Excellent video! I went plant based 12 years ago, my constipation AND all the pain from my Hemorrhoids both disappeared. Oh so very pleased!

[@thedocandchef]

One of the best benefits of WFPB is no more issues with constipation. I lived constipated all my life until I went WFPB!!! Amazing.

As I like to say, we plant-based people are just regular people.. - chef

I love Coriander seed, but hate fresh Cilantro. Yes, it tastes like soap……🤮

Where is the recipe? It sounds delicious. I can’t wait to try it but I may put it off until cooler weather. Thanks for the great info along with an easy recipe.

The soup looks good! I always wondered, if you blend the beans or lentils in recipes, does it affect the fiber content? Thanks for the video!

Here’s this the conclusions found in this small study. “This study demonstrates that fruit smoothies, without added sugars, can be a healthy way to consume the recommended daily dose of fruits if the fruit serving size is equivalent to what one would consume if the fruit(s) were whole. Fruit smoothies containing berries, such as blackberries or raspberries, may yield a lower glycemic response than consuming those fruits whole. We cannot conclude that there are sex-specific differences in glycemic response to whole fruits vs. blended fruits, but more studies like this, with a larger sample size, are needed for a more definitive conclusion. Future studies of this nature should include measurements of (1) dietary soluble fiber, before and after blending, as blending may increase the soluble fiber fraction, and (2) peak serum insulin concentration, with the goal of understanding which foods promote hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia, to prevent the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes in healthy individuals.” www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9657402/

Ground Flax Seed - I eat 200% to 250% DV of fiber and drink 1 gallon of water daily. I also exercise regularly. Still, due to monthly changes in female hormones, my digestion sometimes slows down. Recently, during those times, I have tried increasing my daily intake of ground flax seed. That seems to do the trick. Apparently flax has a high percentage of the right kind of fiber. I hope this post helps someone. (Disclosure: Flax can cause gas, but gas is better than not having a BM or getting an anal fissure. Probiotics can help with the gas until your own flax digesting gut flora populates. Oh, also for less resulting gas, instead of consuming a large amount at one time, split it up throughout the day.)

Thanks for watching the episode and for your comments, Kathy! It’s great that you have been able to listen and understand your body as it changes.

Eating natto every morning before breakfast works marvelously. The bacteria aids in forming vitamin K2, dissolves miniclots, prevents atherosclerosis; is both a probiotic and a prebiotic.
