I know, doesn't it! Just love him and Crystal. 🥦 🥕 🍎 🍊 🍃

[@mayachaoui814]

YOU DID IT! My husband was in the same boat about 9 years ago, and when he shaved his head, it brought about a new wave of confidence. He was beautiful with hair, but he’s even more beautiful now (because of the *CONFIDENCE*!)

[@pashykevich]

8 years vegan and weightlifter here. Your channel helped me A LOT with the journey. Just wanted to say Thank you and I love your new style 💪🌱✌

[@Raddiebaddie]

That’s awesome keep it up!!

[@debsnowden4310]

Your laughter while picking your carrots totally cracked me up! Your cucumbers redeemed yourself as a gardener ! 😂 FANTASTIC VIDEO, AS USUAL!!!

[@Simnettnutrition]

haha thank you!

[@debsnowden4310]

Just made my dinner as you did…Dr Praeger burger patties, with peppers, mushrooms, onions and baby spinach, served it over rice. Yum yum. Thanks for the dinner idea!!

[@Shaver_]

Just commenting to say thank you! I’ve been vegan for a little over a year now and your channel has helped me so much with recipes, information, and just entertainment! Keep up the great work brother!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thank you so much!!

[@Elizerinc]

The head totally suits you! 👍to Crystal for giving you the confidence.

[@alosplanetas]

I love your content! So many fitness influencers putting out unhealthy/dangerous content but you always do your best to provide good recommendations. It's much appreciated!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks! I try my best to show what a healthy balanced lifestyle looks like, even if it might be redundant at times, that’s how we build healthy habits!

[@jonhillman871]

derek and chrystal are usually smiling. these videos always make me feel cheerful along with them.

[@laurawinger4339]

There's definitely something about bald Derek that's giving me some kind of vibe. And don't worry, in a good way. Like, you're still the same Derek with all the energy and positivity that we all love. But also like you somehow unlocked a new level. I need to figure out what my version of you shaving your head is because it's a cool evolution.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks so much, I feel more free now with it gone, if that makes sense, so maybe that is what you picked up on :D

[@laurawinger4339]

@@Simnettnutrition that's really just so fantastic that you got that feeling just from shaving your head. Letting go. I like it. And that could definitely be what's coming across. I love it. And I'm inspired to figure out what I could let go for a little more freedom myself.

[@deniserikard147]

I love u and Crystal but Ollie is the star of the show 😊 great video as usual. You always give me new meal ideas. Thanks for being real on camera. You guys are so relatable.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@maetaylor5677]

My close friend texted me today and hes having heart bypass surgery.. My mom just had heart surgery last year for a artery. But luckily my mom she made some pretty drastic lifestyle changes and has lost weight she's eating more vegetables, she goes to farmer market now... advice I found on your videos I tell to my mom and I have been truly so touched to see her turn her life around. I just want to say Ive been watching your videos for years now and what you are putting out into the world .. is simply so powerful. You and crystal you guys making a huge difference . Thankyou for doing what you do

[@Simnettnutrition]

I hope your friend does okay and has a good recovery. It can be hard to make healthy choices, but sometimes big surgeries are wake up calls and I'm glad to hear your mom is doing so well. That's awesome, and I am happy to be here on this journey with all of you :D

[@plants4Ever17]

Derek- LOVE your enthusiasm for life. Appreciate your strategies to combat seasonal allergies, tour of your garden and quick, easy and delicious food choices. All cameos of Crystal.....priceless. Thank you for this inspiring channel.

[@brittanymcmullen4309]

Beautiful bowl & beautifully bald! The confidence you & Crystal give each other is 🔥 Thanks for the fun video!

[@lindamorgan3082]

Does Crystal get to shave her hair for convenience to?

[@1901yvonne]

Crystal is a lucky lady to have you prep and cook for her. Beautiful bowl indeed.

[@hypnosisforhappiness]

I love your new look, Derek, it really sets off your eyes, your eyes are bigger and bluer than ever! Thanks to you and Crystal for all the work you do on your channel, I love the WFPB lifestyle and all your content, so practical and fun!

[@dancingottergirl]

Pulling the carrots out, hearing you guys laugh brought a smile to my face. Your garden looks great what a bounty!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Haha thank you

[@obsidiantain]

Looking SHARP! Also, I loved your travel vids but it’s SO good to see you back in the VI BC kitchen!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thank you! We love to travel but happy to be home now. Trying to think of our next adventure.. 😎

[@ginal2643]

We love nettle tea! Found out about it when my husband was getting gout. We've since gone plant based and he's had no gout flares since but we still drink the nettle. Adding a squeeze of lemon or lime really makes it delicious. Brightens it up!

[@agathiston3]

You finally shaved it off, looking good ! 👊🏻👌🏻✨

[@Simnettnutrition]

Yes! Thank you!

[@terrielburrell5545]

You're a sweetheart! If my partner brought me a salad like that, I would be over the moon!!!

[@jessie12string48]

I was sooooo expecting the world's largest 🥕 on that first pull. So funny!

