Thank you Esselstyn family🌟You guys are exactly what our planet needs to help fix our health matrix. . . I am now a wealthy owner of “Be A Plant Based Woman Warrior”💫 I love your family so much💝
This entire family is the gift that keeps on giving! Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease and Engine 7 are the first two books that got me started on this wonderful plant based journey!
Thanks Rip for putting this on your podcast. I heard this last week and had hard time hearing your father on the FB. This information is golden. Ann’s advice and tips are great!
Thank you, I learned so much from this interview, even though I have watched many others with Dr. Esselstyn, this was the best one. As someone whose cholesterol went up after going plant based, I found his knowledge very reassuring.
Thank you. You answered most of my questions. Is stroke considered the same with the diet restrictions on seeds, nuts and avocado in respect to atrial fibrillation? Discussion about cholesterol and tests for inflammation is very useful for talking with health care pill pushers. I’m a star pupil of your program but still having to deal with the conventional one-size fits-all treatments and advice of the medical system. What a helpful family, you all are….hello from Canada.
Thank you. 😊 I can hear Mr. Esselstyn. I'm so 😊 happy I'm going to listen to this video over and over. I love listening to Mr. Esselstyn. I'm going to share this to my love 💓
I will stick to smoothie when I’m working as mid-shift source of food bc I rarely have time to sit and eat (hospital). I will try to make it a habit to have vinegar in the morning w my lemon water. The rest, eating whole plants as much as possible. Eating veggies and fruits helps me manage or alleviate perimenopausal symptoms! And I have sustained energy running around for 13 hrs at work and even get to walk 20 more blocks to the subway station after my shift. I recover better as well. Green smoothies w minimal fruits for flavor for me.
I want to say thank you guys. My husband is having health issues I bought your cookbooks and we are now cooking our way through them. He has heart disease and diabetes and high blood pressure. With your recipes I know we can get better.. again thank you
God Bless you folks for everything you do, and all the advice you freely offer. Just want to give a shoutout to the heart doctor who saved my life some 13 years ago, and would dearly love to become a patient of his again, but I do not believe he is in my current insurance plan. His name is Dr Keith Kruithoff. Does Dr. Esselstyn Jr. know him? I last saw Dr. Kruithoff in his office in Beechwood in 2017 when I had an insurance carrier that covered his services. I'm thinking I just might pay out of pocket to see him again and have him run some of these tests that you suggested. thanks and God bless for all your life giving advice!
Update on smoothies and NO. I was able to get to the threshold of appropriate NO only after a green smoothie made with non-organic greens. But I was NOT able to get to the threshold with organic greens. I was also NOT able to get to the threshold with steamed non-organic greens. So the smoothies won out for me. I do let it sit on my tongue for a bit. I’ll keep a pitcher of smoothie in the fridge instead of cooked greens. I am also getting fluoride filters for my Berkey water filter. Hopefully that helps even more. I bought Berkeley NO strips online.
I purchased the NO strips. The strips indicate that my baseline NO is ‘very low’. It didn’t matter whether I cooked my greens with balsamic vinegar, ate them in a salad, or if I blended them in a smoothie. My NO just elevated slightly to ‘low’ or in between ‘very low’ and ‘low’. I also experimented with exercise. That also did not bring it up from very low. I am 57 years old. I am going to purchase some NO supplements and see if that helps.
I just listened to this fantastic podcast! Thank you! I do have a question though regarding Cholesterol. Your Dad mentioned there are 5 blood tests you can take to measure your blood inflammation. I went back and checked the transcript and he only mentions 4. What is the 5th? While my cholesterol is low at 136, my HDL is also low at 38. My LDL is 73.6. I am trying to find out why my HDL is so low and the LDL is higher than I would like. I am plant strong for sure and would like to know if maybe like your Dad suggested, I'm fine even with these numbers where they are. Thank you again!
Thank you for all of the wonderful work you have put into this great program. I noticed Dr. Esselstyn's hands, his fingers are not swollen and his hands do not look arthritic. Would this by any chance also be the result of plant based eating?
I love this family. Dr. Esselstyn is changing cardio in the country. Love that he uses PET scan in his examples and also nitric oxide earlier--BOTH things (PET by Michael Phelps) and Nitric oxide by Lou Ignarro) invented at UCLA in the same dept. A happy marriage I am glad I was part of.
Not to take away from Dr Furchgott, Louis J. Ignarro and Ferid Murad w/their joint 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for their work related to "nitric oxide as a signalling molecule in the cardiovascular system". But 90 + universities, academies and societies acknowledge Dr. Moncada’s priority (first) discovery that nitric oxide is released by endothelial cells and revealing of its metabolic path. Over 20K citations of their fundamental papers in the scientific community endorse his primacy in this field. Robert Furchgott himself author of the brilliant discovery of the endothelium derived relaxing factor, that opened this field to the science, said about 1998 Nobel Prize: "I feel that the Nobel Prize Committee could have made an exception this year and chosen a fourth person, Salvador Moncada (to share the prize)". In good science your always building on others work.
