- Heart Disease Reversal Diet - Did the Carnivore Diet Cause My Stroke?
On August 15, I had a stroke after having been on the Paleo, KETO and then the Carnivore diets. All of these diets are extremely high in animal products and saturated fats. Although after my stroke, I initially decided to remain on the carnivore diet, since that time I have studied the research extensively and made the personal decision to switch from the carnivore diet to a whole food plant based diet.
In this video I share information about why I am making the change and also information about a heart disease reversal course Alan and I will be taking very soon.
If you have any opinions about this, or anything you’d like to add, I hope you’ll share the information in the comments section below the video. That way we can help each other! XXOO Beth

I was whole foods vegetarian for over 40 years and switched to ketovore/carnovore five years ago. To be honest I feel much better being higher fat and low carb these days. My cholesterol ratios are better and AIC went from pre diabetic to normal 5.4.
Same. Grains, and starchy vegetables make me constipated and cause me to gain weight.
Everyone is different.
I went vegan for 6 month and got skinny weak and frail af couldn’t even lift in the gym lol. I will never do that again I’m on keto nearly half a year cut sugar out eating fatty meat veg and I feel amazing not to forget to mention adding organ meats in the diet I really noticed a shift in my mental state of being when I started consuming organ meats
Of course. And her new path would restore your poor health, likely add MS to the mix, send your A1C to 20, and you to meet Jesus.
I thought I saw Beth say in an earlier video that her stroke was caused by an unknown hole in her heart … not from her diet .
To each his own , I’m not carnivore but I eat meat and plenty of healthy fat and my HDL and trig ratio is now perfect when before when I was on a low fat , high plant diet with grilled chicken and brown rice etc it was terrible , and indicated I was not heart healthy .
It’s very confusing and all these people flip flopping on you tube makes it worse. Everybody has to decide for themselves , for me when I was technically doing a so called “ hearth healthy “ diet I was the sickest I have ever been . Now , I feel great and work out daily.
Maybe there is no set diet for every single person. Some people thrive on carnivore and some may thrive on low fat. People of all diets have heart attacks , vegans , whole plant based , carnivores etc , people with low cholesterol have as many heart attacks as with high cholesterol . Do what your body feels best on .
I thought she said the heart defect was the cause of the stroke also. 🤷♀️
I agree with you a 💯
Carnivore did feel good I have to admit. Unfortunately, though it turns out it is not very good for one’s health. Eating meat and dairy causes a high saturated fat diet. I wish I had known that before I started the carnivore diet. I listen to influencers that seem to know what they were talking about. I found out later however that there are no studies that support carnivore as a heart disease reversal diet. Heart disease is the number one killer in America.
I can’t speak to just carnivore because I’ve never been strictly carnivore , but I am probably a meat heavy low carb .
Studies are so controversial because they are so often done with a bias from the start or backed by big food , or big Pharma etc . The vegan and plant based community is behind many as well so I take many of them with a grain of salt.
I don’t think any diet has to be for everyone , but it’s become a battle of the influencers on you tube.
What I learned for myself as someone who used to buy into the no red meat , low fat , brown rice , grilled chicken , fruits and veggies etc … was my blood work did not back up that it was heart healthy for me , the ratios that are most indicative of heart health were not good on that low fat diet , they were double what they should have been . I had bad IBS , GERD and felt awful . I began to do low carb and upped my sat fat and it all went away and my blood work became great . I don’t see how a diet that is so bad for you can make your body feel so good and get rid of so many health issues .
As I said above , people on all diets have strokes and heart attacks , carnivores aren’t immune and neither are plant based.
The WOE battles are exhausting , people wanting to blame this diet for this or that .
Basically if people cut out the junk they will be better off no matter what else they eat . People should eat what is working best for their body reflected in blood work and how they feel . I do still trust many of the people like Dr Berry who have many studies of his own about heart health and meat. I do love veggies and eat them as well. Glad you are doing so well .
@@FiftyPlusBeauty Likewise, there are no valid studies that naturally occurring fat found in meat causes heart disease either. Transfats are the bad fats and those are artificially created. Wishing you the best!
I never understood how eating all meat and saturated fats could be healthy.
Humans have evolved over 2 - 3 million years to hunt and eat meat. Our bodies are acclimated to it. We need protein and fat to survive. We are not evolved to eat plans. Our bodies have zero need for plants, carbs, or fiber. We MUST have protein and fat. The reason you think meat and fat are unhealthy is because scientists and media have been paid by corporate food interests to lie to us for the past 80 years or so for profit.
it isnt. Carnivore community is a cult.
I didn't either til I tried it! No going back for me feel better at 70 than did in my 40s
It can't be healthy. That's why there are not studies showing such a diet is healthy, only anecdotes on the internet.
You literally can not live without fat and protein. I've been Keto for 5 and half years now. I lost over 130 pounds and feel amazing at 51. I certainly do pray you find what works best for you. Sending prayers and love ❤️
@@loverofsong9830 I hope it works out for her.
There are also plant-based fats available (avocado, olives, beans, nuts).
Love and prayers to you too, Stephanie! I am glad you found something that is working for you.

Thank you for sharing this information, Beth. Early last year I had a lumpectomy due to abnormal cells in one of my breasts. My situation caused me concern that I would have a repeat event. Like you, I threw myself into research which lead me to a WFPB diet, as well. Much of the early info I found was from the same sources you’ve named. I (along with my husband out of support) switched to a WFPB diet. Our cholesterol and blood pressure numbers have improved greatly. It’s an adjustment and learning curve for sure, but am so glad we switched to WFPB. So many great sources for recipes, it just takes an open mind to try new habits in the kitchen.
I am so glad to hear you were doing so well! It is amazing about the plant-based diet. It reverses heart disease, and it is also proven to reduce the risk of cancer. Personally, I believe it can reverse even reverse cancer. I am so glad everything is improving for you.
Hi Beth glad u r doing better. Look forward to more plant base info. Thank u❤
Thank you! Will do!
I thought it was that hole in the heart that caused the stroke. That’s a cause in SO many people
I thought it was the hole in her heart too.
Jewel Pearson, tiny house 🏘️ owner, said she has a hole in her heart and it caused the stroke,
Correlation between the clot shot ---holes in the heart ---strokes. I wish Beth the best.
@@deniseparker1088 well stated
Unfortunately, I had a subsequent test that showed the hole in my heart was too tiny to have really caused the issue. Darn!
I’ll be interested to see how this works out for you and your husband. Those meals you showed would send my blood sugar off the charts and I am only pre-diabetic. You might want to consider wearing a blood glucose monitor or CGM while doing this to see what it does to your blood sugar.
Yes, I will be looking into my blood sugar too.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty That clot took decades to form. Crazy you think a few months of off and on diet would be the culprit. Good luck out there.
Wonder if new sponsors play a role?
My father recently passed. He was a few months over 97. He took no medication ever and no flu shots, etc. He ate everything, carbs, vegetables, meat, eggs, bread, luncheon meats,and he loved ice cream. His health declined rapidly after his body decided not to eat anymore, which was about a month before his passing. Finding the diet that’s best for us is a journey, as we are all different. Personally, I believe balance and moderation is good to follow. I wish you the best as you begin your new journey. And, thank you for sharing your stroke story. I am sure you have helped many.
Well stated. We are all different! Dr. Oz says everyone is not going to be vegetarian or vegan years ago on his TV 📺 sho
Glad your dad did so well. I appreciate you leaving a comment.
My mom just passed Jan 7 at 99 yrs old. Growing up I never remember her ever going to the doctors for anything not even mammograms colonoscopy. She ate everything. She just quit eating also about month before she passed. I don’t know who to believe anymore. 🤦♀️

Hi Beth!! I appreciate all you are trying to share and I would love it if you continued. We are all learning through trial and errors what is best for us so we can all live our best healthy lives. Everyone is different and we can take and choose what resinates best in our individual situations. Blessings!
Well said
Blessings to you too! I appreciate your support.
