Btw, my sister just had a 5 bypass heart surgery after a heart attack. SO on the HEART floor of the hospital, their was chicken, beef, a lower fat version of Mac n cheese, pudding, etc etc 🙄 I was APPALLED 😡 Greenville, SC PRISMA “ HEALTH” is the hospital! OH and I almost forgot the EGGS for breakfast! You can only have 1 1/2 eggs instead of 2 though 😳
John is at the top of his game, as always! The cool thing for me is to watch the Sunday night session, then later in the week it gets reposted, and I get to catch up on some of the finer points I may have missed the first go round!
Not sure if you were aware but this is the same episode from last week (unless I just saw the future, which is common for me).. I wasn’t sure if it was an accidental repeat upload.. still enjoyed listening again though. Much love to Dr. McDougall.
This, sadly, sounds like an uninformed doctor you have, just parroting what they were told in med school years back by a biased professor. May want to indeed look for another doctor. Or at least direct them to Dr M's presentations on heart disease.
Same here...but I was skinny. Tha didn't make a diff...and...I was eating salads...tofu...nuts...whole grains...I was eating nonfat plain yogurt though.
Surprise: exercise not only does not make you live longer, but it even accelerates aging. So says an impressive 45-year study by Finnish scientists. A healthy lifestyle, including moderate and low exercise, is the key, they deduced.
I think that depends upon some factors, I’m always skeptical of eye catching claims. Overtraining is a thing to be sure, but most people aren’t getting even moderate amounts of exercise forget about excess. Also people live unhealthy lives with bad diets even when do exercise often. I’d be willing to bet a Tarahumara person would be in far better condition than an average American of the same age
Love the doctor and his wife, but he did miss the lipedema. It’s definitely a real condition and completely different form lipidemia. I never miss a week or an episode ❤I also watch him on Chef AJ! My health is steadily improving with the SS and I will eat this way for life!
Since statins lower cholesterol, they will help over a longer time period as ldl has to be present in order for plaque to accumulate. They also can reduce CRP. Cholesterol itself is inflammatory so I’m not sure why you are dismissing statins.
I'm not too thrilled about hearing that the heart/lung machine causes brain damage 100% of the time during open heart surgery. I have been through this two times to address my failing mitral valve. The 1st time was a repair 18 yrs ago. The 2nd time was 6 months ago to receive a mechanical valve replacement. Both were done at Duke Hospital in NC. My arteries are clear as I am vegetarian/90% vegan. I did notice a fuzziness in my vision this last time which has not improved to date. Just curious. How is brain damage actually measured if it occurs "100% of the time"?
Why not do the food intake 100% correctly... and also include a statin and possibly a low dose aspirin for some. All the Esselstyn study article groups ALSO included the people all being on a statin. Why not duplicate the regime he used to get the outcome he got?
