00:02:34.000So for those of you that are not totally familiar with you or your story, who are you?
00:02:38.000And tell us why you're so passionate about making America healthy again.
00:02:42.000Gosh, well, I am a former fat kid that fell into fitness because I got into martial arts.
00:02:49.000And I learned over the course of many years and great instruction that when you feel strong physically, you feel strong in every facet of your life.
00:02:57.000Fell into being a fitness trainer, ended up working.
00:05:01.000And very important, you're allowed to eat and drink with people next to you at 35,000 feet.
00:05:06.000But once you land in LA, all the restaurants are closed.
00:05:10.000Because you're not allowed to eat next to people in LA, but you're allowed to eat next to people on your flight to LA sitting right next to you.
00:06:39.000And I had, you know, an on-again, off-again relationship with the network and the producers for all of the reasons that the show remains controversial.
00:06:47.000But nevertheless, it gave me a global megaphone and I'm grateful for it and hopefully doing better things with it.
00:08:25.000So you're born with a predisposition for things.
00:08:27.000And I'm sure you've heard from fantastic MDs far more credible than me tell you that while genetics loads the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger.
00:08:41.000So while I may not get to eat as much as my son, who can eat anything and everything and never gain a pound, and it's exceptionally frustrating, but with that said, if I am mindful about what I eat, I can be very healthy.
00:08:56.000So you simply have to address the fact that your genes are predisposed to slower metabolism.
00:09:03.000So de-emphasis on genetics, which I love because I feel as if that is disempowering.
00:12:54.000But I could make an argument, though, that even with a smoke, like, it's funny, when more people smoked, we were a healthier country.
00:13:01.000There were also a lot of other factors.
00:13:03.000The food, milk was not filled with hormones and antibiotics and ultra-processed food was really just sugar and fat, not high fructose corn syrup and 10,000 other ingredients that are designed to trigger the dopamine center in your brain and impede your satiety hormones.
00:13:32.000All right, so it depends on what you're trying to achieve.
00:13:34.000If you're trying to maintain your weight, food is a factor, but if you're working out, it's arguably the most effective tool at maintaining metabolism.
00:14:21.000I mean, that's like your best case scenario and you'll end up destroying your health.
00:14:24.000So steady state cardio, that's how I would kind of push them.
00:14:27.000I would make them go on what I would call the walk to China, although that's probably the wrong country to bring up here, but it had no, it had no charge back in the day.
00:15:41.000It was the gamification of weight loss, which I actually don't agree with and was one of the things that I took umbrage with the producers.
00:15:48.000But they would go home week one, week two, week three.
00:15:51.000But the reality is that probably 35% of the people I worked with continued to be healthy and keep the business.
00:16:12.000The ones that maintained probably went up 20 pounds for the guys, 10, 15 pounds for the girls, because you also have to remember they were coming in at that finale, like you know, so lean and they relaxed and motivated.
00:16:27.000Yeah, but the ones that put it all back put it all back, and some did.
00:17:24.000There was a kid that I worked with who was 18 years old.
00:17:27.000He lost a huge amount of weight, and he went home for the holidays because on the show there were holidays, and the contestants would go home, and we would frame it like, we're just going to see how you guys did on the show.
00:17:35.000And he came back, and he gained seven pounds.
00:17:39.000So, of course, he's giving me all the excuses of, you know, it's hard while you travel.
00:18:56.000But it's very obese parts of the South.
00:18:58.000south it is a lot of reasons for it and honestly one of the reasons is that it's culturally accepted 100 and i was in a town where people were very very overweight and i mean they ate a lot it was fine i don't eat any of it like i fasted that day by the way my act my real my like designed weight is like 235.
00:20:51.000truth they truly deserve and it doubles the chance that she'll choose life whether you want to save one baby or five or hundreds that opportunity is just a phone call or click away call 833-850-2229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com that's 833-850-2229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com so half of our kids 50 of our kids are obese or overweight by the age of 15 5% of Japanese kids are obese
00:21:29.000And I say this with regard to big business.
00:21:31.000They literally, they design the food with a team of scientists to addict you.
00:21:37.000They design, there's a literal multidisciplinary team of behavioralists, marketing experts, PhDs, MDs, neuroscientists, and every step of the way, how do we grab them?
00:22:18.000These chemicals are not allowed in the food.
00:22:22.000They engineer the environment do you remember back in the day when you couldn't bring food into a bookstore now they sell food at the bookstore no matter where you go the food is there it's in vending machines they they siphon off billions hundreds of billions in our tax dollars to go towards refined grains and then things like snap or the wIC program it it's fascinating when they're one One side, well, not really a sidebar, but if I could go on a brief tangent.
