@@MedicalSecrets Dr. Kaveh, I watch you all the time but, unfortunately, I never get the notifications for your live streams. I just hope everyone understands that when you say, “I hope you feel that you have more power over your health than you’ve ever been told.” The “power” in that simple statement is life changing, when one really stops and gives it some serious thought. It’s evident in all of your videos. Thanks, again, Dr. Kaveh.
Love hearing about people eating fermented foods. One doctor on YT in the US encourages folks to eat a bit of fermented food every day - even just a few T. will be beneficial to your gut microbiome. I'd love to see you visit Israel. I've been there a number of times and I find that I always eat much healthier when I am there. Thanks for a great video. Be well.
Hello Dr. Kaveh! Thanks so much for sharing your trip to Japan! Praying before meals shows gratitude for food. I always thank God for food. There are many all over without it. Even in restaurants I thank God & ask Him to bless those who prepared it. Being appreciative for everything is healthy in our lives. Thanks again! God Bless!
Dr., I'm TOTALLY impressed w/ your philosophy & commitment to QUALITY in life. I underwent a THA (anterior approach) in April in Michigan, in a nearby surgery center. I am in good health, so no complications & recovery has been very smooth. I was treated coldly like a nuisance (ie. non human) by ALL concerned - Internist, his staff, .the surgeon, his PA , his staff & the staff @ the surgery center. I stumbled upon your anesthesia videos (& re watch them re watch them almost unconsciously). You give me hope providers in the US may improve their approach to their work (& lives). They manage their stress soo badly its destroying their lives, as you well know. Being around those people is soo unhealthy I am opting for virtual visits whenever possible in the future. MANY MANY thanks, -JL
Absolutely phenomenal video Dr.K! Thank you for sharing your trip to Japan with us. I learned a lot from this. I also had a sense of peace watching it. Thank you so much for helping better the world Dr.K!✨🙏🏼
Thank you Dr Kavey for bringing this wonderful japanese experience to us in the USA. I certainly learned a lot . My son took two years of Japanese in high School and i recognize that word sensey ,he loves the japanese culture ,and the food he like Sushi ,an all japanese food ,i do too. He has try teaching me to eat with those sticks ,but i haven't mastered it yet .My five year old great grandson can use them perfectly. God bless you ,and i can see you enjoy your trip.
Just keep at those sticks... haha... I ran into them with electronics training in the Navy. Of course, I'd been to restaurants for Asian food all over, but in the States you ASK for chopsticks... BUT Our instructors warned us in electronics, to use ONE hand for working the test probes for our multimeters, AND every multimeter has two(2) probes. That was a safety issue, and from the start, 90% of the class (myself included) fumbled around uselessly... SO they told us to ask for chopsticks at Asian Restaurants as often as we possibly could. Even buying a cheap set for personal use could give us something to practice with so we didn't face imminent electrocution for getting it "wrong"... and no risk to damaging expensive equipment... Holding one probe in each hand, risks accidentally letting the current jump across your body, in case you slip and touch a "raw" wire or something... In one hand, across your chest/heart, and out the other... SO we use one hand for both probes, and if one of them slip, we only damage the hand... much safer when you mess with capacitors that can carry over 100,000 Volt-Amps. It was frustrating, and embarrassing at first... I even had a cute waitress laughing so hysterically there were tears rolling down her face while I fought with them, and visibly resisted the urge to stab everything with them... (fake stabbing motions and growling obscenities)... She would patiently help me with putting them in my hand correctly, calling me down when I was gripping too tight, and laugh when I flipped food across the table or room... That was back in the 1990's... I can use chopsticks, and even have a fairly expensive personal set, enough for a formal dinner with six or eight people... I've also completely FRIED TO BURN-OUT several multimeters, a couple volt-meters (specifically) and an amp-meter, and I've never suffered worse than a second-degree burn for messing around with high tension electrical or electronic repairs, even in my dubiously unsupervised hobby with the stuff. Anyways... It's good to remember our sense of humor while we play at something new and "alien" to us... YOU CAN DO IT!!! I believe in you! ;o)
Also helps they typically adhere to stopping at 80% satiated. I was born in Japan in 1957 when my dad was stationed there. I grew up with many beautiful artifacts. And several phrases in Japanese. Stoked you're doing this since I have not been back since I was 18 months old. Maybe someday🙏
What a delightful insight into the Japanese culture. There is much in which I personally will take as I make adjustments to my own life. Also, I rarely desire to travel, but I now have a desire to travel to Japan. Thank you so much for sharing. What a delightful end to my day!!
Dr. Kaveh, thank you so much for sharing your interaction with and deep appreciation for Japanese people, culture and food! I too have studied the language, as well as several eastern philosophies. I believe there is so much we can learn from other cultures and, with the introduction of social media, there is a profound and far-reaching opportunity to change how we view and interact with both ourselves and the people and world around us. I have a few teaching subject suggestions for you but will start with just one (which you have already partly presented): how to recognize psychopathic or sociopathic behaviors both in others as well as ourselves, especially subtle ones, for the purpose of self protection, self improvement and for nurturing more healthy relationships and interactions. These things might seem obvious to some, but for others the only way to learn is through experience and maybe there is an opportunity to bring awareness to mental pathology and patterns of inharmonious lifestyle choices, which can clearly have an effect on all aspects of life, health and happiness. I believe that we all have within us, the potential to bring about positive change to the current overall human condition and experience; and that small steps in everyday life can be a pathway to better living for all. TY!
Thank you Dr. Kaveh. It showed me what I'm doing right & areas where I need to improve in my own personal healthcare journey. Something I personally strive for because I associate eating with healthcare.
