My dr told me I absolutely had to take statins bc it was absolutely impossible to lower cholesterol with diet and exercise especially at my age. After 9 months they finally wanted to do a fasting blood draw. Dr called and said she was blown away. My bad stuff went from 200 to 118 . Praise be to God
Omegas& Turmeric from Dr. Livingood, and his Cholesterol Support suppliments plus changing to Healthy oils improved mine 30 points in a month! We don't have to take statins! God is good! Congratulations! 🤩
It sounds like you have encountered a con man and repeatedly paying him a visit. I always screen my family physician with a series of questions before paying for the first consultation.
@@loodakris5928 I am not at all surprised that they are trained to be dishonest, not about making you healthy instead you have to pay them to make yourself sicker by taking more drugs and eventually bankrupted by these people and their afflictions. The medical industry knew that saturated is the cornerstone of good health and longevity since decades ago, instead they laid out the plan to make everyone in this world a victim, many died without knowing the truth.
I think I’m on the verge of dying! No joke… I got high cholesterol, pre-diabetic, fractured pelvic, bone issues, vitamin d deficiency, 7 nodules on my thyroid… wow! That’s a long list… I’m scared because I love what’s bad for you! I quit drinking and smoking but now I’ve become addicted to food, bad food! Not even fast food just at home I love ice cream, high fat milk and yogurt! Rice, butter and bread!!! I am so grateful to have come across your video because you have such a warmth that the message is loud and clear to me! Thank you lady… you’re an angel in disguise! God bless you ❤
I’m not sure what age you are..but you can turn it all around..you just have to get a mind set to what to want..do you want to live n enjoy life or be unhealthy n miss out on so much or worst…I’m a 29 yr cancer survivor n no dr will tell me when I’m leaving this earth..it’s up to us to make the changes in our life…
Hi Mary, that's so awesome! Would you like to share your story to our audience and inspire others? I can interview you over a zoom meeting and post your story on our channel. Are you interested? Email me at contact@zonya.com
I followed these recommendations in October as I was diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, and high Cholesterol, ultimately I was put on medication. I'm 40, nevertheless following these tips lowered my a1c from 6.9 to 6, and lowered my blood glucose from 159 to 126 in 3 months. I also lost 18lbs without exercise. It really is a life change but you can do it. I'm off the bp and Cholesterol meds now. Thank you so much Zonya. I really appreciate how much you helped me. I still have a way to go but I'm finally enjoying the journey.
YAY YOU Robin! You took the ball and ran with it. Believing starting with just "3 foods"! And that these three foods not only helped your cholesterol, but blood pressure AND DIABETES! People think "beans are carbs" but they are the loaded with fiber, slow-rising, packed with potassium carbs. Can't throw all carbs under the bus. But get smart with your carbs. Apples....AMAZING! Your weight loss is excellent and helping your body to improve it's glucose sensitivity... And the best part about your comment...."I'm finally enjoying the journey". YEEEEES!!! Eating good for you REAL FOOD is DELICIOUS!!! Congrats Robin, keep up the great work! I know you will!
Very interesting! Some things I already knew. However, putting them in action at times is difficult. I love all beans and they’re not expensive! Eating organic on the other hand is expensive! So, I do my best to lower my cholesterol and sugar levels as best I can! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 😊
@terab8885, I promise this response is NOT to show off but to show the power of God. Coffee made my fingers hurt and my thumb swell, sugar fed the fungus in my big toes and produced swollen ankels and thru a surgeon on RUclips said I was addicted to food! Your addicted! My cholesterol was 201 and sent to a heart Dr. I took communion over each one. A month later loss 10 lbs-no exerise, no more pain in fingers or elbow and I'm learning to feed my gut and not me. Sugar is to a min. With oatmeal. Will stay in the fight. Horrible food will destroy us.
I just stumbled onto this video, it's giving me life. My doctor just told me my cholestrol was way high and wanted to give me medication, I declined. Thank you so much for this I will be following and ordering your books.
Just one thing in your fridge will lower your cholesterol and diabetes levels without stress, it worked for me. That one thing is egg, incorporate it in your food as a separate meal, don't combine it with any food. In my own case, I take 3 to 4 eggs for my breakfast, then my launch and dinner are vegetables with fish or any type of protein that you choose (note that if you choose chicken or Turkey for your protein, you must remove the skin)combined with very low carbohydrate foods and within a week, I was free from both of them till today. I changed my diet since about three years ago and I'm still cholesterol and diabetes free.
@@jdubb0113 Initially I was eating one yoke out of the four eggs because yoke contains some nutrients that the white egg doesn't have, so we need it. Now, I don't care much about removing the yokes, I just remove them maybe thrice in a week and my cholesterol level still remains the same.
Loved this video soooooo much. My cholesterol is 231, for the first time in my 66 years, I don't want a cholesterol pill, so I am correcting it with food!! Thank you so much!!!
I’ve been 220 total cholesterol for few years, and my doctors tell me that’s too high and try to get it down. My husband runs 180. So yes, I watch everything I eat.
Good for you..never start them cause I'm on one AND I heard cholesterol pills, raise your insulin levels? That's all we need get rid of one condition only to get more Smh and If so..I'd like to get off of them myself. Big pharma =big money for drs..
@@Lilly-P here is how you remember.LDL..Lis for lousy..HDL H..is for healthy. Hope it helps. What you want to watch out for are the triglycerides.. because if they're High? It's what is very dangerous..good luck.
Love your video. You have mentioned my favorite foods. Beans, I'm from Puerto Rico and beans are a very important part of our cuisine, love them all kidney, black, pink, white, garbanzo, pigeon peas. Love fish, my daughter says that probably I was born in a boat, because I love fish. Today my lunch was salmon (can) spinach, tomatoes, green onion. We have a good Publix supermarket next to our house, with a good Seafood department, we go get fresh fish, come home cook and eat. Thanks for all the good advise. My doctor said this week my labs were excellent. Already subscribed to your channel. And yes love apples also, eat them with a sprinkle of ginger and cinnamon. My bad cholesterol was 81, good cholesterol was 53. Sugar 80.
Hello! My husband & I went to have our annual labs done and unfortunately my triglycerides were high (236) and his LDL was high….so for the next 3 months we started using your 3 cholesterol food killers & it worked!!! We repeated our labs and my triglycerides dropped 54 points (182) and my husband’s overall cholesterol dropped 23 points. We’re not stopping there. We still have work to do and we are going to continue to research and use your recipes until we get our numbers lower. We see our doctors in 6 months🤞🏽Thank you for all of your help. We now have completely changed the way we eat👏🏽God bless.
Thank you for this! I have been on meds for cholesterol and have had a bad reaction (itchy skin and palms) so my doctor and I decided that I should stop taking the medication for 1-2 weeks to confirm that the problem is actually a side effect - and the itching has stopped! As I live in Norway fish is not a problem and I do eat it fairly often. I also like pulses but forget to eat my beans, the same applies to apples and pears. This is going to change - I do not like taking medication and at 76 it is time to update my lifestyle!
Hi Liv, I m wondering how you are doing with beans & more fruits diet? Has yr cholesterol improved? I’m like you so trying to avoid meds. Look forward to hear from you.
Hi baby how are you doing now i hope you are really doing good you are awesome looking at you baby makes happy when I look at your picture it is beyond my imagination that a creature like you really exist like a rose you make the garden so beautiful You are a diamond to any man that have eyes to see goodness of a womanhood Baby am Ben easy going person very understandable Am a civil engineer and a contractor I work at so many places like Asia Europe and Africa I love art craft and I write music I like ideal people when I see your picture am impress I want a good woman that understand what real love is all about who will understand me and perfectly be for me So we can build our world strong enough to care for each other I want you to be mine and I hope to hear from you soonest thanks
It's easy to tell you are passionate about eating healthy to reduce cholesterol, blood sugar, BP etc. You have a wonderful bubbly personality that is enjoyable. You remind me of my 'aunty Bev'. I'm 63 and underwent a triple bypass three years ago. I have always been a healthy eater, passing over burgers, pizza etc. My friend always teased me and called me a grazer, because I opted for salads. I unfortunately have familial high cholesterol 😔 I have good HDL and good triglycerides, but bad LDL. My BP is normally around 120/70, sometimes lower, so that is never an issue. My cardiologist wanted me to take statins, but I refused. Even though I am already a healthy eater and I upped my intake of even healthier choices, after 6 months my cholesterol only dropped 5 points. I conceded to try Repatha, but I am still wary. It hasn't been around long enough to establish strong research on the side effects of long term use. Anyway, I am not a fan of salmon. Mom made patties and loaves when we were kids and they were awful. I am going to try your recipe using the packets and the spicy sauce. I love all kinds of beans but I will admit I don't eat enough of them. I will now add them daily to my diet. I love berries of all kinds,, but I am not a big fruit eater. I will pick up some apples at the market. I prefer red delicious ( 😊 ) and granny smiths. My next cardiologist appt is in April and I'm hoping my numbers go down even more. If so, I might ask to stop taking the Repatha to see if my cholesterol will stay below 200. Loved your video. Thank you for the wonderful information and recipes.
Hi. I have super high cholesterol. I am pescatarian for 40 year's now, don't eat any deep fry, sugars, processed food or junk/fast food. I live mostly on beans, fish, veggies and fruits. I live a super healthy lifestyle. I am 5'3, 115 lbs. I work out almost daily and take at least 5 sauna's per week. My doctors say I am healthy and doing all the right things for my body yet my cholesterol is in the high 300's and LDL is way up there. I do not "usually" take prescription meds but am very close to starting a statin against my better judgement. There is a ton of heart disease in my family. I personally have a strong heart but the cholesterol issue for me is dangerous and I'm really nervous now that I cannot control it thru diet and exercise. I have tried very unsuccessfully! I am told that this is hereditary and although I am doing everything right, there is not other option for me than to take the statin pills. Any advise please? Thank You!
Yes my dad passed at 66 from high cholesterol:( but I don’t even think he knew he had it until it was too late ! It’s a silent killer … my mom had high cholesterol and she is 81 and has been on statins for years since her 50s and no cardiac events except 1 minor heart attack at 65 when I dr gave her a pill to lose weight ! Statins did keep her cholesterol LOW! But I am going to really try to do it naturally …. Fish, veggies, fruits, beans, water and egg whites and I have to follow LOW fodmap foods only and low glycemic foods …. Low fodmap has helped my IBS …. They said I either have IBS or I don’t have the enzymes that digest fatty foods … I will say this eliminating alll the junk bacon hot dogs burgers white buns white pasta saves my GUT

