and a food for life instructor 0:44 with the physicians committee for responsible medicine John and i my husband we founded the 0:50 nonprofit transpiration after it impacted our life so much i thought i gotta go and tell people 0:56 what happened so before we get going here let me show you what anybody familiar with 1:03 this stuff here yeah look at kale more calcium and iron than 1:09 beef loaded with magnesium potassium potassium i had no idea kale could 1:15 actually be one of the most new nutrient dense foods on the planet 1:21 actually kale is most sold pizza hut was the biggest purchaser of kale did you guys know that 1:28 for their salad bar just for decorations just for decoration 1:36 i did not know you could even eat hail i’m if you want me to press it while you’re out there you think i think i’m okay 1:43 this was me before i was gonna ask you about that yeah my wife and i find ourselves more than 1:50 enough i didn’t even know you could eat vegetables without butter obviously yeah honestly so this was me 1:57 before and this wasn’t my worst how long ago was that this was somewhere in i only know my time frame by my weight 2:04 actually so this was in the year 2000 2003. this was not my heaviest 2:10 my heaviest was 280 pounds i’m 5’2 on a good day 2:16 i suffered i went from purple to pranking i was facing double knee replacements i had 2:22 diverticulitis pancreatitis i suffered from migraines my entire life ibs high 2:28 cholesterol just came with the standard american diet gastrointestinal disorders fibrocystic breast disease of course i 2:35 was depressed it did not feel very good chronic illness every week i spent going to the doctor’s office every week my 2:41 life my calendar was this appointment this specialist this specialist autoimmune disease 2:48 advanced osteoarthritis and acid reflux is what kind of 2:54 catapulted this into what’s gonna happen next so john and i were pretty 3:00 pretty here you know how many of you guys are familiar with this stuff where was your husband having health probes also 3:06 yeah i’ll get to that it just started it just started 3:12 yeah so how many of you guys have been familiar with these diets yes called quick fixes 3:20 i tried everything i may have lost a couple pounds because it works to lose 3:25 some weight but it never reversed disease and it was never sustainable you know 3:30 i’d lose a couple pounds gained 20 back lose a couple of bonds gained 30 back 3:36 some people called me a professional dieter i hated that i have someone who says that choose a 3:41 yo-yo diet that’s a good that is an excellent way to put it a yo-yo dieter here’s me yo-yo in right here yo-yoing 3:48 right back up it never ended i don’t have many pictures of me before 3:54 because i didn’t want to see them i just did it my whole life was not what year it was it was what size i was what i 4:01 weighed and then one day my daughter over here on the left kelly she came home and she 4:07 said in 2012 are you brittany okay 2012 my daughter haley came home 4:13 and she said mom i want to go vegan and i said that’s the dumbest thing i ever heard you’re going 4:19 to die of protein deficiency where are you going to get your calcium 4:25 she was 15 at the time and we went to missouri up to the top of the the arch 4:31 and i remember i thought i’m never going to be able to do this again i just finished double meniscus repairs a 4:37 month prior and i could barely walk and i said you walked up probably to the elevator you know that little barrel you 4:43 know that i could i didn’t want to get it so she said i want to go vegan and i thought this is just ridiculous 4:49 so i went to the internet and i was like how long did you live without me i was determined to come back and say 4:56 you can’t do this i’m not gonna allow it you’re gonna be sick but i found something else about it yeah not only can we live without me and i 5:03 found out we could thrive without it but i wasn’t ready i was deep into weight watchers and here i was with 5:09 what i thought was a proud moment i feel like i went back to y’all i thought this was a proud moment we 5:15 had just finished a 30-day weight watchers challenge with our family and we were looking good here so we’re posing for our after picture here and i 5:22 thought this is it as good as it gets john was just rolling into his net what would be our ninth surgery in 11 months 5:30 my son zachary he was battling depression because no kid in high school wants to go through this 5:36 but i thought this was you know my family we were all big i thought this is just the way our life was gonna be and 5:42 my daughters they were runners up with chronic disease because you know hereditary i’m just kidding it 5:48 was actually the food i was bringing home so i remember when i searched with that 5:53 kermit i came across this movie forks over knives i watched five minutes of it and i said well this is a bunch of bowl 6:00 i’m not doing it but i know my daughter’s not gonna die is what they’re saying so john remember we were like 6:06 let’s just get her the milk if we keep complaining about it she’s going to keep doing it 6:11 so i kept buying her vegan food which 10 years ago there was not beyond burger 6:17 there was not fake cheeses it was really whole food plant-based and i didn’t even know what that was 6:23 so there we go wrong button let’s see if i click this i don’t know 6:30 how that’s working it’s changing on the computer how did i do that 6:35 let me go back here all right let’s see 6:40 the projector well we were close to rolling but we’re going to get on let me see where it was 6:47 here the forks over knives so here was us 6:52 before get that off staley 6:58 yeah anything the computer projector talking anymore no i i think she just 7:03 clicked on like the powerpoint program for the love of kale 7:09 come up here and fix it for me please these guys don’t want to wait one more 7:15 minute are you plant plant-powered not yet 7:21 making it worse i’m adding slides instead of that’s okay you’re not making it worse we were right 7:27 here okay so yeah younger thank you that’s great you don’t want to admit 7:33 smarter yeah okay so then i stopped bringing an animal home after i watched that movie 7:39 because i was sitting around with my family watching this movie thinking so they’re telling me everything i bring 7:45 home that’s animal related is actually causing these problems i could not just lose weight i could reverse disease 7:51 i got to see if this actually works because i’m dying i’m fat and i’m and i’m not feeling good so i stopped 7:57 bringing an animal home and my family lost 250 pounds on accident while we were eating our plants off 8:03 it really changed our life so much that’s why i drove out here because i wanted to tell more people this doesn’t 8:10 just work for me it works for everybody that does it i’m afraid to touch this let’s just keep going over here 8:17 these are the ones sailing added in we were living a standard american guy life we were eating the standard american 8:23 diet and we were suffering from the standard american diseases so it was our family so as our friends our neighbors 8:29 we were all just you know doing our thing this was