    I was losing my hair, and I needed to shave off my hair, I’m alright with that. I don’t need to spend money on special haircuts

    • @cypriano8763 says:

      i honestly dont get why guys shave their heads. just own your baldness, cut your hair short like men used to do.

    • @pdblouin says:

      @@cypriano8763 I’d say shaving your head counts as “owning your baldness”. My hair genetics are pretty good but I’m a buzz cut boi, people have asked me why I don’t have a hairstyle 🤷‍♂

    • @cypriano8763 says:

      @@pdblouin same for me but i was going bald i would just keep it at 2 or 3 on the hair clipper and that would be good enough. Shaving.is a lot more work, imo

    • @paulcohen6727 says:

      ​@@cypriano8763I refused to “own” my baldness. Instead, I kept on trying new things I heard about either on the Internet or from people I met. Eventually I found something that worked for me: gugo shampoo, and now I have a full head of hair.

    Awesome! I’ve missed these videos!

  • @TravisHowrish-v2c says:

    The shaved head looks awesome man ! Right on Derek.

  • @seanfromaustin says:

    I love your positivity. These videos always brighten my day. Thanks, Derek!

    Your dimples show up more!! Love it!❤🎉

  • @fogatron503 says:

    Love the coastal rainforest vibes. Great video

  • @gilliandunne6401 says:

    You have definitely helped me and my husband in our switch to a vegan diet and we are so grateful!

  • @rebelcolorist says:

    The quick solution to the PPO issue is two-fold, from what I have been reading online lately from recent research, is: 1) acidify, and 2) use an anti-oxidant like ascorbic acid, so i have been starting my smoothies lately with a dash of ascorbic acid crystals, and then adding a good amount of fresh lemon, lime or oramge juice to the blender jar with the liquid and banana, then blending smooth, before the berries and the other stuff… Try it!

  • @vimyshah2029 says:

    Love you both

    Hopefully next time you’re in England will get to meet you ❤

  • @eydiegarcelon8889 says:

    I absolutely love these videos! They are very informative, but comical as well! So much info, but lots of laughs too! Love you both! Greetings from Northern Minnesota💜

  • @krishubert787 says:

    Loved this Q&A. Have been make lots from your videos, especially the dressings, enjoy cooking now without oil too.

  • @annabethelliott5017 says:

    Love the backflip into the river and advice on how to do pull ups! Thank you, Derek! I would definitely be interested in seeing more Q&As. You helped me transition from vegetarian to vegan. Right at the start of Covid too. It was a great time to learn.

    • @Simnettnutrition says:

      That’s awesome, I’m happy to be of help! I will try to make more q&a’s, they are fun for us to film and we love showing off the nature around us 😀

  • @tracylitton8774 says:

    Derek, can I just say that you have the best personality and are the most likable person on youtube. And you are easy on the eyes! Keep up the good work

  • @michaelham2366 says:

    My main exercise is Nordic walking, and I discovered that the key is NOT to focus on speed or duration/distance but rather on *consistency.* When I walk consistently, my speed and distance will gradually improve automatically because as I become fitter, I find it easier to go faster & longer. So I make walking a priority (*not* walking at some particular speed or for some particular duration or distance — just walking, daily). (Hidden in there is this primary rule: pick an activity that you *enjoy* so that, rather than pushing yourself to do it, you are drawn to doing it. Using Nordic walking poles makes walking much more enjoyable for me. YMMV)

  • @courtneya.1849 says:

    The sun behind y’all during the pull ups and backflip questions was SO GORGEOUS! We went to a park this weekend with our dogs and it was just so nice to be outside in nature like you always say!!!

  • @MelanieOh says:

    Lovely video as always 💖
    It’s kind of crazy how much the health and fitness industry vacillates between the scientific (“what? No, these supplements do basically nothing”) and borderline-superstitious (people separately telling me fenugreek will boost T or estrogen levels lol), any time we can have clear messaging like you’ve presented is fantastic.

    I found the easiest way to get people on board with any form of plant-based diet is to be supportive, and like you, show them how easy and delicious it is. I try to approach it from a place largely of joy and pragmatism. A fridge full of fresh and frozen veg from a quality supermarket, green grocer, or farmer’s market can be unbelievably cheap!

  • @urbanwithoutgrace6683 says:

    Your my favorite…… I fall off healthy eating often but when I need to recover I go right for your videos for my reboot!! You definitely inspire me!! I’m hoping one day it sticks lol

  • @Isisthered says:

    Great Video! Thanks for the information on workouts. I am just getting started and it really gives me a big confidence boost. Been vegan for about 16 months now and I have been watching your videos for most of that time, mainly for meal ideas. Please bring more sauces and keep bringing the nature!
