  I honestly can't even wrap my head around this, but it's a new drink.
• 0:04
  It's marketing to children and it's got 189 grams of sugar in one drink.
• 0:11
  Wow.
• 0:12
  Yeah.
• 0:12
  I mean, that, look, again, that's criminal.
• 0:14
  That, that, that's just poisoning people.
• 0:30
  All right, everybody.
• 0:40
  Welcome back to another episode of the Space Tomatoes podcast.
• 0:43
  I'm one of your hosts, Havoc.
• 0:45
  I'm the other guy, LX.
• 0:47
  Hello.
• 0:47
  Welcome back.
• 0:48
  There's that other guy.
• 0:49
  We love him.
• 0:51
  Today we have with us a special guest, Graham Hawley, a wellness coach.
• 0:56
  And welcome to the show, Graham.
• 0:58
  Well, thank you, gentlemen.
• 1:00
  I appreciate the invite.
• 1:02
  So what is a wellness coach?
• 1:06
  Oh, well, that's a good question because I think it seems to be a relatively new profession out there.
• 1:12
  A certified health and wellness coach.
• 1:14
  And what I do is I help people identify their unhealthy habits around what I call the five pillars of health.
• 1:23
  Nutrition
• 1:24
  Exercise and movement
• 1:27
  Sleep quality, stress management
• 1:29
  And being mindful of their alcohol consumption
• 1:32
  Because
• 1:33
  You know
• 1:35
  We have a
• 1:37
  I won't even call it an epidemic
• 1:38
  We have a pandemic going on
• 1:40
  Of lifestyle conditions
• 1:42
  You want to call them
• 1:43
  Which is weight gain, type 2 diabetes
• 1:46
  High blood pressure
• 1:48
  Gut issues
• 1:50
  You throw dementia in the ADHD
• 1:52
  autism we've got all these skin issues even cancer certain types of cancer are just going
• 1:59
  through the roof and all this has changed all this has really accelerated should i say over the last
• 2:07
  35 years or so because prior to that everything i just mentioned well they were rare they were
• 2:15
  absolutely rare and now it's rare if you don't have one of those or many of those conditions
• 2:22
  so let me just tell you how I got into this because I've only been a certified health and
• 2:29
  wellness coach for six years now after watching both my brother and my father become debilitated
• 2:36
  through other conditions their type 2 diabetes had caused them I wondered if I was setting myself up
• 2:43
  for well type 2 diabetes and as I delved into the research and studies well it took me down this
• 2:51
  rabbit hole because I couldn't believe what I was finding out. And then what I was finding out is
• 2:59
  that big food, basically are producing food that is damaging the human body.
• 3:07
  Now, that might sound controversial, but it's the truth. It's the truth. The human body is not
• 3:15
  designed for all the unhealthy ingredients in fast food, processed food, and sugary drinks.
• 3:24
  Period.
• 3:25
  Right?
• 3:25
  There's no argument.
• 3:26
  No one can argue with that.
• 3:29
  Yet, we've slowly been indoctrinated over this last 35 years, or we've slid into instant
• 3:37
  gratification, quick fixes.
• 3:40
  Everybody, well, not everybody, but majority of people have moved away from eating.
• 3:45
  Real food.
• 3:47
  It's not real food, right?
• 3:49
  Whatever way you want to look at it, it's manufactured, man-made, cleverly made by scientists to be addictive.
• 3:59
  Well, we often, quite often, actually describe that as poison, not food.
• 4:08
  Well, I mean, yeah, I do too.
• 4:09
  Yeah, it's passed off as food.
• 4:12
  And because of the misinformation, the disinformation, deceptive packaging by food companies, people actually think that they're eating healthy when it comes down to nutrition.
• 4:23
  But again, we've been, here's what I say, when you've been told a lie long enough, it becomes the truth.
• 4:29
  We've been told nothing but lies.
• 4:31
  And I also say if you don't educate yourself
• 4:35
  Or be educated in today's world
• 4:37
  2026
• 4:39
  Then you're going to drift into metabolic dysfunction
• 4:45
  Because here's what I think a lot of people don't realise
• 4:48
  It can take years, even decades
• 4:51
  For these symptoms to show up
• 4:54
  Like type 2 diabetes
• 4:56
  You don't wake up one morning with type 2 diabetes
• 4:59
  That happens over years and years.
• 5:04
  Slow build of insulin resistance and then it turns into pre and then diabetes high blood pressure People I say the average person has no idea why they have belly fat
• 5:19
  or they've put a load of weight on, because even when you go to your doctor,
• 5:25
  I mean, I wouldn't even call it a healthcare system anymore.
• 5:28
  It's disease management at the GP level, right?
• 5:32
  You go with symptoms, they don't go,
• 5:34
  okay, your blood pressure's high, let's have a look now.
• 5:36
  I mean, I tell you right now, to normalize your blood pressure and to lose weight is ridiculously easy.
• 5:46
  It is.
• 5:47
  It's ridiculously easy.
• 5:49
  It's defense.
• 5:50
  Just literally cut two things out of your diet, sugar and carbs.
• 5:55
  Well, I know.
• 5:56
  I say this, mate.
• 5:56
  Yeah, two things.
• 5:57
  Let's call it three things.
• 5:59
  Fast food, processed food, and sugary drinks because they all have the ingredients you're talking about.
• 6:06
  And that is the problem
• 6:09
  Here's another problem
• 6:10
  Is we've slowly led to believe
• 6:12
  That three meals a day and snacking
• 6:15
  Is the way to go
• 6:16
  If you're feeling a little hungry
• 6:19
  We've got a snack for you
• 6:20
  Full of sugar, unhealthy fats and seed oils
• 6:23
  Oh, it's got chemicals in there
• 6:25
  But hey, don't say anything
• 6:27
  It won't, no
• 6:28
  It's absolutely criminal as far as I think
• 6:31
  And this is why I have this passion now
• 6:33
  After watching both my brother and my father
• 6:35
  Have heart attacks
• 6:36
  My brother lost a percent of his eyesight, bleeding ulcers, liver damage, kidney damage, five years housebound for my dad, sarcopenia.
• 6:44
  I mean, you name it.
• 6:46
  Between them, they've had everything.
• 6:48
  My father passed away riddle with gangrene.
• 6:51
  So, I think back to you, I got off your question there, but back to what I do.
• 6:57
  And this is simple too.
• 6:58
  And this is why I wrote this book here, look.
• 7:01
  Small steps, big, big results from a whole food diet.
• 7:06
  because I wrote this book because in the beginning,
• 7:10
  I've only been in this for six years,
• 7:12
  but in the beginning when I make sure that I wasn't setting myself up for this,
• 7:17
  I took a six-month nutrition certification course.
• 7:22
  And even at the end of that,
• 7:23
  I really weren't planning on being a health and wellness coach.
• 7:29
  I started to help friends.
• 7:32
  And before they knew it, they were losing weight.
• 7:34
  And those who were on any medications, it wasn't too long, they were heading back to the doctors who were reducing and then eliminating the medications.
• 7:43
  But they're now alive and thriving.
• 7:47
  And then I started to, well, friends of friends.
• 7:50
  And then I've just moved into now.
• 7:53
  I sort of semi-retired.
• 7:55
  I'm 68 now, but I retired.
• 7:58
  What was it?
• 7:58
  65.
• 7:59
  So prior to that, I had, I mean, I had clients for years.
• 8:02
  I wasn't even charging.
• 8:03
  I just have this passion.
• 8:05
  I charge clients now because I'm providing a service.
• 8:09
  So, you know, I'm entitled to, one could say.
• 8:13
  You've viewed.
• 8:14
  Yeah.
• 8:14
  So it's just, I don't know.
• 8:17
  There really is no education out there.
• 8:20
  So I'm just trying to get my message out there to as many millions as I can,
• 8:23
  whether it be through a podcast, one-on-one.
• 8:26
  I've just recently moved into educating families.
• 8:30
  I went into families the other week.
