The bottom line, Beth, is that its YOUR life. You know yourself, past, present, and future. No "influencer" loves you or cares about you more than you love yourself. Its between you, your family, and God. There's SO much information out there. But, it's wisdom that matters most for our lives.♥️🇨🇦
Beth, thank you for supporting, those that want to hear, with information, compassion and wisdom. Don’t even listen to the haters. Stress will harm your health as well. So, Do what you’ve learned is best for you and keep sharing. Love it! God Bless you!!!
I love that this conversation is so respectful, and that you are willing to share his perspective in spite of your personal stance at this time. It's really great and really important.
@@FiftyPlusBeautyyou should be aware that Baker is a liar. And his physical fitnes(hahaha) is mostly steriods. While i agree we should respect others, some oeople should not be respected. .
I highly doubt you have been carnivore for 30 years with no supplements and not cheating with no added plants to your diet cus then that isn’t the carnivore diet
I just made a study that you might want to see. On 20 year period your chance of death is 50% compared to 37% of normal population. Granted this includes bread eaters as well, but If I get enough viewers I will adjust the study variables and you'll get the truth that NHANES I dataset already tells..
Yes, I am so with you. He really had every right to attack me and he didn’t at all. Dr. Baker is a very gracious person for sure. I can see why he’s so popular.
Well I certainly appreciate Shawn’s approach and open minded response to you. I’m grateful he didn’t bash you. It’s very unbecoming of him when he does that. This was one of the best videos From Shawn Baker. And great helpful suggestions and his thoughts on stroke and heart disease. It’s all about WHATS BEST FOR YOU, not anyone else.
💗 Beth, you are so loving & gracious. I love so much the kindness & respect between you and Dr. Shawn, because it's _so_ rare to see today! I was WFPB for over 15 years, and I'm now carnivore, but I think both diets can be very helpful--many get healed on both. None of us know what the perfect diet is--it really is trial and error. Wishing everyone the best!
Beth, I am so proud of you. Though we've never met I think of you as a friend and I'm proud to call you that. What a clear, thoughtful and respectful video. And beautiful job by Dr. Baker too, which gave you a springboard actually to further research and explain your conclusions. I've not had a stroke, that I know of, but I have a lot of strokes on my dad's side of the family and arteriosclerosis on my mother's so though I may not go full vegan, I now think I would be smart to rethink my carnivore/keto efforts of late. And I so agree with you about treating others as you would want to be treated. God bless you
God bless you too Cinnie! I’m sorry that you have had heart disease which runs in your family, but the more I read and research the more I realize that does not have to mean we will actually come down without type of problem. I think you were wise to be adding more fruits and veggies to your diet. For me, even before I became keto and carnivore, they were probably whole months where I never had any fruit, and almost no vegetables. I count you as a friend and I so much love having you here with me on my channel. You make even the challenges seem pretty OK.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty yes Beth - it's not so much the meat in the diet, it's the lack of fruit & veg, especially vegetables. They contain fibre and valuable nutrients. I know it's not easy when we suffer with IBS x
That was sweet. You were so respectful toward Dr. Baker and very balanced in the way you handled things. I'm following this (I follow you and him both anyway). It's really interesting to note all the things you both have to say.
Good finally you understand that you where low in taurine and creatine, too bad now you are probably developing accelerated CVD for this 2 missing elements, seems like a good trade-off right? 😂
What an excellent video! "Love and respect is the way to go" -- absolutely! I would love it if you could make a future video addressing the issue of getting enough protein on a plant-based diet. Thanks, Beth!
I myself have been at my best physically and health wise with a plant based diet. I do love that Dr. Baker’s response was so kind and respectful. Whatever dietary path we choose we are all aiming to be healthier and I think he has good intentions, but so does Dr. Esselstyn and Dr. Gregger and the other plant based doctors I’ve seen. Great video by Dr. Baker, though, and good advice on doing resistance training.
Awesome video Beth! I have been following Dr Greger's WFPB suggestions for 30 days now and feel amazing. I was eating vegetarian about 9 years ago and felt terrible because I was eating a lot of processed foods even though I avoided meat, fish and poultry. I didn't understand at the time how to get protein without meat. Now that I am following the WFPB diet this is a completely different approach! Eating Dr Greger's daily dozen has been very helpful for me. I hope I stick with it! Glad you are on your journey to recovery.
Beth, you're the sweetest and I'm so sorry this happened to you. In 2021, at healthy 47 years old, I had a blood clot in my lung (Pulmonary Embolism/PE) which is life threatening. No clots were found anywhere else in my body. Before my diagnosis, in less than a month I took a round trip flight from Phoenix to New York. But I was also deep into the Ketogenic way of eating. And years of paleo years prior to Keto. I was also vaccinated one time 4 months prior to my PE. Like you experienced, various doctors had various opinions as to why I clotted. And of course the public chimes in when I share my story.. many quite rudly. I am still on anticoagulants because According to National Blood Clot Alliance, once you clot you are automatically at risk to clot again in 10 years.. that is the case with 33%. Anyhow, my carnivore doctor stated that I may do better on a lower-carb diet vs any others out there. It's not easy to sift through all the data and make the best decision for ourselves moving forward. Overall, I admire your continued research and kindness displayed throughout your journey you've chosen to share despite all the controversy. Blessings to you moving forward, Beth 🙏 ❤
Blessings to you too and I am glad you found what works for you. Yes, that is a scary statistic about clots and or strokes. Kind of being repetitive events. You are right that it is very confusing to pick through all the various dietary camps. Thank you for your very nice comment. I appreciate it that you watched my video.
The human body is so complicated with so, so many internal and external factors that may or may not play a part in our health. We can only do what you have been doing, Beth, which is to educate ourselves as best we can from many sources and then decide where to go from there. Keeping an open mind and being flexible as we go forward and making adjustments as we experience and/or learn new information is part of our personal health journey and takes many paths. Thank you so much for sharing your stroke experience. It has been so very informative. And a big thanks to you and Dr. Baker for continuing the conversation. It is refreshing, and important, to see two grownups discussing topics respectfully. Continued good health to you, Beth!
I had two Covid shots plus a booster about 1 1/2 to 2 years ago. I am not finding any research which supports that the Covid shot causes blood clots and strokes. I am finding research at having Covid can do that though.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty Please see Dr. John Campbell's channel. He is presenting a lot of research that supports how the vax is harming people. Mainstream media and experts cannot be trusted.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty You might be doing research on the mainstream level and need to dig deeper into the quantum level and find the hoards of doctors and those performing autopsies that have found blood clots (and not just normal clots) since the first run of jabs. Anyone paid under big pharma will either not be aware or will be too afraid to lead you to the studies. At this point, with all the young athletes dropping on the field (never seen in history), it would be like intentionally putting blinders on to ignore it.
I love this follow up you gave. You are such a sincere, thoughtful, truth-seeking person of kind heart and humility and I'm so proud of you. You are such a wonderful example to all of us, and I truly appreciate you!!! Many blessings to you sweet Beth!! xoxo
I am glad you are doing this series. My son had a heart attack when he was 43. He had lost 60 pounds on keto. Was doing an hour of cardio a day and had a heart attack. One Doctor said I don't care what diet you use as long as you keep your weight down. The other one said keto is bad. He went vegan for a month but couldn't keep his weight down. So he went back to keto. It is so confusing.
The term vegan is misleading to those who want to follow a dietary protocol. WHOLE food plant based is more useful to those who want to improve their health.
Greetings Beth! I saw Dr. Baker's video too and I noticed how respectful and open minded he was. Thank you for sharing your life Beth! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
I like your attitude toward seemingly criticisms and that you were able to take the positives and prepare such a nice video. It was well thought out. It isn’t easy being in the spotlight where so many people share their opinions about you. Really, no matter what choices we make there will always be someone who disagrees with it. It’s nice to be able to disagree and have cordial conversations!
Thank you for your great comment as it was a wonderful reminder that no matter what we do, someone will disagree with it. It reminds me of my son and his belief in the fundamentals of cognitive behavioral therapy. In fact, next week, I will be sharing a video about that sort of therapy which features my son explaining it. he says it’s always important to remember that we can only control ourselves and what we do say and feel. We can’t ever control other people. Your comment was a great reminder of that and I appreciate it.
@@FiftyPlusBeautyYes, there is a similar line in The Course in Miracles. It says, "only what you are not giving, can be lacking in any situation." Can't wait to see the video with your son!
So strange. I am 77 and have been carnivore now for 8 months. My LDL and cholesterol are extremely low! Almost off the chart low. I can't digest vegetables - they show up in the toilet. I was vegetarian for over a year and I became severely anemic. Some of the alternative proteins like pea protein make me have stomach and headaches. Maybe we just have very different needs? I hope you will let us know after about a year the differences in your blood work:)
I got very sick being a vegan. My doctor is vegan and he told me he has found some people just don't suit it. (When I say sick I mean very seriously ill with blood tests and labs to back it up) I unfortunately have developed mast cell disease now and can't have a limited diet so I can't try all these new things lol I truly do believe that people are different and do best when they eat what's best for them. Be blessed ❤
Oh, and I want to add that the improvement with the carnivore way of eating that I most appreciate is that my arthritis pain disappeared. I used to be on prescription painkillers plus over the max ibuprofen every day. I do hope you get the benefits you want.
Excellent recap and very best true wisdom to end the video, proud of you. You are an amazing woman and I am so glad we are friends. Love you lots, Beth!
Wise choice. Good job doing your due diligence researching and discovering credible sources. There are so many wfpb athletes, fitness professionals and health conscious people that are definitely not frail and weak. See Game Changers for a glimpse at people excelling and thriving on a wfpb lifestyle. Aloha!
My life purpose & passion for the past 13 years has been to reverse chronic disease which includes strokes, heart attacks, cancer and dementia among thousands of other conditions. Nothing degrades more lives, costs more money, reduces productivity more nor KILLS more people than chronic disease. It’s humanity’s BIGGEST problem and nothing else is even close. I am confident you had a stroke bc you are FILLED with visceral fat which is the NUMBER ONE cause of chronic disease and so the biggest killer of humans. Google: Stroke, Visceral Fat and than ask yourself after: “Why hasn’t a single one of all the doctors who treated me or are discussing me on line once mentioned Visceral Fat”? It’s because it is kept out of medical schools by Big Pharma so doctors literally dont know about it. Carnivores & Vegans are filled are often or even usually filled with it. It’s NOT just diet so just going carnivores or vegan is NOT enough. There is way way way way more to chronic disease and so visceral fat than just diet. An MRI reveals the invisible visceral fat you have in you. I DM’ed you to work with you for FREE to show you how much you have and why you had your stroke. I will donate $5k to charity if you are not filled with visceral fat. Please be a part of the solution to help promote awareness this deadly process in people almost no one knows about. You could help improve and even save millions of lives Beth. 🙏
I am on TH-cam as well but with many fewer followers under @DrSeanOMara where I do videos on clogged arteries which open when you get rid of visceral fat and how much people improve their health, performance and APPEARANCE. You can see how much my face and other people’s faces improve by eliminating visceral fat. NOTHING improves human appearance more than eliminating visceral fat. Hopefully that might appeal to your followers interested in beauty.
@@DrSeanOMara I am one your followers and love your videos.... I started eating more fermented food and do work out implementing HIIT since watching you.
Diet that works best for me is very low sugar, and alcohol. No ultra processed foods or junk food at all. Moderate to low carbs, Mostly plant based with some fatty fish and meat. I guess it would be called a mediterranean/omnivore diet. Good luck to you and stay healthy!
