What a wonderful lecture by a doctor who talks with so much common sense He even includes his cats as an ADDED bonus to relieve stress which is so important to our health. LOVED & SUBSCRIBED
When my son developed multiple allergies at a very young age, I went down the rabbit hole of nutrition. I never went to school for it, but instead learned a had a thing for studying biology and understanding how the body functions. I’m a bit nerdy that way. It’s been an interesting journey and along that journey, I learned about how industrial food production took place, how marketing affects the public and sadly the medical advice sometimes regarding food, what is in our food, and how to prepare food in the most nutritionally advantageous ways. It’s ended up culminating in growing a large proportion of our food, and some of the traditional ways to prepare/preserve it for maximum nutrition. This has led to a pretty healthy family. Not perfect by any means, but I’d wager far healthier than average.I truly wish that more people understood how critical diet is to health! I think our communities would be far healthier and able to ward off disease and metabolic disorders.
As a single man who lives by myself it is challenging to find healthy food for a 1 person dinner. Everything that's frozen or canned is loaded with sugar and processed lacking nutrients!
@@loveislove4879 Ditto, I'm a healthy 77, bachelor, I guess I gave up on nutritious, what I've eaten all my life however hasn't killed me yet so I just keep on eating what works for me, meat, potatoes and beans today and leftovers tomorrow.

Thank you doc..Great video!.. My Hdl: 85, triglycerides :45, BP: 100/60, Ha1c:5,7, Glucose: 95, waist: 90 cm..And no medications for 12 + years..I am 61 and can ride ( bike) 90 km in 2,5 hours (@ironman race, 35 km/h average) Thanks to ketogenic/ LCHF along with intermittent fasting..
In respect to this Video it is worth saving because it has vital information, in which Dr. Moran includes body index, what is normal blood pressure and a detail PowerPoint . I really appreciate this information . May you have a pleasant evening.
I wonder if not being on medications is one of the key signs of health because, by definition, if you need medication you must not be healthy, or a recognition of the fact that medications themselves are detriments to good health.
@@glidercoach dash diet is good for high blood pressure. Check out York Cardiology a cardiologist out of England. Lifestyle changes can help you immensely no matter what age.

Could you do a video on the topic of COVID Infection being the fault of unvaccinated? While this is likely true for those with comorbidities, I believe governing agencies are using this narrative incorrectly, as there is a known percentage of the population that are metabolically healthy. We should not be pressured into taking these vaccines. We should be able to have our physician sign-off that we have successfully passed this 6 category evaluation and do not require a vaccine because we too are helping establish herd immunity. I believe this is actually the highest state of protection our society has against this virus as well as the most common causes of death.
When it comes to any medical decisions with my body, I shouldn't need a note for my doctor. A no thank you should suffice under every Charter rights and freedoms or Constitution
I just discovered your channel. Your presentation is so refreshingly calm and easy to listen to in this shrill world we are in today. I knew it would be great when I saw the kitties.
Thanks Dr. Moran ! And I found out I got those 6 factors with normal level number considered to be healthy . Thanks God I fall in this category you just mentioned . I just retired 2 weeks ago from worked at Cedars Sinai medical center . I was working 23 yrs. as a clinical partner and never get sick . WholeFoods and Trader Joe’s are our food stores . My family and I never have so far any prescription medications ,instead we have our organic vegan multivitamins of according to age as maintenance . We’re taking also some important minerals like magnesium and zinc . We’re taking vitamin D 5,000 mg during winter and 2,000 mg. during summer because we get our natural source of vitamin D from sunshine . Since pandemic started ,we’ve been taking 1500 mg. an organic vitamin C. My husband is 56 yrs. old and I’m 59 1/2 years old , it’s been a part of my job to see to it everybody is healthy .
Nonsense. In fact, I was going to comment that the know-it-all doctor should make sure that his cats do not appear in the background picture; they're a royal distraction during his presentation. (Until recently, I had 2 cats and 2 dogs, the latter are by far man's best friend.)
