Hi, friends, and
welcome to another edition
00:01:12.07\00:01:14.27
of NEWSTART Now.
00:01:14.30\00:01:15.97
I'm your host, Ron Giannoni.
00:01:16.00\00:01:18.57
In our studios, we
have a lovely young lady
00:01:18.61\00:01:22.04
from halfway around the world
00:01:22.08\00:01:24.01
and I want to take a look
at when she first arrived.
00:01:24.05\00:01:29.95
Here to try to
reduce my sugar level
00:01:29.98\00:01:33.32
and to lose weight,
00:01:33.36\00:01:34.79
and those were the main
reasons I came to NEWSTART,
00:01:34.82\00:01:38.26
because with work
and everything in life
00:01:38.29\00:01:41.20
I guess I don't have time,
a lot of time to, you know,
00:01:41.23\00:01:45.53
invest in myself
and become healthy
00:01:45.57\00:01:47.97
and lose that weight.
00:01:48.00\00:01:49.70
So I...
00:01:49.74\00:01:51.07
Especially with work,
00:01:51.11\00:01:52.97
I'm the type of person
that eats when I'm stressed,
00:01:53.01\00:01:56.08
so the more stress
then the more I eat.
00:01:56.11\00:01:57.78
So, yeah, coming here is
00:01:57.81\00:02:01.75
kind of investing in
myself in becoming more healthy,
00:02:01.78\00:02:05.12
not just for myself
but for my daughter.
00:02:05.15\00:02:08.02
You know, she's still five.
00:02:08.06\00:02:09.39
So, you know, I
got to at least see her
00:02:09.42\00:02:11.79
until she graduates high
school and goes off to college
00:02:11.83\00:02:14.96
and I want to
see my sugar levels
00:02:15.00\00:02:17.87
go down below 100.
00:02:17.90\00:02:19.83
That's one.
00:02:19.87\00:02:21.90
Losing weight, becoming thin
is not so much a goal for me
00:02:21.94\00:02:24.97
but, and gets
feeling better, like,
00:02:25.01\00:02:27.78
having a positive
outlook about things, you know.
00:02:27.81\00:02:31.08
Yeah.
00:02:31.11\00:02:33.62
Welcome back, friends.
00:02:33.65\00:02:34.98
Help me welcome
Bouveau Anastacia.
00:02:35.02\00:02:38.39
Thank you, Ron. Thank you. Yes.
00:02:38.42\00:02:40.06
Did I say that
right? It's good to be here.
00:02:40.09\00:02:41.42
Anastacio.
00:02:41.46\00:02:42.79
Anastacio. Yeah.
00:02:42.82\00:02:44.16
Well, I'm Italian
and what you gonna do?
00:02:44.19\00:02:47.16
I want to get
the Italian accent.
00:02:47.20\00:02:48.76
Right. Right.
00:02:48.80\00:02:50.13
But Anastacio, that's
pretty, that's Italian.
00:02:50.17\00:02:54.77
You must be part Italian anyway.
00:02:54.80\00:02:57.07
No, I'm just kidding.
00:02:57.11\00:02:58.44
Perhaps, maybe I'm.
00:02:58.47\00:03:01.64
You know, you're so bubbly.
00:03:01.68\00:03:05.61
What is going on here?
00:03:05.65\00:03:06.98
Why are you so happy?
00:03:07.02\00:03:08.35
I don't know.
00:03:08.38\00:03:09.72
I just, I feel, I
feel really light lately
00:03:09.75\00:03:11.85
and I'm just like,
I'm flying all over,
00:03:11.89\00:03:13.96
I can't stop smiling.
00:03:13.99\00:03:15.32
Yeah, I know.
00:03:15.36\00:03:17.43
We're calling that
pomegranate. Pomegranate.
00:03:17.46\00:03:21.56
So tell us what
country you're from?
00:03:21.60\00:03:25.00
Well, I'm from a small island
in the Western most Pacific,
00:03:25.03\00:03:29.14
Northwest Pacific,
called the Republic of Palau.
00:03:29.17\00:03:32.51
Palau? Yes, Palau.
00:03:32.54\00:03:34.04
It's very near
to the Philippines.
00:03:34.08\00:03:36.24
Yes, I know where it's at. Yep.
00:03:36.28\00:03:39.11
Because Dr. Bivens...
00:03:39.15\00:03:40.72
Have you met Dr. Bivens?
Yes, I've met Dr. Bivens.
00:03:40.75\00:03:42.82
He's been to Palau on
a couple of occasions.
00:03:42.85\00:03:46.12
He was there for a
couple hours and then flew back.
00:03:46.15\00:03:48.76
I said, why you're doing that?
00:03:48.79\00:03:51.43
Yeah, he's told me
about his trips to Palau.
00:03:51.46\00:03:53.33
You know, I got to
tell the guests this,
00:03:53.36\00:03:55.36
the viewers, that is...
00:03:55.40\00:03:58.03
I was doing a
lecture and you told me
00:03:58.07\00:04:01.10
you were from Palau
during this lecture, I says,
00:04:01.14\00:04:04.27
whoa, we have someone else
coming from Palau next session.
00:04:04.31\00:04:08.74
And what did you
say? That is my mother.
00:04:08.78\00:04:13.01
So you came, you're going back,
00:04:13.05\00:04:15.38
you're gonna take care of
the fort, then mom's coming.
00:04:15.42\00:04:18.29
Mom's coming and
hopefully with dad.
00:04:18.32\00:04:20.66
Oh, boy, that
would be a blessing.
