1:10:29 Hear, hear. It baffles me when some say things like 'what will people think?' or 'It's too awkward at outings / in social situations.' Who the hell cares? Are they living in your body? Are they paying your medical bills, as Dr Klaper says? Time to stop paying mind to petty things like what others will think. Save yourself, save the planet. Thrive and let the planet thrive. Plants, period. It's win-win-win-win-win. Thank you, Dr Klaper. You're a treasure and an inspiration. Thank you, Plant Based Nutrition Organization of Wisconsin. Look forward to following you.

Please can someone send me the link where I can register? Im very interested in these meetings.I would like to learn more

Recently my brother in law had a heart attack 😢 Please where can I find more videos or more information?so I share them to my family.

57 years old here..Carnivore is the only way to go. Wait till your older and you start getting diabetes. Use to be plant based, now I'm not!! Got rid of my diabetes, glaucoma, arthritis in my hands. 208, now 165... Never ever again. Take in those oxalates, pesticides, and ruin the top soil and all the animals killed in the process. I wonder if all of you Doctors are vaccinated??? I'm here to break it to you. Not to many people trust Doctors anymore. Maybe to fix a broken leg.

Thoughts on Chrondroitin sulphate and glucosamine pills? Does this have any adverse effects on the heart? Wondered if this could help with my shoulder/joint pain.

Grow your own greens!

The only thing that bothers me about affordable plant based diet is the direction of commercial agriculture to adopt pesticides and GM CROPS to gain higher levels of profit with less regard of public health. God help us all if the food supply is in the control of profit hungry corporations.

I'm figuring out my diet regimen so I must be doing something right bcuz tube sent me here. So far I'm on HALO FoDMAP Healthy American Local Organic And low Fodmap, an acronym for foods that ferment in the colon too quickly and can cause cancer. I just gave up avocado so a bit depressed.

Dr. Esselstyn, I love you and admire you. Thank you for sharing this huge knowledge. I am heart patient (71), after heart attack and open heart surgery, still trying to switch to plant base diet. I am doing fine and getting better by the day. Bless you.❤

Joe Crowe apparently died February 2024 at the age of 72

My gut cannot handle a plant based deit. Cannot handle any kind of fruit, whole grains, seeds or plant based milks. Cannot handle most vegetables or legumes. But it's okay with meats and eggs so I've stuck with these for my protein along with organic root foods and decided to go completely organic as I feel I have no other option.

How much protein should a 116 lb women eat in a day and how do we get that from plants?

cim chi?????

I like the video explaining how to restore the blood flow - and the new knowledge of the importance of chewing green leafy vegetables to restore the bone marrow to make the endothelial cells to make nitric oxide - the list with the top six was: kale, Swiss chard, spinach, arugula, beet greens,, beets - but a little bit later he mentioned the full list so fast that I could not understand what he said … but I heard book Choi, Swiss chard , kale, collard, mustard green,cilantro, parsley, asparagus ( green asparagus?) ….. or something like that 🙃🍀💚

I'm on a weight loss journey. I'm 60 and currently weigh 214 pounds. My highest was 268. My goal is 150. I've been eating 2 plant based protein bars and 1 meal replacement shake a day, about 600 calories. Lots of water. But I'm so bloated and have terrible gas and constipation. Can you give me suggestions.??? The bars and shake are pea and rice protein. No Cow bars, and Garden Of Life Organic plant meal replacement powder.

this was great!

Thank you so much for this great presentation on the myths of nutrition and cancer! I am myself a 10 year thriver it has been quite a journey to find what could be the best nutrition to support my health, my whole health, praying for never meeting again with cancer…. Love you, Talk thank you so much!

Great presentation thank you so much for this one!

What a lovely presentation from everybody!!! And probably one of the most beautiful and complete presentation from Dr Esselstijn!! Warm regards from the Netherlands to you all we are on it and we love it !

