About FullyRawKristina:
Kristina Carrillo-Bucaram lives to inspire a FullyRaw or 100% raw vegan healthy lifestyle. Raw veganism incorporates fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Kristina posts new videos every week that include recipes, tips, tricks, vlogs, motivational, fitness, exercise, and inspiration on how to be the best version of yourself!

[@ManifestingMariah]

I passed out the first time I got my blood drawn! I am vegan too, and I got nearly perfect blood results. :)

[@SenkayHair]

Both my daughter and I had our blood test done a few weeks ago. My daughter has been vegan since birth I've been vegan since 10 years old (now 42) Our results and body weight are superb and the doctor could not believe it. I love this lifestyle and stand by it 110% The fact that you (Christina) are raw vegan and not related to me :) just proves it works if done right. A balance diet is a must for optimum health. I hope that people will incorporate more fruits and veggies into their diet if they choose not to go vegan. This will at least help cut their chances of some illness. God bless and I hope others can learn from this video.

[@lunnaer5442]

I love Kristina's attitude, she gives off this young childlike aura. It's super infectious and makes me just want to smile when I watch her FullyRaw video's!

[@SarahWarman80]

This is awesome! I'm vegan, I do eat raw but not 100% and I also get my blood tested each year. It's feels great to know you're making the right choices!

[@Dr.Aubrey]

One of the best things about your videos, you do not push people to become fully raw. You encourage those who are aspiring to be, and give support to those who are. Yet, you provide great content for a person that just wants to be healthy [me] no labels just healthy, and happy. Peace, Love, and Light ~Namaste

[@TheGizmoMc]

I'm so going to show my parents this! They always are concerned that I'm nutrient deficient, although plenty of meat eaters are extremely nutrient deficient. Thank you so much Kristina, you are such an inspiration! Have a great day :)

[@fullyrawkristina8586]

This is awesome! Thank you for being here! Sending my hugs! :)

[@briannareese9191]

Thank you for being so brave in sharing your lab results. You're so lucky to have found a doctor who agrees with your lifestyle! Wish there were more like him.

[@ckp1720]

Really appreciate hearing your results! Thank you for being willing to share them with us.

[@StephanieBogart]

Wow this is awesome! I have been vegetarian for over 4 years and I have recently quit dairy. Like on Monday. So all that's left is eggs. I think eventually I will be vegan. Thanks for doing this and posting it publicly. What a great doctor too!

[@YaBoiGDubb201]

Eggs aren't vegetarian.

[@fidottt]

there's different kinds of vegetarian..... i think you're referring to vegan which is strictly plant-based diet

[@PhoenixEryaXX3]

George Wells Eggs and dairy are vegetarian. You are referring to vegans.

[@Homebusinessesideas]

just make sure you eat pasture raised eggs which are high in omega 3 regular eggs are high in omega 6 which causes inflammation

[@beautifulL52]

I really enjoy her attitude. Your just so joyful and your skin is beautiful! it is glowing and vibrant, it looks so healthy. You have a beautiful soul!

[@charlottecady9417]

huh. my iron level was 9 and some days i feel like i can't get out of bed. At my university they require their athletes to be at a 12 to compete. So yes I am anemic, and I'm surprised this doctor said she wasn't.

[@celested6181]

I know. I'm anemic and my ferritin is higher than hers...I have found a lot of doctors don't know a lot about anemia or how to diagnose and treat it. Normal lab results don't really mean much.

[@celested6181]

tumba lone I don't buy supplements from my doctor or a pharmacy. Have you ever had anemia? Do you know anything about it even? Like wow, people can die from it you idiot. Where I live supplements are not sold by doctors, nor are they covered by any insurance.

[@nntflow7058]

Depends on your activity and food.

