He reminds me of my Dad who lived to be 100+ 8 months, he cycled 20 miles a day until he was 98 and was still in great mental and physical health. He only had 4 days of illness at the end. He ate mostly veg and spuds but did have meat if someone cooked it for him. He had a life well lived
Thank you for reminding and enlightening us about what we should do to have a long life Dr. you did every thing with moderation Very beautiful That's God 's plan for his people
My Dad always said Eat Well but with moderation.....well our family loves/like eating and cooking food....but always lots of vegs and fruit...fish...white meat then the red ones....

My mom lived to 105, a sister died at 100 and another is now 103. They all were mentally sharp with no sign of alzheimers and mom still got around quite well. She took the lowest dose of BP medicine and swore by vitamins. They all ate out very little, had large gardens, canned and preserved all of their own food and used no pesticides. She ate bran for breakfast every day and all three had diets that included potatoes every day. Lots of home grown vegetables, homemade rye bread, and meats they butchered themselves for years. Mom worked in her garden until she was 101 and still baked her amazing pies until 103!
Dr. Scharffenberg was also one my professors at Loma Linda University as well. (I also was a classmate of Dr. Hans Diehl) . Dr. Scharffenberg and I also worked together in doing Coronary Risk Screening and Prevention programs throughout the Hawaiian Islands when I was Director of Wellness & Lifestyle Medicine and Nutritional Services at Adventist Health Castle Medical Center in Hawaii.
What a great age, and all his faculties, he has been truly blessed He shared so much of his experience l loved listening to him, I must say thank you DR. Happy birthday when it comes.
Yes! Please invite him back! He is such wonderful example of all the benefits of the dietary recommendations he makes. My mother will be 99 next month, eats a standard American diet and, while she doesn’t have Alzheimer’s, she has had colon cancer, can only walk to the bathroom with a walker, must be taken in a transport chair when she goes out, and is not nearly as mentally alert or healthy as this man. We don’t just want to live longer, we also want to be healthy and be able to enjoy our life as we age. This gentleman seems to be doing that, and the joy of life he exudes is inspiring! Louise Jacobs
I really really love this heads up ofa nutrition from this veteran nutritionist, lovely,i personally endorse healthy eating,but with this knowledge of same i am appalled, great.
Epic! He is 99 and in excellent physical and mental health and knows the science including current studies. He gives excellent advice. So glad you found him, Chef AJ. Thank you!
What a Nice Old Doctor - and so wise - a very inspiring interview - Steven basic Life style rules: 1) no Tobacco 2) no alcohol 3) usefull exercise ( gardering e.g.) 4) avoid overweight 5) avoid Meat 6) avoid simple sugar meaning Max 6 gr Per day for women and 9 gr Per day for men and drink Water between meals, no juice but eat whole oranges 7) eat early in the day … 🎶🍀🎵💚🐸
If one is vegan even the P part is still vegan. Loved your show and guest. Even as I’m 75 I still learned lots from Dr. S. Thank you so much. Vegan since 1985. Cheers and blessings.🙏🏻
I didn't hear any 100 years old person speaking with such clarity, keeping the answers and not repeating himself! His optimism gives me so much energy!! I hope many of his booklets will be available on the internet for the wider audience.
Great talk. Praise for Chef AJ too My dad (93, a runner and fitness enthusiast) will agree that exercise is a wonder drug for living a long productive life, other than plant based eating. I am 66 and turned vegan from vegetarian last year, thanks to Doctor McDougall. Exercise certainly keeps me going! I run and coach tennis.
Wow this man, is a jewel. I am so glad, you had him, on your show. I always wanted to talk with a person this age. I would like to hear, from him again. I will save this pod, to refer, back to him!
Thank you Chef Aj so blessed to hear from Dr.Scharffenberg and my Mom will turn 101 this year in August she still eat food by herself but after she felt she can't walk but she do excercise daily now I understand excercise is important
Chef AJ what a DELIGHTFUL show. Thank you for having these two wonderful doctors in this video. I've been WFPB for over 10 years now and I just found out about Dr. Scharffenberg if you can believe it (where have I been??). I am filled with so much joy right now and am thankful we have you and these amazing people to provide education and experience on human health.
