Dean Ornish is a hard-working genius. He should win the Nobel Prize. His work has improved so many lives, thank you for this interview!

I was keto for 5+ years ~ loved it, lost weight, felt great. Last week had a serious cardiac event. I’ve just switched to Ornish. So wish I knew about this before, but not sure I was ready to listen.

Awesome interview, I've been a plant based yogi coming up for 3 years now after my doctor told me I had to go on blood pressure lowering tablets for life. I found Dean Ornish, read The China Study, found Dr Micheal Gregor and other plant based doctors.. I read Finding Ultra and got inspired by Rich Roll too to change my life. I I did change my lifestyle overnight so I didn't have to go on medication but didn't expect to have the weight loss and the six pack I've not seen for 20 years! I'm an ex soldier and was very fit for many years, when you leave the service you tend to take on board the same amount of calories but you do less physical exercise which results in putting on more weight than ever. It creeps up on you so slowly you just don't see it. Then you go to the doctor for a pain in the knee joint and they have you! They have their chance to deal drugs with you. Listen to what Dean, Anne and Rich are saying and you will improve your life immensely.

Fantastic information! As a hospice nurse, I have seen the damage done by the Standard American Diet. If you want a healthy life - this is where it is at!

Be kind to people. Be kind to the animals. Kindness reduces stress and increases mindfulness.

Wow, this was such a professional, high quality interview...second to none! I thought Anne and Dean were great, but also think Rich Roll is a great interviewer. Not only was he articulate and well informed, but he allows his guests to speak with minimal interruptions!

A true pioneer in plant based eating, with a true understanding of holistic health .

Wow, i'd never heard of or seen Anne before. What an amazing, intelligent, articulate, vibrant, stunning and sophisticated woman! I have followed Dean for years, and had no idea that his wife is so awesome. Good for him! :)

Blown away by this conversation. I have been Buddhist learning for several years and continued eating meat. After finally giving up the meat and becoming vegan I know that there’s a direct relationship between my mental health, spirituality and what I am putting in my body. I feel less aggression and anger and I attribute that to no longer consuming dead and decaying bodies. Everything becomes a meditation practice from preparing foods to eating them. I don’t need to be distracted anymore. I can be in the moment always because of my harmonious relationship with the world around me.

‘Fear is not a sustainable a motivator- but joy and pleasure and feel good feelings are...’ Do it today to feel so much better and experience the joy of living. Thank you RRP team and Ornish team!

I'm inspired and so grateful to have come across this podcast. Rich, Dean and Anne, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm so excited and there are many wonderful reasons why I wish to live a long, healthy, loving, happy and meaningful life. Thank you ALL.

Thank you for what you are doing Rich! This interview with the Ornish's has been so inspiring! 38 years of auto immune disease, and today, my hope is reborn.

Great interview, it's the first time I've listened to Dean Ornish speak, he is incredibly articulate, and presents information in a non-threatening and persuasive way. I'm adding him to my list of experts to recommend friends listen to regarding healthy diet and lifestyle changes. Thank-you!

He’s right, all the debates that have gone on... at this point it’s clear. Atkins died of a heart attack and hypertension, Ornish, T. Collin Campbell, Dr Esselstyn and others are still here enjoying life and doing interviews. That’s a debate that’s literally been laid to rest and that’s all I need to know... Plants are the best medicine #WFPB low-fat SOS-free.

A mostly wfpb for 5 years, and I still learned a lot from this pot cast. So well done.

Profound: "it's our nature to be healthy and happy. So what are we doing to interfere with that"❤️✨🌿

I purchased the audio book after seeing this podcast. Dean and Anne’s narrative voice is so easy to listen to. They are a gift to us all💚✅

Dean is great! He continues to evolve and be relevant. Once you are exposed to and embrace wisdom, there is no going back, and nothing to be confused about. 🙏💥

These discussions are music to the ears. I am relistening to it again and again. Ultimately the unconditional love come from you love yourself unconditionally, thanks !

I love Dr Ornish's story and how we have the peace within us but disturb that peace by chasing after what we think will make us happy. Also, I am grateful for his message about plant-based eating. My health has benefited greatly by eating a plant-based diet these past 6 years and I know that he is one of the giants who has tirelessly educated the public. I also appreciate Anne Ornish's contribution and will now look into improving that aspect of my life- meditation and community. Thank you for that terrific interview.

You can feel the calm peaceful positive energy of these beautiful souls. Notice how the anti-vegans come across aggressively and ready to fly off the handle at any moment?! Even if subtle I can see and feel the love coming from the plant based speakers :) - I had to say something as I’ve been watching other vids on the subject seeing the puffed up unhealthy meat eaters bashing the plant based lifestyle and it’s like day and night. I needed this... thank you for your hard work and for the warm feeling you send our way. Much love back 10 fold! 🦋❤️💜

Meditation is simply the act of total awareness with no judgement.

