Great video as always. However, a question remain, what about regular people?
I've been thinking about this subject lately. Thanks for the video! đŸ™‚
I was actually googling today if I should stop my fish oil supplements….
I became a HCLF vegan in November 2014. It was the best thing that I have done to myself. My inspiration was Freelee, the banana girl. Before then, I have a history of severe eating disorder (bulimia + anorexia + BED) since 2002. I thought I had food addiction – hence joined a 12 step program in 2010 which promoted mostly non-vegan foods as well as weighing and measuring of every food. Additionally, we had to abstain from all forms of sugar, wheat, and flour.
Needless to say that I had all kinds of health issues ranging from hormonal imbalances to back aches. One such health issue was having no menstrual cycle (naturally) for almost 12 years. But I got back my periods within a month of going HCLF vegan and kept having those at regular intervals since then (and surely I have recovered from my eating disorder). But from February 2016 I am missing my cycle again. Thus, I have decided to go for a medical check up.
I am 38 year old female. I am 5'3" tall.I have stopped weighing myself for a very long time (following Freelee's advice). So, I cannot tell you my exact weight. But I think I have become leaner since I changed my lifestyle. I was eating 2100 to 2300 calories until few days ago. Now I eat at least 2500 calories every day. Mostly raw till 4, but sometimes starch solution. I exercise almost everyday that includes 3/4 miles of power walking (Leslie Sansone videos from YouTube).
Could you please help me with figuring out what might went wrong that I am "late" again. Also please let me know if there is any particular test/s I should go for in my next medical check up. I apologize for the inconvenience.Your advice is appreciated. Thank you.
I know you wanted to say so badly that Vegans don't need any additional DHA during pregnancy, but you had to tell the truth at the end. Kudos
Also since DHA is useless, I'm guessing all that stuff about the ratio has nothing to do with supplementation and everything to do with omega balance in a whole food diet. So confused.
So it does not help heart or brain according to latest studies. Is it still good for inflammation in general? Good for anything or should we just quit taking?
Will you do a video on athletes feet? my entire family suffers from it and I'm wondering if a plant based diet would help them. Or does anyone know if he already has a video on this topic???
Dr. Greger, may I ask where I can get the dha algue oil?
Can yo recommend a brad of DHA which is made of non polluted algae?
VERY INFORMATIVE! THANKS!
Great! Thanks đŸ™‚
Thanks so much for the great video!
Could you do a video about the omega 3 to 6 ratio? I've read things about how the closer the ratio, the better your body can use and store omega 3.
Good timing cause I'm pregnant as hell right now.
this argument is ridiculous DHA is processed through the fish from the algae they eat you can buy DHA extracted from algae so the argument is a moot point of whether or not you should be leaving or not DHA has been shown many times do have a huge effect on postpartum depression in the mom
Where do the mother store DHA ?
