Hi, friends, and
welcome to another edition
00:01:13.20\00:01:15.47
of NEWSTART Now.
00:01:15.50\00:01:16.97
I'm your host Ron Giannoni.
00:01:17.01\00:01:19.74
We have a unique story
in here today in our studio,
00:01:19.77\00:01:23.75
Jeffrey Neuvenheim
from San Jose, California.
00:01:23.78\00:01:28.78
I'd like to take a look
when Jeffrey first arrived.
00:01:28.82\00:01:31.79
Well, I'm here
because I'm concerned,
00:01:34.86\00:01:37.96
you know, I
have health problems,
00:01:37.99\00:01:40.16
a variety of health problems.
00:01:40.20\00:01:42.56
And I'm overweight for
one, which is not acceptable.
00:01:42.60\00:01:45.70
It creates problems,
other health problems.
00:01:45.73\00:01:48.40
And what I'm
trying to do though is,
00:01:48.44\00:01:52.44
I have emotional difficulties,
00:01:52.47\00:01:54.54
you know, I feel
down sometimes and stuff.
00:01:54.58\00:01:57.98
And that's tough, you know,
00:01:58.01\00:01:59.88
and that's one of the
hardest things for me.
00:01:59.91\00:02:01.68
And it's kind of tied
into my food cravings I have.
00:02:01.72\00:02:05.89
I'm trying to be
vegetarian and even vegan,
00:02:05.92\00:02:08.82
but I obsess over cheese,
00:02:08.86\00:02:12.73
I like the oval.
00:02:12.76\00:02:14.10
But still, it's hard, you know,
00:02:14.13\00:02:15.46
'cause it puts
on weight, you know.
00:02:15.50\00:02:17.33
And you got to make
sure you have enough exercise
00:02:17.37\00:02:20.34
and, you know, the
weight is an issue.
00:02:20.37\00:02:22.40
And then there's other disease
00:02:22.44\00:02:24.27
that can come from
that kind of lifestyle.
00:02:24.31\00:02:25.74
And I don't want to get involved
00:02:25.77\00:02:28.04
with those if possible.
00:02:28.08\00:02:30.88
I've been like overweight
since I was like 19 years old.
00:02:30.91\00:02:34.98
You know, I was almost
the same weight since then.
00:02:35.02\00:02:38.25
It's amazing, I
haven't lost anything.
00:02:38.29\00:02:40.82
I've gained up
to a certain point,
00:02:40.86\00:02:42.49
but then it just stopped,
and I've been in this weight...
00:02:42.52\00:02:44.99
My weight is 289, and
it's very close to 300.
00:02:45.03\00:02:51.50
I never want to see 300
because that's terrible.
00:02:51.53\00:02:54.40
That's terrifying.
00:02:54.44\00:02:56.07
Yeah.
00:02:56.10\00:02:57.44
Welcome back, friends.
Help me welcome Jeffrey.
00:02:59.87\00:03:02.91
How are you, brother?
Good to see you, brother.
00:03:02.94\00:03:04.98
It's good to see you too.
00:03:05.01\00:03:07.02
More importantly,
00:03:07.05\00:03:08.95
I want to hear
what's happened to you.
00:03:08.98\00:03:12.25
We talked a little
bit before the interview,
00:03:12.29\00:03:14.16
but tell me
again, what has happened?
00:03:14.19\00:03:17.23
Remarkable changes.
00:03:17.26\00:03:19.96
I came here struggling
with sleep, and emotional,
00:03:20.00\00:03:23.40
mental, physical,
spiritual problems.
00:03:23.43\00:03:26.07
Majority of them are gone.
00:03:26.10\00:03:28.17
The number one thing
though is I lost 14 pounds.
00:03:28.20\00:03:30.71
You lost 14 pounds?
In three weeks. Yup.
00:03:30.74\00:03:32.81
That was pretty
significant. Wow, good for you.
00:03:32.84\00:03:35.64
Yup.
00:03:35.68\00:03:37.01
And anything else
happened? Anything significant?
00:03:37.05\00:03:40.58
I got re-baptized.
00:03:40.62\00:03:42.35
And why did you get re-baptized?
00:03:42.38\00:03:43.85
I just felt a move that
my life had to be changed.
00:03:43.89\00:03:46.05
I said, "I've gone far enough."
00:03:46.09\00:03:47.76
And I said, "I got to
give my life again to God."
00:03:47.79\00:03:50.56
And so I did, it was great.
00:03:50.59\00:03:54.53
You know, there
are viewers out there
00:03:54.56\00:03:56.40
that are struggling
with similar situations.
00:03:56.43\00:03:59.23
That's right.
00:03:59.27\00:04:00.94
When I came
here, I was depressed.
00:04:00.97\00:04:02.90
Yes.
00:04:02.94\00:04:04.27
Amongst a lot of other things,
00:04:04.31\00:04:05.74
but tell me a little bit
about this emotional thing
00:04:05.77\00:04:09.08
that has transpired for you.
00:04:09.11\00:04:11.15
Can you?
00:04:11.18\00:04:12.51
Oh, yeah, I had some
problems when I was younger,
00:04:12.55\00:04:14.75
and I was able to get
it under control on my own.
00:04:14.78\00:04:17.35
But coming here was more
the nutritional side of it.
00:04:17.39\00:04:20.82
It kind of pulled me through.
00:04:20.86\00:04:22.56
Yes. You know...
00:04:22.59\00:04:24.49
So I've always been a big
believer in healthy eating,
00:04:24.53\00:04:28.10
and vegan
lifestyle, and exercise,
00:04:28.13\00:04:30.70
but this place,
like I told my friends,
00:04:30.73\00:04:33.17
what I could have
learned in three weeks here,
00:04:33.20\00:04:34.70
takes me three
years to learn at home,
00:04:34.74\00:04:36.81
so I said, "Just come here."
