>> Dear friends, thank
you so much for joining
00:02:01.22\00:02:03.18
"It Is Written
Canada." Today, I am joined by
00:02:03.18\00:02:06.12
Dr. Neil Nedley. Dr. Nedley,
thank you so much for being here
00:02:06.12\00:02:09.66
again. >> Thank you. It's great
to be with you again, Chris.
00:02:09.66\00:02:12.23
>> Now, just as a reminder to
our audience, Dr. Nedley is an
internal-medicine doctor.
00:02:12.23\00:02:17.83
He is an adjunct professor at
Loma Linda University, and he is
the author of four books --
00:02:17.83\00:02:23.57
"Depression: The Way Out,"
"Proof Positive," "The Lost Art
00:02:23.57\00:02:28.18
of Thinking," and "Optimizing
Your Brain." Now, Dr. Nedley,
let's talk a little bit about
00:02:28.18\00:02:33.42
this because you're a specialist
in internal medicine, and
actually we know each other
00:02:33.42\00:02:38.25
pretty well. Your real specialty
is in kind of the gut. Yet
you've done a lot of work
00:02:38.25\00:02:44.36
on the brain. How are the
gut and the brain connected?
00:02:44.36\00:02:47.76
And I know we could probably do
multiple shows on that, but how
are those two connected, and how
00:02:47.76\00:02:53.30
did you get into discovering
things on the brain and mental
00:02:53.30\00:02:58.57
function? >> Well, it's
a great question, Chris.
00:02:58.57\00:03:01.14
And actually if we were to
scrape the nerves off of the
00:03:01.14\00:03:06.18
bowel at the time of surgery
and just scrape them all off and
00:03:06.18\00:03:11.35
weigh them out, they would weigh
four times as much as the entire
00:03:11.35\00:03:15.96
spinal cord. And so, there's
quite a brain-G.I. connection.
00:03:15.96\00:03:21.86
And I notice that a lot in my
field of gastroenterology. And
00:03:21.86\00:03:28.84
so, many of the
difficult-to-treat G.I.
diseases, like Crohn's Disease
00:03:28.84\00:03:34.81
or ulcerative colitis or
irritable bowel syndrome,
actually often are best treated
00:03:34.81\00:03:40.18
by treating the brain. And then
the immune system can work a lot
better, and the connections with
00:03:40.18\00:03:45.12
the G.I. tract can work a lot
better. And so, for my bad G.I.
patients, often I needed to
00:03:45.12\00:03:52.49
treat their brain, and then
their G.I. problems cleared up.
And of course their emotions
00:03:52.49\00:03:57.13
were also balanced, which was a
win-win for everybody. >> And
the interesting thing --
00:03:57.13\00:04:01.34
and we're gonna get into this --
in treating their brain, often
you have to treat what they're
00:04:01.34\00:04:06.71
eating, and so it's just this
very interconnectivity in how
the body functions.
00:04:06.71\00:04:11.95
>> Exactly. >> Now, Dr. Nedley,
you are the president of Weimar
00:04:11.95\00:04:16.79
Institute. Why don't you talk a
little bit about Weimar, what
Weimar does, what's happening
00:04:16.79\00:04:21.89
there. I know our viewers would
love to hear about it. >> Well,
00:04:21.89\00:04:25.99
a lot of exciting things
happening at Weimar. In fact,
we're churning out a lot of what
00:04:25.99\00:04:30.87
we call peer-review research.
This is the top scientific
literature research.
