and I'm so glad
00:01:13.20\00:01:14.54
that you could join

00:01:14.57\00:01:16.64
very healthy 3ABN Today Program
that we are going to have.
00:01:16.71\00:01:21.24
We will be talking
about the Years Restored
00:01:21.28\00:01:24.35
Lifestyle Center cookbooks,
all kinds of different recipes,
00:01:24.38\00:01:30.19
and autoimmune disease,
00:01:30.22\00:01:32.42
and just a wide
variety of things.
00:01:32.45\00:01:34.39
So if you've ever had any
question about any of that,
00:01:34.42\00:01:37.69
and maybe you wondered about,
you know, the optimal diet,
00:01:37.73\00:01:42.40
then you're definitely
gonna wanna stay tuned.
00:01:42.43\00:01:44.83
My guests today
are Mercy Ballard,
00:01:44.87\00:01:48.67
and she is the Years Restored
Lifestyle Director, welcome.
00:01:48.70\00:01:54.08
And then we have Dr. Joyce Choe.
00:01:54.11\00:01:56.54
Choe, did I say
that correctly? Perfect.
00:01:56.58\00:01:58.48
All right, and she's the Founder
00:01:58.51\00:02:00.32
of Wholeness for Life.
00:02:00.35\00:02:02.55
I want to dive into,
you know, your background
00:02:02.58\00:02:05.89
and all of that,
00:02:05.92\00:02:07.69
but prior to doing so
'cause we have a lot to cover.
00:02:07.72\00:02:10.93
Prior to doing that we're
going to be blessed in song
00:02:10.96\00:02:13.33
by ET Everett
00:02:13.40\00:02:14.73
and she's going to be
playing Holy, Holy, Holy.
00:02:14.76\00:02:18.30
Wow, what a beautiful
song, Holy, Holy, Holy.
00:07:54.97\00:07:57.74
God is blessed ET
with a tremendous gift
00:07:57.77\00:08:00.58
of not only playing the keys,
00:08:00.61\00:08:01.94
but she works here
in our sound center.
00:08:01.98\00:08:04.15
And she does an
amazing, amazing job.
00:08:04.18\00:08:06.82
I'm so happy that now we
can jump into some health.
00:08:06.85\00:08:11.69
We can talk about health
00:08:11.72\00:08:13.29
because I need an
education in this area.
00:08:13.36\00:08:16.22
I need to learn more about
00:08:16.26\00:08:18.79
a healthier diet
and all of these things.
00:08:18.83\00:08:21.86
Why don't you tell me
00:08:21.90\00:08:23.23
a little bit
about your background?
00:08:23.26\00:08:25.77
Well, Mercy and I
00:08:25.80\00:08:27.14
have always been
very interested in health.
00:08:27.17\00:08:29.37
And I think it's probably
because we both had parents
00:08:29.40\00:08:33.07
who were really
interested in health.
00:08:33.11\00:08:34.88
And my mom was a nurse
00:08:34.91\00:08:37.15
she was trained at
an Adventist lifestyle
00:08:37.18\00:08:40.12
or an Adventist
Sanitarium in Korea.
00:08:40.15\00:08:42.32
Okay.
00:08:42.35\00:08:43.69
And back in her generation,
00:08:43.72\00:08:45.99
they used to teach
nurses how to do hydrotherapy...
00:08:46.02\00:08:49.39
Oh, wow. Massage
and all these things.
00:08:49.42\00:08:51.36
So when I was sick,
00:08:51.39\00:08:52.83
she would do these
types of things for me
00:08:52.86\00:08:54.60
like fomentations and...
00:08:54.63\00:08:57.07
Okay.
00:08:57.10\00:08:58.43
Charcoal, all
that kind of stuff.
00:08:58.47\00:08:59.90
So I kind of grew up with that,
00:08:59.93\00:09:01.67
and I had learned
about from other speakers
00:09:01.70\00:09:06.68
about how powerful
these natural remedies were.
00:09:06.71\00:09:10.05
And so I already had
00:09:10.08\00:09:11.41
that kind of concept in my mind.
00:09:11.45\00:09:13.82
Nice. How about you, Mercy?
00:09:13.85\00:09:15.18
Yeah, myself also.
00:09:15.22\00:09:16.69
You know, my mom, I grew up
00:09:16.72\00:09:18.25
also same way doing
these simple natural remedies.
00:09:18.29\00:09:21.59
I remember my mom doing
clay poultices for all of us,
00:09:21.62\00:09:25.46
five of us
00:09:25.49\00:09:26.83
and also doing
these green juices
00:09:26.90\00:09:28.53
early in the
morning and hydrotherapy
00:09:28.56\00:09:30.77
like wrap us
with that call sheet.
00:09:30.80\00:09:33.27
Yes. Yes.
00:09:33.34\00:09:35.47
Now so like when you
say a poultice, right?
00:09:35.50\00:09:38.67
You say a charcoal poultice.
00:09:38.71\00:09:40.28
Does that draw out toxins?
What's the purpose of that?
00:09:40.31\00:09:43.98
I think there
are various reasons
00:09:44.05\00:09:45.85
why you would do
a charcoal poultice.
00:09:45.88\00:09:48.95
That would be one thing
00:09:48.98\00:09:50.32
like if you go to
CharcoalRemedies.com
00:09:50.39\00:09:52.19
that's a book
00:09:52.22\00:09:53.56
that is all about
charcoal and its remedies,
00:09:53.59\00:09:55.82
and the author writes
00:09:55.86\00:09:57.23
about how he went
to this jungle area,
00:09:57.26\00:10:00.00
where there was
no medical access
00:10:00.03\00:10:02.00
as we would think
of medical access,
00:10:02.03\00:10:04.53
and he was working at a clinic
00:10:04.57\00:10:06.30
where a child
came in unconscious,
00:10:06.33\00:10:08.87
and they assessed that
00:10:08.90\00:10:10.24
that child had probably had
food poisoning of some sort.
00:10:10.31\00:10:14.64
And of course, since
they were unconscious,
00:10:14.68\00:10:17.15
they couldn't do
anything intravenous
00:10:17.18\00:10:19.81
or anything like that.
00:10:19.85\00:10:21.18
They just wrapped
the child in a huge,
00:10:21.22\00:10:22.78
very thick poultice of charcoal.
00:10:22.82\00:10:25.22
And within an
hour, the child revived,
00:10:25.25\00:10:28.46
you know, and so
that it does absorb toxins
00:10:28.49\00:10:34.03
and so that's why
we use it in the ER
00:10:34.10\00:10:35.93
and that kind of
thing for drug overdoses
00:10:35.96\00:10:38.17
and that type of thing.
00:10:38.20\00:10:40.04
But what people don't know
00:10:40.07\00:10:41.40
is that charcoal is
very anti-inflammatory.
00:10:41.44\00:10:44.31
Okay.
00:10:44.34\00:10:45.67
So if you have pain
00:10:45.71\00:10:47.38
and, you know,
of any kind of sore,
00:10:47.41\00:10:50.38
it's worthwhile
trying to use it,
00:10:50.45\00:10:52.31
you know, for
like, disc herniation
00:10:52.35\00:10:54.85
and things that you would never
think about pulled muscles,
00:10:54.88\00:10:57.72
you know?
00:10:57.75\00:10:59.09
Yes.
00:10:59.12\00:11:00.46
It's worthwhile
trying to try a charcoal.
00:11:00.49\00:11:02.09
Yes.
00:11:02.12\00:11:03.46
Now I should have done this
00:11:03.53\00:11:04.96
at the beginning of the program,
00:11:04.99\00:11:06.33
but I definitely want to
tell our viewers and listeners
00:11:06.36\00:11:09.46
to make sure that you consult
00:11:09.50\00:11:11.33
with your local or
your primary physician
00:11:11.37\00:11:14.14
before implementing
any of the practices
00:11:14.17\00:11:16.24
that are
discussed in this program
00:11:16.27\00:11:18.31
because they know
your specific case.
00:11:18.34\00:11:21.11
And so we're going to be
talking about some things
00:11:21.14\00:11:23.11
that are healthy and nutritious
and have helped people,
00:11:23.14\00:11:28.15
but we want to make
sure that you consult
00:11:28.18\00:11:30.09
with your primary physician.
00:11:30.12\00:11:31.59
That's very important.
So don't miss that point.
00:11:31.62\00:11:33.86
Yeah, this is all
health educational,
00:11:33.89\00:11:35.69
not medical advice.
00:11:35.72\00:11:37.06
Yes. Yes, absolutely.
00:11:37.13\00:11:38.63
So the charcoal poultices
that's an incredible story
00:11:38.66\00:11:43.47
about how it just absorbed
all that and revived that baby.
00:11:43.50\00:11:48.14
That's amazing. Absolutely.
00:11:48.17\00:11:50.24
How did you decide to
start the Lifestyle Center?
00:11:50.31\00:11:55.68
Well, in 2003, after
2003 I was pretty healthy.
00:11:55.71\00:12:00.15
And I used to be very athletic
and running every day 4 miles,
00:12:00.22\00:12:03.69
but at that time, I
started getting weak
00:12:03.72\00:12:06.52
and my endurance is
start to decreasing,
00:12:06.55\00:12:08.76
and I became
shortness of breath,
00:12:08.79\00:12:11.03
and my brain was foggy.
00:12:11.06\00:12:15.53
So something was happening,
00:12:15.56\00:12:17.47
even though I was
having a good lifestyle,
00:12:17.50\00:12:19.70
health lifestyle.
00:12:19.73\00:12:23.71
In 2005, I ended
up in the hospital
00:12:23.74\00:12:27.01
because my hemoglobin was 7.3.
00:12:27.08\00:12:30.08
And then they had to
do blood transfusion.
