Hi, friends, and welcome
00:01:13.03\00:01:14.37
to another
edition of NEWSTART Now.
00:01:14.40\00:01:16.71
I'm your host Ron Giannoni.
00:01:16.74\00:01:19.61
In our studio, with me,
I have a lovely young lady
00:01:19.64\00:01:22.48
by the name of
Lindsay Vandenburgh
00:01:22.51\00:01:25.61
all the way from the
wonderful city of Napa
00:01:25.65\00:01:29.18
which is about an
hour drive by the way.
00:01:29.22\00:01:31.59
Let's take a look at
when she first arrived.
00:01:31.62\00:01:36.66
I have struggled with
depression my whole life
00:01:36.69\00:01:39.76
ever since I can
remember when I was real little.
00:01:39.79\00:01:44.13
But the last six or seven months
00:01:44.17\00:01:46.90
have kind of been a lot worse
00:01:46.94\00:01:50.01
and it started taking a
toll on my physical health,
00:01:50.04\00:01:54.61
and it was getting in the
way of my life in general,
00:01:54.64\00:01:58.85
so I needed help, so I came.
00:01:58.88\00:02:03.79
I want to be able to
manage depression and anxiety,
00:02:03.82\00:02:09.59
and I want to kind of feel 100%.
00:02:09.62\00:02:13.96
Welcome back, friends.
00:02:17.17\00:02:18.50
In our studio,
Lindsay, how are you?
00:02:18.53\00:02:20.74
Wow, trying to hurt me? No.
00:02:20.77\00:02:24.54
You're pretty strong. Thanks.
00:02:24.57\00:02:26.88
Well, how do you feel?
00:02:26.91\00:02:29.64
I feel good.
00:02:29.68\00:02:31.01
You feel good. Yeah.
00:02:31.05\00:02:32.81
You feel like you want to go out
00:02:32.85\00:02:34.48
and fight the world now?
00:02:34.52\00:02:36.05
Yeah.
00:02:36.08\00:02:38.69
All right, girl.
You got a great smile.
00:02:38.72\00:02:40.66
Thank you.
00:02:40.69\00:02:42.02
Yeah, it's contagious.
00:02:42.06\00:02:44.03
Thanks. Yeah.
00:02:44.06\00:02:45.79
So what did you like
most about the program here?
00:02:45.83\00:02:49.70
The spirituality, actually.
00:02:53.47\00:02:55.40
Really? Yeah.
00:02:55.44\00:02:57.81
I knew that that was
going to be an aspect
00:02:57.84\00:02:59.74
of this program
00:02:59.77\00:03:01.11
but that's not
what I came here for.
00:03:01.14\00:03:03.75
I kind of was
against religion, I guess.
00:03:03.78\00:03:08.28
So I didn't like it,
00:03:08.32\00:03:09.65
I didn't
understand it, that's why.
00:03:09.68\00:03:11.15
And I just...
00:03:11.19\00:03:14.59
The first meeting
was with Pastor Damon,
00:03:14.62\00:03:17.49
he kind of unscrambled
my thoughts quite a bit.
00:03:17.53\00:03:22.16
I saw him almost
every day for hours
00:03:22.20\00:03:24.07
talking to him about...
00:03:24.10\00:03:25.43
He's a wonderful man.
00:03:25.47\00:03:26.80
Yeah. He has helped me a lot.
00:03:26.84\00:03:28.30
He has helped you a
lot. I could see that.
00:03:28.34\00:03:30.17
You are glowing.
00:03:30.21\00:03:32.14
I hope the camera
could pick that up.
00:03:32.17\00:03:35.31
So when you first got
here, you were depressed.
00:03:35.34\00:03:40.42
You don't look
depressed to me. No.
00:03:40.45\00:03:43.69
I even have some
trouble at home right now,
00:03:43.72\00:03:46.52
some pretty big trouble
and I'm handling it pretty well
00:03:46.55\00:03:49.36
better than I would have, so.
00:03:49.39\00:03:52.56
Yeah, you talked to me about it.
00:03:52.59\00:03:53.93
We won't
mention that on the air.
00:03:53.96\00:03:56.06
Okay? Yeah.
00:03:56.10\00:03:57.60
All right, so what did you think
00:03:57.63\00:03:58.97
of the food here?
00:03:59.00\00:04:01.50
My first was...
00:04:01.54\00:04:03.30
I mean it was
always good from the start
00:04:03.34\00:04:05.21
but that was hard to
get used to a little bit.
00:04:05.24\00:04:07.61
Some of it I loved
00:04:07.64\00:04:08.98
and some of it was kind of okay.
00:04:09.01\00:04:10.58
Yeah.
00:04:10.61\00:04:11.95
And towards the
end, I was just like,
00:04:11.98\00:04:16.48
I like it.
00:04:16.52\00:04:18.22
I gotten quite used to it. Good.
00:04:18.25\00:04:21.52
And so you don't
think you'll have a problem
00:04:21.56\00:04:24.76
when you get back home?
00:04:24.79\00:04:26.29
No. I do have a
busy life at home.
00:04:26.33\00:04:29.23
So it'll be a change for me
00:04:29.26\00:04:31.83
to kind of
incorporate this program
00:04:31.87\00:04:35.40
with my life at home
that I'm sure I can do it.
00:04:35.44\00:04:38.64
You'll do it. Yeah.
00:04:38.67\00:04:40.01
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:40.04\00:04:42.51
Now you're
walking a lot these days?
