Dr. Michael Greger: Inside “How Not To Age” | The Exam Room Podcast

[@kindcounselor]

I will be 76 years old Dec. 29th...and i just had my yearly physical. Ive been vegan since 2015. All my blood markers were normal.....and im on no medications except B12 and vegan dha epa. I study Dr. Gregers' information daily. What a miracle this understanding about food is!

[@Becky_Cal]

We have the same birthday!!! 🎂 It’s coming up yet again. I have been dipping in and out of veganism since 2016. I’m in my late 40s now and have had a hard time and had to research a lot bc I’m allergic to soy, wheat, potatoes, peanuts and sesame. This makes it very difficult to be vegan full time BUT a great company in Colorado is now making protein crumbles made with mushrooms and peas-two ingredients Dr Greger touts in his book. So, my goal is now to go full vegan in 2024!! Happy early bday btw! 🎉

[@eugenechen8240]

Bet you feel great too! How the energy levels, anything of complaint? Markers tells one story, feelings tells the truth. Dr. Greger looks remarkably old for his 51 years. I will take anything he says with a grain of salt. Also, I would follow those who look absolutely fantasic, do you think Dr. Saladino is 4 years younger than Dr. Greger? I would than there should be 20 years between them, and only one of them eat meat.

[@Goodbyeeveryonehere]

​@Becky_Cal it really isn't difficult at all to be vegan with your restrictions. Buckwheat, (which isn't wheat) sweet potatoes which aren't potatoes, millet, brown rice, many other carbohydrates you can eat. No excuses.

[@Goodbyeeveryonehere]

​@@eugenechen8240guess what? The things that you refer to with regard to the way Dr greger looks are genetic. His ancestors ate meat. His grandma is the reason he went vegan. She was sent home to die at age 65 and by going plant based she lived to be 96.

[@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094]

​@@eugenechen8240 his hair is grey and balding. His voice sounds old. Those are genetics. His skin looks healthy and he has tons of energy. How old are you and how is your energy level?

We all owe so much to Michael Greger.

30 years WFPB vegan here, am 63 and still running 🏃‍♂️ and lifting ! Same weight as in my teens! Love Dr Gregor ❤❤❤

[@theaccidentalsenior]

Now, as I am late to the party watching this video, I am excited to read the book (waiting for my Amazon delivery). I am 65 yrs and am dedicated to making this my year to get healthy. I always thought I was ok health wise and then I got Covid. I had all my vaccinations and boosters, but still became very sick for over 3 weeks. If I didn’t have those vaccines I would have been one in a hospital attached to a respirator. After that I kept catching everything. Was sick for over 3 months. I realized I needed to do better.

[@raissaferreira1101]

I love how Dr. Greger emphasis the importance of libraries in the beginning of the video. Nowadays it seems like they are invisible, because nobody talks about them anymore when advertising books.

[@SamanthaSalmon]

I always mention them. Love libraries!

[@lanilok3696]

Dr Gregor is so entertaining. I just turned 85 in November and I am hoping to live to 100 as my mother had and also her baby sister who just turned 100 in September. I am still driving walking wanting to enter 10k races and MA Whole Foods plant based person, thankful that there are others like us out therewho are still healthy wise. Keep up the good work Dr. Gregor thank you.

[@barbarak1744]

I adore this man. Thank you Dr. G for saving me from food self destruction!

[@elizabethdean0187]

My How Not to Age books (Xmas gifts and one for us) just arrived. Thumbed through and getting ready for the deep dive. On behalf of humanity, Michael, a heartfelt thank you. As an academic and textbook writer, I do know what is involved. I applaud not only your meticulous research but also your exceptional capacity to translate it. You are a knowledge translator ‘par excellence’. There needs to be a Nobel prize for knowledge translation, given the heap of decades-old exceptional studies supporting vegan nutrition that fall by the wayside (yet would do more to support human health than all the drug studies put together - a travesty).

