I told my dad about Dr Barnard this summer and he’s been eating so well (almost vegan) ever since - lots of greens, beans, fresh fruit. He eliminated butter, meats, yet still uses dairy in his coffee.
He just came back from seeing his doctor and his A1C levels are totally normal!!! I cannot thank you enjoy❤️
Great that your Dad is so well! I have tried a few plant milks in my coffee. My favourite is walnut milk. Easy to make and tastes delicious!
Thank you so much!
I’ll give it a try - he wasn’t a fan of almond milk like me haha
I'm very pleased that the good word is spreading for your family! 🙏🏼
I love cream in my coffee and as a vegan, I chose Silk Vegan creamer available in most grocery stores. Maybe your dad can try it.
That sounds perfect! Thank you! We’re so grateful for Dr Barnard🤍
Dr Bernard has the kind of energy I would buy ice in the winter from him. He’s so kind and caring💖 such a special man
I dont have, need,
or want a doctor but if I did........I would choose one just like Dr. B.
I take 2 tablespoons extra v irgin olive oil firs t thing before coffee and dont eat till 2-4 pm. Never felt better at age 70. Intermittant fasting works amazkng for me.
I’m transitioning into vegan foods and believe me I never felt better! My kids are excited too. We love you Dr Neal! You completely changed our lives!
@Island Man keto kills people, you're lying blatantly
Of course!!!
@Island Man nice bs story kid go to your xbox now
Plant base is better!!
You are beautiful 😍
This is, besides Esselstyn and Greger, my all time favorite vegan doctor. He is so pleasant to listen to. Love him.
After eating a whole food plant-based diet for several months and I go to like a family reunion and eat the traditional sweet potato pie with lots of butter and key lime pie I've gone home and felt horribly dizzy and sick to my stomach and actually went to the doctors. It resolved after 24 hours of eating very very cautiously.
I am just starting the video so I don't know what doc Barnard is gonna say but when I went vegan, my sleep became sooooo restful. I wake up walking on sunshine everyday. This is the best part of me plant based 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Chuck and Dr Barnard you both keep me on the straight path to good health !
I so appreciate both of you! Thank you!
Thanks Chuck and Dr Barnard for all the info you give.
Thank you Dr. Barnard for your kindness in sharing your expertise with humility. You are truly a channel of blessings to us especially those people who need to know about their sickness and diseases. And thank you also to Chuck to have this kind of platform that we always look forward to every topic he has.
Could you eat an apple before going to bed?
I love the professionalism and academic rigor that we always get from The Physicians'Committee. Thank you for all the great work you do for so many! 🙏🏼
THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!
Thank you to the lovely people at the Gregory J Reiter's Fund, what a wonderful legacy to help humankind.
LOVE Dr Barnard he’s so genuine and respectful 💚
so rare in his field. Wish i could find one like him.
Thank God im not looking for or needing one but im only 70
I thought this was about what foods to eat for Sleep
I am 44 y.o. and have hypertension and now I am transitioning to WFPBD (started on September, 2021). I monitor my BP early in the morning and at night time. The RESULT: my bloodpressure is already normal now! My doctor already reduced my hypertension medicine! Thanks to Dr. Barbard and the Physicians Committee!
What is WFPBD?
@@yelenapecherskaya4249, its Whole Food Plant-based Diet. ☺️
Thank you to both of you
Very generous of you Dr Barnard
Brilliant advice from Dr Barnard, thank you (and Chuck!). Brilliant viewer's questions too. I've just ordered all Dr Barnard's books, so grateful there are selfless professionals like him sharing their expertise to benefit humankind.

Barnard is a quack lol
Dr. Barnard all the way!!
Thankyou very much to have this kind of teaching you open my eyes
Thank you ,great presentations, your wisdom outstanding !!
Amazing. Thank you to both!
I was waking up lightheaded for about a week. I mentioned this to a friend and she told me that a friend told her that his doctor said it could possibly be dehydration and to take a sip of water after going to the bathroom during the night. Took that suggestion and the last 2 days it has been minimal!
Try a few grains of Celtic salt with your sips of water!