I alway chop up my storks and cook and eat them with the green leaves. I like the crunch and chewiness. Saves prep time and I am guaranteed I have adequately chewed my greens.
Also Jay Kordich would juice numerous carrots per day, claiming that one, you cannot over dose on Vitamin A it gets stored in your liver, and you don't get fat with all the waste fiber from carrots , just the juice. I did it for years, and always was complimented on my complexion.
Hello Dr. My name is Senait, I am female 44 years old. I just ordered your book and can't Wait to read it. I got heart attack in 2021 and got Lvad in my heart. Do i have a chance to heal my heart? Since 28 of November 2022 i follow Dr MacDougall vegan diet. Thank You🙏💚
Yes drink them! I don't personally because it cost too much to do. Lol if I could afford it and didn't mind cleaning the juicer all the time I'd do it.
@@lorrainehannon7631 The short answer is - yes Have you seen the videos by Dr. Gill Carvalho? He has perused much of the research on this issue and has found that a limited consumption of plant oils is beneficial for your health .
Always think "beneficial compared to what". In other words, that diet is definitely better than the processed junk and the animals/animal secretions that most people eat, but it's not as good as whole foods vegan/no oil. The research bears this out. The Mediterranean diet still has animals, their secretions, and oil, just fewer than the SAD diet.
Thanks for the video and validating my diet as most are telling me WFPB SOS is bad 😂😂😂. Sadly I have to watch my family and friends all poison themselves as they are causing major arterial damage.
I am worried about oxalates, since I have a history of kidney stones. I've been avoiding spinach and almonds the 2 highest. So not sure if I can eat a lot of greens?
Can a rich diet in nitric oxide (green leafys) as described by Dr. Esselstyn help to prevent blood clots in Advanced Stage Cancer patients? I heard 1/4 of blood clots are caused by cancer. 🙏
barbara Ball , prepare the salad / meal put the whole thing in a food processor and grind it up until you can easily consume it , lol I've done this many times with veges. Good luck
Why do you say that natural oils from coconut,avocado,nuts,palm oil etc damage the endothelial lining?How do they damage this lining.? Just do not get it.
I gotta say… looking at smoothie ingredients under a microscope most of the structures of the fruit and vegetables are intact… esp when y’all are talking about “breaking down cell walls”…?
would'nt it be fantastic if this medical community for plant health could come to Australia and spread the information to the negative medical world that continue to keep giving out prescriptions instead of having the tools to change what happens with their patients...
Jay Kordich 'The JuiceMan" lived to well into his late 90's I believe, juicing veggies, and eating fruits......he claimed that it was healthier than eating all the veggies cause of too much wasted fiber
after trying a plant based diet i had chronic inflamation horrible muscle loss and low energy levels. As soon as i quit plant and vegtables my inflamation went away, my strenght and energy went up and i lost 35 lbs of fat! i cant speak for anyone else but this is what worked for me.
When the aliens come, they gotta meet the Esselstyns !!!! And Dr. Greger, too !!!! haha Just kidding Love all this gang, saving the world one open mind at a time! It's so hard to change your eating habits (I'm sure I'll always love my chicken wings, but I'm trying really hard to love them less). I'm doing it for ME (and for the chickens)! Thanks again, I am a plant-based woman warrior now (thanks Ann and Jane!). Much love from the Canadian Rockies xxx
I agree that we have good evidence that plant based diets do help an adult generally keep healthy. However, is it good for growing children you both developed your large frames eating lots of animal products without the meat dairy and eggs how would you of developed most vegan children do not seem very robust or well-developed as they grow into adulthood??
Sorry, but I've seen no "published study" indicating that chewing greens six times a day has proven to have any effect on future cardio health or longevity, above that received from normal consumption with meals. All I ask for is a single study with one group chewing greens six times a day and the other group simply eating their greens with a normal lunch and or dinner once or twice a day. No evidence has been put forth that it benefits cardiovascular health. Only conjecture and wishful thinking. We need science based advice.
Hey Delwood, this doesn’t bother me at all. I really enjoy a snack of greens with nice balsamic and sprinkled with a bit of nutritional yeast. A great snack any time of day. It’s not like Dr E is recommending something unpleasant. It’s helped me become a better gardener and cook too.
You don't need a study. You can experiment this effect yourself. Whenever there is a boot in NO production, your blood pressure would drop, and you feel your body is lifted up. The doctor has been experimenting with this for a long time and he knows. I feel the effect too.
Nice One … just I lost some confidence in your Dad after he gave thumbs up to the guy who was asking if he should use the double dose fluoride toothpaste. Fluor is highly toxic and offers no protection of teeth or gums. Non toxic is 3% Hydrogen Peroxide mixed with Sodium Bicarbonate as a paste 3 times per week will do the job
Adding: Fluor calcifies the thyroid so it doesn’t function optimally and since the thyroid controls the pancreas which again regulates insulin, that is the main cause of diabetes. Elementary dear “Watson” 😊

