And we welcome you back to the mother's radio show.

Thank you, Kim. It's great to be panicky, don't you fill our audience a little on your mission and work before we get to the show's topic, Dr. Canale. Yeah, our mission at the center and my personal mission is to educate and empower individuals and their families to live the most productive, optimal, functional functional life, feeling great with lots of energy and zest for life.

Wonderful.

Well, today we're talking about diabetes and a condition that affects the body's ability to use blood sugar for energy, and according to the American Diabetes Association, 8% of the US population has diabetes. It's amazing. And that's over 23 million people. So Dr. kaali Hill is most affected by diabetes, well, all of us now, and I'll tell you a startling statistic from the year 2000, every child born from the year 2013 will be diabetic. So the problem is, you said 8% of the population... It's probably more, a little bit more than that, Kim. And number two, 50% of the people who have diabetes don't know they have it.

Then about 75% of the population, I believe, suffers from pre-diabetes or metabolic syndrome or syndrome, we kinda call it all one of those things. So pre-diabetes, and in fact, it's kind of interesting, this year, 2011, about probably a couple of months ago, maybe three months ago, the labs change their normal values of blood sugar, and the normal way you check a diabetic is doing a test called the hemoglobin A1c.

Now, the hemoglobin A1c is a reflection, an average of your blood sugar over 90 days, and that cut-off number used to be six-point car, and if you talk to any day, but you'll say, okay, what is your hemoglobin A1c? 'cause the doctor always talks to them about that, and so they'll be able to tell you, and now the cut off is normal as being 56, so he just like cholesterol, remember cholesterol? No one ever talked about cholesterol and then the number... The normal was this number, and then the normal became this number, so it's become tighter and tighter and tighter, what is ideal and optimal, but we talk about blood sugar though, elevated blood sugar in your body damages every single cell in the body, every cell, brain cells, liver cells, kidney sales, heart cells, immune cells, every cell. So that is why it is critical that we have optimal blood sugar levels, and so diabetes a big concern children, adults, every age, and it's increasing at pandemic proportions.

Before we get started with a couple of questions, you kinda had me at hello for some home, but in the very beginning, you mentioned that that 8%, which is on the rise, but some people have diabetes without even knowing it, so how do you have it without knowing it and what are the symptoms?

Well, that's a great question. A lot of times people have it, they just don't know because if it's pre-diabetes, a real early diabetes camp, you may not feel it, like you feel a broken arm, you feel a headache, you feel pain, different pain, but elevated blood sugar, you don't feel... That's why most people are not diagnosed, and so what would be the symptoms? Well, fatigue is the biggest symptom of elevated blood sugar, then the other symptoms if if you're accessing hungry or if you crave sweets, if you are sluggish after eating, especially after eating, you notice some people say, What kunene lunch about an hour later, I'm just ready to take an app, well, Mads classic elevated blood sugar, if you urinate more than usual, that's a sign, if you're excessively hungry, that's another sign, if you have hormonal problems, that's another sign, and the signs are not overt, that's the problem is that they're very subliminal, and then we learn to accommodate and adapt to this new person that we are not as functioning as optimal. Say, Oh okay, I'm getting older. And so people are always amazed when they start changing the biochemistry of their body to healthy optimal levels like, Oh gosh, I never realized how bad I really felt, because now I'm feeling so much better. Right, okay, that's what I was wondering, 'cause everybody has a sign, the classic signs of a brain for... Let's talk about that. Brain fog is another big symptom of elevated blood sugars there, but they're not obvious and overt, like a headache and a broken arm or acute pain from something him.

