Every year in America,
00:00:12.18\00:00:13.25
there are over
one million deaths
00:00:13.28\00:00:14.77
because of type-2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:14.80\00:00:17.86
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:00:17.89\00:00:20.20
That's six and half
747s crashing everyday.
00:00:20.23\00:00:23.67
What's even more surprising
00:00:23.70\00:00:25.33
is that the fix is
easy, it's your lifestyle.
00:00:25.36\00:00:28.69
Wouldn't it be nice
if you could actually add
00:00:28.72\00:00:30.64
quality years to your life
00:00:30.67\00:00:31.95
rather than dying
of one organ at a time?
00:00:31.98\00:00:34.84
Obesity and
diabetes are the cause
00:00:34.87\00:00:36.56
of over million deaths per year.
00:00:36.59\00:00:39.11
Most diseases are reversible
00:00:39.14\00:00:41.20
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:00:41.23\00:00:44.09
especially type-2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:44.12\00:00:47.56
Seriously now,
they can be reversed
00:00:47.59\00:00:49.82
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.

Hi, friends and welcome
00:01:12.69\00:01:13.95
to another
addition of Newstart Now.
00:01:13.98\00:01:16.33
I'm your host, Ron Giannoni.
00:01:16.36\00:01:18.85
In our studio today, we
have Newell Thomas Mckie
00:01:18.88\00:01:23.12
and we're gonna
be calling him "Skip"
00:01:23.15\00:01:25.92
but stay tuned
00:01:25.95\00:01:27.35
because at the
end of our program,
00:01:27.38\00:01:29.96
we're gonna have
a short dissertation
00:01:29.99\00:01:32.89
by Dr. Randy Bivens on air.
00:01:32.92\00:01:37.00
So let's break
away, take a look at
00:01:37.03\00:01:39.01
when "Skip" first arrived.
00:01:39.04\00:01:43.28
I've always been a sugar addict
00:01:43.31\00:01:45.52
and I've gained
quite a bit weight
00:01:45.55\00:01:48.34
and I was recently
diagnosed with osteoarthritis
00:01:48.37\00:01:52.96
and I was told the only
cure is surgery or medicines
00:01:52.99\00:01:58.69
and I had other friend
who came to this institution
00:01:58.72\00:02:02.59
and got wonderful results
00:02:02.62\00:02:04.73
and that's why I'm
here to get results.
00:02:04.76\00:02:07.59
I've been on a yo-yo diet
00:02:07.62\00:02:09.35
and I performed much
better at lower weight
00:02:09.38\00:02:11.37
and I know and
with the joint problems
00:02:11.40\00:02:14.86
from osteoarthritis
00:02:14.89\00:02:16.64
a weight reduction
would be tremendous.
00:02:16.67\00:02:18.67
I watched my dad
go through illnesses
00:02:18.70\00:02:22.66
from the corporate lifestyle.
00:02:22.69\00:02:25.63
He gained
tremendous amount of weight
00:02:25.66\00:02:27.20
and destroyed his body.
00:02:27.23\00:02:29.45
He went through
numerous surgeries
00:02:29.48\00:02:31.28
and I don't want to go that way.
00:02:31.31\00:02:35.12
Health to me is magic.
00:02:35.15\00:02:37.72
You can't enjoy
life without good health.
00:02:37.75\00:02:43.11
Hi, friends and welcome back
00:02:43.14\00:02:45.00
as I promised
"Skip" Newell Thomas Mckie.
00:02:45.03\00:02:49.31
Oh, that's a mouth full.
00:02:49.34\00:02:51.70
I want to get
right into the interview
00:02:51.73\00:02:53.54
because we don't
have a lot of time
00:02:53.57\00:02:55.25
but share with me if you
would, what has happened?
00:02:55.28\00:03:01.03
Well, I've had
fairly good success.
00:03:01.06\00:03:02.94
I've gotten off all medications.
00:03:02.97\00:03:05.41
Well, wait a
minute, let me stop you.
00:03:05.44\00:03:06.71
Okay.
00:03:06.74\00:03:07.82
You said fairly good success?
00:03:07.85\00:03:10.38
Well, I'd say excellent success.
00:03:10.41\00:03:12.24
Okay, I just want to-- I
want to hear you say that
00:03:12.27\00:03:15.49
because what I just heard
from the difference between
00:03:15.52\00:03:19.02
when you got here and
now, you are changed man.
00:03:19.05\00:03:22.13
Pretty much, all my
medications are gone.
00:03:22.16\00:03:25.13
My blood pressure is
equal to or better than
00:03:25.16\00:03:28.08
when I was on the medication.
00:03:28.11\00:03:30.16
Are you are off the medication?
00:03:30.19\00:03:31.40
Totally off the medication.
00:03:31.43\00:03:32.99
And what's your blood pressure?
00:03:33.02\00:03:34.92
128/85, this morning.
00:03:34.95\00:03:38.34
Without medication?
00:03:38.37\00:03:39.40
Without medication.
00:03:39.43\00:03:40.49
Amen. Yeah.
00:03:40.52\00:03:41.73
Tell me more I'm
excited about this.
00:03:41.76\00:03:43.16
Well, I've--
00:03:43.19\00:03:47.00
one goal was I
have osteoarthritis.
