Food As Medicine - Full Movie - Free

Food As Medicine is a documentary film that follows the growing movement of using food to heal chronic illness and disease.

Any food with a TV commercial should probably not be consumed. That’s my rule of thumb.

Good point. I have also noticed that the food I eat never or hardly ever goes on sale. Only the nutrient-poor, overly-processed stuff shows up in sales flyers.

I was dying, and doktors told me to go home and get my affairs in order. I was 40 and couldn't gain weight due to a mitochondrial disorder. I went to a Naturopathic doctor and he saved my life. Throw out the microwave, eat as much organic raw food as possible, no chemicals or preservatives, drink lots of purified water. It worked.

I'm a Certified Holistic Health Coach and I know the power of food from first hand experience. My first client was a stage 4 glioblastoma patient who was told she would die in less than a year. Not only did the lifestyle and nutritional changes keep her well but the doctors had no explanation as to why after year one she had no signs of disease. I worked with her for 3 years and gave her the tools she needed to thrive for many more. I'm also a certified yoga teacher, Reiki practitioner, reflexologist, and active aging specialist. I have seen many miracles in my practice, none of which involved pharmaceuticals.

I am a living proof that food is the best medicine ever. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis more than 20 years ago, at the age of 28, with a toddler at home. After wanting to die, I decided to do everything to be able to live a life as 'normal' as possible. I took all sorts of medicines, went into protocols, was even a guinea pig... until some 15 years later, being near to have liver cirrhosis. What helped me was my son's reaction, telling he would give me part of his liver ! I stopped eating gluten AND dairy of any kind, reduced sharply sugar and increased vegetables and here I am, more than in remission, without pain or so little and most of all, I stopped the cancer pills I had been taking for so long !

I have been healthier than iv ever been in my life and at nearly 69 i can enjoy my life with no health issues. When a young girl i was physically very active and never over ate. As soon as i became a young wife and mum at the very young age of 17 my diet changed and not for the better, as i became hooked on over processed rubbish. Over the years i gained weight and started to get all sorts of health issues such as Asthma, IBS and many infections. I became vegan for ethical reasons when i read and saw the truth of the farming and food industries when i was in my fifties and have enjoyed good health since. We are what we eat, and like the very old saying goes let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. When we educate ourselves and know better, we can be and feel better.

I noticed suprisingly i was feeling healthier and more energetic with less and more basic food. So i started to add to that by buying beans, dry peas and lentils, Sesame seeds and blueberries, Sprouting for my fresh food, beans replacing most of my previous meat. Its obvious to me hownthe different foods help!!! Now i just eat this way and wouldnt go back to my old ways of eating. Plus this way is very affordable for such healthy food.

Until you try it you'll never know how good you can feel. It's when there's no cure that most people head down this road, myself included. I had endometriosis and was given pain killers and the option of a hysterectomy. A friend recommended her nutritionist and my body responded immediately. Being completely pain free I started to take it for granted and the slippery slope of bad eating increased. Endo pain came roaring back. A colleague with recurring urinary tract infections also went to the same clinic and after years of being on and off antibiotics had complete relief just through changing her diet. Give it a try - nothing to lose and so much to gain.

[@expandingbeyondmyenvironme9724]

Thanks for sharing! I resonate with your friend’s issue! I’ve done thorough research on how to naturally heal my uti (which I was told is from the bacteria Streptococcus agalactiae). Initially, I took a prescribed antibiotic but it had no affect at all whatsoever! They tried to prescribe me something stronger, but when I looked into it, there were immense negative side effects, even someone dying! I changed the way that I was eating but the symptoms got worse because the bacteria fed off of water and nutrition (like humans do), so I was intuitively led to go on a dry fast, which is when you starve your cells and they eat the dead cells, which also contains water (endogenous)! I can tell the progression since going on my fast, and once it’s over on Sunday, I will start back on my raw Whole Foods plant based diet!

I must have grown up at the worst possible time - the 60s and 70s - in terms of eating all the most wretched processed foods, which wouldn't have even existed when my parents were growing up - Fruit Loops and Capn Crunch and Sugar Corn Pops (total yum) were every breakfast for my entire childhood. The amount of sugar I consumed on a daily basis as a child staggers me as an adult. And my father was a BRILLITANT doctor, Harvard educated, and you'd think he MUST have known something about nutrition since his specialty was Diabetes! No wonder I was a fat kid; growing up fat impacted my self esteem to such a massive degree as a child and for the rest of my life, even though I lost the weight in my early 20s. I think my life would have turned out so differently if I had been eating eggs or fresh fruit for breakfast every day, something so simple. Now I would like to go back in time please to make that happen. And I am not at all saying my life is bad now as I am a really happy and successful YT creator, but I know there are so many things I would have liked to try over the years but just knew that as a fat person (even when I wasn't fat anymore) I wasn't good enough and would fail.

