are going to continue your computing. hello and welcome to the party as millions of people around the world by seeking relief from this tragedy. in conference could then be making the pandemic even worse they ravaging effects of sugar on our bodies have been well documented but means theories about the viruses biology indicate that it may have found their way to graft in the eyes to how to deal with cod 19 without becoming its

accomplice to discover that i'm now joined by film after john and paul larson 2 doctors who popularized the expression that gentlemen it's so good to talk to your stash away at these times i mean they couldn't have been a more open to moment you describe as the main subject your work thanks for having us this is this is an important topic now dr master john let me start with you. like me made me aware of your is now stuck at home and i asked you. why do most travel and ways of dealing with things like it would be hiding yourself some slack when it comes to food choices and that's perfectly understandable we are deprived of so many levels socially physically some of us i deprived of fresh air and sunlight so i think people want to compensate for that but i see in that you would say that loading up on sugar is probably do worse thing one can do at this

time am i right it is absolutely right and it's one of the reasons we got here because all that sugar has created excess body fat and the majority of people worldwide and that impairs immunity and therefore makes a small wrong so infection and during this period when we're were isolated in our homes. we tend to want to eat more sugar and sugar you know refined carbohydrates turn to sugar so that's a that's really the worst thing people can do now that you'll be you have long been talking about the danger of being over fat going to be have we will discount that if great detail but before that it seems that among people who are particularly hard hit by call that 19 are many people with either it's actually diabetes or various kinds of metabolic diseases so it seems that. with common $1000.00 in

particular people with metabolic problems far more susceptible or is it always the case with their virus. no i mean that it degenerates coming in is is clearly is is just very clear that it's those there are. symptoms of over 5 there have co-morbidities and it's those individuals that are coming into the hospitals it's those individuals that are simply leaving us and it's ultimately because they have this metabolic dysregulation that's cause there were medical accounts back you know back to phil's point this is going to cause mostly too much sugar is the big picture right there the new more viruses in the in the future that we're not accustomed to and you know we need to get the world healthy again that reduction method tell him that many stein scientists i talk to about base near virus seem to

be almost unlocked where they have because they may find it fascinating not the least because the outcomes it creates and a host are so drastically different need people will get it through their systems without even noticing while some people will go after id for their lives do you think people have a choice in which group they fall into. they certainly do the bottom line is that. many infectious diseases like chronic disease and physical impairment are preventable and with with good health which includes a good immune system we can prevent many or most of the. viruses bacteria and other microbes that may in fact as humans have always done that that's why really we got this far in the world as we've had this great immune system i think it's you keep variables when it comes to crime and i didn't want his metabolism the state of metabolism and the other one is the state of community.

center to be dull but we should want the conditional which do you think is most critical when dealing with a with a virus like. well there both there there are both essential that metabolism establish shoes are improved health so if we have good metabolism we have good health and if we have good health we have good immunity and then immunity improves our metabolism which that improves our health and so it's one big happy cycle. now if i may ask you one more question dr macedon i have spent the last couple of days reading your book the overfat and i'm a care which i highly recommend to anyone interested in the connection between dietary sure grandfather and bodily fat as well as how absent bodily fat compromises both metabolism and immunity i understand it's a massive question that's right you wrote a hope that in growth strokes jenny please explain how broken metabolism

would lead to you weekend immunity. well there's a number of our number of issues the one you've been talking about poor sugar metabolism is why and law. professor her professor larson mentioned stress metabolic stress reduces immunity which we've known about for 100 years and again now you've got. you know you've got diet induced overfat which affects insulin resistance which affects chronic inflammation and that mischa psycho affects our metabolism and our our immune system and the resolution i forgot. my give my biology lessons from school by now but one thing i remember is that maybe i'm being viewed in cells are actually mackay that is in the that's out is that right. yeah it is so healthy and mean systems supported by

