An imaging guided surgeon (interventional radiologist) & neuroradiologist, author of nutrition, medical & study skills books, Peter Rogers MD is the "Spartan Vegan."
In college he was student athlete of the year at Stanford. Graduated 1st in medical school class.
Dr. Rogers works as neuroradiologist, but also did fellowship imaging guided surgery (interventional radiology) at Harvard. He got fat in 30's and learned his way out. He was one of best medical students in USA in biochemistry and tries to understand pathophysiology. Has written a books about nutrition & study skills including "How to improve blood flow," "Hot topics in nutrition," "Straight A at Stanford & on to Harvard," "How to raise IQ, & become a genius."
Stanford university student athlete of the year, 1985. University of Illinois medical school award for best male medical student in class; best student in pathology; highest board scores in class of 333 students; biochemistry score 780/800, possibly the highest in the USA (biochem is the most difficult subject in medical school). Biochem is “considered” to include nutrition. Residency at Northwestern with 99% board scores. Fellowship in interventional radiology (imaging guided surgery) at Harvard. Fellowship in neuroradiology at Rush.
Author of multiple books about nutrition, reducing risk of disease, and study skills. Discovered almost all the major medical textbooks are 50-100 years out of date, and often, completely wrong. Secret desire #1 = to become a nutrition doctor, but can’t, because there’s no money in it. Secret desire #2 = to rewrite the major medical textbooks, but can’t, because there’s no money in it. The shocking truth is that most medical textbooks are essentially worthless, because they do no include nutrition, and most disease is caused by poor nutrition.

Dear Dr. Rogers: dropping oils proved easy; dropping sugar proved easy; dropping salt proved almost impossible until I saw one of your presentations. Your explaination of the optimal ratio between potassium and sodium gave me the inspiration do do whatever proved necessary to banish added salt from everything including my favorite multi-ingredient dish: split pea soup. After a week or so, the "odd" taste of soup and other dishes without salt vanished. Thank you. My next point of focus: minimizing protein by eating more sweet potatoes which I love and expanding my repertoire of single ingredient meals. So, Doc: thank you for your dynamic persentations and your personality which draws people like me deeper into the mysteries of good health.

[@Ranch-girl]

Great video! I’m coming from the low carb high protein community and your information is an amazing concept on low protein. How can we know that people like Dr Gabrielle Lyons and Don Layman are wrong about their studies in high protein? Thank you!!

[@courag1]

@@Ranch-girlYou have to work the problem backwards, as who lives the longest with no loss of brain function, no heart disease, no high blood sugar or blood pressure, so remain strong, not having to take medications, free from constipation and no cancers, and no obesity. These people are Blue Zones people, what do they eat? Mostly carbohydrate from plant foods and only the oils found naturally in them. If they do eat any animal protein it is very rare as for a celebration such as a holiday or a wedding. The thing is to look what causes the aforementioned diseases. The Western diet or the standard American diet. By 60, I was 80 lbs. overweight and had such arthritis all over my body, I was in a wheelchair. Not how I wanted to live, there were more days I had to use the wheelchair than not. I gave up all animal foods including all dairy, all fish, all poultry and eggs and seafood, just ate plants. Now I am 71, and not on medications and no longer overweight, able to walk 5 miles per day. I know that if I went back to how I ate, I’d get crippled again. It took just 3 weeks to be able to walk pain free. Both my mother and sister died of breast cancer, my father and maternal grandmother of Alzheimer’s. All were obese, all had arthritis, some had to have joint replacement surgeries - that was my mother and her sister. All had high cholesterol, my mother got kidney failure and died in a coma. They all took over 10 prescription meds per day. Taking no meds is because I am not sick with any lifestyle diseases. Other plant-based people get the same results I got. I follow the diet as taught by Dr. John McDougall, MD in his book “The Starch Solution”. I do not get tired of eating this way, only had 2 colds in 10 years and 1 case of flu. Yes, this is much better, my husband and I no longer have asthma too. This diet is the one that to understand why it works, helps a lot. I continue to be inspired. I got the Audible book and have listened to it many times while I walk. It has helped me to reprogram my thinking so I don’t fall back into old habits.

[@Jen-yx5mz]

@@Ranch-girl I worry about similar things. Who is right? I struggle with this everyday. I do feel encouraged when I look at Jane Esselstyns channel and her mother Anne is elderly but full of abundant life and energy eating this way.

[@karenstanton5405]

that's what makes Peter great he shares his knowledge free for everyone just like John mc dougall both great examples. They are not selling what they know to get rich eventually both will be recognized as great plant based health teachers great talk we need more like these two

[@CHEFAJ]

True! He really sells nothing

[@medogandcatadventure]

Both are true doctors. ❤

[@tinalaplaca6638]

Dr. Peter was awesome for sure.....l heard him loud and clear....teach all the young doctors what you know

[@EmpoweringCoach]

An older ones too that are stubborn and set in their old ways

[@angelocarrion3399]

I didn't know Dr. Rogers is half Puerto Rican, too! His info is always top-notch.

