The Doctor's in the house...
00:00:02.70\00:00:04.53
My name is Yvonne
Lewis and you're watching
00:00:04.60\00:00:06.94
Urban Report...
00:00:06.97\00:00:08.30
Hello and welcome
to Urban Report...
00:00:29.16\00:00:31.93
My guest today is
Dr. Christine Salter
00:00:31.96\00:00:34.63
Director of the Center for
Vibrant Health and Wellness
00:00:34.66\00:00:37.67
in St. Louis, Missouri...
Welcome to Urban Report
00:00:37.70\00:00:40.64
Dr. Salter... Thank
you... I'm glad to be here
00:00:40.67\00:00:43.54
it is so good to have you here,
may I call you Dr. Christine?
00:00:43.57\00:00:46.78
You may...
Okay... great... so...
00:00:46.81\00:00:48.71
today we're going to
talk about obesity...
00:00:48.74\00:00:51.71
Yes... and so many of us...
00:00:51.75\00:00:55.35
want to lose weight
00:00:55.38\00:00:56.82
and keep it off... Right...
00:00:56.85\00:00:58.99
Okay, let me just start with...
why do people gain weight
00:00:59.02\00:01:04.23
in the first place?
You know there are lots of
00:01:04.26\00:01:06.59
reasons for gaining
weight... you know you can say,
00:01:06.63\00:01:09.50
like a mathematical equation
calories in... calories out...
00:01:09.53\00:01:13.44
if they're round about the
same, there's no weight gain
00:01:13.47\00:01:17.31
or weight loss... if
there are a lot more calories
00:01:17.34\00:01:19.84
in or a lot more
energy in... and less out...
00:01:19.87\00:01:22.91
you're going to gain
weight... but it's not all...
00:01:22.98\00:01:26.41
it's not that simple though...
because... it's also about
00:01:26.45\00:01:30.22
your metabolism... and
what's going on with the
00:01:30.25\00:01:32.79
metabolism...
there's something called a...
00:01:32.82\00:01:34.79
like a "fat switch" Hmmm...
00:01:34.82\00:01:36.79
and so, sometimes what
we do with our metabolism,
00:01:36.83\00:01:40.83
we switch that "fat switch"
on, and we gain weight...
00:01:40.86\00:01:44.77
and find it hard to
actually lose the weight...
00:01:44.80\00:01:47.84
now what... okay...
for viewers who don't know
00:01:47.87\00:01:50.91
what metabolism
is... what is metabolism?
00:01:50.94\00:01:53.44
so metabolism is the
way that our body works...
00:01:53.48\00:01:57.15
it's using the energy
00:01:57.18\00:01:59.31
in the body
00:01:59.35\00:02:00.75
okay... Okay and so there's a
00:02:00.78\00:02:03.35
"fat switch" there's
a switch actually that
00:02:03.39\00:02:05.82
turns on the ability
00:02:05.85\00:02:08.39
or the tendency to store fat?
00:02:08.42\00:02:10.79
tell us about that... So,
it's not a physical switch
00:02:10.83\00:02:14.20
it's like "metabolic
switch" it has to do with the
00:02:14.23\00:02:17.30
what we call the mitochondria
in the cells... the energy...
00:02:17.33\00:02:20.24
the little
organelles in the cells
00:02:20.30\00:02:22.20
and how they function...
00:02:22.24\00:02:23.57
their ability to function
and how many of them are there
00:02:23.61\00:02:27.84
and the
different things that we do
00:02:27.88\00:02:29.44
will change the level
of those mitochondria...
00:02:29.48\00:02:32.31
so it's not just simply...
calories in... calories out...
00:02:32.35\00:02:35.85
Hmmm... but calories do count...
00:02:35.88\00:02:38.12
so it's not enough to
say, "Well, I'm going to eat
00:02:38.15\00:02:41.29
a thousand calories...
but it's all junkie calories"
00:02:41.32\00:02:43.79
those junkie calories
are going to switch on
00:02:43.83\00:02:46.83
that "fat switch"
Isn't that interesting
00:02:46.86\00:02:49.70
so you could have
even maybe a little less
00:02:49.76\00:02:52.60
calories but they
are junkie calories
00:02:52.63\00:02:55.04
and they still can
turn on the fat switch...
00:02:55.07\00:02:57.21
Absolutely... Now
you hear this viewers...
00:02:57.24\00:02:59.37
you're hearing it
on Urban Report...
00:02:59.41\00:03:01.34
from Dr. Salter...
okay... so... what does a person
00:03:01.38\00:03:06.98
do... let's say... you
just keep on gaining weight
00:03:07.02\00:03:12.55
and you're trying to eat
better but you don't really know
00:03:12.59\00:03:15.92
what to do...
where do you start?
00:03:15.96\00:03:17.29
So, you've really got to
look at the lifestyle first...
00:03:17.33\00:03:22.06
even before you start
talking about the calories
00:03:22.13\00:03:25.27
you're eating or
even what you're eating...
00:03:25.30\00:03:26.97
because there's something
very fundamental like...
00:03:27.00\00:03:29.54
your sleep... Hmmm...
00:03:29.57\00:03:31.94
and your stress levels...
00:03:31.97\00:03:33.31
Let's talk a little
bit about about sleep...
00:03:33.34\00:03:35.04
because I don't think people
really know that connection
00:03:35.11\00:03:38.28
between weight gain
00:03:38.31\00:03:39.71
and sleep deprivation...
00:03:39.75\00:03:41.65
so, let's talk a
little bit about that...
00:03:41.68\00:03:44.19
Okay... so, we are...
we are designed to have
00:03:44.22\00:03:46.69
round about 7
to 8 hours of sleep
00:03:46.72\00:03:49.69
so, at a certain time...
not any time of the day...
00:03:49.72\00:03:54.73
okay... we're on
the circadian rhythm...
00:03:54.83\00:03:56.83
okay... but on
the circadian rhythm,
00:03:56.87\00:03:58.83
you know... a cycle...
to do with the light...