So that's why people in our clinic, every man, woman and child is evaluated for pre-diabetes and diabetes because it affects the body in such powerful ways and really predisposes you to all these other disease processes. Can you turn it around? Or prevent diabetes. Once you're diagnosed with it, absolutely, you can completely cure your diabetes if you really wanna know the truth, and people don't realize that, and there are so many things on the market now, but at first and begins and starts with your diet, and your diet is everything for every disease process. Whether you're talking about diabetes or Alzheimer's or hypertension, or high cholesterol. Your diet is everything. So what is the ideal diet for diabetes? Well, it's interesting 'cause lots of studies have been around on lots of thought process, and if you look at the American Diabetes Association, you will see their recommendations, but those recommendations are probably pretty erroneous recommendations, unfortunately, because it is not, unfortunately preventing or curing their diabetes, but I've had many, many a patient cure themselves from diabetes, and so the most optimal diet is eating foods basically in their most original form, so Zoetis, onions, garlic, Kalpana, broadly cab, but foods and foods that are gonna basically nutritional-ISE the body and you get all the plant chemicals the intelligence of those plans are just amazing, plus they have no sugar, there's no sugar in those plants, they have good sugars, but sugars that don't elevate your blood sugar and don't elevate the insulin levels, so the predominant, I'd say 50% of your food plate needs to be these wonderful plants. Organic, if at all possible, then you have to have good fats, you have to have good fats, 'cause that's kind of like a buffer to blood sugar and prevent that surgeon spike of blood sugar, so found... So what kind of fats would be great to eat? Well, alibi, organic butter, avocados, raw nuts, grape seed oil. One of the kind of events would be good, those are probably some of the best bats to eat, but at least 30% of the plate should be a good fat, so you either cook those vegetables in that or it comes from the protein that you're going to eat that we're gonna talk about next. But you need 30% of that for maintaining good blood sugar plus having energy, then the other part is the protein part.

Now, protein is meet grass-fed beef, if you can at all possible, 'cause those are lean and they have lots of omega threes, which are good fats, and the essential Baths of the body, then you have chicken, then you have fish. But we have to be careful with fish with radiation and mercury, and the most... The best fish are really the wild caught Alaskan Water salmon. That's probably the best. And then you have protein powders that work very good for diabetics, 'cause some diabetics are vegetarian, interestingly enough, and then Jesus, as long as you don't have an allergy to dairy, because if you have allergies, any kind of allergies, and I highly encourage people to get evaluation to swat food allergies. When you have food allergies, it raises your blood sugar levels, you don't eat foods that don't like, that don't like you, you have to stay away from that because it causes negative responses in your body, so obesity seems to be a big corporate for diabetes, but... Do you have to be fat to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes? Well, that's a couple of questions, first of all, let's talk about obesity because it's interesting, I was working out weekend or two ago, and they were talking on CNN about the incidents of obesity and adults and how... And then they went through the different states, luckily, we live in California because we have probably one of the lower races of obesity, but obesity is probably... I always tell me I would just sit outside of a movie theater and just count people... How many people are overweight or robes, 'cause obese one thing, an overweight, but probably 75 or 80% of the population has an overweight or obese problem, so that unfortunately predisposes you to diabetes and all these other diseases.

Then, do you have to be obese or overweight to have diabetes? Now, I have plenty of patients who are 5, four way 115 pounds. And who are pre-diabetic or diabetic?

So that's why you can't judge a book by its cover, you have to... You have to investigate, and that's the unfortunate what doctors... Doctors are not properly evaluating patients because it's not about being reactive and treating these problems, it's about being proactive and precise with your patients, that's what... In preventing illness, and unfortunately, doctors are trained unfortunately how to be reactive and how to prescribe drugs, which never saw the problem that your patient came in for.

Okay, and that's their hereditary... Is that a hereditary? The diabetes is diabetes hereditary, I think people can have predispositions... I do, I think people can be born with weak Pancrase because their mother and or dad had weak Pancrase, or they have other influencing factors that may predispose them. Yes, I really do because... But then genetics is not necessarily destiny because it's when you tend to eat like your parents at A... So it's not... Is it the genetics or is it the familial culture that you are... For example, if you take Indians, people who are Indians, they have probably the highest sugar, but what do they eat? They eat all carbohydrate. Eat all unfavorable carbohydrates.

