Dr. Alan Goldhamer is the co-founder of TrueNorth Health Center, a state-of-the-art facility that provides medical and chiropractic services, psychotherapy and counseling, as well as massage and bodywork. He is also director of the Center's groundbreaking residential health education program.
Articulate, inspiring and energetic, Dr. Goldhamer is one of the most pioneering and dedicated visionaries in health today. An outspoken professional who doesn't shy away from a spirited debate, he is deeply committed to helping people stuck in self-destructive cycles reclaim their ability to change their lives.
Dr. Goldhamer has supervised the fasts of thousands of patients. Under his guidance, the Center has become one of the premier training facilities for doctors wishing to gain certification in the supervision of therapeutic fasting.
Dr. Goldhamer was the principal investigator in two landmark studies. The first: "Medically Supervised Water-Only Fasting in the Treatment of Hypertension" appeared in the June 2001 issue of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics. Its publication marked a turning point in the evolution of evidence supporting the benefits of water-only fasting. The second study: "Medically Supervised Water-Only Fasting in the Treatment of Borderline Hypertension," appeared in the October 2002 issue of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.
Currently, Dr. Goldhamer is directing a team that is developing a prospective study, incorporating random assignment and long-term follow-up on the cost and clinical outcomes in the treatment of diabetes and high blood pressure with fasting and a health-promoting diet.
After completing his chiropractic education at Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon, Dr. Goldhamer traveled to Australia, where he became licensed as an osteopathic physician. He is the author of The Health Promoting Cookbook and co-author of The Pleasure Trap: Mastering The Hidden Force That Undermines Health and Happiness.

If Dr. Goldhammer were really as selfish as he claims, and only interested in helping the patient in front of him, he wouldn't take time to do interviews like this that benefit the rest of us. Thank you Dr. Goldhammer, for the vital content and entertaining delivery.
Dr Goldhamer is obviously so smart and really tells people how it is... no sugar coating with Dr Goldhamer
No sugar coating! No pun intended!!
He stopped eating flesh at the same age as I did and we are now the same age and everything he states is spot on. I experience optimal health, although I did not go vegan for my health, I went vegan for the animals. I am now watching friends and family suffer from common preventable diseases as a result of the choices they make in their lifestyle. Yet vegans are considered extreme. Imagine having optimal health as a result of not condoning and paying for animal abuse. Win-win!
I guess this is a vegan echo chamber, but FYI older people (like me) can be perfectly healthy on low carb diets with moderate meat. A big advantage of low carb is that I can dowse my broccoli/Brussel sprouts/cauliflower with EVOO and Redmond pink salt. No-one is gonna convince me that such could be unhealthy.
I think Dr Goldhamer would like me...im pretty strick...I want that book....
Love this comment. Couldn’t agree more
Well there are a lot of folks that like meat.
@@shanekasper4587 profound reply. LOL!
Awesome interview! Dr. Goldhamer is great and a wonderful example of Good Health! Practices what he preaches! I was lucky enough to go to TrueNorth for 44 days.
i am wfpv vegan who practices intermittent fasting daily (12-16 hrs, sometime 18-22 hrs). i do eat minimal sos but dr goldfarb helps me stay aware of how it impacts my satiety and health, so im mindful not to let these cause issues. lost 60+ pounds, maintaining steady, feel great. animals are friends, not food. this world is absolutely designed to make us sick fat and miserable. so grateful i found out how to stay healthy via lifestyle
He’s so calm.
I dare not say this .... But learning about fasting ... Helped me heal from my anorexia . bc I looked forward to the health benefits of the refeeding stage knowing that I will rebound stronger than before. The self control and discipline for me was not to stay away from food but to want to eat again. Control is a huge thing for people with eating disorders... Often times that's truly what it is about .... This put my self control to a true test. Im healthier than ever . I praise God that fasting saved my life FROM anorexia . it gave me a deeper appreciation for food REAL food for which before i had no respect at all.