• 8:32
  and by the time I'd left there, they were shocked
• 8:35
  the parents were shocked
• 8:37
  I went through the pantry, the kitchen, the cupboard
• 8:39
  and they were shocked at what they're feeding the kids
• 8:42
  so in parents' defence and even in anybody's defence
• 8:46
  it's not their fault
• 8:49
  now there are people out there who know they shouldn't be
• 8:52
  eating what they're eating
• 8:55
  they're leading a sedentary lifestyle and they know they shouldn't be
• 8:59
  they're drinking too much alcohol
• 9:00
  There are plenty of people out there, but I'm not aiming at them people.
• 9:05
  I'm aiming at people who, when they find out, they're shocked, just like I was.
• 9:09
  In fact, a little more than shocked, they're angry.
• 9:12
  That we've been lighter, and they're allowing all these chemicals
• 9:16
  and unhealthy ingredients in food, which you're making now from five years of age
• 9:21
  until you're dead.
• 9:24
  It's affecting everybody.
• 9:26
  It's not just affecting a certain demographic.
• 9:29
  It's the same in my country of origin, England.
• 9:32
  You go to the doctors, like my dad and my brother, they put you on a pill.
• 9:37
  It's quite disturbing, guys.
• 9:39
  It's disturbing to me.
• 9:42
  Well, yeah, the medical community is, I would say, their sole purpose at this point is symptom management.
• 9:50
  They don't treat diabetes.
• 9:52
  They treat the of diabetes.
• 9:53
  Both LX and I have made a huge journey on that.
• 9:58
  We're both homesteaders.
• 10:00
  I'm a farmsteader.
• 10:02
  That's right.
• 10:02
  I raise chickens, turkeys, geese, horses, goats.
• 10:07
  Oh, brilliant, mate, yeah.
• 10:08
  And we grow a ton of our own food.
• 10:13
  And one of the things I think is really cool,
• 10:17
  and I actually watched I think it was a little over four video you did on the food pyramid is that you know now there some recognition that the food pyramid was blatantly upside down right
• 10:30
  Without question.
• 10:32
  All the stuff you need as the base, it should, should have been on the bottom and it has never.
• 10:37
  And, you know, LX actually, you know, has, has a really, you know, I think a profound story around these changes.
• 10:46
  And, you know, maybe he can share that with us.
• 10:50
  Sure.
• 10:51
  I'd love to hear that, yeah.
• 10:54
  No, I was down that road.
• 10:56
  I was 285 pounds at my heaviest.
• 10:58
  I had an A1C of like 14.
• 11:03
  And, you know, like the doctors, they were going all at me.
• 11:06
  This is not going to work.
• 11:07
  But, of course, the biggest obstacle is wanting to make those changes.
• 11:11
  And at that point, I wasn't interested.
• 11:14
  I wanted my 12-pack of Coca-Cola every day.
• 11:17
  I wanted the pizza, the McDonald's, all the garbage.
• 11:20
  And, you know, later in life, I came to the realization, I'm not even sure how I landed there, but, you know, now we're doing the two meals a day and two days a week.
• 11:31
  My wife and I, we do the 24 hour fast.
• 11:34
  I love it.
• 11:35
  And when we shop at the grocery store, we only shop the periphery of the store.
• 11:40
  Basically the vegetables, the fresh things and nothing in the middle.
• 11:45
  That's where all the real food is, is around the perimeter.
• 11:49
  Right.
• 11:50
  I mean, we'd much rather have it, you know, ourselves, but what we can't produce or find locally.
• 11:56
  And look, if we'd be honest, most people, most people are not in a position to grow their own foods and animals.
• 12:05
  And, you know, you guys are fortunate to have farms.
• 12:07
  You can do that.
• 12:09
  But the average person isn't.
• 12:11
  What is your A1C now and what's considered normal?
• 12:15
  mine is 5.2 that's great what's but i mean the whole time you know they had me on the you know
• 12:23
  the genuine and the injectables and you know now i'm on nothing but you know they're they tell me
• 12:28
  that that's not reversible you'll have it forever yeah i know that's another thing to tell people
• 12:33
  it's what they told my brother and my father and even i've had clients come to for me to lose weight
• 12:38
  because i don't really advertise i can reverse people well i kind of do but don't but again i
• 12:44
  clients come to me to lose weight and they go, you know, I'm a type 2 diabetic. I go, oh, man,
• 12:49
  well, yeah, a good chance we can get rid of it. No, no, no, no. My doctor said I'm going to have
• 12:53
  this for life. I said, well, you know what? No offense, but your doctor's lying. It's just not
• 12:58
  true. I'm not saying 100% of people are reversible, but majority, if not a really high percentage are.
• 13:07
  Yeah. I think honestly, you know, again, you laid it out, right? You're five steps right there.
• 13:14
  our key.
• 13:15
  There's look,
• 13:16
  and here's,
• 13:17
  here's the other piece to this,
• 13:18
  right?
• 13:18
  I am not strict 365 days a year.
• 13:22
  You know,
• 13:23
  we will have a vacation or something and pizza will come out.
• 13:27
  Look,
• 13:27
  you don't have to be,
• 13:28
  it's not about being perfect.
• 13:29
  It's about being consistent.
• 13:31
  It is.
• 13:32
  And it's about,
• 13:33
  you know,
• 13:33
  treating those things as what they should be,
• 13:35
  which is a treat,
• 13:37
  right?
• 13:37
  A normal.
• 13:38
  Exactly.
• 13:39
  Exactly.
• 13:40
  Yeah.
• 13:40
  Yeah.
• 13:41
  Mm-hmm.
• 13:42
  And then,
• 13:43
  And let's just say pizza, for instance, just so your listeners can understand this.
• 13:50
  It's in the order of which you eat your food, too.
• 13:53
  Like if you just said, oh, I'm going to have two slices of pizza, well, your blood sugar is going to be spiking for hours.
• 13:59
  But if you add a salad first and then add a slice of pizza, you get a very different story there.
• 14:08
  Very different story.
• 14:09
  yeah i don't even eat bread anymore i don't i don't i won't touch american bread
• 14:16
  it's full of glyphosate what i have 15 15 ingredients is bread
• 14:22
  seed oils seed oils glyphosate from the wheat as well as you know almost every single loaf of
• 14:31
  bread you pick up in any store unless it's fresh made bread right which should have like three or
• 14:37
  four ingredients. Which is hard to find, let me tell you. It is. And almost all that stuff contains
• 14:43
  corn syrup as well. Corn syrup is sugar. Sugar will cause you health problems, especially if
• 14:50
  you're eating it. I mean, if you look in the middle of the store and start going through packaged foods,
• 14:56
  look for corn syrup, maltodextrin, things of this. There's 26 different names for sugars. So it's
• 15:03
  It's that sugar-free.
• 15:05
  Let's have it.
• 15:06
  Great.
• 15:06
  It's like sugar-free Coke, whatever you call it.
• 15:09
  Okay, it's got the sugar in, but I scanned it with the Yucca app.
• 15:14
  It's got six hazardous chemicals in.
• 15:17
  Okay, you're not getting sugar, but you're getting all these chemicals.
• 15:20
  But you're not getting your sugar, so, you know, you're happy with it.
• 15:24
  I'm a big fan of single-ingredient food.
• 15:27
  Absolutely.
• 15:28
  Like I said, you want to drink fluids, you should be drinking water.
• 15:32
  Yep Now I not saying there you go yeah and preferably not out of a plastic bottle right I know it all sounds silly but it what people are rubbing on the skin
• 15:42
  putting under their armpits, brushing the teeth with.
• 15:47
  Sunscreen, but you wonder why skin cancer's gone through the roof.
• 15:51
  Well, maybe stop rubbing the carcinogenic creams they put out there.
• 15:55
  And again, in people's defense, they don't know.
• 15:58
  They just don't know.
