Small Steps, Big Results Escaping the Lifestyle Disease Pandemic S3-EP6

Key Takeaways

  • Certified health and wellness coach Graham Hawley explains that the explosion of lifestyle diseases over the last 35 years is heavily driven by ultra-processed foods, added sugars, and deceptive food industry practices.
  • The modern medical system often functions as a 'sick care' operation focused on symptom management with pharmaceuticals rather than addressing the root causes of metabolic dysfunction.
  • Graham's five pillars of health—nutrition, movement, sleep quality, stress management, and mindful alcohol consumption—provide a practical framework for reclaiming wellness.
  • Making sustainable lifestyle changes does not require 365-day perfection; rather, focusing on whole foods, reducing processed snacks, and staying consistent yields massive long-term results.
  • Co-host LX shares his personal transformation of dropping significant weight and reversing severe type 2 diabetes by shifting to a whole-food diet, intermittent fasting, and eliminating sugary drinks.

Graham Hawley didn't set out to become a wellness coach. After watching his father and brother suffer devastating complications from type 2 diabetes, he went down the research rabbit hole and discovered the uncomfortable truth: much of what we call "food" is slowly poisoning us.

In this episode, Graham breaks down the five pillars of health nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, alcohol and explains why lifestyle diseases have exploded in the last 35 years. He shares why the medical system has become a "sick care" operation focused on symptom management, how Big Food engineered addictive products, and the simple (but not always easy) path back to real health through whole foods.

You'll hear powerful personal stories from both Graham and the hosts about reversing metabolic dysfunction, ditching processed garbage, fixing sleep routines, and why eating real food is the ultimate act of rebellion against a broken system.

If you've ever been told a chronic condition is "forever" or felt confused by the food on your plate, this conversation will give you both clarity and a practical roadmap.

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,040
I honestly can't even wrap my head around this, but it's a new drink.

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:11,500
It's marketing to children and it's got 189 grams of sugar in one drink.

3
00:00:11,980 --> 00:00:12,100
Wow.

4
00:00:12,220 --> 00:00:12,340
Yeah.

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,460
I mean, that, look, again, that's criminal.

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,640
That, that, that's just poisoning people.

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:40,020
All right, everybody.

8
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:43,480
Welcome back to another episode of the Space Tomatoes podcast.

9
00:00:43,900 --> 00:00:44,780
I'm one of your hosts, Havoc.

10
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,180
I'm the other guy, LX.

11
00:00:47,260 --> 00:00:47,480
Hello.

12
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:48,280
Welcome back.

13
00:00:48,660 --> 00:00:49,660
There's that other guy.

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:50,520
We love him.

15
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,340
Today we have with us a special guest, Graham Hawley, a wellness coach.

16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,440
And welcome to the show, Graham.

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,880
Well, thank you, gentlemen.

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,360
I appreciate the invite.

19
00:01:02,220 --> 00:01:05,220
So what is a wellness coach?

20
00:01:06,620 --> 00:01:12,280
Oh, well, that's a good question because I think it seems to be a relatively new profession out there.

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,380
A certified health and wellness coach.

22
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:23,640
And what I do is I help people identify their unhealthy habits around what I call the five pillars of health.

23
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:24,840
Nutrition

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,040
Exercise and movement

25
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,060
Sleep quality, stress management

26
00:01:29,060 --> 00:01:32,380
And being mindful of their alcohol consumption

27
00:01:32,380 --> 00:01:33,400
Because

28
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,900
You know

29
00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:37,480
We have a

30
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:38,800
I won't even call it an epidemic

31
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,600
We have a pandemic going on

32
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,720
Of lifestyle conditions

33
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,820
You want to call them

34
00:01:43,820 --> 00:01:46,880
Which is weight gain, type 2 diabetes

35
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,800
High blood pressure

36
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,000
Gut issues

37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,600
You throw dementia in the ADHD

38
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:59,520
autism we've got all these skin issues even cancer certain types of cancer are just going

39
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:07,000
through the roof and all this has changed all this has really accelerated should i say over the last

40
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:15,720
35 years or so because prior to that everything i just mentioned well they were rare they were

41
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:22,440
absolutely rare and now it's rare if you don't have one of those or many of those conditions

42
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:29,740
so let me just tell you how I got into this because I've only been a certified health and

43
00:02:29,740 --> 00:02:36,360
wellness coach for six years now after watching both my brother and my father become debilitated

44
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:43,000
through other conditions their type 2 diabetes had caused them I wondered if I was setting myself up

45
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:51,500
for well type 2 diabetes and as I delved into the research and studies well it took me down this

46
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:59,440
rabbit hole because I couldn't believe what I was finding out. And then what I was finding out is

47
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:06,420
that big food, basically are producing food that is damaging the human body.

48
00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:15,720
Now, that might sound controversial, but it's the truth. It's the truth. The human body is not

49
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:23,500
designed for all the unhealthy ingredients in fast food, processed food, and sugary drinks.

50
00:03:24,140 --> 00:03:24,540
Period.

51
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:25,600
Right?

52
00:03:25,660 --> 00:03:26,540
There's no argument.

53
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:28,940
No one can argue with that.

54
00:03:29,540 --> 00:03:37,280
Yet, we've slowly been indoctrinated over this last 35 years, or we've slid into instant

55
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,660
gratification, quick fixes.

56
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,840
Everybody, well, not everybody, but majority of people have moved away from eating.

57
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:46,900
Real food.

58
00:03:47,420 --> 00:03:49,080
It's not real food, right?

59
00:03:49,380 --> 00:03:58,460
Whatever way you want to look at it, it's manufactured, man-made, cleverly made by scientists to be addictive.

60
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:07,780
Well, we often, quite often, actually describe that as poison, not food.

61
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,780
Well, I mean, yeah, I do too.

62
00:04:09,780 --> 00:04:11,760
Yeah, it's passed off as food.

63
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:22,160
And because of the misinformation, the disinformation, deceptive packaging by food companies, people actually think that they're eating healthy when it comes down to nutrition.

64
00:04:23,380 --> 00:04:29,200
But again, we've been, here's what I say, when you've been told a lie long enough, it becomes the truth.

65
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,680
We've been told nothing but lies.

66
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,320
And I also say if you don't educate yourself

67
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,980
Or be educated in today's world

68
00:04:37,980 --> 00:04:39,800
2026

69
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:45,320
Then you're going to drift into metabolic dysfunction

70
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,720
Because here's what I think a lot of people don't realise

71
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,020
It can take years, even decades

72
00:04:51,020 --> 00:04:54,740
For these symptoms to show up

73
00:04:54,740 --> 00:04:56,660
Like type 2 diabetes

74
00:04:56,660 --> 00:04:59,280
You don't wake up one morning with type 2 diabetes

75
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:03,000
That happens over years and years.

76
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:19,563
Slow build of insulin resistance and then it turns into pre and then diabetes high blood pressure People I say the average person has no idea why they have belly fat

77
00:05:19,563 --> 00:05:24,683
or they've put a load of weight on, because even when you go to your doctor,

78
00:05:25,583 --> 00:05:28,383
I mean, I wouldn't even call it a healthcare system anymore.

79
00:05:28,523 --> 00:05:31,643
It's disease management at the GP level, right?

80
00:05:32,283 --> 00:05:34,363
You go with symptoms, they don't go,

81
00:05:34,363 --> 00:05:36,863
okay, your blood pressure's high, let's have a look now.

82
00:05:36,863 --> 00:05:46,183
I mean, I tell you right now, to normalize your blood pressure and to lose weight is ridiculously easy.

83
00:05:46,823 --> 00:05:47,663
It is.

84
00:05:47,923 --> 00:05:49,423
It's ridiculously easy.

85
00:05:49,603 --> 00:05:50,083
It's defense.

86
00:05:50,843 --> 00:05:55,283
Just literally cut two things out of your diet, sugar and carbs.

87
00:05:55,543 --> 00:05:56,023
Well, I know.

88
00:05:56,143 --> 00:05:56,923
I say this, mate.

89
00:05:56,983 --> 00:05:57,803
Yeah, two things.

90
00:05:57,963 --> 00:05:59,543
Let's call it three things.

91
00:05:59,863 --> 00:06:06,123
Fast food, processed food, and sugary drinks because they all have the ingredients you're talking about.

92
00:06:06,863 --> 00:06:09,423
And that is the problem

93
00:06:09,423 --> 00:06:10,583
Here's another problem

94
00:06:10,583 --> 00:06:12,523
Is we've slowly led to believe

95
00:06:12,523 --> 00:06:15,283
That three meals a day and snacking

96
00:06:15,283 --> 00:06:16,723
Is the way to go

97
00:06:16,723 --> 00:06:19,063
If you're feeling a little hungry

98
00:06:19,063 --> 00:06:20,363
We've got a snack for you

99
00:06:20,363 --> 00:06:23,443
Full of sugar, unhealthy fats and seed oils

100
00:06:23,443 --> 00:06:25,823
Oh, it's got chemicals in there

101
00:06:25,823 --> 00:06:27,083
But hey, don't say anything

102
00:06:27,083 --> 00:06:28,043
It won't, no

103
00:06:28,043 --> 00:06:31,543
It's absolutely criminal as far as I think

104
00:06:31,543 --> 00:06:33,563
And this is why I have this passion now

105
00:06:33,563 --> 00:06:35,823
After watching both my brother and my father

106
00:06:35,823 --> 00:06:36,743
Have heart attacks

107
00:06:36,743 --> 00:06:44,763
My brother lost a percent of his eyesight, bleeding ulcers, liver damage, kidney damage, five years housebound for my dad, sarcopenia.

108
00:06:44,983 --> 00:06:45,823
I mean, you name it.

109
00:06:46,083 --> 00:06:47,483
Between them, they've had everything.

110
00:06:48,003 --> 00:06:49,923
My father passed away riddle with gangrene.

111
00:06:51,443 --> 00:06:56,763
So, I think back to you, I got off your question there, but back to what I do.

112
00:06:57,003 --> 00:06:58,243
And this is simple too.

113
00:06:58,983 --> 00:07:01,063
And this is why I wrote this book here, look.

114
00:07:01,803 --> 00:07:06,103
Small steps, big, big results from a whole food diet.

115
00:07:06,103 --> 00:07:09,943
because I wrote this book because in the beginning,

116
00:07:10,383 --> 00:07:11,943
I've only been in this for six years,

117
00:07:12,043 --> 00:07:17,243
but in the beginning when I make sure that I wasn't setting myself up for this,

118
00:07:17,243 --> 00:07:21,043
I took a six-month nutrition certification course.

119
00:07:22,483 --> 00:07:23,623
And even at the end of that,

120
00:07:23,683 --> 00:07:27,183
I really weren't planning on being a health and wellness coach.

121
00:07:29,143 --> 00:07:30,803
I started to help friends.

122
00:07:32,663 --> 00:07:34,963
And before they knew it, they were losing weight.

123
00:07:34,963 --> 00:07:43,263
And those who were on any medications, it wasn't too long, they were heading back to the doctors who were reducing and then eliminating the medications.

124
00:07:43,863 --> 00:07:46,203
But they're now alive and thriving.

125
00:07:47,683 --> 00:07:50,223
And then I started to, well, friends of friends.

126
00:07:50,743 --> 00:07:53,223
And then I've just moved into now.

127
00:07:53,803 --> 00:07:55,343
I sort of semi-retired.

128
00:07:55,463 --> 00:07:57,923
I'm 68 now, but I retired.

129
00:07:58,183 --> 00:07:58,703
What was it?

130
00:07:58,763 --> 00:07:59,043
65.

131
00:07:59,123 --> 00:08:02,363
So prior to that, I had, I mean, I had clients for years.

132
00:08:02,443 --> 00:08:03,463
I wasn't even charging.

133
00:08:03,463 --> 00:08:05,223
I just have this passion.

134
00:08:05,963 --> 00:08:09,483
I charge clients now because I'm providing a service.

135
00:08:09,963 --> 00:08:12,463
So, you know, I'm entitled to, one could say.

136
00:08:13,283 --> 00:08:14,183
You've viewed.

137
00:08:14,363 --> 00:08:14,603
Yeah.

138
00:08:14,963 --> 00:08:17,723
So it's just, I don't know.

139
00:08:17,983 --> 00:08:20,083
There really is no education out there.

140
00:08:20,163 --> 00:08:23,843
So I'm just trying to get my message out there to as many millions as I can,

141
00:08:23,923 --> 00:08:26,363
whether it be through a podcast, one-on-one.

142
00:08:26,603 --> 00:08:30,083
I've just recently moved into educating families.

143
00:08:30,083 --> 00:08:32,023
I went into families the other week.

