So, that is it! You know you "made it" in life when someone like Dr Greger sends you some gifts! OMG! Love it!!
oh no! I'm so sorry to hear, I hope he is okay!
@@SimnettnutritionWhat? 😅
😂😂
@@Simnettnutritionare you sure that was kale in that salad 🤔
Some youtubers are on the platform for attention and clout but then there’s genuine RUclipsrs like Derek who sincerely want to help make people’s lives better.
Thanks for making RUclips a wholesome and worthwhile destination Derek and Crystal.
Beautiful people, inside and out!
My favorite type of Simnett Nutrition video! Longer, full day of eating, some movement, a Crystal appearance…. Love it!
Yes, simmering/boiling tofu for about 20 minutes in a marinade will give it much more flavor than just letting it just sit in the same marinade. It also changes the texture. It is a game-changer for those of us who want to eat more tofu, but don't really like the flavor of plain tofu. Same goes for soy curls.
Hey Derek, you probably know about a cat's purr being the exact frequency to aid healing and calm them, which is why injured cats often purr. So maybe the trigger point massager vibrates at a similar frequency. Just a guess.
Interesting!
Do this for your golfers elbow or tennis elbow:
You’ll need a hair band, Crystals hair bands work well or just small rubber bands you find on broccoli.
Wrap them around your finger, near the finger tips and open your hand as far as it can go, do reps of 20 x 3-5 times about 2 times per week should be fixing you up.
OBS: I am into grip sports/ armwrestling so I deal with these things a lot.
Interesting! thanks for the tips my man I will try anything at this point.
@@Simnettnutrition Goodluck to you, let me know in the next video how it is:)
Thank you for this great suggestion. I have that elbow pain anytime I do weight lifting. I am old and have fingers that lock and a little wrist (carpal tunnel) as well. I think this could improve it all. With a try.
Derek, the best thing I’ve learned from you is mixing a ton of textures and flavors into the dish makes each component more delicious. Also, yes, I loved the new “Day of Eating” format. It’s hard to imagine that you continue to improve your content, but somehow you do. Crystal cameos are part of the magic too, because you guys are such a great support for each other. Looking forward to seeing how you use the beans Dr. Greger sent you!!
Alternative way to fix quinoa. Cook it anyway you like. Store in the refrigerator and then reheat on low to medium flame in a dry non-stick pan, I use a granite one. Use whatever herbs/spices you like. Quinoa will get crispy as you let it cook, turn over frequently and when golden brown serve up with all of your other ingredients. It's super YUMMY!
Thank you! Sometimes quinoa tastes blahhh
Sure is blahhh and frequently uninteresting. By accident I discovered this technique@@emilywilson7308
For golfers elbow, I've heard training finger and wrist exstensors helps. Because of all the gripping in working out and life the flexors get used but not extensors. One way is to put hand in bucket of rice and open your hand from a fist to extend fingers against the resistance of rice and repeat 😊 also training the rotator cuff
Thank you for the tips!
@@SimnettnutritionI've heard the same and athleanx channel has a great video on how/why fingers impact elbow in this way! Good luck! Love your channel.
Wow so many things to try.
I haven’t seen those hybrid kale and Brussels sprouts but they looked awesome. I also enjoy how much you love food! 🙂 I feel like everyone is down in the dumps and just seeing your “heck yeah” when you tasted the food made me smile. 💜💜💜
Omg such a legend, almost 700k subs, dude you're amazing ... I love how just being honest to yourself and others is valued
Your skin looks so healthy, it's insane.
Wow! That mic makes a huge difference. And I always thought the sound of your videos was great before. I definitely appreciate seeing the "repetitive" food as that's how I like to eat, too. And seeing that it serves you and your health well makes me feel better about my own eating. Which, today for lunch, included a Simnett-approved grilled avocado sandwich with miso paste and mustard. That combo is so ridiculously good. As always, awesome video. Thanks for the good vibes. ✌
Thanks so much for the mic feedback! It's been fun to use so far. Enjoy your grilled avocado sandwich! It's one of the best things ever :)
I must try this sandwich! Did you fry this in a pan? Did you use any fat on the outside?
