- Heart Disease Reversal Diet - Did the Carnivore Diet Cause My Stroke?
On August 15, I had a stroke after having been on the Paleo, KETO and then the Carnivore diets. All of these diets are extremely high in animal products and saturated fats. Although after my stroke, I initially decided to remain on the carnivore diet, since that time I have studied the research extensively and made the personal decision to switch from the carnivore diet to a whole food plant based diet.
In this video I share information about why I am making the change and also information about a heart disease reversal course Alan and I will be taking very soon.
If you have any opinions about this, or anything you’d like to add, I hope you’ll share the information in the comments section below the video. That way we can help each other! XXOO Beth

I was whole foods vegetarian for over 40 years and switched to ketovore/carnovore five years ago. To be honest I feel much better being higher fat and low carb these days. My cholesterol ratios are better and AIC went from pre diabetic to normal 5.4.
Same. Grains, and starchy vegetables make me constipated and cause me to gain weight.
Everyone is different.
I went vegan for 6 month and got skinny weak and frail af couldn’t even lift in the gym lol. I will never do that again I’m on keto nearly half a year cut sugar out eating fatty meat veg and I feel amazing not to forget to mention adding organ meats in the diet I really noticed a shift in my mental state of being when I started consuming organ meats
Of course. And her new path would restore your poor health, likely add MS to the mix, send your A1C to 20, and you to meet Jesus.
Hi Beth glad u r doing better. Look forward to more plant base info. Thank u❤
Thank you! Will do!
I thought I saw Beth say in an earlier video that her stroke was caused by an unknown hole in her heart … not from her diet .
To each his own , I’m not carnivore but I eat meat and plenty of healthy fat and my HDL and trig ratio is now perfect when before when I was on a low fat , high plant diet with grilled chicken and brown rice etc it was terrible , and indicated I was not heart healthy .
It’s very confusing and all these people flip flopping on you tube makes it worse. Everybody has to decide for themselves , for me when I was technically doing a so called “ hearth healthy “ diet I was the sickest I have ever been . Now , I feel great and work out daily.
Maybe there is no set diet for every single person. Some people thrive on carnivore and some may thrive on low fat. People of all diets have heart attacks , vegans , whole plant based , carnivores etc , people with low cholesterol have as many heart attacks as with high cholesterol . Do what your body feels best on .
I thought she said the heart defect was the cause of the stroke also. 🤷♀️
I agree with you a 💯
Carnivore did feel good I have to admit. Unfortunately, though it turns out it is not very good for one’s health. Eating meat and dairy causes a high saturated fat diet. I wish I had known that before I started the carnivore diet. I listen to influencers that seem to know what they were talking about. I found out later however that there are no studies that support carnivore as a heart disease reversal diet. Heart disease is the number one killer in America.
I can’t speak to just carnivore because I’ve never been strictly carnivore , but I am probably a meat heavy low carb .
Studies are so controversial because they are so often done with a bias from the start or backed by big food , or big Pharma etc . The vegan and plant based community is behind many as well so I take many of them with a grain of salt.
I don’t think any diet has to be for everyone , but it’s become a battle of the influencers on you tube.
What I learned for myself as someone who used to buy into the no red meat , low fat , brown rice , grilled chicken , fruits and veggies etc … was my blood work did not back up that it was heart healthy for me , the ratios that are most indicative of heart health were not good on that low fat diet , they were double what they should have been . I had bad IBS , GERD and felt awful . I began to do low carb and upped my sat fat and it all went away and my blood work became great . I don’t see how a diet that is so bad for you can make your body feel so good and get rid of so many health issues .
As I said above , people on all diets have strokes and heart attacks , carnivores aren’t immune and neither are plant based.
The WOE battles are exhausting , people wanting to blame this diet for this or that .
Basically if people cut out the junk they will be better off no matter what else they eat . People should eat what is working best for their body reflected in blood work and how they feel . I do still trust many of the people like Dr Berry who have many studies of his own about heart health and meat. I do love veggies and eat them as well. Glad you are doing so well .
@@FiftyPlusBeauty Likewise, there are no valid studies that naturally occurring fat found in meat causes heart disease either. Transfats are the bad fats and those are artificially created. Wishing you the best!
Thank you for sharing this information, Beth. Early last year I had a lumpectomy due to abnormal cells in one of my breasts. My situation caused me concern that I would have a repeat event. Like you, I threw myself into research which lead me to a WFPB diet, as well. Much of the early info I found was from the same sources you’ve named. I (along with my husband out of support) switched to a WFPB diet. Our cholesterol and blood pressure numbers have improved greatly. It’s an adjustment and learning curve for sure, but am so glad we switched to WFPB. So many great sources for recipes, it just takes an open mind to try new habits in the kitchen.
I am so glad to hear you were doing so well! It is amazing about the plant-based diet. It reverses heart disease, and it is also proven to reduce the risk of cancer. Personally, I believe it can reverse even reverse cancer. I am so glad everything is improving for you.
I never understood how eating all meat and saturated fats could be healthy.
Humans have evolved over 2 - 3 million years to hunt and eat meat. Our bodies are acclimated to it. We need protein and fat to survive. We are not evolved to eat plans. Our bodies have zero need for plants, carbs, or fiber. We MUST have protein and fat. The reason you think meat and fat are unhealthy is because scientists and media have been paid by corporate food interests to lie to us for the past 80 years or so for profit.
it isnt. Carnivore community is a cult.
I didn't either til I tried it! No going back for me feel better at 70 than did in my 40s
It can't be healthy. That's why there are not studies showing such a diet is healthy, only anecdotes on the internet.
Thanks Beth for sharing. Please keep us updated on your progress. God bless.
Thank you, I will
@@FiftyPlusBeauty REMEMBER to listen and watch Dr Ted Broer CEO of Healthmasters podcast about true health. We love their products and healthy lifestyle
This ia wonderful Beth! Thanks so much for sharing with us. I am very interested in your new healthy eating habits. Please continue to share the information. We are all continuing to learn and develop. Bless you!
Bless you too, Susan! Thanks for your very kind words of support. You were just darling by the way! My mother‘s name is Courtney, too!
Bravo to you Beth! Please keep us posted on your health journey. You are indeed an inspiration and I’m certain that documenting your experience is going to help many others who are open to hearing it. Many blessings to you and your husband!
God bless you too, Patricia! Thanks so much for your very sweet comment.
