Every year in America,
00:00:10.91\00:00:12.24
there are over
one million deaths
00:00:12.27\00:00:13.61
because of Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:13.64\00:00:16.51
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:00:16.54\00:00:18.85
That's 6.5, 747s
crashing every day.
00:00:18.88\00:00:22.45
What's even more surprising
is that the fix is easy.
00:00:22.48\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 to your life
00:00:28.69\00:00:30.63
rather than dying
one organ at a time?
00:00:30.66\00:00:33.56
Obesity and diabetes
00:00:33.60\00:00:34.93
are the cause of over
million deaths per year.
00:00:34.96\00:00:37.77
Most diseases are reversible
00:00:37.80\00:00:39.93
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:00:39.97\00:00:42.84
especially Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:42.87\00:00:46.34
Seriously now,
they can be reversed
00:00:46.37\00:00:48.54
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.

00:01:06.03\00:01:08.96
In our studio with me
today is James Barber,
00:01:12.47\00:01:16.34
from Riverside, California.
00:01:16.37\00:01:18.74
Good old, native Californian.
00:01:18.77\00:01:21.71
I want to take a look at
when James first got here.
00:01:21.74\00:01:25.11
He had a stroke
a few months back.
00:01:25.15\00:01:27.85
We will discuss
that during the interview
00:01:27.88\00:01:30.05
but let's take a look.
00:01:30.09\00:01:33.52
Well, I had a stroke
two and a half years ago,
00:01:33.56\00:01:35.69
and I am recovering a little bit
00:01:35.72\00:01:39.23
and I'm just trying to
recover little, little more
00:01:39.26\00:01:42.73
and every little bit helps.
00:01:42.76\00:01:44.73
So, I thought I'd come up here
00:01:44.77\00:01:48.44
and see if this
would help me too
00:01:48.47\00:01:52.61
to get myself back again.
00:01:52.64\00:01:55.54
I was on statins,
00:01:55.58\00:01:59.28
and I did some research
00:01:59.31\00:02:03.08
and found out how
dangerous they were,
00:02:03.12\00:02:05.95
so I just quit taking
them on my own and I thought,
00:02:05.99\00:02:09.36
"Well, this should
help me," you know.
00:02:09.39\00:02:15.56
And the program
here should help me
00:02:15.60\00:02:18.50
with the problems I
have with high cholesterol.
00:02:18.53\00:02:22.94
Well, I hope to see some
improvement in my health.
00:02:22.97\00:02:29.84
I need to lose some weight.
00:02:29.88\00:02:31.55
I need to get my
cholesterol down.
00:02:31.58\00:02:36.18
I need to do
little more exercise
00:02:36.22\00:02:38.79
for my leg and arms,
00:02:38.82\00:02:42.39
especially with me
getting off of the medications
00:02:42.42\00:02:46.36
that I was taking.
00:02:46.39\00:02:48.30
He said the program
here should replace...
00:02:48.33\00:02:51.70
the medications,
00:02:54.67\00:02:56.30
especially with
the change of diet,
00:02:56.34\00:02:58.74
and exercise, and water.
00:02:58.77\00:03:01.54
Welcome back, friends.
00:03:04.71\00:03:06.05
James, how are
you, sir? I'm fine, Ron.
00:03:06.08\00:03:08.55
That's good to see you.
00:03:08.58\00:03:10.25
You do look different.
00:03:10.29\00:03:11.82
Yeah, better than I
was when I came here.
00:03:11.85\00:03:14.82
Yeah, I think so. Yeah.
00:03:14.86\00:03:17.79
You know, we discussed a
stroke on our first interview.
00:03:17.83\00:03:23.33
How severe was that
stroke and when did it exactly,
00:03:23.37\00:03:26.60
when did it happen?
00:03:26.63\00:03:27.97
It happened on May 6th,
2014 and it was pretty severe.
00:03:28.00\00:03:33.34
I was asleep in my
truck, taken a break.
00:03:33.38\00:03:38.15
And the next morning
00:03:38.18\00:03:40.22
when I went to make my delivery,
00:03:40.25\00:03:41.58
I couldn't get out of bed.
00:03:41.62\00:03:43.52
I'd had a stroke during my sleep
00:03:43.55\00:03:45.22
and kind of
paralyzed my left side.
00:03:45.25\00:03:49.52
The entire left side?
00:03:49.56\00:03:50.89
The entire left
side, arm and leg.
00:03:50.93\00:03:53.06
And I couldn't get out of bed.
00:03:53.09\00:03:56.06
So, my company
00:03:56.10\00:04:01.50
track the truck down,
00:04:01.54\00:04:02.87
they knew where it was so
they called the local police
00:04:02.90\00:04:05.17
to come and check on me.
00:04:05.21\00:04:06.81
And they, they are the one
that got me out of the truck
00:04:06.84\00:04:09.58
and got me to the hospital.
00:04:09.61\00:04:11.81
But I had blood
clot on my brain.
00:04:11.85\00:04:14.95
And I remember,
00:04:14.98\00:04:19.49
I could hear the doctors talking
00:04:19.52\00:04:21.56
when they were
trying to dissolve them
00:04:21.59\00:04:23.69
or take them out
or whatever they do,
00:04:23.73\00:04:26.29
but I didn't get to
the hospital fast enough
00:04:26.33\00:04:30.73
to make a fast recovery.
00:04:30.77\00:04:34.87
Yes.
