I was lucky to visit a Greek home. They showed me the olives on their branches. Our host squeezed the olives with his finger, and shared the fresh olive oil with us.. what a joy.
Excessive sugar can also be addicting. I struggled for years with a sweet tooth. Then last July I came down with Covid. I got very sick, and both my blood sugar and blood pressure got very high. I ended up not being able to eat hardly at all for almost two weeks. After I recovered, I was able to cut out sweets and pastries completely from my diet. Although my strength and stamina was greatly reduced due to the covid, but I have been feeling better otherwise.
Sugar causes insulin resistance , after your liver cannot process sugar as quick as you consume more and more .This results in metabolic illhealth , which leaves us susceptable to disease like covid.Utube has videos of Robert Lustig , Endocrinologist , wrt Sugar resulting in Susceptability to chronic diseases. Its the reason Countries with Obesity epidemics( USA/ Britain /Europe) had excessive covid fatalities and , conversely , why Countries without obesity epidemics (African Countries) had low covid mortality rates .
I have been sick with covid for the past 2 weeks and I literally fasted for the 1st week because I was so sick, I couldn't eat. During that time, I stopped drinking coke, coffee, lattes... I stopped my addiction to painkillers (opioids), I stopped my sugar addiction. Now, I can only eat fruits and veggies and can only drink water. I have no desire for pain pills or sugar anymore. Covid was a blessing in disguise. But like you, I am so weak. Did you ever restore your strength and energy? If so, how?
I was just learning French and read Le Mal du Sucre... it explained that sugar became a cheap filler to a lot of canned foods. I had trouble to quit sugar but am glad I did. btw it seemed that foods began to taste sweeter!
Totally fascinating to listen to someone who is so knowledgeable and passionate . I could watch him share his wisdom for days. Just ordered one of his books. This doc is the real deal. Thank you very much.

A well presented and thought provoking subject. Along with many I have over indulged on junk foods and booze and do suffer with ailments. All of which I do manage with great difficulty by controlling what, where, portion size and when I eat. The best 2 pieces of advice I can pass on is 1. Learn to cook and 2. Stay informed. Lastly we should all become organic gardeners!!
I always get dismayed when I see a very obese person coming out of a store with cases of diet pop. And the other thing is current hollywood type will say ( usually a woman actress ) say " Oh I don't cook at all" "Usually implying that they have very important position at some work place.)
I always read food and drink labels had a good friend in NYC show me how to look at what Im putting in my body. Why we cant handle sugar and chemicals back in 2005. He we are today. Thank you Dr. Li and Dr. Chatterjee
Would be great if there were notes with timestamp, then I could share summaries with my very busy loved ones. Some of whom are buying a lot of processed food due to lack of time. Thank you for a wonderful podcast, and what a brilliant speaker and Teacher.
I am 59 I don’t do sweet I know Much of what he talked about I always thought I ate heathy Went to the gym 4 last year I was told I have a brain tumor It has taken my Heáth I don’t Know why or how I ended up This way I have always been interested in Heáth where I went Wrong I am not sure 🤔 I have The Doctor book it’s a great book I pray everyone on here will be in good health or be healed
So sorry for your suffering. Perhaps you could get in touch with Dr Li to find out how to shrink that tumor. You might also check out a man named Dr. Joe Dispenza. He's written about how he cured himself despite the medical world telling him he'd never walk again. Blessing❤
I grew up in the 60’s this information is what my moms best friend told us. In the over 50 years I knew her she rarely got sick. She knew her system so well she could immediately eat or drink something that would take care of a potential problem before it could take root in her body. She grew her own food, foraged for what she didn’t grow and taught me so much. She had a phrase that I have followed, “Use what God gave ya not what Man made ya”
My dad just doctor us up coz we can't afford to go see a doctor. My dad would grind up some herbs mix with water, and that took care of our tummy aches.
I recently visited a restaurant with no vegan options except for roasted potatoes. I ordered, and the chef came out to ask if I was OK with the oil having been used for their veal dishes. I had no idea they reuse oil used in cooking meats in my vegan dishes. Now, I ask every time. The chef told me he would use fresh oil for my potatoes... Hope he did! Thank you for this video -- really helps me navigate through all of the conflicting information.
You are a great interviewer. You go straight to the point and allow your guests to expand on their expertise. If I may make a suggestion, we would highly appreciate it if you could split your videos into chapters (e.g., a chapter for every question your make).
I like the format and the flow of each answer from an expert. One question and answer would be limiting for the expert whose breadth and depth of knowledge we can benefit from. If there is too much for you take in and remember at one sitting go back over the video and summarise key points. Often the interviewer offers a transcript of the talk so all you need to do is include the expert’s explanation in each answer within the transcript. You will be reinforcing your understanding of the material and have a future reference you can quickly search through rather than rewatching the video.
