 Welcome to Original Holistic Health Talk. I've been doing this for quite a while. As part of my background, among other things, that I have done with expertise, I am a retired certified personal trainer and nutritional consultant and in 2012 I started the original Holistic Health Talk Facebook group and I've been doing this ever since, promoting natural alternatives to pharmaceuticals, the drugs, and avoiding pharmaceuticals with optimum nutrition, prevention through optimum nutrition. Now I want to introduce my co-host for Original Holistic Health Talk, the one and only Commodore Jeff Zanbello. How are you, sir? Very well. Happy New Year, everybody. This is the last day of 2023, folks. So the quality of your audio and video is outstanding, knock on wood. Let me pipe them up, Commodore. Okay, I want to welcome Commodore and I just want to start by showing one of the many lovely gifts that I received from my brother-in-law. This is probably the best bee product as in beehive, apiary, bee product companies around, okay, YNS eco bee farms, okay, it is pure raw honey unpasteurized straight from the hive so all the live enzymes are there, they're not destroyed through pasteurization and they're not, it is naturally crystallized and it has all the nutrients that is found in this ancient medicine. Raw honey goes back thousands of years and it is really outstanding and I consume at least one to two servings, which is a tablespoon per day. So definitely look up the company YNS bee farms, YS eco bee farms. So this is it, last day of 2023 and how has, are you officially signed up for the vintage strength games event? Well it hasn't been announced yet, it's supposed to be in June. Oh yes, plenty of time. Yeah, I've been trained for it. Oh, I'm sure you are. Wow, there's the horseshoe. Oh let me see the infamous horseshoe that only the Commodore possesses. From the mace. From the mace, now I'm glad you mentioned your horseshoe, which is your triceps. I was doing some studying about people that have sharp pain in their elbows doing tricep exercises and I think the same issue can be applied to other joints with using the tricep as an example. The tendon that connects the tricep to the elbow, okay, what happens is the person's resistance is above and beyond what the tendon can handle. So the tendon becomes inflamed and tendonitis develops and that causes the sharp pain in the elbow because they're either not using proper form or they're using too much resistance. And that's what's causing the pain, you know, people have to be nice to their tendons. Oh you mean they're not swinging a 75 pound mace? Right, right. Now tendonitis definitely happens in the shoulders. Imposed chips in your elbows. Because impingement, certain exercises like are not recommended anymore, like behind the neck presses and pull downs. If you're going to press, do it in front of your body, you know like military press, dumbbells, machine, whatever, don't do it behind the neck and upright rowing is definitely a no-no because when you bring the weight up to your chest level, you're jamming the tendon, the shoulder tendon which causes the tendonitis. So all those years that they've been recommending exercises that are accidents waiting to happen explains in part why the injuries and then you have all of these strength athletes and contact sports professionals getting hip replacement and knee replacement surgery because one of the reasons is they're so obsessed with squatting a very high amounts of weight in the squatting rack and they're so obsessed with powerlifting because they want to look good in a gym, they want everybody to stare at them and they want the girls to look at them, I guess, stare at them squatting several hundred pounds which should not be a training weight and my brother-in-law is an example but there's so many more, he used to squat heavy and he had a hip replacement surgery, one hip, he's lucky it's only one hip but there's so many of these and you a commenter knows there's so many of these athletes that had to undergo this radical surgery. Absolutely, oh they're dead because they overfeed, not over eat, well they over eat but overfeeding is all they eating for performance because you have to for this performance in strength sports but it's at the cost of life longevity because you get life longevity from fasting but if you're going to perform in strength sports you cannot fast so it's a double edged sword do you want to do this or do you want to live to your hundred years old or ninety or a hundred years old? Intermittent fasting is one of the most important systems or techniques or program where everyone are called in life extension and quality of life because the body, if a person, if an athlete eats a very large volume of food every day including lots of protein maybe a lot of meat whatever alright that puts a burden on your digestive system number one it takes a long time for all that animal protein to move through your system now you take that and the fact that they don't give their body a chance to detoxify because the body after digesting that large volume of food the body has to clear out toxins and intermittent fasting is what allows the body to cleanse itself because it will and or recycle the body will recycle substances nutrients that it feels it needs to and it will expel materials that the body doesn't need but intermittent fasting does that it cleans house it's like your car you have the crank case you have the oil and you get oil changes yeah and and and if the oil is really is dirty they'll do a flush yeah nice a purge a purge which is what happens to your body when you do the intermittent fasting but these powerless sounds like a douche like douche it is a it is an overall body douche the liver is like an oil filter and a car and the air filter combined and a fuel filter it's it's the liver plays a role in in in filtering out toxins from your bloodstream mmm and just like the kidneys play a role yeah right in filtration and they work together now this is a healthy liver not what happens when you don't empty your your what happens to your kidneys bad things you get the calcium deposits kidney stones kidney stones and not things and not only that you gotta not not only be nice to your tendons you have to be nice to your kidneys too because too much protein mm-hmm puts a burden with the ammonia the nitrogenous waste your god puts a burden on your kidneys so the body regardless if you're a muscle head or not the body only needs so many grams of protein per day in reality yeah not perception that how heavy it owns clubs hey oh you swing the mace how heavy your mace how heavy how much can imagine who is your orthopedic surgeon right right that's a new Mercedes Benz that's the first thing in their mouth and you know what uh you know I mentioned it many times before the mm a fighter a heavyweight fighter uh uh uh Barnett his last name is Barnett uh what the hell's his first name his last name is Barnett he's he's maybe 275 pounds but you know he's tall he's a big guy but you know he's a naturally big guy and he only uses the 25 pound mace yeah at at his body weight so you know all these people that are saying okay how much do you bench well guess what you could you could get on the bench and you could do strict perfect form bench presses coming down slow like four seconds or maybe more going up two seconds coming down slow and emphasizing the negative part of the movement which builds more muscle than than the lifting and and and you could really concentrate and I bet you get a much better pump than these guys doing a sloppy bench press trying to hoist this heavy barbell up in the air you know and you see a lot of these guys well the bodybuilders that are on steroids they're but they do they do fast sloppy reps like you know you've seen Arnold Schwarzenegger does he follows Joe Weeter you know oy vey oy vey Joe Weeter and he does fast gift it all the medals from mr olympia and meanwhile Mike Mensa was so distraught you could quit and Chris Dickerson and Boyer called they were all pissed off they were pissed off because they knew it was rigged and Joe Weeter Arnold Schwarzenegger was Joe Weeter's boy and and the judges you know I don't have a meal ticket cash cow it's cash cow you know surgery surgery or leave at a Cuban guy he technically blew away Arnold in a couple mr olympias that they that they gave the award to Arnold you know Arnold didn't have the definition you know Sergio Oliva had a small waist and he had a perfect wide v-shaped torso with the lats and he was he was he definitely had Arnold beef but the judges went for Arnold because of Weeter bb bb Joe Weeter okay so um and Joe Weeter uh also fucked over Bob Hoffman of the York barbell company you know uh Hoffman got him started trained him and everything then he did when he went to California he denied any affiliation with Bob Hoffman so uh oh and his nutritional products were absolute garbage it was loaded with sugar and and cheap soy protein yes it makes you um it increases your hormones your to produce estrogen estrogen well the problem is the soy he used was the cheap genetically modified you know engineered soy and not the organic soybean grown the way it's supposed to be grown he he he went he cut corners in order to increase his profits you know all you they and give man boobs like Adam Cohen to all the all the young men who bought his false products right right it was spent all kinds of money i heard even his his exercise equipment was shoddy and and and flimsy and cheap and and the man that owned one of the you know at one time we had mom and pop uh wait uh barbell i mean uh exercise equipment stores and and the one his name was was bill and romeo they owned a wonder barbell in uh bloomfield new jersey they were in business for over 30 years and you know they went under they well for whatever reason maybe they want to retire so anyway bill showed me he says you here come here i'm going to show you something he says look at the look at the waiter products he says look look how cheaply made they are not now look at this the generic products that we have made to our specifications as welded all welded steel you know look at the quality difference this guy is just in for the money and uh yeah and Arnold was his boy and uh people also failed to mention that Arnold used to take he used to swallow uh i think diannable tablets like to a candy you know so Arnold Arnold had that he had the ideal genetics don't get me wrong but he also was heavily on the juice and um when you're on the juice you don't really have to worry so much about perfect form that's why he's sloppy you know because you know juiced up guys you know but that's high volume high high volume the the only growth takes place with the part of the exercise where you're you're close to failure and then you go to failure that that there's two these guys that do four or five sets of whatever 10 10 to 12 8 to 12 reps and 20 reps they're only growing when they're hitting failure when you're there's too much warm up is what what i'm saying is too much warm up uh useless repetitions and sets too much warm up burns a lot of nutrients in your in your in your muscle cells and it's a waste it's it's a waste i mean you could do like what mike mencer he recommends like uh at least a four-day split i'm not no i'm sorry a four-day rest i'm sorry a four to five day rest because the body really needs to recuperate and you do let's say you're doing chest if you want to warm up you can do like a like one warm-up set if you need to but he did one set to absolute failure in perfect form and uh and then you can have your buddy do four reps you know try to go beyond failure you know you could do rest pause which which means you're left for 15 seconds and then you try to bang out another one or two then recover the tissue then there's the recovery period which is everything which is where growth takes place is the stimulus which is when you go into failure in perfect form which a lot of people don't don't think about and then there's the stimulus followed by growth which is the rest period but uh let me just uh say hi here uh masumi from japan thank you masumi good morning it is uh it is probably new it is probably 2024 already in japan it's uh uh they are um because of our stupid day light savings time they are let's see 14 hours ahead i guess it's five six 26 a.m um monday so it is i would say it is probably um i guess yeah i i don't know i don't know is it it is or it is it already new years i'm a little i'm i'm bad with numbers but uh happy new year to you regardless uh from uh the tokyo the chiba prefecture near tokyo to masumi thank you so we got japan saying hi so yeah so be nice to your kidneys be nice to your liver don't make it quiver be nice to your liver and um otherwise you'll end up with a sliver hold on the levity bell you'll end up with a sliver be nice to your tendons tendons liver kidneys be nice to them and they will be nice to you you know unlike these booze hounds you know that don't they don't even realize what they're doing to their to their to their poor livers uh you know the liver is the only organ that can regenerate but not if you destroy it it will regenerate which i wish would happen to all the organs of the body but uh there weren't that you know with stem cell research during their getting there um but what i'm excited about is the fact that they can grow an organ let's say joe blow from idol needs a kidney transplant well they now can grow a kidney for joe blow and he doesn't have to take the anti rejection drugs for that because it's they're using his dna and they're growing is a you know you gotta love science especially when it saves lives and it improves the quality of our lives now with with the android the humanoid robotics uh yeah i mean it can it will do jobs that humans um really don't enjoy doing and it could do dangerous jobs for humans but they are becoming to the point where they can replicate each other they don't need humans they're need their need for humans is decreasing as they're getting more sophisticated and the problem is is two problems number one they will end up replacing uh most jobs and a lot of people will be out of work like construction workers they already have i showed i showed it last night on on on my uh on the show saturday night show they already have robotics working from a truck laying bricks doing masonry much faster than than a whole army of