00:04:34.90\00:04:36.24
So, it's been a
couple years now,
00:04:36.27\00:04:38.44
about two and a half.
00:04:38.47\00:04:39.81
Two and a half.
00:04:39.84\00:04:41.18
And you regained
mobility with your left leg
00:04:41.21\00:04:45.71
but your left arm
is still little bit...
00:04:45.75\00:04:48.58
Tell us about that?
00:04:48.62\00:04:49.95
Yeah, left arm is
still not functioning.
00:04:49.98\00:04:54.12
But I've been working on
it in the last few months
00:04:54.16\00:04:58.93
and at least I can move
it and there is no pain.
00:04:58.96\00:05:03.83
So I think
00:05:03.87\00:05:05.20
if I just keep working
with and exercising it,
00:05:05.23\00:05:07.57
I'll get some
mobility back in it.
00:05:07.60\00:05:10.47
Yes.
00:05:10.51\00:05:11.84
We've had some
students working with you.
00:05:11.87\00:05:14.28
One of our students
from Guest services.
00:05:14.31\00:05:16.28
Correct.
00:05:16.31\00:05:17.65
And I have taught
him a few techniques
00:05:17.68\00:05:19.68
to work on the tendons and such
and help bring back mobility.
00:05:19.71\00:05:25.22
So I understand
you are thinking about,
00:05:25.25\00:05:29.59
maybe staying
for another session?
00:05:29.62\00:05:32.79
Yeah, because
00:05:32.83\00:05:36.00
the improvement that I see
00:05:36.03\00:05:41.30
has encouraged me
to stay another session
00:05:41.34\00:05:44.67
because I think another session,
00:05:44.71\00:05:46.07
I'll get a lot better,
get to walk in a lot better,
00:05:46.11\00:05:50.25
I'll get the arm
moving a little bit better.
00:05:50.28\00:05:52.51
Yeah.
00:05:52.55\00:05:53.88
And get some weight down
00:05:53.92\00:05:56.35
and get all of my vitals
00:05:56.38\00:06:01.66
in better shape
than they are now.
00:06:01.69\00:06:04.26
Now, vitals, you mean,
00:06:04.29\00:06:05.89
cholesterol and
triglycerides, all that.
00:06:05.93\00:06:07.46
Correct. Correct.
00:06:07.50\00:06:08.83
Now, you lost about 11
pounds, the first 10 or 11 days.
00:06:08.86\00:06:14.40
But then you
gained a couple of pounds.
00:06:14.44\00:06:16.17
Correct.
00:06:16.20\00:06:17.54
Could that gain
maybe be muscle mass,
00:06:17.57\00:06:20.58
and tell me what do you think?
00:06:20.61\00:06:23.18
I guess.
00:06:23.21\00:06:24.75
I guess it could be
00:06:24.78\00:06:26.11
because I haven't
been eating anything
00:06:26.15\00:06:27.52
to put the weight on.
00:06:27.55\00:06:30.12
Well, we don't
starve people here, do we?
00:06:30.15\00:06:32.72
No, you don't starve people
00:06:32.75\00:06:34.09
but, I have a sweet
tooth and when I am home,
00:06:34.12\00:06:39.49
I eat a lot of sweets
which I haven't had here.
00:06:39.53\00:06:42.83
You can't do those sweets.
00:06:42.86\00:06:44.63
So, I know it wasn't the
eating that put weight back on,
00:06:44.67\00:06:49.54
I don't really know what it was
00:06:49.57\00:06:51.87
but something put
three pounds back on me.
00:06:51.91\00:06:55.78
Now, have you
learned while you are here,
00:06:55.81\00:06:59.48
foods to eat
and foods not to eat
00:06:59.51\00:07:03.49
that will help your situation?
00:07:03.52\00:07:06.69
Yeah, I've learned a
lot about eating correctly
00:07:06.72\00:07:09.69
and the right foods
00:07:09.72\00:07:11.66
but it's going to
be difficult for me
00:07:11.69\00:07:15.43
to get into the habit of
eating like that regular.
00:07:15.46\00:07:21.30
Why would you say that?
00:07:21.34\00:07:22.67
Well, I'm living with a friend
00:07:22.70\00:07:24.14
and I live in
somebody else's house and I...
00:07:24.17\00:07:30.45
They do all the fixing?
00:07:30.48\00:07:32.21
They do all the fixing and...
00:07:32.25\00:07:36.65
My friend is 88
00:07:36.69\00:07:38.19
and he has a caretaker
to come in and fix his meals
00:07:38.22\00:07:42.86
and, of course,
they fix mine too,
00:07:42.89\00:07:45.69
but I quit eating what he
eats before I came up here.
00:07:45.73\00:07:51.37
Good.
00:07:51.40\00:07:52.80
Because he has to
have eggs and bacon
00:07:52.83\00:07:54.47
every morning for breakfast,
00:07:54.50\00:07:55.84
and I don't like bacon.
00:07:55.87\00:07:57.97
I don't like eggs
and... Yeah, too fat.
00:07:58.01\00:08:01.58
Those two things along
will clog up your arteries.
00:08:01.61\00:08:03.78
Yeah, they will. Yeah.
00:08:03.81\00:08:05.58
And then he eats about a
half a gallon of ice cream
00:08:05.61\00:08:07.42
every night
before he goes to bed.