Conclusion after 1h30m... Western diet is bad for you

I was 53 and swam 20 lengths of an Olympic sized pool five days per week. I was fit. Then I developed Angina. I've managed the angina for 31 years by diet. I have no trust in pharmacy meds. So for two years, I hardly moved. Just crossing a street a little fast and my chest pain returned. I first found Hawthorn Herb, and that worked. Then I found Olive Leaf extract capsules and I spent $800 on them until I discovered how to dry the olive-leaves from a tree. 17 Years later I then went into intensive care with a Stroke. My Stroke was from eating 4-avocado daily. NO OIL is now part of my new healthy vegan diet. I'm fit, healthy, and in a few weeks it is my 80th Birthday.

I pressure-cook beetroot and keep a bowl in my fridge and eat some each day. I get pink cheeks. So without a pale-face I wear only a touch of foundation makeup.

I add a handful of greens to my beans as greens are the fastest at making my stomach feel full.

Thank you

One of your best presentations ever. I enjoyed the many before and after angiograms and case studies. I skipped to min 26 to get right to Dr Esselstyn.

LMAOROF... Not my experience!!... Have fun!... 73 year old carnivore thriving!!!

I dont trust hemp seeds at all.

I read dr esselstyn's book 10 years ago. I had hbp but a heart cath showed clean arteries. Actually i had eaten the esselstyn diet pretty much for years but i consumed yogurt and milk kefir and nuts. After reading his book... I dropped dairy...ate more oats...but continued a handful of nuts and seeds for my " healthy" fats. After all dr esselstyn said that the reason he didn't let his patients eat nuts was because they would eat them all day. I knew i would not do that...and i didn't. I ate my handful once a day only. For 40 years i had not eaten animal products except for very occassionally fish. I had never eaten oil or salt. I had always eaten huge salads with vinegar with homemade wholegrain bread.... and i continued. I had not eaten any sweets since my 30s i never ate sugar. My tc was 148 never higher. My ldl was 70. After 10 years on that handful of nuts and occasional avocado i have developed cad...i have also developed systemic atherosclerosis... and calcified aorta...which drove up systolic bp even more.. i have had to double my bp meds. I developed afib and have to take an anticoagulant ( fuhrman says nuts protect against afib...but boy was that dude wrong). For the last 2 years...with strict esselstyn diet...no nuts or seeds or avocados or soy...i have regressed a tiny bit of valve disfunction...my tc is 115...but my ldl is 80 or 70. Now i will add a statin to the esselstyn diet. My advice...don't eat nuts and seeds...be wary of avocado...dont eat soy bec of its fat...get ldl to 50 no matter what you have to do.

😃🍏🍏🍏

Thank you for this amazing interview from the legend himself.

I have been wfpb no oil no sugar no salt for 9 years. I did eat nuts and seeds and some avocado and soy. My hbp has progressed during that time to the point that i have doubled bp meds to control it.. arterial plaque and systemic plaque has grown and aortic arch has calcified. My tc was 148 or lower during that time and ldl has been a steady 70...yet plaque increased to the point that i now have systemic atherosclerosis. Stripping all fat...no seeds soy or avocado gave me better blood flow and now i will take a statin to lower ldl. I have realized that there are no healthy fats. They all slowly add plaque to the endothelium. Nathan Pritikin had it figured out. I should have listened. All my overt fats now come from oats. You cant tell whether or not this is happening to you by how you feel.

What do you mean by cold cap

I am surprised this video was suggested to me. He must be a 7th Day Adventist.

I would love a talk on the ins and outs of statins. Specifically: no measurable heart disease, high LDL (3 mmol/ml), low HDL, low triglycerides, WFPB lifestyle. Should I wait for symptoms before taking statins?

I want to see a randomized control trial of an organic Whole Foods plant-based diet versus an organic Whole Foods animal based diet(carnivore/ketovore/Saladino). The recent 'twin study' and documentary was designed to produce a pro vegan result and they conveniently forgot to do the dexa scans looking at muscle mass, etc and then said 'oh it was too expensive to do that' when they had the funding of millions of dollars from Impossible Foods( study funding is another red flag)

Bullshit! The proper human diet is meat and associated fat, the plant based diet is detrimental to health.