00:12:30.15\00:12:32.21
And people might not be
aware that a hemoglobin of 7.3
00:12:32.25\00:12:35.62
that's very low
00:12:35.65\00:12:36.99
'cause it should
be more like 13, 14.
00:12:37.02\00:12:39.39
Wow. Yeah.
00:12:39.42\00:12:40.79
So it was affecting me greatly.
00:12:40.86\00:12:43.56
But, you know, the
problem was that nobody knew
00:12:43.63\00:12:46.03
why I was having that problem.
00:12:46.06\00:12:47.86
So I went to
hematologist, oncologist
00:12:47.90\00:12:50.17
thinking maybe I have cancer
because that kept decreasing.
00:12:50.20\00:12:53.74
So by the year 2006, I
still having the problem.
00:12:53.77\00:12:58.54
So I was having
also iron infusion
00:12:58.57\00:13:01.91
'cause I ended up with,
you know, blood transfusion.
00:13:01.94\00:13:05.78
And so then I found out that,
00:13:05.81\00:13:10.39
you know, I had
some food sensitivities
00:13:10.42\00:13:12.35
because I went to the
GI lab, a specialized lab.
00:13:12.39\00:13:15.49
And so I had to
make some changes
00:13:15.52\00:13:18.36
and, you know, I was
studying and researching
00:13:18.39\00:13:20.80
to see what can I do,
00:13:20.83\00:13:22.16
so applying
different principles.
00:13:22.20\00:13:25.27
So by 2007, around that
time, I was totally recovered.
00:13:25.30\00:13:30.24
So I decided that I
need to help people.
00:13:30.31\00:13:34.48
But also, about the same time
00:13:34.51\00:13:37.85
I was reading
about Ministry of Healing
00:13:37.88\00:13:40.02
a medical missionary work
00:13:40.05\00:13:42.58
from Ellen G. White
00:13:42.62\00:13:44.39
in that it was saying that,
00:13:44.42\00:13:46.19
you know, we
supposed to help people,
00:13:46.22\00:13:47.89
you know, like
Jesus did the way.
00:13:47.92\00:13:49.26
He came to this earth.
00:13:49.29\00:13:50.63
He did more
healing than preaching.
00:13:50.66\00:13:52.73
So talking about
lifestyle centers,
00:13:52.76\00:13:55.90
things like that,
00:13:55.93\00:13:57.27
so I was impressed that
I needed to do this work
00:13:57.30\00:13:59.63
especially for
the type of population
00:13:59.67\00:14:01.60
that have problems
with autoimmune disorders,
00:14:01.64\00:14:04.01
food sensitivities.
00:14:04.04\00:14:05.37
At that time, it wasn't,
00:14:05.41\00:14:06.74
you know, people
start having that problem,
00:14:06.78\00:14:08.58
but it wasn't,
you know, much help.
00:14:08.61\00:14:11.58
So you wanted to tell me
00:14:11.61\00:14:12.95
that food
sensitivity is a real thing.
00:14:12.98\00:14:15.42
The food
sensitivity is a real thing.
00:14:15.45\00:14:17.12
It's a very real thing.
00:14:17.19\00:14:18.62
And I think,
00:14:18.65\00:14:19.99
you know,
people may not be aware
00:14:20.06\00:14:21.76
that Mercy was trained as
a medical doctor in Mexico.
00:14:21.79\00:14:27.23
And then she worked as
a nurse here in the States
00:14:27.30\00:14:28.96
when she moved to the States.
00:14:29.00\00:14:30.37
And so when she was
going through her problems
00:14:30.40\00:14:33.10
working as a nurse,
00:14:33.13\00:14:34.70
she went from doctor to
doctor trying to figure out
00:14:34.74\00:14:37.77
what was causing this anemia.
00:14:37.81\00:14:40.28
Yes. And could
not find any answers.
00:14:40.31\00:14:43.04
And so I think that's
a real important point,
00:14:43.08\00:14:45.85
that there are a lot of
people who have these symptoms
00:14:45.88\00:14:49.82
that doctors nowadays
they're scratching their heads.
00:14:49.85\00:14:53.69
Yes.
00:14:53.76\00:14:55.09
You know, there are a lot of
us that are having these issues.
00:14:55.12\00:14:57.43
And so to find out
00:14:57.46\00:15:00.30
that simply by
changing the diet,
00:15:00.33\00:15:02.70
and this is somebody
who's eating healthy,
00:15:02.73\00:15:07.24
plant-based, non-processed,
00:15:07.27\00:15:09.37
you know, getting
healthier and healthier
00:15:09.40\00:15:11.24
and still getting sick.
00:15:11.27\00:15:12.61
Yes.
00:15:12.64\00:15:13.98
You know, it's not
someone who's like on junk food.
00:15:14.01\00:15:16.31
And so when the reason I think
00:15:16.34\00:15:19.35
that Mercy wanted to do this
00:15:19.38\00:15:20.98
was because she was an
autoimmune IV infusion nurse
00:15:21.02\00:15:24.92
dealing with a lot
of autoimmune people,
00:15:24.95\00:15:27.09
and then she's coming
down with her own problems
00:15:27.16\00:15:30.33
and finding out
00:15:30.36\00:15:31.69
that she's having
difficulty finding answers.
00:15:31.73\00:15:35.06
And then she's realizing
00:15:35.10\00:15:37.37
there's something
that's very simple
00:15:37.40\00:15:39.13
that can fix this.
00:15:39.17\00:15:40.64
Yes. Yes.
00:15:40.67\00:15:42.00
You should tell them the story
about the ulcerative colitis.
00:15:42.04\00:15:44.37
Okay, so there
was this lady while,
00:15:44.41\00:15:47.18
you know, I was already well,
00:15:47.21\00:15:49.04
we still see
patients with autoimmunity
00:15:49.08\00:15:51.18
make commercial job,
00:15:51.21\00:15:52.55
and I saw a lady
that was in a walker
00:15:52.58\00:15:55.25
and she was young.
00:15:55.28\00:15:56.62
She was a nurse. So I
was like, "What is this?
00:15:56.69\00:15:58.35
A young lady in a walker."
00:15:58.39\00:15:59.92
So I was asking her
00:15:59.95\00:16:01.29
all the physical
things like that.
00:16:01.32\00:16:02.89
And she told me
that she was bleeding,
00:16:02.92\00:16:06.23
rectally, continuously,
00:16:06.26\00:16:07.60
so she was
getting blood transfusions
00:16:07.63\00:16:09.66
very often and going to...
00:16:09.70\00:16:11.03
And she's in her 30s.
00:16:11.07\00:16:12.40
Wow. In her 30s?
00:16:12.43\00:16:13.97
In her 30s. Late 30s.
00:16:14.04\00:16:16.71
And she was sick for 17 years.
00:16:16.74\00:16:18.94
And so I was saying, "Wow,
00:16:18.97\00:16:22.48
why don't you check yourself
for food sensitivities."
00:16:22.51\00:16:25.68
I gave her the GI lab,
00:16:25.71\00:16:27.42
go plant-base,
and go clean foods.
00:16:27.45\00:16:30.49
Just avoid all these
foods that have been,
00:16:30.52\00:16:33.66
you know, linked to
glyphosate things like that.
00:16:33.69\00:16:35.89
And so she did, but, you know,
00:16:35.92\00:16:39.39
I saw her six weeks later.
00:16:39.43\00:16:42.16
After six weeks,
she was a strong,
00:16:42.20\00:16:44.33
no walker, she was pink.
00:16:44.37\00:16:46.67
And I say, "What's happening?"
00:16:46.74\00:16:48.17
Because most of
people I tell them about it,
00:16:48.20\00:16:51.24
but they don't follow.
00:16:51.27\00:16:52.61
Yes, they don't
implement the steps.
00:16:52.64\00:16:54.28
That's the hard part.
00:16:54.31\00:16:55.64
Yeah, but she did
100%, and she was incredible.
00:16:55.68\00:17:00.55
In six weeks, it was
just like a new person.
00:17:00.62\00:17:03.49
So that was so impressive to me.
00:17:03.52\00:17:06.35
And I said, "Wow, I
really need to help people."
00:17:06.39\00:17:09.16
Yes. Yes.
00:17:09.19\00:17:10.53
Hence the
Lifestyle Center. Yeah.
00:17:10.56\00:17:12.26
Well, it's interesting
00:17:12.29\00:17:13.70
'cause she was in
Texas at the time.
00:17:13.73\00:17:16.77
And, you know,
tell them the story
00:17:16.80\00:17:20.74
of how you found the place.
00:17:20.77\00:17:22.84
So I was looking...
00:17:22.87\00:17:24.21
Because I was hurry
in the medical missionary
00:17:24.24\00:17:27.41
from Ellen G. White,
00:17:27.48\00:17:28.81
I had to do a Lifestyle Center.
00:17:28.84\00:17:30.18
So I was looking for
two years and nothing was,
00:17:30.25\00:17:33.75
you know, looking good,
but then a lady called me.
00:17:33.82\00:17:37.19
I was praying, I was saying,
00:17:37.22\00:17:38.55
God, just show me
where I need to go.
00:17:38.59\00:17:40.26
So a friend of mine said,
00:17:40.29\00:17:41.62
"Mercy, I find you the
place." And what is that?
00:17:41.66\00:17:44.76
California.
00:17:44.79\00:17:46.13
And I said, "Oh, no,
00:17:46.16\00:17:47.50
I don't want to
come to California."
00:17:47.53\00:17:48.86
But, you know, it
was an answer to God
00:17:48.90\00:17:51.03
because I was
praying at that time
00:17:51.07\00:17:52.63
when she called me.
00:17:52.67\00:17:54.04
I said, "Okay,
00:17:54.07\00:17:55.40
I guess God wants me
to go to California."
00:17:55.44\00:17:56.77
So I'm going to California.
00:17:56.81\00:17:58.34
So that's how we
moved to California.
