    What started my vegan journey was the Dr. Sanjay Gupta documentary "The Last Heart Attack" (where one of the doctors was Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn ). I immediately ( and I mean...immediately ) watched "Forks over Knives". That movie has saved millions of lives!!

    Don't know her age, but certainly cannot deny that she is remarkably gorgeous, radiant even, no doubt at least partly thanks to being vegan. Having her family follow the same example is also admirable. That and being a health coach who does research/follows science is why she is so inspiring as there is so much misinformation out there, as well as many of ignorant people. Definitely need more people like this wonderful lady in the world, they are few and far between, but i don't doubt that will change in the future.

Hintergrund ist der mittlerweile wissenschaftlich gesicherte Effekt pflanzlicher Sterinester auf den Cholesterinspiegel. In der Osloer Studie sollte überprüft werden, in welchem Umfang die Behandlung von Kindern mit familiärer Hypercholesterinämie durch Pflanzensterine unterstützt werden kann.'

    My start was with The China Study, recommended by my doctor in 2017, followed by Forks Over Knives, which I've watched several times. My biggest challenges have been consistency and not eating badly for convenience's sake. Helps to watch TH-cam videos by the doctors mentioned - Campbell, Esselstyn, Greger, Barnard, others.

    I studied nutrition in the US in the 90’s- the best Universities in Nutrition at the time. Bs, Ms, internship & registration. I really wanted to help people be healthy. I was unaware what I was being taught came from the Food Industrial Complex via the Government through the Universities. I followed what they taught me, I never had energy & became quite ill. I traveled the word, found alternate ways of eating, divergent from what I had been taught & also gained access to much healthier food sources. It saved my life, I am healthy, my head doesn’t hurt every day, my joints don’t hurt. I have energy, sleep well & feel great. I will be 50 this year & in the past five years Vegan have even de-aged, many people think I am in my thirties. What she says makes since. I am encouraged to become a health coach & actually help people, something I have always felt passionate about again. Thank you🙏

    I started Vegan whole food 6 weeks ago. BP was 140/80 now 105/72, cholesterol 243 to 193 and lost 20 lbs. Now I hear about oxalates in veggies and sweet potatoes causing kidney failure. I need to meet with my doctor and a certified nutritionist.

    • @VeganLinked
      @VeganLinked  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      To illustrate how absurd the idea that eating sweet potatoes and being concerned about oxalates is, 80 percent Okinawan traditional diet with sweet potatoes and they had one of if not the most centenarians.

    • @VeganLinked
      @VeganLinked  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      If you're worried about oxalates, then be mindful of your spinach intake, pick baby leaves and lightly cook them. Or don't eat them because there's 10s if not hundreds of thousands of other edible plants and mushrooms to choose from.
      Spinach would be a problem if you monomeal it which doesn't make sense to do at all. But a little spinach tossed in a hot soup, burrito, sandwich, pizza, lasagna, or a salad with a little Kale, arugula, butter lettuce, romaine, radicchio, endive, mustard greens, baby bok choy, sprouts, chickpeas, kidney beans, lentils, black beans, couscous, quinoa, or rice, artichokes, carrots, maybe a little potatoes, I love Japanese Potatoes, olives, few dashes of kelp, homemade vinegarette, sun dried tomatoes, fennel, oregano, unfortified nutritional yeast, some green onions, beets, ah so many things to mix with the greens. But honestly, I never really eat spinach and I'm vegan AF.

      Clearly you're not getting information from reliable sources if you're concerned about sweet potatoes and oxalates. I say this also because I get the same comment over and over I'm people watching unqualified TH-camr anti-vegans.

