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 3 (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 the 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
(01:07):
to overcome the tackle obesity epademic. I want to 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
(01:31):
one 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
(01:53):
gain 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
(02:16):
overall lack of activity from not having a structured environment,
not moving from class to class. They're parked in 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 gaated 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
(03:23):
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 all today.
One of them is our og, the man who has
(04:06):
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 B 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
(04:26):
am so so grateful to half of Here are we
doing today, Russ.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
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 fackling our obesity. You know, my story was
I lost fifty pounds, but before picture was literally in
front of the sign in Death.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Valley, so you could do it.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
After that, my wife lost seventy.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
So as a couple, we really took this on together
and it's really taking a new direction in my life.
And just like you, I had a transformative journey and
it really is such an honor.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
To be here, absolutely and it is a pleasure and honor. Guys,
bring out your no parents, drop questions in a chat.
If you have any email us doctor when we'll get
the questions to doctor Ntello to provide you answers. He
is a gurup in this vat 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 word 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 Gregentone's.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Thank you, Richard, and thank you Russ.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
It's been a pleasure to work with us.
Speaker 7 (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 you're helping is fantastic and it's a beautiful day,
and we should start out with some gratitude and know
why we're here. Have the mindset, and why we're here
(06:31):
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 a leading cause of disability, greatest reason for
(06:56):
healthcare spending, greater than ninety percent of health care spending,
and greatest.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Cause of premature death.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
And we're talking about things like stroke, heart attack, Alzheimer's dimension, dementia,
premature dementia, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
And actually all these things are a.
Speaker 7 (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 6 (07:36):
It's very doable.
Speaker 7 (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 4 (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 yeah, we'll leave it.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Let you go.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Well, Ross, I'll tell you when I was in my
early teenage.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
Years, I had diabetes.
Speaker 7 (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 5 (08:38):
You know, at age I don't know, eleven or twelve, and.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
I would d very overweight. I was obese, and my
mother just wouldn't have that.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
And my mother imposed on me.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
Her lifestyle habits having grown up on a farm, and
actually reversed my die 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 type one
diabetes about five percent of people, but overwhelmingly ninety five
(09:15):
percent of diabetes is type two.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
And uh and at the time we didn't know that.
That doctor said, oh, you're you're You're going to die
without insulin.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
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. But I lost the obesity. I
lost the diabetes for good pretty much, and uh, I'm
(09:45):
forever grateful for that.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
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 6 (09:53):
As a college football player versus later on as a
busy intervention.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Cardiology, carrying twinkies around in my pocket and drinking cokes
and not sleeping for years. The difference same, bm I.
But I'm going to show you the difference between health
and illness. And then and again in my adult.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Life, I uh.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Richard and Russ, I was, oh, there was something wrong
with me.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
And I had to go to one doctor after another,
and everybody said, Oh, you're just.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
Working too hard. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
You was just working too hard, and I said, no,
there's something wrong with me.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
And actually I was pretty sick. 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
(10:52):
I had learned but maybe didn't learn during my education
at the 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.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Attack patients, which is fantastic and honorable. But even the
first doctor that the doctor that did the first bypass surgery,
your A five.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Blaro Cleveland Clinic.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
Said athoscrosis is a disease, and I can do bypass surgery,
but I'm not treating a disease. And we know that
because we do a bypass and.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Someone comes back with the stroke where they still have
a high blood pressure.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
They're all different phases of the same internal inflammation.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
And Richard, I don't want.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
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
all you a handful of, which obesity and overweight our
major issues.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
At about forty percent of.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
Americans are overweight, and if you combine about three out
of four Americans are either overweight or obese, about forty
five percent or obese. And we'll talk about what obesity
means a little bit as.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
We go on. So, yeah, I have had to walk
to talk.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
I've had to learn and go back and get enlightened
repeatedly and at many years doing that, Richard, and had.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
To kind of change my whole career focus, my whole.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Vocational focus, and get enlightened.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Unfortunately, I had the resources.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
To go do that and save my own life as well,
and then learn a better way to help people.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Actually, and.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
You want to be vigorous. If you want to go.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Out and you want to pick up.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
Your your grandchildren or your kids or whatever whatever you
want to do.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
You want to be able to do that for as
long as possible and have a vibrant, exciting, happy life.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Right.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
So that's about and that's what we're going to talk
about today.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
How to do that.
Speaker 3 (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 you treat it. So I
noticed the sort of a pain with a broad brush. Well,
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 vacuian versus prevention. So
how do we turn that curve where we're educating our
middle professionals to focus on prevention versus treatment.
Speaker 7 (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. Astrossis 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, but you know, we're talking about things
that have been going on for generations now, and what
we've developed since World War Two is a hammer nail. Okay,
(14:50):
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.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Of chronic disease. So we really have become very siloed.
Speaker 7 (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 8 (15:26):
That.
Speaker 7 (15:28):
We are what we are in life every day and
how we feel and how we function, how long we
live is.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Due to how well our orchestra works.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
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.
But all these things are so intimately related, and that
determines who we are, Richard, and how we feel and
function every day.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
And I'm going to give you some a group of.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
Common things that holds the answer to how we can
optimize that and optimize our function and vibrance in life terrific.
Speaker 9 (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.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Doctors are really pounded now, you know.
Speaker 7 (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 6 (17:24):
It's about opening the.
Speaker 7 (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 adverse has been presented
to us since the nineteen eighties and nineteen seventies and nineties.
(17:52):
That's been presented to us as normal, and it's not normal.
