Every year in America,
00:00:11.01\00:00:12.34
there are over
one million deaths
00:00:12.37\00:00:13.71
because of Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:13.74\00:00:16.68
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:00:16.71\00:00:19.01
That's six and half
747s crashing every day.
00:00:19.05\00:00:22.58
What's even more surprising
is that the fix is easy.
00:00:22.62\00:00:25.95
It's your lifestyle.
00:00:25.99\00:00:27.52
Wouldn't it be nice
00:00:27.56\00:00:28.89
if you could actually add
quality years to your life
00:00:28.92\00:00:30.73
rather than dying
one organ at a time?
00:00:30.76\00:00:33.66
Obesity and diabetes
00:00:33.70\00:00:35.03
are the cause of over
million deaths per year.
00:00:35.06\00:00:37.93
Most diseases are reversible
00:00:37.97\00:00:40.04
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:00:40.07\00:00:42.97
especially Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:43.00\00:00:46.44
Seriously now,
they can be reversed
00:00:46.47\00:00:48.58
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.

Hi, friends, and welcome
00:01:11.60\00:01:12.93
to another
edition of NEWSTART Now.
00:01:12.97\00:01:15.64
I'm your host Ron Giannoni.
00:01:15.67\00:01:18.97
In our studio with
me I have a young man
00:01:19.01\00:01:21.04
by the name of Marc Caselli.
00:01:21.08\00:01:23.68
Marc has an interesting past
00:01:23.71\00:01:25.61
that we're going to
talk about in just a moment,
00:01:25.65\00:01:28.38
but I'd like for
you to take a look at
00:01:28.42\00:01:30.09
when Marc first arrived.
00:01:30.12\00:01:32.62
Heart attack a year ago.
00:01:35.69\00:01:37.29
I'm on a lot of medication,
00:01:37.33\00:01:41.53
I'm overweight, I'm stressed,
00:01:41.56\00:01:43.90
I'm depressed,
everything that's...
00:01:43.93\00:01:47.70
that could be wrong
with me is wrong with me.
00:01:47.74\00:01:50.57
I have that
predictive personality too,
00:01:50.61\00:01:52.17
so I self-medicate.
00:01:52.21\00:01:55.41
I could've stopped
on my own, had I...
00:01:55.44\00:02:00.52
I had the
depression, I've been so bad,
00:02:00.55\00:02:01.88
but it gets so bad...
00:02:01.92\00:02:03.25
My bed is where I want to
be for four, five, six days,
00:02:07.79\00:02:10.66
leave me alone, if I don't
have to go work, leave me alone.
00:02:10.69\00:02:14.50
I want to lose
weight, it's my main goal,
00:02:14.53\00:02:20.14
that's what I really want.
00:02:20.17\00:02:21.50
And I want to get my mind back,
00:02:21.54\00:02:22.87
I want to be normal,
I want to feel normal.
00:02:22.90\00:02:24.94
I want to be energetic,
00:02:24.97\00:02:26.78
I want to feel like I'm
living instead of dying.
00:02:26.81\00:02:30.71
It's what I want,
that's what I really want.
00:02:30.75\00:02:33.92
I want to eat
like normal people eat,
00:02:33.95\00:02:36.22
you know, not six tacos,
and then go back for more.
00:02:36.25\00:02:40.86
Around six
medications in the morning,
00:02:40.89\00:02:43.09
and about the same at night,
00:02:43.12\00:02:44.99
everything from blood
pressure pills to lasix
00:02:45.03\00:02:47.96
to vitamin D
pills, pills for my brain,
00:02:48.00\00:02:53.67
pills to control my
cholesterol, everything.
00:02:53.70\00:02:56.07
And I've been told if
I just lost the weight,
00:02:56.10\00:02:59.17
that I could get
rid of most all those
00:02:59.21\00:03:00.98
even though the heart
specialists are telling me
00:03:01.01\00:03:02.64
I'll probably be on
pills rest of my life.
00:03:02.68\00:03:07.42
Welcome back,
friends, and as I promised,
00:03:07.45\00:03:09.28
Marc, how are you, Brother?
00:03:09.32\00:03:10.95
I'm good. How are you?
I'm good. You got a good grip.
00:03:10.99\00:03:13.72
Thank you.
00:03:13.76\00:03:15.26
You're a big guy.
00:03:15.29\00:03:17.29
Not so much anymore.
00:03:17.33\00:03:19.59
That's a good segue into
00:03:19.63\00:03:22.36
why do you say
not so much anymore,
00:03:22.40\00:03:24.80
how much weight have you lost?
00:03:24.83\00:03:26.17
Well, I've lost
around 16-17 pounds
00:03:26.20\00:03:28.97
since I've been here.
00:03:29.00\00:03:30.34
But, you know,
you were telling me
00:03:30.37\00:03:31.71
before we got started that
you've lost about 35 pounds
00:03:31.74\00:03:34.71
in prior to your
coming here and here?
00:03:34.74\00:03:37.88
Yup, yup.
00:03:37.91\00:03:39.25
Prior to coming here, about
a month before I came here,
00:03:39.28\00:03:40.98
I started losing it, and
the reason why I came here
00:03:41.02\00:03:44.22
was just to kick it
in gear, to get it going.
00:03:44.25\00:03:47.89
Yeah.
00:03:47.92\00:03:49.26
Now ultimately,
there are other reasons
00:03:49.29\00:03:51.96
why you came here.
00:03:51.99\00:03:53.70
Share with us now, we know
00:03:53.73\00:03:55.90
because in your first interview
00:03:55.93\00:03:57.37
you said you had a heart attack.
00:03:57.40\00:03:58.87
Yeah.
