Dr. Joel Fuhrman - Secrets to Longevity: Exploring the Nutritarian Diet 

I could listen to Joel Fuhrman everyday. Knowledgeable and passionate about nutrition & health. Thank you!🥗🌱💪

I suffered from metabolic syndrome (obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood sugar). I went whole food plant based no sugar oil or salt and I lost 65 pounds, all my conditions greatly improved, my gums stopped bleeding, and erections and energy returned. I used to have an appetite that was never satisfied; whole foods cured it. I no longer use a sleep apnea machine. Finally, the food is cheap-Beans, lentils, rice, potatoes and seasonal apples. Also, I save money by not having to buy pills and visit the Doctor. I am thankful to all the vegans who suffered attacks to reveal the truth to me.

Dr Fuhrman AND Plantstrong all in one place ... oh, I am so happy!!!

Thanks for inviting Dr. Fuhrman to join you today Rip. I consider your dad/family as well as Dr. Fuhrman as my nutritional gurus, and your collective books and teachings have changed my life for the better as well as countless others. I had thought there may be a rift between the two families somehow … but I’m glad to see that is not the case. Keep up the great work - books, conferences, health foods, podcasts, etc. - because it is making such a huge difference in people’s lives such as my own.

Dr. Fuhrman has changed my life with his teaching... I've gained from many others along the way, but He kicked it off for me years ago... Nutrient dense, optimal health.... One of the original voices for Really healthy eating.... A treasure. I was soooooo happy to see this pop up in my feed today. Thank you Rip, for finally Interviewing Dr. F

You know, I’m surprised someone hasn’t done either a documentary or a reality tv show at Dr. Fuhrman’s retreat. The documentary could follow people from start to finish and show what they’ve learned. It could be very beneficial for others who can’t go there to stay for a month; and could be another Forks Over Knives type teaching tool.

Dr Fuhrman's nutrition advice and his clarity in conveying it have made a very positive difference to my health and my life. Thanks for this interview.

Fantastic to see this interview! Thank you, Rip, for this conversation. I follow both Plantstrong and Nutritarian materials and they have changed my life. I look forward to many pain-free and obesity-free years thanks to Dr. Fuhrman's and Dr. Esselstyn's work and the communities you all have created. Very grateful!!!

I love Dr Fuhrman!! His book, "Eat to Live" totally changed my health and my life. I've met him and his family members several times. They are wonderful. Dr Fuhrman is totally dedicated as well as very down to earth and approachable. All of his books are great. If you have diabetes and read and follow the plan in "The End of Diabetes" you can rapidly lower your medication intake with the supervision of your own physician.

Yes, @ggcruise isn’t life sweeter when we expand the circle. I hated that some of the wfpb doctors excluded Dr. Fuhrman - he too changed my life, but I also have the highest respect for Dr. Esselysten and all these wfpb doctors. I have all their books. I have Ann and Jane ‘s Esselysten’s lemon pudding in the refrigerator (sooo good), Jane’s husband Brian taught me to make really delicious bean chili. I made Rip’s lasagna for a potluck but I focus on Dr. Fuhrman’s daily eat to live plan because it’s the best for me, otherwise I’ll eat the whole tray of Rip’s lasagna :) Great interview Rip. You showed the world love and kindness. There is no room for hate. We don’t have to chose sides - you all have made huge positive radical changes in our lives. I have even more respect for you today 🙏🏼

I love Dr F and Rip! Two of the very best. So glad to see this! Much love!

Iam from Costa Rica , Iwent to his retreat and Dr Fuhrman changed my life. I follow him from 5 years ago.

It is very true when I eat salads, beans, mushrooms, I eat less but yet feel satisfied.

I have Eat For Life. You are both inspirational.

Glad to see him included! Thank you for doing that. 👏

Rip, I appreciate your interview questions. I learned new facts about Dr Fuhrman's early years including his ice-skating career. Questions I had myself. Very interesting. Thanks.

love Dr Fuhrman

Dr Fuhrman love you!!!

That bit about being strong psychologically is truly important. Dr Joel's book Eat to Live was my first exposure to eating plants and no animal foods. I didn't start immediately, but the seed was planted. So grateful.

I could listen to Dr. Fuhrman every day also. Thank you Rip for the interview!! Bless you both💕🙏

that's a real coup to bring us an interview with Joel; he is a dear man and very special to many; it is very important that the plant based community, especially the medical world, listen to your dad, Rip, to your mum and Jane, and especially that Joel be heard for the beautiful simple truth that he has been advocating for so long; wonderful to see the unity across your platform and his; i really recommend both your program and his to the world, and of course that of TC. I have not met your mum and Jane, but i have met you and your dad, and Joel, and TC a couple of times. I would like you to get Joel next time you interview him to teach on the subject of the biophotonic carotenoid skin nutrition score. This is a great motivator for people once they grasp the simple but powerful essence of it. Joel taught me this when i was studying with him nearly twenty years ago. It really unlocks the power of his teaching on nutrient density. Wishing you and your wonderful family, Joel and yours, and TC and your family, abundant blessings. JG

Love the goodwill between these two giants in nutrition 💚🌿🌱😘🙌

I do bodybuilding at 73 and have no problem with Dr.Fuhrman‘s diet and I know people who are somewhat the opposite of me who can follow the same diet and are healthy. His diet is one that anyone can follow if they want health . He also talks about the key combinations of diet sleep stress, emotional attachment to others, and the things we need to open up the lock to Health.💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Fabulous interview! I’m gonna have to listen to it again. And again 😁

Dr. Fuhrman really is amazing in his experience and knowledge. But I do have to say that years ago before I even understood how people could be vegan, I read his book Eat to Live in my quest to be healthy and thin. I found his protocol way too restrictive and his message way too arrogant for someone who only knew how to eat a SAD diet. I needed to find a gentler approach to wfpb living which I eventually and thankfully did. I transitioned overnight to no animals but it has taken me a long time to learn how to eat “healthy” too. The Esselstyn’s were my biggest help with this. I am ready to hear more about a nutritarian way of eating. Thank you for this conversation!!

