Sick and Tired – Addicted to Fake food

			This
		

			is a piece Welcome to the D show, are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? will literally my
next guest, he was sick and tired of being tired and sick all the time. And he ended up going to the
doctor like most people do. And he just got more sick, it wasn't working the prescription drugs with
20 different side effects. They weren't cutting it. And he took off on a completely different
journey. He started studying food and became a top nutritionist in many medical clinics, including
one of Dr. mercola, who he worked with for over seven years. And he is here with us. He's empowering
people on how they can make a change and get more energy become more vibrant cure many of these
		

			ailments and illnesses that are affecting the majority of people living today because they're not
eating real food. And we got an expert in this area to cover this very important topic. We'll be
right back. Don't go anywhere.
		

			Hello, Jim Marlo, how you doing? Welcome to the D show how you been? I've been very well. 40 years,
you've been dealing with nutrition, you went from being tired and sick, because you were tired and
sick.
		

			Tell us a little about this. Well,
		

			for the first 20 years of my life, I was a mess. I was chronically ill, I had all kinds of chronic
health problems. And at the age of 20, I reached a point in my life where I became sick and tired of
being sick and tired all the time. And I recognize that the doctors that my parents were taking me
to
		

			were not helping me.
		

			They were only given me
		

			prescription drugs that at best helped to reduce some of my symptoms a little bit in the short run.
But in the long run, I was getting worse and worse and worse. And I wanted to know how to be
healthy. And there was no doctor that I knew of at that time, who could tell me that. So I decided
to take responsibility for my own health. And I knew that the first thing to do to begin to to take
responsibility for my own health was to educate myself. And so I started learning about nutrition
and
		

			the other what I like to call fundamental influences on our health, that part of everybody's life.
And if you just think things through for yourself very carefully and logically, like anybody else
would come to the same realizations, that of course, what you're putting into your body Every day is
going to be a big and constant influence on your health. And so I started studying nutrition and I
started making changes.
		

			And it only took about a week or two before I actually started to feel better in a very significant
way. And I knew I was onto something. And so I continued to study nutrition that was in 1977 when
when I started and I was 20 then now I'm 58 now and I've been studying nutrition for 38 years, and
I'm still studying nutrition because no matter how much you know, or how much you think, you know,
there's no end to learning. And I am
		

			I am devoted to being a lifelong student and continuing to evolve my consciousness and my practice
in
		

			the living of my life and engaging in the proper care and feeding of my body. And I learned enough
about how to be healthy and learned enough about nutrition and the other fundamentals of health that
in 1985, I started doing some nutrition and health counseling on a professional level. And I've had
a lot of experience in that area. But the experience that
		

			people might like to hear the most because
		

			they may recognize they may be very familiar with this with this natural medicine doctor is I for
for over seven years. I was the chief nutritionist at Dr. Joe mercola optimal Wellness Center when
he had a very thriving practice in Schaumburg
		

			because of the popularity of Dr. mercola his website and he claims that he's got the most visited
website on the internet in regard to nutrition and health topics and
		

			that may be may be the case but
		

			His website has been quite popular for quite some time. And because of the popularity of his
website, we were probably the busiest nutrition based health center in the country. And what I like
to call the glory days of that clinic from 2000 to 2007. And that was, that's when I was there.
		

			And we had a lot of people coming from all over Chicagoland and outside of Chicago and different
parts of the country and even from outside the country to seek our help, and in realizing freedom
from a whole variety of different chronic health problems and learning how to be healthy. And we
taught them that we got a lot to talk about, we want people one of the benefits now that we want
people to derive when they leave the show is some some things I know this is a life. This is this is
a change of ways you know, to implement, you know, make it a way of life so you can really enjoy
life. Like you're starting to you're enjoy you've been enjoying now since you made these changes.
		

