So his basic recommendations are: 1. Avoid processed foods and do time restrictive eating (or some sort of intermittent fasting). Avoid the TV while eating. 2. Move. All is good but incorporate some strength training. Can be done even at home with your bodyweight only. 3. Get good sleep. No tech 90 minutes before bedtime. 30 minutes of sunlight in the morning. 4. Get more sunlight. Go more outside. 5. Have some mindfulness time each day on your own.

[@Henilegasp]

R-Type - thank you sooooooooo much... i kept skipping through all his talking as i tried to get to the point of the video! Many thanks! 😊🤗

[@McDoodle44]

Heni Peni you're welcome. Glad it helped you! :))

[@michaelfortune9997]

Heni Peni You cant properly educate yourself to make significant change in your life by 'skipping through' information.

[@btsdancestudio5691]

R-Thanks For This

[@btsdancestudio5691]

Some of his shows are for free on KZbin. You can see him do this with real people.

[@shanomac]

LOVE the markers at the bottom indicating how far each topic is. GENIUS!

[@offthechainfitness]

I'm 54 and feel better than when i was 30, mainly because of what was said in this video, a goal to obtain my first 6 pack ever which has been so much fun plus breathing exercises, there is a low emphasis on conscious breathing..Pranayama and Bhastrika breathing rocks!!

[@SweetDreams02]

Rangan is definitely who the public needs, he explains things in a way that means everyone can understand.

[@annettefowler4704]

Very true 😊

[@gazels11]

Dr. Chatterjee is one of my go to online doctors. His message is always clear, caring and informative.

[@kittydonovan1452]

My fave “doctor” only one in the UK I’ve seen understanding things on a deeper level.

[@jacintakeeble1225]

My diet is pretty much perfect but I still haven't healed 100% so after watching this I think it comes down to not enough sleep. Went to bed an hour earlier after watching this so thank you :)

[@PoetryPickle]

How did things turn out? How's life?

[@TheZGALa]

I find self-sabotage--doing things we know do not serve us for the 'comfort' of it, fascinating, and the biggest hurtle on my own personal path of overcoming my own limiting beliefs and actions.

[@shannonlilia]

Nailed it. Praying for better for us all. 💜

[@LindsayWilliams100]

Dr Rangan Chatterjee is very impressive. I thought it was all about food but then concentrated on sleep. I fast 16 hours a day and find that very say and doable. This has reminded me to look at sleep again but also the daylight thing was new to me. Why does no one ever talk about alcohol. Such a big part of life and one that definitely affects my health.

[@Eimantasks]

What do I like about your channel that you find all these extraordinary people who have so much experience, share this priceless information, why I never see people like this on my local TV?? Useless commercials instead! You are doing such an amazing job educating people like me! Thank you!

[@SuperLammens]

That's why I avoid tv. ads are influincing you in a bad way, bringing the world to you in a bad way(murders, wars, terrorism and all wrong doings of people) you become passive, agressive, demoralised, guilty) tv is also responsible for making you feel bad about yrself as you compare yrself to people who look better then you and are more succesfull(economically, financially, creatively) average people are rarely displayed on tv apart if they misbehave or act strange(hotter then yr daughter, ...) Read a book, talk to yr family, play games and go outside to enjoy nature or a fun place or cultural spot. you tube is definetely more educative then tv and you get to see the best , most intelligent people. Buy ad blocker and stay away from Asocial media.(thats how I name them as they steal people away from actual life and real people)

[@SashaDeKasha]

Rangan: I’ve been medical doctor for almost 20 years now. Me: But you look no more than 25 years old....

[@terrytari1891]

Tom: you're a good interviewer! You don't run off at the mouth like Dr Mark Hyman!

[@WoodsDog]

I didn't realize he was over 25 until I read your comment. Missed at at the intro

[@amirabelghoula9171]

That's what I thought! hahahaha

[@mischievouscat296]

I had to look him up. He is 43. Boy does he look good!

