Outrage,yes. I survived a heart attack at 30 while training for my first triathlon. The only remedy advised to me was a triple bypass. Horrible experience. I was told by a nurse I’d have another one in the next ten years while I was still in the hospital. Rehab was no help in term of diet. The best I could expect was a chance I wouldn’t have another heart attack. I had to learn about plant-based eating 9 years later. Drs still make me feel I am crazy when I tell them what I learned and what I do. Why did it have to waste so many years! I am grateful to truthspeakers like you. Plant-based since July and depression is gone and cholesterol went from 200 to 70. Don’t believe the lies, friends!

that's good. @tedpace5165 one of the things that makes me sad when I see really big ppl is the animal lives lost for the disease.. and no I dont hate the people, I know it is often sexual abuse or abandonment. xxx
@@leonardodavinci7425 he looks normal to me. It's not like he has trained to be an athlete or anything. I would like to see how you look if you did a lot of traveling and researching as well as working on a practice treating and informing people.
The more Rich Roll interviews I watch, the more I am impressed with Rich Roll's interviewing skills. I actually think he might be one of the best interviewers in the world. Also, Dr. Michael Greger is one of my favourite interviewees... so that doesn't hurt.
Learning Dr Greger has five dogs makes me love him even more. Can he let us know how he feeds his dogs to improve their longevity and insure their health? !!
good question. x im feeding my dog home cooked meals but he eats meat. meanwhile im cooking lentils for me as we speak! Ive heard some dogs respond badly to legumes.
Without a doubt, my absolute FAVORITE plant-based doctor and my favorite interviewer! This was like a dream come true! Dr. Greger should win a Nobel Peace Prize for all the good he offers to humanity. This man is unlike almost everyone else on the planet, wtih his wisdom, intelligence, compassion, kindheartedness, focus, intensity, etc. How many of us can truly say, "I owe that man my life!" ?
@@pkae85 Dr Greger has done more for humanity than you will ever do. He does more for humanity in a single year, than you would accomplish during a lifetime. Examples: Dr Gregers work with nutritionfacts.org helped me to lose weight, helped my friend to decrease his insuline as a type 1 diabetic, and helped my father in law get off blood pressure medication and cholesterol lowering medication. When you save the lives of your fellow humans, then you can come back and write bullshit and point fingers.
It’s comforting to hear that even Rich Roll and Dr. Greger are both still tempted by sweets and cheese! Makes me feel better to know it still happens, but it can be overcome.
I consider myself very lucky not to be tempted by the same. But I am still human: I eat too many salty snacks (like chips and alike)! Working on it ...
I still miss pizza at times. I’ve tried to allow myself a cheat meal every few months, but it’s not worth it. It hurts my stomach so bad I’m miserable for hours.
Can't even describe how huge of a smile I had when I saw this in my subscription feed, the best duo ever. Loved the podcast & really appreciate the addition of the timestamps in video feature. Thanks Rich ♥️🤗🍎🥦🥒🍅
I could listen to Dr Greger all day everyday, his voice is calming and the information is A+. Forever grateful he devotes so much of his life to digging through the data for us.... make the world happier and healthier
The comments here are so thrilling to read. Dr. Gregor, all of us couldn't be more grateful for what you are doing. You're a hero and yes, you have changed thousands of lives (including mine) for the better. Rich, thank you for producing this video!
I'm glad I watched this until the end. I just realized a few years ago that I'm not the only one who has those glitches, as he called it. I jumped in all the way but I do a vegan brownie in a cup every evening. I still noticed the sweetness of that roasted (plain) zucchini this evening. I was flabergasted. I was so happy also when I went into my garden and picked a sugar snap peas and ate it. WOW! I'm so happy now and it's only been a couple of weeks. I feel so good now. It's a little hard when I have to go out to eat with my 89 year old mother (cracker barrel, Bob Evans, etc.) It's sad how those places have nothing but a salad. I'm trying to let them know we need more choices. I'm glad I don't go to the Dr at my age. I'm 56 and have nothing wrong with me. Yay! The reason I started eating this way was because my mother takes 10 pills just in the morning because of all her Heath problems. Thanks guys for making this video! So much information.
I pack my own food to the restaurant and offer to pay a plating fee. I also tip as if I ordered. Most places have been very kind to me. I mention health needs.
@@kathey1981 It seems a bit strange to take my own ready to eat food but I am recovering from cancer and can't afford to eat anything that doesn't fight cancer. That experience has made me bold and assertive, possibly bordering on rude because you have to admit what I do sounds a bit shocking, but I am serious about living.
@@happycook6737 I can totally understand that! My brother died of cancer at 51. I don't know if he and Mom went out to eat very much when he lived with her while he was sick or not. I do know he went to a natural doctor whatever they're called. He juiced every day and did all kinds of what we would think were crazy things but he did live 3 years that the doctors didn't think he would. I pray that you beat cancer and live a long healthy life.
Amazing! Michael Gregor is changing my life of addiction to one of good health and freedom. Love this podcast. Thank you Rich! My prayer is for all the world to hear it!
DR. Greger: he is great....he has changed my way of thinking, and changed my life,....and am now fully Vegan. All from that start point of reading 'How not to Die'
I love Dr. Greger: Not only is he a wealth of very important information, but his delivery is done in with a playfulness and a sense of humour that I find engaging.
Remember he will have been asked similar questions for years and years, and he’s bubbling with enthusiasm for his subject - although both these guys are highly intelligent and verbally skilled, verbosity isn’t necessarily correlated with genius.
Reading "How Not To Die"; also using cookbook. In two months on PB eating.....lab work on my A1c went from 6.3 to 5.5. Am I happy.....YES. Thank you Dr. Greger. Love my food!
Good for you I guess. I don't have anything against Joe, but he always agrees with everyone he interviews, even if it's conflicting with what he agreed to two weeks prior. It annoys me. It's like he doesn't have his own opinion :/
I mean, how can you not love this human?! Dr. Greger is such a pure hearted individual- this interview made me smile throughout. His energy and knowledge are astounding.
