Hey! So happy you are here!

To be clearer, movement brings sugar into the cell in an insulin-independent mechanism. I didn’t mean to imply 20 minutes of walking will remove your insulin Rx, tho I’ve seen patients who did remove their need for meal time insulin through whole food plant based nutrition AND after- meal movement. It’s never just one thing, but it’s nice to know we have power and hope 🙏

Hey! I love your channel name!!❤️🌱

Amen! Just back from Denmark - the home of Ozempic ( but they don’t generally prescribe it as they’ve invested in a biking infrastructure AND ensuring plant based nutrition is available to Danes!)

97% of Americans are not even getting the very low recs for fiber, and the 56 % of our foods are highly processed AND addictive, and 1/3 is fiberless animal products. You’d be surprised what whole, plant dominant, diverse fiber rich foods can do. Sounds overly basic, but I see patients transformed, satisfied, and freed on a regular basis. There’s more to it, but it would be a significant and evidence based impact.

@@drsuzb it's important to buy whole ingredients, to do the processing yourself where possible and nothing that contains factory made unpronounceable ingredients.

Right on- we have to figure out how to support each other in this mess!❤❤❤

Fasting Has some great benefits, when done safely, and can maintain muscle mass much more effectively than many other kinds of weight loss. ( at least fasting mimicking and supervised water fasting have shown that).

Thank you!

That's a lot to handle, and no doubt overwhelming stress makes it harder to make healthy decisions and receive the benefits. I hope it helps you gain the confidence along with lifestyle changes that empower (and don't further overwhelm) you to find vitality.

Thank you for writing. Great to hear it's been helpful for you, and keep up the motivation to use it along with a lifestyle that supports your vitality.

I hope you find a good balance for your. It's unusual to gain a ton of weight on an SOS free WFPBD, but sometimes some good support with a doc accustomed to working with this kind of nutrition (such as at love.life telehealth) can help wade through some gut issues that might pose a struggle or help you get balanced nutrition for your needs in the whole plant world. Good luck on your journey

not true. there is extensive evidence supporting fiber for multiple health concerns. Here is just an overview. Barber TM, Kabisch S, Pfeiffer AFH, Weickert MO. The Health Benefits of Dietary Fibre. Nutrients. 2020 Oct 21;12(10):3209. doi: 10.3390/nu12103209. PMID: 33096647; PMCID: PMC7589116.

Great to hear you found something that helped with weight loss. Would be nice to work with a provider to help support your microbiome to tolerate some of the fiber/micronutrients from whole plants for long-term health. It's a journey, but worth it if you're up for the challenge. Fiber Fueled, Ch 5 would be a good start for info.

@@drsuzb no. This all started after either the vaccine Covid/long Covid which took me down for a year. I needed to find something and this was the only thing that worked for me (I tried a lot of different things), and also I’ve deviated from carnivore and felt the effects of this so, I don’t want to go back there because it’s too debilitating. The bonus was losing weight, but the benefit was getting my life back.

Fibre is NOT necessary Stop with that ‘crap’

Hmmm-I don't know a lot about it. Looks like most studies are rodent studies, some suggest some potential to promote negative gut bugs, and it's not yet approved in Europe. Generally, I like to go either without a sweetener (ideally), or use sweeteners closer to their whole food form (and with their fiber included whenever possible, such as whole fruit, date syrup, maybe occasionally I'll use maple syrup or local honey (not vegan). THe ACV, Lemon and green tea sound good :)

As a type 2 diabetic, I respectfully disagree with you. I am highly carb reactive. Any carb elevates my blood sugar reaction. So more insulin is needed and leads to more insulin resistance. I am 74. Last a1c 5.3. Low Carb for me. 20 total carbs daily.

@@kathyrivera2576 there's a lot there. Glad you have found something to keep your A1c controlled. However, All carbs are not created equal, and many help improve insulin resistance, blood flow, and are the strongest linked foods to longevity. We want to include those whole, fiber rich carbs (like legumes, dark leafy greens, berries, and even carefully chosen WHOLE grains). Insulin resistance is driven BOTH by REFINED carbs AND fat within the muscle cell. We can control our sugars for a while by reducing carb intake, but in order to tolerate carbs and reap the benefits of so many of those healing plant foods (that also happen to be bucketed into the "carbs" macro), we have to address replace the saturated fat, increase the fiber and choose our carbs wisely. Caution for throwing out the baby with the bathwater, by reducing "carbs". I have a video on insulin resistance that talks through this, and Brenda Davis' video "Whole Grain Hierarchy" is great for explaining the grain choices in insulin resistance.

