    all i know is my Grandma and Great Grandma lived into late their late 90’s. this was there menu…. boiled water kept in a glass pitcher in fridge, broiled chicken and beef patties. with salt n pepper, (they didn’t use buns) steamed broccoli, carrots, potatoes, basic shredded lettuce salad with carrots and tomatoes the salad using mayo and ketchup for dressing, skim milk, breakfast was shredded wheat the big squares with cut up banana, or fried egg on top of buttered toast, cut up cantaloupe, grapefruit and oranges and every night a shot of wine or sherry before bed, and always said their prayers upon waking and then again before they went to bed. God had everything to do with their decision’s including food and habits. my husbands folks are now in their 90’s and follow a similar but different menu.

      Caffeine is not good for us, it depletes electrolytes, vitamins and minerals and simply blocks the neurotransmitters of fatigue so it’s a false feeling of energy and increases adrenaline etc. Hence why it can deplete our nutrients instead of giving true energy with nutrients. Yes green tea and coffee have antioxidants because they are plants but just get your antioxidants from non caffeinated sources.

      I wish I could have done this for my mother. Do you know anything about SIBO? I think she had this and her friend who died a couple of years before her. Mom died of failure to thrive, could only eat a little bit, nausea, no appetite, diarrhea . She was 89 pounds or less. She survived Covid only to get RSV a few weeks later. If I had lived near her and made yogurt for her, which she loved, she might still be with us. Thanks, I will spread the word about home-made yogurt! Q: Do you advise a plant-based diet? I had to begin including grass-fed beef. I disagree with some of what Dr. Li states.

      I was one who could go years in between cleanings. I got a SoniCare, flossed daily and thought I could go even longer… turns out I went just in time, because unbeknownst to me, I was developing gum pockets!
      I started using grapefruit seed extract with a Pik Pocket (tip) WaterPik for 5 minutes daily, and they started reversing.

    To Dr. Li's intro summary I would add 'attending to portion size' to carbo foods. We grow up eating double to quintuple portions of carbo - and one serving a meal is all we need in most cases. One slice of bread, 1/4 cup of pasta or rice is a serving.
    Double or triple the veg - and lower the carbo portion unless your life is very physically active.

    i saw Dr. Li with Dr.Mark Hyman a couple of weeks ago and bought his new book. I love his delivery in both writing and on this podcast. He is so definite about his beliefs and what food does in the body, but he leans heavily on people making their own judicious choices, given the scientific facts to elicit a healthy outcome. I live in Berlin where great organic food is on the corner, and there's nothing in his books that is inaccessible here. I'm 78. and was diagnosed with diabetes six years ago. I'm fortunate enough to have a doctor who believes that I am in tune with my own body, and knows I want to reduce the amount of metformin I take. My Alc is now 5.7, a drop from 6.1 in the last six months, but I've also lost 14 pounds in that time. I appreciate Dr. Li's trust in patients to lose weight, have a healthy metabolism and blood sugar and gut without drugs. He makes it feel so possible with a the most excellent reason to do so--overall good health through healthy food.

      Don’t go hog wild on fruit though. You need to pay attention to smaller or moderate amounts relevant to your particular metabolism and needs. I am a diabetic on keto with IF and it serves me very well. But I feel best when I eat A LITTLE fruit. I eat 1/4 of large grapefruit with stevia on it every day after the 2nd meal of my 2 meals a day. If I ate it at breakfast it would tend to make my blood sugar go up too much and affect my blood sugars all day to be somewhat higher than otherwise. So I never eat fruit at breakfast. I eat it as my dessert after my only other meal of the day ( only 2 meals a day, rarely ever a snack). When I eat it after the meal which is protein & low carb vegetables then the sugar rise from it small. When I eat berries in my goat yogurt I can only tolerate 4 cherries at a time, 5-6 blueberries at a time and two strawberries. In fall I gather free unsprayed crabapples mid July thru early August before they seeeten and the same with wild pears. I gather red September apples unsprayed from the public venue and I eat the high polyphenol skins with a potato peeler and and eat those in my salad and give my friend the peeled apples to make apple sauce with ‘but the apple itself has too much sugar for me. Check your glucose levels when you eat fruit though to know what’s happening to your blood sugar. I figure I can tolerate 1/2 of a kiwi a day. I’m 70.

    Im 46 and man i never knew some of the things i know today. I grew up eating vegetables and fruits but eating out became a way of life for me as a teen, my 20s and 30s. I ate pretty healthy in my mid 20s and 30s but fried chicken from Popeyes, pizza and everything didn't help. One thing i can say that helped me a bit was always working out. I started working out at 14 and present. I got real serious with my health at about 38-40. I watched videos on CZcams and learned things i never knew. I add a. Salad to my meals everyday now. I eat twice a day. Nobody is perfect but everything i buy is natural. No canned foods. I cook everything from stratch. I eat fish twice a week. Salmon. I tried vegan and i felt great but im anemic and i think i have to eat a little meat. Im just trying to eat mostly plant based foods. I love avocado, spinach, kale, quinoa, black beans, sweet potatoes, walnuts, raisins, almond butter( fresh almond butter from a machine that grinds them up in front of you. Not the almond butter with that palm oil in it. Pears, apples, kiwi, strawberries, dates, mango, watermelon. So many good natural foods you can enjoy without the added stuff you get in the freezer, or a restaurant. Thanks for the video doc. These videos are always much needed. Especially in this day and age. 🙏

For a snack I will eat a cup of berries or a hand-full of raw pecans. Friday I eat another 16oz ribeye. On Saturday I eat 2 eggs scrambled w/cheese, 2 eggs over medium, 6 strips of bacon and a sausage patty. Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday if I get hungry I drink a cup of coffee with 2 spoons of butter and 2 spoons of mct oil and about six ounces of heavy cream. I think we calculated the coffee to be close to 1000 calories. I'm not on a calorie cutting diet, I'm on a carb cutting diet. I've never felt better and all my blood work is perfect.

    Ok, you asked for my opinion so I'll give it to you.
    In America we need to rename "Health" insurance to specifically "Medical " insurance. Hospitals and most doctors do not provide healthcare, but provide medical care.
    Healthcare is what you do at the grocery store, on the heart trail and sleeping upon nightfall.
    A lot of people have the misconception that the health insurance card they carry in their wallet is just that, insurance for them to keep living unhealthy.
    They only find out to late the hospital when they come to see me. 😢.
    Medical care and Health care are two different things.

It might have been alright in the past. And there are exceptions to the rule but they are doing too much to it in processing & to the animals to be good for us to drink every day. There are so many plant based foods that can give your body what milk does & more. Increase your research.