00:03:58.87\00:04:02.57
so your body sees the light
and then you know you get up
00:04:02.60\00:04:05.37
in the morning... and
then go through the day
00:04:05.41\00:04:07.88
and when the sun goes down
you get tired and go to sleep
00:04:07.91\00:04:10.85
it's all to do with hormones,
and neurotransmitters...
00:04:10.88\00:04:14.25
okay.. so we're supposed
to go to sleep before midnight
00:04:14.28\00:04:17.55
okay... we're supposed to
get our sleep before midnight
00:04:17.59\00:04:21.92
and when you're sleeping,
we go through different levels
00:04:21.96\00:04:26.26
of sleep and as you go
into these different levels,
00:04:26.29\00:04:29.66
we get a
metabolic change in hormones
00:04:29.70\00:04:32.07
that are released...
and so those hormones help
00:04:32.10\00:04:35.70
with energy... so while
you think you're resting
00:04:35.74\00:04:39.31
the body is
working very hard, Hmmm...
00:04:39.34\00:04:41.71
and so when they
looked to the studies...
00:04:41.74\00:04:43.91
they found that
people who sleep less hours,
00:04:43.95\00:04:46.08
have more
weight... more diabetes...
00:04:46.11\00:04:49.08
more cancer... their
hormones get messed up
00:04:49.12\00:04:52.49
so one of the
most fundamental things
00:04:52.52\00:04:53.89
even for hormone
balancing is to see that
00:04:53.92\00:04:55.39
I get enough sleep...
Wow... isn't that interesting
00:04:55.42\00:04:58.79
because so many
times... you never think about
00:04:58.86\00:05:03.26
"I'm not getting enough sleep
and I'm gaining weight... "
00:05:03.30\00:05:06.74
but it has to do
with hormonal balance...
00:05:06.77\00:05:09.17
It's hormonal balance...
exactly that's the key...
00:05:09.20\00:05:11.87
Exactly... and so what happens
when you're getting tired
00:05:11.91\00:05:16.71
to go to bed... what happens...
the cortisol is supposed to go
00:05:16.75\00:05:21.42
down and decrease, the
melatonin is supposed to
00:05:21.45\00:05:24.82
then come up and increase...
and so you get tired...
00:05:24.85\00:05:27.32
you go to sleep... but instead
you're on the computer...
00:05:27.36\00:05:29.76
we're in different
cities... that it's like
00:05:29.79\00:05:33.66
it's broad daylight and
it's like midnight... okay
00:05:33.70\00:05:36.23
and people are walking around
00:05:36.26\00:05:37.60
so what's going to happen now,
00:05:37.63\00:05:38.97
the cortisol says,
00:05:39.00\00:05:40.34
"Oh, I'm supposed to be
awake" so the cortisol then...
00:05:40.37\00:05:43.24
instead of it going
down, it begins to rise...
00:05:43.27\00:05:45.67
Wow... now when
cortisol is elevated...
00:05:45.71\00:05:48.81
one of its normal
mechanisms to do...
00:05:48.84\00:05:51.85
is to raise blood
sugar... okay... all right...
00:05:51.88\00:05:56.25
Isn't that interesting...
so you're raising blood sugar
00:05:56.28\00:05:58.02
and then,
eventually, you go to bed...
00:05:58.05\00:06:00.49
but now you've got
these levels of blood sugar
00:06:00.52\00:06:01.92
the body says, "What
do I have to do with this
00:06:01.96\00:06:03.32
because I am not
going to work anywhere
00:06:03.36\00:06:05.03
I'd better lay
this down as fat... "
00:06:05.06\00:06:06.76
Right... because when
insulin is increased...
00:06:06.80\00:06:10.40
it helps to store fat...
00:06:10.47\00:06:12.83
It stores fat...
it's a fat trigger...
00:06:12.87\00:06:15.40
Wow... Okay, so
now, the cortisol is
00:06:15.44\00:06:17.87
high... insulin is
high... and as it continues,
00:06:17.91\00:06:20.81
then we get into a
state of what we call
00:06:20.84\00:06:22.68
"insulin resistance"
it's a state of "fat storage"
00:06:22.71\00:06:27.78
and as hard as you try to say
you're going to lose the weight,
00:06:27.85\00:06:31.62
and you simply keep staying
up, and not getting the sleep,
00:06:31.65\00:06:35.39
you're not going
to lose any weight...
00:06:35.42\00:06:36.76
you're in "insulin resistance"
that weight is not coming off...
00:06:36.79\00:06:39.73
Wow... see... we
can't fool the body...
00:06:39.76\00:06:42.23
Right... right... Okay...
00:06:42.26\00:06:44.03
right... isn't it amazing how
00:06:44.07\00:06:46.53
God has created these bodies!
00:06:46.57\00:06:48.97
Fabulous... I mean... we're
fearfully and wonderfully made
00:06:49.00\00:06:51.34
so intricate... you know...
00:06:51.37\00:06:54.34
one thing happens
here... it dominoes here...
00:06:54.38\00:06:57.78
and the body...
it's not that it's...
00:06:57.81\00:07:00.92
it's just doing what
you're... it's just responding
00:07:00.95\00:07:04.22
to what you're doing... Yes...
00:07:04.25\00:07:05.59
You stay up late... it says,
00:07:05.62\00:07:06.96
"I need
cortisol... I need insulin... "
00:07:06.99\00:07:09.19
It's responding to you...
00:07:09.22\00:07:10.56
It's responding to
what you're doing...
00:07:10.59\00:07:11.96
Wow... you see...
it's responding to
00:07:11.99\00:07:13.83
what you're doing
so in that setting...
00:07:13.86\00:07:15.56
just right there... if somebody
would just go to bed on time...
00:07:15.60\00:07:19.93
that will be huge... as
far as the weight management
00:07:19.97\00:07:23.51
Going to bed on time...
Just going to bed on time...
00:07:23.54\00:07:27.08
and getting 7 to
8 hours of sleep...
00:07:27.11\00:07:28.44
I have to tell
you... one of my...
00:07:28.48\00:07:30.61
I wear this bracelet...
it's not a bracelet...
