In Italy, because the Health Care is free, the doctors always get to the source of the pain and always explain the food benefits and what we must eat, no processed food what so ever!!

[@tijana4099]

Maybe YOUR doctor! it's false to say that every single one of them is doing so! I live in Italy and in my experience doctors don't care at all about the source of your pain. They're just trying to alleviate the simptoms, that's it.

[@HenIchaer]

Your statement is a logical fallacy. First, even if it were 'always' so, it has nothing to do with free healthcare (not that it ever actually is free, as you are paying for it your whole life). It is 'free' in the UK but it's utter trash. Second, it has nothing to do with the individual doctor's approach. Third, you're generalising based on a single experience; the general truth seems to be much more dismal, and you were simply lucky to encounter a truly educated doctor.

[@geralddecaire6164]

@@HenIchaer Well, that's a pile of crap. All governments that have socialized medicine have a zealous interest in not having to allocate their limited resources on chronic diseases. Canada is a great example to that point where their doctors are actually rewarded financially if they're pro active in their preventive strategies. In France, school kids are only allowed to eat whole foods rather than the processed garbage the states continuously feed our victimized kids. The point that was made about Italy being concerned about preventative measures is spot on and the other Italian refuting that point simply because he has an idiotic doctor is probably true but only anecdotal and not representative of the consensus in Italy.

[@galespressos]

Italy seems a beautiful country. Great to read that your doctors have focused on food benefits and how to eat better for health. Also, focusing on basics the patient can do such as eating better is a good way to reduce costs for the health system especially as you said the patient doesn’t pay when they go to the doctor. Hopefully more and more doctors will focus on preventing illness as well as reversing it to the extent possible by encouraging the patient to do what they can for health. Thanks for sharing your experience! ❤

I lost 65lbs eliminating processed carbohydrates from my diet. I don't eat anything that comes out of a box that's labeled. No bread, no white rice, no sugar.

I listen to a LOT of health and fitness podcasts, but this is one of the most broad ranging yet concise I've come across to date. It basically covers everything. When people next ask me what wellness and health podcast to listen to, I'll recommend this one in a heartbeat.

[@midi510]

1959 was a good year to be born. I grew up eating natural whole foods and have lived at 8,000' less than three miles from tow different wilderness areas. I work at 9,000' - 11,000' and play at up to 14,500'. I have a very physical job and my co-workers, at half my age, aren't as strong and healthy. I go backcountry skiing and ski mountaineering nearly every week with guys half my age and they often have a hard time keeping up. I completely agree with what Mark is laying down. I'm not even trying to live longer, but want the best quality of live while I'm here.

[@BetterThanMamma]

I think a big part is also played by the the packaging. I grew up in Italy and all the vegetables, fruit and animal proteins didn’t come in plastic packaging like now here in America. You went shopping and you got the food you choose in paper bags. The food would get to the grocer in cartons or crates. The butcher would get his animals hanging in the refrigerated truck then butcher them and sell the pieces in butcher paper (you can find that here in America still in a few stores). Beside the fact that the food in Italy is regional and seasonal the fact that is not constantly in contact with plastic I think is really important. Things are changing there too regrettably and many things are becoming more premade and industrial.

[@mj8495]

Good points - packaged foods are more profitable, so that is why it happens. The only antidote is educated consumers - we can shop for the food that is not packaged and processed, but it has to be a conscious choice.

[@SallySturman]

It was like that in the UK too when I was growing up.

[@lauragesicki5499]

I think you make an excellent point about plastics and packaging. Fresh food needs fresh air. To me there is no doubt it changes the quality of the nutrition. Still, whole packaged foods are better than fully processed. It’s nice to have a bit of a garden even indoors to get maximal benefits from herbs etc.

[@josephhuether1184]

Processed sugary food has become a form of entertainment…a legal “recreational drug” and…good grief…it is all over the place and heavily marketed to children EVERYWHERE! Also…food/eating/breaking bread with loved ones is an important cultural ritual.

What's amazing is that society is okay with being poisoned slowly by the food companies in the name of money. It's ironic people demonstrate for all kinds of issues but yet when it comes to their health and their childrens health they look away and don't care. The obesity in children has doubled in the last 5 years. Also what quadrupled in the last 20 years is mental illness and it has a lot to do with the processed food intake and the environmental stress society is under these days.

