Ideally, we’d all have the time to prepare healthy, homemade meals and sit down to eat them mindfully, but given how busy we are today, it’s not surprising that meal replacement shakes, bars and snacks have grown in popularity exponentially over the past several decades. Unfortunately, most conventional meal replacement shakes contain many dangerous additives.
In this episode of Ancient Medicine Today, I share the 6 dangers of conventional meal replacement shakes, such as synthetic vitamins, artificial sweeteners and more, as well as how these toxic ingredients affect your body and a few better, healthier options to try instead.

Geesh! Seems to me nothing isn't safe to eat anymore point blank period.
Dashonda Netters yup. Thats why i just do what i want and dont listen to people who claim they know everything
That’s the point! Make it yourself invest your knowledge on unprocessed food :)
I know right lol
Well I think so too. Nothing isnt safe to eat anymore . Point blank period.🤔just think I'll stop looking these vidoes.😀
@@Gillysaurxx You are quite right.😀♥️
"Stay away from all artificial ingredients." Ok. Got it.
Organic meats and vegetables
Simple enough.
Why not mention the brand names to stick with or stay away from?
Right
@@chrisanshaunagracie4217 Lawsuits. If this dude had definitive proof of his claims these products would be well known to be toxic. But this is a twenty minute video of him just complaining about ingredients that dont have a lot of actual science behind them besides sugar.
@@Lonewolf6565 exactly, he would get sued
I love green smoothies! I make mine with an apple, celery, kale/beetroot leaves, ginger, green powder, a scoop of collagen, water & ice. Always revitalises me and i feel great afterward.
I agree . I use Orgain Organic Plant based protein which literally has every green vegetable , super foods, and amino acids in it then I add a banana, peanut butter, Kale , spinach, cinnamon, and honey and use Grass-fed milk! Its so delicious and filling! I literally crave it! I feel great only ingesting this twice a day.
Sad year's ago when our grandparents or great grandparents were young they didn't have to worry about toxics in food
It's a crime against Humanity.Thus should be stopped.
Our grandparents and great-grandparents did have to worry about toxins. the pure food and drug act was passed In 1906 after a massive, countrywide uprising by mothers who were outraged by the terrible effects of food they bought the stores on their children. Arsenic was used as a coloring agent. Formaldehyde was put into milk to keep it from spoiling. Literally thousands or millions of people died from the toxins that rent food before the government started regulating what you put into food you sold in grocery stores.
The struggle against the greed of the rich and the chicanery of many has been around a long time.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video! Your channel has really changed my life for the better!
Any inputs on this meal replacement called Kachava? Do you think its a legit healthy mr? Its powdered so the ingredients are still refined or reprocessed, right?
Love your videos. So informative! Thank You
I love green smoothies. I know food combining is important and i havent researched how to combine properly, but I do kale,parsley,lemon juice, banana and acai for a smoothie and switch it up. I've felt my best eating healthier, more energetic and not so much sluggish. Everytime I eat crappy foods thats the way i feel.
ANGEL
I can sit and watch your videos all day the excitement and the energy that you exude giving this information is contagious the information about almost everything having to do with Better Health almost everyday there is something that I have a question about and I come to your videos and there's the answer when I'm finished watching your videos I feel like I have the weapons I need to fight the good fight for Better Health I'm ready to go your videos are also a great Energizer if I'm not feeling that great it puts me right back on the path thank you
Well I was sick vomiting up all foods and smoothies due to gastritis (started from keto!) and I could ONLY drink boost,high protein. I felt better and lost 26 pounds in a month. I did exercise daily towards end of june when I felt stronger. I've never felt better on boost alone and occasionally a hard boiled egg. I have no thyroid due to uncontrolled graves disease. Food is my enemy. 😢
I make your anti-inflammatory green smoothy pretty regularly. It was a bit sludgy the first time I made it, but I blended it for quite a bit longer the rest of the times & it turned out great. As an added bonus, I found out I now like green apples & celery, both food items I thought I really did not like / hated for most of my life. I think now that I'm more used to eating sour foods & maybe candida is dying, I can actually appreciate the more subtle delicious flavors in food.
