    My mother has several health issues, and she's been about 70 lbs overweight for years as she's a serious foodie. For health reasons, she decided to adopt a healthier diet limiting white flour and sugar. She incorporates one soup meal per day. Over the last few months she lost 40 lbs and feels much better as all of her numbers have come down, and she's not done yet. Mom will be 94 in January.

    No statins here, I had a major blockage and they put a stent in. Everyone is different and vegetarianism didn't work for me but Carnovire did. I'm down 80 lbs and no longer on any meds of any kind. I was also a type 2 diabetic, and all my blood work is now normal, and I no longer have to take insulin. Patti, you do what works for you, and ignore the haters and their internet medical degrees. :)

    I went on a 20 hr fast and 4 hour eating window 6 months ago. It was hard at first but now seems easy. We took all sweets out of the house. No cookies, chocolate, sugar in drink or cakes and pies. Occasionally we splurge but rarely. I’ve lost 15 lbs. comfortablely in my size 14 jeans. If I would get good with cycling it would get even better. Congratulations! My favorite treats are popcorn or a baked apple with cinnamon no sugar.

      I disagree with you. The fact that Patti has turned her results around without meds is an important fact that needs to be discussed. Too many people jump at taking medication the minute a doctor introduces it to them. The problem today is people don't want to put in the effort to resolve issues because it's so much easier to take a pill. However, those pills start to cause other issues. I watched my father suffer for 10 years before he died because the meds made him miserable. On the other hand, my mother refuses to take any medication and is in her late 90s and still healthy. She eats lots of raw foods instead of meds. I think that says something. I'm in my mid 70s, and also do not take medications and doing fine.

      @@thespear4083 poison, really? Where’s the data to support your statement? Oh let me guess you read it in some liberal newspaper. Fact of the matter is that statins will remodel plaque that has accumulated in your arteries. This process of plaque deposition starts around the age of 12 thanks to our all American poor diet of fast food and processed food. Think about this….you are born with an LDL of 25. It doesn’t stay that way for too long again thanks to the American diet and bad genes. So you lost 13 lbs. Bravo, unfortunately that doesn’t mitigate a life time of plaque accumulation. Then again, if you made it to 80 with your high cholesterol it’s really too late to derive much benefit by adding a statin now. Just hope your plaque are nice and solid like concrete so they don’t break off and embolize to your brain, heart or lungs. Let this be a lesson, check your cholesterol levels early in life and get on statins as soon as your LDL is over 70.

    Timely this video. I'm 69 years old and vegan. Over the past year or so, and I'm not sure why; probably because I have a good blood pressure monitor, I decided to go ahead and do a reading for the hell of it. It was higher than normal. Last July I started tracking it every day and the numbers were in the 130's and 140's even the odd 157 and instead of taking good note, I just kept tracking and living my normal life. I wasn't fully aware of what levels Stage 1 and 2 hypertension were. My bad, I should have looked that up. I thought that because I was vegan, under 130 pounds and fairly good with light workouts, I didn't really have to worry. What I didn't realize was that I was too inactive, ate too many processed foods, including potato chips (often), all which contain high levels of salt. Add to that, I didn't drink enough water. All that changed when I got off the plane in Ontario to visit my daughter, and discovered my BP had soared to 190. My daughter took me right to the hospital. By the time I got to triage, my BP read 201! Blood was taken to ensure my kidneys were not the problem, which thankfully they were not and I was given a prescription. I wasn't too happy with how quickly that was taking the readings downward so I decided to look up: 1) the biggest causes of high BP and the 2) the best things you can do to fix it. I cut out all added sodium from my diet instantly and counted up any that showed up in the foods I ate, determined to keep the count below the recommended amount of 1200 gr. I started drinking a lot of water in the day, added fibre rich whole foods and cut out most all of the processed foods. I started walking, every day for 40 minutes. We have bears here back on Vancouver Island so I decided to get a desk treadmill that I could walk on while watching UA-cam videos. Very quickly my BP readings were in the 120's and below where they should be. I just want to point out here, that I felt absolutely FINE throughout this entire episode. No ill effects physically AT ALL! When they call this the silent killer they do so for very good reason. People die every day from this and I'm sure a lot of the stats point to high BP as the prime culprit. Gladly I was able to stop the meds a week after I got home and tracking this, I seem to be doing really well. Thanks for this video. Everyone should be tracking BP for sure!

    Thank you for this post. At 72, I don't take any medications either. I've followed a Mediterranean eating plan for most of my adult life with years of no animal products thrown in. Until a serious bout of depression earlier this year, I walked almost every day and maintained my weight easily. But like you, I grew tired of it all and allowed myself to eat whatever I wanted and didn't walk. In October, I decided to be kinder to myself, and I started walking again (love those endorphins!) and stopped eating most processed foods, and went back to a Mediterranean style of eating, letting go of 12 lbs of excess weight. Now, all I have to do is find a new doctor. Living in SW FL, I'm finding this much more difficult than losing weight. Your post has encouraged me to persevere and find the right practitioner for me, and I'm hopeful I'll succeed.
    Congratulations on your success! And thank you for your honesty and for sharing your thoughts. I wish you all the best! Take good care!

