I want to share the story of my mother. She has had breast cancer in 1985, when she was 44. Her own mother died from breast cancer in the age of around 60. So she decided against chemo and radioactive treatment. Let amputate her breast and then she was fasting for 40 days with water, teas and vegetable juices, lost nearly 40 pounds. And afterwards every year, she was fasting two times a year, for one or two weeks, except the last 10 years. Now she is 81 and still healthy and fit. She was working till she was 78 and is my inspiration.

YES! Dr Goldhammer! 🙌 My step-Grandmother died this year 3 months before her 106th birthday. No medications and in great shape mentally and physically. Moderate and stable diet and regular exercise all her life. Passed peacefully in her sleep. It can definitely be done!
You know what's so tragic? Recently I've heard some of my peers talking about their end of life as if they expect pain and misery. If they expect it, they'll surely get it, and it's so sad...
I just can't follow his crazy no salt diet. Salt helps my depression & gives me energy. When I go no salt I get very lethargic & tired & don't care about life!
This man is a gift to humanity. I got hooked on too much processed /sugary/salty/dairy foods and too much vino during COVID and couldn’t muster the willpower to break my “pleasure trap”. My husband has been a stage 2, insulin dependent diabetic for years, with stents and on statin drugs. His medically supervised water-fasting facility transformed both of us in no short order. I’ve kept those extra 15 pounds off for six months now, became 90% vegan and reduced wine consumption to about 3 glasses/week. My husband lost 35 pounds, is off insulin and statins and feels full of energy and stamina. While it’s a high bar to consistently live as clean as Dr. G espouses, even modest, gradual improvements and dietary changes yield noticeable results with benefits that vastly outweigh the pleasure trap addictions. Plus, I taste food more and eat more mindfully.
@@tootstoyou1 It actually went really well. No real issues other than my chronic back pain, but that has really nothing to do with the fast. I went for a small walk everyday but mostly i was just resting and taking a break from the gym. Am almost finished re-feeding, i started with fresh carrot juice and then went on to raw and now more starch. I lost around 8 kg, almost pure fat, but also some strength, i won't know before i get back to maintenance again.
Obesity and being overweight is the "new norm." I've noticed TV producers now feature more and more shows with overweight actors; commercials pushing their meds feature overweight people singing and dancing, showing that you don't have to lose weight to feel good - just take the meds. They know that putting heavy actors on our TV screen better represents society today. On the reverse side, putting extremely thin and "perfect" bodies on TV isn't the right answer either.
Boy, “opening it up” at the end for open comment by all participants is a mistake. Rest of this is absolute gold, GOLD, G O L D 😇 #WorthIt 100% adherence to Goldhamer’s plan does NOT chain me down - it sets me free 🤗
I can't get over how good Dr. Goldhamer's complexion looks. I'm still trying to get rid of acne scarring from high school, thanks melanin and dairy lol!
All my childhood I suffered acne without dairy or cheese consumption but due to heavy consumption or ultra processed plant foods and refined stuff. Finally glad I introduced dairy as vegetarian instead of B12 supplements but again different people have different triggers who knows and most do t want to find a solution before they end up blaming one food group. My grandmothers not just one grandmother all their life they consumed good amounts of dairy as they kept their own cows had not one acne on their skin but again I am sure when they were young they were not exposed to processed food industry outside either. But not one mark on any of their faces all their lives even when they moved to big cities in old age. And literally all of them. They also did not have too much facial hair growth at all which is becoming common in many today. I wonder how pure compared to today was the quality of food and food produced then. God knows.
@@karunamayiholisticinc You mention yourself you consumed ultra processed plant foods, so I'm not sure why the rest of your comment is about dairy. At any rate, I'm not a cow or an infant. I don't need to grow rapidly, so I'm very much fine and healthier without the cow juice. Human breast milk might be a better (also unnecessary) option.
