Speaker 1 (00:00):
Saying it, don't tell It's not the same thing as
saying it at the Fisher House. The Fisher House, I know,
is a huge part of lane recovery for somebody like
my husband, For them to know that their family members
are being taken care of, that's a huge part and
off of them so they can concentrate on their therapies.
Just having that assurance that no matter what, as long
as we were there for ants and that someone would
(00:22):
be there to take care of us, it took so
much weight off our shoulders. How can you help go
to Fisher House dot org. Thanks for listening to work
Out Wednesday with Anthony Dr Julie Gatson. Now, first off,
I know we're going to talk about metabolism and how
to speed up your metabolism. Um, but you hear people
(00:43):
all the time talking about their genetics or whether or
not they have a slow metabolism or a fast metabolism,
or whether it's slowed down or not. Um, what are
some of the metabolism basics that we all need to
just kind of understand. Well, metabolism itself is how the
body actually gets the energy and runs and survives. And yes,
(01:04):
people do have slower metabolisms, and there is a genetic
component to it. However, the biggest thing that I've seen
with people that are aren't burning calories the way that
they want to account lose the weight, don't have the
energy that they need. The biggest problem is the digestion.
And if you correct somebody's digestive system, you'd be amazed
at how everything works the way it's supposed to it.
(01:26):
Are there things that we're doing too kind of wreck
our metabolism or is this just a natural cycle of life?
Oh no, we're wrecking it worse than ever now. Some
of the habits that we've gotten into that are so
common we wouldn't even think to knock them out. Coffee, tea,
and pop keep you from actually absorbing. So when you're
drinking those things, they change your digestive system and alkalize it.
(01:50):
And you want an acidic system to be able to
get the nutrition in. So drinking those things, even a
half a cup of day will change how you actually
run your metabolism, and you may energy afterwards, but it's
going to slow it down in the long run. Really,
So even just a cup of coffee to kick off
your morning is actually slowing down your metabolism, even though
you feel like you're kind of waking up and speeding
up in life. That's right, and it's keeping your nutrients
(02:13):
from getting in properly. And over time, what happens is
people will start to get the muffin tops, they get
the sergic, they get tired. They have to then have
the coffee to have the energy because it's fake energy.
No longer are you making it interesting? Okay, So then
what are some of the steps we can all take
I guess too, to stop destroying our metabolism and then
(02:34):
build it back up. I want to eat your three
meals a day. People are skipping the breakfast, they're having
a coffee instead. Uh, then later in the afternoon they're
having maybe another cup, and then they'll have lunch. You
need to eat the protein in the morning because your
bodies and sleeping and it's now going to go off
the reserves if you don't eat properly and normally and
(02:55):
get that in. So each meal should have protein number one.
I don't care about fake and sausage. Eat those, they're fine.
The body is fine with them. In terms of number
of meals, you said three meals. I know some people say,
have smaller meals throughout the day as opposed to three
big meals. Is there is there a benefit or is
that just finding your sweet spot personally for every person.
(03:16):
I think it's finding your sweet sweet spot personally. But
I'd rather myself have more frequent meals in the day.
It's just we don't always have situations in life set
up to be able to do that. That's very true.
And I know for myself, I wake up obviously, I
do morning radio. If I don't have time, the first
thing to go is breakfast, because I don't want to
sit there and cook it. Is there something simple that
(03:37):
either myself or anyone else that's in a rush every
morning can keep in their fridge or keeping their pantry
to just go to in the morning. Yes, eggs, just
hard boil them. You can crack an egg open and
get it done and send seconds and be done with
eating it in less than a minute. What's the perfect
simple protein? All right? What are some other suggestions for
for breakfast? For breakfast? You know, we've only been eating
(04:01):
American food for breakfast for the past hundred years, so
everyone has in their mind that it has to be
a bacon and egg sausage, you know, biscuits sort of
a breakfast. And I eat a lot of dinner for breakfast,
you know, if it's a piece of cold steak or
some cold chicken, and you know, I fish in the morning.
