Vegan for over 25 years, after reading some of the books mentioned in this talk. I will never go back. The variety of plant foods and the world of wonderful food that opens up when you explore this way of eating, is impossible to describe to someone who has never considered it. We do what we learn as children, it takes a shift in perception to make this kind of decision, but so so worth it. And my daughters, and their children, are all varying degrees from vegan to vegetarian. And as a side note, I LOVE her dress!!!
Which books did you read? I'm interested in reading about this too!
As a physician, it's refreshing to hear other doctors talk about the power of nutrition to heal the body. Thank you Dr. Yami for sharing not just your professional wisdom but also your personal experience with plant-based eating.
For someone who isn't an animal person, you sure hit one out of the ballpark for them. Mad respect. Thank you.
I have been vegan for almost 12 years and it's still the best thing I've ever done!!!
I'm 65 and went plant-based in 2012....ZERO aches/pains....great energy every day plus I donate my O+ blood every 65 days and have for some years....for ME, it's a great way to live and thrive!
Excellent talk by a knowledgable pediatrician who sees on a daily basis how lifestyle can profoundly affect health. It’s about time someone spoke up on behalf of our younger generation, whose members are more overweight and sicker than any other generation before it. Our kids deserve better and parents deserve to be educated about the way their food choices influence their children’s health. Bravo, Dr. Yami; thank you for sharing, educating and inspiring and I hope that others like you will follow suit!

My Yakima, WA M.D. cardiologist's "Heart Healthy Diet" begins: "The closer to vegan, the better! Eat beans, not beef! Meat - Avoid!!! Vegetarians who didn't eat meat and fish had a 32% lower risk of coronary artery disease! If already have coronary artery disease, can increase the chances of making blockages disappear!..." Frankly, I am finding all kinds of plant-based alternatives to be very tasty and satisfying. It all begins with my choices...
Thank you Yami for speaking the truth so eloquently. Pamela Wible MD
Thank you for speaking the truth to this audience. “First, do no harm.” This includes your own body, those of your family, and other sentient beings. You look amazing! I’ll bet you feel amazing, too.
Loved this! Thank you Yami! As a fellow pediatrician who’s studied nutrition extensively, I wholeheartedly agree. A plant based diet is not only safe for our kids, it gives them a foundation for lifelong health. I’ve been plant based myself for 7 years and my kids, age 3 and 5, have been plant based their entire lives and are thriving. I strongly recommend a plant based diet for all my patients. As she said...it’s not just the best choice for their health, it’s the best choice for the health of the planet and the animals. A win, win, win!!! And by the way...it’s also cheaper and easier 😉
As someone who’s struggled with insomnia all my life, since I’ve become plant based I sleep way better
I can't begin to explain how much Dr. Yami's mentoring has helped me in improving my overall health and wellness! Since starting my wellness mentoring journey with Dr. Yami, and transitioning to a fully plant based diet, I have read all kinds of other research and sought our other experts that also back-up what I have learned from her. So empowering! Taking my health back into my own hands, even when it goes against the norm in our society. I have seen and experienced it in my own life the positive changes that come from changing the way I eat. I've shared this Ted Talk with many others who are also working towards better overall health in their lives. Bravo, Dr. Yami. Thanks for all you do. You are so inspiring and encouraging.
Excellent presentation and so honored to have seen this in person! Dr. Yami is a very knowledgeable pediatrician who practices evidence based healthcare. She's my role model! As a pediatric healthcare provider I can also attest to the benefits plant based eating has done for my family and patients! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you. Excellent and scholarly talk in can use in teaching nutrition to medical students. Well done
Love the honesty and wisdom of this presenter! So well done and so much truth to all the information presented! Amazing job Dr. Yami!
Most compelling communication skills backed with data, personal lessons, conviction. Thank you
There’s definitely research to support that a whole food plant based diet is healthy and can prevent and reverse chronic illness!! It has been miraculous in helping me with my illness and I didn’t have to treat it with medications because my symptoms were alleviated. Incredible talk and inspiration!!!
Wonderful, accessible recommendations for a plant-based and plant-slanted diet.
“Appropriately planned vegetarian diets including total vegetarian or vegan diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide benefits in the treatment and prevention of certain diseases...”
-The American dietary association
Thanks for spreading scientific truth!
There are so many voices saying what they want about diet, I’m always inspired by and thankful for advice backed by evidence.
