    My blood pressure has been a nightmare for over 30 years. Last year it averaged 200/120 . Thank God I ran into Dr Greger on YouTube. I’ve followed 70% of his recommendations and my blood pressure is down to 130/80. It’s been stuck there. I haven’t been able to improve it further. I’m going on a 7 weeks vacation in Los Angeles to focus perfectly on a whole food plant based diet. Completely eliminate flour, chicken or alcohol. Every day will be perfect and I’ll move in a single minded direction daily

      Same with my mom. I took her to the hospital about 10 years ago when she was over 210. Found this channel, followed the advice and she’s back down to 120.

      If you’re eating restaurant food it will be high in sodium. You pretty much need to make your own food from the produce aisle. Recommended max intake of sodium is 1500 mg Minimum 500. And you can use Cronometer to track it

    • @dalairem says:

      @@MushookieMan agreed. I have learned that many restaurants, particularly good vegan ones that cook real ingredients, will respect requests to not add additional salt to their dishes. What they can get from a can (esp. tomatoes and sauces) can’t be changed, but you can tick down the levels a bit by not adding more.

    thank you for your work

  • @maximilianess.3672 says:

    Confused because the majority of people who have had this disease recommend an unprocessed animal-based diet. Often, they also tried a plant-based diet for a while beforehand…

      @maximilianess.3672 I genuinely can’t tell whether this is satire…

      Did you mean to write that you are confused?

    • @MushookieMan says:

      Fiber affects my gut pretty intensely, or so I thought. I am up to 50 g fiber a day. The important thing is to cook foods thoroughly and add fiber gradually, only as whole foods, not a supplement.

  • @doloreswinsbarrow1110 says:

    Thanks for sharing, Dr.

  • @nilsboyboy says:

    the microbiome is just one puzzle piece in finding out what actually causes IBD and evidence for a plant based diet offering remission for a a significant amount of patients is not really there yet. If you have IBD and you cannot heal by relying on diet only, please stay on your meds.

  • @toasterpoppin8717 says:

    My Crohns symptoms tend to flare up when I have been eating processed fatty foods. The second I clean it up with fruit vegetables and clean meats. I’m good to go. And of course, high fiber in the form of flaxseed and blueberries.

  • @ChristiePriem says:

    I was diagnosed with Crohn’s 15 years ago. After 10 years of a plant-based diet, my last colonoscopy and biopsy showed no signs of Crohn’s! No medication, just lots of nutrition. Thank you, Dr Greger!!! ❤
