  I am a retired emergency department registered nurse. I also had a heart attack at 61. I am now 66. I am constantly seeking out new research and watch hundreds upon hundreds of videos with subjects like ketogenesis, atophagy, decreasing the amount of processed carbohydrates and sugars, fully research the old paradigms regarding cholesterol, have stopped my statins, have gotten away from the SAD diet... and continue to research. I am convinced at this time that I know more than my cardiologists and my primary care physician who all refused to change their belief systems regarding the old paradigms. Trying to find a new cardiologist that isn't stuck in the Dark Ages with the old paradigms has been futile. So at this point I've learned to take care of myself and do what I believe is correct from all the research that I've done. I keep my cardiologists just so that I can schedule an echocardiogram every now and then and get an EKG. This is an example of the sad state of our Healthcare System.

  Dr. Hyman has great books on diet plans. Check your A1c level. Check your CRP inflammation level. Stop eating carbohydrates. Start your day with fats and proteins - such as an organic egg/omelet breakfast. When you start your day with healthy fats or proteins, you will reduce the glucose spikes throughout the day. Cut variety of veggies, organic baby, spinach, baby kale, baby arugula, onions, garlic, daikon, radish, cucumbers, tomatoes. Throw some “Real Salt” salt, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. eat good amount of nuts and stick to savory food. Avoid processed food and sweet snacks. &nbsp;Eat some fresh fruit but not too much. <br>Try not to eat until 11/noon to keep your body in a 16 hour autophagy fasting mode. In the morning drink some purified water with “Thorne” amino acid, berry drink, which is amazingly tasting and it will keep you full if hungry. If you cannot run up the stairs by skipping one, that means your tush is too heavy and your body is abused by your eating habits and your lifestyle. Only we help us change. Listen to Dr. Berg also and Dr. Robert Lustig, just to name a few. <br>Life can be beautiful in our 60s and 70s m…we shouldn’t be prisoners in our own body. <br>Love to all:)

  January 2022 - Started Keto + OMAD + walked 8 miles every other day + drink 3 liters of filtered water daily infused with Dr. Berg’s Electrolyte powder = October 2022 - Lost 50 lbs, best blood test results ever and stopped 7 meds guided by doctor. Today - still focused on these habits for life. Additional habits - regularly view videos like this for continued reinforcement of why I live this way.

  I had to ask my functional doctor to test for heavy metals; as there was no &quot;cause&quot; for my issues that continued to get worse. Turns out I had both mercury &amp; lead toxicity. I had my mercury fillings removed at a biological dentist via SMART and am now on a heavy metal detox. I hope I will soon feel better.

  My mother was 85 years and had diabetes, hypertension, renal failure and osteoarthritis. I controlled all the diseases with exercises and dietary &nbsp;management. Now she&apos;s free from all the drugs she used

  Recap. <br>What we can do starting today. Get plenty of sleep 8 hour or more and include some exercise 25-45 minutes. Reduce your sugar intake and Starch. Don’t cold turkey but pay attention to sugar, trans fat, ultra high foods. Try to reduce it every day. What should you eat. more of greener vegetables, colorful vegetables, fresh fish, nuts, Berries. Try to buy the higher Quality, yes it might cost just a little more but it will be worth it. Drink water and some electrolytes in water. Not your gatorade or propel. Cut out sodas completely. On top of everything else I wrote you can add &nbsp; Vitamins D, B6, fish oil, magnesium. &nbsp;If you start today and work your way up it will help you with stress levels, sleep, brain fog, memory, and your body feeling better. Safe up some money and go to family doctor that does more then blood test not like modern medicine.

  My grandfather was a physician, Internist and heart specialist. He was in charge of the Army hospitals in France in WWII. The rest of his life he went to Walter Reed hospital at least once a year. For generations our family ate healthy food and my grandfather was no exceptions. He had a big garden every summer. When he was old he had his beet garden. Best beet greens you can imagine. My mother had no sweets in the house and I followed with my daughter. My point is back in the day 1886-1972 doctors knew how important food was. <br>Then in the 60&apos;s the hippies were all about eating healthy. We experienced new ways to eat even more healthy than our parents. The food industry followed. Then the low fat no fat stuff &nbsp;that everyone got fat on. So now all this sugar stuff. Have a piece of dark chocolate after dinner for your heart. I wish I knew that one decades ago💕🙏<br>Thank you for your excellent information‼️💪

  Fighting Hashimoto&apos;s Hypothyroidism, chronic pancreatitis, Fibromyalgia and asthma (among other things). Just about to complete an intensive, 5 month heavy metal detox (1 week in to the 4 week brain phase). Totally eradicated my chronic fatigue and am hoping this phase will clear my brain fog. Still have a looooooong way to go but it&apos;s a good start. Just learned about functional medicine through your videos today. On a constant quest to learn. Thank you!

  I have read hundreds upon hundreds of books in my life. Even wrote a few of my own, but Dr. Hyman is a genius. Best books ever. The Pegan Diet is an amazing book.... A must Read. Will change your life.