@@MedicalSecrets I've made a point of eating 2 forkfuls of authentic kimchi every morning b4 anything else hits my stomach besides a tall glass of water.
Thank you Dr Kaveh for presenting Japan in such a positive light. I fell in love with Japan ever since I was stationed there in the late 80's. IMHO in addition to healthy food choices and portions they also walk a lot more. I will be going to Kansai and Tohoku in October. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
What a wonderful presentation! I loved it. I have made tofu from freshly made soymilk, and your experience reminds me that it is so worth the time investment to taste this again. I paid very close attention to your observations about plant-based eating in Japan. This is definitely something that I want to learn more about. Thanks for your window into Japanese culture!
Medical secret man. Yes. From arctic Alaska. Way north. Appreciate you. If really emergency happens, patients are go to medical to Anchorage . But the small hospital in Kotzebue is good but can't do everything. Besides that, God bless you and am happy that you like people ....even in arctic.
I strongly agree with a more plant based diet. Especially as we age.There are also only so many fruits and vegetables we can grow in Canada and the USA due to our climate. I have had the PRIVILEGE of travelling to Africa 3 times. It is such a joy and pleasure to be able to get fresh fruit and vegetables as well as fresh fish from the Ocean. Beef and chicken are also a fresh staple there. Thank you so much for taking us on this fascinating journey Doc 😍🇨🇦🥰😘🫶❤️♥️
I do not advocate fat shaming either. But the thing is, every human has only 2 options when health problems become externally obvious: 1) sit and feel offended and pity oneself, 2) get up and change something towards better health. That's it. No third option. And our life ultimately depends on OUR reaction to things, and it's our responsibility.
Thanks Good Doc., wished the rest of Dr.'s where like you, I will be happy wherever you take us, please keep it coming, be safe out there, my new friend 😊👍!
I have ME/CFS severely and have really been struggling with my mental health, because I can’t do the things I used to do. I used to play a ton of sports and be very active, now i’m pretty bed bound each day which distroys me. I appreciated this video because, it gives me something to aim for. I battled this once and became more able to interact with my family and be up and about without needing to be in bed throughout 2020-2022. However, I had a bad relapse at the start of 2023 and I’m still struggling. I love the Japanese culture. Not only their appreciation for nature and their close relationship with food/nature and how the whole system dances in a beautiful symbiosis, but I also love the entire Japanese way of thinking. Less is more, keep things as natural as possible, be grateful and gracious to the Earth that gives life so we can live.
Thanks-fascinating video! At one point you mentioned high salt content being problematic. Some of your audience, however, has Dysautonomia and orthostatic intolerance and POTS-giving a tendency to faint when standing. Our doctors prescribe a high salt diet (with added electrolytes) to help us with this tendency to faint and the low blood volume that is often involved. Could you talk about this in a future video? We usually hear, categorically, that a high salt diet is bad-even from our doctors.
Thank you Dr Kaveh , I just love the last few videos you’ve done. They are so interesting to someone that hasn’t had opportunity to travel . I love the natural healing . Wonderful video ❤

Have you ever been to India? It would be fantastic if you went there and discovered healthy foods or mind-body connections they have. I have been to small parts of India, and it was so much fun. Even Turkey it was a wonderful trip for me. Thanks for sharing the portions of your trip to Japan it was beautiful. I hope one day I will get a chance to go.
Thank you Dr Kaveh, very very interesting. Love it thank you again for sharing. I love all your videos so educational, you are such a humble and professional doctor, I am planning to visit you in your clinic in San Francisco soon. Thank you 🙏
Oooo, part of my childhood is there. I lived mostly in Misawa, Japan. Many adventures I had running amok, well, biking amok, on my own exploring. Yeah, a kid in Japan can do that. I ended up in mostly agriculture areas just wandering about. To this day, it was rather mystical. All of the formalities I learned there. The snowfall where I lived was incredible. Massive snow! Then, of course the tremor/earthquake experiences I remember, omg, it was just dash under the dining room table. Those quakes freaked me out. If anyone is in Japan, go eat at an outdoor vineyard, they're lovely. Yakuza members were quite a common sight. There were these parades with Yakuza guys all full of tattoos. I had a weird experience I guess? I mean moving back to the US was actually my culture shock. I wonder what the health stats are there currently? I thought it was Okinawa that had the healthiest Japanese people? I haven't looked into it. I'm cracking up thinking about the whole KFC Christmas thing there. You didn't visit KFC, lol. You didn't show us the vending machines.
As someone who lived in Japan for 4 years, I was extremely disappointed in their healthcare system. It was very behind… It was so difficult to get my needed medications every month because they don’t have auto-fill prescriptions. You have to physically go and see a doctor EVERY SINGLE MONTH to get a PAPER prescription which you then have to physically take to a pharmacy. Doctor’s offices and pharmacies were mostly only open during typical work hours, so I had to take PTO every single month just to get medication that I already know I need. It was ridiculous. My salary was also low and the cost of medication and insurance was prohibitively expensive, I could not afford it. Many medications that have safe off-label uses will not be covered by insurance in Japan. I was paying $300+ a month plus another $300 for insurance. Now living in America, my insurance is $10 a month and my meds cost at most $10 and the prescription automatically gets sent to the pharmacy every month it’s so much better. If you have a chronic medical condition, I would not recommend living in Japan. Don’t even get me started on the abysmal state of Women’s healthcare in Japan. It’s always men going on and on about how great Japan is meanwhile women are suffering…
I lived in Japan for over 20 years and lead a full Japanese life with a Japanese husband and raised 4 children. Their food now has a lot of chemicals as well as so much salt. Because of this they have a really high rate of stomach cancer. I personally think Japanese eat a lot. I think the majority of the people are thin due to their genetics. The business men go out drinking with coworkers after work on a daily basis and usually come home drunk. Also as she said the Japanese eat a lot of soy beans. I think that because of this the men are very feminine and there are so many couples who are sexless. There is a very famous proverb in Japan that says ' I want my husband happy and healthy but not at home'. The first time I heard this I was shocked but that is how most Japanese woman feel. I even had one neighbor who said she washed her husband's clothes separate from her and their children because he was so dirty. The young are not getting married so they have a huge population problem as well. Generally I feel the Japanese are not very happy people that are always worried about what other people think which has lead to one of the highest rates of suicide. So what you see on the surface is just not the reality.
