First time I have heard a white physician acknowledge the health disparities impacting Black Americans. I wholeheartedly believe and agree with Dr. Fuhrman. As a registered nurse and Black American, I have always strived to eat nutritiously because I don’t believe our high rates of disease are genetically linked. Thank you Dr. Fuhrman for your incredible, life saving work and speaking the truth! ❤️❤️❤️

Dillion, you're a great interviewer. Why? Because unlike a lot of interviews I see by others, you keep quiet and let the person your interviewing talk. You also don't sit there saying yea, yea, right, right the whole time which can be distracting when you're trying to take in what the guest is saying. Great interview. Thanks.

You can do both at the same time... In the Starch Solution by John McDougall the basis of the diet is eating: 1. Half a plate of non-starchy vegetables. 2. Half a plate of starchy foods from tubers like potatoes and sweet potatoes, from legumes and beans and/or from whole grains. And fruit as dessert...eating nuts infrequently. In Joel Fuhrman's nutritarian diet he recommends... 1. 2 pounds of vegetables, half cooked and half raw including greens and mushrooms. 2. 1-2 cups of beans And a variety of other foods in his GBOMBS - greens, beans, onions, mushorooms, berries, nuts and seeds Furhman's diet recommends 30%-60% of calories from vegetables (those vegetables can include sweet potatoes) 10%-40% of calories from fruit 10%-40% of calories from beans and legumes 20% or less of calories from whole grains and/or potatoes. 10%-40% of calories from seeds, nuts and/or avocados. So you could definitely follow a McDougall diet if you were following Fuhrman's nutritarian diet because McDougall classifies beans and legumes as a starch source. The only difference would be actively eating nuts and seeds as at least 10% of calories instead of eating them sporadically. To put that in context that's ensuring you eat around 7 walnuts a day on a 2,000 calorie diet. eg. half a plate of non starchy vegetables including some greens, mushrooms and raw onion 10%-30% of calories from sweet potato 20%-40% of calories from beans and legumes 20% of calories from potatoes fruit as dessert (10%-40% of calories) including some berries like blueberries or strawberries 10% of calories as nuts and seeds eg 7 whole walnuts a day.

Why not eat a nutritarian starchivore diet. Oats with flax in the morning. Sweet potatoes. Tons of beans, greens, fruit, and a handful of unsalted walnuts. No need for a division. 🙏🏼🌱

Dr Fuhrman was the MD who started me on my WFPB journey. So admire his know-how, dedication & endless enthusiasm. What a hero!

Joel Fuhrman is 65 years old here. His skin isn't saggy, the fat on his cheek bones are not falling and he looks really healthy and great! I am listening to this guy for sure!

My daughter was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma two months ago. She has had 3 rounds of chemo. Two days ago she had a PET Scan. She was initially was stage 4. The report stated that her body had a complete Response to the first three rounds of chemo. They automatically attribute the vast resolution of her inflamed lymph nodes to the chemo drugs alone. Little did they know that my daughter has been on a plant based diet since the original diagnosis. She drinks at least 6 eight ounce glasses of cold pressed green vegetable juice. She also cut out her love of garbage processed food. She has few side effects because of the anti-toxic effect of the plant based diet. This shit works!!!!

In all my years studying Nutrition, this sounds like the most perfect way for humans to eat.

I love dr fuhrman. Seriously the most logical and thorough doctor in the vegan/plant based community. I haven’t ever heard him say anything that I thought wasn’t 100% spot on. He has done his research and he works to get people healthy not just thin.

I love the starch solution, I lost weight without being hungry but i could never understand why my depression and agoraphobia were not improving , meds weren't working etc... I started to put fat back into my diet with avocados and nuts...my mood improved immediately . I do believe we need some fats and i think the starch solution is a little restrictive on fats if you are prone to mood disorders. I think the nutritarian is the best way to go, even take a bit from both diets. The starch solution is definitely simpler and easier if you're a busy person. Nutritarian diet is a little more complex but definitely the more superior when it comes to getting every nutrient in nutrient. so my take is starch solution good for weight loss but not good for people with mood disorders. Nutritarian diet has it all but more time consuming.

Dr. Fuhrman's Nutritarian lifestyle just makes the most sense, flood your body with the most anti-disease phytonutrients and avoid the processed junk! I'm applying to medical schools now and Dr. Fuhrman is one of my biggest role models for the kind of physician I want to be in the future :) Great interview!

