It's never easy to share our personal stories, but it's important to me to always be honest with you guys ❤ If you're looking for help, or have any questions, feel free to message me on IG: instagram.com/misskrystlelive/
You never respond to me on Twitter 😂 RUclips you’re good at it though. ❤️ keep rocking hun!
Perfect Angel.
Well if there's anything I have learned about you it's that you're a brave person. You're the gorgeous, red haired music attorney. You're impressive.
@@robgau2501 thank you for the kind words, means a lot 🌹
@@MissKrystlelive glad you’re doing better…it’s kinda simple really…we aren’t made of plant matter …we are made out of meat 💪
A couple years ago, not vegan or vegetarian, but I was trying to lose weight and eat healthier. So I started eating a ton more leafy greens and green veggies (Kale, Spinach, Brussel Sprouts, green beans, broccoli, arugula, and cabbage). A year later I got a kidney stone, turns out my body type doesn't process calcium well and I can't eat most green veggies anymore because my kidneys can't process them very well.
Conversely, my body deals very well with high protein and fat, in fact I have low cholesterol despite having a large amount of meat in my diet.
The moral of the story, everybody's body is different and no diet/lifestyle works for everyone.
It's not calcium it's oxalates. Just don't eat too much high oxalate food (especially raw) and you'll be fine. What is high cholesterol to you? Because "normal" cholesterol levels are atherogenic. Also looking at your image, you are overweight.
@@miz4535 I'll bite, after 5 years on a high fat low carb diet my lipids were LDL 68, HDL 88, and triglycerides 45. Also, contrary to popular beliefs, its the triglycerides and apoB numbers that are important, not the LDL.
@@tinknal6449 Sorry you just deny known science by saying LDL is not important - or actually spread BS the meat and dairy industry through their funded studies.
Your LDL is pretty low but it varies from person to person even on the same diet. On average vegans have lower LDL.

Thank you
That horrendously lonely feeling during end stage veganism when you feel like your body and life is breaking down, while you watch all your loved ones happily living their lives, wondering what is wrong with you. Only long term vegans can understand. I wish you nothing but the best health and recovery. I’m 2 years ex vegan (after 7 yrs veg then 7yrs vegan) and still very much in recovery. It is a long process but your body wants to heal and build up its reserves ❤️🩹
The recovery doesn't happen quickly and part of recovery is accepting that. I started eating carnivore when I started craving meat when I looked through the weekly grocery store ads. I was vegetarian/vegan 10/9 years. It's been 1.5 yrs and I still feel there is a ways to go with healing.
Welcome back to the world.
No need to feel bad.
You didn't fail. The ideological Vegan diet failed you. People just are not evolved to live on plants. That is not your fault. It is just how your biology has evolved over millions of years. A few decades of cultish vegan ideology can't change that.
Welcome to the world. X
@@riffcrescendo1740 well said!
I have had amazing experience with beef liver 💛💙🤍you can get capsules for that too. Wishing you so much wellness and love 😘
@@chevyiceraw it's called aging...nothing to do with eating meat or not
As an ex vegan myself I can only encourage you to gain health back. Take care

