Daily green juices with minimal sugar is a huge game changer in addition to chewing large salads

How can you say that olive oil is bad for the endothelium when the Mediterranean diet has shown that it's very beneficial?

This entire family is the gift that keeps on giving! Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease and Engine 7 are the first two books that got me started on this wonderful plant based journey!

Thank you. You answered most of my questions. Is stroke considered the same with the diet restrictions on seeds, nuts and avocado in respect to atrial fibrillation? Discussion about cholesterol and tests for inflammation is very useful for talking with health care pill pushers. I’m a star pupil of your program but still having to deal with the conventional one-size fits-all treatments and advice of the medical system. What a helpful family, you all are….hello from Canada.

Per Dr Greger, the lower oxalate greens are Arugula, Kale and Collard greens (AKC) 🥬🥬🥬

When the aliens come, they gotta meet the Esselstyns !!!! And Dr. Greger, too !!!! haha Just kidding Love all this gang, saving the world one open mind at a time! It's so hard to change your eating habits (I'm sure I'll always love my chicken wings, but I'm trying really hard to love them less). I'm doing it for ME (and for the chickens)! Thanks again, I am a plant-based woman warrior now (thanks Ann and Jane!). Much love from the Canadian Rockies xxx

Thanks for the video and validating my diet as most are telling me WFPB SOS is bad 😂😂😂. Sadly I have to watch my family and friends all poison themselves as they are causing major arterial damage.

Chewing is so much more satisfying!! Thanks awesome Esselstyns!!! All Esselstyns all the time!!

Thank you, I learned so much from this interview, even though I have watched many others with Dr. Esselstyn, this was the best one. As someone whose cholesterol went up after going plant based, I found his knowledge very reassuring.

[@beanburrito8903]

Very informative! Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@keeprush4732]

Thanks Rip for putting this on your podcast. I heard this last week and had hard time hearing your father on the FB. This information is golden. Ann’s advice and tips are great!

I love this family. Dr. Esselstyn is changing cardio in the country. Love that he uses PET scan in his examples and also nitric oxide earlier--BOTH things (PET by Michael Phelps) and Nitric oxide by Lou Ignarro) invented at UCLA in the same dept. A happy marriage I am glad I was part of.