Thank you so much Zonya, you are the best! I'm thank God He answered my prayers directing and guiding me to your channel. After viewing your 1st food beans to lower cholesterol I wasn't sure about it due to the beans giving me gas and bloated but I figured I would have to try some beano because my health is so important and have always been so i imedaely put you on pause and dive into making your bean salad recipe and then came back for more of your God's giving information on the salmon which I had already made a decision to switch over from some of my other meats due to my cholesterol and i pause you again and set up everything to make them along with your "Dreamy fruit desert" i love apples and eat them all the time but I couldn't believe I didn't have any but I have blueberries so I'm going to go with them today instead of the apples. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart I also share all of the real food with my family, and love ones because eating healthy is very important to me and should be to the world. Thank you again I can't wait to try your recipes today and i look forward to trying many more. God bless you and keep up the good work. I love you beautiful soul and smile we need more of that in our world today because laughter is also a medcine and a blessing. 🙏🏽❤️😀👍🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Ground flaxseed (two tablespoons) along with Ceylon cinnamon (heavy sprinkle) and stevia (according to your taste), add berries of your choice, all mixed in a 3/4 cup (more or less, you decide) of fat free plain Greek yogurt. And I’d sometimes drizzle sugar free syrup on it (it does have aspartame, I know it’s terrible for me). This tastes so good and helped me lower my cholesterol and keep it in the normal range. I eat a bowl of this most mornings for breakfast.
Hi! I just came across your video and started to watch. I was just diagnosed with high cholesterol and placed on Crestor, I really don’t want to continue on that med, thank you so much for the info. I will continue watching your videos.
I was on Crestor many years ago, they made me ache all over. I tried another tablet same thing. I went on a diet and lost weight, my next cholesterol reading was down, years later it’s up again, I was offered statins, no way will I go on those meds. So here I am, correcting my diet and listening to this lovely lady.
I recommend bean ceviche! White beans, avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, fresh squeezed lime, some salt to taste. Mix it all up and there you go!
I do not like red delicious either. The skin is thick and bitter in my opinion. So glad I found your channel. The Dr did all he could to get me on a statin. I said that is never happening. He finally gave up and told me I was the boss. He said I want to see what you can do in 6 months. Then we will talk. Thanks for this great info and great recipes.
Hi Zonya. I am so excited today!! By following your lower cholesterol recipes my total cholesterol is down today from 246 to 220 in 3 months 😊😊. I love all the recipes in this video. Especially the salmon patties!! Thank you and I’m so happy I found you !
What really resonated with me in this vid was when Zonya said "We all have to learn how to live in this world." (About the donuts) Seems like a simple statement, but it truly hits home. Thank you Zonya for your inspiration. I started on the right path as a New Years resolution, and you have given me the courage to continue.....hopefully forever. Thanks again.
You are so refreshing & saving lives! Thank you! For years, I've begged my doctor for referrals to a nutritionist, but she refuses & only believes in prescribing medications. She doesn't believe nutrition & supplements can have positive affects on one's health or that nurition & supplements can lower lab results. I have a great insurance policy which covers visits to a nutritionist, but my doctor gate keeper refuses to allow my consult with a registered dietician & won't follow through with referrals for tests requested by my other specialists. This dance with my JPS primary care physician (PCP) in Fort Worth, Texas is exhausting, so backwards & promotes "sick care with prescriptions." Thank you for your help! I deserve better! I'm trying to find a good nutritionist and a better PCP doctor for my healthy future self.
Wow, just got my bloodwork results for my annual physical required to hold a commercial drivers license. Have used all kind of things to try and reduce cholesterol and this round I dropped 33 from my total cholesterol bringing LDL down to 88! My wife makes a pot of white bean & kale soup a week and it really does the trick. You are a peach Zonya Foco and your advice is spot on!
I went whole foods plant based 3.5 years ago. I eat beans every day now. I've lost 110 pounds. Gave up processed food, sugar and white flower. Cut way back on salt. I feel better in my 60's than I did in my 30's. I have your cook book!