Let's just hope the youtuber "the vegan teacher" doesn't go after her. She seems to be one of the last bastions of fanatic vegans with a loud voice, though most of the views come from people wondering how dumb it is.
@@SnorrioK Have you been watching the backlash against Cosmic Skeptic? Vegan You Tube is loosing their collective shit.
@@SnorrioK The funny thing is that whenever TVT attacks someone they end up getting tons of views and new subs.
Veganism is a moral standpoint, you can eat plant based and do it properly, or you can do it improperly. Don't blame the moral standpoint for your own incompetence.
I watched this video 8 months ago. I was having the same symptoms after 3 years of veganism. Your video helped me to realize that im not crazy. I feel incredibly healthy now, by comparison. Thank you for sharing!
I love that, thank you so much for dropping by to let me know!! I actually did a follow-up video here on my channel, I encourage you to check it out as well. So glad to hear you are feeling so much better!
@@MissKrystleliveyes! I think it is important to speak out for people who need to hear the truth! Thank you❤ I will check out your video!
It's really wild because my husband is 9 years vegan now and he seems fine.. yet we were eating the same diet. He thinks I did it wrong.. even though he saw what I ate AND ate the same things. So I am seeing the different effect on humans within my own relationship.
It's wild to see the conditioning run so deep in him... to say this to me even though he knows exactly what we both ate!
How is it possible for him to feel so good and for me to basically almost die?
I dont know.
It's wild to be in this position though.
It remains a very difficult part of my relationship to be called an animal abuser by the person who also in the same breath.. tells me I'm the sweetest person in the world.. and that he loves me.
Shows the the confusion the dogma causes.
Ha.❤
wow! sorry to hear you're being verbally abused in your own home by the person you've pledged to love. that's really tough@@cassclare
So happy to see how supportive the comments are :) glad theres much less animosity against ex-vegans.
Was vegan for 2.5 years and hit rock bottom last week. Developed, like you, horrid neurological issues and caused massive flare ups of rheumatoid arthritis. Also started with reintroducing salmon. Feeling SOOO much better.
Thanks for sharing!
Vegan is a form of fasting. You can fast for a period of time and may actually feel better initially but no one can fast forever, thus, the problems.
Appreciate you! (and apologies for the delay responding). I was honestly shocked to receive so much support. I knew vegans would be coming for me, but the people who released their ex-vegan videos changed my life, and my hope was that I could potentially help someone else. I will be doing a 1 year follow up video soon, and wanted to make sure I responded to all comments. Sending you positive vibes ❤
carnivore diet will fix you
Our stories are so similar. Just started ancestral eating and my symptoms have been flared since and I believe it's from the damage of being plant-based for 4 years with a combo of some other other gut health issues. This video gives me hope to heal! Thank you 💖
Definitely hope in healing. Good luck my friend!!
I also had to give up plant based. It destroys your mental health in my experience and my digestion was going to crap. I had so many "sensitivities" being plant based.
@@plutotoad203 I also take algal omega 3s. Better, in my opinion, than eating mercury contaminated fish. Yes, some RUclipsrs with severe health problems try vegan for a time, often with unhealthy radical variations, then leave for meat. That's not really an indictment of a balanced whole food vegan diet!
I became severely allergic to beets and nutritional yeast about year six of when I was vegan. I would suddenly break out in hives, suffer tachycardia and swollen mouth and fingers and it would last up to half an hour. I also couldnt digest fats very well. I was eating a very whole foods low fat vegan style.
@@blue-fj9ky Spoken like a true cult member.
@@tinknal6449 Personal insults because you could not refute any of my points. Not a great show there, meat partisan!
Harvard, Oxford, Johns Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the American Heart Association, the American Diabetes Association, the American Cancer Society, and the National Kidney Foundation all recommend more plants less meat and support a balanced vegan diet. Because they base their recommendations on the research data.
The "carnivores" have Gundry (a surgeon supplement salesman), Baker (a formerly defrocked surgeon), the Weston Price Foundation (a late dentist), and some RUclipsrs.
Which looks more like a cult?
The mental health thing is something I definitely plan on discussing more with my 1 year follow up video I'm working on (coming soon). Apologies for the delay responding. Sending you positive vibes ❤
This is sadly quite common with long term, strict veganism (ex vegan/raw vegan here). I had a very similar experience; felt great on raw vegan for a month and then felt like crap. My body *loved* getting rid of all the SAD (standard American diet) food... but it couldn't handle all the carbs, and the lack of animal fat and protein. Congratulations for getting your health back on track. Peace.
raw vegan is idiotic and your stupid diet choice caused to feel bad not veganism. If you did it in a sensible way you would be fine. What magical properties are in animal fat and protein? Nothing. They just contain more trans fat and saturated fat.
Thank you for sharing (and apologies for the delay responding). I will be doing a 1 year follow up video soon, and wanted to make sure I responded to all comments. I hope you are living happy and healthy ❤
No sensible vegan doctor recommends raw veganism. That's not what a well balanced whole food plant based diet looks like.
@@mayhu3282 i also don't understand the justification for a raw vegan diet. its just asking for trouble.
Dude veganism ruiiiiined my health, and it took only 6 months. my mother got really ill after only 2 months. We have a very strong dependence on animal foods to stay healthy and we just cannot tolerate their absence. In 6 months I developed 0 libido, brain fog, IBS - i literally shat myself while out on a friday night with a friend, dry skin, weakness, i felt starving all the time - it was a nightmare. i honestly cannot imagine how you did this for 9 years.
@Jilted Valkyrie 18 years wtf. I would have been dead long before that
A few years ago this video would have been blasted by vegan fanatics in a desperate attempt to make you look like an outlier. Many are slowly starting to learn that they were lied to about the health claims and the sustainability of the vegan diet. Glad you are feeling better.
And also being lied to about the death of ecosystems in plant agriculture, not to mention the slaughter of animals that dare to eat the plants being grown in fields and orchards. The squirrels, deer, birds and other mammals don’t magically hold back harvesting the goods out of respect for humans.
Rude behavior is not unique to vegans. I often get blasted by carnivore fanatics!
You're correct. A few years ago she would have been dead meat, pun intended. lol. There are only a handful of vegan idiots attacking her here. Most are very supportive and many spoke from prior experience.
@Happy Carnivore Oh, they care. It's hard to have a polite reasoned discussion once the word vegan appears. It's as if one had identified himself as a Nazi!
Sure, the academy of nutrition and diatetics lies xD
My name is Alicia (this is my hubby’s account lol) but, I’m a fan of yours. Thank you for sharing your story with us ❤️ I’m so happy you are on the road to recovery. You are an amazing strong person. You do what is best for you no matter what anyone says. I’m so proud of you!