@@stevewatson3870 I fell asleep and woke up and it was going on and on, also maybe soften the botox accent a little bit, for us that learned american english.
31:01 I do reuse my olive oil 😉 I make soap! So lucky to live in Spain and only cook with the best non filtered olive oil, with the same scent and taste as the one my grandma's did ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you to you both! There are way too many medical experts out there marketing diet plans (and have built empires on marketing thier products) and conflicting data. Dr. Li is the only scientist out there who shares information for free. Every culture has wonderful cuisine and wisdom that we all can share.
Actually after listening to a lot of these expert doctors, honestly what I am starting to believe is that I (and those of us lucky enough to have) hippietype moms and grandmas always taught us: sweets are reserved to special occasiona like birthdays only, foods in their natural form are best (processed foods rarely, like monthly, not 5 days a week). Organic or nongmo is better than not. Look on EWA list for the best 15 fruits and veg with least pesticides). Cook more. Use little if any sugars.
@@danacampbell2960 WHOLE fruit that nature created is fine because it contains the fiber and other constituents that are needed for your body to properly process the sugars. It's "refined" and "processed" sugars that are to be avoided.
Yup! Three cups of green tea daily… included in the tea is turmeric powder, fresh ground black pepper and a shot of lemon juice. A little strange at first but now love it. ❤️
Read your book " The 4 pillar plan" and Dr Li's " Eat to beat disease ". They have completely changed my life. With a lot of trial and errors on eating healthy, I have finally reached a turning point. Weight starts to pour off and I've come off a lot of medications like statins and betablockers. Although I have a long way to go weight wise, I can already feel the benefits of a wholefood plan. I have more energy, better stamina for exercise and my gut feels in balance. I'm losing between 1 to 2 kgs a week now thanks to yourself and Dr Li. So thank you for opening my eyes to Food, Sleep, Exercise and Relaxation. Please keep up the awesome work your doing on changing peoples lives for the better. Cheers from Scotland
With these longer videos you're able to get good quality, deeper information across. These days we spent so much time receiving dumbed down, overly simple short bites of information that is often worse than no information. So, please keep up the longer videos and interviews
Avocado oil is fine on its on. YES it has a high smoking point, BUT its EXTREMELY toxic cooking with avocado oil. It oxidise more so than other oils with heat. DO NOT cook with avocado oil
Hello doctor for a brilliant show. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s in 2019. Stress played a huge part. Was told my thyroid is not working, have to go on meds. Did not feel better. Was on for about a year. Weaned off and reverted back to wfpb, exercise, sunlight etc, haven’t looked back. Been a natural health consultant. Just lost my way a bit…🤩😁🥳
Stevia has been shown to disrupt the microbiome and spike insulin. If not carefully shopped for in the grocery store, it's easy to purchase a GMO version, and I would expect most processed foods with stevia added to be GMO. I've noticed a trend in influencers having difficulty letting go of their favorite processed foods. Stevia has been shown to be *not* okay, unless in whole food plant form (like adding a sprig of mint to your tea, we can add a sprig of stevia, as well).
Very Long and drawn out but good ...... detailed and understandable !!! I wish you’d just list the best foods all at once somewhere ! Fish 🐠 oil, pepper 🌶 Turmeric, kiwi, tomatoes,
As a private health chef the first question I ask is what the client likes to eat. Then I start the creative process with those suggestions in mind. Thank you for making the point!
First off I want to say I don't have a spleen or a gallbladder. they've been gone since 1998 and I have chronic inflammation. Foods in my body cause inflammation but the ones that causes the most inflammation is sugar and wheat and dairy. and it affects my heart the most. yes if it wasn't for how it affects my heart I would go ahead and eat it. but as soon as I have consumed these products my heart starts beating a lot faster and often times I end up with tachycardia and irregular heartbeat. So I have had to reduce the intake of these foods substantially. The more I take these foods out of my diet the less inflammation I have the more my heart behaves.❤
Have you tried intermittent fasting, its done me a power of good. I fast once a week for 23 hours, last meal on Tuesday 6pm until Wed 5pm, just drink water throughout the day. Its does amazing things for your body. Cleans out your whole system and gives much needed rest to your liver etc.
@@ShaunPeterKelly hello Kelly I just noticed your message today two weeks since you wrote it. Anyway yeah I have been watching Dr Eric berg. He is wonderful naturopath doctor and his ideas are very good. I don't know if you have followed him? Yes I will do more of it. I am working on going longer periods of time without food because I do feel better and I do notice my body starts to cleanse within 20 hours of not eating. I just need to be able to go longer than that.😜😏☺️
If only someone would tell these guys about how to teach. Give me a summary somewhere. I'm a vegetarian. Do I need to watch this? Are these guys saying any more than eat fruit and veg?
