“Mean is in all sincerity. You're changing people's lives by changing what they know and what they're trying out. And there are people who are going to be alive because of you. And I'm grateful to be able to play a part in that kind of work. But I'm also grateful to you for using your podium that you have to share that with other people.”

“Well, I would tell my younger self-fank the same thing that I would tell my older self, which is to Be grateful for the things that we have and that we have learned. And I would share that with you. You could do anything that you want to. You could have any kind of guest on your show that you want to. But what you're doing is you're taking information. You're asking terrific questions and talking about important things in a way that is going to get people talking and thinking and trying new things and learning things and maybe disagreeing or agreeing or whatever, but you're starting a discussion that goes around the dinner table and it affects the next generation too. You will never know how many lives you save.”

“So if a person's well, I don't really want to make big changes, I'm going to say, let's make some huge changes right now because if we can get cured of this in the next six or eight or ten weeks, that's good to know. So let's say you're not in that situation, but you've got weight you'd like to lose. You'd like to feel better. Let's make some big changes now. Let's do a little bit of boot camp. Let's see the foods that love you back. Let's put those power foods into your diet and see what they'll do for you. And then after you've had a chance to experience it, then it's up to you. You use it as much or as little as you want to. And for most people, they just view the world differently ever after.”

“You're putting on a deodorant that's got aluminum as one of the antiperspirant ingredients in it. Some of them have that. A lot of them have that. It goes through the skin and you're getting this neurotoxin, which is in your body. So while the research is continuing, my advice is steer clear of the aluminum completely and be careful about the iron and copper. You put this together, your body can be as healthy as nature wanted it to be.”

“Added to clear the water, and you have to then carefully extract them. And if you don't extract it, you get aluminum out of your tap. And the counties with the most aluminum in their drinking water had 50% higher risk of Alzheimer's. So researchers have looked at that. And there are plenty of neurologists who think it's just a fluke, except that you do see it. Some frequency Reason we think it's not a fluke is that aluminum is a neurotoxin. And we learned that from industrial accidents where aluminum compounds are suddenly inhaled by everybody. It's without question a neurotoxin. And secondly, there is zero use for aluminum in human physiology. You don't need it. So if you're taking an anti acid that's made with aluminum,”

“Let me absorb less iron now. If you're low in iron, your body can take that non heme iron and absorb more. It's the form your body can regulate. But if like me, you grew up in North Dakota and you're eating a lot of beef, there's a lot of iron in it, and your body cannot regulate the heme iron. It just comes into your system and you end up buy and overload it. So iron is the first one. And the solution is avoid animal products. If you want to be clever, you can go donate blood and you can give your iron to somebody else. It works. Copper. Copper pipes. You have copper pipes in your house and all night long the water sits in them and then you fill your coffee maker in the morning. You're getting a big load of copper. The aluminum is quite a story though. In England, researchers looked at different counties where there was more aluminum in the drinking water. It's not in the well and it's not in the river. It's used in the purification process, the aluminum compounds.”

“There are three metals we're concerned about iron, copper, and aluminum. There may be others too, but those are the biggies. Iron is something that your body needs. Your body makes hemoglobin with iron. And you need that to carry oxygen. That's what makes your blood red. However, your body only needs a certain amount. And if you get too much, it can damage the heart and can damage the brain. It's easy to get too much. Our bodies are built for plant foods, and plant foods have what's called non-heme iron. And the beauty of this form of iron is if you're already iron overloaded, your body says, I got it.”

“Who knows? People have wanted to say coffee is a healthy thing. And in fact, there have been studies that show that people who drink more coffee are at less risk of Alzheimer's disease. Now, the problem is it had to be a lot of coffee. It had to be five cups a day or even more. And there are other studies that do counteract that. I'm inclined to think that maybe the biggest consideration is what goes into your coffee. So if what's going into your coffee is some creamer and a whole bunch of sugar that's really not so healthy for you, maybe that's not the best choice.”

“There's vitamin E in those, but there's a bunch more in the vegetables as well. There's fiber and there's many other vegetables, B vitamins as well. And I got to say, to be in the high vegetable group in the United States, even having one or two vegetables per day is pretty great, except for unfortunately the only vegetable a lot of Americans eat is French fries or potato chips or something like that. So bringing the vegetables in a big way.”

“And I think the numbers are better than that, to tell you the honest truth. If you combine a healthy diet, which means getting away from the saturated fat, which is the dairy and the meat, and having the vitamin E rich foods, like some nuts and some seeds, which are healthy vitamin E rich foods, not pills, you get it from the foods themselves. Avoid the metals, lace up your sneakers, and if you can get a good night's sleep, I would suggest that we could probably cut Alzheimer's risk by 80%. It needs to be proved. We need to prove it in research studies. But there is no reason to wait. You don't want to be in the control group that is doing nothing to see what happens to your brain.”

