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 like, share, subscribe, tackle obcity 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 of diains obesity, have
them joined us, Tag them on social media, courage them
to go to Tackle Obesity website sign up for That's
what we're here for because we know that tackle obesity
is a medical condition, it is not a character flaw,
and we are working to get it as a team
(01:08):
to overcome the tackle obesity epidemic.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I want us talk.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
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 bodies. What about the children, And
one of the things that gets overlooked is the fact
(01:34):
that during the summer this is a pitfall for obesity
in our children. In a recent study by the National
Institute of Biotechnology Information and the National Library of Medicine,
it shows that during the summer months, children tend to
gain weight on a thirty percent higher clip during the
(01:57):
summer months than they do during school year. Primary factors
include the fact that there's less activity. Some of the
children are not getting out and playing. In the South,
we have the issue of you know, possible heat exhaustion
due to extreme temperatures, and then there's just a general
overall lack of activity from not having a structured environment,
(02:19):
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.
We are addicted to processed foods, and having more access
(02:43):
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
to twenty seventeen gained average of twelve pounds during the
(03:07):
summer months. That's a significant amount of weight, twelve pounds
on average that they gained.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
During the summer months.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
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 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, Attackling bcdt House.
(03:35):
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
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 buds. Now
(03:55):
that we have talked about that issue, I want to
focus on our two amazing teammates that I brought a
law today. One of them is our og, the man
who has been there from day one, mister Russ Allen.
He is the director of the NFL Alumni Wellness Program.
He is the brain shout of the Tackle of Bcity program.
(04:17):
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'm
so so grateful to half of Here are we doing today.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Russ Richard, I'm doing fantastic And so he's so great
to see you and be able to share the things
we're learning about fackling our obesity.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
You know, my story was I lost fifty pounds, but
before picture was literally in front of the sign in Death.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Valley, so you could do it.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
After that, my wife lost seventy.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
So as a couple, we really took this on together
and it's really taken a new direction in my life.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
And just like you, I had.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
A transformative journey and it really is such an honor
to be.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
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 with answers.
He is a gurup in this vatt against obesity from
(05:25):
the 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.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
He is a trusted medical professional in this business, has
been dealing with 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 the word because now you're our teammate.
We're no longer going to call you a gift. You're
(06:03):
now teaving a new teammate, Doctor Gregentille.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Thank you Richard, and thank you Russ. It's been a
pleasure to work with us.
Speaker 8 (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
(06:32):
is to improve.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Well, actually, we're here.
Speaker 8 (06:36):
Not just to prevent and not just to better manage,
but to reverse chronic disease and writing it out. We're
flooded with an epidemic of chronic disease in our country.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
And what that means is it's a leading cause.
Speaker 8 (06:51):
Of disability, greatest reason for healthcare spending, greater than ninety
percent of health care spending.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
And greatest cause of premature death.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
And we're talking about things like stroke, heart attack, Alzheimer's dimension, dementia,
premature dementia, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease. And actually all
these things are a symptom of the flame that's out
of control inside us from the exposures we have all
(07:26):
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.
It's very doable. It's just oftentimes we're not aware of
things and that the NFL alumni are legends, models for society,
(07:47):
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 do to help ourselves and help other people.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
And that's what we're going to go through today.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
Doctor Natello, 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 5 (08:13):
Let you go.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
Well, Ross, I'll tell you when I was in my
early teenage years, I had diabetes 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,
(08:36):
here's insulin. You know at age I don't know, eleven
or twelve, and.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
I would drovery overweight. I was obese, and my mother
just wouldn't have that. And my mother imposed on me.
Speaker 8 (08:53):
Her lifestyle habits having grown up on a farm, and
actually reversed my diabetes. 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. 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 insulince. 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
(09:38):
in my life.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
But I lost the obesity.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
I lost the diabetes for good pretty much, and uh,
I'm forever grateful for that. And I'll show you that
as we go on. And I'm just going to show
a few slides, but I'll show you as a college
football player versus later on as a busy intervention cardiology,
carrying twinkies around in my pocket and drinking cokes and
(10:04):
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 life, I uh,
Richard and Russ, I was, oh, there was something wrong
with me, and I had to go to one doctor
after another, and everybody said, Oh, you're just working too hard.
(10:27):
Don't worry about it. You was just working too hard,
and I said, no, there's something wrong with me. 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.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
And then I was privileged because I.
Speaker 8 (10:51):
Could go back to everything I had learned but maybe
didn't learn during my education at the Cleveland Clinic over
the last.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Years of the history.
Speaker 8 (11:01):
They set every day to save lives and care for life, right,
So I went.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Back and kind of was privileged to.
Speaker 8 (11:08):
Go back and get re educated rather than just putting
stents and heart attack patients, which is fantastic and honorable.
But even the first doctor that the doctor that did
the first bypass surgery, your a fi Blaaro Cleveland Clinic,
said athoscrosis is a disease, and I can do bypass surgery,
(11:30):
but I'm not treating a disease.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
And we know that because we do a bypass.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
And someone comes back with the stroke where they still
have a high blood pressure. They're all different faces of
the same internal inflammation. And Richard, I don't want to
bore your audience with oxidative stress at immune dust regulation,
but there's an internal flame that gets out of control,
and then it's manifests as chronic diseases, of which there's
(11:57):
all a handful of which obesity and overweight our major issues.
At about forty percent of 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
(12:18):
we go on.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
So, yeah, I have had to walk to talk.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
I've had to learn and go back and get enlightened
repeatedly and at many years doing that, Richard, and had
to kind of change my whole career focus, my whole
vocational focus, and get enlightened.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Unfortunately, I had the resources.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
To go do that and save my own life as well,
and then learn a better way to help people.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Actually, and.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
You know, the way that I view life now is
to help people with their lifespan, with their lifespan their
health span. Right, it's not just how long you live,
but you want to have a health of me. You
want to be vigorous if you want to go out
and you want to pick up your ut, your grandchildren
(13:11):
or your kids or whatever.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Whatever you want to do.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
You want to be able to do that for as
long as possible and have a vibrant.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Exciting, happy life.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Right.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
So that's what work about, and that's what we're going
to talk about today.
Speaker 5 (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 a sort of a pain with a broad brush.
But how do we re educate our medical community because
I think a lot of the people that are in
practice right now, you know, forgive me if I'm miss
(13:49):
speaking here, but it seems like a lot of people
that are in practice are dealing with the vacuum versus prevention.
So how do we turn that curve where we're educating
our meal professionals to focus on prevention versus treatment.
Speaker 8 (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, or scrossis put diabetes and remission,
get rid of things that are driving these chronic diseases,
(14:26):
and turn chronic diseases around.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
And turn lives around.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
But to answer your question, I don't want to be
derogatory or negative at all.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
But you know, we're talking about things that have been.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
Going on for generations now, and what we've developed since
World War Two is a hammernail. Okay, everybody's in a
hammer nail, and it neglects the biologic differences between you,
me and Russ and IT that are driving that and
those faces of chronic disease. So we really have become
(15:05):
very siloed. 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.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
We have guys that are in hypertension. But we've not
been educated.
