I love how Gregor is always looking for new data and is okay with changing his opinions abt things when shown correct data. That is how you know he is a good doctor. Love him!
Yes, had a blood test and my doctor was really impressed! Said my results were excellent!! I’ve been vegan since 2016 so hope I’m that shining example Dr Greger suggests we be! 🌱I’m 59 by the way!!!
I was vegan for 14 years. If you need real evidence, look at real experiences and what was genuinely felt for so long. And check out real experiences from other ex-vegans, and no, we didn't do it wrong, many many years were spent on trying to be the most successful vegans. I guess we mostly only learn the hard way, sadly, especially vegans in this case, which is unfortunate for many, but maybe inevitable and meant to be to get us to a better place. Here's what happened to me living as a vegan for 14 years: th-cam.com/video/Bm528uAI8m0/w-d-xo.html
Somebody please get the doctor a green screen so you can make it look like he’s walking in the woods or something... and then change the background every time you cut back to him.
Thank you, Dr. Greger, for expressing the importance of "not minimising people's suffering." After watching several practitioners openly berate the trending ex-vegans without addressing their medical condition, it was nice to witness compassion in a Plant Based medical doctor.
Mic the Vegan and Dr. Gregor are the first two plant-positive people I discovered on TH-cam after adopting a strictly plant-based diet. I wouldn't have wanted to do it without either of them. Amazing to see them together!
....." until we put it to the test" rings in my head every time I hear Dr Gregor. His boundless enthusiasm and skeptics approach to diet and health is inspiring. Thanks for this interview; really fun to hear Dr Gregor outside of his regular videos on YT. He is a treasure 💙
There's no such thing as a vegan diet, though there is such a thing as a plant-based diet. Veganism is the philosophy of not exploiting animals. You can eat a whole food plant-based diet, yet not be vegan because you wear leather, etc. Dr. Greger does not talk about veganism, he talks about health research and recommends people eat an evidence-based diet, and you're apparently painfully unaware of this.
You looked like me (star struck) when I first met Dr. Greger. He is pretty fabulous, but so are you! I hope you keep doing what you do so myself and others can continue to learn from you.
Congrats!! I'm coming on two years this September and have lowered cholesterol, blood pressure, and lost 40lbs. The best thing though is my husband controlled his diabetes and avoided pills!
I’ve been vegan for 6 months now after some majority health issues including cancer and heart attack. I’m 74 with good body weight and have always lifted weights and did a lot of cardio being a firefighter/paramedic! Better late than never I guess. So far I feel great and actually really like it! I still incorporate a little olive oil for cooking and flavor
Dr Greger thank you so much for your decision to switch to online from clinic practice, you are 80% of the reason my husband and i went vegan and im happier and healthier than ever raising 2 stellar vegan babies! My family loves you and i send your videos to all my friends, helping them go plant based and vegan and lose weight and get health on track. Thanks again youre the best, Dr Greger and Mic!
Hi guys, I am vegan since almost 2 years, also I am a medical resident in child psychiatry in Canada, I was family doctor before in Brazil, and I love your videos. Thank you so much for such a extraordinary work!
im 16 and i want to be a vegan physical trainor on the side of being a wildlife biologist sooo this intrests me Mike thank you i have been watching u for a while and ur what made me want to go vegan!!!
i did a ketogenoc diet for some years almost 5. And it ruined my health. Liver problems kidney problems and stomach problems. I was in a very dark place. I even got depression. I just ate meat and more meat and eggs eggs, milk milk, and fish fish. I am vegan now its been 8 months almost. And i feel 100 times better now. Thanks good. My vegan girlfriend saved my life
Aegon the Spartan amazing!!! High fat diets are known to cause a fatty liver and liver problems as well. It makes sense. Stick to your Whole Foods vegan diet :) good luck on your health journey
Interesting, I'm curious on the foods you were eating? As an athlete I'm thriving on keto. I have vegan athlete friends who are blown away by my gains. Also, 33 years of suicidal depression is completely gone, along with a slew of other symptoms. To each there own though, glad your diet is working for you!
@@mystyboarder910 i was eating beef, beef, turkey, lots of eggs and eggs milk cheese goat cheese most of it.. pure keto diet. No cakes no fast foods. Just pure meat and also fish. More meat than fish. And the studies say the same, keto kills your organs long therm, so now it all makes sense. Its a fact i am sure now. Some people smoke a lot and live until 100 years just fine. Some do keto and do just fine. Many will die. Dont know if you will die or not...