00:04:42.54\00:04:45.38
Not as much as the
doctors want me to but...
00:04:45.41\00:04:48.28
Really, how kind.
00:04:48.32\00:04:51.69
I don't know.
00:04:51.72\00:04:53.36
I guess, well,
actually, a lot of my free time
00:04:53.39\00:04:57.19
I'm doing Bible study and stuff.
00:04:57.23\00:04:59.79
So I never
really think to go out,
00:04:59.83\00:05:02.96
but I walk now about
five or six miles a day.
00:05:03.00\00:05:08.44
And they want you
to do more on that?
00:05:08.47\00:05:09.97
Mm-hmm, for depression, yeah.
00:05:10.01\00:05:11.84
Oh, okay, all right.
00:05:11.87\00:05:13.48
How many miles
they want you to walk?
00:05:13.51\00:05:14.84
I don't know.
00:05:14.88\00:05:16.21
They didn't
really give me a maximum.
00:05:16.24\00:05:17.61
They just...
00:05:17.65\00:05:18.98
Every time they asked
me how much I'm walking
00:05:19.01\00:05:20.52
and I say about
five miles, they say
00:05:20.55\00:05:21.88
they want me to
do more than that.
00:05:21.92\00:05:24.15
Of course, they do.
00:05:24.19\00:05:25.69
And are you a fast walker?
00:05:25.72\00:05:27.16
How long does it
take you to walk a mile?
00:05:27.19\00:05:31.16
Like 15 minutes or less.
00:05:31.19\00:05:34.63
Whoa, then you're
a fast walker, yeah.
00:05:34.66\00:05:37.40
You're like my wife.
00:05:37.43\00:05:39.33
I can't walk
with her. She's got...
00:05:39.37\00:05:43.14
Her legs aren't any
longer, but she just,
00:05:43.17\00:05:45.21
or maybe they are.
00:05:45.24\00:05:46.88
My steps are shorter.
00:05:46.91\00:05:48.41
Oh, yeah, I've long legs.
00:05:48.44\00:05:49.94
You got long legs, I noticed.
00:05:49.98\00:05:52.01
And, you know,
00:05:52.05\00:05:53.38
I got to take a lot more steps
00:05:53.42\00:05:54.92
to keep up with her.
00:05:54.95\00:05:56.69
So I am burning
a lot more energy.
00:05:56.72\00:05:58.42
I guess that's a good thing.
00:05:58.45\00:05:59.79
Yeah. Yeah.
00:05:59.82\00:06:01.62
Well, you've got some
things to teach people
00:06:01.66\00:06:04.83
when you get back home?
00:06:04.86\00:06:06.19
Yeah.
00:06:06.23\00:06:07.56
Yeah, and you could be inspiring
00:06:07.60\00:06:09.36
a lot of folks that are
going to look at you and go,
00:06:09.40\00:06:13.40
"What happened?
00:06:13.44\00:06:14.77
What did you do?"
00:06:14.80\00:06:16.14
Yeah. What
would you say to them?
00:06:16.17\00:06:18.44
I would tell them about my diet
00:06:18.47\00:06:22.34
and how exercise is important,
00:06:22.38\00:06:24.58
and I'm most excited to
talk about the spiritual part.
00:06:24.61\00:06:28.15
Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:28.18\00:06:29.78
I hope you tell them
about the NEWSTART program.
00:06:29.82\00:06:32.09
Yeah. Little plug.
00:06:32.12\00:06:33.52
I've already
got a list of people
00:06:33.56\00:06:35.02
I want to recommend
coming here, and yeah.
00:06:35.06\00:06:37.39
Yeah.
00:06:37.43\00:06:38.76
All right. So your
doctor is doctor...?
00:06:38.79\00:06:44.00
Dr. Gallant. Yeah. Dr. Gallant.
00:06:44.03\00:06:46.37
Okay. We're going to
be interviewing him next.
00:06:46.40\00:06:49.97
And we'll be talking
about you, how you've...
00:06:50.01\00:06:52.47
Oh, no. Okay.
00:06:52.51\00:06:53.88
No, it's all good,
00:06:53.91\00:06:55.24
nothing more than what
we're talking about now.
00:06:55.28\00:07:01.78
What was your
favorite part of the program?
00:07:01.82\00:07:03.69
I noticed you said
that worship and prayer,
00:07:03.72\00:07:08.12
what else was there really
00:07:08.16\00:07:12.13
that you think was beneficial?
00:07:12.16\00:07:17.90
All the information
00:07:17.93\00:07:19.27
that they give
you about nutrition,
00:07:19.30\00:07:22.00
well, actually just all
the information in general,
00:07:22.04\00:07:24.14
but the nutrition
part was very helpful to me
00:07:24.17\00:07:28.34
because I didn't really
know that there's so many bad
00:07:28.38\00:07:34.12
or, you know, bad
things that I was eating.
00:07:34.15\00:07:37.09
At home, I was a huge meat eater
00:07:37.12\00:07:38.92
and I drink, like a
gallon of milk in three days.
00:07:38.95\00:07:42.22
I was...
00:07:42.26\00:07:44.56
So learning
everything about all of that
00:07:44.59\00:07:48.53
and how all of those
foods affect you and everything
00:07:48.56\00:07:52.97
kind of opened my eyes a bit.
00:07:53.00\00:07:54.70
And I feel a lot better
00:07:54.74\00:07:56.07
being on that diet physically.