Beth I just wanted to mention this as I've had a stroke as well. (Not diet related it was the stress of losing my mother) I found out that you need to take vitamin k2 along with your vitamin D3 so that you don't have calcium going to your organs, soft tissue and arteries. It may not be the cause of your stroke or mine but it certainly is helpful in preventing them plus the bonus is stronger bones since k2 helps usher calcium into bones and teeth. I hope you read this! With love from a long time supporter and fan! 🙂❤
the alternative is to eat natto. The Japanese eat natto for breakfast every day. It is an acquired taste, but after you get used to it, it is much easier than taking a supplement, which may or may not have been oxidized. Oxidized K2 is not that helpful, as I understand. So make sure your supplement is protected against oxidation.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty Hope all is well with you 💓 im just learning about carnivore diet...not sure yet if will try ...but interesting. Just noticed you gave everyone a heart except @mariaespiritu9512 She was so sweet and kind and said she is healthy on plant based diet. Which is great! She also praised all the doctors for their good intentions. Just wondering if its because she is happy and healthy on a plant based diet and not praising the carnivore diet.
Wow, Beth! What a fantastic, gracious video you made! So well thought out and presented. Great response to Dr. Baker and the community! Glad you're doing so well and I'm also transitioning to more of a WFPB diet. I love these videos. Please keep them coming. Your thought of the day was very on point in this very divisive world right now. Thank you!!!
You are so welcome! After that thought for the day kind of came out, I realized that that’s pretty much all of her feelings about our whole world in general lately. Somehow, we need to get back to kindness and respect for each other, even if our opinions differ. God bless you and thank you so much for your very wonderful comment. I will appreciate appreciate it.
And not one Dr blames the 💉🤔along with a plane ride. To each thier own. My mother 78yrs old was mainly plant-based, salads and fruits lots of veg and some tuna. She had gotten so hateful and paranoid i had to have my son drop off her food. After he moved it was back to me. So, after looking for brain health ( cbd and medical marijuana) i just changed her diet. More meat and eggs she has broccoli and these tiny ice cream cones. I didn't want her to realize i took everything away. She is SO much better it's amazing. Side note on the 💉my daughter has cml a rare form of leukemia. Her cancer doctor said no don't get that. But as soon as it was mandated and everyone was being threatened with their jobs. He told her to get it, oh, it's fine..BS 🤬 thankfully she said no. She already takes one experimental drug. Don't get me wrong, I'm appreciative of the drug she's on. It's keeping her alive, but for all of us to be mandated to take a shot, not knowing who's going to react when everyone has different reactions to things. Sorry this was so long. Just some food for thought 😂
Im sorry that your family got suckered into taking these experimental 💉. You are a wonderful daughter to think outside the medical establishment and change your mothers diet. This is a powerful moment in both your life & your mothers life. Im proud of you!! 💙 I feel like Beth is either easily brain washed by doctors by saying her diet caused her stroke or she is in denial that the experimental 💉 caused her strokes. Either way she needs to do her reserach to see the truth that these EXPERIMENTAL 💉 caused her stroke just like they have caused strokes in so many world wide including children & young adults. good doctors since this crazy push of these EXPERIMENTAL 💉 have been all of the n. et. adivsing people to avoid them. And, now for the last several years have been advising people who are sick by them to eat the Keto diet with intermittant fasting. Which you are doing this for your mother!! You listened to your gut instincts & used your prior education of keto/carnivore diet and remembering they are both healing diets. I wish Beth would look up VAERS (this is the offical CDC 💉 injury reporting cite where over 2 MILLION US citizens have posted their injury from these Experimental 💉. The reason why there are are not more reports is the simple fact the CDC is doing everything in their power to prevent people from filing reports including telling hosptials to tell doctors/nurses NOT to report. YEP blantant massive corruption by CDC/Hosptial admin. Beth also needs to wa..tch. "D...r...Fuell..mich grand jury day1" = SHOCKING exposing the lies and crimes against humanity for these EXPERIMENTAL 💉 WORTH everyones time to watch. Beth will then wake up and realize she is STILL being hoodwinked & bamboozled by her Doctors and Hospital about what caused her stroke and how to cure her body. SOOO many you tubers have had strokes including a Young 30 year old Italian man who traveled in a van with his wife and now live in a home in Italy. (cant remember their chan name). They too were told by the doctors it's "rare" stoke for him. which is a blantant LIE. *sorry so long and sorry for the ..... .....for the vid above = has to be in code these days.
why do you delete my comments Beth about the EXPERIMENTAL 💉 and the strokes that were caused by them world wide? Why dont you look into this aspect of your strokes? You should. Start with watching "Dr fuellmich grand jury day 1" = exposing everything. Your doctors are LYING to you...they have been told by the Hospital Admin to say "your stroke is rare". remember the hospitals and doctors were PAID big money to push these EXPERIMENTAL shtos on the US & World citizens. YES PAID BIG MONEY. Ask your doctor about this. WAKE UP Beth about what caused your stroke so that you can heal your body properly. Look up VAERS = over 2 MILLION US citizens have reported their vx injury on this govt cite. You should too. WAKE UP Beth to the truth so you can eat the proper diet to heal your body. @@FiftyPlusBeauty
I concur - Occam's razor & the gaslighting from doctors is very bad. (they know many ppl are having strokes and heart attack/failure from the V) Do hope you will decide to see a doctor who can rule this out & if not treat you for the damage (ck out Dr Pierre Kory) Best to you!
these EXPERIMENTAL 💉 are causing these Strokes and also heart attacks and other major injuries...over 2 MILLION US citzens have filed 💉 reports on the offical C. D. C cite including massive injuries of Strokes. WAKE UP eveyrone. The govt officals intentionally made people sick with these EXPERIMETAL 💉 which were give out and is a VIOLATION OF THE NUREMBERG CODE. do your due dilligants and look up this truth.
@@FiftyPlusBeautyI really hope you do more research before leaving the keto or carnivore way of eating. If you follow Dr John Campbell and listen to his videos on the Covid vaccinations it may help you decide which way you go. Good luck
Dr Pradip Jamnadas is a cardiologist that has many videos here on TH-cam and he is big on fasting along with all foods that do not have a label. I know meat has labels but he includes meats, vegetables, fruits, etc so basically a Whole Foods diet. This approach seems like a really good plan to me and one I plan to try.
Thank you for the video. Especially thank you for your beautiful, inspirational thoughts. I agree with you 100%. I just want to say that in all my research, the healthiest diet is the Mediterranean diet. It is important that you have a lot of protein and I drink a very healthy protein shake every morning. We all do the best we can. Let’s not be so hard on ourselves and love ourselves and each other as God loves us. 😇💕
Which protein shakes? I just started drinking Clean and Simple Eats brand and I am enjoying it but would like to know it there is a healthier brand. Thank you!
I wish people would stop lumping everyone in the same category regarding what’s a proper diet. It’s getting tiresome to see. We are all different and the only person that knows what’s best for you is you and your doctor due to your bloodwork, lifestyle, weight, genetics, etc etc etc. Beth you do you and ignore the rest.❤️
Thank you for saying that. I eat according to my genotype/blood type and some genotypes do well with beef and such and some do not (mine does not...I can have limited fish and eggs and mostly am plant-based).
Hallelujah! Wonderful close Beth. We have access to so much information today that it is difficult to know which end is up. I too have bounced between paleo, keto, WFPB … it is tiresome at best. At the end of the day, we’re all just doing our best. Thank you again for a lovely, thoughtful video. Melody
You are so welcome melody! You sound exactly like me! Lol! We keep trying to come up with the perfect diet. Hopefully we will both come up with something soon that we really feel good about. God bless you and thanks for sharing.
No attacking whatsoever. I also want to crack the code on saturated fat risk factor. My issue is that there’s totally new thinking about high LDL, my experience corroborates it. Thanks for the honest video!
Thanks so much. I have heard about the new thinking, but unfortunately think it is contradicted by a mass of other studies. I used to believe exactly like you did when I was carnivore. Each to his own though for sure, and I really appreciate you leaving a comment.
I'm in my sixties and seem to be doing much better off seed oils. All of my sensitivities and allergic episodes have disappeared eliminating them, and I don't need that handful of OTC meds during the day. It's much better. I have a congenital heart condition and come from a family that had clogged arteries. My labs are really good on ketovore so I won't change now. I do have vegetables a couple of times a week, but cannot handle seed oils and feel much better using just real grass fed butter when needed. Maybe it varies by the individual or blood type. I think you should do what you feel is best for your own health, no matter who says what. I only really trust emergency medicine and most doctors are so uneducated about real nutrition. They're only interested in maintaining their standing in their profession and making bank on medication.
You did such a great job on this video and handle those who disagree with you with such grace. I think it’s great you are taking your diet and health seriously. I felt great on the carnivore diet too but recently switched to a Mediterranean style of eating. I just want to live a long, healthy, happy life for my family. I don’t know for sure what is correct and I appreciate watching your videos and hearing your perspective.
@@neilnewinger3059 That's a fair question! I switched because I couldn't break through a weight loss stall after an initial weight loss on carnivore (I was carnivore a year and a half) and I felt myself losing energy when working out and gaining some inflammation/water retention back in my face and legs that I had initially lost. I loved Carnivore so much at first. I felt euphoric the first year. Also I started to experience quite a bit of nausea and stomach issues the last month. I just want to focus on being sustainably healthy and not extreme. In the past, a whole food plant based gave me the body I wanted but I didn't feel my best either after a few years. I want to try something more moderate but still away from the standard american diet of processed foods/seed oils as those seem to be the worse for me.
@@arachnid33 Thanks for your explanation. It makes sense to experiment and change the diet when it doesn't work. I am so far quite happy with carnivore and I do not need to lose weight. I thought that you might be scared of something serious like a stroke. I can understand Beth especially after finding out that she already has had those ministrokes. That means there is something systematically wrong and the carnivore diet did not really help with it. My father had had such ministrokes they found only after he had a serious one. But his diet was far from healthy.
Beth, I mean no disrespect at all, but why such drastic food choices? Why not a mostly plant based diet but with very lean proteins added, such as white meat poultry and lots of fish and high omega 3 fish like salmon (Paleolithic diet)… Less of the high fat and high cholesterol foods such as red meat, cheese, bacon, butter, etc. I feel like so many people go so far drastic either way. Another great video! Good luck and prayers to you either way, Beth!❤
Thanks so much for your nice comments. Unfortunately, the studies definitely show that the more meat you add, the more saturated, fat and cholesterol increase, and the greater the risk of heart disease. Unfortunately, moderation is not much better than going all out carnivore. They have actually been studies on the more moderate approach.
This is patently false. There are no actual experimental studies showing any of this whatsoever. Even the epidemiology, which is just garbage food survey data does not show a statistically significant correlation between cholesterol and heart disease.
Beth, can I just say, you seem so much calmer and relaxed in this video. Hope you are on the right path for your health. We all have to do what suits our own bodies best.🌸
This was a very informative video. Yes, Dr. Baker was very gracious. Straight out of a study: " A low fat whole food plant-based diet is the only diet that has been shown to arrest and reverse artherosclerotic plaques in the heart arteries..."
Who funded the study? Always follow the money trail. We were told cholesterol was bad due to Ancel Keys lying for money. The sugar industry paid him off. It's all documented. Anthony Chaffee talks about it a lot. We all went low fat, high sugar back then.
@@PeaceIsYeshua Well, there are several studies you can read; one done in the UK, one by Dr Ornish, and Dr Esselstyn who runs the program that Beth and her husband are attending. You can find the studies with a Google search. I agree that you have to follow the money and none of these are like that.
Ive been carnivore for 2 years. I dont know how youve managed to go back to plant based. The very thought of fiber makes my stomach cramp. Its your life and do what you think is best for you; I just cant imagine going back.
Every one is different. If you had a stroke, I bet you would be upset to, and do a lot research to what is best Diet out there for you at that time. Beth is trying everything she can so she doesn't get another stroke. I am a Traditional Naturopath, and in my studies, and seminars I went to, they all stated to eat red meat once a week since it is so hard to digest. The rest of the time eat chicken and turkey, and some fish, but had to be organic, and fish wild caught. It can take up to three days for your body to digest beef. And they said never to eat pork. Pigs are dirty animals from generation to generation. Later on I read that Dr. Mercola said pork was okay as long as the pig ate vegetables only.
Thanks for your very knowledgeable comments Elise. You are right. If I hadn’t had a stroke, I would probably still be carnivore. Once you have a stroke, though all bets are kind of off.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty: I would be really interested to hear how your IBS symptoms are behaving on the WFPB diet. This is a topic near and dear to my heart (I mean gut!).
