I would love to interview if you're interested let me know send me a message veganlinked.com/contact
Hello, do you even never took vitamin B12?
@@mariotschenet1015 he probably does take B12 because he's vegan and doesn't get it from an animal that was supplemented with it or cross-contaminated with it via feces during the slaughtering process. So I hope he takes a simple supplement of B12.
@@mariotschenet1015Same question I had..
I am also 70 and vegan and plant based. Thanks so much Tim for trying to spread the word. I know there is a lot of resistance. I run 20 miles a week.
What do you eat in a day
@@our.secret1130 I eat sometimes kale, sometimes spinach, probably 8-10 servings of fruit (apples, bananas, a lot of berries in oatmeal etc), most of the time a good serving of mushrooms, brocoli and bell peppers with humus, oatmeal often with hemp, amla , fenugreek powder and hemp seeds, small amount of almond butter with chia, seaweed (those sheets are so good), barbara's shredded wheat with soymilk and walnuts (really good), sometimes rice or farro or quinoa and beans. Mostly unprocessed. I supplement with B-12, vitamin D and vegan k2
veganlinked is a liar, he deletes any answer that doesn't agree with him. and that is america.
he is afraid. without cholesterol we suffer, except we are hypercholesterolemia people.
I been eating 80 % raw plant base diet ..no salt ( salt rots your arteries and stomach lining ) no oil , I use lime on all my salads..I love the fresh lime ! easy to eat salads with no oil ! I have no arterial plaque , I look 30 years younger than people my age.
I eat no spinach because of oxalates are high in spinach ( I eat low oxalate plantbase diet ) I eat one meal a day sometimes I eat two organic apples if I feel hungry . I take 2 magnesium chloride in tablets , 6 mg of Boron mineral , B6-100 mg. and 1 mg copper and I eat raw ginger every day.

my second book i like is ;
Dying for a Hamburger: Modern Meat Processing and the Epidemic of Alzheimer's Disease Hardcover - July 1, 2005
www.amazon.com/dp/031234015X/?coliid=I2LR6UM93QK00J&colid=19UMQ0U06JRA5&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
One in ten people older than sixty-five, and nearly half of those older than eighty-five, have Alzheimer's disease. It's widely accepted nowadays that memory loss comes with age. Alzheimer's currently robs at least 15 million people of their identity worldwide. This book makes the controversial claim that eating meat may contribute to the development of the disease. In Dying for a Hamburger, Dr. Murray Waldman and Marjorie Lamb draw upon documentary evidence, historical testimony, and inspired speculation to suggest that Alzheimer's: - is a new disease-elderly people did not experience symptoms of dementia in such alarming numbers in the past began appearing after modern meat production techniques were introduced- has soared in nations where these techniques are used- hardly exists in cultures where meat consumption is low- has been attributed to many deaths that are actually the human equivalent of mad cow disease.
They present startling evidence that Alzheimer's may be part of a family of diseases linked to malformed proteins known as prions. They hypothesize that the conditions that allow these brain disorders to be triggered are similar. They propose that mad cow, its human equivalent, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), other encephalitic diseases, and Alzheimer's may have a common antecedent. We know that a form of CJD is transmitted to humans who eat contaminated beef. And we are becoming increasingly aware of the need to monitor the meat supply closely to avoid a repetition of the mad cow scare in Great Britain. But suppose that Alzheimer's also involves prions--the evidence that points in this direction is growing. And suppose that Alzheimer's is also associated with tainted meat. This conclusion seems far-fetched--at first. In this compelling book, the authors come to a frightening conclusion about our seemingly insatiable hunger for hamburgers. Destined to provoke heated argument, this book is definitely food for thought.

Great interview. I'm almost 80, a wfpb vegan, and on no medication. I think the hardest part about being wfpb is the resistance from friends and family to embracing this lifestyle. I have a good friend who was just diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and I'm going to attempt to talk to her about her diet. I have a feeling she won't give up her SAD diet, but I have to try.
where do you live? I'd like to interview you if I could! if you would like...
@@VeganLinked I wouldn't make a very good interview, but thanks for the offer.
But isn't the SAD diet much more than just a meat diet? Isn't all the highly processed food in the SAD diet the real danger?
Yes, Shirley. We had a neighbor lady who came down with cancer. My wife and I pleaded with her husband to try WFPB, but he baled at us. It is truly sad how they stick with the SAD diet.
@@shirleywolff611
Some of the best interviews are other normal humans like us. I’m guessing when/if you ever change your mind or more up to it you and you’re story would interest others more then you think and prob help others like your friend more then you know. ✌️
I'm 70 as well and I have not eaten any meat for 50 years and went vegan 22 years ago. No health problems and I don't take any medications. My usual cycling route is 50 km in very steep and hilly countryside. I am so grateful for what I have learned and thankful for my wonderful health.
Go vegan for the animals, the planet a d your health.
I'd love to get your story, if you're interested let me know!
@@VeganLinked My story is pretty boring. No major health issues that I overcame through diet. My secret is steady determination and a total lack of concern about what other people think of my lifestyle.
@@embraceuncertainty7127 yeah, but I want to capture it! Let me know if I may, if you would like that. Sharing as many of these long term stories as possible is powerful in normalizing this and makes a significant impact ❤
@@embraceuncertainty7127 I'm only 11 months in a plant based life style and what little you said helps me so imagine getting more would do for me and many others.. So consider sharing my friend. It matters, YOU matter...
@@wallacesousuke1433 you just got blocked too 🤣
There still is a lot of resistance. There is also a lot of new research and studies done that prove plant based for longevity. I don't enjoy killing anything. I even put flies out instead of killing them. I'm 81.