00:07:56.10\00:07:58.24
Yes. So what have
you learned about milk?
00:07:58.27\00:08:03.14
I don't know if you
want me to tell you.
00:08:03.18\00:08:06.61
Why not? Lots of bad things.
00:08:06.65\00:08:07.98
I mean, I don't drink it.
00:08:08.02\00:08:11.29
The grossest
thing that I've learned
00:08:11.32\00:08:13.32
was that it's...
00:08:13.36\00:08:15.69
Well, so milk, if
you think about it
00:08:15.72\00:08:19.36
how humans,
when women breastfeed
00:08:19.39\00:08:22.36
the milk is full of
antibodies for the baby,
00:08:22.40\00:08:26.17
for a human baby.
00:08:26.20\00:08:27.54
Yes.
00:08:27.57\00:08:28.90
And so it's the
same for any animal,
00:08:28.94\00:08:31.41
it's giving the animal
what they need, you know.
00:08:31.44\00:08:35.41
And what's inside, to
give those antibodies,
00:08:35.44\00:08:39.28
it's not just, I
can't remember exactly,
00:08:39.31\00:08:41.48
it's not just milk but
it's basically like puss,
00:08:41.52\00:08:45.92
I guess.
00:08:45.95\00:08:48.46
That is pretty
gross. Thanks for sharing.
00:08:48.49\00:08:50.26
Yeah.
00:08:50.29\00:08:52.16
Well, doesn't it leach
calcium from your bones?
00:08:52.19\00:08:55.20
Yeah, they say that
milk is good for your bones
00:08:55.23\00:09:01.74
but that's just
a marketing thing.
00:09:01.77\00:09:04.01
It's not true. Yeah. Yeah.
00:09:04.04\00:09:06.01
A lot of people
are going to thank you
00:09:06.04\00:09:07.51
'cause I know there's
several people watching this,
00:09:07.54\00:09:11.01
may be millions.
00:09:11.05\00:09:12.38
Yeah.
00:09:12.41\00:09:13.75
That doesn't scare you, does it?
00:09:13.78\00:09:15.12
It does, it does.
00:09:15.15\00:09:16.82
It's okay.
00:09:16.85\00:09:19.12
Yeah, so and then
00:09:19.15\00:09:20.72
meat you've learned is
not the healthiest choice.
00:09:20.76\00:09:24.79
I mean, come on,
there's mad cow disease,
00:09:24.83\00:09:27.66
there's bird flu.
00:09:27.70\00:09:29.60
And when I was a boy,
00:09:29.63\00:09:31.13
in the fish and
poultry business,
00:09:31.17\00:09:32.93
I remember cutting
out sores from fish
00:09:32.97\00:09:36.71
in the '40s and '50s
00:09:36.74\00:09:38.71
that were gross
then, it's no better today.
00:09:38.74\00:09:41.88
Yeah, they've said that when,
00:09:41.91\00:09:45.01
you know, they're slaughtering
00:09:45.05\00:09:46.38
the animals,
they're killing a chicken
00:09:46.41\00:09:48.98
and then they're taking
all the feathers off, whatever,
00:09:49.02\00:09:51.42
if they see
something suspicious,
00:09:51.45\00:09:54.22
like a lump, they'll
just kind of chop it off
00:09:54.26\00:09:57.53
and then send the rest out,
00:09:57.56\00:09:59.93
like the animals
could have cancer,
00:09:59.96\00:10:01.93
just be filled with
toxins and everything.
00:10:01.96\00:10:04.50
And they just take away
00:10:04.53\00:10:05.87
a little suspicious
part and then sell the rest.
00:10:05.90\00:10:09.07
Cut up the rest.
00:10:09.10\00:10:10.44
Yeah. That's why
you can't ever find...
00:10:10.47\00:10:12.47
You don't really find like
a whole chicken in the store,
00:10:12.51\00:10:14.68
it's always in little
pieces everywhere because...
00:10:14.71\00:10:17.35
Yeah. Yeah. So I
remember those days.
00:10:17.38\00:10:21.25
You cut out the bad
part, cut up the rest,
00:10:21.28\00:10:24.29
package it as parts.
00:10:24.32\00:10:26.19
Yeah.
00:10:26.22\00:10:27.99
And people will be
buying and eating toxin foods.
00:10:28.02\00:10:32.23
Well, I want to thank
you for being courageous
00:10:32.26\00:10:35.96
to let us interview you.
00:10:36.00\00:10:37.77
Of course.
00:10:37.80\00:10:39.13
You're a delight.
00:10:39.17\00:10:40.50
I know that many people
00:10:40.54\00:10:42.24
who are dealing with
depression and anxiety
00:10:42.27\00:10:45.24
are watching this and going,
00:10:45.27\00:10:47.18
"Wow, she could
do it. I can do it."
00:10:47.21\00:10:49.14
Yeah. So thank you, Lindsay.
00:10:49.18\00:10:50.68
Okay.
00:10:50.71\00:10:52.11
Wow! That grip.
00:10:52.15\00:10:53.92
And thank you, friends.
00:10:53.95\00:10:55.98
Don't go away, Dr.
Gallant is up next.
00:10:56.02\00:11:02.19
Every year in America,
00:11:02.22\00:11:03.56
there are over
one million deaths
00:11:03.59\00:11:04.93
because of type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:11:04.96\00:11:07.83
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:11:07.86\00:11:10.27
That's six and a half
747s crashing every day.
