Welcome back to the program,
00:00:01.06\00:00:02.09
I'm Charles Mills
here with Dr. James Marcum,
00:00:02.12\00:00:03.74
he is a cardiologist
and we're talking about
00:00:03.77\00:00:06.96
weighty matters today.
00:00:06.99\00:00:08.84
We've decided not
to talk about weight;
00:00:08.87\00:00:11.29
we talk about risk and dangers.
00:00:11.32\00:00:13.28
So we're into
risk management today,
00:00:13.31\00:00:15.56
danger management
when it comes to how much
00:00:15.59\00:00:18.38
we weigh and what our
bathroom scales are telling us.
00:00:18.41\00:00:20.46
And Dr. Marcum, one of
the questions that came into
00:00:20.49\00:00:22.93
heartwiseministries. org
00:00:22.96\00:00:24.62
is important - this
is what this person says,
00:00:24.65\00:00:27.12
"I take weight loss supplements
and have lost 30 pounds.
00:00:27.15\00:00:30.94
I feel better, is there any
long-term risk of weight loss
00:00:30.97\00:00:35.89
medications?"
00:00:35.92\00:00:37.55
Now even before you answer this,
00:00:37.58\00:00:39.39
I'm thinking about what
you just wrote recently,
00:00:39.42\00:00:42.10
and that is a pretty
amazing book here that the title
00:00:42.13\00:00:45.19
kind of says it all.
00:00:45.22\00:00:46.52
If you look at the
title of this book,
00:00:46.55\00:00:48.95
you're going to
discover what Dr. Marcum feels
00:00:48.98\00:00:52.94
is a real danger in this world
that we need to be aware of.
00:00:52.97\00:00:56.82
Tell us about
"Medicines That kill"
00:00:56.85\00:00:58.98
"Medicines That
Kill" is a book I wrote
00:00:59.01\00:01:00.99
to increase awareness.
00:01:01.02\00:01:03.08
And we go through the
book and in the first part,
00:01:03.11\00:01:05.41
we show all the ways that
medicines can hurt people,
00:01:05.44\00:01:08.33
and actually kill people and
actually, it's the #1 cause of
00:01:08.36\00:01:11.17
death in America.
00:01:11.20\00:01:12.89
Cardiovascular
disease, cancer, they're there,
00:01:12.92\00:01:15.75
but medicines are
killing more people.
00:01:15.78\00:01:17.30
Say that again - medicines
is the #1 cause of death
00:01:17.33\00:01:21.22
in America right
now. Medicines? Yes
00:01:21.25\00:01:23.41
And you think of
all the overdoses,
00:01:23.44\00:01:25.64
the Heath Ledgers,
the Whitney Houstons,
00:01:25.67\00:01:27.96
the Michael
Jacksons... so medicines kill.
00:01:27.99\00:01:30.79
In the first part of the book,
00:01:30.82\00:01:31.85
I go all the ways
medicines can kill.
00:01:31.88\00:01:34.97
The second part of the
book, I gave some practical ways
00:01:35.00\00:01:37.72
that people can be
off the medications,
00:01:37.75\00:01:39.40
and the third part,
we introduce them to
00:01:39.43\00:01:41.76
God's plan in their lives.
00:01:41.79\00:01:44.28
And what's so
important about this question is
00:01:44.31\00:01:47.20
Are weight loss medications,
that help you lose weight,
00:01:47.23\00:01:51.23
are they dangerous? ABSOLUTELY!
00:01:51.26\00:01:53.32
In fact, some have
caused heart valve problems,
00:01:53.35\00:01:55.39
some cause
dangerous arrhythmias,
00:01:55.42\00:01:57.05
and they're not a long-term fix.
00:01:57.08\00:01:59.12
And one of the things
we wanted to highlight
00:01:59.15\00:02:00.93
on this program today is
not only do we have a problem
00:02:00.96\00:02:03.82
that can lead to other diseases,
00:02:03.85\00:02:05.33
but when you get these
other medical conditions
00:02:05.36\00:02:07.35
caused by extra
weight, guess what happens?