Thanks, Dr. Barnard
Now I know why I feel sleepy after eating oatmeal at breakfast that is why I prefer to eat this for dinner.
Oatmeal is actually a good source of protein. About 15% of its calories are from protein, which is higher than most grains. You can add soy milk, soy yogurt, or make it savory with tempeh bacon to up the protein even more AND get those good isoflavones that help your hormones!
ME TOO! I LEARNED SOME YRS AGO THAT MOST CARBOS, ESPECIALLY GRAINS STIMULATE THE PINEAL GLAND TO PRODUCE MELATONIN.
🌺✌️💚🌺☮️💟🌺
Amazing as always. Thank you!
Loving this podcast, all the way from South Africa 🌍 Thank you Chuck, and Dr N Barnard
yes i even told my doctor of this, Love you all
Thanks for asking Dr. B my lymphoma question. My diagnosis was about 9 years ago, no recurrences.
You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health.
Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world.
Fast food and sugary drinks are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity.
Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly.
Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices.
Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly.
Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer.
Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game.
A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility.
Ride to work, ride to school, ride for fun.
Every city should be a bicycle city.
Speak up for bicycles in your community
I love that even though this program is centered around nutrition, Dr Barnard promotes the ethical and merciful nature of the diet.
You are number. ONE
BOTH OF YOU
GREAT IM LEARNING AND ACTING UPON IT.
thank Dr Barnrad and Chuck
I am a veterinarian and I watch each episode separately and over and over, thank you...
Doing what Dr.Neal advises, became vegan and in a couple of months my A1c from 8.4 came down to 7.0, and I am sure it will become normal in time. We got so many wonderful vegan recipes from TH-cam, we will never become bored with WFPB!!!!!
Congratulations! When you stop consuming saturated fats, your A1C will come down. To bring it down quicker, try either eating less food in general or minimally try intermittent fasting. Whatever you do, don’t go back to being a carnivore.
Are you still doing vegan
Thanks
I started complete vagan diet as of yesterday need help with lowering cholesterol thanks Chick for all your help and support thanks 🙏🏿

❤️Thank You❤️
Please always put the questions on the screen I don’t always catch the question and keep on till giving answers 🙏❤️🙏
Could you help the excellent Dr with his sound quality deprived audio.?
Love your invaluable insights.
yes i tell everyone about this podcast
this video help me sleep
Sleep deprivation sucks!
What about the sleep food?
Other drs who overcame major health problems say vegan diet is for the rich because one must monitor ones body to supplement deficiencies. I was a vegetarian in the eighties. At first felt great because I got rid of the junk food. Vit. B12 can't be found in plants. Maybe to keep healthy eat 7 Day Adventist food. That may be the best way. When I can't sleep I think about being asleep. That helps me fall asleep before I know it.
What great questions, I actually learned something new, I have been vegan for the last 25 years. Thank you for this podcast
Question. How about dark chocolate almonds milk before sleep ?
Any foods that prevent RLS? Thanks.
Yes I ALWAYS get it , help!?!
Carbohydrates, the fear of many, are the best tool for deep and restful sleep.
@Bill Ding the constructor I think Atkins diet contributed a lot to this carbs paranoia, till today people believe in this theory.
Carbs are sugar, plain and simple.
@@willettmary889 the body needs some sugar
@Lyn Lawley It most definitely does not need sugar nor carbs. Where did you get that crazy notion from.
What should I know about my sliding hiatus hernia?
This adds a new dimension to the sleep problems of people with Parkinson's. It is recommended that, as, proteins interfere with a common med for Parkinson's they should be consumed in the evening when one is less active. PWP already are at higher risk for insomnia. This is a lose lose situation, less effective meds or less quality of sleep.
First time listening to this Podcast and found it so informative. Thank you both very much 😀
So would dr Neal recommend not having legumes at dinner for this reason? Thank you!!!