00:11:10.30\00:11:13.77
What's even worse is
that the fix is easy,
00:11:13.80\00:11:17.14
it's your lifestyle.
00:11:17.17\00:11:18.57
Wouldn't it be nice
00:11:18.61\00:11:19.94
if you could actually add
quality years to your life
00:11:19.97\00:11:21.88
rather than dying
one organ at a time?
00:11:21.91\00:11:24.91
Obesity and
diabetes are the cause
00:11:24.95\00:11:26.58
of over a
million deaths per year.
00:11:26.61\00:11:29.15
Most diseases are reversible
00:11:29.18\00:11:31.22
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:11:31.25\00:11:34.12
especially, type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:11:34.16\00:11:37.63
Seriously, now
they can be reversed
00:11:37.66\00:11:39.83
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.

Welcome back, friends,
00:12:03.85\00:12:05.19
and help me welcome Dr. Gallant.
00:12:05.22\00:12:07.69
Nice to be here, Ron.
00:12:07.72\00:12:09.06
And good to see you. Yes.
00:12:09.09\00:12:10.83
So I am going to talk
about Lindsay, obviously.
00:12:10.86\00:12:14.33
You know, when
she first came here,
00:12:14.36\00:12:16.97
as you know, she
was a little down and...
00:12:17.00\00:12:20.50
But tell us more from
your doctor's perspective,
00:12:20.54\00:12:25.41
what you see that
was really happening?
00:12:25.44\00:12:28.54
Was it this spiritual need?
00:12:28.58\00:12:31.51
You know, Lindsay didn't
have a lot of physical element,
00:12:31.55\00:12:34.18
she's a young lady.
00:12:34.22\00:12:36.32
And I think, that
00:12:36.35\00:12:39.79
it could have been a
little intimating for her
00:12:39.82\00:12:41.52
to be here with
people older than herself,
00:12:41.56\00:12:45.09
but she came here
00:12:45.13\00:12:47.86
and the thing that I appreciated
00:12:47.90\00:12:49.23
so significantly
about her was that
00:12:49.26\00:12:51.83
she was willing to do all
the things we asked her to.
00:12:51.87\00:12:56.91
And I really feel that she
was in a spiritual condition
00:12:56.94\00:13:01.28
that needed healing.
00:13:01.31\00:13:02.64
Yeah.
00:13:02.68\00:13:04.01
And while she was
here, she got that
00:13:04.05\00:13:07.18
and it was such a blessing
to see the changes in her
00:13:07.22\00:13:11.05
and to see how her
countenance was different,
00:13:11.09\00:13:14.39
and it just
really was a blessing.
00:13:14.42\00:13:17.13
But I was very refreshed
00:13:17.16\00:13:18.49
by how somebody as
young as her was willing
00:13:18.53\00:13:21.36
to do things that
we asked her to do.
00:13:21.40\00:13:24.73
I noticed after a
few days of being here,
00:13:24.77\00:13:27.24
I saw her
walking wherever it was
00:13:27.27\00:13:30.94
and she had this big
smile, she was just glowing.
00:13:30.97\00:13:33.71
Yes.
00:13:33.74\00:13:35.08
And I was like, "Wow,
this isn't the same girl."
00:13:35.11\00:13:36.58
No, no. You know?
00:13:36.61\00:13:39.18
It's a rich blessing.
00:13:39.21\00:13:40.55
She's just doing amazingly well.
00:13:40.58\00:13:41.95
Yes. I am so happy for her.
00:13:41.98\00:13:43.32
Yes.
00:13:43.35\00:13:44.69
So what's the prognosis?
What does she need to do now?
00:13:44.72\00:13:49.29
For viewers who
are, perhaps, her age
00:13:49.32\00:13:53.06
that maybe
suffer from a little bit
00:13:53.09\00:13:54.86
of anxiety or depression,
what would you say to them?
00:13:54.90\00:13:59.17
What we find is
that lifestyle change
00:13:59.20\00:14:01.70
makes a big difference.
00:14:01.74\00:14:03.34
So I would say to you
that if you're of that age,
00:14:03.37\00:14:06.11
you have these
similar types of conditions,
00:14:06.14\00:14:09.28
understand that by
changing your lifestyle,
00:14:09.31\00:14:11.95
and that's more
than just what you eat,
00:14:11.98\00:14:14.88
that also includes making sure
that you get adequate sleep,
00:14:14.92\00:14:18.82
making sure that you exercise,
00:14:18.85\00:14:21.22
making sure that
you hydrate your body,
00:14:21.26\00:14:23.86
all of the eight
principles that we deal with.
00:14:23.89\00:14:26.66
If you are willing
to make some changes,
00:14:26.70\00:14:29.46
by the grace of God,
00:14:29.50\00:14:30.83
I believe that you are
able to reap some blessings
00:14:30.87\00:14:34.37
and change your life.
00:14:34.40\00:14:37.14
So you're saying
00:14:37.17\00:14:38.64
it's not only what you're eating
00:14:38.67\00:14:40.68
but what's eating you.
00:14:40.71\00:14:42.18
Exactly, exactly.
00:14:42.21\00:14:44.01
Kind of like, I
heard that somewhere.
00:14:44.05\00:14:45.38
Yes, it's true.
00:14:45.41\00:14:47.65
Well, she's obviously
come to grips with some issues
00:14:47.68\00:14:52.62
she had been dealing with.
