00:12 Every year in America,
00:13 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 half 747s crashing every day. 00:23 What's even more surprising is that the fix is easy, 00:27 it's your lifestyle. 00:28 Wouldn't it be nice 00:29 if you could actually add quality years to your life 00:32 rather than dying of one organ at a time? 00:34 Obesity and diabetes 00:36 are the cause 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 and 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 in the first few days 01:02 of our program 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. 01:12 Hi, friends, and welcome to another edition 01:14 of Newstart Now. 01:16 I have a special testimony for you today, 01:20 Priscilla and Alan Brown are with us this morning. 01:24 I'd like you to take a look at when they first arrived 01:28 but let me remind you not to break away 01:31 because at the end of this program 01:34 we're gonna give you a short run edition on rest. 01:40 Well, we selected the Newstart program 01:42 because it seem to offer us 01:44 the potential to bring my health 01:50 back to where I wanted to be 01:53 in the stage of life that I am now. 01:56 I have been suffering with diabetes 01:59 for over 10 years. 02:02 My weight is too high and just recently 02:07 I've been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. 02:12 Well, especially the congestive heart failure, 02:14 I have no, I have no win. 02:17 I have no stamina. 02:19 I have lost the physical abilities 02:21 that I used to have, 02:23 whether it was working around our wrench or hunting, 02:30 something I dearly like to do 02:33 and I just can't do those things anymore, 02:37 a restored heart or an improved heart 02:42 that I can tell when it's working right. 02:47 My health of course is important, 02:53 my relationship with the Lord is more important. 02:57 Welcome back, friends, 02:58 and as I promised Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown. 03:01 Nice to meet you, sir. It's good to see you. 03:02 Good to see you both back here 03:04 and we just took a look at when you first arrived here 03:08 but I see a huge difference. 03:11 I shouldn't even use that word huge 03:13 because you've left somewhere on the trails here 20 pounds. 03:19 Little excess, little more than 20 pounds, right. 03:21 How many pounds did you lose? May be as much as 27. 03:25 No? Yeah. 03:26 Twenty seven pounds? 03:27 Now, I'd have to do the math but it's-- 03:30 Well, I trust that. 03:31 Twenty seven pounds, 03:32 that's almost a record for a guy your size. 03:35 Well, I was just carrying around too much weight. 03:39 And partly from my ill heath but partly from eating too much 03:44 and eating the wrong things and -- 03:46 Yeah, so how is your health today. 03:48 Tell us about, lets talk about the medications? 03:51 Sure. 03:52 How many medications were you taking 03:54 when you arrived at the Newstart program? 03:57 Eleven? 03:58 Somewhere around 11. Eleven. Yeah. 03:59 And some of those twice a day? 04:02 Most of them were just once a day. 04:03 Once a day, 11 that's enough. Yeah. Yeah. 04:06 How many are you taking now? 04:07 Well, we're down by four. So we've come down to seven. 04:11 So you eliminated four? We have. 04:14 And the seven that are remaining are for what purpose? 04:18 Primarily, heart. 04:19 Heart, so you came here 04:21 with a heart condition as already know. 04:22 Yeah, I had congestive heart failure 04:28 and the basis for that or the symptoms of that 04:34 have much been decreased. 04:36 And so, how is congestive heart failure 04:42 and the Newstart program, how they-- 04:46 how could the Newstart program help congestive heart failure? 04:50 I thought you need to go to cardiologist 04:52 and you took all these pills 04:54 and everything will be all right, maybe. 04:56 And that's true, you do 04:58 and that's why I started it was -- 04:59 Oh, you did. It was cardiologist, yeah. 05:03 But the features of this program, 05:07 I think may be the most important to me 05:09 anyway was exercise. 05:12 I was getting off my seat and walking, 05:17 spend my time on my feet. 05:18 So you describe exercise as walking? 05:22 Yeah. Right. Yes, sir. Okay. 05:23 Walking, just walking certain distance here on the campus. 05:29 Wherever you want to go there is plenty of trails 05:31 and mountains and a lot to see, lot of beautiful country. 05:35 So it's an easy thing to do is walk-- 05:37 Yes. Because it's so enjoyable. 05:39 Unless you're coming up cardiac hill. 05:41 Sure. 05:43 That's a toughie. There are a few-- 05:44 That's a toughie. Yeah. 05:45 There are a few like that. 05:47 So you've lost 27 pounds, 05:48 you got off of four medications. 05:51 Do you actually feel a difference? 