2
00:00:34,635 --> 00:00:37,371
[Woman]
I had chronic brain fog.
3
00:00:37,438 --> 00:00:39,573
I never felt rested
when I woke up.
4
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,375
I got migraines all the time.
5
00:00:42,343 --> 00:00:44,612
I was hungry all the time,
6
00:00:44,678 --> 00:00:46,580
and people feared
for their lives
7
00:00:46,647 --> 00:00:48,349
when they were around
me when I got hungry,
8
00:00:48,416 --> 00:00:50,551
because I crashed
and turned into a crazy person.
9
00:00:51,519 --> 00:00:54,655
And just felt
generally cranky and...
10
00:00:55,589 --> 00:00:57,258
bad, basically.
11
00:01:06,934 --> 00:01:09,770
The outlook on life
prior to being diagnosed
12
00:01:09,837 --> 00:01:12,473
and figuring out
what was going on
was pretty bleak.
13
00:01:12,540 --> 00:01:16,544
I had chronic fatigue syndrome,
14
00:01:17,411 --> 00:01:18,579
fibromyalgia.
15
00:01:19,780 --> 00:01:22,450
[Woman] Chronic migraines,
that was a huge one.
16
00:01:22,516 --> 00:01:25,319
I had chronic
gastrointestinal issues.
17
00:01:25,386 --> 00:01:28,322
And I saw gastroenterologists
for several years,
18
00:01:28,389 --> 00:01:30,391
and no one ever told me
it could be related to food.
19
00:01:30,458 --> 00:01:32,493
I thought that I had
20
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,196
early-onset
rheumatoid arthritis.
21
00:01:35,963 --> 00:01:37,731
I had chronic adult acne.
22
00:01:37,798 --> 00:01:40,634
I had numbness in my feet
and in my limbs.
23
00:01:40,701 --> 00:01:42,503
I was always cold.
24
00:01:42,570 --> 00:01:47,408
Everything and anything I took
really didn't provide me
any relief whatsoever.
25
00:01:47,475 --> 00:01:50,678
How I would I have been?
35, or 34, or something.
26
00:01:51,579 --> 00:01:54,582
You're probably not supposed
to feel that crappy at that age,
right?
27
00:01:54,648 --> 00:01:55,516
That's not old.
28
00:01:55,983 --> 00:01:57,084
But I felt old.
29
00:01:57,151 --> 00:02:00,688
I had come
to just really live with it.
30
00:02:00,754 --> 00:02:02,423
It became part of my life.
31
00:02:02,490 --> 00:02:05,693
[Man]
I remember feeling strange,
32
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:09,230
feeling weird
from very early on, you know.
33
00:02:09,297 --> 00:02:10,398
Not feeling healthy.
34
00:02:10,464 --> 00:02:14,335
Not feeling like
I lived to full capacity.
35
00:02:14,402 --> 00:02:15,603
Even as a child.
36
00:02:16,537 --> 00:02:18,005
And that's weird.
37
00:02:18,071 --> 00:02:22,210
I mean, the thing is
everyone is so sick
in this country.
38
00:02:22,276 --> 00:02:23,811
Our food system is so broken.
39
00:02:24,878 --> 00:02:27,481
[Man] The solution given to me
by my GP was,
40
00:02:27,548 --> 00:02:30,451
"Don't worry.
If you take these meds now,
41
00:02:30,518 --> 00:02:35,489
"you'll be able to keep these...
you know, suppress these issues
that you're facing,
42
00:02:35,556 --> 00:02:37,391
and you should be able
to live longer."
43
00:03:31,111 --> 00:03:32,713
[Man] It's amazing...
44
00:03:32,780 --> 00:03:36,384
You know, it's like
the human body
just gets comfy with stuff
45
00:03:36,450 --> 00:03:39,453
or accepting of conditions
and just kind of like...
46
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:40,688
It's like,
"Oh, this is gonna hurt."
47
00:03:40,754 --> 00:03:42,356
Or, "I have a bum knee,"
or I have a whatever.
48
00:03:42,423 --> 00:03:44,558
"We'll just kind of
deal with it. We'll compensate.
We'll be fine."
49
00:03:44,625 --> 00:03:45,626
And so, you get used
to those things.
50
00:03:45,693 --> 00:03:47,628
And so,
the same thing happened with me.
51
00:03:47,695 --> 00:03:49,397
I just felt horrible,
52
00:03:49,463 --> 00:03:50,998
but did it for so long
53
00:03:51,064 --> 00:03:54,535
that I forgot how bad
I actually felt
54
00:03:54,602 --> 00:03:55,969
and how it felt to feel good.
55
00:04:01,008 --> 00:04:04,612
I was never extremely sick,
but I was never well either.
56
00:04:04,678 --> 00:04:07,481
I was vegetarian
for about six years.
57
00:04:07,548 --> 00:04:10,351
I ate fish sometimes,
but was mostly vegetarian,
58
00:04:10,418 --> 00:04:12,520
and also mostly dairy-free,
59
00:04:12,586 --> 00:04:14,922
because the person
I was with at the time
had a dairy allergy.
60
00:04:14,988 --> 00:04:16,890
So in addition
to being vegetarian,
61
00:04:16,957 --> 00:04:23,664
I was also eating way more soy
than anyone should ever consume
over their lifetime.
62
00:04:23,731 --> 00:04:25,633
Because we had
all the dairy substitutes,
63
00:04:25,699 --> 00:04:29,337
like the fake butter,
and the soy milk, and the...
64
00:04:29,403 --> 00:04:31,772
I don't even remember what else,
65
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,006
but it was all pretty horrible.
66
00:04:34,608 --> 00:04:36,944
And I also worked
in vegetarian restaurants
at the time.
67
00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:41,048
That was my life, basically,
68
00:04:41,114 --> 00:04:46,987
and was eating seitan,
which is wheat gluten,
sandwiches
69
00:04:47,054 --> 00:04:48,889
on rye bread.
70
00:04:49,657 --> 00:04:53,327
So, I was just eating
a straight-up gluten sandwich.
71
00:04:55,128 --> 00:04:58,566
So gluten and soy
were, like, my main staples
in my diet,
72
00:04:58,632 --> 00:05:02,403
and I was completely
the angry chef that threw pans.
73
00:05:02,470 --> 00:05:04,572
I was... psychotic
74
00:05:04,638 --> 00:05:06,840
and not a happy person.
75
00:05:06,907 --> 00:05:09,009
And of course,
there were other factors.
76
00:05:09,076 --> 00:05:11,645
It wasn't 100% diet,
77
00:05:11,712 --> 00:05:13,781
but that played a huge role.
78
00:05:14,482 --> 00:05:17,385
I was definitely
the sickest I've ever been
79
00:05:18,519 --> 00:05:20,621
and the unhappiest
I've ever been.
80
00:05:26,193 --> 00:05:28,996
[Woman]
My husband was Paleo
for almost a year.
81
00:05:29,663 --> 00:05:31,699
And through that year,
82
00:05:31,765 --> 00:05:36,670
every time I ate,
I had just horrid pain,
stomach pain,
83
00:05:36,737 --> 00:05:39,607
and he would say,
"I really think
that you have Coeliac,
84
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:41,074
and I think you need
to get it checked out."
85
00:05:43,010 --> 00:05:48,716
And if you have it,
if you take about a pinch
of saffron, you'll want to...
86
00:05:48,782 --> 00:05:51,919
[Michelle]
My specialty as a chef
was Italian.
87
00:05:51,985 --> 00:05:53,854
After about a year,
we were having a celebration.
88
00:05:53,921 --> 00:05:55,055
It was one of
the kids' birthdays.
89
00:05:55,122 --> 00:05:57,458
And I was making, of course,
all of that,
90
00:05:57,525 --> 00:06:00,160
and there he was,
making his own dinner.
91
00:06:00,227 --> 00:06:02,062
And I looked at him,
and I said,
92
00:06:02,129 --> 00:06:04,732
"You're, like, really never
gonna have my pizza
and pasta again, are you?"
93
00:06:04,798 --> 00:06:06,099
And he goes, "No."
94
00:06:06,166 --> 00:06:08,135
And he said, "I really think
that you have Coeliac,
95
00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:10,370
and you really need
to go get it checked out."
96
00:06:12,105 --> 00:06:15,576
They checked
for the wrong antibodies.
I checked out negative.
97
00:06:15,643 --> 00:06:19,146
The doctor
that was sitting there
talking to me said,
98
00:06:19,212 --> 00:06:21,682
"You're negative,
but you know
what we're gonna do?"
99
00:06:21,749 --> 00:06:23,784
He said, "I really think...
From what you're telling me,
100
00:06:23,851 --> 00:06:25,519
"I really think
you might have Coeliac,
101
00:06:25,586 --> 00:06:29,690
and so, we're gonna do
a biopsy of your colon."
102
00:06:29,757 --> 00:06:32,192
He starts telling me
how he's going to
cut into my colon,
103
00:06:32,259 --> 00:06:35,929
and as he's telling me,
he's... nodding off,
falling asleep.
104
00:06:35,996 --> 00:06:40,634
And I'm just like,
"Hmm. That doesn't sound
like a good option to me."
105
00:06:40,701 --> 00:06:44,538
And I thought, "Why is
the next step so invasive?
106
00:06:44,605 --> 00:06:48,776
"Why isn't it
just cut these foods
from you diet?
107
00:06:48,842 --> 00:06:49,843
Why not start there?"
108
00:06:52,079 --> 00:06:55,816
[Cain] I got diagnosed
with Coeliac Disease
about four years ago
109
00:06:55,883 --> 00:06:59,687
and was lucky enough
where I had typical GI issues
110
00:06:59,753 --> 00:07:03,223
and very physical manifestations
of that.
111
00:07:03,290 --> 00:07:06,927
So, if I ate gluten,
I knew that I ate it
and felt horrible.
112
00:07:06,994 --> 00:07:09,563
So, went gluten-free,
113
00:07:10,097 --> 00:07:13,567
and that did not fix things.
114
00:07:13,634 --> 00:07:15,703
We've tried gluten-free.
We've tried gluten-free vegan.
115
00:07:15,769 --> 00:07:18,672
We tried all of those different
variations of it.
116
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:22,009
I ended up with no energy
117
00:07:22,075 --> 00:07:25,579
and... puffy.
118
00:07:25,646 --> 00:07:27,014
Is the only way
I can kind of describe that.
119
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,883
It's like my body fat percentage
120
00:07:29,950 --> 00:07:32,520
took a nosedive
in the wrong direction.
121
00:07:32,586 --> 00:07:37,658
And I was lethargic,
and I just didn't feel good
that way.
122
00:07:37,725 --> 00:07:40,728
So we did that
for maybe six months or so
123
00:07:40,794 --> 00:07:43,130
and then said
that's enough of that...
124
00:07:44,632 --> 00:07:45,599
and went back.
125
00:08:04,952 --> 00:08:06,920
[Woman] I grew up
in Olympia, Washington.
126
00:08:08,288 --> 00:08:11,792
I grew up
in a totally normal family,
127
00:08:11,859 --> 00:08:13,460
your standard, American family,
128
00:08:13,527 --> 00:08:17,631
and grew up eating cereal,
and bagels,
and Subway sandwiches.
129
00:08:17,698 --> 00:08:21,168
And there was no food
in the food that I was eating.
130
00:08:21,234 --> 00:08:25,105
There was
no pasture-roaming animals.
131
00:08:25,172 --> 00:08:26,273
There was no grass-fed meat.
132
00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:28,876
There were no seasonal,
local vegetables.
133
00:08:28,942 --> 00:08:30,210
It was like
whatever we could pick up
134
00:08:30,277 --> 00:08:32,913
and throw in a plastic bag
at the grocery store,
135
00:08:32,980 --> 00:08:34,582
and, like, whatever is on sale.
136
00:08:52,766 --> 00:08:57,938
A general health consciousness
was very strongly present
in my life
137
00:08:58,005 --> 00:09:00,073
because my parents
ran a pharmacy.
138
00:09:00,140 --> 00:09:01,208
My father was a pharmacist,
139
00:09:01,274 --> 00:09:05,212
which means that we ate healthy
140
00:09:05,278 --> 00:09:09,983
according
to conventional wisdom
on what is a healthy diet.
141
00:09:10,050 --> 00:09:11,852
So I ate very little meat.
142
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:14,187
No fat at all.
That was forbidden.
143
00:09:14,254 --> 00:09:16,890
We had the fat substitutes,
of course, every day
on the table.
144
00:09:16,957 --> 00:09:18,659
Margarine instead of butter,
145
00:09:18,726 --> 00:09:21,929
the heart-healthy alternative.
146
00:09:21,995 --> 00:09:25,298
None of us
in the family was healthy.
147
00:09:25,365 --> 00:09:28,001
My father suffered
psoriasis heavily.
148
00:09:28,068 --> 00:09:29,803
My mother had severe asthma.
149
00:09:29,870 --> 00:09:32,305
My sister,
which I discovered now,
150
00:09:32,372 --> 00:09:34,141
clearly had a histamine problem.
151
00:09:34,207 --> 00:09:36,644
I had a number of health issues.
152
00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:38,979
You know,
I had this asthma as well,
skin problems.
153
00:09:39,847 --> 00:09:44,084
Major energy dips
throughout the day
as being a child.
154
00:09:44,151 --> 00:09:47,320
Now, I realize
what was the reason for that.
155
00:09:47,387 --> 00:09:50,257
I was never able
to wake up in the morning.
156
00:09:50,323 --> 00:09:54,061
It was hell
to drag my body to school
157
00:09:54,127 --> 00:09:56,396
and to pay attention in school.
158
00:09:56,463 --> 00:09:58,899
I couldn't...
It was impossible.
159
00:09:58,966 --> 00:10:01,201
I would fall asleep
in the first hours of class.
160
00:10:02,035 --> 00:10:04,772
Nobody could tell me
why that was,
161
00:10:04,838 --> 00:10:06,740
and nobody questioned it even.
162
00:10:07,307 --> 00:10:10,210
So from this background...
163
00:10:10,277 --> 00:10:11,745
You know,
it would have been different
164
00:10:11,812 --> 00:10:15,082
if we had grown up in a family
eating junk food all the time.
165
00:10:15,148 --> 00:10:16,283
We did not.
166
00:10:16,349 --> 00:10:17,350
So we were obviously
doing everything correct
167
00:10:17,417 --> 00:10:20,287
according to
conventional standards.
168
00:10:26,493 --> 00:10:29,663
[timer beeping]
169
00:10:30,297 --> 00:10:33,300
I had several inflammations
going on in my body.
170
00:10:33,366 --> 00:10:35,703
I had aching joints
all the time.
171
00:10:35,769 --> 00:10:38,005
I was lethargic,
tired all day long.
172
00:10:38,071 --> 00:10:42,810
It doesn't even matter
if I had slept six hours,
or 12, or 14 hours,
173
00:10:42,876 --> 00:10:44,311
I was just tired the entire day.
174
00:10:46,046 --> 00:10:50,951
My life before going Paleo
was pretty much that
of a fitness nut.
175
00:10:51,018 --> 00:10:55,655
Like, just doing silly workouts
at a commercial gym.
176
00:10:57,090 --> 00:11:03,296
I think people are really tired
of the conventional stuff
they've been told for years,
177
00:11:03,363 --> 00:11:07,935
so they, eventually,
are really ready for a change.
178
00:11:13,406 --> 00:11:16,376
[Man] I went to my doctor
in my early 30s.
179
00:11:16,443 --> 00:11:19,079
And my doctor said to me,
"Based on your blood work,
180
00:11:19,146 --> 00:11:20,848
"and based on the results
that we've got back,
181
00:11:20,914 --> 00:11:25,886
you have an increased risk
of X, Y, and Z in terms
of lifestyle diseases."
182
00:11:25,953 --> 00:11:27,855
My blood sugar was very high.
183
00:11:27,921 --> 00:11:29,957
My cholesterol levels were high.
184
00:11:30,357 --> 00:11:31,925
My blood pressure was very high.
185
00:11:31,992 --> 00:11:35,195
When I asked him
for lifestyle alternatives,
186
00:11:35,262 --> 00:11:37,364
he said, "Well,
you're eating a low-fat diet,
187
00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:39,800
"and you're currently
going to the gym,
188
00:11:39,867 --> 00:11:41,835
"so there's nothing else
you can do.
189
00:11:41,902 --> 00:11:43,403
"You're kind of
doing the right things.
190
00:11:43,470 --> 00:11:46,139
"You're not a drinker.
You don't smoke.
Everything is fine.
191
00:11:46,206 --> 00:11:49,042
"It's just about
your genetic heritage
192
00:11:49,109 --> 00:11:50,878
and the fact you're getting
a little bit older."
193
00:11:50,944 --> 00:11:52,946
I didn't accept that,
194
00:11:53,013 --> 00:11:56,216
really because I was scared
of taking those medications,
especially in the long term.
195
00:12:00,620 --> 00:12:04,391
[Man] I've been practicing
as a doctor for about 25 years.
196
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,895
Most of my patients come
with what we would call chronic
197
00:12:07,961 --> 00:12:10,130
or sort of
long-standing health issues.
198
00:12:10,197 --> 00:12:14,367
Some of the problems
might be things like
irritable bowel syndrome,
199
00:12:14,434 --> 00:12:18,872
diabetes, headaches, migraine,
general fatigue.
200
00:12:18,939 --> 00:12:23,510
Usually, the individual
has either not had
a good experience
201
00:12:23,576 --> 00:12:26,880
with conventional medicine
or conventional approaches,
202
00:12:26,947 --> 00:12:29,016
and/or there really isn't
very much
203
00:12:29,082 --> 00:12:30,951
the conventional approaches
can offer that person.
204
00:12:31,018 --> 00:12:33,253
But this is
what's happening to people.
205
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,088
They're being told,
"Just accept it.
206
00:12:35,155 --> 00:12:38,058
"Here you go.
Here's your diagnosis.
207
00:12:38,125 --> 00:12:40,327
"I'm sorry.
This is the pill. Take it.
208
00:12:40,393 --> 00:12:43,063
I'm sorry. You don't get
any other choices."
209
00:12:43,130 --> 00:12:45,098
There's a reason why...
210
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:48,101
conventional wisdom says,
"Do this."
211
00:12:48,168 --> 00:12:50,537
Everybody does it,
and it ends up all crappy.
212
00:12:50,603 --> 00:12:52,139
Well, I used to work
in a hospital.
213
00:12:52,205 --> 00:12:56,143
And I became...
Once I learned about Paleo
and the benefits,
214
00:12:56,209 --> 00:13:00,914
I became so frustrated
at the amount of drugs that
were being pumped into people
215
00:13:00,981 --> 00:13:04,117
for stuff that could be solved
with a good diet
and some exercise.
216
00:13:04,184 --> 00:13:07,220
Wisdom is just such a... Ugh!
217
00:13:07,287 --> 00:13:09,089
It's such an oxymoron.
218
00:13:09,156 --> 00:13:11,158
When we use
the word "conventional wisdom,"
219
00:13:11,224 --> 00:13:12,860
it seems like forever,
220
00:13:12,926 --> 00:13:14,561
but it's actually
maybe five years old,
221
00:13:14,627 --> 00:13:16,229
or 10 years old,
or 20 years old.
222
00:13:16,296 --> 00:13:18,231
It mortifies me sometimes
223
00:13:18,298 --> 00:13:21,134
to think
of the numbers of people
224
00:13:21,201 --> 00:13:24,204
that are sick
because they've been lied to.