@@FiftyPlusBeautyAre you using FLCCC's (Dr. Marik and Dr. Kory) protocol for post vaccine to minimize stroke, and other, issues? If you haven't looked into please do. I know many many people who are now on that protocol and it is helping all of them. Best of luck!!!
I am older than you for years. My doctors been telling me to do the Mediterranean diet because I need to lose weight. I’ve done the high protein I have a kidney disease and even though it’s only stage three a I must watch it which means lower proteins. I’ve been really trying to look a lot, because so many people are on the carnivore diet which in my opinion is not healthy. No matter what we do there can be a video out there too. Be on our side just that this is what this video says. It’s on our side. We do need to do research. Talk to our doctors and do research. Look at the countries that lived the longest and look how they eat.
Yes ma'am. Agree to disagree. I mean how many times in this life has each of us thought we were right about something to find out later that we were wrong. Or even if we were right at that time, as time passed now that decision or thought wouldn't be the choice or opinion we would have today. This life is a journey. When something happens, be it good or bad, there is always more than factor involved and a lot of factors we may not even be aware of. YOU will find and do what works for YOU. And that's 💯 ok and right for YOU.
A very beautiful virtue, indeed!! Such a shining example to all of us. I wish everyone could be as gracious as Beth. Imagine what a beautiful world it would be! 💗
How about balance? Our ancestors never had all of these crazy diets and lived for years. I personally think stress and worrying about everything too much can be a bigger cause of health issues. Just saying ❤
I would say it's a combination of everything. Wrong diet for us as individuals as well as stress. One is supposed to support the other. Generally we appear to be living longer these days in part because of how clean we are now. Most diseases eradicated. Besides the fact we've obtained a near year-round resource abundance to meet almost every need compared to back then. About every year I'm hearing of some old person come out on the news that's lived to a crazy age passed 90 or 100 and even lived through the war or something.
Thanks Beth for all the information you provide. You certainly are a good researcher. Would you do a couple of videos on what a typical day of meals looks like? Thanks
Dear, Lady. You have such a pure heart and sweet spirit. Your character is the biggest reason I subscribed to you. I celebrate Christ Jesus in you, Beth, for it is evident that He has residence there. 😊
Thank you so much. I can tell by your very kind and loving comment that you are a Christ follower too. I’m glad we’re together in that. Thanks for sharing.
I am definitely torn about diet. I have heart issues and family history of congenital heart issues and heart attacks. I tried a plant based diet because of the heart health benefits to it. It almost killed me, literally. After 2 years on the diet, eating well, supplementing what I needed, I was having severe physical and neurological issues. Anxiety, gut issues, hearth issues, sleep problems...entire body was shutting down and doctors had no answers as to why. Ended up in the ER 7 times in 1 year. I finally went full carnivore, 100% beef and within a week 90% of my symptoms were gone. Now 6 months later I can sleep, and am almost back to my normal state. I have tried to introduce beans, greens etc here and there and each time my body completely revolts. I do not know why, before I went plant based I could eat all of those foods. Once I went only those foods its almost like I developed a sickness to them or some autoimmune, I have no idea, not a Dr and when I have mentioned to Drs they tell me its not possible. It is, I am going through it. I even developed some adversion to vitamin D...If I take it I get muscle spasms, anxiety, heart rythm issues, its quite a severe reaction. Goodluck with your diet, hopeing what happened to me does not happen to you
Beautiful video I love the way you handle yourself Beth. I’m going strong on Whole Foods Plantbased loving what it is done for my breathing, my heart, weight, skin and energy levels. Wishing the best for you!
Beth your grace in sharing your medical health and personal journey is selfless. You also help us understand that healthy debate and skepticism are paramount as we navigate the triumphs and landmines associated with our aging bodies.
Hi Beth, I was wondering if any doctors had any potential concerns that some of the clots might have stemmed from your recent hip replacement surgery? I may need a similar hip surgery soon, but have read and heard about blood clots becoming more of a prevalent issue after these types of surgeries for at least an increased percentage of patients. Did anybody you talked to mentioned this as a possible factor? Thx for the channel.
I’m sorry you are coming up on a hip replacement surgery, but it was life-saving for me. No, none of the doctors really mentioned that as a possible cause. It was quite a bit before the stroke so I don’t really think it had much to do with it, but who knows.
Thanks for the response might be worth at least doing some research on that. I'm still studying it myself. Just a quick question on the same subject. Since you're happy with your hip replacement results, which is the majority of what I hear from most folks thankfully, Would you mind sharing which type of replacement you used? Was it the titanium or ceramic material etc, & did they do the traditional approach through the backside/glute etc, or the newer direct anterior approach from the front? From everything I've seen so far I think I want the anterior approach which seems less invasive & faster recovery for most. Would love to hear any thoughts, pros or cons or what you've learned on that subject if you're ever willing to post a video or just respond In the comments. Thx again..
When we get studies head to head between strict veg vs. carnivores, I'll consider any other way of eating. So far, I feel like a kid again, and my laundry list of health issues are all gone. Even if I had a stroke, I'd attribute it to a former crummy lifestyle. We know eating fat doesn't raise LDL. So why on earth would I go back to something I was doing when some of my issues like high blood pressure began? Yep, I was a vegetarian then vegan for 6 years in my 20s on high bp medication! Good luck, though. We're all finding our own way, and I hope yours works for you.
WOW, 482 comments in 10 hours! You are gifted and blessed by our Lord. Continued prayers for you and your husband in this journey of life. 💖🌟💖(I've been a healthy 56yo vegan for the last 10 years!!)
One thing I would disagree with is the frail and weak. I've been plant based for a long time and I didn't lose any strength. What I did lose is lots of inflammation. I use to play hockey four times a week and all my injuries healed, no more knee braces or ankle braces, or back pain. Check out Nimai Delgado, he's a vegan body builder and looks great. The some of the strongest animals are plant based, gorilla's, elephants ect. Also plant based is one of the only diets that heals chronic diseases . Check out Dr. Brooke goldners videos she heals chronic diseases with plant based diets.
If you want to see why there is so much confusion in the information, I highly recommend Plant Chompers you tube videos , he really goes deep in the studies and shows how people come up with false and confusing info. He does it just because he wants to know the truth. It will show you your are on the right path. I think a lot of people doing the plant based diet make the mistake of eating to few calories and that is why the fail. @@FiftyPlusBeauty
Hello sweet Beth! This was an excellent video! I so much appreciate your respectful reply and your research information! You are truly a kind person! I’m 62 and have been mostly ketovore off and on but have been having so many issues lately with meat and fat aversions and just not feeling optimal! I read Dr Greger’s books and they really resonated with me. I started following his way of eating (along with “lean” meats for extra protein)! I have been so confused trying to find the healthiest diet, everyone has their input, but it’s mostly just opinions. I pray that you stay healthy and please keep us posted on how this is working for you. I am following your lead! God bless you sweet friend ❣️🙏
I am so impressed with you and Dr.Baker. You both have been so gracious towards one another. I hate it when people are vicious towards others over their diets! You are a beautiful person, Beth.❤
Ultimately you need to find the diet that works for you. There really is no "one diet fits all" diet. Me personally the vegetarian/vegan diet was making my diabetes worse but without trying the ultra low carb approach I would never have known it could be stabilized and put into remission.
Those tiny strokes are common in older people. My grandmother ate bread like their was no tomorrow and when she got older she started getting them strokes. She had them for 30 years before she died. I will stick with my Carnivore at 69.
Is all individual but 99% more strokes are in plant diet or vegan. I have 2012 a stroke when I was vegan and many my long vegan friends are 80% ill. KR
Don't forget that seafood & white fish are also Carnivore. So you can still do a Ketovore type diet. I love your podcast & I love Dr Baker too. Working together to figure this out will help all of mankind. Much love 🌹🌹
Beth, I’m just glad you’re doing well❤ I love watching you, you are such a sweetheart. You have to find the best path in life for you. Take care sweetheart ❤❤❤❤❤
Oh my goodness Beth. It's so discouraging that there are so many varying opinions even among the medical community and among various studies. The general public doesn't know what to believe anymore nor whose research is reliable. In regard to the doctor's comment re frailty wondering if you've had a dexascan to measure that. Thanks for all the info you provide.
We really can't trust dexascans either--they unnecessarily scare so many older people into taking drugs with horrible side effects. My mid 70s mom was told she had osteoporosis, but she fell hard on her hips and is fine! Not even a fracture. She eats mostly plant-based (now going more carnivore), exercises, lifts light weights and uses a whole-body vibration machine.
You were so welcome and it is very confusing. I think the food industry makes us to be confused. That means we’ll just throw up our hands and eat what they want us to eat.
And you have arrived!!! What a treat to have someone so popular as him to discuss your video! Knowledge is power and it's always good to have opinions from people who are actually in the know, as opposed to people who just disagree, and anything other than their opinion must be a malicious lie, a conspiracy, or made up. Anyway, I remember reading a comment from someone asking about your ibs - you said it had calmed down again - i would like to know more if poss! Also, any sugar cravings or desire to just have a sandwhich for once!?
Hi Emily. Actually, I just meet MAid a what I eat in a day video that will air next Saturday and in that video I do have a very nice sandwich. I have to eat gluten-free bread due to my IBS but it seems to work pretty well. Yes, I have noticed that my IBS has kicked up on the carnivore diet but I have discovered some things that are really helping with that. Also, the reason IBS gets worse on the carnivore diet is not exactly what I thought it was. I will make a video about that soon. Thanks again. So much for your comment.
I appreciate this video and information. I was just curious if the doctors considered the cvd vax as a cause? My sister had clots and it was caused by this they think.
🇬🇧 re: strokes I was told to make sure to drink a litre of water before lunch and a litre of water after lunch. I guess that's to thin the blood. On the news the other day ,it was mentioned that, some vegetarians have higher cholesterol. Interesting. Maybe, it's to do with eating more cheese.
Excellent point. There are quite a few vegans, and vegetarians with heart disease. You can take any dietary style and eat lots of junk food unfortunately. I know. I used to be a master of that.
Beautifully explained diet and lifestyle choice! I’m excited to see your results on WFPB. I’m trying to get back to that, (maybe with occasional fish) I fell off a couple years ago.
Thank you Beth and happy you are doing well without side effects. In your research, have you found that women that have had strokes develop memory lapses? My sister is mostly vegetarian, lots of tofu etc and exercises daily. However, Ive notice that when engaging in communication she doesn't follow up on things that she requested (and really things I don't want to answer lol). Anyway, I am carnivore and she is vegetarian, and we have agreed to have our own way of taking care of our health. BTW, this is her 2nd stroke, she looks as beautiful as ever, no problems with speech or motor skills I am just concerned about mental health. Cheers and any comments are appreciated. I don't want to think that we cann't remember our childhood and other events of our youth. They were so fun!
There is always at least 80 percent genetics at play and somehow we forget that. Healthy people get cancer and smoker ( my dad) live long lives ( he’s 92). My mom is much more frail in 80s and eats vegetarian with just fish. Go figure. We can’t control what God has decided just do are best. This is just my opinion of course. Perhaps your sister is predisposed to dementia?
@@Laura, I believe our brains need saturated fats. I feel the keto diet is protective against dementia as well because of keeping the blood sugar low. Dr. Anthony Chaffee did a discussion on dementia a couple of months back. Maybe you can get your sister to listen. :)
@@deedee, luckily, genetics play a _much_ smaller role than 80%. 😅 There's a lot we can do for sure, but I agree with you that in the end, we are in God's hands, and isn't that so wonderful to know! Your dad grew up when food & our environment was much healthier. Your mom probably needs more animal proteins, as we need more protein when we age, and animal proteins are the easiest for our bodies to assimilate. Plant-based doctor, Joel Furhman, actually recommends eggs to older people. 💗
Wow, I am so sorry about your sister. You know, I don’t know about that issue for sure. I know my mother just ate the standard American diet and unfortunately she is now developing dementia. Laura is my sister’s name! Great name! It’s nice that you and your sister can agree to disagree.