Hi Beth!! I appreciate all you are trying to share and I would love it if you continued. We are all learning through trial and errors what is best for us so we can all live our best healthy lives. Everyone is different and we can take and choose what resinates best in our individual situations. Blessings!
Well said
Blessings to you too! I appreciate your support.
Thank you for this awesome video, Beth. Cheers to you for researching which diet to embrace for your heart health. I am VERY interested in following your journey on the Esselstyn plan.
Thank you so much sweetie. I will be posting a video this next Wednesday that is specifically about my first zoom presentation with Dr Esselstyn.
Thank you for sharing. I would love to know more about your journey and I hope you continue to share.
Thank you! Will do!
Super Glad you are still here with us. Love ur videos😊❤❤
You're the best!
Happy New Year Beth! I am very happy to hear you are on a heart-healthy diet! I went on Carnivore to just " test it out" and I had every bad reaction. I lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks but I got sick. Perhaps younger women can handle it but women our age have to be so careful about their kidneys, heart and other organ failure. I became very frightened on the carnivore diet after I became very light-headed and weak on one side of my body. It wasn't a stroke but I felt terrible...weak. My blood work came back very bad. I am turning 69 and from now on I won't play games with my health. I went on a heart-healthy diet before Christmas and my blood work is good and I feel so much better not being on a meat diet! I have self-control and I don't have to eat one type of food to lose weight... especially meat. I hope your videos on this subject helps many women....xxoo Have a great day! xo Susan & Dez PS: Vegetables I really feel keep cancer away.
Hi little poet! Love your channel! I am glad you are now on a good diet that you feel good on and that is healthy for you. I’m glad your bloodwork has improved so much. Mine did too and I feel much better. God bless you!
@@FiftyPlusBeauty You look fantastic...and I know you are younger than me! I hope you didn't take offense! xo
I love Susan and Dezi too! She has a great channel! Hi Susan!
Yes, please share more. I eat plant based and I am always interested in what others are incorporating. ~Take Care!
You got it!
Beth, Thanks for the info. Love your share. Yes, I would love to hear about your experience after Friday. I was introduced to macrobiotic diet in the late eighties. Was the best I ever felt(felt like Wonder Woman) unfortunately lost touch with that community due to relocation. Keep up the good work and research.
Wonderful!
I’ll be interested to see how this works out for you and your husband. Those meals you showed would send my blood sugar off the charts and I am only pre-diabetic. You might want to consider wearing a blood glucose monitor or CGM while doing this to see what it does to your blood sugar.
Yes, I will be looking into my blood sugar too.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty That clot took decades to form. Crazy you think a few months of off and on diet would be the culprit. Good luck out there.
Wonder if new sponsors play a role?
So happy to hear you’re doing this, Beth! I been so concerned when I’d heard you weren’t stopping Carnivore before! I’m struggling with my LDL going up, myself, and have been trying to cut down saturated fat, as I’m already plant-based. I’m looking forward to hearing more about this new diet of yours!
Thanks so much for your nice comment and good luck on your plant-based Whole Foods journey. This Wednesday, I am posting a video that shows you more in depth information on Dr. Esselen’s program. It’s really very good.
I heard glycine makes it go down fast!
If you’re eating plant based and your cholesterol is going up, could be peri-menopause if you’re in the age group. Doesn’t hurt to research it.
I thought it was that hole in the heart that caused the stroke. That’s a cause in SO many people
I thought it was the hole in her heart too.
Jewel Pearson, tiny house 🏘️ owner, said she has a hole in her heart and it caused the stroke,
Correlation between the clot shot ---holes in the heart ---strokes. I wish Beth the best.
@@deniseparker1088 well stated
Unfortunately, I had a subsequent test that showed the hole in my heart was too tiny to have really caused the issue. Darn!
Thank you for sharing your story!!! Please keep sharing!! 😊
Will do!!
You literally can not live without fat and protein. I've been Keto for 5 and half years now. I lost over 130 pounds and feel amazing at 51. I certainly do pray you find what works best for you. Sending prayers and love ❤️
@@loverofsong9830 I hope it works out for her.
There are also plant-based fats available (avocado, olives, beans, nuts).
Love and prayers to you too, Stephanie! I am glad you found something that is working for you.

Congratulations on your lifestyle change! I hope it optimizes your health and provides you lifelong protection from future strokes. I went whole-food, plant-based in April 2023, and it really helped with my blood lipids. My total cholesterol is 120; HDL (good) cholesterol is 61; and my LDL (bad) cholesterol is 39. I am not on any medications. My husband reversed type 2 diabetes on this high-carb, low-fat eating plan, and we both lost 25 pounds. I think you are in great hands with Dr. Esselstyn, and I can't wait to hear about your new explorations in better health.
Linda, thanks for sharing that and I am so jealous of all your wonderful health numbers! Great job and kudos to both of you!
Wonderful that you're doing better after that terrible scare. Please tell us more about your new way of eating. Thank you for sharing the links to where we can go to learn more about heart disease. I've been doing Keto for 4 years and I'm starting to wonder if I should get off.
Hi Janice. Everyone has their own path, but for me since I had the stroke, I really had to examine the real research to find out what diet could actually reverse heart disease. I wish the carnivore people would do some research in that area but so far plant-based seems to actually be able to to reverse heart disease, so I had to go with that.
This was excellent thank you, Beth I needed to hear this. I look forward to all of your future videos, telling us what you’re doing.
You are so welcome!
Thank goodness you are alive and thank you for this video. It scares me that so many people are listening to CZcams gurus and not their own doctors. Thank you for this very important message!
You’re so welcome!!
Glad to see that you are feeling well and eating healthy vibrant foods. Speaking strictly for myself, I could not eat such heavy amounts of meat. - it leaves me feeling sluggish and sometimes nauseated. I prefer the texture, color taste and buoyant feeling that the Mediterranean diet provides. Wishing you and Alan a healthy journey!🩵💛
Thanks so much!!!!!
Greetings Beth! Yes, please document your progress and what you are doing to stay healthy. I'm happy that you will be able to take the course! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Thanks Jean!!
Very interesting and informative, can’t wait to see more!
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for sharing this with us. I want to follow along with you as I always worry about heart disease.
