The Doctor's in the house...
00:00:02.66\00:00:04.60
My name is Yvonne
Lewis and you're watching
00:00:04.64\00:00:06.98
Urban Report...
00:00:07.02\00:00:08.23
Hello and welcome
to Urban Report...
00:00:29.21\00:00:31.99
My guest today is
Dr. Christine Salter
00:00:32.02\00:00:34.73
Director of the Center for
Vibrant Health and Wellness
00:00:34.76\00:00:37.76
in St. Louis, Missouri...
Welcome to Urban Report
00:00:37.79\00:00:40.73
Dr. Salter... Thank
you... I'm glad to be here
00:00:40.76\00:00:43.63
it is so good to have you here,
may I call you Dr. Christine?
00:00:43.66\00:00:46.87
You may...
Okay... great... so...
00:00:46.90\00:00:48.81
today we're going to
talk about obesity...
00:00:48.84\00:00:51.80
Yes... and so many of us...
00:00:51.84\00:00:55.43
want to lose weight
00:00:55.46\00:00:56.90
and keep it off... Right...
00:00:56.93\00:00:59.07
Okay, let me just start with...
why do people gain weight
00:00:59.11\00:01:04.26
in the first place?
You know there are lots of
00:01:04.29\00:01:06.62
reasons for gaining
weight... you know you can say,
00:01:06.66\00:01:09.56
like a mathematical equation
calories in... calories out...
00:01:09.59\00:01:13.48
if they're round about the
same, there's no weight gain
00:01:13.51\00:01:17.36
or weight loss... if
there are a lot more calories
00:01:17.39\00:01:19.88
in or a lot more
energy in... and less out...
00:01:19.92\00:01:22.98
you're going to gain
weight... but it's not all...
00:01:23.02\00:01:26.47
it's not that simple though...
because... it's also about
00:01:26.50\00:01:30.27
your metabolism... and
what's going on with the
00:01:30.31\00:01:32.83
metabolism...
there's something called a...
00:01:32.86\00:01:34.83
like a "fat switch" Hmmm...
00:01:34.87\00:01:36.85
and so, sometimes what
we do with our metabolism,
00:01:36.88\00:01:40.87
we switch that "fat switch"
on, and we gain weight...
00:01:40.90\00:01:44.85
and find it hard to
actually lose the weight...
00:01:44.88\00:01:47.94
now what... okay...
for viewers who don't know
00:01:47.97\00:01:50.99
what metabolism
is... what is metabolism?
00:01:51.02\00:01:53.53
so metabolism is the
way that our body works...
00:01:53.57\00:01:57.23
it's using the energy
00:01:57.26\00:01:59.39
in the body
00:01:59.42\00:02:00.56
okay... Okay and so there's a
00:02:00.60\00:02:03.37
"fat switch" there's
a switch actually that
00:02:03.40\00:02:05.84
turns on the ability
00:02:05.88\00:02:08.42
or the tendency to store fat?
00:02:08.45\00:02:10.82
tell us about that... So,
it's not a physical switch
00:02:10.85\00:02:14.25
it's like "metabolic
switch" it has to do with the
00:02:14.28\00:02:17.34
what we call the mitochondria
in the cells... the energy...
00:02:17.38\00:02:20.30
the little
organelles in the cells
00:02:20.34\00:02:22.26
and how they function...
00:02:22.30\00:02:23.38
their ability to function
and how many of them are there
00:02:23.41\00:02:27.90
and the
different things that we do
00:02:27.93\00:02:29.49
will change the level
of those mitochondria...
00:02:29.53\00:02:32.37
so it's not just simply...
calories in... calories out...
00:02:32.41\00:02:35.89
Hmmm... but calories do count...
00:02:35.92\00:02:38.16
so it's not enough to
say, "Well, I'm going to eat
00:02:38.19\00:02:41.33
a thousand calories...
but it's all junkie calories"
00:02:41.36\00:02:43.84
those junkie calories
are going to switch on
00:02:43.87\00:02:46.88
that "fat switch"
Isn't that interesting
00:02:46.91\00:02:49.80
so you could have
even maybe a little less
00:02:49.84\00:02:52.70
calories but they
are junkie calories
00:02:52.73\00:02:55.11
and they still can
turn on the fat switch...
00:02:55.14\00:02:57.28
Absolutely... Now
you hear this viewers...
00:02:57.32\00:02:59.45
you're hearing it
on Urban Report...
00:02:59.49\00:03:01.35
from Dr. Salter...
okay... so... what does a person
00:03:01.38\00:03:07.00
do... let's say... you
just keep on gaining weight
00:03:07.03\00:03:12.58
and you're trying to eat
better but you don't really know
00:03:12.61\00:03:15.94
what to do...
where do you start?
00:03:15.97\00:03:17.32
So, you've really got to
look at the lifestyle first...
00:03:17.36\00:03:22.13
even before you start
talking about the calories
00:03:22.17\00:03:25.32
you're eating or
even what you're eating...
00:03:25.35\00:03:27.02
because there's something
very fundamental like...
00:03:27.05\00:03:29.60
your sleep... Hmmm...
00:03:29.63\00:03:32.00
and your stress levels...
00:03:32.04\00:03:33.35
Let's talk a little
bit about about sleep...
00:03:33.38\00:03:35.11
because I don't think people
really know that connection
00:03:35.15\00:03:38.32
between weight gain
00:03:38.36\00:03:39.78
and sleep deprivation...
00:03:39.81\00:03:41.69
so, let's talk a
little bit about that...
00:03:41.72\00:03:44.24
Okay... so, we are...
we are designed to have
00:03:44.27\00:03:46.75
round about 7
to 8 hours of sleep
00:03:46.78\00:03:49.73
so, at a certain time...
not any time of the day...
00:03:49.77\00:03:54.83
okay... we're on
the circadian rhythm...
00:03:54.87\00:03:56.91
okay... but on
the circadian rhythm,
00:03:56.95\00:03:58.92
you know... a cycle...
to do with the light...
