Dr. Klaper Interview | Anti-nutrients, Digestion, Macros, Protein & MORE!

I recently had the opportunity to sit down and speak with the legendary Dr. Michael Klaper. We speak on a huge variety of topics including, digestion, macro splits, protein, anti-nutrients, RDI's, the Keto diet and so much more. He is a wealth of knowledge and he shares some of it with us here today.

cool

[@Incredible43]

Awesome interview, Dr.Klaper is someone I looked to when researching becoming Vegan regarding foods and nutrition. I am so happy for you and for all of us that you got to interview him looking forward to part 2.

[@RedPillVegan]

Thanks for creating this content Derek, I'm looking forward to this one but I already gave it a thumbs up.

[@ETLAPESTE]

about your kind of serie video ''why you should eat them'' could you talk about rice? it is possible to eat rice without arsenic? if it is, how?

[@MM-nk6wz]

With all due respect, Dr. Klaper made some unscientific and inaccurate statements. This is pretty misleading... dismissing gas as normal is not correct. Gas, bloating, and pain is not normal. Antinutrients are much worse for human health than he outlines. He dismisses the warning signs that veganism is terrible for human health to favor his ideology. Bacon does not "rub" on your intestines. Like all meat, it is completely broken down into amino acids and fatty acids which are readily absorbed and used by the body. He also suggested that liver enzymes play a role in digestion, which is not true. Liver enzymes do not digest our food, pancreatic enzymes do. He also said that our digestive systems are basically the same as monkeys and herbivores when actually, it is closest to that of a wolf. The low stomach acidity, the gallbladder, the pancreatic enzymes, lack of fermentation chamber prior to the stomach, short large intestine and long small intestine... we are designed to break down protein and fat. We are not equipped to handle fiber and plants. We can digest starch (an adaptation that has allowed us to survive when animal food was scarce) but most plants are indigestible unless processed. Lectins are especially resistant to digestion and cannot be eradicated. Plants don't have claws or teeth or legs to run away, their defense mechanisms are present in the form of chemicals. He also ignores the damage that a high carbohydrate diet can do. The standard American diet is not a high meat diet, it is a high carb diet. That is the true cause of heart disease and diabetes. Carbs are not essential and not healthy.

[@lennonpaiva7058]

"I wanna make this *digestible* for you guys" Haha, I see what you did there

[@dakotadawson2748]

I eat a standard American diet but I really enjoy your channel and want to give veganism a try. You're definitely opening my eyes and make me wanna change my lifestyle.

[@skpjoecoursegold366]

slow and steady..................................wins the lifestyle change.

[@Vanessa-fs7oz]

I think it's great that you are watching this channel and learning so much about nutrition and how to eat right already, so when you try vegan, you'll know more than most people do when they first go vegan. I'd recommend looking into Dr. Michael Greger's daily dozen which gives a good idea of what sort of foods to fill your diet with. Once you're adding all the good stuff in, there won't be any room for the bad stuff (the animal products). I'd also recommend looking into documentaries on the ethics behind veganism to really solidify the lifestyle change, docs like Dominion or Earthlings, because it's unnecessary what is being done to animals when we can be happier and healthier eating just plants. ✌🌌💜 good luck to you!

[@gettingtherevegan421]

Dakota Dawson there is a ton of support if you ever make the decision. You have nothing to lose, trust me.

[@MM-nk6wz]

If you are into nutrition, look into healthy keto or carnivore. Veganism is not healthy. Coming from an ex-vegan.

[@kathystoner5239]

Excellent interview! I've been following Dr. Klaper since the 90's and he's the reason I went vegan. He's so inspiring!

[@Amanda.c91]

Love Dr Klaper. With his main focus being anesthesiology in the past, I loved his quote “I got tired of putting people to sleep and wanted to start helping them WAKE UP”💚💚💚

[@Dearmylove_i]

Wonderful! I really enjoy Dr. Klaper’s talks. Looking forward to part two! 😊

[@jodymckenzie3526]

@@doktoren99 ummm it's a bit complicated than that cos of the lifestyle. I see a lot of women having a stressful cycle that requires help.