00:03:58.90\00:04:00.24
Do you feel
00:04:00.27\00:04:01.60
that you're much more
skilled or knowledgeable
00:04:01.64\00:04:05.41
about preventing another one?
00:04:05.44\00:04:07.11
Yeah, now that I
know that what caused it,
00:04:07.14\00:04:09.54
and where my numbers lie now,
and where my numbers were then,
00:04:09.58\00:04:13.08
yeah, I know exactly what to do.
00:04:13.11\00:04:15.95
And so, how are
your numbers changed?
00:04:15.98\00:04:19.39
Well, I'm not even diabetic,
00:04:19.42\00:04:21.46
and my blood sugar
was borderline diabetic
00:04:21.49\00:04:23.56
when I got here.
00:04:23.59\00:04:25.06
That's gone down.
00:04:25.09\00:04:26.43
My cholesterol's
dropped in 10 points,
00:04:26.46\00:04:28.83
my triglycerides
have dropped 10 points,
00:04:28.86\00:04:31.93
and a bunch of other
numbers that are important
00:04:31.97\00:04:33.30
that I don't really
remember have dropped.
00:04:33.34\00:04:35.77
Yeah.
00:04:35.80\00:04:37.24
Yeah, everything is gone
down including my weight.
00:04:37.27\00:04:39.94
So the doctors are
pleased with what's going on.
00:04:39.97\00:04:42.04
Absolutely.
00:04:42.08\00:04:43.41
You're off some
medications but...
00:04:43.45\00:04:45.48
Some meds.
00:04:45.51\00:04:46.85
When I get home, I plan on
getting off the rest of them
00:04:46.88\00:04:49.15
under my doctor's care.
00:04:49.18\00:04:50.95
Now you've seen a cardiologist?
00:04:50.99\00:04:52.95
A heart specialist, yeah. Yeah.
00:04:52.99\00:04:55.09
And he will kind of guide you
00:04:55.12\00:04:56.73
on when to stop
the laboratories...
00:04:56.76\00:04:59.56
Right. Right.
00:04:59.59\00:05:00.93
When I get home, I've got a EKG
00:05:00.96\00:05:03.40
or echocardiogram scheduled
00:05:03.43\00:05:05.67
to see if my
heart repaired itself.
00:05:05.70\00:05:07.84
All right.
00:05:07.87\00:05:09.20
So we'll see, I
think it's doing good.
00:05:09.24\00:05:12.61
Good.
00:05:12.64\00:05:13.98
So when you got
here, could you walk okay?
00:05:14.01\00:05:17.05
Oh, I could walk
fine but for no distance.
00:05:17.08\00:05:20.65
I mean, I didn't
have any, you know...
00:05:20.68\00:05:23.32
How far do you walk now?
00:05:23.35\00:05:25.39
Well, I've been
walking three miles a day
00:05:25.42\00:05:27.32
on the treadmill
for an hour everyday.
00:05:27.36\00:05:29.39
No problem without stopping
00:05:29.42\00:05:30.99
so, and I could
probably go further.
00:05:31.03\00:05:33.80
How about around...?
00:05:33.83\00:05:35.16
Have you been around
the loop and around...?
00:05:35.20\00:05:36.56
I have, I have.
00:05:36.60\00:05:37.93
I've been around the
loop, and it's no problem.
00:05:37.97\00:05:40.17
My legs are finally
starting to get into shape.
00:05:40.20\00:05:43.84
Takes a while. Takes a while.
00:05:43.87\00:05:45.21
It's hard to do in 18 days
but 18 days here is excellent.
00:05:45.24\00:05:49.81
What did you like
most about your stay here
00:05:49.84\00:05:52.81
in the last 16 days?
00:05:52.85\00:05:55.58
What I liked most was the care.
00:05:55.62\00:05:59.82
What do you mean by that?
00:05:59.85\00:06:01.19
The doctor's care.
00:06:01.22\00:06:02.99
They paid a lot of attention
to my body, to my numbers.
00:06:07.50\00:06:10.43
It was important, they
just didn't look at you,
00:06:10.47\00:06:12.03
and look in your ears,
and send you off, they...
00:06:12.07\00:06:14.24
Blood tests, and sugar
tests, and blood pressure tests,
00:06:14.27\00:06:18.47
and day and night, and
kept a good watch on me.
00:06:18.51\00:06:22.84
The food was a little
tough to get used to at first
00:06:22.88\00:06:26.78
but, very good.
00:06:26.82\00:06:29.72
It got results. It got results.
00:06:29.75\00:06:32.32
You are good. Yeah.
00:06:32.35\00:06:34.09
You know, something
you said that interest me,
00:06:34.12\00:06:36.39
you said, "The care."
00:06:36.42\00:06:38.46
You know, Marc, when I
came through here in '05,
00:06:38.49\00:06:42.50
that's one of the things
that sparked my interest.
00:06:42.53\00:06:45.33
I said to my wife who I
came through with, I said,
00:06:45.37\00:06:49.10
"Man, there's something
going on here, it's unusual.
00:06:49.14\00:06:52.37
People care."
00:06:52.41\00:06:53.74
Yeah, everybody,
00:06:53.78\00:06:55.11
even the people that
come in and clean your room.
00:06:55.14\00:06:57.38
Exactly. They care.
00:06:57.41\00:06:58.75
Dorothy.
00:06:58.78\00:07:00.12
People that you're in
the program with care.
00:07:00.15\00:07:01.48
Everybody cares.
00:07:01.52\00:07:02.85
I've got couple
of cards from people
00:07:02.88\00:07:04.22
who slipped couple on
my door, worrying about me.
