How I Lost 10 lbs and Fixed my High Blood Pressure in 30 Days 

Apple Cider Vinegar 3 spoons per day mixed to the water, Vitamin D3, K2, Nattokinase, no sugars or carbs almost at all. I have lost 20kg (106kg--> 86kg, male 185cm). Next month I have been 1 year totally sober. This is the longest time during my whole life that my weight has stayed within 1kg difference the whole year. I do 20-24h fasting 1-2 times per week and it is excellent for my body and mind. What made me to do it and keep it up? Terminal cancer. Still here, nothing visible with contrast agent anymore. So, people, please pay attention for these things!

I quit sugars, and excessive carbs for three months. The changes were amazing, and not just the weight loss.

Congratulations Shawn! Ive been following you for several years and what you do is truly an inspiration! I'm 56, Blood pressure 2 years ago was also in the 140's over low 90's while on 40 mg of Lisinopril. I started using cayenne pepper powder, 8 oz of water, and a tablespoon of raw unfiltered unpasturized local honey a year and a half ago religiously everyday, started more of a carnivore diet, and increased my activity level as much as I could due to severe disc issues but today im 12 days, 100% off my BP meds, cholesterol meds, and over the last 4 months have lost 42 lbs. My resting BP is averaging 111/68 and active BP is averaging 121/74. I've been telling my Dr for two years that I will get off of all my meds because im not feeding the big pharma family anymore. I've taken my health into my own hands with diet, being more active as well as more natural ways to fix health rather than the big pharma band-aid that's thrown at us. Our food system is broken. Getting back to whole foods, healthy choices, and good clean living has been clouded over for so long but many are finally waking up and seeing the big picture and how to fix it ourselves. Great Job shawn!

I was 423 lbs 10 years ago, now 241 as of today. I am unable to walk much but I do exercise from my chair. I limit my calories to 1500 (I am now 77 years young). You inspired me to start this journey and to be more active. 40 more pounds and I will have my knees made like new! lol…… my husband and I will be married 55 years on April 19…… longer than you have been on earth!

Without our health we have nothing. Home grown, being self sufficient and learning new things will change lives for the better. And stop eating processed food. No fast food!

4th week all in on Carnivore. Inflammation is coming way down. Brain fog is lifting. Depression is getting better. I am getting more and more energy.

Happy birthday early! My blood pressure was up big time every day ! Not on medication. So I tried carnivore diet and my blood pressure was pressure dropped. Went off the diet by 3 days and blood pressure went back up. So now I am back on the carnivore! No sugar at all! God bless!

It’s always a good thing when individuals discover which lifestyle benefits them the best. Glad that you found yours. I’m the opposite lifestyle; plant-based diet and I’m a swimmer. My blood pressure, weight and AC1 dropped to the point where my doctor took me off diabetes meds. Thanks for sharing your journey and hopefully folks will benefit from your info too.

I'm 65 years old. I have been on carnivore life style for over a year now. I haven't been in better shape since I was 18.I rest my case. Shawn Good luck with your new life style. BTW I'm not taking any medications.

i am 57 (58 next month) this time last year i could hardly turn my head do to neck issues, also had major knee pain and constant shoulder pain. I stopped drinking soda, all seed oils, anything processed and also added collagen to my diet. I felt a big difference in just a few weeks. I later an AG1 like product (i also tried AG1) and by Dec i was virtually pain free. unbelievable difference. We bought a little bread maker (have you read the ingredients label of bread lately?) and haven't eaten store-bought bread/buns since December. Last month I started to follow more of a carnivore diet and dropped 20lbs. At soon-to-be 58, this is truly the best i have felt in a decade if not longer. The best thing anyone can do is drop the soda/processed drinks and anything with seed oils in them. The soda was hard but it made a huge difference.

