MIC PLEASE BE MY BEST BUDDY I'LL FLY TO AMERICA AND WE CAN RUN AWAY TOGETHER AND EAT WILD BLUEBERRIES TOGETHER IN THE FOREST FOREVER

I've gone vegan, and as of late I've noticed my vision is getting better & my mood is improving. It probably has to do with the weight loss but, my self esteem issues are definitely going away

Holy canoli, I just ate a buttload of black beans, with onions and peppers. I AM A VEGAN GOD.

haha nailed it... Sips tea and sings "Melissa" - Robbie

“I want a Melissa infusion for the radiation!” I died!

here are a few more food hacks: - adding a source of fat (even just one walnut) to a meal seems to boost bioavailability. - sun exposure after eating greens seems to produce/repair coenzyme q10, which acts as an antioxidant (source: dr. greger's book "how not to die"). - eating fruit with or soon after a sugary meal seems to help regulate the glucose spike that would normally follow sugar intake. - breaking up a raw cruciferous vegetable (by chewing, chopping, blending or similar) will create sulforaphane, an anti-carcinogenic compound that also boosts the liver’s detoxifying enzymes. in the case of cooked cruciferous, u can create sulforaphane by adding broken-up raw cruciferous to it. ^ more info on the sulforaphane hack: (1) frozen cruciferous normally counts as cooked, as it is commercially flash-cooked before being frozen; (2) it seems that the more u break up the cruciferous, the sooner sulforaphane formation is quantitatively maximized. for example, in the case of roughly-chopped raw cruciferous, letting it sit chopped for at least 40 minutes before eating it seems to be the time required for maximum sulforaphane production. instead, adding a pinch of powdered raw cruciferous (like mustard powder or powdered mustard seeds) to ur cruciferous portion seems to instantly maximize sulforaphane formation; (3) sulforaphane is heat resistant so, once formed, the cruciferous vegetable can be cooked without any loss of sulforaphane; (4) broccoli seems to be the vegetable that can produce the most sulforaphane; (5) sources: dr. greger’s book “how not to die” and this video of his kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gpeVqKdiupjUeGw.html.

Your videos are the perfect combination of sciency, useful facts and humor. Thanks for uploading such great content!

Mic you’re spot on about the lack of iron being slightly higher in Black and Mexican women. I read a study that spoke about that too several months ago which is why I started taking my iron with OJ. My iron levels have improved greatly vs me taking it without OJ.

1. Drink green tea a couple days before flykng and before you leave the ground. 2. Vitamkn c with non heme irln add bell peppers fruit cauliflower with yiure iron high foods. 3. Turmeric with blvk pepper. 4. Eat amla the indian gooseberrie. 5. Greens for sludge blood eat youre green vegetables

lol, you missed the third thing for the youtube triad: list, hacks, and *clickbait* I'm glad you missed that third one, though. great video ^_^

OMG the SHHH that flew across the screen at 7:52 had me dying!! I almost thought I imagined it...

Haha... My name is Melissa. I am an ex bartender who thought that I had heard every Melissa joke there is. Every clever guy that wanted to flirt played "Sweet Melissa" for me untill wanted to bang my head on the bar. This was fun. Thank you. As always, love you Mic!!!

“I want a Melissa infUSION FOR THE RADIATION!”

Mic, sir. I just wanted to thank you. I'm a new vegan (it's been about 3 weeks now) and I appreciate your videos so much. I listen to them when I go out on walks. That or my nutritional science podcasts. I've been driven to this lifestyle due to many different health issues and you've really helped ease any anxieties I had about my diet change. Thankfully I was already eating a whole foods diet prior to finally dropping the animal protein so my transition was a buttery smooth one (whoops, pun kind of intended) but your videos have really expanded upon the nutritional knowledge that I had prior. I really only had half of the picture. Over the last two years, I have brought my body down from 302lbs to 186lbs and this has been one hell of a journey. I really feel well eating a whole foods vegan diet and I can't wait to see how much healthier and stronger I get as the years go on. Vegan for life, man. Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels.

Yay! Another video from Mic! This is the only channel I have notifications turned on for.

Loved this video and your quirky sense of humor. Your mom and dad must get a blast (old timey word) from watching your videos.

Because I’m dealing with too much bleeding during perimenopause, I thought that I’d mastered all of the iron hacks, but hadn’t heard about pepper & turmeric combo - Thanks!

*Watched this video while sipping on melissa*

I love these videos from you. Just tons of practical advice, backed up by science.

Love the shirt & I appreciate your scientific insights into this delicious lifestyle. 😁

This video is so useful! So excited to use some of these and make my daily life a little healthier 😊

You make my heart happy!

