It's simple here. 15 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: And so seriously a lot of people think that, ah yeah, 16 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: look at these people running businesses and they think it's 17 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: just it's pretty cruisy. 18 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 3: Right. There's a lot of challenges, isn't there and running 19 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 3: a business. 20 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, there is, And I think the breakdown for me 21 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: was looking at all the different components of a small 22 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: business and you don't have departments and heads of and 23 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: hundreds of people to do the work. You have all 24 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 2: of these different areas of the business that you need 25 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 2: to do all of the work in and it's a 26 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 2: lot more complicated than it looks from the outside. 27 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, tell us a little bit about your experience 28 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: on Shark Tank. 29 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. 30 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 2: So I went on Shark Tank. We filmed in twenty sixteen, 31 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: and funnily enough, I thought my biggest problem going on 32 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 2: the show was going to be getting home with the 33 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: big check, and I was thinking it'd be one of 34 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: those you know, people sized checks that you get that 35 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: you don't want to fold and put on the plane. 36 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: You want to frame it when you get home. But 37 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 2: unfortunately there was no check, even though there was a 38 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: deal made on air. But I found out much later 39 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: on that out of one hundred episodes that made it 40 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 2: to air in Australia in this particular season, for the 41 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: many seasons of Shark Tank prior to its hiatus and 42 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: coming back again this year, there was fifty of us 43 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 2: roughly that had deals on air, but only three of 44 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 2: us that I saw a dollar to my knowledge, and 45 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 2: that's what the media reported as well. So my experience 46 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 2: certainly wasn't walking out with a check. I had a deal. However, 47 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: the TV show did not go to air for around 48 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: ten months after we filmed, and so I thought it 49 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 2: was actually never going to air. And we were prepping 50 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: that maybe something's going to happen. So every month, without fail, 51 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: they'd say it's going to air this month, and it 52 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: just didn't. The show just didn't start. And even scarier 53 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 2: than that, I think we thought we were going to 54 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: get this money that was going to help us build 55 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 2: the business and scale and knocked on the door of 56 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 2: the investors every single month and it was just a 57 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: flat out no. They'd done due diligence. They closed it. 58 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 2: There was no deal. However, when we finally did go 59 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 2: to air, it beat all of our expectations. So I'd 60 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 2: said to my production manager at the time, let's prepare, 61 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: you know, eight hundred boxes worth of our Beefit Food 62 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 2: Silver Special Box. It's a one week program of food. 63 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: And because this promise kept getting stretched out of when 64 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,839 Speaker 2: we'd go to air, it just I think everyone got 65 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: sick of hearing about it and just thought it's never 66 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: going to happen. So the night that it did go 67 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 2: to air with a week's notice, we're all in shock. 68 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 2: We're like, it's actually on TV. And I remember jumping 69 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: on the Google Analytics and going, oh, well, look there's 70 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: people on the site. The most traffic we'd ever had to. 71 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 2: The site was about thirty to one hundred people and 72 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 2: we had one one thousand, ten thousand, thirty thousand, sixty thousand, 73 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 2: and then all of them trying to add to cart 74 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: at once. And I said to the production manager, gosh, 75 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: that eight hundred, you know, B rapid Programs isn't going 76 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 2: to last as long. How long is it going to 77 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 2: take you to catch up? And he goes he literally 78 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: said this. I thought you were full of shit and 79 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: I only made two hundred. Noh, like you are kidding me. 80 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 2: He goes, well, you've just been talking about this for 81 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 2: so long. I didn't think it was going to happen. 82 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 2: And I'm like, what are we going to do? 83 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 3: And he's like, sorry, how many orders did you get? 84 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: Oh, in the first five minutes, two and a half. 85 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 3: Thousand jump in Jehovah. 86 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. So for next morning, needless to say, I got 87 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 2: in very early to the office, and I was very 88 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: lucky that I had this guck feeling that maybe I 89 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 2: should borrow some void phones voiceover internet phones from a friend, 90 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 2: plug them into all the walls, and send them through 91 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 2: to a call center just in case we got busy. 92 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 2: So sure enough, I get in there, the phones are 93 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 2: going non stop. There's seven of them, there's one of me, 94 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: there's five people in the kitchen, and I thought, what 95 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 2: am I going to do? And by the end of 96 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 2: that first day, I literally called every single person I 97 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 2: know to come and help me, because on the way 98 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: to work that morning, I thought it was particularly busy 99 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 2: on a very quiet road in Mornington, And it was 100 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 2: only when I pulled up out the front to beefit 101 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: food that I recognized they were all queuing up to 102 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 2: pick up their food when the doors opened at nine o'clock. 103 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 2: So by nine oh five we did not have one 104 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 2: meal left in the building, and we still had the 105 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 2: two and a half thousand orders to fulfill online and 106 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: not a meal left. So it was a disaster. And 107 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 2: within four weeks we'd literally gone from having a team 108 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: of five to sixty three people. We'd taken a four 109 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 2: weeks warehousing, We'd take it. We were running everything end end. 110 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: We hadn't at this stage even considered it might have 111 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: been possible to scale fifteen hundred percent overnight, to go 112 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 2: from doing, you know, one thousand to fifteen hundred meals 113 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: a week to thirty thousand meals a week. So we 114 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 2: just blew us all out of the water. And I 115 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 2: cannot thank the Mornington Peninsula community enough for coming to 116 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 2: my aid, just literally to rescue me and go do 117 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 2: you need a van? Do you need workers? Do you 118 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 2: need kitchen space? Do you need labor? Do you need storage? 119 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 2: Do you know? What I needed most of all was 120 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 2: actually power to connect everything to. I kept up blowing 121 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 2: up the power in the building, so I know it 122 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 2: has sixty three amps now because I blow it up 123 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 2: that many times. So we just got warehouse after warehouse, 124 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 2: and I had a freezer, containers plugged into friends car 125 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 2: parks at their pubs. We were using kitchens everywhere, so 126 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 2: it was out of control. 127 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: Got Ego bonkers. 128 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: How long did it take you to get to an 129 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,679 Speaker 1: operational cadence that was reasonably smooth? 130 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 2: Probably six months of backpeddling and literally offering one hundred 131 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 2: percent of customers a refund. And the annoying part of 132 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: that is ninety seven percent of it didn't want a refund. 133 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: They didn't care when we got them the food. They 134 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 2: just wanted the food. And we did have some really 135 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 2: interesting people who called us up and said, you need 136 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: to pay for my wedding. Now I bought a dress 137 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 2: soever many size as smaller and you haven't delivered the food, 138 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 2: and I can't fit in my dress, and you've ruined 139 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: my wedding. And there was lots of interesting cases like 140 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 2: that where people were so dependent on this meal plan 141 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 2: to change their life and change their health and meet 142 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 2: their wildest dreams. And yeah, so it probably took us 143 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 2: two years to then really put all of the systems 144 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 2: and processes in place that are capable now of we 145 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 2: do national home delivery and everything's on a national scale. 