- Recorded live at the Marlene Meyerson JCC, Neal Barnard, MD, discusses the science behind how foods affect our hormones-and our health. In his new book, Your Body in Balance, Dr. Barnard shares how common hormone-related conditions-like infertility, weight gain, menopausal symptoms, breast and prostate cancers, thyroid problems, and acne-can be affected by and improved by simple diet changes. Your Body in Balance is available now wherever books are sold!
The fact that we can heal our bodies through food, is the best kept secret by the medical world. I am living proof that one can eat themselves healthy...
Ditto!
Been saying...food is our healer and the correct food
What did u eat?
"... one can eat THEMSELVES?" I think ONE should be paired with a singular such as HIMSELF or maybe HIM/HERSELF. This is a grammar mistake that a lot of people make so I'll let it be a lesson for all.
@@peterpiper487 Thanks for your correction but the main reason we are here is to learn more about our health. This is not a grammar school for grammar policing.
My favorite line - “the uterus is the most optimistic part of the body. Every month, this could be it! This could be it!!!!”
THE BEST :)
LOL!

So!!! I watched this video a week before my periods and decided to remove dairy (I've been vegetarian for 9 years but a bit obsessed with dairy) and see how it'll affect my cycle. Seriously, it's hard to believe but I had no pain, no cramps, no temperature and no bloating! The less painful periods in 20 years! Girls, you should try it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same here!! I eliminated ALL dairy from my diet. After a few months, no more menstrual cramps. I used to suffer from excruciatingly painful cramps, and now I can’t even remember what cramps feel like! It did wonders for me 🥲
Definitely dairy plays a big role in mestrual cramps. No pain no heaviness of period. Just heaven.
DAIRY IS THE WORST OFFENDER! You have made a great step ! A few weeks later - you will see the difference....
DAIRY IS THE WORST OFFENDER! You have made a great step ! A few weeks later - you will see the difference....
Literally just tried this! I stopped eating dairy two weeks before my period and it came on earlier than normal but no bloating or pains either! It’s super light mid week which is rare for me. Health really is wealth!
I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroid 2016, was given medications. In 2018 after giving birth to my son I was diagnosed with Hypothyroid. My doctor could not understand how I had both high and low. I decided to go on a plant base diet. I stopped taking my medications and started my diet on December 1st 2019. On February 2020 my endocrinologist was very happy to tell me that my thyroid levels were normal. He stated “ Keep taking the medications they are working” Then I told the him, “I stopped the medication 2 months ago and started a plant base diet” The doctor looked at me and said “ oh no it’s not the diet, idk what it is but it’s not that, you can keep eating what you want. I didn’t listen to my doctor, I’m still on a plant base diet and I see him every 6months and he orders blood work and for over a year now my thyroid levels have been normal. Anyone who has been diagnosed with thyroid imbalance, trust Dr. Barnard go on a plant base diet.
Sis, find a new doctor.
He could not believe that he knows nothing about hypo/hyperthyroidism but the doses of medications.
So happy for you! It makes sense right? Why would medical and pharmaceuticals want us to cure ourselves??? And not profit off of us?
Glad you figured that out and took charge of your health instead of trusting a Dr who doesn't have anyone's best interest in mind and instead would rather appear to be "right" even if he is wrong.
Your doctor sounds like a psychopath
After watching this I am now considering both a plant based diet and a marriage proposal to this doctor.
😂
😂😂
Lollll
😆😆😆 both are good considerations
👏👍😊
"Maybe we are doing too much with pills and not enough with food, let's change that"
Has type of demeanor people would listen to. Not preachy admits not perfect. But so true the people that needed to hear that weren't there! Let's keep spreading it! We need to get off meds, feel energetic and happy
This info finds majority of us already on lifetime prescription meds,hope the change to plant based and keto diets at least change most of this conditions.
@Milica Skenderovic, Mag. Pharm. 👍
As long as its organic, non-gmo, and as fresh as possible.
@@justinamusyoka4986 Plant based diet is the only main healthy way to cure illnesses! It has cure many cancer patients!! Not keto pls! Pls AVOID MEAT!!! VERY TOXIC TO HEALTH 💀
I had a hormonal breast cancer and was not an avid dairy drinker/eater. I drank soy shakes twice a day and was very lean. I had preexisting uterine fibroids, worked 40hrs a week and travel every other weekend. When I traveled I would eat seafood and low fat diet. My diet at home/weekly is salads, chicken and rare beef but veges mostly and low carbs. And some low sugar dark chocolate!I clocked 6-9 miles of running weekly with two or three days of weight training.
