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\00:00:16.51
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:00:16.54\00:00:18.98
That's 6.5, 747s
crashing everyday.
00:00:19.01\00:00:22.55
What's even more surprising
is that the fix is easy.
00:00:22.58\00:00:25.92
It's your lifestyle.
00:00:25.95\00:00:27.49
Wouldn't it be nice
if you could actually add
00:00:27.52\00:00:29.46
quality years to your
life rather than dying
00:00:29.49\00:00:31.53
one organ at a time?
00:00:31.56\00:00:33.53
Obesity and
diabetes are the cause
00:00:33.56\00:00:35.30
of over million deaths per year.
00:00:35.33\00:00:37.77
Most diseases are reversible
00:00:37.80\00:00:39.93
because most diseases
are life style diseases,
00:00:39.97\00:00:42.80
especially Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:42.84\00:00:46.34
Seriously now,
they can be reversed
00:00:46.37\00:00:48.61
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.

00:01:06.09\00:01:09.13
Hi, friends, and
welcome to another edition
00:01:12.33\00:01:14.87
of NEWSTART Now.
00:01:14.90\00:01:16.27
I'm your host, Ron Giannoni.
00:01:16.30\00:01:18.87
In our studios, Hildi Baseful,
00:01:18.91\00:01:22.81
from Salem, Oregon.
00:01:22.84\00:01:24.61
Let's take a look
when Hildi first arrived.
00:01:24.65\00:01:29.52
I came to the NEWSTART program
00:01:29.55\00:01:32.02
five years ago and
had an amazing turnaround.
00:01:32.05\00:01:35.86
I came here in my mid 60's.
00:01:35.89\00:01:38.63
After 18 days, my
memory was so much better,
00:01:38.66\00:01:41.33
my vitality, my smile was back.
00:01:41.36\00:01:44.53
I wasn't thinking
about getting old,
00:01:44.57\00:01:46.70
I was thinking about
00:01:46.74\00:01:48.07
how am I going to
cook the next meal.
00:01:48.10\00:01:49.87
I'm here now for my husband
00:01:49.90\00:01:52.64
who has some health
issues that he's been,
00:01:52.67\00:01:55.84
that are being worked on.
00:01:55.88\00:01:57.51
I am also here
because I'm 71.5 now
00:01:57.55\00:02:01.42
and I'm dragging again.
00:02:01.45\00:02:03.42
And I've been so
busy the last year
00:02:03.45\00:02:05.65
with health, and
moving, and so forth,
00:02:05.69\00:02:07.66
I haven't been walking
00:02:07.69\00:02:09.72
and I haven't had the
encouragement to do so,
00:02:09.76\00:02:12.69
and it's kind of
like a downhill slide.
00:02:12.73\00:02:15.03
I eat fast food
because I'm tired,
00:02:15.06\00:02:17.77
I drink tea, and I drink Pepsi
because I need the sugar-high
00:02:17.80\00:02:22.97
so my mind is clear
enough to do the taxes
00:02:23.00\00:02:25.57
or to figure out all the bills.
00:02:25.61\00:02:27.51
I'm here to reclaim,
with the Lord's help,
00:02:27.54\00:02:30.95
with Jesus' help, the
health that He wants me to have
00:02:30.98\00:02:34.45
and the health
that I want to embrace
00:02:34.48\00:02:36.79
so I can be about His business.
00:02:36.82\00:02:42.16
Welcome back
friends, and as I promised,
00:02:42.19\00:02:44.23
Hildi, how are you, dear?
00:02:44.26\00:02:46.36
Very good, thank you.
It is good to see you.
00:02:46.39\00:02:48.86
Thank you, it's good to be here.
00:02:48.90\00:02:50.43
Yes, and I want to begin
by letting our viewers know
00:02:50.47\00:02:55.77
that you are not necessarily
a full-medical participant,
00:02:55.80\00:03:00.84
but more in support
of someone you're with.
00:03:00.88\00:03:05.51
That's right.
00:03:05.55\00:03:07.05
About five years
ago, I came as my own
00:03:07.08\00:03:09.58
18-day NEWSTART participant
and it changed me so much.
00:03:09.62\00:03:14.19
I brought the message home
00:03:14.22\00:03:15.99
and it's taken five
years for my husband to...
00:03:16.02\00:03:18.96
Five years.
00:03:18.99\00:03:20.33
But he's is a busy man. Yes.
00:03:20.36\00:03:23.26
And the time was
just right to come.
00:03:23.30\00:03:25.90
So I've been here
as a partner with him,
00:03:25.93\00:03:28.00
partaking of all the
lectures, and the benefits,
00:03:28.04\00:03:31.27
and of course,
the wonderful food,
00:03:31.31\00:03:32.77
and the schools and so forth,
00:03:32.81\00:03:34.84
but I have not
been a full participant
00:03:34.88\00:03:38.15
with all the doctor's visits.
00:03:38.18\00:03:39.75
I have had a
doctor visit though.
00:03:39.78\00:03:41.68
You have, yes... Yes.
00:03:41.72\00:03:43.05
You visited with Dr.
Gallant. That's right.
00:03:43.08\00:03:45.12
And we'll be
interviewing him next,
00:03:45.15\00:03:47.99
but let me ask you a question.