Speaker 8 (15:18):
To listen to what we've already learned since the nineteen
forties that we are what we are in life every
day and how we feel and how we function, how
long we live is.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Due to how well, our orchestra works.
Speaker 8 (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.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
To your gut.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
But all these things are so intimately related, and that
determines who we are, Richard, and how we feel and
function every day.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
And I'm going to give you some a group of.
Speaker 8 (16:08):
Common things that holds the answer to how we can
optimize that and optimize our function and vibrance in life.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Terrific.
Speaker 9 (16:20):
Well, one of the things that you know, we really
really sorry we probably didn't answer. But what we're doing
now is we have it's not just medicine.
Speaker 8 (16:32):
But you can't give someone this in a fifteen minute
office visit. Doctors are really pounded now, you know. And
again the medical schools are starting to implement this a
better education.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
But then as far as.
Speaker 8 (16:48):
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 a more enlightened perspective now, but certainly they have
an obligation. I believe to provide access to a system
(17:13):
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.
It's about opening the abundance of life giving and life
saving things.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
That people are not aware of.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
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.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
That's been presented to us as normal, and it's not normal.
So things are.
Speaker 8 (17:57):
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 again, I'll say thirty or
forty years ago, there were three hundred and fifty products
in the grocery store. Today there's thirty five thousand. But
(18:17):
if you really look at it, if you really look
at it, ninety five percent of them are all the
same thing. There're feed oils, Mega 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
(18:38):
compare it to getting the apple pie and McDonald's. There's
no correlation with the nutritional intention of the apple, But
yet people are buying that.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Or you think about kids are getting apple juice right right.
Speaker 10 (18:54):
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 the precursor to.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
It's chronic inflammation, and it's a precursor to pre diabetes
and diabetes at obesity and all those things. So what
I'm trying to say is, but yet people think I'm
going to see my kid apple juice.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
It's a wonderful thing. It's not.
Speaker 8 (19:19):
You're hurting your kid, and there's so many things, but
you think you're doing the right thing.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
So our society has really misled us, you know.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
And it's economically driven by the four or five food
companies basically that we have.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
In the world.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
And so we really have to just help people get
an awareness, but more importantly than we have to show
them the abundance 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 like to use the saying
that your food is your medicine, and if you don't
focus on it that way, then your medicine will become
your food.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Absolutely. And in fact, it's interesting, Richardster, were some groups.
Speaker 8 (20:14):
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 everyday things that we do every
day in our life, you know, to bring these things
(20:36):
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 for health and
business together and make a stand, you know, it would
(20:59):
make a fair difference.
Speaker 5 (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 ceazel
and now neither is Toys for Tots. They've expanded their
outreach to support families in need all year long with
their new programs, including the Foster Care Initiative, giving toys
(21:32):
and tangible items for children to move with, inspiring hope
for a brighter future. The Native American Program has grown
to benefit over two hundred thousand children annually, providing toys
and books to participating reservations. And the Youth Ambassador Program,
a select group of our nation's youth children helping children
(21:53):
going above and beyond to raise peer awareness and encourage
local community support.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
On behalf of Toys for Tots.

To learn more about how you can help, visit toysftots
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 8 (23:09):
Richard, Maybe in RUSS maybe I could just say a
couple of key things, like six killers of health, go
for it.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Okay. One is what we eat.
Speaker 8 (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 5 (23:38):
You don't know this, maybe you do, but.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
There's a thing called fatty liver disease and it was
first discovered in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 10 (23:45):
Okay, this is unbelievable, and you know it was discovered
in kids, and I said, wait a minute, you have
alcoholic liver disease.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
But you're eight years old.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
You're not drinking alcohol, are you?
Speaker 13 (23:55):
No?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Oh? Wow?
Speaker 14 (23:57):
Will you have this thing called fatty liver disease which
now you know affects like a gigantic number of kids,
a gigantic number of adults for a long term.
Speaker 8 (24:08):
Uh, it's 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 5 (24:22):
Fruit toase goes right.
Speaker 8 (24:24):
To your liver and starts poisoning your liver, okay, and
leads to chronic liver disease. What is the most common
cast of chronic liver disease? And it's becoming a number
one reason for liver transplants in the world now in
this incredible fatty liver disease right, And it's all associated
with obesity and diabetes, inflammation, all this stuff.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
It's all in there together.
Speaker 8 (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.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
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.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
Are you doing? And I can always find out?
Speaker 8 (25:12):
But so one is we call nutrition, but it is
what we eat, it's what we drink.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
We should be drinking water. It is purified reverse osmosis.
Speaker 8 (25:22):
Green tea, okay, and I get green tea to decaffeinated
and green tea is really healthy, but in a ste
caffeinated a certain way Swiss water method, 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
(25:43):
a study came out a couple of months ago where
prodded artery surgery patients, right, half of them, half of
them had plastic, and the prodded arteries.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Wow, and the.
Speaker 10 (25:55):
Plastic and the prodid arteries predicted you're gonna die earlier.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
You're gonna to be sicker.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
Than the person who already has a bed of course,
because they have crowded disease but didn't have the plastic.
So what I'm trying to say is what we put
on our skin, the water we drink, all this what
we might.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Wave things in.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
You wave your food and plastic, you're heating it up,
moving those molecules into the food you've got, right, Cluss
or ceramic cannot use plastic.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Right, Glass all the time.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
And I packed everything in glass down a refrigerator. Very important.
I got a water filter, I got this, I got that.
But I'm not crazy. What I'm trying to say is
I used to think this was crazy stuff, but now
I know the biology of it, and I know the data.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
But the other thing, Russ, thank you for pointing out.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
It's not just the food we're talking about. And the
best food is the food that doesn't have labels. It's
hidden in the corner of the grocery store, right.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
And we have to teach people crucifers, vegetables. There's a
gazillion of them, you.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
Know, But any anyway, we have to teach people and
that there's an abundance of wonderful things out there, abundance
if we just let people know that and then how
to prepare it and what cooking oils to use and
not to use, like you know, like olive oil, is
like improves your life. All these other the Omega three,
(27:30):
but all the Omega six oils are very harmful to
your health. But also the packaging is what I wanted
to mention. The packaging is full of poisons and things
were called toxins and chemicals, so.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
You know.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
And again eating at home with the community and.
Speaker 8 (27:47):
All that love also is all molecules of emotion and
your biology.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Okay, and that also improves your health. And eating out
is a very treacherous road if you're gonna do that
a lot. Yeah. So that's a little bit on nutrition.
Speaker 8 (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 5 (28:16):
Diets are not sustainable.
Speaker 8 (28:18):
They don't work. You can be able to a thousand diets.
