00:12 Every year in America there are over one million deaths
00:14 because of type 2 diabetes and chronic obesity. 00:17 This includes heart attacks and strokes. 00:20 That's six and a half 747s crashing every day. 00:23 What seems the more surprising is it the fix is easy. 00:27 It's your lifestyle. 00:28 Wouldn't it be nice if you could actually add 00:30 quality years to your life 00:32 rather than dying a one organ at a time? 00:34 Obesity and diabetes are the cause 00:36 of over million deaths per year. 00:39 Most diseases are reversible 00:41 because most diseases are lifestyle diseases, 00:44 especially type 2 diabetes and chronic obesity. 00:47 Seriously now they can be reversed 00:49 in the quality of your life can be renewed. 00:53 Call Newstart today at 1-800-525-9192. 00:59 You will see dramatic changes 01:01 in the first few days of the program 01:03 and you'll be on the road 01:04 to a better more robust quality of life. 01:07 The Newstart programs are simple and effective. 01:13 Hi friends, and welcome 01:14 to another edition of Newstart Now. 01:17 I'm your host Ron Giannoni 01:20 and in our studio we've a wonderful guy, 01:23 I want to introduce him but before I do 01:25 I want to breakaway and show you 01:27 a clip of when he first arrived. 01:30 His name is Robert Estrada. 01:34 I got fat and I didn't really think about it 01:38 and this kind said okay this is me, I'm getting old. 01:43 I was making excuses, my metabolism slow down 01:48 and I came up my every thing you could imagine. 01:50 I say, just like to eat 01:52 so it didn't help that I was enjoying 01:55 life to a fuller extent that I needed to be. 01:59 I have this somewhat rapid laying that I can't, 02:05 you know, get functioning and I believe that 02:08 if I were totally healthy first of all it never happen 02:12 and since it has happen, its having trouble healing. 02:16 And so it's the checking before a year 02:20 and I believe that I'm dealing with this problem 02:23 like I have some-- there were some other issues 02:25 in last few years that were brought on by the diabetes. 02:32 My body is breaking down if you work 02:35 and I had no energy, I had no desire 02:39 just take the pill and it will go away, 02:42 doesn't go away the prayer doesn't really work 02:45 I don't believe. 02:46 So and I don't want to give 02:48 to insulin situation or amputation situation 02:52 and I've friends they gone that way 02:54 and they have died from diabetes. 02:57 So I don't want to be in another statistic. 03:02 Welcome back and as I promised Robert Estrada. 03:05 Hello there. Call me Bob. 03:07 Bob, I was gonna ask you, liked to be called Robert? 03:09 No, Bob. Like become late for dinner. 03:12 Never. 03:13 Okay, you look like you have missed many dinners. 03:15 No, not, in my life. 03:16 Okay, we gonna get in to-- you know, 03:19 we just had a look at when you first arrived here. 03:23 You had a lot of issues. Yeah. Yeah. 03:27 What happened? I mean, why did you come here? 03:32 Well, we were actually directed here 03:35 and the way that we never thought we would be 03:37 and that was through a friend that we known for years but-- 03:40 Gary? Gary yes. 03:42 Gary was-- we ran into Gary at a restaurant 03:46 and Gary proceeded to tell us about 03:49 what he just gone through here 03:50 and we can believe how great he looked. 03:52 I mean, he was glowing. He had lost 100 pounds. 03:56 Right. 03:57 He was healthy as could be looking ways. 04:00 I mean, it was unbelievable. 04:02 Half all of his medications, when he said that I was in. 04:05 I wanted to hear what it was all about. So-- 04:07 Now when you're done here, you know, 04:09 you don't have any hopes to look like Gary? 04:12 No, God know. No. Gary is a good looking guy. 04:16 I know, I'm just teasing about. I know, he's gonna see this. 04:20 Yes, he is. I just thought I pull that in. 04:23 So you had conditions with diabetes. Yes. 04:28 High blood pressure. Yes. 04:29 Extremely high blood pressure. 04:31 There's probably a lot of other things 04:32 it may be warning the world. 04:34 Unrelated. 04:35 Yes, unrelated issues perhaps the fact 04:38 that I've had the sciatic nerve issue, 04:41 some neuropathy in my left leg 04:43 always was going on for the last several years 04:47 and ultimately it led to obesity, 04:49 diabetes, hypertension 04:52 and unrelated issues that it can't even count. 