Hi, friends,
00:01:11.33\00:01:12.67
and welcome to another
edition of NEWSTART Now.
00:01:12.70\00:01:15.14
I'm your host, Ron Giannoni.
00:01:15.17\00:01:17.67
In our studio with me today,
00:01:17.71\00:01:19.41
I have a most
beautiful young lady
00:01:19.44\00:01:22.18
by the name of Terri Crumpton,
00:01:22.21\00:01:24.55
used to be Crump,
now it's Crumpton.
00:01:24.58\00:01:28.08
And let's take a look
at when she first arrived.
00:01:28.12\00:01:30.42
I have diabetes that's been
out of control for over a year.
00:01:34.16\00:01:39.63
I have brachial plexus damage
00:01:39.66\00:01:42.96
where I can't
lift my arms or hands.
00:01:43.00\00:01:46.43
I have blood pressure,
and I have fibromyalgia,
00:01:46.47\00:01:50.64
and I have cholesterol problems.
00:01:50.67\00:01:55.18
My main goal is
to get my diabetes
00:01:55.21\00:01:59.15
under control
managed by a good diet
00:01:59.18\00:02:03.82
and no medicine,
00:02:03.85\00:02:05.22
and it's the same
from my blood pressure
00:02:05.25\00:02:07.96
and cholesterol and be a witness
00:02:07.99\00:02:11.73
not just in Word
only but by my body.
00:02:11.76\00:02:16.13
Someone will see me and know
00:02:16.16\00:02:19.17
that I represent our
soon coming Lord, the king.
00:02:19.20\00:02:23.20
Welcome back, friends.
00:02:26.51\00:02:27.84
Help me welcome, Terri.
00:02:27.88\00:02:29.21
I know you can't reach out,
00:02:29.24\00:02:30.58
so I'm going to reach over
and just squeeze your hand.
00:02:30.61\00:02:31.95
Thank you, Ron.
00:02:31.98\00:02:33.48
Yeah, now the viewers know
00:02:33.52\00:02:37.45
that you have some problems
with your arms and such.
00:02:37.49\00:02:40.06
Right.
00:02:40.09\00:02:41.42
But we're going to splice
in that exercise you are doing
00:02:41.46\00:02:45.69
and let them see
how you're progressing.
00:02:45.73\00:02:48.16
Oh, God is so good. Amen.
00:02:48.20\00:02:50.80
I'd like you to share now.
00:02:50.83\00:02:53.07
Before the interview started,
00:02:53.10\00:02:54.54
you were telling me
how blessed you felt.
00:02:54.57\00:02:57.01
Tell me what you
mean again by blessed.
00:02:57.04\00:03:00.24
What I feel is this
program is so much more
00:03:00.28\00:03:05.28
than I thought it would be.
00:03:05.31\00:03:08.58
To have your doctors and your...
00:03:08.62\00:03:11.65
When you go to a blood draw
00:03:11.69\00:03:13.05
and have them pray for you
00:03:13.09\00:03:14.46
before they stick you
a 1,000 times or to have,
00:03:14.49\00:03:18.79
you know, the nurses...
00:03:18.83\00:03:20.73
And it's just such
a spiritual experience
00:03:20.76\00:03:26.77
every day, all day.
00:03:26.80\00:03:29.80
So much love, so much caring.
00:03:29.84\00:03:32.94
I've never been
to an institution
00:03:32.97\00:03:36.08
that made me feel so much love.
00:03:36.11\00:03:39.51
So I'm assuming now
00:03:39.55\00:03:42.28
that this program has
met your expectations.
00:03:42.32\00:03:47.02
Oh my! And more.
00:03:47.06\00:03:48.52
And more. And more.
00:03:48.56\00:03:50.16
I can see it. Yes.
00:03:50.19\00:03:52.53
That's so wonderful.
00:03:52.56\00:03:53.90
What did you like so
much about the program?
00:03:53.93\00:03:56.56
Well, I loved each and every...
00:03:56.60\00:04:02.50
Every evening, we had lectures,
00:04:02.54\00:04:04.54
and everything that
you needed to know...
00:04:04.57\00:04:10.08
The information
that was provided us,
00:04:10.11\00:04:15.75
so much information to help you
00:04:15.78\00:04:19.89
to move further and
further in your journey.
00:04:19.92\00:04:23.83
And any questions that you have,
00:04:23.86\00:04:26.90
they're more than willing
00:04:26.93\00:04:28.63
to make sure
that you understand,
00:04:28.66\00:04:31.10
and so that you can be
the best that you can be.
00:04:31.13\00:04:34.57
What do you think of
our chaplain, Damon Snead?
00:04:34.60\00:04:37.41
Oh my gosh!
00:04:37.44\00:04:39.07
That man's
ministry changed my life.
00:04:39.11\00:04:41.18
I got
re-baptized, you know. Yes.
00:04:41.21\00:04:43.35
We dedicated my life
in my diet to the Lord
00:04:43.38\00:04:46.92
and that is the only
way this has been possible,
00:04:46.95\00:04:51.65
and it has not been a struggle.
00:04:51.69\00:04:53.46
You were baptized.
00:04:53.49\00:04:54.96
Get this... Yes.