00:14:52.65\00:14:55.02
I'm not at liberty
to say what they are
00:14:55.06\00:14:57.19
'cause I don't
know what they are.
00:14:57.23\00:14:59.23
Nonetheless,
it's really apparent
00:14:59.26\00:15:01.86
that through
lifestyle change, someone who...
00:15:01.90\00:15:05.63
Number one, someone so young
could have any difficulties.
00:15:05.67\00:15:09.20
When I was 19, I
was on top of the world.
00:15:09.24\00:15:11.51
I know, I know.
00:15:11.54\00:15:12.87
And to see that just
kind of broke my heart
00:15:12.91\00:15:16.11
when we first interviewed her.
00:15:16.14\00:15:17.55
Yes.
00:15:17.58\00:15:18.91
But I see a
good positive change,
00:15:18.95\00:15:21.18
and I know that
we pray for her daily
00:15:21.22\00:15:25.15
and all our guests.
00:15:25.19\00:15:26.52
Yes.
00:15:26.55\00:15:27.89
And I think, that's so important
00:15:27.92\00:15:30.19
because with our chaplain
here, who is Damon Snead.
00:15:30.23\00:15:37.03
Yes.
00:15:37.07\00:15:38.40
He's a wonderful man
00:15:38.43\00:15:39.77
and he's able to pull
people out of the doldrums.
00:15:39.80\00:15:43.41
And I am constantly hearing,
00:15:43.44\00:15:45.97
now I want to talk
about him for a minute.
00:15:46.01\00:15:47.48
Sure.
00:15:47.51\00:15:48.84
...constantly hearing
what a wonderful guy he is.
00:15:48.88\00:15:52.11
Usually, our doctors
are getting all that,
00:15:52.15\00:15:54.05
"Wow, I got Dr.
Gallant or I got Dr. Lukens."
00:15:54.08\00:15:57.49
But in this particular case,
00:15:57.52\00:15:59.42
since he's been here,
I'm noticing more, kudos,
00:15:59.45\00:16:04.73
if you will, to he and his work.
00:16:04.76\00:16:07.86
Yes. He does a great job.
00:16:07.90\00:16:09.66
You know, he does
a morning devotional
00:16:09.70\00:16:12.03
that we call "Fresh Start",
in the morning, about 7 am,
00:16:12.07\00:16:16.30
and it's a great
way to start the day.
00:16:16.34\00:16:19.64
And he has a real
gift of helping people
00:16:19.67\00:16:24.11
with their spiritual issues.
00:16:24.15\00:16:26.21
And we have had so many guests
00:16:26.25\00:16:28.35
who have come
through the program,
00:16:28.38\00:16:30.09
who have just not only
received physical healing
00:16:30.12\00:16:34.12
but also spiritual healing
00:16:34.16\00:16:35.92
and that
combination is so powerful,
00:16:35.96\00:16:38.09
it gives you lasting change,
it gives you lasting health.
00:16:38.13\00:16:43.53
Nothing greater.
Nothing greater, absolutely.
00:16:43.57\00:16:46.10
You know, Dr.
Lukens had been telling me,
00:16:46.13\00:16:48.27
"You got to go listen to Damon."
00:16:48.30\00:16:51.07
I go, "Yeah, well, you know,
00:16:51.11\00:16:52.57
he's just another
pastor, whatever."
00:16:52.61\00:16:54.81
That was my attitude. Right.
00:16:54.84\00:16:56.85
Well, a couple of weeks ago,
00:16:56.88\00:16:59.28
I went to a sermon
he did on campus here.
00:16:59.31\00:17:02.68
And I was just blown away. Yeah.
00:17:02.72\00:17:04.99
I was so, so excited.
00:17:05.02\00:17:10.76
He was speaking
of the Holy Spirit
00:17:10.79\00:17:12.63
and the time we have left,
00:17:12.66\00:17:15.26
that the world is
fastly coming to an end.
00:17:15.30\00:17:19.20
Yes, it is.
00:17:19.23\00:17:20.57
He was talking
about Ellen White's vision
00:17:20.60\00:17:23.20
she had of the train,
you've heard that, right?
00:17:23.24\00:17:25.47
Yes, yes.
00:17:25.51\00:17:26.94
And may be some of you out there
00:17:26.98\00:17:28.31
have heard it too.
00:17:28.34\00:17:29.68
But when he described this,
00:17:29.71\00:17:31.05
'cause I read it many
years ago when I was baptized
00:17:31.08\00:17:33.85
but he says, this
train has loaded with,
00:17:33.88\00:17:36.25
and everybody on
the train you know,
00:17:36.28\00:17:39.15
and where are they going?
00:17:39.19\00:17:41.29
They have been wooed
by this lovely conductor
00:17:41.32\00:17:45.33
who is none other
than Satan himself.
00:17:45.36\00:17:49.96
And the sad news is
he's taking them where?
00:17:50.00\00:17:54.04
Place we don't want to go.
00:17:54.07\00:17:55.40
A place we don't
want to go. That's right.
00:17:55.44\00:17:57.31
Anyway, I am kind
of off the subject here
00:17:57.34\00:17:59.77
but not really
because it's such an impact
00:17:59.81\00:18:04.65
that the spiritual
aspects of this place,
00:18:04.68\00:18:08.25
of this program do
so much for so many.
00:18:08.28\00:18:12.32
It's true.
00:18:12.35\00:18:13.69
And again, in
Lindsay's case, just...
