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

Very well done video. I had a stroke back in 2009 and damaged part of my vision in my left eye. I went to library found dr esseltyn's book changed my diet immediately. With in two weeks changed all my numbers to heart healthy numbers lost about 15 pounds and have been eating plant based since. I'm now 64 and I'm on zero meds mountain bike daily work a very physical job and feel amazing. My eye damage has improved, which the eye doctor said would never happen, and my eye sight also improved. which usually never happens as you age. Just wanted you to know it really works and it works long term . I'm glad you found the truth about heart health it can be very confusing topic. Good luck on your journey. I subscribed to follow your success, I know its going to be great.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments Nick. I would love to interview you for my channel if you wouldn’t mind. If you were interested in this, we could do it on zoom. Please just email me at empowerbeth@gmail.com. Your stroke must’ve been in the right part of your brain. Mine was, and it apparently controlled my left eye. I was fortunate though, and did not lose my sight.
Wow, Nick! Fantastic improvements you've made! I would also love to see you talk about it in an interview on Beth's channel.
I've been following Dr McDogoul for years. He's very similar to Dr Esselstyn. I'm turning 70 this month. I walk 3 to 5 miles daily. I thought your comments thoughtful and well said.
@@songmlf Yes dr mcdougal is awesome been following him since 80's same message easy diet to follow. I'm glad you thriving on plant based diet, good to hear it still works at 70 !
@@nickd8289 If you followed McDougal since the 80's, why did you ignore his advice for almost 30 years?
I recently had a hospital scare after being on carnivore for three weeks, and decided no more for me. I am whole food plant based to stay. I do not know what I was thinking , as my intial thought was to get back to plant based, but got swayed by all the you tube channels and thought it would be a good way to go. I am lucky to not have had a stroke or heart attack but I will never eat that way again. It scared the heck out of me. A commentor on my channel pointed me to your channel and I am so happy they did. I look forward to watching your videos and learning from your experience.
I have been watching you for years and I am plant based for over 6 years.
Who are we to judge but I am so glad you changed your diet for your health.
Dr. Esselstyn is am amazing and inspiring man.
It is very brave of you to come out with your diet change.
So many are recommending diets that are not good for you.
Thanks Beth, I wish you health
Thank you so much and I’m so glad you were also on a heart healthy eating plant. Thanks for sharing that!
Welcome to the plant based lifestyle. I have been watching you for awhile. So glad you made the change
Thank you so much!
You are on the healthiest way of eating- I have been working with a health coach who tailors his program after Dr Esselstyn. My cholesterol dropped 80 points in 5 weeks and I was able to get off of 2 medications! I have Dr Esselstyn’s book and cookbook. And his wife and daughter’s cookbook too. I am so happy you have food this healthy way of eating. Best of health to you!
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing!!
I've been vegan/plant based for decades. I'm so glad you are now on wonderful Dr. Esselstyn's program. You can't do better than him.
Congrats on using critical thinking, logic, and evidence to come to the right conclusion. I ate a high fat Paleo diet for years and ended up with stage 2 heart failure. Was told there wasn't much that could be done.
This led me to eventually finding Esselstyns program and after going on it my condition stabaliized pretty quickly. At this point I'm considered to not even have it. Even my doctor can't believe it.
Good for you! You took charge.
Fantastic testimony! Thank you!
people initally feel good and lose weight on these carnivore/keto plans, for a variety of reasons, but it's a ticking time bomb for their long term health
Enjoyed hearing about your journey to plant based but sorry it had to involve a stroke. I have followed Dr Esselstyn lifestyle 20:24 for years. Most recently found Dr Peter Rogers you tubes. You would love his talks. He is a research based, strict no fat low salt vegan.
@@barbaramadson3859 I just found Dr Rogers recently. I think he's great too! I love his no-nonsense delivery.
I’m soo glad you made this particular change. Wow! Way to go Beth!!! Rooting for you!!! ❤
Thank you so much!!
Highly recommend the documentaries, Forks, Over Knives, and What the Health.
Good luck with everything Beth! And thank you so much for sharing!
You are so welcome!
I have good news you can have peanut butter - fat free peanut butter powder is available! You add water to make it into a paste. They remove all the oil and you are left with just the peanut - it has a really good flavour. It’s called PB2 peanut butter powder . It’s an American product - we can get it in Australia so it should be freely available for you.
So glad you stopped the carnivore diet. I was so worried for you when you said you were continuing with it after your stroke. Thank you for your honest information.
I’m glad I stopped all the meat too. Thank you so much for the info on the powdered peanut butter! It’s now in my Amazon cart! Sounds wonderful!
@@FiftyPlusBeauty it still has enough fat in it.. Be careful with such products better follow the doctors advice
PB2 PURE is want you want.
It’s good!