00:04:54.99\00:04:56.62
Thirteen years
after I was baptized
00:04:56.66\00:05:00.16
in the same
church, in the same place,
00:05:00.20\00:05:05.60
almost on the same
day, ain't that quite?
00:05:05.63\00:05:07.37
Oh my goodness, Ron.
00:05:07.40\00:05:09.37
Thirteen years
ago, I was baptized...
00:05:09.40\00:05:11.54
Okay. Where you were.
00:05:11.57\00:05:13.31
Praise God.
00:05:13.34\00:05:14.68
Damon didn't do
the baptism. Okay.
00:05:14.71\00:05:16.85
Actually, Pastor Olspa did.
00:05:16.88\00:05:19.05
Okay.
00:05:19.08\00:05:20.42
But I joined the
church. What a beautiful church.
00:05:20.45\00:05:23.59
Beautiful church, yeah. Yes.
00:05:23.62\00:05:25.85
And thank you so
much for sharing that.
00:05:25.89\00:05:29.56
Oh, yes!
00:05:29.59\00:05:30.93
This is more
than my expectations.
00:05:30.96\00:05:33.66
I feel like I can go forward.
00:05:33.70\00:05:36.43
I can move forward.
00:05:36.46\00:05:37.80
I can make it because I want to.
00:05:37.83\00:05:41.10
Now how much
weight did you lose?
00:05:41.14\00:05:42.70
I know you want
to lose some weight.
00:05:42.74\00:05:44.21
How much you
lost? I lost 20 pounds.
00:05:44.24\00:05:46.21
Twenty pounds? Yes.
00:05:46.24\00:05:47.58
Where did it go?
00:05:47.61\00:05:49.04
Do you ever think about that?
00:05:49.08\00:05:50.41
I left it on the
track because I'm walking.
00:05:50.45\00:05:53.05
I'm walking anywhere from
10,000 to 12,000 steps a day.
00:05:53.08\00:05:57.99
And how many miles is that?
00:05:58.02\00:06:00.26
Four, five... Like 4 or 5 miles.
00:06:00.29\00:06:03.22
Yeah, good for you.
00:06:03.26\00:06:04.59
And my husband's
doing it with me,
00:06:04.63\00:06:06.06
and in some days,
I've gone out by myself.
00:06:06.09\00:06:08.96
Awesome. Awesome. Yes.
00:06:09.00\00:06:11.27
So what was your favorite
part of the entire program?
00:06:11.30\00:06:15.47
I love the cooking class.
00:06:18.47\00:06:21.38
So awesome.
00:06:21.41\00:06:23.65
The cooking class,
and she's so dynamic,
00:06:23.68\00:06:26.31
and she knows what
she's doing, and she...
00:06:26.35\00:06:28.92
Michelle, yes.
Michelle is awesome.
00:06:28.95\00:06:31.92
And my meetings
00:06:31.95\00:06:34.52
with the
clergymen and counselor,
00:06:34.56\00:06:37.46
those were key.
00:06:37.49\00:06:38.83
I really broke down and
broke through some barriers
00:06:38.86\00:06:42.40
that were
holding me back in life.
00:06:42.43\00:06:45.57
And so that has freed me
up to allow God to come in
00:06:45.60\00:06:51.67
and that His will
be done in my life.
00:06:51.71\00:06:53.98
Now they take you
off any medications?
00:06:54.01\00:06:56.34
I was off my insulin at first
00:06:56.38\00:07:00.35
but my sugars just kept
skyrocketing up and down.
00:07:00.38\00:07:06.72
So I am off my
metformin, I am off of my,
00:07:06.76\00:07:11.76
what do you call those?
00:07:11.79\00:07:13.19
Statins. I'm off my statin.
00:07:13.23\00:07:15.23
I'm off my...
00:07:15.26\00:07:18.00
I'm on one blood pressure
day instead of twice a day.
00:07:18.03\00:07:22.10
And s I'm off quite...
00:07:22.14\00:07:26.64
I'm off more than I'm on.
00:07:26.68\00:07:30.11
So I'm still on insulin,
00:07:30.15\00:07:31.75
but I'm on a
low dose of insulin.
00:07:31.78\00:07:35.18
Oh, who's your doctor here?
00:07:35.22\00:07:36.82
Dr. Lukens? Dr. Lukens.
00:07:36.85\00:07:38.55
Awesome.
00:07:38.59\00:07:39.92
And you're going to
stay in touch with him?
00:07:39.95\00:07:41.29
Yes, I am. Good.
00:07:41.32\00:07:42.66
He's starting a new program,
00:07:42.69\00:07:44.03
and I'm going to be able
to keep in touch with him.
00:07:44.06\00:07:46.43
Good. Good. Yes.
00:07:46.46\00:07:47.93
Awesome. Amazing.
00:07:47.96\00:07:50.03
How was your massage therapy?
00:07:50.07\00:07:54.67
The girl was fantastic,
00:07:54.70\00:07:57.11
and she made it
a personal mission.
00:07:57.14\00:08:00.31
She prayed and asked God
00:08:00.34\00:08:01.74
to use her in
bringing healing to my life.