04:55 So-- And all kinds of meds. 04:57 Let me ask you a question. Do you understand how-- 05:04 I want to say-- I'm looking for the right word 05:07 but do you understand the benefits 05:10 of coming here as supposed to not 05:13 and what might have happened if you didn't come? 05:16 If I did not come my life was gonna be much shorter. 05:21 Yes. Guaranteed. Yes. 05:22 Simply put I was on a-- 05:25 a train one way train going into a wall. 05:30 And it already started getting the telltale signs. 05:34 Coming here is now restarted and rebooted my life. 05:41 Because by getting off of all those meds 05:44 and eating a plant food based whole foods eating whole. 05:48 I got it. You got it. 05:50 Yeah, I had all the issues. 05:53 Dr. Lukens explained it so well 05:55 along with Dr. Heng in their lecture series. 05:59 The classes were very helpful but more importantly 06:03 there was a group comradery going with 22 people 06:07 we were having fun learning and my wife is so, 06:10 it's unbelievable as you will 06:12 find out later when you speak with her. 06:13 But she really, she is so excited about 06:17 she can't wait to get to home. 06:18 We're having a dinner party for her father's 75th birthday 06:21 next Wednesday night and it's gonna be all plant based. 06:24 Oh, my. 06:25 He doesn't know that this guy is a real by guy. 06:27 Right. He's gonna be, he's-- 06:29 I mean if he's gonna be able to handle it. 06:31 But it's also-- Oh, you'll handle it? 06:33 Yeah, I'll handle it 06:34 but where he will go from that I don't know? 06:37 All right, let's talk about your numbers. 06:39 How are your numbers? List out with your weight? 06:41 How much weight have you lost in the last few weeks? 06:45 Well, in last-- since I've been here I've lost 12 pounds. 06:48 Not a significant number because of I've had issues 06:50 walking because of this sciatic nerve thing 06:53 which I was trying to get resolved before I got here 06:55 but that's said I'm going to get it resolved when I get back 06:58 and then I'll be really walk and keep up with my wife, 07:01 hopefully she's got a big jump on me. 07:04 The other thing is-- The diabetes. 07:06 How about the diabetes? 07:07 The diabetes, I'm off the pills I was taking. 07:10 What pills were you taking? 07:11 I was taking Januvia. Januvia? 07:13 And I was taking it once a day and with that drug 07:18 my numbers were in the 150s, 160s. 07:21 I'm off of that pill plus and at this point of time 07:28 I'm showing numbers in the low 100s 07:30 and 102 this morning before I eat 07:33 132 after which is about normal. 07:36 Let me ask you about the doctors. 07:38 The doctors here are special doctors. 07:41 What was your experience with your good doctor, 07:44 Dr, Lukens I think it was? 07:45 Dr. Lukens very gentleman, wonderful man. 07:48 Did you go and-- you know I remember 07:50 going to the doctor, the cardiologist 07:53 he would have the nurse to do this 07:54 and he would come in, how are you doing, 07:56 look at my chart and do this seeing the three months. 07:59 The five minutes and slept on the bed rather than I-- 08:01 How much time did you spend at these guys? 08:03 Hours. Hours? 08:04 Ate with them, talked with them, sat around with them, 08:08 discussed all kinds of things with them. 08:11 They're eager to know. And they get to know you. 08:14 Yeah, yeah they do. 08:16 Don't you think there is a huge-- 08:17 Huge difference. Disparity. 08:19 This is old fashioned medicine. Old fashioned medicine. 08:21 Yeah, this is the way it used to be. 08:23 Yeah. It's wonderful. Solid time. 08:25 So, where do you gonna go from here? 08:28 What you're gonna do? 08:29 Well, we're going home tomorrow. 08:31 And we've already packed our lunch 08:33 that is we got a packed lunch and we're going straight 08:37 to whole foods pick up provisions. 08:39 Yes. And then we're gonna cook away-- 08:42 And what you are gonna do when you get home? 08:43 For few days in advance 08:44 and we're gonna start walking at home 08:47 and we're buying some exercise equipment. 08:48 All right. 