You have to get a healthy dietary pattern and whatever
we call it, if we call it, it doesn't matter
the Blue Zone diet or the Mediterranean dietary pattern, 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 I don't like the word to use exerciy. Yeah,
I'd like the chorious 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.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Okay, that tells me heart rate variability.
Speaker 8 (28:56):
It tells me how I'm doing, and if I wake up,
it says, Greg, You're gonna feel terrible today.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
It's right.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
But I like it Richard and Russ, because it tells
me how many steps I walk aday and most importantly
for me, by contrast with a lot of the other
things available, it tells me about heart rate variability, which
is a balance of my red battery cable and my
blue and my black battery cable. We aught our bodies
(29:23):
run on two cables, and it's called the automatic nervous system.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
And that's why my blood.
Speaker 8 (29:29):
Vessels constrict when I stand up and I don't pass out,
and that's my heart rate, and my pupils get big
and small, I sweat or don't sweat.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
It's the two cables in your.
Speaker 8 (29:40):
Body, the automatic nervous system, and it impacts everything and
we have to have that imbalance.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
And then that's another thing, Vaguel tone. We could talk
about and too much.
Speaker 8 (29:52):
We live in a life where we're in the room
with a lion, so our rocket fuel are at the
nephron 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
(30:14):
rest and digest and regenerative phase. And that's what my
heart rate variability monitoring tells me.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
The numbers aren't important.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
What's important is to trend over weeks and months anyway.
So joyous activity, we could talk about it all day,
but it's essential.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
It prolongs your life.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
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 all you want,
it's not gonna matter.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Now.
Speaker 8 (30:51):
The other thing I want to talk about is stress,
real fast stress is a physiologic thing, and whether you're
aware of it or not, and whether it's physical stress
or emotional stress, bad relationships, toxic relationships.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
This is all biology.
Speaker 8 (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 5 (31:26):
So it's truly important.
Speaker 8 (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 things we can do to increase
our vagal tone. The other thing that's really critical that
people don't get is restorative sleep. One of the most
important things for health and obesity and everything else. And
(31:52):
when you don't get the sleep that you need on
a routine basis, This is all biology, somebody's opinion on
the street, but it will make you eat. It changes
all the hormones and nerves in your body. It changes
everything everything that you makes you who you are. You
(32:12):
can't do it effectively without restorative sleep. And we have
a whole course on sleep. Breathing is important. The other
thing I wanted another pillar is social connection.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
And we know that we have an epidemic now isolation
in America. Okay, people are on social media. Well we're
on social media now, so don't count this.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
But whatever are we what hour? Well, but this is
this is a good thing, though, doctor, because we're doing
film study and we're breaking this down. So don't think
we're that way. You just think we're in locker and roll. Yeah,
we're going through the exs and notes. That's what we're
doing exactly.
Speaker 8 (32:54):
I'm with you, guys. But the point I'm getting that
is social connection. Isolation is now been declared a major
public health crisis and also leads to chronic disease and
premature death.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
So all these things are real biological issues.
Speaker 6 (33:08):
Yes, Russ, I want to add hydration, and you mentioned
a filter that uses I have a Burkey filter, so
it uses a stone to.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Sandstone to filter the water.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
Yes, it eliminates ninety nine percent of the toxins and
so on.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
Costs nothing once you buy it last forever. I don't
have to throw away all those plastic bottles that held
my water in him and gotten hot and cold and
hot and cold. So whatever that plastic was shedding at
that time went into that water.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
Instead, I get it.
Speaker 7 (33:47):
From the tap which came from the reservoir through the filter.
It's about as healthy as you're going to get.
Speaker 8 (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 pellogrino,
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 5 (34:22):
And you have no idea.
Speaker 8 (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.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
I go to that because it's reversed osmosis.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
Whether they get it from a tap or wherever they
say they get it, most of these spring waters are
nonsense from their paths somewhere.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
But as long as they have reverse osmosis.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
And what is for our audience when is reverse osmosis.
Speaker 8 (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.
Speaker 8 (35:29):
Will just and then I'm going to just go through
this briefly, but I'm 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
(35:50):
we all need that. And also it also has to
do with again, when I was growing up on my
Italian relatives driving me crazy talking what the meal with
forever and my chinks got.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Pissed a thousand times.
Speaker 8 (36:06):
Actually, when we eat slower and we eat with intention
and we with community, everything physiologically and biologically is better.
Speaker 5 (36:18):
Is the point.
Speaker 8 (36:19):
It's not someone's opinion. This is all evidence based science.
And spirituality also makes a big difference in how we
feel and how we function and how long we live
a healthy life.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
The last thing I'll say is avoiding things that are risky.
Speaker 8 (36:39):
And here's the question, 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.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
I don't want to get.
Speaker 8 (36:56):
Carried away, all right, but I'll just think about what
I've gone through over the last couple of years.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
It's not crazy stuff.
Speaker 8 (37:03):
My father was a fireman and a barber, so I
saw people die from house fires. Today they don't do that.
What I mean is emerger responders. Firefighters don't put out
of fires today. What they do is they save lives
with CPR and healthcare issues.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
Right.
Speaker 8 (37:24):
But the point is, everybody has a bed, and most
people don't realize all the toxins and flame retardant stuff
that's in a bed. And then I'll realize they can
get an organic bed without all that stuff for less
expensive than they can get a toxic bed. But the
point is, Wow, the creating products that we use, or
(37:45):
the stuff that we put.
Speaker 5 (37:46):
On our hair and our skin, and all those.
Speaker 8 (37:50):
Things keep adding up over the lifetime.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
To cause.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
Over time, it's all these 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. They're not diseases. I know, yeah,
we want to call it a disease, and it is.
It's not an emotional thing that your obeses are overweight.
(38:18):
All these things are biologically mediated, is what I'm trying
to say. Oh wait, but my floor eu obese, what's
called it's one of the things contributing to obesity. And
talking about you said briefly, I'll say, Okay, I don't
know if you guys know this, but.
Speaker 5 (38:36):
More than ten percent of diffidens are obese. Did you
know that?
Speaker 8 (38:40):
And what we know for example, when we're talking about
this stuff Richard and Russ that wow, a study a
couple of years years ago showed ambilical cord the baby
had two hundred and fifty oxins and chemicals. Another study
from UH people that did leading work years ago showed
(39:02):
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 there are things that
are adverse to health, is what point. So all these things.
Speaker 5 (39:14):
Is what we have to teach people.
Speaker 8 (39:18):
And the last thing I'll say too about obesity is
that it reduces how long you live by about fifteen years,
guys by.
Speaker 5 (39:28):
About fiften to fifteen years. And that incredible.
Speaker 8 (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.