My husband and I sold his house right outside of Columbus, OH last May, and moved to the mountains of South Carolina. We are completely out of debt, except for financing a small shed for his tools, lawn mowers, and such. This is my year of cleansing my diet/body. I am buying 1/2 a steer that is completely grass fed and NO hormones. We only eat fresh eggs and raw milk, buttermilk, and i will be learning how to make fresh butter soon. I have planted the largest garden I've ever had in my life as well. I am on a medication that i am going to slowly wein myself from to see if i even need it any longer. It's for migraine headaches. I quit smoking 6 months ago after smoking for 40 years. I haven't lost any weight yet, but my blood pressure is so much better. All the changes i have made have already had a positive impact on my body. I am breathing better, feeling better, and thinking a little clearer as well. A lot of it i attribute to your channel, and a few others that recommend not just self sustainability, but cleaner living overall. Thank you, Shawn, for all of the excellent advice and examples you provide for us every time you put out a video.

Just goes to show no matter how hard you work or how much fresh food, air, and water you get you still fall apart. After about 50 anything can happen and I would have been fine with dying at that point, but now am 63 and no doctors or meds so I'll go till I drop. Friends of mine are carrying around bags of pills and they still have problems. Drugs just cover up the problems and most of the time fix nothing.

This is amazing. My husband and I have been working on getting him off blood pressure. We moved to North Idaho ( an hour from the Canadian border) and built a greenhouse 4 years ago after buying our 5 acre property. Created an outdoor garden also. We buy very little processed food and are aiming for zero. We’ve watched you when we were still living in Oregon. We don’t trust Big Pharma so thank you for pointing us in this direction.We also started grounding.

Fully carnivore 2 years now and never felt better. My list of health issues was miles long and everything is resolved. Struggling with oxalate dumping from time to time but that’s getting slowly better as well👍 Been listening to Ken Berry, Anthony Chaffee, Paul Mason, Sally Northon amongst others👍 My wife and my son has also gone full Carnivore and are heving great success with massive health benefits. Way to go🥩🤗

I also started taking AG1 along with Vitamin D3 & K2 within the last year along with cutting out alcohol and have never felt better! Glad it is working for you as well.

Glad to hear you feeling better Shawn! I started taking care of my health at 19 years old due to being extremely unhappy about my health both mentally and physically and it is such a contrast in daily life when you find what works for you. Nice to hear that you have found your way and as always thanks for being an inspiration, cant wait for the day i build my own cabin. Meanwhile your videos keep me dreaming and im thankful for that

I was 250 in mid- December 2023 and vowed to loose 50 lbs. been following a clean keto, low card diet with 6/18 intermittent fasting and have dropped 30 lbs. Feel better with much more energy. Cut out wine and after dinner snacking, and no sugar! Lots of salads, free range organic eggs, grass fed and grass finished beef, wild caught seafood. Another 20 lbs to go, but I’m on the way, with lots of exercise and weight training. Highly recommend another RU-vidr, Dr. Eric Berg. Lots of knowledge!

73 years now, went carnivore 1 year ago. Blood pressure normal, A1C now 5 down from 8,lost almost 60 lbs and 7 inches around middle. No more knee pain, walk lots more now. Feel grate..

Well, I turned 71 this past January & not on any medications & not vaxxed. I do my best to eat healthy & I do take vitamins. I don't smoke nor drink anything alcoholic but I drink water, coffee, tea & juice. I have a son who will be 46 yrs old in October & a son who just turned 44 yrs old in March. I haven't seen them since 2012 because I don't have a vehicle & live near Elliot Lake. With rent ridiculously over priced ALL OVER CANADA, it's impossible to move due to the high costs so I'm where I am. I've looked. People are charging $1000 to $2000 a month for a bedroom not an apartment. Shawn - consider yourself having been blessed to be where you are & able to do the things you do. I'm excited to be able to see all the projects you get to do this year now that the nicer weather is somewhat here. I'm still looking for a new place to move but it has to be within my budget not someone else's. Staying healthy is one of the most important things you can do - without it you can do nothing. STAY WELL & enjoy the beautiful weather to come😊 Canadian life - gotta love it. 🇨🇦⭐️ Present Canadian government - 🤮 😊

Happy Birthday Shawn, glad to hear you are off BP meds and your new diet is having a positive impact. I am 67 and while my BP is controlled and I haven't taken meds, I need to work on building my strength. My wife and I avoid processed foods and seed oils and we grow much of our vegetables and fruit.

