Starting this at the age 25, I do not want to end up like the rest of my family and friends who rely on doctors for everything.
Finally! Someone who knows something. I started "Mastering DIabetes" because I got VERY sick on Keto/low carb after 5 yrs and dumped it recently, (I was a walking scientific dictionary about how to do Keto/low carb "right.") I lost 50% of my hair. With whole plant foods MD I immediately got my arthritic hand working again and my health changed just after 1 week. So, he's gotta be right here, and very excited to know this info!!!
Interesting. Maybe you don’t eat tomatoes anymore - they are known to cause arthritis.
Every body is unique.
My sister is a vegan. She has lost almost her hair on top.
@@AntidoteX2 only if the gut microbiome is out of whack. Fibre Fueled by Dr Will Bulsiewicz will explain ALL. Think he's been on this show. Man is a legend.
@@hula62 but is utterly because she's vegan? I know lots of people who are not vegan and have the same problem. Due to hormones, toxicity, trauma, genetics. List goes on.
When I started the "Plant-based" diet, my Thyroid numbers are "way down", my hair is growing like weeds and my doctor is very helpful, also my BP is almost normal. Plant-based is the WAY TO GO!!
Are you taking any supplementation?
I've been plant based keto for years and my hair has fallen out, but it could also be that I'm lazy with it.
@Dana Breshun i couldn't find him...
@@bluebutterflywellness2273 You need animal fat for skin and hair to be healthy not plant oils.
@@bluebutterflywellness2273 Too much fat overall, check out dr. Peter Rogers videos on fat, he'll explain into very fine detail the problems with it (mostly for our cells' mitochondria etc.)
7 years ago, my husband had a picture taken for his ID card at work. He definitely had quite a bit of gray. We have been Vegan for over 3 years now and his hair is so much darker. We are almost 70 and my hair is the same colour that it was in my 40's. We got excited... if this is what being plant based does on the outside, what's going on, on the inside?
Thanks for all the reinforcement!
What a beautiful way to look at it Penny!
I too am excited now, just thinking about the improvements that must be going on inside!
Thanks for that!
So is mine and I'm not vegan.
I'm 53 and low carb . No gray hair, no dandruff, no thinning.
What vegetables are you eating?
@@maryanntupas1170 All of them.
All my labs were much better almost where they were when I was 30, 30 years ago, and doc ask what I was doing. I said wfpb n she said that is too restrictive. I ask how so....crickets. She countered with I should be eating keto because I need meat. Now I am looking at her sideways and ask why I would need meat. She says b12 deficiency, I responded with I can take a b12 supplement. She continued my exam in silence. I ask if she was OK and she said my eating is so restrictive that she wanted me to do a 6 month followup because she did not feel that I could stick to wfpb. WHAT?? I am so not that type of patient. If I have an issue I listen, research ask questions and if needed take meds. So this surprises me. But unlike Dr Bernard, I ain't trying to teach her anything. I will provide direction on where she can go to learn but that was my last visit to her. Finding a new physician who believes in the healing power of food.
sad that your doctor had the nerve not to congratulate you. My doctor did the same, but unlike you - I did 4 blood tests for them to confirm what I said all along. That is what it'll boil to - you being a meat eater's cash cow - all at your expense. I stopped going to doctors after that - I'm traumatized for life. I hope you get to a better doctor in time before you end up like me.

@@extropiantranshuman I hope they didn’t charge you for all those blood tests too lol?
@@bradleymitcham100 they charged the government - so it's out of my tax dollars.

I have Type II Diabetes. I started an exclusively WFPB lifestyle in April 2021. Even though I am still taking diabetic meds, my A1c has gone from over 11 to 6.6, and my weight has reduced by 50 lbs (without trying). My physician has determined we can start reducing the meds once I reach an A1c of 6.0. I primarily follow Dr. Barnard's protocols for reversing diabetes, and am in love with his cookbook. Thank you for the work both of you (Mr. Carroll and Dr. Barnard) do.
Can you share which cookbook you have …. Thanks 😊
@@VintagePrincess27 Dr. Neal Barnard's Cookbook for Reversing Diabetes. This is the title. It is full of simple and awesome recipes.
