Its never too late to change your diet. A few years back I was working at Weimar Institute in California and we had a 92 year old come into the program who was on oxygen and could not walk more than 4-5 steps without having to sit down and rest. Yet after 3 weeks on their lifestyle program with a healthy whole plants foods diet he was off oxygen, walking up and down hills without stopping. Change is possible, it just takes commitment to act upon your desires to be healthy and live with a healthy mind and body.

This father and daughter partnership really works and is so great! Jenna asks the best questions and gets her dad to explain in ways that everyone can understand! Dr. Fuhrman always has the most interesting plant based information. I'm always learning new things when listening to this amazing Doctor. Thank you and I look forward next talk.

Love this... my fav so far! This is the best, most educationally info-packed podcast I've watched so far!! Nutritarian has changed my life, health, stamina. Never thought I could rid all meds, ride mtn bike again, walk 1-3 miles again when just one year ago I lived like a 68 yr old crippled, and couldn't move without 400mg of Celebrex. No need for Celebrex, no omeprazole, no sleep aids... 70 pounds lower. Now I'm trying to research if there's a more natural, nonsurgical way to rid "calcified"? bumps on knuckles that caused fingers to be deformed? Suggestions, Dr. Fuhrman? I'm not thrilled about replacing my distal finger joints! Thank you, Dr. Fuhrman and Jenna so very much!

Education lifts us all up, thank you Dr. Fuhrman and Jenna, "More Plant Protein Makes You Live Longer" 💚🌿🌱

So glad I found this video. I am 68 yrs old and have been following the Nutritarian diet for three years now. My health improvement has been pretty miraculous. I think my fat intake is adequate but now I can see I probably could use a bit more protein as I workout pretty vigorously. I`m going to increase my seed intake (hemp, chia, sunflower) with about one once of styrian pumpkin seeds and maybe a few more tablespoons of beans and lentils. I`m so happy I discovered Dr. Fuhrman when I did. He is my number one mentor when it comes to Nutrition. I question nothing he teaches in all his books. All backed by studies!

Very generous man. Excellent presentation

I have a blast following a WFPB dietary pattern (as a 44 YO male who has been obese a couple times in life...I'm now 5'7, 118 lbs with a 28 inch jean size and nicely visible abs for the first time in my life...also great cholesterol and average blood pressure readings (both have been too high at my most obese), and a ton of energy throughout the day). Following a regular mix of whole grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, tubers and mushrooms, I land consistently in a "carb/fat/protein" ratio of aprx 60/20/20 on a total caloric intake of a little over 2,000/day (I don't count calories, but once in a while I plug data into Cronometer for entertainment), with a total protein around 90g and fiber from 70g-80g. My body responds great to this type of nourishment. To those out there skeptical, I encourage you wholeheartedly to dive in 100% for a few weeks and see if you feel notably better (if you're medicated up, inform your doctor first...some quick responses to dietary changes may require med adjustments on the fly). Final note...try not to undereat. This is a dietary pattern that seems to me to naturally shed bodyfat while leading to a high level of satiation, but only when you craft your meals with balance (i.e. no 100% kale salads for an entire meal). Good luck!

I don't eat wholly plant based, but view Fuhrman as the best of the plant based approaches and have adopted much of what he advocates.

I LOVE these talks with your daughter! She does such a great job & I enjoy the interaction between you two. This was very informative & inspiring. Thank You!! 🥰

I am a 2x kidney transplant patient and had a thyroidectomy last September. I was advised not to be vegan because I need protein and fat. So I started eating meat. Well I went back to vegan. My kidney function all the way around is better. Working on thyroid but I have l learned is to up my plant protein. I feel much better.

Thank you so much. I appreciate hearing from you. I always learn something new. 😊

So relieved to see this pop up! I asked about it on fb the other day bc I just started out and ran into some weakness.

Great episode!! Thank you so much for sharing all of this fantastic info about carbs, fats, and protein.👏👏👏 I'm looking forward to the next episode...

