Steamed zucchini is amazing and can put some jalapeños balsamic drizzled in it.

Yes, we have chocolate oranges in US

That means not buying any of your products which are too expensive!

ONE WEEK on this diet - {99% perfect. The only minor sin has been peanut butter, lol, as peanuts are OK but not the butter of nuts as they are too much saturated fat I guess} .My first time seeing Dr Ornish. Thanks for this. It's my new BIBLE for diet. Previousy I followed Dr. Richard Schutze, herbalist - followed him for 30 years. But this is a NEW RELIGION. Dr. S preaches JUICING but this diet prefers, strongly, you must CHEW your plant based foods for several reasons - one being the bacteria in your TONGUE is activated when you chew, which assists your epithelial cells & nitric oxide. Dr. S is plant based & he's great with a few small differences, but I'm following this as the differences might be crucial & heal my heart disease more quickly. Being all vegan is NOT as effective as this & also more SCIENTIFIC. I follow the science. Thank you Dr. S but I'm moving to a new Guru & new religion of diet - even more profound & healing than yours. Eager to study Dr. Ornish now & hearing his pathway in the beginning & it includes SPIRITUALITY - which FASCINATES me as I'm a self-realized person since 1981 - I saw God Face to Face TWICE. Went to the Other Side, not by death but death to 'self' or 'ego.' So yes, this is good work. Thanks Mr. Kale.

Gaaaaaa i would be so excited to be able to sit down and talk with doug he is incredibly knowledgeable

Dr. Miller is a great doctor. I've done a tele visit with her and she is top notch.

Part 1 of this where he explained his being sick & recovering genesis to me had value, but after that, his trials as a business man leader of groups got really boring, so, good bye Charlie - That's a whole 'nother ballgame & frankly, I find it irrelevant. It's like 'how great I am as an organizer' spiel.

I had been on a whole food plant based diet for 5 years, and still had to have 2 stents put in my heart this year. The doctor said one of the arteries had been likely closed for years with another artery that was now closing that was acting as a bi-pass. The doctors message was that you can influence your hear health with your diet. He was very positive on a whole food plant based diet. He said genetics were also a big factor, and that I should have been on a statin. I blame myself for having such a terrible diet before going plant based. There was too much damage already done.

Gave up cheese immediately after realizing an intestinal blockage was probably due to CHEESE consumed in large quantities! Went plant based ..shortly after. An event like an ER visit is a great awakening & very motivational to change immediately!

Our favorite chef! ❤

. . . thoroughly enjoyed this exchange of ideas between two very kind, respectful health advocates . . . it did get somewhat unpleasant when Rip began repeatedly interrupting Dr Nagra, yet, overall, these 2 men shared valuable knowledge in clear, layman's language that was appreciated...God Bless You Both So Much...🙂

Please create content about Egg alternatives such as Aquafaba and Tofu and even Black Beans. Give people an alternative to this food.

Chef Bai!! Best chef and cookbooks!! ❤

A great short video about dairy industry: Dairy is Scary kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5SxaIZ9fNR2hKssi=jgSQNYacVwx5OFRQ

For more info about the dairy industry check out Dairy is Scary video on KZbin kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5SxaIZ9fNR2hKssi=jgSQNYacVwx5OFRQ

Great episode! Getting the word out about the abusive dairy industry is so important. 🩷🐄 Really looking forward to Chef Bai's book. Her recipes are always delicious and so well explained. 🌱💪

I'm so glad I found you on PLANTSTRONG! I always listen to Rip's lastest guest. I preordered your book on Amazon which wasn't easy because it didn't come up when I typed in the title of your new book coming. Can't wait until I get your cookbook and introduce you to my daughter. You speak in a way that kids will understand.

Yay Chef Bai! Can’t wait for the cook book and I’ll be getting a few to give to family and friends! Thanks Rip for having Chef Bai on your show. Great interview!

Well I’m going to buy some evoo. Creatine and more protein. 🤷🏼

Get him Rip. He’s confused as to who funds the studies he reads

I guess this guy never studied the bad effects of cooking with oil. I believe this info is harmful.

That aging increase of protein has already been studied and not true. Dr Greger.

I just pre-ordered the book. I’m getting it for my family members who can’t give up cheese and milk. I myself have easily removed what I called “the death diet” out of my life after going through an otherworldly spiritual experience. My own personal understanding of the world could greatly help other people in profound ways. The issue with that is finding people who think, act and live differently than the masses. I would really like the opportunity to speak with either Bailey or Kip. It would make a huge difference in so much and help the world become a great deal better for all who live here including animals and the environment. Love to you all!

