00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:04.360
to listen to whatever you would like to. When it
3
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:07.360
comes to podcasting, why should you be forced to listen

00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:09.560
to blah blah blah when you don't even know who

12
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:39.399
How are you doing today?
13
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:42.439
Good? Well, I want to talk a little bit about
14
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.159
your private history. You have a listening audience here. You
15
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.920
be brave enough to say you had a heart attack
16
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:49.960
and we'll talk about that and around it.
17
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:54.320
People like personal Look at you. You did your homework, dude,
18
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:57.880
Yeah it was. It was July twenty first, two thousand
19
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:01.359
and nine, at six fifteen pm were everything went wrong,
20
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:02.479
but we made it rise.
21
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.680
We're going to help you make it even righter. And
22
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:09.079
some of the listeners out there don't have to have heart.
23
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.760
Attack well, and I hope that they don't because it
24
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.599
is still what they call it a great mystery or
25
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.040
the silent killer. And when I found out about you,
26
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.920
doctor and what you're doing, it's like, my god, why
27
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.799
didn't I have you before two thousand and nine? Because
28
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.359
you really are You're about prevention, and that's where it's
29
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:26.799
all at.
30
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.599
That's right, you bet it is. And let me say
31
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.079
something to you. You know, the system isn't built upon you
32
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.640
having the right choices. It's the choices that people profit from.
33
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.280
That's the difficulty. Hero, And you know that. So every
34
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.159
bit of food they put in front of you is
35
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.719
a heart attack or a stroke. You know, what's on
36
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.640
your plate literally becomes your biggest enemy. Yep. Most of
37
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:55.200
the time, people are becoming more lethargic. I mean, when
38
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.920
I was a kid, the children were outside. Our poor
39
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.239
mothers would have out at night with flashlights. We were
40
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.359
running around. We never stopped. Today everyone's upstairs in front
41
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:08.120
of the computer, not moving, getting fatter, getting sicker, giving
42
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.879
more heart attacks and strokes to themselves. And you know,
43
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.319
all the stress loads are through the roof now. As
44
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.120
an American, a proud American, I love this country. I
45
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.120
always felt secure that we had the greatest country, a
46
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.560
country that had empathy and compassion and that we welcomed.
47
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.560
My family came to this country and helped to build it.
48
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.360
And today we don't see that. So we see disharmony,
49
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.479
wee strife, we see separation, and all of these things
50
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:37.400
played a big major role on our stress. And this
51
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:41.120
month hard month. We have more research that just just
52
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:46.439
come out, just hit the press from Brigham's Harvard Hospital
53
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.639
up in Boston. We have a study that shows just
54
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:54.520
moderate amount of unhappiness, you know, pessimism, depression, not even
55
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:59.039
steep depression, deep double the heart attacks and strokes. So
56
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.960
and why that there's a chemical process early it's your
57
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.240
cortisol levels go up. The cortisol was put in your
58
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.759
body to make you run away from something, and if
59
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:10.800
you're not running, then it's started to eat away in
60
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.080
your heart. No, boy, another study done out in California,
61
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.439
University of California and Davis. This is even more frightening.
62
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.159
You could be the most well adjusted, healthy man or
63
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:22.879
a woman in the world and if you have a
64
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:27.400
big erratic, you know, traumatic experience within ten days, they
65
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.919
now start to see your heart starts to shed cells,
66
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.439
so your heart no longer is physically as strong as
67
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:37.439
it is when it becomes less cells. So these stress
68
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.960
loads that we have today, we've got to tell you know,
69
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:43.039
we have to tame them. Girl in. So it's what
70
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:45.520
happened when you had a heart attack that you had. No,
71
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.400
I don't call it a silent killer. You should have
72
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.599
somebody should have said to you, you're on the path
73
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.439
of having ardy there what happened to you?
74
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.800
No, no, no. I went to the doctor because I
75
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.159
had a pain on the right side of my throat.