00:03:47.03\00:03:49.05
Yeah.
00:03:49.08\00:03:50.14
And my joints
were beginning to hurt
00:03:50.17\00:03:53.13
and I was-- the only
solution is operations
00:03:53.16\00:03:56.58
or drugs to kill the
pain and-- and with the diet
00:03:56.61\00:04:01.01
I'm on right now,
I'm pretty much pain,
00:04:01.04\00:04:04.23
pain free and enjoying it
00:04:04.26\00:04:06.50
and walking five to seven miles
a day with no adverse effects.
00:04:06.53\00:04:10.77
Wow, five to
seven miles in a day.
00:04:10.80\00:04:15.13
I used do that
when I had a coach.
00:04:15.16\00:04:17.66
That was living
with me for a short time.
00:04:17.69\00:04:20.56
In fact, he's right
behind this camera, Rich Smith.
00:04:20.59\00:04:25.32
We've been friends
together for quite awhile,
00:04:25.35\00:04:28.87
he used to work here.
00:04:28.90\00:04:30.80
Nonetheless, I'm
really proud of you.
00:04:30.83\00:04:34.38
I'm so proud because
when you first arrived,
00:04:34.41\00:04:37.43
I wasn't sure that you
would actually do real well.
00:04:37.46\00:04:42.14
I mean, may be
you weren't either.
00:04:42.17\00:04:43.68
Maybe that was
been conveyed to me
00:04:43.71\00:04:46.04
but you've done
tremendously well.
00:04:46.07\00:04:48.65
Well, I'm very
happy with the results
00:04:48.68\00:04:50.75
and I must admit, I was
a little skeptical going in
00:04:50.78\00:04:53.48
but I'm a believer, as we speak.
00:04:53.51\00:04:56.67
How much weight have you lost?
00:04:56.70\00:04:58.31
I've only lost about 7 pounds
but I've gained a little muscle
00:04:58.34\00:05:03.15
that I didn't one
when I first got here.
00:05:03.18\00:05:04.76
That's right.
00:05:04.79\00:05:05.84
And I anticipate to
lose about 25 more pounds.
00:05:05.87\00:05:10.13
Okay, what are the conditions
were you dealing with that
00:05:10.16\00:05:12.40
we haven't talked about?
00:05:12.43\00:05:14.24
Well, those were the
two major conditions.
00:05:14.27\00:05:16.64
Two major? Okay.
00:05:16.67\00:05:17.71
But I've noticed an
improvement in my skin.
00:05:17.74\00:05:22.47
I don't have the sugar,
desire for sugar anymore.
00:05:22.50\00:05:27.95
I would call, have
called myself a sugarholic.
00:05:27.98\00:05:30.40
Really?
00:05:30.43\00:05:31.48
And that desire is no longer.
00:05:31.51\00:05:35.97
And what does a sugarholic
do, tell me what you use to do?
00:05:36.00\00:05:38.89
I would go a mile out
of my way for a donut.
00:05:38.92\00:05:42.26
For a donut?
00:05:42.29\00:05:43.92
And at the
strangest times a day.
00:05:43.95\00:05:47.57
It just-- No particular time
00:05:47.60\00:05:51.40
just when the mood would strike.
00:05:51.43\00:05:52.82
Whenever that
little guy inside says,
00:05:52.85\00:05:54.77
"I need a donut?"
00:05:54.80\00:05:56.18
I'm asking you this
question for a reason.
00:05:56.21\00:05:59.04
You know how many viewers
are watching you right now,
00:05:59.07\00:06:01.07
saying, "he's just like me.
00:06:01.10\00:06:04.14
I got to have a donut. I
got to have a piece of pie.
00:06:04.17\00:06:07.08
I got to have
sugar, I got to have this,
00:06:07.11\00:06:08.69
that, the other things."
00:06:08.72\00:06:09.94
And you just confessed
that you don't need to do that.
00:06:09.97\00:06:13.43
No, I don't-- I don't need.
00:06:13.46\00:06:14.52
Well, how do you change?
00:06:14.55\00:06:16.13
Just the wonderful diet I'm on.
00:06:16.16\00:06:19.27
You are on a diet?
00:06:19.30\00:06:20.38
I definitely I am on a diet.
00:06:20.41\00:06:22.81
You mean a lifestyle?
00:06:22.84\00:06:23.87
A lifestyle.
00:06:23.90\00:06:24.96
I like to call it that
because diet sounds like
00:06:24.99\00:06:27.76
something I'm
gonna do for awhile.
00:06:27.79\00:06:29.85
Yeah.
00:06:29.88\00:06:30.94
Lifestyle is something I've
chosen to live by permanently
00:06:30.97\00:06:36.55
and obviously
you've made that choice
00:06:36.58\00:06:39.81
and you're body is balancing.
00:06:39.84\00:06:43.61
To be off a medicine
00:06:43.64\00:06:45.43
and be free of
joint pain at the time,
00:06:45.46\00:06:48.63
I think I can
live with this diet.
00:06:48.66\00:06:51.13
Lifestyle.
00:06:51.16\00:06:52.93
Lifestyle.
00:06:52.96\00:06:54.11
Okay, now, you call
it whatever you like.
