- Are you healthy? This video shows you how to tell if you are healthy. It is based upon an often quoted recent study on what percentage of Americans are healthy. There is a link to the study below. I review the factors that tell a person’s metabolic health. The factors that control one’s health include blood pressure, waist circumference, glucose control, lipids, medications amongst other things. Tune in and find out to see how to tell if you're healthy. Like all my videos this one is closed captioned for hearing impaired and foreign-language viewers.

What a wonderful lecture by a doctor who talks with so much common sense He even includes his cats as an ADDED bonus to relieve stress which is so important to our health. LOVED & SUBSCRIBED
The cats were great
Agree, but I can do without the cats.
doctors often like chronic patients especially in society where health expenditure is covered by public compulsory health insurance. My motto is that the best doctor is the one I don't need at all:).
A once a year doctor
When my son developed multiple allergies at a very young age, I went down the rabbit hole of nutrition. I never went to school for it, but instead learned a had a thing for studying biology and understanding how the body functions. I’m a bit nerdy that way. It’s been an interesting journey and along that journey, I learned about how industrial food production took place, how marketing affects the public and sadly the medical advice sometimes regarding food, what is in our food, and how to prepare food in the most nutritionally advantageous ways. It’s ended up culminating in growing a large proportion of our food, and some of the traditional ways to prepare/preserve it for maximum nutrition. This has led to a pretty healthy family. Not perfect by any means, but I’d wager far healthier than average.I truly wish that more people understood how critical diet is to health! I think our communities would be far healthier and able to ward off disease and metabolic disorders.
You're a good role model. I agree, proper nutrition is vital to good health, hard to do for some though.
As a single man who lives by myself it is challenging to find healthy food for a 1 person dinner. Everything that's frozen or canned is loaded with sugar and processed lacking nutrients!
@@loveislove4879 Ditto, I'm a healthy 77, bachelor, I guess I gave up on nutritious, what I've eaten all my life however hasn't killed me yet so I just keep on eating what works for me, meat, potatoes and beans today and leftovers tomorrow. Finding a one serving turkey is rough though...Cornish hens don't taste the same.
Good fer ya...
Let food (not GMO) be thy medicine...
Good for you. Your family should thank you for being on the ball all those years ago.
I have social anxiety, so I always imagine myself petting my favorite cat when I am getting blood pressure taken at the Dr.'s office. It works like a charm.
That is a great thought for those difficult situations!
Any day I don't have people standing over me saying "Doesn't he look natural" is a good day for me.
Made me laugh. 😂
But I don’t look natural.....anyway!
😺
Another concise, no nonsense, valuable presentation. The kitty is just a bonus...
Thank you!
I have been bingeing on your videos & I just love them. Your demeanor during your presentations & the easy manner in which you communicate inspires confidence. The videos are short, but packed full of valuable information. I just wish I could multiply you 1million times & populate health facilities all over America with your passion for educating people & helping us all to obtain an optimal level of wellness. You are a gem & I’m so fortunate to have found your channel. I am now a new fan & subscriber. Thank you for all your hard work, advice & help, it really matters!! PS the cats are a very pleasant bonus, they are beautiful !❤️
Thanks Christina.
In respect to this Video it is worth saving because it has vital information, in which Dr. Moran includes body index, what is normal blood pressure and a detail PowerPoint . I really appreciate this information . May you have a pleasant evening.
Thank you! As the weather is getting rainier I just ordered a treadmill to get through the winter. It’s not only for metabolic health but mental health too. I appreciate your straight talk and expertise. Stay safe and healthy everyone!
get a blender n food chopper GREAT DIETARY investments!!
Workout outside and get your vit D and ice man skills
Wish he was on the tube educating everyone!😊. Thanks Doc.
Dr. Moran, the bringer of enlightenment and the friend of felines
Could you do a video on the topic of COVID Infection being the fault of unvaccinated? While this is likely true for those with comorbidities, I believe governing agencies are using this narrative incorrectly, as there is a known percentage of the population that are metabolically healthy. We should not be pressured into taking these vaccines. We should be able to have our physician sign-off that we have successfully passed this 6 category evaluation and do not require a vaccine because we too are helping establish herd immunity. I believe this is actually the highest state of protection our society has against this virus as well as the most common causes of death.
When it comes to any medical decisions with my body, I shouldn't need a note for my doctor. A no thank you should suffice under every Charter rights and freedoms or Constitution
If you have cats you must be a good person. Cats lives matter.
Thank you Fiona, We love our cats.
especially black cats
Nonsense. In fact, I was going to comment that the know-it-all doctor should make sure that his cats do not appear in the background picture; they're a royal distraction during his presentation.
(Until recently, I had 2 cats and 2 dogs, the latter are by far man's best friend.)
Black cats lives matter.
@@CYMRUKID69 all cats lives matter! 😂
I am perfectly healthy. I came here for the cat. Thanks Doc. ❤😻❤💖
Thank you for posting these videos. This particular one caught my interest and confirm my good health. I have been consistent with exercise (my lifestyle)since my late 30ies and after 35 years of a regular regime of various exercise I can hook off the 6 criteria for good health. After moving to US in 2008 I found myself in a "dangerous" place, too much processed food etc. In Norway I could visit a restaurant twice a year, in US per week - at least. As you say : food as medicine and the other factors- imperative. Again, thank you. Love your cats.
Thank you for your kind words, Reidar.
Be safe you & family in Jesus Name🙏
Grow up! Can't you think for your self? Maybe you might want to thank the Easter Bunny and Santa while your at it.
I wonder if not being on medications is one of the key signs of health because, by definition, if you need medication you must not be healthy, or a recognition of the fact that medications themselves are detriments to good health.
I'm 60 and take blood pressure medication and a beta blocker for a heart arrhythmia. I ran 2 half marathons this week.
Am I not healthy?
@@glidercoach dash diet is good for high blood pressure. Check out York Cardiology a cardiologist out of England. Lifestyle changes can help you immensely no matter what age. I'm in my 60's with only little low on thyroid. Other than that no problems. Tired of people thinking because of being over 50 you're supposed to be sick.
@@glidercoach not at all. You take medication that keeps you alive. If you didn't have it you would die.
Laughter should be on your list, it reduces cortisol. You obviously understand this notion. Adding your cats to your serious video on health was a perfect example of how to have balance in our lives with stress reducers. Simply brilliant, and you earned my subscription.
Thanks for subscribing. Mental health is very important, thanks for mentioning it.
I laugh, therefore I live (without absolutely no apology to Descartes)