And it's simply because I'm not a huge fan of breakfast.
(04:22):
No matter what, I'm eating other foods and it's totally
healthy and break crea Well. I guess if you can
eat breakfast any time in the day, you can also
eat lunch and dinner any time of the day. That's exactly.
It all kind of makes sense. Um. And obviously, yes,
eating your your balanced meals, however often throughout the day
is important. Um. And I also know and this is
something that obviously it's called the Workout Wednesday podcast. Moving
(04:45):
and working out is also very important. Yeah, And everyone
thinks they have to do some major aspect at the gym.
If they just would start with a twenty minute walk
five to six days a week, you start to get
a habit in your body starts to rely on it,
You create the need for more nutrition because of it,
your lymphatic system starts to work better, and you get
(05:05):
your joints in motion. And now you have you know,
a situation that's set up in daily your body is
counting on it, and you'll lose the weight and you'll
start to get some energy back just with a simple
twenty minute walk. You know. One of my favorite things
to do, and maybe I could just make this suggestion
to everybody is you know, we all have our Netflix
shows or whatever that we love to watch. What I've
started doing is I'll just watch my favorite Netflix show
(05:28):
on a treadmill. It's so brilliant. I wish more people
would set that up that way. Most of them don't
have the TV where the treadmill is, but heck you can,
you know, thirty minutes beyond that and the show's over
and exactly and you don't even realize that because listen,
all in all reality, cardio is like the most boring
part of most people's plans, you know, I mean, being
(05:49):
on whether it's an optical or or a treadmill or whatever,
it's just it's not that fun. But if you can
just watch something you enjoy and you're happy to be
moving the whole time, it makes perfect sense. Yeah, it's
that's the best way to do it, especially and people
don't like it, and um, I know, sleep is something
that if you're listening to this podcast, you're going to
hear a lot of different people talking about getting the
(06:10):
right amount of sleep. I know, we just had a
podcast where the suggested amount of sleep with seven hours. Um,
how do sleep actually affect your metabolism though? Well, you
have to have a downtime for the body. So when
you're actually down at night, uh, your body is regenerating
and your hormonal systems resetting and your adrenals are relaxing,
(06:32):
So that downtime is necessary so that when you are
up and moving you have everything you know, ready to
go again. That's why it's important to have a good
breakfast in the morning, because after you've been sleeping, you
don't want to then go towards reserves. And I don't
mean reserves of fat burning reserves. I'm talking to your
nutritional reserves. So I've found that more people feel better,
(06:54):
have more energy, and weight loss is huge, including balancing
hormones if they get you know, seven to eight hours asleep.
Some people do just need less, but seven to eight
is about the norm for most. So what is happening
to your body specifically when you're not sleeping, Like, what
is happening to your metabolism. Is it just working and
overdrive because you're awake the whole time. Yeah, that's exactly right.
(07:15):
And you know, your dream of gland sit on top
of your kidneys and they are there to help you
in any short term stress situation. But when you've abused
them and you're not sleeping and they're not um you know, regenerating,
what happens now is you don't make the steroids that
you need to fight pain and inflammation because they're made
by a dreamal. You start to put weight on, your
(07:37):
hormones become imbalanced, and uh, you know, blood pressure and
blood sugar can all elevate simply because you aren't giving
the body the downtime and you're stressing out your adrenal.