Excellent video! Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Thank you for this info. U rock as usual! Great tips.

Love your videos Mic! Every time I watch you I feel so much inspiration! 💖💖💖

You, my friend, are moving in the right direction. Never stop. Ever.

super duper awesome info. keep it up man.

I just usually wear a stone of jordan and amulet of viper, gives easily over 9000x for the turmeric. But for real, I always have amla powder, turmeric, nutritional and blueberries yeast in my morning oatmeal. Used with dates or dried grapes it barely tastes anything.

I've gone W.F.P.B. Vegan about 2 months ago. With in about 3 weeks my cholesterol went down about 50 points. My mood is much better and stable. Mic, I love your videos and your sense of humor

Science makes life so much better

Dr. Michael Gregor says you only need a quarter teaspoon every day of tuRmeric. I have it with my lemon water (and black pepper and apple cider vinegar).

Awesome content! 💚

I love all of your videos!!! You make my day!

You're the man! Thanks for your dedication

already doing most part of it all ) great video btw.

Hi, Mic! Your channel is one of my favorites, and I think it really helped me transition to veganism. You cover interesting material and have a fun personality. I don't know if it means anything coming from me, but good job!

I love your videos. So witty and adorable. And of course, informative!

Great information! Thanx! You forgot about the vinegar in the white rice like how traditional sushi rice is made minimizes the blood sugar spike.

7:50 That amused me WAYYYYY more than it should have. 😆

As always, an amazing and informative video!!! Greetings from Germany🇩🇪.

Thanks Mic.. really enjoyed your video...

Loved the video! I watch you every morning because you make me smile and I always learn something I didn’t know about before. Thank you

I Luv these hacks! Thanks Mic

Great video as always Mic!

Lemon balm is really easy to grow either in the garden or a large pot, it likes a fair amount of water, like most mints, and dappled sunlight. If you add a bit of ginger to the tea, it ups the protection. It's tasty in salads, good to take it a couple days before and after dental x-rays. Thx for another fun and informative vid! Good stuff! 🌱

another amazing video

I shake a little Amla powder on my oatmeal and add berries. I don't notice it that way.

I wish I had just a quarter of your food knowledge wow great Mike.

You are hilarious and I love you.

I like your excellent information because it is science based. One thing to note is potatoes have vitamin C, and I didn't know it until I was tracking my nutrients and eating lots of them. I don't eat them everyday, though, but they are good for potassium. Potassium is one thing I have to watch because I don't prefer beans and potatoes as much as my bread, oatmeal, and whole wheat pasta. They aren't bad, mind you, just I love my bread. :) After 17 months on whole food-plant based, I got another blood test and it can be seen on Imgur by searching "Blood test results on whole food-plant based diet for 16 months". Sorry it's got typos and mistakes in my narrative but all 3 pages of the report are there. I went on the diet to lower my cholesterol. Total went from 190 to 118, effectively heart attack proof. LDL went from 130 to 65. This mostly happened in the first 4 weeks but continues now. My D is low, and there is a question whether D pills actually work, and if we need sun for it, so I'll take the pills but focus on getting sun a lot more. All other figures were close enough to the normal range not to really matter. I'm so happy! Yay Dr. John Mcdougall for Starch Solution.

Hey Mic I love your videos - have you ever made one about teeth health and gum health?

Very helpful as my husband is very anemic and needs iron infusions every few months.

Its crazy how much I use to hate vegans when I was keto lol. Now I am one lol. God bless brotha #Govegan #carbup

One of your better videos, brother! Very informative and more entertaining than usual. Encore! Can... can I do that?

I love the amount information. It's really helpful to know that eating a variety of vegetables and fruit (which is all I really do to try and get my vitamins/minerals) really is working.

very informative as usual, and one other feather in-the-cap ( vegan feather of course ) is that your videos are also humorous and entertaining...

You’re awesome 😎! Thank you

Another dose of good info, cheers! Heya, that vegan wool you’re wearing?

thank u !

I'm a newer vegan and have been on a whole plant based foods diet for around 6 months. Bloodwork in april..total cholesterol 275🤯 3 months later...more bloodwork, total cholesterol is at 221😊 and this is simply by removing dairy and meat, wow....amazing!

I had a feeling I wasn't using enough turmeric and black pepper. I will increase it now. Thank you.

I liked this video mic good stuff and I never knew that turmeric and pepper thing :) learned something

Great video. Nature is the best.

Great hacks, Mic! I always cooks onions and garlic in rice or quinoa. So tasty!

