Her sister Helen's story of reversing diabetes:
discoveringthewordofwisdom.co...
Margie began her Plant-based journey nearly 10 years ago when her gym coach commended her for trying to get healthy, but told her exercise was not the way to lose weight. She nearly dropped her 5-lb weights on her toes as they suddenly felt like 50 pound weights… “Why am I struggling through this if this is not what I need to do to lose weight??” she thought. The gym coach continues. “See me after class if weight-loss is your goal.”
Margie had struggled with weight her entire life, known as “thunder-thighs” as a child among her peers. She tried every diet out there, including most well-known programs. All helped her lose some weight, but nothing sustained the losses. After struggling with health issues including trigeminal neuralgia, fibromyalgia, cluster migraines, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, myofascial pain syndrome, Chronic Fatigue, and going through some 20+ major surgeries, she became desperate for help. Her final year of teaching was done with the help of a walker. She knew her prescription coverage would be impacted when she turned 65 and her 16+ prescriptions could cost thousands of dollars a month. So at the age of 64 she decided to join the gym for the first time in her life. She hoped to be healthier in one year’s time.
Her gym coach became her plant-based mentor as she learned a new plan to eat for health. Join her as she shares the journey of what she discovered in that year. Margie cares for her developmentally disabled autistic sister who found her type 2 diabetes was cured eating only plants. Her sister’s child-like responses to her plant-eating journey will be shared as well.
Margie has been passionate about Emergency preparedness for most of her life. She and her husband, Jim, have been active with numerous fire departments as CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) volunteers as well as active HAM radio operators, assisting during community events and natural disasters. Margie has presented Emergency Preparedness church and community workshops for many years and is happy to share what she has learned, particularly with regard to what food items to include in your emergency kit evacuation bag.
My little grandson at 4 asked me the same thing and now that he is 5, and I decided to get healthy. This guest is such an Inspiration. I am 66 and have morbid obesity and Diabetes with CKD. I have been heavy my entire adult life. Grew up in Tx on Meat, and fried foods. I'm really struggling but I want to get off insulin. I just started listening to you on UA-cam. She is encouraging, especially when she says what I've known for years. It took a long time to get this way, and I need to be patient. I Struggle with standing and preparing meals. I use a crockpot a lot.
Great video and super for you for what you have archived. If you ever should get week and can't keep the weight off, check out the Carnivore Diet. If you do that for a month or so, you can get back on track very easily. You can certainly be proud of yourself. Keto diet is also good because it teaches you what foods to avoid not for weight loss per se, but for life long health.
@@Gesundheit888I agree wholeheartedly. Carnivore is so easy because you can eat until satiety and never feel hungry. I mostly do keto but a few times a year do Carnivore for 3-4 weeks at a time. I also mostly eat OMAD but occasionally want to eat more frequently, like during the holidays or on special occasions, and then I do 18/6 intermittent. I don't know why people think its so hard...make up your mind and just do it. It's will power more than hunger.
LOVED this lady! Beautiful and inspiring 🥰 I’m 67 and went wfpb in August. Have autoimmune disorders and fibromyalgia and I have hope after hearing her story 🙏 Love you Chef AJ 💜
Yes I relate I did Pilates for bout 10 yrs, then got fibro, arthritis bladder pain syndrome, chronic fatigue to mention a few, it all seemed to come on at once, that was discouraging after yrs of excercise, but as you KNOW I'm sure, fibro makes u pretty sore with minimal exercise ..so u gotta be careful or in bed for days..i have back and neck problems also.But the depression going from 5 days a week of Pilates a hr a day, till getting disability for bladder and all pain, I do what I can THOU as far as stretching and moving, but with constant pain, and no pain meds from my dr, it's hard.
What a great story. I have 15 days into plant based diet. I am 79 and her story keeps me hopeful.
This was one of the best interviews I have seen! She is so inspiring! Loved her!
