00:00:02.63\00:00:15.31
type 2 diabetes and chronic
obesity. This includes heart
00:00:15.34\00:00:19.61
attacks and strokes. That's
6-1/2747s crashing every day.
00:00:19.65\00:00:23.85
What's even more surprising is
that the fix is easy. It's your
00:00:23.89\00:00:28.12
lifestyle. Wouldn't it be
nice if you could actually add
00:00:28.16\00:00:31.59
quality years to your life
rather than dying one organ at a
00:00:31.63\00:00:35.60
time. Obesity and diabetes are
the cause of a million deaths
00:00:35.66\00:00:39.20
per year. But most diseases are
reversible because most diseases
00:00:39.23\00:00:42.77
are lifestyle diseases
especially type 2 diabetes and
00:00:42.80\00:00:46.88
chronic obesity. Seriously
now they can be reversed and the
00:00:46.91\00:00:51.05
quality of your life can be
renewed. Call NEWSTART today at
00:00:51.08\00:00:56.62
1-800-525-9192. You will see
dramatic changes in the first
00:00:56.65\00:01:02.09
few days of our program and you
will be on the road to a better
00:01:02.12\00:01:06.33
more robust quality of life. The
NEWSTART programs are simple and
00:01:06.36\00:01:10.50
effective. Hi
friends and welcome to
00:01:10.53\00:01:16.57
another edition of NEWSTART Now.
I'm your host, Ron Giannoni. In
00:01:16.60\00:01:22.41
our studio we have a
young gentleman, Joe Haber, from
00:01:22.44\00:01:26.78
Fresno, California. I'd like you
to take a look at a clip when he
00:01:26.82\00:01:31.82
first arrived. I've
been type 2 for 17 years.
00:01:31.85\00:01:37.29
I exercise, I thought I was
eating properly and nothing has
00:01:37.33\00:01:41.86
really changed. My weight has
gotten good, it's always been
00:01:41.90\00:01:46.47
good but it's gotten better
from diet and exercise. But the
00:01:46.50\00:01:50.97
diabetes has not. The doctor has
explained to me if it's in your
00:01:51.04\00:01:53.71
cards, it's in your cards.
The doctors also told me that I
00:01:53.74\00:01:57.68
would never be able to get off
my medicine. In fact, what they
00:01:57.71\00:02:01.62
told me is that I would
eventually become insulin
00:02:01.65\00:02:04.52
dependent and I'm afraid of
needles so that's been my goal
00:02:04.55\00:02:08.32
not to become insulin dependent.
I chose the NEWSTART program
00:02:08.36\00:02:12.39
because of the testimony of
three individuals who actually
00:02:12.43\00:02:16.00
graduated from the program
who attended and are currently
00:02:16.03\00:02:20.70
alumni and they had dramatic
results - weight loss, diabetes
00:02:20.74\00:02:24.54
reversal and I looked at them
and I said that's for me. What
00:02:24.57\00:02:28.74
I would like to see transpire
from this NEWSTART program is
00:02:28.78\00:02:33.95
one is to have my diabetes
reversed. Two is that the other
00:02:33.98\00:02:38.62
is to be able to I guess share
my testimony, my story, with
00:02:38.65\00:02:42.12
others so that they know it's
possible. There was a time I
00:02:42.16\00:02:45.23
didn't think it was possible.
So if this works for me, I'm
00:02:45.26\00:02:48.30
there. I'm in. So.
00:02:48.33\00:02:51.73
Welcome back friends and Joe
how are you? Great. Good to see
00:02:51.77\00:02:56.44
you. I'm so happy you've
selected to come in and share
00:02:56.47\00:03:02.51
your story with us. So tell us
how did you enjoy your stay here
00:03:02.54\00:03:06.85
It's wonderful. Actually it
was a really good experience. We
00:03:06.92\00:03:10.79
didn't really know what to
expect coming in but whatever
00:03:10.85\00:03:14.72
expectations we had
they've been exceeded.
00:03:14.76\00:03:16.86
Good. Now the viewers have
seen your first interview. Has
00:03:16.93\00:03:23.33
anything changed. You've been
here 16 or 17 days going on 18.
00:03:23.37\00:03:29.74
What's different than
when you first arrived?
00:03:29.77\00:03:32.84
Eight pounds lighter, for one.
