I have been following Dr. Esselstyn's reversal plan for eleven years. I had a heart attack several years ago. A recent angiogram indicates zero blockages, not even narrowing. He knows what he is talking about and he is very kind and generous with his time.
I’m doing it but not fully as all my family eat sad , I’m 71 and doing pretty well but I’d love to be 100 percent, I’m just wondering does the rest of your family do this as everyone on this show eats this way and that makes it really so much easier to sustain the diet
I did my first doctors visit in 10 years since going plant based. I can't wait to get the results. My blood pressure blew my doctor away. She said it was the blood pressure of a 20 year old 113/73. with no meds. Just whole food plant based and a beer hear and there. I apricate all the research you've done. Im 53 with a resting heart rate of 47.
Some people think plant-based diet, whole foods diet is extreme. Half a million people a year will have their chests opened up and a vein taken from their leg and sewn onto their coronary artery. Some people would call that extreme. ~Caldwell Esselstyn (1933-)
I absolutely love this family. I could listen to them talk for days on end about anything. I especially love Rip's Instagram posts of their family meals. Real humans doing excellent work for humankind. ❤
I agree with the comment that Ann Crile was recognized for her contribution to her husband’s work only as an afterthought …..thanks to her daughter. Most wives would not have been so dedicated & committed to this theory that her husband had in 1984 …to the point of researching foods, creating recipes & spending the hours in the kitchen preparing them for a family of 6 people to eat 3 times a day for decades…..& still keep up a teaching job & an exercise program at the same time. Her organizational skills must have been & still are, simply amazing. She deserves equal credit. Because of her commitment to his work, we have an entire family consisting of 43 people that are living proof that his theory was correct & is now easily recognized by the public as being so….better than wading through medical journals for research papers.
Since I started the plant based journey my appetite for processed foods and sugar went away. I also have more energy and feel lighter and when I put it to the test by eating processed foods again I feel bad and heavy again. I can not yet walk over water like Jesus but with the plant based lifestyle I feel like getting closer to it.
Took me 6 yrs yo get flour products out. It's everywhere in life from pizza shops & donut places. Occasionally tries to creep back but I'm in control now.
I love this family! they are so inspiring and amazing! I have most of their cookbooks and love eating this way. I'm trying to add more plant-based fare into my diet and cut out all animal products. Love their enthusiasm and recipes! The Esselstyn's are amazing! Thank you for sharing this with the world, this needs to be heard. Dolores
When you think they could have kept this all to themselves, but chose to share with the world...pretty selfless and amazing. Ann and jane are like Lucy and ethel!
This was one of the best evenings of my life. It was such an honor to be amongst so much human greatness! Thank you so much, PCRM and the Esselstyn family, for being the ultimate of trailblazers and change-makers.
So true about Dr Esselstyn. He called my brother personally to talk to him about his heart condition and what he could do. Unfortunately my brother did not follow the suggestions strictly and has lost his battle😢 I personally believe in the wfpbd and due to my husband recently having stents placed its my goal to make this our way of life. Id also love for my husband to get that stern chat with Dr Esselstyn 😁
My dad never made it past 62 he had multiple by pass surgeries and several heart attacks starting when he was in his early forties. This was before stents. I knew intuitively early on it was diet related but I couldn't convince him of it though I did try. I gave him a salt substitute once and he got very angry about it so there wasn't much I could do. I think he truly believed there was nothing wrong with his diet and changing it wouldn't make any difference so he didn't even try, though I knew it was possible. This was in the late 70's. I became a vegetarian early on at age 20 after witnessing his demise and didn't consume any red meat and haven't in over 45 years and now a vegan for the past 6 years. Seeing other people suffer can have a very powerful and profound effect on people who witness it. Life style changing in my case.
I was once fooled into believing the Keto diet was a good thing. BOY have I learned a lot since then. It hurt my health. I feel the diet is from the pit. I hate it. I gave it up last winter and my health has only improved. My husband had been on HBP meds and is off them now with perfect BP. Yay. Thank you to all of you! ❤
got to meet, shake hands and speak with John Caldwell Esselstyn for about 2 minutes after a talk he gave at a local medical school. his wife was there too but i didnt speak much to her after a brief introduction. wont forget that one. I got pictures to prove it!

