So when we say we're partners in crime, we're in good, clean crime. 04:58 Getting preventing prevented it is better than trying to diagnose it and try to get rid 05:03 of it. It's always better to prevent and to repair the fortunate we can now begin to 05:09 do something about arresting the disease, these chronic diseases and actually 05:14 reversing them, heating them, providing curative aspects to OK, a concept called lifestyle 05:20 medicine, OK, well, that could happen. That food be thy medicine and medicine. Yeah, 05:23 it's part of it tonight. Okay. We're talking about and intensive 3rd. Pretty lace 05:30 Give the body a chance to begin to heal itself.

Yes, nice. >> NASA is not a nice check. 06:03 Yes, nice and bright. But those of you on the radio, you're missing this jacket. I 06:08 made a mistake. When I went to Californians that pink and the women in California said no, 06:15 it's you. She yes. Well, think that, you know, aside from some of the visual aspect 06:19 site, right? Let me tell you, she's a top executive. She is a woman with a big heart. OK? 06:29 And she has a sparkling personality. All OK? She made the big quantum loop fall off 06:38 fledgling life. The medicine concepts some 8, 9, years ago and turn it into. A national. 06:47 Recognizable organization. Yes, and we we're going to have you can really unwrap our 06:52 second hour for us. Yes, I look forward to that and I'm looking forward to that. Just 06:56 give us. I know you you've got a wonderful reference. Tell us a little bit more about you. 07:04 well, as as Han said, I've been the executive director of the American College of 07:08 Lifestyle, Medicine for 8 and half years now. >> Okay and ACL. as the 07:14 nation's medical professional Association for Physicians and Allied Health professionals 07:20 who are truly passionate is Hahn said about treating root causes of disease. So rather 07:27 than simply diagnosing symptoms in treating those symptoms with ever-increasing 07:32 quantities of pills and procedures, which is Hahn said does not cure the disease. 07:37 Lifestyle medicine is about the use of evidence-based, therapeutic lifestyle 07:41 intervention to treat in reverse already existing disease. And if the dose, if 07:47 the therapeutic doses efficacious for treatment reversal, then prevention is 07:52 the natural byproduct. So it's considered by many to be the fastest growing medical 07:56 professional association in the United States. Today and emerging all over the world 08:01 with now medical professional associations representing the field on every continent 08:05 around the world. >> I'm looking forward to learning more about that every 08:08 time doctor deal comes, he brings someone with him, use that word and efficacious in 08:14 their field and and very well informed. Thank you for being here tonight. I'm looking 08:17 forward to it. I know we preparation for the program. I saw the graphics going to talk 08:22 about in the second now. And I'm just I always learn something always. And last 08:27 time you were here, you really challenge me to get my more bq potential. One. apple pie said 08:34 he didn't Apple. Instead, it's not a real potato, not the potato chips. working on it. 08:41 >> You work a I reminds me every now and you know, this whole thing is not about 08:47 perfection anyway, OK? But improvement, right? OK, getting on the track and you 08:52 are on the track. Good. And I like potatoes, especially when my wife makes it. But I would 08:56 also remind our audience tonight you have a book in front of you, Honey. And 09:00 tonight we have a free offer. Call entitle you turn now it's a free offer for the first 100 09:08 people that call in. If you call in tonight, you're going to be one of the first 100. 09:14 You've got to be quick on isle to get that book. Our call Center is Open tonight for the 09:18 first 100 and then after that, it's available in digital downloads. Now you call 6, 1, 09:25 8, 627-4651. And you might be the first one. You might be the second, but you'll be 09:33 among the first 100 to get a physical copy of that. But if you miss that, it's going to 09:37 be available in digital. Download. And so we'll try to make that available to you. 09:41 But in the second hour, there's some more downloads that we'll talk about that 09:45 that time Bush, I won't introduce prematurely, but a U turn is a great title. Yeah, 09:50 because you just alluded to is you can change the direction of your life, change the 09:55 direction of your future. It what you call interventional are preventative medicine. Am 10:04 I am I getting close? Yeah. If you are, you know, we're talking really about 10:07 intelligence self care. It comes to us through education. Yes, intensive education like 10:16 you, the chip program. 35 hours of education. Once people understand this, it's 10:22 much easier to begin to make some of the change us and turn them into habits because its 10:29 habits that determine health habits to determine our disease habits is really key 10:38 behavior change. Got on the spiritual plan. How habits determine, uh, you know, 10:44 action determine habit happen, determine carriage that carried to term a destiny that 10:48 so you're talking about that same thing along the same line of the plan of health. But 10:53 before we dive into this informative program, let me remind you invite someone to 10:55 watch the program with you. If you're driving, turn the volume up on in may not be 10:59 able to hit record in the car, but if you have a way this program will be shown again. 11:04 But I think you should encourage your friends and family members. There may be 11:09 someone in your home that may be struggling with an illness. Yeah, this program could 11:12 reveal to them something educational, some decision that they can make to begin to 11:18 move their lives in the right direction. Or as the books as if they're going the wrong 11:21 direction, you to turn. I have a nephew. He's only 37 years old and has diabetes and high 11:32 blood I'm going to take on books. When I go to Florida for my nephew. 