00:17:58.37\00:18:00.48
And that was 2011 when we move,
00:18:00.51\00:18:04.51
and we opened up
the Lifestyle Center
00:18:04.55\00:18:06.65
in January 2013.
00:18:06.72\00:18:08.88
Wow. Nice, nice.
00:18:08.92\00:18:10.89
I'm sure that
you have come across
00:18:10.92\00:18:13.66
quite a few different
diets and all of that.
00:18:13.69\00:18:17.26
And I want to share a scripture.
00:18:17.33\00:18:19.33
And it's found in Genesis 1:29.
00:18:19.36\00:18:23.30
And it says, "And God said,
00:18:23.37\00:18:25.10
'See, I have
given you every herb
00:18:25.13\00:18:27.24
that yields seed
00:18:27.27\00:18:28.60
which is on the
face of all the earth,
00:18:28.64\00:18:30.61
and every tree
whose fruit yields seed,
00:18:30.64\00:18:33.21
to you it shall be for food.'"
00:18:33.24\00:18:35.08
So with all of
these different diets,
00:18:35.11\00:18:37.85
I'm sure that a lot of the diets
00:18:37.88\00:18:40.05
don't line up
00:18:40.12\00:18:41.45
with what's found
the health principles
00:18:41.48\00:18:43.89
that are found in scripture.
00:18:43.92\00:18:45.25
Yes.
00:18:45.29\00:18:46.62
What are some of the
diets that you can talk about
00:18:46.65\00:18:49.89
and what's wrong
with some of these diets?
00:18:49.92\00:18:53.80
Well, I think that's one reason
00:18:53.83\00:18:55.23
why we were really
interested in writing a cookbook
00:18:55.26\00:18:58.90
and doing what we're
doing because on our journeys,
00:18:58.93\00:19:03.20
we found that...
00:19:03.24\00:19:06.04
You know, both of us are
very interested in lifestyle.
00:19:06.07\00:19:09.11
And both of us
are very interested
00:19:09.14\00:19:10.48
in plant-based.
00:19:10.55\00:19:11.88
And I was attending a
lot of lifestyle conferences
00:19:11.91\00:19:16.35
on the benefits
of plant-based diets,
00:19:16.38\00:19:20.16
and I'm seeing so many miracles.
00:19:20.19\00:19:22.49
But when Mercy had her issues,
00:19:22.52\00:19:24.89
when I had my issues,
00:19:24.93\00:19:26.36
I had problems with chronic pain
00:19:26.39\00:19:29.20
for many, many years.
00:19:29.23\00:19:31.10
And I knew
00:19:31.13\00:19:32.87
because I was conventionally
trained in medicine
00:19:32.90\00:19:37.21
and that there were not
that many options for me
00:19:37.24\00:19:42.01
other than
taking pain medications,
00:19:42.04\00:19:43.75
which I was given.
00:19:43.78\00:19:45.11
I was given
actually some opiates,
00:19:45.15\00:19:47.52
and I decided
00:19:47.55\00:19:48.88
that's something I
couldn't do, you know?
00:19:48.92\00:19:51.92
You were in a lot of pain.
00:19:51.95\00:19:53.29
I was in a lot of pain.
00:19:53.36\00:19:54.69
I just dealt with chronic
pain for many, many years.
00:19:54.72\00:19:56.49
And I thought
00:19:56.52\00:19:57.86
that's what it's the
rest of my life is about.
00:19:57.89\00:20:00.80
And so when I
would have patients
00:20:00.83\00:20:02.16
come in to see me,
00:20:02.20\00:20:03.53
and they would
complain of this or that.
00:20:03.57\00:20:06.10
I would just think,
you know, life is hard,
00:20:06.13\00:20:07.87
life is painful.
00:20:07.90\00:20:09.34
And you just have to
have a strong mindset.
00:20:09.37\00:20:13.21
And so when I was
diagnosed with leaky gut
00:20:13.24\00:20:16.85
and food sensitivities
and this type of thing,
00:20:16.88\00:20:21.95
you know, I had
gotten to a point
00:20:21.98\00:20:24.79
where it got so bad
00:20:24.82\00:20:27.59
that I just said,
"Well, it's worth a try,
00:20:27.66\00:20:29.96
you know, what's the
worst that can happen?"
00:20:30.03\00:20:31.56
You know, so I did
the elimination diet.
00:20:31.59\00:20:33.70
And being on that type of a diet
00:20:33.73\00:20:36.50
probably took care of
about 90% of the pain,
00:20:36.53\00:20:40.37
and then going
two years restored
00:20:40.44\00:20:41.87
and learning more
about these things,
00:20:41.90\00:20:45.74
it took me even further.
00:20:45.77\00:20:49.31
But the reason
that we're interested
00:20:49.34\00:20:51.41
in helping people
understand more about this
00:20:51.45\00:20:55.08
was because when we
were on our journey,
00:20:55.12\00:20:56.82
we were told that the
reason that we had our problems
00:20:56.89\00:21:00.76
was because we were
not eating animal products.
00:21:00.79\00:21:04.59
And that we had to adopt
00:21:04.63\00:21:08.16
more of more of these
products like bone broth
00:21:08.20\00:21:12.27
and that kind of
thing into our diets.
00:21:12.30\00:21:14.77
And neither of us, like
for me it was a big shock
00:21:14.80\00:21:16.84
because I was like, "Bone broth?
00:21:16.91\00:21:18.24
What's that all about?" Yeah.
00:21:18.27\00:21:19.61
I never... Yeah.
You never heard of it?
00:21:19.64\00:21:21.14
I never heard of
bone broth, but...
00:21:21.18\00:21:22.51
You've not heard of bone broth?
00:21:22.54\00:21:23.88
Never. Never.
00:21:23.95\00:21:25.28
It doesn't sound like something
00:21:25.31\00:21:26.65
I would want to try necessarily.
00:21:26.68\00:21:28.42
You know, that's a big deal
for the autoimmune community.
00:21:28.45\00:21:31.99
If you go to somebody
00:21:32.02\00:21:33.39
who believes in
what you're experiencing
00:21:33.46\00:21:38.59
and is trying to deal with it,
00:21:38.63\00:21:40.90
you know, more of
a functional medicine
00:21:40.93\00:21:43.70
and that kind of thing,
00:21:43.77\00:21:45.10
they will tell you
that you need to be
00:21:45.13\00:21:46.94
incorporating
more of those things
00:21:46.97\00:21:48.34
and that this is
what is science-based.
00:21:48.37\00:21:53.04
And if you look at it
even further, you'll find out
00:21:53.07\00:21:57.25
this is a whole
branch of medicine
00:21:57.28\00:21:59.71
it's evolutionary medicine.
00:21:59.75\00:22:02.45
If you Google
that, you will find that.
00:22:02.48\00:22:03.82
Now break that down evolution...
00:22:03.89\00:22:05.29
Because we know
about "evolution."
00:22:05.32\00:22:07.99
But evolutionary
medicine what's that?
00:22:08.02\00:22:10.83
So this is a branch of
medicine that treats people
00:22:10.86\00:22:16.77
according to a
paradigm of how they evolved.
00:22:16.80\00:22:20.04
It's based on
Darwinian philosophy.
00:22:20.07\00:22:23.71
And this is the most
popular paradigm out there.
00:22:23.74\00:22:28.58
If you look up
autoimmune lifestyle,
00:22:28.61\00:22:31.05
you'll find
autoimmune protocol diet.
00:22:31.08\00:22:34.02
And it is a paleo-based diet
00:22:34.05\00:22:38.52
where you eat
according to how you evolved.
00:22:38.55\00:22:41.66
And so that is why we were,
00:22:41.69\00:22:43.53
you know, told that by
many of our practitioners
00:22:43.56\00:22:46.16
and in this if
you go out into blogs
00:22:46.19\00:22:48.83
and that kind of thing,
00:22:48.86\00:22:50.20
you will find a
lot of people who say,
00:22:50.27\00:22:51.70
"I was a vegan,
I was plant-based.
00:22:51.73\00:22:54.97
I couldn't get
better until I went paleo."
00:22:55.00\00:22:57.97
And so for us,
it was a conundrum
00:22:58.01\00:22:59.54
because we were
in the health field.
00:22:59.57\00:23:03.35
We are Christians,
we believe in the Bible,
00:23:03.38\00:23:06.28
we believe that
this is the ideal diet.
00:23:06.31\00:23:08.65
And so we're
wondering, is this true?
00:23:08.68\00:23:10.89
Is the paleo,
00:23:10.92\00:23:13.05
really the one that
is backed up by evidence?
00:23:13.09\00:23:15.92
Because if the Bible is true,
00:23:15.96\00:23:18.23
we believe that the evidence
should back that up, right?
00:23:18.26\00:23:21.73
And so for us, it was
this conundrum of like,
00:23:21.76\00:23:25.83
is this true?
00:23:25.87\00:23:27.27
What is right?
00:23:27.34\00:23:28.80
What are we seeing as far as
what people are experiencing?
00:23:28.84\00:23:32.61
What is my experience been?
00:23:32.64\00:23:34.28
Why am I sick, even
though I'm very plant-based?
00:23:34.31\00:23:38.48
Is it all in my head?
00:23:38.51\00:23:39.88
Am I a hypochondriac?
You know what I mean?
00:23:39.91\00:23:41.82
And so, all of these
thoughts you're going through.
00:23:41.85\00:23:43.99
Yes.
00:23:44.02\00:23:45.35
And so it was very important
for us to try to figure out
00:23:45.39\00:23:48.99
what is really happening.
00:23:49.02\00:23:50.63
It sounds like that other
diet that is intertwined with...
00:23:50.66\00:23:55.23
What is it Darwinism? Yes.
00:23:55.26\00:23:57.60
Exactly.