I was 43 when this happen. No family history. My personal diagnosis was stress and mentally abusive relationship. Stress causes a women’s body to use it’s progesterone and changes it to stress hormones like cortisol or adrenaline. With no or very little progesterone your estrogen becomes carcinogenic. This issue caused my tumors, fibroids and breast tumor to grow in very obvious estrogen receptor sites. I even notice the swelling and reduction of them during my cycles. I was being pressured to have chemo!!!! I ended up having a excision of breast tumor and partial hysterectomy. Then as back up but probably didn’t need it had breast low dose radiation.
I dropped the soy shakes and only now eat pea protein shakes. I’ve changed nothing else. I drank milk heavily as a teen but now just a spit in the tea and yogurt/kefir 2 or so times a week. I alternate with egg omelettes w/veges. After the age of 25 I drank rarely. After the surgeries, To ease the early entry to menopause I applied biological hormones to protect my heart and bone density.
I’m cancer free for 8 yes now. Im still very active and eat what I want in moderation.
Food plays a role but only a woman knows that we have way too many jobs in a marriage and it is time for men to either realize the amount of work and stress we endure and honor stay at home moms or get real and take on 50% of the household/child rearing duties.
Women stop catering to men and take care of yourself. This includes taking time to build a separate social life/support group.
America needs to re-examine and redefine rolls w/o skewing our genders. All work is important and non-discriminatory in raising a family. Share the load people and get political to protect families and relationships. Don’t let economics and business dictate what is true and healthy.
Thank you for sharing your lecture. I agree there is definitely some business to be examined and messages to be put out in the public to save Americans if not the world from trash.
The crowd is dry. This guy is hilarious I was laughing out loud and learning. Watched from beginning to the end. Thanks Dr 💕. Now I am going to change my life !
😂👌
Excuse me maam.... This is a serious health discussion not a stand up comedy.🤣🤣🤣🤣
How is it going? Have you been eating whole food plant-based this year? Let us know how you’re feeling now! Have a great day. 🙂🍉🍇🥦🥬🫑🥑🫐
👌🏼 Fasting is healing ❤️🩹

After 10 months of infertility, my wife did the vegan diet and within 1 month she was pregnant. She had endometriosis and IBS. With the diet all her symptoms disappeared within 10 days.
Hope this message encourages other couples fighting infertility
I have bad IBS...the higher fibre of the vegan diet didn’t make it worse for her?
@@Healing_Oaks no, the IBS disappeared. But she also cut gluten, corn, soy and caffeine from the diet in the first month
I went vegan and had a miscarriage. I guess it depends on the individual chemistry. Also on toilet almost nonstop.
JM H So sorry about your miscarriage.
Are you his friend 😂
He is not only a great Dr, but also a great story teller. Clap for you doctor.
👋👋👋
This is amazing. I’m a ten year cancer survivor . I am primarily plant based and I believe it’s the reason my cancer hasn’t returned. All my friends who wouldn’t change their diet passed away.
Suzanne Summers should have become vegan. She was a health advocate but still ate meat & other animal products!
Kudos to you! My mom, aunt and both sisters had breast cancer. I'm the only female adult without it. We were part of the BRCa1 & 2 gene studies. I taught cooking classes for PCRM in party to deal with those around me who thought I was a "health food nut," (guilty) and or cult member. I would see cancer remissions and diabetes and heart disease reversals all the time. It is so sad to see those who aren't open to the message and don't understand that most docs don't get nutrition classes in med school because there's no money in broccoli. ;) Congrats again!
Mom blamed me for her getting cancer from "stressing" about my life choices. Ironically she refuses to try a plant based diet to prevent remission. She consumes a lot of animal products that are associated with the cancer she got.
Sorry about your friends... change and illness creates huge stress, so it can be harder to do...
It greatly helps to have someone close to you do'n what you Need to.... No guarantees, just a chance to improve... Glad you took that chance are do'n well! 🤗
@@annemccarron2281
Everyone doesn't do great S vegan.... There's more to than you think.... Suzanne survived many diff cancers and changed her diet dramatically several times when she found things that could help her and she healed... 'Cured' isn't really what happened with many illnesses... Depends on what it is... But a healthy diet that suits your chemistry, as proven by your blood work and ability to thrive is How you know it's for you! 🤗
I was diagnosed with endometriosis at the age of 29. Until then, I didn't know the name of my terrible pain. I watched Dr. Neal Barnard's video about vegan diet/less oils/no processed food/less sugar...after only one month of diet, my pain decreased so much, that in the second month of period, I had no pain at all. I was so happy I could not believe it was working. Now, after 2 years of veganism, I can honestly say, I will never go back to the old style of living and eating. I owe my healing to God who talked to me through Dr. Neal. I am so grateful for this video. Thank you so much. My heart goes to every woman who is suffering from endo, you should try this diet and convince yourself of the miracle. God bless you all! We are stronger together! 💖💖
9:54 Huge respect for the doctor who was genuinely concerned about the patient's health and didn't do the surgery which was unnecessary👏🙌🤗
That's the real miracle. Most doctors would have done it anyway.