00:04:20.69\00:04:22.52
Yes, that would be a
blessing. Dad should be here.
00:04:22.56\00:04:24.53
Yep. We want to keep him around.
00:04:24.56\00:04:25.89
Right. Amen.
00:04:25.93\00:04:27.26
Yeah. Amen to him.
00:04:27.30\00:04:28.63
Now, I was happy to
hear of a couple of issues.
00:04:28.66\00:04:33.97
Your glucose was how
high when you got here?
00:04:34.00\00:04:37.97
Ron, it was 180. A 180?
00:04:38.01\00:04:40.71
Hundred and
eighty when I got here.
00:04:40.74\00:04:42.08
Now, a lot of viewers
don't know what that means,
00:04:42.11\00:04:44.18
but I can tell you
that, it was not good.
00:04:44.21\00:04:46.72
Yeah.
00:04:46.75\00:04:48.08
Now, you diabetics out
there know what that means.
00:04:48.12\00:04:50.52
And so it was 180.
00:04:50.55\00:04:53.66
Now what is
your fasting glucose?
00:04:53.69\00:04:57.33
Right now? Yeah.
00:04:57.36\00:04:58.69
It's below 100. Below 100?
00:04:58.73\00:05:00.26
Yeah, I run between 92 to 99.
00:05:00.30\00:05:04.33
How is that possible?
00:05:04.37\00:05:07.04
You start walking...
00:05:07.07\00:05:10.41
In God? Yes, in God.
00:05:10.44\00:05:12.37
Maybe God first then NEWSTART.
00:05:12.41\00:05:13.84
Maybe God, yeah, first,
NEWSTART, then the walking.
00:05:13.88\00:05:17.25
But it's a lot of
walking I do, Ron, to say.
00:05:17.28\00:05:19.91
You're doing a lot
of walking? How much?
00:05:19.95\00:05:21.85
You don't do a lot
of walking, come on.
00:05:21.88\00:05:24.59
How much walking? Well, maybe...
00:05:24.62\00:05:26.39
How much
walking you do in a day?
00:05:26.42\00:05:28.22
We're looking at a
minimum of 10 miles a day now.
00:05:28.26\00:05:30.93
Ten miles a day,
minimum? Minimum.
00:05:30.96\00:05:34.10
What's maximum if that's...
00:05:34.13\00:05:35.96
I've gone up to
12.6 miles one day.
00:05:36.00\00:05:40.20
How did you
have time to do that?
00:05:40.24\00:05:42.74
That must have taken you hours.
00:05:42.77\00:05:44.57
I work it in. But,
you know, I make time.
00:05:44.61\00:05:46.74
I wake up at
five in the morning.
00:05:46.78\00:05:48.88
You know, I do get up
at five in the morning.
00:05:48.91\00:05:50.68
And I heard the
rumors out on you.
00:05:50.71\00:05:52.85
You were up
leading the pack on walks.
00:05:52.88\00:05:55.95
Yes.
00:05:55.98\00:05:57.32
And you've been on
every trail that we have.
00:05:57.35\00:05:59.12
Yes.
00:05:59.15\00:06:01.39
It's so good to
hear you say that.
00:06:01.42\00:06:02.76
Yeah, it's been a blessing.
00:06:02.79\00:06:04.93
And, you know,
I just feel great.
00:06:04.96\00:06:07.76
I, like I told you
earlier, I can't stop smiling.
00:06:07.80\00:06:12.03
Just liking it. I keep smiling.
00:06:12.07\00:06:13.70
Yeah, like you really
found something special.
00:06:13.74\00:06:16.20
It's a rush, it's
a beautiful feeling.
00:06:16.24\00:06:17.91
You know. Yeah.
00:06:17.94\00:06:19.64
I remember how it was
like before I lost the weight
00:06:19.67\00:06:22.68
and before I got
here it's, you know,
00:06:22.71\00:06:25.05
it's always a heavy moment
of feeling low and depressed
00:06:25.08\00:06:30.19
and gloomy and, you
know, it's really the opposite
00:06:30.22\00:06:33.86
of what I'm
feeling right now so...
00:06:33.89\00:06:35.72
It's good for you. Yeah.
00:06:35.76\00:06:37.09
So you don't
look depressed to me.
00:06:37.13\00:06:38.66
No.
00:06:38.69\00:06:41.03
You can't tell them,
they just don't believe that.
00:06:41.06\00:06:43.40
No, I can't. Yeah.
00:06:43.43\00:06:45.30
So you've lost some weight.
You lost how much weight?
00:06:45.33\00:06:48.20
Well,
technically it's 20 pounds.
00:06:48.24\00:06:51.47
Yes, but you
gained a lot of muscle.
00:06:51.51\00:06:53.51
I've gained a lot of muscle,
00:06:53.54\00:06:55.04
so I actually put
back five more pounds.
00:06:55.08\00:06:57.98
Let me share something with you.
00:06:58.01\00:06:59.35
Okay.
00:06:59.38\00:07:00.72
If we were to weigh you in water
00:07:00.75\00:07:04.52
and then weigh you a
second time before you leave,
00:07:04.55\00:07:07.46
you'd really find out
how much fat you've lost
00:07:07.49\00:07:10.79
because the way
they, they weigh, you know,
00:07:10.83\00:07:13.73
because here you may
have lost 35 pounds, right?
00:07:13.76\00:07:18.03
Right, right. But
gained 20 pounds of muscle.
00:07:18.07\00:07:22.04
Does that make
sense? Which is heavier.
00:07:22.07\00:07:23.41
Yeah, it makes
sense. Yeah. Yeah.
