Speaker 2 (00:06):
Welcome to another Tackle Obesity show featuring Coach Richard Walker,
our host, members of the NFL alumni, lifestyle weight loss experts,
and key social media influencers that are making a difference
now Coach Richard Walker.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Hey, listen up, bring it in another Tackle Obesity other.
Thank you all for joining us again. We are so
glad to have you on the show, and make sure
you follow us life, share, subscribe tackle obcit dot com.
Also follow us on social media or eady platform tackle
Obesiti at tackle Obesiti. We're so glad to have you.
We're so glad to have all of our wonderful teammates

(00:46):
past the prison. If you know anyone who needs support,
one who is in the battle against obesity, have them
joined us, Tag them on social media, courage them to
go to Tackle Obesity website sign up for That's what
we're here for because we know that tackle obesity is
a medical condition and is not a character flaw, and
we are working to get it as a team to

(01:08):
overcome the tackle obesity epidemic. I want us talk real
quickly before we get started today about summer. We're at
the final few weeks spring where transitioning summer kids are
going to be out of school. Beaches are open party
summer parties, and many of us as adults, we focus
on our summer bides. What about the children, And one

(01:32):
of the things that gets overlooked is the fact that
during the summer this is a pitfall for obesity in
our children. In a recent study by the National Institute
of Biotechnology Information and the National Library of Medicine, it
shows that during the summer months, children tend to gain

(01:54):
weight on a thirty percent higher clip during the summer
months than they do during school year. Primary factors include
the fact that there's less activity. Some of the children
are not getting out and playing. In the South, we
have the issue of you know, possible heat exhaustion due
to extreme temperatures, and then there's just a general overall

(02:16):
lack of activity from not having a structured environment, not
moving from class to class. They're parked their front of
the TVs, their tablets and video games phones all day,
so there's a there's a there's a downtick in activity,
but there's a huge uptick in the amount of food
that they consume, and not only the amount of food
that they consume is the types of food that we consume.

(02:39):
We are addicted to processed foods, and having more access
to processed foods is never a good thing. Children are
sitting around eating cookies, crackers, chips, popcorn, whatever, all day long,
and so this is causing a problem. Accumulating evidence shows
that children in the USA from two thousand and seven

(03:02):
to twenty seventeen gained average of twelve pounds during the
summer months. That's a significant amount of weight, twelve pounds
on average that they gained during the summer months. So
we need to focus on not only making sure that
our children have more activity and maintain that activity during
summer uns, but we need to monitor the foods that

(03:22):
they eat. So I encourage you all definitely get some
support on what you can offer to your children. We
have some amazing content on our website Attacking with BCDT House.
Specifically look at the doctor Nerd segments where we talk
about different things that you can offer to your children
as alternatives instead of processed foods. Encourage your children to

(03:45):
be more active and to eat better. So these are
ways that we're going to work to get to overcome
this problem that we're seeing during the summer months. Now
that we have talked about that issue, I want to
focus on our two amazing teammates that I brought a
law today. One of them is our og, the man

(04:06):
who has been there from day one, mister Russ Allen.
He is the director of the NFL Alumni Wellness Program.
He is the brain shout of the Tackle of BA
City program. He's the one that I bet in Vegas
when I was hoarding ships, crackers, the cookies near thing
in four hundred plus pounds. And here I am today.
So I am so so grateful to half of here.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
How are we doing today, Russ Richard, I'm doing fantastic
And so he's so great to see you and be
able to share the things we're learning about tackling our obesity.
You know, my story was I lost fifty pounds, but
before picture was literally in front of the sign in
Death Valley, so you could do it. After that, my

(04:48):
wife lost seventy. So as a couple, we really took
this on together and it's really taking a new direction
in my life.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
And just like you, I.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Had a transformative journey and it really is such an honor.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
To be here, absolutely and it is a pleasure and honor. Guys,
bring out your not parents, drop questions in a chat.
If you have any email us doctor when we'll get
the questions to doctor Nintillo to provide you answers. He
is a gurup in this vallet against obesity from the

(05:25):
perspective as a medical professional. Obviously you know he's a cardiologist.
He's got infinite amount of experience dealing with people that
are dealing with this obesity crisis. But he also has
a personal pivot to this as will and I'm gonna
let him talk about that as well. He is a
trusted medical professional in this business, has been dealing with

(05:48):
patients and and and the co morbidities of obesity. So
it is such an honor to have you here doctor,
doctor greg Ntello. This is the last time I will
use this because now you're our teammate. We're no longer
going to call you a gift. You're now a teammate,
a new teammate, doctor Gregentale.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
And thank you Richard, and thank you Uss. It's been
a pleasure to work with us.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
And tackle obesity and fight against diabetes for a couple
of years now. And thank you so much, and proud
of both of you for what you do, all the people.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
You're helping is fantastic and it's a beautiful day, and.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
We should start out with some gratitude and know why
we're here. Have the mindset, and why we're here is
to improve well, actually, we're here not just to prevent
and not just to better manage, but to reverse chronic disease.
And right now we're flooded with an epidemic of chronic
disease in our country. And what that means is it's

