1 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: Doctor John to call. Welcome to the podcast, and it 2 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: is Tokel, not techal Paul. 3 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 2: You've got it right. Most people who first come across 4 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 2: me mispronounce my name, and if I'm called doctor Tickle, 5 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: it really doesn't work because I used to be a guynecologist. 6 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: Kel Rhymell, gotcha. So tell me this, when did you 7 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: first become a doctor? 8 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 2: I graduated as a medical practitioner from the Melbourne University 9 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: back in the nineteen sixties, and it took me two 10 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 2: years of residency at the Royal Melbourne and another suburban 11 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: hospital to graduate supposedly as a general practitioner. I think 12 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: they're called gps now yep. And after ten years handing 13 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: out value and antidepressants, I started to wonder why I 14 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 2: was becoming a social worker because medicine moved on and 15 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 2: if somebody came in with a saw toe and you'd 16 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: give them some opot or something or an aspirin, they'd say, 17 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 2: but you know you were specialist in saw toes, and 18 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: then so you'd send them to a sore toe specialist. 19 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 2: And then you start wondering why you didn't do the 20 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 2: extra five years of studying to become something specialist, you know, 21 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 2: a nose specialist or two you know what. And anyway, 22 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: then I saw something on screen about a guy at 23 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 2: the back of LA who was doing health seminars about 24 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: non drug therapy. So I took a couple of weeks 25 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: off and jumped on a thing called a remember pan 26 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: am oh ah, yeah, yeah. I think they were the 27 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 2: first US airline ever to come to Australia. And I 28 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: guess I'm not allowed to say. The shit was so 29 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 2: s h one t. When the plane took off, I thought, 30 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: were We're going to die? Because anyway, we got there 31 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: and I went out in the back two hours west 32 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 2: of LA and I sat there for two days listening 33 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 2: to this guy as he was in his late eighties, 34 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: and he started talking about plant medicines and I'm wondering, 35 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 2: you know, why the hell am I here, because we've 36 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: got all these drugs and prescriptions now and all those 37 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: sorts of things. And at the end of the two 38 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: days he had me I didn't cross the fence. I 39 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: sat on top of the fence and said maybe. And 40 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 2: then I started the computer stuff at night and I googled. 41 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 2: He used the word integrated medicine. Oh yes, And then 42 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: I stumbled across what are now probably called the blue zones. 43 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: Paul heard of the wor zones. 44 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: I certainly have. 45 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: So I visited the big island the Okinawa off the 46 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 2: southern and Japan, and I visited the island Sardinia in 47 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 2: the Mediterranean, and then the Greek island of Vikaria. And 48 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: I started to eat a little bit differently, and I 49 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 2: was always exercising because I run around the block when 50 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 2: I stopped playing footage for the Mighty Hawks and all 51 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 2: that sort of stuff. But then one day I was diagnosed. 52 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: I had a seizure on an aeroplane between Sydney and Melbourne. 53 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 2: I spoke at a lot of conventions around the world, 54 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: and I was unconscious and I woke up in an 55 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: ambulance being whizzed with the sirens and lights and whistles 56 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: and things to a big hospital. And the ambulance paramedic 57 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 2: was saying, have you got epilepsy? And I said no. 58 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: He said, well, you just had a seizure on an aeroplane. 59 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: I don't like the sound of this. So I got 60 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: into the emergency and they took scans and everything. Resident 61 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: doctor came in and said, Doc, he said, I think 62 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: you're in a strike there are shadows on your brain. 63 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 2: He said, you might have brain cancer and I said, 64 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 2: what do you mean I might? So he got the 65 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 2: oncologist on call and he came in and admitted me 66 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 2: straight away, and then he said, i'll talk to you 67 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 2: in the morning after we find out what sort of 68 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: brain cancer it is. And I said, what do you mean. 69 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: He said, we do a bioposy. We drill a hole 70 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: in yad and a bit like Donald Trump in the 71 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 2: last couple of days, the drill the whole in his head. 72 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: He said, anyway, I wake up out of the other 73 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 2: said it you know, I see the spectacles of the 74 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 2: surgeon there. And then I said what did you find? 75 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 2: And he said, we didn't find a brain cancer. We 76 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 2: found five jumping Jesus. So that afternoon the oncologist he 77 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 2: was a male Asian guy and he had been studying 78 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 2: in New York. And he said, Doc, he said, you've 79 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 2: got the sort of cancer that gives you your prognosis 80 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 2: to be maybe fifteen to eight months if you lack 81 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: you And I said, well, I want to know what's 82 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 2: moved in science, Like there's a thing called immunotherapy. He said, 83 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I've been working in New York 84 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 2: and we've come across a new immunotherapy drug. Immunotherapy was 85 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 2: fairly well. It was a new found technology. What year 86 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 2: was this, John say, it was February the eleventh, twenty ten, 87 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 2: so that's fifth fortune years ago, fifteen years ago. And 88 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 2: he said, would you sign this and allow me to 89 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 2: get you on this trial of the new drug. I said, 90 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: let's change positions. Would you sign the consent for well? 91 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 2: He said, you know I'm an expert and that's your 92 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 2: only hope. And he said, by the way, it's seventy 93 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: thousand dollars a days and you'll need several verses a month. 