Every year in America,
00:00:11.47\00:00:12.81
there are over
one million deaths
00:00:12.84\00:00:14.18
because of Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:14.21\00:00:17.01
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:00:17.05\00:00:19.38
That's six and half
747s crashing every day.
00:00:19.41\00:00:22.98
What's even more surprising
is that the fix is easy.
00:00:23.02\00:00:26.29
It's your lifestyle.
00:00:26.32\00:00:27.79
Wouldn't it be nice
00:00:27.82\00:00:29.16
if you could actually add
quality years to your life
00:00:29.19\00:00:31.19
rather than dying
one organ at a time?
00:00:31.23\00:00:34.00
Obesity and
diabetes are the cause
00:00:34.03\00:00:35.80
of over a
million deaths per year.
00:00:35.83\00:00:38.27
Most diseases are reversible
00:00:38.30\00:00:40.44
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:00:40.47\00:00:43.30
especially Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:43.34\00:00:46.81
Seriously now,
they can be reversed
00:00:46.84\00:00:49.04
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.

00:01:06.59\00:01:09.66
Hi, friends, and
welcome to another edition
00:01:13.30\00:01:15.57
of NEWSTART Now.
00:01:15.60\00:01:17.24
I'm your host Ron Giannoni.
00:01:17.27\00:01:20.14
And we have in our studio today,
00:01:20.18\00:01:22.34
a young lady from Redding,
California, Rebecca Story.
00:01:22.38\00:01:28.05
I'd like you to take a
look at a clip that we shot
00:01:28.08\00:01:31.75
when she first arrived.
00:01:31.79\00:01:33.19
Well, my health
was deteriorating
00:01:36.12\00:01:40.00
and the medical help
00:01:40.03\00:01:44.23
that I was receiving
hasn't really solved it.
00:01:44.27\00:01:49.00
And at my age, I just
needed to get some answers.
00:01:49.04\00:01:53.74
And I've known about
NEWSTART for many years
00:01:53.78\00:01:57.15
and I've always practiced
good health for living.
00:01:57.18\00:02:01.32
Done everything I
knew of to do right,
00:02:01.35\00:02:03.45
exercise and the right food,
00:02:03.49\00:02:07.06
but somehow I couldn't
overcome this hypertension
00:02:07.09\00:02:09.79
because of the stresses
that I had been going through.
00:02:09.82\00:02:13.60
And so few weeks ago, I
decided this was the answer,
00:02:13.63\00:02:17.93
so that's why I'm here.
00:02:17.97\00:02:20.20
Well, it's just goes
along with the ageing I think,
00:02:20.24\00:02:23.87
I mean, the older we get,
00:02:23.91\00:02:26.07
the more we get
concerned about our future
00:02:26.11\00:02:28.81
and somehow I became
very self-centered about it
00:02:28.84\00:02:32.61
after my husband passed away.
00:02:32.65\00:02:35.15
And was wondering
what I could be doing
00:02:35.18\00:02:37.95
that was worthwhile,
00:02:37.99\00:02:40.59
start worrying
about your health,
00:02:40.62\00:02:42.19
you wonder why you don't
feel as good as you should
00:02:42.22\00:02:45.99
and you know you're declining
00:02:46.03\00:02:48.43
and you want to do
something about it.
00:02:48.46\00:02:50.37
The depression I
think is a result
00:02:50.40\00:02:52.67
of feeling sorry for yourself
00:02:52.70\00:02:55.90
and wondering how
you can feel better,
00:02:55.94\00:02:58.97
whatever you can do
to improve your health,
00:02:59.01\00:03:01.34
I've always been health minded.
00:03:01.38\00:03:03.28
I'm already been here one
day I've already seen a change.
00:03:03.31\00:03:08.52
The doctor has given me hope,
00:03:08.55\00:03:11.05
a medical doctor
that gave me hope.
00:03:11.09\00:03:14.06
I just finished interviewing
00:03:14.09\00:03:16.22
the physical
exercise man, I guess.
00:03:16.26\00:03:20.10
Is that a
physical therapy? Anyway.
00:03:20.13\00:03:25.10
He's given me a plan
to check my blood pressure
00:03:25.13\00:03:28.80
and then check
it after I exercise
00:03:28.84\00:03:31.71
and they will monitor me
00:03:31.74\00:03:33.48
and see if my
hypertension is improving,
00:03:33.51\00:03:37.61
so I have hope, yeah.
00:03:37.65\00:03:41.62
I really have hope.
00:03:41.65\00:03:42.98
Welcome back friends
00:03:45.15\00:03:46.49
and in our studio,
Rebecca, how are you, dear?
00:03:46.52\00:03:49.52
I'm good, thank
you. Good to see you.
00:03:49.56\00:03:52.79
And, you know, our
viewers just took a look at
00:03:52.83\00:03:55.66
when you first arrived.
00:03:55.70\00:03:57.83
And I'd like to ask you
just one simple question.
00:03:57.87\00:04:01.20
Has anything changed
from that first day till now?
00:04:01.24\00:04:06.68
A lot. A lot has changed.
00:04:06.71\00:04:09.84
Tell me what
specifically if you can name it,
00:04:09.88\00:04:13.68
what has changed the most?