144
00:08:32,023 --> 00:08:35,383
and by the time I'd left there, they were shocked

145
00:08:35,383 --> 00:08:37,083
the parents were shocked

146
00:08:37,083 --> 00:08:39,943
I went through the pantry, the kitchen, the cupboard

147
00:08:39,943 --> 00:08:42,403
and they were shocked at what they're feeding the kids

148
00:08:42,403 --> 00:08:46,483
so in parents' defence and even in anybody's defence

149
00:08:46,483 --> 00:08:49,343
it's not their fault

150
00:08:49,343 --> 00:08:52,923
now there are people out there who know they shouldn't be

151
00:08:52,923 --> 00:08:55,543
eating what they're eating

152
00:08:55,543 --> 00:08:59,343
they're leading a sedentary lifestyle and they know they shouldn't be

153
00:08:59,343 --> 00:09:00,683
they're drinking too much alcohol

154
00:09:00,683 --> 00:09:04,903
There are plenty of people out there, but I'm not aiming at them people.

155
00:09:05,023 --> 00:09:09,643
I'm aiming at people who, when they find out, they're shocked, just like I was.

156
00:09:09,903 --> 00:09:12,043
In fact, a little more than shocked, they're angry.

157
00:09:12,763 --> 00:09:16,143
That we've been lighter, and they're allowing all these chemicals

158
00:09:16,143 --> 00:09:21,203
and unhealthy ingredients in food, which you're making now from five years of age

159
00:09:21,203 --> 00:09:23,683
until you're dead.

160
00:09:24,243 --> 00:09:25,983
It's affecting everybody.

161
00:09:26,643 --> 00:09:28,963
It's not just affecting a certain demographic.

162
00:09:29,463 --> 00:09:31,903
It's the same in my country of origin, England.

163
00:09:32,563 --> 00:09:35,943
You go to the doctors, like my dad and my brother, they put you on a pill.

164
00:09:37,083 --> 00:09:39,223
It's quite disturbing, guys.

165
00:09:39,443 --> 00:09:40,883
It's disturbing to me.

166
00:09:42,083 --> 00:09:49,843
Well, yeah, the medical community is, I would say, their sole purpose at this point is symptom management.

167
00:09:50,383 --> 00:09:52,103
They don't treat diabetes.

168
00:09:52,363 --> 00:09:53,863
They treat the of diabetes.

169
00:09:53,863 --> 00:09:58,823
Both LX and I have made a huge journey on that.

170
00:09:58,923 --> 00:10:00,243
We're both homesteaders.

171
00:10:00,503 --> 00:10:02,063
I'm a farmsteader.

172
00:10:02,123 --> 00:10:02,583
That's right.

173
00:10:02,783 --> 00:10:07,343
I raise chickens, turkeys, geese, horses, goats.

174
00:10:07,543 --> 00:10:08,603
Oh, brilliant, mate, yeah.

175
00:10:08,643 --> 00:10:13,143
And we grow a ton of our own food.

176
00:10:13,623 --> 00:10:17,183
And one of the things I think is really cool,

177
00:10:17,183 --> 00:10:30,566
and I actually watched I think it was a little over four video you did on the food pyramid is that you know now there some recognition that the food pyramid was blatantly upside down right

178
00:10:30,866 --> 00:10:31,866
Without question.

179
00:10:32,026 --> 00:10:37,766
All the stuff you need as the base, it should, should have been on the bottom and it has never.

180
00:10:37,766 --> 00:10:46,046
And, you know, LX actually, you know, has, has a really, you know, I think a profound story around these changes.

181
00:10:46,526 --> 00:10:49,686
And, you know, maybe he can share that with us.

182
00:10:50,926 --> 00:10:51,126
Sure.

183
00:10:51,126 --> 00:10:52,246
I'd love to hear that, yeah.

184
00:10:54,406 --> 00:10:55,906
No, I was down that road.

185
00:10:56,006 --> 00:10:58,386
I was 285 pounds at my heaviest.

186
00:10:58,866 --> 00:11:02,646
I had an A1C of like 14.

187
00:11:03,206 --> 00:11:05,906
And, you know, like the doctors, they were going all at me.

188
00:11:06,086 --> 00:11:07,366
This is not going to work.

189
00:11:07,366 --> 00:11:10,806
But, of course, the biggest obstacle is wanting to make those changes.

190
00:11:11,046 --> 00:11:13,346
And at that point, I wasn't interested.

191
00:11:14,086 --> 00:11:17,626
I wanted my 12-pack of Coca-Cola every day.

192
00:11:17,626 --> 00:11:20,686
I wanted the pizza, the McDonald's, all the garbage.

193
00:11:20,986 --> 00:11:31,346
And, you know, later in life, I came to the realization, I'm not even sure how I landed there, but, you know, now we're doing the two meals a day and two days a week.

194
00:11:31,486 --> 00:11:34,066
My wife and I, we do the 24 hour fast.

195
00:11:34,346 --> 00:11:35,046
I love it.

196
00:11:35,466 --> 00:11:39,626
And when we shop at the grocery store, we only shop the periphery of the store.

197
00:11:40,466 --> 00:11:45,606
Basically the vegetables, the fresh things and nothing in the middle.

198
00:11:45,606 --> 00:11:49,126
That's where all the real food is, is around the perimeter.

199
00:11:49,606 --> 00:11:50,026
Right.

200
00:11:50,146 --> 00:11:55,486
I mean, we'd much rather have it, you know, ourselves, but what we can't produce or find locally.

201
00:11:56,246 --> 00:12:05,006
And look, if we'd be honest, most people, most people are not in a position to grow their own foods and animals.

202
00:12:05,006 --> 00:12:07,746
And, you know, you guys are fortunate to have farms.

203
00:12:07,846 --> 00:12:08,586
You can do that.

204
00:12:09,546 --> 00:12:11,006
But the average person isn't.

205
00:12:11,946 --> 00:12:15,546
What is your A1C now and what's considered normal?

206
00:12:15,606 --> 00:12:23,306
mine is 5.2 that's great what's but i mean the whole time you know they had me on the you know

207
00:12:23,306 --> 00:12:28,926
the genuine and the injectables and you know now i'm on nothing but you know they're they tell me

208
00:12:28,926 --> 00:12:33,486
that that's not reversible you'll have it forever yeah i know that's another thing to tell people

209
00:12:33,486 --> 00:12:38,706
it's what they told my brother and my father and even i've had clients come to for me to lose weight

210
00:12:38,706 --> 00:12:44,086
because i don't really advertise i can reverse people well i kind of do but don't but again i

211
00:12:44,086 --> 00:12:49,586
clients come to me to lose weight and they go, you know, I'm a type 2 diabetic. I go, oh, man,

212
00:12:49,666 --> 00:12:53,686
well, yeah, a good chance we can get rid of it. No, no, no, no. My doctor said I'm going to have

213
00:12:53,686 --> 00:12:58,366
this for life. I said, well, you know what? No offense, but your doctor's lying. It's just not

214
00:12:58,366 --> 00:13:05,266
true. I'm not saying 100% of people are reversible, but majority, if not a really high percentage are.

215
00:13:07,366 --> 00:13:13,426
Yeah. I think honestly, you know, again, you laid it out, right? You're five steps right there.

216
00:13:14,086 --> 00:13:14,566
our key.

217
00:13:15,106 --> 00:13:16,066
There's look,

218
00:13:16,146 --> 00:13:16,746
and here's,

219
00:13:17,306 --> 00:13:18,606
here's the other piece to this,

220
00:13:18,706 --> 00:13:18,886
right?

221
00:13:18,886 --> 00:13:22,246
I am not strict 365 days a year.

222
00:13:22,806 --> 00:13:23,106
You know,

223
00:13:23,166 --> 00:13:27,046
we will have a vacation or something and pizza will come out.

224
00:13:27,186 --> 00:13:27,466
Look,

225
00:13:27,526 --> 00:13:28,266
you don't have to be,

226
00:13:28,326 --> 00:13:29,526
it's not about being perfect.

227
00:13:29,526 --> 00:13:31,106
It's about being consistent.

228
00:13:31,466 --> 00:13:32,226
It is.

229
00:13:32,286 --> 00:13:32,906
And it's about,

230
00:13:33,006 --> 00:13:33,426
you know,

231
00:13:33,626 --> 00:13:35,726
treating those things as what they should be,

232
00:13:35,866 --> 00:13:36,886
which is a treat,

233
00:13:37,266 --> 00:13:37,526
right?

234
00:13:37,666 --> 00:13:38,726
A normal.

235
00:13:38,806 --> 00:13:39,286
Exactly.

236
00:13:39,526 --> 00:13:40,126
Exactly.

237
00:13:40,626 --> 00:13:40,726
Yeah.

238
00:13:40,726 --> 00:13:41,066
Yeah.

239
00:13:41,606 --> 00:13:42,526
Mm-hmm.

240
00:13:42,986 --> 00:13:43,746
And then,

241
00:13:43,746 --> 00:13:49,106
And let's just say pizza, for instance, just so your listeners can understand this.

242
00:13:50,026 --> 00:13:53,286
It's in the order of which you eat your food, too.

243
00:13:53,606 --> 00:13:59,546
Like if you just said, oh, I'm going to have two slices of pizza, well, your blood sugar is going to be spiking for hours.

244
00:13:59,546 --> 00:14:06,686
But if you add a salad first and then add a slice of pizza, you get a very different story there.

245
00:14:08,086 --> 00:14:09,466
Very different story.

246
00:14:09,466 --> 00:14:16,786
yeah i don't even eat bread anymore i don't i don't i won't touch american bread

247
00:14:16,786 --> 00:14:22,286
it's full of glyphosate what i have 15 15 ingredients is bread

248
00:14:22,286 --> 00:14:31,366
seed oils seed oils glyphosate from the wheat as well as you know almost every single loaf of

249
00:14:31,366 --> 00:14:37,786
bread you pick up in any store unless it's fresh made bread right which should have like three or

250
00:14:37,786 --> 00:14:43,666
four ingredients. Which is hard to find, let me tell you. It is. And almost all that stuff contains

251
00:14:43,666 --> 00:14:50,606
corn syrup as well. Corn syrup is sugar. Sugar will cause you health problems, especially if

252
00:14:50,606 --> 00:14:55,746
you're eating it. I mean, if you look in the middle of the store and start going through packaged foods,

253
00:14:56,046 --> 00:15:03,146
look for corn syrup, maltodextrin, things of this. There's 26 different names for sugars. So it's

254
00:15:03,146 --> 00:15:04,926
It's that sugar-free.

255
00:15:05,306 --> 00:15:05,966
Let's have it.

256
00:15:06,046 --> 00:15:06,326
Great.

257
00:15:06,766 --> 00:15:09,626
It's like sugar-free Coke, whatever you call it.

258
00:15:09,746 --> 00:15:13,486
Okay, it's got the sugar in, but I scanned it with the Yucca app.

259
00:15:14,306 --> 00:15:16,526
It's got six hazardous chemicals in.

260
00:15:17,346 --> 00:15:20,326
Okay, you're not getting sugar, but you're getting all these chemicals.

261
00:15:20,326 --> 00:15:23,886
But you're not getting your sugar, so, you know, you're happy with it.

262
00:15:24,246 --> 00:15:27,406
I'm a big fan of single-ingredient food.

263
00:15:27,426 --> 00:15:27,626
Absolutely.

264
00:15:28,106 --> 00:15:31,626
Like I said, you want to drink fluids, you should be drinking water.

265
00:15:32,346 --> 00:15:42,609
Yep Now I not saying there you go yeah and preferably not out of a plastic bottle right I know it all sounds silly but it what people are rubbing on the skin

266
00:15:42,769 --> 00:15:45,629
putting under their armpits, brushing the teeth with.

267
00:15:47,089 --> 00:15:50,589
Sunscreen, but you wonder why skin cancer's gone through the roof.

268
00:15:51,189 --> 00:15:54,909
Well, maybe stop rubbing the carcinogenic creams they put out there.

269
00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:58,469
And again, in people's defense, they don't know.

270
00:15:58,869 --> 00:15:59,749
They just don't know.