@@wildhorses6817 I purchased the same my self recently. I actually bought empty gel capsules & filled some with the matcha so I can get some in when I don't have time to stop & make nice hot tea, which I love, even when it's hot outside I like hot tea, lol😂
A really great video, I learned a lot, all your videos are so cool, but this one is eye opening, I have a bmi of 35, electrician, always eating out fast food,.. Japan has always been a place I wish to visit, I guess I better lose some weight so I won,t have to buy 2 seats on the air plane, Thanks Doc, this is an Excellent video,.
Hi Doc. Food and diet don’t get me started. Longevity is for those afraid to die, me I want to enjoy my life and yes eating is a favourite of mine. As a diabetic I have dos and don’ts I try to stay within the boundaries but my love of sweet things needs satisfying so once or twice a fortnight I fulfil it, but once it’s gone I go back to my usual diet. Their are so many people telling us what to eat, I have realised that carbs are bad for me and I try not to include them in my diet. It’s hard to know what to eat. I let my body tell me what I need, when I overeat sweets my stomach always lets me know with reflux overnight. To be truthful with you I never wanted to make it to 60 but here I am 64. 15 more years is okay but no more then that. Being a Sugar Addict limits me so I have to find a compromise to allow a little in my diet. I don’t buy cane sugar or bread anymore, bread rolls every now and then. The price of food now is just ridiculous, so I’m back to basics. Hook me up to a drip Doc and put me in a Propofal coma until I expire, I know it’s not medically ethical. So here I am putting one foot in front of the other taking one day at a time. Keep those photos of your fur babies with your words of inspiration coming as they make my day Doc. 🙂👋🏻
What a wonderful insight you have brought forward of the Japanese. Thank you for the most informative view of the Japanese, their culture and lifestyle in such a comprehensive yet fun manner! After downing a disgusting dinner of Kentucky Fried Chicken, I cried knowing what horror I just placed on my body. I love sushi and all healthy foods prepared by the Japanese. I swear I will never ever KFC again. Now devoted to delicious clean, caveman like, unprocessed foods!! Thank you.
Dr. K- Couple of things to keep in mind. The indigenous religion which many people mixed with some Buddhist practices, is Shinto. Shinto is animism; worship of nature and ancestors. That's probably why you see shrines to shrimp and Japanese consider eating certain foods is in a way anointed. When you get to the fat shaming segment, more than 20% of child bearing age women are medically underweight (they don't get their periods) when there is already is population shortage problem. You make some good points about some very good practices but don't get caught up in Orientalsim fetishizing.
So wonderful that you get to explore other countries! The Asian restaurants here have to Americanize the Asian food to make suitable for American's! If you dine Asian restaurants, ask them if they'll prepare it the way they would. Im sure they'd be happy to 😉 Next trip? Europe? Brazil 😊
There was a authentic Asian restaurant I loved in Shaker heights, Ohio called the "lemongrass" that just shut down permanently B4 the pandemic. There food was Thai & it was to die for. Wish they were still there.
@@seductive-drops-of-gold I used to work in a Chinese restaurant. I loved listening to their music. Very soothing. I wish I knew how to speak their language and sing along with them in song😉
A lovely presentation that I thoroughly enjoyed, but I couldn’t help but crack up when I saw in the subtitles-which were no doubt automatically generated-a reference to there having been in World War II “bonsai attacks”, when obviously you were in fact referring to “banzai attacks”. 😅 Obviously an inadvertent error, but it does conjure up some very interesting visual images (can’t help but recall the old Monty Python sketch where there’s a self-defense class on how to protect yourself if you are ever attacked by someone armed with a banana.🍌)
Like I commented on your poll yesterday ❤😂 and asked for a differences in health care and your field and I sorta got just what I wanted ❤🎉 have a super vacation in my dream vacation country ❤❤❤❤❤
Do you make your own tofu now? I'm wondering if it could possibly taste good enough to be worth that much effort. Your video inspired me to check out the process. It has a lot of opportunity for practicing mindfulness.
Thank you. I would like you to visit Turkey and Greece. Yes, because I am older I remember times when we had smaller portions, better quality foods. Now, I only eat foods I prepare at home except some Thai food. The portions here are enough for a family of four except most of the foods are very low quality. It is sad and seeing people obese and very ill with a poor medical system does not bode well for our Country.
Can you make video or tell about brain mri with anesthesia 😢😢 my first mri and first anesthesia that why im scared im taking anesthesia bcuz i have pblm with loud sounds in my left ear also i have facial paralysis on left side
Great video, and am sure it was an incredible visit! I can’t help to think that genetics play a huge role in health/longevity… my grandparents (on both sides) lived healthily until their 90’s. And my Italian ‘side’ ate beef for breakfast, lunch and dinner., where I have vegan friends that are so unhealthy… So who really truly knows what diet is the ‘best’. My Nonna always used to say “everything in moderation”.
Which is I think is the true secret to longevity. Don't completely deprive yourself on the things your taste buds love. But also don't limit yourself on healthy items that your tastebuds hate. Eat them also just because you hv sense enuf to know they are good for you. Also taking DHA everyday of your life is superb 4 ya health!