You’ve talked about this MD before. Thanks for sharing his beautiful message.
Dr Goldhamer is my favorite. A no-nonsense, upfront, powerful truth-speaker. It amazes me how so many other doctors are still in the dark about patient care, healing and success.
Good information. ❤️❤️❤️, Dr Goldhamer is an old African chief , he tells you from experience, what he knows will work without sugarcoating it. I love it 🥰🙏
Outstanding interview, appreciate it is extra long. Dr Goldhamer tells it as it is. Thanks and best to you Chef AJ 🌿🥒💚
This guy is good. No BS. Telling it like it is.
That's funny, that the only thing on the table that looked edible were the table decorations!
Dr Goldhammer looks great for 61
He’s 24
This way of eating really benefits our body and jr shows on the outside! I couldn’t believe he is 61! Heres’s to eating WFPB!
Thank you Thank you I love Dr. Goldhamer.
One of my faves! I read his book The Pleasure Trap and recommend it. He needs to continue educating the medical community as they know much less than me when it comes to nutrition.
No one makes me laugh as much as Dr. Goldhammer. He is hilarious ; . )
1:01:36 I love this answer. I’ve never heard this answer. Dr G is brilliant, please do more interviews with him
Absolutely!
I could listen to Dr Goldhammer forever! What Motivation he imparts! Thanks for making this video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
After considering the WFPB, SOS free diet for a few months...I read the Pleasure Trap and decided to go all in. Yest was my 3 month plantiversary, thank you AJ and Dr G!!!
Plantiversary! I love this word!!
@@tiffanyhackerspace8377 nnmk
WFPB?
SOS free?
Oh! Salt Oil Sugar
Amazing, ThankYou, for the wisdom.
I feel I just got handed the 🗝 to good health. It's just my choice to open the door. What priceless info that I am grateful to have learned. Wishing you both blessings.
Awesome interview!! So inspiring! ❤️
Dr Goldhamer is quite possibly the Dr. whos philosophy and ideas are going to save humankind from itself. We are so poorly educated in this country when it comes to diet and proper healthy ways of feeding ourselves. This area is broad and complicated as food is essential to life yet its misuse is also rooted in most of the diseases that cause premature death. To any suffering i would dig deep and think about what Dr Goldhamer is really saying. We are experiencing the results, side effects of an ineffective food industry that has for many decades provided millions of us products that were void of any truly nutritional content and so since a balance of nutrition is essential for optimal function of your body we are seeing a clear and cause and effect relationship with processed refined nutrient free products (not even food really) and how they have ravaged society. Take time to say to yourself that you are important enough to at least attempt to adopt a dietary rebirth of sorts. The ongoing research (results) supporting Dr. Goldhamers claims are nothing shy of miraculous. Open your minds let go of your current beliefs that continue to resist necessary change in your life go and become a miracle for yourself.
Well said!
❤️❤️❤️ thanks to both of you.
Dr Goldhamer and Dr Doug Lilse are brilliant! Thanks for providing such great content AJ 😌
Our pleasure!
i love salad with avocado, nuts, peppers, olives, black pepper, hot sauce, whole mustard.
I make bread on a regular basis and it took me awhile to figure out but it's no problem without oil. If I don't add too much water it doesn't stick to my hands. I only let it sit with the yeast for 1.5 hours and then knead it and it doesn't stick to my hands. It rises fine to my taste and I use parchment paper, reusing it for 3-5 times before it becomes too brittle and broken.
I still eat too much but not by a lot. I use 2 ingredients: yeast and flour, and afterwards add salt to the surface of the food. At this time, flour is $0.80 per pound but whole wheat pasta cheapest is $1.50 per pound. Since I eat each of those a lot I make sure I have at least some of the flour which is less expensive per calorie. I would assume that I can get the generic pasta at some point in the future for less than $1.50. I really want to keep eating wheat, though. It fits my routine perfect. I'm not hurting for money but when I see a 33% difference in price I cringe and take action.