00:07:04.25\00:07:07.29
Ain't that nice? Yeah.
00:07:07.32\00:07:09.19
So tell us...
00:07:09.22\00:07:12.29
You were telling us you
were somewhat depressed?
00:07:12.33\00:07:16.53
Oh, yeah.
00:07:16.56\00:07:19.00
That I'm still working
on but it's come a long way.
00:07:19.03\00:07:22.57
A long way.
00:07:22.60\00:07:23.94
I'm mostly depressed
while having to leave...
00:07:23.97\00:07:26.47
right now.
00:07:26.51\00:07:27.84
Now you don't... No,
I don't want to leave.
00:07:27.88\00:07:29.21
You don't want to leave. Right.
00:07:29.24\00:07:30.71
Well, I understand.
But, you know, it's...
00:07:30.75\00:07:34.22
I could, you know,
without going into a big,
00:07:34.25\00:07:36.32
long history of my
past, just couldn't figure out
00:07:36.35\00:07:40.19
why I felt so
horrible, and coming here,
00:07:40.22\00:07:43.39
I was hoping that the
weight was one of the reasons,
00:07:43.43\00:07:46.23
and the weight was
a lot of the reasons.
00:07:46.26\00:07:48.63
I still have some issues,
00:07:48.66\00:07:50.00
but I got tools
now to work on it.
00:07:50.03\00:07:52.73
You know, Marc, let me
say in passing real quick.
00:07:52.77\00:07:55.90
When I came
here, I was depressed
00:07:55.94\00:07:57.44
and suffering from anxiety,
00:07:57.47\00:07:59.74
and when I
started losing the weight,
00:07:59.77\00:08:02.04
and I started
eating and exercising,
00:08:02.08\00:08:04.11
all of a sudden, it
just slowly dissipated.
00:08:04.15\00:08:06.61
Yeah.
00:08:06.65\00:08:07.98
And so hang in there, Brother.
00:08:08.02\00:08:10.19
I've got much more energy now.
00:08:10.22\00:08:12.15
Before I didn't want to,
00:08:12.19\00:08:13.56
you know, the
simple task of going,
00:08:13.59\00:08:16.56
even going to,
having to take a shower,
00:08:16.59\00:08:18.49
just going to the bathroom,
00:08:18.53\00:08:20.33
or having to do
anything was just...
00:08:20.36\00:08:21.70
An ordeal.
00:08:21.73\00:08:23.06
An ordeal, and now
it's no big deal at all.
00:08:23.10\00:08:25.03
Yeah.
00:08:25.07\00:08:26.40
To say the least, you know.
00:08:26.43\00:08:27.77
Well, that's awesome, awesome.
00:08:27.80\00:08:29.80
You know, we're
going to keep in touch.
00:08:29.84\00:08:32.17
After you leave them,
we'll do some follow-up,
00:08:32.21\00:08:34.64
and I'll do some
phone calls with you,
00:08:34.68\00:08:36.81
and we'll encourage
and inspire hopefully.
00:08:36.85\00:08:39.58
And you could
always come and visit,
00:08:39.61\00:08:41.08
you're not that far away.
00:08:41.12\00:08:42.45
Right, yeah.
00:08:42.48\00:08:43.82
Luckily, I'm only an hour away.
00:08:43.85\00:08:45.19
Yeah.
00:08:45.22\00:08:46.55
Now, did the program
meet your expectations?
00:08:46.59\00:08:50.49
Yeah, yes, it did.
00:08:50.53\00:08:52.29
Yeah. Absolutely.
00:08:52.33\00:08:53.73
They exceed your's...
They exceeded actually.
00:08:53.76\00:08:57.03
It's not what I pictured,
00:08:57.07\00:08:59.83
you know, I've
pictured a fat camp,
00:08:59.87\00:09:02.20
fat people running everywhere.
00:09:02.24\00:09:04.24
You know, "Good
morning, fat campers,"
00:09:04.27\00:09:05.61
and you know, but that's
not what it was like at all.
00:09:05.64\00:09:08.48
No. No, no, no. No.
00:09:08.51\00:09:10.15
Very soothing, and
restful for the mind and body.
00:09:10.18\00:09:13.72
Oh, good.
00:09:13.75\00:09:15.38
So what are you going
to do when you leave here?
00:09:15.42\00:09:20.62
I'm going to
continue to exercise,
00:09:20.66\00:09:23.12
and modify my diet a little bit,
00:09:23.16\00:09:27.26
not my diet,
00:09:27.30\00:09:30.70
going to continue my diet.
00:09:30.73\00:09:32.20
You missed my presentation.
00:09:32.23\00:09:34.07
Yes, I did.
00:09:34.10\00:09:35.44
The first
Saturday you were here.
00:09:35.47\00:09:37.27
People asked me, and said,
00:09:37.31\00:09:38.64
"You weren't here,
and Robert wasn't here,"
00:09:38.67\00:09:40.81
eight people didn't show up.
00:09:40.84\00:09:42.88
And they asked if I
would do another one,
00:09:42.91\00:09:44.61
I said, "Yeah, if
I was called for."
00:09:44.65\00:09:46.82
But what's unique about it
00:09:46.85\00:09:48.45
is you missed on what
to do when you get home.
00:09:48.48\00:09:51.45
And I'll tell you
briefly throw out everything,
00:09:51.49\00:09:54.69
if it resembles...
00:09:54.72\00:09:56.06
Yeah, my wife started on that.
00:09:56.09\00:09:57.43
Oh, good. Good for you.
00:09:57.46\00:09:58.83
I heard through the grapevine
00:09:58.86\00:10:00.43
that you used to
smoke when you got here.