Speaker 8 (39:50):
Thank you and Russ your efforts are fantastic. But I
think it's important that we really get what matters here,
and it's not somebody's opinion, you know, And we had
so many opinions out there that unfortunately aren't really based
on real life, on real things, on science, on evidence
(40:11):
evident based, right. So that's what we have 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 are
(40:33):
all different phases of the same. What we we have
medical terms for internal immune dysregulation and oxidata stress, and
that's what we mean by chronic low grade inflammation and
now we know what feeds that, right sort of speak,
and we know how to stop that process, and then
we know how oftentimes we can repair the damaged metabolism
(40:58):
from those things. And what we're all here to do, right, absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 5 (41:04):
And rush forgive me. I don't forget 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 figure it
out in the film room. We get on the whiteboard.
We don't have to agree. Sometimes, you know, we get
a little chippy, but we got we have the same mission,
we have the same mindset. Work it out. We're gonna
(41:30):
work it out when we get all the field.
Speaker 8 (41:32):
And you know, Richard, I'm with you. And it's funny
how we've been influenced by a lot of.
Speaker 5 (41:36):
The same people. And you know, it's kind of interesting. Again.
Speaker 8 (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 5 (41:46):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 8 (41:49):
They have influenced to our biology and who we are,
just like all the things that we eat and 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 5 (42:12):
But I will share this with you too. I had
a problem one time Richard.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
Oh yeah, well I'll tell you.
Speaker 5 (42:20):
And okay, so I'm on the offensive line. I did
you know where my first step was? On my right foot?
Speaker 3 (42:34):
Where backwards?
Speaker 5 (42:36):
At Fords? And it should always be forward?
Speaker 8 (42:41):
And when Joe wanted me to do that in high school,
I was on his first team. What a privilege, Coach
Boglia And uh, you know what about the point I'm
getting at, it's once we teach people the joy of
doing the proper technique, then we all facilitate succeeding. And
(43:05):
I never missed a trap block after I finally learned that.
Speaker 5 (43:10):
Away.
Speaker 7 (43:11):
Okay, yeah, probably probably got put on your butt less dimes.
Speaker 8 (43:15):
Do it?
Speaker 5 (43:18):
Yes, And that's the whole point. When you take that
little step.
Speaker 8 (43:21):
Now, if you're a five hundred pounds you know, offensive guard, maybe.
Speaker 5 (43:25):
You can cheat and get away with that from a
guy like me who had no talent, I had no
ruby cheat.
Speaker 8 (43:32):
So if I didn't do the technique right, I'm not
going to succeed, and that's not we're.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
All the field.
Speaker 7 (43:39):
At least you were on the fields, just left out.
Speaker 8 (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 5 (43:54):
At a fordum at Fordham Prep at for him.
Speaker 8 (43:57):
University and his first job's to 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. Archberr Academy
in Delaware, claim my Delaware.
Speaker 8 (44:10):
But uh, and I know we still care about it.
Speaker 5 (44:13):
Russ. Maybe you're better off not on the field.
Speaker 8 (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 turf to spare.
Speaker 5 (44:27):
But the point is all these are.
Speaker 8 (44:29):
Good lessons in life, and we're all here to help people,
but we have to do it in an honest way.
And we're really overwhelmed today, Like I've heard Richard say,
before you walk into the grocery store and it's overwhelming, right,
I could just all made to feeling to us, And
I know I've heard Richard and the team talk about food.
Speaker 5 (44:51):
Labels, and I know this is important to me.
Speaker 8 (44:56):
But like in the nineteen nineties, people like doctor Castelli
from Framing in Art Study and dean Orage, a bunch
of people.
Speaker 5 (45:05):
They fought to get any food labels on. They fought
for that for years. And now the food labels are
just inadequate. And I love.
Speaker 8 (45:14):
That a lot of the European countries now have colors, right,
and that's what food table and like one car means WHOA,
You're in trouble, and another color means hey, good choice.
Speaker 5 (45:29):
You know, but I will tell people, you know.
Speaker 8 (45:32):
When you look at food labels, if there's more in
a couple ingredients on it, then you shouldn't be eating it, right.
Speaker 5 (45:38):
And if you don't know.
Speaker 8 (45:38):
The names of it, and sugar has it as I
last 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 5 (45:52):
And again, sugar is glucose and fruit toast pumps.
Speaker 8 (45:56):
Up for insulin, which is not good, and then fruittose,
the other part of sugar, goes right to your liver
and damage at your liver and the major epidemic now
you know. But the point is this is all positive.
We can help so many people, and we need a program.
(46:17):
You need a way to help people learn this and
implement it. And you can't just do it and a
brief visit. 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 5 (46:40):
Share this great and Richard, that's a great call to action.
Speaker 6 (46:44):
Absolutely so doctor to tell if you would please, we
ask each of our.
Speaker 7 (46:49):
Guests to say, obesity is a medical condition, not a
character flaw. Please learn more about it and watch my
video on tackle obesity dot com.
Speaker 8 (47:01):
I agree with that, Russ, Well, why don't you give
it a try again. You know that I'm committed to
tackle abs that you know that I'm committed to tackle
and the fight against diabetes.
Speaker 5 (47:14):
And it's a real thing. It's a real thing to me.
Speaker 3 (47:17):
What are you gonna about that?
Speaker 5 (47:20):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (47:20):
Where are you going?
Speaker 5 (47:21):
To find out about more more information. Yes and uh.
Speaker 8 (47:25):
Again, so I admire what you guys do and yes,
uh and again you notice thing with.
Speaker 5 (47:31):
You know, Russ, this thing with obesity is a disease.
Speaker 8 (47:37):
Yeah. 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 morbidity.
Speaker 5 (48:00):
They're different faces of all the same abnormal biology.
Speaker 8 (48:05):
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 5 (48:18):
Right.
Speaker 8 (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
bad things. That goes down dramatically. And again the point
is that it takes time. But I'll give you an example,
(48:42):
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.
Speaker 5 (49:02):
Medicine, it doesn't matter. I call it good medicine.
Speaker 8 (49:05):
And now even beyond that, it's good life.
Speaker 5 (49:07):
Right.
Speaker 8 (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 millimeters translates to
a dramatic reduction in stroke and.
Speaker 5 (49:39):
Other bad things.
Speaker 8 (49:40):
Right, So whate I'm going to say is small steps,
and small steps are really meaningful. And then eventually small
steps turn into gigantic leaps. And you're not going to
make an interception and run it back for seventy yards if.
Speaker 5 (49:57):
You haven't started with twenty.
Speaker 3 (49:59):
Yard sprints exactly. But this is this is all phenomenal information,

Speaker 5 (51:16):
Richard, Richard, I have to say this. I had to
screen this out.
Speaker 8 (51:23):
Okay, okay, there's always a way to help someone. There's
always a way to help ourselves, and there's always a
way to help someone, And there's always a way to
help others.
Speaker 5 (51:35):
And it's small steps.
Speaker 8 (51:37):
Be encouraged, be enthusiastic. There's always a way to get better.
There's always a way to 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.
Speaker 5 (51:57):
Small steps at a time lead.
