Healthy Living LIVE! | Interview with Dr. Alan Goldhamer

[@kencarey3477]

I watch chef AJs videos several time over. Get something new everytime

[@ixo666]

Dr. Goldhamer - scarily motivating.

[@CHEFAJ]

Indeed!

[@susannec659]

Hanging on edge of my seat for every word!

[@sevinity4669]

I switched from vegan keto to plant only after watching your videos for 2 days. Thanks so much for sharing this life saving information. 💯🙌🙏

[@Ocean-kayak]

Chef AJ . This was so great! Thank you!

[@lisengel2498]

What a wonderfull dialogue - so nuanced, so informative and so well well explained - thank you so much

[@kencarey3477]

You are a wizard at asking the right questions

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you!

[@bette-lynnsteiner1107]

This Healthy Living Live was off the charts inspiring, empowering, amazing!!

[@betzib8021]

But wow his general insight and understanding of people..including me.. and their interaction with foods is so helpful and makes so much sense...i really appreciate this interview..it is amazing, Chef AJ. Your work has helped me the most even though I am too skinny...the information you present is just so truthful.

[@lauriethomas7192]

I love this man! Thank you again for these videos- huge help!

[@CHEFAJ]

Me too!

[@gosiakonstanty3456]

I love these interviews with doctor Goldhamer. I just bought his book, and I love it! Thank you for doing such a good job on doing this interview, it's so informative

[@linzertube]

I love what Dr. Goldhamer said, starting at 1:00:34, about keeping everyone in the TrueNorth environment for optimal success. It’s absolutely is the truth, that, while in that place of positivity and learning, it is so EASY to stay motivated and on-track. I, personally, would LOVE to live (and work) in the wonderful TrueNorth bubble, with like-minded, truth- and health-seeking people. To be out of the protein-obsessed, SOFAS-saturated, madness, that is “regular” life, would be ideal. Having to fight, daily, against my people-pleasing nature and the whiny, stubborn people, who don’t want to give up their “comfort” tastes, for a whole-food, SOFAS-free diet, is EXHAUSTING (and a little depressing)!!! Thank-you, Chef AJ, for another amazing interview, with one of my heroes, too.💗. And, thank-you, Dr. Goldhamer, for your time.

[@CHEFAJ]

They are hiring now

[@wellnessgirl2806]

Wow just fantastic! Thank you so much for this great interview. Dr Goldhamer is a legend and you always do such a great job interviewing!

[@CHEFAJ]

Thanks!

[@deb52811]

Glad to hear that the Pleasure Trap will be coming out in an audio version! I spend a lot of my time in the car and will look for the audio once it is available.

[@bettyjo4850]

This is by far the best interview I've heard in a very long time. Came back this morning to re-listen. Dr. Goldhamer gives such clear, no-nonsense advice. I had cut my coffee consumption to one cup per day. After hearing this, it will now be zero per day. I was up at midnight thinking about this interview while pouring out the remainder of my maple syrup and low-sodium Tamari sauce. Thanks so much Dr. Goldhamer and Chef AJ!!

[@CHEFAJ]

[@karenzielke9387]

Dr. Goldhamer is hysterical!

[@CHEFAJ]

Yes he is!

Good luck! can't wait to hear all about it!

[@MarkSaldebamobile]

Great interview team! Very educational, and AJ you're glowing!!!

[@childofdestiny2811]

I've been WFPB and oil free for about 2 years and always had a TERRIBLE time with intense hunger after dinner, which always led me back to the fridge despite my most heroic efforts. I removed salt and sugar from my diet 2 weeks ago and haven't had an urge to eat after dinner since. Not a single one. I don't believe it was fatigue that caused the late night eating for me. It was the 3 tbs of blue agave and soy sauce I drizzled on my dinner every night!!!

[@CHEFAJ]

Dr. Goldhamer says those chemicals fool our brains' satiety mechanisms and cause us to overeat

[@vinnettepope8255]

Awesome presentation awesome team ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@chriscesdeomini]

Dr. Goldhamer is my spirit animal. 🤩

[@CHEFAJ]

Love it!

