Hospitals, doctors offices and schools should be places where good nutrition is taught and provided not places that contribute to disease and obesity. It is crazy the hospitals are feeding people the very food that caused the heart disease, high blood pressure or cancer that they are treating. Every person in the hospital should receive some nutrition education before being released. Every doctor visit should be an opportunity to educate patients about how food choices impacts their health outcomes. The fact that doctors do not get nutrition training as part of their training makes no sense. Medicare and Medicaid should require nutrition education as part of patient care. Focus should be on food choices.

Thank you. Appreciate Dr. Fuhrman’s ability to simplify good nutrition. He doesn’t mince words. …we need more tough love!

I still after 15 years follow the advice from Fuhrman and Greger. Life quality has improved a lot. Eating and drinking has got a bit more boring but definitely worth it. No medicine no doctors no hospitals so happy. Thanks guys.

Thank you Dr Fuhrman. Years ago, in 2011, I followed your Eat to Live program to help get rid of my blood pressure meds. I worked with my supporting doctor. I monitored my blood pressure and my doctor slowly weaned me off and told me when to cut down to half a pill. One day my blood pressure was 90/60 and she called me at work to stop taking the meds immediately ... which I had already because she told me what level to watch out for ... because of your program, and my supporting doctor, I am still free from taking blood pressure pills. I am far from being perfect and still need to lose weight and eat better ... I am still trying.

Since my x doctor and x dietician almost killed me Ive been following your lifestyle. 5 years 4 1/2 months. I believe my weak link now is the one stent they put in me during the heart attack. I’m now drug free. God bless you.🙏

This episod should have 20 billion views and still has not reached 100.000 ! Why ? People refuse to see their own problems and where they are heading.

The voice of sanity echoing out from the void of the medical community

It's so important for us to start taking better care of ourselves. This is life saving information.

He is the Best. Follow him for over 20 Years and his message is solid. Three weeks ago I went total vegan again and follow his advice. I added raw milk kefir and eggs, back in January 2023, thinking it would be a good idea. Had bloodwork and my LDL was slightly higher and I gained 5 lbs. I switched immediately and lost the 5lbs in the first 2 weeks, following his tips. Ditched the oil as well. I feel so good and summer here in Texas is the right time to start this back up again :))

I’m changing my eating habits because I just feel better but my grandmother who is in the other room and she is 98 , mobile , cognitive and HEALTHY! She eats bacon, chips,candy,and cookies everyday..it is truly amazing she is in great health!

I always enjoy listen to Dr Furman

Love. "I don't go to Doctors, I don't go to myself even" lol

This is more information than I ever received from my doctor. I have Hugh cholesterol and am overweight. I refuse to take medicine for the cholesterol and asked my doc for advice...was told...reduce calories. Thank you for this information!!! I now have direction.

Thank you, Dr. Fuhrman! I'm so grateful for your work and the information you work so hard to get out into the world. You really are a lifesaver!😁

I AM LIVING IT! I am his disciple! Health IS everything! High energy daily is bar none!

My favorite plant based physician! He's fantastic! Just ordered his book Eat for Life. 🙂💖🌱

You are a treasure! Thank you for knowledge!

Thank you for teaching this and gifting us the facts so we can be healthier and live longer with our faculties. This should be taught everywhere. It does make a huge difference.

We all need a regular pep talk and rev-up from Dr Fuhrman to put us back on the straight and narrow! It was interesting to hear him mention the four studies that show Keto and low carb diets lead to premature death. Thanks again Dr Fuhrman.

Dr. Fuhrman always keep it real!

SO much wisdom here ❤

70 years old! Looks so much younger.

I thought your joke was funny! I will be implementing this pattern of eating. I haven’t eaten carbs from sugars or any flours for years but I am going to stop the fats and meats as much as possible. Thank you very much. I’m saving this to rewatch often

Excellent Information! Facts! That’s why you’re The Doc. ❤

Its really a very powerfull argumentation for nutritional excellence - thank you for all the inspiration 🎶🍀🎵💚🐸

Good info Dr. Fuhrman, Thanks.

Thank you Dr Fuhrman so much!

Just Brilliant. Thank you

Dr. Furman is a legend!!! Such a wealth of information.

This information is so important. As I am 55 years old, I am definitely feeling the importance of maintaining a healthy body and mind through diet and exercise.

With great wisdom Dr. Fuhrman reveals all the secret negative facets of foods and very poetically shines the truth of the chemical responses of food on the human body! Thank YOU! BLESSINGS!

😂I laughed at your joke! Love this interview. Always so informative!

Excellent presentation!

The Q&A was a wonderful idea because it also shows how much different information we have learnt from different sources that are unhealthy.

I loved your joke and had a good laugh.

Thankyou dr Fuhrman!