[@dsanchez08]

Her iron is borderline. The high total iron binding capacity combined with low range ferritin indicates iron insufficiency. Iron serum levels are unreliable and physicians are taught that ferritin (along with other values measured in an iron profile) is the more significant value. Her rdw was also increased which indicates the beginnings of a deficiency (basically it means it's just beginning to change the size of the red blood cells), it's all complicated medical speak from there so I'll save everyone explanations of the finer details. Iron is very rich in leafy greens like spinach but it's less bioavailable than the heme form of iron present in meat source and therefore vegans and vegetarians are especially susceptible to having low levels. Source: I study medicine.

[@thelegendofmaddi3526]

So, just because the doctor says you have cancer, doesn't mean you do? Because they just want to make money off of you, right? SMH. I guess I'll go be my own doctor and stop taking the medicine I need. Lmfao.

[@shequitawhiting5521]

I am still learning from and sharing your recipes! I have shared your channel with everyone I know, I am determined to go fully raw one day! Continue to inspire, you ray of sunshine!

[@fullyrawkristina8586]

Thank you all for your love and support the past 9 years! Always be safe and get checked. We all come from different places and different past experiences that make our paths different. Best part is that we know eating fruits and veggies is GOOD for us. If we do our parts, our bodies can do the rest! Blessings to you all!

[@fishball3421]

Yw!😛

[@MonAdieu]

FullyRawKristina Kristina, please, check your youtube inbox asap. It's very important, I just sent you a message.

[@jessicawhyte3391]

This is awesome Kristina! Great to share the message and show you can be a very healthy vegan. You are so inspiring - keep doing what your doing! :) xx

[@dmv-gang-for-life7381]

Thanks for sharing, very interesting. You look very healthy. Your soul shines very bright, you beautiful Rainbow...

[@rolfpoelman3486]

do our part

[@reachtrita]

Wow! This is awesome!!! I knew the results would be great, and this has reaffirmed my beliefs. Thank you for showing us and being the living example of a healthy, non-violence lifestyle.

[@sugarapple5465]

This is the coolest doctor ever! Wow I'm so glad when I see doctors advocating veganism.

[@juliadreads]

This truly inspires me to be 100% raw. Thank you for your videos and positivity

[@MsDestinyHarris]

I recently had blood work done as well 10 days after you. I've been vegan for 2 years (except for cheese when we go out) and I do eat some cooked food, at least one meal a day. My bloodtest results were very close to yours!!! I'm happy! Congrats!

[@ElegantlyBrown]

Am I the only one who is just mesmerized by that hunk of a doctor? That doctor must be a hearth breaker.

[@adampugsley2608]

Start of a porno.

[@Secretzstolen]

Lol Omg me too! !! Is he single? !? Lol

[@SheDeviI]

That VEGAN hunk of a doctor!

[@fullyrawkristina8586]

He's pretty rad. His family is beautiful too. :)

[@Bay6768]

If my Doctor looked like him, I'd pretend to be sick everyday :)

[@nea1186]

I got chills watching this bc this will help ppl switch over! Ty Kristina!

[@TheVeganKate]

This was a terrific video! I loved that you were sharing your experience with the doctor! thanks so much!

[@mario1121703]

Kristina gives way better advise than that banana girl freeley on KZbin. Also doesn't talk down or judge people who aren't vegan unlike that other girl. You're a wonderful person Kristina. I love your videos even though I'm not vegan but still use your recipes to lean up a little. Keep up the good work!

[@sugarhills1868]

yes how to get poor eating fullyraw w/ no backup plan smh. Love BG's real world advice.

[@mario1121703]

***** thank you for the advice :) I really appreciate it!!

[@fullyrawkristina8586]

For those who are asking, my triglycerides are OK. They show high but that's because eating any carbs (especially fruits after you have gone some hours without eating) makes triglycerides go up. Given my perfect cholesterol levels it is nothing to worry about. Any food that had carbs will mobilize fat. Vegans often will test high in TG but have far less risk of heart disease.

[@Borreguita89]

She is right.

[@1corin1013]

kmfurr1 Post a pic of your blood results and lets see how healthy you are!

