  1. The wonderful Dr Goldner offers free advice about her protocol every Wednesday at 12:30pm Pacific in a live podcast. I have been watching her for a long time. She is also very inspirational in mental health matters, after all, it's all connected. I'm glad you appreciate her!! I have been drinking Dr Goldner's smoothie for over 1 1/2 years, not all of it in one day, more like 2 days, as a form of health maintenance. I add almond milk and sometimes PB2, even though it has a lot of Omega 6. I have one autoimmune disease and hope to prevent more. Greetings from Tiger Mtn! :-)

  2. @streetlights111 As an older person I look back on my life and see so many different paths that I could have taken, had I known about them. I am always curious and I want to find out things. However, I studied architecture and never did much with it, esp after moving to the US where the field was no longer imaginative. My point though, get done with what's ahead of you and however you can accomplish this part of your education. Then take a sufficiently long break and re-evaluate, find out what really interests you, maybe you even have passions that are burried deeply under all your worries. Look forward to exploring bits of what matters most to you once you have enough room in your head to move on to your next adventure :-) . Much <3 - btw, you express yourself very well! PS. don't only look under the streetlights just because that is where you can see what's there ;-)

  4. I think it is theoretically possible to reverse some of the damage -- whether we can achieve that outcome is not so clear. The earth is resilient. Restorative agriculture can make the soil healthy again and reducing animal consumption would repurpose their food resources to the needs of people (and do away with cruelty towards animals). Can it happen? I wish.

  5. That sounds like just what the doctor ordered :-) - in the best way possible!

  9. I guess "free will" is a misnomer. Obviously, this has to be thought of within realistic parameters. The idea of complete choice, complete control is a ridiculous concept IMO. That cannot happen and is an unrealistic thought experiment that leads to fatalism. However, you do end up at crossroads all the time and then you choose depending on the parameters you have selected as guidelines - easy, hard, compassionate, don't care, helpful, passive..... Those are choices that can actually be altered by more info that can at different times sway you one way or another. But choices you make, freely. Good ones and not so good ones.

  10. Agree. People in the "no free will" camp in these comments seem to be stuck in a static, unflexible state of being. However, in reality, everything has influence on everything else - that is how as a mechanism we are one - and it changes all the time, as does our capacity to react (by choosing a direction). Not whether we can, but how (we follow a goal, or mindset).

  13. He did catch Dr. Goldner's lecture during the conference and spoke highly of her. He also demonstrated how to make her smoothie. I watch her every Wednesday, she is so inspiring.

  14. Greetings from Tiger Mountain! I drank my green smoothie while watching your video. Here's an important tip: you will not gain any nutritional benefit (Omega 3) from the flax seeds unless they are consumed freshly ground. I recommend to add a good amount of flax seeds to your smoothie since you already have enough fiber in your granola, The Vitamix will grind up the flax for you, they disappear in the mix. ENJOY! 🙂 , I applaud all your healthy choices!

  15. "Vegan" is not a term that suggests healthy eating per se. As vegan you simply cut out animal products. But then you have to replace them with the nutrients you would have received from these animal products. Living a whole food plant based lifetyle corrects the mistakes that junk food vegans make by not understanding the need for proper nutrition. Most of the processed vegan foods are unhealthy. Dr Goobie mentioned in this talk that his plant based patients looked healthier and healed better. Hopefully you will keep listening and get to find out where you went wrong as a 'vegan". Best wishes 🙂

  16. Thought of you as I was eating some black caps and thimbleberries earlier today on our property. I love noticing the missing leaves that the deer ate as they passed through. I enjoyed the tale of the waterbugs. Wonder how long they live, didn't expect them to hibernate....

  17. You need to grind the flax seeds for salads etc to get to the Omega 3. Hope you know that :-). <3 best wishes :-)

  18. How much fun is it to have to deal with people's egos and excuses on a daily basis as your job? Ok - rhetorical question.... 🙂

  19.  @GM4ThePeople  I speak and understand your language. I have looked at the devastating effects of misguided nutrition for the past 8 years, beginning with my own health issues. I have made some life-changing discoveries... My comment was directed personally at Dr. Goobie, whose posts I studied and interpreted with interest and I got more and more encouraged believing that he has had similar revelations about the true nature of our system of sick-care. By judging his food choices, I think he may have a good sense of what is the cause of this major dilemma. Yet, I was not sure whether he was aware of how divisive this topic is. I share your concern. Best wishes!

  20.  @GoobieAndDoobie  A lot of people will trust your judgement. Pls be careful w your advice and consult some trusted sources first. Greetings from Tiger Mountain 🙂

  21.  @GoobieAndDoobie  Alan Watts is a fascinating man and a pleasure to listen to. He represents the freedom to explore - a perfect example of the spirit in which I grew up as a teen. Love mattered a lot then, more than I was able to understand. I have a hard time making sense of the (western) world these days. I agree with everything you said. I will continue working on establishing a wildflower meadow to give back to nature. :-) ❤ from Tiger Mtn.

  22. Add enough fruit, frozen works best, and you won't taste the kale. Add flax seeds to the smoothie as well (Omega 3s are so healing!).

  23. Oh, I guess that photo was of Mt Rainier at the end - I was expecting some lavaly words for nearby Rainer from the air ;-) .

  24. Yes, provided you use a Vitamix or Blendtec. I have used both for this smoothie for years!

  25. Correct. It is necessary to use a strong blender to grind up the flax seeds while making the smoothie. Otherwise, prior to making the smoothie grind the flax seeds in a designated coffee grinder.

