01:10 Hi friends and welcome to another edition of NEWSTART Now. 01:16 I'm your host, Ron Giannoni. 01:18 If you believe in miracles or if you don't believe in miracles 01:23 I want you to stand by and watch what I'm going to show you next. 01:31 I'm here, I've lost my memory a part of it and I forget a lot 01:38 of things and they say it's going to really help me and 01:45 wife has really researched it and everything. A lot of 01:48 tremendous success here. My balance, you know, I was falling 01:54 I guide fishing on the river and I was falling all the time. So 02:00 anyways I was checked out and I had had a mini stroke and they 02:06 thought that that was from the accident I had elk hunting. So 02:13 they said they could help me here also. Before I leave here 02:19 I would like to have my chole- sterol and I'm feeling a lot 02:25 better, in better shape. I lost 187 pounds already in the last 02:31 eight years. I've kept it off. I had size 44 pants and now I'm 02:37 a size 32. So I'm tickled with it but I've still got to lose 02:43 some cholesterol and so forth. 02:48 Welcome back friends. Leonard, how are you sir? 02:53 Fine sir. 02:54 Well I just said watch this because you're about to see a 02:58 miracle. Well you are a miracle, at least what's 03:04 happened to you in the last 16 days or 17. But who's 03:10 counting? Yeah. Tell us now how is your blood pressure? 03:17 Blood pressure? I'm just points away from being OK with 03:25 everything. 03:26 Are you on the blood pressure meds? 03:28 He took me off of them. When I was in Farmington I had like 10 03:34 different medications for high blood pressure and... 03:36 Ten for high blood pressure?! 03:40 Well for my neuropathy and blood pressure and blood sugar. 03:45 Oh for all the... 03:47 He took me off of them. Today the doctor got the final blood 03:53 work and everything, so he took me off the pill. 03:58 So what is your A1C, do you remember? No. 04:01 Do you remember what your morning glucose is? 04:04 Well my blood count, I started at I want to say about 170 and 04:10 I'm down to about 103. 04:15 One O three. Your there. All right. Congratulations. 04:18 Now the 170, you were on metformin? 04:21 Yes, he took that away right away. 04:24 Right away? Yes. How about the insulin? 04:26 I wasn't on insulin. 04:28 OK it was just metformin. 04:30 Metformin. 04:31 So you're off that. 04:32 Yes. He took me off all the pills. 04:35 Yes. Yes. And you had neuropathy and tell us what neuropathy 04:40 feels like? 04:42 Oh, you get stinging in your feet and so forth and whatever 04:48 else I had. Memory loss and all that and boy it's... I feel 04:54 wonderful. 04:55 And your feet now, how do you feel? 04:56 Great. We're walking 10, 13 miles a day now. They wanted 05:02 8 as a max and so... 05:06 So you walked 13? You had to show them up, huh? 05:09 Oh no, no. My wife and I get up early. They open the doors at 05:15 6 o'clock. We're up at 10... We left about 10, 15 after 4 and we 05:22 just cranked about 5 miles in the morning. 05:27 Before breakfast? 05:28 Oh yeah. Then breaks during the day, we'd catch a mile or so. 05:33 In the evening time we'd catch 4 or 5 more. 05:36 That's awesome. Did you walk that much before you got here? 05:41 Yes, not that many miles but in Farmington has a beautiful river 05:46 walk and it goes for miles and miles and it goes along the 05:51 Animas River. So when I take my dog walking every day and we 05:57 walk and walk and she loves it. 05:59 So how much weight have you lost? 06:02 He said I lost almost 10 pounds, 9 point something pounds I lost. 06:09 You weren't obese. You were a little heavy, right? You did 06:13 want to lose some weight. Yes. 06:15 And get my blood sugar counts and everything down but... 06:18 Oh, I'd say four years ago I started a diet and I 06:25 had size 44 pants and now my 32's are fitting kind of big. 06:30 Wow, that's wonderful. What about the cooking? 06:37 Cooking? Yeah. Well they got us on two meals a day here and you 06:42 get the food that they feed you. 06:45 Did you get hungry around six or seven? 06:47 No because I started this before on my own. I read a book by, I 06:52 can't think of who he is, but he started this a long time ago 06:56 and he said people are programmed to eat from early 07:05 on. When it was morning you got up and expected breakfast 07:08 Then at noon time you started wondering what am I going 07:12 eat for noon. In the evening time you had supper. 