225
00:13:27,707 --> 00:13:30,978
[John] When people take
conventional nutritional advice,
226
00:13:31,044 --> 00:13:34,181
as we generally have been
for the last 30 or 40 years,
227
00:13:34,247 --> 00:13:38,051
to eat less fat and
more carbohydrate-rich foods,
228
00:13:38,118 --> 00:13:39,619
including starchy carbohydrates,
229
00:13:39,686 --> 00:13:42,189
this isn't good for health.
It damages health.
230
00:13:43,090 --> 00:13:48,295
People underestimate
how powerful taking charge
of their diet can be.
231
00:13:49,029 --> 00:13:51,999
We are just taught
to walk into a grocery store,
232
00:13:52,065 --> 00:13:55,302
and if it's in a box,
it's in there, it's good for us.
We can consume it.
233
00:13:55,368 --> 00:13:57,470
It's safe
for human consumption, right?
234
00:13:57,537 --> 00:13:58,872
But the fact of the matter is
235
00:13:58,939 --> 00:14:01,508
when you approach food
without any of that awareness,
236
00:14:01,574 --> 00:14:04,677
you're not tapped in at all
to what your body needs,
237
00:14:04,744 --> 00:14:06,413
what it needs
to function and thrive.
238
00:14:06,479 --> 00:14:09,983
What you put into your body,
that's your fuel.
239
00:14:10,050 --> 00:14:11,952
If you're not fueling
your body right,
240
00:14:12,019 --> 00:14:13,853
it'll break down at some point,
you know?
241
00:14:15,155 --> 00:14:18,658
[Cain]
This grain, you know, diet
pure-bred thing
242
00:14:18,725 --> 00:14:21,128
is pushed on people
from, like, grade school.
243
00:14:21,194 --> 00:14:22,963
It's like
that's all people know.
244
00:14:23,030 --> 00:14:27,167
You have to be able to recognize
when the government,
and the corporations,
245
00:14:27,234 --> 00:14:29,702
and the institutions,
and the society
are lying to you,
246
00:14:29,769 --> 00:14:31,571
or deceiving you,
247
00:14:31,638 --> 00:14:33,240
or just simply don't know
what they're talking about.
They're ignorant.
248
00:14:33,306 --> 00:14:37,477
And find out
what's driving them.
Where's the money, so to speak.
249
00:14:37,544 --> 00:14:40,380
We used to be
instinctual creatures
250
00:14:40,447 --> 00:14:42,449
who would hunt and gather
our own food,
251
00:14:42,515 --> 00:14:47,054
whether it be berries,
or vegetables,
or free-range animals,
252
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,256
you know, deer or bison.
253
00:15:16,249 --> 00:15:17,884
Morning, mate.
254
00:15:17,951 --> 00:15:18,918
[Peter] I have always had
a really bad relationship
with food,
255
00:15:18,986 --> 00:15:20,287
so I knew
something had to change.
256
00:15:20,353 --> 00:15:21,388
I wanted to make sure
it was a sustainable change.
257
00:15:23,556 --> 00:15:26,259
-Back to work.
-Yeah, I feel rested though.
258
00:15:26,326 --> 00:15:28,161
I'm way better than I was
when I left.
259
00:15:28,228 --> 00:15:31,131
I'd always struggle with
sleeping and training really.
260
00:15:31,198 --> 00:15:33,233
I'd always trained
since a very early age.
261
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:35,135
I've always played
pretty competitive sports,
262
00:15:35,202 --> 00:15:36,970
but there's always been
kind of something missing.
263
00:15:37,037 --> 00:15:41,108
I always knew I wasn't getting
the most out of what I could be
essentially.
264
00:15:42,809 --> 00:15:44,511
[John] We had
a patient come in one day.
265
00:15:44,577 --> 00:15:46,246
He was in his early 70s.
266
00:15:46,313 --> 00:15:49,049
He came in for
a relatively minor operation.
267
00:15:49,616 --> 00:15:51,151
He'd never been
in hospital before.
268
00:15:51,218 --> 00:15:54,621
That was the the thing
that really, sort of,
stuck out at me.
269
00:15:54,687 --> 00:15:57,457
He also
had never really been unwell.
270
00:15:58,325 --> 00:16:02,195
And I was amazed
at how energized and vital
this person was.
271
00:16:02,262 --> 00:16:04,597
You know,
he's sort of 50 years
older than me
272
00:16:04,664 --> 00:16:06,733
and in a much better
state of health.
273
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:10,037
I asked him
to what he attributed
his good health,
274
00:16:10,103 --> 00:16:11,738
and his wellness,
and his energy,
275
00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:14,074
and he explained to me
that he thought a lot of it
276
00:16:14,141 --> 00:16:16,343
was down to
some very simple things
that he did in his life.
277
00:16:17,710 --> 00:16:21,281
The way he ate.
He was a regular cyclist,
for example.
278
00:16:21,348 --> 00:16:24,717
He was also just fundamentally
very interested in life.
279
00:16:24,784 --> 00:16:28,121
My curiosity
got the better of me
again later that day
280
00:16:28,188 --> 00:16:31,691
when I went into town
and ended up buying
a book on nutrition.
281
00:16:32,359 --> 00:16:35,295
I decided
to apply the principles
in my own life.
282
00:16:35,362 --> 00:16:36,529
Once I'd done that,
283
00:16:36,596 --> 00:16:38,831
the effects
on my own health and wellness
284
00:16:38,898 --> 00:16:41,768
were really nothing short
of transformational.
285
00:16:48,841 --> 00:16:54,147
I like to eat food
that resembles what it is
in its true, natural form.
286
00:16:54,214 --> 00:16:57,250
I like to be close to nature.
I like to be outdoors a lot.
287
00:16:57,317 --> 00:17:00,720
I like to sleep
according to my natural cycle.
288
00:17:00,787 --> 00:17:03,723
Wake up when my body feels
like waking up.
289
00:17:03,790 --> 00:17:07,127
I like moving
in the very functional,
sort of, primal way,
290
00:17:07,194 --> 00:17:09,729
so that's hiking,
and running, and rock climbing.
291
00:17:09,796 --> 00:17:11,231
Just being out there,
292
00:17:11,298 --> 00:17:15,535
and using my body,
and actually really feel
like I'm living
293
00:17:15,602 --> 00:17:19,439
instead of sort of existing
in an office cubicle,
if that makes sense.
294
00:17:19,506 --> 00:17:22,575
So, to me, Paleo represents
that very natural lifestyle.
295
00:17:22,642 --> 00:17:25,512
Being in the sun,
and getting lots of vitamin D,
296
00:17:25,578 --> 00:17:28,448
eating sustainable food,
cooking from scratch.
297
00:17:28,515 --> 00:17:29,716
It's a slow kind of living,
298
00:17:29,782 --> 00:17:32,252
which is also not sort of slow
in its speed.
299
00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:35,188
It's just sort of coming back
to the way we used to live
300
00:17:35,255 --> 00:17:37,690
and used to feel,
I suppose, as well.
301
00:17:54,741 --> 00:17:59,912
[Woman] When I realized
that the Paleo lifestyle
was scientifically sound,
302
00:17:59,979 --> 00:18:03,350
I would say it's been
over the last three years.
303
00:18:03,416 --> 00:18:08,255
I mean, I came
from a traditional,
medical background.
304
00:18:08,321 --> 00:18:13,893
I don't recall ever taking
a single nutrition course.
305
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:20,700
So most of my knowledge
of how our diets impacted health
306
00:18:20,767 --> 00:18:26,439
was similar to
where everybody else
was getting their information.
307
00:18:26,506 --> 00:18:30,643
But over the last few years,
I've been doing a fellowship
308
00:18:30,710 --> 00:18:33,846
in anti-aging
and regenerative medicine,
309
00:18:33,913 --> 00:18:39,486
and their focus is on diet
to a certain extent.
310
00:18:39,552 --> 00:18:41,454
And so that's
when I started to realize
311
00:18:41,521 --> 00:18:43,923
that there was
a lot of scientific evidence
312
00:18:43,990 --> 00:18:45,925
that had been out there
for years
313
00:18:45,992 --> 00:18:51,464
that was being ignored
because it wasn't consistent
with the conventional wisdom.
314
00:18:51,531 --> 00:18:54,367
And so,
it was just pushed aside.
315
00:18:54,434 --> 00:18:58,338
But I saw studies
that were done 20 years ago,
30 years ago,
316
00:18:58,405 --> 00:19:03,176
that supported
the improvements in health
from a Paleo-type lifestyle.
317
00:19:03,576 --> 00:19:05,612
So, that's when
I started to realize
318
00:19:05,678 --> 00:19:09,582
that there was legitimacy
on a scientific basis.
319
00:19:47,687 --> 00:19:54,527
Paleo is eating whole foods,
real foods, that you...
320
00:19:55,662 --> 00:19:56,729
either get from a farm,
321
00:19:58,064 --> 00:20:01,968
or you get
from, you know, your rancher.
322
00:20:02,602 --> 00:20:05,472
I mean, you can get them
from in the store obviously,
323
00:20:05,538 --> 00:20:07,274
but you don't get them
from a box.
324
00:20:08,875 --> 00:20:11,043
It also sometimes
has shrimp paste
as an optional ingredient.
325
00:20:11,110 --> 00:20:13,513
[Simone]
It's about eating real food.
326
00:20:13,580 --> 00:20:16,283
Eating food
that our grandparents
would recognize as food.
327
00:20:17,016 --> 00:20:19,352
Eating food that
isn't from a factory
328
00:20:19,419 --> 00:20:21,921
but is from farms, and ranches,
329
00:20:21,988 --> 00:20:25,858
and our backyards optimally
if we can garden
without killing everything,
330
00:20:25,925 --> 00:20:27,327
which I can't.
331
00:20:38,771 --> 00:20:41,908
There's a very different
consciousness
332
00:20:41,974 --> 00:20:43,676
about the sourcing of your food,
333
00:20:43,743 --> 00:20:45,945
where it comes from,
how it's prepared,
334
00:20:46,012 --> 00:20:47,914
the oils that it's prepared in,
335
00:20:47,980 --> 00:20:49,616
and just kind of
your relationship
336
00:20:49,682 --> 00:20:52,885
to being able
to prepare those things yourself
in your own kitchen.
337
00:20:53,553 --> 00:20:57,357
The focus is all about
eating high-quality foods,
eating natural foods,
338
00:20:57,424 --> 00:21:00,393
and eating foods
that are actually good for you
and will help fuel you,
339
00:21:00,460 --> 00:21:02,228
as opposed to just being
for weight loss.
340
00:21:02,295 --> 00:21:06,533
What would common sense dictate
would be the best diet
for us as a species?
341
00:21:07,099 --> 00:21:09,469
Well, you could argue
a diet based on the foods
342
00:21:09,536 --> 00:21:12,405
that we have been eating
the longest in terms of
our time on this planet.
343
00:21:12,905 --> 00:21:15,675
I mean, those are the foods
we have evolved to eat,
344
00:21:15,742 --> 00:21:17,810
that we're likely
to be best adapted to,
345
00:21:17,877 --> 00:21:20,447
and are gonna be broadly
the best for us.
346
00:21:20,713 --> 00:21:22,982
So, how long
have we been evolving?
347
00:21:23,049 --> 00:21:24,484
Well, it depends who you ask.
348
00:21:24,551 --> 00:21:27,654
But if you ask an evolutionist,
there's a pretty stock answer.
349
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,556
It's about
two and a half million years.
350
00:21:29,622 --> 00:21:31,691
[Darryl]
Paleo from a dietary perspective
351
00:21:31,758 --> 00:21:36,496
is really a way of modeling
what our ancient ancestor did,
in terms of hunter-gatherers,
352
00:21:36,563 --> 00:21:38,097
and taking the best of that
353
00:21:38,164 --> 00:21:41,801
and applying it
to what we should do today
in terms of food.
354
00:21:41,868 --> 00:21:45,372
In terms of our food choices,
it's wild meat, wild fish,
355
00:21:45,972 --> 00:21:48,307
vegetation, fruit, nuts,
356
00:21:49,208 --> 00:21:52,445
and really trying
to look at the kind of
macro-nutrient ratios
357
00:21:52,512 --> 00:21:54,714
that our hunter-gatherer
ancestors had
358
00:21:54,781 --> 00:21:57,584
as part and parcel
of their eating habits.
359
00:22:01,721 --> 00:22:04,491
[Patricia] The diet
really has to be in place
360
00:22:04,557 --> 00:22:06,826
for everything else
to work as well.
361
00:22:08,495 --> 00:22:12,465
When we treat patients,
really I would say...
362
00:22:13,032 --> 00:22:17,970
over 80% of what we do
has to do with the diet.
363
00:22:28,648 --> 00:22:30,517
At this point,
it's an intervention.
364
00:22:30,583 --> 00:22:34,854
-[Man] Absolutely.
-And we're trying to get you
as healthy as we can get you.
365
00:22:34,921 --> 00:22:37,890
-We can see the results already.
-[Patricia] Right. Right.
366
00:22:37,957 --> 00:22:43,496
And so, our goal is always
to have you get most of
your nutrition from your food.
367
00:22:43,563 --> 00:22:48,100
[Man]
My doctor was quite surprised
to see the difference.
368
00:22:48,167 --> 00:22:50,537
-[Woman]
A-plus is what he said.
-Really?
369
00:22:50,603 --> 00:22:52,772
And you got to change
some of your medications, right?
370
00:22:52,839 --> 00:22:55,174
-Yes, he has.
-Okay. What did he take off?
371
00:22:55,241 --> 00:22:58,144
Well, we got rid
of the atenolol.
372
00:22:58,210 --> 00:22:59,812
[Patricia] Oh, good. Okay.
373
00:22:59,879 --> 00:23:04,083
So since November then,
your weight has dropped
about 22, 24 pounds?
374
00:23:04,150 --> 00:23:05,618
Yeah. Yes.
375
00:23:05,685 --> 00:23:07,754
-And that's just...
Is that still continuing?
-Yes.
376
00:23:07,820 --> 00:23:09,121
-Are you plateauing or...
-No.
377
00:23:09,188 --> 00:23:10,790
-No, still... Okay.
-[Woman] It's a nice surprise
378
00:23:10,857 --> 00:23:13,860
when you get on the scale
and go, "Whoo!
Where does that go?"
379
00:23:13,926 --> 00:23:18,765
With the diet that you're on,
and as you lose weight,
380
00:23:18,831 --> 00:23:23,069
your need for that...
Your insulin sensitivity
will hopefully improve,
381
00:23:23,135 --> 00:23:25,505
and you'll need less and less
of that medication.
382
00:23:25,572 --> 00:23:28,808
And as you drop
your blood pressure,
or your weight,
383
00:23:28,875 --> 00:23:31,711
your blood pressure medication
is gonna come down too.
384
00:23:31,778 --> 00:23:34,581
But it's like
one happens and then the next.
385
00:23:34,647 --> 00:23:36,483
And then one happens
and then the next.
386
00:23:36,549 --> 00:23:38,184
You're not depriving yourself
of anything.
387
00:23:38,250 --> 00:23:43,823
The only thing
you're depriving yourself of is
chips, and bread...
388
00:23:44,724 --> 00:23:46,125
and all the things
that aren't good for you.
389
00:23:46,192 --> 00:23:47,259
[Patricia]
That you don't miss.
390
00:23:47,326 --> 00:23:49,962
A co-worker said to me...
391
00:23:50,029 --> 00:23:53,766
They were having a pizza party
for someone who was retiring.
392
00:23:53,833 --> 00:23:56,736
So I had my stuff,
and they said...
393
00:23:56,803 --> 00:23:59,005
She turned to me...
And she's had a heart attack,
394
00:23:59,071 --> 00:24:03,910
and she has been told
not to eat the fast food
and stuff that she always eats.
395
00:24:03,976 --> 00:24:06,879
"When are you gonna get back
to eating real food?"
396
00:24:06,946 --> 00:24:09,949
And I was like,
"But I am. But I am."
397
00:24:10,016 --> 00:24:11,818
"When are you gonna get
to eat real food again?"
398
00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:15,888
And she's just slopping down
her tacos from Taco Bell
every day.
399
00:24:15,955 --> 00:24:18,224
A lot of times
once the diet is in place,
400
00:24:18,290 --> 00:24:20,827
the others follow.
401
00:24:20,893 --> 00:24:22,762
The sleep improves.
402
00:24:22,829 --> 00:24:24,764
The weight goes away.
403
00:24:24,831 --> 00:24:28,200
We were satisfied
with what we knew to be,
404
00:24:28,267 --> 00:24:31,638
and we thought this was it.
You grow old, and you die,
405
00:24:31,704 --> 00:24:34,541
and you feel miserable,
and you have aches and pains,
406
00:24:34,607 --> 00:24:36,643
and that's just part
of the life process.
407
00:24:36,709 --> 00:24:38,811
And we know that
that doesn't have to be.
408
00:24:38,878 --> 00:24:42,048
So, we're moving more.
We're feeling better.
It's incredible.
409
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,157
[Irena] I remember growing up,
and my grandmother would
go to the markets every morning,
410
00:24:51,223 --> 00:24:53,292
and she would buy meat
from the butcher.
411
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,696
She would bring back
bags of vegetables and fruit.
412
00:24:56,763 --> 00:24:58,698
We would go hunting, fishing,
413
00:24:58,765 --> 00:25:01,668
quite often foraging
for berries and mushrooms,
414
00:25:01,734 --> 00:25:03,069
and she would cook from scratch.
415
00:25:03,135 --> 00:25:04,370
That's not that far back.
416
00:25:04,436 --> 00:25:07,139
When people say, "Well,
actually it's not possible
417
00:25:07,206 --> 00:25:10,943
to try and live,
you know, ancestral way
in the modern world,"
418
00:25:11,010 --> 00:25:14,113
I say,
"Well, we're not actually,
literally doing that."
419
00:25:14,180 --> 00:25:15,748
We're just saying,
420
00:25:15,815 --> 00:25:19,852
"Hey, how about we take away
some of these industrial
processes,
421
00:25:19,919 --> 00:25:22,054
"and mutating our food,
422
00:25:22,121 --> 00:25:24,891
"and changing things
the way they should be
naturally?
423
00:25:24,957 --> 00:25:28,761
And just try and leave
a little bit more the way that
we're intended to by nature."
424
00:25:30,663 --> 00:25:33,065
[John] So when did
we first start
to cultivate crops,
425
00:25:33,132 --> 00:25:34,834
things like corn and wheat?
426
00:25:34,901 --> 00:25:37,336
Well, the paleontological record
suggests
427
00:25:37,403 --> 00:25:40,707
that this was probably
just about 10,000 years ago.
428
00:25:40,773 --> 00:25:43,009
Now, that sounds
like a long time ago,
429
00:25:43,075 --> 00:25:45,612
but from
an evolutionary perspective,
430
00:25:45,678 --> 00:25:47,213
it's very recent,
431
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:49,849
and genes change very slowly.
432
00:25:49,916 --> 00:25:54,286
While foods like grains,
and refined sugar,
and refined vegetable oils
433
00:25:54,353 --> 00:25:56,889
are relatively recent
additions to the diet,
434
00:25:56,956 --> 00:26:01,828
the average diet
has about 70% of calories
contributed by these foods.
