Hi friends, and welcome to
another edition of NEWSTART Now.
00:00:23.48\00:00:27.63
I'm your host, Ron Giannoni,
and with us in the studio today
00:00:28.18\00:00:31.54
is a good friend of
mine, Anthony Acampora.
00:00:32.09\00:00:36.21
Now Anthony, this is
his second trip here.
00:00:36.66\00:00:39.06
So we're going
to show a clip now
00:00:40.69\00:00:43.33
of when he just
arrived the second time.
00:00:43.34\00:00:46.36
I'm here because
of excessive weight.
00:00:48.00\00:00:50.75
I'm up to about 323 pounds,
00:00:52.39\00:00:55.06
I would spend 10 to 12
hours a day at the casino,
00:00:55.39\00:00:59.24
and I'd be drinking beer
basically the whole time.
00:01:00.27\00:01:02.87
So that's why I put
on a lot of the weight.
00:01:03.63\00:01:06.42
Probably about 30 pounds
of this is from the drinking.
00:01:06.87\00:01:10.54
I'm looking to lose
about 25 to 30 pounds.
00:01:10.60\00:01:13.33
I think I can
do that in 18 days.
00:01:13.78\00:01:15.72
I'm starting off
walking a lot more
00:01:16.27\00:01:19.03
than I was last
time in the beginning.
00:01:19.04\00:01:21.84
I didn't start
walking a lot until
00:01:22.24\00:01:23.84
about the third or
fourth day last time.
00:01:23.85\00:01:25.75
This time I
already started walking.
00:01:26.09\00:01:27.54
I walked a mile
and a half yesterday,
00:01:27.55\00:01:29.09
two miles today already.
00:01:29.48\00:01:30.51
So I want to
definitely work on the weight.
00:01:30.66\00:01:33.09
I want to get my blood
pressure down to normal again.
00:01:33.10\00:01:35.78
Last time I was on
blood pressure medication,
00:01:36.24\00:01:38.39
and within 3 days I
was off the medication,
00:01:38.81\00:01:39.81
and my blood
pressure was normal,
00:01:41.60\00:01:44.03
just in about 3 or 4 days.
00:01:44.48\00:01:45.63
So I want to be
able to do that again,
00:01:46.12\00:01:48.54
and also just
mentally clear my head,
00:01:50.03\00:01:52.24
be able to focus more,
get my concentration back,
00:01:53.42\00:01:57.15
because that's kind of clouded.
00:01:58.00\00:01:59.51
Those are the
three main objectives.
00:02:01.48\00:02:04.72
Welcome back
friends, and in our studio,
00:02:06.39\00:02:10.12
my friend Anthony Acamporo.
00:02:10.13\00:02:12.51
This is my "goombadah",
as we say in Italian.
00:02:12.78\00:02:15.66
This is
Anthony's second trip here.
00:02:16.66\00:02:19.00
Perhaps you can tell
us, this second time around,
00:02:19.36\00:02:23.66
Why did you come
back to NEWSTART?
00:02:24.12\00:02:26.12
Well basically I came back
00:02:26.69\00:02:29.27
because I went off the program.
00:02:29.30\00:02:30.75
I was on it for
about a month or so.
00:02:30.84\00:02:32.87
I ended up going off.
00:02:33.18\00:02:34.36
When I left here I
was on it about a month.
00:02:34.87\00:02:37.27
I just gained
all the weight back,
00:02:38.18\00:02:39.84
plus another 15 or so pounds.
00:02:40.00\00:02:42.51
So I definitely felt
the need to come back here.
00:02:43.03\00:02:46.54
I knew this is a place
where I could get the weight off
00:02:47.09\00:02:49.60
and get my blood
pressure under control.
00:02:49.61\00:02:51.51
So those were
the two main factors.
00:02:53.15\00:02:56.36
And why did you
choose the NEWSTART program?
00:02:56.69\00:02:59.63
Do you remember
back the first time...?
00:02:59.78\00:03:01.69
My
brother-in-law told me about it.
00:03:01.84\00:03:03.33
He was really
big on this program.
00:03:03.36\00:03:04.81
He heard of someone
that came through here that
00:03:05.06\00:03:08.36
actually had cancer,
00:03:08.42\00:03:09.66
and was kind of written off
00:03:09.67\00:03:11.36
and told to
just go home and die.
00:03:11.42\00:03:13.81
And she's still alive today.
00:03:14.30\00:03:17.27
That was five years ago.
00:03:17.30\00:03:18.69
And he was extremely impressed.
00:03:19.06\00:03:21.33
He knew that person very well.
00:03:21.39\00:03:24.03
It was a very
close friend of his.
00:03:24.21\00:03:25.78
So that's why he was
really big on the program.
00:03:26.36\00:03:30.54
Now, let me say to our
friends that are watching,
00:03:31.27\00:03:34.48
The first time
Anthony was here I had
00:03:34.49\00:03:37.03
asked him to come on
the NEWSTART Now program.
00:03:37.09\00:03:40.24
He said, "Oh yeah, I will."
00:03:40.36\00:03:41.54
But the last
minute he backed out.
00:03:41.60\00:03:44.42
So this morning he's telling me,
00:03:44.60\00:03:46.18
"I'm not sure I
want to do this."
00:03:46.42\00:03:48.03
Right? Yes.
00:03:48.15\00:03:49.24
Are you feeling
nervous? A little bit.
00:03:49.25\00:03:51.21
But isn't it better now
that we've gotten started?
00:03:51.22\00:03:52.75
Yeah, it's better.
- Everything alright?
00:03:52.76\00:03:54.36
Maybe you can move
your hands a little bit.
00:03:54.54\00:03:56.66
Sometimes we've got
to talk with our hands.
00:03:57.30\00:03:59.00
Anyway, you're doing good.
00:03:59.18\00:04:00.66
Tell us how many
pounds you've lost.
00:04:00.67\00:04:02.72
15.8 so far.
00:04:03.09\00:04:04.75
You've lost almost 16 pounds and
00:04:04.87\00:04:06.75
you've been here how many days?
