I’m currently reading “ eat to beat disease “ and I love how it’s written It’s easy to read and I’m learning an abundance about my body through his knowledge and research! Thank you!
Me too! Love the information about fat as an organ and about metabolism. I’ve found my diet is pretty much what he says to eat and always loved Mediterranean/Asian food. 😊
I is in farm country in Arizona and the glyphosphate is everywhere and the amount of down syndrome diabetes and other issues are skyrocketed in this small community compared to other larger communities as in per capita and so many other strange health issues. Of course we are in a food desert there's only Safeway and a few organic items that we can find there but also I think it's just in the air in the dust that blows around all the glyphosphate really harms everybody's ability to digest and be healthy. There's a lot of hunting and a lot of people that raise their own cows in a good way with minimal or no chemicals because they want to be better but the availability of mom and pop stores and the ability to butcher our own is greatly restricted on a community level so it has to be individuals who do it. It's tough to see how this plays out
So far no doctor could explain the concept of metabolism the way Dr. Li has done. In Gratitude to Dr. Li and Dr. Hyman for sharing such an immensely valuable information !
It's hard to hear how critical it is to feed a baby perfectly in its first year of life. My mother told me breastfeeding was not "the thing" when I was born: My baby book says I was fed canned milk with Karo syrup, and almost worse that my first word was "chocolate." (The side view of my gut as a one year old reflected that, too!) Today, I've made a 180 degree turn toward health and protecting my gut microbiome is paramount. I'm totally captivated by and grateful for what you are both teaching! Thank you so very much! ❤
I totally agree with your comment. My mother told me the same and that they had a hard time keeping me alive because I couldn’t keep anything down. They tried goat milk and somehow I kept it down. It is not surprising that I have found this whole community of people that eat real food and have healed their gut and improved their thinking at the same time.
Yup, fed both my grown up kids on powdered milk. 😢 On the ward I was in there were very few, if any breast fed babies. Both my children had episodes of childhood asthma though both are healthy now (23 and 32 years).
It is fascinating how medical knowledge has evolved with time. Thank you for the discussion. Interestingly, 'calories in- calories out' sounds just like 'protein in- protein out' by which the famous division of essential/ non-essentil proteins was formulated... I mean, have you guys read the initial paper on this discovery? As far as I remember, it was released somewhere around 1905, and it was all about feeding some protein mixture in, and measuring what protein mixture came out of the body- after a certain period of time... Now, by the standards of the new functional type of logic, how on earth do we know why the body keeps the so-called 'essential' proteins longer than the so-called 'non-essential' ones? Is it because it really desperately needs them or- on the contrary- because it simply cannot deal with such a substance and safely release it in a shorter period of time...? Could it be that the body more readily keeps and deals with lighter, easily transformable exogenous substances rather than heavy, cumbersome ones needing many steps of energy-consuming internal processing? And which is the correct way of reasoning here- to seek what a substance does to the body or what the body does with a substance?
It was wonderful to experience the brillance and excitement of two of my favorite doctors---if only we could get this into the healthcare system (as opposed to the disease care system)! With Dr Oz in the senate and so many others from both parties being supportive of these ideas, I would imagine that the time is right...Do you know of organizations or other individuals who can champion such goals? My late husband was a Kaiser doctor who passed away in 2004 and we were discussing such goals..... The time is NOW!! What do you think? Bless you and your work ....
I think you are deluded about Dr. Oz - He follows the money. Those who are making a real difference in health aren't looking for products where they can get a kickback. That is why doctors who are interested in nutrition don't get a lot of funding for research.
Thanks to Dr Li I drink 3-4 cups of green tea a day don't know if I'll live to 104 years of age like his grandfather did who drank 6 cups a day but it's a start
Hormones, it triggers cortisal to excrete more when you exercise a lot. You have to maintain some metabolism or your body goes into starvation mode ie eating disorders. He's right Great food or fuel the better the engine will run, burn metabotically
I only wish I knew about the gut microbiome and foods for health before my husband passed away. He had a rare autoimmune disease. Thank you both for all you do. Dr. Hyman do you have the recipe for the acromancy shake. Your followers would love to have this recipe. Thank you.
Just tell us the MAIN POINT, you advertise for the pint 55 minutes to tell us 5 minutes of the most valuable/ main point, cut it short and more practical
Interesting correlations Dr. Li. Streamlining my diet assisted with menopause. Knowing that women have been going through it for many thousands of years helped me psychologically. I feel I was fortunate. Thank you for bringing such helpful news into the light. I manage my blood pressure with food too. I'm an amateur!
