Dr. Esselstyn Shares Patient Stories

[@debhadden205]

Please tell Dr. Esselstyn, he advised my husband in Des Moines, IA 13 years ago, and he's been compliant on his plan all this time, and he is still going strong. He was 49 years-old when he had two 99% blocked arteries. We had six boys living at home at the time. Now they are all grown up and we have four grandchildren. My husband works out at the gym with our 22 y/o our sixth youngest child and can keep up with him! We owe so much to Dr. Esselstyn and your family.

[@positivity1016]

Thank you for sharing this.

[@davidhutchinson5233]

Dr. Ess is 90. 90 years old and still vibrant and exuberant as he ever was.

This Thanksgiving I will be coming up on 7 years on the Esselstyn diet post heart attack and multiple 75% blockages and severe angina. I lost my excess weight, eliminated my angina, eliminated migraine headaches (I used to have several per week), and have gone from being sedentary to going on 20 miles of trail runs per week. I am 59.

[@karmelicanke]

It is an encouragement to learn of your health history and success with the WFPD. Bless your heart for sharing and wishing you continued success.

[@juliegillies6688]

Wow, good on you ❤

[@annebastian5613]

What a great story!! And It is true!!

[@frederickkrewson638]

Dr. Esselstyn is a national treasure.

[@rockskyred549]

I am so happy to see dr Essslstyn on video, he is such a great inspiration

[@robinsaxophone232]

Your whole family has been such an inspiration and joy to watch.

[@davidweden1413]

Very nice to see Dr. Esselstyn. After learning that my CAC score was over 1,000 this spring, we've been sticking to a whole food plant-based diet. Feeling great, thanks for all your great work!

[@dogstoryteller]

Thank you so much Dr. E for taking time to share with us!! It’s such an honor to hear from your experience and be inspired again to eat the way you teach!

[@claresmith9261]

Yes,,well said as I keep falling back to bad habits so this has spurred me on 👍🏻

[@michaelbackovski4994]

The Esselstyn family is truly remarkable for the guidance and education of the American public! Keep up the excellent work!

[@angelahill3556]

Dr E is one of my favorite plant-based heroes. His research among other whole food plant-based doctors saved my life and I lost 175lbs I am forever grateful to him and he doesn't even know me.

[@Ninjaprayerwarrior]

Me too!!!!

[@calmingdragon2862]

Congratulations. That's an amazing weight loss. Be proud!!

[@alifeintransition9782]

Yes bring this man back! Wonderful stores of hope!! I love the guy that calls back every year letting everyone know "Yeah, I'm still here-- let's party!"Not exactly like that but that is the message I am picking up. He has the energy to party that's the takeaway!!! : )

[@cltinturkey]

These stories are profound and encouraging. Thank you for sharing them with us, and please come back on the channel regularly. I'd love to see you share your wealth of knowledge with us all. Perhaps a couple of tips regularly to help us improve our WFPB regime and encouragement to stick with it over the long term.

[@mariajones6802]

I have been enjoying Jane and Ann's cooking demos. They are so unusual and it always surprises me how much I absorb, as I have tried a lot of the recipes that are downright delicious. Thank You, Thank You! Dr. Esselstyn is wonderful on so many levels. What a great time to share patient stories. What a bonus!

[@karensullivan6594]

Love Dr. Esselstyn!!!!

[@marlahansen3953]

[@talesfromthebike]

What a beautiful family. You can feel the love ❤

[@megabaneen8057]

CANT WAIT!!! Dr esselstyn looks great!!

[@chickenlittle9468]

I bought the ebook last week, and started the Esselstyn's nutrition program on 9/6/2024. I do not suffer from heart problems, but I want to prevent heart disease. I do love fruits and veggies, and so far - 4 days in - I am loving this nutrition program! I am so, so thankful to Dr. Esselstyn for his studies and his guidance as I, too, embark in the most wonderful journey of all: being in control of my health. Forever in debt🎉

[@PlantPerfectGina]

I love hearing Dr. Essie's "stories! They are very encouraging! 💕

[@misterincreds5341]

Wow this brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing.

