Healing with the Help of Plants 

I was able to vanquish 6 major health issues by adopting a WFPB diet with no refined oil or sugar. The health improvements started within weeks, and I steadily improved over the course of the next 2 years. Now after 6 years I feel better and am more healthy than I was 25 years ago. I can't recommend this any more highly. It's the KEY TO HEALTH.

He’s like a modern day Nathan Pritikin. He’s not a medical doctor or scientist, but when he saw the info and data on how to reverse his own heart disease through nutrition alone, he took it and ran with it! Great interview and great channel!

What an amazing testimony! The way the events played out in the beginning to get him to that one heart surgeon that recommended a lifestyle change. That was God intervening!

I had a lifestyle change 6 years ago, 3 years in I felt so much better and all my symptoms disappeared! No more heart palpitations and all my energy returned for good! I’m in my late 50s

As a whole foods plant based physician/ anesthesiologist for the last 10 years, I find this interview so inspiring and the individual amazing. I can completely relate to everything that he says except for missing the taste of the animal based foods. Will look to see if there is a chapter of PBNSG near me. Hopefully I can do something with them.

As a woman in my mid-60's, this was an interview that I could totally relate to. I loved how he created a lemons to lemonade scenario out of a scary health crisis.

When we know better we can feel and be better. Education is the key to good health.

“It’s all about choices.” - nailed it.

I love your outlook on life and your discipline on eating well and living well. Thank you for being you and inspiring me.

This guy was prob one of my fav interviews he was very honest on missing food sometimes which is very honest and most people don’t say that as a vegan. Well done!

I have been whole food plant based for 6 months, due to a angiogram which showed partial blockages in 3 x arteries. I really liked this video because he told it like it is. Whilst I do feel so much better and my subsequent blood tests back that up, it's true that being plant based requires self discipline and some adjustment. I can say it has been entirely worth it. Thanks for posting this video.

I am in the same boat as you with heart problems and they wanted me to have bypass surgery. I decided to go plant based passing on the bypass and after 4 years plus doing just fine with low total cholesterol well under 150. I travel about 7 months a year all over the world and I just rent apartments and cook for ourselves. Last fall I rode from Paris to Barcelona at age 71 carrying all my own gear. When I travel my cholesterol gets even lower as I don't buy any packaged food except oatmeal. The transition was easy, I don't miss meat at all and feel sorry for people eating meat knowing it is not a healthy choice. I try to advice people to change there lifestyle but most people seem to thing they eat well and with that 3 friends have died from heart attacks or strokes shortly after me warning them. I really enjoyed the interview and I hope it changes some people before it is too late

Thank you so much for your honesty . 😊

I am coming up to 71 yrs old and have been plant based for almost 8 years. Feel so good. My only downfall is chocolate - plant based of course!! I still also have to get to grips with the oil. You’re right about the ‘vegan’ comment and being honest, I do fall into that category. I have Dr Esselstyn’s book so must get back to reading it again !

Absolutely enjoyed what this man shared. He's got a great message, and he is living a life of gratitude. I think he IS living his best life. And he possesses the loving kindness to want to share the good news with others. This was encouraging -- Thank you.🌷

This is my favorite channel on RU-vid not only because of the topic and the incredibly intelligent,well-spoken guests but also because of the video montage and the way the video itself is created in order to get people's attention: really good sound, different angles, interesting questions. GREAT JOB!

What an extraordinary human being! Don't know him, of course, but SOOOO proud of his accomplishments and what he gives back to so many others. Thank you for this inspiring video for a plant-based Newbie.

Awesome interview! I agree about the together as one. There is no strength in fraction.

thanks for sharing you are saving lives man!

I just subscribed to the PBNSG RU-vid channel & going to the website. Thank you!

Great man, great interview, i'm so happy to see hpw plant based eating changed his life and this inspires me to do the same. Thank you for posting!

The first thing that you were doing wrong was eating without regard; great and interesting story! Btw, many family doctor's are recently learning about nutrition and healthy eating habits from their patient's. I've truly enjoyed this podcast! God bless you Sir 🙏 ❤

Loved this interview 😊very honest🙏thank you both so much 👍

I really pray for a Vegan, Plant-based world.