11:39 >> So diabetes at 37 years old that sealed his oh, yes, it can be reversed, though. What 11:42 kind would that be considered? What kind of diabetes within? Well, as you see, onset 11:49 diabetes for type 2 diabetes. That's the most common. >> Diabetes that we 11:54 representing, about 90% of all We can turn this off within weeks just help people 12:02 understand that they have the power making some dietary changes getting exercise 12:09 programs I offered losing some weight and that makes all the difference. 12:14 >> Wow. And if I may add long before there was COVID-19, we have been talking about the 12:21 looming global pandemic of type 2 and it's true that you can no longer even refer to 12:27 type 2 diabetes as adult onset because so many children are now being diagnosed with this 12:33 degenerative condition. It really is. It is something that others such urgency for 12:39 us to address it. But the good news is is that it is a dietary related. Yeah, a 12:46 degenerative condition. And so not only is it preventable, but often treatable. And if 12:51 caught early enough reversible through the power of food is medicine and lifestyle 12:57 medicine. >> Just imagine diabetes has tripled in the last 30 years. 13:04 It's a becoming a pandemic and its own. Now try right every it. First. Every. Baby born 13:12 out of 3, one out of 3, but become a diabetic in a lifetime If the trends 13:18 continue the So the interruption of the trend is what this program is about. 13:24 Correct. And then, of course, you have to worry about cancer. Breast cancer rates. 13:27 The incidence rates have gone up dramatically. The 50, 60 years. We have seen heart 13:34 disease not really declining very much either. And then you have to worry about excess 13:39 weight. You know, I mean, you know it today, only one out of 4 adults in America are 13:46 actually regular normal weight. out of 4 people all regular way. That means 3 out 13:50 of 4 Americans are either. >> Overweight or obese. Something has happened to 13:55 them. It all started in the 1970's. But on diet began to change. Like you mentioned, 14:00 people shift if and potatoes. attempts we shifted from water to soda pops. See this with 14:11 the changes that took place. But we no longer eat food, but we know it industrialize and 14:17 there may for taste for convenience that made for profit. That's why many years 14:24 ago there was a commercial. The I will mention that the chip, but the commercial Hoke 14:29 was I bet you but you can see just one child that you can eat. Just one. And these are 14:37 things that are orchestrated and and doctored up in a factory so that you can teach 14:42 us one. Yeah, you see this where the foods that we use to rely on into the 1970's and 14:50 everything began to change gradually. And then we developed engine neared foods, 14:55 taste sensations, difficult to resist almost addictive seat. And so that's why I think we 15:03 see today a in crease in these chronic diseases. And that's why we feel we need do 15:09 something about. Wow. Wow. Well, let's first of all, lay some foundations. I think that 15:14 all of us week, you know, we all travel. We begin to look at the world and it has its 15:18 metamorphosis ising. You made a very powerful point. How things are becoming more and 15:22 more prevalent among younger and younger children. When we grew up, we were outside 15:29 playing and jumping role not That's right. You know, we we breathed outside today. 15:35 primarily quiet. >> Because children are held hostage by Yeah. And they're 15:41 becoming obese couch potatoes before they have a double digit in their age. So let's 15:45 talk about some of this. Why is our nation and our world being. I love the word facing 15:53 a chronic pandemic of unhealthy lifestyles? Well, I think you'd be probably 15:59 talking about some of these major factors rate. Yes, one of the 6 factors that you 16:04 always seem to emphasize. It's such an elegant educational way. Yeah, the American 16:12 culture. That's what we really we really focus on the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine, 16:17 lifestyle, medicine is conventional medicine. It's all evidence based. 16:22 >> And it's really about shifting to a first treatment approach that attempts to 16:28 identify and eradicate the root cause of disease. Before then shifting to 16:33 pharmaceuticals and and those 6 pillars are a whole food plant. Predominant dietary 16:38 lifestyle, regular physical activity. So something like this? Oh, absolutely anything 16:43 that grows from the ground and is close to nature's packages possible because those are the 16:49 foods that are fiber filled in nutrient dense and accident. Rich, you know, those are the 16:54 foods that will protect health and fight disease and it's only the foods that grow from 16:59 the ground there fiber filled. And so that's why we always speak to the fact that while 17:04 all 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine are very, very important, foundational to 17:07 health food, does Trump all? But to your point physical activity so important and we 17:14 have really evolved ins into such a sedentary population and then stress management and 17:21 restorative sleep. The avoidance of risky substances and then the power of positive 17:27 social connection and our lives and purpose. And so those are really the 6 pillars 17:32 that are foundational to optimal health or lack thereof. But as this beautiful 17:37 plate food represents it, is that it really we are overfed. Yes, undernourished again. 