[@Michelle-fe3vw]

Valter Longo- The Longevity Diet- advocates very low protein as well especially for cancer. Fabulous info🙏🏻

[@ginnymartinezvaldes]

Thank you very much, CHEF AJ, for inviting this magnificent medical master. Greetings from the city of Puebla, Mexico. I am his fan and study every day through his videos. I am a cancer survivor. I would love to be able to translate the wisdom of the doctor into Spanish.

[@pamelalee9101]

I am studying him everyday, too. I’m learning so much and it’s so interesting. It’s changing my life. It’s making me appreciate my body. Thank you so much Dr Rogers and Chef AJ!

[@scottconklin7417]

CHEF AJ and Dr. Rogers please keep up this work! You are greatly appreciated, there are those of us that do really care about our health and want to know the truth. Few present it, and we all know the possible consequences of telling the truth. Please keep up this great work!!!!❤

[@medogandcatadventure]

Love this man. He is a REAL doctor.

[@robyniaea5172]

Live listening to this brilliant doctor and I also love how Chef AJ gets to the heart of all the science he presents. Mahalo!

[@emunahmurray3201]

If Dr. Rogers eats only meal a day, how does he get enough calories, fiber, etc. It must be a HUGE meal!

[@CHEFAJ]

I’ve asked him to please show us next time

[@Paddle-N-Fish]

Good question! I would find it hard to eat enough calories in one meal without added fats, all the fiber is just too filling!

[@marleri]

Really good question.

[@bitfinesse]

3lbs purple cabbage, 3lbs orange sweet potato, one can no-salt peas, one pound blueberries is a little over 2200 calories. That’s a big meal, sure, but not crazy. You’ll feel stuffed eating this in one meal but that’s where many people’s satiety index tells them to stop eating.

[@liahk1000]

​@@bitfinesse imo that is an a crazy deal meal indeed. Could never eat that much.

[@bgrobbins]

the couple that ran the marathon everyday for a year, ran slowly. it basically took all day to run the marathon.

[@Eating_4_Health]

Thanks CHEF AJ & Peter!!!!! Great Presentation with much solid and useful information. One of the best.

[@11235Aodh]

Great lecture on nutrition, as always. Thank you both!

[@susieg1]

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. I love listening to Dr. Peter

[@JasonBuckman]

Calorie restriction for longevity only works if your diet is of junk and you are restricting the calories that comes from that. It isn't the restricting of calories that gives you longevity. It's the restricting of ultra processed "food" that does.

[@liastewart9967]

Needed to hear this!

[@karenstanton5405]

thanks for a great talk again on how to improve our health

[@donnaabood7876]

Love this guy!!!

[@MyLaura33]

His presentations are biochemical! His next book could be " Optimal Biochemical Nutrition for Human Excellence"

[@erinfeely-nahem3250]

Thanks Rich, signing off, time for my lane ❤

[@JWSedona]

Watching. Hello everyone!

[@kardste8114]

Great talk, as usual! 👍🙏💫 I wonder if you have any insights on cancer cachexia in persons who cannot do much exercise. Research I found says loss of 5% body weight near time of cancer diagnosis predicts poorer outcomes, as 1/3 of All cancer patients really die of Cachexia… even if tumor is gone for some. 🥴

[@Atheria444]

My aunt died from horrible ALS. It's becoming more common, along with MS...and I have a theory.

[@fruitascension5089]

What is your theory? I'm just wondering too, because a friend recently died of ALS, and I'm noticing a higher occurrence of it too.

[@HybridParentSupport]

I wonder what Dr. Roger’s has to say about the arsenic content in rice. Edit:: found a lecture 😊

[@al_sah-lep3475]

In college to be a dietitian. Thank you for all this information.

[@eryximaque6310]

Spread the truth , please !👍

[@patrickholland3994]

Very helpful Chef AJ and Dr Rogers. My friend always brings up the French and how healthy they are. Why are the French healthier than Americans. They eat cheese, fat, animals and wine.

[@billieread2116]

I’m guessing they have smaller portions of animal products, more vegetables and they walk more.

[@billieread2116]

When I was pregnant in Europe, they did not recommend vitamins. They said their population didn’t need vitamins because they ate lots of vegetables. But, they also had lower birth weight and smoked. Just sharing my experience.

[@eryximaque6310]

French physician here. French people aren't so healthy. They eat a bit less meat and a bit more vegetables but people here look more and more like american people, sorry , with the same types and almost the same amount of health issues.

