  • “I can fix your arteries with balloon angioplasty and put a stent in there or I can fix it with broccoli.”
    Those are the words of Dr. Ted Barnett who calls himself the “High-Tech Doctor With Low-Tech Solutions.”
    Carving out a career has been a delicate walk for Dr. Barnett who practices as an interventional radiologist but would much prefer to treat patients with affordable fruits and vegetables rather than expensive and invasive procedures.
    While the former still pays the bills, Dr. Barnett and his wife volunteer their time at the Rochester Lifestyle Medicine Institute, which he co-founded. It is there that he is able to write prescriptions for produce that are often more effective than the medicines patients were previously prescribed.
    One of the newer methods of treatment offered by Dr. Barnett is a 15-day intervention to address the root cause of potentially life-threatening chronic illnesses. The courses are now being offered on a global level.
    He sits down with “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to talk about his patients’ success and what he believes the future of health will look like.

    Triglycerides 346 to 145; LDL down 195 to 95 in 10 months. Diligently followed a whole food plant based plan and listened to so many Exam Room episodes for support. (Was a junk food vegan). Thankful. ❤

      so what is your hdl?
      Actual heart risk indicator is TGs/Hdl, (not Ldl) which you would like to be 1.5/1 or even lower would be better. Mine is 0.6/1, but my lcl is twice yours
      Also, Ldl is not "bad" cholesterol. DAMAGED Ldl is bad for you. It is damaged by eating piles of simple carbs and getting little exercise. And that also liwers your Hdl

    Hi Chuck. I cannot eat one nacho, one scoop of ice cream, one cookie ... etc. I can, however, eat a few olives, a few slices of avocado, or ONE handful of nuts or seeds, and then stop. These foods used to incite overindulging, but not anymore. I haven't tried the nachos, or ice cream, but I have no desire to eat them, so I see no need to try them. However, I suspect that they would still be problematic because they have been engineered to cause cravings. Avocados have fat, but they don't also contain salt and sugar. Neither do olives (although they do contain salt, I eat low salt ones), or nuts (I eat only raw nuts, so no roasting or added salt and oil.) Cookies, nachos, and ice cream, however, do have fats, plus salt, and sugars, plus no fiber.

    Great Interview Chuck! Just got my labs a few weeks ago and my doctor (a life style medicine/ vegan doctor) was also very concerned about my LDL of 38 🤔. Doctors always talk about high cholesterol but we need doctors to talk about the people on the low end of the spectrum as well. I don't want to eat saturated fat to bring my cholesterol to a 50. Can someone live healthfully with a cholesterol this low???

      Your brain is made up of 60% fat and the myelin that wraps around your nerves and protects them is also made partially from fat. There are also fat soluble vitamins that your body needs which means you need fat to store them in. Don't be afraid to eat good fats.

    Could you address the subject of oral health, I have noticed since I became plant based that I no longer have any plaque buildup on my teeth. Is it related to not having plaque buildup in your veins from not eating animal products. I was wondering if you or anyone else has experienced this? I also don’t have problems with body odors like I did when I consumed animal products. I’m I crazy or is this really something, let me know,please.

  • @TheJessierb
    @TheJessierb Před 5 měsíci +5

    Thanks for this interview! One thing though- the real pioneers were people who first began eschewing all animal products (some vegans were Jains - a religion in India dating back to first century BCE) and in the west, some began to do this in the early 1800s and in 1944 the UK Vegan Society was formed. While I appreciate the work of all the plant based doctors, they did not invent veganism or plant based diets!

    • @sowmindful1501

      I’d like to say that Dr. Campbell, Dr. Esselstyn, Dr. Mcdougall, and Dr. Goldhamer are pioneers in their own right - Veganism and plant based diets are nothing new - but WFPB SOS-free, heart disease reversing, diabetes reversing, and certain cancers reversing diet, is fairly new.

    • @sachsunil
      @sachsunil Před 5 měsíci +1

      Jains consume dairy (like milk, cheese, yogurt and ghee), so technically they are not Vegan. So much of heart disease and inflammation is caused by consumption of saturated fat.

      Theosophists were among the first western vegans as well. Those people were so brave: they gave up on animal products without knowing what the health effects would be. However, the vegan doctors also deserve a lot of credit.

      Broccoli was a generalization for eating green leafies/cruciferous daily. I ate broccoli today, will eat brussel sprouts or kale tomorrow, spinach the next. These are almost always for most vegans a side dish to other veggies, potatoes, quinoa, rice, etc.
