Hello, and
welcome to another 3ABN
00:01:10.53\00:01:13.17
Today Cooking program.
00:01:13.20\00:01:14.64
My name is Jason Bradley.
00:01:14.67\00:01:16.10
And here with me today
is Dr. Dona Cooper-Dockery.
00:01:16.14\00:01:20.78
And she is the founder
of Cooper Wellness Center.
00:01:20.81\00:01:23.75
And I'm excited to
spend time with you today
00:01:23.78\00:01:26.65
and try these delicious dishes
00:01:26.68\00:01:28.82
that you're
going to be preparing.
00:01:28.85\00:01:30.55
Tell us a little bit
about you and your background?
00:01:30.59\00:01:33.46
Well, thank you so
much for having me.
00:01:33.49\00:01:35.06
It's a really
pleasure being here on 3ABN.
00:01:35.09\00:01:38.09
So obviously, I'm a doctor.
00:01:38.13\00:01:40.10
What kind of doctor?
00:01:40.13\00:01:41.46
Board certified
in internal medicine.
00:01:41.50\00:01:42.96
Nice.
00:01:43.00\00:01:44.33
And I have been practicing
for about 27 years or so.
00:01:44.37\00:01:46.94
Okay.
00:01:46.97\00:01:48.30
I'm from way down South Texas,
00:01:48.34\00:01:50.71
Rio Grande Valley.
00:01:50.74\00:01:52.07
Wow! Okay. I used
to live in Texas...
00:01:52.11\00:01:55.01
Oh, really? But I was in Dallas.
00:01:55.04\00:01:56.64
Ah! That's about
eight hours from Moran.
00:01:56.68\00:01:58.61
Wow! Yeah,
Texas is a huge state.
00:01:58.65\00:02:01.12
Huge state.
00:02:01.15\00:02:02.48
So tell me a little bit
about Cooper Wellness Center.
00:02:02.52\00:02:05.75
What takes place there?
00:02:05.79\00:02:07.12
Alrighty.
00:02:07.16\00:02:08.49
So, of course, I
have been practicing
00:02:08.52\00:02:10.03
in Rio Grande
Valley for 21 years.
00:02:10.06\00:02:12.49
But in 2011,
00:02:12.53\00:02:14.36
my area was the
fattest in the United States,
00:02:14.40\00:02:17.87
the fattest and the sickest.
00:02:17.90\00:02:19.50
Really?
00:02:19.53\00:02:20.87
As a result of that
comes, diabetes, hypertension,
00:02:20.90\00:02:24.04
and heart disease.
00:02:24.07\00:02:25.57
I was somewhat
tired of practicing
00:02:25.61\00:02:27.94
the same old way medication,
medication, medication.
00:02:27.98\00:02:32.51
So I decided then to
open a wellness center
00:02:32.55\00:02:36.89
where I would educate patients
00:02:36.92\00:02:39.42
on how to use the
healthier lifestyle
00:02:39.45\00:02:42.72
to change your disease
process to reverse and prevent,
00:02:42.76\00:02:46.43
and even cure
their disease process.
00:02:46.46\00:02:49.16
That is how the center was born.
00:02:49.20\00:02:52.97
Wow!
00:02:53.00\00:02:54.94
So basically,
kind of where you can,
00:02:54.97\00:02:58.37
eliminate the medication...
00:02:58.41\00:03:00.31
That is right.
00:03:00.34\00:03:01.68
And attack the cause.
00:03:01.71\00:03:03.04
That's right.
00:03:03.08\00:03:04.41
And the cure is in food...
00:03:04.45\00:03:05.78
The cure is food.
00:03:05.81\00:03:07.15
A lot of times.
00:03:07.18\00:03:08.52
And I have a lot of
patients who we have,
00:03:08.55\00:03:09.92
you've seen at
the wellness center,
00:03:09.95\00:03:11.95
they have learned
how to eat differently,
00:03:11.99\00:03:14.76
how to use food as medicine,
00:03:14.79\00:03:16.73
how to take a holistic
approach to their health.
00:03:16.76\00:03:19.56
So food, exercise,
meditation, divine intervention.
00:03:19.59\00:03:23.23
Now when you say meditation,
00:03:23.26\00:03:24.63
what kind of
idiom you're speaking
00:03:24.67\00:03:26.37
of meditating on the Word.
00:03:26.40\00:03:27.80
On the Word of the Lord, prayer.
00:03:27.84\00:03:30.14
Actually, we have
Bible study groups
00:03:30.17\00:03:32.71
at our wellness center.
00:03:32.74\00:03:34.08
Okay.
00:03:34.11\00:03:35.44
And we've seen
significant changes.
00:03:35.48\00:03:36.81
Yeah, we just want to
clarify, meditating on the Word.
00:03:36.85\00:03:40.05
That's right. There you go.
00:03:40.08\00:03:41.42
Got you. Yes, yes.
00:03:41.45\00:03:42.78
So you also have a 12-week...
00:03:42.82\00:03:44.92
Two wellness
programs. Two wellness programs.
00:03:44.95\00:03:47.39
What's involved in that?
00:03:47.42\00:03:48.76
Alrighty, so my center,
00:03:48.79\00:03:50.53
I have a
classroom for education,
00:03:50.56\00:03:53.70
I have a kitchen
00:03:53.73\00:03:55.06
to teach the
patients how to cook,
00:03:55.10\00:03:56.43
I have an exercise, a gym.
00:03:56.46\00:03:58.10
Okay.
00:03:58.13\00:03:59.47
So the patients
will come once a week
00:03:59.50\00:04:01.00
for the educational classes,
00:04:01.04\00:04:02.60
we talk about
food, what food to eat.
00:04:02.64\00:04:04.97
We talk about the
eight laws of health, right?
00:04:05.01\00:04:07.31
Okay.
00:04:07.34\00:04:08.68
They would come back a
second day for exercise.
00:04:08.71\00:04:11.45
They would have the
cooking demonstration.
00:04:11.48\00:04:14.32
And so forth, they'll be taught,
00:04:14.35\00:04:16.69
you know, how to
use food as medicine,
00:04:16.72\00:04:19.62
what foods are the best food,
00:04:19.65\00:04:22.16
and then we teach them
how to change lifestyle.
00:04:22.19\00:04:24.76
And I've had patients
for example, gentleman,
00:04:24.79\00:04:27.03
who was weighing 400 pounds,
00:04:27.06\00:04:28.86
diabetic, high blood
pressure, high cholesterol.
00:04:28.90\00:04:32.53
He came in,
00:04:32.57\00:04:34.04
he learned how to use a
holistic approach to health.
00:04:34.07\00:04:36.44
Okay.
00:04:36.47\00:04:37.81
He got off his
diabetes medication,
00:04:37.84\00:04:39.74
lowered his blood pressure.
00:04:39.77\00:04:41.31
I mean, amazing.
00:04:41.34\00:04:42.68
We have so much
health miracles there
00:04:42.71\00:04:45.51
that I am just loving
medicine now than before.
00:04:45.55\00:04:49.68
See, I like that
00:04:49.72\00:04:51.05
because you're not
just masking the symptoms.
00:04:51.09\00:04:53.99
No. You're treating...
00:04:54.02\00:04:55.62
The root cause. And
attacking the root cause.
00:04:55.66\00:04:57.23
That's right. That's
right. Absolutely. Absolutely.
00:04:57.26\00:04:59.79
You know, let's
jump into these recipes.
00:04:59.83\00:05:01.56
What are you going
to be making today?
00:05:01.60\00:05:03.30
Well, this one is
a cashew nut loaf.
00:05:03.33\00:05:06.37
Okay.
00:05:06.40\00:05:07.74
Many patients,
00:05:07.77\00:05:09.10
when they're told
to get off the meat,
00:05:09.14\00:05:10.57
they think, "Well, what am
I going to substitute it with?
00:05:10.61\00:05:12.91
Where am I going
to get my protein?"
00:05:12.94\00:05:14.64
This is a protein dish.
00:05:14.68\00:05:16.01
Okay. So a cashew
nut loaf. Nut loaf.
00:05:16.04\00:05:19.71
Okay. What else can
we expect for today?
00:05:19.75\00:05:22.35
Oh! There's so many things.
00:05:22.38\00:05:23.99
We're going to be
doing roasted vegetable,
00:05:24.02\00:05:27.29
that's a one pot meal.
00:05:27.32\00:05:28.79
Okay.
00:05:28.82\00:05:30.16
I'm going to be doing a
gravy to go with this loaf.
00:05:30.19\00:05:32.13
Okay.
00:05:32.16\00:05:33.50
I'm going to be
cooking brown rice,
00:05:33.53\00:05:34.86
basmati brown rice.
00:05:34.90\00:05:36.23
Okay.
00:05:36.26\00:05:37.60
So you're in for a
surprise in a treat.
00:05:37.63\00:05:38.97
Oh, yeah. And I
want to taste everything.
00:05:39.00\00:05:41.24
There you go. So I'm
looking forward to it.
00:05:41.27\00:05:43.51
Now, what are the ingredients...
00:05:43.54\00:05:46.04
In this one? With that loaf?
00:05:46.07\00:05:47.41
All right, so we
have our cashew nut.
00:05:47.44\00:05:49.98
This is our main protein source.
00:05:50.01\00:05:52.48
Then I have my brown
rice. I have my soymilk.
00:05:52.51\00:05:57.19
I have binder
with the bread. Okay.
00:05:57.22\00:05:59.25
And then I have
various spices. Okay.
00:05:59.29\00:06:01.36
Very, very simple recipe.
00:06:01.39\00:06:03.29
Let's read the recipe.
00:06:03.32\00:06:04.66
All right, there we go...
00:06:04.69\00:06:06.03
Okay. Some salt.
00:06:40.30\00:06:41.63
Well, sounds good
too. I love onions.
00:06:41.66\00:06:43.90
I was telling you
before, I love onions.
00:06:43.93\00:06:46.10
I'm excited with that recipe.
00:06:46.13\00:06:47.47
Onions are great,
not only for the flavor
00:06:47.50\00:06:49.67
but it's an
anti-inflammatory food.
00:06:49.70\00:06:52.27
Okay.
00:06:52.31\00:06:53.64
So it fights inflammation,
00:06:53.68\00:06:55.41
and even it can help to
suppress cancer cell growth.
00:06:55.44\00:06:59.65
So I use onion in
a lot of my recipes.
00:06:59.68\00:07:01.32
Wow!
00:07:01.35\00:07:02.68
All right, so we're
going to start right now then
00:07:02.72\00:07:05.29
with my cashew...
00:07:05.32\00:07:06.82
Which we're going to blend that.
00:07:06.86\00:07:08.19
And if you want
you can presoak that.
00:07:10.99\00:07:13.90
Okay. I'm going to add my milk.
00:07:13.93\00:07:17.10
All of the
two-cup unsweetened milk.
00:07:17.13\00:07:19.57
Right.
00:07:19.60\00:07:21.67
Then I'm going
to partially blend.
00:07:21.70\00:07:24.34
And so let's put
it up here. Okay.
00:07:24.37\00:07:26.21
And we're going to
partially blend this one.
00:07:26.24\00:07:28.44
Make sure...
00:07:28.48\00:07:29.81
Make sure I
cover this all the way.
00:07:29.84\00:07:31.18
All right. So you're
going to do the work just...
00:07:31.21\00:07:35.42
That's good 'cause
this is very powerful.
00:07:35.45\00:07:36.79
That's good? Yeah, that's good.
00:07:36.82\00:07:38.79
You don't want to
have it too softly blend.
00:07:38.82\00:07:40.96
Got you.
00:07:40.99\00:07:42.32
Then we're
going to add our rice,
00:07:42.36\00:07:43.69
maybe we can lower
this time at the rice.
00:07:43.73\00:07:46.39
This is already cooked
00:07:46.43\00:07:47.76
and this is cooked
brown basmati rice.
00:07:47.80\00:07:49.50
Okay.
00:07:49.53\00:07:50.87
One cup of rice has
about five grams of protein.
00:07:50.90\00:07:54.27
So this is adding
protein to the dish as well.
00:07:54.30\00:07:56.64
Wow! It's also
good for fiber too.
00:07:56.67\00:07:58.24
Absolutely.
00:07:58.27\00:07:59.61
And if they are diabetic,
00:07:59.64\00:08:01.18
the fiber is great to
lower the blood sugar.
00:08:01.21\00:08:03.48
Okay. All right?
