I'm from Ukraine, I want to speak English fluently and understand native speakers without any problems. A week ago I came across your channel and Since then I've been listening to your wonderful podcasts 4-5 hours a day at least. Thank you. I like your videos!
So here you have a British and American accent.Which one do you find easier to understand?
Plus an added bonus is that Rich doesn't speak fast.
@@alwayslearning7672 I think American. I like American English. I've always wanted to visit the United States, this is my dream and I'm sure that someday I'll do it. I'm only 17 now and I'm not gonna give up. I've been learning English for a year, at this moment I understand about 25% of the videos, but one day I'll understand 100%
@@123zxcasd I understand them approximately 50% in terms of real English speaker. 😭
Reading books helps to speed up the process of learning 💛💙
@@toutounr8120 Can you advise me some books?
I noticed that women’s concerns are very downplayed as us bring “over dramatic,” which results in us getting misdiagnosed. Something about Gemma’s tone of voice and how she expresses her concerns/experience makes me feel so safe and understood. Thank you for bringing her 🙌🏻
This is so important and is hardly ever broadcast, doing half of the world's population a total disservice. I'm a 78 year old registered nurse who is still working,; and had very little knowledge about such debilitated conditions. Well done bringing this important issue to our attention.
“Do you most want to be somebody who pleases others? do you most want to be somebody that lives in alignment with things that are important to you? Are those things one and the same?”
This spoke directly to me, thank you for having and sharing these conversations. ❤️
Brilliant...ive gone plant based 6 weeks ago and 16 hour intermitent fasting every day...ive lost 6 kgs and feel so much better already
I just love how genuinely Rich is weirded out and simultaneously amazed by women's concerns and major turns in life
Wow this woman is awesome. Thank you so much for having her. The way she explained living in alignment with your values gave me goosebumps, and that mantra at the end is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. What an amazing episode, thanks Rich and Gemma x
Kudos to Rich Roll for using his platform in the best way possible. Always bringing us relevant information & intriguing topics & guests.
Oh wow - as a post menopausal woman, this hit home. So informative and validation that my multitude of systems during the process was likely attributable to the process itself. I sure wish this podcast had been around for my husband to see/hear during that period of time. Thank you so much! I tuned into hear more about a plant based diet which I am only a year into, and I learned a million times more!
Thank you for creating a podcast about women’s health. Much needed. 👍🏻
Thank you for putting this episode together about women’s health. My comment about the need to highlight more topics specifically related to women’s wellness and health is being addressed! Thank you Rich. Rare to have an interview on this subject of hormones and menopause being conducted by a man indeed. So kudos!
Thank you so so much Rich and Gemma. This is so needed especially for older menopausal women ❤️🙏
So grateful for this interview. Being a healthy wholefoods plant based eater and 53, I have teetered on the HRT subject and whether or not to give it a try. This was very helpful and gave me much to think about regarding it. Thank you for having Dr Gemma on!
I felt the same way and am grateful to have come across this interview.
Loved this conversation today... thank you. I'm 58 and went plant base/whole food two and a half years ago! My partner isn't plantbased and I didn't push it at all with him. However, he has started eating alot of what I eat ... because he enjoys it!
So less meat dishes for him! 🌱
Love it. Already have her book!
12 y vegan at 58 and I have extremely good health !!
I'm only a few minutes into this video. Does she prefer patients to get on HRT? What do you like best about her book?
“The older I get I can’t remember what came before what”…. Thanks for saying that out loud Rich for those of us that are in our 40’s and up 😄
Thank you for having her on the show and asking questions about women's health. I got a good laugh when you asked the genuine question of is there a test for that? Bc no of course there isn't, which isn't a laugh at you it's a laugh at how far we still need to go in women's health. We are way behind
What a lovely lady and Rich, so refreshing to hear female hormones and challenges we face showcased and discussed in an empowering way. I have read that menopause is one of the most under researched matters yet it impacts 50% of the population. Open discussion and guidance will support women to be able to manage this period and reduce the physical and mental impacts. I've ordered Gemmas book. 🙏👏❤
Always inspires; never disappoints. Thank you again for another fabulous conversation!!
Dr Gemma you are so much more than a doctor. Your spiritual bliss is so beautiful and please bring that to us ! Thank you for your complantsion !! We love you !
More women's voices on this podcast, please!
Why is gender so important, grow up, knowledge trumps all
@@Jacob_EstateAgent Yours is an immature and uneducated comment.
Thank you so much for creating an informative and helpful podcast discussing women’s health, especially around hormones and menopause! Too uncommon and much needed. ❤🙏
I was diagnosed with endometriosis over 20 years ago. I self researched how diet could impact my symptoms and implemented a plant based diet (without my dr’s Support). I had surgery and was told it was chronic and would need surgery every 3-5 years. I have managed my symptoms and not had another surgery. I am a huge believer in food affecting health but still have so much to learn and I so appreciate resources like this to keep me steady on the journey. I am in my 50’s and have had no peri menopausal or menopause symptoms yet. This podcast is so informative and helpful! Thank you!