Thanks, Dr. Moran. I raised my HDL level from 36 to 54 by adding an avocado a day, as well as switching my breakfast from whole grain wheat or oatmeal to a mixture of chopped walnuts, pecans, almonds, coconut meat, blueberries or dried cranberries, a half an egg, and a semi-ripe banana with green tea. Of course, exercise is an important ingredient.
I am floored that only 12% of people were considered metabolically healthy. Before you brought up that slide, after looking at all 6 metrics, I was thinking to myself that the bar was set "low"... I am not bragging, nor do I feel that I am even close to the pinnacle of health, but wow, these metrics are easy to hit (speaking as someone in their 40s) if you take care of your diet and exercise (assuming there is not some underlying disease). I guess I am just floored at how unhealthy the population is in general.
The American dietary advice of the last 60 years has been exactly backwards, or perhaps up-side-down if you consider the Food Pyramid. Remove the oils from the top of the pyramid, then rotate the rest 180 degrees. That is what the pyramid should be. You can thank Keys and Kellogg for the state of current health, or lack thereof. Sufficient vitamin D is key to surviving the current virus. High fructose corn syrup negatively affects vitamin D. Vitamin C may also be important; insulin blocks vitamin C. Of course, High Fructose corn syrup increases insulin.
Thankyou for the health info I love your kittys. I have a kitty her name is katy she is my only friend I have, when she passes it will be a hurtful day. I have lost other pets along my life and it never gets easy to loose a friend. Thankyou Dr. Moran be well.
51. 6 for 6. Last physical my Dr said I was bad for business. LOL. I don't work out, stay active. Eat 1 meal a day for decades. Nearly same weight since 18 at 172. The difference between me and the rest of my family is I joined the military so needed to matakn a certain fitness level. Everyone from father grand parents, uncles, aunt, cousins siblings, etc... All overweight, diabetes, cancers, riddled with health issues. I am fighting the genetic links. The only common factor is everyone of them are overweight and became heavy early on which leads to many issues.
Yes I’m countering the norm for women in my family for over 50 I’m careful what I put in my mouth and not saying I’m old it’s just what happens…best of success on your journey
Dr. Moran thanks for this. I noticed LDL was not included on the list to look at when assesing the health of a person. Does it mean to say that LDL is not a good indication to predict heart health?
I love the cats ❤ And also I just discovered you through Joe Rogans UA-cam page and I absolutely love your knowledge and advice! You have no idea what a great service you are providing by educating
Dr. Moran, Thank You, for providing the 6 criteria to use, when assessing our health! Just as in "Real Estate," it all comes down to "Location," with relation to, where a person should be, with respect to, the 6 Healthly Criteria Measures. Now, People have the "Objective Standards," to strive towards, when living, a Healthy Lifestyle. Be and Live Well!
Thank you for posting these videos. This particular one caught my interest and confirm my good health. I have been consistent with exercise (my lifestyle)since my late 30ies and after 35 years of a regular regime of various exercise I can hook off the 6 criteria for good health. After moving to US in 2008 I found myself in a "dangerous" place, too much processed food etc. In Norway I could visit a restaurant twice a year, in US per week - at least. As you say : food as medicine and the other factors- imperative. Again, thank you. Love your cats.
Thank you for the informative video. One point which occurred to me was that absolute waist measurement could be supplemented by two other criteria: waist/hip ratio, to be healthy less than 0.9 for men and 0.85 for women; and a rough thumb rule that waist circumference should be less than half the height. I have read and heard on videos these criteria, they seem to be worthy of attention.
Different studies have use different criteria. BMI is often used instead. What would be ideal is a measure of fat mass and muscle mass and their ratio to total mass.
Not so sure about that... I have a small waist relative to my hip size. I'm a black male and have always been this way, even when I was a lanky teenager. In my 20s I started working out with weights and my legs and buttocks have become quite muscular while my waist has remained proportionately much smaller. It makes buying pants that fit so much harder! I usually have to buy pants 2 or 3 sizes bigger than my waist just so they fit my legs and butt. I have to buy cheaper pants so I can afford to have them tailored at the waist to fit! I don't even wear jeans anymore...