I enjoyed this. I really have learned so much from the Esselstyn's (all of them). Thank you for your stand in educating people on how important plant-based diet is for our health. Also hearing about Stanley and how well he has done on a plant-based diet was just way cool!!!
That was lovely. The Esselstyn family and PCRM are both so inspirational. Also, all very funny. The whole sex ed stuff was on point, but also hilarious in how it was presented. 💚
Jane is fabulous - 10K nerves in the clitoris - I'm 77 and wish I'd known this sooner, losing pleasure after menopause isn't normal no matter what my doctor has said. WFPB diet should be prescribed!!!
My mother will be celebrating her 101 birthday on January 2024 too....she has no wrinkles l call them creases. She's off all meds except 1 for blood pressure and 1 sleeping pill.....yay for mom. She was born and raised in mainland China. She resides in the bay area of the Silicon Valley. She's a sassy ole gal.....with 4 children and many grands and great. And she only had 1 husband......
The Esselstyn family has helped me realize that simply being vegan isn’t enough. A person could eat loads of fried tofu and still technically be vegan. I like how they emphasize “plant based whole food” instead.
Honestly I've never seen the clitoris. I When everyone talked about clitoris in the red room and chat room, I googled in to locate and view the clitoris and I was shocked.
JANE DESERVED A STANDING OVATION FOR THAT. Superstars, all of them, and Jane is the spice. Ann also crazy lady, love how you could hear a pin drop in the carpet when she spoke of her wedding dinner. Lord, I love those two crazy ladies and I watch their videos all the time. I used to be addicted to Lindsay S. Nixon cookbooks but now it's the crazy Esselstyn ladies' cookbooks - they are great. These women are truly talented. Yeah, the men in that family are also. Jane says her husband Brian is the best cook in the house. Essy himself of course is the Head of the Superstars there...
You all are so blessed! The fact that your children didn’t rebel is amazing! I am plant based, but I served turkey, dressing and desserts that were not plant based for Thanksgiving so my family would come eat. I tried serving plant based last year and it was not well received. I love being plant based, but my family aren’t even slightly interested in eating that way. It’s heartbreaking. I’m so happy for you and your family!😃👏🏽💕
Love this family! I wish I would have grown up with this knowledge, however at 67 I am trying to follow their way of eating. I recently purchased the new cookbook which I am thoroughly enjoying. The one issue I have is the fact that I have had 3 kidney stones over my lifetime, calcium oxalate and eating a lot of certain greens, mainly the best ones for health increases my chances of another stone. I also have hemochromatosis and have to watch my iron intake. I would love suggestions on how to approach increasing greens in my diet without increasing the risk of another kidney stone. Appreciate any and all input on the matter. Congratulations on the award!!
There is hope (and hopefully, you get this message). Certain foods do tend to have high levels of oxalates, which in some people, cause the formation of stones. I always warn people about green smoothies, as although they're full of beneficial plant chemicals, the oxalate level can be extremely high. Logically, we would never get such an amount as gatherers. There are cases of people with Acute Kidney Injury, a sudden failure of the kidneys, due to a surge of oxalates. This is documented and not internet myth. For you, I would recommend getting some tables of foods with their relative oxalate levels, and making sure you never have too much in any one meal. Also, dietary calcium can bind to some oxalate, making it harmless. In the UK, we drink lots of tea, a natural source of oxalate. This is rarely a problem though as we drink milk with it, a source of calcium. And when I say milk, I mean oat, soya, or almond, the products that have massively taken over in the UK, even amongst non plant-based people. I did some research, and for many meals, getting around 100 mg of calcium in that meal, tended to make any oxalate harmless. The exact ratio escapes me, but the research is out there (use PubMed, if possible). Many plant-based foods have added calcium, and although some in the 'whole food plant-based' community are against anything that doesn't just grow out of the ground, these additions are fine and indeed healthy. Also, citrate, found in many foods but especially citrus fruits like lemon has demonstrated effectiveness at reducing many types of existing stones. Again, this is not just internet quack hype, it genuinely does work. To start, I'd add a squeezed whole lemon in a glass of water once daily. Although the drink tastes acidic, once in the body, it leaves an alkali 'ash', a source of alkaline chemicals to offset acidity, and breakdown existing stones, especially the common types. Make sure you rinse you mouth with plain water after, as the lemon chemicals in that area are indeed acidic to tooth enamel. Once in the body though, they create alkilinity, promoting bone and tooth health, and reducing inflammation. Hope this helps. Good luck, and don't let things get you off the healthy path. Eating dead muscle and milk meant for a cow's baby is never the way forward, physiologically or morally. All the best.