Right!?? My 4 year old daughter had an emergency appendectomy and during surgery they realized the appendix was perfectly healthy. They took it out anyway because “the incision scar would make any doctor in the future think that she had the appendix removed”. I kid you not. So ridiculous.
@@annettecarter9393 it worried me so much when I had this thought…
@@ruthalufagus they probably did the right thing. If her appendix later flared up and she became unconscious, they wouldn't think it was her appendix because of the scar and she could possibly die. They did the right thing because the appendix serves no useful function
@@kaldobie5994 I don’t doubt they followed protocol. And the medical staff did what they felt they needed to do to keep my daughter alive and healthy…for that I’m certainly grateful. Your statement that the appendix serves no useful function is pretty bold, though, as it cannot be proven. And there’s evidence to suggest otherwise. Just because the medical community hasn’t completely figured it out yet doesn’t mean it’s fact. Look at how much information about the human body has been gradually discovered over the years…and we’re clearly not done yet!
Are people not getting his jokes? He is so funny! And super intelligent!
I know I got all of them...very witty doctor
I heard laughter
He’s a living legend in the plant based movement!
I got them. Such a classy guy.
Certain venues have mics that are deliberately set up to not pick up noise so its possible we just can't hear the audience. Hope that explains it.
A plant based food lifestyle has completed balanced my body’s PH level, healed my gut, stopped breakouts, bloating, mensural cramping, headaches and aging !
Plant based diet healed me after years of trying everything else!!
Trolling much.
Update please
So very well explained. It needs to be put in action. I will continue to emphasize to my patients the importance of a plant based diet.
I love how he described pregnancy as “ A blessed event” 💗

Depends on who you are🤷🏻♀️ If it was me, no way!! My husband and I are blissfully childfree. A pregnancy would not welcomed or be a blessed event
@@sweetpea5539 I agree. I'm blessed to not have children, all my money spent on vacations, health retreats, nice restaurants and retirement. I see my sis in law stress so much over her kids, I'm so glad I am not her because my life is full of quietness and joy.

OMG. I'm so thankful for these shows. I've been diagnosed with PCOS and I was getting my periods if I take some medications. I stopped them went plant based and within 1 month I got my periods without any medications. I'm so thankful for this. I'm very happy and I'm praying that other women with PCOS will know about the plant based diet. This is way too exciting 😄.
Hi! If I may, can I ask how irregular your menstruation was? Mine are never ever regular. They could appear from 1 -2 months to a space of even 6 months to a year. I am really curious as to if this plant based diet could cure it. Thanks! :)
u need to wait and watch the regular periods over a year.. its just 1 month only 😅
My wife had PCOS for years when I met her, as did her sisters. She was vegan at the time for 14 years having never even had a desire to eat meat. The first time she ate meat her symptoms were relieved and a few passed before she actually integrated meat into her diet and it seems that more meat is better for her. Really curious why it was the other way around for her.
Love this guy. No long boring intro - straight into his message.
I had pcod since I was 14-15 yes old.. I'm. 27 now.. During the quarantinr I wasn't able tk eat junk food and non veg.. I ate veg food n no dairy.. My periods became regular.. After the unlockdown jn sept/ oct I started eating junk and my periods became irregular.. From Dec I strictly went on a veg diet n gluetrn free diet and djd intermittent fasting.. My periods are regular again.. Exact 28 days cycle
Thank you for sharing
What did you avoid in gluten free ?
@@bareshweta27 jowar, nachni instead of wheat roti
do you mean PCOS?
@@leidacastilian7900 it's the same thing
I wish Neal Barnard was immortal. We need more dedicated, plant based researchers like him doing good for the world. The research he focuses on needs to continue for years to come!
Cecilia, you are right!!!
well thanks to his diet he'll probably have a very long life!
Precisely
Wouldn't it be great to have Dr. Barnard's IQ and charisma to make such a difference in the world? I am a retired school nurse.
I tried, but most people put a lot of lip service to health. They really aren't interested in changing the status quo. I can't tell you how much criticism I got for trying to make the environment healthier. We selfish Ameticans want to eat junk & then complain because the doctor can't instantaneously cure our illnesses! Pathetic!