94 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 2: But if I get you on the trial at three, 95 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 2: So I scribbled my name there pretty quick quickly, and 96 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: then I started. It was really interesting. The wife brought 97 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 2: me two books in to read and I said, I 98 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 2: want books, she said, read This. One was called It's 99 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: Not About the Bike, which was written Gone Einstein. Yeah, yep, 100 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 2: And at that stage he hadn't come out and he's 101 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 2: now survived eighteen years since his brain cancer. He was 102 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 2: probably on different drugs of what I was on. And 103 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 2: the other book was the Okinawan Centenarian Study. Oh yes, Now, 104 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 2: this is the longest peer of viewed study ever done 105 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 2: on hundreds and hundreds over twenty five years, hundreds of 106 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 2: eighty ninety one hundred year old. It's called the Okinawan 107 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 2: Way in Australia and the Okinahoan something in America. And 108 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 2: it was done by a model of Japanese doctors American doctors, 109 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 2: peer reviewed by the Mayo Clinic, et cetera. And it 110 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 2: showed me that the basic human being we have an 111 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: immune system. Paul the obviously you know all about that. 112 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 2: And you have an immune system when you slide down 113 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 2: the birth canal. That's innate, that's with you when you're born. 114 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: But you can change your immune system. I'm convinced for 115 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 2: that because it's really interesting. As we age, we get 116 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 2: a weaker and weaker immune system. Yes, we sit in 117 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 2: our ars and don't walk around the block, and we 118 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 2: eat crap food. I mean, I think you use the 119 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 2: word crap in your last system. Well, crap is an 120 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 2: accrodent for commercially refined and processed crap. You could add 121 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 2: that one. So I stopped eating crap food and got 122 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 2: back to my on the routine of the vegetables and 123 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: whole grades and it's fascinating when you go to a 124 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 2: supermarket now in Australia. I mean the labels there, they're 125 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 2: non understandable. Yes, if I put a label in front 126 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 2: of one hundred shoppers, one out of one hundred might 127 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 2: work out what it actually means. Now, in terms of diabetes, 128 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 2: this sense. The year two thousand, Australia's population has increased 129 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: fifty percent. Our diabetes has increased three hundred percent. It's tripled. 130 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty right. 131 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 2: So we've got a new diabetic now every five minutes, 132 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 2: three hundred a day, one hundred and twenty thousand new 133 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 2: ones a year, and it's galloping like nothing is helping 134 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 2: because of our oval, you know. I mean people say 135 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 2: you can't call kids fat, but we've got the most overweight, 136 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 2: fifth most overweight kids in the OECD countries on this planet, right, 137 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: and then you start to say, were why because they're 138 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 2: an active Paul, When you're a little kid, did you 139 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 2: have to be home by dark and you played mud 140 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 2: prize in the gut? We've got new system and all 141 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 2: that sort of stuff. 142 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: Absolutely, I was kicked out of the house until to 143 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: come back when it was dark. And it doesn't matter 144 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: what you did. 145 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 2: Why now? But now the kids are on their fans 146 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 2: playing computer guides and stuff. 147 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: So, John, there's a maid of mine, professor Grant Schofield, 148 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: who's been on this. He's a public health professor, and 149 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: he did a study showing that when when we work. 150 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: When I was a kid, which is after you were 151 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: a kid, obviously, but we used to roam on average 152 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: five to eight kilometers from from our house. You know, 153 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: you get on your bike, you go and visit your maids, 154 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: so you just ride on your bikes all around the place. 155 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: Now the average kid roams on average between six and 156 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: eight hundred meters, and that's because they're spending the vast 157 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: majority of their time indoors, sitting on a screen and 158 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: as you said, generally eating crap food. And it's not 159 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: working out well, is it. 160 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 2: It's not. And I don't know whether this is going 161 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 2: to surprise you, Paul. That might surprise some viewers. If 162 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 2: you compare the deaths last week in Australia, the road 163 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: toll was an average twenty six people die a week 164 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 2: on our roads. Murders there were five average last week. 165 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 2: Breast cancer, even though if you getting in stage one 166 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 2: it's ninety two five years survival still nine women to 167 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 2: day died of breast cancer. That's sixty three. So road 168 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 2: tolls twenty six last week murders five breast cancer, sixty 169 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: three cross date cancers seventy. That's how bad men are 170 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 2: going for checkups because more men get answer the women 171 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 2: get breast cancer. And so twenty six five sixty seventy 172 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 2: diabetes and it's complication. Last week four one hundred and 173 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 2: forty deaths. 174 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: Jesus right and John the I think the thing a 175 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: lot of our lists won't recognize about diabetes is that 176 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: it is one of the precursors to Alzheimer's disease and 177 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: other forms of dementia. And ten years ago Alzheimer's disease 178 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: wasn't even the top ten of biggest killers. Now it's 179 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: the biggest killer of all females in Australia, Alzheimer's disease, 180 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: dementia and its complications, and it's increasing at a rapid 181 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 1: rate of knots. But a lot of researchers are calling 182 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: it type three diabetes or diabetes of the brillant. 183 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 2: I agree with you, Bill. What was your name again? Now? 184 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: John? I just had a flashback as you were talking 185 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: about the brain cancer. I'm pretty sure that we both presented, 186 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: or maybe I was just watching, but at the it 187 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: was at a conference, whether it was the ac THEM 188 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: conference or another one, and you were there and you 189 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: were talking about your your Brian cancer and you talked 190 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: about diet. Did you talk about lull Hi ten or 191 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: fifteen years ago? Because I borrowed it from somebody and 192 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: I cannot remember who it was, but I just had 193 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: a flashback. I think it might have been you. 194 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 2: Well, let's change, I borrowed it. You stole it from 195 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 2: the his Human interference for all Number one in nutrition 196 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 2: is you've got six to eight seconds to look at 197 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 2: a food or drink and ask yourself how much is 198 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: a human being interfered with this? Did they pick it 199 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 2: off a tree or dig it up, you know, like 200 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 2: a spun out of the ground or see I mean 201 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 2: when you dig your sput up the Irish I believed 202 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 2: on spuds for hundreds of years. 203 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: Man, I know that, But do you know if you 204 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: slice a spud. 205 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 2: Let's let's take something I don't know maccus ever heard 206 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 2: of macus. They cut spuds into forty slices, increase the 207 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 2: surface area thirty times in dumpling fat increase the fat 208 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 2: content twenty seven times, and that cavert was solved. I mean, 209 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 2: that's what we do. We've i neually said the word 210 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 2: if you you. 211 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: Can say whatever you want on this podcast. There's no 212 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: problem here. 213 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 2: Okay. So fast food is if you seek food because 214 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 2: it's full of fat and sugar. And you look at 215 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 2: the cereals, you know that's gone live fat, but it's 216 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: full of sugar. It's one hundred and twenty seven but 217 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 2: said sugar. 