And I'm feeling good. I've been
00:03:32.87\00:03:37.28
doing a lot more walking than
I normally have done in the past
00:03:37.31\00:03:43.22
and feel great. Actually today
I have to say at the end of this
00:03:43.25\00:03:49.12
program I feel better today
than I've felt in a long time.
00:03:49.16\00:03:53.90
Wow. That says a lot.
Who's your doctor, by the way?
00:03:53.93\00:03:58.50
My doctor is Dr. Gallant.
00:03:58.53\00:04:00.14
What do you
think of Dr. Gallant?
00:04:00.17\00:04:02.47
I think Dr. Gallant is a saint.
He's actually really been...
00:04:02.50\00:04:09.04
I've seen a lot of doctors
in the past with my medical
00:04:09.08\00:04:12.41
conditions and I have several
doctors now that I see and I'd
00:04:12.45\00:04:16.58
have to say Dr. Gallant is top
notch. Actually he's more than
00:04:16.62\00:04:20.89
a doctor. He takes you along the
way, gives you encouragement.
00:04:20.92\00:04:24.89
He's not just someone who's
going to see you for 15 minutes
00:04:24.93\00:04:28.86
and you know look at
your symptoms and walk out. He
00:04:28.90\00:04:31.60
actually prays with you. He
talks to you like a human being
00:04:31.63\00:04:35.84
and really makes you feel good.
00:04:35.87\00:04:37.94
I'm so glad to hear you say that
I have to ask you a question.
00:04:37.97\00:04:42.31
Have you ever been to a doctor's
home where they prepared a meal
00:04:42.34\00:04:46.65
for you? Not until I came here.
00:04:46.68\00:04:49.35
What do you think of that?
00:04:49.38\00:04:51.89
Actually I thought it
was wonderful. It was a great
00:04:51.95\00:04:57.39
experience and it was a way for
my wife and I to kind of look at
00:04:57.43\00:05:02.23
what we could do in addition to
just the meals that we'd kind of
00:05:02.26\00:05:05.70
been learning in the menu. These
were things that were a little
00:05:05.73\00:05:09.17
bit off the grid
but it was delicious.
00:05:09.20\00:05:12.94
Good, good. So did
Dr. Gallant walk with you?
00:05:12.97\00:05:19.51
We would meet up with Dr.
Gallant in the mornings at least
00:05:19.58\00:05:24.49
half a dozen times we'd run into
him. He was out walking. Really?
00:05:24.52\00:05:28.39
We'd walk with him. Again,
I'd never walked with a doctor
00:05:28.42\00:05:34.16
before until I came here.
00:05:34.20\00:05:35.53
What was the purpose
of him walking with you?
00:05:35.56\00:05:40.04
The purpose was to show
us that... The thing about
00:05:40.07\00:05:44.31
Dr. Gallant is that he's done
this too. He's actually made a
00:05:44.37\00:05:47.74
lifestyle change and he shared
that with us and this is what he
00:05:47.78\00:05:51.55
does. So it kind of inspired
us to say hey if he can do it we
00:05:51.58\00:05:56.08
can do it. If he can do it I can
do it. So it was really good.
00:05:56.12\00:06:00.66
As far as your lifestyle goes,
before you came here were you
00:06:00.69\00:06:05.19
vegetarian? No. No,
I was a carnivore, a
00:06:05.23\00:06:12.23
meat eater. Actually this year
we made some changes where we
00:06:12.27\00:06:16.27
cut back on the red meat and so
coming here was really just the
00:06:16.30\00:06:20.38
next step because I noticed that
there were changes in my blood
00:06:20.41\00:06:24.71
sugar numbers from cutting back
on red meat. So I figured why
00:06:24.75\00:06:28.98
not take it to the next level
and cut out all meat and get off
00:06:29.02\00:06:33.19
all medicine. So
that's what I've done.
00:06:33.22\00:06:34.56
How are you dealing with that?
00:06:34.59\00:06:36.46
Right now my numbers aren't as
good but my body's transitioning
00:06:36.49\00:06:41.03
I haven't been on medication for
two weeks and I feel fine. I'm
00:06:41.06\00:06:46.63
not sick. I'm not foggy. My
energy levels are about as good
00:06:46.70\00:06:52.61
as they were when I was in my
20s. I feel great; sleeping well
00:06:52.64\00:06:56.91
So I'm just waiting for things
to kind of settle down as we
00:06:56.95\00:07:01.18
go through this
process but I'm feeling good.
