Yo. 👏🏼Listen 👏🏼 up. 👏🏼
I’ve had hypothyroidism for 4 years. I take thyroid hormone medication every morning. 5 months ago my energy was just stupidly low, so they did a blood test, and sure enough, my TSH hormone was out of wack. So I went on a vegan diet, only consuming whole foods (fruits, veggies, whole grains and legumes, nuts and seeds, nothing processed). 5 months later, my energy is amazing, but I was still skeptical, so they did another blood test, and my TSH levels were back to normal. I ONLY changed my diet. 4 years with this disease...I fixed terrible symptoms in 5 months. With DIET. 🤯
Thank you for sharing! I’ve had a thyroidectomy and have been on this medication rollercoaster ever since. Hormones are definitely out of whack. I know WFPB works, I just need to be more consistent with eliminating even the vegan processed foods. You have given me hope. 💗😃👍🏽
Same disease..didnt thrive until i went keto. Full of energy now and fit like an athlete
Yes, plant by product sugar and high fructose corn syrup will ruin your health.
You know what else has zero Sugar? MEAT!
Same with my daughter. Finally off her thyroid and hormone meds. 🥰
Waw that’s sund good. I have hashimoto’s and problems with food and mood . Hope I can go with vegan.
I had the exact experience you describe around the 19min mark. My husband and I had been together 6 years, never able to get pregnant. We never used any protection at all and I never got pregnant. We didn’t know if it was me or him but I suspected it was me because my periods were very irregular at the time. Sometimes I would go 2 months without a period at all. I was approaching 30 and I was desperate to have a baby, so I started thinking maybe the hormones in animal products was effecting my hormones. So I went plant based (became vegan shortly after when I learned the ethical stuff). In 5 months after going vegan I found out I was pregnant with my first baby. I had a healthy picture perfect vegan pregnancy and had a healthy baby boy. 14 months later my husband and I were not being careful and we did the deed once without protection and two weeks later I found out I was pregnant again. This time without trying at all. It’s like I went from being infertile to being extremely fertile. Now I have 2 healthy boys who I breastfed exclusively and now my period is regular and I have no cramps anymore which I had bad cramps before, no breast pain during pms either which I used to have a lot. I 100% believe I would not have my sons if I hadn’t gone vegan. I wish more people would open their eyes to the miracle this diet is. I think it could help everyone in some way.
EricaMorgan wow amazing! Did you cut off oils from your diet as well?
Did the anti nutrients help u conceive?
Great, wonderful story. Did you eat oganic too?
my horrible horrible cramps also totally cleared up once i went vegan!
That's crazy! Interesting...same thing happened to me but with keto. Funny how that works?
Two men that are so confident in their own sexualities that - instead of arm wrestling or drinking beer - they are talking about menstruation, PMS and female fertility.
Golden!! :)
Need a heart to love this comment :)
I talk about menstruation when Im arm wrestling
@vegan sandra Totally agree. Men need to integrate their feminine side, just like women need to integrate their male side.
@@marco00029 I'm impressed by your ability to do two things at the same time.
@@MindVersusMisery "men need to do this, women need to do this".. lets just let people live the way they want to
"Confusion is all you need to sell." No KIDDING! Love these guys.
LADIES whatever he is saying about the menstrual cramps is, based on my experience, completely true. I didn’t even know someone was researching this but did an experiment on my own, no mood swings, no cramps, no nothing after going from vegetarian to vegan, cutting out alcohol and doing intermittent fasting for 1 month. It was the first time in 4 years I didn’t need to take a pain killer!
WFPB and IF, have been simply life changing for me. Awesome interview fellas 👍
Right!? My freaking period creeps up on me now and I don’t even know it! Kind of bad thing LOL 😂
WISH I WOULD HAVE GOT STRICT A DEVADE AGO. I have been studying for 20 years on health but never got strict myself! It’s never too late! 🙏🏼
It's so true. When I went vegetarian my period cramps almost completely went away. Before that I was missing work because of pain. I recently went plant-based and now it's virtually non-existent.
Same for me. Cramps are completely gone since I’m vegan. No breakouts around my period either
@@joku3438 do you eat soy products? There are some contradicting studies around it as if it would increase the estrogen level so was wondering if I should exclude that too...
