My niece moved to Paris & she says the gov has strict rules on the food they import & sell. No articual sweeteners anywhere, only fresh meats etc. the interesting thing she told me was the Coca Cola company makes special cola for them w less harmful ingredients. So basically our Gov doesnt care & we drink the bad version here. Sidenote, she says tge Cola there tastes so much better.
Basically, never eat vegetable oils, anything with wheat, corn, soybeans, margarine or processed beyond recognition. Eat grass fed, grass finished beef, free range chicken and eggs, green leafy veggies, real butter, avocado and coconut oil. Stick with low glycemic fruits like berries.
Greetings from India! 🇮🇳 Dentist here. About a year ago, I set began serious research (for self consumption and education) of the published literature on the connection between diet and inflammation, diet and metabolic syndrome, diet and menopause, GI hormones obesity and genetics, obesity and epigenetics, gut microbiome, etc. And I can say unequivocally that you have covered all the bases. *A succinct and polished presentation if ever there was one!* 👌🏽👌🏽👏🏾👏🏾 And please *_do not_* let anyone tell you (like I think someone did in this live video) that you are 'fear mongering' -- that is outright nonsense! Keep up the good work.💐 I am a new, and happy, subber!

My son suffered from severe eczema for years. We spent hours visiting dermatologists, sun tanning, trying creams, etc. We discovered food issues only after a functional medicine M.D. recommended a food sensitivity test. My son reacts to egg whites, yeast, onion, oats, and several other foods. As long as these are eliminated from his diet, his skin is flawless and he doesn’t itch. I believe in food sensitivity tests.
Thank you for posting! I have bad eczema inside my elbows that comes and goes. I’m vegan 🌱 no processed foods except I love pasta once a week and pizza once a week… interesting! May have to look at food allergies
I had those food sensitivities and allergies develop with peri menopause. Since it was in the middle of covid and no allergen it’s was open, my dr explained how to do the elimination diet and what signals and symptoms to look for in mild sensitivities up to major allergies. It’s been very helpful as now I no longer have to be afraid of new food situations. After seeing her, I found lots of help on Pinterest and here on TH-cam. It’s not really for life threatening situations, but helps me not to get to that point.
Something a lot of people mistake for a gluten sensitivity is the way wheat is processed, white or whole. In North America farmers can spray a desiccant on the crops before harvest to dry them out so they don't mold while in storage. This desiccant is highly toxic to us and not allowed in Europe. This is why many people who think they have a gluten sensitivity can travel to Europe and eat all the bread and pasta and not have any GI issues. If you have methylation issues and don't detox well, you're more likely going to suffer. I am in this boat. I was recently in Turkey and experienced this first hand. I was able to eat so many things I simply can't in Canada without any GI issues. The things companies are allowed to put in our food in North America is shocking.
Stopped, whit, everything gluten ,sugger artificial suger , and starch, eating low-carb, start to move, and my fibromya is gone, ton of energy, and my skin looks so good. Never going back ❤
My workout partner both 56while doing 4-6 miles of cardio were just discussing why is seems we can't lose weight!! This was right on time! I've shared w her! Thank you thank you thank you! The information you are providing matters. Us Menopausal ladies are an underserved and misunderstood community!
I found you recently and SO glad I did! Sharing facts: 58, full blown menopause, sweats, irritable, finger thing, poor sleep, appetite off, slight vertigo (is that a thing?) dry skin, slightly thin hair etc…. Good: strength training 4x week, cardio 4 x week. Thank you for this video. Will look into your diet. 🧡
Watching this from Trinidad 🇹🇹 Thank you for this great unfo. This is NOT fear mongering. This is TRUTH AND FACTS, which the pharmaceutical company's that makes $ off us dying, don't want us to know. THANK YOU DOC. BE WELL
After becoming gluten, soy and lactose sensitive I whole heartedly believe everything your saying is definitely the true facts! Thank You for sharing this information! Keep it up! I've changed to an organic clean eating diet without gluten soy and minimal dairy, lean meats, low carb veggies, (and very minimal sugar amounts) that are all organically grown. I take a probiotic very regularly and vitamin supplements and feel like a very healthy person.
I’m glad I’m watching this video again. Just reminds me that I need to go low carb. That’s where I lost all my weight from the beginning 80 pounds later. Now 40 more to go. Thank you for this information
I follow some pretty smart (trained) health gurus and other sources that say farmed fish is inflammatory, that our fish for a healthy lifestyle and diet should be wild caught. If I can't find wild caught then I don't buy. Certain markets are getting better at recognizing this and meeting consumer demand for wild caught sources of fish. Thank goodness for Costco
Since my last post - just to update I am now on day 11 of the diet and have now lost another two and a half pounds which makes a total of seven and a half pounds! The 8 hour window isn’t easy but the recipes are delicious and far nicer than the bland food I was eating before whilst loosing nothing for months! I love it!!
I found you while I was looking for information about anti-inflammation. I had a PET scan recently and I lit up like a Christmas tree with inflammation. I have to believe I can reverse my situation.
Not many people know or talk about the chemicals in so called healthy foods like spinach, broccoli etc (salycilates) nuts, meats, cocao (amines) and Glutamates! Natural is NOT always better! Some people get headaches from amines, talking fast, dizziness, even seizures from salicylates just as in nitrates xx The most important thing for all of us to remember is THERE IS NO ONE DIET THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE...TRUST YOUR INTUITION XX It is great though to see an M.D talking about nutrition - Thankyou 💖
This was AWESOME. I LOVE THIS I’m so grateful to have found your Chanel. I had a partial hysterectomy 3 years ago. It sent me STRAIGHT into menopause even though I was advised it would not. I struggled terribly and was embarrassed to say anything as I was only 42 and feeling/experiencing things I had NEVER. Finally i went to a NEW GYN that understood what I was going through and started me on my better health journey. I’m doing SO MUCH better now thanks to him, prayer and videos Like this.. my gut health is better , I’m loosing weight,,, And my hormones are back on track 💪🏾💪🏾 I am now following you … this is awesome 👏🏾
Hang in there girl. You are not crazy or alone. It was Such a difficult time in my life. On top of all the crazy I had just lost my Mother a few months before the surgery,,,so I didn’t have a trusted female I felt confident enough to share what I was feeling… I COMPLETELY understand what your going through. Talk to your GYN and hopefully you can find another female who has had the same surgery. I will tell you since working out, eating healthy and the help of my GYN …. Got me back on track. I still struggle with a bit of sleeplessness ,,, but it’s NOTHING like it was. I’m feeling better and I have much MORE ENERGY than Ive ever had . Tell your GYN what’s happening and get counseling if you can. Your insurance will pay for it. It’s important not to silently suffer. I’ll be praying for you my sister🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 You will get through this… 💪🏾💪🏾 You are stronger than you think 😘😘
The same happened to me I had a complete hysterectomy, was never told what to do never given any duggestions about food or diet no hormone treatments or what to take naturally. I was never told I had to still see a gynecologist so I have not seen one since the Hysterectomy. I have been sufering all these years. I just turn 70 and I am still having issues! I get up in the night drench in sweat.I also had my gall bladder removed so now I have digestive issues, plus high blood sugar issues too. I need some help
