are like 84 to 86 you know even most people in the blue zones don't even average 90 in my practice over the last 35 years most of the people that adopted a nutritarian diet who were very old have been have been living past 95 wow even you know even people had heart disease in their younger life so you know I think that I'm saying that imagine if he lived healthy from a young age why shouldn't you push 95 I'm saying 97 to 107 is more like 5 to 105 and we could narrow the bell-shaped curve
what I mean by that is that you know how we have such a wide Bell some people die 60 some people live to be 95 but it's scattered all over the place there such a lot of luck with you luck whether you're going to survive or get cancer or get a a stroke or whether it's all over the place you said luck this a crapshoot but the deer in the woods doesn't have a crapshoot they all live within a few years of each other you know what I mean and when you when humans lived consistently
healthfully we shouldn't have such a wide Bell we should all be living in genetics would play a much smaller role we should all be living passing 95 my mother who didn't even eat healthy most of her life just now she's here at the retreat of course eating healthfully but she's um self you know she's taking care of herself drives does everything and she's over 95 now W you know imagine if she really took care of herself I mean she she didn't but I had an influence on her on her obviously and more as she got
older but at least that but in any case um even those who don't even take good care of themselves when they're young the body is so resilient and we're such a miraculous self-healing machine that changing to a super healthy diet later on still can have Su surprisingly effective effects in extending human lifespan and even any cancer so I'm um I'm not saying that you it's 100% um you know guarantee but I'm saying that we literally can wipe out and then by the way the leading cause of death in the United States and adults people know
is heart attacks and strokes and we could wipe out certainly you know 90 probably 8% of that heart attacks and strokes we that's just easy to wipe out even if you do even if dietary changes done after the age of 60 still could wipe out heart attack Strokes St so so we really have tremendous power with this lifestyle medicine thing with this nutritionally Excellence thing what I call a nutritarian diet of it's really a diet of nutritional Excellence designed to idealize human nutrition and I'm saying here that the ideal diet to promote longevity and prevent
disease is also therapeutically effective to reverse disease so people's chest pains go away their diabetes goes away their high blood pressure goes away their psoriasis goes away their lupus goes away their asthma goes away their their headaches go away they get better because they eat so healthfully yeah I have a person here now who psoriasis is melting away but so many people recovered from asthma and about 75% of out of the people that come to my retreater I've been noticing that 75% of them get rid of their type two diabetes within six weeks and about
90% within six months yeah so it really and then blood pressure too they're off their blood pressure medications like 75% within six weeks it doesn't take that long they've been eating Health unhealthy for decades and all of a sudden they eat healthy for a couple of months and they don't have hypol diabetes anymore towards the end of this video is the doctor's amazingly easy to apply some cell regeneration tip now let's listen to the doctor's response to a question about the importance of raw foods numerous reasons number one is that lettuce is the richest source
of sulfoquinovose which is the primary fuel for the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut that make that thicken your bofilm with healthy gr positives number one lettuce also was low in oxalic acid which all the calcium and magnesium and the minerals become readily absorbable as compared to spinning which is high in minerals but has a lot of phytic acid which and oxalic acid which doesn't allow them to be absorbed as readily MH the other issue is in raw foods is that raw onion has an enzyme called alenas which forms more Organo sulfide compounds when
you chew it raw or eat it just partially cooked because the alanas enzyme gets deactivated you know when you cut an onion it makes your eyes tear forming sulfenic acid well that formation of the sulfenic acid is also forming major powerful anti-inflammatory and and endothelial favorable compounds the same thing with a myos enzyme in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli or kale or collards or bokchoy and a rugal you put a little rugal on your salad a little cabbage on your salad and chew it really well then the enzymes are fully intact and you form as you
chew and crush the cell wall you form the chemical reaction in your mouth to form the itcs the isothiocyanates with such a powerful effect in preventing cancer that activate the Nrf2 transcription proteins that stabilize DNA and repair cellular Machinery so we're talking here about um we are dependent on these green level these green vegetable derived nutrients and our immune system is heightened degree of protection when we get exposure to them and if you cook some of these Foods a little bit like cabbage or broccoli where you heat it a little bit you still get the
benefit it's just when you start to cook it too much that you can start to deactivate all those enzymes and also chewing the raw vegetables in your mouth um with the saliva and with the bacteria between the teeth you also form more nitric oxide and other beneficial anti-inflammatory compounds as well so there's a lot of different reasons we can keep going into but it's better to have this mix of raw and cooked and and even the cooked should be mostly water-based cooking methods like walking or blanching or steaming and not things that are overcooked not