00:04:36.84\00:04:39.17
So now you have a PhD
in your new lifestyle.
00:04:39.21\00:04:41.41
Exactly.
00:04:41.44\00:04:42.78
Now were you on any medication
when you got here at first?
00:04:42.81\00:04:45.08
Yeah, but a lot of them
are just not necessary anymore,
00:04:45.11\00:04:48.95
especially my blood
pressure pills and whatnot.
00:04:48.98\00:04:51.25
My pressure is
back to normal, so...
00:04:51.29\00:04:52.75
Your blood pressure is normal...
00:04:52.79\00:04:54.12
Exactly.
00:04:54.16\00:04:55.49
You were taking
blood pressure meds.
00:04:55.52\00:04:56.89
Yup.
00:04:56.93\00:04:58.26
And now you've eliminated them.
00:04:58.29\00:04:59.63
And I lost two to
four inches around my body.
00:04:59.66\00:05:02.86
All right.
00:05:02.90\00:05:04.23
Now were you on
any other medication?
00:05:04.27\00:05:06.10
Yeah, but it was very
minimal, you know, but yeah.
00:05:06.13\00:05:10.01
Like what?
00:05:10.04\00:05:11.37
Oh, I had a, you know,
00:05:11.41\00:05:12.74
anti-anxiety
and stuff like that.
00:05:12.77\00:05:14.84
It's different stuff like that.
00:05:14.88\00:05:16.21
You're not taking
those anymore either?
00:05:16.24\00:05:17.58
Not really, no.
00:05:17.61\00:05:19.08
It's so much like
00:05:19.11\00:05:20.45
I'm just so much
a happier person.
00:05:20.48\00:05:21.82
Yeah.
00:05:21.85\00:05:23.18
And all the
walking and the exercise
00:05:23.22\00:05:24.55
and, you know, they
really fill your day here.
00:05:24.59\00:05:27.19
All the
educational classes and...
00:05:27.22\00:05:29.76
It's quite phenomenal. Yeah.
00:05:29.79\00:05:32.03
So you attended
the cooking classes?
00:05:32.06\00:05:34.76
Everything, yes.
Cooking, we had an outing,
00:05:34.80\00:05:36.77
we went to Target, we
went to Sizzler for lunch.
00:05:36.80\00:05:39.27
And all this stuff to test
00:05:39.30\00:05:40.70
how we could
behave when we got home.
00:05:40.74\00:05:42.94
Well, and show you
what to eat in a restaurant.
00:05:42.97\00:05:46.71
Yes, exactly. They kind of...
00:05:46.74\00:05:48.24
What did you
have at the Sizzler?
00:05:48.28\00:05:49.84
I had to have
salad, so I took salad.
00:05:49.88\00:05:52.88
No baked potato? No bake...
00:05:52.91\00:05:54.25
But well, we could
have a baked potato, but...
00:05:54.28\00:05:56.48
But you didn't.
But yeah, well, I did.
00:05:56.52\00:05:58.39
But, you know, we
try to keep it simple.
00:05:58.42\00:06:00.36
I found out they feed
you so much of healthy food,
00:06:00.39\00:06:03.36
you don't want to eat anymore.
00:06:03.39\00:06:04.73
You're just like, "I'm so full."
00:06:04.76\00:06:06.09
And your weight
just melts off, you know?
00:06:06.13\00:06:09.10
Who was your
doctor during the program?
00:06:09.13\00:06:10.87
Dr. Gallant. Dr.
Gallant. Excellent.
00:06:10.90\00:06:13.44
Excellent doctor.
Yeah, a fine doctor.
00:06:13.47\00:06:14.87
Wonderful guy.
00:06:14.90\00:06:17.97
Aside from Dr. Gallant, I assume
00:06:18.01\00:06:19.94
you had a great
relationship with him...
00:06:19.97\00:06:22.51
Yes, yes.
00:06:22.54\00:06:23.88
Who is your...
00:06:23.91\00:06:25.25
What part of the
program was your favorite?
00:06:25.28\00:06:27.58
I like the outings,
like we went to a trip,
00:06:27.62\00:06:29.85
to the hiking trails of up...
00:06:29.88\00:06:31.95
There was a Biblical park,
00:06:31.99\00:06:33.32
I think,
something as well and...
00:06:33.36\00:06:34.69
Yes. That was fun.
00:06:34.72\00:06:36.06
We had a picnic, and
we had veggie burgers,
00:06:36.09\00:06:37.89
you know, it was
really fun, yeah.
00:06:37.93\00:06:39.69
I enjoyed that.
00:06:39.73\00:06:41.06
Yeah, that's a
bike ride as well.
00:06:41.10\00:06:42.43
Yeah. That was fun ride.
00:06:42.46\00:06:43.80
Yeah, nice.
00:06:43.83\00:06:45.67
And were you satisfied with...
00:06:45.70\00:06:49.67
Did the program
meet your expectations?
00:06:49.70\00:06:51.74
Yes.
00:06:51.77\00:06:53.11
Above and
beyond. Above and beyond.
00:06:53.14\00:06:54.48
I mean, yeah, I had the hot
00:06:54.51\00:06:55.94
and cold treatment water showers
00:06:55.98\00:06:57.55
and massages and
baths and everything.
00:06:57.58\00:06:59.68
It was great. Yeah.
00:06:59.71\00:07:01.45
Good.
00:07:01.48\00:07:02.82
And the people that
you met in the program,
00:07:02.85\00:07:05.45
did you meet any
lifelong friends?