I'm Keto/Carnivore & I'm not convinced it caused your stroke...but I'm staying tuned to your videos & your journey. I wish you Health and Happiness & I will continue to learn from you and everyone.❤
Well stated
You really should watch the video she's watching! There is medical, scientific PROOF that eating meat and dairy causes most of your ailements.
Yes I'm not convinced either...we only know a small bit of everything she does, food, drink, medications, supplements....did not know she was on HRT....interesting as well....I wish her the best but I'm always leary as I am with any influencer as comments, views and likes generate 💰
@@Erinkenny0722 good morning and thanks for the feedback on her. No HRT for me ever. Suzanne somers did the HRT, plus she had neck surgery from a fall. Stay safe and healthy......... headed to the gym
Thanks so much for your comment. Glad to have you here with me.
my friend was on healthy plant-based got a massive stroke and know cant move i think where is somthing more just diet
Not a real plant based diet and not even remotely possible. I find so many are completely lost when it comes to nutrition and have no clue what a whole food plant based diet is. ALways comparing processed crap with whole foods like beans and potatoes. The protein narrative has people stumped and confused. It is designed this way by one of the top 3 most powerful industries on the planet!
Obviously it wasn’t the meat. She’s was taking something else or vaccine.
Stress can also cause a stroke and a heart attack.
Carnism and denial are synonymous @@rosetulip1231
Do you know how your friends fiber intake was?
Bravo to you Beth! Please keep us posted on your health journey. You are indeed an inspiration and I’m certain that documenting your experience is going to help many others who are open to hearing it. Many blessings to you and your husband!
God bless you too, Patricia! Thanks so much for your very sweet comment.
So happy to hear you’re doing this, Beth! I been so concerned when I’d heard you weren’t stopping Carnivore before! I’m struggling with my LDL going up, myself, and have been trying to cut down saturated fat, as I’m already plant-based. I’m looking forward to hearing more about this new diet of yours!
Thanks so much for your nice comment and good luck on your plant-based Whole Foods journey. This Wednesday, I am posting a video that shows you more in depth information on Dr. Esselen’s program. It’s really very good.
I heard glycine makes it go down fast!
If you’re eating plant based and your cholesterol is going up, could be peri-menopause if you’re in the age group. Doesn’t hurt to research it.
Congratulations on your lifestyle change! I hope it optimizes your health and provides you lifelong protection from future strokes. I went whole-food, plant-based in April 2023, and it really helped with my blood lipids. My total cholesterol is 120; HDL (good) cholesterol is 61; and my LDL (bad) cholesterol is 39. I am not on any medications. My husband reversed type 2 diabetes on this high-carb, low-fat eating plan, and we both lost 25 pounds. I think you are in great hands with Dr. Esselstyn, and I can't wait to hear about your new explorations in better health.
Linda, thanks for sharing that and I am so jealous of all your wonderful health numbers! Great job and kudos to both of you!
I totally disagree with your take on what causes heart disease but I wish you the best. Do what you feel is best.
Thanks.
Same here
Thanks Beth for sharing. Please keep us updated on your progress. God bless.
Thank you, I will
@@FiftyPlusBeauty REMEMBER to listen and watch Dr Ted Broer CEO of Healthmasters podcast about true health. We love their products and healthy lifestyle
I think it’s getting ridiculously hard to know exactly what diet to follow anymore.
Right because the food sold at the market are mostly covered in pesticides and preservatives I think its hard to eat sell fake oraganic food
This is why anecdotal evidence is the lowest source of data and youtube is not the place to make decisions regarding diet and health. That is also why experts exist who study this for their whole life. But people think they are smarter than them by watching youtube. "I watched Dr. Ken Berry" syndrome
I watched vegan gains syndrome
@@dweeder1453 if you collect 50 thousand ppl on carnivore showing what they eat , their bloods, how they feel how is that not data? same goes for vegans youtube videos showing bloods, what they eat... its all data, alot more useful than any other data in my eyes.
@@dweeder1453 So you refer to the USDA food pyramid for you diet choices?
I was clean vegan for at least 5 years. I was never sicker. It’s interesting how each persons body responds to different things. I’m not currently carnivore, but am definitely animal based and have never felt better. IBS under control, less joint pain, no migraines, enjoying a healthy weight and stronger than I’ve ever been. Carbohydrates, even the healthiest ones, are not my friends in the high amounts usually consumed on a plant based diet. I love watching people on different health journeys. It’s fascinating.
@heidicook2739 I'm very confused and I've done so much research! I've been keto/carnivore for almost a year (following Dr.Berry & Dr. Berg)I've lost over 20lbs(at my ideal weight now)and all inflammation. However, at my last checkup, my cholesterol and LDL levels were quite high.
Heart disease runs in my family so a diet of BBB&E concerns me.
Even with the so called "healthy" carbs I'm concerned about weight gain and inflammation returning.
My PA is on keto and she didn't seem overly concerned.Wants to recheck my blood work in 6 mos.
I can relate! I suffered severe enough arthritis to necessity both hips replaced at 49 and 50 years…then in 2017 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Thank goodness my Oncologist immediately recommended all sugars and carbs be removed from my diet due to their link with cancer. I began as Keto then morphed into Ketovore. I had an unexpected and WELCOME side effect: inflammation and miserable body aches and joint pain nearly immediately subsided. Getting out of bed in the morning is no longer a five minute process of trying to slowly straighten my back and shuffle out of my bedroom. The veggies I love so much, when I consume them, send me back into aches and pains and trigger an awful bout of diverticulitis. I miss my roasted Brussels and salads…but they make me miserable. I do eat avocados daily - and sometimes sugar not added pickle chips…but that is all. I feel as healthy as I did at 35 (I’m 58). I think each individual needs to follow what works best for THEM. I had been suspicious of all the meat because of the cholesterol…but my labs are always great!
@@OklahomaRed58 Look further into cholesterol research. The cholesterol levels that most Drs subscribe statins for are now changing. They are finding some higher levels are healthier.
@@dkhasel Good to know 👍
@@OklahomaRed58 While on carnivore, my LDL jumped high. My doc has me on a statin for 180 days till recheck. All of my other blood work is fine. My bp jumped high and I think its b/c of the salt. I was never a saltshaker prior to carnivore so I'm cutting back on that to see if it lowers down. I had a stress test two weeks ago and passed. Heart and arteries are fine. I think once I heal my autoimmune disease, I will slowly add certain veggies. I'm not 100% carnivore. I eat fermented foods like sauerkraut, green pimento stuffed olives and dill pickles. Everyone should get blood work done before and after starting carnivore b/c it will have a bad effect on some of us.
Glad to see that you are feeling well and eating healthy vibrant foods. Speaking strictly for myself, I could not eat such heavy amounts of meat. - it leaves me feeling sluggish and sometimes nauseated. I prefer the texture, color taste and buoyant feeling that the Mediterranean diet provides. Wishing you and Alan a healthy journey!🩵💛
Thanks so much!!!!!
Happy New Year Beth! I am very happy to hear you are on a heart-healthy diet! I went on Carnivore to just " test it out" and I had every bad reaction. I lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks but I got sick. Perhaps younger women can handle it but women our age have to be so careful about their kidneys, heart and other organ failure. I became very frightened on the carnivore diet after I became very light-headed and weak on one side of my body. It wasn't a stroke but I felt terrible...weak. My blood work came back very bad. I am turning 69 and from now on I won't play games with my health. I went on a heart-healthy diet before Christmas and my blood work is good and I feel so much better not being on a meat diet! I have self-control and I don't have to eat one type of food to lose weight... especially meat. I hope your videos on this subject helps many women....xxoo Have a great day! xo Susan & Dez PS: Vegetables I really feel keep cancer away.
Hi little poet! Love your channel! I am glad you are now on a good diet that you feel good on and that is healthy for you. I’m glad your bloodwork has improved so much. Mine did too and I feel much better. God bless you!
@@FiftyPlusBeauty You look fantastic...and I know you are younger than me! I hope you didn't take offense! xo
I love Susan and Dezi too! She has a great channel! Hi Susan!
Thank you for this awesome video, Beth. Cheers to you for researching which diet to embrace for your heart health. I am VERY interested in following your journey on the Esselstyn plan.