If you can’t make time to educate yourself on health. You’ll have plenty of time to watch this when your lying in hospice dying, be it too late, oh well, your too busy now.
The past 1.5 years has taught us alot about the medical system... My father was a DR when the hippocratic oath was sacred. Thank you Dr Chatterjee and Dr Li.
Gut health is very overlooked by a lot of physicians. They do all this bloodwork but they never address gut health, unless someone has serious issues. Hopefully this changes
@@billyballsup2685 Probiotics and prebiotics. Asparagus, plain yogurt with no sugar, kefir, kimchi, pickles, and sauerkraut. Also, try to lower processed sugars to a minimum, just eat fruits. In just weeks you will notice a massive difference all-around, as gut health controls your entire body.
When it comes to oil, I'll cook with lard or bacon fat or even butter if cooking salmon. On occasion ghee. I have a lot of trouble believing that the olive oil in the supermarkets all over the world can actually come from the olive. What's more, I've always been under the impression that it shouldn't be used for cooking with as it has a low temp tolerance. Only for salads etc.
Same here..just don't use too much and it taste so much better, stay away from the bad oils! Only certain olive oils are good. Dr Li talks about them...
I always tried to cook my own meals for my family. We always tried to keep busy with different activities, sports, etc. we did drink sodas but we didn’t know any better back 30 years ago. Now, I noticed that not very many cook their own meals. I still do. Our kids are skinny. We are slightly overweight maybe 10-15 lbs, probably due to getting older and slower metabolism. We stay away from processed foods, our kids “kinda”, since they have their own families now. I totally agree, you eat right and stay active you’ll be fine.
I love all your videos Dr. William Li ... Thanks a lot for all you Teache us.... I would like to know how can I here hour videos on Portuguese??? If it os possible
I just started drinking olive oil every day, a brand that gets their olives from morocco so there’s plenty of polyphenols. Upping my vitamin D 3 to 10,000 IU a day.
Hope it’s not Gundry’s Olive Oil. That was lab tested and found to be not fit for human consumption. Get your Olive Oil direct from small batch farms. Or look into an Olive Oil Club.
My pahaRi (hill) maid brings me fresh turmeric from her field , and grinds it fresh for me every night. I think it’s kept me alive despite my serious lung disease.
Most amazing bit is 'my choice is my responsibility', we can't keep blaming companies. Rarely do we hear this from anyone but the wise ones.🙏🏼 Thank you Dr William Li
With Tea and Milk , I would disagree , the interview maybe implied that tea and milk not healthy ? I know lots of 80 ➕ grannies of ww2 generation .on 6 plus cups a day 🤣 The difference is they ate less processed food , cooked much more homecooking,, and often just more active , walking to shops , gardening , cleaning ! Just busy . Compare tea and milk to a can of Coke or fruit juice drink ! , then tea and milk becomes a SUPERFOOD, PERSPECTIVE also important :) great interview lots of great stuff 👍 🙂
Yes , yes , write the list of all the things I should or not do , and all the foods i should or not eat , just can't wait to memorize yours and million other advisers wisdom . Relax , slow down , take a deep breath
Omg when he was talking about crushing olives my mouth started to water. I didn't even try an olive until i was in my twenties and it was so out of the ordinary from anything my family ate I didn't like it. Now i absolutely love them. SO much. In fact I'm having some with my lunch today!!!
Ive never had a doctor ask me what foods I like to eat to better understand what may be happening inside of me. How do I find a primary physician like that (like you)?
In summary = avoid processed foods. Hard to do but we can try. Mostly due to the sugar / fructose (basically anything that spikes insulin). That Florida cardiologist dude (Pradip) you had on was also great. I remember from your TV show that ''2 slices of wholemeal bread spike your blood insulin more than a Snickers bar''
@@taradikoff123 if you eat fruit with the skin on like an apple, the skin is fibre and slows the digestion of the sugars, but if you drink apple juice, its just sugar , no fibre, i eat bananas but eat them before fully ripe, also eat a few walnuts or pistachios to help with some protein with the fruit, I'm 72 and never had insulin problems, hope this is a little help.
Fruits are poison . Full of fructose. Fiber doesnt help at all . I dont est plants or fruits since 2 years ago and never felt better. And lost 25 kilos. Lab test optimal . Fruits are for kids.