Psilocybins yes agree. Only my view, but maybe opened a window for others to investigate themselves. Diet has a taste of 'religion' and beliefs. Therefore no citations. Everybody need to find out themselves.
Met Dr. Greger at Vegfest Michigan. He took book signings 2+ hours after his presentation- we even had to move outside of the Center because they needed to break down the event. He says to drop the gurus, but he'll always be mine. 🤗

Mic, you are so onto it - I don't think there's another channel that adds the relevant visual aids in the way you do. Always impressive and I love that you are prepared to set the record straight updating information and correcting previous theories.
This was the best video with dr. Greger in it on the whole internet, even competes his own! Because you asked the right questions! And it wasn't that easy to find an answer to the SIBO and the milk question. You made a good blood vessel related suggestion on the milk yourself, and he had no time to think deep enough about the SIBO in long term vegans it felt. I am sure we get even better answers to these in future. Thank you both!
I choke out guys in my Jiu Jitsu classes and can train for hours. When people ask about my diet I say I exclude all things meat and dairy and eat plant base.

That's a great answer!! I have found that my endurance and recovery times have skyrocketed on a WFPB diet! I'm almost in disbelief! The weight is just slowly melting off too and I'm getting eyed up from people and that never used to happen !! Love it !!
I’m thankful for discovering your channel. Haven’t made the full jump yet, but I’m working on going vegan at 35 thanks to your videos. I work as a line cook, so it will be difficult, but I feel I owe it to myself and to nature. Also, I just love Dr. Gregor’s energy!
Gregor is right! My grandma went vegan 2 years ago- now she is literally described by her non vegan doctor as his miracle patient 💕 My dad who is 60 & 2 years vegan gets so so many comments- from even ppl in the street about how well he looks, he too is his non vegan doctors amazing patient 💕
I totally believe in the front loading calories thing (even though I don't do it myself..... I need to lol). There was a lady at the hospital I had to visit who came in for a fracture after a fall-so not diet related visit at all-still active, lives alone at home, gardens everyday, goes for daily walks, visits her grandchildren, all at 92 years old!! She tended to eat around 11 am after gardening or walking in the sun, her highest meal, mostly fruit and veg, and then ate again for dinner, which was lighter and smaller. 2 bigger meals, the earlier one more calorie dense than the other, and thriving. Thanks for hosting the interview !!
I thought balding was due to testosterone levels; the more testosterone, the sooner you go bald... and a vegan diet is said to increase your testosterone!
Nitsan Simantov Check out markus RothcranzTH-cam site he doesn't eat till 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Also check out the USC longevity clinic. where they fast for 12 to 13 Hours A-day and they don't eat breakfast until 12 or 1. Dr Volter Longo from USC Is the leading authority on fasting and how it kills cancer in increases your life spin. Doctor g's got it all wrong no big breakfast that was back in the eighties and nineties.
This meeting was bound to happen at some point. I really appreciate hearing both of your perspectives on these topics. Many people fail to continue a vegan diet because they are experiencing ill effects that they cannot seem to find solutions for. We need more resources and practitioners who are equipped to help these individuals. I am dealing with malabsorption of nutrients in my body and this has shown up in my teeth, gum, tongue, and nail health. No idea what to do to remedy this, but I am searching for answers. Been on a WFPB diet for nearly 18 months eating a wide variety of fresh vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, and legumes. We are all so unique and require equally specialized solutions. That's one of the reasons why I struggle with the medical community and how they approach health and wellness. Broad spectrum solutions are not sustainable or reasonable in regard to human health.
Thanks for this! Michael Greger's book 'how not to die' is the reason I began following a whole food plant based diet 2 years ago and I'm doing great. You both continue doing the fantastic work you are doing. Kudos!
Can you please do a video on PCOS and Fertility? I know I may not be the only one suffering from this, it would be really helpful to know any nutritional science on the subject.
Go to Nutrition facts.org & check out the women's health video series its a total game changer! I have had sooo much success treating my once painful periods w a whole food plant based diet xx
@@TheMissCrocodile I've done that, but I couldn't find much beyond AGEs, whenever I try to find the optimal diet I mostly find low-carb diets as the only remedy.
L.A Mendoza hiii:) I actually am healing my PCOS with a balanced, Whole Foods vegan diet. Green smoothies in the morning ALWAYS, no gluten/corn/mostly organic fruits n veggies, oatmeal, and no refined sugars, etc! My periods are regular for the third month straight, hormonal acne is gone, hormones are balancing, stress management exercises! Feel free to ask me anything! It’s all abt consistency. I’ve been on this vegan whole food diet for a year and a half straight and I’m finally seeing amazing results. It takes patience.