218 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: And you know, another problem with what McDonald's did is 219 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: that they changed their cooking oil. And this was a 220 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: I can't remember it was ten fifteen years ago, from 221 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: from lard to vegetable oil, and that has coincided that 222 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: mass change has actually coincided with a huge increase in 223 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: health problems. So as you will know and some of 224 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: our viewers know, but if you are cooking stuff at 225 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: high temperature, you want a stealable fat at high temperature, 226 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: which is a saturated fat like large or dripping that 227 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 1: our grandparents used to use. But when you use vegetable 228 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: oils and heat them, they give off toxic aldehydes and 229 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,359 Speaker 1: all sorts of other horrible, horrible things. 230 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, discussion point. That's interesting because with my traveling one 231 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 2: hundred plus countries two or two about sue. My wife 232 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 2: has five children and I think they're online, and the 233 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 2: three kids who are medical doctors. Our total country is 234 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 2: visiting the world is past one hundred and ten now, 235 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 2: and it would appear to me that pure virgin olive 236 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 2: oil is as long as you don't use it twice 237 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 2: or Peter is past smoking point. Yes, I think pure 238 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 2: virgin olive oil is. I mean I have a tablespoon 239 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 2: of olive oil two or three times today when I 240 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 2: passed the bottle. So, but you're right. All the fast 241 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 2: food stuff, I mean you know how often do they change? 242 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, exactly. And this is the thing, and that's 243 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: I always say this to people. If you want to 244 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: be frying foods that's not at super high temperatures, extra virgin. 245 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: It has to be extra virgin, right, It has to 246 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: be extra virgin? Is the is the way to go 247 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: very high in polyphenol content smoke points about two hundred 248 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: and twenty. But if you need to, like if you're 249 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: cooking a steak or something super super high, then you 250 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: can't use it that's that's where you have to use 251 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: a saturated fact that's saturated with carbon bonds. That means 252 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: it's steable under heat. 253 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,239 Speaker 2: Can you remember Popeye? 254 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: Ah? H I do, indeed, yes. 255 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 2: What was his favorite food spinach? Spinach? And what was 256 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 2: his girl's girlfriend's name? 257 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: Oh? God, nay? 258 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 2: Your test oil? 259 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: Olive oil, olive oid. You're right, and that ah, you 260 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: to get into the combination. Are you that when you 261 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: mix olive ooid with vegetables or solid you get nitric 262 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: oxide is produced, which is awesome for your heart, your 263 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: blood vessels. 264 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, the other interesting thing that's happened in the 265 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 2: last decade or so is the connection between let's call 266 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 2: it gut brain help. Are you with that? 267 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm all over like a spider monkey. 268 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 2: So we have trillions of microbiome in our gut, and 269 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 2: it's fascinating to me that I've been working with senior microbiologists, 270 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 2: especially the ones at Macquarie University, and we've been testing 271 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 2: various non drug foods, mixing them together and all this 272 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: sort of stuff, and then looking at the the not 273 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 2: the interference, but the change in microbiome diversity in the gut. 274 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 2: And so there's now a product. It's interesting with the 275 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 2: treatment of diabetes. Do you know when insulin was invented? 276 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,959 Speaker 2: No idea one hundred and one years ago? Right, did 277 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 2: you know when Mett Foreman and associated drugs were found? 278 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: I would imagine in the last twenty thirty. 279 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 2: Sixty years ago. Wow, And now have you heard of 280 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 2: these whatever one? Yeah, LP one and. 281 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: All those empic and yep, yep, yep, I know those. 282 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 2: The scary thing about those is that they have they 283 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 2: can have major side effects, and they have bloody expensive 284 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 2: And now everyone who's two pounds overweight the US get 285 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 2: some of this and so none left for diabetes. But 286 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 2: it's interesting now that we've been testing this, it's now 287 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 2: got a non drug name name. It's called utri cane. 288 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 2: It's from when sugar cane is processed to get rid 289 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 2: of the sugar that we sell on the super market shells. 290 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 2: The residue of sugar cane is a multi fibrous, multinutrients 291 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 2: substance which. 292 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: Is at high and resistant starch by any chance. 293 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 2: Correct, absolutely correct. And it's really interesting because it cuts 294 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 2: down I've heard of the glycemic indexes. It reduces glycemic 295 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 2: index because it makes the food stay around longer in 296 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 2: the intestine, so the different fatty acids, it goes further 297 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 2: through your intestines before it's absorbed. But the best thing 298 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 2: in terms of microbiology is that it increases the diversity 299 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 2: of microbiome and it also increases the number of bacteria 300 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 2: that have anti inflammatory because part of the outstanding scientific 301 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,959 Speaker 2: advances is that most, if not all, chronic disease. Did 302 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 2: I tell you what I call chronic diseases, Chad? No? 303 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 2: Were you around in Australia with a thing called Life 304 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 2: Be in It? 305 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: No, but I have heard of it. I moved to 306 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: Australia in twenty twenty four, but I've heard of Life 307 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: Being It and that whole campaign that was really successful 308 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: by the government. 309 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 2: Right you just said it's really successful awareness and had 310 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 2: an eighty five percent awareness, But it's KPIs. It did 311 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 2: virtually nothing because the hero norm the slot on the 312 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 2: couch with a cigarette and a pack of the chips 313 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 2: and a remote. You know, one of the worst things 314 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 2: ever invented was a remote control for TV. We used 315 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 2: to get up and change the channel. 