Just wanted to mention, I already knew Dr. Fuhrman for several years, eat as close to a nutritarian diet as possible, and heard him speak several times before, but this podcast is from another level. His daughter has a very different way of communicating essentially the same knowledge, but both father and daughter complement each other incredibly well. I'm personally a very rational thinker, so I'm already convinced by all the facts Dr. Fuhrman can provide, but his daughter makes these conversations more personal and emotional, which I think is great for also convincing a less rational crowd. We need both to get this message to as many people as possible. Father and daughter clearly bounce off each other beautifully and it's a joy to experience. Keep up this incredible work. Thank you both!

Love this format with both of you!!!!

Thank you, Doctor and Jena. This is informative.

Thank You you two. Empirical studies and your explanation are greatly appreciated. As an aging active male recovering from a traumatic brain injury, your podcasts are very helpful. The nutritional information today is like the wild west. Who do we believe? Blessings, and keep up the great work. :)

Dr. Fuhrman needs to go on Joe Rogan podcast and break down the science of IGF-1 and ketosis from heavy intake of animal protein.

Why do the food camps have to be so extreme? Would love to hear you and Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discuss protein sources. Thank you for all your efforts towards health!

This was so good!!! Much needed info for me… I kept hearing “ the fat you eat is the fat you wear” I was mostly avoiding nuts, seeds and avocado. I listed to this video twice. ❤ good stuff. Thank you! 😊

Thank God for Joel Fuhrman

I thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Fuhrman and his daughter Jenna and I can relate to Dr. Furman because I do used to be a figure skater though never in the championship arena

I love the way Dr Fuhrman explains a concept. Thank you so much for these podcasts!

happy to see thew podcast back

This is great! Learned alot. Beautiful young lady.

Thank you, Jenna and Dr. Fuhrman. You made me realize I am not getting enough protein as I keep getting pneumonia and I couldn’t understand why. 😮

It's wonderful, the relationship that he has with daughter.

Although I am not vegan, most of my calories come from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds. I do appreciate your perspective and agree with the idea that fat is not a bogeyman; I’m typically between 15 to 20% of daily calories from fat. I think the key is to get most of your calories from either unprocessed or minimally processed foods. Thanks for your efforts, keep up the good work.

I do not eat anything close to plant based - but still like listen to the other side. Side note, a relative of mine, was not planted based, smoked, drank and lived to 90. If you are thriving eating a certain way - why rock the boat to make a change for change sake.

I would LOVE to go to one of the retreats. Hoping to be able to afford one day☺

Great topic for me and eye opening! Thank you so much Dr. Fuhrman and Jenna! Any issues with the insulin resistance on plant based diet 60:20:20? How to handle the sugar spike with 60% carbs? How much protein do we need to keep the muscle or even build more muscles after 69 years old?

I have been working my way through the diffrent plant based protocals, first Mcdougall, then Barnard’s, now Brenda Davis, my macros are 12% protein, 51% carbs and 33% fat, all whole food. I’m hopeful that this will be sustainable!

great, thank you both so much- I started living on the Nutritional diet for 2 months- and feeling so good and by the way lost already 10 pounds… the pnly thing is my addiction to a sweet desert.. whst do you think about some real dark chocolate after the meal- i just love it, sometimes i mix it with a banana, some hemp seeds and soy milk-❤ just lovely.. ibtalked about to my grown up kids- and they will see my change, so everything is possible. THANK YOU🙏🏽💛🕊️

I trust Dr.Fuhrman, he is for real. He is looking great as well, not haggard for his diet includes healthy foods including fats.

Thank you! love this! what plant based zinc and dha/epa do you recommend?