brick layers you know they're banging out houses will buildings will go up faster you know so the bricklay of the construction workers will be out of work everybody will be out of work but you know if if the robots can do everything better they're gonna have to give people a um a monthly uh allowance or like a base a base a monthly base pay or something better they're gonna have to do something you know but uh yeah that's how they and then and then if once they can think for themselves that they might turn against us and that's a that's a big problem you're very welcome assuming so um definitely work exercise smarter not necessarily harder you don't need and prioritize recovery recuperation and restoration especially of connective tissues that include tendons joints and ligaments right which means don't swing heavy and don't lift too heavy you mean ego ego with a mace with a hundred pound fucking mace and what and when you go to war what warrior from three or four thousand or five thousand years ago brought a hundred pound mace to battle the gangers con have a 75 pound steel mace when he when he conquered the world i don't think so the mace you know the thing about the mace leverage is beautiful i'm glad you brought up the the war mace whether it be a war mace or a war hammer all cultures around the world had their own version of a mace or the fence post-moral i mean i mean yeah i mean the the warriors mace okay they all had it all over the world asia europeans even native americans had a a war club made out of wood which was a ball of wood it was it was like a shalei it was a ball of wood at the end of a handle and it was uh they usually use the hardest wood in the forest unlike a certain someone uh um the what the hell is it that veterans name can rose bilge water kinetics or something we want my just name but i don't i don't feel like uh going to have a freaking yeah we we don't want to promote a necessary freaking mace for um what the thing is krakatoa and ubangi yeah yeah yeah yeah uh salvaged wood from the side of harry yeah and they're not they're not the most they're not i guarantee they're not hickory or oak no no otherwise they wouldn't have cracked the way they did and and they wouldn't be it wouldn't be krakatoa and ubangi but anyway um yeah so um now nutrition i had a nice talk with my gastroenterologist and he told me he says one of the most important things you can put in your body is fiber fiber and i told him i use when i make my own cereal my own muesli over and all over whatever you want to call it i use the non genetically modified organic course wheat brand uh company called shiloh farms from the amish country the amish pennsylvania and uh it's the course wheat brand but i want that scraping of my colon walls uh you want the fiber to really cleanse the walls of your colon so you don't get polyps and it's the polyps have to be removed because it's the polyp that turns into colon cancer so and then not only that the probiotics which is the beneficial bacteria in our in our in our gut they call it the microbiome they that's food for them that that's a that i call they call that prebiotic food for the microbiome it's fiber all forms of fiber they feed on that so fiber is extremely important um i use the uh flax uh organic ground flax seed and uh i i i take the organic oats but i put them in a a fine mesh calendar and i always rinse my oats uh with steel steel oats well steel cut oats or irish style oats instead of being rolled they take the the oat grain which they call it a groat it's it's long it's shaped like a rice and they cut it's cut like it or it's it's it's not steam rolled flat it's cut perpendicular okay so you have you have it's like grits it's like oat grits oh yeah okay but the problem is oats are very high in toxic lectins and that's why i rinse the oats very well in a calendar by the kitchen sink i put the sprayer on and i rinse it until the water runs clear now for those of you that are not familiar with lectins certain plants have lectins to prevent animals from eating them so they can perpetuate their species it's it's a it's a um a means of defense in the plant kingdom it's its mother nature and but it's not good for us because if we ingest the lectins it causes really severe inflammation in the body and and can develop into serious illnesses so anything like like beans are high in lectins that's why you have to soak them and rinse them well uh let's see almonds don't eat almonds with the skin on it get the ones get the slivered almonds that are like blanched no skin they're high in lectins peanuts with the skin lower to with lectins um and which probably is responsible for the peanut allergies yeah so if you got the oats rinse them well wait wait for the water to get clear then make your your your cereal because i eat raw organic oats i put the coconut organic coconut sugar i put the almonds i put the the the coarse bran the flaxseed and some cinnamon powder and and organic milk and i let that sit in the refrigerator for for a bit you know soften up everything delicious delicious and very good for you um but um but you know what i used to see these guys walk out at a gym and then immediately light cigarettes if you're gonna if you're gonna talk to talk at least walk to walk you have to live the lifestyle it's not just go into the gym because you want to look great if you look great and you're not great inside if you're if you don't have what doctors what real doctors call home a homeostasis which is when everything is working in synergy balance you have balance and everything's working together perfectly like a well-oiled machine if you don't have homeostasis the most ideal condition for your body and your insides are hurting you know and and but you look good on the outside what's the point you know you got to live the lifestyle you know yeah work out do what you can some exercise is better than no exercise you know um and um and and i i want to say something about the the companies that are that produce steel mace and kettlebells and um and steel clubs and all that i just want to say these devices were meant for circular torque training they're not barbells they're not dumbbells it it is not a replacement lunges and all that other bullshit you do not use a mace or clubs or kettlebell as a replacement or dumbbell or barbell no because they were not meant for that then i might as well use my my my my socks as a cap for winter um whatever yeah just yeah get one of your thermal socks and and have your wife sew a pom pom on the end like like ebony's or schrooge is my dick when i go outside it'll be a cock warmer right exactly well i'll put it i'll put it over my golf clubs yeah yeah the golf club yeah you are six it's ridiculous like if if it's meant sell sell sell sell sell sell sell set up profit profit profit profit push push push you know if if a if a device was meant for swinging and that includes the kettlebell use it for that don't try to you know because you know what happens when they try to make believe the um the mace the clubs and the kettlebell is a barbell what happens is now they have an excuse for people to do seminars and rip everyone off you'll be like james you'll be like me using my violin and floss on my teeth with the violin strings right or doing something ridiculous and having a shake weight seminar which i've never seen oh yeah but we heard all about that would i mention names from jfk airport all the way to southern new england well the um kashi uh thought it was a great idea he laughed he thought it was very funny and he says oh yeah i wish kashi kashi would have would have whipped it out now we're blocked now we're blocked from the feminist page the the one that uh that got so melodramatic because guys were aroused by her videos and you know meanwhile she's sticking her her ass crack up in the air sunny side up both the half moon push ups she's yeah doing half moons or whatever to help and she's got the the spandex yoga pants and the ass crack is is facing the ceiling actually facing the camera getting closer and closer to the camera but don't write any emails with comments i mean with compliments you know well you know you would think that i think in reality these women are are instead of being offended that's that's actually i think when they they act offended i think that they actually love the attention because men are desiring them oh mesmerize now it's a pot pepper she's got all the men a little mice behind the the the pipe pipe but there's a there's like an egyptian themed song with a snake oh i'll do it uh that's how uh slick rick uh hip surprises everybody into giving several hundred dollars oh man so anyway um yeah so use your heads people you know study research you know like my grandfather says you use your head for something besides a hat rack that's good yeah i heard that one before yeah many times i mean there's so many numbskulls out there you know and they and they're naive too oh that seminar looks exciting oh maybe it maybe i should join it like like adina and maybe i should fly 3 000 miles across the country on my husband's uh inheritance loop yeah i'm the husband that never appears on her profile but me while she waxes off from the head with their friggin wooden uh indian clubs because they're the feminists are so arrogant they can't follow somebody else's protocol they have to invent their own like like trying to invent the wheel uh it's it's ridiculous that was the funniest video i've ever seen and it was all sort of stupidest and and the most sexualized uh video i've seen was when this without mentioning this person was in the upside down lotus position you know as a woman who's given birth out of her womb and she's an upside down lotus position middle-aged person with a very wide thigh gap uh that's really appropriate but anyways well if for you folks out there that are wondering what the hell we're especially at 200 and something pounds of body weight yeah if you're if you're wondering what the hell we're talking about but she's not from new jersey no she's not she's from yeah she's back home where she belongs southern california i'm back home and and a little dittily dicky dicky doil eric doil says welcome home welcome back you know um the what the folks if you're wondering what we're talking about this is this is like i was a gynecologist for god's sakes yeah this is the drama that goes on in the in the circular torque training community it's a drama if if you take it seriously and you get sucked into it me and cometer we just mock it because it's i thought i was at cax's deli eating a stringy pastrami sandwich there for god's sakes it's like a middle-aged woman upside down you know um i know for a fact that the polyvons and the uh and including the the people that practice indiakara and india and and iran they this is this is like a bastardization and and abomb abomination abomination to their to the ancient sport and there's no homage paid no the ancient masters no and and and slick rick admitted that he could care less about the history about the great gamma and all of you and about hanuman the hindu god of power remember the great gamma yeah he retired undefeated but there's no homage paid no no no the the only thing he's concerned with how many how many so-called students are going to sign up for his event and then and then he goes down the road and tries to book tries to book uh sell himself to the competition by a violation of the non non-compete clause oh he was pissed the guy in italy that owned jim he was so he was pissed he i think he i think he's personan angrata from going back there he went to the he went to the man's competition and tried to to sell himself it's so funny my god any people they posted that too right in facebook like a theotian guy oh my god how how arrogant yeah how arrogant and selfish that man he got hooked up with the night the beautiful italian 19 year old translator later yeah woman yeah well he did more for this guy and he just like slapped him right in the face and you know what i i bet this this man did a lot of favors for him that owned the gym in italy i bet besides besides the the tour guide and the translator the young lady and you know and being that he's uh an american maybe other favors were offered him wink wink nod nod you know and uh and this is the things he got the guy stabs him in the back and tries to go to his competition jim to to book an event there it's crazy uh is your are your are your bowels percolating because it's almost you got you got a little you got a big fat didn't you hear my fat a little 35 seconds ago oh okay um well without percolating trust me yeah now a little sports talk um the new york Yankees they got one solo but they're lost out on the on the freaking last year in dollars dodges they spent seven million dollars on otani and three hundred and seventy five million dollars on the other japanese player well that's a billion dollars on two on Yamamoto Yamamaro that's a billion dollars on two players and this is this is what that political banner meant they said that the owners always want the taxpayers of the of the major cities to to pay for the the new stadiums that they always want new stadiums right they want the taxpayers to pay for it but they have seven hundred million dollars to to sign uh um otani right to a contract they have the money for otani and this Yamamoto Yamamaro but but you know they always have the money to get the star players but they want the taxpayers to build the yeah hey that's crazy boston is perfectly happy with the wonderful great historic landmark known as fenway park and there's no they have no problem with fenway park or the chicago cubs have wriggly field they have no problem with those stadiums but oh well these other owners want new stadiums all the time the taxpayers have to build their stadium you know you know what if they threaten the leave don't let the door the door hit in the ass hit you in the ass on the way out that's that's insane that's insane you know just pure greed yeah it's well it's it's green but but they use the threat now of the city as a as a a means to sucker the the the the city to to front the money from the stadium it's like it's like extortion oh if you don't yeah if you don't build me a new stadium with your tax dollars i'm gonna move to los angeles i we're gonna move somewhere else i mean up to los vegas yeah it's crazy it's crazy it's like uh i mean fenway was built in 1912 okay