146 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 2: We deliver nationally into Woolworths. We serve us over eight 147 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 2: hundred stores, so our online business runs all across Australia 148 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 2: except the Northern Territory. But it was a lot of 149 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 2: hard work to get to that. 150 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: Wo wow, wow, I'm not a lot of sleep for 151 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: quite a while. 152 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 2: Like, not a lot of sleep. 153 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: Let's just wind back because we're recently similar and we're 154 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: both dual qualified in nutrition, you being a dietest and 155 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: me and nutritions, but it also exercise physiologists. I reckon, 156 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: it's a handful of us in Australia. Doctor Nick Kimber 157 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 1: me you, doctor carm McDonald, who's a good man of mine. 158 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 3: There was a lady in Sydney. 159 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got a girlfriend in Sydney. Her name's Joe. 160 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 2: She's dual qualified as well. They're literally only a handful 161 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 2: of people though. 162 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: So tell me what what did that dual qualification? When 163 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: you kind of got the second one number one? 164 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 3: Why did you do it right? 165 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: And then secondly getting that both of those qualifications? How 166 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: did it change your view of things? 167 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 2: So my interest was always in food and nutrition and 168 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 2: my background stories. I had a tumor in my bile 169 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 2: duck from the age of two to nineteen. Unfortunately it 170 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: wasn't diagnosed for seventeen years, so I was in an 171 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 2: out of hospital chronically ill as a child. They told 172 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 2: my parents after eight years of looking that it was 173 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 2: all in my head and I was making it up 174 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: to get out of school. But mom and dad just 175 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 2: knew that didn't add up seeing their daughter throwing up, 176 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 2: not being able to walk, not being able to go 177 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: to school for weeks on end, and knowing that even 178 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 2: back then I was a bit of a type a personality. 179 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 2: I wanted to be at school, I wanted to study, 180 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 2: I wanted to do well, and they just trusted in 181 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 2: the medical community, and unfortunately they got it wrong. I 182 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 2: didn't fit the typical description of someone who would have 183 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 2: this sort of condition, and the condition was really rare anyway, 184 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 2: when they found it, it was two weeks before my 185 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 2: twentieth birthday, and I now have two daughters and orfied 186 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 2: of what's going to happen when they're teenagers. But I 187 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 2: turned around and said to my parents when they found 188 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 2: the tumor, they said, we need a do emergency surgery, 189 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 2: and I said, no, no, no, at a swim suits 190 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 2: modeling Yeah, well that was see, at least you're laughing. 191 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 2: I laughed as well. And I had a swimsuit modeling competition. 192 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 2: I'm like, if you're hacking up my stomach, I am 193 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 2: not like I'm going to do this. After this competition, 194 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 2: I'm in the runners up, and I had a girlfriend judging, 195 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 2: and I was like, I've got this in the bag. 196 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 2: So that was week one and week two was actually 197 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 2: my twentieth birthday, and I'd already booked a party at 198 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 2: the Italian restaurant, which is one of the seven casual 199 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 2: jobs I had at the time, and Mum and dad 200 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 2: had hired a little band with UK ladies and bits 201 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 2: and pieces, and I said, I'm not going to hospital 202 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 2: until I've had my party. And so sure enough, that 203 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 2: night of my birthday, the day before the operation, I 204 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 2: did end up in hospital and really really sick, but 205 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 2: I came out the next day. I tried to run 206 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 2: away my problems. I think that's when I really recognized 207 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 2: the power of exercise for changing your giving space. Clarity, 208 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: but that positivity, that mental boost that you go looking for. 209 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: So I didn't know why I was running. I just 210 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 2: knew that if I ran, I would be able to 211 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 2: cope with the idea that I was going in for 212 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 2: surgery tomorrow. There was a ten percent chance of death, 213 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 2: thought that it wouldn't work, and I you know that 214 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 2: sort of thing. And yeah, that was the longest run 215 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 2: I'd ever done in my life. I wasn't much of 216 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 2: a runner, but I knew it made me feel good 217 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 2: and that sort of prepped me to be in that 218 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 2: headspace to go in for surgery. So that was my 219 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 2: passion for nutrition because I was always told either I 220 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: was eating something that was making me sick, So I'm like, 221 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 2: what is it's poisonous food that's trying to kill me? 222 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 2: Or that it was in my head and so interesting 223 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 2: food and the interest and exercise was really that. I 224 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 2: just knew that when I exercised, I felt good as 225 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 2: an acrobat as a kid. And then I went on 226 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,359 Speaker 2: to teach acrobatics and it was fun. I loved being outside. 227 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 2: I did out red and PA at school. So yeah, 228 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 2: I did the double degree and then went on to 229 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 2: do the Masters, and then went on to do diabetes 230 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 2: education because I actually couldn't understand why you could fix 231 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 2: type two diabetes with either food or exercise, yet people 232 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 2: were going on medication instead of food or exercise. I 233 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 2: had to do that course so I could understand why 234 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 2: that was even a consideration. When you had people that 235 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 2: were within their first you know, four to five years 236 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 2: of being diagnosed and they've never tried changing diet or exercise. 237 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: It's amazing, isn't it, And when they were, and particularly 238 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: when you know this is a very controllable disease and 239 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: if you don't control it, it's a freakin horrendous disease. 240 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 2: Right. I lost three people in a year. So one 241 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 2: is still alive, he's just lost a leg, but the 242 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 2: other two actually died. So they had all three had 243 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 2: amputations within twelve months, and only one of them is 244 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 2: still alive today and that was probably five years ago. 245 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: This is the thing that people with diabetes, and I 246 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: think it's because it's so common that people kind of 247 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: go ia. You can money, sat with medication and stuff, 248 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: but they don't realize, like the last couple of years 249 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: was diabetes is horandous, right, Yeah, amputations going blind, you know, 250 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: basically rotting from the inside out. 251 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 2: His arts they smelled, Yeah, that is exactly what happened 252 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 2: that my very very dear friend Dennis. I would meet 253 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 2: him once a month for coffee. I used to personal 254 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 2: train him twenty years prior. He was a pilot, he 255 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 2: had his own printing business. He was just at the 256 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 2: top of the world in his forties, and his doctor 257 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 2: said to him, if you don't change your habits and behaviors, 258 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 2: this is what's going to happen to you, and you're 259 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 2: going to die of a heart attack. And twenty years later, 260 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 2: we're sitting there. He's had his first amputation. He's on 261 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 2: renal dialysis of five hours, three times a week. He 262 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 2: can barely leave his House's clinically blind, his flesh is rotting, 263 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 2: and he would just sit having coffee with me, and 264 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 2: he'd apologize for the smell, and I'd say, that's I 265 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 2: get it, Like I've known you for so long, this 266 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 2: is so unfair, and he goes, but my doctor told 267 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: me so, he told me this was going to happen. 268 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 2: And we lost him around I think it was Boxing 269 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 2: Day a few years ago, and he was only in 270 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 2: his sixties, and it was a really horrible last few years, 271 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 2: socially isolating, horrible. 272 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is very, very horrible. 273 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: Let's talk about diabeesity, Yeah, because and the interactions between 274 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: those things. So firstly, just just explain to people diabesity 275 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: why we have that term diversity first and foremost, and 276 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: then we'll kind of dig into what we're doing wrong 277 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: around disurreica. 