I have to disagree with the Doctor a little. The best is not plant based, whole food but a Greger diet!
Can I safely get off blood thinners with diet? I am 70. I still ski blacks, surf, skateboard, mountain bike and work out five to six days a week. About ten years ago, I started having episodes of rapid heart beats. My resting rate was 42 and after a cardiac ablation, it changed to 51. I’m not overweight and eat mostly mediterranean, but after reading How not to Die and How Not To Age, I am willing to alter what I eat for maximum health and longevity.
I was a college athlete (Polevaulter) and have remained very active all my life. The only other health issue since the ablation was a clot in one calf, followed by every test in the book, some multiple times, that failed to identify any reason I would get a clot in my calf. So, after 90 days of Eliquis, I want off it and 8 months later, got a clot in my other calf. Repeated all the tests and nothing. The blood doctor took all the tests again. Negative, so they put me on Eliquis, for life.
Then, a year and a half ago, my cholesterol levels were too high and the doctor talked about statins. I said I wanted to try natural means and met with a dietician. She told me to lay off the coconut oil and eat more grains, legumes, nuts, fruits and vegetables. She was 99% sure the coconut oil was the issue. However, 8 months later, after photographing EVERYTHING I ate, I tested exactly the same. No change in cholesterol whatsoever.
The doctor wanted to put me on statins and I said, “Give me 90 days and I’ll fix this.” I reduced my egg consumption down to a few a week, cut out sugar almost 100%, tried to eat more good foods. Drank water with a heaping teaspoon of ginger, cinnamon and a little honey every day. I reduced my servings a little, nothing dramatic and dropped my cholesterol by about 100 points and my LDL by 49, both now in the normal, but maybe not yet to the “optimal” range.
Since then I have read the two books mentioned above. I have broadened my plant based menu. My diet lately consists nearly every day of blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, banana, apple, Beet root powder, Soy milk, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, black pepper, firm tofu, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, wheat germ, barberries, chia seeds, flax seeds, organic hemp hearts, pumpkin seed and flax granola, flax seeds, Ancient grain granola (Khorasan wheat,Spelt, almonds, Quinoa, Amaranth), home made Einkorn wheat bread, mixed green salads, frequently and a Mediterranean bowl from Zupas a few times a month, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, asparagus, extra virgin olive oil, 3-5 free range eggs a week, unsalted mixed nuts (almonds, pecans, cashews, pistachios), one scoop plant protein with 50 superfoods, a liposomal multivitamin supplement, a joint supplement and a Nielsen’s Frozen Custard with Bumblebees (raspberries and strawberries) 2 or 3 times a month. Family events result in some deviation from this menu a few times a month, but I try to include most of the above even on those days that might include to m=not to healthy additions.
I would like to eliminate Eliquis from my menu, but I also do not want to die because of that. I would guess that if there is a path to accomplish this that it would take a very knowledgeable doctor and frequent monitoring of blood levels to see if the alternative plant food alternative, was keeping the blood in the safe zone. There seems to be a natural food alternative for about everything else, why not this? If anyone can help with this, please do.

bs
What does "natural" cocoa even mean?
I have not listened to him and probably won't as I see a man teaching us how to not age being bold and wearing glasses…. strangely I doubt his theory being that efficient
Too much fixation on age is a bad idea. One should not be afraid of death, it still is natural to die. But one should be afraid of bad health and illnesses. Bad health give a low quality of life. The thing is to have a good life quality while you are alive. If it’s 50 years or 100 years is not relevant if you are in pain and visiting doctors giving your hard earned money to big pharma for 50 years. Life quality is not eating tasty foods and dinking alcohol or at least shouldn’t be. It being outdoors in nature alone or together with people who are your friends.
Hugely Misleading
Most of the study "Conclusions" he mentioned in this long speech have huge disclaimers, perhaps everyone of them – but he conveniently skipped all of those "buts" – and presented them as final conclusions, to drive his pre-concluded viewpoints
The result is visible in the comments section – huge cheerleading from Vegans
How not to age from someone who looks old and unfit.
How can I buy this book translated in portuguese? I am from Brasil…
It is important to note that the HRT info was for synthetic hormones not the now prescribed bioidentical ones that help a lot with many illnesses.
If you add the youtuber James at " i" investanswers" to this recipe you will be able to finance your longevity. 😉
Dr. Greger's presentation was very funny and entertaining. But I must admit I do have major issues with some of his conclusions. He claims to have over 13,000 citations, presumably supporting his conclusions. Does he realize that 50% of health studies in PUBMED are now assumed to be poor constructively, or just plain wrong. And I would very much disagree that genetics plays only 25% role in our longevity. Just as an older adult myself, with numerous older acquaintances, I can plainly see how certain families are afflicted with certain maladies; including through generations. Genetics most certainly plays a much higher role. However, Dr. Greger is trying to help, I applaud his interest in supplying new information which we are free to take or leave.
Dr. I appreciate all the amazing things you shared and have transformed many lives.
I have a question and need help. How come people from the country who are primary vegetarians for many generations are not those with the longest life expectancy, 68 years (2021)? Instead, people live in the country where they are not having as much sun light, such as Canada, is having life expectancy of 82.6 years (2021).
I'm not very smart and can use your gentle help to learn.
Thank you, Sir.
Mice fed fish…
Hmm.
