  • Dr Michael Mosley: Fasting, Reversing Diabetes, Moving More & Exercising Less

    This week we catch up with BBC journalist Dr

    Michael Mosley. He shares with us his discoveries
    when it comes to exercise, calorie counting and why it's not the
    best approach to shift that abdominal fat.

    Note: We are all huge fans of exercise

    and incorporate it into our lives most days. But we feel it's
    important to understand the relationship between exercise and
    weight loss.

    About Michael

    Mosley: Michael Mosley is a British
    television journalist, producer and presenter who has worked for
    the BBC for many years. He is also host of
    SBS's Trust Me, I'm a
    Doctor series and best selling author
    including 'The 8-Week Blood Sugar Die't and 'The Fast
    Diet'.

    Questions we ask in this episode:

    • What sparked your curiosity to explore using nutrition over
    • medication?
    • What can we do to prevent diabetes before it ever becomes a
    • problem?
    • Is exercise of any benefit where our weight is concerned?
    • Please describe the basic principals of the BSD (blood
    • sugar diet)
    • What are the tell-tale signs of pre-diabetes?

      Welcome to another episode of the

      Health Sessions, where of course we cut through the confusion by
      connecting with leading global health awareness experts to share
      the best, the latest science thinking empowering people to turn
      their health and lives around. On this week’s episode, we are doing
      it with doctor Michel Mosley.

      Now if you are not familiar with

      doctor Michael Mosley, he's a British television journalist,
      producer and presenter who has worked for the BBC for many, many
      years. He's probably best known as a presenter of television
      programs on biology of medicine, and has regular appearances on The
      One Show. More recently he's been well known for the 5:2 diet which
      is regarding intermittent fasting and its relationship to help
      turning diabetes around on pre-diabetics.

      More recently as well he's just

      released a book called the 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet which again is a
      about calorie restriction and reversing diabetes. Now, we get into
      all sorts of topics today. Whether you are diabetic or not, it
      doesn't matter. There's nuggets of information right throughout the
      broadcast. If you do know people that might potentially be
      diabetic, or pre-diabetic, then it's certainly a podcast you should
      want to share with them, to help educate people to make better and
      informed choices.

      Because he really shares some

      interesting discoveries along his way that he's found over the
      years, and being a journalist he's a prolific researcher, and he
      goes into his own journey today as well, because Michael himself
      was diagnosed pre-diabetic. I think it was back in 2012, and of
      course being a doctor and on TV show, it came as a bit of a shock
      to him. He started looking at it and hence why these books have
      come out and his own experiments. He talks about how he's
      incorporated into his life as well. His interesting thoughts around
      exercise as well and how sometimes less is more, and the things he
      does just to maintain his health and how his thoughts around the
      diet and the food we eat has changed a lot of over the years. I
      know he will be actually preaching to the converted, or to a lot of
      our listeners on the regular podcast.

      Sit back, I've no doubt you are

      going to thoroughly enjoy this episode with Michael Mosley today.
      Of course if you are enjoying our episodes, just subscribe them,
      and hit the 5 star on iTunes. That helps with rankings and of
      course leave a comment as well if you like, always great to hear
      from you, but drop us an email as well. Tell us how these podcasts
      are affecting you, and if there's anything that you are learning
      from it, we love hearing from you guys. It really helps us knowing
      that we are reaching many people, actually bringing up this
      information and empower themselves, to change their own lives and
      turn them around which is fantastic. Anyway, I'm going to stop
      talking now. Let’s go back to my doctor Michael Mosley.

      Hi this Guy at 180 Nutrition and welcome today’s health sessions where we are cutting through the confusion by connecting with leading global health and wellness experts to share the best of the latest science and thinking empowering people to turn their health and lives around. This week we’re doing it with Ocean Robbins. He was fantastic today and he is a ball of energy. Now, if you’re not familiar with who Ocean is, his grandfather was Irvine Robbins who was the founder of Baskin and Robbins ice cream company in America. Yes, a little ice cream company you might have heard of. His father ended up walking away from the whole empire in his 20′s and felt like he wanted to do more good in the world and ended up writing a best selling book called The Food Revolution. Now Ocean then, has come along and co-founded The Food Revolution Network which I think he said started in 2012. Where they’re looking at pretty much what the hell is going on in our food chain and food supply globally. Looking at the politics from the side view as well.

