#DoctorMike #BloodTest #Vegan
My 75 yo mom had high cholesterol her entire life. Doctor gave her:
1) cardio aspirin to avoid cardiac issues,
2) gastroprotector to ease the side effects of the aspirin on her stomac
3) statins to lower her cholesterol
4) cortisone to calm the pain from the statins.
I told her if she didn't go Plant based, she wouldn't have lived enough to play with her grandchildren.
She went 95% plant based 4 months ago:
Her cholesterol dropped.
Doctor removed the statins, then the aspirin with the gastro protector, then the cortisone. Just to share 😊
That's because allopathic medicine has nothing to do with curing illness and disease, and everything to do with symptom management. Good on her for taking things into her own hands.
Wonderful...hooray to all involved.
I’m younger than your Mom, but had similar high cholesterol issue (273). Doctor suggested statins & I could see the trajectory you mention (thanks for sharing!). I went plant based instead, now cholesterol is 176, no meds.!
statins should never be given cause cholesterol is not a problem ever
@@highlander200268 the usual Troll
I switched to a plant based diet overnight after reading the China Study. My cholesterol was 254 mg/dL and I decided to experiment on myself because I didn’t believe what Dr. Campbell wrote in his book. I checked my cholesterol after 3 months on a whole food plan based diet and my cholesterol was 170 mg/dL.
How dare you be so logical and swift.
That’s awesome.
The China Study is nonsense and has been debunked
@@RobertWadlow292
LOL How much are you getting paid to leave lies on Vegan YT channel comment sections?
@@Chill_Jill Nothing at all. I do this public service free of charge because that's what a stand up guy I am and speaks to the integrity I have about helping people with their health
Dr. Mike has a video where he ate a vegan diet for 30 days. He said at the end that it caused him to be super gassy. Considering that he probably increased his fiber consumption quite drastically makes sense as to why that happened for him. At the end, he decided against continuing the diet but perhaps if he had continued, his cholesterol wouldn't be so high now.
I wish Mike here had mentioned that.
I have been vegan almost 20 years. My gastrointestinal tract never adjusted. I get severe gas and bloating all these years later from beans. It's a legitimate concern for a lot of people. I will definitely switch to lab grown meat when it's available, no gas or bloating from that.
@@Fearzero that's dope that you've on this lifestyle for so long. I assume it's just beans if you were able to maintain yourself?
@@RawNoLimits Thanks. The only foods I can eat that don't cause distress as a vegan are rice, greens, pineapple and soaked and dehydrated nuts. Any beans or seitan or grains and my issues get bad.
@lemonshark That's very interesting! I wish I could say the same. My intestines are super sensitive.
I’m so glad you responded to his video. I was surprised when he admitted his cholesterol was high.
@Tronald Dump he was above the range for a heart attack? You good?
It's crazy how vegans won the war on if red meat is healthy. Glad we're having the much needed convo for white meat. Your so right when you said so many people think it's so much healthier when in reality there's little difference.
Are you sure Vegans won? I think Keto and Carnivore diets are becoming increasingly popular.
Vegans didn't win anything. Majority of Super Centenarians are not vegan and neither are any of the bluezones, with the exception of a small population in Loma Linda. Just don't eat processed and ultra processed foods and you'll be fine. Nothing wrong with being vegan either, there's good ethical and some health reasons to turn vegan.
Well vegans didnt "win" its just that the evidence amounted and now its undeniable
@@Mario-forall popular=\=scientific consensus
@@takodanobaba You cant be this biased...like im not vegan but you have to know urself how dishonest the stuff is you just said
Before becoming a whole food, no added fat, vegan, my cholesterol was 258 while on statins. A year later, my cholesterol without statins is 156. I’m hooked. I feel way better and my mobility has increased and allows me to swivel my head and trunk without any stiffness. I am 60 years old and haven’t felt this good since my early 30s.
There is no health reason for anyone to be concerned about cholesterol, or to be on statins.
Very encouraging!
@@aliendroneservices6621 That is misinformation. I was paleo/primal for 14 years and believed and peddled the same misinformation but the people peddling that myth are wrong. And some are funded by the meat and dairy industries. Uffe Ravnskov is a fraud. Incompetent Ex-Dr Shawn Baker is the Cholesterol King. Steroid King, sorry Liver King is a fraud. Paul Saladino, the Constipation King, I mean Carnivore MD, has given up carnivore dieting. Mark Sisson is an expert in nothing except marketing supplements.
Listen to the nutrition professors that have been doing nutrition studies for their entire careers. Not journalists, influencers or medical doctors with only a passing interest in nutrition and an emotional need to rationalise meat consumption. And it is an emotional need, because the ethical and environmental arguments are indisputable, so the only rational reason to cling to meat eating is the erroneous belief that is the healthiest way to eat. That was me for 14 years. Been whole food vegan for 4 months now and feel better than I ever did on the paleo / primal diet. Wish I'd discovered the truth years ago but hey ho.
Getting sponsored by the national Pork Board backfired, eh?
Karma
I wonder if he had to return the money to the pork people...🤔
Did they promise to pay for his unnecessary stent and open heart surgery, I wonder?
@@MichelleVisageOnlyFansAs a Brazilian the phrase "pork people" sound so funny to me! 🤣🤣🤣🤣Here "pork" is used as an insult. 😅Which I think applies perfectly to the people you're talking about!
@@Jesse47249nowadays even animals are not as bad as humans. pigs would be ashamed to associate with such people
Well, gotta give him props for 1. admitting he had a health concern and then actually doing something about it and 2. taking down his red meat promo video even though it was sponsored, probably realizing how irresponsible it was.