This is the funniest doctor I’ve ever seen and listened to. He’s fantastic ❤️
Love Dr. Neal Barnard! I laughed, got goosebumps, and learned so much. Thank you
Plant based for about 1 year has lead me to no asthma, painless menses, weightloss, no constipation.. Now just imagine being on plant based lifestyle for a lifetime... 🤗😍
The ABSOLUTE truth. When I went Plant-based about 4 years ago I had similar experience.
I hope you change your mind one time 😇
Similar thing happened to me, when I started eating meat again after I had been miserable for years. What now?
(I've never not been plant"based" though).
Me too! I just started my plant based journey for about a year also and I feel like a different person. A better healthier person not just physically but also mentally.
An animal based diet had the same effects on me
I loveeeeeeee this doctor! I changed because of him, and Dr. Klapper, Dr. Greger and all the others WFPB Doctors in the USA, UK, Germany! I was able to convince my mother and grandmother to eat WFPB and ...my grandmother doesn’t need statins anymore and my mother‘s cancer is in remission! As for me, I could have been sick right now but I changed my lifestyle and diet before the disease knocked on my door! THANK YOU MY DEAR DOCTOR
Where in nyc are these. Doctors
@@jb66young hello! You can search on Internet for their names and you'll find their clinics, books, everything you need: Neal Barnard, Michael Greger, Michael Klapper, T.C. Campbell, Dr. Esselstyn, Pam Popper, Brenda Davis, Will Bulsiewicz ;)
@@susanaduarteraposo Thanks Susan.
Vegan doctors in Germany? What are their names? 😀 I live in germany. Thank you 🙏🥰
Hallo, ich kenne am meistens die UK und USA Ärzte, aber Patrik Baboumian (DE)ist Vegan und sogar den stärkste Mann der Welt. Vielleicht hat er Tipps für dich? Er ist deutsche. Sonnst kannst du auch beim Internet schreiben "Vegan Ärzte in Deutschland" :-) sicher kommen schon ein paar Tipps bei deiner Suchen!
Amazing work! Thank you, we need more doctors like you
From the age of 14 years old I have always had severely painful long and heavy monthly periods, vomiting, diarrhea and a fever - went onto the pill to manage it. I'm 42, went vegan 6 years - I could finally leave the pill and endured for the first time PAINLESS AND SHORT menstrual cycles. ..... Then a month ago went for my first Covid jab and BAM!! - - I'm 14 again and bending over a toilet or curling up on the bathroom floor! Nobody is talking about this side effect - women's health is being ignored.
those cycles may or may not have been anovulatory, thus probably came with no symptoms. i am not for or against the covid 19 vaccine, but it is highly unlikely that it had anything to do with your cycle.... :/ you should dig deeper and after so many years with 100% externally controlled hormones, there is a lot you can work on in replenishing what the pill deprived you from
Tell your doctor and let other professionals know. You shouldn't be left to take this on your own.
At 42, could just be perimenopause. Just saying 🤷♀️
@@peacelove7437 No, its the Jab.
that's interesting. I'm 42 as well, low fat vegan, didn't get the vaccine and my endo returned. Did have covid. I wonder if that messes up the hormonal system. Or maybe it's perimenopauze like @peace love said.
Wow. I thought I was the only one. I had crippling PMS - severe mood swings, insomnia, depression, anxiety and cramps starting two weeks before my period. I also had two or three days around ovulation during which I became irritable and anxious. Needless to say, it was ruining my life. I planned my life around my cycle, knowing that than half the month I’d struggle with concentration and even noise and light would trigger me. I went vegan 3 months ago, and I have NO PMS. It was effective immediately. My skin is no longer greasy. My hair has stopped falling out (another fun thing that I’d been struggling with) and my energy levels overall are so much better. I’ll never go back to eating animal products.
Same here
No meat
No cheese
No milk
No egg
Cream cheese
I am addicted
Maybe I can eat coconut flour
@@jeeolsen9993 There are vegan substitutes to everything and vegan chees is way better once you accept the change.
Exactly how I feel around my monthly cycle!
I never linked my anxiety with my period symptoms! interesting...
I love reading comments like this because..... People think I'm crazy and making stuff up just to 'justify' my vegan lifestyle/ choice. BUT, I stop trying to convince them instead I'm sad to know that they won't live a long life with the rate they are stuffing bacon down almost every morning 🤢
I've been searching for videos on transformation on a vegan diet but they all say the same things, that's why I think your comment is so refreshing because it's true as I've experienced it myself, but didn't link those to the vegan lifestyle.
I went vegan 7 years ago after suffering with endometriosis all my adult life. My endo disappeared literally overnight. I wish someone had told me this years ago.
Did he say soy is not good?