fenway is the oldest now there was another stadium that should not have been torn down in uh philadelphia core shy shy park which um later was renamed connie mac stadium and uh the philadelphia athletics at the time okay phil the the athletics originally were in philadelphia and uh and the fillies they were both using a stadium but it's a historic landmark you know it's like what the hell you know it's it's a beautiful thing to preserve history and that and that includes all historic landmarks even if you don't like the fact that it it it represents the confederacy it's still part of history it's still educational for for young students and it's a historic landmark and it should be preserved but oh the people they're so afraid of offending someone these days oh poor that we have to walk on eggshells now you know uh but you know thank god cham bloom is gone from the red socks see that he was the cheapest motherfucker yeah cham bloom i think is the reason why the red socks lost mookie bed save save your bow guards but he didn't want to he didn't want to pay what they what they required yeah and uh and they went elsewhere because cham bloom they didn't want to spend any money right and i think he's the sole reason why the red socks were in last place yeah last year and and and the fans were i'm sure they were livid and uh the owner had no choice but i wish how steinbrenner would wake up and fire brian kashman who is the blame for everything in the past several years and but then again you have to blame how steinbrenner for not being like his father yeah why did oh kashman is like family i would have kicked him right in the ass oh oh man steinbrenner you kidding me kashman wait it would give him 25 cents to take the subway for god's sakes yeah kashman now who who in their right mind signs an older veteran ball player to a long-term contract with uh what sometimes with a no trade clause like john carlo stanton who hasn't really done diddly dick uh really i mean compared to when he was with the miami marlins he uh he's like a one-hit wonder and he doesn't really help but they they saw kashman signs him to the long-term contract with a no trade clause well no trade clause means they could sit with their thumbs up their ass and not be productive and uh and and and and the team is stuck with them that's that that was the dumbest thing ever and that's not to mention the other ones you know just because a person is a veteran ball player and they've done great things in the past well george steinbrenner used to say well what have you done for me lately exactly i don't care what you've done in the past i already care what you're doing now you know and and and during the twilight of their career it's uh it's it's totally illogical it's uh and you know what the fans the fans have to pay a lot of money for a hot dog and a beer at the ballpark and the tickets the tickets are ridiculously expensive all because of the way the game is now you know i mean you're going to pay somebody that kind of money and sign them to a long-term contract you better not be like like 30 30 35 years old you better be freaking in his early 20s and he better be he better have superstar qualities you're going to sign somebody long-term now now now wan soto is a young guy and you know early to mid 20s and uh he has his whole career ahead of him and he's a proven commodity so i can i could see wan soto getting a lucrative long-term contract just like erin judge did now there's another guy who is being trained by erin judge's hitting coach erin judge has a private hitting coach he doesn't use the yankees coaches oh yeah that's good and this this this guy that's in like triple a farm team uh um spencer jones yeah he's like six foot seven he's the same he's the same size as erin judge yeah um except not as heavy erin judge is like 290 pounds but yeah so he and there and he he went with judge's uh hitting coach yeah good for him good for him so and and and judge owes a lot to that hitting coach that he pays privately he calls him his nickname to make money yeah the nickname is the teacher man so he must be he must be really good you know uh uh and uh word of mouth is i bet other players are gonna hire him speaking of word of mouth i don't think that we won't mention the name of the place because i really like it but the place in saddle book i'm sure it's not getting good word of mouth no no because the owner he uh see this is a problem with human nature a person in the food service business becomes very popular and his place is packed with customers and then he starts to rest on his laurels and he and he takes him he takes the customers for granted and then he starts to get greedy and stingy and start cutting corners and thinking that it's not going to bite him in the ass but george steinbrenner is right what have you done for me lately not not what have you done i know steinbrenner says you know he admitted these players are getting paid a hell of a lot of money don't go with the place in saddle book oh that works steinbrenner is correct what have you done lately for me in other words the place was great but then don't rest on your laurels and uh you know yeah yeah and and he and he's shooting himself he shot himself in the foot already and and and if it continues he's going to shoot himself he's going to have a whole new clientele and that's going to be the low paying people and he's sacrificing the quality and he's driving his old customer base he's not even replacing the food like when the when the uh the steel tray is empty yeah i remember that and it's they walk around with a nice new straight full of fish and other things they're all empty they're empty and my sister says we're not coming back here again screw this you know and uh oh the the crow's nest is being is going to be torn down oh they already went bye bye no i wouldn't know instead of the crow's nest i wish that gosh done bj's steakhouse or other health called it would be the you know that crappy place would be torn down i tell you of course the french corporate franchises they'll stay open i despise corporate franchise or corporate chain restaurants i despise them like like the um um you can you can say you could say apple bees you could say whatever you could yeah oi vei legal seafood the berk the berkowitz family yeah the berkowitz family and i bet they get a lot of seafood from the maritime provinces that's why you guys don't have uh don't have a huge uh selection up there exactly maybe maybe smoked herring could you get smoked herring up by you easy easy yeah yeah kippers scotch kippers smoked herring uh what about sardine smoked salmon there's tons of smoked salmon because they have aquaculture in the in the ocean they have all these these lots well i know shellfish is being is being aquaculture um but so isn't salmon well as long as the as long as the waters are coming from the ocean yes it is out in the ocean yeah because uh these ponds are bad news these these these ponds where they do it offshore in the ocean actually yeah it's offshore but the but the seawater is used in in raising the uh atlantic salmon um and um well lake champlain in new york state which is directly west of boston you know if you take the massachusetts turnpike going going west you well it's right it's it's it's directly west of um vermont yes yes it actually i think vermont is borders lake champlain exactly yes it does and that's where the uh the free gift of uh lakeside home to bernie sanders and his wife is located um uh for endorsing hillary clinton but anyway uh lake champlain has landlocked atlantic salmon that are thriving in lake champlain and uh there's also their version of the Loch Ness monster and um they also have photos and eyewitnesses and chesapeake bay in maryland that there's one down there um my my late uncle phil saw it with his own eyes and he ran off the pier he ran as far as he could he saw that the neck was out of the water it was looking right at him and then he it went down and of course like a like a wake he ran he ran you know um but anyway maybe there's some kind of a portal uh who to help knows but anyway yeah atlantic salmon um can um tolerate i don't know about fresh water but brackish water unless lake champlain is getting fed from from uh from somewhere where it's getting some salinity now i'm not sure i go back kebek kebek from the saint laurence river saint laurence river via via the atlantic ocean saint laurence seaway that's right it goes all the way to marchwell kebek from the atlantic ocean that's right that's right and then and then uh the uh the saint laurence river i think might might flow into lake ontario maybe you know where toronto is that's too far west yeah that's very west the uh rochester new york and toronto canate ontario yeah and that's where you're you're electric and then there's the erie river like you know like erie new york erie pennsylvania yeah erie uh lake erie as buffalo new york erie pennsylvania cleveland ohio and and and detroit is between lake yerry and the next lake superior lake it's either that or heron or some one of those but uh they have an upper peninsula they have two different sections of russia uh now your election your illustrious capital ottawa is in province of ontario yep it is the port is kebek oh ottawa is very close to the kebek border yes oh i didn't know that ottawa anyway it's time for you to percolate uh out of the uh office and and right to the gymnasium yeah my second record and uh it is going to be 2024 by

oh i see what having some certain glitches are taking place with the program i don't know why it's happening i hate glitches today i'm going to talk about something that you may have in your kitchen right now but you may not know how amazing it is for your health i'm talking about cloves the small dried flower buds that add a sweet and spicy flavor to many dishes and drinks cloves are not only delicious but they are also packed with nutrients and antioxidants that can help prevent and treat various health problems today we're diving into the incredible world of cloves and their astonishing benefits especially when incorporated into your daily routine after the age of 50 these tiny spice powerhouses have been used for centuries but what happens when you make them a consistent part of your life get ready to be amazed as we uncover the secrets of this aromatic spice and its potential to transform your health and well-being but before we unveil the magic of two cloves a day make sure you hit that subscribe button and ring the notification bell so you never miss out on our exploration of natural remedies and holistic health tips now let's jump right in and discover in and discover the phenomenal effects of this simple yet potent spice that could be a game changer for your post 50 health journey whether you're a season wellness warrior or just starting to explore the natural remedies this video is packed with information that could revolutionize the way you approach your health so grab a cup of tea sit back and let's unravel the mysteries of what happens when you take two cloves every day after 50 your body will thank you number one improve your digestion one of the benefits of eating cloves is that they can improve your digestion and prevent common digestive problems like bloating gas nausea and constipation cloves contain compounds called eugenol and isogenol which have anti inflammatory and anti spasmodic effects on the digestive tract they can also stimulate the production of digestive enzymes and saliva which help break down food and absorb nutrients cloves can also kill harmful bacteria and fungi in the gut which can cause infections and inflammation to use cloves for digestion you can chew on a whole clove after a meal or make a tea by boiling a few cloves and water and adding some honey or lemon you can also add ground cloves to your soups stews curries or baked goods for a warm and aromatic flavor number two boost your immunity another benefit of eating cloves is that they can boost your immune system and help you fight off infections and diseases cloves are rich in antioxidants which are substances that protect yourselves from damage caused by free radicals free radicals are unstable molecules that can cause oxidative stress which can lead to chronic diseases like cancer diabetes and heart disease antioxidants can also help reduce inflammation which is a common cause of many health problems cloves are particularly high in a compound called eugenol which makes up between 70 percent to 90 percent of clove essential oil eugenol has been shown to have potent anti inflammatory anti cancer antioxidant and pain relieving properties cloves also contain vitamin c which is essential for the production of white blood cells the main defenders of your immune system vitamin c can also help prevent and treat colds flu respiratory infections cloves also have antimicrobial properties which means they can kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria viruses and fungi that can cause infections for example cloves have been found to be effective against the coli staphylococcus aureus and candida albicans which are common causes of food poisoning skin infections and yeast infections to use cloves for immunity you can add a few drops of clove essential oil to a diffuser or a humidifier or inhale the steam from a pot of boiling water with some cloves you can also garble with clove tea or clove oil diluted in water to soothe or throat or prevent oral infections you can also add ground cloves to your smoothies juices or salads for a boost of vitamin c and antioxidants number three regulate your blood sugar my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis the a third benefit of eating cloves is that they can help regulate your blood sugar levels and prevent or manage diabetes cloves contain a compound called nigericin which has been found to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake in muscle cells insulin is a hormone that helps your cells use glucose or sugar for energy when your cells become insensitive to insulin or when your body does not produce enough insulin glucose builds up in your blood leading to high blood sugar levels this can cause symptoms like fatigue thirst hunger and frequent urination and increase your risk of complications like nerve damage kidney damage and eye problems nigericin can also help lower blood sugar levels by inhibiting the enzymes that break down carbohydrates into