For anyone that wants to see it, Dr. Baker is also saying now that the Carnivore Diet is not meant for everyone and not meant for everyone long-term, and he's the one who coined the term, The Carnivore Diet. He said he uses it as a "tool" for getting people healthy and he said, "use as needed." He says it in a podcast on his channel that was about 2 months ago with a Belgian psychologist, that has "Unbreakable" in title. The Belgian psychologist is young, in a grey sweatshirt on the thumbnail. The psychologist, very fit and healthy, 34, also went from strict carnivore to adding in fruit and honey to his diet. Dr. Baker says it toward the end of the video. I think it's a great video showing that Dr. Baker is not so dogmatic in his thinking like some of the other Carnivore doctors.
The diet that makes the most sense to me is based on personal genetics. What did your ancestors eat? If they were Chinese, African, Italian or Middle Eastern, for example, it was very different from the current American diet. Hawaiians and Native Americans have many health problems. When some returned to eating the same foods their ancestors did, all those problems vanished! Eskimos survived on the carnivore diet, eating fat and meat almost exclusively. Genetically their bodies could handle it.
I think with some time you'll regret moving to a plant based diet. Those of us who have been there and destroyed our health eating that way, know the truth. But sometimes you need to experience things for yourself. Meat builds muscle and strength and it heals bodies. That has been my experience and the experience of many others but will be interested to see how you go moving forward!
I started carnivore a year ago and then switched to Keto (+ green vegetables form time to time) combined with meat, pork and chicken. During this year, everything improved and I even cured my anxiety (a leftover from covid in 2022). One thing I want to emphasize here, I had a lab work done every 3 months and one of them was the Prothrombin Time (PT) which measures coagulation in the blood. Very important and I did this test (for me to confirm I'm on the right track) and so I was. Definitely, we cannot blame the carnivore for the stroke since there are a lot of other contributing factors to it, aside from what the 4 doctors told you. Maybe you had your platelets and white blood cells high all this time and those have nothing to do with the kind of food you eat. They could be genetic. Well anyway, the most important thing here is not eating refined carbs, sugar and gluten and all is good.
@@Rgrrgr175 FDA just came out with a study that the COVID vaccine caused heart inflammation. My husband and daughters believed in the narrative and got vaccinated. No boosters that I know of. I am waiting on the inevitable and it's heartbreaking because I don't want to be a widow with no kids.
@@FiftyPlusBeautyThank you for your honesty. However, you’re much too trusting of the medical establishment and of the federal government. How many lies and half-truths does the federal government and the medical establishment have to tell you before you come to your senses and stop being so gullible??!
My last booster was two years before the stroke and I am not finding any real evidence that the Covid vaccine actually causes strokes or blood clots. There was one small study that indicated a problem in 2019 with one specific Pfizer booster shot but that was disputed. I will be making a video about that soon.
@@lindalarue1722 To be called a Vaccine they must stop the virus, stop transmission and reduce death. They do none of the 3. They are experimental gene therapy imjections.
Dear Beth unfortunately there is a lot coming out about the *v* regarding blodcloths, stroke, heart attacks, cancer, auto immune diseases and so on. Unfortunately you will find information about this is not in mainstream literature, but there are many doctors aware of this. It can cause blodcloths after months and even years after. The mRna makes your body produce the "spike proteïne" and there does not seem to be an "off" switch for that. Coroners and embalmers are finding a horrendous amount of clots in corpses after the rollout. Go watch the movie "died suddenly" I can send you more information from highly regarded specialists in their field on what they are seeing in the vaccinated.
Beth, you are so sweet & kind and I love your attitude toward life & people. I think we all have our own diet paths and hopefully can learn about what our bodies like or don't like, what they do well with, in terms of diets, and not so great with. I am currently on the lower carb way of eating and love seeing everyone's educated perspective and experience. I was plant based for several years and didn't mind that way of eating but had to give up grains and glutens due to medical diagnosis. Anyway, wishing you peace and wellness on your food journey and I look forward to more diet related videos from you.
Thank you very much for your kind supportive comment. I am so happy you have found an eating plan that is working so well for you! I appreciate you sharing.
I just had an ER visit and health scare just a few weeks into my carnivore diet.Due to test results and labs, I also chose to go on a whole food plant based diet as well. I feel much safer and healthier . I am so happy that you are doing great and with your new diet should live a long and healthy life. Thanks for sharing that advice about excercise and protien.
I am so glad you were fortunate like me! We both got to have a health scare instead of something much worse. I am also happy your Whole Foods plant-based. Nice to have you with me!
Beth I started doing carnivore with you and than I tried the keto diet and up my fat intake and also ate a lot more red met. After learning about your stroke I was tested by my doctor and my cholesterol went from 210 to 249 in a little over a year. I don’t smoke or drink and exercise and try to do everything healthy. The only change for me was the cholesterol increase so it is back to vegetables ,fruit and chicken. I am so thankful for you. I guess some can get away with eating lots of fat and red meat but clearly you and I are not one of them. You are so kind and I love your videos.
Dr. Anthony Chaffee has great videos on the cholesterol scam--it's actually documented that we were all lied to. My high cholesterol briefly scared me away from keto too, but now I'm back and carnivore. :)
Hi Miss Andy. It sounds like we are definitely cut from the same bolt of cloth! Lol! My cholesterol also went from the low 200s up to around 240. I am so happy you are following your doctor with regard to the cholesterol. When I used to be carnivore, I just believed influencers who cherry picked certain studies and tried to tell us that high saturated fat and high cholesterol does not matter. it really does matter and you are a smart woman to figure that out. God bless you and I wish you well and your health journey.
Please look more deeply into that. I used to follow Anthony Chafee and I do not believe those studies anymore. The Framingham heart disease steady covered about 15,000 people over three generations. No one with a cholesterol below 160 and an LDL below 80 had a heart attack. Not one person.
Hi Beth, carnivore here. You had a stroke and had to use the system that is anti carnivore. You made your decision within that system and it is totally understandable. Thank you for the video and I hope you do well in the future whatever path you choose!
Love this video Beth. We will have to chat. I’d love to discuss this with you more. My advice. To your viewers is health care workers need to stay in their lane.
Hats off to Dr. Michael Gregor for all of his dedication and hard work!! He is the very best of the best at researching all of the scientific data on food and health and giving the honest facts on all of his findings. Beth you look great!!!
Thank you so much! I love Dr. Gregor, too! He’s an amazing researcher plus obviously just a very nice person. From all three of his best selling books, he doesn’t take any profits at all. Wow!
@@FiftyPlusBeauty You are welcome. I can tell a difference in your skin since you have changed your diet. It looks great! Yes, I love Dr. Gregor too. He is an awesome researcher and it all started with his grandmother being sent home to die at age 65. She changed to a healthy diet and lifestyle and lived another 31 years. That says a lot about him not taking any profits from any of his books!

The bottom line, Beth, is that its YOUR life. You know yourself, past, present, and future. No "influencer" loves you or cares about you more than you love yourself. Its between you, your family, and God. There's SO much information out there. But, it's wisdom that matters most for our lives.♥️🇨🇦
100%
Beth, thank you for supporting, those that want to hear, with information, compassion and wisdom. Don’t even listen to the haters. Stress will harm your health as well. So, Do what you’ve learned is best for you and keep sharing. Love it! God Bless you!!!
@ophelialeverett1 the experts only care about money and the elites want to ban meat. All you need to know.
So true and very well put! Thank you so much for leaving that comment Amanda. I appreciate that.
God bless you too, Ophelia! Thank you so much.
I love that this conversation is so respectful, and that you are willing to share his perspective in spite of your personal stance at this time. It's really great and really important.
Thank you so much!
It's dangerous to take a grifter like Baker seriously. This dude is a dangerous narcistist, and a bit of an idot.
@@FiftyPlusBeautyyou should be aware that Baker is a liar. And his physical fitnes(hahaha) is mostly steriods. While i agree we should respect others, some oeople should not be respected. .
I've been a full carnivore for the last 30 years of my life. I'm 60 years young with no health issues at all.
I highly doubt you have been carnivore for 30 years with no supplements and not cheating with no added plants to your diet cus then that isn’t the carnivore diet
I just made a study that you might want to see. On 20 year period your chance of death is 50% compared to 37% of normal population. Granted this includes bread eaters as well, but If I get enough viewers I will adjust the study variables and you'll get the truth that NHANES I dataset already tells..
Well I'm 80 and I smoked for 30 years and I'm good too. Always depends on the individual.
That’s so great that that’s working for you. Thanks for sharing that.
That is so true! Congrats on having a good long life!
Just watched his video. I loved that he was informative and respectful. I can’t stand when people attack others over a diet.
Yes, I am so with you. He really had every right to attack me and he didn’t at all. Dr. Baker is a very gracious person for sure. I can see why he’s so popular.
Well I certainly appreciate Shawn’s approach and open minded response to you. I’m grateful he didn’t bash you. It’s very unbecoming of him when he does that. This was one of the best videos From Shawn Baker. And great helpful suggestions and his thoughts on stroke and heart disease. It’s all about WHATS BEST FOR YOU, not anyone else.
So true! Thanks for sharing.
💗 Beth, you are so loving & gracious. I love so much the kindness & respect between you and Dr. Shawn, because it's _so_ rare to see today! I was WFPB for over 15 years, and I'm now carnivore, but I think both diets can be very helpful--many get healed on both. None of us know what the perfect diet is--it really is trial and error. Wishing everyone the best!
Thank you so much for your very kind words of support. I really do think Dr. Baker is a very gracious man.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty
You are so very welcome, Beth!! ❤️
Beth, I am so proud of you. Though we've never met I think of you as a friend and I'm proud to call you that. What a clear, thoughtful and respectful video. And beautiful job by Dr. Baker too, which gave you a springboard actually to further research and explain your conclusions. I've not had a stroke, that I know of, but I have a lot of strokes on my dad's side of the family and arteriosclerosis on my mother's so though I may not go full vegan, I now think I would be smart to rethink my carnivore/keto efforts of late. And I so agree with you about treating others as you would want to be treated. God bless you
God bless you too Cinnie! I’m sorry that you have had heart disease which runs in your family, but the more I read and research the more I realize that does not have to mean we will actually come down without type of problem. I think you were wise to be adding more fruits and veggies to your diet. For me, even before I became keto and carnivore, they were probably whole months where I never had any fruit, and almost no vegetables. I count you as a friend and I so much love having you here with me on my channel. You make even the challenges seem pretty OK.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty yes Beth - it's not so much the meat in the diet, it's the lack of fruit & veg, especially vegetables. They contain fibre and valuable nutrients. I know it's not easy when we suffer with IBS x
@@TheMijas07not much nutrients anymore, but full of pesticides. Watch doctor Ken berry.
Dr John Campbell does a very good job of covering the vax and higher strokes.
Thanks for that. I will check him out.
Yeah let's see if she admits to taking the shot. Let's get to the bottom of this.
THIS!!!! It's huge! Stroke and cardiovascular events mightily increased since the introduction of the shot.
...as most of the doctors do...they earned a lot of easy money with the jabs!
...as most of the doctors do...They earned a lot of easy money with the jabs!
That was sweet. You were so respectful toward Dr. Baker and very balanced in the way you handled things. I'm following this (I follow you and him both anyway). It's really interesting to note all the things you both have to say.
You are so welcome! I appreciate it, that you follow both of us!
I was whole food plant based and switched to ketovore and feel so much better especially mentally. Good luck and we all need to do research.
Me too 100%
Yaass me three and in my sixties. I feel so much better eliminating seed oils in particular. I'm mostly carnivore, but more like ketovore.
So true and I’m so glad you found an eating plan that works so well for you.
I did the opposite. Eating low-carb for so many years messed me up. Going plant/based higher carb has healed me.
