Dr. Hansen, I kicked my diet soda and sugar addiction in October of this year. Yes, I know it is a little late when I will be 69 years old later this month. But I am already seeing significant effects on my skins appearance, and a dramatic decline in formerly everyday events, sugar crashes. Over the last 3.6 years I have lost 50 pounds ,and dropped my blood pressure down to 111 over 85. My body is now virtually identical to the way it looked when I was between 31 and 34 years of age. I now am back to wearing real athletic fit shirts, and I look better than most guys half my age. Call me goal driven like yourself Dr. Hansen. Thank you so much for all the sage advice you have offered to all of us over the last two years, Bravo. Your Smoothies are next up!!!

Super foods are actually these: real butter, egg yolks, mackerel, salmon roe, and beef liver. (Grass fed) One can get a PhD in the study of each of these foods and how they heal the body.

I am 68 years old. Since 2012 I have been starting my day with a green smoothie. Often a 2nd super smoothie. Mostly eat organic. When I was younger I was always sick. Now I am healthier and Stronger than I have ever been.

My sugar addiction is the most difficult hurtle I will try this thank you Dr Mike ❤️🙏❤️

Thanks to your video where you compare the sugars and the affect I remove sugar and processed foods. I lost 35 lbs in 9 weeks. I have never felt better in my life. Thank you!

I really enjoy your nutrition videos! I've been making smoothies for breakfast for a few years now, and I find I do feel healthier. Some of my recipes (I bought a smoothie book when I first got started) have honey in them, but I don't like the taste, so I leave it out and use bananas and dates instead. I've gotten into adding a tablespoon of ground flaxseed to my smoothies pretty consistently. I also eat a lot of salad. By "a lot" I mean about a pound or two of raw veggies, and I like to switch it up. When I'm running low on salad stuff, I like to use a random vegetable generator on the internet to help make my grocery list. It's gotten me trying some things I normally wouldn't have thought of, like bitter melon and chayote.

I met a 97 year old woman as an interpreter, she was sharp mentally in our native language but had forgotten English. She smoked one cigarette a day and drank wine. A forty year old i know had a disabling stroke, he was a health nut. Ironman Stoff like that. Health is being slim, healthy and to have a mission in life

We definitely need more doctors on board with the - fix it with nutrition first - approach.

A week or so back I'd have been skeptical about ths but I did stumble across a video of yours the other day where you discuss cholesterol (in that high LDL is not necessarily a bad thing unless your LDL type b is high), omega 6 to omega 3 ratios, triglicerides to HDL ratios, insulin resistance, causes of blood vessel inflammation etc. That one somewhat unconventional 15 minute or so video confirmed all the research I'd done to date on metabolic health (on and off for a few years). You clearly know your stuff so I'll give this go for sure!

thank you for this reminder. will definitely try to incorporate it more into my day. i drank matcha for the first time today also ever since i have started working out, my cravings for processed food and snacks have gone down. i have never restricted myself, i feel like the craving just isnt there anymore.

Making smoothing is really a fun thing to do.. You cannn add things like broccoli, carrots, or kale. Also depending on the season you can add those seasonal fruits like honeydew, cantaloupe, kiwi, persimmon or cherries (without the pit please) I definitely recommend leaving watermelon out😅it does something weird when you blend it And if you want to thicken your smoothy freeze the bananas or some of the berries Hope these help💗💕

Great advice on the super smoothies! I use a similar strategy but instead of smoothies I eat steel cut oats with chia seeds, hemp seeds, frzn strawberries, frzn blueberries, cinnamon, ginger, and walnuts every morning. All ingredients are organic and bought in bulk so they are relatively inexpensive. They fuel my morning workouts and keep me satiated until lunch. I also employ time restricted eating with a 11/13 schedule. Eat breakfast at 7am and no more food after 6pm. I'd like to get down to a 10/14 but for now this is working well for my gut health and overall energy levels.