00:07:23.44\00:07:25.11
So I
experienced a similar thing.
00:07:25.14\00:07:27.51
Oh, yeah?
00:07:27.54\00:07:28.88
Oh, yeah, I lost all this weight
00:07:28.91\00:07:30.25
but I, I felt so much stronger
because when I got here,
00:07:30.28\00:07:33.95
I couldn't go
around that half mile loop.
00:07:33.98\00:07:35.98
Wow. I couldn't go around it.
00:07:36.02\00:07:38.65
How many loops
are you taking now?
00:07:38.69\00:07:40.69
Oh, at least five or six...
00:07:40.72\00:07:44.53
You know, I'm not
walking the loop here.
00:07:44.56\00:07:46.39
I've a little
trail, I walk at home.
00:07:46.43\00:07:48.26
But still, you know.
00:07:48.30\00:07:49.63
Three to five miles a day. Yeah.
00:07:49.66\00:07:51.60
And some days it's
very difficult to get in,
00:07:51.63\00:07:54.07
especially during this heat.
00:07:54.10\00:07:56.04
How are you
dealing with this heat?
00:07:56.07\00:07:58.24
Now we've been,
we're walking later...
00:07:58.27\00:08:00.24
Actually early in the
morning it's not as bad.
00:08:00.28\00:08:02.64
And then the later
walks will take like
00:08:02.68\00:08:05.21
towards the
evening, so it's not as hot.
00:08:05.25\00:08:07.52
Good.
00:08:07.55\00:08:08.88
Does it get like this in Palau?
00:08:08.92\00:08:10.42
Oh, it's, it's like
this all year around.
00:08:10.45\00:08:12.49
All year around?
00:08:12.52\00:08:13.86
It's like, it's
like 90-90 humidity.
00:08:13.89\00:08:15.22
Because you're near the equator?
00:08:15.26\00:08:16.73
When you're near
the equator, so...
00:08:16.76\00:08:18.36
It's hot but, you
know, we're by the ocean,
00:08:18.39\00:08:20.50
so you still,
you get that breeze.
00:08:20.53\00:08:22.13
Yeah. Yeah.
00:08:22.16\00:08:23.50
So it's okay.
00:08:23.53\00:08:24.87
So what you gonna
do when you get home?
00:08:24.90\00:08:26.67
You're gonna start classes?
00:08:26.70\00:08:29.67
Well, I'm gonna
start pulling people
00:08:29.70\00:08:32.27
into joining me on
my walks, that's first.
00:08:32.31\00:08:34.58
Good. The second is...
00:08:34.61\00:08:38.11
I guess slowly integrating
the meals to my family
00:08:38.15\00:08:41.15
and then to my
friends, you know.
00:08:41.18\00:08:43.59
Good for you.
00:08:43.62\00:08:44.95
I really do feel
the difference, Ron,
00:08:44.99\00:08:46.55
without the meat products, I,
you know, I feel a lot lighter.
00:08:46.59\00:08:50.69
Do you eat a lot
of meat in Palau?
00:08:50.73\00:08:52.09
Yeah, we do eat a
lot of meat in Palau's.
00:08:52.13\00:08:53.80
Fish?
00:08:53.83\00:08:55.16
Fish, a lot of fish and pork.
00:08:55.20\00:08:57.63
Pork? Yeah.
00:08:57.67\00:09:00.67
Funerals, celebration, or
birth celebration or death
00:09:00.70\00:09:03.94
for Palau always
involves a roasted pig.
00:09:03.97\00:09:07.14
Isn't that something? Yeah.
00:09:07.18\00:09:09.28
It reminds me of a couple of
other islands I visited there
00:09:09.31\00:09:12.25
and they just have the big
pig on the roaster, you know,
00:09:12.28\00:09:15.08
wow, you know.
00:09:15.12\00:09:16.45
Well, back in those
days I was eating meat.
00:09:16.48\00:09:18.32
So I didn't think much
of it. Right, right, right.
00:09:18.35\00:09:21.49
Well, you know, I want
to thank you and praise you,
00:09:21.52\00:09:27.00
praise God that you
were able to come here
00:09:27.03\00:09:30.63
and get all this
wonderful attitude.
00:09:30.67\00:09:33.60
I'm gonna say thank you again.
00:09:33.64\00:09:35.77
Thank you, Ron.
And we'll be in touch.
00:09:35.80\00:09:38.27
But, friends, don't go
away, Dr. Gallant is up next.
00:09:38.31\00:09:41.78
Welcome back, friends.
Help me welcome Roger Gallant.
00:10:16.88\00:10:20.15
Nice to be here, Ron.
00:10:20.18\00:10:21.58
Dr. Roger
Gallant, sorry about that.
00:10:21.62\00:10:23.99
Hey, my mother named me
Roger. Hey, she sure did.
00:10:24.02\00:10:27.42
Who named you RG1 or 2?
00:10:27.46\00:10:30.59
You're RG1 because
you were here before me,
00:10:30.63\00:10:33.56
I'm RG2.
00:10:33.60\00:10:35.66
I love to be
associated with you.
00:10:35.70\00:10:37.57
Amen, I like it
too. We got the same...
00:10:37.60\00:10:39.80
We even wear the same
clothes. Look at that.
00:10:39.83\00:10:42.00
How about that?
That's pretty good.
00:10:42.04\00:10:43.74
You know, we're
talking about Bouveau, right?
00:10:43.77\00:10:46.47
Yes.
00:10:46.51\00:10:47.84
This girl, I
mean, she is so excited.