You know what's funny And I just realized that as
you were saying that every single person can relate to that,
that sense of panic when your phone gets down to
like and how like think about how much of an
(08:00):
for you make to make sure that your phone is
always charged, but we don't do that with ourselves. It's
absolutely true, and that's a great analogy. And uh, I
would say most people are working because of the fact
that they're you know, getting a second wind at night
because they decide they can, or you know, watching TV
(08:20):
way too later, playing on their phone, and really the
body just needs the downtime. It really, in all realities
should be sleeping with you know, when the sun goes
down and up with the sun. That's how you know
the cells actually do the best, unless you're like me
and you wake up before the sun comes up because
you have to be at work at five o'clock in
the morning. The exception, UM, something that I did implement
(08:42):
into my diet within the past year UM was green tea,
which I will throw this out there. Originally hated the
way it tasted, UM, but I've kind of adapted to it,
I guess, or just become accustomed to it. And I've
been told and the reason I did this is because
that actually will help your mattas BALLISOM. It's true, and
(09:03):
it can go into help with the reserves of the
fat cells in the in the in the body and
help to um get that so the six scapes and
you can burn more fat. But the one problem with
drinking too much green tea is it does change how
you absorb, so you don't want to over consume green
tea because you think, oh I can get used to
this and just burn a ton of fat. It changes
(09:24):
how you get nutrition, and so one a day would
be suffice. Okay, so just one green tea? Is there
anything else, um, similar to green tea that we can use?
Ginger tea fresh ginger tea. You could actually just you know,
get some ginger, cut it up, boil it, and it's
really good for the metabolism, for energy, It helps out
with the digestive system, and uh, it has its own
(09:45):
taste as well. Peppermint also would help with that, So
you can grow your own or get peppermint teas. And
I always recommend organic if you're going to be doing
you know that type of a thing. So peppermint tea,
green tea, and what was it the ginger tea? Correct,
So all of those three things will have similar components
and similar effects on your metabolism. That's right. What are
(10:06):
some other things we need to worry about in terms
of kind of resetting our metabolism getting it back to
a healthy I don't know, metabolic cycle. What would you
call it? Yeah, that would be the right way to
put it. Um. You know, a lot of people consume
an awful lot of dairy, and they do an awful
lot of grains, and dairy and grains in general are
tough on digestion. They puff you up. You can't absorb
(10:29):
the nutrition properly from them, and they've been altered in
this country enough that it's not such a great food anymore.
So if people would stick with eating proteins, eating steam,
green vegetables, salads minimal for the moment, and not too
much fruit. The reason being is you want food that's
so easily digested that you don't have to work too
hard to get in what the nutrition is. You don't
(10:51):
want to overkill the vegetables by steaming them too much.
But those are the best things that I've seen. People
feel better, their joints don't hurt, they sleep better, their
hormonal system starts to work better. And it's protein and
vegetables mostly. You know, and I don't think people stress
enough how changing your diet and making giving yourself a
(11:11):
better diet actually does affect your sleep. It was the
one big thing I noticed the one time that I
really like monitored what I ate and everything. Not only
did I have more energy throughout the day's partly because
I just I fell asleep easier, That's right. I mean,
I've been a doctor for twenty seven years, and my
whole slow purpose has been fixing people's digestive systems, changing
(11:34):
their diets. And you know, I've successfully been treating people
with diabetes and fibro myalgia and asthma, and you know,
allergies of all kinds and joint pains and chronic pain,
and the diet was the number one thing. And you
know we haven't mentioned under these enzymes that the body
is supposed to be making. If you're not making the
correct amount of enzymes, you're not able to break down
(11:56):
the food that you are eating, even if it's good food.
So what end Well, first off, what enzymes? What enzymes?
I'm sorry, do we need to be producing to have
a healthy metabolism? Are you would be producing protease breakdown proteins,
amaase to break down um carbohydrates, light paste to break
down fats And these are enzymes that our bodies should
(12:18):
be producing. But since we sort of abused our systems,
we have some bad habits. Um As we age, we
don't make as many as we need to. We don't
really have as much as we're supposed to have to
break down a meal. Okay. I've always um suggested patients
to take extra ones, you know, and in a vitamin form. Okay,
So then how where where do I get that? What
(12:39):
do I look for in terms of digestive enzymes. You
want one with all those types of enzymes um, And
the one that I use is called absorb a platinum,
and the platinum also has um probiotics in it, and
that will also help to keep the body collinated with
the right things that it needs digestively. But these enzymes
are so powerful, it's it's amazing the energy you get
(13:02):
and the foods can be broken down up to better
absorptions just by taking the enzymes. Now, how do the
probiotics also help in this whole I guess cocktail of enzymes. Well,
you have a normal balance of used and bacteria in
your digestive system, and from antibiotic use, stress surgeries, poor
habits um our yeast can become overgrowth and the and
(13:26):
the good bacteria UM isn't imbalanced. So by taking the probiotics,
you're putting back in good bacteria which helps out with
a normal healthy digestive system. Okay, So the probiotics help
kind of keep everything regulated, as do the enzymes. And
you can get that at all. And what was it called.