Thank you Alicia!! (and apologies for the delay responding). I will be doing a 1 year follow up video soon, and wanted to make sure I responded to all comments. Sending you positive vibes❤
SO glad you are posting this! SO important for people to see. I recently listened to a M.D. speak about why people feel so good the first few months being vegan then years later feel terrible. He explained that when you stop eating animal protein and fat your thyroid starts to go into protective mode. It pumps out hormones to keep you feeling energetic because you aren't ingesting any. Eventually the thyroid begins to fail and we start to become cold and tired vegans. Remember when Freelee used to wear cut off gloves all the time because she was cold...IN THE JUNGLE!
What a great reply, thank you so much! Yes that is incredibly important to look into!!
Thank you! This might be exactly the answer I was looking for. Could you share where to find the entire MD talk you listened to?
@@LightmasterChampion Oh gosh, it was a bit ago. I consume so much carnivore stuff but I think is was Dr. Chaffee.
@@marneangel7 Thanks, will have a look!
As opposed to the millions of health vegan and plant based people all over the world who are in excellent health during their entire life.
Also been vegan for 9 years and been struggling with the idea of coming off of it. But I think it might be time. I still want to make sure I eat very clean, no processed foods. I think at the end of the day that is what it is all about. Eating clean by cutting out the junk. I am active and I just have not seen the gains that I feel like I should be having and I have been supplementing with protein powders and such for awhile now. Thank you so much for this video. Would love to see a follow up if you haven't done one yet.
Try including some eggs and you’ll start feeling much better you’ll see
Appreciate you sharing! (and apologies for the delay responding). Curious what you decided to do (no wrong answer, just hope you are living your best and healthiest life today). I will be doing a 1 year follow up video soon, and wanted to make sure I responded to all comments. Sending you positive vibes ❤
This sounds so much like my story. I started having horrible digestive and nerve issues like twitching and spasms, and chronic shooting pain. No dr could tell me why. I had multiple blood tests, abdominal ultra sound, an upper endoscopy, etc. I was dizzy, lightheaded, and in pain everyday for months. I couldn't eat anything and lost so much weight. My heart would pound in my ears constantly. My blood pressure was super high. I was having panic attacks almost everyday. I called an ambulance 3 times, and went to the ER at least twice as many times
Idk what it was that made me start to think it might be veganism. It didn't even occur to me for awhile. But when i did, i watched a bunch of videos of other people who quit being vegan. I went all in and ate nothing but animal foods and a little bit of fruit. Lots of dairy, eggs, and beef. A couple months went by and i just realized one day that i felt so much better. It was so gradual I didn't notice it happening
Thank you for sharing your story. Ya it's really rough! And often takes SO long to figure out. For some people, like you and I, it was the way we were eating. And adding back-in meats can make all the difference. Everyone is just so different, it's good to do as much research and trial and error to get it right. I'm so glad you are feeling better!
❤❤❤❤ AMAZING! I cannot understand why people would go vegan! It’s such an unhealthy lifestyle
once you go vegan, you will be an idiot ..
How did you acclimate to eating meat and dairy again? I am ten years a vegan and ready to give it up, but even small amounts of meat leave me in gruesome pain for hours.
@@degreaseLLCMaybe a probiotics treatment would help your digestive system to be able to digest it again. Baby steps. I started with eggs. Every time I tried something new my body was extremely happy about it but I took it step by step. I think half a year had passed by before i was ready to try meat.
Congratulations, Krystle.
I'm from Brazil and graduating in nutrition. I feel there's a conspiration to weakening people through veganism and other ideological practices contrary to our ancestral evolution. I hope you regain all the health you deserve to have. ❤️🇧🇷
I appreciate the supportive words. Sending positive vibes to you ❤
Exactly, I 100% agree with this comment
You absolutely right. There is an agenda. One only needs to actually open their eyes. When mainstream tells you something is healthy, do the opposite.
Umm, 10 years vegan and I'm almost 40 and in the best shape and health of my life. My son is vegan since birth almost 10 and he's top of his class and a basass hockey player and musician. Whats he lacking here...????
@@lvnn6198 I wish we can all see how much you and your son are healthy lol. To me it's just a lie. But hey, everybody can believe what they want. Have fun with your end stage veganism.. if you are a real vegan for all that time. Anyway I feel your despair and your suffering, you are probably vegan.
you've always been inspiring to me, but i had no idea the weight of your struggles. so amazing. my attorney is so cool ❤🥺
This made me smile. Thanks for being you, Dylan!
OMG, you just explained all my issues that I had for last 6 months. We had exactly the same simptoms. I also ended up having hert oblation 3 months ago. I would love talking to you about this. Good luck with everything and much of love!
Glad this was helpful!
Me too. Been a year or a few feeling crappy. I also had a heart ablasion 2 years ago. I'm so sad
@@CookiesCritterCareI hope that you feel better now. I am eating everything now and I take potasium supplement, it helps a lot. I don't have any more palpilations and no panics attack. I take 11% daily value patasium per day. Did not have overly low but it looks like that potasium is much lover in cells then in blood. Mine was on lower end but week before my period would always go so low that would give me big palpilations and panic attacks. Talk to your doctor if you think that you could benefit from it. There is also some small pilot study done in 70s about palpitation, panic atacks and low potassium in women. All the best ❤
@21daychallengetochangeyourlife when I had my ablasion they had to iv me two bags of potassium because I was empty. I've had one flare up since then but heart feels better. I'm talking to the dietitian Wednesday to see if I need to start eating meat after 25 years 😪
@@CookiesCritterCare Good luck with everything and just keep in mind if comes back make sure you check potasium first ♥
I tried veganism for a while several years ago. The day I gave it up a drank some milk and ate some beef and my body temperature shot up to a normal level very soon after. (I was constantly cold 🥶 before.) I felt more energy too. I felt like I was back to normal.
Wow. I heard a lot of other people reporting very quick healing like this, once they quit veganism. Here's to you staying healthy and happy ❤
Ive been vegan for over 20 years but have been suffering with many similar symptoms for the past 10 years. No answers from the medical world!! But did find some problems from tests with my functional medicine doctor which I’m dealing with now. My journey started from a health perspective and transitioned to ethical veganisim. I have been torn mentally between both worlds and through advise from my doctor I started with salmon last year. I did have some good improvement but have not been consistent as I continue to struggle with my ethical commitment I have made for so many years. As well as mental issues about being a hypocrite after all the this time especially to those I have taught and inspired along the way😞. Anyway thanks for sharing this, I have found it very relatable to me and I’m seriously considering a consistent transition.
Much Love and good heath