00:10:47.88\00:10:54.75
She is really,
really got the message.
00:10:54.78\00:10:58.45
When she came here, as you know,
00:10:58.49\00:11:00.29
you were her doctor.
00:11:00.32\00:11:01.82
She was depressed in a big way.
00:11:01.86\00:11:03.93
She just said that
during our interview.
00:11:03.96\00:11:05.59
Yeah.
00:11:05.63\00:11:06.96
I didn't know it
was so, so bad for her.
00:11:07.00\00:11:10.80
Morbidly overweight
00:11:10.83\00:11:12.93
and she came here to lose weight
00:11:12.97\00:11:15.50
and she found, what?
00:11:15.54\00:11:17.04
She found God. Yeah.
00:11:17.07\00:11:19.11
She found that she
didn't have to be depressed
00:11:19.14\00:11:22.28
and talk to us
about that, doctor?
00:11:22.31\00:11:24.88
You know, Bouveau
is just a sweet lady.
00:11:24.91\00:11:28.75
I was impressed
with her personality
00:11:28.78\00:11:30.82
from the first time we met.
00:11:30.85\00:11:32.89
And to see how she accepted
and implemented the things
00:11:32.92\00:11:38.59
that we were asking to do.
00:11:38.63\00:11:41.46
One of the things
that we tell the guests
00:11:41.50\00:11:42.93
when they come here is that
00:11:42.96\00:11:44.33
you really need
to do everything.
00:11:44.37\00:11:48.64
Start developing
new habits from day one.
00:11:48.67\00:11:51.87
Don't wait until
the end or think, oh,
00:11:51.91\00:11:54.01
when I get home
I'll get this sorted out.
00:11:54.04\00:11:56.85
Start doing it from now.
You have an opportunity here.
00:11:56.88\00:11:59.78
You know, I tell the
guests on the orientation night,
00:11:59.81\00:12:02.32
you're here, you're not working,
00:12:02.35\00:12:05.02
you don't have to
clean, you don't have to cook,
00:12:05.05\00:12:07.66
you have a lot of time
and you need to use that time.
00:12:07.69\00:12:11.53
And especially those who
want to get off of medicines,
00:12:11.56\00:12:14.30
I tell them, they have
to replace their medicine
00:12:14.33\00:12:17.17
with a new medicine
00:12:17.20\00:12:18.97
and the new medicine is walking.
00:12:19.00\00:12:20.67
Yeah.
00:12:20.70\00:12:22.04
Bouveau was getting
up every morning at 5 am.
00:12:22.07\00:12:25.14
She was going out
00:12:25.17\00:12:26.51
and she was motivating
others to go and walk with her.
00:12:26.54\00:12:29.24
She was walking with Matt.
00:12:29.28\00:12:30.65
Matt. Yeah.
00:12:30.68\00:12:32.38
Yeah, she was walking with Matt,
00:12:32.41\00:12:33.75
and she was walking
with a couple other guests,
00:12:33.78\00:12:35.12
and she would
motivate them to get up
00:12:35.15\00:12:36.89
and get going at five.
00:12:36.92\00:12:38.52
And they would walk for
over an hour in the morning
00:12:38.55\00:12:42.16
but that wasn't all the
walking they were doing,
00:12:42.19\00:12:43.96
they would still
walk through the day
00:12:43.99\00:12:45.33
even in the heat.
00:12:45.36\00:12:46.76
How is it though, I
got to ask this question.
00:12:46.80\00:12:49.53
You know, a lot of
our guests come here,
00:12:49.56\00:12:51.13
they are depressed as you know.
00:12:51.17\00:12:53.10
How is that just a
simple lifestyle change
00:12:53.13\00:12:56.91
gets them out
of this depression?
00:12:56.94\00:12:59.14
Well, you know,
God works through
00:12:59.17\00:13:01.21
very simple natural remedies.
00:13:01.24\00:13:03.85
By changing her diet,
by getting more exercise,
00:13:03.88\00:13:10.69
she gets better circulation.
00:13:10.72\00:13:12.92
Better circulation
to your frontal lobe
00:13:12.95\00:13:15.59
is very important to
help make depression better.
00:13:15.62\00:13:19.19
Endorphins. Endorphins.
00:13:19.23\00:13:21.50
By exercising,
00:13:21.53\00:13:23.70
you change your endorphins,
you change your mood,
00:13:23.73\00:13:27.67
getting up early and exercising
in the early morning sunlight
00:13:27.70\00:13:31.91
gives her more
serotonin in her brain
00:13:31.94\00:13:35.08
and serotonin is
your feel good hormone.
00:13:35.11\00:13:37.71
It's what makes you have
contentment and happiness
00:13:37.75\00:13:40.52
and feel better about life.
00:13:40.55\00:13:41.95
Then you can
sleep better at night.
00:13:41.98\00:13:43.32
Than you can sleep better.
00:13:43.35\00:13:44.69
As you increase
your water intake,
00:13:44.72\00:13:46.86
your blood is thinner,
00:13:46.89\00:13:48.22
so it's easier to pump,
it's easier to circulate,
00:13:48.26\00:13:50.23
it starts bringing
your blood pressure down,
00:13:50.26\00:13:52.26
that was
something else that she had
00:13:52.29\00:13:53.63
a little bit of
high blood pressure,
00:13:53.66\00:13:55.03
a little bit of
high blood sugar.
00:13:55.06\00:13:57.57
By exercising, you up
regulate more insulin receptors
00:13:57.60\00:14:03.41
on the surface of cells
and that makes the insulin
00:14:03.44\00:14:07.54
that you already have
in your body work better,
00:14:07.58\00:14:10.65
so her blood sugar
started to come down.