44, ethical vegan since 14years,love you all for beeing vegan
Went vegan for 6 months, never got sick over winter (for a change), lost 4 stone , was the healthiest I've ever been, came off it and now have all sorts of medical issues, going back on from today
Remember vegan is not a diet it is a philosophy. But the healthiest way of eating is a whole food plant-based diet consisting of legumes grains greens fruits veggies mushrooms nuts seeds herbs and spices in a variety of each and that's vegan as fuk! When you truly embrace the philosophy of veganism you will always be vegan and you will find a way to make the diet and lifestyle work. It would help probably to befriend someone who is vegan that you look up too if you can. Best wishes in your endeavor and don't be afraid to fail it's okay we all do. That's the path to success. And that is having the capacity for Applied failure. So keep learning and keep trying and if you need additional help then maybe consult with someone who practices lifestyle medicine :-) or reach out to the community! Thank you so much for sharing and your honesty
When he said "you're in it alone because you don't have much support from family and friends" that hit me.. Going through that right now!
I'm trying to eat raw vegan for health! Nobody gets that!
@@shantinaturechild3239 We get it!
Be strong. Don't expect any support from outside. You have got everything you need to achieve anything you want in life.
Life is about learning the art of living and it's new at every turn of the road. You should swear to stay true with your mission and be determined to surprise those people with your results.
I'm so thankful that my wife was onboard when we started switching to a plant-based diet. Having support makes such a huge difference!
Yes it does!
I just love these Vegan personal stories..I’m 54, turned vegetarian 12 months ago and Vegan the last month and feeling great..I wish I was Vegan from day 1..better late than never 😊
Thank you so much for watching and commenting and so glad you found your way!
Well said ! I’ve been vegan for 15 years. Best decision I ever made. Also an animal rights activist. He nailed it !
Awesome
WFPB saved my life! I once was 320lbs and now I'm 145lbs. I have been WFPB for almost three years and will never go back.
Save the Animals and save yourself.
That’s incredible! Vegan Stories need to do a story on you!👏🏾
Great testimony Angela
Love some of the things he says, it’s true you have to fight through some of the social stigmas but it’s so worth it.
I’m only 9 months WFPB but I’ve lost all of my excess 60 pounds and have boundless energy. This morning I did weights for 30 minutes then jump roped for 45 minutes and could have kept going. I’ve never felt this good and I love the food!!!
Wow he looks fantastic! Really shows how being WFPB can make you look at 70! And he’s so active. 👍👍
Thank you Melissa. Enjoy your health 🎉
Thank you for producing a real life example of how life changing being vegan can be. I'm 55 and been Vegan for 14 years, the best ever decision in my life has helped me be illness free and healthier than when I was in my 30s. Wise words in this video,help your self and help the environment go Vegan. Thank you. ❤️
Thank you David for supporting the transition!
What you eat daily basis plz
I think that eating a well balanced plant based diet can have some of the most profound effects on your own personal wellbeing and even contribute to environmental changes. Educational platforms can help, find something that engages you and experiment with it. What works for me may not work for you. All I can say is eat as clean as you can,eat fresh,raw, organic if possible, cut down as much processing foods as you can. Reduce things from your current diet slowly if needed. Removing dairy from my diet helped me clear a long suffering signus and breathing condition. Hope what ever you do helps in a positive way for you and the world outside your door.
Thanks for explaining the truth. Being a CAD patient with 90 percent blockage in RCA without any angioplasty my angina has reduced atleast 50 percent after I become vegan with fruits and raw vegetables for last three years.
Thank you for your testimony. We must always persist in getting the word out ❤
That is great you eat a healthy form of veganism!
I wish I was vegan long ago. Save myself from lots of pains and aches.
One of the most genuine talks on veganism I have heard. Really appreciate your candid feelings and experience with your father and others. Diet, exercise and fasting are the secrets no doubt to living healthy!
Delhbiz, yes, WFPB eating with exercise and fasting. Our bodies are meant to thrive.
😍
Got diagnosed with cancer in 2021 and was a huge carnivore up till that time. After I got treated I switched to mostly WFPB. No meat since Sept 2021, did have fish from time to time but hoping to go fully WFPB. Interestingly, both of my parents had heart attacks as well as one of my siblings and i had high cholesterol. I was worried about blockage later but had a test this year and doctor showed no blockage at all. This has been challenging but my health and life depend on it. One of the best decisions I ever made.
if you don't mind me asking, what kind of cancer was it? do you have family history of cancer? and could you go into a little more detail on how going WFPB affected your health, and whether your blood work or other analyses reflected the change? also, have you changed the amount exercise you get since you started WFPB? thank you for your time.
The best decision you made for the life if Others, too 👏👏👏👏👏
@@georgemartyn5268 Ah good question. It's prostate cancer, and my father passed away from it, and had two uncles and a first cousin. I used to exercise before but now focusing on aerobics in addition to weightlifting. My cholesterol has come down and during a few blood pressure tests, the attendant nurses asked If i was a long distance runner given my resting heart rate 😗.
@@MParix must admit it feels nice knowing I'm not killing other sentient beings
@@dmcarden what is your resting heart rate?
It's great to meet Tim and hear his logical outlook, to see how well this lifestyle works, and to know he is a healthy, helpful ambassador for living a good life. I love that he cares about all of it - his own health and the health of other people as well as caring for the planet. And I especially appreciate that he cares for the animals who are so horribly exploited along the way in the current S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) boondoggle that is causing so much destruction and suffering on so many levels. Excellent interview! Really enjoyed it. Thanks to both of you.