00:04:30.87\00:04:34.64
In fact, virtually all of our
students, by the time they
graduate, they will have
00:04:34.64\00:04:39.61
published a paper in a medical
journal, even before they go to
00:04:39.61\00:04:44.41
medical school. And most doctors
don't even publish. They might
00:04:44.41\00:04:48.65
have done studies, but it's not
publishable studies. Most
doctors don't even publish
00:04:48.65\00:04:53.22
their entire career. But by the
time our students are going to
medical school, they've
00:04:53.22\00:04:59.09
already presented at places
like Harvard. In fact, this next
00:04:59.09\00:05:03.37
week, we have four students that
are going to Harvard University
and presenting studies that were
00:05:03.37\00:05:08.30
done at Weimar. And why
the world is very interested in
00:05:08.30\00:05:13.21
Weimar's research is because we
are finding out what we put into
our body and what we do with our
00:05:13.21\00:05:19.08
body has so much more to do with
our health than we previously
thought. And Weimar is
00:05:19.08\00:05:24.92
discovering exactly how much
those things play a role in
certain disease entities, as
00:05:24.92\00:05:31.83
well as in certain health
components, including emotional
health. So, about two-thirds of
00:05:31.83\00:05:37.60
what we publish has to do with
emotional health, things like
depression, anxiety,
00:05:37.60\00:05:43.71
intellectual functions. And
about a third of what we publish
has to do with circulation,
00:05:43.71\00:05:50.58
diabetes, heart disease,
obesity, those type of issues.
>> Well, that is exciting, and
00:05:50.58\00:05:55.02
if somebody wanted to learn more
about what's happening at Weimar
Institute, where might
00:05:55.02\00:05:58.29
they find information? >>
Weimar.edu will explain our
programs there, and then if
00:05:58.29\00:06:04.06
you're wanting to come as a
patient and get your physical
body or your brain optimized,
00:06:04.06\00:06:11.93
newstart.org. >> That is
fantastic. Now, Dr. Nedley, last
00:06:11.93\00:06:17.21
week we spent some time talking
about optimizing our brain
chemistry. We talked about the
00:06:17.21\00:06:24.38
issue of genetics, that the
reality is, is that sometimes we
feel -- and, actually, I joke
00:06:24.38\00:06:32.39
with my mom. I say, "When I was
made, I think the bad genetics
00:06:32.39\00:06:37.33
of my dad and the bad genetics
of my mom kind of wrapped up in
one package, and out I came."
00:06:37.33\00:06:43.00
It's a little joke that we have,
but what we were talking about,
especially in the context of
00:06:43.00\00:06:48.54
brain function, is even if we're
dealt a bad hand, so to speak,
in our genes, number one, it's
00:06:48.54\00:06:56.24
not much different than the rest
of the world, because everybody,
especially in the brain, has
00:06:56.24\00:07:02.45
some kind of genetic mutation.
Talk a little bit about that.
00:07:02.45\00:07:07.12
What's happening? What are we
seeing with genes and people's
brains and how brains are
00:07:07.12\00:07:12.36
functioning? >> Yeah, well, it's
called "genetic entropy."
Entropy means that over time,
00:07:12.36\00:07:16.73
things become more disorderly
and disorganized, and flaws
00:07:16.73\00:07:21.40
develop. This is why we have to
maintain cars, and we even have
to maintain houses.
00:07:21.40\00:07:26.34
If we just let them sit, they
tend to go into disarray. And
the same is true, actually,
00:07:26.34\00:07:32.38
with our genetic code. And so,
if we're a very healthy parent,
we might pass along 150
00:07:32.38\00:07:39.05
new mutations to our child. If
we're not a healthy parent,
we're gonna pass along over 300
00:07:39.05\00:07:45.23
new mutations. So, actually,
although you said it was a joke
00:07:45.23\00:07:49.43
with your mom and dad, there is
some element of truth. You
actually do have more
00:07:49.43\00:07:52.80
mutations than your mom or dad.
And I have more than my mom or
dad, and that's what we call
00:07:52.80\00:07:58.91
"genetic entropy." And so, these
things can actually result in
00:07:58.91\00:08:04.31
us, when these bad genes
interact with our environment,
it can actually result in
00:08:04.31\00:08:11.65
diseases and in some unwanted
personality and unwanted
emotional traits at times.
