And yes those awful symptoms are menopause! It sucks. But can be helped with proper nutrition..

So sad! I just found an older video and was so happy. Im unclear how you all of a sudden stop caring about animal suffering. The common theme i feel is that raw vegans can get very disordered in eating. We all need balance. I'm sorry you guys couldn't find this without animals

Shane Sterling-Raw vegan rising, Gillian Berry, Lou Corona, FullyRawKristina.... they all look great, we can all learn from them!

Great video!!

Chemicals chemicals chemicals, you can tell from her face she is compromised hence why people fail veganism.

It looks like they say without animal food you cannot get enough nutrients. Why you cannot get enough nutrients? Because of an inflammation in the bowel and bad absorption. What nutrients can you have from eggs? Check the nutrients and mindfully take those from plants. All of the dietitian societies declare that VEGAN DIET HAS ALL THE NUTRIENTS WHAT WE NEED, just as WHO. Scientifically. Joint pain is inflammation that comes from the bowel. Chronic inflammation what cause all of those problems, and nuts and seeds and a high fat diet is a big part of it.

Very disappointing to hear. I would have never expected this of you two. So you were never truly vegan - just plant-based. The animals need us more than ever now! It's so easy to just forget their suffering (the brutal methods of killing, the forced impregnation of females, their kids being taken away 24h after birth, the mothers' cries, their babies killed, the baby pigs having their teeth torn out and their tails clipped...). So you both are supporting this suffering again. Well - up to your conscience 🤷‍♀️ It would rob be of my sleep knowing I'm knowingly hurting other sentient creatures, because my interests are above everyone elses!

For me Satiation came from starch and fats eaten together. the water rich foods like fruits and veggies aren’t going to do it, they digest too fast. I would be hungry and thinking about food and I know that feeling too well. It was a calorie and macronutrient thing more than a particular nutrient. As for hair loss I don’t know, I’ve been plant based for 8 yrs with inclusion of raw honey now, dont have hair loss but I’m still on the younger side so your story is interesting. I haven’t watched all your videos but I want to thank you for that video you made about the hot water treated fruits.

Ok this is so interesting. I have some honest questions... as I raw vegan I want to do what is best for my body, despite the dogma, so that's why I'm genuinely curious... (not saying you did it wrong, just want some clarity): 1. Were you taking any supplements, like (vegan) b12, iodine, vitamin D? 2. What percentage of your diet was comprised of fruit? Would you say you were following the Hippocrates method (more greens less fruit)? 3. One of my main blocks to ever eating animal products is understanding the importance of alkalinity in the human body, and how mucus forming, acid forming and congesting meat, dairy, and protein is. Is this something you've struggled with mentally?

I wish you would not go! You both are being real about ur journey and others may benefit... I do have a problem with people living a lie to just make a buck and not wanting to lose sponsorships but that us not the case with you two ladies... I also have started to eat fish and eggs... I am not interested in eating other non plant proteins... I also am 51 and just have low energy lately especially during that time of the month... Please don't go and share with us when you can...

Guys I’m watching this after years of experimenting with raw foods. Don’t write it off on terms of the raw fruits and veggies. Just don’t be vegan. Don’t go extreme the other way. You are joining pretty much 95 percent of people were in my view designed to be high raw with meat and eggs and dairy. And sone cooked whole carbs but still the koi Ed still the salads it ALL is good but in a 75 percent to 25 percent balance that’s what works best for me I’ve tried everythjng lol I’m same age as you guys 😊

It's not always about being "perfectly clean". To me, it's like with smoking, or drinking alcohol. My first raw vegan phase was 14 years ago. It lasted 3 months, and I felt great. GREAT. Then I ate a (vegan) pizza. A standard pizza. White flour base, vegan cheese, salt, vegan sausage. ...I immediately fell off the wagon, and for YEARS. Of course I can eat steamed (non-salted) veggies, or something like that. But the moment I eat something "normally" salty, or something that skyrockets my blood sugar, I lose any interest in healthy food. So... my "fear" has reasons. Our "standard" food is mostly psychotrope, and some - me for sure - are addicted to that kind of food.

Raw vegan is too extreme and too hard to maintain...😕

There's a big difference between field rodents, etc. being killed as a result of harvesting versus deliberately breeding animals to be slaughtered for food or hunting animals and killing them. Even in grain and corn silos, some rodents manage to get into those storage units. When the contents are silos are transferred into trucks, Those rodents are crushed. The USDA permits so many rodent parts per ton of these products. So, that is all part of harvesting food. Even in the old days before advanced modern farming machinery, a plow and oxen could cause the deaths of tiny rodents in the fields. Some things cannot be avoided. But comparing that with breeding for slaughtering or hunting is incorrect. The vast majority of the world lives in societies where organization and technology allow us to not have to depend on animal sources for food for our existence. Instead of holding on to the ways of the past when it may have been necessary for survival to consume animal products, we should embrace the freedom we now have to exist without subsistence on animal life.

