Back in the late 60s i used to visit an old lady in our town. She was into health foods and she had a garden. She would always welcome me in and invite me to have some tea after we visited her garden. She mixed flowers in the vegetable garden and she had bird feeders and baths and wind chimes and a bubbling fountain. Then we had tea from a lovely old teapot and she shared her common sense approach to life. If I came to her depressed and weary, she always gave me hope. That was health care to me! Now I am an old lady and have a garden. Thank you forever Nana Smith!

I'm seventy years old and only use a naturopath doctor. I use no pills and ride my bike, walk five miles, row my kayak etc. on a regular basis. No health problems. I saw her last week and she told me I'm healthier than 99 percent of her students. Diet, herbs, and exercise...plus steering free of toxic environments has kept me out of the MD office. Son is a medical doctor. He and his family are always sick and on anti depressants....even some of the kids. God has a way that's better....natural health. Try fasting too ..or intermittent fasting

I’m 28, and it’s always enjoyable to see others my age that are a little more “old fashioned” than most🤪 I love vintage stuff, and natural remedies. I started a medicinal garden last year. I’ve been able to cope with anxiety and adrenal fatigue with the help of my natural doctor. Praise the Lord!🙏🏼 God bless you both!

Please do the skincare video 😊 great info ladies ! I agree 💯 %

Love you ladies, yall have great videos. I'm 70 years old, take no meds, stay physically active working in my garden and shop, eat whatever tastes good and don't worry about anything. My opinion is the number one detriment to people's health is STRESS. I do what I can and let God take care of everything else.

The land...God will prevail!im 77 years old but i have 2 strokes &.pacemaker! Over weight but one day at a time to help fighting diseases!its helping with healthpatic❤

It's nice that you are doing this at such a young age because when menopause hits, you'll be ahead of the game!

This is great that you’re sharing this. We are exposed to poison approved by the fda all day everyday. It’s so hard to eat clean but doing the best you can more often is a great place to start.

This is so right on! I changed my diet to a whole food plant based diet 3 years ago at 57 years old and now at 60 I’m at my healthiest. When I say whole food I mean non or minimally processed food not the company. I love your family because you eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables and you grow your own. Since I started eating this way I am no longer diabetic, no fatty liver, no inflammation and no longer hypertensive. My doctor is thrilled because I’ve also lost 90 pounds with out even trying! I don’t exercise very much unfortunately but the weight still came off. I have a treadmill so I’m gonna begin with 10 minutes a day and work more in gradually. My doctor took me off all my medication because I no longer needed them and my blood pressure pills were making me dizzy because I no longer needed them. There’s a good book out there called How Not To Die and another called How Not To Diet both by Dr Michael Gregor MD. I really enjoy your videos and bantering. Love to you and your family ❤️

Happy April Fools Day! I have a craving for fresh cornbread today -- skillet cornbread or cornbread muffin.

As a nurse, I believe in both. Friends, You do what you feel is best for you. God bless you both, your a blessing!

Lovely to see these beautiful twins spending some quality of time together ❤️

Spot-on video, girls. I practice most of the things you mentioned, and it works, for me anyway. I used to take meds for gout, diabetes, and high blood pressure. After about 6 months I was able to get off them all. Glad to hear you're both taking good care of yourselves. Thanks, and God bless!

I quit eating sugar and processed foods a few years ago and I use butter, coconut oil and olive oil. My fibromyalgia went away. I've tried to find a holistic dr but haven't been successful. My dr is always trying to give me flu, pneumonia and shingles vaccines every time I see him, I always feel like I have to defend how I'm taking care of my body. I'm glad you girls are strengthening your bodies.

I am a registered nurse and believe in both . I do believe we need to do what works for each of us. I've done acupuncture for a long time and taken herbs and different home remedies for a long time. ❤

Oh my goodness! I look for hawks when we are out driving! I’m closer to your mom’s age and been doing it since my early 20’s. I had no idea that anyone else did the same! Started watching y’all after following your mom. I can honestly say natural eating and herbs/supplements have changed my and my husband’s life. Wish I knew about those things when I was y’all’s age! Living here in North Alabama opposed to other areas, we currently have access to healthy eating. Keep up your channel! Y’all just clarify we are in the right direction! Love y’all!

Thank you girls for sharing. You guys are young, but I think it is your culture and how you were raised, in many aspects, that helped make you wiser than a lot of your peer group.