I just loved this video! Margie Burton has inspired me so much. I've never seen such a radiant, glowing, feminine, poised, polished woman like Margie in her early 60s, let alone at 72. I wish The Starch Solution has been around sooner. My mother went through the Hell of the damned the way Margie did, with NO HELP but toxic prescriptions from idiot doctors. She suffered so much, and died at 72. This is a remarkable story of transformation and recovery. Thank you AJ and Margie, you two are saving lives every day. ❤
I'm 58 almost 59 and I worry it's too late for me. You really inspired me, Margie! I've been vegan for about a year and a half, but haven't been eating healthy enough. The new year is a great time to start! Thank you!
Not too late!! Good on you for your committment! Worth it all the way around!
Only too late if you don’t start!
@@CHEFAJ Thank you ❤
@@DoyuLoveMe Thank you!
Congratulations Margie, you are an inspiration! Happy, Healthy New Year! Thank you Chef AJ for this interview ❤
What a lovely lady, so articulate and thoughtful in every thing she says.
I actually cheered when she held up the forks over knives video! I am so happy for her! And so grateful to the person who directed her toward that video. It changed my life too!
Wow Margie’s story is exactly what I needed to hear today so thank you for your great inspiration!
relating to weight struggles, Margie's interview resonated with my own journey. Aspect Health played a role, offering personalized plans for a healthier lifestyle. Margie's inspiring shift to a plant-based diet echoes my own positive experience with dietary changes. her commitment and tips like carrying air-fried potatoes are relatable and empowering. grateful for real stories promoting health transformations.
Love her calm energy. She seems like such a classy lady.
This is such a wonderful interview. I know this works. Whether they believe it or not it WAS divine intervention. There are no coincidences. I am happy for you!
The sweetest part was her husband saying he’ll eat the same way to make it easier for her🩷
Good and very loving man.
Sure wish my husband would do the same….
I hope in time he comes around for you Cherlsmail ❤️
My husband said the same: I would be vegan for 5 days to make your journey easier 😊
My husband also supports me in a similar way. What a sweet man and a blessing ❤
Love your story! I am my own worst enemy and just need to follow through. Thank you for the encouragement ❤
One of your best interviews! So inspiring! I’ve been following you Chef AJ for several years!!
What an incredible interview! So much great information! I needed this! Thank you Margie and thank you Chef AJ!
One of your best interviews ! Thank you!
I love these interviews! You know all the right questions to ask and are so encouraging to all of us, AJ! You are a delight to listen to, as are your guests. Thank you so much! Louise J
Thank you so much for coming on and sharing your story Margie. I needed to hear this today and you have inspired me.
Thank you AJ .That was such an inspiring show. I hope to see her back on with you and Dr. McDougal on New Years with her sister Helen and perhaps even her husband 🥔🥦🍎🍋🙌🏻
She is a gem. I love how she cares for her sister.
Really enjoyed this one. There is a gentle and compassionate vibe over this interview. Both of you 💚🙏🏼 Keep going everyone and stay grateful.
God bless you, Margie.♥️ Your story is a lot like mine. I'm also 72 and am now plant based. Sooo happy to feel better and be thinner and healthier. Thank you and AJ!
I’m 55, about 35 lbs over weight and a junk food vegan. Thanks for the inspiration.
Fabulous interview! Margie is lovely and so inspiring 😊!
This is such a wonderful interview AJ. Of course all your interview are fabulous, but this is one I'll watch more than once, and share for sure! It is irritating that the magazine kind of sabotaged the message a little by not asking for the BEST recipes from the person they were featuring.
Thank you both for this delightful interview❣
What a wonderful story. Margie is gracious, a true gem, genuine inspiration. Great interview!
I was on the cover of Woman's World too and they did the same thing to me as they did with Margie about creating their own recipes and not using mine. I will always be bothered by that. Anyway, great story- what an amazing transformation!!
Such an inspiring story from Margie! Thanks for featuring her Chef AJ - we can take control of our health at any age ❤
I gave up animal meat as a teenager and am 63 now. I did eat occasional fish, eggs and cheese and no dairy since forty - so 23 years. Now I think I will go back to total plant based after watching this. I have had the Calcium Heart Scan done twice now 10 years apart and both were ZERO - meaning NO cardiovascular plaque whatsoever. I am so very pleased. So hopefully in 10 years at 73 I will get ZERO again. This was a great story.
Very inspiring story, thank you Margie and Chef AJ.