glucose and by stimulating the secretion of insulin from the pancreas to use cloves for blood sugar you can take a clove capsule or a clove extract supplement before a meal or sprinkle some ground cloves on your oatmeal yogurt or fruit you can also drink clove tea or water infused with cloves throughout the day to keep your blood sugar levels stable number four improve your memory eating cloves may improve memory according to some sources cloves contain compounds that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects which may help protect the brain from oxidative stress and inflammation oxidative stress and inflammation are linked to cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's cloves also contain manganese which is an essential mineral for maintaining brain function and building strong bones manganese is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters which are chemical messengers that carry signals between brain cells neurotransmitters are important for learning memory mood and behavior some studies have suggested that cloves may have beneficial effects on cognition such as enhancing memory and mental fatigue for example one study found that chewing two cloves before bedtime improved sleep quality and cognitive performance in healthy adults another study found that clove extract improved memory and learning in mice with Alzheimer's disease however more research is needed to confirm the effects of cloves on human memory and brain health to use cloves for memory you can chew on a whole clove drink clove tea or take a clove supplement you can also add ground cloves to your food or beverages for a sweet and spicy flavor however be careful not to consume too much cloves as they can cause side effects such as nausea vomiting diarrhea and bleeding cloves may also interact with some medications such as blood thinners so consult your doctor before using them if you have any medical conditions or allergies number five protect the liver the liver is one of the most important organs in the body as it performs many vital functions such as filtering the blood producing bile metabolizing drugs and toxins storing glycogen and vitamins and synthesizing proteins and hormones however the liver can also be damaged by various factors such as alcohol drugs viruses bacteria parasites obesity diabetes and autoimmune disease liver damage can lead to inflammation scarring cirrhosis and liver failure which can cause serious health problems and even death cloves can help protect the liver from damage and improve its function by preventing oxidative stress and inflammation in the liver oxidative stress is is a condition where the production of free radicals exceeds the capacity of the antioxidant defense system resulting in cellular damage inflammation is a response of the immune system to injury or infection which can also cause tissue damage and dysfunction close contained compounds called eugenol and isogenol which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on the liver eugenol and isogenol can scavenge free radicals reduce the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and modulate the activity of enzymes and genes that are involved in liver inflammation and fibrosis cloves can also help detoxify the liver by increasing the levels of glutathione a powerful antioxidant that helps eliminate toxins from the body glutathione is essential for the phase two detoxification pathway which involves the conjugation of toxins with glutathione making them more soluble and easier to excrete to use cloves for liver health you can take a clove capsule or a clove extract supplement or drink clove tea or water infused with cloves you can also add ground cloves to your food or beverages for a sweet and spicy flavor however be careful not to consume too much cloves as they can cause side effects such as nausea vomiting diarrhea and bleeding cloves may also interact with some medications such as blood thinners so consult your doctor before using them if you have any medical conditions or allergies solgar cellular energy contains nitrogen nicotinamide riboside helping unlock the energy within your cells so as you can see cloves are more than just a spice they are a powerful natural remedy that can help you improve your health and well being especially if you are over 50 cloves can help you with digestion immunity blood sugar liver health and more they are easy to use and have a pleasant taste and aroma you can use them whole ground or as an oil or extract you can also find them in supplements capsules or mouth washes just remember to use them in moderation and consult your doctor before using them if you have any medical conditions or allergies i hope you enjoyed this video and learned something new if you did please give it a thumbs up and share it with your friends and family there you have okay let me see um okay maybe i'll do one or one or two more i'll do one or two more oh now it's working now the avatars are working what are you gonna do i don't know why it didn't work before but just want to tell everyone we are streaming live on youtube and twitter which is now called x um so welcome everyone this is the last day and my last show excuse me the last day of my last show of uh the year 2023 it is new year's eve so i want to wish everyone a much better new year than the year before let's let's hope and pray all right this isn't this one is pretty important so i'm just trying to prioritize the um the topics today it gives me great pleasure to talk to you about calcium this has been a point of interest since i was a fellow because we all know that calcium seems to be what's plugging up the arteries so i have an interesting calcium and with it vitamin k2 so what is vitamin k2 it's a vitamin that's unheard of k1 maybe but k2 so today i'm going to teach you about calcium and vitamin k2 and why i'm so interested in it because i think that this is a very important chapter you know understanding of what's causing blockages in the artery so let's just dive right into it so you know as a fellow i noticed that heart disease blockages in the artery seems to go along with diabetes right high blood pressure uh degenerative joint disease these patients have arthritis um many of them are very overweight bad teeth bad teeth bad gums and dental decays seems to go along with coronary arteries and i always wondered why is this the case there's something going on with the bones and they all have osteoporosis so why do coronary patients go along with osteoporosis they come to me because they get hip replacements they get knee replacements and i often wonder what's that got to do with heart disease why is it that heart patients are getting joint disease or vice versa patients with bad bones and osteoporosis i'm 65 and i don't look like myself anymore do i need a facelift well listen as we they're getting coronary artery disease as i start doing the research i started reading about calcium and i started noticing that because of the bad bones and osteopenia everyone was on calcium supplements and then the studies started coming out that the calcium supplements that you take for your bones and and for general health are actually increasing mortality so there's numerous studies that show that if you take more than one gram of calcium supplement on a daily basis increases cardiovascular respect 20 percent now if i had a drug that reduces your cardiovascular risk by 20 percent i would i would definitely give it to you but here i have a calcium supplement that increases your risk by 20 but nobody's talking about this this really got my interest that why is it that calcium increases the risk so we looked into it the women's health initiative study was a huge study and it showed that one gram of calcium elemental calcium supplementation increased mortality between 15 and 22 percent increase your mortality taking a calcium supplement and this was with or without vitamin D supplementation and we found that in renal failure patients they were constantly given calcium supplements as well their risk increased by 22 percent just by taking calcium every day and yet they were thought that they're taking calcium because they don't want to get bone disease they want nice strong teeth they want to have strong joints and hips but no so what is it about calcium supplementation one of the things we thought that it may increase clotting because if you want a blood sample to clot what do you do you put some calcium in it right and it clots another thing that it can do is cause high blood pressure so we know the higher the calcium levels it can cause high blood pressure but these patients were not having high blood pressure even though they were taking the calcium supplements so we were not sure calcium supplements do this so now my recommendation to everyone is do not take calcium supplements unless there's a good reason to do so speak to your physician about it but just don't take calcium because calcium supplements are available over the over the counter so there's something else that's got to do with calcium metabolism and today i'm going to tell you that the answer is probably vitamin k2 so what is vitamin k2 vitamin k2 is a fat soluble okay it's a fat soluble vitamin that means you cannot absorb it into your body unless there's some fats available and vitamin k2 assume for now that it's got something to do with good bone metabolism okay that you need vitamin vitamin k2 for strong bones so what's going to happen if you take vitamin k2 away from your body is you're going to get bone disease why would you get rid of vitamin k2 why do you have vitamin k2 deficiency why would i even think anyone's got vitamin k2 deficiency and i'm going to teach you today that you get vitamin k2 deficiency because of the lifestyle changes we've made because it's a fat soluble and now we're on a low fat diet for the past 40 years we've had this experiment and i'm sure you've all looked at my youtube that clearly shows you that this thing about the low fat diet is not very good advice because with it came vitamin a d e and k deficiencies with these vitamins you just need smaller months in your bloodstream to have a tremendous effect and when we go on these odd diets such as all these low fat diets you're not going to absorb those vitamins and that's exactly what we've been finding so let me tell you a little bit more about vitamin k and how how this all fits in together so in your bone for example you have two types of cells the osteoclast and your osteoblasts the osteoblasts they build up bone that means they take calcium from the bloodstream push it into the bone so you get nice strong bones osteoclasts they destroy the bone okay so they destroy the bone they demoralize the bone they take the calcium out so the way it works is that you need osteocalcin to bind the calcium but to activate the osteocalcin you need vitamin k2 so if you do not have vitamin k2 in your body you're not going to get carboxylation of these chemicals called osteocalcin and this in the tissues the counterpart of that is called matrix gla protein so this protein has to be activated by two things vitamin d and vitamin k2 now in the tissues this chemical does a different thing it takes calcium binds to it and moves it into the bloodstream out of the tissues so in the bone it causes deposition of calcium but in the tissues it pulls calcium out of the tissues takes it into the bloodstream so that it can then head on off to the bones so these matrix gla proteins what are they doing in the tissues and where they're being produced they're produced by the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels so blood vessels they have smooth muscle cells that's where they can vasodilate and vasoconstrict they make this protein this protein has to be activated by vitamin k2 when it's activated it'll bind calcium and move it out of the blood vessel when vitamin k2 is not there there's nothing to take the calcium out of the blood vessel when the vitamin k2 is not there for the bone the bone will not be able to mineralize because that particular protein in the bone binds to hydroxyapatite and then the calcium gets trapped in the bone so you would expect the vitamin k2 deficiency is going to cause calcification in the tissues the blood vessels and causes demilization of bones so it causes osteopenia and that's exactly what we've been seeing you get more degenerative joint disease more osteopenia and more calcification where you shouldn't find calcification blood vessels should not be becoming ossified so what's happening is that the total body calcium is actually pretty good but it's all in the wrong places and calcium supplementation doesn't help because calcium supplement they just don't end up going to the bone you need chemicals you need hormones you need enzymes and cofactors to put it in the bones so vitamin k2 deficiency this seems to be a very strong link and there's two types of vitamin k vitamin k1 and k2 so k1 has to do with coagulation that's why we missed this for a long time because we thought vitamin k is vitamin k actually did you know that there's 10 types of vitamin k is one all the way to 10 but the important ones are vitamin k1 and vitamin k2 so k1 has to do with coagulation and if you want to antagonize that you take kumitin so it's a blood thinner how does it work it antagonizes vitamin k1 what about k2 well if you take kumitin you antagonize k2 also so does that mean that when you're giving kumitin or blood thinner long term to a patient is that patient going to have vitamin k2 deficiency also because you're antagonizing it and then says yes and i've known personally for 30 years that patients who are on kumitin they get calcification of the arteries they get calcification of the aorta they get calcification of the valve they get calcification of the coronary artery okay i find what foods my metabolism and it's not crazy workout or fat diets the real secret so we knew that years ago they took us 30 years to piece all this puzzle together and now we know that kumitin patients have a problem because they have not only a low vitamin k1 which you want because they don't want their blood to clot but you also have vitamin k2 deficiency so where does k1 come from k1 comes mostly from chloroplasts so anything green leafy vegetables algae that's where vitamin k1 comes from so where does vitamin k2 come from now there are two sources of vitamin k2 one is animal sources and the other