17:46 Fiber deficient. Nutrient starved and we've been reaping the consequence of that. But 17:52 the good news is, is that even though nearly 90% of all dollars spent on health care 17:59 in the United States. And certainly in many parts of the world are paying for the 18:04 treatment of conditions rooted in poor lifestyle choices. And that's good news because it 18:09 means we can do something about it before it's too late. And that's why this is such a 18:15 wake-up call. And I think why we're seeing such tremendous growth and the American 18:19 College of Lifestyle Medicine in the field and interest from the public as well. So when 18:25 you're talking about treating the conditions are the symptoms, right? It talking 18:29 about to patching up. >> The symptoms that people make people feel better 18:34 without necessarily attacking the cause is right. >> Well, when you even look at 18:39 type 2 diabetes, which, you know, the point that you made Hines, now the trends show 18:44 that every child born in 2000 or thereafter. You know, one in 3 will become diabetic. 18:51 Only 6% of our U.S. population is considered metabolic Lee healthy. If this 6%, is 18:58 metabolically healthy in the U.S. very true in many parts of the world. And so when we 19:05 look at health care spending in the U.S., for example, we spend 2.3 times more on health 19:12 care for someone with type 2 diabetes and yet those ever-increasing quantities of 19:19 medications don't cure the disease yet. Lifestyle medicine intervention can not 19:26 only halt the progression, but often times can reverse the disease. So that's why it's so 19:33 so incredibly important that we chef our whole health care system really shift our 19:39 current disease and disability care system. And the one focus truly on health care. 19:46 >> Yeah. Let me sort of reinforce that to hear, you know, the person in America 19:55 Spence $13,500 a year for medical care. On average. As a benefit, families can no 20:04 longer sustain this. As a matter of fact, companies. The number one cause of bankruptcy 20:11 in America today as medical cost of the employees and the medical cause of the owners. 20:18 And, you know, that is a very powerful point. Talk about our insurance and what they're 20:22 encouraging us to do. Well, caught passes without Give us. What do they give you Well, 20:29 that they want you to walk to 10,000 steps, matter of fact, if you don't do these required 20:35 exercise, the fuel required lifestyle. You don't get enjoy, get insurance. They 20:41 said we insurance can be counted because you haven't you. We're noticing that 20:43 you're not walk. Cannot. And trackable and these are legitimate. You can just write 20:51 and I walk 5 steps 10,000 steps. They said make sure you have a device right now 20:57 actually in the truck and we could keep her. And then nowadays with the phones, your 21:01 phone right away keeps a consistent record of how many miles he I remember not too 21:05 long ago. I was in Las Vegas for tech tech show. And I decided I was going to go. It 21:13 was a beautiful sunny evening and I decided I'm going just going walk back to the hotel 21:16 from the Las Vegas Convention Center with us all kuz attacks and many of our guys. 53 again 21:20 Lent. I have no And I finished the evening. They said you walked 13 miles today. I felt 21:32 that the next has like when I >> I have muscles. I didn't even know. Haha, thank the 21:40 Lord I had on my Murphy sugars, which are very, very comfortable on design for good 21:44 walking because it so much to see on that as you're walking back to the hotel was 21:47 distracting. But that's what we're talking about it. But I my body responded to and I 21:54 felt really, really the comeback butts. So I want to add one more thing that you 21:58 talked about here when you speaking to talk about how sometimes 90% of costs go to. 22:04 Go to an area of medicine that could be prevented. >> Absolutely not. Only 22:12 prevented, but often treated and potentially even reversed. We see that. And I mean, the 22:20 evidence is overwhelming in support of this. And so that gives us hope, you know, is we 22:26 as a nation teeter on the brink of health care costs and use bankruptcy again, that is 22:30 that's a good news to cystic in it. 80%, nearly 80% of all chronic disease is tied to our 22:38 lifestyle choices. What we eat, how we move, how we think. and then nearly 90% of 22:43 those dollars being spent on health care. And it isn't just United States. I mean, when we 22:48 look at the Middle East, for example, just an incredibly high levels of chronic disease 22:54 and obesity and so it isn't just it. This is a global problem because we have export 23:01 ID. The standard American diet the food manufacturers have capitalized on And as Michael 23:07 Pollan said, you walk into any grocery store and 80% of what's there is an edible food 23:13 like substance and not really food as God designed. So we must shift. Yeah, we are 23:22 consuming in products. >> Rather than foods has grown. And, you know, I think 23:29 the company that is giving up paying turn to your paycheck or you're working for it. The 23:35 doing the right thing making the employment subjected to becoming more aware of the 23:45 things that you need to do in terms of your personal lifestyle. That is, I think 23:49 the future and corporations in America are beginning to realize this. And this is not 23:54 just an exceptional case. That's basically what you find every day. Isn't it? 24:01 Corporations are interested? Oh, absolutely. Because. >> When we look at in in the 24:06 in the United States who's paying for health care and for whom is their immense profit 24:12 and optimal health. And that's what's really, really important. And it's 24:17 self-funded employers. So many employers, if they have at least 1000 employees or more 24:23 will be self funded. Yes, and they're responsible for covering those costs. really 24:28 when we step back and you know, I off as a Christian, even though the American 