00:08:07.45\00:08:08.85
Oh, how old is he?
00:08:08.88\00:08:10.29
Eighty eight. Well.
00:08:10.32\00:08:12.92
And I cut out the ice cream too.
00:08:12.95\00:08:15.99
Good for you.
00:08:16.02\00:08:17.36
I used to eat a
little bit with him
00:08:17.39\00:08:18.73
but I cut it out few
weeks before I came up here.
00:08:18.76\00:08:22.90
Good for you.
00:08:22.93\00:08:24.97
And where did you learn that?
00:08:25.00\00:08:27.44
I learnt it from a friend
00:08:27.47\00:08:29.27
that used to
work here at NEWSTART.
00:08:29.30\00:08:31.71
Really? A doctor or...
00:08:31.74\00:08:33.81
Oh, you learnt
that from Jerry Flores.
00:08:33.84\00:08:36.04
Jerry Flores. Jerry.
00:08:36.08\00:08:38.31
Good old Jerry.
00:08:38.35\00:08:39.68
You know one of the
best massage therapist
00:08:39.71\00:08:42.18
I've ever had the
pleasure of working with.
00:08:42.22\00:08:43.89
He is good.
00:08:43.92\00:08:45.25
He is good. He
is very, very good.
00:08:45.29\00:08:47.06
In fact, didn't Jerry
recommend you come here?
00:08:47.09\00:08:49.36
Jerry, yeah,
Jerry recommended me
00:08:49.39\00:08:51.63
to come in here to the
NEWSTART program and...
00:08:51.66\00:08:53.66
He told me about you
at some point in time.
00:08:53.70\00:08:55.96
Yeah. Yeah, he did.
I'm glad that you made it.
00:08:56.00\00:08:58.87
Yeah, I am too and
actually I didn't want to come
00:08:58.90\00:09:03.07
and tell I could
stay for two sessions
00:09:03.10\00:09:05.51
because I figured it
was going to take to...
00:09:05.54\00:09:10.31
To get a big
change in my walking
00:09:10.35\00:09:14.95
and my arm movement.
00:09:14.98\00:09:17.62
And, but while I was waiting,
00:09:17.65\00:09:22.32
I started spending the money
00:09:22.36\00:09:24.29
and I spent part of the
money before I came up here so.
00:09:24.33\00:09:30.27
Oh, no.
00:09:30.30\00:09:31.63
Yeah. That's okay.
00:09:31.67\00:09:33.84
I know, I need two sessions
00:09:38.51\00:09:40.08
because he was telling me that
00:09:40.11\00:09:43.14
one person came here and
stayed for four sessions.
00:09:43.18\00:09:46.78
Actually we had this guy,
came here, he was living here.
00:09:46.82\00:09:51.52
He stayed for two
sessions and he lived on campus
00:09:51.55\00:09:55.69
and continued on
for about six months.
00:09:55.72\00:09:59.23
Oh.
00:09:59.26\00:10:00.60
And I don't know
if he's referring
00:10:00.63\00:10:02.46
to that gentleman or not.
00:10:02.50\00:10:05.17
But we have had people stay
two or three sessions in a row.
00:10:05.20\00:10:09.20
We had a gal two
sessions ago, 355 pounds.
00:10:09.24\00:10:13.98
Wow.
00:10:14.01\00:10:15.34
She lost 32
pounds her first session.
00:10:15.38\00:10:18.51
I spoke with her the
other day, she's down 75 pounds
00:10:18.55\00:10:23.95
and so, you know.
00:10:23.99\00:10:26.19
It is a big improvement.
00:10:26.22\00:10:27.56
Yeah, and the same thing
is going to happen with you.
00:10:27.59\00:10:30.16
You gonna lose
more and more weight.
00:10:30.19\00:10:32.36
Yeah, if I could
get my weight down,
00:10:32.39\00:10:33.93
a lot of things, I
think will improve.
00:10:33.96\00:10:36.67
Yeah, yeah.
00:10:36.70\00:10:38.03
'Cause I have sleep apnea,
00:10:38.07\00:10:39.40
I'm sleeping with a CPAP machine
00:10:39.43\00:10:41.27
and they say, if
you get your weight down
00:10:41.30\00:10:44.54
it may get to
00:10:44.57\00:10:46.21
where you don't have
to use the CPAP machine.
00:10:46.24\00:10:48.68
So, true.
00:10:48.71\00:10:50.48
James, I want to thank
you for taking your time
00:10:50.51\00:10:53.42
and coming on the
set and chatting with us.
00:10:53.45\00:10:56.28
And I'm looking forward
to see you in next session.
00:10:56.32\00:10:58.55
Well, I thank you for having me.
00:10:58.59\00:11:00.26
Yeah, I am looking
forward to be in here
00:11:00.29\00:11:01.72
on the next session.
00:11:01.76\00:11:03.09
All right, James, God bless.
00:11:03.12\00:11:04.46
Okay, all right. Thanks.
00:11:04.49\00:11:05.83
Thanks for being with us,
00:11:05.86\00:11:07.20
and thanks for taking your time.
00:11:07.23\00:11:08.66
And, friends, don't go away
00:11:08.70\00:11:10.17
Dr. A Kuninobo
will be right with us.
00:11:10.20\00:11:16.00
When we look at
the health status
00:11:16.04\00:11:17.47
of Americans today,
00:11:17.51\00:11:18.84
it's alarming to see that 60%
are either overweight or obese.