@@iseektruth64 but that's good. The ratio of waist to hips in your case would be even better, more safe. Waist/hip 0.9 means wsist should be at least 10% slimmer than hips. So if hips are 40 waist should be no more than 36. Waist/hip ratio of this is 0.9. If hips become bigger, 44, and waist remains 36 then waist/hip ratio becomes 0.81 which is less than 0.9, hence better.
Is it possible to discontinue blood pressure meds? For instance if you lose weight, is it reasonable to decrease BP meds and see if BP is still OK, and possibly even stop BP meds, under DR’s care of course. I love your videos, and especially your cats! Video production quality has improved a lot since you started your channel. Your videos are a great service to humanity!
It is absolutely possible to get off blood pressure medications. Improving one's diet, losing weight and exercise will allow this. Monitoring your blood pressure at home is important as it allows patients and their healthcare providers to adjust blood pressure medications as needed. Thank you for your kind words about my channel. I am trying to improve the quality of the videos, it is a work in progress.
Oh gosh,! Dr Moran must have a cattery!! Just love to watch the beautiful creatures !! Thank you for the great video, I have learned a lot from your videos!! 🤗
"Sorry kitties, Dr. Moran says I have to get off my allergy medication to be healthy. That means you gotta go!" It seems the qualification that you must be on no medication to be considered healthy is a bit broad. Not all medications are the same. An allergy prescription seems quite a bit different than blood pressure medication or an anti-depressant.
And it is. You are correct. This is just the way the study was done although I suspect that a number of as needed medications such as an occasional antihistamine was probably not counted.
I subscribed! I wish you were my Doc! You have a great presentation, are very informative and presented in a way, a dense person like myself can even understand. Thanks sir!
I don't think your blood pressure is high. The healthy level of blood pressure has been lowered over the last couple of decades and drug companies might be driving this change.
Some people have no choice but to take medication, I have epilepsy, I have no choice or I will have seizures around the clock and wouldn't be able to work, I wish all the time that I didn't have seizures and didn't have to take medication.
@@AndyDufresne11 Going vegan is not healthy. Been there. Neither is going vegetarian, as I was for years. Ended up with health issues. I started eating lean chicken (locally farm raised) and noticed a big difference. Animal products are extremely good for you if you choose dairy from grass fed cows, or purchasing your meat from local farmers where they were fed a natural diet and humanely treated.
@@GenXer333 you are wrong dude. You can maybe get a bit protein deficient at first but you can manage your protein intake through proper plants that provide more of it. Other than that shifting from animal based diet is easy and healthy. I had many blockages earlier but when i started vegetarian diet and just milk from a farm bred cow my life changed drastically. I feel better, more energetic, i am free of all problems that i had earlier. You can think whatever you want but it is my life experience.
@@AndyDufresne11 I'm glad it's working for you. Everyone's body reacts differently, and has different needs, so I was sharing my personal experience, and others who were vegan at one time as well. But again, if you feel great on it, then you must be giving your body exactly what it needed. 👍🏼
I have several vegan relatives and friends and try are extremely healthy. Sometimes the way you prepare your foods and how you eat them may also make a difference. And yes everyone's body is different.
Though it was not this way at the beginning of the pandemic, I feel we now are in a syndemic where the co-morbidities themselves are the driving factor and the virus is being the lessor opportunistic factor in the situation.
Thanks for the appropriate word, syndemic - the aggregation of two or more concurrent or sequential epidemics or disease clusters in a population with biological interactions, which exacerbate the prognosis and burden of disease. I fully agree. Another doctor said that you could die "of" Covid or "with" Covid - major difference.
It is not. There is a large range in what a normal resting heart rate is which is between 48-92 bpm in one large older study. While it is true that people in good physical shape tend to have heart rates in the high 40s and 50s there are many people who are not athletic with heart rates in this range also. In general, as we age our heart rates do tend to go slower.