(06:50):
a leading cause of disability, greatest reason for healthcare spending,
greater than ninety percent of health care spending, and greatest
cause of premature death.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
And we're talking about things like stroke, heart attack, Alzheimer's.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
Dimension, dementia, premature dementia, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
And actually all these things are a.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
Symptom of the flame that's out of control inside us
from the exposures we have all the time. And what
I want to do is make this very real to people,
because the purpose of this today is to tell you
how we can do this.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
It's very doable.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
It's just oftentimes we're not aware of things and that
the NFL alumni are legends, models for society, models for kids,
and have a tremendous impact. And each of us suffers
with one chronic illness for another. Our families do the
people around us, and there's a lot that we can

(07:58):
do to help ourselves and help other people. And that's
what we're going to go through today.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Doctor Nattello, I'd love for you to share a little
bit about your own experience as a youth and struggling
with type two diabetes and we'll leave it.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Let you go.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
Well, Ross, I'll tell you when I was in my
early teenage.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Years, I had diabetes.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
And my mother, who grew up on a farm but
worked as a professional waitress in Philadelphia at the pub,
and my father was a barber, and my mother just
wouldn't stand for it. My mother like went out of
control when the doctor said, here's insulin.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
You know at age I don't know, eleven or twelve,
and I would draw overweight. I was obese, and my
mother just wouldn't have that. And my mother imposed on me.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
Her lifestyle habits having grown up on a farm, and
actually reversed my diabet And at the time, it's kind
of interesting because at the time, it was called adult
onset diabetes versus like one diabetes. Right, type one diabetes
about five percent of people, but overwhelmingly ninety five percent

(09:16):
of diabetes is type two. And uh and at the
time we didn't know that. That doctor said, oh, you're
you're going to die without insulin. My mother took a
risky chance and straightened my life out and what I
eat and what I ate and what I was exposed to,
and actually resolved me of diabetes, which has come back
at times we're threatened to come back in my life.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
But I lost the obesity.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
I lost the diabetes for good pretty much, and uh,
I'm forever grateful for that. And I'll show you as
we go on, and I'm just going to show a
few slides, but I'll show you.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
As a college football player.

Speaker 5 (09:57):
Versus later on as a busy interventional cardiology carrying Twinkies
around in my pocket and drinking cokes and not sleeping
for years. The difference same, BMI. But I'm going to
show you the difference between health and illness. And then
and again in my adult.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Life, I uh, Richard and Russ, I was, oh, there was.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
Something wrong with me, and I had to go to
one doctor after another, and everybody said, Oh, you're just
working too hard. Don't worry about it. You was just
working too hard, and.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
I said, no, there's something wrong with me.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
And actually I was pretty sick.

Speaker 5 (10:33):
And finally I got a diagnostic label. And then they
tried to just put different layers of paint on the
hood without addressing the engine under the hood and without
getting to the heart of the matter, and they all
meant well. And then I was privileged because I could
go back to everything I had learned but maybe didn't

(10:54):
learn during my education at Cleveland Clinic over the last
hundred years of the history. They set every day to
save lives and care for life. Right, So went back
and kind of was privileged to go back and get
re educated rather than just putting stents and heart attack patients,
which is fantastic and honorable. But even the first doctor

(11:19):
that the doctor that did the first bypass surgery, your.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
A five blaro Cleveland Clinic.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
Said athoscrosis is a disease, and I can do bypass surgery,
but I'm not treating a disease.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
And we know that because we do a bypass.

Speaker 5 (11:34):
And someone comes back with the stroke where they still
have a high blood pressure. They're all different faces of
the same internal inflammation. And Richard, I don't want to
bore your audience with oxidative stress at immune DIDST regulation,
but there's an internal flame that gets out of control,
and then it's manifests as chronic diseases, of which there's

(11:56):
all you a handful of, which obesity and overweight our
major issues.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
At about forty percent.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
Of Americans are overweight, and if you combine about three
out of four Americans are either overweight.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Or obese, about forty five percent or obese. And we'll
talk about what obesity means a little bit as we
go on. So, yeah, I have had to walk to talk.

Speaker 5 (12:23):
I've had to learn and go back and get enlightened
repeatedly and at many years doing that, Richard, and had
to kind of change my whole career focus, my whole
vocational focus, and get enlightened. Unfortunately, I had the resources
to go do that and save my own life as well.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
And then learn a better way to help people. Actually, and.

Speaker 5 (12:49):
You know, the way that I view life now is
to help people with their lifespan, with their lifespan, their
health span. Right, It's not just how long you live,
but you want to have a health of it.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
You want to be vigorous if you want to.

Speaker 5 (13:06):
Go out and you want to pick up your your
grandchildren or your kids or whatever whatever you want to do.
You want to be able to do that for as
long as possible and have a vibrant, exciting, happy life.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Right.

Speaker 5 (13:22):
So that's about and that's what we're going to talk
about today.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
How to do that.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
I'm glad you brought up to the fact that you
you had to re educate yourself on what OBESTI is
and specifically to you, how do you treat it? So
I noticed a sort of a pain with a broad brush.
But how do we re educate our medical community because
I think a lot of the people that are in
practice right now, you know, forgive me if i'm speaking here,

(13:49):
but it seems like a lot of people that are
in practice are dealing with the backian versus prevention. So
how do we turn that curve where we're educating our
middle professionals to focus on prevention versus treatment.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
Well that's a good point, and Richard, the way I
look at it, it's not just prevention, okay, it's also
about improving how we manage chronic disease, and furthermore, reverse it,
reverse it, reverse that ascrossis put diabetes and remission, get
rid of things that are driving these chronic diseases, and

(14:26):
turn chronic diseases around and turn lives around. But to
answer your question, I don't want to be derogatory or
negative at all.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
But you know, we're talking about.