Ginger is an anti-inflammatory for joints. BP standards have been altered to increase amount of population on meds. Losing weight and limiting processed foods definitely help. Love the videos !!!

Happy early birthday to you. I had surgery on my heart back in February, and they found I had 4 more valve in my heart that it didn't need. It was scary at times, and my heart rate would skip a beat and take off, it gotten as high as 280 over 80 or 147 over 77. I had it. Just stop beating this happened to me in January a mile off the road in a wood getting logs with small 🚜 WD Allis Chalmer and 180 Allis Chalmer. My brother took me to the hospital. My heart stopped beating when I down a tree. I beat on my chest to get it back 180 over 80 by the time I got to the hospital. My heart rate was over 200, and I had never seen so many wires and pads ready to zap my heart .They shot my heart with adrenaline, which caused my heart to level out . I thank the nurses and doctors who saved me that day, and most I thank God for being there.

I lost 35 lbs since last June. Still working on straightening out a few things. I am off to a great start!

I've been ketovore for 5 years and it has changed my life. No more aches and pains, I'm 62, and my blood work is absolutely perfect! Stay as low carb as you can! Carbs are inflammatory.

I decided enough is enough before its to late to do something about my health. Ill keep it short. I went the carnivore way, cold turkey. No sugars, no carbs and no processed meats. It was tough the first week or two due to sugar withdrawals. Im six weeks into it and have lost 25 pounds. It amazes me how good I feel too. No joint issues, lower BP and hoping to quit taking those meds, I'm more alert, I sleep better, more motivation, more energy, mental clarity etc. I had cancer back in 2017 and your videos got me through my treatment days. All is good now. I just need to rid my body of all that bad stuff that tends create those situations. Im interested in seeing the progress that you and your family accomplish with the new lifestyle. Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Shawn!🎉 Health is our most precious state of being, worth educating for and working on. Our bodies can make amazing recoveries. Keep going...as i know you will. 👍🇨🇦😎💫

Congrats Shawn on the weight loss and getting off those meds. I need to get serious and get myself back into good health. I am a 56 year old woman and feel like I am 80. I did lose my husband to cancer 10 months ago and that has taken a toll on my health. Mentally I am feeling better about his loss, just got to start focusing on my physical health now.

Surprised at the chicken coup announcement. You've mentioned previously on the feed/support issues for the birds. I'm guessing things have changed. Glad you're doing better health-wise.

Hi Shawn, I have been taking AG1 for 3 months now and it has made a huge difference in my gut health and overall health. The stuff really works. I’m 65 and feel 30 years younger. I’ve always been in good health but this product has made a noticeable difference especially for my gut which has caused me problems my whole life. I wish you and your family well. Great videos. I’ve been watching your videos for about 8 years now.

Congrats on being fully self-sufficient. It's a real feat these days 👏👏👏

My husband and I started intermittent fasting last June. My husband was able to stop his blood pressure medication after 1 month after taking it for 25 years! He is 67 and I'm 59. It also reduced my husband's joint pain and inflammation. My allergies have disappeared and my plantar fascitis was gone within 2 weeks. My mental clarity sharpened and my sleep improved. My husband lost 25 lbs and I lost 15lbs effortlessly! The 2 most informative books we read were "The obesity code" by Dr. Jason Fung and "Fast, Feast, Repeat" by Gin Stevens. It has changed our lives and we haven;t once felt deprived as it is "time restricted eating" and not "restricted eating." As an extra benefit, your food preps will last longer as well!