00:23:57.63\00:23:58.97
That is removing the
Creator God from the mix.
00:23:59.00\00:24:03.34
Ooh, right. Yes.
00:24:03.41\00:24:04.74
Yes. Absolutely.
00:24:04.77\00:24:06.41
But that's the way
science today is set up.
00:24:06.44\00:24:11.51
The paradigm is that
there is no Creator God.
00:24:11.55\00:24:15.02
And so that's the
basis of the paradigm.
00:24:15.05\00:24:19.42
They couldn't be more
wrong about that for sure.
00:24:19.45\00:24:22.22
But the problem is also
that there are many Christians
00:24:22.26\00:24:27.10
who are adopting
a paleo lifestyle
00:24:27.13\00:24:31.67
and not thinking about
00:24:31.70\00:24:33.03
those types of
implications at all.
00:24:33.07\00:24:35.17
If you go and Google,
00:24:35.20\00:24:36.54
you know, should a
Christian eat a paleo diet,
00:24:36.57\00:24:39.17
you will find
people saying things like,
00:24:39.21\00:24:41.28
"It doesn't matter."
00:24:41.31\00:24:42.64
That's, you know,
00:24:42.68\00:24:44.81
what your religious beliefs are,
00:24:44.85\00:24:47.45
it doesn't matter
what you do with your diet.
00:24:47.52\00:24:50.19
So there's a lot of dissonance.
00:24:50.22\00:24:51.55
And what does the
paleo diet consists of?
00:24:51.59\00:24:54.19
So the paleo diet
is they remove grains
00:24:54.26\00:24:58.16
and, you know, as you read
00:24:58.19\00:24:59.53
the verse grains is
part of the eating diet.
00:24:59.56\00:25:02.93
And some removed also nuts
00:25:02.96\00:25:06.74
and also legumes,
00:25:06.77\00:25:09.47
so they focus on
meat and vegetables.
00:25:09.50\00:25:12.31
So they do believe in
the food sensitivities,
00:25:12.34\00:25:16.64
and they do good tasting
00:25:16.68\00:25:18.65
and they have a
really good knowledge
00:25:18.68\00:25:20.98
of autoimmune
disorder food sensitivities,
00:25:21.02\00:25:23.18
this is their
functional medicine.
00:25:23.22\00:25:25.19
And so that's why they
have so many followers.
00:25:25.22\00:25:28.26
So the community
or the main community
00:25:28.29\00:25:30.63
is following the
functional medicine
00:25:30.66\00:25:32.26
which is paleo base.
00:25:32.29\00:25:33.63
Okay.
00:25:33.70\00:25:35.03
So as Bible believers,
00:25:35.06\00:25:39.60
we had to find out.
00:25:39.63\00:25:40.97
Okay, there is also
science behind the plant-base.
00:25:41.00\00:25:44.57
So we dig into the literature,
00:25:44.61\00:25:47.21
that medical
literature about the science
00:25:47.28\00:25:49.94
that also backup the Bible.
00:25:49.98\00:25:52.01
And then we also read
the books from Ellen G. White
00:25:52.05\00:25:55.85
that she's written so
many books on health...
00:25:55.88\00:25:59.09
And how to eat. And how to eat.
00:25:59.12\00:26:00.69
Those principles are
amazing. Yes, those are amazing.
00:26:00.76\00:26:05.56
So when we
incorporate the science,
00:26:05.59\00:26:08.03
those books and also the Bible,
00:26:08.06\00:26:10.70
then we have
seen amazing changes,
00:26:10.77\00:26:14.17
amazing recoveries.
00:26:14.24\00:26:15.60
And I should say
that the paleo diet,
00:26:15.64\00:26:18.01
the reason that we don't eat
00:26:18.04\00:26:20.88
legumes and grains
00:26:20.91\00:26:24.05
and that type of thing
is because they believe
00:26:24.08\00:26:25.91
that we humans were
hunters and gatherers.
00:26:25.95\00:26:29.15
And so there are
some who will even say
00:26:29.18\00:26:30.99
that farming is the worst thing
00:26:31.02\00:26:32.39
that the worst
mistake that humans ever made.
00:26:32.42\00:26:35.89
So it's a totally
different paradigm.
00:26:35.92\00:26:38.56
And so we don't
think that it's correct.
00:26:38.59\00:26:43.30
And so we think that,
00:26:43.37\00:26:44.70
you know, if you're doing things
00:26:44.73\00:26:46.43
according to the wrong paradigm,
00:26:46.47\00:26:47.80
you're gonna end
up at the wrong place.
00:26:47.84\00:26:49.87
And we have found
that people do get better
00:26:49.90\00:26:54.94
doing this autoimmune
paleo diet to a certain degree.
00:26:54.98\00:26:59.38
But then it plateaus.
00:26:59.41\00:27:00.75
Well, the thing is
that usually if you ask them
00:27:00.82\00:27:03.49
what they did
before the paleo diet,
00:27:03.52\00:27:06.09
it was a standard American diet.
00:27:06.12\00:27:07.96
And so a lot of
these different protocols
00:27:07.99\00:27:11.06
they are major improvements
00:27:11.09\00:27:12.69
from what
someone was doing prior.
00:27:12.73\00:27:14.40
So they are gonna improve.
00:27:14.43\00:27:15.76
So they see a
little bit of improvement.
00:27:15.80\00:27:17.17
Got you.
00:27:17.20\00:27:18.53
So but we want
people to get well, right?
00:27:18.57\00:27:20.04
Yes. Following God's ways.
00:27:20.07\00:27:21.87
Now correct me if I'm wrong,
00:27:21.90\00:27:23.61
but don't dairy
products or meat products
00:27:23.64\00:27:27.18
or animal products rather
00:27:27.21\00:27:28.81
doesn't that cause inflammation?
00:27:28.84\00:27:31.65
Yes. Yes.
00:27:31.68\00:27:33.01
Absolutely. Okay.
00:27:33.05\00:27:34.38
And break down what
an autoimmune disease is?
00:27:34.42\00:27:37.39
What is that?
00:27:37.42\00:27:39.82
Autoimmune disease
00:27:39.85\00:27:41.19
is when your immune
system is over activated,
00:27:41.22\00:27:45.16
and I believe
it's over activated
00:27:45.19\00:27:47.00
because you have these toxins
that putting in your system
00:27:47.03\00:27:49.70
so the virus
trying to destroy them.
00:27:49.73\00:27:51.80
But since you keep
putting those toxins,
00:27:51.83\00:27:53.87
they start destroying
your organs, different organs,
00:27:53.94\00:27:57.44
so you end up with
lupus, you end up with the CIDP
00:27:57.51\00:28:01.24
which is neurological condition,
00:28:01.28\00:28:02.94
or you end up
with type one diabetes
00:28:02.98\00:28:04.68
affecting the
pancreas, or you end up with,
00:28:04.71\00:28:07.62
you know, it can
affect any part of the body,
00:28:07.65\00:28:09.85
your brain, your skin...
00:28:09.88\00:28:12.32
So it is incredible epidemic.
00:28:12.35\00:28:17.46
For you to develop
autoimmune disease,
00:28:17.53\00:28:20.20
for you to
develop this confusion
00:28:20.23\00:28:21.63
'cause usually the immune system
00:28:21.66\00:28:24.07
is there to protect you.
00:28:24.10\00:28:25.97
It is something that serves
many functions in the body
00:28:26.00\00:28:30.04
for you to just stay well.
00:28:30.11\00:28:31.74
And for it to become confused
00:28:31.77\00:28:34.88
so that it would start
turning against itself.
00:28:34.91\00:28:37.58
There has to be a
few things that happen.
00:28:37.65\00:28:39.38
Number one, you need to
have a genetic predisposition.
00:28:39.41\00:28:42.88
So typically, you know, if
you come from family members
00:28:42.92\00:28:46.76
that have
autoimmune or gut problems,
00:28:46.79\00:28:50.73
that kind of thing.
00:28:50.76\00:28:52.13
Number two, you need
to have gut permeability.
00:28:52.16\00:28:55.40
Okay.
00:28:55.43\00:28:56.77
That's this condition
that we call leaky gut
00:28:56.80\00:28:59.13
where the gut is inflamed.
00:28:59.17\00:29:02.70
Different reasons
for why food and bacteria
00:29:02.74\00:29:06.88
would enter into the body.
00:29:06.91\00:29:08.61
Okay.
00:29:08.64\00:29:10.05
And usually, it happens
for a number of reasons.
00:29:10.08\00:29:15.55
They found for instance,
00:29:15.58\00:29:16.92
Dr. Alessio Fasano found
that by eating wheat, gluten
00:29:16.99\00:29:21.26
that gluten causes
your body to produce
00:29:21.29\00:29:23.96
a protein called zonulin.
00:29:24.03\00:29:25.66
Okay.
00:29:25.69\00:29:27.03
And that zonulin
00:29:27.10\00:29:28.43
when it
attaches to the receptors
00:29:28.46\00:29:30.00
on your intestinal cells
00:29:30.07\00:29:33.07
that it'll cause them
to lose the tight junctions
00:29:33.10\00:29:36.00
that causes them
to stick together.
00:29:36.04\00:29:38.67
And so that causes you
to develop the leakiness.
00:29:38.71\00:29:41.78
And so now food
rather than being digested
00:29:41.81\00:29:44.15
to its smallest particles
will get absorbed earlier.
00:29:44.18\00:29:49.02
Okay.
00:29:49.05\00:29:50.39
And so, and then you also have,
00:29:50.42\00:29:52.32
you know, if
you have medications
00:29:52.35\00:29:53.86
and these types of things
00:29:53.89\00:29:55.22
that are disrupting
the mucous membrane,
00:29:55.26\00:30:00.10
or the mucus barrier
00:30:00.13\00:30:01.46
and you're not
drinking enough water,
00:30:01.50\00:30:03.47
because mucus is like 99% water,
00:30:03.50\00:30:06.84
you know,
00:30:06.87\00:30:08.20
then that'll
contribute to it as well.