00:02:07.38\00:02:10.08
You're on more medications.
00:02:10.11\00:02:11.54
More medications
can cause side effects.
00:02:11.57\00:02:13.61
For instance, diabetic medicines
that lower blood sugar,
00:02:13.64\00:02:16.88
that can increase risk.
00:02:16.91\00:02:18.33
Pain medicines - if you
have extra weight cause pain.
00:02:18.36\00:02:20.88
Narcotics - that can cause risk,
00:02:20.91\00:02:22.89
and sooner or later you've
introduced a lot more risk
00:02:22.92\00:02:25.58
in your life - so
rather than take medications,
00:02:25.61\00:02:29.00
if you carry extra
weight, the real solution is to
00:02:29.03\00:02:32.02
find ways to get the weight off.
00:02:32.05\00:02:34.01
Now let me ask you a
question because you have
00:02:34.04\00:02:35.82
said in the past that there
is a place for modern medicines,
00:02:35.85\00:02:39.75
and there may be a situation,
when it comes to your heart,
00:02:39.78\00:02:43.47
that you need to have
that medicine to lower your
00:02:43.50\00:02:47.40
blood pressure or to...
00:02:47.43\00:02:48.56
Is there ever a time
when someone is overweight
00:02:48.59\00:02:52.46
or obese when - you
BETTER take some medicine NOW
00:02:52.49\00:02:55.43
or you're not going
to live to see tomorrow?
00:02:55.46\00:02:57.17
Absolutely, there are
situations where we give them
00:02:57.20\00:02:59.94
medicines to help
a crisis situation,
00:02:59.97\00:03:03.23
but we weren't made to take
medicines day in and day out.
00:03:03.26\00:03:06.02
They were for a
short period of time,
00:03:06.05\00:03:07.77
then they were
supposed to be stopped.
00:03:07.80\00:03:09.21
For instance, you know
we talked previously about
00:03:09.24\00:03:11.89
blood pressure medicines.
00:03:11.92\00:03:12.95
Well, those
medicines that you're talking
00:03:12.98\00:03:14.54
are the results
of being overweight.
00:03:14.57\00:03:17.53
I'm talking about the
FACT that you're overweight...
00:03:17.56\00:03:19.89
You give a blood
pressure medicine to someone
00:03:19.92\00:03:22.42
who is overweight because
they have high blood pressure,
00:03:22.45\00:03:24.32
but do you give a medicine
in an emergency situation
00:03:24.35\00:03:26.85
simply because
someone is feeling fine,
00:03:26.88\00:03:28.28
but they happen
to be overweight?
00:03:28.31\00:03:29.44
If they have no other problems,
00:03:29.47\00:03:31.24
you mean, do I
give them a medicine
00:03:31.27\00:03:32.62
to get the weight off of them?
00:03:32.65\00:03:34.27
No, because the
risk of the medicines
00:03:34.30\00:03:37.09
are greater than
the benefits. Yes
00:03:37.12\00:03:39.04
You have a risk of
dying from the medications.
00:03:39.07\00:03:41.56
It can cause dangerous
heart rhythms in some of them.
00:03:41.59\00:03:43.49
Now they're going to come
up with new ones that maybe
00:03:43.52\00:03:45.83
are at less risk,
but so far the ones that
00:03:45.86\00:03:47.81
have been in the
past, increase your risk.
00:03:47.84\00:03:49.59
Most of these medications
and dietary supplements
00:03:49.62\00:03:53.51
to lose weight, have things
that increase your metabolism.
00:03:53.54\00:03:56.05
That's why you lose weight.
00:03:56.08\00:03:57.56
Well, and it also
increases other problems like
00:03:57.59\00:03:59.90
dangerous heart rhythms.
00:03:59.93\00:04:01.09
We watch these energy
pills that are loaded with
00:04:01.12\00:04:03.43
caffeine and
ephedrine that get you revved up
00:04:03.46\00:04:05.72
and doing
something all the time.
