Keep that in your hearts today.
00:05:22.25\00:05:24.35
Well, we have a wonderful guest,
00:05:24.39\00:05:27.69
Dr. Helen Stoddart,
00:05:27.72\00:05:29.06
and she is a personal friend,
00:05:29.09\00:05:32.09
and I so respect her.
00:05:32.13\00:05:35.40
As a medical practitioner,
00:05:35.43\00:05:37.30
she has helped me and
my family in certain ways.
00:05:37.33\00:05:41.00
And I'm just
very thankful for her.
00:05:41.04\00:05:43.91
So thank you, Dr.
Helen, for being with us today.
00:05:43.94\00:05:47.74
Thank you so much for having me.
00:05:47.78\00:05:50.01
I'm so excited to be here.
00:05:50.05\00:05:51.38
And you know,
00:05:51.41\00:05:52.75
I'm excited to
be talking to you.
00:05:52.78\00:05:54.72
Thank you. It's
mutualized, are you?
00:05:54.75\00:05:57.12
You know, you...
00:05:57.15\00:05:59.75
First of all, you have had
00:05:59.79\00:06:01.29
a very
interesting personal journey.
00:06:01.32\00:06:03.83
And when I read your book,
00:06:03.86\00:06:06.13
and we're going to
talk more about your book,
00:06:06.16\00:06:07.96
but when I read your book,
00:06:08.00\00:06:09.96
I realized that medicine
00:06:10.00\00:06:12.60
is not just a
profession for you.
00:06:12.63\00:06:15.17
Medicine is your calling.
00:06:15.20\00:06:17.61
And you have a
personal connection
00:06:17.64\00:06:20.51
with what you're doing.
00:06:20.54\00:06:22.04
Tell us a little
bit about your journey?
00:06:22.08\00:06:24.58
Well, I can tell
you that my mom told me
00:06:24.61\00:06:28.05
when I was a little girl,
00:06:28.08\00:06:29.82
that I saw a little boy
00:06:29.85\00:06:33.29
who we used the term
crippled at the time,
00:06:33.32\00:06:35.62
but we would call disabled now
00:06:35.66\00:06:38.33
who was walking
00:06:38.36\00:06:39.69
across the
street downtown and out
00:06:39.73\00:06:41.06
and he was
holding his mom's hand
00:06:41.10\00:06:42.43
and I was holding my
mom's hand and I told her,
00:06:42.46\00:06:45.17
I said, "Mom, when I grow up,
00:06:45.20\00:06:46.53
I want to help
people just like that."
00:06:46.57\00:06:48.64
And I didn't remember that
until I went to medical school.
00:06:48.67\00:06:53.31
And my mother told me,
00:06:53.34\00:06:54.68
that's what you said
you were going to do.
00:06:54.71\00:06:56.38
And, you know,
it's just amazing to me
00:06:56.41\00:06:58.51
how God remembers your
dreams longer than you do.
00:06:58.55\00:07:01.95
Yeah.
00:07:01.98\00:07:03.32
And so I was able
to realize that dream
00:07:03.35\00:07:05.69
and become a physician,
00:07:05.72\00:07:07.06
because I just
love helping people.
00:07:07.09\00:07:09.32
And it shows, it really shows
00:07:09.36\00:07:11.53
in the way you deal with people
00:07:11.56\00:07:13.19
and the way you
interact with them.
00:07:13.23\00:07:16.10
What made you decide
00:07:16.13\00:07:18.97
to write this
book about diabetes?
00:07:19.00\00:07:22.94
Because we need to
talk about diabetes.
00:07:22.97\00:07:24.81
But what made you decide
to write this particular book?
00:07:24.84\00:07:28.94
Well, I'm gonna say
this without crying.
00:07:28.98\00:07:35.15
But my mom
developed type 2 diabetes,
00:07:35.18\00:07:38.95
probably when I
was in elementary
00:07:38.99\00:07:41.92
or grade school.
00:07:41.96\00:07:43.63
And I remember Dr. Kerry,
00:07:43.66\00:07:48.13
who was her doctor told her
that she has a little sugar.
00:07:48.16\00:07:52.53
And at the time,
nobody really knew
00:07:52.57\00:07:55.50
what diabetes could do.
00:07:55.54\00:07:58.61
They just said she had
a little, a little sugar.
00:07:58.64\00:08:00.58
So in her mind,
I don't think that
00:08:00.61\00:08:02.48
it registered to her
what that actually means.
00:08:02.51\00:08:05.38
Yes.
00:08:05.41\00:08:06.75
And it didn't resonate
with the rest of my family.
00:08:06.78\00:08:09.18
I'm one of eight
children, and my mom and dad.
00:08:09.22\00:08:12.79
And I just
remember being a little girl
00:08:12.82\00:08:14.92
and she reaching for something
00:08:14.96\00:08:16.83
that I felt she shouldn't eat.
00:08:16.86\00:08:19.26
But everybody else
said, oh, it's just a little,
00:08:19.29\00:08:22.03
or it's just a little and,
00:08:22.06\00:08:25.30
you know, I'm
like next to the baby.
00:08:25.33\00:08:27.60
So nobody listens
to the baby, you know,
00:08:27.64\00:08:30.34
when you're talking about that.
00:08:30.37\00:08:31.71
It's just something
that she wanted to eat.
00:08:31.74\00:08:33.07
But somehow in
my childhood mind,
00:08:33.11\00:08:36.51
I recognized that
00:08:36.54\00:08:37.88
this was
something she should avoid.
00:08:37.91\00:08:40.52
And it wasn't until much later
00:08:40.55\00:08:43.02
that I was able
to say the reasons
00:08:43.05\00:08:45.35
why she should avoid it.
00:08:45.39\00:08:46.96
But unfortunately,
it came a little late,
00:08:46.99\00:08:50.06
because my mom as diabetes does,
00:08:50.09\00:08:54.80
being a progressive
00:08:54.83\00:08:56.16
and chronic
disease, it progressed.
00:08:56.20\00:08:58.10
And it caused a lot of
different problems in her,
00:08:58.13\00:09:01.74
she developed
high blood pressure.
00:09:01.77\00:09:03.61
She had high cholesterol,
00:09:03.64\00:09:06.11
she developed
congestive heart failure.
00:09:06.14\00:09:08.51
She started having
00:09:08.54\00:09:09.88
some compromises in her kidneys.
00:09:09.91\00:09:12.25
I mean, all of those
things were happening
00:09:12.28\00:09:14.68
while I was in college,
00:09:14.72\00:09:17.29
learning about
just basics biology.
00:09:17.32\00:09:20.92
And then, then I
went to medical school
00:09:20.96\00:09:23.96
and in medical school,
00:09:23.99\00:09:25.69
while I'm
learning about the heart,
00:09:25.73\00:09:28.56
she was having heart
conditions and boy was that
00:09:28.60\00:09:32.27
like the toughest time for me.
00:09:32.30\00:09:34.04
I remember my
attending professor,
00:09:34.07\00:09:39.34
I went to him, he
was a cardiologist,
00:09:39.37\00:09:41.08
and I told him, I said,
00:09:41.11\00:09:42.64
"My mom has high blood pressure.
00:09:42.68\00:09:44.95
She has high cholesterol.
00:09:44.98\00:09:46.31
She has
congestive heart failure.
00:09:46.35\00:09:47.98
And I'm just
wondering, what is that?
00:09:48.02\00:09:50.59
Is there
something that we can do?"
00:09:50.62\00:09:52.49
And he said, not trying to,
00:09:52.52\00:09:56.73
it wasn't in a way that
00:09:56.76\00:09:58.09
he was trying to hurt
me or anything like that.
00:09:58.13\00:10:00.33
But he was very honest
00:10:00.36\00:10:01.70
and very
straightforward with me.
00:10:01.73\00:10:03.10
And he said, "Your
mother is going to die."
00:10:03.13\00:10:06.10
And man, whoa...
00:10:06.13\00:10:09.47
That really got me.
00:10:09.50\00:10:12.97
Yes.
00:10:13.01\00:10:14.34
And it's very interesting that
just a little bit after that.
00:10:14.38\00:10:20.18
I got a call that said,
00:10:20.22\00:10:23.69
my mom had coded
00:10:23.72\00:10:26.82
and I will never forget it
00:10:26.86\00:10:30.69
because I was in California.
00:10:30.73\00:10:33.36
And my mom was in Indiana
00:10:33.40\00:10:35.36
and because she was a worrywart.
00:10:35.40\00:10:38.20
She didn't, you know, I
didn't want her to know that
00:10:38.23\00:10:39.70
I was traveling to California.
00:10:39.73\00:10:42.34
And I just wanted to
go there and come back
00:10:42.37\00:10:44.67
before she knew anything.
00:10:44.71\00:10:46.27
And while I was there,
00:10:46.31\00:10:48.61
I actually had a
layover in Illinois,
00:10:48.64\00:10:51.18
and I didn't call her
and that's probably the thing
00:10:51.21\00:10:53.95
that that haunts me the most,
00:10:53.98\00:10:56.08
is that I didn't
call her from Chicago.
00:10:56.12\00:10:58.35
I just didn't want
her to know I was there.
00:10:58.39\00:10:59.72
Yeah.
00:10:59.75\00:11:01.09
And then went to California,
00:11:01.12\00:11:02.46
hung out with my
girlfriend Lillian,
00:11:02.49\00:11:03.83
we were at her mom's
house, and we were just,
00:11:03.86\00:11:06.09
we just had a good
time gone to the beach.
00:11:06.13\00:11:08.16
And, you know, people watching
then we came back to her house.
00:11:08.20\00:11:11.77
And then my friend and
my sister gave me a call
00:11:11.80\00:11:15.67
at her house and I
answered the phone.
00:11:15.70\00:11:18.17
And what I remember was looking
at the phone in disbelief,
00:11:18.21\00:11:21.94
dropping the phone
00:11:21.98\00:11:23.51
and screaming to
the top of my lungs.
00:11:23.55\00:11:25.95
And her mom and
Lillian rushed to me,
00:11:25.98\00:11:28.55
because they knew
with that kind of screech,
00:11:28.58\00:11:31.15
there had to be something wrong.
00:11:31.19\00:11:33.02
And I just remember saying, God,
00:11:33.05\00:11:37.79
why my mother, you know, and...
00:11:37.83\00:11:42.33
So. Yeah.