“Make it simple if the more you're moving, the more your heart is pumping. It's doing that to get oxygen into your muscles. That's its job. But what is it doing in the process? It's sending the blood up to your brain and the blood is coming out of your brain, carrying things away. So the more active we are, the better off we're going to be.”

“Your brain has to anticipate where your foot is going to go, where the pavement is, to keep you from falling down. And you're not just running along. Your brain is automatically tracking where you're going. It's keeping you from falling over. It's regulating your balance. That is a big job. It's not just muscles. Exercise involves a brain in a huge way. And that is great to feed your brain with physical exercise, with things that allow your vestibular system to work. That means anything that is involved with turning and movement. All that is great for the brain.”

“We need more research on all those areas, but I am inclined to think that the more we use it, the less we lose it. So if we use our brain and not just reading, thinking vocabulary things are good in Canada, researchers discovered, you know, some people speak English in Canada, some people speak French, some people speak both. Some people have three languages or four languages. The more languages people speak, the more delayed is any kind of cognitive decline. So what we believe is that it may well be that using the neurons keeps them active, but we're not just using our brains to remember words and”

“Would see several things. You would see plaque. Between the neurons, between the brain cells are what we call beta amyloid. And it's these proteins that the brain cells make. And it's still controversial what it's doing there, but most people believe it's part of the disease process. And there are malignant proteins called Tau proteins that are in the neurons there. They're there. We've known they've been there for a long period of time. But it's worse than that. The brain itself. At 100 feet, you could see the difference. If you could look at that scan, a healthy brain stays big and vibrant. The Alzheimer's brain is visibly shrinking and deteriorating. And that person is not going to come back from that.”

“The weaker that disc gets. And it's like a pillow where the outer covering of the pillow degenerates and the stuffing comes out, pushes on a nerve, and you got pain all the way down your leg. And you thought, well, that was because I'm in stress and I'm strained. I was in an accident. Yeah, those are all precipitating factors. But you were set up for it because your body cannot heal anymore. So you got no blood supply anymore. So clean diet can help protect against those things.”

“Many kids have already lost one of their lumbar arteries. What this means is your heart gives off the aorta, the huge mainline that goes up and then it does a U-turn, goes right down in front of your spine. And it gives blood to each vertebral segment. And the very first place where those atherosclerotic lesions form and pave off those little bifurcating arteries, the little side arteries that are going to help your lumbar spine. The very first place where atherosclerosis occurs in a big way is in this lumbar spine. So you'll see a guy, 18, 19, has completely lost the blood supply to one part of the lower back. Now, there are collaterals, but eventually he's going to get lower back pain because the discs between the vertebrae, they don't get any blood supply at all. They get oxygen by diffusion from the vertebrae. And the more you cut off the blood supply,”

“You know, when I'm done with medical school, I'll quit at that point. Nowadays medical students wouldn't do this. We smoked the cigarettes we bought in the hospital gift shop. Yeah, our patients could smoke in bed as long as there wasn't oxygen flowing. But anyway, let's face it. Young people take any risk that they can. But what really got our attention was studies showing that if you look at the tragic cases where teenagers are killed in an accident or killed in wartime and you look at autopsies, what you see is atherosclerosis, that the hardy of the arteries has already begun and it's been working through their teens by about age 18 or 19.”

“Yeah, you can. This is the terrible thing, is that we do know that if you catch dementing processes early, reversal is possible. You see that not only with paper and pencil testing, their memory is getting better, but you can see it on the brain scan where the hippocampus is the reversal process is turning around. But there is a point where the brain cells themselves are dying. It's like a shriveled cauliflower. And there was a time where that memory is just not going to come back. And so we want to prevent it. We want to prevent it starting now. And Kaiser Permanente, researchers did a study. They brought in almost 10,000 people and they tracked their cholesterol levels and found that if you got a high cholesterol level, it's not just bad for your heart. It's bad for the brain.”

“Not all cases, exactly, but 90% of people on statins don't need them or wouldn't need them If they followed a healthy diet. The reason they have a high cholesterol is that they are eating products that cause their body to make more cholesterol. And those are animal-derived products.”

“Rapid change in mental status. You got to walk in the bathroom, open up the medicine cabinet, and see what's new. Because we have seen so many medications that are causing brain effects we never expected. One of the most surprising was statins. We have seen hundreds and hundreds of cases of individuals. By now it's thousands of individuals where you're having memory problems, sometimes severe, from statin drugs. Don't get me wrong, statins effectively lower cholesterol for some people that has a life-saving effect. But that and many other medications are going to affect the memory in some ways that can be so severe that when we take that medication away and let your body reheal, you can pack your bags and get out of that nursing home and go back home.”