00:07:05.49\00:07:07.82
Yeah. Lifelong
friends, yes, several.
00:07:07.86\00:07:09.56
Yeah, really good people.
00:07:09.59\00:07:11.29
Really good people. Yeah.
00:07:11.33\00:07:13.06
And could you tell us
about the massage and hydro?
00:07:13.09\00:07:16.56
That was great. It
was a little bit...
00:07:16.60\00:07:18.20
At first, it was
difficult, but over the last
00:07:18.23\00:07:19.93
two or three days in a
row, I started feeling...
00:07:19.97\00:07:21.80
I actually started liking it.
00:07:21.84\00:07:23.74
You feel like you can never
get over the freezing cold,
00:07:23.77\00:07:25.91
but you eventually get
used to it at some point, yeah.
00:07:25.94\00:07:29.91
Who is your therapist?
00:07:29.94\00:07:31.28
Phil. Phil is my
therapist. Oh, he's great.
00:07:31.31\00:07:32.91
Yeah. He's great.
00:07:32.95\00:07:34.75
Now here comes an
important question,
00:07:34.78\00:07:37.82
not that those weren't,
00:07:37.85\00:07:39.19
but what are you going
to do when you get home?
00:07:39.22\00:07:41.92
Well, I've been
meditating on this
00:07:41.96\00:07:44.19
and praying about it.
00:07:44.23\00:07:45.93
And I learnt from
NEWSTART, beans, beans, beans.
00:07:45.96\00:07:50.27
Eat your beans,
get those starches in.
00:07:50.30\00:07:52.60
Get the lentils, the nuts,
the seeds, fortify your diet.
00:07:52.63\00:07:58.31
I learned a lot, you
know, and then Dr. Gallant
00:07:58.34\00:08:00.31
really explained a lot.
00:08:00.34\00:08:02.58
Eileen, the nutritionist,
everyone kind of collaborated
00:08:02.61\00:08:05.81
and helped
because healthy people...
00:08:05.85\00:08:10.09
And what about the foods
00:08:10.12\00:08:11.62
that you currently
have in your cupboards
00:08:11.65\00:08:14.29
and in your refrigerator?
00:08:14.32\00:08:15.66
What are you going
to do with all those?
00:08:15.69\00:08:17.03
Out the door,
in the garbage can.
00:08:17.06\00:08:18.39
In the garbage,
right. Yeah, no more of that.
00:08:18.43\00:08:21.03
Good. Good. Yeah.
00:08:21.06\00:08:22.70
And do you live alone?
00:08:22.73\00:08:24.67
Yeah, I'm on my own, yeah.
00:08:24.70\00:08:26.03
Okay, and what about
00:08:26.07\00:08:27.97
when you go out
with friends and such?
00:08:28.00\00:08:30.01
Well, they help
me out with that.
00:08:30.04\00:08:31.47
They said, you
know, there's always a way
00:08:31.51\00:08:32.84
to call ahead and find
out what they serve there
00:08:32.87\00:08:34.74
and maybe they can make
a special dish for me or,
00:08:34.78\00:08:36.98
you know, you can
know what's on the menu
00:08:37.01\00:08:38.35
ahead of time. Yeah.
00:08:38.38\00:08:39.78
You know, I don't know...
00:08:39.81\00:08:41.15
If you recall my
presentation Yes, I do.
00:08:41.18\00:08:43.75
The first Saturday. Yeah.
00:08:43.79\00:08:45.45
I have not been to a restaurant
00:08:45.49\00:08:47.12
where they
wouldn't accommodate me
00:08:47.16\00:08:48.99
with something vegan.
00:08:49.02\00:08:50.86
Right.
00:08:50.89\00:08:52.23
And so even
when I test the chef,
00:08:52.26\00:08:54.60
"Hey, look, I'm
vegan. What can you prepare?"
00:08:54.63\00:08:57.63
And they come up
with some great ideas,
00:08:57.67\00:09:00.27
so I just go for it,
00:09:00.30\00:09:01.80
making sure
there's no fish broth.
00:09:01.84\00:09:04.57
Right. Or chicken broth.
00:09:04.61\00:09:06.11
Other things, yeah.
00:09:06.14\00:09:07.48
Right, other things
that might creep in.
00:09:07.51\00:09:09.64
Yeah.
00:09:09.68\00:09:12.45
Are there any
words of encouragement...
00:09:12.48\00:09:16.58
Yeah.
00:09:16.62\00:09:17.95
That you can
give to our viewers?
00:09:17.99\00:09:19.92
I'd say, stick to it.
00:09:19.95\00:09:21.62
Get in the program, stick to it,
00:09:21.66\00:09:23.63
you will see results.
00:09:23.66\00:09:25.66
Your walking will increase,
your oxygen will increase,
00:09:25.69\00:09:28.40
your water will increase,
and everything will increase,
00:09:28.43\00:09:30.37
and you will
decrease what matters.
00:09:30.40\00:09:34.04
Your problems with
weight, that'll go away,
00:09:34.07\00:09:37.44
and that's one
of the best things
00:09:37.47\00:09:38.81
'cause obesity is a disease.
00:09:38.84\00:09:40.78
Amen, amen.
00:09:40.81\00:09:43.14
You know, friends, what
Jeffrey is saying is true.
00:09:43.18\00:09:46.82
If you have any
kind of a difficulty
00:09:46.85\00:09:49.48
and you need a
change in your life,
00:09:49.52\00:09:52.32
pick up the phone
and give me a call
00:09:52.35\00:09:53.86
at 800-525-9192.
00:09:53.89\00:09:58.89
Jeffrey, Thank you
so much. Thank you, sir.
00:09:58.93\00:10:01.06
God bless you, brother. You too.