00:11:42.36\00:11:44.03
So Lillian made all
the arrangements for me
00:11:44.07\00:11:47.57
to go home.
00:11:47.60\00:11:49.64
And I got on a flight.
00:11:49.67\00:11:51.07
She didn't even
remember all of that.
00:11:51.11\00:11:53.51
And I told her later,
00:11:53.54\00:11:54.94
how important that was to me
00:11:54.98\00:11:56.44
that she made
all the reservations.
00:11:56.48\00:11:58.58
She got me back home.
00:11:58.61\00:12:00.72
And all I could think
about what was going on,
00:12:00.75\00:12:03.52
what was going on.
00:12:03.55\00:12:04.89
And it was the
most difficult thing.
00:12:04.92\00:12:08.09
That was the hardest
thing for me to deal with.
00:12:08.12\00:12:10.79
With that call
your mother had passed,
00:12:10.83\00:12:13.60
or she was dying with that call?
00:12:13.63\00:12:15.56
Well, on that
call, she had died.
00:12:15.60\00:12:21.87
We had gotten a
call in November.
00:12:21.90\00:12:26.07
That was in July.
00:12:26.11\00:12:28.51
But the November before that,
00:12:28.54\00:12:31.68
she had, we had gotten
a call that she had coded.
00:12:31.71\00:12:36.79
And she made it through,
it was very interesting.
00:12:36.82\00:12:39.45
Because she, it
gave us an opportunity
00:12:39.49\00:12:42.42
to go home and see her,
there were three of us in DC.
00:12:42.46\00:12:46.39
My sister
Lacadia, my sister Anita,
00:12:46.43\00:12:48.86
and then I was there.
00:12:48.90\00:12:50.47
And we hopped in the car.
00:12:50.50\00:12:51.83
And I remember there
was a blizzard, you know,
00:12:51.87\00:12:53.20
Chicago's always got some,
some bad weather in November.
00:12:53.23\00:12:57.37
So you got to worry about that.
00:12:57.41\00:12:59.11
And so she...
00:12:59.14\00:13:01.51
We got in a car,
and we traveled back
00:13:01.54\00:13:03.28
and it was so quiet in the car.
00:13:03.31\00:13:05.11
Because I think all of us
00:13:05.15\00:13:06.48
were thinking
kind of the same thing.
00:13:06.51\00:13:07.85
And we were praying
and just kind of hoping
00:13:07.88\00:13:09.58
and we got to the hospital
and it's so interesting.
00:13:09.62\00:13:13.82
My mother told us that
she had had a dream that
00:13:13.86\00:13:17.46
that she that we had
come and when she saw us,
00:13:17.49\00:13:22.73
we came in the
same order as her dream,
00:13:22.76\00:13:25.80
which was very interesting.
00:13:25.83\00:13:27.57
And she told us,
00:13:27.60\00:13:29.57
and this is a
very interesting story.
00:13:29.60\00:13:32.37
My mom was an
amazing Christian woman,
00:13:32.41\00:13:35.64
amazing Christian woman,
00:13:35.68\00:13:37.01
like I want my
life to be like hers.
00:13:37.05\00:13:39.28
Yes. And she had said that.
00:13:39.31\00:13:44.75
She felt like God
was talking to her.
00:13:44.79\00:13:50.99
And she
remembered saying to Him,
00:13:51.03\00:13:54.26
I want to see your face.
00:13:54.30\00:13:56.56
And He said no
Annie, you can't see my face
00:13:56.60\00:13:59.30
because nobody has ever seen me
00:13:59.33\00:14:02.20
and lived and your
children are not ready.
00:14:02.24\00:14:05.57
And when she woke up
from her unconsciousness,
00:14:05.61\00:14:09.94
she told us that dream
00:14:09.98\00:14:12.05
and that we had
walked in the room
00:14:12.08\00:14:13.75
in the same order
that she had dreamt.
00:14:13.78\00:14:16.79
And I was just so happy
that she had made it through.
00:14:16.82\00:14:20.56
And, you know, I was studying.
00:14:20.59\00:14:22.46
So I had my books
in her room with her
00:14:22.49\00:14:24.89
because I didn't
want to leave her side.
00:14:24.93\00:14:26.59
And I just, I was just studying
because I'm in medical school.
00:14:26.63\00:14:28.66
Yeah.
00:14:28.70\00:14:30.03
And I'm studying
and I'm watching her
00:14:30.07\00:14:31.80
and she didn't
want to go to sleep
00:14:31.83\00:14:33.17
because she was
afraid to go to sleep.
00:14:33.20\00:14:34.90
And then I'm like, mom,
but you really need some rest.
00:14:34.94\00:14:36.81
Please go to sleep
00:14:36.84\00:14:38.17
and she didn't
want to go to sleep.
00:14:38.21\00:14:39.54
It was just,
00:14:39.57\00:14:40.91
it was just a
really difficult time.
00:14:40.94\00:14:42.81
But I'm so grateful
00:14:42.84\00:14:44.78
because God does
give you what you need.
00:14:44.81\00:14:47.78
And He did give us more time.
00:14:47.82\00:14:50.99
And that more time
really made a big difference.
00:14:51.02\00:14:53.92
I mean, like I
remember being in there,
00:14:53.96\00:14:56.76
we back home one more
time for the holidays.
00:14:56.79\00:15:00.16
And I remember being there
with her and taking pictures.
00:15:00.20\00:15:03.87
And I remember
the outfit she had on,
00:15:03.90\00:15:06.53
I remember the
smell of her hands.
00:15:06.57\00:15:08.94
I remember just her
sitting on the sofa telling us,
00:15:08.97\00:15:12.74
she loves me or telling us that
00:15:12.77\00:15:14.98
she loves us and me, you know,
00:15:15.01\00:15:16.68
all of us expressing I
mean, it was just, a just.
00:15:16.71\00:15:20.75
It was just a time
that that was difficult.
00:15:20.78\00:15:27.19
It was difficult.
00:15:27.22\00:15:28.56
And, I remember
getting in the car
00:15:28.59\00:15:30.79
and going back to DC.
00:15:30.83\00:15:32.59
And thinking in my mind,
00:15:32.63\00:15:34.63
this is probably the
last time I'll see you.
00:15:34.66\00:15:38.23
And it was.
00:15:38.27\00:15:42.10
That song is...
00:15:42.14\00:15:43.94
Oh, you all know
how I cry, right?
00:15:43.97\00:15:47.38
I didn't mean
that, I was explaining.
00:15:47.41\00:15:48.74
No, no, no, no.
00:15:48.78\00:15:50.11
But honestly,
that's so beautiful
00:15:50.15\00:15:52.45
because again, it
shows several things.
00:15:52.48\00:15:56.18
Number one, it shows the legacy
that your mother left you.
00:15:56.22\00:16:00.72
Number two.
00:16:00.76\00:16:02.16
Let's start again.
00:16:02.19\00:16:03.53
Number one, it
shows how merciful God is.
00:16:03.56\00:16:05.86
Yes.
00:16:05.89\00:16:07.23
By allowing her to
have more time with you.
00:16:07.26\00:16:09.90
Yes. Because
sometimes we need...
00:16:09.93\00:16:14.67
In my own case with my
mother, I needed more time too
00:16:14.70\00:16:18.27
and the Lord gave us
a bit more time and so,
00:16:18.31\00:16:22.34
that's such a blessing.
00:16:22.38\00:16:23.71
Some people
don't have more time.
00:16:23.75\00:16:26.41
But in this case, the
Lord gave me more time.
00:16:26.45\00:16:29.05
And that's a blessing.
00:16:29.08\00:16:30.42
Number two, the
legacy that your mother left.
00:16:30.45\00:16:34.09
And number three,
00:16:34.12\00:16:35.46
the calling on you with medicine
00:16:35.49\00:16:40.80
and now it's personal.
00:16:40.83\00:16:43.60
Now, it's something that,
00:16:43.63\00:16:45.60
you know, you
have this passion for,
00:16:45.63\00:16:49.07
because you want
to help other people.
00:16:49.10\00:16:51.84
And because you've gone through
00:16:51.87\00:16:54.34
this kind of situation yourself,
00:16:54.38\00:16:56.44
and so, yeah, and I
appreciate your transparency,
00:16:56.48\00:17:00.98
because it's important to
know, it's important to know.
00:17:01.02\00:17:05.39
So let's talk about
diabetes, and what it is,
00:17:05.42\00:17:09.76
like what exactly
is type 2 diabetes?
00:17:09.79\00:17:14.23
Well, type 2 diabetes is a what
00:17:14.26\00:17:17.37
American Diabetes
Association calls a chronic
00:17:17.40\00:17:20.94
and progressive
disease, degenerative disease,
00:17:20.97\00:17:24.44
that is really a problem
00:17:24.47\00:17:26.98
with the way
sugar is metabolized,
00:17:27.01\00:17:29.38
or sugar is
broken down in your body.
00:17:29.41\00:17:31.75
With type 2 diabetes,
00:17:31.78\00:17:33.78
which 90% of
people who have diabetes
00:17:33.82\00:17:36.18
are typically going
to have type 2 diabetes.
00:17:36.22\00:17:38.69
It tends to cause something
00:17:38.72\00:17:43.46
called insulin resistance.
00:17:43.49\00:17:46.26
And if I could get
a little technical,
00:17:46.29\00:17:48.10
not too much,
00:17:48.13\00:17:49.46
I'm going to try
to be real simple.
00:17:49.50\00:17:50.83
But basically, the
idea is that the food
00:17:50.87\00:17:54.20
that you eat will go
through your digestive tract,
00:17:54.24\00:17:58.27
and it will be presented
00:17:58.31\00:18:00.88
to the cells of
your body by insulin.
00:18:00.91\00:18:03.98
So your pancreas has
something called beta cells,
00:18:04.01\00:18:06.65
and those beta cells are
going to secrete insulin.
00:18:06.68\00:18:09.08
And they're gonna be
like an escort for glucose.
00:18:09.12\00:18:12.92
So that when your food,
00:18:12.95\00:18:14.29
if I eat a candy
bar, it's broken down.
00:18:14.32\00:18:17.09
And so all those
molecules of sugar
00:18:17.13\00:18:19.36
will be broken down.
00:18:19.39\00:18:20.73
And insulin is going to
be secreted from the pancreas
00:18:20.76\00:18:23.23
to kind of help that
sugar go inside of the cell,
00:18:23.26\00:18:25.90
which is the desired
source of energy for your body.
