I'd love to know more about your experience. I wonder if you'd share your symptoms & diagnoses, how you incorporated changes, what they were, how quickly you saw or felt results, and how you're maintaining this lifestyle change. How is your quality of life now compared to what it was? Thanks for sharing, if you can.
@@georgiannaneller1394 In 2013 I was on a Paleo type program. It was great for losing weight but it made me hurt because of gout from all the meat. I accepted the pain because I was losing weight. I found a video from McDougall that had paleo in the title. I thought he was a paleo MD. I got very very mad at John McDougall . But I kept watching. Starch based lifestyle ? Heresy? I told myself I will try it. Even with some cheating on his plan my Arthritis went away. My asthma went away 95% and I quit all my meds for gout. After 2 years I stopped the small cheating. Without the cheating it was even better. I can eat 4K calories of starch and vegetables a day and not gain weight . Thank you Dr McDougall from getting me off Paleo and giving me a diet that I can thrive on
@@jeffreydrhodes You eat well, have lost weight, feel well and you have no more pain. Miraculous! I'm going to do what you're doing, James. Thanks for sharing a bit of your story with me. Congratulations on your healing success.
@@georgiannaneller1394 I do need to get back to 2000 calories. I eat 4 k a day now. I don’t gain weight but I don’t lose it either. However I keep losing fat. I am at 250 lb currently at 6 3 my goal is 200 lbs which would be a bmi of 25
@@jeffreydrhodes James, it's a wonderful healing journey you're on. I want to heal myself, overall, too, which is my main goal. Losing weight would be a bonus.
Dr. Mcdougall has changed my life and I now promote his teaching where ever I can . I have my arthuritis stoped and I think reversed now and at 68 I take no meds on a daily basis.
Dr. McDougall, Your nearly 50 years of helping people to understand their Health situation, and most practically how they can take the remedy for almost ALL chronic diseases into their own hands, and heal themselves should at the very least grant you a Nobel Prize. The accolades that you have received over the course of a most important career, are truly justified. You have helped to improve the lives of so many thousands of individuals, and even complete families, who have made the concerted choice to drink in the sound information that you have so generously provided. On behalf of a most grateful following, WE THANK YOU SIR. Be well. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
Dr. McDougall is awesome. His work is a large reason I decided to go on a low fat vegan diet. The health benefits I have experienced confirm what he teaches.
I did raw vegan 80/10/10 for 2 years… I felt better and then shot hit the fan and I was more sick than ever! It’s taken me 5 years to reverse the damage of a vegan diet 😢
This was the BEST explanation of Autoimmunity I have heard and I have Hashi's so this was great helped me to understand it's not in my head!! Thank you Chef AJ and Dr McDougall!!
I have Hashimoto's, too, and many other illnesses. I must say, out of all the research I've done on Autoimmune disease, this is, by far, the best presentation I've ever heard. It's clear, direct, informative and hopeful. I love Dr McDougall. 💕
just so everyone knows, caffeine and coffee cause leaky gut as well. I developed autoimmune disease when i was already whole food plant based but drinking excessive coffee.
@@ashleycerullo1456 Good Grief!😥 That has to be sooo dang discouraging for you!! We are all wired just a bit different one to another. What works wonders for some, may backfire in another person. Hope you get feeling a bit better?💜
Thank you one more time chef AJ for his great theme and conference, I love the work of John McDougall, and he has really helped me through the last 8 years to understand better ‘the food that makes us sick or healthy’ and this one presentation is even more to the point, he never stops polishing his work, with great slides too and really sharp Content all the way through! Love 💕
Best pod cast l ever heard. Thank you so much now we can help our 8 year old grandson to get rid of his auto immune disease, that his doctor here in N. Ireland couldn’t get to the bottom of.

Brilliant lecture Dr John McDougall! May I share this with my Facebook group friends at Plant Based EZ U r now Kidney Nutrition Plant Based and, the ESSELTARIAN Diet to Reverse Diseases
Dr McDougall we will never get tired of listening to you answering questions. You're very thorough...pig thyroid...microbione....tissues being attacked because of gluten flours, celiac disease etc. Besides you are so funny at times answering questions specially when Mary is next to you.