271
00:15:59,749 --> 00:16:06,829
uh you know the it's it's even further than that i think right there's there's a lot of i guess it

272
00:16:06,829 --> 00:16:12,289
would be cognitive dissonance that comes in like if you try and tell someone about seed oils like

273
00:16:12,289 --> 00:16:18,889
vegetable oil it is an industrial lubricant meant for lubrication that's what it was designed for

274
00:16:18,889 --> 00:16:28,168
yeah yeah so you are ingesting the equivalent of a refined grease that's not cool and even when i

275
00:16:28,168 --> 00:16:35,889
when you tell people and maybe people know they're still using it it's like if you eat anything fried

276
00:16:35,889 --> 00:16:42,749
it's been fried in that yep you know i go for happy hour which i've been going for for 10 years

277
00:16:42,749 --> 00:16:48,189
with a bunch of me actually it's my ex-boss me and him started it when we worked together 10 years

278
00:16:48,189 --> 00:16:55,289
10 11 years ago i don't work for him now but i still go for this happy hour and i know they're

279
00:16:55,289 --> 00:17:02,029
only joking but they always they always order onion rings and all this fried stuff and they go

280
00:17:02,029 --> 00:17:08,569
go on graham have an onion ring it won't kill you i go i know it won't kill and i know they're

281
00:17:08,569 --> 00:17:13,869
joking i know they're joking but but people out there what they're not realizing is

282
00:17:13,869 --> 00:17:22,429
it's the accumulation at the end of the day the end of the week the end of the month the end of

283
00:17:22,429 --> 00:17:30,208
the year, the end of the decade of that accumulation of every single thing you're putting in your body,

284
00:17:30,349 --> 00:17:36,748
you're rubbing on your skin on a daily, weekly, monthly basis is what slowly starts to accumulate.

285
00:17:37,069 --> 00:17:44,649
And then you start to get symptoms. Yeah. It's, it's the, the age old thing, right? I mean,

286
00:17:44,649 --> 00:17:51,228
they tell us, so, you know, this toxin is safe. It's not safe. You're just saying that at a

287
00:17:51,228 --> 00:17:58,069
minute level it won't produce any measurable toxicity for you today but if you're exposed

288
00:17:58,069 --> 00:18:05,569
to it on a daily basis over a period of weeks months years decades yeah it absolutely achemates

289
00:18:05,569 --> 00:18:11,228
absolutely first of all why would you put want to put any chemical in your body or on your skin

290
00:18:11,228 --> 00:18:18,629
regardless how little it may affect you again the human body is not designed for

291
00:18:18,629 --> 00:18:27,629
the plethora of unhealthy ingredients and oh man it's just and you wonder i mean it don't

292
00:18:27,629 --> 00:18:31,929
surprise me i tell you what i'll put and put money on it within the next five ten years

293
00:18:31,929 --> 00:18:38,809
we'll have teenagers having heart attacks because this is this isn't going away the only way it's

294
00:18:38,809 --> 00:18:44,228
going to go away is if you educate yourself or be educated and you're getting your quality meat

295
00:18:44,228 --> 00:18:48,689
from somewhere you're getting your quality veggies i don't it's not often i really shop in

296
00:18:48,689 --> 00:18:55,149
supermarkets anymore because i don't even trust them even when it says you know 100 i get all my

297
00:18:55,149 --> 00:19:01,609
meats from i know i don't know where the farms are coming from but and it's you know i gotta pay for

298
00:19:01,609 --> 00:19:07,049
it obviously gotta pay through the nose for it but but the best thing you can do is try and at

299
00:19:07,049 --> 00:19:15,488
least buy organic and eat real food yeah that's where you've got to start and i think you touched

300
00:19:15,488 --> 00:19:20,169
on it the cost of things is a is a big factor i mean for a lot of people they're working on a

301
00:19:20,169 --> 00:19:26,409
budget and i think they've designed it so that the stuff that's affordable is the worst stuff you

302
00:19:26,409 --> 00:19:30,188
could possibly put into your body all the stuff they're giving away at like the food pantries and

303
00:19:30,188 --> 00:19:30,948
Yeah, oh, yeah.

304
00:19:30,948 --> 00:19:31,448
Poison.

305
00:19:31,948 --> 00:19:32,748
Yeah, no, I know.

306
00:19:32,968 --> 00:19:33,728
Yeah, no, I know.

307
00:19:34,089 --> 00:19:43,289
But here's the thing, but, and I've had this, not a debate, but I've spoke about this a while, is, yes, you're right.

308
00:19:43,409 --> 00:19:45,429
It can be expensive eating healthy.

309
00:19:45,649 --> 00:19:50,109
However, I'm like you, well, I know you said you have two meals a day.

310
00:19:50,188 --> 00:19:51,109
What about you, Abba?

311
00:19:51,109 --> 00:19:51,829
How many did you have?

312
00:19:52,589 --> 00:19:53,769
Typically two meals.

313
00:19:53,869 --> 00:19:54,349
Right, same.

314
00:19:54,349 --> 00:20:06,289
So if you break it down when you were having three meals a day and snacking in between, and then having three Starbucks a day, two Starbucks a day, when you add all that up and then you break it down.

315
00:20:06,369 --> 00:20:11,629
Now, I know you're not going to wake up one morning from having three meals and snacking to go to two meals.

316
00:20:11,629 --> 00:20:18,748
And that's why I call my program Small Steps, because you slowly over the weeks, first of all, reduce your snacks.

317
00:20:18,748 --> 00:20:29,988
And if you start your first meal of the day with real nutritious whole food, that will trigger the hormone GLP-1.

318
00:20:30,129 --> 00:20:32,349
We naturally produce GLP-1.

319
00:20:33,069 --> 00:20:36,849
So when you're eating real food, then it'll satiate you.

320
00:20:37,629 --> 00:20:39,289
You don't think about snacking.

321
00:20:39,289 --> 00:20:39,649
That's true.

322
00:20:39,748 --> 00:20:40,708
Just like you guys.

323
00:20:41,008 --> 00:20:41,688
I'm the same.

324
00:20:41,869 --> 00:20:42,428
I have my first.

325
00:20:42,428 --> 00:20:48,129
I eat now in a six-hour window between around, give or take, noon and six o'clock.

326
00:20:48,129 --> 00:20:49,968
I have that first meal.

327
00:20:50,011 --> 00:20:59,731
I know I'm getting, you know, 40, 50 grams of protein, fiber, healthy fats, avocado, and I'm satiated.

328
00:20:59,731 --> 00:21:05,951
Two hours later, I'm not even, four hours later, I'm not even going, hmm, what can I have?

329
00:21:06,931 --> 00:21:07,851
And if I do...

330
00:21:07,851 --> 00:21:11,091
Havoc picks on me a little bit because I'm on a schedule.

331
00:21:11,311 --> 00:21:17,191
So we eat lunch about 10.30, and then we eat dinner at four o'clock, and that's it.

332
00:21:17,371 --> 00:21:18,031
I love it, man.

333
00:21:18,071 --> 00:21:19,151
I love your eating early.

334
00:21:19,151 --> 00:21:24,131
That's a good, I mean, on that evening meal, because that's another people's problem.

335
00:21:24,271 --> 00:21:27,551
They're eating and snacking, watching TV before they go to bed.

336
00:21:28,371 --> 00:21:29,491
Pick it on you, buddy.

337
00:21:30,231 --> 00:21:37,971
Yeah, so I have this, so, you know, I'm a big fan of, you know, single syllable foods,

338
00:21:38,211 --> 00:21:43,871
or not syllable, single ingredient foods, meat, you know, cheese, you know, these types of things.

339
00:21:43,871 --> 00:21:44,051
Yeah.

340
00:21:44,051 --> 00:21:49,851
And, you know, what I've found is when I'm eating like that, I only want to eat twice a day.

341
00:21:50,031 --> 00:21:50,511
Yeah.

342
00:21:50,831 --> 00:21:55,591
And what I've found for me that works and, you know, maybe I'm wrong.

343
00:21:55,731 --> 00:21:56,851
Maybe I should change this.

344
00:21:56,931 --> 00:21:57,411
I don't know.

345
00:21:57,711 --> 00:22:00,931
But I just eat when I am actually hungry.

346
00:22:01,311 --> 00:22:10,251
And I, you know, I eat, sometimes I eat very late at night, sometimes earlier, but I just wait until my body is like, yeah.

347
00:22:10,351 --> 00:22:12,511
Until your body's telling you, well, that's a good thing.

348
00:22:12,511 --> 00:22:15,971
Eating late at night is not good for your sleep and recovery.

349
00:22:16,791 --> 00:22:17,851
It's going to work out okay for me.

350
00:22:18,191 --> 00:22:18,891
I don't know.

351
00:22:19,111 --> 00:22:20,111
I don't have any issues.

352
00:22:20,111 --> 00:22:23,091
Well, again, you've got to look at science and studies,

353
00:22:23,311 --> 00:22:29,671
and you can say that, but the truth is your body can't heal,

354
00:22:29,811 --> 00:22:32,471
do its job when it's full of food and you go to bed.

355
00:22:32,931 --> 00:22:33,491
Just can't.

356
00:22:33,491 --> 00:22:33,711
Okay.

357
00:22:34,071 --> 00:22:34,631
Just can't.

358
00:22:34,771 --> 00:22:35,751
I mean, science is true.

359
00:22:35,751 --> 00:22:40,851
I've found for me one of the bigger changes for me

360
00:22:40,851 --> 00:22:43,771
has been what I do about sleep.

361
00:22:44,491 --> 00:22:45,691
You know, when I go to sleep,

362
00:22:45,691 --> 00:22:49,651
like no screens for hours before bed.

363
00:22:49,651 --> 00:22:49,951
That's good.

364
00:22:50,091 --> 00:22:52,111
Yeah, that's part of the sleep routine.

365
00:22:52,911 --> 00:22:54,911
I leave the window blinds open.

366
00:22:55,731 --> 00:22:56,471
And in the morning,

367
00:22:56,671 --> 00:23:01,431
I wake up typically between 6.30 a.m. and 7.30 a.m.

368
00:23:01,971 --> 00:23:02,651
No alarm.

369
00:23:02,971 --> 00:23:05,151
I wake up because it's light out

370
00:23:05,151 --> 00:23:06,191
and my body goes,

371
00:23:06,711 --> 00:23:07,151
yeah, we're good.

372
00:23:07,151 --> 00:23:07,791
Time to wake up.

373
00:23:07,791 --> 00:23:08,031
We're done sleeping.

374
00:23:08,031 --> 00:23:26,931
And I can tell you with absolute certainty after doing this for well over a year that if I have to wake up to an alarm for whatever, a work meeting, whatever the case may be, even if it's only like 10 minutes before I would have naturally woken up, I feel like absolute crap.

375
00:23:27,551 --> 00:23:30,071
Absolute for hours and hours.

376
00:23:30,291 --> 00:23:35,931
But if I just wake up naturally, I feel absolutely refreshed and ready to go.

377
00:23:35,931 --> 00:23:39,511
Yeah, I mean, yeah, that is definitely not everybody.

378
00:23:39,611 --> 00:23:40,251
I'm the same.

379
00:23:40,371 --> 00:23:44,111
I don't set me alarm because I don't have to be up early anyway.

380
00:23:44,351 --> 00:23:46,591
So, but a lot of people can't do that.

381
00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:55,711
So, you know, as regards sleep, there is an evening routine and a morning routine that I think most people are probably not even aware of.

382
00:23:56,231 --> 00:24:03,091
And by adhering to the morning routine and the evening routine, that's how you set your circadian rhythm.

383
00:24:04,251 --> 00:24:04,351
Yep.

384
00:24:04,351 --> 00:24:09,151
That's how you get quality sleep, deep sleep, good quality REM sleep.

385
00:24:09,651 --> 00:24:11,751
It's where the cleaners go in.

386
00:24:11,751 --> 00:24:15,731
They have to get rid of the metabolic and pathogenic waste,

387
00:24:15,831 --> 00:24:17,451
what you're built up over the day.

388
00:24:17,671 --> 00:24:22,471
When you're sleeping, that's what your body's working to get rid of things.

389
00:24:23,351 --> 00:24:27,971
And like you said, you know, if you're sat watching a screen before I go to bed

390
00:24:27,971 --> 00:24:32,071
with all this blue and you're probably watching something negative as well,

391
00:24:32,071 --> 00:24:36,771
or you're on your phone scrolling, that is not the way to end your day.

392
00:24:37,091 --> 00:24:40,711
Here's what the science has proven and this recommend is,

393
00:24:42,111 --> 00:24:45,971
yeah, no food or alcohol at least three hours before.

394
00:24:46,911 --> 00:24:49,191
And then at least an hour before.

395
00:24:49,371 --> 00:24:51,591
I'm more like you, in fact, I don't watch TV.

396
00:24:51,731 --> 00:24:54,331
I'm watching TV now because I'm watching the World Cup.

397
00:24:54,331 --> 00:24:56,211
But fortunately, it's not on late.

398
00:24:56,211 --> 00:25:02,171
So, yeah, so your screen's off at least an hour before.

399
00:25:02,491 --> 00:25:03,211
Dim the lights.

400
00:25:03,331 --> 00:25:04,431
Listen to a podcast.

401
00:25:05,051 --> 00:25:06,611
Listen to your favorite comedian.

402
00:25:07,091 --> 00:25:09,891
Then you're telling your body it's time to wind down.

403
00:25:10,951 --> 00:25:16,751
And then when it comes, ideally a cool bedroom, and they say dark.

404
00:25:18,571 --> 00:25:20,371
And then there's the morning routine.

