Dr B has changed my life! His book Fiber Fueled, is life changing. I followed low carb diets for years and lost 50 lbs. I also developed diverticulitis and had two colon polyps. I have ibs and leaky gut and because of it I couldn’t eat many vegetables and fruits because they ripped up my stomach. His book made me realize I had Fodmap issues. Once I went through that elimination and then reintroduction of these food very slowly, I am now able to eat these plant diverse foods and all of my ibs symptoms are gone!
This guy a nut job...I'm down 30 lbs eating low carb..Never felt so good in my life...I have no more inflammation in my body...off all pain meds..I feel great ...
@@merncat3384 I went with all meat/fish and avocados for just 2 days. My chronic back pain disappeared! I then introduced foods back slowly, one or two at a time. Found the only thing I'm sensitive to is too much sugar, or too much wheat. I have no problem keeping my sugar very low and my wheat low, too. If u do this, go back in slowly with beans and raw cruciferous veggies. I no longer eat 12 cups of coleslaw, but 2-3 cups is fine. We're all different, tho. 2 of my kids won't drink milk. When I think how adulterated commercial milk is, I think that's a good thing!
@@staceykersting705 and it's interesting you say that because there have been days that I will go without wheat, sugar or dairy and I feel much better but if I have any of those 3 things, I don't feel well which sucks because I enjoy a lot of that stuff
Who else is here after watching Dr. B’s more recent interview with Rich? 🙋♀️ Thank you so much to both of these men. I feel like I’m getting control of my health little by little. Almost 1 month WFPB now. It hasn’t been a seamless transition but I’m seeing benefits, particularly in mood and blood pressure and the weight I can never loose is slowly coming off. I think the key is patience and consistency. Edit to add…just finished the podcast and I am legit picking up Fiber Fueled and his new cook book on my way home today!!!!!!!
@@pauladavies2308 100% more likely to just get refered to as "based" or "woke", now.. only boomers and millenials being ironic would say it (just quantitative observation)
I am now eating over 30 plants a week, I am 67 and Healthy I take no medications, I am not diabetic, and My blood pressure is awesome. My Cholesterol is good. I am feeling wonderful. Thank You Rich Roll, and Will B. I love to Listen to Rich Roll Podcasts, and I love to listen to Dr Will with his genuine Enthusiasm. Although I have been a good weight and have always been healthy, the two of you have changed my life. I am aiming to be stay healthy until I am not here anymore. You have opened my eyes to make better choices every day that will add up to a healthy life. Thank you, Rich and Will. I hope you know that you are changing the world.
OMG this Doctor gets me 100% . We are two brothers different mother's and father's . I felt that way all of my 56 year's until I went plant based and now at 56 year's old I lift heavy weights everyday no off days and I'm losing weight super fast you wouldn't believe unless you saw the before and after pictures. Blessings and more blessings to you both and your family