Thanks!
my friend was on healthy plant-based got a massive stroke and know cant move i think where is somthing more just diet
Not a real plant based diet and not even remotely possible. I find so many are completely lost when it comes to nutrition and have no clue what a whole food plant based diet is. ALways comparing processed crap with whole foods like beans and potatoes. The protein narrative has people stumped and confused. It is designed this way by one of the top 3 most powerful industries on the planet!
Obviously it wasn’t the meat. She’s was taking something else or vaccine.
Stress can also cause a stroke and a heart attack.
Carnism and denial are synonymous @@rosetulip1231
Do you know how your friends fiber intake was?
I’m so glad you’re doing this
Me too, Annette. Thanks for your comment.
Hey Beth! Your video is so courageous! I've been following you for years! Such a sweet , kind and well meaning person you are! I'm so sorry that you are struggling with bad information. I too, in the month of August 2023 had a health scare that I thought was a stroke. I spent 3 days in the hospital with multiple tests but after initial MRI's w/ & w/o contrast, carotid Doppler, echocardiogram, MRI of the spine, ECG x 2, and a follow- up MRI W & w/o contrast meeting with 2 neurologists, 2 cardiologists, and it turned out not to be a stroke at all. I did learn during all of those MRI's that I had an old right thalamic infarct from approximately 10 or so years ago ( a silent stroke). I'm 61 years old and I'm pretty good metabolic and vascular health. I've been on the Keto// Keto/ carnivore diet for approx. 5 years. I fast approximately 18 hours a day and have done so for the last 5 years, practice yoga, pilates, HIIT, and walk my dogs each night. Please keep close watch over your fasting insulin, A1C, lipids mostly your HDL to triglycerides ratio, NMR lipid particle size panel, high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, homocysteine. Consider getting a CGM, continuous glucose monitor, so that you can learn which foods cause you insulin to spike throughout the day. Even if you just get one for a month it will give you great insight into what effects you individually from a metabolic standpoint. I have actual printed out studies and brought them to my cardiologist and neurologist so they can see with their own eyes saturated fat and cholesterol are not the enemy we once believed but rather that we are metabolically sick. Unfortunately, dr.s are so busy and overwhelmed and overworked in our current "sick care" system that they have very little time to learn of the studies showing the connection between diabetis/ prediabetic and so so many of the illness including cancers, stroke, heart disease, insulin resistance, and preventative medicine. They, for the past, in my experience, are working from what they were taught from studies that were sponsored by big pharma and big food so clearly these studies show bias findings. I have a list of MD.s that do have actual studies about the carnivore and Keto/carnivore diets and how they help the brain. Stroke/ heart disease, Alzheimers, are just some of the classic metabolic diseases that are addressed by Dr Ken Berry (he follows (he discusses studies frequently) yes but there are so many more experts in this field: Dr Chris Palmer (Director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education at McLean Hospital and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School), Dr Mark Hyman from the Cleveland Clinic (functional medicine), Dr Anthony Chaffee (neurosurgeon),
Dr Eric Westman (functional medicine/ an Associate Professor of Medicine at Duke University, Dr. Pradip Jamnadas, MD, MBBS, FACC, FSCAI, FCCP, FACP The founder and Chief Medical Officer of Cardiovascular Interventions, Orlando FL., Dr. Rob Lustig (Bachelor’s in Science from MIT, a Doctorate in Medicine from Cornell University. Medical College,), Dr. Phillip Ovadia, a practicing heart surgeon, graduated from the accelerated Pre-Med/Med program at the Penn State & Jefferson Medical College & Cardiothoracic Surgery at Tufts- New England Medical School, Dr Bret Scher cardiologist graduated from MAYO CLINIC in 2005. He also is the host of Diet Doctor which is a great source of education, Dr Ford Brewer Founder of PrevMed Heart Attack & Stroke Prevention and formerly trained and later professor at Johns Hopkins. Neither Cholesterol nor are animal sourced healthy fats or plant based fats (other than highly processed seed oils) are not the driver of stroke and heart disease. I'd hate to see you, seeing what you have already been through, head down a path of extremes. I look forward to more and more beauty tips from such a lovely lady, inside and out!
Thanks for all the great information and I am glad you are figuring out the best course. I know that an all plant-based diet sounds extreme, but so is getting worse heart disease, and having stents part bypasses, etc. Thank you so much for your comments again. I appreciate it.
Frugal Prepper also had a stroke on Carnivore recently and has changed his diet. Check out his channel.
@@efsmiley, what a beautiful post and SO informative also. There’s no doubt there are a LOT of very educated people advocating for animal fats. 🎉 Thank you for sharing all of that! ❤ BTW, you are gorgeous!!
At least you are open to possibilities. I appreciate all you’ve shared on your health journey.
I would hope that you will share what you are learning and applying to your health. Thank you and I am so happy you are ok after the stroke.❤
Thank you so much Pamela. I really appreciate your kind words of support.
Hi Beth.. I'd appreciate it a lot if you shared more about what you're doing to stay healthy. I've been searching for Mediterranean recipes to make in my crock pot because it is supposed to be a healthy way of eating. But I haven't done much research on it. It is good to see you doing well. 💖
Thank you so much, Debbie. The Mediterranean diet is proven to be healthier than the SAD diet because it is lower meat.
Look up videos with Sally Norton, and you’ll never eat another vegetable again. Fruits, I believe are healthy with lots of nutrition, and not nearly as many plant defenses like oxalates and lectins, etc. I was constantly in and out of the hospital with kidney stones when I was a vegetarian, and then a vegan. it was directly caused by the high amounts of spinach and kale and my joints were hurting so bad I could barely walk not to mention I was obese. Once I stopped eating plants and went carnivore I lost almost 70 pounds and was able to get off all my medication, and that’s because I stopped eating the foods that were causing my body to be inflamed and the plant food in my opinion is so bad for the human digestive system.
I would be curious to hear how the whole food based diet affects your IBS. I'm so happy you recovered so well. I totally understand your research foe better health. ❤
My IBS is not quite as good as it was on the carnivore diet, but it is improving. It tends to remove anything that could give your G.I. system a problem.
Yes, please share you results and your lab comparisons. I continue to eat Mediterranean with good results but am always open to learning what other ladies eat to maintain/improve health. Thanks for all the great information you offer in your videos.
Thanks so much Barbara. I really appreciate that.
Thank you for your frankness, and for keeping us updated. May God let you remain in excellent health!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your nice comment.
I totally disagree with your take on what causes heart disease but I wish you the best. Do what you feel is best.
