Nice summary. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Great list. I think no. 10 should be wild caught fish, not farmed.
Thanks for list
Thankyou!!!!!
Thank you very much for the list, appreciate it!! To our hearts health!!
I started eating more vegetables, fruits, beans, and one teaspoon of psyllium with a glass of water. I also drink plenty of water! In two months my cholesterol dropped by 23 points! My good cholesterol and triglycerides are in good range.
Just turned 30 years of age and I am type 2 diabetic and 3 months ago my LDL was tested at 111. My doctor prescribed me statins, stating that cholesterol is too high BUT I did NOT take them. I wanted to give myself an opportunity to see if my results would lower with eating cholesterol lowering food. I ate 1-2 cups of the dark chocolate mush Oatmeal EVERY morning for breakfast. A lot of days but not every day, I ate some of the suggestions in the this video (almonds, avocado, tomatoes, hummus, drinking more water etc). I also cut back on a lot of the meat I was eating. Went back for testing 3 months later (yesterday) and my LDL has went down significantly, I'm quite surprise. LDL at 90, and all other results in Lipid Panel within normal range. My diabetes is doing okay with A1C of 6.2. I'm going to continue doing what I'm doing for now and follow up with my doctor in 3-6 months as necessary.
Hope you told your doctor how you lowered it naturally. My doc prescribed too without any discussion. I didn’t pick up from the pharmacy. Is there a kickback for prescribing this medication?
#eatzerocarbs #carnivorediet #reversediabetes #eatmorefat The 'advice' you are getting is literally killing you. Diabetes IS reversable but these numbnuts won't tell you. Just look, you'll be amazed
@@louannhuber2651I’ve had my doctor call me today seeing if I’d be interested in taking statins… I didn’t even know what they’re for, I’ve never discussed cholesterol with my doctor or know whether it’s high or not… seemed more like a sales call than anything else
@@louannhuber2651yes Doctors make money on these statin prescriptions. Hence why they push them so much.
With diabetes oats raise sugar so high tho
Wonderful, I lowered my cholesterol by adding most of these food. My doctor ask me how I did it and I told him that its diet changes. It is odd how some doctors do not know how eating differently really does make a difference!
Yes Bonnie it is so powerful. Thanks for watching and subscribing
What about Ted Yeats rice?
Or Armour could u please help me with some info I have been using
Crestor
Not pleased my LDL STILL HIGH
@@geribruno1207 because maybe it ISN'T too high. Our Bodies MAKE 85% of cholesterol. It's in every cell. You need it for a healthy heart, liver, brain. You know, heart attacks/disease has actually gone UP since a few decades of putting people on something they didn't even know was a "Thing", until someone figured out a way of measuring it in the first place. and blood tests will tell you NOTHING about what is sticking to the walls of your arteries in the first place, just what is flowing THROUGH it.
p0p×w
I wonder if doctors prefer a pill that they can be fairly certain the patient will take regularly, to a “diet change”, when they know how unreliable we can be about any diet in the longer term. My doctor wants me to take a statin to protect the tiny blood vessels in the brain, and hopefully prevent or stave off Alzheimer’s . Can you please comment on that?

I am brand new to your channel and I am so glad to be here. Love your interaction while giving sound advice. I exercise daily and my diet includes 99% of the foods listed. I'm 78 years old and plan to be around for many more years. Can't wait to see and hear more from you.
Glad to have you Claire! 😀
Just want to give a big THANK YOU to all medical personnel - doctors, nurses, and any other medical professionals of any shape or size, to say what a terrific job all are doing amid this crazy past 2 plus years, and even before. I trust all this chaos will not discourage high school graduates from entering medicine. Society needs all. GREAT JOB.
Wow Bonnie. Very kind and thoughtful. We agree. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@TalkingWithDocs How about unsalted cashews?