[@darkchocotony3391]

Tom can pass off as Rangan's dad!

[@ShaBafana]

Got a lot of value from this. I like, in particular, the 'Keep It Simple' approach. Very do-able. He's right -there was a period of my life when I practised mindful eating. I simply ate my food with full focus and gratitude without doing anything else. That year, without dieting or any other special practices, I lost a beautiful 10 kilograms without even trying. Thank you, Dr Chattejee - & of course Tom Bilyeau.

[@ayacharanith4053]

Harasha Bafana wow that’s awesome

[@margokruger9096]

Thank you dr Chatterjee. I love that you really care about people.

[@shanomac]

This is an unbelievable talk! Thanks so much Tom!

[@christinastephanou5971]

Dr Rangan you're just brilliant. Not afraid to approach you, unlike other doctors !

[@Kidilam2006]

Interesting to see he is stumbling into the holistic way of medicine as prescribed by Ayurvedic medicine methods which this guy's ethnic ancestors created and practiced over 1000s or years ago ! e.g. Charaka Samhita - one of the THE books on Ayurveda (which is about 2200 years old) - talk about what to eat, when to eat, what to do, when to do, etc.

[@edunlap6594]

"Those choices nourishes them." You've hit the nail on the head!

[@carols8090]

My only sibling had colon cancer at 40, is heavy, has had shoulder, both hips, both knees replaced, fibromyalgia, and chronic heart disease. Mom, breast cancer four times, cervical cancer, asthma, emphysema, diabetic. Dad, Crohn's, kidney cancer (lost a kidney), multiple melanomas. Mom's two siblings, each had two different cancers. Mom's dad colon cancer. Dad's mom stomach cancer. Dad's only sibling, one cancer. Me, 62, and remaining disease free. (It's been strongly suggested I be studied at the NIH.) Kills me when people who don't know my history tell me I look great because of my genes. Ah. No. I am disease free because I made a choice to live what is truly (not main-stream media bull&*^%) a healthy life. My key to a healthy lifestyle, I wake each and every day GRATEFUL for another gift of another day and I treasure that. Truly healthy food, exercise, mind set all come easy simply because I want to continue to live and not exist.

[@GraceDollesin]

I believe you! I’m the same way. Each morning I wake up, I give thanks to the Creator for a another day so, that I can go to work and earn a living and help my family. I live a simple life and minimal. ❤❤❤

[@GamerBody]

What a great Health Theory episode! So many people I talk with about health asking how I do it always get taken aback when I say I workout 3 times a week for 1 hour each. Also, they see how much I eat and that makes them "hate" me more. I always come back and tell them stress and sleep is my secret and they don't believe it. I wish it was easier to get people to understand that your life, stress, and sleep are just as important for a great body and fulfilled life.

[@livelearnandteach7402]

I agree with this 100%...eat whole foods, drink water, get good sleep, manage stress, fast a bit and be active. Thats what I do and it works great.

[@dillonbrooks7807]

I Agree 100% - His message is similar to 80% of everyone on this channel which is awesome move - LIfestyle in the west is BROKEN for our health both physically and mentally! Living in Spain for 6 months opened my eyes to the cultural difference. WESTERNS: Lack of Movement/strength training, Eat Bad Processed Foods, Eat Stressed, Little to no Meditation/Parasympathetic state, Lack of Sleep, no phone 30 min - 60 min before sleep. We are too capitalistic of go-go-go, we can be a great capitalistic system, we just need to slow down and bit and BALANCE our PILLARS. IT IS NOT ONE THINGS! - THANKS TOM AND RANGAN

[@butsirrr]

Smart, holistic Dr..

[@delkhwazrasool2851]

Better than any other meeting with doctors who are interested in Holistic approach of health care. It was simple clear and his advice came from heart with passion. Also he did not try to sell pills.