00:04:13.72\00:04:16.79
It changed
exactly what I came for.
00:04:16.82\00:04:20.56
I came because of high
blood pressure problems
00:04:20.59\00:04:24.49
that I'm having, was having.
00:04:24.53\00:04:27.96
And I've
struggled with that problem
00:04:28.00\00:04:30.37
for over 10 years
from distress and problem.
00:04:30.40\00:04:33.67
You said, high blood-pressure
you're having or was having.
00:04:33.70\00:04:38.64
Does that mean you no
longer have high blood pressure?
00:04:38.67\00:04:40.58
Well, I still
have blood pressure,
00:04:40.61\00:04:42.91
but it's not crazy.
00:04:42.94\00:04:44.85
Good, good.
00:04:44.88\00:04:46.21
Yeah, and the doctor
put me at ease, perfect ease
00:04:46.25\00:04:48.75
because he said to me,
00:04:48.78\00:04:51.65
"Rebbeca, I'm not worried
about your blood pressure."
00:04:51.69\00:04:55.06
I said, "You're not?
Well, then I'm not either".
00:04:55.09\00:04:57.53
All right.
00:04:57.56\00:04:58.89
And it just, I haven't
had any more stress over it,
00:04:58.93\00:05:02.80
I'll probably have to be careful
00:05:02.83\00:05:04.53
because you have
to watch what you eat
00:05:04.57\00:05:07.90
and your lifestyle and
all, it all comes together.
00:05:07.94\00:05:13.17
And who is your
doctor through these 18 days?
00:05:13.21\00:05:15.71
Dr. Lukens.
00:05:15.74\00:05:17.08
Dr. Lukens, my very good friend.
00:05:17.11\00:05:20.22
You are blessed. Oh,
I just seem so blessed.
00:05:20.25\00:05:23.15
And highly favored at that.
Okay, you mentioned depression.
00:05:23.18\00:05:29.66
What about
depression, is that kind of--
00:05:29.69\00:05:31.26
Well, it's just something
00:05:31.29\00:05:33.13
I guess that comes with life
and the way you deal with it
00:05:33.16\00:05:38.47
and I learned
from the lectures here,
00:05:38.50\00:05:42.64
the program that we have
what they call cognitive,
00:05:42.67\00:05:47.18
I can't say that
right, behavior therapy
00:05:47.21\00:05:50.45
or you teach yourself,
00:05:50.48\00:05:52.65
how to overcome your depression.
00:05:52.68\00:05:55.78
Yes, are you
learning how to overcome?
00:05:55.82\00:05:59.85
I'm learning. Okay,
so what's the prognosis?
00:05:59.89\00:06:04.76
What are you gonna
do, when you leave here?
00:06:04.79\00:06:08.70
I'm just gonna
be so busy walking,
00:06:08.73\00:06:11.83
I won't have
time to be depressed.
00:06:11.87\00:06:14.40
There you go.
00:06:14.44\00:06:16.10
That's the best thing I can do,
00:06:16.14\00:06:18.67
the best medicine
in the world is free.
00:06:18.71\00:06:22.94
Walking is free as I don't have
to pay $400 a month for a pill.
00:06:22.98\00:06:28.58
And you were
paying $400 for a pill.
00:06:28.62\00:06:30.15
I was gonna have to
for a specific medication
00:06:30.19\00:06:35.02
for a blood thinner
00:06:35.06\00:06:37.23
just in case my blood
pressure got too high,
00:06:37.26\00:06:43.00
you know, I've learn
that there's other things
00:06:43.03\00:06:45.83
besides
pharmaceuticals that work.
00:06:45.87\00:06:50.24
Our Lord has
pharmaceutical for us
00:06:50.27\00:06:53.27
and that's our lifestyles.
00:06:53.31\00:06:55.14
And what about
the food here were--
00:06:55.18\00:07:00.28
What do you think of the food?
00:07:00.32\00:07:01.65
Well, I always had a
very good diet I thought.
00:07:01.68\00:07:04.65
I've been
vegetarian, sometimes vegan
00:07:04.69\00:07:08.66
when I felt like it but
I wasn't careful enough.
00:07:08.69\00:07:11.96
But I realized coming here,
00:07:11.99\00:07:14.96
you get lots and lots
of fiber, lots of beans.
00:07:15.00\00:07:21.07
Oh, they're so good.
00:07:21.10\00:07:23.20
And I think that's crucial
because we've been thought
00:07:23.24\00:07:28.24
that beans are the
highest sources of fiber
00:07:28.28\00:07:32.21
and probably
protein, I don't know.
00:07:32.25\00:07:36.02
Well, that's certainly
part of a whole protein
00:07:36.05\00:07:39.95
and what we teach here
is that, beans with rice.
00:07:39.99\00:07:45.46
Brown rice at that
has a perfect protein.
00:07:45.49\00:07:51.67
So when you go back to Redding,
00:07:51.70\00:07:55.87
people are gonna
see a change in you.
00:07:55.90\00:07:58.67
Maybe. Maybe?
00:07:58.71\00:08:00.81
I know they will,
I see it. Oh, really.
00:08:00.84\00:08:03.58
And what will you say to them?
00:08:03.61\00:08:06.92
What will you say
when people ask you?