00:30:08.24\00:30:10.94
So you need to have a leaky gut,
00:30:10.97\00:30:13.88
and then an
inflammatory trigger.
00:30:13.91\00:30:15.88
Okay.
00:30:15.91\00:30:17.25
So that inflammatory
trigger can be medications,
00:30:17.28\00:30:19.65
it can be antibiotics,
00:30:19.68\00:30:21.05
it can be different
foods that you're eating
00:30:21.08\00:30:24.99
or not eating,
maybe malnutrition,
00:30:25.02\00:30:27.46
it can be even emotional stress.
00:30:27.49\00:30:29.62
Eighty percent of those
who have autoimmune disease
00:30:29.66\00:30:31.79
report some
kind of severe stress
00:30:31.83\00:30:35.23
around the same time.
00:30:35.26\00:30:36.97
So you need to have a few things
00:30:37.00\00:30:39.07
that are happening.
00:30:39.10\00:30:40.44
It's not just
one day you wake up
00:30:40.47\00:30:41.80
and you have
autoimmune disease, you know?
00:30:41.84\00:30:43.17
Got you. Got you.
00:30:43.20\00:30:44.54
It's interesting to me
00:30:44.57\00:30:45.91
how foods can
either heal us or kill us.
00:30:45.94\00:30:47.68
Exactly.
00:30:47.71\00:30:49.04
Yeah, that's pretty interesting.
00:30:49.08\00:30:50.88
How did you guys come together
and create this cookbook?
00:30:50.95\00:30:56.02
Well, in 2011, I was
diagnosed with leaky gut.
00:30:56.05\00:31:00.49
And so I started
an elimination diet,
00:31:00.56\00:31:03.43
and it was improving the
pain and that type of thing.
00:31:03.46\00:31:07.63
I didn't know how
to reincorporate foods.
00:31:07.66\00:31:11.10
And so I was doing well,
00:31:11.13\00:31:12.47
but I was wanting
to reincorporate foods.
00:31:12.50\00:31:15.07
And I thought pretty much
00:31:15.10\00:31:17.77
this was gonna be
the best that I got.
00:31:17.81\00:31:19.77
And then in 2015,
I listened to a talk
00:31:19.81\00:31:22.94
by Gabriel
Arruda on Audio Verse.
00:31:22.98\00:31:26.92
You're familiar
with Audio Verse.
00:31:26.95\00:31:28.28
Oh, yeah,
definitely. Definitely.
00:31:28.32\00:31:29.65
And he mentioned
00:31:29.68\00:31:32.75
how a woman by the
name of Mercy Ballard
00:31:32.79\00:31:36.16
had a Lifestyle Center,
00:31:36.19\00:31:37.73
and it had helped his
mother who had liver failure
00:31:37.76\00:31:41.60
from autoimmune disease
00:31:41.63\00:31:42.96
and how it had helped him
00:31:43.00\00:31:44.33
with the same
autoimmune liver problem.
00:31:44.37\00:31:48.67
And I thought
that's really interesting.
00:31:48.70\00:31:50.21
I'd never heard
of Lifestyle Center
00:31:50.24\00:31:53.14
helping people with
autoimmune conditions.
00:31:53.17\00:31:55.44
And I knew I had some kind of,
00:31:55.48\00:31:57.35
you know, leaky gut
type of process happening.
00:31:57.38\00:32:01.18
So I called her,
00:32:01.22\00:32:04.59
and I actually didn't
wanna pay to go to a program.
00:32:04.62\00:32:08.12
I just wanted to watch.
00:32:08.16\00:32:11.79
But she didn't allow that.
00:32:11.83\00:32:13.60
So I went there
in 2016 of January.
00:32:13.63\00:32:18.43
Okay.
00:32:18.47\00:32:19.80
And when I went there,
I was doing a lot better,
00:32:19.83\00:32:21.77
but I still had the
joint pain, it wasn't as bad,
00:32:21.80\00:32:25.97
but, you know?
00:32:26.01\00:32:27.38
And I was having
difficulty of breathing,
00:32:27.41\00:32:29.31
really bad difficulty
of breathing at night.
00:32:29.34\00:32:31.51
And I would pray, "Lord,
please help me to breathe,"
00:32:31.55\00:32:33.75
and then I go to sleep.
00:32:33.82\00:32:35.18
And I realized on the third day,
00:32:35.22\00:32:37.22
this as a 10-day program,
00:32:37.29\00:32:39.25
that I woke up to go on a walk.
00:32:39.29\00:32:43.73
And I realized I
didn't have any pain.
00:32:43.76\00:32:46.26
Wow.
00:32:46.29\00:32:47.63
And I realized that I
wasn't having difficulty
00:32:47.66\00:32:51.13
of breathing at night.
00:32:51.17\00:32:53.07
And it was, I guess,
for me at that point,
00:32:53.10\00:32:55.67
it was just such a
difference from anything
00:32:55.70\00:32:59.17
that I'd ever experience
00:32:59.21\00:33:00.71
even though I've been to
other lifestyle programs,
00:33:00.78\00:33:03.01
you know, I've been interested
in health all this time,
00:33:03.04\00:33:05.55
I've been doing
health programs at churches.
00:33:05.58\00:33:08.18
And I thought, you know,
00:33:08.22\00:33:11.39
everything that
I'm learning here,
00:33:11.42\00:33:13.19
it makes sense.
00:33:13.22\00:33:14.89
And I wonder why more
people don't know about this.
00:33:14.92\00:33:18.09
And I saw Mercy was
doing this by herself.
00:33:18.13\00:33:23.30
And I thought, "Well, you know,
00:33:23.37\00:33:24.97
I'll just keep in touch with her
00:33:25.00\00:33:26.33
try to encourage her."
00:33:26.37\00:33:27.70
And we would
talk on the phone...
00:33:27.74\00:33:29.57
And pray. We became friends.
00:33:29.60\00:33:31.74
And then one year...
00:33:31.77\00:33:35.44
It was a couple of years later,
00:33:35.48\00:33:36.85
I think that I
was really praying
00:33:36.88\00:33:39.91
about what to do 'cause I knew,
00:33:39.95\00:33:41.62
you know, if I was
trying to help people
00:33:41.65\00:33:44.02
in my clinic,
when they would come,
00:33:44.09\00:33:46.65
I would try to
help them lose weight,
00:33:46.69\00:33:48.52
stop smoking,
these kinds of things.
00:33:48.56\00:33:50.53
And I don't think we established
00:33:50.56\00:33:51.93
what type of doctor you are.
00:33:51.96\00:33:53.29
Oh, yeah, I'm
an ophthalmologist.
00:33:53.33\00:33:55.43
Yes. So I mostly operate.
00:33:55.46\00:33:58.90
Okay.
00:33:58.93\00:34:00.34
But I... You must
have steady hands.
00:34:00.37\00:34:05.17
But I know that
lifestyle contributes
00:34:05.21\00:34:08.71
to at least 80%
of chronic disease.
00:34:08.74\00:34:11.15
I'm a glaucoma
specialist by training.
00:34:11.18\00:34:13.62
And so I know that,
00:34:13.65\00:34:15.95
you know, the
glaucoma is a chronic illness.
00:34:15.98\00:34:18.72
I know that, you know,
00:34:18.75\00:34:20.36
if I help people
with their lifestyle,
00:34:20.39\00:34:22.72
that it will help them overall.
00:34:22.76\00:34:24.53
And so I would try to
ask them what they're eating
00:34:24.56\00:34:28.13
and, you know, just
see if I could help them
00:34:28.16\00:34:30.17
make progress in
their health journey.
00:34:30.20\00:34:33.00
And I thought, "You
know, I'm doing a good job."
00:34:33.03\00:34:35.24
I think initially, I
was thinking that, right?
00:34:35.27\00:34:37.34
You know, 'cause
I'm like, "All right,
00:34:37.41\00:34:39.01
I helped someone lose
weight. Oh, that's awesome.
00:34:39.04\00:34:41.04
I helped someone stop smoking.
00:34:41.08\00:34:42.51
You know, thank you, Lord,
00:34:42.54\00:34:43.88
for, you know,
this opportunity."
00:34:43.95\00:34:45.31
And I was happy with that.
00:34:45.35\00:34:46.95
And then I realized,
00:34:47.02\00:34:48.35
if I keep going
the rest of my career,
00:34:48.38\00:34:50.09
like this, say
20 years like this,
00:34:50.12\00:34:52.55
I'll have like
maybe 20 patients,
00:34:52.59\00:34:55.02
you know, at the
end of it, right?
00:34:55.06\00:34:56.93
And I thought, if
Jesus is coming soon,
00:34:56.96\00:35:00.00
and I really wanna help
people know that He's coming
00:35:00.03\00:35:03.70
and is this the
best use of my time?
00:35:03.77\00:35:06.84
You know, is this really
the best way to help people?
00:35:06.87\00:35:10.04
And so as I was
talking to Mercy, I was like,
00:35:10.11\00:35:11.84
"Mercy, let's do
an online course."
00:35:11.87\00:35:13.48
Okay.
00:35:13.51\00:35:14.84
And I said, "Okay,
we're gonna shoot video.
00:35:14.88\00:35:19.55
And so I started buying
all this video equipment."
00:35:19.58\00:35:22.18
She's like,
"Okay, I'll help you."
00:35:22.22\00:35:24.75
So in June of 2017
00:35:24.79\00:35:31.23
for six months, I
was preparing for June.
00:35:31.26\00:35:34.73
Wow.
00:35:34.76\00:35:36.10
To shoot this course.
00:35:36.13\00:35:37.47
Six-month preparation, yeah.