@@krisztinaschneider2561 He is easily one of the top ten nutrition experts in the world and his website simply reviews the results from thousands and thousands of studies. If the research evidence doesn't fit what you believe, maybe it's time to look more closely at your beliefs.
I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and overweight. Diagnosed hypothyroid at only 12 years old. I started a plant based diet. I feel so much better and I can’t wait to see how it effects my medication. I’d love to be a case study🙋♀️
@Baal the Maniac good for you but I know it’s in your future and you’d rather not have it. Make sure you have good life insurance at least . I am not kidding
Greger is so awesome and his sense of humor makes listening and learning from his wealth of knowledge and expertise an absolute pleasure. Almost tiring just to keep up because he keeps you so captivated
Dr Greger is so dedicated to this work. He's amazing. I love that joke when talking about his sleep, 'I'm so much less productive when I'm unconscious'!!
What a fantastic interview! Dr. Greger has completely changed my life. I'm the only WFPB eater I know, even my wife is a SAD eater. I'd love some info on how to socially survive this and persist in it when everyone seems against it. But I'm doubled down more than ever on this, and it has had all kinds of positive benefits for me.
One of the best talks I’ve ever listened to. I love hearing them talk shop in the beginning, then take the deep dive where Rich asks exactly what I want to know and Greger shines a much needed light on alll these confusing layers of food science. Wow.
We need more Dr Greger!! It's a long read but Dr Greger's 'How not to die' helped me completely change my diet and life. Just following that, using his free app, I've so far lost more than a couple of stone (over 13 to under 11 at 5'7.5"), and I feel much healthier. I am now mostly organic wholefoods based and cook most days. I do have days where I have a little junk vegan food (burgers/sausages/nuggets etc.), and at Christmas I had some vegan treats - though that was more following traditions rather than a necessity. Your body completely adjusts, veggies really do taste fab, and I can't imagine going back to my old ways. I would describe myself as plant-based because no doubt some dairy ends up in the occasional takeaway dish I enjoy, but I try to follow vegan food for environmental and health reasons.
Nathan Pritikin was a very kind person who really wanted to help people. I met him in 1984 at one of the first Association of Professional Triathletes (APT) at the Denver USTS race in July. He talked to a group of us about his findings and after it was over i asked him a few questions which he answered. That discussion lasted about an hour and a half and it changed my diet and body composition. I was able to get down to 4% body fat(hydro tested). Great podcast.
Loved it! The enthusiasm in his eyes, the faith that provided with the necessary information people can make the smart choice for their health and mental state. I liked the part where he talks about the "coruption" behind diseases and poor health - one's profit from another's suffering.
Vegan for 16 years. Like you, Ruch, I’m not a breakfast person. I feel low energy if I eat breakfast. When fasting, I break the fasting later a day. I think it’s so individualized. Live your podcasts. Thank you for your work and inspiration. You look amazing! 😄👍🤗👍👍
mootfat.xyz - has helped my friend so much with his weight loss. He also used to workout 3-4 days a week and follow lean diet. I have never seen him so happy and confident.
Love this guy. Following his daily dozen is the best.I’m off statin drug and antidepressant. My drs can’t believe the results. They keep trying to find other reasons. I was depressed, no one suspected, I avoided everyone, and I have a sex drive 💃 again. Great in a pandemic! Okay, TMI but it isn’t just about orgasms Seeing the possibilities for me in the world is what was missing. Overwhelmed was a constant state and then I’d retreat. I can exercise and enjoy the small increments of progress. I meditate daily. Following my truth. All Together they have me on a road I could only dream I’d be on in the past. It’s never too late and everyone can find their way. Bravo!
Loved this! The passion and reason Dr. Greger went into the medical profession is inspiring. I hope I can have just a small impact on others around me to see what a healthy life can be.
I feel very lonely with respect to nutrition. My doctor tells me I'm crazy for being vegan. He tells me he's finished a masters in nutrition and that I should eat meat. I can't eat meat and animals products because I don't like them anymore. I have been eating vegan for so long that I could never go back to eating animal products. My family and friends also tell me I'm crazy and wrong! I live in a poor country, Argentina, that is famous for its beef and there are not many options for vegans. It's heartbreaking for me.
@andrea avila I feel for you so much. I live in the United States and there are quite a few vegan options at stores or restaurants, but I am the only vegan in my family. My husband doesn't agree with me and all my in laws don't agree and make fun of me for doing it. At family get togethers, every single dish they make has meat, cheese, cream, sour cream, etc. It's so hard and makes me not want to be around them but I have to. I feel so amazing though and could never go back to eating meat too. My doctor also is against a plant based diet and tells me to eat meat and feed my son meat. We just have to keep on going and stay strong because we know how we feel and we know what's right. Don't give up Andrea! You are not alone.
@@MusicLuvrGurl12 Thank you so much for your kind words! You're right, we have to persevere. I'm hopeful that our friends and family will eventually turn around once they see that we're very healthy with our diet while, sadly, they are struggling.
That sounds very difficult and lonely, especially given that Argentina eats even more beef than the U.S.! I'm a PhD university researcher and professor in the U.S., and part of what I teach is nutrition and part of what I study is how people--even very smart people--get fooled about what is true in various fields. I ate meat and dairy for 52 years until I stopped 7.5 years ago, and for three of the years after switching to a totally plant-based diet, I intensively studied nutrition and the myths that confuse people about it. We don't have a ton of good long-term research on vegan diets, but what we do have is very promising. It is true that some individuals might find they have too eat a few pieces of fish or eggs a month to be healthy, but most people who don't make it on a vegan diet fail because a) they don't eat a well balanced diet whole food diet with enough leafy greens, b) they don't make sure to get their B12, EPA/DHA or vitamin D, c) they just give in to the social pressure. No offense to your doctor, but most doctors know very little about nutrition, and in a country like Argentina, even a master's program in nutrition will be slanted according to your nation's cultural food biases (as is true here). People here--especially men--run around claiming you need meat for this or that, but we have elite athletes performing at high levels on vegan diets and vegan bodybuilders, so when will they admit maybe all that meat isn't necessary? Take care.