Could you do a video about the continuation of Appalachian culture? I'd be curious whether you think people your age and younger are: 1) aware of Southern/Appalachian traditions, 2) currently practice them, and 3) have an interest in continuing them/passing them on to future generations? Would you say that your peers in school were raised similarly to you or were they more aligned with the homogenized, mainstream U.S. culture?

I’m an RN husband is an MD and we feel a lot of the same way y’all do. Western med is great for emergency care but not so great at promoting health. It’s more about managing chronic diseases with meds as opposed to life style changes for better health. It’s not really health care it’s sickness management. Anyway thx for another informative and interesting video ❤

It’s great that you both are taking such good care of yourselves. Small changes can make a big impact when it comes to your health. Remember you are what you eat.

You got a lot in your heads keep up the news on this it will help us all out !!!

Wouldn't it be beyond awesome if a medical journal or medical records were discovered from the biblical days of Luke, the physician!!?? Oh, my, what knowledge we could gain from all of the "medicines from mother earth" that Luke used to help people! At least, to my knowledge, I have never heard of anything like that found among ancient ruins.

This is so welcomed! Thank you so much. I’m 63 years old, have lots of inflammation and am just starting to figure some of this out. I’ll be watching. 💗💗

I’m in complete agreement also it’s a personal journey, BTW I’ve been doing the kefir water thing for 2 plus years and it’s done wonders for my gut health! Stay healthy, god bless💛💛

Thank you for posting.

I suffer from chronic allergies I take shots every week. Also I have severe nerve damage. Trust me when I say I agree 💯 with you two. I grow my own food I hunt and fish off our family farm plus our own beef chickens hogs. Pond fresh fish. I have so many food allergies it messes with me from head to toe. The good Lord created these gifts for us to consume and heal from. Natural is key. Home remedies are key. Stay on track like yal are doing it will definitely pay off. Thanks for sharing your story and tips this is great for us all. Everybody have a good day 😊

Love this. Thanks for sharing.

You guys are so sweet and real. Good family and love your content. Love from Texas.

We agree 100% with you ladies. Loved the video thank you for sharing ❤. God bless

Great advice girls . Love all natural medicine that is tried and true. Broken bones and big wounds go too hospital . Natural Herbs and some plants are God given too help us.

You girls are very wise. God Bless. Jean😊

I’ve never been a natural/holistic medicine person. But, I understand why someone would be. Thankfully I’m almost 60 with no health issues and no meds to take everyday. Praying that stays like that for a long time. I try to make healthy food choices as much as possible. Praying you ladies stay healthy as well. I would be interested in the skin care video. Take care and God bless y’all! 😀❤️

Agree with everything ya’ll said. Don’t go to Dr.’s much.I am a natural healer and raised 4 healthy children like that.But having a lot of abuse in my past takes its toll on your mind. God has helped me overcome tremendously but I reward myself with junk too often 😂 Still having LOTS of stress in my life with my children and grands but again God helps so I am back on health greens etc instead of chocolate & cakes 😅 Just love love you all Your Mother is the Angel of Brasstown and has taught you girls well Do be careful while driving and making videos it’s a distraction Keep up the Good Work the public needs to hear that video cause so many poor souls rely on too much medication 💊 God Bless

Girl’s y’all are very wise for your young age. Thank You for being you!! ❤❤

Holistic and western medicine definitely have their place. But especially if you use BOTH some vitamins and herbal preps can have serious effects on some medications you may be taking from western Healthcare, some can make you at more risk for bleeding, some fruits can lessen the effects of certain medicine. Always a good idea to talk with your Doctor about your choice to use holistic medicine in tandem with whatever they may prescribe. I'm a firm believer also that the body can heal itself and what you put into your body can have a positive effect and a negative effect, eating sugar or saturates fats etc can and will cause problems Girls, I love your videos and your content and you always give us something to thing to think about. Have a wonderful day !

You are smart young ladies to know all of this at a young age! Awesome.

Thank you girls

I hope you two will share more of these videos with us! You have a gift to share with the world and now is the time!

Two very smart young lades who know what their doing thank you orie and Katie. Keep up the great work girls ..😊

Wow! Thank you for making this video! This is how I have lived my entire life 🙂 I was very luck to have parents that are into all of this stuff, and like you said, it doesn't have to get woo woo. I believe that God has given all of us things on this planet to keep ourselves healthy. God bless you both and all of your family 🙏

I'm 65 years young and I learn so much from you two! I just purchased your doctors book and can't wait to read it. Thanks so much for all the information! ❤

I'm like Granny on The Beverly Hillbillies, I do my own Doctoring.