00:03:58.96\00:04:02.59
so your body sees the light
and then you know you get up
00:04:02.62\00:04:05.39
in the morning... and
then go through the day
00:04:05.43\00:04:07.90
and when the sun goes down
you get tired and go to sleep
00:04:07.93\00:04:10.85
it's all to do with hormones,
and neurotransmitters...
00:04:10.89\00:04:14.27
okay.. so we're supposed
to go to sleep before midnight
00:04:14.31\00:04:17.56
okay... we're supposed to
get our sleep before midnight
00:04:17.59\00:04:21.94
and when you're sleeping,
we go through different levels
00:04:21.98\00:04:26.29
of sleep and as you go
into these different levels,
00:04:26.33\00:04:29.71
we get a
metabolic change in hormones
00:04:29.74\00:04:32.11
that are released...
and so those hormones help
00:04:32.15\00:04:35.76
with energy... so while
you think you're resting
00:04:35.79\00:04:39.37
the body is
working very hard, Hmmm...
00:04:39.41\00:04:41.75
and so when they
looked to the studies...
00:04:41.78\00:04:43.95
they found that
people who sleep less hours,
00:04:43.99\00:04:46.13
have more
weight... more diabetes...
00:04:46.16\00:04:49.14
more cancer... their
hormones get messed up
00:04:49.18\00:04:52.54
so one of the
most fundamental things
00:04:52.58\00:04:53.95
even for hormone
balancing is to see that
00:04:53.98\00:04:55.45
I get enough sleep...
Wow... isn't that interesting
00:04:55.48\00:04:58.86
because so many
times... you never think about
00:04:58.90\00:05:03.28
"I'm not getting enough sleep
and I'm gaining weight... "
00:05:03.32\00:05:06.76
but it has to do
with hormonal balance...
00:05:06.79\00:05:09.20
It's hormonal balance...
exactly that's the key...
00:05:09.23\00:05:11.89
Exactly... and so what happens
when you're getting tired
00:05:11.92\00:05:16.72
to go to bed... what happens...
the cortisol is supposed to go
00:05:16.75\00:05:21.44
down and decrease, the
melatonin is supposed to
00:05:21.48\00:05:24.85
then come up and increase...
and so you get tired...
00:05:24.89\00:05:27.33
you go to sleep... but instead
you're on the computer...
00:05:27.36\00:05:29.77
we're in different
cities... that it's like
00:05:29.80\00:05:33.69
it's broad daylight and
it's like midnight... okay
00:05:33.73\00:05:36.29
and people are walking around
00:05:36.32\00:05:37.67
so what's going to happen now,
00:05:37.70\00:05:39.01
the cortisol says,
00:05:39.05\00:05:40.08
"Oh, I'm supposed to be
awake" so the cortisol then...
00:05:40.11\00:05:43.30
instead of it going
down, it begins to rise...
00:05:43.33\00:05:45.74
Wow... now when
cortisol is elevated...
00:05:45.77\00:05:48.85
one of its normal
mechanisms to do...
00:05:48.89\00:05:51.90
is to raise blood
sugar... okay... all right...
00:05:51.94\00:05:56.31
Isn't that interesting...
so you're raising blood sugar
00:05:56.34\00:05:58.08
and then,
eventually, you go to bed...
00:05:58.11\00:06:00.46
but now you've got
these levels of blood sugar
00:06:00.50\00:06:01.90
the body says, "What
do I have to do with this
00:06:01.93\00:06:03.30
because I am not
going to work anywhere
00:06:03.34\00:06:05.02
I'd better lay
this down as fat... "
00:06:05.06\00:06:06.74
Right... because when
insulin is increased...
00:06:06.77\00:06:10.43
it helps to store fat...
00:06:10.47\00:06:12.86
It stores fat...
it's a fat trigger...
00:06:12.90\00:06:15.42
Wow... Okay, so
now, the cortisol is
00:06:15.45\00:06:17.90
high... insulin is
high... and as it continues,
00:06:17.94\00:06:20.82
then we get into a
state of what we call
00:06:20.85\00:06:22.69
"insulin resistance"
it's a state of "fat storage"
00:06:22.73\00:06:27.82
and as hard as you try to say
you're going to lose the weight,
00:06:27.86\00:06:31.64
and you simply keep staying
up, and not getting the sleep,
00:06:31.67\00:06:35.41
you're not going
to lose any weight...
00:06:35.45\00:06:36.73
you're in "insulin resistance"
that weight is not coming off...
00:06:36.77\00:06:39.75
Wow... see... we
can't fool the body...
00:06:39.78\00:06:42.30
Right... right... Okay...
00:06:42.33\00:06:44.09
right... isn't it amazing how
00:06:44.12\00:06:46.60
God has created these bodies!
00:06:46.63\00:06:49.03
Fabulous... I mean... we're
fearfully and wonderfully made
00:06:49.07\00:06:51.40
so intricate... you know...
00:06:51.43\00:06:54.40
one thing happens
here... it dominoes here...
00:06:54.44\00:06:57.83
and the body...
it's not that it's...
00:06:57.86\00:07:00.90
it's just doing what
you're... it's just responding
00:07:00.94\00:07:04.19
to what you're doing... Yes...
00:07:04.22\00:07:05.52
You stay up late... it says,
00:07:05.56\00:07:06.79
"I need
cortisol... I need insulin... "
00:07:06.82\00:07:09.18
It's responding to you...
00:07:09.21\00:07:10.38
It's responding to
what you're doing...
00:07:10.42\00:07:11.95
Wow... you see...
it's responding to
00:07:11.98\00:07:13.81
what you're doing
so in that setting...
00:07:13.84\00:07:15.60
just right there... if somebody
would just go to bed on time...
00:07:15.63\00:07:19.94
that will be huge... as
far as the weight management
00:07:19.97\00:07:23.53
Going to bed on time...
Just going to bed on time...
00:07:23.56\00:07:27.08
and getting 7 to
8 hours of sleep...
00:07:27.12\00:07:28.40
I have to tell
you... one of my...
00:07:28.44\00:07:30.62
I wear this bracelet...
it's not a bracelet...
00:07:30.65\00:07:35.37
it's not a bracelet...
so nobody gets panicked...
