28 months of vegan life. I’m 56 and just get on with my life. I don’t try to convert anyone but love talking open minded about living healthy through exercise and nutrition. Hope you’re all well. Stay happy and healthy during this new virus era. Peace

5 years vegan now and i've NEVER been so lean and jacked. My body is a temple not a morgue.

Dr. Ornish packs more facts into a sentence than most people do in a couple of paragraphs. I always feel like I have endured a mental workout after listening to him.

Went plant based may 1st. Lost 34 lbs so far. Was on blood pressure meds for years. Not anymore. Had high cholesterol and was pre diabetic. Not anymore. I'm 53 and I feel like I'm in my 20's again. I'll never go back to meat and dairy

This is really hard because I see so many friends and family suffering and they ignore nearly everything I try to tell them (doesn't seem to matter how I approach it). People resist change and eating is very personal for a lot of people. Unless they gain a deep conviction of the truth through their own research and discovery they don't see a need or have a desire to change their lifestyle.

Dr. Dean Ornish is one of my all-time health heroes!!! I read his book back in the 1990s and started making new lifestyle and eating changes/habits back then which have helped me in all areas of my life even until today!! Thank you, Dr. Ornish for all of your hard work, Science, studies, books, programs, knowledge, intelligence and guidance that you are providing to those of us who are willing to listen and follow your lead!! Much love, support and appreciation always!! 💕

Thank you Dr. Ornish! We love all you do for humanity :)

Dr Ornish is a superstar on nutrition period

"emotional heart disease" says so much 💔

I was keto and did loose weight, and felt good ~ and enjoyed the food I was eating. While I do think keto is healthier than a SAD diet. Then I had a serious ‘ cardiac event ‘ ‘ it’s time to try something new. I’m trying the Ornish Diet.

Excellent interview! I got to tell you I'm really enjoying your channel and the content! Thanks

I have been only about ten days on a plant based diet and my blood glucose has returned to normal and I feel encouraged. Ayurvedic doctors used to advise my grandfather and father on such diet back in the fifties when I was a child. I recall some of their conversations and the gist was eat varieties of vegetarian diets and eat less. Nothing is new but we should know better. Dr Dean Ornish has been advocating this since the nineties. It is regrettable that it took me a Doctor this long to listen to his advice even if I believe him. But I am glad to follow his advice. Thanks for your discussions.

I just started watching the channel. Very good! Thanks

I love this beautiful doctor, God bless him❤️🙏

When i was a young adult I went on Atkins diet. And it made me throw up blood. Went vegan and after a little over 1 month my cholesterol dropped 79 points.

Keep these great information programs coming

I'm an evangelical vegan. Im a urologist but tell all my patients about it and give flyers on the diet. I have had some good responses including minorities. I'll risk offending others because i'm giving them good information.

I love Dean Ornish’s calm and patient demeanor! This info is so inspiring and interesting. People have more control over their health than they think! 🎉

Thanks to Klaus and Dr. Ornish for this presentation...keep up the great work, fellows!

Great video as usual. ☘️☘️☘️

Love this!!!!

After watching Game Changers went full whole food plant based. Nice to see this video and reflect how just changing the food has done such an incredible impact. Lost 120 lbs, reversed 25 year of type 2 DM, off all BP and cholesterol meds of 30 years, no more asthma, sciatica, prostate issues.Improved eye sight, testosterone, libido, and concentration. Completed 30+ marathons in 3 years . 10 marathons in just month of November. Did 3 ultras including a 100 miler. Yeah, I'm definitely sold on plant based. The recovery rate is just insane. Inflammatory markers have been consistently low in blood work with optimal renal function, Vit D and omega3 levels. Best part to it...best sleep ever. Pain and suffering is gone

I would like to know more about how this can reverse heart failure

Always excellent ❤️Thank You 👍👍👍🌈

Great video!

Wonderful!

Very informative

I didn’t know Arnold and Nicholas Cage were vegan. Both my parents had heart diseases. I’m 41 and considering going 100% vegan. Any advice?

does someone know where i can find the study that he´s talking about with steven smith an the comparisson of arteries on different diets?

Top man.

Dr. Ornish is the king of kings. Heavy weight category stallion!