@@NansGlobalKitchen I’m so sorry you’re still going through it. it’s just awful that they don’t tell us what could happen even if it dose not happen to ALL. I was hit from left field …. My poor family didn’t know what the heck was happening to me. Thank God my husband and kids are patient and is supporting me through this. Like I said, I’m finally doing much better. I still sleep hot but at least getting rest even if I wake up drenched. I am also feeling normal again and not like a raging Lunatic🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 For high blood sugar you can take Berberine. It’s Natural but all brands are not created equal. Thorne is one of the best brands. You can order on Amazon. My doctor also put me on the lowest grade of Prozac. When he first suggested it I cried … because I grew up ignorant to the stigmas given to people who use it. I have to say…. IT IS A GAME CHANGER. I feel much more normal…. My family noticed the difference right away. I continue to research Natural ways to get my health on track and so far these things are working. I am even down 43 lbs since January 🙌🏾🙌🏾. The intermittent fasting, healthy eating and walking daily is helping me to take back mr life. I wish you all the Best my dear. I’ll whisper a prayer for you . 😘😘 be well
I've become addicted to your channel...your videos are playing in my headphones all day as I go about my day especially when I workout..I'm going through perimenopause and I can't believe your generosity in sharing all this information for free with us.. thank you
Sorry this is so long..but I hope my story will help someone else...My husband and I are constantly finding out more and more that our bodies can't tolerate as we get older. Little did I know that you can develop allergies and not always born with them. My struggle started after I got my tubes tied after my second child. It started with severe abdominal pain with such severe diarrhea that I had to be put on in IV because I was so dehydrated I couldn't hardly even walk...they did test after test checked all my organs, gallbladder, ect..and long story short..it was eggs!! I had eaten eggs my whole life, never had a problem ..OMG..was I ever glad I figured that out on my own...next was severe headaches...again..went to doctors..test after test..they couldn't find anything..told me I was depressed..gave me anti-depressents...I told them NO..and long story short again..It was bananas!! Then from there I started journaling everything I ate and when I got a headache I looked back and boom!! Here is my list I found out was causing them....banana's, cinnamon, paprika, msg's, certain kinds of olive oils, soy anything, spices, red apples,(I can eat granny smiths) gluten, most wines, beer, and alcohol, smelly things like candles, deodorants, shampoo's, perfumes, colognes, detergents, (I can only use ALL free, fragrance free dryer sheets and no liquid softners at all!!) Bleach and chlorine are major triggers.(can't even have chlorinated water or Ice made with it) I now take a half of a Benadryl whenever I feel one coming on and it takes it away. I thought my food problems were over...but no...I started feeling super lethargic in my 30's and just couldn't function somedays...I was told I was Hypoglycemic(low blood sugar) so I gave up sugar started feeling a little better but still wasn't quiet right..long story short...it was gluten!! Again was so happy when I figured that out..I also found out that I was born with a prolapsed valve and some tiredness was coming from that...but nothing like what the gluten was doing...Other super weird allergies are blueberries and jalapenos....I don't know how or why but if I eat them I get a pain in my groan area and literally can't walk. I had help from a awesome lady who I was working for at the time who just happened to have a husband who had several food allergies and had gone to many many food allergy specialist all over the country and she taught me a really cool trick..she could tell from just looking at me and seeing the super dark circles around my eyes and seeing me walk all stooped over that I was having a food sensitivity issue and asked me if I had eaten anything out of the ordinary and at that time it just happened to be I had been making blueberry smoothies..(trying to be healthy) and so she actually had some in her fridge and she told me to stand still, put my hands in front of my chest palms up, put my head down and close my eyes.( I was like..ummm..okay??) Honest to God!! the next thing I remember is her husband catching me as I was falling over backwards!!! When she put those blueberries in my palms my body rejected them so badly it literally pushed me backwards trying to get away from them..the most bizarre feeling I had ever felt!!! That was life changing to me!! I picked her brain for the longest time and learned so much about what food allergies can do to you...I have helped countless people including my brother in law..they told him with his migraines was caused from missing a blood vessel in his neck and had him on all kinds of meds..NOPE..he was allergic to peanuts! My boys..my oldest can't eat pork he gets migrains..my youngest can't eat jalapenos..he can't move his right wrist, they tried to him he had gout...Nope!! My husband...anything corn!! His feet and legs swell up and his heart freaks out...dairy instantly plugs his nose up...I could go on and on...but I'm telling you all this in hopes it will help someone else find the correlation with maybe something that you've been having trouble with and a certain food. God Bless!!!
Whoa… fear mongering, I can’t believe someone would say that. 🤦♀️ And yes, seed oils (aka canola and other vegetable oils) are also inflammatory. Thank you for sharing this education. Sadly so many don’t want to hear it. They want a pill to fix things rather than putting in the work. Not everyone, of course but so many.
Thank you for consistently speaking to women's health, especially menopause. The conversation is egregiously omitted in the world of medicine. Yet wow - let's count the studies aimed at erectile disfunction! How can anyone argue with any of the information you are providing? Science deniers baffle me.
48 female lost 200 pounds naturally via cal deficit still need to lose 30 had a hysterectomy kept 1 ovary last year maintaining loss via calorie restriction & exercise very hard to lose any keep losing n gaining the same 4 pounds but having awful bloating! I’m constantly painful bloating cannot figure out why … or pinpoint which foods …Ty for this 💕 I eat extremely basic usually 1 ingredient foods I’m so lost as to the cause I really think it has to be food.
I have so much gratitude for your willingness to share based on you education, experience, and passions. I am a women's health NP in an oncology setting and have found your videos so valuable. Thank you! To borrow from Brene Brown please continue to be "awkward, brave and kind" as your content is important. (: Robin.
I just found you online and I am trying to consume all of this amazing info as quickly as I can! You've already inspired me to make changes even though I'm traveling full time rn in Europe. I MUST get back on HRT. I stupidly weaned myself off of it because my PCP had concerns about cancer. Also, it was really expensive! (more than $100/3 months thru CostPlusDrugs) But now I see that my doctor was working with old, debunked information. I'm going to get back on HRT as soon as I can get an Rx filled overseas. I'm 65, in good health, yoga 6x/week, love to cycle and swim, and want to delay the "falling down" stage of life (as I call it) for as long as possible. Side notes: 1. You look amazing. Don't apologize for your body. :) 2. The view from your house is gorgeous! 3. REX!!! Totes adorbs.
That person who said you were fear mongering is likely a troll for the food industry making unhealthy, addictive foods that are killing people.. Karma to them. You look AMAZING! Whatever you're doing, I'm on it. 🎉🙏
Have you ever studied oxalates. I started to eat a so called healthy diet and became terribly sick. After weeks of research oxalates were the culprit. Anything you can share is greatly appreciated.
I love what you have to say and think it’s true and relevant. Humbly, 💜 I wish your videos were shorter and would cut to the chase a little more quickly. I don’t mean to be negative or gripe. It’s just my personal opinion.
I would love to see a "day in the life" vlog style video from you. You are so fun and inspiring and have a great sense of humor and I'd love to just be a fly on the wall for a day and see how you make your daily choices. Thank you! (I'm 40 and trying to "prep" my body for menopause. I keep hearing horror stories.😬)