my son zachary and i before 8:35 he’s 18 right here and life sucked for him it really did and i 8:41 just kept saying don’t let the bullies bother you you know keep on going 8:46 you know come to weight watchers with me let’s eat this low-fat cottage cheese let’s do this stuff where we’re counting 8:53 calories this kid had had it but when i gave him some plans this 8:58 changed everything wow yeah i’m just gonna cry if i just don’t kiss 9:04 how much time we did this in about 10 months wow really quickly so this was me working out before and i’m not kidding 9:10 you i thought i was healthy eating my lean chicken my ground turkey my low-fat cottage cheese and i’m 9:16 getting my cardio but something happened nobody told me 9:23 about that if i just got some weights and a bike right here five pound weights i did this on an accident john walked by me 9:29 one day he said did you see yourself well i wasn’t looking i was just feeling so good i just every day was like my 9:36 gosh look at this he said you’re jacked i did that on accident i’ve never been 9:42 the size i never been on this weight except for when i was born and i had never had seen this in my life 9:49 so i said take a picture i gotta look at it a little longer so after i saw that you guys can imagine why didn’t 9:54 anyone tell me i go to the doctor i’m thinking i’m hurting myself i go people think i’m 10:00 sick i’m losing weight i have all this energy maybe i’m overdosing on 10:05 vitamins i really did i went in like i think something’s wrong with me people are telling me i looked 10:11 sick because i’m my healthy weight that really started freaking me out so i 10:17 went in the doctor’s office and he said yeah i’ve heard about this plant-based stuff i said we’ll do my 10:22 labs you know you’ve been with me for 20 years i got all these problems my labs came back 100 perfect no more autoimmune 10:29 no more high cholesterol i got off my blood pressure pills before the doctor’s office because i called myself i’m 10:35 falling asleep something’s wrong so if you think about doing this and you’re taking medicine right now 10:40 let your doctor know it’s that serious i get a lot of people that overdose on their meds because they’re eating their 10:46 plants away and they’re reversing their disease so i got a megaphone i started 10:53 plantspiration and i started telling everybody i could i built a little well now it’s again a bigger community of all 11:00 these people from all over the world i’ve gone global because i started telling everybody hey 11:05 i want to show you how to do it too these are just some of the people represent and here’s just some of the diseases our transpiration members 11:12 have reversed how do they do it well i teach you know cooking classes on wednesday like sally does we’ve got the 11:19 support group i do you know lots of stuff like that but it’s the plants that did it you know we can lower cholesterol 11:25 within 11 hours but the consistency is how we really get this stuff turned around so autoimmune we see a lot of 11:32 that going away chronic pain a lot of people saying they’re not depressed deep reticulitis everybody’s got it it seems 11:38 like but not my group not the people sally’s teaching you know high blood pressure hashimoto’s polycystic ovary 11:45 disease silly i got to go pregnant i didn’t do it but the plants did i 11:52 didn’t she was trying to get regular infertility pcos 11:57 she changed her diet and i didn’t do it i just showed everybody how to do it you know what i mean we have plants aren’t that magical they aren’t but they yeah 12:07 they did it you know and if you’re not in it for the health even there’s other things this is what my family has done in 10 years we 12:14 calculated we’ve saved 18 262 animals 317 000 pounds of co2 547 almost 8 000 12:24 square feet of forest 821 000 pounds of grain and 20 million or billion gallons of water or something like that that’s 12:30 just our house that’s very brilliant imagine what you guys could do we got a planet on fire people eating themselves 12:37 as death and animals going we don’t know because of our taste buds so we really need to take them out john 12:42 i love you thank you thank you and i said you know really why continue to treat the symptoms with 12:48 pills when we can treat the positive plants is what this is all about and i 12:53 did it all with this stuff lasagna tacos p hold on let me show you stanley look at this we got 12:59 dabbled eggs down there yeah that’s tons of pizzas i’ve cooked over 150 classes i’ve 13:06 done 450 recipes i’ve made no oil low fat high fiber is what that’s all 13:12 about but in case you didn’t notice we’re not missing any foods flavors or cuisines 13:18 on a whole food plant-based lifestyle that’s me and now i’m here to show you guys exactly how i get this done easy 13:26 thank you do you want me to turn off yeah 13:33 what’d you guys think out there thanks so much for watching this is weird there’s like two audiences 13:38 when everybody wants to go plant-based they do what they get a book they go online i mean i know i did then 13:44 the recipes are like where do i begin where am i going to get my protein my 13:50 gosh eat the rainbow rieger says nuts these guys say starches where where’s the middle where do we even begin it 13:56 gets so overwhelming everybody usually just says you know what i’ll deal with this later john thank you 14:03 this him he did it he lost about 50 pounds did somebody see skinny did you say that 14:10 he is that’s weird to me yeah i never even i thought he was 14:15 skinny before really i would feed him more because i thought if he’s bigger i’ll look smaller 14:21 i really did i really did now he’s out there biking with me and we 14:26 never had bikes before so i want to teach you guys the simplest easiest way that i get people to do this 14:34 and i want you to keep asking me questions as we go along because you’ve been here waiting long enough and john’s 14:39 gonna start serving the food and you get to tell me how much you love it so anybody’s familiar with oats 14:46 cheap easy one of the highest antioxidant grains that we’ve got on the planet so with every bite i just look at it this 14:53 way how many of you buckle up how many of you wear your seatbelt yeah you guys wear your seat belts yeah 15:00 how many of you take it off halfway to your destination not quite but i as i 15:06 return to the parking lot maybe not right so that’s how i started looking at what 15:11 i brought home from my grocery store what we put on our plate is just as 15:17 smart as keeping ourselves safe in the car we’re going to keep what keep ourselves safe with what we put on our 15:22 plate every bite every bite you’re either feeding disease or you’re fighting it 15:27 and that right there was enough for me to say i gotta change this i wanna we 15:32 should be dying of old age not chronic disease so i went to the grocery store walmart 15:39 aldi we got them the same stores oats okay we’re going to take a cup of oats i 15:45 haven’t cooked oats in 10 years i don’t even soak them i don’t even i 15:50 don’t even have the patience it’s so good i just started eating it like this but i did soak yours 15:56 this from this