Vegan Since 1981! Dr. Michael Klaper's Story, Insight & Perspective

I just realized I inadvertently omitted the title for the question "How Much Calcium Do We Really Need?" at the 1:00:51. I added it to the subtitles and in the process cleaned up some of the closed caption, as quick as I could, so it's not perfect, but it's profoundly better.

Despite what many people have said, I have found that for myself, one can still overeat, even in a whole food plant-based diet. This has been the best move I have ever made. I went whole food plant-based 9 years ago and my blood pressure, diabetes, eczema, congestion, brainfog, hypothyroidism, and obesity became subjects of the past. Not until I also controlled the overeating did my weight finally go into the healthy BMI range.

[@wendynovak-miller6897]

I know that feeling. I'm working on not overeating on a whole foods plant based diet. I went down from obese to overweight. I'm hoping I will make it to healthy BMI range in 2022.

[@VeganLinked]

I LOVE time restricted intermittent fasting. It's been a life changer for me. Not eating when it's dark. The first day I went an entire day without eating, just water, and I felt funky, detoxing. But the next day it was a breeze and I ate within an 8 hour window. The 3rd day I didn't want to even eat and felt great so I ate late in the day. But, I adjusted it down to getting the bulk of my calories in the earlier part of the day, around 10 am to 6pm window. Some days I tend to easily eat within a shorter window without even trying. I sleep better than ever when I do this consistently.

[@charliemorrison8168]

@@VeganLinked Awesome! I have it under control now, but for years, even after I went vegan I was a compulsive overeater. I ate until I got sick and kept eating. It was very much like Dr.Klaper explained when he said he couldn't ever get enough food. Since I dialed in portion sizes and regained control over my eating, I dropped another 40 plus pounds. Also going raw has helped tremendously. I still have to maximize the nutritional values in order to stay in control. I also think it is largely psychological.

@@charliemorrison8168Thank you for the positive encouragement! After going whole foods plant based, I dropped 42 pounds but then plateaued for a few years. Early November, I started controlling my portions and counting my calories, and I dropped 10 pounds, but the holidays came and I started to overeat and indulge in the standard holiday treats but they were still vegan and gluten-free (because I have a wheat allergy). I gained all 10 pounds back. I'm starting back up again with portions control and counting calories now that the holidays are over. I'm confident that I will be able to lose the weight, so I can be at a healthy BMI range.

[@scullyitsme9844]

His story about the husband and wife rings so true for me. My husband’s reply to me expressing a desire for our family to be plant based was, “ok, we can eat more like that, but I’m not giving up my steak.” I said, “ok,” and moved on with my health recovery. Recently he’s expressed his concern about worsening health problems that he is having. He wants to go 100% wfpb like me to see if it helps him. Yay! It only took 8 years. Maybe because I’m now officially in remission from cancer? I don’t know, but I’ll take the win. I know I’ll get more years with him. 💕

[@phreak074]

At around 10 min into this video he explains his change in relationship with leather. I'm excited to hear him explain it this way as it is similar to my experience. Humans are animals and consciousness is not unique to our species (look it up). When I see leather on products it disgusts me as it would be no different than having human skin leather. The same goes for food. I am squeamish as it is, and once my perspective started seeing the flesh of animals the same as the flesh of humans, seeing a burger or steak looks like human flesh on a plate and it is gross. Also, I stopped using terms like "meat" and "leather" as they are used for our minds to justify its use. Just call it what it is, flesh or skin of a dead animal.

[@MindVersusMisery]

I agree with you 100 %. Animal flesh, secretions from animals, animal skin and fur, down in jackets and duvets, animal tested products and animals as entertainment all come with extreme amounts of cruelty and exploitation. Just leave them alone! They deserve to be free from being viewed as commodities.

[@johnhoffman8857]

Lots of “things” are called by different names when they are changed. Grain gets turned into flour, or masa, avocados turn into guacamole, tomatoes turn into sauce, paste or ketchup. I get what you’re saying, but I think if more of us stay centered rather than making a hard turn, more people will convert. You get more flies with sugar than vinegar.

