I so admire this fine man and all of his family, as I know everyone reading this does too. He has changed our lives for the better.

[@marly1869]

Yes he has..🥰🙏🏼💜💜💜

[@angelahill3556]

Dr Esselstyn is one of my whole food plant based heros. His research among other Drs helped me lose 175 lbs.

[@mattzilla331]

How amazing is Dr. Esselstyn?

[@marly1869]

Amazing!! Love him! Grateful that listening to him and his family has transformed my diet and future..🙏🏼💜

[@freeian2]

Met him at a medical conference. Saw him come in and sit down at a nearby table. Soon there after, another conference attendee joined his table with a breakfast buffet plate filled with bacon, sausage, eggs. Gentleman had no idea who he was sitting next to.

[@roseker3288]

OMG, I am so excited that you presented three of the Godfathers of functional medicine, who are teaching us the basics of preventing and reversing disease. I can’t wait to share these interviews with receptive people. Chef AJ you are truly a Goddess of health by food, leading by good example✨I am a five year vegan , early childhood vegetarian, still learning so much about food as medicine. I am with the group of humans who want to help heal our planet through improving our human condition. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your influence. I feel renewed faith in this movement and honored to be a part of it. I love you! You guys are the superheroes, whom we will cherish for generation to come🌠🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@blee309]

I love Dr. Esselstyn and he doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He is just real! Thank so much for this interview!

[@cybrarian9]

Great presentation. Thank you. I sure wish all of this could be "downloaded" into the brains of every doctor, therapist, PA, nurse, and every other health professional, not to mention chefs, cooks, and anyone else in the food industry, let alone all those folks in the pharmaceutical industry. To be blunt, anything that has the word "industry" after it makes me extremely leary.

[@abircocci8157]

Having to Live with one of the worse sickness can be exhausting but I still have to believe I can be healed.

[@abircocci8157]

@Casey Muller That’s nice, I have Been diagnosed with a cancer and I will definitely need her help and would also want to know how to get in touch with her. I hope she cures other sickness also?

[@abircocci8157]

@Casey Muller Thank you a lot you are a life saver. I have found her website on the internet.

[@tinalaplaca6638]

Chef AJ you find the best to have show and tell time which makes your programs successful. l went back to watch this from the beginning and l enjoyed it to the fullest........(l think Bill Clinton is also a fan of his, if l remember correctly)

[@H-jb4tf]

YES! Been on it for the last 5 years. Read his awesome book and the china study. I am my own living proof.

No dairy for years now. Every time I listen to him, I make it more and more days 💯 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💜💜💜💜 Many have suffered with CVD in my family and my mother suffered for decades, she had a 6-vessel heart bypass and passed due to a massive aneurysm 😢

Brilliant teachers! Life savers!

[@joanowens7941]

What a generous man to give of his time. I love Dr. Esslestyn.

[@victoriaalbert3381]

What an amazing presentation! He makes a difficult topic understandable. Thanks Dr E for this inspiring talk I so enjoyed it and took down notes.

[@AH-cy4md]

He speaks of a man who reversed his blockages with dietary change, but his doctors were not interested in how he had achieved these results😳 That’s both shocking and sad, how could they not?

[@withgratitude2328]

I have been following Dr. Esslestyn's diet for 1-1/2 years after learning I had significant blockage in three of my coronary arteries. I'm getting a follow-up angiogram later this month and I'm really hoping to see some dramatic results. I just wish I didn't wait 60 years to go plant-based and get rid of sugar, oil and nuts in my diet.

[@SamShank175]

If you look at the actual study on post war Norway, heart attacks had been on the rise there since the beginning of the century, suggesting that it wasn't the food that they had always eaten, but rather something new. The study and articles about the study say that heart attacks dropped after the war because of a combination of reduced smoking and reduced trans fats. The trans fats, like those found in vegetable oils, margarines and packaged baked goods, had started to rise in use at the beginning of the century, but were hard to come by after the war. Norway today has one of the strictest bands on trans fats.

[@doddsalfa]

When the Nazi took over they also did take all live stock and the heart attack numbers did fall dramatically

[@doddsalfa]

“Nazi's confiscated most livestock/farm animals in Norway to supply troops thus resulting in a drastic reduction in Norwegian deaths by cardiovascular disease. ... “

[@gloriagrev7781]

Wow - thank you, Dr Esselstyn!