Good finally you understand that you where low in taurine and creatine, too bad now you are probably developing accelerated CVD for this 2 missing elements, seems like a good trade-off right? 😂
What an excellent video! "Love and respect is the way to go" -- absolutely! I would love it if you could make a future video addressing the issue of getting enough protein on a plant-based diet. Thanks, Beth!
Thanks for mentioning that. I will do that for sure!
I myself have been at my best physically and health wise with a plant based diet. I do love that Dr. Baker’s response was so kind and respectful. Whatever dietary path we choose we are all aiming to be healthier and I think he has good intentions, but so does Dr. Esselstyn and Dr. Gregger and the other plant based doctors I’ve seen. Great video by Dr. Baker, though, and good advice on doing resistance training.
Thats so great you are health and thriving on plant based diet! You look super healthy and young! 🌿🌾🍊💞
Awesome video Beth! I have been following Dr Greger's WFPB suggestions for 30 days now and feel amazing. I was eating vegetarian about 9 years ago and felt terrible because I was eating a lot of processed foods even though I avoided meat, fish and poultry. I didn't understand at the time how to get protein without meat. Now that I am following the WFPB diet this is a completely different approach! Eating Dr Greger's daily dozen has been very helpful for me. I hope I stick with it! Glad you are on your journey to recovery.
Congratulations on that! I am so happy for you and hope it goes well.
Beth, you're the sweetest and I'm so sorry this happened to you. In 2021, at healthy 47 years old, I had a blood clot in my lung (Pulmonary Embolism/PE) which is life threatening. No clots were found anywhere else in my body. Before my diagnosis, in less than a month I took a round trip flight from Phoenix to New York. But I was also deep into the Ketogenic way of eating. And years of paleo years prior to Keto. I was also vaccinated one time 4 months prior to my PE. Like you experienced, various doctors had various opinions as to why I clotted. And of course the public chimes in when I share my story.. many quite rudly. I am still on anticoagulants because According to National Blood Clot Alliance, once you clot you are automatically at risk to clot again in 10 years.. that is the case with 33%. Anyhow, my carnivore doctor stated that I may do better on a lower-carb diet vs any others out there. It's not easy to sift through all the data and make the best decision for ourselves moving forward.
Overall, I admire your continued research and kindness displayed throughout your journey you've chosen to share despite all the controversy. Blessings to you moving forward, Beth 🙏 ❤
Blessings to you too and I am glad you found what works for you. Yes, that is a scary statistic about clots and or strokes. Kind of being repetitive events. You are right that it is very confusing to pick through all the various dietary camps. Thank you for your very nice comment. I appreciate it that you watched my video.
The human body is so complicated with so, so many internal and external factors that may or may not play a part in our health. We can only do what you have been doing, Beth, which is to educate ourselves as best we can from many sources and then decide where to go from there.
Keeping an open mind and being flexible as we go forward and making adjustments as we experience and/or learn new information is part of our personal health journey and takes many paths.
Thank you so much for sharing your stroke experience. It has been so very informative. And a big thanks to you and Dr. Baker for continuing the conversation. It is refreshing, and important, to see two grownups discussing topics respectfully. Continued good health to you, Beth!
Thank you so much for your very nice comments. You were so right about everything you shared.
I'm wondering if you've had a bunch of jabs and if any of the doctors have even considered that.
That’s what l was thinking but doctors can’t talk about that they have follow big pharma money money 😊
I had two Covid shots plus a booster about 1 1/2 to 2 years ago. I am not finding any research which supports that the Covid shot causes blood clots and strokes. I am finding research at having Covid can do that though.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty
Please see Dr. John Campbell's channel. He is presenting a lot of research that supports how the vax is harming people. Mainstream media and experts cannot be trusted.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty You might be doing research on the mainstream level and need to dig deeper into the quantum level and find the hoards of doctors and those performing autopsies that have found blood clots (and not just normal clots) since the first run of jabs. Anyone paid under big pharma will either not be aware or will be too afraid to lead you to the studies. At this point, with all the young athletes dropping on the field (never seen in history), it would be like intentionally putting blinders on to ignore it.
Beth you are not going to find research on it because it is being supressed.
I love this follow up you gave. You are such a sincere, thoughtful, truth-seeking person of kind heart and humility and I'm so proud of you. You are such a wonderful example to all of us, and I truly appreciate you!!! Many blessings to you sweet Beth!! xoxo
And by another reason altogether I just looked up James chapter 4, and in it is written (and made me think of you!
Thank you so much sweet Melanie. You’re a sweetheart!
That is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing that as I had never noticed it. It’s beautiful.
I am glad you are doing this series. My son had a heart attack when he was 43. He had lost 60 pounds on keto. Was doing an hour of cardio a day and had a heart attack. One Doctor said I don't care what diet you use as long as you keep your weight down. The other one said keto is bad. He went vegan for a month but couldn't keep his weight down. So he went back to keto. It is so confusing.
I’m glad your son came through that OK. I’m sure it was a very scary time for you. I wish you both well for sure.
The term vegan is misleading to those who want to follow a dietary protocol.
WHOLE food plant based is more useful to those who want to improve their health.
Hour of cardio is unnecessary.
It wasn’t confusing before. We all just ate plant based. Meat wasn’t available as it is now.
Is she vaccinated ?
Greetings Beth! I saw Dr. Baker's video too and I noticed how respectful and open minded he was. Thank you for sharing your life Beth! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Thank you! You too Jean!
I like your attitude toward seemingly criticisms and that you were able to take the positives and prepare such a nice video. It was well thought out. It isn’t easy being in the spotlight where so many people share their opinions about you. Really, no matter what choices we make there will always be someone who disagrees with it. It’s nice to be able to disagree and have cordial conversations!
Thank you for your great comment as it was a wonderful reminder that no matter what we do, someone will disagree with it. It reminds me of my son and his belief in the fundamentals of cognitive behavioral therapy. In fact, next week, I will be sharing a video about that sort of therapy which features my son explaining it. he says it’s always important to remember that we can only control ourselves and what we do say and feel. We can’t ever control other people. Your comment was a great reminder of that and I appreciate it.
@@FiftyPlusBeautyYes, there is a similar line in The Course in Miracles. It says, "only what you are not giving, can be lacking in any situation." Can't wait to see the video with your son!
Plant based was awful for me personally (Type 2 Diabetic) I’m almost 100% medication free 2 months in but I respect your decision.
It sounds like you have really found what is working for you. I am so glad for you. I wish it had worked for me.
It's worked well for me the last ten years. We truly are all different. God's best to you.
So strange. I am 77 and have been carnivore now for 8 months. My LDL and cholesterol are extremely low! Almost off the chart low. I can't digest vegetables - they show up in the toilet. I was vegetarian for over a year and I became severely anemic. Some of the alternative proteins like pea protein make me have stomach and headaches. Maybe we just have very different needs? I hope you will let us know after about a year the differences in your blood work:)
Same!
Thanks for sharing! I am glad the carnivore is working so well for you.
I've been a healthy 56yo vegan for the last ten years. I guess it depends on the individual. God's best to you. 💖
I got very sick being a vegan. My doctor is vegan and he told me he has found some people just don't suit it. (When I say sick I mean very seriously ill with blood tests and labs to back it up) I unfortunately have developed mast cell disease now and can't have a limited diet so I can't try all these new things lol I truly do believe that people are different and do best when they eat what's best for them. Be blessed ❤
Oh, and I want to add that the improvement with the carnivore way of eating that I most appreciate is that my arthritis pain disappeared. I used to be on prescription painkillers plus over the max ibuprofen every day. I do hope you get the benefits you want.
Excellent recap and very best true wisdom to end the video, proud of you. You are an amazing woman and I am so glad we are friends. Love you lots, Beth!
You're the best! Teri, I love you girl!!!!!!!
Wise choice. Good job doing your due diligence researching and discovering credible sources. There are so many wfpb athletes, fitness professionals and health conscious people that are definitely not frail and weak. See Game Changers for a glimpse at people excelling and thriving on a wfpb lifestyle. Aloha!
My life purpose & passion for the past 13 years has been to reverse chronic disease which includes strokes, heart attacks, cancer and dementia among thousands of other conditions. Nothing degrades more lives, costs more money, reduces productivity more nor KILLS more people than chronic disease. It’s humanity’s BIGGEST problem and nothing else is even close. I am confident you had a stroke bc you are FILLED with visceral fat which is the NUMBER ONE cause of chronic disease and so the biggest killer of humans. Google: Stroke, Visceral Fat and than ask yourself after: “Why hasn’t a single one of all the doctors who treated me or are discussing me on line once mentioned Visceral Fat”? It’s because it is kept out of medical schools by Big Pharma so doctors literally dont know about it. Carnivores & Vegans are filled are often or even usually filled with it. It’s NOT just diet so just going carnivores or vegan is NOT enough. There is way way way way more to chronic disease and so visceral fat than just diet. An MRI reveals the invisible visceral fat you have in you. I DM’ed you to work with you for FREE to show you how much you have and why you had your stroke. I will donate $5k to charity if you are not filled with visceral fat. Please be a part of the solution to help promote awareness this deadly process in people almost no one knows about. You could help improve and even save millions of lives Beth. 🙏
I am on TH-cam as well but with many fewer followers under @DrSeanOMara where I do videos on clogged arteries which open when you get rid of visceral fat and how much people improve their health, performance and APPEARANCE. You can see how much my face and other people’s faces improve by eliminating visceral fat. NOTHING improves human appearance more than eliminating visceral fat. Hopefully that might appeal to your followers interested in beauty.
I've often thought it's visceral fat on stomach and isn't that the most dangerous?
@@DrSeanOMara I am one your followers and love your videos.... I started eating more fermented food and do work out implementing HIIT since watching you.
She is so tiny and slim! How can she have visceral fat?
OMG, it is not kept out of medical school training!
Diet that works best for me is very low sugar, and alcohol. No ultra processed foods or junk food at all. Moderate to low carbs, Mostly plant based with some fatty fish and meat. I guess it would be called a mediterranean/omnivore diet. Good luck to you and stay healthy!
Congratulations. It sounds like you are on a very clean diet.
Beth I just wanted to mention this as I've had a stroke as well. (Not diet related it was the stress of losing my mother) I found out that you need to take vitamin k2 along with your vitamin D3 so that you don't have calcium going to your organs, soft tissue and arteries. It may not be the cause of your stroke or mine but it certainly is helpful in preventing them plus the bonus is stronger bones since k2 helps usher calcium into bones and teeth. I hope you read this! With love from a long time supporter and fan! 🙂❤
the alternative is to eat natto. The Japanese eat natto for breakfast every day. It is an acquired taste, but after you get used to it, it is much easier than taking a supplement, which may or may not have been oxidized. Oxidized K2 is not that helpful, as I understand. So make sure your supplement is protected against oxidation.
Thank you Beth for your Grace and poise…a true roll model. Kindness and respect always.
You’re a sweetheart!
@@FiftyPlusBeauty Hope all is well with you 💓 im just learning about carnivore diet...not sure yet if will try ...but interesting. Just noticed you gave everyone a heart except
@mariaespiritu9512 She was so sweet and kind and said she is healthy on plant based diet. Which is great! She also praised all the doctors for their good intentions. Just wondering if its because she is happy and healthy on a plant based diet and not praising the carnivore diet.
Wow, Beth! What a fantastic, gracious video you made! So well thought out and presented. Great response to Dr. Baker and the community! Glad you're doing so well and I'm also transitioning to more of a WFPB diet. I love these videos. Please keep them coming. Your thought of the day was very on point in this very divisive world right now. Thank you!!!
You are so welcome! After that thought for the day kind of came out, I realized that that’s pretty much all of her feelings about our whole world in general lately. Somehow, we need to get back to kindness and respect for each other, even if our opinions differ. God bless you and thank you so much for your very wonderful comment. I will appreciate appreciate it.
And not one Dr blames the 💉🤔along with a plane ride. To each thier own. My mother 78yrs old was mainly plant-based, salads and fruits lots of veg and some tuna. She had gotten so hateful and paranoid i had to have my son drop off her food. After he moved it was back to me. So, after looking for brain health ( cbd and medical marijuana) i just changed her diet. More meat and eggs she has broccoli and these tiny ice cream cones. I didn't want her to realize i took everything away. She is SO much better it's amazing.
