The #1 Thing People are Missing from Their Diets with Dr. Will Bulsiewicz 

Hi Dr. B. I retired last June and slowly adjusted my diet starting with eliminating sugar and flour. Was diagnosed with Barrett’s disease. This is when my plant based Journey began. Right now I am a pescatarian. I just finished your first book. I have been focusing on becoming plant based for 9 months and lost 50 lbs with 20 more to go. I am now ready to tweak my journey. I am starting the 28 day plan and realized I just need to make subtle changes in my eating plan. I just ordered your new book. So excited to dive in. I love the way you teach. You have a wonderful calm demeanor. Easy to listen to every day. I feel great. This is the best time off my life. My golden years. Thank you for your expertise.

I’m a vegan and also a physician assistant. This subject is so fascinating to me. I can listening to this all day.

This was the first Commune podcast I happened across, and I can’t help but comment on what an interesting and fascinating conversation it was between two highly intelligent, well-educated, and passionate individuals; thank you!

Eat whole single ingredients foods, no possessed foods, eat nothing with an ingredients list and eat locally grown.

Thank goodness, and at last, there is so much more effort being made to encourage the world towards healthy eating habits again, and to make everyone aware of the dangers of drugs and highly processed foods. Thank you so much Dr B... for making it all so accessible and such common sense, steering us back to healthy norms. Your book is fun reading as well as so informative!

Doing the whole plant based diet 100% has finally given me a healthy life. Wish I'd have realized the importance of this years ago.

Wow, this is an amazing episode. Otherworldly! I have seen Dr B on several podcasts but this is thee most amazing of all. Thank you! 🙏 ❤

Dr. B. you have more talents than you even realized! I doubt you could have refrained from writing books after you found your true passion!

My mom wasn't an educated woman (from the country in the '20s), but she picked the info up somewhere...she taught it was important to have a yellow & green veggie every meal. We also had potatoes often. I feel she gave her kids a headstart in our health with food from our garden.

How full of articulate imagery Jeffs language is - wonderful to listen to him

Absolutely incredible information. I rewatch and rewatch it trying to remember all the details. Thank goodness there are people like you. Thank you doesn’t do justice here but thank you anyway. Outstanding. 😊

Just starting to read the comments and I don't think this video is for me! I was a vegan for about 10 or 12 years and 10 of those years I was desperately sick! I can't get into all the details but I had a severe form of chronic fatigue syndrome and almost every system in my body was breaking down. For almost 10 years I felt that I was going to die and people maybe laugh when they hear that but until you have that feeling in your body you don't understand. Most people cannot live on Plants alone because meat and dairy has protein in it that cannot be found in plants, even if you combine Foods. The only thing that help me to overcome it was by going back to meat at every meal because it contains purines and that is what I needed to finally become more healthy. Even though I still struggle with some things that metabolic typing diet saved my life!

As a nurse let me say….Dr. B is awesome!!!!

Dr. B just gave the best 30,000 foot view of our modern healthcare history civil war to present.

Please remember several persons in different countries listen to this video whose mother tunge is not English. So please talk slowly and clearly. I highly appreciate your knowledge, experience and effort to educate people. God bless you all.

Dr. B is measured, exact to the point, educational & motivational. And crystal clear. I learnt so much about Microbiome, Fiber & Health from this one video than a hundred books combined. I am going to order my copy of "Fiber Fueled". Looking forward to more...

I continue to listen to videos like this, but I think it’s important to know that not everybody can tolerate all the plants and the carbs. I’ve experienced huge benefits from changing to a low carb/ high fat diet with very few plants. My guts are at peace with this. Listen to your own body is key.

The five axis for human health 45:30 1. Immunity 2. Metabolism 3. Hormonal balance 4. Cognition 5. Gene expression The sixth might be considered to be 6. Fecal health

Wonderful presentation! God's creation is amazing!

I am new to Plant based eating, taking one step at a time. I have ordered the Book, Fiber Fueled. I cannot wait to dig into it. Thank You Dr. Will

Thank you 🫘 Dr. Bulsiewicz 🌱

You nailed the magic of the symbiosis so obscured by humanity's hubris, Dr.

Brilliant and articulate. Thank you.

Increasing the playback speed to 1.25 helps. I don't have brain fog so dont need the slow talking in order to absorb the concepts. Lots of interesting info here.

Some good highlights - there are many RU-vid videos on similar lines - wish this nearly two hour long video was condensed to a much shorter duration.

It’s like god meets the metaphysical! ❤😂🎉 thank you guys, this is such a great conversation!!! I mean god tongue in cheek obviously, just exaggerating the importance of this information for both mental and physical health!!! ❤❤❤

Water is NOT added to cabbage to make kraut, only salt.

Minute 19 on Penicilum, James Herriot/James Wight talks about this moment in his book 'All Things Wise and Wonderful'.

