Articles about it were recently headlines on major news sites... 📰

I miss you walking on your treadmill! Does not cause motion sickness lol please inspire us again, those who work from home to keep using our desk treadmills while working!

[@BusyLizzy_]

I looked up 'stationary treadmill' but didn't see anything... I wish he'd show us what he means by that! Also, I agree, it was great to see the motion during the talks. It even made me get up and do things while I was listening!

[@donnaw1835]

I think he received several complaints from people who did get motion sickness while watching him bob up and down on his treadmill.

[@sectionalsofa]

Dr Greger's response to the first question regarding sleep made my day... .and I have a fairly long day due to insomnia.

[@ginnydoane4570]

Dear Dr Gregor, Get back on your treadmill. This is ridiculous. People don’t have to watch you. They can just listen. You are modeling good health. Love you. My life is so much better because of you.

[@kellihillebrand8341]

Agreed☺️

[@elizagal7451]

Feel free to deliver in any fashion you desire. People don’t have to watch or comment on your appearance. Us 99.99% love you just the way you are. You grandmothers heart must be as big as Texas 💚💜

[@Rickalicious]

Dr. Greger is best! From sunny South Africa, thanks for all that you do!

[@Marathon5151]

I find the earlier I finish eating and the healthier it is, the better sleep I get. I ate poorly on Sunday and stopped eating around 7 pm. Got eight hours of sleep, but not much deep sleep according to Apple Watch. On Monday, ate very well and stopped eating at 2:30 pm. Got six hours of sleep and 1.5 hours was deep sleep and woke up without an alarm.

[@JudeMaui]

Walking on my treadmill. Everyone should be on a treadmill while watching to help prevent vertigo or hey don’t watch and just listen.🌺

[@sheralschowe]

Such useful information Dr. Gregor ! Thank you for your work. 👏👏👏

[@tamisimone1377]

Thank you Dr Gregor

2:23 -> "Analyses of the ingredients and finished baked goods showed that spermidine is heat-sensitive, contrary to an earlier published statement [16]. In the present case, the quotient is about 3.4 between spermidine used (roll A: 149.4 mg/kg; roll B: 98.8 mg/kg) and the concentration in the finished baked goods (roll A: 47.1 mg/kg; roll B: 26.5 mg/kg)"

Really sorry I missed the q and a it is super amazing with top educators enjoy gym everyone there must be on dr Greger daily dozen

[@Alexander-ok7fm]

[@MegaGoddessofLove]

Good luck on your move! I actually have family in Vancouver. Oh also that's so cool about the gym in your apartment building. Great job going for a workout! 😊

[@jeromespearman314]

Thankyou for the time you give to reviewing the research and presenting it so clearly. Have you done any review of Hydrogen therapy ? And more specifically, Hydrogen therapy for cancer.

[@dmb0202]

In Arabia, the word hummus means chickpea. Whereas in other languages hummus is a dip made of chickpeas. Thus the confusion in one of the questions

[@Joseph1NJ]

Fiber Fueled, both books have a ton of info on gut health.

[@Hanna-vq6sb]

About the new study about risks of xylitol: the amounts consumed in the study were huge compared to the amount you get from a few xylitol chewing gums daily, and xylitol has in several studies been shown to protect teeth when chewn right after meal.

[@BusyLizzy_]

Welcome to Canada! Are you coming to stay, or just as part of the tour?

[@bonniemullen4990]

Thank you Dr. MacGregor ❤🎉🎉😊

Glycine really help deep sleep, need to find research on this Dr. Greger

[@KJSvitko]

Daily exercise is key to as healthy life. Ride a bicycleto school, work or for fun. Riding a bicycle is a great way to exercise. Ebikes are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles. Safe protected bike lanes and trails are needed so adults and children can ride safely. Speak up for bicycles in your community. Bicycles make life and cities better. Ask your local transportation planner and elected officials to support more protected bike lanes and trails. Children should be riding a bicycle to school and not be driven in a minivan. Be healthier and happier. Ride a bicycle regularly.

[@xperience-evolution]

Maybe make your App open source so people can contribute if they have the skills.

[@k.h.6991]

I agree the app should be made open source. The first issue that that should be solved is obviously the design. Once that's settled, the rest should be pretty easily handled by an open source community.