bar barbecuing and heavily baking and Browning and darkening and blackening foods and making them crispy and hard and you know it should be things that are moist where it doesn't damage the food and for a lot of these um nutrients if you half cook it it's still very bad you still get a lot of the nutrients you would get see broccoli is overcooked you don't get much nutrients you lose some nutrients raw you get a good nutrient but if you just half cook it like walk it so it's like half cooked you get a tremendous
amount of nutrient absorb from partially cooked so that's also very good to be partially cooked listen to Dr fman get excited about some of the foods in a nutritarian diet I made a healthy Fig Newton it was like made of fresh figs to my garden we made banana ice cream with you know made with fresh bananas and macadamia nuts and vanilla bean powder and a little splash of plant milk was like melted in your mouth and without that heavy degree of sweetness and the chemical taste you get from regular ice cream you know what I'm
saying is we make a thae curry sauce make a we're making food tastes delicious we're not giving up anything with discipline we're just smart it's just know smart nutrition and you enjoy the food more not less because now our intellectual self is comfortable with our emotional self so we're getting pleasure and we're feeling good about ourselves and we're intellectually satisfied and we're feeling that we're health and we're feeling better too we're sleeping better you know if I go eat on something unhealthy I'm up half the night drinking water all night long and running to the
bathroom the whole I can't even sleep when I get unhealthy and my stomach's you know I eat I feel better and like you said you have energy you could and you you gives you emotional and physical well feeling of physical well-being too steamed broccoli with roasted garlic and just a little touch of spray of olive oil when it's cooked it gets like it's like melts in your mouth like a and then one my favorite foods is artichokes like steamed artichoke quarts just plain with nothing on it you know it's like wow this was like it's
like a delicacy of the G much better than eating like escargo or caviar have a steamed Artio card it's the greatest thing people don't even know how good natural and what about a fresh fig that you picked off your own tree that ripened on the tree or fresh you know growing some of your own food like tomatoes and you know what a a dry Farm tomato is where you don't water the plant in the last month before you pick it as the tomatoes ripen you purposely don't water to increase the sweetness of the Tomato but
the point I'm making is we making there's so many incredibly delicious natural foods that you that that are just um delightful it's even more um emotionally satisfying when you grow some of it yourself you know and you made it you made yourself their own food what do you say to people who tell you that they don't want to give up the enjoyment of eating we're not giving up enjoyment of eating the whole thing is ridiculous as these people think that oh I couldn't do that and I I don't I'd rather be dead if I had
to eat carrot sticks and celery you know it's just their food addiction talking They Don't Really they don't just they don't know enough yet even the taste buds get stronger when your health gets better and you stop um over you know over stimulating the Bliss point with so much sugar and salt and spice and you your taste buds improveed so that what you're eating you adapt to what you're eating you like it better coming up shortly is the doctor's incredible stem cells regeneration tip now here's how Dr foran responds when asked for tips on how
to persuade people to adopt a nutritarian diet my tip is that you can't persuade them in a short period of time in a medical visit it's too short a period of time they need a lot of education and as a medical doctor I think most and I I and I advise doctors who practice lifestyle medicine and nutritional practice that they when people join their medical practice they should insist they come to group visits to be part of the practice they have to attend group visits at least once or twice a month and they and where
the doctor is talking to the group for an hour an hour and a half and the do and the patient pays the Cod poay for the group visit you Bill out it's legal it's it's a legitimate billing expense for a group visit the doctor gets paid MH and and the the chronicity of the education over and over again and reviewing the studies and the findings and the risk of death then people will eventually make the change but you can't course a 15minute medical visit make a few suggestions and expect people to change yeah people a
tremendous amount of information here is how the doctor prods other doctors to move to a nutritarian and of course obviously you know I say to people I'm speaking to a group of 500 to a th000 medical doctors in an auditorium and I'll say to them raise your hand if you've been struck by a bullet or stabbed by a knife or anybody in your family has had that happened too and like one person will raise their hand and they'll say Okay raise your hand if you had a heart attack or a stroke or a cancer diagnosis
in your family MH and everybody's hand goes up mhm and I say and you do you want to stay living in that dangerous neighborhood why would you still live and under the risk that everybody else has when you seeing it's the prevalence of risk is so high then why wouldn't you do something to mitigate that risk it's insane and it shows the power of food addiction and that you are not in control of your life your food is controlling you you've lost the keys to the bank and you've lost the ability of your brain to