My favourite thing about Dr. Barnard is that he's a plant-based doctor who will actually admit that he doesn't know when the studies are inconclusive instead of just claiming that plant-based eating will fix everything. I think that honest communication like this is how we get more people eating like this :)
I noticed that too! Yes I agree wholeheartedly.
Yes, Dr. Barnard comes across as making a conscious effort to be accurate and evaluate studies carefully. What I like the most is that he helped me understand that the traditional approach to eat chicken without the skin is not good dietary advice to really get my cholesterol levels down. I was relieved to learn that we can get cholesterol down but need to do whole food plant based eating to achieve it. This was great news for me,!and it worked! I was confused before hearing Dr Barnard because my cholesterol stayed high with my doctor’s advice to eat chicken without skin! He is also a great catalyst for better nutrition policies such as getting vegan options in hospitals and schools! I will keep donating to PCRM to support this good work.
Dr. Barnard brings the gold, and his voice and manner of speaking are really soothing.
As befits a con man.
Agreed. He exudes so much ease and elegance as well.
I agree!!
Agreed! He is a gem! Honest, good natured and very knowledgeable!
I admire his sincerity most and can bring the facts.
One thing I respect about Dr Neal Barnard is that his not scared to say i dont know, but you can rest assured he will get to the bottom of it.
Abiton Phiri 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Indeed. That imbues trust.
Here here. A true sign of an open explorative scientific mind. Ask the questions...
Cheers for the Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard about - Chireetler Stubborn Fat Rule (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a smashing one off guide for discovering what to eat to balance hormones and eliminating trouble fat spots without the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my cousin after a lifetime of fighting got great success with it.
Hahahaha. He often withholds information because he knows it would implicate the vegan diet as unhealthy.
Love this! Dr Barnard deserves a Nobel Peace for his brilliant life's work helping and healing others.
Totally agree: Nobel for health 👏
ABSOLUTELY AGREE
@@frompizzaaddicttovegan xx
Amazing devotion
Wonderful guy.
As an Aussie, we need more doctors like Dr Barnard. He's awesome.
Daffy ohhh so you’re a troll and an ass. You were one of the thumbs down idiots for this video. You must be a troll leaving comments like that on behalf of the national dairy association.
@Daffy can you provide any scientific studies to back up your claims ?
Daffy Autopsies have been done on babies who are stillborn or die shortly after birth. Fatty streaks were found in their hearts. Fatty streaks are the beginning of heart disease. Just as women who are pregnant or hope to get pregnant now know to stop smoking and quit drinking, in our lifetime we should expect that they too will decrease the amount of animal products consumed. You can check out the research on NutritionFacts.org or in Dr Michael Greger’s book “How Not to Die.”
@Daffy babies don't eat food? they just drink milk
Check out Dr Greger
Great conversation. I could listen to doctor Barnard every day. He is a down to earth guy and a very ethical human being.
And he's a musician too
Agreed!
And to think Jon Venus called him and Dr. Greger "too arrogant". 😑
@@tweedledummie
WHOAA ✌️😁👍
I like his accent. He speaks so clearly. His annunciation of words is prefect!
I gave up meat in college and hardly had any dairy. Low and behold, my menstrual cramps went away. I never knew why until I watched, “Forks Over Knives” and thought about the fact that you can’t cook hormones out of meat. Makes perfect sense. Thank you, Dr. Barnard for confirming what I thought might be the cause of my cramps.
Neal Barnard & John McDougall are my favourite people in the world. Not to forget Dr Klaper! Hero's all of them!
26CT1520 Don’t forget, Dr. Esselstyn, Dr. Greger, and Dr. Fuhrman are also great. Yes they all great. I’m happy that they all are promoting thia healthy lifestyle.
@@fitness2947 don't forget the wonderful Dr Milton Mills and Dr Kim Williams they have taught me a lot. Especially Dr Mills and why we are not carnivores
Have my period for nearly 20 yrs now and only since I'm vegan it's not painful anymore!
I eat meat and mine isn't painful.
same! veganism changed my period to pain free!
@@AG-nn8lp I cut out dairy anmd it helped me so much.
That’s not a good thing. Many women stop having their period after going vegan. Because your body goes into a state of self-preservation on a vegan diet, because the diet is absolutely devoid of any nutrition. Vegan diet is a permanent fast, so you will see healing at first, but then if you don’t introduce animal foods back, your body will begin attacking itself for vitamins and nutrients.