00:08:03.51\00:08:04.85
Fiber also lower
your cholesterol,
00:08:04.88\00:08:06.72
so fiber is wonderful.
00:08:06.75\00:08:08.68
Then we're going to add
this. This is just for binding.
00:08:08.72\00:08:13.99
Got you. So we can use this.
00:08:14.02\00:08:15.52
We're going to blend this out.
00:08:15.56\00:08:17.06
Okay.
00:08:17.09\00:08:18.43
Alrighty.
00:08:18.46\00:08:20.30
Then we're going
to add in our onions.
00:08:20.33\00:08:23.87
Okay.
00:08:23.90\00:08:25.27
All right, let's see.
00:08:25.30\00:08:27.24
Let's add our onions in.
00:08:27.27\00:08:28.77
Then we're going to
kind of partially blend this
00:08:28.80\00:08:31.44
to get it going
all the way down here.
00:08:31.47\00:08:34.84
Let us see what you
can do for me, Jason.
00:08:34.88\00:08:36.85
Partially blend that,
00:08:36.88\00:08:38.21
and then I'm gonna add the rest.
00:08:38.25\00:08:39.58
All right. Okay.
00:08:39.61\00:08:40.95
Tell me when.
00:08:44.39\00:08:45.72
Go ahead. Okay, I see you.
00:08:45.75\00:08:47.16
Okay, let's
stop. It's kind of...
00:08:51.13\00:08:53.19
Put just down, we
have to get this going.
00:08:53.23\00:08:55.16
All right. Sometimes...
00:08:58.17\00:08:59.50
Every now and then, it
gets a little stuck in there.
00:08:59.53\00:09:00.87
It's a little
stuck in here, right.
00:09:00.90\00:09:02.24
So we're just gonna see
how we can get this going.
00:09:02.27\00:09:04.74
Let's try that
again, Jason. All right.
00:09:04.77\00:09:06.27
These blenders
are usually great.
00:09:16.72\00:09:18.32
Yeah.
00:09:18.35\00:09:19.69
See how we get this going.
00:09:19.72\00:09:21.16
It should be going anytime soon.
00:09:21.19\00:09:23.46
All right. All right.
00:09:23.49\00:09:24.83
Let's try this
one more time, Jason.
00:09:24.86\00:09:26.23
All right.
00:09:26.26\00:09:27.76
That's good. That's good.
00:09:32.73\00:09:34.07
I'm going to add
the rest of ingredients.
00:09:34.10\00:09:35.44
Okay.
00:09:35.47\00:09:36.81
This is my celery
that is chopped already.
00:09:36.84\00:09:38.77
All right.
00:09:38.81\00:09:40.21
All right.
00:09:40.24\00:09:42.68
And then I'm
going to add my herbs.
00:09:42.71\00:09:46.25
So this is our
soy sauce or Braggs.
00:09:46.28\00:09:48.98
Or Braggs.
00:09:49.02\00:09:50.59
Okay.
00:09:50.62\00:09:52.05
And these are just the herbs.
00:09:52.09\00:09:53.69
This is the parsley.
00:09:53.72\00:09:55.06
Parsley.
00:09:55.09\00:09:56.56
Two tablespoon of parsley.
00:09:56.59\00:09:58.46
All right. This is my thyme.
00:09:58.49\00:10:00.60
Two teaspoons of thyme.
00:10:00.63\00:10:02.46
That's just for flavor.
00:10:02.50\00:10:03.93
All right. Alrighty.
00:10:03.97\00:10:05.53
My sage.
00:10:05.57\00:10:06.90
Sage is great
because this is a good dish
00:10:06.94\00:10:08.80
for Thanksgiving.
00:10:08.84\00:10:10.17
It gives you that
feel of Thanksgiving.
00:10:10.21\00:10:11.54
All right.
00:10:11.57\00:10:12.91
You know, that's one of
my favorite holiday too...
00:10:12.94\00:10:14.74
That's right.
00:10:14.78\00:10:16.21
Primarily for the food.
00:10:16.24\00:10:18.58
This is my celery seeds.
00:10:18.61\00:10:20.98
And then I'm gonna add my salt.
00:10:21.02\00:10:22.98
Alrighty.
00:10:23.02\00:10:24.49
Here hypertensive patient,
we want to watch the salt,
00:10:24.52\00:10:27.49
but salt also gives the flavor.
00:10:27.52\00:10:29.02
Okay.
00:10:29.06\00:10:30.39
Let's see if we
could get this going here.
00:10:30.43\00:10:32.19
All right.
00:10:32.23\00:10:33.56
Let's see what
we need to do here.
00:10:33.60\00:10:35.36
And just kind of mix it around.
00:10:35.40\00:10:36.73
Mix it around a little bit.
00:10:36.77\00:10:39.53
Okay.
00:10:39.57\00:10:42.94
Let's try that.
See how that works.
00:10:42.97\00:10:44.44
Okay, that's good.
00:10:54.45\00:10:56.35
All right.
00:10:56.38\00:10:57.72
We are gonna just
continue to mix this.
00:10:57.75\00:10:59.72
It wants to get a
little stuck there.
00:10:59.75\00:11:01.32
Yeah, let's just get it going.
00:11:01.36\00:11:02.96
Okay.
00:11:02.99\00:11:06.13
All right, it's almost there
00:11:06.16\00:11:07.53
because we don't
want to get it too soft.
00:11:07.56\00:11:09.46
Uh-huh!
00:11:09.50\00:11:10.83
Alrighty, so we're just going
to mix this up a little bit,
00:11:10.87\00:11:14.04
and then we're gonna pour it
into our bacon loaf container.
00:11:14.07\00:11:19.67
Let's try it out, Jason.
00:11:19.71\00:11:21.04
All right.
00:11:21.08\00:11:22.54
All right, Jason,
let's take it off.
00:11:29.55\00:11:32.59
Then I'm just gonna mix it...
00:11:32.62\00:11:34.29
Okay.
00:11:34.32\00:11:35.66
Right here.
00:11:35.69\00:11:37.03
If this happens at
home, it's not a problem,
00:11:37.06\00:11:39.09
just keep mixing.
00:11:39.13\00:11:40.46
Or you could pour
it out into a container
00:11:40.50\00:11:42.53
and continue mixing it.
00:11:42.56\00:11:43.90
It's one thing
about the kitchen,
00:11:43.93\00:11:45.27
you have to be ready to adapt.
00:11:45.30\00:11:46.63
You have to be ready to change
anything that goes wrong here.
00:11:46.67\00:11:49.10
This is wonderful.
This is almost ready.
00:11:49.14\00:11:53.34
All right, now sometimes,
00:11:53.38\00:11:55.98
you could add
some browning to this,
00:11:56.01\00:11:58.21
so it could look
just like the real thing.
00:11:58.25\00:12:01.18
I think this is great. Okay.
00:12:01.22\00:12:02.85
Jason, I'm gonna apply
some oil to my baking dish.
00:12:02.88\00:12:06.99
All right.
00:12:07.02\00:12:08.36
I'm gonna pour.
00:12:08.39\00:12:09.72
So here we go.
00:12:09.76\00:12:11.69
We can apply the oil here.
00:12:11.73\00:12:14.03
Okay.
00:12:14.06\00:12:16.87
Then we're going
to pour some here.
00:12:16.90\00:12:20.00
I'll get that
for you. Here we go.
00:12:20.04\00:12:21.90
And then we're going to bake.
00:12:21.94\00:12:23.44
This is actually very delicious.
00:12:23.47\00:12:26.14
I like this at home
when I'm having guests.
00:12:26.17\00:12:30.55
It is tasty,
00:12:30.58\00:12:32.98
filled with a
lot of protein, see?
00:12:33.01\00:12:36.79
And it should
not be too liquidity,
00:12:36.82\00:12:39.19
so it could get it
firm when it's baked.
00:12:39.22\00:12:41.79
So this is actually
00:12:41.82\00:12:43.16
the consistency
you want to have.
00:12:43.19\00:12:45.29
Alrighty.
00:12:45.33\00:12:46.66
So here we go, Jason.
00:12:46.70\00:12:48.03
We're going to
stick this into oven.
00:12:48.06\00:12:50.53
Now for serving
00:12:50.57\00:12:51.97
if you're going to
serve about eight people...
00:12:52.00\00:12:53.84
Okay.
00:12:53.87\00:12:55.20
Then you will be having about
300 calories here in a slice.
00:12:55.24\00:13:00.78
Okay. Alrighty.
00:13:00.81\00:13:02.14
So, Jason, you want to
sit this in the oven for me...
00:13:02.18\00:13:04.71
Sure. While I
put this in the back.
00:13:04.75\00:13:07.18
All right. Alrighty.
00:13:07.22\00:13:09.42
Put this in the oven.
00:13:09.45\00:13:11.39
And that is our cashew nut loaf,
00:13:11.42\00:13:13.25
very delicious.
00:13:13.29\00:13:15.02
We'll serve that on a bed
of green leafy vegetables.
00:13:15.06\00:13:19.39
I can't wait for that.
00:13:19.43\00:13:20.76
Right. And I have
the gravy coming up next.
00:13:20.80\00:13:22.96
Yes.
00:13:23.00\00:13:24.33
All right, that's gonna
be a baking at 350 degrees.
00:13:24.37\00:13:27.34
Three-fifty for how long?
00:13:27.37\00:13:28.70
One hour. One hour.
00:13:28.74\00:13:30.07
Okay. All right.
00:13:30.11\00:13:31.44
So what goes into the gravy?
00:13:31.47\00:13:33.91
Ah! Let's look at that recipe.
00:13:33.94\00:13:35.84
That's right. Let's
see if we have the gravy.
00:13:35.88\00:13:38.85
That is delicious.
00:13:38.88\00:13:40.42
That's it.
00:14:07.38\00:14:09.44
Wonderful. I'm looking forward
to getting into this recipe.
00:14:09.48\00:14:12.15
So where do we start?
00:14:12.18\00:14:13.88
Well, we start simple
00:14:13.92\00:14:16.05
by sautéing our
garlic and onion.
00:14:16.08\00:14:20.99
So let's turn the stove on.
00:14:21.02\00:14:23.26
All right.
00:14:23.29\00:14:24.63
And we're going to sauté
in a small amount of water,
00:14:24.66\00:14:26.90
so we're not using
oil in this recipe.
00:14:26.93\00:14:30.93
Which is healthier for
you. Healthier for you.
00:14:30.97\00:14:33.10
That's right.
00:14:33.13\00:14:34.47
So we're going to
start with our onion.
00:14:34.50\00:14:35.97
Nice.
00:14:36.00\00:14:37.51
One of my favorites.
00:14:37.54\00:14:38.87
Yeah, me too.
00:14:38.91\00:14:40.68
This is really
healthy, onion and garlic.
00:14:40.71\00:14:42.78
All right.
00:14:42.81\00:14:44.15
You know, this can
help with the immune system.
00:14:44.18\00:14:46.11
So we're going to sauté
that with our mushrooms.
00:14:46.15\00:14:51.15
Alrighty.
00:14:51.19\00:14:53.36
And we're just going to
sauté for a couple of minutes.
00:14:53.39\00:14:55.49
We can put that in here.
00:14:55.52\00:14:57.33
Very good.
00:14:57.36\00:14:58.76
Alrighty.
00:14:58.79\00:15:00.13
So we're going to sauté.
00:15:00.16\00:15:01.50
It's a very
simple and easy recipe.
00:15:01.53\00:15:04.17
So we sauté.
00:15:04.20\00:15:05.53
We have a little
bit of water in here.
00:15:05.57\00:15:07.70
And then we are
gonna put in our milk.
00:15:07.74\00:15:12.37
Okay.
00:15:12.41\00:15:13.74
Alrighty.
00:15:13.78\00:15:15.51
We're gonna put in
the soy milk for body.
00:15:15.54\00:15:19.28
We're gonna
continue to let this cook,
00:15:19.31\00:15:20.65
and we're gonna add the slices.
00:15:20.68\00:15:23.52
Lovely.
00:15:23.55\00:15:24.89
So this is our soy sauce.
00:15:24.92\00:15:26.65
Braggs is actually
Braggs, two tablespoons.
00:15:26.69\00:15:29.79
And then we're
going to add the sage,
00:15:29.82\00:15:35.93
and then some
more for a seasoning.
00:15:35.96\00:15:40.14
And I like to use McKay's.
00:15:40.17\00:15:42.60
That's very simple, vegan type.
00:15:42.64\00:15:45.47
And we're gonna let
this simmer for a little bit.