Speaker 8 (52:00):
To wonderful health and a vibrant life and.
Speaker 5 (52:07):
Health span.
Speaker 8 (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. There we go again. I

Have a happy healthy weekend. We'll see you guys next week.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
Join us as we dive deep into the world of
health and wellness, bringing you expert insights, inspiring stories, and
actionable tips to tackle obesity. Head on, Stay tune every
Saturday to the Tackle Obesity Show with our host, Richard Walker,
and together let's tackle obesity.
Speaker 12 (53:09):
The NFL Alumni Tackle Obesity Program serves our members and
the public with free training on how to tackle our obesity.
We know most of America struggles with lifestyle and food
choices that result in added weight. That weight impacts our wellness. Today,
we have many options to address this condition. Most importantly,
(53:31):
as we adjust our lifestyle and our food choices, the
benefits to our wellness are rapid. By learning new habits,
we can prevent diabetes, reduce heart disease risk, and enhance
our overall well being. By getting control of the food
choices we make, along with learning ways to avoid foods
that damage our bodies, we can tackle obesity. For more information,

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 like, share, subscribe, tackle obcity 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 of diains obesity, have
them joined us, Tag them on social media, courage them
to go to Tackle Obesity website sign up for That's
what we're here for because we know that tackle obesity
is a medical condition, it is not a character flaw,
and we are working to get it as a team
(01:08):
to overcome the tackle obesity epidemic.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I want us talk.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
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 bodies. What about the children, And
one of the things that gets overlooked is the fact
(01:34):
that during the summer this is a pitfall for obesity
in our children. In a recent study by the National
Institute of Biotechnology Information and the National Library of Medicine,
it shows that during the summer months, children tend to
gain weight on a thirty percent higher clip during the
(01:57):
summer months than they do during school year. Primary factors
include the fact that there's less activity. Some of the
children are not getting out and playing. In the South,
we have the issue of you know, possible heat exhaustion
due to extreme temperatures, and then there's just a general
overall lack of activity from not having a structured environment,
(02:19):
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.
We are addicted to processed foods, and having more access
(02:43):
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
to twenty seventeen gained average of twelve pounds during the
(03:07):
summer months. That's a significant amount of weight, twelve pounds
on average that they gained.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
During the summer months.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
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 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, Attackling bcdt House.
(03:35):
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
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 buds. Now
(03:55):
that we have talked about that issue, I want to
focus on our two amazing teammates that I brought a
law today. One of them is our og, the man
who has been there from day one, mister Russ Allen.
He is the director of the NFL Alumni Wellness Program.
He is the brain shout of the Tackle of Bcity program.
(04:17):
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'm
so so grateful to half of Here are we doing today.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Russ Richard, I'm doing fantastic And so he's so great
to see you and be able to share the things
we're learning about fackling our obesity.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
You know, my story was I lost fifty pounds, but
before picture was literally in front of the sign in Death.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Valley, so you could do it.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
After that, my wife lost seventy.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
So as a couple, we really took this on together
and it's really taken a new direction in my life.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
And just like you, I had.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
A transformative journey and it really is such an honor
to be.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
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 with answers.
He is a gurup in this vatt against obesity from
(05:25):
the 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.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
He is a trusted medical professional in this business, has
been dealing with 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 the word because now you're our teammate.
We're no longer going to call you a gift. You're
(06:03):
now teaving a new teammate, Doctor Gregentille.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Thank you Richard, and thank you Russ. It's been a
pleasure to work with us.
Speaker 8 (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
(06:32):
is to improve.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Well, actually, we're here.
Speaker 8 (06:36):
Not just to prevent and not just to better manage,
but to reverse chronic disease and writing it out. We're
flooded with an epidemic of chronic disease in our country.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
And what that means is it's a leading cause.
Speaker 8 (06:51):
Of disability, greatest reason for healthcare spending, greater than ninety
percent of health care spending.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
And greatest cause of premature death.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
And we're talking about things like stroke, heart attack, Alzheimer's dimension, dementia,
premature dementia, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease. And actually all
these things are a symptom of the flame that's out
of control inside us from the exposures we have all
(07:26):
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.
It's very doable. It's just oftentimes we're not aware of
things and that the NFL alumni are legends, models for society,
(07:47):
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 do to help ourselves and help other people.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
And that's what we're going to go through today.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
Doctor Natello, 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 5 (08:13):
Let you go.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
Well, Ross, I'll tell you when I was in my
early teenage years, I had diabetes 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,
(08:36):
here's insulin. You know at age I don't know, eleven
or twelve, and.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
I would drovery overweight. I was obese, and my mother
just wouldn't have that. And my mother imposed on me.
Speaker 8 (08:53):
Her lifestyle habits having grown up on a farm, and
actually reversed my diabetes. 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. 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 insulince. 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
(09:38):
in my life.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
But I lost the obesity.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
I lost the diabetes for good pretty much, and uh,
I'm forever grateful for that. And I'll show you that
as we go on. And I'm just going to show
a few slides, but I'll show you as a college
football player versus later on as a busy intervention cardiology,
carrying twinkies around in my pocket and drinking cokes and
(10:04):
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 life, I uh,
Richard and Russ, I was, oh, there was something wrong
with me, and I had to go to one doctor
after another, and everybody said, Oh, you're just working too hard.
(10:27):
Don't worry about it. You was just working too hard,
and I said, no, there's something wrong with me. 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.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
And then I was privileged because I.
Speaker 8 (10:51):
Could go back to everything I had learned but maybe
didn't learn during my education at the Cleveland Clinic over
the last.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Years of the history.
Speaker 8 (11:01):
They set every day to save lives and care for life, right,
So I went.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Back and kind of was privileged to.
Speaker 8 (11:08):
Go back and get re educated rather than just putting
stents and heart attack patients, which is fantastic and honorable.
But even the first doctor that the doctor that did
the first bypass surgery, your a fi Blaaro Cleveland Clinic,
said athoscrosis is a disease, and I can do bypass surgery,
(11:30):
but I'm not treating a disease.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
And we know that because we do a bypass.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
And someone comes back with the stroke where they still
have a high blood pressure. They're all different faces of
the same internal inflammation. And Richard, I don't want to
bore your audience with oxidative stress at immune dust regulation,
but there's an internal flame that gets out of control,
and then it's manifests as chronic diseases, of which there's
(11:57):
all a handful of which obesity and overweight our major issues.
At about forty percent of 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
(12:18):
we go on.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
So, yeah, I have had to walk to talk.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
I've had to learn and go back and get enlightened
repeatedly and at many years doing that, Richard, and had
to kind of change my whole career focus, my whole
vocational focus, and get enlightened.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Unfortunately, I had the resources.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
To go do that and save my own life as well,
and then learn a better way to help people.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Actually, and.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
You know, the way that I view life now is
to help people with their lifespan, with their lifespan their
health span. Right, it's not just how long you live,
but you want to have a health of me. You
want to be vigorous if you want to go out
and you want to pick up your ut, your grandchildren
(13:11):
or your kids or whatever.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Whatever you want to do.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
You want to be able to do that for as
long as possible and have a vibrant.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Exciting, happy life.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Right.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
So that's what work about, and that's what we're going
to talk about today.