00:14:10.68\00:14:12.75
Oh, it's so awesome.
00:14:12.78\00:14:14.35
Man, she's just
a different person.
00:14:14.38\00:14:16.02
She really is.
00:14:16.05\00:14:17.39
And, you know, during
my presentation on Sabbath,
00:14:17.42\00:14:22.09
I said to her,
where are you from?
00:14:22.12\00:14:23.83
She says Palau.
I said, guess what?
00:14:23.86\00:14:26.90
We have a guest
coming from Palau next month.
00:14:26.93\00:14:30.17
She says, yeah, I
know that's my mother.
00:14:30.20\00:14:32.63
Did you know that?
00:14:32.67\00:14:34.00
Well, I talked
to her dad actually.
00:14:34.04\00:14:36.30
I knew her mother
was interested in coming,
00:14:36.34\00:14:37.97
but her father is
sick right now as well.
00:14:38.01\00:14:40.28
He needs to be with
her. And he's, he...
00:14:40.31\00:14:42.31
I talk to him and he is thinking
00:14:42.34\00:14:44.68
very seriously
about coming next month.
00:14:44.71\00:14:46.45
And I told Bouveau,
00:14:46.48\00:14:47.82
she should just
come back with him.
00:14:47.85\00:14:49.18
Yeah, although it
would be just awesome.
00:14:49.22\00:14:50.85
Wouldn't that be great? Oh, yes.
00:14:50.89\00:14:52.35
But, you know what?
00:14:52.39\00:14:53.72
The thing that impressed
me the most about Bouveau,
00:14:53.76\00:14:56.89
is that she was
willing to do whatever it took.
00:14:56.93\00:15:01.96
I had other guests who
have come to our program
00:15:02.00\00:15:05.50
and they're here
00:15:05.53\00:15:08.10
and they don't
get very involved,
00:15:08.14\00:15:10.11
they don't come to lectures,
00:15:10.14\00:15:11.94
they don't walk as
much as they should,
00:15:11.97\00:15:14.41
they sit, they talk,
they enjoy the fellowship,
00:15:14.44\00:15:18.21
but they really
don't take to heart.
00:15:18.25\00:15:20.92
The ones who take it
to heart and do everything
00:15:20.95\00:15:25.19
are the ones who
have the best results.
00:15:25.22\00:15:27.49
And I was just so impressed
that Bouveau was willing to do
00:15:27.52\00:15:30.09
whatever it took to get better.
00:15:30.13\00:15:32.59
And we've seen our
Bouveaus throughout the years.
00:15:32.63\00:15:35.20
Absolutely. And I
would be one of them.
00:15:35.23\00:15:38.20
Yeah. Amen. Thank God.
00:15:38.23\00:15:40.04
Because I wasn't
gonna miss a meeting,
00:15:40.07\00:15:42.00
I wasn't gonna be
late, I want to make sure
00:15:42.04\00:15:44.27
I got it all
because I was dying.
00:15:44.31\00:15:47.34
Who wouldn't want to be at
all the meetings in a tent?
00:15:47.38\00:15:50.48
You know, what I
mean? So it's spot on.
00:15:50.51\00:15:52.38
And the other thing
is you spent good money.
00:15:52.41\00:15:53.88
That's right.
00:15:53.92\00:15:55.25
You don't want
to spend the money
00:15:55.28\00:15:56.62
and then miss something.
00:15:56.65\00:15:57.99
And, no, I was gonna
get my money's worth.
00:15:58.02\00:15:59.42
Let me tell you... Exactly.
00:15:59.45\00:16:01.36
I got it, I got it. Exactly.
00:16:01.39\00:16:02.72
And then I got a job
to boot. How about that?
00:16:02.76\00:16:04.83
See, how God is good?
00:16:04.86\00:16:06.19
Good is good. Praise the Lord.
00:16:06.23\00:16:07.63
I want to thank you.
We've run out of time.
00:16:07.66\00:16:10.67
But God bless
you, Brother. You too.
00:16:10.70\00:16:12.67
Yeah. You too, Ron.
00:16:12.70\00:16:14.04
And, friends, don't go
away, Pastor Snead is up next.
00:16:14.07\00:16:17.87
Every year in America,
00:16:21.78\00:16:23.11
there are over
one million deaths
00:16:23.14\00:16:24.48
because of Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:16:24.51\00:16:27.38
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:16:27.42\00:16:29.75
That's six and half
747s crashing every day.
00:16:29.78\00:16:33.22
What's even more surprising
is that the fix is easy.
00:16:33.25\00:16:36.62
It's your lifestyle.
00:16:36.66\00:16:38.23
Wouldn't it be nice
if you could actually
00:16:38.26\00:16:39.93
add quality years to
your life rather than dying
00:16:39.96\00:16:42.30
one organ at a time?
00:16:42.33\00:16:44.33
Obesity and
diabetes are the cause
00:16:44.37\00:16:46.03
of over million deaths per year.
00:16:46.07\00:16:48.64
Most diseases are reversible
00:16:48.67\00:16:50.77
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:16:50.81\00:16:53.61
especially Type 2
diabetes and chronicobesity.
00:16:53.64\00:16:57.11
Seriously now,
they can be reversed
00:16:57.15\00:16:59.35
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.
00:16:59.38\00:17:02.88

And welcome back, friends.
Help me welcome Pastor Snead.
00:17:23.51\00:17:26.47
Man, you got a
grip. How are you doing?
