  Speaker 1: You're listening to I Choose Me with Jenny Garl. Hi. Everyone,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: welcome to I Choose Me. This podcast. You got it.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: It's about the choices we make in life. So today
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about the science of aging
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: and how our choices affect our skin. Doctor Nicholas Paricone
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: is a pioneering dermatologist and a best selling author whose
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: work has reshaped how we think about beauty and health
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: from the inside out. He has taught us his three
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: tier strategy since the nineties. You guys. He has a
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: new book, The Beauty Molecule, which I have been using
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: like a bible. Hello. Doctor Paricone is going to share
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: why beauty has never been just skin deep and how
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the choices we make every day truly matter. I have
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: long trusted doctor Paricone. He brings deep experience and fresh
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: insight to the wellness conversation. I'm so pleased to introduce
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: doctor Nicholas Paracne. Okay, it is so wonderful to see you,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: even if it's on my computer screen.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Well, it's really nice to get a chance to be
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: with you electronic.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I feel like we've been together a long time.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I mean when I say together a long time, but
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I remember reading your first book back in the nineties
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: when you were launching your skincare brand Altogether. I was
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: a faithful customer of yours, and I've returned to it
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: in the last couple of years because I had the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: opportunity to be a brand ambassador for Para Cone Empty,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: which I've had such a great time doing. So this
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: feels very full circle for me. And as usual, your
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: conversations about inflammating have intrigued me once again in this
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: new book. It's been ten years, right since your last book.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: This one is the Beauty Molecule. What is the title
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: all about.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Well, I did a lot of research, and people said,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: why has it been ten years since your last book?
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I said, well, I'm looking for new research because I
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: don't want to be writing a book over and over again,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: which many authors do, and you just get the same old,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: same old. So what I found out was it all
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: came down to one molecule in the body that is
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: anti inflammatory, that effects and basically allows us to have
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: memories and for thinking, makes our muscles contract and I can
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: just go on all day here.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: So it's just one wait, one molecule.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: One molecule does all that. It's called acetylcholine, and you know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: it works throughout our bodies in a way, so it's
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: a neurotransmitter. But it also works, like I said, for
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: muscle contraction. So when you actually when when the motor
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: centers of your brain say okay, I want to move
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: my arm, it sends a signal and the electrical signal
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: goes towards the muscle, but it doesn't actually connect with
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the muscle. Is a gap. It's called a neuromuscular junction
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: and south of acetylcholine, and they're actually receptors on the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: muscle and they pick up the set and they contract.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: So it's an electric message and it's a chemical message
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: at the same time. And so it's redundancy with different ways.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And I think that's probably was designed by the creators
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: so that we have backup systems.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: That yes, well everything you say makes sense. However, I
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: need like the dialogue for the dummies, Like you know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: when it comes to the science behind skincare, it can
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: get so confusing and there are so many terms and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: things like that, So feel free to speak to me
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: as if you're speaking to a child. Basically, that's what
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I'm saying.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: No, I'm really good at is translating science into something
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: that's understandable because it's not. There are no everybody thinks
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: that science is difficult. No, whenever you're in a specialty,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: whether it's medicine or science or any other specialty, they
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: have their own language. It was important because we need
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: to communicate our system. But also it comes down to it.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: It's kind of a litist you know, if you have
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: a different language and makes you look more important.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Tell us why you believe fighting excessive inflammation is basically
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the answer to almost everything in regard to skincare and
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: health in general.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a great question, and it started off I
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: was in medical school and we had to take a
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: course called histopathology where you spent looking at the microscope.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: And so the idea was a seat clinically on the
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: patient and then going in to see the biopsies and
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: what it looks like under a microscope. And I'm looking
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: at this tumor it's called the scraam of cell cancer,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and it surrounded by inflammation. And what that looks like
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: under the microscope is we have to stain the tissue
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: and the immune cells that are around. This thing actually
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: gets stained blue, so it looks like blue confetti. And
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: there it was. I said, well, it's a lot of inflammation.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Then I continued with my studies, and there's inflammation everywhere.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: It's in arteries, it was in brain. So I talked
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: to the professors. I said, is it possible that inflammation
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: may be driving these pathology pathological problems? Oh no, it