Speaker 5 (14:42):
Things that have been going on for generations now, and
what we've developed since World War Two is a hammer nail. Okay,
everybody's in a hammer nail, and it neglects the biologic
differences between you, me and Russ and the thing that
are driving that and those faces of chronic disease.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
So we really have become very siloed.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
And I could talk all day about we have guys
that are into the brain thing, we have guys that
are into the GI microbiome. We have guys that are
in hypertension. But we've not been educated to listen to
what we've already learned since the nineteen forties.

Speaker 6 (15:26):
That.

Speaker 5 (15:28):
We are what we are in life every day and
how we feel and how we function, how long we.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
Live is.

Speaker 5 (15:39):
Due to how well our orchestra works. There're all pieces
in the symphony in our body, and we call it
systems biology, and it's all connected. Your gut is connected
to your brain. Your gut goes faster as your brain
than your brain goes to your gut.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
But all these things are so.

Speaker 5 (15:58):
Intimately related, and that determines who we are, Richard, and
how we feel and function every day.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
And I'm going to give.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
You some a group of common things that holds the
answer to how we can optimize that and optimize our
function and vibrance in life.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Terrific.

Speaker 7 (16:20):
Well, one of the things that you know, we really
really I'm sorry we probably didn't answer, but what we're
doing now is we have it's not just medicine. But
you can't give someone this in a fifteen minute office visit.
Doctors are really pounded now, you know.

Speaker 5 (16:41):
And again the medical schools are starting to implement this
a better education. But then as far as delivery, it's
not possible to deliver this in brief office visits, let
alone have and and a doctor may not have time
in her life to go back and relearn or gain

(17:02):
a more enlightened perspective now, but certainly they have an obligation,
I believe to provide access to a system that will
help them a patient learn that and put those things
into their daily life in a happy, joyous way. And
it's not about restricting or you can't eat this.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
It's about opening the.

Speaker 5 (17:26):
Abundance of life giving and life saving things that people
are not aware of. Unfortunately, we live in a society
today that things are upside down, right and inside out,
meaning that everything that is health.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
Adverse has been presented to us.

Speaker 5 (17:47):
Since the nineteen eighties and nineteen seventies and nineties, that's
been presented.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
To us as normal, and it's not normal.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
So things are upside down and backwards, and people have
been programmed like kids think Tony the Tiger is a
wonderful thing.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
With flags and sugar.

Speaker 5 (18:07):
Right, and again, I'll say thirty or forty years ago,
there were three hundred and fifty products in the grocery store.
Today there's thirty five thousand. But if you really look
at it, if you really look at it, ninety.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
Five percent of them are all the same thing. There're
feed oils will make it.

Speaker 5 (18:26):
Six things heavily priced ult what we call ultra processed food,
and we have definition for that.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
But a way to look at that.

Speaker 5 (18:35):
Would be if you take an apple and then you
compare it to getting the apple pie and McDonald's. There's
no correlation with the nutritional intention of the apple, But
yet people are buying that. Or you think about kids
are getting apple juice.

Speaker 8 (18:51):
Right right, Well, they're getting the balls to sugar and
IV sugar ballster instally goes up chronic insulin and then
for you years, you develop insulin resistance, which is a
precursor to it's chronic information and it's a precursor to
pre diabetes and diabetes at obesity and all those things.

Speaker 5 (19:13):
So what I'm trying to say is, but yet people
think I'm going to see my kid apple juice.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
It's a wonderful thing.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
It's not.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
You're hurting your kid.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
And there's so.

Speaker 5 (19:21):
Many things, but you think you're doing the right thing.
So our society has really misfled us, you know, and
it's economically driven by the four or five food companies
basically that we have in the world. And so we
really have to just help people get an awareness, but
more importantly than we have to show them the abundance

(19:43):
of things for their life that they don't know about.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Absolutely, that's a great point. That's where I was going
with the next question is that one of the things
that we really emphasize on this show and through all
of our content is that I like to use the
saying that your food is your medicine, and if you
don't focus on it that way, then your medicine will
become your food.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
Absolutely.

Speaker 5 (20:09):
And in fact, it's interesting, Richard, were some groups of medicine,
you know, the functional medicine people, which I'm one of them,
and I'm also American College of Lifestyle Medicine kind of person.
And so there's a big emphasis now to bring these

(20:29):
every day things that we do every day in our life,
you know, to bring these things into what becomes our habits,
our mindset, our emphasis. So we're trying to do this
and unfortunately, if we had all the leaders in our country.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
Because this is it's a global issue now, but if
we had all the people.

Speaker 5 (20:53):
In our country, all the leaders for health and business
together and make a stand, you know, it would make
a fast difference.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
For right now, it's going to depend on the individual.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Stay tuned for the Tackle Obesity Show. We'll be right back.

Speaker 9 (21:08):
For over seventy five years, the Marine Toys for Tots
program has provided toys and emotional support to economically disadvantaged children,
primarily during the holidays, but needs are not just seasonal,
and now neither is Toys for Tots. They've expanded their
outreach to support families in need all year long with
their new programs, including the Foster Care Initiative, giving toys

(21:32):
and tangible items for children to move with, inspiring hope
for a brighter future. The Native American Program has grown
to benefit over two hundred thousand children annually, providing toys
and books to participating reservations. And the Youth Ambassador Program,
a select group of our nation's youth children helping children

(21:53):
going above and beyond to raise peer awareness and encourage
local community support.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
On behalf of Toys for Tots.

