Key Takeaways
1
The program helps people lose weight, improve health, and reverse chronic diseases by focusing on diet and lifestyle changes.
2
Controlling four key hormones, avoiding four specific foods, and incorporating four anti-aging foods are crucial for weight loss and health.
3
Insulin resistance is the root cause of many chronic illnesses, from neuropathy to Alzheimer's disease.
4
Insulin, the fat storage hormone, is released when you eat carbs, and consistently eating too many carbs leads to insulin resistance and weight gain.
5
The four worst foods to avoid for weight loss are finely ground flour products, sugar and artificial sweeteners, starches (potatoes, grains, cereals), and juices and milk.
6
A diet high in quality protein keeps you fuller longer, reduces cravings, and helps build muscle.
7
Four superfoods that help reverse aging are green tea, rosemary, turmeric (curcumin), and pomegranates, along with other colorful fruits and vegetables.
8
Sugar is highly addictive, does not provide any good nutrients, and is detrimental to heart, mental, and brain health.
9
Balancing hormones like leptin (stops appetite), ghrelin (increases appetite), and CCK (promotes satisfaction) is important for weight management.
10
Intermittent fasting is a powerful tool to reset insulin, leptin, and ghrelin, and offers profound anti-aging health benefits.

research that support everything I give
2:55

2:59
solid evidence-based research I'm going
3:02
to cover a few highlights of my program
3:05
today high overview of some important
3:08
fundamentals of weight loss and health
3:11
mostly taken from my book get out of
3:13
hormone hell how to feel great lose
3:15
weight and reverse aging available on
3:17
Amazon but if your only goal is weight
3:21
loss statistics are really bad only 20%
3:26
of dieters who lose weight on a diet
3:28
keep it off long term
3:30
that is not acceptable with all the
3:33
current obesity stats this figure is
3:37
just too low to be helpful in any
3:40
significant way for those struggling to
3:42
improve their health in 2020 the way
3:46
before covid CDC that said that 42% of
3:50
Americans were
3:51
overweight and three force or they were
3:55
o
3:57
obese and overweight and that was pretty
4:00
Co you can imagine today so this is just
4:03
a few of my quotes I'm going to kind of
4:06
brag on some of my spring grads and the
4:08
weight loss for life but here are some
4:11
of the things that they said and some of
4:13
the outcomes so I'll call her a lost 33
4:17
lbs she said I knew your program worked
4:21
but I was amazed how well it worked for
4:23
me Jay lost 22 lbs I feel like an
4:27
Energizer Bunny and my husband says I I
4:30
am so
4:31
happy another a lost 30 lbs and I
4:35
personally think she looks 20 years
4:37
younger and then C lost 20 lbs and said
4:41
thank you for this plan and your support
4:45
I got my life back and H lost 38 lbs and
4:51
is just totally amazing so first thing
4:55
we always talk about is insulin the
4:58
hormone insulin because it's the root
5:01
cause of most of our modernday chronic
5:06
illnesses starting at the bottom of your
5:08
feet neuropathy arthritis of the hips
5:11
and knees PCOS leading cause of male of
5:15
female infertility ovarian cancer colon
5:18
cancer liver cancer non-alcoholic fatty
5:21
liver disease gallbladder disease
5:23
diabetes even pancreatic cancer
5:26
hypoglycemia gird heartburn
5:29
cardiovascular ular disease blood
5:31
pressure autoimmune disease brain fog
5:33
and dementia you know we're calling
5:36
Alzheimer's disease type 3 diabetes that
5:40
should be on the news sugar puts you at
5:43
Great risk for Alzheimer's disease don't
5:47
forget
5:48
that the information I'm giving you
5:50
today is designed to reverse this if
5:53
there is a pill you can imagine how
5:55
expensive it would be besides probably a
5:58
lot of side effects nasty ones in fact
6:01
pills medications nothing works as good
6:05
as diet and lifestyle medicine for
6:08
chronic conditions of course if you wait
6:11
too long there's no choice there has to
6:14
be serious intervention many times
6:18
life-saving surgery is
6:21
needed I've had many ill clients like
6:23
this and this is what they
6:25
did first of all I focus on food food
6:30
moves the gauge faster but lifestyle is
6:33
important too but I'll get to that later
6:35