00:35:37.50\00:35:38.83
Six months I was
buying everything
00:35:38.87\00:35:40.67
and then I
bought the video camera,
00:35:40.74\00:35:43.44
and I was trying
to watch on YouTube
00:35:43.51\00:35:45.34
how to use this video camera.
00:35:45.37\00:35:47.58
And then I realized
it's just too much for me.
00:35:47.61\00:35:49.81
And so I started
praying for a videographer.
00:35:49.84\00:35:52.91
Nice.
00:35:52.95\00:35:54.32
And then the person
helping me at my house
00:35:54.35\00:35:57.79
every once in a
while, her name's Leslie.
00:35:57.82\00:36:00.16
She told me that her
son was in high school,
00:36:00.19\00:36:03.06
and he really
enjoyed doing videography.
00:36:03.09\00:36:05.86
So I asked if he
would be my videographer.
00:36:05.89\00:36:08.53
That's an answer to prayer.
00:36:08.56\00:36:09.90
So one month before
June, I got my videographer.
00:36:09.93\00:36:13.54
So I told Mercy.
00:36:13.57\00:36:14.90
I was like, "Mercy,
we got a videographer."
00:36:14.94\00:36:17.74
And she was
like, "That's great."
00:36:17.77\00:36:19.11
She's like, "Maybe
he can take pictures
00:36:19.14\00:36:21.44
of the dishes between the shots,
00:36:21.48\00:36:25.11
and we can do the cookbook."
00:36:25.15\00:36:27.05
Wow. That's not
a good idea, Jason.
00:36:27.12\00:36:29.92
You know, that's not gonna work.
00:36:29.95\00:36:31.29
So you're taking pictures
00:36:31.32\00:36:32.65
of so you're kind of
getting like beauty shots
00:36:32.69\00:36:34.52
in between the...
00:36:34.56\00:36:36.93
Yeah, yeah.
00:36:36.96\00:36:39.43
That's not gonna work, right?
00:36:39.46\00:36:41.76
But Mercy was like,
"Yeah, that'll be no problem."
00:36:41.80\00:36:44.33
And I thought I
was kind of irritated
00:36:44.37\00:36:47.54
'cause I was like, "Mercy,
00:36:47.57\00:36:48.90
you were gonna help me
with this online course.
00:36:48.94\00:36:50.51
We're not gonna
have time to do this."
00:36:50.54\00:36:52.04
Yes. Yes.
00:36:52.07\00:36:53.41
So but we prayed,
00:36:53.48\00:36:56.24
and we were
praying for a photographer
00:36:56.28\00:36:57.98
and then two weeks before
00:36:58.01\00:37:00.02
my sister had arranged
for a photography session
00:37:00.05\00:37:03.99
with her nanny, Liz.
00:37:04.02\00:37:06.35
And she said, "Joyce,
00:37:06.39\00:37:08.16
Liz has just started
a photography business."
00:37:08.19\00:37:11.66
Wow.
00:37:11.69\00:37:13.03
And she's like, it's so funny
00:37:13.06\00:37:14.56
because when she
took pictures of the kids
00:37:14.60\00:37:17.27
and sent them
to me on the phone,
00:37:17.30\00:37:18.63
she's like, they
were always really blurry.
00:37:18.67\00:37:22.74
And now... And now...
00:37:22.77\00:37:24.34
She started a
photography business.
00:37:24.37\00:37:27.08
So we took the family
pictures, and I asked Liz,
00:37:27.11\00:37:30.05
if she'd be willing
to try shooting pictures
00:37:30.08\00:37:33.42
for the cookbook.
00:37:33.45\00:37:34.78
And she had time
00:37:34.82\00:37:36.15
because she was
just starting out.
00:37:36.18\00:37:37.52
Yes.
00:37:37.59\00:37:38.92
So you got in at
the ground level.
00:37:38.95\00:37:40.29
I did.
00:37:40.32\00:37:41.66
I love it. That's great.
00:37:41.69\00:37:43.02
And I thought, well,
00:37:43.06\00:37:44.39
who knows but it'll be better
than what I can do, right?
00:37:44.43\00:37:47.50
And she took fabulous pictures.
00:37:47.53\00:37:50.40
She's really talented.
00:37:50.47\00:37:51.80
Yes. Yes.
00:37:51.83\00:37:53.17
And your cookbook
looks really good.
00:37:53.20\00:37:55.47
You know, we have,
00:37:55.50\00:37:57.04
we actually have a
graphic of the cookbook.
00:37:57.11\00:38:00.38
And you have
pictures turned out great.
00:38:00.41\00:38:03.38
I'm wondering maybe we
can show some of the pictures
00:38:03.45\00:38:05.78
of what the back.
00:38:05.81\00:38:08.72
Oh, absolutely.
00:38:08.75\00:38:10.29
Absolutely.
00:38:10.32\00:38:11.65
So you want to...
00:38:11.69\00:38:13.02
Okay, so there's
Leslie and her son Bryce.
00:38:13.05\00:38:16.02
He's the one that
did the videography.
00:38:16.06\00:38:17.63
How old was he?
00:38:17.66\00:38:18.99
I think Bryce was like a
sophomore in high school.
00:38:19.03\00:38:21.50
And you can see that
he went over and above
00:38:21.53\00:38:25.10
to set up for this course.
00:38:25.13\00:38:28.17
And, you know, there's Liz
00:38:28.20\00:38:32.04
and him setting up
for doing all of this.
00:38:32.07\00:38:34.54
And all that was
in your house, right?
00:38:34.58\00:38:36.08
This is at my house.
00:38:36.11\00:38:37.45
This is at my
house. I love the kitchen.
00:38:37.48\00:38:38.81
Yeah, it's nice.
00:38:38.85\00:38:40.22
Well, I had gotten this
and this Liz shooting the food.
00:38:40.25\00:38:44.19
I purchased the home
00:38:44.22\00:38:45.85
thinking I wanted to
teach cooking classes,
00:38:45.89\00:38:48.76
and I did do a few of those.
00:38:48.79\00:38:50.33
That's our favorite recipe,
00:38:50.36\00:38:51.69
the buckwheat
waffles that's from the book.
00:38:51.73\00:38:54.30
And yes, Bryce and Liz again,
00:38:54.33\00:38:58.90
the next slide will show
us working in the kitchen.
00:38:58.93\00:39:01.80
This is while we were
doing the course in June.
00:39:01.84\00:39:04.01
Wow.
00:39:04.04\00:39:05.37
And this is the
whole crew. So Bryce there.
00:39:05.41\00:39:09.11
We had one of Mercy's
friends Raquel and her daughter,
00:39:09.14\00:39:13.45
Nicole come and help
us to get the food ready.
00:39:13.52\00:39:16.92
It was like a four
or five-day production.
00:39:16.99\00:39:19.45
And these are our tortillas.
00:39:19.49\00:39:21.42
Now we're making tortillas
with sprouted ingredients.
00:39:21.46\00:39:25.59
Okay.
00:39:25.63\00:39:27.00
Mostly organic and
making them available
00:39:27.03\00:39:29.86
so that it's more
convenient for people.
00:39:29.90\00:39:31.93
That's
incredible. That's incredible.
00:39:31.97\00:39:33.94
Can you summarize the principles
00:39:33.97\00:39:36.27
in the autoimmune
plant-based cookbook?
00:39:36.30\00:39:38.44
Yeah.
00:39:38.47\00:39:39.81
I think, why
don't you start out.
00:39:39.84\00:39:42.14
So number one is plant-based.
00:39:42.18\00:39:44.85
In this whole
plant-based, no processed foods
00:39:44.88\00:39:46.82
so people have to
cook from scratch.
00:39:46.85\00:39:48.55
So we make a seven-day menu
00:39:48.58\00:39:50.62
there so people can follow
that and be easy to do it.
00:39:50.69\00:39:55.52
So because...
00:39:55.56\00:39:56.93
So the whole
week is planned out.
00:39:56.96\00:39:58.29
Yeah, exactly.
00:39:58.33\00:39:59.66
So if you read the book,
there's so many principles
00:39:59.69\00:40:01.80
that we follow that,
you know, we gonna go over.
00:40:01.83\00:40:03.67
Yes.
00:40:03.70\00:40:05.03
But, you know,
people get confused.
00:40:05.07\00:40:07.04
And it's just so
much information.
00:40:07.07\00:40:08.70
So we decided, let's
put it in seven days.
00:40:08.74\00:40:11.07
So they don't have to
find recipes here and there,
00:40:11.11\00:40:13.21
but just go directly there
and do the breakfast and lunch
00:40:13.24\00:40:16.51
and they can repeat it.
00:40:16.54\00:40:17.88
So people are
doing this and then,
00:40:17.91\00:40:19.85
you know, we get good emails,
00:40:19.88\00:40:22.22
like, "I've been
following you for two months,
00:40:22.25\00:40:24.55
and I'm fine
now," things like that.
00:40:24.59\00:40:26.55
So it's just incredible.
00:40:26.59\00:40:28.29
So that's one of the bases.
00:40:28.32\00:40:30.53
Another thing we do
is we remove the lectins
00:40:30.56\00:40:34.80
from the grains
because the grains...
00:40:34.83\00:40:36.77
The reason why
paleo removed the grains
00:40:36.80\00:40:38.60
because it's full of lectins.
00:40:38.63\00:40:40.34
And this is one of the
links to the food sensitivities.
00:40:40.37\00:40:43.94
So what we do is we
soak them and it's sprouted,
00:40:44.01\00:40:48.14
so it just makes
a big difference.
00:40:48.18\00:40:51.68
Yeah, but we do remove
the grains and the nuts
00:40:51.71\00:40:55.12
for two months
because it's kind of too harsh
00:40:55.15\00:40:57.59
for people that have a leaky gut
00:40:57.62\00:41:00.06
at the beginning
while they're recovering.
