I had genetic test done because i am losing my vision. I have Stargardt's. I was told not to take Vit A supplements. I tried WFPB years ago, even attended Las Vegas gatherimg where i met you Chef AJ, Drs G and L. Fabulous gatherimg. After my test...i started listening to other "dotors" and started keto and eventually carnivore diet thinking i could stop my vision loss by eliminating foods high in vit A. 5 years later.....severe diverticulosis, esophigitis and gastritis. 5 months now back to WFBE and my body is healing. I love my food again. I feel so alive not eating animals....both physically and mentally. Thank you for all that you do to help others. I feel stupid.....i had the answer to good health but i listened to "new science " it's anazing how the truth gets twisted and confuses people. I've done my own study....proof what harms and what heals. I never want to experience the determination of my health again. At 59, it was a huge wake up call. ❤
Dr. McDougall is very unique and straightforward. I really appreciate the info he shared on gallbladder and liver. I only heard it once before that the liver is regenerative- so glad he said it too. Thank You Chef A.J.- for your interest and enthusiasm in health. Maria Allen Salem, MA
I am adding comments because it’s important people learn the basics of science so they can understand how the body systems work for keeping people healthy. Here in the first few minutes is the key to find free to access medical publications and even the walk through on how you can access primary source material and check for yourself the claims made about health. I am glad that so much effort is made to clarify technical information for all accessibility.
That’s fantastic! “I don’t want you to believe me, I want you to understand”. So many times he has to keep bringing up “Did you read the primary source material? Look it up.” , then he explains how easy it is. Still no one who disputes ever comes forward with factual primary data to counter. I love that he emphasizes science as how you can understand things, that if you know the science you can determine what is true or false.
Every time I doubt that a plant based diet is the way to go, I listen to you two and get back on track. it's the ONLY thing that has EVER worked for me with my Type 2 Diabetes. I just wish I could stay focused over long periods of time.
My mother had been experiencing pain and found she had gallstones. She had surgery to remove them and was feeling much better, when she got a call from her doctor telling her she had gall bladder cancer. She loved bacon and eggs every morning. She had cut down to one half slice bacon and one egg daily after high cholesterol diagnosis and started taking statins. I was her caretaker for the three years before she passed. I didn’t have the knowledge I have now about fat and junk food. I did make her smoothies with greens and blueberries because I had researched cancer fighting foods. The oncologist said she should eat whatever she wanted, but it didn’t sound right to me. I have now been plant based whole food for six and half years and wish I had the knowledge then that I do now. The digestive system is not able to handle the fat Americans are consuming.
Discovering the plant based way of living ,8 years now ,I feel like I have won the health lottery ,a health millionaire,even better than a ££££ millionaire Good Health is true wealth 🙏
Lipoma's hurt. I knew if I ate large amounts of butter (real butter because I thought it was better) I would have them on my back and the hurt to the touch. Gone within the week when I stopped eatting butter
Ketosis is not a healthy state. It probably temporarily helps with diabetes because people because lose weight at the beginning. Briefly thinking about what ketosis actually is tells us that we are not supposed to remain there. We are able to use ketones as fuel bodies in times of starvation once our liver has depleted all glycogen. However, your brain still needs glucose to run on, which, in the absence of carbohydrates, stresses is the liver because it must make that glucose from protein. The keto diet’s purpose is to fool the body into thinking it’s staving to death so that it kicks in these emergency measures. It puts stress on both the liver and kidneys.
Keto doesn't help diabetes t2, it only removes the trigger. Furthermore they are not looking at their blood-sugar 4 to 12 hours after a meal, that's when the blood-sugar is high due to high fat and also high protein (they stack, because each raise blood-sugar independently from each other, source: Mastering Diabetes. Only when you get rid of the insulin resistance (due to fat buildup in skeletal and muscle cells) can you truly reverse diabetes type 2
I can listen to this doctor all day. He knows science.
Thank you.
I love listening to Dr McDougall makes perfect common sense ♥️

Very helpful Dr. McDougall!! Thank you! Learned tons about the gallbladder I never knew- related to weight loss.

I love Dr McDougall and his fierce amazing passion ❤️🔥 for doing what is true ! Bless him and love to you all!

that’s a tough experience to go through 😢 ❤
ok, so we might decide what diet avoids most health troubles, but what diet or eating habits wards off aging the most?
De McDougall is simply amazing 🎯
doctor and a hero!
‘You shouldn’t eat like a dog or a cat’ 😂 I miss this man already. What a legend.

At 6:00 mark McDougal says, "plant sterols are converted to cholesterol". Am I hearing that correctly?
He says in the sentence before that, that we make our own cholesterol out of plant sterols. Atleast, that's my take from it :).
Yeah, I heard that too.
@CHEF AJ Have a challenge to Dr McDougall, make that video with an hour or so of saying “It is the food!”.
Dr. mcDougall's army: Starchions! (like minions but more starchy).
Come on people! Help me out 😅 ❤ “It’s the food!”
Keto doctors says no starch high fat he said opposite but lots of testimony for diabetes that keto helps confusing