You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health. Lower stress, reduce obesity and more exercise are key to a healthy life. Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world. Fast food and sugary drinks are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity. Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly. Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer. Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game. A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility. Ride to work, ride to school, ride for fun. Every city should be a bicycle city. Speak up for bicycles in your community

[@ahmadmulhim8872]

What a great man.

[@goodmanvolley]

Well, there are differing opinions. For example, it has never been shown that meat causes inflamation which is the cause of blood clots. I find many who say seed oils are the culprit along with insulin resistance which comes from not being able to metabolize carbs and sugar. Though some believe that you can be safe from a plant-based diet of starches and carbs, I am unconvinced.

[@jackiefox7326]

Thank you so much AJ

[@CHEFAJ]

You're welcome!

[@unflappable3551]

If people aren’t convinced about the absolute health benefits of being plant based by this presentation, they never will be. But, there will always be people like smokers, who even after seeing the truth, will still ignore the evidence and continue to destroy their health. To those people I say, go for it.

[@laurabrim5062]

Hi AJ, you have an amazing show and do such a great job with guests and questions for them. I love the Esselstyn family and all your plant based guests. I have a question for one of the doctors on the show. I have been plant-based for ~2yr. I have a family history of high blood pressure and strokes, but have never had these things myself. I did have high, good cholesterol before going plant-based and had borderline high blood pressure. Now my cholesterol is very low but still in normal range and my mean platlet volume is very high, but also still technically in normal range (barely). My doctor says that the low cholesterol can be a risk factor for strokes. Should I be worried?

[@CHEFAJ]

If you have a question for a dr. please send it to: [e-mail]

[@daniellalambert9941]

I have not find anyone ever talk about Familial hypercholesterolemia or homozygous cholesterol. Those can't be cured with a diet, diet will help a little but it is a topic I would like to hear about.

[@LenkaSaratoga]

Thank you, Dr Esselstine! 14:00 nitric oxide

[@josefrancisco8408]

I knew a man, a Hindu, and of course a vegetarian from birth. Never tasted meat all his life. But he was big, overweight and had diabetes. I guess because of too much oil in his food. He had a stroke. It must be true: NO OIL.

Ghee, along with all dairy products, is so bad for one’s health. It’s a shame that it’s next to impossible to find an Indian restaurant that doesn’t put that stuff in everything, it’s so culturally ingrained.

[@judismith1360]

I am just seeing this video. I wish I would not have been at work and could have watched this live. I will be undergoing an aortic valve replacement in the very near future and would like to know if a wfpb diet will help prolong the life of the valve as it does in the arteries.

[@reontebrugge7346]

Any diet that is good for arteries, will definitely benifit the heart aswell

[@numbernine8571]

listen to this part of the video about restoring nitric oxide by chewing steamed greens with vinegar to restore nitric oxide. 22:00

[@sandralooney6461]

How about vegan yogurt made from cashew or coconut? Assuming that is a no. I am doing this diet but wondering about the quantity of nuts that are acceptable.

[@christinescott441]

I would love Dr E to address why no coffee / caffeine please.

[@carlbernngl]

I think it was because of some newer study from Italy that showed it reduced endothelial cell function, got that from another video

[@jazzbirdbecky]

What about electric rhythm problems?

[@sheilamorgan5926]

The link to your instapot good won't work - any suggestions? GREAT GREAT SHOW! Thanks for all you do!!

[@CHEFAJ]

please send an email to [e-mail]

[@cathyenglish8500]

I was told by cardiologist that it would be impossible to reduce arteries that are 99 and 95 percent blocked. If I start this strict way of eating will it reverse this issue?

[@markwiener1091]

If one has a saphenous graft or worse, a stented saphenous graft, they become dependent on an endothelium formed on the interior of a vein or a stent in a vein. It may not be possible to have a healthy endothelium inside a saphenous graft or stent on food alone. The time to do WFPB is prior to grafts or stenting. Sadly still, very few are given a choice by their doctors.

[@richgl31]

“May” -another we don’t know for sure.

[@mathsfreak69]

What would be the advice regarding anticoagulants? I take rivaroxaban due to having atrial fibrillation but all the advice I can find is to take it with a fat heavy meal, and that insoluble fibre can interfere with the absorption of it. I follow a wfpbno diet and have been vegan for 11 years

[@cliftonjones5431]

Try Dr McDougall heart seminar on youtube , he answers questions on atrial fibrillation and drugs. He's a regular with Chef AJ

[@mathsfreak69]

​@@cliftonjones5431I'll do that, thanks

[@sciencelabvideosl7558]

24:50 Why do the green leafy vegetables need to be boiled or steamed? Does anyone know? I have watched Dr Esslestyn say that the veggies need to be steamed or boiled in several videos , but nobody asked him if they can be eaten raw with the vinegar.

