Thank you for having Dr. Fuhrman on as a guest. He is a breath of fresh air in the plant based world. I'm so happy that he addressed the protein issue. As a senior, I am not overweight but got caught up in the extremely low fat (low protein) vegan culture. My muscle volume decreased to a point that my arms and legs started looking thin and stringy in spite of strength training. My mental health started suffering and my HDL was always extremely low. I started following a nutritarian lifestyle a couple of years ago including legumes, soybeans, natto, miso, tofu, kimchi, nuts, seeds, flax, avacado, herbs, spices and omega-3 supplements and the last few lbs. of belly fat literally melted off. My mental health, sleep quality and energy is SO much better. Brain fog is gone. My bloodwork is the best it's ever been and I'm gradually gaining back muscle in my arms and legs. I still eat a white potato occasionally but my primary focus is always on GBOMBS for the bulk of my diet. I generally get 40 to 50 grams of fiber a day and an enormous variety of bright colors in every meal. I'm full of vitality, energy and my skin has a rich golden color. My cholesterol levels are as low as they have ever been in my life. I'll never go back to a very low fat, low protein vegan protocol.
I was drawn to this way of life because of Dr. Greger. I stay because of Dr. Fuhrman. Thanks, AJ, for being the best host and for hosting the best of the best.
Dr. Fuhrman is changing my life and making it possible for me to be successful on a whole food plant-based diet. I was struggling before I read "Eat to Live"... Now these are the words I live by and I feel great now and have so much energy. Thank you Dr. Fuhrman!
Dr. Fuhrman is unparalleled. He is the reason I went WFPB . I was a vegetarian for many years. My health problems only changed when I improved my diet to WFPB. Every year, I feel better. Go GBOMBS!
I think about all the areas over my life that I've devoted to "practicing perfection", from learning musical instruments to professional skills and whatever other disciplines. I absolutely should devote the same level of commitment to my nutritional excellence and health! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!! 🌱JillyBean
Bcuz of you & Dr. Furhman… I lost almost 20 lbs early last year… felt healthier & maintained it easily… until last month when it started to creep back up… so I came back to refresh & realized I was getting away from the veggie focus too much. Need to keep listening to you everyday! Much love to you both!!! ❤️
What a great topic, sorry to say it is much needed by me, albeit I am doing all in my power to change by taking action on what I am learning. A diagnosis of Endometrial Cancer, the surgery and brachytherapy would be best avoided. However, I am now obsessed with doing all I can through diet, exercise and the elimination of toxins and using filtered water to stay hydrated is the way forward. Dr. Fuhrman is so logical and to the point, such a wonderful interview, thank you Chef AJ.
Great inspiration with WHY body fat is toxic. I can never have too many reminders for why I pursue nutrient density. Thank you for this interview! Very timely as we head into the Garbage Food Season.😃
What he said about the psycho social aspect is absolutely spot on. I have to find things other than food thoughts of food recipes etc to derive joy from It is like...eat what works and go do some fun stuff
I switched to his plan first of October and indeed lost about 2 lbs a week. The only time I don't loose 2lbs is if I eat out more than once a week and something is really salty and oily, even Thanksgiving week I lost weight - not the full 2lbs but I did loose. AND I eat nuts and seeds which seem to be an omitted food on every other plan. At first you experience the toxic hunger he talks about but after your body is nourished and you get over the addiction of the old food it's not hard to live on his plan.
2013 study identified critical threshold values according to age, with consequent significant reduction in life expectancy if exceeded. These are: WHtR greater than 0.5 for people under 40 years of age, 0.5 to 0.6 for people aged 40-50, and greater than 0.6 for people over 50 years of age.
This was absolutely fantastic!! Thank you to both of you, so many pearls of wisdom ❤ Love what Dr Fuhrman said about learning to be happy with yourself from a deeper perspective than trying to make others happy with you and also being a leader when it comes to proper health care. Happy holidays Chef AJ, love all that you do 🥰
Thank you so very much for having Dr. Furman on. I so much appreciate this information explained over and over. There are a lot of details in eating for the best health and everyone has different questions about health issues, so it helps to have different docs cover the facts.
Dr. Fuhrman is correct about fear leading to cancer development. Anita Moorjani, the author of Dying To Be Me, related that she learned during her near death experience that her fear throughout her life lead her to develop cancer. One needs to eat correctly, exercise, sleep well, etc, out of love for oneself rather than fear of developing illnesses.
It would be nice to hear about gallstones and gallbladder issues. I still have my gallbladder. You can’t eat nuts, coconut milk and seeds. Would gallstones dissolve with this diet?
I am bad about commenting before videos are over but I can’t contain myself. I have already shared on FB. What a great one. One I will repeat over and over. Thank you for this one! BTW, Chef AJ, your hair looks especially beautiful today. 💜
This is a super informative and very inspiring video 🙏🍀💚 follow the principles of nutritional excellence and become a healthy centenarian including the G- bombs as the basic 💚🐸
I would like to know what your views are on menopausal women and hormone replacement therapy. Can heart disease, osteoporosis and dementia still be prevented with a WFPB diet?
I am on a WFPB diet and I made the decision this year to also go on hrt. I was really affected by menopause symptoms - not just hot flushes, there are approx 36 meno symptoms. A great resource for me was The Dr Louise Newson Podcast. She is a UK dr that is advocating for women during menopause and dispelling the misinformation around hrt. She has excellent science based info. She is also vegetarian and does yoga daily and still talks about how important nutrition and lifestyle is. Dr Louise Newson also has some videos on YT. Approx 20% of women will go through menopause without any symptoms. But 80% of women will have symptoms ranging from mild to debilitating.
I am 61, paraplegic since 18. 35 lbs over weight. I. Have developed RA in right wrist,and shoulder. I also have severe carpotunnel in my Ishtar wrist. Where do I start? I am ok in eating the right foods and drinking a lot of water. I need help please..
I found that cutting my excess oil had the biggest impact on my weight. I had a LOT to lose after chemo and radiation. The steroids made me quite fluffy. I gave up animal products, but the weight stayed until I finally understood the olive oil, etc. wasn’t necessary for good health. It was a game changer for me. I still love olives, and I try to eat them in my salad or rice bowl instead of by the forkful out of the jar. I also found fasting and time restricted eating helpful in my goal of never having cancer again. Hope it helps! Oh and cut the processed foods. If the ingredient list is long and full of chemical names, I try to avoid that food even if it’s meat free.
@@jgrysiak6566 but the question is how sick is the sickest of our life? I have a 92 year old friend who has basically fractured every vertebrae and some ribs. She’s in terrible pain. The osteoporosis is taking her down slowly. I am also watching my husband get sucker and sicker in his forties. If he cannot make changes, I cannot imagine what care I will need to provide for him in the last ten years. With medication and western medicine both of these people I love will spend a long time suffering terribly. It’s not a guarantee, but at least, with small changes and choices, I can live healthier longer. Can’t live forever, but I would prefer to die peacefully and as pain/suffering free as possible.
I love Dr Fuhrman but I'm confused. A little over a month ago, in a live chat, Chef AJ said Dr Fuhrman's Nutrient Density was "A CROCK". Now she's okay with it?
I love his candor, his compassion and that he doesn't sugar coat his message. His interviews are always too short. I could listen to him for hours.