278 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. What I find really interesting is that you don't 279 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 2: need to be overweight to have diabetes, or not all 280 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 2: overweight people have type two diabetes. However, there is definitely 281 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 2: a crossover and a link, and that link is insulin resistance. 282 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 2: The moment that your interlin levels start going too high 283 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 2: and your body, your metabolism is unable to really process 284 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 2: energy in the body because it is stuffing energy into 285 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 2: all the wrong areas in the body, so it could 286 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 2: be the liver around the organs of visceral organs and 287 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 2: not just subcutaneously, or if it is subcutaneous, it's bursting out. 288 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 2: So people can be skinny fast or toffee thin on 289 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 2: the outside, but on the inside. And I think diabesity 290 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 2: is really that crossover where people have both and people 291 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 2: sit on both ends of that spectrum where they have 292 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 2: neither or they have one or the other. But that 293 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 2: crossover point is really where I think you see this 294 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 2: emergence over the last two decades with overweight and obesity 295 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 2: rate skyrocketing, and particularly in children and teenagers. Now it's 296 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: around twenty five percent. So it's pretty scary thinking that 297 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 2: back in our day at school, it would have been 298 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 2: less than maybe five to ten percent. It was pretty 299 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 2: pretty low. And I can think about being at school 300 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 2: and really it wasn't an issue for anyone at all. 301 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 2: It was very, very uncommon. And then having this diagnosis 302 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 2: of one person every five minutes with diabetes in Australia, 303 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 2: won every twenty seconds in America and won every seven 304 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 2: seconds over the world basically, so it is such an 305 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 2: epidemic that is not getting the attention that it needs. 306 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 2: And I think even in Australia, for every five people 307 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 2: that are diagnosed, four people are undiagnosed. 308 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: Walking around with it either diabetes, right, So it's not 309 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: just it's not just the diabetes as well. 310 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 3: You said there's epidemic. 311 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: We know nigh that there's another epidemic of Alzheimer's and 312 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: other forms of dementia, which lots of researchers called dementia 313 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: or Alzheimer's disease type three diabetes. Absolutely, because the etiology 314 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: of the disease is how they occur are pretty much identically. 315 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 3: It's just metabolism being destroyed. 316 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: We nine are in Australia that Alzheimer's and other forms 317 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: of dementia are know the biggest killer of females for 318 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: the first time ever, and I think it's the second 319 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: killer biggest kill of all Australians was it. 320 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 3: Wasn't even in the top ten fifteen years ago. 321 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 2: It is really terrifying because I think the thing that 322 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 2: scares me most I remember it scared my grandmother. It 323 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 2: scared my mother was actually forgetting who your family were. 324 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 2: And we all said, if we got to that point, 325 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 2: there was a way to turn off the switch. Turn 326 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 2: off the switch and that could be upsetting for people 327 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 2: to hear that I've recently lost my mum to no 328 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 2: known cause, and I lost my grandmother, and we all 329 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 2: had a pact that if that was something that happened. 330 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 2: Unfortunately it didn't happen to any of us. But my 331 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 2: biggest I guess the only comfort that I have in 332 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 2: losing my mum to no known cause, who was really 333 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 2: fit and healthy, was she lived her best life every 334 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 2: single day. She had absolutely no regrets, and she didn't 335 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 2: suffer from any of these pretty inevitable, you know, deaths 336 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 2: in Western country horrible. 337 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: I've always said that Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, 338 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: there's a one disease that scores the Jesus Oe of me. 339 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 3: And I said to the. 340 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: Day I don't recognize her and my kids sticking out 341 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: over my head. 342 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 3: No, I know you do not want to do that. 343 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 2: We've got a similar rule. Yep. 344 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: It's just a button, absolutely absolutely so. Actually a little 345 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: side because I I did a podcast just this week 346 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: and I'm writing an article for LinkedIn about the hidden 347 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: dangers in the body positivity movement. Right, so that body 348 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: positivity movement, I think everybody's aware about it's all about 349 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: embracing all body types. And it's and whilst that is 350 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: a good thing for people to embrace body types, particularly 351 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,959 Speaker 1: people you know who are different smatotypes, we know that 352 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: there are people who will just never be able to 353 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: be that thin thing thing that's doing a little thing 354 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: that they say, right. But I think there is a 355 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: hidden dark side of this because the research shows that 356 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,239 Speaker 1: because of the body positivity movement and everybody just embrace it, 357 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: it's okay whatever shape, people are not occurring less and 358 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: obesity is getting worse. And I think it has to 359 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,479 Speaker 1: come with a buyer be war right, it has to 360 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: come with hey, yes, it's it's okay, you know, to 361 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: be different body ships. However, know that if you are obese, 362 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,479 Speaker 1: you dramatically increase your risk for this disease, that disease. 363 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 2: The other the top thirteen cancers are related to obesity. 364 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 2: You've got thirteen cancers and cancer Cancel Australia actually approached 365 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 2: me to help them when they were being challenged by 366 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 2: particular body in Australia for running a campaign on television 367 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 2: about sugar and overweight, particularly sugar causing cancer. And I 368 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 2: actually had to get rid of the campaign because they 369 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 2: were threatened by. 370 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 3: Group by big food. 371 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 2: No big food, no body positivity exactly. 372 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 3: Right. 373 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: And this is the issue, right, and this is where 374 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: we need to have a really nuanced conversation around stuff, right, 375 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: is that you can't say anything now because of the 376 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: the noisy few. 377 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 3: Who are gone. You can't do that. You can't say that. 378 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: But it's just got to be we have to make 379 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 1: people are ware of the risks. And whilst it's not 380 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 1: all about being skinny, I always say to people you 381 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: can be over weird, but if you're over weird, you 382 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: have to be fit. 383 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 2: You have to have to be fitit it's not about weight. 384 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 2: It is about your cellular health. At the end of 385 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,239 Speaker 2: the day, how do you process glucose, what are your 386 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 2: fasting insulin levels? Do you have signs of fatty liver? 387 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 2: If you all those things are well, and that's fine. 388 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 2: It actually does not matter what your weight is. And 389 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 2: there are genetic statistics around this too. I think something 390 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 2: on the lines of twenty percent of people that are 391 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 2: healthy weight still suffer metabolic syndrome, whereas out of the 392 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 2: sixty seven to seventy percent of people that are overweight nobs, 393 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 2: there is a significant proportion of them that actually are 394 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 2: not affected by their weight tiber does any issues. 395 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's that I am in violent agreement with you. 396 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: I mean, we know metabolic syndrome is you know, it 397 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: is the big driver of many many diseases. So it's 398 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: it's not so much about your way, although when you 399 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: do become a base then it's it's pretty hard to 400 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: still be healthy unless you're very, very fit, which is 401 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: very unusual. But it is about metabolism, and you can't 402 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: look under the hood. 403 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 3: That's the thing. Now. 404 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: We can do lots of diagnostic tests and stuff like that, but. 405 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 3: It was interesting. I remember I was doing my master's 406 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 3: many many years ago. 407 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 4: One of the medical people who was doing running one 408 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 4: of the courses said, the last thing to go in 409 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 4: metabolism is blood sugar. 