In 1997, Dr. Baxter Montgomery opened Montgomery Heart and Wellness in Houston, Texas right in the shadows of the powerful and world-renowned campus of the Texas Medical Center, the world’s largest medical center.
As a board-certified cardiologist and cardiac electrophysiologist, Dr. Montgomery has treated thousands of patients with severe cardiovascular diseases, but even though he employed state-of-the-art procedures, interventions, ablations, and medications, his patients continued to grow weaker and sicker.
Montgomery, instead, started researching nutrition’s role in disease reversal and found that - you guessed it- PLANTS were the common denominator in determining wellness.
Today at Montgomery Heart and Wellness, Dr. Montgomery helps patients achieve optimal health and wellness through various nutrition programs. His goal? To get his patients to 'think beyond the script,' improve their health, and reverse these chronic lifestyle diseases.
He truly is a modern-day David fighting a giant Goliath medical system, but much like David, he’s ready, willing, and able to slay the dragon of lifestyle disease. - Розваги
I love that he called his work, "A God given passion."
YES...GOD.
Thank you! 80 yrs old. Been on good food mostly raw since my mid 30s. No meds. Jogging. Love Dr Montgomerys teaching. First heard about nutrition from Paul Bragg., Adele Davis, NW Walker and the Adventists. Thank you all for furthering their work. Excuse me got to go on my run now! Carol B
Dr. Montgomery is my cardiologist. I’ve done his 28-day raw vegan detox and do 7-day raw detoxes every 3 months following his principles. It’s amazing how after just the first day of detox your blood pressure plummets down to normal levels. It is sooooo definitely the food.
That's great, but what do you all eat? How do you make your smoothies
May I know the plan pls, as my husband is having high BP
@@darlenejohnson5030 Fruits and vegetables, and smoothies out of greens, fruit and seeds.
@@myramallari6973 He has several plans, but overall it’s just eating raw foods, so fruits and vegetables, with some seeds. He has you avoid some nuts as they can have too much saturated fat which is not conducive to heart health.
@@myramallari6973 it’s very simple, raw vegan. Whole Foods only. Must be raw. Juices, smoothies, and salads. Everything raw and Whole Foods only.
What a great doctor. He’s helped so many patients and us really good at explaining things. I’d never heard of him before today. Thanks for having him on Rip!
Lovely man, he looks away from linear thinking and looks at our most basic diet. Really interesting interview and I learned so much. Thank you.
God's continued blessings upon Dr. Baxter Montgomery and his mission.
I had already appreciated Dr. Montgomery......watched several of his videos.....but, I LOVE that he has quoted the Bible.....with inspirational messages....it warms my heart and soul.
Bible is just a book just words just literature written by man. You can get the same information from other books probably better information. Because of the Bible many people have died historical facts
I agree, the miracle is what our bodies can make it through not only without our help but our inattention and poor treatment. Great info/interview. Thank you for sharing info we need
I've discovered many great doctors on this podcast show, thank God it's here to Educate people..👍❤️🙂🙏🌶🥒🥬🍏🥕🥦🌽🍎
Some of those Quotes Dr. MONTGOMERY SAID, NEEDS to be printed and put on a wall or a Card and given out at these Conferences..👍❤️
I am completely smitten!! I just love this man! I'd love to volunteer in his clinic. Thank you for bringing this wonderful discussion to us all.
God bless you Dr M.
Thanks for this conversation. I love Dr. Montgomery's message. My son died 9 years ago at the young age of 46. He had congestive heart failure & primary pulmonary hypertension. But what took him in the end was the caustic medication that he was on. The medicine was administered through a patch on his stomach. His stomach was swollen & inflamed from the medicine. His overall skin color was red. When they moved the patch to his arm (because his stomach could no longer tolerate it), his arm became inflamed. Then they moved the patch to his other arm with the same result. The medicine, as caustic as it was, was keeping him alive. When they removed the medication, he died in less than a week. I keep reliving that time & wishing we could go back & treat him with a healthy diet instead of toxic medications. Thank you, Dr. Montgomery & Rip, for the good work that you do.
We are sorry for your loss!
What a gruelingly horrible situation and memory. I am so sorry.
There is a plant based food service called Mamma Sezz. They started their food company after one of the woman's Mother was at deaths door from heart failure. They researched on google and went plant based. Even though Mom was actively dying, she began to improve and, as far as I know, she is still alive today. It's amazing what the body can accomplish. Although this must feel bittersweet to you. Thank you for sharing your story.
@@g.e.boroush5176 Thanks for your kind words.
Sending hugs and condolences for your loss. I loss a sister and niece who could have been saved by a better diet.
@@npguru Thank you for your kind words. My condolences to you. Hugs back at you.