Bad SIBO can be helped with warm honey water with lemon and ginger in the morning. 8oz water 1tbsp honey 1tbsp ginger juice 1 tbsp lemon juice. This works similar to an antibiotic. Also, coconut oil with almost any hot tea can help also for similar reasons. 🙂
Ahh yes, I think it was Sverige that said “I won’t listen to Dr. Greger because he’s pale and skinny.” If I arrived at my Dr’s office and he looked like Phil Heath, or Jay Cutler, I’d grab my pants and walk tf out. But Sophocles over there wants Ronnie Coleman fingering his prostate. My Dr. should like exactly like Greger. Tyvm.
It’s funny how carnivore and whole food vegan are so far apart yet closer by what they avoid. No refined veg oils and no added sugar. I think seed oil and sugar are the two items to avoid for better health reducing inflammation and diabetic related ailments.
I just met Dr. Greger this weekend at VegMichigan! He is a gem!!! He gave a great presentation, as usual; and he was so funny! His upbeat personality is infectious! My family waited in line 2 hours to meet him to sign our copy of How Not To Die. The fest was over, but he stayed until everyone in line had a chance to meet him. Mic, I wore my Nama'stay Vegan t-shirt, and it got many compliments. I told everybody it was a Mic the Vegan t-shirt and to check you out on YT. #micthevegan Thank you!!!
Sarah Palmani wait! WTH!!! I ordered my shirt weeks ago and got an email from Bonfire that I wouldn’t get my shirt until the campaign ended! I admit I don’t quite understand how Bonfire works. Do you mind if I asked when you got yours?
Most of the countries with the hip fractures, have not much sun, which means lower Vitamin D, this effects the absorption/transportation of Calcium, also K2 important in this too
This is true for us who live in northern Europe. very few hours of sunlight in winter months, even as little as 1-2 hours of sun in December.. if the skies are clear, and your not stuck inside mid day for work or whatever. Vit D deficiency is quite common here unfortunately.
But groups who live in the same countries have also been studied and hip fractures are higher in those who consume dairy. Don't remember the source off the top of my head but Mic does cover this in a video (potentially a dairy one but it is covered).
Same here. I know he saved my life. I am now 100 pounds lighter, and have kept it off for four years now. I am off any meds the "doctors" had me on back then. I am 60 years old and feel better than I did at 40. WFPB forever. Happily!
Congrats on the Greger interview. You could tell you were a little nervous and possibly intimidated talking with nutrition Jesus. (I use that term with utmost respect, not trolling at at all). Awesome that you got him to drop the “Chronobiology” bomb. Can’t wait for the next book. Nice job👍. Keep it up, thank you for what you do🌱💪
Its widely known that he isnt vegan. He is plantbased, he doesnt eat a vegan diet for the animals, but for his health. Veganism is an ideology, not just a diet.
Allostasis Nice strawman. Greger has broken 100,000,000 TH-cam plays promoting plant based diet why would vegans not love the guy? He eats a vegan diet even if he is not a "vegan" lol
Great interview Mic! One thing, it is difficult to follow with my headphones because your speaking volume is much higher than Dr. Greger's here. I am not sure if it is just me, but maybe not. Thanks anyway for the many good questions.
"Get away from Guru worship." Well said. Evidence is what matters. Sadly, most people, vegans included, do not know how to assess and discern what constitutes evidence. I truly think that critical thinking and a proper understanding of how to conduct research is so vital to our digital society. People are believing and accepting the craziest of ideas uncritically and many of these ideas influence one's quality of life.
Opinion overload right? I'd love to see more channels presenting evidence like Mike and dr. Greggor do, and see if they reach different conclusions. So far any debunk attempts I've seen are pretty weak.
Great interview with many useful tips. The best thing came at the very end - the timing and size of meals really matters through the day. I've eaten small breakfasts and large dinners for decades, partly because I never felt hungry until close to midday. I went vegan a few months ago, and recently I've found the pattern starting to change, so I feel hungry very early in the morning, and this tapers off through the day, though it does vary a bit. The good doctor's advice about loading the calories towards the earlier part of the day makes sense, so I will now consciously make sure to eat a large breakfast, a smaller lunch, and eat less for dinner. Many sources also recommend allowing at least 12 hours break between dinner and breakfast, to allow the digestive system to rest - and of course a lot of the repair and maintenance work is done during sleep, so that's also good advice for optimal health.