I never had a bit of trouble with my stomach or digestion. Until I underwent chemo. Glad to be cancer-free of course, but .... And Plants do NOT work for me. Makes my digestion Horrible.😱 I love veggies, but they do Not love me back. But I notice that when I eat mostly Meat my digestion and energy levels improve Drastically! ...funny how we are all different!??🤔
Excellent & thank you for another great video. I always get a good scoff about whole foods plant based diet, from my ancient mother, who eats whatever she wants and has zilch health issues.
What a fabulous, awesome man he was, I had forgotten this, I am following the vegan diet but not 100% but still better, and I am not likely to swallow their nonesense about eating meat, the ketogenic diet, but I need to watch over and over because I forgot, RIP, we never die, we are immortal!🎉🎉🎉🎉

How do we explain the incidence of autoimmune in vegetarian (not vegan). Is dairy enough of a culprit? Because it's a real menace amongst vegetarians in India.
All the vegan Drs say that only the vegan live longer, not the meat eater and the vegetarian (they eat eggs, fish, dairy). That’s my take on this video: he says at the beginning that meat cause gut disbiose and then the body attack itself.
@@jobevilaque8465 i believe that. I ate too much cheese and some yogurt for too lo g and I got pituitary adenoma. Not cancer but it a major problem . It a grow.
Generally, the information that Dr. McDougall presents is consistently clear and well articulated. But I’m confused about one thing: If plant/starched-based foods are beneficial to human nutrition and the biome, why then are grains (wheat, barley, rye) said to trigger autoimmune diseases (i.e., leading to ‘leaky gut’ and illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis, etc.) If, according to Dr. McDougall, autoimmune illnesses are chiefly caused by animal proteins getting into the bloodstream via a permeable gut lining, and if a primarily starch-based diet is healthy for humans, why is gluten toxicity also said to cause an autoimmune response? Is this not inconsistent with what the good doctor has been saying about the health benefits of grains and other starchy foods? If one consumes, say 1kg (2+lbs) of good quality, minimally processed, whole grain, stone-ground wheat, barley or rye bread a day, in addition to a substantial intake of leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, other whole starches and tubers, pulses and legumes, fruits, and a few nuts and seeds (to the exclusion of all highly refined oils, and all animal derived proteins and fats) could the gluten from cereal grains still prove harmful for people without a predisposition to gluten sensitivity (e.g., celiac disease)? I’m perplexed...
Yea this one had perplexed me too. I have celiac disease and the best I have ever felt in my life was when I did a whole food, paleo ketogenic diet. I had a good amount of nose to tale animal products in conjunction with loads of healthy greens and probiotics and veggies - it was the only time consistently in my life that my energy was high and my bowels were completely normal - no brain fog, no pain, no bloating. I consistently felt that way for multiple years. With covid, I fell off the band wagon, gained a bunch of weight, started eating crap again and my health has taken a turn again - so this time I decided to try a different whole food approach - this time more plant based. I've still been gluten free, but over the last few months my main protein source has been organic legumes.. And my gut is NOT happy. Not at all. I know beans can be a gaseous issue for most people, so I've been trying to hold out and see if my microbiome will eventually stabalize, but after 4 months of this, I'm ready to go back to paleo keto. My gut can't handle the beans, pseudograins and starches. It feels very similar to eating wheat - super bloated all the time, super gassy, fatigue, and now I'm developing aches and pains in my joints and ankles. I've been reading about other people with celiac/leaky gut having similar issues trying to go plant based. I don't think the issue is animal products. I think its more an issue of conventionally raised animal products and not having the correct ratio of animal proteins and fats to high quality vegetables - Also, not everyone is built the same. I have friends that a plant based diet is working wonders for So, I hope this info is helpful
@blobmonster9494 that's a good suggestion to try, not guaranteed though, some lectins resist heat, plus sensitivity to each lectin varies from person to person. For example, even gluten free corn cause serious reaction, worse than gluten, to some individuals.
On microbiome, Erica Sonnenburg PhD would be a good guest on this channel. Her lab at Stanford focuses on microbiome and has done a lot of work which supports a high fiber plant based diet. She could make a good up to date presentation on diet and microbiome.
The gluten in wheat is the same shape as the molecule in the thyroid hormone, thru molecular mimicry the antibodies start attacking the thyroid, thus autoimmune thyroiditis or hashimotos.