Oh wow he's the same as me :D or, I'm already living like him without knowing it :) I also wake up around 4 am and have breakfast at 6:30, eat only two meals a day, and go to bed at 8-9 pm :D if that isn't some powerful validation I don't know what is ;) and how wonderful it was with the secret guest
What a beautiful man, his mannerism and smiles reminds me of my dad, when he said "where did It come from" no body knows? Only that man dad has passed on. God Bless you Dr Sir, your memory is sharper than a teenagers. Thank you Chef Aj for bringing this wealth of knowledge to everyone. I appreciate it. I posted it to my family members and anyone that cares for Good health.
Wow!! I worked as a camp counselor one year near North Fork! I got Very sick after drinking from a stream and nearly died. The town doctor saved me.. after I laid for days in the camp sickbay- dehydrated and malnourished. I wonder if He was the doctor who saved my life? If so... Thank You!!! 🙏
Welllll...... He reminds me of my grandfather who died in a ripe old age of 116 I still have a lot of great memories of him and the most fascinating thing that I remember of him was He knew exactly the time when God took him home. I am still proud of him and I will never forget him as long as I live for the Glory of God.
He is truly blessed indeed, his voice his memory, over all he looks great, at 99 may GOD continue to bless you Dactor for as long, thanks for sharing your knowledge to us, you are blessing,,,
Your grandfather lived till 116? That's beyond awesome. Where did he live? Would love for you to share more information if you would. My grandmother lived to 103. She got polio in her 60s and that definitely gave her the wake-up call to take especially good care of herself. I loved hearing her stories of way back when. She was a school teacher in Atlantic City. She would tell of when the boardwalk there first opened up around 1917 and a shop from China opened there and all were amazed. She bought a large vase there and had made into a lamp which was gifted to me. Yes, so many wonderful memories. Her husband was a map maker and travelled all over making some of the first maps. Ever wonder what our grandchildren will be amazed of from our times? lol Lots I'm guessing. Take care...
I think one of his secrets to living longer must be the fact that he’s stayed so interested in life and science and his cheeky lively countenance. He reminds me of my great uncle who lived into his late 90s and always had a smile on his face and kept his zest for life x
Finding the right purpose in life, a thing you enjoy and love doing. Beside finding love, which gives you joy as long it works. This added to all that healthy behaving like the right food and doing some phiscal Interaktion. All those thing would be an ideal package for a long live.
Dear Dr. Scharffenberg, What an honor you have done me by sharing yourself and your journey today. I feel so privileged just to have had this connection. I wish I had been your shadow through life. Such incredible learning and service you have given. I really didn't want this time with you to end. Any possibility you'll come back really really soon? I will be first in line when you write a book. Even just a number of videos continuing to share in greater detail your parade of adventures. I really thought Chef AJ did such a phenomenal job interviewing you. Your sense of humor and twinkle in your eye I'll always remember. You're such a joy! Please keep in touch with AJ and then she'll keep the rest of us knowing how you are. Well, I'm 75 and best leave before I propose. lol. Thank you again so much. Blessings, Patricia
I'm almost 83 and am healthy and happy, no medication at all for over 40 years. Grew up in Berlin during war, was ill all my young life, died to my "old" self and started a New Life in beloved Mount Shasta, Ca. Blessings to All>
Thank you Dr. S . I love listening to your life experiences. Your travels . Your knowledge with health and nutrition. You put a smile on my face when listening to you and hearing your laughter. Thank you for Having your u tube and hosting Dr. S.
He said exercise may have been why he outlived his brothers but he probably also got more sunshine and fresh air out there as well. I often feel like sunshine is a significant factor. I mean it even tye's back into vitamin D like he mentioned earlier on. But it does other things too, like increase melatonin on a cellular level and interact with chlorophyll to create ubiquinol.