[@dennisward43]

Exactly but the main reason is ignorance. There is hardly anyone in the media telling the truth about processed food and sugars. It needs to be shouted from the rooftops but there is deathly silence. Governments also keep quiet despite knowing the truth. I guess they fear that if everyone stopped eating junk food the economy would suffer badly. That may be so but eventually it would recover and most people are not going to change overnight, if at all.

[@artemisliontas4748]

@@dennisward43 Society has been so dumb down that l don't have much hope for change in the future. I work with the public and its sad to see how screwed up their priorities are. In fact l am also getting tired in educating my doctors who have zero knowledge of nutrition, vitamins and how important they are. One is a cardiologist the other General practitioner. The good thing is that the GP is starting to take the vitamins l suggested to him and he feels better. The cardiologist nice guy but clueless of the importance of vitamin D3, K2 and nutrition. I had to send him some studies from England to educate him. If people depend on the media to educate them they are in huge trouble since the media is owned by the food companies and the pharmaceutical companies. The government is a lost cause too. We elect officials to make the right decisions and to protect the public but yet they sellout to the cooperations for money and power. What makes it even worse is that the public knows of how corrupt the officials are but yet accepts it and no consequences for the officials. Now the fashion industry including the media advertise that being big is beautiful in other words being fat or obese is the new beautiful look. Its really sad. :(

[@Nedmar]

I am so glad that I was endowed with common sense right from the start of my life. At the age of 17 I was already vegetarian and I gave up sugar entirely, including coca-cola and liquid crap like that, and for a time I even became macrobiotic. Now I have been sugar-free for over 20 years, I live on organic foods and I only eat what I myself have cooked, rather frugally I have to add. I am 42, but people always think I must be some 30 years old at most. Common sense paid off.

[@imaanadams5987]

But that is a very difficult thing to achieve, you must really have insane self discipline skills. I wish I could one day be able to say, I don’t eat sugar for over 20 years already. Good for you

[@Nedmar]

@@imaanadams5987 Well this is not everything, BTW: I usually start my day at 3 am. with a cold shower right after waking up, then I meditate listening to sutras, and after that I do calisthenics and yoga for almost 2 hours before taking my breakfast. If I could free myself from sugar, then so can you and everybody else. It is a matter of willpower, really. Start right now, take the determination to quit sugar completely and forever, don't let that filthy poison ruin your body, for it is the only one you have, and none other. Take a first step towards freeing yourself from that sweet drug which is slowly but steadily corroding you from inside.

[@resslerartstudios]

So how do you play the game of eating socially ? If im invited to say dinner or a lunch, i always plan a way to fit in. My eating habits have only changed the past 2 years. If im at a party where there are drinks, i always have a glass with water or selzer with a lemon and straw. I never speak how everything in the room is eating and drinking poison. Only if im asked or the subject comes up.

[@Nedmar]

@@resslerartstudios Well, I have to start with the fact that I am an INFJ, which implies that my social life is extremely restricted and scarce. But in the very rare event of a social gathering, I somehow try to find solutions to problems arising eventually. Alcohol is out of question, partly because I am intolerant to it, so in this aspect there can be no compromise whatsoever. But if I ask for a tea, I also ask them to bring me honey instead of sugar. Wholemeal bread and veggies are luckily staple options in most restaurants and other places of the like, so that makes things easier. I do not talk about food issues, I am no preacher. Everybody is free to eat what they like. The infos about healthy and unhealthy foods can be accessed almost everywhere, so it is up to everyone to decide what to do and what to consume.

Something else, the more processed food consumed, which is nutritionally deficient due to all the processing, the body is 'forgetting' how to digest and extract the naturally occuring nutrients found in food stuffs in their natural state. Also you need to eat a lot more of the processed foodstuffs in order to absorb sufficient nutrients for the body's needs.

[@kenadams5504]

Even if you eat processed food all day long , we still don't get nutrition from it. It is high carbs to manipulate our blood sugars to rise and crash ; inducing cravings.... (and ensuring higher food sales ). Nutrition is deficient in such "food" , and it is a shocking fact that Government Authorities are allowing such 'Carbage' to replace a nutritious Staple Diet .

When you remove the bad stuff hunger is intense, but the addition of whole fruits, vegetables and liquid (water, tea, unsweetened coffee) satisfies and the drop in weight also satisfies.

Meat all the way

[@johnnysocko4302]

Those things are a prescription for failure. 95% of low-fat diets fail. Why would you even begin to embark on something like that? I get that vegans feel bad when they see how mass-produced animals suffer, but one does not equate with the other. We need lots of fats to be healthy and on the animal side, our ancestors ate loads of eggs, fish and insects at a minimum.