00:18:13.72\00:18:16.99
And Lindsay didn't
have a lot of health issues,
00:18:17.03\00:18:20.26
but by taking to heart the
things that we recommended,
00:18:20.30\00:18:26.40
she had
improvement in her health.
00:18:26.43\00:18:28.70
Her cholesterol wasn't high
00:18:28.74\00:18:31.44
but it dropped by
more than 40 points.
00:18:31.47\00:18:35.04
Isn't that interesting?
00:18:35.08\00:18:36.41
She was healthy
00:18:36.44\00:18:38.75
but she was able
to exercise more.
00:18:38.78\00:18:41.28
She'd had a
previous injury from exercise
00:18:41.32\00:18:44.59
and got some
improvement in that as well.
00:18:44.62\00:18:47.92
So I praise God
that she was willing
00:18:47.96\00:18:50.09
to take to heart being
here and this opportunity,
00:18:50.13\00:18:54.13
and I praise God
for how He blessed
00:18:54.16\00:18:55.86
while she was here.
00:18:55.90\00:18:57.47
You know, when I
praise God for you,
00:18:57.50\00:19:00.10
I praise God for you,
for Dr. Lukens, Dr. Kuninobu,
00:19:00.14\00:19:04.61
Dr. Nedley, Dr. Bevan,
00:19:04.64\00:19:06.71
we got more doctors
here than the hospital does.
00:19:06.74\00:19:09.11
Yeah.
00:19:09.14\00:19:10.48
But you guys have
this different perspective,
00:19:10.51\00:19:13.68
and I used the term,
guys, you know what I mean.
00:19:13.72\00:19:18.09
That you are not just
MDs, you're like pastors,
00:19:18.12\00:19:23.83
like preachers, if you will,
00:19:23.86\00:19:26.19
and you take care of the
individual that comes here
00:19:26.23\00:19:31.03
'cause each one of you
00:19:31.07\00:19:32.40
are assigned
several guests, right?
00:19:32.43\00:19:34.50
That's right. That's correct.
00:19:34.54\00:19:35.87
And you take care
of these people's soul
00:19:35.90\00:19:39.21
as well as their
physical being and I just...
00:19:39.24\00:19:43.65
I think that's the best
of all world right there.
00:19:43.68\00:19:45.98
And I do too.
00:19:46.01\00:19:47.35
I wouldn't want to practice
any other way, you know.
00:19:47.38\00:19:49.32
Yeah. I know that
because you're here.
00:19:49.35\00:19:51.49
That's right.
00:19:51.52\00:19:52.85
I mean you could be out
there making 350 grand a year,
00:19:52.89\00:19:55.99
like a lot of these guys do.
00:19:56.02\00:19:58.23
But nonetheless,
00:19:58.26\00:20:00.20
you're here and I am
thankful that you are.
00:20:00.23\00:20:02.56
Praise the Lord.
00:20:02.60\00:20:03.93
And by the way, I
think it's appropriate to say
00:20:03.97\00:20:06.67
that you are the
medical director here
00:20:06.70\00:20:09.40
at the NEWSTART program
00:20:09.44\00:20:10.87
and you have been
for a couple of years.
00:20:10.91\00:20:12.51
Yes, that's right.
00:20:12.54\00:20:13.88
And I notice a
change that is coming about,
00:20:13.91\00:20:18.21
well, within entire
staff, the entire campus.
00:20:18.25\00:20:21.75
Yes, yeah.
00:20:21.78\00:20:23.12
But nonetheless, any line,
00:20:23.15\00:20:24.49
we got a few
seconds left, any...
00:20:24.52\00:20:25.89
Well, I just praise the Lord
for the opportunity to be here.
00:20:25.92\00:20:28.49
I praise the Lord for you
00:20:28.52\00:20:29.86
and the rest of
our NEWSTART team.
00:20:29.89\00:20:32.13
And you know, I
really think that,
00:20:32.16\00:20:35.06
as we work as a team,
we see God's blessings
00:20:35.10\00:20:37.67
and He's been blessing,
and so we're thankful for that.
00:20:37.70\00:20:40.24
So I just praise God.
00:20:40.27\00:20:42.20
Thank you, doc.
00:20:42.24\00:20:43.57
Good to see you,
Ron. Good to see you too.
00:20:43.61\00:20:45.44
Friends, thank
you. Don't go away.
00:20:45.47\00:20:47.14
We have a tip for
you following this.
00:20:47.18\00:20:50.75
When we look at
the health status
00:20:50.78\00:20:52.21
of Americans today,
it's alarming to see
00:20:52.25\00:20:54.65
that 60% are either
overweight or obese.
00:20:54.68\00:20:58.42
In addition, diseases
such as type 2 diabetes,
00:21:03.43\00:21:06.33
cancer, and heart
disorders are the leading cause
00:21:06.36\00:21:08.80
of so many complications
and deaths every year.
00:21:08.83\00:21:11.77
Could it have something
to do with what we eat?
00:21:16.24\00:21:18.91
After all, every
one in four Americans
00:21:18.94\00:21:21.48
visit a fast
food restaurant daily,
00:21:21.51\00:21:23.58
and with such easy
access to quick-fix foods,
00:21:23.61\00:21:27.25
we tend to forget
the poor health value
00:21:27.28\00:21:29.25
those foods actually offer.
