Just thought I'd share a bit. My husband sent me a link to Dr McDougall's channel last summer. After 1 video I told him let's try this. I've been overweight for several decades. Had all the accompanying medical issues as well. I started this journey about8 or 9 months ago and am happy to say Sunday morning I reached 61lbs gone. Yay me. Seems like I eat all the time. Don't miss the old foods at all. My thanks for being here.
A channel like this should have ten million subscribers! God bless you, Dr. McDougall, Mary and Heather. We so appreciate all you do week after week to educate us.
This is a very compelling presentation, and cholesterol is why I started the Mcdougall diet. My cholesterol kept going up and I tried some different diet changes but nothing worked. Finally, the Mcdougall diet worked! Cholesterol dropped a whopping 100 points through diet. No statins! And no more blood pressure medication (with doctor supervision of course stopping it).
Dr McDougall is awesome. I managed to keep my cancer at bay by eating the McDougall diet. I taught my dad to do the same. He got impatient and started to cheat after his stage 4 lung cancer downgraded to stage 2. When his doctor recommended radiotherapy, he went back to eating McDougall diet & asking me to send him green smoothies😂😂😂😂. This proves Dr McDougall right. We eat rice with potatoes, squashes & a bit of leafy green. We gain weight by drinking legume & rice milk.
I started McDougall diet 15 years ago and I loooove it! It is completely untrue that people won't stay on this diet. It is beyond easy and wonderfully tasty. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself. Just love John and Mary and am SO appreciative of their efforts all these years!
I was diagnosed with Hughes syndrome which is a sticky blood problem, after a stroke at age 30. I changed my diet to vegan 32 years ago and I have not had another stoke. My blood doctor tells me that he has never had a patient like me who is not on blood thinners and no medications. I am 62 years old.
Thank you Dr McDougall for this valuable information!! Thank you for your book , A Healthy Heart. I have listened to you for some time, and will be transitioning to a WFPB diet. This has definitely been a learning journey!! Thank you and Mary for all you do, as well as others teaching and informing us.
Thank you Dr McDougall for helping us to understand how to be on the right track! We were definitely going in the wrong direction before we started listening to you and reading your books. We are so grateful to have this knowledge and it also just makes everything easier. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏
My husband has aortic stenosis by birth defect. He's had regular ultrasound and ekg and seen slight improvements on his aortic dilation since changing our way of eating.
That is very good! I hear that people with type one diabetes also in some cases require less medication, too, when on a diet like Mcdougall's. They won't cure the disease, though.
Thanks 🙏🏿 Dr McDougall I started a week ago and felling better each day praying to bring my cholesterol down I don’t miss the chicken and also thanks to Healthy Emmie I am eating better 🙏🏿❤️🌹⭐️💯👍👏
I am a 72 year old that has been plant based for about 6 months ,was raised on the standard American diet, feel so much better, lab work has been improving, only 2 medications, cholesterol and hypothyroid. Working on getting off cholesterol med. Haven't lost a lot of weight, am at 150 lbs.and 5 foot 4, any tips to get that moving?
Mainly, be consistent and be patient. If you can, use an exercise bike every other day, but when you use it, make sure you get just a little bit out of breath. You should be breathing just hard enough so that it would be noticeable if you were having a conversation. Go for about 45 minutes.
Agree totally on the food. Done it for10 years but not so much on the global cooling. Its cold enough too long and not much sun in michigan. Ready for tropical all year around so we can enjoy the beautiful lakes
Love the info informing us about food & health. So many positive results ! Dubious of the manmade global warming/climate change lecture. Who make $$ from this? Who pays for those studies! Mirrors? Really? Wonder about unintended consequences from more man kind meddling.
I’m a big fan of Dr. McDougall, and have been wfpb, pretty low fat, for about 15 years. Post-menopausal my BP and cholesterol (220!!) levels have gone up. It’s rather frustrating; I will try to more closely monitor the saturated fat intake.
The diet supplies enough water,,fiber,vitamins,and minerals to have plenty of energy throughout the day without having to feel sleepy. Proper sleep,and physical activity keeps your hormones level. A poor diet can only make you feel tired,,make you mind run with negative thoughts,give you mood swings,create pain and inflammation.
Please listen to Dr McDougall,he has helped me get through the hard times with addictions,family issues,money issues,etc. No matter the issue it can get better but it starts with you believing in yourself and doing it.
Wheat today is much different than 3000 years ago, and is often also sprayed with glyphosate … that’s the key difference that you didn’t address in your response. Many are in fact into,errant to gluten.
On strict WFPB plus 2 cholesterol drugs so that my total cholesterol is at around 150. Had heart attack, stents and bypass b4 so not taking any more risk. Drugs are important though especially for people who refuse to change their diet.
If you do a few google searches you will find studies that indicate liver function deteriorates with age so excess cholesterol removal via the liver would likely become less efficient. Another reason could be people's body fat percentage increases with age and this has a correlation with increasing cholesterol. Interestingly bmi doesn't seem to have the same type of correlation. As people get older if they don't get fatter they often do lose some muscle and put on some fat.
Everyone forgets that the Egyptians in the bible didn't have pork chops in their stores, but grain. At least with the grain we know it was actually there.
I've learned to listen to Dr. M. and Mary pretty much faithfully. I hear others as well.....but my fall back and go to is definitely Dr. M's way of living a healthy lifestyle and the true way of eating. Just about zero sickness when 1 followers the Starch Solution
I have heard that cholesterol is actually what repairs damaged arterial walls. Wouldn't it be safe to say that an increase in cholesterol is signifying one's arteries are damaged and they need more cholesterol in order to make the repairs?
Dr. McDougall, recent blood panel came back saying that my total cholesterol was 76. However my right carotid artery in neck is totally clogged. Been Vegan 8 years and WFPB high raw past year. Cooked foods are SOS-free starches. 62 year patient; should I worry about that right blocked artery?
What were you eating before the last 8 years? The authority on vegetarian diets from slim and fit long term non smoking Chinese vegetarians with low total cholesterol levels and taking no medications with a BMI of 22 which somehow hurt their cardiovascular health is provided here. 2005 article "Vascular Dysfunction in Chinese Vegetarians: An Apparent Paradox?" The CIMT shows the evidence.
Best treatment for atherosclerosis: Vitamin C Why do only coronary arteries clog with cholesterol and not veins or small capillaries? If "high cholesterol" is the cause of clogging your arteries, why doesn't it clog the arteries in your finger, your nose, and the smallest capillaries in your toe? Scurvy = No vitamin C in your diet. Symptom: Your blood vessels break and you bleed to death. Think of the sailor of the past. Scurvy of the heart = Just enough vitamin C from food. Symptom: Arteries around the heart are not strong enough to resist high blood pressure. Damage is repaired with cholesterol LP(a) to prevent worse. After years of repair, your arteries become clogged. A guinea pig can also not synthesize vitamin C by themself, just like humans, and needs supplementing 50 mg vitamin C every day and weighs only 1 kilo. 1 orange = 50 mg vitamin C. Do you really think that 75 mg vitamin C for YOU is enough? What is your weight? Enough vitamin C supplement of at least 3000 mg. per day gives strong and flexible arteries. Cholesterol is not needed as a repair agent. Cholesterol in your coronary arteries is broken down and burned in your liver.