Thanks.
Same here
Congratulations Beth. I have been on a whole food plant based diet for at least 5 years. Also following the advice of the Dr.s you mentioned and several others. I believe you and your husband are on the right track . I wish you good health and well-being. You are doing much to help spread the good news about food and diet. Thank you!
Thanks so much Robin and congratulations. I really think you were on the healthiest path!
So happy you have found the WFPB diet!! I've been eating that way for 14 years and am 64 years old and absolutely LOVE it! Love all the plant-based docs! The research doesn't lie!! Plants for the win!! :)
That is awesome! I totally agree with you!
Beth, thank you so much for the video. I appreciate every time that you share your own personal health journey. I tried to follow a low fat WFPB diet for 10 years, on & off, often off. My biggest struggle was the food. It usually tasted unpalatable to me. You spur me on to look back over my recipes and see if I can’t find some that I really enjoy. Yes, I definitely look forward to hearing about Dr E’s course, thank you.
@@Melody, Dr. Fuhrman has amazing recipes-especially salad dressings. I used to make a walnut based salad dressing-sooo good!!
The Rouxbe Plant Based Cooking Class has amazing recipes also. And there are so many great WFPB cooking books. Soooo many fun things to make.
I miss some of it now that I’m mostly carnivore, but I also love how simple my meals are now!
Thank you so much Melody. At first, the Whole Foods plant-based approach is rather difficult because it does taste a bit bland. If you stick with it though after a month or so, you will find that your taste buds really do change. I truly enjoy the foods. I am eating now. Rice and beans, a whole lot of vegetables and salsa is a really good easy dinner.
Heathveganeat have good recipes to
I think it’s getting ridiculously hard to know exactly what diet to follow anymore.
Right because the food sold at the market are mostly covered in pesticides and preservatives I think its hard to eat sell fake oraganic food
This is why anecdotal evidence is the lowest source of data and youtube is not the place to make decisions regarding diet and health. That is also why experts exist who study this for their whole life. But people think they are smarter than them by watching youtube. "I watched Dr. Ken Berry" syndrome
I watched vegan gains syndrome
@@dweeder1453 if you collect 50 thousand ppl on carnivore showing what they eat , their bloods, how they feel how is that not data? same goes for vegans youtube videos showing bloods, what they eat... its all data, alot more useful than any other data in my eyes.
@@dweeder1453 So you refer to the USDA food pyramid for you diet choices?
I’m so glad you are off the carnivore diet. I was very worried about you but felt I shouldn’t interfere with advice. I was praying so God would direct your path and He obviously did.
God directed my path away from WFPB after many years. After the flood, God gave us meat to eat, and he brought the Israelites to a land of _milk_ and honey. I’m now mostly carnivore and am slowly seeing improvements. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, Cindy. I truly think God allowed me to survive the stroke so I could share this information with others. The carnivore diet is really very dangerous. You’re one smart cookie!
@@FiftyPlusBeauty Beth, it is 4/8/24 and I must tell you, you’ve been on my mind for SO long as I haven’t seen any recent videos of you. I included you in my daily prayers for the past month. Wish I knew how to private message you but this will have to do. Rest, don’t be anxious, and know God is with you.
I am so excited to see your journey because that is what I do. I love your beauty segments.
Thank you so much!
Thank you Beth for your honesty ! Many people would not talk about how they built something up only to find out it was not the right thing to do for them, and changed their ways ! I prefer to listen to you because you really did your research ! I have also done my own research and agree with a plant based diet as well. I would LOVE it if you shared what your meals are like ie: Breakfast, lunch and dinner ! Cheers and thank you again for all your information !
You are so welcome! Yes, I will be making a wet. I eat in a day video soon!
God bless you for all that you share with us here on your channel. You were doing everything your thought was healthy/right, and still had a stroke. As upsetting as that is, it's important for all of us to know. My instincts tell me that a protein-only diet isn't the way to go. First, I'd miss the color on my plate and my tastebuds, but more importantly, 'everything in moderation' seems to always hold true, especially when it comes to our way of eating. I've done significant studying on healthy lifestyles, longevity, etc, and I would caution you to not go too far on the plant-based/low fat approach either. There are two risks with that approach: 1. The body needs the full range of amino acids, and plants-only don't provide all 9 essential amino acids; 2. The body needs cholesterol, especially the brain. It is critical to many functions, especially in older adults. Moderation is the answer - some meat, lots of veggies, and healthy fats, lots of exercise, manage your stress and find joy in every moment you can. Best of luck on your health journey!
Very well stated!
So true. Especially anyone over 55 on a veg/vegan diet is at risk - our bodies' ability to absorb protein is diminished significantly, which impacts our muscles, joints, skin, hair, etc. It always amazes me how truly wise people from 'back in the day' were - eating iwell-balanced meals n moderation, taking walks after meals, the list goes on - and no Google, no YT. How did they know??? By listening to their bodies, it seems.@@shirlebryant9427
You are full of misinformation. Beth discussed about a year ago with Dr. Berry how her in- laws always ate everything in moderation and ended up with many diseases and so many meds that they didn’t know the names of them. She and Dr. Berry discussed at the time that was not the way to go. There are so many people that have lost weight and improved their overall health on Carnivore and keto including reversing cancer!! So many!
Thanks for your great comments. I appreciate you sharing.
Hi Diana. You were so right about that. The more I learned the more I realize moderation is really not the key. The key is avoiding those heart unhealthy foods, like meat and dairy which are proven to cause heart disease.
I was clean vegan for at least 5 years. I was never sicker. It’s interesting how each persons body responds to different things. I’m not currently carnivore, but am definitely animal based and have never felt better. IBS under control, less joint pain, no migraines, enjoying a healthy weight and stronger than I’ve ever been. Carbohydrates, even the healthiest ones, are not my friends in the high amounts usually consumed on a plant based diet. I love watching people on different health journeys. It’s fascinating.
@heidicook2739 I'm very confused and I've done so much research! I've been keto/carnivore for almost a year (following Dr.Berry & Dr. Berg)I've lost over 20lbs(at my ideal weight now)and all inflammation. However, at my last checkup, my cholesterol and LDL levels were quite high.
Heart disease runs in my family so a diet of BBB&E concerns me.
Even with the so called "healthy" carbs I'm concerned about weight gain and inflammation returning.
