I am so shocked! I have no idea who you are but chances are we’ve met! As a young man I was in your parents store all the time. In the 70s as a teen I was a health and bodybuilding nut. Still am! Your parents sold me my first weight bench. I worked hard and saved my money for it. Wow. I loved their store. Funny it was right next to a candy store! Your video came across my feed and I decided to listen to it. Then I was floored when I saw the store front in the picture you held up. I still live in that area and I want you to know that your parents had a positive influence on my life.
So happy to find you, Mark. I also turn 70 in a few weeks. I’ve been Whole Foods Plant-Based for ten years. I came to the decision that God’s best will for anyone could not be being only 60 and being in and out of a wheelchair with arthritis, it afflicted my hands, and ankles too. Decided to give it a try having read the Maker’s prescription for mankind: a diet of plants, to ditch the dairy at first and work on complying with the rest of the tall prescription. I’d asked God, what am I doing wrong and the words in my head were, “Haven’t you read Genesis 1?”So it was both my inclination and that I was clearly told and the words jumped off the page. Inside of 3 weeks, I didn’t need to use that wheelchair and my hands were able to lift a big pan. So took me about another 2 months to get all animal products out of my life. I started walking and the weight fell off of me. Went down 60 lbs. Feel so much better. Would love to hear what if any diseases you’ve had in your life. Since going vegan, I’ve only had one cold, which was more a response to a vaccine and a bronchial flu once. My best friend is a vegan nutritionist and told me to eat fresh pineapple daily. Did more to help clearing my lungs than the antibiotic treatment. My husband resisted the diet change, then he had cancer and the best prevention to not have it metastasizing was and is, the WFPB diet. He had prostate cancer and it was judged stage 4. He is now 7 years since the surgery and is alive and well and active. There were 3 other men who retired doing his same job in which they all worked with RoundUp and those men were much heavier than my husband, and did not change their diet, not did they have surgery but went for chemo and radiation. They are died inside of 6 months. I truly wish I had been raise like you were, on plants exclusively. I have done so much better on this diet than at another time of my life. Dairy allergy is no the only issue as mine was dairy intolerance, a test they never did. I was raised in a home where we had lead pipes as well as the water in the street. Dairy constipated me so badly that my mother gave me enemas with that water. I stuttered horribly and developed hyperhidrosis which is like being in shock 24-7. My mother called me “defective” and then so did my brother and sister. I talked with my best friend, the nutritionist, about my conclusion of lead poisoning. As its been 10 years since the diet change, the toxins are finally out of even my skeleton. The amount of ridicule, harassment I endured as a child, in today’s world my mother’s ignorance would be seen as child abuse. The water she used was cold not warm for the enemas. It pinched and hurt almost as bad as labor pains. I never thought I’d be able to marry. I told my mom to quit with the laxatives, when I was 16, lost weight and discovered to my surprise, I was actually much prettier than my preferred older sister. I discovered salads and bran cereal and only had some milk on my cereal and felt better. I married in 1975, and was scared to have children, in that I did not want our children to relive my horrific childhood. We had our first son when I was 28, we had two more. All normal children. I was still having some though not as bad hyperhidrosis during this time but when we moved to the Antelope Valley where the we bought a new home with new plumbing in the street, the sweats tapered off. But menopause hit me like a ton of bricks too and what gains I had made against the massive sweats, decided to move back in and I could not kick them out the door. This too went with the WFPB diet. I have a very loving husband. We are married 47 years. We have 3 grandsons and one grand daughter. Two of our sons barely speak to me as they are big on meat, one is Keto. A good diet, one which is suited to our anatomy which screams at us that we are batch-feeding herbivores, of course we do better eating what our bodies are designed to eat. We have a sick-care and maintenance for that, system. We do not have HEALTH care, we have maintenance in our illness so chronic conditions never get better. I makes doctors and the pharmaceutical industry wealth beyond the the avarice of King Midas. I am glad there are many who are waking up and are sick and tired of being sick and tired. The child my mother called “defective” is the only one of her 3 children who is not only alive but very healthy for any age. My doctor says my bloodwork looks like I am 20 years old. My husband’s is just as good. My mother died of breast cancer, my sister had that too, metastasized into her liver, her bones, her brain. She had both breast taken whereas my mother had one breast left. My sister died in the most agony I’ve heard of. They actually took