05:54 Oh, I do. 05:55 Did you feel like there is hope? 05:58 I do, I have hope that I didn't have of three weeks ago. 06:04 And, Priscilla what do you see him as now? 06:08 Well, I see a big difference. 06:11 I see a difference in his ability to getup 06:15 and walk for one thing because before we came here 06:17 he couldn't walk from the house down to the barn. 06:20 He was short-winded. 06:23 He was beat, beat up-- Yeah. 06:25 And he would have to sit down and rest. 06:28 We got here and of course 06:29 he couldn't walk too much at first either 06:32 but he started walking and changing the diet, 06:37 and got off all of the, a lot of sugar and-- 06:45 He is smiling. And salt. 06:46 And salt which-- And salt. 06:47 Which caused him to retain water. 06:49 Sure. 06:50 And also the fact that he didn't have the fats 06:56 that the oils. 06:58 And so it's a different diet for us 07:00 but it has really turned things around. 07:04 Now, I know you mentioned the word diet 07:06 and I want a clarification with our viewers 07:09 that yeah, you change your diet 07:11 but more than anything we change your lifestyle. 07:16 Right. 07:17 And you'll get a follow-up call from me, by the way, 07:21 monthly if you care to. 07:23 And we'll talk about your program. 07:26 How it's progressing. 07:27 The weight loss, 07:28 what your cardiologist has to say. 07:31 His mind's gonna be blown, I know. 07:34 Because a lot of guys out there are 07:36 and no offense to any doctors are just not aware 07:41 but they're becoming more and more aware 07:43 because of programs like the Newstart Now program. 07:47 True. 07:48 Alan, tell me where do you go from here, 07:55 and has this program met your expectations? 08:00 Now going from here, 08:03 it's just up to us now to carry this what we've learned 08:06 and experienced whether it's how to build the foods 08:12 that we've been eating, prepare the meals 08:15 or the walking, the exercising that we do in the morning. 08:21 That 's what I think carry that home 08:23 back to where we live and-- 08:25 And make sure I don't fall down on the couch anymore 08:28 and waste my time there. 08:32 Oh, by the way, I meant to ask you. 08:34 I want to get this because before we went on the camera, 08:38 before we sat down you were telling me about 08:42 episodes of tying your shoes-- 08:44 Oh, yeah. Can you share that with us? 08:47 Well, I've started about just about the first of this year 08:52 maybe in mid or late January. 08:55 I noticed that I was, I was putting on weight. 08:58 I've always been a little too heavy 09:02 but I started putting on weight that was, 09:04 it was getting in my way. 09:06 I could not sit in this chair and I wear boots, excuse me, 09:12 I wear boots while when I am working around the place 09:14 and I couldn't put them on, I couldn't tie them. 09:19 I'd bend over and I was squashing my diaphragm 09:24 and I couldn't breath 09:25 and I'd have to hurry and get them. 09:28 Can I do this, I am sorry. 09:29 Sure, you can do, go ahead, no problem. 09:32 Leaking, and as soon as I got them tied, 09:38 I just kind of have to sit back in a chair-- 09:40 And breathe. And breathe. 09:42 Because I wasn't able to breathe 09:44 during the tying process. 09:46 I do understand. 09:48 And that was miserable. 09:49 Yeah. Miserable. 09:50 And now you're able to do that. 09:52 Oh, yeah, no problem. 09:53 You know, what people don't realize 09:56 and you probably heard it in one of the lectures. 09:59 If you're built, I'm gonna go side ways now, 10:02 if you're built like this 10:03 and your guts hanging out like that. 10:05 It's not just the gut that's hanging out. 10:08 It also is hanging in. 10:10 So you got this mass right here, 10:15 which men often have. 10:17 And so when you're bending over, 10:20 you're stopping the flow of energy to all the inners, 10:24 the heart, the lungs. 10:26 So I'm glad you shared that with us, 10:29 and by the way what is your doctor here 10:31 and who is your doctor? 10:32 Dr. Ing. 10:33 Dr. Ing, what does he think of your progress? 10:37 He was amazed. 10:38 I just did the second treadmill test. 10:43 This morning, treadmill stress test 10:47 and I stayed on the machine 10:49 more than twice as long as I did on my-- 10:52 Wow. Yes. 10:53 When I checked in so I was happy with that 10:57 and I made it with hardly any effort at all so it was-- 10:59 Oh, praise God. 11:01 Yeah, and Dr. Ing was very complimentary of that. 11:05 Well, I am glad to hear that. Dr. Ing. 11:08 As you know, we'll be interviewing him after you 11:12 and we're gonna ask him some questions 11:14 about the program that he had set for you, 11:19 which most of us follow the same routine. 11:21 It's probably. 11:22 Up at 5, 5:30 exercise and so and so. 11:25 Right, right. 