00:11:18.87\00:11:23.18
In addition, diseases
such as Type 2 diabetes,
00:11:28.58\00:11:31.39
cancer, and heart disorders
00:11:31.42\00:11:32.99
are the leading cause
of so many complications
00:11:33.02\00:11:35.42
and deaths every year.
00:11:35.46\00:11:37.29
Could it have something
to do with what we eat?
00:11:41.40\00:11:44.13
After all, every
one in four Americans
00:11:44.17\00:11:46.67
visits a fast
food restaurant daily
00:11:46.70\00:11:48.84
and with such easy
access to quick fix foods,
00:11:48.87\00:11:52.37
we tend to forget
the poor health value
00:11:52.41\00:11:54.34
those foods actually offer.
00:11:54.38\00:11:57.41
Maybe it's the
sedentary lifestyle
00:11:57.45\00:11:59.21
and lack of
exercise that we've become
00:11:59.25\00:12:01.15
so accustomed to as a
media dependent world.
00:12:01.18\00:12:04.75
Whatever the
cause of these diseases,
00:12:04.79\00:12:06.55
a solution has arrived.
00:12:06.59\00:12:10.79
The NEWSTART lifestyle
center offers enriching program
00:12:10.83\00:12:14.20
where patients can
get a healing of mind,
00:12:14.23\00:12:16.56
body, and soul.
00:12:16.60\00:12:18.17
Located in the
outskirts of Sacramento,
00:12:18.20\00:12:20.54
the NEWSTART
center is situated on
00:12:20.57\00:12:22.60
the beautiful
campus of Weimar Center
00:12:22.64\00:12:24.84
of Health and Education,
00:12:24.87\00:12:26.51
with scenic walking and
hiking trails all around.
00:12:26.54\00:12:30.28
With a whole plant
foods eating whole motto,
00:12:30.31\00:12:33.52
the NEWSTART center promotes
a healthy plant based diet
00:12:33.55\00:12:36.82
with the
emphasis on natural foods.
00:12:36.85\00:12:39.19
The NEWSTART staff are made
up of California board certified
00:12:39.22\00:12:42.89
nurses, doctors,
dieticians, and therapist
00:12:42.92\00:12:46.80
who work together to
assist each patient personally.
00:12:46.83\00:12:50.20
The staff are dedicated
to each patient's success
00:12:50.23\00:12:52.90
in the program
00:12:52.93\00:12:54.27
and are always there to
guide, advise, and encourage.
00:12:54.30\00:12:57.64
In addition to a
healthy lifestyle,
00:12:57.67\00:12:59.84
NEWSTART also promotes a
healthy exercise routine.
00:12:59.87\00:13:02.84
You both in
sequence, that's good.
00:13:02.88\00:13:04.75
All right.
00:13:04.78\00:13:06.11
As part of the balance program,
there is much opportunity
00:13:06.15\00:13:08.72
to get in the fair
share of physical activity
00:13:08.75\00:13:11.45
from utilizing
our fitness center
00:13:11.49\00:13:13.59
to taking a stroll around
the peaceful grounds of Weimar.
00:13:13.62\00:13:17.29
It's amazing what a
NEWSTART can do for you.
00:13:17.33\00:13:20.70
Welcome back, friends.
00:13:20.73\00:13:22.06
In our studio, Dr. Kuninobo.
00:13:22.10\00:13:24.00
Yes, thank you.
00:13:24.03\00:13:25.40
I want to tell our guests
that you are our newest arrival
00:13:25.43\00:13:29.67
who is joining our clinic.
00:13:29.70\00:13:31.94
And it's been a pleasure so far.
00:13:31.97\00:13:33.44
And it's been a pleasure for us.
00:13:33.48\00:13:35.24
You've come here.
00:13:35.28\00:13:36.61
You had a family practice
in San Diego for 20 years.
00:13:36.64\00:13:39.48
That's correct.
00:13:39.51\00:13:40.85
And you are born
on some little island,
00:13:40.88\00:13:43.79
in the middle of the
pacific called Hawaii.
00:13:43.82\00:13:46.59
Well, actually
I was born in L.A.
00:13:46.62\00:13:48.12
You were born in L.A.,
then you were raised there.
00:13:48.16\00:13:50.26
I was raised in
Hawaii from age 8 to 18.
00:13:50.29\00:13:53.03
Yeah, we're joking
about that, just a moment ago.
00:13:53.06\00:13:56.73
Yeah, and here you are,
so good to have you here.
00:13:56.77\00:13:59.23
Thank you so much.
00:13:59.27\00:14:00.60
And our guests,
otherwise known as patients,
00:14:00.64\00:14:05.01
I think they all love you,
and they told, Dr. K says this.
00:14:05.04\00:14:07.74
Praise God. Praise God.
00:14:07.78\00:14:09.11
Yes, so you're
bringing something,
00:14:09.14\00:14:11.85
all our doctors
bring so much value here.
00:14:11.88\00:14:14.52
Praise God.
00:14:14.55\00:14:15.88
And we just thank you
for your ministry here,
00:14:15.92\00:14:18.79
we know that it's
important for our guests.
00:14:18.82\00:14:22.09
Let's talk about James. Oh, yes.
00:14:22.12\00:14:25.03
And you know, he had a stroke,
two and a half years ago,
00:14:25.06\00:14:29.43
roughly in May 14th.