He looks younger than some of my coworkers who are in their 50s. Makes me proud to be 8 years vegan at the age of 24.
The 50 year co workers must be smokers because brown looks like an 85 year old man
@@TV-ob1if No he doesn't
You are joking? He looks half dead
Is he depressed?
Lord forgive me but he does not look 50, he looks like late 60s. I appreciate his story though
Shared! Arteries as clear as a 16 year old. Vegan since 1988. V v low cancer or heart attack rates with vegans.
Brilliant story. I wish I had a father like Tim, such an inspiration. Wish you tens of years in good health to come!
An example of a great Human Being 🙏🙏
Thank you, Ron
It’s so good to hear how you and your wife support each other in this lifestyle. I’m with someone who complains everyday about his aches and pains and thinks it’s clever to make fun of how I eat . It’s very frustrating to listen to and not to say anything 😬
I really applaud you as I’m a carer for my husband and have to cook for him sadly I’m not fully vegan yet hopefully I’ll get there
It’s because a vegan diet isn’t optimal. You can claim it all you want, the science disagrees
The longest living people in the world are plant based this was proven in the blue zone maybe they had meat occasionally as a flavouring all the data I’ve seen proves this ...
Your'e not alone 🥰 keep going!
Hi Anne. Yes, I made the transition in 1988 during my first marriage. Holidays were challenging. I just kept reading from different sources to reinforce my opinion. I kept reminding myself with this saying, “Forgive them Lord for they know not what they do”
Have I got the maths wrong but this man is 70 he’s looks so alert, fit and clear
What an amazing man. Thankyou Tim Brown. As a 54year old I’m finally doing what Tim does after doing it age 33 for 7years and went back to majority and feeling more ill mentally and physically. Caldwell esselstyn is my hero. Thank you vegan kinked.
Thank you Catherine. Yes, there is a lot of resistance out there, but good-hearted persistence will prevail.
I'm 64 years old. Vegan for 15 years and haven't seen a doctor in over 14 1/2 years. Couldn't imagine living any other way.
Awesome, where do you live? It might be nice to interview You if you're interested. Send me a message if you are and let me know where you are at veganlinked.com/contact
He's so inspirational! Thank you for sharing his story. 💚
Bravo to this man. Voice of true wisdom. Your lips to gods ears. ❤ Went WFPB in mid 50's motivated by terrifying health problems. Vegan now since 2016.
I started a 3 months ago
Plant based dropped 35 pounds
Blood pressure dropped 60 points.
Sleep better and now workout
6 days a week. Power yoga. Bikram yoga
And weight lifting. Soon going to start running
Again.

I believe you...
Hey Can you recommend should I stop eating animal products? am 26 and since months am constantly fatigued, my blood panels are ok, I have no explanation. I eat quite a lot of meat and eggs. My weight is good. Should i try plant based diet?
@@puhacz4271 To become a plant base eater ..you need discipline..its not easy..
try to eat meat only one time a week..after a month ..try eating organic plant base .

all diseases enter through the mouth !
Good luck !
@@mikaelruskie3023 thanks! I can at least give it a try and order food delivery catering and choose plant based at least for a month
What a great story. And how wonderful he was able to reconnect with his high school sweetheart. He looks so happy having someone that is on the same page as him.
My dad ate a heavy animal based diet(part of our culture) and he lived until 95 with no health issues at all. No meds, no pain, no broken bones, he was mobile until the day he passed. He never went to the doctor to have regular check ups. Same with my grandma. They ate the same way.
There are always exceptions to the rule, that doesn't make them the rule or necessary at all. Perhaps your dad would have lived healthier and longer or more at peace having not had to consume animals.
In the Book, ‘The Blue Zones’, it is noted that people eating a Whole Food Plant Based Diet are 50 times more likely to live until 100.
Animal consumption doesn't defeat the most deadliest diseases. But plants seem to certainly do that.
@@Abrahamos for the most part yes, plants are most protective but nothing is a panacea ❤
@@Osc1llateW1ldly sounds like they lived a long healthy life. Too bad they didn't have vegan twins to see how things compared all else equal had they not eaten any animals.
IM 34 and being vegetarian since 22 years old..
Now IM going step by step being a Vegan..
That's great! What about whole food-plant based though? Healthiest version of vegan.
Beautiful message Tim Brown! You have convinced me to go whole foods plant-based diet again. I did it for several years and loved it. I fell off the diet and have been eating meat again for the past 3 or 4 years. You have helped me get back on the right path. Thank you, my brother. :)
William, thank you for your comment. It is so rewarding to know that I had an impact on your decision to return to a plant based lifestyle.
Where is there a place to put information out for the public.. other than UA-cam? I’m looking for live, in person gatherings.
National Health Association Conference, Animal and Vegan Advocacy Summit, hopefully Vegan Summerfest will pick back up. Most cities have a Facebook group, meetup, vegfests...
Being vegan is compassionate and kind to animals, the planet, and yourself. I see no reason not to be. :) Thanks for making this interview. I'll share it with others.
👍😊😊
Animals are to kill bleed and eat. But that you kill helpless veggies, while polluting the planet with fertilizers, farm machines, ships and fuel to drag that rabbit food all over the planet is sick. My dad made a healthy 93 eating sugar and never once working out...but only a vegan would suggest something that stupid.
@@TheDogPa How do the 80 billion farm animals, inhumanely, bread each year for slaughter get their nutrients? How do they grow so fat and fast? And where does their waste excretion go? With regards to sugar, I don't follow your writing. All I'll say is that every cell in the body needs sugar. We can't live on just protien and fat very long. You're probs just a troll anyway. Have a nice day.