This is my favourite medical video! The advises are simple yet practical for non-medical based persons. Keep going Doc! You are doing great!!👍
Thank you very much!!!
Why is it that the best advice is often free and we do not take it?
I ❤️ those cats. They make me happy, a merry heart is good medicine. Thank you!
So true! Thank you very much.
Thanks Dr. Moran ! And I found out I got those 6 factors with normal level number considered to be healthy . Thanks God I fall in this category you just mentioned . I just retired 2 weeks ago from worked at Cedars Sinai medical center . I was working 23 yrs. as a clinical partner and never get sick . WholeFoods and Trader Joe’s are our food stores . My family and I never have so far any prescription medications ,instead we have our organic vegan multivitamins of according to age as maintenance . We’re taking also some important minerals like magnesium and zinc . We’re taking vitamin D 5,000 mg during winter and 2,000 mg. during summer because we get our natural source of vitamin D from sunshine . Since pandemic started ,we’ve been taking 1500 mg. an organic vitamin C. My husband is 56 yrs. old and I’m 59 1/2 years old , it’s been a part of my job to see to it everybody is healthy .
Love the kitties in the videos! Thanks for your information.

Thank you again Dr Moran. Are you Canadian originally ? Love the cats - Jag and the other one. I love that you don't make the videos too lengthy too. Good teaching method. Take care.
This guy is awesome. Nerdy and likeable. Thank you for your work.
Thank you Jake!
As always excellent video! Thank you! Greetings from Florida!
Thank you very much Kevin. I wish I was in Florida right now!
Thankyou doctor, you bear the title perfectly.
You make a lot of sense Doctor. This is great, thanks for sharing (oh and we like cats too).
I just discovered your channel. Your presentation is so refreshingly calm and easy to listen to in this shrill world we are in today. I knew it would be great when I saw the kitties.
Welcome aboard!
Actual content on TH-cam? Wonderful job Dr.! Subscribed, liked and will continue to view. Thank you Sir:)
Thank you very much David! and thanks for subscribing!
Dear Dr. Moran, thank you very much for this Video again. Very helpful Tips. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Most welcome!
I watched this 3 times already.
But I can't seem to get it to my head because of the cat.
Lol...
Same here! Close your eyes and listen one more time for the information. Then look at it one more time just to watch the cat. Lol
Don't watch... Just listen. 😁
I had to put away the screen, and just listen... 😊
Thanks for the videos Dr. & by the way, I Love your floofy cats! 😻
Glad you like them! I cannot keep them out of my videos we have too many!
Thanks for sharing your information dr....thanks again
Thank you for watching Ridzwan.
I'm 2 for 6 so I think I better get my will in order.
Thanks, Dr. Moran. I raised my HDL level from 36 to 54 by adding an avocado a day, as well as switching my breakfast from whole grain wheat or oatmeal to a mixture of chopped walnuts, pecans, almonds, coconut meat, blueberries or dried cranberries, a half an egg, and a semi-ripe banana with green tea. Of course, exercise is an important ingredient.
Oh gosh,! Dr Moran must have a cattery!! Just love to watch the beautiful creatures !! Thank you for the great video, I have learned a lot from your videos!! 🤗
Our pleasure Paula!
I'm replacing the news with your videos👍👍👍
Thanks for commenting Sergio.
Clear and simple criteria and message for every body thanks Dr Moran / to be healthy what should we do ? No medication !
Thank you Dr. Moran for another invaluable video . I also love your beautiful cats.