00:10:01.10\00:10:02.43
Thank you.
Friends, don't go away.
00:10:02.46\00:10:03.87
Dr. Gallant's up next.
00:10:03.90\00:10:05.33
Every year in America,
00:10:07.67\00:10:09.00
there are over
one million deaths
00:10:09.04\00:10:10.37
because of type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:10:10.41\00:10:13.27
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:10:13.31\00:10:15.71
That's six and a half
747s crashing every day.
00:10:15.74\00:10:19.21
What's even more surprising
is that the fix is easy.
00:10:19.25\00:10:22.68
It's your lifestyle.
00:10:22.72\00:10:24.09
Wouldn't it be nice
00:10:24.12\00:10:25.45
if you could actually add
quality years to your life
00:10:25.49\00:10:27.46
rather than dying
one organ at a time?
00:10:27.49\00:10:30.29
Obesity and
diabetes are the cause
00:10:30.33\00:10:31.99
of over million deaths per year.
00:10:32.03\00:10:34.56
Most diseases are reversible
00:10:34.60\00:10:36.67
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:10:36.70\00:10:39.70
especially type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:10:39.73\00:10:43.07
Seriously now,
they can be reversed
00:10:43.10\00:10:45.24
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.
00:10:45.27\00:10:48.88

The NEWSTART programs

00:11:02.79\00:11:06.09
Welcome back,
friends. Dr. Gallant.
00:11:09.16\00:11:11.40
Ron, good to be here with you.
00:11:11.43\00:11:12.77
Good to talk to you again. Yes.
00:11:12.80\00:11:15.27
And still... Yes.
00:11:15.30\00:11:17.11
You know, I want to
get right into Jeff.
00:11:17.14\00:11:21.91
You know, when
Jeff first got here...
00:11:21.94\00:11:25.21
As you know I
talked to his aunt,
00:11:25.25\00:11:26.82
and we got him coming here,
00:11:26.85\00:11:29.05
and he wanted to
attend the program.
00:11:29.08\00:11:32.32
And I was a little concerned.
00:11:32.35\00:11:36.22
I think we all were.
00:11:36.26\00:11:37.59
Yeah, as I shared with him
during the interview, I said,
00:11:37.63\00:11:40.43
"Jeff, I didn't know
how you were going to do."
00:11:40.46\00:11:42.20
And... Yeah.
00:11:42.23\00:11:43.57
But from a
doctor's standpoint...
00:11:43.60\00:11:46.84
Well, when he came in...
00:11:46.87\00:11:48.34
He has a history of
some mental diagnosis
00:11:48.37\00:11:53.31
and so he was...
00:11:53.34\00:11:54.68
There was concern about that,
00:11:54.71\00:11:56.34
but he was very open
to what we were doing.
00:11:56.38\00:11:58.51
He was willing to
make changes and that is...
00:11:58.55\00:12:00.92
That is big.
00:12:00.95\00:12:02.28
That's half the
battle right there, you know.
00:12:02.32\00:12:05.15
And he told me,
right when I met him,
00:12:05.19\00:12:07.32
that he likes
food, and he's a big guy.
00:12:07.36\00:12:11.99
And he says he
used to eat a lot,
00:12:12.03\00:12:13.63
not eat the right ways.
00:12:13.66\00:12:15.76
So we started sharing
with him how to change that.
00:12:15.80\00:12:19.43
He also went through a fast,
00:12:19.47\00:12:22.50
and the fast changed
00:12:22.54\00:12:24.77
his nutritional understanding
00:12:24.81\00:12:30.25
because he thought
that he couldn't live
00:12:30.28\00:12:33.48
without eating a certain amount
00:12:33.52\00:12:35.85
a certain number
of times every day.
00:12:35.88\00:12:38.12
Meat and chicken and whatever.
00:12:38.15\00:12:40.16
Whatever, but he
thought he had to eat
00:12:40.19\00:12:43.09
significant quantity of
food several times a day.
00:12:43.12\00:12:45.99
Yeah.
00:12:46.03\00:12:47.36
After fasting, he realized
that he didn't have to do that,
00:12:47.40\00:12:50.47
and he started to lose
weight, and then he felt better.
00:12:50.50\00:12:54.27
And when he felt
better, he could walk more.
00:12:54.30\00:12:56.84
When he could walk
more, his life got better.
00:12:56.87\00:13:00.58
So by the time
he was leaving here,
00:13:00.61\00:13:02.04
he was starting to feel better,
00:13:02.08\00:13:03.95
not only
emotionally but also physically,
00:13:03.98\00:13:07.22
and we were
starting to see the beginning
00:13:07.25\00:13:09.15
of change in his
body and in his lifestyle.
00:13:09.18\00:13:13.15
And that goes a long
way, makes a difference.
00:13:13.19\00:13:16.49
So from a
clinician's point of view,
00:13:16.52\00:13:19.83
you think he's doing
very well, real well.
00:13:19.86\00:13:23.83
I mean...
00:13:23.87\00:13:25.20
I think he has made
significant strides,
00:13:25.23\00:13:29.04
and he's gotten over
a hump, which is good.
00:13:29.07\00:13:33.04
And now he needs
to continue that.
00:13:33.07\00:13:34.64
Yeah, yeah.
00:13:34.68\00:13:36.01
Because that's the key.
00:13:36.04\00:13:37.38
You know, when you go home,
00:13:37.41\00:13:38.75
you've got to
implement these habits
00:13:38.78\00:13:40.62
that you learn
while you're here.
00:13:40.65\00:13:42.48
And that's what I
tell the patients is
00:13:42.52\00:13:44.25
don't wait to start your
habit until you get home,
00:13:44.29\00:13:47.09
start them now,
and continue them
00:13:47.12\00:13:50.23
when you go home.