00:06:54.14\00:06:56.98
I like to
interchange those two words
00:06:57.01\00:06:59.85
because they do again
convey us certain thing,
00:06:59.88\00:07:04.05
you know eating habits
00:07:04.08\00:07:05.60
and this is more than
about food, wouldn't you say?
00:07:05.63\00:07:09.72
Yes, definitely.
00:07:09.75\00:07:11.16
Yeah, like
walking five to six miles.
00:07:11.19\00:07:14.00
Yeah, if anybody told me,
00:07:14.03\00:07:15.27
I'd be walking
seven miles a day.
00:07:15.30\00:07:16.83
I'd called him insane.
00:07:16.86\00:07:19.51
Insane at least,
what else has happened
00:07:19.54\00:07:22.39
that has changed
your sleep habits,
00:07:22.42\00:07:27.54
have they changed at all?
00:07:27.57\00:07:29.49
Sleeping very soundly
and enjoying it though
00:07:29.52\00:07:34.21
and no TV at night,
00:07:34.24\00:07:37.75
just quiet restful
sleep and it's been great.
00:07:37.78\00:07:42.39
How's the staff treated you?
00:07:42.42\00:07:44.57
Oh, everybody has been superb,
good student relationship.
00:07:44.60\00:07:50.03
I've met a lot of
really nice people.
00:07:50.06\00:07:51.92
Everybody on
staff has been terrific
00:07:51.95\00:07:54.39
and the doctors
have been out of sight,
00:07:54.42\00:07:56.95
they'd really
go out of their way
00:07:56.98\00:07:59.66
to make you feel comfortable.
00:07:59.69\00:08:01.32
Now, you'd say
student relationship.
00:08:01.35\00:08:06.63
I'd like everyone to know
that we have a college here
00:08:06.66\00:08:10.28
and a high school
and I think once a while
00:08:10.31\00:08:12.48
we have a little
junior kind of school,
00:08:12.51\00:08:17.09
but you get to mix in
with all these young folks
00:08:17.12\00:08:21.37
and they kind of help out
in a program here and there.
00:08:21.40\00:08:25.40
Well, a lot of them were--
00:08:25.43\00:08:27.03
instructors were
much younger than I.
00:08:27.06\00:08:28.76
Yes.
00:08:28.79\00:08:29.82
And they were
all very professional
00:08:29.85\00:08:31.84
and very helpful and very kind.
00:08:31.87\00:08:34.12
Now what about food,
how'd you like the food?
00:08:34.15\00:08:38.28
Oh, there were some
foods that I could leave
00:08:38.31\00:08:40.84
but 98% of the
food were wonderful
00:08:40.87\00:08:43.83
and will be learning
00:08:43.86\00:08:47.20
how to prepare
those foods with myself.
00:08:47.23\00:08:49.03
Yes.
00:08:49.06\00:08:50.43
I've learned up
to a certain degree
00:08:50.46\00:08:51.98
but I have a lot
of practice a head.
00:08:52.01\00:08:54.65
We broke away for lunch
during our interviews today
00:08:54.68\00:08:59.52
and Rich, myself, my wife,
00:08:59.55\00:09:02.03
and another friend
had delicious vegan soups.
00:09:02.06\00:09:05.40
We had a salad,
bread, and she made a salmon,
00:09:05.43\00:09:10.71
isn't really salmon
but it taste likes salmon
00:09:10.74\00:09:14.49
and it was absolutely delightful
00:09:14.52\00:09:17.54
and I can't imagine
eating any other way.
00:09:17.57\00:09:22.02
Well, it's a big
change in my life.
00:09:22.05\00:09:24.99
My wife's a cecilian
00:09:25.02\00:09:26.87
and she cooks of
the Mediterranean style,
00:09:26.90\00:09:29.31
so I think when we're
gonna be able to adapt.
00:09:29.34\00:09:32.21
Well, I'm
half-cecilian, so I understand.
00:09:32.24\00:09:35.16
They use a lot of
oil, a lot of fat.
00:09:35.19\00:09:38.04
So she's gonna have
to scale back on that.
00:09:38.07\00:09:41.52
Yeah.
00:09:41.55\00:09:43.03
What about anything else
00:09:43.06\00:09:44.34
that you
experienced while you were here,
00:09:44.37\00:09:47.92
that you want to share?
00:09:47.95\00:09:49.72
Well, I think
just meeting the people
00:09:49.75\00:09:51.63
from all over the country
00:09:51.66\00:09:53.64
and then parts of South America,
00:09:53.67\00:09:56.80
just listening to their problems
00:09:56.83\00:09:58.50
and how they're progressing
00:09:58.53\00:09:59.81
and just to camaraderie
that we've managed to enjoy.
00:09:59.84\00:10:05.74
Helping one another.
00:10:05.77\00:10:07.13
Yep, yeah, we're--
00:10:07.16\00:10:08.50
we do help each
other quite a bit,
00:10:08.53\00:10:09.78
I think and especially
during the walking phases
00:10:09.81\00:10:12.69
it's nice to have
a friend along so.
00:10:12.72\00:10:15.23
Yeah, your doctor now is doctor?
00:10:15.26\00:10:18.59
Dr. Lukens.
00:10:18.62\00:10:20.47
And we'll be interviewing
him right after you.
00:10:20.50\00:10:24.63
How does he say, you're faring?