@@HealingLifeKwikly Let's just ignore the fact that consuming oxalate-rich (you were talking about dark leafy greens) diets are directly CAUSALLY linked with breast cancer. Let's just ignore that oxalate crystals accumulate in the kidneys without a calcium source to bind to (reason why people used to combine dairy and spinach). And some vegans are literally putting raw vegetables into their smoothies 😭. It makes me sad because people become so dogmatic about diet and get brainwashed into believing that epidemiology=facts...
@@HealingLifeKwikly Thank you so much for your message. You're right 😂🤣 Argentinians do love beef, except for me. I didn't know that beef was more consumed here than in the US. Over there it's all about, chicken, turkey 🦃 and pork, right? So unhealthy. Obesity has become a big issue here as well over the years. Not as extreme as in the US but pretty serious. I wish I could take your nutrition class. Do you have any papers or books that I could recommend my doctor to read? He doesn't know any English, so I hope that I come across something translated into Spanish. Thank you.
"It's hard to cherry pick when there is only one cherry." After the 4 hour listen to "How not to die in a Pandemic" last night, what a cherry on top to watch this interview
@@loversinthexattic , Chef AJ had Dr Greger this am on her RUclips channel. You should check it out. He mentioned that the 4 hour webinar will probably be online eventually. ruclips.net/video/__BmpMj4A-Y/видео.html
You need to get him back on already he has just released how to survive a pandemic which are on audible and e-book he never stops the guy is a machine 😂🌱
Holy cow! I just randomly selected an interview because I LOVE Rich Roll's podcasts. And it so happens that I just got this book and started reading it a couple of days ago and really digging it so far. Looking forward to this!
87:00 Thanks for bringing up Pritikin! He certainly turned all conventional medical beliefs 180 degrees! We truly stand on the shoulders of giants. He didn't have the science all correct, but he followed the available science and referenced everything which is admirable. And frankly most people would benefit from his original recommendations both diet and exercise.
The proof is in the pudding, uh excuse me, the celery. If people have the heart to try to eat a plant based diet and see for themselves how their A1C, cholesterol, etc. goes down and how good they feel, then they should be convinced that eating this way works. Back in 2016 I "experimented" on myself and in one month's time when I went back to the doctor she saw that my A1C came way down. She said, "Oh, I see the medicine I prescribed is working." That's when I told her I didn't take it. I showed her a log of what I had been eating. She was shocked. Every time I went to her after that she was excited at my changes and she continued to tell her other patients about it. She was of the opinion, at one time, that 'once a diabetic, always a diabetic' and so were some of her patients.
@@melaniej.roberts206 Yes, that doctor was very open minded and she was excited about everything. I know a lot of other doctors aren't for some reason. I wish I could still be with this doc, but things change and people move.
You should know that there are countless people who use the "proof is in the pudding" argument to support different diets. There are countless people experimenting with keto or paleo diets who will submit that their diet has worked for them in terms of feeling good, losing weight, improving or eliminating existing medical problems, etc.
I've seen Dr. Greger talk a ton of times, but this interview was, by far, the most interesting. I really have mad respect for Rich's ability to ask the smart questions and keep it exciting. Thank you for another great interview!
. . . Do you really believe that 'relentless' ... is the very best that any of us can be?... Seriously , you need to take a break and pause awhile. Or are you missing the message of just that, that so many experts on here are clearly making so very clear . It is not a race - it's a journey . All be well .
Fantastic. So educational and pleasure to listen to Dr. Gregor as always. Delightful. He is a missioner. What an enormous task he came to accomplish in this life time to help all the world getting healthy. Simply a Saint. Blessings. 🌱💚
I'm 72 and in the same boat! Wish I could loose 20 pounds though. Don't eat meat, fish, highly processed foods, or sugar. Still eating too much whole grain cereals, corn tortillas, peanut butter & nuts. I guess it's a process! And yes. I do exercise and try not to eat after 3 pm.
This guy is the best! Been following him for years! He has an infectious way of speaking and guiding people through the noise of a plant based way of life! Cheers Rich and Dr. Greger.
I admire Dr.Gregor so much, he is just so informative yet he is so kind, I bet this pandemic has kept him so much less busy with no traveling, he probably has been researching, and maybe writing another book, I do t think he can sit still
Mad love for Dr. Greger 😍! So thankful for all his work! He is saving lives! Also, isn’t he just so entertaining to watch and listen to! Every time I hear him speak, I get fired up to share the news of eating plant based!
Hands down , Greger is the best. Sound advice, solid science and life changing tactics! This way of eating/living is satisfying and health-giving, for us and for our planet.
Rich, the next time you get to talk with Dr. Greger, could you please ask him: 1. Which charities he supports with his book sales, and 2. What does he think/know/advise about diatomaceous earth? Thank you sooo much! ❤️
My hero!! LOVE Dr. Greger!! The powerful information he shares in How Not to Die and How Not to Diet have reinforced my family's decision to adopt a whole foods, plant-based diet. I continue to remain hopeful that as long as Dr. Greger keeps doing his fabulous work, that the rest of the world will soon open their eyes to the compelling evidence of the studies he shares. Keep up the good work, Dr. Greger! Thank you so much for this interview, Rich!! xx
Eliminating sugar and processed foods led me to WFPB ….helped me move off of RA meds ( still have RA but progression stopped). For me learning about the nutrient values of individual plant foods gave me huge motivation. Dr. Li is great on You Tube Master Class videos ( also he has several books) is great nutrition teacher. My RA induced heart arrhythmia disappeared with WFPB and learning about specific plant foods provide specific nutrients ( I.e. beets have positive impact on heart health) I am 100% no processed , 90% no sugar and about 90% vegan, I do eat quality humane raised organic pastured eggs, very little whole fat grass fed plain Greek and and wild caught pacific salmon a few times a week. I have never been healthier Without even trying I easily maintain my 115 pound weight
I am 56 and just went back to being a vegan I got with a woman that changed me but she is history now and I went back I was craving every thing Green so I am back to my first Love vegan all the way and love it my wife and kids they have to have chicken thank you Dr. Michael Greger you videos have helped me so much .