I love your bubbly friendly demeanor, AJ. You light up the screen...I bet you light up any social event. Happy New Year 2024 my dear
Saying no to food that harms you and a resounding 'YES' to yourself, your wellbeing which eminates out to all around you, blessing them with all the possibilities of a lighter and longer life. Thank you both, you both made me feel that I was 'around the table' with you. Love conquers all. From Nicola in Oxford
Wonderful interview. Very inspiring. Best to both of you.
Wow. I’m not even 10 minutes into this and already things from her childhood sound so much like mine. I remember getting called thunder thighs too. I am looking forward to hearing the rest of her story. The before and after picture looked amazing.
Thankyou Margie for your inspirational story. Your pictures are going up on my vision board to let me see that women can lose substantial amounts of excess weight even over 60 years old. After lots of "fails" as other weight loss attempts have stopped working for me as I've gotten older I'm just getting everything together to start next Monday! "Chomping at the bit" to get started! I haven't felt this hopeful about fixing my weight in years!
Awww. Dr Goldner! 😢What a treasure she is. What an amazing woman and the strength she has in this deepest dark time.... she cares so much for people while dealing with loss. What a blessing to all.
Congratulations on your success and the way you have touched so many others!❤
What a beautiful person! Thank you for sharing such pearls of wisdom for health and longevity! Its so important to act before it’s too late! Every person has an expiry date- extend yours and live well!
Such an inspiring story from a lovely lady. Much love from Spain ❤️
Margie's story is inspiring and relatable. I can relate as I started an SOS whole foods plant based diet at age 64 (this month is my 2 year anniversary). I have to admit that I slipped into the pleasure trap (did not have meat, but sugar and processed foods slipped in) over the holidays, but am now back to being committed to this way of eating! I live in the New York area and wish that I had as many options for connecting with plant based people and eating at vegan restaurants as you do out there. Many thanks for all you do. Your books, especially Secrets to Ultimate Weight Loss, have been my guides.
Replay❤. Loved re-watching this so much.
I’m putting tatars in my purse now! Thank you!!!
Loved this interview. So inspiring. Glad Ms Margie got a new lease on life.
Completely the opposite of what i have learned. No bread, no white flower products, no pasta, no potatoes, no carbs. Clean grass fed meat, whole fat dairy, a lot of vegetables, and some fruit. No sugar.
Great interview! Thank you Margie and AJ. I needed this. ❤
Sweet . So inspiring. Loved that her and her husband are healthier together. You look terrific. ❤❤
She is an inspiration. So frustrating that her son is a doctor, but too skeptical for his own good, as well as that of his patients.
Beautiful lady with a wonderful smile. Thank you for sharing your story.
This was a fabulous interview, what a beautiful guest . Thankyou 🥰
Chef AJ, Please have her sister on. Many people with autism have limited diets and I would love to hear about how Helen adapted to eating wfpb!
Second this!
Yes, I would love to see her sister and hear her story.
This is the video that I NEEDED to see. Thank you xx
I started dieting as it's given me knee issues back neck and hard to get up etc I'm exercising good but, still trying to eat right that's a struggle. I'm an emotional eater. I won't give up! You look great!
Hi, my name is Sharon Jackson and I lost 85 pounds and still working at it. I am diabetic, hypertension, and poio at the age of 4 years. It can be done, but you must be consistent and keep your head high!!
Brilliant. Thanks, Margie, for sharing your story. Bravo. Chef AJ, you're a terrific interviewer!
Plant-based all the way. I think many, many people have no idea how great they could feel. If they gave this kind of real food a chance, they'd never look back.
Omg! Great interview and very inspiring. I have fallen off the plant based wagon. I’ve gone from 165 lbs to 205 lbs over the past 2 years. I’m 5’7”. I love the tip about the air fried potatoes from when I get a craving.