76
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.560
I thought that it was a throat. The doctor said no,
77
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.599
and I jokingly, my wife and I were jokesters. I said,
78
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:07.199
put those little dotty things on me and tell me
79
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:09.960
if it's strep throat. And she went in there. She
80
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:11.960
put the dots on me. The next thing you know,
81
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.439
I was having surgery. I was having a heart attack
82
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:16.720
right there. But I went in there for strep throat,
83
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:17.560
not a heart attack.
84
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.399
Well, see, that's a good bit of advice you're giving
85
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:23.800
your listeners, cause people don't know the neck. It's not
86
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.639
only the left arm. It's a neck, it's a cheek.
87
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.879
It feels like you have temper and paralysis. I've see
88
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.399
people get there online. Yeah, but you were blessed you
89
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:34.240
went into the doctors because you would have probably not
90
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:35.720
been your earl on the show with me.
91
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:37.959
Now, well, I was getting ready for my third degree
92
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.480
black belt test. I wanted to make sure that this Saturday,
93
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:42.040
I mean I was going to be in there, and
94
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.040
for some stinking reason, I couldn't figure out where my
95
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.199
energy went and so and I thought, oh, I'm just
96
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.639
coming down with strap throat. Let's get this thing taken
97
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:53.079
care of. Now wrong, I was so wrong.
98
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.199
Yeah, well, you probably clawed up your arteries by eating
99
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:03.199
hamburgers and French fries and fried chicken and you're over exercise.
100
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.600
So one of the most interesting guys I know in
101
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:08.480
the world, he's still alive. He's probably in his early
102
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.399
nineties now, is doctor Kenneth Cooper. Yes, so you and
103
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.199
I know aerobic. We've been using that in our whole
104
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:17.360
adult life. He's the man that gave us a word aerobic. Wow.
105
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.319
He has a Cooper Center to Texas and he showed
106
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.720
something about thirty years ago that stunned all of us.
107
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:26.279
He said our gold and silver and bronze medalists were
108
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:28.360
dying at a much younger age than the rest of us,
109
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.920
and when he looked at it, he knew nothing about nutrition,
110
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:35.199
but really rapidly started to learn. He said that these
111
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.439
young men and women in their thirties, forty fifties, and
112
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.639
sixties were still exercising like they were teenagers, but they
113
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.879
didn't have healthy dyet and this was absolutely worse than
114
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:48.680
couch potatoes who didn't exercise. So this is probably what
115
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:49.079
you did.
116
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.600
Let me ask you this question though, because I think
117
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.560
this is part of that silent killer theory. Is that
118
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.279
I remember doctor Fandaddy looking at me saying, you better
119
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.560
call your family right now and let them know what's
120
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.839
going on. And he's the one that convinced me to
121
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.319
tell all of my brothers and sisters that we have
122
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.439
heart and disease in our family. I lost my brothers
123
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:11.240
and sisters because they chose to ignore it. Dude, I
124
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.120
can't go back in history and change this. All I
125
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.279
can do is we have got to start trusting people
126
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.600
like yourself more, doctor, because you're not on a fantasy trip.
127
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:21.879
You're not trying to score something from us. You are
128
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:23.600
physically out to save our lives.
129
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:27.439
That's right, and for seventy years we created what all
130
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.000
of you call wellness here di Pocrtys in West pomp
131
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.720
there was no such things called wellness. In nineteen fifty
132
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.399
six we created it after our founder reverse stage for cancer,
133
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.759
after the Harvard doctors gave her ninety days to live.
134
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:42.560
So we've worked with a million people in one of
135
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.560
our in house programs. Here we have people from five
136
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.199
countries and all over the country right here as we speak,
137
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.000
this Saturday, we're celebrating the birth of wellness on this campus.
138
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.519
And so, yeah, you're right that we're not messing around.
139
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.560
This is not a money making scheme. This is a
140
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.800
life saving mission and this is what happens to people.
141
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.000
And the doctor was right because it's not genetics as
142
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.959
much as it's how you eat. So in my family,
143
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:11.959
we got up every single day. We ate a lot
144
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.560
of bacon, We ate a lot of milk, we ate
145
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.079
a lot of cream. You know, we had all of
146
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:21.279
these eggs. We had heavy, heavy food. But if your family,
147
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.040
your brothers and sisters and mom and dad ate that way,
148
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.959
it's not that the genetics make that happen. It's that
149
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.040
you're clogging up the orders from a young age. We
150
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.439
also made sugar. The sugar is the biggest culprit in
151
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.279
this whole story. And who doesn't eat sugar unless you
152
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.800
go way out of your way not to Please.