[@robertmorgan5467]

I love your programs. I currently am on a 100% plant-based diet no other foods or Franken foods I have incorporated everything this wonderful man has taught me and 72. My life is on track to to bring my age down to 52 maybe younger God bless you both and God bless those of us who have taken our health and her own hands and trusted the brave souls like Dr. Furman, Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. Caldwell Esselstein, Dr. McDougall. And and I know I’ve missed others people that have influenced me so greatly. God bless you all. Thank you, Chuck.

I have met and talked with Dr Gregor, and also met some very famous people, and he is one of the most facinating persons on the planet. He is a walking encyclopedia of the human phiysiological condition.." If you want to live come with me "should be on his tombstone. Yeah, I hope I live that long... God bless you DR Gregor.

Dr Gregers enthusiasm and excitement from the knowledge he’s gained is contagious! So grateful he’s out there educating we the people!

[@TangoMasterclassCom]

Chuck Carroll is the best interviewer! A few minutes in, and he already strikes a chord with Dr. Greger, asking about his grandmother. So beautiful to see the change. And I learnt something new about a longevity syndrome. Very interesting.

[@cindyleoppky7229]

This is, by far, my favourite interview with Dr. Gregor on How Not to Age. Chuck, you rocked it, and of course, Dr. Gregor is so personable as always. Love it!

[@eugenechen8240]

By comparing at the appearance of Dr. Greger and his 51 years, I thought it will be a great idea to remove the "NOT" from the title of his book.

[@wordgirl6267]

​@@eugenechen8240It is NOT about 'How not to LOOK older' 🙄 It's about how not to age INTERNALLY ! Of course YOUR age (nor PHOTO ) was included in your comment 🤨 & I presume you're NOT a Physician . Since Dr.Greger went through Medical School , Internship,etc; Has a Practice; has Written many Books ( the one being discussed took him 3 YEARS ! ) Therefore, Considering ALL those impressive accomplishments, his fun, positive personality (and no doubt his massive "Net Worth") He definitely IS Extremely Good-Looking ! 👀 also, Along with his extensive knowledge of the human body, he most-likely has incredible Endurance + delightful-creativity , in the bedroom ! 😊 Aren't you glad you criticized his "Looks" ?? 🙄

[@eugenechen8240]

@@wordgirl6267 I suspect you might want to be in that bedroom of his. Jokes aside, I watched a video when he met his number one fan and it was rare short when he actually has a substantial belly. If you watch some of the interviews you might notice his hands have huge bulging veins - a sign of aging. Regardless of his net worth or suspected internal health, his advice comes from his genuine belief. The only problems is he is mistaken and he has influenced many people, myself included. I was ex vegan of 8 years and let me tell you it won’t end well. But it seems many people are too invested in this ideology so I have advised my son to chose pharmaceutical in his university selection. He will have plenty of plant based customers and he won’t go hungry. As to myself, since you have asked, am not a doctor even though I do possess a Ph D in chemical engineering. I am doing ok and I am 55 and eating meat and animal fat only. I have a BMI of 23 and a body fat index of 15%, not the best but most people take me for early 40s. So good luck to you and thank you for your comment.

His name is Greger, not Gregor.

[@Becky_Cal]

I love how passionate Dr Greger is about science and about making sure he has all of his information cited and backed by peer-reviewed studies! I pre-ordered the book and am reading through it every evening. Sooooo much great information!!! And much of what he advises is quite easy and affordable to apply. Thank you Dr Greger!!! ❤❤❤❤

The problem with Asian Grocery Stores is you don't know where the food is grown and the there is very little Pesticide Regulation in most of these countries.....

you can easily grow your own. They're greens after all! Besides - it's greens - so toxins are not as bioaccumulated as animal products. I don't worry much about it, but there's always diy sprouts and microgreens.

[@bnd548]

This is also my question. I'm yet to see if Dr Greger addresses it in a video or the book as I'm just starting the greger journey. But, yes, there is the important distinction for me of organic vs. everything else when it comes to leafy veggies.

I know those grapes are organic, and I know that grapes purchased from supermarkets are generally on the dirty dozen, so how are those lucious grapes (and veggies) in the Asian market grown?

