My wife and I had changed to a plant based diet but when she got the cancer diagnosis her doctors didn’t know how to work with plant based. They were all sold on Keto so we switched to Keto to make it easier. Originally we switched to plant based because my blood work came back so bad and I wanted to try it. Within 6 weeks I had reversed EVERYTHING. I had crossed over to type 2, and that was no longer an issue. So, my wife passed and my diet was complete garbage after that this last year and my heart has started to give me fits. Blood pressure is out of control even being on multiple BP drugs. I’ve switched back to plant based now and we will see how quickly I can change my body once again.

I'm addicted to food, and it's a big unhealthy part of my "personality". I used to be addicted to drugs, and I think once I kicked that habit, I picked up food as my vice. I love all animals and I find my own hypocrisy to be conflicting. I weigh more than I ever have, have more health problems than when I was in active addiction, and I think it's time I give this a real go.

March 2023: 20 years vegan. 61 years old. Someone last week thought I’m 43 lol. I actually feel better now than when I was a carnivore in my 30s. Best health decision I ever made, though I originally switched to a plant-based diet to avoid animal cruelty. Excited to see what the next 20, 30, 40 years have in store 😁

Love this!! 57-year-old male, 5 years plant-based. My doctor was getting ready to prescribe meds for my high cholesterol. I begged her to give me 6 months to improve it with diet and exercise and she rolled her eyes, smiled, and said, "What could it hurt? Sure, I'll give you 6 months. I went whole food plant-based. In 6 months my LDL cholesterol went from 134 to 81. 6 months later it had dropped to 68. As far as this new way of eating taking a lot of time, in my experience, it only takes a lot of time for a few months. You're learning. Once you learn how to shop and prepare your food, it's not any more time consuming than it was before. As for cost? I no longer purchase meat, cheese, eggs, milk, butter, or ice cream. I'm pretty sure I'm spending less money eating whole food plant-based. Thank you, Rich. I love and appreciate your work!!

Going on 5 years plant based. Onset cardiovascular and type two diabetes. Took about 6 weeks to rid the diabetes and here we are 5 years later, I bike upwards of 100 miles a week, run 50 miles a week. I'm 36 and I'm the healthiest I've ever been. Thank you everyone who helped. If you ate plants and told me to eat plants, you f*cking helped me! So I thank all of you for helping me find me! Life is great! Health is wealth!

At 6 feet tall and 215 pounds (having weighed 145 lbs. In high school) I had high blood pressure, Arthritis, Asthma, hay fever, diverticulitis and felt terrible and had no energy. 6 months on the McDougall diet (vegan focused on starch). I lost 50 pounds and all my health issues are gone. God bless you both for spreading the word! I have enjoyed your videos...keep up the good work Rich!

'Animal Compassion' was my reason for becoming 100% plant-based 1/1/18. Live in rural Arkansas and watch the death trucks stuffed with chickens drive by every week. Surrounded by chicken farms so this weekly parade keeps me on track. I remember the first time I went shopping and only bought vegetables. Got home and just stared at this pile of veggies. Felt very confused. So, I started watching podcases about the superior nutrition in plants vs meat. Within 2 weeks I had no more bone pain in my knees, shoulder or lower back. No more acid reflux. Plus, my conscience was finally clear. I did not support animal cruelty in any way.

Last summer, I went to a week-long family reunion. I was the only plant-based non meat eater in the group. For me, the keys to success were planning ahead, and not making a big deal out of it. I planned my meals, and shopped when i arrived, and kept the focus on reconnecting, not differences in eating choices.

Sooooo helpful!! I recently began eating plant-based after watching Dr Esselstyn’s lecture on YouTube. Stopped my high blood pressure meds, have lost 10 lbs and watched glucose fasting levels come down under 100 every am. The cardiologists I deal with are clueless.. to hear that heart disease is the leading cause of death in this profession is sad, and then frightening. Bottom line, I learned a lot.. and will be sending this podcast out to friends and family — as their Christmas gift 💝!!
@dionnaslocum5444
Dr. Greiger is so amazing!! I wish there were men like him out in the real world.
@sparshgadkari
This video is rich roll assembling the avengers of plant based nutrition. Such a great video.
@DoctorEyeHealth
Woah thanks for this! I have been plant based for 6+ years and seeing some reminders like this keep me staying on track!
@bessmahaneypilates8638
I began a Medical Medium plant based diet 17 months ago. My health has improved so much. I’m 63 and will be vegan for the rest of my life. I have traveled also while vegan. It’s not difficult. I love fruits and veggies 🥕 🥦 🍉 🍎 🍌
@blimpsgo180
I could name a massive number of people in my life who have cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and many other health concerns, but I'm not going to do that. What I will say is I feel like such a Cassandra saying a plant-based diet can save you, and not being taken seriously. Thank you for preaching the Gospel Rich.
@JBSprig
Thanks for this, Rich! I've eaten whole-food plant-based for fifteen years, and it's always fascinating to hear from the great minds of this practice. Learning more is always fun.
@paulpavlovic7988
To short... I could listen to these doctors/scientists all day. Thank you
@EarthDivas
Just listened to first few minutes, then had to hit pause and comment. I’m vegan. Have been for a few years. My wife is keto. We make it work. And it’s very easy. Everything boils down to planning the menu. Do we fix a nice vegan meal for me, she eats same or some… but then we grill shrimp, fish, chicken or beef for her. She won’t / can’t eat rice, pasta, potatoes… so those we put in separate plate. Her diet works for her. My diet works for me. It’s very easy. We both love broccoli and Brussels sprouts… kale salad, etc. So find the things you have in common that you love. Share those. Then separate out the others. Easy breezy, lemon squeezee.

This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.

I am so inspired!! I became plant based a year ago with amazing results. But I still held on to heavy cream every morning in my tea and butter on my popcorn. I will now be giving up ALL animal products. Thanks Rich for putting together this truly helpful compilation of expert opinion. It was captivating and extremely motivating!!!
