00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,880
Take the green smoothie challenge !

2
00:00:03,180 --> 00:00:08,840
Welcome to the Unchained TV podcast with me, your host, Jane Velez Mitchell.

3
00:00:09,220 --> 00:00:11,680
Yes, we do have some breaking news for you.

4
00:00:12,100 --> 00:00:17,240
There is a new challenge out there and it's growing like wildfire.

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,920
It's the green smoothie challenge.

6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:21,940
And I pose a question to you.

7
00:00:22,180 --> 00:00:29,400
What if there was a simple green drink that could turn your life around right away?

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:35,920
Well, there is, and you can learn how to make a delicious, hyper nourishing green smoothie.

9
00:00:36,140 --> 00:00:39,640
This life-changing drink is easy and fast to make.

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:46,260
And we're going to tell you all about it so that you can supersize your life.

11
00:00:46,260 --> 00:00:49,780
A life-changing green smoothie recipe.

12
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,160
Triple wash your kale, stick it in the blender, just like this.

13
00:00:55,420 --> 00:01:01,400
Add some chia seeds and fruit on the top.

14
00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:09,520
I throw in a little bit of soy milk and a whole lot of water.

15
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:11,540
The blender dance.

16
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,380
Now the moment of truth.

17
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,400
Magnifique, the miracle green smoothie.

18
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,600
Do try this at home.

19
00:01:34,860 --> 00:01:39,760
And yes, you're going to learn all about the green smoothie challenge and how you can be a part of it.

20
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:48,040
First up, we are going to go to Anita Krines, who was the one who turned me onto this and told me, Hey, this is life-changing.

21
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,060
Anita, tell me why you are such an advocate of this green smoothie.

22
00:01:54,060 --> 00:01:58,200
So yes, I had COVID in December and I had no energy.

23
00:01:58,300 --> 00:01:59,280
I didn't even want to drink water.

24
00:01:59,340 --> 00:02:05,060
And then my friend Ingrid in South Africa told me about Dr. Goldner's green smoothie.

25
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,100
And it just, it gave me so much energy.

26
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:11,880
It also makes me happier and I feel much healthier.

27
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:28,800
And I think one of the reasons I'm so keen about it is that people don't eat enough raw green vegetables every day, particularly cruciferous vegetables, but kale and other cruciferous vegetables are the most nutrient dense food on the planet.

28
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,280
And it's absolutely essential.

29
00:02:32,580 --> 00:02:45,780
And Dr. Goldner reversed her lupus with this green smoothie and also eating, you know, dark leafy greens and salads and cruciferous vegetables and adding omega-3 from flax seed and chia seeds.

30
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:55,600
And since then, a lot of people have reversed other autoimmune diseases and also helped reverse, you know, diabetes and things like that.

31
00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:03,540
So I think, you know, worldwide, more and more people are getting sicker because they're eating more and more processed food, meat, dairy and eggs.

32
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:10,280
And so what we need to do is to reintroduce people to just eating whole foods.

33
00:03:10,660 --> 00:03:19,720
So like vegetables in particular and fruits, and also, you know, the tofu and beans and nuts and things like that.

34
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:41,260
So I think the green smoothie is really important on an individual level, like just, just for, you know, challenging people, like your family and friends, but then we also have to ask institutions like city governments and hospitals, schools, universities, and other institutions to have healthy food on their menus.

35
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,540
So that's why I'm such a keen supporter of it.

36
00:03:45,460 --> 00:03:47,280
It's absolutely incredible.

37
00:03:47,460 --> 00:03:49,280
You told me to do it.

38
00:03:49,340 --> 00:03:49,920
I did it.

39
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:57,720
And I can tell you that it has changed my life because I have a sweet tooth and I always struggle with it.

40
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,300
And it has really helped me with my sweet tooth.

41
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:08,740
I want to go straight out to Tiffany Brunelli who is in Pasadena and Tiffany, you are a volunteer for Unchained TV.

42
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,620
And you just said, Hey, I'm going to do this.

43
00:04:10,740 --> 00:04:12,420
Tell us about your experience.

44
00:04:13,420 --> 00:04:13,620
Yes.

45
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:17,579
I've been doing it for about two months now, Jane, and I'm addicted.

46
00:04:17,579 --> 00:04:22,540
I was traveling and I didn't bring my bullet with me for about a week.