[@MNkno]

If you cook your own food from minimally ingredients, working with the flour, butter, herbs/spices, meat, eggs, etc. will go a good way toward satisfying your senses, which will both increase your satisfaction and decrease your cravings... Very simple example: pouring hot water into instant coffee mixed with powdered creamer and sugar... is less satisfying than grinding your own beans, and paper-filter brewing your coffee, and adding some fresh cream (no need for sugar).

These podcasts are so good I always remember how butter was bad for you eat margarine Oh Goodness a load of rubbish so we have to learn good and bad foods I wish you could have healthy restaurants and know it’s good quality foods and oils. Anyway Mark you look a lot younger. I’m 60 yrs and so many people my age look so much older it’s what you eat, drink and exercise that helps keeps our bodies good.

Dr. Chatterjee and Dr. Hyman, two of my health heroes. Thank you for educating us. I loved this podcast. I do not have a science background and I get stumped at protein intake. I am an omnivore and love all animal proteins. How do I know if I am eating too much or too little? Can you explain how to calculate protein in a food? When you say 0,8gm per 1 kilo of weight, how do I translate that into what and how much to eat? I am assuming that 200gms of grass-fed beef or lamb or salmon does not equal 200gms of protein, correct? Thank you.

Basically just focus on eating real food, nothing processed. Eat meat and fresh vegetables.

I was fully engaged with this talk until the part about the Women's Health Initiative which has been showed to be a deeply flawed study using unsuitable participants. I think people should go and examine all the research before drawing conclusions

[@lucycartwright9053]

I agree. I was disappointed to hear the study endorsed.

Exceptional science based conversation, thank you. I appreciate the practicality and advice on the importance of exercise and eating healthy food consumption for health improvements. Nutrition, fitness and social engagement solutions scale improvements in our outcomes, and it reduces our healthcare costs. I appreciate the support of your years of research, experience and expertise to support opportunities for everyone to feel better and live better. * Great advice on being apprehensive of studies as majority of people don’t understand the difference between real scientific research as opposed to ascribing to bias driven studies reflecting intended points of view for a desired conclusion.

I really like you and your show and agree with you completely. And I don't like your titles (I get that you want to be direct). Your insights are much more elaborate and nuanced than the title suggests (maybe that's ideal)

It’s true. My mom was married to a man for 25 years that was obsessed and addicted to bread and he thought it was good for him. All his baked goods were white bread, white sweet rolls I mean it was ridiculous. My mom ate them all the time and I told her she didn’t have to eat that stuff But if it was around she was going to eat it. She blossomed to 160 pounds and a size 16 at 5 foot two. He passed away three years ago, and I grabbed a hold of her diet. I took it all away all the sugar all the bread. Within Six months she was down to a size 14 and another six months she was down to a 12 and then a 10 and now she’s in an eight. She’s no longer addicted to bread and sweets. In fact she doesn’t even like it anymore. As a sidenote, it wasn’t until he passed away that we realized she has dementia. She’s been diagnosed with moderate dementia. My brother, on the other hand was addicted to sweets And he ate them morning and night. He is now 70 with dementia and in a facility. She just lives in her own home and I help care for her but she’s just so weak and tired all the time that she’s very easy to care for. She will be 89 in July and has no arthritis. No auto immune just a couple of heart issues that she’s had for quite some time.

How is it even legal for people to call it the "food quote industry when they processed crap that's killing people directly!?! Thank you, Dr. Chatterjee, for this talk to remind or inform people who did not know yet about the direct correlation between junk information processed stuff and the resulting genetic presentation and dysfunctions that follow!

[@peterzinia3767]

You would have to ask you morally corrupt state representative. i.e Senator,Congressman. They are the ones who get bribes & kickbacks(they call it campaign contributions,but we know better than to believe that)from the companies that produce the crap that end up in our supermarkets & unfortunately in us & our children who count on adults to feed them nutritious foods. The lobbies for both the food & beverage industry as well as big chemical companies that make the crap that is put in our food give large amounts of cash in exchange for favors that benefit the industries. When it comes to studies on food products almost all the research on that product is done by the manufacturer of that product & if test results show that it may be harmful then they call in the favor. The politicians work out a way to allow the dangerous products to be marketed to the public by changing standards of guidelines or by simply changing the definitions or meanings of certain words or phrases. Like what is considered added sweetners or sugars? That is always changing to include this new stuff or that stuff. F.D.A doesn't test foods or beverages like they should,but that costs money & if Washington can put that money into their pockets then they will. Regardless of the damage to the health of it's citizens.