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: was kind of needs your go No, no, it's your
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: immune system reacting, which I thought was odd, but anyway,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: but I kept that with me, and then as I progressed,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I learned it awful lot. And one of the things
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I did notice is when I was doing my looking
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: under the microscope, I was also doing some clinical work.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: And when I was doing my psychiatric rotation, I noticed
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: that people who are taking psychemets their skin looked better.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: And I said that, and so I was taking this
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: other call. Of course, it was called embryology. And so
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: it's nice having all these basic sciences at the same
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: time you're learning. It was very special school I went
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: to was they put everything together. It was called the
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: problem based anyway, so I'm looking at these people and
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I'm reading about this, and I said, wait, a minute.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: So I found out that we come from three layers
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: of tissue. It's called ectoderm, indoderm, and mesoderm. An ectoderm
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: makes brain and skin. I said, well, if the same
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: layer makes skin and brain, then there's got to be
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: this connection. And I call it the brain beauty connection
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: because that put me on a path. So if anything
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: was active in the central nervous system, like psychmds, it
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: would also affect the skin and vice versa. And so
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: that's why I came up with a setyl colin and
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I started working with that in my products, which you
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: tried many years ago, because by adding that and it
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: gets into your skin, it works in the nervous system
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: and starts giving you tone, and it also gives you
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: radiance and all these other things. Poor snapshut. Because it's
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: all based on this neurotransmitter acetyl colon.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: A cetyl colon.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: That's what we're here for. So that's the beauty molecule.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: That's the beauty molecule. Wow, I feel like I've just
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: learned something very important to longevity and anti aging.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Acetyl colon and you've been getting that from years and
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: by the way your skin looks amazing.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Oh why, thank you. I am using some really great products.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I could tell you about them later. No, I've loved,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I've loved. I love your products. They are so science backed,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and you know, I could speak forever about how much
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: difference I've seen in my skin and how many comments
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I get and how many people have turned on to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the products. But back to the book, because I really
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: feel like I grew up with self help books and
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: my mom definitely had your first book. I remember reading
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: through it, leaping through it, and I love a book
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: with a good plan, you know, like you break it down,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you make it informational but also attainable because it's broken
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: down into this easy plan. And you've done that with
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: your book and given us this anti inflammatory diet, very
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: specific specific foods that are non inflammatory. What are some
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: of the best foods we can stick with? I know
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you love your olive oil.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, okay, So once again it's a good question. So
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: to make it really simple, very basically, is that I
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: found well, I have a master's nutrition as well, so
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I had an advantage of brother.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: That is an advantage.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, it comes down to this, if you have a
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: food that causes a rapid rise in your blood sugar.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: That results in your body secreting insulin, because that's how
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: we control everything. This insulent allows the sugar to get
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: into the cell and when that happens, you get a
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: burst of inflammation in every cell in your body that
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: lasts for up to three days. So we have to
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: do is carefully control blood sugar. And that's what my
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: diet is all about. So we carefully control blood sugar.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: And there's something called the glycemic index. You pick a
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: little book up and they'll tell you by number what's high.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: And you don't want things that are high because that
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: means it's going to have an instant response. So I
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: always stay below fifty on the glycemic index. And then
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: you have to have all of the important things. You
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: are getting enough protein, you know on the days you
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: don't eat enough protein or the days you age, because
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: it's used for repair of your cell.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, doctor par Cone, you're killing me right now.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I'm a plant based eater. So while I want to
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: have this conversation for everybody that's not plant based, which
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: is the majority of people out there, I really am
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: curious how the heck I can follow your program as
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: a plant based eater.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a good question because of a number of
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: patients who are in the same position that you are,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: and and I really wish that I could do the same.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I just can't survive physically on plant based, but I
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: do not have any joy about thinking or eating other
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: animal it's just discover Yeah, So here's the way I
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: would suggest to do this. There are three amino acids
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: and they are well branch chain amino acids. And I
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: don't want to get technical, but the people who use