What a lovely tribute to your brother and I am happy that he and his wife are doing well as vegans. I certainly hope that you and your husband continue to do well. I understand your passion to find a diet that will reverse your heart disease. I cannot imagine how scary it was to have a stroke. Just an FYI I had a beautiful family member that was a lifelong, passionate vegan. She was beautiful and such a picture of health. She had a massive heart attack at the age of 40 and died. We were in shock. How can this be???? It just goes to show that we ALL have to find our paths. I truly hope this diet will be perfect for you. Also, just curious, what did the Doctor say about the hole in your heart? I haven’t heard you address this since you went vegan.
So sorry for your loss. Sadly a person can be vegan and live totally on processed foods, There is a big difference between vegan and whole food plant based.
@@patticurry565 She was a committed Whole Foods, plant based RAW vegan as well as her daughter.
Did she get the covid vaccine?
That's a good point, definitely something to consider. It's happening a lot.@@andreavanda5402
@@andreavanda5402 , Good question and I honestly do not know.
So glad you found Dr Esselstyn! This is one of the people I'd recommend to anyone suffering from heart disease. He has lots of research behind him too which is great. Well done and wishing you great health going forward :)
Im so glad u decided to change ur diet. U seem like a wonderful person and it was insane and dangerous to keep your high fat diet. I hope u reach a lot if people and even save someone life from heart disease.
Thanks so much!!
This is a wise change of course! Congrats! Thankfully you didn’t lose any vitality from your stroke and it helped point you in the right direction. I know it was an unpleasant experience but you seem like you are on the right track to avoid CVD and living a very long life!
I think so too! I wouldn’t recommend that anyone goes through a stroke to try to change their life, but in my case, I think it was really a blessing. I probably have some residual effects from the stroke, may be a bit of memory loss at times, but I really think, the stroke was a gift to me to change the dangerous path I was on. I was just telling my husband Alan last night that thank God for that small stroke because if I had not had that in another year or two years, I could’ve had a major stroke in my life would’ve been immeasurably changed. I feel very lucky and thank you Michael for your nice comment. I appreciate your good thoughts.
Thank you Beth🌸 Eager to hear more about your new eating plan. Wishing you all the health you deserve. 🌸
Thanks!
Beth congratulations. I also spoke with Dr Esselstyn after my cardiac event. I am wfpb oil free for about 1.5 years now. Best decision ever. May i also suggest Dr. McDougal also. His diet is very similar. I use them both. With a little more starches along with my greens and meals.
Thanks for sharing!! Congratulations!
Yes! And Dr. McDougall advocates what he does because he suffered a stroke at a VERY young age! I think even before he reached 20(?)
Thank you so much for sharing this! Your new cholesterol levels are amazing! Looking forward to upcoming videos!
More to come!
Hi Beth. I am 71 and not on any meds, never have been and I have great blood pressure and cholesterol and expect to maintain eating a PB diet. Good luck.
I just watched a video where you stated you went back to carnivore. Happy to see/hear you found Dr. Esselstyn. The information he shares and the documentary Forks Over Knives changed my and my husband's health for the better. We have found that WFPB is truly the best and most beautiful and joyful way of eating.
Wish you all the best Beth. Unfortunately for me, the amount of pain I experience when I eat plants, especially dark shade ones, can be unbearable. I need a mostly meat diet to function. I don't think there's necessarily a one size fits all approach to eating. Fasting can be good too. Hopefully it works out for both of us!
Yes, we each need to find what works for us. I appreciate you sharing.
Thank you, love! I am so happy you shared this valuable information! God bless you and your brother!
You are so welcome! God bless you too!
Awesome video Beth!!!! Please continue to share!🎉
Will do!!
Praise God for your recovery and so thankful to have came across your video. Four years ago I was diagnosed with an irregular heart rate and artery disease. Two months ago I was diagnosed with heart failure. My sweet hubby and I have been on and off a low carb diet for years. Thank you for your inspiration! I’m starting today looking at a plant based diet💕
THANK YOU for sharing your story. Please keep sharing, would love to see your journey and what you eat. I am starting my Plant based diet again also :)
Will do!! Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions on your journey.
So glad you found Dr Esselstyn!
I wish you’d repeat in your updated diet videos that you flew ✈️ and have a heart defect that contributed to a stroke- not just higher cholesterol from eating at McDonald’s?!!
I’m glad that you’re less stressed about a stroke now, peace of mind is key to healing regardless of our ever evolving diet preferences and info. ❤
and the other processed food she consumed. She is dangerous in what she is saying here.
Actually, Alisha those things you mentioned +2 more that the doctors initially thought may have caused my stroke turned out to not be the reason. That’s why I went to diet to look into that. All my life I’ve eaten the standard American diet or been on keto and or carnivore. All of those plans were extremely heavy meat and dairy. I had super high cholesterol after eating so much saturated fat. I won’t do that again for sure.
The process food was nothing more than the standard American diet. Unfortunately, the standard American diet is super high and saturated fat and causes increases in cholesterol and LDL, which are very dangerous for our hearts. Thanks for pointing that out.
@@christinarae9954yes. High cholesterol is extremely dangerous.
Would love to hear more. Other doctors are good as well, Dr. Greiger and Dr. McDougal. Glad you stopped the high fats stuff and went to a much better way of life.