00:15:45.51\00:15:47.61
So it's gonna be
cooking here for a little bit.
00:15:47.64\00:15:51.08
Seems like it's
gonna have a lot of flavor,
00:15:51.11\00:15:52.91
and I can't eat bland food.
00:15:52.95\00:15:54.55
Me neither.
00:15:54.58\00:15:55.92
Like I refuse to eat bland food.
00:15:55.95\00:15:57.29
That's right.
00:15:57.32\00:15:58.65
It's tempting to
believe that when you're vegan
00:15:58.69\00:16:00.02
or you're vegetarian,
00:16:00.06\00:16:01.39
the food should be bland,
00:16:01.42\00:16:02.76
but no, it can be
tasty and delicious, okay?
00:16:02.79\00:16:04.89
That's right.
00:16:04.93\00:16:06.26
And that's we're cooking
today, delicious vegan recipe.
00:16:06.29\00:16:09.56
Wonderful.
00:16:09.60\00:16:10.93
So we're gonna let this
simmer for a little bit.
00:16:10.97\00:16:12.30
It's not yet boiling.
00:16:12.33\00:16:13.67
Okay.
00:16:13.70\00:16:15.94
So how long do you
normally want to let it simmer?
00:16:15.97\00:16:18.67
Oh, about five minutes.
00:16:18.71\00:16:20.04
About five minutes,
okay. Let's bring it to a boil.
00:16:20.08\00:16:22.48
And the hardest part
is to get the flour in
00:16:22.51\00:16:25.15
without getting
it sticky, all right?
00:16:25.18\00:16:26.78
Got you.
00:16:26.82\00:16:28.15
So let's bring this to the boil
00:16:28.18\00:16:29.52
and then we're
gonna add our flour.
00:16:29.55\00:16:30.89
We're gonna be whisking this.
00:16:30.92\00:16:32.25
Okay. So that it
doesn't clump up.
00:16:32.29\00:16:33.62
Exactly. It can be smooth. Nice.
00:16:33.66\00:16:35.69
Now, Jason, these
recipes are in my book.
00:16:35.72\00:16:37.63
Have you seen my cookbook?
00:16:37.66\00:16:39.56
I have seen your
cookbook actually.
00:16:39.59\00:16:42.26
"Incredibly Delicious Vegan."
00:16:42.30\00:16:43.87
"Incredibly
Delicious Vegan," right?
00:16:43.90\00:16:45.73
Nice.
00:16:45.77\00:16:47.10
And this is actually
more than a cookbook.
00:16:47.14\00:16:48.97
I have a meal plan there.
00:16:49.00\00:16:51.27
And I've used the same meal plan
00:16:51.31\00:16:52.87
that we used at
my wellness center
00:16:52.91\00:16:55.11
for my patients
who are doing so well,
00:16:55.14\00:16:57.91
reversing diseases and
getting off medications.
00:16:57.95\00:17:00.55
Wow! So you have meal
plans for different...
00:17:00.58\00:17:04.25
Right.
00:17:04.29\00:17:05.62
So like diabetes,
00:17:05.65\00:17:06.99
you have a meal
plan for diabetics?
00:17:07.02\00:17:08.36
This is how we work, usually,
00:17:08.39\00:17:09.72
when you discuss
plant-based meals,
00:17:09.76\00:17:12.26
it's just one
recipe for everybody,
00:17:12.29\00:17:14.46
one meal plan.
00:17:14.50\00:17:15.83
So if the person
starts eating a plant-based,
00:17:15.86\00:17:18.80
you know, meal plan...
00:17:18.83\00:17:20.17
Okay.
00:17:20.20\00:17:21.54
It will lower
the blood pressure,
00:17:21.57\00:17:22.90
lower the sugar,
00:17:22.94\00:17:24.27
they're gonna lose weight
00:17:24.31\00:17:25.64
and that will take care
00:17:25.67\00:17:27.31
of the root
causes of the problem.
00:17:27.34\00:17:28.74
But then like, let's say
a person with hypertension,
00:17:28.78\00:17:31.35
right?
00:17:31.38\00:17:32.71
So they would add less salt,
00:17:32.75\00:17:34.08
maybe then what the
recipe calls for, is there...
00:17:34.12\00:17:36.69
Well, the recipes are
usually low salt anyway.
00:17:36.72\00:17:39.55
Okay. Low salt, low fat.
00:17:39.59\00:17:41.72
So if you're hypertensive,
or if you're diabetic,
00:17:41.76\00:17:44.76
or if you want to lose weight,
00:17:44.79\00:17:46.29
you can get this book,
00:17:46.33\00:17:48.36
use the same recipes, and
you have very good results.
00:17:48.40\00:17:51.53
Nice. Nice. All right?
00:17:51.57\00:17:53.34
So let's bring this to a boil.
00:17:53.37\00:17:55.00
And if you notice
here, I have these in weeks.
00:17:55.04\00:17:57.51
So I have week one, week two.
00:17:57.54\00:17:59.47
Oh, wow! To week four.
00:17:59.51\00:18:01.18
Then I have
breakfast, dinner, and lunch.
00:18:01.21\00:18:05.45
So if you were to
follow this recipe,
00:18:05.48\00:18:07.78
you're gonna be losing weight,
00:18:07.82\00:18:09.15
and you're gonna see
significant health benefits.
00:18:09.18\00:18:11.12
Nice. Okay.
00:18:11.15\00:18:12.82
I like this
traditional tofu scramble.
00:18:12.85\00:18:15.16
It is so delicious.
00:18:15.19\00:18:17.29
You know, a lot of times
people have the scrambled tofu,
00:18:17.33\00:18:19.89
it has no
taste, it's very bland.
00:18:19.93\00:18:22.03
When you have this one,
00:18:22.06\00:18:23.40
you think you're
actually having scrambled eggs.
00:18:23.43\00:18:25.63
It's very delicious. Yes.
00:18:25.67\00:18:27.50
So we're gonna whisk in
our flour now to a boil.
00:18:27.54\00:18:31.37
And this gonna be
the hardest part of it.
00:18:31.41\00:18:33.64
So we're gonna be whisking this.
00:18:33.68\00:18:35.94
And remember,
these are all low salt.
00:18:35.98\00:18:37.91
Okay.
00:18:37.95\00:18:39.28
So if the listener want
to add more salt, it's okay.
00:18:39.31\00:18:42.95
You can also add
more spices. Okay.
00:18:42.98\00:18:45.59
You know, I'm
from the Caribbean,
00:18:45.62\00:18:46.96
and I love fresh thyme.
00:18:46.99\00:18:48.32
Got you.
00:18:48.36\00:18:49.69
So in my recipes, I
have a lot of thyme.
00:18:49.72\00:18:52.49
So you can add
whatever you want here, okay?
00:18:52.53\00:18:56.10
So we're gonna bring this.
00:18:56.13\00:18:57.47
Let's see if we could
turn this down, Jason,
00:18:57.50\00:18:59.07
it's a little too high.
00:18:59.10\00:19:00.44
All right.
00:19:00.47\00:19:01.80
And we're gonna
get this gravy going.
00:19:01.84\00:19:04.41
Now, Jason,
already have some loaf
00:19:04.44\00:19:07.11
that I made earlier on.
00:19:07.14\00:19:08.58
Uh-huh!
00:19:08.61\00:19:09.94
And this gravy goes
nicely with the loaf, right?
00:19:09.98\00:19:12.31
Yes.
00:19:12.35\00:19:13.68
So I'm gonna let you
taste this pretty soon.
00:19:13.72\00:19:15.12
Okay.
00:19:15.15\00:19:16.48
We're gonna keep this
cooking a little longer.
00:19:16.52\00:19:17.85
I'm looking forward to it.
00:19:17.89\00:19:19.22
Yes, so let's
whisk it some more,
00:19:19.25\00:19:20.59
so it doesn't become grainy.
00:19:20.62\00:19:22.66
Uh-huh. Alrighty.
00:19:22.69\00:19:24.39
And then we have
our mushroom here.
00:19:24.43\00:19:28.50
Sometimes, what I like to use...
00:19:28.53\00:19:30.13
Can you smell that?
Yeah, that smells good.
00:19:30.17\00:19:31.50
Smells like Thanksgiving, right?
00:19:31.53\00:19:33.10
That's smell good.
With the sage, yes.
00:19:33.13\00:19:34.47
I tell you, honestly,
00:19:34.50\00:19:35.84
like I normally
don't like mushrooms
00:19:35.87\00:19:37.37
but this gravy smells so
good that I am going to try it.
00:19:37.41\00:19:41.24
It is really delicious.
00:19:41.28\00:19:42.78
We'll let everything simmer
00:19:42.81\00:19:44.58
and cook for a
couple minutes more.
00:19:44.61\00:19:47.42
And we're gonna serve
this with our meat loaf.
00:19:47.45\00:19:51.05
Oh, yes.
00:19:51.09\00:19:52.42
And you gonna see
how delicious it is.
00:19:52.45\00:19:54.29
Yes.
00:19:54.32\00:19:55.66
Alrighty, so we're gonna
let the simmer little longer.
00:19:55.69\00:19:57.69
It takes a little
while for the flour to cook,
00:19:57.73\00:19:59.89
you know, 10, 15 minutes.
00:19:59.93\00:20:01.96
But of course,
this is TV time...
00:20:02.00\00:20:03.83
That's right.
00:20:03.87\00:20:05.20
We're not gonna keep
it cooking for that long.
00:20:05.23\00:20:06.57
No, we're not. Alrighty.
00:20:06.60\00:20:07.94
So we're gonna have you
taste the finished product.
00:20:07.97\00:20:09.94
Okay.
00:20:09.97\00:20:11.31
While this stays, let's
lower this a little bit.
00:20:11.34\00:20:14.01
We're gonna let this
cook a little longer, Jason,
00:20:14.04\00:20:15.84
and we're gonna reach
over for our finished product,
00:20:15.88\00:20:18.35
and you're gonna
be tasting the...
00:20:18.38\00:20:20.35
Meatloaf and gravy.
00:20:20.38\00:20:21.72
Meatloaf and the
gravy, all right?
00:20:21.75\00:20:23.72
All right.
00:20:23.75\00:20:25.09
Let's get our plate here.
00:20:25.12\00:20:26.45
We're gonna put that there.
00:20:26.49\00:20:27.82
Oh, yeah.
00:20:27.86\00:20:29.19
Why don't you
taste that, Mr. Jason?
00:20:29.22\00:20:31.49
Yes.
00:20:31.53\00:20:32.86
Alrighty.
00:20:32.89\00:20:34.23
We're gonna cut into our loaf,
00:20:34.26\00:20:35.60
and we're going to
add some gravy to it.
00:20:35.63\00:20:37.70
Jason, you want to do that?
00:20:37.73\00:20:39.07
Yes, let me just...
00:20:39.10\00:20:40.44
Let me keep this whisk in here.
00:20:40.47\00:20:42.17
All right.
00:20:42.20\00:20:43.54
All right, so let's
reach over for the loaf, Jason.
00:20:43.57\00:20:46.01
Here, you cut a
piece of that loaf.
00:20:46.04\00:20:49.41
I'm gonna cut it.
It looks so beautiful.
00:20:49.44\00:20:51.28
I'm just gonna
cut a little piece
00:20:51.31\00:20:52.65
here off the back.
00:20:52.68\00:20:54.28
There you go.
00:20:54.32\00:20:55.88
Make sure I
don't knock this over.
00:20:55.92\00:20:58.42
Okay.
00:20:58.45\00:21:00.79
And then you put
some gravy on it.
00:21:00.82\00:21:02.42
And it's nice to
serve it on a bed of green.
00:21:02.46\00:21:05.19
Do you wanna taste
some of this too, right?
00:21:05.23\00:21:06.56
Why not? Put it right there.
00:21:06.59\00:21:07.93
I might eat this...
00:21:07.96\00:21:09.30
I might eat the whole thing now.
00:21:09.33\00:21:10.67
No, no, no.
00:21:10.70\00:21:12.03
We need to share this.
00:21:12.07\00:21:13.40
Okay. It is delicious.
00:21:13.44\00:21:14.77
Sharing is caring.
00:21:14.80\00:21:16.14
That's right. All right.
00:21:16.17\00:21:17.51
So this is looking good.
00:21:17.54\00:21:18.87
I like this.
00:21:18.91\00:21:20.44
Just take a little
while longer to cook.
00:21:20.48\00:21:22.04
Okay, Jason. All right.