435
00:26:21,914 --> 00:26:25,351
[Simone] A lot of people
do have to eat every two hours
to sustain their blood sugar
436
00:26:25,417 --> 00:26:28,020
because they are eating foods
that are causing them to crash,
437
00:26:28,087 --> 00:26:29,588
and I used to be
one of those people.
438
00:26:29,656 --> 00:26:31,791
And I used to have
to bring food with me
all the time,
439
00:26:31,858 --> 00:26:34,093
because if I went
two hours without eating,
440
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,797
I would crash
and feel... really awful.
441
00:26:38,430 --> 00:26:41,267
When people think that
they need to eat every two hours
to sustain their blood sugar,
442
00:26:41,333 --> 00:26:42,434
that's 'cause
they're eating foods
443
00:26:42,501 --> 00:26:45,004
that are not sustaining
their blood sugar.
444
00:26:47,006 --> 00:26:49,909
If all you're craving
is bread, and cookies,
445
00:26:49,976 --> 00:26:52,178
and pancakes, and cupcakes,
and all that,
446
00:26:52,244 --> 00:26:53,379
then yes, it is restrictive,
447
00:26:53,445 --> 00:26:55,114
because you shouldn't be
eating those things.
448
00:26:55,181 --> 00:26:59,018
If you eat a lot of,
for example, either sugary
or starchy foods,
449
00:26:59,085 --> 00:27:03,355
you're going to tend to get
quite high levels of sugar
in the bloodstream.
450
00:27:03,422 --> 00:27:05,424
If blood sugar levels
go very high,
451
00:27:05,491 --> 00:27:08,160
the problems is
is that a huge surge
of insulin
452
00:27:08,227 --> 00:27:11,798
can drive blood sugar levels
to sort of sub-normal levels.
453
00:27:11,864 --> 00:27:13,933
When blood sugar levels get low,
454
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,002
people can get tired
and a bit listless.
455
00:27:16,068 --> 00:27:18,104
In fact,
that was the major cause
456
00:27:18,170 --> 00:27:20,740
of my problems with fatigue
when I was a lot younger.
457
00:27:21,507 --> 00:27:24,076
But also it can tend
to make people hungry
458
00:27:24,143 --> 00:27:25,812
and to crave foods,
459
00:27:25,878 --> 00:27:28,080
specifically for, say,
sweet foods,
460
00:27:28,147 --> 00:27:33,886
be it chocolate, or candy,
or biscuits, or cookies,
and foods like those.
461
00:27:33,953 --> 00:27:38,024
That's a really good way
of describing it,
a slave to food,
462
00:27:38,090 --> 00:27:41,828
because so many of us
are dependent
on these addictions.
463
00:27:41,894 --> 00:27:43,162
You know, we have this...
464
00:27:43,229 --> 00:27:44,764
We actually are addicted
to sugar and carbohydrates.
465
00:27:44,831 --> 00:27:47,800
People say, "Oh, no,
I just like bread,
and I like pasta."
466
00:27:47,867 --> 00:27:50,870
And I say,
"No, no, you're addicted
to bread and pasta."
467
00:27:50,937 --> 00:27:56,242
My biggest challenge
becoming Paleo was
giving up... carbs and sugar.
468
00:27:57,043 --> 00:27:59,011
Um, it was awful.
469
00:27:59,912 --> 00:28:00,913
It is hard,
470
00:28:00,980 --> 00:28:04,917
because they're craving
their sugar fix.
471
00:28:04,984 --> 00:28:08,120
Once you get past
that withdrawal stage,
472
00:28:09,055 --> 00:28:10,556
it becomes much easier.
473
00:28:10,622 --> 00:28:14,060
Once you start eating
satiating foods
that are nutritious,
474
00:28:14,126 --> 00:28:15,327
you don't...
475
00:28:15,394 --> 00:28:17,797
Well, A, you start craving
nutritious foods.
476
00:28:17,864 --> 00:28:20,132
That's another little thing
that's changed.
477
00:28:20,199 --> 00:28:23,535
You don't feel
you need to eat right away
to, kind of...
478
00:28:23,602 --> 00:28:25,137
to feel human again, you know.
479
00:28:25,204 --> 00:28:28,507
Call it "hangry."
People would just get hungry
and angry,
480
00:28:28,574 --> 00:28:30,409
and you don't want
to be near them at that time
481
00:28:30,476 --> 00:28:31,978
until they get
their little muesli bar.
482
00:28:32,044 --> 00:28:35,882
A lot of people
that have the experience
of craving sweet foods
483
00:28:35,948 --> 00:28:38,150
and then succumbing
to eating them
484
00:28:38,217 --> 00:28:41,954
imagine that
they lack self control,
or they have a weak will,
485
00:28:42,021 --> 00:28:43,489
or an inadequate personality,
486
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:46,826
but actually, the reality is
for the majority
of these people,
487
00:28:46,893 --> 00:28:49,361
the problem isn't some sort
of psychological frailty,
488
00:28:49,428 --> 00:28:51,330
it's a physiological imbalance.
489
00:28:51,397 --> 00:28:53,933
And very often,
that imbalance has been induced
490
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,905
by eating
a supposedly "healthy,"
low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet.
491
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,883
The majority of people
with Coeliac Disease
492
00:29:10,950 --> 00:29:15,187
don't have digestive...
uh, symptoms.
493
00:29:16,055 --> 00:29:17,523
So most people think
it's Coeliac Disease,
494
00:29:17,589 --> 00:29:19,358
they think,
"Oh, you got GI issues.
You have stomach aches,
495
00:29:19,425 --> 00:29:20,827
and you have
all this kind of stuff."
496
00:29:20,893 --> 00:29:23,195
And that's not the case at all.
497
00:29:23,262 --> 00:29:24,831
Most people don't have
those symptoms.
498
00:29:24,897 --> 00:29:28,200
Most people are
just munching away
on their Wonder Bread and stuff,
499
00:29:28,267 --> 00:29:31,537
and they have no idea
that by eating that
500
00:29:31,603 --> 00:29:35,307
that's tied to their migraines
or their, you know...
501
00:29:35,374 --> 00:29:37,309
whatever other condition
that they have.
502
00:29:37,376 --> 00:29:39,611
Whether it's gluten intolerance
or Coeliac Disease,
503
00:29:39,678 --> 00:29:42,348
it can manifest
in any part of your body.
504
00:29:42,414 --> 00:29:43,983
Not just the digestive tract.
505
00:29:44,050 --> 00:29:47,319
Most people think
"Oh, I don't have stomach ache,
then I'm fine."
506
00:29:47,386 --> 00:29:48,921
And that's not the case at all.
507
00:29:48,988 --> 00:29:50,022
It's actually...
508
00:29:51,590 --> 00:29:53,459
almost on the verge of scary
509
00:29:53,525 --> 00:29:56,929
how much it can make me...
not be pleasant.
510
00:29:56,996 --> 00:29:58,064
I mean, like a...
511
00:29:59,365 --> 00:30:00,366
complete asshole.
512
00:30:00,432 --> 00:30:03,502
I mean, just, like,
a complete jerk.
513
00:30:03,569 --> 00:30:06,272
And I know
that I'm being a jerk,
514
00:30:06,338 --> 00:30:08,474
so it's like, I'm like,
"God, why are you being..."
515
00:30:08,540 --> 00:30:12,111
And it's just...
It's like I can't do anything
to change it.
516
00:30:14,580 --> 00:30:16,115
Yeah, gluten is nasty.
517
00:30:16,182 --> 00:30:20,152
There seems to be
an increasingly-recognized
correlation
518
00:30:20,219 --> 00:30:23,890
between gluten issues
and brain issues.
519
00:30:23,956 --> 00:30:29,161
And whether that's the form
of neurodegenerative diseases
520
00:30:29,228 --> 00:30:31,597
like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's,
521
00:30:31,663 --> 00:30:36,602
whether that's
attention deficit disorders
in children,
522
00:30:36,668 --> 00:30:38,570
whether that's even autism.
523
00:30:53,152 --> 00:30:55,254
You know,
conventional wisdom is,
524
00:30:55,321 --> 00:30:56,855
"Grains are good,
and you gotta eat..."
525
00:30:56,923 --> 00:30:59,058
however many servings
they say you have to eat
of grains now
526
00:30:59,125 --> 00:31:00,759
and stuff like that.
527
00:31:00,826 --> 00:31:03,963
People need to question
where that came from,
how that came about,
528
00:31:04,563 --> 00:31:06,432
why that started,
why we're doing all that.
529
00:31:06,498 --> 00:31:07,499
Not just...
530
00:31:09,101 --> 00:31:10,702
accepting it at face value.
531
00:31:10,769 --> 00:31:15,307
There's ample evidence
that grains are detrimental
to health
532
00:31:15,374 --> 00:31:18,477
because of
their anti-nutrient qualities.
533
00:31:18,544 --> 00:31:20,646
So, basically,
they contain compounds
534
00:31:20,712 --> 00:31:24,516
that are harmful
and detrimental to the gut.
535
00:31:24,583 --> 00:31:26,152
So they affect digestion.
536
00:31:26,218 --> 00:31:28,054
They irritate
the lining of the gut.
537
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,356
They prevent certain nutrients
from being absorbed.
538
00:31:30,422 --> 00:31:32,658
By doing so,
you're not getting the best
539
00:31:32,724 --> 00:31:34,260
out of the other foods
that you're eating.
540
00:31:34,326 --> 00:31:36,295
When our colon is damaged...
541
00:31:36,362 --> 00:31:38,264
It's protected by one cell,
542
00:31:38,330 --> 00:31:39,966
with protection,
543
00:31:40,032 --> 00:31:42,001
so it's easy to--
Like this.
544
00:31:42,068 --> 00:31:43,302
I just damaged my colon.
545
00:31:43,369 --> 00:31:45,571
That's all it would take,
something like that,
546
00:31:45,637 --> 00:31:48,140
that kind of an irritation,
like that.
547
00:32:06,225 --> 00:32:09,561
Our mum had, like,
a wheat and gluten intolerance,
548
00:32:09,628 --> 00:32:11,163
and we've both kind of
picked that up as well,
549
00:32:11,230 --> 00:32:14,266
So, I think
one of the biggest things
for me especially
550
00:32:14,333 --> 00:32:16,602
is the fact that
I'm not bloated anymore.
551
00:32:16,668 --> 00:32:22,008
I'm not... I don't feel
that real lethargy
after I've eaten a big meal.
552
00:32:22,074 --> 00:32:25,677
And I'm now eating
feeling sustainably full,
553
00:32:25,744 --> 00:32:28,147
and then feeling good an hour,
two hours later,
554
00:32:28,214 --> 00:32:31,183
rather than wanting
to sort of fall asleep
on the sofa.
555
00:32:31,250 --> 00:32:33,452
-Yeah, that was big.
-Big difference, definitely.
556
00:32:33,819 --> 00:32:36,255
-Mark, will you bring me down
some packs, mate?
-Yeah.
557
00:32:36,322 --> 00:32:37,956
Can I have some mango?
558
00:32:38,490 --> 00:32:40,092
[Mark] I used to work shifts
in a hospital,
559
00:32:40,159 --> 00:32:43,095
so coming from a shift,
to the gym to work out,
560
00:32:43,162 --> 00:32:45,564
there was nothing available.
I couldn't just stop
in a supermarket,
561
00:32:45,631 --> 00:32:47,466
and that really frustrated me.
562
00:32:47,533 --> 00:32:48,534
And there was nothing.
563
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,336
You could either buy
a chicken breast
564
00:32:50,402 --> 00:32:53,239
that was pumped full
of potato starch,
or rice starch, or something.
565
00:32:53,305 --> 00:32:54,706
Or you could have some fruit.
566
00:32:54,773 --> 00:32:57,576
And there was nothing complete,
nothing that would help us,
567
00:32:57,643 --> 00:33:00,112
so we decided
to do it ourselves.
568
00:33:18,197 --> 00:33:22,101
[Peter] If we'd have known
what we know now,
like, 10 or 15 years ago,
569
00:33:22,534 --> 00:33:26,538
we would have changed,
like, someone's life
that's really close to us.
570
00:33:26,605 --> 00:33:29,508
Like, our mum died from cancer,
571
00:33:29,575 --> 00:33:35,514
so... if we'd have known
all this stuff 15, 20 years ago,
572
00:33:35,581 --> 00:33:36,982
potentially,
we could have changed it,
you know.
573
00:33:37,049 --> 00:33:40,219
Yeah, we maybe couldn't have
changed the fact that she died,
574
00:33:40,286 --> 00:33:42,121
-but we could have probably...
-Yeah.
575
00:33:42,188 --> 00:33:44,290
Made a big impact.
576
00:33:45,291 --> 00:33:47,159
Yeah, definitely. So it's...
577
00:33:47,226 --> 00:33:49,695
And this is why, like,
it's so close to us.
578
00:33:49,761 --> 00:33:55,667
And the gym,
and the whole ethos is
a lifestyle shift,
579
00:33:55,734 --> 00:33:59,571
and we just wanna try
and help, like... shift that,
580
00:33:59,638 --> 00:34:02,408
'cause we know that
there's better stuff out there,
you know.
581
00:34:11,717 --> 00:34:15,654
For an increasing proportion
of the population,
582
00:34:15,721 --> 00:34:19,425
the grains are very inflammatory
in the bowel,
583
00:34:19,491 --> 00:34:22,661
and that sets up
a lot of inflammation
elsewhere in the body.
584
00:34:22,728 --> 00:34:26,732
And since inflammation
is the main driver
for disease,
585
00:34:26,798 --> 00:34:29,067
then we wanna keep
the inflammation low.
586
00:34:30,569 --> 00:34:34,673
Back when I was still eating
a standard, American diet,
587
00:34:34,740 --> 00:34:37,343
and I was
a traditionally-practicing
physician,
588
00:34:37,409 --> 00:34:41,613
I had a daughter who struggled
with a lot of health issues.
589
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,816
Primarily,
gastrointestinal-type issues.
590
00:34:45,617 --> 00:34:50,156
So, we went the gamut of
the traditional medicine model.
591
00:34:50,222 --> 00:34:52,191
You know,
she saw gastroenterologists,
592
00:34:52,258 --> 00:34:54,660
and had studies done,
593
00:34:54,726 --> 00:34:57,463
and was given medications,
594
00:34:57,529 --> 00:35:00,866
none of which
made any difference
in her situation.
595
00:35:00,932 --> 00:35:05,237
And then she, on her own,
596
00:35:05,304 --> 00:35:07,573
tried different kinds of diets.
597
00:35:07,639 --> 00:35:09,275
'Cause she knew intuitively
598
00:35:09,341 --> 00:35:13,512
that there had to be
a dietary component
to what was going on,
599
00:35:13,579 --> 00:35:15,914
even though I couldn't really
guide her at that point.
600
00:35:15,981 --> 00:35:18,717
But she tried vegetarianism
and veganism.
601
00:35:18,784 --> 00:35:21,187
None of those
were healthy for her either.
602
00:35:21,253 --> 00:35:25,457
She ended up in the hospital
several times actually.
603
00:35:27,526 --> 00:35:32,831
At the time, my mom was
a very conventional physician
of Western medicine,
604
00:35:32,898 --> 00:35:36,268
and she did not agree at all
with what I was doing.
605
00:35:36,335 --> 00:35:39,438
I mean, at the point,
her belief system was
606
00:35:39,505 --> 00:35:43,775
that supplements and medication
could really help cure
chronic conditions.
607
00:35:43,842 --> 00:35:46,945
It was a relief to me
to see her improving finally.
608
00:35:47,012 --> 00:35:51,917
I did feel badly
I didn't have the knowledge base
years earlier
609
00:35:51,983 --> 00:35:54,253
that I could have helped her.
610
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,323
You know, I grew up
living off of these foods
611
00:35:57,389 --> 00:36:00,826
that were in the middle
of these alleys
of the grocery stores
612
00:36:00,892 --> 00:36:03,662
when nothing I was eating
was ever alive.
613
00:36:03,729 --> 00:36:06,865
And that's what we're taught,
and it's just so broken to me.
614
00:36:08,634 --> 00:36:13,472
As a kid,
when I ate stuff like this,
I drained half the box.
615
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,775
-[Woman] A big bowl?
-A big bowl.
616
00:36:16,842 --> 00:36:19,010
So there's 18 servings.
617
00:36:19,077 --> 00:36:20,512
Let's just round it off
and say 20.
618
00:36:20,579 --> 00:36:25,351
So let's say when, you know,
the kid goes to town on this,
619
00:36:25,417 --> 00:36:26,618
you've got 10 servings.
620
00:36:26,685 --> 00:36:29,255
That's like 270 grams of carbs
in a sitting,
621
00:36:29,321 --> 00:36:31,623
which is a piece of cake to do.
622
00:36:31,690 --> 00:36:34,426
-Absolutely no problem
with that.
-That's huge.
623
00:36:34,493 --> 00:36:35,961
Yeah, same serving size.
624
00:36:36,027 --> 00:36:39,030
Even a little more
carbohydrate-dense.
625
00:36:39,097 --> 00:36:42,734
And, you know, honestly,
this stuff would be so sweet
626
00:36:42,801 --> 00:36:47,706
that I might even
at less than that
in a way even as a kid.
627
00:36:47,773 --> 00:36:51,577
So, then you've got the Kashi.
It's whole-grain,
628
00:36:51,643 --> 00:36:55,414
and, you know,
it looks like hurt seals
are being saved on this thing,
629
00:36:55,481 --> 00:36:56,748
and all that stuff.
630
00:36:56,815 --> 00:36:59,985
So their serving
is a little bit larger.
631
00:37:00,051 --> 00:37:01,487
It's a full cup.
632
00:37:01,553 --> 00:37:03,622
It's 41 grams of carbs.
633
00:37:03,689 --> 00:37:07,025
So, really, I think this one
is even more carb-dense than...
634
00:37:07,092 --> 00:37:10,696
-[Woman] Than the other.
-Than the Frosted Flakes are.
635
00:37:10,762 --> 00:37:13,965
So, yeah, this stuff
is so damn yummy,
636
00:37:14,032 --> 00:37:18,036
and it's really
just not very good for you,
637
00:37:18,103 --> 00:37:20,506
just given
the carbohydrate content.
638
00:37:20,572 --> 00:37:23,309
And, again,
nobody is gonna sit down
and eat a cup of this.
639
00:37:23,375 --> 00:37:25,877
Well, you know, I think
it's probably easy
in the morning
640
00:37:25,944 --> 00:37:29,915
for kids to get up
and eat cereal
and have some milk.
641
00:37:29,981 --> 00:37:31,450
But what we're seeing
is an epidemic
642
00:37:31,517 --> 00:37:35,687
of obesity
and insulin resistance
with children today.
643
00:37:35,754 --> 00:37:38,857
-Right.
-Which is... And diabetes,
644
00:37:38,924 --> 00:37:40,592
which is a huge problem.
645
00:37:40,659 --> 00:37:43,695
And these boxes
and bags of food
646
00:37:43,762 --> 00:37:46,398
that are prepared
with high carbohydrates
and high sugar
647
00:37:46,465 --> 00:37:48,600
-are definitely causing that.
-Right.
648
00:37:50,402 --> 00:37:51,837
And the soda at lunch
649
00:37:51,903 --> 00:37:55,341
and the Gatorade
at the soccer game
before dinner. Yeah.