I’ve been listening to podcasts about intermittent fasting and the Microbiome for three months I changed my diet to feed. My Microbiome started taking a probiotic I have completely reversed. My my pre-diabetes. I have lost 45 pounds and I feel pretty darn good 61 years old. It’s amazing to see how you can heal yourself real quickly with food. It just blows me away. Thanks for all the great information.

So confused. Plant based carnivorous & keto. Listed to your body eat whole foods stress less live life breath. Mind body & spirit connection. You’ve been blessed with a beautiful body it’s your job to take care of it. So really listen to it. God bless u all🙏

This is very nice talk...slow and informative...for us to understand and digest

Commentator talks too much. I wanna hear what Dr B has to say.

Please Dr. Bulsiewicz can you approach Dr. Mike and go on his podcast!! Dr Gundry was recently on there and approached him to go on. Dr Mike has 12 million followers. His millennial and GenZ audience need to hear your information!! ❤❤❤

You need to know how to pair vegetable protein to make it complete. People need to slowly eat beans and lentils because they do not have the gut bacteria to digest it.

Good informative video. Thanks a lot.

Carnivore diet also seems very convincing but it’s diametrically opposed to this.

Minute 40! He reveals!

Thanks for breaking this down into simple terms!

Dr B......earth angel and loved by millions ❤️

Dont know what to eat now..

Chicken is fed with corn mainly, so what you're eating is like an ear of corn with feathers on it.

I get that we have some real control. But there is also so much we can’t control. Such a toxic world and so many disabled people that don’t have resources to turn it around.

There are assertions being made on severity of covid effects that don't bear out my lived experience. Pre low carb and post. I guess there are differences across the spectrum for people. On low carb I only experienced mild symptoms having had it 3x.

ineed your help

My grandchild is 7 yrs old. She did not want to use the potty when 5 or 6 yrs old. She would not go and she ended in the hospital. They put enemas and nothing. They flushed her with water little by little and they put her to sleep. She was terrified. After that water flushed all her poop started coming out with the help of my daughter. After this They took her to a hospital in kuntucky and a young woman doctor put her on miralax. This was last December and she is still on it. No exams. No blood test to see how her magnesium was. I did so much research and l asked her doctor about the microbiome and her doctor looked at me and said ¿Does she like pickles? My grandchild does not like bitter foods. No blood test, no magnesium test. How do l know how much magnesium for her and amount. There are different types. This is a known hospital Norton's Hospital in kuntucky. Do not know who to take her too. This is desperating. Any advice. There are no videos for children to help or give advice. 😢

And that thing is???

Which microbes produce the short chain acids that you are talking about to make butrate ? And what do we feed them to make them grow?

I am transitioning g into carnivore- all of a sudden my muscularity is blooming, I feel amazing!!! I have energy, but sick like all of my coworkers, & the brain fog is gone!! Gone are the days of brain fog & rage I felt while a vegetarian! I bet if you tested my microbes you would be amazed - I live rural & by no way am I a germaphobe- as a matter of fact, I never wipe things down or use any anti bacterial products- as a matter of fact I avoid them …… I feel my micro biome are doing great as my digestion is spot on. I am from a rural area-less pollution & stress-could be the explanation

Dr Will makes a huge mistake if he says a low-carb (or even keto) diet is low in fibre. Obviously, it can be, but it is effortless to have huge amounts of fibre included in your diet. It is like saying a vegan diet is healthy and finding out the vegan only eats sugary pastries and drinks hot chocolate or coca-cola. Possibly the research would have reflected more honestly if the divisions in the research were not made on diet "titles" but on do you eat a lot of fibre?

Love Dr. B and all he teaches! Excellent information and inspiration! I’ve been vegan for 12 years! More of Dr. B, less of the trends that don’t work long term! Thank You 🤩

So what should one eat specifically?

Are you both just chit chatting ore giving me some helpful information

I was on keto for 4 months and I lost 40 lbs. Feel better my A1C dropped from 6.4 to 5.4 liver enzymes went from high 80 to 100 to 22. Cholesterol/Tryglerides normal. Hadn’t seen normal values for over 15 years now they are the only thing I’m dealing with is my gut flora. Need to bring it to homeostasis. Probably need more fiber and bugs

Many legumes are high in lectins, according to dr. Gundry…which in turn create leaky gut syndrome, so is there a micro biome adjustment that can ensure a proper breakdown of the lectins in many of the foods that appear healthy?

Look at his face he’s super super healthy!