47
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:23,220
And guess what?

48
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:26,980
The first thing I did last night when I got home, I had to make one.

49
00:04:27,060 --> 00:04:27,800
I missed it.

50
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,180
I've been building, building muscle, working out with weights.

51
00:04:31,180 --> 00:04:37,040
I just had a really sweaty workout and I'm just looking forward to diving into this.

52
00:04:37,380 --> 00:04:38,420
It's so simple.

53
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,060
You don't need anything special.

54
00:04:40,180 --> 00:04:46,920
You can pick up all the ingredients, what you have in your fridge, just buy a couple of bags of, well, I'm not into chopping it.

55
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:57,440
So I buy a couple of bags of organic spinach, organic kale, already washed, just throw it in the, I had a bullet, just throw it in the bullet, some water.

56
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:04,520
Throw in a handful of chia seeds and I usually use a banana and whatever frozen fruits I have.

57
00:05:05,340 --> 00:05:06,220
Game changer.

58
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:08,300
It is a game changer.

59
00:05:08,460 --> 00:05:10,440
And this is growing globally.

60
00:05:10,860 --> 00:05:13,760
We want to go to Mexico right now.

61
00:05:15,020 --> 00:05:15,520
Extraordinary.

62
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,780
Valeska, you are doing this in Mexico.

63
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:20,960
Tell us about it.

64
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:25,320
Yeah, I've been doing this also for around two months.

65
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:33,960
Since Anita sent me some information because I actually were last year when I was discovered from the doctor that I haven't done a truce.

66
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,320
That is an inflammatory disease and cause a lot of pain to women.

67
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:46,560
So this green smoothie has helped me a lot to pain control and anti-inflammatory.

68
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,560
Yeah, it has been changing my life since I started drinking this year.

69
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,160
So I'm so excited to share with you.

70
00:05:55,220 --> 00:05:56,240
Well, great.

71
00:05:56,300 --> 00:05:58,140
We will come back to you making it.

72
00:05:58,260 --> 00:06:00,120
And I'm also going to make it.

73
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:12,440
But first I want to tell you that this has gotten so, it's taken off in such an incredible way that one woman decided she had to write a song and turn it into a music video.

74
00:06:14,380 --> 00:06:16,860
I want to introduce you to my friend, Susie.

75
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,620
She has a YouTube video of how to make a smoothie.

76
00:06:20,860 --> 00:06:27,380
It's a special greens recipe only for ingredients, as you can see.

77
00:06:30,220 --> 00:06:35,280
Put the greens in first, then it wants some fruit to quench your thirst.

78
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,140
She said this green smoothie is totally pure.

79
00:06:39,820 --> 00:06:43,080
I was sick with lupus and needed a cure.

80
00:06:44,020 --> 00:06:48,900
Try this smoothie, pretty please, the flavor will bring you to your knees.

81
00:06:52,540 --> 00:06:55,060
She says it's different from the rest.

82
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,060
Her lupus put it to the test.

83
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,720
Drink this green smoothie every day.

84
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,480
Keep all immune diseases away.

85
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,640
Healing your body from within.

86
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,360
And this green smoothie for the win.

87
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,260
One thing I thought was really cute.

88
00:07:17,380 --> 00:07:20,300
She says in the video, you can't overfruit.

89
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:25,060
Your skin and hair will start to glow.

90
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,020
Drink it at home or on the go.

91
00:07:27,140 --> 00:07:29,660
I want to be healthy.

92
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,560
So make this green smoothie.

93
00:07:34,300 --> 00:07:36,980
I want to be disease free.

94
00:07:37,980 --> 00:07:39,720
Watch this video with me.

95
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,920
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

96
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,620
I was sick with lupus and needed a cure.

97
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,500
Absolutely fantastic song.

98
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,240
And guess who we have here?

99
00:07:55,340 --> 00:07:56,960
The one and only Sara Siegel.

100
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,560
Get in there and tell us why you were inspired to make this song.

101
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:01,640
Hi, everybody.

102
00:08:02,980 --> 00:08:04,760
The Green Smoothie Challenge has been amazing.

103
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:22,320
And thank you to Anita, who actually sent me the video of Dr. Goldner, Brooke Goldner, she did the video on YouTube and I watched it several times and I came up with some lyrics so when people want to have a quick version of it they can listen to my song, has all the ingredients.