07:16 And he says no. Your body tells you when you're hungry so I 07:22 started going at that philosophy and sometimes I'd eat one meal 07:26 a day. Most of the time I'd eat about 8:30 in the morning and 07:31 then that'd get me through until about 3 o'clock. Then if I ate 07:35 my meal at 3 o'clock that got me through the night and so in the 07:40 What about the mental clarity? You notice any difference 07:43 with that? 07:45 Well I'm not forgetting as much as when I had memory loss but 07:49 Dr. K was really excited about it today. Oh, I recommend 07:56 this. I recommend it. The doctors are really good. They 08:00 work with you. They check on you. They care about you here. 08:04 It's just a wonderful place to be. My wife and I both said 08:08 we're having a great time here, we really did. We made a lot of, 08:12 a lot of friends. 08:13 Yeah, you had a big group plus the staff so you met like 40 new 08:21 people or more. 08:22 Yes, yes. This is a really good place to come if you have a 08:28 problem or something. You go away feeling good. I talked to 08:32 people at lunch today because everybody is getting their final 08:36 reports and everybody's tickled. They've got some good scores and 08:41 that they didn't plan on so it turned out to be just wonderful. 08:46 Well I'm very happy for you. 08:49 Well I'm happy, too. 08:50 Yeah, to say the least. What was your favorite part of the entire 08:55 program? 08:57 Favorite part? Oh I'd have to say that the spa, because we had 09:04 a young man in there, Philip, and what a wonderful person. 09:11 You had that hot and cold whirlpool. That was a killer 09:17 and the sauna was really good and then we had that hot and 09:22 cold shower. Then you get the massage and boy he can give you 09:27 a massage and you come away from that feeling really good. 09:33 We've run out of time. I want to thank you. 09:35 Thank you so much. 09:37 We'll be in touch. 09:38 I hope so. 09:40 Thank you friends but don't go away. Dr. K is up next. 09:43 Every year in America there are over one million deaths because 09:50 type two diabetes and chronic obesity. This includes heart 09:54 attacks and strokes. That's six and a half 747s crashing every 09:58 day. What's even worse is that the fix is easy. It's your 10:03 lifestyle. Wouldn't it be nice if you could actually add 10:05 quality years to your life rather than dying one organ at a 10:09 time? Obesity and diabetes are the cause of over a million 10:12 deaths per year. Most diseases are reversible because most 10:16 diseases are lifestyle diseases, especially type 2 diabetes and 10:19 chronic obesity. Seriously it can be reversed and the quality 10:25 of your life can be renewed. Call NEWSTART today at 10:29 1-800-525-9192. You will see dramatic changes in the first 10:36 few days of our program and you will be on the road to a better 10:39 more robust quality of life. The NEWSTART programs are simple 10:43 and effective. 10:44 Welcome back friends. Help me welcome Dr. Kuninobo. 10:51 How you doing, Ron? 10:53 Do you like to be called Dr. K, Dr. Andrew, what do you like? 10:56 Well most people say Dr. K purely because Kuninobo is such 10:59 a long name. They don't want to stumble all over it. 11:03 It's like my name, yeah. So getting right into this 11:07 interview about Leonard. Now I really like this guy, I really 11:10 kind of fell in love with him. 11:12 Nice guy, nice guy. 11:13 Just such a wonderful man. He had all these problems. I say 11:18 HAD and that's a segue into what the doctor's going to tell 11:21 us. Because when he came here he had neuropathy, he had blood 11:25 pressure, diabetes and who knows what else and I don't 11:29 know the rest of the story, but maybe you can share with us. 11:32 Sure. A lot of things had happened to Leonard over the 11:35 years. Diabetes, as you mentioned, high blood pressure, 11:39 high cholesterol. Unfortunately somewhere along the line he had 11:43 some kind of I'm going to say a neurological event, he said 11:47 it was a stroke. The history was a little interesting how 11:52 that came about. But it did affect his memory some. 11:54 It did? Yes. So you think it was a stroke? 11:58 Yeah, he probably did have a stroke, I would imagine. Minor? 12:01 Yeah. The thing is this is a really active guy and a lot of 12:03 other things had happened along the way, too, so I can't say 12:07 whether it was due to lifestyle disease or one of the injuries 12:11 from his active lifestyle. 12:13 I like the way you put that, "from his active lifestyle. " 12:21 This is a guy that, fun guy, I mean. He guides with a fishing 12:26 company or maybe it's his own, I'm not sure. Yeah, he's a 12:32 master fly fisherman and takes people out fly fishing. He lives 12:37 in a beautiful area. Anyway, the reason I say his active 12:40 lifestyle is that he had an injury along the way too. I'm 12:43 not sure if that may have played a role when he got 12:48 from a, I think it was a donkey, or something. 