Let's say you get your blood work back from your normal primary care doctor. They'll look at it. They'll be like, all right, well, your cholesterol is high. Here's a medication for that. And let's move on. I know my mom was really frustrated after she got blood work back from her doctor because they're like, OK, your cholesterol is high. Here's a medication.
She's like, well, I don't want to take medication. I want to get rid of my high cholesterol. They're like, well, exercise more. That's all they said to her. And she's like, well, that's not.
So she started to go to a functional medicine practitioner and she was able to look at my mom's hormones. She assessed her stress levels. She looked at her sleep. She looked at what her day to day was like. And, you know. she looked at her diet and was able to really create like a holistic approach to lowering her cholesterol.
So some are MDs, some are not. So a lot. You can see one in addition to your primary care doctor. or in addition to your gynecologist.
So we'll start with my mom. Right.
decided to heal herself naturally she's like let her cholesterol wasn't too high where it was dangerous she was like let me try these healthier methods first give it a couple months and then reevaluate and see if i really need to take meds so she went fully plant-based no meat no eggs right no fish no and it can sound intimidating right like you love your tuna with mayonnaise and yeah
On white bread with your deli sandwiches. But she went fully plant-based using all my recipes because I already had them for her. Because I think that was, it's a big shift when you're used to, even just making an omelet in the morning is so simple. Or having your protein for dinner as a fish or a chicken. And she replaced it with tofu, lentils, beans.
So instead of like chicken fried rice, you do tofu fried rice. And instead of steak tacos, it was bean tacos. And just those small shifts with the regular meals that you love, but just those tiny changes really made a difference. So her cholesterol went back to normal.
Her triglycerides were through the roof, came back to normal. And she feels great.
So I say anyone who wants to eat, even just eating healthy in general, whether you, whether you eat meat or you don't, you have to have a well-planned diet because you could not be plant-based, but also be eating McDonald's three times a day. So whatever you're doing, your diet needs to be well-planned, whether it includes animal products or not.
If you do want to be vegan or plant based and you want to do that long term, you have to decide that you're going to do it in a well-planned way because you can be a junk food vegan. As I like to say, Oreos are vegan. McDonald's has some vegan options. I mean, Burger King has the impossible burger.
So you and, you know, sugar and candy and pastas and whatever. All of these things that you can technically have as a vegan aren't necessarily healthy. So you need to make sure that you're doing it the right way, which is like where I try to help people because I know so many ex-vegans, people who quit saying, oh, I didn't feel good.
I felt really weak or my hair started falling out and all these things. And I've come to realize they were only eating pasta for a meal. I'm like, well, where was your protein? You still have to eat protein. Right. You can't just eliminate protein because you're vegan. You have to replace it with something else.
So where people fall short is when they don't plan it well. And so you have to have the same macronutrients, fat, protein, carbs that you're on non-vegan diet would have as well. Right.
So protein, tofu. Carb, sweet potato. Yeah. Your fat, avocado. Right. Like you have to make sure that every meal... Different balance. Exactly.
Your plate has to include the same macronutrients that your non-vegan diet had. And then also make sure that you're supplementing right. So everyone, not just vegans, should take a B12. We used to get it from our soil, but now our soils have become... Depleted and depleted of nutrients. Like people aren't growing vegetables in their backyard anymore. We're getting them. My daughter-in-law is.
Oh, well, that's amazing for her.
So she's probably getting some B12 from. And we didn't used to have to wash and scrub our vegetables and fruits like we used to. Or like that we do now.
um and so people were able to you know kind of just eat a strawberry off the vine and get some b12 from the soil but now it's a little bit more depleted a little one do you do this for the little one he's plant-based and he's huge okay yeah taylor here can attest oh i'm so happy he is so happy so healthy and even when i was pregnant i was vegan while i was pregnant which is also like
Controversial.