I am floored that only 12% of people were considered metabolically healthy. Before you brought up that slide, after looking at all 6 metrics, I was thinking to myself that the bar was set "low"... I am not bragging, nor do I feel that I am even close to the pinnacle of health, but wow, these metrics are easy to hit (speaking as someone in their 40s) if you take care of your diet and exercise (assuming there is not some underlying disease). I guess I am just floored at how unhealthy the population is in general.
The American dietary advice of the last 60 years has been exactly backwards, or perhaps up-side-down if you consider the Food Pyramid. Remove the oils from the top of the pyramid, then rotate the rest 180 degrees. That is what the pyramid should be. You can thank Keys and Kellogg for the state of current health, or lack thereof.
Sufficient vitamin D is key to surviving the current virus. High fructose corn syrup negatively affects vitamin D. Vitamin C may also be important; insulin blocks vitamin C. Of course, High Fructose corn syrup increases insulin.
I really enjoy your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in helping us stay healthy and not medicated.
Thank you very much Sandy!
Thank you for your valuable information. By the way...your cats are beautiful. 😻😻
Thank you for the informative video. One point which occurred to me was that absolute waist measurement could be supplemented by two other criteria: waist/hip ratio, to be healthy less than 0.9 for men and 0.85 for women; and a rough thumb rule that waist circumference should be less than half the height. I have read and heard on videos these criteria, they seem to be worthy of attention.
Different studies have use different criteria. BMI is often used instead. What would be ideal is a measure of fat mass and muscle mass and their ratio to total mass.
@@MedicinewithDrMoran thanks.
Not so sure about that... I have a small waist relative to my hip size. I'm a black male and have always been this way, even when I was a lanky teenager. In my 20s I started working out with weights and my legs and buttocks have become quite muscular while my waist has remained proportionately much smaller. It makes buying pants that fit so much harder! I usually have to buy pants 2 or 3 sizes bigger than my waist just so they fit my legs and butt. I have to buy cheaper pants so I can afford to have them tailored at the waist to fit! I don't even wear jeans anymore...
@@iseektruth64 but that's good. The ratio of waist to hips in your case would be even better, more safe. Waist/hip 0.9 means wsist should be at least 10% slimmer than hips. So if hips are 40 waist should be no more than 36. Waist/hip ratio of this is 0.9. If hips become bigger, 44, and waist remains 36 then waist/hip ratio becomes 0.81 which is less than 0.9, hence better.
@@deepakhiranandani6488 that's great news then!!
extremely informative, succinct, and valuable

Loved the kitties in the background!
Us too!
Love Your Video Dear Doctor! Very Encouraging. Keep up the good work. Also, Love your Cats. HI JAG! Nice To Meet You! Smiles.
I'm 80 years old and have never takien any medications. I also suggest having no fear of ANYTHING and being HAPPY.
Jag likes the Leaves on the Art!
Dr. i diagnose you as a "Cat Rancher" ...live long and well.
Good on 4 of them. Failed two of them. I take medication (cholesterol) and my blood pressure is usually about 130/90 which is a little bit high.
I don't think your blood pressure is high. The healthy level of blood pressure has been lowered over the last couple of decades and drug companies might be driving this change.
I failed two as well... My waist is a bit too larger and I take asthma and allergy meds.
I appreciate your knowledge, fellow cat lover.
Thank you Michelle!
Good advice. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful Tom.
Another interesting vid and and you have TWO cats!!🤙🤙🤙🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you, I will try to show some of my other cats who have been too camera shy in some upcoming videos!