11:26 But I just want to take the less, 11:28 because we're running out of time, 11:29 I want to thank you both, Priscilla, thank you for-- 11:32 Thank you. 11:33 Your support and Alan, 11:34 thank you for coming onto the set-- 11:37 And sharing all that. It's my pleasure. 11:38 Don't go away friends, because we're gonna have 11:40 Dr. Ing in the studio in a minute. 12:15 Hi, friends and welcome back. Dr. Ing, how are you, sir? 12:20 Great, it's good to be here, Ron. 12:22 It's good to see you 12:23 and it's great to be talking about, 12:25 Alan and his lovely wife, Priscilla. 12:29 As you know, 12:30 we don't normally interview two people at a time 12:35 but this particular program we did 12:38 and what amazes me 12:41 is here's a man with congestive heart failure. 12:46 During our first interview, he is very emotional. 12:49 He wanted more than anything to leave here with a good heart 12:53 and not just a clean heart but a good strong heart. 12:59 He says, he has lost a total of 27 pounds 13:03 and he's made a lot of changes. 13:05 Can you tell us, how does someone have 13:10 congestive heart failure one month 13:13 and a month later or two months later 13:15 not have congestive heart failure? 13:18 Well, what happens is you know, of course you know 13:21 they usually put people with congestive heart failure 13:24 in medication and things like that 13:26 and He had a high blood pressure 13:29 and when he came here he was feeling very weak, 13:33 he had very little energy. 13:35 And as far his activity, 13:37 I tried to record how much exercise 13:39 they do when they come here. 13:41 And all I've recorded was what we call ADL 13:43 which means "Activities of Daily Living" 13:46 but he wasn't able to exercise, he just-- 13:48 He wasn't. 13:49 Did not have the energy to exercise. 13:50 Nothing, yeah. 13:51 You know, if he could just go around 13:53 and do what he had to do 13:54 and even that would make him very tired. 13:57 But the interesting and fascinating thing 13:59 is that as he came here, 14:01 he made changes in his diet and his lifestyle 14:05 and he just started to do a little bit of exercise 14:08 that he found that he could do more 14:11 and he had more energy 14:13 and in fact his blood pressure came down. 14:18 So that I had, 14:19 we have to stop all of his blood pressure medication. 14:21 Otherwise, his blood pressure was so low 14:23 he wasn't feeling good 14:24 and when we stopped his blood pressure medicine 14:26 his blood pressure came back up to a wonderful low normal level 14:33 and he felt so much better. 14:35 In fact, on some days while he was here, 14:38 he walked as much as five miles. 14:41 And you know to talk about him 14:43 or even thinking about that I think 14:45 if I asked him to think about, you know, 14:47 "Alan would you think you could walk five miles 14:52 any time sooner," 14:53 he would say "you're making me tired 14:55 by thinking about how far that is. 14:57 But he did it and he did that on several occasions 15:00 and he did very, very, well. 15:03 So there is hope then for our viewers, 15:07 many of which as you know being a doctor are suffering 15:11 from cardiovascular diseases of many kinds, 15:15 high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, 15:19 whatever it is there is hope and it's through lifestyle. 15:24 Could you elaborate little bit more than that? 15:26 Well, certainly through lifestyle. 15:28 We find out that as we make changes in their diet, 15:31 the transition from the standard American diet, 15:35 please note the acronym for the standard American diet 15:38 is S as standard, A as American, 15:41 D as diet is "SAD." 15:44 Okay, and why is it SAD? 15:45 Well, the standard American diet 15:47 is high in refined carbohydrates, 15:50 high in fat, and high in animal protein, 15:54 and high in calories and when you combine 15:57 that with the less inactive lifestyle, sedentary, inactive, 16:03 whatever you want to call it. 16:05 I sometimes use the word 16:06 that's not as gentle to describe it as a slothful. 16:13 That really helps people to become overweight 16:17 and the reason I choose slothful is 16:19 I'm using every means I can including verbal means 16:23 to try to help them not be like that, 16:25 I want them to be more active. 16:27 And when they become more active they feel better. 16:30 And this was shown with Alan I said, 16:32 "you know, what's happened to your energy levels, 16:35 it's much better." 16:38 Or I asked him I said, 16:40 "you couldn't walk that far and do that much 16:41 when you got here. 16:42 He says, "you are absolutely right." 