00:07:30.65\00:07:35.35
it's not a bracelet...
so nobody gets panicked...
00:07:35.38\00:07:38.02
don't send me e-mails...
00:07:38.05\00:07:39.39
it's not a bracelet...
this is a... motion...
00:07:39.42\00:07:42.99
kind of... sensor...
it's an activity gauge...
00:07:43.02\00:07:46.43
it lets me know how many
steps I've done that day...
00:07:46.46\00:07:49.73
how much sleep I've
gotten and I said that because
00:07:49.76\00:07:53.54
my sleep levels have
just really gone down a lot
00:07:53.57\00:07:57.31
because I'm
thinking... or I'm relaxing...
00:07:57.34\00:07:59.81
or watching
something on television,
00:07:59.84\00:08:01.71
and that keeps you awake...
which then causes the hormone
00:08:01.78\00:08:06.85
so... I see now...
what you're saying...
00:08:06.88\00:08:08.95
right... it really
makes a lot of sense
00:08:08.98\00:08:11.02
that if we go to bed...
Ellen White says this too...
00:08:11.05\00:08:12.99
that sleep before midnight,
is equal to like 2 hours more
00:08:13.02\00:08:17.59
than it would... after...
Absolutely... absolutely...
00:08:17.63\00:08:21.56
so, it's critical... so
sleep deprivation is one thing
00:08:21.60\00:08:25.43
and you said,
stress is another thing
00:08:25.47\00:08:27.24
Stress is huge...
Okay... let's talk about stress
00:08:27.27\00:08:29.34
Okay... so, you know, people
say, "You know I just can't get
00:08:29.37\00:08:31.74
rid of this
belly fat... " Hmmm...
00:08:31.77\00:08:34.61
Right... Hmmm... hmmm...
00:08:34.64\00:08:35.98
you know, or...
"Did you see this
00:08:36.01\00:08:37.65
weight gain around the waist?"
and of course, that's a more
00:08:37.68\00:08:41.38
that's a more
challenging type of fat...
00:08:41.42\00:08:43.45
there are
different kinds of fat now...
00:08:43.49\00:08:46.62
so people... we
have the obesity Right...
00:08:46.65\00:08:49.69
right... and so we
talk about the "Apple Shape"
00:08:49.72\00:08:52.33
Hmmm... and then
we talk the "Pear"
00:08:52.36\00:08:54.93
and we have a graphic of that...
Yeah, we do have that, right,
00:08:54.93\00:08:58.33
Yeah, so let's talk
about that. So look at...
00:08:58.37\00:09:01.20
see the apple shape...
this is a problem right here...
00:09:01.24\00:09:04.04
see this fat... this
is metabolically active
00:09:04.07\00:09:08.18
inflammatory
dangerous fat... Hmmm...
00:09:08.21\00:09:12.35
that will cause
heart attacks, stroke,
00:09:12.41\00:09:16.65
cancer... all kind of problems
obstructive sleep apnea...
00:09:16.69\00:09:20.92
it's just
sending out inflammation
00:09:20.96\00:09:23.69
that's what it's doing...
it's like a little fire...
00:09:23.73\00:09:26.43
Isn't it interesting
that something like fat
00:09:26.46\00:09:30.50
which we think of
as just "extra pounds"
00:09:30.57\00:09:33.34
padding... right...
00:09:33.37\00:09:35.47
extra padding... extra
pounds, we look at that
00:09:35.50\00:09:38.34
as being
something we don't want,
00:09:38.37\00:09:40.81
but now you're telling us
that not only is it unsightly...
00:09:40.84\00:09:44.88
but it's also doing something...
00:09:44.91\00:09:47.38
It's dangerous... I
have another graphic
00:09:47.42\00:09:49.45
about metabolic
syndrome... Oh... okay...
00:09:49.48\00:09:53.09
that shows... it
shows that abdominal fat
00:09:53.12\00:09:56.49
that is actually...
it's like an organ...
00:09:56.52\00:09:59.83
it's an inflammatory
organ, I mean, I do blood tests
00:09:59.86\00:10:03.50
and I can tell...
without even looking...
00:10:03.53\00:10:05.73
I can tell who's
got the abdominal fat...
00:10:05.80\00:10:07.97
Hmmm... because
you see all these
00:10:08.00\00:10:09.34
inflammatory cytokines...
so you know that it's doing
00:10:09.37\00:10:12.84
a dangerous job and
so that's really key
00:10:12.87\00:10:15.58
to get that
metabolic syndrome...
00:10:15.61\00:10:19.11
that abdominal fat gone...
which is different from the
00:10:19.15\00:10:21.82
"pear" which has got
the fat on the hips...
00:10:21.85\00:10:24.75
Hmmm... little waist...
00:10:24.82\00:10:26.15
fat on the hips
00:10:26.19\00:10:27.52
well you know... you
may want to lose that
00:10:27.56\00:10:29.76
just for cosmetic
reasons but it does not have
00:10:29.79\00:10:32.73
the same effect as
this one right here, okay...
00:10:32.76\00:10:35.56
Isn't it interesting that
when you to go a physician
00:10:35.60\00:10:39.87
like yourself...
they often say... that...
00:10:39.90\00:10:43.34
they measure
the circumference...
00:10:43.37\00:10:45.14
Right, the
waist circumference...
00:10:45.17\00:10:46.91
because that is an indicator
of and it's a risk factor
00:10:46.94\00:10:51.35
for heart disease...
Right, actually, that is more
00:10:51.41\00:10:54.38
of an indicator than
even blood pressure...
00:10:54.42\00:10:56.79
it happens to be the
number one indicator...
00:10:56.82\00:10:59.12
just measure the
waist circumference...
00:10:59.19\00:11:01.52
Hmmm...
00:11:01.56\00:11:03.02
Okay, greater than 40 in
men, greater than 35 in women...
00:11:03.06\00:11:05.93
increases the risk
for heart disease...
00:11:05.96\00:11:08.16
Isn't that something...
say that again please... Doctor
00:11:08.20\00:11:10.23
because they
need to hear that...
00:11:10.27\00:11:11.60
Greater... If your
waist is larger than...