So things are upside down and backwards, and people have
been programmed like kids think Tony the Tiger is a
wonderful thing with flags and sugar right and in again,
I'll say thirty or forty years ago, there were three
(18:13):
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 five percent of them.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Are all the same thing.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
There're feed oils will make it six things heavily priced
ult what we call ultra processed food, and we have
definition for that, but a way to look at that
would be if you take an apple and then you
compare it to getting the apple pie and McDonald's.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
There's no correlation with the nutritional intention.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Of the apple.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
But yet people are buying that. Or you think about
kids are getting.
Speaker 10 (18:50):
Apple juice right right, well, they're getting the balls to
sugar and IV sugar ballster instally goes up chronic insulin
and then for years you develop insulin resistance, which is.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
A precursor to it's chronic information and it's a precursor
to pre diabetes and diabetes at obesity and all those things.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
So what I'm trying to say is, but.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Yet people think I'm going to see my kid apple juice.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
It's a wonderful thing. It's not. You're hurting your kid.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
And there's so.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
Many things, but you think you're doing the right thing.
So our society has really misled 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 3 (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 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 6 (20:09):
Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
And in fact, it's interesting, Richardster.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
There are 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 every day
things that we do every day in our life, you know,
(20:34):
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, because
this is it's a global issue now, but if we
had all the people in our country, all the leaders
(20:54):
for health and business together and make a stand, you know,
it would make a fast difference.
Speaker 6 (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 11 (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.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Now neither is Toys for Tots.
Speaker 11 (21:23):
They've expanded their outreach to support families in need all
year long with their new programs, including the Foster Care Initiative,
giving toys 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
(21:47):
Ambassador Program, a select group of our nation's youth children
helping children going above and beyond to raise peer awareness
and encourage local community support.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
On behalf of Toy for Tots.
Speaker 11 (22:01):
To learn more about how you can help, visit Toys
Fortots dot org and help bring hope to a child's future.
Speaker 12 (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 in added weight. That weight impacts our wellness. Today,
we have many options to address this condition. Most importantly,
(22:31):
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,
(22:55):
go to tackleobesity dot com. Remember obesity is a medical condition,
not a character flaw. Go to tackleobesity dot com and
join our team.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
Richard maybe and Russ Maybe.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
I could just say a couple of key things, like
six pillars of health, go for it.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Okay. One is what we eat.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
You don't know this, maybe you do.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
But there's a thing called fatty liver disease and it
was first discovered in nineteen eighty. Okay, this is unbelievable,
and you know it was discovered in kids, And I said.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
Wait a minute, you have alcoholic liver disease. But you're
eight years old. You're not drinking.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Alcohol, are you?
Speaker 13 (23:55):
No?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Oh? Wow?
Speaker 6 (23:56):
Will you have this thing called.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Fatty liver disease which now you know affects like a
gigantic number of kids, a gigantic number of adults for
a long term. Uh, it's uh 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 6 (24:22):
Fruit TOAs goes.
Speaker 7 (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?
Speaker 5 (24:34):
And it's becoming a number one reason for liver transplants
in the world now in this incredible.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
Fatty liver disease right, And it's all associated with obesity
and diabetes, inflammation, all this stuff.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
It's all in there together.
Speaker 14 (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 6 (25:10):
And I can always find out? But so one is
we call nutrition.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
But it is what we eat, it's what we drink.
We should be drinking water. It's purified reverse osmosis. Green tea, Okay,
and I get green tea. It's decaffeinated, and green tea
is really healthy, but in it decaffeinated.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
A certain way Swiss water method.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Not with all the toxic chemicals and what we drank
the water out plastics. This will scare you. It's a
real thing, Okay. But a study came out a couple
of months ago where crodded artery surgery patients, right half
of them, half of them had.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Plastic and the proded arteries.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Wow, And the plastic and.
Speaker 10 (25:56):
The prodid arteries predicted you're gonna die earlier.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
You're gonna be sicker than the person who already has
a bed of course, because they have crowded disease.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
It didn't have the plastic.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
So what I'm trying to say is what we put
on our skin, the water we drink.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
All this what we might wave things in.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
You wave your food and plastic, you're heating it up,
moving those molecules into the food.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
You've got, right, LUs or ceramic cannot use plastic.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
Right, Glass all the time, and I packed everything in
glass on the refrigerator.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
Very important.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
I got a water filter, I got this, I got that.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
But I'm not crazy.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
What I'm trying to say is I used to think
this was crazy stuff, but now I know.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
The biology of it, and I know the data.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
But the other thing, Russ, thank you for pointing out
it's not just the food we're talking about. And the
best food is the food that doesn't have labels.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
It's hidden in the corner of the grocery store, right.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
And we have to teach people crucifers, vegetables, there's.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
A gazillion of them, you know.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
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, but
(27:30):
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.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
Chemicals, so.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
You know.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
And again, eating at home with the community and.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
All 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 that a lot.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
Yeah, So that's a little bit on nutrition.
Speaker 5 (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 6 (28:16):
Diets are not sustainable. They don't work. You can be
able to as a diets.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
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. 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
(28:42):
is the point.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
I don't like the word to use exercise.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
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 warr ring. Okay,
that tells me heart rate variability. It tells me how
I'm doing, and if I wake up, it says, Greg,
you're gonna feel terrible today.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
It's right.
Speaker 7 (29:02):
But I like it Richard and Russ, because it tells
me how many 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.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
Battery cable and my blue and my black battery cable.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
We aught our bodies run on two cables, and it's
called the automatic nervous system.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
And that's why my blood vessels constrict when I stand
up and I don't pass out.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
And that's my heart rate, and my pupils get big
and small.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
I sweat or don't sweat. It's the two cables in your.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
Body, the automatic nervous system, and it impacts everything and
we have to have that imbalance. And then that's another thing,
Vaguel Tone we could talk about, and too much we
live in a life.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Where we're in the room.