It's called absorbent platinum and you can get them through
(13:46):
a company called Nature Sources UM. They have a website
which you can get on nature sources dot com. If
you use the code radio you can have some free samples.
Or I know we touched on exercising earlier. Is there
a specific type of exercise I'm not talking about like
a routine, but like should I be doing cardio more often?
(14:07):
Should I be using weights? Should I be doing high intensity? Uh,
interval training? Like what kind of workout program helps your metabolism?
You know, the interval training helps probably the most. But
I've also seen over the years that cardio with um
weight training is so much better than just people who
go out and do running, So you do need to
(14:28):
balance it. It does get you strong, it burns the fat,
it changes the metabolism faster when you're doing interval training,
and I agree, thank you weights with the cardio all right,
And this is something I do in the podcast every week.
There's usually one if you can take one thing from
this podcast, If you can take one UM piece of
(14:48):
advice from everything that we have talked about, what is
the most important thing you wish everyone would just either
add or remove from their life in the next week
if they if you had a magic wand you could say,
everyone's gonna do this thing for me. Since digestion is
the basis to every disease I've ever seen that's gonna
rise is a poor digestice system, it would be to
(15:08):
get them on the highest quality enzymes that they can
get on, because you're getting nutrition through your diet, and
if you're not able to absorb those nutrients through your diet,
then you're not going to be a healthy person no
matter what you do. It's the only way you get
nutrition in and it's such a you know, a well
kept secret that shouldn't be secret because you need to
(15:29):
have enzymes to break down the foods. I mean, hecka
thanksgiving way to both of these enzymes. Sitting out and
all throughout the day, people were taking them, and by
the end of the evening we all had energy. We
weren't flipped on the couch, nobody's holding their bellies. And
that was just you know, my insurance to make sure
my guests were still having a decent time, and they
weren't just you know, dead at the end of the night.
(15:49):
So enzymes are killer and important and hardly anyone knows
about it. Okay, is it just in pill form um, Yeah, sintillform.
It also comes in powder form um. It's good for kids,
it's good for anybody. Really, it's a vegan capsule and um.
When you take enzymes without food, it helps to get
rid of inflammation in the body. People who travel sometimes
(16:11):
they'll notice that their ankles are swelling in their hands
or you know, sort of sausagy. You can take these
enzymes before you get to bed, and you wake up
and low and behold, your ankles are better and your
hands so good. Well, thank you UM so much. I
know a lot of people like your metabolism. I feel
like a lot of people just think that's this mysterious
thing that you can't control. And knowing that you actually
(16:32):
can do things every day, I think it's gonna make
a big difference for a lot of people. We all
have had something we've needed to get off our chest.
Sometimes you just need to tell a stranger. The original
dirty Little Secret with Carlo marine Anthony, these stories are
and the voices have changed to respect privacy. Saying it
(16:55):
will tell it's not the same thing I'm saying it
at the Fisher House. The Fisher House, I know, is
a huge art of blanche recovery for somebody like my husband.
For them to know that their family members are being
taken care of, that's a huge pardon off of them,
so they can concentrate on their therapies. Just having that
assurance that no matter what, as long as we were
there for Anson, that someone would be there to take
(17:17):
care of us. It took so much weight off our shoulders.
How can you help? Go to Fisherhouse dot org.