00:17:26.51\00:17:28.41
I'm doing good. Right.
00:17:28.44\00:17:30.21
I'm excited to
talk about Bouveau.
00:17:30.25\00:17:31.71
Oh, yeah.
00:17:31.75\00:17:33.08
Well, here's a lady from
halfway around the world.
00:17:33.11\00:17:36.28
She doesn't know
much about Christianity,
00:17:36.32\00:17:40.29
anything about the Bible
00:17:40.32\00:17:42.62
and she's a young
lady and she's so open.
00:17:42.66\00:17:47.16
What say ye?
00:17:47.20\00:17:48.90
Wow, Bouveau is
the perfect demographic
00:17:48.93\00:17:52.27
in our opinion.
00:17:52.30\00:17:53.67
You know, George Barna
releases all these reports,
00:17:53.70\00:17:56.77
he goes all over the
world, even in our church
00:17:56.81\00:17:58.67
he's done some recent ones.
00:17:58.71\00:18:00.08
And this age group is
what's missing from our church,
00:18:00.11\00:18:02.58
from all Christian churches.
00:18:02.61\00:18:03.98
These late 20s to, you know,
mid to late 30s are just gone.
00:18:04.01\00:18:09.22
They're interested in
all kinds of other things.
00:18:09.25\00:18:11.92
And she comes from
across the world, right?
00:18:11.95\00:18:15.79
She gets here and she obviously,
00:18:15.82\00:18:17.56
you know, talking
to her a little bit,
00:18:17.59\00:18:18.93
she has no Christian
background whatsoever,
00:18:18.96\00:18:22.20
but she comes here
because of her health.
00:18:22.23\00:18:23.93
She had a tragedy in her family,
00:18:23.97\00:18:26.07
a brother that was,
shouldn't have died,
00:18:26.10\00:18:28.67
but did from
health related issues.
00:18:28.70\00:18:30.77
So her family got
on her a little bit
00:18:30.81\00:18:33.24
to go get checked up
and she gets checked up.
00:18:33.27\00:18:35.44
And what did
she found out at 30?
00:18:35.48\00:18:37.75
She's got some
numbers that are given her
00:18:37.78\00:18:40.68
some scary future
portents of things to come
00:18:40.72\00:18:43.45
if she doesn't change.
00:18:43.49\00:18:44.82
So that drives her to come here.
00:18:44.85\00:18:47.06
It's like, she doesn't
want to end up the same way
00:18:47.09\00:18:48.89
and so she comes
here for that fact.
00:18:48.92\00:18:51.29
But within two or three
days of the fresh start lecture,
00:18:51.33\00:18:54.43
I noticed that,
Bouveau is like honed in
00:18:54.46\00:18:57.37
on what I'm saying.
00:18:57.40\00:18:58.73
So I think I have
her like the third day
00:18:58.77\00:19:00.20
I have a
counseling session with her.
00:19:00.24\00:19:01.90
And so we're doing the
chit-chat and a small talk
00:19:01.94\00:19:04.31
and I just start asking her
00:19:04.34\00:19:05.67
about her relationship with God.
00:19:05.71\00:19:07.61
And, you know, God...
00:19:07.64\00:19:08.98
And she's like I
don't know God at all,
00:19:09.01\00:19:10.75
I don't have a relationship.
00:19:10.78\00:19:12.11
She was raised in some,
some Christian background
00:19:12.15\00:19:14.75
just a little bit, but
no knowledge of the Bible,
00:19:14.78\00:19:17.19
no knowledge of God,
hasn't been living for God.
00:19:17.22\00:19:19.35
And as we're talking about
God, I'm just amazed because,
00:19:19.39\00:19:22.92
at looking she starts weeping,
her eyes are tearing up,
00:19:22.96\00:19:25.83
you know, she starts being
very emotional about this idea
00:19:25.86\00:19:29.83
and she bows her
head to me and she says,
00:19:29.86\00:19:32.03
I know I need God in my life.
00:19:32.07\00:19:33.94
Wow.
00:19:33.97\00:19:35.30
Coming here, just
being here three days,
00:19:35.34\00:19:37.71
jogged that, that desire in her.
00:19:37.74\00:19:40.61
Isn't that
something? Praise God.
00:19:40.64\00:19:43.58
You know, I
don't know if you know
00:19:43.61\00:19:44.95
but the health
message, this program,
00:19:44.98\00:19:48.28
the NEWSTART program is
what brought me to the Lord
00:19:48.32\00:19:52.29
and it's doing the
same for many, many people,
00:19:52.32\00:19:54.99
hundreds and
thousands of people.
00:19:55.02\00:19:57.03
And it's so good to
hear you talk about Bouveau
00:19:57.06\00:20:00.86
and her wanting and the weeping
that shows me some sincerity.
00:20:00.90\00:20:06.33
Now and right, she's...
00:20:06.37\00:20:08.14
I know she's serious about it
00:20:08.17\00:20:09.50
because she's
taken Bible studies.
00:20:09.54\00:20:11.31
She is now committed
to doing a DVD study,
00:20:11.34\00:20:15.34
going back home finding
out more religious things.
00:20:15.38\00:20:18.85
And it is true, it is true that
a person coming here for health
00:20:18.88\00:20:23.59
will automatically
open up to the gospel,
00:20:23.62\00:20:25.55
it is just the way it works.