Why don't people learn? This information has been available since at least 1980. I guess the deceiving dairy & meat industries have been too sucessful promoting their propoganda.
More than 5 years of plant based eating and I thought I was doing well - enjoying my food and life. My regular visit to my doctor identified a very high LPa level and a subsequent very high calcium score. I was already eating loads of greens at every meal but no amount of greens is going to reverse my LPa score. I’ve now just had 2 stents because I had an 80% and 70% blockages - no choice. I’m even more determined to eat loads of healthy greens every day. However, my point is I was never going to reverse this diagnosis - I would only have died trying.
You're Lipoprotein(a) level means nothing to the human body. "Remarkably, one-quarter of the centenarians had high Lp(a) serum levels even though they never suffered from atherosclerosis-related diseases." 1998 G. Baggio. "Nonetheless, the apo(a) size distribution in centenarians did not entirely explain the high Lp(a) levels observed in this population. Factors other than apo(a) size, and which may be either genetic or environmental in nature, appear to contribute to the elevated plasma Lp(a) levels of our centenarian population. We conclude therefore that high plasma Lp(a) levels are compatible with longevity." 1998 article by J Thillet
Thank you for that. I’ll try and get my hands on that article. With arteries that were 80% blocked and 70% blocked, I really had no alternative even though everything in my plant-based knowledge told me that this shouldn’t be happening. However, I will never give up on my plant based diet.
@@Greg-kz3cf It was not the Lp(a) that can be verified that caused any problem maybe it was what you were doing before the last 5 years. In some cases a high carb plant diet can cause heart disease which was proven with these slim and fit long term Chinese vegetarians with a BMI of 22 taking no medicines which could hurt their cardiovascular health is provided here. 2005 article "Vascular Dysfunction in Chinese Vegetarians: An Apparent Paradox?" The CIMT does not lie.
I am just currently watching a new documentary on UA-cam. It’s called ‘The Obesity Conspiracy’ I got all excited because I saw familiar faces such as Dr. Barnard, Rip, Dr Clapper and some others. Problem is that about 18 minutes into the doc they encouraged people to eat meat. Thought I would pass this info to you folks.
The average person in the USA consumes about 2.5 ounces or beef per day. So are you saying the obesity epidemic is caused from these 150 calories of food per day?
@@annemccarron2281 But single ingredient meat, egg, fish have all proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals except Vitamin C the body needs to prevent all diseases, processed foods and oils do not have all those nutrients so why have them listed all in the same one sentence?
@@Jeffs60EVERY food has nutrients - including processed foods. Even dirt has iron, cooper, & other micronutrients. Cardboard has fiber which is a macronutrient. You have to weigh the good components against the bad components. Give me a cup of processed tomatoe sauce with a little sugar (which is not good for me) over a cup with three egg yokes any time. I don't want sugar but I certainly don't want all the cholesterol in the yokes. Most people have to read dozens, if not hundreds, of research articles or watch dozens, if not hundreds, of honest, research-based podcasts to sort out the idiosyncrasies of a healthy diet or obtain a PhD in nutrition. Even then, people have misunderstandings.