• 15:59
  uh you know the it's it's even further than that i think right there's there's a lot of i guess it
• 16:06
  would be cognitive dissonance that comes in like if you try and tell someone about seed oils like
• 16:12
  vegetable oil it is an industrial lubricant meant for lubrication that's what it was designed for
• 16:18
  yeah yeah so you are ingesting the equivalent of a refined grease that's not cool and even when i
• 16:28
  when you tell people and maybe people know they're still using it it's like if you eat anything fried
• 16:35
  it's been fried in that yep you know i go for happy hour which i've been going for for 10 years
• 16:42
  with a bunch of me actually it's my ex-boss me and him started it when we worked together 10 years
• 16:48
  10 11 years ago i don't work for him now but i still go for this happy hour and i know they're
• 16:55
  only joking but they always they always order onion rings and all this fried stuff and they go
• 17:02
  go on graham have an onion ring it won't kill you i go i know it won't kill and i know they're
• 17:08
  joking i know they're joking but but people out there what they're not realizing is
• 17:13
  it's the accumulation at the end of the day the end of the week the end of the month the end of
• 17:22
  the year, the end of the decade of that accumulation of every single thing you're putting in your body,
• 17:30
  you're rubbing on your skin on a daily, weekly, monthly basis is what slowly starts to accumulate.
• 17:37
  And then you start to get symptoms. Yeah. It's, it's the, the age old thing, right? I mean,
• 17:44
  they tell us, so, you know, this toxin is safe. It's not safe. You're just saying that at a
• 17:51
  minute level it won't produce any measurable toxicity for you today but if you're exposed
• 17:58
  to it on a daily basis over a period of weeks months years decades yeah it absolutely achemates
• 18:05
  absolutely first of all why would you put want to put any chemical in your body or on your skin
• 18:11
  regardless how little it may affect you again the human body is not designed for
• 18:18
  the plethora of unhealthy ingredients and oh man it's just and you wonder i mean it don't
• 18:27
  surprise me i tell you what i'll put and put money on it within the next five ten years
• 18:31
  we'll have teenagers having heart attacks because this is this isn't going away the only way it's
• 18:38
  going to go away is if you educate yourself or be educated and you're getting your quality meat
• 18:44
  from somewhere you're getting your quality veggies i don't it's not often i really shop in
• 18:48
  supermarkets anymore because i don't even trust them even when it says you know 100 i get all my
• 18:55
  meats from i know i don't know where the farms are coming from but and it's you know i gotta pay for
• 19:01
  it obviously gotta pay through the nose for it but but the best thing you can do is try and at
• 19:07
  least buy organic and eat real food yeah that's where you've got to start and i think you touched
• 19:15
  on it the cost of things is a is a big factor i mean for a lot of people they're working on a
• 19:20
  budget and i think they've designed it so that the stuff that's affordable is the worst stuff you
• 19:26
  could possibly put into your body all the stuff they're giving away at like the food pantries and
• 19:30
  Yeah, oh, yeah.
• 19:30
  Poison.
• 19:31
  Yeah, no, I know.
• 19:32
  Yeah, no, I know.
• 19:34
  But here's the thing, but, and I've had this, not a debate, but I've spoke about this a while, is, yes, you're right.
• 19:43
  It can be expensive eating healthy.
• 19:45
  However, I'm like you, well, I know you said you have two meals a day.
• 19:50
  What about you, Abba?
• 19:51
  How many did you have?
• 19:52
  Typically two meals.
• 19:53
  Right, same.
• 19:54
  So if you break it down when you were having three meals a day and snacking in between, and then having three Starbucks a day, two Starbucks a day, when you add all that up and then you break it down.
• 20:06
  Now, I know you're not going to wake up one morning from having three meals and snacking to go to two meals.
• 20:11
  And that's why I call my program Small Steps, because you slowly over the weeks, first of all, reduce your snacks.
• 20:18
  And if you start your first meal of the day with real nutritious whole food, that will trigger the hormone GLP-1.
• 20:30
  We naturally produce GLP-1.
• 20:33
  So when you're eating real food, then it'll satiate you.
• 20:37
  You don't think about snacking.
• 20:39
  That's true.
• 20:39
  Just like you guys.
• 20:41
  I'm the same.
• 20:41
  I have my first.
• 20:42
  I eat now in a six-hour window between around, give or take, noon and six o'clock.
• 20:48
  I have that first meal.
• 20:50
  I know I'm getting, you know, 40, 50 grams of protein, fiber, healthy fats, avocado, and I'm satiated.
• 20:59
  Two hours later, I'm not even, four hours later, I'm not even going, hmm, what can I have?
• 21:06
  And if I do...
• 21:07
  Havoc picks on me a little bit because I'm on a schedule.
• 21:11
  So we eat lunch about 10.30, and then we eat dinner at four o'clock, and that's it.
• 21:17
  I love it, man.
• 21:18
  I love your eating early.
• 21:19
  That's a good, I mean, on that evening meal, because that's another people's problem.
• 21:24
  They're eating and snacking, watching TV before they go to bed.
• 21:28
  Pick it on you, buddy.
• 21:30
  Yeah, so I have this, so, you know, I'm a big fan of, you know, single syllable foods,
• 21:38
  or not syllable, single ingredient foods, meat, you know, cheese, you know, these types of things.
• 21:43
  Yeah.
• 21:44
  And, you know, what I've found is when I'm eating like that, I only want to eat twice a day.
• 21:50
  Yeah.
• 21:50
  And what I've found for me that works and, you know, maybe I'm wrong.
• 21:55
  Maybe I should change this.
• 21:56
  I don't know.
• 21:57
  But I just eat when I am actually hungry.
• 22:01
  And I, you know, I eat, sometimes I eat very late at night, sometimes earlier, but I just wait until my body is like, yeah.
• 22:10
  Until your body's telling you, well, that's a good thing.
• 22:12
  Eating late at night is not good for your sleep and recovery.
• 22:16
  It's going to work out okay for me.
• 22:18
  I don't know.
• 22:19
  I don't have any issues.
• 22:20
  Well, again, you've got to look at science and studies,
• 22:23
  and you can say that, but the truth is your body can't heal,
• 22:29
  do its job when it's full of food and you go to bed.
• 22:32
  Just can't.
• 22:33
  Okay.
• 22:34
  Just can't.
• 22:34
  I mean, science is true.
• 22:35
  I've found for me one of the bigger changes for me
• 22:40
  has been what I do about sleep.
• 22:44
  You know, when I go to sleep,
• 22:45
  like no screens for hours before bed.
• 22:49
  That's good.
• 22:50
  Yeah, that's part of the sleep routine.
• 22:52
  I leave the window blinds open.
• 22:55
  And in the morning,
• 22:56
  I wake up typically between 6.30 a.m. and 7.30 a.m.
• 23:01
  No alarm.
• 23:02
  I wake up because it's light out
• 23:05
  and my body goes,
• 23:06
  yeah, we're good.
• 23:07
  Time to wake up.
• 23:07
  We're done sleeping.
• 23:08
  And I can tell you with absolute certainty after doing this for well over a year that if I have to wake up to an alarm for whatever, a work meeting, whatever the case may be, even if it's only like 10 minutes before I would have naturally woken up, I feel like absolute crap.
• 23:27
  Absolute for hours and hours.
• 23:30
  But if I just wake up naturally, I feel absolutely refreshed and ready to go.
• 23:35
  Yeah, I mean, yeah, that is definitely not everybody.
• 23:39
  I'm the same.
• 23:40
  I don't set me alarm because I don't have to be up early anyway.
• 23:44
  So, but a lot of people can't do that.
• 23:46
  So, you know, as regards sleep, there is an evening routine and a morning routine that I think most people are probably not even aware of.
• 23:56
  And by adhering to the morning routine and the evening routine, that's how you set your circadian rhythm.
• 24:04
  Yep.
• 24:04
  That's how you get quality sleep, deep sleep, good quality REM sleep.
• 24:09
  It's where the cleaners go in.
• 24:11
  They have to get rid of the metabolic and pathogenic waste,
• 24:15
  what you're built up over the day.
• 24:17
  When you're sleeping, that's what your body's working to get rid of things.
• 24:23
  And like you said, you know, if you're sat watching a screen before I go to bed
• 24:27
  with all this blue and you're probably watching something negative as well,
• 24:32
  or you're on your phone scrolling, that is not the way to end your day.
• 24:37
  Here's what the science has proven and this recommend is,
• 24:42
  yeah, no food or alcohol at least three hours before.
• 24:46
  And then at least an hour before.
• 24:49
  I'm more like you, in fact, I don't watch TV.
• 24:51
  I'm watching TV now because I'm watching the World Cup.
• 24:54
  But fortunately, it's not on late.