make the right decisions in your own behalf M why would a person put self-destructive substances in their mouth they're the person controlling their health Destiny so we so we train people and I'm make I'm saying with enough information and with the right type of motivational information and scientific information and training on mindfulness and and how to be and happiness training how to be happy then people can succeed and they do want to make the change it takes a tremendous amount of point of contact with individuals to un able to change their fixed and addictive mindset
to want to make that change that's why people come into my retreat for like two or three months and we make it so the time they leave here they can go back in the real world and and be happy and consistent with staying with the program and continuing with the benefits where they on their own they couldn't do it or a week going away to a week getaway they can't do it either it's not enough time for the for the brain to re reset itself so I'm not saying everybody has to come to my retreat
they could instead read books watch videos join member centers you know do you know join like my Member Center were supporting each other like you're doing people could you know listen to your podcast videos they can get more information they could work but they have to work for that they have to put effort into it so first we have to convince them that this effort is worth worth it Dr Foreman's final response about getting people to change to a nutritarian diet um yes I mean we have to deal with a person on multiple levels and
people don't really um are not going to accept your desire to be useful to them and change their behavior if they don't feel you care about them and are interested in them as a person so if you show a person love and care and unconditional love there if somebody's you know is is some friend of yours or some family members they're not going to listen to you tell them how to live and eat unless they're first convinced you really care about them then they'll be more likely to listen they know what's coming from your heart
of Good Will so that has to be established first of all and what I'm saying here is that when people can't they don't succeed on a healthy diet because it makes them feel socially uncomfortable because they're so used to getting their self-esteem externally generated self-esteem which is like junk food you want other people to approve of you want other people to like you it's like posting on Instagram how how you look how much money you make your your fancy clothing your whatever whatever it is you want you're trying to impress on people and you just
want people to be you just want to be liked and when you eat differently than other people they're going to make you feel uncomfortable and you're going to feel like you're losing their approval and that loss of approv approval and social connect loss of social connection is going to interfere with your ability to stay taking good care of your health MH so we have we try to build people of a healthier outlook on life by building internally generate self-esteem not dependent on externally generate self-esteem so they feel good about themselves because when the person says
to them oh well if I to eat that way I rather be dead who wants to live on celery the rest of your life then or says anything to you that could be somewhat interpreted as being argumentative accusatory nasty or anything we're no longer trying to protect our ego or or defend ourself we're just thinking this is an opportunity for me to have creative Goodwill for this person to use my intelligence and creativity to see if I can have a good effect in their life and the chance of having a good effect in their life
maybe one in a 100 but the fact that you attempted to do that is how you build internally generated self-esteem because we appreciate the world outside ourselves we have more gratitude we have more respect and appreciation for nature and for and and our connection for other people and our and our and our Legacy to have a good effect on others and therefore if if we're not dependent if a person is liking us or we don't have to impress them by eating the by drinking socially or by eating their cheesecake that they made for us on
our birthday you know we could show them we care about them in different ways than just trying to self-destruct our own habit our own life in order to impress another person our behavior is not needed to impress another person that's let's so that type of um Mo we have a different type of mindfulness we're mindfully respectful of the Bea the nature and Beauty in Natural Foods almost as if we can see into the foods with the structure and function and how our relationship to that food are dependent on each other so we have an appreciation
for food more we're Foodies we start to develop an appreciation more for the natural world and we start to be able to like things outside of oursel remember the drug addict the food addict the more you're an addict the more you are selfishly and narcissistically consumed with your own addictive needs with your own dopamine hit MH and when you're eating so un healthfully it changes the brain's structure and function in neuroplasticity and you and it leads to making poor choices and the lack of ability to make decisions based on logic and reason you become easily
confused and more affected by conspiracy theories and you going be led in the wrong path and we're seeing I wrote a book about this called fast food genocide describing how people became more violent due to nasin deficiency in from pellagra after the Civil War leading to lynching of blacks and more violence in the South and I'm suggesting that we're seeing this today we're seeing more violence less ability to care for and relate to other people more a feeling of separateness and against other people and and conflict and Egos and narcissism and you know so we're