I'm one of those who still feels caffeine at night. It was one of the hardest thing to eliminate, but gone it is. Like Dr. Mcdougall, I don't do moderation well, so I abstain.
thank you Doctor on mentioning the tempe or tofu, i have not done this, i feel mixed up now on how to eat, gone plant base some time back, , watching videos all of the time
Hi I’m from d Philippines in order to sleep I drink hot milk or a shot of mild red wine or pray d rosary I’m senior I’m 63 hi everyone
Hello again Compadres 🦁🎀Good Sleep Promoting Foods for thought like Turkey, Tuna, and Yogurt...
Does B vitamin fortified nutritional yeast on nightly air popped popcorn affect sleep?
I've had trouble sleeping since I can remember (around 4 or 5 years old and I'm 44 now). I think I sleep a little better on a vegan diet. I definitely handle (feel better on less sleep) my sleep issues better on a vegan diet.
Are you still doing great on vegan
@@bridge9199 Def! Period better, almost never get sick, especially as compared to before. And better cardio health even though I don’t usually get workouts in…are you thinking of going vegan? I actually do it for the animals. The health benefits are just a bonus ☺️
@@Kate-zl3zl have your sleep quality improve
@@bridge9199 I’d say so. I need about 7 hrs. Before going vegan, if I got 6:50, I’d be 🧟♀️ Now, I can work two jobs on 5 1/2 and feel (on average) better than 6:50 prior
What's your opinion gummie vitamins vs hard vitamins for digesting. I have a hard time swallowing pills even when cut in half this is why I switched.
I was taking a vanadium supplement and after awhile it gave me bad vertigo any time I went from a sitting or laying down position to standing. I stopped taking it and after a few days my vertigo went away. seems I only need it once every few weeks after guinea pigging myself so I'll take it once a month
Thank you dr Barnard for confirming the one a day Brazil nut. I’ve been doing this for about a year and I I feel it helps my anxieties. Wondering would it be best at night to also help with staying asleep ❓
How do you break the cycle of sugar addiction
What about olive oil; that should increase blood viscosity and yet it’s considered healthy. What is your take on extra virgin olive oil?
By mistake I bought my B 12 5,000 instead of 500, when I went for my blood work my B12 was very high. My Dr advised me to cut way back on B12, not until I arrived home and looked at my B12 did I catch my mistake of buying the 5000
I’m suffering from migraines. It’s hard to explain people who don’t deal with migraines what I feel. They consider migraine as usual headache. But it’s the most terrible feeling I’ve ever had. Even if you know what to expect you can’t be prepared!
Try using peppermint oil.
Try a couple of leaves in a sandwhich of feverfew a white pretty Bushy daisy type flower it is a great help
I used to have about one migraine a month. They were more painful than labor pains. It was predominantly due to stress, but I'm sure my diet back them didn't help. Got rid of the husband and stopped watching news. Seldom have graines now.
For Sheree (headaches): I was in a low-fat, plant-based online cooking course group a few years ago. Many people seemed to have headaches when transitioning to a no-oil, whole-food plant-based diet, including me. I can speculate about why this might be (from my own experience, not hard data). I don't know if you are a habitual headache/migraine sufferer like I am but migraine sufferers tend to get an attack when they haven't eaten, or haven't eaten enough food. WFPBNO food is naturally lower in calories. I think the body perceives it as 'not enough food' at first, even if the fibre fills you up. I suspect that calorie deficit might be one reason why this way of eating kicks off a headache in the beginning. Secondly, if you drink caffeine regularly, both drinking it and not drinking it, or drinking less of it, can set you up for all sorts of headaches. Getting rid of it completely (but very gradually, so as not to kick off a withdrawal headache) can help a lot with all kinds of headaches and migraine. Thirdly, it could be some kind of detox, although I know that is a very vague term. Dr Joel Fuhrman has an interesting take on false hunger vs real hunger and the question of headaches, detox, etc. comes into it. It's either in 'Fast Food Genocide' or 'The End of Dieting'. Both books should be available through your local library or bookshop. I hope you feel better soon.
I completely agree with you Ive had the same experience. nowdays after having detoxed for many years I dont get those symptoms anymore and even when I dont eat enough calories I dont feel that way. I think they definitely were withdrawl/ detox symptoms. in fact when I eat junky, oily, salty processed foods I feel bad now.