I’m working on the plant based Whole Foods diet and have been for years. My cholesterol is 10 points lower. I cheat a bit and eat salmon or tuna on my salad occasionally. But overall, I notice I have more energy when I’m eating plant based. I’m sure lots of excellent things are happening in my body as a result! I’m 71 years old and have no aches or pains upon rising as long as I get enough sleep and haven’t had a glass of wine., which I have very occasionally. Getting regular exercise is my next step. I think I have made slow steady progress with my plant based diet. The hardest thing right now for me is to give up cows milk in my coffee and yogurt. Thanks Dr. Gregor from me and my partner, who is a chiropractor and has been working on a plant based diet with me for the past 8 years.
Now I have to go get some sorghum and black lentils to add to the moong beans, red lentils, brown lentils, yellow split peas and millet in the pantry. I now have to try cooking the millet in the instant pot. I love Dr Greger. My friends think he is actually my primary care provider. My primary care doc is on board with his thinking though. He exercises daily (I have seen him in the gym at 5:30 AM) eats plant base and often prescribes exercise.
Lol!! I've heard my Cuban parents say a version of this as long as I can remember. They say, "En casa de herrero, cuchillo de palo" - which basically means "At the ironworkers house, they use wooden knives" 😅.
omg. I'm so thrilled to see Dr. Greger. The problem with diets and nutrition is that (most) people tie their identities to it, they forgo the science because they're now personally attached to it. Paul Graham has a great article around this same type of thing called "Keep Your Identity Small". I think this is why we see so many people fighting against the facts around what would be a better lifestyle.
One of my brothers has had 1 stroke and the other brother has had 2 strokes and 1 cardiac arrest and both are on statins for high cholesterol. I received a diagnosis of high cholesterol and my doctor wanted to put me on a statin. I said no and that I wanted to try the plant sterols first. My doctor said he would give me 3 months. I remember I had read The How Not To Diet book and that the whole food plant diet is a soloution. Armed with Dr Gregers 2 cook books, the Daily Dozen ap and numerous recipes on Utube I am feeling better than I have felt for 20 years. I know when I go back to my doctor my bloodwork will show a much lower cholesterol reading. Will come back here when I have my next blood work results. Sending best wishes to all.
Outrage,yes. I survived a heart attack at 30 while training for my first triathlon. The only remedy advised to me was a triple bypass. Horrible experience.

It was beautiful to hear him say that doctors would learn about the benefits of a plant-based diet from their patients
My third time to listen to this video while I walk my 40 min.

Anniversary stint 3 yr 4/1/2019 hearts attac Ty dr g. ❤️
Without a doubt, my absolute FAVORITE plant-based doctor and my favorite interviewer! This was like a dream come true! Dr. Greger should win a Nobel Peace Prize for all the good he offers to humanity. This man is unlike almost everyone else on the planet, wtih his wisdom, intelligence, compassion, kindheartedness, focus, intensity, etc. How many of us can truly say, "I owe that man my life!" ?
Greger can go suck an egg. Actually that might be what he needs. The emaciated moron continuously lies about science that he doesn't understand.
This doctor is pure energy and inspiration. Passion for people and science. Pure gold.
Hes not a doctor he is a fraud
@@pkae85 Dr Greger has done more for humanity than you will ever do. He does more for humanity in a single year, than you would accomplish during a lifetime.
Examples: Dr Gregers work with nutritionfacts.org helped me to lose weight, helped my friend to decrease his insuline as a type 1 diabetic, and helped my father in law get off blood pressure medication and cholesterol lowering medication.
When you save the lives of your fellow humans, then you can come back and write bullshit and point fingers.
It’s comforting to hear that even Rich Roll and Dr. Greger are both still tempted by sweets and cheese! Makes me feel better to know it still happens, but it can be overcome.
I've been WFPB for 6 years and I still love the taste of steak.
I consider myself very lucky not to be tempted by the same. But I am still human: I eat too many salty snacks (like chips and alike)! Working on it ...
@@travisn346 but yiu don’t know for sure and I tasted after a couple years ans wasn’t the same

I still miss pizza at times. I’ve tried to allow myself a cheat meal every few months, but it’s not worth it. It hurts my stomach so bad I’m miserable for hours.
What a fireball. Did Greger ever struggle for any words longer than a half-second? I'll eat whatever he's eating to have a mind like his.
Can't even describe how huge of a smile I had when I saw this in my subscription feed, the best duo ever. Loved the podcast & really appreciate the addition of the timestamps in video feature. Thanks Rich ♥️🤗🍎🥦🥒🍅
I’m watching it again six months after the last time 🙂
I could listen to Dr Greger all day everyday, his voice is calming and the information is A+. Forever grateful he devotes so much of his life to digging through the data for us.... make the world happier and healthier
The comments here are so thrilling to read. Dr. Gregor, all of us couldn't be more grateful for what you are doing. You're a hero and yes, you have changed thousands of lives (including mine) for the better. Rich, thank you for producing this video!
The fact that he can even admit that bias has the possibility of applying to him makes Dr. Greger more credible in my opinion.