I’ve definitely had shitty doctors and medical staff. Let’s not blindly praise them all just so you can get thumbs-ups
44 years old my cholesterol is so high 270🤯I’m nervous 😬 I have thyroid issues (hyper) and about 3 points away from being prediabetic I have not been taking care of myself as far as my food choices. I’m on it starting today! I have small kids 10,5,6 I have no choice but to be here on this earth as long as I possibly can. This was all very helpful info with exercise and changing my diet I know I can turn this around. 🙏🏾
Ok now you’re talking! You’ve got this. Best of luck on your journey. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Roy Taylor
The interaction between you two Gents is EXCEPTIONAL. Without doubt, my Fav’ You Tube Channel. Thanks for the great info. We eat almost everything you’ve listed. We’re 62 and 72, hike daily, have a good diet, drink very little and we’re still under the cholesterol markers.
Sounds like a perfect balance Cheryl. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Too clowny lool
I enjoy it when you guys are bantering back and forth 😊
It's such a fun way to deliver valuable information.
Glad you enjoy it!
You guys are great. Thanks for your service to the people!
I started taking red yeast rice capsules and my cholesterol dropped from 240 to 168 in just three months. I was so impressed.
Wow
Thanks for this video!🙏love that you mentioned Dr. Gregor.I am a plant-based chef and want people to learn more about the power of food for their health. Please do more food videos 😘
Ok deal Cristina. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@TalkingWithDocs 🙏🙏🙏
Wow!!! My husband has doing all the right things according to you and I haven’t!! My guy thanks you for the info that he’s been trying to get me to listen to👍
Ok Carole. Time to tell him he was right. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I like this channel the most, it is fun, informative and most of all, the doctors replied my question which i asked in their other video!! All other health channel 99% the doctor will not reply you except when you praise their video they will reply thank you.:)
I’m so pleased to hear that you have grasped the basics of good diet. The adventurous amongst us have known for decades. The vast remainder have always taken YOUR advice and eaten bread and rice etc. I ask you ( god if you would rather) to learn about N O . Teaching the world about this essential molecule will put your cardiologist out of work. Possibly yourselves also. Cheers from your “bitter” reader, Mike
I'm one of those lucky ones who's body likes to over produce cholesterol, even tried a 0 cholesterol diet for 2 weeks and my levels didn't change, I eat healthy and take my statins, considering my fathers side (fathers first heart attack 34 years old, final 52), 3 dead at 52, 1 at 54 and oldest at 76, all the siblings still alive due to the advancements of modern medicine, great info guys and thanks again for taking the time to do this channel.
Very welcome S. thanks for watching and subscribing
Any side effects from the statins? I’m worried to take mine
I found out saturated fat was my culprit. The first find was coconut every thing in my diet increased my number very high. The second time is when I started using grass fed butter , kefir, and cheeses. So very little saturated fat for me. I thought it was cholesterol until the coconut products stole the show and made me come to believe that saturated fat causes my liver to produce more cholesterol than normal.
I'm not alone. I'm a "lucky one" too! Thank you for sharing!
At 60+ my recent med tests indicate high cholesterol. My diet consists of many foods on your list, will add more of what you recommend. My husband has oatmeal every morning with blueberries 🫐, he has low cholesterol. I’m not fond of oatmeal, but plan to eat it with baked apples (no sugar added), cinnamon and plain greek yogurt. We’ll see if it makes a difference. ❤🤞
I trashed your video on "Inflammatory Foods: What to avoid" ( a little bit) because it addressed what not to eat but didn't address what to switch to eating and had no mention of the psychological impact of a drastic change in diet, which would eventually, in short-order order find me in a donut shop in the morning and a bar at night chugging beers. But this video is educating me. It is virtually my shopping list for today as well. Fortunately, I like all of the foods on your list. What do I do with my kitchen's bread, bacon, butter, rice, processed cereals, and sugar? I'll work it out. I appreciate doctors in general, especially both of you, who have a sense of humor. As a former class clown, I appreciate you both adding being wise to being funny.