@@camwhitman5425 that's just utter bs. People are used to eating small portions of calorie dense, not nutrient dense, food and then keep their portion size while eating less calorie dense but more nutrient dense food. so they under eat. and under eating is never good, on any diet and will lead to loosing your perion in the long run. as well as massively overeating will make you lose your period at some point due to hormonal imbalance. get educated and stop bashing vegans, ty.
On a WFPB diet i have zero pms symptoms and zero pain, zero acne and a highhhh level of energy, and lost weight automatically.
So great to hear a medical focus on women. Thank you Dr. Barnard!
Qe
I want to say that your mental state is huge when it comes to your health. For instance I stopped being anemic a few months after I left my abusive marriage and started to heal from my past trauma, I forgave people and started to learn how to process my emotions and stress. My mental state changed I had less painful shorter periods my diet didn't change too much from before just my environment and mental health.
When I went plant based I had no more monthly pain, no more depression, and I love all my meals! So grateful for finding the wonderful vegan doctors! Feel wonderful! Thanks guys!!!💝💝💝💝
Wow What did you eat before?!
Dr Barnard is such a well spoken & ethical physician. I wish there were more docs like him. The world would definitely be a better place and people would be more informed about diet and illness.
I really agree! He’s dedicated and very concerned for the greater good of people and the planet! We need this One earth one health approach!
I have PCOS and I got my first real cycle naturally in 12 years when I went plant based. It took 2 months
My wife was just diagnosed with this, but unfortunately she isn't willing to go full plant based. I'm trying to ease her into healthy eating starting with lower carb/no added sugar/more green veggies etc and maybe we can pivot to lower meat/oil once she is comfortable.
@Infantry Gunner to be honest I wasnt really thinking too much of that. Buy organic if you can. I am no longer plant based though because i have some allergies, but uptake your veggies as much as possible. I think our problem in America is processed food and not enough veggies. I am still getting my period. I started at 240 and now at 190. I follow a lower carb diet, but if your body will let you going plant based is wonderful.
@@Hosebrain when I wrote this I was fully plant based but I developed candida from the high sugars in grains and fruit which made my fibro worse, but I definitely eat way more veggies now. If she would eat half her plate of veggies and lower her meat, I beat she would start to feel better. If she can going plant based would be great if she is not allergic to the grains. Since she is probably insulin resistant she may develop candida like I did. I just want to let you know.
@@tamimg83 Thanks for the heads up. She's not into fruit all that much and we've cut out the bad grains so I think she will be okay there. We're just making an effort to get her as close to plant based as possible, while avoiding the things that might spike her blood sugar. She is so skinny but still having these issues... That's why it's so important to check your diet/nutrition and overall health whether you are large or small. Never know what's really going on within your body until you run tests and get honest with yourself about diet and exercise. Can't just wait for things to start going wrong before taking action.
@Infantry Gunner I am now following the blood type diet. The first 25 pounds was plant based and then the next 25 was low carb high protein. There are many skeptics in regards to the blood type diet, but it explains why I feel my best on a low carb diet. My husband is doing the plant based diet and thriving. He lost 60 pounds going plant based, and he says he feels so much better. We are complete opposites. I did have higher triglycerides too.
This was my story. I had menstrual cramps to the point where I would puke and faint. I once fainted from the front seat of my car onto a main road! So scary. It did not go away right away when I switched to vegan because I was a raw vegan. When I switched to whole food plant based, added flax seeds, unprocessed organic soy, and turmeric with black pepper and a bit of fat, and IT'S GONE!!! NEVER GOING BACK,IT HAS BEEN 7 YEARS.
Oh yes and I cut out the oils!
Thank you so much for sharing! So helpful! 🙏
How long did it take for you to see a change?
@@lf8238 you're so welcome! If I can help anyone with this I am more than happy because it changed my life! It definitely took a few months for me since I switched to wfpb, so just know that change is always gradual. I also wrote a bit about it here maybe this will be helpful to you and feel free to ask me anything about this: www.soulintheraw.com/reduce-menstrual-cramps-naturally/
Most lose period on vegan diet 💯
Dr. Neal is the man, I to grew up in Fargo ND around cattle. Go vegan for your health and for these intelligent beautiful animals.
well said
@angrykulla 🤯
Plants are full of toxins, enzyme inhibitors, oxalates, lectins - things that cause cumulative damage. Veganism is not sustainable or healthy. Vegetable oils and spreads aren't even a food product!