This was fantastic. I'm on a health journey, MS 22 years, dysbiosis in the past, vegan almost 3 years. Marked improvements! I notice that when I stick with a variety of whole foods I feel the best. Processed vegan foods and recreating old comfort foods don't really work for me. Thank you both for a fantastic podcast. I wish I could get my family on board. But I also know they have to have there oen journey and I will continue mine. It's life draining to try and get people to change. So I will just walk the walk. Which by the way I couldn't do 4 years ago. Now I can hike, bike, jog, kayak and live a more fulfilled life. Still have a ways to go but I'm not where I was. Thank you!! Stay safe🥰 blessings
Hi Rich, this is Joey from Plant Based Dads RUclips show. I listen to you every week and this was by far one of my favorite podcasts that you have done in all the years. I actually listened to it on my iPhone while running like I always do, but wanted to leave a comment here and tell you how captivating Dr Will was on the show. I have heard your guests talk about this issue before, so I am very familiar with everything you have taught us with your many past guest, but this interview was above all of that. So amazing. Thanks for continuing to educate us.
Found Rich 6-7 months ago which led me to the Engine 2 Diet book and eventually to a plant based diet. I'm down 30lbs and dropped my cholesterol 70 points back into the normal range. I've ordered Fiber Fueled and can't wait to get even better. Thanks Rich for all the info.
I’ve been whole foods, low fat vegan for 3.5 months but I’m gaining about a pound a month on it. So still trying to find the right way. I’ve just started taking some probiotics that are supposed to reduce appetite (lactobacillus rhamnosus and l. Gasseri.) Also I’m reducing flour products and eliminating oil and nuts (although with a low fat plan, I wasn’t eating that much of those anyway.)
After coming close to dying from a burst colon abscess, sepsis, and emergency surgery, all I can say is that I wish that I'd had this information before! My colorectal surgeon is fortunately in tune with this stuff and led me to this. In my humble opinion this is some of the absolutely most important information for any living walking human to learn! Dr. Will's stuff is going to save lives, I have no doubt.
The things we call weeds are the food and medicinal plants that our ancestors brought here and planted everywhere they existed. The main reason we only plant and eat certain plants is for groceries. For harvesting, transportation, handling, storage, and display. Foraging is a really good way to get more plants in your diet.
WOW, WOW & WOW.... 1) Every person who wants optimum health should listen. Food is medicine & the gut is the gateway. 2) Dr B is not only articulate but has wisdom beyond his years in describing how we can benefit from a balanced microbiome. He's brilliant & humble in sharing his knowledge of how we can achieve it from infancy to adults. 3) Rich Roll is the most diverse interviewer, thought provoking & best listener(gives his guests plenty of time to answer his well thought out questions.... uninterrupted....refreshing!) Thanks for another enlightening & life changing segment!
Thank you Dr B and Rich Roll for taking the time to share this message. Also thank you to all of the people behind the scenes that work hard to put these amazing podcasts together for all of us to learn new things. 🇨🇦❤️🙏
These were the most beneficial two hours that I have spent in years thank you I am going right now to buy the book and to the market to begin my journey to heal my laundry list of issues! You both rock!!! Thank you!!!
What is so incredible about Dr B is that there is none of " Well I think, or it might happen ETC" He always goes to the Science and that among other things makes him so credible.
Blue Zones is anecdotal,. So no science there. Claiming Hadza (hunter gatherers) are plant eaters (observational) is to ignore the insects, carrion, eggs etc they must eat. The part on TMAO's was based on one 2014 study where the subjects only ate meat or only ate plants, kind of limited. How many were elderly or smokers? What kind of meat? Other experts have condemned beans due to the lectins which are very toxic if not heavily soaked and cooked. Finally the vegan ideology comes out with the concern about animal rights. While right, it has nothing to do with what to eat. It becomes political.
Well thoose people are very few and certainly outliers. The vast majority of actual experts,and every single authority organization on dietary matters agree that we should eat more fiber. To say it's confusing because some fringe outlier quack says one thing, when 99% of all official organizations and actual experts says another, is like saying it's confusing to know if the earth is flat or not because some flat earther told you it is.
He refers to studies that were not well done. Example, the red meat /processed meat reference was a questionnaire and there were no other qualifiers. Smokers, hot dog eaters vs grass fed beef , etc etc.
I have carried so much guilt about needing an emergency C-section and then finding out I couldn't produce enough milk after weeks of lactation consultants and pumping round the clock. When he said it's ok and they will have a good immune system it was like a weight was lifted. He's a little over a year now and healthy, I feed him a variety of veggies, legumes and nut butters, some meat but not too much, still working on fruits lol. Thank you for this podcast, I didn't expect to get emotional from it ☺️
My mother was a smoker, didnt breast feed me and Ive struggled so much with health issues. Specifically GI. I have been trying everything to get well and its so hard even with my strong willpower. 😭
Bought the book and so easy to follow. I've crohns and have been on whole plant based diet for 14 months. It's an ongoing project but I've been med free. This book gave me such a shot in the arm to keep to my healing journey. So jealous of people who have access to such quality doctors. Ireland it's all drugs drugs drugs. No easy journey. Would implore anyone to view more podcasts on Dr B. If anyone has further details on WFPB diets combating IBD I would be most grateful. Big shout to Mr Roll and Dr B on a great discussion. Means the world to many people who are fighting for their health and indeed, their lives even.
I too have crohn's - Dr. Greger advises no yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae) - it's the commercial yeast found in almost EVERYTHING!!! my last colonoscopy was neg for CD. I'll see what happens with next one. Humira fail. good health to you. nutritionfacts.org/video/does-nutritional-yeast-trigger-crohns-disease/. keep up the great work with Dr. B! I've been plant based for about 8 years.
My sister-in-law has a number of autoimmune diseases including Hashimoto's and lupus. She also has Barret's esophagus and chronic constipation. She has been following the paleo diet for 8 years. What blows me away is that, according to her own words, her gastroenterologist never discusses diet with her. She thinks I'm nuts for following a vegan, whole food plant based lifestyle.
Isn’t it just so sad. Not one doctor ever discussed diet with me either. When my son was diagnosed with spondylitis and I asked about diet, the rheumatologist said he doesn’t know much about nutrition. They don’t learn that in medical school. He subscribed Embrel and Methotrexate instead. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
@@allanapinkerton Hi Allana. I'm amazed that the Dr. admitted his ignorance in the area of nutrition. It boggles the mind how they can't seem to understand the critical importance of diet.
As a permaculture farmsteader, the concept of BIODIVERSITY in our microbiome is just so beautiful♥ As above, so below, as within, so without. In every aspect of our lives, the more diversity, the more resilient, energetic, intelligent and compassionate we are! Like the Gaia Principle!! We're all part of one organism!
The problem for most vegans can be all the processed foods that are on the market today, many are turning into these products instead of whole foods. And that´s the reason even so many vegans have health issues and many can give up on the lifestyle because it has never been done properly
Bought this book immediately after listening to this podcast. This was perfect for me. I listed on Monday and then started eating as many different vegetables and after 2 days I already feel amazing. The diversity makes a difference! I can’t wait to keep feeling the changes
@@MCroppered he showed how important variety of plants are and its a vast improvement over just eating the same 7 plants all the time. Diversity is something i know most Americans Don't incorporate in their diet including me. Don't be snotty.
Is it easy to listen to the audio version of the book, or does it contain rather technical plans or instructions or figures so that it should be bought as a print version?
In the Bible people lived on plant based diets and lived for 900 years. I lost 50 lbs in three months on plant based diet…. Thank you for saving my life!!!
I was vegetarian for 15 years. Then I did a year of macrobiotic. Then I did a year being vegan. This was 20 year ago. Before it was a fad. Veganism really messed me up. I think it's good for a fast, or cleanse, for a few months. But it's not a good long term diet. You can simply just eat a lot less meat, and stick to healthy animals that are well cared for and raised locally by a small farmer. Like organic grassfed A2 meat. Like limit your meat portion to 3 ounces per day. And don't just eat the muscle, eat nose to tail.
Rare to find such humility in a giant in medicine. Every middle school science teacher should add this to the curriculum as that seems to be when the biota seem to fall of the gut biome wagon. Thank you, Rich and Dr B!
The best RUclips podcast I’ve ever listened to. As someone who did a swing through paleo>keto> then carnivore after breaking my back, damaging my shoulder and having ruptured appendix I now think I know why I ended up with lung cancer ( I’m a non smoker) 24 months later. I’m fine now 6 months post lung surgery and have gone full circle to vegan. Thank you Rich Roll.
Thank you for interviewing Dr B, Dr Greger and other doctors who promote eating a whole food plant based diet to improve our gut health, prevent diseases, improve our sleep and mood. Question: Have you considered interviewing Jane Goodall? She is an inspirational women and I think you’d do an amazing job interviewing her.
His skin is telling me all I need to know about his gut microbiome 😯 I adopted a WFPB lifestyle from the beginning of the year and flu and headaches are nothing but a memory. I used to be sick almost every week and I got tired of it and made a significant change. My energy levels are always on point and I'm always looking forward to my fueling times coz I now eat delicious nutrient dense foods that are filling. I'm not looking back. Thanks Rich and Dr. B, you're both awesome! 🙂🌱
As an infectious disease physician, I agree a diversity of whole food plants are key to health not only because of fiber but because Whole Foods comes with critical polyphenols, vitamins, minerals, complex carbs, protein and healthy fats to combat inflammation. Specifically for COVID the acute inflammation is vascular and concentrated in the vascular system due to blood clots and thus causing respiratory inflammation amongst other tissues. The critical nutrients that have immediate anti inflammatory vascular effects are polyphenols, vitamins and minerals which are found in whole plant foods that can reduce blood clots and calm vascular inflammation. Unfortunately, The problem with chasing fiber is that the food industry is now making highly processed “health” foods with specific ultra-processed fibers that are devoid of the healthy natural combination of anti-inflammatory nutrients that are in real food. We talk to our body’s immune system via inputs and outputs. The greatest inputs are in the air we breath, the things we swallow and the stuff that contacts our skin.
Brilliant! Already had the book and have seen/heard many podcasts with Dr. B, but this one is my favourite. Didn't want it to end and already looking forward to Part 2
OMG I was Dr. Will at some point and living on Redbull and gym with no change...I experimented with being plant based after deducing that I haven’t tried being vegetarian/vegan and my life started to change within the first week! This is why I recommend these podcasts, you learn and relate and confirm that I am in the right direction mentally and spiritually
Having lived in one of the "Blue Zones" nearing a half a century ago...the one thing I noticed about the elderly natives besides their "age" was their stamina/strength/sexual prowess...they had elders nearing hundred y/o (were stronger than me in my early 20's)..long story short...their eating of wild plants, bugs, feral animals, fresh fruit/flowers w/pollen,freshly caught seafood, seaweeds, turtle eggs & fermented foods and they consumed and inordinate amount of homebrewed alcohol which was strange. Sadly It is all gone now. Introduction of processed foods.
Exactly. We've been lied to that the blue zones were vegan when in reality they ate an omnivorous diet locally and seasonally. Most importantly, when they did eat plants, nuts and seeds they prepared them PROPERLY before eating. Plants contain many toxins that make the nutrients they contain bio-unavailable to humans if we don't soak, sprout or ferment them first.