Chef AJ, I’ve just gotta say, you are one of the friendliest people!! I so wish I could come to your meet ups!! You’re amazing😍🤗
I love u Chef AJ! U give hope & encouragement❤
This was so inspiring, thank you ladies❤
Oh my gosh Chef AJ. What a lovely woman. Loved her story. I wanted to hear more about her husband, how he likes eating this way, did he lose weight, what were his health benefits (if any). I believe she started to say, but you popped another question, and she got diverted. But I'm sure he's healthier than what he was, thanks to her. And wow, "why are you fat grandma?" Whoa! This video was such great timing. I'm one of those that has fallen off the wagon. I want so badly to get back on. Margie is such an inspiration, as is Janet, the Plant Powered Pedaler (love her too). 2024 has got to be my year. Wonderful video! Both Margie and Janet have achieved such great success. They are my heroes, as are you Chef AJ.
@@happycook6737 Oh my gosh - thank you so much.
Start now, I did and reversed my pre diabetes and high cholesterol. Pre diabetes was 6.3. Now 5.4, high cholesterol was 136 LDL now 93. My doctor was elated. Said seems as if she has to hire me as a spokesperson. This was October to January 4, 2024.
@@gennisparry4352 WOW. You really got such great results! I'm taking the plunge. I signed up for the 30-day Reboot; starts Tues., Jan 16. I'm scared I won't like the food. I printed out the menus and recipes. They don't look too bad. My big culprits are the SOS buggers. So, it will be interesting to see how my taste buds neuroadapt without them. Wish me luck!
I have fibromyalgia and this is such an inspirational true story, I’m 58 and I’ve given up hope, so I’m now getting motivated by this inspirational lady to eat this way. Thank you Chef AJ for all the great guests you have on the show.
What a positive, lovely lady! Thank you.
My niece and nephews got me to quit smoking when I was in my 20s I thank them all the time. Look into acupuncture for the headaches. My Mom had migraines from age 11 to 76 until I convinced her to get accupuncture she hasn’t had a migraine since she finished the accupuncture series (10 visits), 5 years ago,.
This interview was such a blessing! I suffer from many of the same issues she had. I went wfpb 10 months ago with Dr. G. And then found starch solution and forks over knives. My healing has been slow but I do feel better in my body. Hearing her daughter took 3 years to heal is encouraging to me! Thank you. Would love to hear from the rest of the family...daughter, sister ect. Thanks Chef AJ for all you do. Happy New Year ❤
Agreed! How wonderful her husband supported her in that way. The doctor as well! I love lovely people!
Thank you what an inspiration. Wonderful.
Chef AJ and Marggie what a comfort to hear your stories...loved the teeth one as i am facing this conumdrum now and feeling sneaky about hiding it! so honesty is now my goal xxx love the mask idea too LOL xx n
I like this story! Gives me hope. I'm 47 and weights up and in perimenopause. It sucks!
Forks over knives is fantastic!
Could Margie Burton also make all the regular recipes she uses as a staple available and share them through your channel, please?
Excellent! Very inspirational!
Another great transformation story!
UNBELIEVABLE congratulations
I am 71 yrs old and have been plant based for 9 years and have never felt better. At the beginning I lost 29 lbs, so went down to 9 st 10 lbs. But, even though I am still plant based, I am now up to 11 st 2 lbs. The problem is I love chocolate and even though I only eat plant based chocolate, it isn’t healthy! So plant based foods can still be unhealthy, you just have to be careful. I can’t stand being overweight - I’m only 5’ 2” with a small frame and used to be a professional dancer so I now need to take control and get back to feeling ‘light’ again!! Thank you, your video is so motivational!! ❤
Fantastic story
That was an inspiring video, thanks to you Chef AJ and your guest Margie.
How do you keep looking younger Chef AJ? Your skin is glowing. Happy New Year! 🎉
Wow, thank you❤️
Great interview 👍
Thank you, Chef AJ, for this inspiring interview. It helps a lot for my health!❤
I really want my mother to try the WFPB lifestyle. She was slender all her life (even after 3 kid) until she went through perimenopause. She is 69 now and has gained weight through the middle and has at leasttripled her breast size. I am so concerned for her health and even breast cancer. I'm in my second year post menopause and have maintained my weight effortlessly on a WFPB diet. I switched from a vegetarian to a WFPB diet in 2019. I have mentioned the health benefits, but don't know how to get her to switch. She loves her sweets. She has always made me and my vegan daughter special dishes, but she still prepares the SAD ones for herself and everyone else. She always loves the food I make. My Mom and my daughter are my 2 best friends and I want to have her to be around and healthy for as long as possible.