410 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: Once your blood sugar starts to go up, you are 411 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: metabolically goosed already. 412 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 3: Right, That's one of the key thing. And the liver 413 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 3: really takes the brunt of it. And it was interesting. 414 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 3: I was listening to a really interesting. 415 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: Podcast with Peter a Tea with the liver Expert, who 416 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: saying that that at least thirty percent of the population 417 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 1: of walking around with undiagnosed and liver disease, and you 418 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: know they can have fat in their liver or their 419 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: liver can be metapholically onhealthy I've actually just gone and 420 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: booked and I'm a healthy guy, but I've just booked 421 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: in for something called the fiber scan. 422 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 3: I find Jesus, where can you get a liver scan? 423 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 3: And you can actually do it without a referral? 424 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: Right, So it's it's like, because I'm all about that 425 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: proactive stuff, I went, I saw a me and the 426 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 1: mine who's a cardiologist, got everything done for me. Let's 427 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: work out how your liver's working, understanding your kidney function, 428 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: but not just the blood test, because those blood tests 429 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: don't tell you everything. You want to ask and see 430 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: how your liver is functioning with a skill. 431 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I had full BODYMRIS, I had CT scans of 432 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 2: my lungs, my brain, thyroids. I've had every test imaginable 433 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 2: and I still have because of the tumor that was 434 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 2: in the bile duct many years ago. One of the 435 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 2: studies that's came out about the condition that I had 436 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 2: is at the recurrence rate and they've only just sort 437 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 2: of published this a couple of years ago. Of this 438 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 2: particular condition after twenty five years is thirty percent, But 439 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 2: the thirty percent of people that are recursing, it's ninety 440 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 2: percent fatal for And as soon as I read that, 441 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 2: I went and booked in with my specialist. I've had 442 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 2: all my pancreatic checks and I've got a dilated pancreatic duck, 443 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 2: but I'm aware of it. There's nothing there yet, but 444 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 2: it's on surveillance because it's about how things change over time, 445 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 2: and a lot of people are scared to get the 446 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 2: first scans done because they think it's going to reveal 447 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 2: something that's going to stop them being able to have 448 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 2: whatever they want to have a beer or have a 449 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 2: cheese platter or eat something, so they won't take the 450 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 2: first steps. But I always say, it's not the first 451 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 2: tests that matter. It's that is your benchmark for moving forward. 452 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 2: It's the next lot of tests and what you do 453 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 2: with that information that matters the most. 454 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, So tell us what do you think? 455 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: Where are we going wrong with the whole diabeesity. 456 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more about it. It being a metabolism 457 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 2: and an insulin resistance and actually just a fit and 458 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 2: healthy lifestyle that you need to prioritize moving your body 459 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 2: and putting in good fuel. You can do whatever else 460 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 2: you want your body and it will probably cope. And 461 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 2: they talk about this even with you know, should I 462 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 2: drink alcohol, Well, it depends what else you're eating and 463 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 2: how much you're exercising. So yes, it will have an 464 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 2: impact on an unhealthy metabolism and someone who doesn't move, 465 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 2: but someone who's fitting healthy it'll have far less of 466 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 2: an impact on. So if you're wanting to a really 467 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 2: full life and enjoy all of the things, then you 468 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 2: actually need to prioritize and think about compensation theory too. 469 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 2: And a lot of people after a big weekend, we've 470 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 2: all just had a long weekend. Tier in most of 471 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 2: the states around Australia who did their intermittent fasting on 472 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 2: Tuesday or you know, had one of those really light 473 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 2: days making sure that they got out and moved more, 474 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 2: they ate less, they drank plenty of fluids, and they 475 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 2: had an alcohol free day. I hope everyone did, but 476 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 2: if they didn't, then they need to think about this 477 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 2: compensation theory. Whatever you want to do, whenever you want 478 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 2: to do it, but there is a repercussion. 479 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: I have been a lifelong triato. Right at compensation theory, 480 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: I've just called myself a treat, and you know, I'm 481 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,479 Speaker 1: ARISMX military drunk. 482 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 3: I'm a lot better. 483 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: Now than I was a few years ago, but I 484 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: still have a thing that if I am going to drink, 485 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 1: and particularly if I'm going to give it a nudge, 486 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 1: then I have to work out beforehand, and I get 487 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: up the next morning early, and I do a hard workout, 488 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: and Cardios is continually shocked that you know, if I 489 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: give it a real nudge, I'll still get up and 490 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: I'll still do a hard workout, and then I jump 491 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: in the cold star or a cool swimming pool, because 492 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: for a couple of reasons. Number one, it's about resetting absolutely. Secondly, 493 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 1: it's so that one bad day doesn't turn into two 494 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: or three because you know how many people listening. Everybody's 495 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: done right, You have a skin food, you feel shit, 496 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: you lie in bed half the next day and you 497 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: eat shit food, right, and then that one bad night 498 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: has turned into another bad day. 499 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 3: And often that one turns into a third one. 500 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, So my rule for that is, if I 501 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 2: go out, I have more than drinks, I leave my 502 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,360 Speaker 2: car wherever I am, and then I need a run 503 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 2: back and get it nice nice, So don't drink too 504 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 2: far from home. It's a pretty tough. 505 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 3: Big night in and your goosehe yeah, yeah. 506 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 2: So I think that's really important. I think that is 507 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 2: that whole concept of resetting is really important to me too. 508 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 2: You can reset after a weekend, but I think even 509 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 2: in our normal, everyday lives, we all need a reset. 510 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 2: Things creep in. I know for me it's sweets after 511 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 2: dinner having and the more you do it, the more 512 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 2: you want it, the more of a habit it becomes. 513 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 2: So you need to do a reset every I think 514 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 2: it's every sixty to ninety days because once a season 515 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 2: you have Christmas, Easter, Birthdays, big holidays, big events. So 516 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 2: without fail, habits sneak in that may not have been there. 517 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 2: It could be just the glass of wine that you 518 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 2: have after work and it was a few nights a week, 519 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 2: and then it's every night of the week and people say, 520 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 2: is there anything wrong with that? Well, take a month 521 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 2: off and tell me how you feel. Then tell me 522 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 2: if there was anything wrong with that. Like, you don't 523 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 2: know what feeling well is until you're in those shoes 524 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 2: and you're doing it absolutely. 525 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: How many people do you hear that they change things 526 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: and they go cheeses. I cannot believe that I existed. 527 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: I exist, But I think it's a really good point. 528 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 3: Right. 529 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: We can't be puritanical about this. And I certainly do 530 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: not live the lifestyle of somebody who is always doing 531 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: the right thing. But I do two things I earn 532 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: the right to do. So if I know I'm going out, 533 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: I'll have a good day a couple of days before, 534 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: and particularly if I'm going away on a trip or something, 535 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: make sure that I'm in really good ship when I go, 536 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: And then when I'm there, I'm exercising every day. 537 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 3: Right. 