[@kathym9322]

So looking forward to this! Was just thinking how I haven't seen anything recent with Dr. Essslstyn in a little while and was planning to check, and this popped up. Woohoo🎉🎉🎉

[@danniegodfrey3622]

I love him so much. What an incredible man. If only everyone could read his work and listen to him.

[@vaherlihy]

Thank you all so much! We so appreciate your encouragement

[@doragreen3887]

Thank u dr E!!!!! What a gem!!

[@RhondaAllott]

Really looking forward to this!🙂

[@tonyarobbins4387]

After seeing the documentary Disease, Reversal, Hope my husband and I went totally WFPB. He had stints a few years prior, so we were very concerned about the ramifications of heart disease being his dad died from a massive heart attack at 35 and his grandfather died at 45 with a massive heat attack. My husband will be 65 in September. We started the WFPB lifestyle in November 2023. About 3 months ago our Dr was amazed at his labs. She gave him a huge A+ and a star sticker for his shirt😂. To say that we are believers of the health benefits of a WFPB lifestyle is a understatement. Words will never convey how thankful I am for Dr E and family along with Dr Campbell and Dr Ornish. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and changing lives.

[@deva190]

I would not be surprised if his dad and grandfather were blood type A.

[@kathym9322]

Looking forward to the next show with Dr E. :)

[@barbaralee9564]

I just love all of you!!🫛🍉💚

[@DungTran-zd8io]

So good to see Dr Esselstyn Thank you❤️❤️

[@normawingo5116]

It really is very helpful that Dr. E shares these case stories. Sometimes I wonder if anything I’m doing is working. It helps to hear this, thanks Essylstyn’s et al. You’re such a huge help with the recipes, and not having a mother, I enjoy your mother/daughter banter so much. Hugs to all….

[@carolinekelly8481]

What an amazing man ❤helping so many people! Thank you & blessings to you dr .

[@ocelotcat]

I love you all ! Thank you so much for these great videos, they're really encouraging and inspirational. I've just ordered the Warrior Woman cookbook ☺️ I've loved being WFPB vegan, it cured my gallbladder and allowed me to avoid surgery (I was in the ER for it too !) but I wanted to go home and try your way, so they loaded me up with antibiotics etc., told me I was crazy and that I'd be back. That was 7 years ago now. 😊. I also cured my NAFL disease with my diet change. I love eating this way and will never go back. Thanks again 🙏💕

[@snybe]

I’d love to see way more of these!!

[@tinalaplaca6638]

yes...please bing me when you are on. Dr. Essie is awesome. And Ann and Jane. l love Ann....she and Jane share so many fun recipes and demos on how to prepare. As l repeat myself, let me be your camera girl so l can have 1st taste of your good eats....

[@terrip3345]

It’s always good to hear your stories that remind us of the power of food. Thank you.

[@cheryls4526]

Y so much. Please share more stories.

[@angelasofia7726]

I just finished reading his book, this really works! Thank you for saving lives Doctor Essy!

[@tinalaplaca6638]

Believe it or not my mom is 101.....and we are Chinese.... and that is such a good story about Stanley. You 3 are the best of the best....and l can't tell you how much l enjoy your podcasts

[@gkaur4399]

Thank you for wonderful healing stories. Could you please bring more stories?

[@plantbasedlady]

Hiya Beautiful Esselstyns! ❤

[@williamedwards4339]

I was lucky to see Dr. Esselstyn & Dr. Campbell speak on Long Island a few years ago. They r on the Mount Rushmore of Plant Based Eating.

[@sallylukens9222]

Thankyou… I love that you call him Daddy, Jane. My dad was an on/gyn and I called him Daddy too!

[@adiposerex5150]

These are great talks. You do not hear this anywhere else. I subbed.

[@LashusJourney]

Thank you so much for sharing

[@jingles1963]

Love to hear these testimonies they are so encouraging! Bring back Dr. Essie!!!

[@PiperNana]

Fascinated 👍

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Excellent!!!