[@suecollins3246]

What _kind_ of animal?

[@insalt54]

Exactly - about the food allergy process. Years ago I went through that. Removed everything and then added things back. When I was able to return to "regular" foods I didn't put pork, beef or fish back. I stayed on a gluten-free diet for about 3 months before moving back to more foods. Later, years later, I've come to the conclusion that I don't tolerate wheat very well. So I limit it.

[@kimmyjeans2]

Well dang, Doc you don't mix words about chocolate and coffee. omg, my lifestyle choices just got much more real. Coffee is my devil addiction . This was a great video but it reinforced what I was doing wrong . Chef AJ I just ordered you book on amazon I am jumping in both feet. I am ready for change.

OMG, I almost choked on my drink laughing at 44:55 😂😂😂 He was so cute! He was giving us "Instant Pot-ers" a mere inch, and it wasn't easy for him, LOL! I so loved this interview, THANK YOU BOTH for making it and sharing it with us all. YOU INSPIRE!!!!!!

[@LuckyDayDream]

lol, his facial response on that question and then he says begrudgingly "yeah I guess so..."

[@SolomonWolfson]

Dr. Goldhamer got so heated towards the end, he set off a car alarm. This guy is G.O.A.T.

[@tessarosaliebrandt5793]

Exited as hell😂😂I’m laughing and crying at the same time. I had kind of the same reaction (after when I knew he was safe)when my unhealthy living husband got covid last year. But all the terrible things that happened weren’t enough to get him turned around. Its very sad but I realise it’s true that all I can do is nothing but my own job and hoping the next hit will severe enough but not too bad. It’s very scary though and causes lots of stress and anxiety. ( apart from the stuff in the house 😅). Thankyou very much for pointing this out dr Goldhamer. Helps me to be realistic. If even You cant convince your brother…

[@rosahypnotherapy]

Dr. Goldhamer! He is very bright. Very dark humour though. LOL

[@mariakrehel1724]

Feed my grand babies pop corn over other things. Glad to hear that is okay especially since they are not overweight:)

48:24 ! I would love to make a seperate video of this and just play it over and over :D Thank you for this interview!!

[@fuzzfriendly]

Omg thank you for the heart :) You're the best!! I'm pretty new to this whole world and I'm sooo grateful for your hard work and dedication!!!

[@loveofinquiry8067]

Chef AJ you ask the best questions. I wish you could interview Byron Katie on weight loss beliefs that hinder weight loss.🌱🌺

[@CHEFAJ]

I don't know her but I believe the food will trump any beliefs one might have.

[@lisengel2498]

I got very curious about the importance of the different temperatures in preparing foods - could you make a program focussing on that?

[@karahamil3657]

I really like this guy!!!

[@CHEFAJ]

Me too!

[@susiemouse]

So PLEASED to hear The Pleasure Trap is coming to Audible !! I have a 3 hour daily commute to work on Amtrak, and make great use of Audible. I'll be buying The Pleasure Trap just as soon as it's available.

[@eelkeaptroot1393]

I can see why some would call him Godhammer!

Can we fill up on rice in the same way AJ fills up on leafy greens to engage the stretch receptors?

[@g.e.boroush5176]

You can fill up on rice - or anything. But you have to remember that if you are trying to lose weight and you fill up on a more calorie dense food, you may sabotage your weight loss. That's why, if you're trying to lose weight, eat your least calorie dense foods first and eat a lot of them. Then eat your starchier foods like rice, winter squash, potatoes.

[@marilynfraser4925]

I had lapband surgery in 2008. The Dr. declined to take it out. Is it a problem if I eat less than what you’re suggesting? Also, my husband is diabetic. How does eating potatoes affect him?

[@CHEFAJ]

Unfortunately dr. Goldhamer doesn't have time to check the comments on my KZbin page but you can call TrueNorth for a consultation

[@emilyyao168]

Chef AJ, can you ask Dr. Goldhammer the benefits of Golden Milk, ie Turmeric Milk next time you interview him?