It’s the lighting. See how you don’t see any lines, wrinkles, blemishes, etc, at all except under the chin where the shadows are (whiskers)? It’s either overexposure in editing, lights are too bright, or it might be a filter. He does seem to have some nice skin though. I’d love to erase my wrinkles!
The point on infant mortality is excellent. Most people miss that point and end up having an exaggerated view of our progress in life extension. To recap: The life expectancy chart is skewed because it includes infant mortality. If you remove infant mortality the chart dramatically improves the life expectancy for earlier historical periods. In the past, you had to live past early childhood to live an extended lifetime. People died in their 70's. Just look at the age of death for many famous early leaders. Many had several siblings that died shortly after being born. Including those infant and childhood deaths averages the life expectancy way down and does not accurately describe the heath experiences of those who made it to adulthood.
I'm 69, blood pressure (110/70) and waist size about 34, my Triglycerides about 225 and HDL close to just 25. How does fasting benefit this ratio? I'll be completing your TrueNorthHealth questionnaire this weekend!
I have done a lot of intermittent fasts and water only for several 24hrs, 3 days, 7 days, 10 days, 20 days, and 38 days genuinely water only, while exercising btw. Never felt tired, or like I had to work less or rest at all. The 38 day was supposed to be 40, but body hit a healing crisis and I panicked and started eating again. I am fully aware many people go well over 40 days and not all hit what is called or recognised as a "healing crisis". I would however consider a vitamin suppliment if attempting again.
If fasting seems difficult for you it can take time to work up to longer water only fasts. You can start with intermittent fasting, limiting eating window to 4, 6 or 8hrs, and work towards one meal a day. Start doing that for 1 day. Then 3, then more. Next try a juice fast the same way. Then when you feel ready, try water only, first for a day, then as you realise you can easily do it with no actual hunger, do two or three days, then a week, or as long as you like. Start with whatever you feel is realistically achievable for you personally. It's progressively easier to extend a fast when you are confident you can do it with only benefits to your wellness, which is a journey you can explore for yourself.
Thank You Dr!!!! I follow you and have been plant based for a year now! What are your thoughts behind hair loss - and do you feel a plant based diet helps regain hair???
I don't know your issue, but i've had hair loss since very young. It's not always because of nutrient deficient, sometimes it can be androgenic alopecia, or telogen efluvium those sort of things. Of course having enough nutrient is important, but treating the cause of androgenic alopecia if you have it will get your hair back more than anything else. Treatement that worked for me are dermarolling + minoxidil + some massage that treat the root cause of your hair thinning. Hope that help you !
The safest way to fast is not eat for 16 to 23 hours a day I'm personally on the 18 hour a day fast , so I've got a 6 hour window to eat from 12 pm to 6 pm then rest of the day it's water only .
Two questions: Does pure water mean distilled? Or is purified water ok to drink while total fasting? Does total rest mean I can’t do a desk job or watch tv when I get home? Are you just supposed to lay in bed as much as possible?
Emotional volatility from eating only vegetables/ fruit is understood in Ayurvedic nutrition. Balance is attained by eating more natural foods that contain fats and oils. The exact balance is determined by the individual’s constitution and lifestyle.
Very good lecture - Only pls tell what limit of seeds and nuts one can eat a day. Cannot do Cashew 2 cups or nuts 2 cups or more in a setting every once in a while - few times a week. 🤒🤒☹
@@annemccarron2281 Yes - Learning in the hard way - What is obesity issue. Already seeing changes with portion level. That is what Costco sells - Mega packages --😁
You can do without both salt & oil. It takes practice. You abstain, but inadvertently screw up at times, revamp, tighten your habits, be mindful, try harder and keep going until oil and salt are no longer important. Oil tastes nasty to me. I inadvertently bought pumpkin seeds with salt recently & 2 tablespoons gave me horrible abdominal pain. It takes time to loose the cravings. Don't say you can't give oil & salt up. By telling yourself that you are making the process more difficult.