I'm glad I watched this until the end. I just realized a few years ago that I'm not the only one who has those glitches, as he called it. I jumped in all the way but I do a vegan brownie in a cup every evening. I still noticed the sweetness of that roasted (plain) zucchini this evening. I was flabergasted. I was so happy also when I went into my garden and picked a sugar snap peas and ate it. WOW! I'm so happy now and it's only been a couple of weeks. I feel so good now. It's a little hard when I have to go out to eat with my 89 year old mother (cracker barrel, Bob Evans, etc.) It's sad how those places have nothing but a salad. I'm trying to let them know we need more choices.
I'm glad I don't go to the Dr at my age. I'm 56 and have nothing wrong with me. Yay!
The reason I started eating this way was because my mother takes 10 pills just in the morning because of all her Heath problems. Thanks guys for making this video! So much information.
I pack my own food to the restaurant and offer to pay a plating fee. I also tip as if I ordered. Most places have been very kind to me. I mention health needs.
@@happycook6737 I never thought about doing that.
@@kathey1981 It seems a bit strange to take my own ready to eat food but I am recovering from cancer and can't afford to eat anything that doesn't fight cancer. That experience has made me bold and assertive, possibly bordering on rude because you have to admit what I do sounds a bit shocking, but I am serious about living.
@@happycook6737 I can totally understand that! My brother died of cancer at 51. I don't know if he and Mom went out to eat very much when he lived with her while he was sick or not. I do know he went to a natural doctor whatever they're called. He juiced every day and did all kinds of what we would think were crazy things but he did live 3 years that the doctors didn't think he would. I pray that you beat cancer and live a long healthy life.
@@kathey1981 I'm sorry for your loss! Thank you for sharing your brother's story.
Amazing! Michael Gregor is changing my life of addiction to one of good health and freedom. Love this podcast. Thank you Rich! My prayer is for all the world to hear it!
Wow, best interview of Dr. Greger ever. I learned more about his process here than I have ever heard before.
DR. Greger: he is great....he has changed my way of thinking, and changed my life,....and am now fully Vegan. All from that start point of reading 'How not to Die'
I love Dr. Greger: Not only is he a wealth of very important information, but his delivery is done in with a playfulness and a sense of humour that I find engaging.
How does his brain work fast enough to think of really well formulated coherent answers at light speed?! It's amazing
He has had years of practice which certainly helps.
Perhaps eating the diet he proposes is a big contributor to this. Try it.
😆😆 I can do that in two languages 😆😆
There’s a lot of information and data in that brain of his. He’s amazing.
Remember he will have been asked similar questions for years and years, and he’s bubbling with enthusiasm for his subject - although both these guys are highly intelligent and verbally skilled, verbosity isn’t necessarily correlated with genius.
Reading "How Not To Die"; also using cookbook. In two months on PB eating.....lab work on my A1c went from 6.3 to 5.5. Am I happy.....YES. Thank you Dr. Greger. Love my food!
“I’m so much less productive when I’m unconscious”. 😂 I think this quip was overlooked by Rich but absolutely hilarious. Great interview!
Wow the youtube app is showing the progress bar with directly annotated segments of topics.
Once again, Rich has created something special.
We meet again
Really awesome.
I noticed that!!
badass shownotes here, always
Mines not!!! 😳😳
"I think about you all the time"... I also think about dr. Gregor all the time too
Every day.
Adore the man, truly!!
You couldn’t even get his name right tho
Right! He's awesome!!
It's Greger not Gregor
"I figured out I'm so much less productive when I'm unconscious" went right over without a blink of the eye? I loved it!
We need a time machine just so Dr Greger manages to write all these books ASAP, there is not a more humble, honest and kind person in the world.
Humble? Dude what?
facts
@@c.j.8194 Donating 100% of book profits to charity is pretty damn humble, wouldn't you say?
I broke up with Joe Rogan recently. That's why I'm here
Good for you I guess. I don't have anything against Joe, but he always agrees with everyone he interviews, even if it's conflicting with what he agreed to two weeks prior. It annoys me. It's like he doesn't have his own opinion :/
Truth seekers unite! Hope Rogen comes around
I mean, how can you not love this human?! Dr. Greger is such a pure hearted individual- this interview made me smile throughout. His energy and knowledge are astounding.
Based on pseudoscience, and money! Lap it up folks!
@@krisztinaschneider2561 He is easily one of the top ten nutrition experts in the world and his website simply reviews the results from thousands and thousands of studies. If the research evidence doesn't fit what you believe, maybe it's time to look more closely at your beliefs.
@@HealingLifeKwikly he's full of shit for the bounce lol
I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and overweight. Diagnosed hypothyroid at only 12 years old. I started a plant based diet. I feel so much better and I can’t wait to see how it effects my medication.
I’d love to be a case study🙋♀️
I hope it cures it!
@Baal the Maniac I eat my own feces everyday and I don't have hashimotos disease either!
I guess beef and feces are healthy!
@Baal the Maniac good for you but I know it’s in your future and you’d rather not have it. Make sure you have good life insurance at least . I am not kidding
I also have been on a journey to heal Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis!! I hope your journey is going well still!
@@BJ-vand she should listen to some rando on the internet instead of the scientific literature because?
His excitement is so contagious ♥️
OMG, I Nearly died when he talked about the E.D. data and said all of the information alone would give you an erection-LOL!!!
Greger is so awesome and his sense of humor makes listening and learning from his wealth of knowledge and expertise an absolute pleasure. Almost tiring just to keep up because he keeps you so captivated
Dr Greger is so dedicated to this work. He's amazing. I love that joke when talking about his sleep, 'I'm so much less productive when I'm unconscious'!!
What a fantastic interview! Dr. Greger has completely changed my life. I'm the only WFPB eater I know, even my wife is a SAD eater. I'd love some info on how to socially survive this and persist in it when everyone seems against it. But I'm doubled down more than ever on this, and it has had all kinds of positive benefits for me.
😍😍 this mans passion is incredible. His ability to retain information is outstanding. His presentation skills amazing . An actual hero. 😍😍
Dr Greger - you are a legend. Thanks to Rich Roll for bringing us all this podcast.