morning because i didn’t want to be too much so oats are awesome you can use oats for 16:02 making burgers you can make oats for breakfast you can use this for dessert i’m gonna add in 16:09 i think it’s a half a tablespoon you know you’ve been doing it so long you just start throwing this up and how many 16:14 of you guys are using chia seeds what in the kale are these things all of a sudden we’re seeing everywhere right 16:21 what are you guys doing with your chia seeds smoothies 16:28 they make awesome pancakes why do we eat chia seeds what’s the big what’s the big deal with them 16:35 there’s some protein in them they’ve got the omega-3s and everybody’s worried about the fish 16:41 right we gotta have fish to get those omegas we gotta have fish where are the fish getting those omegas 16:47 well they’re not eating chia seeds but but we’re going to get it just like this 16:53 all right so we don’t need to worry so if anybody’s like my gosh you’re omegas i’ve got it right here in my food 16:59 we’re going to take a little bit of maple syrup or agave i didn’t want you guys eating stuff that tastes like dirt 17:05 you know we gotta make it taste good so we’re gonna just add in maybe a tablespoon into this serving of one cup 17:12 of oats a little bit of chia seeds and if you’ve got kids they all like that cereal with 17:18 the colors that’s what makes colors plants we’ve got a couple blueberries 17:24 all right blueberries you guys know everybody eats blueberries why 17:30 high in antioxidants they’re great for fighting disease why put a little bit of berries with a little bit of milk and 17:36 cancel it out get the plant milk go all the way all right so we’re just gonna i love soy 17:43 milk because does anybody follow me they don’t love soy milk well first of all it’s great if you’ve got menopause you 17:50 can make it go away soy is one of the biggest cancer fighters we’ve got out there but it’s 17:55 also one of the biggest rumors out there is that soy causes all kinds of problems 18:00 gynecomastia man boobs stuff like that but if you go out on the beach and you go ask any of those bigger dudes 18:08 how much soy milk are you drinking guess what they’re gonna tell you none 18:13 that stuff is coming from the animal it’s not from the soy japan was plant-based 18:18 drink eating their soy eating their tofu eating their rice eating their vegetables they had the lowest rate of 18:24 chronic disease until the western diet came and mcdonald’s comes in now they’re all sick 18:31 i don’t want to see that right what do you guys think of this we want to get this food out so i’m just adding 18:37 a cup of soy milk plant milk whatever milk you guys like and that’s how quick 18:43 you actually have a breakfast now you could eat it right now like this like i did this morning 18:49 but kids love the blue milk this is so delicious who’s eating it already if you 18:55 love it raise your hand two minutes you just saw me in two minutes roll up in my car and throw some food together how you guys doing out 19:01 there that’s weird you guys are watching here in pennsylvania 19:08 ireland 19:15 my family’s from ireland originally all right so this is it 19:20 you can let it sit in your refrigerator overnight you can eat it for breakfast you could eat it for dessert you can eat 19:25 it all day long this is how i stopped counting calories i stopped counting points i stopped measuring my food 19:32 except for my demos but i stopped worrying about those kinds of things because there’s so much fiber in 19:38 this stuff 97 of america’s deficient in fiber 19:43 we all know it because look at the commercials out there laxatives brown food 19:48 laxatives more brown food you know the coloring that we’re supposed to be eating they 19:53 say eat the rainbow it’s because our eyes are naturally drawn to those colors 19:59 that’s why the marketers are putting red on some of those commercials with those burgers and those chicken patties look 20:05 at the food it’s brown and then you got a laxative commercial sailing doesn’t that kill you watching 20:11 it yes it does it’s hard i go all the way through i don’t watch commercials i watch it just so i get fired up to say 20:17 you guys all you need is this so everybody called me or joyce right joyce they ate the beans the other night i did 20:24 a talk in latrobe and they’re all like man i didn’t need my metamucil 20:30 everything starts working you know like drano except this tastes better it’s going to make you feel really good 20:37 and that’s all i want everybody to do this doesn’t just work for me this works for everybody and here’s why i’m out 20:42 here doing this having these free events like sally i believe everybody has a right to know plants work for everybody 20:49 and everybody has the right to know that’s it that was pretty good right 20:56 was it worth the wait that’s all i wanted to know and easy and i wish i was giving it to 21:02 you guys so that you could try it it’s like a blueberry muffin did you try sale yeah 21:07 this kind yes i wanted to show it to you you can make so many different ways so the other 21:13 night i added this with it’s delicious carrot cake i mean on in 21:19 latrobe so we just use the same ingredients mix the blueberries out with carrots 21:25 shredded some cinnamon and raisins and you’ve got carrot cake we personally eat this every day which 21:31 is bananas raisins and cinnamon we don’t wait overnight i call them right now oats 21:38 50 pound bags you buy 50 pound bags 25. i don’t want to 21:43 people ask me all the time at the grocery store because we blow up horses everywhere and stephanie do you have a horse i said no 21:50 i just eat like and i really do i really do i eat about three to five pounds of food a day two 21:56 to three thousand calories it’s not just about the food of course i teach lifestyle medicine you know getting that 22:03 exercise in doing some stress management but at first none of that was even in my 22:08 it wasn’t even in my peripheral view it’s when you started eating and feeling 22:13 good that things started getting a little bit more mindful as i went along right more calm are you plant-based over 22:19 here because you guys got the plain glow yeah that’s the salad you got the plant glow 22:24 but right it’s true once you start eating better things start turning a little bit different 22:30 could be because we’re not putting any more fat down our arteries i don’t just talk about the arteries here those 22:35 little veins those little arteries they’re clogging up everywhere when we’re eating that animal fat even 22:41 chicken with no skin 45 saturated fat cholesterol but i thought 22:47 it was good for me right they were lying i had purdue convincing me that i need a 22:54 chicken yes i love it is it advantageous to let the chia seed bloom for about 15 23:00 minutes once the liquid hits them you can you don’t have to do it ahead of time 23:05 what do you what do you mean by that like wait to eat them until they get swelled up yeah you don’t have to but it is it is better because you don’t 23:12 realize when they get in you they really fill you up yeah 23:17 you can eat them right away but take it easy done we don’t need a lot 23:22 this