My dau and son in law been to Japan2x, love the culture and all country, especially shebas and monkeys.. saunas, .but the food is main draw...love your video
I love Japan, but it is changing quickly, and the severe punishments on children (try kneeling on hard rice while facing a wall for not practicing Piano) can be severe and pressure to succeed can be damaging. Same as in China and Korea. Living with mostly foreign neighbors - from northern Asia, or, as we distinguish normally in Silicon Valley with no disrespect, from India, my whole life and my kids growing up as minority Caucasians (4% at their school), has shown me the good and the bad. To my knowledge, my kids have never dated a white person. Their diets are largely Asian/Indian, as are many of their friends. My husband has worked in the semiconductor industry-same job for 22 years- and we have immersed ourselves in other cultures. One thing I was thinking about when you were talking is about monks and the vows they take. Read the book Siddhartha or The Holy Man and your life can change. Read any book. Just read. I have found that the focus on family is also very important in many religions. Also art- music, painting, sculpture- America is a melting pot, but you need to find the culture from elsewhere, except for Native Americans, who are wonderful. Many Jewish and Muslim sects have strict diets and very rich cultures. Jewish people are so warm and loving and want you to question everything. Muslims, in particular, are very quick to remember every person’s name in your family and ask about their work, school, and health before a conversation can start. And those lucky enough to have parents show up for 6 months to 2 years after you have a child, are blessed. I was so lonely, had no help and left Stanford with 1/2 my blood after I said I was dizzy and then passed out, with my last baby. There was a blood shortage and I was “young”, so no transfusion for me. I could go on with so much to say, but if you travel, read, reach out to other cultures for knowledge, and keep an open mind you will be better off in some way.
Refreshing the japanese culture is honest about the choice to be unhealthy - fat. Since 99.9% of the time it IS a result of willful choices over a long time of individuals to become - be fat & obese. Referring to "fat-shaming" and people who are honest about people who are fat or obese as unhealthy, unattraictive and it being a choice, as something wrong or "offensive" is just an abusive, manipulative, lying attitude and behavior of people who are offended by truth and want to continue not only living unhealthfully, dishonestly but also abusively falsely accusing and censoring people for being honest.
@@MedicalSecrets I've had seaweed. Just to try it but ended up liking it . But Sushi, I can't. The raw fish and other stuff the put on it I can't. Also, I'm ocd and I try as much as I can to not get worms. I know most people do but if I know in advance, I won't eat it. I also lost taste to pork, chicken and really any meat or seafood. A little beef every now and then. Not into meat as a whole. Being in San Francisco, are you supportive of gay people?
I hope you don't knock red meat. The Japanese have adapted themselves to eating large amounts of carbs, but the carnivore diet is better, especially for people with health issues. Meat and saturated FAT! I eat bacon and eggs every day and my labs are proof that it has improved my health. I'll compare my blood work with you, Dr. Kaveh.
I am a type 1 diabetic who has to eat 70% meat, 20 fat, 10% all else. I've also backpacked across Japan (1996)...I'll try not to judge the video. Oh my BMI is barely on the chart. 138 lbs, 5'9.5".
@@hicknopunkYou were born with diabetes I'm guessing. People who are type 2 become diabetic from too much sugar & meat in there diets & not enough vegetables in there daily diet(which is imperative to staying healthy and a lower BMI overall for most americans), plus heredity plays a very strong role in diabetes.
I have no plan to live long. Why would anyone want more fear and terror? But hey i am not a Senators sun. Life is fun with money. Your mileage may vary. Sheesh!
I would very much like to live to 100. I've always gotten along best with older people. I love working with senior citizens. If you take care of your health & are blessed enough not to become dependent upon others physically or mentally, life can still be enjoyable in your 90's I'm sure. Just sitting a playing a guitar.
What choices are people given? Euthanasia is not allowed in USA, one must go out of this Country and their laws have become very strict. I believe that is a kinder choice for many elderly people or others with terminal illnesses and chronic illnesses.
Hi - I'm promoting unprocessed foods, and some that are fermented. I took a 2 year fellowship to cap off medical school, internship, and residency... and that's where I learned a lot about nutrition. But more importantly, one needs to follow the literature, whether a dietician or doctor!
Unlike most people on social media, Dr.K is a phenomenal Dr and would not do ANYTHING to hurt others. You might want to watch other video’s of his before putting rude comments like this. Have the day you deserve!
From my experience, being a western-trained dietician often means simply promulgating info obtained from sources that don't get it right all the time, or sources that (due in part to buracracy) are not up to date with the latest data-driven, evidence-based best practices. Also, as you may or may not know, the is a significant difference between soy and fermented soy products. Best regards.
He's a anesthesiologist, who graduated from Yale/ Harvard. In my opinion that's 100 times better than a pharmacist( whom I consider much better than a regular doc)do you have any idea how much more a anesthesiologist has to know about the body to safely put a person unconscious and bring them out again. Tons, tons, tons. That's why they financially make more money than surgeons. They also know how important diet is. When it comes to longevity always keep in mind moderation, even in soy, salt & sugar. If you need to chop your food to eat it you are eating healthy & if your finished plate looks colorful then you are eating healthy that's the rule of thumb that I have been taught.
😍 Thank You this was very Interesting. How about staying on the home front and visit some Native American tribes. Check out how they are so trying to stick to their culture, plant medicine, foods etc. It might be interesting. 🌈 A'ho 🪶🦅

I have a few teaching subject suggestions for you but will start with just one (which you have already partly presented): how to recognize psychopathic or sociopathic behaviors both in others as well as ourselves, especially subtle ones, for the purpose of self protection, self improvement and for nurturing more healthy relationships and interactions.