@@Clarke1982 They eat grass in open fields, no fertilized, even round up with horses, all organic open fields. Meat is not bad because corporations produce badly...but veggies and carbs are simply poison for humans and are destroying the planet and there is no way to make that not be an abomination. Stop destroying planet shipping food polluting the planet. 100 times the carbon issue with farms. Look it up, you are clueless.
Thank you, Duncan
I love this. Somebody watching one of my videos accused me of using strong language and being “over the top” because I called eating animal products an addiction. I cannot tell you how liberating it was to hear this man say the same thing. Bravo Jeff another wonderful video!❤❤❤
Exactly what I say too. I think eating meat is more of an addiction. I hadn't heard anyone else say this either. I recently was talking to a friend and he admitted that he has an addiction to seafood. I was surprised he thought of it that way. He's been having health issues too. I've been mostly vegetarian my whole adult life eating meat sparingly but recently diagnosed with high blood pressure. I am taking a blood pressure medicine and adding more fresh juicing and almost fully vegan now. Hopefully I can reverse the damage I've done to my body. I'm also 2 or 3 times more active than before too. I'm 67
Thank you for supporting the philosophy.
Amazing video, thank you for sharing. Vegan for 5 years, my mom and sister the same, feeling great and never going back. ❤️
Thank you, White Truffle. Inspiring.
God Bless you sir. You're so honest, concise and informative.
Just went plant based been 3 weeks and I love it
You won’t regret it!!!
@@Adele-d9k definitely enjoying it lol , learning how to make planted based food and it been good so far
Great story! You don't look 70 years old. I'm vegan 6 years and never eating flesh again. My days are filled with RAW fruit and vegetables! 😀🍉🥝🍎🍍🍌🍊🍑🥒🍐🍆🌽🍇🍈🥜🍄🌶🍒🍓🥔
They like to say a plant based diet reduces your testosterone, but you're still Manley.
I’m 53 and I hope that I am as healthy as he when I’m his age. Ignore those who are addicted to the S.A.D. It is very sad that they want to discredit what has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt with very stringent clinical trials. You can’t deny the science…
Thank you, Tim
And how are ur energy levels? How long did it take to feel difference?
This was an excellent testimonial. I totally agree with your assessment that eating meat is an addiction no different than cigarettes.
What is odd is that people will try to feed their dog an excellent diet and only get a walk for because of the dog but for themselves, - they will eat anything and everything if it is advertised and think the pills from the doctor will let you do this forever. As it seems the majority are not only overweight but OBESE, they fit right in, don’t they?
With the amount of strokes, heart attacks, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s, asthma, GI tract problems, constipation, kidney disease, ulcers, not to mention frequent infections - how can anyone think this is the good life? Yes, these things do not all happen to anyone person usually but it ain’t much to look forward to. Oh, and I forgot all the joint problems from obesity!!! If one hopes to see grandchildren, are you going to be able to help your kids or grandkids or does this make you a burden? Anyone have “to become a burden” on your bucket list? It happens but it does not have to happen if you take care of yourself by being a dedicated Whole Food Plant-Based vegan.
To put up with the above, the Standard American Diet has to be addictive. Is being “addicted”, on anyone’s bucket list too?
Other things less frequent in vegans is depression, trouble sleeping. The one product I do buy more of now than before I was vegan except for fruits and veggies and grains is TOILET PAPER! Definitely no constipation here.
Been a vegan starting about 10 years ago. I was in a wheelchair. Got out of it in 3 weeks. I am 70 now and take no medications. On average, I walk 4 miles a day. Do some yoga and stationary bike if the weather is too cold or hot.
You look amazing for your age! PTL~ I'm 58 yr and been vegan for 30+ years and most people think I'm 45 years old. I also take no medications and completely healthy. Personally, as a RN lost a lot faith in the medical community! I credit my plant based diet to God and the Bible! It was his original design and there will be no meat eating in heaven too!
I love pork it's keeping me healthy and strong!
@@lifesgoodeveryone5407:
Absolutely delusional. Dead animal remains are extremely toxic to human physiology, especially dead pig.

Amazing! Thank you!
You're a great example of this way of eating. You are influencing others by following your truth. Friends and relatives get the feeling that we think we're better than they are. I love that Dillon Holmes of Well Your World says he got tired of trying to help those who didn't want it. Now he has a great UA-cam channel, etc. For those who want the help.
Thank you for sharing 😊
I became vegetarian in my country Argentina when I was 17., it wasn't easy, believe me., all they eat there is meat and on top of that my aunt used to work in a hospital in the department where they do plan the meals and all this ignorant dietitians told her that I was going to died because of the protein myth. I became plant based in 2003 after watching a video from dairy industry, I cried and couldn't believe how humans can be so cruel just to make money. I studied nutrition in 2011 and attended seminars from Caldwell Esselstyn, Collin Campbell, Neil Barnard and more and after I got my diploma I started doing consultations. Now I teach Yoga because it was so frustrating to deal with people that just believe what they hear on tv, and do what others doing without thinking about it. What I do now is that usually I talk about nutrition at the end of the class.
I am turning 67 soon and if I press the accelerator in the class no one can follow.
One think that wasn't mention in the video is the supplementation with b12 and also if you don't expose yourself to the sun to take d3.
Thank you for the video, but we have to remember that people want to hear good news only about their bad habits.
Never took a single medicine besides maybe ibuprofen or a couple of times antibiotics.