00:11:11.63\00:11:14.07
40 inches in men...
and 35 inches in women...
00:11:14.10\00:11:16.44
there's an increased
risk for heart disease...
00:11:16.47\00:11:18.74
just take out your tape
measure, you don't have to go
00:11:18.77\00:11:20.74
to the doctor... just
take out your tape measure
00:11:20.78\00:11:23.11
and you know right there...
that you've got an issue
00:11:23.14\00:11:25.48
and that things have to change.
00:11:25.51\00:11:27.82
That is
amazing... so this fat...
00:11:27.85\00:11:31.22
that's sitting
around that middle,
00:11:31.25\00:11:34.42
it is not just sitting there...
00:11:34.46\00:11:37.53
it's causing big
problems... Problems...
00:11:37.59\00:11:39.79
It's dangerous...
And one of the problems
00:11:39.83\00:11:41.96
that causes that...
00:11:42.00\00:11:44.40
that's what we
were talking about...
00:11:44.43\00:11:45.77
that's what we're
talking about stress...
00:11:45.80\00:11:47.14
because stress causes this
00:11:47.17\00:11:48.84
chronic level of
cortisol... and cortisol says,
00:11:48.90\00:11:52.71
"Let's raise the blood sugar,
and let's store the fat... "
00:11:52.74\00:11:55.74
"Oh, where are we
going to store the fat?"
00:11:55.78\00:11:57.11
"Let's, this is where
it goes" all right... so...
00:11:57.15\00:12:00.85
stress
management... Hmmm... hmmm...
00:12:00.92\00:12:03.39
is key... to fat management...
00:12:03.42\00:12:07.16
we've got to deal
with the stress...
00:12:07.19\00:12:08.72
and part of the stress
is getting enough sleep...
00:12:08.76\00:12:11.13
right... so we get all stressed
so we don't go to sleep...
00:12:11.16\00:12:14.10
That's right... Right...
00:12:14.10\00:12:15.43
That's right... But we
have to... we have to...
00:12:15.46\00:12:17.77
you know in the Bible...
the Bible says, you know,
00:12:17.80\00:12:20.60
was it, "The sleep of
the righteous is sweet. "
00:12:20.64\00:12:23.41
Right... Hmmm... hmmm...
00:12:23.44\00:12:24.97
so, we are
physiologically made to sleep...
00:12:25.01\00:12:27.68
and then, if you can't do
anything about the stress,
00:12:27.71\00:12:30.95
why stress? there's no point...
00:12:30.98\00:12:34.78
so we do all this stuff...
but we're not changing anything,
00:12:34.82\00:12:38.59
all we're doing is
courting a bunch of inflammation
00:12:38.62\00:12:41.26
Right... and it's
not changing the issue.
00:12:41.29\00:12:43.46
Right... You
see... so, we have to do
00:12:43.49\00:12:45.56
that deep breathing... we
have to do that relaxation,
00:12:45.63\00:12:49.20
and we have to exercise...
because exercise is a way of
00:12:49.23\00:12:52.83
diminishing
stress... It really is...
00:12:52.87\00:12:56.30
Right? It really is...
00:12:56.34\00:12:57.67
and I think that...
again for a lot of our viewers
00:12:57.71\00:13:02.01
who might not be
happy about exercising...
00:13:02.04\00:13:05.05
but there are
things that you can do
00:13:05.08\00:13:06.55
but you have to find
something that you like...
00:13:06.61\00:13:08.92
do what you like... like
some people love to walk...
00:13:08.95\00:13:13.25
Right... Well,
you know what I say...
00:13:13.29\00:13:15.99
and I used to ask about exercise
but we have changed it now to
00:13:16.02\00:13:20.83
physical activity
and movement, Ah...
00:13:20.86\00:13:23.83
just move... right...
Come on, unpack that for us...
00:13:23.87\00:13:27.24
Right, right, you
know what I'm saying...
00:13:27.27\00:13:28.60
just move...
because what happens is...
00:13:28.64\00:13:29.97
studies show...
if we sit all day...
00:13:30.01\00:13:31.34
people say, "You
know, I hard for 2 to 3
00:13:31.37\00:13:34.31
hours at the end of the
day... and I'm not losing
00:13:34.34\00:13:36.61
all this weight... " Well
because you sat for 8 hours
00:13:36.64\00:13:38.88
all day... and
what does the signal...
00:13:38.91\00:13:41.95
what's the body's
signal? Lay down fat...
00:13:41.98\00:13:44.92
that's what the studies
show... when you sit there...
00:13:44.95\00:13:46.89
it says, "You're
not doing anything...
00:13:46.92\00:13:49.49
you're just sitting
there... on your computer
00:13:49.56\00:13:51.26
not doing anything... "
00:13:51.29\00:13:52.63
the body says, "I'm
going to lay down fat... "
00:13:52.66\00:13:54.46
You can't work that off
at the end of the day...
00:13:54.46\00:13:57.07
you'll be in the gym
for like 8 hours... right...
00:13:57.10\00:13:59.63
so what you do... during the
day every 30 minutes to an hour,
00:13:59.67\00:14:03.30
you get up... do something...
go to the bathroom...
00:14:03.34\00:14:06.14
walk downstairs...
walk around the hall...
00:14:06.17\00:14:08.54
go get some
water... just move...
00:14:08.58\00:14:11.01
This is so good... because
so many people are stuck,
00:14:11.05\00:14:15.18
like me, in an
office... a lot Right...
00:14:15.22\00:14:17.59
and when you're at that computer
00:14:17.62\00:14:19.35
or you're in a meeting
or you're just sitting...
00:14:19.42\00:14:23.83
you're saying that
00:14:23.86\00:14:27.00
you're telling the body...
00:14:27.03\00:14:28.33
"Don't do anything...
just store some fat...
00:14:28.36\00:14:30.87
you're not moving... "
"You're not moving... store it"
00:14:30.90\00:14:33.90
Right... store it... so
imagine... if you got up...
00:14:33.94\00:14:36.91
on the hour... and
did 2 to 3 minutes...