00:41:00.09\00:41:03.56
After the two months
or four months depending
00:41:03.63\00:41:06.06
when the symptoms are
gone, then we reintroduce them.
00:41:06.09\00:41:08.66
And when we
reintroduce them as we soak them
00:41:08.70\00:41:11.93
and the grains,
00:41:11.97\00:41:13.34
we like to process for two days
00:41:13.37\00:41:17.94
just to remove...
00:41:17.97\00:41:19.31
The lectins?
00:41:19.34\00:41:20.68
Yeah, as much as we can.
00:41:20.71\00:41:22.48
And then they reintroduce
that the grains and nuts
00:41:22.51\00:41:25.71
one at a time once a week.
00:41:25.75\00:41:27.95
Yeah.
00:41:27.98\00:41:29.32
But in the meantime,
we use the pseudo-grains.
00:41:29.35\00:41:33.15
And the
pseudo-grains are easy to digest
00:41:33.19\00:41:36.42
and you don't need
to process them so long,
00:41:36.46\00:41:38.73
you don't need to cook
them as long as the grains.
00:41:38.76\00:41:42.26
Okay? So it's a
short time cooking.
00:41:42.30\00:41:44.50
A faster process.
00:41:44.53\00:41:45.87
Yeah, so these pseudo-grains
00:41:45.90\00:41:47.47
are the quinoa,
buckwheat, amaranth.
00:41:47.54\00:41:50.51
There's a new one now is kaniwa.
00:41:50.54\00:41:52.14
Got you. Well...
00:41:52.17\00:41:53.51
Oh, go.
00:41:53.58\00:41:54.91
I was just gonna say
we have a video of Joel.
00:41:54.94\00:41:57.25
Oh, okay.
00:41:57.28\00:41:58.61
And we've got a few videos
00:41:58.65\00:41:59.98
that we wanna get
to time is escaping us.
00:42:00.02\00:42:01.42
That's a good one.
00:42:01.45\00:42:02.78
So we're gonna take a
look at the video with Joel.
00:42:02.82\00:42:05.99
Let's take a look at that now.
00:42:06.02\00:42:07.99
My name is Joel
Moutray, I'm 30 years old,
00:42:08.02\00:42:09.86
and I have psoriasis.
00:42:09.89\00:42:11.36
It was about 11 years ago
00:42:11.39\00:42:13.33
when I was just
graduated from high school,
00:42:13.40\00:42:15.23
I had first discover
that I had psoriasis.
00:42:15.26\00:42:17.37
Psoriasis is an
autoimmune condition
00:42:17.40\00:42:19.63
where the skin
grows faster than normal
00:42:19.67\00:42:22.67
because the body
is attacking itself.
00:42:22.70\00:42:24.31
And so it manifests itself
in red, scaly, flaky skin,
00:42:24.34\00:42:28.94
you know, going out in
public and people saying,
00:42:28.98\00:42:30.45
"Oh, what happened to your leg?"
00:42:30.48\00:42:32.38
You know, like,
"Is that poison oak?
00:42:32.41\00:42:34.32
Is that mosquito bites?"
00:42:34.35\00:42:35.68
And you have to say,
"Oh, no, it's just psoriasis."
00:42:35.72\00:42:37.29
They're like, "Is it
contagious?" You know?
00:42:37.32\00:42:39.59
And so just having to go
through those experiences,
00:42:39.62\00:42:42.32
you know,
having it in your scalp
00:42:42.36\00:42:43.73
and having every morning,
00:42:43.76\00:42:45.09
you know,
putting gel in your hair,
00:42:45.13\00:42:46.46
and then
forgetting that you forgot to,
00:42:46.49\00:42:47.83
you know, clean out
your scalp a little bit
00:42:47.86\00:42:49.90
so that there's not
white flakes in your hair,
00:42:49.93\00:42:51.50
and you have to take a
whole complete new shower.
00:42:51.53\00:42:53.54
And so for many years,
I just kind of signed off,
00:42:53.57\00:42:55.50
and I was I guess I'll just
gonna live with this forever.
00:42:55.54\00:42:57.77
And I think at a deep core level
00:42:57.81\00:42:59.81
I had to do with the
fact that I didn't believe
00:42:59.84\00:43:01.58
healing was possible even.
00:43:01.61\00:43:03.01
Just about a month ago,
00:43:03.04\00:43:04.38
I came back from the
Years Restored program
00:43:04.41\00:43:06.58
where I learned, you know,
00:43:06.61\00:43:08.05
through cooking demonstrations
and natural remedies
00:43:08.08\00:43:10.62
and hydrotherapy and sauna,
00:43:10.69\00:43:12.12
and also powerful
and informative lectures
00:43:12.15\00:43:15.16
based on science,
00:43:15.19\00:43:16.59
the principles
that I needed to know
00:43:16.62\00:43:18.13
on how to reverse
my autoimmune disease.
00:43:18.16\00:43:20.00
So after leaving
Years Restored program,
00:43:20.03\00:43:22.53
it has been an
amazing experience.
00:43:22.56\00:43:23.90
I've been in
almost 90% remission.
00:43:23.97\00:43:26.47
The pictures show that
00:43:26.50\00:43:27.84
that my body and my
skin is clearing up.
00:43:27.87\00:43:29.77
In my case,
00:43:29.80\00:43:31.14
the reason why I wasn't
pursuing recovering and healing
00:43:31.17\00:43:33.48
was because I didn't
believe it was possible.
00:43:33.51\00:43:34.94
So the first step that
I would recommend anyone
00:43:34.98\00:43:37.35
is to educate yourself.
00:43:37.38\00:43:38.71
In this course,
it's absolutely amazing
00:43:38.75\00:43:40.62
because it'll
teach you everything,
00:43:40.65\00:43:41.98
you know, not
only scientifically,
00:43:42.02\00:43:43.39
but practically
00:43:43.42\00:43:44.75
on what it means to
have an autoimmune disease,
00:43:44.79\00:43:46.42
how to overcome it
00:43:46.45\00:43:47.79
and what causes
autoimmune diseases.
00:43:47.82\00:43:49.39
And so number one,
you wanna inform yourself,
00:43:49.42\00:43:51.16
you wanna feed that information
00:43:51.19\00:43:52.76
because when you
receive information,
00:43:52.79\00:43:54.73
you'll then be inspired.
00:43:54.76\00:43:56.10
And when you're inspired,
00:43:56.13\00:43:57.47
then you can
start taking action.
00:43:57.50\00:43:58.83
And what's beautiful is that
they also have systems in place
00:43:58.87\00:44:01.10
to actually help you
and coach you along the way
00:44:01.14\00:44:03.30
after the course as well.
00:44:03.34\00:44:04.67
My interactions with
Mercy and with Dr. Joyce
00:44:04.71\00:44:07.28
have been amazing
00:44:07.31\00:44:08.64
because not
only do they give you
00:44:08.68\00:44:10.01
excellent
scientific based information
00:44:10.05\00:44:11.78
as well as
practical demonstrations
00:44:11.81\00:44:13.82
and tips on how
to implement this,
00:44:13.85\00:44:15.45
shopping lists, and
all these kinds of things
00:44:15.48\00:44:17.29
that help you on your journey
to heal in your recovery.
00:44:17.32\00:44:20.36
But I really admire
their desire to help me
00:44:20.39\00:44:23.02
and help everyone
that they interact
00:44:23.06\00:44:24.86
with because their goal is
not to become millionaires,
00:44:24.89\00:44:27.93
their goal is not
to do all these things,
00:44:27.96\00:44:29.90
but their goal is my
healing, your healing,
00:44:29.93\00:44:33.34
and they invest time and energy,
00:44:33.37\00:44:35.34
and they go above and
beyond any expectations really.
00:44:35.37\00:44:38.97
I received more
than I even paid for
00:44:39.01\00:44:41.31
going to the
Years Restored program.
00:44:41.34\00:44:43.35
And, you know,
taking this course
00:44:43.38\00:44:44.95
is something that I
would highly recommend
00:44:44.98\00:44:47.12
because you receive
that not only information,
00:44:47.15\00:44:49.08
but you'll
receive that community
00:44:49.12\00:44:50.72
and support on
your healing journey.
00:44:50.79\00:44:53.25
Wow.
00:44:58.79\00:45:00.13
It sounds like that
was a tremendous blessing
00:45:00.20\00:45:02.10
for Joel, before
we went to the video,
00:45:02.13\00:45:04.33
you were trying
to say something.
00:45:04.37\00:45:06.03
Well, I just
wanted to clarify too.
00:45:06.07\00:45:07.77
And you were asking
00:45:07.80\00:45:09.14
what the principles
of this cookbook are
00:45:09.17\00:45:11.41
and Years Restored,
what do we do differently?
00:45:11.44\00:45:13.27
Yes.
00:45:13.31\00:45:14.64
And so one of the
things that Mercy said,
00:45:14.68\00:45:16.38
we're whole foods plant-based,
00:45:16.41\00:45:18.38
we do decrease lectins
by soaking and sprouting
00:45:18.41\00:45:21.15
all the high lectin foods
00:45:21.18\00:45:22.52
that would be
seeds, grains, nuts, beans.
00:45:22.55\00:45:25.29
And so we teach you
how to cook that way.
00:45:25.32\00:45:26.65
Okay.
00:45:26.69\00:45:28.02
And then the other
thing is that we teach you
00:45:28.06\00:45:29.39
about why this is happening.
00:45:29.42\00:45:30.93
And we believe that it has to do
00:45:30.96\00:45:32.49
with what's happening
00:45:32.53\00:45:33.90
with industrialized agriculture.