538 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: I was with a bunch of guys. We went out 539 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: to Queenstown, had a great golf trip. There was a few. 540 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 3: Beers drunk, but every morning I get up on a 541 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 3: for a run. 542 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: And because it's just like you've just got to get 543 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: stuff in the bank, you've got a balance, stuff out, 544 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: and it just start to get that habit. 545 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 3: And I think, as you said, if. 546 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: We then take those behaviors and we extend them like 547 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: one week's not going to make. 548 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 3: A huge difference. But if that's a habit. 549 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: Chill thing, if you're doing it or not doing it, 550 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: we'll have a massive, massive difference over your life. 551 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 2: Do you know The other thing that I found with 552 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 2: clients over the years is there portion control slips over time. 553 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 2: And I'm not a big believer in portion control as 554 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 2: a way of managing weight because I have these huge, 555 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 2: big portions of many, many cups of food, but it's 556 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 2: all the right foods. Where there's an issue with portion 557 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 2: is that part of the meal that goes with the 558 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 2: veggies and salads. So my rule is never ever portion 559 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 2: control your low car veggie salads, with your olive oil 560 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 2: and your nut seeds, all your healthy fats and your 561 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 2: protein will portion control itself. How much protein can one 562 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 2: person actually eat? The only thing that really needs portion 563 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 2: control is process carbohydrates and sugars. They're addictive. They get 564 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 2: converted primarily into body fat, and people don't recognize that. 565 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 2: They go No, they're fuel, and I'm like, they're fuel 566 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 2: for someone who is not eating much. Most people eat 567 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 2: too much, so they're actually something that gets stored in 568 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 2: the sixty seven percent of people that are overweight. No bees, 569 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 2: you don't get a chance to burn them off. The 570 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 2: insulin levels are too high in the bloodstream, they convert 571 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 2: them to body fat, and because of that, it suppresses 572 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 2: our leptin, and our leptin is our hormone that tells 573 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 2: us where we're full, and we don't get that signal 574 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 2: of fullness we should be getting because of the blockages 575 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 2: from the fat storage hormone insulin, which is triggered by 576 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 2: eating too much processed food and particularly carbohydrates and sugars. 577 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, and to the point that you said earlier on 578 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: about the interaction with exercise, so we know, I know, 579 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: recent studies have shown that obese and particularly diabetics have 580 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: got a lot of intramuscular fats, so they got a 581 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: lot of fat. 582 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 3: Within their muscle. 583 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: But it turns out recent research so to athletes, particularly 584 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: endurance athletes. But the difference is it's pathological in the 585 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: OBEs or diabetic, whereas it's physiological in the athletes that 586 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: it's there and the athlete uses it as a ready 587 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: fuel source for the muscle. And that just shows the 588 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: interaction between exercise and food on a level that we 589 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: never knew existed until very recently. 590 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 2: Right absolutely, and along that very same vein is the 591 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 2: how calories are not really important anymore. People place all 592 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 2: these emphasis on how many calories are in something, and 593 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 2: there's been so many shamp studies to show it is 594 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 2: the type of food that matters most. We are not 595 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 2: bomb calorie, that is, we don't you don't put food 596 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 2: in this and it explodes into calories. 597 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: That's what it's really worthwhile. I think educating people on 598 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: how they estimate the calories of food and at water chambers, right, 599 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: you just explain to people how when they look at 600 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: the back of the park and it says expo calories, 601 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: where does that come from? 602 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 2: They put it into a machine that basically just burns 603 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 2: that energy and or burns the food and tells us 604 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 2: how much energy is in the food from combustion, right 605 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 2: from combustion and our bodies. We now know we have 606 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 2: this gut microbiome. We now know that we are so 607 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 2: much more complex than that. We've got all these chemicals 608 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 2: and hormones. We've got different bacteria that take a different 609 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 2: amount of calories from food that two people could eat 610 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 2: exactly the same meal. But if people have more firm 611 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 2: acuities and they do acamancas and lacto vessels and bifrobacterms 612 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 2: and all these healthy bacteria versus less healthy bacteria, they 613 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 2: may absorb more or less calories out of their food. 614 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 2: And then when it comes down to inflammation as well 615 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 2: and insulin resistance, that's blocking people's ability to actually be 616 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 2: able to use that energy from food. It will get 617 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 2: stored in some people, whereas other people will get the 618 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 2: chance to burn it off. And this is why I'm 619 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 2: such a big advocate for exercise, because if you're moving 620 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 2: the muscles, like you said, if you're turning over that 621 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 2: intramuscular fat, then you're just good at burning fat from energy. 622 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 2: But people that are not turning that over it is pathological. 623 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 2: It causes inflammation, and it leads to eventually sell death 624 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 2: mitochondrial death. You've got people then that have all this 625 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 2: energy in their body that they can't access. They're tired 626 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 2: all the time, they can't get off the couch, but 627 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 2: they're so blocked with energy, but they have no access 628 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 2: to that energy. 629 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 3: Because it's a really good point. 630 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 1: And then that visceral fati the listeners is the fact 631 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: that you can't pinch. It's the stuff that's underneath your 632 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 1: stomach muscles and surround your organs that is actually an 633 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,359 Speaker 1: endocrine organ right, So it gives it creates its own 634 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 1: hormones called out of the kinds that then drive inflammation, 635 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: and as you said, then that blocks our ability to 636 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: use that energy. 637 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 3: So you get all this energy that you just can't access. 638 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 3: And then you know, if you're eating. 639 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 1: A lot of fructose, you're activating the Pollo pathway, which 640 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: then creates a metabolic crisis in the cell. So your 641 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,760 Speaker 1: energy in your mitochondria drops and then that's stimulate shitty 642 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: eat more. So there's so much really complicated biochemistry that 643 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:46,720 Speaker 1: that's actually happening. 644 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 3: All about metabolism, right, to. 645 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 2: Get back around, and not to do with calories. So, 646 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 2: and here's the most simple analogy I could give. You 647 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 2: could give someone a thousand calories a day of chocolate 648 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 2: or a thousand calories a day of broccoli. Then look 649 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 2: at what happens inside their body and how that is processed. 650 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 2: What hormones is that stimulating, what chemical processes, what's actually 651 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 2: going through the gut, what's getting into the gut microbiome, 652 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 2: what's who's feeding off? Right, that's right, yeah, and what 653 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 2: impact is that having on our mental health? So when 654 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 2: people look at food and they look at the calories, 655 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 2: I'm like, what is the point. Just read the ingredients list. 656 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 2: If it is full of things that you don't know 657 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 2: what they are, or they're highly processed, don't eat it. 658 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 2: Don't worry about what the calories are because you're not 659 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 2: this little machine that blows up calories. That's not what 660 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 2: you are. You're a human being. And I've got this 661 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,439 Speaker 2: crazy philosophy that we are our cells in our body. Right, 662 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 2: any cell that is living moves when you put it 663 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 2: under a microscope. When we eat real foods and plant 664 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 2: based foods and meat, dairy, those sorts of things, it 665 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 2: moves under a microscope. When we get a wheat box, 666 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 2: so we get a corn flake, it doesn't move under 667 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 2: the microscope. There is no activity going on under there. 