Been to Sardinia two years ago, in a town named Villa Grande, one of the Blue Zones. This is the place they commonly refer to when they speak of the benefits of "The Meditarenian Diet". Boy was I surprised when I realized they do not eat the "The Mediteranean Diet" at all. This town is on the island of Sardinia, but it is not a coastal town. They are high in the mountain. No fish. Prosciutto and mozarella everywhere, from their domestic cows that are roaming freely on the island. Specialty are pigs roasted in the holes in the ground. Of course, I was a tourist, so I couldn`t see the entire spectrum of the diet of the local population, but it made me aware of how misrepresented things are in the public discourse. And how we are simplifying things when we are not taking into account all the other factors, like clean air, fresh water, and an entirely different rythm of life (in Sardinia, like in the rest of Italy, everything is closed from 1 PM till 5 PM, they are having a "lunch break").
Tonight, without meaning to, I had one of those dinners that makes you tingle, like better than drugs. It was raw broccoli, celeriac (crunch!) and cucumber, a veggie chilli made with kidney beans, pea-based meat substitute, tomato paste and seasonings, pearled spelt and pearl barley, and black bean purée on a wholemeal pitta.
Thank you for this. So educational and it's really helped me in my journey towards veganism. I accidentally started watching these videos on the benefits of a plant based diet and suddenly stopped eating meat/fish/dairy. Lots 4 pounds in less than a week but feel quite energetic and have been sleeping better. I've weaned off thyroxine a year ago because it was making me ill and no matter how much I reduced food consumption, I was still putting on an obscene amount of weight. I worry about my thyroid but am resolute on completely reversing my thyroid problem, hypertension, acne, arthritis, insomnia and cognitive impairment (if that's what it's called). It's been a week and I feel like I've taken a magic pill. I'm not a vegan and never started out to become one but boy! 8 day vegan by accident has made me feel brand new. Thank you.
I'd like to see a friendly discussion between Dr Will B and Dr Saladino!😄 Omg, they have so insanely different opinions on fiber, microbiome and sulforaphane!!😮
The main difference is that Dr Saladino is a psychiatrist, not a trained internist, whilst Dr Will is an internist AND a specialist in what he is talking about (gut health). The Carnivore guys are extremely fringe in the medical community. There is NO Evidence to back up their claims and their OWN LAB WORK shows the dangers of eating the way they do (when they released their labs which showed incredibly high HbA1C and LDL they actually tried to claim that these wern't actually bad things, rather than rethinking their dietary choices).
@@Snagrit Yes, I know! They do reach out to many people though and I was fooled by how scientific he sounded in his book for instance. Needless to say, I got extremely constipated and sick on that diet.😞
So many good debates with Dr. Will and people like Judy Cho, Sally Norton, “Dr.” Baker, Steak and butter Gal. I have a horrible problem with constipation due to a rare spinal disease that had nothing to do with diet . Ate healthy all my life as in no processed, runner, cyclist until this medical condition hit. Tried it all..plants, only meat, nothing working. I don’t know what to eat anymore.
@@lululove6175 I tried it all aswell..but I have come to the conclusion that plants in combination with an already compromised gut has given me a SERIOUS oxalate issue so I have gradually gone carnivore again. Last time I stopped bcs I didn't understand that I was experiencing oxalate dumping. (I have been vegan for ten years and vegetarian for many years.) This time around I know that this will take time but it's not easy to deal with when you have all these symptoms. But I have no choice but to go carnivore bcs my gut can't tolerate any plants anymore. Have you ever considered joining a zoom meeting with Sally? It's awesome!🌺
I am a 65 year old WFPB vegan. I tested positive for covid 2 months ago. I quarantined for 10 days with absolutely no symptoms. Not sure if there is a connection between my eating choices and lack of symptoms. Since then I've had both vaccine shots. Doing well. I have noticed over the years laughter has bolstered my immune system too. At one point I felt no sickness for 6 years. Presently I have been sickness free for about 18 months. Not bad but hoping that will continue.
Why would take a vaccine that could cause harm when your body is already telling you that your immune system is strong. We don't even know the long term effects of mRNA.
I had COVID and had zero symptoms. I was floored when my test came back positive!! I swear it was all due to my good gut!!! My husband eats very unhealthy and was the sickest ( COVID +) I’ve ever seen him in 25 years!! He was horribly sick!!
He’s all good now!! Just really sick for a week then turned the corner!! Thank God!!! The entire house ended up with the virus. Myself and 3 boys (who are very healthy)had zero symptoms . Just goes to show.....🤔
@@CanadianMang so anything pop is great in your opinion. You must be a fan of stupid pop music and those cringy Hollowood movies coz they are so POPULAR 😂😂😂😂😂
This is the best podcast ever! Thank you Rich for being such a great host. You ask great questions, step out of the way and let your guest talk. This doc is very informative, humble and an amazing teacher! I have been mostly vegan for since I was 12. Really had to battle to defend myself, he explains being vegan so well. Not just for our physical health but the planet. This doc is right on!! Thank you! Such a bad ass podcast!!
If you liked this video, you may also be interested in knowing the indicators of a healthy gut! They include: colon transit time of 12-24 hours, type 4 stool on the Bristol stool chart, not having diarrhea or constipation, having 1-3 bowel movements per day, and light-dark brown colored stools!
Well, moderation in all things still applies to eating, imho. Yes, we should get most of our nutrition from plants, but the earth is full of depleted soil that even growing things organically won't help. Soil needs animals to be healthy, from livestock to wildlife, and we need to eat some of those animals to make it worthwhile for the farmer to take the trouble to raise them. Grass-fed beef, pasture-raised pork, chicken, and eggs, along with not tilling and eliminating chemical inputs, is what really raises soil from the dead, complete with the microbiome the soil needs, just as we humans need a healthy microbiome. We don't need to eat meat all the time. A few times a week would be more than adequate, especially if it's grown healthily and humanely on regenerative farms. Livestock is the only thing that can transform deserts back into grasslands, which then become instead of heaters of the planet, coolers of the planet as the soil is able to suck in water and carbon, the two main components of life on earth. Even as Dr. B pointed out, the African tribe that still hunts and gathers still has meat when they can get it, which apparently does them no harm. Without animals, we wouldn't have plants. We can't just abandon the practice of growing livestock and think that's going to benefit the earth or our microbiomes. All life evolved together, and nature itself shows us that all life exists on the remains of other life. Take it or leave it. I agree that most of our food should be plants, but a little meat or dairy, when raised properly, couldn't hurt and could really help.
My experience crossing over to full plant based involved a twelve day fast first. After the fast I only ate plant based, the transition was seamless and almost instinctive. No side effects, cravings, gas etc etc. Just well being. :) Thanks for another good one Rich!
This honestly seems like a really good idea. Starve all the bacteria then feed the one’s you want to flurish. I wonder if there’s scientific literature on your approach? 🤔 Glad it worked for you! I’m almost to 1 month and still get a lot of gas, headaches and the occasional brain fog. That said, my blood pressure went from boarder line hypertension to totally normal and my mood is amazing! I feel so much better mentally and I’m loosing about a pound a week so it’s definitely going in the right direction.
If you liked this video, you may also want to know about some mistakes people may make in trying to fix gut health! They include: adding a probiotic to help with excessive gas and bloating (that's just one piece of the puzzle), eliminating a food for 4 days and expecting it solve the issue (will take at least 2 weeks), and not thinking about root causes!
I was engaged here until we got to the part about the study on how animal products essentially destroy the gut microbiome. Why is no one asking what quality of animal products were used? Of course if you study a plant-based diet for five days and then compare it to the standard American animal proteins sources you're obviously going to find and come to the conclusion that a plant-based lifestyle is the only way to go. Can we redo the study but with good clean sources of meat and dairy? This man sounded so smart up until this point. Seems like a very obvious question to ask. There was a lot of really valuable information in this video so I'm going to continue watching it until the end. I really hope they address this but couldn't help but come on here for a comment
I have watched this twice since it came out, and I got more from it the second time. If I could give this more thumbs up , I would give it a ten star rating!! Bravo!
He said that he was putting broccoli sprouts in his (hot) soup to get enough sulforaphane. The problem is that the broccoli sprouts contain glucoraphanin and not sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is made when you chew on the broccoli sprouts and the cells are being desroyed. Then the glucoraphanin comes in contact with an enzyme myrosinase and the enzyme converts the glucoraphanin into sulforaphane (this is part of the defence system of the broccoli plant). Enzymes are destroyed when they are heated over 70 degrees Celsius (158 F). When you put broccolisprouts in your hot soup, no sulforaphane is made and you lost your nutritional advantage.
Great comment, I didn't know that! But it is the same with the probiotics in miso, so wait until the soup has cooled down a bit before you put miso and broccoli in, and we will get all the good stuff ;)