Thank you so much sweetie. I will be posting a video this next Wednesday that is specifically about my first zoom presentation with Dr Esselstyn.
This ia wonderful Beth! Thanks so much for sharing with us. I am very interested in your new healthy eating habits. Please continue to share the information. We are all continuing to learn and develop. Bless you!
Bless you too, Susan! Thanks for your very kind words of support. You were just darling by the way! My mother‘s name is Courtney, too!
Thank goodness you are alive and thank you for this video. It scares me that so many people are listening to RUclips gurus and not their own doctors. Thank you for this very important message!
You’re so welcome!!
Yes, please share more. I eat plant based and I am always interested in what others are incorporating. ~Take Care!
You got it!
I'm glad you turned to actual research instead of the RUclips uni. It takes guts to make a 180-degree-turn public and I applaud you for it. You may be saving lives doing this. ❤ My LDL is 70 on a plant-based diet. Best of luck to you!
Hey Beth! Your video is so courageous! I've been following you for years! Such a sweet , kind and well meaning person you are! I'm so sorry that you are struggling with bad information. I too, in the month of August 2023 had a health scare that I thought was a stroke. I spent 3 days in the hospital with multiple tests but after initial MRI's w/ & w/o contrast, carotid Doppler, echocardiogram, MRI of the spine, ECG x 2, and a follow- up MRI W & w/o contrast meeting with 2 neurologists, 2 cardiologists, and it turned out not to be a stroke at all. I did learn during all of those MRI's that I had an old right thalamic infarct from approximately 10 or so years ago ( a silent stroke). I'm 61 years old and I'm pretty good metabolic and vascular health. I've been on the Keto// Keto/ carnivore diet for approx. 5 years. I fast approximately 18 hours a day and have done so for the last 5 years, practice yoga, pilates, HIIT, and walk my dogs each night. Please keep close watch over your fasting insulin, A1C, lipids mostly your HDL to triglycerides ratio, NMR lipid particle size panel, high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, homocysteine. Consider getting a CGM, continuous glucose monitor, so that you can learn which foods cause you insulin to spike throughout the day. Even if you just get one for a month it will give you great insight into what effects you individually from a metabolic standpoint. I have actual printed out studies and brought them to my cardiologist and neurologist so they can see with their own eyes saturated fat and cholesterol are not the enemy we once believed but rather that we are metabolically sick. Unfortunately, dr.s are so busy and overwhelmed and overworked in our current "sick care" system that they have very little time to learn of the studies showing the connection between diabetis/ prediabetic and so so many of the illness including cancers, stroke, heart disease, insulin resistance, and preventative medicine. They, for the past, in my experience, are working from what they were taught from studies that were sponsored by big pharma and big food so clearly these studies show bias findings. I have a list of MD.s that do have actual studies about the carnivore and Keto/carnivore diets and how they help the brain. Stroke/ heart disease, Alzheimers, are just some of the classic metabolic diseases that are addressed by Dr Ken Berry (he follows (he discusses studies frequently) yes but there are so many more experts in this field: Dr Chris Palmer (Director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education at McLean Hospital and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School), Dr Mark Hyman from the Cleveland Clinic (functional medicine), Dr Anthony Chaffee (neurosurgeon),
Dr Eric Westman (functional medicine/ an Associate Professor of Medicine at Duke University, Dr. Pradip Jamnadas, MD, MBBS, FACC, FSCAI, FCCP, FACP The founder and Chief Medical Officer of Cardiovascular Interventions, Orlando FL., Dr. Rob Lustig (Bachelor’s in Science from MIT, a Doctorate in Medicine from Cornell University. Medical College,), Dr. Phillip Ovadia, a practicing heart surgeon, graduated from the accelerated Pre-Med/Med program at the Penn State & Jefferson Medical College & Cardiothoracic Surgery at Tufts- New England Medical School, Dr Bret Scher cardiologist graduated from MAYO CLINIC in 2005. He also is the host of Diet Doctor which is a great source of education, Dr Ford Brewer Founder of PrevMed Heart Attack & Stroke Prevention and formerly trained and later professor at Johns Hopkins. Neither Cholesterol nor are animal sourced healthy fats or plant based fats (other than highly processed seed oils) are not the driver of stroke and heart disease. I'd hate to see you, seeing what you have already been through, head down a path of extremes. I look forward to more and more beauty tips from such a lovely lady, inside and out!
Thanks for all the great information and I am glad you are figuring out the best course. I know that an all plant-based diet sounds extreme, but so is getting worse heart disease, and having stents part bypasses, etc. Thank you so much for your comments again. I appreciate it.
Frugal Prepper also had a stroke on Carnivore recently and has changed his diet. Check out his channel.
@@efsmiley, what a beautiful post and SO informative also. There’s no doubt there are a LOT of very educated people advocating for animal fats. 🎉 Thank you for sharing all of that! ❤ BTW, you are gorgeous!!
Wonderful that you're doing better after that terrible scare. Please tell us more about your new way of eating. Thank you for sharing the links to where we can go to learn more about heart disease. I've been doing Keto for 4 years and I'm starting to wonder if I should get off.
Hi Janice. Everyone has their own path, but for me since I had the stroke, I really had to examine the real research to find out what diet could actually reverse heart disease. I wish the carnivore people would do some research in that area but so far plant-based seems to actually be able to to reverse heart disease, so I had to go with that.
I am so sorry you had that scary and horrible experience. As you point out, everyone is different. My mother had the essentially same stroke, though she never did recover from it. I'm 78 and just started the carnivore diet. I appreciate very much your willingness to share this experience, and I can only hope that the same thing doesn't happen to me - or to anyone else who has come to carnivore for its health benefits. I have heard worse things about plant-based diets than about carnivore, so in the end, it's kind of a crapshoot. I hope that each of us has the courage to see our own best route to health AND to share with others when we think we have made the wrong choice.
Thanks for your comment. I’m so sorry for your mom.
no the EXPERIMENTAL covid shots caused your stroke. Look into this. start wtih Rumble stew peters interviews with Dr Jane Ruby covid shots, whats in the covid shot. also "dr fuellmich grand jury day 1' = shocking vid worth your time.
dont blame your diet. people all over the world have had strokes, heart attacks, major health issues caused by these EXPERIMENTAL covid shots.
dont take flu, rsv or covid etc shots THEY ARE ALL STILL EXPERIMENTAL.
You've never heard of plant based diets causing strokes, CVD, death etc quite the opposite. High plant based diets such as the Mediterranean cause the longest lived populations. The only crapshoot is the carnivore diet
It’s not the carnivore diet that caused her stroke, she has taken vaccines she needs to do her research.. look up Dr Shawn Baker he has been carnivore for 5 or 6 years… he is a true Dr …❤
I tried keto for the longest time. Never had any success. I just went on a whole food plant-based diet today. I took a picture of my first 50/50 plate. Boil potatoes& broccoli with a non cheese cheese sauce. I follow Plantiful Kiki and many other vegans online. There's great recipes. I'm so happy to be able to eat. Carbs again, fruit. This is the way God created us in the garden.❤
Plantiful Kiki is awesome! love he!
Thanks for sharing!!
I tried keto too, like five times. Finally went full carnivore, also One Meal A Day (OMAD) - and all calories consumed before noon, or earlier if possible. I figured out that I'm _SO_ insulin resistant and so forth that I had to get super strict. I'm dropping .75 - 1.5 lbs a day now, I feel great, and I don't plan to be this strict forever, but I've done everything except actual vegan (majorly unhealthy for humans) and never got past the initial 15 lbs of water weight loss. I'm down 25 lbs in 27 days and expect that within the next week or so my weight loss number will be larger than my days on the diet number.
If the plant-based doesn't work for you, try what I'm doing for a month: literally "BBB&E." I've tailored the amounts of each to fit my caloric and macro needs. My one deviation is a protein shake (no milk) with it, so I have protein grams equal to my ideal body weight in pounds. And after 4 weeks of basically those for items for my meal, I'm going nuts tomorrow: A 10-oz chicken breast and half of a double batch (24) of egg salad I made with avocado to take the place of most of the mayo. It will be lower fat but I won't even need the shake for protein. Slight carnivore cheat, still WAY below the 20g of carbs keto allows, rewards my last boring 4 weeks and I'll be back to it the day after.