@@Ida-Adriana what do they fed cows that aren't grass fed? You know we would need 7 worlds if you wanted to make all beef grass fed?
@@Ida-Adriana plants are also full of phytochemicals and antioxidants great for health and reducing risk of disease.
Love to hear Dr. Barnard talking. Always a good day when he’s on the RRP. Also, the dude refuses to age!
Absolutely! His skin is glowing! 🤗
Holy shit, is it Christmas again already? Wasn't expecting an episode with Dr Barnard, I love this guy, what a legend!
He genuinely is a legend!!!
👍👍👍💚✌️
Me too!
I just love him!!
Regarding acne: I developed adult acne at 21, started a vegetarian diet at 23 (no change in acne), started a plant based diet at 30 and the acne completely went away within 3-7 days. I'm 33 now and if I eat dairy, I still break out.
I seem to be the opposite. I had perfect skin on animal diet. Went vegan for health, now I have acne and bloating. Think it’s digestive trouble making be break out. I really hope I can figure this out because I seem to be developing a lot of problems but I know this diet is so good for us and the planet
@@th3shaggst3r37 It depends on what you eat. A lot of bloating sounds to me like you may getting too much fiber. Also eating things too high in carbs straight after being a long time animal eater may negatively impact you for a while until you adapt. I would opt for foods lower in the glycemic index, and alternatives like black or brown rice, until you get used to what foods are healthy and nutritious. It’s easy once you get going, but starting out on a vegan diet can be challenging and you may be eating wrong. I would probably slowly ease into it to get the hang of what foods you should eat and stuff. Also make sure you are getting enough omega 3 to balance out omega 6, since an imbalance can cause acne from what I’ve heard.
@@th3shaggst3r37 Try cutting out nuts from your vegan diet..
Joe
may be introduce gradually, a lower amount
Lactose intolerant 🤷.. also omnivores are intolerant.
What a brain and what a mind on Dr. Barnard. He can switch from one topic to another thrown at him by the interviewer within a second, talk for 1.5 h consistently and without pauses or any sign of fatigue, coherently and very specifically and educationally. What a treat to just sit back and listen the entire interview, getting soaked with scientific information, and wisdom. My biggest resonating point was about alcohol, with which I did have a problem myself, when Dr. Barnard said something along the lines of waking up with this "creepy feeling you have toxins in your body". Oh my! Preach!!! That was exactly how I was feeling when I used to wake up hang over, I just couldn't verbalize it. And that creepy feeling of poisoning yourself (which when I type it sounds like a really idiotic thing to do to your body in the first place) leads immediately to feeling guilty and ashamed of yourself. Why do we do that? It's our alcohol culture, we're being exposed to it since childhood by seeing it as a norm at our homes with our caregivers and family environments giving us that example, and of course in popular culture, TV and films, alcohol is portrayed in a very normal way, associated with joy, fun, adulthood, manliness, success, sex, friends, social and career advancement, relaxation, rewarding yourself, etc., just all these false "positive" messages that are completely wrong and lead to disastrous outcomes later down the road for many individuals when they make such connections in their brain so early on in life. I know I did, as a 20 something year old it was normal and considered fun to get totally wasted on weekends with friends. How fucking awful!!!
So true. I gave up alcohol 6 Mos after I went 100% vegan and at 51 and 6’ I’m 180 lbs , low bp, no ED, and my skin is clear and supple
Meat and alcohol make us ugly fat and sick
@@mrdave5232 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
My hubby has no attention span for many of my "talks", but he really enjoyed your video! We both learned a lot, thank you.
Awesome video! I'm a breast cancer patient in remission. I went wfpb and my numbers drastically changed. I'm not a doctor I'm a teacher so I look forward to sharing it with other that don't necessarily believe me. Thank you!!
good luck, the science says it works, so wishing you a fast recovery :)
Vit C is essential, best gotten from food. th-cam.com/video/RBMnRmbNMr0/w-d-xo.html
Teresa Moews 💚🙌🏽💚
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Victory!!!!
