I said it before I'll say it again... Name me a vegetarian solution towards my " Crohn's Disease ". The only thing I can eat has been " Fermented Saur-kraut ", but before that? every vegetable made me sick... until I swapped to a Carnivore diet. Red meat / eggs / lactose free milk - and cooking my meat with Ghee. Nothing else worked. So unless every vegan in the comment section wants me to have pain 24/7 and people like with IBD... in fact? the reason I got Crohn's might be partially due to the chemicals used on vegetables and fruits. I will always be thankful to doctors like Paul
Maybe you have problems with your gut if you can't eat fruits/vegetables. And I'm not saying you shouldn't eat meat and quality don't matter in food. I tried fixing my gut with diet and it didn't work. Only supplementation helped me. I think it's worth it to do the viome gut test. And I'm not saying that you should eat the way they say, just use that to see your gut health. Good luck on your health journey!
@@rorowwa1 I suffer from a autoimmune disorder called " Crohn's disease ". My entire life has been eating healthy greens and I ended up diagnosed with it 3 years ago. I tried every diet, and most nutritionists advised cookie-cutter solutions like steamed veggies... which made it worse... The only things that have worked for me has been Redmeat / Eggs / Fish / cooking it with Ghee not sunflower oils and recently? fermented Sauerkraut. Deviating from this which I tried? makes my symptoms reappear from internal bleeding of my intestine due to inflammation... to malabsorption of everything healthy due to a bad gut, which causes problems like fatigue, headaches, joint pain and a series of other issues... Believe you me, I have tried a lot. I miss a lot of what I used to eat, but I rather eat a very limited Carnivore diet? that keeps me healthy or functioning vs risking it for things i used to like which was actually vegetables and fruits
Many vegans are masochists and speciesist against humanity. Their mantra is I would rather die than kill animals and eat them. They then project that masochism onto others and if you don't also believe your health, happiness, and life quality should be virtually non existent in order to save a couple animals from being eaten you're evil. Even the Buddha ate meat. They are deluded
I started to consume grass fed grass finished liver and raw milk in Feb 2023. Found out I was pregnant three months later and we weren’t even trying. Through out the pregnancy, I craved meat, milk and yogurt. Never had morning sickness and worked till two weeks before my due date. I Only gained 20 pounds through the pregnancy. My plan was to free birth but I didn’t have the support so I ended up going to the hospital. They tried to telling me my baby was small, her dead was small, and she would have no hair. They got what they wanted, an unwanted c section. They tried to find something wrong with my baby, but they were unsuccessful. My baby was 8 lbs and 21 inches with a lot of hair. She is breastfed so I consume my liver, meats and raw milk postpartum. I didn’t suffer from PPD! The pediatrician I took her to said she is in the high percentile range. This does work, believe me! The only thing I’ll change next is it will be a free birth next time
@@DolphRthey also lie and say that girls who start having children at puberty can die from complications and tell them to start having children in their 20s.
Medical field is an occult here in the USA. They lie and manipulate people for gain. I am carnivore and I am so damn helsthy. Doctors freak out because they know I won't be a life long customer to their sick big pharma drugs.
I free birthed my fourth baby in October,I had to fight social services to prove I was legally allowed to free birth and have an unassisted pregnancy. I had a healthy 7lb boy who gained weight so fast when he was born! I can't remember if it was 1 or 2lb he gained the first week. I ate meat and drank raw milk throughout I craved milk and preferred A1 raw which is the most expensive 😂
Reading the comments has proven to me that this documentary needs more unbiased research. I believe that eating healthy non processed food is key to health.
There's already been research it's just that these people are pushing a more carnivorous diet when the closest thing we ate was the Paleo diet but the Mediterranean diet is superior because it is more conducive with modern lifestyle. Look at centenarians, most eat a more plant based (not vegetarian) diet with animal meat as more of a side than the main dish. The Chinese and Japanese don't even consume milk in their traditional diets.
I agree. We love meat and eggs and raw dairy but that's not the end-all of nutrition. There is a lot more to the differences in those placentas than diet.
I agree. My vegetarian blood is DARK RED + my iron, B12, etc., is excellent. I never had fatigue (or fertility) problems as a vegetarian; I only was fatigued as a meat eater. I led children and teens in exercises for P.E. classes from ages ~51-60. My vegan dad was similar in leading young men jogging every Sunday. They could not keep up with him in his 60s! 😅
My placenta looked in between these two, not nearly as pale as the vegetarian nor as dark as the animal fed placenta. My first placenta was huge weighed almost 8 pounds and my midwife asked if she could keep it to share with her students, she said it was one of the most beautiful healthy placentas and was the largest she had ever delivered. I ate meat 2 or 3 times a week, mostly I was vegetarian, this repeated with my other 2 pregnancies only my placentas were around 5-6 pounds. My last pregnancy I was mostly vegetarian and my midwife thought it was a beautiful placenta and her new midwife was there and she was highly impressed with the healthiness. I'm not saying this documentary isn't accurate, but I think we would need to see this in controlled groups of plant eaters and meat eaters as well as a medical history among women that are participating. Every persons bodies (health) is different throughout pregnancy. I was low iron in all of my pregnancies, then told by a doctor I would probably be iron deficient later in life, which has proven to be true. My mom was diabetic during her pregnancies only, she was told similar to what I was told. Later she in life she was borderline diabetic. I think we should remember every body is different and every body needs it's own dietary needs.
Yea i agree it would be nice to see more variables accounted for. While I do believe there is a lot of truth to the nutrient intake, I would appreciate more examples and case studies to create a more complete picture.
If you’re low iron and Iron deficient that tells you that you aren’t eating enough red meat. You’re literally just telling us that your diet was deficient. Red meat contains HEME iron - the type your body needs and absorbs.
Not a father nor a husband, but a just a guy in his 20s and watching this made my eyes teary. I learnt about this diet all a few months ago and I'm badly working to change my food habits and my surrounding.
You've got this! Every little bit of change you make is a victory!! I've been slowly healing sugar/carb food addiction. You should check out Sally Fallon from Weston A. Price foundation. She's written many books on lost ancestral food preparation and how we are eating rice, beans, nuts etc all wrong today. She's a huge advocate for raw milk.
@@CalvaryCatalystI've got over my sugar addiction completely, but carbs is something I am still dependent on. I'm working on it now. I love raw milk that's how I drink and it's taking the place of water for me. I'll check Sally Falcon and thanks a lot for sharing information mate!
@@amaan-the-analyst You're very welcome!Some carbs are obviously good. Sally Fallon gives a lot of information about how we can still eat some carbs but after a period of soaking and fermenting. It sounds like you're a lot closer to your goal than you realize 😆
I've had 2 vegan pregnancies both my placentas were dark red like the "meat eaters" one and they were BIG the Nurse midwives pointed that out both times. I think this would be believable if they looked at multiple placentas not just one from each category. As a nurse myself i always ask to see the placenta after so it wasn't just what i was told but what i observed.
I think every body has different nutritional needs too, some people are meant to eat more plant based some more animal based, the vegan one in this video could also have had underlying health issues unrelated to diet, or perhaps was only eating like processed foods, or not eating enough, there's many factors
Exactly the point i wanted to make. Comparing two placentas really says absolutely nothing about the two diets. I would take this more seriously if they had compared more than just the two. Heck, even as few as 20-30 different vegan vs meat eater placentas would make me possibly take their claims more seriously, depending on the findings, of course.
I’m the same. I’ve worked in delivery rooms for years and never noticed any difference, always asked to see my placentas when I gave birth, the three vegan placentas looked the same size, color, etc as the two that weren’t in my case. 🤷♀️
I am not against people eating healthy diets that include meat. However, I also want to share my experience with a vegan pregnancy. I choose to eat that way a few years before I got pregnant because after much experimentation with different diets I felt healthiest and had the easiest time controlling my blood sugar on it. I was very mindful about how I ate as I am a type 1 diabetic and an older Mother. 40 yrs old at the time of my pregnancy. My diet did not include grains or any processed food. I ate fruit, root vegetables, beans, lots and lots of greens, nuts and seeds. Several times during my pregnancy I had strangers come up and tell my how healthy I looked and I felt great! My midwife was an older woman with decades of experience. The woman has seen many, many placentas in her life time. She was very pleased to tell me how extremely healthy my placenta looked at my birth. It was an unsolicited comment and I always felt it was a great compliment.
@@rachelkreamer5470Interesting. While I believe eating meat is ultimately necessary and the best way to go, it seems clear that grains have to be the most detrimental food to human health (outside of the obvious sugar/seed oils/processed foods). The elimination of grains is the key thing that seems to make everyone feel better, whether that's because of keto/carnivore or veg.
Really, we have changed to a meat based diet to control type 1 diabetes. I say do whatever works for you, maybe we aren't all the same, i wonder if it's something to do with our ancesters and where in the world we are originally from.
similar story for me ❤ vegetarian /vegan for more than 10 years before having my first at home, super healthy placenta, easy getting pregnant, I am currently pregnant with my 4th, I get my period back no more than a month and a half after giving birth while breastfeeding full time 🌸
Bro, your channel freaked my wife and I out but in a good way. We have over the past few weeks, completely changed our food habits. We even went through our clothes to weed out anything but cotton. You really have opened our eyes to so much we were ignorant to. Thank you!
@@LonneLpppolyester contains PFAs which are “forever chemicals” they stay in the body and incredibly long time and are very hard to get rid of. They may cause issues with conceiving and even while pregnant such as premature babies. I got rid of all my polyester. It’s so hard to be 100% cotton but at least your under garments (touching your reproductive areas) should be cotton only.
Nearly 8 months pregnant with my first animal based diet (not entirely 100% but overall very consistent). Overall I feel amazing, my body does not feel like it is falling apart like in previous pregnancies (this is my 9th baby & I'm 43!) I am so excited to see the condition of my placenta too !!! Drs think I'm pretty nuts, but I also have managed excellent fasting blood sugars (have lowered the fruit consumption in the last trimester), which is something I'd normally struggle with, am sure they'd call me diabetic if I wasn't eating so low carb and meat & fat heavy at this point. Looking forward to meeting my baby! 🥰❤️

Paul, thank you so much for sharing this. As someone who recently became a father last year, it baffles me to see how little attention in the broader health community is put on making sure we get things right from the beginning with the next generation, let alone, solving for the crisis of infertility and being able to have children in the first place. This will be the biggest challenge of our time, and this documentary, alongside your conversations with Calley Means on the baby formula industry, you're sparking an incredibly important conversation that I have yet to see anyone cover. I hope to meet you one day man, you're doing this world a massive service 🤝
They said the lady had an iron deficiency, which according to studies only about 8% of vegans have, so this lady was a minority. We need to find a placenta from a vegan mom who actually eats healthy for a fair comparison. We also don't know the ages of the women, that could have even been a factor.