Thanks Doc ill start drinking it ASAP 🙏

Dr. Hansen, I have enjoyed listening to your super smoothie videos. I couldn't agree more about their health benefits and how much better the person can feel in various ways. Thought I mentioned two superfoods that you might like to research and include in your smoothies. And that is Chlorella A and Spirulina. They both have a high content of chlorophyll and vital nutrients. Also Chlorella (type A) is very good for getting rid of heavy metals in your body and cleansing ~ Enjoy ☺️ and thank you for your knowledgeable videos! 🤗

I use that 30 to 35 g of soluble fiber. And I’ve been using Monk food for about five years. and for some reason the Monk fruit winds up in the closeout stores. Thanks for letting me know that I’m on the right track✔️

hello Doctor! how are you? what brought the change? what has changed since the sudden diet change? how are is your solid food intake? how many meals a day do you take in? do you find yourself taking in more fluids than solid foods? how many times a day,week do you extract bodily waste? are you currently continuing this new method? how is your body function since? how long are you in this method of in take?

Smoothies are terrific and after hot water and freshly squeezed lemon juice on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning I'll do a banana smoothie. My body craves bananas when I eat them, maybe the potassium but the next day it's like - where's my banana?! I whip it in the blender and at night it's so satisfying. The best on a hot summer day. Yes, nuts, chia seeds, probiotic yogurt (the only thing I could take when I had Peritonitis), and honey, depending. Don't forget the frozen mixed berries, non GMO. They're terrific! Before smoothies were milkshakes but we put the fresh fruit in them with an egg and wheat germ. So, yeah. My body is totally down with the homemade smoothie❣

I've been following ur smoothie receipe ever since u uploaded it. thank you so much, my health has gotten so much better. Chia seeds are a game changer for sure. I'm gonna try this out too, thanks again Mike!!

If you do drink smoothies DO NOT overlook the very negative factor of the fruit fructose you are drinking . Make the smoothie your first meal and DO NOT add any more sweetener than needed to make it palatable. (fructose effect on insulin resistance is in another Dr Hansen video)

this guy is every mother's dream for their daughter. ❤😁😇 im a GUY and id marry 'im!

I drink 2 smoothie’s per day. It dramatically improved my health. 1) Beetroot, Cucumber, Apple, Kale 2) 10gm home made Moringa powder, 5gm homemade curry leaves powder, 5gm chia seeds, 5gm homemade Amla powder & kefir milk.

I bought some of the things in your video a couple months ago and just made my first smoothie yesterday. The cacao powder made everything taste like Nestlé Quick. Looking forward to seeing the changes.

I work with someone who has become a recent concert to NAD+ precursors. He speaks of exactly the same positive attributes that have come on strong since NMN became a regular part of his life. Who knows what could become of someone if they doubled up on the good stuff? Now, that would be a game changer indeed!

Thank you Doctor Mike; I love your smoothies and I agree with all the great and important health tips.

Wow! This energetic video really got my attention! I am a lifestyle-controlled DM11 for over six years now, so I am always on the lookout for nutritional truth. Am so glad I found your channel during the early days of the pandemic!! Wonder where my blender is....

Thank You Doctor! I’m 74 and just started drinking these super smokiest a couple weeks ago after having a bout of diarrhea after taking antibiotics. I watched videos from you and others about probiotics and one thing led to another. I’m really glad to hear this advice from a Doctor and your situation was exactly like mine, too much junk and processed food . These super smoothies changed my life. Thanks again Doctor

What is coconut ice-listed ingredient in many of the smoothies.

I just got over 6 weeks of hell from Omicron BA.5. I did the same thing. My smoothies helped me so much, and gave me an appetite for my protein and big salads for lunch and dinner. I will add more using some of your ideas. All my neurological issues and GI issues are so much better.

I eat super smoothies but they always make me hungrier- no matter what or how much fiber that I use.