Yes! You are absolutely right- it IS so much more than just diet and exercise, and yes, we will need many deep thinkers to solve this multifactorial issue. The obesogenic environment, including the sad state of what has become of our food ,in addition to the other cultural "norms"( we as a nation are sedentary, sleep deprived, tech addicted, overstressed, and lonely) all contribute to WHY our overweight/obesity/Metabolic impairment stats have escalated as they have. And you are right, once overweight, there is a new set point. And yes, there are some who will need more invasive and extensive measures to address their health. I would never suggest I have it all figured out, nor have I ever stated this is a willpower issue. The nature of why we eat what we do is complex, involves reward centers, addictions, nutrient imbalances, hormone imbalances and so much more. This is why we need to all be part of the solution and unite around positive change that addresses the root drivers AND the urgent needs. Wouldn't it be slightly easier for everyone if we shifted our exposure and environment to one that nudges nourishing food and movement, community support, among other things? It's not that it doesn't work. It's that we are not doing it. Thank you for writing, and I hope we can all unite to improve the health destiny of the Western world.

Bottom line...you have to want to lose weight to lose weight. If you have knowledge of what foods make you gain weight yet you still eat/drink them...bad things can be expected. I've lost over 130 pounds over many many years. It's a struggle. But I'm at the point where I refuse to gain the weight back. And regarding process food addiction...I think we eat more processed food because it's low fiber and not filling. Gives you high glucose spikes and then plummets. This makes you hungry. And we eat more. You eat a pancake breakfast and 90 minutes later you're looking for something else to eat...that's not addiction.

Oh no!

​@@drsuzb I did wholefoods high fibre from whole plants for 35+ years and all I got out of it was an expanding waistline and swollen ankles. And I consulted a dietician - twice! I did low carb vegetables with minimal fibre for 4 months and had the weight and figure I had before going vegetarian and could once again fit into a size 6 US/10 UK and felt more full of energy than I had in my teens.

@@FC-PeakVersatilityinteresting- sounds like you may have had some intolerance or dysbiosis that certainly would benefit from personalizing your plan. Glad you are feeling better.

@@drsuzb funnily enough I have an intolerance to my favourite food - meat. I was noticeably suffering from arthritis by the time I was 19. Less than 10 years later I was in constant pain and becoming more and more crippled. Through a series of totally unassociated circumstances I ended up eating a vegetarian diet. Some weeks later (less than 6 months) I realised that I hadn’t been needing to take painkillers for some time. I stayed vegetarian all the way through to the pandemic when, following the advice of a dietitian, I gained over 4 stone. Needless to say I won’t be seeking advice from that source ever again. Instead I added meat back into my diet, cut carbohydrates to nigh on zero and lost 3 of those 4 stone.

You may need to work with someone to help support your gut in the process. Read fiber fueled

Ha! thanks- check this one out : ua-cam.com/video/62wKOHkfZWQ/v-deo.htmlsi=tcg9-g8ZjAm0LAmb

Not at this time-as far as I’m aware, there’s not a lot of data to support it- I would include fermented food regularly ( my fave is sauerkraut ( make sure it’s non pasteurized, like wildbrine, eg), 2TBS mixed into my salad dressing ( recipe on my breakfast video), with ground Flax ( more fiber!)turmeric, black pepper, NOOCH, chipotle and tahini tossing in a boat load of cruciferous greens among other things 🌱

Leonflax is new to me but seems to have good stuff in it. I’m not sure how much actual groundflax is in each serving. So,depending on your health goals, (eg,for high blood pressure, you want 30g of ground flax),may be hard to determine dose. That said- it looks good in general. I love adding vinegar where you can! ACV is great. Keep up the great choices!🎉

Hi! Prednisone is hard, but certainly focusing on supporting your gut and stress will help. I just posted another video with some more lifestyle tips - hope they help!

Great idea!

Just subscribed, going to check out more of your videos. Thanks for getting to the point and giving such good information. I'm also impressed that you take the time to answer questions.

@@judybryant3880 thank you!

Hope you enjoy!! It’s next to the tofu usually 😊

Let me know how you like it!

Please me know how you like the recipe if you make it!
