Speaker 1: It's actually a place of choice. You're giving the choice
to listen to whatever you would like to. When it
comes to podcasting, why should you be forced to listen

and Podcrashing one on one. I talked to the world's
greatest podcasters and then we break it all down to
find out how you can become stronger in podcasting with

How are you doing today?
Speaker 2: Good? Well, I want to talk a little bit about
your private history. You have a listening audience here. You
be brave enough to say you had a heart attack
and we'll talk about that and around it.
Speaker 1: People like personal Look at you. You did your homework, dude,
Yeah it was. It was July twenty first, two thousand
and nine, at six fifteen pm were everything went wrong,
but we made it rise.
Speaker 2: We're going to help you make it even righter. And
some of the listeners out there don't have to have heart.
Speaker 1: Attack well, and I hope that they don't because it
is still what they call it a great mystery or
the silent killer. And when I found out about you,
doctor and what you're doing, it's like, my god, why
didn't I have you before two thousand and nine? Because
you really are You're about prevention, and that's where it's
all at.
Speaker 2: That's right, you bet it is. And let me say
something to you. You know, the system isn't built upon you
having the right choices. It's the choices that people profit from.
That's the difficulty. Hero, And you know that. So every
bit of food they put in front of you is
a heart attack or a stroke. You know, what's on
your plate literally becomes your biggest enemy. Yep. Most of
the time, people are becoming more lethargic. I mean, when
I was a kid, the children were outside. Our poor
mothers would have out at night with flashlights. We were
running around. We never stopped. Today everyone's upstairs in front
of the computer, not moving, getting fatter, getting sicker, giving
more heart attacks and strokes to themselves. And you know,
all the stress loads are through the roof now. As
an American, a proud American, I love this country. I
always felt secure that we had the greatest country, a
country that had empathy and compassion and that we welcomed.
My family came to this country and helped to build it.
And today we don't see that. So we see disharmony,
wee strife, we see separation, and all of these things
played a big major role on our stress. And this
month hard month. We have more research that just just
come out, just hit the press from Brigham's Harvard Hospital
up in Boston. We have a study that shows just
moderate amount of unhappiness, you know, pessimism, depression, not even
steep depression, deep double the heart attacks and strokes. So
and why that there's a chemical process early it's your
cortisol levels go up. The cortisol was put in your
body to make you run away from something, and if
you're not running, then it's started to eat away in
your heart. No, boy, another study done out in California,
University of California and Davis. This is even more frightening.
You could be the most well adjusted, healthy man or
a woman in the world and if you have a
big erratic, you know, traumatic experience within ten days, they
now start to see your heart starts to shed cells,
so your heart no longer is physically as strong as
it is when it becomes less cells. So these stress
loads that we have today, we've got to tell you know,
we have to tame them. Girl in. So it's what
happened when you had a heart attack that you had. No,
I don't call it a silent killer. You should have
somebody should have said to you, you're on the path
of having ardy there what happened to you?
Speaker 1: No, no, no. I went to the doctor because I
had a pain on the right side of my throat.
I thought that it was a throat. The doctor said no,
and I jokingly, my wife and I were jokesters. I said,
put those little dotty things on me and tell me
if it's strep throat. And she went in there. She
put the dots on me. The next thing you know,
I was having surgery. I was having a heart attack
right there. But I went in there for strep throat,
not a heart attack.
Speaker 2: Well, see, that's a good bit of advice you're giving
your listeners, cause people don't know the neck. It's not
only the left arm. It's a neck, it's a cheek.
It feels like you have temper and paralysis. I've see
people get there online. Yeah, but you were blessed you
went into the doctors because you would have probably not
been your earl on the show with me.
Speaker 1: Now, well, I was getting ready for my third degree
black belt test. I wanted to make sure that this Saturday,
I mean I was going to be in there, and
for some stinking reason, I couldn't figure out where my
energy went and so and I thought, oh, I'm just
coming down with strap throat. Let's get this thing taken
care of. Now wrong, I was so wrong.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you probably clawed up your arteries by eating
hamburgers and French fries and fried chicken and you're over exercise.
So one of the most interesting guys I know in
the world, he's still alive. He's probably in his early
nineties now, is doctor Kenneth Cooper. Yes, so you and
I know aerobic. We've been using that in our whole
adult life. He's the man that gave us a word aerobic. Wow.
He has a Cooper Center to Texas and he showed
something about thirty years ago that stunned all of us.
He said our gold and silver and bronze medalists were
dying at a much younger age than the rest of us,
and when he looked at it, he knew nothing about nutrition,
but really rapidly started to learn. He said that these
young men and women in their thirties, forty fifties, and
sixties were still exercising like they were teenagers, but they
didn't have healthy dyet and this was absolutely worse than
couch potatoes who didn't exercise. So this is probably what
you did.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this question though, because I think
this is part of that silent killer theory. Is that
I remember doctor Fandaddy looking at me saying, you better
call your family right now and let them know what's
going on. And he's the one that convinced me to
tell all of my brothers and sisters that we have
heart and disease in our family. I lost my brothers
and sisters because they chose to ignore it. Dude, I
can't go back in history and change this. All I
can do is we have got to start trusting people
like yourself more, doctor, because you're not on a fantasy trip.
You're not trying to score something from us. You are
physically out to save our lives.
Speaker 2: That's right, and for seventy years we created what all
of you call wellness here di Pocrtys in West pomp
there was no such things called wellness. In nineteen fifty
six we created it after our founder reverse stage for cancer,
after the Harvard doctors gave her ninety days to live.