00:08:01.78\00:08:07.02
And through that,
00:08:07.05\00:08:10.05
she was able to
think out of the box
00:08:10.09\00:08:13.25
and find something for me
00:08:13.29\00:08:14.99
because I'm
different from everybody else.
00:08:15.02\00:08:18.19
And so she was...
00:08:18.23\00:08:20.80
She didn't play with me.
00:08:20.83\00:08:22.90
She said, "Well,
there's no giving up,
00:08:22.93\00:08:24.80
and there's no negativity.
00:08:24.83\00:08:27.27
We're going to do this thing."
00:08:27.30\00:08:30.01
You know, I've done hundreds
of interviews like this,
00:08:30.04\00:08:36.98
never quite met anyone
so appreciative as you are.
00:08:37.01\00:08:40.85
So happy and blessed.
00:08:40.88\00:08:42.68
Much is given, much is required.
00:08:42.72\00:08:45.12
Yes, yes.
00:08:45.15\00:08:47.06
And, you know, I
want to thank you
00:08:47.09\00:08:49.52
for taking the time to come here
00:08:49.56\00:08:51.19
and sharing your life.
00:08:51.23\00:08:53.23
But we're out
of time. It's okay.
00:08:53.26\00:08:55.43
So bless you, dear.
00:08:55.46\00:08:57.80
God bless. And
we'll be in touch.
00:08:57.83\00:08:59.80
Yes.
00:08:59.83\00:09:01.17
And, friends, don't go away
'cause Dr. Lukens is up next.
00:09:01.20\00:09:06.04
When we look at the health
status of Americans today,
00:09:06.07\00:09:08.74
it's alarming to see that 60%
are either overweight or obese.
00:09:08.78\00:09:13.15
In addition, diseases such
as type 2 diabetes, cancer,
00:09:18.62\00:09:22.12
and heart disorders
are the leading cause
00:09:22.16\00:09:23.99
of so many complications
and deaths every year.
00:09:24.03\00:09:27.20
Could it have something
to do with what we eat?
00:09:31.43\00:09:34.07
After all, every
one in four Americans
00:09:34.10\00:09:36.71
visits a fast
food restaurant daily,
00:09:36.74\00:09:38.87
and with such easy
access to quick-fix foods,
00:09:38.91\00:09:42.51
we tend to forget
the poor health value
00:09:42.54\00:09:44.51
those foods actually offer.
00:09:44.55\00:09:47.32
Maybe it's the sedentary
lifestyle and lack of exercise
00:09:47.35\00:09:50.39
that we've become so accustomed
to as a media-dependent world.
00:09:50.42\00:09:54.72
Whatever the
cause of these diseases,
00:09:54.76\00:09:56.56
a solution has arrived.
00:09:56.59\00:10:00.90
The NEWSTART Lifestyle Center
offers an enriching program
00:10:00.93\00:10:04.33
where patients can get a healing
00:10:04.37\00:10:05.97
of mind, body, and soul.
00:10:06.00\00:10:08.14
Located in the
outskirts of Sacramento,
00:10:08.17\00:10:10.64
the NEWSTART Center is situated
00:10:10.67\00:10:12.54
on the beautiful
campus of Weimar Center
00:10:12.57\00:10:14.84
of Health and Education
00:10:14.88\00:10:16.64
with scenic walking and
hiking trails all around.
00:10:16.68\00:10:20.42
With a whole plant
foods eating whole, motto,
00:10:20.45\00:10:23.69
the NEWSTART Center promotes
a healthy plant-based diet
00:10:23.72\00:10:26.89
with an emphasis
on natural foods.
00:10:26.92\00:10:29.32
The NEWSTART staff are made
up of California Board certified
00:10:29.36\00:10:32.96
nurses, doctors, dietitians,
00:10:32.99\00:10:36.03
and therapists who work together
00:10:36.06\00:10:37.70
to assist each
patient personally.
00:10:37.73\00:10:40.27
The staff are dedicated
00:10:40.30\00:10:41.64
to each patient's
success in the program,
00:10:41.67\00:10:43.77
and they're
always there to guide,
00:10:43.81\00:10:45.81
advise, and encourage.
00:10:45.84\00:10:47.71
In addition to a
healthy lifestyle,
00:10:47.74\00:10:49.88
NEWSTART also promotes a
healthy exercise routine.
00:10:49.91\00:10:52.98
You're both in
sequence, that's good.
00:10:53.01\00:10:54.68
All right.
00:10:54.72\00:10:56.05
As part of the balance program,
00:10:56.08\00:10:57.55
there is much opportunity
to get in the fair share
00:10:57.59\00:11:00.02
of physical
activity from utilizing
00:11:00.06\00:11:02.29
our fitness
center to taking a stroll
00:11:02.32\00:11:04.69
around the
peaceful grounds of Weimar.
00:11:04.73\00:11:07.26
It's amazing what a
NEWSTART can do for you.
00:11:07.30\00:11:12.20
Welcome back, friends.
00:11:12.23\00:11:13.74
Dr. Lukens.
00:11:13.77\00:11:16.27
What a grip!
00:11:16.30\00:11:17.84
Must be all that
golf you're playing
00:11:17.87\00:11:20.28
or haven't played, I don't know.