Sounds like you were not eating enough calories. There is no magic meat nutrient
@@80slimshadys I ate plenty of calories. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
@@Cammi-Cat-XIII coldness is a sign of hypothyroidism and/or lack of calories. Were you supplementing iodine?
Enjoyed the post and i wanted to add my experience or over 30 years vegetarian ( occasional dairy ) i dont have or have had any of the physical issues as most of the comments state.
The reasons that decrease health could be to do with a few things other than a plant based diet. Some bodies dont handle processed grain flour products.
And if emotional stress exists its possible nutrients are not being absorbed.
Good luck in finding the way.

I can relate to this. The first thing I tried was fish oil in capsules and I felt euphoric for months. Then slowly decided to introduce other animal products. I had been lacto vegetarian from birth and in my 30’s. So I really expected to do that for life. I had also believed the plant based life was nice so I had also removed dairy for some periods which was the only animal product. I got all the health issues you mentioned except I was overweight instead. A turning point was that I became allergic to the plant based capsules on my supplements and had to spend time every day opening all the capsules and putting the powder into a glass of water and drinking the contents. Also you cannot supplement your way out of deficiency.
Thanks for sharing your experience, and for watching my video! 🖤
I was a vegetarian for over 3 months. I really wanted to stop eating meat entirely after watching certain documentry which shows how farm animals are treated ( couldn't sleep two nights after watching this, and decided at that point I will never eat meat again).
After 3 months of not eating meat at all, I got so weak I couldn't perform basic excercise. Normally I do HIIT couple times a week, I am quite strong and have normally very high stamina, I hike for hours.
After I noticed these effects, I decided I can't sustain this diet for any longer.
Now I eat small amount of meat, mostly fish and sea food, some chicken. I don't eat beef and pork at all. And I am back to normal.
Very glad you're doing better. I think 9 years of depriving my body of bioavailable nutrients did some serious damage for sure, but I'm still on the mend. Here's to your good health 🌹
Buy organic beef or lamb. That way you're supporting an industry that ensures creatures live an enjoyable natural life out in the open eating grass, and not living in sheds eating soybeans and peanuts, getting pumped full of drugs.
I’m seriously considering going vegan but instead am choosing to be part time focus less on labels and more on intuition and health and ethics all in one lol
Such a misleading documentary. Local mom and pop farms have paid heavily for it. They love and treat their animals with care. The farms that practice regenerative farming and don’t pump their animals with drugs and hormones and only focus on feeding them an appropriate species specific diet and give them land to roam around in and actually live on, they’re the true hero’s. It’s the industrialized farms that are the problem. Meat is not evil!!
I watched the video from KFC and quit meat 25 years ago. I'm almost 47 and dying. I think from these videos I realized it's from a vegetarian diet. I went off meat for moral and ethical reasons. I don't want to eat meat. Might cry or get sick I'm also diabetic so I'm screw
You are not a failure. There are chapters in life. It’s just time to move forward. Rock stars can’t be rock stars forever. They lose their voices… they get injuries and then it’s time to move on. Being a rock star was fun, but it doesn’t define a person. Look at Barry sanders. Great great football player. He retired after only 10 years when he was about to break the rushing record. football was a part of him, it didn’t define him. Fans still love him and miss him. And real fans still cheer him on in his next chapter of life because he was a class act guy.
You are a class act woman. You try to help people as best as you can and that is respected. Don’t feel bad you’re moving forward. It’s sad, because it was a part of you for 9 years, but that’s ok. I loved wrestling but it came to an end and I moved on. I became a doctor. I love it. Been one for 11 years now. But I’m looking forward to the next chapter when that retirement day comes. I’m not going to stay a doctor if I stop enjoying it. Sometimes it’s hard because people don’t want to fix their own problems and just want a pill. When I can’t handle it anymore, I will retire like Barry sanders and move on. This is your transition point. It’s bitter sweet. But look forward to the sweet. Don’t dwell on the bitter. There’s a Chinese saying: eating bitter let’s you taste sweet. Remember that. ❤️
I appreciate the support, means the world ❤
You're right that life has chapters with different content. But should all content be celebrated based on "it made me feel better". If my next chapter in life included murdering humans beings because this made me feel better, should I and others not question this decision?
Or do you think that it is okay to exploit and kill non-human animals (but not humans) when we can eat plants instead? If yes, why do you think that?
@@FriedZime god, just let them eat meat! Veganism is NOT for everyone!
@@EASAustraliaNSW god let me just eat humans! Non-cannibalism is NOT for everyone!
You ok with that?
@@FriedZime three things
1. Do I really need to be vegan?
2. Do you realise that some people, especially this woman, can’t live off of a vegan diet?
3. If you care about animals so much, then why aren’t you going into the wild and save monkeys and koalas from their homes getting destroyed? Same with stray cats and dogs, animals getting poached, going extinct and so on.
Hi! Thanks for sharing your story. I was never full vegan but I tried to avoid meat for many years as the MSM tells people to do and absolutely was getting sicker and sicker. I went on carnivore for a while which fixed my list of problems and now am on a similar diet to you with various whole foods but animal-based. My sister has been vegan for about 7 years and I'm worried about her as she has developed a lot of mental health issues that I think could be related to the diet but she does it for ethical reasons and doesn't really want to hear anything. I hope sharing your journey with her helps her. I started following you for your music actually and just saw this video. Best of luck!
This video made me decide to finally let go of being so hard pressed to hold onto my title, and care about my health. Watching your video was like listening to myself talk..your story, is my story. Replace your sweet doggo, with a relationship ending though for me, it was very traumatic for me and sent me spiraling, eventually the dizziness came on 24/7 along with heart palps, crushing anxiety, ER visits, going to every specialist only to be told I was “fine” and “just anxious” went to an eye specialist and got special lenses..nothing helped. After some encouragement from family, and seeing this video I made up my mind this past Monday (on my 5 year vegan anniversary) to start eating salmon and eggs again, I already am feeling a slight difference, and am excited to get on the right track again with my health and having my life back!
Wow, I'm really sorry to hear about the struggle, but I'm so happy you decided to put your health first! It means a lot to me that you shared this with me. Good luck continuing on your path to better yourself! It does get better :)
Did your symptoms get resolved?
24:37! I agree ancestral eating nose to tail is the way to go, it A) is less wasteful and kills less animals than mono-cropping and shipping exotic fruits all over the world. and B) I think there's a reason we would only have access to fresh fruit and veg for a few months a year. I think it's only something to eat when available seasonally. so many of the veg you see in the stores are man-made and not found in nature. e.g., broccoli and all these strange greens. not to mention vegans are consuming unknown amount of pesticides! veganism is lacking 15 essential nutrients. it's an experimental diet.
Exactly.
what's wrong with broccoli tho?
@@trentonharris7676 it's goitrogenic and contains certain substances that are toxic to humans, like sulfuraphane. If you want to consume vegetables, it's best to go for the fermented options, like sauerkraut or kimchi. The fermentation process reduces these harmful substances and increases the amount of vitamins available. It's also easier to digest and helps to keep the gut microbiome healthy.
It's not even experimental, its malnutrition and we know it. We know what deficiencies do to our bodies, we know what toxins do to our bodies. We know that plants don't contain bioavailable nutrients, the right amino acids to allow utilisation of the proteins, we know we've evolved primarily eating animals for millions of years.
It's religious fanaticism, originating from 7th day Adventists who fund health care and education facilities who put out confounded meaningless health surveys to promote their dangerous diet. It should be banned and proper non biased science only, to inform advice.
Appreciate you sharing, and totally agree! (and apologies for the delay responding). I will be doing a 1 year follow up video soon, and wanted to make sure I responded to all comments. Sending you positive vibes ❤
Wow, you have an amazing level of determination and energy. No idea how you manage so many different pursuits and struggle with health issues. Very impressive. I have a niece who is living a strict vegan lifestyle and i worry about the long term health issues she may experience. Maybe she will watch this video...
It would be helpful to her to research both sides of the coin for sure. So she can at least know what to watch for in case health starts slipping. Which, it may not. It just could depending on the person, and if it's for too long. It's not enough to just eat vegetables. There's a lot missing, and so many vegans don't do enough research. Good luck to her!
More power to you really. I’m not a vegan that hates on ex vegans that had health problems during their veganisim.
I could never go back to eating meat 🥩 .
But I think that people going back to meat specially for health reason. Shouldn’t be shame for doing so….
This is a normal vegan
Take notes vegan cult
I appreciate you. I was the same when vegan. People can live their lives and make their own decisions, I never felt like it was my duty to attack people who lived and ate differently than me. Sending positive vibes to you 🌹

Hi .. i was vegan for the last 3 years and I also experienced a lot of the same symptoms .. always when sth stressfull happened I suddenly experienced dizziness it felt like being on a boat constantly I couldn’t sleep well and it could last for weeks .. I experienced that 3 times in 2 years and would last for about 2 weeks .. and I would never think that it could have sth to do with my diet .. I also lost a lot of hair and was sick for about 4 weeks because my immune system was just so bad .. also my energy levels were down.. the worst thing was the emptiness I felt for years.. so much anxiety and really just the way I viewed the world was so pessimistic .. it’s still not all gone but I started to eat animal products now for about a month and I feel already better ..
That's what malnutrition can do to you. Congrats for taking care of yourself.
Thank you for sharing (and apologies for the delay responding). The dizziness and vertigo were some of the worst symptoms, but for some reason it was the least talked about in other ex-vegan videos. I thought it was very important to share my story, just for that reason alone. I will be doing a 1 year follow up video soon, and wanted to make sure I responded to all comments. I hope you are living your best life now happy and healthy ❤
I was Vegan for 8 years, now I eat organic eggs and occasionally something with dairy, I feel liberated, honestly. Still no meat though, Vegetarian my entire life aside from the 8 years Vegan. 💖
What an amazing journey you've been on! More power to you. Here's to a happy, healthy you ❤
The cows must feel liberated when their babies get taken away since the babies would be stealing all the milk.