Appreciate your content and hope everyone gets well 🙏❤
Thank you, AJ & Dr Goldhammer -Today is my birthday, July 6th 2020 & I am 58 years old -born in 1962-
I have been on & off a Vegan way of life - because , animal products ARE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE- but, I have been learning a lot & working up to making a full commitment to this healthier & less harmful way of life -So, I will keep you posted ! I’m excited to see what good health changes will take effect in this new year of life ahead , God willing! Much love to you Dear Big Vegan Sis , AJ - I love you ❤️
Happy Birthday
So funny…if your food is high quality it naturally tastes delicious. The way I have experienced this issue with respect to a lack of flavor in food is an issue related to how our food is grown, harvested and delivered to the customer. I left the supermarket long ago in LA for fruits and vegetables and get all those items at the farmers market. A tremendous difference! You’ll find the farmers who do the best work just by the flavor and shelf life of the food they produce and sell. An example of this is John Givens at the Mar Vista market in Los Angeles. Incredible food, flavorful and long lasting.
You must be rich if you can afford to shop at Farmers's Markets, where I live they are very expensive. I buy organic non-GMOs or grow my own. It is easy to make a little greenhouse from a transparent plastic tub turned upside down and a bag of potting mix with holes on one side for drainage, and the other side mostly cut out, some soil removed then planted with greens. Inexpensive set up too!
I love it he gives you the truth take it or leave it
Yes he does!
1/2 tsp of dulse..or Arame..or wakame...will give you the daily iodine requirement...dr Gregor did a video on it
My cat got really fat eating Meow Mix --for him, I had to eliminate cat food with grains & sugar , etc- and he lost the weight - yes, if we eat what is natural to our species as humans too in the most whole food natural state - we will lose weight & stabilize it.
It was easy to gove up oil and sugar. Salt was hard to give up. But I did it.
What a great interview thank you both xx
Dr Goldhammer is so right. 2 yrs ago a friend died, from type 2 complications even after I pleaded with him 5 yrs ago to change his life. He was 68.
Love love love it
So inspiring. Thanks for advocating for animals, too! :)
So informative. Thank you so much !
What about treating SIBO?
Plant based foods only is not at all recommended for those with SIBO.
I definitely want to incorporate fasting in my life regularly and eliminate all processed sugars and eliminate most processed foods but I plan to keep animal proteins in my diet but maybe much less, like 3-4 servings a week and the rest plant based.
I love this information and it’s coming into my life at perfect timing 🙏
I definitely have sugar and carb addictions and it’s way past time for me to face this. 💜
I keep potatoes and extra bananas around because I invariably need to fill up. My weight is stable and right for my height too. Finally.
Dr G is the strict witty sarcastic Dad while Dr lisle is the strict witty funny uncle
Funny! :)
salt???? oh no i just said goodbye to sugar. i will try going no SOS.
You have to admit he does look amazing 62 come on he looks 40 something like maybe 43 45 that’s almost 20 years!
Rate Dr Goldhamer and his work. Recently started to implement an SOS-free WFPB diet myself. Still include gluten (via barley, oats, durum wholewheat pasta, bulgar etc.). My blood pressure tends to be high-normal / prehypertensive. So hoping with increased aerobic exercise, sticking to the diet, ditching caffeine, using short-term water fasts (occasional 24hr fasts); that I can get my pressures below 110/70
Oh that’s what I wanted to tell you. My stepfather just died at 90. This guy never ate organic, ate white bread , loved loved sweets dessert every night after dinner, did not really exercise he worked hard through out his life but didn’t really have a consistent exercise regiment. Was not overweight and seemed to have plenty of energy! He died last month from Covid pretty much got it and within a week he was gone , 90!