[@presetforparadise9080]

Is there a date for the audible release of The Pleasure Trap yet??? I'm patiently waiting to purchase the audible copy the minute it's released, and want to recommend it to others!! Thanks!

[@CHEFAJ]

Hopefully next month

[@fizzyc0la]

Chef AJ, do you also have these interviews available as a podcast? If not could you? It would make it a lot easier to listen in the car or during exercise if they were in that audio format 😇 Either way, if you cannot make these a podcast I will continue to watch anyway. I really appreciate the content you create, keep up the great work!

[@CHEFAJ]

I think someone was doing this for me but down t know where they are. I will find out.

[@martyritz23]

Is there gonna be an "The Ego Trap" book?

[@tessarosaliebrandt5793]

I think dr Doug Lisle tries to write one for ages now😅

[@pawlet]

Would it be beneficial to juice fast while working?...i really want to fast, and water fasting is out because of work and home stress. but I feel like a juice fast will be possible.

[@CHEFAJ]

Ask Dr. G. He does free consults

[@VirginiaRux]

I’ve always wondered, if the lack of carbohydrates will put the body into ketosis and juice fasting still has carbohydrates and soluble fiber, are you or aren’t you still going into ketosis? What mechanism is happening on a juice fast?

[@lf8238]

By my experience, you will not. Best to check your blood sugar levels as well as Ketones. Keto Coach makes a very good Ketometer. I bought mine at Amazon.

[@ruthruthless]

I am a vegan and when I eat sos free it does reduce my bloating, and when I eat processed food I bloat more again but even after 3 months sos free I still had post meal bloating, just less than on processed food. Also, the longer I eat sos free the slower the bloating reduction so it seems after a month I can't deflate more but then after 3 months I deflate a bit more. Is it possible I might deflate more if I continued being sos free for 6 months? It's frustrating how every time I eat something processed I lose weeks or months of de-bloating progress. It would be nice if I knew there were reason to believe my post meal bloating could continue to reduce more if I avoid processed food for longer periods of time.

[@lf8238]

I find a small amount of salt is necessary. It has a contractive nature due to the mineral content. It also helps acidify your stomach which helps properly digest foods. No oil, no sugar....I'm on board. But salt is neccesary.

[@readbooksoutloud5577]

Goldhamer looks freaking amazing. Is he wearing makeup?

[@CHEFAJ]

Absolutely not. He abhors chemicals. He is almost 60!!! 42 years of eating a health promoting diet works wonders.

[@HighCarbDiabetic]

ALMOST 60?!!

[@tessarosaliebrandt5793]

Look at his recent interviews!!! A ma zing

[@martyritz23]

At 54:30 he references which book? The Emperor of.... by...

[@joyblom3547]

Hello Chef AJ. Could you ask a Plant based Dr about crohns disease and medications. What should people with crohns be careful of eating because even some plant foods can hurt... Sometimes raw foods, apples, beans ect can cause discomfort. Is there any hope for people with crohns to get off medications. I am on methotrexate and my Dr wont let me leave it.

[@CHEFAJ]

I am not interviewing any in the near future but he offers free consults.

[@joyblom3547]

CHEF AJ. Hello Chef AJ Thanks for replying. I live in South Africa so I am not sure if I would be able to get a consultation. But I will keep watching your shows and hopefully in the future someone will be able to answer my question. Thanks again

My ears perked up when he started sharing how it would be okay to eat chocolate. And then when he said that the way to consume it is to spread it all over your body.....LOL

[@WholeBibleBelieverWoman]

I'm a bit confused as to what he is saying at about 45:00 -- that 210 degrees is safer than cooking potatoes at 250 degrees. No one I know goes that low. Is he being funny -- or talking about degrees centigrade or what? All I know is that the lower the temperature I can cook something the better is my rule of thumb.