I have been vegetarian for 10 years. I never went vegan because of health concerns. I am also against supplements that replace a food group long term. The point of supplement is temporary provide what person doesn´t consume naturally for a specific period of time to get levels back to normal. I was also scared that I will need more than just B12 and the idea that I have more pills on my plate than my grandma was very weird. I wanted to put ethics as priority mostly because I felt guilt for eating animal products but after being honest with myself, my health was and still is my priority. I hope I will manage to stay vegetarian forever, since I don´t really want to kill animals. I am just trying to be realistic with what I can manage doing long term and what I can´t.
I'm glad your doing better 😃, health is everything. I was blasted terribly in the past for debating this topic. Learning to Listen to your individual body is key. I'm glad your getting better and I hope you have a amazing ,full healthy life.
Could not agree more! Thank you for the kind words (and apologies for the delay responding). I will be doing a 1 year follow up video soon, and wanted to make sure I responded to all comments. I hope you are living your best life now happy and healthy ❤
It was hard as your friend to see you deal with all those ailments last year, I'm SO happy you're finding balance and healing!! ❤❤
Thanks girl, appreciate you very much!
I found your video, because I feel like I need to transition after 6 years of being vegan, I feel exactly the same way you described health wise, but it really plays with my mind to start eating meat again. Would love to see an update of where you are right now, and if you feel like you've recovered. Take care x
That's a great idea, I'd love to make another update. But to let you know now, yes I feel SO much better. It did a world of good for me personally! Research how to start slow.
You can be healthy as vegetarian, just add dairy and eggs or even fish.
This is VERY interesting. I started a super pure vegan no oil diet 6 weeks ago...and I have not felt amazing that people were telling me I was going to feel. I have had diarrhea several times and stomach aches. And two days ago I have had vertigo dizziness 24/7. I was just starting research vegan dizziness when I came upon your video. I have lost weight though because I have not been able to eat enough calories each day eating just steamed starches and steamed vegetables.
I hope you were able to find a couple things helpful from the video. Vegan and vegetarian diets are really fantastic for doing essentially a cleanse for a number of weeks or months but long-term the things that are missing like iron, creatine, and amino acids start to cause issues. They certainly did for me, but I was so committed to the lifestyle I did not put two and two together. I hope you are doing well and feeling healthy with whatever plan you are on now 🙏
That's is not a healthy diet. Nothing to do with veganism, you're not giving your body hardly anything. Sounds like you're looking for an excuse to quit being vegan.
Interesting, a close friend of mine who's already malnourished and underweight as a vegan is going to try this to gain weight. I told them that this will not work out and that I'm concerned about their health.
@katten138 there's a difference from a vegan diet and a malnourished diet. You can get everything on a vegan diet. Sounds like your friend has no idea about nutrition and what fuel your body needs.. 10 years vegan athlete. A lot of the world's top athletes are vegan. Look it up. Eat 1600 to 2200 calories a day. Look up what your body needs and eat that!
@@katten138 Going to try what? Eating less to gain weight? Decreasing calories by excluding fat? Yeah. That ain’t gonna work.
So glad you are feeling better! You are soooo brave
Means a lot my friend ❤ Hit me up anytime!

Welcome back!🌺 I was vegetarian for several years and then vegan for about 10 years and I got very ill aswell as the years went by. I am a nutritional therapist and I tried EVERYTHING in my power to stay vegan, the gut testing and the tweaking and so on... I never lived on vegan junk, always whole foods plantbased in different ways. Yes, even the Freelee way and the Medical Medium-way. Horrible! It will take a long time to heal all the damage done from my vegetarian and vegan years but I'm atleast on the right path, low oxalate animal based. Can't tolerate any plant foods at the moment. Best regards!🌺
You didn't do it right. JK. Congrats for finding your way and the works on repairs.
Wow, that's a long time. Much love and healing, it will get better with stek and liver.
@@jglee6721 "You didn't do it right". Yup, that's the classic vegan answer.🤣
@@lorilee1931 🙏Thanks!🌺
A lot of vegans say you didn't do it right, because the brain is deprived of healthy animal fats for so many years. I realized I was greatly impacted being vegan for 9 years. I suffered from major depression until I literally ate sticks of grass fed raw butter daily for a year. People don't realize how much damage is done until they start to eat right and feel better.
It appears at times this was hard for you to talk about. Thanks for sharing, very brave of you and enlightening of the potential pitfalls. Bless.❤
For sure, and it shouldn't be. 🙏❤️ Thank you for your kind words! If you like, I did a follow up video 👍
As an ex vegan, getting to know many vegans over the years....one major thing that stood out is that id say (and its anecdotal) that about 80% of vegans have mental health issues, from small amounts to really bad levels.
I've heard ex-vegans talk about this, saying that vegans and vegetarians are so angry and have mental health issues because of their diets. I'm no doctor, and just want everyone to live their happiest and healthiest lives. That is why I went vegan. I thought it was the best diet available. Boy has my opinion changed. Sending positive vibes your way.
Yeah that seems about right. Hence so many going vegan and not eating the proper foods and having such adverse health affects. Blaming the diet rather than their own inability to plan a diet correctly.
The brains need animal fats and cholesterol.
Really? My experience is completely the opposite. Meat eaters get so angry when they find out I don't eat meat. They seem to take it as a personal offense and go on a crusade to prove me wrong. Vegans are more mournful and sad over the needless suffering and cruelty than angry.
@@Ghost-dy9sf there is no proper foods withing the plants kingdom lol
Meat, eggs , milk, fish save lives and build the body. This is the real food. Since the humans exist they consume those foods ,those are the oldest foods.
Very true!
Wow...sorry about your dog! I went through a similar experience in the 1980's with veganism. After 2 years on a vegan lifestyle I went through a period of stress. I experienced debilitating panic attacks. Dizziness...tunnel vision...heart palpitations...perspiring and inability to go out in public. Congratulations on figuring it out...it does pass.
❤️ Thank you so much!!
Yep I was the same and I was only vegan a year. Carnivore/keto now and feel great.
Glad to hear you're doing so much better now. A long road but you'll get there.
Never think of it as failure, failure would be not changing and getting more ill or worse. Nothing is failing if it's something you have to do to survive.
I had a load of issues a few years back after eating certain things and worked out it was all the processed foods with all the chemicals (our food in the UK has less than half the chemicals yours does in the states too), once I cut them out and started making everything myself from scratch most of the issues stopped. But at the same time I was eating a lot of Quorn products (a meat free company in the UK which does have all those preservatives etc in) cause my girlfriend at the time was vegetarian with an eating disorder so I changed my whole eating habits around her to help her be able to eat more. After she left I noticed the strangest thing, I couldn't even stand the sight of raw meat except for bacon and mince beef/lamb, and I'd completely forgotten how to cook meat. And 5 years of no tomatoes due to her intolerance to them, I couldn't eat them anymore, now even after several years the acidity still makes me ill if I have too much tomato in a meal
It's insane the amount of chemicals in most food, and how harmful that is to our health. It sounds like you have really worked hard to find a program that works for you, and to find something that fits your lifestyle best. How are you feeling these days?
@@MissKrystlelive was good for years till covid and all the long lasting symptoms. But yea, I don't exactly have the healthiest of lifestyles but when it comes to food it has to be good food and making from scratch with raw ingredients is always better, though I am still relearning a lot of things I'd forgotten over the years.
I have issues when it comes to food too, I have to eat what I feel hungry for when I feel hungry or I might not eat for a day or 2, so things I cook have to be quick, anything over half an hour / 45 minutes and I'm not hungry anymore . Learning to force myself to eat small things like just a plane tortilla when I feel like I can't eat but need to has helped with that though
@@chriscjjones8182 I'm so sorry to hear you are dealing with lasting covid symptoms :( Stay well my friend
Don't worry, it takes time to heal. It took me half a year to 1 year to recover from severe anemia, brain fog, heart palpitations. Liver waas a game changer.