00:08:06.95\00:08:08.62
What will I say?
00:08:08.65\00:08:09.98
What happened, you've changed?
00:08:10.02\00:08:12.32
I just learned a good lifestyle
and I'm gonna live by it.
00:08:12.35\00:08:17.29
And hopefully you'll refer
them to the NEWSTART program.
00:08:17.33\00:08:19.29
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:08:19.33\00:08:20.80
Oh, I'm taking home
00:08:20.83\00:08:22.16
all this
suitcase full of handouts.
00:08:22.20\00:08:26.27
Good.
00:08:26.30\00:08:27.64
They've already asked
me, what I know about it
00:08:27.67\00:08:29.97
some of my relatives
00:08:30.01\00:08:31.34
and I've got
something to show them now.
00:08:31.37\00:08:33.01
Good. How are you treated here?
00:08:33.04\00:08:35.24
Did you had a good
time while you were here?
00:08:35.28\00:08:37.65
Oh, it couldn't
have been better.
00:08:37.68\00:08:39.01
Well, the first day I was
here I was sad, I don't know.
00:08:39.05\00:08:43.18
And the staff just
took me under their wings,
00:08:43.22\00:08:49.19
prayed with me
00:08:49.22\00:08:50.56
and God acquainted
with me immediately.
00:08:50.59\00:08:53.60
Like they want to
know all about me,
00:08:53.63\00:08:55.73
you know, that felt pretty good.
00:08:55.76\00:08:59.17
Yes.
00:08:59.20\00:09:00.54
And that one day,
we went on a picnic
00:09:00.57\00:09:03.54
and we left the campus
here and went out to some farm
00:09:03.57\00:09:07.08
where there were
some hills to climb
00:09:07.11\00:09:08.74
and I wanted to climb so
bad with all these young people,
00:09:08.78\00:09:12.41
you know, I
want to be part of it
00:09:12.45\00:09:14.22
and one of the
staff came to me and said,
00:09:14.25\00:09:16.95
"Come on, Rebecca,
I'll take you up the hill".
00:09:16.99\00:09:19.59
So he took me all
the way up that hill.
00:09:19.62\00:09:22.16
Wow. Oh, I was
so thankful to him.
00:09:22.19\00:09:24.69
Good association with
people that were doing things.
00:09:24.73\00:09:28.86
I didn't have to be home
down below with the people
00:09:28.90\00:09:31.47
that couldn't walk
00:09:31.50\00:09:32.87
and I didn't think
I could do it but--
00:09:32.90\00:09:34.77
But you did. I did
because he helped me.
00:09:34.80\00:09:37.41
Now how about the massage,
00:09:37.44\00:09:39.57
I know you have a
series of massages.
00:09:39.61\00:09:43.04
I'm gonna go back home
and have massage, every week
00:09:43.08\00:09:46.95
with the money I
saved on medication.
00:09:46.98\00:09:50.05
There you go. That's good.
Who was your therapist here?
00:09:50.09\00:09:54.56
Her name was Sarah. Sarah.
00:09:54.59\00:09:56.62
And she prays with me every time
00:09:56.66\00:09:59.23
and she gave me a salt scrub.
00:09:59.26\00:10:02.70
I'm gonna go home
and learn it myself,
00:10:02.73\00:10:04.27
your skin gets
really soft after that.
00:10:04.30\00:10:06.27
I mean glowy and
I love salt scrubs.
00:10:06.30\00:10:09.27
And all that, I can't
say enough about the therapy,
00:10:09.30\00:10:13.38
the food, the emotional,
00:10:13.41\00:10:16.71
the physical, the spiritual,
00:10:16.75\00:10:22.32
those three things
just are overwhelming to me.
00:10:22.35\00:10:25.55
They are so, it's
just the answer I needed.
00:10:25.59\00:10:30.66
Amen.
Everything I really needed.
00:10:30.69\00:10:33.16
You are
definitely a changed lady.
00:10:33.19\00:10:36.77
I'm so thankful.
00:10:36.80\00:10:38.30
And so am I and I, you know,
00:10:38.33\00:10:40.94
that I'll be following
up with you in the future.
00:10:40.97\00:10:43.20
Good. Good.
00:10:43.24\00:10:44.67
We have a little program,
where we send out an email
00:10:44.71\00:10:48.88
and invite you to
personal one on one call
00:10:48.91\00:10:53.65
at least once a month.
00:10:53.68\00:10:56.38
Excuse me, we'll be doing that.
00:10:56.42\00:10:59.15
So hope to be talking with you.
00:10:59.19\00:11:02.52
You're feeling
some emotion here,
00:11:02.56\00:11:04.43
you want to share that?
00:11:04.46\00:11:06.66
I'm just an emotional person.
Well, it means you're alive.
00:11:06.70\00:11:11.33
But I'm just so
grateful, so grateful
00:11:11.37\00:11:14.44
that God was so good to
me to direct my thinking
00:11:14.47\00:11:18.81
to even come here
and even think about it.
00:11:18.84\00:11:21.04
I've known about
NEWSTART for years,
00:11:21.08\00:11:23.08
I used to live
in the Napa Valley.