316 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: Do you know what? John? On the front of my book, 317 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: which is called Death by Comfort, where modern life is 318 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: killing us there. I have a skeleton sitting in a 319 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: chur with a remote control in front of the TV, 320 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,719 Speaker 1: and he's got fast food wrappers all around it. 321 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 2: Well, norm he actually died of diabetes. He had a 322 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 2: heart attack. For sixty five percent of diabetics have heart 323 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 2: disease disease. But he did have a son and being. Now, 324 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 2: the other great thing in terms of teaching little kids 325 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 2: is role Modely, do you have children at all? 326 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: I certainly do. 327 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 2: And how old will they be? 328 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: Now I've an eighteen year old, I have an adult, 329 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 1: I have an eighteen year old girl she just turned eighteen, 330 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: and I've got a fourteen year old boy. 331 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 2: Are their hormones racing it? 332 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 1: They certainly are. I think the eighteen year old is 333 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: through the other side and the fourteen year old lion 334 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: cub is just coming into food force. 335 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: Okay, Well on the counting thing with Sue and aasas mentioned, 336 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: we have five children and so far we've got eleven grandchildren. 337 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 2: Nice and it's really interesting that when one of the children, 338 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 2: little kids, you know, six year old four year old say, oh, part, 339 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 2: I don't like Brussels sprouts, I say, I hang on 340 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 2: your body loves Brussels sprouts. It's very healthy. But those 341 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 2: little things, see that thing, they're called your tongue. There's 342 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 2: a little dots on your tongue called taste buds. Now 343 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 2: your taste buds, because I've never had Brussels sprouts before. 344 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 2: They are ah. But you've got a brain box up 345 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 2: here when you were created by whoever you were created with, 346 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 2: your brain box, your think box on top of your tongue. 347 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 2: But your tongue's out of control telling them you don't 348 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 2: like Brussels sprouts, But your brain boxer say, yeah, you bee. 349 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 2: The more of those plant foods with all the vitamins 350 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 2: and middles, the better for you. So you don't have 351 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 2: to eat your brussels breat just have a little bit 352 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 2: and a little bit of all the different colors, you know, 353 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 2: the little bit of pumpkin, a little bit of carrots, 354 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 2: a little bit dis finished, a little bit of that. 355 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 2: And those partners said, part of some grapes there, that's 356 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,959 Speaker 2: a fruit, not a bit, it doesn't matter. It's by 357 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 2: it and it's purple, and it's different color, different vims, 358 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 2: different minerals. So you know the next book that's coming 359 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 2: out with a Murder of Children's Research Foundation is it's 360 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 2: all about the heroes in life. They live in Britain 361 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 2: vegetable village. So in terms of the gut and brain connection, Paul, 362 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 2: we're both on the same page there. So I'll tell 363 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 2: you what people say, but aren't you retired? I say, well, 364 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 2: in Okawa their dialect, there's no word called retire. But 365 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 2: one of them who spoke English said, Doc said, you're tired, 366 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 2: why you want to get retired. 367 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 1: It's interesting because I know a big thing about the 368 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 1: Okinawins particularly, but all Japanese culture is this whole idea 369 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 1: of eki guy, of doing something that you love and 370 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: stuff that you're passionate about. And an eki gay can 371 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: be little things, big things, but you clearly have eki 372 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: guy around the health the well being because you're little 373 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: past normal retirement Didge, but still out there talking about 374 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: their stuff so passionately. 375 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 2: Right, Well, you see you just said retirement age. The 376 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 2: Australian government invented a thing called a pension in nineteen 377 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 2: thirty five. Now in those days, life expectancy was sixty two. 378 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: Yes, that's me is right. In the sixties, right. 379 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 2: Australian government still have a thing called a pension. And 380 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 2: the retirement age is sixty five. It's the same, but 381 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 2: our life expectancy now is in the eighties. So the 382 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 2: Commonwealth government is broke, yes, because money to people who 383 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 2: have retired, and that means your brain retires too and 384 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 2: dies away because you're all your little neurons, those brain 385 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 2: cells in there unless you give them something to do. 386 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 2: And that's where dementia is coming from. You see. So 387 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 2: my three rules for Icky Gaya the Japanese word, are 388 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 2: three Optimism. Always look on the brides of life support systems. 389 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 2: You must have someone, a partner, ah, a pet, anything, 390 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 2: a tree, and you can go hug hug someone you 391 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 2: love every day. And the last thing, Paul, I've never 392 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 2: told you this, but I've been invented a new pill 393 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 2: him a purpose in life. 394 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: Oh I like it? Yes, yes, yes, you good with 395 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: your acronyms, aren't you, Jesus? 396 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, I think the the ace skills I learned 397 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 2: from the ocoans that the ace skills in life are 398 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 2: the three basic human self management. You're looking after you 399 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 2: as activity c. C is coping, yeah, and he is eating. Now. 400 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 2: When you're playing the game of cards, the aces are 401 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 2: the most important cards in your pack. When you in 402 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 2: the game of life, the aces are so important every 403 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 2: day activity, you know, walk around the block for thirty minutes, 404 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 2: So what haven't got time? I said, right now, how 405 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 2: long are you? So I'm going to ask you, Paul, 406 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 2: how long do you sleep? Six? Seven, eight? 407 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, six ss? I would sleep seven hours, leaves 408 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 1: twenty leaves. What that leaves at seventeen? 409 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 2: Okay, So now how many half hours are there in 410 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 2: seventeen hours? 411 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: Thirty four approximately? 412 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 2: I'll do the math for you. So you know, in 413 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 2: a week, you're awake for two hundred and thirty eight 414 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 2: half hours. And I say to people, what you can't 415 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 2: find six of two hundred and thirty eight half hours 416 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 2: to take yourself for wark? I mean you are bullshitting yourself. 417 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. And just on that point, John as 418 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: really a research peopart this morning. I don't know if 419 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: you ever came across it, but the Dallas Bad Dress Study. 