Every year in America,
00:00:10.94\00:00:12.27
there are over
one million deaths
00:00:12.31\00:00:13.64
because of type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:13.68\00:00:16.61
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:00:16.64\00:00:18.85
That's six and half
747s crashing everyday.
00:00:18.88\00:00:22.32
What's even more surprising
is that the fix is easy,
00:00:22.35\00:00:25.85
it's your lifestyle.
00:00:25.89\00:00:27.29
Wouldn't it be nice
00:00:27.32\00:00:28.66
if you could
actually add quality years
00:00:28.69\00:00:30.23
to your life rather then
dying one organ at a time.
00:00:30.26\00:00:33.70
Obesity and diabetes are the
00:00:33.73\00:00:35.06
cause of over a
million deaths per year.
00:00:35.10\00:00:37.83
Most diseases are reversible
00:00:37.87\00:00:39.77
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:00:39.80\00:00:42.80
especially type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:42.84\00:00:46.17
Seriously now,
they can be reversed
00:00:46.21\00:00:48.44
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.

00:01:06.09\00:01:10.77
Hi, friends, and
welcome to another edition
00:01:10.80\00:01:13.17
of NEWSTART Now.
00:01:13.20\00:01:14.60
I'm your host, Ron Giannoni.
00:01:14.64\00:01:17.34
In our studio
with me is a young man
00:01:17.37\00:01:20.08
from Grass Valley,
00:01:20.11\00:01:21.58
Harry Salvini.
00:01:21.61\00:01:24.41
Now I want you to take a look
at when Harry first arrived.
00:01:24.45\00:01:29.42
I'm here because
00:01:29.45\00:01:30.89
I've gone through
00:01:30.92\00:01:34.69
numerous,
00:01:34.72\00:01:37.89
numerous
attempts to lose weight.
00:01:37.93\00:01:41.96
I've sabotaged
everything Kathy's tried to do.
00:01:42.00\00:01:44.17
So I've tried all
the different programs,
00:01:48.67\00:01:51.27
different plans falling
off the wagon every time,
00:01:51.31\00:01:54.71
NEWSTART has
given me the opportunity
00:01:54.74\00:01:56.38
to give me a series of days
00:01:56.41\00:01:59.95
in which I've got
not just class work
00:01:59.98\00:02:02.82
but there's also the diet,
00:02:02.85\00:02:04.75
how to prepare the foods
00:02:04.79\00:02:06.69
and it gives me the opportunity
to get into a habit situation.
00:02:06.72\00:02:10.16
So I am currently on
Losartan and Carvedilol
00:02:10.19\00:02:16.43
and there's another medication
for restless leg syndrome.
00:02:16.46\00:02:20.30
I tend to take lots of
Tylenol or Aleve for back pain.
00:02:20.34\00:02:24.97
And it's...
00:02:25.01\00:02:26.88
I would like to
stop doing all of that.
00:02:26.91\00:02:30.55
I use an inhaler a lot
and every once in a while,
00:02:30.58\00:02:33.85
I have to take Prednisone
00:02:33.88\00:02:35.28
and I'd prefer
not to be doing that.
00:02:35.32\00:02:39.75
My goal is to
get rid of the weight
00:02:39.79\00:02:43.49
that I'm carrying around,
00:02:43.53\00:02:44.86
it feels like an old
box of paper everywhere I go
00:02:44.89\00:02:47.30
and that equalizes
with the pain in the back
00:02:47.33\00:02:50.83
and my stamina isn't there.
00:02:50.87\00:02:54.27
Recently did a wedding up here
00:02:54.30\00:02:57.24
and I had a lot
of trouble carrying
00:02:57.27\00:02:59.21
the equipment to the reception.
00:02:59.24\00:03:02.38
So my plan is, my
goal after this is done.
00:03:02.41\00:03:06.11
My goal is to be
off of my medications
00:03:06.15\00:03:09.58
and also to have not
only started losing weight
00:03:09.62\00:03:13.02
but have it so
ingrained in me that
00:03:13.05\00:03:16.29
I want to
continue what I'm doing,
00:03:16.32\00:03:20.46
support my wife as she's trying
to help me with better food,
00:03:20.50\00:03:24.63
better diet and be
able to just push through,
00:03:24.67\00:03:28.60
become what I used
to be and in doing so,
00:03:28.64\00:03:32.11
be a better example for my kids
00:03:32.14\00:03:33.78
and friends and loved ones
00:03:33.81\00:03:36.51
that are also going
on the same path I went.
00:03:36.54\00:03:40.12
That's my goal.
00:03:40.15\00:03:41.48
Welcome back,
friends, in our studio.
00:03:44.32\00:03:46.45
Harry Salvini, how are you?
00:03:46.49\00:03:48.22
Doing good. You look good.
00:03:48.26\00:03:49.59
Thank you.
00:03:49.62\00:03:50.96
You look happy.
Thank you, so do you.
00:03:50.99\00:03:52.69
And I'm happy. Yes.
00:03:52.73\00:03:54.76
I'm happy 'cause you're happy.
00:03:54.80\00:03:57.03
But, you know,
Harry, I didn't know...
00:03:57.07\00:03:59.73
I've known you
almost 11 years now,
00:03:59.77\00:04:03.30
that you're a huge figure,
00:04:03.34\00:04:06.51
maybe, that's the wrong term.
00:04:06.54\00:04:08.98
You're very well
known in our church.
00:04:09.01\00:04:10.65
Yes.
00:04:10.68\00:04:12.01
And...
00:04:12.05\00:04:13.38
Huge figure works.
00:04:13.42\00:04:15.38
It fits but not soon.
00:04:15.42\00:04:17.85
Not much longer
00:04:17.89\00:04:19.75
I didn't know you
were on medications.
00:04:19.79\00:04:21.26
Yes.