Or people who have it, but labs keep saying levels are only a little low or a little high, but "normal range". I have nodules and a goiter (they were saying Hashimoto's), but endocrinologist refuses to help. I have nearly all symptoms of hypothyroidism (runs in my family with the females big time!), but because of the labs saying I'm still in normal range (barely), these awful symptoms continue.
you can if you are willing to completely turn your life around. Watch “satvic movement thyroid” video, it must have english subtitles. If you are able to follow that lifestyle, along with Pranayama everyday (21 times Ujjayi Pranayama which is most important, 10 minutes of Kapalbhati, 10 minutes of Anulom vilom. search all these on youtube. that will be the beginning of your efforts to cure yourself.) initially you will find it difficult to perform Ujjayi Pranayama, but you have to keep at it. your throat muscles will take time to grow strong enough to not immediately cough while doing it. but if you keep at it for 4-5 days you will be easily doing it 11 times by the end of the first week. then slowly you take it to 21 times. Ujjayi pranayama alone heals 70% of your problem. that with the other two pranayamas, and the satvic movement diet will 100% cure you. if you dont get lazy that is. if you dont miss the pranayama a single day. if you make healing yourself yournumber one priority, you will. thanks.
Whenever I hear checklists like this, I think about people like my grandfather. He was obese, had high blood pressure, fatty liver, smoked. He might have had diabetes and probably had high cholesterol, but it was so hard to get him to a doctor, we never knew. But you never would have known he had issues until the last year or so of his life, when he suddenly had a heart attack and died. I have to wonder, if he had weighed less, stopped smoking, gotten his pressure down, etc., would he have lived longer? He was a tough old bird, because as it was, he died at age 80. Maybe he would have made it to 100.
My granny ate simple and kept slim and lived over ninety but some people ate very well but had a shorter life span. I have heart blockage, high bp, digestion problem, circulation problem, rhinitis, don't sleep well, poor eyesight, was anemic had bad migraine when I was in my teen, bad skin allergies etc. Skinny n do not have good appetites. Thought I would die soon due to serious asthmatic condition. With proper diet, the condition improved and still managing. Skinny but feeling better. Used to be on many types of medications after many operations but with proper diet, emotion management,, through readings on how to improve health, things improved though a slow process, still have asthma on reduced degree high BP, heart blockage sleep problem etc and still on some prescribed medication for some of the conditions. Prayers helps too especially for asthma, narrowed esophagus and digestion. Avoid watching or listening to videos which will aggravate your condition including Christian Videos, not all of them are good though they may think that they are good and they hear from God. Some can be detrimental to your health, condition and spirit. There are some very good ones too. Keep safe everyone. God bless.
I agree with you about the Christian videos. If they're Christ-centered, they're great! But, if they're future-focused scary, they get our eyes off of Jesus. Well, keep it up!! God bless you!!
Thank you again Dr Moran. Are you Canadian originally ? Love the cats - Jag and the other one. I love that you don't make the videos too lengthy too. Good teaching method. Take care.
The lowering of BP from 140 to 120 as being ideal is either going to get you on being above 120 or you will need to be on a medication to get you to 120 or below. You can win with that one.
I'm 51 years old. 5'10" and 180 lbs with a 34" waist. I do not take medication. My blood pressure is normal, my triglycerides are ideal, my HDL is normal, and my A1C is 5.2. Now... lets add that when covid started, I was working in a jail where it went rampant. Inmates had it, deputies had it, nurses had it one deputy died. My partners got it and one had mild symptoms while the other only lost his sense of smell. We shared an office, desk, computer, etc... I did not get it. I've tested negative for it and the antibody test showed I never had it. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE if what they tell us is true??
Could you do a video on how countries that have limited access to vaccines are doing? I would like to have someone research this topic but i have no time myself to be thorough
Something interesting I had been reading about was that long-term exposure to traffic noise may be associated with greater waist circumference due to secretion of cortisol, and preschoolers who play/live on noisy streets have higher blood pressures at baseline. I am sorry I can’t remember the name of these studies or link to them. But, I found from these studies that changing living environment may mildly to moderately impact health and should be considered as well as individual lifestyle changes.
I used to be a member of Kaiser Permanente. They kept asking me about what kinds of drugs I was on. My answer was "none, I don't do drugs". Their attitude was: "We will fix that" .