Dr William Li is Fantastic. He shares his knowledge wid so much Enthusiasm. His knowledge is so dwn to earth & at d same time science based. A rare combo indeed. A Huge SALUTE to Dr Li. 👍🙏🙏🙏
This is one of the most beneficial interviews that I have ever heard. Please keep up the good work. This information is life saving. Thank you Dr. Chatterjee!
We are hardwired to go after sugar, because so many holidays revolve around sweets. Christmas candy, Valentine's Day candy, Easter candy and the worst culprit Halloween candy. Then there are all the cereals marketed to kids. Yes, we have been hardwired since childhood. Not complaining about my childhood; just stating fact. Breaking the sugar addiction was hard, but I feel so much better for it.
You are hardwired for sweets by nature/ god, not by your childhood... Just saying... Sweet things, according to nature , taste good. That is how you are sort of programmed to avoid poisonous foods!
My Italian uncle says get rid of the Tomato skins! His Family takes the skins off before they become sauce. When they use raw tomatoes in food they make sure the tomato is ripe enough to easily peel. I haven’t eaten an unpeeled tomato in decades.
Good video. People say just push yourself away from the table but that’s not true. Weight loss begins in the grocery store, not at home. You just have to bypass the foods that you have no control over.
Dr. Rangan, If I live in the US, you will definitely be my Physician, but I am not, so I am very thankful that you have this kinds of discussions on your podcast, so many information out there it tends to get really confusing. but this really helps. especially on the Oil, and red meat subjects.. I want to thank you sincerely and I hope you continue to make quality Podcasts.
Bobby Parrish has a UA-cam Chanel, Flavcity that talks about ingredients in foods at some grocery foods. He also has an app for your phone “Bobby Approved” that scans labels and tells you about the ingredients.
Hello Dr Chatterjee. First of all thank you so much for your great videos and super interesting guests that you have on your podcasts. I have learnt a lot in just a few weeks thanks to you all. I have a suggestion for a future podcast, perhaps you could discuss the topic of combining healthy food with seasonal/local food? Personally, as someone who lives in the northern part of Europe, I try to always eat with the seasons and from the region I live in. Fruit like kiwi, guava, avocado, even tomato have often been recommended but I am reluctant to buy items that have been transported through half the world on cargo ships for me to eat. Avocado can also have environnemental repercutions, because ot the amount of water they require, deforestation etc. So while it might be great to consume these fruit when you live in all-year-round hot countries, in northern countries it might not be ideal if you're trying to eat healthy but also limit environnemental damage. It would be amazing to have someone tell us what winter foods are the healthiest or some tricks like making your own pickled food etc. I'm sure some winter vegetables have also been forgotten since we're able to get anything we like in any season now. . Just some "food for thought"! :)
Research 'seasonal vegetables near me'. Start composting, reuse or donate, instead of sending things to a dump. These things will contribute to the health on our planet more than you depriving yourself of healthy food.
I worked in a supermarket deli one time and I soon discovered that the "ruts" in the bottoms of my sneakers would be packed full with fat at the end of every night. At first, I couldn't imagine what was all over my floors when I got home, and what was on the matt in my car and I soon realized what it was. I also realized that while slicing all of these deli meats, this fat was floating around in the air and landing on the floor, my hair, my clothing and I was obviously also breathing it in. I loved the job and the customers but quit soon after I realized what I was breathing in by cutting all those meats all day. It was rather shocking.
Reading these b l o g s I am convinced that eating at home preparing my own food is the best way to go the stuff you buy in a restaurant is overpriced and not very healthy for the most part can't be lazy though convenience is one thing health is another
Video duration/length is just fines. Most of us choads are simply watching/listening at work or bullshitting in the yard anyway. Maybe during a long drive... these vids are perfect. Kudos.
About fish in batter from Fish and Chip shops in the UK - The batter easily comes off and we only eat the delicious fish inside. We buy the batter-fried fish because the grilled fish costs more. You are righht about the chips though - fried in oil that's changed once a day if you're lucky.
Milk was not used in tea until the English started getting tea from India & tea was added for nutritional benefits for workers but later became popular
Really enjoyed this - explained in really simple terms. Love learning about how different foods and drinks react with each other to produce various health benefits.
Interesting study re: the organic strawberries. Made me think of the "bug-bitten" teas that are grown in the mountains of Taiwan. They actually have a different taste profile than the same variety that has not been exposed to the bugs. Now I wonder if these teas might have a greater health benefit.
It is so true about the organic foods. I live in Northern California . I have friends who work in the almonds and they are heavily contaminated with chemicals. Then the shells are sold as cattle feed!!
I am Japanese I learned about nutrition in my elementary school home economics class..so most of Dr talking I already knew but I didn't know how dose it work to the body exactly so Thank you
A nice video! I do not eat yogurts, ice cream, do not drink coffee. Sometimes I buy cola with real sugar if I was lucky enough and found it on a shelf. I read food ingredients labels. I am a scientist. Food substitutes and chemicals especially unnecessary colorants and flavors scare me. A list of approved E numbers is longer and longer.