I left a scathing and lengthy comment on that red meat promo video of his and, of course, got lambasted by the foaming-at-the-mouth meat addicts: "Bu... bu... bu... but mah MEAT!!! Bu... bu... bu... but mah EGGS!!! Bu... bu... bu... buuuuuuuderrrrrrrrrrr!!!"
Fun times!! 😁👍
"I'm just so happy I don't eat skin anymore" 😂😂
yeah, that line jumped out at me too...and I agree, Mic
BAD idea. Skin contains collagen and glycine which is lacking in modern diets
@Daniel Meyers Not enough
@Daniel Meyers No it does not
@Daniel Meyers exactly! 😎✌ no need to be eating dead animals
Hi my 24 yr old son is a vegan. Don't know Dr. Mike but I never did like eating anything with a face. Time for me to binge watch and learn all the things! I've got the borderline diabetes & high cholesterol. Time to get healthy! ❤
Rooting for you! Hope you're getting better 😁
LOL I forgot about that 50 year old Japanese biker haha that dude was wild.
where was that referenced in this video? thanks
@@veganfortheanimals6994 It was like in the first 10 seconds or so. Somewhere in the intro
@@michaeld4861 gotcha, thanks...at that point of the video, I was brushing my teeth and listening to the video, and not watching it, so I missed it....and I never heard of that story until now...
I’m a 60 years old vegan type 2 diabetic but control it with diet and never taken meds. I just got my blood work done and was concerned since I do indulge in vegan ice cream and other fun stuff with moderation and I don’t monitor my glucose at all. The power of plants has my cholesterol at 110, my A1C at 5.7, good cholesterol well above the average and bad cholesterol well below the average. High blood pressure gone, obesity gone, eyesight back to 20/20. My doctor told me I was the healthiest person he’s seen all week despite me being a diabetic. He thanked me for not having to talk about ailments and got to learn about veganism and the state of the climate crisis. I’m sorry but that guy is a poor excuse of a Doctor and I hope he continues to educate himself for the sake of his patients at least.
Outstanding results! Can I ask how long you have been on a vegan diet?
Great job!
So are you diabetic if you don’t have insulin resistance and you don’t take medicine?
With A1c at 5.7 you are not technically diabetic. Peace, love & health to you.
Could have been a great platform for Danielle to promote a vegan diet.
Could be that was cut out of the video... We don't know!
Whole food plant-based diet*
Her convo was chopped and edited in to Dr. Mike's video, I would assume she wouldn't list dietary cholesterol as the last risk of his top 3. Saturated fat and dietary cholesterol should probably be listed together for CVD risk factors.
Maybe she's just plant based. At least in the video she focuses more on processed foods than animal products.
I agree. For those of us who follow her we know she is plant based but it should always be part of any health journey and she is the guru!
Watching doctors like him making claims about nutrition clearly lets you see the process of how they put their own carnist and outdated biases on diets and health guidelines.
It def reveals their ignorance.
Did you watch his video where he did the vegan diet for 30 days?
@@chelleec23 yeah and he said “da Mediterranean better tho!”
He was so scared to say a vegan diet can be amazing.
Well to be fair doctors are hardly taught about nutrition. They're taught to diagnose symptoms not cure them through diet
this guy has absolutely no nutritional knowledge whatsoever, cholesterol has absolutely nothign to do with heart disease, there is no studies that says it does, if so, show it, simple, he does not, and will not cause it does not exist

1. Cholesterol deniers
2. Uneasy Dr. Mike fans
3. The usual trolls
If my CAC score is 0, I don't care what my cholesterol is.
@@gmnotyet that's great news. How old are you?
Also I heard you should get an angiogram as well because the CAC test doesn't detects soft, non-calcified, lesions.
@@Mario-forall
" CAC test doesn't detects soft, non-calcified, lesions."
Bingo. One could get a CAC and think they are perfectly clean in their arteries but have non-calcified lesions and build up all over the place that then start to calcify and now you are a patient.
@@mjs28s exactly my point. That's why it is better to have both tests and act accordingly instead of blindly taking statins just because high LDL
@@gmnotyet Half the people that die from heart disease have a CAC score of 0. Calcification isn't what causes heart atherosclerotic legions
It's sad and sickening that the vast majority of the world wrongly thinks it's "healthy" and necessary to eat deceased chickens (or other slaughtered animals)...
So true. It is absolutely apalling.
The Bible says to eat meat
Some like myself have a severe reaction to beans. I am vegan but as soon as lab grown chicken is widely available I am switching. I don't get pain, flatulence and bloating from animal proteins.
@@maryjohnson2878 The bible says man has dominion over the other animals which means we should take care of them.
@@Fearzero Have you tried soaking dry beans over night? That in addition to cooking them for a few hours might help. Peas also might be a good alternative.
Im not vegan/vegetarian, and my cholesterol is 126 and LDL is 72. I do eat a lot of plants though. Love beans lol. They probably saving my life.
Haha Dr. Gregor mentions something similar - I think he called it the Latin paradox, but basically the gist was that they are an exception because despite eating meat and fatty foods, their health outcomes are a bit better than US because they consume a lot of beans - literally saving their lives . :D
I know a lot of people who eat really healthy, including meat, and their cholesterol is pretty low. The idea that you have to cut out all meat to be healthy is false. Dr. Fuhrman said 5% of your diet can be meat and you'll still be fine. There's no study that shows you have to be 100% meat free to be healthy and people in the Blue Zones aren't 100% vegan and they live longer than anyone.
gotta get them toxins in like phytic acids, oxlaates, goitrogens, high carbs that we have no need for.. yup lets do that, and void of all fat soluble vitamins which are essential and b12 etc, lets do that..
@@highlander200268 so you just ignore that study proving that legumes increase longevity/survival? Lol, what a loser you are
I eat almost exclusively pork (I swap from pork loin to tenderloin on occasion) and eggs and I've got an HDL ratio under 2 and 79mg/dl.