It makes me feel great & I even drink the whole smoothie, which is made for 2 people. It seemed weird to drink a whole lemon, and the first time it made my teeth feel a bit sensitive, but I've had no problems ever since. Very good smoothie! By the way, yours calls for juicing, I just blend it like crazy in my Vitamix & it turns out great.
Goodthing i make shakes out of frozen fruits...with milk wholemilk
I would have purchased something from you or your website. However, I dislike immensely how pushy your marketing is on your website. I experienced 8 different pop-ups in site in less than 10 minutes and multiple marketing buy with in the next 30 minutes and get blank percent off of your order - ORDER NOW. Your cart will only be kept active for 30 minutes, at this point and time I was not surprised to see a countdown ticker for that cart timer. It was like being forced to participate in an interactive infomercial. I appreciate what you are trying to convey, I certainly do. Also, there are way too much written opinion on the actual product pages. There were about 3 pages of statements preceded by the + icon, which means it has not been substantiated - on any nutritional label - notably this was not on your ingredients but on everything which I had to scroll through to get to the information I was actually looking for about your products. Overall, I found your website made me cringe and was pushy - like a sweaty overweight used car salesman wearing too much cologne.
Meghan Franklin that's really finally
i hate adds, i quite watching tv 5 years ago because its nothing but marketing...
Yes!
LOLLLLLLL! XD the last part of your comment 😭😭😭
Great stuff!! I have been doing smoothies for about 6 years.
Slim Fast is one of the worst I've seen.
Did you see how much sugar is in it ?! Crazy !
gaiamw8 I use to use those protein bars and meal replacement shakes. Trust me. It's all a gimmick. All of that Damn sugar, carbs, calories in them. You are better off just eating a goddamn meal instead. Not to mention, they will get you fat as well. Just eat fatty foods and takes away the carbs and sugars, and you will be good.
Absolutely that is " 1 " of the worst for sure! I drank that in the 90's and "gained" weight!! Of course I stopped. All the "Whey Protein" shakes-- powder drinks, etc... from GNC and other Big Brand names also make you "gain weight".
It contains Whey and I can't have that.
Hey Dr Axe...keep it up. Great Job!
Great presentation and very informative! Dr. Axe just wanted to say that I ordered your Bone Broth Protein Chocolate and I just love it!
I have recently started using chia and flex seeds in my meals.
I want to thank you for all that you share on health! You have been making a HUGE difference in my life with my health. On my healing journey! '-D Your truly a blessing!
You're awesome Dr. Axe !!! Many thanks ! Could you make a video on the different forms and sources of magnesium supplements ? What is the difference between magnesium chloride and magnesium oxide etc ?
Thank you so much for this! Subscribed!
This is an old video but helped me out a lot. Thanks Dr. Josh Axe
Smoothies for breakfast is my daily plan with Vega plant based powder, bone broth powder, flaxseed or chai or hemp seed, Green leafy vegetables. blueberries or raspberries, ginger powder for digestion etc.
Which plant-based protein powder you use for fruit and vegetable smoothies? I can know?
I learned alot on this video. Thanks for the information.
Great information!!
I blend half an avacodo strawberries, blueberries and blackberries with a spoonful of turmeric and half a spoon of pepper with a little almond milk. Usually add half a banana.
Love your videos! Haven't had time to watch them all yet, but I had a couple questions. First, what is a natural drink/food to consume prior to workout that can give a natural pump during your workout? Second, what is a safe type of pan to cook in? Iron skillet, non-stick, etc. Thanks for your tims and I look forward to watching all your videos.
Stainless steal. But not the 18/10 cheap kind
I like to put salad/spring mix that's close to going bad/semi-wet in my smoothies so it doesn't go to waste
very educational! Spread the truth. Dr Chia
Great video and information. But I want to try and a meal replacement drink just to use twice a day with some healthy eating. Which in your opinion will provide what I’m looking with the least issues? Thank you and again great quality video.