00:21:29.28\00:21:32.19
May be it's the
sedentary lifestyle
00:21:32.22\00:21:34.06
and lack of exercise
00:21:34.09\00:21:35.42
that we've
become so accustomed to
00:21:35.46\00:21:36.96
as a media-dependent world.
00:21:36.99\00:21:39.53
Whatever the
cause of these diseases,
00:21:39.56\00:21:41.43
a solution has arrived.
00:21:41.46\00:21:45.73
The NEWSTART lifestyle
center offers enriching program
00:21:45.77\00:21:49.10
where patients can get a healing
00:21:49.14\00:21:50.64
of mind, body, and soul.
00:21:50.67\00:21:53.01
Located in the
outskirts of Sacramento,
00:21:53.04\00:21:55.44
the NEWSTART center is
situated on the beautiful campus
00:21:55.48\00:21:58.61
of Weimar Center of
Health and Education
00:21:58.65\00:22:01.45
with scenic walking and
hiking trails all around.
00:22:01.48\00:22:05.32
With the whole plant
foods eaten whole motto,
00:22:05.35\00:22:08.52
the NEWSTART center promotes
a healthy plant-based diet
00:22:08.56\00:22:11.59
with emphasis on natural foods.
00:22:11.63\00:22:14.20
The NEWSTART staff
00:22:14.23\00:22:15.56
are made up of California
board certified nurses,
00:22:15.60\00:22:18.67
doctors,
dieticians, and therapists
00:22:18.70\00:22:21.64
who work together to
assist each patient personally.
00:22:21.67\00:22:25.07
The staff are dedicated
00:22:25.11\00:22:26.44
to each patient's
success in the program
00:22:26.47\00:22:28.54
and are always there to
guide, advice, and encourage.
00:22:28.58\00:22:32.55
In addition to a
healthy lifestyle,
00:22:32.58\00:22:34.58
NEWSTART also promotes a
healthy exercise routine.
00:22:34.62\00:22:37.75
You're both in
sequence, that's good.
00:22:37.79\00:22:39.59
All right.
00:22:39.62\00:22:40.96
As part of the bounce program,
00:22:40.99\00:22:42.32
there is much opportunity
00:22:42.36\00:22:43.69
to get in the fair
share of physical activity
00:22:43.73\00:22:46.09
from utilizing
our fitness center
00:22:46.13\00:22:49.46
to taking a stroll around
the peaceful grounds of Weimar.
00:22:49.50\00:22:52.03
It's amazing what a
new start can do for you.
00:22:52.07\00:22:56.91
Welcome to NEWSTART Now.
00:22:56.94\00:22:58.64
I am Dr. Neil Nedley,
President of Weimar Institute,
00:22:58.67\00:23:01.44
and with me today
is Dr. Eddie Ramirez,
00:23:01.48\00:23:03.61
one of our researchers
and physicians and teachers
00:23:03.65\00:23:06.45
of research here
at Weimar College.
00:23:06.48\00:23:09.82
And in fact, the study
00:23:09.85\00:23:11.35
we're going to be
talking to you about today...
00:23:11.39\00:23:14.42
We had help from one
of our college students,
00:23:14.46\00:23:17.29
Katie and Tuna,
00:23:17.33\00:23:19.13
who actually has
been very instrumental
00:23:19.16\00:23:22.00
and actually helping
out with the depression
00:23:22.03\00:23:24.57
and anxiety
recovery program on campus.
00:23:24.60\00:23:28.47
But in this particular study,
00:23:28.50\00:23:29.90
we were looking at a factor
called emotional intelligence
00:23:29.94\00:23:35.44
and, you know, Dr. Ramirez,
00:23:35.48\00:23:37.05
I was just seeing
in Forbes magazine,
00:23:37.08\00:23:39.11
they recommend that you
hire for emotional intelligence
00:23:39.15\00:23:42.18
even more so than
general intelligence,
00:23:42.22\00:23:44.95
that this has much more to
do with your future success
00:23:44.99\00:23:47.92
and happiness and your
ability to stay employed
00:23:47.96\00:23:50.93
and to reach higher
levels of employment.
00:23:50.96\00:23:54.50
And so Dr. Ramirez,
00:23:54.53\00:23:56.50
this study is coming out
in Biological Psychiatry.
00:23:56.53\00:24:00.84
And the interesting thing is,
00:24:00.87\00:24:03.81
what we put into our
body, what we do with our body
00:24:03.84\00:24:06.91
actually has to do
with our brain chemistry
00:24:06.94\00:24:09.21
and it can change the
biology in the brain itself.
00:24:09.24\00:24:13.28
And that's what
this study showed
00:24:13.31\00:24:14.75
and why it was published
in Biological Psychiatry.
00:24:14.78\00:24:17.69
So tell us a little bit
about the study group itself
00:24:17.72\00:24:23.53
who has studied in this
emotional intelligence data.
00:24:23.56\00:24:26.93
We have a very nice sample group
00:24:26.96\00:24:29.06
of 5,611 participants
00:24:29.10\00:24:33.30
that did the community-based
depression recovery program
00:24:33.34\00:24:38.77
in literally around the world.
00:24:38.81\00:24:40.91
Okay, so these subjects
00:24:40.94\00:24:43.58
were not at Weimar
Institute, per say,
00:24:43.61\00:24:46.51
but they were coming to
learn Weimar type of principles
00:24:46.55\00:24:50.82
and they were
particularly coming
00:24:50.85\00:24:53.15
because they had
depression, is that right?