I’m a newly diagnosed DM, hypothyroid, arthritic issues. My PCP messaged me and said to follow a low cholesterol and low carb diet. My Endocrinologist gave a prescription for metformin and said I should lose a few pounds. I’m overwhelmed to say the least. I’m trying to learn as much as I can , but I’m afraid to eat the things that will raise my sugar levels more….😢
👋 I eat grass fed beef - goat cheese - onions & garlic - eggs - bacon - kefir. I do 18/6 feasted & I move my bod & do strength training with bands at home. I’m feeling & looking fantastic
I’m in the UK, 50 years old and could always lose weight in the past. I go to the gym 5 times a week and walk daily and always try to eat healthily. I am getting married on the 9 July and just can’t loose any weight which is especially around my stomach. I joined the Galveston diet 5 days ago and have lost 5 pounds! I eat in the 8 hours and although I’m a picky eater the recipes are delicious and I feel great!
I have always followed a whole foods type diet, never really eating junk. I avoid seed oils like the plague because they are so inflammatory and even though I don't have any gluten problem I'm just not super interested in bread or pasta so I've never really eaten it. No processed packaged convenience foods or crackers or anything like that. I haven't eaten margarine since the '80s when my mother fed me gold & soft. This year at age 50 I really started concentrating on getting lots of protein at every meal when I realized I had been basically under eating for my entire life. I eat all forms of protein, meat eggs fish shellfish chicken. Lots of olive oil and butter. I eat some rice and I eat some fruit and veggies but every meal focuses primarily on protein. On the rare occasion I want a treat I will have a damn ice cream cone because it gives me no issues and I want to live my life without being afraid of food. Anyway within a matter of weeks a whole slew of issues completely cleared up. Bleeding gums, incredibly painful periods, anxiety, sore joints, constipation, in total about eight things went away or improved in a matter of probably three weeks. I'm finally able to build muscle at the gym despite having lifted weights since age 16. I've doubled my calories and if I really concentrate on getting that protein in I lose weight. I'm almost 51 and my periods are still 29 days apart like clockwork. I found a supplement that completely got rid of all my occasional night time hot flashes so I feel like a new person. I'm no longer afraid to get old. I'm not here to argue with anyone I'm just telling you my experience, good luck everybody! 🩷
Googled it (poop): These organic solids consist of: 25-54% bacterial biomass, 2-25% protein or nitrogenous matter, 25% carbohydrate or undigested plant matter and 2-15% fat. Protein and fat come from the colon due to secretion, epithelial shedding and gut bacterial action.
Ground and fresh ginger are my best friends! Everyone lauds turmeric but i turn into a zombie when i use that product. Mustard powder is another of my allies. I have had to eliminate dairy, vegetable oil, white flour. Most pork products. I am pushing 61 have been working out pretty steady for 2 years + now and I'm seeing my certain areas of fat storage around my ab area. I am working on my nutrition and I have been adding better things in. If I'm doing any sweetners brown sugar in baking, real maple syrup and raw honey. I feel like I'm intoxicated on most of the sweetners so i just leave them alone. I LOVE fresh blueberries and a variety of fresh fruits just have to be mindful as to what i eat them with due to sugar crashes. And yes I do add FRESH ground flaxseed and chia seeds to my baking. Thank you for sharing your information and knowledge. I have found some answers to some of my issues.
Im 55 in November. Had digestive issues from birth and saw doctor at 17, swallowed pill camera. Diagnosis: slow digestive system Resolve: more fiber Outcome: worse 2009 age 39 saw inside slaughterhouse. Stopped consuming animals and their byproducts. Outcome: vegan with supplements B12 and D3 corrected my system. I never had a slow digestive system. Lost total of 81 pounds once removing dairy and eggs from a vegetarian diet.
Just pre ordered your new book 📚 on menopause! Still my own advocate …..fighting for a decade and still going. I aint taken drs rejecting me …..I have almost every menopause symptom in the book ……electrical shocks , tingly fingers , getting dry everywhere, cold and hot as if thyroid is off but on meds 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️, itching skin, muscle cramps though I take loads of magnesium 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️, 30 plus pounds extra in weight gain HAVENT CHANGED ANYTHING……😢😢😢……INSOMNIA, itching ears , bleeding gums every night I brush my teeth, more cavities 🤦♀️🤦♀️, seeing my dental hygienist I think every 3 months then every 6 months what it use to be. Had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out in perimenopause. Cavities popping up like crazy. Bladder problems driving me crazy . 🤯🤯🤯
Adding more protein has hugely helped my blood sugar swings. Was able to fast almost 10 hrs for blood work today . Couldn’t do that in January. My readings for diabetes was high in January yet that still didn’t convince my dr. I couldn’t fast then do to blood sugar swings. Protein has helped , blood sugar still goes up if I have a small cheat.
I think a glass of wine per night is still extremely excessive because ultimately alcohol is a sugar, it will raise the blood glucose and honestly I think a glass per week is safer than a glass per night.
The process of making alcohol changes sugar into alcohol. Red wine and champagne have 1.6 sugar in a bottle! Wine actually lowers glucose. The issues with wine are: 1) the alcohol is an inflammatory substance to the gut lining and 2) your metabolism burns alcohol first, before glucose and protein. So, if you have much wine, any calories you consume will be stored as fat.
Sufferer of lifelong endometriosis. Post menopause I have been having terrible joint pains, insane weight gain…and took your inflammation quiz (failed only because it was about last 24 hours and last 24 hours I was ‘whatever’ with my food intake) so all in all a disaster. My sister and friend ( same symptoms as me) independently sent me your link on TikTok. I took it as a sign, subscribed and bought your Galveston diet book on kindle. However I have one niggling doubt ‘ is this all marketing strategy to sell your book and services ‘. I bring this up only because of that comment about fear mongering .
I am between keto, carnivore, with vegetables and berries . Processed foods out. Good healthy fats , seeds and nuts. Protein powders for smoothies. With ground flax, chia and psyhillum husk ? For Fiber.
Well now on day 12 on the diet and just can’t believe I have lost ten pounds! I couldn’t loose one pound even though I ate healthily for many months and went to the gym five times a week and walked daily. I’m getting married in 6 weeks and had lost all hope of loosing anything! It’s not easy but I love the healthy food, feel in control with the 8 hour window and am so thankful I found this diet. The fat around my middle was really getting me down and although I lost weight in the past I was 13 stone 8 and just couldn’t loose anything. Recipes are so delicious and easy to prepare. It is a way of life but I would recommend to anyone 😊
76 menopausal, given pretty much a terminal diagnosis....cholesterol disease..... Now I see your videos.... Very interesting.... Thanks I will take them under advisement.....
It's seems some breakfast cereals really cause me a lot of discomfort. Other breads are fine if they are like a true whole wheat. I am going low carb and intermittent fasting 18:6 so am feeling a lot better!
I greatly appreciate all that you do to keep us informed and educated. But there is so much conflicting information. I’m speaking of other physicians on TH-cam, etc that promote keto and eating all the bacon and meats like that. How are we supposed to know what is right and what is wrong?
Can you explain Lymphedema,causing Fatigue tiredness sleepiness, groggy FOGGY BRAIN 🧠, & inflammation over general body. Similar to symptoms of FIBROMYALGIA Syndrome . Think about it. Can you explain?
Thank you for all the work you do... for providing excellent essential information helping me to care for my health better. Your videos are packed with so much information. Am grateful to have discovered your channel.
Thank you so much for all of your great information. And I can't believe the haters are saying you don't look very good. I'm in my 40s and have kids and think you look fantastic! You're a great role model for thriving in this time of life.
The more I research, the more I'm coming to understand that it's not our food, it's a lack of the diverse microbiome needed to keep our bodies functioning correctly. We are experiencing an extinction of the gut bacteria needed to help break our food down.
Is honey ok? I like plain greek yogurt with berries and a drizzle of local honey. Also a teaspoon in hot tea with a little lemon is delicious. I'm trying to limit white sugar. Thank you!