If you break the cell wall by making a slurry in a blender then pour it into the soup after removing it from the heat then PRESTO , you will reap the benefits. You can also crush black mushroom seeds into powder and sprinkle over any cooked casifrious veggie . Eyes mind heart and soul wide open no fear..... We GUT this .
@@dinomiles7999 After making the slurry you have to wait for about 20 minutes or so to let the enzymes do their work. It does not work if you put it in immediately. The enzymes can't do their work in your stomach, because they are neutralized as soon as they enter the soup.
Is it possible that we a human beings are so diverse, that it is very rarely a 'one size fits all' when it comes to diet? What works for you may not work for me. I take what I can from a variety of informative sources, and I don't think anyone will argue that eating predominantly processed foods, be they plant based or animal based will probably cause trouble eventually. To imply that everyone thrives on plant based only or everyone will thrive on low-carb only, seems ridiculous. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be one body of research that can prove either one definitively. I'm inclined to stick with an omnivorous diet of whole foods and good quality water that is chlorine free. The world of diet and nutrition continues to be a shit-show. What works for you? It's not always easy to figure it out, but I guess it's about the journey as much as the destination.
I will say once I got to the part of him talking about "training your gut" I became incredibly skeptical. My own anecdotal experience is that's not the case. I suffered for years trying to power through dietary issues with certain foods. They didn't get better. Some don't simply cause me to have a little bit more gas, they give me hours, even back to back days worth, to the point of pain and disruption of day to day living. If certain fiber feed certain bacteria, why would eating a small amount somehow be training your gut better than eating a regular amount? His argument doesn't really make sense. I'm at the point where after having replaced refined wheat with whole grains to be healthy, and having dealt with it for _10 years_, I've cut them from my diet completely.
@@user-sd8ri3ep2o Just sharing what works in my clinic. Obviously people who see me, I don’t just “train their gut.” I start by making sure there is not a medical reason for their food sensitivity. Their often is. Dietary modification comes later.
Gareth, it’s a good question. By no means am I suggesting a one size fits all. There are 300,000 edible plants and if you read my book I advocate a plant predominant diet that leaves room to wiggle based on your preferences and bio individuality. I personally thrive on a 100% plant based argument but it’s possible to be healthy without necessarily being 100%. The strongest arguments for 100% for all are the ethics and environment. That said, this is our biology. There will be examples that exist of people who smoke like a chimney and drink like a fish, but we can’t predict who those people are and for most of us that would shorten their ur life substantially. We know that there are certain foods that increase our risk of the latent disease - heart disease, cancer, stroke, kidney disease, Alzheimer’s. Short term feeling good isn’t the same as protection from these latent diseases. While there will be some who can eat stuff that we agree is unhealthy and get away with it, we can’t predict who those people are and for most of us that’s a bad idea. The ideal solution is an antiinflammatory diet (ie plant predominant) to attenuate those risks. Not one size fits all, but accepting of our biology. Hope that helps.
I would like to ask Dr Gundry, Dr McDougall, Dr Neal Bernard and Dr Will B to have an open panel discussion, possibly via you tube. That would be so informative and a phenomenal learning experience. Please, I am an obese nurse working with my diet. learning as much as I can to be healthy. Help me and many others gentleman, get together, I beg you.
Gundry is a quack. If you want to lose weight don't listen to him, he recommends drinking a bottle of oil every day. That's instant quack material right there.
This is like so informative! Wow my mind is blown. I’ve been going back to meat on and off for a year now. This has totally changed my way of eating to heal my gut, cravings and depression. Great podcast! Thank you so much.
Absolutely incredible, info packed episode! I paused briefly halfway through to purchase Fiber Fueled on Audible. Loved the episode and I can't wait to start the book!
I agree with you completely, Richard M. I appreciate the info about getting a great plant diversity, but we should include animal foods as well...which ALSO contribute SCFAs. 🤷🏻♀️
I'm a Pathologist, so I will help Dr. Bulsiewicz with the description of the immune component of the gut. As he said, the gut mucosa is lined by an epithelial layer. Directily under this layer is the lamina propria which is a loose connective tissue containing Glands, blood vessels and lots of immune cells such as lymphocytes and macrophages with smaller numbers of eosinophils. Neutrophils aren't usually present unless there is active Inflammation occurring. Throughout the mucosa of colon and small intestine, one will usually find a number of small, reactive lymphoid Aggregates which are similar to a tiny lymph node, but they are lacking a capsule like a true lymph node and those are usually found in the submucosa. I hope this helps.
Trauma healing...EMDR and brainspotting therapy and hypnosis...all helped me and alot has cleared. No more trauma responses. Also, cut out coffee and realized caffeine was causing anxiety/stress eating.
حقیقتا یکی از مهمترین تحقیقاتی است که من تا بامروز شنیدم؛ مملو از امیدواری؛ اکنون سبزیجات و میوه بخورید ۶ ساعت دیگر میلیاردها باکتری خوب در روده خواهید داشت! یا کباب و پیدزا وکیک بخورید؛ ۶ ساعت بعد میلیاردها باکتری خوب در روده خواهید کشت و شکم و باسن تان ۲ سانت بزرگتر میشود
Such a great conversation. I have so many questions! One is about seasonal foods. You mention the importance of diversity but in certain climates, like where I am in Northern Europe, diversity in a large section of the year is reduced (because of the cooler climate). That was the motivation to relying (a long time ago) on animal products because, before transportation and cheap oil, it was easier to keep an animal than it was to process all foods grown during the warmer season so there was sufficient food. I'm a land worker and the bets on animals surviving, especially during changing climate, are higher than crops. This season we lost 800 squash plants in a storm. Luckily, we live in a culture where we can rely on imports and others. I'd love your guys thoughts. Do you think there's absolutely no place for including eggs, cheese, fish, chicken, meat...etc? Perhaps the American model is slightly different to here in the UK. Thanks!!
Dr. B speaks in a way that penetrated my grass-fed, wild game, meat eating soul. I definitely did not want to let this point of view in, again. As many of us have played in Vegetarian-Vegan-Raw Food-GlutenFree-GlutenFree but better-Keto (Carnivore, never spoken to me, personally),I had found complete joy in the mostly Keto-Organic sandbox. I thought I had reached diet Nirvana...then enter Dr. B's voice on The Rich Roll Podcast.
good stuff, some great information but a bit too much vegan propaganda midway onwards if you are eating a diet primarily from the agricultural industry it'll be laced with chemicals and antibiotics grow as much of your own food as possible or forage it from the wild predators in nature have a microbiome and they get it from somewhere, a lion doesn't go chewing on some plants, meat has benefits but you should try and stay away from the lower grade processed rubbish and eat less due to poor farming practices
30 different plants per week! Maybe this harkens back to our hunter gatherer days when we moved around to different locations depending on the season...
This is such a great interview. Dr. B is such a captivating speaker, the time just flew by. Thank you so much Rich and Dr. B for the incredible value that you add to our lives. ❤️❤️
Your past Dr. B episode got me into your podcast and I’ve been listenting to every single episode from that on! Thank you, Roll, for your work! You change the world!
My gut tells me this is good stuff! 🌱💪🏽
Underrated comment.
Yeah your comment is the shit.
Dr B has changed my life! His book Fiber Fueled, is life changing. I followed low carb diets for years and lost 50 lbs. I also developed diverticulitis and had two colon polyps. I have ibs and leaky gut and because of it I couldn’t eat many vegetables and fruits because they ripped up my stomach. His book made me realize I had Fodmap issues. Once I went through that elimination and then reintroduction of these food very slowly, I am now able to eat these plant diverse foods and all of my ibs symptoms are gone!
You're describing me but what do you eat during the elimination process? I feel starved.
This guy a nut job...I'm down 30 lbs eating low carb..Never felt so good in my life...I have no more inflammation in my body...off all pain meds..I feel great ...
@@merncat3384 I went with all meat/fish and avocados for just 2 days. My chronic back pain disappeared! I then introduced foods back slowly, one or two at a time. Found the only thing I'm sensitive to is too much sugar, or too much wheat. I have no problem keeping my sugar very low and my wheat low, too. If u do this, go back in slowly with beans and raw cruciferous veggies. I no longer eat 12 cups of coleslaw, but 2-3 cups is fine. We're all different, tho. 2 of my kids won't drink milk. When I think how adulterated commercial milk is, I think that's a good thing!
@@staceykersting705 Thank you so much!!
@@staceykersting705 and it's interesting you say that because there have been days that I will go without wheat, sugar or dairy and I feel much better but if I have any of those 3 things, I don't feel well which sucks because I enjoy a lot of that stuff
Who else is here after watching Dr. B’s more recent interview with Rich? 🙋♀️
Thank you so much to both of these men. I feel like I’m getting control of my health little by little. Almost 1 month WFPB now. It hasn’t been a seamless transition but I’m seeing benefits, particularly in mood and blood pressure and the weight I can never loose is slowly coming off. I think the key is patience and consistency.
Edit to add…just finished the podcast and I am legit picking up Fiber Fueled and his new cook book on my way home today!!!!!!!
I am only 5 minutes in and Amen someone brought up trauma!!!!!!! Trauma impacts so much of our health, thank you for brining this up.

