| 0:00.0 | Today we're going to talk about the number one best meal for type 2 diabetes, heart and kidney |
| 0:06.3 | disease, in addition to a lot of other metabolic diseases. But the most important thing to |
| 0:14.2 | understand about this topic is this one word right here, metabolic, because a lot of people |
| 0:24.7 | have that wrong. Okay. When someone talks about metabolic disease, sometimes people will think, oh, metabolism disease, oh, the person's not |
| 0:31.3 | able to lose weight easily. That's only a very tiny part of this problem. Metabolic disease is not just about not being able to lose weight. |
| 0:43.3 | When they use a term metabolic, they're talking about a huge problem at the cell level, |
| 0:50.3 | where the cells can no longer get energy. So it's energy failure at the cell level in an abundance of |
| 1:00.0 | fuel. So it would be like this. Let's say, for example, you're in your house and you're hungry, |
| 1:05.0 | and you have all these food trucks outside your house. But someone has a padlock on the door. |
| 1:10.3 | You can't get access to it. |
| 1:12.7 | That's exactly what metabolic disease is. And that's what's happening in your brain cells with |

| 1:27.1 | So then the nerve cells or the brain cells |
| 1:29.4 | start dying out of starvation. Let's take diabetes, for example. You have all this high blood |
| 1:36.2 | sugar, but look at a diabetic. They're going blind, kidney disease, heart disease, type 3 diabetes, |
| 1:43.5 | which is Alzheimer's, which is a type of dementia. |
| 1:45.9 | And then, of course, your feet, you're losing the nerve function in your feet. So you start getting |
| 1:50.3 | gangrene and they have to cut off the toes and it starts affecting the fingertips. That's all |
| 1:56.5 | related to your cells, literally starving of fuel, despite a massive amount of fuel that's |
| 2:04.3 | available to them. |
| 2:06.3 | And what's really wild is type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease |
| 2:13.1 | represents 25% of a population. So that means one out of every four people are diagnosed with one of these. |