08:49 To put in a bed room that we're turning into gym. 08:52 All right. So, it's-- 08:53 What about the food you have at the home right now? 08:55 Oh, we're gonna clear out what's left 08:57 of this stuff it's full of oils. 08:59 Yeah, yeah. 09:00 Now it's part of the conversation 09:04 we had this morning we got to clear out our fridge. 09:07 Good. So-- 09:08 Now, I know that when you go back 09:12 Gary is gonna be excited to see how you done. 09:14 Oh, yeah. 09:15 And I know that you're gonna be telling him 09:18 and you guys will be sharing with-- 09:20 Yeah. With one another. 09:22 Do you see that going back home 09:26 is gonna be much different than it is here? 09:29 Oh, yeah, it will be different in that we're been too-- 09:33 back into area where we are very comfortable 09:37 and know our, you know, here about. 09:38 And you'll be tempted little bit? 09:40 No, I don't think so. No, you don't think so? 09:43 No, I don't think so. So, you really committed. 09:44 Yeah, temptation I think left me 09:49 about three, four days into the program. 09:51 Okay. 09:52 Because the first few days I was like 09:54 texting friends send me a pizza. 09:57 Okay, so that showed around and certainly I realized. 10:01 Seriously, this is a good thing. 10:03 This is really a good thing. 10:04 Especially after we did a fast, we did little fast. 10:07 You did? Yes, and that was wonderful. 10:09 I actually never experienced that 10:11 after three and a half days of not eating 10:14 a fast, a true fast and then we were cleansed 10:17 and then we started eating just pure vegetables again 10:21 steamed and you know, it was so good, 10:24 it was delicious and I-- 10:25 I don't remember eating like this when I was a kid. 10:28 You know I had a Italian mother and grandmother 10:29 they cook fabulously. 10:31 Yeah, they used a little bit of oil here and there, olive oil. 10:33 See, I knew there's something about you a lot 10:35 because you have Italian blood. 10:37 Yeah. See, that's good thing. 10:38 Yeah, it's good stuff anyway-- 10:40 Doesn't matter what you were but we-- 10:43 for the good connection with you immediately 10:46 when I met you at the clinic a couple of days ago. 10:48 Yes, yeah like wise. 10:49 And I know you're gonna do well, 10:51 because I'm going to be on you. 10:53 Yeah, that's good. 10:54 I'm gonna be following up 10:56 as you know I'll be calling you. 10:57 Yeah. 10:58 And we'll chat, we'll motivate 11:00 now come down and visit with you. 11:02 Always, you're welcome at anytime. 11:03 Whatever we need to do to get you-- 11:05 to keep you going. 11:06 Thank you. 11:07 Bob, I want to thank you for coming under the studio 11:10 and opening up your heart to the audience, 11:13 I know because of this interviewi 11:16 someone will be blessed 11:18 because there are little paranoid may be. 11:20 It's-- I could understand. And now you get them a hope. 11:23 Yeah, thanks. Thanks, brother. 11:25 Thank you. Thank you for being here. 11:27 Friends, thank you but don't go away 11:29 we have an important message for you then Dr. Lukens. 11:33 Wow. 12:07 Welcome back, friends, and as I said 12:09 I have the privilege of welcoming Dr. Lukens. 12:13 My good friend, how are you? How long we've been doing this? 12:16 Well, we're doing for several years 12:18 this makes about 140 that would done. 12:22 This is an exciting case. 12:24 This is very exciting, and I'm so happy 12:27 and I got such a nice connection with this guy. 12:30 I want to stick with him. Some years past, yeah. 12:32 Yes. He goes by Bob, Bob Estrada. 12:36 Right. 12:37 And he came here probably because he had 12:42 what we call intractable pain or just, 12:44 he just can't stand the pain. 12:47 He has had this for eight months. Ouch. 12:51 But he has one thing it's working on in his favor 12:55 and one thing this working against him. 12:57 He can get himself into a position 13:00 where he is totally comfortable 13:03 but what he can't do is he can't walk. 13:04 Ouch. 13:05 He said it's a marathon for him to go from his car 13:09 into his office where he's doing business consultations. 13:13 And he says when he gets it's just excruciating. 13:17 So, that is what really initiated him 13:21 taking a step to get some help. 13:25 Is that correct? 13:26 Which he does, he almost says more but obesity. 