153
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:41.160
Do not move. There's more with doctor Brian coming up next.
154
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.240
We are back with doctor Brian Clement. Are you ready
155
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.120
to change your life or you want to sit around
156
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:50.079
and wait for a little bit longer. One of the
157
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.680
greatest things that or an eye opener was the fact
158
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.000
and this was the eye opener on the doctor's behalf.
159
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.240
And that is why is it they didn't tell me
160
00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:59.480
at two hundred and forty two pounds that I was
161
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.879
overweigh Because now that I'm one hundred and seventy three pounds,
162
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.160
the doctor's freaking out, going, what's wrong with you? What's
163
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:06.680
wrong with you? It's like, no, you got it wrong.
164
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:08.839
You should have been asking me what was wrong with
165
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.079
me at two forty two, not one seventy three.
166
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:16.040
You're right, brother, Let me earl how I started this.
167
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.959
I lost one hundred and twenty pounds and they didn't
168
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.079
tell men that they were fat. God forbid you, we're
169
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:25.040
an overweight woman. But they told the man we were big. Yes,
170
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.000
you and I equate at a strong, muscular much of
171
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.759
all of this stuff. So you know, it is really crazy.
172
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:35.399
And ironically, when you get normal and healthy, the fat
173
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.679
and chubby doctors yelling at you and saying what's wrong
174
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.360
with you rather than hey, something's wrong with me and
175
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.559
something was wrong with earl. And when you have overweight
176
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.639
it is an absolute obvious diagnosis that you may have
177
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:49.559
a heart attack, stroke, more cancer, diabetes. The list goes on.
178
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:54.960
It's not just heart attacks. It's fundamental but ignorant that
179
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:57.919
these well educated physicians don't put two and two together.
180
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:00.200
Well, one of the things that you put focus on
181
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:04.360
is poor mental mindset. We all know those people. And
182
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.399
you can't sit there and talk till you're blue in
183
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:08.799
the face saying watch out, watch out, watch out, because
184
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:11.679
they're not listening. But it takes someone like you doctor
185
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.720
to step up here saying, you know, I got to
186
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:16.559
talk about your poor mental mindset.
187
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.440
Well, let me say something. And I heard what you
188
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.000
said a minute ago. You were on your right for
189
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:23.919
the black belt, and I'm sure you did that. Yes,
190
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.679
what's the number one thing that makes you great at
191
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:27.480
martial arts?
192
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:28.799
Focus?
193
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:29.720
Mental focus?
194
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:32.039
That's that? Oh my god, we both said it at
195
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:36.960
the same time. That's so freaky, earl.
196
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.919
How many Americans have mental focus. They all want to
197
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:41.480
be part of the club. They want to be part
198
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:43.240
of the right, the left, the good, the bad, and
199
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.600
all of this not to We are an American period.
200
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:50.440
We're not a separate country, and we should let the
201
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.240
whims of the idiots in Washington, no matter what side
202
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:57.279
they're on, judge your attitude. We've got to take responsibility
203
00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:59.879
of our life and focusing on what matters your family,
204
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.799
your friends, your community, your country. And you've got to
205
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:05.279
be brave enough and strong enough to make those choices
206
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:08.519
and not say, oh, I'm very pro everyone else, but
207
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:10.440
I'm going to eat so many hamburgers and would end
208
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:12.600
up with a heart attack or stroke or cancer. You've
209
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.919
got to make personal choices that prove that you're not
210
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.679
kidding around people all have. You know a lot of
211
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:22.559
talk America. We're great talkers, but very few people are
212
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.399
doers at this point. And so I know that the
213
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:29.039
mental part after working fifty five years with all of
214
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:31.000
these hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people in a
215
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.159
clinical setting where our medical team the number one way
216
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:36.480
that you change a person is get their head to
217
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:39.159
be positive. If you don't have a positive head, you
218
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:43.240
could not be a good person in martial arts if
219
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:47.200
you had a negative head. It's ironic. It's just martial arts.