00:08:11.65\00:08:16.02
>> And so, the last time we were
together -- and if you missed
last week's show, you can go to
00:08:16.02\00:08:23.03
YouTube.com/IIWCanada and
there watch the archives of the
00:08:23.03\00:08:27.70
program. But, Dr. Nedley, you
were talking about these
characteristics, these traits of
00:08:27.70\00:08:35.18
individuals that are
competitive, that are maybe a
little obsessive and compulsive,
00:08:35.18\00:08:42.72
very driven individuals often
are suffering from a genetic
00:08:42.72\00:08:49.36
mutation. What was that genetic
mutation? What does it mean? How
is it working in that
00:08:49.36\00:08:53.76
individual? >> Yeah, it's called
"undermethylation," and so it
00:08:53.76\00:08:58.27
produces low serotonin activity
and low dopamine activity. And
so these individuals, in
00:08:58.27\00:09:04.27
addition to the traits that
you mentioned, they tend to have
00:09:04.27\00:09:09.28
high libido. These are the
people that may not be as
faithful as people who are
00:09:09.28\00:09:15.35
normal methylators. And they
also have a high tendency for
addictions, as well.
00:09:15.35\00:09:19.95
Because they have this calm
exterior and tense interior,
they tend to reach for ways of
00:09:19.95\00:09:27.30
self-medicating. And so, this is
why even those that are having
00:09:27.30\00:09:32.83
issues with addictions that can
be solved, and their desire to
self-medicate can go away once
00:09:32.83\00:09:38.37
we balance that brain chemistry.
>> Okay. So, just as a little
00:09:38.37\00:09:42.81
bit more review on that, if
you're listening to that, you're
saying, "Yeah, I'm a very
00:09:42.81\00:09:47.88
competitive person" or "I'm
suffering with addictions, and I
really want my brain to work
00:09:47.88\00:09:52.42
more properly," there's actually
hope, and that hope does not
have to come in the form of
00:09:52.42\00:09:57.83
a pill. But actually three very
practical suggestions, and we'll
00:09:57.83\00:10:01.00
see if I'm good at
remembering them. >> Okay.
00:10:01.00\00:10:03.20
>> Light therapy, which getting
a lot of sunshine. And even
those of us in Canada,
00:10:03.20\00:10:07.64
trying to get out there in the
summer and really absorbing that
sun, getting in the sun.
00:10:07.64\00:10:12.31
But if you can't get the sun,
there are actually light-therapy
devices that can be used to get
00:10:12.31\00:10:17.61
that light that you need.
>> Correct. >> Then, the second
00:10:17.61\00:10:21.85
thing is exercise. >> Yes.
>> And using your classic line,
00:10:21.85\00:10:24.95
that "There's no such thing
as bad weather. There's just bad
00:10:24.95\00:10:29.39
clothes." And so, we need to get
out and exercise -- an hour of
aerobic exercise a day.
00:10:29.39\00:10:34.36
>> Yes. >> And then the
last thing you talked about is
00:10:34.36\00:10:37.30
getting a right level of Vitamin
D and calcium and magnesium. Did
00:10:37.30\00:10:40.94
I get those? >> Correct. Yes,
very good. All right, that
brain's working. >> All right,
00:10:40.94\00:10:45.97
yeah, yeah, we're good. Now, and
just as a review, in order for
somebody to get the
00:10:45.97\00:10:50.55
right amount of Vitamin D and
their calcium and magnesium,
maybe just a few points to help
00:10:50.55\00:10:55.18
that person -- they can go to
the show and review it -- but
just a few points on how to get
00:10:55.18\00:10:59.79
enough Vitamin D, calcium, and
magnesium. >> Well, you have to
00:10:59.79\00:11:03.99
get enough sun to be able to tan
a little bit, and that'll tell
us that they're making Vitamin
00:11:03.99\00:11:09.13
D. In the wintertime, you might
actually have to take some
Vitamin D supplements if you
00:11:09.13\00:11:14.17
didn't get enough in the summer
to last you over. And then, with
00:11:14.17\00:11:18.94
calcium, those are gonna be your
greens, soybeans. There are
grains like amaranth
00:11:18.94\00:11:23.18
and quinoa that are high in it,
figs, sesame seeds, and legumes.
And then, on the magnesium side
00:11:23.18\00:11:31.15
of things, more of your seeds,
like pumpkin seeds, flaxseed.
