00:00:01.20\00:00:11.37
>> It has stood
the test of time --
00:00:11.37\00:00:14.71
God's book, the Bible...
still relevant in today's
00:00:14.71\00:00:20.68
complex world.
"It Is Written" --
00:00:20.68\00:00:25.95
sharing messages of
hope around the world.
00:00:25.95\00:00:30.79
い
00:00:30.79\00:00:33.66
>> Friends, thank you so
much for choosing to watch
00:00:43.27\00:00:46.68
"It Is Written Canada."
I am thrilled today to have
00:00:46.68\00:00:50.31
a special guest with me. Now,
this guest is no stranger to "It
Is Written Canada."
00:00:50.31\00:00:56.02
He shared with us a number of
programs on depression, on
overcoming addictions,
00:00:56.02\00:01:02.42
on stress and anxiety. I'm
thankful to have, once again,
00:01:02.42\00:01:08.13
Dr. Neil Nedley. Dr. Nedley,
thank you so much for being
here. >> Thanks, it's great to
00:01:08.13\00:01:11.37
be back. >> Now, for a reminder
to our audience, Dr. Nedley is
00:01:11.37\00:01:15.44
the President of Weimar
Institute. He is a doctor of
00:01:15.44\00:01:19.14
Internal Medicine. He's an
adjunct professor for Loma Linda
00:01:19.14\00:01:24.61
University. He is an expert,
though, in the area of
depression and optimal brain
00:01:24.61\00:01:30.59
function, and so, Dr. Nedley,
let's talk a little bit about
Weimar. Why don't you share with
00:01:30.59\00:01:36.36
our audience about Weimar
Institute? >> Oh, well, thank
00:01:36.36\00:01:40.00
you. Weimar Institute is a
college, but also a healthcare
00:01:40.00\00:01:45.97
center that actually has
medical programs for depression,
00:01:45.97\00:01:50.17
anxiety, heart
disease, diabetes -- a lot of
00:01:50.17\00:01:53.91
the advanced chronic diseases,
including cancer therapy,
00:01:53.91\00:01:59.41
and we also have a premed
college and a nursing school
00:01:59.41\00:02:03.85
there and a lot
of the pre-dentistry,
00:02:03.85\00:02:07.36
pre-physical therapy --
a lot of the health-related
00:02:07.36\00:02:11.99
places where students can
actually learn from experienced
00:02:11.99\00:02:15.40
instructors -- things
like nutrition and lifestyle
00:02:15.40\00:02:18.90
and more comprehensive
approaches than just medicating
00:02:18.90\00:02:23.94
or doing surgery. >> Now,
if there was somebody who was a
00:02:23.94\00:02:28.38
student interested in attending
Weimar Institute, where might
they find information about
00:02:28.38\00:02:32.18
that? >> Weimar.edu. >>
Okay. >> So it's pretty easy.
00:02:32.18\00:02:35.68
>> Now, if somebody was
interested in some of the
Lifestyle Programs,
00:02:35.68\00:02:40.66
the Overcoming Depression, the
Lifestyle Heart Disease, Cancer,
00:02:40.66\00:02:46.39
Weight Management, where would
they find information on some of
those Lifestyle Education
00:02:46.39\00:02:51.93
Programs that Weimar offers? >>
If you go to NewStart.org, that
would be a good place.
00:02:51.93\00:02:56.71
NEWSTART is an acronym that
actually is trademarked by
Weimar, and NewStart.org
00:02:56.71\00:03:02.24
would be able to hook you up
with a lot of those resources,
00:03:02.24\00:03:07.68
or you could go to
DepressionAnxietyRecovery -- or
DepressionRecovery.com. >>
00:03:07.68\00:03:12.89
Fantastic. And I've been to
Weimar. Weimar is a beautiful
place, there just up the
00:03:12.89\00:03:17.96
mountain from Sacramento,
California, and I can tell you
that the Lifestyle Education,
00:03:17.96\00:03:23.83
the food -- you know, sometimes
people think that they will be
robbed and deprived.
00:03:23.83\00:03:30.47
I've eaten in the cafeteria
where the rest of your patients
are eating, and fantastic food,
00:03:30.47\00:03:35.64
fantastic environment, trails
through the woods -- just a
00:03:35.64\00:03:39.95
wonderful place. >> It is. Yeah,
it's a privilege to be there.