• 24:56
  So, yeah, so your screen's off at least an hour before.
• 25:02
  Dim the lights.
• 25:03
  Listen to a podcast.
• 25:05
  Listen to your favorite comedian.
• 25:07
  Then you're telling your body it's time to wind down.
• 25:10
  And then when it comes, ideally a cool bedroom, and they say dark.
• 25:18
  And then there's the morning routine.
• 25:20
  And I think most people definitely don't do this because most people wake up,
• 25:24
  They go straight for the caffeine.
• 25:26
  They're scrolling on the phone.
• 25:28
  They're on their emails.
• 25:29
  They're getting stressed out because what people, I don't think, realize when you wake up on the morning, your body naturally produces cortisol.
• 25:37
  That goes back from the beginning of man.
• 25:42
  So your body's releasing cortisol.
• 25:44
  Now it's up to us to let it know that everything's okay.
• 25:48
  There's not a tiger or a lion outside the cave.
• 25:51
  So you have to I say your morning routine should be a warm up and not straight out the starting blocks So ideally you need to hydrate You had no hydration for probably eight nine ten hours I put some Mediterranean sea salt a squeeze of lemon a squeeze of lime
• 26:12
  Hydrate for the first, I mean, try and keep away from caffeine, I'd say, for an hour.
• 26:18
  So hydrate and then just move your body, nothing extreme.
• 26:22
  Just do some squats.
• 26:23
  Hold on to your kitchen countertop or your sink and do ten squats.
• 26:27
  Do some push-ups off the wall.
• 26:29
  Just, you know, wave your arms around.
• 26:32
  Ideally, they say, step outside.
• 26:35
  It doesn't even have to be sunny.
• 26:36
  Just look.
• 26:38
  Now, you've already, by doing that, you've signaled to your body.
• 26:42
  Everything's fine.
• 26:42
  You're hydrating it.
• 26:44
  Your blood's moving around your body a bit better now, and it's moving.
• 26:47
  Your organs are waking up.
• 26:50
  And then you step outside, and it's like, ideally, go for a little walk if you can.
• 26:55
  Great.
• 26:56
  If you have a dog, this is the best time to walk your dog.
• 26:59
  And I guarantee you, you do that for a week or so,
• 27:03
  you come back in the house, you won't be looking for caffeine.
• 27:06
  You'll be awake and you'll feel good.
• 27:08
  You'll be alive.
• 27:10
  People are dragging their ass when they get out of bed.
• 27:13
  Oh, I've got to have my caffeine.
• 27:15
  Oh, I better have another one.
• 27:16
  I'm still, you know, and then they bombard themselves
• 27:19
  with all this negative, whether it be politics or emails from work.
• 27:24
  Not the way to start your day
• 27:26
  So that evening routine
• 27:27
  And that morning routine
• 27:29
  Again, what I found
• 27:31
  Well, not what I found
• 27:33
  To say this is what science is proving
• 27:35
  That these five pillars
• 27:37
  What I mentioned
• 27:38
  They don't work independently
• 27:41
  So if you're going to ignore one of them
• 27:44
  Or push one to one side
• 27:45
  Well, eventually
• 27:47
  It will catch up with you
• 27:50
  It's easier now than ever
• 27:53
  to develop lifestyle disease.
• 27:55
  And like we all agree,
• 27:56
  can take years, even decades.
• 27:58
  And that's the problem.
• 27:59
  People go, well, I feel okay.
• 28:02
  I feel great.
• 28:04
  Well, sure, maybe you do.
• 28:06
  But what about, what do you think,
• 28:09
  do you ever consider or imagine
• 28:10
  what your health might be like
• 28:12
  in 10, 15, 20 plus years from now?
• 28:15
  And the way most people are going,
• 28:18
  they're not going to be healthy.
• 28:20
  Yeah, it's almost encouraged.
• 28:22
  and lifestyle, you know?
• 28:25
  I mean.
• 28:25
  It's absolutely encouraged,
• 28:27
  whether it be TV ads, billboards,
• 28:29
  95% of the supermarket.
• 28:32
  Yeah, it's encouraged.
• 28:33
  Just going to coffee, right?
• 28:35
  People, you know, I hear all the time,
• 28:37
  oh, I want to go get coffee.
• 28:39
  And I'm like.
• 28:40
  Why?
• 28:41
  I don't get it.
• 28:42
  You're not getting coffee.
• 28:43
  You don't have energy.
• 28:44
  You think you really need an energy drink?
• 28:47
  A sugar bomb?
• 28:48
  That's another one.
• 28:49
  Exactly.
• 28:49
  I mean, when it comes to teenagers
• 28:51
  with the,
• 28:52
  the stats are saying
• 28:54
  that 50% of teenagers
• 28:56
  are walking around
• 28:57
  with prediabetes,
• 28:59
  developing fatty liver,
• 29:00
  and they ain't got a clue.
• 29:02
  Because again,
• 29:03
  you know,
• 29:03
  it might be 10 years
• 29:04
  before they start
• 29:05
  to get symptoms.
• 29:07
  But all these sports drinks
• 29:09
  and energy drinks,
• 29:11
  I've seen 65 grams
• 29:13
  of sugar in there.
• 29:15
  Yeah.
• 29:16
  They actually came out
• 29:17
  with a new drink
• 29:18
  and I can't remember
• 29:18
  the company of it.
• 29:19
  And I honestly can't even wrap my head around this, but it's a new drink.
• 29:26
  It's marketing to children, and it's got 189 grams of sugar in one drink.
• 29:33
  Wow.
• 29:34
  Yeah.
• 29:34
  I mean, look, again, that's criminal.
• 29:36
  That's just poisoning people.
• 29:39
  Yeah, it is bizarre what's going on.
• 29:40
  I mean, I'm having a hard time getting my head around it, to tell you the truth, fellas.
• 29:47
  It's just like it should not be going on.
• 29:49
  America is a progressive, successful.
• 29:55
  You want to be an entrepreneur?
• 29:56
  Come to America, right?
• 29:58
  You want a good life?
• 29:59
  Come to America.
• 30:00
  You want to be sick?
• 30:02
  Yeah, come to America.
• 30:03
  We'll make you sick.
• 30:05
  I mean, it just shouldn't be happening.
• 30:07
  It's all for profit.
• 30:07
  We know why it's going on.
• 30:09
  I don't know.
• 30:10
  I don't know what to say.
• 30:12
  I am glad, and I'm not going down a political road here,
• 30:16
  But I am glad to see that the, I forget his name, the Kennedy guy, at least is talking about, you know, some of these products in children's food.
• 30:28
  But he should be just talking about the food in general, not just children's food.
• 30:35
  It's the food in general.
• 30:37
  But they all get quiet and they all get silenced.
• 30:41
  They all get the social media shut down if they start talking.
• 30:44
  I mean, I won't know probably half as much as I know if I didn't follow all the doctors I follow who have left the conventional medical system.
• 30:54
  You call them whistleblowers, call them what you want.
• 30:57
  But they're talking about how broken the system is.
• 31:02
  It's absolutely broken.
• 31:04
  And I have the same thing when I go to I got a great story for you and I got a great story listeners need to know and the only reason I telling this because people need to know that this goes on it two years ago now because this really is more rampant than you think
• 31:22
  two years ago now I went I had made myself to hospital to the emergency room one evening
• 31:29
  I got a pain in my bladder and it got really really bad I couldn't even walk I was drip white
• 31:36
  and I was sweating profusely like I'm never sweating my life.
• 31:40
  Anyway, my ex-partner took me to the emergency.
• 31:43
  I couldn't even walk in there.
• 31:45
  They wheeled me in in a wheelchair.
• 31:48
  Put me on this bed, drew some blood, and I'm laid there.
• 31:51
  There's a couple of nurses in the room, and I turn to them,
• 31:54
  and it says, through me moaning and groaning,
• 31:57
  hey, girls, I need to blow wind.
• 31:59
  And they're like, yeah, I've had it.
• 32:01
  Well, frickin' hell, I mean, I shook the building and cleared the room.
• 32:06
  And within seconds, that horrendous pain and sweating dissipate.
• 32:15
  I could not believe it.