Hempseeds are a good source, as
00:11:31.15\00:11:38.66
well, and your legumes also tend
to be a good source of
magnesium, as well.
00:11:38.66\00:11:44.40
>> And we've not spent a lot of
time talking about this, but it
sounds very much, as you're
00:11:44.40\00:11:47.67
talking about those things, a
very plant-based or plant-strong
diet is going to really resolve
00:11:47.67\00:11:54.78
a number of those issues. Am
I hearing you correctly there?
00:11:54.78\00:11:57.75
>> That's correct, yes. >> Okay.
Now, there are people on the
00:11:57.75\00:12:01.72
other side of the pole. We've
talked about undermethylization
00:12:01.72\00:12:06.79
or undermethylating. What is the
opposite problem that exists?
00:12:06.79\00:12:11.49
>> The opposite problem
is overmethylation. >> Okay.
00:12:11.49\00:12:15.36
>> And with overmethylation,
these people are not so much
00:12:15.36\00:12:20.70
into achieving. In fact, they
tend not to do well in school
with their GPA. But they tend to
00:12:20.70\00:12:27.81
be more naturally artistic.
These are the ones that music
comes very easy to them, and
00:12:27.81\00:12:35.18
they like the musical-artistic
expressions, or art comes very
00:12:35.18\00:12:41.59
easy to them. They also, unlike
the undermethylators that tend
to be almost antisocial, the
00:12:41.59\00:12:47.73
overmethylators are naturally
social people. In fact, it's
00:12:47.73\00:12:53.27
nice to have an overmethylator
as a neighbor because they also
tend to be more naturally caring
00:12:53.27\00:12:58.94
of others. They tend to be more
naturally empathetic. And so,
they're gonna be your
00:12:58.94\00:13:03.24
helpful neighbor. They're gonna
want to make sure you're doing
00:13:03.24\00:13:07.32
okay. And they may be on the
artistic side, as well. >> Okay.
00:13:07.32\00:13:11.89
So, now, let's talk a little bit
about that. What is -- and let's
00:13:11.89\00:13:20.53
just start because there's a
number of people that are
saying, "That's me.
00:13:20.53\00:13:23.57
I'm that creative person. I love
art. I'm the social butterfly,
00:13:23.57\00:13:28.20
but I really struggle as an
underachiever." Let's talk about
00:13:28.20\00:13:35.61
creativity. What really is
creativity? What's happening
00:13:35.61\00:13:39.61
with creativity? >> Well, you
have to have the front part of
your brain working to be
00:13:39.61\00:13:45.52
creative and empathetic,
actually. And this is an
important part of what makes us
00:13:45.52\00:13:51.43
a human being. If the frontal
lobe gets strengthened, our
creativity goes up, and our love
00:13:51.43\00:13:57.70
of learning goes up. Now, what
is creativity? Creativity is
00:13:57.70\00:14:02.70
actually being completely
original, meaning that there
might be pieces of it that
00:14:02.70\00:14:09.18
others put together, but you're
coming up with something that is
completely original, as far as
00:14:09.18\00:14:14.68
the combination is concerned.
And that combination is useful
00:14:14.68\00:14:18.72
to others. There's a lot of
people that pride themselves in
being creative in today's world,
00:14:18.72\00:14:24.09
but they're just bizarre. [ Both
laugh ] They're not really being
00:14:24.09\00:14:27.60
useful to anybody, per se, by
their bizarreness. But a
creative person is going
00:14:27.60\00:14:33.47
to actually have that be useful
to others. And this is why
00:14:33.47\00:14:39.41
creative people can be in the
top echelons of society, because
if you create something that is
00:14:39.41\00:14:46.28
useful to others and then put it
into a manufacturing type of
business, you can go from the
00:14:46.28\00:14:52.39
lowest socioeconomic status to
the highest socioeconomic status
in a matter of a few years.