00:11:20.31\00:11:21.64
Haven't played, yeah.
00:11:21.68\00:11:23.01
I know you're still
playing basketball...
00:11:23.04\00:11:24.38
Yeah. With some young guys too.
00:11:24.41\00:11:27.18
It's very fun. Yeah.
00:11:27.22\00:11:29.55
So, you know, what...
00:11:29.58\00:11:31.95
It's really, I'm
not saying unique
00:11:31.99\00:11:35.32
but special about
Terri is she's so loving,
00:11:35.36\00:11:40.46
her heart, she's got
such a beautiful heart
00:11:40.50\00:11:44.87
and just loves everybody here
00:11:44.90\00:11:47.47
really has
embraced this program.
00:11:47.50\00:11:50.61
And how is she doing
from a doctor's perspective?
00:11:50.64\00:11:54.78
Yeah, she is
63-year-old African American
00:11:54.81\00:11:58.78
and overweight and
this is a unique situation
00:11:58.81\00:12:03.18
'cause she was
going in the bathroom
00:12:03.22\00:12:06.69
and stepped on
something and slipped.
00:12:06.72\00:12:11.26
She probably already told that,
00:12:11.29\00:12:13.46
and she went
down so hard crashed
00:12:13.50\00:12:17.27
and both of her...
00:12:17.30\00:12:19.00
The nerves in both
of her shoulders just...
00:12:19.03\00:12:22.47
And so it's really sad because
her husband has to feed her.
00:12:22.50\00:12:28.74
You know, if she
wants to eat something,
00:12:28.78\00:12:30.78
she has to eat
kind of like a dog,
00:12:30.81\00:12:33.75
and she's trying
to get her cell phone
00:12:33.78\00:12:37.75
out of the pouch here in front,
00:12:37.79\00:12:40.36
and she just, you know...
00:12:40.39\00:12:41.72
She has to just go like this.
00:12:41.76\00:12:44.26
It's really sad to see
somebody struggling like that.
00:12:44.29\00:12:47.66
But what's really
neat is she is improving,
00:12:47.70\00:12:54.14
and I think that probably
they got pictures of her,
00:12:54.17\00:12:57.87
and she was
determined to get her arm up
00:12:57.91\00:13:01.91
and to get her
hand in to the stirrup
00:13:01.94\00:13:05.48
on this desk bike
00:13:05.51\00:13:08.62
and go around like
this, and that's, you know...
00:13:08.65\00:13:12.82
We're going to show a clip
00:13:12.85\00:13:14.32
of that Paul is
going to cut it in here.
00:13:14.36\00:13:16.93
Don't hurt yourself.
00:13:16.96\00:13:18.33
I really want to
but I don't want to.
00:13:25.73\00:13:27.87
I know.
00:13:27.90\00:13:31.27
But either way,
it's a challenge.
00:13:31.31\00:13:33.38
Oh, gosh!
00:13:39.21\00:13:42.68
Struggle is real.
00:13:42.72\00:13:47.79
Anyway, she's diabetic
00:13:47.82\00:13:52.69
and, you know, on lots
of insulin to cover for her.
00:13:52.73\00:13:57.47
And when she
went through a fast,
00:13:57.50\00:14:00.54
we thought we
could get her off of it
00:14:00.57\00:14:02.14
and see what happened,
00:14:02.17\00:14:05.47
but later on, we realized that
00:14:05.51\00:14:07.28
she was having a
viral gastroenteritis,
00:14:07.31\00:14:11.58
and so it didn't work as
well as we thought it would.
00:14:11.61\00:14:13.85
But anyway...
00:14:13.88\00:14:17.79
She's doing something
that every diabetic should do
00:14:17.82\00:14:21.69
as far as I'm concerned.
00:14:21.72\00:14:24.03
You look at the
food you're going to eat
00:14:24.06\00:14:26.96
and then you put
the rapid active one in
00:14:27.00\00:14:29.20
and then you have it.
00:14:29.23\00:14:30.57
So you have to be disciplined.
00:14:30.60\00:14:32.17
You say, "Well, this
is the food I'm eating,
00:14:32.20\00:14:34.77
and that's kind of what's there.
00:14:34.80\00:14:36.64
And I've done so much exercise.
00:14:36.67\00:14:38.81
And now this is how
many units I should give."
00:14:38.84\00:14:41.41
And you give it
right at the meal.
00:14:41.44\00:14:43.81
It's really neat because
they've got a long acting one,
00:14:43.85\00:14:46.85
like your body
makes is background
00:14:46.88\00:14:49.08
and then they have the other one
00:14:49.12\00:14:51.49
that lasts for a peak
is for 30 to 90 minutes.
00:14:51.52\00:14:56.79
So anyway,
00:14:56.83\00:14:58.66
she was
determined to get off of it.
00:14:58.69\00:15:00.60
And so we let
her try for a while.
00:15:00.63\00:15:02.96
And her sugars
were really, really bad.
00:15:03.00\00:15:09.50
So we started
checking in with our machine
00:15:09.54\00:15:14.28
and hers was
reading about 150 to 200
00:15:14.31\00:15:19.35
above what it really was.