00:03:39.95\00:03:42.35
>> Now, Dr. Nedley, obviously,
"It Is Written" is a program
that focuses on -- you know,
00:03:42.35\00:03:48.06
from that passage Matthew 4:4,
"It is written: 'Man shall not
live by bread alone, but by
00:03:48.06\00:03:53.86
every word that proceeds from
the mouth of God.'" But we also
00:03:53.86\00:03:58.57
understand, as we read through
the Bible, that Jesus was
interested in the health of the
00:03:58.57\00:04:03.57
whole person, certainly the
health of their spirituality,
but also their physical health,
00:04:03.57\00:04:08.61
their emotional health, so
on and so forth. But let's just
00:04:08.61\00:04:12.65
talk -- You know, we're gonna
spend a few programs talking
about optimizing your brain.
00:04:12.65\00:04:18.42
Why is our brain health so
important, not just to life in
general, but in the context
00:04:18.42\00:04:26.59
of spirituality? >> Well,
our brain is really who we are.
00:04:26.59\00:04:30.80
You know, when someone says,
"Who are you?," they're really
asking about your brain.
00:04:30.80\00:04:37.61
Yes, we do have eyes and ears
and nose and hands, and those
things are kind of a part of us,
00:04:37.61\00:04:43.61
but who we are is our brain, and
the wonderful thing about the
brain is that it can
00:04:43.61\00:04:49.52
change, and it can change in
very positive ways.
Unfortunately, it can change
00:04:49.52\00:04:54.36
in negative ways, as well, but
our goal is to take whatever
brain is there and to optimize
00:04:54.36\00:05:01.76
it into its full potential. >>
And so when we talk about
optimizing our brain, let's just
00:05:01.76\00:05:07.57
get this started with probably
the hard question, because so
often when we talk about
00:05:07.57\00:05:14.88
a brain and who we are, when
things aren't working well in
our life, we just simply
00:05:14.88\00:05:21.18
will answer that, "Well, that's
just who I am." So when we talk
00:05:21.18\00:05:26.02
about optimizing our brains, is
it possible that we just have
genetic flaws that will prevent
00:05:26.02\00:05:33.16
us from having optimal brain
chemistry? >> Well, there are
genetic flaws out there, and we
00:05:33.16\00:05:39.17
are going to be discussing some
of that in "Optimize Your
Brain." It's very -- You know,
00:05:39.17\00:05:44.47
if we didn't have any genetic
flaws whatsoever -- and there
are individuals that
00:05:44.47\00:05:50.08
occasionally will show up that
don't seem to have those
mutations or very many of them
00:05:50.08\00:05:55.05
-- we would be able to remember
everything that we've ever heard
or look at a phonebook
00:05:55.05\00:06:00.96
and then just recite it and put
it down. So that's how much the
00:06:00.96\00:06:06.29
brain is actually capable of if
it is perfect, but in our world
00:06:06.29\00:06:12.67
today, with all of the
degeneration of the genetic code
that's going on, there is very
00:06:12.67\00:06:18.77
few brains that are close to
perfect -- in fact, really not
00:06:18.77\00:06:23.14
any out there. There are
mutations that are more common
than others, but the nice thing
00:06:23.14\00:06:28.78
about bad genetics is we can
be on a particular lifestyle or
00:06:28.78\00:06:35.66
nutritional factor that can
actually deactivate the bad
genes, and we call that
00:06:35.66\00:06:41.43
epigenetics. So, no matter what
bad genes we have in our brain,
we can actually have those
00:06:41.43\00:06:47.27
deactivated often through
natural means, and then we can
actually reach our full
00:06:47.27\00:06:53.81
potential. >> So, this is
exciting. So, even if I'm having
00:06:53.81\00:06:58.21
difficulty in a certain area,
and I have a genetic flaw that
predisposes me for whatever
00:06:58.21\00:07:03.99
that challenge may be -- whether
it's stress, anxiety, depression
-- and there are many
00:07:03.99\00:07:09.36
things, and we're gonna talk
about some of those things --
00:07:09.36\00:07:14.23
there's hope... >> Absolutely.
>> ...through epigenetics... >>
00:07:14.23\00:07:17.87
Yes. >> ...and proper nutrition
that we can, kind of in layman's
terms, turn it on and turn it
00:07:17.87\00:07:23.61
off... >> Correct.