00:03:48.02\00:03:49.69
Yes.
00:03:49.72\00:03:51.06
As a non-medical participant,
00:03:51.09\00:03:55.16
do you notice any
change in you, in particular?
00:03:55.20\00:03:58.37
Oh, my goodness, yes.
00:03:58.40\00:04:01.80
Well, tell us about it.
00:04:01.84\00:04:03.20
I'm sure you will. Yeah.
00:04:03.24\00:04:05.77
Just being part
of marvelous Weimar
00:04:05.81\00:04:10.15
for 18 days is a gift.
00:04:10.18\00:04:12.65
Just being here, and having
so many people praying for you,
00:04:12.68\00:04:17.29
money cannot buy that.
00:04:17.32\00:04:19.05
No, you can't.
00:04:19.09\00:04:20.42
And you just come, well, I
just came here and my husband
00:04:20.46\00:04:23.32
and we have just
felt lifted up in prayer.
00:04:23.36\00:04:26.49
And then every
lecture which we're,
00:04:26.53\00:04:29.66
every health
message was given so clearly
00:04:29.70\00:04:32.67
and so perfectly, really,
00:04:32.70\00:04:36.00
and everything is
backed with science.
00:04:36.04\00:04:37.97
It's not like old
wives' tales or say-so.
00:04:38.01\00:04:41.04
Everything is
very scientific and...
00:04:41.08\00:04:43.01
No voodoo?
00:04:43.04\00:04:44.38
No, there is a registered nurse
00:04:44.41\00:04:46.38
and my husband is a
family practice doctor.
00:04:46.41\00:04:49.02
We came, you
know, to hear facts.
00:04:49.05\00:04:51.85
Yes. And we have found facts.
00:04:51.89\00:04:53.96
So there's no way
we're gonna pull the wall
00:04:53.99\00:04:55.82
over anybody's eyes.
00:04:55.86\00:04:57.49
Well, you know,
it's that simple.
00:04:57.53\00:04:59.29
When Naaman was told to go
dunk in the Jordan seven times
00:04:59.33\00:05:03.33
because he had leprosy,
he thought that was too easy.
00:05:03.37\00:05:07.27
When the doctors here say
eat full plants, eat in whole,
00:05:07.30\00:05:12.54
and drink lots of
water, and exercise,
00:05:12.57\00:05:15.91
and eat high-nutritious food
with low calorie, guess what?
00:05:15.94\00:05:20.62
It really works.
00:05:20.65\00:05:22.15
So how did you
notice, in your own body,
00:05:22.18\00:05:25.65
how things worked on you?
00:05:25.69\00:05:27.29
How did you, do you
experience any change?
00:05:27.32\00:05:30.43
Well, I came here
after a very stressful year.
00:05:30.46\00:05:33.33
And so just the
rest and the kind people,
00:05:33.36\00:05:37.50
everyone is immensely kind
00:05:37.53\00:05:40.04
because they all
love Jesus, really.
00:05:40.07\00:05:42.70
You know, so it's like
living in a taste of heaven.
00:05:42.74\00:05:46.91
Living in this
kingdom, it's just amazing,
00:05:46.94\00:05:49.94
so just that was
a balm to my soul.
00:05:49.98\00:05:53.21
And the trails here are so easy.
00:05:53.25\00:05:55.98
I mean, there's the real
easy, and then the half mile,
00:05:56.02\00:05:58.35
and then going up into the woods
00:05:58.39\00:06:00.12
in the water towers.
00:06:00.16\00:06:01.49
So I came here
walking, may be about
00:06:01.52\00:06:04.06
half-a-mile at a time,
00:06:04.09\00:06:06.19
and now I'm up to
four miles at a time.
00:06:06.23\00:06:08.86
And so in 18 day...
00:06:08.90\00:06:10.23
Per day or at a time? Per day.
00:06:10.27\00:06:11.60
Oh, yeah, well,
00:06:11.63\00:06:13.23
I could probably go two
and a half miles at a time,
00:06:13.27\00:06:15.60
and then I come and rest.
00:06:15.64\00:06:17.24
And I go back out again
00:06:17.27\00:06:18.94
or I just catch half a mile
in between a lecture and say,
00:06:18.97\00:06:23.85
a spa treatment or
something like that.
00:06:23.88\00:06:25.88
Did you notice any weight loss?
00:06:25.91\00:06:28.12
Oh, yes, I've lost,
you know, some would say,
00:06:28.15\00:06:31.09
you've only lost
four or five pounds,
00:06:31.12\00:06:32.92
but I'll tell you,
my muscles have grown
00:06:32.95\00:06:35.52
a lot in my legs
and I have lost inches.
00:06:35.56\00:06:39.39
So I know from
before, when I have been here
00:06:39.43\00:06:41.90
before that this
program, exercise,
00:06:41.93\00:06:45.67
and nutritious
food really works.
00:06:45.70\00:06:49.20
It just peels it
off, but it's a natural,
00:06:49.24\00:06:51.64
it's not a
bounce-off and bounce-back-on.
00:06:51.67\00:06:56.11
It's not really, when
I walk I don't really go,
00:06:56.14\00:06:59.18
"Why, I've walked five miles."
00:06:59.21\00:07:00.78
No, I walk an
hour everyday at least.