Saying it, don't tell It's not the same thing as
saying it at the Fisher House. The Fisher House, I know,
is a huge part of lane recovery for somebody like
my husband, For them to know that their family members
are being taken care of, that's a huge part and

(08:42):
into my diet within the past year UM was green tea,
which I will throw this out there. Originally hated the
way it tasted, UM, but I've kind of adapted to it,
I guess, or just become accustomed to it. And I've
been told and the reason I did this is because
that actually will help your mattas BALLISOM. It's true, and
(09:03):
it can go into help with the reserves of the
fat cells in the in the in the body and
help to um get that so the six scapes and
you can burn more fat. But the one problem with
drinking too much green tea is it does change how
you absorb, so you don't want to over consume green
tea because you think, oh I can get used to
this and just burn a ton of fat. It changes
(09:24):
how you get nutrition, and so one a day would
be suffice. Okay, so just one green tea? Is there
anything else, um, similar to green tea that we can use?
Ginger tea fresh ginger tea. You could actually just you know,
get some ginger, cut it up, boil it, and it's
really good for the metabolism, for energy, It helps out
with the digestive system, and uh, it has its own
(09:45):
taste as well. Peppermint also would help with that, So
you can grow your own or get peppermint teas. And
I always recommend organic if you're going to be doing
you know that type of a thing. So peppermint tea,
green tea, and what was it the ginger tea? Correct,
So all of those three things will have similar components
and similar effects on your metabolism. That's right. What are
(10:06):
some other things we need to worry about in terms
of kind of resetting our metabolism getting it back to
a healthy I don't know, metabolic cycle. What would you
call it? Yeah, that would be the right way to
put it. Um. You know, a lot of people consume
an awful lot of dairy, and they do an awful
lot of grains, and dairy and grains in general are
tough on digestion. They puff you up. You can't absorb
(10:29):
the nutrition properly from them, and they've been altered in
this country enough that it's not such a great food anymore.
So if people would stick with eating proteins, eating steam,
green vegetables, salads minimal for the moment, and not too
much fruit. The reason being is you want food that's
so easily digested that you don't have to work too
hard to get in what the nutrition is. You don't
(10:51):
want to overkill the vegetables by steaming them too much.
But those are the best things that I've seen. People
feel better, their joints don't hurt, they sleep better, their
hormonal system starts to work better. And it's protein and
vegetables mostly. You know, and I don't think people stress
enough how changing your diet and making giving yourself a
(11:11):
better diet actually does affect your sleep. It was the
one big thing I noticed the one time that I
really like monitored what I ate and everything. Not only
did I have more energy throughout the day's partly because
I just I fell asleep easier, That's right. I mean,
I've been a doctor for twenty seven years, and my
whole slow purpose has been fixing people's digestive systems, changing
(11:34):
their diets. And you know, I've successfully been treating people
with diabetes and fibro myalgia and asthma, and you know,
allergies of all kinds and joint pains and chronic pain,
and the diet was the number one thing. And you
know we haven't mentioned under these enzymes that the body
is supposed to be making. If you're not making the
correct amount of enzymes, you're not able to break down
(11:56):
the food that you are eating, even if it's good food.
So what end Well, first off, what enzymes? What enzymes?
I'm sorry, do we need to be producing to have
a healthy metabolism? Are you would be producing protease breakdown proteins,
amaase to break down um carbohydrates, light paste to break
down fats And these are enzymes that our bodies should
(12:18):
be producing. But since we sort of abused our systems,
we have some bad habits. Um As we age, we
don't make as many as we need to. We don't
really have as much as we're supposed to have to
break down a meal. Okay. I've always um suggested patients
to take extra ones, you know, and in a vitamin form. Okay,
So then how where where do I get that? What
(12:39):
do I look for in terms of digestive enzymes. You
want one with all those types of enzymes um, And
the one that I use is called absorb a platinum,
and the platinum also has um probiotics in it, and
that will also help to keep the body collinated with
the right things that it needs digestively. But these enzymes
are so powerful, it's it's amazing the energy you get
(13:02):
and the foods can be broken down up to better
absorptions just by taking the enzymes. Now, how do the
probiotics also help in this whole I guess cocktail of enzymes. Well,
you have a normal balance of used and bacteria in
your digestive system, and from antibiotic use, stress surgeries, poor
habits um our yeast can become overgrowth and the and
(13:26):
the good bacteria UM isn't imbalanced. So by taking the probiotics,
you're putting back in good bacteria which helps out with
a normal healthy digestive system. Okay, So the probiotics help
kind of keep everything regulated, as do the enzymes. And
you can get that at all. And what was it called.