As a former breastfeeding peer counselor, I had lots of opportunities for extra education. Do you know who pays for, and therefore has the rights to all of the thorough breastfeeding/milk studies. You guessed it. Big pharma, through certain universities, who use it to advance their formula. They do not allow it to be published in a public way. I heard a professor who works on these studies speak once. There is so much "not public" information, and do much that is yet to be discovered about the importance of human milk.
I ate moderately healthy with no dietary restrictions with both of my pregnancies. I didn’t discover liver/organ meats until the last trimester of my second baby and I could not believe the ravenous cravings I had for liver those last 12 weeks. I was so shocked it wasn’t disgusting to me and I was so grateful my husband was willing to learn how to cook it haha
I ate vegan for all of my pregnancies, and my placenta never looked like that. Come on! Not all vegans/vegetarians have placenta that look disgusting like that. Mine looked dark deep, red, and was super healthy. My kids are brilliantly smart,, and thriving
I had the same experience. Additionally, eating WFPB enabled me to have two spontaneous pregnancies after I was told by two doctors I would never get pregnant without medical intervention. My children were all large healthy babies, 22” long and over 8 lbs. . ❤
Exactly. You can’t compare two random placentas when we know nothing about how much processed food they ate, how much healthy food they ate. Just scare tactics.
Same, I had 0 problems with my pregnancy, gave a natural birth, recovered really fast, am breastfeeding,my baby is happy and healthy, and was born bigger than the majoruty of my meat loving friends babies, I didn't have diabeties just so we are clear. My baby was 54cm and weighted 4,138kg, when the top avg is 3,7 kg. This is BS. Ah and even the doctor was happily surprised that the ambilical cord was really big and thick. 😅
@@mechboltxl4591where did this come from. Half the women cant even physically birth a child without harm during puberty and its just a generally weird thing to just randomly assert.
@@strav8337 From my history and biology book. Why does god make these girls feel the desire to want to have sex once they hit puberty and not in their 20s or 30s. There are plenty of girls who have given birth at puberty and they were fine and nothing bad happened to them. Eunice Winstead is a perfect example of this. She had her first child at around 14.
@@mechboltxl4591Sir not even in their twenties in your opinion? Twenties is perfect to start. Historically that was a common time to start. I’ve read a lot of historical novels, and textbooks, and therein you’ll see young girls married young for political reasons. However it was in later teens and twenties most common women married.
@@abigailelizabeth4729 you are wrong. Girls start having children at menarche. Once they started menstruating. Why does nature make girls feel that they want to have a child at puberty and not in their 20s or 30s. Also the age of consent used to be low in the USA and Europe. You can look it up.
Breast Fed is amazing… the bond with your child is awesome ♥️ BUT ⚠️ CAUTION ⚠️ the MOTHER HAS TO NOURISH HERSELF. Feed yourself well like you are your own child. Honestly it needs to be emphasized that the mother is also recovering and NEEDS nourishment. Insight on what that is needs to be portrayed more often.
I am a homebirth midwife and all I can do is say thank you so much for putting this together! This will be such a great resource for my clients! I cannot wait to share this with our homebirth community.
Do you support girls getting married and start having children at puberty? We are already seeing the consequences of allowing women to become uncontrollable stubborn spinsters.
In fairness though, the film does not explain how nutritionally dense the vegetarian mother's food intake was. I know several vegetarians who don't eat vegetables: unless it's chips/fries and other rubbish, fast food pizzas etc. I agree, the vegetarian mother's placenta did look anaemic, gritty and old. But there are many vegetarian women commenting in this thread about the high quality foods, macros and micros in their well planned healthy diets. I'm a meat eater, but I think it's perhaps not quite as black and white as portrayed in this excellent documentary. PS, as a midwife, I once caught a baby from a poor mum who told me during labour that her last meal was some Coco Pops. The baby was very light for dates and the placenta barely bigger than my hand. I commented to the student that when you examine a placenta, you are looking inside the mother's kitchen 😮
Please don't be fooled. Listen to one of the recent podcast of steven bartlett with a fertility doctor. She doesnt recommend eating meat at all. She recommends nuts, avos, healthy oils, whole fat diary and fish 2-3 times per week. And lots of fruit and plants (fibre). Please be wise.
eating like our ancestors simply makes sense.... can't argue against that society tries to impose so many things on us. it feels like following logic and reason is the only way nowadays i also eat animal based and i feel SO GOOD, so thank you so much Paul for your great work
I was vegan through my whole pregnancy. I ate a lot of big salads loaded with many types of veggies, beans, seeds, and nuts. On top of veggies I drank vegan protein drinks, fresh fruit smoothies, and fresh squeezed vegetable and wheatgrass juice. I also ate a lot tofu, tempeh, and French bread. I even had a small glass of wine on thanksgiving and Christmas. My cheat snack at the end of my pregnancy was potato chips dipped in bean dip or hummus. For exercise I did about an hour of brisk walking every day. My midwife didn’t know anything about my diet but she told me that my placenta was the healthiest she’s ever seen! I didn’t see it but she said it was very dark red like the one this video is showing from the meat eater. It made me feel so good to hear that because as a vegan I was worried about getting enough protein.
I am vegan, and was vegan during my last pregnancy. I am a mom of 5 children, my last pregnancy was the best. My placenta during my last pregnancy was very healthy as well. Good job mama!
The thing is many vegetarians and vegans eat so much processed foods and don't think about the micros they may be missing in their more plant based diet. I know a few very healthy vegetarians and vegans. I've also known many throughout my life that struggled with health issues from sleep issues all the way to early onset osteoporosis. The ones that were less healthy usually were the ones who were eating a lot of ultra processed foods. I think above all else, ultra processed foods is more detrimental to a pregnant woman, and potentially the baby, than if someone eats a more plant based diet. We know that people who eat more meat can be unhealthy too and it's usually those who eat more ultra processed foods that have more health issues.
@@smania7575 ya something that I’ve tried to explain to people is being vegan doesn’t necessarily mean you’re healthy. You could eat only chips and soda and a diet of Taco Bell and still be vegan.
Wow, this is something a lot of soon-to-be mothers should watch. This mini-documentary doesn't only show you how an animal-based diet physically helps with a mother's pregnancy and birth but also shows how a mother can be a free-thinker and different by going back to our ancestral instincts to eat what is truly best for us as human beings. If you go to any OBGYN today their first recommendation for a pregnant female is to prescribe them a heavily processed pill called a prenatal to assist with the baby's development. They never ever recommend for a mother to eat anything that is truly nutrient dense.
I am of the persuasion that it doesn't matter if you're plant based or animal based, as long as you keep the ultra processed foods out of your diet. I've known people to cure their myriad of ailments on both meat and plant based dietary changes. But what is the common thread through both? They eliminate ultra processed foods. That's the key.
Thank you Dr. Saldino. I had a diseases that was said to be incurable. I won't name it here because I know this comment will get deleted if I do (It happened before). I went natural, nothing processed at all, and that made me not end up being a statistic. Your videos saved my life. Thanks again. My girlfriend now is very ill, I try to get her on the animal based diet be she recently said to me "Don't ever bring up that conversation again" I try to support her as much as possible, but she is not letting me help her. Loyalty is everything for me, That's how I was raised, I seriously don't know how long I can stay watching her destroy herself. But you gave me the light and i will keep on showing others the path to get out of the darkness. Thanks again.
You simply have to respect her decision in this case since it is her body, even if you don't agree with it. Beyond that you still have the choice to stick by her, whatever you do though you can always be compassionate in the way you do it. Maybe there is a way to introduce certain nutrients while still abiding with her particular diet, but again that can be tough particularly if its a strict plant based or vegan diet.
I doubt she actually really loves you all that much if she isn't respecting your attempts to help her, it's a sign that you aren't a good match. I'm saying this because I can tell somewhere down the line disagreements like that can get very out of hand. I really do feel bad for all they brainwashed vegetarians and especially vegans out there that fall incredibly ill from malnutrition
Nope, not her accent. Listen more carefully @16:37….she definitely said “pasteurized”. Then, @17:18, she claims that infant formulas contain “hydrogenized vegetable oils”, most likely meaning ‘hydrogenated’ vegetable oils. That label, seen on the screen, has no hydrogenated vegetable oil, as it’s not been allowed to be included in infant formula for some time. Vegetable oils, providing the majority of the fat calories, have been an ingredient of infant formulas, with the organic products containing expeller-pressed to preserve quality and prevent product oxidation.
I had one baby on the standard American diet. She was born with a severe and life limiting genetic disorder. She has been healed on carnivore. My second pregnancy was no processed foods. He was born premature at 29 weeks, but is extremely healthy. My third baby, I was completely carnivore my entire pregnancy, and he was born full-term, at home, completely healthy and has grown faster than my other two. Carnivore and similar diets are incredible 🙏🏼
That side-by-side comparison of the two placentas is crazy. If i had my time over I would do things very differently than I did with my pregnancies. I feel like things would have been very different for at least a couple of my kids who had weight and feeding issues as babies.
I've been animal based for about 3 years, and currently 7 months pregnant. Animal based fixed so many issues (like no longer needing thyroid medication after 12 years, etc.), but this pregnancy has been so easy. I never got morning sickness, or had any other symptoms or problems, aside from some fatigue lately, but I think that could be expected. My average daily glucose is around 85 mg/dL, and all my vitamins/labs were great too. My baby is very active and makes it difficult to get ultrasounds/fetal heartbeat checkups because he moves so much! But, partner health also can make a big difference. My partner been animal based for longer than we've been together, and I have to contribute a lot of this easy pregnancy to his diet and health.