00:07:00.82\00:07:03.49
Wow, that's great.
00:07:03.52\00:07:04.85
You know, with my
weight, I don't really go,
00:07:04.89\00:07:07.16
oh, this or that.
00:07:07.19\00:07:08.52
I'm going, I'm
eating the right food,
00:07:08.56\00:07:10.99
I'm trying to glorify
the Lord, and give thanks
00:07:11.03\00:07:14.30
for this temple
of the Holy Spirit
00:07:14.33\00:07:16.63
that the Lord has given me.
00:07:16.67\00:07:18.77
I'd like to say,
I'm 71.5 years old,
00:07:18.80\00:07:23.00
and I'm really
thankful that I'm still alive,
00:07:23.04\00:07:25.34
longevity is not in my family,
so I'm thankful for that.
00:07:25.37\00:07:29.71
And when I started
comparing birthdates
00:07:29.74\00:07:31.98
with other
people in the program,
00:07:32.01\00:07:33.42
there are 18 of us now.
00:07:33.45\00:07:35.48
Like six or seven of
us are 70 or 71 years old.
00:07:35.52\00:07:39.45
And we just kind of
looked at each other
00:07:39.49\00:07:41.82
and there was the
whole scale of this,
00:07:41.86\00:07:43.76
one fellow who is
extremely buff at 73
00:07:43.79\00:07:46.66
and some who
are really suffering
00:07:46.70\00:07:48.50
but we all saw that together,
00:07:48.53\00:07:51.00
all four or five of
us are swimming up hill
00:07:51.03\00:07:53.37
or swimming upstream
together in this program,
00:07:53.40\00:07:55.80
we've all improved.
00:07:55.84\00:07:57.74
And we all see what
70, 71 can look like.
00:07:57.77\00:08:01.94
You know, it's
not as the world sees
00:08:01.98\00:08:04.25
but as we see as
the Lord works in us,
00:08:04.28\00:08:06.98
and as cooperate with the
Lord's health plan for us.
00:08:07.02\00:08:11.05
Well said.
00:08:11.09\00:08:12.59
I couldn't have
said it better myself.
00:08:12.62\00:08:15.02
That was wonderful,
thank you. Thank you.
00:08:15.06\00:08:17.43
You know, when you
go home, you, of course,
00:08:17.46\00:08:21.76
will be with your
husband and seeing to it
00:08:21.80\00:08:25.70
that he sticks with the program
00:08:25.73\00:08:27.67
and let's just talk
about him for a minute,
00:08:27.70\00:08:29.70
'cause this interview
is basically about you.
00:08:29.74\00:08:31.91
Sure. How's he doing?
00:08:31.94\00:08:35.04
Ah, he is
enjoying the food. Good.
00:08:35.08\00:08:39.58
And he has lost,
I think, 16 pounds.
00:08:39.61\00:08:42.48
He does have some weight.
00:08:42.52\00:08:43.85
He has some skeletal
nervous system issues.
00:08:43.89\00:08:47.96
Yeah.
00:08:47.99\00:08:49.52
So outside of a miracle,
it's not going to be like
00:08:49.56\00:08:53.90
there's diabetics who
gets offered their insulin,
00:08:53.93\00:08:55.83
and so forth.
00:08:55.86\00:08:57.20
He's, outside of a miracle,
he is not going to jump up
00:08:57.23\00:09:00.37
and be okay.
00:09:00.40\00:09:01.90
But, like, he can walk
00:09:01.94\00:09:04.97
half a mile, a quarter mile,
00:09:05.01\00:09:09.04
and then do that a
couple of time a day.
00:09:09.08\00:09:11.45
And that is an
improvement for him.
00:09:11.48\00:09:12.81
Good, good.
00:09:12.85\00:09:14.18
And as the food is
going to decrease inflammation
00:09:14.22\00:09:16.69
in his body,
which it naturally does,
00:09:16.72\00:09:19.32
and also maximizes
health on the cellular level.
00:09:19.35\00:09:23.36
We're trusting that
working with the Lord,
00:09:23.39\00:09:27.20
cooperating with the healing
00:09:27.23\00:09:28.56
that is given to
us in our bodies,
00:09:28.60\00:09:30.97
that he will walk
out of this difficulty
00:09:31.00\00:09:34.30
to maximizing what he has.
00:09:34.34\00:09:38.21
Now, I have to ask this.
00:09:38.24\00:09:39.87
Did you know all this prior
to your first arrival here,
00:09:39.91\00:09:45.11
the NEWSTART program?
00:09:45.15\00:09:46.65
Or you just learned it now,
00:09:46.68\00:09:48.62
or is it part of your
credential as a nurse,
00:09:48.65\00:09:51.42
your knowledge,
etc., about foods.
00:09:51.45\00:09:54.16
Well, I was
fortunate enough to go
00:09:54.19\00:09:55.72
to Loma Linda
Nursing School 40 years ago,
00:09:55.76\00:09:58.56
so I have the
Adventist based health message.
00:09:58.59\00:10:01.50
And I have appreciated it,
but I haven't attired to it,
00:10:01.53\00:10:05.10
but basically I've
been eating healthy.