420 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,959 Speaker 1: So what they did is they took five young healthy 421 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: meals in their twenties. This is in the nineteen sixties 422 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: when they were able to do pretty cool stuff right 423 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: with ethical approval, and they put these guys in complete immobilization, 424 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: complete bed rest for three weeks and they did exercise 425 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: testing on them and then imaged their hearts. They're all 426 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: sorts of testing on their hearts, right, and they find 427 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: that in three weeks they had I think it was 428 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 1: a twenty seven percent reduction in their VO two max 429 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: their fitness levels, and like a twenty six percent increase 430 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 1: in stiffness of the left ventricle. And then they trained 431 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: them for eight weeks and they not only got all 432 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: their function back but improved. But here's the really interesting thing. 433 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: Somebody followed them up thirty years later, so they're now 434 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: in their fifties, and they blot them in and they 435 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,239 Speaker 1: imaged their hearts and did the testing on them, and 436 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: it turns out that few weeks of bad rest created 437 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 1: more damage for fitness and heart function than thirty years 438 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: of aging. 439 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 2: Well that was done I believe by doctor Kenneth Couper 440 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 2: of the Dallas Aerobics Institute. Ah. 441 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, because at the Cooper Institute are different, right. 442 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. I I met and met doctor Kenneth Cooper 443 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 2: way back when he wrote his book The Aerobics Institute, 444 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 2: And that study has been replicated now and that's a fact, 445 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 2: and that's why if you have one hundred and thirty 446 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 2: thousand Australians have a hipp or knee done every year. 447 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 2: And now in the old days they used to keep 448 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 2: them in bed for two weeks, but now they get 449 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 2: people up the next day. That's right, the move, So 450 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 2: you're absolutely right. See what I tell people is at 451 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 2: the age of twenty five, the majority of Australians and 452 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 2: Americans and people in the UK lose approximately one percent 453 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 2: of their muscle bulk, efficiency and strength every year. Not 454 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 2: much so when you're fifty five you've lost thirty percent 455 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 2: of your muscle bulk, strength and efficiency. When you're five, 456 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 2: and if you live tid you're one hundred and twenty five, 457 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 2: you've got zero. 458 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: You're in reverse. But the interesting I mean, we're so 459 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: aligned on this. I think what a lot of people 460 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: don't realize is that contracting muscle produces these molecules called 461 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: myokins that we actually nine know. I mean, when I 462 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: did my exercise physiology masters nearly thirty years ago, we 463 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: were told that myokinds. What they do is they convert 464 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: glucose and fat to energy and then they help your 465 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: muscle get bigger, faster, stronger. But we now know, those 466 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: mayakinds get into circulation and they have a positive impact 467 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: on every single organ and every organ system in your body. 468 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: They are critical signaling molecules to just tell your body 469 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: to be healthier. Right. 470 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. The other thing that doctor Cooper explained to me 471 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 2: with his heart scans and all that sort of stuff 472 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 2: and angiograms, your three major arteries, your coronary arteres in 473 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 2: your heart, the three major ones that keep you alive 474 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 2: are one fifth the width of your little finger. 475 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, wow. 476 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 2: There's not much room in there now. If you have 477 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 2: vascular insufficiency and you start to line your arteries with 478 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 2: calcium and muckam or fat all that sort of stuff, 479 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 2: you can swush that away in the first few months 480 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 2: by moving blood through your heart, which is called exercise. 481 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 2: So your coronary artery disease can be stopped progressing by 482 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 2: you going for a walk every day and doing some 483 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 2: flexibility stuff and all that sort of stuff. People say, well, 484 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 2: you know, are there any exercises that move every muscle 485 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 2: in your body at the same time, I said, swimming, 486 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 2: push ups of your ties, and sex if you're on top, 487 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 2: not just line it. 488 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: Excellent. So John, let's let's let's go back to the 489 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: whole diet thing. So and and and you know somebody 490 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: came along many many years after you and talked about 491 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: the blue zones, Dan something or other. I can't remember 492 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: what his name was. And but hey, for for me 493 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: put too much emphasis on on on on diet. I mean, 494 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: we know the diet is really important in those blue zones. 495 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: But you've been in the blue zones. It's not just 496 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,479 Speaker 1: the diet. They are very community driven and they they 497 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: they all are are physically active, right and so, and 498 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: they have socialization, they they they have their their their 499 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:05,959 Speaker 1: together and they have real community interactions and so it's 500 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: really just the combination of those things the way that 501 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: humans used to live right. 502 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 2: Absolutely, the a skills, I mean, you see, because they 503 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 2: don't retire at sixty five. They actually grow their own field, 504 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 2: own food in the so they're working, they're still maintaining 505 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 2: physical activity, moving their six hundred muscles every minute of 506 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 2: the day. And if you head on that socialization, they 507 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 2: call it the community effect. They call that spirituality. And 508 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 2: I'm not talking about religion here, I'm talking about togetherness. 509 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 2: And they replace the word selfish with self less. So 510 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 2: anything they can do to help one another. You know 511 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 2: that's a tick the box. 512 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, can I ask you?

Because I think that's the best thing, right 519 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: is find people who you want to replicate and want 520 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: to be like and ask them what the hell do 521 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: they do? So what is the sort of stuff that 522 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: you do? 523 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 2: Okay? If you look at the ice skills activity, I 524 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 2: make sure that I am mobile for at least thirty 525 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:41,719 Speaker 2: minutes every day, so whether it's walking, swimming, I go 526 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 2: to a little place called Kaiser which is working on 527 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 2: a core, the core core issues in the body, see 528 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 2: the peripheral muscles. As your core gets weaker as you are, 529 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 2: is then ther peripheral muscles to be used more and 530 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 2: then you start getting I mean I have said a 531 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 2: over the age of sixty in Australia got back pain 532 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 2: on off and so yeah, I'm active.