Outstanding video thank you so much Shawn. My wife and I have been starting our own journey such as you and your wife and have come to the same conclusions as you have on health. We have lost 30 pounds and working on our vitamins and minerals daily consumption. I am a 57 male here in Ottawa Ontario and have high blood pressure trying to get off of the pills. When you started talking it all just hit home for me calling my wife in to watch it wilth me. I have bad gout for years usually in the spring and just want to be healthy now. I started watching your self reliance channel as something was drawing me towards you for some reason and after watching this it all makes sense. Thank you for putting yourself out there it has really inspired my wife and I to go even further and try out the AG1 products and follow you along. Really inspiring me to get back to who I am

Shawn, great to know you recalibrated your wellness and are hooking your family up with some goodness. 👊🏼

To quote Hank, I'll never get out of this world alive. An understatement if there ever was one. I think it is good to be careful and avoid suffering.

Hey Shawn, it's great that you are doing well health wise, but using a commercially produced supplement to get there is not very self reliant. Do you have a 10 year supply of AG1 in your pantry? Finding a more natural solution that you can produce on your land would be better. And at $80 a month, most people are not going to consider this as an option.

Congrats on the improved health. It's not always easy to change your diet to something healthier, but it's more than worth it in the long run.

Happy Birthday!!! Thank you for all your videos! My husband & I have been watching your videos for over 4 yrs (probably longer) We’re on 24 acres & we’ve been on a no processed food diet for 5 yrs. I’m 61 & he’s 70. No one believes our ages. I grow all our own fruits & veggies. We buy/trade grass fed & finished beef from a neighboring farm as well as apples, blueberries, strawberries from neighboring farms. It’s wonderful. About 3 months ago I began Intermittent fasting & now on 1 meal a day. Dropped 15 lbs (10 more to go) I have never felt better. We take vitamins & also do parasite purge every quarter. I ordered the AG1 to fill any gaps. We also have a good stash of certain meds on hand (ones that I’m sure this platform will censure) that were highly effective during the pandemic. I highly recommend everyone stock up. Thank you again for all you do!!!

I have situational high blood pressure so I really have to limit my stressors and control my anger. I have found that deep breathing throughout the day really helps too. You would think living out in the wilderness would help but somehow life can catch up with you. Best of luck Shawn it’s hard when a person has a passion and zest for life like you do. 🌲🦌🦅

Thanks for sharing, I've battled gout for over a year. I'm drinking cranberry and cherry juice and that seems to help. I've also stopped jogging because of the overall wear and tear on my feet and joints. I've had to eliminate almost all meat, I have been keto and carnivore for years. I've added back in more weight lifting, but not heavy weights like in my 20's and 30's. I know a lot of people get great help from elimination diets, but be careful with the extremes, I wish I would have been more balanced.

I guess I needed to watch your video today to get myself back into gear. 2 years ago I had health issues. With doing the Cronometer tracking my Micro nutrients and food in take I lost 20 pounds it was great. But I took it for granted and got lazy again. My husband and I doing a lot of camping, canoeing and fishing ourselves. So your video gave me a kick in the butt to get myself back on the health plan like before. So Thanks Shawn for posting this video about your health. I appreciate it. Happy Healthy Gardening this year. Another one of our favorite things to do is garden.

My bp was also high 150-90. Six weeks ago I quit sugar, alcohol, processed carbs, night shades, and started intermittent fasting. My bp dropped within1 week to 120/70 and now is lower even as low as 96/66. I think sugar is the number one killer.

That is a hell of an accomplishment. Feels good to get out there on your land and do stuff like that for sure.

Happy Birthday Shawn!🎉 The best health care system is staying out of the system. I have so enjoyed your self reliance journey over the years. You’re truly an inspiration. Keep it up my brotha and stay healthy! 🙏

There's soooo many people on RU-vid loving AG1, and so many people bashing it, it's hard to know if it's worth trying.

Breathing and singing . Blood pressure is individual, and it is changing during the day and night. In your situations, everything what do not need to be kept in he fridge is the best. There is so many medicinal plants and also microgreens you can grow with easy at your cabin. Very happy to know you are coming back like it used to be. Very good news.