Good morning. I found your page, and I’ve been watching your videos; they are very informative. In 2011 I was diagnosed w celiac. In 2016 i finished menopause. Since then I’ve developed more food allergies. I pay attention to what I eat and what causes a distended stomach and pain. My issue is that my skin bruises like an 80 year old and my skin is thin. I eat organic foods as much as possible, I grow my own veggies and I eat meat. I supplement w vitamins and probiotics. None of my doctors have been able to figure out what vitamins I’m lacking in. The celiac has been all my life but wasn’t diagnosed until I was 49. Everything seemed to happen all at once during menopause, and yes…my belly fat and weight has increased during Covid. I don’t eat wheat products or cow’s milk products ( I do eat goats cheese sparingly). I have always been very aware of being food conscious. I can’t figure out what I should do to up my metabolism. I can’t help but think that it’s all correlated together.
Unfortunately, if you are not already a patient, I cannot offer you individualized advice, everyone is different. I do recommend The Galveston Diet and hope that it can help. I would also consult with a Registered Dietician.
Stevia does not create an insulin response in me. I used a blood glucose monitor and checked before and after an then every half hour for 3 hours. You need to check your own response to national sweeteners. The other ‘safe’ ones like monkfruit ad erythritol I absolutely had a blood sugar spike.
My niece moved to Paris & she says the gov has strict rules on the food they import & sell. No articual sweeteners anywhere, only fresh meats etc. the interesting thing she told me was the Coca Cola company makes special cola for them w less harmful ingredients. So basically our Gov doesnt care & we drink the bad version here. Sidenote, she says tge Cola there tastes so much better.
I believe that! U.S. allows ingredients that other countries ban from food, make-up, shampoo etc.
Haters gonna hate! You look fantastic!
France has the strictest rules going where food additives etc are concerned.
Basically, never eat vegetable oils, anything with wheat, corn, soybeans, margarine or processed beyond recognition. Eat grass fed, grass finished beef, free range chicken and eggs, green leafy veggies, real butter, avocado and coconut oil. Stick with low glycemic fruits like berries.
And USA dairy milk...
Me too!
I don’t drink milk but do like kefir and Parmesan cheese for calcium without sugar
@@lynnsalberg5647cheese in general is horrible for digestion and inflammation. It's not good for you.
no one should be eating beef...it causes colon cancer and really not good for you.