I like the format and the flow of each answer from an expert. One question and answer would be limiting for the expert whose breadth and depth of knowledge we can benefit from. If there is too much for you take in and remember at one sitting go back over the video and summarise key points. Often the interviewer offers a transcript of the talk so all you need to do is include the expert’s explanation in each answer within the transcript. You will be reinforcing your understanding of the material and have a future reference you can quickly search through rather than rewatching the video.

31:01 I do reuse my olive oil 😉 I make soap! So lucky to live in Spain and only cook with the best non filtered olive oil, with the same scent and taste as the one my grandma's did ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Dr. chatt for bringing Dr. Li to your podcast. What a brilliant Dr & how much simpler his explanations are. 🙏
Thank you to you both! There are way too many medical experts out there marketing diet plans (and have built empires on marketing thier products) and conflicting data. Dr. Li is the only scientist out there who shares information for free. Every culture has wonderful cuisine and wisdom that we all can share.
Loved that my beautiful island of Sardinia was mentioned 😀 ❤
Actually after listening to a lot of these expert doctors, honestly what I am starting to believe is that I (and those of us lucky enough to have) hippietype moms and grandmas always taught us: sweets are reserved to special occasiona like birthdays only, foods in their natural form are best (processed foods rarely, like monthly, not 5 days a week). Organic or nongmo is better than not. Look on EWA list for the best 15 fruits and veg with least pesticides). Cook more. Use little if any sugars.

Suzanne Diamond: Just eat what was created by nature and maintain the integrity of that ingredient. Don't eat processed food.
Does fruit count as sweets? Ik it's a better alternative to surgery sweets that are artificial but can you eat to much fruit?
@@danacampbell2960 WHOLE fruit that nature created is fine because it contains the fiber and other constituents that are needed for your body to properly process the sugars. It's "refined" and "processed" sugars that are to be avoided.
Indeed more organic and non GMO foods products are more likely betterfolliwing grandma 'longevity of life. So follow suit to live longer and healthy.
One of the very best podcasts about nutrition I’ve ever listened to - well done to both of you!
Excellent video thanks Doc. God bless your healing ministry
Organic is cheaper than chemo
And a lot less damaging.....speaking from experience.
TRUTH
True! Pay now or pay later with your health. It's always cheaper to prevent!
That’s what I say. Pay now or pay later.
For real! I went to free range eggs and organic chicken. Twice the price but health is priceless
Could you summarize what food to avoid? Thanks!
Dried fruits lose some of the volatile compounds when they are dried. Also, some producers coat the fruit with oil and sometimes sugar, too.
Yup! Three cups of green tea daily… included in the tea is turmeric powder, fresh ground black pepper and a shot of lemon juice. A little strange at first but now love it. ❤️
I wish he would talk about The Olive Oil Mafia
Read your book " The 4 pillar plan" and Dr Li's " Eat to beat disease ". They have completely changed my life. With a lot of trial and errors on eating healthy, I have finally reached a turning point. Weight starts to pour off and I've come off a lot of medications like statins and betablockers. Although I have a long way to go weight wise, I can already feel the benefits of a wholefood plan. I have more energy, better stamina for exercise and my gut feels in balance. I'm losing between 1 to 2 kgs a week now thanks to yourself and Dr Li.
So thank you for opening my eyes to Food, Sleep, Exercise and Relaxation. Please keep up the awesome work your doing on changing peoples lives for the better.
Cheers from Scotland
With these longer videos you're able to get good quality, deeper information across. These days we spent so much time receiving dumbed down, overly simple short bites of information that is often worse than no information.
So, please keep up the longer videos and interviews
Disagree. Way too long. Could summarize in 20 minutes.
Even shorter, not a lot of time
give us the meat and potato .....nothing else
Well said. Less time on cat videos more time on this ;)
I agree with you.
Best oils...
1. Avocado oil (for cooking at high heat)
2. Olive oil (for drizzling, dipping, cooking)
3. Coconut oil
4. Ghee (clarified butter, milk has been removed)
Organic, expeller pressed.
Yes! There's also camelina oil and algae oil (both ok with heat) and sacha inchi oil, with omega 3.. not common, found in some health stores or online
Beef tallow trumps any oil in my opinion
coconut oil is not healthy and i would imagine that ghee isnt either
Avocado oil is fine on its on. YES it has a high smoking point, BUT its EXTREMELY toxic cooking with avocado oil. It oxidise more so than other oils with heat. DO NOT cook with avocado oil
@@tbmcnation
That is outdated and incorrect information. Read the book by Udo Erasmus PhD, "Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill".
