One day I’d like to meet you dr Greger to thank you in person for saving my life. Thanks to your advice I lost 112 pounds and have never been healthier, I’m the person I always wanted to be but never believed I could be. Thank you 🙏

[ValeriyaVandermark]

May everyone find something in life that they feel as passionate about as Dr Greger does about nutrition 😊

Immediatly fired my dietician after reading your books, she said there was no way I could lose weight eating beans, more than 2 portions of fruit, whole grains and without meat, she basically starved me into a keto diet and protein suplements without telling the actual truth, maybe she didnt know or maybe she preferred the bigger commision from the "healthy snack and protein" company that sponsored her

Took me 2 hours to watch this, I took down notes and sent my wife messages of things we have to adjust on our Vegan diet. Thanks Dr. Greger, we'll purchase your book and read more !

[Bookish_Lattes]

I have lost 70 lbs so far since turning vegan and 42 lbs of that from when I switched to wfpb 5months ago. I have also put my type 2 diabetes into remission. All that and no dieting. I love this lifestyle, eat when I want and feel GREAT! with a new found respect for food and my health.

​Hi all! Thank you for watching. I see some questions about this - this is the premiere of Dr. Greger's newest presentation, which he delivered live, but this is a recording. -Kate, NF Team

[lajovette]

thank you dr.greger for that video, you're so generous. Just know that some months ago you saved my life, sir. The emergency at our hospital in town didn't wanted to let me go 'cause they though I was danger of dying that day..I went my way and told them I'm going but I'll comeback in a year and you won't recognize me. On the 6th of january of 2020 they won't recognize me i would be down at 120 pounds lost. I went from a bad habit eater to a healthy vegan, excercising each day with the same passion as i did on that day of january when i decided to gave me another chance at life 💖

We need more Dr. Gregers in the world!

Super fabulous. Plant-based whole food for nine months now, 50 pounds less and killing it in the gym. At 65, I look better than I did when I was 30. Your How Not to Die lectures sure set me straight with both heart disease and cancer in my family. I shared with many and they are now vegan. I'm sharing this with friends and relatives who need to get their diet together before it's too late. Thanks again. Thanks for improving my life so much!!!

[PapaGDazzle]

I've never encountered a person who could present useful scientific data in such an easy to digest manner. Interesting, useful, entertaining and lifesaving are all words I can use to describe Dr. Greger's presentations. March on sir, march on.

[nikolay.advolodkin]

You are a phenomenal human being. Thanks so much for everything that you do! The world is way better with you in it Dr Greger.

[amandamovio]

This man is a God Send!!!!

I've been following a whole-food, plant-based diet for nearly 5 years, I'm now studying to become a Registered Holistic Nutritionist to guide people to this beautiful, quality life, and I will never go back. This lifestyle has changed my reality and I am so grateful to so many educators who are filled with passion for spreading this priceless information. Thank you one million times over!

[rosiejean]

Thank you for your drive and passion. You are America's Doctor!! I've lost 30 pounds and all my ailments are gone, yes I said GONE! Joint pain, RLS, migraines, digestive problems, fibromyalgia, stress, hair loss, hormone thing I ever did for myself was going whole food plant based. You've been my guiding light, thank you Dr. Greger.

[jonny]

I'm a healthy weight, been vegan for years, when I first went vegan I couldn't believe how much better I felt already. After recently finding your work and improving the foundations of my diet I am gobsmacked by how much you've improved my physical and mental state with little effort. Starting every morning with a bowl of oats, banana, nuts, seeds, berries and flaxseed has changed my entire approach to food throughout the day. I literally don't crave snacks or feel hungry until at least lunch, giving me time and energy to prepare another nutritious meal, accumulating even more benefits!

[alohafromhh]

Thank you Dr Greger! I was vegan for 20 years and had tons of health issues (due to years of childhood trauma and low omega 3, high oxalate, high omega 6 as well as low K2/D3, low B12). Better educated now, thanks to you back to vegan in a healthier way, and doing much better. You are a true hero. Thank you!!

[lauraholt]

Awesome presentation! Dr. G and his book How Not to Die is the reason I returned to veganism after being seduced into the high-fat, low-carb paleo diet. I got fat and sick on paleo, gaining 50 pounds. I lost it all in less than a year eating WFPB and am in the best shape of my life at 38. I have the new book preordered, can't wait to read it!!

Black cumin is readily available at your local Indian grocery. Just ask for kalonji.