To learn more about how you can help, visit Toys
Fortots dot org and help bring hope to a child's future.

Speaker 6 (22:10):
The NFL Alumni Tackle Obesity Program serves our members and
the public with free training on how to tackle our obesity.
We know most of America struggles with lifestyle and food
choices that result.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
In added weight.

Speaker 6 (22:24):
That weight impacts our wellness. Today, we have many options
to address this condition. Most importantly, as we adjust our
lifestyle and our food choices. The benefits to our wellness
are rapid. By learning new habits, we can prevent diabetes,
reduce heart disease risk, and enhance our overall well being.

(22:45):
By getting control of the food choices we make, along
with learning ways to avoid foods that damage our bodies,
we can tackle obesity. For more information, go to tackleobesity
dot com. Remember obesity is a condition, not a character flaw.
Go to tackleobesity dot com and join our team.

Speaker 5 (23:09):
Richard maybe and Russ Maybe I could just say a
couple of key things, like six pillars of health, go
for it.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
Okay. One is what we eat.

Speaker 5 (23:17):
And when we're talking about like I said, minimal to
no processed food, sugary beverages, gator A fruit, those they're
all actually toxins and poisons. And I don't want to
bore you with the biology, which I'm excited about. But
we talked about mitochondria liver disease. You don't know this,

(23:39):
maybe you do, but there's a thing called fatty liver
disease and it was first discovered in nineteen eighty.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Okay, this is unbelievable. And you know it was discovered
in kids.

Speaker 4 (23:49):
And I said, Wait a minute, you have alcoholic liver disease,
but you're eight years old.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
You're not drinking alcohol, are you?

Speaker 10 (23:55):
No?

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (23:56):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Will you have this thing called.

Speaker 5 (23:58):
Fatty liver disease which now you know affects like a
gigantic number of kids, a gigantic number of adults for.

Speaker 11 (24:07):
A long term.

Speaker 5 (24:08):
Uh, it's u silent disease. Doctors too often don't look
for it. It's negotiated with diabetes and has a lot
to do with what we eat, like fruit toasts and
sugar is glucose and fruit toase.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
Fruit TOAs goes.

Speaker 5 (24:23):
Right to your liver and starts poisoning your liver, okay,
and leads to chronic liver disease. What is the most
common cast of chronic liver disease? And it's becoming a
number one reason for liver transplants in the world now
in this incredible fatty liver disease, right, And it's all
associated with obesity and diabetes, inflammation, all this stuff.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
It's all in there together.

Speaker 5 (24:51):
And so when I see when you and I are
sitting on a park bench, Richard at hanging out in
Houston or Atlanta, I don't know. I just look around
and I see everybody with the big waste, thinking, God,
I got to have a talk with you because I
love you, right, And then on my waist gets big,
I say, oh God, what are you doing?

Speaker 4 (25:10):
And I can always find out?

Speaker 5 (25:12):
But so one is we call nutrition, But it is
what we eat, it's what we drink. We should be
drinking water. It is purified reverse osmosis. Green tea, Okay,
and I get green tea to decaffeinated and green tea
is really healthy, but in it decaffeinated a certain way

(25:32):
Swiss water method, not with all the toxic chemicals and
what we drank the water out plastics.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
This will scare you. It's a real thing, Okay.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
But a study came out a couple of months ago
where crodded artery surgery patients, right half of them, half
of them had plastic and the proded arteries.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
Wow, and the plastic and the.

Speaker 5 (25:56):
Prodid arteries predicted you're gonna die earlier.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
You're gonna do be sicker.

Speaker 5 (26:01):
Than the persone who already has a bed of course,
because they have crowded disease.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
It didn't have the plastic.

Speaker 5 (26:10):
So what I'm trying to say is what we put
on our skin, the water we drink.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
All this what we might wave things in.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
You wave your food and plastic, you're heating it up,
moving those molecules into the food you've got, right, plus
or ceramic cannot use plastic.

Speaker 4 (26:30):
Right, Glass all the time, and I packed everything in
glass on the refrigerator. Very important. I got a water filter,
I got this, I got that.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
But I'm not crazy. What I'm trying to say is
I used to.

Speaker 5 (26:42):
Think this was crazy stuff, but now I know the
biology of it, and I know the data. But the
other thing, Russ, thank you for pointing out it's not just.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
The food we're talking about. And the best food is
the food that.

Speaker 5 (26:56):
Doesn't have labels. It's hidden in the corner of the store, right.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
And we have to teach people crucier first vegetables. There's
a gazillion of them.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
You know, But any anyway, we have to teach people
and that there's an abundance of wonderful things out there,
abundance if we just let people know that and then
how to prepare it and what cooking oils to use
and not to use, like you know, like olive oil
is like improves your life. All these other the omega three.

(27:29):
But all the Omega six oils are very harmful to
your health. But also the packaging is what I wanted
to mention. The packaging is full of poisons and things
were called toxins and chemicals.

Speaker 12 (27:41):
So.

Speaker 6 (27:43):
You know.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
And again, eating at home with the community and all.