one is my favorite fermented products see it's all coming together why why why i've been encouraging fermented products so let's look at vitamin k2 also known as uh menachinone any one one is called mk4 and the one that comes from from the fermented products is called mk7 mk7 is a longer molecule it is biologically more active as well it is found in some meats some eggs dairy and fermented products so vitamin k2 why would vitamin k2 deficiency happen if people are eating lots of meat eggs chicken because the quality of the meat is also going down if your animal was not eating green chloroplasts green natural grass foods that meat is not going to have enough vitamin k2 also the eggs eggs are supposed to have a lot of vitamin k2 but today's eggs are all fed grains and grains don't have vitamin k2 vitamin k2 has to come from the original product which means nature nature has to provide it first so when it goes through the cycles of the animals that's when vitamin k2 levels go up fermented foods make vitamin k2 the fermentation products make vitamin k2 so vitamin k2 gets into the body it activates all the mgps and in the bones you're going to get strong bones and in the blood vessels you're going to get inhibition of calcification so now can we measure vitamin k2 if this is so good then why can't i just go ahead and get a vitamin k2 level what can we just do it because there's no method to do it so what we look is non-carboxylated proteins and that's a test you can do but it's not available right now it's only being used in research purposes and that's how we get all this information together there was a huge study done and i you can see the references i'll show them to you that we correlated the non-carboxylated proteins which tells vitamin k2 deficiency and correlated to the amount of calcification in the arteries and there's a direct correlation the more non-carboxylated mgla proteins that they are more the calcification in these arteries are so this started really making us think that my god we do have a problem here so then they did another study in in europe it was called the rottendam study and in the rottendam study they took patients males and females over the age of 55 thousands of them and they looked at the vitamin k2 intake and they listed the vitamin k2 intake that each patient had and then looked at outcomes over the next eight years and they found that aortic calcification coronary artery disease but also all cause mortality would directly related to the vitamin k2 intake more vitamin k2 lower the mortality less coronary artery disease now you may argue that oh well maybe it's the food rather than the k2 itself and that's a possibility but at least we're beginning to see a correlation over here in the studies found that if you consume more than 32 micrograms of vitamin k2 a day in your diet there's a 50 percent reduction in cardiovascular death now you've got my attention as a cardiologist and a 25 percent decrease in all cause mortality why is all cause mortality also important that means it's not just decreasing heart attacks it's also decreasing other things too other causes of mortality which may include some cancers and the R study showing that vitamin k2 supplementation reduces certain types of cancers and I'll come to that if we get a chance here if you like this video then this one I strongly recommended for you if you want to see the whole series please click here hi frank george here this is the EMS foot massager EMS is electrical muscle stimulation so we're going to get started right away because we have a huge subject to talk about and today I'm going to talk about the microbiome and the trouble is that most of us don't even know that we have a microbiome do you have a microbiome of course you do how many cells are there in your body right now how many cells are there take a guess 10 trillion right 10 trillion cells how many bacteria are there in your body right now right now as we speak 100 trillion so you are made up more bacteria than you are of human cells except that your bacteria are a little tiny but there's more now imagine that each bacteria has a genome as well a DNA so now they have genes so let me ask you how many genes do you have you're a human being not 21,000 oh I mean right I mean sorry 2000 it's nothing very few genes in fact the fly has more genes than you have no no that's a fact the worms have more genes than you have how many genes are there if you take all your bacteria in your gut and put them together take a guess about 4 million so the question is why did you ever ask yourself why the bacteria are there how did they even get there when you're born you don't have bacteria inside your gut you're born pretty much there aren't you but all those bacteria get over there why do they go over there oh it's a final nice place to go live in right nature does not make any mistakes nature always has an ultimate reason why it does everything if it put so many trillion bacteria inside you and you're alive and you're not yet dead there's a reason for it but we never asked ourselves what the reason for these bacteria in our gutters and I'm going to tell you that since you all are all a lot of businessmen I see around you yeah part of the reason is outsourcing you have outsourced a lot of your physiology to your bacteria and you just don't know it but that's exactly what happened because the bacteria came here millions of years before you did so when you the human being came into development and into evolution the bacteria were already there so now they were already doing what they're doing and all we did is we actually hacked on to their physiology broke them into ourselves and said you're going to do this x y z I'm only going to do this and that's a fact how do I know that's a fact because without the bacteria you wouldn't be alive you can't function right now so we do have rat studies we have human studies also in rat studies in rat studies that are born completely sterile there's no bacteria in their gut they develop completely abnormal they don't socialize the brain development is not normal their lifespan is also short moment you introduce the bacteria back into the gut suddenly they start behaving like rats and mice the question is why because they're doing something what are they doing they're producing substances what are they producing they're producing chemicals what chemicals are they producing tons of them you think that most of this stuff oh yeah I'm so healthy look at me I'm a specimen of health right you think you swallowed all those chemicals in your food no the bacteria made a lot of the metabolites that are actually in your gut they make it they release it into your gut and it helps you in your physiology it helps your hormones it's a great connection to the brain as well which I'll explain to you this is a very short this is just a tickle lecture this lecture actually should be about four hours long longer than a maha katha you know it's a very long lecture but this is going to be the first of the multiple lectures but the idea here I want you to all take home is that you're a symbiotic relationship and this symbiotic relationship needs to be nurtured they're living inside you they're living there and they're doing things for you and you should be doing things for them the trouble is they're doing things for you you're not doing things for them and it started right from the beginning because if you get a C-section you're not going to get your maternal bacteria that is going to go from the from the delivery tract from the from the vaginal outflow you're not going to get those bacteria you may get the doctors or the nurses bacteria that's going to colonize you the incidence of C-sections has gone up and that's also been related to a lot of the chronic diseases and the disorders that we are finding that's going on right now so it starts right from the beginning and I can tell you so much about the changes that happen in the bacterial flora within the delivery canal to the mother in the changes they change throughout the entire gestational period also right up to the week before delivery and why why because it wants to deliver the right bacteria to the baby and there again the ingestion by the baby from maternal milk also changes antibiotics I mean the the antigens also delivered through the milk to the baby changes everything changes milk contains a lot of oligosaccharides we can't digest them as human beings so why is mother's milk 30% chock block of those chemicals why is for the bacteria the bacteria will be able to eat those chemicals and grow over there and it will attract the right bacteria in the gut of the baby so I'm just giving you a little tickling of it everything is designed by nature to increase the biodiversity of the bacteria in your intestines why because it's you are your whole physiology is deeply deeply linked to it so what's my interest in I'm a cardiologist what am I worried about a GI I've got gastroenteritis all over town what am I doing doing all those GI stuff and bugs in the gut so what well I strongly believe and the evidence is pointing towards it that these chronic non-communicable diseases coronary artery disease hypertension diabetes obesity autism depression Parkinsonism are all related to an imbalance that we have created in our immune system as a result of the changes in our gut microbiota bacteria look we're not dying of typhoid or TB anymore but we're dying of a immune problem where our immune system is overactive look what is COVID COVID is an overactive immune system cytokines storm occurs why why are we reacting so much why are we so inflamed why do we have we have so much inflammation in our irritable coron syndrome obesity depression these are all inflammatory conditions ulcerative colitis Crohn's disease hypertension better by so why are we so inflamed is because there's nothing in our system there to slow it down our immune system needs to be softened so wait a second so if our immune system needs to soften what would make it soften answer gut bacteria how the gut bacteria communicate to our immune system and they tell our immune system I'm your friend I'm not your foe so they there is a direct cross talk between the bacteria in your gut and the immune cells in your gut 70% of the immune cells are in your gut why because that's the real border crossing that's why all the immune cells are there they talk to those immune cells and they say I'm friend don't don't fight me this guy yeah he's a bad guy this guy's a good friend these are called t-rex cells t regulatory cells regular I can talk about this for about one hour just on t-rex cells alone the t-rex cells send signals to all the other cells in the body do not overreact calm down slow down so now when you do get a breach or some bacteria getting into your blood you don't get that cytokine storm because your immune system has learned not to react with a with a bazooka all it needs is a small little hammer the immune response is much less so there is a definite change in the immune response in our body that is created by the bacteria in the gut and these studies have been done in rats mice now we are seeing it in human beings also clearly because in rats it's very easy to do that you introduce the bacteria you take them out you reintroduce them you can see what's happening to the body so what's that got to do with coronary artery disease so I'm going to tell you what happens with coronary artery disease we thought it was all cholesterol and you've all heard my lectures and I keep telling you all it's not all about the cholesterol right it's about the sugar okay and it's about carbohydrates but now I'm introducing another part part two to the story sugar is in the upper part of your intestines what happens in the lower part is all about bacteria so our diets our sugars our concentrated foods that we eat all this processed foods all this defined products all that garbage that we put down with colorings and and preservatives all affect the upper part which is your home model and you all saw my lectures on how it affects your insulin and makes you very sick because of insulin and now I'm going to tell you all that affects the lower part as well how through your bacteria because processed foods have what they've got all that garbage in it okay but what does it not have it doesn't have fiber what's they got to do with gut bugs it's not everything to do with gut bugs because the gut bugs only eat fiber so what we've done is we're eating this food full of preservatives full of sugar processed pulverized made into something else absorbed very quickly causes that huge insulin rise in your body which you all know about and I've talked to you all about that but it's all over the game's over halfway through by the time that food goes to your colon there's nothing left for your bacteria you've all starved your bacteria and that's why we all get sick the bacteria when they can't eat fiber because you don't introduce fiber will start eating what they start eating you they start eating the mucous the mucin the mucin is the layer that protects the inside from you it's a thick layer of mucous and with that mucous is gone guess what the bacteria and the bacterial products can get into your body because you have lack of mucin that thick layer and that thick layer is produced by who the bacteria the bacteria induces changes in your intestinal lining to get all that mucous that's your barrier because ultimately the bacteria wants to preserve its environment see nature doesn't fool around it's very smart it wants to preserve its status quo so because you deprived your gut of the bacteria now you're going to have two problems one is there's no may not be enough bacteria but number two you also don't have the right diversity of bacteria so it's not just about the bacteria and feeding them the fiber you want the right biodiversity of bacteria because how many species of bacteria are there in your gut there's about two thousand species and we know that some are good and some are bad the formicutes for example are a bad the bacteroids are better okay and we know that acumencia produces a lot of fiber right so we know these things we want the right bacteria to be there the right population growth and i'm saying to you all that you are the trouble you all are the problem because you have deprived your gut or and your bacteria of the fiber you when you eat you're eating selfishly you are all