[@CHEFAJ]

For dr. questions, please send to: [e-mail]

[@jillmorton3096]

Not sure if you can answer me but I was told by my surgeon that I'm an anomaly. 2 weeks ago I had a major heartattack and had two stints put in while running with my sons dog. For the last 4 years, I dont eat oils, meats chicken fish , dairy or eggs. I only eat whole clean foods, no oils. I have always had normal blood tests, I dont have high blood pressure glucose etc. Im not overweight and very active. I have gone from only taking vitamins to pills I cant pronounce, one of which is antorvasatatin. ( which I'm totally against as a statin) my goal is to be off everything in a year except baby aspirin. Do you think that's possible? Do you think I had the heart attack from eating a western diet up until the last 4 years? I have been rather emotional about this, many of my friends who know me are also perplexed. 🙄

[@jillmorton3096]

Interesting. I have had so many blood tests. I will look into that this week. Thank you 😊

[@shaylafowler6183]

I have a friend also that was wfpbno and just had 2 heart attacks, I'm perplexed but have been looking into metabolic health and learning all I can!

[@numbernine8571]

listen to the section where the doctor talks about increasing nitric oxide to heal the endothilial lining of the blood vessels. it involves chewing green leafy vegetables with vinegar 6 times a day. it starts at the twelve minute mark of the video. just click on this link. 12:00

[@harolddavy3735]

[@marionalbergo1146]

Will raw carrots eaten those same six times a day do the same thing as spinach. Thank you for your videos. I have hypotension and just had my first heat attack and am trying to understand all of the different approaches.

[@gabriel65304]

Is very easy, but first ambition

[@numbernine8571]

he gave 15 different options. carrots weren't an option. can't you simply follow the doctor's advice?

[@jordanguo4325]

I have been on whole food plant based diet with no oil for 4 years. I did lost a lot of weight but I still feel chest pain when I walk uphill or climb mountain. I wonder does it work for anyone else? Why it didn’t work for me?

[@richgl31]

Because diet is only part of the equation. I don’t think there is a one size fits all; but diet, exercise and stress control help - but there are always hereditary factors. There are no absolute cures yet as far as I am aware. The science is not definitive.

[@stevethevlogger]

He said the boiled greens should be size of 1/4 of your fist?

[@seodreamteam]

Wonder why boiled? I eat mine in a salad, so wondering if I need to cook?

Just living on veggies is not possible.Fats like coconut oil,MCT oil,prevent heart disease, He is not talking about Alzheimers,and neuropsychiatric diseases which are very common these days.

[@maribelpita5745]

Oils are bad if used in cooking, and that’s how most oils are used. Also the milk is cooked or pasteurized.

[@skippy6462]

We don't live just on veggies. We eat whole food sources of fat like nuts, seeds, avocados and not processed oils. Coconut oil is a saturated fat and not good. The whole Coconut flesh has the fibre. Fibre is key.

[@g.e.boroush5176]

You are 100% completely wrong. Peoples of the earth have lived on whole plant foods for thousands of years: beans, legumes, potatoes, corn & squashes, tubers, grains, seeds, nuts, green & yellow veggies, & fruits. If living on whole food plant diets is not possible, then please explain to me how the other great mammals of the earth (of which we are among them) survive? I am referring to the mammals of: elephants, giraffe's, hippopotamus', silverback gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, moose, elk, deer, antelope, marmots, squirrels, camels, cows, buffalo, pigs, goats, sheep, just to name a few. How do they manage to live and thrive on "veggies"? If you want to guzzle saturated fat oil, have at it. It's your body. But mct oil is not something that Mother Nature manufactures in her great wisdom. Eat a whole plant food just as Mother Nature grew it. Just like all the other great mammals of the earth do.

[@arthurschuler8906]

These animals have a big colon where bacteria break down the plant material to 70% fat and protein..... Humans dont have that..... Eskimo's eat 400 grams meat and 300 grams fat and appear healthy..... The Massai eat only blood and milk from their cattle..... Maybe it is the vinegar and absence of sugar and low calorie content of the food?