I am going to try from today to the last 30 days, thanks Doc Mike

I drink a super smoothie every day for the past four years. I got Covid and it was a headache for three hours.

I eat everything you put in - it is my regular daily diet! I also add yogurt w/ blueberries and cinnamon.

Recipes is are good idea. Are they customized per climate? Colder regions may have more difficulty finding some fruits in the winter.

Smoothies are by definition processed. Smoothies don't grow on smoothie trees.

Loving your smoothies. Any chance you will create a Smoothie Book? Ebook maybe?

I use coconut cream, non sweet almond milk, sugar free vanilla syrup, 4 strawberries, whole whipping cream and chia seeds

Hi! Doctor Mike Henson.. Greetings from San Antonio, Texas. We live in dangerous times of food places and choices we have. In our neck of the woods, we find too many Mexican food & Fast food. I have cut out from eating Mexican and fast food before covid and I have lost weight but not enough as I reach my 40's with hypothyroidism. Daily I make better choices to eat. If I don't make my meals, I chose a place that make fresh food but not many choices. I love fruit and vegetables as they make feel lighter. I don't have temptation on sugar cravings, just cheese and bread. I will be trying the smoothies you create and implement them for me. I LOVE ALL your funny videos, you motivate me to do better for my self and lift me up to exercise. I struggle with daily body pain from Bursitis on my hips and shoulders. I also struggle with Fibromyalgia body pain all over. So at times I'm not encouraged to excercise. I miss my days of track and cross country when I could run and not be tired. I am going to try the Super smoothie and see on how it helps me. I may need to try the plantain banana that contain less starch or sugar. Keep us the VIDEOS as they help us ALL going and to better our lives with your inspiration. THANK YOU!!

I want to believe this because I love and totally miss smoothies. I have all the ingredients and it’s just so fun to make them and to drink them especially when it’s hot here in Texas but I’ve been on the carnivore diet and feel better than ever so now I feel conflicted.

Lol, it's like watching a highly respected doctor turn into *Ron Popeil* selling Veg-O-Matics. But seriously, freeze-dry these ingredients in mass quantities and sell them in individual packets that just need water added. I would buy them. No way I am making smoothies in the kitchen every day.

Thank you , Doctor , Mike , love this ,, You are the best ,,

And yes, I suffered from Omicron for about 6 weeks and now I feel pretty good. Not sure if digestion issues come from that. I had all the vaccines and Paxlovid so it wasn't as bad as Flu or Bronchitis. I don't eat a lot of processed foods. But it did help motivate me to get healthier and lose more weight!

You think your grocery store visits are crazy expensive now?... try living like this guy. And like every thing else in this health space, this stuff works for you... until it doesn't. They are just protocols. Like Keto, Carnivore, Paleo, Vegan, ect... Your body will adapt and the initial benefits lessen over time. Try these things for 30, 60, 90 days as a reset, then change things up.

I discovered your channel during Covid. You are smart, a good teacher, you want the best for people. I still like your content, but the picture of your videos are more and more like commercials , and I would not click on them now, if I did not already know your channel.

I eat zero fiber.

About a year ago I was working to 1gm /lb LBM of protein per day. Tried 4 meals, but late protein doesn't let me sleep, so, as part of this exercise, I migrated to a morning "eggnog" right after the gym. Ingredients: 3 raw eggs, 1g each of tumeric and cinnamon, about .1g pepper to activate tumeric, 5g creatine Monohydrate,15g flaxseed meal , 6g psyllium husk powder, 5oz yesterday's cold coffee and 30g Allmax Isoflex (27g protein). TTL Protein 47.9g, 2.7 NetC, 13g Fiber, 19.5gF, 423Kc. . TTL protein for the day comes to about 160 g. I'm 67 so I'm working the high end of the protein scale, (per Dr. Don Layman U il, and Dr. Stu Phillips, McGill U)

The question is what happens to your blood sugar. A CGM could help.