525mg calcium needed - 3 ways 1. Cut your salt intake in half. 2 Vit D adequate for absorption of calcium- sunshine 3. oxalates or phytic acid formseg. spinach etc prevents absorption Foods high in oxylates hinders calcium absorpion Lack of iron- anemia coffee decreases it.
Guess I’ll need to stop eating my Spinach and Kale mix in my salads to prevent the decrease of absorption. Unfortunately, I can’t eat lettuce as it gives me diarrhea. Any suggestions?
Clean lettuce leaves in a bowl of cold water with baking soda, 1/2 teaspoonfor 15 minutes Rinse three times with clear water.. Amoebas live in water and can cause diarrhea, so please clean well, leaf by jeaf.
I don't know if I'd be able to live half of him (I am 23). But I really cherish the beautiful and advice he gave us. He is 99 yo and a physician so this is by far the best advice out there. What a gem of a person.
My dad is 101 years old. he had the best eating habits. he is not fond about food. only 2 meals a day and very light meals. he eats vegetables, meat, milk and all types of food he likes. He doesn't eat between meals.
I love the LIVING example this wise plant-based Doctor is to all of us!!! When you know what he does AND you are looking & feeling that great at 99? Nobody can argue 😀
Sugar has become the culprit for almost everything that ails us. I believe much of this can be eliminated with exercise. Too much of anything can turn into a problem.
My friend Dr Sharfenberg. True christian man. Often gave health talks at our church. He and another gentleman gave health talks for weeks. Lives were changed bc of the knowledge they learn at those meetings. God bless you my dear friend. ❤️
Thank you Chef AJ for interviewing Dr. Scharffenberg! He is a treasure ~ a wealth of knowledge, kindness, intellect and vitality at 99! An inspiration to all. Enjoyed every second of this interview. ❤
It seems a little odd he threw chocolate under the bus since the type of saturated fat is nothing like animal fat I mean there is stearic and palmitic acid but palmitic acid is more the culprit and more heavily found in meat whereas Cocoa is more equal parts oleic acid and stearic acid.. And chocolate has so many other benefits, a lot of people advocate it for longevity. Don't be messing with my Cocoa!!! Lol
I totally enjoyed this session! Dr Scharffenberg is a very knowledgable, wise, funny doctor. I love his attitude and his sense of humour! Please bring him back again!
This is totally off topic, Chef AJ, but I wanted you to know I think you look lovely in this video. The color of your lipstick matches your blouse perfectly and the blouse is very flattering.
Wow. What a delightful and interesting gentleman! What a life he's led, and I can only imagine the level of positive impact he's had on so many people, including Dr. McDougall. Great work, Chef AJ!
Wow, he outlived both of his parents and brothers. I hope i get to be as sharp and functional like him when i’m 99. I’d definitely take his advice to exercise at midlife. I just took up gardening during pandemic and managed to grow my own veggies. Living in the tropical Indonesia allows me to do so. Thank you so much chef AJ for inviting Dr Scharffenberg.
@@todayipaint4667 would you rather have your parents bury you instead? In my culture (Chinese) that case is called white head burying black head. It means when you die, you got no kids to bury you.
What an inspiration, intellect and vitality at 99! You are awesome, so pleasant and funny, you portray explanations and the stories with such happiness. How to get your materials book and cards, to post in my office. Happy 100 Birthday to you when it comes! Live on and keep living, have fun.
He looks great! We have to take into consideration the world he grew up in compared to younger generations. For starters he had less vaccines, no gmo's, less pesticides, no fluoride in the water, no emf, etc. We are really at war here with the people who own the government and corporations. If you are going to eat healthy foods then make them healthy. Eating Gmo and pesticides kind of defeat the purpose.
Ate tofu, quinoa and lentils everyday, I had become anemic, went back on eggs and meat. I eat a little of everything except for processed foods and sugar. I will not follow any single diet. Intermittent fasting is a plus.
I agree with you. I don’t follow a single diet. I eat mostly vegetables and occasionally meat and fish. I also cut off dairy except kefir from time to time. If I have steel cuts oat, I will have it with goat milk. Just listen to our body and cut off junk and processed food
I don’t consume milk products and my bone density is off the charts good. At 45 yrs old I had better bone density than a 17 yr old male. I hadn’t had any dairy for 10 years prior.