Thankyou for the health info I love your kittys. I have a kitty her name is katy she is my only friend I have, when she passes it will be a hurtful day. I have lost other pets along my life and it never gets easy to loose a friend. Thankyou Dr. Moran be well.
I'm 2 for 6 so I think I better get my will in order.
I really enjoy your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in helping us stay healthy and not medicated.
Thank you very much Sandy!
Thank You for your information. And Jag is a beautiful cat.
Thank you too!
51. 6 for 6. Last physical my Dr said I was bad for business. LOL. I don't work out, stay active. Eat 1 meal a day for decades. Nearly same weight since 18 at 172. The difference between me and the rest of my family is I joined the military so needed to matakn a certain fitness level. Everyone from father grand parents, uncles, aunt, cousins siblings, etc... All overweight, diabetes, cancers, riddled with health issues. I am fighting the genetic links. The only common factor is everyone of them are overweight and became heavy early on which leads to many issues.
Yes I’m countering the norm for women in my family for over 50 I’m careful what I put in my mouth and not saying I’m old it’s just what happens…best of success on your journey
I'm 80 years old and have never takien any medications. I also suggest having no fear of ANYTHING and being HAPPY.
Thankyou doctor, you bear the title perfectly.
You make a lot of sense Doctor. This is great, thanks for sharing (oh and we like cats too).
Dr. Moran thanks for this. I noticed LDL was not included on the list to look at when assesing the health of a person. Does it mean to say that LDL is not a good indication to predict heart health?
LDL is definitely helpful. They chose not to use this. And used other lipid markers instead.
@@MedicinewithDrMoran my triglyceride is within normal but LDL is above normal . Should I be worried? Ty
Love the content! Found the channel today
Thank you Marcel!
This video is inspiring! I will get back on the health track!!!!!
Thank You So Much!
Love The Cats😊😊😊😊😊😊
I'm glad to hear it! 😀
I love the cats ❤ And also I just discovered you through Joe Rogans UA-cam page and I absolutely love your knowledge and advice! You have no idea what a great service you are providing by educating
Awesome! Thank you!
A doctor who likes cats usually has more credibility with me, true here with Dr. Moran.
Nonsense; his cats in the show are a huge distraction!!!
Nonsense, his cats in the show are a huge distraction.
This is a great video. Thanks alot.
I'm glad it was helpful!
I watched this 3 times already.
But I can't seem to get it to my head because of the cat.
Lol...
Same here! Close your eyes and listen one more time for the information. Then look at it one more time just to watch the cat. Lol
Don't watch... Just listen. 😁
I had to put away the screen, and just listen... 😊
Thank you Dr. Moran for another invaluable video . I also love your beautiful cats.
I love cats, Doc, and they love me.
Happy healthy day and thank you for your enlightenment 🙏
This is my favourite medical video! The advises are simple yet practical for non-medical based persons. Keep going Doc! You are doing great!!👍
Thank you very much!!!
I think having fur babies makes most people healthy, certainly adds happiness in my life! ♥️♥️ I subbed, I like your presentation, thank you!
I love spending time with my cats too. Thank you for subscribing!
Well my Boston terrier is as close as I want to be to a cat
I'm replacing the news with your videos👍👍👍
Thanks for commenting Sergio.
Dr. Moran,
Thank You, for providing the 6 criteria to use, when assessing our health!
Just as in "Real Estate," it all comes down to "Location," with relation to, where a person should be, with respect to, the 6 Healthly Criteria Measures.
Now, People have the "Objective Standards," to strive towards, when living, a Healthy Lifestyle.
Be and Live Well!
Thank you for posting these videos. This particular one caught my interest and confirm my good health. I have been consistent with exercise (my lifestyle)since my late 30ies and after 35 years of a regular regime of various exercise I can hook off the 6 criteria for good health. After moving to US in 2008 I found myself in a "dangerous" place, too much processed food etc. In Norway I could visit a restaurant twice a year, in US per week - at least. As you say : food as medicine and the other factors- imperative. Again, thank you. Love your cats.
Thank you for your kind words, Reidar.
Thank you Dr Moran, you inspired me to exercise, I am about to go for a long walk on the beach 💕 😄
That sounds beautiful. Have fun!
