Who else is eating pistachios while learning the benefits of them?

Two weeks ago my blood pressure was 212/128 and I was taking extra blood pressure medicines. I changed my diet completely and this morning my blood pressure is 108/67 and I am completely off of blood pressure medicines. I can teach anybody to do the same. Stop eating all foods that convert to sugar and increase your intake of avocados, walnuts, hemp seed, and a high polyphenol count olive oil, eat lots of fish that is high in omega 3 oils, and green leafy vegetables. Also, take a high-fiber supplement that is pure like psyllium hulls. Do not take Metamucil as it does contain psyllium hulls, however, it also contains other ingredients that are really bad for your intake. The first week you will feel bloated from the high-fiber diet, however, that will pass and the high fiber will lower your cholesterol. Another benefit you will receive is your arthritis (which is only inflammation) will go away. High blood pressure can be completely controlled by diet. I hope this helps and good luck to you.

Just to clarify, while we were taught in Med School that melatonin was produced in the pineal body, it has been recently recognized that over 90% is produced in the mitochondria in our skin in response to near-infrared light (NIR) exposure. NIR is therefore essential for our good health (which is why in the old days, hospitals had a Solarium). NIR light, unlike UV, does not require direct sun exposure, but is absorbed while in the shade and NIR light penetrates clothing, so no need to disrobe. Nowadays, we all get less NIR due to low-E glass in our cars and houses, being outdoors less, along with missing the NIR coming from incandescent bulbs since switching to LEDs. This makes eating pistachios important while sitting outside.

One interview changed my life. Bought Plant Paradox and was glad to see it actually reads like Dr. G speaks! I added Pistachios as a snack on my own so I was happy to see this in depth info on their benefits. Also, eliminated "most " sugars from diet.. Lots of Greens and shrooms! Dropped 17 lbs. in 5 weeks. Thank You Dr. G!

I find that pistachios are a good alternative to dessert after meals. It satisfies my sugar cravings. Not sure why but I know it’s better to eat pistachios than sugar.

Just got a new job delivering clothes from 12 to 17 h so l'll bring pistachios with me for my afternoon shift , 60 and healthier than ever ! Thanks to you doctor G ! Namaste !

Get them at Aldi's. Cali grown for $5.79 lb.

Wow I'll be buying Pistachios this week to eat daily. Many benefits for health and more.

I love pistachios but they trigger my bad overeating/grazing habits. They are very easy to consume and I find myself rationalizing eating "just a few more" in a single sitting.

Dr Gundry, I LOVE pistachios. Eat Tham everyday. I take them out of their shells n enjoy them. Serving is half a cup. Sometimes I eat nother half cup during the day. Ty for all the information🙏

I eat 3 to 5 lbs every week and have been since May 2022 after being diagnosed with Celiac disease and all sorts of inflammation. I love them!

I'm just glad I'm not about to hear too many bad things about it because I randomly eat too many pistachios whenever I happen to see them for purchase. I don't even know why I like them. Just started eating them one day.

I've been eating these everyday for the past couple months. I had never even heard of them before then. I'm addicted.

It's true, i ve been eating pistachios & walnuts after dinner & get sleepy soon afterwards ☺️

Hi Dr. Gundry, we eat pistachio everyday over a year now after I read your book the energy paradox plus your other practical advice. We never get tired except when we eat bread. 😂 we also a fan of your olive oil. Thank you and God bless you. 🙏🏼

I eat way too many pistachios and find myself wanting to eat them as a meal a lot of times! I just ate a bunch and then this video came up on my feed. KZfaq must be spying on me! 😂

I always preach eating pistachios. Good to know I'm not giving unintentionally bad advice

Great podcast, Dr Gundry! I like the short format rather than hearing all the long intro to some of your old things that come with the emails. If you're getting the email, you probably know all that. I just don't have an hour to spend listening to a video that could have been done in 15 minutes. You have given us a great amount of knowledge here in a reasonable time. Thank You, from one of your Lectin Free followers.

Dear Dr Gundry, Thanks for sharing this inspiring information! I would love to have your option about soaking Pistachios (for better digestion) and Dr Adamo who highlights them as harmful for Bloodgroup A. Looking forward to your feedback.

What kind of pistachios should you buy? organic? There is a specific brand in Italy. what is the difference between salty and unsalted or roasted and fresh ones? there are contraindications to pathologies

Today I watched a great many videos on your channel. I would be more likely to continue to follow you if you would tell us the quantities of something. You suggest I eat pistachios for 30 days, but nothing stuck in my mind that you would suggest an amount I should eat each day.

You know, Americans, you can make your homemade pistachio butter. Peel pistachio put them a good processor and white is on add your favorite olive oil, salt and there you have it your own pistachio butter.