[@bitfinesse]

Yo. The Golden Hammer is BEGRUDGINGLY okay with using pressure on vegetables. THEN, he clearly VERY suspicious of “air-frying,” I mean, talk about substituting for drugs. Aspartame, erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, etc. instead of sugar is the vibe I get with “air-fryers.” Goldhamer is MUH BOY 👊🏼 Sorry, guys. I subconsciously shake my head when I walk past the full-blown air-fryer PLANOGRAM at Walmart. I see the look in the eyes of the normies, hopeful making just this one change is all it’s going to take. Currently successful in all attempts to NOT lean and whisper, “let it goooooo” 🤫 Every time I launch a 4-piece in my InstaPotAto, I think, “this has GOT to be doing something viscous to these poor papas. I have to think of pressure differently. I watched a grown man have his face removed by opening a 6,000-gallon-capacity vessel incorrectly, on the wrong side of the dome hinge, with 2lbs pressure on the vessel. Pressure: block and bleed. Block. And. Bleed. Sorry Chef AJ, gotta take Goldhamer’s sentiment on this 🙏🏻

I get home from teaching at 730 i have to b in bed by 9 to get up at 430 to get to work by 730. I cant get dinner ready before 8 and so i hav an hour to eat a salad and get ready for bed. Is he only working with people that have unlimited flex time or more hours in the day than the rest of the working population? There is no time to eat at work except for 25 min lunch and mayb an apple after school. No time for breakfast. When you hav to be at work by 730. I eat no junk but i sure am exhausted at the end of the workday and yes that is when I hav to get most of my nutrition for the day and then rush to get in bed. He sees people rich enough to come to True North. I posit that you guys are so unrealistic for the working middle class. The diet choices advice...yes, it is great..you can make those good choices no matter what you do for a living....but all this managing of times for eating..these people are not looking at the real world for those who work long hours and hav no choice about when we get to eat and sleep.

[@g.e.boroush5176]

I have worked 12-hour days as well - difficult! I prep large amounts of food in advance on my days off: pots of rice and beans and steamed vegg. I put potatoes into my counter top oven, turn them on for 1 hour and go to bed- they are there in the morning ready to go. I have a slow cooker that I use that can cook either all night or all day. One has to think creatively and think in advance. I'm a working-Joe too!!

[@betzib8021]

@@tessarosaliebrandt5793 hey Tessa. I retired. For the first 9 months I slept 12 hour nights and took a 1 hour nap. I felt rested but still very very tired a lot. Then I watched a video by Chef AJ several months ago where she interviewed Dr Peter Rogers. It was amazing...I went to his tiny you tube channel. He has philosophy lectures ( which I pretty much ignored)...and health lectures...which are incredible....heavy on biochemidtry that supports his observations. He is a radiologist who sees the images of what is happening inside people due to different diets. I followed his version of the plant based diet. My blood pressure dropped for the first time ever. I am now down to one 1/2 bp pill. My energy started coming back slowly but steadily. I now sleep 8 1/2 hrs per night on average...but if I need to sleep less for a trip I'm OK. I don't need naps ever. I now have energy and now I feel like exercising. I eat exactly the way he promotes...but I still eat whenever I want to and I don't look at the clock to determine when I eat. I do finish about 2 hours before sleeping. I never gain weight no matter how much I eat. So...yes...and thank you for asking....I got better. Did retiring make a difference...well my exhaustion did not improve..I just got to sleep a lot more..and woke up tired. It looked like I retired to sleep til death. I had loved my job so I didn't have undue stress with what I had been doing. Dr. Rogers made the difference. His you tube channel will pop up if you search Dr. Peter Rogers. He doesn't sell anything...doesn't promote products...just puts up these videos to help people. He responds in detail and quite promptly to every commenters question. I think the changes in my body are amazing...especially since I am in my late seventies. You are a kind person to ask.

[@chelsea911]

it's not the norm to work 12 hour shift with only 25minute break. I think it's the whole reason we celebrate labour day as a holiday, the unions fought for the 8 hour workday and for weekends. We also get an hour break where I work and I think that's government enforced. So you are overworked, and you'll have to just do the best you can.