13:30 Well, I can understand. 13:31 And that was something like could have helped 13:34 and he has had diabetes 13:36 and that's you know that hasn't been as long. 13:40 He's had a high blood pressure as high as 240/110. 13:45 You know that's-- 13:46 And you know you had issues like that. 13:48 I had issues like that. 13:50 But he's also had a stent 13:53 and he's had other cardiovascular events. 13:58 Is that true? Yeah, I didn't know. 13:59 I don't know evidently there is something 14:03 that's happening so forth but you know, 14:06 when he is going in what he will do 14:10 as he'll be put on this medicine 14:12 and if you can't tolerate he'll be put on that medicine 14:16 and what was really surprising to me is that 14:22 and here it is we ask, 14:23 we got this from Lifestyle Center of America. 14:26 We got the idea of fasting people for three days. Yes. 14:30 And some people come in and they don't even know that 14:36 this is vegan and they don't even know was vegetarian. 14:40 There is fasting. 14:41 And then they come in here and then we ask them to fast 14:44 and its like you know ah, 14:46 you know what do you try to do to me? 14:48 But they did really well, and they once were on it 14:52 and there we took them off of course all the medications. 14:56 If someone wants insulin we had to stop that and so forth. 14:59 So he was happy because he never has 15:02 he went on to januvia, he certainly didn't 15:04 ever want to have to go on to the insulin injections. 15:09 And so you know we had his attention and that was good. 15:13 Here's the question and I know the viewers 15:16 would like to hear the answer of this one. 15:18 Here is a case where out in the world if you will 15:24 typically doctors would say well take this pill 15:27 or that pill and it kind of hides what's going on 15:30 but what is the prognosis, 15:33 can this lifestyle change him entirely? 15:39 We know today I just got finished having the review 15:45 and I brought something from the University of Virginia 15:49 and there is a doctor over there he's doing, 15:52 I would say it was the carbon copy of what we're doing. 15:56 And so I highlighted that part on it and he says 15:59 you know what happens is when we give the insulin 16:02 and when we give the pills 16:04 and those it make the pancreas make more insulin and so forth. 16:08 He says it's counter productive. 16:10 He said we're just making those fat cells fatter 16:15 and in the long run it's going to be worst. 16:17 Ouch. But that's not gonna happen to Bob. 16:21 Bob whose gonna be-- 16:22 And tell me why because we're following our patient's heart. 16:25 That's right. 16:27 And I told him that I said you know Bob, 16:29 I'm gonna be contacting you, 16:31 I'm gonna want to come down and visit you. 16:33 I want to make sure that you stay on track. 16:36 What he's all for? 16:38 He is you know lot of times you talk to someone like 16:41 oh, yeah I can do this. 16:42 But he is committed. 16:44 And I really believe that this man will do well 16:47 and want to be fun in about six months 16:51 to get him back up here and do another-- 16:52 Yeah, Ron, we got it to do that. Yeah. 16:54 So doc, is there a hope for just all people 16:59 can anybody come here and get the services 17:04 that the Newstart program has and can they get well really? 17:11 You answer that for me because you get it. 17:14 Is this a very talk of question? Okay, I'm sorry. 17:17 Yeah, you know I had to answer a question because-- 17:20 You want me to answer but you can answer better 17:22 but I can't because you had essentially the same thing. 17:26 Yeah. Yes. 17:28 I make ridiculous statements a lot of times 17:30 but what I've seen over the years is people do this. 17:34 I would say 90%, 95% of the people can do it. 17:40 Some times we say in five years to ten years 17:45 you're gonna be, you know the medicines are gonna work 17:48 anymore we're gonna have to put you on insulin 17:51 but I haven't found that. 17:52 Yeah. I haven't found that. 17:54 You know, you're right. 