one is done we have more of people want you like cold chia versus versus ground 23:30 chia i’ve not we ground up chia to do some pump some pancakes yeah i 23:36 always wonder what i think you absorb it better if it’s ground i recommend ground yeah 23:42 flax for sure i recommend ground or buy it whole and then when you grind it up like the whole everybody’s into their 23:48 coffee gotta get the right coffee beans gotta ground it fresh that’s how i feel about 23:53 my flaxseeds stuff like that i just want you guys to eat plants so 23:59 whatever you eat the chia seeds whole or anything what’d you think of the it’s pretty good are you okay 24:06 you are now right awesome every morning night whatever 24:12 let’s go on to the next recipe this is one of my favorites sailing i made this 24:17 in chicago for 800 people i didn’t make it for 800 people but i i showed how to do it 24:24 and now i’m here to show you canned beans of course you can buy lentils and beans 24:30 and soak them and cook them that way but my goal here is to show you we don’t have we don’t have to go through all 24:36 those steps to get this one and done so if it’s okay to open up a can of beans 24:42 rinse them off and throw them right into your bowl right here we also have 24:48 a cup of quinoa somewhere john i need quinoa there it is 24:55 you guys i don’t know if you notice i’m a little discombobulated but we’re rolling usually at home 25:02 we’ve got quinoa here terrifying came up bitter washed it off it has saponins on it 25:07 which is the naturally occurring like bug repellent okay the plants are amazing it puts it onto the quinoa so 25:15 that the bugs kind of don’t get to it but if you rinse it off a little bit you can get rid of that bitter taste i’m 25:20 going to show you really how you do john and i thought i needed a mic they shut the door i must be loud 25:27 we’re gonna add in a half a cup of quinoa which comes out to about two cups cooked 25:32 i don’t know don’t worry it won’t mess it up we’ll make sure you get the recipes we’re gonna mix it up a little bit 25:39 we’re gonna add in some lycopenes or as you guys call them tomatoes i mean this is some cancer fighting 25:45 stuff right here guys who are eating tomatoes you know you’re reducing your risk of prostate cancer by a lot is all 25:51 i’m gonna say you’ve got nothing to lose by doing this except for weight chronic disease 25:58 and you’ll gain more time you’ll gain more life let’s see usually they put these in little 26:03 set up all nice but this is all we’re gonna do some green onions we’ve got about two to four green onions or 26:09 scallions as they call it and let’s see what else i’ve got a dressing how can we have a salad without 26:16 a dressing and how many of you find dressings with no oil impossible 26:24 it is and they cost so much money and you know the oil people are just making money 26:29 even the vegetable oil people when you’re taking the nutrients out and the fiber out what are you left with 26:35 100 fat not but stephanie i need oil for my joints are you the tin man 26:43 we don’t need oil for a joint we need an anti-inflammatory lifestyle so animal protein eggs meat dairy cheese even oil 26:52 is an inflammatory to your body oil is also a carcinogen and it causes endothelial damage does anybody know 26:59 what that is i didn’t either i didn’t even know i didn’t even know that word until i started reading when you eat these 27:05 things animals and processed foods oils this endothelial lining is the 27:12 life jacket of your artery and every time we eat something like that it 27:17 starts you know scraping it up a little bit so how many of you guys have banged your shin on the coffee table 27:23 yeah do you move it no we keep banging into it right but imagine if you did bang into it morning noon and night it would 27:30 never heal and that’s kind of what goes on and then how about when you scrape your arm 27:35 it is doing the same thing it’s a microscopic level in there and then when we get those scrapes then that saturated 27:41 band that cholesterol gets in there then it starts making building up and building up that fat and then boom 27:47 we have these heart attacks did you know that dr aselson says heart attacks need not exist 27:54 what is that have you guys heard that heart attacks are food related disease 28:00 sure genetics genetics tells me if your family had it if you eat this way you’re going to get it but genetics may load 28:07 the gun but food is what pulls a trigger dr esselstyn one of our mentors as 28:13 you know you can become heart attack proof in three weeks on a whole food plant-based 28:19 low-fat high fiber which this is all we’re doing here he used to be called plant-based 28:24 but then burger king made plant-based burgers and taco bell the same plant-based even purdue is saying but 28:30 our chickens are plant-based what in the tarnation are they doing 28:36 horses do not eat protein what what do they think is in grass and all that soy 80 of our land is being used 28:44 just to feed these animals for them you know for us okay so anyway well what’s your dressing the dressing 28:50 i’m getting to right here you can put this in a measuring cup but don’t worry about it i’ve got a half actually i 28:57 doubled this one we it’s over here we’ve got about a half of a cup 29:03 of orange juice i’m gonna get my quarter cup i usually 29:08 double it it’s so good you’re gonna double it right away so just a quarter cup of orange juice i fresh squeeze you 29:14 can even buy a container of it that’s fine quarter cup of this and we’re gonna add 29:20 a quarter cup of seasoned vinegar yeah the salon hey joyce what are 29:26 you doing here how’d you meet us joyce plant ladies 29:32 this is how this is spread as people find out about the plants they’re inspired about it and now they want to 29:37 be here showing other people this works too joyce she’s doing awesome maybe she’ll try a 29:42 quarter cup of seasoned vinegar i’m watching my lines inside 29:47 really easy it is a rice vinegar yeah quarter cup 29:52 of orange juice quarter cup of rice vinegar and we’ve got two teaspoons of white miso paste anybody see this 29:59 miso stuff before me so hungry when i eat it it tastes so good 30:05 also it reduces your risk of cancers what are we not putting this on our plate for 30:11 every day it could be high in sodium but sing it sally 30:17 but it is as gregor says yeah these the 30:23 soy in the fermented soy offsets yes 30:29 it’s okay in the miso yeah that’s a little bit different yeah you 30:34 gotta take it easy but you don’t need it with this kind of stuff so we’re gonna add in here two 30:41 teaspoons of miso paste which really gives it a kick we’re gonna add in one teaspoon of garlic or a 30:48 clove of garlic i mean and again cancer fighting but everybody’s like garlic cancer fighting why don’t everything 30:55 might be cancer fighting right how do you like it i can drink it and i’m talking about 31:00 the absolutely now you know i got my measurements mixed about a quarter cup now just go the whole way you’re going 31:05 to want to put it on your oats so i’m going to add in some garlic 31:10 just like that and i bought the jarred garlic you can buy