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: this are a lot of people who do weight training
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: because it helps. It's such it's so efficient in terms
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: of anabolic effects. And so you need to take branch
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: chain amino acids every day. And the powder you can
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: get it off of something place like Amazon. You get
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: ouder and put it in a drink of yours, taste
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: a little bitter, and you just get it down and
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: that makes a video. Do it twice a day and
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: that will make up. Because the branch chain amino acids
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: are very important, but you're only going to You're going
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: to find them the highest level in food that's non vegetable,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: that's animal based, So you can just supplement that not
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: your wonderful philosophical diet in in best of both worlds.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great to know. I'm definitely going to look
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: into that so that can make up the difference in
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the protein that I'm not getting from animals because your
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: diet is very full of salmon in particular. You talk
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: about how important it is to eat salmon a lot,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and I used to eat salmon, and I could definitely
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: feel something happening from the inside out when you eat
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: that kind of oil from a fish, like it just
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: sort of replenishes your molecules, I think, in your body.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm no scientist, but it made me feel better.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Well, it is amazing theo's essential fatty acids that are
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: in salmon because it feeds the brain and of course
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: brain beauty connection. It makes your skin look radient. So
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: when I peep put people on a antiflanmatry diet or
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I do that before I go on camera, I need
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: three days and get really strict, and you just have
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: a secial radiance. Looks like someone has put a light
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: bulb in your head. Could you just glo out? It's
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: just because the rop inflammation, the cells become extremely efficient
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: in terms of taking up nutrients or kicking out waste.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: So you have this, and you also make a lot
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: of something called nitric oxide, so your blood vessels violate
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: and you look so healthy. There was a group of
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I was working a lot with the makeup artists in
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: LA and they said, you know, we hate to put
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: makeup on people that are on your diet because they
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: have this natural radiance. So I went and came up
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: with a new line was called no makeup makeup because
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I didn't cover that up and that's what they use now.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: And oh, thank God for these wonderful people that are
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: makeup artists. They just helped me so much in my
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: career was suspended.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: You and me both. Let's talk about though, the specific
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: foods that you suggest on the anti inflammatory diet. One
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: number one salmon.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, so number one salmon. Remember we don't want to
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: have an sugar elevation, so salmon is like really important,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: and green salads are really important as well. And I
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: just love to have a salad every day. It's just
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: like and my mom said, you know, a salad to
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: day keeps the doctor don't see me anymore. And for
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: that and then also you need to have salads with
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: lots of colors. And so when I work with the
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: little kids in school and teaching the nutrition, I talk
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: about the color quotient. It's like an IQ, it's color quotient.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I want to do is look at the ball and
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: how many colors can you count? And the more colors
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: you count, that means you're getting all of these wonderful
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: chemicals called polyphenols. And polyphenols are anti inflammatory, antioxidant, stabilizes
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: blood sugar and keeps you young, multiple colors all day.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: And then in addition to that, you know, vegetables. I
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: think you want something we call well vegetables that are
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: that are based with certain polyphenols, and so things like
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: artichokes and things like cabbage and things like that, all
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: these avocado. Avocado is great because essential fatty acids. It's
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: like you have to have that. And you know, when
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: you're eating avocado, it's just like so creamy. You can
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: almost feel like it's going to your skin and your brain.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Really really, I.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Mean it feels like it's feeding me. Yeah, absolutely, I
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: feel bad. I have a friend that's allergic to avocado,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: and I always just think about him and feel bad
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: for him. Anyway, Sorry about that ben but you definitely
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: advise using olive oil as your oil of choice for anything.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: So when you go buy olive oil, buy it in
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: small quantities like little bottles, even though it has an
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: expiration date of two years. The expiration dates based on
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: the oil becoming oxidized, so it doesn't taste good. But
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the polyphenols, which are really important, and you know you
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: have good olive oil when you taste it, it's like peppery.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: It actually burns the back of your throat. Those are
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the polyphenols. But those go away within three months, So
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: don't buy a big oh. I mean, yes, it's going
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: to taste good for three years because it doesn't oxidize.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: But you want to have polyphenols, so I buy a little.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: That's a hot tip right there, Yes, small amounts of
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: all of Well, what's a polyphenol?