You can leave your meds already I'm sure. Very happy you made it 👏👏
Congratulations 🤩😎😁
I bought his book long ago when he was in SF at Barnes & Nobel.
I followed a whole food plant based diet for over 10 years. I stayed away from all oils, but I did consume chia, flax and hemp seeds in order to get enough omega 3's. I started to develop a very severe case of dry eye and discovered that I needed retinol vitamin A to stop this. Vitamin A from veggies only converts 3% of this vitamin into retinol. That said I had to start taking cod liver oil. Within 2-3 weeks my dry eye had completely cleared up. Therefore I have to have oil or suffer with dry eye.
For 4 years now I've been having warm showers followed by cold showers. When I wash my hair, I rinse my hair in comfortably cool water. It's much thicker now.
Do you rinse your scalp in cold water too??
@@MsCValentiner Well, it's comfortably cool.
Thanks a lot to you all Chuck and Dr Neal for your impact in our lives!
Since I’m eating a whole food plant based,my hair is brighter and healthier 😊
Thanks for sharing this wonderful information with everyone that listened to you. 👍🙏🏼
My dandruff disappeared when I became plant-based 35 yrs ago, and it never came back, infact, my hair is thicker and healthier now at 65 yrs old
Do you eat white sugar?
@@abouimrane6140 they prob don't, as sugar would lead to fungal dandruff likely.
Several years ago I decided to cut sugar out of my diet even before becoming plant-based. It stopped my dandruff.
This was absolutely wonderful. Thank you ❤
Learned quite a bit in this video! Thank you! 🙂
I do so enjoy this show
Thanks . Very useful .
Thank you Chuck for this interview. Many thanks🙏
Thank you, Dr Neal Barnard and Chuck Carroll.

28:57 "THERE IS NEVER A CASE WHERE MEAT OR DAIRY OR EGGS ARE REQUIRED IN A DIET." Dr Neal Barnard.
sweet potatoes are great topped with humus and chopped scallions and or cilantro, or fresh salsa if you want spice.
I ate one plain last night. Sent my blood pressure to 280
@@RepentfollowJesus In fairness your system is struggling, it will take weeks to months for this reaction to tone down. But you can succeed in this. Removing processed fats (low or no meats) and replacing with greens and veg will bring a win with your HBP.
Ew
Umm, spring onions and coriander
Wow!!!! Fantastic information.
Dr Thanks for the Info
Almost finished with the book. It's fabulous!
You can put anything on a sweet potato - unfortified nutritional yeast - I use Trader Joe's sweet chili sauce that has no oil and low salt - or ketchup (low salt of course) - I was inspired by Dr. Barnard in 2011 after seeing him on PBS and went on a vegan diet - at first more processed foods and then in 2016 I went on a salt,oil, sugar free vegan diet. My arthritis almost disappeared, my cholesterol went down, I have a lot of energy. I'm almost 70 and my peers are all taking lots of meds and can't go on hikes - but I do. This is an amazing diet and I owe a lot to Dr. Barnard.
LOVED your video. What's the benefit of K2 in combination of D3 in terms of heart attack prevention?
Thanks you.
GOD BLESS!
Dr.barnard I heard you say to avoid coconut oil but in India ladies eat and use cocnout oil in abundance and they have the longest and healthiest hair, what is your reaction to this fact?
I wish doc would respond!
In Vietnam , The generation of my mother ( born in 1913 ) , uses coconut oil ( having green colour ) on hair . And at 89 years old she still have hair .
Put it on the hair but don't put it in the food.
@@nancyd7441koi
I've been using coconut oil (organic) on my hair and it grows like crazy 🙃
This was great.
This really made me think about how I've never even considered a link between hair health/hair loss and diet. So, thank you for bringing this topic to the general population. Great to learn that diet can modulate the expression of baldness. 🙂
I am a vegan for the past two and a half years, my boat Brothers have loss of hair to the front of their forehead, what I noticed about my hair I did not lose here in front of my forehead but it's got thicker since I became a vegan.
Uhh th until
I think you wanted to say both and NOT boat!
Dr. Barnard, I believe in the healing power of food. I learned so much from the sharing of your wisdom. Thank you!
Straight talk as always! Why are you the weight loss champion?