Thank you for this great streamlined information, Dr. Fuhrman! I have just started following your program, after 5 1/2 years on Keto/Carnivore. Those diets were good for the first 2 years, I lost a lot of weight, but then started gaining about 1 1/2 years ago, and couldn't lose weight, no matter how little I ate. Was down to 100 lbs at one point, and am 123 now. Am 5' 3", and small boned, and would like to get back to 110. I was also feeling very unwell, and knew I needed to make a change. I was plant based before starting those diets, so it isnt too hard to go back to those habits. Three days in, now, and already feeling much better. My skin was awful on Carnivore, and is already getting better. Will stay tuned in for updates 😊

Im a homeless 62 year old veteran man in san diego. I live off of 300 dollars a month. So I can't eat well, and the food that nice people give homeless people is mostly unhealthy and processed carbs. I buy a tub of protein powder a month. I buy almonds and dry roasted peanuts. I buy sardines from dollartree. String cheese, beefjerky, cheap bologna from Walmart and peanut butter. At this moment 25th of April i ran out of protein and another homeless man made me a bread and egg sandwich. I say all this lead in, to point out the best protien is the one you can afford and eat. Not everyone has the ability to choose meat, organic or plant based protein. In my humble opinion, it's not important which you eat or how much you eat ( eat as much protien as you can), it's important that you exercise every day, to either enhance the food choices you made yesterday or to mitigate the food choices you made. Here's my experience. I sat in my car with depression for 3 years, 23 hours a day. I hurt all over and couldn't walk half a block. 9 months later, and starting with 5lb dumbbells, I can now deadlift and squat 400lbs, ride an exercise bike for 20 minutes, and do yoga for 45 minutes. I go to the gym daily, even if sick. I still hate life, but at least im healthy and depressed 😂. I eat terribly unfortunately. It is what it is. If you exercise daily, making better food choices will follow. If a human takes all that energy and effort to workout daily, then the mind won't let a person waste all that effort, and you'll start eating better. (CONSISTENCY in a little daily weight training is the secret to better health, longevity And Quality of life. Bones, mind and organs will benefit from just a little a day, regardless of what you're currently eating.) This is just my experience and my opinion. Also, I'm always complimenting couples, and family members that workout in the gym. I want to compliment you two for being a great example of family. Be blessed, choose happiness, and do some weight training daily, Leo from San Diego. Ps my cholesterol , blood pressure has gone down. ✌️ Edit 27:41 im watching the rest of the video and it sounds as if you have an agenda or bias. Bodybuilders in 2024 natural or guys who take steroids, watch their diet very carefully. Like your father, science based nutrition is their life. So to say that they eat unhealthy and don't care about " vitamin C" for example is not logical. They micro manage every aspect of their lives. Not always healthy mentally. If you truly want to understand others, watch their body of videos and watch many different natural Bodybuilders videos. Like you said in the beginning, people can cherry pick data. Also, in the study 29:00 did it say how many had preexisting conditions who died earlier from meat diets and how many didn't have preexisting conditions to diabetes and cancer and if those people died earlier due to meat consumption. I think it's good for us viewers that you give a reference to studies mentioned, in the video description so that we can look things up. But I think Dr. You look great and good on you for helping others. 😊 Be blessed 😊

I am Carol Burgess and live in Arkansas. We, my husband and I are in our late 50’s. My husband had a triple bypass and lost all his muscle and fat. He is now a skeleton and looking like he can’t hold up his own lack of weight. The doctors put him on a plant-based diet, and he is trying. The big problem is he needs fat. He does a cardio workout every other two days and uses some weights with it. I believe that is what saved him, he worked out his whole life, even the doctor said he had a strong heart. He needs to stay away from oils, processed foods. How can I get some weight on him with healthy foods? Thank you so much, I am at a loss. I have your books. Carol Burgess

To continue on my comment from earlier… I personally am very clear on what a Whole Foods plant-based lifestyle is so my recommendation as I mentioned above goes to the other 90% of those who need to make a change who have realized that they need to make a change, but don’t know how to so my recommendation was to make a clear to everybody so that they can be successful

Yes! I love tofu and beans too!

Great podcast, thank you both so so much! I understand your perspective of olive oil but have recently heard some credible (seemed to me) research on olive oil versus whole nuts used in a healthy diet and soft and hard end points were practically the same, with cancer slightly favoring the use of extra virgin olive oils. I love nuts and will continue to let it be a main fat source in my diet but I’m curious on your take of this research, I can share the info if needed but I’m sure you may be in tune with the information. Second point that I hear a lot about animal protein vs plant protein that I would love for you to touch on more please is that plant proteins are not as bioavailable to the body as animal protein. What, if any, truth do you believe is in this? Thank you!!