Super informative video! Everyone on the high fruit diets should watch this (towards the end when he talks about glycemic levels spiking and then diving.) A reminder to always do your own research and not just blindly listen to people because they look a certain way etc.
It should be law that anyone interviewing Dr.Greger has to also be on a treadmill :)
Hahaha that would be hilarious to see
The first Dr Greger interview I saw, I thought he was pacing back and forth because he had to use the bathroom
Yeah, MIC!!!
Haha
Add the bounce from the stair climber 😂
The viewers would get sea sick.
I love how Gregor is always looking for new data and is okay with changing his opinions abt things when shown correct data. That is how you know he is a good doctor. Love him!
He's never practiced medicine. Never had one patient.
He looks like shit? I'll take my nutritional advice from som1 that doesn't poison themselves through nutritional ignorance!!!
If he looked at new research, he would be telling people to eat bioavailable, nutrient animal foods.😊

I’m thankful for discovering your channel. Haven’t made the full jump yet, but I’m working on going vegan at 35 thanks to your videos. I work as a line cook, so it will be difficult, but I feel I owe it to myself and to nature.
Also, I just love Dr. Gregor’s energy!
Gregor is right! My grandma went vegan 2 years ago- now she is literally described by her non vegan doctor as his miracle patient 💕 My dad who is 60 & 2 years vegan gets so so many comments- from even ppl in the street about how well he looks, he too is his non vegan doctors amazing patient 💕
@blue222blue and it's really quite simple
He's not actually on a treadmill, he's stomping on a Keto diet promoter!
😆
🤣🤣🤣
That's my kink.
Lol vegans are so mentally ill
@@DrSpooglemon stomp on me
Dr. Greger is a living legend. No one has educated/inspired me about nutrition more than him.
Mic comes second
I totally believe in the front loading calories thing (even though I don't do it myself..... I need to lol). There was a lady at the hospital I had to visit who came in for a fracture after a fall-so not diet related visit at all-still active, lives alone at home, gardens everyday, goes for daily walks, visits her grandchildren, all at 92 years old!! She tended to eat around 11 am after gardening or walking in the sun, her highest meal, mostly fruit and veg, and then ate again for dinner, which was lighter and smaller. 2 bigger meals, the earlier one more calorie dense than the other, and thriving. Thanks for hosting the interview !!
I fully expect Dr. Greger's healthy diet will one day grow all his hair back. Beautifully flowing plant-based locks!
Great interview :)
My hair got thick again after being on a plant based diet for about 8 months.
@@bbqseitan7106 niiiiiiice!
@@Yayyyyyyyyyy it's.....a joke.
🙄
@Jake S awesome!!
I thought balding was due to testosterone levels; the more testosterone, the sooner you go bald... and a vegan diet is said to increase your testosterone!
Thank you both for all the great information!! ❤️
I could listen to you 2 all day. Great interview, I really appreciated the original and thoughtful questions.
The best bromance ever 😍😍😍
True. But this one is ever better: th-cam.com/video/enCYBQrtM48/w-d-xo.html
Great video. You guys are awesome. I'm eating no breakfasts and big dinners. Gonna have to change that
Same!
Nitsan Simantov Check out markus RothcranzTH-cam site he doesn't eat till 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Also check out the USC longevity clinic. where they fast for 12 to 13 Hours A-day and they don't eat breakfast until 12 or 1.
Dr Volter Longo from USC Is the leading authority on fasting and how it kills cancer in increases your life spin. Doctor g's got it all wrong no big breakfast that was back in the eighties and nineties.
If you recommend Dr Gregor I just subscribed to your channel. Science and quality information wins.
This meeting was bound to happen at some point. I really appreciate hearing both of your perspectives on these topics. Many people fail to continue a vegan diet because they are experiencing ill effects that they cannot seem to find solutions for. We need more resources and practitioners who are equipped to help these individuals. I am dealing with malabsorption of nutrients in my body and this has shown up in my teeth, gum, tongue, and nail health. No idea what to do to remedy this, but I am searching for answers. Been on a WFPB diet for nearly 18 months eating a wide variety of fresh vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, and legumes. We are all so unique and require equally specialized solutions. That's one of the reasons why I struggle with the medical community and how they approach health and wellness. Broad spectrum solutions are not sustainable or reasonable in regard to human health.