00:10:24.66\00:10:26.94
I think, he's
happy with my progress.
00:10:26.97\00:10:31.15
He's been very, very encouraging
00:10:31.18\00:10:33.79
and helped me with a
couple of my personal issues.
00:10:33.82\00:10:37.54
He's just been very
understanding and topnotch.
00:10:37.57\00:10:42.69
And last but not least, I
want you to think about this,
00:10:42.72\00:10:46.08
what you're gonna
do when you get home?
00:10:46.11\00:10:48.77
How are you going to
implement this lifestyle?
00:10:48.80\00:10:52.05
How will it infringe
on your old lifestyle?
00:10:52.08\00:10:56.67
Is it gonna be an easy
change when you get back home?
00:10:56.70\00:11:00.73
Here it seems fairly
easy because it's all set up.
00:11:00.76\00:11:03.96
What about when you get home?
00:11:03.99\00:11:05.02
Well, I'm sure I'll make
some mistakes along the way
00:11:05.05\00:11:07.68
but I've been
assured that I can call
00:11:07.71\00:11:11.24
and ask questions
00:11:11.27\00:11:12.46
and get advice
from the instructors.
00:11:12.49\00:11:16.89
Don't
anticipate a major problem.
00:11:16.92\00:11:20.24
Good and do you have any
plans on teaching the family
00:11:20.27\00:11:25.27
or anyone else
this new lifestyle?
00:11:25.30\00:11:28.33
As I progressed
through the lifestyle,
00:11:28.36\00:11:31.42
I think I can
probably teach by example.
00:11:31.45\00:11:34.51
Yeah.
00:11:34.54\00:11:35.57
And I hope-- I
hope that'll work.
00:11:35.60\00:11:37.53
Yeah, well, I think
you are an amazing guy.
00:11:37.56\00:11:41.81
I think it took
a lot of gumption
00:11:41.84\00:11:44.44
to come on the set here
and share your testimony.
00:11:44.47\00:11:49.67
But event to come
here because I remember
00:11:49.70\00:11:52.18
although I wanted to come,
00:11:52.21\00:11:53.94
I was little apprehensive
because I was afraid.
00:11:53.97\00:11:56.77
I didn't know what would happen.
00:11:56.80\00:11:58.90
But here you are,
you've experienced,
00:11:58.93\00:12:01.27
I notice you're
wearing your belt
00:12:01.30\00:12:03.59
and your trousers
little bit differently,
00:12:03.62\00:12:06.12
and you're starting to
see that old Skip come out?
00:12:06.15\00:12:10.40
I'd have to agree with that.
00:12:10.43\00:12:12.10
Yeah, and remember now and
we'll doing some follow up.
00:12:12.13\00:12:17.59
I'll be calling
you from time to time
00:12:17.62\00:12:20.17
and seeing if you
have any questions.
00:12:20.20\00:12:23.10
I want to thank you again
Skip for coming on the program.
00:12:23.13\00:12:26.50
God bless you.
00:12:26.53\00:12:27.57
And your new lifestyle,
and friends don't go away
00:12:27.60\00:12:31.28
because we have a message
00:12:31.31\00:12:32.34
and an
interview with Dr. Lukens.
00:12:32.37\00:12:34.94
Hi, friends and welcome back
in our studio, Dr. Rich Lukens.
00:13:07.37\00:13:11.40
Yeah, it's always good.
00:13:11.43\00:13:13.02
It's good that you can be here
00:13:13.05\00:13:14.69
and just for the viewers' sake,
00:13:14.72\00:13:16.91
you've been here
25 years on staff
00:13:16.94\00:13:20.89
and what did you do
before you got here,
00:13:20.92\00:13:22.65
I never asked you that?
00:13:22.68\00:13:23.89
I was in Africa for 15 years.
00:13:23.92\00:13:26.14
Oh, okay. And.
00:13:26.17\00:13:28.10
And lifestyle diseases
are not existent over there.
00:13:28.13\00:13:32.47
Is that a fact?
00:13:32.50\00:13:33.55
Yeah, in 15 years I saw only saw
00:13:33.58\00:13:35.78
two people with a heart attack.
00:13:35.81\00:13:37.69
I was working amongst
the African nationals,
00:13:37.72\00:13:41.28
in the countries and
their diet is so different
00:13:41.31\00:13:44.42
and their exercise
is beyond beliefs so.
00:13:44.45\00:13:46.85
So that is a good subway into
00:13:46.88\00:13:50.42
what we're gonna
be talking about here.
00:13:50.45\00:13:51.70
Yeah, I do.
00:13:51.73\00:13:52.76
Diet and exercise, which I
like to refer to is lifestyle
00:13:52.79\00:13:57.54
because in my new lifestyle,
in Skip's new lifestyle,
00:13:57.57\00:14:02.58
it's about diet and exercise,
00:14:02.61\00:14:05.12
which we call a
certain, tell us about this?
00:14:05.15\00:14:09.56
Well, you know for him, he--
00:14:09.59\00:14:13.28
he didn't mention
that he's an airline pilot.
00:14:13.31\00:14:15.12
Yes.
00:14:15.15\00:14:16.20
And at-- you know when you--
00:14:16.23\00:14:19.01
one day you're physically
fit and you are ready to go.