As the good doctor explained it is not a true fast if someone is ingesting anything other than water. Even herb teas are full of compounds with physiological effects. Juice is usually just devoid of the pulp, unless you use a blender, and end up consuming the whole food(s). Lastly, say you’re drinking a glass of fruit juice. Would you eat that much food without juicing it? The doctor mentioned the importance of even having leafy 🥬 greens when eating fruit to slow and or reduce the insulin spikes. A glass of apple juice needs several apples. Would you eat several apples in one sitting? Choose days you don’t have to be too active to do a water fast. If you’re getting dizzy it’s a bad sign. Rest, or break the real fast, with whole food.

@@DonaldWilliam Dopamine is how people get fat from addiction to food and heron users get addicted to heron. It takes way more then intermittent fasting to stop an addiction. You missed the question
@@dannymeske3821 No. I didn't. Do you understand the meanings of the words "theory" and "hypothesis"? Are you aware of the criticisms any controversies concerning the domamine hypothesis of addiction? I simply attempted to offer an actual practical working solution, that has worked for myself and others in actual experiential fact. Enjoy your interesting faith in second-hand theories and postulation if that is your inclination and wish, and may it serve you well. Should you at any point wish to try something practical that can be applied in different ways to other addictions, you may wish to look into practical behaviour modification and enjoy the results.
Cold Turkey is the way to deal with addiction. Switch to whole plant foods, no salt oil or sugar, just fruits and vegetables. No nuts and seeds or avocado's either for food addicts, they're too rich. @@dannymeske3821
My husband had a triple-by-pass, he has dropped down to 130 lbs and you see his ribs under the skin, if he fast, he would starve to death. He needs to get healthy, but it's hard to gain weight with vegetables. He feels worse now than before the bypass.
Why is he only eating vegetables? He should be eating starches! Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, oats, barley, farro, plus lentils and beans, ect. If he needs to gain weight he can eat low/no sodium breads without oil, whole grain pasta and other plant other foods that are higher in caloric density. He should also include 1-2 tablespoons of milled flaxseed every day. Zero reason to ever just live off vegetables. That's not healthy or sustainable.
This is normal. Once he heals and begins to put weight on and feel better you can get on WFPB and he will thrive. Fast should have occurred before surgery not post.
For anyone that might know the answer. I fasted 80.5hrs. But had symptoms of electrolyte imbalance. I ate real salt, drank water, coffee, and herbal teas. No sweeteners. Why did I feel like my body had no strength to talk or move??? I am easily 30lbs over weight and just turned 38 if that means anything.🤷🏼♀️ thanks for any useful help.
Did you check off the list of conditions where extended fasting is not recommended or at least requires medical supervision? It sounds like you didn’t rest enough?
@@aclassmedicine3306 if I go off that... I will never be able to do more than a day fasting because I have 6 kids and a husband that works away from home. 72+ hrs is suppose to be a reset for the immune system and 48+hrs is suppose to help with depression/mood improving. I need both but don't have a life that I can just take the time off. 😔🤷🏼♀️ guess I'll just keep winging it. Thank you for the suggestion.
@@elishaburd8827 You deserve a medal. Don’t be disappointed. Weekly, extended hour fasts are also beneficial for what you are seeking. You need to have patience to be a patient😉. Best wishes.
@@aclassmedicine3306 patience for myself is definitely not my strength. 🤦♀️ I think I use it all on my family.🤷🏼♀️😄 I will try to have a little more grace for my own health journey. Thank you.
I don't know the answer unfortunately. I would look at a few things: how is your diet when not fasting. Is kidney function OK? Coffee can be pretty hard on the system, including adrenals. Maybe substitute black or green tea if really need caffeine. If you can't do complete rest, could you get some extra help for fasting days? Too much salt can instigate imbalances too, consider using electrolytes on non-fasting days and avoiding on fasting days. Good luck.
That's wise advice. We hear how important grains & fruits are, however, both elevate insulin levels and thus increase hunger. I'm normal weight and am able to go long periods without eating since I abstain from these two food groups. I'm hoping it makes a difference in my triglycerides as well. Thank you for your comment.