I've come to this realization: you will have to put up with some discomfort and boredom to reshape your body. It didn't get out of hand overnight - and it does *not* want to do anything but get fat. What I discovered was that even 20g carbs was still enough for my body to be able to avoid changing back from obese to properly healthy, like I was a decade ago. Oh yeah, the same food gets boring, but "food as a treat" probably ought to be just that - a treat, at least while you're performing major renovation and repair.
Super Glad you are still here with us. Love ur videos😊❤❤
You're the best!
Beth, thank you so much for the video. I appreciate every time that you share your own personal health journey. I tried to follow a low fat WFPB diet for 10 years, on & off, often off. My biggest struggle was the food. It usually tasted unpalatable to me. You spur me on to look back over my recipes and see if I can’t find some that I really enjoy. Yes, I definitely look forward to hearing about Dr E’s course, thank you.
@@Melody, Dr. Fuhrman has amazing recipes-especially salad dressings. I used to make a walnut based salad dressing-sooo good!!
The Rouxbe Plant Based Cooking Class has amazing recipes also. And there are so many great WFPB cooking books. Soooo many fun things to make.
I miss some of it now that I’m mostly carnivore, but I also love how simple my meals are now!
Thank you so much Melody. At first, the Whole Foods plant-based approach is rather difficult because it does taste a bit bland. If you stick with it though after a month or so, you will find that your taste buds really do change. I truly enjoy the foods. I am eating now. Rice and beans, a whole lot of vegetables and salsa is a really good easy dinner.
Heathveganeat have good recipes to
I’m so glad you are off the carnivore diet. I was very worried about you but felt I shouldn’t interfere with advice. I was praying so God would direct your path and He obviously did.
God directed my path away from WFPB after many years. After the flood, God gave us meat to eat, and he brought the Israelites to a land of _milk_ and honey. I’m now mostly carnivore and am slowly seeing improvements. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, Cindy. I truly think God allowed me to survive the stroke so I could share this information with others. The carnivore diet is really very dangerous. You’re one smart cookie!
@@FiftyPlusBeauty Beth, it is 4/8/24 and I must tell you, you’ve been on my mind for SO long as I haven’t seen any recent videos of you. I included you in my daily prayers for the past month. Wish I knew how to private message you but this will have to do. Rest, don’t be anxious, and know God is with you.
I would be curious to hear how the whole food based diet affects your IBS. I'm so happy you recovered so well. I totally understand your research foe better health. ❤
My IBS is not quite as good as it was on the carnivore diet, but it is improving. It tends to remove anything that could give your G.I. system a problem.
Beth, Thanks for the info. Love your share. Yes, I would love to hear about your experience after Friday. I was introduced to macrobiotic diet in the late eighties. Was the best I ever felt(felt like Wonder Woman) unfortunately lost touch with that community due to relocation. Keep up the good work and research.
Wonderful!
So happy you have found the WFPB diet!! I've been eating that way for 14 years and am 64 years old and absolutely LOVE it! Love all the plant-based docs! The research doesn't lie!! Plants for the win!! :)
That is awesome! I totally agree with you!
I am also on WFPB No oil, no dairy, no eggs, etc. of any kind except for avocados, walnuts and real olives, not the oil. Our main meals are vegetable soup, mushroom and onion tacos, eggplant in tomato sauce, sweet potato and red lentil stew, boiled potatoes, beans and rice, big salads. I finely chop broccoli and cauliflower and eat as a salad. My salad dressing is the 321 dressing which is 3 tablespoons of ACV, 2 Tablespoons of Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. I would LOVE to see what happens at the conference. I have benefited SO much from this diet but we do break the diet when we travel or when we have guest over. The great majority of the time we follow it. So happy for you. ❤😊
Awesome news!! Thanks for the great salad dressing and salad. If you would like to email me your pic, I’ll credit you in the video. My email is empowerbeth@gmail.com. Please mention the salad and the dressing recipes so I can put together.
God bless you for all that you share with us here on your channel. You were doing everything your thought was healthy/right, and still had a stroke. As upsetting as that is, it's important for all of us to know. My instincts tell me that a protein-only diet isn't the way to go. First, I'd miss the color on my plate and my tastebuds, but more importantly, 'everything in moderation' seems to always hold true, especially when it comes to our way of eating. I've done significant studying on healthy lifestyles, longevity, etc, and I would caution you to not go too far on the plant-based/low fat approach either. There are two risks with that approach: 1. The body needs the full range of amino acids, and plants-only don't provide all 9 essential amino acids; 2. The body needs cholesterol, especially the brain. It is critical to many functions, especially in older adults. Moderation is the answer - some meat, lots of veggies, and healthy fats, lots of exercise, manage your stress and find joy in every moment you can. Best of luck on your health journey!
Very well stated!
So true. Especially anyone over 55 on a veg/vegan diet is at risk - our bodies' ability to absorb protein is diminished significantly, which impacts our muscles, joints, skin, hair, etc. It always amazes me how truly wise people from 'back in the day' were - eating iwell-balanced meals n moderation, taking walks after meals, the list goes on - and no Google, no YT. How did they know??? By listening to their bodies, it seems.@@shirlebryant9427
You are full of misinformation. Beth discussed about a year ago with Dr. Berry how her in- laws always ate everything in moderation and ended up with many diseases and so many meds that they didn’t know the names of them. She and Dr. Berry discussed at the time that was not the way to go. There are so many people that have lost weight and improved their overall health on Carnivore and keto including reversing cancer!! So many!
Thanks for your great comments. I appreciate you sharing.
Hi Diana. You were so right about that. The more I learned the more I realize moderation is really not the key. The key is avoiding those heart unhealthy foods, like meat and dairy which are proven to cause heart disease.
Thank you Beth for your honesty ! Many people would not talk about how they built something up only to find out it was not the right thing to do for them, and changed their ways ! I prefer to listen to you because you really did your research ! I have also done my own research and agree with a plant based diet as well. I would LOVE it if you shared what your meals are like ie: Breakfast, lunch and dinner ! Cheers and thank you again for all your information !
You are so welcome! Yes, I will be making a wet. I eat in a day video soon!
This was excellent thank you, Beth I needed to hear this. I look forward to all of your future videos, telling us what you’re doing.
You are so welcome!
It sounds like you enjoy doing research, so I would highly suggest that you study the difference between correlation and causation. I understand how much you were affected by your stroke, but you seem to be jumping to a lot of unwarranted conclusions, as are some of the "experts" you're relying on. I'm not advocating for any particular diet and I empathize with the difficulties in trying to ascertain which one is the healthiest for you, but it's hard to see you swinging from one extreme to another. I do wish you the best of luck with your health.
👏👏👏 👍!
That’s what I thought to initially until I really looked into the research. There is overwhelming research on the benefits of a Whole Foods plant-based diet. The carnivore diet is super high in saturated fat and causes cholesterol levels to increase. The Framingham heart study covered about 20,000 people over three generations. It found that no one with a cholesterol under 150 and an LDL under 80 had a heart attack. No one.
Greetings Beth! Yes, please document your progress and what you are doing to stay healthy. I'm happy that you will be able to take the course! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Thanks Jean!!
Hey Beth, i just re-subscribed to your channel to follow your journey. Like alot of folks it is so confusing on how and what to eat anymore to be healthy. After watching this i think I'm going to incorporate more plant based foods in my diet. I must applaud you for having the courage to put yourself out there upon changing to a new way of eating because people can be brutal in the comments. Thank you for being open and honest with us because i know your only motivation is to help infotm us and not to sell a book or program. I truly appreciate that as i too, am concerned about heart disease. Cannot wait to learn more and follow your experience. God bless you my friend.
God bless you too, Melissa! I really appreciate you watching my video. Have a great day!
