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...

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

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

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 -->

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.
