I agree with using more room temperature fruit to make it easier for the stomach to handle. Having said that I still have cold smoothies over chopped fresh fruit (nice to eat it slowly with a spoon) and I too feel cold for a little while. To help this, I eat it sitting wrapped in blanket or with a heating pad on my abdomen. Works like a charm.
When I asked my gastroenterologist about diet prior to my colonoscopy said no different than anyone else. Can eat all the whole grains, beans, etc I want. Just have clear liquids day prior. I know that can’t be right. Most doctors aren’t aware of WFP lifestyle
Dr Davis really is such a delight 😀 sounds like a lovely offering to the bundle too; I really can't do non-green smoothies or even nicecreams anymore, and I like them best the more greens there are 🙂 thank you so much <3
Smoothies!!! My mom is not statistically significant or peer reviewed but her experience has had real significance among her circle of friends and family.
2 1/2 years ago, my 80 year old mother finally had a follow up appointment with her physician which was delayed for months because her doctor has been in charge of treating Covid patients in the hospital and in nursing homes and was not able to meet with her. She had a full blood panel taken for this visit and her doctor was astounded at the progress she had made during the last year. She is now no longer diabetic and she was instructed to stop taking insulin after having been on it for 12 years. Her doctor also praised her kidney function which has never looked better. Also, she couldn't believe that her total cholesterol was only 139, with LDL of 67, HDL of 60, and triglycerides of 82 which is a big improvement for her. According to the Framingham Heart Study, these numbers mean that she is virtually "heart attack proof" as many plant based doctors have noted. Her physician (Johns Hopkins med school grad) mentioned that she is reconsidering the diet for her family based on this experience. She also asked my mom to share her experience with our community after the pandemic. All of these results are exactly what I had hoped would occur. Below is a typical day of eating for her. I plugged her bloodwork test values into the Levine Biological Age Calculator and she has aged minus 15 years during the last 3 years. I joke with her that she may be required to give up her Social Security benefits if she keeps going like that. She was able to get off of all blood pressure medications after 3 years, tapering off so as not to over-medicate which is dangerous because it can deprive tissues of necessary oxygen and nutrients.
Here is the menu for a typical day:
Breakfast: Organic steel cut oats with wild blueberries, raspberries, 1/2 banana, tablespoon of ground flax and ground chia seeds, tablespoon of hemp seeds, organic soy milk, cinnamon.
Lunch: Green smoothie heavy on the low-oxalate greens (frozen kale or collard greens, frozen pineapple, banana, orange, lemon wedge with rind, organic soy milk, avocado sliver, amla powder, dulse flakes, apple cider vinegar, blackstrap molasses, nutritional yeast, small scoop of hemp protein powder, fresh ginger, medjool date, fresh kale) with a small handful of almonds and walnuts – or – some soup and salad.
Before dinner snack: one apple.
Dinner: Variety of simple meals including spaghetti, chili, vegetable soup with beans, lintel miso soup with organic tofu cubes/onions/mushrooms/kale, split pea soup with onions/mushrooms/carrots/celery/potato, roasted vegetables (squash/carrots/potatoes), rice and beans bowl with onions/mushrooms/kale/peppers/salsa, organic tofu scramble with onions/mushrooms/peppers/kale/turmeric/nutritional yeast, broccoli, asparagus, etc. Dessert: frozen banana whip with papaya or strawberries topped some days with a couple of macadamia nuts or a Brazil nut. Make sure to include G-Bombs every day for optimal immune system (i.e. – greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries, seeds). Avoid most processed foods. Include tofu perhaps twice a week but not more. Stop eating after an early dinner except for a few pistachios before bedtime. Health is Power!
Maybe talk about autoimmune diseases. Or allergies like I am gluten sensitive and cruciferous vegetables.💚✌️😎 Loved your talk doctor thankful for you!
I freeze big bags of kale and collard greens to use in my smoothies. Using them frozen seems to help keep the smoothie cold, as well as always having them on hand.

Hi chef AJ plant based nutrition energy health
Great Info!!!!
Who was it that has the austin queso recipe?
AJ, after looking into it, although uncommon it does appear that some people are intolerant to yeast.
Bio-identical hormones (from UpToDate): “The term "bioidentical hormone" technically refers to a hormone with the same molecular structure as a hormone that is endogenously produced (eg, 17-beta estradiol). However, in popular culture, the term refers to the use of custom-compounded, multihormone regimens with dose adjustments based upon serial hormone monitoring. Many postmenopausal women are turning to this approach because of safety concerns about conventional hormone preparations. However, we agree with a number of expert groups, including the North American Menopause Society, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and Endocrine Society, all of whom advise against the use of custom-compounded hormones, most importantly because of the lack of stringent quality controls regarding purity and dosing.”