Side note on the 💉my daughter has cml a rare form of leukemia. Her cancer doctor said no don't get that. But as soon as it was mandated and everyone was being threatened with their jobs. He told her to get it, oh, it's fine..BS 🤬 thankfully she said no. She already takes one experimental drug. Don't get me wrong, I'm appreciative of the drug she's on. It's keeping her alive, but for all of us to be mandated to take a shot, not knowing who's going to react when everyone has different reactions to things. Sorry this was so long. Just some food for thought 😂
Thanks so much for your comments. I appreciated hearing from you.
Im sorry that your family got suckered into taking these experimental 💉.
You are a wonderful daughter to think outside the medical establishment and change your mothers diet. This is a powerful moment in both your life & your mothers life. Im proud of you!! 💙
I feel like Beth is either easily brain washed by doctors by saying her diet caused her stroke or she is in denial that the experimental 💉 caused her strokes. Either way she needs to do her reserach to see the truth that these EXPERIMENTAL 💉 caused her stroke just like they have caused strokes in so many world wide including children & young adults.
good doctors since this crazy push of these EXPERIMENTAL 💉 have been all of the n. et. adivsing people to avoid them. And, now for the last several years have been advising people who are sick by them to eat the Keto diet with intermittant fasting. Which you are doing this for your mother!! You listened to your gut instincts & used your prior education of keto/carnivore diet and remembering they are both healing diets.
I wish Beth would look up VAERS (this is the offical CDC 💉 injury reporting cite where over 2 MILLION US citizens have posted their injury from these Experimental 💉. The reason why there are are not more reports is the simple fact the CDC is doing everything in their power to prevent people from filing reports including telling hosptials to tell doctors/nurses NOT to report. YEP blantant massive corruption by CDC/Hosptial admin.
Beth also needs to wa..tch. "D...r...Fuell..mich grand jury day1" = SHOCKING exposing the lies and crimes against humanity for these EXPERIMENTAL 💉 WORTH everyones time to watch. Beth will then wake up and realize she is STILL being hoodwinked & bamboozled by her Doctors and Hospital about what caused her stroke and how to cure her body. SOOO many you tubers have had strokes including a Young 30 year old Italian man who traveled in a van with his wife and now live in a home in Italy. (cant remember their chan name). They too were told by the doctors it's "rare" stoke for him. which is a blantant LIE.
*sorry so long and sorry for the ..... .....for the vid above = has to be in code these days.
why do you delete my comments Beth about the EXPERIMENTAL 💉 and the strokes that were caused by them world wide? Why dont you look into this aspect of your strokes? You should. Start with watching "Dr fuellmich grand jury day 1" = exposing everything. Your doctors are LYING to you...they have been told by the Hospital Admin to say "your stroke is rare". remember the hospitals and doctors were PAID big money to push these EXPERIMENTAL shtos on the US & World citizens. YES PAID BIG MONEY. Ask your doctor about this. WAKE UP Beth about what caused your stroke so that you can heal your body properly. Look up VAERS = over 2 MILLION US citizens have reported their vx injury on this govt cite. You should too. WAKE UP Beth to the truth so you can eat the proper diet to heal your body. @@FiftyPlusBeauty
I concur - Occam's razor & the gaslighting from doctors is very bad. (they know many ppl are having strokes and heart attack/failure from the V) Do hope you will decide to see a doctor who can rule this out & if not treat you for the damage (ck out Dr Pierre Kory) Best to you!
these EXPERIMENTAL 💉 are causing these Strokes and also heart attacks and other major injuries...over 2 MILLION US citzens have filed 💉 reports on the offical C. D. C cite including massive injuries of Strokes. WAKE UP eveyrone. The govt officals intentionally made people sick with these EXPERIMETAL 💉 which were give out and is a VIOLATION OF THE NUREMBERG CODE. do your due dilligants and look up this truth.
My grandmother had been a strict vegetarian since about age 12 and ended up having 2 strokes
My grandmother was also and she had no stokes and lived to 100.
That’s too bad. Thanks for sharing that.
Did you get the ClotShot? That's what it sounds like to me.
Yes, but it was two years before the stroke.
@@FiftyPlusBeautyI really hope you do more research before leaving the keto or carnivore way of eating. If you follow Dr John Campbell and listen to his videos on the Covid vaccinations it may help you decide which way you go. Good luck
Dr Pradip Jamnadas is a cardiologist that has many videos here on TH-cam and he is big on fasting along with all foods that do not have a label. I know meat has labels but he includes meats, vegetables, fruits, etc so basically a Whole Foods diet. This approach seems like a really good plan to me and one I plan to try.
Thanks for sharing. I will check out his channel for sure!
Meat doesn't have labels. It has a expiration date, not labels. The processed meat has, but that's not meat.
Thank you for the video. Especially thank you for your beautiful, inspirational thoughts. I agree with you 100%.
I just want to say that in all my research, the healthiest diet is the Mediterranean diet. It is important that you have a lot of protein and I drink a very healthy protein shake every morning. We all do the best we can. Let’s not be so hard on ourselves and love ourselves and each other as God loves us. 😇💕
Yeah. A dietitian at my work said that she doesn’t believe in diets aside from the Mediterranean diet.
Which protein shakes? I just started drinking Clean and Simple Eats brand and I am enjoying it but would like to know it there is a healthier brand. Thank you!
Thanks so much for your very very good comments, Sandy. You’re right, we need to remember how much God loves us and love ourselves even half as much.
I have been getting my protein powder for my chocolate shakes I make from Costco. It is a brand called Orgain.
The studies that show what your saying are bullshit and prove nothing
Thank you, everyone is different and we need to respect that. Glad you are feeling well.
Thank you so much, Vivian! I appreciate your kind support.
I wish people would stop lumping everyone in the same category regarding what’s a proper diet. It’s getting tiresome to see. We are all different and the only person that knows what’s best for you is you and your doctor due to your bloodwork, lifestyle, weight, genetics, etc etc etc. Beth you do you and ignore the rest.❤️
Thanks so much for your comment. I appreciate that.
Agreed.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty❤️
Thank you for saying that. I eat according to my genotype/blood type and some genotypes do well with beef and such and some do not (mine does not...I can have limited fish and eggs and mostly am plant-based).
@@loverofbeautifulthings❤️
Hallelujah! Wonderful close Beth. We have access to so much information today that it is difficult to know which end is up. I too have bounced between paleo, keto, WFPB … it is tiresome at best. At the end of the day, we’re all just doing our best. Thank you again for a lovely, thoughtful video. Melody
You are so welcome melody! You sound exactly like me! Lol! We keep trying to come up with the perfect diet. Hopefully we will both come up with something soon that we really feel good about. God bless you and thanks for sharing.
No attacking whatsoever. I also want to crack the code on saturated fat risk factor. My issue is that there’s totally new thinking about high LDL, my experience corroborates it.
Thanks for the honest video!
Thanks so much. I have heard about the new thinking, but unfortunately think it is contradicted by a mass of other studies. I used to believe exactly like you did when I was carnivore. Each to his own though for sure, and I really appreciate you leaving a comment.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty thank you Beth for your transparency in such a controversial issue. I still continue to research the matter, to be continued..!
I'm in my sixties and seem to be doing much better off seed oils. All of my sensitivities and allergic episodes have disappeared eliminating them, and I don't need that handful of OTC meds during the day. It's much better. I have a congenital heart condition and come from a family that had clogged arteries. My labs are really good on ketovore so I won't change now. I do have vegetables a couple of times a week, but cannot handle seed oils and feel much better using just real grass fed butter when needed. Maybe it varies by the individual or blood type. I think you should do what you feel is best for your own health, no matter who says what. I only really trust emergency medicine and most doctors are so uneducated about real nutrition. They're only interested in maintaining their standing in their profession and making bank on medication.
Thank you so much for sharing your health journey. It sounds like you have found something that is really working for you. I appreciate you sharing.
I am relieved you are looking into plant based. The science really does support it to keep us all healthy.
My father knows multiple people who have got cancer and all of them for some reason were meat eaters and hated veggies.
That’s not surprising Mark. Look up T Colin Campbell. You are right. Meat eating is linked w higher rates of cancer.
You did such a great job on this video and handle those who disagree with you with such grace. I think it’s great you are taking your diet and health seriously. I felt great on the carnivore diet too but recently switched to a Mediterranean style of eating. I just want to live a long, healthy, happy life for my family. I don’t know for sure what is correct and I appreciate watching your videos and hearing your perspective.
I hope you wouldn't mind me asking, what was the reason for you to switch to a Mediterranean style of eating? Just curious.
@@neilnewinger3059 That's a fair question! I switched because I couldn't break through a weight loss stall after an initial weight loss on carnivore (I was carnivore a year and a half) and I felt myself losing energy when working out and gaining some inflammation/water retention back in my face and legs that I had initially lost. I loved Carnivore so much at first. I felt euphoric the first year. Also I started to experience quite a bit of nausea and stomach issues the last month. I just want to focus on being sustainably healthy and not extreme. In the past, a whole food plant based gave me the body I wanted but I didn't feel my best either after a few years. I want to try something more moderate but still away from the standard american diet of processed foods/seed oils as those seem to be the worse for me.
@@arachnid33 Thanks for your explanation. It makes sense to experiment and change the diet when it doesn't work. I am so far quite happy with carnivore and I do not need to lose weight. I thought that you might be scared of something serious like a stroke. I can understand Beth especially after finding out that she already has had those ministrokes. That means there is something systematically wrong and the carnivore diet did not really help with it. My father had had such ministrokes they found only after he had a serious one. But his diet was far from healthy.
I am so happy you have found an eating plan that is working for you. I wish you great success with that!
Great video Beth! I loved how you ended it. It's biblical A Kind word takes away Wrath❤
That is a wonderful quote from the Bible! Thanks for sharing that.
Yes, treat others the way we want to be treated. All sentient individuals should be included in that way of life. :)
Beth, I mean no disrespect at all, but why such drastic food choices? Why not a mostly plant based diet but with very lean proteins added, such as white meat poultry and lots of fish and high omega 3 fish like salmon (Paleolithic diet)… Less of the high fat and high cholesterol foods such as red meat, cheese, bacon, butter, etc. I feel like so many people go so far drastic either way. Another great video! Good luck and prayers to you either way, Beth!❤
Thanks so much for your nice comments. Unfortunately, the studies definitely show that the more meat you add, the more saturated, fat and cholesterol increase, and the greater the risk of heart disease. Unfortunately, moderation is not much better than going all out carnivore. They have actually been studies on the more moderate approach.
This is patently false. There are no actual experimental studies showing any of this whatsoever. Even the epidemiology, which is just garbage food survey data does not show a statistically significant correlation between cholesterol and heart disease.
Beth, can I just say, you seem so much calmer and relaxed in this video. Hope you are on the right path for your health. We all have to do what suits our own bodies best.🌸
Thanks so much for the compliment. I really appreciate that.
This was a very informative video. Yes, Dr. Baker was very gracious. Straight out of a study: " A low fat whole food plant-based diet is the only diet that has been shown to arrest and reverse artherosclerotic plaques in the heart arteries..."
I totally agree with you! Thanks for pointing that out.
There are different studies and each study is conducted differently.
And if you read the study you will see it’s so poorly done it really shows nothing at all.
Who funded the study? Always follow the money trail. We were told cholesterol was bad due to Ancel Keys lying for money. The sugar industry paid him off. It's all documented. Anthony Chaffee talks about it a lot. We all went low fat, high sugar back then.
@@PeaceIsYeshua Well, there are several studies you can read; one done in the UK, one by Dr Ornish, and Dr Esselstyn who runs the program that Beth and her husband are attending. You can find the studies with a Google search. I agree that you have to follow the money and none of these are like that.
Ive been carnivore for 2 years. I dont know how youve managed to go back to plant based. The very thought of fiber makes my stomach cramp. Its your life and do what you think is best for you; I just cant imagine going back.
