Dr. Dean and Anne Ornish Want You To Live Better | Rich Roll Podcast

Today I explore what it means to live truly well with Dean Ornish, MD & Anne Ornish -- the world-renown, pioneering power couple of lifestyle medicine.
A legend in the plant-based movement, Dr. Ornish is currently a Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco and the president and founder of the nonprofit Preventive Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito.
Highly trained and experienced in lifestyle medicine, yoga therapy, mobile applications and web design, Anne Ornish is the creator behind Ornish Lifestyle Medicine's digital platform, a new paradigm health care program.
This is a conversation not just about how to live well and long, but the why behind that desire.
Enjoy!

Its pure karma when you read a comment and totally agree with it, in fact the point re Nobel peace prize was going to be part of my comment (so more karma) but even cooler than that is that we share a surname!

Awesome interview, I've been a plant based yogi coming up for 3 years now after my doctor told me I had to go on blood pressure lowering tablets for life. I found Dean Ornish, read The China Study, found Dr Micheal Gregor and other plant based doctors.. I read Finding Ultra and got inspired by Rich Roll too to change my life. I I did change my lifestyle overnight so I didn't have to go on medication but didn't expect to have the weight loss and the six pack I've not seen for 20 years! I'm an ex soldier and was very fit for many years, when you leave the service you tend to take on board the same amount of calories but you do less physical exercise which results in putting on more weight than ever. It creeps up on you so slowly you just don't see it. Then you go to the doctor for a pain in the knee joint and they have you! They have their chance to deal drugs with you. Listen to what Dean, Anne and Rich are saying and you will improve your life immensely.

[@downbntout]

Don Wetherell You know about Dr. Michael Greger's grandmother Francis Greger?

[@donwetherell8738]

Yes, I've heard him speak about it a few time. She went to see Nathan Pritikin and his ways saved her life....saving lives from chronic disease by eating well has been known for decades, the food industry, dairy and pharmaceutical industries don't care, they just want to make money from making people sick then dealing them drugs. It's sad.

[@downbntout]

Don Wetherell Yup sad it is, and the steak-n-bacon eaters think they're badass eating all that, mocking us, but they're dupes, bamboozled by the industries who've stolen the tobacco playbook. "Aw, everything's bad for ya.' They just don't know the industries, and they don't see what they're driving toward

[@todaytraining5671]

Add a healer who cleanses and detoxes you as I have and I'm healed, healthy and a great athlete. Plus I'm happy. The ugly protozoa and parasites can stay in you for 30 years or more before they die. A diet change will not kill them. So staying or getting healthy is finding a top healer who is invested in your life.

[@jennifernunez3179]

Blown away by this conversation. I have been Buddhist learning for several years and continued eating meat. After finally giving up the meat and becoming vegan I know that there’s a direct relationship between my mental health, spirituality and what I am putting in my body. I feel less aggression and anger and I attribute that to no longer consuming dead and decaying bodies. Everything becomes a meditation practice from preparing foods to eating them. I don’t need to be distracted anymore. I can be in the moment always because of my harmonious relationship with the world around me.

[@GnosisMan50]

Ann's candid awareness about being in a relationship makes a lot of sense as it does when Dean talks about eating right. However what makes things near impossible is finding a mate who wants to make the effort on both issues. As Ann said at the 107 min mark *when you join forces with people who share your sense of mission whether it's a lifestyle goal or a partnership of any sort it's a thrilling experience to be able to do things that you couldn't do alone* The vast majority of women at midlife who are on the personals say they want a healthy relationship but are far removed from realizing what is actually needed in making it a reality. They assume they know enough about love unaware that there is more to it than what they know as there is to eating healthy. What Dean Ornish is to a healthy diet is what Dr. Esther Perel is to healthy relationships but far too many men and women are intellectually impoverished by both. Of the few like me who want to live a more meaningful life, how can you do it when so many people don't give a rat's ass about themselves? it's depressing.

[@jlemmink]

Be the example. I believe we are here to know ourselves. Stop looking outward and stay inward, keep reading, and don't be a slave to capitalism.

[@GnosisMan50]

@@jlemmink I've been inward for the last 16 years. I have at least 200 books in humanistic psychology an spirituality and spent many hours in therapy to become a better man. I'm already at midlife and I don't want to die of old age alone but no matter how many times I set the example, finding a woman who is no longer under the spell of romantic love is tantamount to winning the lottery. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaXdZ5iAaLWlb5Y&ab_channel=SydneyOperaHouse Regarding Capitalism, I voted for Bernie Sanders in 16 and 20.