00:07:35.41\00:07:38.05
don't send me e-mails...
00:07:38.09\00:07:39.37
it's not a bracelet...
this is a... motion...
00:07:39.40\00:07:43.00
kind of... sensor...
it's an activity gauge...
00:07:43.04\00:07:46.44
it lets me know how many
steps I've done that day...
00:07:46.47\00:07:49.79
how much sleep I've
gotten and I said that because
00:07:49.83\00:07:53.60
my sleep levels have
just really gone down a lot
00:07:53.63\00:07:57.37
because I'm
thinking... or I'm relaxing...
00:07:57.40\00:07:59.87
or watching
something on television,
00:07:59.91\00:08:01.71
and that keeps you awake...
which then causes the hormone
00:08:01.75\00:08:06.82
so... I see now...
what you're saying...
00:08:06.85\00:08:08.94
right... it really
makes a lot of sense
00:08:08.98\00:08:11.00
that if we go to bed...
Ellen White says this too...
00:08:11.03\00:08:12.98
that sleep before midnight,
is equal to like 2 hours more
00:08:13.01\00:08:17.58
than it would... after...
Absolutely... absolutely...
00:08:17.62\00:08:21.57
so, it's critical... so
sleep deprivation is one thing
00:08:21.61\00:08:25.46
and you said,
stress is another thing
00:08:25.49\00:08:27.24
Stress is huge...
Okay... let's talk about stress
00:08:27.28\00:08:29.37
Okay... so, you know, people
say, "You know I just can't get
00:08:29.40\00:08:31.75
rid of this
belly fat... " Hmmm...
00:08:31.79\00:08:34.63
Right... Hmmm... hmmm...
00:08:34.66\00:08:35.83
you know, or...
"Did you see this
00:08:35.87\00:08:37.65
weight gain around the waist?"
and of course, that's a more
00:08:37.68\00:08:41.40
that's a more
challenging type of fat...
00:08:41.43\00:08:43.47
there are
different kinds of fat now...
00:08:43.51\00:08:46.63
so people... we
have the obesity Right...
00:08:46.66\00:08:49.71
right... and so we
talk about the "Apple Shape"
00:08:49.75\00:08:52.34
Hmmm... and then
we talk the "Pear"
00:08:52.38\00:08:54.94
and we have a graphic of that...
Yeah, we do have that, right,
00:08:54.98\00:08:58.38
Yeah, so let's talk
about that. So look at...
00:08:58.41\00:09:01.18
see the apple shape...
this is a problem right here...
00:09:01.21\00:09:04.01
see this fat... this
is metabolically active
00:09:04.04\00:09:08.16
inflammatory
dangerous fat... Hmmm...
00:09:08.19\00:09:12.35
that will cause
heart attacks, stroke,
00:09:12.39\00:09:16.65
cancer... all kind of problems
obstructive sleep apnea...
00:09:16.68\00:09:20.91
it's just
sending out inflammation
00:09:20.94\00:09:23.67
that's what it's doing...
it's like a little fire...
00:09:23.71\00:09:26.43
Isn't it interesting
that something like fat
00:09:26.46\00:09:30.53
which we think of
as just "extra pounds"
00:09:30.57\00:09:33.37
padding... right...
00:09:33.40\00:09:35.49
extra padding... extra
pounds, we look at that
00:09:35.52\00:09:38.37
as being
something we don't want,
00:09:38.40\00:09:40.84
but now you're telling us
that not only is it unsightly...
00:09:40.87\00:09:44.90
but it's also doing something...
00:09:44.94\00:09:47.41
It's dangerous... I
have another graphic
00:09:47.45\00:09:49.46
about metabolic
syndrome... Oh... okay...
00:09:49.49\00:09:53.11
that shows... it
shows that abdominal fat
00:09:53.14\00:09:56.51
that is actually...
it's like an organ...
00:09:56.54\00:09:59.84
it's an inflammatory
organ, I mean, I do blood tests
00:09:59.87\00:10:03.56
and I can tell...
without even looking...
00:10:03.60\00:10:05.80
I can tell who's
got the abdominal fat...
00:10:05.84\00:10:08.01
Hmmm... because
you see all these
00:10:08.04\00:10:09.39
inflammatory cytokines...
so you know that it's doing
00:10:09.43\00:10:12.88
a dangerous job and
so that's really key
00:10:12.91\00:10:15.63
to get that
metabolic syndrome...
00:10:15.67\00:10:19.18
that abdominal fat gone...
which is different from the
00:10:19.21\00:10:21.88
"pear" which has got
the fat on the hips...
00:10:21.91\00:10:24.82
Hmmm... little waist...
00:10:24.86\00:10:26.02
fat on the hips
00:10:26.05\00:10:27.40
well you know... you
may want to lose that
00:10:27.43\00:10:29.82
just for cosmetic
reasons but it does not have
00:10:29.85\00:10:32.77
the same effect as
this one right here, okay...
00:10:32.80\00:10:35.65
Isn't it interesting that
when you to go a physician
00:10:35.68\00:10:39.95
like yourself...
they often say... that...
00:10:39.98\00:10:43.41
they measure
the circumference...
00:10:43.44\00:10:45.23
Right, the
waist circumference...
00:10:45.27\00:10:46.99
because that is an indicator
of and it's a risk factor
00:10:47.02\00:10:51.45
for heart disease...
Right, actually, that is more
00:10:51.49\00:10:54.48
of an indicator than
even blood pressure...
00:10:54.52\00:10:56.87
it happens to be the
number one indicator...
00:10:56.91\00:10:59.22
just measure the
waist circumference...
00:10:59.26\00:11:01.54
Hmmm...
00:11:01.57\00:11:03.03
Okay, greater than 40 in
men, greater than 35 in women...
00:11:03.06\00:11:05.96
increases the risk
for heart disease...
00:11:05.99\00:11:08.21
Isn't that something...
say that again please... Doctor
00:11:08.24\00:11:10.29
because they
need to hear that...
00:11:10.33\00:11:11.62
Greater... If your
waist is larger than...
