More Than I thought

[@NatureGirl58]

Justin your stressed. You need a break. Your whole family has been put through the wringer the last few months. I didn’t see any smiles from anyone. It takes time to get over trauma. Your cortisol levels are most likely though the roof which plays a big part in your pain levels. It’s time to be kind to your body and give it a break.. you all need that. ❤️

[@pammcbride9691]

I agree totally!!

Horses are dangerous even if you know how to handle them. Anticipate and mitigate risks at all times. Love watching your equestrian skills developing. ❤

[@jf1a8x1]

YES! I’m glad you said this, because it’s exactly what I wanted to comment!!

[@Rabbiton]

Don't hop on a horse unless you have 100 % respect from them with ground work, daily ground work prior to riding is a good practice.

[@luluz2830]

I just love the pause shot of the two of you looking at the creek. Next generation ❤ Jonahs definitely a trailblazing leader, not a follower.

Oh my God that was hilarious when Justin said I would’ve preferred you gotten an apple or an orange instead of a rice cake “treat” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@karenm5681]

Right😂My eyebrows went up when he called plain rice cakes “junk food.” Wish my kids would eat that kind of “junk food.” Hahahaha!

[@Nancelot13]

I sure hope you use those logs for lumber instead of chipping all of it. Jonah and Josiah could build some awesome stuff out of all those trees.

I feel the pain on all the downed tree mess…my property suffered a lot of downed trees and wash up debris too…it’s gonna takes us months if not years to get it all cleaned up! You guys are definitely making progress! Happy Day❤

[@luckyrobinshomestead]

It took us a good many years, but we just ended up going with artificial trees. We were in a house that finally was big enough to allow for two Christmas trees so at first we got a real one and then we had a really tall artificial white one that was pre-lit. We got a big, bushy one and not a cheap one where you could see through the branches and it was eight feet tall, which we couldn't have managed with a real tree. The ease of it, plus not having pine needles on the floor or trying to keep a tree alive, really sold us on it, and the next year we purchased a green one, and had both. Now that the kids are grown, we just alternate tree colors instead of putting up two.

[@Rabbiton]

Well done Lily Blaze did so well with the cart, you have a big future ahead of you! ❤

[@AZJH8374]

You can't afford to lose 10 lbs! Just stay on carnivore!! You look great, Justin. God bless you all and many prayers 📿 😇 🙏🏻 ✨️ ✝️

[@malina1239]

10 lbs, that’s like 4 kg , so only like a really big poo… that’s not a lot to lose😂 It’s normal to go up and down more that that for women going through their monthly cycle !

Inflammation ... when digesting food, Meat takes the longest to digesting. Not saying "don't eat it"... yet you can ADD turmeric (fresh or powder) And eat more blueberries, yogurt... to reduce inflammation, Justin.

[@gowest5145]

Ginger helps with inflammation too.

[@robbiedejonge8613]

Be very careful with even natural sugars/fruits. Sugar is a huge contributor to inflammation.

[@TGTree]

Yes.​@@robbiedejonge8613

[@Ziv-pm6ip]

Justin...eat for the inflammation issue....BUT you work way to hard to fast hard core and drop 10 in 20 days. If you were a couch potato that would be a different story. You have to refuel for energy output! Sugar/carbs are the inflammation binders...please keep your protein up. Lily - you wild girl with that head dunk! I love your spunk girl! :)

[@TGTree]

Yep... protein, fiber and fat is good solution in diet. Don't go keto or vegetarian, Justin ... And no heavy fast.... Oatmeal with blueberries, simple solution

[@janetjohnson998]

With a root ball tree you can’t put it out in the cold after Christmas. You can wait till spring to put it out or put it in the high tunnel till planting time.

[@eve2831]

When you get a ball tree be sure to unwrap the ball. The wrap it in plastic then cover the plastic with burlap to make it look good. The plastic has to come off for the tree to live.

[@lorithornhill649]

My dad took the bridle off my pony one time and he spooked and took off. It was a wild scary scene. No one got hurt but the garden was destroyed. Lily needs a new cart.

[@Candicelewis-w7o]

I agree with you on that, new cart for safety.

[@dawnjackson6741]

Add a teaspoon to a tablespoon of dissolved sugar to quart of water. Do it once a week to the Xmas tree

[@rubystarr-1]

Could you get a super large culvert for the stream and build a land bridge over it to get the cattle to the other side?