One of the best talks I’ve ever listened to. I love hearing them talk shop in the beginning, then take the deep dive where Rich asks exactly what I want to know and Greger shines a much needed light on alll these confusing layers of food science. Wow.
Rich Roll and Dr Greger! This is the best combination since Peanut Butter and Jelly! Drop some plant truth on us fellas! Woohoo!
Two hero’s for plant based living that’s for sure.
@Mr Tom Yeah, they mentioned that at the beginning of this one! Gonna have to check it out. Thx!
Make that a whole food version- Peanut butter and bananas or mashed berries.
We need more Dr Greger!! It's a long read but Dr Greger's 'How not to die' helped me completely change my diet and life. Just following that, using his free app, I've so far lost more than a couple of stone (over 13 to under 11 at 5'7.5"), and I feel much healthier. I am now mostly organic wholefoods based and cook most days. I do have days where I have a little junk vegan food (burgers/sausages/nuggets etc.), and at Christmas I had some vegan treats - though that was more following traditions rather than a necessity. Your body completely adjusts, veggies really do taste fab, and I can't imagine going back to my old ways. I would describe myself as plant-based because no doubt some dairy ends up in the occasional takeaway dish I enjoy, but I try to follow vegan food for environmental and health reasons.
Nathan Pritikin was a very kind person who really wanted to help people. I met him in 1984 at one of the first Association of Professional Triathletes (APT) at the Denver USTS race in July. He talked to a group of us about his findings and after it was over i asked him a few questions which he answered. That discussion lasted about an hour and a half and it changed my diet and body composition. I was able to get down to 4% body fat(hydro tested).
Great podcast.
4% body fat is incredible.
It's wonderful you were able to meet Pritikin, and that he took time to discuss findings with you. What a life-changing encounter!
Loved it! The enthusiasm in his eyes, the faith that provided with the necessary information people can make the smart choice for their health and mental state. I liked the part where he talks about the "coruption" behind diseases and poor health - one's profit from another's suffering.
Vegan for 16 years. Like you, Ruch, I’m not a breakfast person. I feel low energy if I eat breakfast. When fasting, I break the fasting later a day. I think it’s so individualized.
Live your podcasts. Thank you for your work and inspiration. You look amazing! 😄👍🤗👍👍
Surprised he’s not on a treadmill while being interviewed lol
everytime I see an interview where he's sitting down I get so weirded out. like dude where's your treadmill 😂
mootfat.xyz - has helped my friend so much with his weight loss. He also used to workout 3-4 days a week and follow lean diet. I have never seen him so happy and confident.
hes illl
@@badaboom8843 no he’s not!
Love this guy. Following his daily dozen is the best.I’m off statin drug and antidepressant. My drs can’t believe the results. They keep trying to find other reasons. I was depressed, no one suspected, I avoided everyone, and I have a sex drive 💃 again. Great in a pandemic! Okay, TMI but it isn’t just about orgasms Seeing the possibilities for me in the world is what was missing. Overwhelmed was a constant state and then I’d retreat. I can exercise and enjoy the small increments of progress. I meditate daily. Following my truth. All Together they have me on a road I could only dream I’d be on in the past. It’s never too late and everyone can find their way. Bravo!
Two of the best human beings on the planet
Two of my favorite "health" (and that includes health of our soul) people in the same place at the same time. It's a gift!
Dr Greger Is there a best compassionate and dedicated doctor on earth on the planet earth. Keep up the good work doctor!!!! 😘😎👍👍👍👍👍
There is so much to unpack in this podcast. Rich, you do an amazing job of getting your guests to share so much. Thank you!
I wish I could thumbs up this a thousand more times. Ones of the best talks on health and nutrition!🙏🏻💚
Loved this! The passion and reason Dr. Greger went into the medical profession is inspiring. I hope I can have just a small impact on others around me to see what a healthy life can be.
I feel very lonely with respect to nutrition. My doctor tells me I'm crazy for being vegan. He tells me he's finished a masters in nutrition and that I should eat meat. I can't eat meat and animals products because I don't like them anymore. I have been eating vegan for so long that I could never go back to eating animal products. My family and friends also tell me I'm crazy and wrong! I live in a poor country, Argentina, that is famous for its beef and there are not many options for vegans. It's heartbreaking for me.
@andrea avila I feel for you so much. I live in the United States and there are quite a few vegan options at stores or restaurants, but I am the only vegan in my family. My husband doesn't agree with me and all my in laws don't agree and make fun of me for doing it. At family get togethers, every single dish they make has meat, cheese, cream, sour cream, etc. It's so hard and makes me not want to be around them but I have to. I feel so amazing though and could never go back to eating meat too. My doctor also is against a plant based diet and tells me to eat meat and feed my son meat. We just have to keep on going and stay strong because we know how we feel and we know what's right. Don't give up Andrea! You are not alone.
@@MusicLuvrGurl12 Thank you so much for your kind words! You're right, we have to persevere. I'm hopeful that our friends and family will eventually turn around once they see that we're very healthy with our diet while, sadly, they are struggling.
That sounds very difficult and lonely, especially given that Argentina eats even more beef than the U.S.! I'm a PhD university researcher and professor in the U.S., and part of what I teach is nutrition and part of what I study is how people--even very smart people--get fooled about what is true in various fields. I ate meat and dairy for 52 years until I stopped 7.5 years ago, and for three of the years after switching to a totally plant-based diet, I intensively studied nutrition and the myths that confuse people about it. We don't have a ton of good long-term research on vegan diets, but what we do have is very promising. It is true that some individuals might find they have too eat a few pieces of fish or eggs a month to be healthy, but most people who don't make it on a vegan diet fail because a) they don't eat a well balanced diet whole food diet with enough leafy greens, b) they don't make sure to get their B12, EPA/DHA or vitamin D, c) they just give in to the social pressure.