Dr. Yami's enthusiasm for a healthier planet is contagious! I love that she's simply encouraging us to incorporate more plants into the human diet. It just makes sense and it's better for everyone on so many levels. Thank you for sharing your story and wisdom!
Dr. Yami is very knowledgeable, passionate and extremely dedicated. She has helped me to understand and follow a plant based diet which has improved my health. Dr. Yami, believe in communicating facts to people. She believe in what she do. Thanks Dr. Yami.
Great talk. Important message.
Excellent presentation...THANK YOU!
As a fellow physician and member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, I have looked at much of the evidence behind a plant-based diet. Countless studies have shown that this diet can help prevent and even reverse many lifestyle-related diseases. Thank you, Dr. Yami, for presenting an excellent talk that adds to the work of so many other physicians like Dr. Barnard, Dr. Greger, and Dr. Esselstyn. As awareness increases for both medical providers and patients, we will hopefully be able to move this side effect-free medical intervention to the forefront of medical care.
Greetings from Finnish 🇫🇮 M.D, Dip IBLM
It's not the meat that's removed from the diet that changes the lifestyle, it's all the other junk food that you remove from the diet. Then you suddenly feel wonderful and blame meat for it.
Incredible information presented by a phenomenal healthcare professional, scientist, mother, and human being. Thank you!
Thank you for this amazing talk! So great to hear from MDs the importance of plants in our diet.
I love your approach and I love your expertise on this subject and shedding light to this lifestyle. It has been life changing for myself and others!
Great talk. Dr. Yami is the a great teacher and she is so compassionate
Great, informative presentation. It’s not about deprivation. It’s about abundance!
Thank you. I love the life-changing message (I've experienced this too), and the title of the talk!
Thank you for an amazing science evidenced-based talk on plant based nutrition. Will share with all!
Wonderful talk Yami CL. You are an epitome of health.
Great guidelines to follow for life!!!
Thank you for this powerful talk! I appreciate this message.
I fed my daughter whole milk after she turned 1 as per doctor's recommendations. She developed constipation, eczema, respiratory problems and trouble sleeping. Now she is 15, I became vegan 6 years ago to fight my Rheumatoid Arthritis. All my pain went away. As for my daughter, she is better, still has eczema, she can not commit to a plant based diet. Teach by example they say... hoping the day will come when she completely heals her skin.
I sruggle with eczema. I have been trying to learn HOW to eat healthy (& velieved ehole foods plant strong/based little to no oil and salt might be the way.. Or a way to get and feel healthy, @ least healthier.. But haven't figured out how yet. I used to do lots of salads, but didn't seem to get helathy, so am not all vegan rn" but these things make me want to keep trying, learning & implementing... & I hope I can & will be healthier.)!.
My daughter used to strike with eczema lots when she was younger. In fit mine starting around 28 years old & have struggled since, & it's gotten worse for me. I hope for success for your daughter. It's difficult. Thanks for sharing.
gluten gmos
high sodium other additives
lots of fruit
Very informative talk. Yami does a great job explaining her approach to health.
She speaks the truth! My only regret in going vegan 8 years ago is that I didn't do it sooner in life. Never felt better.
This was a good summary of the reasons and process of moving toward a plant based diet. It matches my experience as well, but I started as an animal lover.
Same here, started as an animal lover!! 🐈 🐕 🐇 🐄 🐓 🐖
I absolutely love this!! There is more education out there but the government is making it unavailable to us! Do your research , our current society is trying to make us sick with the standard American diet!! I too went through the Cornell Studies. I am completely whole food plant based my kids are and my last pregnancy was !! Absolutely thriving in nutrition!!!
🌱💚💯
Inspiring and amazing presentation Dr. Yami.
I am very impressed by the intelligence and enthusiasm with which this talk was given. Also it is truth, however much many do not want to believe it. For the good of my health and the health of the planet I chose a whole food plant based lifestyle.
THIS WAS AMAZING!!!
Everything this physician is saying is backed by research!! Thank you for sharing this information!
Carnivores say exactly the same thing, and they don't have to add all the extras to their diet because meat and fish already has it.
Fantastic talk . So pleased that you discovered the best diet for your health and for the completely helpless and defenseless animals.
Brilliant talk!!
Great! And I love your podcast!
Bravo! Thank you for sharing.
What an amazing speaker!
Thnks for insightful Talk as im striving toward total plant- based lifestyle at age 74yrs🤗
Good for you! I started at 60. It’s never too late!!
Good on you, Yami.