00:14:36.94\00:14:40.14
that's all... that's
not a lot 2 to 3 minutes...
00:14:40.18\00:14:43.48
what's 8 hours times 3
that's 24 minutes of exercise
00:14:43.51\00:14:46.75
you've done by
the end of the day...
00:14:46.78\00:14:48.75
Come on now
Doctor... see... Okay...
00:14:48.78\00:14:50.65
that's why you're
here... Be physically active...
00:14:50.72\00:14:53.79
when I go... I travel a
lot... stay in a hotel...
00:14:53.82\00:14:57.63
Hmmm... hmmm... and
the last time I checked in,
00:14:57.66\00:15:00.90
and they said, "I have
you on the 19th floor... "
00:15:00.93\00:15:03.70
I said, "No, I want to be
able to walk the stairs...
00:15:03.73\00:15:06.50
you need to put me
down lower" I said...
00:15:06.53\00:15:09.34
and he goes... "Well,
I have the 4th floor. "
00:15:09.37\00:15:10.91
I said, "That's good enough"
00:15:10.94\00:15:12.27
So, I took my
suitcase to the room
00:15:12.31\00:15:15.21
because it was heavy... Right...
00:15:15.24\00:15:16.85
took it to the
room... after that
00:15:16.88\00:15:18.38
"Don't use the elevator again
until you're leaving the hotel"
00:15:18.41\00:15:23.39
Yes... "Take the stairs... "
00:15:23.42\00:15:25.25
because in modern living...
we have to force ourselves,
00:15:25.29\00:15:30.23
we've got to create the activity
don't take the elevator,
00:15:30.26\00:15:34.46
don't take the escalator,
take the stairs when you see it,
00:15:34.50\00:15:38.70
take the
stairs... That is so true...
00:15:38.73\00:15:41.27
Right and it's so simple,
you're brushing you teeth
00:15:41.30\00:15:43.61
move... when you're
brushing your teeth, okay...
00:15:43.64\00:15:45.87
walking through your
house... walk briskly through
00:15:45.91\00:15:47.94
the house... let's do
the stuff we used to do
00:15:48.01\00:15:50.15
let's sweep...
let's hang things up...
00:15:50.18\00:15:53.72
let's move... that's what
gives the body activity...
00:15:53.75\00:15:57.75
but now we sit... we
do the remote control...
00:15:57.79\00:16:00.06
That's true...
Right... the vacuum cleaner...
00:16:00.09\00:16:02.26
whoosh... Or you
have the robot...
00:16:02.29\00:16:04.76
robot instead of the
vacuum cleaner right...
00:16:04.83\00:16:07.36
and we don't hang
clothes on the line anymore...
00:16:07.40\00:16:09.36
I remember growing
up, we were out there...
00:16:09.40\00:16:11.20
fighting with the clothes,
pulling them off the line, right
00:16:11.23\00:16:14.64
now we just throw
them into the dryer...
00:16:14.67\00:16:16.50
throw them in the
wash, take them out,
00:16:16.54\00:16:18.27
throw them into the dryer...
okay... then put them away...
00:16:18.31\00:16:20.61
Right... So
activity has just been moved
00:16:20.64\00:16:24.21
right out... at the
expense of technology...
00:16:24.25\00:16:27.75
Hmmm... We're not saying,
00:16:27.78\00:16:29.68
"Get rid of the technology...
" but we have to be mindful
00:16:29.72\00:16:33.22
of what's happening...
right... Absolutely...
00:16:33.25\00:16:35.06
we have to be
mindful... so, we've got to say,
00:16:35.09\00:16:37.29
"I've got to be physically
active on purpose... "
00:16:37.33\00:16:39.49
I'm taking that
out from Joyce Meyer,
00:16:39.53\00:16:42.36
she says, "Be physically
active on purpose... "
00:16:42.40\00:16:45.17
you got to purposely do
it... you got to think that
00:16:45.20\00:16:47.94
"What can I do to
be active?" you see...
00:16:47.97\00:16:50.87
That's very true... we
have to be intentional...
00:16:50.91\00:16:53.11
we have to be intentional...
and some people say,
00:16:53.14\00:16:55.28
"Well, you know, I
can't sleep at night. "
00:16:55.31\00:16:56.78
I say, "Why can't
you sleep at night?"
00:16:56.81\00:16:58.51
they say, "because
I'm not so tired... "
00:16:58.55\00:17:00.08
because you haven't
done anything all day...
00:17:00.12\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
00:17:03.08\00:17:05.02
all day...
right... so you've got to be
00:17:05.05\00:17:07.16
able to move... so you're
tired, so you can sleep...
00:17:07.46\00:17:09.29
Right... right... right... right
So, that stress management,
00:17:09.32\00:17:14.56
the sleep... being
physically active...
00:17:14.56\00:17:19.40
now you start
triggering those mitochondria...
00:17:19.43\00:17:22.07
Hmmm... okay, you
start creaking those
00:17:22.10\00:17:24.04
mitochondria... they're saying,
00:17:24.07\00:17:25.41
"Oh, we have
stuff going on here...
00:17:25.44\00:17:26.78
we've got to
increase numbers here
00:17:26.81\00:17:28.34
so that we can burn some
calories here... let's move it"
00:17:28.38\00:17:32.81
otherwise the
less exercise you do...
00:17:32.85\00:17:35.52
the more tired you
become... That is really true...
00:17:35.55\00:17:39.42
right... you
say, "I'm so tired...
00:17:39.45\00:17:41.02
I don't want to do anything...
" and that's how I was...
00:17:41.06\00:17:43.06
because I
gained... all this weight...
00:17:43.12\00:17:44.93
when I first got married...
00:17:44.96\00:17:48.03
Let's talk about
your journey a bit...
00:17:48.06\00:17:50.80
So were you really
thin before you got married?
00:17:50.83\00:17:55.07
Oh yeah... I was just like...
maybe like 140 or 150 pounds...
00:17:55.10\00:17:58.27
you know, slim, you
know... I had my first child...
00:17:58.31\00:18:03.14
lost all the
weight... right back down to...