I wish you would post a video just laying out the detriment to health due to eating different types of animals, specifically fish, chicken, and pork. This is nice, but I can't get my friends and family to watch response videos. I love your videos because you cite sources and science, which is so needed in this argument.
Try the Nutrition Facts channel
Do they care about health? If not, no amount of information will change their mind. I used to focus on health when talking to my family, but I've started talking more about what happens to animals instead. It's hard to convince someone to change behavior based on long term potential effects.
@Lilman Yellow Meat is good for people- nut meats, fruit meat, tomato meat... originally meat referred to all food. Flesh was called flesh.
Great idea
Yes like a basics video series! Talking about each specific animal product and the myths and why they’re bad for us and the planet and the animals

One of the first things I noticed since going vegan was that my cholesterol dropped to a healthy level. When I was vegetarian prior, my triglycerides were abnormally high for someone who, at the time, was only 29 years old. I'm glad to be healthy & living a lifestyle that does not cause the suffering & slaughter of highly sentient beings. Vegan ftw!
You too shall be referred to as Dr. Mic one day, Mic! :)
High triglycerdes come from eating a diet high in carbs, refined carbs in particular.
@@gmnotyet ¬ No, it comes from saturated & trans fats. Carbohydrates are healthy.
Don't fall for the keto nonsense.
@@Corvid_Moon No it does not. High triglyerices come from eating a high carb diet. People on low carb have low triglycerides, high HDL and high LDL.
@@gmnotyet ¬ I like how you pretend to know what my health condition was on my behalf & that I was just completely ignorant along with the doctor who tested me. Educate yourself before you wreck yourself.
@@Corvid_Moon I just told you that high carb leads to high triglycerides. This is a well-known fact.
Thanks for this. I must admit I was letting a little chicken come into my diet. Always great to have a reminder like this.
Glad to have you back on the ethical train. ✌️ Any chicken slaughter video also serves as a great reminder.
Cholesterol is not the Problem until it gets oxidized. There are also a few subtypes of cholesterol which may lead to trouble. Avoid sugar and processed carbs and processed seed oils. They increase the oxidysing of cholesterol.
Eating the packaging LOL! Do you also feel like snacking on those bamboo reusable cups? I do. 15 years of veganism has turned me into a 🐼 😂🙈
🤣🤣🤣🤣
2 months on low fat whole foods plant based diet dropped my triglycerides from 105 to 71, LDL from 132 to 84; and my HDL increased from 49 to 56. Not sure if that actually protects me from heart disease, but it did confirm the high triglycerides are not a concern for me even eating high carbs as long as they’re from good sources.
F yes it will help protect you from heart disease! I just love seeing great results like this. Thank you for posting them James.
Why does Dr. Mike come across as being a clueless goofball when it comes to eating food? He's been on the "let's be healthy" mantra for years, yet, becomes a foot stomping toddler if he can't eat pizza and drink beer with his buddies on the weekend? 🤣🤣
Because he is.
same way he responded to covid regulations
"hey guys im definitely following CDC guidelines, and you should too!! wait, what do you mean i cant hang out with a bunch of people without masks?? guys i promise its different when i do it.... actually, they bullied me into it, i had no choice >:("
"hey guys im definitely someone who i qualified to give nutrition advice, please listen to me! wait, what do you mean i still have high cholesterol despite being "in shape"?? no wait guys, dont unsub, i promise i give great nutritional advice!!! please continue to follow the advice i gave that got me into this situation to start with!"
human nature. easier to tell others how to do what's best for them than to do it yourself. and when you're young you don't view yourself as being at risk. similar to people's feelings on COVID. And I'm sure dr mike exercises, thinks he's healthy, in denial about how bad his dietary habits are.and social and cultural pressures.
That's not very empathetic of you. We're all awkward and imperfect in at least some areas of life. Just because it's easy for you to always choose the right foods (I assume that's how it is by the way you wrote) doesn't mean it's the same for everyone.
@@Kitty-hb3he yeah, we all make mistakes. but its very different when youve been touting your mistakes as good advice, especially when you have "dr." in your name.
people have been criticizing his dietary advice for a long time, theres hundreds of videos about how bad his understanding of nutrition is. but he refused to listen to literally any criticism whatsoever. if you cant take constructive criticism, dont expect people to feel bad for you when you fall on your face. especially when theyve previously given you advice that wouldve prevented the situation.
we also have to remember that he is not a nutritionist. most doctors only have a few hours of training on nutrition, max. so this entire time he has been giving advice he is entirely unqualified to give- that is a massive ethical dilemma.
as a medical professional myself, i can say Dr. Mike is extremely irresponsible at best, and i wouldnt be surprised if views were his main priority for his channel.
I am just a normal vegan dude that did his research, and i feel like i am more qualified than 80% of doctors and health professionals. Like some stuff that they say and do is just dumb.
I’m a vegan with a degree in nutrition... imagine how they make me feel 🤣 still having to tell people soy doesn’t manipulate our hormones
Enjoy your nutrient deficiency…do yourselves a favor look into the link between heart disease and vegetable oils(canola, soy, etc) added sugar(cane sugar, corn syrup)
@@experienceeverything581 a while foods vegan diet removed all oils and all added sugars lol, so nice failed attempt at trying to invalidate this diet.
@@Jeremy-sj3pr went vegan for eight months, started having heart palpitations, watch a speech from a well known vegan, he knew a vegan dropped dead of an heart attack at 40, he looked for a reason why, found omega 3, 6, 9 imbalance to be the cause, could have been prevented by including animal products in everyday diet 🧐
@@experienceeverything581 You have to do the proper research. Going from omnivore to plant based requires that you know what you're doing. A whole foods plant based diet does not include any vegetable oils or processed foods. It's recommended to take an Omega 3 supplement from algae and of course B12. Both do not originate from animals but from soil/algae, so cut out the middleman and let an animal live its life. It's all pretty simple once you know what you're doing. Eating just veggies, fries and oreos ain't gonna cut it.