I use chia seeds and flaxseed I love them in my oatmeal good información 👍
Thank You Dr. Axe
I really appreciate your commitment and desire to help others! videos are always well explained and you are really trying hard! Unfortunately and I don't want to actually say it but the majority of people are ignorant to their health! they just don't care! spoiled by commercials and being manipulated by their environment they are not aware of their responsibility for their OWN bodies especially to their children!!!! I tried but most of my friends just ignore me saying I'm a freak that just wants attention! The fact is all media states to the opposite direction! really sad! I only have one friend who is actually aware of what he is eating and taking care of his body! Guess most People have to go through diseases or obesity in order to start a healthy diet and some people still don't change! Honestly I tried really hard and now I just don't care anymore!
Tks for such enlightenment god bless!!
can you make a video on healthy brands of meal replacement that are premade
Make a smoothie using kale or some leafy green veggie, plus whatever fruit you can get.
Want extra power and have extra coins to invest on it? Chia or flax or hemp seeds. If using flax seeds, make sure they're ground into powder first, which you can usually do in your own machine and then empty out and start with larger ingredients first. If using chia seeds, soak 'em for a couple of hours first.
Hey presto: Your own "meal replacement" drink... with no saturated fats, no trans fats, and no cholesterol, and instead of the inflammatory effects you'd get with bone broth or any other animal product, you actually get ANTI-inflammatory effects. ... And if that is a real area of concern or interest for you, add in a little (preferably fresh) ground turmeric and/or ginger.
mary maryk thanks Im gonna have to try
Does turmeric make it taste different? Is there enough vitamins and such in making your own? Can I add an organic green powder to help? I can ground chia seeds. I need more proteins, that part of the reason I drink them.
Amazon has a ton! Just type in organic protein powder. Make sure to read the ingredients. Amazing Grass looked good.
Makeing fresh smoothies every day can be overwhelming and expensive
Thoroughly enjoying watching this video, Dr Josh ... for me it's been education ... adding to what I can add when creating an awareness as I join Juice PLUS+ to "Inspire Health Living Around The World"! Thank you for the great work you are doing in giving back to the community :-)
Jemimah Murray, I had hoped I had found something healthy I could use when you mentioned Juice Plus but the main ingredient is SOY!!! Ugh soy is NOT good and is such a health myth... I would love to find something whole food without soy. www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/5-ways-soy-upsets-hormone-balance/
Same here Dj lady !!! Now I'm going to start adding raw eggs and Chia seeds in my meal replacement, love this guy!
What in hell are we suppose to eat then? Everything is somewhat toxic I guess!
Organic meats and vegetables
@@mariafirenzi4764 they said those veggies are just 5% of what it supposed to be. And organic meats are sprayed as well
Fasting = don't eat
Hi! Thanks for your video! What do you think of Dr. Berg’s Meal Replacement Shake?
Dr. Axe, is there one particular you would use over another? I typically lean towards D_T---a products. Would you recommend Vegan and for what instances? Or should I stay with the regular style?
chia seeds in my oatmeal every morning
I just bought one from walmart before my workout and it's starting to make me feel dizzy and with a horrible stomach pain.
I love green smoothies in the morning especially. I grow organic kale and like to use that -add some plain kefir or yogurt, local raw honey for sweetness and sometimes Ill add parsley or walnuts.. whatever I feel like and have on hand. I LOVE to do this. It feels so good and tastes awesome. I will make one to take on the commute to work! Thank you Dr. Axe for all your wonderful videos and information to empower people to take charge of their health! Love it!
I agree . I use Orgain Organic Plant based protein which literally has every green vegetable , super foods, and amino acids in it then I add a banana, peanut butter, Kale , spinach, cinnamon, and honey and use Grass-fed milk! Its so delicious and filling! I literally crave it! I feel great only ingesting this twice a day.