out her pelvis and she also had cancer of the bone. No pelvis, no tailbone. How do you have a BM? Agony. My brother died of suicide after I got married. I did not know he was born with an inguinal hernia in the groin. One of our sons had this too, it is caused by dairy as I was told I had to drink it because of pregnancy and nursing our babies. Again, knowledge of nutrition and the diseases the dairy-high diet, doctors are not being taught. My parents did not pay for the corrective surgery for my brother’s hernia. And forced to strip for showers after PE in junior high and high school, I’d come home and find him sitting on the roof. Probably contemplating suicide for the mocking he was enduring. If anyone can know how badly one can be mocked, I think I did. And my brother and I were best of friends when our “perfect” sister was not around. When our brother died, just 6 months after I got married my sister informed me that she would not be grieving so dreadfully if I had killed myself as she always expected it. Wow! What a burden to put on my head. I did not cause him to do what he did. When Mom was always discussing what was done with defective children, like put them in an attic room where they could not go out and be an embarrassment to the family, my father had been building a room in our attic. He had all the materials, and he stopped work on it. The entrance for that room at that time was through a window on the roof. That is where I found my brother from the time I was in grammar school until he graduated high school and went to L.A. City College and got an AA in electronics. You can imagine how much I have wished that my parents were like your parents. I have agoraphobia, and it lingers even though I can go out. Psychological pain and grief just don’t go away and now I realize how totally unnecessary all that pain for us was. I am glad I found the truth out about diet and even at that I was resistant to change, the Standard American Diet overdrives the tastebuds and I think it is an addiction which is self-protecting. We have the science but when you don’t want to know, you won’t even look at what will work. Over the last few years the story I’ve told to people I’ve met has been enough to people to want to change their diets. So perhaps God in his wisdom allowed me to go through what I did to show that His mercies know no limit to our age, our race, our sex or our financial status. God does not violate free-will. God bless you sir, you are a wonderful testimony of how a life should be.
Being vegan since 2009 after I had brain epileptic surgery in 2009. November 2018, had major brain aneurysm surgery. Physically recovered slowly by determination to be at the gym and exercise. However, memory was a tough conquest! 2021, breast cancer! Again because of Covid and memory deficiency, I didn’t remember to have mammogram test for 2 or 3 years. Breast reconstruction both sides, mastectomy one side. Refused radiation! Nevertheless, I am happy NOT to let any negativity thoughts enter my mind. Truly be happy from the core! It is the best “vitamin” to retain your mind in HAPPINESS FEELING!
Thank you for this encouraging video. I’m 61 have systemic lupus, my daughter is a vegan she found a dr who cured herself of lupus.. I’m in 14 days raw! I grew up on a farm had great food but in the 60s deet was used……We are micro green farmers now 4 years in, certified naturally grown we grow organically outdoors on our own. Moving forward in a true healthy path. Be well Ginnie
I'm 10 years vegan (mostly healthy but still do some junk food also). In great shape and workout a lot. I have arthritis and Sjogrens. Has a raw diet helped at all? Some days a I feel like a kid with energy. Some days I feel 80 and can hardly move.
Hi Pete, the research is becoming more and more clear that particular animal foods are so similar to our own biology, that your immune system gets confused. It may view closely-related foods you eat (genetically close to us) as antigenic; so, your body develops antibodies against them. Sadly, they are close enough that they may impact your own organs. It's sad that this isn't talked about more. This is something that researchers should look at more and educators need to discuss more. The foods we eat can be literally killing us. Thank you for sharing.
I respect and commend you on your disciplined, vegan journey, and lifestyle. I am always elated to read about, or listen to kindred spirits. I have been a vegetarian/vegan for 52 years(vegan for 30 yrs to the present). I am 80 years young, no medication, no surgeries, and no worries. Plus, I fast regularly, sensibly, I might add. When I was a vegetarian, I only consumed fish, and dairy sparingly. I have always subscribed to a practical exercise regimen, and cleansers. This was my testament to you, and your accomplishments. J. Miller
Do you think you look younger for your age? Maybe you could make a RU-vid channel to document your journey since there's not alot of people your age with testimonials
@@virtuosa69 I have been applauded for looking younger than my age; I have also been applauded for my physical vibrancy. Furthermore, I have been asked to set up a RU-vid channel chronicling my vegetarian/vegan journey, but I am not inclined to do such. Thank you for the suggestion.
