I bought Essy's book and subscribed to your channel Rip. As someone who makes a living from running a large YT channel that heavily focuses on hunting, fishing, and outdoor cooking here in New Zealand I have had to take a hard look at my choices. I still hunt and fish but it has been 5 months now that I have been strictly WPF with no oil. It's been the hardest journey for me but I can no longer bury my head in the sand when Essy presents everything based on clear science and I see you shining bright Rip.
@Clay Tall Stories! God bless you for biting the bullet and choosing your good health over eating meat. We as 60 plus year olds did it and it was life-changing!! I surely applaud you and hope you have loved ones in your life cheering you on and joining you in WFPB LIVING! Congratulations again
I applaud you because I’m 70 and trying really hard to do this although my family eat all diary meat etc I reared them that way knew no better... I’d appreciate tips on how you succeeded, like you I can’t ignore the facts and my health is telling me so
I love how all the Esselstyns are so real and HUMBLE. I must admit some of the other vegans have “attitude” like they are smarter than you. Thank you all for being kind in your presentations.
5:41 no SOS WFPB - ideal diet 17:55 first reference to chewing 18:14 use vinegar with greens 19:34 where the video starts 22:20 1st issue - maillard reaction
Dr Esselstyn is sharp as a tack. Such a brilliant man. What a testimony to a plant based diet. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! Thanks to the Esselstyn family.
What happens to elderly who change to WFPB diet is nothing short of miraculous. I have to say truly what I see in the over 70 friends who have done it is just so fun. They love watching their Doctors’ reactions to greatly improved blood work, normalizing of BP, etc.
I respect all of you and your knowledge. I do need to share. I have partial dentures that do not masticate greens well at all. I started blending a pound of 75% raw mixed greens with 25% fruit. The greens are so potent, I don’t get any glucose spike at all from the fruit. I wore a CGM to see what was happening because I was getting low blood sugar feeling. It actually was lowering my blood sugar with no spike, so I have to eat food with my smoothies and my glucose stays in the 80s-90s. 😊
I’m so glad to hear this. I have to drink my greens. I have no teeth and no signs of getting dentures. The only way I can raw fruits and veggies is in smoothies and I feel it’s better than juicing.
I want to thank You Dr. Esselstyn and your family for your guidance and your expert advice since my journey on this wfpb sos free lifestyle that I have been on this past 7 months to reverse my CAD. I have lost almost 40 pounds and my cardiologist who also happens to follow your prevention and reversal plan, is so happy with my results. I recently had my cardiac work up, Lipid panel, carotid, echo, and nuclear stress test and for the first time in decades my results are all normal! I feel better than I have in so many years. Thank you!! 😊 There is no turning back for me. I feel like I found the fountain of youth! God bless you all! 🙏
My current green smoothie recipe is: + frozen collard greens (instead of ice) a few frozen pineapple chunks 2 cups chopped fresh kale (home grown, no chemicals) one small orange one banana wedge of lemon with rind wedge of avocado one chopped medjool date piece of fresh ginger, chopped 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon of black strap molasses 2 teaspoons of nutritional yeast 1/2 teaspoon amla powder 1/2 teaspoon shredded dulse 1 scoop of organic pea protein powder vanilla soymilk + This smoothie recipe has helped my mother age minus 15 years during the last 3 years according to the Levine Biological Age Calculator (based on bloodwork tests). She has steel cut oatmeal with berries and flax/chia seeds for breakfast and a variety of 100% plant-based meals for dinner, primarily whole foods. Some meal favorites are split pea soup with carrots/celery/onions/mushrooms/potatoes, spaghetti, tofu scramble, taco salad with rice and beans, roasted vegetables.
@@doddsalfa She currently has about 10oz of the smoothie every day at lunch along with a small bowl of split pea soup with mushrooms/carrots/potatoes/celery and a slice of Ezekiel bread with a bit of almond butter. Before lunch she has a small bowl of finely chopped garden fresh kale with a bit of fig balsamic vinegar and about a dozen raisins mixed in. As she drinks the smoothie, she chews on a few nuts and seeds (walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds). My mom has now aged minus 18 during the last 4 years since her most recent hs-CRP test result was 0.4 mg/L which indicates a level of inflammation of a typical teenager. During the last year I finally found Dr. Goldner on YT and I enjoy listening to her share about the amazing healing that happens to her patients when they hyper-nourish with high quality green smoothies. Cheers!