I started doing a smoothie every day a few months ago. I am actually going to go back to a full breakfast. Here is what happened: My smoothies consist of strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, peaches, banana, kale, Avocado, pineapple, raspberry, hemp hearts, chia seeds, and a 50/50 mix of pomegranate juice with coconut water for the base. For the first couple months, I felt great. I didn't get hungry again until dinner time. So I was having this massive smoothie, and one large meal a day. I lost 10+lbs of fat (I'm already a pretty lean male). Over the past month, it has been holding me over less and less every day. Now I'm starving by about 1PM, and looking for something to eat in the pantry. Plus I started getting a sharp pain in my side, which doesn't seem to show up when I have a full meal at breakfast. I am not sure what happened. Also, with inflation, the cost of these smoothies have gone up dramatically. Starting this weekend, I am going to go back to my old breakfast situation, prior to the smoothies. I did a 4 egg omlette with spinach, bell pepper, onion, and turkey bacon. It was incredibly filling. We'll see if I feel any better, again.

Q for your pulmonologist side: what things can be done to help improve VO2Max? Asking for those of us where VO2 gains are a struggle to improve, but easy to lose.

Nice, but almost impossible to get ingredients. And the few available are massively overpriced... :( ...Also, without simple means to identify ingredients and measure quantities, it's hard to 'judge' a 'dose'...

You don't need chia seeds.... ground flaxseed is so much better. And 🍓🫐🍇+++ are not (only) north american berries.

Vitameatavegamin?

It's crazy how I knew all of this information years ago. I've lost almost 40 pounds into my 170's range. People ask me how and I tell them about these smoothies that are very similar to yours. The only issue is they don't trust me all the way because I am not an MD. Crazy eh? I can read the same books you read but I'm not "licensed" lol

Hi Dr.Hansen good see you great video and helpful, Dr.Hansen always been a awesome Doctor take care pal enjoyed your video !! have a great evening peace out 👍👊

Hello Doctor Mike.. Great Video.. Thanks for all the noble work that you do to help humans.. Sharing this video with my family and friends

Superfoods really do that. Kimchi is one of my favorite examples.

Hey, have a friend who has had a liver transplant and went through a chemo therapy experiment where he was one of 2 survivors to reboot his white blood cells into thinking the donated liver was his - freeing him from taking anti-rejection drugs. So my question I’m asking on his behalf - what cleanses are good for people looking to clear themselves of the chemo drugs and past drugs in their system? (Also has a j pouch as where his small intestine meets his large - it was sewn together) What’s your take on cleanses related to post op drugs?

Cool, but have you got a smoothie for eyesight? I can't see the link.

I make smoothie for my mom by adding protien, chia seeds, moringa powder, psyllium husk , cacao powder and stevia ...

My question is it dietbaic safe.

Thank you. May you be well.

ITS NOT A COMPLETE SMOOTHIE WITHOUT AVOCADO 🥑 THANK ME LATER

Great video and nicely presented. I could tell you for 6 months it is fantastic with these type of smoothie’s. In stead of some of the ready powders one could use original (organic) ingredients, despite the longer preparation time, it will be even better.

How would smoothies effect someone on a ketogenic diet?

I usually have a smoothie for lunch. I use strawberries, blueberries, and bananas for the most part. I find the smoothie helps me sleep better at night as long as I exercise and keep stress levels low.

Hi Mike. Please describe / write the name and content of that. TY

Tremendous Dr. Mike!! 👏🏼 Thank you. 🤗🙏🏼

You're my hero.

I got most of the same benefits when I suddenly developed an allergy to beer some 20 years ago and now restrict myself to the odd glass of red wine. That and a vegetarian diet largely based on fresh produce, regular moderate exercise and at least 7 hours of sleep per night.

Would 2 super smoothies each containing 1 cup of berries per day have too much sugar?

I have been making and drinking super smoothies for ages. 💗

Can you share the recipes?? I'd love to make those. 😋

These recipes are where? The links just go to your site where we have to pay for consultations. No recipes.

