How I LOST 65 POUNDS & HEALED MY GUT (and other horrible symptoms)

This is my story of how I lost 65 pounds and healed my gut after 2 years of being sick. Following a whole food plant based diet was the key to regaining my health. I hope that my plant based health and weight loss journey helps any of you suffering from health conditions or wondering if a plant based diet is worth pursing.

My channel is all about health and weight loss content, following a whole food plant based diet. I would love to have you join my plant based community and follow along for all my future videos, so I welcome you to subscribe to my channel!

Omg I have all those symptoms plus extra and no Dr can find out what's wrong with me. Im 8 months vegan and my symptoms have gotten so much better. I'm glad to hear I'm not alone.

I can relate after going through a horrible divorce I started having severe bloated, panic attacks nausea and many more symptoms. after a year of Drs specialist they removed my gallbladder which made it worse then diagnosed with Crohn's disease and wanted me to take medicine. I refused, started slowly changing diet and walking helps.5 years later became plant based I still have flare ups but livable. Drs aren't educated in nutrition unfortunately. thank you for sharing your journey. it's hard doing this alone:)

I don't think your video is too long. I could listen much longer. I had an experience where I went from 240+ pounds to 98 pounds and the doctors had no idea why. They sent me to Shands Cancer Research Hospital at the University of Florida where I saw the best gastroenterologist in the country. He writes the textbooks from which students from all over the country learn. That's how good he is. But he didn't even know what was wrong, only that my organs were beginning to shut down. I could no longer walk and was even going blind. His first words to me wasn't hi how are you or anything like that. His very first words were "You are dying of severe malnutrition." It took about another 6 months after they were able to stabilize my weight to learn I'm allergic to animal products. Fast forward 8 years and I could stand to lose about 40 pounds. But I'm not complaining! Thanks so much for sharing your story!

"Health is King" agree, was there with my health as well. I remember being ready to go home to Jesus. Sorry for all you have been through! Thank you for sharing, best wishes in all!❤

Wow. I started this video and thought this is long. I don't know if I can make it through the whole video. BUT...when you started talking about your symptoms and getting nowhere with multiple drs and tests, my ears perked up. My story is so similar to yours right down to the unexplained bruising. I'm already vegetarian but I need to cut out the bread and cheese from my diet. Those two things always make me bloated the next day. Thanks for this video!! 🧡 Glad you are feeling better.

For anyone not able tolerate fruit when healing, stick to like she said juicing and bananas and potatoes. People can often tolerate bananas when they cant tolerate anything else. Just make sure they are extremely ripe, like mottled with black spots. Sweer Potatoes as well

Thank you so much for going into detail and sharing your journey. It was very encouraging!!

[camisnyder]

Wow!! You are so strong!!!…also, I thought you were like 30!!!! You’re definitely doing life right ❤️ God bless you

[gatesstopar]

I can so relate to your story! Thanks for sharing!😊

[JackiePeacock]

Omg I love and appreciate the "rarely been sick" comments because since going vegan (even junk food), and now mostly whole food vegan, I haven't been sick once. No one believes me... lol

[carolynwightman]

Thank You, Ive felt sick n tired most of my life, I’m 75!! 😒

[nakeasimone]

Wow this was an amazing story and you have reminded me that we have to learn to have patience because not everyone will get an immediate result from eating healthy and that’s been my issue I’ve been doing plant based on again off again for the past two years and if I didn’t see an immediate result I will stop and then go to Low Carb Then I will start to feel terrible on low carb and then switch back to plantbased. I’ve realized that I’m sticking with plant-based for the long-haul and I just have to remember to be patient and kind with my body. I have to remember that plant-based will get me all my nutrients that I need and weight loss would just be a side effect of that and weight loss may come to me a little slower than everyone else because I am in perimenopause.

I thanks YouTube for recommendation of your content, I have struggled with severe digestive issues following multiple losses in succession starting with a long-term relationship then losing parents. Not once had I stopped to make any association but listening to your video tonight and reading one of your follower's here making the link I'm stunned. I'll sure take a leaf off of your well scripted personal journey and by taking a day at a time, hopefully I will get to share my personal journey to recovery. New subbie appreciating your content, keep up the good work and I could have continued to listen and didn't realise how lottery video was! Ut was truly informative 👏 👌 🇬🇧

I’ve just subscribed to your channel & have started binge watching your videos I’m so glad I found you your an inspiration. I haven’t eaten meat for 8 years & been vegan for over a year it’s the best decision I ever made 🌱💯❤️😘😘😘

[judeannemcintyre]

You. Are. Amazing!! Such an inspiration to listen to what your body is telling you, never give up, and have patience with the healing process. Thank you for sharing your story from sickness to health! Continued well being to you! Hugs ❤️!

[susankessler]

Stasia thank you for sharing your story. It's an incredible one. I'm so glad you are doing well. I have diabetes and want a WFPB diet to help control it or even cure it. Thank you for the inspiration!!

[l.j.]

I heard some of this in a video quite a while back where you explained some health issues, but I appreciate the greater detail in this one. I am so happy that you figured it out and healed your body through the whole food plant based diet. It can be so scary when we develop health issues and the doctors don't even know what is going on. So glad that you took your life/health into your own hands. Wish more doctors would look into WFPB diets for health...what a concept! Thanks Stasia for telling us about your journey and so glad you are healthy once more!

I have been loosing the same 5 pounds and regain it on the weekend .This cycle has to stop. I guess I need not to eat out on the weekend, as much as possible any recommendations, for my weekends of regaining? Thank you so much! 😊

You should do a video of all the ways to eat sweet potato! maybe butternut squash that you ate