00:04:05.75\00:04:07.13
Well wouldn't it be
safer for a person to speed up
00:04:07.16\00:04:09.65
their metabolism with
water and do exercise,
00:04:09.68\00:04:12.49
and do these type of
things rather than take the risk
00:04:12.52\00:04:14.82
of a medication
that could potentially
00:04:14.85\00:04:16.93
cause lots of problems.
00:04:16.96\00:04:18.52
So the weight loss
medications, I don't recommend.
00:04:18.55\00:04:21.08
The weight loss
supplements, I don't recommend.
00:04:21.11\00:04:23.65
But there is a way to lose
weight that's better than that,
00:04:23.68\00:04:27.02
and we want to
sort of talk about that,
00:04:27.05\00:04:29.12
and that's getting back to some
simple things that we can do.
00:04:29.15\00:04:32.12
So let's get back
to the question...
00:04:32.15\00:04:34.69
Do I recommend supplements?
00:04:34.72\00:04:35.75
No... because - extra
weight can lead to medications
00:04:35.78\00:04:39.29
to treat the
symptoms of extra weight -
00:04:39.32\00:04:41.04
THAT can be
potentially dangerous.
00:04:41.07\00:04:42.56
That's what I wanted to
hear... okay, again the book,
00:04:42.60\00:04:44.57
"Medicines That
Kill" James Marcum
00:04:44.61\00:04:46.90
You can find these
things at Amazon. com
00:04:46.94\00:04:49.31
and other places that
will be made available.
00:04:49.34\00:04:52.22
This is an important book
for you to have in your library.
00:04:52.25\00:04:54.91
Before you start any
kind of treatment plan,
00:04:54.94\00:04:58.66
I would love for you
to read this book and know
00:04:58.69\00:05:01.59
what you are up against;
what's going to happen here;
00:05:01.62\00:05:04.25
what may happen to you.
00:05:04.28\00:05:05.59
We're talking about
risk management today,
00:05:05.62\00:05:07.86
danger management and
this is an important resource
00:05:07.89\00:05:12.25
for that process.
00:05:12.28\00:05:13.55
You know, there's not a book
like that that has been written
00:05:13.58\00:05:16.16
by a medical doctor
that explains the risk,
00:05:16.19\00:05:19.47
and also gives the
solutions to the problems.
00:05:19.50\00:05:21.84
You know, everyone knows
that medicines are dangerous,
00:05:21.87\00:05:23.69
but a lot of people don't
feel all the different ways that
00:05:23.72\00:05:26.15
medicines are in - you
know even in an over-the-counter
00:05:26.18\00:05:28.24
medication like aspirin.
00:05:28.27\00:05:29.70
The #1 cause of fatal GI
bleeding last year was aspirin.
00:05:29.73\00:05:34.17
Over-the-counter drugs... Yes!
00:05:34.20\00:05:35.26
The #1 cause, the most
liver failure acutely was
00:05:35.29\00:05:38.07
acetaminophen
which is in Tylenol.
00:05:38.10\00:05:40.68
So medications all have
risk as we've talked about.
00:05:40.71\00:05:43.68
Weight has risk. Yes
00:05:43.71\00:05:45.37
The medicines that come
to treat the complications
00:05:45.40\00:05:47.53
of weight
management have risk...
00:05:47.56\00:05:48.90
that's why we're
encouraging people to understand
00:05:48.93\00:05:51.55
that this weight
issue is very important,
00:05:51.58\00:05:54.55
and if you're
not on a plan today,
00:05:54.58\00:05:56.22
we want to come up with
a plan today to help you
00:05:56.25\00:05:58.86
get motivated to start
moving in the right direction.
00:05:58.89\00:06:01.68
All right - here's
the next question from
00:06:01.71\00:06:03.48
heartwiseministries.
org on this subject.
00:06:03.51\00:06:05.26
"There are so many
diets and programs out there,
00:06:06.04\00:06:08.79
you mentioned that, I
do not know where to start"
00:06:08.82\00:06:11.67
Now this is an
important question because
00:06:11.70\00:06:13.57
we are inundated
with this information.
00:06:13.60\00:06:17.59
We know what we want to do.