00:14:52.39\00:14:57.53
And so, overmethylators can be
wealthy individuals as a result
of their artistic or creative
00:14:57.53\00:15:05.67
achievements. >> And so, now,
somebody who is overmethylating
00:15:05.67\00:15:13.54
in this creative realm but
really having achievement
issues, a lot of times or -- I
00:15:13.54\00:15:20.95
don't want to say a lot. But
those individuals are often put
on medications to help them
00:15:20.95\00:15:25.92
in this area of underachieving
and things like that. Let's talk
00:15:25.92\00:15:30.19
about that. What kind of
medications are these
individuals being put on, and
00:15:30.19\00:15:35.03
what's really happening when
those medications are
prescribed? >> Well, it's not
00:15:35.03\00:15:39.60
just the underachievement that
tends to bother the
overmethylators. It also tends
00:15:39.60\00:15:44.31
to be poor stress control. And
these are people that under
significant amounts of stress
00:15:44.31\00:15:49.98
can even kind of go into rapid
speech, pressured speech, almost
a little bit what we would call
00:15:49.98\00:15:55.62
"hypomania" or mania. They might
be a little prone to bipolar,
00:15:55.62\00:16:01.42
for instance. And these
individuals, when they present
themselves with their stress and
00:16:01.42\00:16:09.36
the emotional issues that they
tend to have, they are often put
on what's called "SSRIs."
00:16:09.36\00:16:15.77
That is kind of your first-line
antidepressant drug. But for an
00:16:15.77\00:16:22.14
overmethylator, if they're put
on an SSRI, they're gonna get
worse. And so, within a few
00:16:22.14\00:16:26.65
days, they're saying, "Doctor,
my stress level is worse. I
00:16:26.65\00:16:31.22
can't take this." And that's
because they actually don't need
more help with their serotonin
00:16:31.22\00:16:38.06
activity. They've got plenty of
it already. And that's why it's
00:16:38.06\00:16:42.86
important. You know, as a
physician, I don't like the most
common approach to emotional
00:16:42.86\00:16:50.47
problems, and that is, "Try
this" and then "Try that." And
so, they're tried on a lot
00:16:50.47\00:16:56.14
of things. I like to be able to
know precisely what I'm dealing
00:16:56.14\00:17:00.12
with with the brain chemistry.
And then I know right away an
SSRI is going to actually make
00:17:00.12\00:17:05.29
this person worse. And so, then
they might be put on yet another
00:17:05.29\00:17:09.86
SSRI and get worse. What's
happening with the SSRI is it's
00:17:09.86\00:17:13.53
plugging up the serotonin
reuptake inhibitors. They
already have enough serotonin
00:17:13.53\00:17:18.30
activity, and so now it makes
too much serotonin. So, now
they're off the charts as far as
00:17:18.30\00:17:23.34
their anxiety. They can even get
headaches and those type of
issues, and it might even drive
00:17:23.34\00:17:28.84
them more into mania. And so,
for those individuals, we don't
need more serotonin
00:17:28.84\00:17:33.55
activity. We need better vacuum
cleaners to be able to reuptake
00:17:33.55\00:17:38.62
that serotonin back into the
neuron. And so, we treat them
00:17:38.62\00:17:42.56
differently. >> Okay. So, what
can a person that's listening,
watching right now,
00:17:42.56\00:17:48.00
saying, "You're describing
me." How can they address this
00:17:48.00\00:17:54.54
overmethylating? >> Well, the
best way of addressing it is
getting plenty of folate.
00:17:54.54\00:17:58.97
Folate actually helps with
the reuptake and helps with the
00:17:58.97\00:18:06.01
overmethylation. The other thing
that they need is more choline.
It turns out your artistic type
00:18:06.01\00:18:11.49
of individuals, one of the
reasons why they tended not to
do as well in school is because
00:18:11.49\00:18:17.23
the focus and concentration part
of things were not there. >>
00:18:17.23\00:18:21.76
Okay. >> And so, we want to
improve their focus and
concentration, and that is
00:18:21.76\00:18:27.40
through choline. And so, things
that augment our ability to make
acetylcholine or get the
00:18:27.40\00:18:33.38
nutrients together to make
choline will help their
underachievement part of things,
00:18:33.38\00:18:39.21
and the folate will help their
emotions. >> And now let's talk
about this just a little bit,
00:18:39.21\00:18:44.09
then, because maybe an
individual's saying, "Oh, but if
I do these things, I'll be less
00:18:44.09\00:18:48.96
creative." Is that what's gonna
happen? >> No, not true. That's
the nice thing about
00:18:48.96\00:18:53.29
treating things naturally. Their
creativity is still going to be
00:18:53.29\00:18:57.13
there. And their artistic
ability is still going to be
there. But now they're gonna be
00:18:57.13\00:19:02.60
able to be managed emotionally.