12:51 Yeah, I think he shared that during the interview. I don't 12:54 want to ride a donkey to begin with. 12:56 Well it's supposed to be one of those safe ones. Anyway things 13:00 do happen all the time. 13:01 Yes, this poor guy got hurt. But isn't it amazing how he's 13:06 changed just in a couple weeks? 13:07 You know, he was on a journey before he even came here. 13:11 One of the interesting things, he had been actually reading 13:16 about doing things better and changed his lifestyle to a great 13:21 degree. But still was having problems getting to his goals. 13:26 I think it's interesting, there is a lot of information out 13:30 there people are reading about and getting interested in a 13:33 healthier lifestyle, for example a plant based diet. He tried to 13:38 apply it as best he could but sometimes you need the help of 13:42 a formal program. 13:43 Well do you think it's fair to say, oh I'm going to say it 13:48 anyway; I too was one of those people looking for an answer to 13:53 a lot of questions I had about my life and I read an Atkins 13:58 book and he said eat steak eat bacon and this and that, all the 14:03 fat and protein and you'll lose all this weight and he's right. 14:07 It worked. 14:08 Yeah people lose weight on that kind of a diet. 14:10 But all of a sudden I had open heart surgery a couple of months 14:15 later. 14:16 Yeah that Atkins diet is in that category they call the 14:18 paleo diet and people will lose weight on that. But the problem 14:21 is it's an outside change and you don't want to just look good 14:26 on the outside. 14:27 Well I do. 14:29 Let me rephrase it. Let me put the emphasis where it belongs. 14:33 We don't want to JUST look good on the outside. We want to look 14:37 good on the inside too. What I mean by that is we want our 14:39 insides to get healthy too. 14:41 Oh absolutely. I totally get it. But you know the only reason I 14:47 bring that up is there are people who are diagnosing 14:53 themselves and they see this and that and they think those are 14:56 the problems. They start making corrections through whatever 15:02 and they get worse. So what would you recommend? 15:06 Well I think it's good to find a physician who understands 15:12 the plant based diet and how effective that can be in helping 15:16 someone get better. But it goes beyond that because it's not 15:19 just diet and we've talked about this here before. The NEWSTART 15:25 program is not just N. Right. There are the rest of the 15:29 letters in NEWSTART. Absolutely. And they all work together 15:34 to help a person to get better. Because we're not just our 15:40 digestive track and eating. There are these other systems 15:43 that interact. So the exercise is important. Water is important 15:47 Sunshine and the whole bit, temperance, fresh air, rest. 15:52 Of course, what I think is most unique about our program 15:55 compared to a lot of lifestyle programs is the influence that 15:58 God has on this program. In fact he's the glue that holds these 16:02 things together and really helps people to apply it and then 16:05 maintain it when they leave here as well. 16:07 You know, when I came here several years ago and my doctor 16:12 said words like that and prayed with me, I was just like wow! A 16:17 doctor praying with me. I could never even get in to see my 16:22 doctor let alone him stopping to pray with me. 16:25 That's one of the joys we have. 16:27 I know, you guys do a good job. But you know we've run out of 16:32 time so I want to thank and let the viewers know that they can 16:36 see you if they want to make an appointment. They can call 16:41 530-637-4025. Dr. K good to see you. 16:47 Good to see you also. Ron take care. 16:49 Don't go away. We'll be right back. 16:51 Welcome back friends. Damon, how are you? 16:57 I'm doing fine my friend. 16:59 You know, we were talking about this guy who you got to know 17:05 pretty well. But my experience about coaches, they're not real 17:10 coachable. You know what I mean? Leonard's a great guy and as you 17:15 could see in our interview, he had a lot of good things to say. 17:21 And you know, I've run across him several times on campus here 17:26 mainly at hydro because I was helping in hydro this session. 