I feel like we need a video explaining inflammation. I have Lupus and when it flares I have some hair loss possibly related to inflammation?
Also many people have receding gums caused in part by inflammation. I’d love to hear about the diet connection.
Great information 🔥
@Dana Breshun Nice
Sweet potatoes with organic Ceylon cinnamon. It’s great for taste & if you’re diabetic.
Ceylon cinnamon powdered can make sweet potatoes taste like a dessert.
10:15 I agree that it depends on the cheese - ones that have 0 protein, no calcium - and are just water + oil + emulsifier and flavoring is something to avoid. There's really great cheeses that're whole foods - one channel showed a green pea cheese where it was whole green peas with added microbes to turn it into cheese - and that I'd approve - it has the protein and nutrients. If you top it with dried basil - which has some of the most calcium of any food out there - outside of green powders like barley grass - you'd get the calcium! My recommendation is pea cheese + basil! However, this is just coming out of my head as I think - so people should experiment to know what's right.
I also make sunflower milk from sunflowers + milk and I don't strain it - maybe that would be nice enough as a liquid mozzarella? I don't know - as sunflower has the protein, but doesn't have much calcium for its fat content. It too would need basil for calcium.
I feel like with the oil-water cheeses - they're ok for a little taste (like a small amount), especially on those veggie pizzas that can be really low in fat, as long as the protein + calcium's somewhere else. That said - I agree with Dr. Barnard - I too am against toxic oils - so you can really just replace the cheese with cheaper, healthier fat alternatives - like whole avocado!
"MSM" Pills (NOW brand) not only regrew but thickened up my hair. It also strengthened my nails so they don't bend and break anymore.
I am very happy to keep learning more about this. Its good for us to look into the connections of our food to our physical health.
Thank you Dr Barnard! I also noticed something else happening with my change to WFPB diet, color is slowly coming back into my white hair! It’s pretty amazing. it is happening very slowly, over 4 years (i cut all meat/flesh and fish) gradually over this time until 2 1/2 years ago when I started to eat really vegan. In a year - I have occasionally eaten meat or seafood/fish like two-3 times a year, but not huge amounts. Last summer I started cutting out oil too.
I’ve been WFPB for six years and my hair is getting whiter. Not that I mind. I like the white better than my light brown.
@@joelleaittama1416 well if you want to have more color, then maybe you want to eat more /mostly green leafy veggies (spinach, beet greens, chard, kale, different lettuces, arugula) then have broccoli rabe, cabbage etc All with vitamin c in the same meal? that’s what I do…. the vitamin c helps us get the nutrients from the green leafy veggies. I hope this helps….

Thank you. I've been following this information it is very helpful because my nappy hair stays short 🤣it's hard to grow but it is taking off now. Thank you 🙏🏾
Another fantastic episode Chuck Carroll & Neal Barnard. Thanks for the information so we can make the best decision for our health which is to eat a Vegan WFPB diet without any processed junk foods.
I would also like to know what can be done for varicose veins with nutrition. Mine are stable since going WFPB and less bothersome as I also lost about 10 lbs. I would much rather change my diet or add physical therapy/exercise to manage the veins than have them treated (especially as they now generally use a glue/foam to seal them). Thank you for bringing this up. Chuck, can you get this subject on the agenda?!
Love your videos. Keep up the great work. WFPB forever!! I am on year 14!!

Hi Chuck. Do you have any video on Diabetic Neuropathy?

I don't know why my flaky shin skin has stopped being flaky in the last 6 months plus, but I've been eating 90% SOS during that time and also showering once a week, doing bootcamp 5 days a week.. My shin legs now look shiny and healthy. I'm 70.
Wish my balding scalp would reverse. I have high cholesterol but in my annual checkup, my triglycerides are now in normal range.
Yay the hair loss topic.
If you think you can't live with salt and sugar, try cutting them out completely for a month. You'll find it near impossible to eat out afterwards because we're so used to all the salt, sugar and oils restaurants add that we don't realize just how much we're ingesting.
LOW SALT IS NECESSARY. THEY'VE SAID IT BEFORE IN OTHER VIDEOS. WE NEED SODIUM, JUST NOT LIKE THE TYPICAL AMERICAN DIET WITH PROCESSED FOODS & JUNK FOODS.