			My next question is gonna I want to how do you someone, tell me this? Alright, you're making a
change. And you got family, they love you, and they keep bringing this stuff over. So
		

			what do we do? Okay, you're cutting out and you're like, come on, you know? And everyday you got
this stuff in a fridge. So where do you let's start with this. If this is offered to me anywhere I
say, Well, thank you very much, but no, thank you. Uh huh. And see this looks good. Now you I cannot
look I used to. I would eat a whole cake like this on my cheat days. You know? Well, the first 20
years of my life I would have eaten it too. But
		

			I
		

			I also hope you guys can see this man this this is
		

			sure you won't
		

			know what
		

			Yeah, well see. There is no struggle. What's wrong with it? I mean, come on in. Well, what's wrong
with it is there was nothing right with it. You know?
		

			Many, many years ago, I learned the value of smelling Yes, I can but it's it's not enticing at all.
Because it's, I don't even see that as food that's that's that's to me. That's that's that's fake.
That's fake food. It's, it's it's not anything I want to put into my body. I want to honor my body
with the very best quality nutrition that is available to me the very best nutrition that God nature
has to offer. It's what God had given us. This is we can right away agree this is this is not food.
Now say what's in here is poison. Sugar is poison is a chronic, acute chronic dose dependent depends
on how much you eat, because there is a safe threshold
		

			hepato, liver toxin,
		

			the metabolic diseases that are associated with obesity, diabetes, or heart disease, the liver
problems, the strokes, the cancer, those diseases are being driven by sugar is actually killing
killing you internally right
		

			now, but 60% of the population is overweight or obese, and diabetes rates have tripled? Is it
possible that we've been given the wrong advice? What goes into some Well, this is I guess you could
call it you can make a case that this is poison. But what I think is a more accurate way to to
describe what this and similar products are. This is not going to have a nutritional effect on
nutrition, it's going to have a drug like effect on your body. Okay. Sugar has recently scientists
discovered a hormone called leptin. leptons job is to tell your brain that your body's had enough to
eat. Guess what gets in the way of that job, sugar. When you indulge in soft drinks and junk food,
		

			your brain has a hard time recognizing leptin so you stay hungry longer and eat more than you
should. This causes problems with your pancreas. The pancreas produces insulin, which helps regulate
your blood sugar, more sugar you have in your bloodstream, the harder your pancreas has to work. And
then overwork pancreas, bad things, obesity, metabolic syndrome and type two diabetes. When you
consider heart disease and liver disease, both of which can be caused by sugar.
		

			Yeah, sugar
		

			has more of a drug like effect. It's a stimulant. It can make people feel better for a few moments,
or maybe even a little bit longer than that, but it's not having a nutritional effect on the body.
Sugar stroop test is the sweet stuff that's in sugar and high fructose corn syrup, sugar, it's newer
and cheaper twin. Fruit does can do damage to your body in ways we are just beginning to understand
		

			Is the actually the most common addiction in America and probably the rest of the world where they
where they have it available. But sugar, the obvious suspect at the moment is sugar.
		

			Sugar is driving, all of the chronic metabolic diseases that we know about today is an addictive
stimulant. And I know most people don't see it as that, but it's a, it's a substance that only at
best is going to cause what I call metabolic turmoil in your body, it's going to make it harder for
your body to be healthy.
		

			And I think it's important to
		

			mature in into to evolve your consciousness, you know, doing this as a kid, when you don't really
know better and unfortunately, if the adult world around you, they don't understand
		

			how harmful this can be at health and, and and you know, the adult world, you know, is is very good
at turning children into into addicts for sweets, because they project their own food preferences
and their own addictions on the children and then, and then the children become addicts for sugar in
some form. But it doesn't have to be that way. And one of my most important teachings is that
		

			the sooner we develop what I call nutritional integrity, the better nutritional integrity is all
about setting standards for what is acceptable food and drink for your body and then being faithful
to those standards. And it's, it's, it's quite amazing to me in an unfortunate way that
		

			I've known all too many people who they, they they're, they're very accomplished in many areas of
their life. And they have, they have integrity in many areas of life. But when it comes to their
nutritional integrity, they eat whatever they'll put anything into, let's hold right there. We're
gonna actually and you, we want you to give us because someone's like, Look, my life's over. Now if
I can't have this, maybe you can give something that we can take this away and replace it with
something healthier. So let's go well, we're going to take a break. But but you know what Eddie, we
need to address
		

			we're gonna get rid of this a person, a person's person's current state of health, because if
someone is not currently suffering, if they're not currently bothered by some type of health problem
that they want to be free of. In America, typically, they have no motivation to want to give that
up. We're gonna have to find some motivation people. We're gonna have to we got an expert here. We
got a lot to talk about. Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back, please subscribe to the show.