Happy to hear that you're in remission and wish you a long wonderful life. Only one scientist(S. Korean), an immunologist, said during pandemic( we here in US botched up the covid handling from the start) that virus loves and thrives in an acidic atmosphere. It applies to cancer too. When you consume animal protein, the by products are uric acid. For an optimal health, your body should be alkaline. Alkalinity is only in the fruits, veggies which are mostly simple carbs, fibers with hardly any protein and fat but vitamins and mineralsrich. So, our intake should consist mostly of these and some protein and less fat.
Let's forget about plants, meat, zillion diet and use simple common sense which doesn't require any degree. Medical community picks and chooses things that suits their pockets. When it comes to protein, they have been brainwashing people for long that only animal protein consists of all the essential amino acids and plant protein is not and hence inferior to animal protein. The amount of cruelty done to animals in the name of animal protein is insane. If animal protein is so good, then why do you need doctors? No animals in the wild go to doctors. Plants/trees don't move and hence they have developed a far more robust immune system than animals.
Think for yourself and ask lots and lots of questions until it makes sense without any bias. You know your body better than anyone else. You call 911 or go to the doctor when you have to. It's not that the doctor had a telepathy and calls you and says "you're are going to be sick in couple of days, so get an appointment with me". Everyone should use some critical thinking and look for consistency and objectivity.
I have hypothyroidism and was vegan for half a year and off the medication and my blood tests came perfect. When my doctor asked me what happened I told him I became a vegan. He laughed at me. He said it can’t be possible. But based on the blood tests, he can’t recommend medication to me. Incredible!
Wow, that's good for you. Not only doctors, no ones believes that. But it's true. We as people have fooled ourselves and been fooling since then. It not easy for people believing this, without knowing actually what's happening. Like Doctors, they only know, what happened to your thyroid and tests and get levels, and know medication and they prescibe it to us. But no one tell why your levels are off and how you got those levels off. 🤷♂️, btw, if you don't mind, may i ask u this, "you went all plant based or is there any restrictions to your diet in not having hypothyroidism, like increase iodine or so?" Thanks
How arrogant and closed minded of him!
i'm amazed that this man is 67 years old. he looks like he's around 40.
He is whaaat? Im shocked
It's the Paul McCartney Effect lol
Late 50's maybe, not 40!
OMG I just had to look that up, would never have guessed that 😱. I thought early to mid 50s. Amazing! If that's not a selling point for WFPB, I don't know what is.
Oh man, I'm pumped for this one! Dr. Neal is the REAL DEAL! Love this man so much!
Was lucky enough to meet him in person here in Philly in September. A truly nice guy.
Susana Duarte Raposo
I reallllyyyy admire Dr. Barnard. He is my hero, my mentor. Everything I’ve learned on Plant Based Nutrition I learned mostly from him...Thank you 1000x.... There’s also Michael Gregor, T. Colin Campbell, Michael Klaper, Pam Popper, Dean Ornish....love them all. I wish there would be more doctors like them
Have you come across Zach Bush too?
Marie Pearce No, but I will check! Thank you very much for your Tip!
Went vegetarian a month ago but very close to vegan & for the 1st time i had a period that wasnt awful after only 2 weeks of doing it. Now i am a month in & i feel so much better than i was. My anxiety has diminished, my migraines are less & less, i am more energetic & can ficus more. My mood has improved as well. Hoping weight loss wont be far behind
sugar.
Good luck in your journey, you are lucky to have found it so young . I’m 60 now , no meat in 40 years . No dairy in 10 .
Who are the people that hit dislike on such a video? This is a doctor who clearly cares about helping people. Get real, people!
Pro-meat people haaaaate this video
Neal Barnard is a hero. Yes! A hero!
I love this interview. He's so humble and kind. I get tired of pro vegan doctors that bash meat research instead of focusing on pro vegan or plant base research. It's so refreshing to hear pure research.
In the world where there are such a variety of characters with a platform, the two of you, especially together is refreshing and welcome. Vegan blessings!
I loved it when MD Barnard said "no disrespect for cows" ❤️ Peace, love, vegan.
Barnard and Dr. Greger are my heroes..!
It's thanks to Neal that I was able to transition to a healthy whole foods plant based diet, which then lead to marathon after marathon after marathon - which then lead to me discovering Rich Roll. I do believe I've now come full circle with this interview. :)
"Confusion Is The Product." great quote!