00:07:01.22\00:07:02.75
What kind of
medications were you taking?
00:07:02.78\00:07:04.29
I was on medication for diabetes
so I was on Metformin, I was on
00:07:04.32\00:07:12.49
Januvia, another
medicine called glimepiride.
00:07:12.53\00:07:15.26
So you were shooting
the needle and taking pills.
00:07:15.30\00:07:18.03
No, no needles, just all pills.
00:07:18.07\00:07:19.57
Oh it was all pills.
00:07:19.60\00:07:21.97
All pills but for high
blood pressure and also for
00:07:22.00\00:07:25.84
cholesterol. How's
your blood pressure?
00:07:25.87\00:07:29.44
Blood pressure is not where I
would like it to be but I feel
00:07:29.51\00:07:32.81
fine and that's the thing that's
encouraging. In the past I've
00:07:32.85\00:07:37.62
gone off my medication and not
felt good at all. So that was
00:07:37.65\00:07:42.66
the big Ah-ha for me to stop the
medication and feel good and I
00:07:42.69\00:07:47.66
think it has to do with the
diet and the fresh air and the
00:07:47.70\00:07:50.97
walking. So are
you going to have any
00:07:51.00\00:07:52.77
problem when you get
home sticking to the program?
00:07:52.83\00:07:55.80
It's going to be a little bit of
a challenge. But we're excited.
00:07:55.84\00:07:58.94
And I've got my wife you know,
00:07:58.97\00:08:01.34
we're a team in this so I
think we're going to be fine.
00:08:01.78\00:08:04.71
That's a huge benefit. Because
I brought my wife with me when I
00:08:04.78\00:08:09.52
came to the program. Had it not
been for her I wasn't sure that
00:08:09.55\00:08:14.26
I'd stick with it. But I have
stuck with it for nine and a
00:08:14.29\00:08:18.59
half years and I've lost a
lot of weight, got rid of my
00:08:18.63\00:08:22.86
diabetes, all the pills, etc.
etc. and you're going to do the
00:08:22.90\00:08:25.67
same because you have a
team You can kind of coach one
00:08:25.70\00:08:30.17
another. So I want to ask you
about your overall experience
00:08:30.21\00:08:37.05
here at NEWSTART.
It's like nothing I've ever
00:08:37.08\00:08:42.92
experienced before. The thing
that really touched me deeply
00:08:42.95\00:08:48.32
was the start of every session
we prayed and I think that's
00:08:48.36\00:08:53.43
something that was really new
to me, it was really new to my
00:08:53.46\00:08:58.53
wife but it was a thing
we looked forward every time
00:08:58.57\00:09:01.10
whether it was hydrotherapy,
whether we were seeing the
00:09:01.14\00:09:03.64
doctor, whether before our meals
Every aspect of this place is
00:09:03.67\00:09:09.64
God centered and I think
that really makes a difference.
00:09:09.68\00:09:13.08
That made such a difference to
me that I started studying the
00:09:13.11\00:09:17.42
Bible after I came through the
program and was baptized four
00:09:17.45\00:09:21.76
months later just because
of this place. How about the
00:09:21.79\00:09:26.39
lectures? Did you go to
and receive many lectures?
00:09:26.43\00:09:30.13
We received a lot of
lectures and the lectures were
00:09:30.17\00:09:33.84
outstanding and there were many
many ah-ha's by going to these
00:09:33.87\00:09:39.74
lectures. Even for diseases, not
diabetes. I've got a friend who
00:09:39.77\00:09:45.61
has asthma and I gleaned
some information from one of the
00:09:45.65\00:09:48.78
lectures and actually went back
to my room and called him and
00:09:48.82\00:09:51.69
I said you know you need to
follow this if you want to feel
00:09:51.72\00:09:55.02
better. So the lectures were
very informative and very...
00:09:55.09\00:09:58.36
And they're all
given mostly by doctors.