			And don't forget, as I asked you to do already, if you haven't subscribed right now,
		

			back here on the dean show, expert in nutrition, you worked at some of the
		

			many different medical clinics with also Dr. mercola for seven years. Many people know him. Tell us
now we Okay, sugar.
		

			Sugar is how the food industry engineers.
		

			Now the food tastes great. In fact, it tastes so great, we can't put it down. This is a win win for
the food industry. They complied with the arguments of the 1980s. They've gotten us to eat more, and
they are making money hand over fist. The problem is they're doing it at our expense and we're
losing our health. Have you seen that documentary fed up? No, I have Yeah, very good doctor. This is
this was this helped me Actually it was a catalyst to me really taking off with this, you know,
seeing the effects of white processed refined sugar and pops and sodas and fruit juices and whatnot.
And, you know, once I eliminated just the sugar, when I get people off sugar, and I get their
		

			insulin down. They all of a sudden feel more energy. They all of a sudden want to engage in physical
activity. And that's part of why they lose weight. I saw a drastic a major change in my life.
		

			One thing is and you could take off from here when you go into hospital, you're supposed to be going
there to get some help. And you are going to many doctors and or you go into pediatricians office
and all the kids are drinking pop and eating chips or in a waiting room. You see a Coca Cola
machine. There's a problem here, isn't it?
		

			Let's take off from here what what do you think so what can we do now?
		

			He talked about being cognizant, aware of what you're putting in your body, motivating people maybe
before a DS disease hits
		

			Because of this
		

			food intake that we're taking, especially this white refined sugar isn't like obesity is like,
leading killer heart disease. Yes. And many of these other ailments Yeah.
		

			Unfortunately, in America,
		

			it's very few people
		

			come to
		

			set a, a high standard of what for what is acceptable food and drink for their body, what I call
nutritional integrity. They they typically don't do it voluntarily. They've got to be forced into
it's like their own their own
		

			deteriorating health, their own body, screaming at them that they need to make some changes is
usually what what is necessary and that that certainly was true in my case.
		

			My favorite foods for the first 20 years of my life where pizza ice cream fried chicken, Fannie Mae
candy and fast food burgers with French fries, yes, about probably 90% of people right now. Yeah.
And, and and not everybody is is is, is equally harmed by it. To the extent that I, I was some
people have a higher tolerance for putting junk into their body than other people. But it's
important to respect your own experience, the very unfortunate thing about many people and was my
experience that
		

			I never saw a doctor when I was growing up, my parents took me to a number of different doctors, I
never saw a doctor who even asked me what I was eating, as if it's completely irrelevant, which is,
		

			of course,
		

			not the case. It's It's It's a fundamental influence on everybody's health.
		

			And it's, it's one of the influence that especially as adults, we have, we do have complete control
over. But I was talking about nutritional integrity. And hand in hand with nutrition integrity, is a
consciousness practice of becoming what I call a nutrition first eater. And in nutrition, first
eater is simply someone who considers the nutritional value of what they're eating before they
consider the taste, the convenience, the price, the appearance, the shelf life.
		

			All of that can be considerations. But if you're not considering the nutritional value of what
you're eating first,
		

			then you're only ever really going to nourish yourself by accident. And if you're only ever
nourishing yourself by accident, your health is going to be in a precarious state. Because what
you're putting into your body every day certainly is going to influence both the structure and
functioning of your body sooner or later. Some people are more sensitive to their nutrition than
other people. But even people that may brag that they can eat anything, they have a cast iron,
stomach and all of that, eventually, they will be affected by what they're eating and drinking and
may just take longer for some people to experience the consequences of putting junk into their body.
		