00:15:19.38\00:15:20.72
So that was a
little bit encouraging.
00:15:20.75\00:15:24.09
But, you know,
she didn't realize
00:15:24.12\00:15:26.96
how much
exercise was going to do.
00:15:26.99\00:15:29.96
Dr. Golan tells them
when they first come in,
00:15:29.99\00:15:32.73
"You're probably going
to get off your insulin
00:15:32.76\00:15:36.10
but you've got to
take a new medication,
00:15:36.13\00:15:38.97
and that new
medication is walking."
00:15:39.00\00:15:40.97
Right. It's really good.
00:15:41.00\00:15:43.37
So anyway, you know,
00:15:43.41\00:15:46.17
you want to know
what's happening,
00:15:46.21\00:15:47.74
and there's a really neat test.
00:15:47.78\00:15:49.68
It's called a C-peptide.
00:15:49.71\00:15:52.01
And somehow, it
can differentiate
00:15:52.05\00:15:55.08
for what you make
and what you inject.
00:15:55.12\00:15:58.99
And so I was sitting there
at the table the last Sunday,
00:15:59.02\00:16:03.16
and I turned to the guy
there we were talking to,
00:16:03.19\00:16:07.33
and I said, I'm
going to go over there
00:16:07.36\00:16:09.70
and you're going
to see a warhoop.
00:16:09.73\00:16:12.83
So I'm going to say, "Chanting
good news chair is coming."
00:16:12.87\00:16:17.17
When I got over
there, she gave the warhoop
00:16:17.21\00:16:19.31
because she is
making enough insulin
00:16:19.34\00:16:21.88
so that she
won't have to be on it
00:16:21.91\00:16:23.91
as she does the program.
00:16:23.95\00:16:25.85
That's excellent.
That's so good to hear.
00:16:25.88\00:16:28.48
She is really pumped.
00:16:28.52\00:16:31.05
She's very, very excited
about what's going on here.
00:16:31.09\00:16:34.79
She shared with us
00:16:34.82\00:16:37.59
that the love that she
feels from the doctors,
00:16:37.63\00:16:42.20
from the nurses,
from the staff...
00:16:42.23\00:16:43.80
Everybody.
00:16:43.83\00:16:45.17
She's never
experienced before in her life.
00:16:45.20\00:16:47.97
Yeah.
00:16:48.00\00:16:49.34
You know, and I
know it's God's love
00:16:49.37\00:16:50.81
that has come in
through everyone here.
00:16:50.84\00:16:55.14
And so she's blessed,
00:16:55.18\00:16:58.41
and she's going to
stick with this program.
00:16:58.45\00:17:01.02
And if we don't show God's love,
00:17:01.05\00:17:02.95
then we're denying Him.
00:17:02.98\00:17:05.49
Amen, amen.
00:17:05.52\00:17:07.69
So we got a few seconds left.
00:17:07.72\00:17:09.66
Any less moments of
encouragement words?
00:17:09.69\00:17:13.60
Well, she's going to
have to get the exercise in,
00:17:13.63\00:17:17.37
and then she can
get off of the insulin.
00:17:17.40\00:17:20.40
Good. Yeah.
00:17:20.44\00:17:21.97
So that being said,
I want to thank you.
00:17:22.00\00:17:24.61
I know you're busy,
00:17:24.64\00:17:25.97
you're seeing
patients all day long
00:17:26.01\00:17:28.41
and then scheduling in here.
00:17:28.44\00:17:29.94
And after this, you
got lectures to do I guess?
00:17:29.98\00:17:32.75
No, we're having
graduation tonight.
00:17:32.78\00:17:34.92
Okay. Yeah.
00:17:34.95\00:17:36.28
Well, thank you, guess the same.
00:17:36.32\00:17:38.25
Yeah. God bless you.
00:17:38.29\00:17:39.62
And thanks for
bringing them in, man.
00:17:39.65\00:17:41.46
Yeah, you bet. You're the guy.
00:17:41.49\00:17:43.63
Well, I do my best.
00:17:43.66\00:17:45.56
God bless. Thank you, friends.
00:17:45.59\00:17:47.53
Don't go away 'cause
Pastor Damon is up next.
00:17:47.56\00:17:50.87
Welcome back, friends.
00:17:55.64\00:17:56.97
Help me welcome Pastor Snead.
00:17:57.01\00:17:59.81
Good to see you, brother.
Hey, you too, friend, thanks.
00:17:59.84\00:18:01.84
Yeah, it's
always good to see you,
00:18:01.88\00:18:03.78
especially when we're
talking about our guests here,
00:18:03.81\00:18:06.82
which is Terri Crumpton, right?
00:18:06.85\00:18:10.25
And Terri's an unusual person.
00:18:10.29\00:18:14.59
She's so bubbly and
so loving and so caring,
00:18:14.62\00:18:19.43
and she had this accident
where her hands were paralyzed,
00:18:19.46\00:18:24.10
but now she's starting
to move them a little bit.
00:18:24.13\00:18:27.60
But what about spiritually?
00:18:27.64\00:18:29.30
Where she is?