00:04:21.29\00:04:22.62
I suspected that if
you didn't do something
00:04:22.66\00:04:25.79
you might soon be on medications
00:04:25.83\00:04:28.53
but you told me before
we started the interview,
00:04:28.56\00:04:32.03
you're off your medications.
00:04:32.07\00:04:33.40
Yes, I am.
00:04:33.44\00:04:34.77
Which were they?
00:04:34.80\00:04:36.14
I was on Losartan and Carvedilol
00:04:36.17\00:04:38.07
and they're both...
00:04:38.11\00:04:39.84
They lower your
heart, your blood pressure.
00:04:39.87\00:04:42.31
Okay.
00:04:42.34\00:04:43.68
They don't do anything for you
00:04:43.71\00:04:45.05
but they lower
your blood pressure.
00:04:45.08\00:04:46.41
They'll help but
they'll lower the pressure,
00:04:46.45\00:04:48.32
don't you find that kind of odd?
00:04:48.35\00:04:50.09
That kind of got me upset.
00:04:50.12\00:04:52.32
Yeah, when I found that out,
00:04:52.35\00:04:54.22
that they lowered the numbers
but really didn't do anything.
00:04:54.26\00:04:57.29
Wasn't healing, wasn't helping.
00:04:57.33\00:04:59.03
No.
00:04:59.06\00:05:00.46
So now you're off
the blood pressure meds
00:05:00.50\00:05:03.83
and your blood
pressure's way lower than
00:05:03.87\00:05:06.47
even when you're on
the blood pressure meds.
00:05:06.50\00:05:08.30
That's correct.
00:05:08.34\00:05:10.61
What is it
lately? What is your...
00:05:10.64\00:05:12.54
Right now, it's
averaging 193, I'm sorry,
00:05:12.57\00:05:15.28
139 over 89 I
think was the last one.
00:05:15.31\00:05:18.78
Wow.
00:05:18.81\00:05:20.15
And that was after
doing the treadmill.
00:05:20.18\00:05:21.52
Wow, that's good. Yeah.
00:05:21.55\00:05:24.95
Yeah, you know,
00:05:24.99\00:05:26.32
you're gonna a reach
a point where like me,
00:05:26.35\00:05:29.22
when I hit 105
over 60, now when,
00:05:29.26\00:05:32.93
wait a minute,
something's wrong,
00:05:32.96\00:05:34.30
'cause I used to
be like 200 over 100,
00:05:34.33\00:05:37.20
really bad, you know.
00:05:37.23\00:05:39.97
So but you also
lost some weight.
00:05:40.00\00:05:43.34
I did.
00:05:43.37\00:05:44.71
And how many
weights did you lose?
00:05:44.74\00:05:46.11
I lost 22 pounds.
00:05:46.14\00:05:47.68
And how many inches?
00:05:47.71\00:05:49.58
They haven't
measured me yet but I do know,
00:05:49.61\00:05:51.55
I've had the
experiences with that.
00:05:51.58\00:05:53.45
Oh,
00:05:53.48\00:05:56.42
tell us that experience.
00:05:56.45\00:05:58.09
Come on, you're only gonna...
00:05:58.12\00:05:59.99
People all over the
world will love to hear that.
00:06:00.02\00:06:01.92
So my belt was
already in bad shape,
00:06:01.96\00:06:04.86
it was kind of
fractured a little bit there
00:06:04.89\00:06:08.33
and I came back
from class last Friday,
00:06:08.36\00:06:11.30
as I'm coming up to
the door, the belt broke
00:06:11.33\00:06:13.50
and the pants that have
always been really tight,
00:06:13.54\00:06:16.44
dropped to the floor.
00:06:16.47\00:06:19.11
So I looked both directions,
00:06:19.14\00:06:20.48
nobody happened
to be in the hallway,
00:06:20.51\00:06:21.84
so I just ran right in the room,
00:06:21.88\00:06:23.91
so on one hand,
00:06:23.95\00:06:25.28
I was really
mortified that it happened,
00:06:25.31\00:06:26.88
on the other hand, I was excited
00:06:26.92\00:06:28.68
because these
jeans just slipped past,
00:06:28.72\00:06:32.32
they had just fall.
00:06:32.35\00:06:33.69
And they were
skin tight? They were.
00:06:33.72\00:06:36.19
I had to suck it in...
00:06:36.22\00:06:37.56
Wow.
00:06:37.59\00:06:38.93
To button them up and so, yeah.
00:06:38.96\00:06:40.80
So, Harry, tell me
00:06:40.83\00:06:42.80
what was your
favorite part of this
00:06:42.83\00:06:46.17
last 17 days or 18?
00:06:46.20\00:06:49.84
It was partially the
classes, I learned a lot,
00:06:49.87\00:06:53.58
I've been blogging
every day on Facebook so that,
00:06:53.61\00:06:57.05
my friends, you
know, and enemies,
00:06:57.08\00:06:59.11
I guess, everybody
has chance to read in
00:06:59.15\00:07:01.45
and it's actually
affected a couple of people
00:07:01.48\00:07:03.65
that are pre-diabetic,
I found out last night.
00:07:03.69\00:07:05.55
Really.
00:07:05.59\00:07:06.92
People I know or...
00:07:06.96\00:07:08.29
No, no, some former
friends, the former coworkers.
00:07:08.32\00:07:10.59
Okay.
00:07:10.63\00:07:12.29
That was a big part
but I got to be honest,
00:07:12.33\00:07:14.76
Chef Michel,
00:07:14.80\00:07:16.30
the cooking
class has been amazing.
00:07:16.33\00:07:18.00
I've never thought that
I would enjoy vegan food
00:07:18.03\00:07:22.50
as much as I am.
00:07:22.54\00:07:24.31
She herself prepare it.
00:07:24.34\00:07:26.27
She is...
00:07:26.31\00:07:27.64
I've never had met a
chef that prays for you
00:07:27.68\00:07:29.71
and then
dedicates the food to God
00:07:29.74\00:07:32.48
and then
teaches us how to do it,
00:07:32.51\00:07:33.85
the way that's
just incredibly good.