      Amazing topic today, Ocean shares so much of his wisdom. We talk about obviously the food revolution. What is it? What’s going on? We discuss GMOs, organics. What’s happening to our food supply. Corporate interests. What I loved about Ocean today, he really broke it down and kept it onto a level that will relate to us all. I don’t know about you, but for me personally we can feel so disconnected from the bigger political things that are going on in the world. Ocean really gets it across fantastic today, so I have no doubt you’re going to get a lot out of this podcast.

      Now, I always ask for a review every week, and I’m going to do so again. There’s been some fantastic reviews coming in on the show of lately on iTunes. If you could take two minutes to leave us a review. Let us know how these podcasts are helping you. Where you listen to them too? Obviously give us some honest feedback as well. We greatly appreciate every single one. We read them all. Yeah, it’s just going to help us get this word out there, and continue to empower people to make their own decisions with their lives moving forward and make better health choices. Awesome. Let’s go over Ocean Robbins. Enjoy. Okay cool. Hi this is Guy Lawrence. I’m joined with Stuart Cook as always. Hi Stuart.

      Stu:Hello mate.

      Guy:Our awesome guest today is Ocean Robbins. Ocean, welcome to the show.

      Ocean:Well thanks so much. My pleasure to be with you.

      Guy:Yeah this is fantastic. What I thought Ocean, I’d start with a small detail first. If someone stopped you on the street, a complete stranger, and asked you, “What do you do?” what would you say?

      Ocean:Oh my goodness. I would say that I have the best job in the world, which is, I get to help people be healthy. I get to help people say goodbye to some of their aches and pains, and excess pounds. To step into a healthier life. A life where our food choices become an expansion of our values and what really want for our lives and our future. I get to help people break free from suffering and a toxic food culture and step into the life that they want and deserve. I do that through running the Food Revolution Network, which is an online community of 250,000 members working globally for a real food revolution in our own personal lives and on our planet.

      Guy:Yeah, amazing, amazing. That’s such a community Ocean. For our listeners, we always kick off the show about the discussing the journey, the background a little bit. I would love to hear a little bit about your own personal journey, your family story, and everything that’s kind of fueling this revolution that you’re doing today. Would you mind sort of taking us through it all?

      Ocean:Absolutely. My grandfather founded an ice cream company. It was called Baskin-Robbins, 31 flavors. My dad grew up with an ice cream cone shaped swimming pool in the back yard, and 31 flavors of ice cream in the freezer. He was being groomed to one day join and running the family company, but when he was offered that chance in his early 20s he said, no. He walked away from huge amounts of fame and fortune, because he wanted to follow his own rocky road. He actually ended up becoming a best selling author on food and health issues. He ended up speaking out, the media called him the rebel without a cone. Low and behold, his books became best sellers.

      My own grandfather, his dad, ended up kind of on death’s door being handed a copy of my dad’s books by his doctors. Told, “Mr. Robbins if you want to live, I recommend you read this.” He did, turned his life around, lost 30 pounds, got off all of 7his high blood pressure and diabetes medications, golf game improved seven strokes, added another 20 more healthy years to his life. We’ve seen in our own family the incredible power that food choices can have to harm and to heal. My dad continued as a best selling author, speaking, organizing for a food revolution for decades. I, when I was 16 inspired by his example, founded a non-profit organization and worked with young leaders all over the planet for peace and justice and human rights, and sustainability.

      I work with leaders in over 65 countries. As I traveled the globe and work with people for 20 years directing the non profit, I saw that everybody eats, and that what we eat is having this huge impact. That the American sort of diet, the KFC’s and McDonald’s, and Coca Cola’s. The ways of growing food with all the pesticides and GMOs, all this is being exported around the world. As people give up their traditional ways of life, and their traditional ways of eating, their waistlines are expanding, their medical bills are going up, they’re getting more sick, they’re getting, quite frankly, more [inaudible 00:05:32]. I love being an American but an industry guard. I want to send out a warning to the world. Like we know where this path goes, right? We spend 19% of our gross domestic product on disease treatment in my country. A third of our kids expect to get diabetes and two-thirds of our population is overweight or obese.