so insulin resistance what is it well
6:40
because it's the root cause of all these
6:42
diseases I talked about a second ago and
6:45
it's what I had from probably 8 years
6:47
old no wonder I do what I do reversing
6:51
your insulin resistance is the most
6:53
important thing you can do insulin is
6:56
the hormone released by the pancreas
6:58
when you eat carbs sugars starches all
7:01
that kind of stuff these carbs raise
7:03
your blood sugar and insulin's job is to
7:07
bring down blood sugar by basically
7:10
unlocking the cells and allowing it to
7:12
go in the cell so it can have
7:15
energy if you eat more carbs than that
7:19
cell can use right then and there it's
7:22
stored as fat that's why I call insulin
7:25
the fat storage hormone if we consist
7:29
consistently are eing too many carbs
7:31
especially the sugars and starches the
7:33
body stops responding to insulin it
7:37
becomes just background noise and gets
7:40
ignored and when this happens the
7:43
pancreas is still getting the signal out
7:45
there that it needs to have sugar taken
7:47
care of so it keeps churning out insulin
7:50
insulin goes higher and higher but the
7:53
cell stops responding insulin
7:57
resistance Downstream effect is awful
8:00
it's inflammatory affects every cell and
8:04
ultimately not only is insulin high but
8:08
blood sugar starts to climb too that is
8:11
going to result in weight gain around
8:15
the
8:16
waistline brain fog Cravings fatigue
8:21
weakness sleepiness cardiovascular
8:24
disease cholesterol triglycerides libido
8:28
erectile dysfunction in ility neuropathy
8:31
autoimmune disease you get the idea it's
8:35
at the core of just about every chronic
8:39
disease so what's the cure simple lower
8:43
simple sugars and starches get your
8:47
carbs from non-starchy carbs vegetables
8:51
and low sugar fruit the absolute worst
8:55
four
8:56
foods that you can eat and will make you
9:00
gain weight number one flour bread
9:04
muffins Bagel Bagels crackers they are
9:08
so finely ground that that is going to
9:09
spike blood sugar faster than plain
9:12
sugar back in the '90s Australia
9:14
researchers came up with the glycemic
9:16
index and prove that second thing sugar
9:20
high fructose corn syrup is probably the
9:22
worst but sugar honey maple syrup even
9:25
artificial sweeteners can Spike insulin
9:29
third thing starches potatoes almost all
9:33
grains
9:35
cereals yeah that whole cereal aisle the
9:37
worst and number four juices and milk
9:41
I'm not saying they're not delicious but
9:44
I'm saying you can get into big trouble
9:46
eating them too often minimize these for
9:51
your health and weight loss will
9:55
improve you'll find the more you bring
9:58
your body back into balance by avoiding
10:01
foods that Spike insulin and incorporate
10:04
healthy habits into everyday life the
10:06
less you're going to need to focus on
10:09
actually trying to lose weight your body
10:12
will just naturally balance itself out
10:16
over time and eventually settle on a
10:19
healthier lower weight it is not just
10:23
calories in and calories out that is
10:27
promoted by the mega food companies it's
10:30
the kind of food it's how your body
10:32
processes broccoli or nuts over muffins
10:37
cookies and cakes there was this twin
10:39
study you're going to love this took
10:41
twins identical twins identical jeans
10:44
identical weight then they fed them both
10:48
identical calories but one got processed
10:51
calories you know the way the American
10:54
typically eats and the other got whole
10:57
unprocessed real food no bars no powders
11:02
no potions nothing just real food same
11:06
calories same exercise same everything
11:09
except processed versus
11:11
unprocessed wow the processed food twin
11:17
gained weight the unprocessed food twin
11:22
lost weight now if that doesn't speak
11:25
thousands of words I don't know what
11:28
will so one big guideline to be sure you
11:31
get enough quality protein in your diet
11:34
that goes along with everything because
11:36
it's been proven to assist weight loss
11:39
and the reason for this is because amino
11:41
acids are really effective at keeping
11:44
you satisfied longer and increasing
11:47
metabolism a diet high in protein is
11:50
going to keep you Fuller longer and that
11:52
means food cravings will be reduced and
