Long time watcher and fan. Your videoes have helped me to lose close to 50 lb. and feel sooo much better. I was able to get off statins, 2 hbp meds by changing the way I eat. Still need to work on moving my body more, but was listening to this great interview while making my fresh coconut, blueberry, spinach, smoothie with cinnamon, tumeric and fresh basil. God bless you for devoting your time to helping others!
Dr Chatterjee is marvelous. As you watch this, compare the tone of voice as they basically say the same thing. One man is very kind and gentle, the other comes over as judgemental and condescending. Many of us mean well but we make the same mistake
Elly T I definitely see where you’re coming from. An example “well if all you’re doing is walking to the bathroom....” I’m regards to exercise. Not everyone can start going to the gym everyday. People need baby steps. So to condescend in that way I totally see what you’re talking about.
Two great doctors and lots of interesting stuff. I love Dr Zach Bush' 4 minute nitric oxide workout and I'll certainly try and find out what Dr Hyman's 7 minute chair workout involves. By the way I just bought Dr Chattergee's book and I'm really enjoying it!
I truely need a doctor in the house like Dr Rangan. Im learning so much from these series and looking at my own lifestyle and how it could be affecting me.
So excited to see that this message is coming out in such a public manner. We need to do that show here! What a powerful healthy message that FOOD IS MEDICINE and we can heal ourselves without medicine! Thank you for sharing this and being a doctor that is willing to get the message out so effectively.
We need doctors like that. I know someone with major digestion problems and I know her diet f up. But her doctor never even bothered to ask what do you eat
It is sad that stuff like this is not available to most people even in the United States, because they do not have the money to buy Dr. Hyman's Broken Brain Series. If you did not get the invite for the free online videos, which were only 8 videos, you will have to pay $97 dollars and probably some tax for just the digital videos, and if you want the DVDs with all the additional videos you have to pay out $197 for now, because it is usually $397 dollars. Well, the last time that I checked most people in America have to live paycheck to paycheck and do not have the money to spare for setting down and watching something that could potentially change their lives, but who cares? We are the poor, and only the elite get to have access to information that can improve their lives. Do yourself a favor and just go to Mindvalley and get their help. It might be a monthly charge, but at least it is only $29 per month and a hell of a lot more people can afford that. Thanks a lot Dr. Hyman it is clear that you are for the wealthy and just want to profit from peoples disorders.
This was such a great chat! I knew a lot of it - but so good to hear the discussion about how to really integrate it into your life. What would be great to know is - CAN you actually reverse all that brain damage? I've got 8 years of raised cortisol, inactivity, etc? Thank you!
We all have a walk of life, thanks for the information and I'm glad to see some doctors are truly involved for the good of the patient. I am eagerly seeking in my town for this kind of health practitioner.
Meditation is found in every ancient culture, "even Biblical Scripture" It does not mean opening your mind to any passing thought. It is meant to be a directed, trusting space, to connect with your source. Just my opinion. as a generally fearful Christian.
Thanks Docs - a fan of both of you. Follow the LCHF here since even the USDA would agree - , i.e. in 1900 our diet was 10% refined carbs, today (2010) 63%. This 63% represents actually “Dietary Intake”, with the balance being Proteins and Fats. Our position should be "Returning Humans to a Normal Carb Diet", www.70GoingOn100.com the Centenarian Diet, or maybe 128, the Hayflick limit, … or if a Ray Kurzweil fan then this is a Moot Point … The question - “Is It Disease Care or Health Care?” - I think everyone eventually comes to the same conclusion that "Prevention" is the preferred cure ...Modern medicine has abandoned “Root Cause” investigations in favor of “Diagnosis and Drugs” - Medicine by Chemistry has failed - additional adjuncts are needed, most notable is “Nutrition”. We all are becoming an N=1 bio-hacker simply because of AMA failures…
Dr. Hyman, could you please make a video addressing the study that says calcium and vitamin D don't prevent bone fractures? If this is so, what should we do to keep our bones strong?
fineneighborhood I find this confusing, the evidence is clear that calcium supplementation alone won’t prevent osteoporosis. Calcium is only properly absorbed if you’re getting enough vitamin D. The scaffolding of healthy bones is collagen. A bone with good collagen has good resilience. Making good bone broths - the kind that set into stiff jelly in the fridge - provides highly bioavailable collagen. And then there are essential fatty acids! I’m concerned with this question as I’m a 59-year-old woman with slender bones, fair skin, and a mother with osteopenia.
Dear Mark, I am a big follower of your work. I started studying Naturopatic Nutrition and like you and many others I am very excited about the enormous opportunities that the field of Functional medicine has to offer, and in particular, in sustaining us and future generations in good health and hopefully keeping 'existing' inflammation drivers to a minimum. However, I would like to express my mixed feelings about Dr Rangan and the way he talked in this interview. The things he talked about are so basic and obvious that I am not sure who he is trying to impress or attract? The only impression that I get is that with very basic lifestyle advices that he gives to people, he manages to gain a pretty good living and popularity. I don't really see his show as an altruistic idea to improve people's lives rather as a money making-business idea...like many other 'capitan-obvious' businessmen.
How does a person get 30 gm of protein at each meal if one only eats chicken and fish (no red meat)? It is recommended that a person only eat fish 2x per week. That leaves only chicken. We have been told not to eat processed foods which eliminates most turkey products like sausage, bacon, lunchmeats (unless you cook your own turkey). Dairy is not recommended which eliminates yogurt and cheese. Even beans have been touted to contain a toxic substance (not sure if it is only canned beans, dried beans or both). Rice is discouraged because of the arsenic. Soy products are not recommended either, All that leaves is seeds and nuts and those are very fattening if you eat too much. What other foods can provide good sources of protein? Also if the paleo diet is recommended for patients with diabetes or autoimmune disease's like Hashimotos,, what about the aciditiy of the meats and how that has been implicated in certain types of cancers?
Yes you are right. It can get complicated. That is where a protein shake can help. I have been consuming a protein shake for almost 20 years. The source is pea protein.
Dinar AndFriends i doubt it. This Rangan Chatterjee is deeply concerned with reducing inflammation. It’s one of his core principles. It’s why he strongly dislikes highly-processed foods, especially the sugar-laden varieties. What do you see as pro-inflammatory in his advice?
Dinar AndFriends maybe not: chriskresser.com/does-red-meat-cause-inflammation/ www.marksdailyapple.com/what-is-inflammation/ www.marksdailyapple.com/is-gently-cooked-food-better-for-you/ www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030917401400196X We also ha e the archaeological record, which demonstrates that humans evolved eating red meat. The bones tell the story: red-meat-eating hunter-gatherers we’re taller, had stronger bones, and fewer markers of disease than early farmers with diets low in red meat. And all the ethnographic evidence of native peoples who were usually doing pretty darned well on a diet containing red meat. Their health plummeted drastically once they started eating the white man’s diet of highly inflammatory sugar and processed starches. It’s the totality of the diet and other lifestyle factors that determine inflammation levels, not anybody one specific food. Then there’s nutritional individuality to take into account. There is no need for you to eat red meat if you don’t want to.