Congratulations! I'm from Argentina too and I know what you mean. There is an "asado" fetiche in our country, among higher and lower classes alike. It's really grosse and primitive. When I went vegetarian I was 20 and everybody attacked me. 6 years ago I went vegan and nobody attacks me anymore. They listen to me, they agree with, but they keep eating meat. It is sad. Just like you I don't take medication and I'm very strong
Thank you for your testimony Marcelo. Yes, I talked with a friend from Church the other day about a WFPB diet. She agreed with everything that I discussed with her but said that she could not do it because people would stop inviting her over for dinner. Amazing.
@@timbrown8454 people are selfish, they just care about themselves and also are weak, the don't have will power.
Now I don't try to convince anybody, if someone ask, I help., if not, I keep my mouth shut.
Fit for life is what made me a Vegan as well.. And it has been 25 years since then..!!
Lucky to have read that book at that point in my life...!

Yes, Fit for Life was a real eye opener for me.
Your a real inspiration! I’ve been vegan for 11 years now. Big love to you from London 🇬🇧

Oh, and teetotal since then too x
Congratulations Nichole on cherishing your health and your body.
Excuse me, Nichola.
I haven’t eaten meat for more than 6 years now. I don’t understand how people can be so blind as to what’s happening to all these animals everyday. Unnecessarily Inhumane and cruel!! We have to change. Thank you for sharing!!!
Big factor is there's no money in low fat, no sodium WFPB veganism and that's why its advocates are hated. Conversely, there is money to be had in holding up the status quo and thus people arguably become corrupted.
Typically people don't really give a crap about what they eat as long as it's affordable and it tastes good. The problem is the vegan food industry seems to like to gouge the customer. Why are vegan hot dogs more expensive than meat hot dogs? It's cheaper to buy basic ingredients and cook it yourself but there is no affordable vegan convenience foods.
@@vthomas375 You're aware this is exactly what has been promoted for the past 50years?
Am aware the status quo is being held up but are you?
@@vthomas375 what?
I did this all alone about 15 years ago. Five years ago, my husband got on board. It's so nice to have some support, but it isn't 100% necessary. People can change anything they want to change with enough willpower. After I saw my grandma's heart on the OR monitor after her heart procedure, I searched for a better way. I'm the only one in my family that doesn't have one or more degenerative diseases: cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, etc.
Thank you for sharing. Best wishes with your family ❤
Thank you for sharing, Suzy
5 years this Thanksgiving on the Esselstyn diet post heart attack. Angina reversed. Feeling like I did decades ago.
My husband too @Carl Baum. Congratulations!!
Here, too. Just 6 months but we are committed for life.
Warms my heart to hear! Congrats and may you have health in abundance for many many years to come!
Thank you sir, I need your example
Are you on no fat or low fat to help?
I so appreciate this man. Because he was ahead of his time, he faced much more resistance. He is right on the money in every way.
A lot of truth spoken there. We are addicted. We are lied to. We are inundated with advertising tempting us to eat any and everything that is bad for us.
Having support from family and friends is huge but many of us don’t have that.
He is a great example for us all. Good for him. 👏👏👏
50 here & Thriving on Plant-based. Feeling Good is a great feeling! Awesome info!
I’m 74 and been vegan since 1994. I’m so thankful I found this way of living. I have the heart and artery health of a young person. And of course I’m glad everyday that I am not harming animals or the environment as much as a meat eater.
Would love to get your story, if you're interested let me know
Thank you, Joan, very much.
Golden words 😊
Before he tries to convince anyone, he should ask, "How important is your health and healthy aging?" If they don't care, then don't bother.
So true.
Bless you♥️❤️
I'm 17 and vegan.. cardiovascular problems run in family.. but i didn't turn vegan cuz i was scared.. yes i was scared..but not for myself..for the innocent animals..
Anyways ..as a premed.. eating healthy and working out on a daily basis helps me to concentrate more on studies..
It's so rewarding.. as a 6'1" girl (I've always wanted to become a skyscraper..) i love my muscular but feminine body ..(i hated my feminine body initially tho cuz everyone would think i was 18 when i was 14..)
Awesome! We should do a project together! Hit me up wfpb@veganlinked.com
Remember to focus on minimally processed vegan foods like beans, greens, vegetables, and fruits. Jeff Novick's 10 Fast Foods are great, quick, cheap recipes. Glad you are pre-med because you will have a chance to influence others. Consider letting the military pay for your medical school in exchange for a few years of service so you don't have medical school debt.
74 years old. I'm recently influenced by how now doctor Brooke Goldner recovered from lupus and other illness by adopting a plant based diet. Before her, I learned about green smoothies from Victoria Boutenko. I'm not where I need to get yet.
I interviewed Dr Goldner recently ❤
Congratulations Stephen. You are on the right path.
Thoroughly agree addictive nature of eating animal products.
Working through the urges slowly but more easily with each passing day but wow when it hits, it hits hard.
Patience with myself and others who don't get it is part of the compassionate nature of this lifestyle.
These are great video testimonials. Thanks for sharing and keep ‘em coming!!
Thanks for watching and commenting. I have endless more to come! A new one every week :-)
woooow today you have so much vegan options, restaurants, vegan receipts online and vegan friends. But in 1988 that must be so difficult and you have to have a strong mentality to do your OWN things side by side with all skeptic meat eaters. I changed my diet in 2020 (daily dozen) and never bought again pure salt, oil or sugar to cook with it. Nori for salt, Dates for sugar and water for oil replaced.