Very well said ✌️❤️
Please explain the warning above? there are plenty of diet talks on Ted.. Ton's of nutrition ones.. without the disclaimer. hmm..
Totally agree.. makes no sense.
I was thinking the same thing, why? 🤷♀️
@@karaokenglish 6oz of steak is not 100 calories, it is closer to 500 calories. 100 calories of steak is more like 1.5oz, if that. In other words, one big mouthful!
I watched one the other day that was declined due to medical changed experienced by diet.. but she somehow got the recording
@@karaokenglish if you’re going to compare calories you might as well pick the valley dense foods like potato’s, grains, and corn.
Or if you actually meant protein, compare with legumes and beans
But yeah I agree “vegan” is controversial
Thanks
Great!!! I enjoyed her talk!!!❤❤❤ I'm very new at living a vegan lifestyle 1 month yesterday.
Love ths...
Good Info.
Dr Yami speaks from her personal experience but many, MANY other have had the same or similar experience as evidenced by multiple, peer-reviewed studies.
You flagged this talk, Ted? Completely unnecessary, Ted. Plenty of quality studies behind what she said. I'd be curious to see if you're as eager to flag talks on what you're more likely to agree with.
Thank you so much for this comment, I totally agree!!
I have chronic stomach discomfort and pain. This is from excess oil and dairy in my diet. During quarantine, I picked up the worst eating habits of my life. Today is 3/14. Tomorrow will begin my 30 day vegetarian diet. Excuses stop today.
How did it go?
@@soilikasanen It absolutely went well. I was consistent. Thank you for asking
@@lachelle81 congratulations!!
AMEN. As we move close to the end of the history of this world, many will learn this truth. Hallelujah
There are two things that make transitioning to a plant-based diet challenging: 1) Addictions to Cheese (take a look at the studies around this, and 2) Society's lack of awareness making it difficult to eat out at restaurants (fortunately, this is improving by the day as plant-based is becoming more common).
Neither of these are worthy excuses to not make an effort to do better for our health, for ethics, and for the planet. There's nothing that warrants the amount of meat and dairy that the United States, along with other nations, are consuming.
Yami's suggestion for 75% is a good start. Don't allow these big corporations who are trying to increase their profits to influence what we're putting into our bodies.
💯
Brilliant Ted Talk! Thanks so much for sharing your story, which is no surprise considering it's 100% supported by scientific evidence. As our average life span continues to decline it is my hope that more people will adopt this way of eating. It's good for people, animals, and the planet.
Bravo doctor! Though I'm only a vegetarian, your speech was compelling. Thank you!
Go vegan 🌱
if you are a medical doctor and you ignore the science and the evidence supporting WPBD - you are not doing your job, and if you are recommending animal products - you are causing harm to your patients! simple as that. Bravo to Dr Yami
I have this video and this speaker to thank for me starting on the road to becoming vegan.
I wish I could hug you from me and the animals!! 🐄 🐖 🐓
This is probably the best, or one of the top TEDx Talks I've experienced.. Thanks Dr. Yami aka The Veggie Doctor. Also- Thanks to you, I found out about The Kiffness, and that Broccoli song!
I have medical issue when I was eating diary and meat. I have tried everything every doctor but no one could help me to heal. I have switched to a planet-based diet and in two months the health condition disappear and I was healed after and the health conditions completely disappear!! My energy is better and my health no is the best in my life!
Congratulations!!
Bravo👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
At 65, I am full of energy and feel so light on a plant based diet. I sleep at night with a lighter conscience too. To go vegan all you need is a heart and brain and the capacity to use them both.
Interesting
J Read THAT BOOK...they are also barefootted & constantly grounded!!At 34 yrs of age 💪🏾💥 i
Transitioned into vegetarianism in 2 weeks &have never been better in my Soul 💯✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
Many thanks and hugs from me and the animals!! 🐄 🐖 🐓
I've been a vegetarian for 30 years. I only eat plant based foods. Since 1974.
I’ve spoken to my doctor many times about how a plant-based diet has improved my health and reduced my cholesterol. Just remember: Just because you eat a plant-based diet doesn’t mean that you can then go and eat a bag of jelly beans and still be healthy.