Would love to see a debate between him and McDougall on fats.

Jenna is her father’s daughter! Love Dr Fuhrman and his Nutritarian G-BOMBS Diet for life!

How many grams of protein do you recommend per pound of body weight?

Uh Oh. Keto zealots won't like this one. But it's all true!

I wonder what you think of Brooke Goldner's approach to curing autoimmune diseases. She just has an article out on 3 case studies (out of thousands, if she's to be believed) curing autoimmune with a high greens, low protein and high omega 3 protocol. I feel her approach is adjacent to yours. After all, fasting also probably works in part because it is very low protein.

Generally in these podcasts, many people just lump all carbohydrates together. They need to be broken broken apart and stressed. Whole Vegetables should not be lumped in with processed vegetables.

30g is the minimum protein and the body can absolutely use more than that. 30g minimum is because it will breakdown into 2.5g - 3g of leucine which stimulates muscle protein synthesis. Getting less protein than that in a meal is almost a waste

What about pescatarian Diet? i think thus is perfect pescatarian diet.

Isn't the ratio of omega type of fats just as important as the amount? What about heart patients? Would lentil sprouts be as nutrient dense as whole lentils?

beans in can ok? grains won't react to some insulin ? tho? what foods prevent cancer?

Some doctor says "carbs, the dose is the poison". Others don't say it that clear cut but imply that any fat is poison. Eat everything in moderation stands still.

Chlorella power contains B12. Two tea spoons should cover the daily need. Chlorella is a fresh water algae.

For people who have MTHFR, is protein metabolized better with plant protein? Is there a concern of eating too much/not enough protein for those who have this mutation? Specifically the homozygous.

You can still go into ketosis without being a meat eater, so yes ketosis shows short term health benefits so these studies on carnivore are very miss leading. If you practice a fasting protocol along with nutritarian diet you will have a more powerful benefit on your health. Ketosis resets the cells, cleans them out and fasting gives your digestive system a break. Problem is fasting is very difficult to do since most peoples lives revolve around eating and food.

Hello. I am 56 years old and two years ago I had two cardiac stents put in. I had been vegan for five years prior to that, but not completely clean diet. I am 5‘4“ tall and weigh 122 pounds. Since my stents I have adapted my lifestyle to the nutritarian way of life. With my stents do I still have a shot at longevity?

New study - if using plant protein, consume 47% more protein to meet requirements over animal protein for muscle protein synthesis. Google study entitled Higher Muscle Protein Synthesis Rates Following Ingestion of an Omnivorous Meal Compared with an Isocaloric and Isonitrogenous Vegan Meal in Healthy, Older Adults

I've never seen a cententarian who is on a carnivore diet. Even individuals who are in their 70s and are carnivore diet have been carnivore, at most, 2 to 3 years.

how does the insulin resistant to lower ?

I like the fact that you are not like the other vegan fanatics, you're more practical. What about C:15? Butter has the highest concentration of it. Would it be worth it to add about 5g of fermented organic butter? It would also provide some butyrate, some CLA, and good bacteria. Perhaps it could be taken in the evening with just vegetables, since saturated fats have a tendency to increase insulin resistance, meaning it might be better not take it with a high carb meal. The fat in the butter would also help absorb the carotenoids, the lycopene, etc from the vegetables.

Whats the idea food map look like if dr furnham were to design it fro scratch instead of the fda releasing one every five years??

what is nutrietarian ?

I love the fact that Dr Fuhrman is willingly admitting the vegan diet alone is not enough to keep us healthy, must doctors push the diet with an emphasis on high starch low fat. Thanks dr Fuhrman for the knowledge you share! 🙏🏼❤️

Eat Nutritarian "Plus". Do as Dr. Fuhrman says but add sardines, wild caught salmon, oysters, and one pasteur-raised egg a day. Done!