00:09:58.39\00:10:00.10
Mostly by doctors. The doctors
and the other staff in the
00:10:00.13\00:10:04.30
mornings we have a chaplain
actually give us some lectures
00:10:04.33\00:10:08.50
but they're all Christ-based,
Jesus Christ-based but also
00:10:08.57\00:10:12.71
health based. So it was
integrated. The program was
00:10:12.74\00:10:18.58
great. Good. So
the message you're
00:10:18.61\00:10:25.29
going to take back home. Is
there anyone living with you and
00:10:25.35\00:10:26.69
your wife. Just my
wife and I. We're empty
00:10:26.72\00:10:29.96
nesters. So what
about your church
00:10:29.99\00:10:34.90
family? Are you going to be on
board with bringing the health
00:10:34.93\00:10:37.07
message to the church?
00:10:37.10\00:10:38.43
Oh I think our testimony, we're
going to be living testimonies.
00:10:38.47\00:10:43.10
We're not only to our church but
we have a wide circle of friends
00:10:43.14\00:10:47.54
and we know a lot of people who
could really benefit from this
00:10:47.58\00:10:51.95
program so we'll be big
advocates for Weimar in the
00:10:51.98\00:10:54.05
future. Yeah.
They're going to be
00:10:54.08\00:10:55.52
looking at you and going what
did you do. What has changed?
00:10:55.55\00:11:00.12
Right. You know I
want to take just a
00:11:00.16\00:11:02.09
moment to thank you for coming
and sharing your life and what
00:11:02.12\00:11:07.23
you've experienced here and I'm
looking forward to chatting with
00:11:07.30\00:11:12.37
you in the coming months.
So God bless you my brother and
00:11:12.40\00:11:15.17
we'll talk to you soon. And God
bless you too friend. Don't go
00:11:15.20\00:11:19.91
away. Dr. Gallant
will be with us after this.
00:11:19.94\00:11:23.24
¤ ¤
00:11:26.05\00:11:57.18
Welcome back friends. Help me
to welcome Dr. Gallant. How are
00:11:57.21\00:12:01.85
you? I'm doing well Ron.
00:12:01.88\00:12:03.79
Good to see you and I want the
viewers to know that you're one
00:12:03.82\00:12:07.56
of our new docs.
That's right I am. I'm the new
00:12:07.59\00:12:10.49
medical director for NEWSTART.
00:12:10.53\00:12:12.06
And we're happy that you're here
and I want to get right into
00:12:12.09\00:12:15.66
this interview about
Joe. Yes. He's quite a guy.
00:12:15.70\00:12:21.00
He is quite a guy. You know we
had a great relationship and a
00:12:21.07\00:12:24.27
great time getting
to know each other.
00:12:24.31\00:12:25.77
Yes. I thought he was kind
of buff when I first met him. He
00:12:25.81\00:12:30.61
says he lost a few pounds.
00:12:30.65\00:12:32.08
He did. He lost
about eight pounds.
00:12:32.11\00:12:34.12
Eight pounds at that.
00:12:34.15\00:12:35.72
Yeah in about 18
days, isn't that amazing?
00:12:35.75\00:12:39.69
Yeah, well he didn't have
a whole lot to lose did he?
00:12:39.72\00:12:41.22
No I don't think he had a whole
lot to lose but we changed his
00:12:41.26\00:12:46.59
activity schedule. We got him
walking more and pushing less
00:12:46.63\00:12:50.83
weight. Yeah that's good. So
that will change your physique
00:12:50.87\00:12:55.04
a little bit. Now how
much do you have these
00:12:55.07\00:12:59.71
guests, I'll call them, how much
do you have them walk? Where's
00:12:59.74\00:13:06.21
the benefit, where's the shall
we say, how much do you need
00:13:06.28\00:13:12.72
to walk, in other
words, to get healthy?
00:13:12.75\00:13:15.19
Well what we have found is the
more a patient walks the more
00:13:15.22\00:13:20.03
healthy they become. So we have
these patients walking a lot.
00:13:20.06\00:13:24.17
It was interesting with Joe. Joe
used to cycle a lot and I told
00:13:24.20\00:13:29.64
him, I said activity is activity
specific. So having exercise
00:13:29.67\00:13:35.08
tolerance for cycling
is different than having
00:13:35.11\00:13:37.65
exercise tolerance for walking.
00:13:37.68\00:13:39.41
And he found that out. He had a
good healthy cardiac reserve but
00:13:39.45\00:13:44.55
he found that walking was
a little different and uses a
00:13:44.59\00:13:47.36
little bit different muscles and
it actually, once he got going,
00:13:47.42\00:13:51.66
he was doing great. He was
doing up to, I believe, six
00:13:51.69\00:13:54.36
miles a day. Wow. Yeah.