I love your passion and the last 1/3 of this passionate and research based talk is so important. And I love when you talk with all your passion and knowledge of what is possible as the Real solution. - the conclusion a a healthy low fat starch based vegan diet and for some also gluten free 🎶🍀🎵💚🐸
Great information ..eye opening about autoimmune diseases origin and it's cure ...no super speciality doctors giving this knowledge about vegan diet for curing Autoimmune diseases ...thank you lot Dr McDiugull ...I admire your nacked truth about get rid of this lifelong killing diseases.by simply changing diet..lots of regards from Chennai.India 🙏
The only thing I would add is if you have the best diet but are extremely stressed then that depletes good Bacteria and causes leaky gut. Working on stress management is just as important as diet
I heard in another podcast (maybe Tony Horton?) that lower testosterone may make women more susceptible to autoimmune issues than men. Something to consider.
Can Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) be treated effectively with the same diet? Also, why is PMR seemingly never included in such lists of autoimmune diseases as the list here at the 1 minute mark?
I don't think anyone will be able to help you unless you provide a food journal, maybe you can contact dr. mc Dougall via his webside to see if he can help? Or dr. Klaper, dr. Fuhrman or dr. Barnard (via physicians committee youtube channel).
@@sandyduncan6167 You can still eat unhealthy whilst being vegan as vegan only tells you what you don't consume (animal products). Eating plant based doesn't make one bulletproof either, but it's a lot more healthy than an omnivorous diet. Science supports this.
I have lupus and have found that diet is certainly important but managing stress is even more critical. I also don't think think every person with autoimmunity need to stop dairy and gluten
i have an autoimmune disease ,hypothyroidism, prediabetes, high blood pressure and gastroparesis. i'm on medications that cause weight gain but help with pain control. i am having symptoms of blood sugar irregularities. i have tried to eat healthy but consuming fruits and other sugars cause rapid weight gain. any suggestions on what I should be eating? i just bought 4 of your books.
AJ thank you, thank you, thank you. Doctors such as Dr. McDougal are redirecting our very ill medical system onto a path for which it was created, to help people to heal. You are being sent much love energy🙏⚛️💝
My family have been ovo-lacto vegetarian for 30 years. My son is in his 20s and has never has animal hot dogs or sausage. He has Hypothyroidism, Addison's and Celiac. Dr. McDougall only gave the cause of Eating hot dogs and sausages. I have been following Dr. McDougall for 30 years and I respect him but an baffled to this.
He must eat wfpb, no animals and no animal by-products, so, no dairy, no eggs, no milk, no butter...also, should not have any oils, salt or sugar. Look for true wfpb recipes. It might take time for the body to repair the damage but I believe it will. Good luck.
@@georgiannaneller1394 no salt in the diet is detrimental. We need to be eating a balanced whole food diet and not packaged, processed foods. I did no dairy, no sugar, no salt, no meat for a little over 2 years and got more sick than I ever was! I started eating keto and got a little better.
Hypothyroidism is related to leaky gut. Addison's disease and Celiac, as I recall, are related to the gut, too. Little tears in the gut caused by proteins allow an entry point for those little particles of proteins & bacteria to get into the bloodstream, where they don't belong. Your immune system goes after these foreign invaders and is overwhelmed...at some point, confusing your proteins with those, thus, attacking your body and areas where these foreign proteins & particles colonize. I believe the way to heal these problems is to heal the gut. So, no proteins, no animal products or by-products, no casein from dairy and no gluten...and, preferably, no salt, no oil, no sugar...no chemical preservatives such as those in processed foods. Of course, anyone can eat however they like. I'd suggest that each person do their own research and decide for themselves what may be the healthiest way to live. Check out Dr Caldwell Esselstyn, Dr John McDougall, Dr Neal Barnard, the pioneering work of Dr Abram Hoffer, Dr Linus Pauling, Dr Frederick Klenner, Dr Hugh Riordan, etc. You can see their research & work chronicled on Dr Andrew Saul's site, doctoryourself.com and on the Orthomolecular Medicine site. Good luck...wishing you all the best.