00:11:11.65\00:11:14.11
40 inches in men...
and 35 inches in women...
00:11:14.14\00:11:16.49
there's an increased
risk for heart disease...
00:11:16.52\00:11:18.80
just take out your tape
measure, you don't have to go
00:11:18.84\00:11:20.79
to the doctor... just
take out your tape measure
00:11:20.82\00:11:23.17
and you know right there...
that you've got an issue
00:11:23.21\00:11:25.53
and that things have to change.
00:11:25.56\00:11:27.87
That is
amazing... so this fat...
00:11:27.91\00:11:31.28
that's sitting
around that middle,
00:11:31.31\00:11:34.47
it is not just sitting there...
00:11:34.50\00:11:37.59
it's causing big
problems... Problems...
00:11:37.63\00:11:39.85
It's dangerous...
And one of the problems
00:11:39.88\00:11:42.05
that causes that...
00:11:42.08\00:11:44.48
that's what we
were talking about...
00:11:44.51\00:11:45.85
that's what we're
talking about stress...
00:11:45.88\00:11:47.01
because stress causes this
00:11:47.05\00:11:48.94
chronic level of
cortisol... and cortisol says,
00:11:48.98\00:11:52.79
"Let's raise the blood sugar,
and let's store the fat... "
00:11:52.82\00:11:55.83
"Oh, where are we
going to store the fat?"
00:11:55.86\00:11:56.90
"Let's, this is where
it goes" all right... so...
00:11:56.94\00:12:00.88
stress
management... Hmmm... hmmm...
00:12:00.92\00:12:03.42
is key... to fat management...
00:12:03.45\00:12:07.16
we've got to deal
with the stress...
00:12:07.19\00:12:08.74
and part of the stress
is getting enough sleep...
00:12:08.77\00:12:11.16
right... so we get all stressed
so we don't go to sleep...
00:12:11.19\00:12:14.13
That's right... Right...
00:12:14.16\00:12:15.39
That's right... But we
have to... we have to...
00:12:15.43\00:12:17.82
you know in the Bible...
the Bible says, you know,
00:12:17.85\00:12:20.66
was it, "The sleep of
the righteous is sweet. "
00:12:20.70\00:12:23.47
Right... Hmmm... hmmm...
00:12:23.50\00:12:25.04
so, we are
physiologically made to sleep...
00:12:25.07\00:12:27.73
and then, if you can't do
anything about the stress,
00:12:27.76\00:12:31.00
why stress? there's no point...
00:12:31.04\00:12:34.84
so we do all this stuff...
but we're not changing anything,
00:12:34.87\00:12:38.65
all we're doing is
courting a bunch of inflammation
00:12:38.69\00:12:41.32
Right... and it's
not changing the issue.
00:12:41.36\00:12:43.51
Right... You
see... so, we have to do
00:12:43.55\00:12:45.63
that deep breathing... we
have to do that relaxation,
00:12:45.67\00:12:49.29
and we have to exercise...
because exercise is a way of
00:12:49.32\00:12:52.91
diminishing
stress... It really is...
00:12:52.95\00:12:56.39
Right? It really is...
00:12:56.42\00:12:57.67
and I think that...
again for a lot of our viewers
00:12:57.71\00:13:02.04
who might not be
happy about exercising...
00:13:02.07\00:13:05.07
but there are
things that you can do
00:13:05.11\00:13:06.58
but you have to find
something that you like...
00:13:06.62\00:13:08.94
do what you like... like
some people love to walk...
00:13:08.98\00:13:13.26
Right... Well,
you know what I say...
00:13:13.30\00:13:16.00
and I used to ask about exercise
but we have changed it now to
00:13:16.03\00:13:20.84
physical activity
and movement, Ah...
00:13:20.87\00:13:23.87
just move... right...
Come on, unpack that for us...
00:13:23.90\00:13:27.29
Right, right, you
know what I'm saying...
00:13:27.33\00:13:28.56
just move...
because what happens is...
00:13:28.59\00:13:29.91
studies show...
if we sit all day...
00:13:29.94\00:13:31.18
people say, "You
know, I hard for 2 to 3
00:13:31.22\00:13:34.35
hours at the end of the
day... and I'm not losing
00:13:34.39\00:13:36.66
all this weight... " Well
because you sat for 8 hours
00:13:36.70\00:13:38.94
all day... and
what does the signal...
00:13:38.98\00:13:41.99
what's the body's
signal? Lay down fat...
00:13:42.03\00:13:44.98
that's what the studies
show... when you sit there...
00:13:45.01\00:13:46.95
it says, "You're
not doing anything...
00:13:46.98\00:13:49.56
you're just sitting
there... on your computer
00:13:49.60\00:13:51.31
not doing anything... "
00:13:51.34\00:13:52.65
the body says, "I'm
going to lay down fat... "
00:13:52.69\00:13:54.52
You can't work that off
at the end of the day...
00:13:54.56\00:13:57.16
you'll be in the gym
for like 8 hours... right...
00:13:57.20\00:13:59.73
so what you do... during the
day every 30 minutes to an hour,
00:13:59.77\00:14:03.31
you get up... do something...
go to the bathroom...
00:14:03.34\00:14:06.17
walk downstairs...
walk around the hall...
00:14:06.21\00:14:08.58
go get some
water... just move...
00:14:08.61\00:14:11.04
This is so good... because
so many people are stuck,
00:14:11.07\00:14:15.19
like me, in an
office... a lot Right...
00:14:15.22\00:14:17.60
and when you're at that computer
00:14:17.63\00:14:19.39
or you're in a meeting
or you're just sitting...
00:14:19.43\00:14:23.84
you're saying that
00:14:23.87\00:14:27.01
you're telling the body...
00:14:27.05\00:14:28.31
"Don't do anything...
just store some fat...
00:14:28.34\00:14:30.92
you're not moving... "
"You're not moving... store it"
00:14:30.95\00:14:33.96
Right... store it... so
imagine... if you got up...
00:14:33.99\00:14:36.96
on the hour... and
did 2 to 3 minutes...