00:13:54.40\00:13:56.56
Can I ask you this. If walking
is good is running better?
00:13:56.60\00:14:01.80
That's a great question. You
know it depends on what you're
00:14:01.84\00:14:06.41
trying to do, okay. But I
believe if you're trying to be
00:14:06.44\00:14:10.95
healthy walking is the best way.
Let me tell you why I say that.
00:14:10.98\00:14:15.08
For somebody who is running and
running hard we think of that as
00:14:15.12\00:14:19.19
an aerobic activity because
they're breathing hard but
00:14:19.22\00:14:23.86
really where aerobics makes
a difference is at a cellular
00:14:23.89\00:14:28.46
level, at your tissue level, and
at a tissue level when you're
00:14:28.50\00:14:32.17
working so hard, you're
breathing fast, your heart rate
00:14:32.20\00:14:35.57
is up, you only burn glucose.
Take you all the way back to
00:14:35.60\00:14:38.87
high school chemistry. You go
through that cycle we call the
00:14:38.94\00:14:43.18
Krebs cycle. So that is not
always the most optimal way to
00:14:43.21\00:14:47.38
be healthy whereas if you walk
at a moderate pace where you can
00:14:47.42\00:14:51.69
keep up a conversation if you're
walking, it actually burns 50
00:14:51.75\00:14:56.09
percent fat and 50 percent
glucose so it's actually better
00:14:56.12\00:15:00.16
for your body and most of us
could stand to lose a little bit
00:15:00.20\00:15:04.00
of weight so if we burn a
little fat, it's better for us.
00:15:04.03\00:15:08.04
So what I heard you say in the
layman's terms, running is to
00:15:08.07\00:15:12.04
get fit, walking
is to get healthy.
00:15:12.07\00:15:15.51
I like that. You like that?
00:15:15.54\00:15:17.65
I like that and also too running
tends to be hard on your joints.
00:15:17.71\00:15:21.08
Yeah. Yeah I
don't do it very much
00:15:21.12\00:15:24.59
either. Our knee joint is a
straight joint so every time we
00:15:24.65\00:15:28.99
run there's an impact between
those two bones, whereas animals
00:15:29.02\00:15:33.33
that run a lot have more of
a bowed knee joint so they land
00:15:33.36\00:15:37.63
lighter. It's not as hard
on their body. Walking is an
00:15:37.67\00:15:41.24
exercise we can do. Just about
everybody can do it. You don't
00:15:41.27\00:15:44.64
have to have a lot of special
equipment. You don't even have
00:15:44.67\00:15:48.24
to have a partner although a
partner is very helpful because
00:15:48.28\00:15:51.41
it motivates both of you to keep
going. You don't have to belong
00:15:51.45\00:15:54.58
to any special club or anything.
You know just a good pair of
00:15:54.62\00:15:57.72
shoes is really all we need.
00:15:57.75\00:15:59.09
Good to hear and I know the
viewers are going to benefit by
00:15:59.12\00:16:02.42
what you're saying here. I want
to get back to Joe because we
00:16:02.46\00:16:05.83
only have a few minutes left.
00:16:05.86\00:16:07.30
Let me give you one more thing
about Joe. Yes. I told Joe that
00:16:07.33\00:16:12.50
walking was going to be his new
medicine for his diabetes. Joe
00:16:12.53\00:16:16.84
was worried about his diabetes
because he's been on pills and
00:16:16.87\00:16:21.64
he was worried about having
to take shots. I told him that
00:16:21.68\00:16:26.41
walking for an hour is
equivalent to five units of
00:16:26.45\00:16:30.22
insulin. So I told him that's
like getting a free shot without
00:16:30.25\00:16:35.02
the needle and he loved it.
He was all in at that point.
00:16:35.06\00:16:38.19
That's so good to hear you say
that. Well what about the blood
00:16:38.23\00:16:43.10
pressure now? I know he
mentioned he had some issues
00:16:43.13\00:16:46.74
with blood pressure and issues
with diabetes. Is he off both
00:16:46.80\00:16:50.27
medications? He
got off of all of his
00:16:50.31\00:16:52.67
medications while he was here
and his numbers fluctuated a
00:16:52.74\00:16:56.61
little bit but I told him don't
get excited about that because
00:16:56.64\00:17:01.25
he's going through a transition.