Have you looked into fruitarian or raw vegan
@@shinebrightandbethelight he has no teeth left to do a raw vegan..
Very informative! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thank you Dr Esselstyn
Please keep doing this wonderful work
Thank you so mụch ❤❤❤
Rip, thanks for such an informative session. Please do consider adding pre-steamed frozen chewable green nuggets into your product offerings
Hello from Tulsa, Oklahoma! Thank you for continued education!! Work in progress over here! Lol Your family is Amazon and such a blessing to us all🙏🏾
Dr. Goldner also recommends lots of raw cruciferous vegetables along with the smoothies.
Really enjoyed this discussion. I always learn something new. Bless you all!

You are so good ,and what an encouraging finale of good spirit

Daily green juices with minimal sugar is a huge game changer in addition to chewing large salads
I need that long sleeved kale shirt in my life asap!

Focus on TC/HDL ratio. We are born of LDL:HDL ratio 1:1. Also focus on triglycerides above 125 mg/dl is not good.
@@TB1M1 Esselstyn pays no attention to HDL. A high HDL can be inflammatory and not protective. Look at the website FAQ page for this info.
@@TONY-bv3fk HDL is still important metric
Thank you for all of the wonderful work you have put into this great program. I noticed Dr. Esselstyn's hands, his fingers are not swollen and his hands do not look arthritic. Would this by any chance also be the result of plant based eating?
Great conversation!
Amazing awesome family! So inspiring!
How often does Dr. Esselstyn offer his program to the public? And when is the next one?
I love this family. Dr. Esselstyn is changing cardio in the country. Love that he uses PET scan in his examples and also nitric oxide earlier--BOTH things (PET by Michael Phelps) and Nitric oxide by Lou Ignarro) invented at UCLA in the same dept. A happy marriage I am glad I was part of.
Thankfully the podcasts and their books have reached and still reaching a global audience so their helping many in our human collective. ✌️

Do you mean stems?

Lol ... that was a dumb typo. I think I will leave it as it is. Eating a water bird is a bit off topic but funny anyway.

When will "prevent and reverse heart disease' book be available in hard copy in book stores in Australia?

How can you say that olive oil is bad for the endothelium when the Mediterranean diet has shown that it's very beneficial?
Are you really going to argue with a guy who has sliced people open from neck to groin and removed veins plugged with fat?
@@lorrainehannon7631 The short answer is - yes

Is moringa also good on endothelial cells?
I am worried about oxalates, since I have a history of kidney stones. I've been avoiding spinach and almonds the 2 highest. So not sure if I can eat a lot of greens?
If your diet was whole foods plant base, no oils, no caffeine then it wouldn't be a problem
Can a rich diet in nitric oxide (green leafys) as described by Dr. Esselstyn help to prevent blood clots in Advanced Stage Cancer patients? I heard 1/4 of blood clots are caused by cancer. 🙏
Hi, I thought that eating bread even whole ( carbohydrates ) grain turns into sugar and that is supposed to be bad for you?
It is. High carbs in friuts an vegetables it great for us. I avoid wholegrain wheat as much as white refined wheat
I don't think there's any evidence that whole grains are not good for you. Just the opposite actually.
Essie ROCKS🥳
hola from Chile :)
What about people with dentures?💖
barbara Ball , prepare the salad / meal put the whole thing in a food processor and grind it up until you can easily consume it , lol I've done this many times with veges. Good luck
Great,how old are you?
People with kidney disease can they have all the greens they mention
Instead of smoothie make a caldo verde ie. green Portuguese soup with potatoes and plant based chorizo sausage.
Why are oil-free yogurt and other oil-free dairy products and stevia prohibited on your diet?
Because it contains animal protein and caseine.
Why do you say that natural oils from coconut,avocado,nuts,palm oil etc damage the endothelial lining?How do they damage this lining.?
Just do not get it.
❤️
I gotta say… looking at smoothie ingredients under a microscope most of the structures of the fruit and vegetables are intact… esp when y’all are talking about “breaking down cell walls”…?
I know that Decafe coffee is processed to take out the caffeine, that can't be good..😩
Swiss processed uses water, not chemicals.
Unfortunately I can’t chew I have TMJ any suggestions? May be cook the greens and then eat them?
would'nt it be fantastic if this medical community for plant health could come to Australia and spread the information to the negative medical world that continue to keep giving out prescriptions instead of having the tools to change what happens with their patients...
Jay Kordich 'The JuiceMan" lived to well into his late 90's I believe, juicing veggies, and eating fruits......he claimed that it was healthier than eating all the veggies cause of too much wasted fiber
I was told by Dr Mcdougall that it was a ploy to sell more vegetables. I actually feel better adding juicing into the diet.

Oil are in everything a person buys. It’s virtually impossible to find things without oil.
Not if your in the produce aisle
@@ricvanwinkle1665 fair enough
And cooking the whole foods starches. And having beans, lentils.