  26. Ahhhh......... Never mind.

  27.  @GoobieAndDoobie  Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn is against smoothies because chewing is an integral part of digestion. However, his biggest concern is his dietary protocol that has healed heart patients and opened up their arteries. I still drink my green smoothie every day though. 🙂

  28. Are you avoiding soy because of an allergy or due to misleaading information? Without soy, getting the nutrients you need is juat a little more difficult and I would not recommend avoiding soy unless you have to. There are many channels by docs (MDs) and chefs that are whole food plant based . It takes a while to sort things out, but if you follow 21 day meal plans that are freely available at no cost, they will give you a good basis for accomplishing this switch. I started with info by Dr Fuhrman 9 years ago.... I can also recommend Dr Laurie Marbas -- on her channel she speaks daily to the details of switching to a plant-based diet, with emphasis on weight loss, based on her experience with her patients.

  29.  @marinaBSNRN  Oh I didn't expect an apology - I just wanted your message to make sense because it is an important one. Inflammation can be so easily reversed or at least reduced by eliminating foods that cause this inflammation!

  30.  @peterjackson4623  Not difficult once you realize this is one of the few areas in medicine where you get to talk to and heal your patients. I listen to these doctors a lot on YT and they are happy with their choices. They get to be healers.

  31. OK, you are referring to one path of many :-) .

  32. Marina, I assume you mean inflammation? Inflammation is a culprit in many chronic diseases.....

  33.  @CHXFIT95  I am well acquainted with the internet, I'd say since 1994. 30 years, my first computer had 8 mgs of ram LOL and I had to go through a portal to get to the actual internet. In all these years I have become quite good at "reading" people and their motivations. Things add up for me re Dr. Goobie, so I simply believe/trust him. His story makes sense to me.

  34. Why on earth would he invest all this time in misleading people?

  35. Congratulations!! That's not easy. Hope you stick with it :-)

  36. I'm so glad you found the perfect way to convey your message - by just being true to yourself. What you have to say is so important - and I agree with most of what you conveyed today. THANK YOU! ---- BTW, I went plant-based 9 years ago as well. Greetings from Tiger Mountain. 😊

  37. @extra-turtle A good place for you to investigate these docs and others is a YT channel created by Chef AJ. When the pandemic began, everybody had lots of time. Every day she presented plant-based doctors who presented info and answered questions on any topic of their chosing. She only recently changed the focus of her channel, but all these presentations are archived on her channel "Chef AJ". Also, look at Dr. Barnard's channel out of Washington DC,; they present plant-based health topics several times a week, "Physicians Committee". Hope this helps you locate information to help you find what you are looking for. One thing that is very noticable -- all the docs that are featured on these channels are very happy to be able to actually help their patients get healthy and not just manage their symptoms. 🙂

  38. If you use a Vitamix or Blendtec, you can use whole seeds, I have done this for years :-) . They get pulverized.

  40. Are you by any chance with Kaiser Permanente?

  41. It is common kowledge now that fish are contaminated with toxins - or fed a species inappropriate diet in fish farms. I have even heard a recommendation to feed less fish to cats! One recommendedation for humans by a plant based doc was to eat fish lower in the food chain, i.e. smaller fish, if you have to eat fish.....

  42.  @shane7241  You are very welcome :-) . I have been looking at plant based nutrition for the past 9 years. I would recommend that you look at whole food plant based channels for ideas. Vegan channels can be less health- conscious. Vegans avoid animal products, but often do not replace them with specifically healthy choices. It takes a while to figure this out. You might like a plant based channel called "Simnett Nutrition". He has good, healthy, straightforward suggestions and good cooking demos.

  43. As represenative of the salties you are not leaving a good impression, sorry.

  44. Type 2 diabetes is reversible. There are many plant-based docs on YT who can help. I was with Mastering Diabetes for a year and now have much better control of my Type 1 diabetes. Stinging pain in my feet is 95% gone, not sure what occasionally triggers the remaining 5%. Neuropathy result is similar.

  45. Remember, they had no electricity. "Lights out" happened at sunset.....

  46. Look at Lifestyle Medicine, it is a growing field and many disappointed doctors get back to what they hoped to be doing: healing people, working with the patient to remove the cause of disease instead of managing disease!. <3

  47.  @g_9443  You should have kept watching - Doobie learned from Eckhardt Tolle to respect Jesus - as any morally advanced, ethical person should. Peace 🙂

  48.  @GoobieAndDoobie  I live 10 min from the hatchery (for 36 years) and I have never stopped there. It was tough to watch this spectacle and in fact I had to skip to the end. Been WFPB for 9 years now, vegetarian for 24 years before that....... BTW, we are putting in a meadow on our property and during research I found out that some insects depend on specific wildflowers to live. Wildflowers are not that easy to find here any more. Apparently, the monarch butterfly is 99% extinct in California because it cannot find milkweed plants. Please look into this and maybe talk about it. Also, last year I found out bad news about our beloved Western Red Cedars in our state - ironically called the tree of life......

  49. Coconut oil sadly has saturated fat.... . Best wishes!

  50. That's too broad of a brush. There are lots of good people somewhere. Look around your neighborhood, maybe in your family. You won't find them online because there's too much pretense. It's not "society's" fault that things have gone sideways, but forces in society that put money and appearances ahead of substance, truth, and kindness. Be who you are looking for :-).