You are a shining example of someone who is a champion for their own health. We can't underestimate the effort (and mind set) it took for you to embrace a whole food plant based diet after years of carnivore and keto. The stroke was a serious wake-up call and you quickly pivoted to this new way of healthier eating. Cheers to you, Beth! 🥳
Thank you so much for your very kind, supportive comment. Yes, I pretty much had drank the Kool-Aid on the carnivore lifestyle. I really didn’t want to change. Actually, I found out it just wasn’t the one stroke I had had, I had actually had 4 to 6 tiny pinpoint strokes sometime in the past. That got my attention, and really caused me to dive into the research more. Apparently if you have lots of tiny, pinpoint strokes, overtime, it can lead to dementia. Ouch!
I read that what is good for your heart is good for your brain. I have APOe4 genes from both parents, which is an indicator I can get late stage Alzheimer’s from both parents and I also have hemochromatosis which greatly affects your heart and liver. I’ll be 74 this year and all my relatives died of heart disease, or Alzheimer’s.
After watching this video my husband and I are definitely going on this diet. We can’t afford to join the $800 program but I will try to do it by reading his book.
I have Alzheimer’s in my family too. You might want to look into the work of the Sherzais-a husband and wife team of doctors that have several books about WFPB for Alzheimer’s.
I watch you all the time, I care for you and ALWAYS WISH YOU THE BEST HEALTH AND LIFE❤❤❤
Thanks Sherry!!
Beth
It's amazing that your cholesterol came down that dramatically in such a short time. You had your stroke in August and I believe you still stayed on the carnivore diet for quite a while after that.
Yes. I’ve just been plant based for three months and the stroke was six months ago.
Anybody can do it - ruclips.net/video/0LuKwsz9Woc/видео.htmlsi=qkY0raZSGMHgyjXW But since it's not an independent risk factor for heart disease, why does it matter? ruclips.net/video/ny2JqAgoORo/видео.htmlsi=oeJy0rR6hpos3nw0
It is safe.your clot came from you wearing compression socks while sitting on an airplane for hours.
The problem is there is no real link between cholesterol and heart attack or stroke. Dr. Esselstyn and cronie's epidemiologic studies are seriously flawed. If one looks into the UNBIASED research, it is the unnatural, man made seed oils/omega 6/lineolic acid , etc. fats that are linked to pathology, not saturated animal fats. The issue is not meat, and animal products. I don't think one has to be extreme in either direction surrounding them. 3 years ago this lady was doing an interview with Dr. Ken Berry and condemning documentaries like Forks over Knives, and this philosophy b/c she was eating that way and was experiencing multiple health issues and weight 200 lbs (per her). I do not understand why she would go back to such an extreme diet that was not working for her - however I do know that the mainstream medical world , particularly cardiology has been captured by the plant based movement. She appears to now be a spokesperson for. I imagine her fear after her stroke allowed her to be manipulated by this movement. This style of eating is not good for anyone long term. I don't think extremely high fat is either. I think finding what works for an individual is best, but that is not what is going on here. She is just promoting another extreme agenda.
The only thing low LDL is correlated with is increased mortality and morbidity. Sadly, those cholesterol numbers are not what are making you or anyone 'heart attack proof'. Other things you and others have/are doing are likely responsible - exercise, good diet (no processed food, no excess sugar, no seed oils, as little PUFA as possible, animal/saturated fat), no smoking, low stress, good social relationships).
@@fryerobert093 I thought that compression socks/stockings were supposed to prevent clots.
I am so happy you discovered "Forks over Knives", Dr. Esselstyn and the plant based way! Great job on leading others! And the food is so much better as a whole food plant based eater
Yes! Thank you!
Glad to see someone turn away from the dark side lol, I’m glad you made it from the stroke, glad you realized your a human part of the ape family which is highly vegetarian not a lion or wolf or polar bear
Yes, I agree with everything you shared. Thanks!
We are not vegetarian we are omnivores. Plant based diet will kill you slowly as you don’t get the red meat vitamins your organs need.
Awesome results! Congrats!!!
Thank you so much 😀
you look amazing !! thank you so much for the great info on plant based diet. Would love more videos as you progress. thanks !!!
Thank you! Will do!
So happy for you and Allan hat you found this!!! And how wonderful that you do this together. My husband and me, and both my parents also follow this. We all feel so much better. My mother is also a heart patient, and she recovered so well. I found your video about the stroke, in which you said you wanted to continue eating carnivore. I was so worried for you. I really hope this will work well for you. I also recommend the book of Dr. Will Buszewizc "Fiber Fueled", in which he also explains a lot about how to keep your hut healthy eating whole food plant based.
Thank you for sharing your impactful story. I've been following Dr. Esselstyn's Reverse Heart Disease Program since getting a diagnosis of CAD in 2022. I'm hoping my angiogram results show a reversal of disease. I wish I started eating this way 50 years ago!