I was a holistic doctor practicing for 29 years so over 8,000 clients. And I have been carnivore for 25 years. I totally agree meat is our food plants is our medicine because plants are actually toxic and they caused our body to kick into gear to purge therefore because the plants are toxic they act like medicine. Our bodies actually heal themselves the plants and herbs are actually tools. It's really fascinating. I've taken a shamanic approach to healing and really understand what exactly the toxicity of the plants make them ideal tools to help our bodies heal!😊 I love being on this journey of just learning so much it's mind-boggling! And this group of people especially carnivores we are so open-minded we are not afraid of the truth and we always seek the truth!❤

Ok, i have to share my story. I was mostly plant based since i was 14 and got pregnant at 21. In the 7 years i ate loads of grains,bread ,rice, veggies, fruit and some legumes, beans, vegan yoghurt and oat milk. Somewhere in between i did eat some eggs. Though not much and meat a few times, maybe 5 times in 7 years. I gave birth at 22 and at home. My pregnancy was very easy and i had no problems whatsoever. In the last months of pregnancy i eat mostly raw plant based but also some bread and cooked food. My son was born perfectly healthy, healthy weight and so on. He is now 3 and eats meat since he is 2 years old. So he was mostly raw vegan until 2. He has perfect teeth and almost never gets sick. So i think there is more to health than what we eat... With My second son, I'm now 25, i ate lots of eggs and cheese and some meat. He is sick way more often than my first son. So yeah.. there is more to that. I'm still finding out what kind of food fits us best. For me the key is organic, NO SUGAR, sourdough bread or gluten free baked with buckwheat, fresh and ripe stuff, regionally grown. Right now I'm trying the animal based stuff, raw milk, yoghurt, meat, many many eggs but i have to tell you as for now i don't feel better. I feel even worse and I'm so tired .
Oh yeah and after my first birth I had enough milk for 10 baby's 😂 it was just running. I breastfed my son for more than 2 years and I got pregnant again after 1,5 years. Still being mostly plant based! I started eating a little bit of meat and cheese while pregnant with my second. So how can you explain that? Vegan baby, perfectly healthy... Home birth, easy pregnancy, lots of milk and so on....
If you have ticks in your area, see if he and or you don't have the tick based illness that causes food allergies and makes people sick. They can check it with blood tests. All it takes is one bite from an infected tick
As a carnivore dieter I believed all this until my wife was pregnant with our son. For 9 months she was so deathly adversed to meat I couldn’t even have it in the house. Just the sight, smell, or even thought of it made her hurl her brains out. Forget about organs, those nearly killed her. Needless to say this all completely scrambled my brain. Still searching for a physiological explanation. If anyone has one please help, we’re trying to conceive again.
I have no help or advice but I knew a woman who was like this during pregnancy too. She is a big meat eater but when pregnant, meat nauseated her. Why??
@@nicolekeagle1105 My two cents..perhaps meat contains the vital nutrients a woman trying to get pregnant and her baby need. But like you mentioned, they had eaten meat their whole lives, maybe they had enough. I wouldn't be surprised if they did better with more carbohydrates during this time to "animate" the anatomy, rather than build the blueprints. Hope that helps
@@ZackRamsey14 its just commen sense that she dont want meat during pregnancy becuase the body reject it so in other words its bad, try to eat fish when you are sick you will vomit over the whole place
Interesting! One reason that your did not want to eat meat is because her gallbladder/liver was challenged. Maybe her desire not to eat meat could be called nausea. Gallbladder problem is very common in pregnant women. Years ago just the smell of anything oily made me sick. Years later, I figured it out: I had fatty liver.
The thumbnail states "plant-based" placenta, but the lady in the video says it was from a woman who eats a vegetarian diet. Those are two very different diets.
Placental calcification is mainly caused by consuming large amounts of oxalates. Read: "Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload Is Making You Sick-and How to Get Better" - Sally Norton. She is talking about cacification of placenta: "All Your Oxalate Questions Answered at Meatstock 2024 with Sally K Norton".
Parenthood is the absolute best. Paul you get some shade from the carnivore community because you eat fruit, but I don’t care because to me you are just a nice guy. You do seem to attract the vegetarians tho, kind of a unique mixed space you have here. I’m carnivore, it’s good practice to get along with mixed company. I value a person’s demeanor way above what they eat.
We eat a lot of meat and I've had 4 babies and I have seen all of their placentas. I've also processed many placentas into capsules for other mothers. There is way more to placental quality than what was consumed, and what you see after birth depends on many factors. At what gestational age was the baby born? A later aged baby will have calcifications in the placenta. Was the cord allowed to pulsate and placenta detach naturally? This puts blood into the baby instead of letting it remain in the placenta. C-Section or Vaginal birth? These things all factor in to how the placenta appears.
It's gotten so bad I only find like 5% of them attractive now. Most look unhealthy and try to mask it with surgery or cosmetic application. Country girls are the best because they're not afraid of meat
Ooh I heard about this documentary but had forgotten about this. I’m glad it popped up. I still have 8 or so years of fertility left and am not married yet, plus I have celiac disease, so I am highly motivated to have as nutritious a diet as possible! I’m trying to establish dietary habits now that will be effortless to maintain during childbearing years if I ever get that privilege.
This video is very misleading. The woman says her diet was focused on grians and meat substitutes. Of course, she would feel awful. The vegans that are thriving are the ones who base their diet around whole foods: vegetables, dark leafy greens, fruit, spices, wild foods, some, nuts and seeds, and root vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and squashes. If you are focusing your diet on processed foods (such as meat substitutes), soy, other grains and legumes, you won't have a fun time, and you will develop deficiencies. It's whole another story if you already have something inflammatory going on and you develop a food intolerance. If you react to spinach, it means there is something wrong going on in your body, and it's not because spinach is poison and whatnot. People have thrived on diets high in leafy greens for centuries, as long as they are clean and not sprayed with poison. It's not about vegan vs carnivore/animal based. It's about eating a variety of whole unprocessed clean foods. The ratio animal food to plant food is very individual for every person. These food wars are becoming ridiculous, and if you think there is a global agnda to divide people, you (everyone who participates) are falling for it big time.
I have a well balanced diet of home grown and locally grown organic produce, and we find the best grass fed and best we can find meats, and backyard chicken eggs. With all of my pregnancies except my twin pregnancy (different reasons) my placenta was incredibly healthy. We evolved to eat animal products
Excellent work. People need to be aware of the benefits. Women are eating for two when pregnant so it's obviously important to maintain both health's and make the best start for your child.
My miracle pregnancy was what lead me to the carnivore/meat based thing. I couldn’t stand veggies/junk food. Placenta was big and deep red. Our baby boy was stillbirth from an undetected infection that I had but he came out lean, long and built like baby Tarzan. I ate fruit milk and dairy like it was going out of fashion couldn’t stand anything else. I’m trying to get that nutrition back to that level to try and conceive again.
I still feel like there are some variables missing. When you look at someone who’s plant-based or vegan we want to also know where they eating things that were 100% in from the Earth versus processed vegan items. I honestly feel like for someone to be finding, calcified debris inside of a vegan placenta they must’ve been eating some form of processed foods. Sometimes it’s not so much whether the person is plant-based or vegan but how much process foods they were eating. Also note that not everyone does well on a carnivorous diet so we have to also take genetics into consideration to determine what’s good for someone and what’s not. We can’t generalize diet across-the-board for everyone. There’s proof that it just clearly does not work that way. If it didn’t work that way, not so many people would be sick with health conditions.
I was a pescatarian during my pregnancy and after. My placenta looked somewhere in between these 2, probably more towards the darker color. My iron was sky high when they tested it. I took my placenta home, because Im a curious person. 😂 But is is kind of sad to see a healthy and unhealthy placenta next to each other. 😢
This video imo wasn't an accurate representation, they said the vegan mom had an iron deficiency, according to studies only about 8% of vegans are iron deficient, so who ever this lady was is a minority. She more than likely wasn't eating enough vegetables, nuts, seeds and beans to get her iron. Too many vegans rely on grains which don't have a lot of vitamins / minerals. It is harder to get certain vitamins on a vegan diet, but it's possible especially with juicing. Just like on an animal based diet, it's hard to get electrolyes like magnesium, which is why so many people end up with heart palpitations and muscle cramps. It's pretty easy to get this from plants, my hemp smoothie has 80% of my mag. for the day.
How is eating meat the most important thing for a human when the human body literally shows you it's not. Humans don't have claws to hunt for meat like actually animals that has specific claws to eat other animals.
Thank you so much for sharing this information with the public! I’m so glad to have access to this at this point in my life. It’s never too late to start putting yourself and your family first
I was fed soy formula as an infant because I cried as my mother tried to give me breast milk because she said my stomach hurt so much. So as an infant I was given a formula that was called Soyalac. I still until this day cannot have much dairy but she did say I stopped crying when given soy,
Dr Paul thank you from all my heart for your help! I eat much and well and can’t stop losing weight (along with exercise). But please , keep it low between us cause protein based food, especially meat prices, have gone up and will go more as more people learn the secrets of our diet! Unfortunately we can’t all be paleo! Especially the liver!
6 weeks pregnant and started liver as my supplement. No morning sickness at all. I feel full and satisfied throughout the day. If I eat anything off it’s because I wanted to not because I was craving
I did the Brewer diet in my second pregnancy, which was to prevent preeclampsia and other negative outcomes. But I still felt like it was too many carbs that I had to try to fill in, when I all I really wanted were more animal products. My next pregnancy will be animal based!
The placenta comparison was shocking. And the Midwife's comment was that the placenta from the plant-based mother was similar to a smoker's placenta. I think that's compelling evidence.
Ive been a vegetarian for over 30 years. Never had trouble conceiving or with placental health. As a labor & delivery nurse of over 10 years, I've seen my share of placentas. I believe it's the quality of the diet more so than vegetarian vs not. Ive seen MANY malnourished pregnancies of meat-eating patients. BTW, I breastfed both kiddos until 3 years old without problems.
Ive never been a plant based eater though I enjoy occasional vegetarian and vegan meals as a change of pace. When I was pregnant with my son I carved liver which I don't like a lot, spinach salads with all the fixings including eggs, meat, cheese, berries, and lots of other veggies, cheese, fresh fruit including berries, lots of meat, and breakfast protein packed smoothies made with milk, yogurt, and protein powder with berries or PB and chocolate. My only unhealthy constant craving was sour gummies with ice cream. All my cravings I ate when I carved them. At the time raw milk was illegal in my area and I couldn't afford the pasture raised eggs as well on snap and wic. No grass fed grass finished stuff either on my budget. I had anemia flare up bad enough to need iron supplements on top of prenatal and had several complications while pregnant, and almost died in childbirth despite hospital birth because the placenta wouldn't detach causing hemorrhaging. I moved 7 counties while in labor and was in labor well over 24 hours. My baby was healthy as hell. I couldn't breast feed but didn't find out until post birth. Post partum wad brutal and almost became psychosis. My son will soon be 14 and he and I are healthy and happy despite it all and I totally agree eating real food is key
I regret being vegan with my first child. Ate meat with my second. Currently pregnant with my third and it's been the easiest pregnancy so far. My first has terrible teeth and I think it's because I was vegan while pregnant
Does your first have obvious facial structure or jawline differences compared to the other child? Usually bad teeth coincide with bad jaw/bone density etc
I would like to see you compare the placenta of someone who’s been eating raw plant-based diet, no processed foods compared to a meat eater. You can’t convince me by looking at only two placentas, and with not knowing anything about what the “vegetarian” was eating, that eating meat and dairy are better. As there are a wealth of studies and research in regard to people who eat plant based diets live longer and healthier lives.