00:10:00.46\00:10:03.93
Yeah, yeah, I smoke.
00:10:03.97\00:10:06.40
And you don't smoke any longer.
00:10:06.43\00:10:08.90
As of right now, no.
I don't smoke anymore.
00:10:08.94\00:10:11.47
As of right now.
00:10:11.51\00:10:12.84
As we speak, I don't smoke.
00:10:12.87\00:10:14.28
And does that mean you're
going to be smoking tomorrow?
00:10:14.31\00:10:16.64
No, no plan to, no.
00:10:16.68\00:10:18.01
How did you quit?
00:10:18.05\00:10:20.35
Well, I'd never really quit
00:10:20.38\00:10:24.45
for probably 15 or so, 20 years,
00:10:24.49\00:10:26.32
and then when I had my
heart attack last year,
00:10:26.35\00:10:28.06
I quit completely for 9
months, and it felt good.
00:10:28.09\00:10:32.49
So, but then I
started getting stressed out
00:10:32.53\00:10:34.20
and depressed a little
bit, so I picked it back up.
00:10:34.23\00:10:36.53
And when we got here,
00:10:36.56\00:10:39.33
Dr. Gallant, I was
in one of his lectures,
00:10:39.37\00:10:41.70
you know, how he works...
00:10:41.74\00:10:43.07
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:10:43.10\00:10:44.44
And he explained
it to everybody...
00:10:44.47\00:10:45.81
It was on air, and
explained all the carcinogens,
00:10:45.84\00:10:49.28
and all the things
they put in cigarette smoke,
00:10:49.31\00:10:53.01
and I thought, to go this far
00:10:53.05\00:10:54.88
to work on my
body every other way,
00:10:54.92\00:10:56.89
and to keep smoking
doesn't make any sense.
00:10:56.92\00:10:59.32
So he kind of...
00:10:59.35\00:11:02.66
He too was part
responsible for me quitting.
00:11:02.69\00:11:05.39
Praise God. Yeah, absolutely.
00:11:05.43\00:11:07.50
Awesome. Congratulations.
00:11:07.53\00:11:09.20
Thank you. Yeah.
00:11:09.23\00:11:10.90
You know, I'd like to
spend more time with you,
00:11:10.93\00:11:13.17
but our time has run out.
00:11:13.20\00:11:14.87
I want to thank you
for taking your time,
00:11:14.90\00:11:17.67
and being willing to
come here and open your heart.
00:11:17.71\00:11:19.37
Absolutely, thank you.
00:11:19.41\00:11:20.78
God bless you.
00:11:20.81\00:11:22.14
God bless you.
Thank you very much.
00:11:22.18\00:11:23.51
I'll be in touch.
00:11:23.55\00:11:24.88
Friends, don't go away,
00:11:24.91\00:11:26.25
Dr. Gallant will be
with us in a moment.
00:11:26.28\00:11:28.95
When we look at the health
status of Americans today,
00:11:28.98\00:11:31.82
it's alarming to see
00:11:31.85\00:11:33.19
that 60% are either
overweight or obese.
00:11:33.22\00:11:36.39
In addition, diseases
such as Type 2 diabetes,
00:11:41.56\00:11:44.50
cancer and heart
disorders are the leading cause
00:11:44.53\00:11:47.07
of so many complications
and deaths every year.
00:11:47.10\00:11:50.01
Could it have something
to do with what we eat?
00:11:54.48\00:11:56.81
After all, every one
in four Americans visits
00:11:56.85\00:12:00.22
a fast food restaurant daily,
00:12:00.25\00:12:01.92
and with such easy
access to quick fix foods,
00:12:01.95\00:12:05.45
we tend to forget
the poor health value
00:12:05.49\00:12:07.52
those foods actually offer.
00:12:07.56\00:12:10.39
Maybe it's the
sedentary lifestyle,
00:12:10.43\00:12:12.23
and lack of
exercise that we've become
00:12:12.26\00:12:14.20
so accustomed to as a
media dependant world.
00:12:14.23\00:12:17.70
Whatever the
cause of these diseases,
00:12:17.73\00:12:19.67
a solution has arrived.
00:12:19.70\00:12:23.91
The NEWSTART Lifestyle
Center offers enriching program
00:12:23.94\00:12:27.28
where patients can
get a healing of mind,
00:12:27.31\00:12:29.61
body, and soul.
00:12:29.64\00:12:31.18
Located in the
outskirts of Sacramento,
00:12:31.21\00:12:33.55
the NEWSTART Center is
situated on the beautiful campus
00:12:33.58\00:12:36.85
of Weimar Center of
Health and Education
00:12:36.89\00:12:39.62
with scenic walking and
hiking trails all around.
00:12:39.65\00:12:43.16
With a whole plant
foods eating whole motto,
00:12:43.19\00:12:46.70
the NEWSTART Center promotes
a healthy plant-based diet
00:12:46.73\00:12:49.83
with an emphasis
on natural foods.
00:12:49.86\00:12:52.40
The NEWSTART staff are made
up of California board certified
00:12:52.43\00:12:55.94
nurses, doctors,
dieticians, and therapists
00:12:55.97\00:12:59.77
who work together to
assist each patient personally.
00:12:59.81\00:13:03.24
The staff are dedicated
to each patient's success
00:13:03.28\00:13:05.81
in the program,
00:13:05.85\00:13:07.18
and are always there to
guide, advise, and encourage.
00:13:07.22\00:13:10.75
In addition to a
healthy lifestyle,
00:13:10.79\00:13:12.85
NEWSTART also promotes a
healthy exercise routine.