Great interview.. I’ve been looking for the like-minded community for over 7 years and have found zero people in my area even interested in talking about necessary changes. Any recommendations?

VERY Excited Linda! You had me at Dr Greger ❤🎉

Shes such a special person - joyful and light! Much love and many more years! ❤

3 years ago I thought I couldn’t go a day without cheese…jumped in with both feet, dairy free. Never more happy to be wrong. Dairy free ❤ Plant Based 🌱👩‍🍳💕

My order will go in when I get home!

Awesome info. Insanity!!! Eat real food...

I just pre ordered on Amazon

Fun ! Thank you both !

Cashews are perfect but my daughter is allergic!

What about using truffle powder instead of truffle oil if you’re trying to be oil free? I know Trader Joe’s makes a truffle powder.

Thank you for dedicating your book to the mother cows and for talking about this industry today. More people need to hear this. You’re a rockstar.

Love Chef Bai. I’m a former pizza addict and I worked at Pizza Hut when the stuffed crust pizza came out. I later learned this product was a result of the checkoff program. Such a disgusting program. Thank you for shedding light on the despicable dairy industry and not backing down.

I have been working on my micro biome as of late. I don't consume dairy and was curious abut plant milk Keifer using dairy keifer crystals. Would using them (dairy washed off of course) be OK? Milk keifer produces more and different "bugs" than water keifer crystals. What do you think?

Excellent! Thank you! I will buy your book!❤😊

Is there one or more interviews where you or your dad specifically address the carnivore community who have also improved their health eating only animal based ? Some are thriving. Why are people going back to eating meat?

Great interview! For me, who once said smoked Gouda was the food I would pick if I could only eat only one, watched a few documentaries that showed details of the horrible dairy industry and had to give up dairy immediately. Vegan WFPB for the win.

Great interview.

If anyone is watching this almost 2 years later, eBay has a bunch of the spiral books

Do you know that your vlogs are posted twice? The vlogs are only different by the Vlog Titles being different.

Sending you positive punk-rock NRG, Chef AJ!

I agree that any plants are better, but if a person can afford organic, it's better for the environment. I think it is misguided to think non-organic is the same. Glysophate is known to upset our microbiome. It's better to eat organic oats and grains. How can this be ignored 🙁

I don't understand how olive oil or other plant oils can be promoted as a health food. The Mediterranean diet with oil has better outcomes because it replaces saturated fat. Dr Esselstyn has outcomes showing less oil increases longevity and lowers chances of heart attack/stroke. People who introduced oil experienced angina and a heart event. I don't understand how this dr and Simon Hill interpret the data differently 😕

Thank you--great presentation and discussion. Calorie density for the win. Save yourself, save the planet--Just TRY it, people. The only 'regret' will be, 'Why didn't I do this ages earlier?'

Sorry to hear this. I wonder if you have checked your basement or crawl space for radon? That can be a risk factor for lung cancer. An elderly gentleman vegan here passed away a couple of years ago from lung cancer, so you are not the only one. He was a runner and skinny. I didn't understand that either.

Please, please, please provide in your Description section the studies and their references and their links. This will make your podcast much more useful and professional. It will enable me to better show my health care providers this important impactful information. Thank you!!

Note the statement at 1 hour 41 minutes 11 seconds. Currently 73% of adults in the US are obese or overweight - where on earth does the quoted 33% come from ??? I wish...

It’s concerning that Dr. Nagra appears to underestimate the cumulative exposure to pesticides, herbicides, and other environmental toxins that individuals face daily. The reality is that most studies and safety thresholds focus on single chemicals in isolation, rarely considering the combined or synergistic effects of multiple toxins we’re exposed to over time-a phenomenon often referred to as the “cocktail effect.” Testing for the combined impact of such mixtures on long-term health outcomes is incredibly complex and largely under-researched. Yet, emerging evidence suggests that even low levels of multiple toxins, when combined, may have significant adverse effects on hormonal balance, neurological health, and overall chronic disease risk. For example: • Pesticide residues in food: While each pesticide may fall below a “safe” threshold, the combination of residues from different chemicals may interact in ways that intensify toxicity. • Cumulative exposure: In addition to dietary intake, we’re exposed to toxins via air, water, cosmetics, and household products, compounding the potential risk. • Vulnerable populations: Children, pregnant women, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions may be disproportionately affected by this cumulative exposure. It’s critical for healthcare professionals to recognize and emphasize the importance of minimizing exposure where possible-advocating for organic produce, clean water, and stricter regulation of chemical use. Underestimating or downplaying these risks does a disservice to public health, especially when the long-term effects of these mixtures remain largely untested and potentially underestimated.