I literally just found you!! I'm so happy i did 🥳🌞
You'll never leave.
Derek, i'd consider getting a tens machine for your elbow pain and any other pains that occur
Omg yes! Those Rancho Gordo are the best beans ever! My mother in law gets them for us for Christmas every year! 🥰 such a great present!
1:15 I started taking Glucosamine a few months ago because of achy hips. I'm not old or anything (29) but I've done a looot of high-impact sports like parkour, skateboarding, and rugby. I can't honestly say it's "healed" anything but the aches have definitely subsided! My knees also feel great even though I wasn't consciously aware of any knee pain before taking it but evidently they weren't 100%!
Glucosamine is like a precursor for cartilage and tendons and stuff, and it's cheap. you can buy it in supermarkets, at least in the UK
edit: the timelapse was hilarious! double rotations with the rope are crazy difficult haha
For tendonitis, what worked for me was: modifying every exercise, icing it 3-4 times a day, tendonitis stretches 3-4 times a day, and tendonitis self-massages three times a day. And rest. Lots of rest.
Literally, I didn't do any curls or straight arm shoulder raises, or any aggravating tendon workouts for 6 whole months. It took 6 whole months to get at 95% healed. The last bit, I can't figure out, but I'm able to curl light.
It's going to suck being off the gym but you gotta modified my dude. Have a good recovery *salute
I had a tennis elbow for two years. It was so bad I had to wear 2 braces. The steroid shots didn't help. I decided to do juicing. Wasn't even thinking about my elbow pain. After 10 days of drinking freshly homemade juices, it totally went away, never to return. I was amazed!!! It's worth a try.
Man I feel you. I came down with bug for a whole week. Getting back to the exercise routine lifted me up so quick! As always great meals, great fun, and wow what an incredible clip with the jumping rope you nailed that.
Your meals always look so good. Yes, jump for heart still happens every year at the schools. The fast paced skipping was so funny. You looked like you were hovering over the ground. You are an inspiration to lot of viewer.
Hey Simnett! In regards to the issue you brought up at the beginning, the tendinitis, I have experienced that intensely as well since I am a rock climber. I tried EVERYTHING and it just wasn't working. What finally seemed to help make it go away permanently was gaining some weight. I can't explain why that might be, but after packing on a few pounds, muscle and fat, I have never experienced it again. Also just doing more frequent yet lighter sessions for a few weeks works very well, rather than taking a break! I know you already do beet juice, and that's another great solution, along with watermelon due to the rich availability of lycopene due to the cardiovascular benefits. Praying that you find a solution as I know how awful it can be!
me over here 30 pounds overweight peak bulk with tendinitis
Thanks for another excellent video. The gym definitely contributes to our overall happiness. Glad to see you could go back. Yummy recipes. 🌱💚✌🏻
Love that we got a a workout with a full day of eating video. Working out definitely helps! I can't go more than a few days without getting a good workout in. Feels great to push your body. Love Simnett Nutrition!
Tendons are built through time-under-tension, so lots of isometrics. for elbows, you wanna do light pulling exercises, or heavier holds (like dead hangs). They're also much more dependent on collagen to repair and build, so you want plenty of that in your diet.
Forget Instagram worthy....that dish is 5 star restaurant worthy!
Thanks!
Injured and not being able to do usual workouts is frustrating.
Yup when I don’t get good intensity exercise for a couple days I don’t feel normal
Medial epicondylitis sucks
Try ART (active release, myofascial work)!
I think one cause is Not gripping pull up or lat pull bar hard enough ( fingers partially open)
Good luck
Being injured sucks
Rainbow plant life did a great video comparing canned to cheap and fancy (rancho gordo) dried beans, and in most tests she found the rancho gordo superior!