I switched to a carnivore diet 6 months ago and it changed my life. Everything is so much better. Haven't felt this good in years.

I turned 57 about a month ago and in all that time I have been fortunate. I think I have taken antibiotics twice in my life when I caught a bad flu but other than that I have been basically drug free. I take no medications, rarely get headaches, or other issues that others my age seem to have all the time. I usually prefer to heal myself by changing my diet, sleep, and exercise. Every now and again I slip and have a few too many drinks with friends or stop regular exercise and my body lets me know and I have to get myself back on track. I do not have a perfect diet, not even close, and I could stand to lose a few pounds, but for the most part I try and take care of myself and I listen to my body and let it guide me.

Glad to hear your diet and lifestyle changes have been a success for your health, looking good and healthy! I feel you on the stubborn belly fat, I'm 26 rn and still haven't gotten rid of it, despite being active and pretty skinny for most of my life its always been there. I don't really put too much thought into my diet though if I'm being honest so that's probably my issue, I think its time to change that lol. Also an early Happy Birthday to you Shawn! Remember it’s not 54 years old, it’s 54 years young 😎👍

I hear you Shawn. 51 years old here and I’m Two days into AG1 hoping for good supplemental infusions of what vitamins and minerals I’m missing in my diet! 💪

Inflammation is literally the body telling you “something is wrong, fix it now!”. Listen to it and be wary of advice from central power such as government or the industrial/pharmaceutical complex. The rabbit hole goes deep.

Awesome news Shawn. Congrats.

Had a TIA scare back on Dec. 26th. Cut out all junk. No alcohol, soda, added sugar. Nothing out if bag or box. No vitamins just good lean meats and all organic fruits and vegetables. I average 1 gallon of water on most days. Walk an average of 1.5 miles most days, down 32 pounds as of yesterday. BP at the doctors office Friday was 119/79. I'm 55 years old and haven't felt this good in years. Keep it up Shawn. Kind of sounds like Gary Brecka influenced diet.

Love your videos! What about coffee? Won’t give that up. It becomes a matter of what you’re willing to live without and sustainable. Some eating makes life enjoyable. ❤

I just signed up and ordered AG1 through you. Folks say it taste good, but not everyone's taste is like mine. Of all the websites I watch who promotes AG1, you're the first one that really took time to tie it to diet and health properties. Thanks

Thank you so much for sharing your life and health info with us. Ive watched your videos on both channels since you started. Although I am a 68 year old woman who will not be building any log homes, Ive alwats dreamed my whole life about living in a log home ans living the simple life, growing own food, raising chickens, etc. Seeing you talk about AG1 sparked my interest. Im over weight, with high blood pressure, aches and back pain, and im hoping to energize my body and mind and start living better with better health. I bought a monthly subscription of AG1 from you, and i cant wait to try it. I have a horrible will power when it comes to eating right, but ive got to get in shape. Im looking to buy a little used camper and travel by myself or with a son or few, grabddaughters, whoever. I want to go down in August to see my son in Charleston, S.Carolina. hes a firefighter there and he invited me up to stay and visit as long as i want. AG1 will be going with me! He is very athletic, a body builder and has not been introduced to AG1 yet, but ill talk to him about getting it from you. Im ready to live my life and be healthy!! Thank you Shawn. You are truly my inspiration right now, and i so grately appreciate you and your honest and positive chats and advice. Tonda in Ohio USA (indian Lake !)

Happy Birthday!

Paul Saladino and Sten Ekberg completely transformed my life with their approach to nutrition and overall metabolic health. Following a very low carb and high fat diet with zero UPF or seed oils completely cured all my depression and anxiety and I lost 30kg in 3 months, getting back down to a 32” waist which is pretty good considering I’m nearly 50 Getting off all the meds is a major win too

Shawn, I wouldn't think you would have a problem with high blood pressure with the amount of fish and wild game you consume, but then you mentioned alcohol that would explain some issues. I tried AG1 but it gave me stomach destress. I recently researched and found that our processed bread, flours have been stripped of the vitamins, bran, omega oils and fiber our ancestors had prior to 1910 when big grain mills removed the valuable nutrition for the sake of convenience, because the flour had to be used in a short amount of time once it was milled. I purchased a grain mill to grind whole wheat berries to be able to get the vitamins and fiber we need to sustain life, and for storage. A hand mill would would provide if any electricity outages and of course you can bake on open fire, in a Dutch oven . In Ancient times grain was the staff of life! The industry is making us sick and dependent on big pharm!! God bless your new health journey!