Dr Ornish. What is your opinion of pacemakers

I taught yoga for his CA heart diseases reversal program - and am a lifelong vegetarian-now vegan. Keep the animals 🐮🐷🐣 off the plate, free of suffering and alive, and keep your arteries🫀healthier.

Got the link, where's the sign-up?

Dean Ornish is an amazing pioneer who showed clogging of arteries can be reversed. He should be awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology! I eat mostly whole food plant based largely because of this incredible healer! Bravo! And good to hear King Charles met with Dr. Ornish!

Any information about oxolates in plant food ?

I don’t why but this whole food plant based diet didn’t work for me after tried 4 years. I still feel chest pain when I climb hills or run. Very frustrated about the result.

I dont know I start to doubt because chest pain

What is all your secrets on doing plant eating? And how do you give up eggs??

Hi everyone please somebody send me Dr ornish diet plan and about heart attack patient I am 48 years please

Ojala puedan transmitir en español. Gracias

I don't know what is healthiest but I do know that I lost 30 lbs down to a healthy bmi after going plant-based 3 years ago. I eat if I'm hungry & never worry about eating too much.

I love the interview with legend Dr. Dean Ornish, but please keep the commercial for Food Revolution Summit off the end of the video. Not only does this promotion erode the non-commercial reputation of PBN, but this summit features dubious presenters like Dr. David Perlmutter who promotes keto diets, And Dr. Amen who advocates eating eggs. Nonetheless, I love Plant Based News, and am a long time follower of your great work. Keep up the awesome videos, and interviews.

My recent A/fib was in July .my last one was last year.

I LOVE that man! 👏🌱💪👊💥

I am looking for the study that Dr. Ornish was talking about at the 6:50 mark. What's the title of that study?

I enjoyed the ketogenic diet and was on the diet for 3 years. My calcium score went up dramatically and over time health deteriorated. It was the diet. Have check-ups from time to time. Don’t know if calcium score can be reversed.

I am on my 11th month on a plant based diet. I am very well and definitely find I have less headaches and allergies and am full of energy. I have no problem accepting the plant based way of eating is best but find it difficult to believe doctors like Eric Berg and Sten Elberg are wrong when they are as convinced as you are re plant based about the keto diet. How do we who know so little about what is and what is not healthy? Please help me to understand.

Excellent presentation!! The source of most health problems begins with the food we eat. Health Care should be renamed Sick Care. It is ironic that doctors are taught two things: How to prescribe drugs How to operate They are not taught about the source of most health problems - food.

I`m German and I teach American English and it was a real challange to understand your English lol but thanks for the video

Dropped from 175 to 155 pounds in 3 1/2 months simply going vegan. Back to my college weight 💥

Didn't seem to work out for Dr McDougall

Dr Caldwell B. Esselstyn Jr. IS MY HERO.

Very interesting!

Does he advocate consuming Olive Oil?

My grandma would always tell me ''you should eat more garlic like me. It's for your artheries''

Raw Cranberries saved my life

I never tried plant foods! I did keto years ago. I’ve had 2. A/fib and recently my doctor is saying I have 20% clogged arteries. I eat eggs everyday.. oatmeal. Like how AM I supposed to give up and walk away from my eggs?? I can give up my salmon.

My recent burning question is something like- I no longer believe that cholesterol is the 'thing' we need to control to avoid heart disease. That said, both the plant based and animal based groups present gobs and gobs of anecdotal stories of countless people who have reduced or even eliminated things like diabetes, heart disease, etc. I've only been able to find some doctors (who are pro-low-carb, not plant based per se) who discuss how heart disease actually works. Nothing from the plant based guys (that I have been able to find) that says 'here is why animal fat causes heart disease' other than it raises cholesterol. It seems an all plant based or an all animal based diet work to eliminate metabolic disease- which Ivor Cummins makes a great case about it being the true cause of heart disease and many other chronic issues. So, the question- how, specifically, does eating saturated animal fat cause heart disease to go up? (not a correlation type study, but a discussion on the actual mechanics of how the food goes into the body and causes various reactions that lead to the development of heart disease, please... otherwise it is just more feet stamping that I can't seem to hear past...) Thank you in advance!