Thank you Chef AJ 🎉❤you always have great company on your programs😊 also I am seriously making changes in my life , totally inspired by this wonderful program!!! Thank you so much!!! 😊❤🎉I have cut so much trash from my life! I was really never a big meat eater and neither were my children! Mostly chicken! And that was baked and also fish! Now I am taking it to the next level ✌️💃🎉🎊❤️stay fabulous beautiful lady! Always looking Fly!!! 😊🤗you know Good!!!😂
I have scoliosis, as well. I keep my weight down so as not to put further strain on my spine and joints. You may wish to consider watching TH-cam channels of physical therapists that show how to do stretches and exercises for scoliosis relief (Austin Goh, Brad and Bob, etc). Typically, only a surgery could possibly straighten the spine, but you need to research the pros and cons of surgery. I decided against surgery years ago, and I am glad I did. One person I follow on TH-cam, and really get benefit from, is Austin Goh. He has short 3 - 5 minute videos for scoliosis relief (and many other easy to do excersizes). Hope that helps you and best wishes for your relief!
Hello, Loving your show. When is it on daily or weekly. I’m 62 and I think I have been diagnosed wrong. I’m getting ready to move over to OHSU. My body has been attacking me for the last 10 plus years I only have one kidney now and my gfr is 23. My Dr. said he doesn’t do anything till it’s at 15. I have been educating myself. Plus I have RA autoimmune and chronic anemia You name it I have had it all. Cerebral aneurysm. Lots of organ surgeries and the last one was my hematologist after all the cancer tests he finally said my body is eating my red blood cells. It just goes on and on. Thank you for your knowledge. Everything you have said I agree with or have had done. About 15 years ago my husband and I went on the South Beach diet. Is that still a good diet.
I know that I have a high intolerance to cow, in all forms. Except, maybe, leather apparel and accessories. When I eat pizza, if I have not had any beef or milk for a long time, I can be relatively okayish, except that I develop more of a desire to have other related things, plus sugar, soda, think about drinking alcohol and smoking, etc. If I have accidentally ingested even a little cheese or milk (such as finding out a "vegan" product has milk solids in it) when I am already feeling poorly, I get severe cramps, bloating, etc. But, at any point, if I wanted to go completely insane, all I'd have to do is eat quite a bit of cheese for a few days in a row OR drink a small glass of milk, just the once. At that point, I would quite possibly start half-waking up and seeing weird things in the closet, I would hear voices yelling my name and waking me up, hear loud knocking noises or the ringing of a phone, etc. People have told me that means I am insane and need to be on meds. Yet, when they take LSD, peyote, meth or mushrooms and have odd, similar experiences, they know it is because they took a substance that caused their body to go into a state of health that caused the odd experiences. I tell them, "No. It means milk is bad for me and I should work hard at avoiding it." Or, in the case of people who think I am hearing demons and that makes me psychic I say, "Well, then, if milk makes me psychic, I should avoid it. I don't want to hear demons." I mean, either way, I don't want to have those experiences and my body obviously hates milk. It's a little sad, only because of cheese toast, but I can deal. Where I mess up is in using packaged things that have too much on their label or deciding "Well, the milk (or HFCS) is real far down on the list, so I should be okay ..ish" and that's what I have to stop doing.
What is the name of his Facebook page I think I need some more of him on a regular basis 😂sounds like he’s covering some situations i am dealing like the possibility of leaky gut!!! What’s good for that?
Mickey Mouse micky mouse !!!!don’t forget she had a very cute co Star Frankie Avalon?!!! I don’t know if that was his name or not ! But I wanted to be her to be his girlfriend 😂😂😂 lol

Thanks. On sulfur (10 min) I wonder about garlic and onions which have high sulfur content. Maybe the molecular form is important.
This is plant derived which is very different from animal products
Such great information!
Glad it was helpful!
Great information ..eye opening about autoimmune diseases origin and it's cure ...no super speciality doctors giving this knowledge about vegan diet for curing Autoimmune diseases ...thank you lot Dr McDiugull ...I admire your nacked truth about get rid of this lifelong killing diseases.by simply changing diet..lots of regards from Chennai.India 🙏
If it is true how can bone broth heal leaky guts or Carnivore diet heal auto immune disease?
Gelatin can heal leaky gut... God gave us all these things. Shouldn't reject all because it comes from animals.