My son suffered from severe eczema for years. We spent hours visiting dermatologists, sun tanning, trying creams, etc. We discovered food issues only after a functional medicine M.D. recommended a food sensitivity test. My son reacts to egg whites, yeast, onion, oats, and several other foods. As long as these are eliminated from his diet, his skin is flawless and he doesn’t itch. I believe in food sensitivity tests.
How do you get a food sensitivity test done? I have same issue as your son.
Interesting, those are almost the same food sensitivity as me. you would need to go to a functional medicine doctor to get these tests done
Thank you for posting! I have bad eczema inside my elbows that comes and goes. I’m vegan 🌱 no processed foods except I love pasta once a week and pizza once a week… interesting! May have to look at food allergies
I think her point was that you could've figured that out on your own had you just tried the elimination diet as well.
I had those food sensitivities and allergies develop with peri menopause. Since it was in the middle of covid and no allergen it’s was open, my dr explained how to do the elimination diet and what signals and symptoms to look for in mild sensitivities up to major allergies. It’s been very helpful as now I no longer have to be afraid of new food situations. After seeing her, I found lots of help on Pinterest and here on TH-cam. It’s not really for life threatening situations, but helps me not to get to that point.
Something a lot of people mistake for a gluten sensitivity is the way wheat is processed, white or whole. In North America farmers can spray a desiccant on the crops before harvest to dry them out so they don't mold while in storage. This desiccant is highly toxic to us and not allowed in Europe. This is why many people who think they have a gluten sensitivity can travel to Europe and eat all the bread and pasta and not have any GI issues. If you have methylation issues and don't detox well, you're more likely going to suffer. I am in this boat. I was recently in Turkey and experienced this first hand. I was able to eat so many things I simply can't in Canada without any GI issues. The things companies are allowed to put in our food in North America is shocking.
Stopped, whit, everything gluten ,sugger artificial suger , and starch, eating low-carb, start to move, and my fibromya is gone, ton of energy, and my skin looks so good. Never going back ❤

I am past menopause and in my early 70's but the information you give regarding inflammation and the Galveston Diet are much appreciated.
It’s refreshing to hear someone get it right on processed flour versus whole wheat and gluten issues versus stripped flour plus phosphate issues.
My workout partner both 56while doing 4-6 miles of cardio were just discussing why is seems we can't lose weight!! This was right on time! I've shared w her! Thank you thank you thank you! The information you are providing matters. Us Menopausal ladies are an underserved and misunderstood community!
Thanks for sharing!!
I found you recently and SO glad I did! Sharing facts: 58, full blown menopause, sweats, irritable, finger thing, poor sleep, appetite off, slight vertigo (is that a thing?) dry skin, slightly thin hair etc….
Good: strength training 4x week, cardio 4 x week.
Thank you for this video. Will look into your diet. 🧡
Thank you! You can find it here www.galvestondiet.com
Oh yes, vertigo is very definitely a thing, sigh
Seed oils , Sugar , Many grains ( due to spraying crops just before harvest ), Coffee , Alcohol
You should also be Dry Brushing which helps stimulate the lymphatic system releasing toxins.
Thanks for the reminder!
Watching this from Trinidad 🇹🇹
Thank you for this great unfo. This is NOT fear mongering. This is TRUTH AND FACTS, which the pharmaceutical company's that makes $ off us dying, don't want us to know. THANK YOU DOC. BE WELL
You are so welcome!
nightshade foods, i.e. peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, potatoes. Additionally, Sugar, alcohol, wheat, processed foods and fried food.
After becoming gluten, soy and lactose sensitive I whole heartedly believe everything your saying is definitely the true facts! Thank You for sharing this information! Keep it up! I've changed to an organic clean eating diet without gluten soy and minimal dairy, lean meats, low carb veggies, (and very minimal sugar amounts) that are all organically grown. I take a probiotic very regularly and vitamin supplements and feel like a very healthy person.
I’m glad I’m watching this video again. Just reminds me that I need to go low carb. That’s where I lost all my weight from the beginning 80 pounds later. Now 40 more to go. Thank you for this information
Wow, I can not believe someone commented she's fear-mongering...wow!!!! They must eat cupcakes 🧁 for breakfast!!
I can’t believe they said should consult with a PHD. She is an MD, I think she knows how to research!
Lol Omgness I’m crying laughing lol
Lol
I follow some pretty smart (trained) health gurus and other sources that say farmed fish is inflammatory, that our fish for a healthy lifestyle and diet should be wild caught. If I can't find wild caught then I don't buy. Certain markets are getting better at recognizing this and meeting consumer demand for wild caught sources of fish. Thank goodness for Costco
Since my last post - just to update I am now on day 11 of the diet and have now lost another two and a half pounds which makes a total of seven and a half pounds!
The 8 hour window isn’t easy but the recipes are delicious and far nicer than the bland food I was eating before whilst loosing nothing for months! I love it!!
You got this! Keep it up!
what diet are you on? thank you!