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: By the way, Polyphenol is just a molecule and it
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: has a structure that really protects us. It gives up
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: little electrons that's called reducing agents, and that's anti inflammatory,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: so they're powerful anti inflammatory activity. And polyphenols are in
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: so many vegetable based foods it's incredible. So salads and
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: then of course cream beans, and you want to have
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: you know, as many vegetables like colors when you can
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: get carrots, and of course there are so.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Many peppers, yeah, all the colors.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Of course. Yes, some bell peppers or you know, bell
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: peppers have more vitamin C than an orange. Really, that's
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: really high levels.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, so that's great to know it is.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: So what you want to do is you want to
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: do this, you have enough adequate protein. So let's just
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: say you are female and your weights about one hundred
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: twenty pounds.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, but okay, you need.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: To have sixty grams of protein.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: It has sixty grams. What does that like break down
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: to as far as an equation, because I've everybody's hearing
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: it all over the place. Eat half your body weight
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: or is that what?
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's different formulas. And you say you need you know,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: four milligrams per you know whatever kilo or something, I'd
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: just say, you know, someone like you, I'd say sixty
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: grams of protein are important. But if you're a male
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: and you're five ten and you're lifting weights and you
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: may need ninety to one hundred grams of protein average.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Sixty I took yeah, yeah, I took some time. To
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: track my proteins recently to see how I was doing,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: And by like midday, I had already had forty eight
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: grams of protein just based on my protein shake and
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: my protein bar that I'd eaten, and you know, whatever
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: yogurt I had that day. So it really does add
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: up fast. It sounds hot, like kind of daunting the
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: amount that we're supposed to eat, but if you kind
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: of keep track of it, it lets you know that
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: it's not as hard as it sounds.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: You.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I heard you talk recently about nicotine. Why we still
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: we need nicotine? When I thought nicotine was something that
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: we shouldn't be consuming.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, nicotine, of course has a very bad reputation. Yeah,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: because it's found in the tobacco, but there are other
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: ways of getting it, So don't judge people by who
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: they hang around with. And so nicotine like this is
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: what I do all the time. In fact, I forgot
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: to do it before our talk here because I was
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: going to try and life in myself up a little bit.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: But I'm okay, So wait, were you going to slam
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: some nicotine before?
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I have nicorette them everywhere in my oh my gosh,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: and they're like a little way. You know, they're like
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: little they have like a coating of sugar and peppermint.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: I do is I break it up just a little
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: bit with my teeth and then put us up here
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: in this one and this side like a.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Little like a little yeah, and just stay with there, keepsake.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: And then you absorbed the nicotine without swallowing that, because
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: when you swallow the nicotine you tend to get gastritis
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: and kind of reflux.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: EA.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Quick break this crust and then put it up here
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: and just leave it there for twenty thirty minutes and
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: then it's absorbed in your body. And so it really
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: gives you clarity. And the reason I came and said
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: my book this is so important. So I'm doing all
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: this heavy duty research. And there's these receptors on the brain.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: They're called the nicotinic alpha receptors of acetyl colin, and
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: when you occupy that receptor site, it turns inflammation off
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: in your brain, and the brain gives you brain fog
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: and also can lead to cognitive decline as we get older.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Sonatine would be just another great way of doing this. Now,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: the anti inflamatory diet also lowers inflammation in the brain.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: And whenever I'm going to be doing anything on television
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: or I'm giving a talk strict three day diet, and
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: my brain is crisp and clear. But then when I'm
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: not doing that, I'm not highly motivated. So I can
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: wake up with brain fog. But I crawl over this
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: little refrigerator in my bedroom fidging water, which immediately turns
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: off inflammation in the body.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, you're talking my language right now. I need to
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: get rid of the inflammation in my body. I see
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: you drinking hydrogen water. I want to know what that
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: is and why you think it's so important, because I
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: did read about in your book, and I have to say,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I've kind of gone into like a research mode of
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: figuring out what it is and how do I get
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: it and all those things I need to know more.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: You can get it at Amazon.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Uh huh, you can buy Wait, you can buy hydrogen
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: water on places like Amazon. I've never heard of.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: This, Okay, but I've been on Amazon for like seven