eating selfishly instead of eating selflessly where you say this is for me this is for my bacteria see you should be eating whole foods where half of it is going down to your core on for the back you can digest fiber can you digest fiber can you digest fiber you don't you don't have the hormones you don't have the enzymes nothing so who's going to eat the fiber and yet nature gave you all this food that's full of fiber you eat a whole fruit you eat a whole grain whole grain with the fiber not where the pulp is taken out of it into a white powder and now you have manda powder and now you have this manda and you're making this beautiful white property white bread you want to kill yourself and kill the bacteria with it at the same time because all that's going to do is increase your insulin levels and you're not going to have any good growth of bacteria in your gut so processing foods does two things it introduces a bunch of garbage into it all those chemicals and preservatives that you read about on the label which you can't even pronounce can you pronounce half the names you can't but why are you eating it then so that's one thing they introduce all the garbage number two they take out all the fiber that's the biggest difference between processed foods and non-processed foods is the fiber the closer it is to nature the better and healthier it is so you see i used to go to these places and they used to say okay these patients i give them these jeri boot teas and this fiber and i mean listen how can that work i'm a doctor no it works because it changes a bacterial flora and then the world's greatest pharmacological agents go to work for you the bacteria it's amazing it's amazing so what what kind of uh chemistry do we know about we know a lot actually i told you it's going to take hours to talk about short chain fatty acids short chain fatty acids are produced by the bacteria in the gut what's so good about them they stimulate the mucus the mucosa to produce mucin you got protection they get absorbed into the bloodstream they tame the t-rex cells hey put your bazookas away you don't need to fight a war here come down they also get they actually travel up your vagus nerve all the way to your brain did you know that metabolites from your bacteria include neuro neurotransmitters that go all the way to your brain oh look you should know this you eat certain foods you feel lousy you eat certain foods you feel sleepy you eat certain foods you get depressed how does that all happen just magic there's a direct connection between the brain and the gut also it's called the gut brain access there's a bi-directional talk between the vagus nerve the vagus nerve connects the brain to the gut you have to know this therefore these chemicals are going up to your brain today's definition of depression is it's an inflammatory condition depression is nothing but inflammation in your brain and where did it come from oh yeah i just happened naturally no you will become depressed if there's inflammation in your gut there's absolutely no doubt about it and you fix that inflammation in your gut and your depression will be gone not only that in kids autism and autism disorders numerous studies done you change the diet the kids behavior starts getting better in fact you should know that yourself or your own kids you fit them better they start behaving better it says that we have to figure out the pathways by which this is actually happening the blood brain barrier is one method by which inflammatory molecules can get into the into the brain we thought it was completely impervious it's not the vagus nerve is not a direct pathway to get into your brain so there are two pathways by these chemicals do get inside and lots and lots of literature to show you for that so this is really really important so depression parkinson's come on you guys know so many people who have degenerative diseases you know i have movement disorder i have parkinsonism all these conditions are just due to inflammation in the brain why did it all get the inflammation the dendritic cells in the brain the the astrocytes the the glial cells these are inflammatory cells and they get inflamed and there of course they deposit the beta cell the beta proteins into the brain and it's oh he's got Alzheimer's well god did not invent Alzheimer's just like that nature did not invent that we invented it through our bad physiology because of the changes that we've created in the way we live obviously bacteria just one part of it but today we're talking about the bacteria in here there's a lot of other things that also do it but we need to stop becoming more responsible for what we're doing to ourselves and our body in this in this modern living that we do these days so these gut bacteria my i'm going to introduce to you now the cardiac part of it there's a growing body of evidence that the bacterial products from your gut get into the bloodstream and in the bloodstream then then they go to the liver because all the blood drains to the liver and it is the number one cause of fatty liver i'm telling you right now because not all of you are alcoholics but i can tell you that at least 25 percent of you have fatty liver and then if you go and see a doctor they'll say i don't know why you got a fatty liver you don't drink alcohol then why do you have a fatty liver oh you don't have appetite to see why do you have a fatty liver in my office for the last five years i've seen that every patient with a fatty liver has metabolic syndrome and fatty liver is directly correlated to coronary artery disease inflammation the other cause of fat liver is of course what i already taught you all about which is your insulin levels right if your insulin level is high then all carbs get converted into fat in the liver it's called denovolipogenesis and you get a fatty liver but what we don't realize that if you don't have hyperinsulinemia fatty liver is due to what i call metabolic endotoxinia metabolic endotoxinia that means toxicity in the blood where is because things that shouldn't be getting into your bloodstream get into your bloodstream and cause toxicity and like that's it and when i change the diet and i put them on my diet and i do intermittent fasting time to see the feeding and get rid of all processed foods and increase the fiber intake and give them fiber supplements or as well all of a sudden fatty liver they come back a year later it does take about a six months to a year fatty liver gone or at least markedly improved and fatty liver is now you know known to also be a precursor to what is known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and can lead to Nash and can lead to liver failure and then liver transplants so why are we all getting fatty livers so anyway so this endotoxemia is caused by the shells of the bacteria which is called lipopolysaccharides the lipopolysaccharides get into the bloodstream now in your bloodstream they can't just float around because these are terrorists right they can't float around they're the bad stuff they're bacterial products so the LDL molecule grabs it it displaces a cholesterol because it doesn't have room on it right it's a ship it's a ship it's carrying cholesterol that's what lipoproteins are LDL it tosses off a cholesterol hops on the LPS and now it became a small dense LDL got it so LDL doesn't cause coronary artery disease it's small dense LDL and small dense LDL is created by metabolic endotoxemia which is lipopolysaccharides getting into the bloodstream now this LDL particle which has a terrorist sitting in it is floating around and causes an immune reaction around the body it gets oxidized the endothelium sees it it's got receptors for it binds to it macropages come along monocytes come along and they attach themselves to it they start grabbing it they engulf the LDL particles and they become foam cells that's why when you look at plaque you see fact in it well of course the fact is liberated there because the LDL is there but LDL just came along as a byproduct because it had grabbed the lipopolysaccharide it's like it didn't cause the problem in the plaque it carried the lipopolysaccharide it carried a molecule that made it into a small dense LDL a different kind of LDL so I just saw a patient this afternoon for example they had an LDL of 280 I didn't put the patient on a statin because it was all large fluffy particles there's no small LDL so you don't need to be on a statin you need smaller so when I do a lipid panel I'm looking for inflammation and how do I know there's inflammation going on in this patient he's got small dense LDL try high HDL is also running low and they have small dense LDL particles so that's how plaque formation occurs that is why you know we've taken patients and given them a high fiber diet we've changed the diet we put them on this diet blood pressure go down sugars get better cornea to disease stops we never figured out the mechanisms of how this is happening how how does it happen when I was a fellow we used to say oh yeah you know fiber is really good for you but nobody really knew why they all thought fiber is good for you so you have big poop ah so what you have big poop you're gonna live longer no well your longevity is related to your poop size no it's to do with the bacteria and the more bacteria of course most of the weight more than 50 percent of the weight of your poop is actually bacteria so if you're not having a big bowel movement yeah you have a problem but for a different reason not because you're not having big poop is because you're not having enough bacteria in your gut so all of us who've come from abroad for example our waters were different our environments were different our bacterial exposures were different when we were growing up I saw a guy today from Poland he came here he says I only read 130 pounds when I came here now I then I went up to 190 within a matter of two years so I said what you became a glutton you started eating a whole pig at a time he said no I didn't how's this normal how's this eating normal kind of foods his bacteria changed completely his metabolism of course he ate some processed foods at the same time and he didn't feed the right bacteria he's over it he became completely metabolic right so I told him that you need to start eating ancestral foods how about us how about you how about you so you come here as I'm now sophisticated you know I only eat you know you know processed food now American food yeah you can do that you can do that and see what your bacteria think of it so going back to ancestral foods is so important for us and ancestral food doesn't mean busu and chevro and gathia and and all that stuff that's not ancestral food 2136 percent that's how much Tesla stock has returned over the last 10 years and while most Americans believe that all of the best Tesla returns have come and gone Wall Street because that's all processed food that's all processed food right and vegetable seed oils I already told you all about vegetable seed oils and I told you how bad vegetable seed oils are but one of the biggest reasons of vegetable seed oils the jay cotton seed oil soy oil and all those oils are what it does to your bacteria it destroys the health of the biodiversity of your bacteria as well what's the oil you're supposed to eat it's just simple ghee and coconut oil that's it that's it that's what you're supposed to be consuming but we go for these vegetable seed oils is it so now omega six is so high even the meat that we eat for example is full of omega six omega six because the cows are supposed to eat grass instead you give them corn and you give them soy so now they become metabolic so the cow is sick he's an obese cow that's got metabolic syndrome so while he's obese slaughter him you get more money for the for the weight and you make more money so we create sick animals and then we eat them and then we expect to be healthy as well so anyway that's just digression right there so you know the other thing is antibiotics so they discovered in the 19 or 30s or 40s that if you take some antibiotic and just give a small dose of antibiotic to the animals all of a sudden they gain a lot of weight now gaining weight is good for their business is it good for you no it's not it's not good for you right because those that antibiotic that they're giving the animals creates metabolic syndrome in them because it changes their bioflora in their gut and so you're creating the sick animals that are metabolic syndrome and then we consume them and then the antibiotics get into us as well and of course who doesn't take antibiotics right the average kid has 20 rounds of antibiotics before he's even 10 years old that's your kids and most of the time 80% of the time it's a virus it's not even a bacterial infection oh but the doctor has to be careful you know you have in a year infection you know you got to be sure hey it's all virus when my kids grew up my wife and i almost had a divorce over the kids because i wouldn't say they couldn't it's a virus leave it alone oh no he's suffering so i said so antibiotics are not going to help i remember i gave three courses of antibiotics to three children that means on average one one course each that's it and today they're all healthy beings they're all absolutely beautiful intelligent kids but you don't need to be killing your bacteria with antibiotics so every time you take a course of antibiotics you're killing all your bacteria as well in your gut so we need to preserve them instead of killing them all off and the food that you're consuming has antibiotics in it the fish you go for an average farm farm fish there's got antibiotics in it almost the equivalent of a quarter tablet of an antibiotic in it huh what why are you doing that our our milk has antibiotics in it our our our meat has antibiotics in it and then that's the environment in which they're also developing antibiotic resistance this has been well documented over and over again so have you all heard of sebo which is small intestinal bacterial overgrowth 50 percent of people who are overweight actually have sebo as well so what has obesity got to do with all this well you know that if i take your a poop from an obese person and transplant it into you chances are you'll become obese too so these studies have been done over and over again you take seed patients you know see clostridium difficile infection so those patients the best treatment for them is actually a fecal