I also use kefir yogurt and almonds instead of walnuts. Honey and coconut oil. Sometimes I add flax seeds or oats.
great work
Hi Dr. Axe, Yes I add Chia seeds in my smoothies or oatmeal on a daily basis. Also we use Youngevity vitamin s

Thank u for the info
Yes! I love green smoothies. I throw in baby spinach, and two other greens that I rotate (kale, dandelion greens, beet greens, collard greens, chard), a banana, apple, kefir, chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, turmeric.
Love your informational and healthful videos and teachings...Thank you!!
What do you thinks of 18shake? I'm thinking of switching to shakes and smoothies for most of my meals.
I use CARNIVOR beef protein, from muscle meds.. what do u think about it? Should I stop using it or is it ok?
I was drinking Abbott products to help me get more nutrients on my meals and calories, since I got diagnosed with a super rare genetic desease (MNGIES). Instead of helping me I notice I was having stomach problems ( made my gastroparesis worse). I stop drinking them and feel much better. Now I do green smoothies. I like to use raw eggs (super good for the mitocondria), avocado, berries, spinach, kale, coconut milk,and I have a mix of my favor seeds. sooo tasty!
Leticia Revuelta Don't forget to complement your diet with some human seeds, best nutrition on earth. Not kidding.
Dr can you please mention some good brands in plant based multivitamins!!
yes i love having my green juice on mornings
Hello, I have several friends that use boost glucose control due to diabetes. Is there a recommended healthy version similar to boost that is natural and sugar free without sugar substitutes? Any suggestions would be appreciated. (or any healthy recipe for a nutritious smoothie that won't spike their sugar level) thanks
you have smoothie recipe on your site?
It would be great if you could talk more in depth about why the synthetic vitamins and minerals don't work well with our bodies. Such as the chemical structural difference. I'm sure smart people will ask "why" or "what is the difference" and it would be great to have an answer.
Also, you didn't mention maltodextrin which is a really common mix additive that isn't very good.
Food is Medicine and as Hippocrates said 2,000 years ago! Health starts at your gut! that is my slogan i got from you Dr. Axe!
God bless you man our society needs more real doctors such as yourself!! I was wondering i had been using Collagen and Bone broth protein shake from GNC are they any good or any brand that you can suggest that has real ingredients?
Thanks !!!!
I live in Australia and buy all my supplements from Life Extension in the States. Believe in them 110%. There antioxidants come from fruits and vegetables. B vitamins come from homemade Kombucha and my smoothies are made with kefir milk. I must say I am worried about bone broth, lots of deseases and illness is harboured in the animals bones I have been told. I bought some but I threw it away kept thinking of it.
Why not talk about specific brands? What do you think of Huel?
Is it OK to buy it, just to try it out. Because I am already on a diet and I eat healthily, such as: chicken breast, banana, apple, pear, carrot, pineapple, bran flakes, skimmed milk and oats etc. Water and green tea are my only beverages. As I was thinking of trying the USN brand lol, although i don't really need it
Hello Dr. Axe, I really enjoy your videos, I normally drink smoothies first thing in the morning, although they are not green. One of the recipes I make is made of: pineapple, cucumber, rootbeet, carrot, spinach, lemon juice and some water, What do you think about it?
I have never tried pineapple, usually banana and green apples. I also use celery and cucumbers. And add berries whenever I have some.
Can u recommend any meal replacement protein shaks???
I just bought SUBI green superjuice. I recommend IT. Id like to buy kachava but they dont send to canada anymore :(
I appreciated for great information, doctor Axe if someone doing kidney cleansing can use that super food inside the smoothies or not ? Because vegetable and lemon will keep me hungry any advice please ,thanks
Hi dr axe, what is your opinion about taking turpentine for parasites?
I watch so many of his incredible videos that I actually had a dream I met him last night! His advice has completely rebooted my health and overall lifestyle. Thank you!!!
Cynthia Melkomian
huh.. or could it be that he looks like heaven???😂😂😂😂
GLORIA GARZA Watch out with the steam leaking down there. Take some cold water or you could dehydrate. 😁
Dr. Axe,
Sucralose is bad what can you say about Acesulfame potassium?