220
00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:50.879
That's defense. It's not really negative. I think it's a
221
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.519
positive thing and defensing. And you think, well, these people
222
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.519
are negative because they're out there fighting, and that the
223
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.200
actual opposite is true. They're trying not to fight.
224
00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:03.159
That's right, that's so true. Where can people go to
225
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:06.080
find out more about you? Because I want them to
226
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:08.879
invest their time. It can be ten minutes, it can
227
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.519
be an hour, it can be whatever. Just take the
228
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:12.320
right step.
229
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.960
Well, two things they can do. Number one easiest tonight
230
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:21.519
to listeners or tomorrow this weekend. Get on YouTube. A
231
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.120
wonderful group came in and did a documentary you know
232
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.720
that we had nothing to do with called wellness to transformation,
233
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:32.759
transformation and wellness destally and that shows you what the
234
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:37.480
pioneers of wellness and holistic healthcare and lifestyle medicine does
235
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.919
do here. And then come to Hippocrates, I mean people
236
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:43.279
from all over the world come here. What's holding you
237
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.320
back from changing? Well, you're afraid to change? And probably
238
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:49.600
the answers yes, you know you were probably afraid to change.
239
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:51.759
Still almost die and you say, hey, I want to change.
240
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:54.480
True, you don't wait, don't wait till that.
241
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:57.519
You know, you don't lose fifty pounds sixty pounds unless
242
00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:58.080
you're serious.
243
00:11:58.159 --> 00:11:58.480
That's right.
244
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:00.440
You can go back to the same thing and then
245
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.799
blame God or genetics for it. Don't be blaming anyone else.
246
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.759
Blame your lifestyle for it. So you come through these
247
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:10.000
programs and so the way you spell this place is
248
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:19.480
the father of medicine. H I pp O s r ates.
249
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:22.720
Then continue on. It's I N s T meaning institute
250
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:25.639
dot org. So the Pocrates I N s T Institute
251
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:28.279
dot work and we look forward to you come in here.
252
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:30.440
You got to get down here, Earl. I don't know
253
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:32.639
what's wrong with your wife's taking so long. That was
254
00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:35.480
two thousand and nine, Yes, sir, what minute of the
255
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.039

you repuatably for the better.
257
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:44.000
Yes, absolutely, well, please come back to this show anytime
258
00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:45.679
in the future, because you know, I know this is
259
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.840
Heart month. It doesn't matter. Every day of the week
260
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.159
is heart and day, and we need to talk more
261
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:51.879
throughout the year.
262
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:55.039
You bet, Earl, do you'd be well on all the
263
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:57.240
listeners out there, be well yourself.
264
00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:00.440
You'd be brilliant today. Okay, doctor you
1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.720
It's actually a place of choice. You're giving the choice
2
00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:04.360
to listen to whatever you would like to. When it
3
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:07.360
comes to podcasting, why should you be forced to listen
4
00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:09.560
to blah blah blah when you don't even know who
5
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:13.000

00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:24.079

12
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:39.399
How are you doing today?
13
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:42.439
Good? Well, I want to talk a little bit about
14
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.159
your private history. You have a listening audience here. You
15
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.920
be brave enough to say you had a heart attack
16
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:49.960
and we'll talk about that and around it.
17
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:54.320
People like personal Look at you. You did your homework, dude,
18
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:57.880
Yeah it was. It was July twenty first, two thousand
19
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:01.359
and nine, at six fifteen pm were everything went wrong,
20
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:02.479
but we made it rise.
21
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.680
We're going to help you make it even righter. And
22
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:09.079
some of the listeners out there don't have to have heart.
23
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.760
Attack well, and I hope that they don't because it
24
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.599
is still what they call it a great mystery or
25
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.040
the silent killer. And when I found out about you,
26
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.920
doctor and what you're doing, it's like, my god, why
27
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.799
didn't I have you before two thousand and nine? Because
28
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.359
you really are You're about prevention, and that's where it's
29
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:26.799
all at.