Sir to see you with 70 healthy as you can, motivates me so much to keep going. Thank you very much for sharing your story with us 🙏🏼 Much 🫶🏻 from 🇩🇪 🌱
Thank you, Die for your support and comment. ♥️🎊
He is a great Ohioan, which is where I was born. His story is very inspirational but also partly sad story about the issues that family members have. I want my parents to live longer and healthier as there is the usual suffering at degenerative diseases we see of people eating the standard diet, at the age of 80.
For one, my mother, father and brother all have hearing problems. I have a very hard time believing this is just 'old age'. A long term study of mental health in patients in two hospitals, showed diet had an enormous benefit. There are flaws with the study and there's only one, because it's not randomized effectively, but it's all we have.
Some things can't be changed but it is clear that diet can fix blood pressure for the vast majority of issues, allowing them to come off of the medicines completely, but only if they are strict on the diet and with doctor oversight.
Well, I have many things to change about myself, many, and it is said we need to start with ourselves. Still, it's painful I can't help my loved ones reduce suffering.
Great video. Thanks. ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Going Vegan is not just because you care about animals, honestly that's not my reason for becoming one. My reason was because I've only seen benefits of going plant based, I'm able to be fit and have a muscular body solely on veggies & fruits with a couple grains. Anyone that says "You need meat" has been lied too.
Amazing story, I'm also vegan and plant based is the best in life, what you said is true!👍
Thank you, Annie❤
I'm fully convinced and committed and can't wait to see where this journey takes me thank you sir 🙏🏾
Go ahead. A lot of support available
I wish you great success.
Thank you, BTNX. Your journey will be well worth it.
Skeptical? The American Heart Association states a plant based diet reduces cardiovascular risk.

Can you really look in the mirror? This is America, a free country.
You are a liar.
@@getsecond who are you talking to and what are you talking about and what does America have to do with it?
@@michelinamai1752 who did this, what does mammalian milk have to do with anything, why are you tagging me in this? No mammals need milk beyond breast feeding, a cow for example only breast feeds for a specific amount of time, after that the calf grows to no longer need milk or exogenous cholesterol, same with Elephants, even chimps only breast feed for a specified time, only humans needlessly consume breast milk of another animal and beyond breast feeding, which creates all kinds of health issues in the human.
@@michelinamai1752 Meanwhile, there's so many vegans from conception, more and more every day and multigenerational even with zero deficiencies, zero medications, zero health issues, many who have been vegan probably longer than you've been alive.
Life changing.
I've been a veggie since 1970 and "almost" vegan since 2020 and I've had the same experience with no one else around me with a similar diet. My decision was ethical rather than health based. Mr Brown's diet is much healthier than mine.
So wise love this man!
Vegan 17 years! Much to all raw in this time! Look amd feel great compared to others and family my age also! Blessings to all 💛 🧡 💜 💛 🧡 💜

Hello!! Thank you for such a wonderful video!! We too live in Cleveland. In August of 2016, my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3B Colon Cancer. He refused chemo. We radically changed our diet and lifestyle, healing his body holistically. Wfpb is the diet of disease reversal. He remains cancer free and chemo free
Wow, I would love to do a video on this. Let me know if you're interested.
@@VeganLinked Sure!! That would lovely. How shall we connect?
@@barbaralee9564 where are you located? Or send me an email wfpb@veganlinked.com
@@VeganLinked We’re leaving for the holiday early Monday morning. I will be in touch after the holiday via email. Happy Thanksgiving!!
Great news, Barbara. I am grateful that you and Jeff have connected. So many could be saved from a horrific, painful death.
I’ve been vegan 40 years. I just recently went oil free. I wish I knew about going oil free earlier. I’m also gluten free.
Nice, it would be cool to interview you if you're interested
That's the same year I turned vegan. What a journey its been, let me tell you. I'm happy I never suffered from the usual heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Nowadays, I keep an eye on my omega 3 to 6 ratio and vitamin D. Interesting and relatable video.
Im 36 I’m grateful to hear I have a chance to change my health. I’ve lived a life eating burger fries, cokes, ect and I’ve always been overweight. Been vegan over a year it’s a great life.
Get rid of sugar, carbs. Not of meat.
You can do it!!
kills, meat kills, it kills the animal and the people eating animals slowly but surely.
get rid of sugar, salt, oil, flour, and other processed foods like animal, animal are processed too. They got nutrients from plants and their DNA processed those nutrients for their specific body, not yours. You don't have to perpetuate unnecessary violence.
@@diegomargozzini8668:
You're truly hilariously stupid. Human physiology is literally optimized for carbohydrates, especially simple sugars. Depriving yourself of that is like depriving a car of fuel. In contrast dead animal remains are absolutely toxic garbage to human physiology.
I believe it was meant for me to hear your story this morning. I met with my doctor earlier this week, and shared with her the thumping that I hear in my ear. She was concerned of my having pulsatile tinnitus. I'm 64 years old, and do try to eat right, yet I know I could do better. In my early prayer this morning, I asked God to tell me (generally speaking) what he would have me to know, and later on decided to UA-cam the difference between veins and arteries. Your story was playing silently in closed caption until I pressed it to hear what you were saying. I do eat fruits and vegetables, but probably not enough along with things that I know are not healthy for me. Clearly, this is the path that I should take in regards to my health. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm sure it will help many, along with myself, that will hear
I get that too when I don't take my multivitamins. Double your intake and see how you feel. I think it's lack of vitamin K and others found in citrus fruits mostly... I've been following Medical Medium and doing the lemon 🍋 water first thing in the morning and celery juice I make fresh.