00:04:06.76\00:04:08.51
Eight days.
00:04:09.21\00:04:10.33
So are you going to hit
your goal of 25-30 pounds?
00:04:10.60\00:04:14.18
Yes. I should fall right in at
about 28 if I keep up this pace.
00:04:14.60\00:04:18.45
Yeah. Now, I see
a difference in you.
00:04:18.57\00:04:21.00
We've been talking for
about a year on and off.
00:04:21.21\00:04:23.81
We'd text each other.
00:04:24.24\00:04:25.48
But I see a
difference from day one.
00:04:25.60\00:04:27.48
What is different? What has
00:04:27.78\00:04:29.54
happened that this time,
00:04:29.69\00:04:31.48
maybe that's different from
the last time you were here?
00:04:31.63\00:04:34.60
Well, this time I'm
a lot more dedicated.
00:04:35.09\00:04:37.66
Last time there
was a group of people
00:04:37.69\00:04:40.75
that weren't as dedicated,
00:04:41.00\00:04:42.39
and I kind of
fell into that crowd.
00:04:42.45\00:04:44.27
Those were the
people that I was kind of
00:04:44.48\00:04:46.39
hanging out
with when I was here,
00:04:46.40\00:04:48.00
and it took me away from
the program a little bit.
00:04:48.24\00:04:51.87
This time I'm totally focused.
00:04:52.12\00:04:54.33
I'm going to all the lectures,
going to all the meetings,
00:04:54.36\00:04:57.21
and walking, doing a
tremendous amount of walking,
00:04:57.51\00:05:03.00
and just really
focused on the program.
00:05:03.09\00:05:06.24
Okay. I want to talk a
little bit about your gambling,
00:05:06.25\00:05:09.63
because you shared with me,
00:05:09.66\00:05:11.42
and it blew my
mind when you told me
00:05:11.51\00:05:14.30
how much you lost that one day.
00:05:14.31\00:05:16.21
Can you tell us this:
00:05:16.24\00:05:17.48
Gambling - is it a
habit? Is it a sickness?
00:05:17.60\00:05:21.51
What's up with that?
00:05:21.57\00:05:22.60
It's a compulsion.
00:05:22.63\00:05:23.78
I mean, it's
definitely something
00:05:23.79\00:05:28.87
that is hard to get away from.
00:05:29.03\00:05:31.18
It's hard to just walk away.
00:05:31.45\00:05:33.15
It's obviously hard to
just walk away when you win.
00:05:33.16\00:05:35.66
If people could do that,
00:05:36.21\00:05:39.06
there'd be a lot of
rich people out there.
00:05:39.07\00:05:41.54
Didn't you have
almost $200,000 on the table
00:05:42.36\00:05:45.78
at one time? You
could have just walked away?
00:05:45.84\00:05:48.24
I had $187,000 that I won,
00:05:48.42\00:05:51.03
and yeah, I didn't
walk away. I ended up
00:05:51.48\00:05:54.51
continuing to play,
00:05:54.54\00:05:55.84
well into the night
and into the next day,
00:05:56.24\00:05:59.09
and I ended up
losing the whole amount.
00:05:59.42\00:06:01.63
And while you were there
you were drinking excessively.
00:06:01.87\00:06:04.81
Yeah. It got to the point
00:06:04.82\00:06:07.06
where I was
drinking just to play,
00:06:07.12\00:06:08.75
because I would get so
anxious when I was playing,
00:06:08.78\00:06:11.00
after losing these big amounts
00:06:11.03\00:06:12.69
and playing for
really large amounts.
00:06:12.78\00:06:15.12
I would drink just so I
would be calm enough to play.
00:06:15.27\00:06:19.66
So the drinking
went hand in hand.
00:06:20.03\00:06:22.21
First it was drinking to....
00:06:22.33\00:06:25.57
It wasn't really drinking
just to be able to play.
00:06:26.12\00:06:30.54
It was more just
drinking because I was there
00:06:30.57\00:06:32.69
and wanted the
excitement of everything.
00:06:32.78\00:06:34.63
But it got to the
point where the drinking was,
00:06:34.84\00:06:38.24
it was excessive.
00:06:38.39\00:06:40.21
Now, you also told me
you had been depressed.
00:06:41.18\00:06:44.36
Was this because
you had lost $187,000?
00:06:44.60\00:06:48.15
Was it something you had
been dealing with a long time?
00:06:48.24\00:06:50.84
Do you notice any
change since you've been back?
00:06:51.24\00:06:55.09
Yeah. The depression I
got about three years ago,
00:06:55.18\00:06:58.66
really bad
depression and anxiety.
00:06:59.09\00:07:04.21
I've been dealing
with it for a while now,
00:07:04.57\00:07:07.87
and it definitely got
worse with the gambling.
00:07:08.12\00:07:12.69
That did not help at all.
00:07:12.78\00:07:14.84
It does not help
your mind at all,
00:07:15.00\00:07:16.66
especially when you
start losing these amounts.
00:07:16.81\00:07:20.21
So since I've been here,
00:07:20.33\00:07:23.48
probably about the
third or fourth day,
00:07:23.57\00:07:27.00
I noticed a little bit of
a break in the depression.
00:07:27.21\00:07:30.42
I'm starting to think a
little bit more clearly,
00:07:30.60\00:07:33.12
and I'm more positive and more
00:07:33.30\00:07:35.15
focused on the program here.
00:07:35.30\00:07:38.06
So you feel this time
you're more dedicated,
00:07:39.12\00:07:43.06
and it shows in
the weight you've lost,
00:07:43.27\00:07:47.27
the miles you're walking,
00:07:47.45\00:07:49.09
and maybe you can tell us
00:07:49.21\00:07:50.72
how many miles a
day you're walking now.
00:07:50.78\00:07:52.72
I'm walking about four and
a half to five miles a day.
00:07:52.75\00:07:55.36
Do you find that difficult?