a higher body. so this is a very important i think was tissue itself is just a really important issue. you know it's populated by a number of the mean cells and getting t. cells and matter. and it's just vital that we have you know these kind of forgotten that that's a really important issue that so there but it's tightly linked to the immune system so he don't have. don't have that system functioning well you fuse hurdle to mislead by having too much show your stress in your diet you reduce the overall function of that immune system to a. mountain attack against any viral pathogen that terms of cross your body. such as credible iris the thing many people don't realize is that fat cells are very important for our metabolism they're medically actor to survive tissue just

like our liver and our brain and other other tissues in the body and so when we have too much fat those fat cells become literally become sick just like when we have too little fat too little fat creates very similar problems as as excess body fat and so it's all about balance. and larsen are not just cellular metabolic changes that you just described from what i understand they could be happening within people off perfectly normal weight and that's why i think your concept of fact is still ration and at this point of time because me we actually know that many of the victims of call that you know are. you know i meet people but they're also maybe people who seemed relatively fat at least to you know to that avnery back. how is. being already fagged

different from being obese and once the scale of the problem oh i know this is a big question this is a. that's important for us to get or you're alone but a survey and i really come from the store etc write songs often used to dealing with what a big muscular means one of the things that we've seen when we would measure our pleats is that he's a living athletes would actually be defined overweight and even obese according to the be on a live body. right which is a which is really it's taking the just the overall weight to account and then when you know when we're actually like muscle it's all ways so much so that to know and just use the scale to that we're obsessed about to determine whether or not we are is completely wrong we need to be measuring what matters the one measure what matters is the. self deposits the addict prosody sits around

typically it doesn't and since around her image or around her waist and that's really that's where her father's so you know fills championing this for a long time need to go away from the scale and we need to go more towards like a team measure where we changed around our race and we see how much. you know how much more strain on laps there are your waist years relative to your height and your very simply your your waist measured to be less that's right the way should be less than half your height. and where we actually are when do you actually do those measurements. and calculations based on them i believe that you came up with astonishing figures i mean like i haven't figured that i saw that roughly 90 percent of the well population. it is a magic bullet we come from ice or whether you would call all right fat i mean how

could that be it's over 80 percent in the us it's 91 percent of adults are over a fat but in places like india. shockingly 80 percent to be in the in adults or over fat and so we we have a serious problem and you know people often think that jay from not overweight and i'm not obese you know my body fat must be ok but the fact is that 40 percent or more of non obese normal weight individuals are over. her if you say that when you pile on sugar when you cut it out the you know the changes within your body could happen within a few meals and. you know evolutionarily it's hard to understand why because i mean our bodies usually have backup systems or me to get it systems

developed more and in fact i'm but why is the reaction to sugar so immediate well if you take away a stress the body responds and in the case of sugar when you stop eating it yeah you literally will will measurably affect your metabolism in the same day and and you question i cannot see a difference in your waist measurement of course but by then that will change relatively quick as well but the 1st thing that has to be done is you need to change your metabolism and stopping sugar and i'm not talking about cutting back on sugar arms are about stopping sugar will do that quite rapidly. now correct me if i'm wrong once you cut carbohydrates your blood sugar may get creased over the next couple of. hours or days reached perhaps it will create last favorable condition for viruses to get into your body but it will take much longer

to fix your actual sal your learner metabolism but we know that you can do that i think you yourself have to have managed to reverse your type 2 diabetes do we understand what actually happens to the south when they become sick and when they become how do we understand how this process. you know. changes work now they become the cells become more insulin. and they get away from this problem of insulin resistance and so that's just part of the metabolic improvements that we see quite easily and it's it's it's another way you mentioned beanies a couple times now it's another way of. improving the health of a diabetic and often reducing their need for insulin or often a limb in a thing they're needed for and. it's interesting that he say that because the world

health organization still describes type 2 diabetes as an incurable disease on its website and it also recommends all downs as a way of managing the spread of damage but given the speed and the x. amount of metabolic changes in the body that you both have described it's hard not to wonder what i'd be how all the quarantine measures when people are logged or weeks on and next to this rage next to their cell phone next to that tally isn't a done little bit this fitting as far as the race against called it goes professor larson what do you think about that. yeah another perfect storm probably coming. you know you're almost you're creating a sedentary situation so there's less loot meant that. possibly there's there's more stress there's certainly some mental health issues that i've been seeing or