If you really wanna live right don’t go vegan go full carnivore
Hi. It is good to know that you are taking your health seriously. Our bodies are precious miracles and for some reason we are prone to abusing them. The transition to complete healthy eating, for most, does not happen overnight. It is a lifelong process. Try your best to transition to whole green salads with lots of vegetables and a few fruits each day. Be kind to yourself. Lifelong habits die hard. Be mindful of each bite and chew well. Ask yourself, am I eating this certain food for the health of my body or just to please my taste buds. I wish success for you.
@@timbrown8454 thank you
@@debraemilligan thanks
Great to hear from him thankyou for sharing this
This guy is an excellent example of how this lifestyle can be, and he's absolutely right it IS a lifestyle not merely a 'diet' fad. I have been eating this way for around 7 years or so now, since I got very sick out of nowhere (I thought) when I turned 30. I have seen SUCH positive changes from eating this way and am passionate about spreading the word. There is lots of resistance and so much misinformation about the dangers of meat and dairy as well just falsehoods flying about on both sides. I'm grateful for a very level headed discussion about what this lifestyle can do for the human body. This is why we say "eat to live" :) Un-indoctrinate yourselves friends
Absolutely, thank you for the positive comment.
I also try it out..
Old Africa has much to teach the world.
I am a vegan for life. I applaud you for making this video, hope it reaches many people who fight for their life everyday. We are not made to eat meat otherwise we would have salivated by looking at an animal, we would have grabbed them and gouched out meat, but we can catch any animal including a chicken with our hands, running behind it. Check out Patrick Babumian.
Thank you Atul
We are made to eat meat not man made plants you're mentally ill
@@Serenity-tn4yn Each to their own. You missed the point if this man making a video about how vegan diet changed his life. I was a born vegetarian, but my forefathers were vegetarians 10000 years ago.
I'm 52 and vegan since I was 18 .I can honestly say I am as fit as superman
I would love to interview you let me know if that's something we can arrange if you're interested.
I am sure that you are, Andrew.
You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink it -/well obviously some people have never raised horses are animals -but if you shoot some salt to them & put a little salt in their mouth -they drink all the water -so what that means is ,you have to make the information that you’re trying to give to people appealing and it needs to be useful then they will receive the message!
Fantastic testimony
Switchong into vegetarianism (no meat and no fish) completely transformed my health and energy levels. I am regular blood donator and they are always amazed after blood test that I have so good blood. Of course I am not supplementing B12 and I have no deficiencies at all because I am doing regular blood tests 😁😎💖
What do you eat?? I don't know how to survive without animal products! I have 4 kids and my wife and I are interested in changing our diets to be more healthy but we don't know how! What is your diet????
Beans, greens, grains, fruits veggies, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices and a variety of each. Check out the daily dozen app by nutritionfacts.org it's free and easy and backed by the most comprehensive meta-analysis on nutritional science.
awesome, hopefully you'll decide to quit dairy. Please watch this 5 minute video: ua-cam.com/video/UcN7SGGoCNI/v-deo.html
Great job!!! I have also been plant based for about 10 years. I am 65 feel great!
Thank you, Cathy. We must keep planting seeds. Even if just a little one.
Good, informative video. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing this 👌
I love his response to how we get our protein and I am going to use that next time I get that question.
I use it all the time! I really shuts most people up right away!😂
and just like he says, the weight will just MELT off when you adopt this lifestyle. I also lost 40 or 50 someodd pounds from when I started, and I wasn't taking this up for the weight loss, it was for my health but BOY was I glad to see that go too! :)
I'm a 69 yr old whom in my teens became vegetarian, then vegan. I have put up with a lot of abusive teasing from family, friends, colkeagues, neighbors. BUT when it comes to physicals, I'm always the one who gets! shining results!
But I'm the the healthiest
I would love to interview, let me know of you would like that :)
Thank you, Maria. Keep on keeping on
Maria, I recommend interviewing with Jeff. It is a very pleasant experience.
Thank you everyone for your support for this much needed cause. Thank you Jeff of Vegan Linked, for orchestrating this presentation. The sentient animals are thankful, our bodies are thankful and the life of this Planet is thankful. There are over 1.5 billion cows on this Planet and each one is consuming over 20 gallons of water per day. The Rain Forest has had trees cut down on land the size of the State of Washington in order to grow grain for cows. Trees are needed to absorb C02 and to release oxygen. The manure runoff from cows emits methane gases into the atmosphere and produces poisonous algae that is polluting lakes and streams. GO VEGAN. SAVE THE ANIMALS. PRESERVE OUR HEALTH AND THE HEALH OF THE PLANET.
Awesome, we love you Tim!
Thank you tim for all your years of resistance & compassion. ✌️
@@stevelegreid i did a video on the animals vegans kill just for you ua-cam.com/video/Br2uwoDdEhs/v-deo.html
@@stevelegreid as for the cows, less than 1 percent of the cows people eat are grass fed. But I personally don't are about the water argument. Why do you support an industry the supports abusing and slaughtering animals?
@@stevelegreid that is an appeal to nature or desert island fallacy. We don't live in the wild. You most likely don't kill your food. I know veganic farmers who grow all their food and most of it goes to their community. We live in a modern world protected by modern luxuries. As a result we have the ability to evolve further away from our dependence on violence. In nature we would die at a fraction of our current lifespan from zoonotic diseases due to your dysfunctional dependency on animals without modern medicine. As humans we have collective potential to be extremely productive and end our debilitating desire for toxic things like smoking, eating animals, slavery, war, etc. We can invest in food forests, food not lawns, community gardens, our own gardens, veganic agriculture, vertical greenhouses, rooftop gardens, etc. Plant agriculture supports diverse ecosystems. Animal agriculture destroys diverse ecosystems. I much prefer a future of food forests over slaughterhouses.