Speaker 5 (27:47):
That love also is all molecules of emotion and your biology. Okay,
and that also improves your health. And eating out is
a very treacherous road of you're gonna do.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
That a lot. Yeah, So that's a little bit on nutrition.

Speaker 13 (28:04):
And then I want to talk about I don't use
the word exercise, and I don't use the word diet ever,
because we're talking about dietary patterns, right, not dying it.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
Diets are not sustainable. They don't work. You can be
able to thousand diets. You have to get a healthy
dietary pattern and whatever we call it, if we call it,
it doesn't matter the Blue Zone diet or the Mediterranean
dietary pattern.

Speaker 5 (28:31):
It's all the same. They're all commonalities. What I told you, Okay,
there's no difference here. And but and then joyous movement
is the point. I don't like the word to use exercise. Yeah,
i'd like theorious movement and wherever you are if you
need to get off the couch, if you need to
go walking. And yeah, I have my warror ring. Okay,

(28:53):
that tells me heart rate variability. It tells me how
I'm doing. And if I wake up, it says, Greg,
You're gonna fe terrible today.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
It's right. But I like it Richard and Russ, because
it tells me how many the steps I walk a day,
and most importantly for me, by contrast with a lot
of the other things available, it tells me about heart
rate variability, which is a balance of my red battery
cable and my blue and my.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Black battery cable.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
We all our bodies run on two cables. And it's
called the automatic nervous system. And that's why my blood
vessels constrict when I stand up and I don't pass out,
and that's my heart rate, and my pupils get big
and small. I sweat or don't sweat. It's the two
cables in your body, the automatic nervous system, and it

(29:42):
impacts everything and we have to have that imbalance. And
then that's another thing, Vaguel tone we could talk about
and too much.

Speaker 4 (29:51):
We live in a life where we're in the room.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
With a lion.

Speaker 5 (29:57):
So our rocket fuel are app effort is going sky
high all the time, and that hurts our brain and
our body. It causes accelerating aging and premature death, heart
failure and other things. So we have to have a
balance to the vague tone, the rest and digest and
regenerative phase.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
And that's what my heart rate variability monitoring tells me.
The numbers aren't important.

Speaker 5 (30:24):
What's important is to trend over weeks and months anyway.
So joyous activity, we could talk about it all day,
but it's essential. It prolongs your life, and no physical
activity in itself will not get you healthy. It's fantastic,
and all these things are synergistic.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
But if you're eating.

Speaker 5 (30:44):
All the stuff that's not good for you that we
talked about, you can exercise all you.

Speaker 4 (30:49):
Want, it's not gonna matter. Now.

Speaker 5 (30:51):
The other thing I want to talk about is stress,
real fast stress is a physiologic thing, and whether you're
aware of it or not, and whether it's physical stress
or emotional stress, bad relationships, toxic relationships. This is all
biology pouring into you and forms of stress we're aware

(31:13):
of it or not. Not sleeping is a terrible form
of stress, stress, disrupture, metabolism and all the things we
talk about that are critical for life, your mitochondrial function,
this and that. So it's truly important that are we're
aware how to manage stress, is my point, and that

(31:35):
has to do with the balance in the autonomic nervous
system and things we can do to increase our vagal tone.
The other thing that's really critical that people don't get
is restorative sleep. One of the most important things for
health and obesity and everything else.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
And when you don't get the sleep that you need on.

Speaker 5 (31:55):
A routine basis, This is all biology, somebody's opinion on
the street, but it will.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
Make you eat.

Speaker 5 (32:03):
It changes all the hormones and nerves in your body,
It changes everything everything that you makes you who you are.
You can't do it effectively without restorative sleep.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
And we have a whole course on sleep. Breathing is important.
The other thing I wanted another pillar is social connection.

Speaker 5 (32:25):
And we know that we have an epidemic now isolation
in America.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Okay, people are on social media.

Speaker 4 (32:33):
Well we're on social media now, so don't count this, but.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
What hour a week?

Speaker 14 (32:40):
What hour?

Speaker 1 (32:42):
But this is this is a good thing, though, Doctor
because we're doing film study and we're breaking this now.
So don't think we're that way. Just think we're in
the locker room. Yeah, we're going through the excess and notes.
That's what we're doing exactly.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
I'm with you, guys. But the point I'm getting that
is social connection. Isolation is now been declared a major
public health crisis and also leads to chronic disease and
premature death.

Speaker 4 (33:06):
So all these things are real biological issues. Yes, Russ, I.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
Want to add hydration, and you mentioned a filter that
uses I have a Burky filter, so it uses a
stone to.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
Sandstone to filter the water.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
Yes, it eliminates ninety nine percent the toxins and so on,
costs nothing once you buy it last forever. I don't
have to throw away all those plastic bottles that held
my water in him and gotten hot and cold and
hot and cold. So whatever that plastic was shedding at

(33:44):
that time went into that water. Instead, I get it
from the tap which came from the reservoir through the filter.
It's about as healthy as you're going to get.

Speaker 5 (33:53):
Absolutely, and you know, Russ, to support that that, there
are systems that I think are wonderful. I'm going to
get one that I can put under the sink so
I can use Tapwitter again and get rid of the plastic.
I used to buy the glass bottles with the polagrino,
but that's difficult all that, so I'm going to go

(34:13):
with Tapwitter that I know has a good filter. The
problem I'm finding is I can't find a good filter
that I can count on to get all the plastics.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
And you have no idea.