Renewing of our mind...reminds me of salvation. GOD is GOOD!!!
Thank you Rip and Dr Montgomery.
Fabulous honesty about healthcare. My neighbor is a nutritionist in a NY city hospital and it is true that they have changed to plant based food service!!!! Can’t wait for 3 year outcomes.😊
Dr. Montgomery is so amazing.
Agreed!
I really enjoyed this interview. I love that Dr. Montgomery has experienced the power of fresh juice and raw foods and shares that in a big way with his patients and community.
Wow this was absolutely fascinating to see how Dr. Montgomery has taken this into his practice and is actually saving lives💛Raw plantbased food in action💚🌱
One of the best interviews I've seen you do
Everything is upside down because we don't follow God like we should. GREAT VIDEO GUYS!!!
WOW! Amazing interview with Dr. Baxter Montgomery, thank you Rip.
Raw Detox Diet..."It's the food!" Haha. "The foundation of health is optimal nutrition!" Passionate MD! YAY!
Life affirmative talk...KEEP IT PLANTSTRONG!
Thank you Dr. Montgomery and Rip for an enlightening interview.
Off subject, but something came to mind that might be of interest for you Rip.
As a retired nurse who in my last job worked with critical, medically fragile pediatric patients in their homes, I learned of folks creating plant based formulas for kids. Many of these kids were fed via G-tubes. From experience I witnessed a child with severe reactions to conventional formulas, have much better outcomes with the plant based formulas.
Not sure you would be interested but perhaps you could interview some of the founders of the plant based formulas?
Could be an avenue to educate conventional GI practitioners? AND help out our pediatric patient population.
God bless and thanks again!
The power of plants!
It's greater than us because IT MUST GLORIFY HIM...GOD.
Great interview! I have that “A-Fib” discussed at the end of the segment:. “Great interview” became “Critical Information”! WOW 💥
Raw and SOS? ❤
I love this doctor,I am AFib and would like to meet him one day , a friend introduced me to look him up and listen to him and I am so glad I listened
He gives so much free info even if you can’t meet him I hope you can make use of his wisdom. Best Wishes
What a wonderful interview! Enjoyed every bit of it!
This is very informative...love this doctor!
So awesome what this amazing Doctor is doing. Brilliant interview thanks
I watched Heart and Soul of a Champion. It was so inspirational and informational. I binge watched whole series. I highly recommend watching it.
Awesome interview. In theory it would be amazing to go raw, but without a raw chef I think it would be really hard to be 100% raw vegan. The benefits are awesome. I wish they had like a raw meal plan for a normal working on the go family
Chris Wentworth, 'add the virtues and the vices will disappear of their own accord'
I urge you and your family to add one plant/vegan meal a week or fortnight and discuss what you like and don't like ... then after three months, add another etc.
Familiar food and maybe cooked for now.
Pumpkin soup with the seeds and plant yoghurt.
Baked beans with a LITTLE nutritional yeast.
Porridge (oatmeal in America) with a little crushed nuts, plant milk, fruit ...
Nothing too weird, and then ideas will start finding you.
It took me three years to transition, and I'm still learning.
My go to is dahl made from any dried pulse, with lemon juice ... add a steamed or air fried potato or sweet potato- I found cassava the other day, plus steamed veg with hemp seeds.
I suddenly realised I can sprout lentils etc to be more raw so that's my next exploration. Probably part of the strategy not the be all and end all.
Enjoy the adventure, and don't sacrifice better at the altar of perfect.
Awesome! Juicing definitely works.
Life changing and affirming. Thank you.
Thank you so much, what a fabulous interview, with wonderful compassionate people, such lucky patients, and a total inspiration 💚
Great interview with so much good information!
Glad you enjoyed it!

This was such great information, thanks so much! Much love from NJ ❤️
Excellent interview!!
How can I get a copy of the diet plan and assess to his store
That Kale shirt in the Yale font is hard lol
This is so talking to me right now. I can either make the decision or the decision will be made for me. I'm now off the fence
Share some recipes for people to use.
Dr Montgomery do you have a cook book with the different types of juicing & other meals.
My husband suffered an aortic dissection at the beginning of the year. Four weeks unconscious in the ICU, three more in the intermediate wing, had to re-learn how to walk and swallow plus four months of dialysis due to renal failure and a couple of additional hospital admissions. He is a miracle in that not only did he survive (I was told his chance was 5%) but his kidneys have recovered and he is pretty much functional, other than getting tired easily and on a plethora of medications. I wish one of his doctors would push a plant-based diet in his direction. I've been happily and energetically plant-based (mostly, not perfect) for years and he is still convinced that I'm completely wrong and know nothing about nutrition. I am afraid that if he keeps going the way he is we will end up in the hospital yet again but I'm getting resigned to the fact that he isn't going to listen.