104
00:08:22,700 --> 00:08:29,680
I love the fact that it's very limited and since I've been drinking the green smoothies I've been really feeling amazing.

105
00:08:30,020 --> 00:08:34,020
My skin is better, my hair is better and I just feel better overall.

106
00:08:34,860 --> 00:08:46,580
Wow okay well this is very very exciting and it's not just us saying it, medical doctors are talking about how this is a way to supersize your health.

107
00:08:46,780 --> 00:08:52,100
Why is this hyper nourishing smoothie so beneficial for our health?

108
00:08:52,320 --> 00:09:09,940
When we look at the nutrients that are found, I mean when we're looking at dark leafy greens like kale, spinach, it's so rich in chlorophyll, it's rich in vitamins like A, C, K, there's lots of minerals inside like magnesium and folic acid.

109
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,080
All of these help us to combat inflammation and reduce

110
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:19,720
oxidative stress because remember antioxidants will clean up these free

111
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:25,500
radicals and prevents them from damaging our cells so a green smoothie like this

112
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:30,980
will help with tissue healing and also will help to fight inflammation and then

113
00:09:30,980 --> 00:09:36,820
you're adding in lots of wonderful seeds so flax and chia seeds are one of the

114
00:09:36,820 --> 00:09:41,700
richest or two of the richest sources of plant-based omega-3s and as we know

115
00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:46,660
omega-3s are anti-inflammatory so they can help with a lot of inflammatory

116
00:09:46,660 --> 00:09:47,560
conditions.

117
00:09:48,360 --> 00:10:11,940
Now inflammation underlies and causes a lot of these health issues as I mentioned but someone who has very obvious inflammation, let's say someone with arthritic pain, they will notice that by drinking smoothies on a regular basis can very likely help to reduce chronic pains and autoimmune discomforts which often include muscle pains and joint pains.

118
00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:23,500
So you're hearing how it's so incredible now up until this point we talked to women only but we're gonna go straight out to a guy who is well he's very buff he works out a lot.

119
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:30,020
Najeeb, tell us your green smoothie experience why did you do it how has it transformed your life?

120
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:47,760
So yeah just being into lifting and everything drinking enough liquids is important but I have an issue with just drinking a lot of water so I started kind of using juice especially green smoothies to kind of help with that.

121
00:10:48,320 --> 00:11:03,040
I always like to have them once a day just helps me out with recovery if I'm like sore and stuff it just kind of feels good without having all the excess sugar from store-bought smoothies.

122
00:11:04,420 --> 00:11:07,040
Excellent so now we are going

123
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:17,800
to make one on camera and bear with us I'm no chef I'm known to set my cutting

124
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:24,040
board on fire from time to time but the first thing I want to tell you is triple

125
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:31,380
wash your kale okay because the kale can be dirty all right so I have triple

126
00:11:31,380 --> 00:11:37,020
washed this that's my thing and what I'm gonna do now is I'm also going to and I

127
00:11:37,020 --> 00:11:42,780
like to hear from other people I take the the biggest stems off because I find

128
00:11:42,780 --> 00:11:46,420
the stems to be a little bit on the bitter side.

129
00:11:47,060 --> 00:11:47,620
I do too.

130
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:53,160
Yeah okay so I'm gonna okay I'm gonna

131
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:58,560
stick this in here now one of the reasons why it's so important to put the

132
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:06,040
kale in first okay is that again I have a sugar addiction I love anything sweet

133
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,200
any pastry I've never seen a well as long as it's plant-based I've never seen

134
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:15,860
a pastry I didn't like and this for some reason has helped me I'll really get a

135
00:12:15,860 --> 00:12:21,420
handle on it because there's a sweetness here but it's not too sweet now you see

136
00:12:21,420 --> 00:12:29,120
how I've really packed it to the gills with the with the greens and what that

137
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,860
means is you can't put too much fruit in if you start with the fruit you can just

138
00:12:33,860 --> 00:12:38,180
pile up the fruit and put a little greens no you absolutely want to start

139
00:12:38,180 --> 00:12:43,380
with the greens and then you take a little fruit now I'm using this it's a

140
00:12:43,380 --> 00:12:49,280
combination of mango strawberry and blueberry and I put this right on top