You probably listened to Andrew Hubetman, for one. And the bare feet on the ground- called grounding. I went low carb 3 years ago and lost 40 pounds. I’m 73 almost and having trouble with muscle mass due to degenerative disc and associated pain and neuropathy, ( can’t do any weight bearing exercises or much of anything because of my back, but at least I’m not carrying excess weight. I’m going to look into the Ag1 but probably can’t afford it. I do take K2d3 ans NAC and a few other supplements. But, I’m impressed with your change. Good on ya Shawn.

I had all of the same things you have and then discovered the amazing work of Dr Weston A Price from the 1920's and cut carbs 25 years ago. What a world of a difference. These days can follow the excellent Dr Berg on YT or get the books by the sports science legend Tim Noakes from South Africa and say goodbye to join pain due to inflammation. Berg has some excellent easy to follow videos on a lot of other heath issues too and his research is exceptional.

I've been watching you for a few years now. You seem like you're a real stand up guy so even though I've seen others talk about this supplement, I've never paid any attention until now. My HBP hovers around 135/81 if I don't take my beta blockers. While I'll continute to take my beta blockers because it's one of the few meds I've ever taken in my life that I have zero side effects from (I'm extremely fortunate) I'm definitely going to give this a try in conjunction. I've got that skinny type hereditary hypertension. haha Thanks for the info Shawn and for all that you do!

Thank you very much, sir. I enjoy both channels. Looking forward to this new year.

All good James. I’ve been on the same path and I’m also having great results. Glad you’re sharing.

I switched to a dirty keto diet and lost 100lbs in 1 year...first 30 came off in the first month, down 95 in first 6 months, then it took 6months to make the additional 5lbs. Down to 230lbs from 330

I’m so happy for you. I’ve been carnivore a year. I’ve healed all my health problems at 53 plus I feel SUPER HUMAN! It is definitely the PROPER way to eat!

I went on carnivore a few weeks ago and my arthritis is gone. I feel 10 years younger and losing weight. I've lost 25 or so pounds and when I get down to my target I'll ease off the diet but I'm never going back to the way it was. Our food is killing us.

God please keep Shawn and his family healthy .

Great job Shawn...congrats 🎉; you always inspire! 😊

I love the reading corner of the cabin..

Awesome Brother!! I am sure that you are in excellent physical shape from all of the amazing work you do outdoors!!💪🏾 I am turning 47 in November and am quite overweight. I haven’t been able to be physically active at all because I am still recovering from 4 back to back failed spinal surgery from in 2021🥹 Because of my health I haven’t been able to practice my Indigenous Culture in Harvesting or enjoying the land each day like I used to. When I watch your absolutely incredible and amazing builds and adventures I am really inspired to get back out again finally!! This is my comeback year. Moose, Deer, Bear and all upland game and fish plus also exploring the lands and waters once again finally!! It’s been waay too long for me. Chi Miigwetch/Thank you very much for the creating and sharing of your amazing and incredible adventures and projects Brother. Love seeing your beautiful pup Callie too. Have fun, Play Safe Baamaapii/See you again Miigwetch/Thank You Trevor Chenier ✨🦅❤️💪🏾🙏🏾🪶🤗

My wife and I are ur age and recently cut out seed oils and simple carbs. I have had diabetes type 1 for most of my adult life and this has reduced my use of insulin by 2/3s and has completely stabilized my sugar levels. I am excited to see and hear about your progress into the future.