Excellent.Thank you so much for the inspiring content. Doctor joel was my first nutrition guru. I am a nutritionist and get discouraged when my clients give up. So I really like the end of this program that addresses this. Thank you, thank you.I am so inspired!

Wonderful interview!

I love his idea about nutrition; focusing on excellence instead of fixing health issues after the fact. He is the Dr. for preventative perfectionists.

If only this information was taught in grade school.

Such a pleasure to welcome Joel Furhman, MD & his family to our communities here in Southern California!

Dr Fuhrman is true hero! Always pleasure to hear him ❤

Thank you!! Yes! Teach health and nutrition and Plant-based cooking in Public schools-as well as offering vegetable gardening. Thanks you! 🙏

I follow all his good advice 👍❤️👋

Fuhrman fan here 😊

Dr. Fuhrman is the best and this podcast was the best I’ve heard that showed how balanced, comprehensive and scientific his principles are. Thank you for slowing him down a little bit so it was more digestible than some of his other podcast in which too much was crammed in.

Such a wonderful man. It's all about enjoying your life to the fullest and feeling the best you can both physically, emotionally, and mentally. Especially as we get older it's so easy to become overweight , hypertensive, and diabetic. If you're older, this is the way to regain your youthful vigor. Less often talked about is how your mental and emotional wellness improves as well.

Loved this interview! 🌱💪

Another great information episode, thank you.

Thank you for this interview. Very informative. I am a long time fan of Dr. Fuhrman & of Rip. Keep up the good work.

I'm so grateful to listen to your diet

Very interesting!

Great doctor 👍❤️

Enjoyed this so much! I'm going to do more of Fuhrman 's plan. I can’t get as thin as id like with starches. Plus, he's got a point; it's easier to slip if you aren't as strict. My husband thinks he's too strict but he's not losing enough eith unlimited starches.

Thank you so much. Gave me a lot of hope!

A valuable interview that enriches the value and importance of lifestyle and nutrition in individual. Thank you.

Good to see you have a discussion. I have purchased books by both of you, there are differences but that is ok.

It would be interesting to know which books Dr Fuhrman read as a youth that his father brought home.

Fantastic video!!

Such a fabulous interview full of inspiration and info for us🙏🏻

What is 'Rip' short for?

Amazing talk! I have a question for the skinny fat people, more in Asian population. Any issues with insulin spike and insulin resistance on WFPB diet? How to build muscle for the skinny people who are also diabetic? Thank you so much Dr. Fuhrman and plantstrong!

I was eating 2 nori sheets a day because i thought I could run faster but now I realise my throid was being harmed feel lots of self healing right now only dr fuhrman ever mentioned hyper thyroid stimulus is actually instead of increased speed to run is aging my heart and heart rate too fast

👍👏

🌀🌀🌀🙌💛🤗👍✔️. As my grandmother says “your health is your wealth”!🌀💛

With salt, why are there so many studies showing benefits of fermented foods, even more benefit directly compared to fiber? Are there any studies showing fermented foods are unhealthy? And they are high in salt.

How do you afford this

I never get hungry, so I should ever eat?

I really enjoyed this interview. Two icons in the plant-based eating movement, how cool. I must press you on one thing, though. First, let me quickly say that I work out six days per week, upper-body stuff and then running. I describe my way of eating as Dr. Esselstyn's way with a dollop of Dr. McDougall thrown in, as well. That said, I also do like to drink alcohol when the occasion warrants it. I think it's safe to say that virtually all of us who do drink alcohol know it's not for health reasons, and we we know it's not a food. We drink, because we like the buzz we get from it. Those of us who aren't alcoholics enjoy drinking with friends and/or family, and we like to do that at street festivals in the summer, at pubs listening to live music, at social gatherings, and other such stuff. So for Joel and Rip to say, "Don't drink," well, okay, then, what's the alternative? How are we going to get that buzz? All those fun things we do with alcohol, what are we going to replace that with? It's just not a realistic thing to tell people to "don't drink." I think a better thing to say to people is something like, "You know alcohol is not healthy, but if you're going to do it, then try as much as possible to do it as infrequently as you can." But please don't pretend that that buzz is not desired and sought after. 😃

You should asled him aboit drinking milk!

Please interview one of the carnivore diet advocates

Stop your adds.

I love Dr Furman but I completely disagree humankind is not primates we were made in God's image not apes. Also God's original design for us was raw food vegans and then came sin, death and the flood and then we had to eat meat. So we were designed to be omnivores and this is obvious by the evidence of history for the last 7,000 years that all people groups ate animal products.

Pencil neck vegans...
