Dr. Michael Greger on Aging and Health

Dr. Laurie Marbas welcomes Dr. Michael Greger as her guest on the podcast. They discuss Dr. Greger's new book on how to age well and get healthier as you get older. The book is over 600 pages long with thousands of references. Dr. Greger explains that he wrote the book because he noticed a lack of reliable information in the anti-aging space. He wanted to provide evidence-based answers to common questions about aging and promote the optimal diet and lifestyle for a long and healthy life. Dr. Greger also shares that he has a dedicated team of staff and volunteers to help with his research and writing. Despite having to cut the book in half due to its length, Dr. Greger created additional videos to include all the necessary information. The book aims to provide readers with science-backed recommendations rather than acting as a guru.

Thank you so much for having Dr. Greger on your podcast. I've learned so much from his books and videos over the years. You can't say enough good things about Dr. Greger.

[@DrLaurieMarbas]

Our pleasure!

Thank you Dr. Laura for bring us this excellent, interesting, fascinating video. Michael Gregor is a hero. I love he has big perfect toothy grin. We can see he practices what he preaches, doing high intensity interval training on his treadmill while having enough breath left over for using that deep mellifluous baritone voice. You can't go wrong listening to this ubermensch.

[@mammabear2183]

Wow! That was really interesting. Thank you for a great interview!

[@DrLaurieMarbas]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@xb4439]

Thanks a lot. I love Goji berries too, which are the only berries that I can afford to eat everyday. God bless!

[@DrLaurieMarbas]

You are so welcome!

[@radic888]

Wait, I want those extra 600 pages, too!😂

Can the female Doctor tell us a summary or a brief or moderate description of what she eats ? Especially for anti aging ?

[@DrLaurieMarbas]

I sure can.

[@claragarza]

Fascinating. Just one question, if we manage to do everything right, what are we going to die from?

[@colonyofcellsiamamachine6175]

based on the laws of thermodynamics, all things are just temporary (eternal motion machines are impossible) so the body will break down sooner or later (organs will fail).

[@xb4439]

I guess a graceful painless smiling natural shut down.

can just boil farro instead of using wheat germ.

Dr. Greger is looking great for a 35 year old.

You said it reptilian overlord!

Nuts I guess are great unless you are one of Dr. Esselstyn's heart patients! I am imagine Dr. Marbas that you would caution active heart patients about eating nuts?

[@DrLaurieMarbas]

Here are key points regarding nuts and heart health: Rich in Beneficial Nutrients: Nuts contain healthy fats (mostly unsaturated fats), fiber, protein, and various vitamins and minerals, all of which are beneficial for heart health. Lowering Bad Cholesterol: Many studies have shown that nuts can help lower LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, which is often referred to as "bad" cholesterol. High levels of LDL cholesterol are a risk factor for heart disease. Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Nuts have anti-inflammatory properties, which can be beneficial in reducing inflammation related to heart disease. Antioxidant Content: Nuts like almonds and walnuts are high in antioxidants, which can help combat oxidative stress, a contributor to heart disease. Reducing the Risk of Heart Disease: Regular consumption of nuts has been associated with a lower risk of developing heart disease. This is likely due to their effects on cholesterol levels, inflammation, and overall heart health. Portion Control is Key: While nuts are healthy, they are also high in calories. Therefore, it is important to consume them in moderation to avoid weight gain, which is a risk factor for heart disease. Salted and Roasted Nuts: It’s better to choose unsalted or lightly salted nuts. Excess sodium intake can be a risk factor for hypertension, which is a leading cause of heart disease. Individual Variations: People with specific health conditions or allergies should consult with healthcare professionals regarding their diet. For example, individuals with nut allergies should avoid them altogether.

Why would anyone take aging related advice from a man who looks 20 years older than his chronological age?

[@StanDupp6371]

Because he has no license or board certification in anything and no experience in anything. Forget about looks just stick to facts.

[@bringyourdaughtertotheslau5297]

@@StanDupp6371 Whatever works for you brother.

[@user-oh1lo3zh3x]

So in your opinion he looks like he's 71???🤣🙃

[@bringyourdaughtertotheslau5297]

@@user-oh1lo3zh3x I'd say objectively he looks 73-75 but I do know people in their 70 who look much younger than him. It's likely his rotten teeth and skin lesions that give him the aged look.

[@robertmacgregor8438]

Why you take advice from any of these anti aging charlatans. Non of these self perclaimed has made it to 900 or even 100. All snake oil and beet roots BS