00:18:29.34\00:18:31.31
Well, what impressed me about
00:18:31.34\00:18:32.74
Terri was just the way
she handled the accident.
00:18:32.77\00:18:36.54
I mean, can you...
00:18:36.58\00:18:37.91
She's not an old woman,
00:18:37.95\00:18:39.35
she's relatively still young,
00:18:39.38\00:18:41.65
and vibrant in
life going, shopping,
00:18:41.68\00:18:44.02
and living life and doing
what most people do at her age.
00:18:44.05\00:18:47.22
And then she has
this terrible accident
00:18:47.26\00:18:48.59
where she falls and
she loses all capacity
00:18:48.62\00:18:51.93
to move her arms this way.
00:18:51.96\00:18:53.50
Yeah. So she
can't pick her arms up.
00:18:53.53\00:18:55.70
So through that, she just
gets terribly depressed, broken.
00:18:55.73\00:19:00.64
I mean, you think
about your husband has to...
00:19:00.67\00:19:02.30
She has to feed.
00:19:02.34\00:19:03.67
Anything you use
your hands for to lift,
00:19:03.71\00:19:05.27
someone else has to do for her.
00:19:05.31\00:19:07.61
And so she was
telling me that her story
00:19:07.64\00:19:09.31
of just how
hopeless she has felt,
00:19:09.34\00:19:11.41
how depressed she has felt.
00:19:11.45\00:19:13.45
Now what's interesting
is, of course, at NEWSTART,
00:19:13.48\00:19:15.62
she's starting to get,
00:19:15.65\00:19:17.12
some things are starting to
happen a little bit for her.
00:19:17.15\00:19:19.79
And I know that the more
that she engages the health,
00:19:19.82\00:19:22.49
the more that she loses weight,
her body has a better chance.
00:19:22.52\00:19:25.86
But it's her
attitude about this,
00:19:25.89\00:19:27.76
it's her spiritual recovery.
00:19:27.80\00:19:29.46
Amen.
00:19:29.50\00:19:30.83
That has been very important.
00:19:30.87\00:19:32.53
And I've watched
her every morning
00:19:32.57\00:19:34.67
at fresh start lectures,
00:19:34.70\00:19:36.04
I've seen her, you know,
00:19:36.07\00:19:37.41
smiling and looking in intently,
00:19:37.44\00:19:39.91
and she's just come
alive, and she's shared with me
00:19:39.94\00:19:42.61
in some of our
interviews together
00:19:42.64\00:19:44.55
that she wants to be
healed and who wouldn't.
00:19:44.58\00:19:48.35
But if not,
00:19:48.38\00:19:49.88
she sees the bigger picture
is that Christ is coming.
00:19:49.92\00:19:53.39
That there's the bigger
picture is a relationship
00:19:53.42\00:19:55.46
and you don't need arms
00:19:55.49\00:19:57.33
to engage
Christ in relationship.
00:19:57.36\00:19:59.96
And so she sees
that bigger picture,
00:20:00.00\00:20:01.53
and it's given her a
certain amount of joy
00:20:01.56\00:20:04.53
and contentment to deal with
00:20:04.57\00:20:07.10
whatever the future is
for her with her mobility.
00:20:07.14\00:20:10.44
Oh, I understand
she was about giving up.
00:20:10.47\00:20:13.48
And perhaps she's
being baptized, right?
00:20:13.51\00:20:19.25
Yes, sir. This Sabbath.
00:20:19.28\00:20:20.92
She surely is.
00:20:20.95\00:20:22.35
You know, I want
to tell our viewers,
00:20:22.38\00:20:24.59
Damon's doing a series of
a Wheel of Hope and Faith.
00:20:24.62\00:20:31.03
Actually, it's
called Wheel of Faith.
00:20:31.06\00:20:33.33
And Damon is been
all over the country
00:20:33.36\00:20:35.60
giving this gospel message
like you've never heard before.
00:20:35.63\00:20:42.07
And this is neat
because it's the first time
00:20:42.10\00:20:43.64
that a NEWSTART group
is kind of going outside
00:20:43.67\00:20:46.57
to join a seminar
group, but they're both...
00:20:46.61\00:20:49.74
They're both
learning the same thing.
00:20:49.78\00:20:51.88
Yes, yes.
00:20:51.91\00:20:53.28
But, you know, you
can go to Damon's website.
00:20:53.31\00:20:56.18
You want to give
that information?
00:20:56.22\00:20:57.69
Yeah, so the website is
just WheelOfFaithMinistries.org,
00:20:57.72\00:21:01.72
and you can go there
and see what we're doing in.
00:21:01.76\00:21:04.16
Yeah. Good.
00:21:04.19\00:21:05.53
Anyway, just a
little plug for you.
00:21:05.56\00:21:06.90
Yeah, thank you very much. Yeah.
00:21:06.93\00:21:08.26
So, Terri, you know,
00:21:08.30\00:21:12.00
I still believe in
miracles and some days
00:21:12.03\00:21:15.14
I feel like that
little kid I used to be
00:21:15.17\00:21:17.64
or I looked up
at God and I said,
00:21:17.67\00:21:19.41
"God, I want a new bicycle."