00:20:25.59\00:20:27.29
You know, when the
mind starts to heal
00:20:27.32\00:20:29.36
and the body starts to feel good
00:20:29.39\00:20:31.46
and you start thinking
about the physical body
00:20:31.49\00:20:33.40
and not wanting to die
physically in this world,
00:20:33.43\00:20:36.16
you don't want disease,
you don't want a heart attack,
00:20:36.20\00:20:38.53
the natural thought is,
what about my eternal life?
00:20:38.57\00:20:41.67
What about the spiritual world?
It is just an easy transition.
00:20:41.70\00:20:45.47
So if you're here
to get healed for that,
00:20:45.51\00:20:47.71
it just makes common
sense, why not find out
00:20:47.74\00:20:50.88
what God has for me spiritually?
00:20:50.91\00:20:53.58
And I think it's just
a natural flow of thought
00:20:53.62\00:20:56.08
for people to go to.
00:20:56.12\00:20:58.05
You know, I had a
different chaplain
00:20:58.09\00:21:02.06
or pastor when I came.
00:21:02.09\00:21:04.43
And I'm asking him
and I'm asking the doctors
00:21:04.46\00:21:06.76
and something's going on
here, guys, what is this?
00:21:06.80\00:21:10.47
What you mean?
00:21:10.50\00:21:11.87
I said, everywhere I
go people are praying.
00:21:11.90\00:21:14.57
He says, well, we're Christian.
00:21:14.60\00:21:16.54
I go, I know. But so am I.
00:21:16.57\00:21:18.57
Well, I was baptized
but I never went to church,
00:21:18.61\00:21:21.54
not, since I was about 12.
00:21:21.58\00:21:23.48
But nonetheless it's amazing
00:21:23.51\00:21:27.55
the people that
come here for health
00:21:27.58\00:21:31.92
and right away realize that
00:21:31.95\00:21:34.36
they need the
spiritual counselling.
00:21:34.39\00:21:36.59
And I'm so grateful that
you're the guy delivering it.
00:21:36.62\00:21:39.39
Well, and you've
heard the stories.
00:21:39.43\00:21:40.80
I mean, I've been
here just over a year now.
00:21:40.83\00:21:43.37
And if I've heard it once,
I've heard it dozens of times.
00:21:43.40\00:21:46.07
I came here for health
reasons and I had no clue
00:21:46.10\00:21:50.54
that it was spiritual
that I truly was yearning for.
00:21:50.57\00:21:53.74
And so they got the
benefit of both, but really,
00:21:53.78\00:21:56.61
then they can accept, you know,
00:21:56.64\00:21:58.11
whatever God has
for me in my life
00:21:58.15\00:21:59.68
and they can kind of
move forward in that idea
00:21:59.71\00:22:02.52
that God is going
to heal you physically
00:22:02.55\00:22:05.05
but also spiritually and
that's the greater healing.
00:22:05.09\00:22:08.12
Amen.
00:22:08.16\00:22:09.86
I want to thank
you pastor for coming.
00:22:09.89\00:22:12.23
We appreciate your time.
00:22:12.26\00:22:13.60
I know you are a
busy guy, saving souls.
00:22:13.63\00:22:16.33
But thank you, friends,
00:22:16.36\00:22:17.70
don't go away Dr.
Nedley is up next.
00:22:17.73\00:22:22.77
This is NEWSTART Now.
Thanks for joining us.
00:22:22.80\00:22:25.24
I'm Dr. Neil Nedley,
president of Weimar Institute.
00:22:25.27\00:22:28.01
And with me today
is Dr. Eddie Ramirez,
00:22:28.04\00:22:30.51
physician, researcher,
00:22:30.55\00:22:32.45
and professor at Weimar College.
00:22:32.48\00:22:35.62
Today we're gonna
be looking at a study
00:22:35.65\00:22:37.39
that one of our
students helped out
00:22:37.42\00:22:39.05
with Lance Draper Hofer,
00:22:39.09\00:22:41.86
I'm sure soon to be a physician.
00:22:41.89\00:22:43.86
He's a pre-med student here.
00:22:43.89\00:22:45.96
And although he had a
very challenging background
00:22:45.99\00:22:49.16
being raised,
00:22:49.20\00:22:50.53
actually being in
jail at age 15 and 16.
00:22:50.57\00:22:53.90
He has had a
dramatic turnaround here
00:22:53.94\00:22:56.20
at Weimar Institute.
00:22:56.24\00:22:57.61
He came here on probation
00:22:57.64\00:22:59.44
and he has flourished
in our pre-med program
00:22:59.47\00:23:03.48
and with the Weimar Lifestyle.
00:23:03.51\00:23:05.11
The NEWSTART principles
are not only for people
00:23:05.15\00:23:07.65
that come to
the NEWSTART program
00:23:07.68\00:23:09.55
but also for our
students as well.
00:23:09.58\00:23:12.55
But this takes a
look at a vulnerable group
00:23:12.59\00:23:15.42
of people in America.
00:23:15.46\00:23:16.96
Tell us what group
we're looking at here today,
00:23:16.99\00:23:18.86
Dr. Ramirez?
00:23:18.89\00:23:20.23
We were focusing on this study,
00:23:20.26\00:23:22.16
on those people
that didn't grow up
00:23:22.20\00:23:24.57
with both
biological parents at home.
00:23:24.60\00:23:27.24
Okay.
00:23:27.27\00:23:28.60
And that actually is
75% of Americans today.
00:23:28.64\00:23:31.84
I'm sorry to say,
only 25% of Americans
00:23:31.87\00:23:36.54
are being raised by
both biological parents
00:23:36.58\00:23:38.78
at the same time from 0
to 18, a record low numbers
00:23:38.81\00:23:42.78
and it continues to go
down in our society today.