17:30 But what was your experience with him? 17:35 Yeah, he comes from a very rough family, very rough part of the 17:39 world. He was telling me that growing up he had four killings 17:44 on his front porch throughout you know as a child growing up 17:47 in that part of the world. People would come to his house 17:52 and he saw a lot of terrible things. So he had a very somber 17:57 outlook on life and he wanted to help. He grew up being a very 18:01 repentant kind of guy, very forgiving kind of guy, very 18:04 loving kind of guy compared to what he came from. So he gets 18:07 into coaching, you know, the... 18:09 I do... 18:10 Yeah, he becomes a coach but the experience with coaches 18:14 with their health, they think that because their exercising, 18:19 they're out there running around with the kids that they're going 18:22 be OK. Looking back on my high school years, my coaches, they 18:27 were always outside exercising but they were not always the 18:32 picture of health. So this is his story. You know, and he's 18:37 feeling very secure in his health, he's exercising, but all 18:41 the while the internal, the other things that are out of 18:45 whack. You know, the missing of the diet, the nutrition side of 18:50 it. Right. And the fresh water and these other issues are 18:52 catching up with him so he ends up with type II diabetes and it 18:56 lands him here. And he's realizing the coach now needs to 18:59 be coached. 19:01 But you know, attending all these meetings, there's some 50 19:05 meetings, lectures if you will by board certified physicians 19:11 yourself, plus you, myself included. You know, people are 19:15 going to go away with a lot more knowledge than when they got 19:20 here, even then ones that think they know it already. And I 19:24 see that this would be the case. Although we may not be as 19:29 coachable as we'd like, he's a very smart, intelligent man. 19:33 Sure. I know he got the message. 19:37 Yeah he was open. When I asked him what was the big take-away 19:40 for you for this program. He said everything. Really? I mean 19:44 he was grasping the concepts that we got to have this total 19:48 full orb experience to fully benefit from it. I think that 19:53 he'll be one of those guys that recognizes that I can't go home 19:56 and do things the old way. He turned out to be somewhat 20:01 coachable. 20:02 He might be our next poster boy. 20:05 Maybe so. - Or man or elder. 20:07 Well that's so good to hear. I wasn't aware of that. 20:10 You know one of the things that impressed me so, he gets the 20:14 physical side of it, but he also understands... We had a lot of 20:17 great spiritual conversations, him and I. He told me that one 20:20 of the things that stuck with him throughout most of his life 20:24 was something his dad told him that when you're in the deepest, 20:27 darkest corner of your life, if you cry out to God he will 20:31 always forgive. He's a loving God. And he had that very 20:36 loving kind... You could see how he was a great coach for young 20:40 men, because he understood this idea that God's a forgiving God. 20:43 So that's one of the great things that I took from him on 20:49 that side of things, from the spiritual side. 20:51 So if you were to give a message to our friends at home who are 20:56 viewing this program right now what would you say as far as the 21:02 spiritual aspects of a new start in life? 21:05 Oh I would say that you cannot underestimate it. We have a 21:10 tendency to think that our spirituality with God is right 21:14 where it needs to be, but that is never the case. There's 21:17 always a deepening and sometimes we're stuck in 21:21 shallow waters and we really need to take a deeper dive with 21:25 God and sometimes coming to places like this, like our 21:28 friend Leonard realizes that, you know. But through the health 21:31 message, through all... you know these doctors are also preaching 21:34 to them. You know, it's not just me. They realize that there is 21:37 deeper experience with God that we can have. 21:41 Amen. And you know I've learned that doing Bible studies with 21:45 you. Which we got to get back into the groove. Right now 21:48 we've run out of time. It goes so fast. Good to see you brother 21:54 I'll see you soon. Don't go away we'll be right back. 22:02 ¤ ¤ 22:34 Welcome to Weimar College update I'm Dr. Neil Nedley, president 22:38 of Weimar Institute and there's a lot of exciting things 22:42 happening here at the college. Many people are not aware that 22:45 we're a truly higher education institution where our credits 22:50 are transferred to major universities and people get into 22:54 medical school and to all sorts of advanced careers by doing 22:59 their undergraduate program here at Weimar. Many people do know 23:02 that we have a premed program, now a nursing program. We've had 23:07 a religion and theology program for years. We've also had 23:11 education and now an emphasis in psychology and music. But one 23:17 of our newer programs is business. Now why business at 23:22 Weimar whose vision is healing a hurting world. Here to discuss 23:30 this new program is the chair of our business program Laura 23:34 Boyer. Laura tell us a little bit about what's happening with 23:39 our Weimar business program. 