[@SaneMillennial]

But didn't you get your blood drawn while you were fasting for at least 8 hours? That's how you're supposed to do it. My trigs are awesome (80) and I eat lots of carbs too, but fasted the night before and had blood drawn that morning.

[@1corin1013]

***** This diet is not for every metabolic type, but it is for many people. It clearly rids people of their health problems, so it seems worth a shot. And when I say that other people who are judging this lifestyle should show their complete metabolic panel, it's because people can Monday night quarterback something all they want from the sidelines without any experience or credibility to back it up. Their perspective is irrelevant unless they can prove they know what they're talking about and not just being another ignorant judgmental commenter.

[@BlissBlessHappiness]

I enjoy an uncooked plant based, vegan diet; and my triglycerides were ridiculously low! And so were that of my partner who basically follows a similar dietary pattern.

[@thejuliateresa]

This is so inspiring! Thank you for making this video :) I've been skeptical myself about how healthy raw veganism really is, but this video really helped debunk the myths I've heard.

[@francineinsogna2103]

love this!!! congrats on 9+ years! you are very inspirational =)

[@Ninitschga]

so showing this to my hubby because he is really giving me a hard time and is not supporting my choice to go vegan at all... but hopefully this will change his mind.

[@fullyrawkristina8586]

Woo hooo! Amazing! :)

[@Ninitschga]

wow - so many likes - i want to give a quick shout out to everyone who is not only fighting against their old eating habits but is also experiencing rejection and discouragement from friends and family. people don't like changes and most of the time they fear what they don't understand. it takes a lot of passion and courage to choose a new path but in the end it will be worth it! so let's stick to the things that make us feel good, strong, healthy, beautiful and happy and help the people around us choose curiosity instead of fear!

[@EvelineUK]

Please remember that blood results are very personal. Make sure you have yours checked regularly if you think of going down this path.

[@Ninitschga]

EvelineUK You are so right! I went vegan in 2014 and I just had my blood testet a few weeks ago and it turned out that I don't need to supplement with Vitamin B12 as much (for whatever reason) as I thought. So now I only take it twice per week and I'm fine. Every body responds differently and so I totally agree with you - just because this works for Kristina does not mean it's gonna work for all people in the same way.

[@PotatoStrong]

Amazing results! Don't listen to the naysayers. My tris are 131, total cholesterol 112.5, B12 normal, amazing blood pressure and pulse at 45 years old on a starch-based low fat no oil diet.

[@UnumsedLeonem]

What a fine rapport between the two! I wouldn't mind such an amiable, personable and progressive doctor, either. Bravi!

[@katiesmith-di3mr]

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I love this video so much! Everytime you smile and laugh i just cant help but to do it too! That doctor has a contaigeous smile as well! What good news that your labs are PERFECT. Such a long way you have come in your health, going from sick to completly healthy with perfect labs is so awesome! Thanks for sharing this, It made my day watching all this happiness! Love you

[@Zhongli885]

Dr. Garth Davis is an amazing doctor, I am so happy for your collaboration and friendship for the same goal

[@YvonneMouhlen]

awesome.... very very awesome...!!!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@sarahrocks1820]

Hi Kristina, after your video about B-12 deficiency, you made it seem like being raw vegan was the "perfect" diet and that there was no need for supplements. I really wish you emphasized the importance of taking B-12 supplements more in this lifestyle.