Thank you for the informative video. One point which occurred to me was that absolute waist measurement could be supplemented by two other criteria: waist/hip ratio, to be healthy less than 0.9 for men and 0.85 for women; and a rough thumb rule that waist circumference should be less than half the height. I have read and heard on videos these criteria, they seem to be worthy of attention.
Different studies have use different criteria. BMI is often used instead. What would be ideal is a measure of fat mass and muscle mass and their ratio to total mass.
@@MedicinewithDrMoran thanks.
Not so sure about that... I have a small waist relative to my hip size. I'm a black male and have always been this way, even when I was a lanky teenager. In my 20s I started working out with weights and my legs and buttocks have become quite muscular while my waist has remained proportionately much smaller. It makes buying pants that fit so much harder! I usually have to buy pants 2 or 3 sizes bigger than my waist just so they fit my legs and butt. I have to buy cheaper pants so I can afford to have them tailored at the waist to fit! I don't even wear jeans anymore...
@@iseektruth64 but that's good. The ratio of waist to hips in your case would be even better, more safe. Waist/hip 0.9 means wsist should be at least 10% slimmer than hips. So if hips are 40 waist should be no more than 36. Waist/hip ratio of this is 0.9. If hips become bigger, 44, and waist remains 36 then waist/hip ratio becomes 0.81 which is less than 0.9, hence better.
@@deepakhiranandani6488 that's great news then!!
Is it possible to discontinue blood pressure meds? For instance if you lose weight, is it reasonable to decrease BP meds and see if BP is still OK, and possibly even stop BP meds, under DR’s care of course.
I love your videos, and especially your cats! Video production quality has improved a lot since you started your channel. Your videos are a great service to humanity!
It is absolutely possible to get off blood pressure medications. Improving one's diet, losing weight and exercise will allow this. Monitoring your blood pressure at home is important as it allows patients and their healthcare providers to adjust blood pressure medications as needed. Thank you for your kind words about my channel. I am trying to improve the quality of the videos, it is a work in progress.
Thank you for your comment. I do have a video on blood pressure monitoring at home for the doctors visit, if you are interested.
Oh gosh,! Dr Moran must have a cattery!! Just love to watch the beautiful creatures !! Thank you for the great video, I have learned a lot from your videos!! 🤗
Our pleasure Paula!
Guys, let's support Dr. Moran. Don't skip ads 🙂🙏🐱
Dear Dr. Moran, thank you very much for this Video again. Very helpful Tips. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Most welcome!
Yes, 69 years old from Singapore and my weekly fitness test ( thrice weekly ) is to climb 30 storey apartment in around 6 1/2 minutes.
"Sorry kitties, Dr. Moran says I have to get off my allergy medication to be healthy. That means you gotta go!"
It seems the qualification that you must be on no medication to be considered healthy is a bit broad. Not all medications are the same. An allergy prescription seems quite a bit different than blood pressure medication or an anti-depressant.
And it is. You are correct. This is just the way the study was done although I suspect that a number of as needed medications such as an occasional antihistamine was probably not counted.
I subscribed! I wish you were my Doc! You have a great presentation, are very informative and presented in a way, a dense person like myself can even understand. Thanks sir!
Wow, thank you! and Thanks for subcribing
Good on 4 of them. Failed two of them. I take medication (cholesterol) and my blood pressure is usually about 130/90 which is a little bit high.
I don't think your blood pressure is high. The healthy level of blood pressure has been lowered over the last couple of decades and drug companies might be driving this change.
I failed two as well... My waist is a bit too larger and I take asthma and allergy meds.
Excellent information.
I disagree on one point; waist circumference should be
extremely informative, succinct, and valuable
a diamond in the internet rough
Some people have no choice but to take medication, I have epilepsy, I have no choice or I will have seizures around the clock and wouldn't be able to work, I wish all the time that I didn't have seizures and didn't have to take medication.
Try vegan food for 3 months. No cooking. Eat them raw. Like salads. Organic better.