Thank you very much wonderful just wonderful!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My daughter is only 28 has been a vegan for 14 years and now is headed towards Hashimoto’s what is up with that?
Maybe stress is the reason
Vegan doesn’t mean low fat whole food plant based. You can be a fat vegan with loads of oils and fried processed food
The only thing I would add is if you have the best diet but are extremely stressed then that depletes good Bacteria and causes leaky gut. Working on stress management is just as important as diet
Yah, she has to go low fat, no oils and see if it helps.
I heard in another podcast (maybe Tony Horton?) that lower testosterone may make women more susceptible to autoimmune issues than men. Something to consider.
Can Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) be treated effectively with the same diet? Also, why is PMR seemingly never included in such lists of autoimmune diseases as the list here at the 1 minute mark?
Excellent!!
Thank you that was excellent again ! I learned so much !
I’ve been whole food plant based and gluten free for 6 years. Why am I dealing with several autoimmune diseases? I don’t understand.
I don't think anyone will be able to help you unless you provide a food journal, maybe you can contact dr. mc Dougall via his webside to see if he can help? Or dr. Klaper, dr. Fuhrman or dr. Barnard (via physicians committee youtube channel).
I went vegan and developed hashimotos while being vegan. I dont believe being vegan is the cure all people say it is.
@@sandyduncan6167 You can still eat unhealthy whilst being vegan as vegan only tells you what you don't consume (animal products). Eating plant based doesn't make one bulletproof either, but it's a lot more healthy than an omnivorous diet. Science supports this.
He has a free class online. I had question and email them, I got a response right away.
I have lupus and have found that diet is certainly important but managing stress is even more critical. I also don't think think every person with autoimmunity need to stop dairy and gluten
i have an autoimmune disease ,hypothyroidism, prediabetes, high blood pressure and gastroparesis. i'm on medications that cause weight gain but help with pain control. i am having symptoms of blood sugar irregularities. i have tried to eat healthy but consuming fruits and other sugars cause rapid weight gain. any suggestions on what I should be eating? i just bought 4 of your books.
Working in psych many of my bpd patients had these often?
AJ thank you, thank you, thank you. Doctors such as Dr. McDougal are redirecting our very ill medical system onto a path for which it was created, to help people to heal. You are being sent much love energy🙏⚛️💝
Thank you!
You are a ⭐️in my eyes AJ. I am honored that you acknowledged my comment🪄🎁
hi Dr md ..am trying to understand ! thank you for sharing ....from trinidad ...in Caribbean...
My family have been ovo-lacto vegetarian for 30 years. My son is in his 20s and has never has animal hot dogs or sausage. He has Hypothyroidism, Addison's and Celiac. Dr. McDougall only gave the cause of Eating hot dogs and sausages. I have been following Dr. McDougall for 30 years and I respect him but an baffled to this.
He must eat wfpb, no animals and no animal by-products, so, no dairy, no eggs, no milk, no butter...also, should not have any oils, salt or sugar. Look for true wfpb recipes. It might take time for the body to repair the damage but I believe it will. Good luck.
@@georgiannaneller1394 no salt in the diet is detrimental. We need to be eating a balanced whole food diet and not packaged, processed foods. I did no dairy, no sugar, no salt, no meat for a little over 2 years and got more sick than I ever was! I started eating keto and got a little better.
Hypothyroidism is related to leaky gut. Addison's disease and Celiac, as I recall, are related to the gut, too. Little tears in the gut caused by proteins allow an entry point for those little particles of proteins & bacteria to get into the bloodstream, where they don't belong. Your immune system goes after these foreign invaders and is overwhelmed...at some point, confusing your proteins with those, thus, attacking your body and areas where these foreign proteins & particles colonize. I believe the way to heal these problems is to heal the gut. So, no proteins, no animal products or by-products, no casein from dairy and no gluten...and, preferably, no salt, no oil, no sugar...no chemical preservatives such as those in processed foods. Of course, anyone can eat however they like. I'd suggest that each person do their own research and decide for themselves what may be the healthiest way to live. Check out Dr Caldwell Esselstyn, Dr John McDougall, Dr Neal Barnard, the pioneering work of Dr Abram Hoffer, Dr Linus Pauling, Dr Frederick Klenner, Dr Hugh Riordan, etc. You can see their research & work chronicled on Dr Andrew Saul's site, doctoryourself.com and on the Orthomolecular Medicine site. Good luck...wishing you all the best.