My PA is on keto and she didn't seem overly concerned.Wants to recheck my blood work in 6 mos.
I can relate! I suffered severe enough arthritis to necessity both hips replaced at 49 and 50 years…then in 2017 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Thank goodness my Oncologist immediately recommended all sugars and carbs be removed from my diet due to their link with cancer. I began as Keto then morphed into Ketovore. I had an unexpected and WELCOME side effect: inflammation and miserable body aches and joint pain nearly immediately subsided. Getting out of bed in the morning is no longer a five minute process of trying to slowly straighten my back and shuffle out of my bedroom. The veggies I love so much, when I consume them, send me back into aches and pains and trigger an awful bout of diverticulitis. I miss my roasted Brussels and salads…but they make me miserable. I do eat avocados daily - and sometimes sugar not added pickle chips…but that is all. I feel as healthy as I did at 35 (I’m 58). I think each individual needs to follow what works best for THEM. I had been suspicious of all the meat because of the cholesterol…but my labs are always great!
@@OkieRed58 Look further into cholesterol research. The cholesterol levels that most Drs subscribe statins for are now changing. They are finding some higher levels are healthier.
@@dkhasel Good to know 👍
@@OkieRed58 While on carnivore, my LDL jumped high. My doc has me on a statin for 180 days till recheck. All of my other blood work is fine. My bp jumped high and I think its b/c of the salt. I was never a saltshaker prior to carnivore so I'm cutting back on that to see if it lowers down. I had a stress test two weeks ago and passed. Heart and arteries are fine. I think once I heal my autoimmune disease, I will slowly add certain veggies. I'm not 100% carnivore. I eat fermented foods like sauerkraut, green pimento stuffed olives and dill pickles. Everyone should get blood work done before and after starting carnivore b/c it will have a bad effect on some of us.
Yes Beth, I'm very interested in your sharinv your WHOLEFOOD PLANT BASED DIET experience!!! I also am following the Diet to cure my Autoimmune Diseases. Thank you for sharing your knowledge as you learn!!!!😊
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing!!
Hey Beth, i just re-subscribed to your channel to follow your journey. Like alot of folks it is so confusing on how and what to eat anymore to be healthy. After watching this i think I'm going to incorporate more plant based foods in my diet. I must applaud you for having the courage to put yourself out there upon changing to a new way of eating because people can be brutal in the comments. Thank you for being open and honest with us because i know your only motivation is to help infotm us and not to sell a book or program. I truly appreciate that as i too, am concerned about heart disease. Cannot wait to learn more and follow your experience. God bless you my friend.
God bless you too, Melissa! I really appreciate you watching my video. Have a great day!
I'm glad you turned to actual research instead of the CZcams uni. It takes guts to make a 180-degree-turn public and I applaud you for it. You may be saving lives doing this. ❤ My LDL is 70 on a plant-based diet. Best of luck to you!
I'm looking forward to seeing all your follow-up videos on your plant based diet and what you find out on Friday. It's amazing how much food can affect our health, both good and bad.
Thanks for your nice comment Nancy. Have a great week!
Its never too late. May you have a long life and that too a happy one . Plants have given us so much and they just keep giving!
Dr. Esselstyn is the best! I am so happy you are going plant based. Your health will greatly improve. I am 57, and I have eaten this way for several years. You will love it!
Thanks for sharing that a plant-based diet is working for you. I appreciate that!
I am so sorry you had that scary and horrible experience. As you point out, everyone is different. My mother had the essentially same stroke, though she never did recover from it. I'm 78 and just started the carnivore diet. I appreciate very much your willingness to share this experience, and I can only hope that the same thing doesn't happen to me - or to anyone else who has come to carnivore for its health benefits. I have heard worse things about plant-based diets than about carnivore, so in the end, it's kind of a crapshoot. I hope that each of us has the courage to see our own best route to health AND to share with others when we think we have made the wrong choice.
Thanks for your comment. I’m so sorry for your mom.
no the EXPERIMENTAL covid shots caused your stroke. Look into this. start wtih Rumble stew peters interviews with Dr Jane Ruby covid shots, whats in the covid shot. also "dr fuellmich grand jury day 1' = shocking vid worth your time.
dont blame your diet. people all over the world have had strokes, heart attacks, major health issues caused by these EXPERIMENTAL covid shots.
dont take flu, rsv or covid etc shots THEY ARE ALL STILL EXPERIMENTAL.
You've never heard of plant based diets causing strokes, CVD, death etc quite the opposite. High plant based diets such as the Mediterranean cause the longest lived populations. The only crapshoot is the carnivore diet
It’s not the carnivore diet that caused her stroke, she has taken vaccines she needs to do her research.. look up Dr Shawn Baker he has been carnivore for 5 or 6 years… he is a true Dr …❤
I am also on WFPB No oil, no dairy, no eggs, etc. of any kind except for avocados, walnuts and real olives, not the oil. Our main meals are vegetable soup, mushroom and onion tacos, eggplant in tomato sauce, sweet potato and red lentil stew, boiled potatoes, beans and rice, big salads. I finely chop broccoli and cauliflower and eat as a salad. My salad dressing is the 321 dressing which is 3 tablespoons of ACV, 2 Tablespoons of Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. I would LOVE to see what happens at the conference. I have benefited SO much from this diet but we do break the diet when we travel or when we have guest over. The great majority of the time we follow it. So happy for you. ❤😊
Awesome news!! Thanks for the great salad dressing and salad. If you would like to email me your pic, I’ll credit you in the video. My email is empowerbeth@gmail.com. Please mention the salad and the dressing recipes so I can put together.
Your journey shows your courage! Thank you for sharing.❤️
You are so welcome
Look forward to hearing about your in depth Esselston course and hope you will continue to include sample diet details.
Have been looking into vegan recipes for our typical winter diet. A cabbage roll with quinoa and lentils sounds interesting. Will need to start w mini recipes!!
Great suggestion!
So glad you are feeling good! I’ve been plant based for over a decade and love it. Thank you for sharing this important information on eating a plant based diet and the health benefits. Look forward to your videos sharing your journey. ❤❤
Congratulations Rosa! You’re a smart woman.
Yes. Please share your new diet. Thank you! 😊
Will do!!
Thank you for the info!!you shared great info
Glad it was helpful!
Beth all the information you can share would be wonderful !
I will share information about my journey all the way. Thanks for asking!