So is it their genetics or... Their culture is there, a culture. And I believe more that it's people, if you would just change the way you live, learn from history, and then you can change genetics... Totally a fair concept. And that's a very good point. Okay, good, very interesting information, and we always get on these points and it's frustrating 'cause we have to go to a break, and so we're gonna have more information, we're talking about diabetes today, we'll be right back, I'll get vegetable fed ground thigh and ground breast meat now just 399 a pound.

And now back to our interview with Dr. Canale. And we're talking about diabetes, and what can you do to prevent it?

Now, I read somewhere that hormones can play a part of contracting Diabetes, is that true. Hormones, well, hormones play an important part in every part of your body when you do... When you have an adequacy of four months, it puts more stress... Let's talk about hormones. You basically have four major functions of hormones in the body, there you have your thyroid hormones, you have your pancreas, which makes insulin and glucagon, and we have ovaries in women and testis and men, and we have adrenal hormones, and every single one of these hormones plays an important role in controlling your blood sugar, for example, if we have stress, what happens when we have stress, when we stress our adrenals... Adrenals or little glands that sit on top of your kidneys. Like little hats, and we make cortisol when we get stressed, we have a car accident or we just have stress from our children, our work traffic, whatever, and so this stress causes increased production of cortisol... Cortisol raises your blood sugar. Then insulin from the pancreas comes in to bring the blood sugar down, so you have this chronic cortisol production and then the chronic burning out of the bankers to make more insulin to bring the blood sugar down, so you're really inducing more diabetes.

Now, if guys do not have good testers, running, girls had to tell Ron also that tremendously effects budget or... So we're talking about these young boys that don't have Tessitura, and then as men age, they're in their 35-40, I'd say a man probably starts waning on his testosterone around 40, but now we're seeing this in almost all young boys and men, 20, 25, 30-year-old men, at least in my practice, we're seeing that most doctors are not checking it, but testosterone has... And you can pretty much get somebody's blood sugar perfect by just optimizing their testosterone level, then the theory that the word gland, which is affected tremendously by toxins, that the rod is the battery to broad, it drives the metabolism of every single cell in your body, so it is critical, and it totally balances your blood sugar levels and keeps you feeling good and your blood sikar stable and your whole body feeling with energy every hour of the day, and then with all the radiation that we have now today and all the toxins that harbor Glen is very vulnerable to attack.

Just like the pancreas, the pancreas, which makes the insulin... Now, insulin is the hormone that helps blood should be utilized by the cell, so if you don't have good insulin levels, which is produced by the pancreas, then you are not gonna have good utilization of sugar, and then if you have this chronic elevation of sugar all the time, you get what we call insulin resistance, and insulin resistance means that insulin there, but it can't for a variety of reasons to do stress, all the chemical toxins, insulin cannot bring the blood sugar into the cell to be utilized by the cell, the hormonal concert that takes place is paramount to the body. Yes.

Amazing, and I love the way you describe that 'cause you make it very easy for us to understand for those of us that didn't have that medical knowledge, so thank you for putting that all together for us. Let's talk a little bit about the fast food change, which changed and that is the quick fix, in other words, or for the parents that wanna go through the drive... The drive through, this is kind of a side bar here, but the question is, when we see fast food chains, are they providing more nutritious meals and... What do you think about that? I mean, I know to you, but then I think that's a great question because everyone's in a hurry to do, everyone's busy and moms are out there and their child is in practice or this function, and they don't have a lot of time to prepare their meals, but it really isn't that difficult to prepare meals, number one, number two, there's lots of great healthy fast food, because I always tell people when I see patients, I go, I think I go, So, where do you need and what do you like to eat? And what do you like to eat? And there are good... Let's just take in and out, in and out. It's great hamburger, right?

A son's absolute areas in and out, okay? You do hamburger, and let's say it comes with the button, they have the Clark low-carb version, so you can get the low carb version and you can get a hammer, let's say take half the but off, but eat the leucine tomatoes and the hamburger.