Beth, I am on low carb with high LDL, high total carbohydrates and low triglycerides and normal HDL. I have had multiple lipid fraction tests with a type A result. During this time being on low carb, I significantly reduced my atherosclerotic plaque from moderate to mild in one artery, from mild to no significant plaque observed in two other arteries. The calcification of the arteries went from moderate to mild in one artery in two artery reduce to mild or not observed in other arteries .
I am a lean mass hyper responder that means that my BMI is
And yet somehow data consistently shows populations who eat predominantly higher carb diets have less incident of heart disease. It's as if mechanistic data isnt what matters and health outcomes data is 🤔🤔🤔
Yes, in (some) people because of their genes, their bodies convert the carbs they eat into triglyceride fats. That situation could explain why you and others like yourself like RUclipsr Steak and Butter Gal are able to thrive on those kinds of diets. She too saw much lower triglycerides versus when she were vegan.
We are all different. We don't all use/metabolise energy/calorie sources the same ways.
Yes.
There are many junk food vegans who live on high fat processed foods.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty it is not the animal saturated fats causing the disease. It is the up-regulation of TRPV1 in the pancreatic beta cells that produce insulin stimulated by sugar. The insulin then restimulates TRPV1 again.
Too much TRPV1 causes too much glucose (sugar) metabolism in the cell leading to oxidation in excess of the cell’s antioxidant supply. TRPV1 on mitochondria in the cell -> too much oxidation of lipids(fat)that we see in atherosclerosis.
Too much TRPV1 in the paraventricular nucleus causes low sodium(hyponatremia) and hypoosmolality that stimulates TRPV4 in the artery. TRPV4 and klf4 in atherosclerosis are markers for the dangerous inflammatory phenotype of the smooth muscle cells of the artery that become the foamy macrophages that ingest the oxidized lipids in atherosclerosis while the smooth muscle cells become osteoblast-like cells and deposit calcium in the artery wall. This transcriptome also has a thin fibrous cap over the plaque lesion at high risk of rupture and stroke.
Doctors in medical school are not taught about transient receptor potential channels that include TRPV1 and TRPV4. The pharmaceutical companies know all about these channels and have unsuccessfully tried to develop a systematic drug to counteract them.
I really enjoyed your video. I would love to see your progress! I signed up for the program on June 27th. I started a vegan diet in January and started Dr Esselstyn’s no oil, nuts or avocado diet about 3 weeks ago. look forward to your progress.
I love everything about this video. My first thought was "Wow, what a pendulum shift from one type of diet to the next", but that is exactly what you needed. You did the research, backed it up with solid facts, and now sharing it with others. Very proud of you and your amazing work! Your info box for this video is full of incredible resources that so many viewers will benefit from. God bless.
God bless you too and thank you so much for your beautiful comments. I really feel your support and I appreciate it.
Congratulations on your improvement.
I follow Dr E's diet and improved my health because of it.
One of the first videos I saw of you was wrt you carnivore diet after the stroke.
I cringed at the thought but It's a free country after all.
Please have some followup videos on the diet and your health.
Beth, I am revisiting your channel and am so happy to see that you have abandoned the carnivore diet and see the wonderful benefits of balanced, plant-based eating. I am so happy for you that you are heading in a great direction with your health. Wishing you God's blessings and my heartfelt best as you pursue peace and a healthy, fulfilled life! ❤️
Thanks so much Tammy!
@@FiftyPlusBeauty You're so welcome. ❤️
Good luck on your health journey Beth. Keep us updated.
Will do!
Great video! You explained everything so well. Plant based is the way to go. ❤
I totally agree!
Hi Beth! I am newly subscribed here on your channel and I’m really enjoying the videos ☺️ I was diagnosed with hypertension and high cholesterol about 6 years ago and was prescribed a statin, which I only take half of because it gives me leg cramps and blood pressure meds which I take daily. I also had breast cancer (1st stage and in remission) 5 years ago. I really want to get off my meds and lose weight, so I’m seriously contemplating transitioning to a whole food plant based diet and your videos have inspired me to do so. So thank you! I’m really glad I found you 😊 We really are what we eat ❤ I’ll be watching more of your videos I’m sure ☺️
i never heard of this channel till "mike the vegan" mentioned you that's awesome that you made this switch and didn't get lost further down the insane carnivore rabbit hole
What a dramatic change in your cholesterol in just two months! I have watched you for years and greatly appreciate your honesty with regards to trying something, finding out it didn't work for you, and going in a different direction. Many of us do this in private but by sharing this journey, you have helped so many of us who may be questioning whether we are doing the right thing. There are carnivore diet influencers who look so fit and healthy eating the way you used to. I wonder for how long. Then I look at Whole Food Plant Based people like Miki Kirk, Dr. Esselstyn, Dr. John McDougall, and Dr. T. Colin Campbell, all who are living into their late 80's and 90's and are sharp as a tack and I wonder to myself, "should I be listening to these wise "old" people who have lived and eaten this way for decades and are mostly medication free or the younger carnivore diet influencers who are still in their prime?"