Speaker 5 (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 a sort of a pain with a broad brush.
But how do we re educate our medical community because
I think a lot of the people that are in
practice right now, you know, forgive me if I'm miss
(13:49):
speaking here, but it seems like a lot of people
that are in practice are dealing with the vacuum versus prevention.
So how do we turn that curve where we're educating
our meal professionals to focus on prevention versus treatment.
Speaker 8 (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, or scrossis put diabetes and remission,
get rid of things that are driving these chronic diseases,
(14:26):
and turn chronic diseases around.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
And turn lives around.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
But to answer your question, I don't want to be
derogatory or negative at all.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
But you know, we're talking about things that have been.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
Going on for generations now, and what we've developed since
World War Two is a hammernail. Okay, everybody's in a
hammer nail, and it neglects the biologic differences between you,
me and Russ and IT that are driving that and
those faces of chronic disease. So we really have become
(15:05):
very siloed. 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.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
We have guys that are in hypertension. But we've not
been educated.
Speaker 8 (15:18):
To listen to what we've already learned since the nineteen
forties that we are what we are in life every
day and how we feel and how we function, how
long we live is.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Due to how well, our orchestra works.
Speaker 8 (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.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
To your gut.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
But all these things are so intimately related, and that
determines who we are, Richard, and how we feel and
function every day.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
And I'm going to give you some a group of.
Speaker 8 (16:08):
Common things that holds the answer to how we can
optimize that and optimize our function and vibrance in life.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Terrific.
Speaker 9 (16:20):
Well, one of the things that you know, we really
really sorry we probably didn't answer. But what we're doing
now is we have it's not just medicine.
Speaker 8 (16:32):
But you can't give someone this in a fifteen minute
office visit. Doctors are really pounded now, you know. And
again the medical schools are starting to implement this a
better education.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
But then as far as.
Speaker 8 (16:48):
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 a more enlightened perspective now, but certainly they have
an obligation. I believe to provide access to a system
(17:13):
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.
It's about opening the abundance of life giving and life
saving things.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
That people are not aware of.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
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.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
That's been presented to us as normal, and it's not normal.
So things are.
Speaker 8 (17:57):
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 again, I'll say thirty or
forty years ago, there were three hundred and fifty products
in the grocery store. Today there's thirty five thousand. But
(18:17):
if you really look at it, if you really look
at it, ninety five percent of them are all the
same thing. There're feed oils, Mega 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
(18:38):
compare it to getting the apple pie and McDonald's. There's
no correlation with the nutritional intention of the apple, But
yet people are buying that.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Or you think about kids are getting apple juice right right.
Speaker 10 (18:54):
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 the precursor to.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
It's chronic inflammation, and it's a precursor to pre diabetes
and diabetes at obesity and all those things. So what
I'm trying to say is, but yet people think I'm
going to see my kid apple juice.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
It's a wonderful thing. It's not.
Speaker 8 (19:19):
You're hurting your kid, and there's so many things, but
you think you're doing the right thing.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
So our society has really misled us, you know.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
And it's economically driven by the four or five food
companies basically that we have.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
In the world.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
And so we really have to just help people get
an awareness, but more importantly than we have to show
them the abundance 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 like to use the saying
that your food is your medicine, and if you don't
focus on it that way, then your medicine will become
your food.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Absolutely. And in fact, it's interesting, Richardster, were some groups.
Speaker 8 (20:14):
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 everyday things that we do every
day in our life, you know, to bring these things
(20:36):
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 for health and
business together and make a stand, you know, it would
(20:59):
make a fair difference.
Speaker 5 (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.

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 ceazel
and now neither is Toys for Tots. They've expanded their
outreach to support families in need all year long with
their new programs, including the Foster Care Initiative, giving toys
(21:32):
and tangible items for children to move with, inspiring hope
for a brighter future. The Native American Program has grown
to benefit over two hundred thousand children annually, providing toys
and books to participating reservations. And the Youth Ambassador Program,

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):

not a character flaw. Go to tackleobesity dot com and

Speaker 8 (23:09):
Richard, Maybe in RUSS maybe I could just say a
couple of key things, like six killers of health, go
for it.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Okay. One is what we eat.
Speaker 8 (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 5 (23:38):
You don't know this, maybe you do, but.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
There's a thing called fatty liver disease and it was
first discovered in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 10 (23:45):
Okay, this is unbelievable, and you know it was discovered
in kids, and I said, wait a minute, you have
alcoholic liver disease.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
But you're eight years old.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
You're not drinking alcohol, are you?
Speaker 13 (23:55):
No?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Oh? Wow?
Speaker 14 (23:57):
Will you have this thing called fatty liver disease which
now you know affects like a gigantic number of kids,
a gigantic number of adults for a long term.
Speaker 8 (24:08):
Uh, it's 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 5 (24:22):
Fruit toase goes right.
Speaker 8 (24:24):
To your liver and starts poisoning your liver, okay, and
leads to chronic liver disease. What is the most common
cast of chronic liver disease? And it's becoming a number
one reason for liver transplants in the world now in
this incredible fatty liver disease right, And it's all associated
with obesity and diabetes, inflammation, all this stuff.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
It's all in there together.
Speaker 8 (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.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
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.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
Are you doing? And I can always find out?
Speaker 8 (25:12):
But so one is we call nutrition, but it is
what we eat, it's what we drink.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
We should be drinking water. It is purified reverse osmosis.
Speaker 8 (25:22):
Green tea, okay, and I get green tea to decaffeinated
and green tea is really healthy, but in a ste
caffeinated a certain way Swiss water method, 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
(25:43):
a study came out a couple of months ago where
prodded artery surgery patients, right, half of them, half of
them had plastic, and the prodded arteries.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Wow, and the.
Speaker 10 (25:55):
Plastic and the prodid arteries predicted you're gonna die earlier.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
You're gonna to be sicker.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
Than the person who already has a bed of course,
because they have crowded disease but didn't have the plastic.
So what I'm trying to say is what we put
on our skin, the water we drink, all this what
we might.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Wave things in.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
You wave your food and plastic, you're heating it up,
moving those molecules into the food you've got, right, Cluss
or ceramic cannot use plastic.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Right, Glass all the time.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
And I packed everything in glass down a refrigerator. Very important.
I got a water filter, I got this, I got that.