00:18:25.93\00:18:31.44
Okay, your body
wants to have the glucose.
00:18:31.47\00:18:33.91
And so in order for it
to get inside the cell,
00:18:33.94\00:18:35.91
insulin has to
escort it in through
00:18:35.94\00:18:37.65
a couple of different processes
00:18:37.68\00:18:39.18
on the cell membrane,
00:18:39.21\00:18:40.55
and all of
those kinds of things.
00:18:40.58\00:18:41.92
But the idea is that
00:18:41.95\00:18:43.59
if it doesn't
get inside the cell,
00:18:43.62\00:18:45.85
then there's
going to be excess sugar
00:18:45.89\00:18:47.52
that's just swimming
around in the bloodstream.
00:18:47.56\00:18:50.86
And you've
probably heard that term
00:18:50.89\00:18:52.33
called hemoglobin A1C,
00:18:52.36\00:18:53.90
or that laboratory
test called hemoglobin A1C.
00:18:53.93\00:18:56.77
Well, that is called
glycosylated hemoglobin.
00:18:56.80\00:19:00.30
And so what that means is that
00:19:00.34\00:19:01.87
the red blood cells in your body
00:19:01.90\00:19:03.54
will have glucose tag to it.
00:19:03.57\00:19:06.88
And your body can only
handle a certain amount of that.
00:19:06.91\00:19:10.05
When it gets to be too
much, it becomes inflammatory.
00:19:10.08\00:19:13.18
And it's like something
00:19:13.21\00:19:17.15
scraping against the walls
00:19:17.19\00:19:19.65
of your blood vessels.
00:19:19.69\00:19:21.36
So I always like
to talk about it.
00:19:21.39\00:19:23.12
Like if you were in a tunnel,
00:19:23.16\00:19:25.79
and you for some
reason decided to ride
00:19:25.83\00:19:28.83
on the top of
the car in the tunnel
00:19:28.86\00:19:30.63
and it's a narrow tunnel,
00:19:30.67\00:19:32.43
you would be on top
of the car scraping up
00:19:32.47\00:19:35.54
against the tunnel top
because of your position there.
00:19:35.57\00:19:39.64
That's what the
glycosylated hemoglobin
00:19:39.67\00:19:41.41
does to your blood vessels.
00:19:41.44\00:19:43.01
And so it's scraping the insides
00:19:43.04\00:19:44.98
of your blood vessels
00:19:45.01\00:19:46.35
causing all of this
inflammatory reactions
00:19:46.38\00:19:48.98
inside of the blood vessels
00:19:49.02\00:19:50.35
which is what leads to
the cardiovascular disease,
00:19:50.39\00:19:52.95
increasing your risk of stroke
and things of that nature.
00:19:52.99\00:19:57.19
So this whole
thing with it being
00:19:57.23\00:20:00.23
just a little sugar
is not a little sugar,
00:20:00.26\00:20:02.93
it's actually a very damaging
condition that you have.
00:20:02.96\00:20:08.14
You want to make
sure that the foods
00:20:08.17\00:20:10.37
that you ingest
are not those ones
00:20:10.41\00:20:12.44
that can't be broken down.
00:20:12.47\00:20:14.54
And if I can tell
you a little bit further,
00:20:14.58\00:20:16.48
I'm going to destroy one myth
00:20:16.51\00:20:18.41
that people have about
type 2 diabetes is that
00:20:18.45\00:20:22.68
it's all about the sugar.
00:20:22.72\00:20:24.82
It's really not
all about the sugar.
00:20:24.85\00:20:27.42
And that's the
interesting thing.
00:20:27.46\00:20:28.82
The studies now shown
that, that the issue is that
00:20:28.86\00:20:32.46
there's something
called intramyocellular lipids,
00:20:32.49\00:20:36.23
which is really a nice,
long, you know, as doctors,
00:20:36.26\00:20:39.27
we like to have terms,
00:20:39.30\00:20:40.64
so you can like
respect that doctors, right?
00:20:40.67\00:20:43.24
So we use this term
called intramyocellular lipids.
00:20:43.27\00:20:46.14
And what that means is that
00:20:46.17\00:20:47.51
there's so much
fat inside the cell
00:20:47.54\00:20:49.31
where that glucose
is trying to get inside.
00:20:49.34\00:20:51.58
There's so much
fat inside the cell
00:20:51.61\00:20:53.68
that it can't...
00:20:53.72\00:20:55.48
Right, it's like a
glue. It's like a glue.
00:20:55.52\00:20:57.95
I love that you said
that, because it is like a glue
00:20:57.99\00:21:00.66
that kind of closes the lock,
00:21:00.69\00:21:04.33
so that you can't
get that glucose inside.
00:21:04.36\00:21:06.66
And in my book, I talk about
00:21:06.70\00:21:08.40
how it's like
going to your party,
00:21:08.43\00:21:11.93
you're the guest of honor,
00:21:11.97\00:21:13.30
I'm glucose, I'm
the guest of honor.
00:21:13.34\00:21:15.40
And I'm trying to
get into this cell
00:21:15.44\00:21:17.14
that where my
party is happening.
00:21:17.17\00:21:18.51
Right.
00:21:18.54\00:21:19.87
But there's so many,
00:21:19.91\00:21:21.24
so much fat, so many fat cells
00:21:21.28\00:21:22.61
inside that cell
that I can't get into it.
00:21:22.64\00:21:27.08
So I'm trying to get insulin,
00:21:27.12\00:21:28.75
I'm like, hey,
but can you help me
00:21:28.78\00:21:30.25
get inside this cell?
00:21:30.29\00:21:31.72
And so he comes, he's
like the bouncer, right?
00:21:31.75\00:21:33.25
He's the bouncer,
00:21:33.29\00:21:34.62
he's coming and
he's trying to get that
00:21:34.66\00:21:35.99
glucose inside the cell.
00:21:36.02\00:21:37.36
But then what happens?
00:21:37.39\00:21:38.73
He's like, wait a minute,
00:21:38.76\00:21:40.10
something's wrong with
this lock, I can't get in.
00:21:40.13\00:21:41.46
So he calls his
buddies and says,
00:21:41.50\00:21:42.86
hey, can you get
bring some more guys,
00:21:42.90\00:21:44.67
I need you guys.
00:21:44.70\00:21:46.03
Because if we get more of us,
we'll be able to get it inside.
00:21:46.07\00:21:48.87
So he gets a lot
of his insulin buddies
00:21:48.90\00:21:50.81
to come in to try to get
that glucose inside the cell.
00:21:50.84\00:21:53.61
And though he
probably gets a little bit in,
00:21:53.64\00:21:55.61
he can't get much in
00:21:55.64\00:21:56.98
because it's like
standing room only
00:21:57.01\00:21:58.35
where it's all of these
fat cells inside, holding,
00:21:58.38\00:22:01.88
hogging up all of the rooms
00:22:01.92\00:22:03.45
so that he can't get inside.
00:22:03.49\00:22:04.82
Oh, that's a good
analogy. I love it.
00:22:04.85\00:22:07.69
So you get all
this glucose backed up
00:22:07.72\00:22:09.42
into your bloodstream.
00:22:09.46\00:22:10.79
And that's really
where the major problem is.
00:22:10.83\00:22:12.59
You know, it's so
interesting to me, Dr. Helen,
00:22:12.63\00:22:14.76
because people
don't really realize
00:22:14.80\00:22:18.90
how serious diabetes is.
00:22:18.93\00:22:21.64
Exactly. I mean, I...
00:22:21.67\00:22:23.94
A little sugar.
00:22:23.97\00:22:26.24
It's so, I mean, amputations,
you know, kidney failure,
00:22:26.27\00:22:30.61
renal failure, and all
of these things that...
00:22:30.65\00:22:32.28
Nerve damage. Yes, yes.
00:22:32.31\00:22:34.92
All of these things that
happen as a result of diabetes.
00:22:34.95\00:22:39.32
Exactly.
00:22:39.35\00:22:40.69
It is not some minor condition,
00:22:40.72\00:22:43.89
and it affects so
many people in our country.
00:22:43.93\00:22:48.86
About 30 million
people have type 2 diabetes,
00:22:48.90\00:22:52.93
have diabetes,
it's just, it's crazy.
00:22:52.97\00:22:54.57
It's crazy.
00:22:54.60\00:22:55.94
That's like 10%
of the population.
00:22:55.97\00:22:57.51
Where do you
think it comes from?
00:22:57.54\00:22:59.34
Well, I think, I think first,
00:22:59.37\00:23:01.21
there's a false
narrative that is just got
00:23:01.24\00:23:03.68
something to do with our sugar.
00:23:03.71\00:23:06.41
When I actually
assess a patient,
00:23:06.45\00:23:09.02
I'm looking at a
lot of different things.
00:23:09.05\00:23:10.39
I'm looking, I want to see
00:23:10.42\00:23:11.75
if there are toxins
that are causing some issues.
00:23:11.79\00:23:14.26
I'm looking to see
what your diet is like.
00:23:14.29\00:23:15.89
I'm looking to see
00:23:15.92\00:23:17.26
what your
activity level is like.
00:23:17.29\00:23:18.63
I look at your hormones.
00:23:18.66\00:23:20.30
I want to see all of
those various parts of it,
00:23:20.33\00:23:24.03
so that I can
optimize a program for you
00:23:24.07\00:23:28.04
to reverse type 2 diabetes,
00:23:28.07\00:23:29.60
because if you didn't know
type 2 diabetes is reversible.
00:23:29.64\00:23:33.98
And I love that it's reversible.
00:23:34.01\00:23:35.84
Because, you know,
00:23:35.88\00:23:37.21
and I love the
feeling when somebody says,
00:23:37.25\00:23:40.12
I don't have diabetes anymore.
00:23:40.15\00:23:41.68
You know, it's
like, here, ADA says, I...
00:23:41.72\00:23:46.29
I'm gonna have
00:23:46.32\00:23:47.99
this chronic
progressive condition.
00:23:48.02\00:23:50.43
But we now know that
it doesn't have to be
00:23:50.46\00:23:52.36
a chronic progressive condition.
00:23:52.39\00:23:54.26
And because of that, I
just feel like God put me
00:23:54.30\00:23:57.43
in a place to be
able to help people
00:23:57.47\00:23:59.90
turn this whole thing around.