24:31 College of Lifestyle Medicine is a secular medical professional association. I'm 24:35 a person of faith. And I often say that our fiercest enemy could not have designed a more 24:42 insidious destructive force because when you look at our health care system, there's 24:47 just immense profit in disease. There isn't profit an optimal health. So the system 24:56 is very much designed to, you know, diagnose the L prescribe the pill and send the patient 25:04 home with the bill. As I quote And I love I'm quoting Honesdale there, too. 25:09 >> Diagnose the L okay. Prescribe the pill and send the patient home with the bill 25:14 and law 7 minutes. >> The other 7 minutes you have to use as a physician to 25:18 enter everything on your computer. That's I mean, that's what can you do 15 25:24 minutes So the airlines to delay medicine concept is trying to provide people with 25:30 2030, 40 ares on education and delivering it. Ideally in groups because you have been 25:37 social support. It's much more fun doing things together. When you change as a group 25:40 rate than alone. And so this brings me then to the issue that you just raced, Susan, 25:47 you mention to medical economics? Yes, I mean, why isn't? The society was the 25:59 culture promoting more fully these concepts off lifestyle medicine. But why is there 26:06 such a hindrance to what these concepts? You know, we, for instance, have published some 26:12 50 scientific papers on the efficacy of the less than most and approach too. These kind 26:16 of chronic diseases. Why do we embrace it I can tell you why. Well, Tommy, because it 26:22 doesn't match my bottom line. Profits. >> see if I could, if I could 26:26 give you a bill. Diagnosed. Hill and they give you the bill and I could make sure 26:34 that OK, if I could see 37 patients today, my profits this month will be better than 26:39 my profits last month. I don't have to educate you. I could keep you as I could keep us a 26:45 chronic patient because you have to keep coming back to me. I haven't really resolved 26:49 to issue what do. You create a dependency. That is right. You become I hate to say this uses 26:55 you become drug dealer rather than person who is concerned about my well-being. And that 27:02 unfortunately, I want to sound I want you know, label the whole medical feel that way. 27:06 But as I said in the very beginning of the program, you need to go on vacation rather 27:10 than sending your physician patient think about that. I just want to remind our 27:15 audience. But at the same time, you know, you came on pretty harshly there on the 27:21 medical profession. understand. And I the fairness and perhaps some of the 27:29 justification that often is. Appropriate validated but too much more than that milk a 27:36 week about this. If we would adopt a diet or a program, for instance, that looks at foods 27:44 has grown, right, You would not have the meat industry to be a friend they would not 27:49 support lies to medicine when you can actually get people off his medication, they would 27:55 you would not have the egg industry what they star Rich egg yolks to be really pushing 28:00 your program, would you you would not have the CE the soda pop industry really pushing 28:06 your lifetime. But it's a concept and really recommend drinking water, right? Man, 28:12 you see of all these hindrances and then you have these a truck processed for 28:17 it's the in effect, run for the engineer at Fort the taste sensations. You almost feel 28:22 like you are getting addicted to them. like you said, there's have times situations 28:26 where you cannot just eat one chip great. You know, really, honestly, you really can't 28:31 win. You just there's something about the way that the engineer it and that's the 28:36 proper term. Let me remind a honey, remind our viewers about write a free offer. 28:42 Right here is called you turned. You do want to make a U turn for the first 100 28:45 people. What do they get to a physical copy of book. Yes. And after that, they can down 28:53 the digital downloads. If you want copy of that, call the regular number one. It's 1, 8, 29:01 2, 2, 8, 3, 6, 2, sorry, 6, 1, 8, 6, 2, 7, 4, 6, 5, laws. But the booklet the booklet or 29:08 618-228-3975, to text your questions. Well, you can email us live at 3 ABN DOT TV. Try 29:16 so and you could questions will and they will those questions on the second. Now. 29:21 And I remember in my neighborhood back in 70's in Brooklyn, the open of 29:26 McDonnell's. And everybody was so excited. McDonnell's. I was so excited with them. And that 29:34 was one of the worst things that happen to a neighborhood is when they open McDonald's 29:39 matter of fact, take a little stroll cast briefly. I remember being in Paris when 29:46 they were recommending a McDonald's and the people because they said that lunch 29:51 time they take 2 hours for lunch. They actually go home and cook their food. And one 29:58 of the instances I remember what this years ago through the 80's to qualify this. I'm 30:04 with Harry dissing would Harrison's and they said it's not unusual for cab driver to 30:08 pull over when his lunch hour hits in the lunch hour for the whole. If I take a look the 30:12 same time and one of the pastor says, what are you doing this? This is my lunch 30:15 hour. have to wait to my lunch hour. If I take you the rest the time they cook their 30:20 foods, they literally cook their food. But now we know as you talked about, we have 30:25 exploited disease in the context of Nast fast foods. So what makes lifestyle medicine? 