I appreciate that you share in detail why your diet views have changed and it is truly good food for thought! I have high cholesterol and I've been torn about carnivore diets that I've seen so many have success with. The idea didn't seem right to me, but I couldn't argue the results others were getting. Please keep us posted with new meal ideas and how your journey continues : )
Thanks for sharing!! I will keep sharing. Since I went plant based three months ago my high cholesterol and blood pressure have both resolved leaving me on no medications except a baby aspirin from the stroke.
Hi Beth.. I'd appreciate it a lot if you shared more about what you're doing to stay healthy. I've been searching for Mediterranean recipes to make in my crock pot because it is supposed to be a healthy way of eating. But I haven't done much research on it. It is good to see you doing well. 💖
Thank you so much, Debbie. The Mediterranean diet is proven to be healthier than the SAD diet because it is lower meat.
Look up videos with Sally Norton, and you’ll never eat another vegetable again. Fruits, I believe are healthy with lots of nutrition, and not nearly as many plant defenses like oxalates and lectins, etc. I was constantly in and out of the hospital with kidney stones when I was a vegetarian, and then a vegan. it was directly caused by the high amounts of spinach and kale and my joints were hurting so bad I could barely walk not to mention I was obese. Once I stopped eating plants and went carnivore I lost almost 70 pounds and was able to get off all my medication, and that’s because I stopped eating the foods that were causing my body to be inflamed and the plant food in my opinion is so bad for the human digestive system.
The problem is that you have medical doctors on BOTH sides of the issue saying very different things. They all cite studies to back up their claims. I believe the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
Well no. The medical doctors that are proponents of carnivore or keto do NOT have long term data on humans. Only short term (12 months). Thats not the same as decades of data (adventist study) on human health outcomes. There is a difference between studies and studies.
@@lindarkruse9301 correct, the people the carnivore community promotes people like the maasai and inuit and they have poor health/heart disease and they never mentioned that in there videos! I lost 100 lbs on carnivore but it doesn't mean its the right thing. Eating only meat cant be good long term.
At least you are open to possibilities. I appreciate all you’ve shared on your health journey.
I would hope that you will share what you are learning and applying to your health. Thank you and I am so happy you are ok after the stroke.❤
Thank you so much Pamela. I really appreciate your kind words of support.
You mentioned your severe IBS in past videos and how carnivore cured it. Plant-based diets can be bad for people who suffer from IBS. I was plant-based for years and my IBS continued to get worse. As soon as I stopped all the veggies and fruits and started consuming more protein and animal foods, it improved greatly. I will be interested to hear if your IBS returns.
plant based is how you cure IBS, carnivore is only a way to manage it. You just need the right nutrients and probiotics.
Some people do react to certain vegetables or fruits like FODMAPs, elimination diet doesn't mean it was the vegetables causing your IBS. It means you are reacting to something specific, probably dairy is the worst offender.
My husband had IBS. We switched to plantbased and it wasn’t easy for him but…after a year and a half of this change he has healed. Veggies are like a workout. They are hard at first but keep working up and you will get stronger and stronger.
There are numerous reports on PB diets completely reversing IBS symptoms and many more finally making IBS symptoms manageable for people Suffering for decades while consuming animals. Veggies and fruits are very large umbrella terms. Each person's body can have positive or adverse reactions to specific vegetables and fruits, and once you identify those and exclude those, perhaps replacing them with other wholesome vegetables or fruits that would not react the same way, you'll be set
So an elimination diet worked for you great to hear that.
Did you have the C19 vaccine? If so maybe you should do your own research as well,
I would like to know this as well. You’ve been asked this a few times & never saw a response.
She never has answered this and probably won't so it makes me wonder how reputable this channel is...
Yes, I agree. She should disclose it if she had this because it’s an important part of the story that could definitely impact how this video affects others. It’s safe to say that most people have heard what happens after the you know what. As opposed to most people Being very successful on carnivore
Everybody has an agenda. Follow the money.
Agreed. Answer the question.
Congratulations Beth. I have been on a whole food plant based diet for at least 5 years. Also following the advice of the Dr.s you mentioned and several others. I believe you and your husband are on the right track . I wish you good health and well-being. You are doing much to help spread the good news about food and diet. Thank you!
Thanks so much Robin and congratulations. I really think you were on the healthiest path!
Look forward to hearing about your in depth Esselston course and hope you will continue to include sample diet details.
Have been looking into vegan recipes for our typical winter diet. A cabbage roll with quinoa and lentils sounds interesting. Will need to start w mini recipes!!
Great suggestion!
Dr. Esselstyn is the best! I am so happy you are going plant based. Your health will greatly improve. I am 57, and I have eaten this way for several years. You will love it!
Thanks for sharing that a plant-based diet is working for you. I appreciate that!
I’m so glad you kept doing your homework Beth, you are so smart and honestly I can’t say enough how amazed I am at how unselfish you and your husband are to have filmed your whole experience. You are correct, this will benefit lots of people!
Thank you so much! You are very kind.
Hmmmmmm....think that one through.
Great video. Very happy you are better and changed your diet. I never considered a carnivore diet, and I have watched a few of the carnivore RUclips videos the past couple of weeks. I noticed many people writing that they felt great, but not one of them mentioned food that could help prevent clogged arteries, cancer, a stroke, etc. Just because people feel great doesn't mean the inside of your body is doing well. Vegetables fight against cancers and help prevent strokes. Sugar and processed food also kills.
Excellent comment!
Yes, please share you results and your lab comparisons. I continue to eat Mediterranean with good results but am always open to learning what other ladies eat to maintain/improve health. Thanks for all the great information you offer in your videos.
Thanks so much Barbara. I really appreciate that.
Its never too late. May you have a long life and that too a happy one . Plants have given us so much and they just keep giving!
A few months back I ended up in the ER with stroke-level high blood pressure and just generally not feeling well -- all after several months of eating primarily carnivore. It scared me so badly that I committed to a primarily whole food plant-based diet after that and everything has since returned to normal. I will say that I do still eat seafood about once per week or so (usually a healthy cut of fish) and my body seems to respond really well to eating this way. I find it's sustainable, healthy and satiating. I look forward to hearing more about your journey as you move toward a heart-healthy WFPBD!
Thank you so much for sharing that and I am so glad everything turned out well.
I think you should be on the diet that makes you feel your best, regardless of what other people say about it. But I also think you should know that it's impossible that a diet you were on for a couple of years, let alone a few months, causes a stroke. None of us are genetically identical, of course, so you should adapt your diet according to how you feel on it. Seafood seems to be the healthiest type of food there is, save for some heavy metal risk in certain types of it. It can also provide the zinc that you won't get on a pure vegan diet.
That's a relief. The carnivore diet is too extreme to be healthy, so I'm glad you have changed. But I'm wondering - how is your IBS on the whole foods diet? That was a driving factor towards carnivore, I remember. The pizza looked delish! Thanks for the information. Very helpful, and we're looking forward to hearing more about it.
Hi Cynthia . Always great to hear from you! Yes, the carnivore diet did help me in terms of my IBS and I will be making a video soon on exactly why the carnivore diet does benefit the G.I. tract in that way. I was very surprised by the reason. My IBS is not as bad as it used to be before carnivore, but it is still an issue. I will explain everything in that video.
I am so excited to see your journey because that is what I do. I love your beauty segments.
Thank you so much!
So good to see that you are getting help to reverse your stroke risk through a low fat WFPB diet. Heard about your story from Mic the Vegan :) I wish you a great recovery and would love to see a follow up showing your results after the new diet.
I'm looking forward to seeing all your follow-up videos on your plant based diet and what you find out on Friday. It's amazing how much food can affect our health, both good and bad.
Thanks for your nice comment Nancy. Have a great week!
I've been whole foods plant based for 30+ years now with a brief foray into meat based Keto a few years ago, which worked at first but then didn't, and this year I'm back working towards a full WFPB diet ... I feel amazing and I'm already dropping some weight. Kudos to you for continuing your research and doing a deeper dive! I'm so happy for you that you have found WFPB as a way to build your health back!! There really are MASSIVE amounts of studies, books, research, stats, evidence and prominent WFPB experts that explain the health benefits of WFPB and you will really enjoy it as you discover all the supportive science that is out there to inspire, not to mention the benefits for the environment and for the animals as well. Enjoy your journey and I look forward to hearing how it goes for you!