This was fantastic. I'm on a health journey, MS 22 years, dysbiosis in the past, vegan almost 3 years. Marked improvements! I notice that when I stick with a variety of whole foods I feel the best. Processed vegan foods and recreating old comfort foods don't really work for me.
Thank you both for a fantastic podcast. I wish I could get my family on board. But I also know they have to have there oen journey and I will continue mine. It's life draining to try and get people to change. So I will just walk the walk. Which by the way I couldn't do 4 years ago. Now I can hike, bike, jog, kayak and live a more fulfilled life. Still have a ways to go but I'm not where I was. Thank you!! Stay safe🥰 blessings

Hi Rich, this is Joey from Plant Based Dads RUclips show. I listen to you every week and this was by far one of my favorite podcasts that you have done in all the years. I actually listened to it on my iPhone while running like I always do, but wanted to leave a comment here and tell you how captivating Dr Will was on the show. I have heard your guests talk about this issue before, so I am very familiar with everything you have taught us with your many past guest, but this interview was above all of that. So amazing. Thanks for continuing to educate us.

Found Rich 6-7 months ago which led me to the Engine 2 Diet book and eventually to a plant based diet. I'm down 30lbs and dropped my cholesterol 70 points back into the normal range. I've ordered Fiber Fueled and can't wait to get even better. Thanks Rich for all the info.
Rich is the real deal .....fantastic podcasts with fantastic specialists .
Check out Rich’s book Finding Ultra. There are sections that will make you cry.
I’ve been whole foods, low fat vegan for 3.5 months but I’m gaining about a pound a month on it. So still trying to find the right way. I’ve just started taking some probiotics that are supposed to reduce appetite (lactobacillus rhamnosus and l. Gasseri.) Also I’m reducing flour products and eliminating oil and nuts (although with a low fat plan, I wasn’t eating that much of those anyway.)

@@furg some doctors are genetically prone to being overweight or there might be other things going on. Doctors have flaws since they are just like us.
After coming close to dying from a burst colon abscess, sepsis, and emergency surgery, all I can say is that I wish that I'd had this information before! My colorectal surgeon is fortunately in tune with this stuff and led me to this. In my humble opinion this is some of the absolutely most important information for any living walking human to learn! Dr. Will's stuff is going to save lives, I have no doubt.
I didn't know the colon can burst.. happy you made it.. thanks for posting
The things we call weeds are the food and medicinal plants that our ancestors brought here and planted everywhere they existed.
The main reason we only plant and eat certain plants is for groceries. For harvesting, transportation, handling, storage, and display.
Foraging is a really good way to get more plants in your diet.
Well said. I am learning about foraging right now
WOW, WOW & WOW....
1) Every person who wants optimum health should listen. Food is medicine & the gut is the gateway.
2) Dr B is not only articulate but has wisdom beyond his years in describing how we can benefit from a balanced microbiome. He's brilliant & humble in sharing his knowledge of how we can achieve it from infancy to adults.
3) Rich Roll is the most diverse interviewer, thought provoking & best listener(gives his guests plenty of time to answer his well thought out questions.... uninterrupted....refreshing!)
Thanks for another enlightening & life changing segment!
Thank you Dr B and Rich Roll for taking the time to share this message. Also thank you to all of the people behind the scenes that work hard to put these amazing podcasts together for all of us to learn new things. 🇨🇦❤️🙏
Gotta love a doc who wears his Nirvana t-shirt to work!

These were the most beneficial two hours that I have spent in years thank you I am going right now to buy the book and to the market to begin my journey to heal my laundry list of issues! You both rock!!! Thank you!!!
What is so incredible about Dr B is that there is none of " Well I think, or it might happen ETC" He always goes to the Science and that among other things makes him so credible.
Confusing once again. You have another group of people that say fiber is useless and might harm you lol
@@porkyo123 There are opinions and there is Science.
Blue Zones is anecdotal,. So no science there. Claiming Hadza (hunter gatherers) are plant eaters (observational) is to ignore the insects, carrion, eggs etc they must eat. The part on TMAO's was based on one 2014 study where the subjects only ate meat or only ate plants, kind of limited. How many were elderly or smokers? What kind of meat? Other experts have condemned beans due to the lectins which are very toxic if not heavily soaked and cooked. Finally the vegan ideology comes out with the concern about animal rights. While right, it has nothing to do with what to eat. It becomes political.
@@madwoof3932 You could say the same thing about animals. Rattle sneaks for example have toxins.
Well thoose people are very few and certainly outliers. The vast majority of actual experts,and every single authority organization on dietary matters agree that we should eat more fiber.
To say it's confusing because some fringe outlier quack says one thing, when 99% of all official organizations and actual experts says another, is like saying it's confusing to know if the earth is flat or not because some flat earther told you it is.
Great episode. Broccoli sprouts. 🌱
This is one of the best podcasts Rich has ever done.
Indeed
He refers to studies that were not well done. Example, the red meat /processed meat reference was a questionnaire and there were no other qualifiers. Smokers, hot dog eaters vs grass fed beef , etc etc.

I have carried so much guilt about needing an emergency C-section and then finding out I couldn't produce enough milk after weeks of lactation consultants and pumping round the clock. When he said it's ok and they will have a good immune system it was like a weight was lifted. He's a little over a year now and healthy, I feed him a variety of veggies, legumes and nut butters, some meat but not too much, still working on fruits lol. Thank you for this podcast, I didn't expect to get emotional from it ☺️
My mother was a smoker, didnt breast feed me and Ive struggled so much with health issues. Specifically GI. I have been trying everything to get well and its so hard even with my strong willpower. 😭
Bought the book and so easy to follow. I've crohns and have been on whole plant based diet for 14 months. It's an ongoing project but I've been med free. This book gave me such a shot in the arm to keep to my healing journey. So jealous of people who have access to such quality doctors. Ireland it's all drugs drugs drugs. No easy journey. Would implore anyone to view more podcasts on Dr B. If anyone has further details on WFPB diets combating IBD I would be most grateful. Big shout to Mr Roll and Dr B on a great discussion. Means the world to many people who are fighting for their health and indeed, their lives even.
Smoothie Shred, if you haven't seen it already, not specifically for IBD but people are healing all sorts of things in there, search in the group

My sister-in-law has a number of autoimmune diseases including Hashimoto's and lupus. She also has Barret's esophagus and chronic constipation. She has been following the paleo diet for 8 years. What blows me away is that, according to her own words, her gastroenterologist never discusses diet with her. She thinks I'm nuts for following a vegan, whole food plant based lifestyle.
Isn’t it just so sad. Not one doctor ever discussed diet with me either. When my son was diagnosed with spondylitis and I asked about diet, the rheumatologist said he doesn’t know much about nutrition. They don’t learn that in medical school. He subscribed Embrel and Methotrexate instead. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