00:21:19.44\00:21:22.11
And I'd get one
somehow, someway,
00:21:22.14\00:21:25.55
and I'm looking
up at God right now.
00:21:25.58\00:21:27.22
I'm saying, "God, I want
Terri to have arms again."
00:21:27.25\00:21:32.62
Yeah, and you
feel for her. Yeah.
00:21:32.65\00:21:34.26
You know that she just
wants to get our health back now
00:21:34.29\00:21:37.66
but for spiritual reasons.
00:21:37.69\00:21:39.19
I mean, of course,
we all want the things
00:21:39.23\00:21:41.26
that our mobility gives us.
00:21:41.30\00:21:42.63
Sure. But she...
00:21:42.66\00:21:44.00
I think this is her
best chance of healing though
00:21:44.03\00:21:46.43
is because God
sees maybe in her heart,
00:21:46.47\00:21:48.27
"Okay, now I've
got her attention.
00:21:48.30\00:21:50.24
There's a greater
healing she's looking at."
00:21:50.27\00:21:52.41
Now He can maybe restore.
00:21:52.44\00:21:54.44
That's right.
00:21:54.48\00:21:55.81
And that's what I
think NEWSTART offers people,
00:21:55.84\00:21:57.45
that spiritual restoration.
00:21:57.48\00:21:58.98
Amen.
00:21:59.01\00:22:00.42
We're running
out of time, brother.
00:22:00.45\00:22:02.18
Man, it's good to
talk to you about Terri.
00:22:02.22\00:22:04.79
God bless you and your ministry.
00:22:04.82\00:22:07.66
Friends, don't go away,
00:22:07.69\00:22:09.02
we have an
important message following.
00:22:09.06\00:22:10.66
Welcome to NEWSTART Now.
00:22:48.16\00:22:49.73
I'm Dr. Neil Nedley,
President of Weimar Institute.
00:22:49.76\00:22:52.47
And with me today
is Dr. Eddie Ramirez,
00:22:52.50\00:22:54.74
one of our
researchers and physicians
00:22:54.77\00:22:56.71
and teachers of
research here at Weimar College.
00:22:56.74\00:23:01.01
And in fact,
00:23:01.04\00:23:02.38
the study we're going to
be talking to you about today,
00:23:02.41\00:23:05.41
we had help from one
of our college students,
00:23:05.45\00:23:08.42
Katie Antuna,
00:23:08.45\00:23:10.25
who actually has
been very instrumental
00:23:10.29\00:23:13.05
and actually helping
out with the depression
00:23:13.09\00:23:15.69
and anxiety
recovery program on campus.
00:23:15.72\00:23:19.53
But in this particular study,
00:23:19.56\00:23:20.93
we were looking at a factor
called emotional intelligence.
00:23:20.96\00:23:26.43
And, you know, Dr. Ramirez,
00:23:26.47\00:23:28.14
I was just saying
in Forbes magazine,
00:23:28.17\00:23:30.11
they recommend that you
hire for emotional intelligence,
00:23:30.14\00:23:33.17
even more so than
general intelligence
00:23:33.21\00:23:36.14
that this has much more to
do with your future success
00:23:36.18\00:23:38.98
and happiness and your
ability to stay employed
00:23:39.01\00:23:42.08
and to reach higher
levels of employment.
00:23:42.12\00:23:45.55
And so, Dr. Ramirez,
00:23:45.59\00:23:47.56
this study is coming out
in biological psychiatry.
00:23:47.59\00:23:51.93
And the interesting thing
is what we put into our body,
00:23:51.96\00:23:56.53
what we do with our body
00:23:56.56\00:23:58.03
actually has to do
with our brain chemistry,
00:23:58.07\00:24:00.30
and it can change the
biology in the brain itself
00:24:00.34\00:24:04.44
and that's what
this study showed
00:24:04.47\00:24:05.81
and why it was published
in biological psychiatry.
00:24:05.84\00:24:08.81
So tell us a little bit
about the study group itself,
00:24:08.84\00:24:14.68
who was studied in this
emotional intelligence data.
00:24:14.72\00:24:18.05
We have very nice sample group,
00:24:18.09\00:24:20.29
5,611 participants
00:24:20.32\00:24:24.36
that did the community-based
depression recovery program
00:24:24.39\00:24:29.83
in literally around the world.
00:24:29.86\00:24:31.80
Okay.
00:24:31.83\00:24:33.17
So these subjects were
not at Weimar Institute per se
00:24:33.20\00:24:37.54
but they were coming to
learn Weimar type of principles,
00:24:37.57\00:24:41.78
and they were
particularly coming
00:24:41.81\00:24:44.31
because they had
depression, is that right?
00:24:44.35\00:24:46.98
Yes, three quarters
of them had depression.
00:24:47.02\00:24:49.45
One quarter of them didn't have
00:24:49.48\00:24:51.29
but wanted to
improve their mental health.
00:24:51.32\00:24:53.39
Okay.
00:24:53.42\00:24:54.76
So most of them came
with significant depression,
00:24:54.79\00:24:57.39
and this is a mental
health education program
00:24:57.43\00:25:00.40
they're coming to.
00:25:00.43\00:25:02.23
How many
educational sessions are there?