I think I've seen him in some shorts, but I don't watch him regularly. Great video as always, Mic 💚🌱
I've seem him in some trousers, but don't watch him regularly. 🙂
@@GlennMarshallnz 😂 I meant youtube shorts
Whats the scariest about Dr.Mike's health issues is that HE IS 32 YEARS OLD!
Mic the Vegan seems to think he's 45 lol
I thought this for a second too, then went back and listened again. Mic said the average age was 45, meaning there were a lot of people under 45 and a lot over 45. So that makes sense. Dr Mike def seems 32 lol
Mike the Vegan will have to have Dr. Mike the Vegan on for an interview in a couple years as he goes more and more PB to improve his health.
It's addicting to think, "Oh, I can just eat more beans and whole food veggies and my body gets into great health and feels great?! I'm in!!"
Btw Dr. Mike, there are some great Pizza places here in Vegas with really good Vegan Pizza.
Chickens are awesome.. as friends :) very smart :)
If it hadn't been for a speck of space dust, they'd be eating us instead of the way things are.
@@mikepublic111 speaking hypothetically as yourself, were our evolutionary paths reversed, they might choose to not eat us too, as we can choose to not eat them ^-^
I love chickens as friends too. If you get them as chicks and spend time holding them and loving on them they will bond to you and be very charming and sweet, unless you get a macho mean rooster. They can’t help themselves.
@@sidilicious11 I think you should look into Vine sanctuary. They began with specializing in chickens and in the rescue of roosters, like the ones used in cock fights. You find some interesting things. Patrice Jones, one of the founders has written interesting books and does lectures, as well.
They are very brave as well. Mother hens have been known to cover their children and stay put even in a fire. We know as after a fire we found mothers covering their chicks. They did not survive but their chicks did. Takes alot to stay in place while dying of smoke and fire.
poor guy is at least 10 years behind but he smart and is catching up fast. He might survive after all. Pray for Mikey!
LOL! Nicely put! I love how all these people either are or call themselves Doctors, too! When most of the shit they're spreading is just that,... a shit! LOL!
lol
Mic- Going through some of your older vids in regard to eggs and cholesterol, heart disease, Many of the links to the studies there do not work any more. Maybe an update every now and then, or if you had a site where you have copies of these studies, that people could refer to. Reading studies isn't easy to do, finding the appropriate study is even more challenging. I appreciate those who know how to search and to read through those technical items I have difficulty with.
Oh man, with something like 250+ videos that will be a fun project :D
@@MictheVegan I know...that egg video alone has about 10 studies listed. I was trying to read the study because I am yet in another disagreement with an egg lover, Who flat out, said that cholesterol being bad has been debunked, and that eggs do not give high cholesterol, AND that cholesterol does not cause heart problems...there is no problem with ingested cholesterol, it makes little difference...
yikes.
@@d.rabbitwhite would love another egg video to finally see how "bad" or neutral they are and finally be able to explain why we shouldn't be eating them regardless
@@d.rabbitwhite just find dr. Neal barnard he has a video on here which explains Chrystal clear what eggs do to your cholesterol and mortality
I am a pretty thin person and was vegetarian for 20 years. I had this health assessment done a few years ago and my cholesterol was high, the dr made me go see a dietician. I didn't really stick to the plan and slowly started eating full fat cheese and dairy again. Anyway after realising I could no longer justify 5 seconds of pleasure from eating dairy, knowing it was causing suffering to animals, I went vegan. I have been vegan for 2.5 years now and my cholesterol is normal. The other change I made is counting calories so that I actually know how much I'm eating. Never realised that I was eating 2 to 3 servings of pasta at once. Wild.
In regards to the small progress Dr. Mike talks about, you can’t kid a kidder. He knows full well what he has to do. It’s not easy but if you want to live…..
@@drunkvegangal8089 Exactly. I have gathered all my information 5 years ago, and upon finishing Forks over Knives, Earthliks and Cowspiracy I went to my kitchen, yanked the fridge door wide open and all the animal products (together with sugar, salt and oil from the pantry) flew into the trash can with a vengeance that night! (I needed one extra separate trash bag for the freezer content.) I started the Whole Food Plant Based diet and lifestyle according to Dr. Fuhrman literally overnight and never looked back and never felt better! It definitely can be done, if you get educated, know what you want and if you truly love yourself!
@@MichelleVisageOnlyFans I was the same. Watched FOK, Earthlings, etc... threw out all that stuff and was like "I don't know what exactly I am going to eat, but I know it's never going to be any of that again" and that as they say, was that. 5 years on I have become a killer WFPB-SOS free cook! 🍇🍈🍉🍊🍍🌽🥕🍓🍐 😋
Lowering cholesterol will not make you live longer.
@@missy3240 what were the first few meals you ate? I'm having trouble figuring out what I should eat more of
@@iheartjbgccb I wrote a reply and deleted it by accident 😒 Luckily I already liked fruits & vegetables. At first I keept things super simple:

I freaked out when my numbers reached 190 (no thanks to coconut oil 🥵). 217 is still super high! I was still disappointed when my numbers went down to 170. I wanted my numbers lower. I will find out in the next few weeks where I’m at. But man those numbers were crazy high! I hope the doc cuts down most of his meat consumption or even better try plantbased.
Hi can you please elaborate on coconut oil comment? Ty
Coconut oil raise it like mad same as meat, that might be why
Your numbers are normal or I’d say even too low . My total is 399 . I’m trying to get my numbers down now . Very high saturated fat made my numbers go up .