00:14:37.00\00:14:40.20
that's all... that's
not a lot 2 to 3 minutes...
00:14:40.23\00:14:43.52
what's 8 hours times 3
that's 24 minutes of exercise
00:14:43.56\00:14:46.81
you've done by
the end of the day...
00:14:46.85\00:14:48.80
Come on now
Doctor... see... Okay...
00:14:48.84\00:14:50.72
that's why you're
here... Be physically active...
00:14:50.76\00:14:53.84
when I go... I travel a
lot... stay in a hotel...
00:14:53.87\00:14:57.67
Hmmm... hmmm... and
the last time I checked in,
00:14:57.71\00:15:00.88
and they said, "I have
you on the 19th floor... "
00:15:00.92\00:15:03.72
I said, "No, I want to be
able to walk the stairs...
00:15:03.75\00:15:06.52
you need to put me
down lower" I said...
00:15:06.55\00:15:09.36
and he goes... "Well,
I have the 4th floor. "
00:15:09.40\00:15:10.91
I said, "That's good enough"
00:15:10.95\00:15:12.08
So, I took my
suitcase to the room
00:15:12.11\00:15:15.22
because it was heavy... Right...
00:15:15.25\00:15:16.85
took it to the
room... after that
00:15:16.88\00:15:18.41
"Don't use the elevator again
until you're leaving the hotel"
00:15:18.45\00:15:23.40
Yes... "Take the stairs... "
00:15:23.43\00:15:25.28
because in modern living...
we have to force ourselves,
00:15:25.31\00:15:30.24
we've got to create the activity
don't take the elevator,
00:15:30.27\00:15:34.51
don't take the escalator,
take the stairs when you see it,
00:15:34.54\00:15:38.74
take the
stairs... That is so true...
00:15:38.78\00:15:41.33
Right and it's so simple,
you're brushing you teeth
00:15:41.37\00:15:43.65
move... when you're
brushing your teeth, okay...
00:15:43.68\00:15:45.92
walking through your
house... walk briskly through
00:15:45.96\00:15:48.01
the house... let's do
the stuff we used to do
00:15:48.05\00:15:50.20
let's sweep...
let's hang things up...
00:15:50.24\00:15:53.77
let's move... that's what
gives the body activity...
00:15:53.80\00:15:57.80
but now we sit... we
do the remote control...
00:15:57.84\00:16:00.04
That's true...
Right... the vacuum cleaner...
00:16:00.08\00:16:02.25
whoosh... Or you
have the robot...
00:16:02.29\00:16:04.76
robot instead of the
vacuum cleaner right...
00:16:04.80\00:16:07.36
and we don't hang
clothes on the line anymore...
00:16:07.39\00:16:09.39
I remember growing
up, we were out there...
00:16:09.42\00:16:11.23
fighting with the clothes,
pulling them off the line, right
00:16:11.26\00:16:14.66
now we just throw
them into the dryer...
00:16:14.70\00:16:16.51
throw them in the
wash, take them out,
00:16:16.55\00:16:18.30
throw them into the dryer...
okay... then put them away...
00:16:18.33\00:16:20.62
Right... So
activity has just been moved
00:16:20.65\00:16:24.22
right out... at the
expense of technology...
00:16:24.25\00:16:27.78
Hmmm... We're not saying,
00:16:27.81\00:16:29.71
"Get rid of the technology...
" but we have to be mindful
00:16:29.74\00:16:33.23
of what's happening...
right... Absolutely...
00:16:33.26\00:16:35.09
we have to be
mindful... so, we've got to say,
00:16:35.12\00:16:37.32
"I've got to be physically
active on purpose... "
00:16:37.35\00:16:39.51
I'm taking that
out from Joyce Meyer,
00:16:39.54\00:16:42.41
she says, "Be physically
active on purpose... "
00:16:42.44\00:16:45.22
you got to purposely do
it... you got to think that
00:16:45.25\00:16:48.00
"What can I do to
be active?" you see...
00:16:48.03\00:16:50.93
That's very true... we
have to be intentional...
00:16:50.96\00:16:53.17
we have to be intentional...
and some people say,
00:16:53.20\00:16:55.33
"Well, you know, I
can't sleep at night. "
00:16:55.37\00:16:56.83
I say, "Why can't
you sleep at night?"
00:16:56.87\00:16:58.57
they say, "because
I'm not so tired... "
00:16:58.61\00:17:00.07
because you haven't
done anything all day...
00:17:00.11\00:17:01.58
you've just been
sitting around all day...
00:17:01.62\00:17:03.02
the body is not going to want
to sleep if you haven't anything
00:17:03.06\00:17:05.01
all day...
right... so you've got to be
00:17:05.05\00:17:07.15
able to move... so you're
tired, so you can sleep...
00:17:07.44\00:17:09.28
Right... right... right... right
So, that stress management,
00:17:09.31\00:17:14.55
the sleep... being
physically active...
00:17:14.59\00:17:19.41
now you start
triggering those mitochondria...
00:17:19.45\00:17:22.08
Hmmm... okay, you
start creaking those
00:17:22.12\00:17:24.06
mitochondria... they're saying,
00:17:24.09\00:17:25.35
"Oh, we have
stuff going on here...
00:17:25.38\00:17:26.61
we've got to
increase numbers here
00:17:26.64\00:17:28.36
so that we can burn some
calories here... let's move it"
00:17:28.40\00:17:32.84
otherwise the
less exercise you do...
00:17:32.87\00:17:35.54
the more tired you
become... That is really true...
00:17:35.57\00:17:39.44
right... you
say, "I'm so tired...
00:17:39.47\00:17:41.05
I don't want to do anything...
" and that's how I was...
00:17:41.09\00:17:43.09
because I
gained... all this weight...
00:17:43.13\00:17:44.95
when I first got married...
00:17:44.99\00:17:48.07
Let's talk about
your journey a bit...
00:17:48.11\00:17:50.84
So were you really
thin before you got married?
00:17:50.87\00:17:55.11
Oh yeah... I was just like...
maybe like 140 or 150 pounds...
00:17:55.14\00:17:58.32
you know, slim, you
know... I had my first child...