[@ginarooks8504]

Hi.I bought your vegan bundle. The only link I can find in my emails takes me to the Cy Notter videos. I can’t seem to get back to the full video library. (I can’t find the pdfs also)

[@CHEFAJ]

Please email our help desk at [e-mail] wil be happy to assist you. Thanks for getting the bundle!

[@musicmonsterman8395]

Fruit is a simple sugar... not complex

[@kardste8114]

Still listening to amino combo part. Perhaps plant protein with the fiber slows, changes how proteins are absorbed? Perhaps a Vegan Rd, PhD like Janice Stanger can answer the “too much protein “ question. So glad you ask the hard questions Dr. Rogers!! It’d be interesting to see what Campbell thinks about activating mTor with plant protein combos in cancer patients?? 👍👍💫

[@11235Aodh]

There is just so much less protein in plants that they don't cause a problem, i think that's the main thing. Animal products are insanely high with their protein, like salmon is 50% fat and 50% protein, so if you get a 200 gram piece of salmon... Versus a sweet potato with 3% protein.

[@ErickRaffai]

❤❤❤

[@EmpoweringCoach]

So much info and wow can he talks so fast. Did you speed up his talk Chef AJ?

[@CHEFAJ]

No but if you click the setting you can slow him down

[@Elizabeth-dg8dn]

Why are alcohol and HFCS included with fats on his presentation? Nuts, olive oil, chia, flax, soy, nuts, avocados, omega 3, alcohol and HFCS.

[@betzib8021]

Bec they create sat fat in the liver

[@Elizabeth-dg8dn]

@@betzib8021 Thank you

[@bitfinesse]

The HFCS travels through the portal vein from the small intestine to the liver and enters glycolysis at the three-carbon phase (instead of the six-carbon phase) - bypassing the regulatory steps, jumping ahead in line to be metabolized. The liver eventually has nowhere to send the HFCS so it stores it as fat creating a fatty liver. It just gets metabolized so fast that you have to be in a full-sprint to make use of it.

[@ivan11h]

can you find somebody to talk about nootropics and herbal medicine

[@CHEFAJ]

Can you suggest aomeone?

[@ivan11h]

@@CHEFAJ i dont know anybody, but this is something inline with biohacking.

[@JWSedona]

I think I was eating too little protein. My hair started falling out. I asked Dr. Barnard about my hair loss & he said too little protein might be the cause. I started an essential amino acid supplement & my hair is coming back. EDIT: I have a recording of Dr. Barnard saying this to me.

[@awakekate3064]

It is strange to see so many people with stories similar to this, when all the plant based doctors dispute protein needs.

[@Mrm1985100]

I would be surprised if Dr Barnard actually said that. I don't really believe your story.

[@medogandcatadventure]

@@Mrm1985100right. 👍

[@aethylwulfeiii6502]

I honestly found fats (if you don’t like nut butters) more difficult to get in, which is actually essential for some basic functions of your body.

[@betzib8021]

You could have just been getting too little zinc..iron...or a lot of other things...or yiu could have had a shift in hormones for some other reason.

[@aethylwulfeiii6502]

Please don’t take away from this that those vegan meat substitutes are somehow healthy. They literally have as much sodium chloride as seawater. Also the let’s cut out some random macronutrient is pretty solid sign of an eating disorder.

[@aethylwulfeiii6502]

Wheat corn and pea are definitely not equal to milk especially in terms of micronutrient profile and also the biology of it. There by antibodies in the white stuff.

[@barbaramadson3859]

Another excellent presentation . Rein forces why I continue the SOS free eating. Thanks to both of you. Every similar lecture helps to keep me on the right path .

[@11235Aodh]

Which nutrient is cut out? Because a whole food plant exclusive diet gives all 3 macro nutrients naturally.

[@CarlYota]

@@11235AodhI think they are referring to protein restriction. In this case it wouldn’t be an eating disorder it would be a very targeted approach to maximize longevity. Kinda like only charging your cell phone from 20 to 80 in order to maximize the battery life over the years. It makes sense that building lots of muscle uses up your cells ability to divide. I do think that we need to balance this though because so many people as they age get frail and weak. You need to have enough muscle to combat that. You don’t want to be 90 and take 2 minutes to walk up the stairs because you are so skinny and weak you can’t even function in a posh modern life. People tend to talk in extremes though. Either maximize longevity or maximize muscle and strength. But it takes some amount of muscle and strength to live a pathetic sedentary modern lifestyle too. And people think they can just get old and skinny and have no impact to that. They will not like the last five years of their extended life if this is what they do. Better to not have those years at all and maximize the quality of the previous 85. Imo

[@pantameowmeow.s.1149]

I like listening to him, but his description of everyone after a certain age? REally? I worked for years in hospitals. All I'd see in SF and Oakland were really sick, poor people. - in the hispital and on the streets. You work with such populations and you start to think everyone is "that", which I found was not true. I moved and do not see that that much anymore.