His body is changing and as we
00:17:01.28\00:17:04.99
were getting to the end of the
program his numbers were really
00:17:05.02\00:17:08.82
starting to come down. It was
fascinating. We did a treadmill
00:17:08.86\00:17:12.76
test at the beginning and at
the end where they start off as
00:17:12.79\00:17:17.67
walking and he improved his
time on the treadmill and the
00:17:17.70\00:17:22.80
endurance and the physical work
of the test by a significant
00:17:22.84\00:17:27.94
amount just in 18
days. Unbelievable. Yeah.
00:17:27.98\00:17:33.01
You know before we sat down,
before we started rolling the
00:17:33.08\00:17:37.02
camera you said you had
something really nice to share
00:17:37.05\00:17:40.96
about his last...
We do two blood draws.
00:17:40.99\00:17:43.83
Two blood draws, that's right.
00:17:43.86\00:17:45.49
And the last one you had
something you wanted to share.
00:17:45.53\00:17:48.56
So his first set of numbers were
up, definitely were up and his
00:17:48.63\00:17:53.57
blood sugars came down and then
started to go back up a little
00:17:53.64\00:17:58.54
bit slowly. Some of that
was related to maybe some of the
00:17:58.57\00:18:03.14
things that were taking place
while he was here. You know, we
00:18:03.18\00:18:08.32
had a visit and we prayed about
what God was doing to change
00:18:08.38\00:18:13.05
his body and make him healthy.
And his numbers that morning
00:18:13.09\00:18:17.76
had been high and after we
prayed and after he'd eaten
00:18:17.79\00:18:23.20
lunch, his numbers dropped
significantly. Wow! Praise God.
00:18:23.23\00:18:28.60
Praise God.
That's the way God works.
00:18:28.64\00:18:30.97
When is the last time you went
to the doctor and he prayed with
00:18:31.04\00:18:34.84
you? Or let alone he took a walk
with you and then invited you to
00:18:34.88\00:18:39.15
his home to fix you a meal. It
just isn't done. Doctor, I want
00:18:39.18\00:18:43.18
to thank you. You know, I know
your time is so valuable. All
00:18:43.22\00:18:47.39
you doctors seem to be running
24 hours a day and I really
00:18:47.46\00:18:51.59
appreciate you coming
here and thank you so much.
00:18:51.63\00:18:54.13
Thank you, Ron, for
having me. It was a pleasure.
00:18:54.20\00:18:56.63
And thank you friends. Don't
go away. We have a tip for you.
00:18:56.67\00:19:01.47
I'm Michelle Irwin. I'm the
NEWSTART cooking instructor and
00:19:01.50\00:19:05.01
I'm going to show you how to
make a sunflower burger that's
00:19:05.04\00:19:08.88
gluten free, nutritious,
delicious and super versatile.
00:19:08.94\00:19:11.88
Okay, let's talk about the
ingredients that we'll be using
00:19:11.91\00:19:15.48
today. I have two cups of cooked
brown rice. I like the short
00:19:15.52\00:19:18.92
grain because it's going to give
you a little bit more binding
00:19:18.95\00:19:22.32
action and that's what we're
looking for. Two cups of raw
00:19:22.36\00:19:25.83
sunflower seeds, unsalted,
and that's really the secret
00:19:25.86\00:19:28.60
ingredient to this recipe
because it's going to give us
00:19:28.63\00:19:32.13
that oil in the nut that we
don't use. At NEWSTART we don't
00:19:32.20\00:19:35.50
use oil. So we're going to get
the oils from our nuts or our
00:19:35.54\00:19:39.27
seeds I should say. We'll be
using a grated carrot. You can
00:19:39.31\00:19:42.38
substitute the carrot for a nice
zucchini if you don't want the
00:19:42.41\00:19:45.48
carrot. I'll be adding some
fresh sage, some cumin, some
00:19:45.51\00:19:50.09
thyme, a little bit of oregano
and I have some Herbamare salt
00:19:50.12\00:19:54.69
or you could use sea salt
and granulated garlic plus a
00:19:54.72\00:19:59.29
handful of parsley to give us
that gorgeous green color we're
00:19:59.33\00:20:03.00
looking for. Okay. So let's
get started. What you'll need in
00:20:03.03\00:20:07.44
terms of appliances for this
is your food processor with the
00:20:07.47\00:20:11.64
S blade. What I'm going to do is
I'm going to add my two cups of
00:20:11.67\00:20:17.78
my sunflower seeds along with
my dry spices. So I'm adding my
00:20:17.81\00:20:23.85
cumin, my garlic, thyme,
some oregano and then some nice
00:20:23.89\00:20:32.63
Herbamare salt or sea salt.