hearing of. as we just were not too unlike humans we're we're meant to. be isolated like and and yeah and if we're continuing to not eat healthy. then you know it's it's a recipe for you know exacerbating the overflow and it wouldn't be fair to assume that the longer people stay under quarantine in sedentary conditions then nor are i.c.u. bad reale likely to require later on well maybe a big step you know but but it's you know you know helping the situation certainly there's some rational to suggest that we had to do what we had to do to slow the spread. but yeah i'm not sure i'm still the probably a better writer got to ask in terms of the best strategy moving forward different countries are going it differently as we see i guess i one day i started around

a while to understand the quire engine itself. doesn't count without a cost is bad and accurate statement it's accurate to me with a yeah without a doubt and i think we'll we'll start seeing some of that damage along with the other information we need to learn about the data about covert 19 over taing as scientists start looking at the data and testing people truly trusting people the number of cases will go down in their adjustments the number of deaths will go down and their adjustments and you know this is going to be very very important information to look at from a scientific standpoint and in terms of helping us in the future but in the end at the same time we might just take this covert 19 virus and lump it into seasonal viruses and every year. we'll you know will be exposed to these 100 or

so different seasonal viruses and over 1000 will be one of them gentlemen let us take a very short break now but you could be back in just a few moments. we go to work so you straight home.

join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i was speaking to guest of the world the follow fix school business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back to roles up large rich still not like telling and told larsen. gentleman just be sure to break we were talking about the. social costs are warranted and i think both of the doctors and the governments often have to deal with the so-called. problem by deciding whose lives have to be prioritized and i think what's interesting with the comment 19 is that in this particular case they decided to prioritize the snake and the all they showed readiness to in cure

enormous economic losses because of that why do you think professor larson they have never been as decisive in regulating the fluids reaching make ice so to speak in different place i assume that would have saved governments a lot of money oh yeah yeah you can imagine is it going to different whether i think it really comes down to probably industry and industry ties with government and specifically i think we have to point you know one of the fingers of a big food and you know and are potentially the political agendas and probably money at the end of the day. you know and i'm not exactly sure of it there is how we got here in the in the 1st place but the wrong information got the wrong feeling of our world and their own habits there and we're sitting in the in the over pandemic that we we are in and we don't have unions this was the majority of

it with slight coronavirus now and we are all a little bit freaked out at the moment about the call that 19 société were telling to read but basically around it being overfat prematurely kills far far more people and i think if i were in the nation was causing that kind of data rate our governments would be compelled to go to war to stop that any at that i think riyadh not seeing any anything any major stats happening there's a lot of discussion but we do. very decisive action at least in my country i have to say now professor marse and i know you are a big believer in in towering people through education and. awareness and now don't you think that people should be incentivized perhaps penalized you say

bad i care about own health so i really want to go back more to phil's philosophy there where it does come back to the individual. and just i'm not sure with all the temptations that are out there whether you can shake a stick at someone and force them to go and do this and i just don't see that it really is working there's so many overfat individuals that are directly in government and in mission policies and they just kind of can't see the forest for the tree in lights so where it's been an uphill battle and it's right come back to fill it with it's got to come back to the individual well agri viewing on on the issue of personal responsibility but when we look at the vagaries of you know how many governments have just banned the dealing in the bowl of diseases that seems like i mean it almost seems like the more i read is that he's the more overfat people there are because you know that we need a leader that understands it so you know and the leaders that i'm looking at mostly

in the world. don't really care or understand so but if the leadership. grabbed hold of these principles and and started from the top then we would be starting somewhere you know things are things we could start having we've just shown actually that we can make drastic changes in an instant we can put an absolute holt on things so it's certainly possible that we could switch things over very very quickly i don't leave our choir the leadership needs to needs to do. now on the chairperson of action dr not to tell and you are and guru in. world go round there is you live here training at a lower rate. you burn more are bad and you know as i was jogging in the morning. you would call it an easy pace i found it very challenging it occurred to me that i logged on is actually