You’ll never convince me to ever take a supplement of vitamin C. You believe that ascorbic acid = vitamin C. An Orange is vitamin C. Ascorbic acid sells for fractions of a penny per pound, it’s incredibly cheap, big bags of chemical ascorbic acid. Manufactured in China and the main ingredients to create it is BLEACH! Horseshit is very high in calcium, but it doesn’t mean it’s a good food. ACETONE! one of the most toxic chemicals we know, that is used among many other toxic chemicals, to create this really cheap, acid powder called ascorbic acid, that is 99% of all the vitamin C stuff out there today. Now you know how your supplement of vitamin C is made, how on earth is that gonna get you well. There is so much missing. Nature knows best just get everthing in nature that they just don’t know about whats inside our foods. Take a leaf of spinach, it has hundreds of compounds and nobody knows how they work and if they work in synergy. An isolated chemical is not going to help you.
I have a question, can someone with medical knowledge tell me please, is cholesterol a form of fat? Is it Ch. that blocks the arteries when in surplus? Thank you in advance.
Thanks ! Wish all WFPB MD's will turn off the confusion switch soon ? There seems only small disagreement between all in the several boards ? 👍 Rock on 🙂.
Interestingly, I looked up the Guardian article about atherosclerosis in mummies and Dr Thomas, a cardiologist, was part of the Horus study. They concluded that atherosclerosis couldn’t be caused by diet because they didn’t eat junk food, but instead infection caused by zoonotic diseases. EXCUSE ME!
Bread is the staff of life. I eat so-called Rustic bread from whole wheat flour and yeast. I don't know when yeast was first started to be used. Edit: The interwebs told me "The earliest known records of yeast risen bread come from Ancient Egypt in 1300-1500 BCE ". So the Egyptians, mentioned in this very video eating the Staff of Life, about every other day I eat a large amount of this bread. I eat enough vegetables and fruits too but the bulk of calories is from bread on that day.
You need cholesterol and animal fats to manufacture hormones in your body. Animal fats can also lower your cortisol (a hormone). Cholesterol and fats balance our hormones. This is why strict vegans sometimes have trouble having babies.
According to Dr. Barnard, women who believe that they are incapable of having children get pregnant when they switched to vegan diets during nutritional research trials.
If only I could tolerate potatoes, I wouldn't be so hungry eating this way. Potatoes are so filling but give me severe muscle pain. Also, they are too high in oxalates for me.

Thanks for the gift of a book on the heart. Enjoyed seeing you on The Food Revolution Summit
What Dr. John McDougall says- I've been doing since 2020. With His suggestions, I've become "Rich in Food and Water"! And Metabolic Health!y!
Thank you so much for the heart book!

Why does cholesterol go up with age? Do people eat more meat with age? Does the liver make more? Or does the body use less?