Well I'm no expert but dairy especially is probably the most abuse any animal can suffer. Calf's taken away from the mother to ensure milk is available for human consumption.. Once the cow stops producing millk it's sent for slaughter. If you are against animal abuse then going vegan is the only way. I went Vegan after 51 years of eating anything that moved.

[@debrad5783]

This is an honorable way to think and live, BUT...God has an expiration date for this planet and for we as humans. Nothing we do will add to His plan. He is the one who created this earth. I believe we should absolutely be responsible to take care of the earth. I decided to go plant based 4 years ago and at first I felt great, but a couple of years later my iron, D and B-12 have just kept dropping. My eyes are always red, burning and dry and my skin is very dry, despite drinking lots of water, water with lemon and 1 cup of herbal tea daily. (I see a conventional doctor which is no help other than to run a few labs). Last year my iron level was 6. Idk how you do it Dr. Klaper. I've started eating a little bit of fish and take supplements, hopefully this will help.

[@VeganLinked]

D comes from the sun so if you're not getting enough sunshine then obviously then obviously you should supplement that. You can also eat fortified foods and mushrooms can be a source as well. Since bacteria make B12 it's easiest to get it from a clean supplement rather than a contaminated source. Iron can be a little tricky for some people if they menstruate too heavy which may mean they have some other underlying issue. There is sufficient iron in whole plant foods so an appropriately planned whole plant food diet is adequate. For someone with a pre-existing condition it may take a little planning initially. My friend has likes using "Blood Builder" or "New Chapter" for her iron supplement. She's had fibroids before she went vegan. Fortunately going vegan has the potential to be very protective against fibroids and appears to have been for her. Women also report having success with nothing more than planning whole plant food meals better. Some things I've learn; avoid teas around meal time because of their tannins. Eat whole plant foods like mixed greens, don't eat a lot of spinach (choose baby spinach and lightly cook it to remove oxalates), but a variety of other greens and Kale with vinegar and/or vitamin C rich foods like lemon, lime, orange, etc... to increase absorption. And I've heard it's better to get iron through each meal rather than all at once. In addition to greens, blackstrap molasses, dried fruit, sun dried tomatoes on a salad, soy and many other beans, lentils, chickpeas, black eyed peas, and nuts and seeds like pumpkin seeds which you can grind up into a powder and add to smoothies and salads or oatmeal (I prefer groat oats or at least steel cut), sesame seeds, hemp, etc...cashews, almonds, pine nuts, potatoes with the skin, mushrooms, prune juice, olives, mulberries, quinoa, dark chocolate, etc... oh, and chlorella is loaded with iron too. It could take time but be consistent and work with a plant based doctor or nutritionist. And try to reduce bleeding if that's why your iron is low. Exercise may help and staying hydrated. And ginger may help with excessive bleeding: "Just an eighth teaspoon of powdered ginger three times a day starting the day before their period cut their flow in half, and it seemed to work better each month they tried it, providing a highly effective, cheap, easy-to-use, safer treatment for menstrual blood loss and pain." nutritionfacts.org/2019/07/09/a-highly-effective-cheap-easy-to-use-safer-treatment-for-heavy-periods/

You are such a great speaker on this topic. You always re-inspire me. Your message somehow is gentle but urgent. 15 years vegan here. 68 yo F. I do chuckle as drug commercials and the wacky diet program commercials air during this.

when I see Dr. Klaper video I click and become a sponge soaking all this important information about eating a wfpb diet. This guy is a true pioneer on health. This New Year changing my eating habits my lifestyle to a wfpb to overcome any inflammation diseases. Every day is a new day to become a new you.

Got to love this man, he really cares and has had the courage to put it into action way ahead of his time. Was fascinated by the idea that some people's bodies might have turned off their own production of nutrients like carnitine due to being fed meat constantly from an early age. This might explain why some vegans who quit do feel differently when they first consume animal flesh, and also those who feel unwell without meat at first who get used to it over time. Remarkable idea. Grateful for all the information you provide so often Dr Klapper. 🙏

[@VeganLinked]

I did some probing to get that out of him :) glad you like and see where this is going!