I was a veg for ten years, then vegan for ten years and had hormone issues. When I began studying Chinese Medicine I learned about organ meat and thankfully started eating quality animal based foods again. I was still heavily into vegetables 😂 but then ate significantly more meat when I became pregnant with both my boys. Organic fresh pressed orange juice was an absolute must though. If I didn’t have it, my mood and energy sank. Like night and day. Also, Pho was just a great option for me during the Phoenix hot summer to stay hydrated, nourished, and cool.
Ive had three children. My first pregnancy was not vegan , still ate veggies , fruits, beans, nuts(couldn’t gave dairy) felt pretty crappy, lazy. My last two pregnancies were both vegan and I felt great, energetic, healthier. My non vegan baby also weighed smaller than my vegan babies. I’ve been vegan for 15 yrs and my healthiest I’ve ever been. My non vegan child is healthy, but has had some health issues in his life(plus when he was born he has to stay in intensive care for a week before coming home). My two vegan children were born perfectly healthy and still are thriving. I definitely feel my body was meant to be vegan. I couldn’t even have dairy as a baby, I would get so sick when it was given to me:(. When you think about it , it’s wrong for humans to take cows milk away that is supposed to be for the bab calf:(. It’s meant to grow a baby cow into an adult cow.
I just had my third child at home and got a great look at the placenta afterward. I was not strict carnivore but cook 95% of every meal we eat from scratch, meat and dairy based diet and seed oil free. The plant based placenta in this video looks so, so wrong…. I feel terrible for anyone who has been sold and continues to believe that vegetarian food and food products are more healthful than red meat. Truly evil to obfuscate nutritional facts for profit. Most grocery store products are not even food. 😓
I had to supplement a lot during both my pregnancies since I was severely sick. I had HG for both of them and could barely keep any food down. Most of what I ate was meat, eggs, potatoes, and lots of shakes.
I had HG also and couldn't keep down any food or drink. Would it be okay to ask if you feel your children were negatively impacted by having HG? I feel my son was negatively impacted but I also had other complications.
@monicavandeventer5429 that's wonderful to hear that your children are well and thriving. Blessings to your family. What kind of supplements did you find useful with your pregnancies? I tried taking a pregnancy multivitamin but due to the HG couldn't keep it down. I used a magnesium spray also and I did have a great labour but the actual pregnancy was awful
Both of my pregnancies, I ate meat and vegetables along with fruits, I had healthy babies, but the doctor stressed me out and I had a lot of anxiety during my first pregnancy (I was 29 y/o) 17 years ago, was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and anemia, after going too many times to doctor’s appointments with the recommendation of the doctor for me being “too old to be pregnant”. Second pregnancy was much better but I didn’t allowed my doctor to do too many tests, vaccines and appointments, prenatal care should not be stressful just because the mother is over 30. Pregnancies in general aren’t a sickness. It’s a marvellous process of creating the miracle of life and we should be allowed to be calm, happy and healthy. Unless the mother has underlying medical issues, I was a healthy woman before pregnancies, and was sad to be diagnosed with problems during pregnancy the first time, (I truly believe that my doctor didn’t want to let me be normal and insisted on causing stress to get a diagnosis) the second time around I did it my way.
Really interesting watch, I had HG in my pregnancy and couldn’t stomach much at all, the main food that I could keep down and didn’t turn my stomach was fruit, loads of fruit and some raw veg, I had fish and eggs maybe a handful of times, I did however stay away from all sugary process foods and most processed grain food too, I had a super healthy pregnancy and natural water birth, my placenta looked normal, it was the best I’d felt but I think it was due to cutting out all crap, I continued to breastfeed for 2 and a half years, my daughter is now 3 and the size of a 5 year old 😂 I’m hoping to have another one and will keep this information in mind, I think it’s fascinating how different all our bodies, and pregnancies are! I eat meat and fish now but only premium which makes it expensive so maybe twice a week, I’m cautious of low quality meats and fish as I’m not sure they’re beneficial and I do not enjoy eating them
A lot of vegetarians use seed oils and eat highly processed foods. A lot of meat eaters eat burgers and hot dogs and processed meat substances. I don't think it's as simple as "meat based" or "plant based". Maybe we all just need to start eating only real food.
THIS WAS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH! Wow thank you for sharing! I had my first baby on March 27 2024 and I’m so excited for more!❤😊 hope to become more food aware for future babies and my body’s sake and my households sake
i had four pregnancies, 3 i ate everything gain a lot weight, was hard to lose from first, kept some from second and third, babies had skin problems. last pregnancy i was carnivore gained a lot less and lost baby weight within 2 months and baby is healthier. love that they leave fruits. i didn’t eat fruits then but i do now.
I wasn’t going to comment but I am. I have always been plant based with all 3 of my children. I never got to see my first placenta, I was told I couldn’t see it…Its was a hospital birth. My last two placentas were healthy and rich in the color. There really is a huge difference with everyone’s body. I feel like you can’t really even “compare” because of this. I hope this woman whose placenta this one is doesn’t feel like shit if she ever sees this…This is really upsetting..
Would you expect any less from a meat company advertisement? I been vegan 8 years and never watch tv. I broke ties with mainstream media long ago. It makes bias very easy for me to spot. This is nothing but a meat industry commercial 😄
I believe that the key to longevity is just balance. Eat everything in moderation, even junk food maybe when you eat out, just for fun ! That’s the quantity that makes the poison!
Please do a video on how to feed children healthy options in the USA with our broken system...are goldfish and cheerios okay? Veggie straws? I read labels everytime I go to the store. I avoid food colors, high fructose, seed oils but avoiding BHT, mono di....seems impossible. I feel like a fail daily with my children's diet.
To me, it looked like they needed to merge the two diets together. The pail one looked washed, and the red one looked too saturated. But I've also never really seen a placenta in person before either, so I wouldn't know how it's really supposed to look color wise.
This is when people will start to realise that it's a matter of core believe not nutrition. We are created beings, we are surely creating our problems and our solutions based in own faith. Just make sure you follow you spirit not your neighbour one. You can actually be vegan or eat just meat and not healthy because half of the things you follow where someone else believe, you still not free from comparation or society dialogues, the more substantial way of eating, is that one that will be at the core value of your spirit. So go in peace and eat what you believe, not others, that's the best for you, and respect others when they do the same, there is enough meat and veggies for everyone, no need to find how's right. Let's love our differences and be fine with that. ❤
Peace begins on your plate. How can one go in peace when paying for horrified innocent animals that were killed for meat? I am not fine with that, when victims are involved, nor do i respect that. And never will.
That ending is perfect. Women are sold the lie that we can be a boss lady and spend decades chasing a career. We think childbearing is not for us and we look down on it UNTIL we are brave enough to start a family. Then everything we thought we knew about love, life, and family is restructured. If we EMBRACE motherhood, it changes us for the better. It is a sacred process and we become Momma with a heart that is stronger, braver, loves harder, and realizes how brief our time on Earth really is. This is what life is about. We are givers of LIFE. Thank you for this documentary on how to nurish ourselves and our offspring. ❤
What this documentary didn't touch on is how a woman is very lucky if she can even consume meat and eggs during the first half of their pregnancy without vomiting immediately. Also, there are natural vitamins you can take. Not all vitamins are synthetic.
I said it before I'll say it again... Name me a vegetarian solution towards my " Crohn's Disease ". The only thing I can eat has been " Fermented Saur-kraut ", but before that? every vegetable made me sick... until I swapped to a Carnivore diet. Red meat / eggs / lactose free milk - and cooking my meat with Ghee. Nothing else worked. So unless every vegan in the comment section wants me to have pain 24/7 and people like with IBD... in fact? the reason I got Crohn's might be partially due to the chemicals used on vegetables and fruits. I will always be thankful to doctors like Paul
If you haven't seen it already, you might also enjoy the channel Kent carnivore
They don't care about your well-being. That comes after what they believe are the rights of farm animals.
Maybe you have problems with your gut if you can't eat fruits/vegetables. And I'm not saying you shouldn't eat meat and quality don't matter in food. I tried fixing my gut with diet and it didn't work. Only supplementation helped me. I think it's worth it to do the viome gut test. And I'm not saying that you should eat the way they say, just use that to see your gut health. Good luck on your health journey!
@@rorowwa1 I suffer from a autoimmune disorder called " Crohn's disease ". My entire life has been eating healthy greens and I ended up diagnosed with it 3 years ago. I tried every diet, and most nutritionists advised cookie-cutter solutions like steamed veggies... which made it worse... The only things that have worked for me has been Redmeat / Eggs / Fish / cooking it with Ghee not sunflower oils and recently? fermented Sauerkraut. Deviating from this which I tried? makes my symptoms reappear from internal bleeding of my intestine due to inflammation... to malabsorption of everything healthy due to a bad gut, which causes problems like fatigue, headaches, joint pain and a series of other issues... Believe you me, I have tried a lot. I miss a lot of what I used to eat, but I rather eat a very limited Carnivore diet? that keeps me healthy or functioning vs risking it for things i used to like which was actually vegetables and fruits
Many vegans are masochists and speciesist against humanity. Their mantra is I would rather die than kill animals and eat them. They then project that masochism onto others and if you don't also believe your health, happiness, and life quality should be virtually non existent in order to save a couple animals from being eaten you're evil. Even the Buddha ate meat. They are deluded
I started to consume grass fed grass finished liver and raw milk in Feb 2023. Found out I was pregnant three months later and we weren’t even trying. Through out the pregnancy, I craved meat, milk and yogurt. Never had morning sickness and worked till two weeks before my due date. I Only gained 20 pounds through the pregnancy. My plan was to free birth but I didn’t have the support so I ended up going to the hospital. They tried to telling me my baby was small, her dead was small, and she would have no hair. They got what they wanted, an unwanted c section. They tried to find something wrong with my baby, but they were unsuccessful. My baby was 8 lbs and 21 inches with a lot of hair. She is breastfed so I consume my liver, meats and raw milk postpartum. I didn’t suffer from PPD! The pediatrician I took her to said she is in the high percentile range. This does work, believe me! The only thing I’ll change next is it will be a free birth next time
the medical world is completely shameless about trying to extract every last penny from you, they really dont have your best interest
@@DolphRthey also lie and say that girls who start having children at puberty can die from complications and tell them to start having children in their 20s.