My father recently passed. He was a few months over 97. He took no medication ever and no flu shots, etc. He ate everything, carbs, vegetables, meat, eggs, bread, luncheon meats,and he loved ice cream. His health declined rapidly after his body decided not to eat anymore, which was about a month before his passing. Finding the diet that’s best for us is a journey, as we are all different. Personally, I believe balance and moderation is good to follow. I wish you the best as you begin your new journey. And, thank you for sharing your stroke story. I am sure you have helped many.
Well stated. We are all different! Dr. Oz says everyone is not going to be vegetarian or vegan years ago on his TV 📺 sho
Glad your dad did so well. I appreciate you leaving a comment.
My mom just passed Jan 7 at 99 yrs old. Growing up I never remember her ever going to the doctors for anything not even mammograms colonoscopy. She ate everything. She just quit eating also about month before she passed. I don’t know who to believe anymore. 🤦♀️

@@shirleygriffin7672 WOW!!
Great video. Very happy you are better and changed your diet. I never considered a carnivore diet, and I have watched a few of the carnivore CZcams videos the past couple of weeks. I noticed many people writing that they felt great, but not one of them mentioned food that could help prevent clogged arteries, cancer, a stroke, etc. Just because people feel great doesn't mean the inside of your body is doing well. Vegetables fight against cancers and help prevent strokes. Sugar and processed food also kills.
Excellent comment!
Thank you!!! You’re right!!! Please keep posting
Thank you! Will do!
I appreciate that you share in detail why your diet views have changed and it is truly good food for thought! I have high cholesterol and I've been torn about carnivore diets that I've seen so many have success with. The idea didn't seem right to me, but I couldn't argue the results others were getting. Please keep us posted with new meal ideas and how your journey continues : )
Thanks for sharing!! I will keep sharing. Since I went plant based three months ago my high cholesterol and blood pressure have both resolved leaving me on no medications except a baby aspirin from the stroke.
I tried keto for the longest time. Never had any success. I just went on a whole food plant-based diet today. I took a picture of my first 50/50 plate. Boil potatoes& broccoli with a non cheese cheese sauce. I follow Plantiful Kiki and many other vegans online. There's great recipes. I'm so happy to be able to eat. Carbs again, fruit. This is the way God created us in the garden.❤
Plantiful Kiki is awesome! love he!
Thanks for sharing!!
I tried keto too, like five times. Finally went full carnivore, also One Meal A Day (OMAD) - and all calories consumed before noon, or earlier if possible. I figured out that I'm _SO_ insulin resistant and so forth that I had to get super strict. I'm dropping .75 - 1.5 lbs a day now, I feel great, and I don't plan to be this strict forever, but I've done everything except actual vegan (majorly unhealthy for humans) and never got past the initial 15 lbs of water weight loss. I'm down 25 lbs in 27 days and expect that within the next week or so my weight loss number will be larger than my days on the diet number.
If the plant-based doesn't work for you, try what I'm doing for a month: literally "BBB&E." I've tailored the amounts of each to fit my caloric and macro needs. My one deviation is a protein shake (no milk) with it, so I have protein grams equal to my ideal body weight in pounds. And after 4 weeks of basically those for items for my meal, I'm going nuts tomorrow: A 10-oz chicken breast and half of a double batch (24) of egg salad I made with avocado to take the place of most of the mayo. It will be lower fat but I won't even need the shake for protein. Slight carnivore cheat, still WAY below the 20g of carbs keto allows, rewards my last boring 4 weeks and I'll be back to it the day after.
I've come to this realization: you will have to put up with some discomfort and boredom to reshape your body. It didn't get out of hand overnight - and it does *not* want to do anything but get fat. What I discovered was that even 20g carbs was still enough for my body to be able to avoid changing back from obese to properly healthy, like I was a decade ago. Oh yeah, the same food gets boring, but "food as a treat" probably ought to be just that - a treat, at least while you're performing major renovation and repair.
I’m so glad you kept doing your homework Beth, you are so smart and honestly I can’t say enough how amazed I am at how unselfish you and your husband are to have filmed your whole experience. You are correct, this will benefit lots of people!
Thank you so much! You are very kind.
Hmmmmmm....think that one through.
So happy 🙏to hear that you are on a safer❤eating plan .
Me too!
Love this video and would love to see more like this and after your program with Dr. Esselstyn, he is very knowledgeable! Thank you so much for being so open and sharing what you are learning! There are so many opinions, please don’t get discouraged as some of us are very interested!! Thanks and God bless sweet friend!🙏🌹
Glad you enjoyed it! I really appreciate your very kind comments. God bless you too!
A few months back I ended up in the ER with stroke-level high blood pressure and just generally not feeling well -- all after several months of eating primarily carnivore. It scared me so badly that I committed to a primarily whole food plant-based diet after that and everything has since returned to normal. I will say that I do still eat seafood about once per week or so (usually a healthy cut of fish) and my body seems to respond really well to eating this way. I find it's sustainable, healthy and satiating. I look forward to hearing more about your journey as you move toward a heart-healthy WFPBD!
Thank you so much for sharing that and I am so glad everything turned out well.
I think you should be on the diet that makes you feel your best, regardless of what other people say about it. But I also think you should know that it's impossible that a diet you were on for a couple of years, let alone a few months, causes a stroke. None of us are genetically identical, of course, so you should adapt your diet according to how you feel on it. Seafood seems to be the healthiest type of food there is, save for some heavy metal risk in certain types of it. It can also provide the zinc that you won't get on a pure vegan diet.
I’d love to see more!!
Will do!!
Hi Beth, I'm just now catching up on your videos. I'm very interested in your 2024 health journey. While I don't follow any prescribed diet, I'm sure I will pick up some great tips from you. Thank you for all the research you do and for sharing your thoughts with us.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that!
Thank you! You need to stick to what works best for you. Clearly you research things thoroughly. I’m Ketovore at the recommendation of my Oncologist. He keeps close tabs on my lab tests and they are far better than they were in the past. I think each individuals body reacts differently to the things they eat and they need to listen to those “triggers” and do what is best for them. You are lovely and amazing at how quickly you have bounced back from the stroke. Thank you for all you do!
Thanks for sharing!
That's wonderful I am a new Vegan myself and LOVE it!!! So much healthier now and lost 45lb!
Great job! I am so happy for you!