It'll be far easier for them to
manage their emotions.
00:19:02.60\00:19:07.51
And they're also going to
actually improve overall their
creativity because if you have a
00:19:07.51\00:19:13.01
creative side of you, and you
can have focus and
concentration, it's like, "Wow,
00:19:13.01\00:19:17.95
now we might be able to put our
creative things into a
manufacturing business and then
00:19:17.95\00:19:23.73
make more income as a result."
So, once we balance their
brains, we launch them for far
00:19:23.73\00:19:30.33
better success. >> So, let's
talk about that folate and the
00:19:30.33\00:19:35.14
choline. And one of the things I
appreciate so much in talking
with you, Dr. Nedley, is you
00:19:35.14\00:19:38.64
don't tell people to pick up
their purse and head down to the
00:19:38.64\00:19:43.81
supplement store. With the
Vitamin D obviously there's
sometimes that supplementation
00:19:43.81\00:19:48.22
is needed, but your solutions
are always seemingly tasty
solutions. And so, how might an
00:19:48.22\00:19:53.32
individual get more folate into
their diet? >> Well, folate is
going to be in plants.
00:19:53.32\00:19:58.99
There's a little bit in animal
foods, a few micrograms, and
you'd have to eat almost a whole
00:19:58.99\00:20:06.13
cow to get enough folate for how
much you need in a day. >> Okay.
00:20:06.13\00:20:11.11
>> And so, this is where we
want to emphasize certain plant
00:20:11.11\00:20:14.78
foods. So, the highest source of
folate is actually black-eyed
peas. Lentils are right up there
00:20:14.78\00:20:20.95
with it, as well. Okra is
a very good source of folate.
00:20:20.95\00:20:25.02
And then your greens are going
to be a good source of folate,
00:20:25.02\00:20:30.49
as well. And legumes are pretty
good in it, as well. And this is
00:20:30.49\00:20:35.10
one of the reasons why for those
that are overmethylators, we
notice fairly quickly, probably
00:20:35.10\00:20:40.44
within two weeks, if they
actually switch over to a
plant-based diet that's gonna
00:20:40.44\00:20:46.21
have adequate folate and the
adequate what we talked about
earlier, choline -- choline and
00:20:46.21\00:20:52.88
betaine -- those individuals
within two weeks of going
vegetarian will notice a
00:20:52.88\00:21:00.12
dramatic improvement in their
emotions. >> That is phenomenal.
Now let's talk about that
00:21:00.12\00:21:02.92
choline. What are
some sources of choline?
00:21:02.92\00:21:05.53
>> Okay, choline is going to be
-- quinoa is actually the
highest source of choline and
00:21:05.53\00:21:13.03
betaine combined. And your
greens are also going to be
great sources of choline
00:21:13.03\00:21:20.24
and betaine. So, mustard greens,
spinach -- these types of foods
00:21:20.24\00:21:26.08
are going to be great for
someone who's an overmethylator.
>> You know, the interesting
00:21:26.08\00:21:31.19
thing is, is that some of the
same foods that will help an
undermethylator are the same
00:21:31.19\00:21:37.03
exact foods that help an
overmethylator. >> Yeah, for
00:21:37.03\00:21:41.56
different reasons. >> For
different reasons and for the
different nutrients, which I
00:21:41.56\00:21:46.47
think the importance of what
you're coming across and sharing
is that this idea of a
00:21:46.47\00:21:53.38
plant-based diet is really gonna
fulfill a lot of the nutrients
that will actually help overcome
00:21:53.38\00:22:00.42
some of the genetic problems
that you have. >> Exactly. Now,
the one area that I should
00:22:00.42\00:22:05.15
mention where an overmethylator
will notice a medicine actually
helping -- and this is where I
00:22:05.15\00:22:11.73
kind of cringe -- because
overmethylators, with their
pressured speech and their
00:22:11.73\00:22:16.80
artistic ability, if the doctor
prescribes them Xanax or
Lorazepam or benzos, they'll
00:22:16.80\00:22:22.84
feel at peace with the world,
and they'll say, "Ah, this is
the way I'm supposed to feel.