00:10:05.13\00:10:08.10
And after my first
18 days at NEWSTART,
00:10:08.14\00:10:11.97
I went back, and everything,
I mean, I was 65 then
00:10:12.01\00:10:15.54
and my memory was going like
"oh! I don't wanna do this."
00:10:15.58\00:10:18.91
And golly, it was
a real turnaround,
00:10:18.95\00:10:22.28
real turnaround,
so I did come here.
00:10:22.32\00:10:25.85
I already have a vitamix,
00:10:25.89\00:10:27.22
and I have the
tools in my kitchen,
00:10:27.26\00:10:28.59
and I have the jars
of nuts and everything,
00:10:28.62\00:10:30.79
but we are going to go back.
00:10:30.83\00:10:32.83
You know, sometimes you
have a year in your life
00:10:32.86\00:10:35.53
that's very stressful.
00:10:35.56\00:10:37.10
And the last year has
been extremely stressful
00:10:37.13\00:10:39.27
and I didn't have time to cook.
00:10:39.30\00:10:41.07
But now, the stress is over,
00:10:41.10\00:10:42.90
and we are just reborn
again into the message,
00:10:42.94\00:10:45.64
and we are going to embrace it.
00:10:45.67\00:10:47.54
Because I wanna keep
the clarity of the mind
00:10:47.58\00:10:50.91
that has been given to
me in these last 18 days
00:10:50.95\00:10:53.98
through
exercise, water, nutrition.
00:10:54.02\00:10:57.95
Hildi, we are out of
time, I've gotta cut you off.
00:10:57.99\00:11:01.19
And I wanna thank you so
much for taking your time,
00:11:01.22\00:11:04.56
and friends don't go
away, Dr. Gallant is up next.
00:11:04.59\00:11:11.53
When we look at
the health status
00:11:11.57\00:11:12.90
of Americans today,
00:11:12.93\00:11:14.37
it's alarming to see
that 60% are either overweight
00:11:14.40\00:11:17.97
or obese.
00:11:18.01\00:11:19.37
In addition, diseases
such as Type 2 diabetes,
00:11:24.08\00:11:27.12
cancer, and heart
disorders are the leading cause
00:11:27.15\00:11:29.55
of so many complications
and deaths every year.
00:11:29.58\00:11:32.72
Could it have something
to do with what we eat?
00:11:36.93\00:11:39.56
After all, every
one in four Americans
00:11:39.59\00:11:42.30
visit a fast
food restaurant daily
00:11:42.33\00:11:44.33
and with such easy
access to quick-fix foods,
00:11:44.37\00:11:47.87
we tend to forget
the poor health value
00:11:47.90\00:11:50.14
those foods actually offer.
00:11:50.17\00:11:52.87
Maybe it's the
sedentary lifestyle
00:11:52.91\00:11:54.81
and lack of
exercise that we have become
00:11:54.84\00:11:56.71
so accustomed to as
immediate dependant world.
00:11:56.75\00:12:00.22
Whatever the
cause of these diseases,
00:12:00.25\00:12:02.02
a solution has arrived.
00:12:02.05\00:12:06.35
The NEWSTART lifestyle center
offers an enriching program
00:12:06.39\00:12:09.72
where patients can get a healing
00:12:09.76\00:12:11.46
of mind, body, and soul.
00:12:11.49\00:12:13.53
Located in the
outskirts of Sacramento,
00:12:13.56\00:12:16.16
the NEWSTART center is
situated on the beautiful campus
00:12:16.20\00:12:19.30
of Weimar Center of
Health And Education
00:12:19.33\00:12:22.10
with scenic walking and
hiking trails all around.
00:12:22.14\00:12:25.84
With the whole plant
foods eaten whole, Mono,
00:12:25.87\00:12:29.21
the NEWSTART center promotes
a healthy plant-based diet
00:12:29.24\00:12:32.38
with an emphasis
on natural foods.
00:12:32.41\00:12:34.72
The NEWSTART
staff are made up of
00:12:34.75\00:12:36.85
California board
certified nurses, doctors,
00:12:36.89\00:12:40.29
dieticians, and
therapist who work together
00:12:40.32\00:12:43.12
to assist each
patient personally.
00:12:43.16\00:12:45.66
The staff are dedicated
to each patient's success
00:12:45.69\00:12:48.40
in the program
and are always there
00:12:48.43\00:12:50.37
to guide, advice, and encourage.
00:12:50.40\00:12:53.13
In addition to a
healthy lifestyle,
00:12:53.17\00:12:55.30
NEWSTART also promotes a
healthy exercise routine.
00:12:55.34\00:12:58.47
You're both in sequence,
that's good, all right.
00:12:58.51\00:13:01.24
As part of the balanced program,
00:13:01.28\00:13:02.88
there is much opportunity
to getting a fair share
00:13:02.91\00:13:05.51
of physical
activity from utilizing
00:13:05.55\00:13:07.75
our fitness
center to taking a stroll
00:13:07.78\00:13:10.25
around the
peaceful grounds of Weimar.
00:13:10.29\00:13:12.85
It's amazing what a
NEWSTART can do for you.
00:13:12.89\00:13:16.86
Welcome back, friends.
In the house, Dr. Gallant.
00:13:16.89\00:13:20.03
Ron, good to see you.
