I love dr.potato, he’s the one who turned me on to the plant based diet! I’m turning 80 soon and my doctor says “You have another 100,000 miles on you!” I’m not on any pills either! Love doctor Mcdougall !
Dr. Mcdougall convinced me to go vegan and eat starch while all the people around me were eating the low carb meat diet and laughing at me. They were telling me I can’t get all my nutrition on a vegan diet especially protein and calcium. They are all on medicines and I am not. Who is laughing now.
I grew up eating potatoes 10 different ways. Had a Ukrainian mother. Then ditched potatoes for Atkins diet, was sick as a dog with diarrhea for a year & half. So glad I found Dr McDougall & have the green light to eat lotsa potatoes again!
What a great episode!!! My dream Plantstrong Podcast episode to watch would be the McDougalls and the Esselstyns just sitting and chatting together about all their work! 🙌🏼🤞🏼🤗❤️

I love this man so much. I got so emotional when he spoke about not worrying about your personal health anymore .. we need to start worrying about the entire planet.
2019 I read The China Study and stopped dairy. 2020 I read McDougall's works and became WFPB After finally losing 47 pounds, I am fit and happy at 65 years of age. Dr. McDougall is indeed a great man and I appreciate his message and I also appreciate PLANTSTRONG' Esslestyn family!
Rip followed your dad's advice no oil no nuts no meat no processed foods now when I go for my morning walk after 6 weeks I don't have any pain in my chest or arms I know I am reversing my cardiovascular disease and I'm off metoprolol now I don't need it I'm 111 over 64 in the morning thank you guys very much continue the good work and I can't forget kale thanks
I'm glad you are getting better and it's great you are off metoprolol. I came off atenolol which is a beta blocker. My resting heart rate was over 100 the many years ago I started it, and I came off not long after it was found beta blockers don't reduce mortality rate. My resting heart rate is back to what it was when I was healthy in my teens and 20s, and my blood pressure is 115/85 so I have a little work to get the 85 to be less than 80. I have kale on my shopping list and have eaten it and spinach frequently. I can eat 4 ounces a day, in two 'meals'. I microwave without water for about 2 minutes and it makes it fine for me.

This makes me feel proud to be on the plant path, and it has refueled my excitement to be the change I wish to see in the world, with the animals, environment and health. Thank you for an incredible interview!!
Perfect timing for this podcast for me. I just got back to “all in” a few days ago and have been struggling a bit w satiety. Will be adding some brown rice, org taters and more quinoa. Thank you for your time and effort
I am going to share this episode with all of my family members who are plant-based because it's so inspiring to hear the two of you talk about the work, the research and the truth about plants and Whole Food plant-based eating. Thank you for bringing McDougall on and I can't wait to see him on Plantstrong again!! I hope he brings back those trips, too.... I would love to go on one of those!!

So great to hear a little about these amazing guys family lives- love them both. I never ever get sick of hearing John McDougall talk - he is so amazing- inspirational. 😊
Love this duo. 13 years ago I started with a vegetarian diet and listening to Dr. McDougall. 4 years ago I wanted to go plant based and did Rips 7 day kick start and I couldn't believe my results. So I fall of the odd time (junk sweets) working on that. Love Chef AJ for help there, I also like the Food Revolution Summit with John and Ocean Robbins
Thank you Rip for keeping this information in front of us. I am a new whole food plant-based zealot and I’m seeing outstanding changes in my patients. Only wish I had gotten here sooner.
WFPB is getting another boost at my Surgeons office. I fell off my bike on a 500 mile ride and broke my arm and had to have surgery to fix it. I am 3 1/2 wks post surgery and already am back riding my bike. The Nurse and Dr. are blown away at how fast my 65 year old body is healing. When I told them I only eat plants they were very interested and ask many questions about what I eat. I am off to Iowa to ride across the State at RAGBRAI in a couple weeks and feel I will be ready. Thanks to all these amazing Doctors who keep talking about Plant based eating.
Rip I’ve been a bit of yours since I first went plant based. Glad you are doing pod casts I’ve been listening often! Can’t wait to try the Plant Strong line!! Thank you for all you do. Love from Houston

I am so grateful to hear info on this topic from someone who relies on peer reviewed research instead of human opinion. Thank you, Dr. McDougall. And thank you, Rip, for recognizing John’s importance.