405
00:25:20,651 --> 00:25:24,711
And I think most people definitely don't do this because most people wake up,

406
00:25:24,711 --> 00:25:26,151
They go straight for the caffeine.

407
00:25:26,751 --> 00:25:28,291
They're scrolling on the phone.

408
00:25:28,651 --> 00:25:29,791
They're on their emails.

409
00:25:29,971 --> 00:25:37,911
They're getting stressed out because what people, I don't think, realize when you wake up on the morning, your body naturally produces cortisol.

410
00:25:37,911 --> 00:25:41,671
That goes back from the beginning of man.

411
00:25:42,391 --> 00:25:44,511
So your body's releasing cortisol.

412
00:25:44,711 --> 00:25:48,691
Now it's up to us to let it know that everything's okay.

413
00:25:48,811 --> 00:25:51,391
There's not a tiger or a lion outside the cave.

414
00:25:51,391 --> 00:26:11,868
So you have to I say your morning routine should be a warm up and not straight out the starting blocks So ideally you need to hydrate You had no hydration for probably eight nine ten hours I put some Mediterranean sea salt a squeeze of lemon a squeeze of lime

415
00:26:12,608 --> 00:26:18,288
Hydrate for the first, I mean, try and keep away from caffeine, I'd say, for an hour.

416
00:26:18,888 --> 00:26:22,068
So hydrate and then just move your body, nothing extreme.

417
00:26:22,668 --> 00:26:23,748
Just do some squats.

418
00:26:23,748 --> 00:26:27,328
Hold on to your kitchen countertop or your sink and do ten squats.

419
00:26:27,508 --> 00:26:29,408
Do some push-ups off the wall.

420
00:26:29,888 --> 00:26:32,388
Just, you know, wave your arms around.

421
00:26:32,788 --> 00:26:34,948
Ideally, they say, step outside.

422
00:26:35,408 --> 00:26:36,688
It doesn't even have to be sunny.

423
00:26:36,828 --> 00:26:37,728
Just look.

424
00:26:38,048 --> 00:26:41,168
Now, you've already, by doing that, you've signaled to your body.

425
00:26:42,008 --> 00:26:42,788
Everything's fine.

426
00:26:42,868 --> 00:26:43,868
You're hydrating it.

427
00:26:44,128 --> 00:26:47,768
Your blood's moving around your body a bit better now, and it's moving.

428
00:26:47,768 --> 00:26:49,548
Your organs are waking up.

429
00:26:50,248 --> 00:26:55,768
And then you step outside, and it's like, ideally, go for a little walk if you can.

430
00:26:55,888 --> 00:26:56,128
Great.

431
00:26:56,128 --> 00:26:59,148
If you have a dog, this is the best time to walk your dog.

432
00:26:59,848 --> 00:27:02,508
And I guarantee you, you do that for a week or so,

433
00:27:03,648 --> 00:27:06,828
you come back in the house, you won't be looking for caffeine.

434
00:27:06,968 --> 00:27:08,548
You'll be awake and you'll feel good.

435
00:27:08,948 --> 00:27:09,768
You'll be alive.

436
00:27:10,568 --> 00:27:13,168
People are dragging their ass when they get out of bed.

437
00:27:13,368 --> 00:27:14,928
Oh, I've got to have my caffeine.

438
00:27:15,228 --> 00:27:16,448
Oh, I better have another one.

439
00:27:16,568 --> 00:27:19,108
I'm still, you know, and then they bombard themselves

440
00:27:19,108 --> 00:27:24,388
with all this negative, whether it be politics or emails from work.

441
00:27:24,388 --> 00:27:26,668
Not the way to start your day

442
00:27:26,668 --> 00:27:27,968
So that evening routine

443
00:27:27,968 --> 00:27:29,548
And that morning routine

444
00:27:29,548 --> 00:27:31,448
Again, what I found

445
00:27:31,448 --> 00:27:33,288
Well, not what I found

446
00:27:33,288 --> 00:27:35,648
To say this is what science is proving

447
00:27:35,648 --> 00:27:37,488
That these five pillars

448
00:27:37,488 --> 00:27:38,308
What I mentioned

449
00:27:38,308 --> 00:27:41,688
They don't work independently

450
00:27:41,688 --> 00:27:44,028
So if you're going to ignore one of them

451
00:27:44,028 --> 00:27:45,788
Or push one to one side

452
00:27:45,788 --> 00:27:47,188
Well, eventually

453
00:27:47,188 --> 00:27:50,828
It will catch up with you

454
00:27:50,828 --> 00:27:53,348
It's easier now than ever

455
00:27:53,348 --> 00:27:54,948
to develop lifestyle disease.

456
00:27:55,068 --> 00:27:56,308
And like we all agree,

457
00:27:56,468 --> 00:27:58,148
can take years, even decades.

458
00:27:58,268 --> 00:27:59,088
And that's the problem.

459
00:27:59,228 --> 00:28:01,268
People go, well, I feel okay.

460
00:28:02,008 --> 00:28:02,948
I feel great.

461
00:28:04,168 --> 00:28:06,188
Well, sure, maybe you do.

462
00:28:06,188 --> 00:28:08,748
But what about, what do you think,

463
00:28:09,068 --> 00:28:10,948
do you ever consider or imagine

464
00:28:10,948 --> 00:28:12,208
what your health might be like

465
00:28:12,208 --> 00:28:15,288
in 10, 15, 20 plus years from now?

466
00:28:15,828 --> 00:28:17,948
And the way most people are going,

467
00:28:18,548 --> 00:28:19,468
they're not going to be healthy.

468
00:28:20,728 --> 00:28:22,988
Yeah, it's almost encouraged.

469
00:28:22,988 --> 00:28:24,428
and lifestyle, you know?

470
00:28:25,008 --> 00:28:25,208
I mean.

471
00:28:25,308 --> 00:28:26,988
It's absolutely encouraged,

472
00:28:27,128 --> 00:28:29,348
whether it be TV ads, billboards,

473
00:28:29,768 --> 00:28:31,768
95% of the supermarket.

474
00:28:32,308 --> 00:28:33,188
Yeah, it's encouraged.

475
00:28:33,488 --> 00:28:35,448
Just going to coffee, right?

476
00:28:35,608 --> 00:28:37,908
People, you know, I hear all the time,

477
00:28:37,988 --> 00:28:39,128
oh, I want to go get coffee.

478
00:28:39,208 --> 00:28:39,648
And I'm like.

479
00:28:40,708 --> 00:28:41,148
Why?

480
00:28:41,408 --> 00:28:42,268
I don't get it.

481
00:28:42,448 --> 00:28:42,708
You're not getting coffee.

482
00:28:43,148 --> 00:28:44,788
You don't have energy.

483
00:28:44,968 --> 00:28:46,948
You think you really need an energy drink?

484
00:28:47,308 --> 00:28:48,028
A sugar bomb?

485
00:28:48,448 --> 00:28:49,128
That's another one.

486
00:28:49,128 --> 00:28:49,308
Exactly.

487
00:28:49,568 --> 00:28:51,748
I mean, when it comes to teenagers

488
00:28:51,748 --> 00:28:52,648
with the,

489
00:28:52,648 --> 00:28:54,788
the stats are saying

490
00:28:54,788 --> 00:28:56,328
that 50% of teenagers

491
00:28:56,328 --> 00:28:57,308
are walking around

492
00:28:57,308 --> 00:28:59,048
with prediabetes,

493
00:28:59,528 --> 00:29:00,628
developing fatty liver,

494
00:29:00,928 --> 00:29:01,888
and they ain't got a clue.

495
00:29:02,428 --> 00:29:03,068
Because again,

496
00:29:03,608 --> 00:29:03,908
you know,

497
00:29:03,968 --> 00:29:04,948
it might be 10 years

498
00:29:04,948 --> 00:29:05,888
before they start

499
00:29:05,888 --> 00:29:06,768
to get symptoms.

500
00:29:07,588 --> 00:29:09,388
But all these sports drinks

501
00:29:09,388 --> 00:29:10,568
and energy drinks,

502
00:29:11,328 --> 00:29:13,548
I've seen 65 grams

503
00:29:13,548 --> 00:29:14,868
of sugar in there.

504
00:29:15,688 --> 00:29:15,788
Yeah.

505
00:29:16,048 --> 00:29:17,248
They actually came out

506
00:29:17,248 --> 00:29:18,228
with a new drink

507
00:29:18,228 --> 00:29:18,968
and I can't remember

508
00:29:18,968 --> 00:29:19,908
the company of it.

509
00:29:19,908 --> 00:29:26,008
And I honestly can't even wrap my head around this, but it's a new drink.

510
00:29:26,128 --> 00:29:33,428
It's marketing to children, and it's got 189 grams of sugar in one drink.

511
00:29:33,928 --> 00:29:34,048
Wow.

512
00:29:34,168 --> 00:29:34,288
Yeah.

513
00:29:34,328 --> 00:29:36,388
I mean, look, again, that's criminal.

514
00:29:36,808 --> 00:29:38,568
That's just poisoning people.

515
00:29:39,008 --> 00:29:40,568
Yeah, it is bizarre what's going on.

516
00:29:40,728 --> 00:29:47,308
I mean, I'm having a hard time getting my head around it, to tell you the truth, fellas.

517
00:29:47,308 --> 00:29:49,728
It's just like it should not be going on.

518
00:29:49,728 --> 00:29:54,688
America is a progressive, successful.

519
00:29:55,108 --> 00:29:56,108
You want to be an entrepreneur?

520
00:29:56,488 --> 00:29:58,568
Come to America, right?

521
00:29:58,648 --> 00:29:59,828
You want a good life?

522
00:29:59,928 --> 00:30:00,708
Come to America.

523
00:30:00,988 --> 00:30:01,828
You want to be sick?

524
00:30:02,188 --> 00:30:03,088
Yeah, come to America.

525
00:30:03,808 --> 00:30:04,548
We'll make you sick.

526
00:30:05,628 --> 00:30:06,888
I mean, it just shouldn't be happening.

527
00:30:07,028 --> 00:30:07,868
It's all for profit.

528
00:30:07,988 --> 00:30:09,388
We know why it's going on.

529
00:30:09,928 --> 00:30:10,828
I don't know.

530
00:30:10,888 --> 00:30:12,048
I don't know what to say.

531
00:30:12,268 --> 00:30:16,708
I am glad, and I'm not going down a political road here,

532
00:30:16,708 --> 00:30:28,648
But I am glad to see that the, I forget his name, the Kennedy guy, at least is talking about, you know, some of these products in children's food.

533
00:30:28,748 --> 00:30:34,908
But he should be just talking about the food in general, not just children's food.

534
00:30:35,128 --> 00:30:37,188
It's the food in general.

535
00:30:37,388 --> 00:30:40,788
But they all get quiet and they all get silenced.

536
00:30:41,048 --> 00:30:44,988
They all get the social media shut down if they start talking.

537
00:30:44,988 --> 00:30:53,988
I mean, I won't know probably half as much as I know if I didn't follow all the doctors I follow who have left the conventional medical system.

538
00:30:54,868 --> 00:30:57,148
You call them whistleblowers, call them what you want.

539
00:30:57,648 --> 00:31:01,748
But they're talking about how broken the system is.

540
00:31:02,548 --> 00:31:03,928
It's absolutely broken.

541
00:31:04,308 --> 00:31:22,344
And I have the same thing when I go to I got a great story for you and I got a great story listeners need to know and the only reason I telling this because people need to know that this goes on it two years ago now because this really is more rampant than you think

542
00:31:22,344 --> 00:31:29,064
two years ago now I went I had made myself to hospital to the emergency room one evening

543
00:31:29,064 --> 00:31:36,424
I got a pain in my bladder and it got really really bad I couldn't even walk I was drip white

544
00:31:36,424 --> 00:31:39,344
and I was sweating profusely like I'm never sweating my life.

545
00:31:40,884 --> 00:31:43,284
Anyway, my ex-partner took me to the emergency.

546
00:31:43,784 --> 00:31:44,964
I couldn't even walk in there.

547
00:31:45,044 --> 00:31:46,184
They wheeled me in in a wheelchair.

548
00:31:48,364 --> 00:31:51,144
Put me on this bed, drew some blood, and I'm laid there.

549
00:31:51,204 --> 00:31:54,284
There's a couple of nurses in the room, and I turn to them,

550
00:31:54,384 --> 00:31:56,604
and it says, through me moaning and groaning,

551
00:31:57,224 --> 00:31:59,424
hey, girls, I need to blow wind.

552
00:31:59,704 --> 00:32:01,064
And they're like, yeah, I've had it.

553
00:32:01,504 --> 00:32:04,584
Well, frickin' hell, I mean, I shook the building and cleared the room.

554
00:32:06,424 --> 00:32:14,584
And within seconds, that horrendous pain and sweating dissipate.