Hi Allana. I'm amazed that the Dr. admitted his ignorance in the area of nutrition. It boggles the mind how they can't seem to understand the critical importance of diet.
S. W. Caldwell I’m not sure I understand your comment.... “tv”.
As a permaculture farmsteader, the concept of BIODIVERSITY in our microbiome is just so beautiful♥ As above, so below, as within, so without. In every aspect of our lives, the more diversity, the more resilient, energetic, intelligent and compassionate we are! Like the Gaia Principle!! We're all part of one organism!
Aaaaaaaaahhhh!!! You GET IT!!!! Can we start a group?! 💕
Did the interviewer just say the book was "easily digestible" ? Yes.Yes he did.
Haha I smiled hearing that too!
One of the most important podcasts ever! Thank you again, RR.
The problem for most vegans can be all the processed foods that are on the market today, many are turning into these products instead of whole foods. And that´s the reason even so many vegans have health issues and many can give up on the lifestyle because it has never been done properly
Bought this book immediately after listening to this podcast. This was perfect for me. I listed on Monday and then started eating as many different vegetables and after 2 days I already feel amazing. The diversity makes a difference! I can’t wait to keep feeling the changes
He uncovered that vegetables are good for you, did he?
@@MCroppered he showed how important variety of plants are and its a vast improvement over just eating the same 7 plants all the time. Diversity is something i know most Americans Don't incorporate in their diet including me. Don't be snotty.
Is it easy to listen to the audio version of the book, or does it contain rather technical plans or instructions or figures so that it should be bought as a print version?
I've just purchased the book too, and will also pick up the audio.
@@therealfinnaspring8585 Have you stuck with the plant diversity? How's it been?
In the Bible people lived on plant based diets and lived for 900 years. I lost 50 lbs in three months on plant based diet…. Thank you for saving my life!!!
I was vegetarian for 15 years. Then I did a year of macrobiotic. Then I did a year being vegan. This was 20 year ago. Before it was a fad. Veganism really messed me up. I think it's good for a fast, or cleanse, for a few months. But it's not a good long term diet.
You can simply just eat a lot less meat, and stick to healthy animals that are well cared for and raised locally by a small farmer. Like organic grassfed A2 meat. Like limit your meat portion to 3 ounces per day. And don't just eat the muscle, eat nose to tail.
Veganism is a complete scam. Overpopulation is the problem - creating a need for processing of animals.
Rare to find such humility in a giant in medicine. Every middle school science teacher should add this to the curriculum as that seems to be when the biota seem to fall of the gut biome wagon. Thank you, Rich and Dr B!
The best RUclips podcast I’ve ever listened to. As someone who did a swing through paleo>keto> then carnivore after breaking my back, damaging my shoulder and having ruptured appendix I now think I know why I ended up with lung cancer ( I’m a non smoker) 24 months later. I’m fine now 6 months post lung surgery and have gone full circle to vegan. Thank you Rich Roll.

@@courtneywhite8470 Hi therefore, Whole food plant-based.
❤️💚🌱🕊As a WFPB clinical microbiologist MD, I salute you both with my deepest respect. Thank you for this amazing interview 🕊🌱💚❤️🙋🏻♀️
I had been hoping to find Dr. B on your podcast and today I was satisfied! So excited. I’ve already read the book and found it so valuable.
As an infectious disease physician, I agree a diversity of whole food plants are key to health not only because of fiber but because Whole Foods comes with critical polyphenols, vitamins, minerals, complex carbs, protein and healthy fats to combat inflammation. Specifically for COVID the acute inflammation is vascular and concentrated in the vascular system due to blood clots and thus causing respiratory inflammation amongst other tissues. The critical nutrients that have immediate anti inflammatory vascular effects are polyphenols, vitamins and minerals which are found in whole plant foods that can reduce blood clots and calm vascular inflammation. Unfortunately, The problem with chasing fiber is that the food industry is now making highly processed “health” foods with specific ultra-processed fibers that are devoid of the healthy natural combination of anti-inflammatory nutrients that are in real food. We talk to our body’s immune system via inputs and outputs. The greatest inputs are in the air we breath, the things we swallow and the stuff that contacts our skin.
Brilliant! Already had the book and have seen/heard many podcasts with Dr. B, but this one is my favourite. Didn't want it to end and already looking forward to Part 2
OMG I was Dr. Will at some point and living on Redbull and gym with no change...I experimented with being plant based after deducing that I haven’t tried being vegetarian/vegan and my life started to change within the first week! This is why I recommend these podcasts, you learn and relate and confirm that I am in the right direction mentally and spiritually
they are so good in so many ways! congrats on the health change- that is awesome 💙
Where are the podcasts of Dr B?
Eyes mind heart and soul wide open no fear
Having lived in one of the "Blue Zones" nearing a half a century ago...the one thing I noticed about the elderly natives besides their "age" was their stamina/strength/sexual prowess...they had elders nearing hundred y/o (were stronger than me in my early 20's)..long story short...their eating of wild plants, bugs, feral animals, fresh fruit/flowers w/pollen,freshly caught seafood, seaweeds, turtle eggs & fermented foods and they consumed and inordinate amount of homebrewed alcohol which was strange. Sadly It is all gone now. Introduction of processed foods.
Exactly. We've been lied to that the blue zones were vegan when in reality they ate an omnivorous diet locally and seasonally. Most importantly, when they did eat plants, nuts and seeds they prepared them PROPERLY before eating. Plants contain many toxins that make the nutrients they contain bio-unavailable to humans if we don't soak, sprout or ferment them first.
Was it Okinawa? Curious as to which blue zone....and their feast/fast/portion sizes.

Been to Sardinia two years ago, in a town named Villa Grande, one of the Blue Zones. This is the place they commonly refer to when they speak of the benefits of "The Meditarenian Diet". Boy was I surprised when I realized they do not eat the "The Mediteranean Diet" at all. This town is on the island of Sardinia, but it is not a coastal town. They are high in the mountain. No fish. Prosciutto and mozarella everywhere, from their domestic cows that are roaming freely on the island. Specialty are pigs roasted in the holes in the ground. Of course, I was a tourist, so I couldn`t see the entire spectrum of the diet of the local population, but it made me aware of how misrepresented things are in the public discourse. And how we are simplifying things when we are not taking into account all the other factors, like clean air, fresh water, and an entirely different rythm of life (in Sardinia, like in the rest of Italy, everything is closed from 1 PM till 5 PM, they are having a "lunch break").
Dr. B is a brilliant communicator/ teacher! I love this man!! A real Healer!excellent interview! Dr.B really cares about others.Awesome book too!!
Yes, he really cares 🌸
Trauma didnt seem to be something that was expected to be discussed.
and it got very deep and dark for a short period only to bring the phenix out of the ashes
Tonight, without meaning to, I had one of those dinners that makes you tingle, like better than drugs. It was raw broccoli, celeriac (crunch!) and cucumber, a veggie chilli made with kidney beans, pea-based meat substitute, tomato paste and seasonings, pearled spelt and pearl barley, and black bean purée on a wholemeal pitta.
Thank you for this. So educational and it's really helped me in my journey towards veganism. I accidentally started watching these videos on the benefits of a plant based diet and suddenly stopped eating meat/fish/dairy. Lots 4 pounds in less than a week but feel quite energetic and have been sleeping better. I've weaned off thyroxine a year ago because it was making me ill and no matter how much I reduced food consumption, I was still putting on an obscene amount of weight. I worry about my thyroid but am resolute on completely reversing my thyroid problem, hypertension, acne, arthritis, insomnia and cognitive impairment (if that's what it's called). It's been a week and I feel like I've taken a magic pill. I'm not a vegan and never started out to become one but boy! 8 day vegan by accident has made me feel brand new. Thank you.
I'd like to see a friendly discussion between Dr Will B and Dr Saladino!😄 Omg, they have so insanely different opinions on fiber, microbiome and sulforaphane!!😮
its easy, salad should eat more salads like his name says
The main difference is that Dr Saladino is a psychiatrist, not a trained internist, whilst Dr Will is an internist AND a specialist in what he is talking about (gut health). The Carnivore guys are extremely fringe in the medical community. There is NO Evidence to back up their claims and their OWN LAB WORK shows the dangers of eating the way they do (when they released their labs which showed incredibly high HbA1C and LDL they actually tried to claim that these wern't actually bad things, rather than rethinking their dietary choices).
@@Snagrit Yes, I know! They do reach out to many people though and I was fooled by how scientific he sounded in his book for instance. Needless to say, I got extremely constipated and sick on that diet.😞
So many good debates with Dr. Will and people like Judy Cho, Sally Norton, “Dr.” Baker, Steak and butter Gal. I have a horrible problem with constipation due to a rare spinal disease that had nothing to do with diet . Ate healthy all my life as in no processed, runner, cyclist until this medical condition hit. Tried it all..plants, only meat, nothing working. I don’t know what to eat anymore.
@@lululove6175 I tried it all aswell..but I have come to the conclusion that plants in combination with an already compromised gut has given me a SERIOUS oxalate issue so I have gradually gone carnivore again. Last time I stopped bcs I didn't understand that I was experiencing oxalate dumping. (I have been vegan for ten years and vegetarian for many years.) This time around I know that this will take time but it's not easy to deal with when you have all these symptoms. But I have no choice but to go carnivore bcs my gut can't tolerate any plants anymore. Have you ever considered joining a zoom meeting with Sally? It's awesome!🌺
I am a 65 year old WFPB vegan. I tested positive for covid 2 months ago. I quarantined for 10 days with absolutely no symptoms. Not sure if there is a connection between my eating choices and lack of symptoms. Since then I've had both vaccine shots. Doing well. I have noticed over the years laughter has bolstered my immune system too. At one point I felt no sickness for 6 years. Presently I have been sickness free for about 18 months. Not bad but hoping that will continue.
Why would take a vaccine that could cause harm when your body is already telling you that your immune system is strong. We don't even know the long term effects of mRNA.
This Doc is the kind of medical professional our world needs ❤
My microbiome is sending message to brain : "hey bro listen to this podcast am hungry for it"