No offense to your doctor, but most doctors know very little about nutrition, and in a country like Argentina, even a master's program in nutrition will be slanted according to your nation's cultural food biases (as is true here). People here--especially men--run around claiming you need meat for this or that, but we have elite athletes performing at high levels on vegan diets and vegan bodybuilders, so when will they admit maybe all that meat isn't necessary?
Take care.
@@HealingLifeKwikly Let's just ignore the fact that consuming oxalate-rich (you were talking about dark leafy greens) diets are directly CAUSALLY linked with breast cancer. Let's just ignore that oxalate crystals accumulate in the kidneys without a calcium source to bind to (reason why people used to combine dairy and spinach). And some vegans are literally putting raw vegetables into their smoothies 😭. It makes me sad because people become so dogmatic about diet and get brainwashed into believing that epidemiology=facts...
@@HealingLifeKwikly Thank you so much for your message. You're right 😂🤣 Argentinians do love beef, except for me. I didn't know that beef was more consumed here than in the US. Over there it's all about, chicken, turkey 🦃 and pork, right? So unhealthy. Obesity has become a big issue here as well over the years. Not as extreme as in the US but pretty serious. I wish I could take your nutrition class. Do you have any papers or books that I could recommend my doctor to read? He doesn't know any English, so I hope that I come across something translated into Spanish. Thank you.
"It's hard to cherry pick when there is only one cherry."
After the 4 hour listen to "How not to die in a Pandemic" last night, what a cherry on top to watch this interview
Is this on Audible?
@@loversinthexattic , Chef AJ had Dr Greger this am on her RUclips channel. You should check it out. He mentioned that the 4 hour webinar will probably be online eventually.
ruclips.net/video/__BmpMj4A-Y/видео.html
@@loversinthexattic yes it's on Audible 👏👏👏
Greger is a god's blessings to us in these terrible times. May God bless him with good health 🙏
You need to get him back on already he has just released how to survive a pandemic which are on audible and e-book he never stops the guy is a machine 😂🌱
Dr Greger is amazing… donating and helping the world…. Beautiful!!!!!
Holy cow! I just randomly selected an interview because I LOVE Rich Roll's podcasts. And it so happens that I just got this book and started reading it a couple of days ago and really digging it so far. Looking forward to this!
"at least you should be educated about the predictable outcome of your actions" CLASSIC QUOTE
Awesome! Two people who have changed the world for the better!!!
I love Dr. Greger's energy and I also love Rich's ability to hone it into controlled bursts.
87:00 Thanks for bringing up Pritikin! He certainly turned all conventional medical beliefs 180 degrees! We truly stand on the shoulders of giants. He didn't have the science all correct, but he followed the available science and referenced everything which is admirable. And frankly most people would benefit from his original recommendations both diet and exercise.
HE (Dr.Gerger) IS A MODERN HERO !
GREAT GREAT WORK Dr Greger, Great interview Rich !
The proof is in the pudding, uh excuse me, the celery. If people have the heart to try to eat a plant based diet and see for themselves how their A1C, cholesterol, etc. goes down and how good they feel, then they should be convinced that eating this way works. Back in 2016 I "experimented" on myself and in one month's time when I went back to the doctor she saw that my A1C came way down. She said, "Oh, I see the medicine I prescribed is working." That's when I told her I didn't take it. I showed her a log of what I had been eating. She was shocked. Every time I went to her after that she was excited at my changes and she continued to tell her other patients about it. She was of the opinion, at one time, that 'once a diabetic, always a diabetic' and so were some of her patients.
So amazing that you brought the proof to your doctor like that and charted your meals!
How wonderful that your doctor was so open-minded
@@melaniej.roberts206 Yes, that doctor was very open minded and she was excited about everything. I know a lot of other doctors aren't for some reason. I wish I could still be with this doc, but things change and people move.
You should know that there are countless people who use the "proof is in the pudding" argument to support different diets. There are countless people experimenting with keto or paleo diets who will submit that their diet has worked for them in terms of feeling good, losing weight, improving or eliminating existing medical problems, etc.
I'm carnivore and my A1C and cholesterol is very low.
Gregor is a world changer - one little message, and one more, drip by drip informing the public that health is nutrition!!!!
One of the best Dr Gregor interviews I’ve heard. I listen to all of his content and this one was so fun. Thank you to Michael and to Rich for this :)
I've seen Dr. Greger talk a ton of times, but this interview was, by far, the most interesting. I really have mad respect for Rich's ability to ask the smart questions and keep it exciting. Thank you for another great interview!
One of the best compliments that one can receive, "You are more RELENTESS than anyone that I've ever met!"
My coworkers think I'm on speed. I'm just on greens.
. . . Do you really believe that 'relentless' ... is the very best that any of us can be?... Seriously , you need to take a break and pause awhile. Or are you missing the message of just that, that so many experts on here are clearly making so very clear . It is not a race - it's a journey . All be well .
I'm sure it comes at a cost though with his relationships with others. Thankful people as dedicated as him exist though
Fantastic. So educational and pleasure to listen to Dr. Gregor as always. Delightful. He is a missioner. What an enormous task he came to accomplish in this life time to help all the world getting healthy. Simply a Saint. Blessings. 🌱💚
What a story about your grandma. Thank you both very much.
I’m 78 plant based no medications yay
I'm 72 and in the same boat! Wish I could loose 20 pounds though. Don't eat meat, fish, highly processed foods, or sugar. Still eating too much whole grain cereals, corn tortillas, peanut butter & nuts. I guess it's a process! And yes. I do exercise and try not to eat after 3 pm.
"the illusion of moderation" - Wow, such great, eyeopening points!
This guy is the best! Been following him for years! He has an infectious way of speaking and guiding people through the noise of a plant based way of life! Cheers Rich and Dr. Greger.
Really respect both of you and not gonna lie, It’s nice to hear Dr Gregors normal speaking voice. 😁
For sure. I can't listen to his 3-4 minute vids. I have to read the transcripts.