@@AndyDufresne11 Going vegan is not healthy. Been there. Neither is going vegetarian, as I was for years. Ended up with health issues. I started eating lean chicken (locally farm raised) and noticed a big difference. Animal products are extremely good for you if you choose dairy from grass fed cows, or purchasing your meat from local farmers where they were fed a natural diet and humanely treated.
@@GenXer333 you are wrong dude. You can maybe get a bit protein deficient at first but you can manage your protein intake through proper plants that provide more of it. Other than that shifting from animal based diet is easy and healthy. I had many blockages earlier but when i started vegetarian diet and just milk from a farm bred cow my life changed drastically. I feel better, more energetic, i am free of all problems that i had earlier. You can think whatever you want but it is my life experience.
@@AndyDufresne11 I'm glad it's working for you. Everyone's body reacts differently, and has different needs, so I was sharing my personal experience, and others who were vegan at one time as well. But again, if you feel great on it, then you must be giving your body exactly what it needed. 👍🏼
I have several vegan relatives and friends and try are extremely healthy. Sometimes the way you prepare your foods and how you eat them may also make a difference. And yes everyone's body is different.
Very useful information....they should have this information available to young people at school
Yes I agree
Ok I'm subbing because you have multiple cats.
Thank you!
what does subbing mean?

Though it was not this way at the beginning of the pandemic, I feel we now are in a syndemic where the co-morbidities themselves are the driving factor and the virus is being the lessor opportunistic factor in the situation.
Thanks for the appropriate word, syndemic - the aggregation of two or more concurrent or sequential epidemics or disease clusters in a population with biological interactions, which exacerbate the prognosis and burden of disease. I fully agree. Another doctor said that you could die "of" Covid or "with" Covid - major difference.
Dr. i diagnose you as a "Cat Rancher" ...live long and well.
Thank you for your valuable information and I always enjoy your loving kitties 💕
The cats are a nice touch!
Thanks for the videos Dr. & by the way, I Love your floofy cats! 😻
Glad you like them! I cannot keep them out of my videos we have too many!
I'm wondering if resting heart rate is another differentiator between healthy and unhealthy?
It is not. There is a large range in what a normal resting heart rate is which is between 48-92 bpm in one large older study. While it is true that people in good physical shape tend to have heart rates in the high 40s and 50s there are many people who are not athletic with heart rates in this range also. In general, as we age our heart rates do tend to go slower.
Doctor Moran, first than anything, I want to thank you for your videos and to tell you also, that your beautiful Cats are so beautiful and sweet:)!!
Thank you very much!
Your welcome! Thank so much for your feedback:)
Can you please do a video on hypothyroidism, including whether it is possible to get off thyroid meds? Thank you!
Or people who have it, but labs keep saying levels are only a little low or a little high, but "normal range". I have nodules and a goiter (they were saying Hashimoto's), but endocrinologist refuses to help. I have nearly all symptoms of hypothyroidism (runs in my family with the females big time!), but because of the labs saying I'm still in normal range (barely), these awful symptoms continue.
you can if you are willing to completely turn your life around. Watch “satvic movement thyroid” video, it must have english subtitles. If you are able to follow that lifestyle, along with Pranayama everyday (21 times Ujjayi Pranayama which is most important, 10 minutes of Kapalbhati, 10 minutes of Anulom vilom. search all these on youtube. that will be the beginning of your efforts to cure yourself.) initially you will find it difficult to perform Ujjayi Pranayama, but you have to keep at it. your throat muscles will take time to grow strong enough to not immediately cough while doing it. but if you keep at it for 4-5 days you will be easily doing it 11 times by the end of the first week. then slowly you take it to 21 times. Ujjayi pranayama alone heals 70% of your problem. that with the other two pranayamas, and the satvic movement diet will 100% cure you. if you dont get lazy that is. if you dont miss the pranayama a single day. if you make healing yourself yournumber one priority, you will. thanks.
As always excellent video! Thank you! Greetings from Florida!
Thank you very much Kevin. I wish I was in Florida right now!
Jag likes the Leaves on the Art!