00:22:51.000I was reading an article the other day about the food pyramid and how people who were pushing back on the USDA and RFK working to change it.
00:22:58.000They're like, this is what we use to feed our children and our soldiers without realizing how truly abominable that is because the Corn Refiners Association, the wheat lobbies, the vegetable oil lobby, they created that food pyramid.
00:23:18.000And then they get the contracts and they take subsidy dollars to put that food in our schools, to put it in the ready-to-eat meals for the soldiers, or what do they call the MREs?
00:24:24.000It's like an appetite suppressant, essentially.
00:24:26.000It works in exactly the same way with a fraction of the side effects at a fraction of the cost, which is why, by the way, Big Pharma wants to shut down compounding pharmacies because you can't do that if you're buying Ozempic and Nova Nordsk or whatever.
00:24:44.000So my personal issue with this is twofold.
00:24:49.000First of all, it has a host of nefarious side effects from intestinal blockage to stomach paralysis, thyroid cancer, rare but still happens, pancreatitis, people are losing their vision.
00:25:00.000Anecdotally, you're hearing about suicidal ideation, accelerated age.
00:27:55.000So you drink a soda, it's 250 calories of sugar, it has no fat, no fiber, no protein.
00:28:00.000So not only is it not triggering your satiety, it's actually crashing your blood sugar because it hits the bloodstream like a ton of bricks.
00:28:07.000Pancreas dumps insulin, scrapes all the sugar out of the blood as you're on your way to becoming type 2 diabetic, and you have a sugar crash and now you're hungry again.
00:28:16.000And that's just one of the mechanisms it utilizes to keep you hungry.
00:28:21.000I mean, they brag, you can't eat just one.
00:30:36.000When you were talking about the people who are successful in their weight loss because they were replacing whatever that need was with something else.
00:30:45.000What were the best replacements that you observed in your experience for that problem?
00:30:52.000Okay, so it's not necessarily that they were replacing the need.
00:30:56.000It became more painful to do what they were doing than the work and the sacrifice associated with the change.
00:31:05.000So you have to work through the thing that you are arguably losing.
00:31:10.000Because remember, for these kinds of people, and I say these kinds of people, people who are morbidly obese, that utilize food as a defense structure, it's affording them something that meant their psychological survival.
00:31:22.000So you have to show them that while at one time or another, this probably kept you alive.
00:31:26.000Drug addicts will tell you the same thing.
00:31:28.000Alcoholics will tell you the same thing.
00:31:30.000Now it's completely counterintuitive to you.
00:31:41.000And this is one of the reasons I wonder if something like psilocybin or ibogaine would be helpful because we've seen the incredible transformations that it's given drug addicts that helps them work this stuff through at an accelerated pace and has an 80 plus percent secession rate.
00:31:58.000But right now you can't do it because it's schedule one, which is absurd.
00:32:29.000And she's like, you can talk to me all day long about trauma, but when they're still hooked on this stuff, there's no hope.
00:32:36.000Hence the reason that you would want to simultaneously detox them from the chemical addiction while working on the psychological component and then building in successes with food and fitness.
00:32:48.000It's unfortunately as simple as it is, it's hard and it is multifactorial.
00:32:55.000But understanding that is the first step and working on each one of these things as it presents itself to you goes a really long way.
00:33:17.000I was wondering, so I recently read in the Epic Times about vaccines and how the studies with autism and vaccines, how there were many flaws, and sometimes they only tested one form of vaccine.
00:33:56.000What I can tell you, having tried to explore this with very credible experts, is the solid and safe answer here is we don't know because of several factors.
00:34:07.000And I don't want to take up a ton of time.
00:35:01.000But for the vast majority of those studies, they use something called an active comparable as the placebo, and that means a previous vaccine, which is bananas.
00:35:12.000Let's say that wasn't the case, and they did use an inert placebo.
00:35:54.000Now I'm sure you saw him on Tucker talking about HEP B and having an 1134% increased risk of autism.
00:36:04.000And I could get into all of that, but what they were looking for, and it's no longer in the vaccine, despite other concerns, they were looking at something called thimerazole, which is a preservative that's 50% mercury by weight that is no longer in vaccines.
00:36:17.000But obviously, if you look up, you know, hey, mercury and health issues, not awesome.
00:36:25.000It's not awesome, but it is out now, and there are other adjuvants like aluminum.
