Amazing chef AJ! I love chili 😋. I like to put a little bit of cinnamon with the spices. It gives a very nice touch 😉. Both of my parents are in their 70's and taking high blood pressure medication. My mom is pre diabetic and my dad a lung cancer survivor. They don't believe removing salt and oil frm their diet makes sense. Their excuse is that their doctor said to reduce salt not removed it completely and to use olive oil 😖😠. It's very frustrating to me to watch their health deteriorate and not be able to convince them to make changes for their own good. They live in Brazil so they have the language barrier to understand the information we have here in the States that is in English.
A great show – thanks Chef A J and Dr Esselstyn!
Aweee I missed this live…
I thought they did this previously, I remember watching this..
Love this ..🥰🥰
7 years on the Esselstyn diet post heart attack and doing fantastic. My severe angina is gone, migraines are gone, psoriasis is gone. Feel decades younger.
Where’s the recipe
Wonderful to see Dr Esselstyn and Chef A.J. together. Praying for you both.
I love these simple healthy recipes for the Instant Pot.
Dr. E! amazing video
You stopped the instant pot process after 7 minutes, opened the lid, and put the kale in the instant pot.
My question: did you do any more instant pot cooking? If so, how many more minutes? If not, please clarify that you just stirred in the raw kale. Just curious how the final product ended up. Thanks!
When was this filmed?
❤ 🥬 ❤ 🥬 ❤
Dr. E is music to my ears
This is an earlier interview and we all learn, but Dr. Esselstynn couldn’t complete his conversation about health without your interrupting about that food you were cooking. He had important information that could benefit many and your food should have waited.
I don’t mean to be cruel. You have good shows but with such an impressive doctor as Dr. Esselstynn, never mind chili or whatever that was!

I love seeing this human. He's such a delight.
Oh man, Dr. Esselstyn looks so good. And AJ too:)
Esselstyn's book Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease got me from vegetarian to vegan. He might be my number 1 hero.
Love seeing these two living legends together, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn telling us on the current state of Medicine and Chef AJ making another great tasting and nutritious recipe, Sweet Potato Chili!👍
2 wonderful people.
“Dynamite” and he eats just one little bite haha. Anyhow. Great recipe and informative video. Thank you.
Thank you! 🙏💞🍠🥬
Thank you Dr. Esselstyn. I wish the people would listen to you, and get rid of heart disease like me. IT IS SO CLEAR, JUST FOLLOW DR. ESSELSTYN for just 1(One) week, you turnaround your way to emergency room to your home gotten rid of your heart problems shokingly.
I'm diagnose with cancer, i have just 2 years to live, i've never been this scared to die, i'm just 35, i cry everyday wishing for a miracle to happen. i don't know why im saying this here. put me in your prayers.
I’m torn because at 71 and mostly plant based, have osteoporosis and with chronic illness/mechanical issues get little exercise, and need animal protein for my bones. At least that’s what many experts say is the best. Also Bryan Johnson the guy who has many scientists studying him for 2 million a year, purposely drinks olive oil. Hard to know who to believe – have incorporated whey protein and some Turkey/chicken but I really don’t care for meat.
Oh how nice to see two of my favorite people together!!! Thank you, with much love and respect.
this is so delicious!
Free facial…you are so funny Chef AJ😂
Thank you so much. Wonderful. And I made your Sweet Potato Chili last night and enjoyed it very much. Sending peace and love.
Dear beautiful AJ, She has such sweetness, dignity and grace. Very calm and thoughtful.