00:07:55.51\00:07:56.81
No. You start it
off early in the morning
00:07:57.03\00:07:59.42
after the stretchercise,
00:07:59.43\00:08:01.78
and you do a half-mile
or a mile then, and it just
00:08:01.81\00:08:04.51
goes from there. Everybody
always wants to take a walk,
00:08:04.69\00:08:07.00
so it really goes
by pretty quickly.
00:08:07.01\00:08:09.36
Good. And your blood pressure,
00:08:09.72\00:08:12.06
the last time you were here,
00:08:12.07\00:08:13.45
you got off your
blood pressure medications.
00:08:13.60\00:08:16.18
How long was it
after you started here?
00:08:16.24\00:08:18.72
Three days.
00:08:18.81\00:08:20.27
And you got off all the meds?
00:08:20.69\00:08:22.18
I got off the
medication in three days.
00:08:22.21\00:08:24.09
The blood pressure medication
I haven't been on since.
00:08:24.10\00:08:27.30
And how's your blood
pressure today, Anthony?
00:08:27.51\00:08:29.54
Today was actually,
00:08:29.60\00:08:31.57
when Dr. Ing just took
it, it was 114 over 78.
00:08:31.58\00:08:34.63
Wow! I would say
that's incredible.
00:08:34.69\00:08:37.12
So, you've been able to
control your blood pressure
00:08:37.33\00:08:40.45
by this lifestyle?
00:08:40.69\00:08:42.03
Absolutely. Okay.
00:08:42.21\00:08:44.03
Now, I have to
ask you this question.
00:08:44.15\00:08:46.36
You're going to be leaving
here in about a week, right?
00:08:46.51\00:08:49.57
What are you going to do
00:08:49.81\00:08:51.45
this time that's going to
be different than last time?
00:08:51.63\00:08:54.21
Well, I'm just...you
have to stick to the program.
00:08:54.69\00:08:57.78
I mean, the way it's
presented in the lectures,
00:08:57.84\00:09:00.51
even last night
with Dr. Ing's lecture,
00:09:00.75\00:09:03.45
if you cheat at all
you're affecting your
00:09:03.72\00:09:07.36
arteries and things like that.
00:09:07.51\00:09:10.18
So I'm going to just 100
percent stay with the program.
00:09:10.27\00:09:13.69
The walking
shouldn't be a problem at all.
00:09:13.72\00:09:15.81
I don't mind the walking.
00:09:15.87\00:09:17.09
But as far as the diet,
00:09:17.10\00:09:18.75
that's gonna be the key,
00:09:18.76\00:09:19.84
and I have to
just stick with it.
00:09:19.85\00:09:21.33
So let me tell our friends what
Anthony is talking about here.
00:09:21.51\00:09:25.54
The program he
refers to is a lifestyle.
00:09:26.21\00:09:30.00
It's no different
than the lifestyle
00:09:30.18\00:09:32.12
you're leading
today, except maybe it
00:09:32.13\00:09:34.12
might change what you're eating,
00:09:34.54\00:09:36.21
the exercise you may
be doing or not doing,
00:09:36.51\00:09:39.51
the water and
sunshine and all the
00:09:39.75\00:09:42.21
other things that we teach
here at the NEWSTART program.
00:09:42.22\00:09:45.33
So when he says program,
00:09:45.54\00:09:47.42
he's really
talking about a lifestyle.
00:09:47.43\00:09:49.33
Wouldn't you agree?
00:09:49.45\00:09:50.48
Yeah. Absolutely.
00:09:50.49\00:09:52.03
So you feel stronger,
00:09:52.21\00:09:53.60
you feel like you
really own it now, right?
00:09:53.61\00:09:56.03
Yes. And so
00:09:56.04\00:09:57.18
you're going to leave
here with the right attitude
00:09:57.30\00:10:00.36
and go back there and
maybe help someone else.
00:10:00.69\00:10:02.66
Sure. Yep.
00:10:02.69\00:10:04.39
Now I feel a
hundred percent better.
00:10:04.42\00:10:06.60
Good. I really do.
00:10:07.09\00:10:08.30
Anthony, I want to thank you
for joining us in the studio.
00:10:08.42\00:10:11.39
God bless you, and I
wish you all the luck.
00:10:11.54\00:10:14.09
And I know we'll be talking.
00:10:14.15\00:10:15.60
Friends, thank
you for joining us.
00:10:15.69\00:10:17.39
Do not go away!
00:10:17.45\00:10:18.87
We'll be right back.
00:10:18.88\00:10:20.21
Well, you've done very well.
00:10:21.21\00:10:23.03
Do you have diabetes,
00:10:29.33\00:10:30.66
heart disease,
high blood pressure,
00:10:30.78\00:10:33.00
or do you weigh too much?
00:10:33.15\00:10:34.54
Hi, my name is Doctor Ing,
00:10:35.45\00:10:36.87
and I'd like to tell you about
00:10:37.00\00:10:38.72
our 18-day
NEWSTART lifestyle program.
00:10:38.73\00:10:41.03
It includes a
comprehensive medical evalation
00:10:42.03\00:10:44.75
with labratory studies
00:10:44.76\00:10:46.15
and an exercise stress test,
00:10:46.24\00:10:47.81
physician consultations,
00:10:47.84\00:10:50.24
culinary school,
00:10:50.72\00:10:52.45
and an opportunity to
walk on beautiful trails
00:10:52.51\00:10:55.66
in the foothills of the Sierras.
00:10:55.67\00:10:57.81
Your health is one of the most
important things that you have.
00:10:59.48\00:11:02.24
Don't wait.
00:11:02.25\00:11:03.30
Give us a call
00:11:03.51\00:11:08.09
or visit our website.
00:11:08.15\00:11:12.84
Hi friends, and welcome back.
00:11:27.15\00:11:28.78
As I promised, Dr. Clarence Ing.
00:11:29.15\00:11:31.45
Good to be here, Ron.
00:11:31.57\00:11:32.75
It's always good
to see you, Doctor.
00:11:32.76\00:11:34.45
We're going to talk about a guy
00:11:34.78\00:11:36.69
that happens to be
one of my good friends.
