This video, "Younger Longer," by Deb Ford DCN RDN, discusses how to improve metabolic health, lose weight, and feel younger. Deb shares insights from a medical conference on longevity and highlights the declining health of children due to processed foods, using Froot Loops as an example. She emphasizes that metabolic health is crucial for overall well-being and introduces a 10-day challenge and the "Atomic Habits" book concept to help viewers make small, sustainable changes in diet, exercise, and rest to achieve their health goals.
Key Takeaways
1
The speaker attends top medical conferences to bring the latest research on longevity and health.
2
Programs focused on metabolic health can lead to significant weight loss and a feeling of being decades younger, with some studies showing biological age reversal in just 8 weeks.
3
Treating your body like a high-performance car by providing good fuel and maintenance is essential for long-term health, as opposed to a "hooptie" that can run on any fuel.
4
Many common packaged foods, like Froot Loops, contain harmful ingredients such as modified food starch, hydrogenated oils, artificial dyes, and preservatives that are linked to health issues like cancer and hyperactivity.
5
The health of children has significantly declined over the past 60 years, with increased rates of acne, obesity, autism, ADHD, and type 2 diabetes, partly due to poor nutrition.
6
The body is designed to heal and thrive naturally if given the right nutrition, movement, and by removing barriers like toxins, stress, and lack of sleep.
7
Metabolic health is directly connected to overall well-being, affecting energy, mood, and mental clarity.
8
Making small, consistent changes, as described in "Atomic Habits," can lead to remarkable transformations in metabolic health over time.
9
The three keys to a successful metabolic reset are fueling your body wisely with whole, unprocessed foods, moving with purpose, and prioritizing rest and recovery.
10
A strong mindset is crucial for health success, involving shifting from "I can't" to "I will" and recognizing that every small step forward is a victory.

0:47
conference where the whole thing was
0:51
longevity 6,000 medical professionals
0:55
learning and teaching about
0:58
longevity how to stay younger longer and
1:03
I'm bringing it all back to you you know
1:05
a year ago when I brought back my weight
1:08
loss for Life program the response was
1:11
amazing and the results were
1:15
stupendous not uncommon for clients to
1:18
lose 30 to 40 pounds and feel decades
1:22
younger a couple of my favorite quotes
1:25
my brain is back and another I feel like
1:29
I got my life back
1:31
or this one I had a goal to wear this
1:33
jumpsuit in bikini on vacation and I did
1:36
I got so many compliments you know I
1:39
have such fun showing people the way and
1:42
supporting them in making those changes
1:45
there is a great book called Younger You
1:48
by Dr Cara Fitzgerald she's got a
1:51
program similar to mine and she reports
1:54
in her book she reports on her program
1:56
where she documents where they were bi
2:00
logically younger in 3 well in 8 weeks
2:05
they tested
2:07
3.23 years younger you know and I see
2:10
the same thing pretty similar programs
2:13
people feel better younger way younger
2:16
too because the outside simply is a
2:18
reflection of what's going on on the
2:21
inside so I decided to start the new
2:24
year with a 10day challenge that will
2:28
incorporate my heavenly cleanse to help
2:31
you reset your metabolism so your
2:34
metabolic Health can
2:37
improve ex imagine waking up every day
2:40
feeling energized light alive
2:44
comfortable in your own skin not
2:47
avoiding the scale or the mirror you
2:50
know this isn't just a dream it is
2:52
possible when you give the body the
2:55
reset it
2:57
deserves right now you may feel like
2:59
nothing is working you keep trying new
3:02
things but nothing works well a
3:06
metabolic reset isn't just about weight
3:10
loss it's about unlocking the best
3:13
version of you you need to treat your
3:16
body like a fine automobile with the
3:19
best fuel not a hoopti that you can put
3:23
any fuel in but like a Ferrari Ferrari
3:27
or a Tesla you know you put in the best
3:30
High test gas or plug it into the 220 do
3:34
all the proper recommended maintenance
3:36
and it will give you years of great
3:40
performance but if you don't do the
3:42
maintenance whether it's the oil change
3:45
or the software updates or if you put
3:48
bad gas in it worse bad gas with water
3:51
in it well guaranteed that's going to
3:54
leave you stranded on the side of the
3:56
road just like if you eat junk I mean
4:00
junk you're foot putting junk in as fuel
4:03
have unhealthy F stress you know if if
4:07
you don't sleep if you don't move and oh
4:10
those toxins I can guarantee you won't
4:14
live your best
4:16
life it truly is so much the basics that
4:20
our culture has just thrown out the
4:23
window people really don't know how to
4:27
get back in sync with what their body
4:30
really needs to thrive I was kind of
4:33
shocked this week I spoke to several
4:36
groups of middle school kids and I took
4:40
a prop and can you guess what the prop