Always so enjoy listening to Dr Fuhrman. He looks incredible!! Thank you for having him on!!❤
Such a meaningful interview.
Thank you Dr. Fuhrman as always for your grounded, balanced, educated perspective on nutritional information. 🙏🏽
This was really good. He's a very clever and knowledgeable Dr.

He is BRILLIANT!
Truly I enjoyed this interview, learned something new, and relearned valuable jewels of healthy living wisdom👏🏻
Thank you so much for your passion
Happy 2022!
Happy New Year!
I did love the summit😅😍

Thanks AJ and Dr. F. Make 'bodybuilding' 20% of your overall fitness plan, not 80%. Then it is still a great idea.
Ur the best
Is brown organic rice from India (not grown on fields that once grew cotton) full of arsenic?
Thanks!

Awwee. I missed it live. I love that teal color. My favorite. Excited to see this interview.
Is pop corn minus the butter and salt,in other words is plain pop corn considered a health food?
Dr. Fuhrman talked a little about what him and his family had for thanksgiving is it possible to get those recipes
I'm sorry, but I don't have the recipes--perhaps check on his website
Thank You Chef AJ

A good place to start is to find a program that resonates with you, get the book with the plan and then start implementing it.
I found that cutting my excess oil had the biggest impact on my weight. I had a LOT to lose after chemo and radiation. The steroids made me quite fluffy. I gave up animal products, but the weight stayed until I finally understood the olive oil, etc. wasn’t necessary for good health. It was a game changer for me.

What it boils down to is How long do we really want to live?
The bigger factor is the quality of life as one ages
@@CHEFAJ , that's funny how he said the last 10 yrs before your death , u are the sickest except in your 90' s to 100

@@scullyitsme9844 , How come women are usually sicker than men but men die younger?
@@scullyitsme9844 , ya dying in my sleep would be the ideal way !
So has Dr. Furman gotten colds or sicknesses in last 20 years?
He got covid and was a little under the weather for 2 days I think.
In March it will be 2 years since I have had so much as the sniffles! I attribute it to plant based.
Whole food plant exclusive 3 years. No more seasonal allergies or colds.
@@vikkibendle1749 and I think he was kind of guessing on this one, I don't think he got tested