00:21:22.08\00:21:23.61
And then you have a spoon,
00:21:23.65\00:21:24.98
they want to put a
little gravy on that.
00:21:25.01\00:21:26.35
Yes.
00:21:26.38\00:21:28.15
I feel like I'm at the buffet.
00:21:28.18\00:21:30.09
Well, why not?
00:21:30.12\00:21:33.36
We're serving
delicious vegan specials today.
00:21:33.39\00:21:36.06
All right.
00:21:36.09\00:21:38.19
Yes, I want some of that nice.
00:21:38.23\00:21:39.79
You want some of this one? Yeah.
00:21:39.83\00:21:41.16
All right. Some of
that nice hot gravy.
00:21:41.20\00:21:42.53
Go ahead and try
some of this one.
00:21:42.56\00:21:43.97
All right.
00:21:44.00\00:21:45.33
There you go. I'll
just take some of that.
00:21:45.37\00:21:46.70
Just put it there.
00:21:46.74\00:21:49.07
See what it tastes like.
00:21:49.10\00:21:50.44
I'm gonna get a little more...
00:21:53.61\00:21:54.94
There you go, Jason.
00:21:54.98\00:21:56.31
Saucy.
00:21:56.34\00:21:57.68
All right. Alrighty.
00:21:57.71\00:21:59.48
Taste it and you tell me.
00:21:59.51\00:22:00.85
You be the judge today.
00:22:00.88\00:22:02.22
Okay.
00:22:02.25\00:22:03.59
See if we're great with that,
00:22:03.62\00:22:06.99
while I continue to whisk this.
00:22:07.02\00:22:10.23
Say my blessing real quick.
00:22:10.26\00:22:11.79
All right, Jason.
00:22:11.83\00:22:13.16
Good.
00:22:13.19\00:22:14.63
That's right. We whisk the soup.
00:22:14.66\00:22:16.16
All right.
00:22:16.20\00:22:17.53
Tell me what it
taste like, Jason.
00:22:17.57\00:22:21.04
Is it
Thanksgiving in your mouth?
00:22:21.07\00:22:25.87
What do you say?
00:22:25.91\00:22:27.24
Tastes good? It is.
00:22:27.28\00:22:28.61
That loaf is good.
00:22:28.64\00:22:29.98
It is delicious.
00:22:30.01\00:22:31.35
It's our
Thanksgiving special, alrighty?
00:22:31.38\00:22:33.92
And they can be served anyway.
00:22:33.95\00:22:35.72
I taste the onions nice.
00:22:35.75\00:22:37.69
The sage.
00:22:37.72\00:22:39.05
It got really good texture. Yes.
00:22:39.09\00:22:40.52
Fantastic.
00:22:40.56\00:22:41.89
So this is almost done...
00:22:41.92\00:22:43.73
Okay.
00:22:43.76\00:22:45.89
Cooking.
00:22:45.93\00:22:47.26
And it's ready to go.
00:22:47.30\00:22:52.67
All right. All right.
00:22:52.70\00:22:54.57
So that was good.
00:22:54.60\00:22:57.07
I can't wait to
eat the rest of that.
00:22:57.11\00:22:58.44
I'm so happy you enjoyed.
00:22:58.47\00:22:59.81
I can't wait to try this
after the show as well, Jason.
00:22:59.84\00:23:01.94
Yeah.
00:23:01.98\00:23:03.48
What's our next recipe?
00:23:03.51\00:23:04.85
All right, so it's gonna be
our roasted vegetable delight.
00:23:04.88\00:23:11.05
So this is what
we're gonna be using.
00:23:11.09\00:23:12.65
And that's all you need, Jason.
00:23:44.09\00:23:45.85
All right.
00:23:45.89\00:23:47.22
Well, that sounds wonderful.
00:23:47.26\00:23:48.59
Now where do we begin?
00:23:48.62\00:23:49.96
All right, so this
is a very simple recipe,
00:23:49.99\00:23:51.66
it's filled with
lots of vegetables.
00:23:51.69\00:23:53.86
Okay.
00:23:53.90\00:23:55.23
And, of course, with vegetables
you have your vitamins,
00:23:55.26\00:23:57.13
your phytochemicals, and
your nutrients, alrighty?
00:23:57.17\00:24:00.20
So we are gonna
begin with our zucchini.
00:24:00.24\00:24:05.01
Okay. All right.
00:24:05.04\00:24:06.41
What's zucchini good for?
00:24:06.44\00:24:08.24
Zucchini is good
for every things.
00:24:08.28\00:24:09.88
It's filled with water.
00:24:09.91\00:24:11.65
Okay.
00:24:11.68\00:24:13.01
It's filled with
fiber, lots of vitamins.
00:24:13.05\00:24:15.88
Okay.
00:24:15.92\00:24:17.25
If somebody
wants to lose weight,
00:24:17.29\00:24:18.62
zucchini is the way to go
00:24:18.65\00:24:20.22
because there are
not lots of calories.
00:24:20.26\00:24:23.76
Okay.
00:24:23.79\00:24:25.13
It's calorie poor
but nutrient-dense.
00:24:25.16\00:24:27.13
Got you. All right.
00:24:27.16\00:24:28.50
So how do you...
00:24:28.53\00:24:29.86
This is easy to be cooked,
00:24:29.90\00:24:31.23
so we don't want
to cut these too fine.
00:24:31.27\00:24:33.74
So we're gonna make
sure they're nicely cut,
00:24:33.77\00:24:38.17
all right, about
this size, all right?
00:24:38.21\00:24:41.04
So we're gonna cut the zucchini,
00:24:41.08\00:24:42.51
and we probably want to get
00:24:42.54\00:24:44.15
not a small
zucchini but medium size.
00:24:44.18\00:24:47.52
Okay.
00:24:47.55\00:24:48.88
Alrighty?
00:24:48.92\00:24:50.25
So we're going to chop
this, discard that section,
00:24:50.29\00:24:54.76
and then we're gonna cut here.
00:24:54.79\00:24:56.32
We're gonna cut this
up. This is very simple.
00:25:00.26\00:25:02.53
Somebody comes from work,
00:25:02.56\00:25:04.80
they can put
this recipe together.
00:25:04.83\00:25:07.20
And in 45 minutes, this
is actually ready to go.
00:25:07.24\00:25:11.31
Nice.
00:25:11.34\00:25:12.67
So it's not
super labor intensive.
00:25:12.71\00:25:14.04
No, it's not, very easy.
00:25:14.08\00:25:15.41
Got you.
00:25:15.44\00:25:16.78
So we're gonna get your
bowl, which I have right here.
00:25:16.81\00:25:18.15
Okay.
00:25:18.18\00:25:19.51
All right.
00:25:19.55\00:25:20.88
And we're going to add
all of these recipes here,
00:25:20.92\00:25:23.55
all these
ingredients, zucchini in here.
00:25:23.59\00:25:28.02
Then we're gonna
add the broccoli.
00:25:28.06\00:25:31.59
Now broccoli, this is high
in protein and high in calcium.
00:25:31.63\00:25:36.00
So someone has osteoporosis
00:25:36.03\00:25:39.10
or don't want to
have osteoporosis,
00:25:39.13\00:25:41.47
then this is the way to go.
00:25:41.50\00:25:43.04
Broccoli. What
about cauliflower?
00:25:43.07\00:25:44.67
Is it the same?
00:25:44.71\00:25:46.04
Cauliflower, these are
called cruciferous vegetables.
00:25:46.07\00:25:48.71
Okay.
00:25:48.74\00:25:50.08
These are great
to prevent cancer,
00:25:50.11\00:25:52.81
as a matter of fact,
00:25:52.85\00:25:54.18
a study was done
that showed that patient
00:25:54.22\00:25:56.79
who consumed
cruciferous vegetables,
00:25:56.82\00:26:00.59
cauliflower,
broccoli, kale, cabbage,
00:26:00.62\00:26:03.99
lower the risk for colon cancer.
00:26:04.03\00:26:05.83
Oh, wow!
00:26:05.86\00:26:07.20
Adding whole grains
to that, and folic acid,
00:26:07.23\00:26:09.46
which you can
get from your banana
00:26:09.50\00:26:11.23
and other fruits.
00:26:11.27\00:26:12.60
Okay.
00:26:12.63\00:26:13.97
So we're gonna mix
this all up together here.
00:26:14.00\00:26:16.17
Okay?
00:26:16.20\00:26:18.31
Alrighty.
00:26:18.34\00:26:19.67
And then we're
going to add our onion.
00:26:19.71\00:26:22.24
And onions are
good for what again?
00:26:22.28\00:26:23.78
I told you, these
are just wonderful,
00:26:23.81\00:26:25.68
anti-inflammatory.
00:26:25.71\00:26:27.75
So if you have arthritis...
00:26:27.78\00:26:29.12
Arthritis.
00:26:29.15\00:26:30.49
Any type of inflammation...
00:26:30.52\00:26:31.85
Exactly. Got you.
00:26:31.89\00:26:33.22
Build your immune system.
00:26:33.25\00:26:34.59
We're going to add the Braggs,
this will give us enough salt.
00:26:34.62\00:26:39.36
And we are gonna
add our onion ring soup.
00:26:39.39\00:26:43.13
Okay.
00:26:43.16\00:26:44.50
We had some tofu
somewhere here to be added.
00:26:44.53\00:26:49.24
Can you check in the
back if I left it over there?
00:26:49.27\00:26:51.51
Sure.
00:26:51.54\00:26:52.87
Okay.
00:26:52.91\00:26:54.24
Now if we're missing
the tofu, that's okay too.
00:26:54.28\00:26:56.31
We're gonna mix this all up.
00:26:56.34\00:26:59.18
All right.
00:26:59.21\00:27:00.55
And then we're going
00:27:00.58\00:27:02.45
to spray our dish here or sheet.
00:27:02.48\00:27:06.65
We're gonna layer
that in our sheet.
00:27:06.69\00:27:08.56
Okay.
00:27:08.59\00:27:09.92
And then we're
ready to go, all right?
00:27:09.96\00:27:11.33
So it's very, very simple.
00:27:11.36\00:27:13.09
And as I say,
00:27:13.13\00:27:14.50
one serving of this
only give about 70-calorie.
00:27:14.53\00:27:17.63
So this is a good for
anyone trying to lose weight.
00:27:17.67\00:27:20.10
You still have the fiber,
00:27:20.14\00:27:21.47
so you're not
gonna be feeling hungry.
00:27:21.50\00:27:23.00
Got you.
00:27:23.04\00:27:24.37
They keep you
feeling fuller longer,
00:27:24.41\00:27:25.87
so no need to snack here.
00:27:25.91\00:27:28.08
So this is extremely simple.
00:27:28.11\00:27:29.71
That's nutrient-dense
00:27:29.74\00:27:31.08
that won't give you
that bloated feeling.
00:27:31.11\00:27:32.45
That's right. Got you.
00:27:32.48\00:27:33.82
Nutrient-dense,
but calorie poor.
00:27:33.85\00:27:36.18
And you won't feel lethargic.
00:27:36.22\00:27:38.02
Absolutely not.
00:27:38.05\00:27:39.39
With all the vitamins
here, lots of vitamin A,
00:27:39.42\00:27:42.22
lot of vitamin C,
00:27:42.26\00:27:43.59
lots of calcium here,
and iron in this recipe.
00:27:43.63\00:27:47.66
It's great for the skin.
00:27:47.70\00:27:49.03
It's great for
just about anything.
00:27:49.06\00:27:50.90
So we're going to add
00:27:50.93\00:27:53.57
some cinnamon
on to our pan here.
00:27:53.60\00:27:56.57
Okay.
00:27:56.60\00:27:58.57
Then we're gonna pour this on.
00:27:58.61\00:28:00.24
So this is
actually a complete meal,
00:28:03.98\00:28:05.85
adding the tofu in here
with all those vegetables.
00:28:05.88\00:28:08.82
So we're gonna layer this here.
00:28:08.85\00:28:11.25
Sorry, layer this out.
00:28:11.29\00:28:15.52
Okay.
00:28:15.56\00:28:16.89
And I really like to
cook this for my family
00:28:16.93\00:28:18.49
because this is
so simple, so easy.
00:28:18.53\00:28:22.53
And if you like all the spices,
00:28:22.56\00:28:24.60
you can add your all
the spices here as well.
00:28:24.63\00:28:27.80
And this is good to go, so...
00:28:27.84\00:28:30.54
Now, where did
you learn how to cook?
00:28:30.57\00:28:33.17
And when did you
learn how to cook?