00:23:59.93\00:24:01.27
Yes. And I love that about it.
00:24:01.30\00:24:03.47
And I love the fact that,
that you can still have like,
00:24:03.51\00:24:07.71
wonderful things and
just not have diabetes.
00:24:07.74\00:24:11.25
That's incredible.
00:24:11.28\00:24:12.61
Let's talk about
how you can reverse it.
00:24:12.65\00:24:15.95
What do you do to reverse it?
00:24:15.98\00:24:19.19
So one of the things
that I do is, like I told you,
00:24:19.22\00:24:22.06
I assess all of those
different parts of the person.
00:24:22.09\00:24:26.19
I'll do some laboratory data,
00:24:26.23\00:24:28.43
because I like to be
able to look at the numbers.
00:24:28.46\00:24:30.93
I want to see
what it looks like,
00:24:30.97\00:24:34.50
I want you to see
what your hemoglobin A1Cs.
00:24:34.54\00:24:36.87
I have had...
00:24:36.91\00:24:38.24
I've had people
who had hemoglobin A1Cs
00:24:38.27\00:24:39.61
out of this world.
00:24:39.64\00:24:40.98
I mean, you know, 12,
13, I mean, it's just crazy.
00:24:41.01\00:24:43.24
I mean, you
want to be less than,
00:24:43.28\00:24:45.15
like 5.6 and I, you know,
00:24:45.18\00:24:47.75
and I see a going
like into some realms
00:24:47.78\00:24:50.55
that you just
don't want to be in.
00:24:50.59\00:24:53.29
And a guy from California,
whose hemoglobin A1C was 13.8
00:24:53.32\00:24:59.23
I believe.
00:24:59.26\00:25:00.73
And so I treated
him over, you know,
00:25:00.76\00:25:05.20
internet is so
wonderful now, right?
00:25:05.23\00:25:06.57
Yeah.
00:25:06.60\00:25:07.94
And so we started talking,
00:25:07.97\00:25:10.11
and I helped him
reverse his type 2 diabetes.
00:25:10.14\00:25:12.57
So my goal is, is
to change some things
00:25:12.61\00:25:15.74
that caused you
to get where you go.
00:25:15.78\00:25:17.95
So Hippocrates said
something like this.
00:25:17.98\00:25:19.81
He says, in
order to help someone,
00:25:19.85\00:25:22.12
and I'm paraphrasing,
00:25:22.15\00:25:23.49
in order to help
someone with a disease,
00:25:23.52\00:25:25.45
you have to first find out
00:25:25.49\00:25:26.82
if they're willing
to stop doing the thing
00:25:26.86\00:25:28.69
that caused the
disease in the first place.
00:25:28.72\00:25:30.23
That's good. Right?
00:25:30.26\00:25:31.59
And that's really,
that's really where it comes,
00:25:31.63\00:25:33.93
it's like the person
has to be able to say,
00:25:33.96\00:25:36.13
"Yes, I'm ready to do this,"
00:25:36.16\00:25:38.03
because I can't make you do it.
00:25:38.07\00:25:40.37
You know, food people,
people tend to think that
00:25:40.40\00:25:42.90
in order to enjoy
life, and, you know,
00:25:42.94\00:25:44.97
I'm a foodie, I love to eat.
00:25:45.01\00:25:47.58
And my husband will say,
you know, we have two plates,
00:25:47.61\00:25:50.81
I always fix his plate.
00:25:50.85\00:25:52.18
And when we're
like having dinner,
00:25:52.21\00:25:53.55
and I'll fix plates,
00:25:53.58\00:25:54.92
and if we're at
somebody's house,
00:25:54.95\00:25:56.28
and I'm fixing his
plate and my plate,
00:25:56.32\00:25:57.65
they'll think that
his plate is my plate
00:25:57.69\00:25:59.02
and my plate is his plate,
00:25:59.05\00:26:00.39
because I'm going to
eat most of the food.
00:26:00.42\00:26:02.32
So I'm a foodie, I love to eat.
00:26:02.36\00:26:05.76
So one of the
things that I like to do is
00:26:05.79\00:26:07.60
I like to
introduce foods to people
00:26:07.63\00:26:10.27
that will help
you eat deliciously,
00:26:10.30\00:26:12.70
and still fight diabetes.
00:26:12.73\00:26:14.80
That is so important.
00:26:14.84\00:26:17.01
It's so good to have food
that looks good, tastes good.
00:26:17.04\00:26:20.78
Because if it's, if it
doesn't look appetizing,
00:26:20.81\00:26:24.61
nobody's gonna want to eat it.
00:26:24.65\00:26:26.21
And if it's nasty,
00:26:26.25\00:26:27.98
people definitely
don't want to eat it.
00:26:28.02\00:26:29.35
Sure, they're not
gonna want to eat it.
00:26:29.38\00:26:30.72
No.
00:26:30.75\00:26:32.09
So, yeah, so we have
some pictures of some foods.
00:26:32.12\00:26:34.19
And if you could just
kind of walk us through,
00:26:34.22\00:26:36.69
like what's important
about these particular foods.
00:26:36.73\00:26:40.16
These are just some of many,
but let's take a look at it.
00:26:40.20\00:26:42.73
Ah, absolutely.
00:26:42.76\00:26:44.77
So this is sauteed ocra
with tomatoes and peppers.
00:26:44.80\00:26:50.97
I really like this one.
00:26:51.01\00:26:53.58
I like to use seeds,
00:26:53.61\00:26:55.34
I like to use a
lot of fresh herbs
00:26:55.38\00:26:57.11
because the fresh herbs,
00:26:57.15\00:26:58.48
you know, being
antifungal, antibacterial,
00:26:58.51\00:27:01.45
you can
actually not only put in,
00:27:01.48\00:27:06.32
I guess I like to call it
00:27:06.35\00:27:07.89
building the flavor in the food.
00:27:07.92\00:27:10.13
So I like to build the flavor
00:27:10.16\00:27:11.49
because I think
God is so amazing that
00:27:11.53\00:27:13.23
He gives us the plants to eat,
00:27:13.26\00:27:15.60
but then He gives us
seasonings for it too.
00:27:15.63\00:27:17.20
Yes.
00:27:17.23\00:27:18.57
So the herbs are
seasonings for it.
00:27:18.60\00:27:20.14
So I'll put in...
00:27:20.17\00:27:21.50
I'll put in some
thyme, or sage, or oregano,
00:27:21.54\00:27:26.21
or some fresh herb I have,
00:27:26.24\00:27:28.01
I have like tons of
fresh herbs on my patio.
00:27:28.04\00:27:31.95
So I like to go out in the yard
00:27:31.98\00:27:33.72
and just pull some
out and put it in the food
00:27:33.75\00:27:35.38
for some flavor, and
is absolutely delicious
00:27:35.42\00:27:38.79
and it's good because
ocra actually helps to control
00:27:38.82\00:27:41.46
your blood sugar
levels and I love that.
00:27:41.49\00:27:43.69
So I just want
to be able to add,
00:27:43.73\00:27:46.23
add nutrition and add
flavor at the same time.
00:27:46.26\00:27:49.66
That is so great.
00:27:49.70\00:27:51.03
I know, I'm gonna make
sure my son Jason watches this
00:27:51.07\00:27:54.70
'cause he is a foodie.
00:27:54.74\00:27:56.60
He is a foodie.
He is such a foodie.
00:27:56.64\00:27:58.71
I'm a foodie too,
so he gets it honestly,
00:27:58.74\00:28:00.64
but he is such a foodie.
00:28:00.68\00:28:02.54
And so this is going
to really encourage him
00:28:02.58\00:28:05.38
to move toward a more
plant-based diet and me,
00:28:05.41\00:28:08.98
because I think
it's just so important.
00:28:09.02\00:28:11.15
And God has given us everything
that we need to stay healthy.
00:28:11.19\00:28:17.16
And the fiber also,
00:28:17.19\00:28:20.83
it's so
important to have the fiber
00:28:20.86\00:28:23.37
because that, I believe
00:28:23.40\00:28:24.90
when I was practicing
naturopathic medicine,
00:28:24.93\00:28:28.87
I would
recommend fiber to people
00:28:28.90\00:28:32.61
who had diabetes
00:28:32.64\00:28:33.98
because it slows down
the metabolism of glucose.
00:28:34.01\00:28:37.15
Exactly.
00:28:37.18\00:28:38.51
And so, yeah, so, it's so,
God's given us what we need.
00:28:38.55\00:28:43.18
Firstly, the
foods that God gave us,
00:28:43.22\00:28:45.05
the fiber, there's
already fiber in it.
00:28:45.09\00:28:46.89
Exactly.
00:28:46.92\00:28:48.26
You see, that's why,
00:28:48.29\00:28:49.62
so, you know,
Genesis 1:29 talks about,
00:28:49.66\00:28:51.89
"I give you every seed bearing,
00:28:51.93\00:28:55.20
and every tree
that produces seed
00:28:55.23\00:28:57.20
for your food.
00:28:57.23\00:28:58.57
This is going to be your food."
00:28:58.60\00:28:59.93
And what's so
interesting to me is that
00:28:59.97\00:29:01.30
Genesis 1:29 says that about us,
00:29:01.34\00:29:03.27
and then Genesis 1:30 says,
00:29:03.30\00:29:05.81
"And even the animals
00:29:05.84\00:29:07.68
are going to
have seeds for food."
00:29:07.71\00:29:10.55
I mean, like, can
you imagine a lion
00:29:10.58\00:29:12.95
was eating off
plants instead of you?
00:29:12.98\00:29:15.18
Yeah. Right.
00:29:15.22\00:29:18.39
And that's how it'll
be when we go to heaven.
00:29:18.42\00:29:19.75
Exactly.
00:29:19.79\00:29:21.12
You know, going
back to the original diet
00:29:21.16\00:29:23.73
where there's no death,
but yeah, the lions won't be...
00:29:23.76\00:29:26.96
Lions will be eating vegetables.
00:29:27.00\00:29:28.60
They won't be
interested in eating us.
00:29:28.63\00:29:30.20
Right. So I can rub their heads.
00:29:30.23\00:29:33.03
Hey lion, you know,
my dog, I have a dog.
00:29:33.07\00:29:35.70
His name is
Kato, and he's a chow.
00:29:35.74\00:29:37.47
He's a white chow.