I liked the concept of the video and empowering people to take their health into their own hands. I didn’t like how they still tried to villainize fats in the film, fats aren’t the enemy, sugar and processed foods are. I think everyone should figure out what way of eating is best for their body. I have an undiagnosed autoimmune disease that doctors couldn’t figure out, it’s most likely RA due to an elevated RA factor. Anyway, I started on my own journey to heal myself after I went to a migraine doctor and she told me it was just gonna get worse and that my only option was medicine for the rest of my life. I said no and walked out. I found Carnivore a few years ago, and within a couple months I was off my blood pressure medication, my ADHD was better, no more joint pain, no more burning skin, no more muscle issues, no more sleep apnea, etc. After a year I lost about 50 pounds. The past year I did really bad and started eating the Standard American Diet (SAD) on and off, and felt like shit days after each time. I am finally back on track with Carnivore for over a month and am back to my healthy self. I also naturally do IF with Carnivore, and every once in a while do an extended fast. The hardest part is definitely the social aspect, the shit food that is all around you, and how addicting companies have made their food. FYI, I’m only 32.

I think every healthcare "professional" will just try to guide you towards some prescriptive medicine, which in the case of auto-immune diseases just partially alleviate some symptoms, but lead to ever increasing doses and consequently side-effects! There's a clue in the name of auto-immune, it's the immune system railing against something within the body, which is always a toxin of either environmental or food origin. I've heard of people having success on a vegan diet, but I think in this case and yours, it is mainly due to the removal of crap from the diet. Wish you all the success in the world on your path. Greg.

Good fat: coconut oil, grass fed butter, and pure olive oil (at low temperature~ not for frying) Bad fat: seed oils, vegetable, corn, soy, cottonseed, canola etc and shortening.

I worked for 18 months, almost 7 days a week, 12 hour days in a government-funded clinic during the earlier part of the pandemic. I'm also a personal trainer but ended up eating a lot of the crap management put in the clinic breakroom for us. I got so sick! I developed horrible insomnia and was misdiagnosed as having schizophrenia. I was even put on medication for schizophrenia. The medication caused me to have a wreck (because I don't have schizophrenia) and now I've been charged with a DUI because the accident was medication related. It is imperative that I eat correctly. My life is a mess right now because of FOOD and medication I should have never been on. If my nutrition had been good, I would have never been on the medication. Unfortunately, the district attorney thinks that's all a bogus attempt for me to dodge a bullet.

You can try OMAD (one meal a day) to have a nutritious meal with maybe a magnesium glycinate for better sleep and prevent cramps, and vitamin D3 + K2 supplement depends how well you absorb sunlight if its necessary or not, best supplements for the price and benefits. Look into intermittent fasting. Some foods that are pretty cheap and nutritious: sardines in water, pasture raised eggs, fermented saurkraut with garlic, and grass fed butter. Also making your own bone broth maybe an option for another protein and collagen option. 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar with the mother diulted in 8 oz of water helps with heart burn.

[@JohnsonNestorFamily]

I enjoyed watching this movie and I was familiar with Dr. Wahls amazing story. However, I have to say that I felt that only half the story was being told. It's not just what you eat, it's also how often you should eat. There was no mention about fasting, intermittent fasting and the benefits...such as autophagy. It doesn't explain the insulin story which could be why the participants in the film were having trouble staying on their new diets. It also seemed to promote fruits, which are high in fructose and inflammatory. I thought for sure Dr. Jason Fung would be contributing to explain. I'm 58. I've lost 115lbs so far since November by following Dr Fung, reading his books (The Obesity Code) , eating a low carb high fat diet and intermittent fasting. I'm off my blood pressure meds, my osteoarthritis pain is so much better I'm able to be active again and swimming and my asthma is gone. The film gave me the impression it was just all about will power and eating well. It's not. Dr Fung could have explained why.