Thank you so much. Looks like God directed me to this channel and it’s my first time and it’s just what I need. Just got a high cholesterol and increased LDL report from my blood test and I need to take the bull by the horn and reduce that number to normal (acceptable range). I’m determined to correct this problem and in addition to other interventions I am considering, this is perfect for me and I already eat fish and vegetables only.
Had my physical today, 55 year old female, blood work last week, so my Dr. Informed me that my bad cholesterol was 195 and good was only about 35. So I came to youtube and found you. Learning alot !! I said "NO" to pills and said I'll read up on what I should be eating and what to eliminate. ☺ Thank you for all the great info. In 6 months when I gp back to dr.s I'll come back with update. 😉
It sounds like you have encountered a con man and repeatedly paying him a visit. I always screen my family physician with a series of questions before paying for the first consultation.
Wow Dr Zonya first time for me and my God I am so IMPRESSED, from tomorrow I am going to get all the ingredients and START MY Cholesterol diet and thanks to you. A BIG Hello from Sydney Australia 😅❤❤
I loved your class today. I have to lose weight and lower my LDL Cholesterol. I promise you that I will eat more beans, apples, I eat Sockeye Salmon every week but not 5 times per week, I will incorporate the fresh Sockeye Salmon and Tuna at least 5 times per week. Thanks for sharing this is my first time stubbing upon your class because I want to learn how to eat to live.
wow, totally impressed! I'm a single person so I'll have to do some math. Just had a triple bypass and MUST learn to cook heathy. These three recipes are a great start! Can't wait to watch more videos. Thank you!
Wow you are amazing. Sharing this yummy healthy recipes This is just what I was looking for. I want to replace the processed deli. Thank you, God bless you richly.
I made all your recipes it such a great feeling to be able to eat food that’s healthy, delicious, and filling!! Thank you so much for this!! I’m going to bring down my cholesterol without medication!!
Just reading your comments... I am in the same shoes as you. I was so afraid to take the statins with all the side effects. I am becoming a master chef.
Excellent Idea! Thank You for the education on beans! My doctor said beans are very bad for me but I actually love beans & I’m going to eat Garbanzo beans once per week!
I cook 1 lb of pinto beans 6 C water or low sodium broth, in my Instant pot for 35-40 min. quick release. I add one whole onion, 3-5 cloves of garlic, 1 Tbsp cumin, 1 Tbsp Chili powder, some salt, pepper, stir and put the lid on your instant pot. I take half out to keep whole, the other half I remove water and use my immersion tool to smash them into healthy Refried beans (no oil or lard) :) Delicious!!
I love this video. It makes a lot of sense to me. I am in this line of healthy living and it keeps me healthy and feeling younger than my age of 68. Your video adds more knowledge to what I am already doing. Thank you.
I am excited. This is one of the few channels that really resonate with me. So motivating because it’s positive, not finger wagging. I am going out tomorrow to buy these healthier options. Thank you
@@jennieosborne3530 You can use egg whites to stick your burgers together or you could use oat-bran. Just stir some hot water from the kettle into a cup of oat-bran & mix with your other ingredients. However there is quite a lot of good cholesterol in eggs. You might want to look up the facts & decide what you want to do.
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom so we can lower our cholesterol . I will try to follow your advice so that my cholesterol will become normal. Lord bless you more as you continue to help us to become healthy!!
Blessing to come across your channel at the right time. A year ago I was told about my cholesterol but had not done anything. Yours is practical I have no excuse not following/doing it. I feel heaviness in my heart now when I write this for I had a stressful morning. Thank you so much. Will share you my progress.Watching from Ethiopia
This presentation is so excellent! Why you are different?. (A) This message is a fresh approach, relatable to real people and you are delightful! Thank you!!!!

