The Anti Inflammatory Diet Grocery Haul: What I Eat (Series Part 2/4) 

I would also love some more anti-inflammatory videos. I suffer from inflammation all over.

I just found your channel recently and have been binge watching them. I have been sick and gone to doctor after doctor for 40 years (I’m 63), so most of my life. I’ve had so many diagnoses that I could cry just thinking about it. I’m an unusual case because I don’t have a positive ANA so no further testing was done, ever. Last March 2022 I had a new Rheumatologist decide to do a Lupus panel on me and I was off the charts for Lupus/MCTD. I’m one of the 2% of the world that doesn’t show a positive ANA. Just about the same time frame my husband was going through radiation for cancer. I decided then that our diet was changing forever. Our daily diet looks almost exactly like yours now. We are eating only organic, grass fed, probiotics, all the things. I have been for the last year drinking a milk keifer smoothie for lunch and when I want a soft drink type drink I have flavored water keifer. It has literally cured all of my stomach issues. No more reflux, etc. I’m in the process of finding a Ancient Grain bread recipe that I can use fresh milled grains for. We love bread in this house! Thank you for everything that you’ve given us. Your journey story was heartbreaking to watch but so inspiring to me! ❤

Yes, please do additional videos!😊

Please give more videos. This is so interesting and helpful. Thank you!

I am interested in more information about sprouted grains. I didn't know there was such a thing as sprouted cashews. This is all great information. Hope to start implementing some more of these foods in my diet. Thank you, Pam Smith

Ty so much for sharing. So excited to learn more.

LOVED this video, Rachel, so very helpful!

Love your videos! I was raised on "tub things", LOL, and sugar and now my body is paying the price! Thank you for your help!! ♥♥♥♥♥

Well done! I did the same as you (I have 8 AI conditions) with The Lion Diet. Three years in, I am doing great! Hard work, but it's worth it. From bedridden to fully functioning.

Thank you so much for sharing with us. Can’t wait to start incorporating your suggestions. Very interested in the Kambusha

I'm always looking for ways to reduce inflammation by avoiding irritants in my diet. Beef tallow is just one of the newest items I've tried and really like. Eggs are my very favorite! Thank you for this lovely series.

Great information !!!! Thanks for all the wonderful tips !!!

Great video Rachael luv all of your helpful and healthy information! Some of these items im already using with good results. Keep the good things coming Rachael,luv your work!!

i was diagnosed with graves and RA so this has helped me alot thank you

A great video, Rachel. I am intrigued by what you're sharing as I believe I have an undiagnosed autoimmune disorder (I'm told it's rare for a man to have one), and my pastor's wife definitely has one. I'm still in the process of finding out what foods are best for me, and I look to your videos for guidance. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

I'm making a change the for the info

WOW Rachael,the cinnamon rolls looks delicious!! make some for me too !!!

Thanks for sharing this video.

Thank you.

Found your channel through a bread recipe, and I was so impressed by how a simple recipe video could be so motivating and kind! Clicked on your channel, and I saw your motto, and you were speaking directly to me. Went on to watch a video about your health journey, and I just wanted to say how absolutely bright your energy is for people like myself in the audience. I struggle with an autoimmune disorder that effects my skin, basically got ignored medical attention told that I was fine or told that I needed to take dangerous medicine that masks symptoms. So interesting to see how our diets are quite similar and I have seen a lot of remission and even reversal (small amounts) of my skin symptoms. Wishing you all in your family my absolute best for being such incredibly persistent and clear-minded people! (And courageous!)

Thank you so much for this information!!

Thank you 🙏

Hi, found your channel last night, subscribed! I so appreciate your story and your willingness to share and teach others. Thank you also for acknowledging God and your faith. ? I would like a video on bread, gluten free, and inflammation info regarding your health journey. Thank you💖

I would love to see videos on any of these foods please 😀

Thank you for sharing and your 100% honesty up front. So many things you mentioned I have. From cooking oil, tub butter and the starches. However, having MS, pregnancy & GD!! Finding foods that are right for me and enough for my growing baby, it’s tough. Also, other than your beef, where are your favorite stores to shop at?

Just come across your channel.. Fantastic content ❤

Thanks for this info. I just had shoulder surgery so now I want even more to eat more anti-inflammatory foods. What are your thoughts on smoothies?

