Reversing Heart Disease, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure & Cholesterol | Shane Martin on The Exam Room

Shane Martin is a talented man. Some say the talented musician and kitchen whiz is also a health genius.
Just weeks shy of his 40th birthday he set on an epic health journey in which he ultimately reversed heart disease and diabetes while simultaneously returning high cholesterol and blood pressure to normal levels. Not to mention he also lost a tremendous amount of weight.
This self-described simple southern guy joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share his inspiring journey and how his transformation blossomed into a healthy and successful career as the founder of the popular Shane and Simple blog.
At one time Shane believed his poor health would cut short his time with his wife and five children. Now he's looking forward to a long and bright future with the entire family.

Hi I love Shane’s recipes. I’ve been vegan for 1.5 years and it’s helped me lose weight and lower my cholesterol. His story is inspiring.

[@YolandaRoberson-ie4uj]

Shane’s bulgogi is amazing! It’s a weekly staple in our house!!!

[@kawdesign]

Shane’s blog is my favorite, it’s always open in a tab on my phone. What a pleasure to get to know him in this great interview. I can’t wait to try the Starbucks lemon bread copycat recipe. Thank you both for this video, very inspiring!

I love his recipe❤ It’s great to have an opportunity to listen to his journey. It’s so inspiring!

[@gailwebb1844]

Great interview. Shane discovered cooking vegan is uncomplicated.

[@animalrightsbeliever]

I wish there's advice for those on a low fibre diet, because they've had abdominal surgery, and scar tissue or adhesions may pose a risk of intestinal obstruction, so plant based diets have to be avoided. What's there left to eat?

[@cindilacasa3291]

I have the same problem. I'd love to get any advice too!! 😊

[@animalrightsbeliever]

@@cindilacasa3291 hi Cindi, thanks for your comment.

Yes, dudes are the ones dropping with heart attacks & suffering the consequences of Type 2 Diabetes--I have one in my family who just won't change his ways (yet).

Taking food to parties and outings is becoming a norm for me and I can relate to people "making fun of it". I am the one that is feeling good and other people say things like "I wish I could eat like that but I am not giving up my cheese and meat". I understand that thinking but I am so happy to not have a "food coma" after a party. I asked a lady about her Diabetes and high blood pressure. She said she notices a differences when she eats Vegetarian a couple of times a week. She doesn't want to do more. It's hard to watch people hurt themselves when the answers are right in front of them. I encouraged her to do what she can . All that to say, I am so thankful for Forks Over Knives. FOK got me started and it's been fun to eat and feel good!

[@lisengel2498]

Great story and such a happy and joyfull Way of healthy creative cooking. I am convinced that this could be a cookbook that everybody interested in a tasty, practical easy to prepResos free vegan style will love that inspiration 🙏🎵🌸🎶💗

[@Igweka7695]

Came to hear about the reversals but didn’t. Do i listen again? Any summary? This is the 1st time to encounter such with Chuck interview.

[@RiDankulous]

I just made whole wheat bread with two ingredients: flour and yeast. I add salt to taste with a shaker. 19 ounces of flour makes basically a 1900 calorie loaf. It's thin and wide, cooked on a cookie tray, and I like it crunchy! A basic combination of foods meets all nutrition requirements, *including protein and amino acids*: whole wheat bread, kale, carrots, and bananas. I take 2500 mcg of B12 weekly.

[@jgrysiak6566]

Flour is 1500 calories a pound, not a great food for weight loss. It's processed. Whole cooked grains are only 500 calories a pound. Eat left of the red line.

[@RiDankulous]

@@jgrysiak6566 I agree that wheat bread is more calorie dense. I find that keeping the total amount per day down on average and increasing less calorie dance foods on those days somewhat. I try to eat two bananas per day and I probably could do it with another fruit while reducing my wheat intake either whole wheat bread or wheat pasta. I don’t feel quite as full, but it is tolerable.

[@jgrysiak6566]

@RiDankulous , I got flour products out & lost 15 more lbs. I was addicted to flour products, it took years to get out. Dry boxed cereal was a big addiction, finally gone after many trys to stop

[@jgrysiak6566]

@@RiDankulous , I eat Ezekiel bread toasted. About 5 slices a week , usually on an opened faced kale sandwich.

[@RiDankulous]

@@jgrysiak6566 nice! I think I might’ve had it in the past and I may try it again