Yeah they bean the best for years
To be fair (and I hear this from more and more people): oatmeal falls out of my stomach in an hour and I become hungrier then I was before. 🤷♀ It does wonders to my skin when it's in creams though.
I love these full day videos of yours, thank you! 😊
Maybe try steel cut oats or old fashioned oats if you use instant. Also try to not use sugar and instead use fruit with fiber. The lower glycemic means you don't overshoot and dip below normal blood sugar and get hungry.
Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos. I LOVED the jump rope editing effects you did!!!!! So cool!!! I never saw that before. Also I really appreciate all your recipes videos even if they are repetitive and simple. It is a great reminder that it doesn’t have to be complicated to be good! Thank you!!!
Back when I worked construction before retirement I used to get tendonitis in my left elbow. A compression band on my left forearm relieve the pain immediately. The downside is you will need to wear for a few weeks to allow the tendon swelling to go down. Good luck.
You have some of the most interesting food choices up by you. Your meals look just delicious and give me much needed inspiration when I am in a food rut. Or an exercise rut as well! I always look forward to watching your new creations.
You are so inspirational. i am isolated from my family due to covi--d, I can't wait to get back in the kitchen to cook healthy meals and exercise with my family.
Your food always looks so good and you make it appear largely effortless, it's a skill. Loved the jump rope speed up, so funny. Great video, more please. x
For your golfers elbow, start doing trigger point all over your arms, your chest and your shoulders. I use a rolflex to do my arms and a lacrosse ball for everything else. Make sure you stretch your arms daily too.
Also you should get a flex bar/ dumbbell variants and start doing eccentric exercises. Once you have no pain during the exercises add pronation/supination exercises.
I have tennis and golfers elbow from 8 years of rock climbing and over training and these have helped me alot.
Working out with rings and dumbells with fat grips helped me to not feel and strengthen my elbows. Also stretching the biceps and getting the spot massaged
Haha! The old time music while you jump roped. This was great. It’s nice to hear from you more throughout. I sprained an ankle this past spring prettyyy dang well & was also on the depressed express. Keep moving everyone! Spring will be here again 🤗🌱
P.S. YES! Love how pretty you eat 🥒
Great video, Derek! So much good food, exercise and information. Nice to get beans and a book from Dr. G!❤
Thanks again!! So helpful!! In the PNW so definitely hear you re the short and dark days - working out is a must as well as a full spectrum SAD light for sanity!
I looooved the music at 21:24 😍 made it feel like a party to eat healthy and got me so motivated💪🏽
I’m still struggling with my new lifestyle on plant based! I’ve been basically eating oatmeal or fruit smoothies for breakfast! For lunch!! I’ll make a tofu sandwich! Salads for dinner! Las tight I had apple crisp! I did have a steak sandwich! Cesar salad! Thank you
Derek for all you do to help us! To show us!!
Watching your content is like a comforting hug. Just want to say thank you.
that dressing you made at the end sounds amazing, definitely want to try and replicate it!!
Thanks for the sauce recommendation!! It’s hard to find sauces without preservatives and gluten. This is such a win!
Love that your Tahini is always pourable. Where I live in North Queensland I have to always give it a good stir as the oil comes to the top. Even turning it upside down doesn't help. Like to see salads and foods suitable to tropical weather. Often hard to eat casseroles when it is 34 deg celcius and80-90% humidity. Your recipes are inspiring.
PRP is miraculous and will fix your tendinitis; a worthwhile investment!! YES, I also love to skip and the doubles are challenging but sooo rewarding when you make progress and like everything, consistency is key! The FF effect is so cool! I've got to try the kalettes and make your pasta salad recipe!😋
Keep doing what you do. I love all the comments and tips!