Great video, thank you. When you do videos like this where you list foods, supplements, or whatever, would you consider putting the list in the description below the video as well? I save videos like this to refer back to and a list would make it easier to find what I am looking for. If my comment rings true for other subscribers, please consider my suggestion. Again, thanks for the informative video.
Sounds great Joseph. We just want to make sure people actually watch the video! Thanks for watching and subscribing
Great suggestion! I would appreciate seeing a list of the foods in the description as well.
I have seen people that have taken the time to list them for every one, but you could just make a list for yourself.
I wrote them down on back of envelope as they talked. Made me concentrate so not to miss one🤗
I love this video!!! And I love you guys…your wit, your play on words & all the wonderful information you provide. I just recently found out my cholesterol is a little high so I’m going to start including the foods you mentioned in this video in my diet. God bless you both & the work you do.
Thanks Debbie. Hope it can help lower it a bit. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I love that you’re talking about nutrition and food. I love that you’re discussing this because actually the doctors don’t get into it at all. They just throw a drug on you. And honestly we need much more education on the nutritional aspects of what we eat and what we don’t eat. I eat almond butter pure organic nothing added and it is really tasty and good. So I hope that’s the same as almonds. They do say now that you should eat fat good fat so I’m confused because they also say lower the carbs.But there’s another group that says the opposite how do I know what the answer is? Thank you I think it is to eat a little bit everything healthfully? With my RA I do get flareups with certain foods so I have to be careful too. It’s very complicated.
Hi Joolz. We say limit the fat. Likely limit the animals. Carbs are ok but not refined carbs. No white bread pasta or rice. Whole grain. And if you are diabetic you have to be careful about some carbs. We don’t want the big sugar spikes that some people get. Almond butter is awesome. Thanks for watching and subscribing
MY pcp just writes prescriptions and has never given me info on diet.
Thanks for the video, Docs! I would love for you guys to do a similar video on triglycerides.
Yes Charles it is in the works. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I did this for 3 months as doc wanted me on meds. Diet brought it lower and he didn’t even care enough to ask what I did. Changed doctors!
Congrats Debbi! Thanks for watching and subscribing
Because i think the drs get a cut on the drugs they prescribe i used to work for drs and the drug reps would come and bring lunches and talk to the drs to sell their drugs so yea i really think they get some money for the drugs they prescribe.
I just recently found your videos and I’m so glad that I did. I’m a WFPB vegan and I really enjoy watching and listening to both of you . Thank Doctors !❤
Very welcome Sherry. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Love the video. I received some crazy high results today on a lipid panel and my “quality metrics” provided messaged me immediately to prescribe statins without asking anything really. So I’m wary …. Good to see living beings in the comment section with similar results. There is obviously hope.
You mentioned a new video coming on some recent studies? Would love to see it if it’s out but I’m not seeing it yet.
Thank you for the great information.
Thanks for mentioning Dr. Michael Greger’s comments on Brazil nuts. He has lots of interesting trivia as well as good general insights into nutrition. Great presentation that inspires me to have more dark green leafy veggies and garlic!
For sure. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Love your channel , I've been eating the things you mentioned for 6 years as that's when I was diagnosed with cardiomyopthy with a very low ejection fraction , and the oats are keeping me healthy as a horse !!
Nice Walter. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Just Porrige oats is that? Thanks
My cardiologist just fired me because I told him I didn’t want to take statins and wanted to make lifestyle changes. Said he couldn’t be my doc if I wasn’t going to take what he prescribed. LDL was 118. Family doc said I didn’t need it. Taking info here and making a shopping list. Thanks for the video!
That seems like an odd choice by your cardiologist
@@TalkingWithDocs you should have heard the whole conversation….