Listening to him, I wish my parents had raised me on a vegan diet. But most of all, I wish I had both my parents growing up. My mom dying when I was 3 made it impossible to be happy as a child. Yet I still do my best like him and want to make the planet a better place.
Mark and I really do understand the difficulties of growing up when a child looses a parent. That is exactly what happened in our family and why we raised our niece from a very young age as if she was our daughter. She is now turning 30 in a couple of days and is as much our daughter as our biological children.
Yes, that would have been great, but as an adult we have a lot of control over our experiences. I have an involvement in many things like this man that make me happy and people in my life who bring me happiness.
My health was failing until I switched to a vegan diet my iron and vitamin D was always low until I became vegan #save the animals #save the planet and beyond #save your health!
Thank you for all this information that you had provided to all of us. Greatly appreciated! I'm in my late 60's and was on prescription pills for a few years and one day I just got tired of taking the drugs for the rest of my life and noticed that I need to make a change. I changed my eating habits and started to eat healthy, resting better, meditating, exercising and now all my problems have gone away and I'm not taking any pills but I'm still going to my cardiologist and getting my blood checked each year to see if all is good and of course all is GREAT!
@@darrenmcintosh8471 Speaking as someone whose university research and teaching includes nutrition and how people get fooled about it, I have watched some of her videos, and they are full of lots of misinformation. The best research clearly shows eating lots of saturated animal fat causes both insulin resistance and heart disease, AND increases your body burden of toxic chemicals AND is linked to higher rates of dementia. Bottom line: diets that are very low in fat and dominated by whole plant foods (and WHOLE food carbs) have consistently achieved the best overall long-term health outcomes.
@@karlwheatley1244 I'm curious about some information I've read in a preview of the book by Dr. Bill Schindler called Eat like a Human. In it he speaks of all plants on the planet having natural toxins that bio-accumulate in our bodies and eventually making us sick. He goes into great detail about it. Can you discuss?
so wonderful to listen to Mark. Surprised that when he married his wife was not plant based. Just shows his consistency in saying his diet is not the center of his life. My wife is not vegan either, and sometimes I do stroll off the path. Mark's an inspiring man, my path was started with Dr McDougall along with Diet For A Small Planet, and John Robbins" book.
What a rich and a productive life!! Very impactful interview!! Best wishes to Mr. Huberman!! And thank you to Vegan Linked for the service you are providing. You sure are changing lives for the better.
This is a fascinating interview, he is clearly a lovely balanced person and a force for community values in the world, while also being a very intelligent being. Enjoyed the rich content, the array of subject matter and the man. This series continues to be amazing, and appreciate that I can see this from New Zealand. The fact it's on RU-vid is great, hopefully it might become an offering on a streaming service like Netflix, Amazon etc. Your series seems likely to be regarded as an historic event in the future.
Amazing interview. I’ve been vegan since 16,31 now. I had ups and downs but you have refreshed my memory. Now I’m craving salads and I will make that my biggest meal of the day.
The entire interview was so enlightening. I especially loved the tour of the garden and seeing that beautiful dream of a refrigerator! What fantastic parents you had and so way ahead of their time with their knowledge of the right way to eat!
Most people that turn to a strict diet are already unhealthy, fighting some ailment or chronic illness, even if it isn't deadly. They rather show those people and laugh as they fall off the wagon.
I go to the 60. I feel 28!!! I was vegetable since 30 years and i´m vegan since ca.10 years now. I look 20 years younger now. ❤And i love animals. Thank you for you!!! Greetings from Austria 😍
Ja Sam Duh. You are just like me in many ways. I m getting close to 80.in early days a strong believer in animal protein .later past age 50 shifted to veg..and ever since never again visit doctor.feeling much healfhier than ever before.that is the magics of veg.experience its goodness.to believe.See all animals as part of nature.love them and co-exist.as one great family in animal kingdom.