Is there a Program on what to eat daily ? Would love to give this a go
@@amaram7169 I believe the book has a program, but if you download the free daily dozen app from another wonderful Whole food plant based doctor, Dr Greger, it will guide you through all you need to eat in a day on a whole food plant based diet. Just eat all that’s on the app’s list, and get rid of oil, sugar, processed food & animal products.
@@gurvinderarora3735 No, he said soy is good. 😊
@@emongoogle2517 Thank you so much, much appreciated. Will definitely get on that. Wish I saw this before my surgery last month but gonna get on it for maintenence purposes
What an amazing talk and an amazing human being! Thank you so much for all your work!
Dr Neal Barnard - you are awesome. Thankyou for this. I'm a Registered Nurse. I thought my diet was already close to perfect but after watching this a few days ago I decided to go 'plant based'. I have never been a big meat eater but I do love salmon, fish and cheese. I have given up salmon and ALL dairy now, and wondering, 'Is it a coincidence that I haven't been coughing all night like I usually do.' I have had sinus issues for ever and the last few nights I have not been waking up coughing! I'm also using this diet for my hormones. At 46 I feel like my PMS symptoms are getting worse. I'm hoping in a months time this diet has also helped with these symptoms. Not to mention the strong family history of heart disease. Thankyou for this very valuable information that will improve peoples lifestyles, help the planet and save the lives of animals and humans. So much gratitude :) Sally
Since being on an IUD I have cramps EVERY SINGLE TIME (regardless of menstrual cycle) I eat fried chicken (1/month) or any amount of meat more than a slice of bacon. Serious cramps. I recognized the correlation and tracked it. My meat consumption is a significant factor in my felt inflammation. Being 85% plant based reducing to none is not difficult. It’s more annoying that people around me try to convince me “it’s in your head”. When I have cramps within 24 hours of eating meat it’s definitely real. This gives me validation. I knew it was the darn meat.
Yup it’s definitely the meat. Before I went vegan I would faint and vomit regularly on my period. Since going vegan that hasn’t happened once-in fact I don’t usually take ibuprofen on it anymore. Normally taking some turmeric will do it for me and that’s all. Best thing I’ve ever done for myself was biting the bullet and going vegan.
Did you notice a change in PMS symptoms with the IUD? I had have the copper IUD for two years, have been vegan since 2016 but have the worst PMS ever these days :(
Kidneys work as filters in the body... I believe this is known. Too much protein processing or filtering will do a massive number on the kidneys.
Like several appliances we have at home, we need to clean out whatever filters it might have periodically.
What doesn’t seem to have to come to light for many people yet is, the ovaries and the kidneys work together.. it’s like a backup system. Testicles in men are also have renal connection.
So OF COURSE, going low on the proteins (and sugars) will definitely have a positive effect on inflammation and cysts connected to the female reproductive system generally. It even helps cure PCOS, which is a diabetic complication. For those ignorant people saying it’s all in your head, ironically their response proves it’s in their heads 😅
Hope this info helps someone.
Tyra High it might be the IUD. Years ago, they had stopped making them because of risky side effects. Now, they put it back on the market. Do research, but my suggestion is to remove it from your body.
Sounds like the darn iud.
I went plant based 5 years ago after watching "Forks Over Knives" and my life changed FOREVER, no more acne, no more IBS, no more headaches, and I lost weigh. My whole family is plant based now. If you want to go plant based make sure you don't eat any junk, a lot of my friends went vegan for a couple of weeks and were only eating junk vegan food, they end up gaining weight and feeling bad. Make sure you follow a healthy diet, lots of vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts (in moderation) and lots of water. Once you see the difference in your energy, weight and complexion you'll never go back. Thank you Dr. Barnard for everything you do to keep us informed! God bless you always!
Do you mind if I ask you what blood type group you are ? Thankyou ! :)
But isn't grains inflammatory? Nuts hv high omega 6 which is mostly unhelpful in the modern day diet? And then vegetable oils earning a bad rep? Sigh! Idk what to believe now given the confusing plethora of health n dietary advice.
@@glowglitter9066 olive oil is ok.
@@helenahandkart1857 For vegan diet yes. Thanks.
@@glowglitter9066 in moderation.
You may want to consider that nuts have a lot more in them once we scratch the surface. Like Selenium in Brazil nuts? Essential mineral. Like has already been said though, in moderation.
Also by grains are you considering quinoa, bulgar wheat, pearl barley. Whole grains and some don't have gluten if that is an issue for you. Quinoa is also a source of complete protein.
Quite complicated honestly.
This information is LIFE CHANGING!Thank you so much for this Dr Neal Barnard.
Dr. Barnard is such and intelligent, thoughtful, gentle and kind man. Thank you Doctor, for all that you do.
I am so glad some doctors are doing this. Thank you for being wise and honest.