00:13:12.89\00:13:16.09
You're both in sequence,
that's good, all right.
00:13:16.12\00:13:18.86
As part of the balance program,
there is much opportunity
00:13:18.89\00:13:21.73
to get in the fair
share of physical activity,
00:13:21.76\00:13:24.37
from utilizing
our fitness center
00:13:24.40\00:13:26.40
to taking a stroll around
the peaceful grounds of Weimar.
00:13:26.43\00:13:30.27
It's amazing what a
NEWSTART can do for you.
00:13:30.31\00:13:35.78
Welcome back, friends. And
as I promised, Dr. Gallant.
00:13:35.81\00:13:38.91
Ron, good to see you.
00:13:38.95\00:13:40.28
Good to see you too.
00:13:40.32\00:13:41.65
And I was just thinking
that you are the new director,
00:13:41.68\00:13:45.32
but you're not new anymore,
you've been here a year.
00:13:45.35\00:13:47.89
Been here more than a year.
00:13:47.92\00:13:49.26
Over a year.
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
00:13:49.29\00:13:51.73
So you are, in
fact, the medical director
00:13:51.76\00:13:55.36
at the NEWSTART
program, is that correct?
00:13:55.40\00:13:56.97
I am. That is correct. Okay.
00:13:57.00\00:13:58.77
Well, it's good
to have you here.
00:13:58.80\00:14:00.14
Thank you. It's
good to be here with you.
00:14:00.17\00:14:01.50
You know, I want
to get right into Marc
00:14:01.54\00:14:03.64
because some very interesting
things have happened.
00:14:03.67\00:14:06.61
Yes, indeed.
00:14:06.64\00:14:07.98
You know, and I want to
kind of lead you a little bit,
00:14:08.01\00:14:09.74
so forgive me if I
get a little bit out...
00:14:09.78\00:14:13.11
You folks, forgive
me too, but nonetheless
00:14:13.15\00:14:16.55
you had to
encourage Marc in some ways.
00:14:16.58\00:14:19.45
I know, maybe, I
want to use the term
00:14:19.49\00:14:22.52
perhaps he was
not too cooperative
00:14:22.56\00:14:25.23
or fully engaged.
00:14:25.26\00:14:28.00
Tell us a little bit
about? Well, you know,
00:14:28.03\00:14:30.10
Marc is an
interesting character,
00:14:30.13\00:14:31.90
I like him. He's a lot of fun.
00:14:31.93\00:14:34.40
I've enjoyed talking with him.
00:14:34.44\00:14:35.77
Well, he's a goombah.
00:14:35.80\00:14:38.07
There you go. There you
go. Let's not forget that...
00:14:38.11\00:14:40.84
But what we have found is that
00:14:40.88\00:14:45.05
Marc takes in
all the information,
00:14:45.08\00:14:47.82
but sometimes the
application requires
00:14:47.85\00:14:50.79
a little extra encouragement.
00:14:50.82\00:14:52.69
And you've been
there to do that?
00:14:52.72\00:14:54.29
I have done that with Marc.
00:14:54.32\00:14:55.66
I want our
viewers to hear that part
00:14:55.69\00:14:57.59
because most of the
time people come here,
00:14:57.63\00:15:00.06
and they're all
in, but sometimes,
00:15:00.10\00:15:02.50
our doctors have to use
their expertise to encourage.
00:15:02.53\00:15:06.90
That's a great word. Yes.
00:15:06.94\00:15:08.40
And you know what?
00:15:08.44\00:15:09.77
I appreciate Marc
00:15:09.80\00:15:11.14
because he's
always been honest with me
00:15:11.17\00:15:12.67
about where he's at,
and what he's willing to do,
00:15:12.71\00:15:15.48
and through our
frequent contacts,
00:15:15.51\00:15:20.42
through the
visits in the clinic,
00:15:20.45\00:15:23.28
through talking with
him, walking with him,
00:15:23.32\00:15:25.85
things like that.
00:15:25.89\00:15:27.26
I've seen a change
which is a blessing.
00:15:27.29\00:15:30.63
And his family, I
understand has seen a change.
00:15:30.66\00:15:34.86
That's right, he had an
opportunity to see his family,
00:15:34.90\00:15:37.53
and his wife
commented right away
00:15:37.57\00:15:39.80
that his face had changed.
00:15:39.83\00:15:42.00
She could see the weight
loss actually in his face.
00:15:42.04\00:15:45.17
Yeah.
00:15:45.21\00:15:46.81
And, you know, I did not
know when he arrived here
00:15:46.84\00:15:51.45
that he was a smoker.
00:15:51.48\00:15:53.15
You know what?
00:15:53.18\00:15:54.52
He didn't make
that overly clear,
00:15:54.55\00:15:56.72
but he didn't hide it for long.
00:15:56.75\00:15:59.89
My nose actually could
tell that he was a smoker.
00:15:59.92\00:16:02.22
Your nose could tell. Yes.
00:16:02.26\00:16:04.49
And the good news is...
00:16:04.53\00:16:06.13
The good news is that
with some encouragement
00:16:06.16\00:16:08.30
and will power on his
side, and by the grace of God,
00:16:08.33\00:16:11.47
he's actually stopped smoking.
00:16:11.50\00:16:13.40
Ain't that amazing? It is.
00:16:13.44\00:16:14.77
And it's been
for several days now,
00:16:14.80\00:16:17.71
and that's a
blessing that he's done it,
00:16:17.74\00:16:20.68
and continued it,
and with his history,
00:16:20.71\00:16:24.01
I think it's very important
that he never smokes again.