Speaker 7 (29:55):
With a lion, So our rocket fuel are ap Neffroe
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 5 (30:18):
And that's what my heart rate variability monitoring tells me.
The numbers aren't important.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
What's important is to trend over weeks and months anyway.
So joyous activity, we could talk about it all day.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
But it's essential.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
It prolongs your life, and no physical activity in itself
will not get you healthy. It's fantastic, and all these
things are synergistic, but if you're eating all the stuff
that's not good for you that we talked about, you
can exercise.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
All you want, it's not gonna matter.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Now.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Bad relationships, toxic relationships.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
This is all biology.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
Pouring into you and forms of stress we're aware 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.
Speaker 6 (31:26):
So it's truly important.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
That are we're aware how to manage stress, is my point,
and that has to do with the balance in the
autonomic nervous system and.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Things we can do to increase our vagal tone.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
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 6 (31:51):
And when you don't get the sleep that you need on.
Speaker 7 (31:55):
A routine basis, This is all biology, somebody's opinion on
the street, but it will.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
Make you eat.
Speaker 7 (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 6 (32:16):
And we have a whole.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Course on sleep. Breathing is important. The other thing I
wanted another pillar.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Is social connection.
Speaker 10 (32:25):
And we know that we have an epidemic now isolation
in America.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
Okay, people are on social media. Well we're on social
media now, so don't count this, But what hour a week?
One hour?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Well, 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 6 (32:54):
I'm with you, guys.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
But the point I'm getting that of social connection isolation
is now been declared a major public health crisis and
also leads to chronic disease and premature death. So all
these things are real biological issues.
Speaker 6 (33:08):
Yes, Russ, I.
Speaker 4 (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 6 (33:21):
Sandstone to filter the water.
Speaker 4 (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.
Speaker 15 (33:36):
Bottles that held my water in him and gotten hot
and cold and hot and cold. So whatever that plastic
was shedding at 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 7 (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 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 6 (34:22):
And you have no idea.
Speaker 7 (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 that 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
long as they have reverse osmosis, and what is for our.
Speaker 15 (35:06):
Audience, what is reverse osmosis.
Speaker 7 (35:09):
It's just a mechanism by which they purify water, you know,
I don't think, Okay, yeah, it's 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.
Speaker 7 (35:32):
Going to say social connection, okay, 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. And also it also has to do
(35:54):
with again, when I was growing up on my Italian
relatives driving me crazy.
Speaker 6 (35:59):
Talking what the meal went forever and my cheeks got
pissed a thousand times.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
Actually, when we eat slower and we eat with intention.
Speaker 7 (36:12):
And we with community, everything physiologically and biologically is better.
Is the point. 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 6 (36:34):
The last thing I'll say is avoiding things that are risky.
And here's the question.
Speaker 7 (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,
and there's so many things in our everyday life. I
don't want to get carried away, all right, but I'll
just think about what I've gone through we were over
the last couple of years.
Speaker 6 (37:01):
It's not crazy stuff.
Speaker 7 (37:03):
My father was a fireman and a barber, so I
saw people die from house fires.
Speaker 6 (37:09):
Today they don't do that. What I mean is emerger responders.
Speaker 7 (37:15):
Firefighters don't put out of fires today. What they do
is they save lives with CPR and healthcare issues.
Speaker 6 (37:22):
Right.
Speaker 7 (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, creating products that we use, or the
(37:45):
stuff that we put on our hair and our skin,
and all those things keep adding up over the lifetime.
Speaker 6 (37:55):
To cause.
Speaker 7 (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 6 (38:10):
They're not diseases.
Speaker 7 (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 6 (38:22):
Oh wait on my floor, eure obese.
Speaker 5 (38:25):
It's called it's one of the things contributing to obesity.
Speaker 7 (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 6 (38:38):
Did you know that?
Speaker 7 (38:40):
And what we know for example, when we're talking about
this stuff Richard and Russ that.
Speaker 6 (38:47):
Wow, a study.
Speaker 7 (38:49):
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 ago,
I showed you just took somebody walking down the street
in New York City and they had a lot of toxins.
And we call them obesogens carcinogens. But they are things
(39:10):
that are adverse to health, is what point. So all
these things is what we have to teach people. And
the last thing I'll say too about obesity is that
it reduces how long you live by about fifteen years, guys.
Speaker 5 (39:27):
By about fiften to fifteen years, and that incredible.
Speaker 7 (39:32):
So again, this chronic disease epidemic, of which obesity, mental
health crisis, overweight and you know, and I've listened to
your shows, Richards are fantastic.
Speaker 5 (39:47):
You're hitting on all these things is tremendous. Thank you
and Rus your efforts are fantastic.
Speaker 7 (39:53):
But I think it's important that we really get 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 on real life, on real things, on science,
on evidence evident based, right, So that's what we have
(40:14):
to really be careful of and be critical of before
we go and ask people to apply it to their lives.
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 have medical
(40:36):
terms for internal immune dsregulation and oxidata stress, and that's what.
Speaker 6 (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.
Speaker 7 (40:50):
How to stop that process, and then we know how
oftentimes we can repair the damaged metabolism from those things.
We're all here to do right, absolutely, Yeah, And Russ
forgive me.
Speaker 6 (41:05):
I don't forgive me, Russ, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
This is locker room talk, Doc, There's there's no forgiving
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.
(41:30):
We're gonna work it out when we get on a field.
Speaker 6 (41:32):
And you know, Richard, I'm with you.
Speaker 7 (41:33):
And it's funny how we've been influenced by a lot
of the same people.