00:28:33.21\00:28:35.61
Jason, I grew up
with my grandmother,
00:28:35.64\00:28:38.01
and she was a
great cook in Jamaica.
00:28:38.05\00:28:39.81
Really?
00:28:39.85\00:28:41.18
She won first place
00:28:41.22\00:28:42.88
every year almost in
international cooking.
00:28:42.92\00:28:46.22
So I learned to cook from her.
00:28:46.25\00:28:48.36
And then as I changed
my practice of medicine
00:28:48.39\00:28:51.39
to become more
holistic in approach...
00:28:51.43\00:28:53.83
Uh-huh.
00:28:53.86\00:28:55.20
I had to just start
making my own recipes.
00:28:55.23\00:28:56.83
Wow!
00:28:56.87\00:28:58.20
Do you ever do any of
the Jamaican jerk tofu?
00:28:58.23\00:29:02.50
I do Jamaican curry tofu.
00:29:02.54\00:29:04.57
Curry tofu.
00:29:04.61\00:29:05.94
Which we're gonna be
cooking on this show.
00:29:05.97\00:29:07.31
Okay.
00:29:07.34\00:29:08.68
And you're going to enjoy that.
00:29:08.71\00:29:10.05
Oh, yeah. I'm
looking forward to that.
00:29:10.08\00:29:11.41
So here, we're almost done.
00:29:11.45\00:29:12.78
We're going to cover
00:29:12.81\00:29:14.15
with our foil
which I have right here.
00:29:14.18\00:29:16.55
Oh, boy.
00:29:16.58\00:29:17.92
And then we're
gonna bake at 400.
00:29:17.95\00:29:23.69
Four-hundred degrees?
00:29:23.73\00:29:25.06
Degrees. Okay.
00:29:25.09\00:29:26.43
For about 10 minutes covered.
00:29:26.46\00:29:27.86
Okay.
00:29:27.90\00:29:29.23
Then we're gonna
remove the foil and leave
00:29:29.26\00:29:32.63
for another 15
minutes uncovered.
00:29:32.67\00:29:35.10
So let's put it in.
00:29:35.14\00:29:36.47
All right.
00:29:36.50\00:29:37.84
Three-fifty, or
four-hundred for 10 minutes.
00:29:37.87\00:29:42.38
And then removing the foil.
00:29:42.41\00:29:45.11
All right.
00:29:45.15\00:29:46.48
This is delicious, Jason.
00:29:46.51\00:29:48.22
And as I mentioned
before, you can eat as much,
00:29:48.25\00:29:52.59
and you will never
gain weight, all right?
00:29:52.62\00:29:55.76
So do you like to
taste the finished product?
00:29:55.79\00:29:57.99
This is TV, so we
don't have a lot of time.
00:29:58.03\00:30:00.26
Absolutely, I would love
to taste the finished product.
00:30:00.30\00:30:02.46
So I have a
finished product here for you
00:30:02.50\00:30:05.60
in the interest of
time, so it's right here.
00:30:05.63\00:30:08.30
All right.
00:30:08.34\00:30:09.67
Why don't you taste
and tell me what you think?
00:30:09.70\00:30:11.04
Let's see.
00:30:11.07\00:30:12.41
I'll make sure I get
some tofu, some hot peppers.
00:30:12.44\00:30:17.41
All right, tell me
what you think, Jason.
00:30:17.45\00:30:18.85
Good?
00:30:22.12\00:30:23.45
Very flavorful.
00:30:23.49\00:30:24.82
Right.
00:30:24.85\00:30:26.19
Now is that firm tofu
00:30:26.22\00:30:27.59
'cause it's got
a nice consistency?
00:30:27.62\00:30:28.96
This is extra firm tofu.
00:30:28.99\00:30:30.59
And you can see here that
you have different colors,
00:30:30.63\00:30:33.83
different colors of vegetable
bring different nutrients,
00:30:33.86\00:30:38.10
different vitamins.
00:30:38.13\00:30:39.47
Got you.
00:30:39.50\00:30:40.84
You have covered a lot
of vitamin A, beta carotene,
00:30:40.87\00:30:43.84
and as we
mentioned, the broccoli has...
00:30:43.87\00:30:47.21
Cruciferous.
00:30:47.24\00:30:48.58
Yeah, just about so
many different nutrients,
00:30:48.61\00:30:51.35
calcium, protein, fiber.
00:30:51.38\00:30:54.82
And this is what you need.
00:30:54.85\00:30:56.95
If you want to lose weight,
prevent or reverse diseases.
00:30:56.99\00:31:01.36
Yes, and that's well-balanced.
00:31:01.39\00:31:02.72
As I mentioned
well-balanced low calorie.
00:31:02.76\00:31:05.59
And as I mentioned,
00:31:05.63\00:31:06.96
I have a lot of patients
00:31:07.00\00:31:08.33
who are doing
fantastic eating this way.
00:31:08.36\00:31:10.77
Wow!
00:31:10.80\00:31:12.13
So you've seen a
tremendous amount
00:31:12.17\00:31:14.57
of weight loss?
00:31:14.60\00:31:15.94
Yes, I have a lady, 77
years old, she came in,
00:31:15.97\00:31:19.77
she was weighing 300
pounds, diabetic, hypertensive,
00:31:19.81\00:31:23.14
depressed, joint pain.
00:31:23.18\00:31:25.35
She came into the
program "12 Weeks to Wellness,"
00:31:25.38\00:31:28.65
she lost 50 pounds.
00:31:28.68\00:31:31.19
Wow!
00:31:31.22\00:31:32.55
She got rid of her walking cane,
00:31:32.59\00:31:34.52
she reversed her diabetes.
00:31:34.56\00:31:37.19
And, of course,
depression was gone.
00:31:37.23\00:31:39.29
Okay.
00:31:39.33\00:31:40.66
And she decreased her medication
00:31:40.70\00:31:42.03
for hypertension.
00:31:42.06\00:31:43.40
Wow!
00:31:43.43\00:31:44.77
So we're using food as
medicine at Cooper Wellness
00:31:44.80\00:31:46.30
and Disease Prevention
Center in the Rio Grande Valley.
00:31:46.33\00:31:49.60
And delicious food with that.
00:31:49.64\00:31:51.04
Delicious.
00:31:51.07\00:31:52.41
Yes. All right.
00:31:52.44\00:31:53.78
So what are we gonna make next?
00:31:53.81\00:31:55.51
Next, I think we're
gonna do our curried tofu
00:31:55.54\00:31:58.15
that we just spoke about.
00:31:58.18\00:31:59.51
And that's it.
00:32:43.86\00:32:45.19
That sounds pretty flavorful.
00:32:45.23\00:32:46.56
It is very delicious, Jason.
00:32:46.59\00:32:48.23
So where do we begin?
00:32:48.26\00:32:50.07
We're gonna begin with you.
00:32:50.10\00:32:51.50
Oh!
00:32:51.53\00:32:52.87
You're gonna help me right now,
00:32:52.90\00:32:54.24
you're going to
be cutting my tofu.
00:32:54.27\00:32:55.60
Okay.
00:32:55.64\00:32:56.97
See, we're not at
the taste testing part.
00:32:57.01\00:32:58.71
So I'm gonna cut the tofu.
No, you're gonna be working.
00:32:58.74\00:33:00.18
Okay, I got you.
00:33:00.21\00:33:01.54
Yes, you're gonna cut
it more or less like this.
00:33:01.58\00:33:03.08
Okay, so want that thick.
00:33:03.11\00:33:04.75
And then across, okay?
00:33:04.78\00:33:06.92
Then I'm gonna
pour the oil in the pot,
00:33:06.95\00:33:08.68
so we can get
this vegetable oil.
00:33:08.72\00:33:11.79
Two tablespoon of salt,
we get this hot for the tofu.
00:33:11.82\00:33:15.79
And we're going to be searing
the tofu until golden brown,
00:33:15.82\00:33:22.80
all right?
00:33:22.83\00:33:24.17
Now you can also
bake the tofu as well
00:33:24.20\00:33:26.60
but today we're
going to be searing.
00:33:26.63\00:33:28.04
So let's see if we
have enough heat here.
00:33:28.07\00:33:31.27
There we go.
00:33:31.31\00:33:32.64
That's good. Right.
00:33:32.67\00:33:34.01
So when the oil is hot,
00:33:34.04\00:33:35.74
we're gonna place
that in here, Jason.
00:33:35.78\00:33:37.98
Okay. Let me see.
00:33:38.01\00:33:39.35
I think we're warm.
00:33:39.38\00:33:40.72
You want to hand that to me?
00:33:40.75\00:33:42.08
There we go.
00:33:42.12\00:33:43.45
We are going to place
them and we're gonna sear them
00:33:43.49\00:33:47.02
on all the sides.
00:33:47.06\00:33:48.59
All right. Alrighty.
00:33:48.62\00:33:50.33
So make sure we drain the tofu,
00:33:50.36\00:33:52.06
so we don't have
this splashing of the oil
00:33:52.09\00:33:54.56
'cause the tofu
is soaked in water.
00:33:54.60\00:33:56.20
Okay.
00:33:56.23\00:33:57.57
So you want to drain
that well, all right?
00:33:57.60\00:33:59.47
We're gonna put this in.
00:33:59.50\00:34:01.24
Yeah.
00:34:01.27\00:34:02.60
Be careful when
you try this at home.
00:34:02.64\00:34:04.01
Yes.
00:34:04.04\00:34:05.37
Don't burn
yourself because it's...
00:34:05.41\00:34:07.81
It can be a problem.
00:34:07.84\00:34:09.18
It's pretty hot.
00:34:09.21\00:34:10.55
Yeah, and this is the water
that you're hearing right now.
00:34:10.58\00:34:13.18
Okay. Alrighty.
00:34:13.21\00:34:14.55
So we're gonna sear that.
00:34:14.58\00:34:17.82
Or we can bake this.
00:34:17.85\00:34:20.26
All right?
00:34:20.29\00:34:21.62
Which one do you prefer?
00:34:21.66\00:34:22.99
I prefer bacon.
00:34:23.02\00:34:25.03
Bacon. Right.
00:34:25.06\00:34:26.39
Okay.
00:34:26.43\00:34:27.76
But I wanted to cook
'cause most of the stuff
00:34:27.80\00:34:29.13
we've been cooking,
we have been baking.
00:34:29.16\00:34:30.50
Yes. All right.
00:34:30.53\00:34:31.87
So I wanted to cook here.
00:34:31.90\00:34:33.23
That's why we're doing this.
00:34:33.27\00:34:34.60
I like the
sound of the sizzling.
00:34:34.64\00:34:35.97
Yes, exactly.
00:34:36.00\00:34:37.34
So we're going to
be turning this to see
00:34:37.37\00:34:38.71
if we're getting them brown
00:34:38.74\00:34:40.08
and this is going to be
searing small amount of oil
00:34:40.11\00:34:42.88
as I mentioned,
00:34:42.91\00:34:44.35
only about two tablespoons full,
00:34:44.38\00:34:46.41
you could even decrease
that, just frame your pot.
00:34:46.45\00:34:49.28
Okay.
00:34:49.32\00:34:50.65
You can see here,
00:34:50.69\00:34:52.02
we're getting them brown, Jason.
00:34:52.05\00:34:53.39
Can you see that? Oh, yeah.
00:34:53.42\00:34:54.76
Alrighty, so it doesn't
take a lot long to get them
00:34:54.79\00:34:56.62
really nice and seared.
00:34:56.66\00:34:59.06
And then we will
add our coconut milk.
00:34:59.09\00:35:04.90
Okay. All right?
00:35:04.93\00:35:06.27
So let me just continue searing
a little while longer, Jason.
00:35:06.30\00:35:09.07
All right.
00:35:09.10\00:35:10.44
And then we're gonna
add the coconut milk.
00:35:10.47\00:35:12.77
And that is going to
give us that Caribbean flavor.
00:35:12.81\00:35:15.81
I love it.
00:35:15.84\00:35:17.18
Yeah, it is really delicious.
00:35:17.21\00:35:19.21
And this is one of
my family favorites.
00:35:19.25\00:35:21.12
Okay.
00:35:21.15\00:35:22.48
So you grew up on this.
00:35:22.52\00:35:23.85
Yes.
00:35:23.89\00:35:25.69
And I like to take
it to potluck as well.
00:35:25.72\00:35:28.06
You know, usually
the guests love them,
00:35:28.09\00:35:30.79
coconut curry tofu.