True true true. Patience works 👍👍💜

I have noticed that raw vegans begin aging in the neck area first. This I believe is due to lack of the proper fats.

Also fyi, Ive gone a year without periods, then they came back for a year. Then I went 12 months, got it once, went 14 months, another. And I was high raw vegan. So again, this is normal honestly. Not everything is diet. My diet didnt change. It’s a part of menopause. Others have this happen too. You dont just wake up and they stop.

The symptoms you are describing, are the same symptoms that many post menopausal women are going through due to natural loss of hormones. Yet almost all of them are omnivorous! Loss of bone is mostly not getting enough calories, low hormones. I do feel creatine supplementation also helps, along with bHRT. Both are vegan fyi. But many women doing Dr Goldners raw protocol reverse osteoporosis, they also do strength training. But your issues are normal for many women, regardless of diet. The one thing you arent experiencing though that the omnivorous women have, joint pain, AI issues, cardiovascular issues, diabetes, etc.

Thank you 🙏🏾 ❤

I respect you both for sharing your story with us. Thank you, Eva, for chosing not to just disappear from KZbin, that's courageous of you. Best wishes to you both.

Thank you for not just disappearing without telling your story. So many I followed have just disappeared without a trace and it definitely raises red flags. I have been vegan for almost 20 years, was raw for one year and did MM for four years. The raw and MM years left me feeling very scared of food and while I felt better it wasn’t sustainable. I’m working now to find the right diet for myself and for my chronic skin disorder. It has been a hard journey. I have a son and have raised him mostly vegan but he’s always eaten fish and eggs. I still worry that I haven’t done enough and have been letting him eat more things - 1) because this is the diet I’ve chosen, not him and 2) because I don’t want him to have a fear of food. I am in perimenopause and have started to eat fish again - only fish that my husband has caught sustainably. And I’ve upped my beans and quinoa and healthy oils. I’ve gained weight! But that’s probably just fine since I’m comparing myself to those raw and MM years when I did lose my period. Thanks again. There is no one right way. We all have different bodies. But let’s all agree to continue to consider the well-being of animals in all of our decisions. If we could all just be conscious of what we eat and where it came from that would be an incredible improvement in this world.

Thank you both for being so incredibaly brave and telling your own personal truths. Being an omnivore, such as myself I still truly believe that eating as many whole, raw foods as possible combined with incorporating animal Proteins (for me at least) gives one the best possible chance for optimal health. In the end, we all have to honor our own bodies and find our own holistic path.

You also have to remember that when you add any animal products , you do feel the effects of the hormones contained in their flesh or milk or eggs …. Which in effect is similar to how you feel if tou still were making your own hormones. This could actually stimulate you back into having a period or better muscle growth. Now here is the question: is it your body now healthier or is it the actual hormones from the animal simply replacing what you are not making ? Also even a wild salmon when caught does secrete a huge amount of adrenaline …. So the energy you feel when eating it is a real feeling … it is partly the adrenaline in the fish. This saves your own adrenals from making it and it actually serves to keep you feeling the need to eat the salmon…. So really are the effects of animal products more hormones being replaced than anything else? Just something to consider…

Do you think the strength of our genetics we inherited has anything to do with how long someone can last on this diet before hitting health complications?

Woohoo Eva, this video has made my day! Welcome to the land of freedom that being an omnivore provides. I have never felt more free since breaking away from the vegan cult. Like you, I was in deep - sold vegan products, met the big vegan doctors and 'influencers', only allowed whole foods to pass my lips etc. My daughter and I spent time in Europe a few months back and being able to eat whatever foods I wanted was mind-blowing! Greek salads in Athens, gelato and pizza in Italy, cheese in Paris etc. What a joy it was to be able to experience local dishes and delicacies without trying to adhere to the vegan dogma. I still enjoy vegan foods but will never go back to eating only those. As for all these 'you didn't do it right' cultists, just know that the vast majority will be joining us at some point and will look back at their sanctimonious comments and cringe. For anyone debating with themselves whether they should leave, I encourage you to do so, you'll never look back! I'm sure your husband was delighted when you gave up your restrictive diet and could enjoy food adventures with him. Oh, I'm 58 by the way and was diagnosed with osteoporosis last year.