Dr E-he has a beautiful heart. Not only great intellect.”I get my arms around [my patients’] their concerns“. Heartwarming way of expressing his compassionate caring .💕
I have to be honest Rip. I barely notice the noise in the background that you hear from your mom . The music in others you tube videos WHILE they are talking is very distracting (annoying) to me. I love when your mom pops in. Thank you for the great content
This is amazing! Where else are we going to hear these facts about our cardiovascular system. Dr Esselstyn goes far beyond what any Cardiologist I have ever seen It seems the motivation and knowledge sharing is so different than most of us encounter..
Dr. Esselstyn, I'm a vegan and a zero-oil active 78 years old. I owe my health to you and your excellent book that I had picked up, along with that of Dr. T. Colin Campbell, years ago. The world desperately needs more conscientious doctors as you. Much obliged.
Makes me laugh when he names the oils etc. but I never got the msg till I heard him in a lecture say “No Oil, No Oil, No oil “ (quite loudly). I needed that hammer to my beliefs to hear the msg No Oils. So Blessed to have learned this💜💚
I enjoy seeing Rip be surprised. Every now and then he takes in a set of information that surprises him. It’s fun to watch. And his dad, has a voice that’s like ... I dunno. Like ice cream. Great duo. Love you boys 👊🏼
I bought a blender and I use kale, carrot, sweet potato, orange and an apple. My friend who used to go for a medical every year was always told about his high cholesterol readings so he also bought a blender and as he lives in Thailand he used to use kale, spinach, parsley, carrot, sweet potato, pineapple, apple, papaya, blueberries and strawberries. When he went next for his medical the doctor was amazed that his cholesterol level had dropped by so much. However I am prepared to give the kale and balsamic vinegar a go and see if I get the same results.
Vegan for 17 years. Dr. Esselstyn, what’s wrong with stevia? I’ve been using stevia powder in tea and coffee for years. It has not caused addiction to sugar. I’m SOS free. Thank you so so much for your work!! 👍🙏♥️
I don't know - because stevia is a leafy green. I eat the stevia plant. However, if you google it - it's a sugar alcohol that causes anywhere between endocrine disruption to digestive issues. That's what google says - how much of that is true, idk.
You should avoid all chemicals, preservatives, and artifical colors, if possible. Many of the artifical sugars have been identified as carcinogenic as have the artifical colors. Plus, artificial sweetners can trick your body into thinking it is sugar and for most people elevate your cravings for sweet things. No one has ever lost weight with artifical sweetners.
If I had all the money in the world, I would give it to you, to look after my mum, to help her lose weight and improve her health. Regardless, your family is inspirational, helpful nutritional advice aside, you show us what a loving family, and even, what loving bonds between friends, can be. You change the world and enrich each other's and others lives. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, you are wonderful people, who make the world a better place.
The Esselstyn's family are 1 of the best families on UA-cam today through my watchings. Dr. Essie is a great man and heart doctor as they come. Ann and Jane are 2 of the best of the best. They have a gazillion delish recipes to die for. They film demos on how to make the dish; and their camera guy is the luckiest to sample at 1st hand every time. And Rip.....well, he speaks for himself, what can l say......he is as good as his dad almost with endless-endless plantstrong everythings. l love Ann and Jane. p.s...l'm Chinese, we never drink our greens p.s.s....your tribute to Dr. John McDougall was the best out there......July 4th, 2024 today
Ciao dall'Italia alla famiglia Esselstyn tutta. Grazie per avermi regalato uno stile di vita che mi fa stare bene anzi benissimo. Tanti saluti anche da mia moglie Cinzia.
This was wonderful! I couldn't join the LIVE, but thank you for the replay. I was so appreciative of someone asking about high cholesterol despite eating an oil free WFPB diet as this has been a struggle for me (for those interested it is at minute 47:43). Knowing I can ask for those blood tests as confirmation that the inflammation is low and thus cholesterol being around 200 is not a concern will be such a relief. Thank you for this information and your time, Dr Essy, Ann, and Rip! What a generous and wonderful gift to us! :D
Thank You for sharing this information. I’m 60 days into eating only plants/vegan foods. from 287 to 266, but had not heard the importance of eating/ chewing these greens. I will certainly begin eating them this way hereafter💚💚💚💚💚
Gosh, one video and you're changing the way you eat your greens. Ask yourself, where is there any substantial published evidence that chewing greens is superior? Amazing people will buy into such "advice" because of one mention of it. Some evidence rather than hunches. Eat your greens, everyone agrees, but chewing them in any manner other than normal eating has no evidence of extra value.