"Let me know down below what you think about Dr Mike's journey...", you say. Well, please do not ask that of me. I wanna stay civil... LOL!
I was following him a while ago. But then I undsubscribed when they caught him partying with friends on a boat during pandemic lockdown. I was very very disappointed.
@@silvy3199 Yeah, and that was back when one could argue the pandemic was much more serious (even though it's not over yet obvously). I know live and let live and all that, but damn that was not a good look at all and the under-the-table response was even worse.
Right off the bat, he lists red meat last. He listed off fried foods and “unhealthy foods” first. He kinda just looped in red meats at the end.
We truly don’t have a look into his every day life and eating habits, like down to every meal.
I’m confident given the list he laid out his results were not the result of red meats, but highly process foods, fried foods, and other unhealthy foods that he listed in the beginning.
yup. Excess sugar, fried / fast foods, simple carbs (pizza, breads) are the actual enemy. Vegans will do all they can to demonize anything related to animal products every chance they get... A proper diet can certainly include eggs, dairy and quality meat combined with vegetables, some fruits, nuts and high antioxydant containing foods like dark chocolate and tea ;)
Fantastic facts well presented as usual.
not a single fact presented

You are nice and pretty fair with Dr. Mike. I learned a good deal and also I like your positivity and energy and hope it rubs off on me!!!
This is the same doctor that did a what I eat in a day video, promoting his diet as a 'balanced' approach. Yea ok lol.
I eat no fibre on a regular basis. I eat raw meat and raw fat. When I do eat cooked food, I fry it in lard. I eat at least 4 eggs a day. My cholesterol is 2.9
Seed sounds like a good product but what I've learned about probiotics in general leads me to believe they are of questionable value. From what I remember probiotics do not tend to stay in the system very long. Isn't it better just to eat a wide variety of whole plant foods?
Yes, Yes it is! I am of the same opinion! But Mic must make money, too! 😁 So let's leave this to him! Plant based and fermented, while we're at it, and also the greatest variety (local and bio sourced, though) possible. 😊 Peace! ✌🕊
Dr. Will Bulsiewicz GI doc still takes pre/probiotics bc he says he notices a difference. The main thing is that if you aren’t noticing a difference, it’s probably not worth it monetarily.
Love me some kimchi and sauerkrat😋
I have CAD and take 80mgs of Lipitor /day. Before the diagnosis my total cholesterol was 160, HDL 33 and LDL 110. One month on Lipitor and the total cholesterol was 104, HDL 39 and LDL 52. And I always ate red meat, chicken, fish, pork. Everything non-vegan. Even eggs and bee honey and still do.
Lol you say they are around the same age as Dr Mic at 45. He’s 31! Lmaoo
Hey Mike,
I really appreciate you talking about the science of nurtrition. I've learned a lot from you. The study on athlosclerosis incidence and LDL you mentioned though - the N for both of the lowest incidence groups amount to an N of only 11.
I think that is a serious limitation of the study, since there is a strong possibility of the results in these two groups to have been that low by chance.
It would be great if you mentioned that as a limitation of the study and mentioned another one with higher N
Hey, "our" MIKE, have you seen Dr. Mike's video on him doing Vegan for a month (after doing Paleo/Keto for a month)? He struggled. He didn't seem to realise, it takes a few weeks for gut biota to adjust to high fibre.
Will you share this video directly with him? He is young, inexperienced, but kind and impressionable. I would love to see the two of you collaborate, after you and he knock heads and discuss. I have followed you for a while, along with the science for decades. At 53, I'm old enough to be the Dr.'s dad. My bloodwork looks like I'm in my 20s, and that's with me having taken toxic HIV meds for 25 years, and started smoking Feb 2020. P.S. I'm quitting, and will be quit by January, 2022.
I always appreciate your level of detail and evidence based research. CZcams viewers need you to continue your detective work and debunking the more popular but less science based CZcamsrs and bloggers. They continue to promote business as usual, for big corporations. Their tactics mirror the tobacco and oil industries push backs against the scientific consensus.
"average of 45, so probably a lot of people in the study were about the same age as Dr Mike" 🤔 he's 31 lol
Total cholesterol alone is not useful for assessment of cardiovascular risk. We need to know his triglyceride to HDL ratio.
I don't know why Dr Mike has 8M subscribers, I watched him a few times and realised i shouldn't be taking health advice from him. This little situation has proved me right. Nothing against him, but he is very indoctrinated into the kind of medicine i hate. Its nice that he revealed all this tho :D
Which kind? Like the nutrition part?
I lost all respect for him when he had that covid thing tbh
@@pinsandneedles3 why?
Why do hat those kinds of medicines.
"A doctor said something that doesn't conform to my worldview and I realized medicine isn't for me" cool beans bro do you mind signing me up as the beneficiary of your life insurance? Totally unrelated of course
There is no controlled study that shows high LDL is harmful.
There is one that shows that is protective.
What matters is what shows up in an NMR text .. namely ldl particle density.
Eg small dense is bad .
Further you can have low LDL and bad dense particles.
You do want high HDL and lower triglycerides.
EXACTLY! Cholesterol is NOT bad. It is vital... LDL is fine until it becomes oxydized. What causes oxydation? Trans fats and high sugar / refined carb intake ;)
Wasn’t Dr Mike doing the keto thing, or at least flirting with it? That would explain a lot.
he did a whole series where he tried different diets for 30 days each. i wanna say he did keto, gluten free, and maybe another fad diet or 2. i havent really watched much of his videos, but i know he did a "i tried keto for 30 days" video at some point because i watched a response to it, and hes referred back to that series a few times while giving his (very bad) nutrition advice in other videos
Keto and low carb are great for many people and low carb especially are very sustainable with little effort. I have lost 55lbs so far (and have kept it off), I am no longer prediabetic and my blood pressure is back in the normal range. I do eat meat, chicken, fish, plenty of eggs, olive oil,butter, cream, vegatables, nuts and drink mostly tea, coffee and milk. What I have cut out are processed/simple carbs, sugar and fast foods. Those are actually what cause most serious health issues IMO. I do exercise daily as well.