[@janetjohnson998]

Hey Justin, partly because of you I went carnivore to address my pain and inflammation 2 1/2 years ago. I finally had a consult with Dr Bight. I had been cheating off and on, not eating enough fat, and not taking enough Lugols Iodine. I was also fasting. To heal your thyroid and adrenals eat more fat not rendered. I have a stick a day of butter with my steaks. At your weight you will probably need a stick and a half equivalent. Go lion. Steaks butter salt iodine for two weeks. Small potions all day. Fat will heal you. Oh and take some enzymes for fat. Lypo Gold by enzymetica. Two weeks allows your gut biome to fat adapt from carbs. How long are you going to kid yourself that you can eat carbs?

[@michellehernandez774]

Granted I'm not a country girl, but wouldn't permament fenced pastures with an alley way for moving the animals to a new area be less work. than moving the wire fencing. Just seems work smarter not harder is my opinion.

[@Kphotog]

More than weight causes inflammation. As healthy as you guys eat tou may need to see Dr for labs.I have RA and Lupus and fasting for long periods can raise cortisol levels hence more inflammation. Just a thought

[@surferbob9419]

You are going to have a lot of wood chips. Mr. Brown burning the cut off Christmas tree oh Gideon. Apparently your tree is heartless. 😂

[@robertlivingston5175]

Get some MCT oil for the morning, and it will help you keep from feeling hungry.

[@bloodrainna]

I had a Christmas tree that did that an I had to cut the stalk of the tree about 1-2” off the bottom. I had several ppl golf the tree up so we could cut it. Sometimes the sap of the tree will run down so fast it covered the botton an it could draw water.

[@pattyhinman8443]

Justin, I haven’t said anything because I figured somebody else probably already has but, red meat in itself creates inflammation. And if you want to feel even better than try a plant-based diet for couple weeks or so and see how you feel even after that.

[@susanpaulson9010]

I said that a couple of times over the past couple of years or at least incorporating some veggies

[@robbiedejonge8613]

I went on the carnivore diet a couple of years back. I had gout, chronic inflammation, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and everything that comes along with all of that. I was taking seven different prescriptions I'm now down to one and that's for my thyroid which I can't do without because I no longer have a thyroid. Yes I no longer have gout and I went on a carnivore diet red meat and all and no more gout. Your comment about being a carnivore causing the inflammation is wrong. If you can't find the information which I can give you plenty of references to but if you can't find the information just use my personal experience as an example as to how being a carnivore does NOT make your gout/inflammation worse.

[@susanpaulson9010]

@ Everyone is different I’ve seen it both ways My concern is high meat diet increases colon cancer. Cruciferous vegetables are a must with this diet. Been in health care since 1977 and have seen a lot of different results.

[@edieboudreau9637]

Good call on the Chickshaw wheels temporary switch out. Blaze is coming along nicely. Good progress on the brush, too. I like my bacon to be from turkey. Lol. But I think you were looking for chewy versus crispy.

[@dinaaperazzo5699]

Wow! That's frustrating that the wheels don't fit. I remember the man at the harness shop telling you that they would, he looked at your cart and you asked him and then he sold you those wheels. Yes, you can't rely on even a professional, gotta do your own measurements. Dang!

[@sharper6577]

Justin. The fast makes your body digest your mineral reserves. You have depleted your minerals. Please eat well and often and all nutrients. Probiotics are also important. Skipping foods and meals doesn’t help you lose weight. Instead, it slows your metabolism. Make sure you eat lots of healthy fats to nourish your endocrine system.

[@CindyPaxton]

We did better mixing honey in hot water. Our tree loved that!

[@Flowers4Bees.Veggies4Me]

Happy Day 💚

[@singingone1]

Go total carnivore. Beef, bacon, butter and eggs. All you want and the 10 pounds will fall off and you will feel so much better. You won't be hungry and the inflammation will go away within days. Lots of info on KZbin

[@scclif]

Crispy exactly like that one.

[@Rabbiton]

I do 12 hour intermittent fasting each day no food 8pm to 8am and then I have a smoothie and eat solid food at lunch, it helps heaps with my inflammatory illness, also apple cider and gluten, dairy, sugar free.