>> ...to help us along.
00:07:23.61\00:07:26.47
So, as we talk about these
genetic flaws, you mentioned
something, and I want to probe
00:07:26.47\00:07:31.21
that a little more deeply. Are
you saying that we're actually
00:07:31.21\00:07:35.98
seeing an increase in the
genetic flaws that are happening
in people's -- specifically in
00:07:35.98\00:07:41.06
their brains? >> In general,
there has been an increase just
because every successive
00:07:41.06\00:07:48.50
generation has about 150 to 300
new mutations over what their
parents had, and so, in fact,
00:07:48.50\00:07:55.84
we can actually track from one
generation to another how far
along you are in regards
00:07:55.84\00:08:03.65
to your genetic code and more
mutations. So our children look
00:08:03.65\00:08:09.32
more perfect than us because
they're younger, but, actually,
their genetics are less perfect
00:08:09.32\00:08:14.62
than their parents. And so
there is a gradual increase, but
00:08:14.62\00:08:20.93
there's not an exponential
increase. Let me explain this.
In the mental-illness field,
00:08:20.93\00:08:26.40
there has been an exponential
increase in mental illness. For
instance, 60% of college
00:08:26.40\00:08:32.74
students today have a
diagnosable mental disorder.
That's off the charts
00:08:32.74\00:08:38.75
over what it used to be, but
good news is, that's not really
due to the fact that
00:08:38.75\00:08:44.59
their genetics have exploded to
be that bad, it's the lifestyle
00:08:44.59\00:08:49.96
and nutrition and other factors
that are going on in their life
that are actually augmenting
00:08:49.96\00:08:55.03
the mutations that they have and
making it worse, and so if we
get those college students
00:08:55.03\00:09:01.84
on a proper program, that mental
illness can actually go away in
00:09:01.84\00:09:09.54
a matter of a few weeks, and
their brain can start to be
optimized to achieve far higher
00:09:09.54\00:09:14.38
in college than they ever
thought possible. >> Wow. So
this is a show here that will
00:09:14.38\00:09:19.12
touch all age groups, give hope
for all age groups. So let's
00:09:19.12\00:09:25.49
talk about some of these genetic
flaws. What are some common
genetic flaws that may lead to
00:09:25.49\00:09:30.97
mental disorders, mental
illness, stress, anxiety,
00:09:30.97\00:09:35.70
depression? What are some of
those genetic flaws? >> Well,
the most common genetic
00:09:35.70\00:09:40.68
flaw is something that we call
undermethylation. This is a gene
00:09:40.68\00:09:46.92
that as our DNA code is being
transcribed, and it's being
turned into proteins and things
00:09:46.92\00:09:53.82
like this, we actually
undermethylate, and as a result,
there's a number of personality
00:09:53.82\00:10:01.16
traits that tend to show up when
someone is an undermethylater.
00:10:01.16\00:10:04.57
>> Okay. So, now, let's maybe
just unpack that a little bit to
00:10:04.57\00:10:08.20
help everybody understand.
What does that mean --
00:10:08.20\00:10:11.57
undermethylate? >> Well, in the
brain, what it means is you're
gonna have less serotonin
00:10:11.57\00:10:17.41
activity and less dopamine
activity. Serotonin is the
molecule that helps your mood to
00:10:17.41\00:10:24.95
be stable when you're under
stress, and dopamine is what
gives us interest in pursuing
00:10:24.95\00:10:32.49
new things, a love of learning,
and so individuals that have
serotonin and dopamine-related
00:10:32.49\00:10:40.47
issues tend to have more
problems with anxiety. They can
have a calm exterior,
00:10:40.47\00:10:46.41
but a tense interior, and
because of their
undermethylation, they tend
00:10:46.41\00:10:51.58
to be more competitive. These
are people that tend to make
00:10:51.58\00:10:56.22
higher grades, or if they're in
sports, they have to win, and
they're going to be playing as
00:10:56.22\00:11:01.02
hard as they can. You know, the
Canadian teams in the Olympics,
00:11:01.02\00:11:06.33
a lot of those people that excel
and make gold and silver medals
00:11:06.33\00:11:11.47
are gonna be your
undermethylaters, and but those
individuals can have calm
00:11:11.47\00:11:18.74
exteriors, but tense interiors.
