How simple can you make your life?
The healing power of you is more powerful than anything in the external world.
Hey, my friend. I have missed you so much. I can't tell you. Making videos for you like this over the past 11 years on FitLife TV, in particular the YouTube Tribe, the YouTube channel fills me up with so much joy, so much light every single day when I'm filming these videos that I missed it in my life. I missed the community. I missed your comments. I miss connecting. I miss the presence the that we would create together. I miss the commonality of what we're searching for in our own daily lives. And that is, we believe, if you're watching this, that every single person out there in the world deserves optimum health. Go ahead and hit that like button if you believe in that as well as I do. I believe we are miracle multidimensional suits. And when you give it the right tools, the right resources, the right nutrients, not only physically, but mentally, you know what I'm saying? It can radically transform any single person's life. I don't care if you have a disease. I don't care what trial or tribulation you are up against. I know that the healing power of you is more powerful than anything in the external world. And I'm excited you're here. I'm Drew Canole. I've been doing this for about 11 years, on and off. We built up so much momentum. We actually had 7 million followers on this platform and other platforms, on Facebook and other social media, search engines. Lo and behold, algorithms change.
They tried to silence us a little bit more on these other platforms, but we're still here. And I'm here for you. I'm not your guru. I'm not a teacher. I am here with you on the bus that we're creating together. So you're probably wondering, what have I been up to over the past year and a half since I filmed the video last time? A lot has changed. I went through a whole black mold issue. Black mold completely wreaked havoc all over my life. I gained 25 pounds of body fat. My thyroid measurements were way off the charts. My metabolism was so sluggish, my friend, that I just didn't feel like doing anything. Luckily for me, the love of my life and my soulmate, Bailey, she actually had a mold experience in the past that she was able to share with me and tell Me how to navigate it. And I saw the ups and the downs and the. The marketplace in the whole pandemic, right? And it was crazy, it was scary. And I knew that something was shifting, something was changing. So it prepared me to go on a journey likened to maybe where I used to live back in the day in Michigan. And I was like, you know what, maybe I go back to the farm. So we went all through Utah, we took a big road trip. I lived out of my van for a while. And literally we stumbled across a beautiful place that we now live at. And it's kind of off grid, ish, with animals, with water, with everything that we need to have more sovereignty and the choices that we make in regards to where we live as well. So one of the most important things in any property, I believe, is to really have a place to ground, to connect your feet to the soil, to the grass. And this property definitely has that. One of my things that I love doing the most is a cold plunge in the morning and then planting my feet on the grass as I do a little Tai Chi or Qigong or something likened to that to really get my day started. I believe grounding is very healing and it's something that we can do for absolutely nothing. One of the greatest biohacks is just plugging into the natural Schumann resonance of mother Earth herself. Being with the sheep, it really teaches me that you gotta ask for what you want. These sheep are so loud. Every time you walk by them, they're baa ing. And they have their own character, like their own personality, every single one of them. So you develop a relationship with these animals. Sometimes it's hard for healers to really say what they want. And these sheep will teach us otherwise. As far as the alpaca, what I learned from them is not to take life so serious. I mean, if you've ever seen an alpaca with a new haircut, it is one of the cutest things you will ever see in your life. And it just reminds you to have fun, to have joy. We are literally hatching a chicken or two every single day. We got like 50 chickens now. We have all of our own eggs, organic, bug fed. So they're eating their ancestral diet. Some would argue that the ancestral diet of the common chicken that we have today is soy and corn. I don't believe that. I believe it's loaded with other petrochemicals, herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, most of it glyphosates, loaded. So everything that we feed on the property is organic and we Try to stick as close to Mother Nature or the ancestral diet that it's intended. And let me tell you, my friend, just being present with a chicken or an alpaca or a sheep or one of the other animals on this property will completely change your life. She's got the crooked beak. We're gonna have to start hand feeding her. She's the sweetest little baby.
The goal by 2023 was to be able to eat at least 80% of what we bring into the house off the land. So there's fruit trees here. I planted a bunch more. I'm building a greenhouse right now. So what we're doing here is we're actually building a greenhouse 30 by 50 that will have organic soil, everything we need to be off grid, self sustainable. We'll run geothermal to it and we're also going to make sure that it's solar power as well. So this is the greenhouse. It's actually easy to get our fruits and get our veggies that are good for us, that we can juice every single day. And I just feel like a billion bucks. One of the questions I would ask myself through my own healing journey is, is this going to bring me joy? And at what level? And if it wasn't a 10 out of 10, bringing me joy? Because I believe our emotional body helps us heal the physical body as well. One of the greatest memories that I always have in my life is with animals. Be it sage, my little goldendoodle, or our new puppy, Palo, our Australian shepherd, or the chickens that we have on the property, the alpaca, the sheep. When I'm around animals, when I'm around nature, it just reminds me of how easy things are and how simple things can be. I think we are here to really go back to simplicity, an organic way of living. How simple can you make your life? I got rid of probably 90% of everything that I owned. And it was one of the most freeing, rewarding things I have ever done in my life. So thank you so much, my friend, for watching this update video. I really want to pour into you. I want to come up with content that actually changes your life so that the changes happen not only for you, but they cascade into every single family member that, you know, maybe there was a word I said or two that resonated with you. If there was, please share this with somebody. This is how these things work on social media. So I'm interested in filming more and more as the weeks go on. And I'm going to keep you updated along the way. Thank you so much for watching. I'm Drew Canole. And remember, we're in this together.