16:44 But I feel so much better now that I've made these changes, 16:48 going to the plan based diet 16:50 helps to improve the circulation 16:53 and just a little bit of exercise 16:55 along with that increases the, you know, 16:58 the circulation to the heart and if he had any fluid there 17:02 which he largely got rid of most of that before he came 17:05 but he still lost 10 pounds while he was here. 17:08 He felt so much better 17:10 and had much more energy to do much more. 17:14 I think it's an amazing story, 17:16 because you've seen both interviews and in the first one 17:22 it was like he was ready to die. 17:25 I mean literally, 17:26 I could just see it in his eyes, his attitude, 17:29 he was very emotional about wanting to regain his strength 17:33 and leave here with a good heart 17:36 and then the second interview which we just did 17:39 and you could see the expression on his face. 17:42 He is happy and he knows that there again there is hope. 17:48 And what can we say to our viewers, 17:53 the thousands, you know millions of people 17:56 die every year through cardiovascular disease 18:00 and as I mentioned in other programs 18:04 you can like in it to six and half 747s 18:09 dropping out of the sky each day. 18:12 And yet the media doesn't print these kinds of things. 18:16 One plane crashes and you hear about it for weeks. 18:19 Yep, we have six and half 18:22 crashing everyday, nothing is said. 18:25 Yeah, that's you know like the number 18:26 I use when I tell people, 18:28 it says, "everyday in United States 18:30 approximate 3,000 people die from heart disease, 18:34 high blood pressure, and strokes. 18:36 That's as many as perished on September 11, 2001." 18:40 Wow. 18:41 And it's really tragic 18:43 because if they would change their lifestyles 18:44 it doesn't need to be. 18:46 In fact, along the same line cancer, 18:50 1560 people die everyday from some form of cancer, 18:56 that's just in the United States. 18:58 So, you know that's a big thing that 19:00 we can help people make changes in their lifestyle 19:03 to markedly lower their risk for heart disease, 19:06 lower their risk for cancer. 19:08 And for heart disease, you know 19:10 if it's arteriosclerotic heart disease 19:12 where they got lots of plaque 19:14 and cholesterol deposit in those arteries. 19:17 With a good plan based diet, stress control, 19:21 modest exercise program, that's been proven, 19:24 we can prove that those arteries 19:25 will get cleaned out and they can you know 19:28 as we say the reverse heart disease in that sense. 19:32 You know, I know there are many people 19:33 watching this program, right now and they are going " 19:36 well, that might work for some people, 19:39 does it work for everybody?" 19:41 Yeah, it works for everyone who is willing to do it 19:44 and not only they need to be willing to do it 19:46 while they're here but like I tell people 19:48 when you come here this is the beginning, 19:51 this is the introduction, you're gonna learn things. 19:53 It's important what you do here but it's equally as important 19:58 what you're going to continue to do when you go home. 20:02 And so the other thing is no one forces anyone, 20:05 we give them information 20:06 and we encourage them to make wise choices 20:09 and if they make the correct choice 20:12 and they need help carrying out those choices 20:15 we encourage them to talk to our loving Heavenly Father 20:18 who can give them the power 20:19 they need to carry out these choices. 20:21 Amen. 20:23 Doctor, if there is, in our closing moments here 20:29 if there is one thing you could say to our viewers 20:32 that have cardiovascular disease. 20:36 What is it that you would say to them? 20:39 If you need help, at least give us a call 20:42 and we can talk to you and find out you know 20:44 how much we can help you and what would be best for you. 20:48 Well, there you have it 20:49 from the Director of the Newstart program, 20:52 Dr. Clarence Ing been with Newstart 20:56 16 years going on 17. 20:59 If you need some advice, you want to talk to Dr. Ing. 21:03 Please feel free to pick up the phone, 21:05 call 800-525-9192. 21:10 And thank you friends, don't go away 21:12 because, Dr. Randy Bivens 21:14 will be with us in just a moment. 21:17 Thanks doc. Thank you. 21:27 Hi, I'm Dr. Randy Bivens, 21:30 have you ever stayed up all night studying for a test? 21:33 Have you ever wondered why our bodies convince us 21:36 to close our eyes and drift away 21:37 for eight hours every night? 21:39 Why do we sleep? 21:40 What would happen if we just decided to stop sleeping? 21:43 How long would we able to last? 21:45 Well, the world record for living 21:47 without sleep is 11 days. 21:50 Lab rats actually die from sleep depravation 21:53 faster than starving to death. 21:55 Like breathing, eating, and moving 21:57 sleep is an instinctual critical component of our lives 22:01 that can be carried out in an unhealthy 22:03 or healthy manner. 