Replacing sugar with dates, raisins and figs has been life changing. I’d highly recommend you guys try the same

Hello doctor for a brilliant show. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s in 2019. Stress played a huge part. Was told my thyroid is not working, have to go on meds. Did not feel better. Was on for about a year. Weaned off and reverted back to wfpb, exercise, sunlight etc, haven’t looked back. Been a natural health consultant. Just lost my way a bit…🤩😁🥳
Stevia has been shown to disrupt the microbiome and spike insulin. If not carefully shopped for in the grocery store, it's easy to purchase a GMO version, and I would expect most processed foods with stevia added to be GMO. I've noticed a trend in influencers having difficulty letting go of their favorite processed foods. Stevia has been shown to be *not* okay, unless in whole food plant form (like adding a sprig of mint to your tea, we can add a sprig of stevia, as well).
Very Long and drawn out but good ...... detailed and understandable !!! I wish you’d just list the best foods all at once somewhere ! Fish 🐠 oil, pepper 🌶 Turmeric, kiwi, tomatoes,
Get the books
Thank you very much for all these wonderful and beneficial information Dr. Li and Dr. Chatterjee
As a private health chef the first question I ask is what the client likes to eat. Then I start the creative process with those suggestions in mind. Thank you for making the point!
Use Coconut to Oil Pull with, changed my life. Oil pulling book by Dr. Fife.
First off I want to say I don't have a spleen or a gallbladder. they've been gone since 1998 and I have chronic inflammation. Foods in my body cause inflammation but the ones that causes the most inflammation is sugar and wheat and dairy. and it affects my heart the most. yes if it wasn't for how it affects my heart I would go ahead and eat it. but as soon as I have consumed these products my heart starts beating a lot faster and often times I end up with tachycardia and irregular heartbeat. So I have had to reduce the intake of these foods substantially. The more I take these foods out of my diet the less inflammation I have the more my heart behaves.❤
Have you tried intermittent fasting, its done me a power of good. I fast once a week for 23 hours, last meal on Tuesday 6pm until Wed 5pm, just drink water throughout the day. Its does amazing things for your body. Cleans out your whole system and gives much needed rest to your liver etc.
Consider looking into Eat Right 4 your blood 🩸 type.
@@ShaunPeterKelly hello Kelly I just noticed your message today two weeks since you wrote it. Anyway yeah I have been watching Dr Eric berg. He is wonderful naturopath doctor and his ideas are very good. I don't know if you have followed him? Yes I will do more of it. I am working on going longer periods of time without food because I do feel better and I do notice my body starts to cleanse within 20 hours of not eating. I just need to be able to go longer than that.😜😏☺️
Great video. Very informative. Please include time stamps for those who don't have enough time. Thanks.
If only someone would tell these guys about how to teach. Give me a summary somewhere. I'm a vegetarian. Do I need to watch this? Are these guys saying any more than eat fruit and veg?
If you can’t make time to educate yourself on health. You’ll have plenty of time to watch this when your lying in hospice dying, be it too late, oh well, your too busy now.
The past 1.5 years has taught us alot about the medical system...
My father was a DR when the hippocratic oath was sacred.
Thank you Dr Chatterjee and Dr Li.

Always so helpful listening to Dr Li, he uses science but common sense also
Gut health is very overlooked by a lot of physicians. They do all this bloodwork but they never address gut health, unless someone has serious issues. Hopefully this changes
The gut is 80% of our immune system.
I'd like to know what to eat to have good gut health.
@@billyballsup2685 Probiotics and prebiotics. Asparagus, plain yogurt with no sugar, kefir, kimchi, pickles, and sauerkraut. Also, try to lower processed sugars to a minimum, just eat fruits. In just weeks you will notice a massive difference all-around, as gut health controls your entire body.
@@extremelucky1 I haven't had sugar in my house in 30 years. A stint in jail taught me you don't need sugar.
@@billyballsup2685 that hits deep. I have never been to jail, but I grew up on the mean streets of Moscow and have been through that struggle.
Wow, Li is such a wonderful communicator.
When it comes to oil, I'll cook with lard or bacon fat or even butter if cooking salmon. On occasion ghee. I have a lot of trouble believing that the olive oil in the supermarkets all over the world can actually come from the olive. What's more, I've always been under the impression that it shouldn't be used for cooking with as it has a low temp tolerance. Only for salads etc.
Same here..just don't use too much and it taste so much better, stay away from the bad oils! Only certain olive oils are good.
Dr Li talks about them...