555
00:32:15,404 --> 00:32:17,444
I could not believe it.

556
00:32:17,444 --> 00:32:21,024
I got off the bed and I thought, let me do some jumping jacks,

557
00:32:21,024 --> 00:32:23,924
see if I'm feeling any pain deep inside.

558
00:32:24,644 --> 00:32:27,404
I'm doing some jumping jacks and the doctor walks in.

559
00:32:27,864 --> 00:32:29,864
He's like, whoa, whoa, what are you doing, Mr. Orley?

560
00:32:29,904 --> 00:32:32,164
I told him why I was doing these jumping.

561
00:32:32,284 --> 00:32:33,844
No, no, no, let's have you back on the bed.

562
00:32:33,844 --> 00:32:37,824
It says we found some, this is a wild story

563
00:32:37,824 --> 00:32:40,364
It says we found some troponin in your blood

564
00:32:40,364 --> 00:32:43,564
Well, I knew what troponin was

565
00:32:43,564 --> 00:32:45,944
But I didn't know this about troponin

566
00:32:45,944 --> 00:32:51,404
Anytime your body's under due stress

567
00:32:51,404 --> 00:32:56,144
It's just a defense mechanism

568
00:32:56,144 --> 00:32:58,284
Your heart will release troponin

569
00:32:58,284 --> 00:32:59,624
It's defending itself

570
00:32:59,624 --> 00:33:01,384
Now, if you're having a heart attack

571
00:33:01,384 --> 00:33:04,464
We're talking of 3,000, 3,500, 4,000.

572
00:33:05,804 --> 00:33:06,984
Mine was 17.

573
00:33:09,224 --> 00:33:09,664
Wow.

574
00:33:09,904 --> 00:33:14,324
That's no cause to think that someone's having a heart attack.

575
00:33:15,364 --> 00:33:17,424
So he said, we're keeping you in.

576
00:33:18,224 --> 00:33:21,544
Overnight, we're going to do stress test, and we're going to do a scan on you.

577
00:33:21,704 --> 00:33:24,624
I'm like, okay, because I didn't know what I just told you.

578
00:33:27,844 --> 00:33:29,644
So they wheeled me down in the morning.

579
00:33:29,644 --> 00:33:35,564
They got me on this scan, laid me on my back, scanned me,

580
00:33:36,264 --> 00:33:39,324
put me in the wheelchair, wheeled me over to the treadmill,

581
00:33:40,324 --> 00:33:43,084
and she's got me like speed walking on there.

582
00:33:43,804 --> 00:33:46,524
I'm like, I said, turn it up, love, you know.

583
00:33:46,644 --> 00:33:49,504
I said, I'm thinking, I play soccer three times a week.

584
00:33:49,584 --> 00:33:51,844
I run around like a lunatic for two hours.

585
00:33:52,044 --> 00:33:55,584
I have no symptoms at all of any blockage.

586
00:33:57,104 --> 00:33:59,624
Anyway, I'm sprinting on there, sprinting.

587
00:33:59,644 --> 00:34:03,524
Anyway, she wraps that up, gets me back in the wheelchair,

588
00:34:03,744 --> 00:34:06,604
takes me over, lays me on my stomach to scan me back.

589
00:34:06,724 --> 00:34:11,844
Well, also being a photographer, and I know that's a photography machine,

590
00:34:12,004 --> 00:34:13,864
whatever way you want to look at it, I'm like,

591
00:34:14,264 --> 00:34:19,304
how are they going to get a clear picture when my heart is absolutely pounding

592
00:34:19,304 --> 00:34:20,304
ten to the dozen?

593
00:34:21,584 --> 00:34:22,104
They're not.

594
00:34:23,444 --> 00:34:26,424
Anyway, they wheeled me back up to the room and they kept me in there.

595
00:34:26,424 --> 00:34:30,104
I remember they kept me in hospital, concerned I was having a heart attack.

596
00:34:30,304 --> 00:34:32,044
They kept me in that room for six hours.

597
00:34:32,424 --> 00:34:33,644
No one came to see me.

598
00:34:35,644 --> 00:34:37,424
Five o'clock, there's a knock on the door.

599
00:34:38,244 --> 00:34:39,604
Nurse and the sidekick.

600
00:34:41,744 --> 00:34:43,284
Sidekick sits over in a chair.

601
00:34:43,404 --> 00:34:47,444
I sat on the bed and the cardiologist stood next to me.

602
00:34:48,784 --> 00:34:49,864
Another knock on the door.

603
00:34:49,864 --> 00:34:52,004
Ex-partner came straight from work.

604
00:34:52,084 --> 00:34:53,524
She sat next to the sidekick.

605
00:34:54,264 --> 00:34:55,784
She says, yeah, Mr. Rowley.

606
00:34:55,784 --> 00:34:59,324
I'm sorry to have to inform you, but we found a blockage in your heart.

607
00:35:00,344 --> 00:35:03,644
And I've scheduled you for an angioplasty in the morning,

608
00:35:03,724 --> 00:35:05,124
which is a stent in your heart.

609
00:35:06,404 --> 00:35:08,004
I thought, okay, here we go.

610
00:35:08,084 --> 00:35:12,464
Knowing what I know, I says, and she had the report in her hand.

611
00:35:12,584 --> 00:35:13,304
I said, can I?

612
00:35:13,524 --> 00:35:14,804
And she went, yeah, sure.

613
00:35:16,184 --> 00:35:19,324
Right on the first, I wanted to see what it said about the stress test.

614
00:35:20,324 --> 00:35:23,804
But right on the first page, it said, admitted for chest pains.

615
00:35:23,804 --> 00:35:26,064
I said well first of all

616
00:35:26,064 --> 00:35:27,664
I've got some wrong information here

617
00:35:27,664 --> 00:35:29,584
I was admitted for bladder pains

618
00:35:29,584 --> 00:35:31,664
And she came up with some excuse

619
00:35:31,664 --> 00:35:32,844
Yeah well you know

620
00:35:32,844 --> 00:35:34,384
When you're on the computer

621
00:35:34,384 --> 00:35:36,364
And the drop box comes down

622
00:35:36,364 --> 00:35:38,024
It don't really give you options

623
00:35:38,024 --> 00:35:41,564
I'm like what it don't say abdominal or other

624
00:35:41,564 --> 00:35:44,404
I flipped the pages

625
00:35:44,404 --> 00:35:47,024
And I got to the stress test

626
00:35:47,024 --> 00:35:49,724
And it said failed stress test

627
00:35:49,724 --> 00:35:51,824
Due to fatigue

628
00:35:51,824 --> 00:35:55,224
I said well look doctor

629
00:35:55,224 --> 00:35:56,584
I said I can't

630
00:35:56,584 --> 00:35:58,424
I can't vouch for your drop down box

631
00:35:58,424 --> 00:36:00,464
But this is an out and out lie

632
00:36:00,464 --> 00:36:03,484
I said I don't care what you say

633
00:36:03,484 --> 00:36:05,104
This is an out and out lie

634
00:36:05,104 --> 00:36:06,264
And it's not a mistake

635
00:36:06,264 --> 00:36:09,184
So based on what I know

636
00:36:09,184 --> 00:36:11,004
I'm going to discharge me

637
00:36:11,004 --> 00:36:13,644
Oh Mr. Hawley I would not discharge yourself

638
00:36:13,644 --> 00:36:14,604
In your condition

639
00:36:14,604 --> 00:36:17,624
I said so be it I will take that gamble

640
00:36:17,624 --> 00:36:19,424
And she says well what do you mean

641
00:36:19,424 --> 00:36:20,044
What you know

642
00:36:20,044 --> 00:36:20,904
I says well

643
00:36:20,904 --> 00:36:34,280
I said I a health and wellness coach I follow doctors Who have left the conventional medical system They always saying that it unnecessary pushing a test procedures and pills But better than

644
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:40,320
that, I built a house for a cardiologist. I used to be a construction manager. I built

645
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:47,180
a house for a cardiologist here in Denver, who I personally know. And she told me, I

646
00:36:47,180 --> 00:36:48,960
I don't know, maybe a year or two ago,

647
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,400
that she's leaving the conventional medical system

648
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,160
and she's setting her own practice up

649
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,900
because of what I just told you.

650
00:36:56,940 --> 00:36:58,100
She wants to help people.

651
00:36:59,340 --> 00:37:01,420
So I'm going to discharge myself

652
00:37:01,420 --> 00:37:03,200
and I'm going to reach out to her.

653
00:37:03,660 --> 00:37:05,920
So I walked out of that hospital discharge

654
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,640
against their advice.

655
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:09,780
And in my cell phone here,

656
00:37:10,340 --> 00:37:11,400
who do you think I've got?

657
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,280
I've got the cardiologist number.

658
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,820
Calls her up, explain what went on.

659
00:37:15,820 --> 00:37:18,460
She said, Graham, great. Come and see me. Let's get you sorted out.

660
00:37:19,220 --> 00:37:23,020
So she says, OK, I'm going to send you for pretty much the same test,

661
00:37:23,100 --> 00:37:26,020
but it's a little bit better because you're going to take a pill tonight,

662
00:37:26,540 --> 00:37:31,140
a pill in the morning, two hours before, and it's going to slow your heart rate down.

663
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,760
They're going to get a real clear picture and we'll see if you have a blockage.

664
00:37:35,180 --> 00:37:38,980
Long story short, it came back at the bottom.

665
00:37:38,980 --> 00:37:42,280
In medical terms, it says, oh, what did it say?

666
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,280
Okay, I think

667
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,360
Nothing

668
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,820
Unremarkable is what it said

669
00:37:48,820 --> 00:37:50,020
Unremarkable

670
00:37:50,020 --> 00:37:52,920
She said, Graham, you don't have a blockage in your heart

671
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,220
You've got a very healthy heart

672
00:37:54,220 --> 00:37:56,940
And you've got a low, extremely low calcium score

673
00:37:56,940 --> 00:38:00,640
Now this is what goes on

674
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,820
And I'll tell you one more quick story

675
00:38:02,820 --> 00:38:04,540
Because people, if you're listening to this

676
00:38:04,540 --> 00:38:06,540
Look, if you get in a car crash

677
00:38:06,540 --> 00:38:07,500
You fall off a roof

678
00:38:07,500 --> 00:38:09,620
And you're laid in an hospital bed

679
00:38:09,620 --> 00:38:11,300
And they say they need to take someone out

680
00:38:11,300 --> 00:38:13,460
to do something, you don't really have a choice.

681
00:38:14,260 --> 00:38:15,340
But if you have a choice

682
00:38:15,340 --> 00:38:17,300
and you can go for a second opinion, I'm going

683
00:38:17,300 --> 00:38:19,400
to tell you one more quick story and I'll make

684
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:20,640
it quick. I know somebody

685
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,300
very near and dear to me, had

686
00:38:23,300 --> 00:38:25,100
a pain in the lower, like

687
00:38:25,100 --> 00:38:26,540
around the kidney area.

688
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:29,280
Took her in.

689
00:38:29,820 --> 00:38:30,680
I took her in.

690
00:38:31,140 --> 00:38:33,340
They did all these tests. If we can't find what's wrong,

691
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,260
we'll send you on with some painkillers. Wake

692
00:38:35,260 --> 00:38:37,200
up in the morning, exactly the same.

693
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,200
Took her back in. Did all

694
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:44,860
these tests and they go we found it your gallbladder we need to take your gallbladder out

695
00:38:44,860 --> 00:38:52,000
what do you do you trust them right so they took a gallbladder out sent her home woke up the next

696
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:59,560
morning exact same pain in the exact same place i am to be on the phone with a friend of mine in

697
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:05,020
california and i was telling him he goes hey graham he goes that sounds exactly exactly like

698
00:39:05,020 --> 00:39:08,120
when I was diagnosed with shingles.

699
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,500
So we didn't go back to the hospital.

700
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,700
We went to the urgent care on the corner,

701
00:39:15,020 --> 00:39:17,020
explained to the doctor what went on,

702
00:39:17,660 --> 00:39:19,920
and he said to her, take your shirt off.

703
00:39:20,620 --> 00:39:21,940
She took her shirt off.

704
00:39:22,140 --> 00:39:24,040
He walked around the back, and he goes,

705
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:25,480
well, you've got shingles.

706
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,260
And I mean, I've heard so many stories of him

707
00:39:32,260 --> 00:39:39,060
taking things out unnecessarily keeping people in hospitals unnecessarily i mean i hate to bring

708
00:39:39,060 --> 00:39:46,200
the system down like this but people need to be aware now is that just a misdiagnosis and a mistake

709
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:53,560
or is that even more sinister than that well obviously i can't i can't look with all today's

710
00:39:53,560 --> 00:40:00,420
technology i'm saying it's sinister yeah you can't you can't diagnose somebody with shingles

711
00:40:00,420 --> 00:40:03,560
or whether they've got a defective gallbladder.