668 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 2: It is dead. It has been dead for a very 669 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 2: long time, and last time it was living it was 670 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 2: a long long time ago. 671 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 3: So zombie food, right, zombie zombi food. 672 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 2: So whatever is in food, there's some component of it 673 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 2: that as living beings, we need some of this life 674 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 2: that is in the food. And that is not something violated. 675 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 2: It's not a vitamin, it's not a mineral, it's not 676 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,720 Speaker 2: a fiber. It is something that is the difference between 677 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 2: life and death, and if we knew what that was, 678 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 2: nobody would die. But we don't. So there's something important 679 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,320 Speaker 2: in living food that I just don't think we've identified. 680 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, as you said, lots of talk about 681 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 1: vitamins and minerals. We know, I know that real foods 682 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: have got thousands of polyphenols and fleavonoids that act as 683 00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: enzymes and cool factors for chemical reactions, right, And this 684 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: is I think the point. I think it's a nice 685 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: segue into the amount of ultraprocessed food that we're eating. 686 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: That we have co existed with all of these plants 687 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,280 Speaker 1: and meat and fish for hundreds of thousands of years 688 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: and our ancestors way back and on. Our metabolism interacts 689 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: with those little tiny compounds and enzymes and core factors. 690 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: Whereas all of this factory made ultra processed food that 691 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: is either never been alive it's just zombie stuff is 692 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,839 Speaker 1: very very different in terms of the impact that it. 693 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 3: Has on our tabolism. 694 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, And you couldn't have said that more clearly that 695 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, people don't need to 696 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 2: know much when it comes to health other than eating 697 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 2: unprocessed food, which just means food that you buy from 698 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 2: the perimeters of the supermarket. So seventy five percent of 699 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 2: the food in the supermarket is processed. Don't touch it. 700 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 2: You don't need to go to those aisles. Everything you 701 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 2: need should be around the outside. And if you need 702 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 2: to go to those aisles to get maybe some tinned 703 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 2: beans or tin lent tools, or canned tomatoes or things 704 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 2: are going to make meals a little bit more flavorful 705 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 2: or quick and easy to prepare, go for it. But 706 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 2: that meal still needs to be made of predominantly those 707 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 2: living things that are around the outside of the supermarket. 708 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 2: And if that's all you take away from this podcast, 709 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 2: you will live a much longer, healthier life and you'll 710 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 2: probably never have problems with weight management or diabetes. 711 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: I can't remember who it was who said Michael Pollan, 712 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 1: I think it was he said, just eat real food. 713 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 1: Real food doesn't have ingredients. Real food is ingredients. 714 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no You don't need to understand the food label. 715 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 2: Don't even try. If it doesn't have a label, it's 716 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,399 Speaker 2: good for you. If it has a label, just don't 717 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 2: read it doesn't matter. 718 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 3: That's it. 719 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 1: And look when you run by the eay twenty room, right, 720 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,439 Speaker 1: because everybody needs a little bit of well, you don't 721 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 1: need it, but in terms of sustainability, and we use 722 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 1: the early twenty room. Eighty percent of the stuff that 723 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: goes in your gub on a daily basis include liquids, 724 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 1: which is really important, right, yes, should have been alive 725 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 1: recently and minimally interfered with by humans. And the other 726 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 1: twenty percent you treat food that now that brings us 727 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: in because we talked about calories. Kevin Hall ran a 728 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: study you're probably familiar with it where they took a 729 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 1: bunch of people and put them in a metabolic ward 730 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 1: where they could control everything they did. 731 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 3: Half of them were on an. 732 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 1: Ultra processed food diet and the other half were on 733 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,840 Speaker 1: a healthy diet that was matched for fat, carbohydrate, protein 734 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 1: that they basically said to them, eat what you need 735 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 1: to feel seated. 736 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 3: And the people eating the ultraprocessed foods. 737 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: Had at five hundred calories a day more than those 738 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: on a healthy diet. 739 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 3: And then the beautiful. 740 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:47,240 Speaker 1: Design they swamped them over and exactly the same thing happened. 741 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 1: And what we now know these foods are essentially predigested 742 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,839 Speaker 1: and you harvest more energy out of them. 743 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 3: And there are scientists all. 744 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 1: Around the world where these big food companies work looking 745 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 1: at the blessed point that combination of fat, salt, and sugar, 746 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 1: any two of those three that hijack your reward systems 747 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: and pringles got it neeled once. 748 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,240 Speaker 3: You stop all of this stuff. 749 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 2: That and buttered popcorn. 750 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,320 Speaker 1: Indeed, But this is the thing that people don't understand 751 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 1: is that not only do you harvest more energy from 752 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: this food, but it then drives and behavior because of 753 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: the impact that it has on your reward system that 754 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 1: makes you create more of it. 755 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, And the interesting thing I heard the other day 756 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 2: is so dopamine is for our pleasure and it's reward 757 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 2: and it's triggered by food. Serotonin is happiness. And I 758 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,280 Speaker 2: heard someone saying, I thought this was fascinating. Is we 759 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 2: are no longer as happy as we used to be. 760 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 2: We are seeking pleasure. We are pleasure seeking. We've forgotten 761 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,280 Speaker 2: what happiness is because happiness is not stimulated by food. 762 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 2: Pleasure is stimulated by food. Exercise, on the other hand, 763 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 2: so that serotonin release that you can get from the 764 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 2: sunshine and being around other people, that's social interaction, that's 765 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 2: that's the happiness. The serotonin's a happiness. Dopaminees a pleasure 766 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 2: from the sugar and whatever else we choose to have. 767 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: And the other thing that dilpamine does is when you're 768 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,240 Speaker 1: having a tim tarm, Delpamine's going. 769 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:30,720 Speaker 3: Where's the next one? Yes, the right, we have a drink. 770 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 3: Dilpa means going worse the next one? Have we got 771 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 3: a bottle? Have we got a six pack? Right? 772 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,800 Speaker 1: Is it all directed behavior and motivation? So it's it's 773 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,319 Speaker 1: all about more and more and more and more and more. 774 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 1: That's what delpa means interested in. 775 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,840 Speaker 2: And I've got a feeling is that the nuclear sircumbence 776 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,880 Speaker 2: in brain there's an area of the brain where we're 777 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:55,919 Speaker 2: supposed to dull down pleasure from things. And what that 778 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 2: means is the more tim tims you have, the less 779 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 2: pleasure you have, the more you need to eat. 780 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:06,279 Speaker 1: So what we actually know from neuroscience experiments, and this 781 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 1: was initially done on drugs, but you see the CM 782 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,400 Speaker 1: with food is that people who take a lot of 783 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:17,840 Speaker 1: drugs or eat a lot of particularly ultra processed foods, 784 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:22,520 Speaker 1: you see the amount of dopamine receptors become reduced in 785 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,439 Speaker 1: the reward parts of the brain, so that the means 786 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: because it's basically gone, whoa, this is just out of limits. 787 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 1: So the brain actually reacts to that by reducing the 788 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,880 Speaker 1: amount of receptors, which means that you need more to 789 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,840 Speaker 1: get the same amount of pleasure. And what we know 790 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: from animal studies then, and actually humans and alcoholics is 791 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 1: their offspring will be born with less dopamine receptors, so 792 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:54,319 Speaker 1: they become pleasure seekers. So that's an epigenetic change, not 793 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 1: a genetic change. And we see this happening now with people. 