I am so happy for you! I was whole food plant based for 8 years. Gained weight and inflammation and did horrible... Its a great diet for those who can do it! I tried it all. Check out Mary's Mini ( by Dr McDougall). Chef Aj, Brandnewvegan (Chuck) had a stroke eating whole food plant based. You can read about it. Dr Esselstyn's, wife is Ann and Jane is his daughter. They have a new cookbook out too.
I was deep into wfbp. I really hope it works for you! I wish it did for me. Carnivore is the only thing that has worked for me.
I’m so glad carnivore is working for you and thanks for sharing.
I cannot find anything on the stroke incident for this person you mentioned. Link?
@@stacyandrongriffin1574 I don't do blogs, so I can't link it. But you can find the information on his website which I did list. Read his about me. And you will find the link to his blog post.
@@stacyandrongriffin1574 Me either
glad you re doing better but I've read that just salt alone, even on the low fat vegan diet can still cause a stroke....just thought to mention this....
As a male vegan under fifty, my only previous experience of you, was seeing you say you were going to continue eating carnivore your stroke. I'm so very happy to see this video. Congratulations to you! Live long and prosper!
Thank you so much!
Beth, you’re amazing and what a great tribute to your brother! Btw, I live in Houston and worked for Shell in the early 2000’s. Around 2003-2010. Best company I ever worked for. Didn’t know your brother, but hearing he worked there almost makes me feel like he’s my “brother” too…lol😊😊
That is awesome! I think she was a great company to work for. Leslie and his wife just retired but they really enjoyed it there.
I’ll tell you one thing for sure. You can get whiplash listening to people on RUclips. For as many people that are all for WFPB foods there are just as many that are all for carnivore/keto. It just depends on who you listen to. So I guess what we all have to do is decide for ourselves what works best for our bodies.
It sounds like Beth has found what works best for her and that’s wonderful. ❤
Thanks so much. It is all very confusing. What I have found though is that instead of just listening to the RUclipsr, I need to actually go read the studies they espouse. There are some RUclipsrs though that do all of the research on any given topic and provide exact links to everything. Michael Gregor, who wrote How Not to Die is one of those and I feel I can really trust his information. One study does not the truth make. You were so right!
Amazing results! Good for you and your husband for taking your health into your own hands. Some very compelling studies about The Blue Zones diets as well. I’ve had tremendous success in lowering my cholesterol quickly when I cut out saturated fats. I still eat nuts daily and the Whole Food plant based diet has worked for me very well. 🎉
That’s just awesome and thanks for sharing that! I have just found some research that shows 1 ounce of nuts a day really decreases the risk of stroke. Yesterday I had an ounce of walnuts. I think you’re on the right path there.
Whole foods plant bases 6 years now, I think the diet change is a great way to lower risk and heal the endothelium
Thank you Beth for this as I've been on low fat vegan to reduce my blood pressure yet have had fatigue issues and then crave meat.. so have been having a little here and there.....then looked at the carnivore diet as everyone looked so healthy and seem to be doing well!! But this confirms my gut feeling about it all.. I remember a keto guy.. a fitness guru on high fat diet years ago having a massive heart attack in the gym... was saved as there was a doctor working out near him!!! Also apparently Dr Atkins had pretty major heart disease according to his autopsy....
Yes, Dr Atkins died at almost 300 lbs with heart disease. Maybe you should get your blood work done again as you might need some other supplements.🤗
I am so happy you found dr Esselstyn! I don’t have heart disease myself but love this eating lifestyle. And especially love the youtube cooking shows of jane and ann Essstyn. Glad you found them! They will give you so much inspiration in your health journey.
Thanks so much for your nice comment! I appreciate that.
Yay! I’m happy to hear of your change and great results. I too recently started following the Esselstyns (cookbook and RUclips). I can’t wait to hear what you enjoy eating. ❤
Thank you! I am so happy you were following his eating plan too! Nice to have you on this journey with me.
Fantastic & informative video Beth!!! Thanks so much for sharing your journey. For me, the hardest part of your new diet would be the plant fats. Good for you & your husband for sticking to it!
You are so welcome!
When you eat meat your cholesterol will go up but there's more and more evidence coming out that cholesterol is not what causes heart disease. Insulin resistance is a bigger problem. There is a lot of research that support both sides plants vs. meats. It's complicated but you have to do what feels right for you. Best of health!
Thanks so much for your comment. I really appreciate that.
So glad you changed to plant based. I'm 70 been on Dr McDogoul diet for years it's basically the same as Dr Esselstyn
Beth❤❤❤ I so hope you see this comment. I can not thank you enough. I have been slim most of my life but just like you I have intestinal problem s and found the keto diet to help so much in fact I was normal. I heard you tell of your high cholesterol and since I had an appointment with my doctor I asked if he would test my cholesterol. He laughed at me and said that I would never have that problem but I was tested anyway, but long story short I now have high cholesterol. I am so shocked . Had it not been for you I wouldn’t have thought to get tested and a stroke could be in my future. Thank you so much for what you do. I think salads, vegetables and oatmeal are in my future. I couldn’t wait to tell you how right you are in sharing this info. ❤
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! I am so glad you had your cholesterol tested. It really doesn’t take too long on a plant-based diet to see very positive changes in that. Many blessings to you and I wish you wonderful good health.