23:40 Well one thing that we focus on at this program is the 23:48 importance of stewardship and I think that's such a key thing in 23:51 today's society. Because what do we think of America's issues, 23:55 we think of the debt. We think of how the 23:59 economy is and how people just spend way more than they have. 24:03 And what we're instilling in the students is how do we correct 24:06 that, how do we follow God's principles with stewardship. So we 24:11 take a deep look at that and students are gaining principles 24:16 that they can apply to the work later on also. So how do you 24:21 lucrative business that can be used for mission? 24:24 Is by being a good steward. 24:26 Exactly. And you know one of things that you've done 24:28 a great job with Laura is connecting our business students 24:32 here with great business leaders 24:36 who understand that concept of stewardship so well. Tell us a 24:41 little bit about those connections. 24:43 So last semester we had a class called business seminar. 24:46 It is a two credit class and the students had lecturers come in 24:50 that came in every week for about one to three hours 24:54 depending on the person's time availability and they share with 24:58 the students about how they used mission in their business. 25:02 It was just amazing to see the light bulb click and how would 25:06 they later be able to apply it in their lives. 25:08 So much in regards to your success as a business student is 25:13 your ability to make connections What you have provided here is 25:17 our students being able to connect and do internships at some of 25:21 most exciting business opportunities in the nation that 25:26 are utilizing their business in regards to mission as well. I 25:30 know we've had students transfer in even from other business 25:34 programs who have been telling us how much better this is for 25:38 several reasons. Why is Weimar business program thought to be 25:42 better by these transfer students who've seen the 25:45 business programs at other universities? 25:47 Well like you mentioned the connections. The caliber that 25:50 they were getting at their other schools is not the same caliber 25:53 that they've been getting here. It's those connections and also 25:57 the small class sizes. They get a lot more attention here. The 26:01 teachers have more time to meet with them after class if they 26:04 have questions or need mentoring. I've also had guest lecturers 26:08 come in and say we want your students. Give us an intern this 26:12 summer if you can. It's just amazing to see the relationships 26:16 getting built. 26:17 Well we're excited about what's happening at Weimar Institute 26:21 business program. We have a track in... 26:23 Tell us what the tracks are like. 26:25 We have healthcare administration and then we also have 26:28 organizational leadership. 26:30 And I know your advanced degrees in postgraduate were in health 26:34 care administration. Yes. And so organizational leadership is 26:38 also crucially important. And that's why we started business 26:42 here at Weimar. Because in our vision of healing a hurting 26:46 world we need leaders to be able to set up new startups to help 26:51 us in this whole process of healing a hurting world and also 26:55 in regards to administering health care. We can have great 26:59 clinicians but if we don't have administrators to work with them 27:02 it doesn't work too well. 27:03 Yes, that's very true. One of the guests mentioned yesterday 27:07 how a lot of doctors have a hard time managing their money and so 27:12 if they just had a business person running the clinic they 27:15 would do a lot better for staying on top of things and 27:18 retiring earlier. 27:20 Well thank you for coming to Weimar Institute and starting 27:24 this great business program with your team of professors. And 27:28 thank you for watching Weimar College update. 27:31 Join us next time. 27:35 Well friends that's it for today but join us next week for 27:39 another episode. In the meantime pick up the phone and give us a 27:44 call at 800-525-9192. Mention the NEWSTART Now program and 27:52 receive the NEWSTART special. 27:57 ¤ ¤ |
