Why we went to beef, butter, bacon & eggs

Описание: Not long ago I found myself in the ER with SVT—my heart racing, monitors beeping, and everything feeling very fragile and uncertain. That experience shook me. It shook our whole family. It was the moment I realized that the way we were living, eating, and carrying stress could not just go on “as usual.”

In this video, I’m out walking on our little Alberta acreage, sharing my side of the story—how that SVT episode became a wake-up call and why it led us to make some very concrete changes, starting with our diet. That’s how our family ended up on what we now call the “beef, butter, bacon, and eggs” way of eating.

In this walk-and-talk, I open up about:
• What it felt like to go through SVT as a wife and mom
• How that scare pushed us to rethink our habits, our stress, and our priorities
• Why we chose a simple, animal-based diet instead of chasing every diet trend
• What this change has done for my energy, mood, and cravings, and for our home life
• How we’re trying to bring faith, family, food, and finances into better order on our small farm
• The way our new way of eating connects with what we actually raise here at Starling Acres—goats, eggs, real food—and our long fight to get out of debt

This video isn’t medical advice. It’s simply my honest story of being jolted awake by a health crisis and trying to respond with gratitude, responsibility, and trust in God with the time and health I’ve been given.

If you’re interested in homestead life, simple eating, and following a family that’s trying to get healthier and pay down debt one decision at a time, I hope this encourages you.