😉🌺✌🏾💚🌺
I couldn’t agree that meat and eggs shouldn’t be in our diet as suggested by this doc. It’s a matter of quality and quantity.
I make a delicious salad with button mushrooms and spanish onion, fresh garlic, lemon juice and, coriander, tiny bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt You can keep the garlic off if is too strong for you.
Check if mushrooms should be cooked before ingestion
What about organic grass fed grass finished beef and dairy?
Nutritional links to FOODS??

Best thing write it down to PCRM directly they can help you out
Check which animo acids make creatine and eat the foods with those amino acids a bit more?
I take levothyroxin for low thyroid. Does this make a difference.
Dr Barnard & Chuck, thank you so so much!
I consider the vegan cheeses, butters as more like condiments. Use very little to add a bit of flavor. Nooch, I put on lots of things for the nutrition, and it tastes great. Normally we use olive oil where it's needed. I try not to be too strict about our diet, because I want to keep my not as enthusiastic family members from going back to their standard diet because they got bored with my cooking. But I consider these things, like the mock meats and frozen desserts as junk food, and eat little of it as a treat. Seems to be working. Our labs look very good, and our weight is almost ideal. So, I think I'm on the right track. Hadn't even considered the hair food connection. Thanks.
Bragg's Nutritional yeast has fairly high amounts of B12. Can we get sufficient amount that way?

I got hair loss from the Covid. I am working very hard to get my beautiful full head of hair back. I will add more veggies. Thank you. My dr. Also suggested biotin and collagen.
Try eating a lot of berries collagen & biotin can help but berries will make hair to grow, and also apply Organic 100% Coconut oil before headbath at least 2hours before, you will see a drastic positive change.
@@swiftswift8896 do you heat the oil first and apply to the scalp?
8:35 I am totally with everyone on getting rid of pizza - as it's too flat-shaped for me to enjoy. Burgers too - too round. I miss the days of having bread with a dip :) I usually turn my pizza into a salad when I top it with a bunch of greens, because then I get the 3d dimensionality I really want! Then it's pretty nice - as a base layer to keep my plate clean and be bread at the end.
calzone is ok

Is there something to help if substantial hair has already been lost??
Are sublingual B12 vitamins better than regular vitamins for absorption?
Does DHT kill hair follicles or render them dormant?
Dr. Barnard: "There is never a case where meat and dairy are required." That, in response to, what if my doctor says don't go vegan? In other words, there is no downside. it is only a win-win situation, this whole foods plant-based diet that Dr. McDougall enlightened me about, say, 35 years ago ( and Dr. Barnard way back then, too) Guess what? They are right, now 64, I am living proof. Simply amazing, especially when compared to my full-blooded sisters and their medical histories by now. From cancer to arthritis to depression to headaches to liver disease to grey thinning hair - well, I could go on - yes, I got them beat. I have had none of these issues (that I know of or needed to be treated for anyway!). And other than my light brown hair having lost it's earlier auburn accents, I'm good there and got plenty. I'm a perfect weight, have tons of energy, sleep great, eat great food (thank you Lindsay Nixon - and Dr. Barnard), and my bowel movements are on time, clean, thorough, and let's just say I wish I could brag more about that. : ) I say this: USE YOUR HEAD people, choose health over sickness. I myself began this journey when I suddenly became vegetarian (on the elevator between my office and the parking garage). I did it entirely for ethical reasons and assumed I'd have to be careful else I'd make myself sick. It was 1984. I was 25 years old. So I looked round and miraculously found The McDougall Program and started following it and it saved my life, especially as compared to my friend who became vegetarian at the same time but gave up meat and substituted dairy - dead of a heart attack before she was 50 (no, it did not run in her family). So, give up meat and dairy because you know it is wrong to enslave those living, feeling individuals - then take glowing health as your just desserts.
I really need help here. My wife is suffering some female pattern diffused baldness, and she does not believe me this will help. Her argument is that Mongolians, where she's originally, have had a diet based in meat and diary and did not have baldness. Help me to counter this argument please!
I wouldn't recommend going outside while eating citrus due to phytophotodermatitis - but I do agree that eating chlorophyll while being in the sun is pretty nice.