[@margochanning6868]

So, in other words, you were overeating and you are not overeating any more. Are you still obese? If you think fasting has nothing to do with will power, you are wrong. The reason intermittent fasting works is because it helps to prevent you from overeating. I lost 100 pounds without fasting and I have kept that weight off for the last 4 years. I eat fruit. I take NO prescription drugs and have NO chronic illnesses or diseases. I am 64. I am 5'4" and I weigh 115 pounds. You are eating a restrictive diet that includes restricting carbohydrates. I eat a diet that only includes restricting calories. I only eat enough calories as I burn per day. I eat a healthy mix of all 3 macronutrients. We need all 3 macronutrients. Stop demonizing or glorifying particular macronutrients.The REAL PROBLEM is that we make poor food choices - junk food processed food - and we OVEREAT. Our bodies' organs were NOT made to process such huge quantities of junk food. Intermittent fasting is a mind trick to get overeaters to stop eating so much. And restrictive diets like keto are a trick to make you focus more on your food choices. All restrictive diets are all about the magic pill magic formula mentality - from vegan to carnivore. The scientific reality is that calories (a measure of energy) consumed have to be less than calories burned in order to lose body fat. Bonus scientific fact. Fat has 9 calories per gram. Carbohydrate is around 4 calories per gram. Protein is around 4 calories per gram.

[@JohnsonNestorFamily]

@@margochanning6868 I really think you would enjoy reading The Obesity Code. And also The Cancer Code. Calories in vs calories out just doesn't work for MOST people for the long haul. You are an exception ☺️. If it did, we wouldn't have an obesity epidemic like we do now because that is what we've been told to do for the past 20-30 years. It's what I was told..... time and time again. And I would lose weight, and gain it back. I would often say " Losing weight is easy! I've done it hundreds of times." Ever wonder why the TV show The biggest loser doesn't have reunion shows? The language of the body is hormones, not calories. The body doesn't know what a calorie is. Hormones react to what we eat. When your insulin is low (not eating or fasting) your body switches to using stored food (body fat) for energy. It can only do this when insulin is low. Once it learns to use body fat for energy and learns to feed itself, the hunger goes away. This is why I don't get hungry during my 48hr. fasts. The hunger hormones are very powerful. You can't just decide not to be hungry. Natural fats trigger satiety hormones and don't raise insulin. Fasting allows your body to feed itself from body fat. It's what it's supposed to do and perfectly natural. It's also not a new fad or trick. People have been fasting since the beginning of time. All religions have required it for their followers. They called it cleansing (autophagy). More and more they are finding benefits of fasting... even if you don't need to lose weight (Cancer prevention, Alzheimer's prevention etc.). Interesting stuff! I think you would appreciate the information in his books and lectures. I wish I would have learned this year's ago. No wonder I struggled most of my life. I get it now. I've paraphrased a lot of what I remember from Dr. Fung's videos and books.... and other doctors I follow. My life has been changed forever ❤️ P.s. There are no "essential" carbs we need. Unrefined, natural carbs have nutrients we can use and benefit from, but they are not essential. Google it😉

Happy that you have found your way to thrive with good health. However, over my extensive reading of people's stories in the last few years I realise that nobody can say "my way is the best". We need to say "this way keeps me healthy." One thing looks pretty certain for good health for all - drop processed foods. After that, individuals can have issues with dairy, eggs, various plants, seeds, nuts, meat. Some people just need to eat meat to do well - not even necessarily all types of meat. Others are fine with all types of natural products (this is me - but I keep carbs low to avoid diabetes). Others are best only with plants - with or without eggs/dairy (although supplements can be vital). I just can't deny all those anecdotes from people saying "I am feeling so good, in such good health, now that I am doing X" Please have an open mind!

I have remitting relapsing MS. I was on the Wahls protocol for 3.5 years and have switched to a Whole Foods plant based diet after that. I used to get numb fingers and a numb forearm frequently. I also used to bite my tongue all the time, since I was loosing control of my jar movements. Ever since I changed to the Wahls paleo plus protocol, those symptoms went away. I also have not had any relapse in 6 years. I do take medication, but taking medication did not have any impact on my symptoms. They are meant to delay relapses. The body is able to repair some of the damages of MS. One thing that I want to point out is that we are all different and some of our diet approaches need to be fine tuned for our needs. For me, being dairy free is important. I can tolerate beans if they have been pressure cooked for 30 minutes. I started baking my own bread, using mainly spelt flour. Eating a variety of vegetables is important no matter if you choose a paleo or vegan approach.

I feel pretty much the same health wise, but now I also feel good about the fact that I am helping the planet now. If both of them work for you, I recommend wfpb. Of course, if you only see progress with Wahls, I can understand if you want to stick to that!