Speaker 6 (41:36):
And you know, it's kind of interesting. Again.
Speaker 7 (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 6 (41:46):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 7 (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 our life and
uh yeah, those film rooms taught me a lot Richard,
And uh absolutely and yeah, yeah, very special moments.
Speaker 6 (42:11):
But I will share this with you too.
Speaker 5 (42:13):
I had a problem one time Richard.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
Oh yeah, well I'll tell you.
Speaker 6 (42:19):
And okay, so I'm on the offensive line.
Speaker 5 (42:30):
I do know where my first step was on my right.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
Foot where backwards at Fords?
Speaker 6 (42:38):
And it should always be forward?
Speaker 7 (42:41):
And when Joe wanted me to do that in high school,
I was on his first team. 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.
Speaker 5 (43:05):
And I never missed a trap block after I finally
learned that.
Speaker 6 (43:10):
Away.
Speaker 16 (43:12):
Yeah probably he probably got put on your butt less
dimes do it?
Speaker 5 (43:18):
Yes, And that's the whole point when you take that
little step.
Speaker 7 (43:21):
Now, if you're a five hundred pounds you know, offensive guard,
maybe you can cheat and get away with that.
Speaker 5 (43:27):
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 not.
Speaker 6 (43:34):
Going to succeed. And that's not We're all the field.
Speaker 15 (43:39):
At least you were on the fields, just left out.
Speaker 7 (43:44):
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.
Speaker 6 (43:54):
At a fordum at Fordham Prep at Fordham University and
his first job he play.
Speaker 7 (44:00):
I did two hundred and fifty six schools to be
a head coach out of college at high school.
Speaker 5 (44:04):
Only one school took them. What a blessing.
Speaker 7 (44:06):
Archberr Academy in Delaware, claimont Delaware.
Speaker 6 (44:09):
But and I know we still care about it.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
Russ.
Speaker 6 (44:14):
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 6 (44:27):
But the point is all.
Speaker 7 (44:28):
These are good lessons in life, and we're all here
to help people, but we have to do it in
an honest way.
Speaker 6 (44:35):
And we're really overwhelmed today, Like I've.
Speaker 7 (44:38):
Heard Richard say, before you walk into the grocery store,
and it's overwhelming, right, I could just made to feeling
to us. And I know I've heard Richard and the
team talk about food labels. And I know this is
important to me, but like in the nineteen nineties, people
(44:58):
like doctor Castelli from Framing in Art Study and Dean Orange,
a bunch of people.
Speaker 5 (45:04):
They fought to get any food labels on.
Speaker 6 (45:07):
They fought for that for years. And now the food
labels are just inadequate. And I love.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 6 (45:26):
Color means hey, good choice. You know, but I will
tell people, you.
Speaker 7 (45:32):
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 6 (45:39):
And sugar has it as I last.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 6 (45:52):
And again, sugar is glucose and fruit toast pumps up
for insulin, which is not good.
Speaker 7 (45:59):
And then fruittose, the other part of sugar, goes right
to your liver and damage to your liver. And it's
the major epidemic now, you know.
Speaker 5 (46:10):
But the point is this is all positive.
Speaker 7 (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 6 (46:20):
And you can't just do it and a brief visit.
Speaker 7 (46:23):
It's got to be like a program over time.
Speaker 5 (46:26):
Like we need unity, we need support.
Speaker 3 (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 6 (46:40):
Share this great and Richard, that's a great call to action.
Speaker 16 (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 about it and watch my video on
tackleobesity dot.
Speaker 5 (47:01):
I agree with that, Russ, Well, why don't you give
it a try.
Speaker 6 (47:06):
Again.
Speaker 5 (47:06):
You know that I'm committed to tackle a b that's good.
Speaker 6 (47:09):
You know that I'm committed to tackle and the fight
against diabetes. And it's a real thing. It's a real
thing to me. Where are you gonna find out about that? Huh?
Where are you going to find out about?
Speaker 8 (47:22):
More?
Speaker 6 (47:22):
More information? Yes, and Uh.
Speaker 7 (47:25):
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 3 (47:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (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. They're
(48:00):
different faces of all the same abnormal biology. Whether you
call it obesity, hypertension, diabetes, they're all just a few
different fases of the same internal metabolic arrangement with the
same causes.
Speaker 6 (48:18):
Right.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 6 (48:37):
And again the point is that it takes time.
Speaker 7 (48:41):
But I'll give you an example, high blood pressure. 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 6 (49:03):
I call it good medicine. And now even beyond that,
it's good life. Right.
Speaker 7 (49:08):
But because you're again, we call hypertension of disease, but
it's not a disease. It's a symptom of inflamed blood vessels.
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
(49:31):
improvement in that blood pressure a couple of millimeters translates
to a dramatic reduction its stroke and other bad things.
Speaker 6 (49:40):
Right, So one I'm going to say is.
Speaker 7 (49:42):
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 you haven't started with twenty yard sprints exactly.
Speaker 3 (50:00):
But this is this is all phenomenal information, and as
I mentioned this, this is this is a moment. So

We have an afformidable opponent. We have one heck with
squad that we're putting on a field against the Battleblicity.
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 bets our YouTube channel and watch this video again.
(51:03):
The great Russ Allen, the we call him the Mountain Muscle,
always a critical player in all this and we think
you to need today.
Speaker 6 (51:16):
Richard, Richard, I have to say this. I have to
screen this out. Okay, okay.
Speaker 7 (51:24):
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. There's always a way to
(51:45):
do it. And just have faith, have a plan, have community,
have support, have a trusted health guide, health success guide,
and you can do this. Small steps at a time
lead a wonderful health and a vibrant life and.