I have been on a plant based diet for about 6 weeks. I do feel better so far and I am so surprised by all the plant based options I never knew existed. The more I explore, the less I miss the old "comforts" of animal based food. I am 45 years old and obese at 5'9" and 275 lbs. I have always been overweight. I've started to show possible thyroid issues, autoimmune markers, prediabetes, and a fatty liver. I am not active mostly due to the pain I have in most of the joints in my body. I have been suffering from severe depression for just over a year, despite being medicated for most of it. I will check in at my doctor's office in 6 months to see what changes have occurred for my body and mind and post the update here. Wish me luck.
How was it?
are you losing weight now? If you go strictly veggies the weight will fall of. it did for me. 135 pounds in a year in 2011..but it is a tough diet. salads and veggies all the time. but I use mustard on salads and different veggies to spice is up. Yellow mustard and stone ground mustard and horse radish mustard. and apple cider vinegar with the mother on salads with mustard. Mustard mustard mustard. 🙂
I use organic unsweetened applesauce from the grocery store for my salad dressing and a few spices if you want. Maybe garlic powder. Best wishes. Hubby and I have been vegan for 2 years.
How are things going for you now
Wishing you the best!
I must say, I have always had really bad PMS symptoms and I did notice a change when I switched to plant based diet but I hadn't watched this video. It did get better! Now I have double the reasons!
You’re brilliant! I’m thrilled that I found you back in 2019 - I’m 60 years old - Living my Best Life - I’m riding my Harley all over the United States, and feeling amazing! I’m spreading the word as best I can!
My daughter is following in her mommy’s healthy footsteps, and my future grandchildren will also. 💜💜💜
Omg! This totally makes sense! One of the best talks I've watched on here.
I listen to a lot of these & this is one of the best! Very honest & genuine guy! Love your sense of humor ❤️
This doc is a brilliant orator. Thank you so much.
If only every doctor were like him. The world would be such a beautiful place. God bless you 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for getting it out there!!! With a P.Harma society so rampant, more docs need to be our advocates! God bless you!! ❤️
Dr. Barnard..... You are God-sent....... and you are doing a fabulous job........... How grateful we ought to be for your presence among us!!! You speak in a manner that could be described as ''low key''..... but I am hearing the mountains quake....... Infinite blessings to you and yours........... and a long long long life........... Jasmine from Canada
Dr. Barnard, Thanks so much for this and for all you do!
💯 % agree Changing my diet to plant based has yielded miraculous results on my thyroid, sugar, & inflammation numbers. I have been diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases for a decade. Presently, feel better, sleep better, NO MORE COG FOG, no pharmaceuticals and lost weight.
Thank you doctor.
Keep up the good job 👍🏻
Thank you Neal Bernard for this info, you changed my life forever!!!
First time I can understand a lecture about hormones, thank you dr. Bernard, have your books and I'm vegan.
April 2016 - Heart attack and stent. I was told, "You've had a heart attack. You're going to have another one." Then I went on a vegan diet and within a year was off all my heart meds. Today, six years later, a couple of my neighbors came to me and asked if I could help them, and I have. Now, I'm saving my money to take PCRM's Food For Life course next year.
Thank you so much for taking me one step further on my way to really health oriented nutrition. 👏
This was so informative. Makes the topic of diet so crystal clear. Our health is connected to what we eat plain and simple. Thank you so much for this wonderful video.
Thank you so much Doctor Barnard! I am sharing your presentation with my network!
The body can heal! Yet some still don't realise we are a biological computer running from programs, programs we can consciously activate and even change. Wonderfully said ❤️
Do you have to add the biological word? Physics says we are electrical energy fields because atoms are electrical energy fields. We all consist of 7 billion billion billion atoms. We are not biological at all. We are alkaline just like a battery. Our bodies regulate us between 7.35 pH and 7.45 pH. These numbers are very close to the middle between alkaline and acidic.
Dr. Young has written a lot of books about how we must eat mostly alkaline foods. If we don't we go out of balance. Just like a battery. In the book Hands of Light written by the physicist Barbara Brennan are many pictures/diagrams of what we look like as electromagnetic, holographic, multidimensional and eternal beings. We can't die because we are constantly being created.
That is evident by the quarks that are constantly bursting forth spinning billions of times a second as 3 points of light forming protons and neutrons. These words are in the book The Quantum World written by the physicist Kenneth Ford.
Wonderful presentation, very educative on a number of health issues. Thank you Dr Neal Barnard
such a good presentation. I send this to my patients, they deserve to know.