00:11:36.70\00:11:39.21
As we say in
Italian, he's my "goombadah",
00:11:39.51\00:11:42.36
Anthony Acampora.
00:11:42.60\00:11:44.27
And I know....
00:11:44.39\00:11:45.45
It wouldn't be because he
happens to be Italian, would it?
00:11:45.46\00:11:47.75
Oh! that's exactly it.
00:11:48.03\00:11:50.06
You know, this is his
second visit with us here,
00:11:50.36\00:11:52.81
and I know that he
slipped a little bit,
00:11:53.03\00:11:56.03
and I'd like to get
this message out the viewers.
00:11:56.21\00:11:59.54
You know, some people leave here
00:12:00.36\00:12:02.30
and then they don't
always stay on the program.
00:12:02.39\00:12:05.00
Anthony is one
of these examples.
00:12:05.18\00:12:07.54
Can you tell us a little
bit about his stay here, Doc?
00:12:07.81\00:12:10.66
Well Anthony came in, and he's a
00:12:10.75\00:12:14.15
very delightful individual.
00:12:14.24\00:12:15.84
And as I met him,
00:12:16.15\00:12:19.24
one of the things that I do
when I examine the patients,
00:12:19.69\00:12:24.15
first thing I do is
I check their vision.
00:12:24.39\00:12:26.69
I want to see how well they see.
00:12:26.72\00:12:28.12
Then I take them
into the next room
00:12:28.30\00:12:30.00
where I see how tall they are,
00:12:30.01\00:12:31.33
and I see how much they weigh.
00:12:32.03\00:12:33.63
And then after I
see how much they weigh,
00:12:34.21\00:12:36.18
then I can tell them
how tall they need to grow.
00:12:36.19\00:12:38.54
If they're too short.
00:12:40.63\00:12:42.09
Because some of
the patients here,
00:12:42.10\00:12:44.18
they're really not overweight,
00:12:44.42\00:12:45.54
they're just too short.
They haven't grown tall enough.
00:12:45.63\00:12:47.78
But Anthony, he was huge
00:12:48.12\00:12:50.36
when he came back.
00:12:50.54\00:12:51.54
He was what, 325 pounds?
00:12:51.60\00:12:54.15
Three hundred and
some.... He was over 300 pounds.
00:12:54.33\00:12:57.33
And I think that
was more than when he
00:12:57.60\00:12:59.27
came the first time,
00:12:59.28\00:13:01.36
and definitely
more than when he left.
00:13:01.37\00:13:02.81
The first time he left I
think he lost 10 or 15 pounds.
00:13:03.15\00:13:06.63
But this time he said,
00:13:06.87\00:13:08.48
"I'm serious. I'm
going to lose some weight."
00:13:09.00\00:13:11.21
And he was, and
he did really well!
00:13:11.33\00:13:13.45
In fact, as we,
00:13:14.24\00:13:16.24
as I monitored him and walked,
00:13:16.27\00:13:18.09
he ended up
losing about 25 pounds,
00:13:18.18\00:13:22.51
almost 26 pounds.
00:13:22.52\00:13:24.09
And he was very
pleased about that.
00:13:24.24\00:13:25.78
But he worked at that, you know.
00:13:26.06\00:13:28.27
He ate modest amounts of foods,
00:13:28.51\00:13:30.51
he didn't eat his supper,
00:13:30.84\00:13:32.33
he didn't eat the evening meal,
00:13:32.45\00:13:34.45
and he walked very faithfully.j
00:13:34.57\00:13:36.87
Now, you advised me when
I came through the program,
00:13:37.30\00:13:39.57
if I wanted to lost weight fast
00:13:39.87\00:13:42.18
and get my blood sugar down,
00:13:42.30\00:13:44.12
to skip the evening meal.
00:13:44.27\00:13:46.09
Can you tell us
about that briefly?
00:13:46.18\00:13:47.60
Yeah, that's
really important, because
00:13:47.72\00:13:49.84
when you eat in the morning,
00:13:50.15\00:13:52.27
you've been resting.
00:13:52.42\00:13:53.75
Your stomach is rested,
00:13:53.78\00:13:55.18
your gastrointestinal
tract is rested,
00:13:55.19\00:13:57.30
and you're hungry. So
that's a good time to go eat.
00:13:57.51\00:14:00.24
And then after you eat
you get out and you do things.
00:14:00.36\00:14:04.33
But what happens if
00:14:04.54\00:14:06.09
we eat a late evening meal,
00:14:06.27\00:14:07.75
as is the custom
here in the United States?
00:14:07.76\00:14:10.18
You know, you have a meal that
00:14:10.30\00:14:11.87
you eat at 6 or 7
or 8 in the evening,
00:14:11.88\00:14:14.60
And after that, how many
people are going to go out
00:14:15.06\00:14:18.00
and exercise and
walk 3 or 4 miles?
00:14:18.09\00:14:20.06
Not very many.
00:14:20.30\00:14:21.51
So what they do is they
00:14:21.72\00:14:23.12
sit down in their
easy chair and they
00:14:23.21\00:14:25.66
turn on the
television or the computer,
00:14:25.78\00:14:27.60
and they sit the
rest of the evening.
00:14:27.61\00:14:29.63
And all of those
calories that they've taken in
00:14:30.03\00:14:32.42
have to be stored.
00:14:32.45\00:14:34.36
Some of them are
stored as glycogen,
00:14:34.45\00:14:36.39
which is, when the glucose gets
00:14:36.40\00:14:37.84
into the cell it's
stored as glycogen.
00:14:37.85\00:14:39.63
But the rest of them are
stored as something called fat.
00:14:40.03\00:14:42.78
And most people...
00:14:43.27\00:14:44.87
A lot of people are concerned
00:14:45.15\00:14:46.30
that they have a
little bit too much fat.
00:14:46.31\00:14:48.30
So they don't want to do that.