Every one is different. If you had a stroke, I bet you would be upset to, and do a lot research to what is best Diet out there for you at that time. Beth is trying everything she can so she doesn't get another stroke. I am a Traditional Naturopath, and in my studies, and seminars I went to, they all stated to eat red meat once a week since it is so hard to digest. The rest of the time eat chicken and turkey, and some fish, but had to be organic, and fish wild caught. It can take up to three days for your body to digest beef. And they said never to eat pork. Pigs are dirty animals from generation to generation. Later on I read that Dr. Mercola said pork was okay as long as the pig ate vegetables only.
@@EliseAngelofHealingwe are designed to digest meats. We are not cows. We are not designed to digest plant materials and heavy fiber.
I’m glad the carnivore diet is working for you. Thanks for sharing that.
Thanks for your very knowledgeable comments Elise. You are right. If I hadn’t had a stroke, I would probably still be carnivore. Once you have a stroke, though all bets are kind of off.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty: I would be really interested to hear how your IBS symptoms are behaving on the WFPB diet. This is a topic near and dear to my heart (I mean gut!).
May I ask did you get the shot??? Thank you so much for your video!
Yes. Two years ago.
@@FiftyPlusBeautyAre you using FLCCC's (Dr. Marik and Dr. Kory) protocol for post vaccine to minimize stroke, and other, issues? If you haven't looked into please do. I know many many people who are now on that protocol and it is helping all of them. Best of luck!!!
I am older than you for years. My doctors been telling me to do the Mediterranean diet because I need to lose weight. I’ve done the high protein I have a kidney disease and even though it’s only stage three a I must watch it which means lower proteins. I’ve been really trying to look a lot, because so many people are on the carnivore diet which in my opinion is not healthy. No matter what we do there can be a video out there too. Be on our side just that this is what this video says. It’s on our side. We do need to do research. Talk to our doctors and do research. Look at the countries that lived the longest and look how they eat.
Great comments, Marie! Thanks so much!
Yes ma'am. Agree to disagree.
I mean how many times in this life has each of us thought we were right about something to find out later that we were wrong. Or even if we were right at that time, as time passed now that decision or thought wouldn't be the choice or opinion we would have today.
This life is a journey. When something happens, be it good or bad, there is always more than factor involved and a lot of factors we may not even be aware of.
YOU will find and do what works for YOU. And that's 💯 ok and right for YOU.
You were so right about that! We change our minds and behavior as we learn. Thanks for the great reminder.
Beth, I love how gracious you are 💝 such a beautiful virtue
A very beautiful virtue, indeed!! Such a shining example to all of us. I wish everyone could be as gracious as Beth. Imagine what a beautiful world it would be! 💗
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kindness.
That was a very sweet compliment. I am not that way all the time but I try to be more and more. Dr. Baker was a great example for me.
Outstanding thx for the info and reminder that we don’t always need to be fighting about who’s right ❤
You were so right! Thanks for your nice comment.
How about balance? Our ancestors never had all of these crazy diets and lived for years. I personally think stress and worrying about everything too much can be a bigger cause of health issues. Just saying ❤
I would say it's a combination of everything. Wrong diet for us as individuals as well as stress. One is supposed to support the other.
Generally we appear to be living longer these days in part because of how clean we are now. Most diseases eradicated.
Besides the fact we've obtained a near year-round resource abundance to meet almost every need compared to back then.
About every year I'm hearing of some old person come out on the news that's lived to a crazy age passed 90 or 100 and even lived through the war or something.
Thanks Beth for all the information you provide. You certainly are a good researcher. Would you do a couple of videos on what a typical day of meals looks like? Thanks
Great suggestion! I actually just shot a what I eat in a day video this morning and it will air soon. Thanks for asking!
Dear, Lady. You have such a pure heart and sweet spirit. Your character is the biggest reason I subscribed to you. I celebrate Christ Jesus in you, Beth, for it is evident that He has residence there. 😊
Thank you so much. I can tell by your very kind and loving comment that you are a Christ follower too. I’m glad we’re together in that. Thanks for sharing.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty
I agree with Eden!! Christ's love radiates in you, Beth, and it's such a beautiful thing to see! 💗💗
@@FiftyPlusBeautyAww, thank you, Beth. Yes, Ma’am, you’re right. I too love the Lord Jesus.😊😊😊
I am definitely torn about diet. I have heart issues and family history of congenital heart issues and heart attacks. I tried a plant based diet because of the heart health benefits to it. It almost killed me, literally. After 2 years on the diet, eating well, supplementing what I needed, I was having severe physical and neurological issues. Anxiety, gut issues, hearth issues, sleep problems...entire body was shutting down and doctors had no answers as to why. Ended up in the ER 7 times in 1 year. I finally went full carnivore, 100% beef and within a week 90% of my symptoms were gone. Now 6 months later I can sleep, and am almost back to my normal state. I have tried to introduce beans, greens etc here and there and each time my body completely revolts. I do not know why, before I went plant based I could eat all of those foods. Once I went only those foods its almost like I developed a sickness to them or some autoimmune, I have no idea, not a Dr and when I have mentioned to Drs they tell me its not possible. It is, I am going through it. I even developed some adversion to vitamin D...If I take it I get muscle spasms, anxiety, heart rythm issues, its quite a severe reaction. Goodluck with your diet, hopeing what happened to me does not happen to you
I’m so sorry Plantbased did not work for you. I hope you find something you are pleased with in that brings you great health.
Beautiful video I love the way you handle yourself Beth. I’m going strong on Whole Foods Plantbased loving what it is done for my breathing, my heart, weight, skin and energy levels. Wishing the best for you!
Thank you! You too!
Beautiful work, Beth! So happy you found Dr. Greger. He’s so well-informed and funny, too!
Yes! Thank you!
Happy you’re doing so well Beth 🙏🏻
Thank you! You too!
Beth your grace in sharing your medical health and personal journey is selfless. You also help us understand that healthy debate and skepticism are paramount as we navigate the triumphs and landmines associated with our aging bodies.
Hi Beth, I was wondering if any doctors had any potential concerns that some of the clots might have stemmed from your recent hip replacement surgery? I may need a similar hip surgery soon, but have read and heard about blood clots becoming more of a prevalent issue after these types of surgeries for at least an increased percentage of patients. Did anybody you talked to mentioned this as a possible factor? Thx for the channel.
Good comment. Following.
I’m sorry you are coming up on a hip replacement surgery, but it was life-saving for me. No, none of the doctors really mentioned that as a possible cause. It was quite a bit before the stroke so I don’t really think it had much to do with it, but who knows.
Thanks for the response might be worth at least doing some research on that. I'm still studying it myself. Just a quick question on the same subject. Since you're happy with your hip replacement results, which is the majority of what I hear from most folks thankfully, Would you mind sharing which type of replacement you used? Was it the titanium or ceramic material etc, & did they do the traditional approach through the backside/glute etc, or the newer direct anterior approach from the front? From everything I've seen so far I think I want the anterior approach which seems less invasive & faster recovery for most. Would love to hear any thoughts, pros or cons or what you've learned on that subject if you're ever willing to post a video or just respond In the comments. Thx again..
have you ever thought about the vaccine causing the stroke?
When we get studies head to head between strict veg vs. carnivores, I'll consider any other way of eating. So far, I feel like a kid again, and my laundry list of health issues are all gone. Even if I had a stroke, I'd attribute it to a former crummy lifestyle. We know eating fat doesn't raise LDL. So why on earth would I go back to something I was doing when some of my issues like high blood pressure began? Yep, I was a vegetarian then vegan for 6 years in my 20s on high bp medication! Good luck, though. We're all finding our own way, and I hope yours works for you.
Thank you so so much for your comments. I appreciate that.
Great video, now this is a good one to end the stroke discussion on and let’s get on with things. ❤
Yes! Thank you!
This was one of the most respectful and helpful replies from two people who disagree on TH-cam ❤
WOW, 482 comments in 10 hours! You are gifted and blessed by our Lord. Continued prayers for you and your husband in this journey of life. 💖🌟💖(I've been a healthy 56yo vegan for the last 10 years!!)
Wow! Josie, that is just wonderful! 56 years. Congratulations!
One thing I would disagree with is the frail and weak. I've been plant based for a long time and I didn't lose any strength. What I did lose is lots of inflammation. I use to play hockey four times a week and all my injuries healed, no more knee braces or ankle braces, or back pain. Check out Nimai Delgado, he's a vegan body builder and looks great. The some of the strongest animals are plant based, gorilla's, elephants ect. Also plant based is one of the only diets that heals chronic diseases . Check out Dr. Brooke goldners videos she heals chronic diseases with plant based diets.
Thanks for sharing your great results on the plant-based diet. I will check out that TH-camr for sure!
If you want to see why there is so much confusion in the information, I highly recommend Plant Chompers you tube videos , he really goes deep in the studies and shows how people come up with false and confusing info. He does it just because he wants to know the truth. It will show you your are on the right path. I think a lot of people doing the plant based diet make the mistake of eating to few calories and that is why the fail. @@FiftyPlusBeauty
Hello sweet Beth! This was an excellent video! I so much appreciate your respectful reply and your research information! You are truly a kind person! I’m 62 and have been mostly ketovore off and on but have been having so many issues lately with meat and fat aversions and just not feeling optimal! I read Dr Greger’s books and they really resonated with me. I started following his way of eating (along with “lean” meats for extra protein)! I have been so confused trying to find the healthiest diet, everyone has their input, but it’s mostly just opinions. I pray that you stay healthy and please keep us posted on how this is working for you. I am following your lead! God bless you sweet friend ❣️🙏
God bless you too. It is wonderful to see. You are really proactive about your health and looking for what works best for you.
I am so impressed with you and Dr.Baker. You both have been so gracious towards one another.
I hate it when people are vicious towards others over their diets!
You are a beautiful person, Beth.❤
Thank you so much for your very kind, supportive comments. I really appreciate that!
Ultimately you need to find the diet that works for you. There really is no "one diet fits all" diet.
Me personally the vegetarian/vegan diet was making my diabetes worse but without trying the ultra low carb approach I would never have known it could be stabilized and put into remission.
Thanks so much for sharing your health journey. I really appreciate that . .
Those tiny strokes are common in older people. My grandmother ate bread like their was no tomorrow and when she got older she started getting them strokes. She had them for 30 years before she died. I will stick with my Carnivore at 69.
Yeah, being on a carnivore diet for one year, not gonna heal up years of eating crap.
There is one awesome bio hack for us carnivores and that is to supplement taurine.
Is all individual but 99% more strokes are in plant diet or vegan. I have 2012 a stroke when I was vegan and many my long vegan friends are 80% ill. KR
Absolutely kindness, love and respect is the way to go. God bless you.
God bless you too!
Don't forget that seafood & white fish are also Carnivore. So you can still do a Ketovore type diet. I love your podcast & I love Dr Baker too. Working together to figure this out will help all of mankind. Much love 🌹🌹
Much love to you too, Sandy! Thanks for being here.
Seafood and white fish do not reverse Atherosclerotic lesions.
Beth, I’m just glad you’re doing well❤ I love watching you, you are such a sweetheart. You have to find the best path in life for you. Take care sweetheart ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! You are such a sweetheart, and I really enjoyed reading your nice comments!
Oh my goodness Beth. It's so discouraging that there are so many varying opinions even among the medical community and among various studies. The general public doesn't know what to believe anymore nor whose research is reliable. In regard to the doctor's comment re frailty wondering if you've had a dexascan to measure that.
Thanks for all the info you provide.
We really can't trust dexascans either--they unnecessarily scare so many older people into taking drugs with horrible side effects. My mid 70s mom was told she had osteoporosis, but she fell hard on her hips and is fine! Not even a fracture. She eats mostly plant-based (now going more carnivore), exercises, lifts light weights and uses a whole-body vibration machine.
You were so welcome and it is very confusing. I think the food industry makes us to be confused. That means we’ll just throw up our hands and eat what they want us to eat.
