    I just realized I inadvertently omitted the title for the question "How Much Calcium Do We Really Need?" at the 1:00:51. I added it to the subtitles and in the process cleaned up some of the closed caption, as quick as I could, so it's not perfect, but it's profoundly better.

    So Inspiring. I become vegan in 2010 at 33 years old. My menstrual flow decreased a month later and nearly no cramps. I've been eating organic tofu every day for the past 4 months and since then I haven't had any PMS - no breast and belly tenderness, no discomfort, no cramps, no dry mouth - I get my period and I don't even realise. It's such a relief for any woman

    Despite what many people have said, I have found that for myself, one can still overeat, even in a whole food plant-based diet. This has been the best move I have ever made. I went whole food plant-based 9 years ago and my blood pressure, diabetes, eczema, congestion, brainfog, hypothyroidism, and obesity became subjects of the past. Not until I also controlled the overeating did my weight finally go into the healthy BMI range.

      I LOVE time restricted intermittent fasting. It's been a life changer for me. Not eating when it's dark. The first day I went an entire day without eating, just water, and I felt funky, detoxing. But the next day it was a breeze and I ate within an 8 hour window. The 3rd day I didn't want to even eat and felt great so I ate late in the day. But, I adjusted it down to getting the bulk of my calories in the earlier part of the day, around 10 am to 6pm window. Some days I tend to easily eat within a shorter window without even trying. I sleep better than ever when I do this consistently.

      @@VeganLinked Awesome! I have it under control now, but for years, even after I went vegan I was a compulsive overeater. I ate until I got sick and kept eating. It was very much like Dr.Klaper explained when he said he couldn't ever get enough food. Since I dialed in portion sizes and regained control over my eating, I dropped another 40 plus pounds. Also going raw has helped tremendously. I still have to maximize the nutritional values in order to stay in control. I also think it is largely psychological.

Early November, I started controlling my portions and counting my calories, and I dropped 10 pounds, but the holidays came and I started to overeat and indulge in the standard holiday treats but they were still vegan and gluten-free (because I have a wheat allergy). I gained all 10 pounds back. I'm starting back up again with portions control and counting calories now that the holidays are over. I'm confident that I will be able to lose the weight, so I can be at a healthy BMI range.

    I ended up with acute gastritis a couple months ago. My doc gave me 4 medications and said to just avoid foods that bothered my stomach. I also have inflammatory arthritis, Severe osteoporosis and menopausal. I couldn't sleep thru the night without waking up 3-4 times. I was so frustrated! I said to myself no doctor is going to take better care of me than me!! So, I started doing ballet again after 35 years and started researching what I could do to heal myself. Went whole food plant based. Been eating this way for 6 weeks and now I sleep thru the night and I'm off all 4 medications for gastritis!! Feel better than I have in years! I'm hoping to eventually to get off my arthritis medication and when I go in for my next dexa scan in June I'm hoping to see improvement with the osteoporosis also. This has been the best move I've ever made!!!

    His story about the husband and wife rings so true for me. My husband’s reply to me expressing a desire for our family to be plant based was, “ok, we can eat more like that, but I’m not giving up my steak.” I said, “ok,” and moved on with my health recovery. Recently he’s expressed his concern about worsening health problems that he is having. He wants to go 100% wfpb like me to see if it helps him. Yay! It only took 8 years. Maybe because I’m now officially in remission from cancer? I don’t know, but I’ll take the win. I know I’ll get more years with him. 💕

      My aunt is a retired medical doctor now afflicted with diabetes, hypertension, lupus, and dementia. None of the doctors she has seen have offered any solutions other than continue the medications and let her eat whatever she likes, which is mostly meat and dairy. I am now trying to treat her myself with a Whole Food Plant Based diet, but its an uphill battle. I am not a medical doctor. The irony of me treating a veteran doctor leaves me speechless. I hope the typical medical profession can heal itself of its own affliction of ignorance.

    Got to love this man, he really cares and has had the courage to put it into action way ahead of his time. Was fascinated by the idea that some people's bodies might have turned off their own production of nutrients like carnitine due to being fed meat constantly from an early age. This might explain why some vegans who quit do feel differently when they first consume animal flesh, and also those who feel unwell without meat at first who get used to it over time. Remarkable idea. Grateful for all the information you provide so often Dr Klapper. 🙏

Organic juicing since 73 a Gary Null student and now moving towards vegetarianism. I only consumed chicken & wild salmon however I nevered liked the thought of having an chicken in my abdomen. I remember hearing a vegetarian say on w.b.a.i radio that our stomach was a graveyard for dead caucuses. So this is my time to become a no meat & dairy eater. Stay strong Blessings.

    Thank you Dr. Klaper for making this video and teaching us things that we might of not thought about. You are absolutely right when you stated that by changing your ways your health will get better. As a new retiree I now have the time to do better and I had noticed a big difference in my own life. I still eat a little bit of chicken, fish but mainly plant based foods. My BP is normal, cholesterol went down 51 points and I had a sluggish liver and thyroid and everything is normal now due to everything that you are talking about. Our bodies are magical and they do heal without drugs, the world needs more doctors like you, THANK YOU for sharing the information with all of us. God Bless!

    Speaking of ignorance of medical professionals... Before I changed my diet and went on my own journey of researching, learning and discovering plant based diet, I was told to eat red meat, heart, liver, etc. to improve low iron levels in addition to iron ampules. 🥴 Enough to say it did NOT work. And I vomitted the hell out of liver that I once ate back then in combo with those ampules.
    Years later and years of WFPBD, my blood looks amazing, all perfect values! 😊

What's amazing is that students notice things like empathy, kindness and gentleness, including the nonleather shoes. They don't judge but ask questions. Not everyone of course, but many.

    I'm 53 and started a totally vegan diet at age 17...so I never have been sick. Ive never wanted to go back to eating meat and I always hated dairy. Dairy used to give me migraines and mucous and sinus issues. I also avoid gluten and grains altogether and all processed vegan foods. Eat mostly raw and I dont take supplements on any regular basis. I am told I must be 30 and I'm 53! I have no heart or blood pressure issues even though I spent 13 years addicted to opiates and 3 years shooting heroin and 7 years smoking cigarettes and drank alcohol off and on socially and so my diet has kept me healthy despite all my other mistakes!!

      You may want to try time restricted intermittent fasting; only eating within an 8 hour or less window and not when it's dark getting the bulk of your calories earlier in the day. And be sure to keep it as whole food plant as possible with an emphasis on a variety of beans and greens, as well as grains, fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts, and seeds. You probably know all this though :) Just my 2 cents, I'm not a doctor though... if you can see a plant based doctor that's the best!

    At around 10 min into this video he explains his change in relationship with leather. I'm excited to hear him explain it this way as it is similar to my experience. Humans are animals and consciousness is not unique to our species (look it up).
    When I see leather on products it disgusts me as it would be no different than having human skin leather. The same goes for food. I am squeamish as it is, and once my perspective started seeing the flesh of animals the same as the flesh of humans, seeing a burger or steak looks like human flesh on a plate and it is gross.
    Also, I stopped using terms like "meat" and "leather" as they are used for our minds to justify its use. Just call it what it is, flesh or skin of a dead animal.

      I agree with you 100 %.

Just leave them alone! They deserve to be free from being viewed as commodities.

      Lots of “things” are called by different names when they are changed. Grain gets turned into flour, or masa, avocados turn into guacamole, tomatoes turn into sauce, paste or ketchup.
      I get what you’re saying, but I think if more of us stay centered rather than making a hard turn, more people will convert. You get more flies with sugar than vinegar.