I've been a vegan for over 30 yrs. I have genetically high LDL. When I was a college senior, in chemistry, I gave a one hour seminar on the therapeutic affects of allium sativa. I always cook with garlic powder and saute garlic but when my husband was diagnosed with throat cancer ( never smoked), I started making both of us bread with home made hummus with chopped fresh garlic and a splash of good grade olive oil. Months before I tried a statin which only lowered my ldl a few points. After 2 months of fresh garlic daily, my ldl went down over 25 points. Triglycerides also went down and total cholesterol went down also. HDL has always remained high.
My advice to anyone for prevention of disease is have some yummy fresh garlic bread every day . My seminar focused on cancer ( garlic acts like glutathione peroxidase ). But my two hour seminar, which originally included experiments relating to heart disease, had to be cut to one hour, so I chose the chemistry of allium sativa. EAT FRESH GARLIC. Maybe you'll be part of the group that it helps.
I love this man. ❤
I'm utterly shocked at his recommendation to take Black human powder. I can't believe there is such a thing! I don't care how much it benefits memory, this needs to be stopped!
Henry Kissinger's favorite foods were bratwurst (sausage) and wiener schnitzel (deep fried veal cutlets). Being German he most likely washed it all down with a beer. He lived to be 100 years old.
Your message is wonderful. Your presentation is awful. When I saw your public lecture I was appalled at the unnatural way you spoke. I strongly recommend that you get professional guidance to help you speak to an audience the way you speak in your one-on-one videos.
Absolutely brilliant
His generalization of the blue zone longevity, as being based on a plant-based diet alone, is ridiculous. In the blue zone he cited, Loma Linda, there are both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Vegetarian Adventist men there have an average lifespan of 83.3 years versus 81 years for non-vegetarian Adventists. For women, it is 85.7 years vs 84, for a difference of 1.7 years. The difference in lifespan is noticeable, but not that dramatic. There are many more factors that can be found in blue-zones that can lead to large increases in lifespan, like for example, close-knit communities that support the elderly. Did he even read the studies that show how living in nursing homes is associated with a sharply reduced lifespan for the elderly? Having children and grandchildren you care for and who care for you can significantly increase your chances of living longer. And how about the abundance of probiotics found in the diets of the majority of people living in the blue zones?
Has this guy even considered that the increased potassium, and not not decreased sodium may have been the primary factor reducing cardiovascular risk? There are so many published studies showing how increased potassium intake substantially reduces cardiovascular risk that I cannot help but wonder why he failed to mention this. Potassium is essential for heart function, blood pressure regulation, and even muscle and nerve function. Why did he not mention that? Sodium and potassium are both important for muscle and nerve function, but potassium is what most people need to take more of.
Relationship Between Spermidine and Stroke: Fact or Myth?
A study titled "Serum Spermidine in Relation to Risk of Stroke: A Multilevel Study" by Liqiang Zheng and colleagues sheds light on the implications of serum spermidine levels on stroke risk [3].
Serum spermidine circulates in the blood and comes from the body's internal production and digestion of dietary spermidine. Measuring serum spermidine levels is mainly used for research and diagnostic purposes to stunk links with diseases or health states.
The study noted that people with the highest levels of spermidine were more likely to experience a stroke compared to those with lower levels. Specifically, the risk was significantly higher for those whose spermidine levels were in the highest range measured by the study.
THE VERY BEST INFO AND PRESENTATION I HAVE EVER HEARD !!!THANK YOU SO MUCH
I'm 67 and vegan/vegetarian for most of 35 years. My health is Excellent and my blood tests/urine tests are Excellent. I recently had a cardiovascular test that showed No problems. I eat 5 or 6 servings of fruits and veggies every day. My salt, fat and sugar intake is low.
He recommended cocoa; would cacao be better?
Concerning salt, I really don’t think that comparing men sitting in a nursing home all day is comparable to let’s say a farmer…ok it’s me, I’m the farmer. I sweat a LOT. To the point where I have to sit until it stops because it’s dripping in my eyes so badly that I can’t see. Going without salt makes me feel like crap. So maybe try a new study using people who sweat for a living. Btw, I just bought your books so it’s not like I don’t believe in what you’re teaching.
Menudo tipo raro e histérico…le deben pagar bien por extender la mentira de que la carne es mala y convencer de esto para que se llegue a los objetivos de la agenda 2030
58:37 Nicely put…
Dr. Greger contributes nicely to the field of health self-education.
Thank you! Respect to you Dr.
I'm 26 and an ER nurse. I read "How not to Die" two years ago. I went slow into it and am now fully into whole foods, plant based veganism. I cannot even begin to list all the ways your teachings and resources have changed my life. Truly, thank you!! I tell all my patients about your books. Every single patient and their families. Every day.
I've been googling trying to find evidence on why they think there is age- related muscle loss, but could find nothing. Could you please do something on this? I suspect that it's done in a similar way to blood pressure ie observe the general worsening of blood pressure and muscle loss with age. But I suspect this is because of bad diet and lack of exercise over time. Young people move around and do exercise. Older people sit doing impressions of potatoes in front of the TV for hours, drive to work etc etc.
I'm at a lost, I eat plants and I increase blood sugar, nuts, beans and Peas hurt my Gall Bladder with significant referral pain in my neck shoulders and back. Notwithstanding anything with flour does the same thing, eggs and so on and so on. My point is no one diet works for everyone but how do you find the right one for you??
No sound?