They can be a little antisocial,
as well. They don't necessarily
00:11:18.74\00:11:23.91
follow the crowd, and they tend
to have a high libido. They can
00:11:23.91\00:11:32.25
have obsessions. This is where
more of your
obsessive-compulsive type of
00:11:32.25\00:11:37.59
activity, which helps you to be
good in sports when you have the
OCD if you're obsessing about
00:11:37.59\00:11:43.43
that, but it can cause you to
major and minor sometimes and
minor and major, and so your
00:11:43.43\00:11:50.51
life can get out of balance, and
so those are personality traits
that tend to come with the
00:11:50.51\00:11:56.34
undermethylaters. >> Okay. So,
now, as we're talking about
brain function, we're talking
00:11:56.34\00:11:59.68
about brain chemistry,
optimizing brain, you've talked
about some of these
00:11:59.68\00:12:03.25
characteristics, and maybe
somebody's listening, saying,
"Wow, those are some of
00:12:03.25\00:12:07.32
the characteristics that I have,
and I internalize that stress, I
00:12:07.32\00:12:13.76
internalize these things. I am
obsessive about certain items."
00:12:13.76\00:12:19.30
As we think about that, what is
some of the hope that we can
provide for an individual
00:12:19.30\00:12:25.54
who is maybe struggling or
wrestling with some of these
issues and helping them overcome
00:12:25.54\00:12:33.15
this genetic flaw of being
an undermethylater? >> Yeah.
00:12:33.15\00:12:38.25
Well, fortunately, there are
some things that can actually
help to deactivate that
00:12:38.25\00:12:43.26
undermethylation gene. >>
Okay. >> One of them is simply
00:12:43.26\00:12:47.00
light therapy. If we have
decrease in serotonin activity
-- Serotonin actually
00:12:47.00\00:12:53.34
is produced as a result of light
through the eyes, and so these
00:12:53.34\00:12:59.71
are people that are gonna be
more prone to winter depression
that are undermethylaters,
00:12:59.71\00:13:05.75
and so getting a medical-grade
light box that simulates the
blue sky and waking up
00:13:05.75\00:13:11.79
to that every morning can
actually help to deactivate that
undermethylation gene.
00:13:11.79\00:13:17.73
Physical exercise also helps
significantly, and, in addition,
having foods with higher calcium
00:13:17.73\00:13:26.60
and magnesium and making sure
you have enough Vitamin D to
absorb the calcium and
00:13:26.60\00:13:32.01
magnesium can actually help
deactivate that undermethylation
00:13:32.01\00:13:36.54
gene. So, normally, it's a
comprehensive approach that
00:13:36.54\00:13:40.05
works. >> Okay. >> Now, there's
something else that can help
00:13:40.05\00:13:43.28
the undermethylation gene that
the pharmaceutical companies are
00:13:43.28\00:13:47.42
aware of, but your most common
antidepressants, the SSRIs,
undermethylaters tend to be more
00:13:47.42\00:13:54.40
sociable when they're using
these drugs. They tend to have
00:13:54.40\00:14:01.57
less tenseness inside. It can
even help with the obsessions,
00:14:01.57\00:14:06.68
but instead of doing it
naturally, these drugs are
actually plugging up the vacuum
00:14:06.68\00:14:13.15
cleaners in the nerve that
releases the serotonin. Now, as
00:14:13.15\00:14:17.99
a result of those plugged vacuum
cleaners -- In fact, the medical
term for this is Selective
00:14:17.99\00:14:24.09
Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor...
>> Okay. >> ...meaning that it's
00:14:24.09\00:14:28.10
inhibiting the
reuptake of serotonin... >> Yes.
00:14:28.10\00:14:30.57
>> ...so there's more serotonin
in the nerve, in the synapse, to
00:14:30.57\00:14:35.70
be able to produce an electrical
transmission, but when you
prevent the reuptake of it,
00:14:35.70\00:14:40.68
eventually you're gonna deplete
that very neuron of the
serotonin that needs
00:14:40.68\00:14:45.58
to be able to communicate with
the cell. So that's why these
00:14:45.58\00:14:49.85
drugs produce more of a
short-term benefit -- maybe six
months, nine months, and after
00:14:49.85\00:14:55.09
that, you're needing to increase
the dose, and you're needing to
use even more medicine,
00:14:55.09\00:14:59.36
and so that's why it's far
better to use natural approaches
to deactivate that gene
00:14:59.36\00:15:06.00
than it is the unnatural
approaches, which are gonna
produce some unwanted
00:15:06.00\00:15:11.21
side effects. >> Now, we're
gonna come back to this again.