00:29:37.51\00:29:38.84
And he looks like a wolf.
00:29:38.87\00:29:40.31
And so people
probably look at us and say,
00:29:40.34\00:29:42.38
how is she
rubbing that wolf hair?
00:29:42.41\00:29:46.58
But that's what we'll
be able to do in heaven
00:29:46.61\00:29:49.08
because they won't
be concerned about us.
00:29:49.12\00:29:50.45
They're trying to,
00:29:50.49\00:29:51.82
they want to get
their food from like,
00:29:51.85\00:29:53.19
we're gonna get ours.
00:29:53.22\00:29:54.56
You know, I
mean, it's so simple.
00:29:54.59\00:29:56.76
That's true. That's true.
00:29:56.79\00:29:58.13
Let's see another
diet. Now this is a story.
00:29:58.16\00:30:04.17
So this is a beet,
carrot, apple and ginger drink.
00:30:04.20\00:30:08.64
Now this drink is so delicious.
00:30:08.67\00:30:11.81
Now I gotta tell you
one of the things that,
00:30:11.84\00:30:14.28
that plagues
diabetics in men is something
00:30:14.31\00:30:18.71
called erectile dysfunction.
00:30:18.75\00:30:20.98
And erectile
dysfunction is really
00:30:21.02\00:30:23.65
because of the same thing,
00:30:23.69\00:30:25.02
the blood vessels,
there's so much inflammation
00:30:25.05\00:30:26.42
inside the blood vessels,
00:30:26.45\00:30:27.99
that there's not enough
blood flow to the end organ.
00:30:28.02\00:30:32.79
Okay, so if you just
imagine your blood, your aorta,
00:30:32.83\00:30:37.47
for instance, is
a very huge organ.
00:30:37.50\00:30:38.83
So it takes a long time for you
00:30:38.87\00:30:40.50
to develop a heart attack,
00:30:40.54\00:30:42.24
to have a heart attack,
00:30:42.27\00:30:43.71
because there's so
much space in there.
00:30:43.74\00:30:46.24
But when you get
to smaller vessels,
00:30:46.27\00:30:48.94
like the ones that
that are responsible for ED,
00:30:48.98\00:30:51.91
or the ones that are responsible
00:30:51.95\00:30:53.31
for nourishing
your back vertebrae,
00:30:53.35\00:30:57.32
those vessels
are so much smaller,
00:30:57.35\00:30:59.59
that it's easier for
them to get clogged up.
00:30:59.62\00:31:02.39
So when they get clogged up,
then you end up with back pain,
00:31:02.42\00:31:04.73
or you end up with
erectile dysfunction.
00:31:04.76\00:31:06.53
And so this, this,
this drink, has beets in it.
00:31:06.56\00:31:11.40
And beets, I'm
not a fan of beets,
00:31:11.43\00:31:13.30
I must say 'cause to me,
they kind of taste like dirt.
00:31:13.34\00:31:15.94
But when I put it
together with the carrots,
00:31:15.97\00:31:19.67
and the apple and the ginger,
you don't taste that at all.
00:31:19.71\00:31:23.11
It's delicious. It is so good.
00:31:23.14\00:31:26.05
It makes you feel
like Popeye. Yeah.
00:31:26.08\00:31:28.32
And it's very
interesting, because, you know,
00:31:28.35\00:31:31.35
a little anecdotal
story is that I do talks,
00:31:31.39\00:31:34.96
and I did a talk
out, we were on a cruise
00:31:34.99\00:31:36.76
and I did a talk
about erectile dysfunction.
00:31:36.79\00:31:39.36
And while we were on the
boat, talking about that drink,
00:31:39.39\00:31:44.17
and I was talking
about the benefits
00:31:44.20\00:31:46.07
that there's nitric oxide,
00:31:46.10\00:31:47.54
and so that it keeps
the blood vessels open.
00:31:47.57\00:31:49.54
And you know,
00:31:49.57\00:31:50.91
how it's helpful in
these different situations.
00:31:50.94\00:31:53.01
And can I tell you,
00:31:53.04\00:31:54.58
that we could not
find a boat on the beet
00:31:54.61\00:31:56.91
after that on the...
00:31:56.95\00:31:58.28
A beet on the boat
00:31:58.31\00:32:03.49
after that talk, right,
00:32:03.52\00:32:05.29
because, you know,
the men are like, really?
00:32:05.32\00:32:07.06
It'll help that.
Oh, yes, I'll drink it.
00:32:07.09\00:32:09.62
So that was really
fun. But I love that drink.
00:32:09.66\00:32:11.93
And I drink it very regularly,
00:32:11.96\00:32:14.13
because I love
the way it tastes.
00:32:14.16\00:32:16.30
And it really does.
00:32:16.33\00:32:17.77
It just kind of feels
like it's going inside
00:32:17.80\00:32:20.10
and just and just
making your body stronger.
00:32:20.14\00:32:24.11
So I really love that.
00:32:24.14\00:32:25.57
And I think you hit
the nail on the head
00:32:25.61\00:32:27.38
with the nitric oxide
00:32:27.41\00:32:28.81
because that opens
up the aorta vessels.
00:32:28.84\00:32:30.65
Blood vessels, vasodilation.
00:32:30.68\00:32:32.41
That's why you want
to do Viagra, right?
00:32:32.45\00:32:34.62
Because if vaso dilates. Yeah.
00:32:34.65\00:32:36.42
Well, they're trying to mimic
00:32:36.45\00:32:38.29
what God already
made them to be, right?
00:32:38.32\00:32:41.52
So God already
knew what we needed.
00:32:41.56\00:32:43.79
You know, we just got
to reach out and grab it.
00:32:43.83\00:32:45.53
And it's really
almost a matter of
00:32:45.56\00:32:47.50
just reaching
out and grabbing it.
00:32:47.53\00:32:48.96
You can grow it in
your backyard, right?
00:32:49.00\00:32:52.60
You don't have to go to
the grocery store to get it.
00:32:52.63\00:32:55.10
You can just grow it.
It's really just amazing.
00:32:55.14\00:32:57.61
And it taste so
much better, you do.
00:32:57.64\00:32:58.97
It is so tasty.
00:32:59.01\00:33:00.34
And even if you have, you know,
00:33:00.38\00:33:01.91
you don't have much space,
you can have a patio garden.
00:33:01.94\00:33:04.65
Exactly.
00:33:04.68\00:33:06.01
You know, so there
are things you can do
00:33:06.05\00:33:07.62
with your urban little gardens.
00:33:07.65\00:33:09.28
The urban gardens. Absolutely.
00:33:09.32\00:33:11.69
I have things in
pots, you know, all in pots.
00:33:11.72\00:33:14.89
And then my husband made
my, made my raised garden
00:33:14.92\00:33:19.79
and it was, I wish
I had a picture of it
00:33:19.83\00:33:21.70
because I was so excited.
00:33:21.73\00:33:23.06
I was just like,
00:33:23.10\00:33:24.43
I'd put all my
little seeds in there,
00:33:24.47\00:33:25.83
things would just grow in.
00:33:25.87\00:33:27.47
I mean, it just
makes you feel so good
00:33:27.50\00:33:29.04
when you like do
it yourself, you know,
00:33:29.07\00:33:31.34
and how much money you save.
00:33:31.37\00:33:33.27
Money and the flavor
00:33:33.31\00:33:34.64
And the flavor.
00:33:34.68\00:33:36.01
Oh, you can't even
compare. You can't.
00:33:36.04\00:33:38.05
Home-grown tomatoes you
say with the store-bought.
00:33:38.08\00:33:42.15
Absolutely. No comparison.
00:33:42.18\00:33:44.19
No comparison. No comparison.
00:33:44.22\00:33:45.55
I want to ask
you about the beets
00:33:45.59\00:33:46.92
because it's high in
sugar, the natural sugar.
00:33:46.96\00:33:49.02
Yes.
00:33:49.06\00:33:50.39
So if you have diabetes,
do you have to limit that?
00:33:50.43\00:33:53.90
Or can you have like, you know,
00:33:53.93\00:33:56.60
as much not as much as you want.
00:33:56.63\00:33:58.13
But do you have
to limit the beets?
00:33:58.17\00:34:00.24
Well, I'll tell you this.
00:34:00.27\00:34:01.90
So part of my program
to reverse type 2 diabetes
00:34:01.94\00:34:08.21
is a detoxification process.
00:34:08.24\00:34:10.78
And so what you're
doing is all of the things
00:34:10.81\00:34:14.18
that are in that
drink actually support
00:34:14.22\00:34:17.72
what's called phase one
and phase two detoxification.
00:34:17.75\00:34:20.89
So all of those things like
00:34:20.92\00:34:22.26
in the first part
of detoxification,
00:34:22.29\00:34:23.89
the first phase
00:34:23.93\00:34:25.26
that all of which
occurs in the liver,
00:34:25.29\00:34:26.76
you can actually produce
some really toxic metabolites
00:34:26.80\00:34:30.20
from that phase.
00:34:30.23\00:34:31.57
And so what I do
is I put in foods
00:34:31.60\00:34:33.67
that will actually neutralize
00:34:33.70\00:34:35.64
those toxins so
that it's eliminated.
00:34:35.67\00:34:37.87
So because these
juices are so, are pure,
00:34:37.91\00:34:43.11
they're just the juice there,
00:34:43.14\00:34:44.88
they go quickly inside the cell
00:34:44.91\00:34:46.61
and quickly do
what they need to do
00:34:46.65\00:34:48.18
and they go out.
00:34:48.22\00:34:49.62
So you might get some
elevation in blood sugars,
00:34:49.65\00:34:51.85
but it comes right back down.
00:34:51.89\00:34:53.22
It's not something that keeps
your blood sugars elevated,
00:34:53.25\00:34:55.22
because there's no
fat in it to keep it,
00:34:55.26\00:34:58.29
to let your body hold on to it.
00:34:58.33\00:35:00.23
Oh, that's good. Yes.
00:35:00.26\00:35:01.60
Yeah, that's good. That's good.
00:35:01.63\00:35:02.96
Let's look at
another food. Come on now.
00:35:03.00\00:35:06.30
So people think that
00:35:06.33\00:35:07.67
they can't have
delicious dessert, right?
00:35:07.70\00:35:10.51
And so this one
actually is fresh,
00:35:10.54\00:35:13.21
organic strawberries,
fresh organic blueberries.