Speaker 6 (52:07):
Health span.
Speaker 7 (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 6 (52:23):
There we go again.

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 6 (53:22):
In added weight.
Speaker 12 (53:23):
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.
(53:45):
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

The schedule to take a crew Dragon capsule to the station,
launched atop a Falcon nine rocket. The capsule normally carries
four people, but two will be left behind so that
two NASA astronauts currently stranded on the station can be
brought back to Earth when the mission ends in February.
But Wellmore and Sunny Williams arrived at the ISS in
June aboard the Boeing Starliner for what was supposed to
(57:27):

Research shows sloppiness is genetic pre tennis, with details on
levels of mess and who you can blame.
Speaker 21 (57:42):
The mess gene has been identified as HOXB eight. That
gene helps us stay clean and organized, and about sixty
percent of us fall into the area of managing the mess.
Maybe some piles of stuff, but you know where it is.
But then there's the flat out slab with mess everywhere.
Experts say it's not better, but it is one step
away from hoarding. But scientifically, some people are just more
(58:04):
predisposed to be messier than others. Personality trait you can
blame on your parents. I'm pre tennis.

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 3 (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 the 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
(01:07):
to overcome the tackle obesity epademic. I want to 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
(01:31):
one 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
(01:53):
gain 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
(02:16):
overall lack of activity from not having a structured environment,
not moving from class to class. They're parked in 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 gaated 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
(03:23):
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 all today.
One of them is our og, the man who has
(04:06):
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 B 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
(04:26):
am so so grateful to half of Here are we
doing today, Russ.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
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 fackling our obesity. You know, my story was
I lost fifty pounds, but before picture was literally in
front of the sign in Death.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Valley, so you could do it.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
After that, my wife lost seventy.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
So as a couple, we really took this on together
and it's really taking a new direction in my life.
And just like you, I had a transformative journey and
it really is such an honor.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
To be here, absolutely and it is a pleasure and honor. Guys,
bring out your no parents, drop questions in a chat.
If you have any email us doctor when we'll get
the questions to doctor Ntello to provide you answers. He
is a gurup in this vat 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 word 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 Gregentone's.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Thank you, Richard, and thank you Russ.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
It's been a pleasure to work with us.
Speaker 7 (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 you're helping is fantastic and it's a beautiful day,
and we should start out with some gratitude and know
why we're here. Have the mindset, and why we're here
(06:31):
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 a leading cause of disability, greatest reason for
(06:56):
healthcare spending, greater than ninety percent of health care spending,
and greatest.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Cause of premature death.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
And we're talking about things like stroke, heart attack, Alzheimer's dimension, dementia,
premature dementia, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
And actually all these things are a.
Speaker 7 (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 6 (07:36):
It's very doable.
Speaker 7 (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 4 (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 yeah, we'll leave it.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Let you go.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Well, Ross, I'll tell you when I was in my
early teenage.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
Years, I had diabetes.
Speaker 7 (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 5 (08:38):
You know, at age I don't know, eleven or twelve, and.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
I would d very overweight. I was obese, and my
mother just wouldn't have that.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
And my mother imposed on me.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
Her lifestyle habits having grown up on a farm, and
actually reversed my die 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 type one
diabetes about five percent of people, but overwhelmingly ninety five
(09:15):
percent of diabetes is type two.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
And uh and at the time we didn't know that.
That doctor said, oh, you're you're You're going to die
without insulin.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
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. But I lost the obesity. I
lost the diabetes for good pretty much, and uh, I'm
(09:45):
forever grateful for that.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
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 6 (09:53):
As a college football player versus later on as a
busy intervention.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Cardiology, carrying twinkies around in my pocket and drinking cokes
and not sleeping for years. The difference same, bm I.
But I'm going to show you the difference between health
and illness. And then and again in my adult.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Life, I uh.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Richard and Russ, I was, oh, there was something wrong
with me.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
And I had to go to one doctor after another,
and everybody said, Oh, you're just.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
Working too hard. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
You was just working too hard, and I said, no,
there's something wrong with me.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
And actually I was pretty sick. 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
(10:52):
I had learned but maybe didn't learn during my education
at the 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.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Attack patients, which is fantastic and honorable. But even the
first doctor that the doctor that did the first bypass surgery,
your A five.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Blaro Cleveland Clinic.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
Said athoscrosis is a disease, and I can do bypass surgery,
but I'm not treating a disease. And we know that
because we do a bypass and.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Someone comes back with the stroke where they still have
a high blood pressure.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
They're all different phases of the same internal inflammation.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
And Richard, I don't want.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
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
all you a handful of, which obesity and overweight our
major issues.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
At about forty percent of.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
Americans are overweight, and if you combine about three out
of four Americans are either overweight or obese, about forty
five percent or obese. And we'll talk about what obesity
means a little bit as.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
We go on. So, yeah, I have had to walk
to talk.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
I've had to learn and go back and get enlightened
repeatedly and at many years doing that, Richard, and had.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
To kind of change my whole career focus, my whole.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Vocational focus, and get enlightened.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Unfortunately, I had the resources.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
To go do that and save my own life as well,
and then learn a better way to help people.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Actually, and.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
You want to be vigorous. If you want to go.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Out and you want to pick up.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
Your your grandchildren or your kids or whatever whatever you
want to do.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
You want to be able to do that for as
long as possible and have a vibrant, exciting, happy life.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Right.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
So that's about and that's what we're going to talk
about today.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
How to do that.
Speaker 3 (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 you treat it. So I
noticed the sort of a pain with a broad brush. Well,
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 vacuian versus prevention. So
how do we turn that curve where we're educating our
middle professionals to focus on prevention versus treatment.