This is an amazing talk. Eating plants, meditating, exercise, and "being" love can change everything. Loved this.

Rich Roll gives the best interviews. I had no idea how fascinating Dean Ornish was until now. I'm so happy Dr Ornish's professor called him after all of those years. It just confirms what a brilliant health pioneer he is. Thank you for posting this!

A smart Q and A with Dr. Ornish and Anne Ornish. Definitely worth a listen. Strong voices for diet over drugs

Ornish is a legend

Ann's candid awareness about being in a relationship makes a lot of sense as it does when Dean talks about eating right. However what makes things near impossible is finding a mate who wants to make the effort on both issues. As Ann said at the 107 min mark *when you join forces with people who share your sense of mission whether it's a lifestyle goal or a partnership of any sort it's a thrilling experience to be able to do things that you couldn't do alone* The vast majority of women at midlife who are on the personals say they want a healthy relationship but are far removed from realizing what is actually needed in making it a reality. They assume they know enough about love unaware that there is more to it than what they know as there is to eating healthy. What Dean Ornish is to a healthy diet is what Dr. Esther Perel is to healthy relationships but far too many men and women are intellectually impoverished by both. Of the few like me who want to live a more meaningful life, how can you do it when so many people don't give a rat's ass about themselves? it's depressing.

Blown away! One of your best - giants & legendary Dr Ornish & his wife

i'm happy to hear someone who promotes plant diet emphasizes that what you eat is not enough. you need to also be spiritually in a healthy place... other plant doctors never mention that, and i believe it's crucial!

Dr. Ornish is the original reason I went vegan. Thank you! 🙏

This is PURE GOLD! Everything about this resonates with what I feel my body, mind, and spirit has been intuitively whispering to me for a year now. This kind of confirmation is priceless. Beautiful interview and some of the most articulate and valuable information here.

It's so nice to see the movement growing while it's getting backuped scientifically.

Talking about the diet wars helped me work through my insecurities even though I have converted to veganism recently because I am still battling other people which affects me and what I believe. Once in a while, I do question omega 3s and organic meats because some of my family members have not been fully willing to give up meats. Through attentiveness and education, I as well as my young child have experienced the benefits of becoming vegan and beginning this journey of a healthy lifestyle. I don't intend to look back but there are people pulling my integrity to care for my family on the left and my intelligence on my right. I am trying to build up my vegan friends to balance this war inside my house. Thanks for this support.

Great podcast Rich. I listened to it in one sitting and was just mesmerized by Dean's articulation on all the topics you guys addressed. Loved his little pop culture quotes along the way. Geez what an amazing guy. Gonna buy the book. Loved Dean and Anne's partnership and mutual respect in presenting ideas as well. Thanks for the podcast Rich!

I love this video. Very informative. Not happy with Dr. Ornish not allowing Anne to get a word in edgewise. He "masnsplained" over her a couple times (shame on him for that). Overall, very worthwhile to watch. Those who worry about getting enough protein on a plant-based diet should join Cronometer for a week. If you keep track of everything you eat, you would be shocked how quickly you get enough protein without even trying.

The three of you are beautiful and inspiring. Me 71 years young and 50 years a meditator. Food has been an experiment throughout life and I have spent several years overweight and several years in real remission. The good news is 33 years without poisoning myself with beverage alcohol and 15 years without poisoning myself with processed sugar or flour. Anyway, I am trudging my way back to vegan and after watching your podcast I have pre-ordered Undo It. Thank you. If I can be of service I am available. ✌️

Dr. Ornish is fantastic. How unfortunate that when he mentions former President Clinton he says "it doesn't matter your politics," but then slams Trump not once, but twice. Takes the class level down a bit and off topic in a completely unnecessary manner. I will continue to love and appreciate his work. Thank you Rich!

I'm a HUGE fan of Dr. Ornish. He is a pioneer of lifestyle medicine; a plant based #legend.

Thanks for a great interview! I enjoyed listening to the Ornish’s and hearing things that I know and even things I didn’t know! I took myself off my statins and blood pressure meds after becoming a vegan. My dr wouldn’t take me off, he always said if it works why stop. I was keeping track of my blood pressure and my cholesterol levels dropped! Also I just had ear surgery and when the clinic called the next day to check on me they were surprised that I was out walking the dogs already, not in pain or dizzy and that I wasn’t taking the pain medication that was Rx’d for me. I know that I did great thanks to my WFPB way of eating! I walked into the clinic knowing all would go great and was relaxed! Preordered the audiobook!