Great info. Thanks for sharing. Been eating more beans since last year, and started eating lentils last month. Then, I started taking bone, fish, chicken and vegetables broths almost daily - I cook the soups, beans and lentils in broths. The broths did it for me - made me cut down on meat consumption significantly....down from daily to once to three times a week! I love the taste of the home made broths so much I don't feel the need to eat the meat that much anymore.. The broths have the protein. Nuts and seeds provide the rest. I hope my bodyfat goes down from current 22.9% to 20% or less over the next 3 months. I started jogging on Sunday, I feel good. No major pain or inflammation to deal with this time. Broths have reduced inflammation in my body, finally.
I'm a type two diabetic with high cholesterol and everything that you've said about Salmon is true. My HDL, LDL and Triglyceride levels are very good since I've been eating Salmon very often BUT, whenever I consumed those beans and especially Kidney beans, my glucose would spiked through the roof! Although I grew up eating all types of beans and peas and loved them, I can't do so any longer since I'm diabetic. Perhaps other diabetics can enjoyed them all! I've been able to get my A1c down from 7.3 to 6.0 and am very happy but I'm aiming to go much lower by the time my next blood test is due. Thank you and God bless 🙏❤
Went on a plant based diet loaded with beans and in 9 months since my last stent I needed three additional stents. We're talking pure bean, no added nothing. Beans are also starchy and loaded with carbs. I guess it depends on your particular metabolism.

Thank you fun to watch! YES! I blend three gala apples, 2 granny smith's, water, pinch cinnamon, teensy bit grated ginger and salt. Then I freeze in popcicle forms for my great grandchildren and they love them.

Which LDL particle do you recommend lowering Large buoyant LDL or small dense LDL particles? One correlates with metabolic syndrome and the other with good metabolic health.
I just discovered this channel today ! Amen ! I do eat a lot of quinoa, red onion, tomm, garlic, cucumber salad that I love but I needed something to not get bored ! I also need to follow a low fod map diet and it says with the exception of garbanzo beans to avoid beans … I am wondering if beano will help with that ! I am going to try beano and make this salad this evening :) I had my blood work done and my total cholesterol is 280!! And my good cholesterol is 43 … I am losing weight. I lost 13 lbs and I walk daily now …so come Jan after following low cholesterol diet and adding fish and your wonderful recipes I will report back :) I plan to lose 25 lbs by then and they want to retake my blood test. My dr said he wants to see if diet and exercise and losing weight will keep me away from statins which is the goal ! ❤❤❤❤ I am so happy I found this channel ! Also is it ok to avoid chicken and beef and get all proteins from plant based diet alone ?
I did the 3 bean salad, the salmon patties, and I made the tarter sauce. I wasn’t sure about the tarter sauce at first, but I added a little bit more of the Siracha, and it all went together pretty nicely. I had to change up the way I eat. All my numbers are too high. This meal is totally satisfying and I’m not on that destructive path anymore.
This is the 1st time I've seen you - thank you so much for all the great advice! I was craving apples and just picked up a bag of organic Galas at the store yesterday! Looking forward to watching more of your videos !
Being 30 years old and having high cholesterol and triglycerides, I had to watch this for a better diet. I am 80kg which I know is overweight. Thank you for the video.
Hi Zonya...3 days now been watching your videos..loving it...I have a request..I am 55 female , I recently did some blood tests(liver and kidney tests)..here are my numbers Just a few questions... FBC results that I need to know if I can do anything to normalize .. 1. MCH is higher than extreme..34.3 2. Hematocrit is lower than minimum at 34.6 3. Lymphs above extreme at 49.70 4. EOS low below 1 5.RBC lower at 3.62 6.LDL cholesterol is 2.77 7. Total chol/HDL ratio is 2.93 Sorry for taking your time, but perhaps it may require i make lifestyle changes...thank you Zonya in advance and God bless you all
I just made the 3 bean salad and it is delicious! I need to lower my cholesterol and I want to do it naturally, not with medication. I will try more of your recipes. I am not a cook so thank you for all the explanations.
Great Video. You said beans what about canned black beans? Of course I drain and rinse them also. What about psyllium? Thanks! You just got another subscriber❤!!
Thank you so much for this post. I have been separated for three years and have been so unmotivated to eat healthy. I recently found out that my LDL levels are through the roof. I'm not one to take medication and was doing some research on lowering my levels by the time I go back to see my doctor on April 1st. I'm definitely going to follow/subscribe to your channel. I'm going to incorporate some of your ideas. I think I've found my inspiration. Thank you, Zonya
I'm definitely going to do the three bean salad and the salmon patty. Grown up as a child through my 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s. We've always called them salmon croquettes. However, I've never had them baked. And with that dressing I am so sure I'm in for a treat! 😂😜 😃 I'm pretty leery about trying the egg in it because currently I've decided I'm going to lay off her looks something I did years ago.
I have always eaten a healthy diet and exercise, so I was surprised when my LDL was so high! This has come along at the right time for me, I don't want to stay on statins. Thank you for making this video. You are probably saving alot people!😊❤
Zonya, I'm Ann Moore and this is my 1st time watching your RUclips program. Thank you so much for showing me how to create dishes that will help me lower my cholesterol. o
I'm new to your channel and I wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for all this great information! I will definitely be back and will share with my loved ones. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
1st time viewer here. I'm so impressed with your recipes and information. I need to lower my cholesterol and I don't want to go on medication. I've subscribed!
Sorry Sonia this is Nancy Tomsic. I’m sorry I did not get your name in the beginning that is not that’s rude. Thank you so much Sonia for for your information and all the knowledge that you have. God bless you happy new year 2023.

Thank you God bless bye-bye for now. Have a wonderful day.
I walk every day and go to the gym at least 4 times a week. I have been doing it for the last 6 months with more intensity than ever before (I have always been active throughout my life; sometimes more other times a little less).
It’s a blessing for your son that he has you. Thank you for this information… i was just told I had high ldl 122 so im going to use this information and jump on board with you.

What great formation. She explains everything so even i can understand. I am a believer that Zonya cares for everyone and loves what she teaches. I highly recommend this to all.
The salmon patties look really good, I didn't quite catch what the red vegetable that you put in them was, tomato or red pepper, please let me know, thanks.