Glad you are fine though, hopefully your husband came out okay too.
He’s all good now!! Just really sick for a week then turned the corner!! Thank God!!! The entire house ended up with the virus. Myself and 3 boys (who are very healthy)had zero symptoms . Just goes to show.....🤔
Wow! Gave me hope for my gi issues. Thank you for this guest.
When 2 hours feel like 20 minutes, you know that was a killer podcast. ✌
Rich you've had some great guests lately! I loved this interview. I got so much out of it. BTW you are a great interviewer.
Much better than Joe rogan bs podcasts
Yes BS, that's why he has the most popular podcast.
@@CanadianMang so anything pop is great in your opinion. You must be a fan of stupid pop music and those cringy Hollowood movies coz they are so POPULAR 😂😂😂😂😂
I don’t agree with joe on everything, but I enjoy both Joe and Rich’s podcasts
@@sash0047 You sound like a huge snob, dude. Let people enjoy both.

Good way to think about it lol
You might be col on to something...
You would choose to live in somebody's colon? 😳
This is the best podcast ever! Thank you Rich for being such a great host. You ask great questions, step out of the way and let your guest talk. This doc is very informative, humble and an amazing teacher! I have been mostly vegan for since I was 12. Really had to battle to defend myself, he explains being vegan so well. Not just for our physical health but the planet. This doc is right on!! Thank you! Such a bad ass podcast!!
Dr. B is an epic communicator and teacher!! So down to earth too!
I LOVED this conversation...am so happy to have been introduced to Dr.Will...F-GOALS!!!!!
Thank you is not enough to express my profound gratitude for your I nformation
If you liked this video, you may also be interested in knowing the indicators of a healthy gut! They include: colon transit time of 12-24 hours, type 4 stool on the Bristol stool chart, not having diarrhea or constipation, having 1-3 bowel movements per day, and light-dark brown colored stools!
I hope this guy has updated his knowledge on population growth. It's falling all over the world
Thanks so much. Bought the book and shared the video. Ready for the challenge!
What is the name of his book, please and thank you.
Well, moderation in all things still applies to eating, imho. Yes, we should get most of our nutrition from plants, but the earth is full of depleted soil that even growing things organically won't help. Soil needs animals to be healthy, from livestock to wildlife, and we need to eat some of those animals to make it worthwhile for the farmer to take the trouble to raise them.
Grass-fed beef, pasture-raised pork, chicken, and eggs, along with not tilling and eliminating chemical inputs, is what really raises soil from the dead, complete with the microbiome the soil needs, just as we humans need a healthy microbiome. We don't need to eat meat all the time. A few times a week would be more than adequate, especially if it's grown healthily and humanely on regenerative farms.
Livestock is the only thing that can transform deserts back into grasslands, which then become instead of heaters of the planet, coolers of the planet as the soil is able to suck in water and carbon, the two main components of life on earth. Even as Dr. B pointed out, the African tribe that still hunts and gathers still has meat when they can get it, which apparently does them no harm. Without animals, we wouldn't have plants. We can't just abandon the practice of growing livestock and think that's going to benefit the earth or our microbiomes.
All life evolved together, and nature itself shows us that all life exists on the remains of other life. Take it or leave it. I agree that most of our food should be plants, but a little meat or dairy, when raised properly, couldn't hurt and could really help.
My experience crossing over to full plant based involved a twelve day fast first. After the fast I only ate plant based, the transition was seamless and almost instinctive. No side effects, cravings, gas etc etc. Just well being. :)
Thanks for another good one Rich!
This honestly seems like a really good idea. Starve all the bacteria then feed the one’s you want to flurish. I wonder if there’s scientific literature on your approach? 🤔 Glad it worked for you! I’m almost to 1 month and still get a lot of gas, headaches and the occasional brain fog. That said, my blood pressure went from boarder line hypertension to totally normal and my mood is amazing! I feel so much better mentally and I’m loosing about a pound a week so it’s definitely going in the right direction.
I LOve your podcasts !!
Thank you for all the enlightenment and factual information you bring ⭐️
Iam a huge fan!!
If you liked this video, you may also want to know about some mistakes people may make in trying to fix gut health! They include: adding a probiotic to help with excessive gas and bloating (that's just one piece of the puzzle), eliminating a food for 4 days and expecting it solve the issue (will take at least 2 weeks), and not thinking about root causes!
Rich Roll is looking great
His beard looks great!
Looking really good!🙌🏼🌱😊

I was engaged here until we got to the part about the study on how animal products essentially destroy the gut microbiome. Why is no one asking what quality of animal products were used? Of course if you study a plant-based diet for five days and then compare it to the standard American animal proteins sources you're obviously going to find and come to the conclusion that a plant-based lifestyle is the only way to go. Can we redo the study but with good clean sources of meat and dairy? This man sounded so smart up until this point. Seems like a very obvious question to ask. There was a lot of really valuable information in this video so I'm going to continue watching it until the end. I really hope they address this but couldn't help but come on here for a comment
I have watched this twice since it came out, and I got more from it the second time. If I could give this more thumbs up , I would give it a ten star rating!! Bravo!
He said that he was putting broccoli sprouts in his (hot) soup to get enough sulforaphane. The problem is that the broccoli sprouts contain glucoraphanin and not sulforaphane.
Sulforaphane is made when you chew on the broccoli sprouts and the cells are being desroyed. Then the glucoraphanin comes in contact with an enzyme myrosinase and the enzyme converts the glucoraphanin into sulforaphane (this is part of the defence system of the broccoli plant).
Enzymes are destroyed when they are heated over 70 degrees Celsius (158 F). When you put broccolisprouts in your hot soup, no sulforaphane is made and you lost your nutritional advantage.
Great comment, I didn't know that! But it is the same with the probiotics in miso, so wait until the soup has cooled down a bit before you put miso and broccoli in, and we will get all the good stuff ;)
If you break the cell wall by making a slurry in a blender then pour it into the soup after removing it from the heat then PRESTO , you will reap the benefits. You can also crush black mushroom seeds into powder and sprinkle over any cooked casifrious veggie . Eyes mind heart and soul wide open no fear..... We GUT this .
@@dinomiles7999 After making the slurry you have to wait for about 20 minutes or so to let the enzymes do their work. It does not work if you put it in immediately. The enzymes can't do their work in your stomach, because they are neutralized as soon as they enter the soup.
@@dinomiles7999 Or you can just eat some raw sprouts as a side dish :)
Correct . Unless you use black mustard seed powder . This will activate the mirossonaze which will activate the sulphaphan...
Dr. Will can you interview dr. terry wahls to help msers make sense of all this and lyme drs integrated