00:13:50.26\00:13:51.59
Because if they don't...
00:13:51.63\00:13:53.73
They may never start.
00:13:53.76\00:13:55.40
And they'll revert
back to the old lifestyle
00:13:55.43\00:13:58.47
which put them in a condition
00:13:58.50\00:14:00.34
that led them to want
to come here and get well.
00:14:00.37\00:14:03.64
Right.
00:14:03.67\00:14:05.44
I see it all the time,
00:14:05.47\00:14:06.81
but I know you see it a lot too.
00:14:06.84\00:14:10.51
You know, Sister
White says that we all have
00:14:10.55\00:14:15.15
inherited and cultivated
tendencies and habits.
00:14:15.18\00:14:21.99
And those are the
things that affect our lives.
00:14:22.02\00:14:27.60
We all are born into families
00:14:27.63\00:14:29.83
and we have things
that we learn from them.
00:14:29.86\00:14:33.74
And then as we develop and
grow, we cultivate our own.
00:14:33.77\00:14:37.77
And those things are
the things that prevent us
00:14:37.81\00:14:39.54
from reaching the successes
and reaching the height
00:14:39.57\00:14:44.05
that God had intended for us.
00:14:44.08\00:14:46.05
Amen.
00:14:46.08\00:14:47.42
So we need to
break those cultivated
00:14:47.45\00:14:49.68
and inherited
tendencies and habits.
00:14:49.72\00:14:52.32
So would you say...
00:14:52.35\00:14:53.69
Is it fair to say that,
you know, to our viewers now,
00:14:53.72\00:14:58.59
and people who are depressed
00:14:58.63\00:14:59.96
and it seems to be a lot
more than actually realize it,
00:15:00.00\00:15:03.97
and I know you were at that.
00:15:04.00\00:15:05.33
But most people don't
know they're depressed.
00:15:05.37\00:15:08.07
I mean, some do
00:15:08.10\00:15:09.44
because somebody
said they were, you know?
00:15:09.47\00:15:10.81
Right, right.
00:15:10.84\00:15:12.24
But do you think
changing a lifestyle can reduce,
00:15:12.27\00:15:16.24
in fact reverse
depression on most people?
00:15:16.28\00:15:20.65
I think it can. I think it can.
00:15:20.68\00:15:22.25
I've seen it happen.
00:15:22.28\00:15:24.12
Every program, we have patients
00:15:24.15\00:15:25.85
who are
struggling with depression.
00:15:25.89\00:15:28.82
And we work with
them on their depression
00:15:28.86\00:15:31.66
but also just the lifestyle
00:15:31.69\00:15:34.40
puts your brain in
a better condition.
00:15:34.43\00:15:37.20
Your frontal lobe
has to function properly
00:15:37.23\00:15:40.24
in order for your
brain to be optimal.
00:15:40.27\00:15:42.67
And frontal lobe is so
impacted by our lifestyle.
00:15:42.70\00:15:47.31
So we've got to
have a good lifestyle,
00:15:47.34\00:15:49.04
a healthy lifestyle to
try to get our brains better.
00:15:49.08\00:15:51.98
So that means we
have to eat right,
00:15:52.01\00:15:54.15
we have to exercise,
drink plenty of water,
00:15:54.18\00:15:57.19
temperance of course, air, rest.
00:15:57.22\00:15:59.69
Rest, I find to be significant.
00:15:59.72\00:16:02.42
Absolutely. And trust in God.
00:16:02.46\00:16:04.23
Absolutely.
00:16:04.26\00:16:05.59
When I came through the program
00:16:05.63\00:16:06.96
and I realized that
this was a Christian campus
00:16:07.00\00:16:11.13
and God was
definitely in this place,
00:16:11.17\00:16:14.64
I felt so
comforted, I felt like,
00:16:14.67\00:16:18.24
well, I'm going to achieve.
00:16:18.27\00:16:19.91
And I started
getting better and better,
00:16:19.94\00:16:22.04
and I see it with our
guests, I see it with Jeff.
00:16:22.08\00:16:25.08
Yes, absolutely.
00:16:25.11\00:16:26.68
You know, every program,
00:16:26.72\00:16:28.32
we have guests who
say we can feel God here,
00:16:28.35\00:16:31.42
we see the
people, they're different,
00:16:31.45\00:16:34.82
we see that this
place is different,
00:16:34.86\00:16:36.66
we feel peace, we feel
comfort, we feel happiness,
00:16:36.69\00:16:39.83
we start to feel better.
00:16:39.86\00:16:41.40
And praise the
Lord for that, you know?
00:16:41.43\00:16:43.63
Amen. It's a blessing from God.
00:16:43.67\00:16:45.57
People have shared
with me that they think
00:16:45.60\00:16:48.24
being here is what
it's going to be like
00:16:48.27\00:16:51.64
when they get to heaven.
00:16:51.67\00:16:53.01
I say, "Well,
you might think so,
00:16:53.04\00:16:54.71
but it's going to be a
whole lot better than that."
00:16:54.74\00:16:57.05
That's right, we
can't even imagine
00:16:57.08\00:16:58.45
how good it will
be. That's right.
00:16:58.48\00:17:00.52
Well, we've run out of time,
00:17:00.55\00:17:01.88
and I want to thank you, doctor.
00:17:01.92\00:17:03.52
Good to see you, Ron.
Thank you for being here.
00:17:03.55\00:17:05.45
And thank you, friends.
00:17:05.49\00:17:06.82
But don't go away
'cause Pastor Snead is up next.
00:17:06.86\00:17:10.43
Welcome back,
friends. And welcome, Damon.