712
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,620
And then you lie to say somebody failed a stress test

713
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,600
and you put he came in with chest pains.

714
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,040
So the insurance goes, oh, came in with chest pains

715
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,260
and, oh, and he failed a stress test.

716
00:40:16,380 --> 00:40:17,340
Yeah, we'll pay for it.

717
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,860
I've lost trust in the medical system.

718
00:40:22,860 --> 00:40:28,220
And I hate that because we need doctors.

719
00:40:28,620 --> 00:40:29,940
We need a healthcare system.

720
00:40:30,420 --> 00:40:36,340
you don't have a healthcare system we have a sick care system yeah well it comes down to two

721
00:40:36,340 --> 00:40:42,120
distinct tracks right you've got one track which is the insurance piece of it right and and you

722
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:48,340
have a doctor's office one doctor in it and and eight people that do nothing but manage yeah so

723
00:40:48,340 --> 00:40:54,160
you've got that then you've got the money of it right and you know at the end of the day the you

724
00:40:54,160 --> 00:41:00,020
know they're not the time they have the time to do it right and they're trying to make that insurance

725
00:41:00,020 --> 00:41:06,940
will pay them. So, you know, you've got, you've got these things combined. And we've gone away

726
00:41:06,940 --> 00:41:13,080
from healthcare into sick care. And I totally agree with you. I mean, obviously when it comes

727
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:20,400
to emergencies, yeah, there's the best surgeons out there, the best facilities, top notch. I mean,

728
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:26,940
probably might be the best in the world, right? But when it comes just down to taking care of

729
00:41:26,940 --> 00:41:28,740
people's basic health.

730
00:41:29,940 --> 00:41:31,900
They can't do it.

731
00:41:31,900 --> 00:41:35,460
They operate on 95th percentile rule.

732
00:41:35,460 --> 00:41:38,020
So if you have symptoms X, Y, and Z,

733
00:41:38,020 --> 00:41:39,960
then 95% of the time,

734
00:41:39,997 --> 00:41:41,097
this will solve it.

735
00:41:41,357 --> 00:41:42,137
That's enough done.

736
00:41:42,317 --> 00:41:44,177
You told me your symptoms, here, this will solve it.

737
00:41:44,297 --> 00:41:45,317
Yeah, but it doesn't solve it.

738
00:41:45,357 --> 00:41:47,037
It just solves your symptoms, doesn't it?

739
00:41:47,657 --> 00:41:50,737
And slowly over time, just like my dad and my brother,

740
00:41:50,837 --> 00:41:52,137
they were taking the medications.

741
00:41:52,357 --> 00:41:54,417
In fact, I was once sat with my dad.

742
00:41:55,857 --> 00:41:57,477
I went home to visit my dad,

743
00:41:57,477 --> 00:42:00,097
and this was the time he was housebound.

744
00:42:01,237 --> 00:42:04,317
He said, can you just go into the dining room?

745
00:42:04,417 --> 00:42:05,657
You'll see my pillbox.

746
00:42:06,257 --> 00:42:06,937
Bring it to me.

747
00:42:07,137 --> 00:42:09,417
You know, he couldn't get out of a chair or even go get it.

748
00:42:09,997 --> 00:42:13,577
So I brought his pillbox, he popped it open and he tipped it onto the table.

749
00:42:13,777 --> 00:42:17,437
And I'm like, I says, that's a lot of tablets, don't they?

750
00:42:17,517 --> 00:42:19,197
There were 12, I counted them.

751
00:42:19,277 --> 00:42:21,517
I said, that's the tablets for the week?

752
00:42:22,077 --> 00:42:23,857
He looked at me as though, week?

753
00:42:24,297 --> 00:42:26,177
He goes, no, that's a day.

754
00:42:27,177 --> 00:42:29,697
I'm like, wow, 12 tablets a day?

755
00:42:29,697 --> 00:42:35,297
No wonder you freaking lost your mobility and you're suffering with all these chronic illnesses.

756
00:42:35,297 --> 00:42:40,657
And, oh, man, I tell you, it's a sad situation.

757
00:42:40,857 --> 00:42:42,757
Self-care is the best health care, isn't it?

758
00:42:43,537 --> 00:42:44,217
It is.

759
00:42:44,697 --> 00:42:48,197
Really, it comes down to the five pillars that you laid out, right?

760
00:42:48,197 --> 00:42:48,697
Yeah, it does.

761
00:42:48,777 --> 00:42:49,477
It really does.

762
00:42:50,437 --> 00:42:54,177
So I just wanted to ask this as well, right?

763
00:42:54,237 --> 00:42:55,737
So you wrote this book.

764
00:42:55,977 --> 00:43:02,037
And one of the things that I always find intriguing, because I have attempted this myself, and it's not easy.

765
00:43:02,037 --> 00:43:08,997
but what was that process like for you? Was it easy? Was it difficult? Did it take a long time

766
00:43:08,997 --> 00:43:14,957
to complete the book or, you know? Yeah, that's a good question and I'm sure you'd get different

767
00:43:14,957 --> 00:43:21,717
answers from different people. For me, I never again, I never really had any dreams or aspirations

768
00:43:21,717 --> 00:43:28,877
of writing a book but when I started to see the results my clients were getting, I'm like,

769
00:43:28,877 --> 00:43:31,937
okay, I think it's time to write a book.

770
00:43:32,597 --> 00:43:35,897
So I don't really know how long it took me, to be honest,

771
00:43:35,917 --> 00:43:37,677
because I took my time with it.

772
00:43:38,537 --> 00:43:42,197
I really did took my time on research and writing it.

773
00:43:42,197 --> 00:43:46,157
I did have an assistant to some degree.

774
00:43:46,737 --> 00:43:50,697
Didn't write the book for me, but my assistant, ChatGPT,

775
00:43:50,957 --> 00:43:52,077
helped me out immensely.

776
00:43:52,997 --> 00:43:53,557
Sure.

777
00:43:53,837 --> 00:43:58,057
Helped me out immensely because I would, what I liked about it,

778
00:43:58,057 --> 00:44:00,897
I would start by saying, please reword.

779
00:44:01,637 --> 00:44:05,777
And then I would write what, you know, I could just write and write and write.

780
00:44:06,097 --> 00:44:12,217
And then it would reword it, make it more, you know, legible and just really like, oh.

781
00:44:12,317 --> 00:44:13,837
And then it'd give suggestions.

782
00:44:14,357 --> 00:44:18,877
Well, now you're talking of this, you know, you might want to think.

783
00:44:18,877 --> 00:44:27,897
And then at the back of the book, it's where, because you can ask JTBT where it's getting all its information from.

784
00:44:28,057 --> 00:44:29,837
And you know where it was getting them from?

785
00:44:30,457 --> 00:44:31,937
All the doctors I follow.

786
00:44:33,897 --> 00:44:35,557
We've also wrote books.

787
00:44:36,637 --> 00:44:38,477
So I believe everything in here,

788
00:44:39,077 --> 00:44:42,557
and I probably couldn't have done it without the help of Chachi TB,

789
00:44:42,777 --> 00:44:43,757
if I'd be honest,

790
00:44:44,757 --> 00:44:49,397
but I believe everything in this book is true.

791
00:44:50,497 --> 00:44:56,817
And all this really is is the program I run my clients through.

792
00:44:56,817 --> 00:44:58,717
and they lose weight.

793
00:44:59,037 --> 00:45:01,417
They have the medications reduced and eliminated.

794
00:45:01,697 --> 00:45:04,457
So I don't know, you believe it or not.

795
00:45:06,937 --> 00:45:10,617
So I think overall it took me a while because I didn't,

796
00:45:10,697 --> 00:45:12,137
I went in a rush to do it.

797
00:45:12,697 --> 00:45:16,497
And then I got a publisher to help me.

798
00:45:17,157 --> 00:45:19,477
She kind of designed the cover actually

799
00:45:19,477 --> 00:45:22,137
and just took that side of it away from me

800
00:45:22,137 --> 00:45:24,737
because I had no idea about publishing.

801
00:45:24,737 --> 00:45:33,117
so now next i'm thinking of turning it into an audio book oh nice well that'd be nice yeah i

802
00:45:33,117 --> 00:45:38,497
think so i mean me i don't often read books but i do listen to a lot of audio whether it be podcast

803
00:45:38,497 --> 00:45:42,557
or audio books just because it's quick and easy you can do it while you're driving

804
00:45:42,557 --> 00:45:48,937
while i'm on my bike or something you know lots of ways you can you can listen to something if

805
00:45:48,937 --> 00:45:53,897
you don't have time to read are you going to narrate yourself that's a good question somebody

806
00:45:53,897 --> 00:45:59,117
else asked me that i don't think so actually but i would like to find somebody with a british accent

807
00:45:59,117 --> 00:46:05,577
i think you should because i i american audiences they they like british accents they i think they

808
00:46:05,577 --> 00:46:11,337
come across as being more authoritative on the subject yeah i mean i've kind of i've kind of

809
00:46:11,337 --> 00:46:22,197
hey gentlemen that's why i've kept my accent that's right yeah yeah yeah no yeah no i mean

810
00:46:22,197 --> 00:46:26,497
You got a good point there, but I'm not sure if I could be honest.

811
00:46:26,697 --> 00:46:30,917
It seems like a lot of work, but maybe I'll just try it and who knows.

812
00:46:31,837 --> 00:46:32,217
Yeah.

813
00:46:32,717 --> 00:46:33,877
I think you should try it.

814
00:46:33,937 --> 00:46:34,137
Yeah.

815
00:46:34,277 --> 00:46:35,457
Well, it's worth a try, isn't it?

816
00:46:35,477 --> 00:46:36,277
It's worth a try.

817
00:46:37,257 --> 00:46:40,117
And I think this probably happens to most people.

818
00:46:40,117 --> 00:46:59,913
Once you write a book and it published and you get months or years down the road you go oh I wish I have added this Oh I wish I have said that so if i turn it into an audiobook let me rephrase that when i turn it into an audiobook then i can add the

819
00:46:59,913 --> 00:47:04,453
things i've been chuntering in my head about oh i wish i'd have had that i wish i'd said that

820
00:47:04,453 --> 00:47:14,773
so no no sites on a volume two or or another uh not as yet no not as yet i need something to

821
00:47:14,773 --> 00:47:21,333
spark that off i think like whatever sparked this off see what i'm trying to do gentlemen i'm now

822
00:47:21,333 --> 00:47:27,073
trying to move into the presentation live presentation arena and i'll be honest as well

823
00:47:27,073 --> 00:47:33,073
there's one that's another i wrote the books for two reasons one the results my clients were getting

824
00:47:33,073 --> 00:47:39,333
and two i'm led to believe if you want to move into this live speaking then having a book is like

825
00:47:39,333 --> 00:47:46,713
a business card, you know, for whatever that's worth. So I did it for a few reasons.

826
00:47:48,013 --> 00:47:53,533
Yeah, it certainly helps. So do you, I guess one of my questions, because you had mentioned earlier

827
00:47:53,533 --> 00:48:00,693
that, you know, you'd made a statement, you know, basically how should people know, right? And one

828
00:48:00,693 --> 00:48:06,013
of the things I always kind of come back to, because I'm a huge believer in individual

829
00:48:06,013 --> 00:48:12,413
responsibility as well as individual liberty, right? But one of the things that you had said

830
00:48:12,413 --> 00:48:18,533
was, you know, how should they know? And I always go back to, you know, why aren't we educating

831
00:48:18,533 --> 00:48:24,353
parents? Why aren't we actually going to the parents and saying, hey parents, you don't know

832
00:48:24,353 --> 00:48:29,613
this, but here, let me show you this ingredient list off of this loaf of bread you're buying.

833
00:48:30,033 --> 00:48:35,453
Let me show you the ingredients list off of this peanut butter. Why is there sugar in your peanut

834
00:48:35,453 --> 00:48:40,633
You have made a very, very strong point there, a very strong point.

835
00:48:40,833 --> 00:48:41,173
Why?

836
00:48:41,713 --> 00:48:44,333
Well, I think we know why, but it's wrong.

837
00:48:44,333 --> 00:48:49,373
It's funny because I started my own podcast, and I had a guest on.

838
00:48:49,433 --> 00:48:51,193
It was a physical education teacher.

839
00:48:52,633 --> 00:48:57,013
And we got on to this, and I said to him, because he says, you know,

840
00:48:57,113 --> 00:49:01,813
I teach the kids, you know, but these are kids from, I think,

841
00:49:01,913 --> 00:49:04,373
seven years of age until 11 or something.