00:13:20.06\00:13:21.53
It's good to see you
00:13:21.56\00:13:22.90
and it's good to
be seen by the way.
00:13:22.93\00:13:24.27
Amen, amen, praise the Lord.
00:13:24.30\00:13:26.74
I want to talk about Hildi.
00:13:26.77\00:13:28.64
She seemed
very, to me, you know,
00:13:28.67\00:13:31.77
full of energy and
excited and, you know,
00:13:31.81\00:13:34.58
she's supporting her husband.
00:13:34.61\00:13:37.05
As you know is
also a fellow doctor.
00:13:37.08\00:13:39.78
That's right, that's right.
00:13:39.81\00:13:41.42
And he's had some problems
with his neck, in the back,
00:13:41.45\00:13:45.95
but she's also lost some weight.
00:13:45.99\00:13:48.99
Yes.
00:13:49.02\00:13:50.36
As a non-medical companion. Yes.
00:13:50.39\00:13:52.39
And let me describe what
that means, just briefly.
00:13:52.43\00:13:55.10
Non-medical
companion usually means
00:13:55.13\00:13:58.83
that someone's
here in the program
00:13:58.87\00:14:01.74
with another person who
needs to see the doctor,
00:14:01.77\00:14:05.84
who has a series of ailments
or diseases or medications
00:14:05.87\00:14:11.25
that they want to change,
00:14:11.28\00:14:13.11
so the non-medical companion
is here to support them.
00:14:13.15\00:14:16.02
Absolutely.
00:14:16.05\00:14:17.39
She is here to
support her husband.
00:14:17.42\00:14:18.75
She is, she is a
wonderful person,
00:14:18.79\00:14:20.36
full of energy like you said.
00:14:20.39\00:14:22.22
And you know,
she's been here before.
00:14:22.26\00:14:25.89
Four years ago... Yes.
00:14:25.93\00:14:27.46
Or five years ago.
00:14:27.50\00:14:28.83
Four or five, she
came without her husband
00:14:28.86\00:14:31.03
at that point.
00:14:31.07\00:14:32.47
And now, has comeback with
him, and she's done quiet well.
00:14:32.50\00:14:36.87
She's had a good experience,
she's lost some weight,
00:14:36.91\00:14:40.61
we checked some numbers,
things look pretty good.
00:14:40.64\00:14:43.21
And she was able to
find tune things a little bit
00:14:43.24\00:14:45.95
because the program
has changed a little bit
00:14:45.98\00:14:48.88
from four or five years ago.
00:14:48.92\00:14:50.25
Yes, it has.
00:14:50.29\00:14:51.62
I don't want our
guests out there and people
00:14:51.65\00:14:53.69
just listening to
program to think that
00:14:53.72\00:14:56.12
we are just doing
the same old thing.
00:14:56.16\00:14:58.89
We've changed a few things,
and I think I'd like to believe
00:14:58.93\00:15:02.03
we've made some improvements.
00:15:02.06\00:15:03.43
I think so.
00:15:03.47\00:15:04.80
And I remember
Dr. Nedley asking me,
00:15:04.83\00:15:07.17
"Do you think we can make
some changes in the program."
00:15:07.20\00:15:09.74
And I was like, "Of course,
00:15:09.77\00:15:11.11
we can always
better the program."
00:15:11.14\00:15:12.47
Absolutely.
00:15:12.51\00:15:13.84
You know, how to is up
to you guys, the doctors,
00:15:13.88\00:15:17.08
the people who
really run this place.
00:15:17.11\00:15:20.72
Nonetheless, I like
to talk a little bit
00:15:20.75\00:15:23.32
about HealthEast hospital.
00:15:23.35\00:15:24.69
Yes.
00:15:24.72\00:15:26.05
And I know we
didn't interview him
00:15:26.09\00:15:29.16
for whatever
reason, I don't even recall,
00:15:29.19\00:15:31.93
but nonetheless, how is
he faring through all this?
00:15:31.96\00:15:35.20
Randy's doing quiet well.
00:15:35.23\00:15:36.56
He came here with a
lot of muscle weakness
00:15:36.60\00:15:41.67
in his extremities,
upper and lower extremities,
00:15:41.70\00:15:44.47
had a hard time
walking, standing,
00:15:44.51\00:15:47.28
but couldn't do very much.
00:15:47.31\00:15:48.94
Why is that, I mean?
00:15:48.98\00:15:52.21
He actually had a neck
surgery a year ago, today.
00:15:52.25\00:15:55.38
Okay.
00:15:55.42\00:15:56.75
And ever since then
he's had sort of these
00:15:56.79\00:15:59.85
these
neuromuscular issues and we're,
00:15:59.89\00:16:03.06
I don't think
they've exactly labeled it.
00:16:03.09\00:16:06.26
But what we have found is
that by changing his lifestyle
00:16:06.29\00:16:10.87
he actually was able to achieve,
00:16:10.90\00:16:13.74
in 18 days, some improvement.
00:16:13.77\00:16:17.37
He tells me that
he is walking farther
00:16:17.41\00:16:20.78
than he has walked
before for the last year,
00:16:20.81\00:16:24.38
and he had lost a
lot of muscle tone.