jarred you can buy whatever’s easiest is all i want you all 31:16 to do don’t make it difficult keep it easy this is about the biggest recipe i ever teach we’ve got some 31:24 ginger which you could shred it up yourself you just peel it a little bit and shred it 31:30 or you can get it in the jar to make it easy there we go we’re going to add a little bit of black sesame seeds look at 31:38 this a new container we’re going to add those in there a teaspoon tablespoon 31:44 and john i forgot the maple syrup but that’s okay we don’t need it you really don’t know 31:51 isn’t it good what do you guys think easy i want you to see how easy it is i took 31:57 quinoa 12 tomatoes you don’t even need to syrup 32:04 all right i’m not going to do it i’m going to go with you on that one 32:09 that’s how easy it is to make this delicious salad now when you go to somebody’s house 32:15 don’t walk in and say check out this vegan salad just bring it in 32:20 not one person is gonna say a word other than what’s the recipe 32:25 that was awesome i love these little lids so this is it 32:31 here we go right now i don’t know about you 32:37 but this is the only thing i want to eat there’s things that make me feel better things that help me live live longer 32:43 things that help me fight chronic disease i mean i’m not inhuman of course i can get sick just like we buckle up 32:49 every day we didn’t get in an accident in here thank god but it was smart to keep yourself safe and that’s all i want 32:57 you guys to do is just eat more fruits and vegetables more beans more greens but stephanie my doctor said don’t eat 33:03 fruit it’s high in sugar fire your doctor it’s not their fault but that is just 33:09 false information misinformation that we’re really trying to change the nutrition information that’s 33:16 getting out there so sally and i we know the latest and greatest in the nutrition 33:21 information out there and that’s why we’re out here doing this did i say thank you enough did i say thank you 33:27 enough i can’t believe i’m here too we have a couple questions here from the studio audience of course let’s see okay 33:33 and there might be but someone said for the map if you put in maple syrup how much would you buy the maple syrup is one 33:41 tablespoon of maple syrup or agave or agave okay and they’ll get you’re going 33:46 to give me these three recipes and i can send it to 100 good sir 33:54 i love it it’s excellent i would say you could use that too or not at all 33:59 it’s even probably gonna be good i love quinoa because it’s a complete protein everybody asks you what about a complete 34:05 protein it’s actually in quinoa just for a quick example 34:10 how much ginger did you put in one teaspoon of ginger okay one teaspoon you’ll get and for the oats recipe 34:18 how many servings for that ultimate recipe that you just it was two servings but you know if you’re active or you’re 34:25 you’re following a low fat for me it’s one to really keep this rolling is to keep it low fat low fat means keep your 34:33 nuts out of your hands and use them only in the ingredients it’s a really great way to use it 34:38 it is right because once you have one hand one cashew is about one gram of fat 34:44 one cashew and if when i’m working with people 20 to 30 grams of fat is really 34:50 where we want to stay when we’re in that reversing maintaining you know so when 34:55 you think of one cashew look at how many can quickly go in and everybody goes plant-based like i got nuts i don’t know 35:02 why i’m losing not losing weight but i’ve got nuts because i’m teaching low fat that’s how we really just get to eat 35:08 our plants off and quite honestly i would prefer this whole bowl over a couple nuts which actually let 35:14 me see how many servings this is so this is two servings and this is two servings and it’s eight 35:20 grams of fat so that’s four grams so it’s either eight cashews or this whole thing wow that’s great 35:27 yeah yeah that is this is why i’m not gaining weight while i’m eating my plants off is what i call it i’m eating my plants off now if you’re already thin 35:35 all right then we change things up a little bit you know we can add a little bit more fats in but just to give you an 35:41 idea of what those fats do does anybody know what three sweet potatoes are in grams of fat 35:47 one and a half grams of fat for three sweet potatoes potatoes don’t make you fat it’s what 35:52 you’re putting on and i didn’t know i ate just like everybody else all right i thought lean 35:58 chicken i cooked every day for my family i made them their steamed veggies or you know veggies i didn’t know you could eat 36:03 vegetables without butter honestly did you guys know that i didn’t even know what 36:09 i didn’t even know what half these things were quinoa but man it changes your life what do you guys 36:15 think of the quinoa salad you like it fantastic 36:21 well i mean you’re here you must have some questions you must be thinking about this so i want to know why you’re 36:27 thinking and cilantro but some folks don’t really care for it but there it is 36:33 plants are so forgiving you know i’ve messed up you can rinse them off you can start all over i don’t have to heat up 36:39 an oven or you know let stuff thaw out unless i freeze my chili but this can be 36:45 really easy the simplest foods are the easiest foods cook up your brown rice 36:51 you know you can freeze some of it make your beans ahead of time blend your beans up into a 36:57 a bean dip the easier you keep it and the simpler rice and beans you know pasta and 37:04 steamed veggies that’s how people are sailing through this you know easy foods things you love 37:11 how am i at sally see what i mean we’re doing good you’re doing fantastic how are you guys doing 37:17 thank you everybody for being here i just am so inspired by people who want to feel better 37:24 people who want to feel better and if you go into this and you’re like i can’t stick to it that’s all right just the next day keep eating more vegetables 37:30 keep eating more fruit all right this is the all-time best recipe and 37:36 how’s those going back there you guys you guys are awesome see what we’re all out here doing just 37:42 trying to inspire more people to eat more plants what are you guys thinking pretty good right 37:47 yeah you ready for seconds what was that 37:52 did you say you’re getting full from a cup of food do you know why fiber the fiber 37:59 you know anybody got the kids a toy where you have that little pill and you put it in water and it blows up 38:07 that’s fighting when you get that fiber in 40 grams a day is a baseline okay 40 grams 38:15 when you get that fiber in it fills you up it keeps you satiated it removes 38:21 excess hormones estrogen from your body it really does start leveling you out it 38:27 also burns more energy three times more energy than the standard american diet so when 38:33 people were thinking i was on frogs and acting crazy it was the fiber that was 38:38 doing that to me it was making me feel so good giving me so much energy now we’re going to talk about fibering up 38:44 you’re barely this whole one wrap is 11 grams of 38:50 fiber okay 11 grams of fiber this can