842
00:49:04,373 --> 00:49:12,153
and he says you know I and this guy is I think this guy stands out his name's BK he stands out

843
00:49:12,153 --> 00:49:17,413
to me I don't have children so I don't really know what goes on in schools but he stands out to me

844
00:49:17,413 --> 00:49:24,513
he's going above and beyond just teaching physical education he's educating these kids about nutrition

845
00:49:24,513 --> 00:49:32,393
and this that and the other so I says wow I says well it seems to me though once a month that there

846
00:49:32,393 --> 00:49:39,033
should be a parents meeting in school to educate the parents because these young kids are not going

847
00:49:39,033 --> 00:49:44,653
to go home and say oh my teacher said i've got to stop eating my cholesterol lowering cereal

848
00:49:44,653 --> 00:49:52,873
the kids are not going to do that and then he told me we got on about he says yeah he says

849
00:49:52,873 --> 00:49:59,373
uh they'll come into class i'll have them move the body for five minutes warm them up and then

850
00:49:59,373 --> 00:50:03,113
most of them just sit down and say, oh, I'm too tired.

851
00:50:03,913 --> 00:50:07,033
And then they'll ask a question, but why are you tired?

852
00:50:07,973 --> 00:50:11,773
And they go, well, I went to bed at so-and-so time,

853
00:50:11,853 --> 00:50:13,353
and then I woke up at 1 o'clock.

854
00:50:14,493 --> 00:50:18,033
Because all the, what they call them, PlayStation and all that,

855
00:50:18,233 --> 00:50:21,013
Xbox, they seem to be all in the kid's room.

856
00:50:21,333 --> 00:50:24,693
So the kid's up playing on his Xbox at 2 in the morning.

857
00:50:25,173 --> 00:50:27,753
I mean, his parents have probably no idea, I would imagine.

858
00:50:27,753 --> 00:50:35,313
it's yeah parents need educating they need educating and again in parents defense look

859
00:50:35,313 --> 00:50:43,233
parents are not slowly poisoning in the kids on purpose right right they're not it's they don't

860
00:50:43,233 --> 00:50:49,933
know leaves that yeah they don't know because everything's been hidden look what are the two

861
00:50:49,933 --> 00:50:58,653
most important things in anybody's life, health and finances. They're not taught in school. They're

862
00:50:58,653 --> 00:51:05,373
not taught in college. They're not taught in university. So where'd you learn about that stuff?

863
00:51:05,733 --> 00:51:12,653
You learned the hard way, right? Well, we did, you know, to be fair, we did go through about a half

864
00:51:12,653 --> 00:51:17,813
hour of the food pyramid, which was broken and upside down. Okay. All right. Well, I'll give you

865
00:51:17,813 --> 00:51:24,273
that then you know i mean so you know i mean 18 years for you know half hour that seems adequate

866
00:51:24,273 --> 00:51:31,673
right right right brought to you by general mills exactly exactly exactly it's like all the studies

867
00:51:31,673 --> 00:51:39,093
and research to throw out there if you really dig deep and find out who financed that big food and

868
00:51:39,093 --> 00:51:44,693
big farmer yep sure it's gonna swing in there otherwise you won't be getting your millions

869
00:51:44,693 --> 00:51:52,133
Yeah, there's a lot of information out there if you're willing to actually look. Unfortunately,

870
00:51:52,133 --> 00:51:59,733
people operate on sound bites and headlines. You see a headline and someone will describe

871
00:51:59,733 --> 00:52:11,369
to you what the article about and you read the article The headline to grab your attention yeah the article was a completely different piece of information and you

872
00:52:11,369 --> 00:52:16,829
never bothered to take it up you looked at the headline went i have new information um you know

873
00:52:16,829 --> 00:52:24,409
and i think yeah i i have my own theories on this and i think it's getting worse uh with you know

874
00:52:24,409 --> 00:52:27,869
kind of the brain rot media that we've got going.

875
00:52:28,089 --> 00:52:29,169
It is getting worse.

876
00:52:29,889 --> 00:52:33,889
Do you have scrolling and fear porn and add in, you know,

877
00:52:34,109 --> 00:52:38,829
people used to look at a 15 minute video and go, look, a quick clip.

878
00:52:39,329 --> 00:52:43,609
Now, if it's over like a minute and a half, they're like, I can't spend that much time.

879
00:52:43,849 --> 00:52:44,749
It's very right.

880
00:52:44,849 --> 00:52:45,609
It's very true.

881
00:52:45,789 --> 00:52:49,329
I mean, look, just as we're talking about children, it's, I mean,

882
00:52:49,389 --> 00:52:52,689
children are leading more of a sedentary life than they ever did.

883
00:52:52,689 --> 00:52:59,749
again the human body is meant to move it's not meant to be sat in a chair or on a couch or

884
00:52:59,749 --> 00:53:07,569
in front of a screen all day long you said the pe the pe coach was was basically you know five

885
00:53:07,569 --> 00:53:12,749
minutes of warm-up and kids want to sit down at that age between seven and eleven you couldn't

886
00:53:12,749 --> 00:53:18,809
make me sit down i know you don't understand right where well where have we come yeah i know

887
00:53:18,809 --> 00:53:23,809
Because when I was a young kid, I was a teenager in the early 70s.

888
00:53:25,629 --> 00:53:29,429
And even before that, at any age, you'd come home from school.

889
00:53:30,089 --> 00:53:35,129
The first thing you'd do is get out your school uniform and you'd be out playing with all your mates.

890
00:53:35,869 --> 00:53:37,229
You'd be climbing trees.

891
00:53:37,969 --> 00:53:40,169
You'd be doing also kicking a ball around.

892
00:53:40,769 --> 00:53:45,609
In fact, the rule was as long as you're home before the streetlights come on.

893
00:53:46,509 --> 00:53:47,749
That's what the rule was.

894
00:53:47,749 --> 00:53:50,269
I don't see kids playing out at all.

895
00:53:51,269 --> 00:53:51,749
No.

896
00:53:52,289 --> 00:53:53,869
I don't either.

897
00:53:54,009 --> 00:53:54,329
I never.

898
00:53:54,709 --> 00:53:56,009
Very rarely.

899
00:53:56,189 --> 00:53:56,769
Very rare.

900
00:53:56,809 --> 00:53:58,949
Do you see kids even playing in the street?

901
00:53:59,089 --> 00:54:01,749
I understand we're in a different time now.

902
00:54:01,869 --> 00:54:09,229
So is it safe to let your 10 year old just go wandering off by himself with his 10 year old mates for three hours?

903
00:54:09,669 --> 00:54:10,589
Probably not.

904
00:54:11,009 --> 00:54:15,289
But, you know, yeah, I don't see kids playing in the street.

905
00:54:15,289 --> 00:54:17,909
Even when you go to the park, I do a lot of cycling.

906
00:54:19,529 --> 00:54:22,289
And I cycle through parks and I go,

907
00:54:23,309 --> 00:54:26,389
well, there's hardly anybody playing.

908
00:54:27,229 --> 00:54:28,549
Especially when it comes to kids,

909
00:54:28,609 --> 00:54:30,789
because they're all at home in front of the screens.

910
00:54:31,569 --> 00:54:34,789
Yeah, you'll see kind of a very young, I'd say,

911
00:54:34,869 --> 00:54:36,549
probably up to about age six,

912
00:54:37,049 --> 00:54:39,129
with a parent there or something,

913
00:54:39,409 --> 00:54:40,909
with a group of kids or something.

914
00:54:40,909 --> 00:54:41,509
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

915
00:54:41,569 --> 00:54:44,989
But back in the day, up until we were,

916
00:54:44,989 --> 00:54:45,689
you know,

917
00:54:45,789 --> 00:54:45,969
eight,

918
00:54:46,089 --> 00:54:47,869
16 actually.

919
00:54:48,069 --> 00:54:48,289
Yeah.

920
00:54:48,289 --> 00:54:49,469
I got my driver's license,

921
00:54:49,589 --> 00:54:50,229
but you know,

922
00:54:50,229 --> 00:54:54,629
we were building ramps and jumping ramps and riding our bikes.

923
00:54:54,789 --> 00:54:55,729
Do you know why?

924
00:54:55,849 --> 00:54:58,129
Because they want anything else to do.

925
00:54:59,049 --> 00:54:59,489
Well,

926
00:54:59,589 --> 00:55:00,089
we weren't.

927
00:55:00,269 --> 00:55:01,329
What are you going to do?

928
00:55:01,409 --> 00:55:01,689
I mean,

929
00:55:01,729 --> 00:55:03,969
I remember growing up as a young kid,

930
00:55:04,209 --> 00:55:05,709
there were three TV stations.

931
00:55:06,209 --> 00:55:06,649
Yeah.

932
00:55:06,729 --> 00:55:08,149
We had limited TV,

933
00:55:08,369 --> 00:55:09,049
but you know,

934
00:55:09,049 --> 00:55:10,889
by the time I guess I was in my,

935
00:55:10,949 --> 00:55:11,449
you know,

936
00:55:12,529 --> 00:55:13,289
early teens,

937
00:55:13,429 --> 00:55:13,549
we,

938
00:55:13,629 --> 00:55:13,809
you know,

939
00:55:13,809 --> 00:55:14,769
we had a decent,

940
00:55:14,769 --> 00:55:21,649
TV thing. And we had, you know, an Atari console, right? So we had video games, we had TV,

941
00:55:22,169 --> 00:55:28,069
but there was a bigger thing. Back then, I don't know about you guys, but my parents had

942
00:55:28,069 --> 00:55:34,289
TV locked down, right? You were allowed to watch, you know, cartoons on, you know, Saturday morning

943
00:55:34,289 --> 00:55:40,249
for an hour, maybe two hours. And that was it. The TV's off. You're going outside to play.

944
00:55:40,249 --> 00:55:47,769
It was mandatory. Get outside. Get outside. It's raining, man. Get outside.

945
00:55:47,789 --> 00:55:49,749
You're fine. You're waterproof. You'll be okay.

946
00:55:49,909 --> 00:55:51,249
Exactly. Put this hat on.

947
00:55:52,329 --> 00:56:04,169
No, look, it's all changed when it comes to, and again, these five pillars that don't work independently, and it's all changed.

948
00:56:04,169 --> 00:56:07,289
The nutrition has changed over the last 30 years.

949
00:56:08,629 --> 00:56:16,889
People have got used to all this comfort, if you want to call it, where it's easy just to sit down and watch something or play something.

950
00:56:17,789 --> 00:56:24,649
And when it comes to stress, we've got to admit there's more stress nowadays than there were 50, 60, 70 years ago, I think.

951
00:56:25,389 --> 00:56:27,029
You've got more politic stress.

952
00:56:27,189 --> 00:56:28,029
You've got more.

953
00:56:28,129 --> 00:56:30,989
I think that's all manufactured, to be honest with you.

954
00:56:31,029 --> 00:56:32,429
I don't think it's any more stress.

955
00:56:32,429 --> 00:56:43,049
I can remember very clearly in the early 70s, my father absolutely, you know, like veins sticking out of his forehead over politics.

956
00:56:43,749 --> 00:56:45,429
So, well, yeah, the difference was.

957
00:56:45,549 --> 00:56:45,909
All right.

958
00:56:45,969 --> 00:56:47,909
Well, I'm not going to argue with that.

959
00:56:48,069 --> 00:56:51,189
We had the 5 p.m. news and we had the 10 p.m. news.

960
00:56:51,329 --> 00:56:52,389
And that was it.

961
00:56:52,709 --> 00:56:53,229
That was it.

962
00:56:53,689 --> 00:56:56,549
So the amount of it being injected into your life.

963
00:56:56,549 --> 00:56:57,169
OK, then.

964
00:56:57,269 --> 00:56:57,429
Yeah.

965
00:56:57,509 --> 00:56:58,349
A fraction.

966
00:56:58,629 --> 00:56:59,029
That's right.

967
00:56:59,029 --> 00:57:04,589
I think the problem now, though, is that it tracks you and it follows you and it shoots this stuff straight at you.

968
00:57:04,669 --> 00:57:05,849
You can't even escape it.

969
00:57:05,849 --> 00:57:06,249
Exactly.

970
00:57:06,249 --> 00:57:22,586
And whatever side you lean into that just giving you more information to put the other side down I mean what really happening they putting people against each other They creating a divide They creating it with politics

971
00:57:23,206 --> 00:57:24,186
What do they call it?

972
00:57:24,426 --> 00:57:26,026
Rage baiting is what they do.

973
00:57:26,026 --> 00:57:26,866
Right, exactly.

974
00:57:27,106 --> 00:57:30,146
There's just so many ways they're dividing people.

975
00:57:30,826 --> 00:57:34,546
Which is an amazing thing, and I'm so happy that this has happened, right?

976
00:57:35,126 --> 00:57:39,326
I don't know if you've seen it, but I've seen little clips here and there.