• 32:17
  I got off the bed and I thought, let me do some jumping jacks,
• 32:21
  see if I'm feeling any pain deep inside.
• 32:24
  I'm doing some jumping jacks and the doctor walks in.
• 32:27
  He's like, whoa, whoa, what are you doing, Mr. Orley?
• 32:29
  I told him why I was doing these jumping.
• 32:32
  No, no, no, let's have you back on the bed.
• 32:33
  It says we found some, this is a wild story
• 32:37
  It says we found some troponin in your blood
• 32:40
  Well, I knew what troponin was
• 32:43
  But I didn't know this about troponin
• 32:45
  Anytime your body's under due stress
• 32:51
  It's just a defense mechanism
• 32:56
  Your heart will release troponin
• 32:58
  It's defending itself
• 32:59
  Now, if you're having a heart attack
• 33:01
  We're talking of 3,000, 3,500, 4,000.
• 33:05
  Mine was 17.
• 33:09
  Wow.
• 33:09
  That's no cause to think that someone's having a heart attack.
• 33:15
  So he said, we're keeping you in.
• 33:18
  Overnight, we're going to do stress test, and we're going to do a scan on you.
• 33:21
  I'm like, okay, because I didn't know what I just told you.
• 33:27
  So they wheeled me down in the morning.
• 33:29
  They got me on this scan, laid me on my back, scanned me,
• 33:36
  put me in the wheelchair, wheeled me over to the treadmill,
• 33:40
  and she's got me like speed walking on there.
• 33:43
  I'm like, I said, turn it up, love, you know.
• 33:46
  I said, I'm thinking, I play soccer three times a week.
• 33:49
  I run around like a lunatic for two hours.
• 33:52
  I have no symptoms at all of any blockage.
• 33:57
  Anyway, I'm sprinting on there, sprinting.
• 33:59
  Anyway, she wraps that up, gets me back in the wheelchair,
• 34:03
  takes me over, lays me on my stomach to scan me back.
• 34:06
  Well, also being a photographer, and I know that's a photography machine,
• 34:12
  whatever way you want to look at it, I'm like,
• 34:14
  how are they going to get a clear picture when my heart is absolutely pounding
• 34:19
  ten to the dozen?
• 34:21
  They're not.
• 34:23
  Anyway, they wheeled me back up to the room and they kept me in there.
• 34:26
  I remember they kept me in hospital, concerned I was having a heart attack.
• 34:30
  They kept me in that room for six hours.
• 34:32
  No one came to see me.
• 34:35
  Five o'clock, there's a knock on the door.
• 34:38
  Nurse and the sidekick.
• 34:41
  Sidekick sits over in a chair.
• 34:43
  I sat on the bed and the cardiologist stood next to me.
• 34:48
  Another knock on the door.
• 34:49
  Ex-partner came straight from work.
• 34:52
  She sat next to the sidekick.
• 34:54
  She says, yeah, Mr. Rowley.
• 34:55
  I'm sorry to have to inform you, but we found a blockage in your heart.
• 35:00
  And I've scheduled you for an angioplasty in the morning,
• 35:03
  which is a stent in your heart.
• 35:06
  I thought, okay, here we go.
• 35:08
  Knowing what I know, I says, and she had the report in her hand.
• 35:12
  I said, can I?
• 35:13
  And she went, yeah, sure.
• 35:16
  Right on the first, I wanted to see what it said about the stress test.
• 35:20
  But right on the first page, it said, admitted for chest pains.
• 35:23
  I said well first of all
• 35:26
  I've got some wrong information here
• 35:27
  I was admitted for bladder pains
• 35:29
  And she came up with some excuse
• 35:31
  Yeah well you know
• 35:32
  When you're on the computer
• 35:34
  And the drop box comes down
• 35:36
  It don't really give you options
• 35:38
  I'm like what it don't say abdominal or other
• 35:41
  I flipped the pages
• 35:44
  And I got to the stress test
• 35:47
  And it said failed stress test
• 35:49
  Due to fatigue
• 35:51
  I said well look doctor
• 35:55
  I said I can't
• 35:56
  I can't vouch for your drop down box
• 35:58
  But this is an out and out lie
• 36:00
  I said I don't care what you say
• 36:03
  This is an out and out lie
• 36:05
  And it's not a mistake
• 36:06
  So based on what I know
• 36:09
  I'm going to discharge me
• 36:11
  Oh Mr. Hawley I would not discharge yourself
• 36:13
  In your condition
• 36:14
  I said so be it I will take that gamble
• 36:17
  And she says well what do you mean
• 36:19
  What you know
• 36:20
  I says well
• 36:20
  I said I a health and wellness coach I follow doctors Who have left the conventional medical system They always saying that it unnecessary pushing a test procedures and pills But better than
• 36:34
  that, I built a house for a cardiologist. I used to be a construction manager. I built
• 36:40
  a house for a cardiologist here in Denver, who I personally know. And she told me, I
• 36:47
  I don't know, maybe a year or two ago,
• 36:50
  that she's leaving the conventional medical system
• 36:53
  and she's setting her own practice up
• 36:55
  because of what I just told you.
• 36:56
  She wants to help people.
• 36:59
  So I'm going to discharge myself
• 37:01
  and I'm going to reach out to her.
• 37:03
  So I walked out of that hospital discharge
• 37:05
  against their advice.
• 37:08
  And in my cell phone here,
• 37:10
  who do you think I've got?
• 37:11
  I've got the cardiologist number.
• 37:13
  Calls her up, explain what went on.
• 37:15
  She said, Graham, great. Come and see me. Let's get you sorted out.
• 37:19
  So she says, OK, I'm going to send you for pretty much the same test,
• 37:23
  but it's a little bit better because you're going to take a pill tonight,
• 37:26
  a pill in the morning, two hours before, and it's going to slow your heart rate down.
• 37:31
  They're going to get a real clear picture and we'll see if you have a blockage.
• 37:35
  Long story short, it came back at the bottom.
• 37:38
  In medical terms, it says, oh, what did it say?
• 37:42
  Okay, I think
• 37:44
  Nothing
• 37:45
  Unremarkable is what it said
• 37:48
  Unremarkable
• 37:50
  She said, Graham, you don't have a blockage in your heart
• 37:52
  You've got a very healthy heart
• 37:54
  And you've got a low, extremely low calcium score
• 37:56
  Now this is what goes on
• 38:00
  And I'll tell you one more quick story
• 38:02
  Because people, if you're listening to this
• 38:04
  Look, if you get in a car crash
• 38:06
  You fall off a roof
• 38:07
  And you're laid in an hospital bed
• 38:09
  And they say they need to take someone out
• 38:11
  to do something, you don't really have a choice.
• 38:14
  But if you have a choice
• 38:15
  and you can go for a second opinion, I'm going
• 38:17
  to tell you one more quick story and I'll make
• 38:19
  it quick. I know somebody
• 38:20
  very near and dear to me, had
• 38:23
  a pain in the lower, like
• 38:25
  around the kidney area.
• 38:28
  Took her in.
• 38:29
  I took her in.
• 38:31
  They did all these tests. If we can't find what's wrong,
• 38:33
  we'll send you on with some painkillers. Wake
• 38:35
  up in the morning, exactly the same.
• 38:37
  Took her back in. Did all
• 38:39
  these tests and they go we found it your gallbladder we need to take your gallbladder out
• 38:44
  what do you do you trust them right so they took a gallbladder out sent her home woke up the next
• 38:52
  morning exact same pain in the exact same place i am to be on the phone with a friend of mine in
• 38:59
  california and i was telling him he goes hey graham he goes that sounds exactly exactly like
• 39:05
  when I was diagnosed with shingles.
• 39:09
  So we didn't go back to the hospital.
• 39:12
  We went to the urgent care on the corner,
• 39:15
  explained to the doctor what went on,
• 39:17
  and he said to her, take your shirt off.
• 39:20
  She took her shirt off.
• 39:22
  He walked around the back, and he goes,
• 39:24
  well, you've got shingles.