Thanks for this! Michael Greger's book 'how not to die' is the reason I began following a whole food plant based diet 2 years ago and I'm doing great. You both continue doing the fantastic work you are doing. Kudos!
Can you please do a video on PCOS and Fertility? I know I may not be the only one suffering from this, it would be really helpful to know any nutritional science on the subject.
Go to Nutrition facts.org & check out the women's health video series its a total game changer! I have had sooo much success treating my once painful periods w a whole food plant based diet xx
@@TheMissCrocodile I've done that, but I couldn't find much beyond AGEs, whenever I try to find the optimal diet I mostly find low-carb diets as the only remedy.
L.A Mendoza hiii:) I actually am healing my PCOS with a balanced, Whole Foods vegan diet. Green smoothies in the morning ALWAYS, no gluten/corn/mostly organic fruits n veggies, oatmeal, and no refined sugars, etc! My periods are regular for the third month straight, hormonal acne is gone, hormones are balancing, stress management exercises! Feel free to ask me anything! It’s all abt consistency. I’ve been on this vegan whole food diet for a year and a half straight and I’m finally seeing amazing results.
It takes patience.
Excellent interview. Well done Mic.
It's great to see Doc Greger on this site, Mic
Bad SIBO can be helped with warm honey water with lemon and ginger in the morning. 8oz water 1tbsp honey 1tbsp ginger juice 1 tbsp lemon juice. This works similar to an antibiotic. Also, coconut oil with almost any hot tea can help also for similar reasons. 🙂
The treadmill adds so much energy to his delivery it’s awesome
Keeps him from falling asleep
Ahh yes, I think it was Sverige that said “I won’t listen to Dr. Greger because he’s pale and skinny.” If I arrived at my Dr’s office and he looked like Phil Heath, or Jay Cutler, I’d grab my pants and walk tf out. But Sophocles over there wants Ronnie Coleman fingering his prostate. My Dr. should like exactly like Greger. Tyvm.
Joey Jones “skinny and pale” did he not just describe himself? The guy is delusional..
Dr G doesn’t have a tan because he’s a brainiac!
Ahahahahaha
It’s funny how carnivore and whole food vegan are so far apart yet closer by what they avoid. No refined veg oils and no added sugar. I think seed oil and sugar are the two items to avoid for better health reducing inflammation and diabetic related ailments.
Yet those in the middle path and mainstream science say it's fine in moderation.
Avoid oil, avoid sugar, avoid processed foods, calorie restrict, probably enough advice to fix 99% of the population.
I just met Dr. Greger this weekend at VegMichigan! He is a gem!!! He gave a great presentation, as usual; and he was so funny! His upbeat personality is infectious! My family waited in line 2 hours to meet him to sign our copy of How Not To Die. The fest was over, but he stayed until everyone in line had a chance to meet him. Mic, I wore my Nama'stay Vegan t-shirt, and it got many compliments. I told everybody it was a Mic the Vegan t-shirt and to check you out on YT. #micthevegan Thank you!!!
Sarah Palmani wait! WTH!!! I ordered my shirt weeks ago and got an email from Bonfire that I wouldn’t get my shirt until the campaign ended! I admit I don’t quite understand how Bonfire works. Do you mind if I asked when you got yours?
@@wfroedgern Yours must be another campaign, because I've had mine for months and months. It's worth the wait.
Dr Greger is the best. He always gives it to you straight and always with a bit of humor 👍
There is something about his tone. Sleazy. Unctuous. What a macabre little man!
Most of the countries with the hip fractures, have not much sun, which means lower Vitamin D, this effects the absorption/transportation of Calcium, also K2 important in this too
This is true for us who live in northern Europe. very few hours of sunlight in winter months, even as little as 1-2 hours of sun in December.. if the skies are clear, and your not stuck inside mid day for work or whatever. Vit D deficiency is quite common here unfortunately.
That was my first thought
Shh don't mess with their story lol
But groups who live in the same countries have also been studied and hip fractures are higher in those who consume dairy. Don't remember the source off the top of my head but Mic does cover this in a video (potentially a dairy one but it is covered).
In many asian countries, who aren't prone to hip fractures, people tend to avoid the sun like the plague though.
Great chat! So happy for us and you. That had to be exciting.
Thank you for answering the fruit question. I just asked you that today! (Wow, that was fast!) Great job, Mikes!
I went Plant Based after discovering Dr. Greger 6 years ago.
Same here. I know he saved my life. I am now 100 pounds lighter, and have kept it off for four years now. I am off any meds the "doctors" had me on back then. I am 60 years old and feel better than I did at 40. WFPB forever. Happily!