00:14:19.04\00:14:23.71
You can do all
this kind of stuff
00:14:23.74\00:14:25.56
and then 24 hours later,
you are not physically fit.
00:14:25.59\00:14:28.41
You are not-- you
know they've changed
00:14:28.44\00:14:30.27
that now, I think they given
00:14:30.30\00:14:31.39
over an extra may be
five years and so forth.
00:14:31.42\00:14:34.96
But you know that
kind of a schedule
00:14:34.99\00:14:39.29
and you know airport food.
00:14:39.32\00:14:41.89
Oh, boy.
00:14:41.92\00:14:44.31
I don't think there
is a fast food company
00:14:44.34\00:14:46.38
that doesn't like the airports
00:14:46.41\00:14:49.20
and so you know
eating that kind of stuff
00:14:49.23\00:14:50.90
and he didn't know, he
didn't know about diets
00:14:50.93\00:14:53.33
and that kind of stuff and
in the stress and so forth.
00:14:53.36\00:14:57.63
He is such that-- you can tell,
00:14:57.66\00:14:58.89
he such a very nice gentlemen,
00:14:58.92\00:15:01.53
if I-- if I was
you know seeing him
00:15:01.56\00:15:06.89
come down the corridor,
he's got the four of stripes
00:15:06.92\00:15:09.45
that's the Skipper, I'd say.
00:15:09.48\00:15:10.70
Yeah. Now this is gonna--
00:15:10.73\00:15:12.32
This is when I flied.
00:15:12.35\00:15:14.40
This guy looks
like he really knows
00:15:14.43\00:15:16.41
what he's doing and
he is such a nice guy.
00:15:16.44\00:15:19.01
And it was hard
to see him, you know
00:15:19.04\00:15:20.56
because you saw
him when he came in.
00:15:20.59\00:15:22.69
He was tenuous you know about--
00:15:22.72\00:15:24.36
Yeah.
00:15:24.39\00:15:25.46
Hoping... Can this really...
00:15:25.49\00:15:27.40
I don't know, yeah,
he told me all that.
00:15:27.43\00:15:30.19
But you know
when I met him I said,
00:15:30.22\00:15:31.98
there is something
different about this guy.
00:15:32.01\00:15:34.35
I felt comfortable around him.
00:15:34.38\00:15:37.00
Yeah, you do, yeah.
00:15:37.03\00:15:38.40
Yeah, and that's the pilot.
00:15:38.43\00:15:40.95
Yeah.
00:15:40.98\00:15:42.05
Yeah, I'd like to fly with him.
00:15:42.08\00:15:43.97
And I don't like to fly.
00:15:44.00\00:15:45.23
Yeah, I know that's right.
00:15:45.26\00:15:46.95
But anyway, yeah
00:15:46.98\00:15:48.51
and a couple of things with him.
00:15:48.54\00:15:50.84
His cholesterol
was just unbelievable.
00:15:50.87\00:15:54.10
They had him on three different
cholesterol medications.
00:15:54.13\00:15:57.39
For what, why
would they do that?
00:15:57.42\00:15:59.05
Well, because--
well, like his mother,
00:15:59.08\00:16:02.16
her cholesterol is
between 350 and 400,
00:16:02.19\00:16:05.00
would you be okay with that?
00:16:05.03\00:16:06.81
Wow, mine's
never been like that?
00:16:06.84\00:16:09.73
No, and -- so anyway he,
00:16:09.76\00:16:13.28
you know he had that
as part of his genetics
00:16:13.31\00:16:15.30
and what you do is
when there is a problem
00:16:15.33\00:16:18.35
you put another medicine in
on and then but it isn't doing
00:16:18.38\00:16:21.74
what you wanted to
do you add another--
00:16:21.77\00:16:23.59
Another one. And so
forth and eventually.
00:16:23.62\00:16:26.49
You're not talking about
us here, you don't do that?
00:16:26.52\00:16:30.12
No, but that's what the
doctor would have to do.
00:16:30.15\00:16:32.39
In the outside world.
00:16:32.42\00:16:34.88
Yeah, right.
00:16:34.91\00:16:36.53
To get his
cholesterol numbers down
00:16:36.56\00:16:38.41
to where they're
supposed to be and.
00:16:38.44\00:16:40.56
But they weren't where
they were supposed to be?
00:16:40.59\00:16:42.70
No, well, his was approaching
00:16:42.73\00:16:45.60
that with all the
medicines that he was one.
00:16:45.63\00:16:48.63
But my family
practice journals ten years ago
00:16:48.66\00:16:52.10
and family
practice news is they say,
00:16:52.13\00:16:54.54
"look, you give this medication
it comes down a little bit"
00:16:54.57\00:16:57.74
and the doctors
says, "all right,
00:16:57.77\00:16:59.55
but you know
it's better if its,"
00:16:59.58\00:17:02.49
you know and then
the next went and so.
00:17:02.52\00:17:08.18
When you get the numbers down
00:17:08.21\00:17:09.84
that's what my family
practice journal would say,
00:17:09.87\00:17:12.31
"so you get the numbers to
where you want them to do."
00:17:12.34\00:17:15.54
And you say, "and
all of these medications
00:17:15.57\00:17:18.85
they always
advertised along with lifestyle,
00:17:18.88\00:17:23.07
and exercise, and diet change."