[@Thats_Right80]

So GOOD to see Dr. Esselstyn. Keep REMINDING us, please. It keeps us on track with WFPB. Thank u for ALL that you do.

[@christinedreams8099]

I really needed to see this vid today….to help me reorient and discover, again, plant based. Alone and and struggling with health and lack of resources, it seems insurmountable sometimes to do the basics, but watching you guys breeze through easy peasy delish recipes (watched two cooking vids from you prior to this one) and then hear about 80+ yr old ppl managing and reversing heart disease, well, it is inspiring and I think a touch stone sent by God to me today. Ty for living well and sharing truth. God bless.

[@sharingwithsharon7021]

Thank you Dr. Esselstyn for these stories, as well as all the talks, presentations, research, and writings that have empowered us and inspired us to embrace WFPB nutrition! Thank you Jane and Ann.

[@catherinemcintyre3568]

Thank you so much Dr Esselstyn, Ann and Jane for taking the time to share these wonderful stories. Speaking as a retired nurse I think this is exactly what people need and want to hear, when someone receives results of investigations that confirm they’re dealing with serious issues they can feel totally overwhelmed and helpless. Hearing these wonderful stories will offer so much encouragement and hopefully people will feel empowered to take control of their own health as opposed to being a passive participant and accepting that medications and / or surgery are their only options. I love your You Tube channel, it’s so informative and fun! 🙏

[@sonnysingh2617]

So wonderful seeing Dr Saab 🙏🙏 looking so well 👍 thank you so much for your advice and guidance..I’m 56 and I’ve been vegan / plant based since May 2023 after gradually withdrawed from all animal based products a few years before that..not looking back..love my plant based diet 🙏🙏

[@loriledner6528]

I could listen for hours. Thank you❤

[@DFerrante-nz6sk]

I'm sold on this diet,no,WAY OF LIFE!Very encouraging and positively life saving.Ordered both books and can't wait to get started,your family is awesome!😊

[@acwrite32]

Love the Esselstyn family … very special Dr Esselstyn and his patience and compassion for helping people

[@beckygoddard7896]

Fascinating stories! Thank you Dr. Esselstyn.

[@gloryb-tv]

I love hearing from you all! I tell my viewers all the time that you can start this at any age and get great results. Meanwhile, the ad I got was for Taco Bell 😄

[@white-rabbit93]

Wonderful Esselstyns. It's never too late.❤❤

[@mini4196]

God bless your mom and dad for all the great information and work😇😇🙏🙏🙏🙏 we appreciate it more than you think💅💅💅💅

[@ingridmodaresi1237]

I do really like to hear patient success stories. Do more of these! Thank you so much.

[@Ninjaprayerwarrior]

Your family saved my life!!!! God bless all of you!!!!

[@msmyramorgan751]

Thank you for you work and dedication to helping people with their health and well being💜

[@yolereed1]

Please your dad back on! His stories are great❤

[@joyl.7970]

I love hearing about these success stories. I wonder if there are stories about people improving their sleep following WFPB diet? I am struggling with poor sleep.

[@cheriy8750]

I am not fully WFPB yet but seriously cutting back on sugar has helped my sleep and lowered my anxiety level. I also had to finally admit that even decaf coffee has too much caffeine for me so I switched to decaf tea and noticed a difference in just a few weeks. I am sure that following a WFBP SOS diet would help with sleep issues.

[@sandiej02]

Love this family ... thank you for all you do. ☺

[@susanszczepanik2567]

Thank you for giving me hope!

[@johno1299]

I am 80 years old - I had a very active life regularly Running, Gym Swimming and now walking every day (and get slightly annoyed when people pass me on the track🙂 just kidding but I am jealous) I have for decades had taken supplements which I thought is all you had to do. Despite never eating fast food I thought our families diet was reasonably wholesome - WRONG Meat & Dairy it turns out as you suggest is toxic - In short I had "a heart scare" a year ago. I bought your book Dr Esselstyn and initially I thought I can't do this but I quickly came around when I discovered the medication for lowering BP was a much worse option. It's been challenging adjusting to a completely new Plant based diet but what inspired me most was KZbin video like this and the your family's food recipes because I can see how genuine you guys are in helping everyone "see the light". Keep up the good work - You guys are amazing !