Love ya, pretty ladies! Stay safe!

Wow, excellent girls! I need to find one for me & the whole family here. -much love ~Mary & fam in NJ

I agree 100% I've been to a Holistic Dr. and he helped me so much. All natural and no side affects! I also have a friend that does bioresonance scans and I love all of the information about your body that you get from those. Great video ❤

So glad you guys found a great natural path doctor ! They are a wonderful tool to have in your life journey along with western medical care . A good natural path would benefit so many people who take a laundry list of medications they really do not need from big pharma. ❤ love that you all are following this path and your faces show it , I see glow and health today on the video in both your faces. It's working for you both .

In November of 2021, my doctor said that my fasting cholesterol levels were at 300. My Mamas family had all passed away from complications of high cholesterol. This doctor leans more towards natural remedies and he gave me guidelines on what to eat and what not to eat. If it comes in a box, all processed, don’t eat it. I took all his advice and it led me to the Mediterranean diet. I’m 100% compliant with this diet. Old school Mediterranean food. Nothing processed and no junk food. I’ve lost 50 pounds without even trying to. And vegetable oil, corn oil etc are very very inflammatory. I only use good quality extra virgin olive oil.

I love this! I got tired of being in my 40's feeling like I was in my 80's, so started seeing a regenerative medicine doctor in November. She is DAILY spitting facts at me about things I hadn't even thought of, but it makes so much sense. And I do feel better! When you fuel your body well, your body operates as it should - and that doesn't have to be fancy foods, just clean foods! You all still grow and eat so many things that were common generations ago and have healing/medicinal properties and I am here for it! I've taken so many tips and tricks from this channel and your mom's for how to eat better and grow better food for myself. Thankful always!

Yes please do a video about skin/hair care!

My dear friend is studying energy healing. I’m benefiting from it. She’s using me for training. For sure, some of it sounds woo woo but I can vouch for it. I’m now able to do some sessions for myself. My last session was awesome! I needed more oregano in my diet and some magnet work. I could go on and on…❤

Drove through Murphy Friday on the way to my cabin in Almond. You girls are so blessed, as are we all. Have a great week.

@ the Pressly Girls, I love this video. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis which is a autoimmune form of arthritis that effects not only the joints but my organs. This is also where my body is attacking itself . I try to change my eating habits . I also try to do easy exercises . I take alot of scary meds & have to go every 6 weeks to have a medicine pumped into my body (this takes 2 1/2 - 3 hrs ) . Also my brother lives off the land & does this type of medical practice. He found out not long ago he has Lyme disease he battles it with this type of medical treatment . I wish I could do the same but I can't. Love u girls & u always put a smile on my face . Thanks 4 sharing this 💛💚💜💙

Enjoyed and I do agree with you about eating less processed food drinking lots of water.

Love Corie’s shirt!

Love this video! Off topic though, Corie I would love to see a crochet tut!

Yes, skin care video please!! Also I believe and understand what your saying, we think the same way. Keep telling my husband this all the time because he is on so many medications. I feel like it's a bandaid instead of gettng to the root of the problem.

I totally agree. I drink turmeric and ginger iced tea as my drink of choice with meals. I make it from fresh ginger and turmeric and let it steep with Y'all tea. It really helps inflammation. Lemon and filtered water in between. I try not to take anything else like ibuprofen, aspirin etc. Keep them coming ladies. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing. I agree with you both I have a lot of health problems one being inflammatory arthritis when I consume to much sugar I’m in a lot of pain. Have a blessed day 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Yall are on the right track! Almost all my cousins had all kinds of health problems in their 40s due to poor lifestyle choices and awful diet. I am pushing 70 and don't take any meds.

Thanks so much for this!! ❤❤

Amen! I posted some about insurance on your mom's video. Lol. I do have strong opinions about the health insurance system but also how some of western medicine works. I almost got into an argument with my former provider who was very obviously angry I did not want a certain thing. I stopped seeing her because I feared she would not give me the same care because I did not take it. I now go to a homeopathically-open provider which is better but still looking. I also feel lots of traditional medical providers are overly regulated and controlled by the insurance system. But kudos to you two who have your eyes open to this at such a young age!