00:17:23.10\00:17:26.51
This is a little bit
of add junk for you know,
00:17:26.54\00:17:30.44
so Americans are all
doing the lifestyle, all right.
00:17:30.47\00:17:33.61
Since 1970, the average
American is 25 pounds heavier.
00:17:33.64\00:17:38.46
So it isn't working that well.
00:17:38.49\00:17:40.67
No.
00:17:40.70\00:17:41.73
So anyway, so they do
that but then now if you say,
00:17:41.76\00:17:46.03
"hey, we want your
cholesterol to be below 200"
00:17:46.06\00:17:51.22
and I think that by that time,
his was like 150 some you see.
00:17:51.25\00:17:57.12
Now, he came here primarily
00:17:57.15\00:17:59.86
and he told me this is
because of his arthritis.
00:17:59.89\00:18:02.46
He'd already had a
surgery on his one hand,
00:18:02.49\00:18:05.12
he's going to have
to have it on the others
00:18:05.15\00:18:06.76
and then you know, he
said, he told you that,
00:18:06.79\00:18:10.42
his dad just has some,
00:18:10.45\00:18:12.52
you know towards
the end of the life
00:18:12.55\00:18:15.41
more and more surgeries,
more and more procedures,
00:18:15.44\00:18:18.04
more and more, and
from the time he was,
00:18:18.07\00:18:21.25
he was Skip's age himself,
00:18:21.28\00:18:23.60
he was in his 80's when he died.
00:18:23.63\00:18:26.66
I mean it was just--
00:18:26.69\00:18:27.76
it wasn't a happy
life or wasn't a good life.
00:18:27.79\00:18:30.82
It would just go
after the next pain
00:18:30.85\00:18:32.46
and after the next pain.
00:18:32.49\00:18:34.14
So say you've got that,
00:18:34.17\00:18:37.80
that cholesterol
down now to the 150 range.
00:18:37.83\00:18:42.35
And now I'm gonna talk
to him about lifestyle.
00:18:42.38\00:18:46.33
Okay, now Skip you've got
00:18:46.36\00:18:48.23
to get your
three to five miles in
00:18:48.26\00:18:50.03
because we want to get
your cholesterol down to 150.
00:18:50.06\00:18:53.63
You've got to stop eating
all meats, the flesh foods.
00:18:53.66\00:18:57.68
In fact, you'll do best
00:18:57.71\00:18:59.06
if you go on totally
whole plant foods you see
00:18:59.09\00:19:02.37
and sometimes they
have to go on no oil
00:19:02.40\00:19:04.84
whatsoever whether it's--
00:19:04.87\00:19:06.60
whether it's a vegetable
oil even beautiful olive oil
00:19:06.63\00:19:10.84
that they
advertise and stuff like that
00:19:10.87\00:19:12.64
to get it down but
we know that it'll work.
00:19:12.67\00:19:16.07
So he came here
primarily for these joints
00:19:16.10\00:19:19.90
and we've seen that
because here we go on
00:19:19.93\00:19:23.67
the prostaglandins again,
00:19:23.70\00:19:25.42
they dilate the
tiny little blood vessels
00:19:25.45\00:19:27.55
so you get 75% more flow
00:19:27.58\00:19:29.95
to the heart, the
brain, and the kidneys
00:19:29.98\00:19:32.42
and he wasn't
particularly worried about that
00:19:32.45\00:19:34.80
but he was
worried about the joints.
00:19:34.83\00:19:37.90
And that has gotten better?
00:19:37.93\00:19:39.75
And the other thing
that prostaglandins do
00:19:39.78\00:19:43.66
is that they
decrease the inflammation.
00:19:43.69\00:19:48.62
And so he was really surprised
00:19:48.65\00:19:50.34
that I think at the
end of the first week,
00:19:50.37\00:19:52.92
when I saw him there, he said,
00:19:52.95\00:19:54.61
"you know I had to
have surgery on this hand."
00:19:54.64\00:19:57.40
But he said, "this
one doesn't hurt anymore.
00:19:57.43\00:20:00.30
I may not have to have surgery"
00:20:00.33\00:20:02.59
and I said, "you
are exactly right.
00:20:02.62\00:20:04.89
Stay on your
lifestyle and you won't"
00:20:04.92\00:20:07.51
and so that's the
reason why we take
00:20:07.54\00:20:11.12
even the Advil and aspirin
and all these kind of things.
00:20:11.15\00:20:14.74
Because they work against
00:20:14.77\00:20:17.42
the inflammatory prostaglandins.
00:20:17.45\00:20:20.33
No, but what about--
00:20:20.36\00:20:22.02
His was done now with having
a new set of prostaglandins
00:20:22.05\00:20:25.73
because he's only been
on a plant based dieting
00:20:25.76\00:20:29.60
and I think people just
nobody knows that hardly.
00:20:29.63\00:20:32.85
Well, how is that--
or doesn't have any--
00:20:32.88\00:20:36.01
anything to do
with high cholesterol?
00:20:36.04\00:20:40.53
I know that the cholesterol is--
00:20:40.56\00:20:43.76
well, the fats, it
has to do with the fats.