00:22:22.84\00:22:28.98
I feel so much better. I don't
have the stress. I don't have
00:22:28.98\00:22:33.95
the pressures anymore." But
those benzos are gonna actually
decrease their ability
00:22:33.95\00:22:38.35
to make GABA -- in fact, shut it
down. And so, if they try to get
00:22:38.35\00:22:41.92
off these drugs, first, they'll
need more and more over time.
But if they try to get off it,
00:22:41.92\00:22:45.86
it's like ten times the anxiety
they had before. And the natural
00:22:45.86\00:22:51.63
way of getting those benefits is
actually switching over to a
diet such as we've explained.
00:22:51.63\00:22:56.30
You won't get the buzz effect
the first dose, like they do
with the benzos, but within two
00:22:56.30\00:23:02.24
weeks, their emotions will be
controlled as if they're on
benzos, but now no frontal-lobe
00:23:02.24\00:23:08.75
suppression with the diet
method. The benzos are gonna
00:23:08.75\00:23:13.22
make you feel better, but
they're gonna actually decrease
your artistic ability because
00:23:13.22\00:23:17.23
they're suppressing the frontal
lobe. They're helping the
anxiety part, but benzos are a
00:23:17.23\00:23:20.96
frontal-lobe suppressant. And
so, these individuals, as they
prepare to come to our
00:23:20.96\00:23:26.17
program, we actually put them on
a regimen where they can start
to wean their benzos.
00:23:26.17\00:23:31.34
And then, when they come to our
program and get this better diet
and all the other things that
00:23:31.34\00:23:36.64
help with overmethylation,
they're able to much more easily
get off their benzos and be
00:23:36.64\00:23:41.58
controlled. >> And so, that's
interesting. You were talking
00:23:41.58\00:23:44.95
about it. So, there may be cases
where individuals in
consultation with their
00:23:44.95\00:23:51.13
physician, there may be
individuals that need some type
of medication initially. But in
00:23:51.13\00:23:55.76
this switch to a plant-based
diet, where for an
undermethylator, they're getting
00:23:55.76\00:24:00.67
that folate and the choline. For
the overmethylator, they're
getting the Vitamin D, the
00:24:00.67\00:24:04.81
calcium, and the magnesium -- >>
Actually, the other way around.
00:24:04.81\00:24:09.51
>> Oh, I'm sorry. I flipped
that. But so, somebody who's
00:24:09.51\00:24:14.08
overmethylating, getting their
folate and their choline. >>
00:24:14.08\00:24:17.72
Correct. >> The undermethylator
getting their Vitamin D, their
calcium and magnesium, they can
00:24:17.72\00:24:23.69
actually see a weaning effect,
and maybe somebody's even
actually already on medication,
00:24:23.69\00:24:29.80
they can be weaned off those
medications, and they will see
just tremendous results from
00:24:29.80\00:24:35.84
this switch in their diet. >>
Actually, yeah, they'll feel
better off the medicines, given
00:24:35.84\00:24:42.14
enough time, than they ever did
on the medicines. And of course
00:24:42.14\00:24:46.98
they won't have the side
effects. >> And what -- at the
end of this, how does this
00:24:46.98\00:24:51.92
affect the frontal lobe? How
does this all bring things
together so somebody can have
00:24:51.92\00:24:56.89
optimal brain function? >>
Well, it actually augments it
00:24:56.89\00:25:01.20
significantly. Now, people with
overmethylators, they do have
00:25:01.20\00:25:04.77
frontal lobes. Otherwise, they
wouldn't have been able to be
creative, and they wouldn't be
00:25:04.77\00:25:08.90
able to have empathy. But they
have more selective benefits in
their frontal lobe.