@@kyl5005 Interesting that you have had a similar experience. I find that those detox headaches are much less frequent if I have completely quit all forms of caffeine before making dietary changes. For me, I think that is the biggest key. Then I can go to bed on an empty stomach if I want to and I wake up feeling fine. If I just change my diet without preparation, I get a vicious migraine.
@@Equinox1.5 at this point i have no detox symptoms because I've been on WFPB for a long time. so even if I have caffeine from time to time cuz I want to I dont feel that way anymore and also with food its very mild just temporary. I hope you get to that state soon. but I agree with you the migraines are linked to heavy caffeine withdrawal symptoms. I used to drink at least 2 full ventis filled with sugar and dairy. the symptoms went on for like a year as I was heavily relying on it for energy.
@@kyl5005 I hope I get to that stage, too. Thank you :-) When you're reliant on coffee or tea for energy it's so hard to quit but it's a self-perpetuating problem, isn't it? Quitting caffeine plus going WFPB seems to be the key to better energy. I've pretty much quit caffeine but haven't gone fully WFPB yet, although I am 70-80% of the way there. I used to drink a lot of coffee and strong tea. My headaches and migraines have diminished a lot since I weaned myself off those drinks as a daily habit but they increase in frequency and intensity if I have more caffeine than usual in painkillers, for example, or as a social thing (the latter is rare).
@@Equinox1.5 oh no.. i hope you wouldnt have to take meds either. I dont take any meds since I've learned theyre mostly toxic substances that only numb you or suppress symptoms. only use them when its unbearable. yeah. 100 % isnt the goal. it's doing the best we can with the given situation. I think you are doing well. :D interpreting our bodily signals is so important and being aware of it is not easy for most people! so its great that you are tuning in more and more. it will only get better :) it came to just enjoying a cup of coffee once in a while if I feel like it and I go right back to not wanting to for a while because I dont wanna go to the bathroom every 30 mins lol and feel like I'm using all the energy at once and getting tired the next. so now I naturally keep the balance pretty easily. thankfully we now have alot of caff-free teas to enjoy!
Please put writing on the screen. I cannot hear but can read. I am missing so much. Thank you.
I have a husband used to work overnights at GM talking bus manufacture no he retired he have a hard time sleeping at night anymore he up all night long even keeping me awake and moving around the house or apartment

Congested liver
@@lf7065 so how would I know whether i had a congested liver,,,what would i ask my doctor ,,could it be my taking a 75 asprin as i had problems with ,astra zenica and my veins and take asprin ,in case as I have arthrosclerosis, it s not easy to see a doctor,,and ask how covid micro clotting,is a risk,and how to avoid it ,,
When I first started a Vegan diet I had headaches. It was explained to me that it was part of the detox that was happening.
Hi Dr. Barnard, I am a nurse working night shifts ,is it ok to eat in the morning before I go to sleep.
No. Your body needs to rest, not digest. Eat during your shift, or after you get up from sleeping.
Can you talk about oxalate poisoning?
I would like to do a vegetarian plant-based diet but I cannot take B12 because it make me feel like I have had so strong caffeine and I don’t feel good. We can i do. I also don’t sleep very well Some nights I don’t sleep at all.
Are vitamins that are made 100% from food safe in terms of overdosing
What's food can make you sleep better
You tell me
i have a sleep problem (which i have never had before) jmy partner intropduced me to Sleepy Time" tea and it works on and off I continued taking it without knowing they have begun other attitude such as valerian. Is it safe for me to take tea with a small quantity, a short glass of tea.
What good for hot flashes
A nice fan
Great😊😇😘😘 But some human's there don't keep inside the body the V B12 so there need test again and again ¿
I'm loving my greens for breakfast. I believe that greens are vasodilators, so that might be why that one woman can't sleep after eating them. They sure perk me up in the morning! No more caffeine.
Does severe organophosphate pesticide exposure concern you? It’s everywhere. What is your opinion? Should we limit Roundup in our food inasmuch as it is patented as an antibiotic and is a herbicide?
When I buy B12 supplements, I look for one that is labeled vegan or I check the ingredients , because some supplements include lactose in their formulation.