00:20:43.79\00:20:46.93
So its only peripherally
related with a high cholesterol
00:20:46.96\00:20:50.75
is something that
keeps stimulating the liver
00:20:50.78\00:20:54.79
to make more cholesterol
00:20:54.82\00:20:56.57
because that's one
of my favorites subject
00:20:56.60\00:20:58.52
I can't get out it but
free oil in the stomach
00:20:58.55\00:21:02.61
turns the
cholesterol mechanism on
00:21:02.64\00:21:04.81
and takes about five
weeks to turn it off.
00:21:04.84\00:21:07.13
Even with vegan vegetarian,
you have to go low fat
00:21:07.16\00:21:12.10
and that's what
plugs up to blood vessels
00:21:12.13\00:21:13.94
but the idea is that
the big blood vessels
00:21:13.97\00:21:17.92
are plugged up all the
way but if you open up the end
00:21:17.95\00:21:21.63
it's just like taking
out a plugged up filter
00:21:21.66\00:21:24.75
and the physicists
when they come through I say
00:21:24.78\00:21:26.98
"well, tell me
about this" and they say,
00:21:27.01\00:21:28.66
"yeah, people are getting
75% more oxygenated blood
00:21:28.69\00:21:33.63
that's why their
hearts get so strong
00:21:33.66\00:21:35.20
and pumps the
water out their legs."
00:21:35.23\00:21:39.25
Tell us we have
about a minute left doctor.
00:21:39.28\00:21:43.01
What can viewers do at home?
00:21:43.04\00:21:46.34
Well, see for him,
he explain it this way,
00:21:46.37\00:21:52.03
"if somebody had told me
00:21:52.06\00:21:53.59
I was gonna be
walking five to seven miles,
00:21:53.62\00:21:55.76
I'd have told
them they were crazy."
00:21:55.79\00:21:57.68
Well, the thing is that
you have to build up on it.
00:21:57.71\00:22:00.48
So don't just say well, I
saw this guy on television
00:22:00.51\00:22:03.90
and he just went from nothing
up to five to seven miles
00:22:03.93\00:22:08.11
and oh, you can tear things up.
00:22:08.14\00:22:10.09
But just do something
00:22:10.12\00:22:11.17
and then as your body
gets more physically fit,
00:22:11.20\00:22:14.54
more and more and more
00:22:14.57\00:22:15.82
until finally
you get to the place
00:22:15.85\00:22:17.90
where you just,
you are energized
00:22:17.93\00:22:19.47
and you can go out
and do it, you know that.
00:22:19.50\00:22:22.00
I know that but I
wanted to hear it from you.
00:22:22.03\00:22:25.12
Because that's
what happened with me.
00:22:25.15\00:22:26.84
Yeah.
00:22:26.87\00:22:28.48
You know I
think as you mentioned
00:22:28.51\00:22:31.48
in a previous
program, I'll do some follow up
00:22:31.51\00:22:35.03
and that's one of
my jobs is working
00:22:35.06\00:22:38.01
and following up on our guests
00:22:38.04\00:22:40.02
and it'll be delight
full to be chatting with him.
00:22:40.05\00:22:43.68
Yeah, I really well,
he's such a nice guy.
00:22:43.71\00:22:46.50
I want to thank you,
for coming on the program.
00:22:46.53\00:22:48.70
It's always good to see you.
00:22:48.73\00:22:49.82
And it's so good to
see a success person
00:22:49.85\00:22:51.11
interviewing us, because he--
00:22:51.14\00:22:52.21
Amen.
00:22:52.24\00:22:53.27
You can give your own testimony.
00:22:53.30\00:22:54.98
And friends don't go away
00:22:55.01\00:22:56.20
because, Dr. Randy
Bivens will be right with us.
00:22:56.23\00:22:59.39
Hi, I'm, Dr. Randy Bivens
00:23:05.04\00:23:07.76
although we can
survive for weeks without food
00:23:07.79\00:23:10.10
and multiple days without water.
00:23:10.13\00:23:12.40
We would die
after just a few minutes
00:23:12.43\00:23:14.34
without a breath of air.
00:23:14.37\00:23:16.28
Audrey Mestre came from a family
00:23:16.31\00:23:18.39
of scuba divers and snorkelers
00:23:18.42\00:23:20.08
and spent a large
portion of life underwater.
00:23:20.11\00:23:23.57
She was so confident in
her abilities that in 2002,
00:23:23.60\00:23:27.24
she attempted a world
record dive of 561 feet.
00:23:27.27\00:23:31.97
The day of the dive came
in 300 feet tragedy strike.
00:23:32.00\00:23:35.35
Audrey blacked out
00:23:35.38\00:23:36.53
and was rushed
back up to the surface
00:23:36.56\00:23:38.33
but after spending nine
long minutes without oxygen
00:23:38.36\00:23:42.25
she could not be
revived, and she passed away.
00:23:42.28\00:23:45.54
Audrey's death brings to light
00:23:45.57\00:23:47.16
just how crucial
air is to our lives.
00:23:47.19\00:23:50.01
But how much do we
really know about it?
00:23:50.04\00:23:53.30
Air is roughly 21%
oxygen and 79% nitrogen,
00:23:53.33\00:23:58.00
in addition to the oxygen
that your cells need to survive.
00:23:58.03\00:24:01.56
There are small amounts
of other elements as well
00:24:01.59\00:24:03.44
as particular
material such as pollens,
00:24:03.47\00:24:05.77
dust, molds, and
other pollutants.