Thank you so much for this interview Chef AJ. I love love love Dr. Scharffenberg, his beautiful energy and infectious laugh just made my day, what a joy he is.
I enjoyed meeting Dr. Scharffenberg; I am new to this way of eating and am still working on perfecting this diet. Thank you for your informational podcasts
The doctor looks amazing, Very sharp too. As long as there's grass fed beef, I'll be enjoying it a couple of times a week. My grandmother lived to 101, my mother lived to a 100. Both were never sick & both mobil. One of them killed after a week in the nursing home where she was visiting because she had hit her head from a fall. They deprived her of water and drugged her. My mother was pushed, hit her head, bled out & did not receive medical attention for hours.
It would be good if I followed this, I am 68 years, I have bone problems, neck compression, my muscles pain is terrible, is it possible to build bones thank you Annmarie Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 if you could please send me information thank you god bless 😊

I love this doctor 😊
Unbelievable! 99 yo
This was a great interview! I loved listening to him.
AI leaned a lot from him,he is a great doctor
He reminds me of my Dad who lived to be 100+ 8 months, he cycled 20 miles a day until he was 98 and was still in great mental and physical health. He only had 4 days of illness at the end. He ate mostly veg and spuds but did have meat if someone cooked it for him. He had a life well lived

What a nice person. I have a friend who is 84 and his mom is 107 alive and so sharp.
My mom lived to 105, a sister died at 100 and another is now 103. They all were mentally sharp with no sign of alzheimers and mom still got around quite well. She took the lowest dose of BP medicine and swore by vitamins. They all ate out very little, had large gardens, canned and preserved all of their own food and used no pesticides.

For a doctor in his late 90s, he is so up to date with all the new and recent findings in health and nutrition!!! 👏🙀
💕
Is he supposed to be outta touch
He probably reads papers more than he spends time on social media.
@@fitawrarifitness6842 depends on what one is reading on social media. Ever heard the phrase.... "don't throw the baby out with the bath water "
@@MCfact1827 yes I'm familiar with this phrase, however I don't see how it relates to my statement.

My friend Dr Sharfenberg. True christian man. Often gave health talks at our church. He and another gentleman gave health talks for weeks. Lives were changed bc of the knowledge they learn at those meetings. God bless you my dear friend. ❤️
Such a Ray of light and Wealth of Knowledge. 💝
Thank you Chef AJ for interviewing Dr. Scharffenberg! He is a treasure ~ a wealth of knowledge, kindness, intellect and vitality at 99! An inspiration to all. Enjoyed every second of this interview. ❤
Ok0
He is a tonic
It seems a little odd he threw chocolate under the bus since the type of saturated fat is nothing like animal fat I mean there is stearic and palmitic acid but palmitic acid is more the culprit and more heavily found in meat whereas Cocoa is more equal parts oleic acid and stearic acid.. And chocolate has so many other benefits, a lot of people advocate it for longevity. Don't be messing with my Cocoa!!! Lol
I totally enjoyed this session! Dr Scharffenberg is a very knowledgable, wise, funny doctor. I love his attitude and his sense of humour! Please bring him back again!
This is totally off topic, Chef AJ, but I wanted you to know I think you look lovely in this video. The color of your lipstick matches your blouse perfectly and the blouse is very flattering.
Oh thank you!
I loved this! Thank you so much Dr Sharffenberg, you're awesome! 😊
Wow. What a delightful and interesting gentleman! What a life he's led, and I can only imagine the level of positive impact he's had on so many people, including Dr. McDougall. Great work, Chef AJ!
Wow, he outlived both of his parents and brothers. I hope i get to be as sharp and functional like him when i’m 99. I’d definitely take his advice to exercise at midlife. I just took up gardening during pandemic and managed to grow my own veggies. Living in the tropical Indonesia allows me to do so. Thank you so much chef AJ for inviting Dr Scharffenberg.