30
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.599
That's right, you bet it is. And let me say
31
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.079
something to you. You know, the system isn't built upon you
32
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.640
having the right choices. It's the choices that people profit from.
33
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.280
That's the difficulty. Hero, And you know that. So every
34
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.159
bit of food they put in front of you is
35
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.719
a heart attack or a stroke. You know, what's on
36
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.640
your plate literally becomes your biggest enemy. Yep. Most of
37
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:55.200
the time, people are becoming more lethargic. I mean, when
38
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.920
I was a kid, the children were outside. Our poor
39
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.239
mothers would have out at night with flashlights. We were
40
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.359
running around. We never stopped. Today everyone's upstairs in front
41
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:08.120
of the computer, not moving, getting fatter, getting sicker, giving
42
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.879
more heart attacks and strokes to themselves. And you know,
43
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.319
all the stress loads are through the roof now. As
44
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.120
an American, a proud American, I love this country. I
45
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.120
always felt secure that we had the greatest country, a
46
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.560
country that had empathy and compassion and that we welcomed.
47
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.560
My family came to this country and helped to build it.
48
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.360
And today we don't see that. So we see disharmony,
49
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.479
wee strife, we see separation, and all of these things
50
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:37.400
played a big major role on our stress. And this
51
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:41.120
month hard month. We have more research that just just
52
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:46.439
come out, just hit the press from Brigham's Harvard Hospital
53
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.639
up in Boston. We have a study that shows just
54
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:54.520
moderate amount of unhappiness, you know, pessimism, depression, not even
55
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:59.039
steep depression, deep double the heart attacks and strokes. So
56
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.960
and why that there's a chemical process early it's your
57
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.240
cortisol levels go up. The cortisol was put in your
58
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.759
body to make you run away from something, and if
59
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:10.800
you're not running, then it's started to eat away in
60
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.080
your heart. No, boy, another study done out in California,
61
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.439
University of California and Davis. This is even more frightening.
62
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.159
You could be the most well adjusted, healthy man or
63
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:22.879
a woman in the world and if you have a
64
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:27.400
big erratic, you know, traumatic experience within ten days, they
65
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.919
now start to see your heart starts to shed cells,
66
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.439
so your heart no longer is physically as strong as
67
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:37.439
it is when it becomes less cells. So these stress
68
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.960
loads that we have today, we've got to tell you know,
69
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:43.039
we have to tame them. Girl in. So it's what
70
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:45.520
happened when you had a heart attack that you had. No,
71
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.400
I don't call it a silent killer. You should have
72
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.599
somebody should have said to you, you're on the path
73
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.439
of having ardy there what happened to you?
74
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.800
No, no, no. I went to the doctor because I
75
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.159
had a pain on the right side of my throat.
76
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.560
I thought that it was a throat. The doctor said no,
77
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.599
and I jokingly, my wife and I were jokesters. I said,
78
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:07.199
put those little dotty things on me and tell me
79
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:09.960
if it's strep throat. And she went in there. She
80
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:11.960
put the dots on me. The next thing you know,
81
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.439
I was having surgery. I was having a heart attack
82
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:16.720
right there. But I went in there for strep throat,
83
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:17.560
not a heart attack.
84
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.399
Well, see, that's a good bit of advice you're giving
85
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:23.800
your listeners, cause people don't know the neck. It's not
86
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.639
only the left arm. It's a neck, it's a cheek.
87
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.879
It feels like you have temper and paralysis. I've see
88
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.399
people get there online. Yeah, but you were blessed you
89
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:34.240
went into the doctors because you would have probably not
90
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:35.720
been your earl on the show with me.
91
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:37.959
Now, well, I was getting ready for my third degree
92
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.480
black belt test. I wanted to make sure that this Saturday,
93
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:42.040
I mean I was going to be in there, and
94
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.040
for some stinking reason, I couldn't figure out where my
95
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.199
energy went and so and I thought, oh, I'm just
96
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.639
coming down with strap throat. Let's get this thing taken
97
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:53.079
care of. Now wrong, I was so wrong.
98
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.199
Yeah, well, you probably clawed up your arteries by eating
99
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:03.199
hamburgers and French fries and fried chicken and you're over exercise.
