1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: 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

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,399
How are you doing today?

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,439
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 1: 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
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 1: 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
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 1: 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
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 1: 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
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 1: 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
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 1: 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
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 1: 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
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 1: Focus?

193
00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 2: Mental focus?

194
00:09:30,039 --> 00:09:32,039
Speaker 1: 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
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 1: 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
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 1: True, you don't wait, don't wait till that.

241
00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:57,519
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 1: That's right.

244
00:11:58,519 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 2: 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