All right what I want to do is
00:20:32.66\00:20:41.37
process this until I
achieve a nice, fine, flour-like
00:20:41.40\00:20:45.37
consistency. It's important
to note that you don't want to
00:20:45.44\00:20:48.71
over process this because you'll
turn it into sunflower seed
00:20:48.74\00:20:51.61
butter and we don't want that.
We just want to have a nice
00:20:51.65\00:21:05.49
flour-like consistency.
(Processing) Okay, so this looks
00:21:05.53\00:21:14.07
great. And I processed that
for about three minutes or less
00:21:14.10\00:21:20.24
depending on how fast your
processor is. Okay, so what I
00:21:20.28\00:21:26.31
want to do now is I want to add
my carrots or if you're going to
00:21:26.38\00:21:29.15
use zucchini in place of that
you could do that or you could
00:21:29.18\00:21:32.12
do a combination of both. The
sky's the limit with this burger
00:21:32.15\00:21:36.62
Okay and then I'm going to add
just a handful of my parsley to
00:21:36.66\00:21:41.10
give us some nice color
variation. Parsley, incidentally
00:21:41.13\00:21:44.20
is excellent for the blood.
It gives you a nice chlorophyll
00:21:44.27\00:21:47.74
that helps to cleanse your
blood. So parsley wherever you
00:21:47.77\00:21:51.21
can fit that in is good. It's
also good for your breath since
00:21:51.24\00:21:54.64
we're using garlic; we want
to make sure that we counteract
00:21:54.68\00:21:57.48
that. Pulse this a few times.
(Pulsing) And you can see that
00:21:57.51\00:22:05.59
it's already starting to bind
together for me. It's turning
00:22:05.62\00:22:11.46
into a nice little crumbly as we
add our wet ingredients. Okay,
00:22:11.49\00:22:17.27
so I'm going to add my
rice. Now you don't want to over
00:22:17.30\00:22:20.30
process this rice because it
will get gooey on you. So let's
00:22:20.34\00:22:24.31
go ahead and add a little bit at
a time here and make sure that
00:22:24.37\00:22:29.21
it gets well distributed and
you may have to stop this a few
00:22:29.24\00:22:33.28
times just to scrape it down and
just kind of spend a little bit
00:22:33.31\00:22:45.39
of time doing that if you need
to. (Pulsing) Okay I'm going to
00:22:45.43\00:22:53.84
go ahead and scrape this down.
Already it's starting to bind.
00:22:53.87\00:23:00.54
So I have precooked my brown
rice and you can definitely use
00:23:00.58\00:23:05.51
it cold like I'm doing now or
you could use it after you cook
00:23:05.55\00:23:09.72
it, just let it cool about
20 minutes because that rice is
00:23:09.75\00:23:14.72
pretty hot and it may be a
little bit harder to work with
00:23:14.76\00:23:19.73
if it's hotter. But
it definitely will work.
00:23:19.76\00:23:22.60
Okay, so we're going to add a
little bit of sage to this and
00:23:22.63\00:23:26.63
it's going to give us a nice
earthy balance to this recipe.
00:23:26.67\00:23:30.64
Fresh sage is the secret
ingredient. I can't tell you
00:23:30.67\00:23:33.17
enough great things about sage
but we're going to show you how
00:23:33.21\00:23:36.81
to use it in this recipe. I'm
just going to layer the leaves
00:23:36.85\00:23:41.32
on top of each other like so,
give them a little bit of a roll
00:23:41.38\00:23:45.62
and then take my sharp knife and
just gently, I don't want to go
00:23:45.65\00:23:51.66
crazy with bruising this so I'm
just going to work through these
00:23:51.69\00:23:56.56
herbs here, the sage, and just
give it a little chop here. Okay
00:23:56.60\00:24:02.00
now let's throw it into our food
processor, sprinkle that in, and
00:24:02.04\00:24:07.44
give it a spin. (Processing
and tipping). There I'm going to
00:24:07.48\00:24:17.85
scrape it down a little bit here
again. You can see that's really
00:24:17.89\00:24:21.69
starting to come together. And
you see all the beautiful color
00:24:21.72\00:24:26.19
variation of this dish. Okay.