00:11:23.11\00:11:26.11
I heard about
it when it started,
00:11:26.15\00:11:28.88
but I didn't dream how
much that it would help me
00:11:28.92\00:11:31.85
until later years.
00:11:31.89\00:11:33.22
Now, when I really
needed it, it was here for me.
00:11:33.25\00:11:37.49
Friends, Rebecca is speaking
to each of you out there.
00:11:37.53\00:11:41.56
Some of you know about NEWSTART.
00:11:41.60\00:11:43.37
Some of you even
know the lifestyle,
00:11:43.40\00:11:46.07
but perhaps you need to
come to our NEWSTART program
00:11:46.10\00:11:49.70
or bring a friend
or a family member
00:11:49.74\00:11:52.54
and if you'd like to
call us at 800-525-9192
00:11:52.57\00:11:57.51
someone will help you.
00:11:57.55\00:11:59.41
Rebecca, thank you so
much for taking your time
00:11:59.45\00:12:04.22
and willing to
share with the world
00:12:04.25\00:12:06.62
your experiences here at Weimar.
00:12:06.65\00:12:08.42
I wish you well and God bless.
00:12:08.46\00:12:11.89
And, friends, God bless you too
00:12:11.93\00:12:13.70
but don't go away
because after this tip,
00:12:13.73\00:12:17.60
we have Dr. Lukens.
00:12:17.63\00:12:19.10
Welcome back friends and
help me welcome Dr. Lukens.
00:12:51.80\00:12:55.37
How are you? I'm very
glad to be here again.
00:12:55.40\00:12:56.77
Good to see you again.
Talk about success stories.
00:12:56.81\00:12:59.64
I love talking
about success stories
00:12:59.67\00:13:02.54
and this young lady, Rebecca.
00:13:02.58\00:13:05.65
At 87 years age. At
87, she is doing well.
00:13:05.68\00:13:10.82
She is, yeah.
00:13:10.85\00:13:12.19
I understand though
aside from the things
00:13:12.22\00:13:15.82
that she mentioned
during our interview,
00:13:15.86\00:13:18.63
she has had several surgeries,
00:13:18.66\00:13:20.30
she did mention surgeries but--
00:13:20.33\00:13:22.10
Yeah. Did she
talk to you about this?
00:13:22.13\00:13:25.00
Well, you know,
that's in the questionnaire,
00:13:25.03\00:13:28.00
the medical records that we get.
00:13:28.04\00:13:31.81
Yeah, she had both knees
replaced about a decade apart.
00:13:31.84\00:13:36.78
She had shoulder surgery
twice several years apart.
00:13:36.81\00:13:43.05
And then she's had a
hip that was bothering her
00:13:43.08\00:13:48.12
and so that was
recent, that was last year,
00:13:48.16\00:13:51.79
no, couple of years ago.
00:13:51.83\00:13:53.86
And then, yeah,
00:13:53.90\00:13:55.83
so, well when you have
all this different parts
00:13:55.86\00:13:59.30
that are kind of a problem.
00:13:59.33\00:14:02.54
I think her main
thing is though that it's,
00:14:02.57\00:14:06.47
the kind of the
sadness of losing her spouse,
00:14:06.51\00:14:11.21
her father had problems,
00:14:11.25\00:14:15.52
her mom had
Alzheimer's diseases,
00:14:15.55\00:14:17.52
I think her
father had heart disease,
00:14:17.55\00:14:19.85
her brother had a stroke
00:14:19.89\00:14:21.79
and so naturally she
is just gonna be like,
00:14:21.82\00:14:24.39
"What is my blood pressure?"
00:14:24.43\00:14:26.39
And she said, you
know, since I lost my spouse,
00:14:26.43\00:14:31.17
life is just kind of,
00:14:31.20\00:14:33.44
you know, and people
that have lost the spouse
00:14:33.47\00:14:36.87
of many, many years is
just, it takes the edge off,
00:14:36.91\00:14:40.11
it take the
happiness out of life
00:14:40.14\00:14:41.84
and so with all of
these different things,
00:14:41.88\00:14:44.88
all the different
surgeries and stuff,
00:14:44.91\00:14:46.58
she is still pretty
upbeat but with all of that,
00:14:46.61\00:14:50.05
it's just, it's easier
to just kind of slip into a,
00:14:50.09\00:14:54.29
you know, the
gloom and so forth,
00:14:54.32\00:14:56.49
so that was the main thing,
00:14:56.52\00:14:58.59
she had other
health problems too though.
00:14:58.63\00:15:00.76
But she tells me
that the depression
00:15:00.80\00:15:03.06
is kind of going away
since she has been here,
00:15:03.10\00:15:06.90
she has a newly lease on life
00:15:06.94\00:15:09.10
and with your help
and the NEWSTART program,
00:15:09.14\00:15:14.11
her blood pressure is okay now?
00:15:14.14\00:15:16.58
Is she off the medication?
00:15:16.61\00:15:18.68
You know when it
comesto blood pressure,
00:15:18.71\00:15:20.65
I would say that if I
hadn't seen Dr. William Evans,
00:15:20.68\00:15:25.35
he was at Penn
State at that time.