00:15:11.21\00:15:14.64
We're gonna talk more. I just
wanted to have a little snippet
so somebody can really
00:15:14.64\00:15:19.05
sense that there's some hope
here, but when we talk about --
You've talked about
00:15:19.05\00:15:23.45
obsessive-compulsive disorder,
but maybe there's somebody out
there that has a very high
00:15:23.45\00:15:28.56
I.Q. or a great achiever. Can
they still be affected by this
-- depression, anxiety,
00:15:28.56\00:15:33.26
stress -- things that
we're talking about? >> Oh,
00:15:33.26\00:15:37.03
absolutely. In fact, the very
gene that we're talking about
tends to be associated with high
00:15:37.03\00:15:42.84
I.Q. and high achievers. So,
yes, they can be riddled with
depression and anxiety.
00:15:42.84\00:15:48.28
A lot of high-I.Q.,
high-achiever people have some
imbalance emotionally
00:15:48.28\00:15:53.75
in their life, and so there's
hope for them. Now, when we
00:15:53.75\00:15:58.75
balance this out, it doesn't
mean we're going to decrease
their I.Q. or achieving, but
00:15:58.75\00:16:03.12
we're going to balance them
emotionally so that they'll
actually even be a more
00:16:03.12\00:16:08.36
successful achiever because our
success in life has a lot more
to do with our emotional
00:16:08.36\00:16:14.00
intelligence than even our I.Q.,
and so once this is balanced
out, it's like a launching pad
00:16:14.00\00:16:20.98
for success. >> Now, this is
very exciting because, you know,
00:16:20.98\00:16:26.38
sometimes, again, we come back
to that idea -- "Well, you know,
my I.Q.'s not very high because
00:16:26.38\00:16:31.52
that's just the way I am, and I
can't control myself in these
areas because that's
00:16:31.52\00:16:36.52
just the way I am," but what
you're saying is, actually,
while that may be the way you
00:16:36.52\00:16:42.66
are now, there is the potential
to actually change. >> Exactly.
00:16:42.66\00:16:48.07
Exactly. We'll get into some
other genes that can inhibit our
I.Q. Undermethylation doesn't
00:16:48.07\00:16:53.78
inhibit our I.Q., per se, but
there are other genetic flaws
that will make you not even want
00:16:53.78\00:16:59.21
to be a reader, or reading is
difficult, and these are people
that are struggling through
00:16:59.21\00:17:04.35
school, and that genetic flaw
can also be corrected. >> Well,
that is just very good
00:17:04.35\00:17:10.53
news. Now, what about creative
people. Can creative people
00:17:10.53\00:17:14.60
experience this stress and
anxiety, this undermethylation?
00:17:14.60\00:17:18.20
>> Yes. Now, creative people
tend to have a different gene.
The ones who are more naturally
00:17:18.20\00:17:22.77
creative, these are your
artistic people. These are
00:17:22.77\00:17:27.31
people that would excel in music
or in art, and they're not
really interested in getting the
00:17:27.31\00:17:32.28
good grades like the
undermethylaters are, but those
individuals can actually
00:17:32.28\00:17:38.52
overmethylate. So only about
half -- a little less than half
of society, about 45%,
00:17:38.52\00:17:44.53
actually has normal methylation.
So about 38% are
undermethylaters, and about
00:17:44.53\00:17:51.73
another 15% or 20% are
overmethylaters, and
overmethylaters can have
00:17:51.73\00:17:58.07
their own issues that tend to go
with the artistic world. They
can have histrionic
00:17:58.07\00:18:04.75
personalities, they can have
very poor stress control when
things start to unfold,
00:18:04.75\00:18:12.25
and so we correct that in a
different way. We're actually
00:18:12.25\00:18:17.29
cleaning up their vacuum
cleaners in their neuron
naturally, and that can correct
00:18:17.29\00:18:21.96
the overmethylation issues. >>
Okay. So we've got kind of the
00:18:21.96\00:18:28.20
same issue of methylation,
but opposite poles. >> Opposite
00:18:28.20\00:18:31.44
poles. >> One under, one over.