100
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.600
So one of the most interesting guys I know in
101
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:08.480
the world, he's still alive. He's probably in his early
102
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.399
nineties now, is doctor Kenneth Cooper. Yes, so you and
103
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.199
I know aerobic. We've been using that in our whole
104
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:17.360
adult life. He's the man that gave us a word aerobic. Wow.
105
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.319
He has a Cooper Center to Texas and he showed
106
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.720
something about thirty years ago that stunned all of us.
107
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:26.279
He said our gold and silver and bronze medalists were
108
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:28.360
dying at a much younger age than the rest of us,
109
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.920
and when he looked at it, he knew nothing about nutrition,
110
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:35.199
but really rapidly started to learn. He said that these
111
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.439
young men and women in their thirties, forty fifties, and
112
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.639
sixties were still exercising like they were teenagers, but they
113
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.879
didn't have healthy dyet and this was absolutely worse than
114
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:48.680
couch potatoes who didn't exercise. So this is probably what
115
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:49.079
you did.
116
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.600
Let me ask you this question though, because I think
117
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.560
this is part of that silent killer theory. Is that
118
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.279
I remember doctor Fandaddy looking at me saying, you better
119
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.560
call your family right now and let them know what's
120
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.839
going on. And he's the one that convinced me to
121
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.319
tell all of my brothers and sisters that we have
122
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.439
heart and disease in our family. I lost my brothers
123
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:11.240
and sisters because they chose to ignore it. Dude, I
124
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.120
can't go back in history and change this. All I
125
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.279
can do is we have got to start trusting people
126
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.600
like yourself more, doctor, because you're not on a fantasy trip.
127
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:21.879
You're not trying to score something from us. You are
128
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:23.600
physically out to save our lives.
129
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:27.439
That's right, and for seventy years we created what all
130
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.000
of you call wellness here di Pocrtys in West pomp
131
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.720
there was no such things called wellness. In nineteen fifty
132
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.399
six we created it after our founder reverse stage for cancer,
133
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.759
after the Harvard doctors gave her ninety days to live.
134
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:42.560
So we've worked with a million people in one of
135
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.560
our in house programs. Here we have people from five
136
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.199
countries and all over the country right here as we speak,
137
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.000
this Saturday, we're celebrating the birth of wellness on this campus.
138
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.519
And so, yeah, you're right that we're not messing around.
139
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.560
This is not a money making scheme. This is a
140
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.800
life saving mission and this is what happens to people.
141
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.000
And the doctor was right because it's not genetics as
142
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.959
much as it's how you eat. So in my family,
143
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:11.959
we got up every single day. We ate a lot
144
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.560
of bacon, We ate a lot of milk, we ate
145
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.079
a lot of cream. You know, we had all of
146
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:21.279
these eggs. We had heavy, heavy food. But if your family,
147
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.040
your brothers and sisters and mom and dad ate that way,
148
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.959
it's not that the genetics make that happen. It's that
149
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.040
you're clogging up the orders from a young age. We
150
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.439
also made sugar. The sugar is the biggest culprit in
151
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.279
this whole story. And who doesn't eat sugar unless you
152
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.800
go way out of your way not to Please.
153
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:41.160
Do not move. There's more with doctor Brian coming up next.
154
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.240
We are back with doctor Brian Clement. Are you ready
155
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.120
to change your life or you want to sit around
156
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:50.079
and wait for a little bit longer. One of the
157
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.680
greatest things that or an eye opener was the fact
158
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.000
and this was the eye opener on the doctor's behalf.
159
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.240
And that is why is it they didn't tell me
160
00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:59.480
at two hundred and forty two pounds that I was
161
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.879
overweigh Because now that I'm one hundred and seventy three pounds,
162
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.160
the doctor's freaking out, going, what's wrong with you? What's
163
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:06.680
wrong with you? It's like, no, you got it wrong.
164
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:08.839
You should have been asking me what was wrong with
165
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.079
me at two forty two, not one seventy three.
166
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:16.040
You're right, brother, Let me earl how I started this.