I am vegan but had been partly eating junk vegan. I decided to eliminate all junk vegan food and oil. I eat only whole food plant based. In addition I started exercising 60 minutes a day as I wanted to lose weight. My total LDL is 41. But it is important to have your ApoB checked as it is a better barometer of atherosclerosis. Given that my LDL is low, it is doubtful that I would have an issue.
Wow, LDL of 41. Very impressive, well done! My last LDL was 66 after almost a year of being almost exclusively on a WFPB diet (down from about 110 when I was on a mostly keto diet). Not too shabby either, but sounds like you've been much more consistent about exercising. And I'm still consuming oils, albeit a minimal amount. So these may be the differences, other than possibly genetic factors.
@@HidingFromFate I read that seed oils are the worse to consume. When you eliminate processed foods, oils disappear. The hardest part to acclimate to is the exercise. Regular exercise of 60-90 minutes daily made me appreciate time much more. For me, what I think was a great way to start exercising was via regular stretching. It is an easy way to start to exercise and you can almost do it anywhere and the benefits of extra mobility are almost immediate. I recommend searching for the “The Fuzz Speech” video by Gil Hadley to get an understanding (you may already know this stuff but I didn’t).
*I’ve been eating 95% strict Carnivore for the past 3 years* (and red meat almost daily my entire life) *and my cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and HDL are all in optimal ranges.* My HDL/Trig. ratio and Chol/HDL are both optimal. I cook in organic butter, and beef tallow.
Personally, I have never really liked chicken, but I do have egg yolks (no whites). Especially fast food chicken, obviously regardless of whether you’re carnivore or vegan I think we can agree that fast food is terrible, but I do think chicken fast food is worse than beef in general.
moderation. whole family is euro and we eat meat, sausages, salami etc and no one has high cholestrol. grandmother is 95 and still lives alone and mows the lawn and walks 1km and back to the grocery shops and great grandfather was still working on the farm till his 80s.
Love you Mike!❤️
I had this notion before and switched to chicken and ground turkey before quitting meat. 😊
LOL, been vegan for 10 years and have not eaten meat for over 40, but my cholesterol is still around 210. My doctor says to avoid carbs and take drugs. 😎 Great video Mic.
What percent fat do you eat per day, and how much saturated fat? Drink unfiltered coffee?
Your liver us making your cholesterol. That means it's the right level for you. Peace, love & health to you
Ive been plant based since I was 19. Im 31 now. I had LDL mostly in the 80 range my entire life during that period. Last year I got checked and it was 100 then 113 ldl, couldn't really explain it I hadn't become much less healthier. I also found out I had high LPa so it increases my risk from 40 percent to 2x for a heart attack all time. So, I am now on a low dose statin to bring my LDL below 70 and wait for therapies to lower LPa (phase 3 trials end this and next year so medicine will be available before the end of the decade almost certainly if not quite soon).
Keep in mind I have been an athlete most of this time and now I am an avid runner. Im not perfect but I am well above avg fitness for people in my age group and I am still taking serious precautions to lower my risk as you should too.
Don't be afraid of going on a statin if after many life style changes your LDL isn''t budging. Even being plant based, I went super low sat fat and high fiber (over 50grams a day) and it still didn't budge much. So for many of us its a genetic thing.
Good news is I have no side effects from the statin and the peace of mind I take from being on it while I wait for LPa therapies has done wonders for my mental health.
Don't smoke, don't drink or minimally, be plant based, keep your LDL low through diet and exercise if you can and go on meds if you need to. A penny in prevention is worth 100 bucks in cure.
Also, I take a baby asprin every night and beet root powder for general BP control. Mine is normal but it keeps it in a more optimal range!
Good luck to you all, we have mostly solved heart disease in people. Do your best to lower your risk now.
It's hard to take Dr Mike seriously
This is way more complicated than total cholesterol. Triglycerides and chronic inflammation are more important I think.
If you keep LDL under 70 and don't smoke, arterial plaques simply don't form.
Dr. Mike....the Kardashian of the medical professional community. Those lab test results were probably all fake and made-up just for his Walmart paid sponsorship video.
Dr. Mike @ lunchtime:
Violently shaking a salad in a plastic container 👋🥗👋
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's actually possible. His lab coat he wears in some of his videos has his full Russian name (Mikhail) and his last name, yet the bloodwork shown here says "Michael" and the last name is blurred. Why would he blur his last name and then wear a coat with it on display in his videos? We already know what it is, so it makes no sense to hide it. Either that's not his real name or the bloodwork is the bloodwork of some random dude named Michael.
So basically Mike is doing a video on Mike. Ironic that the non doctor Mike has better dietary advice than the Dr Mike
this person has absolutley no nutritional undrestanding at all, but sure lets take his word with absolutely no evidence, the stuff he does present has no understading of, lets go with that
He’s really good friends with Dr Danielle Belardo, she’s a vegan doctor. I’m sure they will talk!
Please please please do a video on the health effects of caffeine! I would love to see a video based on how it effects your body and adrenal system with evidence from studies and research that you can find!
I like Dr. Mike and Mic the Vegan, so I expect that this will be a great video!
Wow! They're both so diametrically different in what they each believe and practice that your comment sounds like a super trolling attempt. It honestly sounds stupid, too. It's like saying, I like Jews and I also like Hitler. LOL!