I found you while I was looking for information about anti-inflammation. I had a PET scan recently and I lit up like a Christmas tree with inflammation. I have to believe I can reverse my situation.
You can!
Not many people know or talk about the chemicals in so called healthy foods like spinach, broccoli etc (salycilates) nuts, meats, cocao (amines) and Glutamates! Natural is NOT always better! Some people get headaches from amines, talking fast, dizziness, even seizures from salicylates just as in nitrates xx
The most important thing for all of us to remember is THERE IS NO ONE DIET THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE...TRUST YOUR INTUITION XX It is great though to see an M.D talking about nutrition - Thankyou 💖
You're so welcome!
This was AWESOME. I LOVE THIS
I’m so grateful to have found your Chanel.
I had a partial hysterectomy 3 years ago. It sent me STRAIGHT into menopause even though I was advised it would not. I struggled terribly and was embarrassed to say anything as I was only 42 and feeling/experiencing things I had NEVER.
Finally i went to a NEW GYN that understood what I was going through and started me on my better health journey. I’m doing SO MUCH better now thanks to him, prayer and videos Like this..
my gut health is better , I’m loosing weight,,, And my hormones are back on track 💪🏾💪🏾
I am now following you … this is awesome 👏🏾
I am so glad it was helpful!
I’m in tears reading this because I’m going through it now. I’m so happy for you that you are doing better!
Hang in there girl. You are not crazy or alone. It was Such a difficult time in my life. On top of all the crazy I had just lost my Mother a few months before the surgery,,,so I didn’t have a trusted female I felt confident enough to share what I was feeling…
I COMPLETELY understand what your going through. Talk to your GYN and hopefully you can find another female who has had the same surgery. I will tell you since working out, eating healthy and the help of my GYN …. Got me back on track.
I still struggle with a bit of sleeplessness ,,, but it’s NOTHING like it was. I’m feeling better and I have much MORE ENERGY than Ive ever had . Tell your GYN what’s happening and get counseling if you can. Your insurance will pay for it. It’s important not to silently suffer.
I’ll be praying for you my sister🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
You will get through this… 💪🏾💪🏾
You are stronger than you think 😘😘
The same happened to me I had a complete hysterectomy, was never told what to do never given any duggestions about food or diet no hormone treatments or what to take naturally. I was never told I had to still see a gynecologist so I have not seen one since the Hysterectomy. I have been sufering all these years. I just turn 70 and I am still having issues! I get up in the night drench in sweat.I also had my gall bladder removed so now I have digestive issues, plus high blood sugar issues too. I need some help
@@NansGlobalKitchen I’m so sorry you’re still going through it. it’s just awful that they don’t tell us what could happen even if it dose not happen to ALL. I was hit from left field …. My poor family didn’t know what the heck was happening to me. Thank God my husband and kids are patient and is supporting me through this. Like I said, I’m finally doing much better. I still sleep hot but at least getting rest even if I wake up drenched. I am also feeling normal again and not like a raging Lunatic🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
For high blood sugar you can take Berberine. It’s Natural but all brands are not created equal. Thorne is one of the best brands. You can order on Amazon. My doctor also put me on the lowest grade of Prozac. When he first suggested it I cried … because I grew up ignorant to the stigmas given to people who use it. I have to say…. IT IS A GAME CHANGER. I feel much more normal….
My family noticed the difference right away. I continue to research Natural ways to get my health on track and so far these things are working. I am even down 43 lbs since January 🙌🏾🙌🏾. The intermittent fasting, healthy eating and walking daily is helping me to take back mr life.
I wish you all the Best my dear. I’ll whisper a prayer for you . 😘😘 be well
I absolutely feel love towards you for helping us out. I am struggling a bit. So grateful I was led to you! Blessings 🙏🏽❤️
Me too. She's quite unique
Struggling along too. She’s a fountain of info and thru her Instagram and website as well as here has helped me find lots of helpful information
I've become addicted to your channel...your videos are playing in my headphones all day as I go about my day especially when I workout..I'm going through perimenopause and I can't believe your generosity in sharing all this information for free with us.. thank you
Sorry this is so long..but I hope my story will help someone else...My husband and I are constantly finding out more and more that our bodies can't tolerate as we get older. Little did I know that you can develop allergies and not always born with them. My struggle started after I got my tubes tied after my second child. It started with severe abdominal pain with such severe diarrhea that I had to be put on in IV because I was so dehydrated I couldn't hardly even walk...they did test after test checked all my organs, gallbladder, ect..and long story short..it was eggs!! I had eaten eggs my whole life, never had a problem ..OMG..was I ever glad I figured that out on my own...next was severe headaches...again..went to doctors..test after test..they couldn't find anything..told me I was depressed..gave me anti-depressents...I told them NO..and long story short again..It was bananas!! Then from there I started journaling everything I ate and when I got a headache I looked back and boom!! Here is my list I found out was causing them....banana's, cinnamon, paprika, msg's, certain kinds of olive oils, soy anything, spices, red apples,(I can eat granny smiths) gluten, most wines, beer, and alcohol, smelly things like candles, deodorants, shampoo's, perfumes, colognes, detergents, (I can only use ALL free, fragrance free dryer sheets and no liquid softners at all!!) Bleach and chlorine are major triggers.(can't even have chlorinated water or Ice made with it) I now take a half of a Benadryl whenever I feel one coming on and it takes it away. I thought my food problems were over...but no...I started feeling super lethargic in my 30's and just couldn't function somedays...I was told I was Hypoglycemic(low blood sugar) so I gave up sugar started feeling a little better but still wasn't quiet right..long story short...it was gluten!! Again was so happy when I figured that out..I also found out that I was born with a prolapsed valve and some tiredness was coming from that...but nothing like what the gluten was doing...Other super weird allergies are blueberries and jalapenos....I don't know how or why but if I eat them I get a pain in my groan area and literally can't walk. I had help from a awesome lady who I was working for at the time who just happened to have a husband who had several food allergies and had gone to many many food allergy specialist all over the country and she taught me a really cool trick..she could tell from just looking at me and seeing the super dark circles around my eyes and seeing me walk all stooped over that I was having a food sensitivity issue and asked me if I had eaten anything out of the ordinary and at that time it just happened to be I had been making blueberry smoothies..(trying to be healthy) and so she actually had some in her fridge and she told me to stand still, put my hands in front of my chest palms up, put my head down and close my eyes.( I was like..ummm..okay??) Honest to God!! the next thing I remember is her husband catching me as I was falling over backwards!!! When she put those blueberries in my palms my body rejected them so badly it literally pushed me backwards trying to get away from them..the most bizarre feeling I had ever felt!!! That was life changing to me!! I picked her brain for the longest time and learned so much about what food allergies can do to you...I have helped countless people including my brother in law..they told him with his migraines was caused from missing a blood vessel in his neck and had him on all kinds of meds..NOPE..he was allergic to peanuts! My boys..my oldest can't eat pork he gets migrains..my youngest can't eat jalapenos..he can't move his right wrist, they tried to him he had gout...Nope!! My husband...anything corn!! His feet and legs swell up and his heart freaks out...dairy instantly plugs his nose up...I could go on and on...but I'm telling you all this in hopes it will help someone else find the correlation with maybe something that you've been having trouble with and a certain food. God Bless!!!
I am menopausal and have rheumatoid arthritis. I am always open to suggestions to reduce inflammation. Thank you for you channel
Best of luck! Happy to help
Me too, dear. Arthritis is not fun.☹️
You are a God send. I am 59 and just joined the Galveston diet.
Welcome! Good luck on your journey. We are here for you!
Whoa… fear mongering, I can’t believe someone would say that. 🤦♀️ And yes, seed oils (aka canola and other vegetable oils) are also inflammatory. Thank you for sharing this education. Sadly so many don’t want to hear it. They want a pill to fix things rather than putting in the work. Not everyone, of course but so many.
Thank you, Krista!
Humans must choose between discipline or regret and most pick the latter 🤷♀️
Thank you for consistently speaking to women's health, especially menopause. The conversation is egregiously omitted in the world of medicine. Yet wow - let's count the studies aimed at erectile disfunction!
How can anyone argue with any of the information you are providing? Science deniers baffle me.
Exactly. She is a wonderful advocate how fortunate are we. I appreciate your comment. Blessings ❤️
48 female lost 200 pounds naturally via cal deficit still need to lose 30 had a hysterectomy kept 1 ovary last year maintaining loss via calorie restriction & exercise very hard to lose any keep losing n gaining the same 4 pounds but having awful bloating! I’m constantly painful bloating cannot figure out why … or pinpoint which foods …Ty for this 💕 I eat extremely basic usually 1 ingredient foods I’m so lost as to the cause I really think it has to be food.
I have so much gratitude for your willingness to share based on you education, experience, and passions. I am a women's health NP in an oncology setting and have found your videos so valuable.