I'm Keto/Carnivore & I'm not convinced it caused your stroke...but I'm staying tuned to your videos & your journey. I wish you Health and Happiness & I will continue to learn from you and everyone.❤
Well stated
You really should watch the video she's watching! There is medical, scientific PROOF that eating meat and dairy causes most of your ailements.
Yes I'm not convinced either...we only know a small bit of everything she does, food, drink, medications, supplements....did not know she was on HRT....interesting as well....I wish her the best but I'm always leary as I am with any influencer as comments, views and likes generate 💰
@@Erinkenny0722 good morning and thanks for the feedback on her. No HRT for me ever. Suzanne somers did the HRT, plus she had neck surgery from a fall. Stay safe and healthy......... headed to the gym
Thanks so much for your comment. Glad to have you here with me.
So good to see that you are getting help to reverse your stroke risk through a low fat WFPB diet. Heard about your story from Mic the Vegan :) I wish you a great recovery and would love to see a follow up showing your results after the new diet.
Yes, would love to see your progress
Beth, thank you so much for making this information available!!! You are helping so many people including me! Love you!!!
You are so welcome!
That's a relief. The carnivore diet is too extreme to be healthy, so I'm glad you have changed. But I'm wondering - how is your IBS on the whole foods diet? That was a driving factor towards carnivore, I remember. The pizza looked delish! Thanks for the information. Very helpful, and we're looking forward to hearing more about it.
Hi Cynthia . Always great to hear from you! Yes, the carnivore diet did help me in terms of my IBS and I will be making a video soon on exactly why the carnivore diet does benefit the G.I. tract in that way. I was very surprised by the reason. My IBS is not as bad as it used to be before carnivore, but it is still an issue. I will explain everything in that video.
Thanks Beth loved video. Please ask doctor about where to get protein from now ❤
Thanks for your comment. I have recently been doing some research on protein, and I will present the information I learned from that in the future video.
Yes please. More videos on the changes you are implementing.
Will do!
The problem is that you have medical doctors on BOTH sides of the issue saying very different things. They all cite studies to back up their claims. I believe the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
Well no. The medical doctors that are proponents of carnivore or keto do NOT have long term data on humans. Only short term (12 months). Thats not the same as decades of data (adventist study) on human health outcomes. There is a difference between studies and studies.
@@lindarkruse9301 correct, the people the carnivore community promotes people like the maasai and inuit and they have poor health/heart disease and they never mentioned that in there videos! I lost 100 lbs on carnivore but it doesn't mean its the right thing. Eating only meat cant be good long term.
My co worker in his 40s "healthy " diet had stroke a year or so after 💉 the maintenance man also had a blood clot in his leg standard diet also 💉🤷♀️
My 40 years old niece triple vaccinated still in a wheelchair. Let’s don’t forget all the youth dying 💉 the saddest part you can’t even trust many doctors… they will stand with experimental 💉.
True. SAD is very high meat and Americans have some of the highest rates of heart disease in the world.
I definitely believe that is what happened to her. She has the look that they all have who got it. The propaganda and the brainwashing though has been immense so she likely will believe it’s carnivore even though prior to the technology of refrigeration humans a predominantly meat. They hunted and ate meat and sometimes went days without being able to eat and in cooler climates where vegetables were not available people ate meat and look how healthy our ancestors were eating bacon and eggs and milk fresh off the farm. Prior to the food pyramid being created and the falsity associated with it, there was almost 0 obesity prior to the pyramid. Yet look at the surge since the food pyramid was implemented. Look how obesity crept in five years after the first food pyramid. There is a huge paper trail of proof to support all of this. It is not the meat, but rather the high consumption of sugar and cookies and ice cream and soda drinks and high carbohydrates found in fruit juices and chips like Doritos and pastas and let’s not forget alcohol consumption that are creating these issues, not the meat.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty nice cope 😂
Yup
oh my gosh thank goodness. I saw your video after your stroke and hoped you would come to your senses before something worse happened. Dr. Esselstyn is wonderful and will not steer you wrong.
I think it’s fantastic you’re taking your health into your own hands and sharing your experience. I’m low carb. I’ve heard stories about damage to kidneys and i’ll be honest it does worry me. I just feel so great. I could never do carnivore though because no one can convince me all meat is good and nothing else. There’s always a diet fad and weeding them out is so tricky. Anyway please keep sharing and I’m glad you’re okay ❤.
I am so happy you decided to make that change! I have been managing multiple sclerosis with a whole foods plant based diet since 2014 and have been stable ever since. As opposed to many relapses before on a standard Dutch diet (slightly better than the SAD) and with medication! If you need tips, tricks or recipes, please ask ♥️
I have been a vegetarian my whole adult life, but after a eliminating dairy and cutting back on fats I was able to go off of thyroid medication after almost a decade on it. That was five years ago. No more IBS or joint pain since the change either. I am in my late 50s and I feel better than I did in my 30s and 40s.
Awesome.... Been vegan over 15 years and I am so happy and disease free!!
if you took the clot shot it is not the food all pharma products are rat poison
Try a carnivore diet for just 1 month and compare how you feel to a SAD diet. In one month you ought to notice some difference if it's really clean, like a LION diet, with your MS. I hope so. For MS you need lots of saturated fat since that is our nerves covering. Like a wire's insulation that won't function when that insulation is breaking and crumbling. The best to you and sending you healing vibes. 💓I want to also include, omit all vegetable oils no matter what else you decide to do.They are toxic from the production they go through.
@@Gesundheit888 unfortunately this is exactly what people with MS do not need! Research has proven a long time ago and repeatedly that a low fat diet is the best for MS. If you had read my comment you would have seen that my low fat whole foods plant based diet is working perfectly!
*To avoid a stroke on WFBP, it’s a good idea to at least get **_some_** cholesterol, from animal fats,* because it’s protective in case you get too much sodium (salt). Too much sodium without cholesterol can cause a stroke. Joel Fuhrman has good info on this. Back when I was WFPB (over 16 years), he was my favorite. ❤
Thank you.
I'm an internist/geriatrician and I watched with dismay shortly after your stroke when you announced that you were sticking with the carnivore diet. Thank you for continuing to learn more. Thank you for the video here explaining your new changes. I wish you good health and happiness.
I don't think there is explanation needed for "my fat intake is higher than they'd like." You've made a giant change in your eating style; it takes time to learn new ways of doing things. I think you will be able to bring your fat consumption down over time as you figure out changes to your menus. I hope the Esselstyn course helps you achieve all your new goals!