• 39:29
  And I mean, I've heard so many stories of him
• 39:32
  taking things out unnecessarily keeping people in hospitals unnecessarily i mean i hate to bring
• 39:39
  the system down like this but people need to be aware now is that just a misdiagnosis and a mistake
• 39:46
  or is that even more sinister than that well obviously i can't i can't look with all today's
• 39:53
  technology i'm saying it's sinister yeah you can't you can't diagnose somebody with shingles
• 40:00
  or whether they've got a defective gallbladder.
• 40:05
  And then you lie to say somebody failed a stress test
• 40:08
  and you put he came in with chest pains.
• 40:10
  So the insurance goes, oh, came in with chest pains
• 40:14
  and, oh, and he failed a stress test.
• 40:16
  Yeah, we'll pay for it.
• 40:20
  I've lost trust in the medical system.
• 40:22
  And I hate that because we need doctors.
• 40:28
  We need a healthcare system.
• 40:30
  you don't have a healthcare system we have a sick care system yeah well it comes down to two
• 40:36
  distinct tracks right you've got one track which is the insurance piece of it right and and you
• 40:42
  have a doctor's office one doctor in it and and eight people that do nothing but manage yeah so
• 40:48
  you've got that then you've got the money of it right and you know at the end of the day the you
• 40:54
  know they're not the time they have the time to do it right and they're trying to make that insurance
• 41:00
  will pay them. So, you know, you've got, you've got these things combined. And we've gone away
• 41:06
  from healthcare into sick care. And I totally agree with you. I mean, obviously when it comes
• 41:13
  to emergencies, yeah, there's the best surgeons out there, the best facilities, top notch. I mean,
• 41:20
  probably might be the best in the world, right? But when it comes just down to taking care of
• 41:26
  people's basic health.
• 41:29
  They can't do it.
• 41:31
  They operate on 95th percentile rule.
• 41:35
  So if you have symptoms X, Y, and Z,
• 41:38
  then 95% of the time,
• 41:39
  this will solve it.
• 41:41
  That's enough done.
• 41:42
  You told me your symptoms, here, this will solve it.
• 41:44
  Yeah, but it doesn't solve it.
• 41:45
  It just solves your symptoms, doesn't it?
• 41:47
  And slowly over time, just like my dad and my brother,
• 41:50
  they were taking the medications.
• 41:52
  In fact, I was once sat with my dad.
• 41:55
  I went home to visit my dad,
• 41:57
  and this was the time he was housebound.
• 42:01
  He said, can you just go into the dining room?
• 42:04
  You'll see my pillbox.
• 42:06
  Bring it to me.
• 42:07
  You know, he couldn't get out of a chair or even go get it.
• 42:09
  So I brought his pillbox, he popped it open and he tipped it onto the table.
• 42:13
  And I'm like, I says, that's a lot of tablets, don't they?
• 42:17
  There were 12, I counted them.
• 42:19
  I said, that's the tablets for the week?
• 42:22
  He looked at me as though, week?
• 42:24
  He goes, no, that's a day.
• 42:27
  I'm like, wow, 12 tablets a day?
• 42:29
  No wonder you freaking lost your mobility and you're suffering with all these chronic illnesses.
• 42:35
  And, oh, man, I tell you, it's a sad situation.
• 42:40
  Self-care is the best health care, isn't it?
• 42:43
  It is.
• 42:44
  Really, it comes down to the five pillars that you laid out, right?
• 42:48
  Yeah, it does.
• 42:48
  It really does.
• 42:50
  So I just wanted to ask this as well, right?
• 42:54
  So you wrote this book.
• 42:55
  And one of the things that I always find intriguing, because I have attempted this myself, and it's not easy.
• 43:02
  but what was that process like for you? Was it easy? Was it difficult? Did it take a long time
• 43:08
  to complete the book or, you know? Yeah, that's a good question and I'm sure you'd get different
• 43:14
  answers from different people. For me, I never again, I never really had any dreams or aspirations
• 43:21
  of writing a book but when I started to see the results my clients were getting, I'm like,
• 43:28
  okay, I think it's time to write a book.
• 43:32
  So I don't really know how long it took me, to be honest,
• 43:35
  because I took my time with it.
• 43:38
  I really did took my time on research and writing it.
• 43:42
  I did have an assistant to some degree.
• 43:46
  Didn't write the book for me, but my assistant, ChatGPT,
• 43:50
  helped me out immensely.
• 43:52
  Sure.
• 43:53
  Helped me out immensely because I would, what I liked about it,
• 43:58
  I would start by saying, please reword.
• 44:01
  And then I would write what, you know, I could just write and write and write.
• 44:06
  And then it would reword it, make it more, you know, legible and just really like, oh.
• 44:12
  And then it'd give suggestions.
• 44:14
  Well, now you're talking of this, you know, you might want to think.
• 44:18
  And then at the back of the book, it's where, because you can ask JTBT where it's getting all its information from.
• 44:28
  And you know where it was getting them from?
• 44:30
  All the doctors I follow.
• 44:33
  We've also wrote books.
• 44:36
  So I believe everything in here,
• 44:39
  and I probably couldn't have done it without the help of Chachi TB,
• 44:42
  if I'd be honest,
• 44:44
  but I believe everything in this book is true.
• 44:50
  And all this really is is the program I run my clients through.
• 44:56
  and they lose weight.
• 44:59
  They have the medications reduced and eliminated.
• 45:01
  So I don't know, you believe it or not.
• 45:06
  So I think overall it took me a while because I didn't,
• 45:10
  I went in a rush to do it.
• 45:12
  And then I got a publisher to help me.
• 45:17
  She kind of designed the cover actually
• 45:19
  and just took that side of it away from me
• 45:22
  because I had no idea about publishing.
• 45:24
  so now next i'm thinking of turning it into an audio book oh nice well that'd be nice yeah i
• 45:33
  think so i mean me i don't often read books but i do listen to a lot of audio whether it be podcast
• 45:38
  or audio books just because it's quick and easy you can do it while you're driving
• 45:42
  while i'm on my bike or something you know lots of ways you can you can listen to something if
• 45:48
  you don't have time to read are you going to narrate yourself that's a good question somebody
• 45:53
  else asked me that i don't think so actually but i would like to find somebody with a british accent
• 45:59
  i think you should because i i american audiences they they like british accents they i think they
• 46:05
  come across as being more authoritative on the subject yeah i mean i've kind of i've kind of
• 46:11
  hey gentlemen that's why i've kept my accent that's right yeah yeah yeah no yeah no i mean
• 46:22
  You got a good point there, but I'm not sure if I could be honest.
• 46:26
  It seems like a lot of work, but maybe I'll just try it and who knows.
• 46:31
  Yeah.
• 46:32
  I think you should try it.
• 46:33
  Yeah.
• 46:34
  Well, it's worth a try, isn't it?
• 46:35
  It's worth a try.
• 46:37
  And I think this probably happens to most people.
• 46:40
  Once you write a book and it published and you get months or years down the road you go oh I wish I have added this Oh I wish I have said that so if i turn it into an audiobook let me rephrase that when i turn it into an audiobook then i can add the
• 46:59
  things i've been chuntering in my head about oh i wish i'd have had that i wish i'd said that
• 47:04
  so no no sites on a volume two or or another uh not as yet no not as yet i need something to
• 47:14
  spark that off i think like whatever sparked this off see what i'm trying to do gentlemen i'm now
• 47:21
  trying to move into the presentation live presentation arena and i'll be honest as well
• 47:27
  there's one that's another i wrote the books for two reasons one the results my clients were getting
• 47:33
  and two i'm led to believe if you want to move into this live speaking then having a book is like
• 47:39
  a business card, you know, for whatever that's worth. So I did it for a few reasons.
• 47:48
  Yeah, it certainly helps. So do you, I guess one of my questions, because you had mentioned earlier
• 47:53
  that, you know, you'd made a statement, you know, basically how should people know, right? And one
• 48:00
  of the things I always kind of come back to, because I'm a huge believer in individual
• 48:06
  responsibility as well as individual liberty, right? But one of the things that you had said
• 48:12
  was, you know, how should they know? And I always go back to, you know, why aren't we educating
• 48:18
  parents? Why aren't we actually going to the parents and saying, hey parents, you don't know
• 48:24
  this, but here, let me show you this ingredient list off of this loaf of bread you're buying.