Great presentation, I applaud the makers of this movie and especially the participants, It takes courage to put your life out in the public sphere to be scrutinized by other people. I wish them all success on their journeys. The underlying theme of this presentation clearly advocates for the paleo diet. This is not an issue as a natural whole foods paleo diet is head and shoulders above the standard American food triangle. Eating this way after eating highly processed foods will clearly make you healthier. My only criticism is that in a 1:24 minute video about food as medicine they don't even talk about sugar until the 1:16 minute mark. That and the veiled demonization of fat that was eluded to in a few of the presenters comments.

I wish Western doctors would institute even just a meager diet and exercise program for every patient before prescribing medications (depending on the problem of course). Why prescribe a medication for what the body can do on it’s own. It’s amazing how exercise has solved nearly every nagging ache and pain I’ve had. I suffered from chronic daily headaches/migraines for 20 years. 2 years ago I was at the end of my rope getting 25 headaches/month. I had nagging necks stiffness that the dr said was arthritis. Aerobic exercise cured it all. I went from overusing my prescribed medication and untold number of nsaids to nearly 0. Light jogging, biking and swimming has cured it all.

[@marlenegold280]

Standard allopathic doctors know little about diet; nearly zero learned in med school and what they are taught is wrong.

Sorry, you can't outrun a bad diet. But I get your point about how exercise can make lots of difference.

[@LeahsThings]

I appreciate that this documentary stressed that food as medicine is not one specific meal plan, but rather can present differently depending on an individual's specific needs. The biggest common denominator seems to be less processed food of course. :) I can speak to my own experience, that I used to get random bouts of hives that we could not explain through record keeping or allergy tests. Once I left home I had the option to stop eating meat, and a couple of years passed as a vegetarian before I realized that I hadn't experienced another flare-up since. I still haven't-- I won't go back to eating meat now that I know I don't /have/ to go weeks at a time with horrible rashes! But I can't exactly prescribe that everyone do the same thing for all cases; maybe that's not a tenable strategy for someone with severe legume allergies. Every body's different!

[@leenysnell8804]

You are right - lots of people have issues with plants - and find a carnivore diet is best for them. Of course, cut out everything in a packet or an advertisement!

[@carriesing]

Keep track of your blood sugar. I developed type 2 diabetes on vegetarian diet. Meat healed me.

[@bums009]

Its more than likely the types of meat you were eating rather than just all meat ever. Meat should always be free range, grass fed and unprocessed (no additives, preservatives) people don't always consider this and just leap straight to vegetarianism when it may not have been the issue. Also if one does eat meat, one should eat offal regularly as those are the most nutrient dense cuts. And bone broth too.

[@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094]

Actually not being obligate carnivores, 99.99% ofl humans can thrive on whole food plant based diet. There are soooo many variations within this diet and there will be one that would suit most people.

If you don't like liver it means you buy bad liver from unhealthy animals and that shouldn't be consumed. Liver from healthy animals has aromatic smell to it and tastes delicious. Some people compare its taste to chocolate.

I am naturopathic doctor. I have treated hundreds close to being thousands of patients at this point, and everyone improves with diet changes. I have had the pleasure of treating 3 patients with MS. The first patient I had with MS was when I was in school. I remember this so clearly, when I got her to add 1 leafy green to her diet each day she improved by leaps and bounds, she was so happy and didn't believe how good she felt. It was so awesome that 1 change helped her so much. As we worked together and changed her diet and started her on some supplements, she started walking again and in about 3 months she was able to stop your medications.

[@atthecrosshealing]

Try raw vegan or high raw vegan. Tons of fresh fruits veggies nuts seeds. Start slow. Fresh raw juices each morning. A plate of fruit. Then a big salad. Snacks is smoothies. Chia pudding. Fresh fruit platters. Etc give it two weeks and see how she does. If she can’t do nuts seeds do pea protein powders. When I switched my family we changed immensely with health. From severe back to back infections monthly. To healthy. In two weeks a long lasting lung infection suddenly ended. And didn’t come back. High vitamin d 3 and C. B12.

[@AuNTIeGreen]

If the previous reply about the raw vegan diet doesn't help or makes it worse give carnivore a try. There are many testimonials out from people that changed to carnivore in a day and started feeling better immediately and their doctors had them set up for surgery but didn't have to have it! Always look at all options and get second opinions when you can! We have been lied to so much we don't know what is truth any longer and choose to listen to and believe those who we have been told to believe even if they don't really know the truth!

[@carolynm4962]

The people getting food stamps are allowed plenty to buy good, healthy foods for their family. They are making poor choices if they think they cannot afford good food. Rather than buying the individually prepackaged, flavored, instant oatmeal, they should buy the large container of generic whole grain oatmeal, and some apples. Those who refuse to prepare healthy foods for their families are doing everyone a huge disservice.