[@zahriarhyne5967]

I love the new layout of the show. It looks very cozy, yet professional and modern. What he says about sleep, there's still one percent of people who are born with a genetic mutation to sleep 5 hours or less. I don't know if I have insomnia but i can literally sleep for 15 minutes wake up and it feels like I've slept 2-3 hours. In fact I knock out pretty quickly when I do sleep.

[@R20104]

This guy is amazing! Love everything he said.

[@EduardoBarros13]

Love this bar on the bottom.

[@nayelieramirez1234]

TOM THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU DO!

[@Presentmoment]

Brilliant! Thank you Tom

[@pt9731]

Thank you Rangan. Thank you Tom.

[@WWZenaDo]

Wonderful video! Thank you so very much!

[@TheDeanKids]

I have to say Tom, there are two things I absolutely have to tell you about what I love about how you do what you do with impact theory. I freaking love the little boxes that you have at the bottom of your episodes to show what different topics you are addressing with your guest. And I freaking freaking freaking really super love that in the description you haven't broken down by times because sometimes when I want to share something with someone, I don't have the patience to do that myself. And you've already done it for me so I can tell them where to pay attention if they only have 5 10 minutes I can tell them hey this this and this made me think of you. And they can already see what time it is and all that fun stuff so I just had to tell you that I super appreciate at that level of organization and visual element that you give to us. Cuz some of us are visual Learners and need a little bit more help staying on task. So thank you very much for that

[@GT-xp6bx]

Bambi Dean Agreed

[@cynthiadomenack7383]

Great stuff Tom, I FREAKING LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! ! !

[@zezo12324]

Thank you Dr Chatterjee . Tom you are the greatest !

[@patconnell7055]

Love you, Dr Rangan Chatterlee. You are the tops! A devoted Doctor. God bless.

[@jogeroq3323]

Thank you.

[@marylongoria9431]

Thank you for the fantastic work you are doing! It definitely works!

[@Lori5564]

Fantastic video. Thank you.😊 ❤❤❤

[@ILOVE2FeelGOOD]

Brilliant! Amazing thank you xx

[@GosiaCanoFitness]

Thank you so much for this great interview Tom. There is so much to be learned from this guy! I love the juggling balls analogy about stress.

[@TheMgarvey]

Absolutely important information. Keep on talking. We all have to hear it!

[@balancedfoodandfitness]

I am just so utterly impressed by Tom's content. He's like the male Oprah for our current generation of ambitious, yet sometimes lost, success and meaning seekers.

[@gunnerc61]

So true … I only found Tom's content a few months ago, and I pretty much don't listen to anything else. So many interesting guests, he is an amazing interviewer (like Oprah), and I am learning so much!

[@SuperLammens]

this generation has not only junk foofd but junk values. good channel with good guests. friends(will they come to yr hospital bed when you are seriously injured are terminally sick? answer; NO (then they are acquantances)

[@emilyc7515]

Totally agree that good health (or bad health) will reverberate through every other aspect of your life. AND I love that he emphasizes the holistic lifestyle approach rather than just diet and exercise. YOU DID IT AGAIN TOM.

[@ninajohnson6578]

Love him and his approach! Brilliant❤️

[@sumitkar6682]

We often focus on only one element for a perfect health-often emphasizing more on diet. Thanks Dr Chatterjee for bringing out the other elements to the discussion. Learned a lot from the episode, especially the four pillar approach. Keep it up Tom.

[@rachelwarner6340]

Love this, love this! Thank you Rangan Chatterjee and Tom Bilyeu for bringing ALL of this to us.

[@patconnell7055]

I studied journalism, however, committing to two hours a day, to writing, is hard. Writers block is real! I used to enjoy geology which required me to go driving to various points of interest, where I found a mound of stones and small rocks, piled up on the beach, for instance! Discovering why these stones were of significance was total enjoyment to me. Crazy! not quite. I was a free lance journalist for some years, writing mostly for one of our local newspapers, however eventually age takes over and you don,t drive any longer, if you know what is good for you. The memories live on forever. These cannot be taken away and one can enjoy writing to friend and family, which I enjoy doing still, stimulating my aging brain and trying to overtake me if it can!