00:07:33.88\00:07:35.75
Isn't that amazing? Yeah.
00:07:35.78\00:07:37.32
Hey, how is your...
00:07:37.35\00:07:38.69
You went somewhere
for Sabbath lunch...
00:07:38.72\00:07:41.36
I did.
00:07:41.39\00:07:42.72
Last week. I did.
00:07:42.76\00:07:44.09
How was that? It was fantastic.
00:07:44.13\00:07:45.53
We had a really great soy
curl with the barbecue sauce
00:07:45.56\00:07:50.40
type mix infused in it
that was very delicious.
00:07:50.43\00:07:54.07
I'll get you the recipe.
00:07:54.10\00:07:55.44
Yeah, that'll be good.
00:07:55.47\00:07:56.81
I'd like to try that,
00:07:56.84\00:07:58.31
since my wife made it.
00:07:58.34\00:07:59.81
Yes, your wife made
it as a matter of fact.
00:07:59.84\00:08:01.54
Yes, but you had that
over basmati brown rice?
00:08:01.58\00:08:04.35
Basmati brown rice.
00:08:04.38\00:08:05.71
And corn? Yes.
00:08:05.75\00:08:07.72
And what else?
00:08:07.75\00:08:09.15
Had an incredible asparagus
and string bean combination,
00:08:09.18\00:08:12.59
I mixed them,
00:08:12.62\00:08:13.96
I didn't realize it
was two different things
00:08:13.99\00:08:15.32
but they were
absolutely delicious.
00:08:15.36\00:08:17.63
Really?
00:08:17.66\00:08:18.99
And then Susan
bring a salad or...
00:08:19.03\00:08:20.80
Susan brought a delicious salad.
00:08:20.83\00:08:22.70
Absolutely delicious.
00:08:22.73\00:08:24.37
And I remember asking
about making sure that
00:08:24.40\00:08:27.14
the salad dressing was okay.
00:08:27.17\00:08:28.87
Yeah, you were
questioning me a lot.
00:08:28.90\00:08:31.61
I was questioning everything
that was on the table.
00:08:31.64\00:08:33.24
You know, I was so happy
to hear you questioning me
00:08:33.27\00:08:36.21
because I knew
then that you baited,
00:08:36.24\00:08:38.91
that you really
turned the corner.
00:08:38.95\00:08:40.32
Yeah.
00:08:40.35\00:08:41.68
Because you
couldn't ask those questions
00:08:41.72\00:08:43.49
if you weren't paying attention.
00:08:43.52\00:08:44.85
I would have asked you
for the other salad dressing.
00:08:44.89\00:08:46.65
You would have.
00:08:46.69\00:08:48.02
From your neighbor.
00:08:48.06\00:08:49.39
Oh, yeah, there's no fat
salad dressing in our house.
00:08:49.42\00:08:52.19
It's right.
00:08:52.23\00:08:53.56
And then the dessert.
00:08:53.60\00:08:54.93
Oh, tell us about that.
00:08:54.96\00:08:56.36
That was a strawberry,
00:08:56.40\00:08:57.73
was it strawberry and blueberry
00:08:57.77\00:08:59.13
and then we put
sliced banana on it...
00:08:59.17\00:09:00.50
Yes.
00:09:00.54\00:09:01.87
And these coconut flakes? Yes.
00:09:01.90\00:09:03.87
Well, we have a champion juicer
00:09:03.91\00:09:06.37
and we froze the bananas
00:09:06.41\00:09:09.01
and strawberries and blueberries
00:09:09.04\00:09:11.31
and we put them
through the champion juicer
00:09:11.35\00:09:14.42
and it comes out, ice cream.
00:09:14.45\00:09:15.78
Yes. It was...
00:09:15.82\00:09:17.15
It was very
delicious and no sugar added.
00:09:17.19\00:09:19.89
And no sugar and it
was absolutely done, yeah.
00:09:19.92\00:09:22.42
And no dairy.
00:09:22.46\00:09:23.79
No dairy, no
dairy, that's right.
00:09:23.83\00:09:26.23
So what about
when you get home now?
00:09:26.26\00:09:30.10
Well, Sabbath morning,
00:09:30.13\00:09:32.03
Kathy came up with
the really cute thing
00:09:32.07\00:09:34.10
as I was coming out of the room,
00:09:34.14\00:09:35.47
she had a...
00:09:35.50\00:09:36.84
We have a rooster that
has a black board belly.
00:09:36.87\00:09:39.84
It's like a ceramic
rooster and she'd written down,
00:09:39.87\00:09:42.54
"You have a choice of oatmeal,
you have corn meal, granola,
00:09:42.58\00:09:46.75
half a slice of this
and a half of an orange
00:09:46.78\00:09:49.32
and then Weimar bread."
00:09:49.35\00:09:50.99
And then in behind that,
she had little mason jars
00:09:51.02\00:09:54.06
and each mason
jar had one serving
00:09:54.09\00:09:56.19
so I could pick, you know,
00:09:56.22\00:09:57.56
in so many to
make sure you don't,
00:09:57.59\00:09:58.93
is that the fact that
I'm supposed to have it,
00:09:58.96\00:10:02.06
can't have more
than two of these.
00:10:02.10\00:10:04.70
So she's on board
with this whole thing
00:10:04.73\00:10:06.07
and I think
that's the biggest thing.
00:10:06.10\00:10:07.60
Is it?
00:10:07.64\00:10:08.97
I think having...
00:10:09.00\00:10:10.34
If there's two
adults in the house,
00:10:10.37\00:10:12.37
if those two
adults are together on it,
00:10:12.41\00:10:15.41
I'm incredibly
blessed with that.