30:38 Well, first, it certainly reignite the passion. >> You are why most went into 30:43 the field of medicine to become true healers. And so that, again, is why we're 30:50 seeing such tremendous growth in the field and of the American College of Lifestyle, 30:54 Medicine and of the lifestyle Medicine associations around the world because it enables 31:01 that medical professional to treat the root cause to attempt to identify, identify 31:07 and eradicate the root cause with the clinical outcome call of health restoration as 31:14 opposed to simply disease management team. and because it is evidence based 31:21 conventional medicine, all that, you know, we're just advocating that it become the 31:26 first treatment option that lifestyle medicine become the foundation of health and all 31:32 health care. and I think that we're just seeing. Physicians and medical professionals who, 31:40 as you referred to earlier, meeting to see, you know, 25 30 40 patients a day and it's 31:47 just unsustainable. And so they are looking for a different way. And I think 31:51 that the public is rising up saying, wait a minute, we don't want to just manage 31:57 disease. We really want to have our health restored. We want to add years to life and 32:00 life 2 years and the medical community is and and we're seeing such incredible things 32:07 happen. I mean, even on the national stage just yesterday, the American College of 32:12 Lifestyle Medicine submitted its recommendations and of pretty significant offer. And 32:17 in response to the White House conference on hunger, nutrition and health. And for 32:24 the first time in over 50 one is being produced on Capitol Hill this this September. And 32:33 so food is medicine is something that is in the vernacular and being talked 32:37 about just a few weeks ago. Congressman Jim McGovern and Congressman Burgess out of 32:44 Texas Co sponsored a House resolution that was unanimously adopted by the 32:51 House of Representatives. That advocates for nutrition to be incorporated into medical 32:57 education throughout the country. Now it isn't anything that it doesn't have any teeth 33:03 to it. It's a resolution, but it enables organizations like ours to come behind and do 33:09 things that really help to manifest that vision. And our president was in Washington, 33:16 D.C., today meeting with Congressman McGovern and and others on Capitol Hill. 33:21 >> The president of the American College yes, you know, we have to also 33:25 recognize a data when you are facing something brand new, there's always resistance. 33:32 True. No, we're trying to reach physicians right? But unless they have come through 33:37 the program and begin to understand this is scientific, it is evidence based it 33:47 creates often a change in the disease process within like with diabetes and high blood 33:52 pressure. And so on then I think you can hopefully down some of the natural resistance 34:00 that we all have towards change trade. Yes, I mean, it's a it's a common. Trait 34:07 that we all share, right? So I don't want to sort of make its own as it's all the 34:14 profiteering. That is the basis here for it. But in general change is always 34:21 difficult. It's a paradigm shift. And, you know, I mean, think of the pharmaceutical 34:27 industry they want to do now, if able trying these disease around? 34:33 >> Well, there will always be people who don't want to eat what they want to root. 34:37 >> A kid on there. So it was not be physically active. So there will always be plenty to 34:44 be treated >> almost like informed consent patients, people. We 34:51 all have a right to know. There's a lifestyle medicine and treatment option for us 35:00 try and that it doesn't need to just be a disease management approach. And and 35:06 that's really what we're advocating. >> And so as you're thinking 35:09 about it, talk to deal. You know, I want to just for those who are just thinking about 35:13 this book, it. I've been peeking in it some some and it is amazing took. Some people 35:20 might think one of my you turning from look at the understand preventing and 35:25 reversing last all diseases and looking on the inside. And I looked down at the top, 35:30 title of the book. And you one of the authors of this book. >> Sure. Yeah. 35:37 >> But I'm looking at is statistics that you put in here and I know that those of 35:40 you that are calling and getting your copies. But if you if you haven't called yet, 35:43 you want to call 6, 1, 8, 6 to 7, 4, 6, 5, 1, And I'm going to take one of these home with 35:50 I'm too because we are really serious about living long and living healthy. yeah, yeah, 35:56 you know, Susan has worked. I mean, incredibly heart in trying to move this concept of 36:05 lifestyle medicine into the mainstream the professional societies. She has a work hard 36:12 to establish affiliations with national organizations she has done everything she can to 36:18 create more understanding and awareness that this is the scientific, solid approach 36:24 that is building on medical care and complimenting Medicare, but is making it the 36:28 initial. The first treatment option for streaming option yet? I wanted to another 36:37 phase. And now in our discussion and that is that with all the efforts that you 36:40 have made it. Something is happening that it's going to break it wide open when the 36:47 next few years. As a matter of fact, pretty soon. I think okay. And so I want to talk to 36:51 you about a hero that appeared and this probably breaking this field wide open deuce a 36:59 hero, a hero. Okay. Haha. That's right. Are you ready for this time? I hear. Well, 37:04 let me tell you about this hero even a bit of a background, OK, I want to tell 37:08 you who it is. All right. I can't. Born in Arkansas. 