00:14:29.46\00:14:31.87
And a heart attack too.
00:14:31.90\00:14:33.47
I didn't know
about the heart attack.
00:14:33.50\00:14:36.44
Was it simultaneous?
00:14:36.47\00:14:38.17
Pretty close together.
00:14:38.21\00:14:39.54
Ah, okay.
00:14:39.57\00:14:41.14
And he's struggling,
00:14:41.18\00:14:42.51
he was paralyzed
on the left side.
00:14:42.54\00:14:45.15
He was out on the
road as a trucker.
00:14:45.18\00:14:48.28
He couldn't get out of his truck
00:14:48.32\00:14:49.65
so he couldn't
get immediate help,
00:14:49.68\00:14:52.69
you know, blood
thinners, and whatever
00:14:52.72\00:14:54.19
you guys do to help,
00:14:54.22\00:14:57.53
but now he's struggling
00:14:57.56\00:14:59.06
that long road back to mobility.
00:14:59.09\00:15:03.83
What are his chances here, Doc?
00:15:03.87\00:15:05.83
What do you think?
00:15:05.87\00:15:07.20
I know a miracle needs to happen
00:15:07.24\00:15:10.21
'cause out in the
world there, they say,
00:15:10.24\00:15:11.97
"Well, that's the way it is."
00:15:12.01\00:15:13.88
Yeah, you know, at
two and a half years,
00:15:13.91\00:15:15.24
most conventional
thought would say, you know,
00:15:15.28\00:15:16.91
if he's going
to get improvement,
00:15:16.95\00:15:18.28
we should have seen it by now.
00:15:18.31\00:15:20.15
But, you know, the
body has amazing capacities
00:15:20.18\00:15:23.85
to heal itself.
00:15:23.89\00:15:25.35
Yeah.
00:15:25.39\00:15:26.72
When God is at the
head of their body.
00:15:26.76\00:15:29.52
You know, and so I
would never limit God
00:15:29.56\00:15:32.16
to what He is
going to do for James.
00:15:32.19\00:15:34.56
You know, on the other
hand, as we all recognize that
00:15:34.60\00:15:37.50
it will be tall
order to expect that
00:15:37.53\00:15:40.17
just because he's going to do
00:15:40.20\00:15:41.54
a few simple things in his life,
00:15:41.57\00:15:42.90
suddenly there is going
to be a miraculous thing
00:15:42.94\00:15:44.27
that happens here.
00:15:44.31\00:15:45.64
God could do that.
00:15:45.67\00:15:47.31
That may happen.
00:15:47.34\00:15:48.68
But there are so
many facets to James
00:15:48.71\00:15:50.65
besides just his disability.
00:15:50.68\00:15:52.88
I think they're
very important for him.
00:15:52.91\00:15:55.72
One thing about James
that may or may not come out
00:15:55.75\00:15:58.05
when he was talking, is
he's a very resourceful man.
00:15:58.09\00:16:01.92
And he is very determined. Yes.
00:16:01.96\00:16:04.29
When you think about the ability
00:16:04.33\00:16:06.66
or maybe somebody
would say disabilities
00:16:06.70\00:16:08.33
that he has to
function, he's very creative
00:16:08.36\00:16:12.57
and how he works
through everything by himself
00:16:12.60\00:16:15.04
with that one hand.
00:16:15.07\00:16:16.40
We noticed that at the cafeteria
00:16:16.44\00:16:18.67
that he does everything himself,
00:16:18.71\00:16:20.51
you know, gets his
food, grains, flaxseed,
00:16:20.54\00:16:23.65
does all these
things by himself.
00:16:23.68\00:16:25.08
Gets his meal, so, you
know, he's a type of person
00:16:25.11\00:16:29.45
that if there is
going to be improvement
00:16:29.48\00:16:31.79
when he puts his
will with God's will,
00:16:31.82\00:16:33.59
who knows what
can happen with him.
00:16:33.62\00:16:35.92
Amen.
00:16:35.96\00:16:37.29
We want so bad to see
him change to benefit him.
00:16:37.33\00:16:43.83
Absolutely.
00:16:43.87\00:16:45.23
So that he can get
mobility back on that left arm,
00:16:45.27\00:16:48.84
I know he wants
that more than anything.
00:16:48.87\00:16:51.41
You know, he's going to
stay with us another session.
00:16:51.44\00:16:54.08
Yeah. I am really
excited about that.
00:16:54.11\00:16:55.78
Yeah, he's pretty much
made that decision already
00:16:55.81\00:16:59.21
and we're helping
him in every way we can.
00:16:59.25\00:17:02.42
He will be going home,
he's from Riverside area.
00:17:02.45\00:17:07.86
He was referred to us by
one of our massage therapist,
00:17:07.89\00:17:12.36
Jerry Flores.
00:17:12.39\00:17:14.13
Jerry is an excellent therapist,
00:17:14.16\00:17:16.26
I wish he was back here
00:17:16.30\00:17:17.63
but nonetheless
Jerry referred him,
00:17:17.67\00:17:20.60
and so he's
going to go back down
00:17:20.64\00:17:22.50
and get some therapy with Jerry
00:17:22.54\00:17:24.81
and then come back
to our next session.
00:17:24.84\00:17:27.68
And I am sure you're going
to be his doctor then, right?
00:17:27.71\00:17:30.41
Well, I certainly hope so
00:17:30.45\00:17:31.78
'cause I want to continue
to follow with his improvement.