The O and Owens have never heard 536 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 2: of cardiovascular They've never heard of calories, they've never heard 537 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 2: of killer jewels. 538 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: No, they just be active, right, Yeah, they just. 539 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 2: They walk to the fields and they walk home again, 540 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 2: and they hug your love, they hag it. So I 541 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 2: make sure I hug a loved one every day, one 542 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 2: of my grandchildren, or I still have the same wife. 543 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 2: I haven't traded my wife in the younger mobile yet. 544 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 2: I think she was sick to training me and so 545 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 2: activity coping. I'm I was fortunate to meet the guy 546 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 2: who invented or studied the biochemistry of stress, Hands Cellier, 547 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 2: and did. 548 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 1: You meet He's known as the godfather of stress. 549 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 2: That is awesome confidence in Canada. We spoke of the 550 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 2: same confidence and the thing that I took out of 551 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,760 Speaker 2: his performance his talk was, let me tell you something. 552 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 2: When people say I've been under a lot of stress lately, 553 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 2: just look at them and say no, no, no, no, no. 554 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:27,800 Speaker 2: Stress is a response you've been under pressure lately. Well, 555 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 2: if I put you on the MCG in the last 556 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 2: Saturday coming September, in the Grand Final, I'd be putting 557 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 2: you under pressure. If I put Dustin Martin or another 558 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:43,720 Speaker 2: accompanised player on the same grain grew, it's the same pressure. However, 559 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,919 Speaker 2: that other person has got a team around him. He's 560 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 2: got a trainer, he's got a plan, he's got a 561 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 2: go to if things are going wrong. You've done none 562 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,879 Speaker 2: of that specialized training, and you haven't got a plan, 563 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 2: and you haven't got a coach. We've got a team 564 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,360 Speaker 2: around you. You may that's the poor support system. So 565 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 2: your initial stress response would be negative. He'd be positive 566 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,720 Speaker 2: he'd played the game and maybe win the normous fifth middle. 567 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 2: You'd go off after five minutes because you were depressed 568 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 2: or had a ring or something. It's really interesting when 569 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,439 Speaker 2: I got brain cancer and Sue brought me into two 570 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,280 Speaker 2: books and I said, I don't feel like reading anything. 571 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 2: She said, well, what are you going to do? You're 572 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 2: going to want to television. So I read the books 573 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 2: and then I re read. Even though Lance Armstrong was 574 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 2: a cheat, he did do something. He survived brain cancer 575 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 2: because he changed his life. And when he was in 576 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 2: hospital being treated for brain cancer, they wouldn't let him 577 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 2: go home because of all the truth that he was 578 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,399 Speaker 2: other he used to ring his mate, and the only 579 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 2: way he could escape from the hospital was when the 580 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 2: cleaners came in the basement at ten o'clock at night. 581 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 2: So his mate used to bring two bikes and Lance 582 00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 2: would get on his bike at ten pm at night 583 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,399 Speaker 2: for a ten mile ride with his mate to keep 584 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 2: He said, I had to keep the blood moving and 585 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 2: they and all that sort of stuff. So it was 586 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 2: really interesting because the nurses when they put the IV 587 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 2: in and start all the chemicals going in, and I'd 588 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 2: be smiling at the nurse. They thank you very much. 589 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,760 Speaker 2: They said, what are you smiling about. I said, because 590 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 2: of the great job you're doing. Thank you for helping me. 591 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,879 Speaker 2: And those chemicals I call them the good guys. They're 592 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 2: killing all the dasties. Yeah, but most other patients are 593 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 2: depressed and crying and all this sort of stuff. They're saying, 594 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 2: it's an attitude. I mean, life is an attitude shift. 595 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 2: It's not like I missed the last the last bus 596 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 2: I think it was it was. Richard Branson once said 597 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:48,439 Speaker 2: that you know the opportunities in life, it's like being 598 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 2: at the bus stop. You've either missed the bus or 599 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,879 Speaker 2: there's another one coming in a few minutes. He said, 600 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,800 Speaker 2: there's lots of opportunities if you're there at the right time. 601 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 2: And the other thing Brandson said to me with the 602 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,839 Speaker 2: one on one was he said, doc, he said, the 603 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,399 Speaker 2: past has gone, but you learn from it. Never make 604 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 2: the same mistake. Twice he said, the future is for 605 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,280 Speaker 2: those who planned for it. And he said the present 606 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 2: is a gift. That's why they call it the president. 607 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: Oh nice, I like that. That's pretty cool. 608 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 2: The other one on one I've had, which your people 609 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 2: watching and you probably haven't ever done, because I've had one. 610 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 2: I spoke at the same conference as a guy called 611 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 2: Donald Trump, Oh wow, before he was president, and he 612 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 2: called me into which room after I came off the stage, 613 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 2: and he said, you want to talk for three or 614 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 2: four minutes? I said, I said, sir, He said, call 615 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 2: me Donald and I said, And it was really interesting. 616 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 2: I said, before we chat, I've got a gift for you. 617 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 2: He said, a gift for me because I knew he 618 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 2: was a golfreak. And now, I don't know whether you 619 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 2: are the great golfs in the world, but Tiger Woods 620 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 2: has always been chasing the Jack Nicholas. 621 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 1: Now. 622 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,399 Speaker 2: I met Jack Nicholas at a tournament there, and I said, 623 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 2: down with him after a cup of coffee, because I 624 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 2: used him to design the golf course for me. After 625 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 2: a while, I got to know the guy and and 626 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 2: he said, he said, I used to win because the 627 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 2: sharpest club in my bag was between my ears. And 628 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 2: he said, I knew when I was under pressure during 629 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,240 Speaker 2: the last round, I knew I could beat these guys 630 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 2: because they're all skinned. 631 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,240 Speaker 1: There you go, yeah, mindset. 632 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,720 Speaker 2: I wrote a book with Jack called Golf for Life, 633 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 2: and that was published in the US in New York. 634 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,840 Speaker 2: And anyway, I gave the copy to Donald Trump and 635 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 2: he looked at looked at the book and then looked 636 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,319 Speaker 2: at me, and he said. He didn't say thank you. 637 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 2: He said, next time you see Jack, say hello for me. 638 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: There you go. Interesting. 