00:15:25.39\00:15:27.79
And I've probably said
this over and over again,
00:15:27.82\00:15:29.96
but it's so important
for the folks out there
00:15:29.99\00:15:32.56
that are listening,
00:15:32.59\00:15:34.20
if you have
elevated blood pressure
00:15:34.23\00:15:37.40
and you'll get in walking,
we suggest 3 to 5 miles a day
00:15:37.43\00:15:43.10
and of course with her
musculoskeletal problems,
00:15:43.14\00:15:47.54
I guess, whoa.
00:15:47.58\00:15:49.54
But anyway they can work--
00:15:49.58\00:15:50.91
she was up to almost
3 miles when she left.
00:15:50.95\00:15:54.12
And if you'll do that
00:15:54.15\00:15:55.48
and you have a regular
ongoing exercise program
00:15:55.52\00:15:59.79
with elevated blood pressure.
00:15:59.82\00:16:02.72
The exercise is going to
be so enormously powerful
00:16:02.76\00:16:07.16
that you're going to live longer
00:16:07.20\00:16:09.23
and a person who has
normal blood pressure
00:16:09.26\00:16:13.37
and they say I
don't have to worry
00:16:13.40\00:16:14.74
about my blood
pressure and they don't exercise
00:16:14.77\00:16:17.21
like 60% or plus of
Americans don't exercise.
00:16:17.24\00:16:20.98
That person with normal
blood pressure sedentary
00:16:21.01\00:16:24.05
is gonna die
sooner than the person
00:16:24.08\00:16:26.55
that has an
elevated blood pressure
00:16:26.58\00:16:28.08
who exercises.
00:16:28.12\00:16:29.45
That's what he said,
00:16:29.48\00:16:31.52
it's really very, very powerful.
00:16:31.55\00:16:36.36
I'm so glad to
hear you say that,
00:16:36.39\00:16:38.23
I'm not sure if the
viewers got what you just said.
00:16:38.26\00:16:41.53
But let me repeat it
and correct me if I'm wrong.
00:16:41.56\00:16:44.57
You're saying people
with elevated blood pressure,
00:16:44.60\00:16:47.87
if they watch what
they eat and they exercise--
00:16:47.90\00:16:50.44
No, he didn't
even talk about eating.
00:16:50.47\00:16:51.81
Not even eating. Yeah.
00:16:51.84\00:16:53.68
But we know that's a--
00:16:53.71\00:16:55.98
But if they exercise.
00:16:56.01\00:16:57.35
Yeah, I tell people two-thirds
of your program, now I'm saying
00:16:57.38\00:17:01.62
more than two-thirds of
your program is exercise.
00:17:01.65\00:17:04.35
Okay, all right.
00:17:04.39\00:17:05.72
So if they exercise,
00:17:05.75\00:17:07.62
then odds are that
they are gonna live longer
00:17:07.66\00:17:10.93
than people without
blood pressure problems.
00:17:10.96\00:17:13.83
Yeah, statistically.
Statistically, okay.
00:17:13.86\00:17:16.03
Well, they go a step further
00:17:16.06\00:17:19.73
with all the
Americans that are sedentary,
00:17:19.77\00:17:22.94
being sedentary has
the same health risk
00:17:22.97\00:17:26.81
as smoking one
package of cigarettes a day.
00:17:26.84\00:17:29.88
That's scary.
00:17:29.91\00:17:31.25
Well, it should be a wake
up, it's very scary, yeah.
00:17:31.28\00:17:35.32
Now Rebecca, how is she
doing with the depression?
00:17:35.35\00:17:38.89
She seems to be
someone out of it
00:17:38.92\00:17:41.26
but have you helped
her in that area, Doc?
00:17:41.29\00:17:44.39
Well, see about 15
years ago I started reading
00:17:44.43\00:17:49.90
my wife's psychic
newsletters and they said
00:17:49.93\00:17:53.50
with every
depressive treatment plan
00:17:53.54\00:17:58.21
if it doesn't include exercises,
00:17:58.24\00:18:00.11
it's not gonna be successful.
00:18:00.14\00:18:02.44
And one of the doctors
has helped us occasionally,
00:18:02.48\00:18:05.35
a psychiatrist
from over at St. Lina.
00:18:05.38\00:18:08.72
He said, you know,
exercise is so powerful.
00:18:08.75\00:18:11.52
Some of my long term
patients he said if I--
00:18:11.55\00:18:15.22
he said I would pay them
00:18:15.26\00:18:16.59
if I could get them to exercise.
00:18:16.62\00:18:18.89
Oh, you would. How much?
00:18:18.93\00:18:21.40
By the way we're
gonna have to have flip off,
00:18:21.43\00:18:24.43
you and I with the potatoes.
00:18:24.47\00:18:29.54
Oh, okay.
00:18:29.57\00:18:30.91
I asked several
people, when is the last time
00:18:30.94\00:18:34.34
a doctor has
invited you to their home
00:18:34.38\00:18:38.01
and they cook a meal for you.
00:18:38.05\00:18:40.22
And they were so
grateful to be in your home,
00:18:40.25\00:18:46.76
to have you be a
part of their life,
00:18:46.79\00:18:49.36
to eat breakfast with
them, to walk with them.