00:17:31.81\00:17:33.62
Yes. Yes. You
noticed I said improvement.
00:17:33.65\00:17:36.18
Did he talk it all
about that with you?
00:17:36.22\00:17:37.92
Yeah, why don't you tell
us from your perspective?
00:17:37.95\00:17:40.29
Yeah, 'cause I was there,
I was talking with him today,
00:17:40.32\00:17:43.53
you know, doctor's appointment,
00:17:43.56\00:17:44.89
our final visit
during this session,
00:17:44.93\00:17:47.50
and I was asking him
how things were going.
00:17:47.53\00:17:50.00
You know, he was very interested
00:17:50.03\00:17:51.63
to find out
about his cholesterol,
00:17:51.67\00:17:53.34
which we should
talk about in a minute.
00:17:53.37\00:17:55.70
But I was asking him about
how is he doing getting around
00:17:55.74\00:17:57.74
because I've been watching him,
everybody's been watching him.
00:17:57.77\00:18:00.44
Yes.
00:18:00.48\00:18:01.81
And to see, and I think
there for a lot of people
00:18:01.84\00:18:04.58
when you're the
one that's improving,
00:18:04.61\00:18:06.35
sometimes you don't recognize it
00:18:06.38\00:18:07.75
unless you stop
and think about it.
00:18:07.78\00:18:09.85
I think we all recognize
that he was getting stronger,
00:18:09.88\00:18:13.46
little firmer in his step.
00:18:13.49\00:18:15.12
Little quicker down the hallway.
00:18:15.16\00:18:17.16
And you know, he had to
stop and think about it.
00:18:17.19\00:18:19.59
Then he says, "You know what?
00:18:19.63\00:18:21.06
I have noticed that
my step is stronger.
00:18:21.10\00:18:24.33
That I am walking
a little bit easier."
00:18:24.37\00:18:26.37
Praise God. And I
say praise God for that.
00:18:26.40\00:18:28.44
Absolutely. Praise God.
00:18:28.47\00:18:30.74
I saw, I mean, Paul, our editor
and our photographer here,
00:18:30.77\00:18:36.51
he noticed that he
was dragging the suitcase
00:18:36.54\00:18:38.98
out to his truck with one arm.
00:18:39.01\00:18:41.95
Filling up with
whatever he needed.
00:18:41.98\00:18:43.85
Maybe it was Dr.
Gallant was sharing.
00:18:43.89\00:18:45.22
Dr. Gallant I think
was sharing with, yeah.
00:18:45.25\00:18:47.39
And he'd fill up the
suitcase and he dragged it back
00:18:47.42\00:18:49.76
to his room and he
really is resourceful.
00:18:49.79\00:18:52.69
He is.
00:18:52.73\00:18:54.06
And determined, I
really feel that, you know.
00:18:54.10\00:18:57.37
You know, you are in
the business of healing
00:18:57.40\00:19:00.14
and you see people,
00:19:00.17\00:19:01.64
you know for sure
they're going to make it
00:19:01.67\00:19:03.61
'cause they've
got that attitude.
00:19:03.64\00:19:05.54
He's got the right attitude.
He's got the right attitude.
00:19:05.57\00:19:07.58
Yeah. Absolutely.
00:19:07.61\00:19:09.08
Can you tell us more,
can you tell our guests
00:19:09.11\00:19:11.91
if they're struggling with,
00:19:11.95\00:19:15.58
you know, things like an arm
00:19:15.62\00:19:19.32
that won't work or a
leg, what should they do?
00:19:19.35\00:19:22.62
Well, number one is,
00:19:22.66\00:19:23.99
you want to give your
body every opportunity
00:19:24.03\00:19:26.70
to heal and improve.
00:19:26.73\00:19:28.06
So you want to
really maximize your health
00:19:28.10\00:19:31.03
because especially for those
00:19:31.07\00:19:34.00
who have just
recently suffered an injury,
00:19:34.04\00:19:36.84
loss like a recent stroke.
00:19:36.87\00:19:39.31
You really want to
increase the body's capacities
00:19:39.34\00:19:42.38
to heal itself.
00:19:42.41\00:19:44.18
So you want to
increase the nutrients,
00:19:44.21\00:19:47.32
through going on a
whole food plant based diet.
00:19:47.35\00:19:51.02
You want to increase
water intake, this dehydration,
00:19:51.05\00:19:55.02
things don't
move around as well.
00:19:55.06\00:19:56.52
Your nutrients,
your oxygen as well.
00:19:56.56\00:19:59.16
Yeah, you want to get exercise,
00:19:59.19\00:20:01.56
get the oxygen
moving through there.
00:20:01.60\00:20:04.03
You know, those
things are just so important
00:20:04.07\00:20:07.14
because the body
does want to heal itself
00:20:07.17\00:20:10.04
and weak it in
our own way sometimes.
00:20:10.07\00:20:11.94
And one of the worst
things we do is sometimes,
00:20:11.97\00:20:13.94
when we suffer losses,
we just kind of sit back
00:20:13.98\00:20:16.75
and say, "Oh, well."
00:20:16.78\00:20:18.55
And then, we don't do anything
and that's the worst thing
00:20:18.58\00:20:21.32
that we can do.
00:20:21.35\00:20:22.68
Give up. Give up, exactly.