I’m going to be a student dietician and so I’m studying . I’m a vegan took my diet super strictly for 2 years and this is going to continue for the rest of my life great podcast rich … I’m also in the best shape in my life I’ve been working and doing cardio for a very long time and I want to carry on like that’s and so I come to my conclusion GOD BLESS YOU GUYS !!
Dr Barnard is one of my favourites. Explaining everything with kindness and simplicity. Thank goodness for you!
i’ve been vegan (not a super healthy one) for three and a half years but i do still get period pain. but now i’m going to pay close attention to hormones and eating more naturally.
thank you dr barnard 🤗
Dr. Barnard my favorite adviser and one of the most legendary hero....
Whole foods plant based for the win, again!!! I love that vegan lifestyle 🍃🌱💚
who could dislike this???
Both of them are my heroes and most amazing, intelligent, wise people I've ever seen
They probably didn't even watch half of the episode before disliking. 🤨
Larisa Triener I found one idiot who called him a criminal and said he was robbing children from eating healthy foods like eggs and BUTTER. This guy left the comment under the woman who said, “As an Aussie, we need more people like Dr. Barnard” (which I didn’t quite understand what her being Australian had to do with it, but whatever LOL)
Larisa Triener they’re probably trolls working for the dairy association and lobbyists.
@@KiaTheDMVBison There is no known equivalent of Dr Neal Barnard in Australia. There are not many vegan doctors at all, let alone famous ones. Lucky we have youtube!
I love Dr. Barnard except for the fact that he looks better in his 60's than I do in my 30's!!!
Ugh...he looks amazing!
Haha!!!
Haha lol same!! :D :D
Oh Yes
His skin does look wonderful LOL!
Love these two men. Thank you! Dr. Greger soon?
Exactly what I was thinking!
When I first went plant based in 2012, I had a complete blood panel done. They doctor said I was low in sodium and I had hypothyroidism. So I incorporated a head of celery a day into my diet and the next time I had labs done, I had corrected both the low sodium and the hypothyroidism.
Celery is fairly high oxalate . . . but seems your good! Congrats.
@@eugeniebreida1583 This oxalate fear I have been seeing the past year or so seems to be harmless. I only had the issues that they supposedly cause way before I went plant-based and then vegan. I have been eating a lot of greens and celery and broccoli and have never had anything but benefits from them.
@@charliemorrison8168 I hear you. Just to say I enjoy my broccoli and greens, etc. I just am a little more cautious with the spinach, chard and celery (not as much), as I am aware how very high those first two are. I can feel spinach/chard stripping the calcium from my teeth as I chew . . . not a great sensation!
I have digestive/nutritional challenges, it sounds as if you have them whipped. Congrats!
interesting stuff. great chat here. Neal Barnard speaks so much sense! I have been vegan over 13 years and I feel at my absolute best. Personally, I also avoid wheat, gluten and soy (just for personal reasons). I pack in lots of healthy carbs, nuts, seeds, greens, fruits every day now.
This was such a fascinating video. I suffer from a few hormonal conditions and no one has ever explained these issues like Dr. Bernard. Thank you so much.
Every word is so true!!!!! Thank you, Dr Barnard! I healed myself by going plant-based!
This should be watched by tens of millions of people.
my hypothyroidism cleared up to the extent I could come off medication. I would love to know how to take part in studies in this - because it's such a new area of research and I find people think I'm either crazy or making it up. I just really wan to help others. I know how awful it is to be hit with that tiredness, where you drag yourself to bed because you're so exhausted you feel like you've been hit by a truck... Where you're sleeping 10 hours at night and still needing a 2 hour nap in the day. It's awful. I look back now and I am amazed I got through it. I hope there's something in this that can be demonstrated with science, because I don't want to be a miracle, I want this to be repeatable so others can feel better too.
What?! I had no clue Dr. Barnard had another book out. I dropped everything minutes in and bought it right away. These men are Earth Warriors. Bless you. Thank you.
Wow! 🤯I would literally faint from menstrual pain each month. And now, 50 years later, I learn it was due to my horrible diet! Fortunately, I follow I WFPB lifestyle now!
Man, Dr. Bernard is one of the very few people I can listen to for hours and hours!
This has got to be one of the best podcasts I've ever listened to. Thank you for everything you do Rich!