As a Raw Ovo Vegan, these are SOOOO vital. Pistachios, yes. But Avacadoes, Pecans, Walnuts, Macadamia, sunflower seeds and the odd brazil nut, too. I eat 4 to 5 whole large eggs, too. For B12. I hate doing it. But it's the only garuanteed way. Other than that I'm Vegan. Large and varied amounts of dark green leafies and lettuces too.

Love pistachios so much and eat them every day. I love that they are actually good for me and not bad, like everything else I love 😆

Have to love a doctor who realizes diet, as well as exercise, will effect your health more than any medicine. Drugs are fine for temporary use, but lifestyle changes are much more useful.

Man you know what we Gundrians need… a discord server or a WhatsApp group. Where we can ask diet related questions like- Do Pistachios need to be organic or not…

0:21 he said that with so much conviction

I don't find your Pistachio cookie recipe you referred to. Loved the video and information packed in it.

Hi Dr. Gundry, speaking of oxidation, what about 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide, taken internally. I have been taking from 4 to 7 drops every morning for the past three years. Will this oxidize my body? What are the downsides of following this particle? I continue using liquid oxygen, because I have not gotten sick during this time even when in contact with Covid or other illnesses. I feel this has contributed to keeping my body protected from viruses.

When I watched this a year ago I started eating pistachios but when ai read an article about eating pistachios can lower testosterone level in the male body, i stopped consuming them. Why Dr.Gundry did not tell us about bad effects of eating pistachios on testosterone ????

Doctor , ayúdenos publicando el contenido de sus videos en español 🙏

That's good news from Dr.Gundry as i eat pistachios almost every day. I am going to get rid of all those almonds and cashew nuts due to their full of lectins content in it. I appreciate it.❤

I am going to start this today for the next 30 days. Thank you Dr Gundry!👍🏾

I've always felt that about a half glass (really, at the most) of Cabernet Sauvignon in the evening is really good for me.

I'll give credit where it's due. To be honest, I expected this video to end with an ad for something along this lines of "Gundry's Premium Himalayan Supreme Pistachios"....to have any true nutritional value they have to come from this spot, etc. But, this time, he did not try to sell me something at an insane premium. OPEC would've blushed at the pricing of his boutique olive oil, from a year or so back. I may add pistachios to the diet....as long as I'm certain I can show some restraint. Pistachios, macadamias, and cashews disappear QUICKLY in front of me, if I'm not careful.

I loved, I mean really loved the pasticcios tip. I went right to Amazon and ordered some. Thank you!

How much pistachios should we eat daily? Finish them at one time or divide into several times? Do pistachios cause allergy or autoimmune problems?

I knew that it was a reason that I liked pistachios 😊thank you Father God

Great information sir but please tell me about minimum quantity required on daily basis to fulfill the requirement I am 55 with deslipidemia recently diagnosed...

I'm watching this while snacking on pistachios, then started eating the "feather" in the shell 😂

The only pistachios I can buy where I live are peeled .I eat those every day. What can I do? My diet is very strict, and I just found out my arteries have plaque. Also, I did nott slept for about two years. I was recommended to take melatonin, but I would prefer to have something natural as I react badly to tablets, I have taken tables tor blood pressure and cholesterol for years, also Vitamin D and complex B recently I thank you for your advice, and I follow you every day Ana Pedroza from Australia

You do not know how much I started to love your videos since you cut out the length ...❤👏

Dr Gundry, thank you so much for info about lectins in tomato skins. I always peel and seed them now, and usually get roma so I can squeeze the seeds out. Thank you

I love pistachios and have eaten them most of my life. I recently saw a video by another doctor saying that pistachios can cause inflammation of the prostate. A day or two before I had a PSA test I ate a large amount of the nuts, my level was on the high normal range, after the results came back it had increased from 3.8 to 4.5 which is high, granted I ate a pound of these beauties in a couple of hours. So is this true? No telling for sure, I'm not going to eat any for weeks and retake the test. My point I guess is there is so much we simply don;t know about food and health. Dr. G says tomatoes are bad because of the lectins yet lycopene is considered good. So who's right? The debate continues across the board and will continue for some time. Remember when eggs could kill you and high carb diets were all the rage?

Well, that was interesting. I always eat pistachios and sleep much better when I do. I had no idea they had melatonin in them. I just thought it was the fatty acids they have.

My favorite pistahios, brazil, Almond nuts , dates everyday

Excellent info , thanks dr Gundry

Thanks for the great info. What is the lactin content of pistachio, Dr gundry

Pistachios and Macadamia nuts are about the only nuts I can eat but both are very expensive.

I'm addicted to pistachios. They have to be de-shelled, though. Caught a dead worm in the shelled variety. 🤢

I’m addicted to pistachio it’s my favorite nut. I eat it everyday.