Still watching but want to say that in 1980 my Mom got Trigeminal neuralgia and a neurologist sent her to a hospital where either with electricity or alcohol injection (unsure) paralysed that nerve and she was pain free thereafter.
Thank you Margie now I know it's not to late ❤
I'd love all the recipes for the food discussed tonight. I feel closer to changing my eating habits.
Just try it Leslie- you will be amazed!
She looks absolutely stunning! And how amazing that her skin was flexible enough so that it didn't leave excess skin behind after the weight loss
I was always a big girl and I was told i needed to loose weight. My sister and my aunt told me about intermittent fasting...well i was 247lb now im 215lb on the fasting...and im continued fasting for the rest of my life...i just stop eating at 7pm...exercise a little and stop eating junk food
Whenever I eat plants, I get thyroid issues and also huge purple eye bags. Once I started eating meat and fruit, that's when my health turned around. I wish I could eat just plants, but can't do it.
Congratulations Maggie Burton. 👏👏
She seems to have LESS LOOSE SKIN than most people who lost 100 pound...
Is it the green smoothies and all the nutrition???
Chef AJ I’ve met you, you danced with my husband :) a few moons ago. I just want to implore please make your videos shorter and more digestible (no pun intended), the length, lack of editing puts people off who need this message! Thank you.
My shows are LIVE not prerecorded.
The care she has taken of her sister is wonderful. Learning to care for yourself too is the hardest thing but we must all do this. ❤❤ Well done to you all.
Great transformation, and great body positivity movement, gain the health back, eat right plant food, not eat life
I loved this SO much!! ❤
Such an inspiration!!!👏👏👏👏👍👍👌👌👌👌❤❤🌹🌹
Carnivore worked for me!
I'm glad you found your way.
addicted to the same foods lifetime change is so HARD but it should be done....food addiction is not handled well by society
I love the two of you together and I really enjoyed the show where we got to meet Margie’s sister!
I have an adult daughter who is also intellectually disabled and I’m praying that she gets the same results with her weight! 🙏
I have ordered my books and anxious to get started. I'm 65 and I keep thinking I need to just eat carnivore or keto and that will fix me but I'm a blood type A and according to the book Eat for Your Blood Type I'm a vegetarian at heart. I could live on potatoes I love them.
May I ask what blood type you are Margie? If you ready this..
Back in those days we were a much,much thinner society. Look at today’s children compared to back when we were children and it was a vast difference.
I am a little over a week being “back on the wagon”. I already feel better! I just felt drawn to watch this interview and now I know why. I have trigeminal neuralgia, headaches, migraines, diabetes, high blood pressure, overweight, the list goes on. In just a week, my blood pressure has gone down 20 points! And I lost a few pounds! I’m 60 years old. This interview gives me such hope that I can finally do it and stick with it! Thank you, Margie and Chef AJ! My new goal- just don’t quit!💚
I was a vegetarian for about 25 years Now vegan mostly plant based for nearly 6 years. When I was a vegan for about a year, I said to my husband I don't want to have dead animals in our house anymore. He said I had better join you which he has done. He doesn't have a problem with his weight but he did lose weight. The only thing he does like is bread and chocolate. Bit difficult for me because I love bread and chocolate. so do find it hard sometimes.
Awesome that you did this for yourself and health. I am 67 and of course over weight, but I really don't think there is any way that I can eat only plant based foods. I love my fish, chicken, and other meats. 😊
Thank you Chef AJ, I really appreciated this video! I at one time was doing plant based & had lost some weight, but I have since go off just plant based & have added back some animal products dairy, fish and even a little chicken. I have gained back my weight. 😟 My husband & I both try to eat mostly plant based , but obviously its not enough as we both are not loosing. I am really trying to get back into the plant based way of eating. It is Very hard when all of your friends eat the way you are trying to avoid. I will try bring something healthy & be more prepared and have something on hand 👍
What a beautiful lady you can tell she’s have Jesus God continue blessing us 🙏 thanks you chef AJ for everything you do you are amazing ❤when you coming to Cape Coral 🪸 area please 🙏♥️😘