Speaker 5 (34:23):
I will just share with your audience what's in drinking water.
There's everything from depic code and anti seizure medicines and
estrogens and poisons and plastics and forever chemicals, so you
really need and the best filter so far mechanism is
reversed osmosis. And I hate to say it, but well

(34:45):
there is one product of plastic bottled water. When I
had to do it, I go to that because it's
reversed osmosis. Whether they get it from a tap or
wherever they say they get it. Most of these spring
waters are nonsense from the perabs somewhere, but as.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
Long as they have reverse osmosis.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
And what is for our.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
Audience, what is reverse osmosis.

Speaker 5 (35:09):
It's just a mechanism by which they purify water. You know,
I don't think, Okay, yeah, it's.

Speaker 4 (35:16):
Just a mechanism by which they do it, just like
for mechanisms by which they decafinate things. But this Twitter
method is real and non chemical.

Speaker 5 (35:26):
But anyway, I will just and then I'm going to
just go through this briefly, but I'm going to say
social connection, okay.

Speaker 15 (35:36):
Community, love, spirituality, all these things are critical to who
you are biologically and how you are expressed every day
in life, and we all need that.

Speaker 5 (35:52):
And also it also has to do with again, when
I was growing up on my Italian relatives driving me crazy.

Speaker 4 (35:59):
Talking but the meal went forever and my cheeks got pissed.

Speaker 5 (36:03):
A thousand times.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
Actually, when we eat slower and we eat with intention.

Speaker 5 (36:12):
And we with community, everything physiologically and biologically is better.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
Is the point.

Speaker 5 (36:19):
It's not someone's opinion. This is all evidence based science.
And spirituality also makes a big difference in how we
feel and how we function and how long we live
a healthy life.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
The last thing I'll say is avoiding things that are risky.
And here's the question.

Speaker 5 (36:41):
This is the real challenge to educate people between health
promoting and health adverse because most of us don't know that, right.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
And there's so many things in our everyday life.

Speaker 5 (36:55):
I don't want to get carried away, all right, but
I'll just think about what I've gone through over the
last couple of years.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
It's not crazy stuff.

Speaker 5 (37:03):
My father was a fireman and a barber, so I
saw people die from house fires.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
Today they don't do that. What I mean is emerger responders.
Firefighters don't put out of fires today.

Speaker 5 (37:18):
What they do is they save lives with CPR and
healthcare issues.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
Right.

Speaker 5 (37:23):
But the point is, everybody has a bed, and most
people don't realize all the toxins and flame retardant stuff
that's in a bed. And then I'll realize they can
get an organic bed without all that stuff for less
expensive than they can get a toxic bed. But the
point is, Wow, the creating products that we use, or

(37:45):
the stuff that we put on our hair and our skin,
and all those things keep adding up over the lifetime.

Speaker 4 (37:55):
To cause.

Speaker 5 (37:58):
Over time, it's all these things that up to kind
of hurt your biology and hurt your metabolism, and all
these things then lead to high blood pressure, obesity, and
all these things are symptoms.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
They're not diseases.

Speaker 5 (38:11):
I know, Yeah, we want to call it a disease,
and it is. It's not an emotional thing that your
obeses are overweight. All these things are biologically mediated, is
what I'm trying to say.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Oh wait on my floor, eure obese.

Speaker 4 (38:25):
What's called it's one of the things contributing to obesity?

Speaker 5 (38:28):
And talking about you said briefly, I'll say, Okay, I
don't know if you guys know this, but more than
ten percent of diffidence are obese.

Speaker 4 (38:38):
Did you know that?

Speaker 5 (38:40):
And what I'm going to know, for example, when we're
talking about this stuff Richard and Russ that wow. A
study a couple of years years ago showed ambilical cord
the baby had two hundred and fifty toxins and chemicals.
Another study from UH people that did leading work years

(39:01):
ago showed you just took somebody walking down the street
in New York City and they had a lot of toxins.

Speaker 4 (39:06):
And we call them obeseogens carcinogens. But they are things
that are adverse to health. Is what point? So all
these things is what we have to teach people.

Speaker 5 (39:18):
And the last thing I'll say too about obesity is
that it reduces how long you live by about fifteen years,
guys by about fiften to fifteen years, and that incredible.
So again, this chronic disease epidemic, of which obesity, mental

(39:38):
health crisis, overweight and you know, and I've listened to
your shows, Richards are fantastic. You're hitting on all these
things is tremendous. Thank you and Rus your efforts are fantastic.

Speaker 16 (39:53):
But I think it's important that we really get to
what matters here, and it's not somebody's opinion, you know,
And we have so many opinions out there that unfortunately
aren't really based.

Speaker 5 (40:07):
On real life, on real things, on science, on evidence,
evidence based, right, So that's what we have to really
be careful of and be critical of before we go.

Speaker 4 (40:19):
And ask people to apply it to their lives.

Speaker 5 (40:21):
And that's why I'm trying to say, it's just like
six or seven pillars of health. And again, these chronic
diseases that we have are just a few, and they're
all different faces of the same. What we we have
medical terms for internal immune dysregulation and oxidata stress, and

(40:42):
that's what.

Speaker 4 (40:42):
We mean by chronic low grade inflammation.

Speaker 5 (40:45):
And now we know what feeds that, right, sort of
speak and we know how to stop that process, and
then we know how oftentimes we can repair the damaged.