It looks like you are either doing a Keto-Carnivore/Carnivore Lifestyle, as I reversed Type 2 diabetes, and busy reversing Psoratic Arthritis & Psoriasis! I'm now 63 yrs old. When I started this Lifestyle it 2023/04/02 and I had nothing to lose. Brain Fog is gone, my energy has bounced back, I lost 20kgs, and am working towards ultimate Health! ❤

Happy Birthday, Shawn... and thanks for posting this video. I was eagerly awaiting to hear more about the dietary changes you've made. I tried the Patreon thing, but it wasn't working for me, so thanks for posting to youtube. Overall, it looks like I've been doing basically the same things for the last year or so already, which is encouraging. I find a wholistic, multi faceted approach works the best... diet, deep breathing, cold immersion therapy, yoga, meditation, cardio, heavy weights, vitamin & mineral supplements, natural movement... that sort of thing. Because of my lactose and gluten intolerance, I cut bread, pasta, and dairy (and excess sugar) out of my diet last year, and within a couple months I dropped 20 pounds naturally, without trying anything else, and I've stayed at my current weight since. I think it was the empty carbs. Now I need to find a cure for Fibromyalgia... Thanks again for posting this. All the best to you! ~Tim

My gout was directly linked to alcohol, I stopped drinking alcohol for 5 years and not a single gout attack, fell off the wagon and gout attacks returned. My diet was consistent throughout, principally meat, seafood, veggies and rabbit food, occasionally some brown rice, potato, and whole wheat pasta. No sugar or refined cereal/wheat products for 32 years. 5' 7'' 74~78kg.

Suffered from severe joint pains, acute frozen shoulder attacks. My natural path pointed out the toxic buildup from wheat, sugar, coffee even chocolate and how they affected the liver and how the overflow of constant toxic intake went to my joints. Eliminating these foods made such a difference. I now know that eliminating offensive foods is the number 1 protocol to better health. And that supplementation is pointless unless those toxic foods are eliminated. It’s also a slow process to better health. We cannot expect overnight success when offending foods have been in our diet for years damaging our organs. Glad you have found a path to better health and especially moved to eliminate the meds from your life. I watched my father decline almost immediately from the typical geriatric cocktail doctors prescribe. These days you’re an anomaly if your not swallowing at least 5 different meds at the same time. In these pharmaceutical driven times, it’s up to us to educate ourselves on their side affects and instead, live as nature intended.

Congrats on your positive changes and health results

Great that you are thinking good Health you both are still very young. Be safe with that wood and tools flying around. Have a great Spring!

You’ve said you changed your diet but what exactly are you eating? Can you give an example of what you eat in a day? Also what about cholesterol? How has that been affected? I support positive lifestyle changes but please be careful of who you listen to and check their qualifications and background. Having someone say something about toxins and such doesn’t make it true. Due diligence is up to us.

My husband and I have just started the fresh milled flour journey. Highly, highly nutritious, wheat berries are loaded with vitamins and minerals. And many with gluten issues can eat foods made with fresh milled flour. Health in America has plummeted since white flour and mass milling in the early 1900’s. That and the switch to seed oils over tallow and real lard. Hoping our blood work shows great improvement in the coming months like others I’ve read about have improved. Looking into AG1.

That’s great! Sounds like you may have discovered Paul Saladino? I started following his way of life approximately 5 months ago and the results have been incredible. I’m 63 and was suffering painful hips and back, along with sciatica in both legs and tingling in both feet. Oxalates were definitely a problem for me. The tingling in my feet has decreased by half, the sciatica has also decreased by at least half and the hip pain is almost completely gone. In another few months I’m sure I’ll be pain free.