@@annemccarron2281 It's that complicated? How did your grandparents figure it out? And in 1826 President John Adams was 90 and eating pretty good and what type of synthetic vitamins and supplements was he taking?
I have a quick question ~ I have a heart valve which has "calcification" on it and it's causing a murmur. It's not bad enough to need replacement--yet. The cardiologist says there's absolutely nothing I can do to change it, but then again, he doesn't seem to promote change of food/lifestyle ~ he actually seemed rather negative about me having gone whole-food plant-based, no oil, etc. Is it possible for this heart valve calcification to start to slowly go away? Can it slowly break down over time and kind of fix itself or at least "freeze" where it's currently at? If the answer is "no", then it's no, but I wonder if it's possible.
Can whole foods plant based diet also reverse degenerative diseases like cervical spondylosis, ligaments and discs issues, stenosis and same ddd stuff?
I want to go on the plant based diet, but I keep hearing we don’t get all the nutrients we need. Is there someone that has been plant based for years willing to share their labs showing they are not lacking any nutrients? besides B12? Thanks.
Good question. I've been watching UA-cam a long time. I've watched people that went WFPB share their labs. And this one and that one would say they were deficient in one thing or another (other than B12). Luckily never more than one nutrient or mineral would be low. They'd find out due to a symptom, had it checked by their MD and it would show up in their blood work. However, the good thing was, they healed themselves of all health issues and/or got off all their meds. That alone would be worth going WFPB and risk being low in one thing or another, and being able to take a supplement, OR eating more of the food that has what they are low in. But it's a good concern to raise. It's definitely a learning curve. I'm working towards being completely compliant. It would be so much easier if I were surrounded by people like the Esselstyn family, or people like them, that aren't constantly putting down the WFPB lifestyle.
Just look at the two people on stage who are nearly 90 years old and have been WFPB since the early 1980s. Beyond that, put what you would eat on a WFPB diet into a nutrition tracking app and you'll find that you won't be deficient in any nutrients
Google Plant Based Athlete and go to their website. I believe they have a program to help you find your nutrition profile and recommendations. Or just connect with a good plant based Doctor who can help you do labs to see what you can eat to get all the nutrition from plants needed for you specifically.
Vegan and WFPB for over 5 years, no deficiencies. I was anemic BEFORE changing my diet. The only supplements I take are B-12, algae based EPA DHA, and vitamin D in the winter. I’m off all medications, I’ve dropped 25 lbs, reversed pre diabetes, resolved my asthma and eczema, and no more migraines! I’m a 50 year old woman. My only regret is not having started sooner.
I can not find a non stick pan that stays non-stick longer than 2 months. If we're not supposed to use oil, please tell me of a good and healthy non-stick pan that has no teflon, no aluminum, and no chemicals like PFOS. Thank you
@@manjariiyer3484Dr. Barnard advocates against cast iron pans. It can be ingested and can lead to toxic levels of iron if used often. Just use water to saulte.
The subject matter was plant based eating and disease. If sexual pleasure was a subject there should have been a parental advisory to allow parents of small children to decide whether to exposé their their children to this .
Can someone please sponsor me to be able to stay at the True North Health Center? I'm in so much pain, I have been sick more than 10 years, my mom have to help me out of bed. Unfortunately I cannot afford their services. I desire to get off my medication.
@@nommh I'm trying my best, most of the time I cannot cook for myself, and I cannot digest raw veggies because of my thyroid gland. Thank you Very much for your concern, I will figure it out. God bless you.
I have been following Dr. Esselstyn's reversal plan for eleven years. I had a heart attack several years ago. A recent angiogram indicates zero blockages, not even narrowing. He knows what he is talking about and he is very kind and generous with his time.

Make sure you rinse you mouth with plain water after, as the lemon chemicals in that area are indeed acidic to tooth enamel. Once in the body though, they create alkilinity, promoting bone and tooth health, and reducing inflammation.
Hope this helps. Good luck, and don't let things get you off the healthy path. Eating dead muscle and milk meant for a cow's baby is never the way forward, physiologically or morally.
All the best.