Dr. Fuhrman's advice makes so much sense. I feel wonderful since I started eating the Nutritarian method about 12 years ago. It's too bad his advice is criticized by those tied to the dairy and meat industry. It confuses people.

I’m 79 and follow much of this diet. I feel 40 and do not have a pain or any issue in my body. You are what you eat. My vegetarian diet, is almost totally raw and I won’t eat anything that cannot be eaten, unless cooked. No meat. No fish. No trans fats and most definitely, no wheats or grains, or Pasta, etc. I feel wonderful and can outpace my son, who is nearly 50.

Thank you so much for bringing up the history and current situation of food deserts in the inner cities! I appreciate his genuine concern for the health of lower income Black Americans. I love that he didn't allow the establishment to convince him that we don't care about what we eat. He clearly sees people as people and knew better. Just subscribed

what is going on with us people,rappers and basketball players are the Heros and role models ,nothing against anyway that makes it big but how many have heard of Dr.Fuhrman's work. he should be recognized by our president for his contribution to good health.we need the entire country to listen to him.

Dr. Fuhrman is so versed in the science, it is a slam dunk to choose nutritarian over starch based. If there was any question, there isn’t now.

I am following Dr. Fuhrman. Evertime i play his speaches or his lectures i learn something new. I've played some 2 times or more and take notes. I keep learning and the notes show it! This is new and excting for me. And I'm just getting started. So thank you!

As long as we eat the whole food plant base diet we are helping the planet, animals, and our health.

Organic broccoli, beans, chili peppers, corn tortilla, garlic, green leafy vegetables, mushrooms, onions, sweet fruit, whole grain _AND_ *_POTATO_* lover here!

Wonderful content. Thank you so much for interviewing one of my favorite whole-food plant-based doctors. I read his book, Eat to Live, and lost and kept off 35 lbs. because of his guidance. I’ll be forever grateful! Love your channel, by the way!

Dr. Fuhrman always makes so much sense. I tell people I'm a wanna be nutritarian, but I'm getting there. Thanks for this interview.

Thanks, Dillon, for doing another informative interview and asking such great questions. Thanks to Dr. Fuhrman for granting the interview and sharing his incredible wealth of information.

This is the BEST interview I have seen of this AMAZING physician! THANK YOU!

Yeah, thank you Dillon for conducting such an awesome and informative interview with Dr. Joel Fuhrman...and "go head" Dr. Fuhrman for all of that great information...i've enjoyed watching your seminar on PBS --- Thank you for your passion and enthusiasm centered around healthy eating!😊

Thanks for doing it Dillon, This video is really valuable to me. I admire your attitude and clean flow of information especially in this video.

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT questions and interview. Thank you!!!

Love Dr. Joel Fuhrman interviews and will definitely be watching this soon, glad this popped up on my home screen and I’ll subscribe as well

Dillon, I am new to your channel and just started, about 3 weeks ago in earnest, a plant based diet. I didn't want to overwhelm myself with data and was interested in the Fuhrman book but got started reading the Starch Solution by MacDougall. I do a lot of of what Fuhrman says and about 3/4's of what MacDougall says. I want to thank you for sharing this, it has been a huge help! Also to chime in with another comment below, you are an excellent interviewer. Thank you so, so much for having this great channel and fascinating and fun information. I am a new subscriber and relate very well to everything you've presented so far. You are brilliant! :-)

You are a GREAT interviewer. You ask good questions and then you reallyLISTEN! Thank you.

Really needed to hear the bit around minute 15, I've been struggling with low energy and being quite "hangry" as I work towards changing my diet for the better. This has given me the motivation to continue and not backslide.

Brilliant Video! Thank you Dillon for providing such excellent interviews for us all!

Excellent interview, very enlightening. Thank you! 👏

I love how Dr. Fuhrman explains "true hunger". I was raised thinking that when my tummy rumbles is when I am hungry. Finally, I have experienced "true hunger" in my throat. I wish I had known this 40 years ago.

I tried both, and both worked for me so now I combine them with one day having a nutritarian breakfast and dinner and a high carb lunch and then the next day a high carb breakfast and dinner and a nutritarian lunch. But I don't have all three meals just one approach on the same day. It works really well for me, stacks of energy, weight down, skin tightening, hormones feeling more balanced etc.I think I'm doing it right [for me] as when it comes down to it they're BOTH right and you just have to work out how to make it work best for you as we're all individuals. There are no 'wrong answers'! The only 'common denominator' I stick to is being WFPB.