167
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.959
I lost one hundred and twenty pounds and they didn't
168
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.079
tell men that they were fat. God forbid you, we're
169
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:25.040
an overweight woman. But they told the man we were big. Yes,
170
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.000
you and I equate at a strong, muscular much of
171
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.759
all of this stuff. So you know, it is really crazy.
172
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:35.399
And ironically, when you get normal and healthy, the fat
173
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.679
and chubby doctors yelling at you and saying what's wrong
174
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.360
with you rather than hey, something's wrong with me and
175
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.559
something was wrong with earl. And when you have overweight
176
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.639
it is an absolute obvious diagnosis that you may have
177
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:49.559
a heart attack, stroke, more cancer, diabetes. The list goes on.
178
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:54.960
It's not just heart attacks. It's fundamental but ignorant that
179
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:57.919
these well educated physicians don't put two and two together.
180
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:00.200
Well, one of the things that you put focus on
181
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:04.360
is poor mental mindset. We all know those people. And
182
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.399
you can't sit there and talk till you're blue in
183
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:08.799
the face saying watch out, watch out, watch out, because
184
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:11.679
they're not listening. But it takes someone like you doctor
185
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.720
to step up here saying, you know, I got to
186
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:16.559
talk about your poor mental mindset.
187
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.440
Well, let me say something. And I heard what you
188
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.000
said a minute ago. You were on your right for
189
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:23.919
the black belt, and I'm sure you did that. Yes,
190
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.679
what's the number one thing that makes you great at
191
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:27.480
martial arts?
192
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:28.799
Focus?
193
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:29.720
Mental focus?
194
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:32.039
That's that? Oh my god, we both said it at
195
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:36.960
the same time. That's so freaky, earl.
196
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.919
How many Americans have mental focus. They all want to
197
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:41.480
be part of the club. They want to be part
198
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:43.240
of the right, the left, the good, the bad, and
199
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.600
all of this not to We are an American period.
200
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:50.440
We're not a separate country, and we should let the
201
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.240
whims of the idiots in Washington, no matter what side
202
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:57.279
they're on, judge your attitude. We've got to take responsibility
203
00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:59.879
of our life and focusing on what matters your family,
204
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.799
your friends, your community, your country. And you've got to
205
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:05.279
be brave enough and strong enough to make those choices
206
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:08.519
and not say, oh, I'm very pro everyone else, but
207
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:10.440
I'm going to eat so many hamburgers and would end
208
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:12.600
up with a heart attack or stroke or cancer. You've
209
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.919
got to make personal choices that prove that you're not
210
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.679
kidding around people all have. You know a lot of
211
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:22.559
talk America. We're great talkers, but very few people are
212
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.399
doers at this point. And so I know that the
213
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:29.039
mental part after working fifty five years with all of
214
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:31.000
these hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people in a
215
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.159
clinical setting where our medical team the number one way
216
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:36.480
that you change a person is get their head to
217
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:39.159
be positive. If you don't have a positive head, you
218
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:43.240
could not be a good person in martial arts if
219
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:47.200
you had a negative head. It's ironic. It's just martial arts.
220
00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:50.879
That's defense. It's not really negative. I think it's a
221
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.519
positive thing and defensing. And you think, well, these people
222
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.519
are negative because they're out there fighting, and that the
223
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.200
actual opposite is true. They're trying not to fight.
224
00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:03.159
That's right, that's so true. Where can people go to
225
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:06.080
find out more about you? Because I want them to
226
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:08.879
invest their time. It can be ten minutes, it can
227
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.519
be an hour, it can be whatever. Just take the
228
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:12.320
right step.
229
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.960
Well, two things they can do. Number one easiest tonight
230
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:21.519
to listeners or tomorrow this weekend. Get on YouTube. A
231
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.120
wonderful group came in and did a documentary you know
232
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.720
that we had nothing to do with called wellness to transformation,
233
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:32.759
transformation and wellness destally and that shows you what the
234
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:37.480
pioneers of wellness and holistic healthcare and lifestyle medicine does
235
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.919
do here. And then come to Hippocrates, I mean people
236
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:43.279
from all over the world come here. What's holding you
237
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.320
back from changing? Well, you're afraid to change? And probably