@@officialfreddyfox Thank you! I have incorporated lemon water as a staple in my diet. Thank you for your reply!! Much appreciated!!
Jane is so funny and true. Sad we never knew this until 2022.
Bendiciones a esta familia❤
Wow!! THANKS, a million times over(!!!) for your contribution to the Plant Based way of life!!

Thank you! 🥦❤🥦❤
So motivating!!! ❤❤❤❤
I wanna make entrances like Ann when I'm that age
The Heart Failure Clinic and the Cardiac Department in Dover NH sure does need to learn about the Esselstyn message.
Why don't people learn? This information has been available since at least 1980. I guess the deceiving dairy & meat industries have been too sucessful promoting their propoganda.
This was freaking hilarious 😂
Rip is my dream man. 😍
More than 5 years of plant based eating and I thought I was doing well - enjoying my food and life. My regular visit to my doctor identified a very high LPa level and a subsequent very high calcium score. I was already eating loads of greens at every meal but no amount of greens is going to reverse my LPa score. I’ve now just had 2 stents because I had an 80% and 70% blockages - no choice. I’m even more determined to eat loads of healthy greens every day. However, my point is I was never going to reverse this diagnosis - I would only have died trying.
You're Lipoprotein(a) level means nothing to the human body. "Remarkably, one-quarter of the centenarians had high Lp(a) serum levels even though they never suffered from atherosclerosis-related diseases." 1998 G. Baggio.
"Nonetheless, the apo(a) size distribution in centenarians did not entirely explain the high Lp(a) levels observed in this population. Factors other than apo(a) size, and which may be either genetic or environmental in nature, appear to contribute to the elevated plasma Lp(a) levels of our centenarian population. We conclude therefore that high plasma Lp(a) levels are compatible with longevity." 1998 article by J Thillet
Thank you for that. I’ll try and get my hands on that article. With arteries that were 80% blocked and 70% blocked, I really had no alternative even though everything in my plant-based knowledge told me that this shouldn’t be happening. However, I will never give up on my plant based diet.
@@Greg-kz3cf It was not the Lp(a) that can be verified that caused any problem maybe it was what you were doing before the last 5 years. In some cases a high carb plant diet can cause heart disease which was proven with these slim and fit long term Chinese vegetarians with a BMI of 22 taking no medicines which could hurt their cardiovascular health is provided here. 2005 article "Vascular Dysfunction in Chinese Vegetarians: An Apparent Paradox?" The CIMT does not lie.
I am just currently watching a new documentary on UA-cam. It’s called ‘The Obesity Conspiracy’ I got all excited because I saw familiar faces such as Dr. Barnard, Rip, Dr Clapper and some others. Problem is that about 18 minutes into the doc they encouraged people to eat meat. Thought I would pass this info to you folks.
The average person in the USA consumes about 2.5 ounces or beef per day. So are you saying the obesity epidemic is caused from these 150 calories of food per day?
@@Jeffs60AND the eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, processed foods, oils, chicken & fish!
@@annemccarron2281 But single ingredient meat, egg, fish have all proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals except Vitamin C the body needs to prevent all diseases, processed foods and oils do not have all those nutrients so why have them listed all in the same one sentence?
@@Jeffs60EVERY food has nutrients - including processed foods. Even dirt has iron, cooper, & other micronutrients. Cardboard has fiber which is a macronutrient. You have to weigh the good components against the bad components. Give me a cup of processed tomatoe sauce with a little sugar (which is not good for me) over a cup with three egg yokes any time. I don't want sugar but I certainly don't want all the cholesterol in the yokes. Most people have to read dozens, if not hundreds, of research articles or watch dozens, if not hundreds, of honest, research-based podcasts to sort out the idiosyncrasies of a healthy diet or obtain a PhD in nutrition. Even then, people have misunderstandings.
@@annemccarron2281 It's that complicated? How did your grandparents figure it out? And in 1826 President John Adams was 90 and eating pretty good and what type of synthetic vitamins and supplements was he taking?
Love the red, Chuck!