is 21 grams that’s 30 grams we’re at right here i 38:57 said 40. so if you just keep eating it just keeps working all right 39:03 so we’ve taken the chickpeas back in the kitchen and i’ve smashed it up into some hummus you can clearly make your own and 39:10 spend a little bit more time but you can also get a store brand one i found a really incredible brand out by 39:17 me called oasis this is hard not to throw my stuff i’m not in my kitchen in my kitchen i’m throwing everything 39:24 this is a brand with no oil which i love because then i could just keep on eating it and not worrying about a darn 39:30 thing but if you can’t find everything without oil it’s okay just a little bit of change at a time is a big change in 39:36 the end all right let me give you my spoons 39:42 we’re gonna just make a wrap in two seconds paige like this goes so pretty 39:47 yeah let me come over here i’m just gonna show you yes thank you sally thank you guys for watching 39:57 extreme wellness high fiber [Music] and it is very nature to you did you 40:03 guys see that keto friendly what did you say 40:14 unless you’ve got seizures you shouldn’t be doing keto nobody should be doing keto actually it is the 40:21 it increases your risk of mortality of all causes does anybody did anybody know that 40:26 keto increases your risk of mortality by all causes heart disease type 2 diabetes 40:34 kidney diseases if you want those things then do keto you might be able to lose 40:39 weight sure you can lose weight doing keto it works it really does work soda’s doing cocaine 40:48 that does not make it healthy is my point you know what i mean i started looking at things a little differently like you 40:54 know that’s how it works yeah see what i mean i used to be a big smoker i used to be a big drinker now 41:00 i’m a big plant eater because there’s what was that what are the wraps 41:06 so far i just got a wrap no the wrap itself i’m not sure what these are 41:12 we’ve got this wrap here i’ve covered the whole wrap and hummus now if you’ve got kids this is a recipe to start 41:19 bringing in and don’t need to say they’re vegan or plant-based just start bringing in good food watch how easy this is you guys 41:28 what is this beta-carotene all right we all need the beta-carotene how many of you are taking basic protein pills 41:35 pretty much everybody’s got some beta-carotene in their pills or their vitamins it’s common from here and when 41:40 we stop stripping it and putting it into a powder you’re getting so much more right here i think it’s 47 garlic pills 41:47 are equivalent to one garlic opponent how about that you need to take a lot of vitamins 41:52 or you can eat a lot of plants so we’re just gonna cover half the wrap just like that in carrots just half of it 41:59 i want these guys to see actually if i do this sally how’s the zoom people doing out there 42:04 they’re fantastic through the computer yeah yeah yeah 42:11 you can eat them all no limit no restricting low carb diets increase 42:16 again risk of heart disease we need carbs whoever’s been telling you guys we don’t need carbs is wrong i mean unless 42:22 you talk about doughnuts we don’t need donut carbs but potatoes brown rice 42:28 pastas these are things that fuel every cell in our body let me get back to the wraps what was that 42:34 ridiculous right it feels like you’re in a fancy restaurant with these foods right i just 42:40 made them right here in your library ten seconds ago i pulled up and i still lift them up so we’re just gonna take 42:46 some wraps i try to make it a little you know slow because it’s that quick to go vegan 42:52 there it is that’s what you guys are eating simple easy and delicious is all i want to make 42:58 this for everybody now i could come in here and make lasagnas and 32 course meals not really but i just want to eat 43:05 like this i just want to eat my potatoes and my beans i can make a lasagna whenever i want i can eat tacos hey 43:12 america guy what do you think i see you’re checking it out it’s good it is right 43:19 load it up eat it all you want we have this for dinner breakfast lunch i don’t care as long as you guys are eating your 43:24 planets off because you all deserve to feel your best you all deserve to live your best life 43:30 and not enough people are out here talking about it so that’s why i’m out here with you i can’t believe you invited me out here 43:37 sally it’s via joyce when i’ve heard that you were coming we’ve got to grab you 43:43 someone wanted to know the dressing did you is it just enough for the salad or did you 43:49 it’s just enough for the salad so the ingredients for the dressing are a quarter cup of orange juice a quarter 43:55 cup of the rice vinegar the one teaspoon of garlic or a clove one teaspoon of 44:01 ginger one tablespoon of maple syrup and sprinkled in about a half a teaspoon of 44:09 two teaspoons of black sesame seeds and two teaspoons of miso paste 44:14 and boy does this give you everybody who tested this out said it tasted like it was an asian restaurant or asian 44:21 cuisine what did you think about it yeah you could eat it all right yeah no 44:27 limits flimmering this way and i mean this i mean this i’m not just saying this so people say stephanie i’m not 44:32 losing weight joyce you’re there every saturday in my meetings and i gotta tell them you have 44:38 to eat more food how many of you guys have heard eat more food to lose weight 44:43 teresa is like i have now but i didn’t then right 44:48 it is confusing how could you lose weight eating more food 44:54 it’s the fiber it’s the low fat so two tablespoons of 44:59 vegetable oil two tablespoons of vegetable oil anybody want to take a 45:04 guess how many grams of fat is in that [Music] you’re close i like your thinking too by 45:11 the way 27 grams of fat for two tablespoons you know quick two tablespoons goes in 45:17 something done now that’s your whole day of fat that’s how it starts accumulating but 45:23 when you’re eating like this low fat low fat look at this i mean you are not going to get fat from carrots and rice 45:30 potatoes aren’t you know doing it the pasta is not doing it it’s what we’re putting on it but we can have the same 45:37 foods flavors cuisines without getting into all that easy peasy you guys we got this sally 45:44 absolutely what do you think about these have you ever tried these never so fantastic i wish i could say i invented 45:51 these but these are from the 20-year evidence-based food for life curriculum 45:57 with the physicians committee for responsible medicine so this has been around for 20 years like pritikin well 46:03 he is way back i should say orange started the the program heart disease reversal this is the physicians 46:09 committee food for life program it was designed by doctors dietitians 46:14 nurses and plant-based chefs making these recipes that i can bring back into the community and say hey you 46:20 guys people have been loving this for 20 years and now i want you to love it too right why not eat i love food how many 46:26 guys love food you love food back there a guy in the brown shirt i know you do that’s why 46:32 you’re here that’s why you guys are here now i want you to have food that