Eva I commend you on your decision. I have just been reading the comments. I watched you a few years back when I was doing raw vegan. And prior, I was vegan four 5 years. Your body knows best and I will say when I decided, which was a tough decision to consume animal products, my health changed so much for the better. I do think being vegan is a good cleanse, but the body needs certain vitamins and minerals that cannot come from a plant based diet, (I know others will defend, I used to listen to those same vegan doctors)especially during liver detoxing. Which I found out during my learning at the Nutritional Therapy Association. When I did a detox with Dr Morse, my body was ruined. My body has changed so much since eating animal products. Also you gotta think of our ancestors, or winter time. Aint no one wants to eat a smoothie or have a cold salad when it’s snowing outside. Even in Ayurveda, winter time Is the time to eat meat and put on weight to have insulation (Dr. doillard). It’s time for nourishing and warming foods. I’m rambling on, but thank you for waking up!!

Eating animals is not health and will never be. In time to come you two will wake up.

Check out the blood type diet its been very interesting after being high raw vegan for over 10 years im starting to put the missing pieces together on my healing/health journey i can see now why blood type is so important good luck on your jouney you are your own healer and all the answers and inside you ❤

Truly appreciate your honestly. Your message came at a very important time in my life. clearly needed to hear this, thank you so much.

1. Surprised that they felt entitled not to have any difficult experiences through peri menopause and menopause. I don't think being vegan alleviates that lovely ""right of passage". 2. Iodine - if anyone has trouble with losing hair, look into -deeply into iodine- which is always supplemented to animals feed as well. 3. Humans, historically, are skinny. I mention this because of their critique of the slim build of a few in the vegan medical community. 4. Did they get any new experiments administered to their arms in recent years that may inspired a bit of a body revolt? 5. Using food and foods to push ourselves past warning signals (tired, emotional, etc) will catch up to everyone, does not matter the foods you are eating...it's the disrespect you are showing your own body. Your nervous system is the message and doing more (but different) isn't likely where you'll find the answer. It's ok to slow down ladies.

There are so many things here that you've said that are showing that you didn't do this right at all, not eating until noon is terrible for women's hormones and causes what's called the progesterone steal. and will deeply impact your hormonal health, your bone health, and of course your hair because you're going into a fighter flight state and causing stress in the body. I own a global institute training practitioners, I have over 400 practitioners and I help thousands of people on that regenerate their health and continue to thrive for years and years. I myself have been vegan. I think it's really important that we don't try to convince other people that this lifestyle doesn't work because the work absolutely works when you do it, right. Not eating fruit steals, the carbon and the natural cellular energy from your body, and it doesn't allow for cleansing of the lymphatic system..

A power of five days a week, run and cycle and do hot yoga on the mostly raw and fully vegan diet

Osteopenia and osteoporosis is related to a parathyroid gland. Weakness, you may see this actually get worse on animals as the body will leach minerals to buffer acid.

The Hippocrates diet is highly limiting and it's not reflective of a true raw vegan lifestyle. I've hoped thousands of people reverse chronic disease through raw vegan and plant based living.. it's important that we don't use our power to convince, scare, or divert people away from this lifestyle of they enjoy it. Fruit is the foundation of human health, we are carbon based beings come out our fuel actually does not come from protein or fat so not being able to have fruit. It was your biggest problem in fueling your cells. I healed my entire body from three chronic autoimmune disease is on fruit.❤ eating life equals life

I am in the same situation as you 2 are. I will NEVER start eating animal products again. They DEFINITELY do not make me feel better or good in any way. The more cooked vegan I eat the worse I feel and the more raw vegan I eat the higher my wellbeing becomes. Mentally and physically. HIGH CARB HIGH FRUIT RAW VEGAN is the way to go.....because it is our species specific diet. Nature made us to be fruitarians. OF COURSE there were human civilizations that ate RAW! What an ignorant statement to make. That was before humans had fire. I do not believe they would drink the blood of a dead RAW animal. Humans are disgusted by blood and raw flesh. Do what you want....but do not bend reality because it suits you better.

Great video ladies. Everyone needs to chill and let people have their snacks. 🤩

Ladies, you both look fantastic and years younger than your actual ages. I don't think you would look so fine if you were eating a heavy dead animal food diet for all those years. Yes, we have bio-individuality & no diet is right for Everyone. However, it is a scientific fact that enzymes are destroyed by cooking & enzymes are finite. We only get a certain amount of them. A living food diet replaces, not destroys enzymes. Looking at some of the raw foodists I admire, Cara & Markus, Brian & Annamarie, they are in their 50s & 60s, they are thriving, not losing their hair or osteoporotic. And Eva, did your hair regrow?? I listened to most of the video & I didn't hear that result. As for getting your period back at 52 or 53, that sure wouldn't be something I'd want to happen. Better hair growth, yes, that would be fab. If you are feeling better eating salmon (if only our oceans weren't polluted) Eva, I think that is wonderful and I am glad for you. I wasn't familiar with Sherylea or her videos. Personally, I don't think one needs to eat meat to get protein. That, too, has been scientifically proven. I had a nutritionist tell me I needed to eat meat. I tried it for months & months. I did not feel better, my hair did not get thicker, I did not sleep better, my energy was not higher. I could not wait to get back on a living food plan. I am glad I tried the meat thing, just so I had a frame of reference.