“Later on in the night the brain does what's called REM sleep, rapid eye movement, you're dreaming. And now you're integrating physical skills, like playing the violin or tennis or anything physical and also emotions. So if you are not sleeping, what's happening? You're going to have crummy memory. Anybody can test this themselves. Just look at a time when you're asleep deprived. You discover your memory is shot after about three, four days, and your emotional control is much worse. Get a good night's sleep after a few days, you'll get right back together. So we've talked about avoiding saturated fat. You want to avoid the excess metals. You need to exercise. You need to stop and sleep. But there's a fifth thing. Somebody has any.”

“And researchers at the University of Illinois brought in 120 people, older folks who were not exercising. And what they asked them to do. a ten minute walk, a brisk walk. Now brisk means I'm breathing a little faster than I was before, but not so fast that I can't speak. And ten minutes, three times a week. Then the next week, fifteen minutes. Then the next week, 20 minutes. And when they got up to 40 minutes, three times a week, they stayed at that level. And what they showed is that the hippocampus, which had been the seat of memory in the brain, which had been shrinking, started to reverse that process. And you could see a measurable reversal of that brain shrinkage. Number four You have to stop.”

“Things you need to do to protect your brain if you're not doing them, you're playing with fire. Number one, get away from the meat and the dairy products because they are pushing the saturated fat into your diet. And there are others too, like coconut oil and palm oil. They're marketed as healthy, but they are as bad as butter. Number two, there are metals in your diet. You're not aware that they're there, but iron, copper, these are things you need a tiny bit of. You don't need the overload that comes in liver and in steak. Aluminum is a metal that you don't need any of at all, but it's an added ingredient in all kinds of foods, as well as in medications. Number three, you need to exercise. Glace up your sneakers. You are great with this. You are a role model. People should do what you do.”

“Exactly. So you do structured tests where you look to see can you recall words? Can you Draw a face or a clock and put things in the proper perspective. And there are a number of other tests. And those people who stayed mentally clear tended to be the ones who tended to avoid saturated fat. And a specific number was about a two-thirds reduction in the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in those individuals who are very low in saturated fat. What saturated fat? That's the solid fat that is in dairy number one, meat number two. That alone was amazing in the journal Neurology and other journals. These studies started coming out and we thought, let me make the clock go backward because I want to tell my father. My dad grew up in a cattle ranch. We ate like we were in the cattle industry all my life.

“However, the way the answer to this is to use, to do a randomized trial. Because when you bring in people who are already reading a junk food diet and then you can randomly assign some people to a control group and others to a specific dietary intervention, then you're taking people who have been eating the same kind of diet, but what you're changing is the foods that they're eating. And let me be clear. Getting away from animal products is always a good idea. However, When you pick and choose what's left, there's a big difference between a bowl of blueberries and a plate of chips. So what we want to, it's always a good idea to go away for the animal products, but we want to bring in the best of what's left. And if we choose the foods the right way, we can knock off that weight we've wanted to knock off and we can really reclaim our health in a good way.”

And so they're using a plant-based diet for the kid because they think it's the best thing.”

“We have evidence that they should. Because, first of all, in the Adventist Health Study, too, they brought in 60,000 people and they showed that the people with the most hypothyroidism, the people in whom it was most common, were the big dairy consumers. In fact, vegetarians who were eating lots and lots of milk and cheese. The dairy protein, we believe, is the trigger for this. The people who had the least hypothyroidism are the vegans. When it came to hyperthyroidism, The same thing happens, but the physiology is a little different. Your antibodies are now attacking the turnoff switch. So the thyroid can't turn off. You can't regulate it anymore, and you're cranking out too much. They are the people who have the most risk, are the meat eaters, omnivores, people eating a lot of meat, a lot of dairy.

“Body makes antibodies to kill bacteria or to kill viruses. Your white blood cells make these antibodies which are protein torpedoes that find that virus and knock it out. But for some reason, your white blood cells will make antibodies that attack you. And they attack your thyroid gland, and they stop it from working. And autoimmune conditions are, there are many of them, rheumatoid arthritis, is antibodies are attacking the lining of your joints. And what we believe is happening is that something entered your body and triggered that antibody release and that something could be a dietary protein like dairy proteins or meat. Now no one has ever done a study to this point to see if a plant-based diet could reverse hypothyroidism.”

“Exactly. It's not making enough. And there are two reasons for it. The first reason is that you can't make one molecule of thyroid hormone if you don't have iodine in your diet. And iodine is an element that's in the earth, it's in seaweeds, it's in a number of things like that, but you may not be consuming it. Now, luckily there is iodide added to salt. So your average person in a most countries gets iodine in that from that source and people who live in Japan and countries where they see vegetables a lot get huge amounts of iodine. But if you're low in iodine, you can't make thyroid hormone. The bigger reason, though. Here in the US, is antibodies that you're”

All of these things can ultimately be fatal if they're in too high an amount or too low of an amount. The thyroid is this little Clark Kent at the base of your neck. Um... You can barely feel that it's there. But the thyroid gland makes thyroid hormone, which gives you energy. And if it's not working, you know it. You get out of bed in the morning, you look in the mirror, and you see, I just don't look right. My energy's not good. There's something wrong with my hair. My skin doesn't feel right.