May I ask (I am not American), when you and Beth say "whole foods plant based", do you then mean vegetarian and no meat or fish at all?
@anniezion
Whole Food Plant Based means no animal products at all. The whole food part is eliminating or using very little processed foods such as oil. You get fats from the whole food such nuts and avocados and not oil which is taken out of a plant. I learned you can water sauté and oil isn’t necessary as I always thought it was. It’s a great way to eat once you get a bit of education on how to prepare food in a different manner than you likely grew up with. It took some time to find my way but I’m so glad I did.
@@gretaeberhardt541 Thanks for yr reply. I was wondering why they do not use the term vegetarian then. How do you get enough protein on this? I used to be a low fat eater, back in the days, no oils or butter in pan and ate mostly greens and rarely meat, but sometimes fish. I wasn't well though, underweight and a hurting body. Now I am on low carb, with more fats, and some things improved (the underweight and not being totally dry in skin) but now instead lower stamina from the lack of carbs.. I guess we have to find our ways of what works for ourselves. I personally have come to the conclusion cutting out something totally isn't the most optimal way (at least on me)but moderation and common sense. We do need fats (the brain) and yes coming from greens and nuts is a really good thing, but the amount needed, can it be covered only from those sources? Anyway, Thanks again for yr reply.🌸
Thanks for your great comment and you were so right! The evidence is really overwhelming and supports the idea that WFPB actually reverses heart disease.
Yes, we mean no meat products at all and also no dairy, no cheese, no milk, no ice cream, etc. We also mean to try to avoid processed foods. That’s why they use the term Whole Food plant-based diet.
I think it’s fantastic you’re taking your health into your own hands and sharing your experience. I’m low carb. I’ve heard stories about damage to kidneys and i’ll be honest it does worry me. I just feel so great. I could never do carnivore though because no one can convince me all meat is good and nothing else. There’s always a diet fad and weeding them out is so tricky. Anyway please keep sharing and I’m glad you’re okay ❤.
Thank you for sharing. I would love to know more about your journey and I hope you continue to share.
Thank you! Will do!
I was a strict vegan for years and I had many health issues, I have been mostly carnivore for about 6 months. I feel better especially IBS and joint pain. I would prefer plant based for environmental reasons but I feel better. It's complicated. How is your IBS now? Thanks.
💭💭 I’m curious too how her IBS is at this point
💭💭 regarding IBS joint pain that’s a lot of SYMPTOMS a lot of women get when they hit perimenopause/menopause YEARS it SERIOUSLY sucks
💭💭 I’m in perimenopause and the many SYMPTOMS are BEYOND terrible
💭💭 I think 💭 I have IBS too it’s terrible
💭💭 I’ve watched woman I follow on here they started that meat diet and it has helped many of there menopause SYMPTOMS go away
💭💭 I’m interested in BETHS process through all this it’s SERIOUSLY scary what SHE experienced
💭💭 sounds like you’re feeling better since switching to what YOU eat NO IBS NO joint pain 🤍
You can’t get enough protein on a vegan diet 🤦🏻♀️
@@katherinefitcoachEventually, osteoporosis, thinning hair, joint pain surface on WFPB diet!,
My IBS isn’t perfect, but it is not as bad as it used to be prior to carnivore. It is getting better all the time which is just great. I will make a video about the reasons why IBS is so much better on carnivore. I was pretty surprised.
I have been learning that too much protein is actually not good for us. You might check out the research of dr. Garth Davis.
Hi Beth. In a previous video you said the doctors found a “hole” in your heart that likely contributed to the stroke. The birth defect is either a patent ductus or septal defect. This is a known higher risk for stroke, though usually unknown until the stroke occurs. My friend had the same presentation as you did, was diagnosed with adult PDA and will be on anticoagulants for life. Your choice of diet is your own, but my opinion is the defect had a greater role than diet.
I feel the greatest impact of your experience is your supreme efforts to educate regarding signs of stroke. No telling how many people will be saved by your contribution.
Respectfully, Robin
Hi Robin. Initially, they did think that I had a hole in my heart. However, they did a more in-depth test and found out the whole was way too tiny to cause any problems at all. Darn!
@@FiftyPlusBeauty Well, that is a blessing. Hopefully you don’t have to be on anticoagulants.
Thank you for your frankness, and for keeping us updated. May God let you remain in excellent health!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your nice comment.
Thank you! You need to stick to what works best for you. Clearly you research things thoroughly. I’m Ketovore at the recommendation of my Oncologist. He keeps close tabs on my lab tests and they are far better than they were in the past. I think each individuals body reacts differently to the things they eat and they need to listen to those “triggers” and do what is best for them. You are lovely and amazing at how quickly you have bounced back from the stroke. Thank you for all you do!
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Beth, just curious. Have you been COVID vaccinated and boosted? Most recent booster?
Maybe two years ago I had my last Covid vaccine and booster shot. There is no research that the vaccine causes blood clots. There is research however that having Covid can increase with they call micro clots. I did have Covid, so maybe that had something to do with the stroke.
@@FiftyPlusBeautyit's not up to you to decide if the jab have anything to it or not.
@@richardcardinale7152 stop being a clown. You have no idea what you are talking about. Go get educated rather than telling her what she went through and what could have caused it. You clearly have no scientific background.
@@dweeder1453 haha ,cherry picked science is your kungfu and your religion. I'm too smart for your science.
It is called the clot shot for a reason. It is my opinion your quick and outstanding recovery was due to improved health from eating carnivore. Two ESSENTIAL nutrients for humans to thrive are fatty acids and protein,both found in the animal kingdom preferably ruminants .
So glad you are feeling good! I’ve been plant based for over a decade and love it. Thank you for sharing this important information on eating a plant based diet and the health benefits. Look forward to your videos sharing your journey. ❤❤
Congratulations Rosa! You’re a smart woman.
I’m WFPB too! I feel great and all my health markers are healthy! Plus I feel my running has greatly improved (I run half marathons) I’m excited to see your journey! ❤ also make sure you consume enough calories! Everything is low calorie dense and most people fail because they don’t realize they’re under eating. I use Cronometer app and input my recipes to get calorie/nutrition information. Also allow time for your body to adjust to eating fiber :) congrats on experiencing a new lifestyle!! You’ll love it!
Great comments!! I will check out that app for sure! You are so right about making sure you have enough calories.💝
Thank goodness you got off the high saturated fat diet! I was worried you would have another stroke. I wish you the best of health in your journey. Fruits and veggies for the win! ❤
Thanks so much for your very nice comment, Nancy! I really appreciate that!
I am so happy you decided to make that change! I have been managing multiple sclerosis with a whole foods plant based diet since 2014 and have been stable ever since. As opposed to many relapses before on a standard Dutch diet (slightly better than the SAD) and with medication! If you need tips, tricks or recipes, please ask ♥️
I have been a vegetarian my whole adult life, but after a eliminating dairy and cutting back on fats I was able to go off of thyroid medication after almost a decade on it. That was five years ago. No more IBS or joint pain since the change either. I am in my late 50s and I feel better than I did in my 30s and 40s.
Awesome.... Been vegan over 15 years and I am so happy and disease free!!
if you took the clot shot it is not the food all pharma products are rat poison
Try a carnivore diet for just 1 month and compare how you feel to a SAD diet. In one month you ought to notice some difference if it's really clean, like a LION diet, with your MS. I hope so. For MS you need lots of saturated fat since that is our nerves covering. Like a wire's insulation that won't function when that insulation is breaking and crumbling. The best to you and sending you healing vibes. 💓I want to also include, omit all vegetable oils no matter what else you decide to do.They are toxic from the production they go through.
@@Gesundheit888 unfortunately this is exactly what people with MS do not need! Research has proven a long time ago and repeatedly that a low fat diet is the best for MS. If you had read my comment you would have seen that my low fat whole foods plant based diet is working perfectly!
I am so happy for you.... I have been on a whole food plant based diet since over 23 years now ... I don't even have a single health condition, and absolutely ZERO Body Inflammation, at the same time I very strong and have tones of energy....I feel Fantastic and I will NEVER go back! I eat tones of fruits! my diet is mostly carbs 80%!..... and 10% fat 10% protein. and I eat a lot! 😋😁
Hey Kita! I love your vegan story video!