Hi Derek, i used to suffer from golfer-elbow in both my forearms for anout 4 to 6 months each to the extend that i couldn't rinse my face at the morning, becouse it was so painful. So my treatment was - as in your case - trying anything possible to get relief and get back to what i love, whoch is working out. Becouse we are talking about tissue, which isn't supplied with blood like muscles for example i was doing: a) silikon suction (vacuum) pads massage to increase blood flow in the area, b) submerging elbow in very warm water and hand massage, c) "negative wrist curls" excersise (or howeever it's called); you sit down, grab a light dumbbell, arm on your knee and faceing your palmupright, you lift dumbbell helping your other hand (it's very important not to lift with arm you have pain in) and then only lowering. This helped me and ia have no pain whatsoever since 5 years. Good lock :) PS, do you guys eat sweets?! Like a vegan chocolate? I think, i never saw a video about sweets :D
1 block is never enough and 2 is too much lol. So we just make 2 and use the rest for lunch the next day!!!
I'm not vegan and yet I see myself making more and more of your meals and they are so good! 🤤🤤🤤
That's okay! you don't have to be vegan to eat veggies! My recipes are for everyone. Thanks for watching.
One good recipe at a time!
Heyo Derek! Old fan here, I have also golfer elbow now, I guess too much weighted pullup, combined with too frequent handstand training and the fact I did not switch to chinup/neutral in the last 2 years, brought me to this point. I paused weighted pullup since one month, and focusing on rings, they are fun and I am able to continue vertical pull movements, I hope you recover soon and I understand you on much golfer elbow can be annoying
The oats thing was great! I know five cardiologists who all eat oatmeal with berries for breakfast! So do I!
What a great and easy hack to freeze the ginger 💯
I would ice that elbow for 20 minutes a couple times a day to help reduce the inflammation. You can get ice packs attached to Velcro straps to wrap around your arm so you can carry on with your busy day. But a ziplock bag and a rubber band can work too. As always, great video….very informative and entertaining. Thanks for that jump rope LOL moment. Like the new mic.
I have the same problem with my elbow. Reiki healing really helps.
11:57 - 12:28 needs to be a short, Derek. Cheered me right up, man. 😅 Thanks for all that you do.
I've never seen Kalettes before. They looked good. I love peanut butter in oats. I always feel better when I workout too. The jump roping 😅 I don't like when it gets dark early. Hope your enjoying your weekend.
Good luck with your elbow - I've had the same issue for years due to a broken arm that didn't heal quite right. Unsuccessful: physio, chiro, acupuncture, massage... We also have PEMF, HBOT and surprisingly, it got better but not all gone. A medical pain specialist recommended wearing an elbow sleeve - I'll have to try again.
Most of all though, I think daily fascia scraping would be the most helpful. That's where I am, just waiting for the tool to arrive. Hope this helps and good luck!
PS love that Dr Greger sent you his new book!!!
Definitely loved this new format, a nice way to reshuffle the content a bit! I especially appreciated the gym part. Usually it is just footage with music, this time it felt much more engaging
I feel your pain. I am by-far a golfer also but however suffered golfer elbow. I had to take time off as well. I like the meal ideas too.
Thanks, I hope you are healed up. It sucks!
Great video. Hilarious jump roping. We've been jumping rope lately as well. Brings the inner child out, like sprinting does (for me anyways!) Don and I are trained in acupuncture & Oriental medicine, and we've both had a history of elbow tendonitis, among other injuries. Just so you know, acupuncture can def. help, but it is most effective done consistently in a short time span. In China, treatments would be daily, or near daily until resolved. So, keep at it. We also use red light therapy. We have a Photizo which is a gizmo for using diffused infrared and red light that you can hold over areas around the elbow. We also have a heat lamp. Sometimes we do Gua Sha, a scraping technique. It may hurt quite a bit, but can really help break up stagnation. We use a Chinese soup spoon. Just apply some oil on the area. Ask your acupuncturist if he/she thinks it would benefit your situation. Also, Don just bought Swissies hand grips to put on the chin-up bar. The angle may help keep your arms in better alignment, w/ less strain on elbows. Shoulder mobility work can help as well.
