Daily keto weight-loss vlog (day 23 of a 30-day challenge). The speaker is sick with a sore throat and sinus symptoms, describes short-term changes to make her keto approach healthier (less processed meat, less dairy while sick, watching sodium, focusing on healthier fats and portion control), shows and eats a measured breakfast (1 cup strawberries, 1 hard-boiled egg, 1/4 cup Brazil nuts), reads from a weight-loss booklet from a clinic/doctor about habits and portioning, shows fiber supplement and a probiotic (Ultimate Flora purchased at Bulk Barn), prepares measured chicken for a keto-style sandwich on homemade 90-second keto bread with aioli and lettuce, mentions tracking sodium (aiming for ~1500 mg), and ends the day feeling unwell and planning a simple dinner (chicken breast, guacamole cup, green pepper) or craving oranges and chicken soup. Brief clips include pet moments and a short comment about watching the TV show Wentworth.
Food — lettuce: Added to the sandwich; speaker notes caution about vitamin K with some greens but eats lettuce regularly. Evidence: “and I added some leafy lettuce”
Chantal gives health updates about recent ER and clinic visits for breathing problems and pulmonary embolism, follow-ups with a respirologist and thrombosis team, changes to her weight-loss plan (low-carb / keto option) and new medication trial for appetite/cravings, and the pre-op process for an upcoming hysterectomy to remove borderline serous ovarian tumors that may be causing blood clots. She describes symptoms, current treatments (oxygen saturation, Ventolin/Salbutamol, Benalyn, raw honey, hydrating fruit), pre-op testing (CT repeat, internal medicine, anesthesiology, thrombosis/bridging from warfarin), and emotional impact and recovery needs.
Product — Vivance: Medication mentioned as previously prescribed (likely Vyvanse - spelled 'Vivance' in transcript); used for appetite/ADHD-related treatment context Evidence: “I told him I was on vivance”
Chantal reads and reacts to CT scan results she discovered online after a recent chest and pelvic CT. She describes feeling unwell with cough, fever, and fatigue, recounts the CT procedure, and summarizes findings: a 14 x 10 x 11 mm lung mass (previous pulmonary embolism noted), irregular lymph/node findings with concerning terminology, recommended repeat CT in 6–8 weeks and a needle biopsy to rule out possible ovarian/fallopian tube/peritoneal malignancy metastasizing to the lung, a probable benign splenic mass (MRI suggested), and a pelvic cyst that has grown to 17 cm. She explains follow-up appointments, expresses concern about anticoagulant therapy not resolving clots, says she must lose weight to become eligible for surgery, and plans to eat an anti-inflammatory, cleaner diet and post daily vlogs documenting recovery and weight-loss efforts.
Chantal vlogs about health updates and errands across the day: she picks up Starbucks (cold brew with heavy cream and sugar-free cinnamon dolce, plus ham-cheddar-and-peppers egg bites), discusses a painful lump on her neck and upcoming hysterectomy/pre-op testing, reviews recent CT/VQ-scan results and blood-clot follow-up, talks about mental-health care and sleep apnea, shops for low-carb groceries, plans to cook a beef curry with coconut milk for guests from Djibouti, and shows the meals she eats (salad, salami, Swiss cheese, guacamole, olives, Brazil nuts, cantaloupe, watermelon). The vlog mixes personal health updates, grocery footage, short cooking plans, and what she eats in a day.
Chantal (Foodie Beauty) films a chatty get-ready-with-me where she does a simple pink glitter eye look while discussing recent health struggles, fatigue, depression, medical tests (a CT and possible lung blood clots), and her difficulties with dieting. She explains that her eating-disorder clinician recommends a balanced, non-restrictive meal plan rather than keto, describes upcoming appointments with a nutritionist and doctors, and briefly previews a later Costco-run video showing groceries she likes (wild Pacific salmon, frozen chicken breasts, frozen vegetables). Makeup products and brushes are applied throughout as she demonstrates the look.
Chantal records a casual "coffee time" vlog where she drinks coffee and talks candidly about current struggles with anxiety, depression, binge eating, difficulty reaching her psychiatrist, upcoming medical tests for blood clots and INR monitoring, and planned surgery (a total hysterectomy). She explains why she's not a candidate for less invasive surgical methods due to weight and large cysts, mentions watching reality TV as a coping mechanism, and shares she will update viewers after a hospital appointment.

Chantal (Foodie Beauty) announces she has a surgery date for a planned total hysterectomy to remove two large serous/ovarian tumors. She was booked for surgery on October 3rd and is in pre-op; the team expects a vertical laparotomy rather than a laparoscopic/robotic or vaginal approach because of the cysts' size and complexity and her body habitus. She is on anticoagulant therapy following pulmonary emboli diagnosed in May and reports a follow-up chest CT showed the clots are almost gone. The ovarian masses are about 17 cm each and resemble a previously removed borderline serous tumor; the plan is removal and biopsy, and saving the ovaries is unlikely. She plans to document the hysterectomy journey, may have her mom film parts of the hospital visit, and hopes to lose a small amount of weight (mentions ~10 lb) before surgery. She also discusses relationship considerations and recovery expectations (hospital stay of a few days, ~6 weeks estimated recovery).
Chantal (Foodie Beauty) and a friend (Pete) visit a Lush store and Chantal shows a haul of recently released and staple Lush products. She explains each item’s form, key ingredients, scent, and how she uses them: a solid (naked) shower oil, Easy Peeler body scrub sample, naked shampoo bar and solid conditioner, Light Hold Sea Water Spritz, mouthwash/toothy tabs (creme de menthe; activated charcoal & chilli), a naked solid facial oil (banana-like / banana skin), a selection of new solid facial cleansers (oil-based, some exfoliating) and a Conga shower jelly. She describes textures, scents, packaging (naked/packaging-free and egg-crate sample packaging), application tips, and that some items are new-to-her. The video ends with a brief sign-off.
Person — Pizza: Named individual mentioned at the start ('Pizza's wearing a boring t-shirt'); identity unclear (person or pet) but named in-video. Evidence: “Pizza's wearing a boring t-shirt today.”