4:42
was a box of Froot Loops that very seral
4:47
that I recently helped to picket and
4:50
protest against Kellogg selling you know
4:52
it's truly junk bad fuel sugar modified
4:58
food starch hydr gated
5:02
oils red dye 40 yellow dye five and six
5:05
blue dye BHT preservative many of these
5:09
kids had it for breakfast did you know
5:12
Kelloggs has the government school
5:14
program
5:15
contract those dyes those
5:18
preservatives totally from petroleum
5:21
products that have been researched and
5:24
known to cause cancer attention problems
5:28
hyperactivity ban and in Canada and
5:32
throughout Europe no wonder our kids are
5:35
so sick and most have a chronic disease
5:39
by the time they graduate high
5:41
school ah yeah unbelievable but you know
5:48
kids couldn't believe it when I said you
5:50
know 60 years ago and of course kids
5:52
can't relate to that but there wasn't
5:55
acne no need for dermatologist no weight
5:59
problems everybody was thin autism was
6:02
unheard of you know maybe one in
6:05
200,000 maybe
6:07
150,000 but now in boys one in
6:12
22 autistic on the
6:15
Spectrum ADHD add never no diabetes and
6:20
you know that was a disease they even
6:22
had to rename it used to be called adult
6:25
onset not type two it was adult onset
6:27
not too long ago that just plump little
6:30
old grandma got and they had to rename
6:33
it because it was showing up in plump
6:34
little 11y
6:36
olds you know renamed it no judgment We
6:40
Now call it type 2 diabetes and fatty
6:43
liver
6:43
disease now common in
6:47
children you know that's crazy because
6:51
fatty liver disease leads to sosis of
6:55
the liver where the liver doesn't do its
6:57
job and you either have to get a liver
6:59
trans or you die this is showing up in
7:02
our
7:03
children shouldn't be so life for kids I
7:07
mean it's just so different the whole
7:09
experience of the for kids is is weird
7:13
no meals cooked from scratch no Gardens
7:17
no eggs for breakfast and oh yeah did
7:20
you know IQ has dropped since the 1950s
7:25
IQ you know I don't know how how they
7:28
reacted after my talk talk and maybe it
7:30
fell on deaf ears especially you know if
7:33
they were in a sugar coma after having
7:35
their Froot Loops I don't know but
7:38
between you and me this is a crisis that
7:41
I feel is critical to be dealt with now
7:44
and soon we've got to reverse this if we
7:47
want to be around in a hundred years so
7:50
really okay so no matter where you're
7:52
starting from thank heaven the body is
7:55
designed to heal designed to thrive it's
7:59
the natur natural state to heal and
8:02
rebuild every day we just have to give
8:04
it what it needs and what it thrives on
8:08
you know great nutrition and movement
8:10
and remove those barriers to Healing
8:14
like those toxins in the food emotional
8:17
stress lack of sleep lack of movement
8:20
you know things we just have to listen
8:23
to the body give it what it needs maybe
8:25
the kids aren't ready to listen but we
8:27
got to show them a good example at least
8:29
you know
8:30
what they're now calling metabolic
8:32
health is really your connection to
8:36
overall well-being metabolism as affects
8:40
energy mood mental Clarity everything
8:43
necessary for long-term
8:46
Health you know in the school you know I
8:49
told them about that analogy of treating
8:52
your body like the fine car like a Tesla
8:54
like a Ferrari well-maintained good fuel
8:58
your metabolism like the engine into the
9:00
car running smoothly you know everything
9:03
is easier brain is clear memory sharp
9:06
concentration laser focused ready to get
9:09
the work done in half the time no need
9:11
for drugs for no anxiety no depression
9:15
whoit not even an issue gut health is a
9:18
given mood upbeat and happy and getting
9:22
through the day well it's just perfect
9:25
for chasing your dreams that's what we
9:28
want to give our kids
9:30
so how do we start making these changes
9:33
so we can be a good example well I love
9:36
looking at science and Behavioral
9:39
Science helps us make these changes
9:42
there's a recent book that's been on the
9:44
bestseller list for years now that it
9:46
shows even small changes can make a huge
9:50
impact in our metabolic Health the love
9:53
the book by James clear out of Dublin
9:55
Ohio it's called Atomic habits in the
9:59
book it expl explains how focusing on
10:01
Tiny Steps tiny changes can make
10:05
remarkable Transformations over time
10:09
instead of you know tackling everything
10:12
all at once you know maybe take a little
10:14
more time and have some long-term
10:16
success by building in healthy habits
10:20
one step at a time you know and small
10:23
changes May align with how the brain is
10:25
wired making it so much easier to
10:28
process to adapt to and to sustain you
10:31
know they also there's less resistance
10:34
when it's just a little change little
10:35
adjustments and then you can't forget
10:38
about The Compound Effect over time
10:41
these habits accumulate and then you've
10:44
got significant progress without the
10:47
major
10:48
upheaval little changes like taking
10:51
extra steps maybe taking the stairs you
10:54