[@Vrin137]

You can feel the calm peaceful positive energy of these beautiful souls. Notice how the anti-vegans come across aggressively and ready to fly off the handle at any moment?! Even if subtle I can see and feel the love coming from the plant based speakers :) - I had to say something as I’ve been watching other vids on the subject seeing the puffed up unhealthy meat eaters bashing the plant based lifestyle and it’s like day and night. I needed this... thank you for your hard work and for the warm feeling you send our way. Much love back 10 fold! 🦋❤️💜

[@minifix]

They are indeed composed and enlightened people, and we owe them our gratitude for their work! Although I can't agree with the part you mentioned about plant based speakers being more loving than the other camp. I think a lot more people would be open to trying a plant based diet if vegans were less militant and more diplomatic.

[@Vrin137]

@@garythomas4936 To each their own, I live in the woods in an earth ship and know nature more than most. I've done survival training as well, if I had no choice and survival was at stake then it's acceptable to kill or to defend oneself, that is what I take from the hundreds of hours studying theology. Some are herbivores some are not. If you can kill with your bare hands then you are a carnivore :) I've learned plenty from the ancient texts (far older than the greeks) including the Emerald Tablets of Thoth and the book of Enoch (the original book of creation) all mention fasting for cleanliness and do not kill ANYTHING. We are not like other mammals we have a choice, that is what makes us different. but you do you.

[@Vrin137]

@@garythomas4936 Actually, plant base is very easy and cheap compare to feeding carnivores. India is proof of that, most are vegetarians for thousands of yrs and overpopulated as well. Legumes are very cheap, sprouting is easy at home and cheap. All the nutrition can be found in the cheapest foods. The easiest cooking and least amount of product is needed. I have a Ph.D in nutritional science and a NMD as well, I base my knowledge on CURRENT science. But as I said you do you, if you want to believe all that nonsense go for it. But, I can assure you that eating plant base is easy and super cheap, shoestring budget actually. I went through MED school poor and broke with barely enough time to cook and I'm healthier than most people half my age. Bood test and analysis of my bio age is 18 yrs younger. That's enough proof for me. Good luck to you, I'm done here :))

there is not a single study that shows vegans or omnivores have a single advantage.

Leave the SAD standard american diet of fast foods and you are going to be healthier.

I love this video. Very informative. Not happy with Dr. Ornish not allowing Anne to get a word in edgewise. He "masnsplained" over her a couple times (shame on him for that). Overall, very worthwhile to watch. Those who worry about getting enough protein on a plant-based diet should join Cronometer for a week. If you keep track of everything you eat, you would be shocked how quickly you get enough protein without even trying.

Once in a while, I do question omega 3s and organic meats because some of my family members have not been fully willing to give up meats. Through attentiveness and education, I as well as my young child have experienced the benefits of becoming vegan and beginning this journey of a healthy lifestyle.

Thanks for a great interview! I enjoyed listening to the Ornish’s and hearing things that I know and even things I didn’t know! I took myself off my statins and blood pressure meds after becoming a vegan. My dr wouldn’t take me off, he always said if it works why stop. I was keeping track of my blood pressure and my cholesterol levels dropped! Also I just had ear surgery and when the clinic called the next day to check on me they were surprised that I was out walking the dogs already, not in pain or dizzy and that I wasn’t taking the pain medication that was Rx’d for me. I know that I did great thanks to my WFPB way of eating! I walked into the clinic knowing all would go great and was relaxed! Preordered the audiobook!

Doctors are under great pressure to write any medications. Plus the financial incentives are much greater then just a percentage of the drug. Why? Because any drug long-term has over 70 side effects, you'll end up needing a host of drugs, surgeries, treatments. $$$$$ that is bankrupting America.

love this one! oof, hate hearing about the rabbit tests. I have bunnies and rescue them...they're just like cats and dogs! they have personalities and need companionship...we will get there one day. and end animal abuse.

[@cherylfanson1815]

Michelle F totally agree with you. Compassion should apply to all species.

[@brandybe_____1086]

I agree with you, many years ago, i was a die-hard meat eater, no more!

[@brendapenny4094]

Yes, the bunny story was painful for me too. That's wonderful that you rescue them though!

[@Celosia101]

Rabbits are my favourite, so glad you rescue them. If you read this comment, please give your bunnies a hug from me

[@todaytraining5671]

Agree. Let's just use the people who want to eat meat, dairy and eggs to test on. Im sure plantbased people can be found as well.

Joan is so soothing and lovely Love hearing her speak

My all-time most watched/listened to show. This was the fourth time for me. Simply powerful and nourishing info. I wish I could work with the Ornish's. Now I remember why Dr. Ornish, Dr. Esselsyin, Dr, Kahn, Dr. Gregor, and the like are not on Dr. Phil's podcast or the Dr. Oz show. Dr. Garth Davis blew up "The Doctors" show he was on. Follow the money. Like Dr. T. Colin Campbel said, "The truth is a very stubborn thing, it doesn't go away."

[@carols8090]

Dr. Ornish is fantastic. How unfortunate that when he mentions former President Clinton he says "it doesn't matter your politics," but then slams Trump not once, but twice. Takes the class level down a bit and off topic in a completely unnecessary manner. I will continue to love and appreciate his work. Thank you Rich!