Yes, thank you for your work. My heart and my mind goes out to the world. We must do better and thank you for all you do. ❤❤❤

What a great interview, clear & easy to innerstand.

Thank you, Dr. Fuhrman, for sharing your knowledge about nutrition, and for encouraging us all towards better health!

This is a really fantastic interview. You have a great interviewing style

Great video and great info. Thank you and please thank Dr Fuhrman.

Thank you so much for this interview. I loved it!

Wow! I have read two of Dr. Fuhrman’s books and have the Eat To Live Cookbook, but I learned SO much from this interview. (I want to register and take notes.) Thank you! I have been vegetarian for over 30 years. I gave up sugar at the same time. Gradually I began to give up the foods that I noticed weren’t making me feel as good as the others such as wheat and dairy. Bottom line is I feel GREAT when I eat a lot of low starch vegetables! I mean SUPER CHARGED like Popeye and his spinach! Grains and starchy veggies tend to make me feel more sluggish and slow so I eat less of them. It took me a while to wrap my head around oil free. It was a big paradigm shift. But you know, I DO feel the difference. It’s subtle but my blood feels “cleaner.” I am still learning and I need community because I don’t have ANY friends who eat this way so I’m grateful for the inspiration and ideas your channel provides.

Thank you!! Eye opening, confirmation of some of my thoughts.

I have listened to Dr fuhrmam before on KZfaq so I'm impressed you got an interview with him.

Great interview. Thanks Dillion!

Terrific interview thanks to both of you ..

Dr F really explains things fully yet very easy to understand!

Great interview! He is amazing!

Fantastic video! Dr. Fuhruman is brilliant. You are a giant, by the way, Dillon.

What a true hero. Always helping others and bringing logical thinking to the table. Eating to live and vegan for 6 years now. This guy is actually making a difference, these are the true celebrities.

Both of you are gems. Thanks so much.

Dr. Fuhrman is a man of EXCELLENCE. That dawned on me as I watched him speak. Everything he does, the knowledge he dispenses, even how he looks and dresses...everything ... bespeaks of a person who believes in excellence and lives it. The absolute best book I’ve ever read on fasting was written by him. I have hundreds of books, several on fasting, but his is the definitive book I pick up whenever I do a water fast. I’m toying with the idea of doing the Nutritarian diet. My concern is that it may be too restrictive for me, which is why (taste-wise) i chose Dr. McDougal’s high starch, low fat lifestyle a few years ago. I only stuck with it about 4-5 months. Not sure why I quit, because I liked it. In my heart of hearts, I believe the Nutritarian diet is probably the best one for overall health.

my interest was in how food affects intelligence,depression,and creativity....this was excellent. thank you.

Great interview. I'm going to flip the script, and start with a starch. Today I made a pot of mixed rices. Love including wild rice, then I add all sorts of wonderful vegis, greens, etc... yum!

New subscriber! Dr Fuhrman's book, "Eat To Live" has changed my life. I was sort of doing mostly plant-based for 6 years but still struggling with weight loss. Though still working on it, it's much easier and I've lost the sugar cravings. Thanks for bringing us this video.

Such a great interview! Thank you 🙏

Thanks for the great interview!

thank both of you!

This guy sure knows his stuff, he's the best!!!

Hats 🎩 off!!! Amazing guy. This is what you have when your career choice is fueled by passion.

Furhman is a triumph . Wow. Love to listen to him

Thank you Dr.Fuhrman and Dillon for such an informative interview. The information is presented in a way to easily understand and very interesting.

Great video, very informative, thank you Dr Fuhrman 👍🙏😍🌲

Love Dr Fuhrman and mccdougall, changed my life.

So much yes from this video. Thanks.

It's so important what he's pointing out here about detoxification. People try to eat healthy, feel horrible at day 3 and quit, saying I tried it and I felt terrible. They would do better to know from the outset and be prepared.

Love this video so much!

Excellent!!! Thank you!

Thanks for this interview. I ❤️ Dr Fuhrman, he is the best advertisement for his program, glowing and healthy. I think he has it right, bean, greens and nuts/seeds make all the difference. I can’t lose weight eating to much starch, the beans and nuts keep me full. Another point that I’ve never seen addressed by the starch people, they talk about starch based cultures, but don’t seem to add that all of those cultures include a lot of beans along with the rice, potatoes and bread. His GBOMBS and IF are helping me get to my ideal weight and health goals.

Great interview!!!

This was great. I love his book.

Fuhrman is such a wealth of insightful information.

Great interview. I subscribed.