Vimergy is a good place to get B12
How about dark chocolate before sleep
I am living in an independant living facility. There has been a staff member stealing fro. My room during the 2 and 1/2 years l have been here. My daughter has been monitoring my room with a security motion detector, so , hopefully, when she is going to go through the 100 + photos on her camera, this week, she'll detect the cleaning aide that is the suspect. I had this service cancelled several months ago to hopefully stop this onging problem , which stopped for awhile, but it's started again. I even contantacted the police, but no help i'd like to move permanently, but am over 80, and need help with this, but no luck, yet with this. Any suggestions out there? Suzi Q.
I'm not vegan but eat about 90 percent plant based whole foods, occasionally I eat fish, cheese and milk but its pretty sporadic, I am also over 30 days into the Zoe/Kings College London Big IF study and my sleep and bloating (IBS) have improved heaps (between 9-10 hour eating window which I will cut to 8 after the study) I haven't lost any weight as yet and just wondered if there was anything more I could do, as I am just outwith the BMI where I should be?

What vitamin should I take to normalize skipped heartbeats?
Stop eating animal products. Also, multi-day fasting will help. It did for me (14 day medically supervised water only fast).
The minerals magnesium, potassium & sodium!
Magnesium malate abd glycinate. w/each meal, esp dinner.
As far as sleep goes all I know is last night I had a bad dream I was a muffler and woke up exhausted. When I got up I got a craving for nuts, so I spent the day with my folks.
Haha Funnny
@@lynlawley8903 Yeah and today I saw an ad in the paper that said, "funeral director wanted, must be dead serious."
Stupid not funny😢
As a late onset type 2 diabetic who has controlled /reversed this by moderately low carbohydrate diet/exercise, I sleep terribly. I wake 3am, have hot flashes, am tired but can’t get back to sleep. What do you suggest to eat to help this??? I can have a smaller portion of steel cut oats made with almond milk, cinnamon, Chia, ground flax seeds, and topped with pumpkin seeds for the magnesium (I get occasional bouts of AFIB) and a few berries or little chopped apple and it doesn’t impact my BG at breakfast. Should I have high protein at breakfast, chicken or fish with lots of veg at lunch and then try the porridge at dinner to help me sleep (checking my BG on waking?) I would appreciate any advice you could give me (I can only have goats milk in decaf coffee as I’m sensitive to the lactose in cows milk- don’t like almond milk in coffee but ok in other things).
He said protein in the morning. I'd stick to that and not eat any protein rich foods at all the rest of the day. Switch to starches for afternoon and dinner.
I’ve been watching a retired Pro Tien research doctor - to avoid muscle wasting as one ages, ideally one would have 40 to 50 g of protein, high quality protein meaning meat eggs milk fish, in the morning. And a second high-protein meal high-quality protein for the evening meal.
Considering your situation, it would seem that you would have an early protein meal in the evening, maybe at 5 o’clock? And have a oatmeal dessert at 7 o’clock?… And the oatmeal would help you feel sleepy. I would then wait two or three hours before bedtime.
By spacing your protein this way through the day, you will prevent losing muscles as you age.

Have you found any solution

Hello Doctor what about drinking hot chocolate. Is it bad for sleep.? I can’t sleep VERYVERY well. I always perspiring in the night.is there something wrong with me .Thank you. I wish to hear from you.XXX
I went vegan I love French fries and impossible burger and Oreos soya milkshake samosas thanks Dr Neil Bernard I eat no animal products
If I have been working I might shift for 30 years, I have chronic insomnia since I retired . Some plant based diet help?
Any improvement
What is your condition
My experience is that hempseed oil help give you a good night's sleep
I been so healthy gor years that I am often up studying looking at a screen past midnight most nights and still get 8 hours of REM sleep I know cause I have dreams the majority of nights.
I don't know why, but I am the exception to the advice of low protein in the evening. I've tried a no/low protein meals at night, but I wake up with low blood sugar and the shakes. So, I have to have protein (like beans etc) -- and when I do I sleep so much better!
Good for you, you are preventing muscle wasting (catabolic state).