Genetics plays a big part in life expectancy. On my father’s side, his mother died at age 96, his Dad died at age 103 and he died at age 90 only because he chose to starve himself after my mother died. For the large part of their lives they lived on a farm without eating processed foods.
I dont know where this guy studied physiiology but he does not even know that salt is an essential nutrient without which life would cease to exist? I am voting this down and turning this off.
careful with units ... You just suggested that on a diet of 2000kcal you can safely eat 2000g of salt instead of 2g which you probably meant. Which is still very high for an SOS free diet. 2000kcal = 8374kj so more than 8g of Salt if you would take that serious which is definitely too much.
@@asldfjkalsdfjasdf You are correct. I should have written... And 1 mg / 4.2 kilojoules of energy intake. Basically, don't add any salt to your whole foods. Avoid all processed foods and check the label for the ones you do choose to include.
Cholesterol is not the cause of any death unless you call pizza, cake, bread with a tiny slab of meat, french fries etc. cholesterol which they did in the bogus studies.
What causes the facial structure changes I see in some vegans? I'm not trying to be mean, but I see it in several vegans I follow. I am interested in more plant based whole foods and eat less and less animal products as I go, but I'm not sure about transitioning completely. This is a big red flag for me intuitively and I'd like it to be addressed honestly and realistically without defensiveness or anger please.

@@dannymeske3821 No. I didn't. Do you understand the meanings of the words "theory" and "hypothesis"? Are you aware of the criticisms any controversies concerning the domamine hypothesis of addiction?
I simply attempted to offer an actual practical working solution, that has worked for myself and others in actual experiential fact.
Enjoy your interesting faith in second-hand theories and postulation if that is your inclination and wish, and may it serve you well.
Should you at any point wish to try something practical that can be applied in different ways to other addictions, you may wish to look into practical behaviour modification and enjoy the results.
Cold Turkey is the way to deal with addiction. Switch to whole plant foods, no salt oil or sugar, just fruits and vegetables. No nuts and seeds or avocado's either for food addicts, they're too rich. @@dannymeske3821
My husband had a triple-by-pass, he has dropped down to 130 lbs and you see his ribs under the skin, if he fast, he would starve to death. He needs to get healthy, but it's hard to gain weight with vegetables. He feels worse now than before the bypass.
Why is he only eating vegetables? He should be eating starches! Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, oats, barley, farro, plus lentils and beans, ect. If he needs to gain weight he can eat low/no sodium breads without oil, whole grain pasta and other plant other foods that are higher in caloric density. He should also include 1-2 tablespoons of milled flaxseed every day. Zero reason to ever just live off vegetables. That's not healthy or sustainable.
Do some research on the bodybuilders that are vegan because they’re still building impressive muscle without eating animal protein.
This is normal. Once he heals and begins to put weight on and feel better you can get on WFPB and he will thrive. Fast should have occurred before surgery not post.
Natural Hygiene is our friend.
For anyone that might know the answer.
I fasted 80.5hrs. But had symptoms of electrolyte imbalance. I ate real salt, drank water, coffee, and herbal teas. No sweeteners. Why did I feel like my body had no strength to talk or move??? I am easily 30lbs over weight and just turned 38 if that means anything.🤷🏼♀️ thanks for any useful help.
Did you check off the list of conditions where extended fasting is not recommended or at least requires medical supervision? It sounds like you didn’t rest enough?
@@aclassmedicine3306 if I go off that... I will never be able to do more than a day fasting because I have 6 kids and a husband that works away from home. 72+ hrs is suppose to be a reset for the immune system and 48+hrs is suppose to help with depression/mood improving. I need both but don't have a life that I can just take the time off. 😔🤷🏼♀️ guess I'll just keep winging it. Thank you for the suggestion.
@@elishaburd8827 You deserve a medal. Don’t be disappointed. Weekly, extended hour fasts are also beneficial for what you are seeking. You need to have patience to be a patient😉. Best wishes.