Not odd at all
Sadly, many of most docs want to keep filling those prescriptions instead of working on getting you off of them. 😢
Bc he was going to get cut from the drug reps who sell their drugs that’s y he was mad
I had high cholesterol from following a low carb/high protein diet. It was 279. Dr. gave me some time to work on it. Over the cours of oone year, I increased my carbs, lowered my fat intake and dropped it down to 250. Dr. didn't recommend statins but advised me to keep working on it. I told him I wanted to try the Mediterranean diet. After about 6 weeks, I had my cholesterol checked again. It dropped to 223! Still a tad high but by including many of the foods you listed and reducing my animal protein to once a day, it dropped 27 points! I thought that was pretty impressive! My Dr. was pretty excited as well. One thing I've noticed is that the diet is really high in fiber. I'm hitting the recommended daily amount of fiber for the first time ever.
Hi Rhonda. Way to go! Thanks for watching and subscribing
I’m 34 my LDL is 216 and I’m pre-diabetic my doctor give 2 moths to lower my LDL. My mom died because of massive stroke last month, i’m so stress after she passed away I find food as my comfort zone 😢 the reason my lab results gone crazy. Now I want to focus on my health.”
I’m sorry for the loss of your Mom. You gave your all to her, now is the time to begin on yourself. You did good.
When you feel like eating just eat the right foods. Just buy thr right foods, which makes a difference
Well I’m dumping my high cholesterol medication .. I even have a few huge walnut trees on my property.. and yes I always appreciate your advice as well as your cool humor .. thanks so much… 🙏
Thank you so much both of you. When I saw you were informing us on this particular subject I thought , oh I bet it’s all foods I can’t eat because of my IBS, but no! I was pleasantly surprised. Lots i can eat. So I’m going for it. I would love to lower my cholesterol without going on the drugs. Thanks again . You’re both brilliant, as always. 😉👍

So am 82 yo in excellent health. I have had high cholesterol since I was in my 40's at least. (I donated blood regularly and have records of > 320 always from those records.) I have a degree in Chemistry (Stanford 62) . Took biochemistry from Kornberg and Berg et al.
I have never bought the cholesterol argument. It was flawed from the beginning. The role of cholesterol is positive at least for me and my genetics. The positive role it plays in cell development is never weighed against the negative probability of heart problems or the negative impact of long term statin drugs.
As a scientist I mostly support medical findings. IIn this case the failure to evaluate negative aspects to treatment rank high in my skepticism.
my VO2 is 58-62 for my age that is excellent. etc.
I urge people to read the skeptics before jumping into treatment.
Yes agreed. Cholesterol obviously plays an important role in many functions. Statins don’t eliminate all cholesterol but there are some issues for sure. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Really informative. Unfortunately, some of these increase risk of kidney stones, so they’re out for me. Very frustrating!
That’s too bad Debbie. Thanks for watching and subscribing

Great video Docs - informative, easy to understand and with humour 😊. After two years of lockdown baking my LDL was high - Dr put me on a statin but I’m going to ask him if I can try through diet - most of the things you mentioned are part of my every day diet. No more baking 😆
Maybe just less baking Jennifer. 😀. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I can't stand the sight of a MD but I love these guys. Its not fearful but fun and informative.
Well that’s a very good thing !

Hi test. We can add it to the list for sure. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Excellent s simplified approach and I can vouch for what you gentleman have suggested, I have been using these approaches from a long time had 4 heart attacks but didn’t quit on my workouts and also had a triple bypass in 2018, after these events I have completely reversed my lifestyle, I am diabetic as well from the last 30 years with no complications now I look back and say what is triple bypass, I can hike 13 miles workout at they gym every single day as well as HIIT workouts , my cardiologist told me on my annual checkup that we are not used to seeing patients like you we get those who have reached the bottom and we fix their plumbing only to see them back again after few years, I am on 50 mg Losartan and no diabetic meds whatsoever and yes you can manage your metabolic issues my making food your medicine as well as physical movement. Follow the functional medicine approach it works. Thank you again for putting out wonderful videos.
Thanks so much Kitiona and congrats on all of your hard work and dedication. Wishing you the best going forward. Thanks for watching and subscribing
My primary Doc put me on Arvostatin-and now my muscles are weirdly aching and tend to cramp. I’m going to load up on these foods and see if they can help me reduce my bad cholesterols. Unfortunately all my Filipino relatives have high #s, so I’m wondering about a genetic component. Love your Vids!