00:10:15.44\00:10:17.98
You know, we
know for a fact that
00:10:18.01\00:10:22.25
when the spouse of the guest,
00:10:22.28\00:10:26.32
as we call you,
00:10:26.35\00:10:29.52
comes and assist,
00:10:29.56\00:10:32.03
things work better.
00:10:32.06\00:10:33.40
Yes.
00:10:33.43\00:10:34.76
Now I could imagine
going home and telling my wife
00:10:34.80\00:10:38.87
what I learned here in 18 days,
00:10:38.90\00:10:41.10
how could you do that?
00:10:41.14\00:10:42.47
It won't work.
00:10:42.50\00:10:43.84
It just won't work. No.
00:10:43.87\00:10:45.21
I barely remember
myself and now after 11 years,
00:10:45.24\00:10:49.11
I've attended these lectures
over and over and over again
00:10:49.14\00:10:52.38
and I can almost
memorize them but even so,
00:10:52.41\00:10:56.15
it's still difficult.
00:10:56.18\00:10:58.39
So but you're
blessed, Kathy came with you.
00:10:58.42\00:11:01.79
Kathy was able to come.
00:11:01.82\00:11:03.16
And, friends, let
me just say right now,
00:11:03.19\00:11:05.89
if you plan to come
to the NEWSTART program,
00:11:05.93\00:11:09.06
it would be in
your best interest
00:11:09.10\00:11:11.93
to bring your significant other
00:11:11.97\00:11:14.67
or a father or a son
or whatever, you know,
00:11:14.70\00:11:18.01
someone who lives with
you that can participate
00:11:18.04\00:11:21.98
and you kinda help one
another along, you know.
00:11:22.01\00:11:24.65
That's right.
00:11:24.68\00:11:26.01
Okay, now, I know
00:11:26.05\00:11:27.38
when you went
around the half mile loop.
00:11:27.42\00:11:29.52
You had the rest.
00:11:29.55\00:11:31.02
The first times?
00:11:31.05\00:11:32.39
The first day.
00:11:32.42\00:11:33.76
I couldn't do the...
00:11:33.79\00:11:35.12
Couldn't come up the
hills without stopping.
00:11:35.16\00:11:36.49
How many times did
you have to stop and rest?
00:11:36.52\00:11:39.03
It was at least two times.
00:11:39.06\00:11:40.40
The first I walked around,
00:11:40.43\00:11:42.03
I had to stop twice for a
significant amount of time.
00:11:42.06\00:11:44.80
Okay.
00:11:44.83\00:11:46.17
Now how many miles
a day are you walking?
00:11:46.20\00:11:50.04
Between seven and ten.
00:11:50.07\00:11:51.77
Seven and ten.
00:11:51.81\00:11:53.14
Would you ever have believed
00:11:53.17\00:11:54.81
if I would have
told you 18 days ago,
00:11:54.84\00:11:57.91
"Harry, you're gonna be
walking seven to ten miles."
00:11:57.95\00:12:01.25
You would have
said, "Oh, no. No way."
00:12:01.28\00:12:03.75
Right? Not a chance.
00:12:03.79\00:12:05.12
Yeah.
00:12:05.15\00:12:06.49
Why would you
have believed that?
00:12:06.52\00:12:07.86
Because I couldn't.
00:12:07.89\00:12:09.22
You couldn't,
right, and now you can?
00:12:09.26\00:12:10.86
And now I can. Yeah.
00:12:10.89\00:12:12.83
I would get winded just
going upstairs in our house
00:12:12.86\00:12:14.66
to my office.
00:12:14.70\00:12:16.03
So I understand
that you've got messages
00:12:16.06\00:12:18.13
from our church family...
00:12:18.17\00:12:19.50
Yes.
00:12:19.53\00:12:20.87
That said, "Oh, no.
00:12:20.90\00:12:22.24
Not another run..."
00:12:22.27\00:12:23.61
Run, Giannoni Jr.
00:12:23.64\00:12:25.77
Now we're gonna
get them in stereo.
00:12:25.81\00:12:28.18
Yeah.
00:12:28.21\00:12:29.54
We're gonna have to
convert the entire church.
00:12:29.58\00:12:31.98
The difference is we
didn't know you that well
00:12:32.01\00:12:34.32
when you came to Grass Valley.
00:12:34.35\00:12:35.68
Everybody's known
me for a long time,
00:12:35.72\00:12:37.85
growing and bigger and bigger
and more and more unhealthy.
00:12:37.89\00:12:40.92
You're gonna be a huge impact.
00:12:40.96\00:12:43.46
I'll be able to
kneel on the platform.
00:12:43.49\00:12:47.10
We'll have a worship later.
00:12:47.13\00:12:49.50
I'm so happy for you, brother.
00:12:49.53\00:12:51.80
I love you so much.
00:12:51.83\00:12:53.17
That's why if you've noticed
the men's group, we stand.
00:12:53.20\00:12:55.07
I know.
00:12:55.10\00:12:56.44
We never kneel 'cause I
can't get back up or I couldn't.
00:12:56.47\00:12:59.24
I know, I know.
00:12:59.27\00:13:00.88
Yeah.
00:13:00.91\00:13:02.24
I want to thank you
for taking your, you know,
00:13:02.28\00:13:04.51
for having a goal
to come and speak here
00:13:04.55\00:13:07.52
in front of millions
of people potentially
00:13:07.55\00:13:11.19
and I want to thank you
00:13:11.22\00:13:13.15
and God bless you and...
00:13:13.19\00:13:14.52
I gotta thank you.
And I'll see you tonight.
00:13:14.56\00:13:16.26
Yes. Okay, at our graduation.
00:13:16.29\00:13:17.63
Yes.
00:13:17.66\00:13:18.99
Friends, thank you,
00:13:19.03\00:13:20.36
but don't go away
00:13:20.40\00:13:21.73
because the doctor's
gonna be right with us.
00:13:21.76\00:13:23.73
Welcome back, friends,
00:13:56.90\00:13:58.23
and in our
studio, Doctor Lukens.