My dr told me I absolutely had to take statins bc it was absolutely impossible to lower cholesterol with diet and exercise especially at my age. After 9 months they finally wanted to do a fasting blood draw. Dr called and said she was blown away. My bad stuff went from 200 to 118 . Praise be to God
Omegas& Turmeric from Dr. Livingood, and his Cholesterol Support suppliments plus changing to Healthy oils improved mine 30 points in a month! We don't have to take statins! God is good! Congratulations! 🤩
It sounds like you have encountered a con man and repeatedly paying him a visit. I always screen my family physician with a series of questions before paying for the first consultation.
@@wilsont1010I think a lot of doctors are trained in this way
@@loodakris5928 I am not at all surprised that they are trained to be dishonest, not about making you healthy instead you have to pay them to make yourself sicker by taking more drugs and eventually bankrupted by these people and their afflictions. The medical industry knew that saturated is the cornerstone of good health and longevity since decades ago, instead they laid out the plan to make everyone in this world a victim, many died without knowing the truth.
She doesn't know what she is talking about! This is so old info
.!!
I think I’m on the verge of dying! No joke… I got high cholesterol, pre-diabetic, fractured pelvic, bone issues, vitamin d deficiency, 7 nodules on my thyroid… wow! That’s a long list… I’m scared because I love what’s bad for you! I quit drinking and smoking but now I’ve become addicted to food, bad food! Not even fast food just at home I love ice cream, high fat milk and yogurt! Rice, butter and bread!!! I am so grateful to have come across your video because you have such a warmth that the message is loud and clear to me! Thank you lady… you’re an angel in disguise! God bless you ❤
You’ve got this. Your body can do an amazing job at healing once you put the right foods in it. I’m on a health journey too. We can do it! 😊
@@DanicaJennings thank you so much for your kind words!! You’re right… we got this!! ❤️❤️
I’m not sure what age you are..but you can turn it all around..you just have to get a mind set to what to want..do you want to live n enjoy life or be unhealthy n miss out on so much or worst…I’m a 29 yr cancer survivor n no dr will tell me when I’m leaving this earth..it’s up to us to make the changes in our life…
Thanks for this package,I will truly give it a trial
I hope you'll consider looking at the NutritionalFacts with Dr. Michael Greger.
I followed your diet and I dropped my LDL 104 to 65 thank you so much!!
In 6 weeks
Hi Mary, that's so awesome! Would you like to share your story to our audience and inspire others? I can interview you over a zoom meeting and post your story on our channel. Are you interested? Email me at contact@zonya.com
That is soooo awesome on your results❤
Great news.
How long did that take?
I followed these recommendations in October as I was diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, and high Cholesterol, ultimately I was put on medication. I'm 40, nevertheless following these tips lowered my a1c from 6.9 to 6, and lowered my blood glucose from 159 to 126 in 3 months. I also lost 18lbs without exercise. It really is a life change but you can do it. I'm off the bp and Cholesterol meds now. Thank you so much Zonya. I really appreciate how much you helped me. I still have a way to go but I'm finally enjoying the journey.
YAY YOU Robin! You took the ball and ran with it. Believing starting with just "3 foods"! And that these three foods not only helped your cholesterol, but blood pressure AND DIABETES! People think "beans are carbs" but they are the loaded with fiber, slow-rising, packed with potassium carbs. Can't throw all carbs under the bus. But get smart with your carbs. Apples....AMAZING! Your weight loss is excellent and helping your body to improve it's glucose sensitivity... And the best part about your comment...."I'm finally enjoying the journey". YEEEEES!!! Eating good for you REAL FOOD is DELICIOUS!!! Congrats Robin, keep up the great work! I know you will!
Good for you!
Very interesting! Some things I already knew. However, putting them in action at times is difficult. I love all beans and they’re not expensive! Eating organic on the other hand is expensive! So, I do my best to lower my cholesterol and sugar levels as best I can! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 😊
@terab8885, I promise this response is NOT to show off but to show the power of God. Coffee made my fingers hurt and my thumb swell, sugar fed the fungus in my big toes and produced swollen ankels and thru a surgeon on RUclips said I was addicted to food! Your addicted! My cholesterol was 201 and sent to a heart Dr. I took communion over each one. A month later loss 10 lbs-no exerise, no more pain in fingers or elbow and I'm learning to feed my gut and not me. Sugar is to a min. With oatmeal. Will stay in the fight. Horrible food will destroy us.
Happy day! 😊
I just stumbled onto this video, it's giving me life. My doctor just told me my cholestrol was way high and wanted to give me medication, I declined. Thank you so much for this I will be following and ordering your books.
Glad it was helpful!
My cholesterol was 467 before starting this diet, but it's got down to 24 now. Thanks so much. I feel like a newborn baby.
24? Total or triglyceride
I'm joking..
Then you'll be disappointed to learn that you have raised your mortality rate.