I’m lactose intolerant and I really don’t like meat so going on a vegan diet was a no brainer for me. I was on my 6th month on the diet when people started telling me I look sick. I was feeling great and kept arguing with people that this is the healthiest possible diet on the Earth. I decided to do a blood work mainly to prove everyone how healthy my live choice was. I was so shocked and disappointed to see that I was wrong all along- red cells, white cells, hemoglobin, D vitamin, B vitamins ...you name it, they were all way under the normal range of a healthy person.. My blood results had never looked so bad. To make things worst , a week after the test I caught a flu and almost died (from a simple flu). I changed my diet immediately adding meat just 3 times a week and after three months my blood results were back to normal. Vegan is not for everyone. I think people should know that and this is the reason I am sharing my experience. Good luck and stay safe everyone
That’s must have been terrifying Victorya! Glad you pulled through lady, you’re here for reason. hope your health is much better now.
@@annomaly751 thank you for the kind comment!!! Wish you all the best
@Sabrina BillJoe different bodies, different reaction! I ate everything but meat and dairy products just like any vegan.
@Sabrina BillJoe Yes. Someone actually told me that since my blood type is 0, I’m supposed to eat meat. After all there might be something true in this Asian theory
usually people dont die from the flu. Are you sure you didnt catch covid?
He is a very good and honest man. God bless him. Yes "We are what we eat".
I used to get PMS and was sensitive to menstrual and stress hormones. The symptoms of brain fog, depression and altered memory function would last 2 weeks. Imagine getting PMS symptoms for 2 weeks, and before they resolve, a stressful encounter happening - that's the whole month gone to the dogs.
I got into a vegan diet and I so thank God for that. It changed my life for better.
I recently got into a very big stressful situation last month. I got those symptoms so bad I had to rely on my daughter for cues if I had showered that day etc. I did a raw vegetable juice /drink with a meal of mostly raw plants, and my symptoms were relieved within 2 hours or so. I did that with all my meals that day,, and by the next day, the symptoms had completely resolved.
What a Mighty God we serve
This is amazing. You’re such a wonderful person, doctor and speaker!!! Thank you for your invaluable work!!!
U literally changed my life. Thank u!
Ty doctor neil for sharing us this video. It is good to know that there is healing beyond taking medications, undergoing surgery and it is just boils down to how we could take care of ourselves better. I appreciate the random cases and studies that has been said here on this video. It gives hope and clarity on holistic healing.
A phenomenal topic especially of our times. I wish more would be described in relationship to the impact the nutritional deficiencies that we see in food not just from processed foods but because of other contaminants in Water Systems in municipalities further adds to the bioavailability or permeability of our gut that impact our health as well. A follow-up video of some sort even in a slide presentation would be excellent on this topic.
This is absolutely amazing!
A great human being with great sense of humor, thanks for this information.
I’m glad that I found Dr Neal Barnard in CZcams! Thank you God and Dr Barnard 🙏🏻
This is by far the most informative video I have ever watch in my adult life. I am so glad I picked this to listen to while working.
Magnificent video. Simply fantastic. 💎. Eye opening. So simple so healthy powerful to hear him. 💚💜
Thank You 🙏 Dr Barnard ... Blessings for You and your family 🤗
My patient was eating cheeseburger and fries the day in the ICU after a quadruple bypass surgery s/p MI. That’s how supportive hospitals are.
I cured endometriosis fully with the help of mother nature. Soon I will start my youtube channel to share my journey.
Pleeeeeze....PLEASE do!!!!
Please do i need help
Please share your story As a gynecologist from India I have started doing my bit to spread awareness
@@drpriyankamehta hi Priyanka. Dr Archana from emergency medicine. Can we connect.
How please?? Comment below, my endometriosis pain is horrible
Such incredible content. One of the best game changing videos ever this lifetime. Thanks Dr. Barnard!
Wow, this was so informative and nice to listen to. I am mostly vegan especially for most of most of the reasons detailed here, but not only. This only reassured me I'm on the right side of things and like the good Doctor said it starts with our children and the food we provide them with. My only struggle is that now pregnant it is quite challenging to consume protein that is not from animal products. There is so much I can take from beans, peas or chickpeas... Loved it and sharing it everywhere now.
This information should be discussed in whole world 🌎! God Bless to all of those people dedicated to discover such a great 👍 diet for a whole world!
Such a good listen. Wish addressed more conditions with nutrition advice before drugs. With Dr's like you we're on the way.