Speaker 4 (40:56):
Metabolism from those things. And we're all here to do right.

Speaker 5 (41:01):
Absolutely, yeah, And Russ forgive me.

Speaker 4 (41:05):
I don't forgive me, Russ, I don't care.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
This is locker room talk, Doc. There's there's no forgivening
in the locker room. We notice teams that are successful
figure it out in the locker room. They figured it
out in the film room. We get on the whiteboard.
We don't have to agree sometimes, you know, we we
we get a little chippy, but we got we have
the same mission, we have the same mindset, work it out.

(41:29):
We're gonna work it out when we get on a field.

Speaker 4 (41:32):
And you know, Richard, I'm with you. And it's funny
how we've been influenced by a lot of the same people,
and you know, it's kind of interesting.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Again.

Speaker 5 (41:39):
The whole point here is if you look back in
your life at the people who have touched your life, okay, and.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
It's the same thing.

Speaker 5 (41:48):
They have influenced to our biology and who we are,
just like all the things that we eat and if
we're sedentary or have joyous movement in her life, and
uh yeah, those film rooms taught me a lot Richard
And uh absolutely.

Speaker 4 (42:07):
And yeah, yeah, very special moments. But I will share
this with you too. I had a problem one time Richard.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
Oh yeah, well I'll tell you. And okay, so.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
I'm on the offensive line. I do know where my
first step was on my right.

Speaker 17 (42:33):
Foot where backwards at Fords? And it should always be forward?
And when Joe wants me to do that. In high school,
I was on his first team.

Speaker 5 (42:46):
What a privilege, coach, Bobli And uh, you know what
about the point I'm getting at, it's once we teach
people the joy of doing the proper technique, then we
all facilitate succeeding. And I never missed a trap block

(43:07):
after I finally learned that.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Yeah, probably he.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
Probably got put on your butt less dimes do it?

Speaker 4 (43:18):
Yes, And that's the whole point. When you take that
little step.

Speaker 5 (43:20):
Now, if you're a five hundred pound you know, offensive guard,
maybe you can cheat and get away with that. From
a guy like me who had no talent, I had
no rub to cheat. So if I didn't do the
technique right, I'm.

Speaker 4 (43:34):
Not going to succeed.

Speaker 5 (43:35):
And that's not We're on the field at least you
were on the fields, just left out. Probably better off
not on the field, because I gotta tell you when
Joe Mowglia, Okay, he's a d nail at Coast of Carolina,
but he was at a.

Speaker 4 (43:54):
Fordum at Fordham Prep at Fordham University and his first
job he played.

Speaker 5 (44:00):
I did to two hundred and fifty six schools to
be a head coach out of college at high school.
Only one school took them. What a blessing. Archberr Academy
in Delaware, claimont Delaware.

Speaker 4 (44:09):
But and I know we still care about it. Russ.
Maybe you're better off not on the field.

Speaker 5 (44:15):
Why I say that because we had sticks and stones
and rocks and broken class and I know we hate
people to do that at night on our practice field,
no terf.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
But the point is all these.

Speaker 5 (44:29):
Are good lessons in life, and we're all here to
help people, but we have to do it in an
honest way. And we're really overwhelmed today, Like I've heard
Richard say, before you walk into the grocery store and
it's overwhelming, right, I could just all made to feeling
to us. And I know I've heard Richard and the

(44:49):
team talk about food labels, And I know this is
important to me, but like in the nineteen nineties, people
like doctor Stelli from Framing in Art Study and Dean Orangie,
a bunch of people.

Speaker 4 (45:04):
They fought to get any food labels on. They fought
for that for years. And now the food labels are
just inadequate. And I love.

Speaker 5 (45:14):
That a lot of the European countries now have colors, right,
and that's for food table and like one means WHOA,
You're in trouble, and another color means hey, good choice.

Speaker 4 (45:29):
You know, but I will tell people, you.

Speaker 5 (45:31):
Know, when you look at food labels, if there's more
in a couple ingredients on it, then you shouldn't be
eating it, right, And if you don't know the names
of it.

Speaker 4 (45:39):
And sugar has it as I last.

Speaker 5 (45:42):
Counted, I don't even know how many names it has,
but you know. And and that's another thing that is
roy dangerous is the amount of sugar that we get.
And again, sugar is glucose and fruit toast pumps up
for insulin, which is not good. And then fruittose, the

(46:03):
other part of sugar, goes right to your liver and
damage to your liver. And it's the major epidemic now,
you know.

Speaker 4 (46:10):
But the point is this is all positive.

Speaker 5 (46:13):
We can help so many people, and we need a program.
You need a way to help people learn this and
implement it.

Speaker 4 (46:20):
And you can't just do it and a brief visit.
It's got to be like a program over time. Like
we need unity, we need support.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
We didn't get here overnight, and we're not going to
lead this condition overnight. But it all starts with awareness
and it definitely starts with caring and searing. So that's
my call to action for all of you.

Speaker 4 (46:40):
Share this great and Richard, that's a great call to action.

Speaker 18 (46:44):
Absolutely, so God to tell if you would please, we
ask each of our guests to say, obesity is a
medical condition, not a character flaw.

Speaker 4 (46:55):
Please learn more.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
About it and watch my video on tackleobesit dot.

Speaker 4 (47:01):
I agree with that, Russ, Well, why don't you give it.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
A trot again?