Just one thing in your fridge will lower your cholesterol and diabetes levels without stress, it worked for me. That one thing is egg, incorporate it in your food as a separate meal, don't combine it with any food. In my own case, I take 3 to 4 eggs for my breakfast, then my launch and dinner are vegetables with fish or any type of protein that you choose (note that if you choose chicken or Turkey for your protein, you must remove the skin)combined with very low carbohydrate foods and within a week, I was free from both of them till today. I changed my diet since about three years ago and I'm still cholesterol and diabetes free.
Wow
How do you eat eggs boiling or just fry them?
@@mohamedhassan5617 I fry them with two tablespoons of olive oil.
@@janetebenezer893 do you eat the egg yolks too, Or just egg White's?
@@jdubb0113 Initially I was eating one yoke out of the four eggs because yoke contains some nutrients that the white egg doesn't have, so we need it. Now, I don't care much about removing the yokes, I just remove them maybe thrice in a week and my cholesterol level still remains the same.
Loved this video soooooo much. My cholesterol is 231, for the first time in my 66 years, I don't want a cholesterol pill, so I am correcting it with food!! Thank you so much!!!
Which cholestrol?LDL or HDL, or Total cholesterol.. these readings are making my head spin..
That is not high at all
I’ve been 220 total cholesterol for few years, and my doctors tell me that’s too high and try to get it down. My husband runs 180. So yes, I watch everything I eat.
Good for you..never start them cause I'm on one AND I heard cholesterol pills, raise your insulin levels? That's all we need get rid of one condition only to get more
Smh and If so..I'd like to get off of them myself. Big pharma =big money for drs..
@@Lilly-P here is how you remember.LDL..Lis for lousy..HDL H..is for healthy. Hope it helps. What you want to watch out for are the triglycerides.. because if they're High? It's what is very dangerous..good luck.
Love your video. You have mentioned my favorite foods. Beans, I'm from Puerto Rico and beans are a very important part of our cuisine, love them all kidney, black, pink, white, garbanzo, pigeon peas. Love fish, my daughter says that probably I was born in a boat, because I love fish. Today my lunch was salmon (can) spinach, tomatoes, green onion. We have a good Publix supermarket next to our house, with a good Seafood department, we go get fresh fish, come home cook and eat. Thanks for all the good advise. My doctor said this week my labs were excellent. Already subscribed to your channel. And yes love apples also, eat them with a sprinkle of ginger and cinnamon. My bad cholesterol was 81, good cholesterol was 53. Sugar 80.
Hello! My husband & I went to have our annual labs done and unfortunately my triglycerides were high (236) and his LDL was high….so for the next 3 months we started using your 3 cholesterol food killers & it worked!!! We repeated our labs and my triglycerides dropped 54 points (182) and my husband’s overall cholesterol dropped 23 points. We’re not stopping there. We still have work to do and we are going to continue to research and use your recipes until we get our numbers lower. We see our doctors in 6 months🤞🏽Thank you for all of your help. We now have completely changed the way we eat👏🏽God bless.
AWESOME! Keep me posted on your progress.
Thank you for this!
I have been on meds for cholesterol and have had a bad reaction (itchy skin and palms) so my doctor and I decided that I should stop taking the medication for 1-2 weeks to confirm that the problem is actually a side effect - and the itching has stopped! As I live in Norway fish is not a problem and I do eat it fairly often. I also like pulses but forget to eat my beans, the same applies to apples and pears. This is going to change - I do not like taking medication and at 76 it is time to update my lifestyle!
Hi Liv, I m wondering how you are doing with beans & more fruits diet? Has yr cholesterol improved? I’m like you so trying to avoid meds. Look forward to hear from you.

It's easy to tell you are passionate about eating healthy to reduce cholesterol, blood sugar, BP etc. You have a wonderful bubbly personality that is enjoyable. You remind me of my 'aunty Bev'. I'm 63 and underwent a triple bypass three years ago. I have always been a healthy eater, passing over burgers, pizza etc. My friend always teased me and called me a grazer, because I opted for salads. I unfortunately have familial high cholesterol 😔 I have good HDL and good triglycerides, but bad LDL. My BP is normally around 120/70, sometimes lower, so that is never an issue. My cardiologist wanted me to take statins, but I refused. Even though I am already a healthy eater and I upped my intake of even healthier choices, after 6 months my cholesterol only dropped 5 points. I conceded to try Repatha, but I am still wary. It hasn't been around long enough to establish strong research on the side effects of long term use.
Anyway, I am not a fan of salmon. Mom made patties and loaves when we were kids and they were awful. I am going to try your recipe using the packets and the spicy sauce. I love all kinds of beans but I will admit I don't eat enough of them. I will now add them daily to my diet. I love berries of all kinds,, but I am not a big fruit eater. I will pick up some apples at the market. I prefer red delicious ( 😊 ) and granny smiths. My next cardiologist appt is in April and I'm hoping my numbers go down even more. If so, I might ask to stop taking the Repatha to see if my cholesterol will stay below 200.
Loved your video. Thank you for the wonderful information and recipes.
Hi. I have super high cholesterol. I am pescatarian for 40 year's now, don't eat any deep fry, sugars, processed food or junk/fast food. I live mostly on beans, fish, veggies and fruits. I live a super healthy lifestyle. I am 5'3, 115 lbs. I work out almost daily and take at least 5 sauna's per week. My doctors say I am healthy and doing all the right things for my body yet my cholesterol is in the high 300's and LDL is way up there. I do not "usually" take prescription meds but am very close to starting a statin against my better judgement. There is a ton of heart disease in my family. I personally have a strong heart but the cholesterol issue for me is dangerous and I'm really nervous now that I cannot control it thru diet and exercise. I have tried very unsuccessfully! I am told that this is hereditary and although I am doing everything right, there is not other option for me than to take the statin pills. Any advise please? Thank You!
Same with me.Check little p little a cholesterol I think it’s called…runs in our family.
Yes my dad passed at 66 from high cholesterol:( but I don’t even think he knew he had it until it was too late ! It’s a silent killer … my mom had high cholesterol and she is 81 and has been on statins for years since her 50s and no cardiac events except 1 minor heart attack at 65 when I dr gave her a pill to lose weight ! Statins did keep her cholesterol LOW! But I am going to really try to do it naturally …. Fish, veggies, fruits, beans, water and egg whites and I have to follow LOW fodmap foods only and low glycemic foods …. Low fodmap has helped my IBS …. They said I either have IBS or I don’t have the enzymes that digest fatty foods … I will say this eliminating alll the junk bacon hot dogs burgers white buns white pasta saves my GUT
My husband uses Red Yeast Rice- Cholestene 2xd. He tends to eat more possessed food. RED Y R keeps his number low and manageable.
My brother had your issues. He is taking citrus bergamot in pill form. It is natural and worked to lower his cholesterol
Cholesterol rises in low weight people..there’s a inverse relationship when ur weight gets low..cholesterol rises
Glad you showed up and now I am all set for Low Cholesterol.
Thank you and blessings!
You are so welcome Stacey.