Thank you for sharing. I have arthritis and the inflammation is terrible and very painful. Have changed alot of things in my diet, its amazing how much that can help.

I would love to hear more about your journey.

Love this! Can you do a video on the stock and the chicken labels?

I am so glad I found you web page. I was just diagnosed with CIDP. I was very lucky to have been diagnosed within 3 months of my symptoms due to a very observant physical therapist to a very thourough Nuerologist. But I have been having problems getting someone to treat my CIDP. I am not being treated at this time but decided on my own to do some investigating on a anti-inflammatory diet. I even talked about an anti-inflammatory diet with my Neurologist and he had no idea what I was even talking about. I have been investigating this way of eating and found your videos which just reinforced my ideas of using food as medicine. I'm just starting my anti-inflammatory diet journey but you give me hope. Thank you for your story!!!

Thank you, this was very helpful. I have started already have a few of those at home already but i will definatly get the rest. Very helpful video for me!

Cut dairy and eggs ...cook potatoes with chicken and tumeric it's amazing

I’m very interested in your chicken broth you were talking about for inflammation. I am actually fixing to make chicken broth in a few days was wondering about getting your recipe before I do that.

Ketogenic diet THATS best diet for me so far. I’m off all my diabetic meds because of Ketogenic or LOW CARBOHYDRATE DIET, ELIMINATION OF ALL SUGAR.ALL ORGANIC VEGES,PASTEUR RAISED EGGS,MEAT. THATS IT, no dairy but I will take RAW DAIRY ONLY

So Weston A Price! Nice!

I would love your meat broth recipe

I would like to see more on the good fats and oils to use. I have been using real butter for years but I am always confused about the oils. Please do a video on that. Thanks Rachel, I always appreciate what you share!

Would love a video on eggs 🍳 I can’t tell if they are a food trigger for me or if I’m just not getting the right kind. Thank you!!

I'd like to know your thoughts on venison. I too have a couple of autoimmune disease, Sjogren's and Lupus, and as we know the prices of meat in the grocery stores just keep rising. My family hunts and can get quite a bit of deer meat so I wonder how inflammatory/anti-inflammatory that would be?

Hello Rachel- I think I will use my grapeseed oil to polish my kitchen wood stove cook top! Thank you for sharing these products. I love a good organic yogurt. Can I culture regular cottage cheese If I add some cultured organic yogurt? We raise grass fed beef and buy organic chicken and eggs from a neighboring farm. Interesting regarding sprouted nuts. ~ Diane

Thanks ..fruit flares my skin sadly but I try in moderation .

What are your thoughts on nightshades and Hashimoto’s? Do you think that these need to be avoided? I have been only eating peppers and tomatoes (raw and cooked), but staying away from the other nightshades! I loved this video and I have been following close to the same foods in the video. I have noticed a huge difference and even started losing weight. I’m just curious what your thoughts are on nightshades. Thank you for any feedback.

I also love a good old-fashioned buffalo steak, but at $25 a pound it’s almost impossible to eat that every day or at least once a week

i'm on 90 percent of your diet just by following what I like to eat and what I was told not to eat. Time to mix in the sprouted cashews and some more veg. I like kale and bok choi. I have a close neighbor who's had cdip for years and years. Spider bite, to GBH to CDIP. I'm trying to get a bug in his ear to change his diet. He claimed he tried keto but it didn't work. I'm not so sure what he tried. This will be a new reference for him. Thanks for sharing. I feel so good, my light duty auto-immune things went away doing this. OMAD and whats on your table. I can eat twice a day if i want and tend to now. 6 months journey, lots of weight loss. 40 pounds and 4 pant sizes. Spot on recommendations. I feared meat and fat. Never again.

Hi, i also have autoimmune. I would like to here your thoughts on starches and potatoes. Thanks

I am interested in learning about MILK! did you say you purchase sprouted milk? and do you make almond milk or oat milk (I know it is now dairy hahaha). I am having problems finding 100% grass fed dairy products. Love your show! thank you!

Hey Rachel! My daughter has eczema and would like to start her on a anti inflammatory diet. Do you think that wheat or any gluten free bread is inflammatory? And also how long did it take for you to see changes ? And how strict were you? I want to stick to the diet at home but nervous about when she goes to visit grandmas house which is one day a week.