transplant it's even better than giving them antibiotics so the studies were done and then they noticed that my god sometimes they just blew up like crazy while they realized that the poop that was donated that person who donated was extremely obese so there's an obesogenic fecal profile and you take that and conversely if you want to do this you can go to california tomorrow catch a flight go to california and you can go to a clinic over there and they'll give you an antibiotic they'll give you some poop they call the crap crapsules they'll give you a crap seal of a healthy college graduate and you got to kind of get rid of your own crap and then you take the crap seal and then you repopulate yourself but people are doing it um i can't vouch for that i'm just saying that people are looking at all these things but fecal transplants are are teaching us them that they have they have strength and the studies have strength the more we read about it somebody said we don't we don't you see we all don't read all these things so they in the research literature and they get hidden away especially in certain specialties they just kind of hide away in there so we never get a chance to read them but lucky for me i'm a real inquisitive guy who at night instead of netflix i like to read these little crazy books you know so there's power in the fecal bacteria there's absolutely no doubt and it's not only in the species but also in the products that they make so this is there's a company for example it's also out of california i think they call biome and you set off a sample to them and just based on the sample they can predict your diseases and how how much you weigh and what you're whether you have diabetes or not they're just based on your fecal matter so next time you come to my room i office next time here you're going to give some blood and then go to the toilet and give me some of that i don't know when that's going to happen but i think that looking at the metabolites what we called the metabolome the metabolome is the products that the bacteria in your gut are producing that is going to become very important in the future but i'm saying to you all forget all that why don't you just increase your fiber intake so more than 50 percent of you right now sitting over here more than 50 percent i should say 80 percent of you are not getting enough fiber in your diet right now you're not getting enough fiber in your diet right now and there's one thing you should be able to do right now to improve all your health right now and your kids and your family and everybody is increase your fiber intake and know that it's working through your microbiome so all my cardiac patients i put them on inulin inulin inulin is a is a is a um is a soluble fiber it belongs to the fructans and it's from onions and garlic and artichokes and and leeks and it's made from that it's a white powder soluble fiber so this is the stuff that you put in water it's soluble you can't see it it's not that metamucel thick stuff that i give patients right that that's totally different this is soluble fiber and i give it to all my patients and they all come back to me and say first couple of days they get gas after that they find the sugar levels come down the weight start coming down the insulin levels start coming down they start sleeping better they start sleeping better i think i'm just giving you soluble fiber and you start sleeping better the gut feels better they start losing the weight the metabolic syndrome seems to get better so i give them that all my patients i also give them i also do a test in my office occasionally not very often maybe once or twice a week and i look for a leaky gut what am i doing looking for leaky gut i'm looking for antibodies against zonulin but i'm also looking to see if there are other markers that he's got an inflamed gut functionally because if you do a colonoscopy of those but here i'm gonna see anything on the colonoscopy so those tests are done very rarely i don't even order them much at all but sometimes they come in requesting those my solution is very simple eat real food eat real food don't eat artificial food if it doesn't look like that in nature don't even touch it throw it away there's no gut here on the trees right right none none so if it doesn't look like nature i don't eat it i will go for high fiber diet number one no antibiotics unless i really absolutely need it unless i absolutely need it okay then there are other things that you can do to improve the the overall access right there's a nervous system in your gut called the enteric nervous system which is actually number two to your brain your brain is the big nervous system the big one in the gut because after all that's the border that's the border crossing so there's a big enteric nervous system so i see a lot of patients that come to me with vasovagal diseases that means they get there they're fainting they they get they see something or they're tired or they're standing in this supermarket they keep fainting they get vasovagal attacks so the vagus nerve slows their heart rate down too much and they keep passing out or they get excessive tachycidase called pot syndrome potts so they get a very rapid heartbeat all the time the pulse rate is running all the time high i couldn't figure out why they're getting this if you look at the cardiology literature and by now i should know it i've been doing it for 35 years right there's no answers so with these patients i started asking them so what's your gut like it keeps fainting this 22 year old college student keeps fainting and i'll realize immediately that these pair of girls and boys have a dysfunctional gut because they're eating wrong so the vagus nerve stimulation because remember the vagus nerve is the largest nerve in the body and supplies the gut i changed their diet and the vasovagal symptoms are gone gone the heart rates come down to normal they stop fainting they don't all go get vasovagal symptoms so the nervous system in the gut is hugely important how do i treat good gastric software reflux how do i treat that i treat that myself i'm a gastroenterologist i'm not a gastroenterologist i'm a cardiologist but i give them probiotic food so i give them all kefir and fermented foods you're supposed to eat fermented foods your ancestry ate fermented foods you all stopped eating fermented foods because we are now sophisticated right you're supposed to be eating fermented foods every day if you're not going to eat day then you got to eat kefir or you got to eat some learn how to eat sauerkraut with your salads sauerkraut is fermented cabbage full of bacteria you supposed to learn how to eat kimchi don't put that fishy oyster sauce in your kimchi make it into a vegetarian kimchi and you can actually ferment any vegetable you like so when i go home i'll have a salad i put a whole bunch of that fermented stuff in it i'm getting all that bacteria inside me you have to eat fermented foods every day you got to eat fermented food because if you're not eating fermented foods you're not doing your your your body and service you have to do this every day so i do that so i'll have that i'll have kefir what are the fermented foods so daheen b-u b-u is a fermented food of course it is but the trouble with b-u is there's also some alcohol and the last time when there's a covid outbreak in my office we were all using alcohol to kill everything so guess what i'm killing everything inside and then you're wondering why my gut bacteria is unhappy because you throw your alcohol on top of them so drinking alcohol is really deleterious studies now show i used to say that it's okay to have one drink a day day by day i'm i think that two drinks a week is enough because otherwise there's definite data to show that alcohol is very deleterious very deleterious but also now because of the gut bacteria i'm really scared because you do destroy your gut bacteria with alcohol intake it sterilizes it so you want to eat daheen you want to eat kefir if you don't like daheen you want to you want to eat sauerkraut kimchi kombucha kombucha is a nice fermented drink as well anything fermented fermented stuff is really good except for the beer so i take i take a salad i put some sauerkraut in it on top of it then i put um uh balsamic vinegar and a little bit of olive oil now the olive oil i've got to tell you about olive oil okay there's no garbage olive oil is good for you but not because it's olive oil it's not the oil in it that is really good for you because it is basically 50 mono unsaturated fats i've done all the analysis on this it's 50 percent mono unsaturated fats and it is about 20 20 saturated um so it's got a mixture of the fats it's not all mono unsaturated the real benefit of olive oil is the polyphenols that's why you're an extra virgin olive oil because it has more polyphenols so what are polyphenols polyphenols are the chemicals that make all these plants look very beautiful so you have green you have purple you have red you have yellow all the peppers and all the different colors oh yeah your white variety is very good for me it's not good for you it's good for your bacteria you can't digest any polyphenols so they were right that you should consume a lot of part you cannot metabolize a single polyphenol you cannot every polyphenol is actually metabolized by your bacteria i mean this was such a humbling experience when i did the research on this to say that i thought that this i i'm doing all this you know for my body and my body is metabolizing all of that i'll source everything i love this phrase i would source all my metabolism i love it but there's some truth to this because my bacteria are using the polyphenols so polyphenols are good for you eat a wide variety of foods and colors they're not for you they're for your bacteria so give them the fiber give them the polyphenols yeah you guys go for it they have the most amazing pharmacology they are the best pharmacists in the world they make the right things and i want you to think about something else okay all of you let's say that you need a genomic change to improve your health you can't do it because you only have x number of genes and for their mutations to occur in those genes very rare very occasionally they'll happen right guess what you change your diet tomorrow you've got so many trillion genes in there inside your belly that these bacterial genes adapt immediately when it comes to your health you need someone who has your back that's why at horizon blue cross blue shield of new jersey we make sure our health plans have all the benefits you need because everyone should feel like someone has their back the bacteria have the greatest ability to change the metabolism according to the environment so we have the bacteria in here because today you're here tomorrow you're going live in california it's totally different bacterial environment different foods different everything your bacteria are adapting much faster than you so tomorrow you go to to the moon and you're going to only have those processed foods that are all frozen and i've you know made in certain ways your bacteria will adapt to it bacteria can eat anything they can actually adapt very quickly that's why when that what's that thing called in the Gulf of Mexico we have that big oil spill how did they finally get rid of that there's bacteria you think we did it there's the bacteria they threw the bacteria that actually eats oil which brings me to the fact that these when i tell you people not to take artificial sweetness it's not for you i'm not white about you the artificial sweetness i'm white about who the bacteria because they do consume those you don't have a metabolism for for sweetness all these artificial sweetness you have no metabolism for it who has a metabolism your bacteria so basically causing a deranged microbiome so when i say don't take artificial sweetness it's not for you it's because you're destroying your microbiome and it's not that you're killing it all off you change the balance of it so if i told you there's a hundred trillion bacteria in your gut did you know that you have almost four four hundred trillion viruses in your gut did you know that did you know that you have four hundred trillion viruses in your gut right now now most of them don't infect you you say i'll go i'm not sick because they are bacterophages what is a bacterophage is a virus that only attacks bacteria so there's a whole population of them and keeping themselves all under control the bacteria keep themselves the viruses also keep themselves so that is that it's a simple message it's a simple message you know the bacteria just need to be taken care of you don't take the care of them because you're not eating right you're eating selfishly and you're not taking care of the bacteria in your guts that is why you have the wrong bacteria the wrong metabolome as we call it and that's why we're having diabetes insulin resistance obesity chronic inflammatory bowel disease lots rheumatoid arthritis what is rheumatoid arthritis connective tissue diseases these are all problems with autoimmunity why because the gut lining is bad and if things get inside your body mounts and autoimmune response against it it's too much activity autoimmune too much because there's no t regulatory activity going on so it's exposure and then those t cells are too happy too happy to pull out the guns and start firing that's what rheumatoid arthritis is that's what lupus is also and all these things are going around our bodies and making us sick you're sick and tired of eating all this garbage sick and tired of eating garbage i hope you are sick and tired of eating garbage so we need to change this message not only for us but to our kids because notice what's happening with the kids also notice what's going on they are increasingly becoming obese increasingly become diabetic increasing cognitive functions going down increasing incidence of autism increasing incidence of behavioral disorders and you're wondering why because you're putting diesel in a gasoline car stop doing it and i can speak for at least maybe three four dozen families that i've talked to in the last year or so the kids turn around completely completely different children and these kids if you're not careful they will grow up let's say they get through all that childhood they will grow up to become very sick adults mentally and physically both ways so there are certain