The most important reason that I know Dr Fuhrman is giving the best medical advice is because I can see that it is important to him that we NOT depend/be reliant on him or any doctor. He empowers you and gives you the tools to maintain your own wellbeing. Most doctors give you pharmaceuticals and regimines that keep you needing them on a regular basis.
The importance of information in this podcast is mind blowing! I`m sure glad I watched this video. Over the years my bad eating habits have created many problems to my health. Listening to this man has helped me eliminate many issues including diabetes, high blood pressure, inflammation, poor circulation, reduced respiration function, and the list goes on. He enables us to understand the causation of our medical issues that are directly connected to our diet. I highly recommend to everyone to follow this man. My life is so much better thanks to Dr. Fuhrman. I feel better now at 67 years old than I did 30-40 years ago! God bless this man and his family. Thank you Dr. Fuhrman!
Fasting and Eating for Health is an incredible book. I regularly read it and it teaches so much about health and disease. Joel Furhman is a pioneer and truth teller. Thank you Dr. Fuhrman!
So fascinating to listen to Dr. Fuhrman explaining the science. He is so intelligent, and so needed in this unhealthy world! Thank you for these podcasts!
I love seeing you & your daughter on these podcasts! My dream is to one day stay at your retreat. Thank you for your tireless work to help educate us! ❤
I now have my morning smoothie for dinner, and have noticed more energy during the day, as well as it broke a weight loss plateau that I hit. Love and hugs from Montreal Fuhrman family! Thank you for helping the world get healthier!
I was inspired to try fasting one Thanksgiving because I had learned that in Boston it was originally a day of fasting rather than feasting. Now I do periodic water fasts for the potential longevity benefit. I enjoyed reading Dr. Fuhrman's book on fasting. I also read Herbert Shelton's writings on fasting. The main fasting side effect for me is that time slows down because you do not need to deal with food preparation. I take Dr. Fuhrman's advice about taking it easy during the fast, typically just reading about fasting and listening to music. Cheers!
Thanks, I'd love to see more fasting content from vegans because it's sorely lacking on YT and in general. I'm thinking of starting a channel bc I don't know many vegans/WFPB who fast, but I've been combining WFPB with fasting for 3+ years and it's the perfect combo and amazing! I'm looking forward to learning more here.
With me starting intermittent fasting I had to keep telling myself that I was not going to die if I missed a meal, It really is a mind game in the beginning.
I ended my 6 week fast yesterday. 30 years ago, it took me 3 years to do my first 1 day fast, do to cultural misinformation. Really, it is a mind game, and of course, the right information.
Loved the interaction between the two of you, makes me miss my dad! Thanks for all the great info and inspiration. I appreciate how real you are and how understanding you are. I have been a fan of Dr. Furhman's for years.
i was 324 lbs and water fasted for 12 days on my own to help Achilles tendinitis and lose weight, i did that 4 years ago and i never regained the weight i lost and found it essier to lose weight after (cured the tendinitis too). i think saying fasting is a no go for fat people you're missing people like me who could do well
After watching doctors who advocate for a strict carnivore diet, coming here feels like upping the IQ level I’m exposed to by at least 30 points. I’ve been a fan for fifteen years because what you say makes sense, is scientifically verifiable, and the long term results are legitimate.
I hope you both will keep this type of youtube chats coming. I always listen to your lectures and re-read your books, but these interactions are an excellent delivery of information that enhances an ability for the listener to stay focused on the topics.
The lack of interest in fasting & WFPB eating by physicians is indicative of the research that has demonstrated that most physicians go into medicine for the money & the prestigue - not truly to help people.
You can also fast to discover how well your metabolism is working, whether you feel weak, dizzy, or maybe you discover energy. In the process you learn your character strengths.. It's an interesting endeavor that I could do as a teenager every few months for three days or so but these days I can't go more than 8 hours between meals.
Whole foods plants based eating is already culturally a huge step for most people. It's no wonder doctors don't feel comfortable adding fasting to that. And I guess many people don't need it to get to basic health.
I'm glad I found this anthers I've seen didn't know what they were talking about or way to religious I also knew about fasting at an early age I'm 61 now and are going to a healing fast in a couple of months I'm not worried about muscle or bone loss as I have plenty and I also put on 15 kilos for the fast in the past I've done plenty of fast before so I know what to expect I just have to be around people that aren't negative that's really bad for you all the best to every one 😀 ❤
Both Dr Paul Goldberg & myself grew up in an era when smoking was everywhere as we were resulting chronic asthmatics. Meds did not work, Natural Hygiene saved our lives.
Doc I've been following your nutritarian diet. However, I am confused of the theory that when cooked food and raw eating together simultaneously will become an acid forming food? Is that true?
love you Dr. Furhman. All of your information is so helpful. I need to work with you. I am very lean, but am experiencing inflammation (GI problems, fatigue, brain fog.) I consume artificial sweetners and I have lost my hunger/ satiety cues. I fast regularly (12-14 hours daily)
I find it easier to fast than to reduce calories to say 1,500 (I'm a bigger person so can't imagine 1100 would make sense). Do you recommend people to be at 1,500 for very long? Why is it almost easier to eat nothing than to eat significantly less?
Why don't you start with being honest with yourself? Why you're even on this video? You know. Deep down. This is not healthy at all long term. Living on animal products and doing keto. I should know. I did keto for many, many years. And only by discovering plant based. Nutrition. Did I finally discover health And mental vitality. Follow the intuition that brought you to this video. Forget all the rhetoric and propaganda from the keto world that you keep hearing about. Trust your instinct that you came here for a reason. The keto diet will eventually kill you. The SOS program will save your life. Good luck.
12 year vegan. Junk food at times, WFPB at times . Lethargic lately. Went to not eating 16-18 hours eating more plant protein,more water. Riding bike to break fast around 11am. No food before exercise. Have more energy.
Could you please explain what lectins are? I have been a plant-based eater for several years and told I have developed leaky gut syndrome, but I don’t know what that means.
Hybrid fruits like tomatoes have lost 50 % of there nitrution value in the last 50 years croos pollination big fruit and the tomatoes dont go bad after 3 days a long shelf life??! Would like dr furnham to address this please in your good talks !
Be careful with the fasting. If you are obese you will lose tons and tons of weight and your gallbladder too. When you're fasting your gallbladder does not empty regularly. And your body is using your own body fat for energy, which makes the liver produce a lot more cholesterol in the bile of the gallbladder. But your gallbladder is not being emptied because you are fasting regularly to lose weight. This leads to the formation of gallstones and gallbladder disease. The standard treatment is to remove the gallbladder. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Thank you for this excellent video... I have the book here and was reading it this morning, but decided to see if there was a video on water fasting... I have never fasted on water longer than 30 days and my most recent water fast was two years ago and only for 16 days. As I have been experiencing some joint pain and digestive issues recently, I decided it's time for me to do another extended water fast. I do have quite a bit of weight to lose, so I know I will not begin starvation if I do 40 to 50 days of fasting... I want to eliminate inflammation, and detox while losing fat on this fast. I am 77 years old. After my 16 day fast I had lost 15 pounds and I have not gained it back in these two years, so I am hopeful if I do another 40 days I can get down to a normal weight and keep it off.
Valter Longo claims regular fasting past 12-13 hours per day increases the risk the gallbladder issues. And that skipping breakfast has been shown in meta analysis to increase risk of death. What are your thoughts, Dr. Furhman?