[@miousyoga]

I love these episodes! this was a really good one. Things we can easily implement in our lives. Great interview!

[@88LindaLu88]

Amazing video! I'm going to watch all Health Theory vids, they're so insightful!! Thanks a lot TOM

[@MrTORISSIMO]

Such a powerful and enlightening interview. My first "health" theory but as usual a dense and captivating journey. Also Tom I feel you are an amazing orator I have a hard time finding anything constructive to suggest

[@empresslioness3654]

He's so attractive 🤩 not just on appearance but his mind too

[@NadjaAfi]

Amazing interview! Amazing show! 🙏

[@edmnomad]

Great as always 👍👍👍

[@tifff7916]

I love this video! !!

[@shainas7296]

Wow! When he said that our high stress environment that doesn't have much movement is the reason why low carb diet works, it literally blew my mind.

[@SiimLand]

You as a person are the product of your environment. Whether that be the internal environment of your body or the external environment of your surroundings. Always. You are constantly adapting to the fitness landscape that you find yourself in.

[@DBoyuh]

You guys're absolute brill.

This one is AMAZING!

[@carlosbecerra4189]

Loved it thank you!! 👍🏼😁

[@brooksbraun8886]

Excellent to see an allopathic doctor get it. The real answer is "the timing" of the foods being ingested. Soon i will post, excellent discussion Tom.

[@anangeluiza]

amazing!

[@CJ_102]

Tom's like "I don't need to say anything here.. this dude is on fire lol...hmmm let me just nod". Love these videos, keep them coming!

[@darkchocotony3391]

Not the usual Tom way... But it was well worth it.

[@teamshiva7482]

Thank you

[@marigeobrien]

The real problem is that our lifestyle has become too pressured by corporate demands. Even those that don't work in a corporation are affected because corporations have caused the inflation that forces almost all families to need a dual income, to work longer hours, which cascades down when child-rearing becomes a secondary issue and time is always short. This has become the norm. And this is killing us. This lifestyle is what leads to fast-food diets (even if it's bought at the store; if it's a frozen entree, it's not fresh and it's probably loaded with all sorts of poisons), no quality time to exercise regularly, and lack of sleep. These things also increase the stress that then makes people turn to making poor choices like eating the wrong (i.e., comfort) foods, handing kids an ipad at 3 and never having a good routine.

[@Grifons003]

Mind-blown many times throughout the video. Thank you, it was truly insightful. I truly appreciate it. :)

[@liznewark]

Every time I think I have a favorite convo, you all post a new video and my mind is blown all over again!

[@Yellowmenace18]

Thank you for this interview Tom! Dr. Chatterjee is amazing in taking scientific research & making it simple & practical for ppl to implement in their daily lives. It's great that Ur sharing these ideas & most of the ppl U interview have podcasts & books, but these kinds of ideas need to be in our public education system. We need to get politicians out of government replacing them with these more intelligent & capable ppl who probably don't want the responsibility. A call to actionable service, a call to serve humanity needs to be the next zeitgeist.

[@gailfreese3849]

Very interesting. Loved this episode.

[@Naturmuslima]

Thats so inspiring. Thanks guys. It really eases up to keep going a journey of self-discovery I started three years ago

[@btk9841]

Such good facts of life and real stories....

[@indiabliss]

So much respect for this doctor

I love watching his videos. He makes sense and is very motivating. I wish he was available to the people in America. I would travel to that state to be his patient.

[@lytecyde]

I am well happy to link up with this source!