[@johnstebe4808]

Can you use some of those logs to build a bridge over the creek? Talk to Boss Daddy about making a light weight bridge to handle animals and 4x4s

[@sharonknorr1106]

Horses are dangerous, Lily, they are much bigger and stronger than you are, even a pony like Blaze. Just about every horse person I know, even those with life-long experience, have ended up at the doctor's or emergency room at one time or another, with fairly serious injuries. Often, it is operator error, just letting your guard down and doing something stupid that seems easier or quicker at the time (for instance, I went into a stall with two horses in it to get one out and ended up getting knocked down and trampled). Certainly, an older, calmer type horse is not as likely to cause an issue, but horses are flight animals when they are startled or frightened and there is always the possibility of that happening. It's kind of like the boys and the power tools/heavy equipment - you can't ever forget that there is the possibility of grave harm if you are not careful and paying attention to what you are doing. I do think you will have a lot of fun with the cart once Blaze gets used to it again - that is really what he was bred for. And riding bareback is really good for balance and it is why those who grow up on farms with horses often have an early leg up on those who just take lessons on other's horses - they almost always ride bareback a lot, so have that natural feel for how a horse moves.

[@GetToTheFarm]

aye, i have withheld my story with horse injury but if you want to know I do have a get to know me vid on my channel from when I first started Youtubing.... due to a really bad cart wreck... was in hospital for most of a year, had to learn to walk again and took me 6 years to walk "normal" - tho my leg is atleast 1/2 shorter and i have a limp

[@Hisoga]

This, very important. Horses are dangerous. Even to people who know how to care for them perfectly fine. it is a several ton prey animal. A lot of accidents with horses happen, exactly like that, on accident. The horses don't mean to be malicious but they are big and heavy and we are not. A healthy dose of respect and even a bit of fear go a good way when dealing with horses, because the moment you forget how dangerous they can be, like Sharon said, is the moment something can go wrong.

[@JesusSavedMe-Alizabeth4truth]

My daughter ended up with a depressed skull fracture and I recently just lost my toe because I was stupid and barefoot and horse stepped on it twisted & there it went…. Three days in the hospital and surgery….

[@JesusSavedMe-Alizabeth4truth]

@ I’m concerned that they’re gonna create a problem with that cart! those wheels. I didn’t like the way that they were.. one pops off & That horse will never trust again they’ll injure the horse and the person in the cart.!! They’ll end up with a runaway.. you don’t Jerry rig wheels.. this is how my daughter ended up with a depressed skull fracture. She wasn’t riding she was watching and the horse bolted while learning to drive and drag!! It was still hooked up too! The horse bolted through a 9 foot gate ran through a garden. I grabbed my daughter like a sack of potatoes and went down, horse, jumped over us and clips with the back foot! Because the horse was afraid, and we were in an enclosed confined area that the horse literally bolted through

[@Hisoga]

@@JesusSavedMe-Alizabeth4truth Exactly. Horses aren't dangerous because they are malicious. They are just, giant prey animals that spook and don't know their own weight and size half the time. The danger isn't in their temperament, it's in their size and their flighty nature. I've seen a horse truly panic once and when it went, it went. if you were in front of it, you would have not had a good day. and that horse was sweet as anything, just got spooked really badly. In short, we aren't saying Lily should be terrified of her horses. But, a bit of fear in the knowledge of the size and weight of an animal helps you stay safe.

[@MrDAHSIN]

Crispy, or fatty! Love it both ways...crispy for bacon-n-eggs, fatty for BLT's 😋

Hi Justin. I am a new subscriber of yours and am absolutely loving your videos. I really feel you about your back as I am a long term spinal patient. My back first went fully on me when I was 13 and I'm now 42. I have gathered a lot of info over the years that I would like to share with you in case it would help. I'm not promoting anything, I'm just a fellow owie warrior who battled through serious issues so I could live my dream life and train and work my gundogs. Is there a way I can contact you to tell you all the ideas I have to help? As it will be too much on here to write. I'm fully legit and not wanting anything other than to pass on nearly 3 decades worth of info. You and your amazing wife has the most amazing and inspiring children. What an incredible job you have done in raising the next generation of possible regenative farmers/homesteaders 💜

[@GrannyBee-w8k]

Justin, have you considered since many of the supplements you take may be plant based that it might be contributing to your inflammation? Consider a 30 day fast from all supplements and see if it makes a difference. I bet even 2 weeks without supplements (except d3 +k2 and magnesium) would make a difference. If you are eating a carnivore diet and take plant based supplements it can cancel out the benefits of carnivore. Something to consider.

Good morning Justin. I recently watched a video on fasting and it was about fasting not being as beneficial as we have been taught. Mainly because, it raises our cortisol levels and higher cortisol causes more inflammation. That is my understanding. Maybe look into this and see if it's not really helping you out that much, Hope it all works out. I have a lot of inflammation myself and I believe any sort of stress is what is causing it, not just my diet. Blessings to your family.

[@janetjohnson998]