00:17:14.53\00:17:17.10
How you doing, brother?
I'm doing well, brother.
00:17:17.13\00:17:18.83
Yeah, good.
00:17:18.87\00:17:20.27
You know, I'm pretty amazed
00:17:20.30\00:17:22.64
about what's
happening with Jeff.
00:17:22.67\00:17:25.97
When I first interviewed
him, I was a little...
00:17:26.01\00:17:30.75
I was concerned
00:17:30.78\00:17:32.11
that we wouldn't get
through the interview
00:17:32.15\00:17:34.35
because he
seemed to be very upset
00:17:34.38\00:17:36.38
and emotional and such,
00:17:36.42\00:17:38.39
which I'm sure you've seen
that during your time with him,
00:17:38.42\00:17:43.86
but now, this interview,
00:17:43.89\00:17:47.16
we actually had
good communication,
00:17:47.20\00:17:49.56
he's feeling much better.
00:17:49.60\00:17:52.97
Would you share with us
00:17:53.00\00:17:54.74
how the Holy
Spirit works in the hearts
00:17:54.77\00:17:57.57
and the minds of those
of us, and including myself,
00:17:57.61\00:18:02.54
who need kind of a
mental twist to life?
00:18:02.58\00:18:07.75
Sure, those that are struggling
with some emotional troubles?
00:18:07.78\00:18:11.65
Yeah, yeah.
00:18:11.69\00:18:13.02
And that's the best
way to describe him.
00:18:13.05\00:18:14.62
You know, when I first met
him, he was really struggling.
00:18:14.66\00:18:18.76
He was sharing with me.
00:18:18.79\00:18:20.13
He's shared things
with the class too.
00:18:20.16\00:18:21.50
And so we all knew that
he was struggling at home,
00:18:21.53\00:18:24.67
struggling with decisions,
struggling with his life
00:18:24.70\00:18:27.50
which direction
it's going to take.
00:18:27.54\00:18:28.87
He was under stress,
tangled up here in a mess.
00:18:28.90\00:18:32.31
And so again he's another
one of these that you think,
00:18:32.34\00:18:34.08
"Well, how's lifestyle
going to help this guy?
00:18:34.11\00:18:36.44
I mean, these are
situational life problems."
00:18:36.48\00:18:40.78
And he shares,
00:18:40.82\00:18:42.88
you know, the issues
that he's going through,
00:18:42.92\00:18:44.75
and you think, "Whoa."
00:18:44.79\00:18:46.12
I don't know how
NEWSTART is going to...
00:18:46.15\00:18:47.96
I'm still kind of
new here, learning.
00:18:47.99\00:18:49.82
But NEWSTART
fixes almost everything.
00:18:49.86\00:18:51.89
I mean, there's no one
that can't be helped by this,
00:18:51.93\00:18:54.30
at least in some kind of way.
00:18:54.33\00:18:55.93
And I'm amazed.
00:18:55.96\00:18:57.30
So Jefferey, we have our sermon,
00:18:57.33\00:18:59.10
we have our lecture
where we do on hope.
00:18:59.13\00:19:02.64
And that particular lecture,
00:19:02.67\00:19:04.41
he honed in on
me like a laser beam
00:19:04.44\00:19:07.41
which is difficult for
him to do to pay attention.
00:19:07.44\00:19:09.48
Sure.
00:19:09.51\00:19:10.85
But he really was
listening to this concept
00:19:10.88\00:19:13.88
that God is the God of
hope, and there is no problem,
00:19:13.92\00:19:16.95
no situation,
nothing that can befall you
00:19:16.99\00:19:19.42
mentally,
physically, or spiritually,
00:19:19.45\00:19:22.06
that He can't come
in and help to untangle.
00:19:22.09\00:19:25.36
And so with Jefferey, our
little extra time together,
00:19:25.39\00:19:28.26
our counseling
time, was letting God
00:19:28.30\00:19:30.23
have access to your heart.
00:19:30.27\00:19:32.03
Opening up your heart,
00:19:32.07\00:19:33.40
not just talking
about sins or evil things
00:19:33.44\00:19:35.90
but just allowing Him permission
00:19:35.94\00:19:37.77
to come into the mind
00:19:37.81\00:19:39.47
and begin a
process of untangling
00:19:39.51\00:19:42.54
the mess that we
get ourselves in.
00:19:42.58\00:19:45.48
And Jefferey understood
00:19:45.51\00:19:46.85
that the health
message was directly related
00:19:46.88\00:19:49.12
as it allowed him
some thinking time,
00:19:49.15\00:19:51.35
it allowed him
some time to get off
00:19:51.39\00:19:52.95
his stimulants to
have a clearer mind,
00:19:52.99\00:19:55.66
and combined with this
idea of letting God come in
00:19:55.69\00:19:59.23
and start to sort
out your problems,
00:19:59.26\00:20:02.36
"Let's deal with
this one first, Jeffrey."
00:20:02.40\00:20:04.53
That's one thing I said.
God is going to tell you,
00:20:04.57\00:20:06.50
"Let's deal with
this issue first."
00:20:06.53\00:20:08.04
So that's how it
began to take it.
00:20:08.07\00:20:09.74
"Okay, I'm going to
deal with this problem first,
00:20:09.77\00:20:12.11
then I'm going to worry down
the road these other issues,"
00:20:12.14\00:20:14.64
that was driving
him crazy 'cause...
00:20:14.68\00:20:16.48
Logical.
00:20:16.51\00:20:17.85
Yeah. So logical.
00:20:17.88\00:20:19.48
Nothing wrong
with that. I like that.
00:20:19.51\00:20:22.05
Okay, you pick
up your socks first,
00:20:22.08\00:20:23.72
then pick your
trousers, your shoes...