650
00:37:55,407 --> 00:37:57,776
And pretty soon,
they have a carbohydrate load
651
00:37:57,843 --> 00:38:01,880
-that far exceeds anything that
any human should ever consume.
-Right.
652
00:38:02,714 --> 00:38:05,817
So sugar comes, obviously,
from sugar in the diet,
653
00:38:05,884 --> 00:38:07,853
but it also comes from starch.
654
00:38:07,919 --> 00:38:09,721
Starch is sugar.
655
00:38:09,788 --> 00:38:12,524
It's just chains
of glucose molecules.
656
00:38:13,058 --> 00:38:14,493
When we eat starchy foods,
657
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,964
like bread, potatoes, rice,
pasta, and breakfast cereals,
658
00:38:19,030 --> 00:38:20,999
generally,
we get considerable amounts
659
00:38:21,066 --> 00:38:23,435
of sugar liberated
into the bloodstream.
660
00:38:23,502 --> 00:38:27,373
It will obviously lead
to considerable surges
in the hormone insulin.
661
00:38:27,906 --> 00:38:30,008
The purpose of insulin
in that stage is
662
00:38:30,075 --> 00:38:34,813
to force the blood glucose
into muscle tissue,
into the cells
663
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:35,914
to be utilized as energy.
664
00:38:35,981 --> 00:38:38,149
Any the excess
is stored in the liver.
665
00:38:38,216 --> 00:38:40,151
Longer-term storage is glycogen.
666
00:38:40,218 --> 00:38:43,622
And then beyond that,
it's stored as fat.
667
00:39:02,207 --> 00:39:07,479
Elevated insulin basically means
we have a constant supply
of energy,
668
00:39:07,546 --> 00:39:11,149
and so, there is no need
for your body to break down
further energy stores,
669
00:39:11,216 --> 00:39:13,184
i.e. fat stores,
to provide energy.
670
00:39:13,251 --> 00:39:14,953
So, what insulin does is
671
00:39:15,020 --> 00:39:18,189
facilitate the uptake of fat
into the fat cells.
672
00:39:18,256 --> 00:39:19,858
The fat can get out again,
673
00:39:19,925 --> 00:39:24,162
but unfortunately,
insulin reduces
the body's ability to do that.
674
00:39:24,229 --> 00:39:26,432
It impairs
what we call "lipolysis",
675
00:39:26,498 --> 00:39:29,901
which is fancy language
for release of fat basically.
676
00:39:29,968 --> 00:39:31,603
Eating little and often,
677
00:39:31,670 --> 00:39:35,707
which is what
conventional wisdom tells us
to manage blood glucose,
678
00:39:35,774 --> 00:39:39,010
is far less effective
than eating a larger meal.
679
00:39:39,077 --> 00:39:41,880
We're always digesting
and never building.
680
00:39:41,947 --> 00:39:45,784
It's the wrong system.
We need to eat,
absorb what we're eating,
681
00:39:45,851 --> 00:39:47,986
digest it,
build an anabolic environment.
682
00:39:48,053 --> 00:39:50,989
Go hours without eating.
Then eat again.
683
00:39:51,056 --> 00:39:54,726
So, we're not grazers.
We're not ruminants.
684
00:39:54,793 --> 00:39:57,896
There's just something wrong
with that whole concept,
685
00:39:57,963 --> 00:40:01,600
evolutionary,
dietary health-wise.
686
00:40:01,667 --> 00:40:03,268
If you're eating a diet
687
00:40:03,334 --> 00:40:06,772
based on foods
that help basically
bring insulin levels down,
688
00:40:06,838 --> 00:40:08,707
stabilize blood sugar levels,
689
00:40:08,774 --> 00:40:12,110
then you're going
to facilitate fat loss.
690
00:40:12,177 --> 00:40:15,681
You can effectively then
use that fat as a fuel,
691
00:40:15,747 --> 00:40:17,716
a bit like a hibernating bear.
692
00:40:17,783 --> 00:40:22,821
Once I cut out the grains
and the really high-carby stuff,
693
00:40:23,622 --> 00:40:26,925
I was able to go
hours and hours without eating,
694
00:40:26,992 --> 00:40:29,695
and I might feel hungry.
I might feel like I need to eat.
695
00:40:29,761 --> 00:40:31,262
I'm getting to the point
where I'm hungry.
696
00:40:31,329 --> 00:40:32,731
But it wasn't an emergency.
697
00:40:32,798 --> 00:40:36,234
I could go without eating,
which I found really strange,
698
00:40:36,301 --> 00:40:37,402
and not feel really hungry.
699
00:40:37,469 --> 00:40:38,604
And then eat dinner,
and then be fine,
700
00:40:38,670 --> 00:40:41,239
and then continue eating
the next day as normal.
701
00:40:41,306 --> 00:40:43,975
Essentially, feeding off
your own fat
702
00:40:44,042 --> 00:40:47,913
coupled with the fact
that you've probably stabilized
blood sugar levels
703
00:40:47,979 --> 00:40:51,850
and are gonna be less prone
to low blood sugar levels
that can trigger hunger
704
00:40:51,917 --> 00:40:55,587
is going to leave people
fundamentally less hungry.
705
00:40:55,654 --> 00:41:00,626
If you take individuals
off their supposedly healthy
high-carb diet
706
00:41:00,692 --> 00:41:04,062
and put them on something
a bit lower-carb,
a bit more Paleo,
707
00:41:04,129 --> 00:41:06,264
then they automatically
eat less.
708
00:41:06,331 --> 00:41:08,299
And I've seen this
time and again in practice.
709
00:41:08,366 --> 00:41:15,507
Typically, people will eat
several hundred calories less
each day eating this way.
710
00:41:16,908 --> 00:41:20,211
So now, you have a diet
that facilitates fat loss,
711
00:41:20,278 --> 00:41:22,548
that is fundamentally healthy,
712
00:41:22,614 --> 00:41:24,850
that does not
leave people hungry.
713
00:41:27,318 --> 00:41:31,289
[Boris] I went through
a very significant stage
714
00:41:31,356 --> 00:41:33,625
of a classic
body builder's diet
715
00:41:33,692 --> 00:41:36,327
in the sense
of many small meals a day
716
00:41:36,394 --> 00:41:39,798
with a decline in carbohydrates
throughout the day.
717
00:41:39,865 --> 00:41:41,099
Absolutely no fat.
718
00:41:41,166 --> 00:41:45,236
And so, this lead
to several crash diets even
719
00:41:45,303 --> 00:41:47,739
because I wasn't able
to shed fat.
720
00:41:50,676 --> 00:41:55,280
I actually invented
a diet of my own
at a certain point,
721
00:41:55,346 --> 00:41:58,950
which was a bar of chocolate
and many liters of water a day.
722
00:42:00,085 --> 00:42:02,754
Just to say how far it went.
723
00:42:02,821 --> 00:42:09,094
It led to a very unnatural
and disturbed take on diet
and relation with food.
724
00:42:09,761 --> 00:42:13,131
From the age of 16
until the age of about 25...
725
00:42:13,198 --> 00:42:14,332
That's almost 10 years.
726
00:42:14,399 --> 00:42:17,202
I was obsessed
with eating low-fat food.
727
00:42:17,268 --> 00:42:19,070
It was drilled into me
728
00:42:19,137 --> 00:42:22,173
through magazine articles
and TV ads,
729
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:24,142
and everything
had to be low-fat.
730
00:42:24,209 --> 00:42:25,844
Who knows
how much damage I've done
731
00:42:25,911 --> 00:42:30,749
by cutting out
all the actual goodness
of saturated fats in the foods.
732
00:42:30,816 --> 00:42:32,383
That just kind of stuck with me.
733
00:42:32,450 --> 00:42:35,253
That was
the hardest thing to shift
when I started eating Paleo.
734
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,290
To shift my thinking
from saturated fat is bad
735
00:42:39,357 --> 00:42:42,293
to actually, saturated fat
is not the enemy.
736
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:47,032
It's the high-processed sugars
and carbohydrates that's causing
a lot of the problems.
737
00:42:47,098 --> 00:42:48,900
Reality is
if you look at the evidence,
738
00:42:48,967 --> 00:42:51,236
there isn't really
much to be feared in fat.
739
00:42:51,302 --> 00:42:54,005
It doesn't appear
to be inherently fattening.
740
00:42:54,740 --> 00:42:56,942
And that's possibly
because of its impact
741
00:42:57,008 --> 00:43:00,311
or lack of impact
on certain hormones,
including insulin.
742
00:43:00,378 --> 00:43:03,181
It helps transport
essential fatty acids
743
00:43:03,248 --> 00:43:06,785
and fat-soluble vitamins
and nutrients to our body.
744
00:43:06,852 --> 00:43:08,654
Without that ability,
745
00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:11,990
we wouldn't be able to absorb
all our fat-soluble vitamins
and nutrients.
746
00:43:12,057 --> 00:43:14,059
A low-fat diet
makes that very difficult.
747
00:43:14,125 --> 00:43:17,028
There are many ways
to lose weight.
748
00:43:17,095 --> 00:43:20,666
And some people can lose weight
on a low-fat diet.
749
00:43:20,732 --> 00:43:24,670
I was able to manage my weight
for a very long time
based on a low-fat diet,
750
00:43:24,736 --> 00:43:25,871
but I wasn't healthy.
751
00:43:27,673 --> 00:43:31,109
So, weight alone is not...
shouldn't be seen as the mark
of good health.
752
00:43:31,176 --> 00:43:32,844
Though I was
on very low-fat diets,
753
00:43:32,911 --> 00:43:34,212
you know,
your skin will deteriorate.
754
00:43:34,279 --> 00:43:37,282
Your hair will be in, you know,
much worse condition.
755
00:43:37,348 --> 00:43:41,252
In the world
of very low-fat diets being
fashionable to normal,
756
00:43:41,319 --> 00:43:43,722
conventional wisdom telling us,
"That's the norm."
757
00:43:43,789 --> 00:43:46,725
We tend to kind of avoid
dietary fat,
758
00:43:46,792 --> 00:43:47,993
but it's extremely important.
759
00:43:48,059 --> 00:43:49,695
For myself, as being male,
760
00:43:49,761 --> 00:43:53,231
and suffering
from low testosterone
for much of my adult life,
761
00:43:53,298 --> 00:43:58,269
part of that reason
was because I wasn't eating
any, any, any fat
762
00:43:58,336 --> 00:43:59,604
that I could be aware of.
763
00:43:59,671 --> 00:44:03,141
I was minimizing fat
at every single opportunity.
764
00:44:03,208 --> 00:44:07,846
And it wasn't till I started
adding dietary fat to my diet,
765
00:44:07,913 --> 00:44:10,816
that I started to have
healthy levels of testosterone.
766
00:44:10,882 --> 00:44:12,818
If we did not eat fat,
we would die.
767
00:44:12,884 --> 00:44:16,287
There's essential fatty acids.
There are essential amino acids.
768
00:44:16,354 --> 00:44:18,023
If we do not eat protein,
we will die.
769
00:44:18,089 --> 00:44:20,025
There are
no essential carbohydrates.
770
00:44:20,091 --> 00:44:24,295
The fact that we're suffering
from a lot of diseases
in terms of mental degeneration.
771
00:44:24,362 --> 00:44:28,734
A lot of this, again, is linked
to excess carbohydrates
and not enough...
772
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,702
And this following
a low-fat diet.
773
00:44:31,102 --> 00:44:32,804
Most of our brain is fat.
774
00:44:32,871 --> 00:44:34,940
Our cell membranes
are part of fat.
775
00:44:35,006 --> 00:44:38,176
It provides structure
and integrity to every cell
in the body.
776
00:44:38,243 --> 00:44:40,378
It's not just an energy source.
777
00:44:40,445 --> 00:44:42,113
But as an energy source,
778
00:44:42,180 --> 00:44:46,451
it is far superior
to glucose and carbohydrates
in every measure.
779
00:44:46,517 --> 00:44:47,819
It's the preferred fuel
for our heart.
780
00:44:47,886 --> 00:44:51,990
A lot of hormones are reliant
on access to dietary fat
781
00:44:52,057 --> 00:44:53,558
and cholesterol,
dietary cholesterol.
782
00:44:53,624 --> 00:44:56,461
My family is
one of those families
with "high cholesterol."
783
00:44:56,527 --> 00:44:59,397
My grandma has been eating
margarine since the 50s
784
00:44:59,464 --> 00:45:01,900
when one of her family members
had a heart attack
at a young age
785
00:45:01,967 --> 00:45:04,535
and is still horrified
of an egg yolk.
786
00:45:04,602 --> 00:45:06,337
[Farley]
Some people find a correlation
787
00:45:06,404 --> 00:45:08,539
between dietary cholesterol
and heart disease.
788
00:45:08,606 --> 00:45:10,375
That's wrong.
789
00:45:10,441 --> 00:45:14,212
The problem with cholesterol
and heart disease is
oxidated cholesterol,
790
00:45:14,279 --> 00:45:16,214
which is inflamed cholesterol.
791
00:45:16,281 --> 00:45:18,283
Not dietary
or serum cholesterols.
792
00:45:18,349 --> 00:45:20,251
When you have an inflammation
in the body,
793
00:45:20,318 --> 00:45:21,452
you can oxidize
your cholesterol,
794
00:45:21,519 --> 00:45:22,788
and that can cause problems.
795
00:45:22,854 --> 00:45:26,925
So the issue is not to eliminate
or suppress cholesterol,
796
00:45:26,992 --> 00:45:28,493
which is fundamental
to our health.
797
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:32,297
In fact, it's the most powerful
antioxidant in our body,
798
00:45:32,363 --> 00:45:33,965
and now, we're suppressing it.
799
00:45:34,032 --> 00:45:36,802
What we should be doing
is eliminating the cause
of the inflammation.
800
00:45:36,868 --> 00:45:38,469
What's the cause
of the inflammation?
801
00:45:38,536 --> 00:45:40,305
Bad dietary choices.
802
00:45:40,371 --> 00:45:43,074
Our rush towards a diet
away from fat
803
00:45:43,141 --> 00:45:44,876
towards carbohydrate-rich foods
804
00:45:44,943 --> 00:45:50,148
could actually be fueling rates
of, for example, overweight
and obesity,
805
00:45:50,215 --> 00:45:51,749
but also allied problems
806
00:45:51,817 --> 00:45:55,253
including
cardiovascular disease,
heart disease, and stroke,
807
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,088
and what we call
type two diabetes.
808
00:46:13,905 --> 00:46:15,907
One of the pervading theories
809
00:46:15,974 --> 00:46:18,543
as to what it is
that actually causes illness,
810
00:46:18,609 --> 00:46:20,979
be it type two diabetes,
811
00:46:21,046 --> 00:46:24,215
or excess weight,
or cardiovascular disease,
812
00:46:24,282 --> 00:46:27,986
relates
to a physiological process
known as inflammation.
813
00:46:28,053 --> 00:46:32,423
So for example,
if I, you know, kick a table
hard enough with bare feet,
814
00:46:32,490 --> 00:46:36,928
after an hour or two,
I'm gonna have a red,
swollen, tender toe.
815
00:46:36,995 --> 00:46:38,363
That is inflammation.
816
00:46:38,429 --> 00:46:39,865
But we're talking about here
817
00:46:39,931 --> 00:46:43,134
a sort of
lower-grade inflammation
throughout the body.
818
00:46:43,201 --> 00:46:45,136
What's called
systemic inflammation.
819
00:46:45,203 --> 00:46:47,605
Basically, it's inflammation
that occurs in the body
820
00:46:47,672 --> 00:46:49,474
that isn't easily detected
821
00:46:49,540 --> 00:46:51,609
on a kind of microscopic level.
822
00:46:51,676 --> 00:46:53,945
That's the kind of
starting point
823
00:46:54,012 --> 00:46:56,181
for a lot of chronic
lifestyle diseases.
824
00:46:56,247 --> 00:47:01,252
Now, systemic inflammation
appears to be a potent cause
of excess weight
825
00:47:01,319 --> 00:47:02,921
and other chronic diseases.
826
00:47:04,422 --> 00:47:07,058
One of the things
that causes inflammation
within the body
827
00:47:07,125 --> 00:47:09,227
is spikes in blood sugar.
828
00:47:09,294 --> 00:47:12,998
Now, that is another reason
for not eating a diet
829
00:47:13,064 --> 00:47:17,602
replete with foods
that actually cause
spikes in blood sugar.
830
00:47:17,668 --> 00:47:21,272
Some can be caused by exercise,
or stress, or injury,
831
00:47:21,339 --> 00:47:26,344
but most of the negative
inflammatory responses
are from our modern diet,
832
00:47:26,411 --> 00:47:28,980
and those are foods
that we're not designed to eat,
833
00:47:29,047 --> 00:47:33,084
and that's grains, legumes,
processed foods,
pasteurized dairy.
834
00:47:33,151 --> 00:47:36,154
Another thing we know
causes inflammation
835
00:47:36,221 --> 00:47:39,424
is a sort of fat
called the omega-6 fats
836
00:47:39,490 --> 00:47:42,127
that we find, for example,
in vegetable oils.
837
00:47:42,593 --> 00:47:46,531
So you find it in sunflower oil,
or safflower oil,
or soy oil.
838
00:47:47,432 --> 00:47:52,670
So very often,
we're advised to eat these
in preference to saturated fat.
839
00:47:52,737 --> 00:47:54,005
But actually,
there's an argument
840
00:47:54,072 --> 00:47:57,976
for saying that the inflammation
caused by omega-6 fats,
841
00:47:58,043 --> 00:47:59,610
as I say, in vegetable oils,
842
00:47:59,677 --> 00:48:02,180
is something that
we should probably avoid.
843
00:48:03,081 --> 00:48:04,849
As our gut becomes
more permeable,
844
00:48:04,916 --> 00:48:09,654
larger and larger molecules
can move through our gut
into the bloodstream.
845
00:48:09,720 --> 00:48:12,323
The body doesn't recognize
these as me.
846
00:48:12,390 --> 00:48:14,159
It recognizes them as not me,
847
00:48:14,225 --> 00:48:16,594
so it develops
an antibody to attack it.
848
00:48:16,661 --> 00:48:17,996
Now, these things,
these little structures,
849
00:48:18,063 --> 00:48:21,466
tend to resemble
other parts of our body
that are me.
850
00:48:21,532 --> 00:48:24,302
So as the antibodies go in
and attack that thing,
851
00:48:24,369 --> 00:48:26,204
then they go...
They're moving
down the bloodstream,
852
00:48:26,271 --> 00:48:29,707
and they go, "Oh!
That knee joint looks a lot like
that thing I just attacked."
853
00:48:29,774 --> 00:48:33,044
And it attacks the knee,
or it attacks something else.
854
00:48:33,111 --> 00:48:35,413
As the inflammation gets worse,
855
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,582
the assault
on the colon continues
856
00:48:37,648 --> 00:48:41,486
through this excess of grain,
and legume, and processed food,
857
00:48:41,552 --> 00:48:44,122
the junctions widen,
and widen, and widen,
858
00:48:44,189 --> 00:48:47,525
and the problem gets
more and more exacerbated
and more and more serious.
859
00:48:47,592 --> 00:48:50,528
There is significant evidence
that this type of inflammation
860
00:48:50,595 --> 00:48:53,231
leads to a whole host
of modern lifestyle diseases
861
00:48:53,298 --> 00:48:56,334
from heart disease, strokes,
diabetes, cancer...