			What do I know you can you can go on about any of these things that I mentioned to you for you know,
hours. Just tell us what are some things that maybe days, maybe? Yeah, probably weeks. Tell us? What
can people do that I'm gonna name some names of some popular items, and then get your thoughts on
them in a couple sentence. Coke. Do you think people have any idea how much sugar is in it?
		

			And maybe they don't and and I think one of the things you need to do is 23 sachets of sugar in that
single container. The equivalent thereof. Okay, Diet Coke. Fake food should be avoided completely.
If you're interested in being healthy, good microwave popcorn. Void completely. It's more fake food.
Okay, that we covered the fake food for the fudge cake that we just had. Yeah, well, that's that's
what dominates in America. Everything you say fake food is like just stay away from it, throw it
away. The chances are, you're reading more refined sugar and starch than you realize. It's not just
in the obvious things like
		

			one half of the sugar that we are consuming today is in items that we didn't even know had sugar,
tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, hamburger buns, hamburger meat, all sorts of processed foods. If you
look at virtually every item in the store that has a food label, it has some form of sugar. Yeah, if
you care for your body, I'd like to share with you my simplest teaching on nutrition. Make it easy
because many people may we don't want to lose them. Like oh, give me some direction something this
is worth. This is worth writing down right at the house posting it on your refrigerator.
		

			But call this nutrition 101 Okay.
		

			If you want to be real healthy, then eat real food, real food and real food is simple food that does
not come with a label with a list of ingredients. That's pretty I mean, it's not all the best real
food health building food optimum health sustaining food that nature has to offer us. fresh
vegetable nutrition, fresh fruit nutrition, fresh, whole grains and legumes and nuts and seeds and
fresh meats and seafood and eggs, and most dairy products. There is no label with a list of
ingredients. And there can be especially with dairy products like which cheese and yogurt and kefir,
cottage cheese there can be a label with a list of ingredients. But if you're getting the really
		

			good products, there's not going to be more than three ingredients like that. So real simple,
anything anything that the Creator has given us to eat is natural. Like if you want some sweet Can
we say like, I mean, are these real foods we got? Yes, that's real food. Okay, this is a keeper.
We're keeping Yes, banana, you know, real food. You're not gonna make a phone call, but you can eat
real food. All right, this is good. Yes, avocado. Yes, we're gonna get okay. So do you know do you
know this this food is largely promoted as being such a rich source of potassium, which it is. But
this food is an even richer source of potassium than this food. And it's it's it's funny to me that
		

			the avocado producers don't promote their food as being an even richer source of potassium than
bananas. We're having a lot of fun. We're gonna take a break. We'll be right back with more with my
special guests. Don't go anywhere right back, please subscribe to the show. Follow us on our
official Facebook and Twitter pages in the links below. Please also help support the show by making
a donation in the link below.
		

			And don't forget, as I asked you to do already if you haven't subscribed right now.
		

			All right back here to the show. We're just getting more and more warmed up. The Time Is Flying.
Let's keep it going.
		

			I'm going to mention vegetable oils many people cook with what is a canola oil and whatnot. If
you're going to cook I mean, what do you think using vegetable was the first first thing that's
another part? First thing people need to know is there is no such thing as vegetable oil. That's a
made up marketing name that most people have bought into. But there is no such thing as vegetable
oil. What is typically marketed to the public as vegetable oil is corn oil, corn is a grain
		

			or soybean oil. Soy is a lagoon or canola oil or cottonseed oil. Those are not even food crops. You
could call them plant oils. But have you ever seen the oil from broccoli? Or tomatoes? Or bell
peppers or asparagus or spinach? Or lettuces? No There is no such thing as as vegetable oil. So
that's that's another I'd say it's we say garbage. That's that's propaganda that is that is used to
market a product because
		

			everybody has positive thoughts about vegetables. And so if if corn oil was marketed as it is just
corn oil, or grain oil,
		