You could try offering him proteolytic enzymes. Technical they are just to help with digestion - but if you take them on an empty stomach they enter the blood stream and fix other problems / dissolve plaques. Proteolytic enzymes are found on all raw foods, but lost in cooking. So it would be similar to giving him a bunch of raw food. Take both 30 minutes before a meal and right after a meal - win - win.
Krist. Did your husband have type B?
What happened with him? Is he on BP meds and a yearly CT scan??
I have type B dissection with large false lumen, so I'm wondering your husband's progress.
I pray that your husband sees the benefits of what you are eating then he'll do it too.
What a Great dr😊
So inspiring! 🙌🏽
Totally cool guy and interview!!!
What???? Lp (a) reduction…😳😳😳 everything I read states that diet doesn’t really affect that.. this is truly amazing.. I wonder if they have done any studies on that from their program.. I’m only partially through the interview so hoping to hear more great info..💜💜
Some years ago, I bought Dr. Esselstyn's dvd on heart disease and prevention, this was as result of a chance watching him on CNN after his surgical intervention on Bill Clinton's heart health. Unfortunately, I borrowed the dvd to a friend and I never got it back. I wanted to ask if Dr. Baxter would put something like that in the market place?
We just need to be obedient to GOD IN EVERYTHING WE DO...food included. We always let Satan influence us...even from the beginning.
Yes Amen listen to the Lord
@ around 1:05 YES!!! I was thinking the same thing. Your passion finds you! ABSOLUTELY and I have a testimony example of GOD doing that for me.
Are they cooking with oil or without. That should probably make a huge difference. Whole food plant based!
ok where do I buy these products in Australia please.. I can not find any of the products.
How do us in Africa get supplies of your raw food
What is exactly wrong? No oil, no dressing, no salt, what is RAW . PLEASE
Can i get yr menu and diet fr heart calcium62%.also nafl d kidney pro lems 32gfr. Please do spare few secs to reply as nothink like this here in uk. Many Thnkx.Gof bkess
Dr. Baxter is a very knowledgeable and skilled physician. He his doing the work of God in the lives of all his patients and the people blessed to hear of and or witness his knowledgeable presentation(s). I find it disrespectful that this host called the Dr. by his last name multiple times (like he was in the military and junior in rank to him) in this interview. It was somewhat
startling each time and presents as very unprofessional and classless. Show more respect to your guests, Sir!
2 garlic Cloves a day and Raw Honey...what sickness
Interesting interview. I had never heard of Dr. Montgomery before this clip. I got the feeling that Rip had to bite his tongue out of respect for his guest, because I don't think Rip was buying into the whole raw-foods thing. I don't believe there are any long-term or legitimate studies out there on the effectiveness of raw-food eating, and it certainly doesn't add up to what Rip's dad found to be true in his patients that he documented in his famous book, "How to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease," which consisted of his heart-diseased patients cooking their foods like one normally would, only that the foods being cooked are whole foods, entirely plant-based, no oils, and low fat. Dr. John McDougall had similar findings. Dr. Dean Ornish had similar findings, too. Same with medical researcher Neal Barnard. And of course, Dr. T. Colin Campbell. None of these medical professionals promoted raw foods, but what they did find are all the incredible health benefits of eating whole foods, entirely plant based and COOKING these foods with stove-top heat. So to say that raw foods is the best way to go just doesn't add up. Show me the data.
Agree with you. You forgot Nathan Pritikin, Rice diet, etc. No god or totally raw diet employed but excellent results.
@@JR954 Yes! Nathan Pritikin. Him too. Good call. 👍
People didn’t believe those people either. At first they just had case studies too. Just because cooked vegetables work, doesn’t say that raw food can’t work too or better even. The cool thing is that you can just TRY it without bad side effects from 7 days raw.
@@Birtee229 I'm in agreement with you in that if you're suggesting that PROPERLY prepared raw foods, with ADEQUATE proportions and DIVERSE selections throughout the day that one can indeed survive that way. So yeah, it can work. But can it work better? There just isn't any hard data on this. And by "better," what would that mean? How much better are you going to get than Esselstyn, McDougall, Pritikin, Barnard, and the rest? Why not just make life easier on yourself and cook your whole foods, entirely plant-based items and be done with it, especially knowing you're going to like the flavors and variety better and that your cooking/prep times will be way easier?! Why go through all the trouble of a raw food diet and all the difficulties of living that way, when you MAYBE MIGHT get some better miniscule results?
@@Jim_L I noticed that he said it was critical for the sickest. May not be so critical for someone with high blood pressure or ordinary diabetes though.
Excellent interview!