Insulin resistance is caused by refined sugars , fructose
Pesto on sweet potatoes is an interesting umami flavor too. My mostly vegan lifestyle (💚🍣) started darkening my hair too so I use platinum toners to keep it silver.
How does the doctor feel about sodium?
I'm interested in what a plant based diet could do for varicose veins. I'm often told it's hereditary and there isn't much I can do about it.
I have only been a vegan for a few months, but my patches of varicose veins have smoothed out, faded from purple-black to magenta-violet, and shrunk in size. My aches and pains have disappeared, I’ve lost weight and I am no longer on any medications. Try it. It cannot hurt and you may get amazing results.
When I went whole food plant based with low oil,salt,sugar a large varicose vein on my leg started getting smaller and smaller. Its still there but its hardly visible now.
Add more alkaline foods to your diet to de-acidify your blood; and add rose hips to strengthen capillary/vessel walls. Remember, Citrus fruits (although acidic) become alkaline once in the stomach. Rose hips often accompany Vit-C suplements, and can also be taken in herbal tea form.

Oh! That’s good to hear. I’ve been taking my B12s every other day (it’s 500 mcg), but wasn’t sure if that was okay. My blood work always comes back crazy high in B12 so I’ll stick with it.
Try ground flaxseed two teaspoons with a smoothie. Beets are also good for high blood pressure
Beet greens even better
I eat a vegan diet and have for years. I have had trouble with alopecia areata. What kinds of things could I do to help this problem?
Did you see what Dr. Barnard said about avoiding gluten? Gluten triggers a lot of autoimmune issues.
Funny I switched to a plant based whole foods diet about two years ago and well my gp just advised me to reverse to previous eating as I have lost more than 50% of my hair in that time! Since starting the reversal to my old eating habits my hair loss has slowed! I am guided not only by my gp but as well a dietitian and a lifestyle’s doctor along with laboratory work every three months! Not everyone thrives on a plant based diet! Know your body and pay attention!
What did you start eating to help your hair and how much a day
@@annelewis7435 I added animal proteins back into my diet along with some dairy ie cheese yogurt and sour cream also went back to eating breads and pasta. These are all in smaller amounts than I was eating prior to starting my plant based journey. this is all along with plenty of vegetables and fruits/nuts. I have started supplementing with Biotin but neither of my doctors have much believe in the pill form of biotin. but happy to say my hair is coming back in the areas it all fell out along with the overall health of my hair.
Appreciate the q&a for hair loss. Speaking for myself, I recently cut out nuts and seeds, besides flaxseed. I did this because even though I didn't use oil, I have terrible dandruff and it's all over my face, too. It's been 2 weeks almost and I feel a lot better. Less anxiety. It's taking some time but I'm hopeful this will stop the dandruff and hair loss around my temples.
To put it in perspective, I used to eat a 2 lb jar of peanut butter every two weeks. And I recently was eating one 1lb jar of sunflower seed butter once a week.
Edit: I noticed I got some likes for this comment. I no longer recommend cutting out all nuts and seeds. My hands got cracked and dry after I did that. I brought them back but you should measure out how much you have. You need them but only small amounts
Flaking scalp and skin can be controlled or eliminated with 200 mg vitamin E.
And remember peanut(butter) is a legume not a nut
Go watch Dr. Eric Berg, he's more reliable.
While I love Chuck, Dr. Barnard and Physicians Committee I think this title is misleading. I had paper and a pen to write a list of foods that prevent hair loss. Perhaps I missed something, I did not hear a list of foods that prevent hair loss. I heard some things to avoid but nothing to specifically include. Help!
Can you explain how fat causes insulin resistance?
You can order veggie pizza without cheese from Pizza Hut and other chains! You get the pizza taste without the dairy. It’s awesome!