They wanted your money for the c section. Congrats and health wishes to you and baby
Medical field is an occult here in the USA. They lie and manipulate people for gain. I am carnivore and I am so damn helsthy. Doctors freak out because they know I won't be a life long customer to their sick big pharma drugs.
I free birthed my fourth baby in October,I had to fight social services to prove I was legally allowed to free birth and have an unassisted pregnancy. I had a healthy 7lb boy who gained weight so fast when he was born! I can't remember if it was 1 or 2lb he gained the first week. I ate meat and drank raw milk throughout I craved milk and preferred A1 raw which is the most expensive 😂
Reading the comments has proven to me that this documentary needs more unbiased research. I believe that eating healthy non processed food is key to health.
There's already been research it's just that these people are pushing a more carnivorous diet when the closest thing we ate was the Paleo diet but the Mediterranean diet is superior because it is more conducive with modern lifestyle. Look at centenarians, most eat a more plant based (not vegetarian) diet with animal meat as more of a side than the main dish. The Chinese and Japanese don't even consume milk in their traditional diets.
I agree. We love meat and eggs and raw dairy but that's not the end-all of nutrition. There is a lot more to the differences in those placentas than diet.
I agree. My vegetarian blood is DARK RED + my iron, B12, etc., is excellent. I never had fatigue (or fertility) problems as a vegetarian; I only was fatigued as a meat eater.
I led children and teens in exercises for P.E. classes from ages ~51-60.
My vegan dad was similar in leading young men jogging every Sunday. They could not keep up with him in his 60s! 😅
Biased scare tactics, indeed.
@@donnamcdonald3709chill
My placenta looked in between these two, not nearly as pale as the vegetarian nor as dark as the animal fed placenta. My first placenta was huge weighed almost 8 pounds and my midwife asked if she could keep it to share with her students, she said it was one of the most beautiful healthy placentas and was the largest she had ever delivered. I ate meat 2 or 3 times a week, mostly I was vegetarian, this repeated with my other 2 pregnancies only my placentas were around 5-6 pounds. My last pregnancy I was mostly vegetarian and my midwife thought it was a beautiful placenta and her new midwife was there and she was highly impressed with the healthiness.
I'm not saying this documentary isn't accurate, but I think we would need to see this in controlled groups of plant eaters and meat eaters as well as a medical history among women that are participating. Every persons bodies (health) is different throughout pregnancy. I was low iron in all of my pregnancies, then told by a doctor I would probably be iron deficient later in life, which has proven to be true. My mom was diabetic during her pregnancies only, she was told similar to what I was told. Later she in life she was borderline diabetic.
I think we should remember every body is different and every body needs it's own dietary needs.
Yea i agree it would be nice to see more variables accounted for. While I do believe there is a lot of truth to the nutrient intake, I would appreciate more examples and case studies to create a more complete picture.
Thank you for sharing your experience
If you’re low iron and Iron deficient that tells you that you aren’t eating enough red meat. You’re literally just telling us that your diet was deficient.
Red meat contains HEME iron - the type your body needs and absorbs.
Yes, this is what I tought when I was trying to undestand when I watched it.
Becoming insulin resistant and towards diabetes means that the diet was too high in sweets and refined carbohydates.
Not a father nor a husband, but a just a guy in his 20s and watching this made my eyes teary.
I learnt about this diet all a few months ago and I'm badly working to change my food habits and my surrounding.
Women need to wake up and realize that having children almost 15 years too late is a bad idea. They need to start having children at puberty.
You've got this! Every little bit of change you make is a victory!! I've been slowly healing sugar/carb food addiction. You should check out Sally Fallon from Weston A. Price foundation. She's written many books on lost ancestral food preparation and how we are eating rice, beans, nuts etc all wrong today. She's a huge advocate for raw milk.
@@CalvaryCatalystI've got over my sugar addiction completely, but carbs is something I am still dependent on. I'm working on it now.
I love raw milk that's how I drink and it's taking the place of water for me.
I'll check Sally Falcon and thanks a lot for sharing information mate!
@@amaan-the-analyst You're very welcome!Some carbs are obviously good. Sally Fallon gives a lot of information about how we can still eat some carbs but after a period of soaking and fermenting. It sounds like you're a lot closer to your goal than you realize 😆
Hope you get married soon and become a father who supports your wife in healthy pregnancy and full time motherhood!
I've had 2 vegan pregnancies both my placentas were dark red like the "meat eaters" one and they were BIG the Nurse midwives pointed that out both times. I think this would be believable if they looked at multiple placentas not just one from each category. As a nurse myself i always ask to see the placenta after so it wasn't just what i was told but what i observed.
I think every body has different nutritional needs too, some people are meant to eat more plant based some more animal based, the vegan one in this video could also have had underlying health issues unrelated to diet, or perhaps was only eating like processed foods, or not eating enough, there's many factors
Exactly the point i wanted to make. Comparing two placentas really says absolutely nothing about the two diets. I would take this more seriously if they had compared more than just the two. Heck, even as few as 20-30 different vegan vs meat eater placentas would make me possibly take their claims more seriously, depending on the findings, of course.
I’m the same. I’ve worked in delivery rooms for years and never noticed any difference, always asked to see my placentas when I gave birth, the three vegan placentas looked the same size, color, etc as the two that weren’t in my case. 🤷♀️
@@Ella-kn9qd OR she was too meant to eat animal but was convinced to eat only plants.
I was vegan when I got pregnant and I had severe morning sickness all day and I ended up going back to meat because it was all I could keep down.
I am not against people eating healthy diets that include meat. However, I also want to share my experience with a vegan pregnancy. I choose to eat that way a few years before I got pregnant because after much experimentation with different diets I felt healthiest and had the easiest time controlling my blood sugar on it. I was very mindful about how I ate as I am a type 1 diabetic and an older Mother. 40 yrs old at the time of my pregnancy. My diet did not include grains or any processed food. I ate fruit, root vegetables, beans, lots and lots of greens, nuts and seeds. Several times during my pregnancy I had strangers come up and tell my how healthy I looked and I felt great! My midwife was an older woman with decades of experience. The woman has seen many, many placentas in her life time. She was very pleased to tell me how extremely healthy my placenta looked at my birth. It was an unsolicited comment and I always felt it was a great compliment.
I had been vegan for between 5-6yrs before getting pregnant.
@@rachelkreamer5470Interesting. While I believe eating meat is ultimately necessary and the best way to go, it seems clear that grains have to be the most detrimental food to human health (outside of the obvious sugar/seed oils/processed foods). The elimination of grains is the key thing that seems to make everyone feel better, whether that's because of keto/carnivore or veg.
Really, we have changed to a meat based diet to control type 1 diabetes. I say do whatever works for you, maybe we aren't all the same, i wonder if it's something to do with our ancesters and where in the world we are originally from.
similar story for me ❤ vegetarian /vegan for more than 10 years before having my first at home, super healthy placenta, easy getting pregnant, I am currently pregnant with my 4th, I get my period back no more than a month and a half after giving birth while breastfeeding full time 🌸
oh but I did eat the placenta after every birth
Bro, your channel freaked my wife and I out but in a good way. We have over the past few weeks, completely changed our food habits. We even went through our clothes to weed out anything but cotton. You really have opened our eyes to so much we were ignorant to. Thank you!
How do other fabrics than cotton affect the child during pregnancy, would polyester & wool be bad?
(Genuinely asking)
@@LonneLpppolyester contains PFAs which are “forever chemicals” they stay in the body and incredibly long time and are very hard to get rid of. They may cause issues with conceiving and even while pregnant such as premature babies. I got rid of all my polyester. It’s so hard to be 100% cotton but at least your under garments (touching your reproductive areas) should be cotton only.
Linen is great too! Quality marino wool, flax linen, natural fibers! ❤
great job ❤
Nearly 8 months pregnant with my first animal based diet (not entirely 100% but overall very consistent). Overall I feel amazing, my body does not feel like it is falling apart like in previous pregnancies (this is my 9th baby & I'm 43!) I am so excited to see the condition of my placenta too !!! Drs think I'm pretty nuts, but I also have managed excellent fasting blood sugars (have lowered the fruit consumption in the last trimester), which is something I'd normally struggle with, am sure they'd call me diabetic if I wasn't eating so low carb and meat & fat heavy at this point. Looking forward to meeting my baby! 🥰❤️

Paul, thank you so much for sharing this. As someone who recently became a father last year, it baffles me to see how little attention in the broader health community is put on making sure we get things right from the beginning with the next generation, let alone, solving for the crisis of infertility and being able to have children in the first place. This will be the biggest challenge of our time, and this documentary, alongside your conversations with Calley Means on the baby formula industry, you're sparking an incredibly important conversation that I have yet to see anyone cover.
I hope to meet you one day man, you're doing this world a massive service 🤝
They said the lady had an iron deficiency, which according to studies only about 8% of vegans have, so this lady was a minority. We need to find a placenta from a vegan mom who actually eats healthy for a fair comparison. We also don't know the ages of the women, that could have even been a factor.
As a former breastfeeding peer counselor, I had lots of opportunities for extra education. Do you know who pays for, and therefore has the rights to all of the thorough breastfeeding/milk studies. You guessed it. Big pharma, through certain universities, who use it to advance their formula. They do not allow it to be published in a public way. I heard a professor who works on these studies speak once. There is so much "not public" information, and do much that is yet to be discovered about the importance of human milk.
I ate moderately healthy with no dietary restrictions with both of my pregnancies. I didn’t discover liver/organ meats until the last trimester of my second baby and I could not believe the ravenous cravings I had for liver those last 12 weeks. I was so shocked it wasn’t disgusting to me and I was so grateful my husband was willing to learn how to cook it haha
I ate vegan for all of my pregnancies, and my placenta never looked like that. Come on! Not all vegans/vegetarians have placenta that look disgusting like that. Mine looked dark deep, red, and was super healthy. My kids are brilliantly smart,, and thriving
Same! This is very anecdotal.
I had the same experience. Additionally, eating WFPB enabled me to have two spontaneous pregnancies after I was told by two doctors I would never get pregnant without medical intervention. My children were all large healthy babies, 22” long and over 8 lbs. . ❤
Exactly. You can’t compare two random placentas when we know nothing about how much processed food they ate, how much healthy food they ate. Just scare tactics.
Same... this is clearly a biased Mini "documentary"
Same, I had 0 problems with my pregnancy, gave a natural birth, recovered really fast, am breastfeeding,my baby is happy and healthy, and was born bigger than the majoruty of my meat loving friends babies, I didn't have diabeties just so we are clear.
My baby was 54cm and weighted 4,138kg, when the top avg is 3,7 kg.