Did you take the vaccines or the pill/ HRT? I work in health and people who have taken these things are getting sick.

Happy, healthy long-term vegan, had regular periods until age 59, I am now 64, strong hair, nails and bones, glad I stick to sound expert advice and not flip flop with the latest diet trends.

You say 'please be kind in the comments section', but your co-host wasn't being particularly kind to Dr McGregor in the video, calling him out personally by referring to him as being balding, having thick glasses and lacking masculinity. She said this as though diet was solely responsible for this. You also described other vegan doctors as looking effeminate. It's up to you to follow whatever diet you want, but I don't think you were showing kindness, making broad sweeping comments about vegans. You will not win much favour with vegans, like me, who have watched your videos over the years.

Veganism is a religion created by the Ashkenazi elite to make the human slaves malnourished and infertile. I’ve been there, I bought it, was vegan for 3 years and did so much fasting, ended up with brain fog and a deficiency in so many nutrients. We need meat, all humans do! It’s in our make up. If you look at all our ancestors they ate meat, the human body has not changed, believe it or not. Love this video ladies, thanks for sharing your story❤️

EXCUSES

Hi Eva , you interviewed me in the past I am still raw vegan but dealing with some of these challenges especially the muscle mass and losing weight my nails are always pealing and chipping I started adding tofu and maybe beans but I am not sure what way to go but I stumbled across this video I wish you all the best do what works for you your body tells you what you need.

Thanks for sharing and being transparent. Im curious what benefits you have noticed other than your cycle returning? Is your hair growning back in? Are you putting on more muscle/feeling less flabby? Etc. Thanks!

Big respect to you, Eva, and for having the grace to farewell us. As a fellow 50 plus yo woman who has been more years raw than not, you have to listen to the peri/menopausal body, so many trends are based on a singular human concept but our body needs are unique. Though I would not want to eat animal products I do understand your need to find answers and solutions. Women are dished up this hormonal challenge, no raw Vegan man or young woman will understand. Love to you my friend xxx

Excellent video ladies!! Thank you for sharing. 😊❤🙏

I’ve recently added eggs and good quality cheese so considered a vegetarian, I just don’t see myself eating cow, pork or chicken or fish

I’m now 49, most my friends have been older than me in my life so all of them have been through perimenopause & most through menopause & none of them were vegan and they shed lots of hair, fight the flab , loose bone density , get hot flashes , many had bouts of terrible bleeding during the shift . We talk about this stuff. It’s not from exclusively eating plants that leads to symptoms of the hormonal shift we all go through. If anything those that do have less symptoms of the shift, if any. Personally I’ve had 2 perimenopause symtoms & I resolved them once I lowered my acidic drinks intake (carbonated water & coffee ) & I started drinking hydrogen water . I’ve been plants exclusive since I was 14 yrs old. I’m truly happy you found something that’s working for you. We all need to be open & free to do what works for our bodies at any given time. ❤

i did the vegan/fruitarian/juicing thing for 2 yrs and it caused osteoporosis, tooth loss, hair loss and gut issues... tried the Dr Morse way and the mucusless diet healing system, both caused more issues and deterioration.. i switched to animal based about 6 months ago and I'm finally starting to head towards healing.. there are so many influencers that are total idiots and it's easy to fall into their cults.. we each have to figure out what works best for us.. bravo for listening to your body and sharing your honest experience!

Hi Eva, thank you for sharing your story with us. I am happy for you that you are following what works best for your body. Currently I'm 35 I've not eat meat or fish for 12 years, I've not eat dairy for 6 years, and I've been raw vegan for 5 years. I've added in pea and hemp protein powder because my body communicated that something was missing. And I take vitamin D, k2, b12, and more recently dha supplements. I was having hair issues but my protein powders have luckily corrected that for me. I feel happy overall being a raw vegan has helped me heal my mental health, anemia, and has helped me to connect so deeply to the divine and nature. My body is happy with what I'm doing now but I will always keep an open mind because I understand that our bodies needs can change. I love the wisdom and insights you have both shared 🙏🏻. Thank you both of you for being brave enough to share your story. We are all on our own unique journey and I wish you both all the best on yours 💕🌸🫶✨️☀️🙏🏻