[@itsyaboinadia]

@@doktoren99 well females have different hornonal systems than men, so some practices are better for women to follow and some are better for men.

[@myggggeneration]

Dr Klaper is so cool!! He knows his stuff inside out and you can tell because his explanations are always easily understood. Great interview, Derek!!

[@brookemobley4152]

Love Dr. Klaper; great to see him chatting with you in your backyard. Audio quality is not a problem at all! Thank you for your uplifting, informative content.

[@ericmatthews3307]

I'm a Seventh-day Adventist and we've been preaching and teaching the plant based diet since the 1800's. The rest of the world is catching up, and, sadly, our church is losing the message we have been given. If you haven't already, look into the Adventist health message and Adventist health study. The blue zones, as studied by National Geo, listed Loma Linda (SDA's) as one of their groups.

[@MrsSmith-vf2vw]

Huge fan of Dr. Michael Klaper, great enterview, thanks for sharing!

[@nickthelion19]

Totally digging this interview! Definitely gave me some in sight about degistion. Simnett Nutrition podcast in the future???

[@Incredible43]

Great idea 👍

[@gettingtherevegan421]

Nick De Leon I would be down with that

[@timonthehill11]

Podcast on spotify would be great for listening while driving/traveling. Around 15-30 minutes could be a good length

Agree! Love Podcast, great chance to learn while driving and cleaning, for me!

[@itsmrlowe]

I’m literally about to go to your website and buy your meal plan. I’ve been vegan for 2 years now and I am a lousy and lazy cook. I make excuses as to why I can’t get back in to shape and when I’m not eating right I don’t train right, so I’m my own worst nightmare. Being fit, healthy and aesthetically pleasing is what I need and I’m confident that you, your vibe, content, channel and meals will get me back in shape and healthy again. Thanks for sharing knowledge and experience with us. I’m very grateful. I’m starting body weight workouts this week.

[@antonioperez7528]

Thank you Dr Klaper & Derek for your experience & knowledge. Can’t wait for next one. Very interesting 💪🏾💛🤙🏾

[@empiricus2211]

no lol, if you feel shitty all the time (literally) being alive becomes a pain.

[@StevenTPriest]

@@empiricus2211 "lol"? When someone has serious gut health issues, they should consult a professional. For people who look for their medical advice on KZbin, Gojiman would be a good place to start.

[@empiricus2211]

Steven Priest gojiman, the person who charges a shitton for tests that might not even give useful results. Why would I take health advice from someone who looks malnourished and grey?

[@StevenTPriest]

@@empiricus2211 Oh, if you are genuinely sick with gut health issues and insist on choosing your doctors based on their physical beauty, check out Angie Sadeghi, MD. She's the best-looking gastroenterologist in my opinion. And if you're concerned about the expense of tests and whether they'll reveal anything new, well, you've never been as sick as I have been before I switched to a WFPB diet.

[@empiricus2211]

@@StevenTPriest Sorry my message came of as really passive agressive. I was in a bad place when I typed that, so I apologize. What I mean with 'looking good' is not beauty in the way that word is most often used. What I meant is the zest for life in his face. Vigor. When I look at that guy he doesn't strike me as someone who knows the in's and out's of his body and is free to use it in any way. That's not meant as an insult, but an observation. Science is useless without the actual experience of well-being.

[@snailmailmagic1133]

I cannot agree more. In my grandma's village, people eat lesser but they are all complete unprocessed meals. Rich in good quality protein, packed with nutrition. In cities, we don't really prepare such food. And we are so constantly stressed as if our life is in danger. We are psychologically, emotionally, physically drained. And we expect some random nutrition company to provide a full stop solution for all our problems

[@kirogurl]

Awesome!!! Please do more interviews! Please do an interview with Michael Gregor Abby Sharp (fellow Canadian) Neal Barnard Rose from Cheap lazy Vegan just from a food perspective and recipe collaboration 😉 also a fellow Canadian. Just my 2 cents 😊