Thought he was going to provide a simple recipe details but no

I'm still wwiting for the super smoothie to point out

I like your videos. Are you familiar with the "Fit for Life" diet? Around since the 1970s, Marilyn Diamond and her husband. I don't recall exactly. They wanted you to eat fruit and nothing but fruit in the morning. in the original permutation of the diet. I lost 20 lbs in a month when I first went on the diet. Anyway, mostly I wanted to tip you off to another ingredient for your super smoothies: Amla powder (from India). It's the dried and ground Indian gooseberry (and sort of supposedly cures everything, more or less). There are a couple of other plant based 'medicinal' powders you can also find in an Indian grocery store. Luckily we have a very good here in Ventura, CA.

I've got 4 lemon trees ripening now so getting lemon every day in my smoothie.

Recipes?! THANKS!!

My throat is itching right now just watching this video, there were so many foods I'm allergic to in this video. lol That's especially weird because my throat hasn't itched in years, since the pandemic started. lol I can do some of these foods, but not... strawberries blueberries cinnamon chlorella spirulina cacao powder cacao nibs sea buckthorn cinnamon (which really breaks my heart because I love it) The above are only superfoods if your body does not produce an IgE-mediated food allergy immune response. To many people, these overtax our immune system and cause MORE INFLAMMATION not the reverse. You purport this information like your experience will be the experience everyone has, which is untrue.

Crazy as it sounds, I got my energy back by transitioning from vegetarian (not vegan) to carnivore. I am on of those people for whom fiber constipates me BIG TIME.

isn't a soothe processed food well in this case SUPER processed?

Starting this tomorrow morning.

Where is the link to click on?

AMAZING!! You’re the BEST!!🤗👍

Should I add milk in Smoothies?

So blend up and drink an açaí bowl is what you’re saying

no i dont get enough of either soluble or insoluble fiber i am chronically constipated but im working on itttt

Anyone have good links to good super smoothie recipes?

I wish I eat 30gm of fiber daily! I eat a lot of fruit and few veggies, whole wheat bread, like baking acorn squash. Mushroom jerky, dehydrated pumpkin chips, crunchsters mung beans, and biena baked chickpeas are few new and tasty discoveries for me - surprisingly delicious! 😋 ( I have a terrible working schedule - 12hrs night shifts in the ED, 7on 7off and during that time I try to eat healthy snacks but it's mostly packaged foods). I miss making smoothies. I'll try to incorporate more in my diet. I need to boost my immune system now that the cold weather is coming and we'll see many sick people in the ED. Thanks for the useful advice and ideas!😍

i soak my chia seeds - forms a gel like consistancy

Maybe he should watch himself in his videos at the beginning of pandemic. He looked much healthier. More balanced food, less super food.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr. Hansen, there's not link to be found.

someone time stamp the recipe thanks

Dr. Mike Hansen; very interesting video. I have a question: After consuming lots of fiber for a long time -- my gastroenterologist has cut them out almost completely due to diverticulitis and IBD. What and which fiber should I take and which should I stay away? Thank you..

Thank you

This is a cleverly disguised commercial. Great job selling out.

planning to start doing smoothies; let's see if it helps

Turning anything healtht into a refined powder or liquid is processing. Even sugar is healthy in its raw unprocessed form. Surely much better to add these superfood ingredients to a whole fibre form such as oatmeal with oatbran and eat rather than drink as smoothie

Please write the amount of your smoothies recipe

Perfect example of establishing brand authority first. I decided you were a truth teller during the Big P. Now I trust you not to say it changed your life if it didn't. Just bought your recipes. Also. If you did all the work on asking about favorite flavors, etc Great job. Of course I couldn't stop at 1 or 2 flavors!! 😂

Would organic cashew 1/2 & 1/2 cream count? I make my own for my coffee( trying to get off dairy). Does it count as soluble or insoluble?