• 48:30
  Let me show you the ingredients list off of this peanut butter. Why is there sugar in your peanut
• 48:35
  You have made a very, very strong point there, a very strong point.
• 48:40
  Why?
• 48:41
  Well, I think we know why, but it's wrong.
• 48:44
  It's funny because I started my own podcast, and I had a guest on.
• 48:49
  It was a physical education teacher.
• 48:52
  And we got on to this, and I said to him, because he says, you know,
• 48:57
  I teach the kids, you know, but these are kids from, I think,
• 49:01
  seven years of age until 11 or something.
• 49:04
  and he says you know I and this guy is I think this guy stands out his name's BK he stands out
• 49:12
  to me I don't have children so I don't really know what goes on in schools but he stands out to me
• 49:17
  he's going above and beyond just teaching physical education he's educating these kids about nutrition
• 49:24
  and this that and the other so I says wow I says well it seems to me though once a month that there
• 49:32
  should be a parents meeting in school to educate the parents because these young kids are not going
• 49:39
  to go home and say oh my teacher said i've got to stop eating my cholesterol lowering cereal
• 49:44
  the kids are not going to do that and then he told me we got on about he says yeah he says
• 49:52
  uh they'll come into class i'll have them move the body for five minutes warm them up and then
• 49:59
  most of them just sit down and say, oh, I'm too tired.
• 50:03
  And then they'll ask a question, but why are you tired?
• 50:07
  And they go, well, I went to bed at so-and-so time,
• 50:11
  and then I woke up at 1 o'clock.
• 50:14
  Because all the, what they call them, PlayStation and all that,
• 50:18
  Xbox, they seem to be all in the kid's room.
• 50:21
  So the kid's up playing on his Xbox at 2 in the morning.
• 50:25
  I mean, his parents have probably no idea, I would imagine.
• 50:27
  it's yeah parents need educating they need educating and again in parents defense look
• 50:35
  parents are not slowly poisoning in the kids on purpose right right they're not it's they don't
• 50:43
  know leaves that yeah they don't know because everything's been hidden look what are the two
• 50:49
  most important things in anybody's life, health and finances. They're not taught in school. They're
• 50:58
  not taught in college. They're not taught in university. So where'd you learn about that stuff?
• 51:05
  You learned the hard way, right? Well, we did, you know, to be fair, we did go through about a half
• 51:12
  hour of the food pyramid, which was broken and upside down. Okay. All right. Well, I'll give you
• 51:17
  that then you know i mean so you know i mean 18 years for you know half hour that seems adequate
• 51:24
  right right right brought to you by general mills exactly exactly exactly it's like all the studies
• 51:31
  and research to throw out there if you really dig deep and find out who financed that big food and
• 51:39
  big farmer yep sure it's gonna swing in there otherwise you won't be getting your millions
• 51:44
  Yeah, there's a lot of information out there if you're willing to actually look. Unfortunately,
• 51:52
  people operate on sound bites and headlines. You see a headline and someone will describe
• 51:59
  to you what the article about and you read the article The headline to grab your attention yeah the article was a completely different piece of information and you
• 52:11
  never bothered to take it up you looked at the headline went i have new information um you know
• 52:16
  and i think yeah i i have my own theories on this and i think it's getting worse uh with you know
• 52:24
  kind of the brain rot media that we've got going.
• 52:28
  It is getting worse.
• 52:29
  Do you have scrolling and fear porn and add in, you know,
• 52:34
  people used to look at a 15 minute video and go, look, a quick clip.
• 52:39
  Now, if it's over like a minute and a half, they're like, I can't spend that much time.
• 52:43
  It's very right.
• 52:44
  It's very true.
• 52:45
  I mean, look, just as we're talking about children, it's, I mean,
• 52:49
  children are leading more of a sedentary life than they ever did.
• 52:52
  again the human body is meant to move it's not meant to be sat in a chair or on a couch or
• 52:59
  in front of a screen all day long you said the pe the pe coach was was basically you know five
• 53:07
  minutes of warm-up and kids want to sit down at that age between seven and eleven you couldn't
• 53:12
  make me sit down i know you don't understand right where well where have we come yeah i know
• 53:18
  Because when I was a young kid, I was a teenager in the early 70s.
• 53:25
  And even before that, at any age, you'd come home from school.
• 53:30
  The first thing you'd do is get out your school uniform and you'd be out playing with all your mates.
• 53:35
  You'd be climbing trees.
• 53:37
  You'd be doing also kicking a ball around.
• 53:40
  In fact, the rule was as long as you're home before the streetlights come on.
• 53:46
  That's what the rule was.
• 53:47
  I don't see kids playing out at all.
• 53:51
  No.
• 53:52
  I don't either.
• 53:54
  I never.
• 53:54
  Very rarely.
• 53:56
  Very rare.
• 53:56
  Do you see kids even playing in the street?
• 53:59
  I understand we're in a different time now.
• 54:01
  So is it safe to let your 10 year old just go wandering off by himself with his 10 year old mates for three hours?
• 54:09
  Probably not.
• 54:11
  But, you know, yeah, I don't see kids playing in the street.
• 54:15
  Even when you go to the park, I do a lot of cycling.
• 54:19
  And I cycle through parks and I go,
• 54:23
  well, there's hardly anybody playing.
• 54:27
  Especially when it comes to kids,
• 54:28
  because they're all at home in front of the screens.
• 54:31
  Yeah, you'll see kind of a very young, I'd say,
• 54:34
  probably up to about age six,
• 54:37
  with a parent there or something,
• 54:39
  with a group of kids or something.
• 54:40
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 54:41
  But back in the day, up until we were,
• 54:44
  you know,
• 54:45
  eight,
• 54:46
  16 actually.
• 54:48
  Yeah.
• 54:48
  I got my driver's license,
• 54:49
  but you know,
• 54:50
  we were building ramps and jumping ramps and riding our bikes.
• 54:54
  Do you know why?
• 54:55
  Because they want anything else to do.
• 54:59
  Well,
• 54:59
  we weren't.
• 55:00
  What are you going to do?
• 55:01
  I mean,
• 55:01
  I remember growing up as a young kid,
• 55:04
  there were three TV stations.
• 55:06
  Yeah.
• 55:06
  We had limited TV,
• 55:08
  but you know,
• 55:09
  by the time I guess I was in my,
• 55:10
  you know,
• 55:12
  early teens,
• 55:13
  we,
• 55:13
  you know,
• 55:13
  we had a decent,
• 55:14
  TV thing. And we had, you know, an Atari console, right? So we had video games, we had TV,
• 55:22
  but there was a bigger thing. Back then, I don't know about you guys, but my parents had
• 55:28
  TV locked down, right? You were allowed to watch, you know, cartoons on, you know, Saturday morning
• 55:34
  for an hour, maybe two hours. And that was it. The TV's off. You're going outside to play.
• 55:40
  It was mandatory. Get outside. Get outside. It's raining, man. Get outside.
• 55:47
  You're fine. You're waterproof. You'll be okay.
• 55:49
  Exactly. Put this hat on.
• 55:52
  No, look, it's all changed when it comes to, and again, these five pillars that don't work independently, and it's all changed.
• 56:04
  The nutrition has changed over the last 30 years.
• 56:08
  People have got used to all this comfort, if you want to call it, where it's easy just to sit down and watch something or play something.
• 56:17
  And when it comes to stress, we've got to admit there's more stress nowadays than there were 50, 60, 70 years ago, I think.
• 56:25
  You've got more politic stress.
• 56:27
  You've got more.
• 56:28
  I think that's all manufactured, to be honest with you.
• 56:31
  I don't think it's any more stress.
• 56:32
  I can remember very clearly in the early 70s, my father absolutely, you know, like veins sticking out of his forehead over politics.
• 56:43
  So, well, yeah, the difference was.
• 56:45
  All right.
• 56:45
  Well, I'm not going to argue with that.
• 56:48
  We had the 5 p.m. news and we had the 10 p.m. news.
• 56:51
  And that was it.
• 56:52
  That was it.
• 56:53
  So the amount of it being injected into your life.
• 56:56
  OK, then.
• 56:57
  Yeah.
• 56:57
  A fraction.