I want the dessert recipe!!!
This is like the Second Coming with Dr. Esselstyn overturning the tables of the money changers all over again!
"Clitorati" is forever in my language now.
I would love to have an impact like your family and also Thanksgiving with you would be a real fun time
Herzlichen Dank
Are vegetable drinks made from powdered mixes any good?
I have a quick question ~ I have a heart valve which has "calcification" on it and it's causing a murmur. It's not bad enough to need replacement--yet. The cardiologist says there's absolutely nothing I can do to change it, but then again, he doesn't seem to promote change of food/lifestyle ~ he actually seemed rather negative about me having gone whole-food plant-based, no oil, etc. Is it possible for this heart valve calcification to start to slowly go away? Can it slowly break down over time and kind of fix itself or at least "freeze" where it's currently at? If the answer is "no", then it's no, but I wonder if it's possible.
Gather your friends around and become more “clitorate” 😂 Very clever
Can whole foods plant based diet also reverse degenerative diseases like cervical spondylosis, ligaments and discs issues, stenosis and same ddd stuff?
Next step : to get millions more families like the Esselstyns…

I want to go on the plant based diet, but I keep hearing we don’t get all the nutrients we need. Is there someone that has been plant based for years willing to share their labs showing they are not lacking any nutrients? besides B12? Thanks.
Good question. I've been watching UA-cam a long time. I've watched people that went WFPB share their labs. And this one and that one would say they were deficient in one thing or another (other than B12). Luckily never more than one nutrient or mineral would be low. They'd find out due to a symptom, had it checked by their MD and it would show up in their blood work. However, the good thing was, they healed themselves of all health issues and/or got off all their meds. That alone would be worth going WFPB and risk being low in one thing or another, and being able to take a supplement, OR eating more of the food that has what they are low in. But it's a good concern to raise. It's definitely a learning curve. I'm working towards being completely compliant. It would be so much easier if I were surrounded by people like the Esselstyn family, or people like them, that aren't constantly putting down the WFPB lifestyle.
Just look at the two people on stage who are nearly 90 years old and have been WFPB since the early 1980s. Beyond that, put what you would eat on a WFPB diet into a nutrition tracking app and you'll find that you won't be deficient in any nutrients
Google Plant Based Athlete and go to their website. I believe they have a program to help you find your nutrition profile and recommendations.
Or just connect with a good plant based Doctor who can help you do labs to see what you can eat to get all the nutrition from plants needed for you specifically.
Vegan and WFPB for over 5 years, no deficiencies. I was anemic BEFORE changing my diet. The only supplements I take are B-12, algae based EPA DHA, and vitamin D in the winter. I’m off all medications, I’ve dropped 25 lbs, reversed pre diabetes, resolved my asthma and eczema, and no more migraines! I’m a 50 year old woman. My only regret is not having started sooner.
@@kefirheals7383Maybe ask yourself if the people putting down the WFPB diet are as healthy as the people who are eating this way? 💚✨

I can not find a non stick pan that stays non-stick longer than 2 months. If we're not supposed to use oil, please tell me of a good and healthy non-stick pan that has no teflon, no aluminum, and no chemicals like PFOS. Thank you
Use cast iron…behaves just like non stick except it’s permanent. The only thing is it requires
maintenance.
@@manjariiyer3484Dr. Barnard advocates against cast iron pans. It can be ingested and can lead to toxic levels of iron if used often. Just use water to saulte.

The subject matter was plant based eating and disease. If sexual pleasure was a subject there should have been a parental advisory to allow parents of small children to decide whether to exposé their their children to this .
Can someone please sponsor me to be able to stay at the True North Health Center? I'm in so much pain, I have been sick more than 10 years, my mom have to help me out of bed. Unfortunately I cannot afford their services. I desire to get off my medication.
Have you changed your diet yet? Wish you all the best!
@@nommh I'm trying my best, most of the time I cannot cook for myself, and I cannot digest raw veggies because of my thyroid gland. Thank you Very much for your concern, I will figure it out. God bless you.