00:18:49.39\00:18:52.33
You know, doc, I just--
00:18:52.36\00:18:54.96
God must bless you
everyday for your work here
00:18:55.00\00:18:57.70
and I thank you for that.
00:18:57.73\00:18:59.07
Well, you know what,
00:18:59.10\00:19:00.44
the reason why it's so important
00:19:00.47\00:19:01.80
I feel to do that
is when we go there,
00:19:01.84\00:19:04.14
we just do the
simplest little preparations
00:19:04.17\00:19:07.18
like putting
fresh fruit on toasts
00:19:07.21\00:19:09.44
with some nuts
and they said woo woo.
00:19:09.48\00:19:12.98
You know, and it is so simple
00:19:13.01\00:19:15.22
and then cooking
food in a crock-pot.
00:19:15.25\00:19:17.42
But let's get back to
Rebecca, the thing is that
00:19:17.45\00:19:21.22
she may not have stressed that
00:19:21.26\00:19:22.59
but she had atrial fibrillation.
00:19:22.62\00:19:25.26
And that's where the heart's
kind of quivers at the top
00:19:25.29\00:19:28.43
and then
sometimes when it beats,
00:19:28.46\00:19:30.67
a debris or a clot
or something will go up
00:19:30.70\00:19:33.67
and give a stroke.
00:19:33.70\00:19:35.04
And maybe her brother had
that one when he got a stroke.
00:19:35.07\00:19:37.84
And she was on medication,
00:19:37.87\00:19:39.27
it was costing her $400 a month.
00:19:39.31\00:19:43.98
When we took her off of that
00:19:44.01\00:19:45.35
and I said at your
age we've always been told
00:19:45.38\00:19:48.32
that, you know, you could use
00:19:48.35\00:19:49.95
something more simple than that.
00:19:49.98\00:19:51.72
She just went out and
cried because she didn't know
00:19:51.75\00:19:53.86
where she is gonna
have that $400 coming from
00:19:53.89\00:19:56.89
every month.
00:19:56.93\00:19:58.26
She told me she is gonna stop
that and get massages instead.
00:19:58.29\00:20:03.06
Doc, we've have run out of time.
00:20:03.10\00:20:04.73
I want to thank
you for being here
00:20:04.77\00:20:06.47
and God bless you in
your work at NEWSTART program.
00:20:06.50\00:20:09.40
Thank you. And
friends, thank you.
00:20:09.44\00:20:10.77
Don't go away, we
have a tip for you.
00:20:10.81\00:20:13.04
I'm gonna teach you how
to make a great spring roll
00:20:17.05\00:20:20.28
that you can put so
many raw ingredients in,
00:20:20.32\00:20:22.52
it will almost be like
eating a salad in a wrap.
00:20:22.55\00:20:25.65
Okay, let's talk about
what goes into a spring roll.
00:20:25.69\00:20:28.32
Now mind you,
00:20:28.36\00:20:29.69
you can put whatever
you want in a spring roll,
00:20:29.72\00:20:31.63
but these are
just some ingredients
00:20:31.66\00:20:33.09
that I think make them
taste a little special.
00:20:33.13\00:20:35.96
We are gonna be using
this really cool ingredient
00:20:36.00\00:20:38.53
called mung bean noodles
00:20:38.57\00:20:40.60
and you can buy
these at you Asian store.
00:20:40.64\00:20:42.67
If you didn't want
to use mung bean noodles
00:20:42.70\00:20:44.34
you could use zucchini,
00:20:44.37\00:20:45.71
you could also just
use brown rice noodle
00:20:45.74\00:20:48.48
and all I have done is,
I've just put them in some water
00:20:48.51\00:20:50.71
and they turned into these
lovely little glass noodles.
00:20:50.75\00:20:54.05
I'll be adding some
basil and I love fresh basil
00:20:54.08\00:20:57.09
because you can literally
just grow this in your kitchen
00:20:57.12\00:21:00.16
and there is nothing
better than having fresh herbs
00:21:00.19\00:21:02.39
in your food.
00:21:02.42\00:21:03.76
These are mung bean
sprouts, highly nutritious,
00:21:03.79\00:21:06.49
they're great water content
00:21:06.53\00:21:08.20
and so it has a
nice crunch component.
00:21:08.23\00:21:10.67
This is some baked tofu.
00:21:10.70\00:21:12.90
You could use raw
tofu if you wanted to,
00:21:12.93\00:21:14.60
you can marinate your own tofu
00:21:14.64\00:21:16.30
which ever you want to
do is totally up to you.
00:21:16.34\00:21:19.34
I'll be using
some shredded carrots
00:21:19.37\00:21:21.31
high in beta-carotene.
00:21:21.34\00:21:22.74
We all know
that's good for our eyes
00:21:22.78\00:21:24.81
and also it just
adds some beautiful color.
00:21:24.85\00:21:27.48
I'd like to use
some toasted almonds
00:21:27.52\00:21:29.08
but you are welcome
to use anything you like.
00:21:29.12\00:21:32.09
Some mint, that just
gives it a till extra special,
00:21:32.12\00:21:35.02
that component,
00:21:35.06\00:21:36.39
that mint gives you
that nice hint of mint.
00:21:36.42\00:21:38.79
And I like
cilantro and I love avocado.