Hello from texas 👋 I have a question, what's the best way to eat for no gallbladder? And am I at a higher risk for fat deficiency? What foods do I avoid and what foods should I eat ?

[@mattzilla331]

You will still be able to digest fat. Bile is made by your liver but gets stored in the gallbladder. So the bile will just drip into your intestines. Unfortunately bile is irritating and there's a lot of evidence that this increases your rate for colon cancer and probably other diseases. So to get your liver to produce less bile you need to eat low fat. And eat lots of fiber to soak up the bile dripping into your intestines. And it's impossible to not get enough fat on a plant based diet. If you're eating enough to maintain a healthy weight you will be fine. Even if you ate literally just potatoes and broccoli. Dr mcdougall had a lecture on KZbin called the skinny on fat where he talks about this. But if you're still worried about it then add a tablespoon of flax or chia seed or 1 ounce of nuts.

[@mattzilla331]

@heatherh3487 yes the liver has to detoxify all that.

[@extropiantranshuman]

44:13 people never talk about this - but calcium is an internal sunscreen - it forms antioxidants on the skin. I would imagine blue/purple foods probably do the best to repel as well - since they reflect blue light and purple - so they might reflect the UV rays. I would imagine salt being bad for the skin. Another one that's super powerful's coq10.

44:13 I went to sunbaking hawaii and was in the sun all day. I wore sunscreen on all of my body except my face. I put Rachel Perry's Elastin and Collagen Firming Treatment on there - and the thing is - sometimes I forgot to wear sunscreen on my body. It didn't matter - whether or not I wore sunscreen - my body burned and the skin peeled even. Only my face that I didn't put sunscreen on didn't! I see it has marshmallow in it - so maybe that's what does the trick? There's studies that say it protects against the worst - UVA radiation. It also has "French Coneflower, Horsetail, Comfrey Root (Allantoin), Belgian Chamomile, Korean Ginseng, Bladderwrack, Linden, Ivy, Yarrow and Witch Hazel" plus algae and avocado.

13:00 why goji berries when sumac berries have the highest orac value we know? And it's dry! According to my research (in order) - it's blueberries, bilberries, oranges, carob, currants (black), and elderberries that're the top for fruit for flavanoids (yes - I did my own research too). That said - soy - being a seed - beats them all, as well as tea - which is a leaf. The issue with goji berries is that they're in the nightshade family - so it can be triggering for certain people. So that's when I'd cede to sumac, blueberries, etc. No need to deny - acai is the fruit after sumac with the most orac value. Then again - the internet says dragon's blood beats out everything with a whopping over 2 million orac value. So where's that being said? I guess I have to look to find out.

11:18 I really don't like Thompson green grapes. Where I get grapes with seeds is right off the plant. They grow concord grapes where I live - they taste like mangos.

just so you know dr greger - there's tomatoes in jars that are no salt - just tomatoes - and it's practically pasta sauce. I had jovial food's crushed tomatoes, but you can do diced tomatoes from that brand - and I'll call it pasta sauce - as that would be super easy to place on your pasta with some veggies!

[@extropiantranshuman]

36:18 but pasta made from green peas is similar to wheat pasta. I guess if you want 'whole wheat' the closest is buckwheat - but maybe that has little nutritional value compared to legumes. I love banza more than wheat pasta (then again I can't eat gluten much, but still).

It's fine! It's not like you eat a huge amount of it, even if you eat it daily.

[@extropiantranshuman]

why? Just ditch the salt - it honestly doesn't need it. Salt isn't even vegan from what I heard anyway. You're likely killing all the microbes with the salt anyway - salt's antimicrobial. How are you honestly getting any fermenting going anyway? Sounds more like pickling to me.

maybe there's a reason why you're upset - something to ponder over and think about? What're you upset about? Him, his words, you, me?

i love Dr Greger! he has helped my diet sooo much. the only thing i have a problem with is when he says humans need zero sodium. anyone who does manual labor or works out a lot knows thats not realistic...