I wish Americans, who are so pervasiveness sick, would hear and study this Ultimate Truth about food. This particular video is a remarkable summary. I am 74 years old and just getting over covid: vegan for 7 years and my doctors find my health ( aside from covid) is remarkable. Btw...I haven't lost my sense of smell or taste with covid. Just disappointed about giving up my single cup of coffee in the AM...but Dr. Greger found this also too....ugh...need to find a replacement that's just as satisfying.........black tea here I come.
I love that he gave credit to Brooke goldner, and I want to point out that people with dental issues may not consume at many greens without being able to put them into a smoothie.
This has been a great discussion. I learned so much and appreciate the information. It is thought provoking about chewing vs smoothies and I am pleased I am familiar with the Goldner protocol for disease reversal. Since I have neither heart disease or auto immune issues, I am somewhat cherry picking some of the ways to get my nutrition. I have been using the green smoothies to get my greens and chewing all my other raw vegetables. This is a huge improvement over my previous diet, so...
A number of studies revealed that olive oil phenolic compounds can amend endothelial function by increasing NOS expression levels, including iNOS and eNOS, hence increasing nitric oxide bioavailability
I enjoyed every (I repeat every) moment of this interview. Rip handled it so well but Dr Essy stole the show with his superb knowledge, memory and delivery skills. The world urgently needs more Dr. Essys. Not to miss thanking Mrs Ann for her classy cooking tips. Top, top class! 🫛🥬
well I know that vinegar really burns. I don't eat it due to being a part of the alcohol industry. Only if I'm really ill will I use it. Acetic acid is a saturated fatty acid. Luckily acetic acid exists in more than just vinegar. Although I would imagine anything with acetic acid would trigger the GERD - maybe this list will help: apples, grapes, pineapple, strawberries, and oranges according to vedantu's website. I would say they all have equally bothered my stomach equally with their acetic acid - so I guess you'll just need to experiment to find the lesser of the evils.
Is there a link to the video on exercise mentioned. Thank you in advance and have a thoroughly fantastic, fun, healthy up adventurous day. Best regards Marianne Thornberg, Denmark 🥬🥔💪
Thank you for all the work you and your father do in educating and inspiring us. Do you know if rhythm disorders (PVCs, afib, etc.) can be reversed through diet? I know those are more electrical rather than structural issues, but wondered if they can be treated through diet.
Shalom dear friends! With the world of respect Dr Esselstyn, why would cardiologists like Dr Steven Gundry and Dr William Davis "motivate" us to use copious amounts of "heart healthy" cold pressed extra virgin olive oils... thank you!
I didn’t see any scientific literature that suggested Stevia may be harmful to the endothelial lining of blood vessels and in fact has properties that act as vasodilators, is possible to include citations with any of this? Thank you!!
I really enjoyed this! In a round-about way I get the idea that Dr. Esselstyn is a fan of chewing over drinkin greens for people with heart dissease but gave a nod to Dr. Goldner in her emphasis on green smoothies - perhaps OK if heart dissease is not your main problem?
Dr Brooke Goldner saves lives with green smoothies, you can't discourage people not to do em, they are quick and easy convenient, not all of us have time to chew 6 or more salads a day, get real here
23:20 I heard the maillard reaction is what results in glycation. I really have been wanting to know how to avoid it - and so he's saying avoid blending fruit! I like that.
I have hashimotos disease. I tried eating cooked greens and I got immediately sick. When I eat greens completely raw I have been able to put my hashimotos in remission. However, I have to eat up to 4 lbs or leafy greens each day to keep myself in remission. It's hard to eat that much alone. So I put it in smoothies.