And you have arrived!!! What a treat to have someone so popular as him to discuss your video! Knowledge is power and it's always good to have opinions from people who are actually in the know, as opposed to people who just disagree, and anything other than their opinion must be a malicious lie, a conspiracy, or made up. Anyway, I remember reading a comment from someone asking about your ibs - you said it had calmed down again - i would like to know more if poss! Also, any sugar cravings or desire to just have a sandwhich for once!?
Hi Emily. Actually, I just meet MAid a what I eat in a day video that will air next Saturday and in that video I do have a very nice sandwich. I have to eat gluten-free bread due to my IBS but it seems to work pretty well. Yes, I have noticed that my IBS has kicked up on the carnivore diet but I have discovered some things that are really helping with that. Also, the reason IBS gets worse on the carnivore diet is not exactly what I thought it was. I will make a video about that soon. Thanks again. So much for your comment.
I appreciate this video and information. I was just curious if the doctors considered the cvd vax as a cause? My sister had clots and it was caused by this they think.
No, my last booster was 1 1/2 to 2 years ago and no one mentioned that possibility. I will be making a video about that soon though.
You have to consider the vaccine being the cause even if they are longer ago.
Beth, this is your journey. I would listen to your body and you will know in your heart what would be best for you.
Thank you, I will. You’re a sweetheart!
🇬🇧 re: strokes
I was told to make sure to drink a litre of water before lunch and a litre of water after lunch. I guess that's to thin the blood.
On the news the other day ,it was mentioned that, some vegetarians have higher cholesterol. Interesting. Maybe, it's to do with eating more cheese.
Excellent point. There are quite a few vegans, and vegetarians with heart disease. You can take any dietary style and eat lots of junk food unfortunately. I know. I used to be a master of that.
@FiftyPlusBeauty
You look so lovely.
And thank you for your kind reply.
Back on Carnivore again, nice to se you again Beth.
A lot of people are having strokes these days.
Yes, heart disease is our number one killer unfortunately.
Beautifully explained diet and lifestyle choice! I’m excited to see your results on WFPB. I’m trying to get back to that, (maybe with occasional fish) I fell off a couple years ago.
Good luck!!
Thank you Beth and happy you are doing well without side effects. In your research, have you found that women that have had strokes develop memory lapses? My sister is mostly vegetarian, lots of tofu etc and exercises daily. However, Ive notice that when engaging in communication she doesn't follow up on things that she requested (and really things I don't want to answer lol). Anyway, I am carnivore and she is vegetarian, and we have agreed to have our own way of taking care of our health. BTW, this is her 2nd stroke, she looks as beautiful as ever, no problems with speech or motor skills I am just concerned about mental health. Cheers and any comments are appreciated.
I don't want to think that we cann't remember our childhood and other events of our youth. They were so fun!
There is always at least 80 percent genetics at play and somehow we forget that. Healthy people get cancer and smoker ( my dad) live long lives ( he’s 92). My mom is much more frail in 80s and eats vegetarian with just fish. Go figure. We can’t control what God has decided just do are best. This is just my opinion of course. Perhaps your sister is predisposed to dementia?
@@Laura, I believe our brains need saturated fats. I feel the keto diet is protective against dementia as well because of keeping the blood sugar low. Dr. Anthony Chaffee did a discussion on dementia a couple of months back. Maybe you can get your sister to listen. :)
@@deedee, luckily, genetics play a _much_ smaller role than 80%. 😅 There's a lot we can do for sure, but I agree with you that in the end, we are in God's hands, and isn't that so wonderful to know!
Your dad grew up when food & our environment was much healthier. Your mom probably needs more animal proteins, as we need more protein when we age, and animal proteins are the easiest for our bodies to assimilate. Plant-based doctor, Joel Furhman, actually recommends eggs to older people. 💗
Possibly. Thanks
Wow, I am so sorry about your sister. You know, I don’t know about that issue for sure. I know my mother just ate the standard American diet and unfortunately she is now developing dementia. Laura is my sister’s name! Great name! It’s nice that you and your sister can agree to disagree.
This is such a wonderful, respectful video. I wish more people could discuss issues in this manner.
For anyone that wants to see it, Dr. Baker is also saying now that the Carnivore Diet is not meant for everyone and not meant for everyone long-term, and he's the one who coined the term, The Carnivore Diet. He said he uses it as a "tool" for getting people healthy and he said, "use as needed." He says it in a podcast on his channel that was about 2 months ago with a Belgian psychologist, that has "Unbreakable" in title. The Belgian psychologist is young, in a grey sweatshirt on the thumbnail. The psychologist, very fit and healthy, 34, also went from strict carnivore to adding in fruit and honey to his diet. Dr. Baker says it toward the end of the video. I think it's a great video showing that Dr. Baker is not so dogmatic in his thinking like some of the other Carnivore doctors.
Yes, Dr. Baker seems to be very open to accepting other eating plans as necessary. Thanks for pointing that out.
The diet that makes the most sense to me is based on personal genetics. What did your ancestors eat? If they were Chinese, African, Italian or Middle Eastern, for example, it was very different from the current American diet. Hawaiians and Native Americans have many health problems. When some returned to eating the same foods their ancestors did, all those problems vanished! Eskimos survived on the carnivore diet, eating fat and meat almost exclusively. Genetically their bodies could handle it.
I think with some time you'll regret moving to a plant based diet. Those of us who have been there and destroyed our health eating that way, know the truth. But sometimes you need to experience things for yourself. Meat builds muscle and strength and it heals bodies. That has been my experience and the experience of many others but will be interested to see how you go moving forward!
I started carnivore a year ago and then switched to Keto (+ green vegetables form time to time) combined with meat, pork and chicken. During this year, everything improved and I even cured my anxiety (a leftover from covid in 2022). One thing I want to emphasize here, I had a lab work done every 3 months and one of them was the Prothrombin Time (PT) which measures coagulation in the blood. Very important and I did this test (for me to confirm I'm on the right track) and so I was. Definitely, we cannot blame the carnivore for the stroke since there are a lot of other contributing factors to it, aside from what the 4 doctors told you. Maybe you had your platelets and white blood cells high all this time and those have nothing to do with the kind of food you eat. They could be genetic. Well anyway, the most important thing here is not eating refined carbs, sugar and gluten and all is good.
Thanks for your very insightful comments. You definitely are doing lots of homework. Thanks for sharing that.
Has she addressed it she was vaccinated and if so which vaccine did you get?
I got two Pfizer shots plus the booster. The booster was 1 1/2 to 2 years ago. I will be making a video about that soon.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty 🙏 to you and all that your health journey has in store for you my prayers.
Triple shot vaxxed with heart issues… Baffling. 🙄
@@Rgrrgr175 FDA just came out with a study that the COVID vaccine caused heart inflammation. My husband and daughters believed in the narrative and got vaccinated. No boosters that I know of. I am waiting on the inevitable and it's heartbreaking because I don't want to be a widow with no kids.
@@FiftyPlusBeautyThank you for your honesty. However, you’re much too trusting of the medical establishment and of the federal government. How many lies and half-truths does the federal government and the medical establishment have to tell you before you come to your senses and stop being so gullible??!
Looking beautiful Beth. Yes totally agree with your change of diet - absolutely cut the fat and meat. More fruit and veg essential. Stay health 🥰
I wish you total HEALTH too! Or, at least the best we can be in that regard.
Did you take part in the Experimental Injections?
Yes, she did. :(
My last booster was two years before the stroke and I am not finding any real evidence that the Covid vaccine actually causes strokes or blood clots. There was one small study that indicated a problem in 2019 with one specific Pfizer booster shot but that was disputed. I will be making a video about that soon.
They are called covid vaccinations, and the mRNA technology used to develop them is at least 20 years old.
@@lindalarue1722 To be called a Vaccine they must stop the virus, stop transmission and reduce death. They do none of the 3. They are experimental gene therapy imjections.
Dear Beth unfortunately there is a lot coming out about the *v* regarding blodcloths, stroke, heart attacks, cancer, auto immune diseases and so on.
Unfortunately you will find information about this is not in mainstream literature, but there are many doctors aware of this.
It can cause blodcloths after months and even years after.
The mRna makes your body produce the "spike proteïne" and there does not seem to be an "off" switch for that.
Coroners and embalmers are finding a horrendous amount of clots in corpses after the rollout.
Go watch the movie "died suddenly"
I can send you more information from highly regarded specialists in their field on what they are seeing in the vaccinated.
Beth, you are so sweet & kind and I love your attitude toward life & people. I think we all have our own diet paths and hopefully can learn about what our bodies like or don't like, what they do well with, in terms of diets, and not so great with. I am currently on the lower carb way of eating and love seeing everyone's educated perspective and experience. I was plant based for several years and didn't mind that way of eating but had to give up grains and glutens due to medical diagnosis. Anyway, wishing you peace and wellness on your food journey and I look forward to more diet related videos from you.
Thank you very much for your kind supportive comment. I am so happy you have found an eating plan that is working so well for you! I appreciate you sharing.
I just had an ER visit and health scare just a few weeks into my carnivore diet.Due to test results and labs, I also chose to go on a whole food plant based diet as well. I feel much safer and healthier . I am so happy that you are doing great and with your new diet should live a long and healthy life. Thanks for sharing that advice about excercise and protien.
I am so glad you were fortunate like me! We both got to have a health scare instead of something much worse. I am also happy your Whole Foods plant-based. Nice to have you with me!
Why one extreme to another?
You are not only beautiful inside and out but you are very wise!!!! God Bless!
God bless you too!
Beth I started doing carnivore with you and than I tried the keto diet and up my fat intake and also ate a lot more red met. After learning about your stroke I was tested by my doctor and my cholesterol went from 210 to 249 in a little over a year. I don’t smoke or drink and exercise and try to do everything healthy. The only change for me was the cholesterol increase so it is back to vegetables ,fruit and chicken. I am so thankful for you. I guess some can get away with eating lots of fat and red meat but clearly you and I are not one of them. You are so kind and I love your videos.
Your brain needs cholesterol. It’s sugar that kills you
Dr. Anthony Chaffee has great videos on the cholesterol scam--it's actually documented that we were all lied to. My high cholesterol briefly scared me away from keto too, but now I'm back and carnivore. :)
Hi Miss Andy. It sounds like we are definitely cut from the same bolt of cloth! Lol! My cholesterol also went from the low 200s up to around 240. I am so happy you are following your doctor with regard to the cholesterol. When I used to be carnivore, I just believed influencers who cherry picked certain studies and tried to tell us that high saturated fat and high cholesterol does not matter. it really does matter and you are a smart woman to figure that out. God bless you and I wish you well and your health journey.
Please look more deeply into that. I used to follow Anthony Chafee and I do not believe those studies anymore. The Framingham heart disease steady covered about 15,000 people over three generations. No one with a cholesterol below 160 and an LDL below 80 had a heart attack. Not one person.
Well said Beth. That seems to be worldwide. Thank you for your positivity on life.🤗
You are so welcome!
Hi Beth, carnivore here. You had a stroke and had to use the system that is anti carnivore. You made your decision within that system and it is totally understandable. Thank you for the video and I hope you do well in the future whatever path you choose!
Thank you so much for your nice comments.
Love this video Beth. We will have to chat. I’d love to discuss this with you more. My advice. To your viewers is health care workers need to stay in their lane.
You are so right about that sweetie! Yes, let’s talk again soon!
Hats off to Dr. Michael Gregor for all of his dedication and hard work!! He is the very best of the best at researching all of the scientific data on food and health and giving the honest facts on all of his findings.
Beth you look great!!!
Thank you so much! I love Dr. Gregor, too! He’s an amazing researcher plus obviously just a very nice person. From all three of his best selling books, he doesn’t take any profits at all. Wow!
@@FiftyPlusBeauty You are welcome. I can tell a difference in your skin since you have changed your diet. It looks great!
Yes, I love Dr. Gregor too. He is an awesome researcher and it all started with his grandmother being sent home to die at age 65. She changed to a healthy diet and lifestyle and lived another 31 years. That says a lot about him not taking any profits from any of his books!