00:25:08.90\00:25:12.74
By treating the overmethylation,
we now pick up the other areas
of the frontal lobe that were
00:25:12.74\00:25:19.15
problematic, particularly the
focus, the concentration, the
00:25:19.15\00:25:24.49
achieving part. And then, once
they're able to focus and
concentrate, that's the same
00:25:24.49\00:25:30.19
area of their brain that's
utilized to manage distressing
emotions. So, as we improve that
00:25:30.19\00:25:35.16
focus and concentration, they
now are able to manage
distressing emotions, plus have
00:25:35.16\00:25:41.04
the benefits of the genetic
blessing that they've had, being
able to be creative and also
00:25:41.04\00:25:48.41
having that more natural
empathy. >> And, Dr. Nedley, in
the last two minutes that we
00:25:48.41\00:25:54.05
have together here, one of the
things I can't help but think of
is I know for so many people,
00:25:54.05\00:26:00.69
when we talk about the area of
spirituality -- reading their
Bible, listening to a sermon,
00:26:00.69\00:26:06.36
listening to a Bible study,
whatever it may be -- there's
such great difficulty sometimes
00:26:06.36\00:26:11.87
in being able to focus. And as
we talk about this optimizing
your brain chemistry,
00:26:11.87\00:26:17.67
I can see so clearly that this
helps that area of focus. >>
00:26:17.67\00:26:22.61
Absolutely. >> Maybe talk a
little bit about what we've been
talking about and how it helps
00:26:22.61\00:26:28.92
in that area of spiritual
growth. >> Well, focus and
concentration is key in order to
00:26:28.92\00:26:33.46
be able to grow spiritually.
But, interestingly, as we
improve the spiritual part of
00:26:33.46\00:26:38.46
our brain, which is the front
part of our brain, it helps to
balance our frontal lobe
00:26:38.46\00:26:44.33
significantly. And this is
why anyone who wants to achieve
00:26:44.33\00:26:50.11
optimal brain chemistry, the
spiritual can't be neglected.
And this is an area
00:26:50.11\00:26:54.54
unfortunately in our society
where we're neglecting it more
00:26:54.54\00:26:59.18
than ever before. And it's one
of the reasons why we have more
mental illness than ever before.
00:26:59.18\00:27:03.89
And so, having a congruent
spirituality, being able to have
a devotional life, where we're
00:27:03.89\00:27:10.93
centering in on some nice,
abstract themes, like love and
kindness and truth and
00:27:10.93\00:27:17.90
principles, those types of
things are gonna actually
enhance the front part of our
00:27:17.90\00:27:23.44
brain for both undermethylators,
as well as overmethylators. >>
And with that, Dr. Nedley, we
00:27:23.44\00:27:29.11
are out of time. And I'm
wondering. Would you be willing
00:27:29.11\00:27:33.62
to pray as we close off our
program? >> Absolutely. Thank
you. Father in heaven, we thank
00:27:33.62\00:27:38.62
You for these wonderful brains
that You have created us with.
We also thank You that You've
00:27:38.62\00:27:44.73
not only created these brains,
but You have shown through
science and inspiration how our
00:27:44.73\00:27:49.93
brains can be optimized. And we
pray that each viewer here would
learn what is best to
00:27:49.93\00:27:57.24
optimize their brain. We thank
You that we're not stuck with
the brain that we're
00:27:57.24\00:28:02.74
born with, with all of our
mutations, but we can actually
shut off the bad genes through
00:28:02.74\00:28:08.02
good nutrition and lifestyle and
spiritual principles to achieve
the full blessing of life that
00:28:08.02\00:28:15.52
you would have each one of
us achieve. And we thank You for
00:28:15.52\00:28:20.53
hearing and answering this
prayer. In Jesus' name, amen. >>
00:28:20.53\00:28:25.97
Amen. My dear friend, isn't it
amazing that we are fearfully
and wonderfully made, created in
00:28:25.97\00:28:33.54