11:56
you're going to have the amino acids to
11:58
build muscle muscles you're not going to
12:01
overeat you're not going to binge nearly
12:03
as
12:04
often okay what well further is the
12:08
whole food diet plan love Dr carara
12:12
Fitzgerald wrote the book younger you
12:15
and she uses a diet plan very similar to
12:19
mine that I
12:20
recommend the participants were in an
12:23
8we study that reversed aging by
12:28
3.23 years
12:30
as measured by the latest DNA techniques
12:32
8 weeks 3.23 years you know more studies
12:37
are going on but 8 weeks to see
12:40
permanent change oh my gosh four weeks
12:43
wasn't enough and I'd like to see what
12:46
happens on my 12we programs you know so
12:49
here goes there are four superfoods that
12:52
help reverse aging as measured by the
12:55
gold standard DNA testing green tea
12:58
Rosemary and acaria Italy loves Rosemary
13:03
turmeric my favorite extract curcumin
13:06
and pomegranates those are four things
13:09
that Cara Fitzgerald um and all of her
13:12
research she's recommended but also
13:15
consider all the colorful fruits and
13:17
vegetables cranberries blueberries
13:20
quinoa cruciferous vegetables green
13:23
leafies especially Organics they have
13:26
superpowers when it comes to Healing the
13:28
body or preventing illness and disease
13:32
the
13:34
benefits they you know they come from
13:36
the
13:37
phytonutrients those
13:39
25,000 I love saying that
13:42
25,000 phytonutrients who counted them I
13:45
don't know I don't care but they're
13:48
there and they are in those plants that
13:50
protect our health as we age Dr Terry
13:53
walls you know the doctor that has the
13:56
foundational plan for reversing
13:58
autoimmune disease like she reversed her
14:02
own non her own non- remitting Ms she
14:07
use that diet food is the most powerful
14:11
medicine on the planet or the slowest
14:16
poison you get a
14:18
pick okay next Point goes without saying
14:21
we have to avoid sugar but why okay so
14:25
many studies on the effects of sugar on
14:28
heart health Mental Health Health immune
14:30
Health pretty much every aspect of the
14:33
word Health the results are
14:36
conclusive and you know have led to the
14:39
general dislike of the s word among
14:43
health professionals it does nothing
14:45
good for us and it robs us of vitamins
14:49
minerals it comes to the party
14:53
empty-handed I say if I were the devil
14:56
and I couldn't outright kill people I'd
14:58
get them addicted to sugar
15:00
it is so addictive it is eight times
15:03
more addictive than cocaine just watch
15:06
people defend it it's pretty bad and bad
15:12
for brain health dementia is being
15:14
called type3 diabetes whereas not
15:18
totally accurate it communicates the
15:20
concept when I was getting my doctorate
15:22
in Maryland we were studying brison's
15:24
protocol in the holistic fi field we
15:28
really think he should be given the
15:29
Nobel Prize Dale breson amazing he's a
15:33
leading Alzheimer's researchers and
15:35
avoiding sugar is underscored in his
15:39
overall program you know know anybody
15:41
with dementia do they have a sweet tooth
15:43
do they love their muffins and breads
15:46
yeah in my latest weight loss for Life
15:48
program I had one gal that within a week
15:50
her brain fog was gone and mental
15:53
Clarity returned as well as mood
15:57
improved less anxiety and depressed
16:00
feelings now let's talk about three
16:02
hormones leptin grin and cck chicy ainin
16:07
Le leptin is made in fat cells and
16:09
supposed to really stop appetite however
16:13
insulin resistance is just like leptin
16:16
resistance and then grin is supposed to
16:19
increase the appetite so it stops when
16:22
you've had enough it stops working just
16:25
like insulin resistance does cck is Rel
16:29
at least when there's fat in the diet so
16:30
it promotes satisfaction have a little
16:33
fat in every meal a powerful tool to
16:36
reset leptin grin and insulin is
16:39
intermittent fasting theory is that you
16:43
eat for a period of time followed by a
16:46
period of fasting this gives the body
16:49
blood sugar and most importantly insulin
16:51
time to regulate and settle back so that
16:55
you know the naturally low States before
16:57
they in they elevate again
17:00
you know intermittent fasting is great
17:03