I have a specific comment about plant-based doctors and those professionals in the plant based eating world. Each professional on its own merit is very clear about what we should eat and what we shouldn’t eat, but what is not clear, concise, and extremely important is that when you wrap all the professionals together, there are mixed messages and too many schools of thought. I would like to recommend that all these professionals get together under one umbrella and say the same thing even if some agreements have to be made one way or another.. For example the Atkins diet we all know exactly what that means. The South Beach diet we all know exactly what that means. That grapefruit diet, we all know what that means. so why can’t there be a plant-based diet or give it some other name so we all know, without a doubt , exactly what that means.

I agree mostly but I do add some butter and ghee and cheese for brain and dha and cholesterol benefits, I have tree nuts allegry I tried soaking and everything it just makes me bloated and gassy immediately after eating any nuts but I see that peanuts and coconuts I feel ok also I can not digest Chickpeas, tofu and beans but I am ok on lentils... One big sign I had was when I had 3 whole wheat breads I had red rashes meaning I have gluten allergy and after getting these out I feel good. I just can not have tofu, chickpeas, beans, wheat and any tree nuts- I am allergic to these. I eat rice and plants and dairy(lactose free) and lots of fruits and fresh fruit juices

is long to term studies also FDA watched ?

Carbs are fattening though. The only carbs that don’t make me gain weight are fruits and veggies.

Do leafy greens have protein?

What about organic eggs

Any suggestions for scalp psoriasis

do you include fasting into your eating plans?

It would be fun if you shared a fun healthy meal

ken barry , ben bikman all say watch the insulin resistant .. if already hyperinsulina why people doing ok in carnivore

Furhman is full of it..

What about what they say about eating a Low carb diet is best at preventing Alzheimer’s?

I mean normally the carnivore people are moving from tons of chips and processed foods and candies and ice cream and stuff. Of course they feel better at first. But let's see your heart health after 20 years.

Not sure if I missed it, but how do I know how much protein I need?

When you’re the daughter and have your own nutrition expert on tap ….of course it’s easy.

Thank you for my oxalate poisoning ash-//

Is the fifth category of healthy foods maybe funghi?

Are those nuts and seeds you are eating raw, steamed, dry roasted and at what temperature and for how long, or oil roasted and at what temperature and for how long? That's a lot to worry about if you don't know the science or what you are doing.

help pcos insulin resistant and menopause now... need to loose weight at least 80 pounds .. how with out muscle wasting ?

oxyolates?

I would LOVE to see what a 4000cal/day "menu" looks like for an athlete!

what if insulin resistance ? muscle ? protein? i heard magnesium helped someone with there heart to regenerate....

I try to follow a whole food nutritarian diet but I never can find this answer about protein. Everyone seems to agree that you should have less protein if you have kidney disease. I have stage 3 kidney disease and I am 72 years old.

why are carnivore people doing well and showing better autoimmune issues?

I'm surprised Saladino got through medical school. He certainly isn't very open minded.

On 1400 calorie plantbased diet, how many calories should be of nuts & seeds.

24:00

For our movement to be successful or professionals need to be on target as a whole and speak with one voice then as each individual health professional speaks on their own KZfaq channel or Facebook or Instagram or podcast, can say whatever they want to say the message must be the same

Why doesn't Dr Fuhrman promote eating wholegrains, oats, brown rice, couscous, quinoa, potatoes?

Replacing your snacks with cashew nuts may make you end up in hospital ! Eating a kilo a week this women was healthy but she had kidney failure because she replace her health diet for a much better diet eating only cashews every night !

The Keto and Carnivore people act like animals on the internet for anything that is counter to their diet--even if there is a paucity of data supporting long term benefits (v. studies of detriments). Have a chat with their heart and kidneys in 5-10 years and see what those say if they are even alive or well enough to talk. I think that the "anti nutrients" refer to lectins which can be reduced by cooking methods.

What about carnivorous animals? Are they not deficient in magnesium and other nutrients because they eat the animal raw?

I’m not sure that my retirement account will support a much longer life span. That’s my main hesitation in living past 80! 😆 I love my life - but I am also looking forward to spending eternity with the Lord. A win/win as I see it!

Low or no carbs!!!!!

She's pretty.

Some promise you to eat unlimited calories and never fat up. Of course that is not an advantage unless you want to eat like a pig. The goal is to be healthy strong and energetic, not to empty plates and plates.