I love Dr. Barnard!! He makes sense of all of this info, and this was ACE chat!
Hello
Going vegan years ago was one of the best decisions in my life. I had plenty of health issues before, now I have none. I don't understand how is it allowed to publish articles with headlines like "Sugar is fine" or "Fat is not bad for you", and "Eat beef"... we have so many researches now and proofs on the contrary, we know it's not healthy.
I can watch and listen to Dr Neal Barnard all day. I love him. Super awesome in every way.
Rich, you have become one of my role models. Thank you for finding such intelligent, knowledgeable and eloquent guests with truly informative content in your interviews. Your humility in your style of interviewing is also way cool because you make your guests really shine.
Thank you, Dr. Neal, for taking into account endometriosis. We are thousands of patients and most doctors don´t even know what it is. They make us eat dairy and meat.
Dr. Barnard is God sent!
Thank you to Dr Barnard & Rich Roll for this interesting podcast. I myself had not been ovulating for 7 years after quitting the pill. I started a whole foods plant based diet and 2 months later my cycle returned. My OBGYN did not know how that was possible.
Thank you for this excellent interview. I feel I have to speak up for ladybirds(ladybugs). Don't get rid of them, they eat aphids, they help plants survive. You want ladybirds in your garden!
Thanks Rich. I'm a fan of both you and Neal, so looking forward to this one. You have helped motivate me to start my own channel and by sticking with it my subscriber count is starting to increase. Thank you so much for being so inspirational.
Really love it when an expert isn't afraid to say I don't know, or we don't know. Lot's of good information here.
Thank you Rich Roll and Dr. Barnard for all you do. You are both my heroes ❤️
I love Dr. Neal Barnard! I love the way he speaks and how informative he is without being confusing. Great conversation between you two!
He's right, you do touch so many lives. Thank you so much for all the inspiring conversations !
What an amazing video! So calming and motivating to move into a vegan life style. I am not 100% vegan but after today, I think it will give it a go.
I had horrible cramps my whole life and 2 weeks on a vegan diet I couldn’t believe I had no PMS or cramps. I thought it was a fluke but for months nothing. Then I brought a little occasional dairy back into my diet and immediately the cramps and PMS came back.
It’s anecdotal. Your results don’t mean that milk was the problem. There was dis-ease in your body from some underlying condition, likely due to inflammation. When you went on the vegan diet, you essentially shut down your bodies basic functions, because a vegan diet provides zero nutrition to the body; the body goes into self-preservation mode (this is the same as a fast). So when you added back animal foods, you broke the fast and this re-revealed the underlying inflammation in the body. What you should do is fast for about 14 days and then go on an animal-based diet. This will fix your issues and nourish the body.i
@@camwhitman5425 What u said makes noooo sense! If vegan diet provides no nutritional value then you’re telling me you only eat meat? No vegetables? Even science shows the benefits of vegetarians 🙄
@@KnowWhat the only benefit for vegetarians is that they’re consuming high amounts of dairy to nourish the body and offset a lot of the damage caused by the indigestible plant proteins and fiber that cause much inflammation in the body. Fiber from plants causes inflammation in the bowels and although it has some benefit in regulating or slowing down the absorption of sugar in the gut lining, it’s more detrimental in causing leak gut and preventing the proper absorption of nutrients from those nutrient-dense animal foods. A high-carb diet will raise Triglycerides in the body, which is atherogenic (causes atherosclerotic plaque) . A high-fat (Low-carb) animal based diet, rich in saturated fat and cholesterol, will actually lower triglycerides and raise HDL. It will also raise LDL which mainstream medical industry says is bad, but it’s actually beneficial to fighting infection in the vascular system and reducing inflammation. Check out some of the videos from Dr. Nadir Ali on cholesterol and what is the optimal diet for longevity. He has many informative videos on these subjects.
A great listen as always. You can always rely on Neal Barnard MD to have his finger on the pulse and be honest.
@Les Jackson You can't.
@@andreasmelkersson3592 don't want things to get convoluted but you were confusing, unless alluding to Barnard's being quoted on What the Health doc which had its detractors.
Got distracted by Andreas Melkersson wanted to reply that he incarnates that line in the poem If by Kipling, 'if you can keep your head while all around others are losing theirs'; grace under pressure.