@@aclassmedicine3306 patience for myself is definitely not my strength. 🤦♀️ I think I use it all on my family.🤷🏼♀️😄 I will try to have a little more grace for my own health journey. Thank you.
I don't know the answer unfortunately. I would look at a few things: how is your diet when not fasting. Is kidney function OK? Coffee can be pretty hard on the system, including adrenals. Maybe substitute black or green tea if really need caffeine. If you can't do complete rest, could you get some extra help for fasting days? Too much salt can instigate imbalances too, consider using electrolytes on non-fasting days and avoiding on fasting days. Good luck.
It's easy , no 🎂 🍪 🍩 🥧 🍧🍺🍟🍕🍔 , 💖 veggies, fish & 🚲 riding!
Exercise can be deadly.
No salt is not easy.
If fasting is difficult for you, you consume too much sugar/carbs overall. Try eating greens, beans and nuts instead of fruits and grains.
That's wise advice. We hear how important grains & fruits are, however, both elevate insulin levels and thus increase hunger. I'm normal weight and am able to go long periods without eating since I abstain from these two food groups. I'm hoping it makes a difference in my triglycerides as well. Thank you for your comment.
You never answered the Rasta man’s first question!
Steak and eggs for the win.
Who eats to not have a pleasurable experience?
Genetics plays a big part in life expectancy. On my father’s side, his mother died at age 96, his Dad died at age 103 and he died at age 90 only because he chose to starve himself after my mother died. For the large part of their lives they lived on a farm without eating processed foods.
No because there's such a thing as gene expression.

I dont know where this guy studied physiiology but he does not even know that salt is an essential nutrient without which life would cease to exist? I am voting this down and turning this off.
0ne milligram of sodium / Calorie / kJ of energy intake is a very safe maximum metric.
careful with units ...
You just suggested that on a diet of 2000kcal you can safely eat 2000g of salt instead of 2g which you probably meant. Which is still very high for an SOS free diet.
2000kcal = 8374kj so more than 8g of Salt if you would take that serious which is definitely too much.
@@asldfjkalsdfjasdf You are correct. I should have written... And 1 mg / 4.2 kilojoules of energy intake.
Basically, don't add any salt to your whole foods. Avoid all processed foods and check the label for the ones you do choose to include.
@@aclassmedicine3306 could have happened to anyone ... just wanted to point it out
🙏🙂
Cholesterol is not the cause of any death unless you call pizza, cake, bread with a tiny slab of meat, french fries etc. cholesterol which they did in the bogus studies.
I am on day 21 of my 30 day fast & I feel great. 9 more days & I start my journey.
What causes the facial structure changes I see in some vegans? I'm not trying to be mean, but I see it in several vegans I follow. I am interested in more plant based whole foods and eat less and less animal products as I go, but I'm not sure about transitioning completely. This is a big red flag for me intuitively and I'd like it to be addressed honestly and realistically without defensiveness or anger please.
What facial structure changes? Maybe you are seeing when overweight people lose weight on a WFPB diet they lose the fat padding on their cheeks ?
Yeah what are you noticing? It isn’t something I’ve seen
@Blob Monster partially it’s genetics. At a healthy body weight some people store less fat in face
❤❤❤
I prefer quality of life over longevity. I don't need to live to 100 yrs.
Said everyone til they turn 99
The videos showing things besides the speaker is distracting.
I just listen to vids anyways

Isn't the body trying to store more fat after a fast to "prepare" for an other food shortage?
Fasting resets your metabolism, so no
ok, thanks for the reply. @@AlpacaRenee
You are aware of that the BP limits are set the way they are out of political reasons ?? - they in fact cannot be taken seriously :-)
Curious what you mean. Please tell me.
Lol bee vomit
Boring! Get to the point!
How to eat to escape the pleasure trap is by not eating? 🥣
Excellent presentation, thank you very much!