Thank you so much Zonya, you are the best! I'm thank God He answered my prayers directing and guiding me to your channel. After viewing your 1st food beans to lower cholesterol I wasn't sure about it due to the beans giving me gas and bloated but I figured I would have to try some beano because my health is so important and have always been so i imedaely put you on pause and dive into making your bean salad recipe and then came back for more of your God's giving information on the salmon which I had already made a decision to switch over from some of my other meats due to my cholesterol and i pause you again and set up everything to make them along with your "Dreamy fruit desert" i love apples and eat them all the time but I couldn't believe I didn't have any but I have blueberries so I'm going to go with them today instead of the apples. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart I also share all of the real food with my family, and love ones because eating healthy is very important to me and should be to the world. Thank you again I can't wait to try your recipes today and i look forward to trying many more. God bless you and keep up the good work. I love you beautiful soul and smile we need more of that in our world today because laughter is also a medcine and a blessing. 🙏🏽❤️😀👍🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Ground flaxseed (two tablespoons) along with Ceylon cinnamon (heavy sprinkle) and stevia (according to your taste), add berries of your choice, all mixed in a 3/4 cup (more or less, you decide) of fat free plain Greek yogurt. And I’d sometimes drizzle sugar free syrup on it (it does have aspartame, I know it’s terrible for me). This tastes so good and helped me lower my cholesterol and keep it in the normal range. I eat a bowl of this most mornings for breakfast.
Does baked beans help
Please try to avoid aspartame… I’m just giving you advice that you don’t need… it’s really bad for you!🤗
Hi! I just came across your video and started to watch. I was just diagnosed with high cholesterol and placed on Crestor, I really don’t want to continue on that med, thank you so much for the info. I will continue watching your videos.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I was on Crestor many years ago, they made me ache all over. I tried another tablet same thing. I went on a diet and lost weight, my next cholesterol reading was down, years later it’s up again, I was offered statins, no way will I go on those meds. So here I am, correcting my diet and listening to this lovely lady.
I recommend bean ceviche! White beans, avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, fresh squeezed lime, some salt to taste. Mix it all up and there you go!
awesome
Nice, I would add salmon to this recipe
BEETS, raw and red onions cilantro lemon oil in salad is excellent.
Thank you so much?
This sounds so yummy! Thanks for sharing!!!
Hello Zonya my cholesterol is 3.66 and my HDL cholesterol is 1.26 I need to eat more beans to lower my Cholesterol have a great day
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Thank you Zonya! I just did blood work and my cholesterol is through the roof!! Time to change it! Thanks for the videos
My favorite apple is Pink Lady- so delicious!
Agree! And honeycrisp
Hi Zonya, for supper tonight I prepared the bean salad and the salmon patties. It was so tasty and delicious! Thank you so much ❤
I do not like red delicious either. The skin is thick and bitter in my opinion. So glad I found your channel. The Dr did all he could to get me on a statin. I said that is never happening. He finally gave up and told me I was the boss. He said I want to see what you can do in 6 months. Then we will talk. Thanks for this great info and great recipes.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Hi Zonya. I am so excited today!! By following your lower cholesterol recipes my total cholesterol is down today from 246 to 220 in 3 months 😊😊. I love all the recipes in this video. Especially the salmon patties!! Thank you and I’m so happy I found you !
Great job!
What really resonated with me in this vid was when Zonya said "We all have to learn how to live in this world." (About the donuts) Seems like a simple statement, but it truly hits home. Thank you Zonya for your inspiration. I started on the right path as a New Years resolution, and you have given me the courage to continue.....hopefully forever. Thanks again.
You are so refreshing & saving lives! Thank you! For years, I've begged my doctor for referrals to a nutritionist, but she refuses & only believes in prescribing medications. She doesn't believe nutrition & supplements can have positive affects on one's health or that nurition & supplements can lower lab results. I have a great insurance policy which covers visits to a nutritionist, but my doctor gate keeper refuses to allow my consult with a registered dietician & won't follow through with referrals for tests requested by my other specialists. This dance with my JPS primary care physician (PCP) in Fort Worth, Texas is exhausting, so backwards & promotes "sick care with prescriptions."
Thank you for your help! I deserve better! I'm trying to find a good nutritionist and a better PCP doctor for my healthy future self.
You definitely need a new doctor fast
Thanks!!!❤
I had blood work and my LDL is 271, I really have to get it down ASAP. Thank you for the info

Wow, just got my bloodwork results for my annual physical required to hold a commercial drivers license. Have used all kind of things to try and reduce cholesterol and this round I dropped 33 from my total cholesterol bringing LDL down to 88! My wife makes a pot of white bean & kale soup a week and it really does the trick. You are a peach Zonya Foco and your advice is spot on!

I have beans twice a day, once in the morning and once again around brunch, coffee beans are amazing :)
Being diabetic and hypertensive I've learnt a lot on types of foods to take.
Stay away from beans then

Excellent Idea! Thank You for the education on beans! My doctor said beans are very bad for me but I actually love beans & I’m going to eat Garbanzo beans once per week!
I cook 1 lb of pinto beans 6 C water or low sodium broth, in my Instant pot for 35-40 min. quick release. I add one whole onion, 3-5 cloves of garlic, 1 Tbsp cumin, 1 Tbsp Chili powder, some salt, pepper, stir and put the lid on your instant pot. I take half out to keep whole, the other half I remove water and use my immersion tool to smash them into healthy Refried beans (no oil or lard) :) Delicious!!
These are fantastic food prep ideas! Thank you for sharing. ;)

@@jennieosborne3530 You can use egg whites to stick your burgers together or you could use oat-bran. Just stir some hot water from the kettle into a cup of oat-bran & mix with your other ingredients. However there is quite a lot of good cholesterol in eggs. You might want to look up the facts & decide what you want to do.
@@jennieosborne3530 eggs yolks are where all the nutrition us, and dont raise cholesterol.
I finally made the 3 bean salad. It’s absolutely delicious 😋 Thanks so much!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you. I love salmon and beans plain.
How long does it take to start seeing results after starting consumption of these foods?
Great info. Thanks for sharing.
Been eating more beans since last year, and started eating lentils last month. Then, I started taking bone, fish, chicken and vegetables broths almost daily - I cook the soups, beans and lentils in broths. The broths did it for me - made me cut down on meat consumption significantly....down from daily to once to three times a week!
I love the taste of the home made broths so much I don't feel the need to eat the meat that much anymore.. The broths have the protein. Nuts and seeds provide the rest. I hope my bodyfat goes down from current 22.9% to 20% or less over the next 3 months. I started jogging on Sunday, I feel good. No major pain or inflammation to deal with this time. Broths have reduced inflammation in my body, finally.
how do you make your broths? are they chicken or beef?
Hello 👋. This is my first time watching. I was told that my cholesterol was a little high and that it's hereditary because my mom had it
I'm a type two diabetic with high cholesterol and everything that you've said about Salmon is true. My HDL, LDL and Triglyceride levels are very good since I've been eating Salmon very often BUT, whenever I consumed those beans and especially Kidney beans, my glucose would spiked through the roof! Although I grew up eating all types of beans and peas and loved them, I can't do so any longer since I'm diabetic. Perhaps other diabetics can enjoyed them all!
I've been able to get my A1c down from 7.3 to 6.0 and am very happy but I'm aiming to go much lower by the time my next blood test is due. Thank you and God bless 🙏❤
Beans have way too many carbs as well as oatmeal for diabetics.
It's always better for you when you put beans in pressure cooker
@@zoey1125
What nonsense! What does pressure cooker has to do with carbs!