Great video! I just started watching your mother than i found your channel, and the fact that i see you eating so healthy and yes most of us eat out at one point, but it balances out, if you watch what you take in at home, and also the snacks you take on the road, i do the same! I'm 62 now and haven't been to a medical Dr in years, and I have never been a patient in the hospital. I say that, but i know some have to go, so not saying anything against others for having to go. The healthier you can eat, and yes, i like something sweet, so i do try to bake with coconut sugar, but again, I do some regular sweets, but i do try to pace myself, or i just really feel bad! I am thinking of going to a naturopath Doctor in Kingsport, Tn. I am just over the Tn. line in Virginia (Abingdon). I am not perfect, but by gollies, the bad oils, and additives are horrible for us. Again, i rambled on but i am so impressed with how you live. Thank you for this, and thank you to your parents. You young ladies are very well spoken and know your stuff!

Having battled Lyme disease over 12 years I've learned natural methods are best. In my case I went to a doctor in South Carolina. He's a naturopath. Took water with frequencies. It's powerful stuff. It, for me, was overpowering. Too much "die-off" or what we call a "Herx" in the Lyme community. I didn't know to detox and perhaps build my immune system first. A small amount can go a long way. I still liked him. Many in the community have gone the natural route. I'm currently on and off taking structured silver in structured water like occurs in nature. It's by Ameo life. The owner wants to glorify God in everything. One step at a time. I'm working on mindset/faithset currently. Our bodies are truly encoded to heal. I'm still praying and trying. I'll have to email for that information. Great video as usual. I agree with everything you said y'all ❤❤❤. Blessings and prayers 🙏 😊

Love this video! I see a homeopathic Dr. He has really opened my eyes to what I’ve been doing to my body. I had no idea about all the chemicals.

MY OPINION FOOD ALLERGIES ARE NUMBER 1 IN MAKING PEOPLE SICK, AN QUALITY OF FOOD. FRESH OR SPOILED

I crushed my left foot a couple months ago and now I've had so much bed rest just to stay off it, I don't feel like I have any energy. It's real weird when you don't have any energy and you also can't get any sleep. I do like some muscle relaxers just before bedtime if I'm really desperate for sleep, but I've never gotten addicted to them. Good health has never been a guarantee. Anything can happen, at any age. I've had arthritis in both knees since I was a teenager, just for example. Doctors have been no help to me, I've been forced to grin and bear it, and sometimes take staircases on all fours. I'm happy that you are both making great decisions for your health and well-being early on. That will pay off in the long run! Thanks for sharing your advice, God bless you both.

Totally agree.

Makes perfect sense to me!😊🇨🇦

I'm with you 💯 %!

Katie and Corie I really enjoyed this video.I totally agree with you two' less processed food.Thank you two for sharing with us.I like D.r. Berry on youtube.God bless you two.

Thanks for sharing. 😊❤😊

The best thing I can say about being raised by a liberal mother is that she kept me away from processed foods and fast food. So I have never really had the Oreo, American cereals and fast food cravings that everyone I know has. But praise god she is no longer liberal.

I really have wanted to find a naturopathic doctor so if anyone knows of one in Georgia please let me know. I feel like the naturopaths are more like the good ole country docs used to be and now that we've gotten away from that society is more medicated and sicker than we were. Love that you pass on this great information to us so thank you.

Amen well said ladies.

I go to a wonderful acupuncturist that helps me with my diet. I am always amazed at the stuff that comes out when he does a cupping. I would not have believed it if I hadn’t seen it. Living more naturally is very important. Thank you both for sharing this.

Big pharmaceutical companies make no profit if we were all healthy happy sabbath love from TEXAS

I believe!!!! We all are uniquely made❤❤❤

My teenage daughter who is now at NC State used to complain about stomach problems all the time and not eat. I started giving her probiotics and Vitamin B-12 and she turned into a happy teenager within a few hours. She now texts me from college making sure I send more probiotics each month, :) Gut health is #1, and then thyroid condition as well. Fluoride in tap water and for bathing use causes a form of hypothyroidism, in my non-medical opinion. Nascent iodine helps this a lot, more that that fake thyroid medicine they give folks.

Love natural remedies a lot of what's good for us comes from the garden ps I love hawks too

I wish I could find a good doctor like yaw have. I have done some research And turmeric is one thing I take stinging nettle I grow and make Tincture with it and Gogie Berrys. I had a heart problem we’re a Valve was not working right it really made me feel bad so I looked online and read about Hawthorne berries was good for that so I started taking that and it stoped it and a heard doctor had told me that there was nothing I could take that would stop it.I still take a lot of meds because my doctor told me I needed them. You are to smart girls and you are going down the right road.🌺

Have never see. A naturopath or holistic doctor, but I have started studying about how the body works and healing it with herbs/supplements. I will say the few changes I’ve made have helped me lose weight and feel better. I also agree about the chemicals in our food and body care products. I have t found anything that works for my hair yet but have been able to replace my body care products. Great video! Hope y’all have a great weekend.