00:45:33.93\00:45:35.33
What's happening,
especially with glyphosate,
00:45:35.36\00:45:37.73
if you read about glyphosate,
00:45:37.77\00:45:39.10
it's patented not
only as a weed killer,
00:45:39.13\00:45:41.30
roundup, but it's
also a mineral key later,
00:45:41.34\00:45:44.37
it will grab up your minerals,
00:45:44.41\00:45:45.97
and it's also
patented as an antibiotic.
00:45:46.01\00:45:48.54
So think about the effect
that that's having on your gut.
00:45:48.58\00:45:51.78
So we teach people
about why this is happening,
00:45:51.81\00:45:54.58
why it's so important,
00:45:54.62\00:45:56.22
and how to remove the
things that are high risk,
00:45:56.25\00:46:00.16
GMO or genetically
modified and glyphosate
00:46:00.19\00:46:04.76
and the importance of
being consistent with it.
00:46:04.79\00:46:08.40
How to eat
according to the principles
00:46:08.43\00:46:10.07
that we were talking
about that kind of stuff.
00:46:10.10\00:46:11.97
Wow, that's huge.
00:46:12.00\00:46:13.34
Now we also have a seed butter.
00:46:13.37\00:46:16.27
Okay, This next video,
00:46:16.30\00:46:19.47
I wanna show you
what we're doing now.
00:46:19.51\00:46:21.28
So because people
can't come to the program.
00:46:21.31\00:46:24.85
So that's why we
did the cookbook,
00:46:24.88\00:46:26.72
but we also have
the online course
00:46:26.75\00:46:28.95
available soon.
00:46:28.98\00:46:30.49
So that course
with all the videos,
00:46:30.52\00:46:32.95
so we're gonna
show you the promo
00:46:32.99\00:46:34.49
we debuted it in
October had 100 people,
00:46:34.52\00:46:37.96
and we wanted to
provide a community
00:46:37.99\00:46:40.10
where people can join
and not only learn education,
00:46:40.13\00:46:43.50
information,
00:46:43.57\00:46:44.90
but where we could
encourage and interact.
00:46:44.93\00:46:47.74
So that's what we're
gonna show in the video.
00:46:47.77\00:46:50.31
I love it. That's incredible.
00:46:50.34\00:46:51.67
In fact, let's go to
that video right now.
00:46:51.71\00:46:54.71
Mercy and I recently published
00:46:54.74\00:46:57.35
The Autoimmune
Plant Based Cookbook.
00:46:57.38\00:46:59.81
And in October of 2019,
00:46:59.85\00:47:02.68
we conducted our
first online course.
00:47:02.72\00:47:05.99
We called it The
Autoimmune Recovery Plan.
00:47:06.02\00:47:09.82
We provided 20
lectures on autoimmune disease,
00:47:09.86\00:47:13.13
leaky gut, and how to heal.
00:47:13.16\00:47:15.43
We also provided
video demonstrations
00:47:15.46\00:47:17.73
on how to prepare foods
00:47:17.77\00:47:19.27
from The Autoimmune
Plant Based Cookbook
00:47:19.30\00:47:21.64
and how to have a
successful health journey.
00:47:21.67\00:47:24.57
So welcome to this lesson today.
00:47:44.13\00:47:45.76
We're gonna talk about how
to make butters and spreads
00:47:45.79\00:47:50.07
from things like pumpkin
seeds and sunflower seeds.
00:47:50.10\00:47:54.27
And so what we've done is
that we have already soaked.
00:47:54.30\00:47:58.94
And soaked the pumpkin seeds
00:47:58.97\00:48:02.34
and the
sunflower seeds overnight,
00:48:02.38\00:48:05.11
and then we have dehydrated them
00:48:05.15\00:48:07.62
for about 24 hours.
00:48:07.65\00:48:09.25
And so today,
we're gonna make this
00:48:09.28\00:48:12.22
from the pumpkin seeds,
00:48:12.25\00:48:13.59
but I just wanted to at
least show you the pumpkin
00:48:13.66\00:48:17.16
and the sunflower seeds.
00:48:17.23\00:48:18.93
And so, Mercy, can
you just let us know
00:48:18.96\00:48:20.80
how many cups of
what we're gonna use?
00:48:20.83\00:48:22.60
Sure.
00:48:22.63\00:48:23.97
So we have one
cup of pumpkin seeds
00:48:24.00\00:48:25.80
and one cup of shredded coconut.
00:48:25.83\00:48:29.27
That makes it super great.
00:48:29.30\00:48:32.24
So one cup of coconut
and one cup of pumpkin seeds
00:48:32.27\00:48:37.78
that have already
been soaked overnight,
00:48:37.81\00:48:40.02
and how much salt is this?
00:48:40.05\00:48:41.68
This is one teaspoon of salt
00:48:41.72\00:48:43.08
that we're gonna
add it toward the end,
00:48:43.12\00:48:44.69
otherwise it doesn't
make butter for some reason.
00:48:44.72\00:48:47.06
And the pumpkin seeds
have to be super dried.
00:48:47.09\00:48:50.46
Okay. Yeah.
00:48:50.53\00:48:51.86
So you want to make sure
00:48:51.89\00:48:53.23
that if you wash this
right before you use it,
00:48:53.26\00:48:54.93
that you dry it really good.
00:48:54.96\00:48:56.30
You don't want to
have any moisture.
00:48:56.33\00:48:59.13
So we're gonna run
it for about 20 minutes,
00:48:59.17\00:49:01.67
right, Joyce?
00:49:01.70\00:49:03.04
Yeah, the thing about this
is that I've made it with salt.
00:49:03.07\00:49:05.54
And so that's probably
why it doesn't processed.
00:49:05.57\00:49:08.41
So it's gonna be
20 minutes and...
00:49:08.44\00:49:12.31
On high.
00:49:12.35\00:49:13.72
Okay, so we're...
00:49:13.75\00:49:15.08
So here are the
seed butters at the end
00:49:20.09\00:49:23.93
of about what 20
minutes of processing
00:49:23.96\00:49:27.40
and here's the sunflower.
00:49:27.43\00:49:28.96
You can see the pumpkin seed.
00:49:29.00\00:49:30.77
It's a beautiful green,
00:49:30.80\00:49:32.70
and we didn't show you
00:49:32.73\00:49:35.97
how we
processed sunflower seeds,
00:49:36.00\00:49:37.64
but you can do
it exactly the same
00:49:37.67\00:49:39.14
with equal parts
of sunflower seeds,
00:49:39.17\00:49:42.08
coconut, and salt.
00:49:42.11\00:49:44.48
Well, not equal part salt,
00:49:44.51\00:49:45.85
but about a teaspoon
of salt per cup of each,
00:49:45.88\00:49:50.82
if that makes sense.
00:49:50.89\00:49:52.29
But we just tried this morning
00:49:52.32\00:49:54.96
and it was a huge hit
for our crew here today.
00:49:54.99\00:50:00.63
Hope that you enjoy it as well.
00:50:00.70\00:50:04.27
Wow, that was a
quick recipe there.
00:50:04.30\00:50:08.00
And so is this program.
00:50:08.04\00:50:09.57
I mean, our time is
really dwindling down.
00:50:09.60\00:50:12.21
Real quick,
00:50:12.24\00:50:13.58
what are some of the
needs of your ministry?
00:50:13.61\00:50:17.45
Well, we really want this
to be a movement that grows.
00:50:17.48\00:50:21.05
We want this to
be just as popular
00:50:21.08\00:50:23.42
or more than
functional medicine.
00:50:23.49\00:50:25.69
We want people to
think about creation
00:50:25.72\00:50:28.09
rather than evolution
when it comes to their health.
00:50:28.12\00:50:31.06
And so just to let people know
that there is an online course
00:50:31.09\00:50:34.70
to get more education out there
00:50:34.73\00:50:36.80
our website WholenessMarket.com,
00:50:36.87\00:50:41.20
that's where
they can get the book.
00:50:41.24\00:50:42.57
Okay. That'll support us.
00:50:42.60\00:50:45.27
We're also producing tortillas
00:50:45.31\00:50:47.81
'cause we want to produce food
that is safe, that is sprouted,
00:50:47.84\00:50:53.52
you know, if you
get gluten-free bread,
00:50:53.55\00:50:55.95
it's not gonna have
sprouted ingredients in it.
00:50:55.98\00:50:57.49
Yes.
00:50:57.52\00:50:58.85
So that those are
the types of things
00:50:58.89\00:51:00.22
that we want people to value.
00:51:00.26\00:51:01.59
Got you.
00:51:01.62\00:51:02.96
And so if they could
go to Wholeness Market,
00:51:02.99\00:51:05.79
support us, like us on Facebook,
00:51:05.83\00:51:07.73
join our plant-based
gut health group on Facebook
00:51:07.76\00:51:10.87
and, you know,
that type of thing.
00:51:10.90\00:51:13.23
Help us write up these things,
get blogs out, and all that.
00:51:13.27\00:51:17.41
And then do you need
volunteers or anything?
00:51:17.44\00:51:19.54
We would love anything.
00:51:19.57\00:51:21.71
We're just starting out.
00:51:21.74\00:51:23.55
It's just us, and
we have Liz helping us,
00:51:23.58\00:51:26.35
and we're
working with Danny Kwan
00:51:26.38\00:51:27.92
and Seung Hoon
00:51:27.95\00:51:29.28
and some of these
other people for the course.
00:51:29.32\00:51:31.39
But we do need help.
00:51:31.42\00:51:33.59
Yeah, yeah.
00:51:33.66\00:51:34.99
It seems like
the work is so huge.
00:51:35.02\00:51:36.93
Yes. Yes, Yes, absolutely.
00:51:36.96\00:51:39.39
Well, we are going to get ready
00:51:39.43\00:51:41.93
to go to the address
role and a news break,
00:51:41.96\00:51:44.97
and we will be right back.
00:51:45.00\00:51:46.43
Don't go anywhere.