Thank you for sharing your journey. Wishing you full recovery! I think a well balanced whole foods (I lean towards the Mediterranean style of eating) diet is what makes the most sense to me. I would point you toward maybe looking into mercury toxicity. You have many of the symptoms of mercury.
I'm a carnivore, but agree with vegans. I love animals and think that the ranching industry needs to be more ethical to the animals.
Absolutely. Buy only local and only grass fed + free range ❤️
@@MissKrystlelive free range 🤣
Interesting..most vegans won't tell you the truth about illness do to the diet. Very bad diet for young people. Animal cholesterol carries hormones throughout the body differently and that can be an issue. And as anything, the old adage is too much of anything is no good.
That's not part of the cult indoctrination.

My sister went through this. She had a hard time keeping on weight and was weak all the time. It was hard for her to make the transition but after a few months she started gaining weight and she starting feeling so much better. She is still heavy into veggies but I think she is having meat 3 -4 time a week. You gotta do what's best for you. Big fan of your reaction videos.
I'm glad your sister was able to find a solution. Thanks for your support, Brady ❤
I became dizzy when I first went vegan; had occasional heart pain, nausea, vertigo....it really freaked me out. I would be at home and bump into walls when I got up to move around. Headaches and migraines (I’ve always had them). It was all down to my iron levels and was unaware of being iron deficient. We are more likely to get it due to menstruation, men can get it too.
But yeah doctors need to learn nutrition, so do we! I think it should be taught in schools and from a non bias perspective.
I want to do that with everything now; like if I want to learn something I need to know if from both sides, before trying.
That must have been pretty scary for you. I hope you are doing better today. Appreciate you! (and apologies for the delay responding). I will be doing a 1 year follow up video soon, and wanted to make sure I responded to all comments. Sending you positive vibes ❤
@@MissKrystlelive Thanks. Yes, I'm doing better today, I still occasionally get migraines, but that happens I guess. I know why they might occur now, like not having enough water or bad sleep patterns. But it was scary at first. Hope you're well. Thanks for commenting.
I used to have migraines when I ate a lot of carbs especially simple carbs the day before. Maybe something worth looking at.
I went through this. My story's a little different. I went vegan for 2 years for aesthetic reasons. I wasn't happy with how I looked. It ended up contributing to my CPTSD. I'm no longer vegan and I'm working with a HAES(health at every size) trained nutritionist. So many great things came back and my body is really thankful for it.

I appreciate you sharing your vegan journey. I can relate that it's not easy to stay with veganism when you start getting health problems even when you KNOW you are eating the healthiest you possibly can. Like you, I've been vegan for a long time, about 8 years. The whole time, I've had eczema on my face; red, flaking skin right where everyone who talks to me can see it. My self esteem plummeted 🙁The only thing that cured it was when I stopped eating whole grains. This made me seriously doubt veganism as something that is good for everyone. I'm experimenting with eating meat right now, although I'm a little skeptical since it makes me sleepy after I eat it.
Anyway, I think it's good to prioritize your health over ethics. Wishing you the best in your health
I don't think there is such a thing as "it's good to prioritize health over ethics". If you think something is right (which seems to be what you mean by "good") you think it is ethical. Theres no way It os ethical to prioritize something over ethics.
Either you think that it is
ethical to prioritize your own health and, given that personal experience, or you think it isn't.
Given that personal experience, quit veganism* sorry for the typo lol
Can you not see the cognitive dissonance here?
Appreciate you sharing! (and apologies for the delay responding). I will be doing a 1 year follow up video soon, and wanted to make sure I responded to all comments. Sending you positive vibes ❤

I was vegan for 2.5 years and my health suffered. Mostly allergies and gut issues. I now eat plant based and also organic dairy, free range chicken and eggs. I feel like it is the best for my health and after 3 years I feel better, but still feel guilty as I was vegan for ethical issues.
I've been vegan for almost 5 years but my hair is falling off, my skin has rashes randomly all over. I lost weight weight but gained it all back. I also feel weak. I don't feel "strong" thinking about eating Chipotle or something to see how it would make me feel. I keep hearing "your brain resets" you start to feel better and get better. I still am on the fence cuz alot of doctors still support plant based
Free range chicken hahaha
It’s way more ethical to support the local regenerative farmers that care for their animals and treat them humanely. Nothing is gained by causing your own self to suffer. And the mom and pop farms who’ve had their small farms in their family for generations are now losing their property to massive industrialized farms. They don’t give af about the animals. They stuff them full of drugs and feed them inappropriate and cheap garage food-like substitutes and it actually causes the live stock to develop diabetes and heart disease and cancer, all the same diseases westerners have. The mom and pop local farms aren’t doing this!!! They have beautiful happy animals that can live to 20 years of age because they get to eat grass all day and graze the wide open lands. And when it’s time for them to give their lives it’s done humanely. And from the sacrifice of 1 cow we can feed so many people and allow them to thrive. Please support local farms.
Similar journey, after getting very anxious after losing some family members, whose diets led to their early demise, or at least that is what I was told, I changed my eating habits and started to eat mainly vegetables and fruits. The weight dropped off me and made me actually look and feel very weak and lethargic, everyone made comments about my weight and how I looked very skinny. I have never been overweight and was always considered to be within the healthy BMI range (24) and now I am at the lower end, more towards the underweight BMI (18).
So, my advice to anyone who's in the same boat, is eat a nutritious diet, with plenty of healthy choices, don't be completely vegan, eat meat, eggs, chicken, bread, pasta etc, although the carbs need to be balanced and not too high (maybe 100g or better) as that can be problematic and raise glucose levels.
Another extremely important point I would like to add, was my relationship with food from a very early age, I would associate certain food types to unhealthy states, like being overweight and obesity, and many around me were very unconcerned when they were carrying excess weight and munched on snack foods most of the day. No exercise and overeating became my pet hate cycle, and I would struggle to eat small portions, when others could consume 3-4 times the food I could manage. As time passed, I witnessed family and friends' health decline and they passed away too young, from what was 'in my perspective' of 'preventable health problems' I was convinced I had been right all along, this compounded my restricted eating habits and rapidly losing weight immensely. However, I had gone to other extreme, and losing weight that put me in danger from being malnourished and underweight, that made me feel very unwell and unhealthy, so we have to be careful at both ends of the spectrum and somehow maintain a healthy balance.
Please, kindly be aware that restricted diets are not healthy, a balanced nutritious intake of varying foods, vitamins and exercise will maintain your mental, physical and emotional well-being and you will live longer!
All in all, moderation and regular meals are the key to staying healthy and you will benefit greatly and look much healthier. Don't overeat and stick to a 2000 calorie daily intake and you will be fine.
i actually really enjoyed your video and information, ive had health issues for many many years, and diet is huge, ive spent over ten years, and ive found that meat is a must, veggies are good for some and bad for other, but meat is goods for all with out question, and raw milk is so good. thanks for your video

Was also vegan for 8 years, got really bad symptoms in the end, my docs told me its ms. Had find out everything myself and had pretty much all deficiencys you can get. The biggest one was b1 (had beri beri), that symptoms where so bad i thought i would die. Could not move right, nerve pain, you not speak or think right and even now 1,5 years later i still try to fix all the damage i did to my body. I also did all the supplements etc.