[@amydignam623]

your so so so cute! im so happy for you kristina! you deserve good health after all the time and energy you have spent researching and acting on the information you find! your so inspirational! love love love love love you FullyRawKristina xxxxxxx

[@gisellesoldati3319]

Yaaay that is so very awesome!! Congrats, girl! And thanks always for sharing your journey with us and inspiring us! ;)

[@FosterGuitar]

Hi Kristina, Kudos for sharing your blood test results. You are very young and your test results are good overall; however, there are a few things you should be aware of: Commonly, people with high triglycerides have a tendency to have low HDL "good" cholesterol levels. HDL is the good cholesterol which has a protective effect against cardiovascular disease. Epidemiological studies have shown that high concentrations of HDL (over 60 mg/dL) have protective value against cardiovascular diseases such as ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction. Low concentrations of HDL (below 40 mg/dL for men, below 50 mg/dL for women) increase the risk for atherosclerotic diseases. This is something I'm sure you'll discuss with the doctor who conducted your blood work. Since you are very young, you may not consider this as a cause for concern at present, but you should keep track of this as time goes on. The negative impact of high triglycerides and low HDL is cumulative over time. The triglyceride/HDL "good" cholesterol ratio should be below 2. Just remember to divide your triglyceride levels by your HDL "good" cholesterol. In a nutshell the triglyceride/HDL level which is considered ideal is 2 or less; 4 is high and 6 or greater is considered too high. In this case it is better to have a lower ratio. The lower your triglycerides or the higher your HDL, the smaller the ratio. Many doctors and researchers are finding the triglyceride/HDL ratio to be one of the better predictors of heart disease. I know that you were diagnosed with hyperglycemia in the past - this is in line with your high triglyceride reading. High triglycerides don't cause diabetes. Instead, their levels indicate that your system for turning food into energy isn't working properly. Normally, your body makes insulin, which “escorts” glucose -- the type of sugar in your blood --inside your cells. There, your body turns glucose into energy. Insulin also allows your body to use triglycerides for energy. A common cause of high triglycerides in your blood is insulin resistance; that’s when your cells won’t let insulin, or its companion glucose, inside your cells. As a result, both glucose and triglycerides build up in your blood. Your doctor can do a blood test to see if you have insulin resistance. When you have insulin resistance , the insulin level in your blood is too high, and you’re one step closer to type 2 diabetes. Just keep track of your blood markers and you should be able to make appropriate modifications and still remain a healthy vegan. M. Plug, MPH

[@vinceschappell8135]

Interesting about the TG/HDL-c ratio as a predictor. Since reading your post I checked out some research on this ratio on PubMed. TG is not an issue for me so I never ran across this relationship. You, for sure, helped others. Thanks for sharing.

[@hitssquad]

Vince Schappell > TG is not an issue for me What is your TG level? If it's over 60 mg/dl, you should be concerned.

[@vinceschappell8135]

TG/HDL < 1, with TG = 59 as of last month. To my knowledge, < 60 mg/dL for TG would be a good range for someone with pre-existing cardiovascular disease. < 80 mg/dL TG would be a good optimum range to normally use from what I've read. Personally, I am aming for under 80 but have been no higher than 63 for a number of years. Looking good!

[@hitssquad]

Vince Schappell That's impressive. Are you vegan? Do consume a lot of coconut oil?

[@vinceschappell8135]

hitssquad Not a vegan. Do consume coconut oil/milk... your guess was right on. Probably more important than what I eat is what I don't eat/drink. No/very low sugar, no breads, no night shades, no dairy (except I do use Kerrygold butter which is from grass-fed cows), etc. FullyRawKristina does wonders at staying organic but for my body, additionally I eat grass-fed/finished meat, wild fish like salmon, sardines, mackerel and liver since it's a high nutrient density meat. Not to be confused with a Paleo diet but most of my calories are fat and therefore I switch my body over to burning fat instead of carbs for the last year. For those who don't know, this is a ketogenic diet. My advise to everyone is to know your blood test results and tweak your diet based on your numbers. Everyone has their own issues due to slight variations in their genetic code - ie DNA.