00:23:42.82\00:23:47.02
And what the study show is,
00:23:47.06\00:23:49.62
this threatens your
mental health significantly.
00:23:49.66\00:23:53.19
It's actually
healthier to grow up
00:23:53.23\00:23:55.20
with both biological parents.
00:23:55.23\00:23:57.37
Which ways did you
find out it threatened
00:23:57.40\00:23:59.70
the mental health of this day?
00:23:59.73\00:24:02.04
What we were
calculating is to see
00:24:02.07\00:24:05.21
what is the probability
that this particular population
00:24:05.24\00:24:09.38
will be involved in
sexual relationships
00:24:09.41\00:24:11.51
outside of marriage,
00:24:11.55\00:24:13.45
many times that lack
of intimacy and support,
00:24:13.48\00:24:18.25
these type of
people try to find that
00:24:18.29\00:24:21.12
in the wrong places.
00:24:21.16\00:24:22.66
And there is pain
and negative consequences
00:24:22.69\00:24:27.13
as a result of
that type of behavior.
00:24:27.16\00:24:29.50
So really it's
adding insult to injury
00:24:29.53\00:24:33.07
because what we've
previously shown in our studies,
00:24:33.10\00:24:37.21
actually presented
00:24:37.24\00:24:38.97
in the Journal of
Sexual Medicine is that,
00:24:39.01\00:24:41.38
when you have sex
outside of marriage,
00:24:41.41\00:24:44.01
you're gonna become
more depressed and anxious,
00:24:44.05\00:24:45.98
your emotional
intelligence are gonna go down.
00:24:46.01\00:24:48.35
And so they're
already a threatened group
00:24:48.38\00:24:50.15
because they're not being raised
00:24:50.19\00:24:51.52
by both biological parents
00:24:51.55\00:24:53.05
and then they tend to
self sabotage unknowingly
00:24:53.09\00:24:55.99
of course because a lot of times
00:24:56.02\00:24:57.46
people aren't
aware of these effects.
00:24:57.49\00:24:59.96
And yeah, they
had a relative risk
00:25:00.00\00:25:02.70
of 1.35 of being involved
00:25:02.73\00:25:06.10
in these sexual relationships
outside of marriage.
00:25:06.13\00:25:09.74
Okay, so 35%
increase risk of doing so.
00:25:09.77\00:25:16.18
Where is this study? Is it...
00:25:16.21\00:25:19.05
It hasn't been
published yet? Yeah.
00:25:19.08\00:25:20.75
They like it so much
that they actually invited me
00:25:20.78\00:25:23.02
to present this before
the Sexual meeting in Congress
00:25:23.05\00:25:28.89
and this will be
published later next year
00:25:28.92\00:25:32.99
in the Journal
of Sexual Medicine.
00:25:33.03\00:25:35.16
Okay, so it hasn't
been published yet,
00:25:35.20\00:25:37.50
but look for it in the
Journal of Sexual Medicine.
00:25:37.53\00:25:40.34
Anything else we can learn
from this study, Dr. Ramirez?
00:25:40.37\00:25:42.70
Yes.
00:25:42.74\00:25:44.07
What we found out
is that the improvement
00:25:44.11\00:25:47.71
is actually
available also for that group.
00:25:47.74\00:25:50.45
So not because you grew up
00:25:50.48\00:25:53.28
in this type of
dysfunctional family,
00:25:53.31\00:25:55.85
there is still hope
for your mental health
00:25:55.88\00:25:59.35
as you implement all
these different aspects
00:25:59.39\00:26:02.46
of the lifestyle
that we're proposing,
00:26:02.49\00:26:04.69
then your mental health
improves as a result of that.
00:26:04.73\00:26:07.73
That's wonderful,
because often we think that
00:26:07.76\00:26:10.10
the brains cannot
change in this type of people
00:26:10.13\00:26:12.93
and that they're just going
to continue to self sabotage.
00:26:12.97\00:26:16.60
But this program actually
was an intervention program
00:26:16.64\00:26:20.64
where they were able
to dramatically improve
00:26:20.68\00:26:23.51
despite their
vulnerability and despite them
00:26:23.55\00:26:26.28
having sex outside of marriage.
00:26:26.31\00:26:28.58
So there is definitely hope.
00:26:28.62\00:26:31.72
One thing that
you can do first step
00:26:31.75\00:26:33.52
is stop that behavior.
00:26:33.56\00:26:34.89
You know, that
behavior does not bring
00:26:34.92\00:26:37.96
good mental
health in the long term,
00:26:37.99\00:26:40.20
that's what we have published
in the past and then seek help.
00:26:40.23\00:26:45.50
Being involved in
this type of eight week
00:26:45.53\00:26:48.07
depression program
00:26:48.10\00:26:49.44
can have many benefits
in your overall health,
00:26:49.47\00:26:52.57
not only on your mental health.
00:26:52.61\00:26:54.68
There are three
options, the home base version
00:26:54.71\00:26:57.15
of the depression and
anxiety recovery program,
00:26:57.18\00:26:59.65
the community based
version of the depression
00:26:59.68\00:27:01.52
and anxiety recovery
program and if needed,
00:27:01.55\00:27:04.85
coming yourself
here to Weimar Institute
00:27:04.89\00:27:08.89
and actually participating
in the residential depression
00:27:08.92\00:27:12.23
and anxiety recovery program.
00:27:12.26\00:27:14.53
Choose the option
that's best for you
00:27:14.56\00:27:17.10
and get the help you need today.
00:27:17.13\00:27:19.37