00:18:03.18\00:18:06.85
where I could fit into
those nice little outfits,
00:18:06.88\00:18:09.18
I said, "Yeah, that's
what I'm talking about... "
00:18:09.22\00:18:11.52
Okay... I had my second
child, oh my goodness...
00:18:11.55\00:18:13.86
I ballooned... okay...
00:18:13.89\00:18:15.86
okay... it was little harder,
so I didn't quite get back down
00:18:15.89\00:18:18.83
but then, it was a
stressful time in my life...
00:18:18.86\00:18:21.66
I was in
Residency... so I was staying up
00:18:21.70\00:18:24.63
24 to 30 hours... long hours,
so now, my metabolic switch
00:18:24.67\00:18:31.37
got changed... you
see... Hmmm... hmmm...
00:18:31.41\00:18:35.01
you know, so, even
though I was active...
00:18:35.04\00:18:37.78
I mean... I would run
around the hospital, you know,
00:18:37.81\00:18:40.48
you're running up
and down the stairs,
00:18:40.52\00:18:41.92
you don't stand
at the elevators,
00:18:41.95\00:18:43.28
but my switch was changed,
because my sleep was messed up
00:18:43.32\00:18:47.16
Right... right... you
see... and then it continued
00:18:47.19\00:18:50.09
and when I got
into private practice...
00:18:50.13\00:18:51.83
working long hours...
I'd be working till midnight,
00:18:51.86\00:18:55.36
one o'clock in the morning,
00:18:55.40\00:18:57.00
and then I'd be getting up
at 6 o'clock in the morning,
00:18:57.03\00:18:59.27
then I'd come home... I'd say,
00:18:59.30\00:19:00.94
"Well, I'm so
busy during the day...
00:19:00.97\00:19:02.37
I don't have time to eat...
I'd come home, I'm so tired,
00:19:02.40\00:19:04.67
I'm tired... but
I'm hungry... Right...
00:19:04.71\00:19:06.94
so, I'm saying, "Oh, well, I
got some fruit juice here... "
00:19:06.98\00:19:10.58
loaded calories... right?
so it's adding insult to injury
00:19:10.61\00:19:14.18
because my
insulin is already high
00:19:14.22\00:19:15.65
because my cortisol is high
so now I just poured more on it
00:19:15.68\00:19:18.92
okay... and I
just... I just ballooned...
00:19:18.95\00:19:23.63
I just ballooned...
it was unbelievable...
00:19:23.66\00:19:28.26
Over a period of how much time?
00:19:28.30\00:19:30.43
I would say...
over a 10-year period...
00:19:30.47\00:19:33.34
and then it accelerated
over like a 3-5 year period...
00:19:33.37\00:19:37.47
Hmmm... I think I got some
00:19:37.51\00:19:38.84
before-and-after pictures right?
00:19:38.87\00:19:40.21
Yeah, we're
going to put one up...
00:19:40.24\00:19:41.58
it was really something
when I looked at myself
00:19:41.61\00:19:43.71
you see... look
at this... Yes...
00:19:43.75\00:19:46.51
that was unbelievable...
when I looked at myself,
00:19:46.55\00:19:49.98
I started crying... I
said, "Wow, is that me?"
00:19:50.02\00:19:53.46
Hmmm... I'm like,
"That couldn't be me
00:19:53.49\00:19:55.92
how could that be me?"
It was me... and I'm sitting
00:19:55.96\00:19:58.99
talking to patients...
like I'm talking to you
00:19:59.03\00:20:00.66
saying, "Oh, you got
metabolic syndrome...
00:20:00.70\00:20:02.70
you got to lose
weight you got to move...
00:20:02.73\00:20:04.70
you got to do this... "
and as I'm talking to them,
00:20:04.73\00:20:07.54
I'm listening... I'm
thinking "Uh... you are talking
00:20:07.57\00:20:09.87
to yourself...
right?" Hmmm... hmmm...
00:20:09.90\00:20:11.61
"this is you... that
you've got to change" you see...
00:20:11.64\00:20:14.58
and so then... that's
when I started my journey
00:20:14.61\00:20:17.45
I was racing home so that
I could get to bed on time...
00:20:17.48\00:20:20.75
right... so all my cortisol...
got to get the cortisol down...
00:20:20.78\00:20:24.02
get the melatonin to
come up, get to sleep...
00:20:24.05\00:20:27.09
being physically
active, not eating late
00:20:27.12\00:20:29.86
and getting rid of
the empty calories...
00:20:29.89\00:20:32.56
now that's really important...
00:20:32.63\00:20:34.23
Let's talk about that...
You know, empty calories...
00:20:34.30\00:20:36.63
Such as...? a glass of juice...
00:20:36.67\00:20:39.40
Hmmm... like people say,
00:20:39.47\00:20:40.80
"but it's orange juice... "
00:20:40.84\00:20:42.17
Hmmm... or "it's
cranberry juice... "
00:20:42.20\00:20:44.31
and orange juice...
what is the orange juice
00:20:44.34\00:20:46.21
used for? to raise blood sugar
00:20:46.24\00:20:48.24
in hypoglycemics...
Thank you... so why would you
00:20:48.28\00:20:51.05
drink an 8-ounce
glass of orange juice?
00:20:51.08\00:20:52.95
there's no fiber in it...
so, if you want the orange...
00:20:52.98\00:20:57.75
eat the orange... Right...
00:20:57.79\00:20:59.19
if you want the
apple... eat the apple...
00:20:59.22\00:21:00.62
don't do the apple juice...
don't do the orange juice
00:21:00.66\00:21:03.39
even in pediatrics...
even in children...
00:21:03.43\00:21:05.09
we say, "Don't... give
them straight juice... "
00:21:05.13\00:21:07.03
we say, "dilute it...
dilute it... dilute it"
00:21:07.10\00:21:08.96
you see, so, why would
we think that we can do that
00:21:09.00\00:21:12.60
and we're going to
get away with it...
00:21:12.67\00:21:14.37
it's just empty calories...
calories we don't need...