00:14:48.45\00:14:49.69
So if you're really
serious about losing weight,
00:14:49.84\00:14:52.84
since we can't
help you grow taller,
00:14:52.85\00:14:54.30
one of the most
effective ways is
00:14:54.31\00:14:56.06
regular exercise,
00:14:56.30\00:14:57.75
walking three or
four miles every day,
00:14:58.06\00:15:01.09
and eliminating
the evening meal.
00:15:01.21\00:15:03.48
And we're even able to do this
00:15:03.63\00:15:05.09
on people who have diabetes.
00:15:05.10\00:15:06.33
We work with them on
adjusting their medication.
00:15:06.36\00:15:08.60
And when we do this,
00:15:08.87\00:15:10.36
they don't have
problems with low blood sugar,
00:15:10.57\00:15:12.66
and the people do very well,
00:15:12.81\00:15:14.75
and it makes it a
lot easier for them to
00:15:15.00\00:15:18.00
change their weight,
00:15:18.21\00:15:19.33
and they're really
pleased and happy about that.
00:15:19.36\00:15:21.09
But even the
people that do eat...
00:15:21.12\00:15:23.09
Some people tell me,
00:15:23.24\00:15:24.30
"Look, I just
can't stop from eating."
00:15:24.33\00:15:26.78
Well I advise them,
when they call and ask,
00:15:27.06\00:15:30.09
"Well then, you'd
better walk after you eat."
00:15:30.39\00:15:32.51
How much time would
you say is necessary
00:15:32.84\00:15:35.63
if I'm going to have
a big plate of pasta?
00:15:35.72\00:15:38.57
Well that depends what kind
of sauce you put on the pasta.
00:15:39.15\00:15:42.60
If it wasn't alfredo or cheese,
00:15:42.69\00:15:45.54
you wouldn't
have to walk as far.
00:15:45.57\00:15:47.57
If you put on a cheese sauce,
you're going to have to walk
00:15:47.58\00:15:49.72
a lot further, because
00:15:49.75\00:15:50.81
cheese has a lot
of calories, and if
00:15:51.09\00:15:53.15
they sprinkle lots
of parmesan on there,
00:15:53.33\00:15:55.54
which we don't
advise or recommend because
00:15:55.72\00:15:58.24
cheese actually is
really high in fat,
00:15:58.39\00:16:00.51
high in saturated fat,
00:16:00.72\00:16:02.30
and cheese is more
deadly and worse for you
00:16:02.36\00:16:04.18
than eating meat, red meat.
00:16:04.33\00:16:06.36
So, an hour after
dinner? Is that enough?
00:16:07.27\00:16:10.21
To walk for an hour?
00:16:10.69\00:16:12.00
Yeah, if you walk for an hour
00:16:12.12\00:16:13.39
at 20 minutes per mile,
00:16:13.40\00:16:14.48
you're only going to
burn up 300 calories.
00:16:14.49\00:16:16.42
And most people are going to eat
00:16:16.57\00:16:17.66
more than 300
calories in their evening meal.
00:16:17.67\00:16:20.03
Especially in that pasta. Yeah.
00:16:20.27\00:16:21.60
They're going
to probably consume
00:16:21.84\00:16:23.42
600, 700, 800 calories.
00:16:23.54\00:16:25.60
and if they had
some garlic bread with
00:16:25.66\00:16:28.12
butter, and other things,
00:16:28.57\00:16:30.72
they can easily
consume 1,000 calories.
00:16:30.81\00:16:33.21
Well, to walk
off 1,000 calories,
00:16:33.45\00:16:36.33
that's going to be 10 miles,
00:16:36.54\00:16:38.45
and if you walk
at 3 miles an hour,
00:16:38.46\00:16:40.12
10 miles is going to take you
00:16:40.13\00:16:41.42
3 hours and 20 minutes.
00:16:41.60\00:16:43.12
So I'm better off
00:16:43.18\00:16:44.51
passing on the dinner, right?
00:16:44.63\00:16:46.12
Yeah, it's a lot
easier to lose weight
00:16:46.13\00:16:47.51
by just eating
a little bit less.
00:16:47.52\00:16:49.18
Now Anthony also had
elevated blood sugar.
00:16:49.30\00:16:52.15
Yeah, he had an elevated
blood sugar when he came.
00:16:52.39\00:16:55.33
But he wasn't diabetic?
00:16:55.63\00:16:57.36
No, no, he wasn't diabetic.
00:16:57.37\00:16:59.09
Normal blood
sugar is 99 or less.
00:17:00.06\00:17:03.81
Diagnosis of diabetes is 126
00:17:04.66\00:17:07.45
milligrams per
deciliter or higher.
00:17:07.69\00:17:09.45
Then that confirms diabetes.
00:17:09.46\00:17:11.18
But if you're
between 100 and 125,
00:17:11.27\00:17:13.87
the term is
"impaired fasting glucose".
00:17:14.30\00:17:16.63
And if you're in that area,
and that's where Anthony was,
00:17:16.72\00:17:19.03
then your risk of
developing diabetes
00:17:19.27\00:17:21.42
is about 15 times higher
00:17:21.43\00:17:22.75
than that of a
person who doesn't,
00:17:22.78\00:17:24.12
who has a normal
blood sugar of 99 or less.
00:17:24.39\00:17:26.84
Is that area called prediabetic?
00:17:27.06\00:17:30.15
It's often called
prediabetic, that's right.
00:17:30.33\00:17:33.06
And the neat thing is,
00:17:33.30\00:17:34.69
when we repeated his
blood test 2 weeks later,
00:17:34.81\00:17:37.78
his blood sugar now
was down in the 80s.
00:17:38.03\00:17:40.51
It was perfectly normal,
00:17:40.54\00:17:41.60
and he was very happy
about that, and so was I,
00:17:41.61\00:17:43.72
because he had
dramatically lowered
00:17:44.18\00:17:47.45
his risk for getting diabetes.
00:17:47.48\00:17:49.36
The other thing
that lowered his risk
00:17:49.48\00:17:51.24
was the walking
and the weight loss.
00:17:51.25\00:17:53.39
And what about
the blood pressure?
