LEARN ABOUT VEGANISM

For a doctor to admit he was wrong and aiming for more knowledge, is a gift to society 🥰 This guy will help save our world.

[Growyourheirlooms]

I've been plant based for over a year now. And at 55 I feel better and am healthier than I was when I was in my 20's

[jesse]

Dam! That’s a big bowl of salad in the background.

[SachinM]

It takes a lot to admit that you were wrong. Mad respect to this doctor!

[rjahn]

YES! going on 5 months with a fully compliant whole foods plant based diet. My Cholesterol went from 225 to 120! I have lost 65 Lbs.. Very little exercise just walking a few times a week.

[rubyoppenheimer]

The YouTube algorithm really wants me to go vegan.

[robertotambolini]

started vegan 2 weeks ago 235 pounds already lost 8 pounds. Feel so good with alot of energy will be my lifestyle from now on. Depression is gone.

I met him recently and am so grateful he is out spreading the good information along with all the other doctors he mentioned. I am a nurse and I quit working for the VA because it didn’t make sense to me that my patients would come in with bags of medications and just seemed fatter and sicker and more inflamed. Nutrition in the most basic sense was rarely discussed. Unbelievable that doctors or nurses are not taught about the healing properties of nutrition. That’s big pharma.

[APBCTechnique]

Your grandma will know more about nutrition than most MD’s.

[juni_purr]

I've had experience with several diets: macrobiotic, lacto vegetarian, paleo. All were beneficial. What they have in common is reliance on whole, unprocessed foods and avoidance of sugar. To me that's key.

[LuckyFerals]

And that is why I tell people that you can't believe everything a doctor or vet tells you. Just because someone is a doctor does not mean they know truth or are properly educated. Thank you for your testimony.

[shohremansouri]

You are amazing. Brave enough to confess that you were wrong professionally. Awesome! Not everyone can do that.

[Magnulus]

I'm not on this exact type of diet (I still eat some dairy and eggs), but watching Dr John. McDougall has inspired me to try eating more fresh fruits, something I believed for years was "too much sugar". The result has been that I've finally managed to lose over 10 lbs and am no longer overweight.

[drdluv]

I absolutely love how he went from zero nutritional training to spreading a plant based diet to all of the world for the rest of his life

[DogDog]

Went from plant-based to low-carb. This did wonders to me. Do whatever feels good for your health

[dottiea.]

I've been plant based user for 40 years, it's the best for me..everyone is different, but 💪 works... I'm 60 now!🤗👍💕🍄🍄🥦🥒🥬🌽🫑🍒🥜🧅

[kea]

You are an MD and have humility! I'm impressed with you. Thanks for the video.

[DLM]

I totally get this. Plant-based worked so much better than me than Keto in so many ways. I’m not saying Keto is wrong, as everyone is different, but it worked for me. I have autoimmune disease and finally feel healthier and more energetic. I love that this doctor is always trying to learn and better his practice.

[allenmiller]

When your overweight and eating the SAD menu, both keto and vegan diets will improve your health. Vegan does not have a monopoly on improving your health coming off the SAD diet.

Everytime I watch one of these, I'm left realising - the truth and answers are all there - we just need to help spread the message.