Rachel, do you have trouble keeping full since you don’t eat grains?

Thank you for all the information! I have a question: what do you drink when you’re craving something sweet? Sometimes I just don’t want water, but I’m trying not to drink as many sodas. Thanks!

Do you have a recommendation for flour/breads?

I have arthritis. Do you recommend homemade bread (love your recipe) or just stay away from gluten?

Great stuff! Would swap the cashews for macadamia or pecans and quinoa for chia seeds 👍

Hi love, your suggestions but I have multiple allergies to dairy, sauerkraut beef, shellfish, strawberries, grapes, oranges, and that’s just a few of them. I have fibromyalgia and sometimes I have an active lupus diagnosis. I am not on any medication as Dr. South giving up trying to medicate me because I react so horrible to multiple medications especially PAQUENIL and any suggestions. I LOVE SALMON AND SHRIMP AND I CAN EAT THOSE TWO THINGS FOR WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. I DO EAT EGGS ABOUT THREE TIMES A WEEK. I FRIED THEM AND OLIVE OIL DO NOT LIKE ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR LOX OR CURED SALMON IT’S VERY DIFFICULT TO HAVE A SUPERHEALTHY DIET WHEN YOU HAVE SO MANY ALLERGIES I LOVE VEGETABLES BUT I I AM ON A VERY TIGHT BUDGET SO I DON’T HAVE THE OPTION TO EAT ORGANIC VEGETABLES EVERY DAY AND HERE IN NYC. FOOD HAS BECOME ASTRONOMICALLY EXPENSIVE I ACTUALLY TRULY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. Part of my condition, make it impossible to sleep along with severe menopausal symptoms which of course also can make it difficult to sleep. I don’t have access to go doctors even though I do have insurance New York State public Insurance It’s pretty bad I believe in natural medicine, but obviously, New York State is not going to cover that. I started consuming Ashawanda forgive my spelling I’m taking about 1500 mg but I started with just 1000 mg about three days ago but I have not seen any difference in my severe depression which is also part of my email disorder nor have I seen any improvement in my insomnia, which is pretty darn bad and of course it adds up making me feel that much worse.

Can I get regular quinoa and soak them for 30 mins before cooking? Will that be same as sprouted quinoa?

I’ve heard of beef tallow, but what is it? Do you use it for cooking like grease or is it like a butter? Also you said you eat all veggies cooked. Do you ever eat lettuce? I know some people put lettuce in their smoothies. I’m a new subscriber. I’m hoping to get encouragement from your videos and learn about this diet and lifestyle. I also used to be a nurse. It takes a while you realize the career you’ve done doesn’t have the answers for health. It’s always pills. I’m a believer also.

We make our own kombucha

Please don’t pay any mind to the naysayers…I have lupus and it always attacks my tendons …I understand you ..for me it had to be a massive elimination way of life …carnivore 13+ years and elimination of stress …I too do not respond to western medicine …I went eastern after 10 years of being told I was fine ….GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR ‘S …you have an amazing God Fearing family and be joyous …Cause Jesus has got this …according to papa’s plan ….LOVE YOU BUNCHES IN CHRIST 🙌🙏🙌💋🌹💋🤍🤍🤍🤍

Did you deal with any “die off” when you started fermented foods?

Not only do I have an auto immune disease but I have long haul Covid. I am curious if you are gluten free.

Hi. I found your bread recipes and then stumbled on your autoimmune journey video. I have Hashimoto's, fibromyalgia, and Multiple Myeloma. I'm not sure what to eat and what not to eat. My question is, do you make/eat bread, or are you still grain free? (I've been milling my own flour and making bread.)

This is great. I’m trying to eat better I watch one doctor say you shouldn’t eat meat and dairy and then someone else says it’s OK a little bit of moderation so much miss information or confusing information out there. I think to eat the good food that God makes for us and very little processed is probably the best that seems to be what you’re doing. I would love to see if you meal prep or what your menu plans are thank you for doing what you do.

Do you have recipes for some ferments you make?

Can turkey bacon work, because l don't eat pork.

Do you sell beef from your farm?

What about bread?

Why are you watching carbs? (potatoes, sweet potatoes)? You don't have a weight problem.

Your keto, like me...except for the fruit.

i was diagnosed with graves and RA so this has helped me alot thank you