For the record, the study ornish talks about at 6:53 from what i can tell it's a mice study, and it used mice which had a mutation that made them more propense to develop artherosclerotic lessions (Apo-E knockout mice) pnas.org/content/106/36/15418.long He could be referencing something else, but i couldn't find anything like this in human studies. I will give him the benefit of doubt and assume he forgot to mention that detail

Saying "worth your beans" comes to mind after benefitting hugely from replacing meats with beans, rice, and vegetables.

New vegan going on month 5 now. Feel superb

People love hearing good news on their bad habits. Dean Ornish is the man! Such a great spokespersons

After 10 years in the keto/atkins world I went plant based on March 1st. Doing well with it but a little disappointed I haven't lost any weight. any advice?

I also am a huge believer in clean air. Air purifiers have drastically help me sleep. Think. And reduce my asthma symptoms. Most homes are 5x dirtier than outdoor air. Those pollutants are known to cause premature death depending on the city or country you live in. Millions die per year from polluted air. And many illnesses and life threatening health threats can appear including cancer, stroke, heart attacks, chronic inflammation, you name it. Air and water filtration are so important. Very overlooked.

Should salt be completely taken out

How ironic that the ad in-between this video is about the ketogenic diet...

I'm 63, and I ride my bike around 13,000km each year, 30km each day commuting year round and longer weekend rides. Oh yeah, I've been vegan for 12 years. I'm not a fanatic but I eat a balanced plant-based diet which includes lots of greens, root vegetables, fruit, grains, beans, sprites, nuts and healthy oils. And the odd bag of chips or slice of vegan pizza, LOL! My cycling improved after I went vegan: I felt faster, more powerful and lighter on my bike. I am as healthy as a person my age can be. Good diet and good fitness = great health and long life.

CAN VICTIMS OF COVID19 WHO HAVE HEART ISSUES FOLLOW THIS PROGRAM IS THERE ANY HOPE FOR THEM ?

Have a processed food less monday. Thats the main issue.

Dr orinish is real God

I’m on thyroid and migraine meds. . How does everyone give up there love for eggs or burgers??

AS ALWAYS....ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO FROM PBN As many know, I like to share this personal story.... I am from TEXAS....land of MEAT and DAIRY....and yes, for 50 years I was a die hard everyday meat and dairy consumer. 25 years ago I was hit by a car riding my bike and it damage (broke) to my pelvic bone and clavicle and moved my lower spine over a half inch. I lived with it and the extreme daily pain for 25 years. Being an ex army ranger i was a tough guy and i suffered the pain but over time i got weaker...much much weaker and i gained weight, became a drug addict to pain killers, heroine, meth and cocaine. Then one day I went to the doctor for the men over 50 full physical and got some terrible news. Along with my pain, obesity and drug addiction i was also type 2 diabetic with DANGEROUSLY high blood pressure. Promptly my doctor put me on more meds and said I needed to make an immediate life style change or i was going to die. She said I had done irreversible damage to my once powerful body. When I was 50 i had my first child (AN AWESOME BEAUTIFUL BOY) and I wasn't going to live long enough to see him grow into a man. IT WAS TIME FOR A CHANGE... For the next three weeks I did some intense study and got turned onto a movie called GAME CHANGERS and FORKS OVER KNIVES by a channel called PBN (plain based new) and the WHOLE FOOD PLANT BASED DIET. AND CHANGE I DID...IMMEDIATELY. In just under four months time i lost 30lbs, I began feeling healthier and stronger. I quit doing all the harmful drugs and started working out. My next doctor visit was nothing short of SHOCKING to my doctor and myself. My diagnosis was amazing....My blood pressure was back to normal and i was no longer diabetic. I dropped 40lbs of weight and gained 10lbs of solid muscle mass. Now I work out 5 times a week with the dream of being a 60 year old competitor with a story to tell. Im 53 now and in my book thats one hell of a accomplishment. I have since made it my purpose in life to share this story with everyone I can in hopes of inspiring change not just in those who need it but in everyone. If i can do this, YOU CAN TOO. I will never go back to my bad lifestyle and I WILL watch my son grow up. NOW I CHALLENGE and and ALL of you to do BETTER! ONE WORLD=ONE LOVE

I think everyone is different. We all hear the stories about people eating eggs and bacon everyday of their lives without problems. So, some peoples bodies seem to handle fat better than others. Why the hell would you take the chance on being one of the lucky ones when you don't have to?. The only chance you take with being a Vegan is getting healthier and saving a lot of animals at the same time. No brainer to me.