But I'm not crazy. What I'm trying to say is
I used to think this was crazy stuff, but now
I know the biology of it, and I know the data.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
But the other thing, Russ, thank you for pointing out.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
It's not just the food we're talking about. And the
best food is the food that doesn't have labels. It's
hidden in the corner of the grocery store, right.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
And we have to teach people crucifers, vegetables. There's a
gazillion of them, you.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
Know, But any anyway, we have to teach people and
that there's an abundance of wonderful things out there, abundance
if we just let people know that and then how
to prepare it and what cooking oils to use and
not to use, like you know, like olive oil, is
like improves your life. All these other the Omega three,
(27:30):
but all the Omega six oils are very harmful to
your health. But also the packaging is what I wanted
to mention. The packaging is full of poisons and things
were called toxins and chemicals, so.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
You know.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
And again eating at home with the community and.
Speaker 8 (27:47):
All that love also is all molecules of emotion and
your biology.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Okay, and that also improves your health. And eating out
is a very treacherous road if you're gonna do that
a lot. Yeah. So that's a little bit on nutrition.
Speaker 8 (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 5 (28:16):
Diets are not sustainable.
Speaker 8 (28:18):
They don't work. You can be able to a thousand diets.
You have to get a healthy dietary pattern and whatever
we call it, if we call it, it doesn't matter
the Blue Zone diet or the Mediterranean dietary pattern, 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 I don't like the word to use exerciy. Yeah,
I'd like the chorious 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.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
Okay, that tells me heart rate variability.
Speaker 8 (28:56):
It tells me how I'm doing, and if I wake up,
it says, Greg, You're gonna feel terrible today.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
It's right.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
But I like it Richard and Russ, because it tells
me how many steps I walk aday and most importantly
for me, by contrast with a lot of the other
things available, it tells me about heart rate variability, which
is a balance of my red battery cable and my
blue and my black battery cable. We aught our bodies
(29:23):
run on two cables, and it's called the automatic nervous system.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
And that's why my blood.
Speaker 8 (29:29):
Vessels constrict when I stand up and I don't pass out,
and that's my heart rate, and my pupils get big
and small, I sweat or don't sweat.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
It's the two cables in your.
Speaker 8 (29:40):
Body, the automatic nervous system, and it impacts everything and
we have to have that imbalance.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
And then that's another thing, Vaguel tone. We could talk
about and too much.
Speaker 8 (29:52):
We live in a life where we're in the room
with a lion, so our rocket fuel are at the
nephron 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
(30:14):
rest and digest and regenerative phase. And that's what my
heart rate variability monitoring tells me.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
The numbers aren't important.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
What's important is to trend over weeks and months anyway.
So joyous activity, we could talk about it all day,
but it's essential.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
It prolongs your life.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
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 all you want,
it's not gonna matter.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Now.
Speaker 8 (30:51):
The other thing I want to talk about is stress,
real fast stress is a physiologic thing, and whether you're
aware of it or not, and whether it's physical stress
or emotional stress, bad relationships, toxic relationships.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
This is all biology.
Speaker 8 (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 5 (31:26):
So it's truly important.
Speaker 8 (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 things we can do to increase
our vagal tone. The other thing that's really critical that
people don't get is restorative sleep. One of the most
important things for health and obesity and everything else. And
(31:52):
when you don't get the sleep that you need on
a routine basis, This is all biology, somebody's opinion on
the street, but it will make you eat. It changes
all the hormones and nerves in your body. It changes
everything everything that you makes you who you are. You
(32:12):
can't do it effectively without restorative sleep. And we have
a whole course on sleep. Breathing is important. The other
thing I wanted another pillar is social connection.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
And we know that we have an epidemic now isolation
in America. Okay, people are on social media. Well we're
on social media now, so don't count this.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
But whatever are we what hour? Well, but this is
this is a good thing, though, doctor, because we're doing
film study and we're breaking this down. So don't think
we're that way. You just think we're in locker and roll. Yeah,
we're going through the exs and notes. That's what we're
doing exactly.
Speaker 8 (32:54):
I'm with you, guys. But the point I'm getting that
is social connection. Isolation is now been declared a major
public health crisis and also leads to chronic disease and
premature death.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
So all these things are real biological issues.
Speaker 6 (33:08):
Yes, Russ, I want to add hydration, and you mentioned
a filter that uses I have a Burkey filter, so
it uses a stone to.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Sandstone to filter the water.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
Yes, it eliminates ninety nine percent of the toxins and
so on.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
Costs nothing once you buy it last forever. I don't
have to throw away all those plastic bottles that held
my water in him and gotten hot and cold and
hot and cold. So whatever that plastic was shedding at
that time went into that water.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
Instead, I get it.
Speaker 7 (33:47):
From the tap which came from the reservoir through the filter.
It's about as healthy as you're going to get.
Speaker 8 (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 pellogrino,
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 5 (34:22):
And you have no idea.
Speaker 8 (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.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
I go to that because it's reversed osmosis.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
Whether they get it from a tap or wherever they
say they get it, most of these spring waters are
nonsense from their paths somewhere.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
But as long as they have reverse osmosis.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
And what is for our audience when is reverse osmosis.
Speaker 8 (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.
Speaker 8 (35:29):
Will just and then I'm going to just go through
this briefly, but I'm 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
(35:50):
we all need that. And also it also has to
do with again, when I was growing up on my
Italian relatives driving me crazy talking what the meal with
forever and my chinks got.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Pissed a thousand times.
Speaker 8 (36:06):
Actually, when we eat slower and we eat with intention
and we with community, everything physiologically and biologically is better.
Speaker 5 (36:18):
Is the point.
Speaker 8 (36:19):
It's not someone's opinion. This is all evidence based science.
And spirituality also makes a big difference in how we
feel and how we function and how long we live
a healthy life.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
The last thing I'll say is avoiding things that are risky.
Speaker 8 (36:39):
And here's the question, 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.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
I don't want to get.
Speaker 8 (36:56):
Carried away, all right, but I'll just think about what
I've gone through over the last couple of years.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
It's not crazy stuff.
Speaker 8 (37:03):
My father was a fireman and a barber, so I
saw people die from house fires. Today they don't do that.
What I mean is emerger responders. Firefighters don't put out
of fires today. What they do is they save lives
with CPR and healthcare issues.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
Right.
Speaker 8 (37:24):
But the point is, everybody has a bed, and most
people don't realize all the toxins and flame retardant stuff
that's in a bed. And then I'll realize they can
get an organic bed without all that stuff for less
expensive than they can get a toxic bed. But the
point is, Wow, the creating products that we use, or
(37:45):
the stuff that we put.
Speaker 5 (37:46):
On our hair and our skin, and all those.
Speaker 8 (37:50):
Things keep adding up over the lifetime.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
To cause.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
Over time, it's all these 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. They're not diseases. I know, yeah,
we want to call it a disease, and it is.
It's not an emotional thing that your obeses are overweight.
(38:18):
All these things are biologically mediated, is what I'm trying
to say. Oh wait, but my floor eu obese, what's
called it's one of the things contributing to obesity. And
talking about you said briefly, I'll say, Okay, I don't
know if you guys know this, but.