What a amazing interview !!! I am so glad I find this gentleman and was able to listen his story of life. Thank you so much for your words and I am sure you won some victory for humanity 🌱
Great job, Mark! Your story is a beacon for all of us; thanks so much for sharing!! You and your family have done so much to grow this very important and special community.Your father is so proud as you have won so many victories for humanity!!!
I completely agree that this way of eating helps you control your health destiny. I was destined to live a life with diabetes and other diseases just like my family until I became aware of the benefits of a plant based lifestyle. I am still amazed that people reject this.
your deluded it destroys health in the end 32 Years Raw utter bullshit to get people on board people are droping out more than ever from the vegan diet and now they need to make it look good so alot of these kind of videos are poping up on youtube to suck people in and get them on board
@@darrenmcintosh8471 Actually, the numbers of people eating a vegan diet are increasing, but I agree raw isn't the healthiest as for some foods, cooking increases nutrient availability.
My uncle got off of pretty much every medication and his arteries have cleared. He is the oldest male in his family that he knows to live as long as he has. This was 10 years ago and now he is 83 but looks 65. Everyone has their own points of view, their own opinions. If it's not for you then it's not for you. So many people get angry when you move away from what the masses are doing. I don't know why. I'm guessing that they are feeling threatened and it scares them. I'm really not sure.
@@karnivorebaby6173 The main reason carnivore pushers resort to criticize how vegans look is because that is the only thing you've got in your argumentative toolbox... That, and anecdotes of course. Guess you checked off both in this exchange, didn't you? In this particular case you couldn't go with the "no one can be vegan longterm" so you had to go for the other sharp, water tight argumentative weapons in your arsenal. ;)
I was waiting for the troll to say the 70 year old man looks sick.. only because he’s vegan obviously. I personally have never seen a 70 year old meat eater look old or sick.. heck they all look like their in their 30s.. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Wow! I was really left with a good feeling watching your video. I was born in 63 in Pittsburg and had two working parents. I was raised on captain crunch, pop tarts, frozen meals and hamburgers. I have gradually moved more towards veganism over the last 10 years and eat about 95 pct vegan. I really enjoyed your story and your family sounds wonderful. They, and you were truly pioneers. Thank you.
Wow! Wow! Love his story and am so thankful to him for sharing it and to Vegan Linked (Jeff!) for sharing it! 70 years old and vegan since birth. Fantastic! 💗
This was a rush shoot too. I wish I could have done several things different :( But, gotta keep rolling with it, it's about the balance of quantity and quality... I have another one that's going to blow your mind in the next series, series 3! :) Well, hopefully a few more... and hopefully in the 4th series too :)
What a great speaker you are sir, you are so interesting on the subjet you know so well and you explain why and how to do it! I've been 100% plant base since only 3 weeks now and already I feel so much better, reduced my high blood pressure quite a bit. Thank-you, you are a thrue inspiration for myself and many people who will watch you great video.
I'm so happy for Mark and his amazing life, just wish I could have been plant based my whole life, but starting around 30 isn't bad. I've never felt healthier, and I haven't been sick once since I went completely Vegan. 🙂
I enjoyed listening to this brilliant and wise man! Especially the part where he is showing us his kitchen and his garden. Thank you Mark for this amazing interview and all the information you provided us with!
This video and his life story is essential. This video was definitely needed. I learned a lot and I enjoy his passion and his willingness to share. This needs to be seen by more people for sure.
I have a few of Dr. Shelton's books. "Fasting Can Save Your Life...The Science and Fine Art of Fasting...Food Combing..Natural Hygiene, etc." They are treasures, bought them over 25 years ago.
I Loved this interview SO MUCH !!! Mark is truly a beacon conveying an intelligent love and light. His words of empowerment and profound experiences and perspectives impressed such a sense of peace onto my heart and mind. Like an endearing and loving father guiding the way to a truly prosperous life that has nothing to do with monetary wealth but everything to do with the riches of a profoundly satisfying and soulful sense of well-being. Thank you 💖🙏💖🙌💖
A very curious notion struck me at the 1:13 mark. As I was watching the video up to that point - it just dawned on me - and I asked myself - Did Mark somehow appear to be YOUNGER LOOKING - than when he started the video ?? I eventually reasoned that I was watching a man who had found the "doorway" to longevity - and was now holding that door open for me and inviting me to come inside . Simply Amazing !!!