[@ivp2708]

You are the most loveable, happy go lucky guy, and I just love watching your videos. You always cheer me up. The hair/no hair really suits you... Keep up the positive energy! We need more guys like you for sure, as there aren't enough of you around 😂 ❤

[@Unasuna]

I laughed so hard at the thumbnail bc I already knew you Shaved your head lol 😆 The new look really suits you!

[@markymarkd-z1h]

You can also put the dumplings in a pan with a bit of oil and then a good inch of water. Cover it and by the time it's done the dumplings should have steamed first and fried on the base 2nd. If you haven't tried it I totally recommend

[@HealthHappyLife]

The video is really great! I love how Derek uses fresh ingredients from the garden to create dishes that are both beautiful and nutritious. It sounds simple but so delicious! I definitely want to try making a few of those recipes!

[@jimmythepagina7989]

Looking great!!! Love the new look :)

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thank you!

[@cheryltotty804]

Your haircut looks great! Goof for Crystal for encouraging you to do it. Of course, having a happy face is the best look of all, and you have that in spades. Thanks for another great video!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thank you so much :D

[@sherylgreenberg3540]

Your bright blue eyes just pop out even more without the distraction of hair. It is a great look.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thank you!

[@ursulamelia7136]

P.S. your home-grown vegetables are awesome and the dinner bowl looked absolutely out of this world. You are a cookery wizard!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

[@Simnettnutrition]

Wow, thank you 😊

[@melrox8809]

I've been going to the farmers markets too. I also got nettle tea there too. I love fresh fruit and veggies 😋

[@4007fairview]

Thank you so much for ALL that you share with us! Little side note - I learned that when adding garlic to a recipe in the Vitamix, I drop the whole clove in, I don't even remove the paper skin. Time saver and it works out great! Thanks again! Debbie in WA Ü

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks for the tip and for watching the video 😁

[@jonmoore4588]

My hairline has receded too. From the other side, rather than the front (like a monk 😂). I've been putting off shaving it all off for years. You might just have inspired me to actually do it. Thanks (from England - glad you enjoyed our Vegan Fest btw)

[@Simnettnutrition]

Go for it! You won’t regret it, I wish I did it sooner

[@jonmoore4588]

@@Simnettnutrition you were right. It all came off today. The word I'm looking for is liberating. Feels great 👍

That last bowl is epic and I love how it’s assembled from different things you had available to you.

You may already be aware, but neti pots are really good for allergies. When I started using one a few weeks back, the allergy symptoms have been way easier to deal with.

Hi Derek I hope you see this but wanted to let you guys know about Raos pasta sauce. The Marinara may not be Vegan. In his recipe he used fat back for flavoring. He may have changed it for his jar Marinara but just double check. Thank you for everything you do...I love you guys. You're a joy!

[@ericsouthard]

You can use the carrot greens to make pesto, it's sooo good

[@michaelham2366]

Great video as usual. I have found that radish greens - especially really fresh and large greens, like those I saw on the radishes from your garden - are terrific when cooked: a little oil, salt, and perhaps chopped scallions, and cook them, then a spray of vinegar and stir them to finish them in the hot pan. Give them a try.

[@jeini2856]

You're a beautiful specimen inside and out, Derek! Keep up the great content! - kind regards from Norway!

[@sam.alva.]

I was surprised but yes you look amazing with the shaved head! I’m sure it feels so freeing. Thanks for the video and delightful energy Derek!

12:30 I have heard that the liver makes all the protein that we need, but so many people are always pushing the virtues of protein in foods. It seems like we have been marketed to, but we don't need it.

Lemon cukes have been my favorite since my mom grew them. I plant them every year. I’m up to my eyeballs in yellow crookneck squash and the tomatoes vines are loaded but not ripe yet. I grew Cherokee purples this year. They make the best tomato sandwiches.

Derek, if you struggle with allergies, check your house for mould and a good Hepa filter because humidity triggers spores flying around. I get exactly the same thing. Also quercitin powder is pretty good. Good luck!

[@pamwalmsley1865]

Love your videos! Everything I’ve ever made from you has been a hit!❤

Can you please make a video on the healthiest dried fruits like a tier list? From healthiest to least healthiest dried fruits?

[@mjgeib]

WOW! Quite the change! Looks great!!

[@ultmat3]

Derek, I'm curious about the impact of blending fruits and greens on their fiber content. It is known that the blending process break down the fiber to a point where it reduces its effectiveness in slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates and simple sugars, potentially diminishing the health benefits associated with consuming whole fruits and vegetables. What are you thoughts on the nutritional value and the intended benefits of a high-fiber diet that most vegans have? Thank you!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Blending is not the best for fiber as it breaks everything up, but I don't struggle with blood sugar issues, so I don't worry about it.

[@justlearned6882]

So glad you're still making videos and still so relatable.

[@Simnettnutrition]

LOL the curly hair on the thumb nail got me, LOL! You look great bald, it does suit you. That bowl at the end should be in restaurants!

Forever jealous of the gorgeous area you live in. And maaaan I’m telling you, you look great!! Completely different context 😅 but that is so relatable to me - I did “the big chop” during the pandemic and afterwards I had that same feeling of confidence (and freedom oddly enough?) It’s interesting how much meaning and identity is tied to our hair. Side note, why the carrots so disrespectful?! 😂 they have ONE job! Just grow! Lol