00:35:30.83\00:35:32.16
Got you.
00:35:32.19\00:35:33.53
Alrighty, so I
think we are okay here.
00:35:33.56\00:35:37.33
So you're gonna sear
this until golden brown,
00:35:37.37\00:35:39.50
so it becomes a little firmer.
00:35:39.53\00:35:41.67
And then we will add
00:35:41.70\00:35:43.14
our coconut milk
to this, all right?
00:35:43.17\00:35:45.41
All right.
00:35:45.44\00:35:46.78
So let's go ahead and add this.
00:35:46.81\00:35:49.18
All right, very good.
00:35:49.21\00:35:51.75
Then to this we
shall add our carrots.
00:35:51.78\00:35:57.25
Right?
00:35:57.29\00:35:58.69
Nicely cut.
00:35:58.72\00:36:00.06
Carrots have beta carotene.
00:36:00.09\00:36:01.42
Beta carotene, with the fiber,
vitamin A, great for the eye,
00:36:01.46\00:36:06.03
fiber is fantastic.
00:36:06.06\00:36:07.40
We're gonna put our
potato and these are cubed,
00:36:07.43\00:36:11.10
and this is just to
give it that saucy texture.
00:36:11.13\00:36:15.80
Alrighty. Got you.
00:36:15.84\00:36:17.17
Then we're gonna
be adding the onions.
00:36:17.21\00:36:20.31
My favorite.
00:36:20.34\00:36:21.68
Yeah, a lot of spice.
00:36:21.71\00:36:24.01
Give it a lot of
flavor, and the garlic.
00:36:24.05\00:36:27.45
You notice I'm cooking
with a lot of garlic and onion.
00:36:27.48\00:36:31.45
I love the garlic and onions,
00:36:31.49\00:36:33.02
I just need to have
a breath mint handy.
00:36:33.05\00:36:34.86
Well, it's all right.
00:36:34.89\00:36:36.22
You just want to have
a strong immune system,
00:36:36.26\00:36:37.93
it's okay.
00:36:37.96\00:36:39.49
That's right.
00:36:39.53\00:36:40.86
We're gonna add our
curry powder to this,
00:36:40.90\00:36:44.37
and then this is our cumin
and turmeric, made from cumin.
00:36:44.40\00:36:49.50
This is a fantastic
to fight any infection,
00:36:49.54\00:36:53.64
build immune system.
00:36:53.68\00:36:55.94
Turmeric is good for
joints and for inflammation.
00:36:55.98\00:37:00.22
So we're using
here food as medicine.
00:37:00.25\00:37:02.65
So if you take like
some, let's say turmeric,
00:37:02.68\00:37:05.35
and broccoli, or cauliflower,
00:37:05.39\00:37:08.46
that'll really help
bring down inflammation.
00:37:08.49\00:37:11.09
Yes. That's 'cause broccoli...
00:37:11.13\00:37:12.73
Turmeric, garlic and onion.
00:37:12.76\00:37:14.96
Garlic and onion.
00:37:15.00\00:37:16.33
It is the onion. Yes, yes.
00:37:16.36\00:37:17.70
And if you want to add
some fruit to that anything
00:37:17.73\00:37:19.63
with vitamin C.
00:37:19.67\00:37:21.00
Okay.
00:37:21.04\00:37:22.37
Lemon and oranges.
00:37:22.40\00:37:23.74
Beautiful.
00:37:23.77\00:37:25.11
What does the broccoli do again?
00:37:25.14\00:37:27.64
High in antioxidants or...
00:37:27.68\00:37:29.01
The broccoli high in
antioxidant, high in fiber,
00:37:29.04\00:37:33.11
is the king of vegetables.
00:37:33.15\00:37:35.08
Okay, high in
protein, high in calcium.
00:37:35.12\00:37:39.65
Okay.
00:37:39.69\00:37:41.02
A lot of people don't realize
that we can get enough calcium
00:37:41.06\00:37:42.92
from foods.
00:37:42.96\00:37:44.29
So it helps with
the osteoporosis.
00:37:44.33\00:37:45.66
Exactly.
00:37:45.69\00:37:47.03
Alrighty, and there's
certain vitamins that we need,
00:37:47.06\00:37:52.43
that we get from all
these fruits and vegetables.
00:37:52.47\00:37:54.40
Alrighty.
00:37:54.44\00:37:55.77
This is our salt, and
then this is our onion.
00:37:55.80\00:38:00.74
Okay. Nice.
00:38:00.78\00:38:02.14
And then, now,
00:38:02.18\00:38:03.51
if you're from the
Caribbean or from Jamaica,
00:38:03.55\00:38:04.95
you know, we cook
with a lot of fresh thyme.
00:38:04.98\00:38:07.08
Give it a nice taste.
00:38:07.12\00:38:09.48
All right?
00:38:09.52\00:38:10.85
So we gonna let
this simmer for a while.
00:38:10.89\00:38:12.62
Okay.
00:38:12.65\00:38:13.99
Okay, this will
take a little while.
00:38:14.02\00:38:15.36
Approximately, how long do
you like to let that simmer
00:38:15.39\00:38:18.53
at home?
00:38:18.56\00:38:19.89
About half an hour.
00:38:19.93\00:38:21.26
Half an hour, okay.
00:38:21.30\00:38:22.63
So it takes a little while,
00:38:22.66\00:38:24.00
but the end
product is just fantastic.
00:38:24.03\00:38:25.60
It's very, very delicious,
00:38:25.63\00:38:27.54
you can smell the flavor, right?
00:38:27.57\00:38:29.24
It is delicious.
00:38:29.27\00:38:31.14
You know, you
notice that I use tofu.
00:38:31.17\00:38:33.01
Yes.
00:38:33.04\00:38:34.38
And tofu is made
from bean curd soy bean.
00:38:34.41\00:38:36.85
Okay. All right.
00:38:36.88\00:38:38.21
Tofu is very high in protein.
00:38:38.25\00:38:41.02
And tofu is so versatile.
00:38:41.05\00:38:43.89
You use tofu for protein,
you can use it as a dessert,
00:38:43.92\00:38:48.69
you could use it to make cheese.
00:38:48.72\00:38:50.06
Really? You can
use it as a dessert.
00:38:50.09\00:38:51.43
What kind of dessert
can you make with tofu?
00:38:51.46\00:38:52.79
Oh, I'll tell you, tofu parfait.
00:38:52.83\00:38:54.90
Okay.
00:38:54.93\00:38:56.26
You could use it to make
so many different things.
00:38:56.30\00:38:59.47
Tofu really takes on the flavor
of whatever you add to it.
00:38:59.50\00:39:03.24
Got you.
00:39:03.27\00:39:04.61
So if you add vegetables,
or if you add fruits,
00:39:04.64\00:39:07.78
and it takes that
flavor of a dessert.
00:39:07.81\00:39:10.91
Okay.
00:39:10.95\00:39:12.28
If you add things that
are savory, savory spices,
00:39:12.31\00:39:15.22
then it takes the
flavor off maybe your protein
00:39:15.25\00:39:18.62
so this is very,
very delicious here.
00:39:18.65\00:39:21.89
That smells amazing.
00:39:21.92\00:39:23.26
At our wellness center, we
00:39:23.29\00:39:24.63
use a lot of tofu
in different recipes.
00:39:24.66\00:39:28.43
So we're gonna let this
simmer for a little while
00:39:28.46\00:39:30.77
and then we're
gonna go from here.
00:39:30.80\00:39:33.54
Now, do you
normally want to cover
00:39:33.57\00:39:36.07
that and let it simmer?
00:39:36.10\00:39:37.44
Or do you simmer it uncovered?
00:39:37.47\00:39:39.01
No, I will cover it.
00:39:39.04\00:39:40.38
And we have the cover here.
00:39:40.41\00:39:42.31
We're gonna cover this,
00:39:42.34\00:39:43.68
let it simmer
for a little while.
00:39:43.71\00:39:45.05
Okay.
00:39:45.08\00:39:46.41
Now, is this in
your cookbook as well?
00:39:46.45\00:39:47.78
This is in my cookbook,
00:39:47.82\00:39:49.15
and I have the
cookbook right here.
00:39:49.18\00:39:50.52
Why don't you get it, Jason?
00:39:50.55\00:39:51.89
Let's take a look at this.
00:39:51.92\00:39:53.25
Yes.
00:39:53.29\00:39:54.62
So incredibly delicious
vegan recipes and meal plans.
00:39:54.66\00:39:58.39
Okay.
00:39:58.43\00:39:59.76
So as I mentioned, I
have 28 days meal plan here,
00:39:59.79\00:40:02.26
I have 117 delicious recipes.
00:40:02.30\00:40:07.27
Breakfast, lunch, and supper.
00:40:07.30\00:40:11.21
And if you were to
purchase this book,
00:40:11.24\00:40:12.87
you realize that the suppers
00:40:12.91\00:40:15.11
are very light because I always,
00:40:15.14\00:40:17.65
you know, tell my patients
00:40:17.68\00:40:19.01
that if they were to
eat a heavy meal at supper,
00:40:19.05\00:40:24.12
they tend to gain weight
because there's no time to use
00:40:24.15\00:40:27.49
that extra calories.
00:40:27.52\00:40:29.12
Yes.
00:40:29.16\00:40:30.49
And we all know that
we should eat like a king
00:40:30.53\00:40:31.86
or queen during what?
00:40:31.89\00:40:33.80
Breakfast.
00:40:33.83\00:40:35.16
Yes, I'm
horrible, I can't admit it.
00:40:35.20\00:40:38.70
I'm horrible with that like.
00:40:38.73\00:40:40.14
Why? Why is that?
00:40:40.17\00:40:41.50
A lot of times I
don't eat breakfast
00:40:41.54\00:40:42.87
a lot of times, unfortunately...
00:40:42.90\00:40:44.24
You need the energy.
00:40:44.27\00:40:45.61
Well, I wake up, have worship,
00:40:45.64\00:40:46.98
and then I'm rushing and
then I gotta get to work.
00:40:47.01\00:40:48.64
Yeah, but now you need to
start your day with energy.
00:40:48.68\00:40:51.18
So breakfast is always good.
00:40:51.21\00:40:53.88
I like breakfast.
00:40:53.92\00:40:55.25
So I start with
an early breakfast,
00:40:55.28\00:40:56.99
a late dinner,
00:40:57.02\00:40:58.35
which is a heavy dinner
00:40:58.39\00:40:59.72
and maybe no
supper or light supper.
00:40:59.75\00:41:01.76
Okay.
00:41:01.79\00:41:03.12
Once upon a time, Jason,
00:41:03.16\00:41:04.49
I was 25 pounds more overweight.
00:41:04.53\00:41:07.60
And I changed my eating
habit and I lost 25 pounds,
00:41:07.63\00:41:12.93
lowered my blood pressure.
00:41:12.97\00:41:14.30
I was not hypertensive
but I was pre-hypertensive.
00:41:14.34\00:41:18.07
Okay.
00:41:18.11\00:41:19.44
So getting that
extra weight off,
00:41:19.47\00:41:21.28
I got out of that
range of being hypertensive
00:41:21.31\00:41:24.08
or pre-hypertensive
became and I'm now normal.
00:41:24.11\00:41:27.32
And that is why I encourage
my patients to use food
00:41:27.35\00:41:30.42
as medicine.
00:41:30.45\00:41:31.79
When did you
become so passionate?
00:41:31.82\00:41:33.22
Was it around that
time that you became?
00:41:33.25\00:41:34.99
Ten years ago,
00:41:35.02\00:41:36.36
so I have always been
00:41:36.39\00:41:37.73
vegetarian for many, many years.
00:41:37.76\00:41:39.56
I've been through
the Adventist system,
00:41:39.59\00:41:40.96
high school, college,
medical school and everything.
00:41:41.00\00:41:43.06
Okay.
00:41:43.10\00:41:44.43
So vegetarian, that's lacto-ovo.
00:41:44.47\00:41:47.10
But 10 years ago,
00:41:47.14\00:41:48.47
I changed my focus and
became just plant-based.
00:41:48.50\00:41:51.27
Got you.
00:41:51.31\00:41:52.64
Then I improved my health.
00:41:52.67\00:41:54.08
And I started to share
00:41:54.11\00:41:55.44
the same thing with my patients,
00:41:55.48\00:41:57.21
practice the same way.
00:41:57.25\00:41:58.58
And I have a lot of patients
who are enjoying better health.