Thank you very much from Chile. Anotuer wordld is posible

I wonder why there are many people who are actually recovering from very bad chronic diseases and mental illness with a CARNIVORE diet? Although they eat full meat only diets, they recover and if they go back to any plants foods it brings back the illnesses. Not EVERYONE, but MANY are recovering. Plants aren’t always bad, but some are particularly worse that others. They have lectins, oxilates etc that wreak havoc on the system. People eat too many of these and make them sick. Example is spinach- it is a high oxilates food. People blend 1/2 to 1 lb in blender thinking it is good for you. IT’S NOT. Oxilates are like slivers of glass in your system. Meats and dairy do NOT have oxilates. I will say with any carb food even a “processed” bread very high in a fiber (Keto like) RAISES my blood sugar, resistant starches also raises sugars. (I’m on CGM). I’m working on going from very high numbers to normal. I find fasting and meat only to be able to get numbers down. Any carbs raises BS. I wish it wasn’t so, but for now I’ll be on mostly protein and fat diet and lettuce as an added ‘green’ once in awhile :(. I’m actually having better BM with carnivore than fiber based diet. I was a perfect specimen of a person with BM until I was exposed to 20 family members that were recently CV vaxxed and were around me for 2-4 days july 2021. For the next 2.5 yrs I’ve had diarrhea most days! NEVER IN MY LIFE UNTIL THAT WEEKEND HAS I HAD THIS ISSUE. I found that it might have been ‘shedding’ of the vaccinated all over me a non vaxed. I’ve had NO cv since the beginning of this mess. It has been found that the vaxed are LOSING their immune systems, T-Cells, etc. I’ll stay mostly carnivore for now. I can add fiber in powder form if needed.

I believe fruit is our primary diet.. with salad whenever.. fruit is the highest frequency food. Our goal is to raise our conciousness and our frequency. I hear people saying they've astral traveled by eating fruit. Of course it will not work if you don't Meditate. I try to Meditate everyday.

Omg the amount of commercials in this vid is Exhausting

You are great 😊

Thanks

Thank you!n

Great talk 🙋

Gratitude ❤, what about protein to build muscle

Do I need to sprout, nuts, and seeds? Like walnuts, pistachios, pecans?

I have had colon cancer and cannot eat seeds and a lot of wholjegrains at all

Would love to participate

Fascinating!!

Nice way of Data collection. Next step: complete surveillance.

Isn't sprouting dangerous? For food poisoning? I read the food poisoning bacteria can exist in the seed itself.

Where is my microbiome if I no longer have my colon ? How does this affect me?

There is no concrete information in this video, exactly what we should be eating, fibre is too vague. Recommendations for specific food(s) would be so much more helpful

I eat a whole food, plant based diet and take probiotics daily but I still suffer from digestion problems as well as struggling to lose belly and arm fat. Is it still possible to partake in this study with Zoe?

We are fearfully and wonderfully created. And our ideal diet was given in eden. Fruits grains seeds...God is good❤

Did they see the short chain fatty acids move?

Dr 😊 U r Awesome!! Sprouting lentils for three days? Without salt and or anything else? What else can I sprout & how do it?

I love how mentioning poop makes grownups still giggle.

Why the name Commune?

Can a 7 year old take probiotic or prebiotic while on miralax. She has been constipated since last December. Doctor's have not done any exams. She never learned the potty training. Did not want to use the potty. What exam can l ask for so we can know what is her problem.😢

Our Universe has a lot lot more than 100 billion stars. There are many billions of galaxies each with hundreds of billions of stars.

Any evidence for he claims made around the 40 minute mark?

NEARLY 2 HOURS !!! YIKES IS THERE a TAKE HOME … somewhere ??

ALL OF THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN GIVEN TO US IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS…ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH YHWH❤️😇❤️🙏🏽🙌🏾

*I am suffering from the GERD and would like to know whether the medicines you have suggested would be available in India. Or any other medicine are there for the treatment of the same disease, whic will be available easily in India*

how do i get the 38 Tera?

The host of the show , repeats what the guest speaker just said. Redundant !

I physically gasped when he said constipation and Parkinson’s. Oh dear.

What about H-Pilori virus does the fatty acids get rid of this virud.?

Fiber🌱👍

My dad has parkinston could you help me dear dr?

My grandpa lived to be 100...and...sounds like clean out with castor oil is the means...therefore yes fiber..

If you want to become healthy, you need to be eating a proper human diet, which is meat based not vegetables.

Any diet that is restricts from eating a certain food is ridiculous! You can’t eat strawberries from my garden because your on carnivore? You don’t want eggs from my parents chicken coop because your vegan? You don’t eat sweet potato because your keto? Come on let use some critical thinking

You are completely wrong about animal proteins. Dont eat meat for humane/ moral purposes sure...but don't lie about the nutrition attached to it. Meat houses EVERY SINGLE amino acid the human body needs. I love vegetables......but I can not eat them and my inflammation goes bizerk when I eat them more than sparingly. We are not one size fits all. Some thrive carnivore...some thrive keto....some thrive low fat...some thrive vegatarian. The key here that makes all these diets successful and missed by all. Is the removal of processed shit from our life.

I can't stand the word bifurcate. How did this word come into vogue? It is so pretentious. Just say division or divided into two groups.

Dr Garret Smith is a master on this subject. Sorry, Dr Bull

He is selling something, not to mention some of his knowledge are old basic studies. He is also neglecting the toxins in the foods he is recommending.