862
00:48:56,401 --> 00:48:59,237
The whole gamut
of modern lifestyle disease.
863
00:48:59,304 --> 00:49:01,672
Whatever is weakest
in your body,
864
00:49:01,739 --> 00:49:05,210
the inflammation will attack
and have the most damage to.
865
00:49:05,276 --> 00:49:08,146
We see the symptoms manifest
866
00:49:08,213 --> 00:49:10,215
perhaps uniquely
in different individuals,
867
00:49:10,281 --> 00:49:14,319
but they share a common cause,
poor food choices in their diet.
868
00:49:14,385 --> 00:49:16,454
Repeated exposure
to certain foodstuffs,
869
00:49:16,521 --> 00:49:18,556
repeated exposure to toxins,
870
00:49:18,623 --> 00:49:22,460
the inability
for the body to defend itself
in the long term
871
00:49:22,527 --> 00:49:25,330
is what allows disease
to manifest itself,
872
00:49:25,396 --> 00:49:26,897
and that takes
a significant period of time.
873
00:49:26,964 --> 00:49:30,201
So this isn't about
a short-term exposure
to, say, gluten.
874
00:49:30,268 --> 00:49:33,471
It's what happens
over repeated exposure
875
00:49:34,139 --> 00:49:36,641
from years, to decades,
876
00:49:36,707 --> 00:49:41,312
to a generation or so
of exposure to these foods
that becomes harmful
877
00:49:41,379 --> 00:49:46,317
and affects us
in terms of long-term,
chronic lifestyle disease.
878
00:49:46,384 --> 00:49:49,020
[Commercial Narrator]
New squeeze-on Chiffon
Liquid Margarine.
879
00:49:49,420 --> 00:49:51,089
The squeeze is on.
880
00:49:51,156 --> 00:49:54,492
[John]
There are some fats in the diet
that really should be avoided.
881
00:49:54,559 --> 00:49:57,095
For example,
the industrially-produced fats,
882
00:49:57,162 --> 00:49:58,763
so processed fats.
883
00:49:58,829 --> 00:50:02,467
One example of that
are what we call
partially hydrogenated fats
884
00:50:02,533 --> 00:50:05,303
that are used in the processing
of many processed foods,
885
00:50:05,370 --> 00:50:06,837
including some margarines.
886
00:50:06,904 --> 00:50:09,074
There are other forms
of processing.
887
00:50:09,140 --> 00:50:11,109
There's something called
interesterification
888
00:50:11,176 --> 00:50:14,812
which involves basically
chopping up fats with enzymes
889
00:50:14,879 --> 00:50:18,116
and then reassembling them
into completely novel fats.
890
00:50:18,183 --> 00:50:20,785
Trans fats are
extremely unhealthy.
891
00:50:20,851 --> 00:50:23,621
They have been linked
to heart disease.
892
00:50:23,688 --> 00:50:26,691
They are a man-made product
by and large.
893
00:50:28,493 --> 00:50:30,595
[Farley] When we eat fat
that's been overheated
894
00:50:30,661 --> 00:50:32,697
or chemically altered,
895
00:50:32,763 --> 00:50:35,300
they're now in a structure
that our body doesn't recognize,
896
00:50:35,366 --> 00:50:36,834
and it doesn't know
what to do with them.
897
00:50:36,901 --> 00:50:39,737
It has to be stored somehow
as a toxin,
898
00:50:39,804 --> 00:50:41,839
maybe surrounded in body fat,
899
00:50:41,906 --> 00:50:43,508
or it causes an inflammation.
900
00:50:43,574 --> 00:50:44,942
It's not
a healthy source of fat,
901
00:50:45,009 --> 00:50:47,445
and our body recognizes it
and has to try to deal with it.
902
00:50:47,512 --> 00:50:49,180
That's why... I mean,
903
00:50:49,247 --> 00:50:51,382
you can see even conventionally,
a lot of manufacturers
are now trying
904
00:50:51,449 --> 00:50:53,118
to reduce the amount
of trans fats
905
00:50:53,184 --> 00:50:54,485
or eliminate
trans fats entirely,
906
00:50:54,552 --> 00:50:56,454
because the evidence
is overwhelming
907
00:50:56,521 --> 00:50:58,756
that they are
an unhealthy source of fat.
908
00:51:00,591 --> 00:51:02,893
On the other hand,
I think there's nothing
to be feared
909
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,696
in fats found naturally
in the diet.
910
00:51:05,763 --> 00:51:08,433
Particularly in whole foods
911
00:51:08,499 --> 00:51:11,236
where you find those fats
naturally within that food.
912
00:51:11,302 --> 00:51:12,503
For example, a piece of meat.
913
00:51:13,704 --> 00:51:15,140
[Irena] When I talk to people
about what I eat,
914
00:51:15,206 --> 00:51:19,310
they get surprised that I'm...
That I look the way that I look,
915
00:51:19,377 --> 00:51:22,780
and I'm not huge...
As big as a couch,
916
00:51:22,847 --> 00:51:24,749
because I do eat
a lot of saturated fat.
917
00:51:24,815 --> 00:51:27,652
You know, I eat lots of eggs,
and lots of butter, um...
918
00:51:28,753 --> 00:51:29,754
meat.
919
00:51:29,820 --> 00:51:30,988
You know, I eat
fatty cuts of meat.
920
00:51:31,055 --> 00:51:32,257
I love my pork belly
and things like that.
921
00:51:34,259 --> 00:51:36,627
I never used to cook
with certain parts of meat.
922
00:51:36,694 --> 00:51:39,630
You know, it was always
chicken breast, steak,
923
00:51:39,697 --> 00:51:41,299
maybe some mincemeat,
sausages.
924
00:51:41,366 --> 00:51:42,833
Kind of your typical
protein sources.
925
00:51:42,900 --> 00:51:45,303
Whereas now, you know,
I'm trying out offal.
926
00:51:45,370 --> 00:51:47,305
I'm trying out
different cuts of meat.
927
00:51:47,705 --> 00:51:49,940
More nose to tail
kind of dining and cooking,
928
00:51:50,007 --> 00:51:52,443
which I think,
A, is more ethical
929
00:51:52,510 --> 00:51:55,446
and, you know,
healthier for the planet,
930
00:51:55,513 --> 00:51:57,482
because we're utilizing
all of the animal.
931
00:51:57,548 --> 00:51:59,484
But it's also very nutritious.
932
00:51:59,550 --> 00:52:02,887
You know, making bone broth
and cooking with all parts
of the meat that you get.
933
00:52:02,953 --> 00:52:04,922
There's two cows worth
of bones in there.
934
00:52:04,989 --> 00:52:07,892
And we start to cook this,
these are the sort of trimmings.
935
00:52:07,958 --> 00:52:10,295
All the gristles, all the bones
go straight into the tub.
936
00:52:10,361 --> 00:52:11,396
We boil them off for two days.
937
00:52:11,462 --> 00:52:13,498
The American customers
come in as well.
938
00:52:13,564 --> 00:52:15,566
They're asking
for it specifically.
939
00:52:15,633 --> 00:52:17,435
I mean,
we sort of market this.
940
00:52:17,502 --> 00:52:19,304
We don't call it
bone broth particularly.
941
00:52:19,370 --> 00:52:21,439
Um, we market it as a moo shot,
942
00:52:21,506 --> 00:52:24,409
which is just a quarter-pound
little tub. There's neck...
943
00:52:24,475 --> 00:52:26,711
Before or after
you've been training,
so it's like a beef tea.
944
00:52:26,777 --> 00:52:28,413
-Do you sell ox blood?
-Oh, yeah.
945
00:52:28,479 --> 00:52:30,315
The amount of animals
that we sort of kill
in the course of a week,
946
00:52:30,381 --> 00:52:34,485
I wouldn't sleep on a night
unless we utilized
every last little bit of it.
947
00:52:34,552 --> 00:52:36,954
Um, you know,
if I'm taking that life,
948
00:52:37,021 --> 00:52:38,823
you've got to have
lots of respect for the creature
949
00:52:38,889 --> 00:52:40,625
and use every last
little bit of it.
950
00:52:42,159 --> 00:52:44,895
Okay, so I'll have them
here at Picnik
if you need them.
951
00:52:45,696 --> 00:52:46,564
Okay, bye.
952
00:52:49,434 --> 00:52:52,503
[Naomi]
So, since everything we do
is local and seasonal,
953
00:52:52,570 --> 00:52:54,805
we change our menu all the time.
954
00:52:54,872 --> 00:52:58,809
So, basically, the way
that we inform customers
of what we have is
955
00:52:58,876 --> 00:53:00,911
we update this lunch board here.
956
00:53:00,978 --> 00:53:03,448
And then we hang little signs
in the fridge,
957
00:53:03,514 --> 00:53:05,550
so people know
what entree they're getting.
958
00:53:08,052 --> 00:53:10,020
I feel like
we work around the clock.
959
00:53:10,087 --> 00:53:14,325
You know, 'cause we're always
trying to keep things updated
in such a small space,
960
00:53:14,392 --> 00:53:16,661
we're always having
to re-merge things
and move stuff around.
961
00:53:16,727 --> 00:53:20,831
And, I mean,
if you guys could see,
like, how funny it is for us
962
00:53:20,898 --> 00:53:24,869
to, like, run out of soup
and clean the soup well
with our little, tiny sinks.
963
00:53:24,935 --> 00:53:27,605
It's... [laughs] It's kind of
a logistical nightmare.
964
00:53:27,672 --> 00:53:31,742
So we just have to try
to figure out so many ways
to work around it.
965
00:53:34,345 --> 00:53:36,013
I mean,
any time someone approaches me,
966
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,649
and they're like,
"I wanna build one of these."
967
00:53:38,716 --> 00:53:40,851
Or, "I wanna build a business
around Paleo."
968
00:53:40,918 --> 00:53:43,488
It's like, you have to know...
Especially trailer living,
969
00:53:43,554 --> 00:53:45,623
it's a 100-hour-a-week job.
970
00:53:45,690 --> 00:53:47,425
Minimum. Minimum.
971
00:53:47,492 --> 00:53:49,627
I mean, constantly,
from the day...
972
00:53:49,694 --> 00:53:51,061
The second
I get up in the morning, baking,
973
00:53:51,128 --> 00:53:52,963
to then running the shop,
974
00:53:53,030 --> 00:53:56,834
to then going home,
and checking in on social media,
and responding to emails.
975
00:53:56,901 --> 00:53:58,803
You do need proper fuel, though,
976
00:53:58,869 --> 00:54:01,539
to keep that, that energy going.
977
00:54:02,507 --> 00:54:04,942
Otherwise, you would never
be able to thrive.
978
00:54:05,009 --> 00:54:08,346
I mean, I think that
the only reason I'm able to work
the amount I'm able to work
979
00:54:08,413 --> 00:54:11,316
is because the nutrition
that I focus on.
980
00:54:13,818 --> 00:54:16,321
So, here's the thing
about saturated fat.
981
00:54:16,987 --> 00:54:19,357
I am, by no means, a scientist.
982
00:54:19,424 --> 00:54:22,860
I am just someone
who loves butter.
983
00:54:22,927 --> 00:54:24,495
I love the way that it tastes.
984
00:54:24,562 --> 00:54:26,464
I love the way it makes me feel.
985
00:54:26,531 --> 00:54:28,699
And the fact that
I eat it every day,
986
00:54:28,766 --> 00:54:31,636
and it makes me feel better,
it makes my brain feel clearer,
987
00:54:31,702 --> 00:54:35,940
and it's made my weight
stabilize 25 pounds lighter
than it used to be.
988
00:54:36,006 --> 00:54:38,443
It makes me feel like
it's a pretty awesome food.
989
00:54:38,509 --> 00:54:39,577
I'm gonna be honest with you.
990
00:54:41,011 --> 00:54:44,482
Suddenly,
I could eat saturated fat,
and I did,
991
00:54:44,549 --> 00:54:47,685
because I hadn't for so many--
for such a long time.
992
00:54:47,752 --> 00:54:49,620
So, I loved it.
993
00:54:49,687 --> 00:54:51,489
Yeah, and I went
all the way for it.
994
00:54:51,556 --> 00:54:52,823
People were worried about that,
995
00:54:52,890 --> 00:54:54,892
and they thought,
"Okay, this can't be healthy."
996
00:54:54,959 --> 00:54:57,695
Of course, I delivered proof
997
00:54:57,762 --> 00:55:00,631
that it did...
that it was healthy, in fact.
998
00:55:00,698 --> 00:55:04,769
It did not completely destroy
my health as was predicted.
999
00:55:04,835 --> 00:55:07,605
We have this notion
that certain fats
cause heart disease
1000
00:55:07,672 --> 00:55:10,641
like the ones that we find
in red meat and dairy products,
1001
00:55:10,708 --> 00:55:12,677
so-called saturated fat.
1002
00:55:12,743 --> 00:55:14,512
That doesn't stand up either.
1003
00:55:14,579 --> 00:55:17,648
There really is no evidence
linking saturated fat
with heart disease.
1004
00:55:17,715 --> 00:55:21,085
All the things that
we're concerned about
in terms of anti-aging.
1005
00:55:21,151 --> 00:55:23,788
So, most women
are preoccupied with this.
1006
00:55:23,854 --> 00:55:26,757
You know, we wanna care
about our skin, and our hair,
and so on.
1007
00:55:26,824 --> 00:55:29,427
Saturated fats
are extremely important
1008
00:55:29,494 --> 00:55:32,430
for this aspect
of kind of cell development.
1009
00:55:32,497 --> 00:55:35,600
If you look
at all the major reviews
in the last few years,
1010
00:55:35,666 --> 00:55:37,267
and there's been
three or four of them,
1011
00:55:37,334 --> 00:55:42,407
none of them
actually link saturated fat
with heart disease.
1012
00:56:08,499 --> 00:56:10,935
[Commercial Narrator]
Oh, it's I Can't Believe
It's Not Butter.
1013
00:56:11,001 --> 00:56:13,103
Fresh butter taste
with 70% less saturated...
1014
00:56:13,170 --> 00:56:14,739
[John]
When you think about it,
1015
00:56:14,805 --> 00:56:17,107
this whole idea
that saturated fat
does not cause heart disease
1016
00:56:17,174 --> 00:56:19,810
may sound vaguely heretical,
1017
00:56:19,877 --> 00:56:24,582
okay, because
we've had that drummed into us
for the last 30 or 40 years.
1018
00:56:24,649 --> 00:56:28,853
But saturated fat
is a constituent
in... many foods,
1019
00:56:28,919 --> 00:56:30,521
including red meat.
1020
00:56:30,588 --> 00:56:33,891
Now, you could argue
that red meat has been
in the human diet
1021
00:56:33,958 --> 00:56:36,060
for about two
and a half million years,
1022
00:56:36,126 --> 00:56:37,828
which would lead you to conclude
1023
00:56:37,895 --> 00:56:40,631
that saturated fat
has been in the human diet
1024
00:56:40,698 --> 00:56:43,167
for about two
and a half million years.
1025
00:56:43,934 --> 00:56:46,471
You look at the foods
that are healthy for us to eat,
1026
00:56:46,537 --> 00:56:48,138
and they all have
saturated fats in them,
1027
00:56:48,205 --> 00:56:49,840
then what does that tell us?
1028
00:56:49,907 --> 00:56:52,477
The egg white comes
with an egg yolk.
1029
00:56:52,543 --> 00:56:54,679
The fish protein comes
with the fish fat.
1030
00:56:54,745 --> 00:56:57,081
The animal protein comes
with animal fat.
1031
00:56:57,147 --> 00:56:58,683
We don't eat egg whites.
1032
00:56:58,749 --> 00:57:00,485
We don't eat lean meat.
1033
00:57:00,551 --> 00:57:04,489
We don't just remove
the fish oil from the fish
and then eat the fish.
1034
00:57:04,555 --> 00:57:05,756
We eat the entire animal.
1035
00:57:05,823 --> 00:57:06,891
That's how it's found in nature.
1036
00:57:06,957 --> 00:57:08,025
That's how
we're supposed to eat it.
1037
00:57:08,092 --> 00:57:09,226
That's the best thing
for our body.
1038
00:57:09,293 --> 00:57:11,796
So when you look at it
through that lens,
1039
00:57:11,862 --> 00:57:13,498
it perhaps doesn't look so mad
1040
00:57:13,564 --> 00:57:17,735
that saturated fat
doesn't appear
to cause heart disease at all.
1041
00:57:17,802 --> 00:57:21,606
People are encountering
higher rates of heart disease
than ever before,
1042
00:57:21,672 --> 00:57:25,175
even though we've had 30 years
of this low-fat diet mantra.
1043
00:57:25,242 --> 00:57:26,811
It definitely isn't working.
1044
00:57:26,877 --> 00:57:31,849
I'm... very excited
any time I see an article
in the media
1045
00:57:31,916 --> 00:57:34,919
about how maybe saturated fat
isn't that bad for us,
1046
00:57:34,985 --> 00:57:37,955
and I feel like
we're coming out
of the dark ages...
1047
00:57:39,023 --> 00:57:40,525
on at least that level.
1048
00:57:44,061 --> 00:57:46,931
By increasing the amount
of dietary fat that
I've been taking,
1049
00:57:46,997 --> 00:57:49,567
I've actually improved
my blood profile,
1050
00:57:49,634 --> 00:57:52,670
my blood marker profile
for cholesterol
and triglycerides.
1051
00:57:52,737 --> 00:57:56,541
That's evidence for me
that this journey
is worthwhile partaking.
1052
00:58:02,246 --> 00:58:06,751
[Johannes Kwella]
Our overall activity level
shrinks down dramatically.
1053
00:58:06,817 --> 00:58:09,887
So, we sit in an office
for 8 to 12 hours.
1054
00:58:09,954 --> 00:58:11,488
Then we drive
directly into a bar,
1055
00:58:11,556 --> 00:58:14,859
sitting down again.
Sitting in a car.
Sitting in a bar.
1056
00:58:14,925 --> 00:58:17,261
Going home
and sitting down on a couch
in front of a TV.
1057
00:58:17,327 --> 00:58:20,097
So, basically,
all we do is sitting
1058
00:58:20,164 --> 00:58:24,535
and getting from our chair
to our car or to the next chair.
1059
00:58:27,972 --> 00:58:32,142
The whole ethos now
is to sit down at a desk
and at a computer all day.
1060
00:58:32,209 --> 00:58:36,213
We sit in such a closed position
which is terrible
for our posture,
1061
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:38,248
terrible for our bowel function,
1062
00:58:38,315 --> 00:58:42,620
terrible for the whole way
our body just processes food,
1063
00:58:42,687 --> 00:58:45,122
energy, blood, water.
1064
00:58:50,961 --> 00:58:54,632
[Farley] It's a sad statement
about the health
of our population
1065
00:58:54,699 --> 00:58:58,669
when people consider walking
from one place to the other
an exercise.
1066
00:58:58,736 --> 00:59:00,805
That's just how
we're supposed to move, right?
1067
00:59:00,871 --> 00:59:03,674
There are tons of people
coming into the BOX
1068
00:59:03,741 --> 00:59:06,143
and having no results at all
1069
00:59:06,210 --> 00:59:09,847
or getting stuck
throughout a routine
1070
00:59:09,914 --> 00:59:12,683
at a conventional gym
or commercial gym.