I can't say how much I am a fan of your work. Your finding ultra book has inspired me to lose weight and make a lifestyle change instead of a diet.
Great interview - thankyou 🙏🏻. My mum suffered terribly with the menopause for years. I had virtually no symptoms and feel that has been due to the fact that I am vegan and my mum eats meat and dairy very regularly.
Tina L, not necessary. I had very easy transition eating mostly low carb & doing some fasting for last 4-5 years. However, being around toxic, emotionally draining people has taken toll on my health.
Loved this episode so much, thank you Rich! What a gem Doctor Gemma is! I'm 40 and haven't reached menopause yet but I've started to think about it more now that I'm officially in my 40's and like to be prepared and have knowledge about it. I'm a vegan and have been for a few years but lately gained a bit weight and this episode has inspired me to eat more healthy vegan food, less mince and more lentils, look into what foods I should reduce and replace and what I should eat more of. Today I made the most delicious soup from a sweet potato, carrots, red lentils, ginger, salt and vegetable broth and it was sooo good and kept me going for hours! (cooked everything in a bit of water until carrots and potato were soft and then mashed it with a hand held blender (don't know the name for it)) And then I listened to this episode which has inspired me to eat more healthy both for my hormones, mental health and weight :)
Dr. Greger recommends more soy foods. I tried that and made a huge difference. No dairy products too. Hot flushes went.
Google lists these... (I did that because my spelling isn't so great)... Foods made from soybeans can be divided into unfermented and fermented foods. Unfermented foods include - tofu, soymilk, edamame, soy nuts and sprouts, while fermented soy products include - miso, tempeh, natto ....
@@skippy6462 Glad to hear that you think more soy foods worked for you! Will remember that when menopause makes an appearance :-O
Oh I love Dr. Gemma! She's one of these people that seems to be smiling all the time 😊
I LOVE that Gemma brought up the evolutionary biology of menopause, reducing the mortality through childbirth of older years allowing women to have more likelihood of being around for their own children's adulthood and childbearing years. My experience living in East Africa the past 15 years tells me clearly that societies that value elders - or really, value and embrace humans at every stage of life, not wishing to prolong any phase as better or more desirable - are healthier places to be. Thank you!
*I think being skeptical is natural, a situation whereby your instinct kicks in when you are trying to step out of your safe zone, but one can't achieve something extraordinary by being ordinary and afraid to take the necessary risk*
the greatest regret is not trying and failing but it is attempting not to try at allFunny enough people aspire to emulate great investors and entrepreneurs, of our time but they only see their wins and achievements and they careless about their challenges and failures during multiple trials and the lesson it teaches
Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth,investing remains the priority. Forex trading has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent payout,with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works
Talking about being successful! I know am blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Mrs Raghee Horner
Who doesn't know Mrs Raghee? It's been a year since i met her and I'm still making great profits under her guidance.
@@victoriawilliam8960 This is really helpful for my situation,please how can I get intouch with her?
All of a sudden I started having synchronicities and started manifesting things I could ever imagine!
Thanks
Thanks for the interview. I've had endometriosis, fibroid tumors and ovarian cysts. I've had issues for many years to the point I eventually had a hysterectomy in April of 2008. It's had to deal with because either you are ignored or they tell it's normal. I had it so severe to bleed heavy and long, lasting for weeks or more.
Thanks sooooo much for this! I learned so much.. My very loving and supportive husband was acutely aware of my perimenopausal symptoms (mine started early, late 30's, African-American). HRT IS LIFE CHANGING (for me). Mentally and physically-- so grateful for docs (men and women) who listened to me and work with me. I have had to advocate and research to find a med regimen that works for me (I work in Healthcare) and is affordable because HRT is not covered by my insurance.
Many women find relief & incredible healing (from almost every chronic disease) eating our ancestral human diet (animal based) and then they dont need HRT. #meatheals
I tried a few different HRT and unfortunately I tend to get palpitations... So I had to stop using HRT. I was hoping I could get it through proper diet and nutrition 😭🙏
Pain was my reason to change my eating. Everyone else in the house had no interest. Over time they changed from drinking cow’s milk to almond drink. One of them eats vegan most of the time. Having patience is quite wise.
I replaced dairy milk with soya milk a few years ago (before peri-menopause) because dairy is a migraine trigger for me. I also eat soya yoghurt and tofu. I have had zero hot flushes or night sweats in the four years I have been going through peri-menopause.
Wow , that’s great.