know maybe committing to getting in so
10:57
many thousand steps every day maybe not
10:59
head for 10,000 but if you're doing only
11:02
2,000 maybe go for four and another one
11:07
pass on processed food with those
11:09
barcodes maybe have an apple
11:12
instead get more sleep maybe go to bed
11:15
at the same time every night so you get
11:18
eight hours maybe drink more water by
11:21
putting a glass of water with every meal
11:25
maybe eat your veggies first maybe get a
11:28
little stretch in every day tie it to
11:31
something you already do like right
11:33
before you go to bed or right when you
11:34
get up do some stretches everybody's
11:37
different the journey is unique to you
11:41
alone and we have to remember it's all
11:46
about progress not Perfection not
11:50
Perfection at all small steps that can
11:53
lead to Big results I like to say the
11:55
little hinges That Swing the big door
11:58
and you do you I I love the saying I got
12:01
from a yoga instructor years ago and it
12:03
was no competition no comparison no
12:08
judgment and I think that works for so
12:11
many things there are three keys to a
12:16
successful metabolic reset you choose
12:19
what you want to work on and maybe you
12:21
just start with one step and get that
12:23
ironed in and then hit another but the
12:25
first thing in the metabolic reset is to
12:29
to fuel your body wisely you know simply
12:32
think of every meal as an opportunity to
12:35
nourish your body and soul maybe it's to
12:38
have a veget vegetable with every meal
12:41
or a salad with lots of vegetables on
12:44
them as one of your
12:46
meals maybe switching out the granola
12:49
sugary bar for an apple an
12:53
orange maybe some
12:55
nuts the goal is simply to focus on
12:58
whole
13:00
unprocessed balanced
13:03
foods and I just tell people no barcodes
13:07
and of course hydration get your water
13:09
in second thing in a successful
13:12
metabolic reset reset is you got to move
13:16
you know move with purpose you don't
13:18
need to run marathons to see changes you
13:21
just start with movement that brings you
13:24
happiness you know maybe taking a Walkin
13:28
nature maybe maybe it's dancing to some
13:31
of your favorite
13:33
songs maybe it's doing a little
13:35
stretching maybe a little yoga YouTube
13:37
has so many free videos you know just do
13:41
something every day maybe you know if
13:44
you aim for 20 minutes oh my gosh you
13:47
got it but start with five and just be
13:51
consistent that's super you know I've
13:53
got so many workouts that just take
13:56
seven minutes and you can make
14:01
Improvement you can have great arms a
14:04
great back strong back strong core S
14:10
minutes a day it doesn't take much but
14:12
you got to do it third thing very
14:15
important is to prioritize rest and
14:19
Recovery you know rest is not a luxury
14:23
it is not something that is a weakness
14:27
it is a necessity when you sleep well
14:29
your body heals it resets not only does
14:33
it heal the stress hormones really do
14:36
reset the appetite hormones regulate the
14:40
brain gets rid of beta ameloid plaque
14:46
when you sleep that's the one associated
14:49
with Alzheimer's so rest is not a luxury
14:53
it's an essential part of Health and
14:56
Longevity a couple common obstacles r
14:59
that may come up I want you to be aware
15:01
of is first and anyone who's worked with
15:05
me knows that I believe that the mindset
15:08
is the most important aspect of Health
15:11
in fact the v in my heavenly acronym is
15:15
Viewpoint you know if you have a
15:18
helpless mindset Viewpoint that's got to
15:20
shift you've got to turn the I can't
15:25
into I will I can I am
15:29
you know if you decide to do something
15:33
you don't try you do or you don't if
15:37
you're
15:38
trying I guarantee you're not going to
15:41
be successful there is a super strong
15:44
mind sh shift mind a super strong
15:48
mindset shift say that three times that
15:52
says if you decide that you don't do
15:57
whatever fill in the blank you don't do
16:01
something eat sugar for example you are
16:04
80% more successful at achieving that
16:07
goal you know if you don't do sugar you
16:11
are 80% more likely to walk right past
16:14
the dessert line or right past Aunt
16:16
Millie's irresistible dessert rather
16:20
than going to the party and trying not
16:23
to eat dessert I really cannot
16:26
overestimate the importance of mindset
16:29
View Viewpoint and really every step
16:32
forward everything you accomplish no
16:35
matter how small that's a victory you're
16:36
making big changes second obstacle is
16:40
realizing no one is perfect you can't
16:43
expect yourself to be perfect you're
16:45
going to goof up sometime someplace and
16:48
that's okay you just got to get back on
16:50
track as soon as possible and learn from
16:53
what didn't work because it's not the
16:57
when not it it is the when it's not the
17:01
if you fall off track you know progress
17:04
is in a straight line you got to be
17:05
Grace give yourself a little Grace a jet
17:08
going from one Coast to the other
17:10
doesn't go in a straight line it goes
17:12
from one air traffic controller to