seeing more of that and part of that problem is due to the nutritionally deficient brain mhh so all of this is married together the good nutrition a better way of seeing the world having genuine good will for other people it can leads to a more stable and happier and peaceful life and a healthier life mhm what's the secret here's the doctor tells us about the timing of food eating and fasting as he reveals the secret to increasing stem cell regeneration um well the first and most important thing is that our body heals itself and the
anti-aging phenomenon and disease reversal benefits we get from dieting occurs when we're sleeping at night most repair occurs during sleep when we're not digesting food it's the combination of being still and resting while we're not digesting that enhances cellular repair so by eating late at night and a heavy meat dinner late at night and we're digesting calories half the night while we're sleeping inhibits or promotes aging and inhibits cell repair MH so Tim restricted eating or intermittent fasting I like to look at it as the most valuable part of that is eat means eat dinner
earlier and don't overeat at dinner almost so you could be a touch hungry at bedtime or certainly that you make sure that when you go to sleep at night you don't feel has to have a full stomach anymore you know make you if you can't eat light at night make a bigger meal for lunch if you have to but you know eat lightly at night or eat earlier at night we generally serve dinner here around 5:00 and even sometimes I overeat at night I'm overeating and because it tastes so good and then I go to
bed at night I'm still feel I over I said oh shoot I overate I should be I should really not I should have finished digesting by I got to remember to eat I got to try to eat less for dinner and eat or eat earlier you know what I mean so you if you overeat it takes longer to digest it so you can increase the hours of digestion by us putting too much food in your stomach at one time you know it's why people they eat dinner and they're not even hungry for dinner because they
eat too much at lunch if you eat much of breakfast you're not going to be hungry if you want to eat three meals a day you have to not overeat so you can get hungry in time and have your stomach be totally empty and feel like eating the next meal but particularly in dinner time is critically important and so yes fasting and intermittent fasting has benefits for longevity just like caloric restriction does but I generally don't recommend it too much because I'm dealing with overweight food addicts so much and by and if they're still overweight
we're trying to fast weight off them instead of learning them learning how to live the lifestyle it makes them more emotionally obsessed about food it actually triggers addictive behaviors it doesn't help it even though you might have accelerated the weight loss a little bit they're going to get a slow metabolic rate that's extremely too slow after the fast and they'll gain weight too readily they're not even going to want to stick with the program after the fast so it more it complicates things and makes too high a risk of weight yo-yoing and lack and less
chance they're going to stay cons assistant on the program long term so I don't recommend that but right now I'm fasting a person because she's eating healthfully and her psoriasis was so bad and so itchy that I just felt I wanted to clear the psoriasis faster so she could be more comfortable and she wasn't that overweight anyway so I started her after about a couple of months of eating right and her psoriasis wasn't yet going away yet so I started her on a fast this week and immediately it's clearing up her psoriasis and so I'm
so there are so I'm sometimes going to fast people as a therapeutic modality like I particularly use it with asthmatics because once they eat healthfully for six months and I want to slowly lean them off their steroids I want to make sure as they come off their steroids they don't flare up again and have an attack so I start them on a brief fast to lower the to reduce the pro propensity for an immune hyperactivation so their asthma is clear and there's no reaction while they're staying off the steroids for the next you know they're
going to fast a week or two and then they're going to go back to eating and I can make sure they're never going to have another rasm attack the rest of their life you know so I can use it in my AR my tool bag of Arsenal of of natural remedies but I but I don't want to overuse it either you know what I mean sleep here is the doctor's message about the effects of moderate caloric restriction on diet on cholesterol if you keep your LDL particularly oxidized LDL very favorable this High antioxidant diet keep
your body fat down your weight down don't overeat and particularly I'm saying don't eat too many calories because the excess calories can drive up LPA just and over time as you do this degree of moderate caloric restriction and it slows down your metabolism a little bit because you under shoot your basil metabolic needs your LPA LPA will improve a little bit and even if it's still in the abnormal range it'll be the low range of abnormal not the high range of abnormal we see improvements in LPA as people adopt this progam of moderate caloric restriction
and then they um and then we see improvements as the so as igf-1 and insulin and all these hormones go lower we see improvements in LPA LPA as well but I agree with that if we get everything right it should be less of a concern or no concern next watch the Dr Joel foran Club playlist for more information on the nutritarian diet thanks for watching longevity de processed hit like share and And subscribe to stay updated on evidence-based longevity tips share your thoughts in the comments your journey matters remember small daily habits create big changes