00:17:53.48\00:17:55.45
That came down obviously...
00:17:55.46\00:17:56.60
Yeah, his blood
pressure came down as well,
00:17:56.63\00:17:59.42
so that was very good.
00:17:59.51\00:18:00.57
Now, I know you can't do
anything about the gambling,
00:18:00.75\00:18:04.63
but I know that
Anthony was depressed.
00:18:04.69\00:18:07.12
He shared with us.
00:18:07.39\00:18:08.51
Were you able to
help him in that area?
00:18:08.78\00:18:10.81
Well, what I try to
encourage the people to do is
00:18:12.09\00:18:14.87
if you recognize
you've got a problem
00:18:15.00\00:18:16.72
in a certain area of your life,
00:18:17.21\00:18:19.30
take it to God.
00:18:19.31\00:18:20.39
And when you want
to take it to God,
00:18:20.72\00:18:22.54
you pray to the Lord,
00:18:22.55\00:18:23.75
and you want to pray positively
about what you want to become.
00:18:23.76\00:18:27.39
Don't pray about the problem.
00:18:27.66\00:18:29.57
If I'm impatient,
00:18:29.69\00:18:31.09
and if I have a short temper,
00:18:31.63\00:18:33.27
and I'm rude and
unkind and uncourteous,
00:18:33.48\00:18:36.33
don't say, "Dear Lord, I am so
00:18:36.54\00:18:38.12
impatient, so
unkind, so discourteous,
00:18:38.13\00:18:40.24
so uncaring."
00:18:40.54\00:18:41.78
Pray positively about
what you want to become.
00:18:42.00\00:18:44.42
Say, "Dear Lord,
help me to become more
00:18:44.57\00:18:46.18
patient, more
loving, more gentle,
00:18:46.19\00:18:48.18
more thoughtful
and more considerate."
00:18:48.30\00:18:49.63
Then I'm dwelling
upon the positive aspects
00:18:50.51\00:18:52.81
that I want to become like,
00:18:52.82\00:18:54.30
you know,
become more like Jesus,
00:18:54.51\00:18:56.00
because that's
the way that He was.
00:18:56.01\00:18:57.45
I don't want to dwell upon
the negative parts that I have.
00:18:57.63\00:19:00.63
Yes, I have them,
and I recognize that.
00:19:00.66\00:19:02.60
But I don't want
to dwell upon that.
00:19:02.75\00:19:03.84
I want to dwell upon what
I can become with God's help.
00:19:03.85\00:19:06.72
And the awesome
thing about God is,
00:19:07.24\00:19:08.87
God never says,
00:19:09.42\00:19:11.54
"This is what
you need to become,
00:19:12.12\00:19:13.57
this is what you need to do.
00:19:13.72\00:19:15.09
You're on your own.
00:19:15.30\00:19:16.87
I'm really kind of busy,
00:19:17.12\00:19:18.18
don't bother Me." No, He says,
00:19:18.30\00:19:19.63
"This is what I
want you to become.
00:19:19.78\00:19:21.33
And by the way,
everything you need
00:19:21.60\00:19:24.27
to help you become
what I want you to become,
00:19:24.30\00:19:26.06
I offer you the power
and the strength to do it.
00:19:26.33\00:19:28.24
All you've got to do is
talk to Me and ask Me for it.
00:19:28.36\00:19:30.72
Ask Me for that help every day."
00:19:30.87\00:19:32.57
Spend some time with God,
00:19:32.66\00:19:34.06
time alone with God every day.
00:19:34.36\00:19:36.33
That's the secret of the
power in the Christian life.
00:19:36.66\00:19:39.54
Surrender your life
and your will to Him.
00:19:39.78\00:19:42.45
I surrender my
life and my will to Him
00:19:42.48\00:19:44.36
every day and say, "Lord,
00:19:44.51\00:19:45.81
my day is starting with You.
00:19:47.36\00:19:48.81
Here's what's
going to be before me.
00:19:49.12\00:19:50.81
What do we need to do
00:19:51.03\00:19:52.06
to make it a success,
00:19:52.18\00:19:54.00
that I can give You
the honor and glory,
00:19:54.18\00:19:56.18
and help someone else
along life's journey?"
00:19:56.19\00:19:58.42
Well, I see this with people who
00:19:59.15\00:20:02.27
I interview.
They oftentimes say,
00:20:02.45\00:20:05.03
"You folks up
here are so wonderful.
00:20:05.21\00:20:07.45
Everyone prays with us, etc."
00:20:07.57\00:20:09.60
Is this something that
we do with every guest?
00:20:09.78\00:20:13.45
We pray with them, and...?
00:20:13.66\00:20:15.15
Can they come for counsel,
00:20:15.33\00:20:17.51
and learn about
the Bible and God?
00:20:17.78\00:20:20.24
Absolutely. If
they are interested
00:20:20.36\00:20:21.75
in learning about the Bible
00:20:21.76\00:20:22.84
and learning about God,
00:20:23.03\00:20:24.06
we have staff who are very happy
00:20:24.33\00:20:26.78
to study with them.
00:20:27.00\00:20:28.15
Our chaplain, or my
wife May - either one.
00:20:28.24\00:20:31.12
In fact, I tell them
that at the beginning.
00:20:31.30\00:20:33.00
If you're really not sure about
00:20:33.01\00:20:35.27
the possibility of
living for eternity,
00:20:35.87\00:20:38.27
and you haven't really
answered that question about
00:20:38.63\00:20:41.21
God's gift of eternal life,
00:20:41.24\00:20:42.63
that's
something really important
00:20:42.78\00:20:44.57
you need to find out about.
00:20:44.58\00:20:46.03
And please, talk
to Viola our chaplain,
00:20:46.18\00:20:48.39
or talk to my wife May.
00:20:48.40\00:20:49.48
They'll be happy to help
you find the answer to that
00:20:50.00\00:20:52.24
very important question,
00:20:52.48\00:20:54.09
the question we
should never ignore,
00:20:54.36\00:20:56.09
and all of us need
to answer for ourselves.