I wish you wellness…love to hear about your progress… best
Thanks!
I am so glad you found doctorEsselstyn. He is amazing .I also follow his program .Veggies are definitely the way to go!
I totally agree!
Yeah but veggies aren’t SEXY, though! 😆
Stroke is definitely scary! Glad you are finding your way and researching how to reverse heart disease. When you say “heart disease” are you saying you have atherosclerosis in your coronary arteries? Thank you for sharing and look forward to your updates.
No, I am not saying that and I think they did not find that. Unfortunately, though, when you have a stroke, they consider that an early precursor to heart disease. It means the veins in my body are not doing well and somewhere I threw off a clot. That surprised me too, as I wasn’t aware that a stroke meant heart disease initially.
@@FiftyPlusBeautygotcha. Thank you for taking the time to explain! ❤
Hello! Congratulations on the journey and the channel! I am very happy for the fantastic recovery and for sharing it with everyone. I wanted to ask if this adoption of carbohydrates has caused weight gain. This is my biggest fear about abandoning the Keto diet. Thank you for everything and best wishes!
Thank you so much! No, surprisingly I have actually lost weight on this eating plan. Many people have a great deal of success losing weight on a Whole Foods plant-based diet.
After you stroke and your video with you saying you were going to continue the carnivore diet I actually unsubscribed to your channel, I apologize but I just thought, ok this lady is not playing with a full deck and I'm not going to follow her anymore. I actually watch Mic the vegan's video and he showed you went to Dr Esselstyn and I screamed out loud - YES!!!!! I came back to your channel and subscribed again. I am SO HAPPY you are putting your health first and did a drastic change, your body will respond quickly, it wants to heal!! So happy for you and thank you so much for sharing and possibly saving someone else's life. Wanted to mention - I have been vegan for 31 years and in my 50's. No medications, perfect blood markers, muscle mass and thriving. I think you are going to like the WFPB way of living.
I can’t tell you how happy I am for you that you are on the health path you are on now! I have been eating a Whole Foods plant based diet for years now and managing my health with lifestyle choices versus the more conventional route. I have found great recipes through The Happy Herbivore cookbooks, John McDougall, MD cookbooks, Plant You cookbook…to name a few. There are so many great plant based resources available!!
Hi Sandra. Thanks for all the great cookbook recommendations! I have to admit that has been hard for me to find good plant-based recipes. I really appreciate that.
@@FiftyPlusBeauty I should have mentioned, I like quick and easy recipes that are delicious. These cookbooks are all of that! It made it easy for me to stick to a plant based way of eating!
I got very sick on an all plant based diet. Yes my cholesterol was low but I had no energy, I became hypoglycemic, swollen joints and arthritis pain. One doctor told me that I needed protein from meat in order to feel better again. I went on the carnivore diet and everything got better except for my cholesterol. It went up. I am now going to have a cardiac score test to see if my arteries are blocked. If they are I will have to consider meat with lower fat and less fat in general. A complete plant based diet just did not work for me.
You might of not been eating enough calories
Thank you for sharing, Beth. Please keep up updated on your progress.
Beth I am so proud of you. I mentioned on a previous comment that my husband had a TIA last month, he won’t go plant based, which I believe in. I have changed his diet ,to be low fat, and once a week make a vegan meal for him. Please don’t listen to the negative comments. You look wonderful. 🤗😘
Thanks so much, Julie! I am so sorry your husband had a TIA last month. It sounds like you were doing all the right things though. Blessings to you both. Good health to him especially
@@FiftyPlusBeauty 💞
Congratulations to you for doing The work to improve your health and for getting results! Not a lot of people will go out of their comfort zone to improve their health. 👏👏👏
Thanks so much!!
Beth thank you for sharing. You commitment to this frastic change is admirable at the very least. Best of luck and to many more healthy years 🎉
Thank you so much, Gina! I really appreciate that!
Thank you for keeping us updated on your journey!! Can a person with pretty severe ibs do this diet??
The Gut Health MD Dr Will Bulsiewicz has a similar plant based approach but concentrates on healing the gut and microbiome. His book, The Fibre Fuelled Cookbook is very helpful, has sections for working out food intolerances, and the recipes are great. He is an award winning gastroenterologist and on social media as well. Hope that's helpful ☺️
Yes you can but it is a bit more challenging. I am going to be making a video about that later this week and it will air soon.
What a fantastic video! I can’t wait to hear more about the program you are following. I would have never know you had a stroke a few months ago - you look beautiful! ♥️
she said after her stroke that she took the EXPERIMENTAL covid vx. These are causing strokes & heart attacks in all age groups including children. watch "d...r fuellmich grand jury day 1" = shocking exposing how dangerous these experimental shots really are.
Thank you so much! You’re a sweetheart!