Great tips! I hope you'll do an update to your video on the PURE study addressing the latest findings that dairy consumption was associated with longer life.

Another AWESOME video!! I knew most of these but learnt some new stuff like the mint tea 🍵 turmeric is the best btw!! I literally add it to everything hahaha

Great video . U amazing like always !!!

Nice, thank you! Another one: sprouted and cooked brown rice (GABA rice) is a lot healthier than regular brown rice.. and the effect is intensified if you add a tea bag to the soaking be water!

Mic, in regards to flow mediated dilation , there was a great study done by dr. Glenn Gaesser out of Arizona State. If I'm not mistaken, it proved that a specific degree of exercise was able to attenuate any negative effects on the body due to triglyceride intake for up to 36 hrs. I know this is a vegan channel, but exercise in regards to destroying the negative effects of oil, is certainly a silver in the mix. Let me know what you think.

Hey Mic! Great video, the outro was hilarious😂 Would you make a video about Dr Sebi diet and/or Anthony William (medical medium). Thanks!

Amazing! (As always). Thank you very much! I have lots of questions and would love to know your answers. Do you have any forum?

Amla is super sour. I remember growing up my mom always kept some at home and some actually enjoyed it as a snack.😂 one thing is if you drink water after eating a fresh amla the water taste sweeeet. Like really sweet.

More studies needs to be made about the vinegar and greens drastically lowering the oil negatives, nice one Mic 👍🌱✌

thanks for the nice hacks!

Thanks Mic💙😀 Heading to Whole foods to grab some Amla! Going to try it in a fruit heavy smoothy or nice cream 🌱

'Hacks... it's not about how much they work, it's about how trendy you feel while you're doing them' LOL!! Great job!

You're so funny! It is about how trendy you feel! ❤

It's interesting to me, too!

Amazing as always. Could you do a video on juices, sugar-free jams, cooked fruits and other processed fruit products?

Blasted the synergetic absorption power!!!👏

It was pretty interesting to me too!

I’ve just started liking your videos before I even watch them 😆

I love this video. It definitely inspired me to add pepper and turmeric to my morning coffee. (My doctor-prescribed iron pill already comes with Vitamin C. I take it in the evening to avoid having it near my turmeric-filled coffee and now also try to remember to take it with a fruit or vegetable high in Vitamin C.)

One on the most important videos for the people is already vegan !!! Thanks Mic

"I want a large melissa infusion for the radiation!" 😂😂🤣🤣

Your channel is so damn thicc with good information. I only just started watching a little while ago and I feel like my confidence as a vegan speaking about health, science, etc. has skyrocketed.

0:47 it's not about radiation from the sun, also not because of "less atmosphere", it's cosmic rays and less magnetosphere. People are also perfectly capable to deal with such low doses of radiation.

Good infotainment!

Hahahahaha hacticals!!! Love that! I travel all the time.... lemon balm is my new friend. Thanks for sharing :)

"With hacks it's not about how much they work, it's about how trendy you feel while you're doing them". I love you.

I tried the Alma religiously for a month (one teaspoon) and it did lower my cholesterol but not as much as I expected. I gulped it down with stevia in water because it really does not taste good. That video makes me want to try it again. My cholesterol (especially LDL) needs to go down seriously. Thanks for all the other suggestions. Always a learning experience to listen to your videos.

when you want to write "first" but you are only second :/

Good one!

Great video. I didnt know that about cauliflower, i always add bell pepper to my greens. I eat high raw so use salad/spring onion in salads with a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds to boost zinc. Amla is sooooo cheap here in the uk too, Ive become an amla powder dealer buying it for everyone i know. It doesnt taste horrid at all Mic, you just need 1/4 tsp and mix it in ANYTHING my partner doesnt notice it at all in rice or baked beans. I put it in fruit sauces or in my thini salad dressing :) :) I hope science teaches us more aweome absorbing combos

Melissa infusion!! hahahaha Ya they always correct me and call it Mint Majesty...

Black pepper , turmeric , salt and Thymes leaves plus sautéed onions and bell pepper makes a bomb ass flavor with tofu

It was interesting for me to. I took notes. :)

LOVE this! Food IS medicine, People!

Hey Mic, solid content as usual! Just wanted to mention that whenever talking about lemon balm, it might be good to just inform people of the potential effect on the thyroid. I know that you said any mint plant will do, but if someone decides to start using lemon balm tea more long term, like in the study, and they have thyroid issues, they could see problems. It can inhibit ash effects by interfering with the binding of TSH to plasma membranes. Also, anyone with graves disease may have issue, as it can exacerbate hyperthyroidism.