Ok, so I'm very pleasantly surprised that Mark is 63 (although, I shouldn't be)! I'm gonna do what he's doing. Loving the history between these two that Mark's alluding to later on in the episode.
Love these guys for their fierce dedication to truth and true advances, and their courage to contradict the powerful forces of convention. The most stubborn closed mind I have ever met was my now (thank God) retired family MD. The more you learn about health, the more concerned you should be about the sorry state of academia--purveyors of wrong information. "It a'int what you don't know that will hurt you, it's what you know for sure that just a'int so".
Hi Dr. Hyman, hope you don’t mind the concern but, are you okay? I noticed your speech pattern is slightly different and your face is slightly swollen.
You two talk and share in harmony, I love you both and I also have his books you both resonate with me so much! I cannot wait for your new book Dr Li but I know I must, hahahahahaha. Gundry has a new advertisement out, he's in a grocery store goes right to the bin of tomatoes, and I wish I could comment but we can't on ad's, but he goes on to say that tomatoes are our enemy they are highly toxic to us. I will keep asking... when will you educate him? :)
I'd love a follow-up discussion on plant antinutrients (oxalates, phytates, lectins, gluten, goitrogens, saponins, cyanogenic glycosides, etc.) and how to properly integrate plants into our food plan to maximize the absorption of good nutrients and minimize the effects of phytotoxins. It is fascinating to me the growing # of people who seem to be not just surviving, but absolutely thriving on nothing but meat. I'm not sure I'd want to live that way. But is that cohort becoming too significant and prosperous to ignore?
Plant foods need careful preparation just like any other food, as per traditional cuisine methods and as per science of today. E.g. beans/peas have to be soaked and peeled before cooking and the first cooking water should be discarded; seeds and skin of the nightshades ( tomatoes and peppers) must be removed and not ingested, eggplants and zucchini must be soaked in salted water and rinsed before cooking ; grains should be either sprouted or polished (whole grains like wheat/ oats contain nickel in their outer layers while brown rice contains arsenic), hard fiber (which is indigestible anyway and mainly serves as a feed for all kinds of gut bacteria most of which not really helpful or friendly to our gut cells) has to be either fermented (sauerkraut) or cooked, or discarded; spinach and similar plants high in oxalates must be cooked and the cooking water discarded...etc. Plants have their own protecitve mechanisms, you know, because they need to live, too. It is only the tree/bush fruits and leafy greens that are readily given to us for food. On the subject of the thriving meat-only eaters- you could look up on RU-vid the talks of Dr Walter Longo, who is very careful and meticulous in his observations and he said in one of his interviews that heavy- meat diets (e.g. keto) are not good for the life span of an indvidual. And I know that many of the thriving meat-diet people also go on regular /long fasts and juice cleanses -probably for a good reason...😊
@@anastasiailieva7800 I tried to be nit-picky and find a flaw in your comment. I failed !!!!! The closest I came was 1] I am anti-grain and 2] of the fruits I eat berries only. Would you kindly opine on whether you feel eating just the peels of apples would have merit ? { ursolic acid }
@@chuckbecker8735 Haha thanks for the comment, so kind of you. Regarding apples- I'd suggest eating both peels and flesh because apple flesh contains more chlorogenic acid than peels, which is a strong kidney regenerator as per research. However, absorption is just 33% and the rest gets metabolized by the gut microflora into hippuric acid... Therefore, it seems juicing the apples- peels and flesh ( but never the seeds, which are rather poisonous)- would be best so that everything gets absorbed in the small intestines before reaching the colon. Alternatively, to avoid oxidation, chewing the apples and spitting the fiber like the gorillas do with fruit, like some ppl say.
Always enjoy listening to Mark and guests but quite frustrating to listen to comparisons of the body to machines. Interesting to hear science based data but would really love a guest maybe with a TCM based energetic approach to the body. The system as a whole from an energetic prospective. Just to break up the man as machine, data, studies have shown chat.
Simply put, if your against vaccines you are truly misinformed and need to educate yourself with scientifically recognized sources. Period. You may say it's me who's misinformed but I'm not. You're simply getting this all wrong. Just like flat earthers.
What was the phrase about DOOM Dr Li was using I couldn't catch it despite replaying a few times ( I know what he meant just not what he was calling it )
Vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes, and fish, ok, but did the docs. ever consider their garden is not my garden is not your garden - on account of biochemical individuality? Is it possible that your metabolism is not my metabolism, even if you and I ate the very same food? Could the ABO blood type be a factor?
These guys are time wasters. I lost interest after the first two minutes when he started talking about putting crappy oil in a car. What the hell does that have to do with diet?