The pre-recorded video in the presentation is too quiet. Unable to hear them when using headphones. The rest of the presentation was great!
Do you recommend a functional medicine doctor for thyroid conditions?

Doctor…your suggestion for underactive thyroid what diet plant based or meat eating
Do you think my scoliosis and degenerative spine will be corrected by following McDougall. I really don't want surgery. I am 40 lbs overweight
I have scoliosis, as well.
I keep my weight down so as not to put further strain on my spine and joints.
You may wish to consider watching TH-cam channels of physical therapists that show how to do stretches and exercises for scoliosis relief (Austin Goh, Brad and Bob, etc).
Typically, only a surgery could possibly straighten the spine, but you need to research the pros and cons of surgery.
I decided against surgery years ago, and I am glad I did.
One person I follow on TH-cam, and really get benefit from, is Austin Goh.
He has short 3 - 5 minute videos for scoliosis relief (and many other easy to do excersizes).
Hope that helps you and best wishes for your relief!
how do I get all the little bugs out of broccoli

I have had MS for at least 26 years, but it is not in my brain, it is in my spinal cord down my back.
If we had stronger stomach acid would that acid pervent the animal protein from getting into us.
Brilliant 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What do you recommend for hyperthyroidism?
I took a thyroid glandular and now I have Graves disease
Annette was my first love, too. LOL. (How easily manipulated we are.)
Hi chef AJ💖🙏🏻💖
Is RLS a dairy allergy?
Can this cure alopecia?
Hello, Loving your show. When is it on daily or weekly.
I’m 62 and I think I have been diagnosed wrong. I’m getting ready to move over to OHSU. My body has been attacking me for the last 10 plus years I only have one kidney now and my gfr is 23. My Dr. said he doesn’t do anything till it’s at 15. I have been educating myself. Plus I have RA autoimmune and chronic anemia You name it I have had it all. Cerebral aneurysm. Lots of organ surgeries and the last one was my hematologist after all the cancer tests he finally said my body is eating my red blood cells. It just goes on and on. Thank you for your knowledge. Everything you have said I agree with or have had done.
About 15 years ago my husband and I went on the South Beach diet. Is that still a good diet.
No, I do not think the South Beach diet is a good diet and never have.
Frankie and Annette, wasn't that about 5 years after the Dale Evans craze.
Hi all
I know that I have a high intolerance to cow, in all forms. Except, maybe, leather apparel and accessories. When I eat pizza, if I have not had any beef or milk for a long time, I can be relatively okayish, except that I develop more of a desire to have other related things, plus sugar, soda, think about drinking alcohol and smoking, etc. If I have accidentally ingested even a little cheese or milk (such as finding out a "vegan" product has milk solids in it) when I am already feeling poorly, I get severe cramps, bloating, etc. But, at any point, if I wanted to go completely insane, all I'd have to do is eat quite a bit of cheese for a few days in a row OR drink a small glass of milk, just the once. At that point, I would quite possibly start half-waking up and seeing weird things in the closet, I would hear voices yelling my name and waking me up, hear loud knocking noises or the ringing of a phone, etc.
People have told me that means I am insane and need to be on meds. Yet, when they take LSD, peyote, meth or mushrooms and have odd, similar experiences, they know it is because they took a substance that caused their body to go into a state of health that caused the odd experiences.
I tell them, "No. It means milk is bad for me and I should work hard at avoiding it." Or, in the case of people who think I am hearing demons and that makes me psychic I say, "Well, then, if milk makes me psychic, I should avoid it. I don't want to hear demons." I mean, either way, I don't want to have those experiences and my body obviously hates milk. It's a little sad, only because of cheese toast, but I can deal.
Where I mess up is in using packaged things that have too much on their label or deciding "Well, the milk (or HFCS) is real far down on the list, so I should be okay ..ish" and that's what I have to stop doing.

So many trusting people who believe in HOSPITALS AND DOCTORS and the highly respected research institutions….
Animal products are bad, but gluten (and other plant proteins) are OK?
If gluten intolerant then obviously no - plant proteins yes
Hyperthyroidism also
He missed coeliac disease but yeah.