Please send me a link to the actual research because I cannot find anything like that anywhere. I do find actual research that shows that having Covid can increase one’s risk for strokes and or blood clots. Please do send me a link because as far as I can tell it isn’t there. A link to the actual research.
I am so glad that RUclips recommended me this video today. You are so joyful to watch. You were so proud of your brother. and all that only reflects on you as a nice person yourself. Thank you for sharing your journey on the WFPB and congrats on gaining back your health.
Thank you so much for your very kind comments and I’m glad you found my channel. Yes, my brother is truly an amazing human being!
Cholesterol is not a disease. Inflammation is the key ingredient to heart disease. Also, keeping BP normal is just as important . Avoiding "processed" foods, also known as "products" is key. Everyone is different, but I believe the decades of our younger days eating the garbage has a way to cause our health issues. I wish you the best and prefer watching your beauty stuff. ❤️
What causes high LDL cholesterol you guessed it inflammation it’s not 2 separate things 😂
Excess Apo B lipoprotein, which carry LDL-c have been shown to be CAUSAL to atherosclerosis.
@@jeovanniperez3949 your point is not clear??? Say again .
@@Christinalovescats1958 people that say inflammation is what causes heart disease always trys to see it as a separate thing from high LdL cholesterol when it’s all connected actually cus when when your LdL is high that means you have inflammation in your arteries
@@jeovanniperez3949 not true.
As a vegan..gained 30 ils could not stop eating /inflamation/auto immune disease.knee relacement....carnivoire lost 30 lbs ...no pain
Maybe for some that works. Sounds like it has for you. Some of us are more prone to heart disease because it runs in our family. There could be many reasons for one working for a person & not the other.
You were eating too many calories. It wasn't the vegan diet
Be very careful with keeping an eye on your blood work. I have seen many people get extremely sick on keto let alone carnivore. You might feel better initially but you can't see your insides and please remember, a heart attack or stroke can be devastating to your quality of life.
@@calebwert1057you don’t know anything about this person. You don’t know what she ate. Best to just speak for yourself or at least ask questions. Diet helps a lot but isn’t everything.
Don't know what you ate, but whole food plant based and vegan are two very different diets
Thank you for this I’m going to be taking Dr. essy’s program as well so how has things been this far after your lifestyle change on the plant based whole food diet
Beth, heartfelt thanks for sharing your experiences. I would love to adopt a similar diet but, try as I might, am so “over the food” by dinner time that I go completely off plan. How are you finding the food? Any tips?
Honestly I think the stroke gave me extra motivation. I will make a video about how to make it easier.
Beth, I'm hoping your new plan is just what you need. My vegan friend loaned me Forks over Knives and actually gave me a copy of How Not To Die. I've glanced at it but not read it too much. I'm trying the Keto diet (according to Dr. Westman) for 3 weeks because I'm just desperate to find something I can stay with. May God bless you with great health. You certainly have done your research.
Hi. Cinnie. It’s always nice to hear from you and I’m so glad you found a diet which is working for you. If you have a chance, do you watch forks over knives. It is amazingly entertaining and kind of fun to watch! I am so with you on Michael Gregor’s s book though. I purchased How Not to Die and it just seemed like it would be reading the Bible! Lol! I ended up getting it as an audible book and I can handle it that way. His books are chalk full of great info, but sometimes I think it’s too much of a good thing! Lol! God bless you, Cinnie! I hope you have a wonderful week
@@FiftyPlusBeauty Love the idea of the audible book! I need to do more of that. For some reason I don't think of it, but it sure would solve some of my time dilemma. Good luck to us both! :)
Beth, your cholesterol numbers are AMAZING!! Good for you!
Thank you so much!
Cholesterol is not the case of heart disease.look up the minasoda coronary experi.ent .it showed the people with the highest cholesterol lived the longest
Your taught wrong
@@fryerobert093 what studies show that? You have to look at the culmination of studies and not just one obscure study. All the population studies, correlations and even double blind clinical trials say ldl is 100% a player in the damage of the endothelial tissue (the walls) of the arteries. But if you can cite some studies, I’d love to read them, at least to get another scientific perspective.
Beth, so happy your doing so well! Thank you for sharing this valuable information. Look forward to hearing more about your journey. Stay healthy!
Thanks!!
Good for you!! I'm in the same boat, tried carnivore for 3 months but then became really concerned because I do have heart disease. After 3 months quickly stopped the carnivore, glad that I did.I just couldn't find the answers I needed for the results of carnivore diet and heart disease. Although Im off carnivore diet, I will admit..it was DELICIOUS!!!!! Haha
Yes! Nothing like those bacon cheeseburgers!!
I would love to see a What I Eat in a Day video. Thank you for your bravery 😊
Coming soon!
Awesome video and content Beth! I have the "How not to Die" book given to me from a great friend/doctor a couple years ago, and yet I still forged ahead thinking low carb/keto was the only way to be healthy and not gain weight as I've aged.
You have changed my way of thinking 100% and I am so appreciative. Will be starting this diet ASAP.
Thank you for this. Are you not eating protein at all anymore in the way of meats?