These things might seem obvious to some, but for others the only way to learn is through experience and maybe there is an opportunity to bring awareness to mental pathology and patterns of inharmonious lifestyle choices, which can clearly have an effect on all aspects of life, health and happiness.
I believe that we all have within us, the potential to bring about positive change to the current overall human condition and experience; and that small steps in everyday life can be a pathway to better living for all. TY!
Amazing!! Love the travel editions! Would love to learn about the islanders
Coming soon! Thanks for the idea!
Thank you Dr. Kaveh. It showed me
what I'm doing right & areas where
I need to improve in my own
personal healthcare journey.
Something I personally strive
for because I associate eating
with healthcare.
Looks like you had a great time. Thanks for the overview of nutrition and culture in Japan, prompts me to review my diet and attitude.
Powerful for ALL of us to do regularly!
@@MedicalSecrets I've made a point of eating 2 forkfuls of
authentic kimchi every morning b4 anything else hits
my stomach besides a tall glass of water.
Thank you so much for sharing this enlightening information on the Japanese culture with us, Dr. Kaveh!
Yah have a great time Thankyou dr for sharing your trip very interesting😊
Thank you Dr Kaveh for presenting Japan in such a positive light. I fell in love with Japan ever since I was stationed there in the late 80's. IMHO in addition to healthy food choices and portions they also walk a lot more. I will be going to Kansai and Tohoku in October. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
I enjoyed from the beginning to the end of your video. I saved, shared with family and will watch again. Thank you for teaching and sharing. ❤
I appreciate that!
Interesting and enlightening. The Japanese approach toward food seems respectful and grounding. Thank you for sharing your trip and these insights.
I visited Japan this spring! The food is wonderful!
What a wonderful presentation! I loved it. I have made tofu from freshly made soymilk, and your experience reminds me that it is so worth the time investment to taste this again. I paid very close attention to your observations about plant-based eating in Japan. This is definitely something that I want to learn more about. Thanks for your window into Japanese culture!
This video is awesome. So glad you shared it with us 😁
My pleasure! I hope you learned a lot of tips to incorporate into your health and lifestyle!
@@MedicalSecretsI did!
Medical secret man. Yes. From arctic Alaska. Way north. Appreciate you.
If really emergency happens, patients are go to medical to Anchorage . But the small hospital in Kotzebue is good but can't do everything.
Besides that, God bless you and am happy that you like people ....even in arctic.
I strongly agree with a more plant based diet. Especially as we age.There are also only so many fruits and vegetables we can grow in Canada and the USA due to our climate. I have had the PRIVILEGE of travelling to Africa 3 times. It is such a joy and pleasure to be able to get fresh fruit and vegetables as well as fresh fish from the Ocean. Beef and chicken are also a fresh staple there. Thank you so much for taking us on this fascinating journey Doc 😍🇨🇦🥰😘🫶❤️♥️
I do not advocate fat shaming either. But the thing is, every human has only 2 options when health problems become externally obvious: 1) sit and feel offended and pity oneself, 2) get up and change something towards better health. That's it. No third option. And our life ultimately depends on OUR reaction to things, and it's our responsibility.
Excellent point.
Very interesting and informative. Definitely food for thought! I would love to see you go to Germany where the culture is very different
Oh that's a great idea! Thank you! Maybe one day!
Wonderful video, I learned so many things. I would like to see you visit the Mediterranean area, such as Greece. They also are known for long lives
Oh that sounds fantastic!
Thanks Good Doc., wished the rest of Dr.'s where like you, I will be happy wherever you take us, please keep it coming, be safe out there, my new friend 😊👍!
I have ME/CFS severely and have really been struggling with my mental health, because I can’t do the things I used to do. I used to play a ton of sports and be very active, now i’m pretty bed bound each day which distroys me. I appreciated this video because, it gives me something to aim for. I battled this once and became more able to interact with my family and be up and about without needing to be in bed throughout 2020-2022. However, I had a bad relapse at the start of 2023 and I’m still struggling. I love the Japanese culture. Not only their appreciation for nature and their close relationship with food/nature and how the whole system dances in a beautiful symbiosis, but I also love the entire Japanese way of thinking. Less is more, keep things as natural as possible, be grateful and gracious to the Earth that gives life so we can live.
Thanks-fascinating video! At one point you mentioned high salt content being problematic. Some of your audience, however, has Dysautonomia and orthostatic intolerance and POTS-giving a tendency to faint when standing. Our doctors prescribe a high salt diet (with added electrolytes) to help us with this tendency to faint and the low blood volume that is often involved. Could you talk about this in a future video? We usually hear, categorically, that a high salt diet is bad-even from our doctors.
Thank you Dr Kaveh , I just love the last few videos you’ve done. They are so interesting to someone that hasn’t had opportunity to travel . I love the natural healing . Wonderful video ❤
Well done . Excellent content . 🏆
Thank you for the information Dr. Until next time my friend 🙇♂️
@Theresa here's the discourse on soy that I was referencing: extension.colostate.edu/topic-areas/nutrition-food-safety-health/nutrition-news/nutrition-news-should-men-cut-back-on-soy/#:~:text=Soy%20contains%20isoflavones%2C%20which%20are,result%20being%20enlarged%20breast%20tissue.

Have you ever been to India? It would be fantastic if you went there and discovered healthy foods or mind-body connections they have. I have been to small parts of India, and it was so much fun. Even Turkey it was a wonderful trip for me. Thanks for sharing the portions of your trip to Japan it was beautiful. I hope one day I will get a chance to go.
WOW, wish l could visit Japan...than you so much for this healthy info, healthy eating should be a habit for all of us .😊❤
So much we can learn from others!