Shawn, I pray you continue to find what works for you to have great health in the years to come. We have bioindividuality and have to figure out what works best for our own body. Happy Birthday! What we eat has a tremendous impact on our bodies. Back in 2015 my health was at an all time low. Medical system offered very little help in finding root causes. I didn't want to be on medicines either. I began researching on my own and found ketogenic lifestyle. That became keto-vore and then carnivore. I feel amazing when I eat ketovore. Less than 20 grams of carbs is my daily goal. I am someone that does NOT feel well on vegetables. Almost destroyed my gut microbiome because of IBS and doctors saying "eat more fiber". For some people that is the worse advice. Meat is my main source of fuel. I reversed diabetes, insulin resistance, autoimmune issues, improved my cholesterol (HDL went up, Triglycerides went down), improved leaky gut issues and increased my overall energy. The bonus was losing weight. Any time I increase my carb intake for a significant amount of time, the weight, diabetes, etc., all returns. What I was eating caused all my issues! I found my root cause and could do something about it! Dr. Jason Fung says giving insulin to a diabetic is liking giving alcohol to an alcoholic. He is a Canadian nephrologist and has written several books about diabetes.

I’ve cut way back on carbs sweets processed foods etc. Easy to maintain a healthy weight and never get sick. Distilled water, homemade sauerkraut with most meals. Colloidal Silver water. Lots of beef.

Great for your changes. A1 is very expensive for the average person yet there are plant based options for green supplements that are affordable. Eating more plant based and either eliminating meat/dairy or limiting it has great health benefits. Whatever you choose, small changes is better than doing nothing.

@ShawnJames. Thanks for this video. Is very relevant to my 50yo self. On blood pressure meds and local DR. Suggests nothing to fix blood pressure when asked. I will try AG1 and a few other things myself.

Your endorsement of AG1 made me into an instant customer. I hope you are getting paid a good stipend for that service. Dr Laura, Hannity and Bongino have been pitching competitor, Field of Greens for years and I've never bought anything until I heard your heartfelt, personal story. High blood pressure with meds is a challenge for me as well so I will see how AG1 works out combining with my current regimen. For what it's worth Shawn, Have you read Blood Pressure Down by Janet Bond Brill? Low sodium V8 is a great source of potassium to offset the salt.

Happy birthday Shawn for next week!🎉

I lost 30 pounds when I stopped eating sugary food and processed stuff.Went from a 190 lbs to 160 ish I'm glad to hear you're doing better brother Shawn Have a great weekend

Hey Shawn, you mention joint pain. Have you looked in to possibly having Hemochromotosis? This is a genetic disorder that causes your body to absorb too much iron. In men, it usually shows up in middle age, and often goes mis-diagnosed or dismissed altogether by providers. The treatment is usually just giving blood and adjusting diet. Just a thought.

Thank you for the video, you are a great inspiration man.

Nice work James😊

Happy Birthday Shawn James

To clean out your arteries and joints, drink distilled water, iodine, but also bromelain, which is the active enzyme in pineapple. It dissolves everything built up and calcifications in the body as does distilled water. It only removes the INORGANIC form of minerals, we need out minerals to be utilized properly to be organic in form meaning a plant takes it up from the soil, and through photosynthesis, turns it into an organic form.

I've had good health success on the carnivore diet the last few years. Blood sugars disappeared and my weight has been constant. I'm 66 on zero medications. My neighbor has been on the diet only two months and his gout has cleared up (not uncommon for the diet) and he's already dropped nearly 30 pounds. Mental clarity is another bonus. I also live in Canada and the last place I want to be is in my doctor's office or a hospital.

Very good, Shawn. Thanks for sharing about your diet!

Good to hear Shawn! Health is the most important part to be able to live the way you want. I see a lot of comments about the carnivore diet.. is that what you’re doing? I’ve been researching this and can’t find any reasons to not try it! Can you share who or which health podcast you were listening to? Thanks and happy birthday!

Milk kefir, CBD, and high dose vitamin D did wonders for me.

Looks like you’re definitely checking all the boxes!

I need to get back on Keto, I felt so much better at it but life and having kids made me go back to the diet I had before.

The carnivore is where it's at! Funny how you didn't mention it in this commercial?

I went from 273 to 173 in 14 months and because of it no more medication at all for my very high blood pressure. That was awesome and now i'm not out of breath when i walk.