I would say that clean whole foods are best and avoiding anything with an ingredients list or nutrition label is a health conscious approach to food
What you say about covid vaccines
Like Dr Fuhrman says: the thing about food labels is that you should avoid foods that have labels.
I always tried to cook my own meals for my family. We always tried to keep busy with different activities, sports, etc. we did drink sodas but we didn’t know any better back 30 years ago. Now, I noticed that not very many cook their own meals. I still do. Our kids are skinny. We are slightly overweight maybe 10-15 lbs, probably due to getting older and slower metabolism. We stay away from processed foods, our kids “kinda”, since they have their own families now. I totally agree, you eat right and stay active you’ll be fine.
I love all your videos Dr. William Li ... Thanks a lot for all you Teache us.... I would like to know how can I here hour videos on Portuguese??? If it os possible
I just started drinking olive oil every day, a brand that gets their olives from morocco so there’s plenty of polyphenols.
Upping my vitamin D 3 to 10,000 IU a day.
Hope it’s not Gundry’s Olive Oil. That was lab tested and found to be not fit for human consumption. Get your Olive Oil direct from small batch farms. Or look into an Olive Oil Club.
Be sure to take vitamin k2 with your Vitamin d3.
My pahaRi (hill) maid brings me fresh turmeric from her field , and grinds it fresh for me every night. I think it’s kept me alive despite my serious lung disease.

Finally not just a doc but a good human being with a spiritual base ! Even Dr Chatterjee comes across as a person with deep empathy . Good work !
With Tea and Milk , I would disagree , the interview maybe implied that tea and milk not healthy ? I know lots of 80 ➕ grannies of ww2 generation .on 6 plus cups a day 🤣 The difference is they ate less processed food , cooked much more homecooking,, and often just more active , walking to shops , gardening , cleaning ! Just busy .
Compare tea and milk to a can of Coke or fruit juice drink ! , then tea and milk becomes a SUPERFOOD, PERSPECTIVE also important :) great interview lots of great stuff 👍 🙂
Yes , yes , write the list of all the things I should or not do , and all the foods i should or not eat , just can't wait to memorize yours and million other advisers wisdom . Relax , slow down , take a deep breath
Omg when he was talking about crushing olives my mouth started to water.
I didn't even try an olive until i was in my twenties and it was so out of the ordinary from anything my family ate I didn't like it.
Now i absolutely love them.
SO much.
In fact I'm having some with my lunch today!!!
Ive never had a doctor ask me what foods I like to eat to better understand what may be happening inside of me. How do I find a primary physician like that (like you)?
In summary = avoid processed foods. Hard to do but we can try. Mostly due to the sugar / fructose (basically anything that spikes insulin). That Florida cardiologist dude (Pradip) you had on was also great. I remember from your TV show that ''2 slices of wholemeal bread spike your blood insulin more than a Snickers bar''
So even fruits are a no go?,
@@taradikoff123 if you eat fruit with the skin on like an apple, the skin is fibre and slows the digestion of the sugars, but if you drink apple juice, its just sugar , no fibre, i eat bananas but eat them before fully ripe, also eat a few walnuts or pistachios to help with some protein with the fruit, I'm 72 and never had insulin problems, hope this is a little help.
@@wendyfreeman32 that does help. I don’t drink any pasteurized juice or anything like that. I only ever eat fresh fruits with skins
@@taradikoff123 👍👍😍
Fruits are poison . Full of fructose. Fiber doesnt help at all . I dont est plants or fruits since 2 years ago and never felt better. And lost 25 kilos. Lab test optimal . Fruits are for kids.
Ah, heated tomatoes with olive oil. Thank you for that info!

I live on the border of Umbria where the moriolo olives grow.The other very important point to look on the label is that the oil is "cold pressed"..

We are hardwired to go after sugar, because so many holidays revolve around sweets. Christmas candy, Valentine's Day candy, Easter candy and the worst culprit Halloween candy.
Then there are all the cereals marketed to kids. Yes, we have been hardwired since childhood. Not complaining about my childhood; just stating fact. Breaking the sugar addiction was hard, but I feel so much better for it.
You are hardwired for sweets by nature/ god, not by your childhood... Just saying... Sweet things, according to nature , taste good. That is how you are sort of programmed to avoid poisonous foods!

My Italian uncle says get rid of the Tomato skins! His Family takes the skins off before they become sauce. When they use raw tomatoes in food they make sure the tomato is ripe enough to easily peel. I haven’t eaten an unpeeled tomato in decades.
Wait. What? Did he say that what's best in olive oil is the bits of olive in it? So the best kind of olive oil is skip the oil and just eat the olive?
Very interesting conversation about food. Lots if good information.
Basically food is our medicine.