Otherwise, I never thought to freeze ginger before grating. What a great tip! Your food looks great as always. ~Tracy
I loved the look on Crystal’s face when she tried the preworkout. I actually take that to I tried it straight with a mouth of water but I almost choked on the tart powder lol so I just put it in my water bottle with about 8oz of water.
I totally hate day off from the gym. One, I go in long walks but I almost feel guilty about taking one day off a week but I know it’s good for me. To have a rest day.
Couple of considerations for elbow. Therapy can provide iontophoresis, which gets into tissue and reduces inflammation. You could try a tennis elbow brace and lastly a topical anti inflammatory. Here in states we have Voltaren gel. Good luck
I was having elbow issues too and never thought to use my massage gun - great idea! I hope yours heals quickly! And yes, not exercising is so bad for mental health and our mood 😞
Loved the laughter during your oatmeal 😂
Yay, I pre-ordered How Not to Age 🙌
Your sped up jump rope looked like something out of a Jamiroquai video clip! 😀
😂 the jump rope thing was so cool! Thanks for the smiles and motivation.
That Japanese sauce sounds lovely. Gonna see if I can find some to try. I don't know if organic ginger root is exempt, but I read you should always peel ginger as it is sprayed with an anti fungal chemical after picking?
Love this videos, keep them coming please!
The faces you made when taking the pre-workout straight to the dome! haha. I bought beetroot powder for a pre-workout after seeing the amount of nitrates in it, and I'm making the same if not worse faces when having it haha. (I know beetroot crystals taste better, but I can't rationalize having it when I know there's something better a.k.a. the straight powder.
For your elbow, I'd recommend lightening the weight and doing super slow eccentric movements with faster or the same speed concentric movements. This will be safer for your joint, putting less force in the joint, while still putting the muscle through a lot of strain. Taking the movement slow will also help with gauging what range of motion of causes pain, you can then progress to making this ROM as high as possible without pain. You should also pause when the muscle/tendons are most stretched in the movement (for the dip, this would be at the bottom of the movement), this will allow the joint to not undergo a large change in force as the joint hinges quickly. Pausing will allow the force to come over a larger time period and cause less stress to it.
Hi Derek, just to let you know when we suffered from 'tennis elbow' aggravated by badminton what helped a lot was a wrist strap. Believe it or not the support of the wrist
helped the elbow pain so much. You need to get a proper wrist support. Hope this helps
ciao Carole from New Zealand
Hi Derek and Crystal
I just wanted to say thank you and happy holidays. Your videos helped my family transition to a mostly plant based diet, we have never felt better (and saved so much money, lentils ftw!). None of us are crazy jacked body builders like you and Crystal but we believe a plant based diet can help us live a longer life! Thank you
Derek, it's been a few years since I watched your videos or followed posts in the FB group. I am blown away by the gains you've made!! Great going!
Thank you!!! Where ya been?!?! 😆 Haha thanks for checking in and the kind words.
My elbow got better with acupuncture, massage, and a tens unit. Acupuncture every 2 weeks massage weekly tens unit every couple days. Got better in 8 weeks.
For the elbow pain - have you tried strengthening/mobility for your external rotators? I was working with an FRC trainer a couple of years ago, and had been experiencing that same pain. He had me do some PAILS & RAILS for my external rotators and they helped a lot. Good luck!
Have you tried a tens machine or red light therapy? Really works for my osteoarthritis, and in the past were the only things that really helped my lower back and neck issues. And really old school, but fill a big bowl or small plastic tub with really warm water and Epsom salt, and soak that elbow 2-3 times a day. I love to add a few drops of peppermint oil - nice and zingy, and great for the winter blahs! Good luck!
I always enjoy your vids they are well set out & timed that they are always at a pace that never gets boring & your content is always interesting & varied.ieg.. enjoyed your gardening vids from summer & your on holiday vids as well.
Recently i read about the benefits of castor oil,in particular applying a castor oil compress on aches & pains to absorb pain & heal the area, it even mentioned about applying it on the stomach area to help digestion,& also the liver area.& Even the abdomen for female cramps etc .i hope this info might help in some way.