00:13:58.27\00:13:59.77
This is the neat way Oh, yeah.
00:13:59.80\00:14:02.00
Wow, we're doing
that 'cause my arm...
00:14:02.04\00:14:04.47
My shoulders, still hurt me.
00:14:04.51\00:14:05.84
Yeah. Yeah.
00:14:05.87\00:14:07.21
After a couple of months.
00:14:07.24\00:14:08.58
Yeah, but those
things take a while.
00:14:08.61\00:14:09.94
And you wanted to go play golf?
00:14:09.98\00:14:11.31
Oh, okay, we'll do then.
00:14:11.35\00:14:13.21
Next week. Next week, sure.
00:14:13.25\00:14:14.92
Yeah.
00:14:14.95\00:14:16.28
I'm really
excited about Harry and...
00:14:16.32\00:14:18.52
He's a crazy fun guy.
00:14:18.55\00:14:20.52
He's a crazy a fun guy,
he's a brother and, you know,
00:14:20.56\00:14:24.63
Harry and I go to
the same church...
00:14:24.66\00:14:27.23
Mm-hm.
00:14:27.26\00:14:28.60
And, you know, a lot of people
were concerned about Harry.
00:14:28.63\00:14:33.03
And right, they should be.
00:14:33.07\00:14:34.44
Right, they should be.
00:14:34.47\00:14:36.40
You know, Harry is a big guy.
00:14:36.44\00:14:38.31
Too big.
00:14:38.34\00:14:39.67
Too big and, of course,
00:14:39.71\00:14:41.94
our biggest concern was
that he might have an advent,
00:14:41.98\00:14:47.25
and as a doctor I'm sure you...
00:14:47.28\00:14:50.35
When I got him on a treadmill,
I thought he was having...
00:14:50.39\00:14:53.46
You said he wanted to
saw stars or something
00:14:53.49\00:14:55.42
Yeah, yeah, well, that's
an extreme exercise, yeah.
00:14:55.46\00:14:59.09
And that's just kind
of prior to a blackout.
00:14:59.13\00:15:02.23
Yeah, yeah, yeah, if he
had to keep going, yeah,
00:15:02.26\00:15:06.70
something would have happened.
00:15:06.74\00:15:08.07
What he told me about
the limit the other day,
00:15:08.10\00:15:10.64
he improved quite a bit.
00:15:10.67\00:15:12.07
Oh, yeah, and, yeah,
he was, you know, before,
00:15:12.11\00:15:16.54
he looked like he
was ready to drop,
00:15:16.58\00:15:19.18
and on this time,
00:15:19.21\00:15:20.55
I wasn't even sure that
he couldn't have gone longer.
00:15:20.58\00:15:22.78
Well, you know,
00:15:22.82\00:15:24.15
he's walking like
seven, eight miles in a day
00:15:24.19\00:15:27.29
and when he got here,
00:15:27.32\00:15:28.69
he could not do
the half mile loop,
00:15:28.72\00:15:31.63
just as I couldn't
00:15:31.66\00:15:33.36
and he had to rest
two or three times.
00:15:33.40\00:15:35.66
He told me there was
somebody, this morning,
00:15:35.70\00:15:38.53
he was going with somebody
00:15:38.57\00:15:39.90
in the other
program and he said,
00:15:39.93\00:15:41.94
the person had to stop
and they were, you know.
00:15:41.97\00:15:46.17
And so he said, "You
know, 12 days ago..."
00:15:46.21\00:15:50.25
Or 16 days ago
now I guess it is...
00:15:50.28\00:15:52.88
Yeah.
00:15:52.91\00:15:54.25
He said, "I was just like you."
00:15:54.28\00:15:55.62
And it really encouraged
the other person, you know,
00:15:55.65\00:15:56.99
because...
00:15:57.02\00:15:58.35
I know the guy
he's talking about,
00:15:58.39\00:15:59.72
I think it was a guy.
00:15:59.75\00:16:01.09
Yeah.
00:16:01.12\00:16:02.46
I interviewed with yesterday.
00:16:02.49\00:16:03.83
he came and visited me,
00:16:03.86\00:16:05.19
he might be coming to
our next NEWSTART program.
00:16:05.23\00:16:06.56
That's good.
00:16:06.59\00:16:07.93
So, doc, what's
the prognosis here?
00:16:07.96\00:16:11.40
I mean, I know
Harry is getting better
00:16:11.43\00:16:15.00
and I really want to
encourage the viewers
00:16:15.04\00:16:18.21
because there's
many people out there,
00:16:18.24\00:16:20.18
there's many Harrys
that are morbidly obese,
00:16:20.21\00:16:23.91
they're sitting
around not knowing
00:16:23.95\00:16:26.72
that there's
something they could do
00:16:26.75\00:16:28.58
about their weight,
00:16:28.62\00:16:29.95
about their blood pressure,
their diabetes, their...
00:16:29.98\00:16:32.42
Tell us a little bit.
00:16:32.45\00:16:33.89
Well, you know,
in his situation,
00:16:33.92\00:16:35.82
his is
different than most people
00:16:35.86\00:16:38.99
because he's
Armenian and I guess,
00:16:39.03\00:16:43.16
Austrian or something background
00:16:43.20\00:16:45.37
and the Austrian part
doesn't help but evidently,
00:16:45.40\00:16:47.27
the Armenian does or
since his family background
00:16:47.30\00:16:51.24
because his
cholesterol triglycerides
00:16:51.27\00:16:54.18
and his lipids are always good.
00:16:54.21\00:16:55.78
Really?
00:16:55.81\00:16:57.15
I mean, they're good, yeah.