@@evelynbaron2004 I am talking about Neal's campaign. Neal seems still unable to understand that correlation doesn't imply causation.
@@andreasmelkersson3592 , can you point specifically to what claim he made that you can falsify? Thanks.
Rich u must have done many things right that u get to talk, like real talk, all these beautiful 💚 inspiring people.
Keep them coming ✌️👍💚Theae are my mental spiritual smoothies..👍
This is exceptional. The amount of information packed into this episode is outstanding. I’ll be listening to this another time...or more...to feel confident that I’ve followed the content. I’m in graduate school all over again.
You both give so generously of your time and knowledge... appreciated this interview!
I respect Dr. Barnard so much. what a great podcast. Thanks for sharing with us
Thank you! From the bottom of my heart, thank you! I cannot wait to watch part 2 and 3!!!
Thank you Dr Barnard for speaking out (~1 hour 14 minutes) against all the chemicals put into our food! Thanks Rich for the great interview!! You guys rock!
I love this man, everything he says or advises makes so much sense. Brilliant.
I love listening to Dr. Barnard. Thanks Rich for all the great information!
Thank you Dr Barnard for doing all that you do for us and the animals.
Such a great podcast! Dr Neal Barnard shared so much. Thank you!
I very much appreciate this. I feel like I can breathe and affirm it is okay to feel good with what information I am digesting while I enjoy Rich's podcasts.
Until age 20 I had the worst menstrual cramps. Then women’s groups recommended calcium. I just had to take one or two tabs just before my period and it stopped cramps completely. No pain vomiting or passing out from pain. Complete relief. And I ate meat and dairy everyday.
Rich Roll I read your book.This was one of your best interviews...Thank You Dr. Neal Barnard for sharing.
Take Aways: Be low fat vegan. Get plenty of rest. Exercise. Have fun. Buy organic.
Organic is a con
@Zeek Banistor fool
@Zeek Banistor and a place you can find evil and abuse...rather not, but u crack on selfishly ruining the world n taking lives for that delicious steak 👍
@Zeek Banistor You're such a pathetic troll.
@Zeek Banistor educate yourself to not make others educate you
Dr. Barnard is effortless to listen to and Rich, you are the BEST interviewer. 😊🌞
thank rich👍 very great insights about the book with beloved dr. neal. I really liked it...
such a good vibe and energy in this podcast you guys are ahead of the game
If you enjoy the vid consider donating to PCRM and buying one of Dr. Barnard’s books.
I'm a monthly donor to the PCRM and I'm very proud to support their work! 🙌👍
I just donated a broccoli
He is plenty wealthy. The sports jerseys behind him are not bargain buys. Income from 15 books gives enough income to not need donations. He worked for the nice lifestyle, earned it, but no to donate
You covered a LOT of ground in this interview. Dr Barnard is a leader and I like the way he will admit if hes not 100% sure of something where as others may present something that's grey as fact. A true master.
The estrogen flush with fiber present makes so much sense! Thanks to both of you for the great pot cast!
Two of my very favorite people! Love all of their talks!
Love love love this interview!!!!! I listened to it 2x back to back that’s how much I liked it!!!! And sent link to a few humans that need to hear this all...
Great podcast ✅⭐️💯
I love Dr Barnard, it's a pleasure to listen what he says
Plant based helped my hormones SO much-very few hot flashes now and decreasing and I am almost completely off my thyroid meds! So happy and I am thin again! I have his book on pre-order on amazon :) I just can't get enough. I'm 27 and I want to marry Dr. Neal Barnard. He's smart, down to earth and a real human being *cue princess swoon
I think you’d have some competition for his affections. 😏
@@Dearmylove_i I know it ;P
@JandJ Hayford I was hypo. I'm now reading Anthony William books as well. Very interesting take on disease.
Take aways:
Vegan diet helpful for period pain (fibre helps)
Vegan diet can be helpful for endometriosis but not in all cases.
Supplementing fish oil/algae oil higher risk of prostate cancer, test DHA and only supplement if low (may prevent Alzheimer’s)
Link between cheese and low testosterone
Erectile disfunction early warning sign for older men for cardiovascular disease
@sharon cheyech Remove animal products? Didn't you hear? They're full of estrogens.
Erectile disjunction is an early warning sign for cardiovascular disease for ALL men, regardless of age.
Vit d yes but not from animals