00:24:53.19\00:24:55.99
Yes, three-quarters
of them had depression,
00:24:56.02\00:24:58.29
one-quarter of them didn't have,
00:24:58.33\00:25:00.26
but wanted to
improve their mental health.
00:25:00.30\00:25:02.43
Okay, so most of them came
with significant depression,
00:25:02.46\00:25:06.33
and this is a mental
health education program
00:25:06.37\00:25:09.30
they are coming to.
00:25:09.34\00:25:12.31
How many
educational sessions are there?
00:25:12.34\00:25:14.51
That's right. It is
an eight week program.
00:25:14.54\00:25:17.61
So they had eight sessions,
and one program in particular,
00:25:17.65\00:25:22.88
we focus in helping
them understand this concept
00:25:22.92\00:25:26.35
and how to improve it.
00:25:26.39\00:25:28.16
But not only that was important,
00:25:28.19\00:25:31.63
but we had to
put the foundations
00:25:31.66\00:25:33.66
before we talk about EQ
and these type of concepts,
00:25:33.70\00:25:37.03
we had to change their diet,
00:25:37.07\00:25:38.40
we had to put them
through the exercise,
00:25:38.43\00:25:40.97
and so forth to prepare
the environment for them
00:25:41.00\00:25:43.24
to understand these concepts.
00:25:43.27\00:25:45.24
Well, that's quite interesting,
00:25:45.27\00:25:47.21
and so we do first some changes
00:25:47.24\00:25:50.15
in what were they
putting into their body,
00:25:50.18\00:25:52.05
what they're
doing with their body
00:25:52.08\00:25:53.42
that helps change the biology.
00:25:53.45\00:25:55.58
And then we get
into teaching them
00:25:55.62\00:25:57.55
about how they're
thinking and how we think
00:25:57.59\00:26:01.19
can actually change our
brain chemistry as well.
00:26:01.22\00:26:04.16
And so emotional intelligence,
can you tell us what it is?
00:26:04.19\00:26:07.83
Yes. It's that ability for
you to interact with others
00:26:07.86\00:26:12.53
and to motivate yourself.
00:26:12.57\00:26:14.17
There's five things
00:26:14.20\00:26:15.54
that emotional
intelligence measures
00:26:15.57\00:26:16.94
and that is
knowing your emotions,
00:26:16.97\00:26:18.87
managing your emotions,
00:26:18.91\00:26:20.58
recognizing emotions in others,
00:26:20.61\00:26:22.44
managing
relationships and others,
00:26:22.48\00:26:24.38
and motivating
yourself to reach those goals.
00:26:24.41\00:26:27.78
Okay, so you can see
00:26:27.82\00:26:29.15
why it's very
important to happiness
00:26:29.18\00:26:30.65
because
relationship is connected
00:26:30.69\00:26:33.66
to our happiness and
healthy relationships are.
00:26:33.69\00:26:36.79
And so what did we find out?
00:26:36.83\00:26:38.16
What was the average
emotional intelligence
00:26:38.19\00:26:40.23
for those that
came into the program?
00:26:40.26\00:26:41.96
So on average, they had 100,
00:26:42.00\00:26:44.80
which is the normal
average around the world.
00:26:44.83\00:26:48.30
Okay, so even
though they were depressed,
00:26:48.34\00:26:50.41
their EQ was on average
right at the average point,
00:26:50.44\00:26:54.38
like 100.
00:26:54.41\00:26:55.88
And what was able to happen
during the course of that,
00:26:55.91\00:26:59.18
just one program, once
a week, for eight weeks.
00:26:59.21\00:27:01.88
That's right, at the end,
00:27:01.92\00:27:03.25
they had on
average an EQ of 108.9.
00:27:03.28\00:27:09.39
Okay. So they
went up nine points.
00:27:09.42\00:27:12.13
That's like an
entire standard deviation,
00:27:12.16\00:27:15.40
that's very significant.
00:27:15.43\00:27:16.77
And that's the average.
00:27:16.80\00:27:18.13
There are some that actually
went beyond 120 barrier,
00:27:18.17\00:27:24.11
so that puts them
in the very top levels
00:27:24.14\00:27:27.21
of emotional intelligence.
00:27:27.24\00:27:28.74
Wow, and that means
00:27:28.78\00:27:30.11
they not only left the
program depression-free
00:27:30.15\00:27:32.98
and anxiety-free, as many
do that leave that program,
00:27:33.01\00:27:37.12
but they're now set
up for levels of success
00:27:37.15\00:27:39.72
that are far better than people
00:27:39.75\00:27:41.19
who've never had
depression and anxiety.
00:27:41.22\00:27:43.09
Yeah, those people that
usually in a group setting,
00:27:43.12\00:27:45.73
they are causing
sparks all over them,
00:27:45.76\00:27:48.83
those people have actually
00:27:48.86\00:27:50.20
a very low
emotional intelligence.
00:27:50.23\00:27:51.97
You can have low
emotional intelligence
00:27:52.00\00:27:54.10
and high IQ,
00:27:54.14\00:27:55.64
and this one helps
you to get that balance,
00:27:55.67\00:27:58.27
you know, improve that IQ and EQ
00:27:58.31\00:28:00.84
as you
participate in the program.
00:28:00.88\00:28:03.08
From NEWSTART Now,
I am Dr. Neil Nedley.
00:28:03.11\00:28:05.85
Join us again next week
for another exciting study.
00:28:05.88\00:28:08.95