You can do both traditional medicine and natural medicine. Our daughter with CP due to injury at birth has used both to get her where she is now.

Girls day out!!!

I would love to see a skin care vlog ladies :)

I agree that we need to take care of ourselves with natural ingredients that God made. When I was sick, I took golden honey, which is honey with tumeric. It's a natural antibiotic; seemed to help! Plus, often it's cheaper than going to the doctor or getting a prescription, for sure! Thanks for the ride, girls! God bless ya'll!

I use to go to a naturopathic Dr. He was great! Tennessee does not have naturopathic doctors so I would go to Alabama to see him. Then he moved and I don't know where he moved to but he was really good he got to the root of the problem just like you said. I know a little bit about natural medicine my mom's hardly ever took us to the doctor when we were children she treated us with her own medicines passed down in her family. I'm 64 years old now.

Have fun girls.

I wish the audio was better in this video was better. We like your videos and you Mom’s and the natural healthcare is a big interest of mine. The use of herbs, oils and other areas have been used for centuries. I would like to learn more about their use 👍🏻😊

Thank you for sharing! Yes the food that is highly processed is definitely not good for you at all. And the chemicals they use on crops now especially glyphosate it's crazy. Going to see that doctor who has a lot of insight and helpful information I think is great! Whenever I eat fast food I definitely have that weighed down feeling, the home garden food is a savior! How do you guys feel about beef tallow? I've been using that cooking for a while now. Take care!

i agree about whole foods and natural oils I use animal fats and olive oil or coconut oil or butter. I don't eat processed foods but once in a while and I usually get joint pain when I do.

Inflammation is caused by seed oils, carbohydrates, processed food and sugars, including fruit sugars. Plants cause a lot of autoimmune issues. In my opinion, carnivore diet is good clean living. I dropped 50 lbs in 3 months, no longer have sleep apnea and don't have to worry about diabetes which leads to becoming insulin resistant which is really bad.

I’m tired all the time. Struggling with depression. Wish I could find a good doctor like this.

Big fan sisters

I’m so very glad that you both are health conscience at your age. I did not and it didn’t bode well with me. Also, a biggie is your skin. Take care of your skin and don’t expose it to the sun for long periods. Wear your hats and uv protective clothing. Coolibar is Great. Also, the fishing shirts like Columbia makes. They seem the best to me. I’ll have to get some info. from u about where u go. I have inflammatory related diseases and would love to see him.

Yes! Goes back to basic from ground...i k mother earth! This earthly man has destroyed

I like it

💯% agree.. I recently started seeing a functional dr.. wish I would have been as wise as you too when I was your age.. I know I would have less problems.. I am struggling with Lupus.. prayers appreciated ❤️🙏🏻

U ladies r 1000% correct! Modern medicine is fantastic for acute &/or emergent situations. However, to avoid being in those situations (other than physical trauma), smart eating, exercise, and the proper vitamins will keep most if not all chronic issues away. From my personal experience, I have discovered that synthetic medicine simply masks the situation and creates undesirable side effects whereas natural remedies r much more effective in resolving the specific issue at hand without unnecessary side effects.

I went down the natural medicine pathway some time ago and feel so much better!! We raise our own beef and pork and eggs and we have raw dairy All natural resourced food that I know what is eating and how it’s cared for I went to a holistic doctor some time ago and found out I was nearly without Vit D in my body. Traditional medicine providers had not even tested for that I was not absorbing it I was prescribed Vit D, C and an immune defense mix among other supplements and feel so much better I use raw sugar and butter olive/avocado oils and coconut oil I try to cook and eat at home for the most part my own home raised meat and vegetables When I do eat out I feel awful My body has detoxed from the preservatives and sodium that is in processed foods and doesn’t tolerate it well Store bought milk was the same Couldn’t tolerate it without horrible bloating My raw jersey milk is amazing!! No GI issues Also ferments are so great for us I think that any time we can eat and supply our body with nutrition from sources God has given us and as our ancestors did we are so much better off I’d love more videos like this!! And how you cook and use natural sourced products By the way - I am a long time nurse and still see the benefit of living life with holistic medicine

YES!!!! They treat symptoms rather than trying to find the underlying cause!!! I'm so tired of modern medicine trying to put a Band-Aid on my gaping wounds!! I wish I could find a good naturopathic doctor in my area. How do you find one?