00:21:14.40\00:21:17.54
it's easy... a swallow...
you got easily 500 calories
00:21:17.57\00:21:20.68
right there... right...
and then you add to that
00:21:20.71\00:21:23.68
then people drinking
sodas and then they say,
00:21:23.71\00:21:26.65
"But you know, I
don't do the dark sodas...
00:21:26.68\00:21:29.55
I do the white
sodas... " it doesn't matter
00:21:29.62\00:21:31.52
if it's dark or white... right
they've all got 12 teaspoons
00:21:31.55\00:21:34.39
of sugar... that's
going to give you a bunch of
00:21:34.42\00:21:37.06
empty calories that
you don't need... right?
00:21:37.09\00:21:38.76
That's right... that's right...
00:21:38.79\00:21:40.63
and even the
artificial sweeteners
00:21:40.66\00:21:42.00
Yes... they
actually cause weight gain.
00:21:42.03\00:21:44.57
Yes... they have studies that
show that... it actually causes
00:21:44.60\00:21:49.20
so if you think
that you're getting away
00:21:49.24\00:21:51.01
with not using sugar
00:21:51.04\00:21:52.67
even if you're not...
00:21:52.71\00:21:54.31
it's the chemicals...
Yes... the chemicals...
00:21:54.34\00:21:56.71
and it changes the... it's
a path in the brain... okay
00:21:56.75\00:21:59.95
it's a path in the
brain... also in the metabolism
00:22:00.05\00:22:03.22
and it's just not
healthy for you...
00:22:03.25\00:22:05.49
Right... Again
about weight gain,
00:22:05.52\00:22:08.29
there's also about toxicity...
if the body is toxic,
00:22:08.32\00:22:11.76
guess where it stores toxins?
00:22:11.79\00:22:14.30
In the fat...
00:22:14.30\00:22:16.23
In the fat... so the
toxins are in the fat...
00:22:16.26\00:22:18.73
Right... so the body says,
00:22:18.77\00:22:20.34
"Okay, you're all toxic...
you're eating all this...
00:22:20.37\00:22:22.27
not even real stuff,
not even real food... "
00:22:22.30\00:22:24.27
Right... Exactly...
00:22:24.51\00:22:25.84
so the body says, "Let
me just deal with this,
00:22:25.87\00:22:28.11
let me protect this person,
okay, let's just layer that on
00:22:28.14\00:22:31.75
okay, let's layer it on
00:22:31.78\00:22:34.15
because that's
where the toxins are... "
00:22:34.18\00:22:35.52
that's why, if
you're going to lose weight,
00:22:35.55\00:22:37.82
you got to do it
in a healthy way...
00:22:37.85\00:22:39.89
Hmmm... hmmm...
00:22:39.92\00:22:41.26
so your body is
detoxing at the same time...
00:22:41.29\00:22:43.12
you've got to have those
green leafy vegetables...
00:22:43.16\00:22:45.53
you've got to have the
fiber, your beans, your legumes,
00:22:45.56\00:22:48.33
all of those... so that
it can take out those toxins
00:22:48.40\00:22:51.53
as you are shrinking
down, or else you're going to be
00:22:51.57\00:22:54.70
skinny and sick... And
sick... because the body
00:22:54.74\00:22:57.27
will re-absorb the
toxins... Thank you...
00:22:57.31\00:22:59.57
the toxins have to come
out... They've got to come out.
00:22:59.61\00:23:02.54
You know, Dr. Christine, I
know some physicians that say,
00:23:02.58\00:23:05.41
"Oh you don't need
to detox the body...
00:23:05.45\00:23:07.22
it naturally detoxes"
no, you do need to detox
00:23:07.25\00:23:10.35
We do need to detox...
We're taking in toxic air,
00:23:10.39\00:23:13.46
toxic water, toxic
food, Toxic everything...
00:23:13.49\00:23:16.89
Everything... Right... right...
00:23:16.93\00:23:18.53
you know the body... it is
fearfully and wonderfully made
00:23:18.56\00:23:20.86
and we've got
organs of elimination
00:23:20.90\00:23:22.60
we've got the skin,
we've got the lungs,
00:23:22.63\00:23:24.20
we have the
kidneys, we've got to drink
00:23:24.23\00:23:25.90
and flush the kidneys...
00:23:25.93\00:23:27.27
we've got the
gastrointestinal tract
00:23:27.30\00:23:29.07
we've got the liver
which is fabulous...
00:23:29.10\00:23:30.84
Hmmm... hmmm...
okay... but... when you have
00:23:30.87\00:23:33.91
all these toxins coming
in... you have to support
00:23:33.94\00:23:37.61
that process... Hmmm...
00:23:37.65\00:23:39.35
and not keep adding to
it... you know, if you're eating
00:23:39.38\00:23:41.88
chicken that's got a
lot of hormones in it,
00:23:41.92\00:23:43.85
do you know what they do
00:23:43.89\00:23:45.22
to make those
chickens grow so fast...
00:23:45.25\00:23:47.12
and if you're
eating those chickens
00:23:47.16\00:23:49.19
You're going to grow
fast... Exactly... right...
00:23:49.22\00:23:51.83
and your body has to detoxify...
00:23:51.86\00:23:54.86
I've had to take
little girls off chicken...
00:23:54.93\00:23:57.80
because their menstrual
cycles are being messed up...
00:23:57.83\00:24:00.44
right? Yes... yes...
00:24:00.47\00:24:02.24
and the hormone processing
00:24:02.27\00:24:04.37
happens in the
level of the liver...
00:24:04.41\00:24:05.74
so we have to
support the organs...
00:24:05.77\00:24:07.88
of detoxification... as
we are losing the weight,
00:24:07.91\00:24:11.31
so it's a
comprehensive program...
00:24:11.35\00:24:13.11
Yes... it's a
comprehensive approach
00:24:13.15\00:24:14.85
you have to look at everything,
and not just one thing...