1071
00:59:12,750 --> 00:59:16,020
And then they,
within the shortest time,
1072
00:59:16,086 --> 00:59:19,123
sometimes within
two to four weeks,
1073
00:59:19,189 --> 00:59:22,727
sometimes up to 8 to 12
or 16 weeks,
1074
00:59:22,793 --> 00:59:24,428
they get amazing results.
1075
00:59:24,494 --> 00:59:29,399
The most of the time,
it goes hand in
with an approach to better diet.
1076
00:59:29,466 --> 00:59:32,336
If you eat right,
that's 85, 90%
1077
00:59:32,402 --> 00:59:34,805
If you go for walks,
that's another 5%.
1078
00:59:34,872 --> 00:59:36,741
But if you wanna take it
to the next step,
1079
00:59:36,807 --> 00:59:40,645
then weight-bearing exercise,
anabolic exercises
1080
00:59:40,711 --> 00:59:42,880
like weight training
and sprint work would be best,
1081
00:59:42,947 --> 00:59:47,017
or high-intensity sprints
on bikes, that type of thing.
1082
00:59:47,084 --> 00:59:48,819
What we're doing here is
1083
00:59:48,886 --> 00:59:53,323
we warm you up,
and then we get you through
a really high-intensity workout,
1084
00:59:53,390 --> 00:59:55,826
which is, like,
short but intense.
1085
00:59:55,893 --> 00:59:59,296
So, it's mimicking more
this flight or fight mode,
1086
00:59:59,363 --> 01:00:03,000
and it's not extensive cardio
and extensive stress levels.
1087
01:00:11,508 --> 01:00:15,012
What you don't wanna do
is chronic, repetitive,
long-distance cardio.
1088
01:00:15,079 --> 01:00:18,615
So, events that would be
more than 20 or 30 minutes.
1089
01:00:19,349 --> 01:00:23,688
Sprints cause a powerful,
positive hormonal cascade
in the body,
1090
01:00:23,754 --> 01:00:26,223
increasing testosterone,
growth hormone release,
1091
01:00:26,290 --> 01:00:30,995
which tends to create
an anabolic environment that
burns fat and builds muscle.
1092
01:00:31,061 --> 01:00:33,430
So a sprint would be...
1093
01:00:33,497 --> 01:00:37,935
I think, probably
the most powerful single form
of exercise you can do.
1094
01:00:38,002 --> 01:00:40,037
I would put it even higher
than weight training.
1095
01:00:40,104 --> 01:00:42,239
I would put weight training
just slightly below that.
1096
01:00:42,306 --> 01:00:44,208
Because you're using
your full body.
1097
01:00:44,274 --> 01:00:47,878
Now, for some people
who can't run sprints,
1098
01:00:47,945 --> 01:00:51,381
the second best thing would be
do sprints on an exercise bike
1099
01:00:51,448 --> 01:00:54,752
and then combine that
with weight training.
1100
01:00:56,420 --> 01:01:01,125
And weight training is just
putting a certain set of muscles
through a sprint
1101
01:01:01,191 --> 01:01:02,793
against a weight.
1102
01:01:02,860 --> 01:01:07,097
If you think
of counting the reps
as just a way of counting time,
1103
01:01:07,164 --> 01:01:08,766
then you just...
1104
01:01:08,833 --> 01:01:11,001
and each rep is taking,
say, three seconds,
1105
01:01:11,068 --> 01:01:13,503
then you 10 reps,
that's a 30-second activity.
1106
01:01:13,570 --> 01:01:15,239
So that's how you would look
at weight training.
1107
01:01:15,305 --> 01:01:18,275
[exerting]
1108
01:01:18,342 --> 01:01:21,345
Rather than activating
a small set of muscles
1109
01:01:21,411 --> 01:01:23,848
or a small area of their body,
1110
01:01:23,914 --> 01:01:28,786
we're just trying to make
and help people get the most
out of their body.
1111
01:01:30,087 --> 01:01:33,223
Functional movement,
it's not just about
lifting heavy weights
1112
01:01:33,290 --> 01:01:35,125
and just sort of burpees,
you know.
1113
01:01:35,192 --> 01:01:39,496
There's a lot of movement
in nature that we do already
that's very functional,
1114
01:01:39,563 --> 01:01:41,932
and it's the way
our body is designed to move.
1115
01:01:41,999 --> 01:01:44,268
Whether
it's swimming in the ocean,
or hiking in the mountains,
1116
01:01:44,334 --> 01:01:47,304
or in my case, you know,
I like rock climbing,
1117
01:01:47,371 --> 01:01:49,974
because
it's something very primal.
1118
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:51,275
There's flow when you do it.
1119
01:01:51,341 --> 01:01:53,343
It's almost like
a meditative state.
1120
01:01:53,410 --> 01:01:55,245
You know,
you're using the whole body.
1121
01:01:55,312 --> 01:01:57,848
You're kind of playing
with another object.
1122
01:01:57,915 --> 01:02:01,051
And it's a very social sport,
almost sort of tribal...
1123
01:02:01,118 --> 01:02:02,887
to me, anyway.
1124
01:02:02,953 --> 01:02:06,323
But I think people have
to sort of re-evaluate
what functional movement is.
1125
01:02:06,390 --> 01:02:09,059
Sometimes, it's just
walking up the hill really fast,
1126
01:02:09,126 --> 01:02:13,563
or climbing up a tree,
or lifting heavy boxes
and things like that.
1127
01:02:13,630 --> 01:02:16,100
You can find functional movement
in everyday life.
1128
01:02:17,401 --> 01:02:19,269
[Darryl]
We need to have an adequate
1129
01:02:19,336 --> 01:02:21,438
and substantial amount
of movement
1130
01:02:21,505 --> 01:02:24,208
in order to be better aligned
with our genetic heritage.
1131
01:02:27,444 --> 01:02:29,914
[Darryl] Again, looking at
our hunter-gatherer ancestors,
1132
01:02:29,980 --> 01:02:34,251
they had to move
as part and parcel
of their day-to-day existence.
1133
01:02:34,318 --> 01:02:36,486
If they didn't move,
they couldn't eat.
1134
01:02:36,553 --> 01:02:38,155
It was as simple as that.
1135
01:02:38,222 --> 01:02:41,425
So today,
although we don't have
to hunt and gather our food
1136
01:02:41,491 --> 01:02:43,093
as we did in the past,
1137
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:47,464
we still need to mimic
some of those ancestral
movement patterns.
1138
01:02:47,531 --> 01:02:51,235
So, from walking, to sprinting,
to lifting heavy loads,
1139
01:02:51,301 --> 01:02:53,037
to kind of crawling, jumping,
1140
01:02:53,103 --> 01:02:56,406
all of the kind of
fundamental movement patterns
that were important then
1141
01:02:56,473 --> 01:02:58,342
are just as important now.
1142
01:02:58,408 --> 01:03:00,244
[laughing]
1143
01:03:02,046 --> 01:03:07,417
There's definitely a discord
between conventional workout
methodology
1144
01:03:07,484 --> 01:03:11,355
and what we should be doing
according to our genetic
heritage.
1145
01:03:11,421 --> 01:03:15,525
So, exercise today
is very much about performance.
1146
01:03:15,592 --> 01:03:17,561
Sometimes it's seen
as a way to lose weight.
1147
01:03:17,627 --> 01:03:21,398
Very often, it isn't seen
as a way to promote good health.
1148
01:03:21,465 --> 01:03:24,568
Growing up, my father
was completely stressed out.
1149
01:03:24,634 --> 01:03:28,538
But he would go "play" tennis,
and it was like a chore.
1150
01:03:28,605 --> 01:03:31,541
Because it's like,
"Aw, crap, I'm late,
and I gotta rush over there.
1151
01:03:31,608 --> 01:03:34,478
And now, I'm gonna play tennis,
and we're gonna make it
totally competitive."
1152
01:03:34,544 --> 01:03:37,547
Which nothing wrong with that,
but it doesn't...
alleviate stress.
1153
01:03:37,614 --> 01:03:39,149
It's not relaxing.
1154
01:03:39,216 --> 01:03:40,750
And then rush home
and do whatever.
1155
01:03:40,817 --> 01:03:43,320
Most of the practices
that we follow
in terms of exercise
1156
01:03:43,387 --> 01:03:44,588
tend to be very specialist.
1157
01:03:44,654 --> 01:03:47,925
So, I'm a runner,
so I will continue to run,
1158
01:03:47,992 --> 01:03:50,995
and I will continue to run
further distances
and increase my volume.
1159
01:03:51,061 --> 01:03:52,696
If I'm great at playing
a particular sport,
1160
01:03:52,762 --> 01:03:55,966
I'll spend my time
and invest my time
in that particular sport.
1161
01:03:56,033 --> 01:03:59,169
But as humans,
we were designed
to be movement generalists.
1162
01:03:59,236 --> 01:04:02,072
We weren't designed
to be focused
on one particular activity.
1163
01:04:02,139 --> 01:04:05,209
We would have to cover
a wide range of movements.
1164
01:04:12,449 --> 01:04:16,553
[Naomi] I really have never
related well to exercise, like,
in a gym setting.
1165
01:04:16,620 --> 01:04:18,522
I never
really have responded well
1166
01:04:18,588 --> 01:04:23,127
to, like, pushing my body
to the physical limits
just to get physical results.
1167
01:04:23,193 --> 01:04:26,496
But I enjoy going
out into nature,
and moving my body,
1168
01:04:26,563 --> 01:04:31,701
and going on hikes,
and interacting with water,
and trees, and wind.
1169
01:04:31,768 --> 01:04:35,605
And you know what?
That, to me, I think
is very kind of primal
1170
01:04:35,672 --> 01:04:39,176
and instinctual,
and something that
we're kind of detached from.
1171
01:04:39,243 --> 01:04:41,078
Push! Push!
1172
01:04:41,145 --> 01:04:42,512
Push! Come on, mate!
1173
01:04:44,214 --> 01:04:47,084
[Darryl]
Misconceptions about exercise
is that it has to be punishing.
1174
01:04:47,151 --> 01:04:48,685
It has to be grueling.
1175
01:04:48,752 --> 01:04:50,620
It has to be something
that you have to do
as part of...
1176
01:04:50,687 --> 01:04:55,292
Almost treat it as a hobby
or something that you do
when you have some free time.
1177
01:04:55,359 --> 01:04:57,962
Exercise should be,
or activity most importantly,
1178
01:04:58,028 --> 01:05:01,265
should be about integration
with your day-to-day life.
1179
01:05:01,331 --> 01:05:04,134
It's like we...
As adults, we're like...
1180
01:05:04,201 --> 01:05:05,702
We try and schedule in our play,
1181
01:05:05,769 --> 01:05:06,937
and you can't do that.
1182
01:05:07,004 --> 01:05:09,373
You have to kind of wing it
a little bit.
1183
01:05:09,439 --> 01:05:11,375
It's not that
we don't have time.
1184
01:05:11,441 --> 01:05:12,609
'Cause that's a crock.
1185
01:05:12,676 --> 01:05:15,012
We just don't know how to do it.
1186
01:05:15,079 --> 01:05:16,981
It's like,
if I told most adults,
1187
01:05:17,047 --> 01:05:20,617
"All right, here's a field.
There's a tree. There's this,
there's that. Go play."
1188
01:05:20,684 --> 01:05:22,252
They'd just stand there
like lumps.
1189
01:05:22,319 --> 01:05:23,720
They wouldn't know what to do.
1190
01:05:23,787 --> 01:05:25,255
They wouldn't go climb the tree,
or roll around, or anything.
1191
01:05:25,322 --> 01:05:28,558
And it's kind of sad
that we just forget
how to do that.
1192
01:06:05,562 --> 01:06:07,631
[Irena]
I think you need
a certain balance
1193
01:06:07,697 --> 01:06:10,634
of not moving too much
and having enough rest.
1194
01:06:10,700 --> 01:06:13,537
We know
we're chronically under-slept
and stressed.
1195
01:06:14,671 --> 01:06:18,642
[Farley] So, if we get someone
who is doing the sprint work,
and they're eating right,
1196
01:06:18,708 --> 01:06:21,245
but then they're staying up
till two in the morning
watching TV,
1197
01:06:21,311 --> 01:06:23,380
it's completely
counter-productive.
1198
01:06:23,447 --> 01:06:26,550
A lack of sleep is a great way
1199
01:06:26,616 --> 01:06:29,753
for you to continue
to have issues
with managing weight.
1200
01:06:29,819 --> 01:06:34,124
Part of that is because
your cortisol production
tends to be out of whack.
1201
01:06:34,191 --> 01:06:39,496
Also, the hunger hormones,
the ghrelin, the leptin,
can also be kind of confused
1202
01:06:39,563 --> 01:06:41,631
based on a lack of sleep.
1203
01:06:41,698 --> 01:06:45,035
And that can all stem
from the amount
of light exposure you get,
1204
01:06:45,735 --> 01:06:48,138
the time
for your melatonin production.
1205
01:06:48,205 --> 01:06:51,408
So if you're using
a lot of electronic devices
at night,
1206
01:06:51,475 --> 01:06:53,543
your body is
not prepared for sleep.
1207
01:06:53,610 --> 01:06:56,446
So you have less deep sleep
and less REM sleep,
1208
01:06:56,513 --> 01:06:58,682
and then the cycle
kind of continues.
1209
01:07:00,884 --> 01:07:02,419
So sleep is extremely important,
1210
01:07:02,486 --> 01:07:06,190
and the hormones
that are kind of involved
in managing sleep
1211
01:07:06,256 --> 01:07:09,526
and managing
and regulating appetite
are all inter-linked.
1212
01:07:09,593 --> 01:07:12,596
So, as well as getting
your sun exposure, vitamin D,
1213
01:07:12,662 --> 01:07:17,667
it also lets the body know
when it should be alert,
and alive, and well,
1214
01:07:17,734 --> 01:07:20,337
and also when the body
should be kind of slowing down
1215
01:07:20,404 --> 01:07:22,472
and preparing itself
for deep sleep.
1216
01:07:22,539 --> 01:07:25,175
So, anything that you do
outside of that
1217
01:07:25,242 --> 01:07:27,677
or kind of out of sync
with that process,
1218
01:07:27,744 --> 01:07:32,516
may mean you're likely
to increase weight,
especially around the middle.
1219
01:07:50,934 --> 01:07:54,471
By applying a Paleo lifestyle...
1220
01:07:54,538 --> 01:07:58,842
And, again, we're talking
what food works best
for that individual,
1221
01:07:58,908 --> 01:08:01,245
getting your sleep down,
your stress, all those things.
1222
01:08:01,311 --> 01:08:02,712
If you apply
all of those aspects,
1223
01:08:02,779 --> 01:08:05,815
I think a lot of people
would feel a lot better,
1224
01:08:05,882 --> 01:08:07,351
be on a lot less medications,
1225
01:08:07,417 --> 01:08:10,487
have a lot less
in health care costs
and everything else,
1226
01:08:10,554 --> 01:08:13,423
and just a better quality
of life in general.
1227
01:08:13,490 --> 01:08:15,058
[Darryl] Now, I realize
1228
01:08:15,125 --> 01:08:17,026
that it's not about
what you inherited
in terms of a gene.
1229
01:08:17,093 --> 01:08:22,499
It's about what you decide to do
in terms of gene expression,
in terms of lifestyle
1230
01:08:22,566 --> 01:08:26,102
that affects
how your genes respond
to your environment.
1231
01:08:26,936 --> 01:08:28,672
[Darryl]
I'm gonna tell you
about my first client.
1232
01:08:28,738 --> 01:08:30,307
Some of you have met
my first client.
1233
01:08:30,374 --> 01:08:31,841
He worked in banking.
1234
01:08:31,908 --> 01:08:33,877
This person used to be diabetic.
1235
01:08:33,943 --> 01:08:35,545
What's interesting
1236
01:08:35,612 --> 01:08:39,283
is after
a very short-term intervention,
1237
01:08:39,349 --> 01:08:42,286
so about six... to be fair,
probably about nine months,
1238
01:08:42,352 --> 01:08:44,754
six to nine months
of intervention,
1239
01:08:44,821 --> 01:08:48,858
which included diet,
which included
other lifestyle changes,
1240
01:08:48,925 --> 01:08:50,560
including activity.
1241
01:08:50,627 --> 01:08:52,629
We have the after picture.
1242
01:08:52,696 --> 01:08:55,365
Blood pressure became optimal.
1243
01:08:55,432 --> 01:08:57,133
The blood glucose normalized.
1244
01:08:57,201 --> 01:09:03,373
Hardly any of the LDL.
Triglycerides were...
dropped to the floor.
1245
01:09:03,440 --> 01:09:06,543
The body fat was below 10%.
1246
01:09:06,610 --> 01:09:09,279
Visceral fat was
basically optimal again.
1247
01:09:09,346 --> 01:09:13,517
And they weren't suffering
from all those problems
in terms of weight problems.
1248
01:09:13,583 --> 01:09:16,486
Diagnosis at that point was,
"Actually, this is pretty good.
1249
01:09:16,553 --> 01:09:19,523
"Maybe this
should be continued."
1250
01:09:19,589 --> 01:09:21,858
Of course, some of you know
1251
01:09:21,925 --> 01:09:23,793
that that client was me.
1252
01:09:23,860 --> 01:09:28,498
[Darryl] After conducting
the Paleo diet as almost like
a one-person experiment,
1253
01:09:28,565 --> 01:09:32,736
it was all looking far better
than anything else that I did.
1254
01:09:32,802 --> 01:09:34,804
And probably
the most interesting aspect
of that is
1255
01:09:34,871 --> 01:09:36,740
I didn't have to resort
to any medication,
1256
01:09:36,806 --> 01:09:39,376
which was the recommendation
at the time by my doctor.
1257
01:09:39,443 --> 01:09:42,812
Within three weeks,
I felt amazing.
1258
01:09:42,879 --> 01:09:44,814
I no longer had IBS.
1259
01:09:44,881 --> 01:09:46,483
I no longer had
chronic fatigue syndrome.
1260
01:09:46,550 --> 01:09:49,486
I no longer had pain
every time I ate.
1261
01:09:49,553 --> 01:09:50,987
I no longer had
1262
01:09:51,054 --> 01:09:54,924
what I thought was
early-onset rheumatoid
arthritis,
1263
01:09:54,991 --> 01:09:57,761
which everybody in my family
had been diagnosed with.
1264
01:09:57,827 --> 01:10:00,029
It was gone. All of it was gone.
1265
01:10:00,096 --> 01:10:01,998
So, within about six weeks,
1266
01:10:02,065 --> 01:10:05,435
I lost six years' worth
of fat, really,
1267
01:10:05,502 --> 01:10:09,406
that I had accumulated
through my relatively unhealthy
lifestyle in medical school.
1268
01:10:09,473 --> 01:10:11,708
But the thing
that was really noticeable
1269
01:10:11,775 --> 01:10:16,045
was that I quite quickly,
within maybe two weeks or so,
1270
01:10:16,112 --> 01:10:18,382
had more energy
than I'd experienced
1271
01:10:18,448 --> 01:10:20,784
in really the whole
of my adult life.
1272
01:10:21,785 --> 01:10:23,720
I just felt fundamentally
a lot better.
1273
01:10:23,787 --> 01:10:25,789
I either had a gut,
1274
01:10:25,855 --> 01:10:28,024
or I could see stomach muscles,
1275
01:10:28,091 --> 01:10:29,493
one of the two.