mental developments that have to occur at a certain time in your development now watch what i'm going to tell you because this is really important when they introduce the bacteria into mice at one year instead of right at birth that development never completely reversed that means they develop an abnormality didn't completely that means those mice still had a deficit which means that there was a certain input that those bacteria had on the development of the brain of the child that's growing at that time and if you missed that boat you do to think about what i'm saying this is really and we have the data to show for this we actually have data we actually have even have human data now to show for it so we should take this very seriously that our development as a human is very integrally connected to our bacteria and our bacteria products that they manufacture and that is integrally related to how we were born how we were raised which antibiotics would take what environment we live in what kind of water we drink plus what kind of food we're putting inside us and what kind of chemicals you're introducing into your body because if we don't pay attention to this right now three quarters of the population already has metabolic syndrome and amongst the south asians it's even higher it's even higher so it means you're not going to die but you're going to have a life that is not worth living because you're going to be you're not going to be there or you're not going to be physically able to do anything but you're still alive so it's a great time to today we may not know all the science behind it by encourage everybody to go home and think about this and anything that you see on your table that you don't recognize as real food throw it away because it's not for you nor is it for your bacteria it has to look like that in nature last thing last thing and this is very new and i'm going to make a video of this coming up this is just an intro to all this right but the last thing i'll tell you is about aging products ages advanced glycation end products why is that advanced glycation end products in summary it's a combination of a of a sugar moiety to the nitrogen moiety of a protein molecule so when the two of them join you get this product which is called an advanced glycation end products the classic one that you all know about is hemoglobin a1c so that's a hemoglobin combined with high sugars forms hemoglobin a1c right so it does make that a1c dysfunction but of course this reaction is according to almost all the proteins in our body so the diabetic patient with high sugar has a lot of advanced glycation end products throughout his body which is why his eyes go bad his brain goes bad his vasculose goes bad he gets coronary arteries he gets renal failure he's got peripheral neuropathy he gets sapopenia he gets liver disease he gets all these things right because all his molecules in his body are not able to work properly because of advanced glycation end products right so there's an endogenous micro my uh uh advanced glycation end products which is constantly occurring in all of us it's occurring in all of us that's why you'd all need to do some intermittent fasting to get rid of them also bring your sugar levels down you know that's a talk that i've given before that you got to keep your sugars nice and low so you don't get a glycation end product but did you know that what you do to your food creates advanced glycation end product so now i take my potatoes oh yeah whole food doctor j told me whole food better still sweet potatoes top top top top top and i put in my air fryer nice and crispy brown lovely beautiful full of advanced glycation end products why because dry what's the message i'm telling you today dry high heat causes advanced glycation end products so 90 of the glycation end products that you eat in the food baked products baking products pastries anything brown anything that's caramelized gets absorbed only by your gut bacteria and kills them because it's sick 10 percent gets absorbed into your bloodstream all that 30 percent gets excreted in your kidneys so you want to kill your kidneys go ahead and of course it destroys your metabolism in your body and of course the bacteria will have their own their casualty right there because they're getting all that advanced glycation end products so if you grill something advanced glycation end products heated up really good in a pan solid oh yeah black and black black and yeah so it's not only eating real food that looks like real food it's also what you're doing to it because we just damn too smart we're too smart for our own good so we have air fryer's and we we have walks and and we we we we barbecue and we think it's a great life so you take your meat and you you caramelize and you barbecue it and you take your chicken and you put it on there and you take your fish and you're overcooking it and and for that matter even if you take your bindi and you make it all black and over fry your bindi's okra and all that stuff right what are you doing you're creating advanced glycation end for what you want to eat all that charred stuff and let your body deal with it and let your bacteria deal with it no the studies clearly show that you should be cooking food in a stew in water what's the maximum temperature of water anybody when it boils 200 and something right that's it and it's moist not only is it that but our sastras also said that you have to put vinegar you marinate the food in vinegar or lemon and that causes less advanced glycation end products so smart they were that they knew that these reactions are inhibited so you make a curry out of it or you stew it in a pot so you make chicken you make a make it in a stew you take meat or you may make vegetables and you stew it or you take your food and you cook it in a slow pressure cooker or you know one of those cookers right in moist heat that's fine you're also killing all the lectins so you see we never thought about this there's many ways to cook your food and if you're destroying the food already and then you're eating it you're getting all that advanced glycation end product and you're wondering why you're sick oh no i'm vegetarian yeah but all the vegetarians are so sick they they have lack of omega three too much omega six lack of vitamin b12 not enough fiber because eating all the processed foods as well right and too much omega omega six because they have vegetable oils and everything they overcook the foods as well so watch what you do to your food as well cook it in a pressure cooker cook it with heat moist heat and you'll get less advanced glycation end products anything that comes ready made in a packet it's already got advanced glycation end products in it that's why you can open the cookie and leave it on your table i'll still be like that one week later because it's got glycation end products in it the reactions have already occurred it's all done finished so anything that you put on your table and it still looks like that a couple of days later you don't want it and by the way naturally when you leave it out it's going to age as well so it's the same thing that's going on it's oxidized basically it's rusting right don't eat what they look at it what does that mean it's leftover foods because they will accumulate leftover foods because they will accumulate advanced glycation end products no good for your bacteria no good for you cook it fresh eat it then give it to the ducks that's what we do we give to the ducks and the turtles we live on a lake and that's what we do and my wife she got so mad at me because i said i'm not gonna eat what they look at a little food you know that's exactly what i'm talking about no i don't eat any stale food more than 24 hours it's gone don't put in the fridge don't reheat it for me don't reheat it don't put in the microwave and reheat it and by the way you only hear something interesting which is what i learned when you microwave food you actually create less advanced glycation end products which is interesting because it's it's heating up the water inside it so i looked into the mechanism why is it that microwave food created less advanced glycation end product because microwave only works with water in it there's water in the food then it it vibrates those particles and liberates the heat and the reagent energy then heats up it's still it was very interesting but so there's one good thing about microwave in general but i have warned you about something else about microwaves and you turn it on walk at least six eight feet away so you put it you know how we go and put it over it and we stand there waiting for it don't do that you're just getting all that emf on your body for what why are you doing that but we all do it we all do it we all stand right no i put it in i walk away from my microwave six eight feet away because i don't want all that unnecessary so that's all very interesting stuff i hope you enjoyed this because what i want to just send a message to you all is get back to thinking about your gut bacteria eat more fiber in your diet no matter what you do you're not getting enough fiber in your food so supplement it with some fiber i give my patients inulin plus fos which is a white powder i give it to all my patients cardiac patients and you know what blood pressures are coming down i kid you not the sugars are coming down they feel so much better i fix the gut and all of a sudden they're coming in the dark i feel so great and i said i didn't fix your gut i'm not a gastroenterologist but what i think i did is i changed the metabolism and i changed the metabolone the products from the gut and the bacteria i definitely changed it and this is my own personal experience and then i did all the research behind it because i couldn't figure it out so i did my own research on this and came up with this thing that oh my god the gut bacteria is huge a lot of books on the microbiome it's called the microbiome i encourage you all to read those books there's lots of them read about it and you'll realize it's very empowering you'll feel fantastic and your kids your family your parents will really appreciate it um um so eat real food eat it in a more natural form don't overcook it don't kill it and eat it while it's fresh and eat infrequently so you get your gut bacteria chance to you'll so intermittent fasting so good and i figured now is it just the hormonal effect that why are these patients feeling so good and coming back and feel amazing and the weight loss is so good on on intermittent fasting and i read more i read i realized that some of that's because you're changing the bacterial flora you change the bacterial flora in your gut when you do intermittent fasting because bile salts don't get secreted first of all because the gallbladder is not contracting plus you're not putting sugars in there so your entire bacterial flora in your gut changes when you are fasting see how fast because what's the half life of a bacterium huh half life with my microbiologists they're 24 to 48 hours and then they die so when you even fast for 24 hours your microbiome is now completely different from a not completely but markedly different than what your microbiome was before you did your fasting do you all understand what fasting is doing is changing your hormonally is changing your microbiome inside also it's changing it completely so that's why fasting is so helpful it does more than just simply do the hormonal things which i talk about it's changing your microbiome as well another thing i want to tell you about your microbiome is so damn intelligent that there's a thing called metabolic jet lag and this jet lag itself it has its own circadian cycle as well it has its own sales we live here them then we go down then we lose and what do we do we do at night 11 o'clock at night we come home okay yesterday there was a big fatal going on right so i came home it was really late i didn't eat over there and then i come home and then want to eat at 11 o'clock at night i say yeah be going time there you can't eat at 11 o'clock at night you cannot eat at 11 o'clock at night because your hormones are not ready your bacteria are not ready either you got to go with the circadian pattern best time to eat by the way as far as your bacteria and your hormones are concerned it's lunch time that's the best time to eat that's the best time and then in the evening just have a small snack and then try to have at least minimum for healthy people at least 12 hours of fasting every day 12 hours when you have a no calories in whatsoever only water right water and black tea black coffee and don't break your fast and those who are have a problem then you go to eight hours right eight hour window for eating and if you have a real problem six hours and if you have a real real problem come see me i'll make you fast for three days so i got numbered about four five patients right now they're doing a three-day water fast nothing but water for three days completely change the bacteria completely change their hormones they're going to come back feeling absolutely amazing you know when it's all done so the power of fasting is really there so think about when you're eating what you're eating how you're eating is also important sit down and eat don't stand and run around and drive cook in one hand a burger on this hand and oh by the way today on a burger i got to tell you about the burger story i told you he almost fainted so i said you're eating burgers he said yeah i eat burgers well you know but i go to good places i said did you know that the meat that's in your burger came from about a hundred different cows because they take hundred cows they shove them into the machine and mince their meats together i said one of those cars must have been sick so if i gave you meat from a hundred different cows would you eat it no and it just got his brain spinning i mean by the time he left that guy was like spinning but i think that we got to think about what we're eating how we're eating and i think it's very important we take it for granted but let food be thy medicine hypocrite he said that and let's take it seriously we all know it it's just that we don't take it seriously take it seriously let food be thy medicine thank you all very much thanks okay that's it have a safe and prosperous and happy and most of all healthy 2024 to all my viewers and followers happy new year take care we'll see you again next week god willing