Agreed. I love Derek and Crystal. I've been watching for years.
It took 18 months before my golfers elbow went away. Try Armaid, it’s a trigger point lever/roller therapy. It was recommended to me by climbers at the gym.
Derek, whenever my elbow starts feeling sore, I move to the rings for pullups. The ability to turn my hands to a neutral position always feels more comfortable.
Food looks awesome, I'm def trying the way you did oatmeal, and the last meal, I gotta find some of that Japanese barbeque sauce. 😋
As usual you lhave good recipes!! I have that Japanese sauce but have not used it yet. Now I know what to do with it. Thank you!!!
Mmmmm, love that breakfast! I also enjoy hot and cold temperatures in the same dish. Your pasta dish also looks so delicious! And your dinner! So good! You’re a wiz in the kitchen! Thanks for this video!
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy helped me a lot with elbow tendon pain and it is generally pretty reliable for that. not the cheapest thing, at least over here in austria but if you can, i would suggest that. and of course a bunch of physical therapy exersizes.
I love your high protein meal shares! Thank you. I just did a Costco haul (PNW) and was able to find the BBQ sauce, balsamic glaze and the no salt seasoning. Working on making this tofu bowl right now. :)
I know this was a year ago but I'd love to see a video on the workouts/exercises you and Crystal do at the gym. How you start from the beginning with pull-ups and how to progress, things like that. That would be an interesting video!
The Qi gong exercise "zen circles" helps people with your elbow issues, as I understand it!
I got accupuncture for tennis elbow. I wasn't sure it was working. After a while he ran an electric current through it and that dramatically improved it.
Medial epicondylitis is caused by the excessive force used to bend the wrist. Change your hand position when you pull, overextend the hand so you cannot bend the wrist anymore (or at least less). I was able to still do reps while the epicondylitis slowly went away.
Kalettes can be grown from seed if you have a garden.
Hi I am a PT. I looked at your dips and your tendonitis is most likely due muscle imbalances/weakness in your forearm and tricep.
1. Your left forearm is much smaller than your right
2. You are doing a lot of external rotation of your left shoulder to complete the movement.
Do some exercises that can isolate and assess your left tricep and do some forearm/wrist exercises to improve your left forearm.
Hope that is helpful
Love all these meal ideas!
Look into olive oil (topical?) and EVOO for inflammation treatment. Nigella sativa (black cumin seed) too.
I love your videos, especially your foodie ones! I’m off to find the barbecue sauce now. Thanks so much!
Gratitude for the helpful video. Wishing you a great day!😄
That push workout was insane!! Love the jump rope, too:) We use the same oats....love them. Love your meal ideas....I'm a 58 year old woman and am curious to test if I can eat what you eat in a day and not gain belly fat (not in the same amounts, of course!)
Always good to see a full day of eating with some workouts in there. 👍🏼
Subscriber for years! We love your videos! Thanks you!
Sorry to hear about your elbow. I tried a pressure technique that worked for me. I found it on RUclips. STOP Your Elbow Pain (Tennis Elbow) in 90 Seconds, Self Treatment - Bob & Brad. Good luck, and thanks for all your great videos.
So I had that problem with my elbow and to fix it wear a wrist brace at night. Sounds weird but stabilizing that muscle at the wrist helps it heal at the elbow. Fixed mine and a couple of friends who had the same issue. The time frame differs from person to person but just wear it until the problem goes away. Usually start to see improvement in a week or two.
Hi my favorite 💑. As always I enjoy spending the day with you. Thank you for all of your tips, sharing, and recipes. Much love 😊❤❤
Derek I had a similar problem with my elbow years ago. I had a small brace that was worn on the forearm that fixed my problem by putting just enough pressure on that tendon that comes from the elbow. Amazon.
Love your work, Derek. Legendary🤙
I made your regular oatmeal but put on top a banana air fried. Delicious!