Good video. People say just push yourself away from the table but that’s not true. Weight loss begins in the grocery store, not at home. You just have to bypass the foods that you have no control over.
Shop the perimeter
If you need to read a label it's already a bad sign, in most cases
Dr. Rangan, If I live in the US, you will definitely be my Physician, but I am not, so I am very thankful that you have this kinds of discussions on your podcast, so many information out there it tends to get really confusing. but this really helps. especially on the Oil, and red meat subjects.. I want to thank you sincerely and I hope you continue to make quality Podcasts.
Bobby Parrish has a UA-cam Chanel, Flavcity that talks about ingredients in foods at some grocery foods. He also has an app for your phone “Bobby Approved” that scans labels and tells you about the ingredients.

Thank you Dr C. All your vidio's are so informative and brilliant guests.
Hello Dr Chatterjee. First of all thank you so much for your great videos and super interesting guests that you have on your podcasts. I have learnt a lot in just a few weeks thanks to you all. I have a suggestion for a future podcast, perhaps you could discuss the topic of combining healthy food with seasonal/local food? Personally, as someone who lives in the northern part of Europe, I try to always eat with the seasons and from the region I live in. Fruit like kiwi, guava, avocado, even tomato have often been recommended but I am reluctant to buy items that have been transported through half the world on cargo ships for me to eat. Avocado can also have environnemental repercutions, because ot the amount of water they require, deforestation etc. So while it might be great to consume these fruit when you live in all-year-round hot countries, in northern countries it might not be ideal if you're trying to eat healthy but also limit environnemental damage. It would be amazing to have someone tell us what winter foods are the healthiest or some tricks like making your own pickled food etc. I'm sure some winter vegetables have also been forgotten since we're able to get anything we like in any season now. . Just some "food for thought"! :)
Research 'seasonal vegetables near me'.
Start composting, reuse or donate, instead of sending things to a dump.
These things will contribute to the health on our planet more than you depriving yourself of healthy food.
I consider buying faire trade organic food from other countries as a way to help people to earn their living in a sustainable, decent way.
How can you be sure that you're buying organics?
@@dekdeknav9366 ever heard that not all people are cheating?
Very good podcast.
Great info.
Like the argument pro organics food.
I worked in a supermarket deli one time and I soon discovered that the "ruts" in the bottoms of my sneakers would be packed full with fat at the end of every night. At first, I couldn't imagine what was all over my floors when I got home, and what was on the matt in my car and I soon realized what it was. I also realized that while slicing all of these deli meats, this fat was floating around in the air and landing on the floor, my hair, my clothing and I was obviously also breathing it in. I loved the job and the customers but quit soon after I realized what I was breathing in by cutting all those meats all day. It was rather shocking.
Reading these b l o g s I am convinced that eating at home preparing my own food is the best way to go the stuff you buy in a restaurant is overpriced and not very healthy for the most part can't be lazy though convenience is one thing health is another
Video duration/length is just fines. Most of us choads are simply watching/listening at work or bullshitting in the yard anyway. Maybe during a long drive... these vids are perfect. Kudos.
About fish in batter from Fish and Chip shops in the UK - The batter easily comes off and we only eat the delicious fish inside. We buy the batter-fried fish because the grilled fish costs more. You are righht about the chips though - fried in oil that's changed once a day if you're lucky.

Interesting study re: the organic strawberries. Made me think of the "bug-bitten" teas that are grown in the mountains of Taiwan. They actually have a different taste profile than the same variety that has not been exposed to the bugs. Now I wonder if these teas might have a greater health benefit.

I confess that sugar is my Achilles heel. I did make a dark chocolate cream cheese truvia recipe, but not sure if that's cheating or not.
It is so true about the organic foods. I live in Northern California . I have friends who work in the almonds and they are heavily contaminated with chemicals. Then the shells are sold as cattle feed!!
And who/what eats the cattle⁉️ With ever expanding global populations, “gotta beat the bugs” thus. Spray (read contamination)!

A nice video! I do not eat yogurts, ice cream, do not drink coffee. Sometimes I buy cola with real sugar if I was lucky enough and found it on a shelf. I read food ingredients labels. I am a scientist. Food substitutes and chemicals especially unnecessary colorants and flavors scare me. A list of approved E numbers is longer and longer.
I can't sit thru 1.5 hours to get the goods. Can anyone provide a shortlist of what to Absolutely SHOULD NOT EAT! ?
- sodas (sugar/sugar alternatives)
- fatty foods, especially cooked in reused oils
- alcohol
- processed food: anything you can’t recognise in the ingredient list, avoid
Yes, the fantastic lectures/interviews are too time-consuming, & I avoid many of them.
To many long stories; just tell us how much .😀