			I'm certain it wouldn't sell as well but marketing it as vegetable oil. People people obviously have
bought it, they continue to buy it. But corn is certainly not a vegetable. It is a grain and soy is
a lagoon cottonseed and canola canola is made from the rapeseed it's not even a food crop. It's a
it's a hybrid of a seed that grows very prolifically. Mostly in Canada and canola is not even. It's
a made up name. It stands for Canadian oil. Yeah. So what is she? The person in the kitchen is like
what do I cook with? Well, actually, the the whole practice of cooking with added fats or oils to
prevent food from sticking to the surface of the cookware. That's not healthy. It never has been and
		

			it's a mistake and I never support that. What I support is people using healthier cooking practices
that where you don't need fats or oils to prevent the food from sticking to the surface of the
cookware and you can really only achieve that when you cook your food at lower temperatures cooking
your food at lower temperatures more gently. You know like cooking your food on simmer on the
stovetop or using a crock pot or using a slow cooker always use your crock pot on the lowest setting
or steaming your food. There's some other cooking practices that that have their place. But I never
support using fats and oils in the cooking process and I know that's that's most people want to know
		

			what's the best fat or oil to use for cooking. The correct answer for health is none of them. Have a
question?
		

			Coconut Oil Olive oil well that would be using coconut oil or butter would cause less toxic
molecules to be produced than using corn oil or, or safflower oil or even olive oil. But my my
teaching is you don't want to create even small amounts of toxic substances in what you're cooking.
There is one other person who supports my position. He's the only other nutritionist who has the
same position that that I have. He's the only other nutritionist I'm aware of. And that's Udo
Erasmus. Erasmus is the man that wrote the definitive book on fats and oils and human nutrition. His
book has been available for a long time. It's called fats that heal and fats that kill and he has
		

			the same exact position that I have when he's asked the question, what are the best best fats and
oils to use for cooking? He always says the same thing. None of them Dr. Esselstyn, I don't know if
you know him. He's also had him on the show. He's from the movie Forks Over Knives. Okay. He has
this position. Tell us up. Well, he shares the same position. He does not recommend any fats or oils
in the cooking process. Tell me now, when you're cooking, white flour. That's another common one
white flour. Yeah, but see, it's it's a mistake to use white flour at all, because that's more fake
food. It's another fake food. Yeah, it's right. Okay. Yeah, this one we're throwing. There's a lot
		

			of things we're throwing out right now. Yeah, well, you know, it's a better approach is to focus on
what to eat rather than what not to eat. Okay, well, how can we substitute, you know, substitute
now, if somebody wants to make something sweet, right, so we're not using it right? What like you
said, Edie, here we go. natural sweetness, right. I've heard I've heard it's fresh, fresh fruit. You
have raw, unpasteurized honey. How's that? dates? That's a real food. What do you thumb as a as a
transition food that can be good hold on a pump sugar, but to really achieve and sustain a high
level of health especially if you're currently struggling with your health you got some chronic
		

			health issues.
		

			It's It's It's best to actually evolve beyond wanting to indulge your taste buds. With concentrated
sweetness. What we enjoy as a matter of taste is largely a matter of what we're familiar with habit,
you can re educate your taste buds, you can re educate your taste buds and learn to enjoy foods that
are truly nourishing and health sustaining for your body. But you have to you have to make some
changes. And ultimately, the changes come down to what is it you need to add to your life and what
is it you need to subtract from your life just to keep it real simple. I always recommend to
everybody I work with add more real food and subtract the fake food. That's real simple formula and
		

			real food. So we listed some things that are fake. That's basically garbage. If it's fake, throw it
out. And real food give us some examples of real food. Chicken steak. What's your well all whole
fresh foods, vegetables, salad, vegetables, any any vegetables that that you enjoy whole vegetables,
get them fresh fresh is always better than frozen or canned, fresh fruits, nuts and seeds, grains
and legumes that covers all the plant foods and then in the way of animal foods meats fresh meats
from healthy animals that's a very important qualification fresh meats from healthy humanely raised
animals pasture raised grass fed beef, not factory found farm meat, organic chicken organic pork.
		

