Dr Greger you are an INSPIRATION! I’m 52 and since 21st June 2022, I’ve given up alcohol, coffee, dairy and meat and now eat MASSES more food than I ever used to, of plant based whole food and today I bought the smallest T Shirt I’ve ever owned because now I not only feel INCREDIBLE but am a stone lighter (and at 5 ft 2 that’s a LOT) This is all because I’ve reducated myself watching and listening to you….the results are so motivational! I had familial hyper cholesterol and can’t wait to restest my bloods in September (I’m sure there’ll be a massive difference )and I will tell all the health care professionals about the AMAZING effects of whole food plant based eating. THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊🥳🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎨🎼xxxxxx

This process may take longer with more patience than some possess. Many, still cling to the habits and addictions of taste, ignoring the more important aspects of wellness and longevity, despite the climate catastrophes unfolding. hahaha Just do the right thing and go on living.

I was a meat eater only, and now I'm slowly starting to introduce plants to my diet. I'm adding oats, psyllium and chia seeds to my shakes. Any other recommendations?

If you haven't covered it already, I'd like to see a video on vegan junk foods that we should avoid and why. Do these foods include seitan and mock meats? I try to minimize sugar and fried food, but I'd like to see where you draw the line. Love your content!

Is TMAO the evil twin of LMAO?

[@nehha23]

You are a gift to mankind Dr!

Dr McGregor I love your videos. I've been trying to control my sugar naturally for the past 2 years it was pretty high. I've been eating a lot more whole foods. I've found that eating eggplant drastically brought blood sugar down and is keeping it at 101- 111 a couple of days of eating it. My blood sugar was in the 200s. Can you make a video on eggplant and maybe the effects it has on diabetes.Are there any studies on it.

[@Fearzero]

There's definitely not a one size fits all. I'm vegan but the diet causes severe cramping and excess gas STILL after 20 years.

[@sunaxes]

I think this might be one of your most important videos. This clear link between bugs and food type. And how the system dynamic plays a critical role in leading to negative/positive effects on health, is really interesting and eye opening.

[@jadedk9916]

I notice there's a huge difference between eating two eggs and eating a sirloin steak when it comes to the TMAO level. At

Thank you, Dr Greger! Saving lives one video at a time! 👍👏👏

Hi Dr Gregor, I see you’re on a treadmill. What brand is it? I’m looking to buy a treadmill.