      Guy:That’s huge.

      • Lee Holmes: Ayurveda, Gut Health & Using Real Food to Beat My Autoimmune Disease

        I love this interview with Lee Holmes. She tells us about her battle with an autoimmune disease and how she overcame it. On diagnosis, the doctors heavily prescribed her pharmaceutical drugs and told her that nutrition played no part in her recovery (while she was fed stale white bread in hospital as part of her diet!).

        About Lee Holmes: She is an holistic nutritionist, a qualified wholefoods chef and wellness coach. She is also the founder of Supercharged Food, which is a website that stemmed from a need to share easy and simple recipes after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease; fibromyalgia and changing her diet to help improve her symptoms.

        Questions we ask in this episode:

        • Please share your journey and history with your autoimmune disease.
        • What led you to investigate nutrition as a healing protocol and use food as medicine?
        • What were the foods/food groups that you eliminated as part of your healing process?
        • We’d love to talk about your Ayurvedic journey… first up – what is Ayurveda?
        • If someone suspects their gut is not healthy, what three tips would you give them to start their own healing journey?
        • And much much more…

        welcome to this week's health sessions, where we cut through the confusion by connecting with leading global health and well experts to share the best of the latest science and thinking empowering people to turn their health and lives around. We're doing it this week with our fantastic guest Lee Holmes, who is the co-founder of Supercharged Food. She has an amazing story to tell. She was diagnosed with an autoim-, get my words out, autoimmune disease probably, I think it was 5 or 6 years ago. When she went to the doctors they wanted to prescribe her medication, and told her that she could potentially go on it for the rest of her life. She had a big wake-up call and decided to take the more holistic route, and 5 to 6 years on she has been doing fantastically well and has been spreading the word of healthy nutrition, gut health, et cetera.

        We tap into Lee's wisdom today, if you like, on Ayurvedic journey as well, which was very fascinating in how that can apply to us, and the steps she took to also heal her own gut where she believes, and I believe too, that most of our health issues can come from as well. She also shares some great tips for anyone starting out on their own gut health journey ... So how we can apply it into our today's lives. So lots of great content in there, and I have no doubt you're going to get a huge amount out of this. As always, as well, I'm going to ask if you wouldn't mind leaving a review, subscribing to us and hitting the 5 star. Super important on iTunes, it basically helps us bring all this message on wellness to millions as we've made it our mission to turning lives around. And if you're really enjoying the podcast and you do get something out of it, I'd be greatly appreciative. You just take 30 seconds to do that for us, and that will help reach other people too. So let's go over to Lee Holmes, enjoy the episode. Thank you.

        • Justin Smith Of Statin Nation: The Dangers Of Low Cholesterol, Statin Drugs & Pharmaceutical Interests.

          Do you know someone taking statin drugs or has concerns regarding their cholesterol? If so then this interview is a must!

          Our awesome guest this week is Justin Smith. He's the man behind the documentaries Statin Nation and Statin Nation II which are documentary films about cholesterol and cholesterol lowering medications.

          Have we got it all wrong? In the short video above we discuss the major concerns of having your cholesterol too low and the health risks that go with it.

          More than 40 million people around the world are currently taking medications to lower their cholesterol level. But an increasing number of doctors and researchers are questioning the supposed link between cholesterol and heart disease.

          29 billion dollars is a conservative estimate of the current value of the cholesterol-lowering industry.

          Questions we ask in this episode:

          • What advice would you give to anyone who is currently taking statin drugs?
          • In your opinion what really causes heart disease?
          • What are the most common side-effects of statin drugs?
          • Could we really be so wrong when it comes to cholesterol and heart disease?
          • How does the Director of Statin Nation eat?
          • And much much more...

          Our awesome guest today is Justin Smith, Justin welcome to the show. Justin: Thank you very much, great to be here.

          Guy: Mate I just realized this morning that you are our fourth documentary maker to come on the show. They’ve always said the same thing like when they started out they had this great idea and they went boy, that’s a lot of hard work. My first question to you is just for our listeners who might not be familiar, what led you in the first place to actually think about starting to make a documentary?