No Doctor. I am a normal 53 post menopausal with some belly fat.
You look fantastic!
I just found you online and I am trying to consume all of this amazing info as quickly as I can! You've already inspired me to make changes even though I'm traveling full time rn in Europe. I MUST get back on HRT. I stupidly weaned myself off of it because my PCP had concerns about cancer. Also, it was really expensive! (more than $100/3 months thru CostPlusDrugs) But now I see that my doctor was working with old, debunked information. I'm going to get back on HRT as soon as I can get an Rx filled overseas. I'm 65, in good health, yoga 6x/week, love to cycle and swim, and want to delay the "falling down" stage of life (as I call it) for as long as possible. Side notes: 1. You look amazing. Don't apologize for your body. :) 2. The view from your house is gorgeous! 3. REX!!! Totes adorbs.
The more I don’t eat the bad the better I feel ! I think every year or so I have to look at my food and how it affects my mood and body
That person who said you were fear mongering is likely a troll for the food industry making unhealthy, addictive foods that are killing people.. Karma to them. You look AMAZING! Whatever you're doing, I'm on it. 🎉🙏
Carbohydrate , pasta , bread ,patota ,proses food,sugar wine,beer,

Have you ever studied oxalates. I started to eat a so called healthy diet and became terribly sick. After weeks of research oxalates were the culprit. Anything you can share is greatly appreciated.
I love what you have to say and think it’s true and relevant. Humbly, 💜 I wish your videos were shorter and would cut to the chase a little more quickly. I don’t mean to be negative or gripe. It’s just my personal opinion.

I would love to see a "day in the life" vlog style video from you. You are so fun and inspiring and have a great sense of humor and I'd love to just be a fly on the wall for a day and see how you make your daily choices. Thank you!

I’m a newly diagnosed DM, hypothyroid, arthritic issues. My PCP messaged me and said to follow a low cholesterol and low carb diet. My Endocrinologist gave a prescription for metformin and said I should lose a few pounds. I’m overwhelmed to say the least. I’m trying to learn as much as I can , but I’m afraid to eat the things that will raise my sugar levels more….😢
I’m going to give this a try.
Totally love listening to you -- knowledgeable, authentic & funny. Also, brave. 💗
👋 I eat grass fed beef - goat cheese - onions & garlic - eggs - bacon - kefir.
I do 18/6 feasted & I move my bod & do strength training with bands at home.
I’m feeling & looking fantastic
I’m in the UK, 50 years old and could always lose weight in the past. I go to the gym 5 times a week and walk daily and always try to eat healthily. I am getting married on the 9 July and just can’t loose any weight which is especially around my stomach.
I joined the Galveston diet 5 days ago and have lost 5 pounds! I eat in the 8 hours and although I’m a picky eater the recipes are delicious and I feel great!
Oh great news!! Keep us updated!
Congratulations on all fronts and many best wishes for a happy married life!!!