Thank you Dr Kaveh, very very interesting. Love it thank you again for sharing. I love all your videos so educational, you are such a humble and professional doctor, I am planning to visit you in your clinic in San Francisco soon. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for making this vídeo😉. It was so interesting to watch
Also love to travel to Japan one day! Love their culture thank you for sharing
I love the caretaking aspect of forest stewardship. ❤
So rare in the west (fromy perspective)
Impressive job and really well put together information!
Thank you! It took a few months to prepare!
I love this video. You are an amazing doctor! I learn from you a lot. You are brilliant, speaking Japanese too! 😮
Oooo, part of my childhood is there. I lived mostly in Misawa, Japan. Many adventures I had running amok, well, biking amok, on my own exploring. Yeah, a kid in Japan can do that. I ended up in mostly agriculture areas just wandering about. To this day, it was rather mystical. All of the formalities I learned there. The snowfall where I lived was incredible. Massive snow! Then, of course the tremor/earthquake experiences I remember, omg, it was just dash under the dining room table. Those quakes freaked me out. If anyone is in Japan, go eat at an outdoor vineyard, they're lovely. Yakuza members were quite a common sight. There were these parades with Yakuza guys all full of tattoos. I had a weird experience I guess? I mean moving back to the US was actually my culture shock. I wonder what the health stats are there currently? I thought it was Okinawa that had the healthiest Japanese people? I haven't looked into it. I'm cracking up thinking about the whole KFC Christmas thing there. You didn't visit KFC, lol. You didn't show us the vending machines.
As someone who lived in Japan for 4 years, I was extremely disappointed in their healthcare system. It was very behind… It was so difficult to get my needed medications every month because they don’t have auto-fill prescriptions. You have to physically go and see a doctor EVERY SINGLE MONTH to get a PAPER prescription which you then have to physically take to a pharmacy. Doctor’s offices and pharmacies were mostly only open during typical work hours, so I had to take PTO every single month just to get medication that I already know I need. It was ridiculous.
My salary was also low and the cost of medication and insurance was prohibitively expensive, I could not afford it. Many medications that have safe off-label uses will not be covered by insurance in Japan. I was paying $300+ a month plus another $300 for insurance. Now living in America, my insurance is $10 a month and my meds cost at most $10 and the prescription automatically gets sent to the pharmacy every month it’s so much better.
If you have a chronic medical condition, I would not recommend living in Japan.
Don’t even get me started on the abysmal state of Women’s healthcare in Japan. It’s always men going on and on about how great Japan is meanwhile women are suffering…
I’ve heard these issues from others. All countries have good, bad and ugly. Just is. This video does show more of the good.
I lived in Japan for over 20 years and lead a full Japanese life with a Japanese husband and raised 4 children. Their food now has a lot of chemicals as well as so much salt. Because of this they have a really high rate of stomach cancer. I personally think Japanese eat a lot. I think the majority of the people are thin due to their genetics. The business men go out drinking with coworkers after work on a daily basis and usually come home drunk. Also as she said the Japanese eat a lot of soy beans. I think that because of this the men are very feminine and there are so many couples who are sexless. There is a very famous proverb in Japan that says ' I want my husband happy and healthy but not at home'. The first time I heard this I was shocked but that is how most Japanese woman feel. I even had one neighbor who said she washed her husband's clothes separate from her and their children because he was so dirty. The young are not getting married so they have a huge population problem as well. Generally I feel the Japanese are not very happy people that are always worried about what other people think which has lead to one of the highest rates of suicide. So what you see on the surface is just not the reality.
Love Japan food, culture, technology and Many things in Japan 😊😊😊😊 Thank Doc!
Me, too!
@@MedicalSecrets Thank you, I recently purchased ceremonial grade Matcha tea from Japan, it is very calming and very lovely color. High in Theonine.
@@wildhorses6817 I purchased the same my
self recently. I actually
bought empty gel capsules
& filled some with the matcha
so I can get some in when I
don't have time to stop & make nice hot tea, which I
love, even when it's hot outside I like hot tea, lol😂
Thank you very much for the nice presentation
When Spam first became available in Japan after ww2, the Japanese got taller.
Spam & eggs is a body builder's breakfast.
A really great video, I learned a lot, all your videos are so cool, but this one is eye opening, I have a bmi of 35, electrician, always eating out fast food,.. Japan has always been a place I wish to visit, I guess I better lose some weight so I won,t have to buy 2 seats on the air plane, Thanks Doc, this is an Excellent video,.
You are so welcome! I hope you learned some tips to help improve your health/lifestyle
They do but in small portions and mixed with lots of vegetables like bitter melon.
Hi Doc. Food and diet don’t get me started. Longevity is for those afraid to die, me I want to enjoy my life and yes eating is a favourite of mine. As a diabetic I have dos and don’ts I try to stay within the boundaries but my love of sweet things needs satisfying so once or twice a fortnight I fulfil it, but once it’s gone I go back to my usual diet. Their are so many people telling us what to eat, I have realised that carbs are bad for me and I try not to include them in my diet. It’s hard to know what to eat. I let my body tell me what I need, when I overeat sweets my stomach always lets me know with reflux overnight. To be truthful with you I never wanted to make it to 60 but here I am 64. 15 more years is okay but no more then that. Being a Sugar Addict limits me so I have to find a compromise to allow a little in my diet. I don’t buy cane sugar or bread anymore, bread rolls every now and then. The price of food now is just ridiculous, so I’m back to basics. Hook me up to a drip Doc and put me in a Propofal coma until I expire, I know it’s not medically ethical. So here I am putting one foot in front of the other taking one day at a time. Keep those photos of your fur babies with your words of inspiration coming as they make my day Doc. 🙂👋🏻
What an enjoyable video😃 Dr. K! You are the new Huell Howser😬
What a wonderful insight you have brought forward of the Japanese. Thank you for the most informative view of the Japanese, their culture and lifestyle in such a comprehensive yet fun manner!