00:16:24.41\00:16:28.45
And he was
actually wearing shorts
00:16:28.48\00:16:30.35
when he came to see me today,
and he showed me his calves,
00:16:30.39\00:16:32.69
and he said, "I'm
starting to get some definition
00:16:32.72\00:16:36.19
to my muscles again."
00:16:36.22\00:16:37.56
Yeah, which he is excited about.
00:16:37.59\00:16:39.93
That is exciting. I
had that same experience.
00:16:39.96\00:16:43.30
I've always had
these real skinny legs,
00:16:43.33\00:16:45.97
I still do, but they have
a little muscle on them now
00:16:46.00\00:16:49.00
and they are never used to.
00:16:49.04\00:16:50.37
Praise the Lord,
that's beautiful.
00:16:50.41\00:16:51.74
And so he is really
done some great gains.
00:16:51.77\00:16:55.08
You know, what I like
about the non medicals,
00:16:55.11\00:16:58.25
the husband and wife,
as my wife came with me,
00:16:58.28\00:17:02.12
I couldn't imagine for a minute
how I was gonna go back home
00:17:02.15\00:17:06.12
after 18 days and
share with my wife
00:17:06.15\00:17:09.02
what I learned here.
00:17:09.06\00:17:10.39
Yeah, yeah.
That's an impossibility.
00:17:10.43\00:17:12.66
It's... it's...
it's tough, it really is.
00:17:12.69\00:17:14.90
It is a
blessing to come together
00:17:14.93\00:17:16.70
as a couple to learn
the information together.
00:17:16.73\00:17:21.00
And then to not
only be on the same page,
00:17:21.04\00:17:24.11
but be there to
support each other
00:17:24.14\00:17:26.14
as you go back
home and transition
00:17:26.17\00:17:28.64
all this
information to home habits.
00:17:28.68\00:17:32.05
Absolutely.
00:17:32.08\00:17:33.42
And that's what I
tell our guests, is that
00:17:33.45\00:17:34.78
we need to develop
habits while they are here
00:17:34.82\00:17:37.55
that they can
take home with them
00:17:37.59\00:17:39.05
to be able to
continue this at home.
00:17:39.09\00:17:41.42
But Randy has done very
well, he's lost about 18 pounds.
00:17:41.46\00:17:45.13
Oh, wow! And he is...
00:17:45.16\00:17:47.46
He is a pretty big guy though.
00:17:47.50\00:17:49.00
He is a big guy to begin
with, absolutely, and he has,
00:17:49.03\00:17:53.60
he's just feeling excited about
00:17:53.64\00:17:55.47
how things have
transitioned while he's here.
00:17:55.50\00:17:58.37
Does he really get it?
00:17:58.41\00:17:59.74
I mean, I know he is a doctor
00:17:59.77\00:18:01.51
and he should
already have known it,
00:18:01.54\00:18:03.11
but some where along the
line, may be he just didn't do
00:18:03.14\00:18:08.35
what he thought
he should be doing.
00:18:08.38\00:18:09.98
How does that work? I
think he really does get it.
00:18:10.02\00:18:13.56
He, you know in lectures,
00:18:13.59\00:18:16.02
he was listening
and paying attention
00:18:16.06\00:18:18.79
and he would
understand what, the points
00:18:18.83\00:18:23.13
that we were
trying to get across,
00:18:23.16\00:18:24.83
and he is committed.
00:18:24.87\00:18:26.94
He is committed to
continuing this life style.
00:18:26.97\00:18:29.80
He started to see the benefits
of making these changes.
00:18:29.84\00:18:34.48
And I just pray
that by the grace of God
00:18:34.51\00:18:37.35
he will continue to see those
as he continues this at home.
00:18:37.38\00:18:41.82
Absolutely, I think
that is so important.
00:18:41.85\00:18:46.79
Well, not just
important, if you wanna live,
00:18:46.82\00:18:50.56
you learn what you learn here
and then take it home with you.
00:18:50.59\00:18:54.73
As I pray every
day that I stick to it.
00:18:54.76\00:18:58.63
It's been 11 years
for me, this August.
00:18:58.67\00:19:00.74
Wow, Praise the Lord.
Man, I'm just so grateful.
00:19:00.77\00:19:03.84
Yes, and about a
hundred pounds lesser
00:19:03.87\00:19:07.08
than my heaviest weight ever.
00:19:07.11\00:19:09.14
All though,
from when I came here
00:19:09.18\00:19:10.95
to the NEWSTART program,
maybe, like 75 or so, 80.
00:19:10.98\00:19:15.35
That's still great.
00:19:15.38\00:19:16.72
But, you know,
it's by the grace of God
00:19:16.75\00:19:19.39
that I was able to stick
to it but without my wife,
00:19:19.42\00:19:23.43
I don't know that
I've ever would have been
00:19:23.46\00:19:25.06
able to stick to it.
00:19:25.09\00:19:27.13
It would have been so
easy, "Oh, there's a McDonalds,
00:19:27.16\00:19:30.37
why don't I just get
a burger on the way."
00:19:30.40\00:19:32.13
Yeah. No,
absolutely, it's very important.
00:19:32.17\00:19:36.94
When we changed our
lifestyle, I had my wife,
00:19:36.97\00:19:39.87
but I also had younger children,
00:19:39.91\00:19:41.84
and we had to do
it all as a family.