I discovered your channel via Eat To Live... I’ve read all of the books and I think you’re right that the two diets are more similar. People like me who are insulin resistant should put less emphasis on starches and more on beans, but they’re not off the table. They’re just limited because of their higher glycemic index

I’d love to hear Dr Fuhrmans take on how to eat nutritarian with IBS issues. Specifically on how to go about a low FODMAP diet.

Great convo

Food for thought, I think I’ll listen

Wow Fast Food Genocide has to be a must read for me as someone who was raised in an urban neighborhood with Puerto-Rican parents doing the best they could my only vegetable was ketchup and once in awhile iceburg lettuce and a can of corn..when I visited Puerto Rico I discovered the taste of fresh fruits like guava, pineapple,tamarind and lots of mangoes! I ate root vegetables like yucca, taro and plantains and Floridian avocados.. came back here but it wasn't until things got better and educated myself that things got better, I was lucky and definitely grateful

Great interview Luuuv this dr 👍

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Food IS the issue....ultimately. Finally a doctor reveals the truth.

Hi,yes I have to comment to this video again. I can't stop,I watch it over and over and over again. For example what he says about oils "that are absorbing the bloodstream very very rapidly and when foods are absorbed very rapidly basically they make crazy the body's hormones !!! I felt this many times eating oils !!! Really,really good interview ! Well your World,I would like to see pictures of you before and after,please ! Thank you.

This man is my hero

great interview

Great information.

If it werent for Dr. Fuhrman I too would not be as healthy as I am today. I have been able to maintain 10 lbs under what I thought was my desirable weight without wavering. I'm happy, energetic and hiking the trails. Thank you Dr. Fuhrman for educating your audience. Thank you "Well Your World" for having him on your show! 😊

Thx much posting sharing

Dr. Fuhrman is one of my favorites! Great video. THANKS!

Dr. Furhman is great

Fuhrman's rap, to me, makes the most sense of any of the doctors who promote a plant-based diet ... because he explains the process of digestion and is not a total fanatic about what to eat. GBOMBS makes so much sense. He said around 6:20 that eating this way can reverse many early stage cancers. I'd love to know the source of that data and how that would work.

Great interview - his book sounds very interesting. BTW - have you put on a lot of muscle- you looked massive next to Dr Fuhrman!

Well Your World,thank you so much for this interview. Really,really good job! Dr.Fuhrman answered so many questions that I had in my mind! If he is 65 he really looks awesome. What was the "actual date" you sat down with him and took this interview ? I really would like to know,please. Thank you.

Just watched this right after watching the most recent interview with Dr. Fuhrman. Whatever anybody may say about him (which is so ridiculous), he knows his stuff. I wish I had a Dr. Fuhrman in my pocket for every time I’m faced with naysayers while I eat #wfpb. I feel confident in his recommendations. Thanks for sharing both interviews, Dillon! Loving your work!!! And work on getting a) your sauces to NZ or b) finding a way to ship :)

I so agree with teachings geared toward race biased diseases. Native Americans are taught that they are genetically prone to diabetes. They didn't HAVE diabetes prior to food commodity programs on reservations. When they were living traditionally they were disease free. Thank you for this video!!

Holy shit! This video blew my mind. 👏👏👏

Thank God for Dr.s like Dr. Furman that are proclaiming the truth about the SAD diet and the true diet!!!

My Personal Doctor.....he doesn't let me slide, but we work to understand why I try to....it works....

Great talk! What does dr Fuhrman talk about blending our nuts and seeds like making cashew cream or drinking hemp milk or almond milk is that the same as eating our nuts and seeds?

I really like his approach of lower carbs, higher fat. I feel a lot more satisfied and almost no hunger. Very nutrient dense! What's not to love? And, my blood sugars stay in normal range by eating this way. 🙂🌱

We need some more gardens in economically depressed northern urban cities. Whatever condemned buildings can be torn down or gardened around if there are lots. Or the common grounds in the apartment complexes. There's lots of people, plenty of run off from hard surfaces - roofs / parking lots, plenty of protection - brick walls. Plenty of waste for composting. We could cram in a bunch. Definitely can do it in little houses with little lots - share with the neighborhood. Empower the people to take care of themselves health wise and financially then deal with education and job problems.

Great interview Dillon. Would like to hear your thoughts on what he said.

Dillon, Do you by chance have any advice for sushi. They use pickled ginger however the ingredients are salt, rice vinegar and sugar...all things to avoid. Do you by chance have another way to MacGyver it? Thank you in advance!