The only thing difficult about this life/diet is accepting that we have allowed ourselves to become addicted to the processed foods, salt, sugar, oils, and meat and dairy foods hyped to us as a normal diet.
As Dr. Lisle states it's almost impossible not to become addicted to these foods! Check out his book The Pleasure Trap if you haven't already.
I could imagine the grin on Dr. Lisle's face as he beats him in basketball.
he did NOT eat the table decorations! That's too funny.
mc "gold" hammer bringing the TRUTH!
A person who truely cares for the welfare of animals would never go back to eating animal products because they are struggling to eat WFPB.
I forgot to mention: I just tried on my pants that I bought 4 years ago: suit pants: they still fit. I would have never been able to say that on a standard diet.
He said he has twenty meals a week there; I can't eat that many meals in a week; one meal a day is sometimes too much; some days a few fruits, or a vegetable stew, and some days nothing at all. Society says three meals a day, no wonder fast foods are so popular, people are eating all day, their digestive systems are overworked and they're obese ... I wonder why.
I don’t eat 20 meals per week either. I’m about 12-14. Some of those could be considered snacks compared to a meal.
This is the third time I'm watching this interview and I still chuckle when you call yourself " Glodhamer lite"....I wanna be "Goldhamer lite"....A T-shirt maybe? I would buy and wear it. LOL
yes..
1/2 tsp of dulse will give you the daily required 150 mcg.....cronometer doesnt report iodine...i read somewhere on the site why they dont but i cant rem the details...it was too hard for them..but you dont need to check...dr gregor has said over & over again 1/2 tsp..even a heaped 1/2 tsp of dulse or ground wakame or ground arame...will give you the required daily 150 mcg...like he said, doing that will take care of any deficiency....but he warns not t o go near kelp products...very VERY high on iodine which will lead to other problems
They make it seem like it’s easy. I like Dr Leder because he discusses more of a transition. People struggle and it’s not as helpful to say buck up, clean up your environment and deal with. How fat do you want to be? 🙄 some folks have been eating poorly their whole life. Being vegan is enough of a mind shift, now go SOS free. It’s a challenge. If there were steps on how to do it as opposed to just grit and bear it.... It’s not easy and the food tastes bland af without a sprinkle of salt or a sprinkle of sugar. But I’m trying
Vic I’m a 15 year vegan but I do use very little oil, some sugar like maple syrup and dates and Himalayan salt. I’m determined to cut it all in half and then keep cutting. Chef AJ gives you ways to season your food without SOS. My thinking is as I decrease my use of SOS my tastebuds will adjust. After water fasts (last was 7 days) food tastes AMAZING again. So maybe fasting ... also veggies at their peak of freshness is huge. All the best!
You don't have to transition over night. Clean up one meal a day. Start with whatever's easiest, that feels like a doable step that is evenso a bit of a stretch. Maybe breakfast. Then when you steady and established with clean breakfast, move on to morning snack, or lunch. Sub one item at a time if needed. Find your pace, be patient and kind with yourself. It took me 18months to clean up my diet. Radical change often leads to backsliding. But if you do want faster results, book into True North for a re-education of your tastebuds. Go well.
Your taste buds change after you get completely away from salt and sugar. So it helps to feel the food tasting better and less bland as you go along.
Have you done study on Hindus in India? High majority of Indians are vegetarian. How are their health scores compared to the non vegetarian people.
Yeah my brother was in the hospital for pancreatic tumors for a month and they brought him in ham gross and jello
Regarding gallstones - I took Ursodiol (ursodeoxycholic acid) for just over a year - 500mg a day - and my gallstones melted away. Kept them off on a WFPB diet.
What water does he recommend.
plant food : is it natural
How about carbs? How much carbs do you eat?
Super video! I applauded for $2.00 👏
Yay! Thank you!♥️
I wonder how much of a contribution to health this SOS free diet is without incorporating the initial prolonged fasting and the daily intermittent fasting he recommends? I suspect it’s actually the fasting protocols, regardless of diet, that are the primary beneficial part of this health regime. Let me guess, “that data is not available yet”?