@@kayleepeadenartwork2278 too much Greens Raw can cause Oxalate build up in the Kidneys and cause Kidney stones, make Sure" what Greens you Eat Raw daily, Some Greens have more oxalates than others and Spinach is the most highest. Kind Regards
@@DanielMacleod777 I've actually been doing this for years and no kidney stones. They actually say if you rotate the greens no oxalate problems since there are differences between the types of greens used. Plus.... I'd rather kidney stones than laying in bed all day dying from my disease. :)
@@DanielMacleod777 I would agree. Plus some things from science don't always pan out. I think they take a normal average diet and then pair it with something like greens and say oxalates they are bad! And they are if you aren't rotating greens (this is science fact), and I also wonder if I was eating animal meats if it would be more likely as well....
I personally prefer chewing because: - processing any food through cutting is going to increase the likelihood of contamination! It also goes rancid more quickly. - cleaning a blender and cutting utensils is arduous. - blending is overcomplicating eating - chewing is more natural and what our bodies are designed to do! Blenders don't exist in nature.
Dr. Essy, In areas like Okinawa and central Africa where the population has a very low incident heart disease. Do these cultures eat a total whole food and plant based diet, with not meat or oils?
Chewing wheatgrass or barley grass is fun, but it takes a long time and ultimately you have to spit the fiber, so I certainly prefer juicing the grass.
I had my main molars removed and can’t have implants or bridges so my chewing is severely compromised. Rip or Dr E, how do I move forward with your program please?
The best worst candy when I was growing up in 50s/60s, Halloween or not, was a Sugar Daddy. Anyone of my era knows exactly what that was...no other candy in history was better at sticking to teeth all day long after consuming.
I know people who cut their bananas in half. If you're one of them, just peel them, and then put them in the freezer. It's the best way to have a "banana popsicle".
59:13 I give our popcorn for halloween - back when I used to. Pretzels are ok - but they're not gluten free. The next one would be chips - but those have oil. I just googled it - we're lucky to have hippeas in snack bag form. Corn nuts, trail mix, etc. are also nice (except peanuts to avoid for allergenic reasons).
59:13 I like the idea of handing out greens for halloween! I'll look out for opportunities like that. The closest I can think of are pandan leaf hard candies.
I am a kidney patient who’s lost a kidney to kidney disease and am also a kidney stone former. I am one of those who have to really watch the oxalates. However, I’m supposed to drink most of my water with lemon juice, to help calcium oxalate absorb. Will putting lemon juice on my greens work, or is the balsamic vinegar necessary?
I believe cooking spinach and other oxalates destroys the oxalic acid making those green harmless to the kidneys. Honestly, I don't know why that fact wasn't brought out. Surely the Esselstyns know it, don't they?
Listen. I’m going to drink my green smoothies. But I will continue to have dinner greens and midday greens that I eat. It’s all about balance and variety. I really love green smoothies. I look forward to mine everyday. I sip it very slowly. Usually 24oz I take 5 hours to sip it..
Great video. You recommend no sugar and Stevia, is honey OK, No nut oils or milks, can we eat nuts. What about seeds and Soya milk, Greens have calcium so good for nails. Thanks for your wisdom
He doesn't want his heart patients eating ANY oils. Others should avoid oils as much as possible (14% saturated fats). Everyone has better health if they avoid oils.
I bought Essy's book and subscribed to your channel Rip. As someone who makes a living from running a large YT channel that heavily focuses on hunting, fishing, and outdoor cooking here in New Zealand I have had to take a hard look at my choices. I still hunt and fish but it has been 5 months now that I have been strictly WPF with no oil. It's been the hardest journey for me but I can no longer bury my head in the sand when Essy presents everything based on clear science and I see you shining bright Rip.
If youre wfpb then stop hunting, friend. Quit causing harm to innocent lives. ❤️
@Clay Tall Stories! God bless you for biting the bullet and choosing your good health over eating meat. We as 60 plus year olds did it and it was life-changing!! I surely applaud you and hope you have loved ones in your life cheering you on and joining you in WFPB LIVING! Congratulations again

Good for you.. baby steps..
I applaud you because I’m 70 and trying really hard to do this although my family eat all diary meat etc I reared them that way knew no better... I’d appreciate tips on how you succeeded, like you I can’t ignore the facts and my health is telling me so
I love how all the Esselstyns are so real and HUMBLE. I must admit some of the other vegans have “attitude” like they are smarter than you. Thank you all for being kind in your presentations.