[@MsMACChic]

I love Dr. Garth! He is such a great doctor, very informative! He performed my gastric bypass in 2009. I don't eat meat or pork, occasionally chicken but I'm to the point where it makes me sick thinking about it. I would really love to make a change for my health. I've gained back about 50 pounds of the 120 lost. Looking forward to trying your recipes! :)Susan

[@coreytheisen6948]

That a serious surgery

[@dianawestrup7416]

Congrats, Kristina. You are definitely an inspiration for us mere mortals... There's always room for improvement... Thanks for your enthusiasm and expertise. So valuable

Wow, I am so amazed that you would put this out there to everyone! Way to take one for the cause. You are an amazing trooper I would have told people to piss off, who told me I wasnt healthy. A true leader, Leading by examples and proof, not smoke and mirrors!

[@rnwks2008]

[@jghanesh]

Very inspiring 👍

[@bartlettje]

I don't think I could go vegan, but I have changed my diet recently and I am eating a whole lot more fruit and vegies , mostly raw, and I feel so much healthier for it. My skin is clearer, hair and nails stronger, even my eyelashes have grown thicker! This is all thanks to you :)

[@jen.morales-correa]

Congratulations on your results! This experiment really means a lot to me, because you dealt with something that you are a bit uncomfortable with (needles -- me too ;_;) to show something very valuable. This information is something that I genuinely appreciate because it gives me some goals to work towards. Thanks so much for being such an inspiration!

[@valkyriesanborn189]

I am vegan but I eat lots of healthy fats and my total cholesterol was 157. My ldl was 65 and my hld was 75. My trigercerides were 85. I am not a particularly naturally healthy person that's why I went vegan and heart disease runs in my family. I eat 2 avocados a day 1/2 of a cup of cashews and 2 tablespoons of flaxseed oil.

[@dessertcat36]

Sit down when you give blood, please (regardless it is for lab or donating blood). Or make sure that the 'patient' is seated! That is phlebotomy 101. And that was a 21 G green top butterfly needle, so no worries, it will not hurt :-) Regarding your CBC at 4:59: although your values are in the normal range (except RDW), but the normal range does not necessary mean optimal range (OR). OR tends to be a narrower interval. Given this, your Hgb, MCH, MCHC is closer to the lower limit than to be normal (even it is said to be normal). Since MCH = Hbg/RBC, and MCHC = MCHC/MCV, and MCV = Hct/RBC, everything comes down to the 1. RBC, and then to the Hct and Hgb values. This can be due to the fact of that the person if a female (premenopausal) or diet. However, when I arrived to 5:09, there were major caveats. First, because I cannot recall every single range in my mind, I thought that the lower interval of your Se Fe (iron) is somewhat lower as I recalled. So, I googled it (shame on me). Someone, please help me out how "30" was found to be the lowest limit of the serum interval whereas it should be around 60 (mcg/dl). Your UIBC high, % transferrin saturation low, your ferritin is closer to the lower limit (7, where the interval 5 - 204!), TIBC is closer to the higher limit (420, where the interval is 228-428!), and here is mysterious serum iron level 35 (again, someone please insert a link showing that 30 is the lowest limit of the normal range). I am so sorry to say, but looking at the above results (including the CBC, iron profile and the calculated values), but you are very close to having a diagnosis of iron deficiency (+anemia). Because you are under 30, I don't even think that the CHD risk calculator would work on anyone under 30 :-) (besides the value itself is calculated). Your HDL level is low (especially in your age and with your excellent exercise regimen), NOT normal(!), so to increase it, only the diet can be counted on (well, some say niacin, too). Your triglyceride is high probably due to the high carbohydrate intake (from fruits, assuming). Your vitamin B12 is super high (at 7:20), which is kind of surprising, especially when the B-group is removed by urine (water soluble vitamins). I would also have loved to see results of the liver and kidney functions shown. I am sorry again to say, but in at you age, with a diet that you consider in the US unhealthy, I had much better results (actually perfect ones), even if my only exercise was going from one patient to another one. Now, having said the above, don't get me wrong: I love FullyRawKristina's videos, I adore the encouragement someone can get from them, and I am actually considering myself to go vegan (maybe not fully raw, and definitely with occasional cheating). Actually, I am on day 2 now, and suffering as hell :-( I respect the help you are providing for the farmers living around, and I would love to see more videos, because you truly rock! I will definitely visit one of the pick-ups here in Houston soon. PS. I would not have been in his place... it is very difficult to go on video and open up a conversation with the potential that not all feedbacks will be positive. I would not do it for sure.