00:20:22.72\00:20:24.39
And the mind body
connection is so profound,
00:20:24.42\00:20:27.02
just the can do
attitude like you said.
00:20:27.06\00:20:31.19
You know, I talk to
people all day and I give them,
00:20:31.23\00:20:36.06
a kind of a
layman's interpretation
00:20:36.10\00:20:38.60
of what you just said.
00:20:38.63\00:20:39.97
When we feed the body,
what is right for the body,
00:20:40.00\00:20:44.64
it knows what to do.
00:20:44.67\00:20:46.47
The body knows what to do.
00:20:46.51\00:20:47.84
It doesn't need instruction.
00:20:47.88\00:20:49.44
It doesn't have to go
anywhere to get to learn.
00:20:49.48\00:20:53.31
It heals itself
through plant based,
00:20:53.35\00:20:57.75
exercise, water...
00:20:57.79\00:20:59.72
And the grace of God.
00:20:59.75\00:21:01.09
Grace of God, we
mustn't leave that out.
00:21:01.12\00:21:05.19
So, Doc, I want to thank you
00:21:05.23\00:21:07.16
and again let
the guests know that
00:21:07.20\00:21:10.17
we're really happy
that you're here with us,
00:21:10.20\00:21:12.13
and we thank the
world of you already.
00:21:12.17\00:21:14.90
Thank you so much.
00:21:14.94\00:21:16.27
You've only been,
you've made a good impression.
00:21:16.30\00:21:18.47
Oh, thank you.
00:21:18.51\00:21:20.91
Thank you, Dr. K. My pleasure.
00:21:20.94\00:21:22.38
Do you mind if I call you Dr. K?
00:21:22.41\00:21:23.75
I'm fine with that. Okay.
00:21:23.78\00:21:25.58
Friends, thank you.
00:21:25.61\00:21:27.65
Don't go away, please,
00:21:27.68\00:21:29.02
we've got a tip
for you following this.
00:21:29.05\00:21:30.95
Welcome to our NEWSTART kitchen.
00:21:34.96\00:21:36.73
I'm really excited to show you
00:21:36.76\00:21:38.29
how to make a
Rice Krispie treat,
00:21:38.33\00:21:40.80
without all of the sugar.
00:21:40.83\00:21:42.80
I've been growing up
with Rice Krispie Treat,
00:21:42.83\00:21:45.03
I use the marshmallows,
you know, on the butter.
00:21:45.07\00:21:47.90
We're going to skip all of that,
00:21:47.94\00:21:49.40
and I'm going to
use healthy ingredients.
00:21:49.44\00:21:51.34
What goes into the
Rice Krispie treats
00:21:51.37\00:21:53.21
are our brown rice
crisps or brown rice Krispies.
00:21:53.24\00:21:56.34
Find whichever work for you
but I really love this brand.
00:21:56.38\00:21:59.55
It's veganic and sprouted
and what that means is that
00:21:59.58\00:22:02.98
it's totally vegan
00:22:03.02\00:22:04.65
and before they actually
turn this into rice Krispies,
00:22:04.69\00:22:08.16
they sprout the rice.
00:22:08.19\00:22:09.72
So, it has about
three ingredients
00:22:09.76\00:22:11.23
and that's kind of
what we're looking for.
00:22:11.26\00:22:13.19
We don't want a
lot of ingredients.
00:22:13.23\00:22:15.23
We want our food to be
our ingredients, right?
00:22:15.26\00:22:17.63
We'll be using
some almond butter
00:22:17.67\00:22:19.30
to replace traditional
butter in this recipe.
00:22:19.33\00:22:22.40
I'll be using
this brown rice syrup
00:22:22.44\00:22:24.34
which is wonderful,
00:22:24.37\00:22:26.71
it has a really
nice caramelly flavor,
00:22:26.74\00:22:29.18
and it's going to
be nice in this recipe.
00:22:29.21\00:22:31.51
And we'll also be
using some maple syrup
00:22:31.55\00:22:33.11
to give it just a little
bit of something special,
00:22:33.15\00:22:36.18
and then a pinch of salt.
00:22:36.22\00:22:38.25
Okay, so what we want to do is,
00:22:38.29\00:22:39.82
get our burner on
to about a medium high
00:22:39.85\00:22:43.83
and we're going to
pour in our almond butter.
00:22:43.86\00:22:46.09
We want this all to
blend really well together.
00:22:49.46\00:22:54.20
Okay, I'll let you
learn a little secret.
00:22:54.24\00:22:55.97
What I'm really making is
kind of like a caramel sauce.
00:22:56.00\00:23:00.08
So could you use
this as a caramel sauce?
00:23:00.11\00:23:02.18
Absolutely.
00:23:02.21\00:23:03.55
You could put this
little concoction we have here
00:23:03.58\00:23:06.21
over some popcorn, okay.
00:23:06.25\00:23:08.42
And then make some common corn,
00:23:08.45\00:23:10.59
but today we're
going to be using this
00:23:10.62\00:23:12.69
for Rice Krispie treats.
00:23:12.72\00:23:15.72
Maple syrup,
and a pinch of salt.
00:23:15.76\00:23:20.23
All right.
00:23:24.40\00:23:25.73
So I'm just going to go ahead,
00:23:25.77\00:23:28.14
stir this all together.
00:23:28.17\00:23:29.50
You don't want to burn this,
00:23:33.01\00:23:34.54
so you do want to stir it
00:23:34.58\00:23:38.25
constantly until
everything melts together.