Whenever I hear checklists like this, I think about people like my grandfather. He was obese, had high blood pressure, fatty liver, smoked. He might have had diabetes and probably had high cholesterol, but it was so hard to get him to a doctor, we never knew. But you never would have known he had issues until the last year or so of his life, when he suddenly had a heart attack and died. I have to wonder, if he had weighed less, stopped smoking, gotten his pressure down, etc., would he have lived longer? He was a tough old bird, because as it was, he died at age 80. Maybe he would have made it to 100.
Exercise and muscle building is key to mental health
My granny ate simple and kept slim and lived over ninety but some people ate very well but had a shorter life span. I have heart blockage, high bp, digestion problem, circulation problem, rhinitis, don't sleep well, poor eyesight, was anemic had bad migraine when I was in my teen, bad skin allergies etc. Skinny n do not have good appetites. Thought I would die soon due to serious asthmatic condition. With proper diet, the condition improved and still managing. Skinny but feeling better. Used to be on many types of medications after many operations but with proper diet, emotion management,, through readings on how to improve health, things improved though a slow process, still have asthma on reduced degree high BP, heart blockage sleep problem etc and still on some prescribed medication for some of the conditions. Prayers helps too especially for asthma, narrowed esophagus and digestion. Avoid watching or listening to videos which will aggravate your condition including Christian Videos, not all of them are good though they may think that they are good and they hear from God. Some can be detrimental to your health, condition and spirit. There are some very good ones too. Keep safe everyone. God bless.
I agree with you about the Christian videos. If they're Christ-centered, they're great! But, if they're future-focused scary, they get our eyes off of Jesus. Well, keep it up!! God bless you!!
Thank you again Dr Moran. Are you Canadian originally ? Love the cats - Jag and the other one. I love that you don't make the videos too lengthy too. Good teaching method. Take care.
Yay, I'm healthy, according to these!!
Love the kitties in the videos! Thanks for your information.
Thank you for your valuable information. By the way...your cats are beautiful. 😻😻
Your fur babies are gorgeous 😍
I appreciate your knowledge, fellow cat lover.
Thank you Michelle!
The lowering of BP from 140 to 120 as being ideal is either going to get you on being above 120 or you will need to be on a medication to get you to 120 or below. You can win with that one.
Thank you doctor for your calm demeanor, facts and especially your kitties 😻
Thank you too!
Hello Dr. Moran, does the blood pressure of (under 120/80) counting for all ages over 20 years?
Dr. Moran: You fat? You not healthy!
Fat cat: 'BLEH! Me healthy, gimme FOOD!'
I adore your cats 😺😺
Clear and simple criteria and message for every body thanks Dr Moran / to be healthy what should we do ? No medication !
I'm 51 years old. 5'10" and 180 lbs with a 34" waist. I do not take medication. My blood pressure is normal, my triglycerides are ideal, my HDL is normal, and my A1C is 5.2. Now... lets add that when covid started, I was working in a jail where it went rampant. Inmates had it, deputies had it, nurses had it one deputy died. My partners got it and one had mild symptoms while the other only lost his sense of smell. We shared an office, desk, computer, etc... I did not get it. I've tested negative for it and the antibody test showed I never had it. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE if what they tell us is true??
Very interesting videos, and a gentleman of taste in matter of cats, subbed.
Thank you very much!
Could you do a video on how countries that have limited access to vaccines are doing? I would like to have someone research this topic but i have no time myself to be thorough
Something interesting I had been reading about was that long-term exposure to traffic noise may be associated with greater waist circumference due to secretion of cortisol, and preschoolers who play/live on noisy streets have higher blood pressures at baseline. I am sorry I can’t remember the name of these studies or link to them. But, I found from these studies that changing living environment may mildly to moderately impact health and should be considered as well as individual lifestyle changes.
And breathing automobile exhaust causes breast cancer and they build so many apartments right next to freeways
Your cats look very healthy 💛♥️🤗♥️
Very informative. Thank you Doctor.
So nice of you.
I heard more from you about what is going on with people like me in one episode than my doctor has in the passed ten years.my doc sucks
Glad to be of help Ron.

I used to be a member of Kaiser Permanente. They kept asking me about what kinds of drugs I was on. My answer was "none, I don't do drugs". Their attitude was: "We will fix that" .