1276
01:10:30,394 --> 01:10:31,761
I prefer to see stomach muscles.
1277
01:10:31,828 --> 01:10:33,330
I'll take that over a gut.
1278
01:10:33,397 --> 01:10:36,800
As a side bonus,
within a week or so
of starting the diet,
1279
01:10:36,866 --> 01:10:40,904
my rash over my chest
and under my arms disappeared
and never came back.
1280
01:10:40,970 --> 01:10:43,707
[Patricia] In combination
with changing my diet,
1281
01:10:43,773 --> 01:10:46,710
changing my exercise program,
1282
01:10:46,776 --> 01:10:51,381
I was able to bring
my body fat percent down 10%,
1283
01:10:51,448 --> 01:10:54,718
increase my muscle mass
very dramatically.
1284
01:10:54,784 --> 01:10:56,586
I used to have colds
all the time.
1285
01:10:56,653 --> 01:10:59,756
Colds that would often lead
to severe bronchitis.
1286
01:10:59,823 --> 01:11:03,727
After a while,
I discovered just...
I realized that they were gone.
1287
01:11:03,793 --> 01:11:05,028
I very rarely get ill.
1288
01:11:05,094 --> 01:11:08,865
When I do get ill,
I recover from it a lot quicker.
1289
01:11:08,932 --> 01:11:13,703
My immune system is so strong
that I recover much quicker,
and I heal much quicker.
1290
01:11:13,770 --> 01:11:16,406
So I think,
overall, though, yeah,
1291
01:11:16,473 --> 01:11:19,509
I'd say 100% health all the way.
1292
01:11:19,576 --> 01:11:22,011
Actually, I was in a debate
the other day
1293
01:11:22,078 --> 01:11:24,581
in... Ireland,
1294
01:11:24,648 --> 01:11:26,783
and there was this nutritionist.
1295
01:11:26,850 --> 01:11:29,919
She turned to me
when I was speaking,
1296
01:11:29,986 --> 01:11:33,623
and she was like,
"I would like to see
your cholesterol values."
1297
01:11:33,690 --> 01:11:36,360
Or, "I would like to see
your blood work." Yeah.
1298
01:11:36,893 --> 01:11:39,763
[laughs] And actually,
I answered her.
1299
01:11:39,829 --> 01:11:42,799
I said, "My blood values are,
are perfect.
1300
01:11:42,866 --> 01:11:46,069
"They're much better
than when I was a vegetarian
for 10 years."
1301
01:11:47,036 --> 01:11:50,740
My doctor always tells me
that I'm in excellent health.
1302
01:11:50,807 --> 01:11:53,543
And this is very different
1303
01:11:53,610 --> 01:11:56,012
than before
as being a vegetarian.
1304
01:11:56,079 --> 01:11:57,246
So over the years,
what I've seen is
1305
01:11:57,313 --> 01:12:00,384
many individuals try
this dietary approach
1306
01:12:00,450 --> 01:12:04,153
and have fundamental changes
in not just their weight,
1307
01:12:04,220 --> 01:12:06,756
but their wellness,
their energy, their wellbeing.
1308
01:12:06,823 --> 01:12:09,993
If you look at their blood work,
that generally improves as well.
1309
01:12:10,059 --> 01:12:12,596
When we started our practice,
1310
01:12:12,662 --> 01:12:15,832
and I started
actually implementing it
1311
01:12:15,899 --> 01:12:20,870
and saw dramatic changes
in people's lives, then that...
1312
01:12:20,937 --> 01:12:23,540
And not just one,
but everybody
that we dealt with.
1313
01:12:23,607 --> 01:12:27,377
Then I realized that
that was a very powerful tool.
1314
01:12:28,077 --> 01:12:32,081
More powerful than anything
that I'd ever done previously
as a physician.
1315
01:12:32,148 --> 01:12:34,818
Just teaching people how to eat.
1316
01:12:34,884 --> 01:12:36,686
Simple. Yeah.
1317
01:12:37,621 --> 01:12:39,856
So, look, there is no such thing
as a panacea.
1318
01:12:39,923 --> 01:12:42,759
But in all my time
as a practicing doctor,
1319
01:12:42,826 --> 01:12:46,129
I don't think I've seen
anything that comes
as close to it as this.
1320
01:12:46,195 --> 01:12:48,197
When I started eating Paleo,
1321
01:12:48,264 --> 01:12:50,800
I had a pretty low budget...
1322
01:12:50,867 --> 01:12:53,537
and I still could do that.
1323
01:12:53,603 --> 01:12:56,105
You can find alternatives
to everything.
1324
01:12:56,172 --> 01:12:58,708
You don't need to eat
grass-fed beef every day.
1325
01:12:58,775 --> 01:13:03,212
Essentially,
meat, fish, fruits,
and vegetables.
1326
01:13:03,279 --> 01:13:04,914
and then everyone can do that.
1327
01:13:04,981 --> 01:13:06,950
Pork chops and some vegetables,
1328
01:13:07,016 --> 01:13:10,820
or I make some kind of stew,
or braise,
1329
01:13:10,887 --> 01:13:13,189
or pulled pork
that I can throw in the oven
and forget about,
1330
01:13:13,256 --> 01:13:14,057
and roast chickens.
1331
01:13:14,123 --> 01:13:15,625
You can have a healthy diet
1332
01:13:15,692 --> 01:13:20,764
if your major protein
and fat sources
were fish and eggs.
1333
01:13:20,830 --> 01:13:22,398
So it doesn't have to be meat.
1334
01:13:23,767 --> 01:13:26,470
I eat so many different things
that I never ate before.
1335
01:13:26,536 --> 01:13:30,239
There's more than enough
to replace the foods
that I don't eat anymore.
1336
01:13:30,306 --> 01:13:33,042
I think just about any chef
would be completely thrilled
1337
01:13:33,109 --> 01:13:34,911
to be given a basket
of Paleo ingredients,
1338
01:13:34,978 --> 01:13:36,680
'cause
they're really high-quality.
1339
01:13:36,746 --> 01:13:40,884
And you're cooking
with really good meats,
and really good vegetables,
1340
01:13:40,950 --> 01:13:43,086
and local, seasonal produce.
1341
01:13:44,287 --> 01:13:47,891
Sometimes if I'm trying
to recreate a dish
from my childhood
1342
01:13:47,957 --> 01:13:50,527
or an ethnic Thai dish
1343
01:13:50,594 --> 01:13:52,862
that I want to be
exactly how I remember it,
1344
01:13:52,929 --> 01:13:56,132
it's about playing with flavors,
and balances, and textures.
1345
01:13:57,166 --> 01:13:59,936
That's hugely important to me
is...
1346
01:14:00,770 --> 01:14:03,907
making sure that people get
to keep that experience of food.
1347
01:14:05,775 --> 01:14:07,210
[Irena]
It's really strange
to call it a diet,
1348
01:14:07,276 --> 01:14:08,712
because
it's not actually a diet.
1349
01:14:08,778 --> 01:14:10,647
It's just a way of eating.
1350
01:14:10,714 --> 01:14:13,717
And I think the connotation
with the "diet" is that
it's in some way restrictive
1351
01:14:13,783 --> 01:14:16,052
and in some way,
bland and boring.
1352
01:14:16,119 --> 01:14:17,854
You know, you cut out
lots of those things.
1353
01:14:22,892 --> 01:14:27,597
You know, now, I love cooking
with things like cauliflower,
and beet root, and celeriac,
1354
01:14:27,664 --> 01:14:31,067
artichokes, endives,
things that I probably
never used to eat before.
1355
01:14:31,134 --> 01:14:35,138
You know, it'd be broccoli,
and carrots, and your typical
kind of three veg and a meat.
1356
01:14:35,204 --> 01:14:38,875
Whereas now, I get to experiment
with lots of new herbs,
and spices,
1357
01:14:38,942 --> 01:14:40,944
and different techniques,
1358
01:14:41,010 --> 01:14:43,747
and sort of applying that
to sort of whole foods.
1359
01:14:43,813 --> 01:14:45,549
You know,
you wanna keep it varied,
1360
01:14:45,615 --> 01:14:47,884
so you try out
different cuisines,
1361
01:14:48,952 --> 01:14:51,320
cooking with different seafood
and different fish.
1362
01:14:51,387 --> 01:14:52,689
That's exciting to me,
1363
01:14:52,756 --> 01:14:54,658
and I think that's what I love
about cooking Paleo.
1364
01:14:56,292 --> 01:14:59,328
[Boris] I have discovered
the Paleo diet.
I was overwhelmed by it.
1365
01:14:59,395 --> 01:15:02,832
I, per se, wanted to make it
the center of my life.
1366
01:15:03,733 --> 01:15:08,605
And we rediscovered
the joy of eating, of cooking.
Wanted to share that.
1367
01:15:08,672 --> 01:15:13,777
So we tried out to...
you know, to
run a small restaurant.
1368
01:15:21,217 --> 01:15:25,555
We never expected it
to become so well-known
and so popular.
1369
01:15:35,999 --> 01:15:38,668
[Boris] A lot of people come
with a certain prejudice.
1370
01:15:38,735 --> 01:15:40,169
They heard about the Paleo diet.
1371
01:15:40,236 --> 01:15:42,305
They hear the word "diet,"
1372
01:15:42,371 --> 01:15:45,274
which actually,
I don't like to use either,
1373
01:15:45,341 --> 01:15:48,812
and they immediately think
of health food,
1374
01:15:48,878 --> 01:15:52,148
which is, by definition,
not so tasty,
1375
01:15:52,215 --> 01:15:54,150
and they think of restriction.
1376
01:15:54,217 --> 01:15:56,653
They came
for the theatrical side of it.
1377
01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:01,891
They expected to be served
by someone wearing fur
and on stone plates.
1378
01:16:01,958 --> 01:16:04,360
Then they come
to our restaurant,
1379
01:16:04,427 --> 01:16:06,830
and they see abundance,
1380
01:16:06,896 --> 01:16:09,766
abundance in colors,
abundance in flavors.
1381
01:16:13,837 --> 01:16:15,371
And they were surprised
1382
01:16:15,438 --> 01:16:20,343
by the fact that
it was quite... a nice
and normal environment
1383
01:16:20,409 --> 01:16:21,645
with great food.
1384
01:16:21,711 --> 01:16:24,080
They can feast on food.
1385
01:16:24,147 --> 01:16:27,416
That is, for many people,
an eye-opener that makes them
enthusiastic, of course.
1386
01:16:27,483 --> 01:16:29,886
Plus, they can eat fat...
[laughs]
1387
01:16:29,953 --> 01:16:31,087
Which carries flavor.
1388
01:16:31,154 --> 01:16:34,691
I mean, it's an essential part
of a meal.
1389
01:16:40,764 --> 01:16:43,166
We try to not make it
boring at all
1390
01:16:43,232 --> 01:16:45,935
and very exciting.
1391
01:17:02,085 --> 01:17:04,287
People get surprised
when they visit my website,
1392
01:17:04,353 --> 01:17:07,791
because it's not even
for people that eat Paleo.
1393
01:17:07,857 --> 01:17:10,760
It's just good food
made with whole foods
ingredients
1394
01:17:10,827 --> 01:17:14,463
and good flavors, you know,
lots of herbs, and spices,
and things like that.
1395
01:17:14,530 --> 01:17:19,035
I think what I'm trying to do,
with me running my food blog
and publishing cookbooks, is
1396
01:17:19,102 --> 01:17:24,173
actually trying to show people
that eating healthy
or living healthy is not boring.
1397
01:17:24,774 --> 01:17:26,175
You're not missing out
on anything.
1398
01:17:26,242 --> 01:17:29,813
You know, I think the perception
is that the diets are temporary.
1399
01:17:29,879 --> 01:17:31,815
It's a Band-Aid solution
to fix the problem.
1400
01:17:31,881 --> 01:17:33,016
It's like taking a pill.
1401
01:17:34,751 --> 01:17:38,054
What I'm trying to show
it can be a sustainable...
It has longevity.
1402
01:17:38,121 --> 01:17:42,792
It can be a sort of
everlasting type of,
way of eating and living.
1403
01:17:42,859 --> 01:17:46,129
And it's varied. It's practical.
It's accessible.
1404
01:17:46,195 --> 01:17:48,197
And it's very much doable
by anyone.
1405
01:17:48,264 --> 01:17:50,734
And so, if I can change
people's perception
1406
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:53,202
about healthy eating
and healthy living,
1407
01:17:53,269 --> 01:17:55,939
that it's not sort of
just for the elite few,
1408
01:17:56,005 --> 01:17:59,075
it can be applied
to any kind of lifestyle,
budget,
1409
01:17:59,142 --> 01:18:00,844
country, location, gender,
1410
01:18:00,910 --> 01:18:02,846
then hopefully,
I've done my job well.
1411
01:18:04,347 --> 01:18:06,482
[Mark]
I've ordered some biltong
for it,
1412
01:18:06,549 --> 01:18:09,853
but we just need
to add to the order.
It's gonna be here on Friday.
1413
01:18:09,919 --> 01:18:12,455
Okay. There should have been
an extra in that last lot.
1414
01:18:12,521 --> 01:18:14,023
Yeah, there was. I used it.
1415
01:18:14,090 --> 01:18:16,025
Oh... For what? That packs?
1416
01:18:16,092 --> 01:18:19,428
Uh, no, that's included
in what we needed to order.
1417
01:18:19,495 --> 01:18:21,530
Right. Okay.
1418
01:18:21,597 --> 01:18:24,934
[Peter] The growth
over a short period of time
has been huge.
1419
01:18:25,001 --> 01:18:27,804
Our trade sales have increased
month on month,
1420
01:18:27,871 --> 01:18:31,040
and our website sales
have, again, increased
month on month.
1421
01:18:31,107 --> 01:18:34,310
We haven't actually had a month
that we've gone backwards.
1422
01:18:34,377 --> 01:18:37,914
Even continuing for Christmas
and all that sort of stuff
as well.
1423
01:18:37,981 --> 01:18:40,016
We've been overwhelmed
by the growth of it
1424
01:18:40,083 --> 01:18:43,052
and the reception
and the feedback
that we've been getting as well.
1425
01:18:44,187 --> 01:18:46,555
[Mark] I guess that's what
gets us up every morning is
1426
01:18:46,622 --> 01:18:49,525
not only do we wanna provide
the best products that we can
to people,
1427
01:18:49,592 --> 01:18:52,328
but part of what we do
is trying to help
educate people.
1428
01:18:55,398 --> 01:18:58,167
[man speaking foreign language]
1429
01:19:14,117 --> 01:19:15,785
[Kwella]
The growth of the channel
and of the BOX
1430
01:19:15,852 --> 01:19:19,022
is telling me that
we're doing the right thing
at the right time.
1431
01:19:19,088 --> 01:19:24,527
So, people are having
their eyes opened for it
and their minds opened for it,
1432
01:19:24,593 --> 01:19:27,096
and they're open for new things.
1433
01:19:29,365 --> 01:19:33,569
[Naomi] What drives me is
the fact that I'm so passionate
about this movement.
1434
01:19:33,636 --> 01:19:37,440
I mean, it has changed my life
in so many ways.
1435
01:19:37,506 --> 01:19:39,108
It's built self-confidence,
1436
01:19:39,175 --> 01:19:41,010
it's eliminated health problems,
1437
01:19:41,077 --> 01:19:44,013
and it just
makes me feel awesome.
1438
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:48,985
And so, I just feel
this dire need to, like,
translate that to our customers
1439
01:19:49,052 --> 01:19:51,020
and get people excited
and encouraged
1440
01:19:51,087 --> 01:19:53,056
about doing something
that's gonna help them.
1441
01:19:53,122 --> 01:19:55,224
That's what drives me every day.
1442
01:20:02,465 --> 01:20:05,434
I would not put
my heart and my soul
into this business
1443
01:20:05,501 --> 01:20:08,204
and all of these resources
and all of these finances
1444
01:20:08,271 --> 01:20:10,206
if I didn't believe
in what I was doing.
1445
01:20:16,379 --> 01:20:18,347
[Man]
There aren't that many places
in the world
1446
01:20:18,414 --> 01:20:21,284
where like-minded people
can congregate,
and get together,
1447
01:20:21,350 --> 01:20:23,119
and share, not just their ideas
and experiences,
1448
01:20:23,186 --> 01:20:27,556
but sort of the emotion
that goes along with
how you feel living this way.
1449
01:20:27,623 --> 01:20:30,226
So it's quite powerful.
It's quite empowering
1450
01:20:30,293 --> 01:20:33,596
to be able to get here and, uh,
and share stories
1451
01:20:33,662 --> 01:20:35,298
and hear other people's stories
1452
01:20:35,364 --> 01:20:38,834
about
the amazing transformations
they've made in their lives.
1453
01:20:44,974 --> 01:20:48,912
[Michelle]
Yes, people make choices
that they maybe shouldn't have,
1454
01:20:48,978 --> 01:20:50,713
but you know what?
We still have answers,
1455
01:20:50,779 --> 01:20:54,918
and it's better for them
if they're out of that mess,
better for our country.
1456
01:20:54,984 --> 01:20:57,553
It's better for everybody
if they're fixed,
and they're healed
1457
01:20:57,620 --> 01:20:59,455
instead of giving them drugs
1458
01:20:59,522 --> 01:21:02,358
and telling them,
"Sorry, you're just gonna
have to live in a wheelchair,
1459
01:21:02,425 --> 01:21:05,929
and this is your life,
and the quality of your life
doesn't matter."
1460
01:21:05,995 --> 01:21:07,931
Bullshit. Bullshit.
1461
01:21:07,997 --> 01:21:10,166
I'm sorry.
That's just not right.
1462
01:21:10,233 --> 01:21:13,970
The reason why Keith and I do
what we do here at Paleo f(x)
1463
01:21:14,037 --> 01:21:17,140
is to reach
as many people as possible.
1464
01:21:17,206 --> 01:21:21,710
I will get on the highest roof
and scream the loudest
if I have to,
1465
01:21:21,777 --> 01:21:26,082
but what I do is
to try to save as many people
as I possibly can.
1466
01:21:26,149 --> 01:21:29,018
And I feel like the reason
that I have to do that
1467
01:21:29,085 --> 01:21:33,456
is because conventional wisdom
has gotten us to this point,
1468
01:21:33,522 --> 01:21:39,128
and the only way out
is by helping people understand
there's a better way.
1469
01:21:40,263 --> 01:21:43,732
[Cain] At that time,
for me to find the Paleo diet,
1470
01:21:43,799 --> 01:21:46,335
I had to search, and search,
and search.
1471
01:21:46,402 --> 01:21:48,171
I wanted to get
more awareness out there.
1472
01:21:48,237 --> 01:21:49,372
It was like
it's harder to find,
1473
01:21:49,438 --> 01:21:51,607
and so I thought
it would be really easy to find
1474
01:21:51,674 --> 01:21:55,544
if it was just staring
at somebody on a... counter
1475
01:21:55,611 --> 01:21:57,913
or on a, on a magazine rack
at a checkout aisle.
1476
01:21:59,782 --> 01:22:02,518
And so, I thought,
"Okay, well, let's, um...
Let's just do the magazine,"
1477
01:22:02,585 --> 01:22:04,620
and my wife, of course,
thought I was an idiot,
because...
1478
01:22:05,654 --> 01:22:09,158
I have zero design experience
or...
1479
01:22:10,093 --> 01:22:11,427
publishing experience,
or anything.
