Nutrition is not complicated, it's really simple
Most of these whining doctors come from rich families and not used to pain. Life is full of pain get used to it. You are paid huge crazy salaries
Bravo 👍 bon courage
The medical mafia doesn't want to create health and wellness. If you want to help people establish true health you would have to learn about wellness care. This is something completley differnt from "standard of care" and generally involves learning the modalities that are highly ciritzed and disregarded but actually create health from the inside out. If you really want to see people in their highest state of health become a homeopath which actually changes lives, people have no idea. You certainly don't get the outside credibilty that you get when you say "you're a doctor". Your'e making yourself sick with anxiety and stress caused by working for the mafia. Sorry to be so abrupt and thank you for speaking out. This is a spiritual issue sorting out what matters to you and priortizing your life force. The system gives lots of money and kudos which are very attractive to most people. You have to figure out who you really are and find your personal power within yourself. It is not given to you by an outside structure. That is a false God. Life is a spiritual path and it's a blessing to be able to walk it. Once you do you can never look back. People who do walk the path are leading the way forward. Some people will join, some won't. This is free will. We are all given free will and make our own choices. The greatest gift of the path is personal autonomy. This is the path to joy where our gifts connect with service. It's a big paradign shift but many are destined to make the shift. When it's you you can''t not do it. Keep searching and never settle when it doesn't feel right.
Dr Lily is a vascular surgeon but also cares and give love to the patients whole health , psychsosial and metabolic problems
Thankyou both for sharing this story.
Thankyou Lily for be open and honest. I really enjoyed hearing your story.
Why the forced unneccesary bad language.
Does lily have a husband
Is very different now in au as well
This interview is truly captivating! Thank you. It explores deep emotions, real experiences, and genuine connections. Dr. Lily’s story about her emotions at her friend’s wedding really touched me.
After reading her book, I’ve been revisiting many moments that have stirred something within me, and I feel a strong connection to Dr. Lily’s words about intense work & career. What do we sacrifice to achieve work success, but sometimes, “someday” is just out of reach.
Dr. Lily, thank you! We appreciate you so much. You know we are ‘your tribe.’ 🙌🩵🥰
She said TWINKIES, not donuts so I'm still good 🎉
How was the eating real food. I was mostly eating meat at the time. Went to my doctor I had lost some weight my blood pressure was getting better. My blood work looks great. And then I told her how I was eating. She proceeded to tell me that wasn't sustainable.
Great interview, but all the ads interrupting every 2 minutes are very irritating!
Jessy nie zgadzam się że opieka w USA jest najlepsza na świecie…mieszkam w Polsce w Europie po badaniach kontrolnych naczyń kardio okazało się że potrzebuję bay passy oraz nowa zastawkę serca…po 3 misiacach wyladowalem w szpitalu gdzie wszystko wykonano bez jednego pensa..dziś jestem na keto ruszam się i jest extra, w USA dalej bym spłacał operacji
Poland the best pozdrawiam Piotr
What a great interview. This topic is so very important. It touches upon many things that need to be essential components of reforming a broken healthcare system.

Commenting to support the interviewer and his.
I love listening to your interviews. Wow. Dr. Johnston is so fun. She has incredible communication skills to go with her deep knowledge and wisdom. ❤
Something I found in a comment section that you would appreciate.
Dr. William Supple JR. says his 83-year-old mother-in-law was sent home on hospice with metastatic breast cancer.
According to him, the family began giving her Fenbendazole, mixed into her yogurt every day. He claims that within four months her tumor markers returned to normal, she left hospice care, and she is now cancer free.
Supple has publicy stated that an inexpensive drug produced results the medical system did not expect, and that this information is not being widely shared.
I'm using Liposomal Nattokinase and Serrapeptase with 6 antiinflammatory enzymes added, Liposomal Berberine for insulin resistance, Aged Black Garlic, CoQ10. Hoping for some improvements.
Thankyou Jesse! ❤❤❤
Estou quase discutindo com os médicos que estão jogando minha mãe, pra lá e pra cá. Nenhum tratamento eficaz.
Dr Lily Johnston has changed my path in life and given me understanding which is bringing me a higher quality of life and longevity too. ❤
And that's just from her youtube channel. You ain't seen nothing yet! 🎉
@lisaRSArt ❤ lookie here my friend 🎉
1:00:06 very beautiful family Dr Lily ❤
That's a Family of very distinguished and highly intelligent doctors right there 🎉
The over-achieving kids that are pressured into a so-called elite occupation, and yes, it is just that, an occupation, are nothing but encyclopedias that AI can already so easily outperform. A lot of the ones that stay in the occupation do so just for the money. In my 72 years, I can remember maybe 2 medical personnel that I thought were good(and that actually helped me when I needed it) and they were both PAs. The Western ‘medical’ system, most particularly the American one, is nothing but a captured and corrupt flailing and failing guild of elitists that display not an iota of adherence to the tenets of the ‘calling’ that they would like you to think they live by. It’s all a sham.
1:04:45 "The doctor that discovered that h pylori bacteria was responsible for ulcer formation." Doctors are not scientists. I doubt that his experiment was scientifically valid. There is certainly an association between the bacteria and the ulcer formation, but that does not prove causation.
There's no question about Lily's IQ. She's BRILLIANT! However… she's really just STARTED this new approach to medicine & health. She STILL needs work on "counter-arrogance" (i.e. humility), and SERIOUSLY QUESTIONING all the CRAP she's been taught throughout her career! The "system" promotes arrogance & false narratives. I hope she continues her present journey. This was BY FAR her most pleasant & personable interview. I think her newfound focus on "presence & love" may be the key to her finally reaching a SOLID TEN on her "happiness scale"!

Hey, (Portuguese) translation team – I’m certain that the word "CARALHO" was used completely incorrectly. Please look into this, folks. Best regards!
GENTE! EQUIPE DE TRADUÇÃO/ VERSÃO (PORTUGUÊS) – tenho certeza que a palavra "CARALHO" foi absolutamente mal usada. Atentem para isso aí, meus caros. Saudações!
Thank you for this, sharing with my family.
I agree opening with unexpected F word from Jessee is disappoonting. I am guessing he reflected Lilly's terminokogy. We do not need to revert to such base terms for emphasis.
Wow, I totally love this conversation. This is all tied up with our modern society. We have been sold a bill of goods – work hard, get married and have 2 kids, a dog, a big house and car and you will live happily ever after. Except we have become mice on a hamster wheel trying desperately to keep up and now we realize we have sacrificed our well-being to enrich an elite class. Anyone working in the service industry is expected to do more and more with less and less. And we are reevaluating what really matters. People are waking up.
Great to have Dr. Lily back on- thank you for the wonderful conversation! 😚
That’s one very knowledgeable Doctor!! She explains the issues with such clarity!👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