Outliving both of one's parents is not such a great achievement, imho.
@@todayipaint4667 would you rather have your parents bury you instead? In my culture (Chinese) that case is called white head burying black head. It means when you die, you got no kids to bury you.
Just about everyone outlives their parents....🤣I'm pretty glad I outlived my brother and I'm not 99.....😁
Intelligent
Wow would be if he outlived his children.
I love this very informative info... So nice & wonderful.
Your inspiring, an idol for quality life a person to
have.
I had the privilege of going to many of his health lectures. I have learnt so much for him. He is such a delightful person
The way he eats is vegan or rather plant exclusive , maybe ppl use that word vegetarian to cover vegan too 🤷🏻♀️
I love bird watching also!!!
What a wonderful guest! I love his sense of humor and giggle! My Dad recently passed at 94 and he worked outdoors everyday possible.
I’m so sorry for your loss🌹
I met Dr. Scharffenburg when I was a little girl. He came to do Stop Smoking classes with my dad and came to eat dinner at our house.
Thank you Dr S for your inspiration and wisdom ! Wish you were my doctor! Thank you AJ!
Dr: Scharffenberg is such a gentleman with full of wisdom & experiences to share with public without reservation 👏🏾 thank you doctor 🙏
What a beautiful soul! So much wisdom & so full of joy for life. He looks amazing, a great advert for WFPB diet. Such a treat, thank you AJ ❤
What an inspiration, intellect and vitality at 99! You are awesome, so pleasant and funny, you portray explanations and the stories with such happiness. How to get your materials book and cards, to post in my office. Happy 100 Birthday to you when it comes! Live on and keep living, have fun.
He looks great! We have to take into consideration the world he grew up in compared to younger generations. For starters he had less vaccines, no gmo's, less pesticides, no fluoride in the water, no emf, etc. We are really at war here with the people who own the government and corporations. If you are going to eat healthy foods then make them healthy. Eating Gmo and pesticides kind of defeat the purpose.
Such a water full interview,so a lot of information ,I would love to have your books dr
Ate tofu, quinoa and lentils everyday, I had become anemic, went back on eggs and meat. I eat a little of everything except for processed foods and sugar. I will not follow any single diet. Intermittent fasting is a plus.
I agree with you. I don’t follow a single diet. I eat mostly vegetables and occasionally meat and fish. I also cut off dairy except kefir from time to time. If I have steel cuts oat, I will have it with goat milk. Just listen to our body and cut off junk and processed food
@@tortoro6565 I had a big problem with Spinach, some veggys are very high oxalates, In one day pain was gone when I stopped the uncooked spinach.
@@bobo-si3kw yes, spinach is not so good for you. I used to eat a lot of cooked spinach but not anymore. Instead I eat more steamed kale
I don’t consume milk products and my bone density is off the charts good. At 45 yrs old I had better bone density than a 17 yr old male. I hadn’t had any dairy for 10 years prior.
Enjoyed listening to Dr Sharffenberg! Very wise man. I hope I look so good in my 90's. ❤
I don't consider myself a vegetarian, although I eat a lot of vegs, I would call the way I eat Moderationarian. But this doctor is worth listneing to.
Thank you so much for this interview Chef AJ. I love love love Dr. Scharffenberg, his beautiful energy and infectious laugh just made my day, what a joy he is.
I enjoyed meeting Dr. Scharffenberg; I am new to this way of eating and am still working on perfecting this diet. Thank you for your informational podcasts
The doctor looks amazing, Very sharp too. As long as there's grass fed beef, I'll be enjoying it a couple of times a week.
My grandmother lived to 101, my mother lived to a 100. Both were never sick & both mobil. One of them killed after a week in the nursing home where she was visiting because she had hit her head from a fall. They deprived her of water and drugged her. My mother was pushed, hit her head, bled out & did not receive medical attention for hours.
It would be good if I followed this, I am 68 years, I have bone problems, neck compression, my muscles pain is terrible, is it possible to build bones thank you Annmarie Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 if you could please send me information thank you god bless 😊