loves you back 46:38 and just because it doesn’t matter where you’re at you can start at any time yes 46:43 i wonder how you manage this about tolerance not meaning to be incensed no yeah but i’ve been a vegetarian for half 46:51 a century i’m very regulation when i introduced more fiber 46:57 i need a seat belt in the back yes yes how do you balance that out 47:06 this is an excellent question so rinsing beans number one is going to be 47:11 the best way to keep that turbulence down and definitely in the beginning it’s like whoa crop dusting everywhere 47:18 but hey that’s good that means this is working your body’s getting used to this kind of new you know gut going once he 47:25 felt our food yeah put a seatbelt on so the smaller the bean the less the 47:31 turbulence okay so start off with the lentils first kind of go up i’m gonna throw something out here the darker the 47:37 bean the higher in antioxidants but you’ll get there start with the smaller beans make sure you’re rinsing them off 47:42 really good and you can put into the beans and it’ll reduce it and 47:50 even afterwards if it’s still blowing you up a little bit people are uncomfortable when they first start 47:55 they’re like i’m i don’t like the way i feel i said that’s called full 48:00 that’s called fold all right usually if you’re full with a bunch of oils and 48:05 no animals have no fiber eggs cheese meat dairy no fiber plants 48:12 fiber how much dietary cholesterol do we need even do you guys know how much cholesterol we need a day 48:18 you better make your own cholesterol a plus we need zero dietary cholesterol 48:24 we make your own cholesterol so if we are truly meant to evolve eat meat do you think our arteries 48:30 should be able to evolve with it we weren’t meant to be eating animals and i used to eat them too 48:35 once i found out i could feel this stood up hey happy birthday john our birthday’s tomorrow i didn’t think 48:41 i’d be here yeah i’m gonna be 51 tomorrow all right i feel better than i did when 48:47 i was 20 and i didn’t look like this when i was 20. so it’s never too late to make these 48:52 changes what do you guys think of the food that’s how quick it was i was like silly i’ll get it all done in time 48:58 because i have to usually slow it down it’s that easy to go vegan or plant-based are there any other 49:04 questions yeah let’s i want to get get did i answer the bean question yeah i use rice a lot or 49:12 pasta 49:22 [Music] 49:28 vegan cheeses were horrible yeah they’re still i mean i’m grateful that they’re there 49:40 [Music] yeah i mean i’m really yeah i’m really grateful there’s all 49:46 these transition foods and the vegan cheeses we started getting but you know out there and i started eating them so i 49:52 was like hey i lost 100 pounds you know i want to start eating these vegan cheeses i brought my autoimmune back which is the oil 49:59 so oil isn’t inflammatory we really have been misled on these things there’s 50:04 nothing healthy about it celery i usually when i make milk i like to 50:09 chop celery yes and celery is high fiber 50:15 beans are the highest in fiber celery’s on the little lower end but keep eating the celery 50:22 but the highest in fiber is going to be beans broccoli things like 50:28 grains or necks and then fruits and vegetables are neck so you’re getting all the all these plants have fiber 50:35 and just keeping them about sodium you don’t have to worry about anything 50:41 like that in celery you don’t have to worry about any of those things and plants and you can use 50:46 them you can absolutely lose yeah i want you to eat like a gorilla 50:53 because look at those guys you see them they’re not even lifting weights they’re just eating their plants 51:00 i think celery is good for this kid it is so are all these plants they’re all 51:06 wonderful so keep eating more of whatever it is you love if it’s just potatoes you love right now and you want 51:11 to get through it keep going on those did you have a question plant glowing lady 51:17 i can’t buy chia and flax and hemp seeds in the fridge is that okay yeah you can keep them in 51:23 the fridge they last longer and freezer they last longer for sure everything i i cook also can be frozen 51:30 so people are like i need a meal prep and then you see like all these 32 ingredients and all the right you see 51:36 all this stuff meal prepping for us make your rice double it triple it if you’re 51:41 going to use the same amount of time the same amount of dishes the same amount of cleanup triple some of your recipes and 51:48 freeze it you won’t i mean look at tv dinners you get to see what you’re making here 51:54 you know great question on the celery i love it are you into celery 51:59 juice and stuff no just make sure i 52:10 like at least three weeks three weeks for a stalk i would eat in one day 52:22 my wife bought a case i don’t know if it’s called a box of celery because 52:27 yeah the idea to make celery juice and i said so listen how many stalks of celery are in a book that i don’t know 52:33 we had so much celery all the celery is juicing the celery juice and the celery freeze it i freeze 52:40 i couldn’t freeze it it didn’t fit it was during the winter we kept it in the garage 52:47 he froze a box of celery well we kept it in the garage but it’s cool it’s and then i it was getting convenient 52:54 for a week and then we had some quarts of celery 52:59 man i say drink all the plants eat all the plants a lot of people say but i’m drinking the celery juice 53:05 this is what’s helping and i say the celery juice isn’t the magic thing it’s all the plants there is no one super 53:11 food it’s with your super plate okay these things are the life savers up here i want you guys to put that apron on and 53:18 feel like you got a cape because it gives you super powers is what i feel like when i need my plants like that are 53:23 you guys plant-based you’re kind of glowing over there what are you thinking about this stuff 53:28 very very good very good right rice vinegar all the time yeah this stuff is 53:33 great on the leaves of things very good but you know like it’s just so tasty so 53:39 there’s actually something in vinegar dr grieger talks about if you’ve heard of ampk it causes ampk which is like a fat 53:46 burning process when you eat vinegar it’s a weight loss accelerant dr grieger 53:52 says the only other way to have ampk kick up is exercise so i don’t know 53:57 about you guys but i won’t do it here i’m not in my kitchen it does that but you’re getting it in 54:03 all your foods so like i said about some people thinking one super food one super look at you guys thank you thank you 54:10 thank you for this you drove me you two working for me 54:19 thank you you just want to teach people and be able to answer your questions for anything you have or obstacles so let me 54:26 have it what do you guys think i’m just here for quality control to make sure it tastes good wow you busted kale back 54:32 there i saw you like you just did it right 54:42 i am pretty calm right now any questions for you amazing people yes how about the salt should you 54:49 eliminate salt from your diet totally that would be the latter of my things 54:55 