[@Aaron.Thomas]

I can do app development pro bono. Did whoever did the current app make any of the source available to you?

[@k.h.6991]

Use the website to get in touch with Dr. Greger on this.

[@CARLiCON]

you've reported previously about erythritol, (& now xylitol), could be linked to stroke & heart problems due to platelet effects, can you do a video on these? Have there a been studies on deaths directly attributable to ingestion of erythritol?

[@COACH-CARBOHYDRATE]

Reducing your dietary fat is a single biggest thing you can do for your health other than drinking a lot more water and sleeping early, Carbs FTW!! 💪💪💪

[@theGreg552]

Does this include healthy fats like avocado and almond butter ?

[@jontim7667]

Dr Greger are you away from your family for the tour for half a year already??? How do you cope??

[@planetguantanamo]

I'm really trying to get my body to absorb vitamin B12 as my nerve damage is irreversible and injections do not work, but curing the intestinal root cause must help, OMAD for now and possible fasting if necessary,I WILL HEAL PERIOD🙏

[@deanagreen7611]

PLEASE address LIPODEMA! I’d love to hear what you say !

[@OffGridVeganChef]

Dr. Greger, ignore the motion sick babies. Walk that treadmill with pride!

[@Mercury-Wells]

It would useful to know the safe temperature range for cooking spermidine rich foods 🙏

[@p.atrickclarke]

Where are the videos on Kava?

[@juliaparry-hill7509]

Good luck with the move! Dr. Michael Klaper moved to Canada too. Coincidence?

[@jontim7667]

do you know how can he move all the time.. poor Dr Greger how does he see his wife and kids.. love Dr Greger

[@PlantbasedSilvi]

Sorry my native language is not English, didn't Dr. Greger only move for 6 months to give lectures there? He didn't sell his house

[@jontim7667]

@@PlantbasedSilvi but six months not seeing your family or dogs..

[@erinself295]

When is the next live q&a and how do I participate?

[@SheVGan]

To the person who asked about kava? Where you able to find the video he referred to? I can't find any.

[@JerryTheVeganRockstar]

Did I miss something at the beginning? Why is Dr. Greger moving to Vancouver?

[@lian1238]

Next book is on pain? I thought it was cancer?

[@PlantbasedSilvi]

❤❤Can you help me further, where can I ask the questions to get them answered by Dr. Greger? Do any of you know?❤❤

[@kencarey3477]

I follow you and Dr Furman. What's your opinion on the nutritarian diet

[@Jeffs60]

There is no such thing as a nutritarian diet as that is not an accredited term by anything. There is also no diet for people that are 11 feet tall and sleep 2 hours a day.

[@normalguycap]

Crap, missed it. I didn't know one would be happening.

[@wellthi]

the dates are annonced on his website

[@stanleyniezrecki2469]

Can someone point me to where he posted a warning on xylitol so I know where he is posting emergent warnings.

[@kocsiserika1987]

What about erythritol? Is it still red light?

[@kocsiserika1987]

13:10 Does hyaluronic acid work for skin? What is the solution? Who knows? :)

[@graysound820]

Can statins cause gout?

R OJ: Maybe if you add two tbsp od vinegar you lose some of the visceral fat.

[@Mercury-Wells]

You never answered the question at 7:59

[@janetg1691]

I think you can walk on your treadmill if you want. Trolls be quiet please.

[@sgutstadt1]

Go back to the walking! Its very inspiring and cute and makes no sense to stop because of motion sickness for people watching, can't even imagine that's true... But they can't easily just llisten and look away!

Hummus is not an Israeli food. It's a middle eastern/arab food. Israelis are originally from Europe, not the middle east so the Hummus you had was a recipe taken from the local Palestinians.

[@Django115]

I think your opinion on honey is really unreasoned and not logical, honey isnt added sugar and cannot be compared to all others, in moderation like 1/2tsp honey is very healthy. Prove me wrong

[@Patrick_Ross]

Honey is, indeed, an added sugar.

[@Django115]

@@Patrick_Ross Ok explain please MrNonsense

[@Patrick_Ross]

@@Django115 - MrNonsense? If you hadn’t added the infantile ending to your request, I would have gladly answered your question. I assume you know how to use Google so look it up on your own.

[@Django115]

@@Patrick_Ross Yes, i have done enough research on NIH to say that Honey is 100% healthy :) have a good night