00:41:58.61\00:42:02.28
I have a gentleman recently,
he came into the practice,
00:42:02.32\00:42:05.95
was on blood pressure
medication for 30 years.
00:42:05.99\00:42:10.03
For 30 years?
00:42:10.06\00:42:12.06
He came and he
said, "Dr. Cooper,
00:42:12.09\00:42:13.76
I want to be off medication."
00:42:13.80\00:42:15.86
So what we did, we put him,
00:42:15.90\00:42:17.30
you know, in 12
Weeks to Wellness program.
00:42:17.33\00:42:20.40
And in four weeks,
he got off his drugs.
00:42:20.44\00:42:24.37
In four weeks? Four weeks.
00:42:24.41\00:42:26.54
And he has remained off
blood pressure medication
00:42:26.57\00:42:29.34
and is doing fantastic.
00:42:29.38\00:42:31.61
Blood pressure is so normal.
00:42:31.65\00:42:32.98
Praise the Lord.
00:42:33.01\00:42:34.35
So food can
actually be your medicine,
00:42:34.38\00:42:36.85
you just have to be disciplined.
00:42:36.89\00:42:38.89
Yeah.
00:42:38.92\00:42:40.26
And that's the hard part.
00:42:40.29\00:42:41.79
Let's check on our dish
here and see where we are.
00:42:41.82\00:42:43.29
Yes, so you're talking.
00:42:43.32\00:42:44.66
That's right.
Let's see where we are?
00:42:44.69\00:42:46.09
I set this over here.
00:42:46.13\00:42:47.46
Let's lower that somewhat,
00:42:47.50\00:42:48.83
can you lower the
heat for me, Jason?
00:42:48.86\00:42:50.20
I sure can.
00:42:50.23\00:42:51.57
Yeah, just lower that.
00:42:51.60\00:42:53.37
Yeah.
00:42:53.40\00:42:54.87
It is coming together nicely.
00:42:54.90\00:42:57.11
Yes, it smells amazing.
00:42:57.14\00:42:58.47
But I don't know
that we're gonna be able
00:42:58.51\00:43:00.24
to keep this cooking
for 30 minutes on camera.
00:43:00.28\00:43:03.04
Yeah, I don't think so either.
00:43:03.08\00:43:04.41
But, Jason, we do
have some pre-prepared.
00:43:04.45\00:43:07.12
Which is my favorite thing.
00:43:07.15\00:43:08.48
And I want you to try that.
00:43:08.52\00:43:09.85
So let's fetch that.
00:43:09.88\00:43:11.55
And, Jason, you're
gonna try that for me.
00:43:11.59\00:43:13.36
That's right.
00:43:13.39\00:43:15.22
I'm gonna take a
little bit from over here.
00:43:15.26\00:43:21.16
And you tell me what you think.
00:43:21.20\00:43:22.53
Nice piece of tofu there.
00:43:22.56\00:43:24.37
It had some carrot.
00:43:24.40\00:43:25.73
Yeah, I need to get a potato.
00:43:25.77\00:43:29.67
All right. Let's
see what we've got here.
00:43:29.70\00:43:31.04
All right, tell me
what do you think, Jason?
00:43:31.07\00:43:32.57
What do you think?
00:43:37.08\00:43:38.78
It's flavorful. Yes.
00:43:38.81\00:43:40.58
Now if you were
Jamaican, in Jamaica,
00:43:40.62\00:43:42.68
we put this Scotch
bonnet pepper to this.
00:43:42.72\00:43:45.89
Oh, that's
authentic Jamaican curry.
00:43:45.92\00:43:48.86
Yeah.
00:43:48.89\00:43:50.23
I like that.
00:43:50.26\00:43:51.59
I like jerk style seasoning too.
00:43:51.63\00:43:54.20
Next time I come back,
00:43:54.23\00:43:55.56
I'll do the jerk for you, Jason.
00:43:55.60\00:43:57.07
I'm looking forward to it.
00:43:57.10\00:43:58.43
All right.
00:43:58.47\00:44:01.00
Let's lower this.
00:44:01.04\00:44:03.81
It's almost ready.
00:44:03.84\00:44:05.74
Okay.
00:44:05.77\00:44:07.88
Very good.
00:44:07.91\00:44:09.24
So, Jason, are you going
to buy one of the cookbooks.
00:44:09.28\00:44:13.88
I'm gonna wait for you
to come back and cook it.
00:44:13.92\00:44:15.98
All right, that's
good enough for me.
00:44:16.02\00:44:18.25
But I like you going
for that commitment though.
00:44:18.29\00:44:21.16
I like that.
00:44:21.19\00:44:22.52
All right, Jason.
00:44:22.56\00:44:23.89
This looks good.
00:44:23.93\00:44:25.69
All right, so
this is almost done.
00:44:25.73\00:44:27.60
You can see how
beautiful it looks.
00:44:27.63\00:44:29.93
We will simmer a little longer
while we cook something else.
00:44:29.96\00:44:35.54
So what do you want me to cook?
00:44:35.57\00:44:36.91
This goes nicely with rice.
00:44:36.94\00:44:39.77
That sounds good with some rice.
00:44:39.81\00:44:41.14
That's muddy brown rice.
00:44:41.18\00:44:43.28
That's gonna be our next recipe.
00:44:43.31\00:44:45.31
What's in it?
00:44:45.35\00:44:46.68
All right, let's
see what's in it.
00:44:46.72\00:44:48.05
So where do we
start with this recipe?
00:45:17.91\00:45:20.42
This is a fantastic recipe.
00:45:20.45\00:45:22.38
We're going to be
using basmati brown rice.
00:45:22.42\00:45:24.39
Okay.
00:45:24.42\00:45:25.75
A lot of people don't
know how to cook the rice
00:45:25.79\00:45:27.26
and how to make it flavorful.
00:45:27.29\00:45:28.62
Okay.
00:45:28.66\00:45:29.99
So we're gonna add
some vegetable to it,
00:45:30.03\00:45:31.36
give it some
life and some flavor.
00:45:31.39\00:45:33.13
Nice.
00:45:33.16\00:45:34.50
So we're gonna
start with our carrot.
00:45:34.53\00:45:35.86
I'm going to
shred some carrot here
00:45:35.90\00:45:37.47
to get two cups.
00:45:37.50\00:45:39.03
Okay, so it's gonna be
two cups of shredded carrots.
00:45:39.07\00:45:42.94
Let's see how
much I can get here.
00:45:42.97\00:45:44.87
And, you know,
00:45:49.04\00:45:50.38
carrots are
really good in vitamin A,
00:45:50.41\00:45:53.15
beta carotenoid, fiber,
00:45:53.18\00:45:56.18
and just good for
vision, for health.
00:45:56.22\00:45:59.09
Yeah, definitely
need some carrots
00:45:59.12\00:46:00.59
to persevere my vision.
00:46:00.62\00:46:02.22
To fight
cancer, it is fantastic.
00:46:02.26\00:46:05.83
So we're gonna
add it to our recipe.
00:46:05.86\00:46:07.73
Carrots are good for
fighting cancer, right?
00:46:07.76\00:46:09.23
Yeah, well the beta
carotenoid is antioxidant.
00:46:09.26\00:46:11.53
Oh, got you.
00:46:11.57\00:46:12.90
And you know, that
prevent cell death.
00:46:12.93\00:46:15.10
And protect the cell
from oxidation, from cancer.
00:46:15.14\00:46:17.81
Right.
00:46:17.84\00:46:19.17
So these are wonderful.
00:46:19.21\00:46:20.54
So we're gonna shred some here.
00:46:20.58\00:46:22.34
Two cups, and get that into or,
00:46:22.38\00:46:25.55
you want to turn on
the stove for me please.
00:46:25.58\00:46:28.15
Yes, ma'am.
00:46:28.18\00:46:29.52
Okay, so let's get going.
00:46:29.55\00:46:30.89
And you can probably add...
00:46:34.42\00:46:36.22
On low, correct?
00:46:36.26\00:46:37.59
Yes. And add the oil there.
00:46:37.63\00:46:39.16
One teaspoon full of oil.
00:46:39.19\00:46:42.20
I'm going to measure this
to see if I have two cups.
00:46:42.23\00:46:46.53
Okay.
00:46:46.57\00:46:47.90
All right, you've been
making some really good recipes.
00:46:51.37\00:46:55.04
I love to cook.
00:46:55.08\00:46:57.08
And I say you
because you've been doing it.
00:46:57.11\00:46:59.51
I think we, come on.
00:46:59.55\00:47:01.18
You've been doing
it, I've been tasting it.
00:47:01.22\00:47:03.28
But I think this is
a great partnership.
00:47:03.32\00:47:05.15
Yes.
00:47:05.19\00:47:06.62
And we're discussing
food as medicine here.
00:47:06.65\00:47:08.49
So we have two cups.
00:47:08.52\00:47:09.92
We are then gonna
add this to onion.
00:47:09.96\00:47:12.03
Okay. All right.
00:47:12.06\00:47:13.80
And then the garlic,
00:47:13.83\00:47:15.16
you can add the
garlic for me in a minute.
00:47:15.20\00:47:17.43
And I'm gonna
chop these broccoli.
00:47:17.47\00:47:22.87
Okay, finely chopped.
00:47:22.90\00:47:26.17
Gonna get two cups as well.
00:47:26.21\00:47:29.11
When you're done with
that, you're gonna add this.
00:47:29.14\00:47:32.35
You want to stir that a
little bit until translucent,
00:47:32.38\00:47:35.22
first before you add that.
00:47:35.25\00:47:37.29
So I'm getting you
cooking here, Jason.
00:47:37.32\00:47:39.49
Yes.
00:47:39.52\00:47:40.86
Do you cook at home, Jason?
00:47:40.89\00:47:42.22
Yes, I do cook at home.
00:47:42.26\00:47:43.59
All right.
00:47:43.63\00:47:44.96
I cook pretty well at
home if I must say so myself.
00:47:44.99\00:47:46.33
Fantastic.
00:47:46.36\00:47:47.70
It's not always the healthy.
00:47:47.73\00:47:49.06
But that's what
I'm here today for
00:47:49.10\00:47:50.43
is to learn
health aspect of cooking.
00:47:50.47\00:47:52.83
Exactly, learn
some great, delicious,
00:47:52.87\00:47:55.90
healthy recipes
that you can use at home.
00:47:55.94\00:47:58.57
And as we mentioned, Jason,
we're using food as medicine.
00:47:58.61\00:48:01.51
Yes. There you go.
00:48:01.54\00:48:03.08
So you can eat and be healthy.
00:48:03.11\00:48:06.92
All right, Jason,
you can add that there.
00:48:06.95\00:48:09.28
The carrot, two cups.
00:48:09.32\00:48:11.29
And I'm gonna get
to you in a minute,
00:48:11.32\00:48:13.32
this finely chopped,
two cups of broccoli.
00:48:13.36\00:48:17.39
This is very easy, very
fast, and very delicious.
00:48:17.43\00:48:24.10
Nice.
00:48:24.13\00:48:25.47
All right, so you're
gonna have a lot of fiber.
00:48:25.50\00:48:27.37
May I have measuring cup?
00:48:27.40\00:48:28.94
Yes.
00:48:28.97\00:48:30.31
Alrighty, so I'm
gonna add my broccoli.
00:48:30.34\00:48:32.17
Let's see if I
have two cups here.
00:48:32.21\00:48:34.01
Just keep stirring that.
00:48:37.05\00:48:39.28
Broccoli helps
with osteoporosis.
00:48:39.31\00:48:41.48
You're learning. Okay.
00:48:41.52\00:48:42.85
You're learning. All right.
00:48:42.88\00:48:44.29
I'm getting down.
00:48:44.32\00:48:45.65
Remember because of
the high calcium content.
00:48:45.69\00:48:48.29
Yes. Right?
00:48:48.32\00:48:49.66
It's a cruciferous vegetable
00:48:49.69\00:48:51.03
that is really good
to fight cancer as well.
00:48:51.06\00:48:53.90
All right?
00:48:53.93\00:48:55.26
So let's add in the broccoli.
00:48:55.30\00:48:58.73
We're almost there.
00:48:58.77\00:49:00.20
All right.
00:49:00.24\00:49:02.67
You'll never
believe what I made to eat
00:49:02.70\00:49:05.54
when I was like
five or six years old?
00:49:05.57\00:49:07.44
Give me a break.
What did you make, Jason?
00:49:07.48\00:49:08.91
All right, I
made a gourmet ketchup
00:49:08.94\00:49:11.28
and raisin sandwich.