00:21:38.83\00:21:43.26
And avocados are
great source of fat
00:21:43.30\00:21:45.73
and I want to show you
how to tell a good avocado
00:21:45.77\00:21:48.37
from a bad avocado at the store.
00:21:48.40\00:21:50.34
I've spent a lot of
many getting avocados
00:21:50.37\00:21:52.81
and here's a really cool trick.
00:21:52.84\00:21:54.41
When you pick it
up, look for avocados
00:21:54.44\00:21:56.11
that have these
little stems in there
00:21:56.14\00:21:58.51
and you want to just
squeeze it at the top,
00:21:58.55\00:22:00.78
if it gives, that's
good, if it's just mushy,
00:22:00.82\00:22:04.65
you don't want to use
it, but a sure way to tell
00:22:04.69\00:22:07.02
if your avocado is really
good is take off that stem
00:22:07.06\00:22:10.19
and if it's green under there,
00:22:10.23\00:22:11.73
then you know it's good as well.
00:22:11.76\00:22:13.29
Now, you can always find avocado
00:22:13.33\00:22:14.83
that's definitely not
ready to be used that's unripe,
00:22:14.86\00:22:17.93
then just leave
it on your counter
00:22:17.97\00:22:19.37
and that would work as well,
00:22:19.40\00:22:20.74
but I'm gonna show you
how to slice an avocado.
00:22:20.77\00:22:22.60
Let's take our avocado
00:22:22.64\00:22:24.21
and right where we
pulled out that stem.
00:22:24.24\00:22:26.27
We're gonna take our chef knife
00:22:26.31\00:22:27.68
and go straight
through that stem
00:22:27.71\00:22:30.85
and make a nice
cut, give it a spin
00:22:30.88\00:22:33.45
and inside is a perfect avocado.
00:22:33.48\00:22:36.12
Now, if I was only
gonna use half of an avocado,
00:22:36.15\00:22:39.05
I would use this half. Why?
00:22:39.09\00:22:41.02
Because this pit will
actually help it from oxidizing.
00:22:41.06\00:22:44.79
You can also sprinkle little
bit of lemon juice on there
00:22:44.83\00:22:46.66
as well, but I'm gonna
show you how to pit an avocado
00:22:46.70\00:22:49.90
to make it easy.
00:22:49.93\00:22:51.27
Now, when we
work with an avocado,
00:22:51.30\00:22:52.73
we never want to take
our knife and go like this,
00:22:52.77\00:22:55.30
this is very dangerous
00:22:55.34\00:22:56.67
and especially if
you have sharp knife
00:22:56.71\00:22:58.17
which I want you all to have.
00:22:58.21\00:22:59.67
Don't use a dull
knife, it's more dangerous.
00:22:59.71\00:23:02.08
You could slice
right through your hand.
00:23:02.11\00:23:03.88
So put it on the cutting board
00:23:03.91\00:23:05.71
and what you need is
you take your chef knife,
00:23:05.75\00:23:07.82
give it a little tap, a spin
00:23:07.85\00:23:10.45
and then you're
going to tap it off again
00:23:10.49\00:23:13.12
and as simple as that.
00:23:13.15\00:23:14.99
Now what I would
like to do at this stage
00:23:15.02\00:23:17.33
is cut through the skin
00:23:17.36\00:23:20.40
and what you have is
just a beautiful avocado
00:23:20.43\00:23:24.13
without having
all those handprints
00:23:24.17\00:23:25.77
and everything in there.
00:23:25.80\00:23:27.14
And then at this stage,
00:23:27.17\00:23:28.50
you can just take
your avocado and dice it,
00:23:28.54\00:23:32.17
fan it if you like as well.
00:23:32.21\00:23:34.11
So it's really simple,
00:23:34.14\00:23:35.81
it's an easy way to
have that pretty avocado look
00:23:35.84\00:23:40.82
without a lot of
fingerprints in there
00:23:40.85\00:23:43.02
and it's just super simple.
00:23:43.05\00:23:44.62
Okay, and don't worry too much
00:23:45.69\00:23:48.59
and if you get a little
bit on your hands, that's okay.
00:23:48.62\00:23:51.63
We are gonna be
using our hands today.
00:23:51.66\00:23:54.10
All right, avocados are great,
00:23:54.13\00:23:58.10
they are very good
for expecting mothers.
00:23:58.13\00:24:01.27
Isn't it
interesting that in avocado
00:24:01.30\00:24:03.74
from the time it's a flower
to fully developed is 9 months,
00:24:03.77\00:24:07.58
so that gives us
a little bit of hint
00:24:07.61\00:24:09.28
of maybe what food
is good for us as far.
00:24:09.31\00:24:12.75
So let's put our
avocado slices in there.
00:24:12.78\00:24:15.32
Now what I want to do is,
00:24:15.35\00:24:16.69
teach you how to
make a spring roll.
00:24:16.72\00:24:18.32
When I first started
working with spring rolls,
00:24:18.35\00:24:20.66
I had trouble with
them getting too soft on me
00:24:20.69\00:24:24.63
and they would
just become a big mess,
00:24:24.66\00:24:26.36
but I want to show you a really
cool trick that you can use.