00:06:17.62\00:06:18.70
We know what we should do.
00:06:18.73\00:06:19.76
We know what we need to do.
00:06:19.79\00:06:21.58
What is the first
STEP that we need to take
00:06:21.61\00:06:26.32
to try to mitigate
the problem of overweight?
00:06:26.35\00:06:29.52
And to understand
how to answer that,
00:06:29.55\00:06:32.18
you know, where to start, you
have to understand the problem.
00:06:32.21\00:06:34.82
You know and that's
sometimes individual.
00:06:35.82\00:06:37.89
Why does a person
carry extra weight...
00:06:37.92\00:06:40.14
And you have to go
through all the reasons,
00:06:40.17\00:06:41.80
you know, make sure it's not
a thyroid or adrenal disorder.
00:06:41.83\00:06:44.64
Make sure there's no
medical problem that's doing it.
00:06:44.67\00:06:47.16
So the first step then
is check with your doctor
00:06:47.19\00:06:49.14
to say - "Is there
something wrong with me that is
00:06:49.17\00:06:51.15
causing this to happen?" Yes
00:06:51.18\00:06:52.27
You know there are
syndromes like Cushing syndrome,
00:06:52.30\00:06:54.57
low thyroid that can
cause extra weight... First step
00:06:54.60\00:06:57.34
But most of the
people, as you pointed out,
00:06:57.37\00:06:59.90
have it because of
too many calories...
00:06:59.93\00:07:01.78
And then, why do
people take too many calories?
00:07:01.81\00:07:04.51
Well, is it because they're
being misinformed by the media?
00:07:04.54\00:07:08.08
Because it
TASTES GOOD, Dr. Marcum!
00:07:08.11\00:07:10.31
And all these
dopamine receptors.
00:07:10.34\00:07:12.68
Is it stress in their life that
is coming from too much stress,
00:07:12.71\00:07:15.89
and they're trying to cope with
that and they're eating more?
00:07:15.92\00:07:18.72
So it really starts, I
think in weight management,
00:07:18.75\00:07:21.62
it starts in the brain.
00:07:21.65\00:07:22.90
Yes... It starts in the brain.
00:07:22.93\00:07:24.29
A person has to
have the education,
00:07:24.32\00:07:26.02
understand that it's
dangerous it could hurt them,
00:07:26.05\00:07:28.08
and then the first
place I like to start people
00:07:28.11\00:07:30.89
in answering these
questions is turning to God.
00:07:30.92\00:07:33.64
"God, I don't have the answers
00:07:33.67\00:07:35.18
I think the weight management
programs don't have the answer,"
00:07:35.21\00:07:37.64
but God has the answers for YOU.
00:07:37.67\00:07:39.76
The answer to WHY.
00:07:39.79\00:07:40.82
Why and how, also, how He wants
00:07:40.85\00:07:42.94
you to move
through this problem...
00:07:42.97\00:07:44.48
And also He can
give you the strength,
00:07:44.51\00:07:46.55
so I like to start people
in the relationship with God.
00:07:46.58\00:07:49.21
I ask them to pray, get back
into a relationship with God.
00:07:49.24\00:07:52.54
Study the Scriptures.
00:07:52.57\00:07:53.87
If you're not going
to a worship situation,
00:07:53.90\00:07:56.66
whether that be
church, find a place where you
00:07:56.69\00:07:58.98
can worship and God can
grow that relationship...
00:07:59.01\00:08:01.50
And as you grow that
relationship and diligently
00:08:01.53\00:08:04.25
search for truth, He's
going to lead you to truth,
00:08:04.28\00:08:07.21
so that's where I start people.
00:08:07.24\00:08:08.78
I say, "Start in
that relationship. "
00:08:08.81\00:08:10.38
The next thing I say, "Well, we
need to increase the metabolism"
00:08:10.41\00:08:13.40
That's assuming
everything else is normal.
00:08:13.43\00:08:15.69
Well, 2 ways to simply
increase it is drink water.
00:08:15.72\00:08:19.55
Everyone can drink water, that
can speed up your metabolism.