Wow! I need your cookbook ❤ Dr Fuhrman

😊 thank you😊 Dr Fuhrman

To increase my fiber intake I make a mix of oatmeal oat bran and buckwheat hot cereal then I add wheat germ I take one cup for breakfast ! Everyday

Thanks

Excellent.

Thank you 💚👍 Excellent content

He has had a positive influence on my eating and health. But I do eat olive oil. But a tablespoon or less! 500 calories is over 4 tablespoonfuls! I am happy to hear about the lignans in seeds since I eat several kinds every morning. TFS

I'm only about an hour and a half from San Diego. The weather here is beautiful except we've had rain for about 2 or 3 days which is pretty rare. So we welcome it.

love love love all of this.....some really important points in this! Especially in relation to the popular "diets"...they dont' work

Good for her, not the norm. Be blessed and don't rest on HER health

Thank you Dr Fuhrman.

I want to give some hope and comfort to some of those who might be over-eaters: you can still -- I'm experiencing this -- do at least some detoxing while frequently eating practically non-stop from 3 or 4pm to, I don't know, 7pm or something. I've been whole foods, primarily plant-based for over 30 years (sometimes more pure than other times but fundamentally pure) but in the week since starting Fuhrman's "28-Day Challenge" where I shifted from lots of wholesome starches to lots of vegs -- raw and cooked -- and a handful of nuts and 1-2 cups of beans (and three pieces of fruit, minimum) every day, I think I'm experiencing a diminution of arthritis pain -- in just a week! -- but, so far, a truly remarkable thing has been how the whites of my fingernails turned dark as if I'd been gardening or futzing with India ink. It must have been some kind of cleanse; the dark came on about Day 2. One week into the Nutritarian Challenge, the whites on one hand are dramatically back to clean- and white-looking, and the other hand is about 50% cleared up. (Wow! Makes me hopeful about the arthritis!) Has anyone else experienced anything like this? (I wish I could find a local MD who was interested in studying someone eating healthfully like this!) My fingernails also got a lot stronger. Though always strong since going WFPB, three fingers had had chronic weaknesses, and those have disappeared. In just a week! This is amazing! So I hope that someday I shall be able to give up having to be chewing all the latter part of the day and my stomach pretty full before I stop, but meanwhile, very good things are happening anyway! Fuhrman's the man!

I will forever be in your debt. Thank you for saving my life! Your JAK2 patient Felecia!

Good info... thanks Dr. Fuhrman 👍

thank you Dr furman. I am a big fan of your books

He is so right, Americans eat a " cake diet"...🤯. Thank you Dr. Fuhrman , those words really hit me right upside the head, I get it 🙏.

DHA is an oil yet we need to take since we don't get from foods much

Holy crap. The light bulb just went on! I have been eating olive oil like it's going out of style. I believed it was so very healthy but I have absolutely been abusing it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the replay of this zoom, and I'm organizing to become a nutritarian. what I'd like to know is how do I clean my food if I'm eating raw? I bought the book years ago, I bought the entire package from off of PBS channel Eat to live in the immunity solution, channel 11 in Chicago. when you say raw nuts it keeps coming to me how am I to clean these nuts to make sure that it's okay to eat them raw?

I use organic unsweetened applesauce for my salad dressing. Is that ok? I follow you and Dr Brooke Goldner for my eating.

❤🎉🎉😂🎉🎉 YOU ARE THE BEST🎉🎉🎉❤

I can listen ALL day long to Dr Furhman speaking. What would be the best way to test my BMI?

Dr Furman , what do you think about using stevia leaf as a sweetener for coffee ? I've adopted all other changes into my diet but it is hard for me to drink black coffee or tea and I find I still need one cup in the morning

😂 I got the joke. Love your sense of humor 😂

You talk about the salad dressings we can make etc. Do you have a cookbook for these recipes?

Thank you for this podcast. Could you please advise which foods could maintain normal caloric intake for individuals leading active lifestyle with daily vigorous exercise routine while on low cholesterol low carbohydrates diet assumed to limit arterial plague formation, limit serum inflammatory markers, cholesterol and triglycerides. Is there practical monitoring protocol for plaque development?

I love your content Dr. Furhman, but my biggest issue is that I have IBS and have major digestive distress when consuming FODMAPS and large quantities of raw foods. The healthiest foods that I love give me great energy but I am constantly bloated. Any suggestions?

How about food steamers? Thank you 🙏

Woohoo, love you two!

Excellent 4:20

Dr Fuhrman. as much as I'm a fan of yours, I must ask, why do you don't focus on the 60 essential trace minerals , most of which are not in our foods due to soil degradation that are extremely important in maximizing health and preventing disease?

What exercise program would you recommend? Anyone on KZfaq would be recommended?

I eat a ton of raw vegetables everyday 😋

Any recommendations for a way to test where my micros are?