You’ll be amazed if you find out more about how they mess with what we eat with low quality fake things to mark up for profits. What I’m trying to say is, don’t even trust the labels on the packages, people got jailed for saying the wrong things in communist countries, yet no big companies even got fined for killing people indirectly. When there are money involved, a lot of things can be bought, that includes test results of “safe food”

[@finlayobrien7841]

Dr Chattergee, in the interests of a balanced approach, how about interviewing the Drs who advocate carnivore? Many of us were ALREADY eating as Dr Hyman recommended and found our illness resolved on carnivore, then issues return very quickly when we add plants back, so it's clear plants were the issue. Whether that's the plants own natural defense toxins or the chemical pesticides, or the lack of nutrients due to poor bioavailability and well documented soil depletion due to modern farming practices. There are a growing number of case studies and self reports of carnivore healing autoimmune disorders, gut disorders, metabolic disorders, cancers in remission, lifelong severe neurological disorders, severe depression and bipolar in remission. I didn't even have a diagnosed condition, healthy weight, regulat exercise, but I still had widespread joint and muscle pain, histamine intolerance, igE allergies, rosacea, IBS, chemical sensitivity and chronic fatigue, burning mouth syndrome, biliary dyskinesia, anaemia, low FT3 and hypothyroid symptoms, hypermobility, deficient magnesium, deficient copper, deficient transferrin saturation, deficient iodine, lower than optimal selenium, zinc, b12, folate, vitamin D. All on Dr Humans way of eating - with no gluten no dairy no eggs, low carb. 95% of my issues have cleared up on carnivore. I would also ask where is the evidence - that isn't an epimedial study confounded by healthy user bias or a rat study or an in-vitro study - that demonstrates we need phyto nutrients from plants

25:31 I’ve tried to incorporate these ideas with my patients but I feel I lack some of the tools to be convincing that it will work. Most, I feel, think they need a drug when the answer is literally right under their noses. The few that have applied 10% of my recommendation have seen remarkable changes but I feel I fall short and have not much more to offer.

Dr Rangan Chatterjee, can you please do something on Jainism, food and longevity

[@hammyluvyoung9640]

Please help to be able to come off blood thinner by eating plant based. I'm officially plant based eating and have lost weight...YAAAAAY! I'm truly excited about this and have been enjoying different plant based meals. I just never hear about helping patients on blood thinners after clot formation. I want to know if it's at all possible to ease my way off this blood thinner using a plant based diet. Please help me with this???

[@lauragesicki5499]

I have clotting issue due to an autoimmune disease. I can’t recommend getting off your meds but I can tell you some things I have done: 1. a daily clove of minced garlic eaten on an empty stomach after letting it rest 10 min. Or a clove of garlic muddled in hot water with a squeeze of lemon and sipped on an empty stomach. 2. Grapefruit juice ( ideally fresh) 3. Vitalzyme… expensive but wonderful!! 4. Pu-ergo tea. All of these are blood cleansers with other specific benefits. But when your blood is clean and without a burden of toxins bacteria or autoimmune stress I have found it clots less. Oh yes and when I drink water I try to have a bit of lemon in it. My organs seem to really love it. Deep breathing for good tissue oxygen and yoga added in when I can. But really trying any one of the above are likely to really be beneficial. Also working with a doctor who works with your efforts as a team is emotionally very helpful too.

[@hammyluvyoung9640]

@lauragesicki5499 Thank you so much for your reply, and I really appreciate the remedies given. I will definitely try at least one or two of these. The only one I'm unable to try is the grapefruit due to the blood thinner I'm taking called Eliquis. That's the one fruit I can no longer have. My Hematologist has run several tests to figure out why my blood clotted, causing the massive pulmonary embolism several years ago that almost took my life. So far, he's discovered at one point my fibrinogen level was high, but last blood testing, thank God it's in normal range. No other reason found so far. Bless you and thank you for this information.

@@divineandchoosenmika314 yes it took me a while to actually accept that it wasn't a fluke. My system cannot handle a lot of the stuff I used to eat before.

I appreciate all the free information Dr. Hyman and others put out for those of us who want to learn how to eat so we can keep our health. I bought the book Young Forever. Really good information. There are too many individuals out there trying to profit in helping others. I know of individuals who will charge you 200.00 before they will even give you information! It’s horrible! Thank you Dr. Hyman for all the information for sure!