00:20:56.30\00:20:58.48
Well Doctor Ing, as
usual, it's always a
00:20:59.45\00:21:01.81
pleasure to have you here,
00:21:01.87\00:21:03.42
and I thank you for coming
00:21:03.63\00:21:05.03
on set and taking
your valuable time.
00:21:05.24\00:21:07.42
It's great to be
here. Have a wonderful day.
00:21:07.57\00:21:09.72
Friends, thank
you for joining us.
00:21:10.81\00:21:13.27
I know you have family
or friends that perhaps
00:21:13.36\00:21:16.45
need to come to
the NEWSTART program.
00:21:16.69\00:21:18.78
Pick up the
phone and call us at:
00:21:19.09\00:21:21.24
God bless you.
00:21:24.45\00:21:25.54
Don't go away!
00:21:25.63\00:21:27.09
Hello, and welcome
to NEWSTART at Home.
00:21:41.00\00:21:42.39
I'm your host, Don Mackintosh.
00:21:42.45\00:21:43.69
We're glad that
you're joining us today,
00:21:43.75\00:21:45.66
because we have a special guest.
00:21:45.84\00:21:47.45
Actually not really a guest,
00:21:47.54\00:21:49.39
he's around these parts
quite a bit, Dr. Neil Nedley.
00:21:49.51\00:21:51.81
Welcome, Doctor Nedley.
00:21:51.82\00:21:53.00
Thank you. It's good to be here.
00:21:53.01\00:21:54.03
You are a physician
00:21:54.12\00:21:56.21
that specializes
in internal medicine,
00:21:56.27\00:21:58.51
but a couple years ago you told
me that 1 in 3 patients you see
00:21:58.60\00:22:01.63
has emotional or
depression-type problems,
00:22:01.84\00:22:05.45
so you're interested now
in the field of mental health.
00:22:05.72\00:22:08.24
Yes, actually, the
brain is an internal organ,
00:22:08.45\00:22:11.51
so it's still not off limits
for an internal medicine doctor.
00:22:11.57\00:22:14.84
And we find out
a lot of diseases
00:22:15.27\00:22:17.18
have their origin in the mind.
00:22:17.21\00:22:18.51
Even heart disease, when we know
00:22:18.52\00:22:20.57
what we should do to
reverse heart disease,
00:22:20.75\00:22:22.84
and we're not doing it,
00:22:22.85\00:22:24.03
what's the problem?
00:22:24.12\00:22:25.15
I guess in the mind.
00:22:25.24\00:22:26.27
The problem is
there in the mind.
00:22:26.30\00:22:27.72
So that's really what has piqued
00:22:27.73\00:22:29.42
my interest in
regards to helping
00:22:29.43\00:22:31.63
physical disease by
actually helping the mind.
00:22:31.84\00:22:34.42
So, emotional intelligence.
00:22:34.72\00:22:36.39
Our emotions
sometimes lead us and guide us,
00:22:36.45\00:22:38.39
but they can
mislead us and misguide us.
00:22:38.48\00:22:40.09
You want to talk about that?
00:22:40.24\00:22:41.42
Yeah, that's
correct. In fact, studies show
00:22:41.51\00:22:43.48
that your emotional intelligence
is what is critically related
00:22:43.57\00:22:47.12
to not only your happiness,
00:22:47.21\00:22:49.15
but your success in life.
00:22:49.16\00:22:50.87
And how intelligent
you are in regards to IQ
00:22:51.21\00:22:54.06
has to do with the first job
00:22:54.09\00:22:55.48
that you're going
to get out of college.
00:22:55.49\00:22:56.84
That's how important that is.
00:22:57.03\00:22:58.33
But how far you
advance in that job
00:22:58.57\00:23:00.39
is not at all
related to your IQ.
00:23:00.40\00:23:02.21
It's related to your
emotional intelligence.
00:23:02.39\00:23:04.69
And so this is
critically important
00:23:04.84\00:23:07.15
to your success, your influence,
00:23:07.16\00:23:09.15
and really your
general satisfaction
00:23:09.39\00:23:12.18
and happiness in
your relationships.
00:23:12.24\00:23:13.81
So there are common
distortions people have
00:23:14.72\00:23:17.24
in their emotions
that can lead them astray.
00:23:17.27\00:23:19.09
You're going to go through
a couple of those with us.
00:23:19.12\00:23:20.66
Yes, that's
right. Actually there are
00:23:21.09\00:23:22.60
ten ways of distorted thinking,
00:23:22.69\00:23:25.03
and if we can learn those
ten ways of distorted thinking,
00:23:25.15\00:23:27.63
and correct those ten ways,
00:23:28.39\00:23:29.72
we can significantly improve
our emotional intelligence.
00:23:29.73\00:23:32.63
One of them, you said, is
"all or nothing thinking".
00:23:32.75\00:23:35.06
Yeah, all or nothing thinking.
00:23:35.12\00:23:37.06
Now, some of the
time that's correct,
00:23:37.15\00:23:38.48
but most of the time all or
nothing thinking is incorrect.
00:23:38.49\00:23:42.18
An example of this would be
00:23:42.33\00:23:44.45
someone who lost
the race for Congress
00:23:44.46\00:23:46.45
and comes into
my office and says,
00:23:46.54\00:23:48.09
"Doctor Nedley, I'm a big zero.
00:23:48.10\00:23:49.87
I lost the race for Congress."
00:23:50.09\00:23:51.45
Does that mean
he's a big zero? No.
00:23:51.75\00:23:53.63
Because you get a divorce,
00:23:53.64\00:23:54.69
does that mean
you're a big zero?
00:23:54.70\00:23:56.09
No. But that's where all
or nothing thinking leads to.
00:23:56.42\00:23:58.69
Even in the Bible,
00:23:59.00\00:24:01.09
Esau had this.
00:24:01.24\00:24:03.42
When Jacob asked him
00:24:03.54\00:24:05.51
if he was willing
to sell his birthright
00:24:05.54\00:24:07.33
for the bowl of lentils....