00:16:24.05\00:16:26.88
Now let's get into
his history a little bit,
00:16:26.92\00:16:29.25
you mentioned that,
00:16:29.28\00:16:30.72
we know that Marc
suffered a heart attack,
00:16:30.75\00:16:33.69
and he's at least
pre-diabetic if not diabetic,
00:16:33.72\00:16:39.93
and he's overweight,
00:16:39.96\00:16:41.96
and he has a lot
of the same things
00:16:42.00\00:16:44.20
that all of us
had including myself.
00:16:44.23\00:16:47.84
Tell us about what can
be done with the person
00:16:47.87\00:16:52.87
who's had a heart attack,
00:16:52.91\00:16:54.58
who could susceptible perhaps
00:16:54.61\00:16:58.51
to having a second
heart attack, even more fatal
00:16:58.55\00:17:02.22
if, in fact, they don't
change their lifestyle...
00:17:02.25\00:17:05.35
Tell us a little
bit about that, doctor?
00:17:05.39\00:17:07.36
Well, Marc is in his 40s,
and he's had a heart attack.
00:17:07.39\00:17:11.69
Yeah.
00:17:11.73\00:17:13.06
And I tell the people
that they shouldn't have
00:17:13.09\00:17:15.90
heart attacks in their 40s.
00:17:15.93\00:17:17.47
No, they shouldn't.
00:17:17.50\00:17:18.93
In fact, I like this
quote, Dr. Paul Dudley White,
00:17:18.97\00:17:21.87
he's a physician.
00:17:21.90\00:17:23.24
He's quoted in Health Power,
00:17:23.27\00:17:25.84
one of Hans Diehl's books
that they use for education,
00:17:25.87\00:17:30.85
and it says that,
00:17:30.88\00:17:32.71
"Heart disease before age 80
is our fault, not God's fault."
00:17:32.75\00:17:38.85
Amen.
00:17:38.89\00:17:40.22
So Marc shouldn't
have a heart attack
00:17:40.26\00:17:41.59
in his 40s but he has.
00:17:41.62\00:17:43.59
And praise the Lord, by
making lifestyle change,
00:17:43.63\00:17:47.16
changing the way he
eats, the way he exercises,
00:17:47.20\00:17:50.10
the way he drinks water,
00:17:50.13\00:17:51.63
and basically, following
the eight laws of health
00:17:51.67\00:17:54.04
that we
recommend here at NEWSTART.
00:17:54.07\00:17:56.14
He has made a change in his body
00:17:56.17\00:17:59.27
that will help him to not
have another heart attack.
00:17:59.31\00:18:02.24
Amazing.
00:18:02.28\00:18:03.61
His lab work has
improved in just these 18 days.
00:18:03.65\00:18:07.25
Really?
00:18:07.28\00:18:08.62
You know, his
cholesterol levels,
00:18:08.65\00:18:10.45
his triglyceride
levels have all come down.
00:18:10.49\00:18:14.52
His blood sugar which
was in the borderline range
00:18:14.56\00:18:18.39
has come down as well.
00:18:18.43\00:18:20.23
So is he on medication now?
00:18:20.26\00:18:22.33
He is on medication
because he's had a heart attack.
00:18:22.36\00:18:24.63
Yes.
00:18:24.67\00:18:26.00
And so we're working
to modify his medications,
00:18:26.03\00:18:28.64
and we're doing it slowly
'cause we want to be careful.
00:18:28.67\00:18:31.91
But I see him really
making good progress,
00:18:31.94\00:18:35.74
and I really think
he's going to do well.
00:18:35.78\00:18:37.55
That's awesome.
That's so good to hear.
00:18:37.58\00:18:39.81
And I know the
viewers, some of them are new,
00:18:39.85\00:18:43.65
and a lot of our viewers aren't,
00:18:43.69\00:18:46.09
but is it common place for
us to be able to teach people
00:18:46.12\00:18:52.43
how to reverse these diseases
00:18:52.46\00:18:54.70
like diabetes and heart disease?
00:18:54.73\00:18:59.10
Sure.
00:18:59.13\00:19:00.47
I really believe that when
we follow God's plan for health,
00:19:00.50\00:19:04.51
it puts our body in
the right condition.
00:19:04.54\00:19:07.04
If our bodies are
in the right condition,
00:19:07.08\00:19:08.98
then it starts to, the
way God created our bodies,
00:19:09.01\00:19:13.15
they start to heal
and repair themselves.
00:19:13.18\00:19:15.48
So it is not
uncommon to reverse diseases
00:19:15.52\00:19:18.22
like diabetes,
00:19:18.25\00:19:20.82
like hypertension,
like heart disease.
00:19:20.86\00:19:23.76
They all are interrelated.
00:19:23.79\00:19:27.03
They're all related to something
00:19:27.06\00:19:28.40
we call metabolic syndrome.
00:19:28.43\00:19:30.97
We don't have time
to go into that today,
00:19:31.00\00:19:32.80
but I do want people to
know that metabolic syndrome
00:19:32.83\00:19:35.90
which is so
prevalent in our society today,
00:19:35.94\00:19:38.71
by the grace of God,
00:19:38.74\00:19:40.08
I believe it's
reversible through lifestyle.
00:19:40.11\00:19:42.88
Now can a viewer go
to their doctor at home
00:19:42.91\00:19:47.45
and get this kind of coaching?
00:19:47.48\00:19:50.49
They can if their doctor
knows how to do the coaching.
00:19:50.52\00:19:53.62
Well, maybe I should
reverse that question.
00:19:53.66\00:19:56.42
I already knew
that answer kind of...