Dr. Moran,
Thank You, for providing the 6 criteria to use, when assessing our health!
Just as in "Real Estate," it all comes down to "Location," with relation to, where a person should be, with respect to, the 6 Healthly Criteria Measures.
Now, People have the "Objective Standards," to strive towards, when living, a Healthy Lifestyle.
Be and Live Well!
Very informative Thank You!
My pleasure Trish I'm glad it was helpful!
Thank you , love the cats 👍🙏
Thank you Paul.
Good clip. Thanks
51. 6 for 6. Last physical my Dr said I was bad for business. LOL. I don't work out, stay active. Eat 1 meal a day for decades. Nearly same weight since 18 at 172. The difference between me and the rest of my family is I joined the military so needed to matakn a certain fitness level. Everyone from father grand parents, uncles, aunt, cousins siblings, etc... All overweight, diabetes, cancers, riddled with health issues. I am fighting the genetic links. The only common factor is everyone of them are overweight and became heavy early on which leads to many issues.
Yes I’m countering the norm for women in my family for over 50 I’m careful what I put in my mouth and not saying I’m old it’s just what happens…best of success on your journey
The cats are a nice touch!
Thank you Dr Moran, you inspired me to exercise, I am about to go for a long walk on the beach 💕 😄
That sounds beautiful. Have fun!
I love the cats ❤ And also I just discovered you through Joe Rogans TH-cam page and I absolutely love your knowledge and advice! You have no idea what a great service you are providing by educating
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for the video 🍻
I adore your cats 😺😺
Thankyou for the health info I love your kittys. I have a kitty her name is katy she is my only friend I have, when she passes it will be a hurtful day. I have lost other pets along my life and it never gets easy to loose a friend. Thankyou Dr. Moran be well.
I like to hear your advices about health but I love to see your cats😁
Thank you Maria.
This is a great video. Thanks alot.

A doctor who likes cats usually has more credibility with me, true here with Dr. Moran.
Nonsense; his cats in the show are a huge distraction!!!
Nonsense, his cats in the show are a huge distraction.
Is it possible to discontinue blood pressure meds? For instance if you lose weight, is it reasonable to decrease BP meds and see if BP is still OK, and possibly even stop BP meds, under DR’s care of course.
I love your videos, and especially your cats! Video production quality has improved a lot since you started your channel. Your videos are a great service to humanity!
It is absolutely possible to get off blood pressure medications. Improving one's diet, losing weight and exercise will allow this. Monitoring your blood pressure at home is important as it allows patients and their healthcare providers to adjust blood pressure medications as needed. Thank you for your kind words about my channel. I am trying to improve the quality of the videos, it is a work in progress.
Thank you for your comment. I do have a video on blood pressure monitoring at home for the doctors visit, if you are interested.
Dr. Moran thanks for this. I noticed LDL was not included on the list to look at when assesing the health of a person. Does it mean to say that LDL is not a good indication to predict heart health?
LDL is definitely helpful. They chose not to use this. And used other lipid markers instead.
@@MedicinewithDrMoran my triglyceride is within normal but LDL is above normal . Should I be worried? Ty

Some people have no choice but to take medication, I have epilepsy, I have no choice or I will have seizures around the clock and wouldn't be able to work, I wish all the time that I didn't have seizures and didn't have to take medication.
Try vegan food for 3 months. No cooking. Eat them raw. Like salads. Organic better.
@@AndyDufresne11 Going vegan is not healthy. Been there. Neither is going vegetarian, as I was for years. Ended up with health issues. I started eating lean chicken (locally farm raised) and noticed a big difference. Animal products are extremely good for you if you choose dairy from grass fed cows, or purchasing your meat from local farmers where they were fed a natural diet and humanely treated.
@@GenXer333 you are wrong dude. You can maybe get a bit protein deficient at first but you can manage your protein intake through proper plants that provide more of it. Other than that shifting from animal based diet is easy and healthy. I had many blockages earlier but when i started vegetarian diet and just milk from a farm bred cow my life changed drastically. I feel better, more energetic, i am free of all problems that i had earlier. You can think whatever you want but it is my life experience.
@@AndyDufresne11 I'm glad it's working for you. Everyone's body reacts differently, and has different needs, so I was sharing my personal experience, and others who were vegan at one time as well. But again, if you feel great on it, then you must be giving your body exactly what it needed. 👍🏼
I have several vegan relatives and friends and try are extremely healthy. Sometimes the way you prepare your foods and how you eat them may also make a difference. And yes everyone's body is different.
like you n your dog.so amazing.
LOL

@@MedicinewithDrMoran my Mom likes cats, on her pillow cases she has pictures of cats & she has a calendar with cats on it. My Mom is 82 years old & she had double pneumonia when she was 27, do you reckon she might have a bit of immunity against Covid if she had double pneumonia when she was 27 years old?
Great vid
Though it was not this way at the beginning of the pandemic, I feel we now are in a syndemic where the co-morbidities themselves are the driving factor and the virus is being the lessor opportunistic factor in the situation.
Thanks for the appropriate word, syndemic - the aggregation of two or more concurrent or sequential epidemics or disease clusters in a population with biological interactions, which exacerbate the prognosis and burden of disease. I fully agree. Another doctor said that you could die "of" Covid or "with" Covid - major difference.
Great video - just plain "being healthy" is so often overlooked.
Thanks Erica.