          Justin: Well it was a surprise to me, because a number of years ago if someone said you’ll end up making documentary films I would have said, oh you are [00:03:00] crazy, that’s never going to happen. I got into this through the issue really

          because I was working a number of years ago as a personal trainer and nutrition coach. Through my own independent research, I became aware of the cholesterol myths, and all the myths associated with the fact thatwe … Well we are told that we all need a low fat diet. I just found out when working with clients that didn’t work for a huge number of clients, so that prompted me to do my own research into it.

          I came across … There is a doctrine in Sweden many people would already be aware of. Doctor [inaudible 00:03:28] and he of the classic [inaudible 00:03:48].

          Guy: Sorry Justin, it’s breaking up a little bit.

          Justin: Okay, so after reading [inaudible 00:03:55] Scott’s book, then eventually I [00:04:00] kept on doing my own … More of my own independent research, and that

          led to me self publishing my own book about cholesterol. After publishing the book I was still very frustrated, because I wanted to get the information out to a lot more people, and they came up with the idea of making a documentary film. They had to contact some of the key researchers in that field, and I was actually relay surprised they all said yes, most of them said yes, and eventually got the first documentary together Statin Nation. That was really well received, so I went on then to make Statin Nation 2.

          Guy: Statin Nation came out 2012, is that correct?

          Justin: Yes, at the end of 2012 it was released online and then the DVD was available early 2013.

          Guy: Yeah right yeah.Justin: Then Statin Nation 2 was released in March 2015.

          [00:05:00]Stu: I got a story to share as well Justin, so I remember first stumbling upon

          Statin Nation on the internet somewhere, and I ordered a copy of the DVD and saw it, and thought wow this is like radical stuff and really, really inspiring and thought provoking. Then because I live in Sydney and my parents are in the UK, and then I had a phone call with my parents, my mom and dad, and I said to my dad how are you doing? He said I’m okay, and there is my mom in the background, and she said tell him about the pills you are on, and I said, oh, well so tell me about these pills. He said, oh I have just been put on some medication to help because my cholesterol is really high.

          He said I’m not feeling very well, he said my legs are really aching and I get

          really, really tired, and I just don’t feel myself. I asked him what the name [00:06:00] of the pills were, and I did little bit of research and realized that they were Statin drug, and was shocked especially after watching the movie. I ordered a copy of the movie, and sent it to his house in the UK, and I said I want you to watch this and then I want you to give this to your doctor. He watched and he said, oh God I can’t believe this is just … This is crazy stuff. He did exactly that, he gave it to his doctor as well and his doctor watched it, and his doctor took my dad off the pills and said, I need to do some more research. Subsequently from this point forward like he’s been fine and all of the side effects that he was experiencing have disappeared.

          Really, really thought provoking and just great to be able to point somebody to an independent impartial source to say, “Look, I’ve found this stuff, but you relay need to watch this and make up your own opinions,” so thanks so much for making the movie, it was excellent.

        • Justin Smith Of Statin Nation: The Dangers Of Low Cholesterol, Statin Drugs & Pharmaceutical Interests.

          Do you know someone taking statin drugs or has concerns regarding their cholesterol? If so then this interview is a must!

          Our awesome guest this week is Justin Smith.  He's the man behind the documentaries Statin Nation and Statin Nation II which are documentary films about cholesterol and cholesterol lowering medications.

          Have we got it all wrong? In the short video above we discuss the major concerns of having your cholesterol too low and the health risks that go with it.

          More than 40 million people around the world are currently taking medications to lower their cholesterol level. But an increasing number of doctors and researchers are questioning the supposed link between cholesterol and heart disease.

          29 billion dollars is a conservative estimate of the current value of the cholesterol-lowering industry.

          Questions we ask in this episode:

          • What advice would you give to anyone who is currently taking statin drugs?
          • In your opinion what really causes heart disease?
          • What are the most common side-effects of statin drugs?
          • Could we really be so wrong when it comes to cholesterol and heart disease?
          • How does the Director of Statin Nation eat?
          • And much much more...
          • Our awesome guest today is Justin Smith, Justin welcome to the show. Justin: Thank you very much, great to be here.