00:19:56.46\00:20:00.63
You know, we have a
special group of doctors here,
00:20:00.66\00:20:04.60
and I don't want
to brag about you,
00:20:04.63\00:20:06.33
and Dr. Lukens,
00:20:06.37\00:20:07.80
and the other
doctors who've participated.
00:20:07.84\00:20:10.57
But you've all been
educated in a different manner
00:20:10.61\00:20:15.41
than to say the surgeon who can,
00:20:15.44\00:20:17.35
if you break a leg,
00:20:17.38\00:20:18.71
you better go see him
'cause he can repair it.
00:20:18.75\00:20:21.78
But when the
spirit has been broken,
00:20:21.82\00:20:25.02
and we've had heart
disease and diabetes,
00:20:25.05\00:20:28.72
then there are selective
doctors around the country
00:20:28.76\00:20:31.46
that can help,
you're one of them.
00:20:31.49\00:20:33.60
Absolutely. And the
NEWSTART Program is...
00:20:33.63\00:20:36.43
Tell us a little
bit more about that?
00:20:36.46\00:20:37.80
Well, you know,
I praise the Lord
00:20:37.83\00:20:39.73
because this is not the
type of medicine I learned
00:20:39.77\00:20:43.24
when I was in training.
00:20:43.27\00:20:45.64
This is information
that had to be learned
00:20:45.67\00:20:48.48
after I completed my training.
00:20:48.51\00:20:51.11
And I praise the Lord
00:20:51.15\00:20:52.48
that He has allowed me to
learn some of this information,
00:20:52.51\00:20:55.98
and to be able to teach others,
00:20:56.02\00:20:57.75
and share it with others
00:20:57.79\00:20:59.12
because I see it
changing lives everyday.
00:20:59.15\00:21:01.82
And that is some of
the most rewarding medicine
00:21:01.86\00:21:04.46
that you can practice.
00:21:04.49\00:21:05.86
Now did you have
to go back to school
00:21:05.89\00:21:07.73
and get a
masters in Public Health
00:21:07.76\00:21:10.00
or something like that?
00:21:10.03\00:21:11.37
I didn't do that.
00:21:11.40\00:21:12.73
You didn't do that? No.
00:21:12.77\00:21:14.10
You did it the hard knocks way.
00:21:14.14\00:21:15.47
I did it the hard knocks way.
00:21:15.50\00:21:16.84
That's exactly right. Okay.
00:21:16.87\00:21:18.21
But it's been a blessing.
00:21:18.24\00:21:19.94
And that learning is not done.
00:21:19.97\00:21:23.85
You know, there's always things
00:21:23.88\00:21:26.15
that are new and developing,
00:21:26.18\00:21:28.02
and it's good to
pay attention to that,
00:21:28.05\00:21:30.39
and to learn, you
know, what can be beneficial.
00:21:30.42\00:21:34.16
Not everything that's
out there is good for you,
00:21:34.19\00:21:36.73
even if it's touted by a doctor.
00:21:36.76\00:21:39.56
I want everybody to know that.
00:21:39.59\00:21:41.36
Especially this vegan message
00:21:41.40\00:21:43.00
where you got
the junk food vegans.
00:21:43.03\00:21:44.90
Yes, yes. Yeah.
00:21:44.93\00:21:47.07
Well, you know,
it's really encouraging
00:21:47.10\00:21:51.01
at least to hear
what you have to say,
00:21:51.04\00:21:54.48
and I know the viewers,
00:21:54.51\00:21:56.34
many of which are
hearing for the first time
00:21:56.38\00:21:58.78
that you can
reverse these diseases.
00:21:58.81\00:22:01.82
Doc, we're running out of time,
I want to thank you for coming.
00:22:01.85\00:22:05.52
I know you're a busy guy,
00:22:05.55\00:22:07.26
we're going to do
another interview,
00:22:07.29\00:22:11.13
and then you have
lectures to go to,
00:22:11.16\00:22:13.19
and graduation, and
all kinds of things today.
00:22:13.23\00:22:16.10
Thank you for having
me, Ron, and God bless.
00:22:16.13\00:22:18.77
God bless you.
Friends, don't go away.
00:22:18.80\00:22:21.44
We have an
important message for you.
00:22:21.47\00:22:23.34
Welcome to Ask the Doctor.
00:22:29.18\00:22:30.75
I'm Dr. David DeRose.
00:22:30.78\00:22:32.68
Your questions are
what we're interested in,
00:22:32.71\00:22:34.98
and giving you answers.
00:22:35.02\00:22:36.72
We're going
through Rochelle's question
00:22:36.75\00:22:39.05
from Washington State.
00:22:39.09\00:22:40.42
Here it is.
00:22:40.46\00:22:41.79
"I've been hearing a lot of talk
00:22:41.82\00:22:43.96
about the possible
health risks of soy consumption.
00:22:43.99\00:22:48.06
Is it safe to eat
tofu and other soy foods?
00:22:48.10\00:22:53.03
Great question, Rochelle.
00:22:53.07\00:22:54.40
As I speak around the country,
00:22:54.44\00:22:55.77
I'm often hearing
questions about soy,
00:22:55.80\00:22:58.21
is it safe, is it harmful,
00:22:58.24\00:23:00.04
is it something that I
can include in my diet,
00:23:00.08\00:23:02.94
and have it work for me?
00:23:02.98\00:23:04.31
Actually, if you look
00:23:04.35\00:23:05.68
at the medical
research literature,
00:23:05.71\00:23:07.32
the overwhelming consensus
in the medical community
00:23:07.35\00:23:11.32
as far as published literature
00:23:11.35\00:23:12.89
is that soy is a
generally healthful food.