00:24:07.34\00:24:08.36
And he'd been
out hunting all day.
00:24:08.45\00:24:09.69
He was starved and he was weak
00:24:09.72\00:24:11.81
at that point.
00:24:12.09\00:24:13.24
But he says, "If
don't eat these lentils now,
00:24:13.36\00:24:15.81
I'm going to die."
00:24:15.82\00:24:17.27
All or nothing thinking.
00:24:18.00\00:24:19.33
And he sold his birthright
due to all or nothing thinking,
00:24:19.34\00:24:21.72
and did his
emotions run out of control
00:24:21.81\00:24:23.75
as a result of that?
00:24:23.76\00:24:24.78
Of course. Absolutely.
00:24:24.81\00:24:26.21
I like lentils, but I
don't know if I'd go that far.
00:24:26.36\00:24:29.03
The next one you said
was overgeneralization.
00:24:29.15\00:24:32.15
Yeah, overgeneralization.
00:24:32.27\00:24:34.09
An example of that was a
good friend of mine in college
00:24:34.10\00:24:37.00
who had his eye on a
girl for about six months
00:24:37.06\00:24:39.15
before he mustered up
enough courage to ask her out.
00:24:39.16\00:24:41.63
And we thought he had a
good likelihood of success.
00:24:42.18\00:24:44.15
He was goodlooking, he
was smart, he was engaging.
00:24:44.16\00:24:46.72
But she turned him down.
00:24:47.09\00:24:48.66
And he comes back to
the dorm and he says,
00:24:48.78\00:24:50.78
"Neil, I'm destined to be lonely
00:24:50.84\00:24:52.81
and miserable
the rest of my life."
00:24:52.82\00:24:54.87
And he had tears in his eyes,
00:24:55.60\00:24:59.06
and he overgeneralized
in a couple of ways.
00:24:59.24\00:25:02.27
First I said, "What did
she say for him to say that?"
00:25:02.33\00:25:04.78
And it turns
out she had told him
00:25:05.00\00:25:06.66
she had another event to go to.
00:25:06.67\00:25:08.30
And I said, "So
you conclude this?"
00:25:08.54\00:25:10.12
And he says,
"Well I got to thinking,
00:25:10.30\00:25:11.60
if she just thought half as much
about me as I think about her,
00:25:11.61\00:25:14.27
she would have canceled that
event and gone along with me.
00:25:14.33\00:25:16.42
So I'm destined to be lonely
00:25:16.51\00:25:17.66
and miserable
the rest of my life."
00:25:17.67\00:25:19.12
Well he had assumed
because she turned him down once
00:25:19.45\00:25:21.30
she was always
going to turn him down.
00:25:21.31\00:25:22.75
And he also over-
generalized by thinking
00:25:23.15\00:25:25.39
that 100 percent
of eligible women
00:25:25.45\00:25:27.42
had identical taste to hers.
00:25:27.43\00:25:28.87
And thus he would be endlessly
rejected the rest of his life.
00:25:29.06\00:25:32.39
So this was
definitely overgeneralizing.
00:25:32.78\00:25:35.66
Overgeneralizing is
really taking the hypothesis
00:25:35.67\00:25:39.33
and actually
putting it into a fact,
00:25:39.45\00:25:41.36
rather than a hypothesis,
00:25:41.45\00:25:42.78
or generalizing
from too few instances.
00:25:42.87\00:25:45.09
So, in your seminar,
00:25:45.39\00:25:47.15
in helping people
with reversing depression
00:25:47.16\00:25:49.51
or getting more
emotionally stable,
00:25:49.57\00:25:51.51
you go through
these types of things.
00:25:51.52\00:25:53.18
Yes, and actually, it's not
just for people with depression.
00:25:53.19\00:25:55.75
We all have tendencies
to think distorted thoughts,
00:25:56.21\00:26:00.03
and many times
we need to back up
00:26:00.18\00:26:02.51
and say, "How true is that?"
00:26:02.66\00:26:04.57
"Is it really completely true?"
00:26:04.69\00:26:07.27
And often our feelings and
emotions are bent out of shape
00:26:07.30\00:26:09.87
over things that
aren't really completely true.
00:26:10.09\00:26:12.81
Like Will Rogers
says, "It's not what we
00:26:13.24\00:26:15.60
don't know that
hurts us so much,
00:26:15.84\00:26:17.48
it's what we know for
sure that just ain't so."
00:26:17.63\00:26:19.84
Well thank you so much
for joining us, Doctor Nedley.
00:26:22.03\00:26:24.39
Thank you for
joining us, as well.
00:26:24.51\00:26:26.15
We encourage you
to go to the website,
00:26:26.16\00:26:29.48
and we know that your
00:26:30.12\00:26:31.12

Hi. I hope you've
enjoyed as much as I have
00:26:43.18\00:26:45.27
this edition of NEWSTART Now.
00:26:45.28\00:26:47.48
I'm Jim Brackett,
executive vicepresident
00:26:47.66\00:26:49.81
here at the Weimar Center.
00:26:49.87\00:26:51.54
I want to take just a
moment to give you an idea
00:26:51.81\00:26:53.60
of some of the
wonderful resources
00:26:53.66\00:26:55.18
we have here at the bookstore,
00:26:55.19\00:26:56.42
such as Neil Nedley's
book called Proof Positive.
00:26:56.69\00:26:59.21
Now, in addition to
Doctor Nedley's book,
00:27:00.24\00:27:02.00
he has a series on
depression recovery.
00:27:02.09\00:27:04.24
We have the NEWSTART
lifestyle series on DVD
00:27:04.42\00:27:07.42

00:27:07.45\00:27:09.36
relating to
topics like diabetes,
00:27:09.54\00:27:11.27
heart disease, cancer.
00:27:11.28\00:27:13.00
We have a number of
authors who have cookbooks here,
00:27:13.09\00:27:16.18
including some in the raw field.
00:27:16.27\00:27:18.21
Now, we'd love
to have you stop by

maybe has diabetes,
high blood pressure,