Speaker 7 (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. Astrossis 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, but you know, we're talking about things
that have been going on for generations now, and what
we've developed since World War Two is a hammer nail. Okay,
(14:50):
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.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Of chronic disease. So we really have become very siloed.
Speaker 7 (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 8 (15:26):
That.
Speaker 7 (15:28):
We are what we are in life every day and
how we feel and how we function, how long we
live is.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Due to how well our orchestra works.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
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.
But all these things are so intimately related, and that
determines who we are, Richard, and how we feel and
function every day.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
And I'm going to give you some a group of.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
Common things that holds the answer to how we can
optimize that and optimize our function and vibrance in life terrific.
Speaker 9 (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.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Doctors are really pounded now, you know.
Speaker 7 (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 6 (17:24):
It's about opening the.
Speaker 7 (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 adverse has been presented
to us since the nineteen eighties and nineteen seventies and nineties.
(17:52):
That's been presented to us as normal, and it's not normal.
So things are upside down and backwards, and people have
been programmed like kids think Tony the Tiger is a
wonderful thing with flags and sugar right and in again,
I'll say thirty or forty years ago, there were three
(18:13):
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 five percent of them.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Are all the same thing.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
There're feed oils will make it six things heavily priced
ult what we call ultra processed food, and we have
definition for that, but a way to look at that
would be if you take an apple and then you
compare it to getting the apple pie and McDonald's.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
There's no correlation with the nutritional intention.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Of the apple.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
But yet people are buying that. Or you think about
kids are getting.
Speaker 10 (18:50):
Apple juice right right, well, they're getting the balls to
sugar and IV sugar ballster instally goes up chronic insulin
and then for years you develop insulin resistance, which is.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
A precursor to it's chronic information and it's a precursor
to pre diabetes and diabetes at obesity and all those things.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
So what I'm trying to say is, but.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Yet people think I'm going to see my kid apple juice.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
It's a wonderful thing. It's not. You're hurting your kid.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
And there's so.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
Many things, but you think you're doing the right thing.
So our society has really misled 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 3 (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 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 6 (20:09):
Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
And in fact, it's interesting, Richardster.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
There are 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 every day
things that we do every day in our life, you know,
(20:34):
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, because
this is it's a global issue now, but if we
had all the people in our country, all the leaders
(20:54):
for health and business together and make a stand, you know,
it would make a fast difference.
Speaker 6 (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 12 (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 in added weight. That weight impacts our wellness. Today,
we have many options to address this condition. Most importantly,
(22:31):
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,
(22:55):
go to tackleobesity dot com. Remember obesity is a medical condition,
not a character flaw. Go to tackleobesity dot com and
join our team.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
Richard maybe and Russ Maybe.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
I could just say a couple of key things, like
six pillars of health, go for it.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Okay. One is what we eat.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
You don't know this, maybe you do.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
But there's a thing called fatty liver disease and it
was first discovered in nineteen eighty. Okay, this is unbelievable,
and you know it was discovered in kids, And I said.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
Wait a minute, you have alcoholic liver disease. But you're
eight years old. You're not drinking.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Alcohol, are you?
Speaker 13 (23:55):
No?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Oh? Wow?
Speaker 6 (23:56):
Will you have this thing called.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Fatty liver disease which now you know affects like a
gigantic number of kids, a gigantic number of adults for
a long term. Uh, it's uh 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 6 (24:22):
Fruit TOAs goes.
Speaker 7 (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?
Speaker 5 (24:34):
And it's becoming a number one reason for liver transplants
in the world now in this incredible.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
Fatty liver disease right, And it's all associated with obesity
and diabetes, inflammation, all this stuff.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
It's all in there together.
Speaker 14 (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 6 (25:10):
And I can always find out? But so one is
we call nutrition.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
But it is what we eat, it's what we drink.
We should be drinking water. It's purified reverse osmosis. Green tea, Okay,
and I get green tea. It's decaffeinated, and green tea
is really healthy, but in it decaffeinated.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
A certain way Swiss water method.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Not with all the toxic chemicals and what we drank
the water out plastics. This will scare you. It's a
real thing, Okay. But a study came out a couple
of months ago where crodded artery surgery patients, right half
of them, half of them had.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Plastic and the proded arteries.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Wow, And the plastic and.
Speaker 10 (25:56):
The prodid arteries predicted you're gonna die earlier.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
You're gonna be sicker than the person who already has
a bed of course, because they have crowded disease.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
It didn't have the plastic.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
So what I'm trying to say is what we put
on our skin, the water we drink.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
All this what we might wave things in.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
You wave your food and plastic, you're heating it up,
moving those molecules into the food.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
You've got, right, LUs or ceramic cannot use plastic.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
Right, Glass all the time, and I packed everything in
glass on the refrigerator.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
Very important.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
I got a water filter, I got this, I got that.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
But I'm not crazy.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
What I'm trying to say is I used to think
this was crazy stuff, but now I know.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
The biology of it, and I know the data.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
But the other thing, Russ, thank you for pointing out
it's not just the food we're talking about. And the
best food is the food that doesn't have labels.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
It's hidden in the corner of the grocery store, right.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
And we have to teach people crucifers, vegetables, there's.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
A gazillion of them, you know.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
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, but
(27:30):
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.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
Chemicals, so.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
You know.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
And again, eating at home with the community and.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
All 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 that a lot.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
Yeah, So that's a little bit on nutrition.