Speaker 5 (47:06):
You know that I'm committed to tackle a b that's
you know that I'm committed to tackle and the fight
against diabetes.

Speaker 4 (47:14):
And it's a real thing. It's a real thing to me.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
Where are you gonna find out about that?

Speaker 4 (47:19):
Huh?

Speaker 3 (47:20):
Where are you going to find out about?

Speaker 12 (47:22):
More?

Speaker 5 (47:22):
More information yes and uh. Again, so I admire what
you guys do and yes, uh and again you notice
thing with you know, Russ, this thing with obesity is
a disease.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (47:37):
I could go on about that all day, and it's
been recognized as a disease for a long time. And
what we've tried to do here is talk about causes,
multiple causes, and as Richard said, cumulative over time. And
again this other word with co morbidities, we have to
get rid of that because these aren't co morbidities.

Speaker 4 (48:00):
They're different faces of all the same abnormal biology.

Speaker 5 (48:05):
Whether you call it obesity, hypertension, diabetes, they're all just
a few different fases of the same internal metabolic arrangement with.

Speaker 4 (48:17):
The same causes. Right.

Speaker 5 (48:19):
So again, when you're treating the whole person and you're
improving your biology, that's why if you treat one or
two of these things, then you're risk for all these
bid things that goes down dramatically. And again the point
is that it takes time.

Speaker 4 (48:41):
But I'll give you an example, high blood pressure.

Speaker 5 (48:43):
Right, if we apply just some of these things to
people with high blood pressure, we could dramatically de prescribe,
take away their need for multiple medications just with If
you want to call this a better lifestyle, if you
want to call this functional medicine, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 (49:03):
I call it good medicine. And now even beyond that,
it's good life. Right.

Speaker 5 (49:08):
But because you're again we call hypertension of disease, but
it's not a disease.

Speaker 4 (49:15):
It's a symptom of inflamed blood vessels.

Speaker 5 (49:19):
And so we have if we treat the whole person
everything eventually, and even if we treat high blood pressure
with or without drugs, even just a little bit of
improvement in that blood pressure a couple millimeters translates to
a dramatic reduction in stroke and other bad things. Right,

(49:40):
So one I'm going to say is small steps, and
small steps are really meaningful. And then eventually small steps
turn into gigantic leaps, and you're not going to make
an interception and run it back for seventy yards if.

Speaker 4 (49:57):
You haven't started with twenty yard sprints exactly.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
But this is this is all phenomenal information, and as
I mentioned this, this is this is a moment. So
make sure that you share this content, subscribe on all
of our social media platforms, subscribe to the podcast platforms,
and most importantly, don't don't keep it to yourself. We

(50:21):
have to share this information with air one, friends, family, coworkers,
loved ones, you name it. Geveryone involved. We all are
part of this team. If you're following any other influences
on social media, tag deilt to our content. We want
to share, We want to see different perspectives. We want
to invite everyone to be a part of this. This
is a movement and we need more members of the team.

(50:42):
We have an afformidable opponent. We have one heck with
squad that we're putting on a field against the battle obilicity.
We thank you so much to our teammate, doctor Greg Matillo.
You will see his page on the Tackle Obesity website
and all this information. You can see this content and
if you have anything that you missed, feel free to
go that's our YouTube channel and watch this video again.

(51:03):
The great Russ Allen, the we call him the Mountain
of Muscle, always a critical player in all this and
we think you to need today.

Speaker 4 (51:16):
Richard, Richard, I have to say this. I have to
screen this out.

Speaker 5 (51:23):
Okay, okay, There's always a way to help someone, There's
always a way to help ourselves and there's always a
way to help someone, and there's always a way to
help others, and it's small steps. Be encouraged, be enthusiastic.
There's always a way to get better.

Speaker 4 (51:43):
There's always a way to do it. And just have faith, have.

Speaker 5 (51:47):
A plan, have community, have support, have a trusted health guide,
health success guide, and you can do this.

Speaker 4 (51:57):
Small steps at a time lead to wonderful health and
a vibrant life and health span.

Speaker 5 (52:10):
So again I want to leave everyone with a note
of encouragement. You can write your own chapter. It doesn't
matter what age it is. You can write to be
the hero of your story.

Speaker 4 (52:23):
Here we go again.

Speaker 5 (52:24):
I want to thank both of you for the privilege
of joining.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
Two wonderful and handsome guys today. Spleder, Oh my god,
he's gonna stay alive. He's gonna keep rope all right. Well,
thank you both, Thank you so much for joining us.
There one again to check out tackle of BCA, duck

(52:47):
guys next week.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
Join us as we dive deep into the world of
health and wellness, bringing you expert insights inspiring stories and
actionable tips to tackle obesity.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
Head on.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
Stay tune every Saturday to the Tackle Obesity Show with
our host, Richard Walker, and together, let's tackle obesity.

Speaker 6 (53:09):
The NFL Alumni Tackle Obesity Program serves our members and
the public with free training on how to tackle our obesity.
We know most of America struggles with lifestyle and food
choices that result in added weight. That weight impacts our wellness. Today,
we have many options to address this condition. Most importantly,

(53:31):
as we adjust our lifestyle and our food choices, the
benefits to our wellness are rapid. By learning new habits,
we can prevent diabetes, reduce heart disease risk, and enhance
our overall well being. By getting control of the food
choices we make, along with learning ways to avoid foods
that damage our bodies, we can tackle obesity. For more information,