“I don't have much fiber in my diet. Let's say that I'm eating cheese and I'm eating a lot of meat. These don't have fiber at all. Then in that case, the estrogens go down the intestinal tract. And before they can be excreted, they're reabsorbed through the intestinal wall back into the blood. Doctors call this enterohepatic circulation. And so that very same estrogen molecule that your liver spotted and it removed it and it sent it down into your intestinal tract, thinking it was getting rid of it. It went through the intestinal wall back into the blood and ended up at the liver.”

“Okay, your liver every minute of every day, even while you're asleep, is filtering your blood. One of the things that filters out is anything that shouldn't be there, a toxin or even a medication. Your liver says, I'm not sure we want this in your blood. It'll try to remove it. And excess estrogens are also removed. When they're removed by the liver cells, they're sent through into the intestinal tract. Your liver through the bile duct sends unwanted estrogens, excess estrogens, down into the intestinal tract, and they go out into the toilet. Let's say”

“We would have to think so because all of these things sort of go in the same direction. A plant based diet tends to get your hormones in a better way.”

“Sugar is lactose. And it's famous because a lot of people don't digest lactose very well. But the ones who don't digest it are the lucky ones because you're not going to consume it. The unlucky ones are people who can digest lactose and it breaks into two sugars. The lactose sugar has glucose and galactose attached together. And when it breaks apart that galactose, we believe is toxic to the ovary. That's a theory, but there's evidence to suggest that it's true. And our concern is not just that it interferes with fertility, but that it's also associated with ovarian cancer. So stay tuned.”

“The more body fat that you have, the more a man's body will take the testosterone and convert it to estrogen. So you're losing testosterone, gaining estrogen, which is the last thing that you want. But there's another part of the fertility issue, and that's dairy products. And researchers have been looking at this for a long period of time. There has been concern that dairy products interfere with fertility, both for men and for women. And Dan Kramer at Harvard University was really a proponent of this. Looking at different countries and countries where dairy was just not their thing, a lot of countries, particularly in Asia, where dairy just isn't a thing. And there are others where it's everyday food. And you can see fertility tracking inversely with dairy consumption. There was something about dairy that was getting in the way. And what his theory was that it's not in this case the dairy fat. He believed and wrote that it might be the dairy sugar because the dairy sugar”

“Well, for men, we don't see quite so much the sweet spot, although what we do see is that if a man acquires more body fat, what's going to happen is he's making more estrogen and losing his testosterone.”

“Have kids, there are certain things that are good to know about. And one is that excess body weight interferes. No big surprise. When women are carrying more body weight, it's a hormone-producing organ. Body fat is not just jello in a bag. Body fat, each fat cell is metabolically active, creating estrogens that are causing your body to be in an abnormal state. The sweet spot for fertility is if you measure your BMI, your body mass index. And if people have never done it, you just go online and you can look up BMI calculator you put in your height and your weight. And what it'll say is that a healthy BMI is between 18 and a half and 25, over 25 is overweight. But within that huge broad fork, the sweet spot for fertility is around 19 or 20. So it's not just within the healthy range, but within kind of the skinny side of the healthy range.”

“We are. I mean, fertility is threatened and it's. See more infertility now than you've probably ever seen. Now let me say that I'm not cheerleading for increasing human fertility. We've got more than enough of it. And I think people shouldn't feel pressured to jump into it if it's not their thing. However, for women and men who want to”

“Thyroid function where a person's hypo or hyperthyroid. All of these things have food connections. We need more research. Not everything is known, but there is more than enough known now that people should be able to put it to work for themselves.”

“Nothing No symptoms whatsoever. This is miraculous. This hasn't happened to me ever. And she was cured as long as she stuck with it. But then she would kind of loosen up her diet. And then the pain came roaring back. So we then did a randomized trial, which we published in the Journal Obstetrics and Gynecology with our partners at Georgetown University's Department of OBGYN. And it was randomized. It was the diet versus a supplement that was actually a placebo. And it works. And the diet reduced the duration of pain, the intensity of the pain, as well as PMS symptoms like bloating and water retention and moodiness, all these things got better. Now, there's some variability for some women, it's just cure. For others, the effect is more mild. But then we started to realize, wait a minute, how about menopause where women has hot flashes that are driving her crazy? You can change that whole scenario dramatically with food and things like.”