            Guy: Mate I just realized this morning that you are our fourth documentary maker to come on the show. They’ve always said the same thing like when they started out they had this great idea and they went boy, that’s a lot of hard work. My first question to you is just for our listeners who might not be familiar, what led you in the first place to actually think about starting to make a documentary?

            Justin: Well it was a surprise to me, because a number of years ago if someone said you’ll end up making documentary films I would have said, oh you are [00:03:00] crazy, that’s never going to happen. I got into this through the issue really

            because I was working a number of years ago as a personal trainer and nutrition coach. Through my own independent research, I became aware of the cholesterol myths, and all the myths associated with the fact that
            we … Well we are told that we all need a low fat diet. I just found out when working with clients that didn’t work for a huge number of clients, so that prompted me to do my own research into it.

            I came across … There is a doctrine in Sweden many people would already be aware of. Doctor [inaudible 00:03:28] and he of the classic [inaudible 00:03:48].

            Guy: Sorry Justin, it’s breaking up a little bit.

            Justin: Okay, so after reading [inaudible 00:03:55] Scott’s book, then eventually I [00:04:00] kept on doing my own … More of my own independent research, and that

            led to me self publishing my own book about cholesterol. After publishing the book I was still very frustrated, because I wanted to get the information out to a lot more people, and they came up with the idea of making a documentary film. They had to contact some of the key researchers in that field, and I was actually relay surprised they all said yes, most of them said yes, and eventually got the first documentary together Statin Nation.

          • Dr Bruce Lipton: At Last, Scientific Proof of How Our Thoughts Can Make Us Healthy or Sick

            “When you find yourself on a vicious cycle, for goodness sakes, stop peddling!” — Swami Beyondananda”― Bruce H. Lipton, Cell Bilogist & Best Selling Author

            Have you wondered how much our thoughts can determine our overall health? Does living in the states of love and happiness versus fear and anxiety impact us long term? This episode dives deep into how or our thoughts, beliefs and perceptions can directly affect our health.

            Our awesome guest this week is Dr Bruce Lipton. If you're not familiar with his work, then you would definitely in for an eye opening treat. He is internationally recognized leader in bridging Science and spirit together. He's a stem cell biologist, best selling author of the Biology of Belief and he has been a guest speaker on hundreds of TV and radio shows as well as keynote presenters from national and international conferences all around the world.

            I actually think it's probably one of the most important podcasts we have recorded to date. So sit back and enjoy the full interview with Dr Bruce Lipton.

            Some of his best selling books include - The Biology of Belief, Spontaneous Evolution and The Honeymoon Effect.

            Questions we ask in this episode:

            • What is the biology of belief?
            • Is it true that 95% of our day is run by subconscious programing of our past?
            • How do we change the programing?
            • Are we a victim of our genetics?
            • How can we change our beliefs and perceptions?
            • What is 'super' learning?
            • And much much more...

            Full Transcript Here: http://180nutrition.com.au/180-tv/bruce-lipton-interview/

            Bruce: I am so happy to be here with you guys because you guys are putting out the word about how we can move into this world peaceably, happily and moving to the future. Thank you for this opportunity and also I want to thank you for letting me speak to your community because we have some wonderful things to talk about for self empowerment.

            Guy: Oh, a hundred percent, a hundred percent. You know it's interesting and I have to ask you this question, because when people ask me how do you describe Bruce's work, I go, "Oh." You know, and I really have to think about it. My first question will be to you, if you are on an airplane and a complete stranger sat next to you and then asked you what did you do for a living, what would you say?

            Bruce: I help people empower themselves to take back their control of their lives and to realize that they're not victims of forces outside of their control that they're actual masters of their lives. Since the lack of a certain amount of knowledge, they're not being able to effectively control themselves. You know, it's interesting there's a phrase called "knowledge is power" and yet there's a corollary that's very, it's much more relevant and that is "a lack of knowledge is a lack of power." We are powerless not because we're not powerful but we are powerless because of the programming and knowledge that we have received is actually disempowering for us as individuals.