>> Correct. >> So let's talk --
00:18:31.44\00:18:35.38
Because maybe there's -- 'Cause
now we've covered a vast piece
of ground here because
00:18:35.38\00:18:40.82
you've got the creative,
musical, artistic types that are
00:18:40.82\00:18:46.99
overmethylating, maybe. >>
Correct. >> Then you've got
00:18:46.99\00:18:49.89
individuals that are the
achievers -- your athletes,
those leaders that are driving
00:18:49.89\00:18:59.27
and things of that nature.
How -- And you're talking about
00:18:59.27\00:19:03.87
we can go to the doctor, we can
go to the pharmacy, we can take
00:19:03.87\00:19:09.58
a pill and feel better for a
period of time, or we can strive
to have this addressed and fixed
00:19:09.58\00:19:16.15
for the long-term. So let's talk
how can nutrition and lifestyle
00:19:16.15\00:19:21.26
-- we've talked about a few
things. How can that deactivate
00:19:21.26\00:19:26.96
these bad genes? What do we do
and what happens? >> Okay. Well,
in order to correct
00:19:26.96\00:19:31.43
undermethylation, we need to
have enough calcium and enough
magnesium around in the cell
00:19:31.43\00:19:38.24
membranes and also in the
communication aspect of things,
00:19:38.24\00:19:44.45
and so these are people that we
want to make sure they have
adequate Vitamin D levels, and
00:19:44.45\00:19:49.85
we want to make sure they have
enough absorbable calcium and
enough magnesium. In addition,
00:19:49.85\00:19:56.69
we talked about light therapy
and exercise. So if we put this
all together, it can make a
00:19:56.69\00:20:01.56
tremendous difference in
balancing the emotions of
00:20:01.56\00:20:06.47
undermethylater. someone who is
an >> So let's talk about the --
Because -- And we've talked
00:20:06.47\00:20:10.61
about this before 'cause I said,
you know, you're talking to a
Canadian audience, and we talk
00:20:10.61\00:20:15.78
about exercise, and there's a
good chunk of Canada that a good
part of the year is not a good
00:20:15.78\00:20:20.88
time to be outside, so to speak,
and I'll never forget the answer
00:20:20.88\00:20:24.39
you gave. So we'll go for it
again. What about those cold
months where it's hard to get
00:20:24.39\00:20:29.92
outside and exercise? >> Well,
there's no such thing as bad
00:20:29.92\00:20:33.46
weather, just bad clothing,
so... >> [ Chuckles ] I was
00:20:33.46\00:20:36.46
hoping that's what you would
say. That's what you said the
last time, and so we got to get
00:20:36.46\00:20:40.80
out there and exercise. How
much exercise should a person be
00:20:40.80\00:20:44.97
getting? >> Well, you know, if
they are a serious
undermethylater, they're gonna
00:20:44.97\00:20:50.81
need at least an hour of aerobic
exercise a day to completely
00:20:50.81\00:20:55.18
balance it out. >> Okay.
And let's define that. Aerobic
00:20:55.18\00:20:57.95
exercise -- what do you mean by
that? >> Well, that would be
like brisk walking or running.
00:20:57.95\00:21:02.96
You know, amazingly, when we
have people, like, train for a
half-marathon -- and,
00:21:02.96\00:21:07.40
you know, you can train for a
half-marathon in about 20 weeks.
00:21:07.40\00:21:11.87
There's a lot of correction of
undermethylation that takes
place just as a result
00:21:11.87\00:21:17.04
of the training for
that half-marathon. >> Okay.
00:21:17.04\00:21:20.08
>> And, you know, you're gonna
have to be exercising about an
hour a day for those training
00:21:20.08\00:21:25.88
episodes. >> Okay.