This is BS.
Ah and even the doctor was happily surprised that the ambilical cord was really big and thick. 😅

Breast Fed is amazing… the bond with your child is awesome ♥️
BUT ⚠️ CAUTION ⚠️
the MOTHER HAS TO NOURISH HERSELF. Feed yourself well like you are your own child. Honestly it needs to be emphasized that the mother is also recovering and NEEDS nourishment. Insight on what that is needs to be portrayed more often.
I am a homebirth midwife and all I can do is say thank you so much for putting this together! This will be such a great resource for my clients! I cannot wait to share this with our homebirth community.
Do you support girls getting married and start having children at puberty? We are already seeing the consequences of allowing women to become uncontrollable stubborn spinsters.
In fairness though, the film does not explain how nutritionally dense the vegetarian mother's food intake was. I know several vegetarians who don't eat vegetables: unless it's chips/fries and other rubbish, fast food pizzas etc. I agree, the vegetarian mother's placenta did look anaemic, gritty and old. But there are many vegetarian women commenting in this thread about the high quality foods, macros and micros in their well planned healthy diets.
I'm a meat eater, but I think it's perhaps not quite as black and white as portrayed in this excellent documentary.
PS, as a midwife, I once caught a baby from a poor mum who told me during labour that her last meal was some Coco Pops. The baby was very light for dates and the placenta barely bigger than my hand. I commented to the student that when you examine a placenta, you are looking inside the mother's kitchen 😮
Please don't be fooled. Listen to one of the recent podcast of steven bartlett with a fertility doctor. She doesnt recommend eating meat at all. She recommends nuts, avos, healthy oils, whole fat diary and fish 2-3 times per week. And lots of fruit and plants (fibre). Please be wise.
eating like our ancestors simply makes sense.... can't argue against that
society tries to impose so many things on us. it feels like following logic and reason is the only way nowadays
i also eat animal based and i feel SO GOOD, so thank you so much Paul for your great work
I was vegan through my whole pregnancy. I ate a lot of big salads loaded with many types of veggies, beans, seeds, and nuts. On top of veggies I drank vegan protein drinks, fresh fruit smoothies, and fresh squeezed vegetable and wheatgrass juice. I also ate a lot tofu, tempeh, and French bread. I even had a small glass of wine on thanksgiving and Christmas. My cheat snack at the end of my pregnancy was potato chips dipped in bean dip or hummus. For exercise I did about an hour of brisk walking every day. My midwife didn’t know anything about my diet but she told me that my placenta was the healthiest she’s ever seen! I didn’t see it but she said it was very dark red like the one this video is showing from the meat eater. It made me feel so good to hear that because as a vegan I was worried about getting enough protein.
I am vegan, and was vegan during my last pregnancy. I am a mom of 5 children, my last pregnancy was the best. My placenta during my last pregnancy was very healthy as well. Good job mama!
You should be worried about B12 too.
The thing is many vegetarians and vegans eat so much processed foods and don't think about the micros they may be missing in their more plant based diet.
I know a few very healthy vegetarians and vegans. I've also known many throughout my life that struggled with health issues from sleep issues all the way to early onset osteoporosis. The ones that were less healthy usually were the ones who were eating a lot of ultra processed foods.
I think above all else, ultra processed foods is more detrimental to a pregnant woman, and potentially the baby, than if someone eats a more plant based diet. We know that people who eat more meat can be unhealthy too and it's usually those who eat more ultra processed foods that have more health issues.
@@CosmicInternalPeace thank you and good job to you too! ❤️
@@smania7575 ya something that I’ve tried to explain to people is being vegan doesn’t necessarily mean you’re healthy. You could eat only chips and soda and a diet of Taco Bell and still be vegan.
Wow, this is something a lot of soon-to-be mothers should watch. This mini-documentary doesn't only show you how an animal-based diet physically helps with a mother's pregnancy and birth but also shows how a mother can be a free-thinker and different by going back to our ancestral instincts to eat what is truly best for us as human beings. If you go to any OBGYN today their first recommendation for a pregnant female is to prescribe them a heavily processed pill called a prenatal to assist with the baby's development. They never ever recommend for a mother to eat anything that is truly nutrient dense.
Very true.
I am of the persuasion that it doesn't matter if you're plant based or animal based, as long as you keep the ultra processed foods out of your diet. I've known people to cure their myriad of ailments on both meat and plant based dietary changes. But what is the common thread through both? They eliminate ultra processed foods. That's the key.
Thank you Dr. Saldino. I had a diseases that was said to be incurable. I won't name it here because I know this comment will get deleted if I do (It happened before). I went natural, nothing processed at all, and that made me not end up being a statistic. Your videos saved my life. Thanks again.
My girlfriend now is very ill, I try to get her on the animal based diet be she recently said to me "Don't ever bring up that conversation again" I try to support her as much as possible, but she is not letting me help her.
Loyalty is everything for me, That's how I was raised, I seriously don't know how long I can stay watching her destroy herself.
But you gave me the light and i will keep on showing others the path to get out of the darkness. Thanks again.
You simply have to respect her decision in this case since it is her body, even if you don't agree with it. Beyond that you still have the choice to stick by her, whatever you do though you can always be compassionate in the way you do it. Maybe there is a way to introduce certain nutrients while still abiding with her particular diet, but again that can be tough particularly if its a strict plant based or vegan diet.
@@erikahuxley yes. Thank you.
I doubt she actually really loves you all that much if she isn't respecting your attempts to help her, it's a sign that you aren't a good match. I'm saying this because I can tell somewhere down the line disagreements like that can get very out of hand. I really do feel bad for all they brainwashed vegetarians and especially vegans out there that fall incredibly ill from malnutrition
Dump her
Same here! Fr33dom of sp33ch isnt here. Try speaking in a different language
I couldn’t have done it. The sight of meat during my pregnancy made me want to puke. I wanted only fruits and carbs. I had a very healthy baby
Same here
PASTURE RAISED EGGS!!! Not pasteurized eggs 😭how do you mess it up that bad
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She also said to eliminate all polyunsatured fats like what
I kept wondering why pasteurized eggs when the next thing was raw milk. That's a pretty big mistake.
I heard that too, but I think it’s just her accent
Nope, not her accent. Listen more carefully @16:37….she definitely said “pasteurized”. Then, @17:18, she claims that infant formulas contain “hydrogenized vegetable oils”, most likely meaning ‘hydrogenated’ vegetable oils. That label, seen on the screen, has no hydrogenated vegetable oil, as it’s not been allowed to be included in infant formula for some time. Vegetable oils, providing the majority of the fat calories, have been an ingredient of infant formulas, with the organic products containing expeller-pressed to preserve quality and prevent product oxidation.
I had one baby on the standard American diet. She was born with a severe and life limiting genetic disorder. She has been healed on carnivore.
My second pregnancy was no processed foods. He was born premature at 29 weeks, but is extremely healthy.
My third baby, I was completely carnivore my entire pregnancy, and he was born full-term, at home, completely healthy and has grown faster than my other two.
Carnivore and similar diets are incredible 🙏🏼
Well done, Jess. Learning and applying the knowledge pays off as you have proven in your own family.
Wow! The difference in the placenta is incredible.
That side-by-side comparison of the two placentas is crazy. If i had my time over I would do things very differently than I did with my pregnancies. I feel like things would have been very different for at least a couple of my kids who had weight and feeding issues as babies.
I've been animal based for about 3 years, and currently 7 months pregnant. Animal based fixed so many issues (like no longer needing thyroid medication after 12 years, etc.), but this pregnancy has been so easy. I never got morning sickness, or had any other symptoms or problems, aside from some fatigue lately, but I think that could be expected. My average daily glucose is around 85 mg/dL, and all my vitamins/labs were great too. My baby is very active and makes it difficult to get ultrasounds/fetal heartbeat checkups because he moves so much! But, partner health also can make a big difference. My partner been animal based for longer than we've been together, and I have to contribute a lot of this easy pregnancy to his diet and health.
*MEAT IS FOOD, PLANTS ARE MEDICINE*
Food should be medicine and medicine should be food
@@keirag2949 Which is why meat is both food and medicine. Animal based can reverse the bad effects of a bad diet and heal the diseased body.
@keirag2949
Not always, sometimes a poison may neutralize another poison, a medicinal effect, you do not want food for the healthy being toxic.
Hence why we need to legalize 100% indiscriminate Cannabis use worldwide!
I was a holistic doctor practicing for 29 years so over 8,000 clients. And I have been carnivore for 25 years. I totally agree meat is our food plants is our medicine because plants are actually toxic and they caused our body to kick into gear to purge therefore because the plants are toxic they act like medicine. Our bodies actually heal themselves the plants and herbs are actually tools. It's really fascinating. I've taken a shamanic approach to healing and really understand what exactly the toxicity of the plants make them ideal tools to help our bodies heal!😊 I love being on this journey of just learning so much it's mind-boggling! And this group of people especially carnivores we are so open-minded we are not afraid of the truth and we always seek the truth!❤
Watched this while breastfeeding. 34yr old Mother of 7 ❤. When I gave birth in St.Patricks day the mid wife who delivered me was in aww of the placenta 😮 she daid it was amazingly beautiful, his cord was so long thick and strong 💪 ❤

@@LK-jn4uj you haven't answered my question tho.
Ok, i have to share my story. I was mostly plant based since i was 14 and got pregnant at 21. In the 7 years i ate loads of grains,bread ,rice, veggies, fruit and some legumes, beans, vegan yoghurt and oat milk. Somewhere in between i did eat some eggs. Though not much and meat a few times, maybe 5 times in 7 years. I gave birth at 22 and at home. My pregnancy was very easy and i had no problems whatsoever. In the last months of pregnancy i eat mostly raw plant based but also some bread and cooked food. My son was born perfectly healthy, healthy weight and so on. He is now 3 and eats meat since he is 2 years old. So he was mostly raw vegan until 2. He has perfect teeth and almost never gets sick. So i think there is more to health than what we eat... With My second son, I'm now 25, i ate lots of eggs and cheese and some meat. He is sick way more often than my first son. So yeah.. there is more to that. I'm still finding out what kind of food fits us best. For me the key is organic, NO SUGAR, sourdough bread or gluten free baked with buckwheat, fresh and ripe stuff, regionally grown.
Right now I'm trying the animal based stuff, raw milk, yoghurt, meat, many many eggs but i have to tell you as for now i don't feel better. I feel even worse and I'm so tired .
Oh yeah and after my first birth I had enough milk for 10 baby's 😂 it was just running. I breastfed my son for more than 2 years and I got pregnant again after 1,5 years. Still being mostly plant based! I started eating a little bit of meat and cheese while pregnant with my second. So how can you explain that? Vegan baby, perfectly healthy... Home birth, easy pregnancy, lots of milk and so on....