Can l take organic honey
How do we incorporate Rice and wheat in this diet? Rice after cooking does it not become refined? similarly wheat has to be consumed in the form of roti or bread.
Wheat is not included in my program, but whole grain rice and other gluten free grains are included.
You look 20 yrs younger than ur age Dr.
AJ
I have not been able to get an oilfree/fatfree vit d tablet anywhere....when ive rung the manufacturers there has ALWAYS been oil or triglycerides in it....could you pls ask dr goldhamer if there are any fats at all in the lichen vit d hes talking about...bc Dr Esselstyn told me not to take vit d rabs unless i found one completely oil or fat free?
thx

Hello, I am 20 years old, I am studying at university, I was diagnosed with chronic gastritis, do you think this fasting will help me get rid of this disease? Thank you for the valuable information you provide.
That's a question for someone at True North Health Center.
@@CHEFAJ Do you know someone who suffers from chronic gastritis and who completely eliminated the disease with water fasting?
@@mehmetylmaz9537 Personally, no, but that is a question you can ask them.
@@CHEFAJ who can i ask this
Can this sos free diet help with afib and does true north ever give scholarships
Dr goldhammer add
Listening to what Dr. Goldhamer say would be served at medical conferences reminds me of the hospital I worked at in the Cardiology Department. We hold monthly physician meetings and cardiac cath conferences. For the 24 years I worked there the cardiology chief, and the changed over the years, would always have me order cold cuts, mayo based salads and cookies for every event. Cardiologist. Wanting crap. 😢🤢🤮
Doctors don’t recommend a WFPB diet because they don’t know nutrition, and they aren’t eating that way themselves. Doctors eat like everyone else.
Sad but true!
Can i go fast with hct of 38%?
My curiosity is what does he mean when says “minimally processed” grains? ALL grains are processed heavily. Grains fool the satiation mechanism every single time, Hence why we overeat on them every single time.
Sure, grains do fill you up but they’re also the cheapest “food” available and have many harmful affects including opiates. Grains are given to livestock primarily for the purpose of ‘fattening them up’.
Chef AJ, I’m wondering... why are grains good?
I agree with you as a whole. I find grains raising my blood sugars significantly and are easy to overeat. They have an addictive quality, hence they are so popular. However, an ear of corn is not processed at all. Oat groats or even steel cut you can hardly call processed. My job is very physical, so I burn through the sugars quickly. But most people have sedentary jobs and do not need these starches to fuel them. Actually, I find beans and peas and lentils to be the best sustaining fuel source, aside, of course, from veggies, fruit and nuts/seeds. 🙂🌱
Maybe you are eating so-called whole grain cereals instead of cooking true whole grains (groats).
He means as close to how they appear in nature as possible. Whole grains with the "shell" as a first option, the whole grain without the shell would be the second best.
White flour is the worst, that's the most processed.
L F if you burn through sugars (fruit) easily, why not just eat more when you’re empty? Starches aren’t a good fuel source (they release slowly rather than rapidly) - especially for ppl who need a consistent fuel source, aka athletes or ppl who “work” for food. Besides this, there’s a million other reasons why starch is second best
Wondering your thoughts on my situation. Been doing 1-2 meals per day with no junk food for 2-3 months- was doing good until I caught covid in December and have had a few crappy days of binge eating sweets in between IF since. And since, I’ve also attempted to go 3 days fast on 2 different times drinking water and an electrolyte powder. Each time around the 60 hour mark I get very faint and light headed so I eat a salad, lie down, and feel better in about an hour. I’ve never been diagnosed with diabetes, nor have had high sugar readings, but over the last couple of years I’ve noticed symptoms such as tingling/numbness in limbs, eye floaters, frequent urination, dry mouth/thirsty at night mostly, was told I had a fatty liver by naturopath, and had high blood count on bilirubin and liver proteins one time(March 2020). I hear about DKA and wonder if what I’m feeling when I’m in hour 60 is a sign of it. My glucose level was in 60s, and my ketone on the urine strip is in moderate section when I’m feeling that way. I’m also experiencing a weird taste in my mouth the last couple of weeks- can’t really describe it. Not really metallic to me, but more acidic I think. Any ideas?