I'm struggling to get my goal of 150 grams of protein while keeping my carb intake at 110.. I am eating sardines, salmon, avacodos, pumpkin seeds, almonds. Basically all the things high in protein without eating beef pork or dairy. So is it possible to reach my macros and not eat meat other than fish?
Thanks!
I am an active 56 year old triathlons. Am lactose intolerant and am currently adding in a lactose free whey protein but am seeing an increase in asthma symptoms. Trying to build muscles. What protein do you suggest to replace it and still see muscle gain? I have hoshimotos and am taking daily pig thyroid supplement. Am trying to wean off of that.
What would you consider the shakes/meal replacement from Herbalife and Arbonne?
It would be great if you listed your recipes . Is it safe to take amino acids if they're bought at the health food store? Mississippi Market or Whole Foods? Ever since I've been watching your posts I quit artificial sweetener in my coffee. I also bought a juicer.
My first smoothie was with Kale, arugula, black berries, raspberries', blue berries, spiralina, bone broth powder. It was great !
Thank you.
ok so you said in your other videos to take vitamin d supplement, fish oil , and magnesium? I've been daily taking these for 1 year plus now? help :(
What about isagenxi? Shakes can you make a video on that
I have been using a Certified Organic Triple Greens by Purity Products and love it!!
how do you know if vitamins are synthetic? labels do not indicate this as far as I can see.
How often do you consume raw eggs and when is the best time to consume same.
Instead of sugar I like to put a scoop of pumpkin purée in and my coffee Along with cinnamon and nutmeg and cocoa powder so good.
Mary Beth Golub 🤢🤮yuck!
My favorite oil is hemp oil. Axe, where do you get your bone broth powder?
How do you know if they are synthetic? I'm older and take several vitamins. I was diagnosed with malnutrition and dehydration. I never get green foods. I microwave most everything. I do eat tuna, sardines and herring fillets from a can. Hard when older and disabled to get good food. I also, drink Ensure. Tyvm.
What is the best brands to get in herbs and spices
Dr. Josh Axe, I take organic food supplement Barley for a year, is it fine or I better stop taking it?. It said it helps a lot if you have different diseases and even cancer can cure that barley. Please say your opinion about what barley can give to our body, thank you!. :D
Do you consider Kachava to be better, the same, or worse than the meal replacements on the market 5yrs ago?
Great breakfast ideas!!! :))!!!
I use Young Living protein drink! Amazing stuff!!! It's a little pricey but if it makes me healthier it's worth it!
How many shakes should you have a day before dinner?
I buy Sun Warrior and i think (hope) they are good!
I drink nutritional and meal replacement shakes because I have Crohn's and food, especially fibrous food, can be difficult to digest sometimes.
Dr Axe What about complete protein from organifi?
Will homemade shake be fine? Oats+peanut butter+ banana+ yoghurt.
Please address pasteurized foods! They are dead food without enzymes from what I've heard. I've have not heard of any unpasteurized or unprocessed yogurt or kefir, can you recommend one or a substitute?
I love this guy!!!!!
God Bless You and Your Family💘👍👍😍
What do you think of Gfuel? Is it bad?
what kind of oil is good for deep frying?
What's your opinion on Ample Plant-Based Meal Replacement Shake?
I take that. I do weight lifting and some cardio...2 weeks..I lost weight and havent felt sick
Answer please
Important questions:
What about the studies saying raw eggs contribute to biotin deficiency?
Are there any issues associated with consuming liquid foods too frequently as opposed to solids?
Lastly, I thought probiotics in yogurt and kefir get denatured from pasteurization?
i just bought dr. bergs meal replacement.....thoughts?
Oh! Yes!!! I do green smoothies and a good green salad ... apple, celery, cucumber, lettuce, raisins and walnuts, with a drizzle of olive oil n lemon juice :-)
What do you think about Isagenix ?