It feels weird that mic uses science to back up veganism but then accepts an ad pushing probiotics which haven't been shown to do anything.
My CZcams is:
- Mic the Vegan
- Mike, Dr.
- Michael Greger
- Michael Klaper
- Michael Jackson
- Jacob Ingebrigtsen
that Jacob throws off the list of Mikes
Mic, not to mention that Chicken is very high in Arachidonic Acid, which is a major inflammation contributor :)
Love your videos, including this one. Idea for another video: my birth center sends a nutrition pamphlet home with every pregnant woman recommending the Brewers diet for their health as well as their baby's--but this diet says women should eat over 100 grams of animal based protein A DAY, with no restrictions on processed meat. An acquaintance's birth center just OK'd her to go on a keto diet while pregnant (!) When I told my nurse midwife--in response to her repeated emphasis on dietary protein like eggs--that I focus heavily on beans, fruit, and whole, intact grains as carb sources, she said I should limit them and avoid "high sugar fruits" as all of this can lead to yeast infections.
What is going on in prenatal nutrition and what does the science actually say?
I’m pregnant too and taking my glucose test tomorrow and my obgyn only ever mentions “low carb/keto” when talking about diet. Yah. Prenatal nutrition advice drives me insane.
The World Health Organization (WHO) released a study showing the lower the cholesterol the higher the death rate.
i recently got my cholesterol tested and the TOTAL cholesteral was a bit too high because my good cholesterol was extremely high, the rest was all good. i'm vegan for almost 4 years now, do i eat too many nuts and seeds and stuff? i'm so confused. any advice or explaination?
You probably don't eat enough fibre aim for eighty gram add things like Amla powder lower consumption up consumption of beans broccoli and so on
@@hanssmith8901 sorry i didn't get the last part? you mean i need to eat more beans and broccoli?
when i put my stuff in MFP i eat between 65 and 80+ grams of fiber a day. i don't think my digestion can handle much more to be honest. can you explain? thank you very much!
@Tronald Dump i'll se what i can do, thank you very much! :)
Even eating a fairly decent amount of vegan junk food and plant-based saturated fats, my LDL effortlessly stays below 65 (and I’m 40 with a family history of astronomical cholesterol levels and heart disease, so I’m hoping to break the cycle!)
horrible, you never want low cholesterol, heart disease is cholesterol ... hmm why is heart disease checked by CAC a caclium scan, just curious, cause well there is 0 science that says cholesterol causes it, yet a CAC actually checks for it, doesnt check for cholesterol, checks for calcium, i guess cholesterol magically transforms into calcium, yup that is how it works
I feel better eating my homemade plant based pastrami. No heme iron, cholesterol & hormone😁😁😁
@@CM-ym4is it’s no secret. I simply change the spices for mary’s test kitchen’s beet seitan recipe. You can find her on youtube. I simply swap the spices w/ pastrami spices of mustard, coriander & pepper.
@@ima7333 thank you!
My LDL is 101 and I have no idea why... haven’t eaten meat or dairy in 15 years
do you eat a lot of greens and beans or fake cheeses and processed vegan snakcs, meats or meals?
@@justanotherday5441 I don't eat any processed foods at all
I LOVE SEED! Not just their probiotics but their beautifully done, evidence-based educational materials. Absolutely amazing company!
Mic, thank you as always for such informative videos. I had a blood lab done recently, and with heart disease being rampant in my family I asked to have my cholesterol. The doctor I originally wouldn't test it as I am 31 and "healthy", she ended up going on leave and I asked the covering doctor to do the tests and she did! So, if I did the math right looks like my total Cholesterol is at 144.02 mg/dL and my LDL is 37.07 mg/dL. I am pleasantly surprised. I hadn't really understood my results until this video. I hadn't even really looked much at them once the doctor said they were at a good level. 5 years vegan.
I think a fun video you could do is reading comments on your videos that make health claims and you could go over how each comment is wrong or right. I make this recommendation because I saw a comment quoting your " im so glad I dont eat skin anymore " statement, a comment under that comment stated that skin should be eaten because it has collagen and other things that peoples diets are low in. Which confused me because I know there are plant-based vegan collagen supplements and other supplements that have full spectrum plant-based vegan vitamins minerals and nutrients. So I think making a video on some of these health claims in the comment section would be very helpful. Good video as always Mic! Also, It's so weird to think about how I used to eat other living beings skin 🤮 I'd rather fry up my own arm before doing that again..
Triglycerides cut in half when I went vegan. Now they stay 65-75.
Fatty beef doesn't raise fasting triglycerides.
Fried food... 🤦🏻♂️
Just going to comment for the algorithm. Great video
I think dr. Mike posts a very vegan friendly content unlike some yt MDs and I like his videos.
Shilling for the pork board. Yeah very vegan friendly. He does not fool me.
@@katzensindweich3505
Using your lens on the world then when someone hooked on heroin tells me not to take drugs I should proclaim them to be a hypocrite that shouldn't be listened to. Or, perhaps the person hooked on tobacco - when they tell me not to smoke as they light up another I shouldn't listen to them as they can't have any good advice or information, right? Ignore the obese person that tells you to eat right and exercise because they don't?
Dr Mike has plenty on his channel that is useful for everyone, including vegans. Please note - I didn't say every video and lots of his videos have nothing to do with eating or vegan / non-vegan issues.
Anyhow, where he gets sponsors from doesn't mean that every video and opinion is driven by said sponsorship. He gets plenty of youtube money and he is a practicing doctor so I am pretty sure his income is quite nice.
The world is a better place if you aren't myopic about it.
Oh my, you are really confused, Danijel. He directly promotes meat eating. That is just an exact opposite what any sane person would call "vegan friendly content"! LOL!