so we need some salt we need some sodium for healthy thyroid i’m actually seeing 55:00 a lot of thyroid problems nodules on thyroids i see does anybody know what that’s 55:05 caused from [Music] lack of iodine and guess what’s lacking 55:11 in iodine most of the diets of the standard american diet table salt table 55:16 salts and restaurants do not have iodine most of them do not have iodine pink himalayan salt kosher salts guess what 55:23 no iodine so we start morton salt is the reason why they started putting iodine back in and saw the rise of these 55:31 issues so do we need some salts eat more plants 55:36 see where you’re at depending on what kind of a chronic disease you’re dealing with yeah we get all that from plants so a 55:42 potato skin actually a regular potato skin contains 50 of the recommended 55:48 daily allowance of iodine and seaweed you know stuff like that so 55:55 also when you do transition or i say when you do transition you’ll 56:00 notice your taste buds will change significantly when you start cleaning it up so the salt that this guy put on 56:08 years ago [Music] i can’t believe what i would watch 56:13 okay it changes 56:19 yeah just i hope that helped answer you know what i mean if you need a little bit of salt 56:24 on your stuff sure then there’s no salt stuff you know this is what i mean there’s a lot of these amazing 56:30 plant-based doctors that are no saltiness sugar no oil and i love it and i agree with it 100 56:35 and depending on where you’re at with chronic disease is where i’m going to work with you when i’m here getting people really inspired it goes for the 56:42 least of the you know salt isn’t really what’s causing the heart disease or dementia it’s more so what you’re 56:50 putting the salt on this is a good way to look at it but that’s an awesome question i love when 56:56 people ask that any other questions yeah this isn’t a question i grew up in a household in which people salted their 57:03 food before they even tasted it right i mean i’d get mad you need to taste it 57:10 we learned a lot of unhealthy habits growing up we learned a lot about healthy habits 57:16 toronto and lifestyle medicine is all about undoing those unhealthy habits and 57:21 teaching you some new ones and that’s all you did here today was just learn some new healthier habits 57:27 you know i grew up eating the same way everybody else did you know people are alive and you know 57:33 we were all animal base eaters you know what i mean so i’m not better than anybody none of us are we just want 57:40 everybody to feel better than they do today that’s really what this is about 57:47 well i better talk because sally asked me to talk of course is 57:54 now she’s crying this is my cousin well no i had 58:01 met sally took a picture with her i decided i think i’m gonna try plants i 58:06 wasn’t feeling good i’m going to try it three years may 7th before that i think i met you in april 58:13 so we went to this plant class that she had out of the pens trafford which she goes well here we’ll take a picture because i 58:19 had found out i was no i wasn’t bloated but i was like this okay well when it was buy one get 58:26 one free big macs i ate them both i she laughs at me i worked at the lamplader on the way home four 58:32 cheeseburgers loved it gulped them just crazy so i ended up 58:39 having fluid in my abdomen and a doctor that just a ptp doctor 58:45 scanned through my stuff because i had like incontinence and she’s like well you had this sonogram on your 58:51 bladder three years ago what’d they say i’m like i don’t know normal and she said well i don’t consider that normal 58:58 you had fluid there thank god for her so when i met sally i told her they told me i had ovarian cancer so i 59:05 went to see sally and they said it has attached your belly lining blah blah 59:10 blah which not until i found out later coming to find out i had months okay 59:16 so i go to the human center i go down there all said none they suck out fluid said it’s been there in 10 years it’s 59:22 like lemon jello okay they’re laughing it’s been here 10 years and i’m like 59:27 no i have ovarian cancer yeah they’re laughing at me ended up being appendix cancer 59:33 what’s that you know so did they ask you about when you were eating no never 59:39 so it was a 12 hour surgery spleen gall bladder eight inches in my 59:44 colon ovaries fallopian tube appendix wow so he did burst 59:51 the whole thing -huh no iphone i was running around doing i don’t know he’s like i’ll wait 59:56 till may we’ll do it you know so it’s been three years so sally said come back 1:00:01 take a picture with me after the surgery we’ll go before the afternoon we were laughing and you know so i come up a mutual friend 1:00:07 you know somebody might know stephanie so so i started following stephanie because 1:00:13 i live with a guy that is grace grace and grace which he’s changing believe it 1:00:19 or not yes yes and he’s changing believe it or not i went out to see stephanie and he 1:00:26 intervenously did chocolate milk i mean not if it was low fat he wasn’t drinking he went on whole she’d been saying yes 1:00:33 you know i have saturday’s support groups yeah i should come in every single tears she’d be like my family’s not 1:00:38 supportive my husband is waving me in front of me and i kept staying joyce just take care of

didn’t want to go anywhere i was sick i couldn’t walk you know i it just never occurred to me that 1:11:20 i was going to get out from under a rock but when you get these fats and these foods into your brain it’s like it 1:11:26 actually causes something called neurogenesis which grows more brain cells when you’re eating plants 1:11:31 i don’t think i’d be here if it wasn’t for the plants i wasn’t an entrepreneur i wasn’t a ceo and i certainly didn’t 1:11:37 know how to run a non-profit i mean i’m learning as i go but it changed everything it changes your 1:11:43 whole outlook and i help people in 70s 80s 90s it’s never too late to start 1:11:48 feeling great that’s all i’m gonna say yeah joyce let me get these snaps off before you take the picture 1:11:55 you guys this is i apologize

believe it right i’ve been so busy like 1:12:44 yeah you’re doing this but that’s going to change 1:12:51 yeah we’re going to do it frozen in the stores we’re trying to get them in i’m working on plants and improve they got local restaurants putting plants for 1:12:58 each approved on the menus because people want the no oil and not these little salads you go to a restaurant vegan what do they come out with this 1:13:04 yes what is this i’m eating like a horse i said bring me some potatoes and all the vegetables you got yep 1:13:11 yeah and then my pants you know john i ate too much food

social media all i’m doing is telling everybody if there are plans i actually trademarked it 1:14:05 eat your plants off because i had to keep telling people you have to eat more plants to eat to get this to work you 1:14:12 know that’s how we get everything in so don’t be afraid and if you mess up eat double the vegetables 1:14:21 that’s next thing’s been going so fast i have this one little idea

yeah 2013. 1:14:39 something like that the inspiration yes so thank you