[@ChyarasKiss]

WHO consider USA's B12 levels to be too low. usa= 200-350pg/ml is 'normal' In Japan and Europe, the lower limit for B12 is between 500-550 pg/mL, the level associated with psychological and behavioral manifestations such as cognitive decline, dementia and memory loss. a great article i read. chriskresser.com/b12-deficiency-a-silent-epidemic-with-serious-consequences

[@dessertcat36]

Well, to tell you the truth, I don't rely on web sites that refers you to further testing for x dollar :-) I generally read articles on PubMed. There are a few major things people always forget about: 1. B12 deficiency will result in pernicious anemia. and 2. low B12 vitamin levels may be due to inefficient/nonexistent intrinsic factor production by the stomach's parietal cells. These things should be also considered upon the assessment of B12 levels.

[@Kamalajaja]

she is sitting..

[@dessertcat36]

Forgive me: I meant that the phlebotomist has to sit while taking blood.

[@Pilarfitvegas]

Hi- love your channel. Your triglycerides were over 200!!!! Very high - did your doctor talk about this??

[@gmnotyet]

Her ratio of TG:HDL, 210/43 = almost 5, is scary high. But you can't tell vegans anything about lipidology. They think the only thing that matters is LDL.

GREAT VIDEO KRISTINA! THANK YOU FOR SHARING

[@biancairis93]

Kristina I truly admire you, well done. Keep inspiring us xx

[@Madeleine.....]

Very low iron,very low ferritin.My iron is 45 and ferritin 23 and with such result I'm doing everything to increase both the levels so I started to eat meat as an experiment on myself I would say.I'm giving myself half a year.One of the side effect of eating meat was that after 2 months my B12 level increased from 260 to 455.I will check iron and ferritin in 2 months.

[@bornintheGLaMouRx3]

so refreshing to see a doctor not shoving the meat and dairy food products down their patients throats

[@michelleking1008]

WOW you are such an inspiration! Thank you so much for sharing Kristina.

I am Urinating better! Walking with more confidence and have taken NO supplements for 5 Days since starting! Blessings and love Adrian

[@TheMamacitta]

Love your videos... I got a question one how would someone that has diabetes go fully raw? FullyRawKristina

[@TRIANGLEEARTH]

what do you use for b12? is it rawvegan? thanks Otto

[@Paloma19405]

Wow Kristina, this is seriously awesome. I've lived most of my life unhealthy. But the last two months I have cut out almost all of the processed foods I used to eat (which is huge for me!!) And begun a healthier lifestyle. Already I notice I have more energy, my face is more clear, hair has grown at an inch and looks so much shinier! You are a great motivation for me. Putting good in really makes you feel good on the outside! :) ♡♡♡♡

[@Jahspecs1]

Thanks a lot Kristina! This was absolutely awesome!!!

[@tallieallen397]

This a great video!!! I'm sharing for sure :) May I ask why you started supplementing with b12? In your past video about b12 you said your weren't b 12 deficient and therefore not supplementing. Did you end having a deficiency? Thank you very much! Bless you !

[@nickpiazza2277]

Well - a b12 deficiency can take years to show up on a blood test. She probably did have low b12 levels and it just surfaced later. I think all vegans should take a supplement just like the doctor said. It's super important and b12 actually absorbs better through a supplement than through food. If you supplement make sure you take a methlycobalamin and not a cyanocobalamin. It's more bioavailable that way.

[@cnypilot]

Nick Piazza Not simply veg*ns. All people should supplement with B12. :)

[@TimShieff]

Amaaaazing!