Great interview on how whole food plant based diet , exercise, happiness , meditation ( quieting body and mind) and love makes you healthy👍👍

Best part for me was his respectful suggestion of five groups of foods, and asking what decisions the patient will make. So refreshing. I'll take that approach

2:45 - 4:20 SO POWERFUL. Please make a clip for social media Rich of this!. This specific part needs to be seen by millions on IG and facebook.

I am so inspired by how beautiful their relationship is! So amazing.

Just think, Dean Ornish is a pioneer ! He was testing his theories over 40 years ago when the majority of the medical professionals thought he was a kook ! Boy ,were they all wrong ! The studies all prove that a plant - based diet is the best healthful human diet !!! Bravo Dr. Ornish .

Rich I love how you are just trying to spread this amazing knowledge and energy into the world. You aren't doing this for money or personal gain. That is very rare in this day in age.

Incredible interview with completely credible guests! I truly appreciate how straightforward and simply Dr Dean Ornish presents this info. He was on fire! And I loved hearing from Anne as well and deeply respect her knowledge and input. I am already on a WFPB vegan diet, but I am def going to get their new book. Thank you, Rich! Please have them come back again :D!

This was a great interview. I have never heard him articulate his thoughts on such a platform. What a giant in lifestyle medicine. Thank you Rich!

Thank God he didn’t kill himself. Considering what he has contributed to the world, it would have been a great loss!

Rich, I'm watching this in late May 2021 and was gratified that you try to tease out the specifics of Undo, and also, thoroughly enjoyed the much-deserved slap at Dr Oz. A bigger shill for anyone who'll add to HIS bottom line, I've never seen. Stay with it and keep inspiring us.

superb! it took me a long time to finish watching coz i need to write down the insights that catch my attention. Dr Dean said, "Awareness is always the first step to healing." this is huge and powerful. thank you Rich, Dr Dean and Anne. more blessings to your cause!

Wow,wow, Wow! I never heard his wife speak before. Excellent, truly devoted people.

Loved this episode... 3 lovely people with a beautiful truth...

This is such great information, thank you for this. I'm vegan for the the animals but junk food vegan. This has been one of the most inspirational videos I've ever watched.

6:47 “Even a single meal that’s high in fat and cholesterol can reduce blood flow to your brain, reduced blood flow to your heart...”

Dean Ornish, live-saving hero of so many!

*Legends*

Wow! This is wonderful.. thank you ALL for publishing this, it will help so many people.. you’ve covered so many important issues in one sitting! Thank you.. love you all 💛🙏

Thank you! I’ve been confused by the debate on foods and this interview and Dr Ornish is just ringing my truth bell. Thank you Rich Roll! You are a true hero!

Dean Ornish as surgeon general would be phenomenal.

Amazing Dr Ornish, so articulate and brilliant, love listening to such rare smooth speaker; he is a God-send.

Geesh, the Ornishes are deep. I always try to listen to the different WFPB doctors because they all have a slight spin on their signature diets, but I never EVER would have expected this from Dr. Ornish. Honestly, I've never thought about how I have to change my own mind while changing my body--I knew I had to overcome the voices in my gut that want cheese and find "willpower" to go that extra mile to cook dinner over ordering my favorite Chinese. However, I assumed my "change" was how people were reacting to ME and my weight loss (they became nicer to me because of my body) and that I would naturally become less depressed or hate myself less. This was on a new level. Great listen!

Life changing! Thank you Dean, Anne and Rich. Undoing it! Starting now! And as a psychotherapist, I’ll be sharing this plan for lifestyle health with many clients. This is the game changer for myself and my clients. Undoit to get unstuck. Just preordered the book!

Thank You For Loving Your Patients ❤

This just keeps getting better. I'm drawn in more with every few minutes. Science plus so much more

This is just fantastic!!! I've listened intently all the way through! Thank you for making this happen! So much incredible information ❤️

Blessed to have these passionate pioneers to show us the way to longevity and quality of life.

So motivating and empowering! Thank you for one of the best programs you’ve ever done, in my opinion!

My all-time most watched/listened to show. This was the fourth time for me. Simply powerful and nourishing info. I wish I could work with the Ornish's. Now I remember why Dr. Ornish, Dr. Esselsyin, Dr, Kahn, Dr. Gregor, and the like are not on Dr. Phil's podcast or the Dr. Oz show. Dr. Garth Davis blew up "The Doctors" show he was on. Follow the money. Like Dr. T. Colin Campbel said, "The truth is a very stubborn thing, it doesn't go away."