00:20:23.75\00:20:27.16
I like that.
00:20:27.19\00:20:28.52
But that's what I
saw, I saw this change,
00:20:28.56\00:20:33.09
it only can be the hand of God.
00:20:33.13\00:20:35.26
Sure.
00:20:35.30\00:20:37.07
What are we going to
do? We did the best we can.
00:20:37.10\00:20:39.80
And by the way let
me touch on NEWSTART,
00:20:39.83\00:20:43.24
the program could
heal most any disease,
00:20:43.27\00:20:46.27
I believe that in my heart.
00:20:46.31\00:20:48.24
I believe that
anybody who comes here for...
00:20:48.28\00:20:51.75
I don't care what it is,
nobody could figure it out,
00:20:51.78\00:20:55.08
they come here, they get
well 'cause I've seen it.
00:20:55.12\00:20:57.72
Yeah.
00:20:57.75\00:20:59.09
And thank you for sharing that
00:20:59.12\00:21:00.46
because it really
means a lot to me,
00:21:00.49\00:21:02.52
especially with this young
man because he needs our prayer,
00:21:02.56\00:21:06.49
and he needs to stay
connected with us, and...
00:21:06.53\00:21:09.33
Sure.
00:21:09.36\00:21:10.70
What you're
seeing graduation night
00:21:10.73\00:21:13.20
was the man that don't
get at all worked out yet,
00:21:13.23\00:21:15.67
but a man that's got peace,
00:21:15.70\00:21:17.54
we talked about
sleeping in the boat like Jesus.
00:21:17.57\00:21:20.71
In the words, the
storm is going to rage,
00:21:20.74\00:21:22.48
the problems are
going to be there,
00:21:22.51\00:21:24.48
but as God
begins to work them out,
00:21:24.51\00:21:26.61
you can have some
peace in your life.
00:21:26.65\00:21:29.28
And so that's what
you saw graduation night,
00:21:29.32\00:21:31.29
a man that finally said,
00:21:31.32\00:21:32.69
"Okay, God, I'm
going to let You work."
00:21:32.72\00:21:35.62
And I believe the
health message had everything
00:21:35.66\00:21:37.66
in there to help him
get into the state of mind
00:21:37.69\00:21:40.63
where he could
receive that spiritual concept
00:21:40.66\00:21:43.50
to start to allow
him to have some peace.
00:21:43.53\00:21:47.14
And state of mind,
00:21:47.17\00:21:48.50
it is so important to
have the right attitude,
00:21:48.54\00:21:51.77
and he's going there,
00:21:51.81\00:21:53.54
he's going in
the right direction.
00:21:53.58\00:21:55.78
And I'm just grateful
that you're there counseling
00:21:55.81\00:21:59.91
and helping him
because he is another brother
00:21:59.95\00:22:03.05
just like you and I.
00:22:03.08\00:22:04.42
And Christ loves him
as much as the rest of us,
00:22:04.45\00:22:08.02
we must not forget to feed them,
00:22:08.06\00:22:10.16
and clothe them, and
house them, and teach them.
00:22:10.19\00:22:13.36
That's right.
00:22:13.40\00:22:14.73
Thank you,
brother. We're out of time.
00:22:14.76\00:22:16.80
But you did a great job.
00:22:16.83\00:22:18.73
Thank you,
friends, don't go away.
00:22:18.77\00:22:20.80
Stay tuned for the next segment.
00:22:20.84\00:22:22.37
Welcome to NEWSTART Now.
00:22:26.51\00:22:27.91
I'm Dr. Neil Nedley,
00:22:27.94\00:22:29.28
and with me today
is Dr. Eddie Ramirez,
00:22:29.31\00:22:32.05
one of the
researchers and physicians
00:22:32.08\00:22:34.35
here at NEWSTART,
00:22:34.38\00:22:36.38
who actually has published
scores of peer-reviewed
00:22:36.42\00:22:40.42
scientific studies in
the medical literature.
00:22:40.46\00:22:43.22
And today, we're
going to be highlighting
00:22:43.26\00:22:45.39
particularly one
aspect of NEWSTART
00:22:45.43\00:22:48.53
what the N stands
for, the area of nutrition.
00:22:48.56\00:22:52.73
And I know there's a lot
of controversy out there,
00:22:52.77\00:22:56.04
people think maybe the
Paleo Dietis the best diet,
00:22:56.07\00:23:00.11
maybe the Mediterranean diet,
00:23:00.14\00:23:03.11
maybe, you know, some sort
of modified Florida Beach diet,
00:23:03.14\00:23:07.82
but actually
NEWSTART has demonstrated
00:23:07.85\00:23:11.09
that an ideal
diet not just NEWSTART
00:23:11.12\00:23:13.66
but other places as well,
00:23:13.69\00:23:15.26
an ideal diet is one
that is modeled at NEWSTART,
00:23:15.29\00:23:18.63
and it's actually the
easiest diet to comply with.
00:23:18.66\00:23:22.76
A lot of people think,
00:23:22.80\00:23:24.13
"Hey, this diet at
NEWSTART is too extreme,
00:23:24.17\00:23:26.53
how am I going to be
able to comply with this?"
00:23:26.57\00:23:28.77
Actually, you'll much
better comply with this diet
00:23:28.80\00:23:31.84
than you will even the American
Diabetes Association diet
00:23:31.87\00:23:35.81
because once you learn
it, it's pretty simple.
00:23:35.84\00:23:38.45
Tell us about what
this diet is Dr. Ramirez.
00:23:38.48\00:23:41.05
This consists of
the best ingredients
00:23:41.08\00:23:45.55
is that vegetables,
fruits, legumes, whole grains,
00:23:45.59\00:23:51.39
and a little bit of nuts,
00:23:51.43\00:23:52.99
that's what we call
a good complete diet.