Yeah it’s tricky Ron. Hope it helps. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Same here
..Let your doctor know about your muscle pain. It is a sign that the medication is causing you problems and should have your dose lowered or stopped. Try taking Chromium Picolinate (Cinsilin at Costco) for your cholesterol & garlic. Also, add CoQ10. It will protect your heart. (I was told to take this a little over 10 yrs ago by a dr who diagnosed me with sleep apnea. When I had a heart attack 2 years ago my cardiologist who did my angio said my arteries were as clean as a 20 yr old. The heart attack was electrical.
Thank you for all your information. So helpful. Yes thats why I don't take the medication, that was given after my tripple bypass. I changed my diet.it helped me.Amen.❤❤❤
You are so welcome! And congrats
You guys are wonderful! In over 8 years of being bounced from one specialist to another, no one - not even my primary care N.P. who claims to be holistic in her approach! - no one has ever referred me to a nutritionist or dietician. I had a scary ride over six months ago with a subarachnoid hemorrhage, and the neurologist now says I'm ok to stop some of the extras that were prescribed, like an ARB that was doubled and a calcium channel blocker that was added new to my regular beta blocker, all of which I must keep - according to my cardiologist. Stop this not-so-merry go round, I've completed my DNR paperwork and I get to decide! So thanks for your candor and humor! And I'm going to demand a referral for new blood work and food advice from someone who doesn't have the quickest prescription pad in town!

Muito obrigada! Good advice that usually we don't get when in consultation, most doctors just prescribe drugs. I have both the HDL and LDL high, my GP told me to take red rice yeast, but never took the time to explain a specific diet. Glad we can educate ourselves and get some helpful information on RUclips. Thank you both for this precious information.
Very welcome. Food is power!
Very informative, and happy to see that most of the food items are already incorporated into my diet. My typical breakfast is non-fat cottage cheese with flaxseeds, walnuts, blueberries and dried cranberries. And a variety of vitamin supplements including fish oil, flaxseed oil, turmeric, saw palmetto and a glass of low fat milk or oolong tea 😊
Nice Michael. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Yes…i have Very high cholesterol. My Dr is always trying to get me to take a statin. I dont like the side effects. I eat healthy and focus on lean and green. Lots of salads and vegetables. I liked your straightforward approach w the food list. I took notes on my phone and will concentrate on it. Thanks! Also…i enjoy hearing you guys talk..you are not uptight and you have a useful point!
Thanks Janice. We try not to be upright! Thanks for watching and subscribing
Yup, I ate just about all that you shared along with reducing most animal protein a lot. These changes got my overall # down 50 points in 6 months. 💃🏻 Thanks for the video and humor.

My cholesterol is 260, triglycerides are 160, HDL 81, and LDL 147. It's interesting because the foods that are good for cholesterol, cancer, diabetes, blood pressure, etc. are all pretty much the same. Unprocessed foods, leafy greens, berries, avocado, dark choc., fatty fish, nuts and seeds, garlic, ginger, whole grains, etc. but it's fascinating to find in in more detail why and what their specific properties are. Excellent video.
Welcome. Yea just eat real food. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Omg… almost have the same lab results except triglyceride
@@arlenecam4239 what are your triglycerides?
I have triglycerides of 4.2 so been drinking organic beet and tomato juice to lower it pulse a bowlful of spinach everyday
Awesome David. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I LOVE you Doctors! You are real.
Thanks Kathy!
useful information! Thanks! I am Italian and grew up on the "Mediterranean diet" so I do eat a lot of the foods mentioned. Unfortunately, due to the prohibitive cost of so many foods, I have been using a lot of cheap carbs over the past several months. I had a lipid profile done yesterday and was dismayed to see my triglycerides were more than 50 points above the range. My HDL was good, and my LDL was about 20 points above the range. Can you do a video on lowering triglycerides naturally and some cost-effective food alternatives for folks on limited income?