Your honesty gives so much weight to your story, people really need to hear what you say.

Wow! What an amazing story he has and a great interview!

Videos like these really give us a great perspective.. thank you so much 🙏

Thank you for the amazing opportunity to share our story!

Very honest interview. Whole food plant based is the right life choice for longer healthspan and lifespan.A testimony like this one is a great way to help other people on their journey to change for the better.😊

I am absolutely stunned. You got an appointment with a cardiologist the very next day? In the United states?? My mind is reeling. Seriously though, this was an inspirational and informative video. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome Testamony! Loved it! Thanks.

I have watched most of your videos on PBWF diet. But I liked this one much. He is so nice and gentle person. He just opened all the doors of his daily diet which is very helpful to those who want to start this diet but are confused what and how to eat. I request you that whenever you interview somebody who has been on WFPB diet for years please ask them about their daily diet specially how they cook their grains. It will be very helpful to many people. Thank you.

This interview is so close to home 🏠. I’m at the Trader Joe’s down the street from you (Birmingham). Stop in and say hello 👋. I’m April. Great interview!

Great interview, gonna increase my health goals.

I'm so glad I stumbled on this video. I'm only 47 but I would like to eat more nutritious and I'm currently learning more about nutrition.

A real hero! He took all the right decisions and emerged plant strong!

Great interview. Paul is one of the lucky ones that was offered going "whole foods plant based" and did it. And the benefit was his health. (He really is high amps though.)

I’m sharing this ❤

What an amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing your passion!

Paul Chatlin shares how 10 years ago he had an enlarged heart and leaky valves and a plant based diet reduced the heart size and stopped the valves from leaking! We will be following up with Paul in another video interview again in early 2023 to share more about what Paul has recently discovered after we did this interview! So keep staying tuned!

Great guy. Really enjoyed this. Thank you 😊🎨✨

Great interview. Paul's so right about the frustration at trying to get the news out. When stumbled across Whole Food Plant Based nutrition I thought it was brand new. I mean, if they had a way to reverse Diabetes AND Heart disease I was SURE they would have told me about it when I had my first heart attack or over the decade where I was "borderline diabetic" right? Nope. Hell I had my second heart attack and developed full blown diabetes and not a single medical person mentioned eating this way. And it's still that way 6 years later. I could get angry about that but instead I want to change it so the NEXT guy doesn't have to survive two heart attacks to learn about this.

Every generation gets a little wiser. Important change takes time. It'll come.

Thank you sir. Much appreciation for you courage, hard work and vision. Cape Town SA

What a great interview! I really like his no-nonsense approach. Inspirational stuff. 👍🏻

Nice and impressive work. Thanks for helping people.

I make juices and smoothies BEFORE going to "eating" events...i.e. weddings, parties . I still fully socialize. I just skip their "food." And I know what I'm eating when I'm the CHEF 😋 I have come to KNOW that Vegan doesn't necessarily mean HEALTHY....especially when it comes to sugar.....and IT IS GETTING BETTER...especially here in NEW YORK 😆Great interview....Thank YOU PAUL for your transparency and for paying forward BIG TIME 🙏🏽💚😇💯‼️YOU don't need to be a doctor or scientist to KNOW. It's quite apparent where their KNOWING has gotten US. That not to negate the real ONE'S 🙏🏽💚😇💯‼️ YOU already KNOW that....................... We are ALL ONE..........AND LOVE IS ALL THRRE IS 💚 THANK YOU for being OUR BEAUTIFUL and BELOVED EARYH ANGEL🙏🏽💚😇

I love this!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this 🙏🏽

Really great, down to earth wisdom. Thank you!

The average salary for a cardiologist in the USA is 700k per annum , they don’t make money from broccoli. The whole system is weighted in favour of big business .