Great conversation and fantastic detailed information from Dr. McDougall. I have shared this video with 2 friends. I have been eating plant based for 6 weeks now and can already feel improvements. Much gratitude to you both 🙏🙏
You guys convinced me. Then I convinced my wife. Now I have friends who are asking me how I’m doing it and are starting to go all in! We as individuals and these advocates can help the world regain their health
Such a great conversation. Dr Potato is a treasure. So happy I bought the Starch Solution years ago simply because I was intrigued by the concept of losing weight- in my mind back then - with the forbidden carb. This is a delicious, mood boosting and important way of eating. Grateful🙏🏻❤️
Great Episode! Thanks Rip. Ellen g. White was one of the first pioneers of a plant- based diet, her writings dated back to 1863 pointing out the connection between the food we eat and our physical and spiritual welfare. She was way before her time. This lifestyle is the way to live. Book: "Consuel on Diet and Food and "ministry of healing."
AMMEEENNNN Sister White was definitely inspired and ahead of her time. Father spoke through her powerfully. Isaiah 46:10 "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:"
Read Daniel 1:8-16 and Daniel 10:2-3….. There are much earlier sources for the best way for humans to eat. Too bad we can’t walk in the Garden of Eden with every fruit and vegetable available to us for our consumption …. It’s when we were banished that we had to work for our food by the sweat of our brow and some humans decided to be lazy and eat what is easiest …. And least nutritious !!! It’s hard work to grow your own food or expensive to buy organic food grown by others.
Colin t Campbell says some other really interesting things about kids on formula. Casin introduced too early shows a correlation with type 1 diabetes in kids
Awesome Interview/Podcast with McDougall Rip! Love it. Ive very recently gone very high carb very lowfat & Starch & Fruit & vegetables in that order is my Stable now. Shooting for atleast 3000cals & about 76C-16P-8F fully plantpowered & incorporating Endurance Running & labouring at work. You guys are all very inspiring. The Kempter study is very cool. Isn't it incredible how Starches & sugar have been Demonised by big $$ Industries. Good Health makes alot of cents...but not necessarily $$. Cheers Guys from Aus.
Love the content as always! Appreciate you both so much for helping so many sick people heal in America. When I don’t eat enough whole grains for two weeks, I tend to develop cuts around the corners of my mouth which directly relates to B deficiency. Now I incorporate whole grains (rolled oats, millet, amaranth, brown rice, black rice, red rice, sorghum, and other gluten free grains) in my meals at least twice a day. I usually pick two to three kinds for each of the two meals. My cuts tend to go away in three days. Whole grains are so important to our diets.
Great interview! I have been plant based for 4 years and feel great. Dr McDougall and Dr Esselstyn are amazing. I have zero health issues at the age of 65 but, like 50% of men, BHP is still an issue for many men. If plant based hasn’t healed me, what are men to do? It is a chronic problem. Could you, with your platform, reach out to doctors like McDougall, Ornish, Campbell and other plant based doctors and do a show on BHP reduction.
That’s interesting. I thought my cholesterol would drop but it didn’t. Dr. Doug Lisle discusses this in one of his videos.. it’s genetic but we should still be healthier on the plant based diet.
I've been familiar with the program and Dr mcdougall's books for many years but I didn't stay faithful and now I'm suffering from severe disability from diabetes and blocked carotid arteries. I have such sadness for myself that I didn't stick with it but I'm happy to know there are that still those promoting a healthy life. Love to you all keep up the good work.🥰
Thanks Rip for really asking him to deep dive and get specific. So glad he mentioned Dr. Furhman and said colors are not that important. I'm not a fan of that Furhman.
It’s combination- I find it hard to do without oil unfortunately It’s satieting even though I know I slowly need to control fat portions of oil So used to oil and feel no taste of food otherwise I also noticed they want people to use organic foods which is troublesome too Will be slow speed transition
I love Dr. McDougall, but I wish he would stick to diet. The sunlight reflecting he mentions at 1:14:50, I don’t think this would be good for birds in the environment
If fish and seafood contain all those contaminants as you mentioned then how do you explain the Japanese living such long healthy lives and they eat fish and seafood on a regular basis?
@@jgrysiak6566 John clearly exaggerates. There are publications which show that omega-3 index correlates with longevity. Average omega-3 content in erythrocyte membranes is ~4%, and in Japan ~10%- And this difference explains 4-5 years in lifespan.
Ok, as a Christ follower, the deep reverence and praise this man is giving to this Doctor, is just too much! The only one we call God is God our creator THATS IT BUDDY. And no one fights the good fight unless through Jesus Christ. One last thing.. This Doctor did NOT creat this food 🙄 God did! Give the Lord your praise and honor him for making food for our bodies, not this elderly man who just picked a few our of the bunch and put them together.
John McDougal probably has a lot of good and helpful points. But he looks pretty decrepit for a 75 year old. HIs starch solution or whatever has some advantages but must be pretty deficient in several things.
Your intros are way too long… why I gotta skip more than 5 minutes just to start the episode. I can read wiki if I wanna know who the guest is. Just welcome them on! Smh
We eat rice almost daily, but 2 weeks ago, a friend sent me article that rice has high arsenic. Is this something we should be concerned of? Since then, I tried cooking with other grains like quinoa, buckwheat, millet but its not the same. I am on a starch based diet, we eat rice with beans
Dr. McDougall appears quite frail . Does the appearance of our skin and hair reflect the internal health - or is that irrelevant for heart and internal health ?❤
I think he may have some mineral deficiencies but speaking as a woman in his age group being 73, I find him attractive. Mary, his wife, wears no makeup, does nothing to her hair and dresses very humbly so I think that’s just who they are but both are fully functional and that’s what counts in your 70’s.
Everything I've seen on reversing diabetes preaches to avoid sugar refined alone, or through grain(bread) and rice and corn and these are actually causes of diabetes and now you're saying a starched based diet is the cure. Can you explain how this works? I stopped eating these as result living on a Ketone diet of meat, fat and salads with intermittent fasting. It's working for me so I don't what to go off it unless you explain it and show me some evidence (clinical). I just have t0 look at rice and bread and my blood sugar goes up! This is sad because before I focused on protein for my bodybuilding I loved rice and pasta, with a little meat and fat.
I'm noticing high carbs/starch= hair loss. That doesn't seem like an optimal diet for humans if you can't grow your hair properly. Imagine an animal losing patches of hair.
Thank you RIP and Dr. McDougall, I appreciate all the ‘food’ for thought. I wonder what we would have thought had we been around for the ice age? Who or what would we have attributed the change to? As one who believes that God created not only the heavens and the earth but man and the heart soul and mind of man-he will fulfill his plan in his time. Does that mean we do nothing and care not for the earth and all that inhabit it-absolutely not as He said love your fellow neighbor. All that being said I don’t think we have us much control as we think we do, for we are not the alpha and omega. Remember the soul of a man is what matters…should we pay attention perhaps there will be less greed and more charity and compassion.