794 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 1: If your mother or father was an alcoholic, you're. 795 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 3: More likely to be an alcoholic or a drug addict. 796 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 1: And if they were obese, you are more likely to 797 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 1: overeat and be predisposed to alcoholism and drug addiction because 798 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 1: of those ACTI generic changes that have passed from generation 799 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:17,280 Speaker 1: to generation. 800 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 2: Well, this sounds all really hard and miserable for the 801 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:24,160 Speaker 2: people listening today, you. 802 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 1: Know, it's that whole buyer be worthing right. It's just like, 803 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:34,360 Speaker 1: understand what's happening not just to the metabolism in your body, 804 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,960 Speaker 1: as you so eloquently explained earlier on, but the changes 805 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,319 Speaker 1: that are happening in the brain as well, and how 806 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,399 Speaker 1: that affects future behavior. I think that's really the key 807 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:45,880 Speaker 1: thing for people to understand. 808 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:50,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and my take on this from living a life 809 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 2: where you feel that you have freedom, pleasure, happiness, joy 810 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,799 Speaker 2: in that you're not missing out on anything. Using your 811 00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,040 Speaker 2: eighty twenty rule, I call it a ninety ten. I 812 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 2: feel like my ten percent is probably more indulgent. But 813 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:14,240 Speaker 2: for me, that ninety percent is all those real foods plants, vegetables, salads, fruits, meat, fish, chicken, eggs, nuts, 814 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,799 Speaker 2: all of that olive oils on a daily basis, and 815 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:22,960 Speaker 2: I will always give up that processed component, that carbohydrate part, 816 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:27,000 Speaker 2: whether it's a rice, pasta, the bread, the wrap, unless 817 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,640 Speaker 2: I'm using that as my pleasure part. If that's my 818 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 2: ten percent, So I would rather have the piece of 819 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,520 Speaker 2: sour dough after dinner with a piece of blue cheese, 820 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,240 Speaker 2: then have the same amount of pasta inside the bolonnai sauce. 821 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,160 Speaker 2: Give me the bolonn ai sauce on a big bowl 822 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,840 Speaker 2: of steam veggies or a big salad or something like that, 823 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 2: not have my two to four cups of veggie salad 824 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,400 Speaker 2: and the bolonnaise with all the delicious things in it, 825 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,560 Speaker 2: even the red wine, the bolonni sauce, but I would 826 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 2: more than likely not want to waste my cup of 827 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,680 Speaker 2: pasta in there. I'd rather have the sourdough and the 828 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:01,400 Speaker 2: blue cheese when I finish. So I use my my 829 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 2: pleasure food as true pleasure food instead of beach a staple. Yeah, 830 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 2: I don't waste my pleasure on staples. I know that 831 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,800 Speaker 2: I'm having that good food and I never feel deprived. 832 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,160 Speaker 2: Money magnum it is. 833 00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,360 Speaker 1: I'm the same with the early twenty one breakfast cereal 834 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:21,520 Speaker 1: or alcohol. 835 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,360 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yeah, after dinner breakfast cereal. 836 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. And I have a rule, unless it is somebody 837 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:34,040 Speaker 1: close to me's birsty, I do not eat desserts. 838 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:39,560 Speaker 3: I trade the dessert for wine. Right, So that's similar stuff. 839 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,319 Speaker 1: Let's know, look, I think we have to have to 840 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,359 Speaker 1: have to have to because we're talking about metabolism, we're 841 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:46,520 Speaker 1: talking about quick fixes. 842 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:48,240 Speaker 3: We got to talk about a zempic. 843 00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:55,320 Speaker 1: Yes, so give us your tick on this stuff, because 844 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 1: like it's gone crazy, it's going absolutely crazy. 845 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,439 Speaker 3: There are so many people on it, lots of people 846 00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:03,279 Speaker 3: are losing with it. 847 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:07,400 Speaker 1: And then there's some studies coming out saying potentially protective 848 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,600 Speaker 1: against type disease and things like that, and they don't 849 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,360 Speaker 1: do studies are being. 850 00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 3: Happily promoted by the companies. We actually know that's going on. 851 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,239 Speaker 1: So that's top about the good and the bad. 852 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:20,440 Speaker 3: Around this stuff. 853 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:25,800 Speaker 2: It is the biggest band aid I've ever ever come across, 854 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:31,000 Speaker 2: because people think that that drug takes away all their 855 00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:35,880 Speaker 2: responsibility and accountability for their diet, their exercise, their stress, 856 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,279 Speaker 2: and their lifestyle, the things that actually matter most to 857 00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:44,239 Speaker 2: keep them healthy. This drug will not keep anybody healthy ever. 858 00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,239 Speaker 2: It is not there to make you healthy. Taking the 859 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,560 Speaker 2: drug as a magic pill that's going to solve all 860 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,000 Speaker 2: your problems, your mental problems, the reasons why you eat 861 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 2: or don't exercise or don't have energy. This will help 862 00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 2: with weight reduction. Thirty to fifty percent of the weight 863 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,719 Speaker 2: you lose will be muscle nus, which means that when 864 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,960 Speaker 2: we doing back to that, when you regain weight, you 865 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,399 Speaker 2: gain more weight because you reduce metabolic rate. So if 866 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:08,839 Speaker 2: you are. 867 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:12,719 Speaker 1: Gone, can you just expand on that because I think 868 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:17,239 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't understand that process of when 869 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,839 Speaker 1: you lose what you're losing and then when you put 870 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,600 Speaker 1: it back on, what gets put back on and the 871 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:25,880 Speaker 1: impact that has on your metabolism you're ongoing. 872 00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,320 Speaker 2: Yes, So I guess the biggest thing with a ZMPEK 873 00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:33,120 Speaker 2: is it stops you being hungry, which is fantastic if 874 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,920 Speaker 2: you're someone who overeats or eats the wrong foods. But 875 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,880 Speaker 2: when you are not hungry, it is so hard to 876 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,440 Speaker 2: sit there and plow through two to four cups of 877 00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,400 Speaker 2: your veggies and salads and lean proteins that you still 878 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,880 Speaker 2: need to eat. You have a responsibility and accountability to 879 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,480 Speaker 2: your body to put those things in to be healthy. 880 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,840 Speaker 2: So when you're not hungry and you can't eat those things, 881 00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,839 Speaker 2: the weight that you're losing is your muscle mass because 882 00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,440 Speaker 2: you're not putting in enough protein. You're not feeding it 883 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:04,000 Speaker 2: gup microbiome. You're probably going to get inflammation from the 884 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,480 Speaker 2: bad bacteria not outweighing the good bacteria eating through the 885 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 2: mucous layer, and you know, letting all these allergens into 886 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,560 Speaker 2: the system. So I just don't think in the long 887 00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,839 Speaker 2: run people are going to be better off unless they 888 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 2: sign up to OZENPIC with the guidance of their dietitian 889 00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,799 Speaker 2: and their x FIZ and they've got a meal plan 890 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,720 Speaker 2: to go on every single day. That is nutritionally complete, 891 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,239 Speaker 2: high protein, lowing carbs, full of whole foods, and then 892 00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,720 Speaker 2: they've got an exercise program that is predominantly strength based 893 00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 2: to ensure that they're not losing muscle mass. Then at 894 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:39,960 Speaker 2: every meal they need to have their two to three 895 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,520 Speaker 2: grams of loucine, so a high quality protein at least 896 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,040 Speaker 2: three times a day. And all of those things you 897 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,600 Speaker 2: can do without the ozenpic, And if they tried them 898 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:53,360 Speaker 2: without the ozenpic, they would possibly get the same effect. 899 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:57,880 Speaker 2: But maybe they need to be paying for something to 900 00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,560 Speaker 2: put the effort in. And that is something that I 901 00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 2: find even with my company Beefit Food, people could eat 902 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,920 Speaker 2: these healthy foods and cook them at home, but they don't. 903 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,640 Speaker 2: So if they spend a couple of hundred dollars on 904 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 2: food a week, they stick to it and wama, they 905 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,200 Speaker 2: get these magical results. They lose five kilos in two weeks. 