Why do all vegans need to take supplements and look sickly with pale looking skin? You are what you eat, right? You may be able to survive on a plant based diet, but it doesn't seem like people really thrive eating just plants. I know when I limit my diet to just plants, I start having various health issues again. Especially autoimmune, gut, and respiratory issues. When I tried the carnivore diet, all those issues disappeared. Maybe I'm just not meant to be a plant eater. 😕

If I was a rabbit maybe…. I’ll stick to my carnivore diet never felt better and I’m 61 with lots of miles on the body. I’ll pass on all the oxalates your pushing.

Eating a bunch of vegetables is surely a lot better than eating ice cream cakes and Reese's pieces. Keeping the glucose and insulin down is definitely a big part of the puzzle. What wild mammals experienced clogged arteries from eating other mammals and other mammals eggs? Do Serengeti Lions and Alaskan grizzlies have heart attacks from clogged arteries? How about bald eagles?

Oxalates, phytates, lechtins...no vit B12... why would I want to eat anything else?

Dr Esselstyn is the father of reversing coronary disease. He is a role model for physicians and was hugely influential in my decision to leave mainstream medicine and follow my heart to start Plant Docs to help others discover how plant-based nutrition can help prevent and reverse heart disease. This talk is as inspiring as any he has given and ever more so considering how sharp he is at over 90 years of age! PBNOW, thank you for sharing!

With a plant-based diet, when is a lot of your beans and seeds even vegetables be grown from GMO seeds unless they are heirloom??

These are the times when I wish I had lol teeth.

Hello I can not find any info from the Esselstyns regarding Nutritional Yeast Flakes Is it a YES or NO For coronary heart people????? Thank you 🙏

It was awesome when I became vegan 7 years ago. Not eating anything coming from animal sources made a difference in my health. Last month, I upped the ante and started plant-based eating. I feel better than ever before. Someone asked me today whether I don't have the temptation to eat meat sometimes. I replied, NEVER, on the contrary, I only have the temptation to not eat meat.

I‘ve read in a book about Epigenetics that when you overfeed a boy between 9 and 14 years his grandchildren might have a shorter life.

"High-Fat, Low-Carb Diet May Lower Repeat Heart Attack Risk in Indian Patients, Research Suggests" In a breakthrough for heart disease prevention in India, recent studies suggest that a diet high in healthy fats and low in carbohydrates could help prevent repeat heart attacks and strokes in patients with established cardiovascular disease. A 2023 study published in the Indian Journal of Medical Research followed 200 Indian patients who had previously suffered a heart attack or undergone coronary artery bypass surgery.[1] Participants were randomly assigned to either a low-carb, high-fat diet rich in nuts, seeds, vegetable oils, and lean meats, or a standard low-fat diet. After two years, the low-carb group had a significantly lower rate of recurrent cardiovascular events compared to the low-fat group (3% vs. 12%). They also showed greater improvements in body weight, blood sugar control, and HDL cholesterol levels. These findings build on earlier research, such as a 2019 study of 150 heart attack survivors in northern India.[2] Those following a low-carb, high-fat diet emphasizing healthy plant and animal foods had a 70% lower risk of repeat heart attacks over 3 years compared to those on a conventional low-fat diet. "For Indian patients with a history of heart disease, these studies suggest that increasing intake of healthy fats while reducing refined carbohydrates could be a powerful tool for preventing future cardiovascular events," says Dr. Amita Gupta, cardiologist at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi.[3] However, experts caution that dietary recommendations should be tailored to individual needs and risk factors. "While these results are promising, it's important for patients to work closely with their doctors to develop personalized eating plans that align with their unique health profiles and cultural preferences," notes Dr. Gupta. As rates of heart disease continue to rise in India, these findings offer hope for new nutritional strategies to improve outcomes and quality of life for those already affected by cardiovascular conditions. Further research is needed to optimize dietary guidelines for heart disease prevention and management across diverse Indian populations. [1] Patel, R. et al. (2023).