• 56:58
  That's right.
• 56:59
  I think the problem now, though, is that it tracks you and it follows you and it shoots this stuff straight at you.
• 57:04
  You can't even escape it.
• 57:05
  Exactly.
• 57:06
  And whatever side you lean into that just giving you more information to put the other side down I mean what really happening they putting people against each other They creating a divide They creating it with politics
• 57:23
  What do they call it?
• 57:24
  Rage baiting is what they do.
• 57:26
  Right, exactly.
• 57:27
  There's just so many ways they're dividing people.
• 57:30
  Which is an amazing thing, and I'm so happy that this has happened, right?
• 57:35
  I don't know if you've seen it, but I've seen little clips here and there.
• 57:39
  And don't do a whole lot with social media, to be honest with you. But, you know, I've seen some clips here and there. And the World Cup has been kind of an eye opener for a lot of people because they're coming from all over the world. And, you know, there's these stories. America's dangerous and everyone's fighting and they're they hate each other. And, you know, they get here and they realize that the average human in America is a nice, loving, caring person.
• 58:05
  wants to treat you with respect and hospitality.
• 58:09
  You are absolutely right, mate.
• 58:11
  I've had some texts from some friends in England
• 58:15
  who are saying the same.
• 58:18
  For some reason, there's a negative slant on America.
• 58:23
  I'm so glad the World Cup's here.
• 58:25
  Talking of the World Cup, the U.S. are doing great.
• 58:29
  They've got through to the final,
• 58:31
  what's called the final 16 teams.
• 58:33
  I think it's on Monday or Sunday
• 58:36
  They're playing Belgium
• 58:37
  And
• 58:40
  So this is when it gets exciting now
• 58:42
  When it gets down to the final 16
• 58:44
  So yeah and I tell you what
• 58:46
  I've watched every
• 58:48
  US game
• 58:50
  Obviously every England game
• 58:52
  And I'm very impressed with the US
• 58:55
  Yeah for
• 58:56
  I mean a relatively new thing for us
• 58:58
  Oh absolutely
• 58:59
  When I came here
• 59:01
  You know decades ago
• 59:03
  I don't think it was even played in schools
• 59:05
  to be honest
• 59:06
  we had like AYS
• 59:08
  but not like it is now
• 59:10
  right yeah
• 59:11
  it was exploded
• 59:13
  and you didn't have professional matches
• 59:15
  you could go watch
• 59:16
  professional team
• 59:18
  I've seen it really
• 59:21
  move forward in this last 20 years
• 59:24
  and this
• 59:25
  really is now
• 59:27
  going to elevate soccer
• 59:29
  in America
• 59:30
  is the World Cup being staged here.
• 59:33
  And boy, if America can get,
• 59:36
  I just hope they can get as far as they can get.
• 59:39
  That's all I can wish them.
• 59:41
  I don't know what I'm going to do with US,
• 59:43
  if it's England and US in the final.
• 59:45
  I don't know what I'm going to do.
• 59:48
  Well, actually, whoever wins, I'll say good job.
• 59:52
  You know, because, yeah.
• 59:55
  Well, I'm sorry.
• 59:58
  Go ahead.
• 59:58
  No, go ahead.
• 59:59
  no i was going to get back into the the nutrition thing i i was curious if you have any advice for
• 1:00:05
  autoimmune stuff which is something that's near and dear to my heart and that i'm still trying
• 1:00:11
  to overcome just despite all the changes with my diet i'm still dealing with an autoimmune thing
• 1:00:17
  and it's psoriasis but i know it's not really a skin thing it's more like probably a gut thing
• 1:00:22
  but i was going to say first of all i'm not a doctor so you know this is not medical advice but
• 1:00:27
  But they do say, yeah, and you mentioned it, gut health.
• 1:00:32
  Gut health can cause autoimmune disease.
• 1:00:36
  Right.
• 1:00:37
  So, again, I don't know what you eat or I don't know your lifestyle.
• 1:00:42
  But, yeah, I mean, pretty much most of it goes back to overall lifestyle.
• 1:00:49
  Overall lifestyle.
• 1:00:52
  Plenty of fiber.
• 1:00:53
  I mean, I'm sure you eat plenty of fiber.
• 1:00:55
  I don't know what to say with that one.
• 1:00:56
  What I would suggest is going to find a functional medical doctor.
• 1:01:01
  Right.
• 1:01:02
  Because they will get to the root cause of it by taking, you know, it could be a food.
• 1:01:09
  Here's the thing.
• 1:01:10
  I was talking to this functional medical doctor, Dr. Mooberry here in Denver.
• 1:01:16
  And they do a test and he said, Graham, you'll be shocked how many people we do this test to.
• 1:01:23
  And it is to see what food allergies you've got.
• 1:01:28
  Now, these food allergies, they might not be even necessarily showing symptoms.
• 1:01:35
  And sometimes they are showing symptoms, but it could just be certain foods people are eating that they enjoy eating.
• 1:01:43
  And they're healthy.
• 1:01:44
  They're old foods.
• 1:01:45
  They're real food.
• 1:01:46
  But they are causing some type of slight dysfunction.
• 1:01:50
  so if you're dealing with that I would just
• 1:01:52
  say you know go see a functional
• 1:01:55
  medical doctor I think
• 1:01:56
  I mean the thing with that is you know
• 1:01:59
  insurance don't cover functional medical
• 1:02:01
  doctors because they make you well
• 1:02:03
  right
• 1:02:05
  they rejuvenate your health
• 1:02:07
  we're not paying to have your health
• 1:02:09
  rejuvenated
• 1:02:09
  bizarre
• 1:02:11
  absolutely bizarre
• 1:02:14
  we can't pay for that
• 1:02:16
  we need you to have a recurring
• 1:02:18
  Yeah, we need to see you every month.
• 1:02:20
  We need to see you every month.
• 1:02:21
  It's the subscription service.
• 1:02:23
  Fucking unbelievable.
• 1:02:25
  It is.
• 1:02:26
  It is.
• 1:02:27
  It's a joke.
• 1:02:27
  I mean, we're all sat here laughing.
• 1:02:29
  It's so silly.
• 1:02:29
  Oh, no, I know. But yeah, but we're all sat here laughing because you can't do anything else but laugh.
• 1:02:35
  exactly it's it's that feeling of of a little bit of helplessness and hopelessness but it's also
• 1:02:42
  you know tragedy breeds comedy right you're right it just does so um i think this is probably a good
• 1:02:49
  place to start wrapping up one of the questions we like to ask our guests is to give a shout out
• 1:02:55
  to someone that was influential or had a massive impact on their life that could be a sixth grade
• 1:03:00
  science teacher it could be an author a historical figure it could be mom who'd you like to shout out
• 1:03:06
  to oh boy i mean that's a tough question for me i mean i've got a lot of mentors now uh i've got a
• 1:03:14
  lot of mentors now i even have uh you know personal uh mentors like a business coach and a soccer
• 1:03:22
  coach even at my age because you don't know what you don't know but growing up as a young kid i
• 1:03:28
  I think I was probably I was a big I was into as a young kid I played rugby because my father was a talent scout and I watched a lot of rugby And I think I was influenced by one of maybe a couple of the rugby players
• 1:03:46
  Yeah, that's a tough question.
• 1:03:47
  I'm not sure I can really answer that one.
• 1:03:49
  I didn't feel growing up.
• 1:03:50
  Look, for me, growing up was I left school at 16, became an apprentice carpenter
• 1:03:56
  because that's what you did in the blue-collar town I grew up in.
• 1:04:01
  And then I started drinking.
• 1:04:04
  So mine was just working, drinking and partying and chasing women.
• 1:04:11
  Okay.
• 1:04:12
  You know, that was...
• 1:04:13
  All right.
• 1:04:14
  Something to ponder.
• 1:04:16
  Yeah, exactly.
• 1:04:17
  But I've got plenty of mentors now.
• 1:04:19
  I've got some personal friends who are mentors just because they're, well,
• 1:04:23
  the multimillionaires and I just feed off of them.
• 1:04:26
  Like I said, a business coach, a couple of guys I play soccer with.
• 1:04:33
  They're just incredible soccer players.
• 1:04:34