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: years now. So here's what happened. I had done so
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: well with my anti inflammatory topicals and my diet and everything,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: said to myself, I would like to give back as
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: thanks to what I discovered, that information was given to
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: me research and so I said, what I want to
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: do is I want to find something that I call
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: the magic bullet. So the magic bullet would be something
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: that would be inexpensive, readily available, non toxic, and the
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: news and I came across this article in a very
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: prestigious journal ten years ago called Nature Medicine, and they
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: were talking about the anti inflammatory antioxidant activity of hydrogen.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Now I'm a biochemist, and hydrogen is something called a
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: non polar molecule. It just means it doesn't have any
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: charge on one side or other and non polar moolicus
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: don't really interact with the body very well. So I
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: was like highly skeptical. So it was coming out of Japan,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: so I said, well, I want to check this out.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: So I flew over to Tokyo and I met with
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: the scientists and met with the manufacturers and learned a lot.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: And then I came back. I'm still skeptical, and I
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: talked to my partner, who was a genius, and I said, listen,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: I one of the things they're touting in Japan, besides
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: the fact that's anti infligmatry and antioxidant. They said, it
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: gives you energy. I said, so I want to can
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: I quantify energy? And two days later he calls me up.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: He said, Nick, good news. He said, the only molecule
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: that will fluoresce under a certain frequency of light is
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: called NAD and that's what mean we can measure energy
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: because you've heard about NAD and everybody buying NAD precursors.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: So I said, this is great. So we went ahead
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: and we did this study. Wasn't huge. It was like
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: fifty people, double blind, placebo controlled, and we had this
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: little strap with an led on their arm, and we
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: took up to our computer and they drank water. They
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: didn't know if they were getting. It was just plain cans.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: They didn't know if it was regular water or hydrogen water,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: and they gulped it down. So I forgot, I'm going
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: to be there all day because it has to go
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: in your mouth, swallow, esophagus, stomach stream, circulate to the
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: farthest part, which is your skin, get into the skin cells,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: then get into the mitochondria. I figur it's just going to.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Take all day, right, It sounds like a process.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I have my feet up and I'm looking
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: at the computer and she drinks it and I didn't
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: even know if it's water or not. Well, also, I
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: started saying, the indicator going like this two and a
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: half minutes because hydrogen it is so tiny, it disperses
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: throughout your entire body in two and a half minutes there,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: and it went up to twelve and a half percent
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: increase in like fifteen minutes and stayed there for hours. So, right,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: you got to throw away NAD. You're spending a lot
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: of money for that.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't even know what NAD is. Can you
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: tell me?
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Well, NAD is is a chemical in a body that
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: basically provides energy. So there's this guy, David Sinclair, and
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: if you can go on YouTube, and he talks a
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: lot about NAD and he has a business of selling
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: NAD chemicals, but they're very expensive, and you can do
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: padging water, okay, And so NAD is what powers your body,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: and it's so incredible. So I was then convinced. I said, okay,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: this is real. Then I went ahead and brought all
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: the equipment from Japan and then built my own manufacturing
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: place and millions of dollars later, Hydron water, but I
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: was eight years too soon.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: So no, eight years too soon.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Now it's come, it's really come alive, and there's nothing
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: more compelling then an idea as time has come.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: So hydrogen water is the magic bullet.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: It is, it's the magic bullet I was looking for.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: And so since no one was buying it, I was
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: giving away cases for people who had issues and such
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: a long list of everything from cancer to bad skin
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: to acne to you know, and sports performance and then.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: What about tummy problems.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Tummy problems. Yes, it's very calming.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: It's it's just like micro biomy stuff.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's like so I got to learn a
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: lot and it's all anecdotal, so I can't tell you
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: about it, but I cannot tell you that whatever the
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: deficit was, they came back to me and said, I
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: am so much better. And so it's just it's just
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: phenomenal because it's such a tiny molecule and it does everything.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: So it's an antioxidant, anti inflammatory, it gives us energy
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: and so it's interesting. I had an interview with a
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: magazine in Long Island in the Hampton and they wanted
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: a two part interview, so I sent a case over
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: to the editor and and then my personal assistant called
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: me and said, oh my god, I just had such
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: a scare. The editor from that magazine called up and
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: she was crying. I said, oh god, what happened?
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: She said?