I was not diagnosed with pre diabetes or having diabetes .but an elevated A1C reading was 6.2 it s now 5.3 with me working on my diet.Strange though,I eat a small portion of a carbohydrate diet for lunch consists of normal rice with vegetables and chicken almost every day and please note,once per day .I don’t eat or drink sweets and I do consume a lot of apple cider vinegar in water.but my concern is why does my fasting blood sugars read over 100 mg dl on mornings ,though not every morning I t is rare at this time 118mg dl fasting. Most of the times I basically have one meal of carbohydrates during the day.I don’t snack but if i do would have healthy ones nuts but not every day it may be twice or three times for the week .i would prefer to eat paw paw or an apple or a fruit that is good for me.Is it that my sugar levels go up because I don’t eat regularly? Some times if I do test myself by having something small around 5 to 5 30 pm in the afternoon my fasting sugar never reaches 118 as this is my latest concern ,the most it might be is 105’ , to 110 every morning .I test my sugar very often during the day ,I do exercise almost every day at least 6 days per week.and if I do eat my lunches at mid day or late afternoon if I test and my sugar is elevated more than I believe is abnormal, I do exercise also in the afternoon and it goes down normal , I’m not on any medication .I choose to give all this information as I think it may help in a diagnosis. I did loose a lot of weight ,and is always watching the way I eat Thank you for allowing me to burden you with all this may be unnecessary but I think I had to do this .Great knowledge you have to offer ,I m always clicking on.I’m from the Republic Islands of Trinidad and Tobago
You should find the Lord
Is olive oil bad for you? Does it contribute to hair loss?
With B12 other plant based doctors have said that the body only absorbs a small percentage of B12. Because of this the recommendation is to take 500+ mcg to meet the 2.5 mcg needed. Is this tru or not?
Can kids take B12 also??? Cause I heard a combination of Vitamin B and Omega 3 can really help kids with autism???
Another great discussion thank you! I have a question about tablet vs gummy vitamins. I'm vegan and take a B12 supplement in gummy form. No particular reason I choose gummy form other than they taste really good :) I've heard that gummy vitamins aren't as potent as tablets, and you don't absorb as much from them. The B12 I take is 1000 mcg (the smallest dose I could find in a gummy) so I figured if it's not really providing that much I'm still covered because it's more than enough. Are tablets really better to take than gummies?
Ask your doctor for the B12 shot
Check ingredients
I take it in liquid form
Thank you for this great idea. I should try to get B12 gummies because swallowing tabs makes me gag.
I use a liquid spray for me and grandma, more close to nature and taste amazing, the my kind organics range on iherb.
Hi doc
I do not eat any animal products but I’m loosing my hair very badly last three months . What do I do ?
Propecia or avodart for hair regrowth
Atenolol triggers patterned hair loss in women. It's 7% of women but I was in that 7% if I remember correctly. It was enough for me in 9 months to do damage. What seems to have caused hair growth years later? Boiled sweet potatoes every day. Must be the collagen. Don't know but my hair is growing back and is thicker everywhere. There's just a small amount still sparse near the forehead. My body craves the sweet potatoes 🤔. Be careful what meds you take and what the side effects could do to your body and emotional well being. As it turned out i didn't need the BP meds just exercise and control food intake.
Just curious. Are you off the Atenolol now?
I have been on it for thirty years and have female pattern baldness. I am convinced it is the Atenolol. Even though I only take 1/2 of a 25mg. tablet.
My mom has thinning too and has also been on a beta blocker for most her life.
I have been working on getting off mine. I take it for anxiety and heart pounding. Which could also be causing hair loss.
Brilliant stream Dr Barnard
TBH, i have been vegan since like 2013 or something like that, and i have eaten predominatntly good and healthy stuff, lots of kale, broccoli, not much oil almost none processed stuff.
And i still have hair loss, its probably genetics that play a role here too, not only what you eat.
I have hair loss due to chemotherapy.
What an I do?
34:09 I heard kale (and I think polenta with tomato?) is really nice with sweet potato! I'd probably put rice instead of butter - but that's me. Make it more gummy. Some do maple syrup - but it's already high in sugar! Oh I remember now - people top it with avocado - like an avocado toast if it's sliced! I would imagine cinnamon being pretty nice!!! Maybe doing a coconut milk + maple syrup drizzle with cinnamon on top sounds great. I bet I'd do raisins too! I think that's a recipe.
I think cheeseless pizzas are nice if the dough is chewy enough to be like cheese or the veg's and sauce are dry (or chunky) enough to be cheese-like enough to enjoy or not notice the cheese isn't there.