00:19:41.88\00:19:44.25
And I think that
incorporation of including
00:19:44.28\00:19:47.52
as many people in the household
00:19:47.55\00:19:49.62
as you can in
making lifestyle change.
00:19:49.65\00:19:52.15
It's crucial to continuity
because one of the things,
00:19:52.19\00:19:57.03
I'll just share this real brief,
00:19:57.06\00:19:58.39
and one of the
things that I learned
00:19:58.43\00:20:00.76
and started to teach
people as I started to teach
00:20:00.80\00:20:02.86
was we need to read labels
and pay attention to them.
00:20:02.90\00:20:07.90
And if there's
things on the label
00:20:07.94\00:20:09.54
that we don't know what they are
00:20:09.57\00:20:11.87
or we can't pronounce
them, we probably shouldn't eat.
00:20:11.91\00:20:16.75
So when we did
this, our kids were young,
00:20:16.78\00:20:20.02
and one of our younger children
was able to read labels,
00:20:20.05\00:20:24.35
about eight years old,
was able to read labels,
00:20:24.39\00:20:26.79
and was able to remind us, "Hey,
00:20:26.82\00:20:29.22
this is probably
something we shouldn't eat."
00:20:29.26\00:20:31.36
Because if they
didn't understand
00:20:31.39\00:20:33.09
what it was, then, you know,
may be its not good for us.
00:20:33.13\00:20:37.63
Yeah, you know, I heard
Dr. Lukens in my, a year ago,
00:20:37.67\00:20:42.20
and plant-based, whole
plant foods eaten whole.
00:20:42.24\00:20:47.24
Whole plant based food eaten...
00:20:47.28\00:20:49.64
And you know he's right. Yeah.
00:20:49.68\00:20:51.81
'Cause if it's in
a can or in a box,
00:20:51.85\00:20:53.98
it's been processed.
00:20:54.02\00:20:55.35
That's right. And
we shouldn't eat it.
00:20:55.38\00:20:56.95
That's right.
00:20:56.99\00:20:59.02
You know, I want to
thank you 'cause I know
00:20:59.05\00:21:00.96
you are a busy guy.
00:21:00.99\00:21:02.62
Dr. Gallant not
only has a full-time job
00:21:02.66\00:21:05.66
at the NEWSTART program.
00:21:05.69\00:21:07.23
He is an ER doctor,
00:21:07.26\00:21:09.20
and sometimes he is
working 24, 36 hours,
00:21:09.23\00:21:13.64
may be I shouldn't even
say that, but lot of hours.
00:21:13.67\00:21:16.81
And I'm so
grateful that you are here.
00:21:16.84\00:21:18.71
Well, thank you.
I'm glad to be here.
00:21:18.74\00:21:21.14
As you say,
it's good to be seen.
00:21:21.18\00:21:22.54
Yes.
00:21:22.58\00:21:23.91
I know brought a good
change to our NEWSTART program.
00:21:23.95\00:21:26.65
Well, praise the Lord.
And I'm here to thank you.
00:21:26.68\00:21:30.42
Praise the Lord. Thank you, Ron.
00:21:30.45\00:21:31.79
And God bless.
God bless you too.
00:21:31.82\00:21:33.29
We'll see you next time. Okay.
00:21:33.32\00:21:34.79
You too, friends,
but don't go away,
00:21:34.82\00:21:36.46
we have a tip for you.
00:21:36.49\00:21:38.03
Welcome to the NEWSTART Kitchen.
00:22:11.73\00:22:13.46
We are going to be making
an Avocado-Mousse Carob Pie.
00:22:13.50\00:22:17.47
And believe it or not,
00:22:17.50\00:22:18.83
these avocados are
going to be totally disguised,
00:22:18.87\00:22:21.20
and you won't even notice that.
00:22:21.24\00:22:22.84
So let's talk about the recipe.
00:22:22.87\00:22:24.77
Avocadoes, very
good source of fat,
00:22:24.81\00:22:27.81
and we know that
avocadoes are important
00:22:27.84\00:22:31.81
for our diets
especially, nursing mothers
00:22:31.85\00:22:34.55
and expecting mothers.
00:22:34.58\00:22:37.12
We have some medjool
dates that are pitted.
00:22:37.15\00:22:40.26
Raw carob powder, very
important that it's raw
00:22:40.29\00:22:43.22
as opposed to toasted.
00:22:43.26\00:22:44.59
You could use toasted
but the raw carob powder
00:22:44.63\00:22:46.63
is gonna make it very smooth,
00:22:46.66\00:22:48.36
toasted is gonna give
it more of an edge to it,
00:22:48.40\00:22:50.97
almost like a coffee
like edge, but it's okay,
00:22:51.00\00:22:54.10
depends on your preference.
00:22:54.14\00:22:55.47
Maple syrup, and some water.
00:22:55.50\00:22:57.57
So let's get started.
00:22:57.61\00:22:59.27
We are going to add our
avocadoes to our recipe.
00:22:59.31\00:23:03.21
And again, avocadoes are
really good source of fat.
00:23:03.24\00:23:06.65
When you pit an avocado,
00:23:06.68\00:23:08.32
you never want
to take the avocado
00:23:08.35\00:23:10.49
and just use the
knife in your hand,
00:23:10.52\00:23:12.55
that's very dangerous.