			A we don't you know, as Muslims you know this pork we stay totally away from
		

			laws forbidding everything that harms the body in the mind and stops the strength everything that is
harmful to a person is not permitted. Allah says in the Quran, say all Muhammad peace be upon him. I
do not find within that which was revealed to me anything forbidden to one could eat it unless it be
a dead animal or blood spilled out or the flesh of swine. Indeed, it is impure.
		

			There are reasons that the meat of the pigs become more saturated with toxins than many of its
counterpart farm animals. The first reason has to do with the digestive system of a pig pigs are the
filthiest animals on earth with the most parasites and diseases than any other animal that mankind
continues. I can respect that I can I can I can respect.
		

			Life is forbidden everything that harms the body and the mind.
		

			unsub stream everything that is harmful to the person is not permitted. Law says in the Quran or you
who believe intoxicants and gambling and all the sub and all Islam arose for seeking look or
decision are an abomination of shaitaan Satan's handiwork, so avoid that in order that you may be
successful. When considering the world's worst killers, alcohol likely doesn't come to mind. Yet
alcohol kills more than 3 million people worldwide each year, including drunk driving, alcohol
abuse, violence and abuse and a multitude of diseases and disorders. Alcohol causes one in 20 deaths
globally every year, alcohol kills one person every 10 seconds worldwide, alcohol causes some 3.3
		

			million deaths in 2012, equivalent to 5.9% of the global deaths more than AIDS, tuberculosis and
violence combined. And it is on the rise of pork, this kind of dietary and then the meat that we
that we eat is also it's supposed to be meat that it's what's called halau exactly the same way the
all the prophets have done for 1000s of years. Abraham, no Moses, Jesus and Muhammad peace upon all
of them, not using stun guns or hammers, or any other equipments electrical equipments, only using
simply only using God's name upon slaughter via where the blood comes out. Right. And it's supposed
to be in a habit test. Yes. Well, it's very important that the animal that the meats that people who
		

			come from healthy, humanely raised animals, and also the way the animal is killed, it should be in a
very humane way that is very important for it. Yeah, no, and that's a very important part of Hillel.
And I have a lot of appreciation for that you know about Hello, yes. Oh, all right. I I've worked
with with hundreds of people over the years who were of the Muslim faith, in fact, a very good
friend of mine in in Houston, Texas area is a Sufi? Yeah, we're gonna we're actually out of time.
Okay. And hey, there's a gift for for you. Thank you for being with us. You got a few open you got a
little gift box in here. Oh, great. Okay, so it's a gift for you. Look, can we have you but I'm
		

			really this is, you know, this is something that I love talking about. We need to talk about vitamin
D and zinc and, and all these other vitamin C's. We got a lot to talk about. Maybe on another
episode, we had you back. I would enjoy coming back very much. Thank you so much. All right. Thank
you so much. Thank you, thank you so much. And that was our special guest, Jim Marlowe, Chief
nutritionist going on 40 years worked with the likes of Dr. mercola. And other specialists. experts
in this field here on the de show to enlighten us. And what's at the end of the day, the message the
simple message that you can carry away from this is eat real food had an example of the cake made
		

			would rot white, processed, refined sugars, it's fake food, it has no nutritional value, those
Dunkin Donuts, no nutritional value, but they have elements in their addictive elements that gets
you addicted to something that has no nutritional value, and actually has harmful elements in their
leading causes for heart disease, for diabetes, and other chronic diseases. So now you're addicted
to something that's going to eventually bring bring on a chronic disease. And then you're going to
be tired and sick all the time. So replaced the fake food with real food. With real food. We hope
that she'll heed the advice and subscribe if you haven't already, so you can get the next week's
		

			show and more like it and when we have Jim on again, you can get it delivered directly to you.
Fridays every week, come back and until next time we start with peace we m with peace anomic And
don't forget, as I asked you to do already, if you haven't subscribed right now