This is Awesome. I was smiling the whole way through this video! Its making me want to incorporate more raw meals into my diet :)

[@KlaireeBerry]

Great vid, girl! Best one of yours I've seen

[@joshuanewbill7406]

Try intracellular testing. Since certain nutrients is located inside the cell and can't be accurately tested if your just doing blood test outside the cell!

[@fullyrawkristina8586]

MY BLOOD TEST RESULTS: 9+ Years +FullyRaw Vegan! Are vegans nutrient deficient? Can you be healthy not eating meat, dairy, or even cooked foods? See my intensive blood test results after being a FullyRaw vegan for 9+ years! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n37VaJWGaq6Im6c

[@jazmincontreras109]

How long do you spend out in the sun? Your vitamin D is very impressive. :)

[@Shasha8674]

Jazmin Contreras 41 for Vit D is low. It controls the immune system. Around 80 is good.

[@deyisa]

Hi Kristina :) you are such a inspiration! I ve given up dairy, gluten and processed foods like 4 years ago...but i still ate a little meat ( ca. once a week) and ocaisonaly eggs.I felt good just not great..half a year ago i became vegan and during the summer i was mostly raw..I had my BLOOD TESTED and everything is GREAT even B12 (without supplement). Im deffinitely keeping it up :) Greetings from Slovakia :*

[@Shasha8674]

deiysa Vit B12 test may not work since green vegetables may make the test be high, but the person may be really low in Vit B12. Green vegetables have analogs of Vit B12 but they may not help the same as the animal sources of Vit B12. I was crashing in Vit B12....destroyed my brain. I am only ok due to the Vit B12 methylcobalamin shot daily. Best wishes.

[@deyisa]

Shasha8674 Thank you for the tip, I was not aware of that... I thought the levels are fine since i haven´t been doing it for too long and I was thinking of getting a supplement anyway after seeing this video. But after reading your comment, I´ll definitely do so :) thanks again

[@nomkitteh]

Thank you so much for this video Kristina!

[@gurubrahman]

They both look so amazing! So jelly!

[@cvthigpen]

Why didn't you guys mention the elevated triglycerides and discuss why they are elevated?

[@Islandmamamel]

What about your fasting glucose?

[@catherinezuppero7609]

You ROCKED it!!! Well done, Kristina!! You inspire!

[@TheCalliopeSky]

That is so awesome, thank you for this video!!!

[@harmonyrose856]

The triglycerides were higher than normal (210); since this is fat derived, can you explain why that is, if you are 80/10/10? It seems a little odd but maybe there's an explanation for it?

[@Big_Tex]

High triglycerides do not result usually from eating fat, they result from eating carbs (probably fructose especially). Yes triglycerides are blood fats, but no, high levels in the blood do not result from dietary fat, they come from carbs, and especially so in an insulin-resistant person eating carbs. That's where they get really high. This may sound counter-intuitive but that happens to be the way the human body works. Your body has no difficulty converting fructose into fat triglycerides, which are then transported around the body in LDL particles. If I ate as much fruit as Kristina I'd probably have trigs of 400 - 500.

[@harmonyrose856]

Thanks kmfurr1! I did find this research that substantiates what you say: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3032722/

[@Big_Tex]

Yep Harmony Rose, I've learned a thing or two in recent years ;)

[@harmonyrose856]

That's life's journey isn't it - learning :)

[@VegAnns]

ive been vegan 9 years and fats around 15-20%. My diet is high in vegetables but not that high in fruit. my bloodtests are perfect and triglycerides 56

[@jmeninadeduval848]

Your doctor is hot.

[@fullyrawkristina8586]

He's an amazing and intelligent man and friend.

[@pamberryman4978]

Great video. I must show this to my husband who tells me Im wrong and that we should be eating meat. You're such a inspiration Kristina :-) I wish I will one day be as committed as you. Love and peace to you xx

[@stephanienewcomb9790]

I just found you and I've been an off and on vegetarian/vegan, and you've inspired me and I'll definitely be a regular watcher :)

[@BeLiftedBeautyandBoutique]

Going back to vegan. Your doctor is right. My doctor said a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle would be better for me because I am vitamin D deficient and acid reflex, high BP and few other problems for years of eating meat. Eating meat hasn't been good to me.