What we're looking for is for it
00:24:26.23\00:24:30.60
to form really nice like so and
if you need to add a little bit
00:24:30.63\00:24:35.00
you can add a little bit
of tomato sauce or salsa if
00:24:35.04\00:24:38.91
you wanted to but it should
stick together pretty well for
00:24:38.94\00:24:42.44
you, okay. So what I'm going to
do now is I'm going to go ahead
00:24:42.48\00:24:46.28
and turn my stove to a medium
heat. You don't want to go too
00:24:46.31\00:24:50.55
high with this because these are
already cooked and they'll burn
00:24:50.59\00:24:54.79
if you do it too high. So just
get a little bit of time and
00:24:54.82\00:24:58.39
turn that burner on to about
a medium. Okay I'm going to go
00:24:58.46\00:25:01.30
old fashioned here and we're
just going to form our burgers.
00:25:01.33\00:25:04.13
I'll show you a method that you
can form them with these cool
00:25:04.17\00:25:07.57
little Mason jar tops but what
I'm going to do now is just put
00:25:07.60\00:25:11.71
this into my nonstick pan and
we're going to just cook them
00:25:11.74\00:25:17.25
for about 3-5 minutes on each
side. All right, so we're going
00:25:17.28\00:25:22.35
to let this cook and you can
press it down as well. So let me
00:25:22.38\00:25:27.46
show you how to form these
burgers using other methods.
00:25:27.49\00:25:30.73
The method I'm using today
is just on a nonstick frying pan
00:25:30.76\00:25:34.00
with no oil. But you can
definitely put it on a cookie
00:25:34.03\00:25:37.53
sheet, a nonstick cookie sheet,
or have a little we call this
00:25:37.57\00:25:41.84
Bake Magic so you can get
them at your store, to keep them
00:25:41.87\00:25:44.97
from sticking. But what I like
to do is just take a top of a
00:25:45.01\00:25:48.74
Mason jar here and if you want
to get really technical you can
00:25:48.78\00:25:53.25
use one scoop and they'll all
be about the same size. Then all
00:25:53.28\00:25:58.35
you're going to do is just kind
of press it into that ring. Just
00:25:58.39\00:26:02.76
fill that in, pack it in really
nice, and then just simply lift
00:26:02.79\00:26:06.96
and fill again. So this is a way
to make sure all your burgers
00:26:07.00\00:26:11.33
are the same size and they'll
cook the same time. You could
00:26:11.37\00:26:15.40
put this into the oven at about
350 for about 12 minutes, give
00:26:15.44\00:26:19.17
it a flip, cook it for another
10 minutes until they're brown
00:26:19.21\00:26:22.91
and that way you can do a bunch
of burgers at once if you don't
00:26:22.94\00:26:27.28
want to fry them. You can also
make little sliders. Okay so for
00:26:27.32\00:26:30.99
your fun little picnics you can
just form them in these little
00:26:31.05\00:26:35.12
jars, tops of jars. So that's
great. Let's go ahead now and
00:26:35.16\00:26:39.83
give our burger a flip and see
how it's doing. There we go. So
00:26:39.86\00:26:43.33
we want to have it just a little
bit golden brown and these are
00:26:43.37\00:26:46.80
going to be wonderful. You
can cook them ahead of time and
00:26:46.84\00:26:50.04
freeze them so when you need a
burger quickly you already have
00:26:50.07\00:26:53.17
them done and just microwave
them or put them into your pan
00:26:53.21\00:26:57.25
and reheat them gently. Or you
can actually keep this mixture
00:26:57.28\00:27:01.25
for about three days and
this mixture will stay to form
00:27:01.28\00:27:05.12
later. You can use these as
substitutes for burger crumble.
00:27:05.15\00:27:09.22
You can use it to put into your
chilies as well as make little
00:27:09.26\00:27:13.76
tacos with this burger recipe.
I can show you the finished
00:27:13.80\00:27:18.23
product of our burger and I've
plated this with my favorite bun
00:27:18.30\00:27:21.77
with some tomatoes and gorgeous
lettuce and avocados and some
00:27:21.80\00:27:26.37
onion. But feel free to have
fun with this recipe and enjoy.