00:24:14.88\00:24:18.95
And see... that
is key too... because
00:24:18.99\00:24:21.52
so often we'll say,
"Okay, I got to reduce calories"
00:24:21.56\00:24:24.73
"Okay, well I can't do carbs"
"Okay, well I can't do gluten"
00:24:24.76\00:24:28.43
"Okay... " and so
you take one thing
00:24:28.46\00:24:30.93
instead of looking
at the whole picture...
00:24:30.97\00:24:34.00
and it's the whole picture...
00:24:34.04\00:24:36.47
that says, "Okay, this
is your unique profile,
00:24:36.50\00:24:40.41
this is what we need to do... "
and that's the kind of physician
00:24:40.44\00:24:44.68
you are... I know you are,
and I think that's so incredible
00:24:44.71\00:24:48.65
because, it's unusual to
see allopathic physicians
00:24:48.68\00:24:53.82
who do integrative medicine...
00:24:53.86\00:24:56.96
Well, that's what I'm about...
00:24:56.99\00:24:59.46
and I know that some
people may be feeling...
00:24:59.49\00:25:01.73
"Oh, my goodness, that
just seems such a lot... "
00:25:01.76\00:25:03.83
well do the best
with what you've got...
00:25:03.87\00:25:06.90
Hmmm... hmmm... okay,
and you start somewhere...
00:25:06.94\00:25:09.14
but you do
something... okay... you say,
00:25:09.17\00:25:12.21
"Well, I can't walk 30 minutes
a day... I'd be so tired... "
00:25:12.24\00:25:16.64
then you walk 5 minutes a
day... but do it everyday...
00:25:16.68\00:25:19.51
Right... okay...
00:25:19.55\00:25:20.98
and if you've been
going to bed at midnight...
00:25:21.02\00:25:23.18
okay, say, "Okay, well, I going
to try to go to bed at 11:30"
00:25:23.22\00:25:26.39
just do
something and make a change
00:25:26.42\00:25:29.49
in the right direction...
if you have something
00:25:29.52\00:25:31.46
that's horizontal like
this, even a little change...
00:25:31.49\00:25:33.50
like that... now
you're going completely
00:25:33.53\00:25:35.80
in a different direction
than if you're like this
00:25:35.83\00:25:37.63
or you're like
that... so even little change
00:25:37.67\00:25:39.73
the trajectory will end up
being a huge change over time...
00:25:39.80\00:25:43.81
And see that's such a
good point because, I think,
00:25:43.84\00:25:46.31
people need to know
that you're not expected
00:25:46.34\00:25:49.48
to do everything...
cold turkey... and just...
00:25:49.51\00:25:52.58
everything perfectly right
away, make some little changes
00:25:52.61\00:25:56.15
Little steps...
Increase your water everyday...
00:25:56.22\00:25:58.95
right... drink a
little bit more water...
00:25:58.99\00:26:01.56
Drink a little bit more
water when you wake up...
00:26:01.59\00:26:03.12
so, I have bought
myself a Brita Filter,
00:26:03.16\00:26:06.39
Hmmm... hmmm... you
know, the one where you can
00:26:06.43\00:26:08.76
put the single bottle
one, right at your bedside,
00:26:08.83\00:26:10.90
because if you
know that you'll get up
00:26:10.93\00:26:12.27
and then forget about that...
so, then, it's right there,
00:26:12.30\00:26:14.80
it's my reminder...
"Okay, I need to have
00:26:14.84\00:26:17.71
all 22 ounces gone... by the
time I move out of the bedroom
00:26:17.77\00:26:22.04
Hmmm... Right... so, I've got it
00:26:22.08\00:26:23.61
right there and I can
drink that water right away...
00:26:23.65\00:26:25.78
so you got to
write down your goals
00:26:25.81\00:26:29.02
and then implement it...
if you just think about it,
00:26:29.05\00:26:32.12
it's hard just to
think about something
00:26:32.15\00:26:34.36
Right... and implement...
00:26:34.42\00:26:35.76
you got to say, "Okay, I'm going
to go to bed at this time... "
00:26:35.79\00:26:38.96
I'm going to walk
for 5 minutes, okay...
00:26:38.99\00:26:41.56
okay, if you've been
eating a lot of meat... you say,
00:26:41.60\00:26:43.73
"Well, maybe
I'll change to fish"
00:26:43.77\00:26:45.50
you see... if you've
been eating a lot of chips...
00:26:45.53\00:26:47.67
okay, you say, "Well,
maybe instead of getting
00:26:47.70\00:26:50.47
a bag of chips... I
might get a bag of carrots,
00:26:50.51\00:26:53.31
you see, so you make
these little changes...
00:26:53.34\00:26:56.11
Yes... in that direction...
00:26:56.18\00:26:57.91
and over time... it
becomes part of your habit,
00:26:57.95\00:27:00.55
we don't need to
make quick weight loss,
00:27:00.62\00:27:02.22
and then bounce right back...
we want it to be a lifestyle,
00:27:02.25\00:27:05.55
Exactly...
00:27:05.59\00:27:06.92
you see that's what
we're looking for...
00:27:06.96\00:27:08.29
We are looking for
change that's sustainable...
00:27:08.32\00:27:11.49
That's it...
00:27:11.53\00:27:12.86
Not the "flash
in the pan change"
00:27:12.89\00:27:14.63
but change that's sustainable...
you have been so insightful
00:27:14.66\00:27:19.03

Well, that's the end
of our Program for today,
00:27:29.98\00:27:32.45
you know, Dr. Salter
gave us some great tips
00:27:32.48\00:27:34.88
some great points
and we can use them
00:27:34.92\00:27:37.35
and implement
them, the Bible says that
00:27:37.39\00:27:39.55
we are fearfully
and wonderfully made...
00:27:39.59\00:27:41.69
and that is truly, truly,
so... so, make sure that you
00:27:41.72\00:27:46.29
appreciate this body
that God has given you...
00:27:46.33\00:27:49.40
by taking care of it
and taking these steps...
00:27:49.43\00:27:52.10
that's the end of
our Program for today...
00:27:52.13\00:27:54.74
thanks so much for tuning in...
00:27:54.77\00:27:56.24

because you know what...
00:27:56.27\00:27:58.91
it just wouldn't be
the same without you...