22:05 We're going to talk about the effects of both. 22:08 A recently published study reported that 22:10 if you regularly sleep less than seven hours each night 22:14 your immune system would suffer for it 22:16 making you three times more likely to get sick. 22:20 People with little sleep also tend to be more overweight 22:23 and have shorter life spans. 22:25 Research has actually shown that sleeping less 22:28 alters the metabolic pathways that regulate appetite 22:32 making you feel hungrier as a result. 22:35 Quality sleep on a regular basis 22:37 is necessary for a robust immune system. 22:41 REM, the deep sleep phase of the sleep cycle 22:44 is where the most intense neural activity occurs. 22:47 During REM sleep, blood circulation increases, 22:50 oxygen levels rise. 22:52 and brain tissue absorbs more amino acids. 22:56 Scientists even go so far as to say 22:58 that good sleeper's are mentally sharper 23:01 and are also at lower risk of neurologic diseases 23:04 such as Alzheimer's. 23:06 Even though our bodies might appear very still 23:09 when we sleep, 23:10 it's actually quite active metabolically. 23:13 Free radical substance that has been shown 23:15 to be involved in many disease processes are gobbled up 23:19 at an increased rate during sleep. 23:22 Reparative processes are also active 23:24 such as protein production, 23:26 fixing the damage our body sustained 23:28 during the day, like sun damage. 23:31 So how much sleep do we need? 23:33 Studies show that optimal health is achieved 23:36 when newborns sleep 16-18 hours, 23:39 young children sleep 10-12 hours, 23:42 older children and teen sleep 9 hours, 23:44 and adults sleep 7 to 8 hours. 23:47 And this doesn't mean that our need for sleep 23:50 decreases continually with age. 23:52 In fact, senior citizens need as much sleep as teenagers. 23:57 It has been shown 23:58 for those adult's sleeping less than seven hours, 24:01 the risk of dying increases by 21% in women and 26% in men. 24:07 A startling number that leads us 24:09 to our advice for a better, healthier, sleep lifestyle. 24:15 Turn off the lights, 24:17 light naturally suppresses the body's natural release 24:20 of melatonin. 24:21 A recent study found that exposure to light after dusk 24:25 reduce melatonin levels by 71%. 24:29 Avoid electronic devices, television viewing, 24:31 computers, and mobile phone use just before bedtime 24:35 hinders our natural ability to fall asleep. 24:39 Stick to a schedule, we'll find it easier to sleep 24:41 and it will be healthier 24:42 to achieve a natural sleep wake cycle. 24:46 The sleep that we get before midnight 24:48 is much more beneficial 24:50 and can be worth almost twice as much as that after midnight. 24:55 Relax and get comfortable, 24:56 avoid activities that are too stimulating, 24:59 dimming the lights and reading may help. 25:02 Develop a routine like brushing and flossing your teeth 25:05 and washing your face. 25:06 This signals the brain 25:08 that it's time to get ready to go to sleep. 25:11 Say no to drugs. 25:12 Sleep aids such as sleeping pills should be avoided. 25:16 They increase your risk of many diseases 25:18 as well as shorten your lifespan. 25:20 Your body may look asleep 25:22 but the hormones and reparative processes 25:24 are not being optimized. 25:26 Perhaps because the REM phase of sleep 25:28 is not achieved ideally. 25:31 Watch what you eat, if your stomach is still turning away 25:35 you could imagine why it may be hard 25:37 to go to sleep and to stay asleep. 25:39 It is best to eat your lightest meal in the evening 25:42 and then nothing after that, so no ice cream at bedtime. 25:47 Get active, daily exercise 25:50 and physical activity is not only healthy 25:52 but it helps promote better sleep. 25:54 But be careful about exercising too late at night 25:57 as this will boost you energy 25:59 and may make it more difficult to go to sleep. 26:03 And last be thankful, closing the day 26:06 by contemplating the day's blessings 26:08 and spending time in prayer 26:10 is another way to get peaceful sleep. 26:13 Forgive those who need to 26:15 and make amends with the people you've wronged. 26:17 This way you can go to bed without these issues 26:20 crowding you thoughts. 26:23 It might have been sometimes 26:24 since you felt great in the morning, 26:26 but waking up clear mind and zest 26:29 to start the day is entirely possible 26:32 and entirely worth turning off the light 26:34 an hour earlier than usual. 26:37 Tyr it for a week 26:38 and then try it for the rest of your life. 26:40 You'll feel better, you'll think clear, 26:42 you look better, and you'll even live longer. 26:57 You're killing me. 27:02 You're killing me. 27:03 Actually, Dad, you are killing yourself. 27:08 With the only program 27:09 scientifically proven to prolong life by 10 years, 27:12 the Newstart Lifestyle Program can significantly decrease 27:15 the risk of disease, including diabetes. 27:18 You're done with that?