00:35:13.24\00:35:16.58
I have fresh mint
that I grew in the yard
00:35:16.61\00:35:19.31
and that is aquafaba
00:35:19.35\00:35:21.38
which is made
from the juice of a,
00:35:21.42\00:35:25.19
of garbanzo beans.
00:35:25.22\00:35:26.55
Oh. Yeah, yeah.
00:35:26.59\00:35:27.92
So what is that?
00:35:27.96\00:35:29.29
Is that a
whipped cream on the top?
00:35:29.32\00:35:30.76
That's, I made
into whipped cream.
00:35:30.79\00:35:33.46
And does it taste like it?
00:35:33.50\00:35:34.83
You make it taste like
00:35:34.86\00:35:36.20
whatever you
want it to taste like
00:35:36.23\00:35:37.57
so I made it taste
like whipped cream.
00:35:37.60\00:35:38.93
Oh, wow. Yes, yes.
00:35:38.97\00:35:40.84
And you have
recipes for all of these?
00:35:40.87\00:35:42.67
I do.
00:35:42.70\00:35:44.04
I'm in the
process of writing a book
00:35:44.07\00:35:45.67
called The Genesis Plan.
00:35:45.71\00:35:48.21
And that is just
a straight cookbook
00:35:48.24\00:35:50.71
with just recipes in it.
00:35:50.75\00:35:52.65
And it'll have all of
those different recipes
00:35:52.68\00:35:56.62
in there so that
you can enjoy them
00:35:56.65\00:36:00.12
in the comfort of your own home.
00:36:00.16\00:36:01.62
Oh, that's awesome.
00:36:01.66\00:36:02.99
That's awesome.
Let's look at another.
00:36:03.02\00:36:05.26
So I always
recommend salads, right?
00:36:05.29\00:36:07.50
You definitely want to have
something raw with your meals.
00:36:07.53\00:36:10.83
And this is actually
kind of what primes digestion
00:36:10.87\00:36:13.64
and so you, I want you to start.
00:36:13.67\00:36:15.47
There was a reason that
salads are the first course.
00:36:15.50\00:36:17.51
Right?
00:36:17.54\00:36:18.87
And so you eat the salad
00:36:18.91\00:36:20.24
because it primes the
system for digestion and allows,
00:36:20.28\00:36:23.75
and that's my citrus salad
00:36:23.78\00:36:25.15
there that just allows the
food to go through the pipes
00:36:25.18\00:36:30.55
the way it's
supposed to go through it.
00:36:30.59\00:36:32.15
Yes. Absolutely.
00:36:32.19\00:36:33.52
And let's face
it, so many people,
00:36:33.56\00:36:36.52
especially as you get older
have to deal with constipation.
00:36:36.56\00:36:40.73
Absolutely.
00:36:40.76\00:36:42.10
And these plant-based
foods help with that.
00:36:42.13\00:36:47.00
Absolutely. As
they come with fiber.
00:36:47.04\00:36:48.44
Okay, fiber.
They come with fiber.
00:36:48.47\00:36:50.71
It's just, it's a God,
it's a God given thing.
00:36:50.74\00:36:53.24
It's a God thing.
00:36:53.27\00:36:54.61
It is. It is.
00:36:54.64\00:36:55.98
It's a God thing.
00:36:56.01\00:36:57.35
Let's see if we have any more.
00:36:57.38\00:36:58.85
Oh, sure.
00:36:58.88\00:37:00.22
So this one,
00:37:00.25\00:37:01.58
this one's a stir fried cabbage.
00:37:01.62\00:37:04.29
Oh, I love it. It
has cabbage in it.
00:37:04.32\00:37:08.02
It has tomatoes,
peppers, fresh thyme.
00:37:08.06\00:37:10.96
And all of these
are fresh vegetables,
00:37:10.99\00:37:12.73
pineapple, fresh
basil, some cilantro.
00:37:12.76\00:37:16.97
And I saute that all together
and make it into this kind of,
00:37:17.00\00:37:22.34
you see carrots in there
too, and it is so easy to make,
00:37:22.37\00:37:26.14
it's quick and is
really, really delicious.
00:37:26.17\00:37:29.78
I mean, there's
so much flavor in it,
00:37:29.81\00:37:32.38
because, you know, I like.
00:37:32.41\00:37:34.15
You know, when I first
started eating plant based,
00:37:34.18\00:37:37.42
which was probably
25 or more years ago.
00:37:37.45\00:37:42.42
I'd go to a
restaurant and, you know,
00:37:42.46\00:37:43.93
just try to get some
food and they would serve you
00:37:43.96\00:37:46.33
like some iceberg lettuce.
00:37:46.36\00:37:49.20
That's the least
nutritious of all the lettuces.
00:37:49.23\00:37:50.60
Exactly, exactly.
00:37:50.63\00:37:52.73
And then some shredded carrots
and a couple of little pieces,
00:37:52.77\00:37:56.17
they would make sure that
they get tomatoes in there.
00:37:56.20\00:37:58.51
But it'd be like two pieces,
00:37:58.54\00:37:59.87
like one here
and one on that side.
00:37:59.91\00:38:01.71
I guess just to
balance the salad out.
00:38:01.74\00:38:03.98
Just a little color.
00:38:04.01\00:38:06.31
And then and then
they give you like
00:38:06.35\00:38:07.92
some ranch
dressing or something on it.
00:38:07.95\00:38:09.98
And I like to think
of is that, you know,
00:38:10.02\00:38:12.35
I want to eat
some food, you know?
00:38:12.39\00:38:14.42
And so while
salads are important,
00:38:14.46\00:38:17.09
I want some food with my salad.
00:38:17.13\00:38:18.46
Right.
00:38:18.49\00:38:19.83
And so, you know,
so I try to make salads
00:38:19.86\00:38:22.46
that are buildable
salads that are salads,
00:38:22.50\00:38:25.30
if I have, if I
have a dinner party
00:38:25.33\00:38:26.67
at our home pre COVID,
00:38:26.70\00:38:28.24
people would eat the
salad because I would make them
00:38:28.27\00:38:30.91
in such a way that you
would want to eat them.
00:38:30.94\00:38:32.81
They're beautiful.
00:38:32.84\00:38:34.24
And they were colorful,
00:38:34.28\00:38:36.81
they had all parts
of the rainbow in it
00:38:36.85\00:38:38.68
because I think God
does that on purpose.
00:38:38.71\00:38:40.92
Like He gives us
foods in different colors
00:38:40.95\00:38:43.69
because the different
colors do different things.
00:38:43.72\00:38:45.45
Exactly.
00:38:45.49\00:38:46.82
You know, so like
if I'm going to eat
00:38:46.86\00:38:48.19
some red and purple food,
00:38:48.22\00:38:49.56
it's going to help
my circulation, right?
00:38:49.59\00:38:52.13
If I'm going to eat
00:38:52.16\00:38:53.50
some white foods
like cabbage or something,
00:38:53.53\00:38:54.93
it helps my immune system.
00:38:54.96\00:38:56.53
You know if I
eat some orange foods
00:38:56.56\00:38:59.53
like the carrots and
cantaloupe and things like that,
00:38:59.57\00:39:03.64
then it's going to
be cancer fighting.
00:39:03.67\00:39:05.14
Yes. I just
think He's so amazing.
00:39:05.17\00:39:06.84
He's so amazing.
00:39:06.88\00:39:08.21
One tomato has over
10,000 phytonutrients.
00:39:08.24\00:39:11.51
There you go.
00:39:11.55\00:39:12.88
It's the most,
00:39:12.91\00:39:14.28
God has given us
everything we need
00:39:14.32\00:39:16.35
and it tastes good.
00:39:16.38\00:39:17.72
And it tastes good.
00:39:17.75\00:39:19.09
It tastes good, absolutely.
So that is so awesome.
00:39:19.12\00:39:21.32
You know all they've isolated
00:39:21.36\00:39:23.19
really is vitamin C
and lycopene from tomato,
00:39:23.22\00:39:25.79
but there's so many
more like you said, 10,000
00:39:25.83\00:39:28.56
there's so much
they don't even know
00:39:28.60\00:39:29.93
the names of them all.
00:39:29.96\00:39:31.30
So you can't like
just take lycopene,
00:39:31.33\00:39:34.17
like you just don't
take a pill for lycopene,
00:39:34.20\00:39:36.24
you have to eat the whole tomato
00:39:36.27\00:39:37.74
because the whole tomato
has all 10,000 of the things
00:39:37.77\00:39:40.68
that God said
00:39:40.71\00:39:42.04
this is what your
body needs to thrive
00:39:42.08\00:39:44.21
and to exist disease free
because He didn't, you know,
00:39:44.25\00:39:47.42
He didn't give us a
body to be full of disease.
00:39:47.45\00:39:50.39
He told us He wants us
to be in good health, right?
00:39:50.42\00:39:53.25
And that's being in good
health is without disease.
00:39:53.29\00:39:55.62
Without disease. Exactly.
00:39:55.66\00:39:57.16
Exactly.
00:39:57.19\00:39:58.53
So tell us about this book. Yes.
00:39:58.56\00:40:00.30
You know, what's in this book.
00:40:00.33\00:40:02.20
So that is called
Reverse It and you know,
00:40:02.23\00:40:04.90
I kind of had a little
play on the name you see it is
00:40:04.93\00:40:07.70
after the reverse it
because it's reverse.
00:40:07.74\00:40:10.54
Yeah, yeah.
00:40:10.57\00:40:13.54
So basically,
00:40:13.58\00:40:15.54
this book is kind of a blueprint
00:40:15.58\00:40:18.15
to reverse type 2 diabetes.
00:40:18.18\00:40:19.55
Now if you, I
always recommend though,
00:40:19.58\00:40:21.65
that you do this
with your doctor.
00:40:21.68\00:40:24.02
I don't want anybody
to just go in and do it
00:40:24.05\00:40:27.46
because the food
is so powerful that
00:40:27.49\00:40:29.29
if you're on
different medications,
00:40:29.32\00:40:30.96
your blood
pressure may drop too low,
00:40:30.99\00:40:32.93
or your blood
sugars may drop too low.
00:40:32.96\00:40:34.70
So you really need to have
it supervised by a physician.