Now, let's talk about
00:21:25.88\00:21:28.72
the Vitamin D, calcium, and
magnesium. How can somebody get
00:21:28.72\00:21:32.69
their Vitamin D? How can
somebody get their calcium and
00:21:32.69\00:21:35.72
magnesium? >> Okay. Well,
Vitamin D we get from the sun,
but in the wintertime,
00:21:35.72\00:21:39.66
particularly up in Canada, you
can't get enough from the sun
even if you're outdoors
00:21:39.66\00:21:44.33
'cause it's not direct enough
sunlight, and so those
individuals may need to take
00:21:44.33\00:21:49.74
some Vitamin D supplements. The
only ones who don't are the ones
00:21:49.74\00:21:54.54
who are outdoors all the time in
the summertime, and Vitamin D is
stored, and so it can be stored
00:21:54.54\00:22:00.92
enough for the winter months,
but most Canadians, I've
noticed, have indoor jobs, and
00:22:00.92\00:22:06.45
so they're gonna need to
consider taking a Vitamin D
supplement or getting their
00:22:06.45\00:22:11.96
Vitamin D measure. >> Okay. >>
Calcium -- the best foods --
There's quite a few foods
00:22:11.96\00:22:16.10
that are high in calcium, but
your greens, in general. You
know, we think of cows' milk
00:22:16.10\00:22:21.34
having a lot of calcium, but
that's because those cows are
eating greens all day long,
00:22:21.34\00:22:26.24
and so kale, spinach, you know,
turnip greens, even dandelion
00:22:26.24\00:22:34.58
greens. You know, any of these
greens are just loaded with
calcium -- collards, by the way,
00:22:34.58\00:22:40.99
or lamb's-quarter. That's a
weed, actually, but it's loaded
00:22:40.99\00:22:46.86
with calcium. But then you don't
have to necessarily go for those
greens. Soybeans, for instance,
00:22:46.86\00:22:51.23
are a high source of calcium,
green soybeans. Sesame seeds are
00:22:51.23\00:22:56.07
a good source. Figs are actually
a good source of calcium, and
then beans. You know, baked
00:22:56.07\00:23:02.08
beans are gonna be a moderate
source of calcium. The grain
that's highest -- one of the
00:23:02.08\00:23:06.85
grain's that's highest in it is
quinoa. The actual highest grain
is amaranth, but you can also
00:23:06.85\00:23:12.99
design a diet that is pretty low
in calcium, and most people
aren't necessarily emphasizing
00:23:12.99\00:23:19.93
the foods I've mentioned, and
they can have a calcium deficit.
00:23:19.93\00:23:24.60
It's not only gonna result in
them undermethylating in a worse
00:23:24.60\00:23:29.84
way, but it's also going to end
up with osteoporosis as we're
leaching calcium from the bones
00:23:29.84\00:23:34.68
to try to get our blood calcium
high enough. >> Now, Dr. Nedley,
00:23:34.68\00:23:39.68
we're gonna have future shows.
We're gonna unpack this a little
bit more, but maybe just
00:23:39.68\00:23:43.45
quickly, in the last few moments
we have together, as we talk
about -- We've been talking
00:23:43.45\00:23:47.76
about brain health, brain
chemistry, optimal living.
What's a word of hope,
00:23:47.76\00:23:53.13
a word of encouragement you
can give to our viewers as they
00:23:53.13\00:23:57.17
think about these things? >>
Well, you're not stuck with the
brain you're born with,
00:23:57.17\00:24:01.14
and the brain can change in
very positive ways. Despite the
00:24:01.14\00:24:06.41
genetic flaws that we might have
inherited from mom and dad and
grandpa, there are things that
00:24:06.41\00:24:12.18
you can do now to turn off the
bad genes and actually augment
the good part of the brain, and
00:24:12.18\00:24:17.99
it doesn't change overnight, but
as we stick with the habits that
are gonna produce positive
00:24:17.99\00:24:23.66
brain changes, within 10 days
your brain can start to change,
and within 20 weeks, it can be
00:24:23.66\00:24:30.97
fully optimized. >>
Well, Dr. Nedley, that is very
00:24:30.97\00:24:35.30
encouraging. Let's pray together
as we end today's program.
Heavenly Father, we are so
00:24:35.30\00:24:41.74
thankful that You have made us
in a wonderful way. We're
thankful that our brains
00:24:41.74\00:24:48.58
are remarkable pieces of
machinery that can be molded and
formed and transformed,
00:24:48.58\00:24:55.69
and so now, Lord, I pray that
You would help us to make
decisions to transform
00:24:55.69\00:25:03.03
our brain to be optimized and
work for Your glory and honor.
00:25:03.03\00:25:08.67
We pray in Jesus'
name. Amen. >> Amen.