00:23:12.59\00:23:13.92
Put it down on a cutting board,
give it a tap, give it a spin,
00:23:13.96\00:23:18.69
and put the avocado like so,
00:23:18.73\00:23:20.43
you can cut right
through the skin, and peel it,
00:23:20.46\00:23:23.00
and it's very
simple to use that way.
00:23:23.03\00:23:26.40
We need about
1.5 cups of avocado,
00:23:26.43\00:23:31.21
so that's about 1.5
avocadoes depending on the size.
00:23:31.24\00:23:34.78
We'll be adding our
pitted dates, and again,
00:23:34.81\00:23:36.61
I like to use the whole dates.
00:23:36.64\00:23:38.08
I pit them myself
because sometimes,
00:23:38.11\00:23:41.32
you can get mould in
here and it's not something
00:23:41.35\00:23:43.82
that you definitely
wanna use in your recipes.
00:23:43.85\00:23:45.42
So I don't like
buying, you know,
00:23:45.45\00:23:48.29
dates that have been chopped up,
00:23:48.32\00:23:49.86
so I like to buy
them just whole dates.
00:23:49.89\00:23:52.33
Always inspect
before you put them in
00:23:52.36\00:23:55.86
to your food
processor or your blender.
00:23:55.90\00:23:59.73
Okay, and medjool dates
00:23:59.77\00:24:03.37
are a very good source of fiber.
00:24:03.41\00:24:04.97
We are going to add a
little bit of an element
00:24:05.01\00:24:06.88
of a caramel,
00:24:06.91\00:24:08.24
and this will be
for our sweetness.
00:24:08.28\00:24:10.21
What we are going to
do is we are going to add
00:24:10.25\00:24:11.81
our raw carob powder.
00:24:11.85\00:24:15.45
And maple syrup, I
love grade B maple syrup
00:24:15.48\00:24:20.26
because grade B has
more of a maple flavor.
00:24:20.29\00:24:22.26
If you use grade
A, it's still the same
00:24:22.29\00:24:24.56
in terms of
nutritional and minerals,
00:24:24.59\00:24:26.59
it's just gonna
have a lighter flavor.
00:24:26.63\00:24:27.96
So grade B is gonna
give us a little bit more
00:24:28.00\00:24:29.83
of a deep maple flavor.
00:24:29.86\00:24:32.03
And then our water,
00:24:32.07\00:24:33.40
you can always
add more water to,
00:24:33.44\00:24:34.77
depending on what
you want to, you know,
00:24:34.80\00:24:36.47
the consistency that you want.
00:24:36.50\00:24:38.24
And what we'll do is
we will blend this up
00:24:38.27\00:24:39.81
till everything
as nice and creamy,
00:24:39.84\00:24:41.74
then we'll put it
into our pie crust
00:24:41.78\00:24:44.11
which we have
referenced on our website,
00:24:44.15\00:24:46.55
and it will be that simple.
00:24:46.58\00:24:47.92
And there we have it, our
beautiful carob's filling.
00:25:34.80\00:25:39.30
And this is lovely by itself,
00:25:39.33\00:25:41.10
you could make
this into pudding,
00:25:41.14\00:25:42.57
you can use it as a mousse,
I even use this as a frosting.
00:25:42.60\00:25:46.04
So I want you to get some ideas
00:25:46.07\00:25:47.74
of how versatile this is.
00:25:47.78\00:25:49.98
I'm just going to simply just
00:25:50.01\00:25:51.58
pour it into my pie crust.
00:25:51.61\00:25:57.45
That's very thick
00:25:57.49\00:25:59.72
and it will set up
in the refrigerator.
00:25:59.75\00:26:02.72
I would put it in for
about two to four hours
00:26:02.76\00:26:04.73
until it's totally firm,
00:26:04.76\00:26:09.56
and you won't even notice
that there is avocado in here.
00:26:09.60\00:26:13.07
And a lot of
people might be telling,
00:26:13.10\00:26:14.90
"You know, not really into that,
00:26:14.94\00:26:16.47
in terms of
avocado in my desert,"
00:26:16.50\00:26:18.94
but avocado is actually a fruit
00:26:18.97\00:26:21.04
and it's a great source
00:26:21.08\00:26:23.98
of essential fatty acids.
00:26:24.01\00:26:28.55
Okay.
00:26:28.58\00:26:29.92
You can see how rich
and creamy this really is.
00:26:34.39\00:26:40.06
You could add some
raspberries to this,
00:26:40.10\00:26:42.36
you can even add
some mint if you wanted to
00:26:42.40\00:26:46.53
and make it a
carob-mint filling.
00:26:46.57\00:26:51.47
I like to add
coconut whip cream to this
00:26:51.51\00:26:57.45
but you can make so very easily
with just some coconut milk,
00:26:57.48\00:27:01.48
a little bit of maple
syrup, and a pinch of salt,
00:27:01.52\00:27:06.05
whip it up, and you
have a very simple whip cream
00:27:06.09\00:27:11.76
or you can just
simply make it like this.
00:27:11.79\00:27:17.77
And there you
have your beautiful
00:27:17.80\00:27:21.20
avocado carob pie filling.
00:27:21.24\00:27:23.87