00:16:57.18\00:16:58.51
And most people
they have that, you know,
00:16:58.55\00:17:00.82
as the incentive or the
pointed stick to, you know,
00:17:00.85\00:17:04.39
you've gotta do this or that
00:17:04.42\00:17:06.52
but the thing is that he knows
00:17:06.55\00:17:08.42
from his past experience that
00:17:08.46\00:17:12.79
he's really, really on the cusp
00:17:12.83\00:17:16.23
and that's the
reason why the whole church
00:17:16.26\00:17:19.00
was really interested in him.
00:17:19.03\00:17:21.24
Now the thing is,
00:17:21.27\00:17:23.30
he has a son and this
is really a good deal,
00:17:23.34\00:17:28.01
he has one son
that's closer to home
00:17:28.04\00:17:31.98
and he's gonna do some of this
00:17:32.01\00:17:35.25
and he's not gonna
jump into it, you know...
00:17:35.28\00:17:37.52
Right.
00:17:37.55\00:17:38.89
But he had helped him
along but the other son,
00:17:38.92\00:17:41.36
he told me what he
weighed and he says,
00:17:41.39\00:17:43.99
as his weight is coming down
00:17:44.03\00:17:45.79
and his other
son's weight is going up
00:17:45.83\00:17:48.90
because he's a big, big guy too.
00:17:48.93\00:17:51.37
He said, "When he
starts getting below his son,
00:17:51.40\00:17:53.47
his son's gonna
be very interested."
00:17:53.50\00:17:55.20
Very.
00:17:55.24\00:17:56.57
"He's gonna..."
00:17:56.60\00:17:57.94
But, you know, the thing is
00:17:57.97\00:17:59.31
when I told the people
that on the review that we did,
00:17:59.34\00:18:02.91
people are more
interested in their weight,
00:18:02.94\00:18:06.11
in their looks than
they are in their health.
00:18:06.15\00:18:08.62
Isn't that amazing?
00:18:08.65\00:18:09.98
Well, no, it's
just the way it is.
00:18:10.02\00:18:11.35
Well, it is what it is.
00:18:11.39\00:18:12.79
I mean, I'm
concerned of my weight
00:18:12.82\00:18:14.46
and the way I
look and so on so forth
00:18:14.49\00:18:16.96
but my motivation
was, I was afraid.
00:18:16.99\00:18:20.60
I was afraid I was gonna die.
00:18:20.63\00:18:21.96
Yes, that you knew.
00:18:22.00\00:18:23.33
Well, I didn't know.
00:18:23.37\00:18:24.77
Your symptoms and your stuff
00:18:24.80\00:18:26.37
were enough to get you on board.
00:18:26.40\00:18:28.57
Yes, yes.
00:18:28.60\00:18:30.11
But some people there,
they never gets to that place.
00:18:30.14\00:18:34.21
I don't want to discourage
any people who're overweight,
00:18:34.24\00:18:37.65
that would strictly like
to come here to lose weight.
00:18:37.68\00:18:40.65
We can do that.
00:18:40.68\00:18:42.78
I don't want to
discourage anyone else
00:18:42.82\00:18:44.62
for any other reason
00:18:44.65\00:18:45.99
because it's my
belief and you can correct me
00:18:46.02\00:18:48.92
if I'm wrong that most diseases
00:18:48.96\00:18:51.63
come from the lifestyle we live.
00:18:51.66\00:18:54.06
How I dare correct
you, you're older than I.
00:18:54.10\00:18:56.20
I mean, the Bible says,
00:18:56.23\00:18:57.93
"Rebuke not an
elder" No, no, no, look...
00:18:57.97\00:19:00.97
Well, you got a
good point there.
00:19:01.00\00:19:02.44
The reason why
he's gonna do good
00:19:02.47\00:19:04.67
because there's so many
people writing on him, you know.
00:19:04.71\00:19:08.58
Then somebody said,
00:19:08.61\00:19:10.01
"Oh, you're not gonna be another
00:19:10.05\00:19:11.38
Giannoni walking around here,
00:19:11.41\00:19:13.45
telling us all how
to live, you know."
00:19:13.48\00:19:15.62
Oh, man, you know what?
00:19:15.65\00:19:17.85
I'm so... They need it.
00:19:17.89\00:19:19.25
I know... They do...
00:19:19.29\00:19:20.62
They need a stereo.
00:19:20.66\00:19:21.99
They do and I could just...
00:19:22.02\00:19:23.36
I envision, I had a
dream the other night
00:19:23.39\00:19:24.96
that Harry and I were
up on the pulpit preaching,
00:19:24.99\00:19:28.56
Little knock there you guys.
00:19:28.60\00:19:30.27
You, NEWSTART.
00:19:30.30\00:19:31.93
You, NEWSTART."
00:19:31.97\00:19:33.30
And just picking
them out, you know.
00:19:33.34\00:19:34.87
But, you know, the
saddest thing is that
00:19:34.90\00:19:38.11
people sometimes
have to have an event.
00:19:38.14\00:19:40.61
Yeah.
00:19:40.64\00:19:41.98
And they never,
you know, fortunately,
00:19:42.01\00:19:44.98
a lot of the people in
a year or so, you know,
00:19:45.01\00:19:47.98
they're able to walk
again but they're, you know,
00:19:48.02\00:19:49.98
they're like this,
00:19:50.02\00:19:51.45
their heart is
such that they say,
00:19:51.49\00:19:53.36
"Well, you know,
you're in trouble
00:19:53.39\00:19:56.22
and you'll be a
cardiac cripple."
00:19:56.26\00:19:58.26
But the thing is
we've had people here,
00:19:58.29\00:20:00.10
they're cardiac cripples
00:20:00.13\00:20:05.30
and two sessions ago
and three sessions ago,
00:20:05.33\00:20:07.47
these people were told
00:20:07.50\00:20:08.84
they would never be
able to be healthy again
00:20:08.87\00:20:12.04
and they're on their way.
00:20:12.07\00:20:14.31
I love it, I love it.
00:20:14.34\00:20:15.68
Yeah.