After downing a disgusting dinner of Kentucky Fried Chicken, I cried knowing what horror I just placed on my body.
I love sushi and all healthy foods prepared by the Japanese. I swear I will never ever KFC again.
Now devoted to delicious clean, caveman like, unprocessed foods!! Thank you.
This video is good information. I had no idea how bad I had been abusing my body. Time to change my diet.Thank you.
Thanks!
Thank you!
By eating many small dishes there are more nutrients at one meal.
Dr. K- Couple of things to keep in mind. The indigenous religion which many people mixed with some Buddhist practices, is Shinto. Shinto is animism; worship of nature and ancestors. That's probably why you see shrines to shrimp and Japanese consider eating certain foods is in a way anointed. When you get to the fat shaming segment, more than 20% of child bearing age women are medically underweight (they don't get their periods) when there is already is population shortage problem. You make some good points about some very good practices but don't get caught up in Orientalsim fetishizing.
Im interested in learning more about the Mediterranean diet and living. Maybe visit the region?
So wonderful that you get to explore other countries! The Asian restaurants here have to Americanize the Asian food to make suitable for American's! If you dine Asian restaurants, ask them if they'll prepare it the way they would. Im sure they'd be happy to 😉
Next trip? Europe? Brazil 😊
There was a authentic
Asian restaurant I loved
in Shaker heights, Ohio called
the "lemongrass" that just
shut down permanently
B4 the pandemic. There
food was Thai & it was to
die for. Wish they were still
there.
@@seductive-drops-of-gold I used to work in a Chinese restaurant. I loved listening to their music. Very soothing. I wish I knew how to speak their language and sing along with them in song😉
Bring us Singapore next .
This travel series so cool. I wonder if New Zealand would be a good place to visit?
Did you know, Japan have insulated air conditioned jacket for summer laborers.
I did not know that!
A lovely presentation that I thoroughly enjoyed, but I couldn’t help but crack up when I saw in the subtitles-which were no doubt automatically generated-a reference to there having been in World War II “bonsai attacks”, when obviously you were in fact referring to “banzai attacks”. 😅 Obviously an inadvertent error, but it does conjure up some very interesting visual images (can’t help but recall the old Monty Python sketch where there’s a self-defense class on how to protect yourself if you are ever attacked by someone armed with a banana.🍌)
Especially Okinawa.
Truth! Don't they eat pork if my memory serves?
I lived there in the mid 70s and loved it.
Like I commented on your poll yesterday ❤😂 and asked for a differences in health care and your field and I sorta got just what I wanted ❤🎉 have a super vacation in my dream vacation country ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! It had been a dream of mine, too!
New Zealand
RED BEAN PASTE IS VERY SWEET. MOCHI IS VERY SWEET.
Do you make your own tofu now? I'm wondering if it could possibly taste good enough to be worth that much effort. Your video inspired me to check out the process. It has a lot of opportunity for practicing mindfulness.
Thank you. I would like you to visit Turkey and Greece. Yes, because I am older I remember times when we had smaller portions, better quality foods. Now, I only eat foods I prepare at home except some Thai food. The portions here are enough for a family of four except most of the foods are very low quality. It is sad and seeing people obese and very ill with a poor medical system does not bode well for our Country.
Your observations are spot-on, and it is quite saddening. Those are two fantastic countries for suggestions. Thank you!
When are you coming down under ? You need to go camping !
Can you make video or tell about brain mri with anesthesia 😢😢 my first mri and first anesthesia that why im scared im taking anesthesia bcuz i have pblm with loud sounds in my left ear also i have facial paralysis on left side
Great video, and am sure it was an incredible visit! I can’t help to think that genetics play a huge role in health/longevity… my grandparents (on both sides) lived healthily until their 90’s. And my Italian ‘side’ ate beef for breakfast, lunch and dinner., where I have vegan friends that are so unhealthy… So who really truly knows what diet is the ‘best’. My Nonna always used to say “everything in moderation”.
Very powerful observations!
Which is I think is the true secret to longevity. Don't completely
deprive yourself on the things
your taste buds love. But also
don't limit yourself on healthy
items that your tastebuds hate. Eat them also just because you hv sense enuf to
know they are good for you.
Also taking DHA everyday of
your life is superb 4 ya health!
Puff the Magic Dragon ;)
Are you not coming to Korea?
I'd love to!
❤❤❤
Quality over quantity
Always
My dau and son in law been to Japan2x, love the culture and all country, especially shebas and monkeys.. saunas, .but the food is main draw...love your video
Superrrr!
Thank you!
Thanks.🙏😀💦🤲🌎
What about Natto?? I heard Japanese eat that in the morning for good bones
I love Japan, but it is changing quickly, and the severe punishments on children (try kneeling on hard rice while facing a wall for not practicing Piano) can be severe and pressure to succeed can be damaging. Same as in China and Korea.
Living with mostly foreign neighbors - from northern Asia, or, as we distinguish normally in Silicon Valley with no disrespect, from India, my whole life and my kids growing up as minority Caucasians (4% at their school), has shown me the good and the bad.
To my knowledge, my kids have never dated a white person. Their diets are largely Asian/Indian, as are many of their friends.
My husband has worked in the semiconductor industry-same job for 22 years- and we have immersed ourselves in other cultures.
One thing I was thinking about when you were talking is about monks and the vows they take.
Read the book Siddhartha or The Holy Man and your life can change. Read any book. Just read.
