At one point in our lives, we've made an
assumption an assumption that we ultimately regret it but we probably learned from that assumption. I've made a lot of those bad assumptions in my life. I learned a lot from them but there's one that particularly stands out it absolutely changed my life. So about seven years ago I was struggling with kidney disease and inherited kidney disease called polycystic kidney disease runs rampant in my family. So What Happened? I was in and out of the hospital constantly. I got to tell you something when you're in the hospital that much it gets boring you can only watch so many prices right reruns. You can only sit there and read so many books. So what I would do? am I grab my IV pole and I'd start walking around the hallways. My
source of entertainment was eavesdropping and all the conversations. The nerves were having nurses we're having with their patients like oh that's interesting. I never knew that about cardiovascular diseases next room Cetera I'll never forget one room that I came to. I came upon a gentleman who was being discharged from the hospital from what I could gather from this conversation. He had been in the hospital for quite some time and he had some sort of heart surgery and the nurse said well aren't you excited you're getting out of here is like I'm really excited cuz what are you gonna take my wife out to dinner she does that fantastic where are you gonna take you what oh we're gonna go to McDonald's how much time your wife is gonna be pissed. you're going to McDonald's oh goodness some like says how are the nerves gonna respond to this and she said phone. I don't know that's the greatest idea and his response which changed my life. He said don't worry I'm going to get the fish fillet so immediately grabbed my IV form walked or Jeff's room you kidding my fish fillet. I Was really and I kind of thought about what he said and all the time that I spent in the hospital dialysis genius doctors offices all these people that I came across that were struggling with the disease. I heard that had supported these people because I knew a lot of them were there because of the choices they made in the foods they ate and inactivity in their lives. But I was that was not a good thing for me to do it's a very bad attitude was my background is in health from exercise science these people don't know better when I go back and think about his response and he said don't worry I'm going to get that fish sandwich he actually thought that was a healthy choice he thought that was a good decision and that's when I said you know what if I recover for when I'm going through my goal is to reach as many people as possible to make sure they understand the simple aspects of nutrition and exercise and how they can change our lives. listen I want to change a lot of the 315 plus million people in the US that's a lot what's interesting a hunt and 17 million of those people have one or more chronic diseases that could have been offset If they chose better foods if they move around a little bit more
1.5 billion people are either obese or overweight listen I can talk sophistic s-- all day numbers all day but I don't listen I can talk sophistic s-- all day numbers all day but I don't want to talk about that there are many variables that we can do to change this. I'm going to talk about one and that's how we get our information and how to keep the information simple. listen we hear about nutrition and exercise every single day we see it on social media. Alcala friends to di,nner we talk about it news magazines whatever it may be we hear about what's right what's wrong, etc and then you have all the experts all right I put that lightly experts okay ultimately these experts are pushing supplements they're pushing extreme ways to exercise, etc often they're making things more difficult and often what they preach is not evidence-based there's no scientific literature to support it openly they're getting something out of it. All right but when we take away it's not simple they're making things way too difficult so I broke the Northeast Philly. I'm a small guy I have big math so I figured you know what I can learn how to defend myself at one point in my life. So I started taking you to know from a very early age. I started taking some blocks and some karate little bit of wrestling. I did this all the way up into my late forties can I saw a lot instructors and I'll never forget this one structure. I he was very very good and the reason was he stuck to the fundamentals we went in there every day and we learned the same punches the same kicks the same footwork I learned a lot from, him they carry over and to me learning those skills the rest of my life in and holding awesome now a lot of otherhers instructors I came across basically the first day we're going to learn couple you know a bunch of the second day you're going to learn a flying jump kick what wine is okay Ellie not a punching you're having jump off chairs I was thank you didn't stick to the fun to that there's a great saying proverb I love it to be the man a fish you feed a meal teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime I want to feed people for a lifetime with the fundamentals and listen it's not that hard if you go shopping right all right today I'm going to eat strawberries I'm going to put it down strawberry pop-tarts congratulations you made a fantastic decision if you decide to get the oatmeal over Cap'n Crunch that's a terrible decision Captain Crunch is the best area on you see we're on the dog, we can keep this pretty simple but unfortunately what makes nutrition specifically so hard to understand so hard to grasp is the diet out there everyone one point in our life has been on a diet and unfortunately, diets make things difficult that is like religion nowadays Some instructors often eliminate processed foods this is it which is a good thing and they often eliminate one major macronutrient whether it's protein fat carbohydrate what this does we intake fewer calories or more structured like. 
Some instructors lays stress on us to get more and more proteins and carbohydrates but according to the research that you have to absorb about 72-kilo calories each day in order to remain healthy and fit. So please keep a distance from such types of instructors. ''To ensure good health eat lightly, live moderately and breathe deeply''