00:24:05.80\00:24:09.50
The best air to
breath for optimum health
00:24:09.53\00:24:11.86
is oxygen-rich
negatively charged air.
00:24:11.89\00:24:15.92
A charged atom is called an ion,
00:24:15.95\00:24:18.84
ions can be either negatively
or positively charged,
00:24:18.87\00:24:23.21
negatively charged ions having
more electrons than protons.
00:24:23.24\00:24:27.64
The negative charge in air
is usually attached to oxygen.
00:24:27.67\00:24:32.22
Negative ion tends to
concentrate in your rivers
00:24:32.25\00:24:34.70
and waterfalls
due to their movement.
00:24:34.73\00:24:37.54
They also exists in places like
beaches, forests, mountains,
00:24:37.57\00:24:41.93
and interestingly enough
00:24:41.96\00:24:43.91
areas that have just
been struck by lightning.
00:24:43.94\00:24:46.99
All of these places
have something in common
00:24:47.02\00:24:49.12
other than the profusion
of healthy negative ions.
00:24:49.15\00:24:52.21
They all seem to
congregate in the outdoors,
00:24:52.24\00:24:54.61
specifically the
wild and natural outdoors.
00:24:54.64\00:24:58.40
In fact, it's often
been discovered that
00:24:58.43\00:25:00.37
the number of negative
ions in any of the places
00:25:00.40\00:25:03.34
I just mentioned
is up to 10 times more
00:25:03.37\00:25:07.61
than the office or bedroom
you're sitting in right now.
00:25:07.64\00:25:10.96
Negative ions are also
referred to as happy ions
00:25:10.99\00:25:14.35
because they
contribute it to better moods,
00:25:14.38\00:25:16.60
more energy, and
overall sense of wellbeing.
00:25:16.63\00:25:20.85
Have you ever noticed your mood
00:25:20.88\00:25:22.31
after leaving a
sunny day at the beach
00:25:22.34\00:25:24.05
or after hiking to a
grand rushing waterfall?
00:25:24.08\00:25:27.13
Maybe you noticed
that you feel refreshed.
00:25:27.16\00:25:29.31
You feel calm and happy.
00:25:29.34\00:25:32.34
There is a reason
for that happiness.
00:25:32.37\00:25:34.57
Study show that people
who spent time in environments
00:25:34.60\00:25:37.46
with a high
negative ion concentration
00:25:37.49\00:25:40.38
are less likely to be depressed.
00:25:40.41\00:25:42.70
They sleep better
and have more energy too.
00:25:42.73\00:25:45.94
On the flipside positive
ions have been associated
00:25:45.97\00:25:48.66
with higher levels of
anxiety and depression.
00:25:48.69\00:25:51.75
So how do we get
more negative ions?
00:25:51.78\00:25:55.05
Go to a place where
there are higher concentrations
00:25:55.08\00:25:57.20
of negative ions,
like a forest or the beach.
00:25:57.23\00:26:01.52
Intentionally take three to five
00:26:01.55\00:26:03.45
very deep breaths of clean air,
00:26:03.48\00:26:06.23
doesn't that offer
you some refreshing?
00:26:06.26\00:26:08.76
The result of rising
oxygen levels is a clear mind
00:26:08.79\00:26:13.59
but what if you don't
live near a forest or an ocean?
00:26:13.62\00:26:16.19
Well, before you
go to sleep tonight,
00:26:16.22\00:26:18.52
try leaving a
window or two open.
00:26:18.55\00:26:20.95
This increases the concentration
00:26:20.98\00:26:22.71
of negative happy
ions in your home.
00:26:22.74\00:26:25.87
Step outside for a
minute every hour at work
00:26:25.90\00:26:28.07
for a literal breather.
00:26:28.10\00:26:30.75
On the weekend, if
you faced with the choice
00:26:30.78\00:26:32.74
between taking a
hike in the mountains
00:26:32.77\00:26:34.55
or going a
congested amusement park.
00:26:34.58\00:26:37.38
You'll now know why
you'll feel much better
00:26:37.41\00:26:39.67
if you chose the mountains.
00:26:39.70\00:26:42.21
Take it a step further
and grow few plants indoors,
00:26:42.24\00:26:44.73
they can be used to
grow your own fresh air.
00:26:44.76\00:26:48.33
Some of the best
plants for this are plants
00:26:48.36\00:26:50.22
with a large surface area
00:26:50.25\00:26:51.63
such as ferns,
palms, and lilies.
00:26:51.66\00:26:55.34
These have been shown
to reduce contaminants
00:26:55.37\00:26:57.27
such as formaldehyde,
00:26:57.30\00:26:58.88
carbon monoxide,
xylene, and benzene.
00:26:58.91\00:27:02.66
It almost seems too simple
but airs affect is proven.
00:27:02.69\00:27:06.08
A breath of fresh air will
make you feel better right now
00:27:06.11\00:27:09.71
and is an important part
00:27:09.74\00:27:11.55
of living a
longer healthier life.
00:27:11.58\00:27:15.52
You are killing me.
00:27:15.55\00:27:20.25
You are killing me.
00:27:20.28\00:27:21.77
Actually, dad, you
are killing yourself.