I think you are great, Pual. You are a very forgiving person and very focus. I like your comments on some vegans or whole food plant-based practisioners whom at one look, you know what they are! I learned at this age after 24 years as a “Healthy vegan” the word on “moderation”. I ate low salt and drink excess water thinking IT is very Healthy until one day I feft “dizzy”. I went to a government Clinic and the attending doctor immediately took my blood sample and found my sodium is 124 mm/l (min is 135/l) too low, She quickly sent me to hospital. The hospital warded me for two days and gave “saline” solution and discharged me after my sodium went up to 130 mm/l, telling me my sodium was too low and advised me to increase my intake salt and reduced water intake to 1,500 l/day and came back for a “follow up”. I NEVER have An instance of dizziness since then. I was diagnosis as “hyponatriemia” and together with excess water other sodium too were “leached out” from the bones causing osteoprorosis! I still can try to get sodium up but not osteoproosis IT’s gone. Anyhow I am drinking less water now, ~1,300 l/day. (Previously >2,500l/day). This is what I call moderation “no more and no less”, just “enough is enough”. Vegan need less water too as they get some water from fruits and Veggies too. We don’t need much oil but a little. To completely abstain perhaps is not necessary as our skin may be too dry what about a few Seeds of local grown nuts once a while? is whole food plant based. Just a suggestion so the skin wont be too dry. As you owe the Society “something” after you are healed your wish is to give back to the Society! The 1st thing you can give back is your dear wife. You have to start going for a blood screening together and you can always Share your results with Her with “evidences”. Amitadbah

Very inspiring video…thank you!

He seems like a nice smart fellow.

From 347 to 77 is crazy!!!

A great interview, really inspiring guy. Thankyou.

Thanks for sharing your story we will try to change. 🙏🙏🥰🥰

Great resource presentation!

I don’t have heart disease but I have other areas of inflammation. I curious you have no pains or arthritis in older age. Bravo! I will learn more also to Help my parents and see how my inflammation decreases.

I changed to Keto diet and OMAD intermittent fasting. I removed completely omega- 6 oils from my diets. I don’t go to restaurants. I cooked and baked my own food. I am 54, all of my pains and insulin resistance are gone. The bottom line is lifestyle change and that’s very difficult for people to give up their lifestyles, especially, high social lifestyle people. It was very easy for me to change.

💚🌱

❤ Amen ❤

Thank you for sharing! I love this story. Very encouraging.

Wonderful interview Great information Thanks

he is so helpful to comunity😁

WOW! This is a fantastic story how one person can change himself and impact others. Thank you!

Thank you for this video. Amazing and inspirational. I went plant-based for my husband’s health and it’s hard but I want him to live a long prosperous life. I like the candor in it. The food is not as tasty as it was before going plant-based but their is still food that is palatable.

Hey Paul I was a pizza with lots of cheese Addict also. Then to friends place this summer who was cooking pizzas with his new wood burning oven and great dough recipe. Had 6 with no cheese but with a variety of great toppings and lots of tomatoes and sauce( with I love). Didn’t feel bloated or stuffed. Not like the old days. So it’s how it’s made makes a difference

Great interview!

Meatless Monday is great because it gets ppl who wouldn't change a day to commit. It opens door to mental change.

A really solid standup guy. Once he realized he was on the wrong path lifestyle wise, he had the humility and courage to change dramatically. That is a rare quality. I'm a health professional, and probably 1-2 in 20 people are prepared to take on board the WFPB message......that is until they have a massive MI or stroke......and even then most don't want to change diet and activity level.

Merci infiniment Paul 👍🌱 !

That’s a honest assessment. Going WFPB/no oil is going to require sacrifice.

Very enjoyable to hear from him about his recovery. It really gave a personal view of how hard it was for him to go through, and he clearly realises how lucky he was to meet those people who gave him such great choices. Now he's helping to pass on this information to others who need it, indeed a fitting response. Please don't pass on the inaccurate view of vegans as 'oily' (lol). If we all strive to put our egos aside, to try to just be a person, not 'the' special person who's somehow better at this new form of health than any other group, we'd be well on the way to greater success in this area.

I always say if it’s not in the house I can’t eat it! Best Wishes!