Thanks to the 1970s' revolution in Iran, (which halted the import of those fushia-dyed west Asia Pistachios), California nut producers responded by growing Pistachios on a much larger scale.

Hello ! What do you think about a genetic diagnosis to personalize a healthy diet ? Is is a good idea? What are your thoughts about that kind of test . Thank you for your help

I hope you do another video to answer all of the questions put forth in these comments.

Great video thank you, still unclear on how many to eat per day - was that 75g shelled or unshelled? There's no recommendation here

Thanks for all of the information you broadcast.

Love pistachios but did not find the recipe of cookies in all your books. Could you give it ?thanks

Thanks so much! This answered ALL my questions about pistachios. : )

THE BEST VIDEO ON THE UTUBE AND YOU ARE THE BEST DOCTOR..

included pistachio now in my diet

Doc, what is the other antioxidant in mitochondria? You said there are two.

For years I would eat pistachios in the shells by the pound… I would crave them as if it was something like a nutrient in them that my body needed… then after my hysterectomy I hardly think about them at all.. very weird

I eat pistachios everyday but I don't eat too much because of the fat content. Eating 2 or 3 with fruit slows the sugar spike for me as a diabetic. But how many minimum do we need to eat a day to get the benefit?

Thank you, doctor. Very informative video.

Great advice! Somehow I first missed or oversaw or forgot this video; only now I fully understood, how important it is. Thank you very much, Dr. Gundry. 😊😅

Part of the French Paradox, at least in the past, is they do not eat huge amounts of anything plus many do not snack. They socialize and eat less food over a longer time.

Thanks for the video and information, Dr. GUNDRY

I love it to, This morning I did made a pistachio birthday cake for a good friend of me, She loved it 😋

I love pistachios. I notice that my nails are stronger when I eat alit of them

Aldi is about the only place I can find unsalted, in-shell pistachios, and for the best price, too. My dog comes over for her share whenever she hears me crack the shells.

Like other members of the family Anacardiaceae (which includes poison ivy, sumac, mango, and cashew), pistachios contain urushiol, an irritant that can cause allergic reactions.

This is good, I eat pistachios all the time.

Do I need to soak it to remove the anti-nutrient compound in pistachios?

I have ibs and they say that pistachio nuts have the same fiber as onions and that’s not good if I have ibs. If I eat onions or garlic I get bad stomach pain and nausea. But I love pistachio

I buy 3lb bags at Costco. I eat up to 2 bags (4 to 6 lbs.) of pistachios a week. Every week since I could remember. This has been going on for 40 plus years.

Great talk and very easy to follow!

Is there a benefit to soaking pistachios nuts before you eat them? I have been soaking most nuts and then dehydrating them to remove the phytic acid or so I thought. Thanks Dr. Gundry for all you have done for people! I am trying really hard to follow your way of living! Reading Gut Check now and still read some of your other book also that are in my Kindle collection.

Hey 👋 awesome video This got me thinking about atp and creatine Wondering if you could do a video on it I know that creatine helps the body produce atp

Dear dr, do you know how EXPENSIVE pistachios are??? Otherwise, yes, your diet has changed my life.

Does it matter if they are salted and toasted?

Once you open the bag up,cannot stop eating them.

ESTIMADO DR GUNDRY, POR FAVOR, MANDE SUS VÍDEOS CON SUBTÍTULOS EN ESPAÑOL, YA QUE YO VIVO EN UN PAÍS DE HABLA HISPANA. CHAUUU... GRACIELA DE ARGENTINA 🇦🇷😂

Please note that I am going to start for next 30 days. Thanks sir

Great Informative Video. Keep up the Good Work doctor Thanks a great deal☺☺☺

Hello , what Dr. Gundry says about Pistachios and Melatonin ist is True. I eat Pistachios every day with the braun skin they have and experience That i get sleeping .

Dr Gundry are pistachios heavily sprayed with chemicals? I guess my question is should we get organic pistachios?

I heard somewhere pistachios are bad, so I guess I'll try them again!

Tart cherries have melatonin too

How much pistachio should i eat ?

I like them on my cauliflower crust pizza...

There’s always a rare pistachio mixed in that tastes nasty though. Not sure if it’s rotten/moldy, but some say it means a bug died inside

He’s not lying to yall about the sleep either I recently started a water fast then after day two decided to do fruit and nuts only which I only like pistachios and I had such a deep sleep and woke up well rested

Hi Doctor, my question is about pistachio It has to be Raue, or Salted, Roasted or doesn't matter? Thanks Kind regards

How about the acrymalide in pistachio.. acrymalide have been associated with cancer development in human.. thats what make me considering no to eatin pistachio...

I would like to know what is in his glass cup on the table.

Thank you for all your videos ❤🎉🙏Blessings for you and Penny