00:40:34.73\00:40:37.07
I'm glad you said it
00:40:37.10\00:40:38.43
'cause I was
gonna say to, you know,
00:40:38.47\00:40:39.87
don't embark upon
anything until you've talked
00:40:39.90\00:40:41.94
to your physician
00:40:41.97\00:40:43.30
because your physician knows you
00:40:43.34\00:40:45.04
and your particular situation.
00:40:45.07\00:40:46.54
Exactly.
00:40:46.57\00:40:47.91
So, but the fact that
00:40:47.94\00:40:49.28
it can be
reversed is so encouraging,
00:40:49.31\00:40:53.42
because so many people think,
00:40:53.45\00:40:54.82
"Oh, I'm just
stuck here with this,
00:40:54.85\00:40:56.89
and I'll never get better."
00:40:56.92\00:40:58.62
So go ahead, tell
us, tell us, it's good.
00:40:58.65\00:41:00.06
And I just want to
just say this one thing,
00:41:00.09\00:41:01.96
if I had known what I know now,
00:41:01.99\00:41:04.33
when my mother was alive,
00:41:04.36\00:41:06.19
and my father was alive, I
would still have them both.
00:41:06.23\00:41:10.73
So it is so
important to make sure that
00:41:10.77\00:41:15.10
you're putting
in the right things.
00:41:15.14\00:41:16.67
So you know, I
always say, it's like,
00:41:16.71\00:41:18.44
if I'm driving a Mercedes,
00:41:18.47\00:41:20.44
I'm not going to
go to the Ford dealer
00:41:20.48\00:41:22.08
and ask them,
"How do I fix my car?"
00:41:22.11\00:41:26.21
Right. Right?
00:41:26.25\00:41:27.58
I'm not going to
go to the gas station
00:41:27.62\00:41:29.18
and get regular test.
00:41:29.22\00:41:30.65
I'm not going to do that.
00:41:30.69\00:41:32.02
I'm going to go
00:41:32.05\00:41:33.39
and I'm going to
get high test fuel,
00:41:33.42\00:41:34.76
and I'm gonna go to
the Mercedes dealer,
00:41:34.79\00:41:36.46
because the
Mercedes dealer knows my car.
00:41:36.49\00:41:38.83
Right. And he built my car.
00:41:38.86\00:41:40.70
So he knows
what's best for my car.
00:41:40.73\00:41:42.73
Come on.
00:41:42.76\00:41:44.10
So I have to go to God
who built us and created us
00:41:44.13\00:41:47.97
to find out what is it that
00:41:48.00\00:41:49.47
I'm supposed to put in
this temple that I have.
00:41:49.50\00:41:51.51
Yes.
00:41:51.54\00:41:52.87
And because I know that
00:41:52.91\00:41:54.24
what He gives me is
going to be the stuff
00:41:54.28\00:41:55.61
that's going to make it thrive.
00:41:55.64\00:41:56.98
It's going to make it healthy,
00:41:57.01\00:41:58.35
that's going to allow
it to live disease free.
00:41:58.38\00:42:00.68
Yes. Yes, absolutely.
00:42:00.72\00:42:02.52
That's so good. Yes.
00:42:02.55\00:42:04.05
So that's what you have in here.
00:42:04.09\00:42:05.82
It's a step by step...
00:42:05.85\00:42:07.32
Step by step blueprint
00:42:07.36\00:42:09.16
to help reverse type 2 diabetes.
00:42:09.19\00:42:11.29
It talks about detoxification,
00:42:11.33\00:42:12.83
which actually
really jumpstarts you
00:42:12.86\00:42:15.63
into this whole process
of reversing type 2 diabetes.
00:42:15.66\00:42:18.90
There are some
studies that show that
00:42:18.93\00:42:20.47
diabetes can reverse
and reverse in 22 weeks,
00:42:20.50\00:42:23.91
according to Neil Barnard,
00:42:23.94\00:42:25.27
who is the founder of PCRM,
00:42:25.31\00:42:28.81
which is the
Physicians Committee
00:42:28.84\00:42:30.31
for Responsible Medicine.
00:42:30.35\00:42:31.81
But I've been able through
00:42:31.85\00:42:33.18
detoxification
actually shorten that
00:42:33.21\00:42:35.25
to about 12 weeks.
00:42:35.28\00:42:36.65
So it's really, it's
really powerful to be
00:42:36.69\00:42:40.52
able to do that.
00:42:40.56\00:42:41.89
Praise the Lord. Yes.
00:42:41.92\00:42:43.26
Now, what about
this? This is a workbook?
00:42:43.29\00:42:45.73
Okay. Tell us about this? Yes.
00:42:45.76\00:42:47.10
So that is the
workbook that goes along
00:42:47.13\00:42:48.80
with reversing type 2 diabetes.
00:42:48.83\00:42:51.43
And what it
does is it allows you
00:42:51.47\00:42:52.83
to chart your numbers.
00:42:52.87\00:42:54.30
So you can write down
what your hemoglobin A1C
00:42:54.34\00:42:56.71
is when you started.
00:42:56.74\00:42:58.07
You can chart
00:42:58.11\00:42:59.44
what your blood
pressure is doing.
00:42:59.47\00:43:00.81
And you can actually watch
00:43:00.84\00:43:02.18
and see your
blood pressure go down.
00:43:02.21\00:43:04.05
And then you can
even watch if you cheat
00:43:04.08\00:43:06.48
what happened
with those parameters.
00:43:06.51\00:43:08.88
Right.
00:43:08.92\00:43:10.25
When you put the
wrong things in your body,
00:43:10.29\00:43:11.65
and I'd like to use it
as kind of reinforcement.
00:43:11.69\00:43:14.22
Yeah.
00:43:14.26\00:43:15.59
So that you know
what your body likes
00:43:15.62\00:43:16.96
and what it doesn't like.
00:43:16.99\00:43:18.33
So I love.
00:43:18.36\00:43:19.69
I love that, for it to
help reverse type 2 diabetes.
00:43:19.73\00:43:24.40
Yes, yes.
00:43:24.43\00:43:26.13
You've got all kinds
of information in here.
00:43:26.17\00:43:29.10
Yes.
00:43:29.14\00:43:30.47
And what's good is that
00:43:30.51\00:43:32.01
you can chronicle your progress.
00:43:32.04\00:43:34.68
So even if you make a
mistake, and you're, you know,
00:43:34.71\00:43:37.65
and you kind of go
back up your numbers,
00:43:37.68\00:43:39.38
your numbers will show.
00:43:39.41\00:43:41.08
Your numbers will
show. And get back on track.
00:43:41.12\00:43:42.98
That's right. That's all it is.
00:43:43.02\00:43:44.52
You get back on
the proverbial horse.
00:43:44.55\00:43:46.19
Yes, yes. So
these two go together?
00:43:46.22\00:43:49.02
Yes.
00:43:49.06\00:43:50.39
And we're going to
tell you in a few minutes,
00:43:50.43\00:43:52.36
how you can get these books,
00:43:52.39\00:43:55.10
how you can order them
00:43:55.13\00:43:56.46
and also how you can reach them.
00:43:56.50\00:43:59.07
Dr. Stoddart,
00:43:59.10\00:44:00.44
because this is
just so important.
00:44:00.47\00:44:02.17
There's so many
people who are suffering.
00:44:02.20\00:44:04.11
Absolutely.
00:44:04.14\00:44:05.47
And they just don't
know what can be done.
00:44:05.51\00:44:07.84
And they're
popping pills, you know,
00:44:07.88\00:44:10.21
and trying to manage
it without realizing that
00:44:10.25\00:44:13.31
it can be reversed.
00:44:13.35\00:44:14.98
Absolutely.
00:44:15.02\00:44:16.35
If you would, Dr. Helen,
00:44:16.38\00:44:17.72
look into this camera
and talk to that person
00:44:17.75\00:44:21.16
who is suffering with diabetes
00:44:21.19\00:44:23.66
and just give them
some hope in the Lord
00:44:23.69\00:44:26.70
and let them know that they can.
00:44:26.73\00:44:28.96
The situation can be changed.
00:44:29.00\00:44:30.47
Absolutely, absolutely.
00:44:30.50\00:44:32.97
So I want you to
know, child of God,
00:44:33.00\00:44:36.40
that God has
already made a plan for you.
00:44:36.44\00:44:40.68
He knew that you
would have this situation
00:44:40.71\00:44:43.35
before it even happened.
00:44:43.38\00:44:45.01
And He's already gone
and made a way of escape.
00:44:45.05\00:44:48.95
If I were to do sign language,
00:44:48.98\00:44:50.32
I would say you
had a way to escape,
00:44:50.35\00:44:52.75
and that is
through the diet that
00:44:52.79\00:44:55.62
He's already prepared for you.
00:44:55.66\00:44:57.16
So type 2 diabetes is
absolutely reversible.
00:44:57.19\00:45:01.13
You don't have to live
with a chronic disease,
00:45:01.16\00:45:03.73
there is a way out
and there is help for you,
00:45:03.77\00:45:08.24
because God's already done it.
00:45:08.27\00:45:10.51
That's beautiful.
That is so beautiful.
00:45:10.54\00:45:12.47
Thank you.
00:45:12.51\00:45:14.18
How does your diet plan
affect the entire body like
00:45:14.21\00:45:19.91
you don't even have to know
00:45:19.95\00:45:22.15
be insulin
resistant to go on this,
00:45:22.18\00:45:26.22
this diet plan because, in fact,
00:45:26.25\00:45:28.29
you can avoid it,
00:45:28.32\00:45:29.66
you can avoid
insulin resistance.
00:45:29.69\00:45:31.03
Absolutely. Tell us about that?
00:45:31.06\00:45:32.49
I got to tell you a little bit.
00:45:32.53\00:45:34.90
You know, I'm full of stories.
00:45:34.93\00:45:36.26
We love stories. We love them.
00:45:36.30\00:45:37.63
All through the
years in my life,
00:45:37.67\00:45:39.00
I got some stories.
00:45:39.03\00:45:40.64
But one of the things
is that people talk about,
00:45:40.67\00:45:46.61
I can't help it.
00:45:46.64\00:45:49.44
My genes tell me that
I'm going to have diabetes
00:45:49.48\00:45:52.18
or high blood
pressure, or whatever.
00:45:52.21\00:45:54.75
But I have to say that
00:45:54.78\00:45:56.28
I have the worst
genes in the world.
00:45:56.32\00:45:59.59
Okay?