Really love this guy, Paul. He’s got a great story that will resonate with so many people who might find themselves in his position. Dig how he expressed LOVE so freely. I agree, as someone who is also wfpb no oil, it’s very hard to eat at most vegan restaurants- vegan doesn’t constitute personal health IMO for that reason alone. -Jeff, please send him some date syrup for his brownie recipe. Also, I’d love to see him out on the tennis court again! For me personally, my cardio improved; joint pain went away and recovery went through the roof. Why give it up???? 😢 Look at Djokovic- he’s on an even more restricted whole food plant based diet and is thriving from the food and knowledge he has gained! I wish Roger Federer had the same info; so sad to see him retire - you don’t have to Paul!!! 🎾🌱💪🏽

Very informative.

Fantastic presentation! I’m 73, have been a raw vegan for 22 years. I’m battling Cardio Vascular Disease. My wife is Raw Vegan Chef. We live in an organic farm in Arizona. Let’s talk!

very lucky guy

I'm watching this at the Seoul airport in Korea. Went to the food court, which combines four separate restaurants, and told the hostess " Please, I'm vegetarian..." she cut me off and said "Sorry, nothing vegetarian..." Serious.

Fabulous interview. I should have stayed on this type of eating and now thriving with breast cancer and mets.

What a great story. How is your heart and are your artery’s clear. I know you said you had one at 100% clogged.

Oh she's beautiful 💖 God You and Sophie 🙏😇💝🐈‍⬛

so true plant based never sore.. the problem become not overexercising for tendons.. lol i thought 20 puhsup was beast when hyperthrophy in my 20s, now in nearly my 40, 200 pushup a day is normal lol what. plant is OVERPOWER cycling till break road limit.. yea plant based is weak... lol my legs are insane on plants i bounce around more than in my 30s , lighter, fitter, more recovery, alert, energic... plants are amazing going vegan best move of my entire life, for health ehtic cost nutrition performance recovery focus brain ecology ahhhh cant wait for a plant based world

I am back to being vegan but I still use some oil. However no processed foods so I’m getting there.

Does anyone remember what the title of the cookbook was that Paul mentioned in the video?

🙏👏💛

Where could i find an optimal wfpb diet to achieve optimal nutrition n strengthen the Heart overall ?🙏 thanks

If I knew about dr Esselstyn I could avoid the stent which was placed 19 months ago. ( in 2021 February) I am male 54 years old, I live in Denmark 🇩🇰, so .. even now is not too late because around 3-4 months after stent I discovered Plants Based Diet and I followed it until today very strictly, medication I have followed only 5-6 days since I got the stent. Today after 16 months of plants based diet I am taking just b12 and sometimes d3 I am very very interested for people with the same situation like me.

I just bought the book and watched the video. I've been plant-based for 3 days. I'm trying to figure out the oil part, what do you put on your salads?

No matter what type of food I eat I have never been able to be thin.

A transplant doctor made a recommendation to actually fix a problem with food? Wow

Paul we have exactly the same problems in the UK... OIL is in everything and its so difficult to avoid it. I have learned to fry off onions using water.. but commercially the world of eating meat dairy and oils is stacked against us. I used to have oat milk on my cereal but I found out it has oil in it...Commercial influences such as meat producers and Pill makers are multi billion dollar businesses and are NEVER going to let Whole food plant based get big. The world is geared up to meat and dairy....we cant go out to eat we are all doomed to heart disease based on the way the world is now set up.

Thankful for the video. Does Paul have a you RU-vid channel? How do you get in contact with him?

💪🌱♥️👍

I have a high calcium score of 3077.4 I need help

McDonalds French fries are vegan. WFPB SOS free fries are baked, no oil. I think that is the point on oil.

Just because a family has a tendency to live to 100 is not a good reason to eat irresponsibly. They are still being a bad example to others and they are still damaging the environment and they are still financially rewarding food companies who only care about money.

Ageing is inevitable. Ageing more gracefully is a choice.

What an mazing story. Its a journey making this journey of change. I have been listening a lot to Sten Eckeberg so thats a completely opposite to this message. Pilot was right" What is truth". Bags under his eyes not a good sign wake up buddy. Have you fasted Joe Catlin, or gone on a juice fast like some recomend like John Rose or Joe Cross.

Could you please tell is quick oat meal ok, and vegan bean burrito ok to be considered whole food diet