It's called absorbent platinum and you can get them through
(13:46):
a company called Nature Sources UM. They have a website
which you can get on nature sources dot com. If
you use the code radio you can have some free samples.
Or I know we touched on exercising earlier. Is there
a specific type of exercise I'm not talking about like
a routine, but like should I be doing cardio more often?
(14:07):
Should I be using weights? Should I be doing high intensity? Uh,
interval training? Like what kind of workout program helps your metabolism?
You know, the interval training helps probably the most. But
I've also seen over the years that cardio with um
weight training is so much better than just people who
go out and do running, So you do need to
(14:28):
balance it. It does get you strong, it burns the fat,
it changes the metabolism faster when you're doing interval training,
and I agree, thank you weights with the cardio all right,
And this is something I do in the podcast every week.
There's usually one if you can take one thing from
this podcast, If you can take one UM piece of
(14:48):
advice from everything that we have talked about, what is
the most important thing you wish everyone would just either
add or remove from their life in the next week
if they if you had a magic wand you could say,
everyone's gonna do this thing for me. Since digestion is
the basis to every disease I've ever seen that's gonna
rise is a poor digestice system, it would be to
(15:08):
get them on the highest quality enzymes that they can
get on, because you're getting nutrition through your diet, and
if you're not able to absorb those nutrients through your diet,
then you're not going to be a healthy person no
matter what you do. It's the only way you get
nutrition in and it's such a you know, a well
kept secret that shouldn't be secret because you need to
(15:29):
have enzymes to break down the foods. I mean, hecka
thanksgiving way to both of these enzymes. Sitting out and
all throughout the day, people were taking them, and by
the end of the evening we all had energy. We
weren't flipped on the couch, nobody's holding their bellies. And
that was just you know, my insurance to make sure
my guests were still having a decent time, and they
weren't just you know, dead at the end of the night.
(15:49):
So enzymes are killer and important and hardly anyone knows
about it. Okay, is it just in pill form um, Yeah, sintillform.
It also comes in powder form um. It's good for kids,
it's good for anybody. Really, it's a vegan capsule and um.
When you take enzymes without food, it helps to get
rid of inflammation in the body. People who travel sometimes
(16:11):
they'll notice that their ankles are swelling in their hands
or you know, sort of sausagy. You can take these
enzymes before you get to bed, and you wake up
and low and behold, your ankles are better and your
hands so good. Well, thank you UM so much. I
know a lot of people like your metabolism. I feel
like a lot of people just think that's this mysterious
thing that you can't control. And knowing that you actually
(16:32):
can do things every day, I think it's gonna make
a big difference for a lot of people. We all
have had something we've needed to get off our chest.
Sometimes you just need to tell a stranger. The original
dirty Little Secret with Carlo marine Anthony, these stories are
and the voices have changed to respect privacy. Saying it
(16:55):
will tell it's not the same thing I'm saying it
at the Fisher House. The Fisher House, I know, is
a huge art of blanche recovery for somebody like my husband.
For them to know that their family members are being
taken care of, that's a huge pardon off of them,
so they can concentrate on their therapies. Just having that
assurance that no matter what, as long as we were
there for Anson, that someone would be there to take
(17:17):
care of us. It took so much weight off our shoulders.