    • @VeganLinked
      @VeganLinked  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Here is a canned response regarding so-called anti-nutrients:
      So, let's pick this apart:
      Lectins are so bad they may actually be protective against cancer... th-cam.com/video/COCkviQV85I/w-d-xo.html
      Oh wow, phytates SAME THING
      th-cam.com/video/wgihTBZrOvY/w-d-xo.html
      Dietary oxalates are really not a problem for people eating whole plant foods. It's more a problem for people eating an acidic diet of animals rather than an alkaline vegan diet.
      th-cam.com/video/Wp9O-ehynVI/w-d-xo.html
      I did a video on nutrient density, the pinned comment talks about so called "anti nutrients" and how silly they are to worry about: th-cam.com/video/C_eGjpRQ52w/w-d-xo.html
      As for lectins we can sprout or cook those foods (apparently you're not aware of that), problem solved. If you're still worried for some reason, soak your dry beans over night and add a little vinegar or citrus.
      As for oxalates, if all we ate was spinach then it would be a problem but obviously we eat other things so it's not necessary to worry about. Eat healthy foods in moderation to achieve the healthiest variety, don't mono-meal like a complete retard. Spinach has the most oxalates so if you're worried get baby leaves and lightly cook them and maintain variety. Beet greens and collard greens have a lot too, and other things but nowhere near as much as spinach. Everywhere else it's so nominal it's not worth mentioning unless you're trying to make up excuses to not eat healthy. You could also just eat one of the other tens of thousands of other edible plants instead.

    Super inspiring! I’ve been playing with the idea of becoming a coach but more so from my own personal experience of not eating meat for 20 years and vegan for 6, rather then going thru all the schooling. I feel like I’ve self educated myself enough but still don’t know if I could necessarily feel confident giving others nutritional advice that’s why maybe I was thinking about coming at it from more of the philosophy side. Do you think that’s possible? She didn’t seem like she thought those without degrees would be credible enough, so now I’m feeling a bit discouraged. Would be curious of anyone’s thoughts on this. Thanks! ☺️🙏

    • @VeganLinked
      @VeganLinked  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've had similar thoughts but really it's best to have the schooling so I haven't personally pursued it. People are very complex so ideally you would have some sort of education on how to meet them where they're at and know your limitations. Hopefully you can find a way to help others if that's your passion. We need as many people helping people as possible!

      @@jmc1151 let me know if you come up with a good idea maybe I'll want to do it too lol. I think one of the best things I've thought to do is just share my story with people. So I'm hoping one day to do that in some way like through a nice presentation or something. But the reason why I thought about being a health coach of sorts is because I've had people ask me to be their health coach on a couple of occasions. If my life was settled enough I probably could have conjured up some sort of contract to help them focus on the simplest way of eating a well plan variety of whole plant foods. But I feel like I'm always learning new things so I'm kind of glad I didn't when I thought to because I would have to go back and change things. At least if you have a degree and things change you can blame it on change but if you don't have a degree then they could just blame it on you I guess lol I don't know. Have you looked at maybe being a food for life instructor or getting t colon Campbell's nutrition certification or Dr Fuhrman's certification? I imagine those things would be super easy to get and then you're good to go for at least that level.

    • @VeganLinked
      @VeganLinked  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I can't speak for Melissa but see a plant based doctor. Make sure you're supplementing B12. Make sure yo up don't have some underlying issue like fibroids causing excessive bleeding. Learn about tannins like from certain teas and coffees and avoid those around meal times. Add ascorbic acid (vitamin c) to you iron rich foods like lemon, orange or vinegar. Eat a variety and lot of greens but avoid eating a lot of spinach. If you eat spinach get baby leaves since they have less oxalates and and lightly cook them. So each meal can have lots of different greens whether it's a side of cooked, a big salad, or a green smoothie. Pumpkin seeds are a great source of iron. I like to throw a serving of pumpkin seeds in my kale smoothie, I usually put pineapple, orange, banana, almonds, chia seeds in my kale smoothie. I use a Vitamix because it makes the best smoothies. We keep some ground pumpkin seeds and ground flax and a ground seed mixture for other meals like groats, salads, soups.

      ​@@VeganLinked The people who say they don't do well on a vegan diet are probably not eating a HEALTHY vegan diet. Or they have not given a sufficient amount of time to cleaning out their body from what came before which sometimes can include some discomfort. There are also societal and familial forces that have conditioned people to believe that the standard American diet is best for health. Mountains of evidence say otherwise. A lot of resistance to the Vegan way of eating is psychological and based on many decades of being fed false information about food from those who stand to benefit.