00:08:19.58\00:08:22.39
Okay, coffee, tea, soda...
00:08:22.42\00:08:24.57
Won't do it, that is not
water. That's not water - okay
00:08:24.60\00:08:26.77
We weren't made 70% ice tea...
00:08:26.80\00:08:28.93
Just because it's
liquid, doesn't mean it's water.
00:08:28.96\00:08:30.61
We were made 70% water.
00:08:30.64\00:08:32.12
Not only does it
increase our metabolism,
00:08:32.15\00:08:34.50
bit it stretches out
our stomach so we FEEL full.
00:08:34.53\00:08:37.85
...70% of our
body is made of water;
00:08:37.88\00:08:40.36
our brain has
water to think well.
00:08:40.39\00:08:42.67
When we're dehydrated,
we don't work as well,
00:08:42.70\00:08:46.08
so, I start people on water.
00:08:46.11\00:08:47.24
Most people can
do that, Charles.
00:08:47.27\00:08:48.71
They drink water for a while.
00:08:48.74\00:08:50.33
They're in this
relationship for a while,
00:08:50.37\00:08:52.49
and then all of a
sudden you notice...
00:08:52.53\00:08:53.62
You know, I had a guy
who lost 20 pounds last year
00:08:53.65\00:08:55.95
just by drinking water. Wow
00:08:55.98\00:08:57.43
They notice that God does
change and His laws are true -
00:08:57.46\00:09:00.82
there's something about this!
00:09:00.85\00:09:01.88
There's another reason because
when he was drinking water,
00:09:01.91\00:09:03.89
he was probably not drinking
what he usually drinks. Exactly!
00:09:04.57\00:09:07.75
Drinks the soda
pop and whatever...
00:09:07.78\00:09:09.02
So he lost 20 pounds
and the next thing, I say -
00:09:09.05\00:09:11.76
"You know, God
did work with you,
00:09:11.79\00:09:13.76
He gave you the
power to understand water,
00:09:13.79\00:09:15.44
and you do feel better
and you've lost weight. "
00:09:15.47\00:09:17.50
The NEXT thing I say -
"Well, let's start a movement
00:09:17.53\00:09:19.99
program - we've got to
speed up your metabolism!"
00:09:20.99\00:09:22.72
So they start some
type of regular exercise,
00:09:22.75\00:09:24.45
and it might be just 1
minute a day, 2 minutes a day,
00:09:24.48\00:09:27.70
5 minutes a day, but
they ask God to help them.
00:09:27.73\00:09:30.18
They drink the water and say,
"God help me to exercise more"
00:09:30.21\00:09:33.20
and guess what?
00:09:33.23\00:09:34.36
As they drink more
water and as they worship,
00:09:34.39\00:09:37.46
and as they exercise,
their mind starts to change.
00:09:37.49\00:09:41.73
They grow these new neurons.
00:09:41.76\00:09:43.53
Their exercise
program helps them out;
00:09:43.56\00:09:45.55
they get better
blood flow to the brain;
00:09:45.58\00:09:47.46
they're getting
better water to the brain;
00:09:47.49\00:09:49.56
they're getting
worship to the brain.
00:09:49.59\00:09:51.39
Some of that stress chemistry
from exercise and worship
00:09:51.42\00:09:54.04
starts turning you
down a little bit -
00:09:54.07\00:09:55.52
so they are maybe
not quite a dependent
00:09:55.55\00:09:57.51
on pleasing these
dopamine receptors. Yes
00:09:57.54\00:10:00.00
You follow me here? I do
00:10:00.03\00:10:01.64
So they might do
that for a while.
00:10:01.67\00:10:03.36
Okay, then the next
thing I ask him to do,
00:10:03.39\00:10:05.26
moving along this line and some
00:10:05.29\00:10:06.87
people can move
very fast on this line,
00:10:06.90\00:10:08.69
some people move slow...
00:10:08.73\00:10:09.83
I say - "Don't eat big at night"
00:10:09.86\00:10:12.19
Okay - don't eat big at night.