I’m currently doing a fast for 50 something days (vegan, no gluten) and I might stick with this lifestyle perhaps incorporate gluten in my diet again. But stories like these might want to make me come back to eating animals again but we’ll see how my body responds to being a long term vegan.
Hi, I can really relate & searched for ex-vegan videos. I went vegan for a year doing the very low fat starch diet. I was quite loyal but once in awhile I'd 'overeat' fat. I was trying to lose weight & did succeed in about a 25lb loss. I however was very tired and losing my once thick hair. I recently stopped being vegan and was eating dairy, eggs and poultry for a week now. I decided yesterday to try to eat just seafood. I keep wondering if it was just me, not doing the diet correctly. I was taking B-12 pills but still on low side. I'd take 1000 mcg but would sometimes miss a few days...your video has helped me gain good insight. Thankyou..i also will mention my energy is now coming back. I just feel better..the first day i ate an egg i had planned to just eat one...i had 6 of them...my stomach rumbled & rumbled but in a good way, like it was thanking me...i felt so much better on just that...it really is like your body is saying, it needed that.
And that's the whole idea, your diet must be based off of what you individually need. Great work! I'm so glad I could help. I did a follow-up video if you're interested, it's also on my channel :)

Thank you for sharing! I became anemic after just 2 years of being vegetarian & 1 year of being vegan when I was a teenager - even with supplementation. It was very scary & I ended up in the hospital because of it. I quit the diet to get my iron levels up but rarely ate red meat - only chicken & fish mostly. I became anemic again 2 years ago after having a copper IUD for just 6 months, which caused very heavy cycles. I had to go to the hospital and get iron injections and later had the IUD removed. I had to go on birth control pill for a year with supplements just to get my iron levels back to normal. I finally stopped taking the birth control pills a few months ago after having my iron levels finally test normal bc they were making me crazy. Long story short - I become anemic very easily - my body NEEDS meat! Supplements unfortunately are not enough. I love animals & I love the idea of being vegan - I don’t even like steak that much but I force myself to eat it or lamb at least once a week bc I don’t want to go through what I went through again!
8:55 it's actually more than that, if you don't get B12 your body actually starts to eat the brain and spinal cord. also bc of the complexity of B12, there are only cyanocobalamin and methylcobalamin on the market as supplements to buy BUT that isn't adequate. very scary.
Please point me to any major study at a respected scientific institution that shows B-12 supplementation is inadequate.
@@blue-fj9ky Why do you use animal products needlessly for entertainment while pretending to be vegan?

Thank you for this video. I’ve been vegetarian since 2013 and vegan since 2020 and my health has declined significantly. All the symptoms you had, I have. This is my confirmation. I’m going to go back to be pescatarian. I miss my old self. I’ve been having these hormonal imbalances and I’ve done everything except let go of veganism. It’s no longer manageable for me.
Thanks for posting this. I’ve been vegan since 2016 and have been craving eggs recently so guess I’m gonna be a veggie going forward. Whilst I’ll continue the vegan meats and plant based milk etc I’m going to take the route of local farm free range eggs as opposed to the super market produce.
That sounds like a nice balance. Your body will tell you what it needs, not just want it wants. Good luck! If you're interested, I have an updated video to this one!