a paraphrase trying to. sum up your advice because you actually don't need that much distance to train the way you recommend ulead chile can run a half marathon in your backyard or even a new york apartment what do you think about do you think it's finally the time when you know a 3rd of the world that is under lockdown should try. well it's not too late to start getting healthy through 3 year exercise along with your diet so yeah and i think people should train by time not by miles so a 30 minute walk or a 60 minute run. is is a very valuable amount of time and who cares how far you go it's really not relevant for the average person running exercising by time is what's most important and you don't have to do it all runs if you do 10 minutes in the morning 10 minutes in the afternoon and 10 minutes an evening now you've got 30 minutes of exercise

that's pretty powerful cancel out on that because i often hear you're railing against this no pain milngavie alex and it's only after i started implementing some appeared buys. in my own lives and eating it actually i actually understood what it means it's no longer hard to be how to eat not challenging it's a you don't have to southwards you get your optimal out why do you think this idea of the hard way of sort of work to yourself into the ground be so prevalent that it's a macho it's a macho thing and colonise it a nother paper some time ago on on the brain and how the brain makes decisions how are we going to decide which diet to follow or what workout program to follow and and our brain chooses the path of least resistance one that we don't have to think about because if we did we'd say hey wait a minute that doesn't make any sense but marketing people have grabbed on to that

and that's why people follow no pain no gain because it's it's the sizzle and it's not the steak and not professional lesson one more marketing ploy that may come into play here is calories in calories out mentality believing that if i downed a pint of ice cream today i may run it off tomorrow what is the relationship between diet and exercise and how they are facts are facts to wars. yes so that's another one and you did agree were you guys a bigger 8. you know video with dr jason phone where he was really talking about the 2 different models that are out there we've got the calorie and calorie a model and then you go from the law and again we you know we strive to be chasing hormonal all that's really. that's what's going to be allowing for

you know fats to be burn if you're stressed and you've got high sugar levels of high cortisol and yeah you just it doesn't matter if you're starving yourself calories you've got the hormonal regulation that's going to cause for storage and we need to we need to start understanding the difficult for difficult one for people to understand that's the way we work so we've got a search going to start somewhere and fasting is jason was professing in his in his talk with you is definitely a good practice well actually i'm glad you mentioned. it because dr methadone the only thing i have i find hard to. accepting your book is your suggestion that we have to eat 5 forest steaks smaller males for a day and according to jason funk that iraq roots insulin resistance that's going

to keep your insulate insulin levels up through the day. john she thinks that. i mean where do you stand on that if you know i i think i think the 5 to 6 meals a day is taking the calories that you're require and break in the mental smaller meals and those can be but be one of the last only levels do they have enough time to actually really you know rodolfo i think they do and in fact people who are just making changes with their diet quite often really need to eat more frequently because they can't go 3 hours or 4 hours and maintain a stable blood sugar stable yes allana and stable cortisol so it wins the it wins them all from what they're doing to what they should be doing but over time . i still eat that frequently but my my caloric intake has lowered over

the years as i've become more metabolically official so. and then it's somewhat individual some people don't need 5 or 6 for meals 3 meals works for them others will never get out of that 5 to 6 meal routine because they've they've got so much down. gentlemen and our time is up thank you very much for being with us i really hold that. you know your wisdom will inspire some of our viewers to put away that. perhaps you know if they've got the trouble of handing out bathing in an emergency or worth thank you very much for your info i thank you thank you. and thank you for watching we will disappear again next week when will the part.

you cannot be vulgar with the yet you like. time after time called parisian to repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important. to transition to sustainable prize board sustainability sustainable amana a more equitable and sustainable world. they claim their production is completely

harmless. because the models and. companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something this must be done even as i made much of. this is the moon and news to me didn't anyone and i'm stymied seem to be best understood so when. i have interviewed women civilian world and rape is a very very traumatizing thing to have happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma. i cannot remember how many times a young female marine that had been raped or so.