00:17:58.36\00:18:03.13
lost all the
weight... right back down to...
00:18:03.17\00:18:06.82
where I could fit into
those nice little outfits,
00:18:06.86\00:18:09.18
I said, "Yeah, that's
what I'm talking about... "
00:18:09.22\00:18:11.51
Okay... I had my second
child, oh my goodness...
00:18:11.55\00:18:13.85
I ballooned... okay...
00:18:13.89\00:18:15.85
okay... it was little harder,
so I didn't quite get back down
00:18:15.88\00:18:18.80
but then, it was a
stressful time in my life...
00:18:18.84\00:18:21.67
I was in
Residency... so I was staying up
00:18:21.71\00:18:24.65
24 to 30 hours... long hours,
so now, my metabolic switch
00:18:24.69\00:18:31.39
got changed... you
see... Hmmm... hmmm...
00:18:31.42\00:18:35.03
you know, so, even
though I was active...
00:18:35.07\00:18:37.79
I mean... I would run
around the hospital, you know,
00:18:37.82\00:18:40.51
you're running up
and down the stairs,
00:18:40.55\00:18:41.95
you don't stand
at the elevators,
00:18:41.98\00:18:43.29
but my switch was changed,
because my sleep was messed up
00:18:43.32\00:18:47.17
Right... right... you
see... and then it continued
00:18:47.20\00:18:50.11
and when I got
into private practice...
00:18:50.14\00:18:51.85
working long hours...
I'd be working till midnight,
00:18:51.88\00:18:55.42
one o'clock in the morning,
00:18:55.46\00:18:57.05
and then I'd be getting up
at 6 o'clock in the morning,
00:18:57.08\00:18:59.31
then I'd come home... I'd say,
00:18:59.35\00:19:00.93
"Well, I'm so
busy during the day...
00:19:00.97\00:19:02.36
I don't have time to eat...
I'd come home, I'm so tired,
00:19:02.40\00:19:04.66
I'm tired... but
I'm hungry... Right...
00:19:04.70\00:19:06.93
so, I'm saying, "Oh, well, I
got some fruit juice here... "
00:19:06.97\00:19:10.57
loaded calories... right?
so it's adding insult to injury
00:19:10.60\00:19:14.17
because my
insulin is already high
00:19:14.20\00:19:15.63
because my cortisol is high
so now I just poured more on it
00:19:15.67\00:19:18.90
okay... and I
just... I just ballooned...
00:19:18.94\00:19:23.61
I just ballooned...
it was unbelievable...
00:19:23.64\00:19:28.28
Over a period of how much time?
00:19:28.31\00:19:30.45
I would say...
over a 10-year period...
00:19:30.48\00:19:33.36
and then it accelerated
over like a 3-5 year period...
00:19:33.39\00:19:37.49
Hmmm... I think I got some
00:19:37.52\00:19:38.73
before-and-after pictures right?
00:19:38.77\00:19:40.00
Yeah, we're
going to put one up...
00:19:40.03\00:19:41.19
it was really something
when I looked at myself
00:19:41.23\00:19:43.74
you see... look
at this... Yes...
00:19:43.77\00:19:46.52
that was unbelievable...
when I looked at myself,
00:19:46.55\00:19:50.01
I started crying... I
said, "Wow, is that me?"
00:19:50.05\00:19:53.47
Hmmm... I'm like,
"That couldn't be me
00:19:53.50\00:19:55.94
how could that be me?"
It was me... and I'm sitting
00:19:55.97\00:19:59.00
talking to patients...
like I'm talking to you
00:19:59.03\00:20:00.67
saying, "Oh, you got
metabolic syndrome...
00:20:00.70\00:20:02.74
you got to lose
weight you got to move...
00:20:02.78\00:20:04.74
you got to do this... "
and as I'm talking to them,
00:20:04.78\00:20:07.59
I'm listening... I'm
thinking "Uh... you are talking
00:20:07.62\00:20:09.93
to yourself...
right?" Hmmm... hmmm...
00:20:09.97\00:20:11.66
"this is you... that
you've got to change" you see...
00:20:11.70\00:20:14.62
and so then... that's
when I started my journey
00:20:14.65\00:20:17.51
I was racing home so that
I could get to bed on time...
00:20:17.54\00:20:20.81
right... so all my cortisol...
got to get the cortisol down...
00:20:20.85\00:20:24.08
get the melatonin to
come up, get to sleep...
00:20:24.11\00:20:27.13
being physically
active, not eating late
00:20:27.17\00:20:29.90
and getting rid of
the empty calories...
00:20:29.93\00:20:32.63
now that's really important...
00:20:32.67\00:20:34.32
Let's talk about that...
You know, empty calories...
00:20:34.35\00:20:36.71
Such as...? a glass of juice...
00:20:36.75\00:20:39.50
Hmmm... like people say,
00:20:39.54\00:20:40.74
"but it's orange juice... "
00:20:40.78\00:20:41.92
Hmmm... or "it's
cranberry juice... "
00:20:41.95\00:20:44.40
and orange juice...
what is the orange juice
00:20:44.44\00:20:46.29
used for? to raise blood sugar
00:20:46.32\00:20:48.34
in hypoglycemics...
Thank you... so why would you
00:20:48.38\00:20:51.12
drink an 8-ounce
glass of orange juice?
00:20:51.16\00:20:53.05
there's no fiber in it...
so, if you want the orange...
00:20:53.08\00:20:57.85
eat the orange... Right...
00:20:57.89\00:20:59.27
if you want the
apple... eat the apple...
00:20:59.30\00:21:00.49
don't do the apple juice...
don't do the orange juice
00:21:00.52\00:21:03.41
even in pediatrics...
even in children...
00:21:03.44\00:21:05.10
we say, "Don't... give
them straight juice... "
00:21:05.13\00:21:07.09
we say, "dilute it...
dilute it... dilute it"
00:21:07.13\00:21:09.02
you see, so, why would
we think that we can do that
00:21:09.06\00:21:12.67
and we're going to
get away with it...
00:21:12.71\00:21:14.42
it's just empty calories...
calories we don't need...