Thank you so much for your very kind comments. Yes, I seem to be learning as I go here. Some thing about a stroke is very motivating. I have to admit. I really do appreciate all of your kind words of support. Take care and many blessings to you.
So glad for you! 🍌🍉🍒🫛🍠🫑
I am so glad too! I appreciate you making a comment.
Hi Beth. In a previous video you said the doctors found a “hole” in your heart that likely contributed to the stroke. The birth defect is either a patent ductus or septal defect. This is a known higher risk for stroke, though usually unknown until the stroke occurs. My friend had the same presentation as you did, was diagnosed with adult PDA and will be on anticoagulants for life. Your choice of diet is your own, but my opinion is the defect had a greater role than diet.
I feel the greatest impact of your experience is your supreme efforts to educate regarding signs of stroke. No telling how many people will be saved by your contribution.
Respectfully, Robin
Hi Robin. Initially, they did think that I had a hole in my heart. However, they did a more in-depth test and found out the whole was way too tiny to cause any problems at all. Darn!
@@FiftyPlusBeauty Well, that is a blessing. Hopefully you don’t have to be on anticoagulants.
I've been whole foods plant based for 30+ years now with a brief foray into meat based Keto a few years ago, which worked at first but then didn't, and this year I'm back working towards a full WFPB diet ... I feel amazing and I'm already dropping some weight. Kudos to you for continuing your research and doing a deeper dive! I'm so happy for you that you have found WFPB as a way to build your health back!! There really are MASSIVE amounts of studies, books, research, stats, evidence and prominent WFPB experts that explain the health benefits of WFPB and you will really enjoy it as you discover all the supportive science that is out there to inspire, not to mention the benefits for the environment and for the animals as well. Enjoy your journey and I look forward to hearing how it goes for you!
May I ask (I am not American), when you and Beth say "whole foods plant based", do you then mean vegetarian and no meat or fish at all?
@anniezion
Whole Food Plant Based means no animal products at all. The whole food part is eliminating or using very little processed foods such as oil. You get fats from the whole food such nuts and avocados and not oil which is taken out of a plant. I learned you can water sauté and oil isn’t necessary as I always thought it was. It’s a great way to eat once you get a bit of education on how to prepare food in a different manner than you likely grew up with. It took some time to find my way but I’m so glad I did.
@@gretaeberhardt541 Thanks for yr reply. I was wondering why they do not use the term vegetarian then. How do you get enough protein on this? I used to be a low fat eater, back in the days, no oils or butter in pan and ate mostly greens and rarely meat, but sometimes fish. I wasn't well though, underweight and a hurting body. Now I am on low carb, with more fats, and some things improved (the underweight and not being totally dry in skin) but now instead lower stamina from the lack of carbs.. I guess we have to find our ways of what works for ourselves. I personally have come to the conclusion cutting out something totally isn't the most optimal way (at least on me)but moderation and common sense. We do need fats (the brain) and yes coming from greens and nuts is a really good thing, but the amount needed, can it be covered only from those sources? Anyway, Thanks again for yr reply.🌸
Thanks for your great comment and you were so right! The evidence is really overwhelming and supports the idea that WFPB actually reverses heart disease.
Yes, we mean no meat products at all and also no dairy, no cheese, no milk, no ice cream, etc. We also mean to try to avoid processed foods. That’s why they use the term Whole Food plant-based diet.
Hi Beth, thank you for always giving your honest information, so very many diets do this , don't do that lists goes on & on! I admire you for you always wanting to be more health , and we have to give your husband a shout out for always going along with you... I can't see my hubby giving up his ice cream !! We do pretty good with ground turkey and chicken, veggies and fruits, however the ole sweet tooth bummer, I know loser ! Take Care & stay warm ! Blessings , Paula

Honesty?? She's not telling everyone that she got covid vaccines and she's denying that they were the cause
After my TIA in June my cardiologist suggested the Mediterranean Diet in September. I have lost 10 lbs & I feel great. I haven’t craved sugar, cut out most carbs & red meat. I love Greek foods which suites me fine .
So far my test results are positive.
My Doctor said the best diet is the Mediterranean/ Dash
@@marieleemcgill5011 yes i agree i am italian its my diet a little bit of everything variety is key and plenty of fruit and veg legumes fish and less meat.😃

Love to see more videos on plant based diet!
You got it!
Hi Beth, I'll continue to listen/watch your videos on this topic and look forward to research findings that is presented. It is important to know who or what group FUNDS a research study, which can make a difference on the outcome, IMO. Your comments don't convince me that carnivore way of eating causes heart disease or stroke, but I will gladly listen to all that you present and I will do my best to keep an open mind. Yes, please share your comments after the upcoming course/program. You are always encouraging and I wish you much success on your new plan.
Yes, exactly.... always follow the money.
It's not just a matter of the funding but how the research is conducted, like studies for example where they compare food to unhealthier items to make their food look good.
Thanks so much. I really appreciate everything you shared.
I am so happy you are coming out with the truth!!! I went Keto for a year and had TWO heart attacks. I'm 50 yrs. old!!! I have a great life and hardly any stress. I was shocked!!! My cardiologist has written books on a low fat vegan diet. I have been on it for two yrs. however sometimes I will eat chicken, or turkey it's lean and a small amount once in while. I'm doing the best I can :) Anyways, I feel FANTASTIC!!! I forgot how much energy I had lost on Keto. I also lost 16 pounds that I did not need to lose but I'll take it, lol! Thank you for sharing your truth!!! God Bless you, XO
@Linda, I doubt a year is enough time for a diet to cause a heart attack. What was your diet like before you went keto?
God bless you too, Linda! I am so sorry to hear about your heart attacks but very glad you were moving back towards a more plant-based diet. Sounds like you were truly on the right track.
Very convincing studies about keto show that it increases cardiovascular events and also raises all cause mortality.
I very much hope this will get your heart well Beth and thank you for the message to look at good quality science and at the meta studies, and not only relying on individual influencers and doctors. Looking forward to follow your journey! It would be interesting if you take your blood work now and compare it continually. Wishing you good luck and all the best!
You are so welcome!
Thank goodness you got off the high saturated fat diet! I was worried you would have another stroke. I wish you the best of health in your journey. Fruits and veggies for the win! ❤
Thanks so much for your very nice comment, Nancy! I really appreciate that!