00:25:02.26\00:25:05.50
That's right. They have...
00:25:05.53\00:25:07.17
It is an eight-week program.
00:25:07.20\00:25:08.67
So they had that eight sessions.
00:25:08.70\00:25:11.51
And one program in particular,
00:25:11.54\00:25:14.01
we focus in helping
them understand this concept
00:25:14.04\00:25:17.51
and how to improve it.
00:25:17.55\00:25:19.21
But not only that was important
00:25:19.25\00:25:22.72
but we had to
put the foundations
00:25:22.75\00:25:24.75
before we talk about EQ
and these type of concepts,
00:25:24.79\00:25:28.12
we have to change their diet,
00:25:28.16\00:25:29.49
we have to put
them to do exercise
00:25:29.52\00:25:31.43
and so forth to prepare
the environment for them
00:25:31.46\00:25:34.36
to understand these concepts.
00:25:34.40\00:25:36.30
Well, that's quite interesting.
00:25:36.33\00:25:38.23
And so we do first some changes
00:25:38.27\00:25:41.30
in what they're
putting into their body,
00:25:41.34\00:25:43.17
what they're
doing with their body
00:25:43.20\00:25:44.57
that helps change the biology,
00:25:44.61\00:25:46.64
and then we get
into teaching them
00:25:46.68\00:25:48.64
about how they're thinking
00:25:48.68\00:25:50.48
and how we think
can actually change
00:25:50.51\00:25:53.21
our brain chemistry as well.
00:25:53.25\00:25:55.28
And so, emotional intelligence,
can you tell us what it is?
00:25:55.32\00:25:58.95
Yes, it's that ability for
you to interact with others
00:25:58.99\00:26:03.59
and to motivate yourself.
00:26:03.63\00:26:05.39
There's five things that
emotional intelligence measures
00:26:05.43\00:26:08.06
and that is
knowing your emotions,
00:26:08.10\00:26:09.96
managing your emotions,
recognizing emotions in others,
00:26:10.00\00:26:13.57
managing
relationships in others,
00:26:13.60\00:26:15.57
and motivating
yourself to reach those goals.
00:26:15.60\00:26:18.77
Okay, so you can see
00:26:18.81\00:26:20.24
why it's very
important to happiness
00:26:20.28\00:26:21.78
because
relationship is connected
00:26:21.81\00:26:24.78
to our happiness and
healthy relationships are.
00:26:24.81\00:26:27.85
And so what did we find out?
00:26:27.88\00:26:29.22
What was the average
emotional intelligence for those
00:26:29.25\00:26:31.79
that came into the program?
00:26:31.82\00:26:33.15
So on average, they had 100,
00:26:33.19\00:26:35.86
which is the normal
average around the world.
00:26:35.89\00:26:39.19
Okay.
00:26:39.23\00:26:40.56
So even though
they were depressed,
00:26:40.60\00:26:41.93
their EQ was on average,
right at the average point.
00:26:41.96\00:26:45.37
That's right. At 100.
00:26:45.40\00:26:46.94
And what was able to happen
00:26:46.97\00:26:49.10
during the course of that
00:26:49.14\00:26:50.47
just one program once
a week for eight weeks?
00:26:50.51\00:26:52.84
That's right.
00:26:52.87\00:26:54.21
At the end, they had on average,
00:26:54.24\00:26:56.21
an EQ of 108.9.
00:26:56.24\00:27:00.42
Okay, so they
went up nine points.
00:27:00.45\00:27:03.22
That's like an
entire standard deviation.
00:27:03.25\00:27:06.49
That's very significant.
00:27:06.52\00:27:07.86
And that's the average.
00:27:07.89\00:27:09.22
There are some that actually
went beyond the 120 barrier,
00:27:09.26\00:27:15.20
so that puts them
00:27:15.23\00:27:16.56
in the very top levels
of emotional intelligence.
00:27:16.60\00:27:20.24
And that means they
not only left the program
00:27:20.27\00:27:22.67
depression-free
00:27:22.70\00:27:24.11
and anxiety-free as many do
00:27:24.14\00:27:26.64
that leave that program
00:27:26.68\00:27:28.21
but they're now set
up for levels of success
00:27:28.24\00:27:30.85
that are far better than people
00:27:30.88\00:27:32.28
who've never had
depression and anxiety.
00:27:32.31\00:27:34.15
Yeah, those people that
usually in a group setting,
00:27:34.18\00:27:36.89
they're causing
sparks all over them.
00:27:36.92\00:27:40.06
Those people have
actually a very low
00:27:40.09\00:27:42.09
emotional intelligence.
00:27:42.12\00:27:43.46
You can have low
emotional intelligence
00:27:43.49\00:27:45.16
and high IQ
00:27:45.19\00:27:46.76
and this one helps
you to get that balance,
00:27:46.80\00:27:49.40
you know, improve that IQ and EQ
00:27:49.43\00:27:51.90
as you
participate in the program.
00:27:51.93\00:27:54.20
From NEWSTART Now,
I'm Dr. Neil Nedley.
00:27:54.24\00:27:56.91
Join us again next week
for another exciting study.
00:27:56.94\00:27:59.94