Speaker 5 (38:36):
More than ten percent of diffidens are obese. Did you
know that?
Speaker 8 (38:40):
And what we know for example, when we're talking about
this stuff Richard and Russ that wow, a study a
couple of years years ago showed ambilical cord the baby
had two hundred and fifty oxins and chemicals. Another study
from UH people that did leading work years ago showed
(39:02):
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 there are things that
are adverse to health, is what point. So all these things.
Speaker 5 (39:14):
Is what we have to teach people.
Speaker 8 (39:18):
And the last thing I'll say too about obesity is
that it reduces how long you live by about fifteen years,
guys by.
Speaker 5 (39:28):
About fiften to fifteen years. And that incredible.
Speaker 8 (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.
Speaker 8 (39:50):
Thank you and Russ your efforts are fantastic. But I
think it's important that we really get what matters here,
and it's not somebody's opinion, you know, And we had
so many opinions out there that unfortunately aren't really based
on real life, on real things, on science, on evidence
(40:11):
evident based, right. So that's what we have 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 are
(40:33):
all different phases of the same. What we we have
medical terms for internal immune dysregulation and oxidata stress, and
that's what we mean by chronic low grade inflammation and
now we know what feeds that, right sort of speak,
and we know how to stop that process, and then
we know how oftentimes we can repair the damaged metabolism
(40:58):
from those things. And what we're all here to do, right, absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 5 (41:04):
And rush forgive me. I don't forget 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 figure it
out in the film room. We get on the whiteboard.
We don't have to agree. Sometimes, you know, we get
a little chippy, but we got we have the same mission,
we have the same mindset. Work it out. We're gonna
(41:30):
work it out when we get all the field.
Speaker 8 (41:32):
And you know, Richard, I'm with you. And it's funny
how we've been influenced by a lot of.
Speaker 5 (41:36):
The same people. And you know, it's kind of interesting. Again.
Speaker 8 (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 5 (41:46):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 8 (41:49):
They have influenced to our biology and who we are,
just like all the things that we eat and 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 5 (42:12):
But I will share this with you too. I had
a problem one time Richard.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
Oh yeah, well I'll tell you.
Speaker 5 (42:20):
And okay, so I'm on the offensive line. I did
you know where my first step was? On my right foot?
Speaker 3 (42:34):
Where backwards?
Speaker 5 (42:36):
At Fords? And it should always be forward?
Speaker 8 (42:41):
And when Joe wanted me to do that in high school,
I was on his first team. What a privilege, Coach
Boglia And uh, you know what about the point I'm
getting at, it's once we teach people the joy of
doing the proper technique, then we all facilitate succeeding. And
(43:05):
I never missed a trap block after I finally learned that.
Speaker 5 (43:10):
Away.
Speaker 7 (43:11):
Okay, yeah, probably probably got put on your butt less dimes.
Speaker 8 (43:15):
Do it?
Speaker 5 (43:18):
Yes, And that's the whole point. When you take that
little step.
Speaker 8 (43:21):
Now, if you're a five hundred pounds you know, offensive guard, maybe.
Speaker 5 (43:25):
You can cheat and get away with that from a
guy like me who had no talent, I had no
ruby cheat.
Speaker 8 (43:32):
So if I didn't do the technique right, I'm not
going to succeed, and that's not we're.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
All the field.
Speaker 7 (43:39):
At least you were on the fields, just left out.
Speaker 8 (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 5 (43:54):
At a fordum at Fordham Prep at for him.
Speaker 8 (43:57):
University and his first job's to 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. Archberr Academy
in Delaware, claim my Delaware.
Speaker 8 (44:10):
But uh, and I know we still care about it.
Speaker 5 (44:13):
Russ. Maybe you're better off not on the field.
Speaker 8 (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 turf to spare.
Speaker 5 (44:27):
But the point is all these are.
Speaker 8 (44:29):
Good lessons in life, and we're all here to help people,
but we have to do it in an honest way.
And we're really overwhelmed today, Like I've heard Richard say,
before you walk into the grocery store and it's overwhelming, right,
I could just all made to feeling to us, And
I know I've heard Richard and the team talk about food.
Speaker 5 (44:51):
Labels, and I know this is important to me.
Speaker 8 (44:56):
But like in the nineteen nineties, people like doctor Castelli
from Framing in Art Study and dean Orage, a bunch
of people.
Speaker 5 (45:05):
They fought to get any food labels on. They fought
for that for years. And now the food labels are
just inadequate. And I love.
Speaker 8 (45:14):
That a lot of the European countries now have colors, right,
and that's what food table and like one car means WHOA,
You're in trouble, and another color means hey, good choice.
Speaker 5 (45:29):
You know, but I will tell people, you know.
Speaker 8 (45:32):
When you look at food labels, if there's more in
a couple ingredients on it, then you shouldn't be eating it, right.
Speaker 5 (45:38):
And if you don't know.
Speaker 8 (45:38):
The names of it, and sugar has it as I
last 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 5 (45:52):
And again, sugar is glucose and fruit toast pumps.
Speaker 8 (45:56):
Up for insulin, which is not good, and then fruittose,
the other part of sugar, goes right to your liver
and damage at your liver and the major epidemic now
you know. But the point is this is all positive.
We can help so many people, and we need a program.
(46:17):
You need a way to help people learn this and
implement it. And you can't just do it and a
brief visit. 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 5 (46:40):
Share this great and Richard, that's a great call to action.
Speaker 6 (46:44):
Absolutely so doctor to tell if you would please, we
ask each of our.
Speaker 7 (46:49):
Guests to say, obesity is a medical condition, not a
character flaw. Please learn more about it and watch my
video on tackle obesity dot com.
Speaker 8 (47:01):
I agree with that, Russ, Well, why don't you give
it a try again. You know that I'm committed to
tackle abs that you know that I'm committed to tackle
and the fight against diabetes.
Speaker 5 (47:14):
And it's a real thing. It's a real thing to me.
Speaker 3 (47:17):
What are you gonna about that?
Speaker 5 (47:20):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (47:20):
Where are you going?
Speaker 5 (47:21):
To find out about more more information. Yes and uh.
Speaker 8 (47:25):
Again, so I admire what you guys do and yes,
uh and again you notice thing with.
Speaker 5 (47:31):
You know, Russ, this thing with obesity is a disease.
Speaker 8 (47:37):
Yeah. 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 morbidity.
Speaker 5 (48:00):
They're different faces of all the same abnormal biology.
Speaker 8 (48:05):
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 5 (48:18):
Right.
Speaker 8 (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
bad things. That goes down dramatically. And again the point
is that it takes time. But I'll give you an example,
(48:42):
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.
Speaker 5 (49:02):
Medicine, it doesn't matter. I call it good medicine.
Speaker 8 (49:05):
And now even beyond that, it's good life.
Speaker 5 (49:07):