Note: I was surprised that oatmeal didn't make your list? Also, olives! I love olives and olive oil is a staple in my home. It's the Italian butter.
So yes removing added sugar and processed foods is important for lowering cholesterol. Oatmeal is an excellent choice for many things. Best of luck
Dear Talking With Docs, hello. Just curious. You mentioned brazil nuts and their affect to reduce Cholesterol in the arteries.. is that anything to do with arginine being present in nuts? I was so amazed when you mentioned this nut.
(I'm not a doc, nor have any medical knowledge, just fascinated by foods that heal and thank you for making it easy to understand, simple English) 👍
Hi R D. Hard to know the exact mechanism of lowering blood pressure. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Just came across your videos for the first time. The video was great but I’m mildly disappointed as I already consume most of the foods mentioned and still have high cholesterol. But perhaps I will try adding a fiber supplement to see if it helps. Thanks for the information.
Good luck Gotta. Genetics can play a role as well. Thanks for watching and subscribing
So many ways to incorporate these foods into your diet, grind up almonds or buy almond four to make a crust for fat free, sugar free cheese cake. Avocado fudge made with stevia, avocado mousse to get your daily cocoa. Pot or hulled barely porridge, (pearled has the healthy bran removed). Tons of recipes on line. 😊👍👍👍👍👍
There are lots of recipes for sure! Thanks for watching and subscribing
Good information and advice, I am trying to stay off statins and have managed to keep things lower with diet changes and weight loss in the last four years. Thanks for great video.
Very welcome Dr Steve. Congrats. Thanks for watching and subscribing
You two are so good 👏🏼🙏❤️ thank you doctors,!, 😎
Thanks Latina! Thanks for watching and subscribing
The Bob snd Doug McKenzie of Canadian doctors! You guys are fun and awesome!
Fascinating as usual. Thanks, BUT SAD - chicken wings!! I'm a 50+ - year vegetarian. But familial high cholesterol turned up and I had an angina attack about 15 years ago! (no trouble since 2 stents) Genetic, so my sons both inherited this condition from me and my older son died soon after that of a massive heart attack, BUT he was a heavy smoker. Not fair you say. So me and younger son on statins for 15 years. About 3 years ago became vegan and my diet now is super-strict sort of by default. A doctor recently told me that I have the lowest cholesterol numbers he'd ever seen. I'm currently into intermittent fasting and have lost 20 pounds so far, so triglycerides must be nosediving. I've realised that mild depression had led to overeating and weight gain. My target BMI is getting close. Complicated! Diet won't do it all, so unfortunately medication is sometimes necessary, although with the weight loss, etc., I might get my cardiologist to lessen my medication dose. (BTW, I'm gonna try Brazil nuts and hit the chocolate!) I'm already into pretty much all the foods you've mentioned here. You guys add some solid authority to what I gather from other scattered sources. P.S., I avoid fish oil, of course, so take EPA & DHA algae supplement capsules - get the Omega 3s from where the fish get them. P.P.S., smoked paprika TASTES LIKE BACON!!!
Hi Mike. Congrats on all the success so far. Love smoked paprika and yes the algae is a great way to get the omega 3s. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Like your sense of humor added to natural well being.
Doing our best
Interesting video. I’m eager to hear about the studies being done about how harmful cholesterol really is. Like many I have high cholesterol which is being controlled by a medication. I can not take any statins so my doc went to bat with my insurance company to pay for Praluent injection and it was approved. Results are excellent.
Sounds good William. Thanks for watching and subscribing
William, my dr. suggested Praluent or or Repatha just last week. I want to ask you if your Praluent is taken with a statin drug or is it the only med you take for chloesterol? any side effects so far? Thank you.
@@geod3589 I was a good candidate for the Praluent injection because I had tried the statins and could not tolerate the side effects. So, I take only the Praluent and no statins. No side effects with the Praluent!!