[@TheAndyVegan]

Vegan Doc is a cutie XD

[@jtlbb2]

High triglycerides, low HDL (giving a ratio of 5, when less than 2 is optimal), Vitamin D in the 40s while the optimal minimum is 50, and blood A1c is 5.4% when closer to 5.0% is the goal for optimal blood glucose regulation... hate to tell you this, but this wasn't impressive.

[@lendoggy2]

Thanks for your videos Kristina. You're my hero! You inspire me so much to lift my game and improve my diet.

[@lizmariewest1514]

Thanks Kristina for sharing your inspiring results.

[@mszkut25]

32 here and i eat whatever i wont just no junk food. and my blood results are perfect. but im always on the run or at the gym. so vegan diet has nothing to do with health. it depends on the person and life style. gym that's my medication and im not even muscular

[@blumusdu]

I really think the key is eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. I think people fail on this lifestyle from lack of abundance.

[@Cocoluv2004]

Kristina you're awesome, you motivated me me to stay fully raw, thumbs up

[@Aunaturalhealthandfitness]

Awesome! I just saw you in a magazine with Dr. Garth Davis :)

[@raulrola3449]

Genesis 1: 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

[@TAP-wi2fm]

Meat meant food back in the day. They changed animal's flesh name to meat to make it subliminaly food for the subconscious

[@anamelia4]

I was B12 deficient EATING meat, which I quit now! I love Dr. Garth!

[@Sarahlinii]

I enjoyed this video, I'm so glad you made it. To see an actual professional/specialist SUPPORT a Vegan lifestyle is truly awesome, we need more Doctors like this! Not to mention.. he's very easy on the eyes, just sayin'. haha. Lovely video!

[@luisbonnet3957]

Thank you for this video. It clears up many questions I had about things I have heard out there about deficiencies.

[@campcawaii16]

i've been a vegetarian for 9 years, i try to cut out a lot of dairy and carbs out of my diet too, and when i just got my blood tests back a few days ago it showed everything was good for me too, except for needing to take b12 :)

[@thatbroyouknow9711]

Yeah that’s because you’re designed to eat animals. It’s like trying to move objects with your mind. It’s insane.

[@cicciomattese]

@@thatbroyouknow9711 farm animals take B12 supplement too

[@TrishLovesVNV]

What about your triglyceride levels? Normal is

[@MsLaurjean]

I think a few people commented bc it wasn't fasting blood work.

[@rnwks2008]

because it wouldn't fit their pre-conceived narrative

[@hollyxo.]

Thank you so much for doing that test and showing this video! This presentation could help so many people and I will use it to show people whenever I hear them express some of these concerns about a vegan lifestyle. Plus, watching this just helped relieve some concerns I've heard, especially in the iron area. I have been anemic and have heard enough iron can be gotten from produce, but people in the medical industry tend to not think so and can make frightening arguments. I've noticed that as I consume a lot of fresh veggies my cheek coloring seems to be better than when I was really low in hemoglobin. I've also read that animal products much up your bone marrow so it leaves one to wonder if the mucked up bone marrow would tend to yield lousier quality blood anyway.

[@veganfortheworld9249]

Hey Kristina (: This is absolutely awesome! I'm a 14 year-old vegan from Germany and my parents do always say, that I don't get enough vitamins, iron and calcium. They don't want me to do it, but I'm convinced, that it's the best for my health and my body. Thank you, for your great support! You give me so much power and you are an amazing woman! Oh, and I'm absolutely in LOVE with your FullyRaw banana ice cream❤️😊

[@lifewithabang]

Kristina, was that chemistry? Date the Doctor!

[@fullyrawkristina8586]

He is married with 2 beautiful daughters. We are just friends. :)

[@11JadeStone11]