Me too! With organic milk and dairy, I'm all congested, have pimples, and my year-round allergies came back
Thanks for sharing this!
Of course you are exhausted!! You have 2 small kids after you starved yourself for years. What do you think was going to happen? 🤷♀️
If you have ticks in your area, see if he and or you don't have the tick based illness that causes food allergies and makes people sick. They can check it with blood tests. All it takes is one bite from an infected tick
As a carnivore dieter I believed all this until my wife was pregnant with our son. For 9 months she was so deathly adversed to meat I couldn’t even have it in the house. Just the sight, smell, or even thought of it made her hurl her brains out. Forget about organs, those nearly killed her. Needless to say this all completely scrambled my brain. Still searching for a physiological explanation. If anyone has one please help, we’re trying to conceive again.
I have no help or advice but I knew a woman who was like this during pregnancy too. She is a big meat eater but when pregnant, meat nauseated her. Why??
@@nicolekeagle1105 My two cents..perhaps meat contains the vital nutrients a woman trying to get pregnant and her baby need. But like you mentioned, they had eaten meat their whole lives, maybe they had enough. I wouldn't be surprised if they did better with more carbohydrates during this time to "animate" the anatomy, rather than build the blueprints. Hope that helps
@@ZackRamsey14 its just commen sense that she dont want meat during pregnancy becuase the body reject it so in other words its bad, try to eat fish when you are sick you will vomit over the whole place
Interesting! One reason that your did not want to eat meat is because her gallbladder/liver was challenged. Maybe her desire not to eat meat could be called nausea. Gallbladder problem is very common in pregnant women. Years ago just the smell of anything oily made me sick. Years later, I figured it out: I had fatty liver.
@@Lots3say This is a good point!
The thumbnail states "plant-based" placenta, but the lady in the video says it was from a woman who eats a vegetarian diet. Those are two very different diets.
Exactly.
False advertising.
Vegan would be a ton worse.
My mom ate mainly steaks when she was pregnant with me (new york and rib eyes) the placenta was 2 times the size of me!
Also the placenta was very healthy dark red abd HUGE. I had tons of food 😂
Placental calcification is mainly caused by consuming large amounts of oxalates.
Read: "Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload Is Making You Sick-and How to Get Better" - Sally Norton.
She is talking about cacification of placenta: "All Your Oxalate Questions Answered at Meatstock 2024 with Sally K Norton".
I can’t eat meat since pregnancy years ago. I get physically sick. I’m plant based and have never felt healthier. Cured my two chronic illnesses.
Which illness?
Some people have alpha gal syndrome.
Parenthood is the absolute best. Paul you get some shade from the carnivore community because you eat fruit, but I don’t care because to me you are just a nice guy. You do seem to attract the vegetarians tho, kind of a unique mixed space you have here. I’m carnivore, it’s good practice to get along with mixed company. I value a person’s demeanor way above what they eat.
We eat a lot of meat and I've had 4 babies and I have seen all of their placentas. I've also processed many placentas into capsules for other mothers. There is way more to placental quality than what was consumed, and what you see after birth depends on many factors. At what gestational age was the baby born? A later aged baby will have calcifications in the placenta. Was the cord allowed to pulsate and placenta detach naturally? This puts blood into the baby instead of letting it remain in the placenta. C-Section or Vaginal birth? These things all factor in to how the placenta appears.
Thank you for stating this. I feel like this is somewhat misleading, as there are many factors that would determine how the placenta looks.
All of us are watching Paul. And we will keep watching and hoping
Please expose birthing in America. It's a sad state we are in. We need more home births.
Midwives do not have everything needed in case of unexpected emergencies. It's irresponsible at best life threatening at worst.
So many women eat crap this is the best video for many women keep it up Paul
Hope content is helpful! 🙏
Radical health begins with the foods mothers eat during pregnancy.
Yeah because women are the most susceptible to the plant based propaganda.
It's gotten so bad I only find like 5% of them attractive now. Most look unhealthy and try to mask it with surgery or cosmetic application. Country girls are the best because they're not afraid of meat
So many Women eat crap?
Ooh I heard about this documentary but had forgotten about this. I’m glad it popped up.
I still have 8 or so years of fertility left and am not married yet, plus I have celiac disease, so I am highly motivated to have as nutritious a diet as possible! I’m trying to establish dietary habits now that will be effortless to maintain during childbearing years if I ever get that privilege.
This video is very misleading. The woman says her diet was focused on grians and meat substitutes. Of course, she would feel awful. The vegans that are thriving are the ones who base their diet around whole foods: vegetables, dark leafy greens, fruit, spices, wild foods, some, nuts and seeds, and root vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and squashes. If you are focusing your diet on processed foods (such as meat substitutes), soy, other grains and legumes, you won't have a fun time, and you will develop deficiencies. It's whole another story if you already have something inflammatory going on and you develop a food intolerance. If you react to spinach, it means there is something wrong going on in your body, and it's not because spinach is poison and whatnot. People have thrived on diets high in leafy greens for centuries, as long as they are clean and not sprayed with poison.
It's not about vegan vs carnivore/animal based. It's about eating a variety of whole unprocessed clean foods. The ratio animal food to plant food is very individual for every person. These food wars are becoming ridiculous, and if you think there is a global agnda to divide people, you (everyone who participates) are falling for it big time.
Yes this 100% A lot of vegans eat processed food that is so bad for you. Wfpb is the right way.
There are very few long term vegans because people do not thrive, long term.
@@toomanymarys7355 Same as carnivores and animal based, who get heart attacks and strokes
I have a well balanced diet of home grown and locally grown organic produce, and we find the best grass fed and best we can find meats, and backyard chicken eggs. With all of my pregnancies except my twin pregnancy (different reasons) my placenta was incredibly healthy. We evolved to eat animal products
Excellent work. People need to be aware of the benefits. Women are eating for two when pregnant so it's obviously important to maintain both health's and make the best start for your child.
This was excellent! Can you make one on menopause? Thank you!
He also need to talk about how girls should start having children at menarche and not in their 20s and 30s.

@@arielleshort2072 yes he does. I want to hear his opinion on it. How girls having children at puberty is good for their development.
My miracle pregnancy was what lead me to the carnivore/meat based thing. I couldn’t stand veggies/junk food. Placenta was big and deep red. Our baby boy was stillbirth from an undetected infection that I had but he came out lean, long and built like baby Tarzan. I ate fruit milk and dairy like it was going out of fashion couldn’t stand anything else. I’m trying to get that nutrition back to that level to try and conceive again.
I still feel like there are some variables missing. When you look at someone who’s plant-based or vegan we want to also know where they eating things that were 100% in from the Earth versus processed vegan items. I honestly feel like for someone to be finding, calcified debris inside of a vegan placenta they must’ve been eating some form of processed foods. Sometimes it’s not so much whether the person is plant-based or vegan but how much process foods they were eating. Also note that not everyone does well on a carnivorous diet so we have to also take genetics into consideration to determine what’s good for someone and what’s not. We can’t generalize diet across-the-board for everyone. There’s proof that it just clearly does not work that way. If it didn’t work that way, not so many people would be sick with health conditions.
I was a pescatarian during my pregnancy and after. My placenta looked somewhere in between these 2, probably more towards the darker color. My iron was sky high when they tested it.
I took my placenta home, because Im a curious person. 😂
But is is kind of sad to see a healthy and unhealthy placenta next to each other. 😢
Meat is the most important thing for a human being, let alone someone having another human being within them.
This video imo wasn't an accurate representation, they said the vegan mom had an iron deficiency, according to studies only about 8% of vegans are iron deficient, so who ever this lady was is a minority.
She more than likely wasn't eating enough vegetables, nuts, seeds and beans to get her iron. Too many vegans rely on grains which don't have a lot of vitamins / minerals. It is harder to get certain vitamins on a vegan diet, but it's possible especially with juicing.
Just like on an animal based diet, it's hard to get electrolyes like magnesium, which is why so many people end up with heart palpitations and muscle cramps. It's pretty easy to get this from plants, my hemp smoothie has 80% of my mag. for the day.
@@adim00lahOther studies besides that Norway one are showing higher rates of iron deficiency than 8%
How is eating meat the most important thing for a human when the human body literally shows you it's not. Humans don't have claws to hunt for meat like actually animals that has specific claws to eat other animals.

Does she mean eggs from pastured chickens instead of pasteurized eggs?
I was fed soy formula as an infant because I cried as my mother tried to give me breast milk because she said my stomach hurt so much. So as an infant I was given a formula that was called Soyalac. I still until this day cannot have much dairy but she did say I stopped crying when given soy,
Dr Paul thank you from all my heart for your help! I eat much and well and can’t stop losing weight (along with exercise). But please , keep it low between us cause protein based food, especially meat prices, have gone up and will go more as more people learn the secrets of our diet! Unfortunately we can’t all be paleo! Especially the liver!
6 weeks pregnant and started liver as my supplement. No morning sickness at all. I feel full and satisfied throughout the day. If I eat anything off it’s because I wanted to not because I was craving
I did the Brewer diet in my second pregnancy, which was to prevent preeclampsia and other negative outcomes. But I still felt like it was too many carbs that I had to try to fill in, when I all I really wanted were more animal products. My next pregnancy will be animal based!
The placenta comparison was shocking. And the Midwife's comment was that the placenta from the plant-based mother was similar to a smoker's placenta. I think that's compelling evidence.
Important eye-opener for lots of people in a short high-Quality documentary which know one tells you
Ive been a vegetarian for over 30 years. Never had trouble conceiving or with placental health. As a labor & delivery nurse of over 10 years, I've seen my share of placentas. I believe it's the quality of the diet more so than vegetarian vs not. Ive seen MANY malnourished pregnancies of meat-eating patients. BTW, I breastfed both kiddos until 3 years old without problems.
Hey, this intrigues me, what is your diet
This whole vid is just a commercial ad for meat companies. Why do they keep pushing this? $$$$$ trying to keep profits high.