Okay, then let's take pool Loco Pollo co. they have that great close law with a little thing of being on a chicken breast.

Great, great meal.

Let's take a topple, a taco place, you get one tortilla with the corn 'cause as the lowest, and corn isn't the best, but flower isn't great either, but it's better than some other things, and you get either chicken or one of the proteins. You put a lot of pickle to guide you on it, or sometimes some of the lot of the restaurants have cabbage and lime, and you do that.

Carl's Junior, they have the chicken breast sandwich, you could probably do the chicken breast anandan, just take off at least the top part of the bunk. Now, at every grocery store... It's interesting, I was in North Hollywood a couple of weeks ago, and I didn't have time to eat lunch. And so I went into 7-11 and I'm thinking, What am I doing in here? But anyway, I said, Okay, 'cause I was looking for... So I bought green tea, I bought myself a green tea, and I found they had a little... It's interesting, even The 711 had a little vegetable plate and I bought some nuts and I work and I need it work, but I was surprised that they had lots of little things that you go, but yeah, they had lots of bad stuff you could buy, but here... There was things that you could... And even the grocery stores have an organic alternate trying to kill... They have prepared Tunis sandwiches, chicken selling sandwiches, you can go to Trader Joes and get an egg salad already prepared, get some healthy crackers, and that's a meal you can make harpist people make on Sunday, make a dozen horrible eggs and an apple grab to her bold exciton apple, how easy is that? Yeah, and it's all about the preparation and that what is what you really preach a lot about your eternal, you gonna think and you gotta do a little planning, but first of all, you spend a lot of money buying food every day, you really do... You spend a lot of money buying food that you have no idea what it is and where it came from.

So I think it would just be mindful and really try to try to... There are good places now to eat... I don't know about McDonald's, I know it's kind of interesting. I listen to the radio, I think they're trying to make healthy options at McDonalds, and so I just think that... It's out there, I think now in today's market, mother has wonderful, easy things already prepared that you can eat healthy, so I don't know any place, there's places to wraps raps or... 'cause you can buy a delicious rap and it has five different vegetables with protein, it's all possible... Another question, What can we do so we don't... So that we don't get diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, type two diabetes, again, it's about your preparation, but it's also what your diet is, I'm gonna... Well, it's your time, but let's talk about... I always talk about some basic steps to being healthy, first thing free, get oxygen into your body, oxygen fuels, and makes all the body happen if you don't have oxygen, you're not gonna live.

Number two, you're gonna get a good night sleep.

Interestingly now, probably 50% of the people out there who don't sleep have diabetes from not sleeping, because sleeping stresses the body out, it does not allow the budding to detox, regenerate revitalize itself.

So sleep to sleep alone can cause diabetes, so get a good night sleep, but make sure your quality of sleep is excellent at an impeccable then water, water, water you need to drink water. Waters a Solution to pollution, water helps buffer the... Water helps prevent illnesses. You have to drink, have your body at weight in ounces, a good water, not toxic water, not water that has lots of chemicals and toxins, you've got to invest in a water maker, I don't care if it's one of those pictures in our clinic for people who don't have a lot of money, we have a little picture that people can utilize over and over, they can get something to further since there are options out there, inexpensive viable options for water. In the food you eat, you have to eat food that is whole food, you have to eat whole foods today, you can eat foods that have been processed and pasteurized and gone through many different processes to turn into something else.

It's just not going to give you the nutritional value to make your biochemistry of your body work, and there is no way of getting around it. Yes, there are natural laws of the body that we just have to follow, we wanna do it another way, but it's just not working, and that's the age old truth, but you're here to turn, turn it around and... I'd love your passion, Dr.

Canales, we all have a responsibility to change the world and to make this place a better place and to be serviceable to humanity, and you guys are all doing it, and so that's what it's all about, and mothers and its mission is really trying to really motivate people to do the right thing, they have lots of education, they have lots of great food that they've been around a long time, they really try to get products with integrity, and we pray to provide information that is truthful and valuable to everyone listening.