@@MichelleVisageOnlyFans unlike 90% of doctors every time he talks about veganism he encourages it. Not every meat eater is a bad person. He doesn’t have to be vegan to be vegan friendly. This is why we irritate people. Because we judge everyone who sympathises with us but is no vegan. We need non vegan friends and Mike is one of them.
He's not an MD!
2:51 Lol, I swear I thought he was going to say "Beans are. . the musical fruit" lolol
How are people STILL so myopic and clueless when it comes to cholesterol!!
Because there's a lot of misinformation and lies out there
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet ¬ I think there should be laws against perpetuating harmful misinformation tbh
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet no but it is common sense!
@@Corvid_Moon how many fines would this channel have?!
@@hayhayhay ¬ Basically zero since Mic cites peer-reviewed research & adheres to the hierarchy of scientific evidence, unlike industry-funded articles & opinion pieces that make the rounds convincing the gullible masses that it's perfectly fine & healthy to commit acts of animal abuse so they don't have to bother changing at all.
I'm enjoying this so much, i'm actually afraid for my karmapoints.
I'm so glad he only listens to doctors who look like young models. No one else could possibly have information on this subject. 🙄
Dr Belardo is a plant-based cardiologist who is an outspoken advocate for this way of eating. She is a great choice to consult with.
Nooooo I’ve seen Seed everywhere, and now I HAVE TO GET IT mike! Hahaha
Hey Mic, always enjoyed your videos. Just wondering, what camera do you film on? Thanks!
The one with lens?
04:13 weird that sugar gets a free pass until alleges that grain-based deserts give more cholesterol than dairy deserts
Mike eating the packaging like Saladino is eating the foods he claims to eat.
265 huh? My husband's LDL alone used to be higher than that 😬
Mike can you do a video on Low Cholesterol? I had blood work come back with really low and my dr just shrugged about it, but I’m wondering if that might be cause for concern and can’t find any info on it since High Cholesterol is usually the issue 😩
I guess it would depend on what is causing your low LDL.
LDL below 70mg/dl is correlated to increased mortality even among young, specially for men.
Low Levels of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Mortality Outcomes in Non-Statin Users
Ki-Chul Sung et al. J Clin Med. 2019.
Good point, Jo. 👍 Same here. I went from 5,2 to 3,7 (European measurement) within 9 months of practicing Whole Food Plant Based diet. With 5 being the borderline number where the high cholesterol starts. Everything below 5 is considered ok, everything above 5 is considered bad with the decision being on the doctor at what point over 5 will they put you on statins. Which my doc didn't intent to do even with my 5,2 levels, which I think she still had considered too low for medication in my case back then. Pheeew. Needles to say I wouldn't have popped any statins inside me daily, anyway. No ma'am! I must say I am quite happy with my 3,7 level of overall cholly.
Low cholesterol just means you won't be able to fight infections as much since LDL plays a significant role in fighting infections
No big deal. THey don't hardly ever see it in America because people are destroying their arteries with a standard American diet. All studies that show correlation between low cholesterol and illness or increased mortality is simply reverse causation.
@@RiDankulous reverse causation is widely used to dismiss paradoxically findings but many times it is not justified.
Please take a look at the study below and describe how reverse causation can explain the fact that the group with the lowest LDL has the worst health outcomes despite it being the youngest, most active and least likely to drink are smoke.
Low Levels of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Mortality Outcomes in Non-Statin Users.
Ki-Chul Sung, Ji Hye Huh, [...], and Sang-Baek Ko
High cholesterol is not a personal flaw smh
I hear everything you're saying in this video, but cholesterol is a unique issue and further complicated by changing perspective in the medical field. I know 2 low fat vegans with high cholesterol... I think it's just really unfortunate genetics sometimes. Although, my 63 year-old dad who is generally healthy - low bmi, active - had high cholesterol. He lowered it with diet but then got a new doctor who told him high cholesterol is an outdated notion that doesn't matter. So, now he's 15lbs heavier again, drinking beer and eating pizza. 🥴 Thanks, doc!!! ugh...
Great review of medical ethics questions: an episode of Star Trek Next Generation called "Ethics." And its all about whats the right way to suggest treatment to a patient.
That dr Mike is in total denial. He knows, he knows that going vegan would be the best thing for him. Healthy vegan that is.
I hope he took down and apologies from the what I eat in a day video recommendations he made..
People actually followed his “professional” advice…. This is why I don’t listen to half of what my gp “knows” about nutrition
Hi Mic. Could you make a video about why young Koreans with low LDL have worse health outcomes than those with moderate levels?
Low Levels of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Mortality Outcomes in Non-Statin Users
Ki-Chul Sung et al. J Clin Med. 2019.
🤔 Hmmm. Interesting. Tell me more! 🧐
@@MichelleVisageOnlyFans just google and read that article. Or this one about Denmark
Association between low density lipoprotein and all cause and cause specific mortality in Denmark: prospective cohort study
BMJ 2020
I will check it out but I am aware that quite a few studies exist that pick up on people are terminally sick and therefore have crashing cholesterol levels they never would have achieved with their diet. If they don't control for that powerful factor then things can get very skewed.
@@MictheVegan Thanks for the reply. I love your channel and have learned a lot from it even though I am not Vegan and we disagree on many topics.
Please take a look at that study. The usual claim of reverse causality doesn't seem to hold water in this case because the group with the lowest LDL and worst health outcomes was also the youngest, most physically active and least likely to smoke and/or drink.
Keep up the good work mate
He may be a doctor, but he eats like a Boomer and styles himself like a video game toon aimed at 7-year-olds. Is it surprising that he's maybe not a trustworthy source of health information?
Honestly don't see how he made it through medical school with his airhead attitude.
I don’t understand why he can’t just at least go vegetarian, if not vegan. These people are so flesh crazy 🙄