639 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,760 Speaker 2: I can't remember a question, but that's oh no. 640 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: No, that's all right. So here I've got a question 641 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: for you. Right. So let's imagine that you are not 642 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:13,359 Speaker 1: in charge of the country, right, and you're a benevolent 643 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: dictator yep, right, So you can make whatever rules you want, 644 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,800 Speaker 1: but they have to be benevolent to improve the health 645 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: and well being of the population. Okay, the rules would 646 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 1: you make. 647 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 2: Just before I answer the question, do you know what 648 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 2: is still the biggest cancer killer in Australia. Which cancer 649 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 2: kills the most people in Australia. 650 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: Which cancer kills the most people? Would it be bile cancer? 651 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 2: No, it's lung cancer. 652 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 1: Lung cancer. There you go, Okay, obviously. 653 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:55,799 Speaker 2: I mean in the science and reality. In nineteen fifty four, 654 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,839 Speaker 2: the Surgeon General came out in the US and said 655 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 2: sm looking causes lun cat. It's not associated with it 656 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:08,359 Speaker 2: causes lun cat. So therefore, next week I would ban 657 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,359 Speaker 2: the sale of cigarettes, which kills seventy people a day 658 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:17,319 Speaker 2: in Australia. It kills twenty three thousand Australians who don't 659 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,800 Speaker 2: deserve him dead because they get addicted to nicotine. And 660 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,479 Speaker 2: there are seventy car center in a cigarette. So people 661 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 2: say you can't do that, but we go underground. I say, 662 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:30,399 Speaker 2: we'll remember Dan, Daniel and Andrews. He find people two 663 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 2: grand or six grand or something for walking more than 664 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 2: five k's from the house and the other thing. Paul. 665 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,760 Speaker 2: In nineteen seventy we got the Victorian government to change's 666 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,720 Speaker 2: first date in the world to introduce compulsory seat belts 667 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 2: in the front seat of cars. The deaths more on 668 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 2: ten thirty four. So one O three four, one thousand 669 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 2: and thirty four got killed in nineteen sixty nine on 670 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 2: the Victorian roads. Now it's two hundred and fifty with 671 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:03,240 Speaker 2: nine times as many cars. Wow, why does it work 672 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 2: because the authorities?

I mean, if you 676 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 2: find every person five hundred dollars who had a cigarette 677 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 2: on their person, somebody selling a packet of twenty, that's 678 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,760 Speaker 2: ten grand bank, it's gone. I mean, why dance around 679 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,560 Speaker 2: the edge of banning vaping? Why did you ban the 680 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 2: biggest cancer killer in the world. 681 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, and what would you do about the food supply? 682 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,360 Speaker 2: Number one? I get rid of the ill, he said, 683 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 2: check out check the checkout person at the supmer. There 684 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 2: is a wall at the checkout person of crap. Get 685 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 2: rid of it. I would hide all the confectionery and 686 00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:02,160 Speaker 2: sugar enhanced foods in a back aisle and turn the 687 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 2: lights off. Right. People say, well, you can't ban chocolate 688 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 2: at East the time, I said, well, I know you can't, 689 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 2: but yeah, it's what you get the Easter Bunny on 690 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 2: TV saying hey kids, I just have one of these, 691 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 2: not fifty three. 692 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 1: Well to your point, John, they implemented a sugar tax 693 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 1: in the in the UK on sugary drinks. 694 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 2: Right, thirty five countries of the world with sugar. 695 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, and reduce sugary drink consumption BYuT thirty 696 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 1: five percent. Right, So these public health measures actually work. 697 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 1: But yet in Australia we won't actually implement any sort 698 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,439 Speaker 1: of attacks on healthy foods and then health. 699 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 2: See our Department of Health which is renamed now the 700 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 2: Department of Sickness, I mean the Minister of Health. What 701 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:03,399 Speaker 2: do you know about health? These are politic So what 702 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,440 Speaker 2: you're saying if we don't institute and I'm going to 703 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,840 Speaker 2: a diabetes meeting in ten days time about the things 704 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 2: we can do to stop the it's the biggest health 705 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 2: epidemic now in history. It's diabetes, the biggest health epidemic 706 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 2: in history. It's killing four hundred strains a week. And 707 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 2: unless we cut down the sugar consumption with attax, we 708 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 2: are domb so like to go back to cigarettes. For 709 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,640 Speaker 2: half a minute, the Australian government collects thirteen billion dollars 710 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:49,839 Speaker 2: in taxing people while they kill sixty seven people a day. 711 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 2: They're taxing people killing themself. That tax, you know, a 712 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 2: sugar tax. But what are they going to It's a 713 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 2: bit like the petrol tax. Then you know, what do 714 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 2: they do with the are they're supposed to do up 715 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 2: the roads? We've got the worst roads in Australia. 716 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean this is the key thing is 717 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 1: you've got to reinvest the money in health services. And 718 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,359 Speaker 1: to your point you mentioned it earlier on about sick care. 719 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 1: I don't think we've got a healthcare system in this country. 720 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,799 Speaker 1: We've got a sick care system. I think ninety eight 721 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,800 Speaker 1: and a half percent of all spending is on tertiary treatment. 722 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 1: We wait until people are screwed and then we put 723 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:27,239 Speaker 1: them on medication rather than doing something proactive around it. 724 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,239 Speaker 2: So here's a real question for you, Paul, if you 725 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:36,319 Speaker 2: had the name the number one fault bearer, is it 726 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 2: the individual? Is it the parents, the cares? Is it 727 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 2: the manufacturers of the product? Or is it the government? 