00:45:59.62\00:46:00.96
So my mom had type 2 diabetes,
high blood pressure diet,
00:46:00.99\00:46:05.53
high blood
pressure, high cholesterol,
00:46:05.56\00:46:06.90
kidney disease, my
father had prostate cancer,
00:46:06.93\00:46:09.50
metastatic prostate cancer,
00:46:09.53\00:46:10.90
diabetes, high blood pressure,
00:46:10.93\00:46:12.63
my mother's siblings,
there were 12 of them.
00:46:12.67\00:46:16.67
Most of them died
from type 2 diabetes,
00:46:16.71\00:46:18.97
or heart disease, or both.
00:46:19.01\00:46:21.44
One of my aunts
had an amputation
00:46:21.48\00:46:25.35
from type 2 diabetes,
and I was worried that
00:46:25.38\00:46:27.38
she was going to
have it on the other side,
00:46:27.42\00:46:28.98
because 50% of diabetics
00:46:29.02\00:46:30.45
that have an
amputation on one side,
00:46:30.49\00:46:32.39
are likely going to
have it on the other side.
00:46:32.42\00:46:34.52
But she died of heart disease
00:46:34.56\00:46:36.09
before she got
the other amputation.
00:46:36.12\00:46:38.59
So I totally know
00:46:38.63\00:46:40.40
what it means to have bad genes.
00:46:40.43\00:46:43.23
But genes only
kind of suggest for you,
00:46:43.26\00:46:46.63
hey, I'm going to suggest that
00:46:46.67\00:46:48.17
because of your genes,
00:46:48.20\00:46:49.54
I think you
should have diabetes,
00:46:49.57\00:46:50.97
but you can suggest to it,
00:46:51.01\00:46:52.84
no, I'm not
going to have diabetes,
00:46:52.87\00:46:55.01
I'm going to change
00:46:55.04\00:46:56.38
what I'm doing so that I don't,
00:46:56.41\00:46:57.75
so they, I like to say that it
00:46:57.78\00:46:59.98
that genes kind of
determine your propensity,
00:47:00.02\00:47:03.69
but your actions
pull the trigger.
00:47:03.72\00:47:05.89
Oh, nice. Absolutely.
00:47:05.92\00:47:08.52
So from that I, you
know, and people talk about
00:47:08.56\00:47:11.66
all different kinds
of diets, you know, Paleo
00:47:11.69\00:47:14.03
and, you know, Atkins and,
you know, all kinds of stuff.
00:47:14.06\00:47:17.30
But I have to answer
that by saying, you know,
00:47:17.33\00:47:20.37
again, Mercedes
dealer, Ford dealer,
00:47:20.40\00:47:23.07
where are you going to
go to get your answers from.
00:47:23.10\00:47:25.77
And I just love the fact that
00:47:25.81\00:47:28.64
because God is a God of promise,
00:47:28.68\00:47:31.51
and a God who,
00:47:31.55\00:47:33.82
who knows what we need
00:47:33.85\00:47:35.92
has already made this way.
00:47:35.95\00:47:37.65
He's already told us what
to eat, and how to eat it.
00:47:37.69\00:47:40.56
So I don't even go with Paleo.
00:47:40.59\00:47:42.12
I don't say, yes,
let's do Paleo diet,
00:47:42.16\00:47:44.09
because that's the...
it's not the original diet.
00:47:44.13\00:47:45.73
Right.
00:47:45.76\00:47:47.10
You know, people think that
00:47:47.13\00:47:48.46
the Paleo diet is like
the original thing to do,
00:47:48.50\00:47:51.23
but it's not.
00:47:51.27\00:47:52.60
The Paleo diet is Cain's diet.
00:47:52.63\00:47:56.50
I want to talk to you
00:47:56.54\00:47:57.87
about Paleo and Keto
and that kind of thing?
00:47:57.91\00:47:59.47
Yeah, yeah.
00:47:59.51\00:48:00.84
So we're talking about
00:48:00.88\00:48:03.38
what the original diet
is versus the sin diet.
00:48:03.41\00:48:08.62
So before sin came,
00:48:08.65\00:48:11.29
He gave us the
trees and that, da-da-da.
00:48:11.32\00:48:14.16
And then, when
Cain had to escape,
00:48:14.19\00:48:18.83
and go and be
00:48:18.86\00:48:20.30
a restless
wanderer in the world,
00:48:20.33\00:48:22.96
he had to become a hunter
and gatherer to get his food.
00:48:23.00\00:48:26.94
And so that's where
the Paleo came from.
00:48:26.97\00:48:29.30
It's not the original diet.
00:48:29.34\00:48:30.67
And so, that's when you were...
00:48:30.71\00:48:32.11
When he started eating
things that he could just find,
00:48:32.14\00:48:35.71
you know, along the way,
00:48:35.74\00:48:37.08
so he killed his
brother, he killed an animal.
00:48:37.11\00:48:39.21
I mean, you know, so it didn't,
it was not a big deal for him.
00:48:39.25\00:48:42.28
Yeah. It wasn't a big stretch.
00:48:42.32\00:48:44.35
I've already killed my brother.
00:48:44.39\00:48:46.29
I can certainly
kill this, you know,
00:48:46.32\00:48:48.12
whatever that thing is to eat.
00:48:48.16\00:48:51.16
Yeah, so.
00:48:51.19\00:48:52.53
So the diets, you know,
00:48:52.56\00:48:56.43
people talk about Paleo
and they talk about the Keto
00:48:56.46\00:49:00.80
and all those kinds of things
00:49:00.84\00:49:02.17
based on their
desire to lose weight.
00:49:02.20\00:49:05.37
And you will lose weight
00:49:05.41\00:49:07.28
on any
macronutrient deficient area.
00:49:07.31\00:49:13.31
Okay.
00:49:13.35\00:49:14.68
Meaning, if I hold back
fat, I will lose weight.
00:49:14.72\00:49:17.29
If I hold back
sugar, I will lose weight.
00:49:17.32\00:49:19.05
If I hold back protein
which you don't want to do,
00:49:19.09\00:49:21.46
I can, I will lose weight.
00:49:21.49\00:49:22.89
But whether that leads
to a healthier lifestyle
00:49:22.92\00:49:28.13
is the question
because I can lose weight
00:49:28.16\00:49:30.57
any way I want.
00:49:30.60\00:49:32.17
But what is my
result at the end, right?
00:49:32.20\00:49:36.27
Because we talked about before,
00:49:36.30\00:49:37.64
we talked about those cells
00:49:37.67\00:49:39.01
with all that
fat inside the cells.
00:49:39.04\00:49:40.48
So if I'm putting
so much fat in my body,
00:49:40.51\00:49:43.45
eventually I'm going to top it,
00:49:43.48\00:49:45.31
I'm going to get to the
top of what I will metabolize.
00:49:45.35\00:49:48.72
Initially, it does rev you
up and then it slows you down.
00:49:48.75\00:49:51.65
So I don't subscribe
00:49:51.69\00:49:53.86
to those particular
types of food programs.
00:49:53.89\00:49:58.09
And that's so
important to know that
00:49:58.13\00:50:00.03
you take it back
to the original diet.
00:50:00.06\00:50:03.53
You're not talking about the...
00:50:03.57\00:50:05.30
And there are
people who do these diets
00:50:05.33\00:50:09.07
for some length of time,
00:50:09.10\00:50:10.81
but it's hard to sustain that,
00:50:10.84\00:50:13.04
it's hard to sustain not eating,
00:50:13.07\00:50:15.91
you know, some of the stuff
00:50:15.94\00:50:17.48
you really want
to eat like bread.
00:50:17.51\00:50:19.55
Now they have these Keto
00:50:19.58\00:50:21.58
because I've done the Keto thing
00:50:21.62\00:50:22.95
and they have, you know...
00:50:22.98\00:50:26.45
Well, the way
it's promoted. Yes.
00:50:26.49\00:50:30.36
If you eat like that,
like all that bacon...
00:50:30.39\00:50:32.83
Yeah, yeah.
00:50:32.86\00:50:34.20
I mean, that's so against
00:50:34.23\00:50:36.46
what God has said not
to eat the fat of animals.
00:50:36.50\00:50:39.73
Yes. So we just have to...
00:50:39.77\00:50:41.54
It's a good
point. Very good point.
00:50:41.57\00:50:43.84
It's very the fat in
the blood. Absolutely.
00:50:43.87\00:50:46.34
So we know we're not to do that.
00:50:46.37\00:50:48.68
But you know,
you can eat avocados
00:50:48.71\00:50:50.71
and you can, you know...
00:50:50.75\00:50:52.08
There are some good
fats. Which is good fat.
00:50:52.11\00:50:53.58
Yeah, yeah.
00:50:53.62\00:50:54.95
So that we know,
00:50:54.98\00:50:56.95
you can do but this is important
00:50:56.99\00:50:59.59
because we're looking
at God's original plan.
00:50:59.62\00:51:03.16
And I know that our
viewers are going to
00:51:03.19\00:51:05.53
want to get in touch with you,
00:51:05.56\00:51:07.30

amazing, amazing information.

phone number,
they're going to find out
00:51:15.07\00:51:17.07
just how they can reach you
00:51:17.11\00:51:18.64
and you do telemedicine as well.
00:51:18.67\00:51:20.08
We do telemedicine, absolutely.
00:51:20.11\00:51:21.44
So people can call in
and... Yes, yes, indeed.
00:51:21.48\00:51:24.45
And what do they, like
what happens, they get...
00:51:24.48\00:51:26.98
So you can call in
to my front office staff
00:51:27.02\00:51:29.65
and let them know that
00:51:29.68\00:51:31.02
you're interested in
having a consult with me
00:51:31.05\00:51:34.26
and I will meet with
you via telemedicine,
00:51:34.29\00:51:38.79
you just have to
have computer access.
00:51:38.83\00:51:41.40
And so we can see
each other face to face.
00:51:41.43\00:51:44.47
I would like to make sure that
00:51:44.50\00:51:45.93
you have a doctor on board
00:51:45.97\00:51:48.04
so that we can go through this.
00:51:48.07\00:51:49.40
Your doctor is going to be happy
00:51:49.44\00:51:50.81
that you're trying to
do something different.
00:51:50.84\00:51:52.17
Right.
00:51:52.21\00:51:53.54
As long as you
consult with the doctor.
00:51:53.58\00:51:54.91
Yeah. Just
consult with a doctor too.
00:51:54.94\00:51:56.54