Rather good chat with Dr N ✅ thank you rich ...this is where u r in ur true elements ...rather than when talking to guests who pride themselves on the number of injuries they have sustained , doing extreme sports n all that jazz. Keep em coming ..such great conversations with Dr N ..Dr Alan n all that 💕
The 'bandwidth' to change diet is a good concept and visited by other doctors but using different terminology. There's only so much change people can accept right away in general. I think it's part where the concept of atomic habits helps where graphing out change over time it can theoretically be easier to make these changes in small increments although doing it methodically.
It reminds me of one of the plant based people I think Plantiful Kiki might have mentioned replace brown rice instead of white rice and the kids might not like it. I think in that case it is possible that brown could be mixed in with white over time in increments and the children will not be shocked into the switch. It actually would be a wonderful experiment to see how it would work out.
Loved this! Great to educate both men & women on menopause. I’m almost 51 and my vegan diet has definitely helped my journey. I don’t plan on doing HRT but if any vegan ladies out there are considering it, make sure you look into ALL ingredients as some may be derived from animals (if that’s important to you). Keep up the great work Rich & Gemma 😊🇨🇦🙌🏻
👏👏THANK YOU! Rich and Dr. Newman this was amazing and a beautiful valuable contribution to Woman’s health, which is so neglected! YES you are right on Menopause is a public health issue.. it needs to change!! People like you are going to do that! I’m s Women who has suffered silently and alone it’s awful and a crime! I’m sharing my experience on my channel hoping to help make that change on how we go through Menopause! To have it become a beautiful valuable transformation instead!!!❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏✨✨✨😘
I wish more female doctors would tell woman this ahead of time . Mine never told me . I’m suffering now because mine was caused early at 43 due to radiation and chemotherapy . Such a great interview. Love her.
I am a dietitian from the UK and I really like Dr. Gemma Newmans approach to converting to a plant based diet e.g small gentle changes. It was a really interesting podcast so thank you to both of you.
Rich, I am a new listener/viewer of your podcasts and videos and I am viewing from Canada. I really love these long interviews with a wide variety of guests. Dr. Gemma is golden by the way!! I love that you aren't feeding your viewers snippets of an in-depth conversation, where topics can be taken out of context. Thank you for your thoughtful questions and how you engage with your guests! I am grateful I found your work.
Rich ! You are so rich in your ?’s for Dr GEMMA this is so compassionate and heart felt and i admire your podcasts so very much ! You are just TOP NOTCH ! Thank you Thank you Thank YOU 😻
This video is why I subscribed. Great to have a focus on women but also to include general health. The doctor was so interesting. Thank you
I would love to see you interview Dr. John McDougall - "The Potato Doctor". I know you've interviewed Chef AJ before, who has Dr. McDougall on her UA-cam channel quite often. There seems to be this ongoing debate about "healthy fats" in the plant based world especially surrounding Omega 3s. I think it would be very helpful for your audience to hear what Dr. McDougall has to say about this.
Wonderful and inspiring talk. Thank you so much Rich and Gemma.
Great answers to Rick's questions about making plant-based lifestyle changes. Preparing your own food is time well spent.
I absolutely love Dr Gemma Newman. She presents so much knowledge in such an easily understood manner. Her voice is so pleasant to listen to. Like having a conversation with a good friend without the stuffiness & self importance of most medical practitioners. I will buy her books.
Loooved Emma!!! Thank you for bringing up these very real and important issues women experience in our society 💛
Great podcast! Such valuable content! I loved dr Gemma, so down to earth, unassuming. I need her book. Thank you Rich for bringing such amazing people to your podcasts 😊
Love your podcast! thank you so much for empowering knowledge you and yours guests share with the viewers!
Thank you for all the information. Enjoyed every minute.
Another great one Rich!! Thank you!! love what your doing!
Great conversation! A few clarifications about the statements made in this episode about Endometriosis: Endo is not actually the lining of the uterus that is found outside of the uterus, it's cells SIMILAR to the uterine lining found outside of the uterus. This is a very important distinction. Also, Gemma talks about how ablation (the burning of the Endometriosis lesions) is a way to treat Endometriosis. Excision surgery by an Endometriosis specialist is the gold standard for actual TREATMENT of Endo, NOT ablation. Unfortunately with ablation, typically the endo will grow back and now an individual will have continuous scar tissue building up for the ablation in addition to their growing endo. If you have Endo, I have so much compassion for you. Please also do your research to find an actual Endometriosis specialist who knows the difference between an ablation and an excision surgery.
I don't feel like I'm going to learn anything but I may be surprised. I just like the two of you and want to hear you tell me all the good things I already know about why a plant-based diet is the best diet for people.
That resonates with me.
Love that you have Gemma on. So excited to listen in.