00:10:12.22\00:10:13.47
When you think about it,
the big meal at night, Charles,
00:10:13.50\00:10:16.42
your metabolism slows at night.
00:10:16.45\00:10:19.21
You eat that big meal at night,
00:10:19.24\00:10:21.17
and it doesn't move through
you - it just sits there!
00:10:21.20\00:10:24.06
And if you eat
bad food at night,
00:10:24.09\00:10:26.45
it spoils in you and you
absorb all the bad stuff,
00:10:26.48\00:10:30.26
all the chemicals.
00:10:30.29\00:10:31.47
If you eat a lot
of meat products,
00:10:31.50\00:10:33.08
you absorb the
steroids that that animal
00:10:33.11\00:10:35.74
is brought to market with.
00:10:35.77\00:10:37.41
The antibiotics, you know
chickens live by each other
00:10:37.44\00:10:39.82
you know, so they don't all
get sick, they give antibiotics.
00:10:39.85\00:10:42.65
...80% of the
antibiotics in America
00:10:42.68\00:10:44.87
are now used on our livestock...
00:10:44.90\00:10:46.76
And the feed - they feed
these animals high protein food
00:10:46.79\00:10:49.80
because they want
them to grow quick!
00:10:49.83\00:10:51.05
The quicker they grow, the
quicker they come to market.
00:10:51.08\00:10:53.36
Well when you eat
that stuff, not only do you
00:10:53.39\00:10:55.37
absorb all the calories,
all the protein, all the fat,
00:10:55.40\00:10:58.55
you get the antibiotics,
you get all the diseases...
00:10:58.58\00:11:00.99
All this gets
absorbed in you... NOT GOOD!
00:11:01.02\00:11:03.59
So I ask people -
don't eat so BIG at night.
00:11:03.62\00:11:06.81
I say just eat a
little bit of fiber at night,
00:11:06.84\00:11:09.09
maybe have some
celery, some apples...
00:11:09.12\00:11:10.95
And as they start doing
that, guess what happens?
00:11:10.98\00:11:12.96
They rest better!
00:11:12.99\00:11:14.54
And when they
start to rest better,
00:11:14.57\00:11:16.08
and they don't have all this
food digesting in them overnight
00:11:16.11\00:11:18.86
...guess what
happens to the brain?
00:11:18.89\00:11:20.76
It thinks better,
they can exercise better,
00:11:20.79\00:11:23.42
they can drink more
water and guess what?
00:11:23.45\00:11:25.31
They worship better.
00:11:25.34\00:11:26.78
So all of a sudden,
the brain becomes getting
00:11:26.81\00:11:29.04
more clear, the
stress chemistry goes down,
00:11:29.07\00:11:31.34
and they see God
working in their lives...
00:11:31.37\00:11:33.03
They say - "Yes,
God's plan, this natural way
00:11:33.06\00:11:35.77
of losing weight -
God's way, is WORKING!"
00:11:35.80\00:11:38.50
And the next thing you realize,
Charles, is that the brain
00:11:38.53\00:11:42.08
begins to realize that this is
working out for me in my life.
00:11:42.11\00:11:46.25
All these changes,
and then people start
00:11:46.28\00:11:48.40
doing things like eating
more fruits and vegetables,
00:11:48.43\00:11:50.50
and just eating enough
bad stuff to be happy...
00:11:50.53\00:11:52.77
And what they soon
discover is the bad stuff
00:11:52.80\00:11:55.28
makes them feel bad.
00:11:55.31\00:11:56.50
So guess what?
00:11:56.53\00:11:57.56
The brain has
changed, the body has changed,
00:11:57.59\00:12:00.12
you're not as dependent
on these dopamine receptors
00:12:00.15\00:12:02.63
we talked about
and all of a sudden -
00:12:02.66\00:12:04.19
the weight starts coming off,
00:12:04.22\00:12:05.92
you have some good habits and
it's just one step at a time.
00:12:05.95\00:12:09.39
There is a downside to this and
I need to warn you about this.
00:12:09.42\00:12:12.33
There's a downside...