17:55 I can answer that question and you know 17:59 I am so grateful and that's why I'm here. 18:02 That's why I am doing what I do today 18:04 because I am grateful to you and Dr. Wallace to Dr. Heng 18:09 to the many doctors who have helped us. 18:12 Since I've been involved and I've seen the many people 18:16 who have come here hopeless 18:20 thinking that that's it they're gonna lose their leg, 18:22 their eyes said or whatever and they leave here 18:26 and I don't want to use the word healed. 18:28 But they leave here-- On their way, yeah. 18:29 On their way with a changed of lifestyle. 18:34 And so I really want the viewers to get this 18:36 that you know they feel that they threaten 18:39 by a disease of some kind. 18:43 Reach out to one of our lifestyles centers. 18:45 Come here the new style of course 18:47 but there are other lifestyles centers that they can go to. 18:50 And these principles are in the Bible. 18:52 And Bible doesn't change and it gives us the truth. 18:55 Hasn't change in years. It's never gonna change. 18:58 Yeah. 18:59 You know, doc, so would Bob is there anything 19:06 that you had suggested for this nerve situation? 19:12 Yeah, he-- very soon he's gonna get an MRI 19:15 which you should have gone before and see these doctors, 19:21 he's helping with the finances are all his friends 19:23 and everything and he said that he'll go back 19:27 he has the chance to do it a natural way, 19:33 and he has a chance to do over surgery 19:35 and I think that if he does it in a natural way 19:39 because what's God amended 19:41 this problem is going to reverse. 19:46 It's gonna be reversed and then he will you know 19:49 he'll be able to live a good life without a lot of pain. 19:54 So, and-- And the other diseases as well. 19:57 Yes, yes and so in your estimation 20:01 what was the most significant change with Bob? 20:06 Well, he was there because this morning 20:09 when he took his fasting sugar he was 102, 20:13 he probably told you that. 20:14 Yes, he did. 20:16 And the thing is he said that 20:17 I just haven't had numbers like that. 20:19 Yeah. So, he is thrilled. 20:22 So now he is of all diabetes medication? 20:25 All diabetes and that the thing that surprised me was that 20:29 with all the pain that he is having 20:30 that is blood sugar's came under control 20:32 because usually any stresses or especially pain, 20:35 won't do but we had to put him back on his beta blocker 20:41 because when he's having that pain 20:43 his blood pressure would go up. 20:45 Ouch. 20:46 Yeah, but when he relaxed will come back down again. 20:49 How has his blood pressure 20:52 or has it changed in the last couple of weeks? 20:56 Yeah, it has we took him off one of his other medications. 21:00 It was for blood pressure 21:02 and he knows like today his blood pressure was high, 21:07 he was having a bad headache and so forth. 21:10 And so we got him to relax 21:13 and I checked him a little bit very casually 21:19 and I realize his blood pressure was up. 21:21 You know, I just got him to just totally relax 21:24 and he did and we took his blood pressure again 21:27 and it was normal. 21:29 When we see a situation like that do you prescribe 21:32 perhaps more massages, more hydro treatments? 21:36 You know in that scenario strategic that we can get into 21:39 but Dr. William Evans of university, Pennsylvania 21:43 said that the walking was the most important thing. 21:46 If your blood pressure is high 21:47 and you have a regular exercise program 21:49 you can give, you're going to live longer 21:52 and somebody who has a normal blood pressure 21:55 and they are just hadn't done. 21:56 Dr. Lukens, I want to thank you for coming here 21:59 and being on the set with us. 22:00 It's always a pleasure to talk with you. 22:02 And thank you friends, for being with us 22:04 but don't go away we have an important clip to follow. 22:15 Hi, I'm Dr. Randy Bivens. 22:17 Let's began with a puzzling thought. 22:19 A recent article by a financial analyst 22:22 suggests that it is now cheaper to eat 22:24 at a fast food restaurant than to cook at home. 22:27 I don't know about you, but the first thought 22:29 that cross my mind was how is this possible? 22:33 Has our food system really come down to this? 22:36 Shortly after the article was published 22:37 the New York Times published an op-ed 22:39 that compared to typical McDonald's meal for four people 22:43 against the meal of pinto beans and rice for four people. 