I absolutely love the content of your videos.  I am extremely active, not over weight, good blood pressure.  It seems to drive my primary physician nuts that I don't "exercise".  When I explain that I cut the lawn, garden, walk the dog etc, she still seems to want to hear that I go to a gym.  I love that you put value on staying active.

Answer 12

Thank you, Dr. Li for another wonderful video. I used to love food but not anymore. In fact, i get stressed out when it comes to food. I have mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) in the gut and this causes me to be sensitive to any kind of meat and seafood. For that reason, i changed my diet to whole food plant based but I found out I'm also sensitive to any sea vegetables legumes, tofu, seeds and nuts. These are the main sources of my protein and I can't consume them freely. I can only consume very small amount otherwise I get too itchy and inflammation buildup. I no longer have joy in food. The worst part is I'm always hungry because I don't feel satiated.
Dr. Li, please do a video on MCAS.