I just gone vegan last year in April and I fixed so many health problems, I feel amazing now and lost 45lb!!!
@@NuclearNympho Thank you so much!
@@Whatever-rh8zf Fantastic!!!
Could you please share what you eat for fat and protein? Thanks :)
Thank you.
I'm an internist/geriatrician and I watched with dismay shortly after your stroke when you announced that you were sticking with the carnivore diet. Thank you for continuing to learn more. Thank you for the video here explaining your new changes. I wish you good health and happiness.
I don't think there is explanation needed for "my fat intake is higher than they'd like." You've made a giant change in your eating style; it takes time to learn new ways of doing things. I think you will be able to bring your fat consumption down over time as you figure out changes to your menus. I hope the Esselstyn course helps you achieve all your new goals!
Thank you so much for your very kind comments. Yes, I seem to be learning as I go here. Some thing about a stroke is very motivating. I have to admit. I really do appreciate all of your kind words of support. Take care and many blessings to you.
Beth, thank you so much for addressing this topic. I've had books by Dr. Dean Ornish for many years. I bought his books for my Mom, who had a history of heart issues. with her first heart attack and bypass in 1991. I tried to nudge her away from a meat based diet to plant based, but she was stubborn, Back in 2014, my Mother had open heart surgery and I took her copy Dr. Ornish's book 'Reversing Heart Disease" to the hospital, and told her I wish she would have actually read it! Her cardiologist came into her hospital room and saw the book laying on the table and said to us " this is very good". Going plant based is not only healthier physically, but ethically for the sake of cruelty - horrid conditions of that animals suffer before ending up on a dinner plate. I wish you continued good health.
Thanks for sharing that and I’m so sorry your mother was not able to make the change. You are right about everything you shared.
I have been vegan for five years now and it's been great for my health and energy levels. I was seriously worried about you when you were eating all that meat. Welcome aboard!
Thank you so much. I am very glad to be here!
I’m so glad you’re doing this
Me too, Annette. Thanks for your comment.
It often takes something dramatic in our lives to make a change. My cholesterol (as well as inflammatory markers) had gotten so high on a high saturated fat, low carb keto way of eating, my doctor was extremely alarmed and warned me where I was heading...and it wasn't good. After slowly making small changes in my food choices, nothing changed dramatically until I went whole food plant based oil free and my cholesterol went down close to 100 points. My doctor is no longer worried and my digestion and gut is so much better as well. I love Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn who is highly regarded in the field. I also enjoy watching his wife and daughters cooking videos as well as Chef AJ and Plantiful Kiki. We are all different and have different genetics but this has worked for me. I so much appreciate your video. You have helped tremendously.
So happy 🙏to hear that you are on a safer❤eating plan .
Me too!
Hi Beth, I'll continue to listen/watch your videos on this topic and look forward to research findings that is presented. It is important to know who or what group FUNDS a research study, which can make a difference on the outcome, IMO. Your comments don't convince me that carnivore way of eating causes heart disease or stroke, but I will gladly listen to all that you present and I will do my best to keep an open mind. Yes, please share your comments after the upcoming course/program. You are always encouraging and I wish you much success on your new plan.
Yes, exactly.... always follow the money.
It's not just a matter of the funding but how the research is conducted, like studies for example where they compare food to unhealthier items to make their food look good.
Thanks so much. I really appreciate everything you shared.
My co worker in his 40s "healthy " diet had stroke a year or so after 💉 the maintenance man also had a blood clot in his leg standard diet also 💉🤷♀️
My 40 years old niece triple vaccinated still in a wheelchair. Let’s don’t forget all the youth dying 💉 the saddest part you can’t even trust many doctors… they will stand with experimental 💉.
True. SAD is very high meat and Americans have some of the highest rates of heart disease in the world.
I definitely believe that is what happened to her. She has the look that they all have who got it. The propaganda and the brainwashing though has been immense so she likely will believe it’s carnivore even though prior to the technology of refrigeration humans a predominantly meat. They hunted and ate meat and sometimes went days without being able to eat and in cooler climates where vegetables were not available people ate meat and look how healthy our ancestors were eating bacon and eggs and milk fresh off the farm. Prior to the food pyramid being created and the falsity associated with it, there was almost 0 obesity prior to the pyramid. Yet look at the surge since the food pyramid was implemented. Look how obesity crept in five years after the first food pyramid. There is a huge paper trail of proof to support all of this. It is not the meat, but rather the high consumption of sugar and cookies and ice cream and soda drinks and high carbohydrates found in fruit juices and chips like Doritos and pastas and let’s not forget alcohol consumption that are creating these issues, not the meat.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty nice cope 😂
Yup
Thank you for sharing this with us. I want to follow along with you as I always worry about heart disease.
Thanks!
you are sooo super lucky you had a ischemic stroke! You made a good change in diet, I am omnivore but I have never been convinced that carnivore diet is a heart healthy choice. I'm so glad you reached out to Dr. Esseltyn to do whole food plant based diet. Forks over knives is a documentary with a bias but if it helps you to change, than all the better!
I’m very interested in hearing about your meeting with Dr. Dean Ornish. I am approaching 70 and have 5 stents. I grew up on red meat as my father was a cattle dealer. My son would like my husband and I to be vegetarians but my husband didn’t grow up eating vegetables. It’s very difficult to satisfy everyone’s taste but for my own health, I would like to incorporate more vegetables and less meat in my diet. Bravo for leading the charge, looking forward to the video. 🥰
Dean Ornish is still around and with so much disinformation?
Thanks so much. Congrats on incorporating more plants. It’s very difficult unless there is buyin from everyone.
Carnivore can be healthy but you can't eat Mc Donald's thinking it's ok. Clean eating is important
McDonald’s quarter pounder meat is fresh and not that bad it’s ground beef nothing wrong with it to consume
McDonald’s hamburger is 100% beef with no fillers. It really is good quality, for beef.
True!
Exactly something doesn’t make sense here
@@FiftyPlusBeautyno it’s not wtf 😂
Well, I'm glad you're finally listening to science and not pseudo influencers on youtube! When you first had your stroke, I told you in the comments section about how bad that diet was but you wouldn't listen. Also, you said that doctors told you your stroke was the result of the hours of traveling you had done at that time and you were not wearing compression socks and got a blood clot. You said they told you it traveled up through your body, though a hole in your heart and then went up to your brain. You also said the carnivore diet had nothing to do with your stroke. Do you remember saying that in your video after your stroke? I do. I think you even said how important it is to wear compression socks when traveling over a certain amount of hours and gave links to some compression socks you recommended. I've followed Dr. Esselstyn and Dr. Ornish for decades. You might want to follow Dr. Esselstyn's wife and daughter, who have a whole food plant based channel called "Plant Based With Jane Esselstyn and Ann Esselstyn". I'm also a fan of "Heavenly Fan" youtube channel, who is a Keto/low carb Vegan with really good recipes.
Love this video and would love to see more like this and after your program with Dr. Esselstyn, he is very knowledgeable! Thank you so much for being so open and sharing what you are learning! There are so many opinions, please don’t get discouraged as some of us are very interested!! Thanks and God bless sweet friend!🙏🌹
Glad you enjoyed it! I really appreciate your very kind comments. God bless you too!
After my TIA in June my cardiologist suggested the Mediterranean Diet in September. I have lost 10 lbs & I feel great. I haven’t craved sugar, cut out most carbs & red meat. I love Greek foods which suites me fine .
So far my test results are positive.
My Doctor said the best diet is the Mediterranean/ Dash
@@marieleemcgill5011 yes i agree i am italian its my diet a little bit of everything variety is key and plenty of fruit and veg legumes fish and less meat.😃
Awesome!
Wonderful!
There is not a mediterranean diet. What is a mediterranean diet?, a spanish diet, argelian diet, egyptian diet?. The "mediterranean diet" is an invention.