00:20:15.71\00:20:17.05
Tell the viewers
what an event is,
00:20:17.08\00:20:19.05
some people just
don't know what an event...
00:20:19.08\00:20:21.05
Yeah, well, it can be either
a stroke or a heart attack.
00:20:21.08\00:20:23.95
And how many people die
with the first heart attack?
00:20:23.99\00:20:28.69
Well, the trouble
is, is that people say,
00:20:28.72\00:20:31.56
"Well, I've never had any pain
00:20:31.59\00:20:33.19
and I don't think
it's in the family."
00:20:33.23\00:20:35.36
And so they'll say,
"I haven't had that.
00:20:35.40\00:20:38.17
What do you call it?
00:20:38.20\00:20:39.53
Angina, angina, what do
you call that chest pain thing?
00:20:39.57\00:20:41.44
Okay."
00:20:41.47\00:20:42.80
Good, well, just to
make you feel better,
00:20:42.84\00:20:45.81
more than 40% of the time,
00:20:45.84\00:20:48.18
the first symptom you have
00:20:48.21\00:20:49.54
that you've got a
problem is sudden death.
00:20:49.58\00:20:52.55
And you don't know,
and just you're out.
00:20:52.58\00:20:54.32
Yeah, yeah, you're just gone.
00:20:54.35\00:20:55.68
And the stroke,
what about stroke?
00:20:55.72\00:20:57.92
Well, people can frequently
have more warning on those,
00:20:57.95\00:21:03.76
we call it a
transient ischemic attack,
00:21:03.79\00:21:05.99
they try to reach for a pen
00:21:06.03\00:21:07.96
or their vision is
gone for a little bit
00:21:08.00\00:21:10.93
or they can't...
00:21:10.97\00:21:13.13
They can't formulate their words
00:21:13.17\00:21:15.17
and that usually goes
away in about 20 minutes
00:21:15.20\00:21:17.51
to half hour and they say,
00:21:17.54\00:21:19.14
"Oh, man, I'm
so glad that's gone
00:21:19.17\00:21:21.18
and I hope it
never happens again."
00:21:21.21\00:21:23.31
That's a
precursor to a mini stroke
00:21:23.35\00:21:25.48
and then a mini stroke is
a precursor to a larger one.
00:21:25.51\00:21:29.38
But I've heard in
your lectures or maybe,
00:21:29.42\00:21:31.42
it was Doctor... Somebody.
00:21:31.45\00:21:33.66
One of the doctors,
00:21:33.69\00:21:35.02
that most people have
many strokes frequently,
00:21:35.06\00:21:40.13
maybe, hundreds
even in a life time.
00:21:40.16\00:21:42.73
Is that something?
00:21:42.76\00:21:44.10
Oh, it's in areas that
isn't part of their function,
00:21:44.13\00:21:48.74
you see, so they'll, yeah,
they'll look at the X rays now,
00:21:48.77\00:21:52.54
say there's a
little white stuff here
00:21:52.57\00:21:53.91
and you probably had a little
infarct there in your brain.
00:21:53.94\00:21:58.91
So let's back to Harry.
00:21:58.95\00:22:00.72
We kind of drifted off of that.
00:22:00.75\00:22:03.69
Anything else you want
to say about Harry's future?
00:22:03.72\00:22:08.42
I'll tell you about Harry
that's really, really good
00:22:08.46\00:22:11.46
and when somebody is
planning on coming here,
00:22:11.49\00:22:13.86
bring your spouse.
00:22:13.90\00:22:15.23
Yeah.
00:22:15.26\00:22:16.77
Because they're
already on it, you know,
00:22:16.80\00:22:19.97
and they're
already doing and that's a,
00:22:20.00\00:22:22.34
I would say, bring your spouse,
00:22:22.37\00:22:24.27
you've got to pretty then was
charging clear back in the 80s,
00:22:24.31\00:22:27.94
he was charging
$12,000 but then,
00:22:27.98\00:22:31.61
then the spouse
could come for free...
00:22:31.65\00:22:33.98
Wow.
00:22:34.02\00:22:35.35
Or the
significant other whatever
00:22:35.38\00:22:37.12
could come for free to
help the person along the way
00:22:37.15\00:22:40.72
and that's a real
beneficial thing, yeah.
00:22:40.76\00:22:43.43
Well, as you know, my
wife, Cindy, came with me
00:22:43.46\00:22:46.83
and she didn't have
anything going on with her
00:22:46.86\00:22:49.50
but she still lost 40 pounds.
00:22:49.53\00:22:52.50
Yeah, over a period of time.
00:22:52.53\00:22:53.87
Over a period of time.
00:22:53.90\00:22:55.24
Yeah. Yeah.
00:22:55.27\00:22:56.60
And you always feel
better when, you know,
00:22:56.64\00:22:58.14
when you're like that.
00:22:58.17\00:23:00.08
America is hooked to this scale
00:23:00.11\00:23:03.71
and what they should be
hooked to is a treadmill.
00:23:03.75\00:23:06.28
Well, I gotta
hook to wind this up
00:23:06.31\00:23:08.08
because we're
running out of time.
00:23:08.12\00:23:09.55
Okay. It's always good to see...
00:23:09.58\00:23:10.99
Easy on that shoulder.
00:23:11.02\00:23:12.35
Thank you so much. Yeah.
00:23:12.39\00:23:14.22
Good bless you.
00:23:14.26\00:23:15.59
I'm thankful that you
went through it, you know.
00:23:15.62\00:23:17.23
Well, I am
thankful, you're thankful.
00:23:17.26\00:23:20.20
Folks, don't go away.
00:23:20.23\00:23:21.56
I know you're
thankful for watching this.
00:23:21.60\00:23:22.93
Don't go away, we
got a tip for you.
00:23:22.96\00:23:24.40
The next deadly
psychological sin is worry.
00:23:29.67\00:23:32.47
It's worry.