I so much agree with your frustration that Vegan restaurants lack to make basic simple and healthy sos free salads. It would make it so much easier and fun to visit restaurants like that ….😀🍀💚
I have epilepsy and I was a vegetarian for 10 years and my girlfriend at the time cooked with meat and i tryed it and got off track after gaining almost 300 pounds i changed my diet back to vegetarian diet and lost over a 100 pounds thank you for your vodeo your a inspiration god bless you.
@@alexmcmahon6104 agree, store bought dairy can make you even sick. Raw dairy from pasture raised animals is medicine tough and have many benefits. Raw vegan diet made me very sick for years.
@@jeanettenejadi1777 It's 2022 and milk is widely studied and shouldn't be consumed. It's not healthy to drink milk after being an infant and type 1 diabetes is linked to feeding milk to babies, so very unfortunate.
Dairy is completely unnecessary and unsustainable which is why it is the most cruel industries. This may help you understand ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UcN7SGGoCNI.html
Love this guy! How did I not hear about him the past few decades! I struggled with being the only weird vegan in the 1980s, and the pressure made me conform as an omnivore in the 2000s. I've been happily and back to forever veganism starting a few years ago, but I sure would have loved to know about him when I was struggling. Such an inspiration and a voi e of reason.
Waooo, you had a very great life and wonderful Parents. I’m blessed to listening to you. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with the world. I’m very lucky to have people who are really been in this lifestyle. 👌🏾👌🏾🙏🏼🙏🏼
A very valuable interview showing veganism as a diet developed for 170 years within the vegetarian movement from England, France, Germany and the USA. Here we have just a representative of the old school of veganism. These people must have been in hiding at one time, but now we get to know them and know that veganism is not a fad, but a prehistoric diet, like that of gorillas, etc. ~~ You could also collect numerous testimonies of long-time vegans from birth and make one thorough video about it.
Such an interesting story of the birth of National Health Organisation and the whole movements og 100% SOS free whole food plant Based Living and your extraordinary udbringning - and you truly look very Young. Your skin is so beautifull and you radiate purpose and passion in a very inspiring Way. And what a wonderfull garden and kitchen for healthy Living - totally inspiring 🙏🎵🍀🎶💚
We need you back fighting for health freedoms!! Many of us choose to take care of our immunity through our diets and exercise and we should have the right to decide what goes into our bodies.
I think it's great that you grew up eating the way you did and still do. I try to do the best I can. I don't eat any meat or dairy, but I still eat things that are processed, like coconut water!! It's too hard for me to open coconuts and I get such little water out of them. I was doing this making ice cream, but I haven't done it for a while. I use coconut water to make smoothies and that's how I have my greens because I don't make salads.
Wow, this is so valuable and inspiring. I am on the journey of going raw and talk like this are really helpful and motivational. Well done and thank you!
Yes ! Life changing information ! Had to leave my garden behind,now have a balcony and looking forward to growing. Heart condition but I think raw food diet will bring me Joy. Thank you for sharing
I’m so glad that Mr. Huberman enlightened me/us to the history of whole food, plant benefits that was actually based long ago in the early 1900s and even before. Thank you Vegan Linked for your way of focusing on your guests and quietly drawing out their story. Well done.
Thank you ❤ your words warm my heart and fill me with emotion even as simple as they are. These are so much effort. Like this interview, drove 10 hours on a Saturday, interviewed Mark and then Wanda Sunday and drove back home the same day. All these are done in such a rush. I usually don't know how things will go. It's a labor of love. But taxing. I imagine I will probably do this until I die. And it may even be what kills me in the process. I just want to do all I can while I can. I only want to help people live happy before my time is up. Thank you for watching and your comment ❤
I think YOU and your story is incredible, i know same doctors, your are so lucky, i went vegan for the ethical, Animal Abuse, Our government not doing anything about it, Monsanto in farmers pockets....going vegan is no animal products. thank you for your knowledge my problem not finding my products, God Bless you and your family
I’m GenX but my mom was 40 yo when I was born and they didn’t like drugs or politics. After a lot of testing and research I went vegan WFPB in 2014 after being very sick in the Hosp and don’t regret it. My role model is the late Dr Ellesworth Wareham.