Tried keto and plant based diets and had success with both . Keto is hard for me to stay on for more than three weeks..Start to crave other foods weak and irratable...but it does lose weight quick....more of an adjustment diet for me..Plant based I like better as I can eat large portions and don't have to follow exact rules like on keto. I am not 100 percent vegan tho...perhaps I invented my own diet lol.

There are 2 primary causes for heart disease. The first being consumption of industrial seed oils. When these compounds mix with cholesterol it causes hardening. The second is artificial sugar of all types. If it’s not fruit or honey then you shouldn’t be eating it. Artificial sweeteners causes oxidation within the arteries when it comes in contact with cholesterol. It does not matter what type of diet you’re eating, if you remove these two compounds it won’t be able to interact with the cholesterol in your body which in turn greatly lowers your chance of having a cardiovascular event. It’s not b/c you’re vegan, keto, carnivore, frutarian or any other term you want to use to describe your diet. It’s simply b/c you removed the elements causing cholesterol to bind in your blood causing it to thicken and harden. For what it’s worth I’m a bio chemist. I haven’t consumed any vegetables in 30 years. My primary source of food is raw milk and raw milk kefir which I make into smoothies with bananas and wild berries. This makes up 75% of my diet. I don’t take any vitamins, supplements, protein shakes or any of that BS. I get everything I need from raw milk and raw milk kefir. It is the only food on the planet for the human species that has every possible vitamin and mineral. No other food can say that. But more importantly it has the beneficial bacteria that is vital to your health and longevity. I’ve been consuming raw milk and raw milk kefir for over 40 years. I haven’t been sick in 30 years.

I have always disliked low-carb diets. I think the main attraction of them is that your body sheds a lot of fluid and stored glycogen in the first week, so it looks like you're losing weight at a really rapid weight. However, they always struck me as faddish, from the time I first heard about them.

All I want is to get lean! I turned 55 in June. I lift weights everyday. What about burgers?

Man, Nicholas Cage really let himself go.

Can you sent me this doc contact

Went plant based for just over a month now have lost too much weight have been eating 4 full meals a day with 4 pieces of fruit Im a 6ft guy so don't think I should be looking this skinny any advice?

Mediterranean lifestyle. The best for a lot of conditions .

Many people suffer having no erecti0n while going plant based, what happened to that?

Good that prince Charles is interested (although Camilla recently said that diary free diets increase risk of osteoporosis!!??) . These plant based doctors (and their important message) are not well know in UK - this needs to change. Hopefully PBN can facilitate?

Wow, you get the best interviews. Excellent.

What cracks me up, is when they call it plant based and it contains dairy or eggs. 😅

I think the plant based diet is healthy.

11:42 His wife is such a hottie! :)))

I love my plant based lifestyle but you shouldn't use Arnold or other people that got big off steroids not meat or plants Everything else you talk about this lifestyle is amazing

This is wht Indian culture and civilization based on. Our Ayurveda says that more precisely

Low carb diets: *Creating unverified anecdotes since 1977* _If only we could do a study, we could prove how great they are!_

Humans, for the most part, are following the evidenced-based science for the unfolding climate catastrophe and the COVID-19 pandemic, but, not when it comes to the evidenced-based science of food nutrition, alas! Keep it going Klaus.🙏🌼

My triglycerides are moderately high, I have been practicing no oil whole vegan for 5 months. Please help

A no brainer

I'm finally at the last of my fat retreat foods...oatmeal cookies. I never do but I could eat the whole damn package and it's 15 grams of saturated fat....not good...but not horrible either. That's the final thing for me. The last dragon to slay. I've made Rip's dumpster fire cobbler and it's delicious. Have to start making my own oatmeal cookies that are healthy.

One question Doc, is that hair dye you use plant based.

How much meat am I allowed to eat on a plant based diet?
