I love that although both you Chuck and Dr. Barnard have gone over this type of information 1 million times, you still approach it in a fresh way every single time you do these podcasts. It’s fantastic! Even if somebody has been watching for over a year, I always learn something new and love the new information that was presented. Thank you.🙋🏻‍♀️

[@johnk6749]

It would be refreshing to have a doctor like Dr. Barnard. The doctors and nurses at my healthcare provider are mostly overweight and when they see my blood pressure they usually comment, "I wish that was my blood pressure." This leads me to not trust them very much. I have been eating plant-based for 1 1/2 years. They consider that an oddity.

[@laughterpandemic]

Great interview and it's easy to refer this video to my clients as he's a n MD. Been vegan several years now and I'm delighted to have found Dr Bernard and Dr Ornish and the many other highly advanced doctors, who see that Real Health involves people taking back their power. Educate not medicate :) should be part of all Medical training perhaps.

[@RiDankulous]

This is very useful, thanks. It is useful motivation being on the whole food-plant based diet. I really enjoy the foods I eat, truly. It's hard for many to comprehend that taste is acclimated over time. I suspect that cutting out the super rich foods is a key, also, since occasionally have a taste is too tempting, so I avoid them. Just ate whole wheat pasta and black beans with cayenne pepper. Yesterday it was whole wheat bread as the main food. Always satiated completely. I don't get hungry nearly as much as before, too. It's not a constant battle to control calorie intake.

I can confirm it's super easy going vegan. It happened kind of naturally for me after having learned a lot from here and other channels. I had tried a lot before like cutting out sugars, gluten, dairy etc. but only all of those together with eating vegan really helped me. I still have a portion of fish every now and then but mainly for the vitamins and minerals. Still could probably replace it with non animal foods / supplements. Meat is like sugar and fat - when you stop eating it for a while you don't miss it at all.

In the 1950 the cure for diabetes was a two week carnivore diet. The next step was to stop eating bread, pasta, potatoes and rice and grain oils. Go to dietdoctor.com and read the science. Plant based diets work for many people but if you are carb intolerant the easy way to get insulin down is to stop eating carbs.

Have 1 cup of vegetable soup and 1 side salad of vegetables. Then divide up your dinner plate into 1/4 starch, and 1/4 beans and 1/2 steamed vegetables. Limit fruit to 1/2 cup per meal. You will lose weight and be very full. Key is vegetables and limit fruit and be reasonable with starch. Many older people (myself included) need only 1300 calories per day. Depends on your activity level. You can check out Dr. McDougal's website for free and he has great advice.

Take tofu extra firm. Put it on the lip of a plate where water can run off. Put a plate on top and weight it down with a few cans. This presses the water out of the tofu. (You can google tofu press to see what the commercial ones look like). Let it drain for 30 minutes. Then dice it and freeze it. When you dethaw it will have a meatier texture. I make tofu scramble in place of eggs. I also use it in stir fry with sliced mushrooms. Sliced mushrooms taste meaty. For fish, there are some recipes called "Mock tuna salad" that use chick peas, etc. Tastes pretty good, just keep an eye on fat. I think it is also easy to serve chili, tacos, pastas, bean soup, bean burritos, vegetable soups, Asian stir fries with tofu etc where most people can do without meat than to try to serve some other types of meals where the meat would be very missed. Also love Jeff Novick bean burgers. Recipe is online for free. Yum. I make these up and freeze them. I also freeze my tofu scramble for easy fixing on work days. Before using, I put it in ziplock bags and then cut them open after frozen to put on a microwave plate to reheat. McDougal website has a lot of free recipes and some are delicious. Use spices too! For each meal I have 1 cup veggie soup, 1 side salad, one starch, and a main dish. I get so full I don't miss meat. Desert is cut fruit or fruit compote.An ai fryer helps too because then I can make sweet potato fries, regular fries, falafel--all without oils.

I am 81 years old. I have eaten a keto diet to control my type of reactive hypoglycemia. My HDL is now 66. My shit is now very soft. I do not lose weight on my diet. I still have to take vaso relaxers to control blood pressure. I have read that if you can lose weight with my diet your blood pressure normalizes. We have a disagreement. I am 81 years old. I had an autoimmune event in 1957 (see thriftygene.net no ads, no promotion). I have reactive hypoglycemia. In 1964 I took a glucose tolerance test. The *** specialist said I was prediabetic. He was very wrong. My blood sugar is slowing down but rising for 2 hours. The reason I took the test was that a smart doctor noticed that all the symptoms me and my wife described would be explained as very low blood sugar. I looked at the result of the test and determined that I was getting my symptoms 3 ½ hours after eating too much sugar/starch/alcohol. I modified my diet but not enough. About 17 years ago I put myself on a very low carb diet with the normal amount of fat. I started to gain weight so I cut the fat in my diet to the point that I lost weight. I now eat too many nuts and my weight has stabilized. About 3 years ago I figured out what was happening and wrote the web site thrifygene.net. I advertise with google (after 3 people identified as google read my web site and saw that it all made sense) to health care professionals. The reason most people lose weight on a low carb diet is the following. They eat enough protein so the excess is changed into ammonia. The body releases insulin to change ammonia into urea. When the insulin enters the blood stream the body does not know that it is only supposed to change ammonia into urea. It starts to change sugar into fat. The body releases Human Placental Lactogen to make it self temporarily insulin resistant which prevents very low blood sugar. You end up with a lower blood sugar than the body is comfortable with so the liver changes fat into sugar. The reaction sugar into fat and then fat into sugar is very energy intensive. You lose up to 1/3 the energy available. You raise your metabolism and lose weight. People with my gene are usually insulin resistant. We do not change sugar into fat. We do not raise our metabolism. We do not lose weight. --

Everyone keeps showing that same image of a blockage over and over again. Why don’t they show new ones? That can’t be the only image they have if it’s been proven that arteries can clear because of diet change. Can it?

Nutrition information should be part of every doctor visit. Doctors need more nutrition education in school and in continuing education. Even cardiologists do not provide enough nutrition education. That is just sad. Medicare needs to do more to encourage doctors to provide nutrition information and monitoring. Every person with heart disease or diabetes should be sent to a nutritionists for education and training so they can help themselves.