00:21:14.46\00:21:17.59
it's easy... a swallow...
you got easily 500 calories
00:21:17.62\00:21:20.72
right there... right...
and then you add to that
00:21:20.76\00:21:23.72
then people drinking
sodas and then they say,
00:21:23.76\00:21:26.71
"But you know, I
don't do the dark sodas...
00:21:26.74\00:21:29.62
I do the white
sodas... " it doesn't matter
00:21:29.66\00:21:31.57
if it's dark or white... right
they've all got 12 teaspoons
00:21:31.60\00:21:34.43
of sugar... that's
going to give you a bunch of
00:21:34.46\00:21:37.12
empty calories that
you don't need... right?
00:21:37.16\00:21:38.83
That's right... that's right...
00:21:38.86\00:21:40.67
and even the
artificial sweeteners
00:21:40.70\00:21:42.10
Yes... they
actually cause weight gain.
00:21:42.13\00:21:44.64
Yes... they have studies that
show that... it actually causes
00:21:44.67\00:21:49.30
so if you think
that you're getting away
00:21:49.33\00:21:51.08
with not using sugar
00:21:51.12\00:21:52.77
even if you're not...
00:21:52.81\00:21:54.40
it's the chemicals...
Yes... the chemicals...
00:21:54.43\00:21:56.80
and it changes the... it's
a path in the brain... okay
00:21:56.83\00:22:00.04
it's a path in the
brain... also in the metabolism
00:22:00.07\00:22:03.24
and it's just not
healthy for you...
00:22:03.28\00:22:05.51
Right... Again
about weight gain,
00:22:05.54\00:22:08.30
there's also about toxicity...
if the body is toxic,
00:22:08.33\00:22:11.78
guess where it stores toxins?
00:22:11.82\00:22:14.31
In the fat...
00:22:14.35\00:22:16.28
In the fat... so the
toxins are in the fat...
00:22:16.31\00:22:18.80
Right... so the body says,
00:22:18.83\00:22:20.40
"Okay, you're all toxic...
you're eating all this...
00:22:20.43\00:22:22.31
not even real stuff,
not even real food... "
00:22:22.34\00:22:24.34
Right... Exactly...
00:22:24.56\00:22:25.64
so the body says, "Let
me just deal with this,
00:22:25.68\00:22:28.18
let me protect this person,
okay, let's just layer that on
00:22:28.21\00:22:31.80
okay, let's layer it on
00:22:31.84\00:22:34.19
because that's
where the toxins are... "
00:22:34.22\00:22:35.36
that's why, if
you're going to lose weight,
00:22:35.40\00:22:37.89
you got to do it
in a healthy way...
00:22:37.92\00:22:39.95
Hmmm... hmmm...
00:22:39.98\00:22:41.11
so your body is
detoxing at the same time...
00:22:41.15\00:22:43.17
you've got to have those
green leafy vegetables...
00:22:43.21\00:22:45.57
you've got to have the
fiber, your beans, your legumes,
00:22:45.61\00:22:48.43
all of those... so that
it can take out those toxins
00:22:48.47\00:22:51.63
as you are shrinking
down, or else you're going to be
00:22:51.67\00:22:54.80
skinny and sick... And
sick... because the body
00:22:54.83\00:22:57.36
will re-absorb the
toxins... Thank you...
00:22:57.39\00:22:59.65
the toxins have to come
out... They've got to come out.
00:22:59.68\00:23:02.56
You know, Dr. Christine, I
know some physicians that say,
00:23:02.59\00:23:05.43
"Oh you don't need
to detox the body...
00:23:05.47\00:23:07.22
it naturally detoxes"
no, you do need to detox
00:23:07.25\00:23:10.36
We do need to detox...
We're taking in toxic air,
00:23:10.40\00:23:13.47
toxic water, toxic
food, Toxic everything...
00:23:13.51\00:23:16.90
Everything... Right... right...
00:23:16.94\00:23:18.55
you know the body... it is
fearfully and wonderfully made
00:23:18.58\00:23:20.88
and we've got
organs of elimination
00:23:20.92\00:23:22.65
we've got the skin,
we've got the lungs,
00:23:22.69\00:23:24.24
we have the
kidneys, we've got to drink
00:23:24.27\00:23:25.95
and flush the kidneys...
00:23:25.99\00:23:27.24
we've got the
gastrointestinal tract
00:23:27.27\00:23:29.11
we've got the liver
which is fabulous...
00:23:29.14\00:23:30.90
Hmmm... hmmm...
okay... but... when you have
00:23:30.94\00:23:33.96
all these toxins coming
in... you have to support
00:23:34.00\00:23:37.67
that process... Hmmm...
00:23:37.70\00:23:39.40
and not keep adding to
it... you know, if you're eating
00:23:39.44\00:23:41.95
chicken that's got a
lot of hormones in it,
00:23:41.98\00:23:43.92
do you know what they do
00:23:43.95\00:23:45.06
to make those
chickens grow so fast...
00:23:45.09\00:23:47.17
and if you're
eating those chickens
00:23:47.21\00:23:49.26
You're going to grow
fast... Exactly... right...
00:23:49.29\00:23:51.88
and your body has to detoxify...
00:23:51.92\00:23:54.95
I've had to take
little girls off chicken...
00:23:54.98\00:23:57.90
because their menstrual
cycles are being messed up...
00:23:57.93\00:24:00.46
right? Yes... yes...
00:24:00.49\00:24:02.26
and the hormone processing
00:24:02.29\00:24:04.38
happens in the
level of the liver...
00:24:04.41\00:24:05.63
so we have to
support the organs...
00:24:05.66\00:24:07.90
of detoxification... as
we are losing the weight,
00:24:07.94\00:24:11.32
so it's a
comprehensive program...
00:24:11.35\00:24:13.13
Yes... it's a
comprehensive approach
00:24:13.16\00:24:14.87
you have to look at everything,
and not just one thing...