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: As I asked her, she said, what happened? And she says,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: it's something wrong that well, she said, I've had basically
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: limes disease embedded in my brain for twenty years and
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: brain fog. I drank this since the first time in
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: twenty years. My brain is clear. You turned now she
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: has to do it every day, but it's better for her.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Wow, oh my gosh. I've learned about hydrogen water already
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: from this conversation. Nicotine, how it's not terrible, it's beneficial.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: The molecule a cetacling aceta cole I think you're telling
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: me it again. Let's talk about movement though, Okay. How
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: important is movement?
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Okay? Movement is incredibly important. And so when we exercise,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: and wh I'm not talking you look people over exercise.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: If you're going to the gym and you're there an
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: hour and a half working out, it's counter productive. I mean,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: unless you're like getting ready for some weightlifting contest, which
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: is by the point zero zero zero, yeah, one percent
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: of the population. All you really need to do is
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: just move, And so I do twenty minutes of stretching
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: in the morning. Then every I'd say three times a week,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: I'll do weight resistance. Were not heavy weights. I mean,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: you know, pick them up and do like twenty reps
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: of something and then you just get this really incredible
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: warm feeling because it's it's throwing all of these Basically,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: there's all these switches in our body that respond, and
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: when you do that, we get all kinds of activities.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: We're increasing acetyl colon because muscles are contracting, and then
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: as searchummes. So this is the best part of my research.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: And I can't believe I came across this. I was
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: so happy. They were doing a study looking at a
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: setyl coline as a reparative agent for the cells because
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: it's anti inflammatory. So they fed these little mice or
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: a high fat diet. They probably took them to McDonald's
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: every day, but I don't know how they did it,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: but anyway, and then they did a biopsy and the
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: mitochondria they're supposed to look like little footballs with vertical lines.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: They're all twisted because this high fat diet, same thing
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: happened to us, and then they put them They basically
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: gave them high levels of seedyl colon using a pharmacologic agent,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: which we can do by just in my book, I
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: give you all kinds of foods that increase acetyl coline
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: and one thing that does it really well is meditation.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: So you get in that meditation shure which I have
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: right here, and you are preparing your mitochondria. It's like phenomenal.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, the benefits of meditation just keep getting
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: bigger and bigger and more and more, and I love it.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Well, you're you're basically just your body is just pushing
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: out of setyl colin into every cell when you're meant
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: it really the mitochondria of repairing. So this book is
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: so important and it's not difficult, and you don't have
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: to know all of this stuff.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: You just follow the rules right, and you make it
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: really easy to understand. Like the things that we can
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: do in this day and age to improve are aceto
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: colon levels.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: So there's all different strategies to do that, and they're
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: in the book and they're not difficult, and I talk
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: about people said, I want to know what you do,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: So I do spend time with my routine and why
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: the first thing to do when there's daylight, I go
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: out and I try to look at the lightest part
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: of the sky and it automatically sets your receptors in
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: your brain stem and that controls your metabolism. So I
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: start that every day with that, and then of course
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: I start with my antime inflammatory foods, but really I
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: start with my hygiene water right down and I take
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: a little vitam and see with it. And then I
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: talk about my exercise routine and anti inflammatoria and how
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: important it is the stretching and what you have to do.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: But everything should be in moderation.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: It's so yeah, we just need thirty minutes a day,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: five days.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: A week, right, That's about all you need. And stretching
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: is amazing.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Stretching. I feel like stretching is also connected to the
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: fountain of youth.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: It sure, absolutely, you do a lot of different chemicals
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: in your body their positive. And then I really strongly
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: recommend weight resistance. As we get older, you need to
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: have weight resistance to keep your bone density pretty high.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: And also you need muscle masks, because as your muscle
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: mask goes down, especially your lower back and your gluteal muscles,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: that's when people fall down. Because if they just work
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: and do some weight resistance, they can get use muscles
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: that are strong and they're not going to be falling
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: over and getting hurt.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's so important everyone listening to start
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: working with some weight resistance, even if it's a band
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: or one of those straps, something that you even your
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: own body resistance, but build it up to weights because
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: that I just kind of think of it as me
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: fortifying the muscle that's holding my bone, that's holding it
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: together with the next bone. You know. I just feel
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: like it's so important.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: And you know, muscle is an insulator, so if you