977
00:57:39,326 --> 00:58:05,826
And don't do a whole lot with social media, to be honest with you. But, you know, I've seen some clips here and there. And the World Cup has been kind of an eye opener for a lot of people because they're coming from all over the world. And, you know, there's these stories. America's dangerous and everyone's fighting and they're they hate each other. And, you know, they get here and they realize that the average human in America is a nice, loving, caring person.

978
00:58:05,826 --> 00:58:08,726
wants to treat you with respect and hospitality.

979
00:58:09,226 --> 00:58:11,026
You are absolutely right, mate.

980
00:58:11,126 --> 00:58:15,886
I've had some texts from some friends in England

981
00:58:15,886 --> 00:58:17,546
who are saying the same.

982
00:58:18,306 --> 00:58:21,266
For some reason, there's a negative slant on America.

983
00:58:23,206 --> 00:58:25,106
I'm so glad the World Cup's here.

984
00:58:25,286 --> 00:58:28,026
Talking of the World Cup, the U.S. are doing great.

985
00:58:29,586 --> 00:58:31,706
They've got through to the final,

986
00:58:31,826 --> 00:58:33,926
what's called the final 16 teams.

987
00:58:33,926 --> 00:58:36,746
I think it's on Monday or Sunday

988
00:58:36,746 --> 00:58:37,746
They're playing Belgium

989
00:58:37,746 --> 00:58:40,026
And

990
00:58:40,026 --> 00:58:42,746
So this is when it gets exciting now

991
00:58:42,746 --> 00:58:44,666
When it gets down to the final 16

992
00:58:44,666 --> 00:58:46,926
So yeah and I tell you what

993
00:58:46,926 --> 00:58:48,406
I've watched every

994
00:58:48,406 --> 00:58:50,106
US game

995
00:58:50,106 --> 00:58:52,366
Obviously every England game

996
00:58:52,366 --> 00:58:55,266
And I'm very impressed with the US

997
00:58:55,266 --> 00:58:56,446
Yeah for

998
00:58:56,446 --> 00:58:58,826
I mean a relatively new thing for us

999
00:58:58,826 --> 00:58:59,926
Oh absolutely

1000
00:58:59,926 --> 00:59:01,286
When I came here

1001
00:59:01,286 --> 00:59:03,426
You know decades ago

1002
00:59:03,426 --> 00:59:05,626
I don't think it was even played in schools

1003
00:59:05,626 --> 00:59:06,146
to be honest

1004
00:59:06,146 --> 00:59:08,946
we had like AYS

1005
00:59:08,946 --> 00:59:10,786
but not like it is now

1006
00:59:10,786 --> 00:59:11,946
right yeah

1007
00:59:11,946 --> 00:59:13,166
it was exploded

1008
00:59:13,166 --> 00:59:15,666
and you didn't have professional matches

1009
00:59:15,666 --> 00:59:16,506
you could go watch

1010
00:59:16,506 --> 00:59:18,886
professional team

1011
00:59:18,886 --> 00:59:21,886
I've seen it really

1012
00:59:21,886 --> 00:59:24,086
move forward in this last 20 years

1013
00:59:24,086 --> 00:59:25,966
and this

1014
00:59:25,966 --> 00:59:27,246
really is now

1015
00:59:27,246 --> 00:59:29,786
going to elevate soccer

1016
00:59:29,786 --> 00:59:30,586
in America

1017
00:59:30,586 --> 00:59:33,586
is the World Cup being staged here.

1018
00:59:33,586 --> 00:59:35,726
And boy, if America can get,

1019
00:59:36,486 --> 00:59:39,186
I just hope they can get as far as they can get.

1020
00:59:39,266 --> 00:59:40,326
That's all I can wish them.

1021
00:59:41,546 --> 00:59:43,326
I don't know what I'm going to do with US,

1022
00:59:43,506 --> 00:59:45,486
if it's England and US in the final.

1023
00:59:45,746 --> 00:59:46,806
I don't know what I'm going to do.

1024
00:59:48,406 --> 00:59:51,666
Well, actually, whoever wins, I'll say good job.

1025
00:59:52,806 --> 00:59:54,246
You know, because, yeah.

1026
00:59:55,426 --> 00:59:58,226
Well, I'm sorry.

1027
00:59:58,486 --> 00:59:58,646
Go ahead.

1028
00:59:58,686 --> 00:59:59,206
No, go ahead.

1029
00:59:59,206 --> 01:00:05,246
no i was going to get back into the the nutrition thing i i was curious if you have any advice for

1030
01:00:05,246 --> 01:00:11,586
autoimmune stuff which is something that's near and dear to my heart and that i'm still trying

1031
01:00:11,586 --> 01:00:17,746
to overcome just despite all the changes with my diet i'm still dealing with an autoimmune thing

1032
01:00:17,746 --> 01:00:22,866
and it's psoriasis but i know it's not really a skin thing it's more like probably a gut thing

1033
01:00:22,866 --> 01:00:27,946
but i was going to say first of all i'm not a doctor so you know this is not medical advice but

1034
01:00:27,946 --> 01:00:32,266
But they do say, yeah, and you mentioned it, gut health.

1035
01:00:32,526 --> 01:00:36,086
Gut health can cause autoimmune disease.

1036
01:00:36,446 --> 01:00:36,766
Right.

1037
01:00:37,046 --> 01:00:41,746
So, again, I don't know what you eat or I don't know your lifestyle.

1038
01:00:42,366 --> 01:00:48,346
But, yeah, I mean, pretty much most of it goes back to overall lifestyle.

1039
01:00:49,486 --> 01:00:50,846
Overall lifestyle.

1040
01:00:52,006 --> 01:00:53,066
Plenty of fiber.

1041
01:00:53,346 --> 01:00:55,126
I mean, I'm sure you eat plenty of fiber.

1042
01:00:55,406 --> 01:00:56,746
I don't know what to say with that one.

1043
01:00:56,746 --> 01:01:01,006
What I would suggest is going to find a functional medical doctor.

1044
01:01:01,646 --> 01:01:02,126
Right.

1045
01:01:02,626 --> 01:01:08,566
Because they will get to the root cause of it by taking, you know, it could be a food.

1046
01:01:09,426 --> 01:01:10,126
Here's the thing.

1047
01:01:10,186 --> 01:01:15,366
I was talking to this functional medical doctor, Dr. Mooberry here in Denver.

1048
01:01:16,966 --> 01:01:23,166
And they do a test and he said, Graham, you'll be shocked how many people we do this test to.

1049
01:01:23,166 --> 01:01:27,406
And it is to see what food allergies you've got.

1050
01:01:28,026 --> 01:01:34,966
Now, these food allergies, they might not be even necessarily showing symptoms.

1051
01:01:35,406 --> 01:01:43,826
And sometimes they are showing symptoms, but it could just be certain foods people are eating that they enjoy eating.

1052
01:01:43,926 --> 01:01:44,646
And they're healthy.

1053
01:01:44,766 --> 01:01:45,566
They're old foods.

1054
01:01:45,626 --> 01:01:46,486
They're real food.

1055
01:01:46,866 --> 01:01:50,546
But they are causing some type of slight dysfunction.

1056
01:01:50,546 --> 01:01:52,906
so if you're dealing with that I would just

1057
01:01:52,906 --> 01:01:55,006
say you know go see a functional

1058
01:01:55,006 --> 01:01:56,926
medical doctor I think

1059
01:01:56,926 --> 01:01:59,046
I mean the thing with that is you know

1060
01:01:59,046 --> 01:02:01,186
insurance don't cover functional medical

1061
01:02:01,186 --> 01:02:03,206
doctors because they make you well

1062
01:02:03,206 --> 01:02:05,146
right

1063
01:02:05,146 --> 01:02:07,306
they rejuvenate your health

1064
01:02:07,306 --> 01:02:09,026
we're not paying to have your health

1065
01:02:09,026 --> 01:02:09,986
rejuvenated

1066
01:02:09,986 --> 01:02:11,666
bizarre

1067
01:02:11,666 --> 01:02:14,226
absolutely bizarre

1068
01:02:14,226 --> 01:02:16,126
we can't pay for that

1069
01:02:16,126 --> 01:02:18,606
we need you to have a recurring

1070
01:02:18,606 --> 01:02:20,586
Yeah, we need to see you every month.

1071
01:02:20,786 --> 01:02:21,886
We need to see you every month.

1072
01:02:21,886 --> 01:02:22,966
It's the subscription service.

1073
01:02:23,346 --> 01:02:24,306
Fucking unbelievable.

1074
01:02:25,246 --> 01:02:26,066
It is.

1075
01:02:26,486 --> 01:02:26,986
It is.

1076
01:02:27,006 --> 01:02:27,646
It's a joke.

1077
01:02:27,766 --> 01:02:29,126
I mean, we're all sat here laughing.

1078
01:02:29,286 --> 01:02:29,906
It's so silly.

1079
01:02:29,982 --> 01:02:35,942
Oh, no, I know. But yeah, but we're all sat here laughing because you can't do anything else but laugh.

1080
01:02:35,942 --> 01:02:42,302
exactly it's it's that feeling of of a little bit of helplessness and hopelessness but it's also

1081
01:02:42,302 --> 01:02:49,542
you know tragedy breeds comedy right you're right it just does so um i think this is probably a good

1082
01:02:49,542 --> 01:02:55,242
place to start wrapping up one of the questions we like to ask our guests is to give a shout out

1083
01:02:55,242 --> 01:03:00,402
to someone that was influential or had a massive impact on their life that could be a sixth grade

1084
01:03:00,402 --> 01:03:06,202
science teacher it could be an author a historical figure it could be mom who'd you like to shout out

1085
01:03:06,202 --> 01:03:14,762
to oh boy i mean that's a tough question for me i mean i've got a lot of mentors now uh i've got a

1086
01:03:14,762 --> 01:03:22,042
lot of mentors now i even have uh you know personal uh mentors like a business coach and a soccer

1087
01:03:22,042 --> 01:03:28,782
coach even at my age because you don't know what you don't know but growing up as a young kid i

1088
01:03:28,782 --> 01:03:45,064
I think I was probably I was a big I was into as a young kid I played rugby because my father was a talent scout and I watched a lot of rugby And I think I was influenced by one of maybe a couple of the rugby players

1089
01:03:46,464 --> 01:03:47,464
Yeah, that's a tough question.

1090
01:03:47,604 --> 01:03:49,284
I'm not sure I can really answer that one.

1091
01:03:49,384 --> 01:03:50,924
I didn't feel growing up.

1092
01:03:50,924 --> 01:03:56,444
Look, for me, growing up was I left school at 16, became an apprentice carpenter

1093
01:03:56,444 --> 01:04:01,144
because that's what you did in the blue-collar town I grew up in.

1094
01:04:01,984 --> 01:04:03,804
And then I started drinking.

1095
01:04:04,984 --> 01:04:10,004
So mine was just working, drinking and partying and chasing women.

1096
01:04:11,424 --> 01:04:12,184
Okay.

1097
01:04:12,564 --> 01:04:13,544
You know, that was...

1098
01:04:13,544 --> 01:04:13,724
All right.

1099
01:04:14,744 --> 01:04:15,884
Something to ponder.

1100
01:04:16,164 --> 01:04:16,964
Yeah, exactly.

1101
01:04:17,424 --> 01:04:19,204
But I've got plenty of mentors now.

1102
01:04:19,444 --> 01:04:23,484
I've got some personal friends who are mentors just because they're, well,

1103
01:04:23,524 --> 01:04:26,944
the multimillionaires and I just feed off of them.

1104
01:04:26,944 --> 01:04:33,264
Like I said, a business coach, a couple of guys I play soccer with.

1105
01:04:33,324 --> 01:04:34,964
They're just incredible soccer players.

1106
01:04:34,984 --> 01:04:38,244
And they're always, you know, giving me little tips and tricks.

1107
01:04:38,244 --> 01:04:38,404
Yeah.

1108
01:04:38,404 --> 01:04:39,444
You might want to try this.

1109
01:04:39,444 --> 01:04:40,384
You might want to try that.

1110
01:04:40,384 --> 01:04:42,004
And it's definitely improved my game.

1111
01:04:42,404 --> 01:04:44,344
So I just look up to people like that.

1112
01:04:45,544 --> 01:04:55,845
Wonderful All right What are you working on What do you got going on Where can people find you So working on is yes is live speaking gigs

There's a lot of information there about the five pillars of health.

1120
01:05:24,885 --> 01:05:28,425
So it's worth visiting just to get some information.

1121
01:05:29,225 --> 01:05:29,865
All right.

1122
01:05:29,945 --> 01:05:31,425
Would you mind holding your book up?

1123
01:05:31,585 --> 01:05:32,065
Yeah, sure.

1124
01:05:32,285 --> 01:05:33,905
We can all see that one more time.

Whole food diet.

Simple strategies for sustainable weight loss, lasting energy, and lifelong health.

1134