00:49:11.31\00:49:12.78
Ooh! I wonder how that tasted?
It was absolutely disgusting.
00:49:12.81\00:49:15.28
It was disgusting. Oh, my God!
00:49:15.32\00:49:17.09
The only reason why I did it
00:49:17.12\00:49:18.45
was because I got
smart with my brother,
00:49:18.49\00:49:19.99
and he got mad at me
and when I was hungry,
00:49:20.02\00:49:22.69
he didn't want to
make me anything to eat.
00:49:22.72\00:49:24.06
So you tried to
make it for yourself?
00:49:24.09\00:49:25.43
Yeah, I had to
be the independent
00:49:25.46\00:49:26.90
five or six year old
00:49:26.93\00:49:28.26
that I was at
that time, you know?
00:49:28.30\00:49:29.63
Good. Good. And you
say you like to cook.
00:49:29.66\00:49:31.00
So now you're doing some
more delicious things, right?
00:49:31.03\00:49:33.34
Well, now I'm doing
some delicious things.
00:49:33.37\00:49:35.64
I wouldn't
consider that delicious.
00:49:35.67\00:49:38.41
Two cups.
00:49:38.44\00:49:39.77
All right, let's add
in. You mean this again?
00:49:39.81\00:49:41.34
No, that's it.
00:49:41.38\00:49:42.71
We're gonna add
in our garlic there.
00:49:42.74\00:49:44.35
All right.
00:49:44.38\00:49:46.11
Yeah, I'll tell you what?
00:49:46.15\00:49:47.48
That ketchup and
raisin was just horrible.
00:49:47.52\00:49:49.12
Oh, my goodness.
00:49:49.15\00:49:50.49
Let's add this as
our savory seasoned salt.
00:49:50.52\00:49:53.62
All right.
00:49:53.66\00:49:54.99
We're going to just add
in some vegetable stock.
00:49:55.02\00:49:58.43
Okay.
00:49:58.46\00:49:59.79
And then we're
ready to add our rice.
00:49:59.83\00:50:01.76
It's just very simple. Nice.
00:50:01.80\00:50:03.57
So we don't want to
overcook the vegetables.
00:50:03.60\00:50:06.07
When you overcook,
you are losing nutrients.
00:50:06.10\00:50:08.97
So let's stir that in.
00:50:09.00\00:50:11.51
And that really
defeats the purpose.
00:50:11.54\00:50:12.87
Exactly.
00:50:12.91\00:50:14.24
You want to make sure
00:50:14.28\00:50:15.61
you're enjoying all
the nutrients in your meal.
00:50:15.64\00:50:18.21
That's right.
00:50:18.25\00:50:19.58
So let's stir it up together,
00:50:19.61\00:50:20.95
we're going to add
maybe teaspoon of salt.
00:50:20.98\00:50:22.58
So I'm going to do a
pinch of salt, sea salt.
00:50:22.62\00:50:25.15
Sea salt is
healthier, more mineral.
00:50:25.19\00:50:29.32
All right, so let's
stir that in, Jason.
00:50:29.36\00:50:31.56
And essentially, it is colorful,
00:50:31.59\00:50:35.06
but essentially that is it.
00:50:35.10\00:50:36.87
Oh, wonderful.
00:50:36.90\00:50:38.23
Right? Yes.
00:50:38.27\00:50:39.60
And then you can prepare
that with your curry tofu,
00:50:39.63\00:50:43.97
with your, any
protein that you like.
00:50:44.01\00:50:47.48
Got you. And that is healthy.
00:50:47.51\00:50:50.55
Nice. All right.
00:50:50.58\00:50:52.51
So and then how
long do you normally
00:50:52.55\00:50:54.45
wanna let this sit on the stove?
00:50:54.48\00:50:55.82
Oh, maybe about
over five minutes or so.
00:50:55.85\00:50:58.12
Above five minutes. Okay.
00:50:58.15\00:51:00.76
Because remember, the
rice is already pre-cooked.
00:51:00.79\00:51:02.72
Yes.
00:51:02.76\00:51:04.09
And do you remember
how to cook the brown rice?
00:51:04.13\00:51:06.59
Brown basmati rice?
00:51:06.63\00:51:08.66
No, you have to
fill me in on that one.
00:51:08.70\00:51:11.33
It's one cup of rice
to two cups of water.
00:51:11.37\00:51:15.50
Okay, so it's two to one ratio.
00:51:15.54\00:51:18.01
Because the rice, the
brown rice has more fiber,
00:51:18.04\00:51:20.24
it takes a long time to cook.
00:51:20.28\00:51:21.74
And as we mentioned,
we need the fiber, right?
00:51:21.78\00:51:25.31
Fiber tend to lower
the blood sugar rise,
00:51:25.35\00:51:29.92
fiber is great to
lower cholesterol,
00:51:29.95\00:51:32.69
and fiber is
good for constipation.
00:51:32.72\00:51:34.62
I have patients coming
in, "Doctor I'm constipated.
00:51:34.66\00:51:37.29
What can you give me?"
00:51:37.33\00:51:38.69
Okay, so I'll ask now, tell me,
00:51:38.73\00:51:40.70
"Are you eating fruits,
vegetables, nuts and seeds?"
00:51:40.73\00:51:43.26
"No, Doc."
00:51:43.30\00:51:44.63
So then of
course what would I say?
00:51:44.67\00:51:46.90
Well, you need
more fiber in your diet.
00:51:46.94\00:51:48.70
Exactly. For
healthy female you need...
00:51:48.74\00:51:51.97
A female needs about
28 grams of fiber per day,
00:51:52.01\00:51:55.94
and for a male about 35 grams.
00:51:55.98\00:51:59.28
Thirty five
grams? A day, at least.
00:51:59.31\00:52:01.65
I might have to
check my diet for 35 grams.
00:52:01.68\00:52:05.19
I don't know if I...
00:52:05.22\00:52:06.55
You see, I need
more brown rice then.
00:52:06.59\00:52:08.62
You need more brown
rice, you need more vegetables,
00:52:08.66\00:52:11.59
more fruits, seeds, nuts.
00:52:11.63\00:52:14.90
All that, that's
great fiber content.
00:52:14.93\00:52:18.20
So I'll tell the patient,
you need to read the label
00:52:18.23\00:52:20.17
and start adding the fiber up.
00:52:20.20\00:52:22.67
But also increasing consumption
of water is important.
00:52:22.70\00:52:25.11
Yeah.
00:52:25.14\00:52:26.47
Because if
they're packed with fiber
00:52:26.51\00:52:28.28
and they're not
drinking enough water,
00:52:28.31\00:52:30.85
they can still
become constipated.
00:52:30.88\00:52:33.48
So they have to ingest
00:52:33.52\00:52:35.92
at least eight ounce
glasses of water per day
00:52:35.95\00:52:39.52
if they're healthy, if
they have good heart health,
00:52:39.55\00:52:41.86
and good kidney function.
00:52:41.89\00:52:43.29
Got you. All right?
00:52:43.32\00:52:44.66
Now, you do health
seminars and stuff too, right?
00:52:44.69\00:52:46.03
I do health seminars all over,
internationally and nationally.
00:52:46.06\00:52:49.96
Wow, okay.
00:52:50.00\00:52:52.20
And how long have you
been doing the health seminars?
00:52:52.23\00:52:56.17
Oh, maybe the
last 10 years or so.
00:52:56.20\00:52:59.77
Jason, I think that is...
Yeah, that is coming together.
00:52:59.81\00:53:01.78
I've stirred it
enough times there?
00:53:01.81\00:53:03.95
Yes. Okay, it's time to...
00:53:03.98\00:53:05.31
You know, recently, Jason,
I was in Ghana, Ghana, Africa.
00:53:05.35\00:53:08.65
And I took a group
of doctors or nurses...
00:53:08.68\00:53:11.32
You can turn it off.
00:53:11.35\00:53:13.02
And in one week,
we saw 3,000 patients.
00:53:13.05\00:53:17.93
You saw 3,000 patients in Ghana?
00:53:17.96\00:53:21.33
Yes. We
baptized over 300 people.
00:53:21.36\00:53:25.07
Wow!
00:53:25.10\00:53:26.43
We did health seminar every day
00:53:26.47\00:53:27.80
after the clinic health seminar,
00:53:27.84\00:53:29.20
we were on the radio
about five radio stations,
00:53:29.24\00:53:31.24
we've reached half a million
00:53:31.27\00:53:33.34
to one million
inhabitants of Ghana,
00:53:33.38\00:53:36.41
and we erected 10 churches.
00:53:36.44\00:53:39.18
Wow! God is great.
00:53:39.21\00:53:40.68
With this health message
we have to empower others,
00:53:40.72\00:53:45.82
not only for physical health,
00:53:45.85\00:53:48.46
but we need to empower
them for spiritual health.
00:53:48.49\00:53:52.36
And that is why I
enjoy what I'm doing
00:53:52.39\00:53:55.60
because my patients are exposed
00:53:55.63\00:53:58.20
to how to keep
their bodies healthy,
00:53:58.23\00:54:01.10
physically, mentally,
socially, but also spiritually.
00:54:01.14\00:54:04.71
And health is wealth. Right.
00:54:04.74\00:54:06.27
Four patients, five
patients got baptized recently
00:54:06.31\00:54:09.14
from my office.
00:54:09.18\00:54:10.51
Wow!
00:54:10.55\00:54:11.88
So we are in the
business of saving lives.
00:54:11.91\00:54:14.48
Yes, yes.
00:54:14.52\00:54:15.85
For here and for eternity.

So what all did we make today?
00:55:18.71\00:55:20.62
We made a delicious
cashew nut brown rice loaf.
00:55:20.65\00:55:24.09
Okay.
00:55:24.12\00:55:25.45
Filled with lots of protein,
00:55:25.49\00:55:26.82
11 grams of protein in a serving
00:55:26.86\00:55:29.62
and only 300 calories.
00:55:29.66\00:55:31.26
And those nice onions in there
gonna act like flavor crystals.
00:55:31.29\00:55:35.16
Sage, fantastic.
00:55:35.20\00:55:36.53
And then we did
our basmati brown rice
00:55:36.56\00:55:38.87
with vegetable.
00:55:38.90\00:55:40.24
Okay.
00:55:40.27\00:55:41.60
Very delicious, very
colorful, lots of vitamins.
00:55:41.64\00:55:44.67
So it's nutrient dense.
00:55:44.71\00:55:46.04
Nutrient dense, calorie low
00:55:46.07\00:55:48.28
because we had only 70
calories per serving there.
00:55:48.31\00:55:51.88
Okay.
00:55:51.91\00:55:53.25
Then our mushroom
gravy, very delicious,
00:55:53.28\00:55:56.69
went well with our loaf,
00:55:56.72\00:55:58.22
but can be used
with just about anything.
00:55:58.25\00:56:00.22
Okay. Okay. Right?
00:56:00.26\00:56:01.59
And then we had our
roasted vegetable delight
00:56:01.62\00:56:04.19
with lots of vegetables,
with tofu, very delicious,
00:56:04.23\00:56:08.16
120 calories in that
recipe there per serving.
00:56:08.20\00:56:13.97
Alrighty. Okay.
00:56:14.00\00:56:15.34
And then, of course,
our coconut curry tofu,
00:56:15.37\00:56:18.34
very delicious.
00:56:18.37\00:56:19.71
And Jamaican will love curry.
00:56:19.74\00:56:21.64
Yes. And it was
very flavorful too.
00:56:21.68\00:56:23.51
Yes, yes.
00:56:23.55\00:56:25.71
When you start
talking about the food,
00:56:25.75\00:56:27.52

use food as medicine.
00:56:31.19\00:56:32.75
We went through
some of my patients
00:56:32.79\00:56:34.22
who did well,
00:56:34.26\00:56:35.59
with this type of
plant-based nutrition.
00:56:35.62\00:56:38.19
We looked at your cookbook,
we talked about your cookbook.
00:56:38.23\00:56:40.80
The wellness center. Yes, yes.
00:56:40.83\00:56:43.20

could contact you,
00:56:43.23\00:56:45.37

book you for these seminars

it's important to eat
00:56:49.17\00:56:50.94
a nutritious, well balanced meal
00:56:50.97\00:56:53.04
but it's got to
be delicious, too.
00:56:53.07\00:56:54.41
That's right.
00:56:54.44\00:56:55.78
And they can
actually come to the center
00:56:55.81\00:56:57.15
if they want to
reverse diseases.