Speaker 5 (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 6 (28:16):
Diets are not sustainable. They don't work. You can be
able to as a diets.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
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. 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
(28:42):
is the point.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
I don't like the word to use exercise.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
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 warr ring. Okay,
that tells me heart rate variability. It tells me how
I'm doing, and if I wake up, it says, Greg,
you're gonna feel terrible today.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
It's right.
Speaker 7 (29:02):
But I like it Richard and Russ, because it tells
me how many 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.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
Battery cable and my blue and my black battery cable.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
We aught our bodies run on two cables, and it's
called the automatic nervous system.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
And that's why my blood vessels constrict when I stand
up and I don't pass out.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
And that's my heart rate, and my pupils get big
and small.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
I sweat or don't sweat. It's the two cables in your.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
Body, the automatic nervous system, and it impacts everything and
we have to have that imbalance. And then that's another thing,
Vaguel Tone we could talk about, and too much we
live in a life.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Where we're in the room.
Speaker 7 (29:55):
With a lion, So our rocket fuel are ap Neffroe
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 5 (30:18):
And that's what my heart rate variability monitoring tells me.
The numbers aren't important.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
What's important is to trend over weeks and months anyway.
So joyous activity, we could talk about it all day.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
But it's essential.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
It prolongs your life, and no physical activity in itself
will not get you healthy. It's fantastic, and all these
things are synergistic, but if you're eating all the stuff
that's not good for you that we talked about, you
can exercise.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
All you want, it's not gonna matter.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Now.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Bad relationships, toxic relationships.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
This is all biology.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
Pouring into you and forms of stress we're aware 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.
Speaker 6 (31:26):
So it's truly important.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
That are we're aware how to manage stress, is my point,
and that has to do with the balance in the
autonomic nervous system and.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Things we can do to increase our vagal tone.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
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 6 (31:51):
And when you don't get the sleep that you need on.
Speaker 7 (31:55):
A routine basis, This is all biology, somebody's opinion on
the street, but it will.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
Make you eat.
Speaker 7 (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 6 (32:16):
And we have a whole.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Course on sleep. Breathing is important. The other thing I
wanted another pillar.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Is social connection.
Speaker 10 (32:25):
And we know that we have an epidemic now isolation
in America.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
Okay, people are on social media. Well we're on social
media now, so don't count this, But what hour a week?
One hour?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Well, 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 6 (32:54):
I'm with you, guys.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
But the point I'm getting that of social connection isolation
is now been declared a major public health crisis and
also leads to chronic disease and premature death. So all
these things are real biological issues.
Speaker 6 (33:08):
Yes, Russ, I.
Speaker 4 (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 6 (33:21):
Sandstone to filter the water.
Speaker 4 (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.
Speaker 15 (33:36):
Bottles that held my water in him and gotten hot
and cold and hot and cold. So whatever that plastic
was shedding at 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 7 (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 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 6 (34:22):
And you have no idea.
Speaker 7 (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 that 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
long as they have reverse osmosis, and what is for our.
Speaker 15 (35:06):
Audience, what is reverse osmosis.
Speaker 7 (35:09):
It's just a mechanism by which they purify water, you know,
I don't think, Okay, yeah, it's 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.
Speaker 7 (35:32):
Going to say social connection, okay, 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. And also it also has to do
(35:54):
with again, when I was growing up on my Italian
relatives driving me crazy.
Speaker 6 (35:59):
Talking what the meal went forever and my cheeks got
pissed a thousand times.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
Actually, when we eat slower and we eat with intention.
Speaker 7 (36:12):
And we with community, everything physiologically and biologically is better.
Is the point. 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 6 (36:34):
The last thing I'll say is avoiding things that are risky.
And here's the question.
Speaker 7 (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,
and there's so many things in our everyday life. I
don't want to get carried away, all right, but I'll
just think about what I've gone through we were over
the last couple of years.
Speaker 6 (37:01):
It's not crazy stuff.
Speaker 7 (37:03):
My father was a fireman and a barber, so I
saw people die from house fires.
Speaker 6 (37:09):
Today they don't do that. What I mean is emerger responders.
Speaker 7 (37:15):
Firefighters don't put out of fires today. What they do
is they save lives with CPR and healthcare issues.
Speaker 6 (37:22):
Right.
Speaker 7 (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, creating products that we use, or the
(37:45):
stuff that we put on our hair and our skin,
and all those things keep adding up over the lifetime.
Speaker 6 (37:55):
To cause.
Speaker 7 (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 6 (38:10):
They're not diseases.
Speaker 7 (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 6 (38:22):
Oh wait on my floor, eure obese.
Speaker 5 (38:25):
It's called it's one of the things contributing to obesity.
Speaker 7 (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 6 (38:38):
Did you know that?
Speaker 7 (38:40):
And what we know for example, when we're talking about
this stuff Richard and Russ that.
Speaker 6 (38:47):
Wow, a study.
Speaker 7 (38:49):
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 ago,
I showed you just took somebody walking down the street
in New York City and they had a lot of toxins.
And we call them obesogens carcinogens. But they are things
(39:10):
that are adverse to health, is what point. So all
these things is what we have to teach people. And
the last thing I'll say too about obesity is that
it reduces how long you live by about fifteen years, guys.
Speaker 5 (39:27):
By about fiften to fifteen years, and that incredible.
Speaker 7 (39:32):
So again, this chronic disease epidemic, of which obesity, mental
health crisis, overweight and you know, and I've listened to
your shows, Richards are fantastic.
Speaker 5 (39:47):
You're hitting on all these things is tremendous. Thank you
and Rus your efforts are fantastic.
Speaker 7 (39:53):
But I think it's important that we really get 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 on real life, on real things, on science,
on evidence evident based, right, So that's what we have
(40:14):
to really be careful of and be critical of before
we go and ask people to apply it to their lives.