I have always followed a whole foods type diet, never really eating junk. I avoid seed oils like the plague because they are so inflammatory and even though I don't have any gluten problem I'm just not super interested in bread or pasta so I've never really eaten it. No processed packaged convenience foods or crackers or anything like that. I haven't eaten margarine since the '80s when my mother fed me gold & soft. This year at age 50 I really started concentrating on getting lots of protein at every meal when I realized I had been basically under eating for my entire life. I eat all forms of protein, meat eggs fish shellfish chicken. Lots of olive oil and butter. I eat some rice and I eat some fruit and veggies but every meal focuses primarily on protein. On the rare occasion I want a treat I will have a damn ice cream cone because it gives me no issues and I want to live my life without being afraid of food. Anyway within a matter of weeks a whole slew of issues completely cleared up. Bleeding gums, incredibly painful periods, anxiety, sore joints, constipation, in total about eight things went away or improved in a matter of probably three weeks. I'm finally able to build muscle at the gym despite having lifted weights since age 16. I've doubled my calories and if I really concentrate on getting that protein in I lose weight. I'm almost 51 and my periods are still 29 days apart like clockwork. I found a supplement that completely got rid of all my occasional night time hot flashes so I feel like a new person. I'm no longer afraid to get old. I'm not here to argue with anyone I'm just telling you my experience, good luck everybody! 🩷
Good morning from Brooklyn, NY. I'm on the Eat for Your Blood Type diet and eat Non-GMO produce for over 30 years and it helps reduce inflammation. ❤
Googled it (poop): These organic solids consist of: 25-54% bacterial biomass, 2-25% protein or nitrogenous matter, 25% carbohydrate or undigested plant matter and 2-15% fat. Protein and fat come from the colon due to secretion, epithelial shedding and gut bacterial action.
Ground and fresh ginger are my best friends! Everyone lauds turmeric but i turn into a zombie when i use that product. Mustard powder is another of my allies. I have had to eliminate dairy, vegetable oil, white flour. Most pork products. I am pushing 61 have been working out pretty steady for 2 years + now and I'm seeing my certain areas of fat storage around my ab area. I am working on my nutrition and I have been adding better things in. If I'm doing any sweetners brown sugar in baking, real maple syrup and raw honey. I feel like I'm intoxicated on most of the sweetners so i just leave them alone. I LOVE fresh blueberries and a variety of fresh fruits just have to be mindful as to what i eat them with due to sugar crashes. And yes I do add FRESH ground flaxseed and chia seeds to my baking. Thank you for sharing your information and knowledge. I have found some answers to some of my issues.
Thank you for all this useful information. And for that person who said you are fearmongering, get a reality check.
You are super informative! I'm shocked you don't have a million followers!

Just pre ordered your new book 📚 on menopause! Still my own advocate …..fighting for a decade and still going. I aint taken drs rejecting me …..I have almost every menopause symptom in the book ……electrical shocks , tingly fingers , getting dry everywhere, cold and hot as if thyroid is off but on meds 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️, itching skin, muscle cramps though I take loads of magnesium 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️, 30 plus pounds extra in weight gain HAVENT CHANGED ANYTHING……😢😢😢……INSOMNIA, itching ears , bleeding gums every night I brush my teeth, more cavities 🤦♀️🤦♀️, seeing my dental hygienist I think every 3 months then every 6 months what it use to be. Had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out in perimenopause. Cavities popping up like crazy. Bladder problems driving me crazy . 🤯🤯🤯
Adding more protein has hugely helped my blood sugar swings. Was able to fast almost 10 hrs for blood work today . Couldn’t do that in January. My readings for diabetes was high in January yet that still didn’t convince my dr. I couldn’t fast then do to blood sugar swings. Protein has helped , blood sugar still goes up if I have a small cheat.
I think a glass of wine per night is still extremely excessive because ultimately alcohol is a sugar, it will raise the blood glucose and honestly I think a glass per week is safer than a glass per night.
The process of making alcohol changes sugar into alcohol. Red wine and champagne have 1.6 sugar in a bottle! Wine actually lowers glucose. The issues with wine are: 1) the alcohol is an inflammatory substance to the gut lining and 2) your metabolism burns alcohol first, before glucose and protein. So, if you have much wine, any calories you consume will be stored as fat.
Thank you for the clarification of Omega 6! I was wondering why I had heard to cut back on it & didn't even know where it might be coming from!
A question about getting nutrients from food, isn’t a lot of our food in this country not rich in nutrients? Don’t we have to supplement?
Sufferer of lifelong endometriosis. Post menopause I have been having terrible joint pains, insane weight gain…and took your inflammation quiz (failed only because it was about last 24 hours and last 24 hours I was ‘whatever’ with my food intake) so all in all a disaster.
My sister and friend ( same symptoms as me) independently sent me your link on TikTok. I took it as a sign, subscribed and bought your Galveston diet book on kindle.
However I have one niggling doubt ‘ is this all marketing strategy to sell your book and services ‘. I bring this up only because of that comment about fear mongering .
I am between keto, carnivore, with vegetables and berries . Processed foods out. Good healthy fats , seeds and nuts. Protein powders for smoothies. With ground flax, chia and psyhillum husk ? For Fiber.

Well now on day 12 on the diet and just can’t believe I have lost ten pounds! I couldn’t loose one pound even though I ate healthily for many months and went to the gym five times a week and walked daily.
I’m getting married in 6 weeks and had lost all hope of loosing anything!
It’s not easy but I love the healthy food, feel in control with the 8 hour window and am so thankful I found this diet.
The fat around my middle was really getting me down and although I lost weight in the past I was 13 stone 8 and just couldn’t loose anything.
Recipes are so delicious and easy to prepare.
It is a way of life but I would recommend to anyone 😊

The more I research, the more I'm coming to understand that it's not our food, it's a lack of the diverse microbiome needed to keep our bodies functioning correctly. We are experiencing an extinction of the gut bacteria needed to help break our food down.

Good morning. I found your page, and I’ve been watching your videos; they are very informative. In 2011 I was diagnosed w celiac. In 2016 i finished menopause. Since then I’ve developed more food allergies. I pay attention to what I eat and what causes a distended stomach and pain. My issue is that my skin bruises like an 80 year old and my skin is thin. I eat organic foods as much as possible, I grow my own veggies and I eat meat. I supplement w vitamins and probiotics. None of my doctors have been able to figure out what vitamins I’m lacking in. The celiac has been all my life but wasn’t diagnosed until I was 49. Everything seemed to happen all at once during menopause, and yes…my belly fat and weight has increased during Covid. I don’t eat wheat products or cow’s milk products ( I do eat goats cheese sparingly). I have always been very aware of being food conscious. I can’t figure out what I should do to up my metabolism. I can’t help but think that it’s all correlated together.
Unfortunately, if you are not already a patient, I cannot offer you individualized advice, everyone is different. I do recommend The Galveston Diet and hope that it can help. I would also consult with a Registered Dietician.
Thank you for your love of healing❤🎉