Once again a fantastic interview. So many good points and the simplicity of the entire concept of the plant based life style. Thank you so much for all your hard work.💜🌸💜

Dean Irish a giant in the plant based world.Great man.

another great podcast, my wish is for everyone to hear this wealth of knowledge and embrace it! thanks Rich

Access your still inner voice in run or yoga and trust that voice and inner wisdom. That leads to peace and inner connectedness. This alleviate all the suffering!

love this one! oof, hate hearing about the rabbit tests. I have bunnies and rescue them...they're just like cats and dogs! they have personalities and need companionship...we will get there one day. and end animal abuse.

Why do you want to live longer? What is your meaning and purpose? Eat better. Move more. Stress less. Love more.

Great interview. I’m a 51 yo woman. I’ve developed a lot of health problems namely fibromyalgia. No one who is gone plant-based discusses the grief over not being able to eat certain foods for me it’s dairy-based. I’m actually allergic to the caisson. so I have really bad issues when I eat it. I’ve been trying to eat mostly plant-based for the last two years. I pray the grieving goes away. It’s simple but not easy

I so wish his program was available near me. I had a heart attack at 47 and despite a positive, happy outlook on life I just can’t seem to pull it back together. Lots of things going on. Too many to write about here, but what a brilliant and hardworking couple.

I am vegan for five years and my journey was absolutely remarkable. I have LOST over 60 kg and I have total control over my mental condition. It was a transformation that I can surely share with great enthusiasm. I would have not mind to get this view on fasting within the plant base diet and the effects/ thoughts.

Great interview!!! So eye opening!! The only thing that bothered me was his question "is God confused?" No. God is not confused. :)

Undo IT is like watching eternity breaking into time. Not like breaking into a safe. More like fragmenting into time. Yet coherent. All fragments are attached so it all works together. The pillars of UNDO IT all work together. Like the old parable; for those with eyes let them see and those with ears let them hear but understanding happens in the heart.

Ann is so good too! A relationship that allow a certain level of vulnerability and you still love me even if you know all of about me type of incredible relationship that make a huge difference. It allows a sense of openness. This is priceless insight.

Key for me on a WPFB Diet was moving my life and eating towards Nutritional Excellence. Gone are my days of being less than all I can be.

Another great podcast, thanks, perfect fodder for the time of the year when people are looking to make changes in their lives (I watched this on new year’s eve!)

Yes, love Dean for tons of years! He helped me get my father in law to change his diet!! When I was 22, now 69!!!

Another great episode! I loved his backstory! Pre-ordered their book! Thank you so much, Rich!

So many pearls in this interview. Follow his recommendations to better health!

I’m 1:58 in and have not found Dr. Ornish to be rude and not let his wife speak yadda yadda yadda...I found them to bee very respectful asking each ocher” u wanna build on this”?theres a few minutes to go,but I’m not sure things r gonna change. I think everyone needs to lighten the fuck up❤️ THIS IS A BRILLIANT WORKOF ART

Great video. I love Dr. Ornish. I've been on and off this way of eating since the early 80s. Right now, I'm having a hard time staying on track and losing some weight that I've put on while straying. Yes, I know what to do, and understand the addictive nature of today's processed foods... so... getting back on track. I have to admit that I fall short on the other aspects of their talk. Most people really don't want to live longer till they get to be my age... then... It's important. I am better off than a lot of people my age, but not really where I want to be. Much to learn, still.

Dr Dean Ornish is a LEGEND.

Rich your cookbook which came to me at the right time really made an impact on me. So beautiful as well as helpful. Then finding your podcasts has been wonderful. Thanks for all you do.

love all podcast done by Rich Roll, very educational ,honest and a great inspiration...listening to like minded people whom I believe to be on the right track helps me to live my best life...THANK YOU

Rich, you have had a lot of amazing conversations. But this is by my far my favorite RRP to date. Listening a second time now.

I stopped the carnivore diet when I had a massive heart attack, four stints later and switching to a WFPB diet I’m feeling better than I have in a long time, true story.

Joan is so soothing and lovely Love hearing her speak

1:38:40 Rich: No one goes past the abstract Dean: “But I did!”

Again profound: "why do you want to live" or why are we killing ourselves by our choices?❤️✨🌿

Getting the books now! Thank you for introducing me to these wonderful people.

I want to live a long life to see how great i can become & be able to show my daughter that we can move mountain also cuz life is beautiful & theres so much to exlore & appreaciate. You guys kicks ass im ready to change .Mr Dean Ornish got my respect. We all need help at times if i can b any help to you, reach out to me ill b glad to help.

My very good friend has dementia I believe due to her insistence on maintaining an Atkins diet for seven years now. She eats massive amounts of fats and very little Vegs. I think she told me she can’t have over 30 grams of carbs a day. Sad.

Loved the interview!! Always good to find new inspiration to continue down a healthy path.

42:06 “What I gain is so much more than what I give up.”