I'm not a dr., but you can certainly do a consult with Dr. Goldhammer through the True North website.
@@CHEFAJ I’ll do that. Thanks!
Do check your insulin and bloodsugar levels. I developed isulin problems AFTER covid, according to my doctor, it seems to be a common post-covid sympton. There sees to be a Covid-risk to pancreas, which affect adrenal and insulin responsel
@@mslabber1028 thanks very much for your insight!
How old is Chef Aj?
He stated he is 61
This guy looks easily 40
Go FRUITARIAN 👍🏼👍🏼💥
Like your tee Chef AJ. Where did you buy it?
It was a gift so I am sorry I do not know
I'll stick with meats
I just bought a premium brand of hot dogs. I can't bring myself to throw them away along with the organic ketchup, sweet relish and all the rest.
Give them away.
Of you have a pet, give them a gourmet dinner. Dogs and cats are meat eaters and it is better than crappy pet food.
What about these people who eat nothing but meat and they are healthy and have high energy and they don't have heart problem. Those meat eaters only put salt on their meat and they have no problem.
Your always going to have some people who genetically are very resistant to external environmental stressors. However, MOST people will succomb to the diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and strokes, etc.
This is very sad…. I agree with him about fasting, but eating the way they recommend…. No salt , no animal products at all , no body will live for ever what is the point of living a life without enjoyment…. I tried the no sugar oil , salt and not animal products… before this I was very healthy… after 40 plus pound gained, cavities, lost half of my hair, skin got horrible…. Lots of rashes and acne….thyroid was affected grow a cyst in it…. I was sad and miserable, always hungry, They must be very careful with the recommendations, I am sure that works for some people but not for all. I do better with fasting one or twice a week, and tried to eat low carb… and if I eat carbs, only complex and once a day. Lost 30 pounds all ready … teeth are better whiter… hair still working on regrowing it, skin is healing , thyroid is better, hormones better…
Sorry to hear this didn't work for you, but I'm here to tell you that many, in fact most all who eat this way absolutely enjoy their food and have cured many of their health issues and are thriving and enjoying life to the fullest! I'm glad to hear you are doing better now, and thanks for sharing your experience.
If veganism is so healthy, then why do children suffer health issues from it? Why is it deficient of B 12? And if meat is so wrong, why did the creator of all things, Jesus, eat fish? I've tried many things and going into ketosis from a Keto diet or carnivore diet was the best for me. The minute I eat carbs, all weight loss stopped, blood sugar spiked, and cravings came back. On Keto, I had many health issues because I was juicing Kale, which led to thyroiditis. I had to learn the hard way what cruciferous raw veggies will do to your heath unless you cook them to destroy the bad effects on your thyroid. Plant foods do have nutrients but are not bio-available to be absorbed in your body without fat or rather animal products. So no, veganism long term is not healthy, our brains need fat. Eggs are loaded with healthy nutrients for the brain. I know I am going to get bashed for my comment, but do your own research and listen to naturopaths talk about why veganism is not the solution.
Watch forks over knives or game changers on Netflix. Animal protein actually originates from plants and B12 is given to the animals which is how you get it when eaten. So either way it's supplemented. I've been wfpb for a short amount of time and I'm sleeping better (I was waking up in the middle of the night wheezing and coughing) and have more energy than I have done for a long time. You should absolutely research it and make an educated decision based on your findings, but research both sides.
I like how Goldhamer wants to hear criticism and also acknowledges that this is hard and how much easier it is for someone like him to eat the way he recommends.