    I’m inspired! I went off sugar 2 months ago and feel SO much better. Last week I did some Christmas cookie baking and ate a few. A couple hours later I felt yucky! So I’m back to sugar free again. I’m 50 and it’s getting tougher to keep the weight off. It’s an effort but worth it. You look gorgeous and I love your mantle! Merry Christmas from Texas.

    You're such an inspiration! I'm one of those people that had problems with a staten I was given so they gave me a different one. Problems are mild compared to the first pill but still there, so I want off. I'm a complete carboholic but I understand things have to change. I'll join you on your no sugar, no salt diet and hope I'm mature enough (75) to not cry about it. Thank you so much for sharing this!! 🙂💕

    That is exactly how I was feeling, Patti. I used to walk all the time. I used to eat lots of sugary things and processed foods. I finally got so sick of seeing how I looked in pictures (I never could see myself until it came to a photo)that I had to do something. Finally doing what you did but food has become soooo expensive! I cook from scratch. Grocery is my biggest expense! Even with no wine, no surgery things and no processed foods. Lots of veggies, protein (chicken or fish or eggs), and some fruit. Hope I can lose 20 lbs.

I took myself off a high dose of statin , two nasty blood pressure meds, and more by making lifestyle changes . I also have a family history of cardiovascular disease. I DO eat meat, eggs, fish, and really limit dairy and fruit. I have digestive issues which make eating kind of complicated but O can do it! And so can you! Please share your meal ideas! ❤

We are 2 peas in a pod when it comes to chocolate and chips, etc. I haven’t had my blood work done for a while now but I have gained weight and not happy about it! We are going to PCB for the winter and 6 months ago I said “ok I have 6 months to lose some Weight and guess what … now it’s getting down to the wire and I still haven’t done anything!! Well this video has inspired me to start cutting out the salt and sugar as much as possible and get doing some walking. I would love to see some Ideas for lunches and dinners that you use .. I already usually have oatmeal with walnuts for my breakfast each morning. Congrats to you for doing so well.

      Have you considered fasting, only eating 2 meals daily during a window of time within a 6 hour period. Plus do not eat anything after 6pm every single day, and don't start eating before 10am, if you reduce your calories to 1000 daily, you'll lose weight.

    Pattie congrats on the weigh loss. Life gets interesting as we get older doesn't it? I remember each time I've gotten news I wasn't happy about from the doctor. Every year seems to bring some unwelcome news. Some I can't do much about some I can. Funny tip. We went on a cruise to the Mediterranean 2 weeks ago. People asked if we gained the usual cruise weight. We laughed and explained that with the constant walking up and down what seemed like a thousand stairs and walking all over we both lost weight. So walking does work for weight loss folks. I'm back to a less strenuous life style which is kinder to my 70 year old arthritic and worn out bones. And back to watching my eating choices too. But it can be done.

    Just found you on UA-cam, I really enjoy your videos. I’m 70 and too had some test as I was concerned about my cholesterol as my mum, grandmother, and two brother have had heart attacks. I have like you done so much research about statins . At present I don’t take any medication and I will not take statins or blood pressure tables. I take a 30 min walk a day and take no processed food. This life style that I do is only in the last 6 months. My doctor decided I should have a blood test . The results are in and I’m so happy that my cholesterol was 3.6 and everything was normal. With a little effort it can change so many things. Thank you for your videos and I enjoy following you.

  • @maryjones1

    Thanks for sharing. It’s often in the little things; small changes. I am not a vegetarian, but have recently cut out my beloved milk, sugar, cut way down on butter, and started reintroducing daily fruit and vegetable shakes. Doing these simple things alone, has enabled me to lose 10 pounds in the past month. Now, that was not my goal, it just happened that quickly. But, now, it is levelling off to about 1 1/2 lbs. a week (my goal). I have had a heart attack, do have high blood pressure, (but normal cholesterol) for which I have taken a long list of medications, since I was 40. I am now 63, and want to try to not have to take so many drugs, and or at least cut the doses. Like you, I like to do a lot of research in respect to my health, rather than relying solely on a medical professional’s opinion. This comes from the experience of a doctor not handling a medical condition of mine properly in the past. As a patient, it is good to advocate for yourself.

High cholesterol even after losing 50 lbs. Cannot take statins. Now I’m taking Red Yeast Rice and it has brought my cholesterol numbers into normal range. Even with that I still have to maintain a very strict whole food plant based diet or my numbers go up. You look wonderful and I’m happy to have found you.