4th of 5 children. Family poverty 37:16 stricken. A mother bear and the bringing food to the table. Father a butcher that 37:31 our call >> So, you know, it's those kind of situations very, very 37:34 difficult situation. And then in education. Consistent D student. You know D And then 37:44 when he went to the college, he was finally diagnosed with having dyslexia and where you 37:52 don't really read very, very well. >> And you have to make brain 37:57 adjustments. And once he found out that he had dyslexia. He turned from a D student into a 38:06 dean's lists to talk not student. He then began his career in law enforcement 38:13 police officer for success. For 22 years. Record and up as captain and B can 38:18 automatically the president off. United States. >> Dragon is in Haha. But 38:29 >> he started with York first. He started with the Brooklyn area. Casey became the 38:39 president of this borough there did very, very well. All can make a lot of friends. 38:43 Given up the political base and ran for president know ran for mayor of New York City. A 38:53 not bad January one. This slide this year. he became the new president. Know the mayor 38:59 of city yet right? Yes, amazing, isn't it? I'm not going to say his name is on 39:03 The New Yorker. Believe we were so nation for you. But but but you see what happened 39:11 is. He was diagnosed with severe end-stage diabetes. Wow. And once you begin to 39:20 understand that this was a fatal disease, once he realized that he would 39:24 probably face threatening. Situation of having an amputation of one of his toes. 39:31 want to recognize that he was in in in Lyon going blind in one eye. Once you realize 39:37 kidney disease was looming because that's what happened. This is what happens with 39:42 diabetes. He then began to look around. He was a searcher. He looked for 39:47 answers and they found a man by the name of Caldwell Esselstyn a prominent 39:53 physician who was here. that's right, right, right. Yeah. Also with a firefighter 39:59 Cleveland Clinic tried look for the member and he listened to this man and he learned 40:04 that diabetes is actually reversible, try and you can do it pretty rapidly off within 40:09 weeks. And so he fought this program and he traded his junk food for food's has grown. I 40:16 am beginning to get into an exercise program, treadmill into his office was working 40:20 out there every day and his diabetes begin to reverse itself. And within 3, 4 months 40:27 he was off medication. Norma insulin. He was a new man and he got so fired up. I need to 40:34 bring this to New York. This on my constituents. I have to help the people here I have a 40:42 responsibility. I know the answer. I figured it out in my own life. We need to reach and 40:45 what he did then what did you do with it? But the children, oh, well, he started a plant 40:52 based one day a week in school lunches for New York City schoolchildren. And he's 40:58 really advocating that it become. >> Infused into all the health 41:02 systems in York. >> fact, when this happened, my sister who lives in New 41:06 York used to it for the fire Department police department called and told she said New 41:12 York is being turned upside He talks about is we're going to talk about this. You can get 41:17 more of you got to put some meat on this. No pun intended. The second now the program. 41:21 >> Looking forward and he's in the go. You know, you know, he there are some. 41:27 >> One close to 1 million children in the public school system. Should we feed them 41:34 Well, should be turned them around. He said there are now 40% of the children grades one 41:42 to 8 that are overweight or obese should be feet these children to become larger or 41:47 should be turned the disease around. And so he began to lay the foundations for this. 41:51 concept bringing a healthy plant-based option. That's to the schools. Absolutely. Now 41:58 it's very visionary. >> and I believe it what he's able to do in New York will 42:05 reverberate and really serve as a prototype for other cities to follow. 42:11 >> You go. The other thing that we have to keep in mind is not one you would unfolding 42:15 this story. I was thinking about some other prominent politicians, Bill Clinton. 42:21 This is something we talked about with a heart when he had his heart attack. He realized, 42:26 wait a minute. This is not the way that I continue change his lifestyle when the gun. 42:29 Totally, totally. Yeah. Another one I found out Al Sharpton. Another gentleman 42:35 who I met him many years ago when I say met on the same elevator in the Hardly a 42:41 medium that's the elevator. I'm here tonight gave a C but at the time is a very large 42:47 man. But have you seen him lately? Yes, same things. A small man. He's practically 42:53 gun and changed his lifestyle and all these things that we're going to talk about you. 42:58 But I like looking bow to the second Susan, because you're going to walk us through right 43:03 now. We've been laying some foundation talking about the benefits of health. And as you 43:07 listening right now, you might be saying, well, I want to be educated. Also, if you're 43:13 watching, I'm I'm just looking forward to the second now. But Honey reminded again how they 43:17 could send their questions in and because I know you haven't you have questions when you 43:21 maybe already have some questions. You can begin to send the net shore. 43:25 >> You can e-mail us at live at 3 ABN DOT TV or you can text. Your message is to us. 43:34 Well, that's one you, Texas, or you 618-228-3975. That's one way. you can call the call 43:44 center right there open. You can call the call center for those of you that just 43:47 remember that number off the top head. I know they might want to call that number for 43:50 you on a U turn. Booklet. >> And I'm looking at this osteoporosis diaby Candice or 43:59 all of 4 pitches. You know you the full hyper tension, heart disease. notice not just can I 44:03 confess about something really Haha. But I noticed one day, but I was extremely, extremely 44:14 thirsty. Yeah. And my wife drinks water. Like it's going out of style. So I kept an So 44:20 thirsty, why am I thirsty? And you know what? A trace to 2 confession because as the sole 44:26 education but said it's a U turn, its U turn. And I want to tell you, I've trained 44:31 myself to not when we we just came back from shopping today. Only I didn't buy any but a 44:36 touch. haha that was so proud of invited 10 ships because I traced it to my inordinate. 