I am ready to begin this lifestyle. I just don’t know where/how to start. Any realistic guidances
And another comment. My father passed away at 94 years of age and lived a difficult life; his early life was in abject poverty and horrible environmental conditions, He died from job-related chronic and multiple chemical exposures, without which, who knows how long he would have lived. He was working full time at age 93 years. Now, my disclaimer to start with, he was never vegan or fully vegetarian. Closer to your 75%.He definitely leaned to mostly vegetarian, he did avoid meat and animal products to a significant degree. There were NONE in his home. His home was 100% vegetarian. He did use butter and would buy bread that had dairy, occasional/rare cake or cookies and I mean RARE - 2x3 a year and he drank a Coca-Cola on special occasions, medicinal purposes, he said and I believe this-he said it helped his stomach at times) He would not turn down meat if visiting someone, and he would eat "some of it" I supposed to appear polite and because in his earlier life, he was not privileged enough to even have regular meals, and often went to bed hungry. Occasionally, there was fried chicken (let's say 3-4 times a year as a guess from me?) He never had chicken in his home but he never turned away fried chicken on a plate handed to him at a gathering or visit. Fried chicken was one of his favorite meals from childhood. He turned to this mostly vegetarian diet in his late 60s. Was it genetic? Vegetarian? We will never know, but I saw an average and aging 60-something human surviving an extreme and harsh environment, retired at 55 from again, that environment he had to live through to transform into a man who went back to work again in his early 70's for another TWENTY YEARS of having a job, exercising regularly, walking, active and busy, and most important a happy person, never becoming a rocking chair individual. Who knows what happened or why or how, but his life and lifestyle after his diet changed is sufficient testimonial for me, my spouse and my children. Thanks for your information here!
Thanks for a powerful talk and reconfirmation. (a comic relief, or comic pain as it were!) I had a vegan friend who told me he had to go back to meat because his doctor told him he needed protein and wasn't getting enough. He went on to say it was a hard road to eat meat again as his digestive system went haywire, (hint hint) but he'd now adjusted. As a vegetarian, but not vegan, I was curious, so I quizzed him. "Where did you get your protein?" I asked. "oh," he said, " I always eat my french fries with cheese, lots of it" (and he went on to say it was actually Pasteurized, processed cheese food, the kind that's in cellophane individual wrappers. and cafe fries, oh my!) "Ah," I replied and went on my way. . .. shaking my head.
The thing is most of the vegans weren’t born as a vegan. But we open our eyes and heart to the truth and I wish that to all the people.
I love the fact that she said IF you are concerned about "climate change"! As for me, I do NOT care about that - nor to I have to in order to be plant-strong!
You must be American. It’s the only country where this fact is up for debate. Exxon’s OWN SCIENTISTS were the first to discover the link between (there own) fossil fuels and climate change in the 1970s. They suppressed it out of obvious self-interest. You are on the wrong side of established fact. But glad you’re plant strong!
in minute 17 remember - the combination of rice and beans together creates a synergetic combination - a complete protein!

What about bioavailability?
After eating cheak pea for lunch my blood glucose was above 250, what is going on, never again will i try it again.
Good ideas. You are beautiful.
We suffer from the suffering we do to animals
I think the title should include her title.
Yes, then maybe they wouldn’t need a disclaimer.

I don’t love animals like that . I’m vegan because I heard my mentor was. Period. Best decision 😅. No wonder I choose him as a mentor, he does the right things
Winner winner chickpea dinner🙏
I'm a bit older than her and just had my first real constipation last week.
from chicken and watermelon to chickpeas.
Bruh what we eat. Everybody talking about what not to eat. What do we eat. Im 145lbs 5'11" with a high metabolism. If i switch to just vegetables nuts berries and fruit ill disappear. So what do we eat?
Ah cognitive dissonance: I know what to do but I’m struggling with how to change to WFPB diet.
You'll wake up, I hope it isn't too late. How long have you been vegan, a few weeks?
Born to run ppl are little meat though. We over indulge. That's the problem
C sections are now the norm, Doc.
This is so unnatural. Look into this please.
You need to use the data from the USDA to get through to people as to how many billions of animals are killed for nothing other than individuals who enjoy the taste of flesh and animal secretions.
How old are you? Have you ever tasted meat without spices and salt? I has no taste at all. It's the most boring stuff on the planet. It's the spices and herbs that make it tasty. If you ever had half a brain you'd know that. Also, if it were not for your mother and father and your grandparents eating meat, you wouldn't even be alive.
People should know that being vegan is NOT a diet. Being 'Plant-based' is a diet. Veganism is a way of living life which eliminates as far as is possible the exploitation of and cruelty to animals. ALL animals and that includes fish, insects, etc. (note: this is not the formal definition of veganism, just a quick way to explain it).