[@Sunnahiman]

What a beautiful human being in the world. Dr you're truly a great gift too humanity ❤ 😄 ☪️ from N.J love your kind spirit and philosophical perspective. A.A 67yr young baby boomer. Organic juicing since 73 a Gary Null student and now moving towards vegetarianism. I only consumed chicken & wild salmon however I nevered liked the thought of having an chicken in my abdomen. I remember hearing a vegetarian say on w.b.a.i radio that our stomach was a graveyard for dead caucuses. So this is my time to become a no meat & dairy eater. Stay strong Blessings.

[@billbooth1592]

Dr. Klaper, What a pleasure listening to you (NON-STOP, I must add!). Words of Wisdom after Wisdom after Wisdom! Let it be! 🙏🙏🙏

[@lilith7706]

Speaking of ignorance of medical professionals... Before I changed my diet and went on my own journey of researching, learning and discovering plant based diet, I was told to eat red meat, heart, liver, etc. to improve low iron levels in addition to iron ampules. 🥴 Enough to say it did NOT work. And I vomitted the hell out of liver that I once ate back then in combo with those ampules. Years later and years of WFPBD, my blood looks amazing, all perfect values! 😊 Can't believe it, but I feel stupid for listening to this 'doctor' years ago. But I was young and I trusted them. Ugh... 😖

[@KFG721]

I’m so glad I watched this. What a great man. I found him when I went plant based two and a half years ago and I remember thinking, this is how I want to live

[@carlabrooks801]

Thank you Dr. Michael. I am so hopeful and grateful I came across this video. I have started my journey on a plant based diet for me and my children.

Became vegan 2 years ago, starting into year 3. Can't stand the thought of eating meat and dairy anymore. I still have chronic GI problems but maybe those will improve too.

[@VeganLinked]

You may want to try time restricted intermittent fasting; only eating within an 8 hour or less window and not when it's dark getting the bulk of your calories earlier in the day. And be sure to keep it as whole food plant as possible with an emphasis on a variety of beans and greens, as well as grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, and seeds. You probably know all this though :) Just my 2 cents, I'm not a doctor though... if you can see a plant based doctor that's the best!

[@lilyrosegarden6080]

Elimination diet may help to figure out the digestive issues. I'm on a healing journey too. Not 100% vegan yet but on the way. Dairy and gluten have been an issue for me for years but sometimes grains and lentils make me bloat. Just pay attention to what's causing an issue. Also look into the blood type diet.

[@jazzy8795]

I love Dr. klaper. He has such a tender loving heart. He also looks like my dad. GOD bless you Dr. Klaper

[@rachelgoodkind6545]

Thank you Dr. Klaper, your sincerity and compassion shows. I became vegan over twenty years ago and my only regret is that I did not do it sooner. Eat a non-violent diet and you will feel the difference. Peace.

I was B-12 deficient as a meat eater, soooo 🤷 It's business as usual.

[@MusicaAngela]

I like his reasons for supplementing his diet with a multi-vitamin, ensuring he eats greens, B12 etc. We move, breathe and drink different water from what was “natural “ so these modifications make sense.

[@carolmey8230]

Wondering if there are any plant based doctors in perth western australia.i would love to do this .im 77 .i hear so many different ways How do u start.??

[@MarcellaSmithVegan]

I don't know any meater that eat nutritionally complete diets. Tell me where in cheese burgers is Iodine, Zinc, or FIBER. Speaking of B12, currently 40% of meaters are low in B12 as they have been counting on the meat they eat has all they need. Farmers have to give cattle B12 to keep them well enough to walk to the slaughter house kill floor. There is nothing healthy about what cattle today eat.

Hi Dr. Klaper, The sad part of veganism is that we are still doomed with meat eaters and factory farming causing global warming. I hope we are not the last humans.

Thank you! Developed RA after having my son 6 years ago and it’s been a struggle because I didn’t know which way to turn. This month it’s been one year I lost my mom and she had diabetes since I was in high school, now I’m 41 years old . Mom always looked to me to help her with the change of eating which I did my best. Just this one video has opened up my mind and the change of motivation for the move to my vegan journey. I went to sleep listening to video and woke up to this video! I thank God for you and other experienced people with knowledge that know how to eat to live.