@@williamgauthier9294 That sounds good; I'd love to give up the Lipitor and doc says I would see much better results with the injectable meds.
Glad to come across your channel gonna try some of your remedies as far as nuts fruits , flushing with water I’m kind of a picky eater no veggies period hopefully this will bring my ldl and cholesterol down thanks in advance for taking the time to help out stay safe all
Love this video! A year and a half ago a friend asked me to join her program. She’s an MD health coach and she has a 12 week program to better health centered around a whole food plant based low to no fat diet. In 12 weeks with virtually no exercise because I had had a medical procedure which prevented me from doing much exercise at all, my cholesterol dropped from 285 to 195. My LDL, HDL and triglycerides were all good.
I have to tell ..... You two are the best act EVER . Helpful ,massively evidential stuff and FUN . I HOPE YOU TWO ARE .
LECTURERS to Medical STUDENTS .
You are great. I can listen to you the whole day
Please do!
Hello docs - I was wondering where you two were! Hope you’re having a great summer. The cholesterol lowering food suggestions are interesting. I’ve been battling the high cholesterol demon for decades now and I have to say that it has negatively impacted on my enjoyment of food. I’ve given up cheese, meats, butter, alcohol in an attempt to get it under control and still have to take a statin. As I get older I’m rethinking whether it’s really necessary (and worth it). Might be better to pop my clogs with a slice of Brie in one hand and a glass of red wine in the other. At least I’d go out with a smile on my face rather than spinach in my teeth. If I find out one day that all this dietary restriction has been pointless I’ll be some *issed. Thanks for being uplifting and encouraging. Dr. Brad, I hope your tomatoes ripen - fried green tomatoes are quite good but better with butter. ;-)
Hi Libbyann. Nice to be back. So yes the role of cholesterol may have been overstated but your choices will still help reduce the risk of heart attack, high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@TalkingWithDocs Thanks for the encouragement; where can we read more about the possible overstatement of the role of cholesterol?
I have recently given up meat, dairy and eggs. Doing WFPB diet with Salmon once a week. Will test shortly to see if my numbers improve. Last test total cholesterol was 275. Fingers crossed!
@@bonniebenz8792 Good luck - I hope it works out for you.
@@bonniebenz8792 any updated info? My husband and I just got high cholesterol results and need to make dietary changes.
This is my first time watching & I really enjoyed the program. I am on a plant base diet, just wanted to thank u both for the info & give a shout out to all the medical Professionals
Thanks so much Claudia. Welcome to our show!
My old experience. I did APOE genome test. Which showed me that I was not at risk for heart problems but possible cholesterol in the blood.
I’ll find that red rice yeast works wonderfully I love your show today it is one of my favorite you guys have done so far. Yes on fiber.
Too many almonds contain arsenic. Yes on more walnuts and lighter on the almonds.
In the future they will come up with biological genome mapping. One item might be healthy for one person and cause problems for another person.
So glad to hear that doctors are more on board with preventative as we must integrate both systems.
Back in the late 80s I was Dr. Jonathan Wright MD and naturopath assistant in his clinic Tahoma clinic in Washington.
Way back then he would integrate prescriptions sometimes but a lot of times preventative.
Why did the skeleton end up in jail for rolling down the hill❓
Because it’s illegal to roll your own joints. At least in some states. 😂
My opinion is most all diseases I found it on inflammation in the body. I call it Inflammaging.
Thank you once again this was very very informative. Now I’m gonna go jump in my outside ice bath drink my green shake and take a nice long walk at the beach.