906 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,320 Speaker 2: And they could do that on their own, but because 907 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,839 Speaker 2: they're not paying someone else to do it for them 908 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,760 Speaker 2: or outsourcing it, they don't. So I know that ozen 909 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:29,000 Speaker 2: pic works. However, people are using it as a band 910 00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 2: aid to cover up the other lifestyle changes, and if 911 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,360 Speaker 2: they don't make those lifestyle changes. Then the results of 912 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,680 Speaker 2: the ozen pic are going to be very short lived 913 00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,560 Speaker 2: and the long term repercussions, they're going to end up 914 00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,360 Speaker 2: in a worse state than when they started. 915 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,600 Speaker 1: And what we're seeing the eye is that when people 916 00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 1: come off a zempic, they put their back on. But 917 00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:53,440 Speaker 1: to your point earlier, when you lose with it, a 918 00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:55,880 Speaker 1: big chunk of it, if not most of it is muscle, 919 00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,440 Speaker 1: and then when you put it back on, some muscle 920 00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,759 Speaker 1: you put it back on, it's fat. So you end 921 00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,640 Speaker 1: up back at the same weight, but proportionally more fat 922 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,640 Speaker 1: and less muscle, which means your metabolic rate is lower, 923 00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:08,600 Speaker 1: which means you go back on the same diet with 924 00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:10,280 Speaker 1: the same calories alone. 925 00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:11,320 Speaker 3: You know, we know about calories. 926 00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:12,759 Speaker 1: But you go back and the same dit You will 927 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,400 Speaker 1: then put on weight because your metabolic rate's lower, and 928 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,120 Speaker 1: then you go, fucking hell, I need to lose weight again. 929 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:25,799 Speaker 1: Every die And they end up getting more fat and 930 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 1: less muscular for the same weight over time, which is 931 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 1: catastrophic for you in so many ways, right, not just 932 00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,680 Speaker 1: in terms of when you get older your ability to 933 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,920 Speaker 1: do your tasks of daily function, but because if you've 934 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:46,319 Speaker 1: got less muscle you have less ability to produce myokines 935 00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,000 Speaker 1: and these messenger molecules that are produced and contracting muscle 936 00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,560 Speaker 1: that have a positive impact on every single organ and 937 00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,640 Speaker 1: every organ system in your body. This is what nobody's 938 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:56,320 Speaker 1: talking about. 939 00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,920 Speaker 2: Muscle mess is linked to mental health. You reduce all 940 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,240 Speaker 2: of your muscle mess you're going to affect your mental 941 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:06,760 Speaker 2: health and your mental capacity and that risk of dementia 942 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:07,839 Speaker 2: in Alzheimer's too. 943 00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:12,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we are. This is one of those 944 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,480 Speaker 1: things that there's lots of people talking about all the 945 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 1: good of it and a lot of the research which 946 00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:25,759 Speaker 1: is being posted by these companies and promoted widely through 947 00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:26,640 Speaker 1: press releases. 948 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:26,920 Speaker 3: Right. 949 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:31,239 Speaker 1: Oh, improvements in cardio cardio metabolic risk factors, Well, yeah, 950 00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:32,360 Speaker 1: that's the short term. 951 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:36,040 Speaker 3: Can we look at them in three years and you. 952 00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,960 Speaker 2: Can get that from diet and exercise. Where's that big headline, 953 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,480 Speaker 2: where's the big report? Look, I went for a round 954 00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,759 Speaker 2: in my catabolic respectors of declines. 955 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,960 Speaker 1: But this is the point, is like, what's it going 956 00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,279 Speaker 1: to be like ten twenty years down the track? Right, 957 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,400 Speaker 1: and the drug makers will stay well, just stay on 958 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,279 Speaker 1: the drug. Then, Oh they love that. 959 00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:58,960 Speaker 2: That's not expensive either, exactly, that's. 960 00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 1: A great business model for them, right, So this is 961 00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:06,480 Speaker 1: what people don't realize is the long term effects, the 962 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:12,839 Speaker 1: multiple long term effects, particularly on metabolism. If you are 963 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,600 Speaker 1: losing a for a chunk of muscle, and then we 964 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,160 Speaker 1: just don't know whether there's going to be any other 965 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:22,440 Speaker 1: long term side effects. 966 00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,720 Speaker 2: And there always is. There always is. You are suppressing things. 967 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:29,880 Speaker 2: So what is happening on the other side of that equation. 968 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,160 Speaker 2: Just because we don't know what it is doesn't mean 969 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,320 Speaker 2: it's not happening. And I know there's been very little 970 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,840 Speaker 2: sort of studies to support that the people that have 971 00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,600 Speaker 2: had that delayed gastric emptying could be ending up with gastroparesis, 972 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:46,120 Speaker 2: which is a condition where your stimulus if your gut 973 00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:50,360 Speaker 2: is no longer there, so you literally kill your gut 974 00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,360 Speaker 2: and you're in a world of trouble once that happens. 975 00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:57,080 Speaker 2: So there's been very limited cases of that and whether 976 00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,360 Speaker 2: or not it is caused by the weight for drugs, 977 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,880 Speaker 2: it's sort of contra virtial, but it does slow periscelsis 978 00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,840 Speaker 2: or that digestive empty rate, that contract ol rate, because 979 00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 2: it's making you feel full. I know how to make 980 00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,240 Speaker 2: people feel full, Give them a big glass of sillium 981 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,359 Speaker 2: or fiber or something like that. You'll get a really 982 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,560 Speaker 2: bad tummy ache. It'll sit there for ages, and you 983 00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:17,719 Speaker 2: won't be able to eat or drink anything. It's no 984 00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:21,160 Speaker 2: different except doing it through a drug is doing it 985 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,799 Speaker 2: through a chemical pathway that we don't know what else 986 00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 2: it's interfering with. So we know what food does and 987 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,080 Speaker 2: we know how to delay gastric empty with food. When 988 00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:31,600 Speaker 2: you do it with a drug, we don't know what 989 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:33,719 Speaker 2: else is going on in the body, and it is 990 00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,080 Speaker 2: pretty scary. There's always a side effect. Just because they're 991 00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:40,680 Speaker 2: not reported yet doesn't mean it's not happening absolutely, And 992 00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,960 Speaker 2: bariatric surgery brings me back to exactly the same thing. 993 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,000 Speaker 2: When it first came out, it was the miracle, wonder 994 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,240 Speaker 2: drug to cure diabetes and obesity. But guess what. People 995 00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,560 Speaker 2: have the surgery that hyper metabolic for two to four years, 996 00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,800 Speaker 2: they lose a huge amount of weight. They might lose 997 00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:00,239 Speaker 2: between forty to seventy percent of their excess weight. At 998 00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:03,120 Speaker 2: some point in time, they need to start eating again. 999 00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,600 Speaker 2: If they haven't changed those eating behaviors, and if they 1000 00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,600 Speaker 2: hadn't started to exercise, they lose all their muscle mass, 1001 00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,360 Speaker 2: they become malnourished and they start these poor eating behaviors. 1002 00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,680 Speaker 2: And once you've had a gastric sleeve or a gastric band, 1003 00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:19,200 Speaker 2: the next stage is to remove your stomach and you know, 1004 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,680 Speaker 2: a gastrectomy. Once you've done that, you have no absorption 1005 00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,840 Speaker 2: in your body, so you've actually removed a whole organ 1006 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,480 Speaker 2: from functioning properly, and that is not a sustainable solution. 1007 00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,759 Speaker 2: I just think whether it's the surgery or the drug, yes, 1008 00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,000 Speaker 2: it helps people, but are there other ways to do 1009 00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,560 Speaker 2: it in more sustainable ways? And if they are going 1010 00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:43,120 Speaker 2: to take that path, then they need to be aware 1011 00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:46,239 Speaker 2: and supported. I'm very happy to coach people through. I'm 1012 00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,239 Speaker 2: sure you are too, but they need the coaching. It 1013 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,680 Speaker 2: can't be done without the support and the side effects 1014 00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:55,560 Speaker 2: that come later on. Maybe in ten years time, they go, 1015 00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:57,920 Speaker 2: I should have just done it the other way. I 1016 00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,279 Speaker 2: wish I didn't have this, but with I don't know 1017 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:01,000 Speaker 2: what that's going to be. 1018 00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:05,480 Speaker 1: Hi, listeners, we have just lost Kate, which is a 1019 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:06,200 Speaker 1: bit of a shocker. 1020 00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,600 Speaker 3: She just has completely disappeared. 1021 00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,800 Speaker 1: But we got through pretty much everything I wanted to 1022 00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:15,680 Speaker 1: chat to her about.