Good luck with your diet changes. Everyone is so bio-individual that one size definitely does not fit all. For me, I tend to shy away from the extreme ends of the scale (strictly carnivore or strictly vegan), but I do try to eat plant forward, minimizing processed foods (there are plenty of vegan foods that are unhealthy because they are also processed). The reason I still eat some meat (primarily low fat chicken, turkey, and seafood) is bc I cannot get enough protein eating only plants. While it's possible for some people to do so, for me, it is not. The sheer volume of plant food that I would need to consume to get adequate protein is simply too much for me, so I only eat enough meat to fill the protein gaps. Pls add 'protein needs for menopausal women' to your list of things to research so you don't end up trading one problem for another down the line. All the best.
Hi Barbara. Thank you for your comment and I totally agree with your thinking you need a great deal of protein as I felt that way too for pretty much my whole life. I was a bit confused by that belief due to Colin Caldwell’s excellent research that a higher protein diet actually increases the rates for cancer. I am actually listening to a great audiobook called Proteinahaulic by Dr Garth Davis he discusses the evidence that shows Americans eat way too much protein. He believes the most we women need is what the FDA guidelines are at 46 g of protein for women. He even believes that is a bit on the high side. I will be studying that issue more and presenting a video about it as soon as I get everything straight.
I watched your video just after your stroke, I was sad you were going back to carnivore eating. Just tuning in and I'm so excited to find out you're wrpb with Dr E. He knows his stuff. Keep us posted.
I will do that for sure!
Yes Beth, I'm very interested in your sharinv your WHOLEFOOD PLANT BASED DIET experience!!! I also am following the Diet to cure my Autoimmune Diseases. Thank you for sharing your knowledge as you learn!!!!😊
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing!!
I ate a varied, home cooked, whole foods plant based diet for 6 years. I felt fine for a few months but by the end I was so very sick - anaemic, deficient in vitamin A, hypothyroid, MS became very aggressive, hormones were chaotic, constant infections.... Do be careful.
JUST SHARING, remember to watch John, okraw, who interviews his friend, David who had a STROKE on a raw vegan diet, sep24, 2015. LONG TERM RAW VEGHAS A STROKE: WHY a raw diet may not be Healthy . We watched the video twice and shared it years ago. David was a raw vegan for 16 years! Boom and boom
Excellent and thanks for re sharing this timely video 🎉
High LDL is oftentimes genetic. Diet and exercise will not fix this-only statins, PCSK9 inhibitors and other cholesterol lowering drugs will get LDL to safe numbers (lower than 40 in most cases). LDL over 100, which is considered normal, causes ASCVD.
Lectins present in plants can also be a contributing factor as they agglutinate red blood cells. Which Eat Right 4 Your Type covers.
Many raw vegans or even vegans and those following carnivore in general don't understand we have to eat to our biochemical individuality, and launch into it head first thinking everything will be fine just because they saw someone else on the internet doing it and was fine. Then yes, problems like these can and will still develop.
Thank you for sharing your story!!! Please keep sharing!! 😊
Will do!!
❤Of course getting saturated fats down is important. I'm GLAD for your videos AND that you recovered. So, if the canary in a coal mine is singing, I say sing on.🐤❤
Thank you so much! Very cute comment! I will keep on singing
How about a friend of mine who eats whole foods plant-based diet since childhood? She had a stroke but survived still taking her hypertension pills, etc.
No diet 100% protect us from any disease unfortunately. Excellent point.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty I am trying now to convince her to eat meat because she looks fragile, weak. She is anemic, forever allergies and now showing signs of osteoporosis though she's just 60+ years old. But she wont eat any meat except egg and fish.
@@FiftyPlusBeautyexactly , your plant based low fat whole food will not add any more protection for you.
@@richardcardinale7152 neither does the carnivore diet as there is no scientific evidence that supports it ☠️
@@thomassaddul how ironic my mom is a heavy meat eater and in her 50s she’s anemic the doctors had to stop her from donating blood literally told her “somebody needs to donate you blood “ and prescribed her b-12 shots
oh my gosh thank goodness. I saw your video after your stroke and hoped you would come to your senses before something worse happened. Dr. Esselstyn is wonderful and will not steer you wrong.
Wow! Great video! Congrats on all of the changes!
My favorite WFPB no oil meal to make is lentils and rice with spices and cherry tomatoes. I have also been trying to reduce my oil and fat intake and this dish has been really helpful for me.
Best wishes!
That dish sounds great!!
I'm really glad you are changing your diet, for your sake. My friend and I both did keto together using organic foods. After over a year I began to feel my body telling me something was very wrong (feeling of impending doom, tingling in the arms when I laid down, etc.). I did not want to go off of keto for fear of gaining weight but I finally decided to listen to my body. The symptoms immediately went away so I thought it might be a fluke. I immediately tried to go back on keto three different times _but each time_ my body told me the same thing, 'you will die' (me specifically). Finally, I really listened and stopped.
Like you, I did more research. I found that many of the you-tube keto doctors are taking certain studies out of context (I found this out by actually going and reading some of the studies they had referenced in context). I looked at studies and found pretty consistently that they show over and over that the less animal products one consumes the less overall disease and all-cause mortality. I tried sharing this information with my friend but she would not even look at the studies. Keto _can_ become like a cult-mindset. I was suprised that she would not even look at the studies. We had done keto together for over a year (maybe 15 months) when I stopped. She continued... _and died a few years later._ She passed away last year on February 1, 2023 and I miss her so much. She was a beautiful human being, inside and out. She was only 49. She wasn't even overweight...I think she started out around 122 and maintained at about 115 at 5 ft 4 for those wondering. She was the picture of health. She drank a high quality (expensive) bone broth daily by Jordan Ruben/Dr. Axe. She followed Dr. Eric Berg here on you-tube and also did intermittent fasting (followed Jason Fung for that). Again, she was a stickler about being organic and grass-fed (whether meat or butter). She was not a heavy eater. I add these details just in case anyone is wondering about whether or not organic had a part. She walked pretty regularly but did not do stressful work outs. She wound up getting cancer, TWO different kinds, both in the breast area. I had tried showing her the 'China Study' results around 2017 or 2018 but she would not even look/listen... _which was not like her._ Again, keto/carnivore can become such a mindset...like a cult.
For anyone reading, please understand I am not saying a keto diet can't be good in certain situations or for a limited time. I *am* saying that a _high _*_animal_*_ protein/fat diet long-term, _that ALSO eliminates cancer fighting fruits and vegetables_ is a recipe for early death. That kind of diet (animal keto/carnivore) is *high* in cancer causing food while ALSO reducing/eliminating cancer *fighting* fruits and vegetables. I miss my friend every day. I'm so upset by all of this.
Beth, I'm glad to see that you are listening to a great heart doctor. Dr. Garth Davis is another good doctor in a clinical setting who speaks about this topic. Dr. Michael Gregor is good too (going over all the nutritional studies) as is Diabetes Dr. Neal Bernard and of course Dr. John McDougall. May God bless you in your health journey. All things are possible through Him!
Vegans and Vegetarians can also be cult like I have found. Perhaps the Mediterranean diet really is the way to go!
Have you seen the doctors you mentioned? They are all skinny and look sickly. No thanks. Not for me. Sorry about your friend. 😔
Talk about a cult!! The only way to describe vegan is a cult!!!
OMG! What a great comment. So very sorry about your friend. I got truth tingle when I read your comment that you got the message you would die on the high higher meat Keto.
Everything shared about the research is true. I am trying to get this message out to others. There is too much misinformation. If you would be open to being interviewed on my channel on zoom, I would love to do that. If you would be open to this, please email me at. Empowerbeth@gmail.com. I understand if you don’t want to do this, but if you would be open to it thanks for letting me know that.💝
Unfortunately, the Mediterranean diet while better than the standard American diet does not show heart disease reversal. That’s what I am going for. I do agree that people take their diets personally, and each one can seem like a cult, but after the research I have been doing, there is truly only one diet that has been proven and repeated studies to reduce and brewers, heart, disease, and that is Whole Foods plant-based. it is very confusing and I do understand that. I didn’t realize that until I had such a negative event which caused me to really look deeper into things.