Our condolences
Congrats on the Greger interview. You could tell you were a little nervous and possibly intimidated talking with nutrition Jesus. (I use that term with utmost respect, not trolling at at all). Awesome that you got him to drop the “Chronobiology” bomb. Can’t wait for the next book. Nice job👍. Keep it up, thank you for what you do🌱💪
This video should be titled 'the effects of high carb diet on mental health'. He should invite Dr McDougall too.
WOWARWEEEEWAR!! My hero! 👏👏👏
Just why
Your hero is someone that isnt vegan? Surprising mr. hothead.
@@Deffine What makes you think he isn't Vegan?
Its widely known that he isnt vegan. He is plantbased, he doesnt eat a vegan diet for the animals, but for his health. Veganism is an ideology, not just a diet.
Allostasis Nice strawman.
Greger has broken 100,000,000 TH-cam plays promoting plant based diet why would vegans not love the guy? He eats a vegan diet even if he is not a "vegan" lol
How Dr. Greger runs an interview on a treadmill. How I watch Dr. Greger interviews on an elliptical lol 😂. Both of you, keep up the awesome work!!! ❤️
I love that he wants to help as many people as possible 💚
He will help you all right to an early grave
Great interview Mic! One thing, it is difficult to follow with my headphones because your speaking volume is much higher than Dr. Greger's here. I am not sure if it is just me, but maybe not. Thanks anyway for the many good questions.
I'M SO EXCITED TO WATCH!!!!!!!!!
I've been waiting for this video
💚😃💚 Love it!
Thank you both for your all you do.
21:57
dont say that too loudly or vegetable police will add cigarettes to his carni&ketchup diet
OMG I’m so happy you were able to interview him! This is sooooo great! 🌱.
You were fanboying so hard ;) and I was fangirling over the two of you! 🤣🤣
"Get away from Guru worship." Well said. Evidence is what matters. Sadly, most people, vegans included, do not know how to assess and discern what constitutes evidence. I truly think that critical thinking and a proper understanding of how to conduct research is so vital to our digital society. People are believing and accepting the craziest of ideas uncritically and many of these ideas influence one's quality of life.
Opinion overload right?
I'd love to see more channels presenting evidence like Mike and dr. Greggor do, and see if they reach different conclusions. So far any debunk attempts I've seen are pretty weak.
@@Situayo I concur. I love Mic and Dr. Gregor and we need them. But we also need more rational and informed dialogues, not vegan church services.
Hey, thanks for asking my question and for the shoutout :D
Keep up your epic work!
Great interview with many useful tips. The best thing came at the very end - the timing and size of meals really matters through the day. I've eaten small breakfasts and large dinners for decades, partly because I never felt hungry until close to midday. I went vegan a few months ago, and recently I've found the pattern starting to change, so I feel hungry very early in the morning, and this tapers off through the day, though it does vary a bit.
The good doctor's advice about loading the calories towards the earlier part of the day makes sense, so I will now consciously make sure to eat a large breakfast, a smaller lunch, and eat less for dinner.
Many sources also recommend allowing at least 12 hours break between dinner and breakfast, to allow the digestive system to rest - and of course a lot of the repair and maintenance work is done during sleep, so that's also good advice for optimal health.
nice one!
Vegan Footsoldier no u
Haaa your that vegan thats friends with ask yourself! How you two doing?
high energy + high energy = awesome content-packed convo... best watched on 0.75x speed ;)
Oh my goodness you did so well Mike! 🙌
I love Dr. Greger’s big smile lol
Excellent video really enjoyed. Thank you
Fantastic gem 💎 of an interview. Knowledge & Tredmills go so well together.
I like how he's walking on the treadmill. And good info
Super informative video! Everyone on the high fruit diets should watch this (towards the end when he talks about glycemic levels spiking and then diving.) A reminder to always do your own research and not just blindly listen to people because they look a certain way etc.
Excellent video! Two of my all-time favorite vegans! Thanks for all you guys do!
This was awesome, thanks for making this interview happen.
Omg when he gets excited about the Too much fruit video!! hahaha
Dr.Greger you are so awesome, I'm reading how not to die for my nutrition class right now and I'm SO excited for your new book to come out!
FOR ANYBODY WHOS EVER SEEN THE SHOW DOUG:
Dr. Greger sounds exactly like the principal in Doug.
Keep up the great work Dr. G!
Omg I love you for saying that
Excellent interview, brilliant information 🎉