Hi Susan. No, I am not eating any meat at all for protein. I will be doing a video about that soon as the research shows we Americans think we need way too much protein. Am so happy you will be joining me in this. You’ll be surprised at how much weight you can lose on the Whole Foods plant-based diet. I didn’t really need to lose any weight and I’ve lost a couple of pounds. My husband, Alan has lost 15 pounds which he did need to lose on this eating plan. He is very happy.
The Cleveland Clinic is wonderful. He sounds like a very educated Dr.
I have never heard you so excited about a topic. I can hear and see your passion. Thank you for sharing your experience. You are inspiring. Interestingly, I have been thinking about going vegan for a few weeks now. Thank you !!!!
Thank you so much!
Beth thankyou for sharing your journey on a plant based diet resulting in lowering your LDL. Please keep sharing with us the tips you learn along the way. Esp recipes.
Thank you! Will do!
I’m glad that ur feeling better and happy with ur decision to switch up ur eating plan Beth. I really enjoy ur channel and only wish the best for u. I’m curious how ur IBS symptoms are with this change in ur diet? Wasn’t that one of the main reasons u went carnivore in the first place?
Yes it was. I will be making a video about that later this week.
Love this!! I’m WFPB too ❤
Yay!!
So happy for you Beth! 😊I’m WFPB, age 63 with no disease and on no prescription drugs! I’ve been following the same docs and and many youtube recipe channels for 20+ years. I had breast cancer and will never eat the SAD diet again.
A tip for a salad dressing to mimic oil & vinegar is to use aqua faba from chick peas, add garlic, herbs, spices, etc. 💚
Yes the biggest step is to get off SAD & shop the outer aisles of the grocery store.
Thanks so much for the recipe! Glad you’re doing so well!
The best way to eat to prevent all the lifestyle diseases! Good for you!
Thanks for sharing, Beth. My blood numbers are always better on plant based. I probably need to cut down on avocados and nuts. Shame about your lovely peanut butter sandwich but maybe when you're a few months on the program you can ease up and have the occasional treat. I'm never totally perfect on my plant-based diet. I enjoy eating it much more than meat-based. I happen to love vegetables - zucchini (peeled) is one that never affects my IBS. I also make sure beans are well soaked and cooked (pressurised is best) to minimise IBS problems. Small frequent meal, easy on the raw. I used to like Dr. Neal Barnard but found he was too low on fats. I need some in my diet. Good health to you for 2024 and beyond xoxo
Thanks for the tips on the IBS. Yes. I hope to be able to add the peanut butter back in sometime in the future.
awesome video
Thanks!
I came to your channel for the beauty tips and I’m staying after this video, nothing like a real health scare to really make you reconsider everything huh?I’ve been plant based for nearly 8 years and people keep telling me that I look a lot younger. Just last Sunday a lady asked me my age (41) and she was in shock telling me I look late 20s (I don’t think I look that much younger) anyways, Dr Esselstyn is one of the first doctors I started following after watching Forks over knives and that image of one his patient’s arteries is what comes to my mind whenever I start doubting my diet. Covid did play a little number on my nervous system but so it did to many people regardless of their diet. I also think even if you’re plant based is very important to supplement, you could have the perfect diet but soils are just depleted, produce is not as nutritious anymore. And some of us genetically need more nutrients than other people, so don’t neglect supplementation. I’ve read b12 is also related to strokes so have a look at that.
YES YES YES Please , more info ....anything you can share about this. My story is similar to yours except for the stroke but heart disease & especially stroke run in our family. I was on Keto for years then kept trying to do Carnivore but I dont like meat too much. I mostly love dairy products. I have gotten higher cholesterol & been put on statins. I feel tired & sluggish. My husband kept saying he didn't think the keto or carnivore were safe & kept suggesting to me the Mediterranean diet. I am going to start eating fruits & veggies starting tomorrow! So glad your new video popped up! Thank you so much!
I am so glad you found my video! I am so glad also that you didn’t have to have a stroke before you really thought about this. What we eat is really a very serious issue especially with regard to heart disease. God bless you and thanks so much for sharing that.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. You have inspired me to commit to eating this way - my goal is to wean myself off of olive oil, which I love!
You are so welcome! Glad you’re here.
Well done!
Thanks!
Your videos are excellent and I’m happy to hear that you have stopped the keto/carnivore diets. Have you watched any of Brooke Goldner’s videos yet? I think she has brought the plant based approach to a modern standard by slaying many myths.
Thanks so much! I did not know about her channel, but I just went there and downloaded a bunch of of her videos. She seems excellent!
Dr. Esselstyn is an amazing Doc!....love him and I have one of his books... I have zero health problems and I do a low fat high carb plant based diet and my favorite people I follow closely is Dr Michael Greger (Author of the " how not to die" book) and The Medical Medium and I think you might want to check them out also....
Thanks for your great comments! I also love Dr. Gregor too. I am so glad your health is doing well also.
Fantastic reversal of your numbers, Beth!! Wow! Keep it going!! Great video! Thank you!!!
Thank you! Will do!