That was funny!

If I have lost weight being plant based but have avoided fat but for flax seed but still have weight to lose and yet have silent reflux, gut imbalance and esophageal spasms etc so I have had to cut out so much trigger food and even started fasting to help but please expound on how I can heal when I can’t eat much without reflux and spasms and shoulder blade pain. Thank you!

Does Dr.Furhman have any resources for how to come off of High Blood Pressure medications?

🔥

I eat mostly raw whole food vegetables and fruits OMAD for health and medical reasons. I’m 5’7 145 lb male. I feel underweight. I want continue this healthy lifestyle style but i want to gain some muscle not lose weight.

My hero ❤academia

Nearly everything you have said makes perfect sense but one argument remains that I have yet to receive a satisfying answer. If Dr. Esselstyn errs in saying no nuts, please elaborate with references. Some no oil, no added salt, no added sugar, whole plant food vegans have said their LDL dropped further when they quit eating nuts and they specified the nuts as not roasted, not processed walnuts and cashews. One more thing, aside from apheresis or Repatha or some burgeoning, experimental pharmaceutical, are those with elevated lp(a) nevertheless doomed to a shorter life. Also, considering the plethora of atherogenic particles, what of the plant based, Nitric Oxide promoting, "endothelial fortress" creating immunity to these particles? One last question: are there significant differences in populations regarding conversion of plant ALA to Omega 3 compared to supplements and of those supplements, purified animal source or strictly algal?

Is it ok to put a small amount of organic raisins in your salad or oatmeal bowl??

There is something to be said about living to be old and being a healthy vigorous active older person. Being able to live a quality life with more quantity, not quantity without the quality.. why wouldn’t you try eating healthy do a 30-90 day test perfectly if it does not work you have lost nothing…… go back to eating the diet you choose or try each plant based diet version if non of them work for you then you are the anomaly.. i am betting you will feel better and may have a different outlook, but i can say from experience it does not work if you dabble in both worlds…. You have to go all in unprocessed, whole foods plant based diet, plenty of cooked and raw fruits and veggies potatoes and rice.. nothing else, it works😊😘😍🥰😊

I have a question. My physical lab results stated that I have a very high count of album in my urine. I am vegan and would like to know if there is anything I can do via my diet to bring this count down.

What do you suggest for an asthmatic? I hate taking my inhaled steroids

Thanks i agree about olive oil and my husband and I quitted it but how do you explain it to Italians?

It’s so confusing because low carb proponents say that you’re undernourished if you don’t consume meat. They say that the chronic over eating stops when you eat meat. Are there higher rates of breast cancer in Italy and Greece where olive oil is used the most in the world?

I love this discussion. However, I have to address the BMI. That is such an outdated calculation those who are fit and in the gym and lifting weights cannot possibly think the BMI is accurate. Can somebody please comment? Thank you.

I’m a diabetic type 1. Not overweight and exercise 5 times a week when possible. Would u recommend this for me too. I will be asking my dr also

So now there saying Oats are being sprayed with glyphosate,anx I can't eat wheat ,dairy,almonds so what's left?

The Paul Gucci of health.. love him.

Health care costs are out of control. Going WFPB vegan can save money, pain and suffering from disease. Lower your chance of high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer by going vegan. Hospitals, doctors offices and schools should be places where good nutrition is taught and provided not places that contribute to disease and obesity. It is crazy the hospitals are feeding people the very food that caused the heart disease, high blood pressure or cancer that they are treating. Every person in the hospital should receive some nutrition education before being released. Every doctor visit should be an opportunity to educate patients about how food choices impacts their health outcomes. The fact that doctors do not get nutrition training as part of their training makes no sense. Medicare and Medicaid should require nutrition education as part of patient care. Focus should be on food choices.

For someone who knows who u are but don’t own any of your books yet which one would u recommend me to read?

Moderate use of olive oil has been found to be beneficial.The Mediterranean diet is a good example of that.

Plant based nutrition

Couldn't understand what other sprouted bread he named other than the Ezekiel bread.

Keto diet is right up there with smoking cigarettes' and using cocaine to lose weight, you had me rolling in the isle... and so true...

You are a M.D. and Dr.Dundry is a MD. Why do you have contradicting statements?

A very big thanks #drosuma for all you do I mean who could have believed I would be Badbreath free ,I must admit your herbs are marvelous “

How can we make food tasty?

Thank you interesting I am starting keto. What do you think about keto?

What about sourdough? Homemade?

I really don't understand the moderate calorie recommendation, I mean, if one eats solely of unprocessed produce, isn't it practically impossible to consume excess calories? Like do you see any animals in the wild getting fat? I don't.

I wonder what Dr. Gundry, & Dr. Hyman have to say on Dr. Furhrman's take on olive oil?