00:23:32.51\00:23:34.21
Worry reacts to the
possibility of danger
00:23:34.24\00:23:40.15
versus the
probability of danger.
00:23:40.18\00:23:42.88
In psychology, we
call it 'Hypervigilance'
00:23:42.92\00:23:46.65
not that vigilance is
completely unnecessary,
00:23:46.69\00:23:49.12
we need to be on guard,
there are dangers in the world
00:23:49.16\00:23:51.86
but worry reacts to
the possibility of danger
00:23:51.89\00:23:55.83
and the possibility of
danger is almost unlimited.
00:23:55.86\00:23:59.23
The problem with
hypervigilance or worry is that
00:23:59.27\00:24:02.27
it doesn't
achieve the protection
00:24:02.30\00:24:05.04
that one hopes it will achieve.
00:24:05.07\00:24:07.54
It's a known fact
in abuse counseling,
00:24:07.58\00:24:09.81
counseling victims of abuse that
00:24:09.84\00:24:11.71
those that have been abused,
00:24:11.75\00:24:13.35
those that have been victimized
are often re-victimized
00:24:13.38\00:24:16.65
and we think the
reason for this is that
00:24:16.69\00:24:18.89
they are hypervigilant,
00:24:18.92\00:24:20.26
they're so afraid of everything
00:24:20.29\00:24:21.82
that their nervous
systems literally get worn out
00:24:21.86\00:24:24.53
and they miss the actual threat
00:24:24.56\00:24:26.49
and they're not able to
defend themselves against that.
00:24:26.53\00:24:29.20
"Worry is blind and
cannot discern the future."
00:24:29.23\00:24:32.67
The reason we worry is that
we hope it's going to help us,
00:24:32.70\00:24:35.40
predict any kind of
potential threat out there
00:24:35.44\00:24:39.01
but actually it
doesn't work that way at all.
00:24:39.04\00:24:41.31
It doesn't discern
the future. It's blind.
00:24:41.34\00:24:44.71
So for no other reason,
reject this habit of worry
00:24:44.75\00:24:47.45
because it just doesn't achieve
00:24:47.48\00:24:49.25
what you think
it's going to achieve.
00:24:49.28\00:24:50.92
The replacement
for worry is trust.
00:24:50.95\00:24:54.42
Now I know trust sounds like
a very dangerous proposition,
00:24:54.46\00:24:59.19
particularly to some of you.
00:24:59.23\00:25:00.83
Those of you whose trust
has been horribly violated
00:25:00.86\00:25:03.73
but it's worse
for you to never trust
00:25:03.77\00:25:07.27
than it is for you to distrust.
00:25:07.30\00:25:09.90
So I suggest that
you learn to trust
00:25:09.94\00:25:12.84
but that you learn
to trust intelligently.
00:25:12.87\00:25:16.68
All institutions,
all social entities
00:25:16.71\00:25:21.18
whether it be a
family or a church
00:25:21.22\00:25:23.49
or even a society,
function on the basis of trust.
00:25:23.52\00:25:28.22
When trust falls
away from a given society,
00:25:28.26\00:25:30.93
that society makes
a cultural descent.
00:25:30.96\00:25:35.20
A society cannot prosper
00:25:35.23\00:25:37.07
when there's no trust
between the members of society,
00:25:37.10\00:25:40.40
the same thing is true
to smaller societies like
00:25:40.44\00:25:42.70
families and friendships.
00:25:42.74\00:25:44.84
Trust provides a foundation
00:25:44.87\00:25:46.91
for healthy
functioning in relationships
00:25:46.94\00:25:49.78
and healthy functioning
in individuals as well.
00:25:49.81\00:25:52.85
What we find in
psychology is that
00:25:52.88\00:25:54.52
there's a little chemical
in your brain called oxytocin
00:25:54.55\00:25:57.59
that is kind of
the mediator for trust,
00:25:57.62\00:25:59.69
it's the thing
that's working in your brain
00:25:59.72\00:26:02.12
when you're
forming a trust bond.
00:26:02.16\00:26:04.49
Let me read some information
to you about oxytocin.
00:26:04.53\00:26:08.33
"Research shows
that injected oxytocin
00:26:08.36\00:26:11.53
increases the willingness
to take social risks."
00:26:11.57\00:26:15.27
So if I were to
inject you with oxytocin,
00:26:15.30\00:26:17.41
this little
chemical in your brain,
00:26:17.44\00:26:19.11
then you would be more
inclined to talk to a stranger
00:26:19.14\00:26:22.44
or more inclined to
form a new friendship.
00:26:22.48\00:26:25.81
There's research on loneliness
and how it relates to trust.
00:26:25.85\00:26:30.05
"Loneliness was negatively
correlated with each measure
00:26:30.09\00:26:33.22
of trust beliefs
and trusting behavior."
00:26:33.25\00:26:36.99
The bottom line is that
trust is worth the risk.
00:26:37.03\00:26:41.00
Even though it does bring
certain risk factors, in fact,
00:26:41.03\00:26:44.97
there is no such
thing as trust without risk,
00:26:45.00\00:26:49.20
you do away with risk,
you do away with trust.
00:26:49.24\00:26:52.51
But even though there's a
risk involved in trusting,
00:26:52.54\00:26:55.01
it is worth the
risk, particularly,
00:26:55.04\00:26:57.95
if you learn how to
choose your friends well
00:26:57.98\00:27:00.95
and how to
choose confidants well
00:27:00.98\00:27:03.52
and how to conduct your
life in an intelligent manner,
00:27:03.55\00:27:06.86
what you will find is
you'll be disappointed
00:27:06.89\00:27:09.32
in other people less and less
00:27:09.36\00:27:11.29
and that those
trust bonds will build
00:27:11.33\00:27:13.60
and that the trust
itself will form the foundation
00:27:13.63\00:27:16.77
for healthy functioning in
you and in your relationships.
00:27:16.80\00:27:20.87