Interesting fact, is if you delve into recepe books on different countries, you start making delicious meals and don't even realise your not eating meat, one worth a peak is Otto Lingi, you can basically introduce taste that replaces meats.
Already looking fwd to the next time Dr. Newman visits your podcast!
This interview is amazing!! Wow! I'm impressed with her Knowledge. So much of what she's saying seems familiar and she's right on the money.
Excellent podcast! Thank you.
Excellent interview worth every minute!🤗❤️
Thank you Rich for your work on with your amazing podcasts and thank you Dr Gemma for your work. My leaving dairy really really improved my period pain.
i had Ovarian cysts then Fibroids (unbeknown to me that op was end of me having kids - thanks to MRI - Manchester UK) so boyfriend at time had a kid behind my back i am plant based now and stronger and loving myself and life. it is so irritating what we do not know! like since lockdown i just found out that all women get menopause. i just thought it had bypassed me. i swear knowlege is power! i am 50 odd and just getting menopause symptoms which lead me to going Vegan and i love it. that you both so much.
Phenomenal podcast. Great discussion about fibroids.
Two titans! Loved Dr Gemma's book
I’m a biologist who has had lots of chemistry and biochemistry. In regards to the oil debate such as olive oil or coconut oil, she is more concerned about constituents in oil such as polyphenols when the real problem is the insolubility of the oil, in regards to heart disease. Sure the saturated fat has a bent structure to it and this bent appearance also has something called steric hindrance and these qualities cause more blockage potential… But even the less steric energy has the ability to block by virtue of it’s insolubility, in combination with its inflammation. Does she not realize the inflammation plus thick blood is a toxic mess?
Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation!
Absolutely inspiring. Thank you 🌺
Absolutely Beautiful ❤. Thank you so so much!!🙏
Invite Dr. Michael Klaper :) He is an amazing vegan doctor with 40 years of experience.
Loved the interview. 🙂
Agree, he’s amazing to listen to.
My periods’ pain was at the delivery pain. Now eating only plants is less heavy, but still there
Excellent interview. The grandmother hypothesis is especially interesting. Something I hadn't come across before. Love Dr Newman.
Very informative podcast. Before this video was over, I purchased both of Dr. Newman’s books.
I was expecting the hot flashes, which were no fun, but my god the joint pain was a surprise - utterly staggering. Fortunately my doc was ok with putting me on HRT because I follow a plant based diet and have low cholesterol, etc.
Yes! I have severe joint pain. Who knew?! 🤷🏼♀️
Very carefully thought through questions showing real support for a good understanding of menopausal issues
Thank you, both!
Wow. Such amazing information. Well done!
Looks like this is going to be another great one! Excited to dive in :)
❤❤❤❤thank you for this valuable information….so with you as a yogi,wholistic lifestyle coach working with women to gain their health…so grateful!
Thank you Dr. Gemma for representing and bringing awareness to women's health issues and the advantages of a plant-based diet specifically for women... and especially on a more male-centric channel :)
Such an informative interview
Thank you Dr. Gemma!
I follow Gemma, she’s wonderful!
Great episode, once again. I enjoyed advice for transitioning to the vegan lifestyle when you’re new to it And wonderful philosophical advice on living with a partner that does not share your values/outlook. Thank you. Namaste 🙏🏻
1:34:00 is pure gold. Such wisdom!
Thank you! Well Balanced 🌿🌸
SOOOO Helpful. Thank you. Perhaps you could have a guest to talk about sugar/carbs bad, saturated fat good.
Very informative. Thank you from Orlando Florida.
Great conversation!
🌱 Thank you for sharing 💚
I know being completely plant based for a month cleaned up a lot of hormone/menstruation problems for me. So grateful for that.
I adore you both! Much love. ❤❤
Great interview 🏆👍🏻😊
My whole life i suffered through heavy amd so painful period cramps i mean "nausea, fieber, vomiting and sometimes excess bowl movements for the last 24 years of my 37 years) I went plant based since last year October and in the month of march I didn't realise I had my period until I woke up, I normally start to suffer 2 days before my period starts and then had a 7 days period and will suffer until the 7th day..and here I was early morning in march feeling woozy a little bit and right there sitting on the loo I realised I had started my period..and didn't realise it until June that it was due to my being plant based..so yes I am one of those who benefitted in that area❤
A really important conversation
Thank you!
Great interview, I never thought that women go through all this oppressive things.
Gemma is a beautiful soul 💖
I got a little too excited to hear my home county, Devon, get a mention! 💚 Sadly, Earthling Ed’s chippy isn’t down here - but we did visit it recently when I ran the Brighton marathon. It was the perfect place for a post-marathon treat and if you do end up visiting London Rich, Brighton isn’t too far away and well worth a visit 👍
love love love this
Okay you just introduced to my new favorite person Rich!