22:46 Not only was the nutrition of the beans and rice 22:49 which included onion, pepper, and seasoning much better than 22:52 the McDonald's meal but was also 67% cheaper. 22:57 Recently, I heard someone say that 22:58 we should be eating more like our great grandparents. 23:01 Think about it, it makes a lot of sense. 23:03 Eating the way our great grandparents did 23:05 which significantly reduce the cost of food 23:07 for the average person. 23:09 Not to mention curtail our astonishingly 23:11 high intake of preservatives and hormones. 23:14 Take my great grandmother for example. 23:17 Nearly all of the meal she created 23:19 were made using her own food stuff. 23:21 She kept hundreds of quarts of fruits and vegetables 23:24 usually pluck from her very own garden. 23:27 Not only that, she and my great grandfather 23:29 could probably count on their hands the number of times 23:32 that they dined at restaurants each year. 23:35 She and my great grandfather would eat a huge breakfast, 23:38 a large lunch and a very small meal in the late afternoon. 23:43 They eat things that they could grow 23:45 and had a huge garden of variety of berries 23:48 and the large orchid. 23:51 The goal for those as trying to maintain 23:54 or improve our health is to prepare most of our foods 23:57 from ingredients that are healthy. 24:00 Ideally many of the products that we grew 24:02 in our own gardens or from a farmers market 24:04 or at the very least our pack full of chemicals and disease. 24:08 We like to tell people to shop at the edges of the store 24:11 because that's what how they could stuff with. 24:14 Things like fruits and vegetables, nuts and grains 24:17 are often found around the edge of the stores. 24:19 Ironically, the things in boxes 24:22 often live in the center of the store 24:24 and these are often highly processed 24:26 and the origins as well as their nutritional value 24:29 can be horrifying. 24:31 Strategies can be developed that make prep time 24:33 about the same is going to a fast food restaurant. 24:35 For example, you can cook a large meal 24:38 and store the second half of it 24:40 in your freezer for another day. 24:42 Cooking meals ahead of times and freezing them 24:44 is an excellent way to provide you 24:46 with an easy meal on a busy day. 24:49 Some foods which are used in many different dishes 24:51 can be prepared at the beginning of the week 24:53 and stored in a refrigerator. 24:55 This will save you the step of chopping 24:57 and cutting and peeling later on. 25:00 All timely time not money seems to be the biggest excuse. 25:05 People state that they simply do not have time to eat right. 25:08 They are too busy to shop for food and fix it for themselves. 25:12 If you're part of this group, consider this. 25:14 Calculations have shown that for every minute of exercise 25:18 you gain two minutes in longevity. 25:22 Doubtless the same positive adjustment would be found 25:25 when you choose to cook and eat healthy food 25:27 instead of a hyper processed food product tossed 25:30 into the deep fat fryer by a name with someone. 25:34 The average American regardless of income level 25:36 watches no less than 90 minutes of television per day. 25:40 Take 45 minutes of those TV watching minutes 25:43 and dedicate them to cooking yourself a beautiful dinner. 25:47 You'll be able to it do with time to spare I assure you. 25:49 The time is there, we simply need to prioritize. 25:54 Here are some simple rules 25:55 for eating healthy and living order. 25:58 Eat a large breakfast. 26:01 Eat 75% of your calories in the first two meals, 26:04 breakfast and lunch. 26:06 Have only a light meal in the evening 26:08 with food such as soup, cereal or small sandwich 26:11 mainly fruits that are easy to digest. 26:14 And remember to consume plenty of water. 26:18 Consume 10 servings of fruits and vegetables each day. 26:22 Eat a level handful of nuts each day. 26:26 20% of our calories now come from snack foods in America. 26:30 Eliminate snacks. 26:32 Choose whole grains, whole wheat bread, 26:34 whole grains cereals and brown rice. 26:37 Avoid sugar-sweetened beverages including fruit juice. 26:41 Eat more legumes.