1480
01:22:14,263 --> 01:22:17,166
I wanted to get
in front of people
where they needed it.
1481
01:22:17,233 --> 01:22:19,768
So, the guy or the gal
pushing out their cart
1482
01:22:19,835 --> 01:22:22,738
of processed crap
from whatever grocery store,
1483
01:22:22,805 --> 01:22:25,074
I wanted them to see a cover.
Hopefully, they look at it.
1484
01:22:25,141 --> 01:22:27,210
They grab it.
Those are the people
I wanted to see.
1485
01:22:27,276 --> 01:22:32,048
Not the CrossFitting, uh...
You know, person who's already
following Paleo kind of stuff.
1486
01:22:32,115 --> 01:22:34,217
I wanna provide information
for them as well,
1487
01:22:34,283 --> 01:22:37,186
but at the time,
I wanted to reach people
that maybe needed it more
1488
01:22:37,253 --> 01:22:39,122
than those people
that have kind of
already found it.
1489
01:22:54,170 --> 01:22:58,207
[Darryl] As human beings,
we have far more in common
with each other.
1490
01:22:58,274 --> 01:23:01,344
Regardless of where we're from,
regardless
of our racial heritage,
1491
01:23:01,410 --> 01:23:06,815
we have far more in common,
from a DNA point of view,
than what separates us.
1492
01:23:06,882 --> 01:23:10,386
And so, believing
that this diet
is optimal for humans,
1493
01:23:10,453 --> 01:23:15,224
I believe that anyone
and everyone will benefit
from the Paleo diet.
1494
01:23:16,359 --> 01:23:19,095
Paleo is for everyone,
and it should be for everyone.
1495
01:23:19,162 --> 01:23:21,697
I mean, there is
such a health care crisis
in this country
1496
01:23:21,764 --> 01:23:24,600
with obesity,
and chronic conditions,
and sickness,
1497
01:23:24,667 --> 01:23:28,104
that if everyone just paid
a little bit more attention
to what they put in their mouth,
1498
01:23:28,171 --> 01:23:31,107
I think we could
100% combat that.
1499
01:23:31,174 --> 01:23:33,309
If you wanna lose weight,
1500
01:23:33,376 --> 01:23:35,611
improve your performance
as an athlete,
1501
01:23:35,678 --> 01:23:39,482
everyone can get benefits
from it.
1502
01:23:39,548 --> 01:23:41,184
Changing your sleeping habits,
1503
01:23:41,250 --> 01:23:43,752
running outside,
or doing more movements,
1504
01:23:43,819 --> 01:23:46,322
reducing your stress
as much as possible,
1505
01:23:46,389 --> 01:23:48,457
actually getting
out in the sun regularly,
1506
01:23:48,524 --> 01:23:51,794
and getting in touch with nature
and being outdoors,
1507
01:23:51,860 --> 01:23:54,230
not using technology
as much as well.
1508
01:23:54,297 --> 01:23:57,766
Um, and I think
when people combine that
with the food,
1509
01:23:57,833 --> 01:24:01,504
they'll really feel
the positive effects
that it has on their wellbeing
1510
01:24:01,570 --> 01:24:02,771
and their sort of longevity.
1511
01:24:02,838 --> 01:24:05,274
Aging is about inflammation.
1512
01:24:05,341 --> 01:24:09,178
And if you keep your diet clean,
1513
01:24:09,245 --> 01:24:11,314
it's anti-inflammatory.
1514
01:24:11,380 --> 01:24:13,749
And so,
it is an anti-aging diet.
1515
01:24:13,816 --> 01:24:17,120
And it's designed
for the duration of your life.
1516
01:24:17,186 --> 01:24:18,621
You need to cut out the grains,
1517
01:24:18,687 --> 01:24:20,223
and you need to cut out dairy,
1518
01:24:20,289 --> 01:24:22,591
and you need
to cut out vegetable oils.
1519
01:24:22,658 --> 01:24:25,594
The first thing you do
is you start at zero, right?
1520
01:24:25,661 --> 01:24:29,565
You get rid of all the poisons,
you bring in the good stuff,
and you start from there.
1521
01:24:29,632 --> 01:24:32,168
Cutting out grains, and sugars,
and legumes, all that kind
of stuff,
1522
01:24:32,235 --> 01:24:34,570
and doing it
for 30 days is good.
Everybody should do that.
1523
01:24:34,637 --> 01:24:37,606
And that's just
because those are
the biggest-offending things,
1524
01:24:37,673 --> 01:24:38,641
or some of them are just...
1525
01:24:40,109 --> 01:24:43,246
horrible, food-like items
that nobody should eat anyway.
1526
01:24:43,312 --> 01:24:46,682
But you gotta pull
all that stuff out for 30 days
just to reset.
1527
01:24:46,749 --> 01:24:48,050
Because you can't listen
to your own body and...
1528
01:24:48,117 --> 01:24:50,319
"Oh, this makes me feel good.
This makes me feel bad."
1529
01:24:50,386 --> 01:24:53,322
Unless you get that baseline
kind of reset thing going.
1530
01:24:53,389 --> 01:24:55,824
Get rid of the all the poisons
and toxins in your environment.
1531
01:24:55,891 --> 01:24:57,626
Just think of it
as like spring cleaning.
1532
01:24:57,693 --> 01:25:02,298
Except that you haven't done
your spring cleaning
in 47 years, right?
1533
01:25:02,365 --> 01:25:04,767
Knowing what to look for.
Like, if you go into a shop,
1534
01:25:04,833 --> 01:25:08,237
it's really easy
to go down one aisle
and make a bad choice
1535
01:25:08,304 --> 01:25:11,607
than go down another aisle
and make a better choice.
1536
01:25:11,674 --> 01:25:13,642
Shift the emphasis
more towards foods
1537
01:25:13,709 --> 01:25:17,346
that are natural,
unprocessed, primal, Paleo,
1538
01:25:17,413 --> 01:25:19,182
generally lower-carb foods,
okay.
1539
01:25:19,248 --> 01:25:22,351
So, we're looking at things
like meat, and fish, and eggs,
and vegetables.
1540
01:25:22,418 --> 01:25:23,819
People over-complicate things.
1541
01:25:23,886 --> 01:25:25,654
It's just natural food.
1542
01:25:25,721 --> 01:25:28,891
It's just what you can
go and buy from your butcher's,
from your green grocer.
1543
01:25:28,957 --> 01:25:33,696
Try buying food and eating food
that still looks like what it...
like what it is originally,
1544
01:25:33,762 --> 01:25:35,364
like as the source of the food.
1545
01:25:35,431 --> 01:25:38,634
For some people,
if they even think about
cutting out a certain food,
1546
01:25:38,701 --> 01:25:40,035
they shut down.
1547
01:25:40,102 --> 01:25:41,537
So, I think
what I usually encourage
people to do is
1548
01:25:41,604 --> 01:25:45,808
just take baby steps
and not make it
so all or nothing.
1549
01:25:45,874 --> 01:25:48,511
Least one thing
that could be considered here
1550
01:25:48,577 --> 01:25:50,979
is to take the two main
meals of the day, say
1551
01:25:51,046 --> 01:25:52,915
lunch and evening meal,
1552
01:25:52,981 --> 01:25:56,219
and convert them into something
looking like Paleo.
1553
01:25:56,285 --> 01:25:59,522
Just try to replace
the idea in your head
1554
01:25:59,588 --> 01:26:03,592
that you cannot do that
with "I can do something
much better."
1555
01:26:03,659 --> 01:26:05,394
Just the fact that
1556
01:26:05,461 --> 01:26:08,364
you're reducing your reliance
on processed foods
and manufactured foods,
1557
01:26:08,431 --> 01:26:11,867
you're gonna be seeking food
from better sources,
1558
01:26:11,934 --> 01:26:13,502
is gonna improve your health.
1559
01:26:13,569 --> 01:26:16,705
Make a commitment
to learning how to cook
the foods that you like,
1560
01:26:16,772 --> 01:26:18,874
and you start to experiment,
and you take the time,
1561
01:26:18,941 --> 01:26:21,310
and you get on the Internet
and do some research.
1562
01:26:21,377 --> 01:26:23,379
You can buy some recipes books
or some cookbooks.
1563
01:26:23,446 --> 01:26:25,281
And then you stay with it
long enough
1564
01:26:25,348 --> 01:26:30,919
so that you can have
an intimate and intuitive
relationship with your own body
1565
01:26:30,986 --> 01:26:33,489
and to know whether things
are good or bad for you.
1566
01:26:33,556 --> 01:26:35,558
Take some blood panel work
1567
01:26:35,624 --> 01:26:37,793
and do a snapshot
before and after,
1568
01:26:37,860 --> 01:26:40,596
and then you can see
what the results are
for yourself.
1569
01:26:40,663 --> 01:26:43,366
See how you look, feel,
and perform.
1570
01:26:43,432 --> 01:26:45,033
I mean, you have nothing to lose
1571
01:26:45,100 --> 01:26:49,938
but to possibly...
get healthier,
feel better, lose weight...
1572
01:26:50,839 --> 01:26:53,876
you know,
if you have any diseases,
possibly reverse them.
1573
01:26:53,942 --> 01:26:56,845
Whatever the reasons behind...
Whether it's the science,
1574
01:26:56,912 --> 01:26:59,815
whether it's, you know,
another person's experience,
1575
01:26:59,882 --> 01:27:02,618
if that works for you,
and you're seeing an improvement
1576
01:27:02,685 --> 01:27:06,389
based on your blood work,
and based on, you know,
reduction in body fat,
1577
01:27:06,455 --> 01:27:08,591
and improvement
in body composition,
1578
01:27:08,657 --> 01:27:11,294
then it's something
you're likely to want
to continue.
1579
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:15,964
I cannot make you worse
by giving you real food,
whole food.
1580
01:27:16,031 --> 01:27:19,034
I mean, you know,
what's the downside to that?
1581
01:27:19,101 --> 01:27:20,803
Even if you eat meat now,
1582
01:27:20,869 --> 01:27:24,507
then you're more likely
to chose better qualities,
and better cuts of meat,
1583
01:27:24,573 --> 01:27:26,375
and more healthy sources
of meat.
1584
01:27:26,442 --> 01:27:28,911
You recognize that what...
the animal that you eat,
1585
01:27:28,977 --> 01:27:32,047
whatever they're eating
also contributes
to their health.
1586
01:27:32,114 --> 01:27:36,885
You will just, I guess,
feel more in touch
with where your food comes from.
1587
01:27:36,952 --> 01:27:39,888
And I think
you don't need rocket science
for that.
1588
01:27:39,955 --> 01:27:44,393
If you eat more good food...
that's great.
1589
01:27:44,460 --> 01:27:47,062
If you're still eating
some of the things
that you used to eat,
1590
01:27:47,129 --> 01:27:49,398
it's way better
than just eating all of that,
1591
01:27:49,465 --> 01:27:52,000
because you're so afraid
to make any changes at all.
1592
01:27:52,701 --> 01:27:56,739
Once you start
to be consciously aware
of what you're eating,
1593
01:27:56,805 --> 01:27:59,342
and then you apply that
to your internal environment,
1594
01:27:59,408 --> 01:28:01,444
then you realize
you're gonna have
to make some changes.
1595
01:28:01,510 --> 01:28:03,812
Or if you're not gonna be able
to make those changes,
1596
01:28:03,879 --> 01:28:06,982
willingly accept
the consequences
of your actions.
1597
01:28:07,049 --> 01:28:12,388
If you start something,
make sure you last long enough
to feel a change.
1598
01:28:12,455 --> 01:28:14,757
So, don't skip
on the first days,
1599
01:28:14,823 --> 01:28:16,859
or after 10 days,
"Oh, it doesn't work."
1600
01:28:16,925 --> 01:28:20,463
Like, after two weeks,
you cannot say
if a diet works on not.
1601
01:28:20,529 --> 01:28:23,131
And "diet" not in terms
of really "dieting,"
1602
01:28:23,198 --> 01:28:26,502
but, like, in terms
of nourishing your body
and eating.
1603
01:28:27,503 --> 01:28:29,672
Starting off
by implementing the diet,
1604
01:28:29,738 --> 01:28:33,075
you're more likely
to use that as a gateway
to other areas of your lifestyle
1605
01:28:33,141 --> 01:28:35,077
that will also improve.
1606
01:28:35,143 --> 01:28:38,747
You're more likely to start
thinking about activity levels
and increasing those.
1607
01:28:38,814 --> 01:28:40,082
You're more likely
to start questioning
1608
01:28:40,148 --> 01:28:41,850
the type of products
you have in your household.
1609
01:28:41,917 --> 01:28:43,986
You know, the toxicity of those.
1610
01:28:44,052 --> 01:28:46,389
You're more likely
to consider, "Okay, you know,
1611
01:28:46,455 --> 01:28:48,357
maybe I am drinking too much,
and I need to moderate that."
1612
01:28:48,424 --> 01:28:53,796
There are other areas
of your lifestyle that I believe
will be looked at in more detail
1613
01:28:53,862 --> 01:28:55,097
when you embark on this journey.
1614
01:28:55,163 --> 01:28:57,032
It's gonna get better,
not worse.
1615
01:28:57,099 --> 01:28:58,467
So,
that's how I would look at it.
1616
01:28:58,534 --> 01:29:01,470
It's a lifetime commitment.
Just go out and have fun.
1617
01:29:01,537 --> 01:29:04,573
It's a marvelous lifestyle,
1618
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:07,142
which brings so much more
to your life, really.
1619
01:29:07,209 --> 01:29:09,712
That's kind of the only thing
I can tell somebody.
1620
01:29:09,778 --> 01:29:12,080
I mean,
do you wanna feel better or not?
1621
01:29:12,147 --> 01:29:13,516
I don't know.
1622
01:29:43,979 --> 01:29:49,685
Paleo came into my life,
because my whole life,
I've struggled with weight.
1623
01:29:49,752 --> 01:29:51,487
I was 300 pounds.
1624
01:29:51,554 --> 01:29:53,121
My face was super-round.
1625
01:29:53,188 --> 01:29:56,492
I was 285 to 290 pounds.
1626
01:29:56,559 --> 01:29:59,662
I was lethargic,
and, you know, just sleepy,
1627
01:29:59,728 --> 01:30:00,896
and just kind of
walking through life.
1628
01:30:00,963 --> 01:30:04,232
I've been "diagnosed"
with cancer, lupus.
1629
01:30:04,299 --> 01:30:05,968
I used to be on
lots of steroids.
1630
01:30:06,034 --> 01:30:08,103
I used to have
to inject morphine into myself.
1631
01:30:08,170 --> 01:30:10,939
About two and a half years ago,
I found the Paleo lifestyle.
1632
01:30:11,006 --> 01:30:14,943
I resisted it. I resisted...
vehemently at first.
1633
01:30:15,010 --> 01:30:17,746
I though it was, like,
the craziest thing
you could think of.
1634
01:30:17,813 --> 01:30:20,182
"This is ridiculous.
I believe in vegetarianism."
1635
01:30:20,248 --> 01:30:22,751
One day, I decided
to take it all
into my own hands.
1636
01:30:22,818 --> 01:30:25,220
Find out what works for me,
what doesn't.
1637
01:30:25,287 --> 01:30:26,955
That's how I found out
about Paleo.
1638
01:30:27,022 --> 01:30:29,792
I had to make a change
in the way I was eating,
the way I was living.
1639
01:30:29,858 --> 01:30:33,596
Okay,
we're throwing away everything.
We're starting new.
1640
01:30:33,662 --> 01:30:35,197
My light came on.
I figured it out.
1641
01:30:35,263 --> 01:30:37,733
I was like,
"This makes so much sense."
1642
01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:40,168
I've lost 80 pounds
within one year.
1643
01:30:40,235 --> 01:30:42,170
Got to run a mile
for the first time in my life.
1644
01:30:42,237 --> 01:30:43,806
I started exercising.
1645
01:30:43,872 --> 01:30:45,841
I made more
and more food choices.
1646
01:30:45,908 --> 01:30:47,375
It's me, you know.
1647
01:30:47,442 --> 01:30:50,078
My mood isn't determined
on if I just had a insulin spike
or not.
1648
01:30:50,145 --> 01:30:53,582
Within a few months,
I was doing 5Ks,
and obstacle course races,
1649
01:30:53,649 --> 01:30:55,183
and crazy stuff like that.
1650
01:30:55,250 --> 01:30:57,252
I have progressive MS.
1651
01:30:57,319 --> 01:30:59,888
And I went from full-time care
1652
01:30:59,955 --> 01:31:02,591
to basically,
I'm completely self-sufficient.
1653
01:31:02,658 --> 01:31:06,629
And there's so much more to it
than just going and eating...
you know,
1654
01:31:06,695 --> 01:31:09,765
eating, getting the cravings,
put something in your stomach.
1655
01:31:11,366 --> 01:31:13,636
It's all about focusing
on your body.
1656
01:31:13,702 --> 01:31:16,171
I now believe
that Paleo is about nourishment.
1657
01:31:16,238 --> 01:31:18,607
More so than I believe
that it's about elimination,
1658
01:31:18,674 --> 01:31:20,709
or about being thin.
1659
01:31:20,776 --> 01:31:22,878
Natural patterns,
natural eating...
1660
01:31:24,279 --> 01:31:26,181
and a life that's
genuinely worth living.
1661
01:31:26,248 --> 01:31:27,950
I completely got my life back,
1662
01:31:28,016 --> 01:31:30,252
and I continue to heal,
1663
01:31:30,318 --> 01:31:32,988
and I believe
that self-care is health care,
1664
01:31:33,055 --> 01:31:34,690
and food is medicine.
1665
01:31:34,757 --> 01:31:36,892
And I just want
the whole world to know that.
1666
01:31:36,959 --> 01:31:39,127
The things
that make my body feel the best
1667
01:31:39,194 --> 01:31:41,029
and the things
that make me feel
more like myself
1668
01:31:41,096 --> 01:31:42,330
are the things
that are closest to nature.
1669
01:31:42,397 --> 01:31:44,700
And really, the Paleo diet
covers all of that,
1670
01:31:44,767 --> 01:31:46,902
and it makes me feel more alive,
more happy.
1671
01:31:46,969 --> 01:31:49,204
I got... I got everything
that I lost back.
1672
01:31:49,271 --> 01:31:52,908
And what I needed
was to... think about Paleo
1673
01:31:52,975 --> 01:31:57,245
in a way that was...
about enriching my body
and my spirit.
1674
01:31:57,312 --> 01:32:00,749
Literally, everything I am now
in life or everything I'm doing
1675
01:32:00,816 --> 01:32:01,950
has been traced back
to that moment
1676
01:32:02,017 --> 01:32:03,652
where I kind of
discovered this whole thing.
1677
01:32:03,719 --> 01:32:06,188
Step in.
Get your toe wet somewhere.
1678
01:32:06,254 --> 01:32:09,057
It's all about eating clean,
1679
01:32:09,124 --> 01:32:11,627
playing often,
and crushing life.
1680
01:32:12,895 --> 01:32:15,197
It's really fun.
It's like a whole new life.
1681
01:32:15,263 --> 01:32:17,900
This is... This is it.
1682
01:32:17,966 --> 01:32:20,235
Some form of it is it.
1683
01:32:20,302 --> 01:32:24,139
There's just really no
way that I can pay back
except sharing it with others.
1684
01:32:24,206 --> 01:32:27,209