I have found that the focus on family is also very important in many religions. Also art- music, painting, sculpture- America is a melting pot, but you need to find the culture from elsewhere, except for Native Americans, who are wonderful.
Many Jewish and Muslim sects have strict diets and very rich cultures.
Jewish people are so warm and loving and want you to question everything.
Muslims, in particular, are very quick to remember every person’s name in your family and ask about their work, school, and health before a conversation can start.
And those lucky enough to have parents show up for 6 months to 2 years after you have a child, are blessed.
I was so lonely, had no help and left Stanford with 1/2 my blood after I said I was dizzy and then passed out, with my last baby. There was a blood shortage and I was “young”, so no transfusion for me.
I could go on with so much to say, but if you travel, read, reach out to other cultures for knowledge, and keep an open mind you will be better off in some way.
I flew into Haneda
Visit other "blue zones" !!!
You know the lingo!
Refreshing the japanese culture is honest about the choice to be unhealthy - fat. Since 99.9% of the time it IS a result of willful choices over a long time of individuals to become - be fat & obese. Referring to "fat-shaming" and people who are honest about people who are fat or obese as unhealthy, unattraictive and it being a choice, as something wrong or "offensive" is just an abusive, manipulative, lying attitude and behavior of people who are offended by truth and want to continue not only living unhealthfully, dishonestly but also abusively falsely accusing and censoring people for being honest.
I am surprised if all the longevity gains from the healthier eating habits are not offset by being hit by vehicles in the streets!
Do you eat sushi?
In Japan I did! Do you?
@@MedicalSecrets I've had seaweed. Just to try it but ended up liking it . But Sushi, I can't. The raw fish and other stuff the put on it I can't. Also, I'm ocd and I try as much as I can to not get worms. I know most people do but if I know in advance, I won't eat it. I also lost taste to pork, chicken and really any meat or seafood. A little beef every now and then. Not into meat as a whole. Being in San Francisco, are you supportive of gay people?
Keto...Keto...Keto.
I hope you don't knock red meat. The Japanese have adapted themselves to eating large amounts of carbs, but the carnivore diet is better, especially for people with health issues. Meat and saturated FAT! I eat bacon and eggs every day and my labs are proof that it has improved my health. I'll compare my blood work with you, Dr. Kaveh.
I am a type 1 diabetic who has to eat 70% meat, 20 fat, 10% all else.
I've also backpacked across Japan (1996)...I'll try not to judge the video.
Oh my BMI is barely on the chart. 138 lbs, 5'9.5".
@@hicknopunkYou were born with
diabetes I'm guessing. People who are type 2 become diabetic from too much sugar & meat in there diets & not enough vegetables in there daily
diet(which is imperative to staying
healthy and a lower BMI overall for most americans), plus heredity plays a very strong role in diabetes.
I'll starve going there I don't like any of the food they eat there. I wish I did but no I will pass.
I’m allargic to soy :(
Ah bummer! They have so many other foods in Japanese culture that are soy free, fortunately!
I have no plan to live long. Why would anyone want more fear and terror? But hey i am not a Senators sun. Life is fun with money. Your mileage may vary. Sheesh!
I would very much like to
live to 100. I've always gotten
along best with older people.
I love working with senior
citizens. If you take care of
your health & are blessed
enough not to become
dependent upon others
physically or mentally,
life can still be enjoyable
in your 90's I'm sure. Just
sitting a playing a guitar.
Better not to divorce....it's better for children
Don’t include Europe in with the weird Americans (“The West” )
Who the hell thinks they eat suhi all day, or even for breakfast.
Too much soy. Look at the males.
Why would anyone want to live to be old and crippled and helpless
What choices are people given? Euthanasia is not allowed in USA, one must go out of this Country and their laws have become very strict. I believe that is a kinder choice for many elderly people or others with terminal illnesses and chronic illnesses.
My heart stopped when you said "..dogs at the farmers market"........Wrong country!
You're promoting soy? I certainly hope not. You aren't a dietician! How many hours of nutrition did you take in medical school, doc?
Hi - I'm promoting unprocessed foods, and some that are fermented. I took a 2 year fellowship to cap off medical school, internship, and residency... and that's where I learned a lot about nutrition. But more importantly, one needs to follow the literature, whether a dietician or doctor!
❤❤❤ Forest Bathing!! ❤❤❤
Unlike most people on social media, Dr.K is a phenomenal Dr and would not do ANYTHING to hurt others. You might want to watch other video’s of his before putting rude comments like this. Have the day you deserve!
From my experience, being a western-trained dietician often means simply promulgating info obtained from sources that don't get it right all the time, or sources that (due in part to buracracy) are not up to date with the latest data-driven, evidence-based best practices.
Also, as you may or may not know, the is a significant difference between soy and fermented soy products.
Best regards.
He's a anesthesiologist, who graduated from Yale/ Harvard.
In my opinion that's 100 times
better than a pharmacist( whom
I consider much better than a
regular doc)do you have any idea
how much more a anesthesiologist
has to know about the body to safely
put a person unconscious and bring
them out again. Tons, tons, tons.
That's why they financially make
more money than surgeons. They
also know how important diet is.
When it comes to longevity always
keep in mind moderation, even in
soy, salt & sugar. If you need to chop
your food to eat it you are eating
healthy & if your finished plate looks
colorful then you are eating healthy
that's the rule of thumb that I have
been taught.
😍 Thank You this was very Interesting. How about staying on the home front and visit some Native American tribes. Check out how they are so trying to stick to their culture, plant medicine, foods etc. It might be interesting. 🌈 A'ho 🪶🦅
They are lucky they don't have a big problem with Parkerinsom, MS, and other Neurological issues.