00:23:38.28\00:23:40.32
Turn this down slightly.
00:23:44.05\00:23:46.39
We don't want to
spoil the almond butter.
00:23:46.42\00:23:48.76
Okay, and just like that
we have a great concoction.
00:23:56.67\00:24:00.97
And nice slurry to combine
our Rice Krispies together.
00:24:01.00\00:24:05.94
Turn this off,
remove it from the heat
00:24:05.97\00:24:09.24
and then add your Rice Krispies.
00:24:09.28\00:24:14.08
And make sure you
get everything coated.
00:24:14.12\00:24:15.68
And incidentally,
you don't have to use
00:24:23.09\00:24:24.89
Rice Krispies for
this if you don't have it.
00:24:24.93\00:24:27.33
Why not throw any kind
of cereal in here, cheerios.
00:24:27.36\00:24:30.93
And the other cool
thing with this recipe
00:24:30.97\00:24:32.73
is you could add
some great nuts to this,
00:24:32.77\00:24:35.40
you can add some raisins.
00:24:35.44\00:24:37.67
And this could be a
little breakfast bar for you.
00:24:37.71\00:24:41.74
But I like it
as an old fashioned
00:24:41.78\00:24:45.41
Rice Krispie treat,
00:24:45.45\00:24:47.45
that I thought
that once I went vegan,
00:24:47.48\00:24:49.92
I was going to give all that up,
00:24:49.95\00:24:51.79
but not anymore.
00:24:51.82\00:24:54.72
This is a great alternative.
00:24:54.76\00:24:57.33
Okay, so what I'm going to
do is I'm going to put this
00:24:57.36\00:25:00.13
into a springform pan.
00:25:00.16\00:25:01.73
Or you could just
add it to any kind of,
00:25:01.76\00:25:04.37
you know, dish that you like.
00:25:04.40\00:25:05.93
But there is nothing
like a springform pan.
00:25:05.97\00:25:07.74
As once this sets up,
then I can just take it off,
00:25:07.77\00:25:10.67
and it's really simple,
you can remove it, like so
00:25:10.71\00:25:14.04
and have your Rice
Krispies on a platter like that.
00:25:14.08\00:25:17.35
And the other cool thing
00:25:17.38\00:25:18.71
is you could
actually even frost this.
00:25:18.75\00:25:20.88
Can make it look like a cake,
so for those special occasions
00:25:20.92\00:25:24.75
when you have birthday parties
00:25:24.79\00:25:26.12
or however you want
to celebrate with a cake,
00:25:26.15\00:25:29.66
you could do it with
the Rice Krispie treat.
00:25:29.69\00:25:32.43
So let me put this back in here.
00:25:32.46\00:25:35.53
Pretty simple,
you just get it set,
00:25:35.56\00:25:38.70
and then tighten it up.
00:25:38.73\00:25:42.94
Okay, so let's add
this to our springform pan.
00:25:42.97\00:25:47.28
So, let's get this away.
00:25:47.31\00:25:50.68
You can see what I'm doing here.
00:25:50.71\00:25:54.08
You can get all that
goodness of the bottom here,
00:25:54.12\00:25:57.52
throw a lot of flavors.
00:25:57.55\00:25:59.65
Careful not to burn yourself.
00:25:59.69\00:26:01.32
All right, and the
reason I have gloves
00:26:04.46\00:26:06.73
is because it
can be little sticky
00:26:06.76\00:26:08.43
when you're trying
to form it into the pan.
00:26:08.46\00:26:11.27
But we could also
just use wax paper
00:26:11.30\00:26:13.90
and use it to help you
push down these Rice Krispies,
00:26:13.94\00:26:17.24
and we want to get
this nice and packed.
00:26:17.27\00:26:19.24
So I'm just going
to use my hands here.
00:26:19.27\00:26:22.24
And these gloves
work great for that.
00:26:22.28\00:26:25.58
So get that in nice and tight.
00:26:25.61\00:26:27.42
Okay, so what will
I do at this stage?
00:26:38.19\00:26:40.23
I'm going to put
this in the refrigerator
00:26:40.26\00:26:42.10
for about 20 minutes
just to let it set up
00:26:42.13\00:26:44.50
and get these bars so
that they'll be nice and cold
00:26:44.53\00:26:47.97
or you could use it at
this stage when it is warm
00:26:48.00\00:26:52.17
but it seems to be
a little bit better
00:26:52.21\00:26:53.64
when they're cold.
00:26:53.68\00:26:55.91
And you could
cheat a little bit too
00:26:55.94\00:26:57.38
and put it in the
freezer for about five minutes
00:26:57.41\00:26:59.91
and that will set up
really quickly for you.
00:26:59.95\00:27:02.68
Okay.
00:27:02.72\00:27:05.15
All right, so here is
our Rice Krispie treat.
00:27:05.19\00:27:07.72
And let me show me once I
take this springform pan off,
00:27:07.76\00:27:11.86
how lovely that
just sets up for you.
00:27:11.89\00:27:14.16
And have fun, decorate
this, do what you want.
00:27:14.20\00:27:16.87
Cut into squares, and
have a really nice treat
00:27:16.90\00:27:19.70
for all of your
friends and your family.
00:27:19.73\00:27:22.20
So enjoy.
00:27:22.24\00:27:23.61