00:24:26.39\00:24:29.40
These are just
spring roll wrappers,
00:24:29.43\00:24:31.33
they are rice paper
and what you want to do
00:24:31.37\00:24:33.47
is you want to inspect them
00:24:33.50\00:24:34.84
if there is tears
and holes in there.
00:24:34.87\00:24:36.64
You just want to set those aside
00:24:36.67\00:24:38.01
because it's gonna
make your job a lot harder
00:24:38.04\00:24:39.87
when you come
torole your spring roll.
00:24:39.91\00:24:41.94
So that's a good one.
00:24:41.98\00:24:43.31
I have a shallow bowl of water
00:24:43.35\00:24:44.98
and I like to use as
hottest water as I can,
00:24:45.01\00:24:47.45
it could be warm but to have
it hotter makes it a lot easer
00:24:47.48\00:24:50.79
for when you're gonna
roll these into your wraps.
00:24:50.82\00:24:53.56
So what we're gonna do is
just put this into the water
00:24:53.59\00:24:55.99
and maybe for
about 10 seconds tops.
00:24:56.02\00:24:59.23
We don't want to
go longer than that
00:24:59.26\00:25:00.80
because what you're
gonna end up with is
00:25:00.83\00:25:02.33
a roll that's too
hard to work with.
00:25:02.36\00:25:05.13
Now I'm gonna
set this on my server
00:25:05.17\00:25:07.24
and let it sit here
for about 30 seconds,
00:25:07.27\00:25:09.47
it will continue to soften
00:25:09.50\00:25:11.17
and mean while if I were to have
00:25:11.21\00:25:12.64
a bunch of
people over at my house,
00:25:12.67\00:25:14.64
I'll probably let
them wrap their own roll.
00:25:14.68\00:25:17.18
And so in the mean time,
00:25:17.21\00:25:18.55
I will just
continue to get these wet,
00:25:18.58\00:25:19.91
put them on their
own individual plates
00:25:19.95\00:25:21.68
and they can go
through a la carte
00:25:21.72\00:25:23.69
for whatever they
want in the spring roll.
00:25:23.72\00:25:25.69
But at this stage
we're getting nice and soft,
00:25:25.72\00:25:28.49
so let's go ahead
and add what we want.
00:25:28.52\00:25:31.19
Now imagine your
spring roll is like a clock
00:25:31.23\00:25:34.86
and between 4 and 8 o'clock
00:25:34.90\00:25:37.53
is where you want
to be working from.
00:25:37.57\00:25:39.37
So below 3 and 9,
00:25:39.40\00:25:40.74
you want to be
working on that bottom third.
00:25:40.77\00:25:42.77
And we're gonna be adding our,
00:25:42.80\00:25:45.77
our little mung bean
noodles to this, okay.
00:25:45.81\00:25:49.34
And then we'll add our sprouts.
00:25:49.38\00:25:52.58
Nuts and tofu, some carrots
00:25:52.61\00:25:56.42
and you can make
these as big as you want,
00:25:56.45\00:25:58.25
but just be aware it's a
lot harder to roll when you do.
00:25:58.29\00:26:01.69
I'm gonna add maybe a
little bit of almonds in here
00:26:01.72\00:26:04.29
and then my mint
leaves, my cilantro,
00:26:04.33\00:26:08.73
slices of avocado, okay.
00:26:08.76\00:26:12.70
And then I want to get
a nice basil leaf in here.
00:26:12.73\00:26:16.60
And now what we're gonna do
00:26:16.64\00:26:18.47
is we're gonna work on
that bottom third of our warp
00:26:18.51\00:26:22.34
and we're simply
just gonna roll it over
00:26:22.38\00:26:24.41
like you would a burrito.
00:26:24.45\00:26:26.35
So roll that
bottom part over first,
00:26:26.38\00:26:29.78
then tuck in your sides.
00:26:29.82\00:26:31.45
Okay, and it does
help to have gloves on.
00:26:34.52\00:26:36.83
By the way, it
makes it a lot easier,
00:26:36.86\00:26:38.56
but you can just roll
them with your bare hands
00:26:38.59\00:26:40.10
if you want.
00:26:40.13\00:26:42.00
Okay, and then we'll just
roll it up to a nice roll like.
00:26:42.03\00:26:46.63
So at this stage, I
can cut these in half
00:26:46.67\00:26:50.44
or in thirds or however
I want it to present them.
00:26:50.47\00:26:55.01
And then you can just leave them
00:26:55.04\00:26:57.15
like so let things kind of
poke out that's pretty too.
00:26:57.18\00:27:00.72
And then just lay
'em as you'd like.
00:27:00.75\00:27:03.12
And I like to add my
almond sauce to these
00:27:03.15\00:27:05.05
and just be kind of careful,
00:27:05.09\00:27:06.42
they are little
delicate but that's okay.
00:27:06.45\00:27:10.26
And then as you continue
to make more of your rolls,
00:27:10.29\00:27:13.90
just make it very
pretty around this tray.
00:27:13.93\00:27:17.20
And then of course
you can always top it off
00:27:17.23\00:27:19.07
with some lovely
almond sauce that we made
00:27:19.10\00:27:22.24
and if you need that recipe,
00:27:22.27\00:27:23.87