00:12:12.36\00:12:13.75
When you've gone
through all of this,
00:12:13.78\00:12:15.91
and you find the
weight coming off,
00:12:15.94\00:12:17.21
you're going to have
to buy new clothes...
00:12:17.24\00:12:19.06
You're going to have to change
everything in your closet...
00:12:19.09\00:12:21.31
That's a real bad
downside, isn't it?
00:12:21.34\00:12:24.42
And I hope that for everyone.
00:12:24.45\00:12:26.22
When we come back,
let's talk to the One that
00:12:26.25\00:12:28.26
can take you through this
program and bring you success,
00:12:28.29\00:12:31.08
so stay tuned!
00:12:31.11\00:12:32.90
We've been talking
today about weight management,
00:12:41.57\00:12:44.37
and how to lose weight.
00:12:44.40\00:12:45.85
This is not an easy topic
and there is no quick solution
00:12:45.88\00:12:49.51
in a short period of time -
I can't give you everything,
00:12:49.54\00:12:52.32
but a couple of things I
want to leave you with today
00:12:52.35\00:12:54.77
is one that extra
weight is a problem,
00:12:54.80\00:12:57.68
and unfortunately, it
can lead to more medications;
00:12:57.71\00:13:01.36
it can lead to a
lot of heartaches;
00:13:01.39\00:13:02.98
it can lead to a
lot of chronic disease.
00:13:03.01\00:13:05.45
The problem is growing,
so we know that the answers
00:13:05.48\00:13:08.40
aren't out there... we
have to look for something more.
00:13:08.43\00:13:11.22
In weight management it
takes, I think, a relationship
00:13:11.25\00:13:15.29
with the Heavenly
Father and start things
00:13:15.32\00:13:17.37
one-step-at-a-time
like we talked about...
00:13:17.40\00:13:19.50
getting the brain right;
00:13:19.53\00:13:20.67
getting the
chemistry right in the brain;
00:13:20.70\00:13:22.68
helping people
understand that their habits are
00:13:22.71\00:13:25.37
hard to break...
00:13:25.40\00:13:26.95
Things like water
and eating more plants,
00:13:26.98\00:13:29.58
and filling up your
stomach and exercising,
00:13:29.61\00:13:31.67
and drinking water
and eating just enough
00:13:31.70\00:13:33.65
bad food to be happy.
00:13:33.68\00:13:34.91
These are all important steps,
00:13:34.94\00:13:36.77
but it also
takes God to lead you.
00:13:36.80\00:13:38.84
Some people can do
everything at ONCE...
00:13:38.87\00:13:40.64
But then some people need this
relationship one-step-at-a-time
00:13:40.67\00:13:44.12
as long as we're moving forward.
00:13:44.15\00:13:45.77
I'm going to pray
for you right now -
00:13:45.80\00:13:47.45
those of you that need extra
help in taking the pounds off.
00:13:47.48\00:13:50.40
Father God, we all
need You for every aspect
00:13:50.43\00:13:53.98
of our health, Father,
and we want to help those
00:13:54.01\00:13:56.07
out there that
want to lose weight,
00:13:56.10\00:13:57.72
that want to be healthier.
00:13:57.75\00:13:58.90
To learn how to do that,
we want to include You in
00:13:58.93\00:14:01.75
this plan, Father.
00:14:01.78\00:14:02.90
Please lead us as we think
about this problem today...
00:14:02.93\00:14:05.84
is our prayer - Amen
00:14:05.87\00:14:07.59
I know that losing
weight is not easy.
00:14:07.62\00:14:11.47
It's something that's got
to be given to God every day,
00:14:11.50\00:14:14.35
but we can't
ignore this problem.
00:14:14.38\00:14:16.49
We have to talk
about the things that
00:14:16.52\00:14:18.36
people have problems with and
give them hope in the future.
00:14:18.39\00:14:20.97
And that real hope comes
in that relationship that
00:14:21.00\00:14:24.89
Ultimate Prescription
that we have with our
00:14:24.92\00:14:28.41
Heavenly Father
00:14:28.44\00:14:30.54