Dr. Barnand, I loved the way to explain things and make it so easy to understand, thank you for your hard work and all the important information we can get from your presentations, God Bless you
Absolutely love this lecture. I really appreciate Dr. Barnard and I know he is a very highly respected proponent of a Whole Food Plant Based diet. I just wish that in this lecture, he had mentioned that IF you introduce vegan junk food (like vegan Taco Bell) when you eliminate meat, eggs and dairy, it is important to remember that further dietary changes, (to eliminate vegan junk food and embrace a Whole Food Plant Based diet) will be necessary in order to achieve optimal health and healing. Just one more sentence about that, and this lecture would be perfect.
good comment: I take your point very well, but this very talk is the educational piece I'd missed when I went vegan a couple of years and went back because my health hadn't radically improved then: --> the missing piece was the added oils Yay!!! Back to veganism now and applying what Dr Barnard is telling us about the small particles of fat that most likely won't go away and will continue to keep our cells resisting insulin (especially in me an older person) who needed to really understand this. Mic the Vegan (CZcams) had told on his videos that oils were unhealthy, but I never heard the reason why. Dr. Barnard tells us why: that the use of magnetic resonance spectroscopy reveals the microscopic particles in our cells (pertinent to diabetes: muscle cells) blocking the entry of insulin ushering glucose into the muscle cells so they can be burned as fuel.
I totally agree. It’s the oil, salt & sugar in the processed vegan food. I got hooked on this food - the vegan sausages & burgers with oven fries but kidding myself it was still healthy as it was vegan plus I still had fresh fruit, salads & green smoothies. Oh & vegan dark chocolate, vegan red wine, gluten free, vegan breads & pastries & high protein vegan nut bars. The health issues came back plus some new ones & I gained over 30 lbs. I found any processed foods - vegan or not - are addictive & if I have them in the house I eventually eat them.
He could have said that sugar is poison
Absolute legend and inspiration for myself, family & my channel, keep them coming Dr. Barnard!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr. Barnard for this informative video.
Dr Barnard, you are absolutely amazing!!! A true hero, a true saint in my eyes! Thank you, thank you for all you do!!! God bless you!
Why in the world would 1.3 thousand people give a downvote? This was the most enlightening instructional video I have watched in a year!
Hello how are you doing today hope you're safe over there?
Most likely they are Carnivore or oil guzzlers.
I have been on a plant-based diet for many years. It has helped tremendously with my health and autoimmune situation. I have recently started phasing out dairy. I didn't think I could do it but it has been getting easier. I love cheese! I also found that my autoimmune condition went into remission in the past when I was eating about 95% raw organic plant-based food.
Who would have thought that medicine can be informative and funny at the same time, terrific,love it!
This is making my heart sing! Thank you 💖🙏
I’ve been plant based 5 years. It makes a massive difference to our periods and hormones
are you still vegan and have no health issues
Dr Neal Barnard! You truly are an ANGEL, thank you so much for continuing to REALLY SAVES LIFES by spreading the TRUTH and not about the money..but truly about Human being's Lifes and well Being! YOU TRULY ARE AN AMAZING PERSON
Dr. Neal Barnard is a wonderful example of the doctor most of us have spent a lifetime trying to find. Bless his heart.
This is by far the most useful and life changing video on CZcams that I watched.Great inspiration for us to make a change.Thank you very much for sharing this.
Thank you for this great lecture.
This is incredible! I wish my doctor was this knowledgeable.
Thank you for all you do. Legislation is so important to support the facts. We need to make big changes.
Our lives depend on it.
Hero and Legendary, Dr. Barnard.
That’s the type of doctor we need in our health care systems. Not these doctor who just make everything ought to be from anxiety and just throw pills at you when that’s not the case.
Very well done enjoyed every minute of his lesson/speech
Dr Barnard you are a legend thank you ! Keep up this outstanding work!
I love this human being called Dr Neal Barnard !

Y'all such an inspiration 🥰
Appreciate y'all from the bottom of my heart 💖
Be Blissful Eternally 🙏👼🌈
Hello how are you doing today hope you're safe over there ?
Omg!! thank god I stumbled across your video. You are truly a life saver 💕 as I was listening to you speak I was thinking about so many people that are in desperate need of hearing your stories. I can't wait to share with several young women who are desperately trying to get pregnant and others who are suffering through so many different ailments. I found you quite humourous to listen to. 😁That's always a good thing!!
I loved your talk on the soy, as I used to take Soy for years but stoped taking it because I was told it was bad for you and could cause cancer. I really am shocked to hear that you were saying it is really good for you. I've been trying desperately to be vegetarian for at least a month now and I am now going to try to become vegan, my husband travels and has been away for about two months, so I have been mostly vegetarian for that time. I feel absolutely amazing and have no real issues ,I have lots of energy and I sleep really well.
My husband however is a major meat eater. It's going to be a challenge when he returns next week but I will desperately to get him to at least change a little in his diet. Thank you ,thank you ,thank you it's people like you that make the world a joy to live in. God bless you🙏 ps I can't wait to go out and get your book 💃💃💃💃