[@RealTalk-mq2ug]

AFFIMING: I am safe. I love my life. I allow myself to be in the present moment, right here, right now. I have everything I need. I am open to new ideas. I am here, here in my body, and all is well. I am aware of my thoughts, feelings, and body, in the present moment. I am grounded and connected to the earth. I trust myself. I am open to new ways of thinking. I embrace change. I love myself. I let go of my past. I feel safe and secure.

[@mrwoolrich]

Amazing content… congrats!

[@LamixFace]

Loved it. Getting out into the sunlight in the morning that makes so much sense to me. Thanks Rangan and Tom for this great content. :)

[@lindapagan1162]

I need to say a few years ago i was about to be institutiinalized and the probation department worker suggested that I eat what I 'had' to realizing this gave me the strength to choose the value food over whatever i could find. I could easily forgo food until better choices are available 7:07

[@blessygeorge8520]

Thank you. I learned a lot. Specially when u talked about importance of sunlight. I will try to incorporate your tips into my daily life.

[@adelaximenag.r786]

Thank you so much Tom, for introducing us to Dr Chatterjee.

[@bnsgokugreat]

Don't you guys think Shawn Stevenson and Rangan Chatterjee have a lot of common points to say? Thank you for the video TOM :) Amazing one

[@MsCamelot10]

The majority of his guest are amazing and spread a wealth of knowledge. I find myself quoting some of them at times. I have begun to even explore trying to connect with physicians with these backgrounds and hopefully covered by insurance. Wish me luck.

[@chedream6916]

[@paradisearyaei7058]

That was an amazing and also precious lesson to encourage us to become more healthy for having a rich life. Thanks for your message. God bless

[@ariandnanasimon2822]

Very good advice. Very interesting noted

[@patconnell7055]

I had diverticulitis, 12 years ago. I hemmoraged and needed my colon removed. At last I have found out through experimentation a diet that prevents the diahhria I suffered all those years. I saw and recognized a custard powder my mother used with desert. I made custard and added nutritious foods like nut butter, vegetables, almond milk, egg, salt and cinnamon. At last, I had hit pay dirt. This I microwaved to set this custard. Sometimes I made a tinned pear custard with all the same ingredients. Perfect! Incidentally I believe constipation causes diverticulitis. This was definitely my problem, but I have a high threshold to pain, therefore stupidly put this problem on the back burner, far too long! Hope this helps others with my complaints.

[@patconnell7055]

If you get niggling pains in your stomach. Go to your Doctor. You may, like me, take these niggling pains as nothing to worry about, until you need an operation!

[@SpiritualPrincess30]

I love Dr Chatterjee, so intelligent!

[@1sr0]

I love how he explained the low carb mania in the US and in the west. Tbh it is another pill in a way. We are only obsessing about treating all the negative symptoms of sitting on our asses for hours on end, being in the jobs we absolutely hate, fluoridated water, chemicals, plastics and other toxic nastiness. So low carb is the way to alleviate ourselves from the negativity of all this stuff. I was watching videos on the headbangers kitchen the other day and the guy (Indian) is showing how to make Indian keto crepes. Made me so sad. The goodness of fermented lentils and rice batter is replaced with cheese and almond flour. And all the Indians in the comment section are going crazy over it. So these people do not learn about the chemicals in our water that are ruining our lives, making us fat, eat chemical laden iodized salt and hormone heavy dairy and meats, sugary drinks and sweets and then suddenly realize going keto is the solution for their weight gain and other health problems they are facing. Just ignorant!

[@johanesterhuizen1842]

Dhyana . They all think ( and are brainwashed in a certain way) that by “fixing” one thing, they will change all the other bad habits ( no stress control, lack of sleep and exercise, oily processed food) they have been following for years

[@analuisajohnson2083]

Hi Tom, so happy to see you! Ok let’s listen. Thank you for visiting us here 😀🌸🧚🏻‍♀️

[@claratorres3643]

Absolutely amazing information! Very admirable doctor. I feel like there was limited interaction between you and the interviewee though, Tom. Curious as to why? It's as if the segment needed to be longer.