[@Jeffs60]

The 8.7 million species never took any synthetic unregulated supplements, to get an omnivore human to consume a plant type herbivore diet you must first get a sanguinivore to become an algivore and then an algivore to become a detritivore and then a detritivore to become a carnivore, and then a granivore to become a xylophage, and then a xylophage to become an osteophage.

[@tobytoxd]

Amazing! Thank you for sharing this!

[@vrspwbm3]

Love Dr. Esselstyn!

[@jjsumbot]

Love love ❤this! I need to the how and why! This is so important!!!!!!!!! I need to be knowledgeable about this info!!! It’s true!!!😮thank you!!!

[@salviabuckwheats7434]

Case studies are not sometimes interesting and helpful: they ALWAYS are. And interjected with the science of earlier artery damage compared with calcified scarring is very revealing to us laypeople. Thank you, all three of you stars: The Crazy Ladies and the Not-Mad Scientist. : ) Seriously, though, here in Richmond, Indiana, by way of Los Angeles (an almost life-long WFPB champion, thanks firstly to Dr. John McDougall), I do not know which of you ladies is the craziest. Super nuts in all the extremely best ways - your videos are a hoot (as they say here in the Midwest) but your cookbooks and culinary talents and achievements know no peers - they are incredibly EXCELLENT. I have the two, Woman Warrier and Reversing Heart Disease Cookbook, in spiral binding and I love them. Unfortunately, the huge drawback is no matter how easy or how delicious, SOMEONE has to actually make the food. Other than morning oatmeal (kitchen sink-style - everything in there), all I do is work so I live on nuked potatoes and canned Bush's baked beans. But my hubby makes a good salad for me for dinner and the ONLY dressing I eat is your 1-2-3. Good lord, that makes itself. Anyway, someday I will cook all the recipes in there. In truth I have made several and they are wonderful. Of course the videos to support the methods are a great companion and I did buy the pan you recommended and love it. Anyway, sorry so long - keep up the good work!!! I love you ALL and Jane's funny hubby, too (the best cook in the house).

[@shellyshultz2841]

Love seeing Dr Essy sharing these stories. Your family’s impact on transforming lives is such a blessing. ❤️❤️

[@ramonac6426]

My husband accidentally reversed his atherosclerosis lol. Was told in his 40s he had "average" atherosclerosis. We went plant based at 52. I initiated that and he went along with it and embraced it. 2 years ago he, after 5 years of veganism, he had all those tests done again. Come to find out his pain was from old scar tissue from a surgery in his teens. The thoracic doc and the cardiologist were blown away. He had almost no atherosclerosis any more. The thoracic doc was in his 30s and said that husband's pipes were cleaner than his. Cardiologist gave him clean bill of health but said he has never had a patient who reversed atherosclerosis. Husband said he owed it to plant based eating. Cardiologist wishes others would do the same but majority don't want to change what they eat or try new things.

[@suemcdowell9723]

Great success stories! I'm currently taking warfarin for clots and like to get off it. I got 3 stents 4 years ago. I had 95-99% blockage. What are your thoughts on this plant based diet in this situation?

[@scottclendaniel8624]

Story time with Dr E! Sounds like a regular addition to the show.

[@mabelh7305]

Dr. E should have his own show.

[@suzyn9119]

Jane... you are so funny. I'm surprised your dad didn't say.... oh I'm so lucky.... when you said you would get him on the show again. Of all the guests on your show.... your dad would be the preferred guest every day of the week... at least that's how i feel. I would listen to him every day.

[@erossphelps]

Amazing and inspiring stories from the OG WFPB raconteur! Make this a semi-regular segment please. (Video production note - the moiré pattern from his shirt is a little distracting)

[@garyharnish2395]

Keep it up. Your son as well.👍💯✌️