I love you guys but I don’t wanna end up on the table. But if I did you need to come to where I live and perform the surgery!!! lol 🤗🤗💃💃💃

I do most of these. I eat a lot of dried refried beans I make in boiling water in a coffee cup and that's dinner. I just had a check up with my dr. He stared at the computer and picked up the 3 problems he sees for me. I am a strict vegetarian and wouldn't eat fish. I love half an avocado for lunch but they have been terrible for months in southern region of the US...dark and moldy inside. I am a diabetic that takes an injection once a month. My dr. gave me 15 min. of time where he did all the talking and looked only at his computer. He said for me to take statins which I know can be bad but I have no heart problems. He said to go back on a BP pill. My BP has been running low almost too low...90/50. Does the color of the grape make a difference? I like the dark ones and not the green ones. I work out hard and eat very clean...nothing processed, no butter or margarines, light on dairy except for cottage cheese and greek yogurt. My last A!C is the lowest I have ever had at 6.2. My dr. said if I was healthy that would be fine but I need to be around 5. I felt so defeated after working my butt off so hard that now I am just going to do what I want. I am 69 and worked a lot of wt. off. Help guys. I am only familiar with barley in soup so what am I missing. I eat bags of salad like potato chips.
Hi Judith. Or is hard to say as everyone is different. Lots of whole foods. Limit processed and all sugar. Ideally no white rice pasta or bread. And exercise. Consider seeing a dietician. Best of luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing
You are DOING AMAZING!!!!! We can only do OUR BEST! Do not beat yourself up about it! Life is too short! You love yourself you love your body and your health, that is very evident!……… IMO….. I would steer clear of any medication’s. That just create another problem and they will piggyback medication’s to Band-Aid that.!!! You were old enough to know your body well enough! Keep on living girlfriend! You are very blessed❤
Maybe add kale.
Excellent!! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!!
Great to see a focus on prevention of disease thru diet and exercise.
All doctors need more nutrition training in Medical school and should spend some time educating their patients during doctor visits.
You are the exception as to providing nutrition education and that is the sad part. Proper nutrition is key to good health. High blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, being over weight, and cancer can all be impacted by what you eat.
We certainly agree Kenz300 x. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I wish all doctors were as good as you two.
Thanks so much Charles

I am 64 years old and have had high cholesterol most of my adult life. My mom also had High cholesterol. My doctor decided that the only way I could control it was by going on a statin. There was no discussion a different way of lowering the cholesterol. I’ve always listened to what the doctor had to say and so I followed his instructions. Tried multiple types of statins and each one I had awful side effects. The doctor told me that it was all in my head. I was resistant to the use of the drug so I was making up the side effects to not take them. Even my cardiologist felt there was no study to show statins cause my side effects. I switched doctors. I’m glad I did. The drug was not only causing my side effects it was killing my kidneys. I’ve now taken the natural way. Lost weight, eat less meat and dairy more fruit and veggies and exercise. Feel great and cholesterol is dropping. Listen to your own body.
Amazing
Time for a new doctor.
I like your comment I want to listen to more comment on choresterol. Thank you so much
Thanks for listening
For the first time in my life i had blood test and urine analysis at 45. I had really bad dizziness, headaching in specific places of my head mostly the area behind my ears. My test were all good results except my cholesterol. Cholesterol was at 300. Dr. Said it should be below 200. Ive stopped eating red meat, cheese, sandwich cold cuts and eat better now mostly rotisserie chicken ,salmon portions and tuna. My symptoms are gone now but im taking a 20mg. Statin pill every 24 hrs. I want to stop taking it but the Dr. Said to go back in 3 mths. Thanks for this info
Welcome. If you want to take the next step consider getting rid of anything with legs, eyes or parents.
Thank you for the video Docs.
Recently had a physical January 2022. Cholesterol was borderline high. Started eating more foods, fruits and vegetables recommended on Talking With Docs and significantly lowered it. No medication needed!!! Thanks.
Hey that is awesome Douglas!! Way to go. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@TalkingWithDocs Thank you Guys.
@@douglasa.5039 how long did it take for you to see results based on your change of diet?
@@silchan3196 After the 4th month. However I do exercise on a regular basis.
Thanks for sharing. I was asked to do the FOMAP diet and it made my LDL high because I eliminated a lot of beans, some fruit types, some leafy greens so now I'm wondering what is best for me and will experiment. Thanks for the detailed info.