00:23:53.03\00:23:56.10
It tastes good,
it's good for you.
00:23:56.13\00:23:58.33
And as we were
publishing in this paper
00:23:58.37\00:24:00.87
that will be coming up later
in the journal Atherosclerosis,
00:24:00.90\00:24:04.44
thrombosis, and
vascular biology,
00:24:04.47\00:24:06.57
it helps improve
glucose metabolism,
00:24:06.61\00:24:09.78
a huge problem today.
00:24:09.81\00:24:11.15
Yeah.
00:24:11.18\00:24:12.51
And I tends to occur
00:24:12.55\00:24:14.08
when you have
the gene for diabetes
00:24:14.12\00:24:16.72
and you have the lifestyle
that's conducive for it,
00:24:16.75\00:24:20.36
diabetes is not
just a genetic condition,
00:24:20.39\00:24:23.02
genetics loads the gun,
00:24:23.06\00:24:25.36
but lifestyle pulls the trigger.
00:24:25.39\00:24:27.63
And so how many patients were
studied in this particular...
00:24:27.66\00:24:30.77
So in this paper, we
were studying 1,827 patients,
00:24:30.80\00:24:37.01
a good, big,
nice group of patients
00:24:37.04\00:24:41.28
that went through
our 18-day program.
00:24:41.31\00:24:43.81
And including in
that group were very
00:24:43.85\00:24:46.31
vulnerable
populations to diabetes
00:24:46.35\00:24:49.35
such as Native Americans,
00:24:49.38\00:24:50.89
Hispanics, Half
African-Americans,
00:24:50.92\00:24:53.42
and Asian people
00:24:53.46\00:24:54.86
which are very
vulnerable as they gain weight,
00:24:54.89\00:24:57.66
they develop many
metabolic problems.
00:24:57.69\00:25:00.16
Ethnic groups, really
throughout the ethnic spectrum
00:25:00.20\00:25:04.00
but one thing that
tended to be similar
00:25:04.03\00:25:06.43
among most of these diabetics
00:25:06.47\00:25:08.30
no matter what their
ethnicity was being overweight.
00:25:08.34\00:25:11.77
And how overweight
were some of these people,
00:25:11.81\00:25:14.21
Dr. Ramirez? Yes.
00:25:14.24\00:25:15.58
Some actually have
severely more weight, obesity.
00:25:15.61\00:25:19.98
We're talking about 495 pounds,
00:25:20.02\00:25:23.28
some of the
participants in this study.
00:25:23.32\00:25:25.09
Okay.
00:25:25.12\00:25:26.45
So almost 500
pounds, these are people
00:25:26.49\00:25:29.26
that probably
would have difficulty
00:25:29.29\00:25:31.13
walking across a
room, they're so big,
00:25:31.16\00:25:35.00
but they were able
to come to NEWSTART,
00:25:35.03\00:25:38.63
and what happened to them?
00:25:38.67\00:25:40.37
And that's the beauty of this,
even those people have hope
00:25:40.40\00:25:44.11
as they come to
the NEWSTART program,
00:25:44.14\00:25:46.11
then we start
changing their lifestyle,
00:25:46.14\00:25:49.38
that group in
particular the people
00:25:49.41\00:25:51.78
that had severe obesity,
00:25:51.81\00:25:54.52
it was 20-plus pounds
that they were able to lose
00:25:54.55\00:25:58.72
during this 18-day program.
00:25:58.75\00:26:01.46
And as we've had highlighted
before, that's just the start.
00:26:01.49\00:26:04.03
Many of them are
losing 140 pounds
00:26:04.06\00:26:06.70
by the time a
year and a half goes by
00:26:06.73\00:26:10.10
because this is a diet
that you can actually stay on.
00:26:10.13\00:26:13.37
We train you here at
NEWSTART to be on the best diet
00:26:13.40\00:26:16.97
and stay on the
best diet at home.
00:26:17.01\00:26:19.21
Anything else you'd like
to reveal about this diet?
00:26:19.24\00:26:21.38
Yes. On average, 108
of glucose, at the end,
00:26:21.41\00:26:26.01
they had 102 glucose,
00:26:26.05\00:26:28.78
and that's after some
of them actually decrease
00:26:28.82\00:26:31.15
in their medication of diabetes.
00:26:31.19\00:26:33.22
Okay, so their
blood sugars went down,
00:26:33.25\00:26:35.49
while their medications
were able to be reduced
00:26:35.52\00:26:37.79
at the same time.
00:26:37.83\00:26:39.16
So that's something beautiful,
we'd like for you to reach
00:26:39.19\00:26:41.96
under a 100 here in
the American measurement,
00:26:42.00\00:26:45.03
European and Australian
is a little bit different.
00:26:45.07\00:26:47.74
But that's the goal that
we would like for you to have.
00:26:47.77\00:26:51.24
Under 100, and so by the time
00:26:51.27\00:26:53.24
they were through
with the program, 102,
00:26:53.27\00:26:55.68
but that means
they're still going to sty
00:26:55.71\00:26:58.01
on the program at home
00:26:58.05\00:26:59.41
and easily be able
to make it under 100.
00:26:59.45\00:27:03.15
Really, what we're
training you for is for life,
00:27:03.18\00:27:06.49
and you're just
doing the first 18 days
00:27:06.52\00:27:09.02
of the rest of your
life here at NEWSTART.
00:27:09.06\00:27:12.26
And so I would
encourage you to consider,
00:27:12.29\00:27:14.50
come into Weimar
to get a NEWSTART now.
00:27:14.53\00:27:19.23