So we've worked with a million people in one of
our in house programs. Here we have people from five
countries and all over the country right here as we speak,
this Saturday, we're celebrating the birth of wellness on this campus.
And so, yeah, you're right that we're not messing around.
This is not a money making scheme. This is a
life saving mission and this is what happens to people.
And the doctor was right because it's not genetics as
much as it's how you eat. So in my family,
we got up every single day. We ate a lot
of bacon, We ate a lot of milk, we ate
a lot of cream. You know, we had all of
these eggs. We had heavy, heavy food. But if your family,
your brothers and sisters and mom and dad ate that way,
it's not that the genetics make that happen. It's that
you're clogging up the orders from a young age. We
also made sugar. The sugar is the biggest culprit in
this whole story. And who doesn't eat sugar unless you
go way out of your way not to Please.
Speaker 1: Do not move. There's more with doctor Brian coming up next.
We are back with doctor Brian Clement. Are you ready
to change your life or you want to sit around
and wait for a little bit longer. One of the
greatest things that or an eye opener was the fact
and this was the eye opener on the doctor's behalf.
And that is why is it they didn't tell me
at two hundred and forty two pounds that I was
overweigh Because now that I'm one hundred and seventy three pounds,
the doctor's freaking out, going, what's wrong with you? What's
wrong with you? It's like, no, you got it wrong.
You should have been asking me what was wrong with
me at two forty two, not one seventy three.
Speaker 2: You're right, brother, Let me earl how I started this.
I lost one hundred and twenty pounds and they didn't
tell men that they were fat. God forbid you, we're
an overweight woman. But they told the man we were big. Yes,
you and I equate at a strong, muscular much of
all of this stuff. So you know, it is really crazy.
And ironically, when you get normal and healthy, the fat
and chubby doctors yelling at you and saying what's wrong
with you rather than hey, something's wrong with me and
something was wrong with earl. And when you have overweight
it is an absolute obvious diagnosis that you may have
a heart attack, stroke, more cancer, diabetes. The list goes on.
It's not just heart attacks. It's fundamental but ignorant that
these well educated physicians don't put two and two together.
Speaker 1: Well, one of the things that you put focus on
is poor mental mindset. We all know those people. And
you can't sit there and talk till you're blue in
the face saying watch out, watch out, watch out, because
they're not listening. But it takes someone like you doctor
to step up here saying, you know, I got to
talk about your poor mental mindset.
Speaker 2: Well, let me say something. And I heard what you
said a minute ago. You were on your right for
the black belt, and I'm sure you did that. Yes,
what's the number one thing that makes you great at
martial arts?
Speaker 1: Focus?
Speaker 2: Mental focus?
Speaker 1: That's that? Oh my god, we both said it at
the same time. That's so freaky, earl.
Speaker 2: How many Americans have mental focus. They all want to
be part of the club. They want to be part
of the right, the left, the good, the bad, and
all of this not to We are an American period.
We're not a separate country, and we should let the
whims of the idiots in Washington, no matter what side
they're on, judge your attitude. We've got to take responsibility
of our life and focusing on what matters your family,
your friends, your community, your country. And you've got to
be brave enough and strong enough to make those choices
and not say, oh, I'm very pro everyone else, but
I'm going to eat so many hamburgers and would end
up with a heart attack or stroke or cancer. You've
got to make personal choices that prove that you're not
kidding around people all have. You know a lot of
talk America. We're great talkers, but very few people are
doers at this point. And so I know that the
mental part after working fifty five years with all of
these hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people in a
clinical setting where our medical team the number one way
that you change a person is get their head to
be positive. If you don't have a positive head, you
could not be a good person in martial arts if
you had a negative head. It's ironic. It's just martial arts.
That's defense. It's not really negative. I think it's a
positive thing and defensing. And you think, well, these people
are negative because they're out there fighting, and that the
actual opposite is true. They're trying not to fight.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's so true. Where can people go to
find out more about you? Because I want them to
invest their time. It can be ten minutes, it can
be an hour, it can be whatever. Just take the
right step.
Speaker 2: Well, two things they can do. Number one easiest tonight
to listeners or tomorrow this weekend. Get on YouTube. A
wonderful group came in and did a documentary you know
that we had nothing to do with called wellness to transformation,
transformation and wellness destally and that shows you what the
pioneers of wellness and holistic healthcare and lifestyle medicine does
do here. And then come to Hippocrates, I mean people
from all over the world come here. What's holding you
back from changing? Well, you're afraid to change? And probably
the answers yes, you know you were probably afraid to change.
Still almost die and you say, hey, I want to change.
Speaker 1: True, you don't wait, don't wait till that.
Speaker 2: You know, you don't lose fifty pounds sixty pounds unless
you're serious.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: You can go back to the same thing and then
blame God or genetics for it. Don't be blaming anyone else.
Blame your lifestyle for it. So you come through these
programs and so the way you spell this place is
the father of medicine. H I pp O s r ates.
Then continue on. It's I N s T meaning institute
dot org. So the Pocrates I N s T Institute
dot work and we look forward to you come in here.
You got to get down here, Earl. I don't know
what's wrong with your wife's taking so long. That was
two thousand and nine, Yes, sir, what minute of the
that's pretty You remember that because it changed your life
you repuatably for the better.
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, well, please come back to this show anytime
in the future, because you know, I know this is
Heart month. It doesn't matter. Every day of the week
is heart and day, and we need to talk more
throughout the year.
Speaker 2: You bet, Earl, do you'd be well on all the
listeners out there, be well yourself.
Speaker 1: You'd be brilliant today. Okay, doctor you