@@skinnydee1886 has something to do with destroying the inflammatory lectins.
Thank you those dishes looked so good 😊
They are!
HI hon this is my first time stumbled on your video having high blood pressure prediabetic and high cholesterol I'll try your food thank you very much
Went on a plant based diet loaded with beans and in 9 months since my last stent I needed three additional stents. We're talking pure bean, no added nothing. Beans are also starchy and loaded with carbs. I guess it depends on your particular metabolism.

Thank you fun to watch! YES! I blend three gala apples, 2 granny smith's, water, pinch cinnamon, teensy bit grated ginger and salt. Then I freeze in popcicle forms for my great grandchildren and they love them.
How’s your day going with you Stracey?

Which LDL particle do you recommend lowering Large buoyant LDL or small dense LDL particles? One correlates with metabolic syndrome and the other with good metabolic health.
Are all kinds of beans good for gout ? Thanks .
I just discovered this channel today ! Amen ! I do eat a lot of quinoa, red onion, tomm, garlic, cucumber salad that I love but I needed something to not get bored ! I also need to follow a low fod map diet and it says with the exception of garbanzo beans to avoid beans … I am wondering if beano will help with that ! I am going to try beano and make this salad this evening :) I had my blood work done and my total cholesterol is 280!! And my good cholesterol is 43 … I am losing weight. I lost 13 lbs and I walk daily now …so come Jan after following low cholesterol diet and adding fish and your wonderful recipes I will report back :) I plan to lose 25 lbs by then and they want to retake my blood test. My dr said he wants to see if diet and exercise and losing weight will keep me away from statins which is the goal ! ❤❤❤❤ I am so happy I found this channel ! Also is it ok to avoid chicken and beef and get all proteins from plant based diet alone ?
I did the 3 bean salad, the salmon patties, and I made the tarter sauce. I wasn’t sure about the tarter sauce at first, but I added a little bit more of the Siracha, and it all went together pretty nicely. I had to change up the way I eat. All my numbers are too high. This meal is totally satisfying and I’m not on that destructive path anymore.
Tartar sauce
I'm so excited that I've come across your video for years I have struggled to eat the right foods why has my doctor not told me this ☹️
Dr. Don’t know enough about nutrition to help you.
There's no money in it for them if you are well and healthy! That's also why!
Time for a new doctor or at least a nutritionist consult
This is the 1st time I've seen you - thank you so much for all the great advice! I was craving apples and just picked up a bag of organic Galas at the store yesterday! Looking forward to watching more of your videos !
You are so welcome!
I made the bean salad today 🍽 O my god delicious 😋I had it With cauliflower rice & 🥑 Avocado😋Thank You🙏🏽
Wonderful!
Being 30 years old and having high cholesterol and triglycerides, I had to watch this for a better diet. I am 80kg which I know is overweight. Thank you for the video.

Thank you! This video is easy to follow and informative.
Glad it was helpful Sara!
Enjoyed this video ❤ I'm a vegetarian so will do the bean salad and apple salad. I could live off beans every day just love them.❤
Wonderful!
I just made the 3 bean salad and it is delicious! I need to lower my cholesterol and I want to do it naturally, not with medication. I will try more of your recipes. I am not a cook so thank you for all the explanations.
Great Video. You said beans what about canned black beans? Of course I drain and rinse them also.
What about psyllium? Thanks! You just got another subscriber❤!!
You could use oat-bran instead of almond flour. Oats are great for sticking patties & burgers together.
Great idea!
Oat flour works well too and is much cheaper than almond flour.
@@judyjackson2260 Thankyou. Oat bran is less carbs though, though & expensive almond flour even less.
Thank you so much for this post. I have been separated for three years and have been so unmotivated to eat healthy. I recently found out that my LDL levels are through the roof. I'm not one to take medication and was doing some research on lowering my levels by the time I go back to see my doctor on April 1st. I'm definitely going to follow/subscribe to your channel. I'm going to incorporate some of your ideas. I think I've found my inspiration. Thank you, Zonya
You got this Catherine!!!
@@scottfoco5813 I ordered a couple of your books as well. I'm looking forward to my healthcare journey.
I'm definitely going to do the three bean salad and the salmon patty. Grown up as a child through my 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s. We've always called them salmon croquettes. However, I've never had them baked. And with that dressing I am so sure I'm in for a treat! 😂😜 😃 I'm pretty leery about trying the egg in it because currently I've decided I'm going to lay off her looks something I did years ago.
I have always eaten a healthy diet and exercise, so I was surprised when my LDL was so high! This has come along at the right time for me, I don't want to stay on statins. Thank you for making this video. You are probably saving alot people!😊❤
Awesome Rose! Make sure you subscribe and hit the bell for more upcoming videos.
Zonya, I'm Ann Moore and this is my 1st time watching your RUclips program. Thank you so much for showing me how to create dishes that will help me lower my cholesterol.

Sorry Sonia this is Nancy Tomsic. I’m sorry I did not get your name in the beginning that is not that’s rude. Thank you so much Sonia for for your information and all the knowledge that you have. God bless you happy new year 2023. Hope you can get back to me at your earliest convenience I know you’re busy helping people and if you can make a video on diabetes and hypoglycemia and maybe a little bit of how gastroparesis can cause a severe low blood sugar very bad or insulin resistance. Thank you God bless bye-bye for now. Have a wonderful day.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Golden delicious and Honeycrisp are my two favorite apples!
I walk every day and go to the gym at least 4 times a week. I have been doing it for the last 6 months with more intensity than ever before (I have always been active throughout my life; sometimes more other times a little less).
Your personality is everything! Would love to see more! Thank you!
Thank you! Will do!