Ive never been a plant based eater though I enjoy occasional vegetarian and vegan meals as a change of pace. When I was pregnant with my son I carved liver which I don't like a lot, spinach salads with all the fixings including eggs, meat, cheese, berries, and lots of other veggies, cheese, fresh fruit including berries, lots of meat, and breakfast protein packed smoothies made with milk, yogurt, and protein powder with berries or PB and chocolate. My only unhealthy constant craving was sour gummies with ice cream. All my cravings I ate when I carved them. At the time raw milk was illegal in my area and I couldn't afford the pasture raised eggs as well on snap and wic. No grass fed grass finished stuff either on my budget. I had anemia flare up bad enough to need iron supplements on top of prenatal and had several complications while pregnant, and almost died in childbirth despite hospital birth because the placenta wouldn't detach causing hemorrhaging. I moved 7 counties while in labor and was in labor well over 24 hours. My baby was healthy as hell. I couldn't breast feed but didn't find out until post birth. Post partum wad brutal and almost became psychosis. My son will soon be 14 and he and I are healthy and happy despite it all and I totally agree eating real food is key
But I don't want to eat 'liver pancakes' 😂
I regret being vegan with my first child. Ate meat with my second. Currently pregnant with my third and it's been the easiest pregnancy so far. My first has terrible teeth and I think it's because I was vegan while pregnant
Does your first have obvious facial structure or jawline differences compared to the other child? Usually bad teeth coincide with bad jaw/bone density etc
I would like to see you compare the placenta of someone who’s been eating raw plant-based diet, no processed foods compared to a meat eater. You can’t convince me by looking at only two placentas, and with not knowing anything about what the “vegetarian” was eating, that eating meat and dairy are better. As there are a wealth of studies and research in regard to people who eat plant based diets live longer and healthier lives.
Wow. Great work here. Thank you for making the case for being nourished properly. Simple. Good. Results.
Lol you don't see the bias? Iarc has classified meat as a probably carcinogen. Why is that?
I was a veg for ten years, then vegan for ten years and had hormone issues. When I began studying Chinese Medicine I learned about organ meat and thankfully started eating quality animal based foods again. I was still heavily into vegetables 😂 but then ate significantly more meat when I became pregnant with both my boys. Organic fresh pressed orange juice was an absolute must though. If I didn’t have it, my mood and energy sank. Like night and day. Also, Pho was just a great option for me during the Phoenix hot summer to stay hydrated, nourished, and cool.
Can anyone shed light on medical professionals telling women to never eat liver during pregnancy due to the high levels of vitA?
medical professionals discourage girls to start having children at puberty. They claim that it can cause "complications".
Anyone?
Ive had three children. My first pregnancy was not vegan , still ate veggies , fruits, beans, nuts(couldn’t gave dairy) felt pretty crappy, lazy. My last two pregnancies were both vegan and I felt great, energetic, healthier. My non vegan baby also weighed smaller than my vegan babies. I’ve been vegan for 15 yrs and my healthiest I’ve ever been. My non vegan child is healthy, but has had some health issues in his life(plus when he was born he has to stay in intensive care for a week before coming home). My two vegan children were born perfectly healthy and still are thriving. I definitely feel my body was meant to be vegan. I couldn’t even have dairy as a baby, I would get so sick when it was given to me:(. When you think about it , it’s wrong for humans to take cows milk away that is supposed to be for the bab calf:(. It’s meant to grow a baby cow into an adult cow.
Makes perfect sense to me ✌️
I just had my third child at home and got a great look at the placenta afterward. I was not strict carnivore but cook 95% of every meal we eat from scratch, meat and dairy based diet and seed oil free. The plant based placenta in this video looks so, so wrong…. I feel terrible for anyone who has been sold and continues to believe that vegetarian food and food products are more healthful than red meat. Truly evil to obfuscate nutritional facts for profit. Most grocery store products are not even food. 😓
Well done!!! 🎉
May of 2023, I reduced my red meat intake and my gut feels the best it's ever felt. I haven't even had so much as a cold since .
Imagine a Standard American Diet thrown into the comparison too.
I had to supplement a lot during both my pregnancies since I was severely sick. I had HG for both of them and could barely keep any food down. Most of what I ate was meat, eggs, potatoes, and lots of shakes.
I had HG also and couldn't keep down any food or drink. Would it be okay to ask if you feel your children were negatively impacted by having HG?
I feel my son was negatively impacted but I also had other complications.
@@l.k1992 no, they were born completely healthy and are thriving
@monicavandeventer5429 that's wonderful to hear that your children are well and thriving. Blessings to your family.
What kind of supplements did you find useful with your pregnancies? I tried taking a pregnancy multivitamin but due to the HG couldn't keep it down. I used a magnesium spray also and I did have a great labour but the actual pregnancy was awful
Had a blast making this! Thanks to everyone who watched :)
I eat lots of grass fed red meat and pasture raised eggs but my iron still sucks!
Trust me cause when I used to eat meat my iron levels were still low during my 2nd pregnancy. During my first I juiced a lot of fruits and vegetables

@@Cyberrjey001 thank you, I’ll definitely do that
Both of my pregnancies, I ate meat and vegetables along with fruits, I had healthy babies, but the doctor stressed me out and I had a lot of anxiety during my first pregnancy (I was 29 y/o) 17 years ago, was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and anemia, after going too many times to doctor’s appointments with the recommendation of the doctor for me being “too old to be pregnant”. Second pregnancy was much better but I didn’t allowed my doctor to do too many tests, vaccines and appointments, prenatal care should not be stressful just because the mother is over 30. Pregnancies in general aren’t a sickness. It’s a marvellous process of creating the miracle of life and we should be allowed to be calm, happy and healthy. Unless the mother has underlying medical issues, I was a healthy woman before pregnancies, and was sad to be diagnosed with problems during pregnancy the first time, (I truly believe that my doctor didn’t want to let me be normal and insisted on causing stress to get a diagnosis) the second time around I did it my way.
I like the mini doc format, Dr S. Good stuff hope to see more
Incredible! Thank you for making this documentary. Animal based eating is changing my life.
Same here ❤
Really interesting watch, I had HG in my pregnancy and couldn’t stomach much at all, the main food that I could keep down and didn’t turn my stomach was fruit, loads of fruit and some raw veg, I had fish and eggs maybe a handful of times, I did however stay away from all sugary process foods and most processed grain food too, I had a super healthy pregnancy and natural water birth, my placenta looked normal, it was the best I’d felt but I think it was due to cutting out all crap, I continued to breastfeed for 2 and a half years, my daughter is now 3 and the size of a 5 year old 😂 I’m hoping to have another one and will keep this information in mind, I think it’s fascinating how different all our bodies, and pregnancies are! I eat meat and fish now but only premium which makes it expensive so maybe twice a week, I’m cautious of low quality meats and fish as I’m not sure they’re beneficial and I do not enjoy eating them
A lot of vegetarians use seed oils and eat highly processed foods. A lot of meat eaters eat burgers and hot dogs and processed meat substances. I don't think it's as simple as "meat based" or "plant based". Maybe we all just need to start eating only real food.
As I’m watching your show, I’m eating liver. Great job document of the year award. People need to be woke.
I bet my mom’s placenta looked like the one on the left 🤣
Thank you Paul for this incredible documentary! 🙌
Wish I would've watched this about 10 months ago...
I think a more in-depth study would be great. I've recently read that placenta health is directly related to the father.
I don't know about my first one, but my second placenta was huge and healthy-looking. Two mostly vegan pregnancies, no meat or fish.
THIS WAS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH! Wow thank you for sharing!
I had my first baby on March 27 2024 and I’m so excited for more!❤😊 hope to become more food aware for future babies and my body’s sake and my households sake
Really cool mini documentary. Thanks Paul and team
i had four pregnancies, 3 i ate everything gain a lot weight, was hard to lose from first, kept some from second and third, babies had skin problems. last pregnancy i was carnivore gained a lot less and lost baby weight within 2 months and baby is healthier. love that they leave fruits. i didn’t eat fruits then but i do now.
I wasn’t going to comment but I am. I have always been plant based with all 3 of my children. I never got to see my first placenta, I was told I couldn’t see it…Its was a hospital birth. My last two placentas were healthy and rich in the color. There really is a huge difference with everyone’s body. I feel like you can’t really even “compare” because of this. I hope this woman whose placenta this one is doesn’t feel like shit if she ever sees this…This is really upsetting..
Would you expect any less from a meat company advertisement? I been vegan 8 years and never watch tv. I broke ties with mainstream media long ago. It makes bias very easy for me to spot. This is nothing but a meat industry commercial 😄
Great documentary, doctor. I hope that it goes viral. 🙂
I believe that the key to longevity is just balance. Eat everything in moderation, even junk food maybe when you eat out, just for fun ! That’s the quantity that makes the poison!
Me and my partner who is pregnant with no.3 just had a lovely sirloin steak witj some mango, pineapple and raw honey as desert.
Please do a video on how to feed children healthy options in the USA with our broken system...are goldfish and cheerios okay? Veggie straws? I read labels everytime I go to the store. I avoid food colors, high fructose, seed oils but avoiding BHT, mono di....seems impossible. I feel like a fail daily with my children's diet.
To me, it looked like they needed to merge the two diets together. The pail one looked washed, and the red one looked too saturated. But I've also never really seen a placenta in person before either, so I wouldn't know how it's really supposed to look color wise.
This is when people will start to realise that it's a matter of core believe not nutrition. We are created beings, we are surely creating our problems and our solutions based in own faith. Just make sure you follow you spirit not your neighbour one. You can actually be vegan or eat just meat and not healthy because half of the things you follow where someone else believe, you still not free from comparation or society dialogues, the more substantial way of eating, is that one that will be at the core value of your spirit. So go in peace and eat what you believe, not others, that's the best for you, and respect others when they do the same, there is enough meat and veggies for everyone, no need to find how's right. Let's love our differences and be fine with that. ❤
Peace begins on your plate. How can one go in peace when paying for horrified innocent animals that were killed for meat? I am not fine with that, when victims are involved, nor do i respect that. And never will.
Thank you for making this beautiful documentary ❤ I truly believe these nutrients are key for optimal health.
That ending is perfect. Women are sold the lie that we can be a boss lady and spend decades chasing a career. We think childbearing is not for us and we look down on it UNTIL we are brave enough to start a family. Then everything we thought we knew about love, life, and family is restructured. If we EMBRACE motherhood, it changes us for the better. It is a sacred process and we become Momma with a heart that is stronger, braver, loves harder, and realizes how brief our time on Earth really is.
This is what life is about.
We are givers of LIFE.
Thank you for this documentary on how to nurish ourselves and our offspring. ❤
Impressive production quality and message.
The difference is STAGGERING!!! This is eye-opening! Please keep up the good work!
That’s amazing!
Excellent cinematography
What this documentary didn't touch on is how a woman is very lucky if she can even consume meat and eggs during the first half of their pregnancy without vomiting immediately. Also, there are natural vitamins you can take. Not all vitamins are synthetic.
Of course they didn't touch on that. It's a biased animal ag advertisement.