You look fantastic, thank you for trying to get people to see the light. Sounds like you are in a good place now with your new partner.
Thank you, Norm. Yes, feeling great. The WFPB diet has been incredible.
I am struck that in 1978 there was a book talking about high-fiber diet on the African continent when only now we are focusing attention on the role of fiber in maintaining long-term health! (The Hadza, etc.)
In the 70’s, a book titled “Diet for a Small Planet “ was written. I can’t remember the author’s name. That book introduced me whole food plant based eating. Still trying to become totally vegan.
@@highlanderhorses:
What's there to "try"? It's not like it's hard to be vegan, it's extremely easy. The first thing you have to rid yourself of is the idea that it's not. Look around this comment section, numerous people who have been vegan fot decades with ease. There's really no excuse.
Yes, actually that book was my first introduction to healthy eating after my father’s heart stopped after surgery. ‘Save Your Life Diet’, by David Reuben. The book inspired me to eat more fiber. Thank you for the reminder.
I’ve been a vegan for 17 years, but sugar has been a huge problem. Today I’m 12 days no sugar, I’m taking it one day at a time. Hopefully I won’t have to count again, and one day I’ll just be free of added sugar entirely
@Ixtlander ` no, definitely not fruit 😂just added sugar period. I’m just going to eat fresh fruits when I get a craving for something sweet.
Good for you! I was vegan 🌱 on a Wfpb diet 25 years ago in my 20’s. I stopped after my mother passed away from diabetes & renal failure in 98. My vegan diet & lifestyle was up & down like a yo-yo 🪀 to where at one point I became a fitness instructor, training lots of clients and being a health expert. I was conscious of over indulging in high carbs like cheesecake and sweet drinks after workouts, because I was a shredded guy with lots of muscles with 12% body fat. I thought I could get away with a lot of those cheat meals until it eventually became a big addiction. I realized I couldn’t out train a bad diet, Lol. But, it wasn’t until early 2020 when the pandemic started, I completely stopped going to the gym and developed type 2 diabetes. My blood glucose sugar percentage went up to 521% with a really high A1c. My sugar cravings were really out of control until I got back on a complete whole food plant based diet. Note: when I tried going back to a vegan diet prior to now, it was pretty much a trash diet due to processed foods, carbs, trans fats, high cholesterol etc. What I found very helpful to me, was eating protein prior to carbs. I swapped out if yams 🍠 and sweet potatoes for lower complex carbs like butternut squash. For breakfast, I would normally have plain Greek style vegan yogurt and add a twist of lime juice, add a few slices of avocado, some Ceylon cinnamon, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds, Chia seeds, pomegranate seeds. I only sprinkled 1/2 teaspoon of the seeds to avoid high fats. I started making a lot of tossed salads with cabbage spinach from Trader Joe’s and swapped out regular dressings for balsamic vinegar dressing. I make a lot of curry lentil, green split peas and chickpea salads and I substitute all of my meats for fermented foods like the 3 grain Tempeh from Trader Joe’s. I found a lot of creative ways to marinate and season it with my own homemade sauces like general Tso chicken sauce, BBQ sauce, spicyTaco sauce. I eat a-lot of high fiber foods like quinoa and other healthy grains including raw/roasted almonds, walnuts and pumpkin seeds. Amazingly, it helps me too to cut all the cravings where I only have no more than 50-70 carbs per day. Also, look into blending organic cucumbers in Spring water and squeezing lime into it and having it throughout the day to stay hydrated. look into nutritional yeast as well. I’ve lost over 150 pounds in the past year following all of these tips. I hope some of this was helpful, please keep me posted. All the best.🙏🏼
Don't fall for the "sugar bad" bullshit. Human physiology is greatly optimized to run on sugars. There's a reason why sugar tastes so sweet and good. Never limit sugar intake, always consume sugar to satisfaction. Preferably through fresh and ripe fruit, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with adding sugar to your food, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
There’s nothing wrong with sugar until you have to get a foot 🦶 or leg 🦵 cut off👈🏼👌🏼or until you run the risk of having a dangerous stroke, high blood pressure and even worst. Hmmm, I wonder why America has one of the highest number of sick people.?
The United States leads the world in consumption of added sugars and we pretend like it’s not even a problem. America have the planet’s worst diet. Congratulations to all the idiots who tell you not to follow a healthy diet☝🏼
@@TheLeoLitCentral:
Spoken like a typical braindead idiot.
Diabetes is *NOT* caused by sugar consumption. Get that through your dumb skull, moron. Diabetes is what happens when *FAT AND TOXIC FAT METABOLITES* block the action of insulin and prevent sugars from being metabolized, causing them to build up in the bloodstream. It's the *FAT* that is the underlying root cause.
The reason USA has such sky-high rates of diabetes and other health problems is because of their immense *FAT* consumption. When you actually look at the data on sugar vs. those problems you'll see that there's zero association whatsoever, only when it comes to *FAT* instead.
There's a reason why people on high-carbohyate diets with abundant sugar *DO NOT GET DIABETES AT ALL* as long as they avoid fat; in contrast, people on high-fat diets become diabetic, even if they mask the underlying problem by avoiding carbohydrate. In fact, people in the latter group have *HIGHER* levels of HbA1c than people in the former group.
Seriously, gets your facts straight and stop parroting that retarded bullshit.