Appreciate the kind words! (and apologies for the delay responding). I will be doing a 1 year follow up video soon, and wanted to make sure I responded to all comments. Sending you positive vibes ❤
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience! To be honest, I’ve been having quite a few issues in the last few years, such as underweight, teeth problems, etc. However, I’m so terribly bothered about the environmental and the ethical issues that I don’t dare to start eating animal products. What would you say about the ethical aspects?
Best,
Anna
Theeth problem can happen over the years as we get older regardless of diet. You should be careful with strong citric food like lemons to protect your teeth. Go to a vegan doctor and get proper advice :) also read the book of alissa vitti on how to fix your hormones. That's works well vegan. The ethical and environmental aspect is a big issue yes
You have to deprogram yourself. We ARE meat eating animals and there is no reason to feel bad or apologize for this.
The extreme difficulty in maintaining weight (and always being on the very skinny side) was tough for me too. Appreciate you sharing! (and apologies for the delay responding). I will be doing a 1 year follow up video soon, and will specifically be talking more about the identify/ethical aspects of making such a big change like this. Sending you positive vibes ❤
Thank you Krystle so much for sharing your journey!
You're most welcome Pamela!
Note to my other comment: about what you said with the weight gain, same for, i was always pretty lean but found out that you literally cant use your nutritions if you are extremely low in b1. So i lost even more weight and could not gain any. At one point i was 52kg as a 1.90 male. Since i started high dosage therapy of b1 - for the first time in my life i gain weight in a easy a normal way.
@VeganPhobic add this to your no longer vegan 2022 edition lmao
Haha do it! I will be doing a 1 year follow up video soon, and wanted to make sure I responded to all comments. Sending you positive vibes ❤
Same story here. So proud you saw the light.
Life eats life. Its the nature of existence. Buddhism tenets say life is suffering. Through liberation of suffering, we will find the truth and find peace. Ironic some Buddhists misinterpret that as becoming vegan. This tenet made me realize I need more meat actually. I say grace to the animals. End suffering by creating suffering. Life is suffering but it can be ended through self discovery.
Sadly, we can’t end death, pain and suffering. No matter how much we “limit” it, it will still happen somewhere in the world 😞
Love this, thank you for sharing (and apologies for the delay responding). I will be doing a 1 year follow up video soon, and wanted to make sure I responded to all comments. Sending you positive vibes ❤
wow, I really appreciate this comment, it expresses a depth I rarely see shared...... I didn't want to kill aniimals to noourish myself, but over time I felt like was "refining" myself out of existence. Now I bless the animals which gave their lives for me,
and I seek to live with love and vitality, so that they didn't die in vain! Bless all beings, we all nourish each other.
Plants are coated with pesticides...which may actually be a major cause of things like IBS and "leaky gut" aka intestinal permeability.
I think plants are important but I don't think that humans in the past ONLY ate plants. Just like I don't think that humans in the past ONLY ate meat esp if you consider seafood meat or not. Both veganism and carnivore are extreme diets.
Since you mentioned pesticides, I’ll put this little rant here…lol🤷🏻♀️😁
Plants contain their own pesticides (phytotoxins) they make themselves to keep animals from eating them. They can’t run from predators, so they make toxins to ward them off. In food, they’re referred to as anti-nutrients. These are oxalates, phytates & lectins. They’re ANTI-nutrients because they actually make nutrients in the food not bioavailable for humans to use/absorb & they will actually leech nutrients from your body & bind to them, robbing them from your body. They are what the vegan community never talks about, never addresses. It’s the ugly secret of the “vegan starvation diet.”
I was vegan for 3 years and when my health completely failed (to the point of pre-diabetes & losing 8 teeth from dietary deficiency), I was forced to step out of my altruistic, biased perspective & actually research the diet from the perspective of needing to understand its shortcomings…so I could understand why it was so harmful to my health. I was astounded at the hidden information, the misinformation, the ignorance & the outright bias-fueled LIES that surround the vegan diet.
From much research & personal suffering, IMO, the vegan diet is an incredibly harmful way of eating. It eventually catches up to you.
It is always good to get open and tell your story
Agreed 😁
Don't you want to do a interview with Sverige, he is definetly on the extrem side but he has definetly some interessting points. And his Ex-Vegan videos are definetly very descent...
Thank you for sharing - wishing you well on your journey back to health 🙏🏽
Thank you so much!
Depends on how the beans are processed I pressure can mine. the high temps make them more digestible and more nutritious... That being said I never eat bean without animal products even add homemade beef broth and meat to my refritoes cheese also
I like your method! Appreciate you (and apologies for the delay responding). I will be doing a 1 year follow up video soon, and wanted to make sure I responded to all comments. Sending you positive vibes ❤
Wow! Why do vegans always cope so hard when someone wants to sort their health issues out, smh.
You don't want to see animals suffer, but have no issues when its a human 🤦♂️
That's right Blinky!!
Yesss! Someone please explain this
Haha vegans do have a bad reputation of being so loving to animals, and kind of dicks to people 😅 Appreciate you (and apologies for the delay responding). I will be doing a 1 year follow up video soon, and wanted to make sure I responded to all comments. Sending you positive vibes ❤
❤ I'm glad you're okay
It's been really hard, but I'm grateful to be doing so much better ❤ Thank you for always being so supportive. It means a lot.
Thank you for speaking out. Definitely everyone should familiarize themselves with the consequences before deciding to go on a vegan diet. The body always knows better.
100%, thanks for watching!
Hi! Greeting from an ex vegan too. I'm from Spain and when i started to go vegan theres was almost no information (like 8 y ago). But i was super into animal rights and i become an extremist vegan.
I even created a vegan group in my city and we was pioneers in making true boxes.
I was super into that because i studied a 2 year degree of animal science (like animal farming) and i started a degree in veterinary medice so i had plenty of information.
Like 3-4 years after starting in veganisim i started to fell unwell, i was felling sleepy, weak and pain all the time.
I had a really bad time realising i was not ok. I tried to change my diet, to take B12 suplements....
Finally 4 years later of veganism i started to eat milk and eggs (mostly organic) and some fish. That was one of the hardest things i ever done, i was feeling all the time like a murder.
I went to my vegan friends looking for some confort and they treated me like shit telling me i have never been a "real vegan" (despite i spent all my life doing voluntarism and study really hard with no life for help the animals).
In the end they refuse to talk to me, i left the group i created and i started to follow my own way.
After that i visited some organic farms (in Spain there's a strong regulation arond that) and i realized if we support small, grass-feed farms we are helping the animals (better live possible, natural cycles, good for enviroment and wild animals...) In my uni are making a research and they found that goat and sheeps in pastures are good for enviroment (they keep CO2 into the floor so they have negative carbon print). So now like 8 year later im staring to eating an small amount of meat from local bio farms.
The fact is follow a vegan diet is extremely dificult, you need to know a lot about nutrition. Any vegan talk about that but im pretty sure that the most of them have health problem. Nowdays veganims is not about helping animals, veganism is a religion how make you stay apart from your family, friends and even enyoy life.
I know some extra kind vegans, so i dont think all the people is bad. I'm only talking about my experience.
I really think if carnivores, flexitarians, vegans and vegetarian work all together we could make better for the animals.
Wow! This was an amazing video! You explained everything so perfectly, and how cool is that, that you are beautiful, smart, and a lawyer! that is also super artsy and plays music! What a great vibe! you described all your symptoms so perfectly and the thought processes while vegan, the always needing to maybe eat cleaner, or fast, or cleanse, or a new supplement. My friend and I were both raw vegans and swore we would do it for life, but I just wasn´t feeling right, no matter what i ate , all fruit, no fruit, just veggies, raw til 4, dates and bananas, only greens etc and my girlfriend, she had her own set of symptoms, losing her period, and hair falling out. Almost simultaneously we decided we were done, that we needed the cholesterol in eggs. Now we are full on carnivores! I still feel so bad for the animals, the first time down the meat isle I almost gagged and couldn´t do it. I still feel so bad, but i also know that i just couldn´t live one more day feeling so out of sorts and bad. So thank you so much for this video. Very well done
Appreciate you sharing, truly! (and apologies for the delay responding). I will be doing a 1 year follow up video soon, and wanted to make sure I responded to all comments. Sending you positive vibes, and hope you and your friend are feeling great. I will be addressing the ethical/identity part of being an ex-vegan in my update video ❤
You can be healthy as vegetarian, just add dairy and eggs. Don't need to eat meat if you don't like meat.
25:06 I recently found lamb organs (kidney, liver) for only $3/lb at a local supermarket. Lamb is always grass-fed. Great healing foods.
I haven't tried lamb or lamb organs yet, but ventured into beef liver. Trying new things these days for sure 😅 Sending you positive vibes
@@MissKrystlelive Wonderful that you're trying offal. This will help sped up your healing.
Like many things in life, it all comes down to balance.
❤️❤️
I am so glad you are recovering! It amazes me that with all the research you were doing it took so long to suspect nutrient deficiencies. What do you think was blocking you from considering that? I don't mean to judge at all, I just thought you might have some insight. I see a lot of people getting stuck in a restrictive diet getting worse and worse outcomes without suspecting that their diet is a problem. This is particularly prevalent with restriction of animal-based foods in my experience.
It's blessing in disguise. In Traditional Chinese medicine they would ask what did you eat? It shows the blind spot of conventional medicine.
A totally fair question! I saw some ex-vegan videos from time to time, but I'll be honest, I kind of dismissed the information because it simply "didn't apply to me." I felt pretty good most of time, and never correlated feeling tired, hormone issues, or having foggy brain with my diet. My bloodwork always came back great, which kills me to think about. I didn't understand that you can ingest a ton of plants and supplements, but your body might not be absorbing the nutrients. I always thought any issues I had were from stress or something else. Having my body start shutting down on me was an eye opener for sure. How can someone get like that when their diet is "so healthy"? Even with the significant supplement-taking that I did every day, to ensure I did not become deficient in nutrients, I still suffered severe health consequences to being vegan long-term. I just hope this video helps other vegans and vegetarians who are suffering with health conditions consider looking at their lifestyles, and to challenge a narrative that promotes plant-based living as the only acceptable way to live. What I've been through it not living. Not even close.
@@MissKrystlelive thank you for the reply!