44:43 Continuing to go into that stag a potato chip assault. It drying out moisture in my and 44:51 out. You could say why am I so Thursday and that her, you know what the turning point 44:54 was? When my lips started. It's saw My my and I would like that. And I tasted the 45:05 salt, mister. That's it. That's it. You're done. I'm done. I'm not doing this any 45:08 longer. I thought of turning around and I felt so much better. And I also noticed 45:17 Noticed that I began to shed a I think that there was some connection. Maybe you could 45:23 talk about this. some connection to too much salt and inordinate water. And it 45:30 talk about Yes, all you can hoard 10, 15, 2025 pounds. Sometimes of water because of 45:39 the high salt diet. Wow. And you see saw it is not really well appreciated by the body. 45:48 It is easily assimilated. Well, it's not putting the body in 2 of the best up state 45:54 of health. And so what happens is the body wants to this concentration of salt that you 46:01 consume and holds on to water to dilute it. That's how you can then possibly sometimes 46:07 have 10, 2030, pounds of extra weight just in water because it sought so it, the humid, 46:13 the breed that connection there. And I noticed it might mice ahead. More suits to 46:19 being weak And today we came back from the store. Didn't buy any artificial drinks all 46:26 my life. So we are going to drink more water taps. Absolutely. And so we need it. 46:32 We need my what I put lemon in mind. You know, so much pressure. Lemon, always you 46:37 see, you're just like like that man that tried to describe to you good in use 46:42 with an enthusiasm. Yeah, felt I need to take this message to my constituency. I need to 46:48 reach people in New York. The need to have this helpful information. The need to be 46:51 introduced to healthy foods. >> And he has become now one of the most outspoken 46:57 supporters of the lifetime medicine movement. Is that right? really he really has. 47:04 And I had the opportunity to speak at an event with him 5 or 6 years ago in. 47:08 >> He spoke right before me, which is not the place you want to be following. Someone 47:13 like that. That is such a charismatic presenter as we'll get to see here. And in a few 47:18 minutes. But as this crowd roared night took the stage on. I said, what do you think 47:25 of this for president and the crowd little. Did we know foreshadowing that he would 47:34 become air of awe one of the largest cities in the world? You know, I think you've laid 47:36 such a wonderful Segway in foundation. We have a couple of back to back the videos we 47:41 can show right now. as to what you priming about what you introduced and after these 2 47:47 videos, we're going to have a few comments before we close our first hour out. And I 47:52 think that's going to a couple of things introduce you to the person that we've been 47:56 alluding Secondly, in Aceh, in a sense, summarize what we've covered the first hour. 48:00 >> And then we're going to the educational part of the second hour. So just sit back and 48:03 watch these 2 videos back to back. >> This is the most 48:13 comprehensive expansion of lifestyle medicine in the nation. In the nation. New 48:19 York is going to change the conversation about use in food not to feed healthcare crises 48:29 but to stop the crises. And some cases like my case to some of the chronic diseases 48:36 that historically we said it was not possible living with chronic diseases. And we need 48:40 to be something. A chronic disease does not only impact the individual who has the 48:46 kind of disease. It impacts the entire family and everyone in his room know someone who's 48:53 going through a chronic disease. They are not going through chronic disease 48:57 themselves. That is what we must understand. A chronic disease hijacks your life. It 49:06 hijacks the life of your entire family. And that is why this is significant moment. 49:11 What we are doing. And those who are going through the chronic diseases and whatever 49:16 disease we're talking about to my heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, pre 49:24 diabetes and all the other health concerns associated with obesity. We have a health 49:29 care crisis that's sustainable. In 2 to be bold enough as the city and the 49:36 hospital system to say we're going to do something differently is really 49:42 commendable. And I just think of the entire this expansion is about helping patients make 49:47 healthy, a lifestyle changes. Including plant based diet, physical activity, improved 49:55 sleep, sleeping habits is stress reduction, all the things that we must 50:02 incorporate into our lives so that we can do with the stress of being in a stressful 50:05 environment. I'm living a healthy lifestyle and I'm New York. It's to have as many 50:15 plant based space mills as possible because the science is clear. The more you eat 50:21 plants, the more you eat fruits, the more you have a healthy lifestyle away from 50:26 old the processed food, the healthier you are going to be. I know how I feel every day 50:34 and I want you to feel the same way every day. And so those who have questions or 50:39 what I and eating. I'm over and I know how to take care of myself. And if you haven't 50:50 notice, look at that pitch is of yes, 2 years and they look at the pitch is it. 50:58 >> I wear my son so much better than I 8 years ago. >> And if you like it or not, 51:04 you have to say, yes, you I would have followed the path that I was would not be 51:14 standing here. I was going blind. They say there's nothing they could do for you 51:21 every week. You want to be blind in a year. That team and that I ignored it. They said 51:27 you have permanent nerve damage. lose something isn't holes. I was going have to 51:31 take insulin every day. I was taking medication. They have to get the medication for my 51:40 time. High blood pressure medication for my cholesterol problem of several medications 51:45 for my diabetes. And it soon be given medication for my also, they this is permitted. 