Is it possible that we a human beings are so diverse, that it is very rarely a 'one size fits all' when it comes to diet? What works for you may not work for me. I take what I can from a variety of informative sources, and I don't think anyone will argue that eating predominantly processed foods, be they plant based or animal based will probably cause trouble eventually. To imply that everyone thrives on plant based only or everyone will thrive on low-carb only, seems ridiculous. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be one body of research that can prove either one definitively. I'm inclined to stick with an omnivorous diet of whole foods and good quality water that is chlorine free. The world of diet and nutrition continues to be a shit-show. What works for you? It's not always easy to figure it out, but I guess it's about the journey as much as the destination.
I will say once I got to the part of him talking about "training your gut" I became incredibly skeptical. My own anecdotal experience is that's not the case. I suffered for years trying to power through dietary issues with certain foods. They didn't get better. Some don't simply cause me to have a little bit more gas, they give me hours, even back to back days worth, to the point of pain and disruption of day to day living. If certain fiber feed certain bacteria, why would eating a small amount somehow be training your gut better than eating a regular amount? His argument doesn't really make sense. I'm at the point where after having replaced refined wheat with whole grains to be healthy, and having dealt with it for _10 years_, I've cut them from my diet completely.
@@user-sd8ri3ep2o Just sharing what works in my clinic. Obviously people who see me, I don’t just “train their gut.” I start by making sure there is not a medical reason for their food sensitivity. Their often is. Dietary modification comes later.
Gareth, it’s a good question. By no means am I suggesting a one size fits all. There are 300,000 edible plants and if you read my book I advocate a plant predominant diet that leaves room to wiggle based on your preferences and bio individuality. I personally thrive on a 100% plant based argument but it’s possible to be healthy without necessarily being 100%. The strongest arguments for 100% for all are the ethics and environment. That said, this is our biology. There will be examples that exist of people who smoke like a chimney and drink like a fish, but we can’t predict who those people are and for most of us that would shorten their ur life substantially. We know that there are certain foods that increase our risk of the latent disease - heart disease, cancer, stroke, kidney disease, Alzheimer’s. Short term feeling good isn’t the same as protection from these latent diseases. While there will be some who can eat stuff that we agree is unhealthy and get away with it, we can’t predict who those people are and for most of us that’s a bad idea. The ideal solution is an antiinflammatory diet (ie plant predominant) to attenuate those risks. Not one size fits all, but accepting of our biology. Hope that helps.
I would like to ask Dr Gundry, Dr McDougall, Dr Neal Bernard and Dr Will B to have an open panel discussion, possibly via you tube. That would be so informative and a phenomenal learning experience. Please, I am an obese nurse working with my diet. learning as much as I can to be healthy. Help me and many others gentleman, get together, I beg you.
Gundry is a quack. If you want to lose weight don't listen to him, he recommends drinking a bottle of oil every day. That's instant quack material right there.
@@80slimshadys He does seem a bit extremist
@@kathleenpowers3371 I think that's safe to say
His book is amazing!
symbiosis; we are one, we are nature, not only a part of it!
So true! Did you know that changing what you eat can change your gut microbiome in just 2 days?
This is like so informative! Wow my mind is blown. I’ve been going back to meat on and off for a year now. This has totally changed my way of eating to heal my gut, cravings and depression. Great podcast! Thank you so much.
Absolutely incredible, info packed episode! I paused briefly halfway through to purchase Fiber Fueled on Audible. Loved the episode and I can't wait to start the book!
Exactly the type of guidance I was looking for at the moment. Awesome podcast. I'm buying the book immediately
VARIETY. DIVERSITY. Great interview!
It's all about RESET of your system Reset. That's why fasting is so helpful. . Eyes mind heart and soul wide open no fear.... just Chang it up often .
I eat plant based. I also eat organic eggs, beef, fish and Greek yogurt. Balance I think they call it!
I agree with you completely, Richard M. I appreciate the info about getting a great plant diversity, but we should include animal foods as well...which ALSO contribute SCFAs. 🤷🏻♀️
Fantastic episode. Can't wait to read his book!
I'm on day 9 and SUFFERING HORRIBLY!!!! hello I'm doing whole foods plant based and suffering
I'm a Pathologist, so I will help Dr. Bulsiewicz with the description of the immune component of the gut. As he said, the gut mucosa is lined by an epithelial layer. Directily under this layer is the lamina propria which is a loose connective tissue containing Glands, blood vessels and lots of immune cells such as lymphocytes and macrophages with smaller numbers of eosinophils. Neutrophils aren't usually present unless there is active Inflammation occurring. Throughout the mucosa of colon and small intestine, one will usually find a number of small, reactive lymphoid Aggregates which are similar to a tiny lymph node, but they are lacking a capsule like a true lymph node and those are usually found in the submucosa. I hope this helps.
Rich, this is MIND BLOWING. This is going to affect my mission in life or greatly add.
Trauma healing...EMDR and brainspotting therapy and hypnosis...all helped me and alot has cleared. No more trauma responses. Also, cut out coffee and realized caffeine was causing anxiety/stress eating.
I’m doing better than I was....but I have to say, I was hoping the third “S” was going to be Scotch :)
Excellent podcast. Bottom line: eat your fiber! The best way to do that is to go whole-food plant-fueled. Love Dr. B and of course Rich!
This podcast blew it out the park. Rich Roll and our amazing plant forward Doctors did it again
Great point about the microbiome evolving so quickly and the gut being trainable.
حقیقتا یکی از مهمترین تحقیقاتی است که من تا بامروز شنیدم؛ مملو از امیدواری؛ اکنون سبزیجات و میوه بخورید ۶ ساعت دیگر میلیاردها باکتری خوب در روده خواهید داشت! یا کباب و پیدزا وکیک بخورید؛ ۶ ساعت بعد میلیاردها باکتری خوب در روده خواهید کشت و شکم و باسن تان ۲ سانت بزرگتر میشود
Such a great conversation. I have so many questions! One is about seasonal foods. You mention the importance of diversity but in certain climates, like where I am in Northern Europe, diversity in a large section of the year is reduced (because of the cooler climate). That was the motivation to relying (a long time ago) on animal products because, before transportation and cheap oil, it was easier to keep an animal than it was to process all foods grown during the warmer season so there was sufficient food. I'm a land worker and the bets on animals surviving, especially during changing climate, are higher than crops. This season we lost 800 squash plants in a storm. Luckily, we live in a culture where we can rely on imports and others. I'd love your guys thoughts. Do you think there's absolutely no place for including eggs, cheese, fish, chicken, meat...etc? Perhaps the American model is slightly different to here in the UK. Thanks!!
Dr. B speaks in a way that penetrated my grass-fed, wild game, meat eating soul. I definitely did not want to let this point of view in, again. As many of us have played in Vegetarian-Vegan-Raw Food-GlutenFree-GlutenFree but better-Keto (Carnivore, never spoken to me, personally),I had found complete joy in the mostly Keto-Organic sandbox. I thought I had reached diet Nirvana...then enter Dr. B's voice on The Rich Roll Podcast.
good stuff, some great information but a bit too much vegan propaganda midway onwards
if you are eating a diet primarily from the agricultural industry it'll be laced with chemicals and antibiotics
grow as much of your own food as possible or forage it from the wild
predators in nature have a microbiome and they get it from somewhere, a lion doesn't go chewing on some plants, meat has benefits but you should try and stay away from the lower grade processed rubbish and eat less due to poor farming practices
30 different plants per week! Maybe this harkens back to our hunter gatherer days when we moved around to different locations depending on the season...
30 including spices
THANK YOU FOR SAVING LIVES.....i totally resonated with the info here.
Rich,
It is a huge blessing to have found your podcast. Thank you for what you do brother!!
This is such a great interview. Dr. B is such a captivating speaker, the time just flew by. Thank you so much Rich and Dr. B for the incredible value that you add to our lives. ❤️❤️
Your past Dr. B episode got me into your podcast and I’ve been listenting to every single episode from that on!
Thank you, Roll, for your work! You change the world!