It’s always good to go back to basics, I find it helps me to avoid slipping into bad habits. Keep your endothelium in mind every time you eat

I enjoyed every (I repeat every) moment of this interview. Rip handled it so well but Dr Essy stole the show with his superb knowledge, memory and delivery skills. The world urgently needs more Dr. Essys. Not to miss thanking Mrs Ann for her classy cooking tips. Top, top class! 🫛🥬
Thank you to you and your dad! I find it hard to follow this diet because of GERD. any advice please? Lina
well I know that vinegar really burns. I don't eat it due to being a part of the alcohol industry. Only if I'm really ill will I use it. Acetic acid is a saturated fatty acid. Luckily acetic acid exists in more than just vinegar. Although I would imagine anything with acetic acid would trigger the GERD - maybe this list will help: apples, grapes, pineapple, strawberries, and oranges according to vedantu's website. I would say they all have equally bothered my stomach equally with their acetic acid - so I guess you'll just need to experiment to find the lesser of the evils.

This is Rip with Dr Will B.
They talk about 'training the gut' to accept foods that cause the harm.
What about beets ? Cooked or raw? I am currently eating them raw and also including them in my morning juice with celery, carrots, and other veggies.
That last question was the best! You can start turning your arteries around in 3 weeks by eating WFBP…. Amazing!! Thanks Dr. Esselstyn!!
Excellent Information! Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
Is there a link to the video on exercise mentioned. Thank you in advance and have a thoroughly fantastic, fun, healthy up adventurous day.
Best regards Marianne Thornberg, Denmark 🥬🥔💪
Thank you for all the work you and your father do in educating and inspiring us. Do you know if rhythm disorders (PVCs, afib, etc.) can be reversed through diet? I know those are more electrical rather than structural issues, but wondered if they can be treated through diet.
I would like to know as well. Good question.
And great last vision of a revolutionary change of public Health
This was a great presentation, Rip. I think you should take it on the road. Contact AJ she would love all your presentations on sugar, salt, oil.
Shalom dear friends! With the world of respect Dr Esselstyn, why would cardiologists like Dr Steven Gundry and Dr William Davis "motivate" us to use copious amounts of "heart healthy" cold pressed extra virgin olive oils... thank you!
Yes broccoli sprouts super easy to grow
I didn’t see any scientific literature that suggested Stevia may be harmful to the endothelial lining of blood vessels and in fact has properties that act as vasodilators, is possible to include citations with any of this? Thank you!!
I really enjoyed this! In a round-about way I get the idea that Dr. Esselstyn is a fan of chewing over drinkin greens for people with heart dissease but gave a nod to Dr. Goldner in her emphasis on green smoothies - perhaps OK if heart dissease is not your main problem?
Dr Brooke Goldner saves lives with green smoothies, you can't discourage people not to do em, they are quick and easy convenient, not all of us have time to chew 6 or more salads a day, get real here
What extra precautions should one take when one has had a multiple heart bypass-pass.Thanks
23:20 I heard the maillard reaction is what results in glycation. I really have been wanting to know how to avoid it - and so he's saying avoid blending fruit! I like that.
Ann is a fire cracker… I love her photo bombing her husbands interview.
Thank you 🙏
I have hashimotos disease. I tried eating cooked greens and I got immediately sick. When I eat greens completely raw I have been able to put my hashimotos in remission. However, I have to eat up to 4 lbs or leafy greens each day to keep myself in remission. It's hard to eat that much alone. So I put it in smoothies.
Also, I should say I'm completely off of levothyroxine and able to live a mostly normal life because of this.
@@kayleepeadenartwork2278 too much Greens Raw can cause Oxalate build up in the Kidneys and cause Kidney stones, make Sure" what Greens you Eat Raw daily, Some Greens have more oxalates than others and Spinach is the most highest. Kind Regards
@@DanielMacleod777 I've actually been doing this for years and no kidney stones. They actually say if you rotate the greens no oxalate problems since there are differences between the types of greens used. Plus.... I'd rather kidney stones than laying in bed all day dying from my disease. :)
@@DanielMacleod777 I would agree. Plus some things from science don't always pan out. I think they take a normal average diet and then pair it with something like greens and say oxalates they are bad! And they are if you aren't rotating greens (this is science fact), and I also wonder if I was eating animal meats if it would be more likely as well....