I too, am super annoyed by his RUclips voice-- it sounds super patronizing to me. Unfortunately I guess he doesn’t know.....or I’m just too sensitive?
I am Mangohead no, his voice on those youtube videos is really super annoying.
I admire Dr.Gregor so much, he is just so informative yet he is so kind, I bet this pandemic has kept him so much less busy with no traveling, he probably has been researching, and maybe writing another book, I do t think he can sit still
Mad love for Dr. Greger 😍! So thankful for all his work! He is saving lives! Also, isn’t he just so entertaining to watch and listen to! Every time I hear him speak, I get fired up to share the news of eating plant based!
Dear lovely Dr. Greger!!!! We are blessed to have you!!! Much love 🌱👍🤗💗
Hands down , Greger is the best. Sound advice, solid science and life changing tactics! This way of eating/living is satisfying and health-giving, for us and for our planet.
This man changed my life!....both of them
I really enjoy and appreciate Dr. Gregor! Thank you Rich for hosting such a wonderful session!!
Dr. Greger looks better than ever before! This guy is awesome! Thank you for inspiring me to become a vegan!
Ans he is so so busy
Rich, the next time you get to talk with Dr. Greger, could you please ask him:
1. Which charities he supports with his book sales, and
2. What does he think/know/advise about diatomaceous earth?
Thank you sooo much! ❤️
Love the podcasts! Especially when the guest is Michael Gregor. God bless all those who are devoted in making world and lives better.
Dr Greger is my hero...love this guy! How not to die is my bible...fascinating book! Really recommend it guys!
My hero!! LOVE Dr. Greger!! The powerful information he shares in How Not to Die and How Not to Diet have reinforced my family's decision to adopt a whole foods, plant-based diet. I continue to remain hopeful that as long as Dr. Greger keeps doing his fabulous work, that the rest of the world will soon open their eyes to the compelling evidence of the studies he shares. Keep up the good work, Dr. Greger! Thank you so much for this interview, Rich!! xx
Eliminating sugar and processed foods led me to WFPB ….helped me move off of RA meds ( still have RA but progression stopped). For me learning about the nutrient values of individual plant foods gave me huge motivation. Dr. Li is great on You Tube Master Class videos ( also he has several books) is great nutrition teacher. My RA induced heart arrhythmia disappeared with WFPB and learning about specific plant foods provide specific nutrients ( I.e. beets have positive impact on heart health)
I am 100% no processed , 90% no sugar and about 90% vegan, I do eat quality humane raised organic pastured eggs, very little whole fat grass fed plain Greek and and wild caught pacific salmon a few times a week. I have never been healthier
Without even trying I easily maintain my 115 pound weight
Thanks to the two of you. My two fav people. Please keep up the good works. All the best from Ireland
I am 56 and just went back to being a vegan I got with a woman that changed me but she is history now and I went back I was craving every thing Green so I am back to my first Love vegan all the way and love it my wife and kids they have to have chicken thank you Dr. Michael Greger you videos have helped me so much .
Mind blown, again. Thank you both, again. Hugs, big giant smiling warm hugs. LIFE
I’m working on the plant based Whole Foods diet and have been for years. My cholesterol is 10 points lower. I cheat a bit and eat salmon or tuna on my salad occasionally. But overall, I notice I have more energy when I’m eating plant based. I’m sure lots of excellent things are happening in my body as a result! I’m 71 years old and have no aches or pains upon rising as long as I get enough sleep and haven’t had a glass of wine., which I have very occasionally. Getting regular exercise is my next step. I think I have made slow steady progress with my plant based diet. The hardest thing right now for me is to give up cows milk in my coffee and yogurt. Thanks Dr. Gregor from me and my partner, who is a chiropractor and has been working on a plant based diet with me for the past 8 years.
Now I have to go get some sorghum and black lentils to add to the moong beans, red lentils, brown lentils, yellow split peas and millet in the pantry. I now have to try cooking the millet in the instant pot.
I love Dr Greger. My friends think he is actually my primary care provider. My primary care doc is on board with his thinking though. He exercises daily (I have seen him in the gym at 5:30 AM) eats plant base and often prescribes exercise.
Two of the most honest men speaking truth to power with logic. Love it! You both have been an inspiration to me for years.
As a former sleep researcher, I can say the greatest irony of sleep research is that sleep researchers hardly ever sleep. 😂
I can relate. I am an archivist. Don’t look in my cabinets...

Lol!! I've heard my Cuban parents say a version of this as long as I can remember. They say, "En casa de herrero, cuchillo de palo" - which basically means "At the ironworkers house, they use wooden knives" 😅.
@@denisea.9033 lol that's an awesome saying!
Thank you both for helping me feel a part of something and not just a plant based island . We are One . We are Plant Based !!!!
omg. I'm so thrilled to see Dr. Greger. The problem with diets and nutrition is that (most) people tie their identities to it, they forgo the science because they're now personally attached to it. Paul Graham has a great article around this same type of thing called "Keep Your Identity Small". I think this is why we see so many people fighting against the facts around what would be a better lifestyle.
I just love Dr Greger I watch at least one of his videos a day and I have how not to age on pre order . He keeps me inspired every day
One of my brothers has had 1 stroke and the other brother has had 2 strokes and 1 cardiac arrest and both are on statins for high cholesterol. I received a diagnosis of high cholesterol and my doctor wanted to put me on a statin. I said no and that I wanted to try the plant sterols first. My doctor said he would give me 3 months. I remember I had read The How Not To Diet book and that the whole food plant diet is a soloution. Armed with Dr Gregers 2 cook books, the Daily Dozen ap and numerous recipes on Utube I am feeling better than I have felt for 20 years. I know when I go back to my doctor my bloodwork will show a much lower cholesterol reading. Will come back here when I have my next blood work results. Sending best wishes to all.
I've listened to this 2x, Dr Greger has a contagious passion that's so encouraging!