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 have medical
(40:36):
terms for internal immune dsregulation and oxidata stress, and that's what.
Speaker 6 (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.
Speaker 7 (40:50):
How to stop that process, and then we know how
oftentimes we can repair the damaged metabolism from those things.
We're all here to do right, absolutely, Yeah, And Russ
forgive me.
Speaker 6 (41:05):
I don't forgive me, Russ, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
This is locker room talk, Doc, There's there's no forgiving
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.
(41:30):
We're gonna work it out when we get on a field.
Speaker 6 (41:32):
And you know, Richard, I'm with you.
Speaker 7 (41:33):
And it's funny how we've been influenced by a lot
of the same people.
Speaker 6 (41:36):
And you know, it's kind of interesting. Again.
Speaker 7 (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 6 (41:46):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 7 (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 our life and
uh yeah, those film rooms taught me a lot Richard,
And uh absolutely and yeah, yeah, very special moments.
Speaker 6 (42:11):
But I will share this with you too.
Speaker 5 (42:13):
I had a problem one time Richard.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
Oh yeah, well I'll tell you.
Speaker 6 (42:19):
And okay, so I'm on the offensive line.
Speaker 5 (42:30):
I do know where my first step was on my right.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
Foot where backwards at Fords?
Speaker 6 (42:38):
And it should always be forward?
Speaker 7 (42:41):
And when Joe wanted me to do that in high school,
I was on his first team. 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.
Speaker 5 (43:05):
And I never missed a trap block after I finally
learned that.
Speaker 6 (43:10):
Away.
Speaker 16 (43:12):
Yeah probably he probably got put on your butt less
dimes do it?
Speaker 5 (43:18):
Yes, And that's the whole point when you take that
little step.
Speaker 7 (43:21):
Now, if you're a five hundred pounds you know, offensive guard,
maybe you can cheat and get away with that.
Speaker 5 (43:27):
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 not.
Speaker 6 (43:34):
Going to succeed. And that's not We're all the field.
Speaker 15 (43:39):
At least you were on the fields, just left out.
Speaker 7 (43:44):
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.
Speaker 6 (43:54):
At a fordum at Fordham Prep at Fordham University and
his first job he play.
Speaker 7 (44:00):
I did two hundred and fifty six schools to be
a head coach out of college at high school.
Speaker 5 (44:04):
Only one school took them. What a blessing.
Speaker 7 (44:06):
Archberr Academy in Delaware, claimont Delaware.
Speaker 6 (44:09):
But and I know we still care about it.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
Russ.
Speaker 6 (44:14):
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 6 (44:27):
But the point is all.
Speaker 7 (44:28):
These are good lessons in life, and we're all here
to help people, but we have to do it in
an honest way.
Speaker 6 (44:35):
And we're really overwhelmed today, Like I've.
Speaker 7 (44:38):
Heard Richard say, before you walk into the grocery store,
and it's overwhelming, right, I could just made to feeling
to us. And I know I've heard Richard and the
team talk about food labels. And I know this is
important to me, but like in the nineteen nineties, people
(44:58):
like doctor Castelli from Framing in Art Study and Dean Orange,
a bunch of people.
Speaker 5 (45:04):
They fought to get any food labels on.
Speaker 6 (45:07):
They fought for that for years. And now the food
labels are just inadequate. And I love.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 6 (45:26):
Color means hey, good choice. You know, but I will
tell people, you.
Speaker 7 (45:32):
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 6 (45:39):
And sugar has it as I last.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 6 (45:52):
And again, sugar is glucose and fruit toast pumps up
for insulin, which is not good.
Speaker 7 (45:59):
And then fruittose, the other part of sugar, goes right
to your liver and damage to your liver. And it's
the major epidemic now, you know.
Speaker 5 (46:10):
But the point is this is all positive.
Speaker 7 (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 6 (46:20):
And you can't just do it and a brief visit.
Speaker 7 (46:23):
It's got to be like a program over time.
Speaker 5 (46:26):
Like we need unity, we need support.
Speaker 3 (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 6 (46:40):
Share this great and Richard, that's a great call to action.
Speaker 16 (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 about it and watch my video on
tackleobesity dot.
Speaker 5 (47:01):
I agree with that, Russ, Well, why don't you give
it a try.
Speaker 6 (47:06):
Again.
Speaker 5 (47:06):
You know that I'm committed to tackle a b that's good.
Speaker 6 (47:09):
You know that I'm committed to tackle and the fight
against diabetes. And it's a real thing. It's a real
thing to me. Where are you gonna find out about that? Huh?
Where are you going to find out about?
Speaker 8 (47:22):
More?
Speaker 6 (47:22):
More information? Yes, and Uh.
Speaker 7 (47:25):
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 3 (47:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (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. They're
(48:00):
different faces of all the same abnormal biology. Whether you
call it obesity, hypertension, diabetes, they're all just a few
different fases of the same internal metabolic arrangement with the
same causes.
Speaker 6 (48:18):
Right.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 6 (48:37):
And again the point is that it takes time.
Speaker 7 (48:41):
But I'll give you an example, high blood pressure. 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 6 (49:03):
I call it good medicine. And now even beyond that,
it's good life. Right.
Speaker 7 (49:08):
But because you're again, we call hypertension of disease, but
it's not a disease. It's a symptom of inflamed blood vessels.
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
(49:31):
improvement in that blood pressure a couple of millimeters translates
to a dramatic reduction its stroke and other bad things.
Speaker 6 (49:40):
Right, So one I'm going to say is.
Speaker 7 (49:42):
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 you haven't started with twenty yard sprints exactly.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