00:24:14.90\00:24:18.98
And see... that
is key too... because
00:24:19.02\00:24:21.54
so often we'll say,
"Okay, I got to reduce calories"
00:24:21.57\00:24:24.76
"Okay, well I can't do carbs"
"Okay, well I can't do gluten"
00:24:24.79\00:24:28.47
"Okay... " and so
you take one thing
00:24:28.50\00:24:30.98
instead of looking
at the whole picture...
00:24:31.02\00:24:34.04
and it's the whole picture...
00:24:34.08\00:24:36.52
that says, "Okay, this
is your unique profile,
00:24:36.56\00:24:40.46
this is what we need to do... "
and that's the kind of physician
00:24:40.50\00:24:44.72
you are... I know you are,
and I think that's so incredible
00:24:44.76\00:24:48.70
because, it's unusual to
see allopathic physicians
00:24:48.73\00:24:53.88
who do integrative medicine...
00:24:53.92\00:24:57.02
Well, that's what I'm about...
00:24:57.05\00:24:59.51
and I know that some
people may be feeling...
00:24:59.55\00:25:01.75
"Oh, my goodness, that
just seems such a lot... "
00:25:01.79\00:25:03.85
well do the best
with what you've got...
00:25:03.88\00:25:06.93
Hmmm... hmmm... okay,
and you start somewhere...
00:25:06.97\00:25:09.16
but you do
something... okay... you say,
00:25:09.20\00:25:12.22
"Well, I can't walk 30 minutes
a day... I'd be so tired... "
00:25:12.25\00:25:16.65
then you walk 5 minutes a
day... but do it everyday...
00:25:16.69\00:25:19.52
Right... okay...
00:25:19.55\00:25:21.01
and if you've been
going to bed at midnight...
00:25:21.05\00:25:23.21
okay, say, "Okay, well, I going
to try to go to bed at 11:30"
00:25:23.25\00:25:26.41
just do
something and make a change
00:25:26.44\00:25:29.52
in the right direction...
if you have something
00:25:29.55\00:25:31.47
that's horizontal like
this, even a little change...
00:25:31.51\00:25:33.53
like that... now
you're going completely
00:25:33.56\00:25:35.84
in a different direction
than if you're like this
00:25:35.88\00:25:37.69
or you're like
that... so even little change
00:25:37.72\00:25:39.80
the trajectory will end up
being a huge change over time...
00:25:39.84\00:25:43.86
And see that's such a
good point because, I think,
00:25:43.89\00:25:46.35
people need to know
that you're not expected
00:25:46.38\00:25:49.52
to do everything...
cold turkey... and just...
00:25:49.56\00:25:52.63
everything perfectly right
away, make some little changes
00:25:52.67\00:25:56.22
Little steps...
Increase your water everyday...
00:25:56.26\00:25:59.00
right... drink a
little bit more water...
00:25:59.04\00:26:01.56
Drink a little bit more
water when you wake up...
00:26:01.59\00:26:03.11
so, I have bought
myself a Brita Filter,
00:26:03.14\00:26:06.39
Hmmm... hmmm... you
know, the one where you can
00:26:06.42\00:26:08.80
put the single bottle
one, right at your bedside,
00:26:08.84\00:26:10.91
because if you
know that you'll get up
00:26:10.95\00:26:12.18
and then forget about that...
so, then, it's right there,
00:26:12.21\00:26:14.82
it's my reminder...
"Okay, I need to have
00:26:14.85\00:26:17.74
all 22 ounces gone... by the
time I move out of the bedroom
00:26:17.78\00:26:22.08
Hmmm... Right... so, I've got it
00:26:22.11\00:26:23.63
right there and I can
drink that water right away...
00:26:23.67\00:26:25.80
so you got to
write down your goals
00:26:25.83\00:26:29.04
and then implement it...
if you just think about it,
00:26:29.07\00:26:32.14
it's hard just to
think about something
00:26:32.17\00:26:34.39
Right... and implement...
00:26:34.43\00:26:35.52
you got to say, "Okay, I'm going
to go to bed at this time... "
00:26:35.56\00:26:38.97
I'm going to walk
for 5 minutes, okay...
00:26:39.01\00:26:41.61
okay, if you've been
eating a lot of meat... you say,
00:26:41.65\00:26:43.79
"Well, maybe
I'll change to fish"
00:26:43.83\00:26:45.56
you see... if you've
been eating a lot of chips...
00:26:45.60\00:26:47.71
okay, you say, "Well,
maybe instead of getting
00:26:47.74\00:26:50.51
a bag of chips... I
might get a bag of carrots,
00:26:50.54\00:26:53.36
you see, so you make
these little changes...
00:26:53.40\00:26:56.18
Yes... in that direction...
00:26:56.22\00:26:57.98
and over time... it
becomes part of your habit,
00:26:58.01\00:27:00.55
we don't need to
make quick weight loss,
00:27:00.59\00:27:02.19
and then bounce right back...
we want it to be a lifestyle,
00:27:02.23\00:27:05.55
Exactly...
00:27:05.59\00:27:06.85
you see that's what
we're looking for...
00:27:06.89\00:27:08.19
We are looking for
change that's sustainable...
00:27:08.22\00:27:11.47
That's it...
00:27:11.51\00:27:12.83
Not the "flash
in the pan change"
00:27:12.86\00:27:14.65
but change that's sustainable...
you have been so insightful
00:27:14.69\00:27:19.06

Well, that's the end
of our Program for today,
00:27:30.01\00:27:32.46
you know, Dr. Salter
gave us some great tips
00:27:32.49\00:27:34.90
some great points
and we can use them
00:27:34.93\00:27:37.38
and implement
them, the Bible says that
00:27:37.42\00:27:39.58
we are fearfully
and wonderfully made...
00:27:39.61\00:27:41.71
and that is truly, truly,
so... so, make sure that you
00:27:41.74\00:27:46.31
appreciate this body
that God has given you...
00:27:46.34\00:27:49.44
by taking care of it
and taking these steps...
00:27:49.47\00:27:52.14
that's the end of
our Program for today...
00:27:52.17\00:27:54.80
thanks so much for tuning in...

because you know what...
00:27:56.33\00:27:58.96
it just wouldn't be
the same without you...