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: do bump into something, you do fall, you have a
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: lot better chance of not having a fracture, right.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Because nobody wants to be that you're frail. You're so
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: much more fragile.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: And the other thing too. It's interesting I talk a
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: little bit about the book, but there are facial exercises
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: that maintain a muscle in your face and that's very important,
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: and so you can do this. So I came across
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: a woman out in California and it's it's called Myofacial
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: and it's done for people with issues. But I tried
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: it and I found that it totally changed my face
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: in so many different ways. So it's in the book
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: and you can you can give her a call and
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: order some of her things. And it's really simple. It's
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: like using elastic bands and a little I don't a
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: little butt and with a little string on it and
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: you put resistance and it does everything. And then also
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: what it does. The reason she does this is people
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: with sleep ATNA once they do these exercises, it strengthens
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: everything and they don't need their seapap anymore.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Oh that's a miracle.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: So this is all, it's all miraculous stuff. I'm so
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: glad I met her.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's so so many things in the book that
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: people really, really, really really need to hear. You also
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: talk about supplementation, which you've always talked about, which I
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: love and I want to get into all of that,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: but I think we'll save that for our second episode.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I think a great way to end this conversation today
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: would be talking about something that's vital is sleep. And
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: you know you mentioned it a little bit when you
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: say you go out in the morning and you look
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: at the brightest spot in the sky, is that you
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: adhering to the masterclock.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Exactly what I'm doing setting that clock. And let me
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: tell you it works sleep and you sleep well in mine.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: But if you don't do that and you stay in
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: a you know, a dark room or whatever, it's not
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: it's not right. And then and so there's so many ways.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: So this moderate exercise helps, anti emplanmatory diet helps. You
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: got to set that little clock outside, get out there
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: and look at the bright the brightness is even a
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: gray day, you spend a little more time out there
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: to get it. Four or five minutes if it's a
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: bright sunny day, maybe fifteen or twenty minutes if it's
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: a gray day. But you are really setting that clock,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: which is critical. You read your book and understand.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: And then that makes it easier for us to go
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: and get that sleep that we need every night we do.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you before we end this episode,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: the doctor Paracone, what was your last I choose me moment?
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, that is a great question. Okay, christ let me
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: give you some background. I believe, I believe as a
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: human being and as a physician with thousands of patients,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: that we all have a mission on this planet, and
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: everybody knows that mission is for themselves. I've never asked
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: a person like and I say, you know, you're right
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: if it's there, it's there in your head, okay, and
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: this mission is something that's going to help other people. Okay.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Before you help other people, you have to take care
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: of yourself. And that's your IE MEU moment. Okay. So
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: what I do is I take care of myself because
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: I have to have a sound body, mind, energy, good
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: immune system, because I've had a lot of work to
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: do because I took on a real big mission here,
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: and so you've got to take care yourself first. That's
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: your IE memo. Once you do that, then you have
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: the energy, the health, and the motivation to fulfill that
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: dream of whatever that mission is yours. And you know
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: your mission. I know, I've never talked to someone who
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: didn't know their mission. It's like almost sub conscious. So
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: your I memo is very important because then you implement
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: and you can help thousands and thousands of people.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I do love that because a lot of people kind
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: of misconceive the concept of I choose me and think
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: that it's selfish when I try to remind them that
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: it's vital to our well being, into the well being
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: of everybody in our lives.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Well, parents have to take care of themselves. You have
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: to take care of their children. I know that, and
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: they know if they're like, you know, not getting enough
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: sleep or doing too many things, it's just not good.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: So we're all parents of basically the people in the world.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're older, we've been here, we're successful. Then
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: we have time for us to do something. But you
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: can start early on. I worked with children when I
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: was an undergraduate and in the inner city in Connecticut
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: and a New Haven, and that stuck with me, and
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: I know you can do so much for these kids.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: And then when you go on and so I always
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: wanted to be a doctor. I always wanted to be
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: able to help people. And so I'm really happy. I
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: don't think I've ever worked a day in my life
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: because I love what I'm doing. And you all have
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: that thing to do. So o your mission and cure
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: yourself first, yes, and then you put on your soldier
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: suit and go out and do your job.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, Oh my gosh, so much more to talk about.
• 32:54