728 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:53,800 Speaker 1: Jumping Jesus, you know what I would go for. I 729 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:59,480 Speaker 1: would actually go for the parent, That's what I look. 730 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: Everybody has got has got a role to play in this. 731 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:09,640 Speaker 1: But just because of what I have seen, I would 732 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,799 Speaker 1: say that that, oh Jesus, I mean, look, I mean 733 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 1: everybody's got a part to play in it. I'd have 734 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 1: to really think about that. That was my initial reaction, 735 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,520 Speaker 1: because kids don't so much do what you tell them 736 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,200 Speaker 1: to do, they do what you do, and so I 737 00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 1: think that's pretty big. But you know, food manufacturers, there 738 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 1: they are, they're they're making stuff that they're that you know, 739 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 1: as long as they have corporate interests and for the shareholders, 740 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,880 Speaker 1: you're never going to wipe that out, right, But government 741 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:44,319 Speaker 1: in action is pretty significant. But then that's when you 742 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:48,640 Speaker 1: get into the philosophical debate about free will and choice 743 00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 1: and all of that stuff. So it's a it's a 744 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 1: complex problem. But then there's the individual, Like if they're 745 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:58,160 Speaker 1: not a kid, you know, from from that perspective, kids 746 00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 1: don't know what they're putting into their mind and some 747 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 1: of the issues. So I think a lot of for 748 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,400 Speaker 1: me an individual responsibility is big, but a lot of 749 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 1: people actually don't know about how bad this stuff actually 750 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 1: is for you, right, So I think there needs to 751 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 1: be a massive education program and. 752 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,879 Speaker 2: Individual podcast you and I do that do we get 753 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 2: a TV show called Prevention Comes before Cure or something? Yeah? 754 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 1: Absolutely. But the problem, I think it's a it's a 755 00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 1: big problem, right, because so let's take nutrition and and 756 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:37,000 Speaker 1: here's a big part of the issue that we know. 757 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,440 Speaker 1: We talked about cigarettes. We know some of the world's 758 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 1: biggest food companies were bought by tobacco companies in the 759 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,719 Speaker 1: seventies and eighties, right, you'll know that. And they they 760 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,919 Speaker 1: did the exact same playbook. So they transferred a lot 761 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:57,120 Speaker 1: of knowledge, and they transferred their their their their marketing, 762 00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:02,160 Speaker 1: and their IP and their executives into food and they 763 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:06,840 Speaker 1: did the same playbook. They created an institute called the 764 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:13,800 Speaker 1: International Life Sciences Institute was funded by big food to 765 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:18,400 Speaker 1: pay universities to do research that basically or other people 766 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:22,919 Speaker 1: to do research that clouded people's opinion, right, that put 767 00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:27,600 Speaker 1: some doubt in their minds. And they lobby governments. Right, 768 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,880 Speaker 1: so we know that the big food got the Chinese 769 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:35,080 Speaker 1: government to change their wording on obesity from its food 770 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:39,520 Speaker 1: and diet to its sorry exercise and diet to its 771 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 1: just exercise. And then they throw millions of marketing dollars 772 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,120 Speaker 1: at this thing. Right, So I think that's part of 773 00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:50,759 Speaker 1: the problem is the same, like big food is more 774 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,080 Speaker 1: powerful than big pharma or big tobacco. And I think 775 00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 1: that's a big, big issue today, and the governments won't 776 00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 1: do anything about it. So then you're down to the individual. 777 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:05,279 Speaker 1: And all of this stuff gets heavily marketed. And you 778 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 1: know as well as I do, that this stuff is 779 00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,880 Speaker 1: addictive whenever you eat it. That combination of sugar, fat, salt, 780 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 1: it's the blessed point in the brilliant So I think 781 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,640 Speaker 1: it is. It's an inherently complex problem. 782 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 2: But before we finish, I you just bought up. Yeah, 783 00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:32,160 Speaker 2: we're talking about fixing it. Is a word called incentive. 784 00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:38,200 Speaker 2: Now you're a member of the qualits frequent fliers I 785 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 2: am indeed, okay, and Velocity maybe, and. 786 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,200 Speaker 1: What happened I spend that much time on a plane. 787 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:45,240 Speaker 1: I'm a member of them. 788 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 2: Both, okay. So you're incentivized, but they give give it 789 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,799 Speaker 2: things called points. Yes, and so you can buy a 790 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,719 Speaker 2: toaster for you know, ten thousand points, so you get 791 00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,319 Speaker 2: it upgrade on a plane for fifteen thousand points from 792 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:06,319 Speaker 2: here long or something. So what what I want to 793 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 2: discuss with you next time is incentivising kids and parents 794 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 2: to do some good things. Now, there's another little thing 795 00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,160 Speaker 2: that kids go to bed. Little kids go to bed, 796 00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 2: say before a thirty you must we we must ban 797 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:32,279 Speaker 2: fast food and you know, take away food before a 798 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 2: thirty at night on television. I mean when a child 799 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:41,640 Speaker 2: leaves school they see somewhere between ten and thirty advertisements 800 00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 2: on the back of buses and posters and all that 801 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 2: sort of stuff. And then they get home and turn 802 00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,200 Speaker 2: the TV on they see an average of twenty seven 803 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 2: fast food adds a day, several hundred a week. That 804 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 2: in there imprints. Yeah, so you know, have you ever 805 00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,359 Speaker 2: seen an advertisement I'll be the apple get up and 806 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 2: doing a dance, look at the fiber and me. Anyway, 807 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,399 Speaker 2: that's part of the incentivizing thing. And then the last 808 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,480 Speaker 2: thing I mentioned there are doctors around the world, minions 809 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:14,080 Speaker 2: of doctors who are prescribing medicines, their drugs, their chemicals 810 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,520 Speaker 2: made in laboratories. I've jumped the fence now and I 811 00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:22,440 Speaker 2: prescribe food food as medicine. And so the latest micro 812 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:28,600 Speaker 2: biologic biological if that's a word magic is is the 813 00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:35,400 Speaker 2: fibrous micronutrients in this new food called nutri cane. And 814 00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,920 Speaker 2: I'll send you some stuff about it because an U 815 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,920 Speaker 2: t r okay, And people say, well, you're not lay 816 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,960 Speaker 2: advertised doctors are. I'm telling you that eat some food 817 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:50,520 Speaker 2: every day. It's a drink instead. See when you drink 818 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:55,520 Speaker 2: orange juice, how many oranges have you squeaked? And that? 819 00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:55,919 Speaker 1: Yeah? 820 00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,719 Speaker 2: Six times the calorie. All my fibers in the. 821 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,880 Speaker 1: Dusty, And there's the fruit toos and the impact on 822 00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:05,120 Speaker 1: the fruit toos on the liver and all these polliol 823 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,920 Speaker 1: pathways that just mess. 824 00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you and I can explain to kids and parents, 825 00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:14,359 Speaker 2: what are actual carbo hydrated like the Americans wrecked the word. 826 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,520 Speaker 2: They call them calves as they say thing as a 827 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:21,360 Speaker 2: carb carbs carbon carbon carbohydrate as carbon hydro and oxygen 828 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,680 Speaker 2: hto water. So in you know, if somebody said you've 829 00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,960 Speaker 2: got to drink seven glass of water a day, but 830 00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,840 Speaker 2: that wasn't an Eastern Asian type person, that was an 831 00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:34,920 Speaker 2: American because they ate so much carbs, which has got 832 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:39,279 Speaker 2: the hydrate missing.