I can only speaking for myself but as someone who has been struggling with alot of different mental health struggles including eating disorders since I was about 10, (am 20 now).
I'd have to say that eating a whole food plant based diet was the best thing I ever did to combat them and save myself from my living nightmare of always thinking about food. Because I'd already been vegan since I was 17, but my disorded eating was only getting worse. But when I went WFPB (about 8 months ago) all, and I mean All of my mental health problems got a tone of alot easier to deal with.
So I thank doctors like him and Gregor and people who use their influence for good like Lilykoi Hawaii and Mic the Vegan and Chef AJ. Because when I got the scientific and the anecdotal proof that it could get better I tried it and it honestly saved my life and it is so much easier to deal with nowadays.
Congratulations!! Blessings to you.
Love hearing from you people.. Aj and Goldmamar..
He looks incredible for 61!
He's 35
@@ImASoloMother !
Thank you both for setting such a high standard! I’m glad you don’t let the naysayers get to you!
He looks half his biological age. He is his own best advertisement.
yes - I note Drs Colin Campbell, Esselstyne, this Dr ! THEY LOOK GREAT.
I struggle all the time because no one in my family eats healthy!
I understand...I'm the only one in my family eating WFPB, SOS free. As frustrating as it is, it reminds me to be the one who sets a good example and to show them it is possible...and enjoyable. Stay strong!
The best criticism of the bad is the practice of the better. St. Francis of Assisi. I have this sign in my kitchen. I also live with a husband, child and elderly mother who are junk food eaters. I mess up sometimes but generally eat well. You have to fight for it! Watch Chef A.J. a lot, this has helped me!! Thank you A.J.!!!
Really tough. My approach is to make WFPB meals for us all then just add a meat item to the meal for them.
LizzieDripping I do the same. I get to eat the healthy way I want and my husband gets the meat he wants
Joan Ifland has some helpful things to say about this, she talks a lot about mirror neurons...
Ate the table decorations. I swear, this guy could do stand up!
You should see him when he's happy. He's a riot then.
He's in his sixties and lives in California with that skin wrinkling sun... look at his beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful skin
He very possibly uses a moisturiser. Why not? But yes - he has a skin like fine china.
Love Dr. Goldhamer’s no nonsense approach. I’ve not looked back since I started eating this way. For me it represents freedom and peace!
I could listen to Dr. Goldhamer for hours ... his no no sense approach is refreshing. I love the comment about flying from NYC to CA ... you won’t die over Colorado without food! This question is so common I need to listen and quote Dr. G exactly! I’ve always felt like fasting was a super power (done right). The Pleasure Trap was a great read when I transitioned from veg to began in 2004. Thanks for this interview series Chef AJ!
Dr G is quite right about diet after gastric bypass but after about 3 years I have been able to eat a WFPB SOS diet, eating large volumes of food. It is the ONLY way I have found to feel satisfied, healthy AND maintain weight loss. Thank you both ❤️
I love the True North Health Center!
A J it’s a great place
For me every so often I have to re-commit to all this.
I go along healthy and happy and then slip back in bad things - then have to sort of re-inspire myself
Same here. Slip ups aren't huge, but still. It's a day to day adventure, isn't it?
Me too, Brenda. The environment is unnatural and makes it very tough.
I find socialising difficult. Everyone thinks I'm wierd.
Me too. I go through periods when I watch many many of these wonderful videos to refresh my knowledge and commit to a wfpb lifestyle. I love these interviews Chef AJ has been doing through the lockdown. It really does feel like a community and that we are all supporting each other.
Yes, Liz Grant, I find you have to be secure enough in your conviction in eating this way, to be willing to be the odd man out! Just remember your big WHY!
„.... they want to help as many people as possible and they are kind and caring people - well that is not me.“ Goldhammer is as clear and honest as usual. Take it or leave it or ask Dr. Lisle for help. I love them both!