00:23:12.92\00:23:16.12
Now having said that
00:23:16.16\00:23:17.49
there's always the occasional
person that has an intolerance
00:23:17.53\00:23:20.00
or frank allergy
to any kind of food
00:23:20.03\00:23:22.70
even healthy foods, and so soy
00:23:22.73\00:23:25.13
because it is so prevalent today
00:23:25.17\00:23:26.67
in the American diet
is actually something
00:23:26.70\00:23:29.10
that we do see
not unoccasionally.
00:23:29.14\00:23:32.47
In other words, we do
see a fair number of people
00:23:32.51\00:23:35.08
that come to us
with some intolerance
00:23:35.11\00:23:36.85
or some frank allergy to soy.
00:23:36.88\00:23:39.78
Many of you are
saying, what do you mean,
00:23:39.81\00:23:41.15
soy is so
prevalent in our diets?
00:23:41.18\00:23:42.85
Soy is used in so many sources,
00:23:42.88\00:23:44.82
it's used as a filler
even in meat products,
00:23:44.85\00:23:47.06
it's used in baking.
00:23:47.09\00:23:48.42
If you look at ingredients,
00:23:48.46\00:23:49.79
you're going to often find
that somewhere hidden on there,
00:23:49.82\00:23:51.89
even if you
don't see it mentioned,
00:23:51.93\00:23:53.36
maybe there's
some vegetable oil,
00:23:53.40\00:23:55.13
and it's from a soy
source, maybe there's Lecithin,
00:23:55.16\00:23:57.83
and it's from soy.
00:23:57.87\00:23:59.20
So here's simply the point.
00:23:59.23\00:24:00.57
If you have a problem
with any particular food
00:24:00.60\00:24:02.24
no matter how healthy
00:24:02.27\00:24:03.61
the medical
literature says it is,
00:24:03.64\00:24:05.41
it's something
you need to avoid it,
00:24:05.44\00:24:06.78
it's true of soy as well.
00:24:06.81\00:24:08.24
What about some of the
specific concerns about soy?
00:24:08.28\00:24:10.58
One of the things
that's been on the radar screen
00:24:10.61\00:24:12.78
for a long time is women
00:24:12.81\00:24:14.38
who've had a
history of breast cancer.
00:24:14.42\00:24:15.98
Is soy something
that they need to avoid
00:24:16.02\00:24:18.02
or is it something they can use?
00:24:18.05\00:24:19.79
The most recent
data is suggesting
00:24:19.82\00:24:21.39
that soy is safe
even in that situation.
00:24:21.42\00:24:24.49
Soy actually does
have estrogenic compounds.
00:24:24.53\00:24:27.53
I know, some of you men
now are getting very worried,
00:24:27.56\00:24:29.66
but these are
very weak estrogens.
00:24:29.70\00:24:32.13
In fact, things
that you're eating,
00:24:32.17\00:24:33.67
estrogenic compounds
00:24:33.70\00:24:35.04
that may be coming
into the animal products
00:24:35.07\00:24:36.94
that may be still in your diet
00:24:36.97\00:24:38.57
are much more estrogenic
than anything in the soy.
00:24:38.61\00:24:41.41
In fact, these
estrogenic compounds
00:24:41.44\00:24:43.88
in the soy are sometimes
even considered anti-estrogens.
00:24:43.91\00:24:47.35
Think about it this way.
00:24:47.38\00:24:48.72
Because they are a
weak estrogenic compound,
00:24:48.75\00:24:51.22
we call it a
phytoestrogen or plant estrogen.
00:24:51.25\00:24:53.96
It actually blocks the
receptors in your cells
00:24:53.99\00:24:57.76
that would be stimulated
by those stronger estrogens.
00:24:57.79\00:25:00.46
So a women during
her reproductive years,
00:25:00.50\00:25:02.96
relatively high levels
of estrogen in her blood,
00:25:03.00\00:25:05.53
those weaker soy estrogens
00:25:05.57\00:25:07.14
actually decrease the
impact of estrogen in the body,
00:25:07.17\00:25:10.31
and some of the research shows
00:25:10.34\00:25:11.67
that women who
from a really early age
00:25:11.71\00:25:13.14
have eaten lots of soy
00:25:13.17\00:25:14.51
actually have lower risks
of breast cancer as a result.
00:25:14.54\00:25:18.01
Women, as they get
into the menopausal years,
00:25:18.05\00:25:21.05
often can find benefit
00:25:21.08\00:25:22.48
in decreasing
menopausal symptoms
00:25:22.52\00:25:25.45
by incorporating more soy.
00:25:25.49\00:25:27.62
And for those of us
men, soy has been shown
00:25:27.66\00:25:30.33
in many studies to be associated
00:25:30.36\00:25:31.83
with
significantly lower cholesterols
00:25:31.86\00:25:34.73
than animal products.
00:25:34.76\00:25:36.10
Some of the early research
00:25:36.13\00:25:37.47
in the '80s looked
at skimmed milk protein
00:25:37.50\00:25:39.63
compared it with soy protein,
00:25:39.67\00:25:41.24
and found that if your diet
00:25:41.27\00:25:42.60
is based around milk products,
00:25:42.64\00:25:45.01
you're going to have a
much higher cholesterol level
00:25:45.04\00:25:47.88
than if you're including
soy as the primary foundation
00:25:47.91\00:25:51.81
for your protein source.
00:25:51.85\00:25:53.38
So soy has a lot going for it
00:25:53.42\00:25:55.38
unless you're allergic to it.
00:25:55.42\00:25:56.95
Soy is generally a good food,
00:25:56.99\00:25:58.62
and that's the
answer to your question
00:25:58.65\00:26:00.72
on today's
edition of Ask the Doctor.