What greens do you eat?
Thank you for your video. Can Dr. Essy address those of us with LP(a) in another video?
I personally prefer chewing because:
- processing any food through cutting is going to increase the likelihood of contamination! It also goes rancid more quickly.
- cleaning a blender and cutting utensils is arduous.
- blending is overcomplicating eating
- chewing is more natural and what our bodies are designed to do! Blenders don't exist in nature.
I'm gonna do both chew and smoothies. Goldner adds kale and spinach to her salad bowl. Too
Great necktie Dr E!
Ann you have a handsome family thank you for all the info
Rip looks just like Mom!😃
Thank you so much!
When did you personally decide to go ahead and do this type of diet? How old was you?
Dr. Essy, In areas like Okinawa and central Africa where the population has a very low incident heart disease. Do these cultures eat a total whole food and plant based diet, with not meat or oils?
Listen to Dan Buttner - the people who live the longest eat nominal amounts of meat, almost no dairy & little oil.
Love to hear you guys it's helps me but hope I'll try my best pray for me please GB❤❤❤
My husband will not eat greens so I've been putting kale in is shake in the morning. Is that better than nothing? Thanks
29:30 I'm ok with chewing my drinks. I like that idea! I just don't want to break my teeth on greens.
Chewing wheatgrass or barley grass is fun, but it takes a long time and ultimately you have to spit the fiber, so I certainly prefer juicing the grass.
Could a squeeze of lemon or lime juice work instead of vinegar?
Want to know that too. Vinegars cause me arthritis like symptoms. Is lemon (or other citrus juices perhaps?) juice a good substitute?
I have TMJ and I cannot chew anything .. I have no choice but to drink my greens 😢
I had my main molars removed and can’t have implants or bridges so my chewing is severely compromised. Rip or Dr E, how do I move forward with your program please?
@@hortensejones4050 same here
I understand what they mean but what about Dr. Brooke Goldner and her Good-bye Lupus Protocol?
My parents don’t have teeth.
The best worst candy when I was growing up in 50s/60s, Halloween or not, was a Sugar Daddy. Anyone of my era knows exactly what that was...no other candy in history was better at sticking to teeth all day long after consuming.
I know people who cut their bananas in half. If you're one of them, just peel them, and then put them in the freezer. It's the best way to have a "banana popsicle".
59:13 I give our popcorn for halloween - back when I used to. Pretzels are ok - but they're not gluten free. The next one would be chips - but those have oil. I just googled it - we're lucky to have hippeas in snack bag form. Corn nuts, trail mix, etc. are also nice (except peanuts to avoid for allergenic reasons).
I like to dip my green beans in a bean dip, its that ok?
59:13 I like the idea of handing out greens for halloween! I'll look out for opportunities like that. The closest I can think of are pandan leaf hard candies.
Do Chia seeds damage the endothelium?
I am a kidney patient who’s lost a kidney to kidney disease and am also a kidney stone former. I am one of those who have to really watch the oxalates. However, I’m supposed to drink most of my water with lemon juice, to help calcium oxalate absorb. Will putting lemon juice on my greens work, or is the balsamic vinegar necessary?
I believe cooking spinach and other oxalates destroys the oxalic acid making those green harmless to the kidneys. Honestly, I don't know why that fact wasn't brought out. Surely the Esselstyns know it, don't they?
Listen. I’m going to drink my green smoothies. But I will continue to have dinner greens and midday greens that I eat. It’s all about balance and variety. I really love green smoothies. I look forward to mine everyday. I sip it very slowly. Usually 24oz I take 5 hours to sip it..
Wise! Eat greens the way they apeal most to you. The important thing is to just eat them!
moment we've all been waiting for!
Great video. You recommend no sugar and Stevia, is honey OK,
No nut oils or milks, can we eat nuts. What about seeds and Soya milk,
Greens have calcium so good for nails. Thanks for your wisdom
He doesn't want his heart patients eating ANY oils. Others should avoid oils as much as possible (14% saturated fats). Everyone has better health if they avoid oils.
@@annemccarron2281 oil are unsaturated fats, that's why they are liquid at room temp
What all do you put in your salad?