51:50 Add those This is not sustainable. And so when you look at the fact them, I did 51:57 not have to buy that that that metformin of the insulin, the high blood pressure that this 52:02 that and we to get all of those things. So it's not how much, of course, with his 52:07 program, how much is going to cause us that we don't have this program and those are 52:11 just a dollar amounts. It did traumatize a shoe of my family member, my son, when he when 52:19 he heard what happened, he he says You have a BMW, put the best guessing you call. You 52:26 can put the best food in your body. closely not to do this. And so we're going to come up. 52:34 Whatever the numbers, all that we've got to meet those doing numbers because we I want 52:38 health care system is not sustainable. It's just not sustainable. And I'm not going 52:44 to allow this to continue in my 4 years in office, I eat a plant based sent to life. Some 52:53 people want to call me big in the Orioles and they drink Coca-Cola. I don't. plant base 53:00 sent to life and I'm not going down this rabbit hole of would you be if you cake and has 53:07 AIG's in it that you analyze it? I'm not doing that. The more plant based you eat the 53:12 better and help the UAW. That is my question to those who have followed me around 53:16 restaurants wonder would when I'm ordering. Listen, I'm not doing that. That noise to me. 53:22 I got to get New York is to eat a plant base sent to life. And if that's not a question, 53:27 is it that people accept it is cool with me. >> Wow. cool with me. Was that 53:34 was Mayor Eric Adams of the proud City of New Wow. You know the full when mice when 53:43 this initiative was foist was that that's conviction. That's a person is concerned about a 53:49 city. You're talking about 16 to 18 million people in great in area and he's right. The 53:56 medical costs are not sustainable. That's out of my city. That's right. 54:01 Absolutely. And in the person who was standing >> over Mary Adams right 54:05 shoulder is doctor Michelle Mic Mac and re. And and she's a former member of our board 54:09 of directors. And she had when Eric Brooklyn Borough president, he started infusing 54:18 lifestyle medicine into Bellevue Hospital says, you know, this talk little system 54:21 in the state of New York. and Michelle took on the role of head of nutrition and 54:28 lifestyle medicine and started doing shared medical appointments that were 54:32 lifestyle medicine based in seeing tremendous, tremendous results and really educating 54:37 equipping and empowering people to take far greater control of their health 54:42 destiny. And then after Mayor Adams became the mayor of New York City, then Michelle was 54:49 named director of nutrition and lifestyle medicine at health and hospitals. It's the 54:54 largest public health system in the United States. Wow. And so she was there that day and 55:00 that press conference and ended up speaking after the mayor did on that particular 55:05 day. And so now Mayor Adams is in talks with 6 health systems in New York. And because of 55:13 Michelle's relationship in the relationship that we have with he and the mayor's office and 55:19 the educational curricula that a C l M has developed the continuing medical education, 55:24 accredited medical education. We're going to be working very closely doctor Make Mac and 55:30 with health and hospitals and and helping to fill that gaping void of lifestyle, 55:37 medicine and medical education. Because that's what needs to happen. and so we're 55:42 just delighted to see the kind of leadership that Mayor Adams is exemplified. Yeah, and 55:49 really believe that it be an inspiration to other mayors across the United States and 55:53 around the world. >> Yeah, I love that. He said if you don't believe I'm doing 55:59 this, you can agree that I am wearing my suit to is with that? But I notice the 56:05 difference. And I said, you know, I'm able to increase the number of suits that I can now 56:11 wear. And it's a really, really exciting to know that when you make a change, your 56:16 body begins to applaud on the inside. Your heart begins to say. I've been waiting for 56:23 this moment and your oxygen levels go up. You begin to sleep better. You don't feel 56:29 is dried out as the hills of the Gilboa and the water actually makes a difference. 56:34 You're not adding to something that is becoming worse. You begin to contribute to 56:37 something that's better. And Honey, thank you for continuing to tell me you need 56:41 to drink more water, ice and think of water it's 5 o'clock. I didn't have a glass of water 56:48 yet. She said how much I come on. Let's you asked me when you walk your house, what are 56:51 you doing today? Did you drink any water? he questioned? No, I mean, the vast majority of 56:59 the people around the world are chronically dehydrated. >> And so many diseases 57:06 diagnose because its people are chronically dehydrated. and many of the beverages that 57:12 we do drink Rd hydrating, even though it's liquid going in its D hydrating. So, ah, the 57:19 power of just plain Hto h 2 o cannot be underestimated. We looking forward to it. You got 57:23 20 seconds to hold that thought for the 2nd half. You take a drink that water 57:29 anywhere once again, 618-228-3975, to text or live at TV or 26 1, 8, 6, 2, 4, 6, 57:36 5, copy of the book. >> Don't Go. Which is getting started is we want understand. 57:43 That's right. Don't go. We'll be right back us. ♪ 57:50 ♪ |