141
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:54,580
okay so you see there boom boom boom and of course I always try to put as much as

142
00:12:54,580 --> 00:13:02,280
I possibly can because I love the sweets but it stops me now I take a banana

143
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,780
correct me if I'm wrong I don't think there's any really wrong way to do this

144
00:13:06,780 --> 00:13:12,100
different people will do it slightly differently but now look there you go

145
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:21,700
now what we're gonna do is put the berries in sorry the the seeds chia

146
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:26,360
seeds these and we're gonna hear from the doctor again in a second these are

147
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:31,740
truly superfoods that will help you in so many ways and it gives you a little

148
00:13:31,740 --> 00:13:40,180
crunch it's really kind of fun now also flaxseed flaxseed is an incredible

149
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:47,160
superfood okay now sometimes I'll put a little soy milk I know a lot of purists

150
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,740
don't want to do that so I'm not gonna do it today I am literally just gonna

151
00:13:50,740 --> 00:13:55,540
put the water in and you're gonna have to take my word for it because the sink

152
00:13:55,540 --> 00:14:00,620
is over here for one second but if you're clocking this you can see how fast it is

153
00:14:00,620 --> 00:14:05,720
I did all that in well under five minutes so if you can do something for

154
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,920
five minutes every day that is going to radically improve your life and reduce

155
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:17,160
your chance of disease preventable lifestyle diseases why wouldn't you do

156
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:23,440
it here you go now I might you know what one note I want to say is sometimes I

157
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,660
feel like I'm putting too much water sometimes I feel like I'm not putting

158
00:14:26,660 --> 00:14:31,960
enough you just want it to be pretty heavy but not to the point where it's so

159
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:37,360
heavy that it's gonna explode in your kitchen like I said I have been known to

160
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:43,260
explode things in the kitchen so if that happens you were forewarned here it is

161
00:14:43,260 --> 00:14:48,060
okay and come on around Sarah we're gonna do the dance part of the fun is

162
00:14:48,060 --> 00:14:52,980
you're gonna hear from the doctors talking about how important it is to

163
00:14:52,980 --> 00:15:01,260
move in conjunction with the smoothie movement is another component in super

164
00:15:01,260 --> 00:15:06,640
health so three two are you ready to dance get in the camera babe all right

165
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,420
here we go three two one

166
00:15:32,020 --> 00:15:38,120
okay I need more water I need more water and that is a good thing to

167
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:44,280
realize when you're doing it it was not there wasn't quite as much water as I

168
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:49,220
needed so it just shows you it holds a lot of water and you're getting that

169
00:15:49,220 --> 00:15:53,380
water so many people don't drink enough water every day so are we ready to dance

170
00:15:53,380 --> 00:15:53,840
again

171
00:16:37,270 --> 00:16:51,580
okay there you go look at that look how beautiful here you go give it a try talk

172
00:16:51,580 --> 00:16:58,060
again to the camera talk about the taste okay so from the video she put in she

173
00:16:58,060 --> 00:17:04,099
put in the ingredients so let's see how simple this is it's really good

174
00:17:04,099 --> 00:17:14,140
actually yeah delicious amazing and the thing is that there is a sweetness to it

175
00:17:14,140 --> 00:17:20,819
so it kind of gives that milkshake you know so much of food is psychological so

176
00:17:20,819 --> 00:17:25,640
I love the idea of a milkshake and this has that feeling like I'm having a shake

177
00:17:26,140 --> 00:17:32,060
so now I want to go back to I want to go back to the doctor one of the doctors

178
00:17:32,060 --> 00:17:36,400
there's a lot of doctors who are advocating for this and remember we don't

179
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,840
make any claims about cures and always warn you this is informational only

180
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:49,980
educational only we're not diagnosing or prescribing here but let's face it

181
00:17:49,980 --> 00:17:55,400
we've got a lot of chronic illness in this country and if something like this

182
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,160
can help prevent it why not what are chronic diseases we're talking about

183
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:05,500
heart disease cancer respiratory diseases diabetes chronic kidney

184
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:13,180
disease alzheimer's dementia and liver disease and the WHO predicts that 80

185
00:18:13,180 --> 00:18:18,880
percent of these diseases are actually preventable through diet and lifestyle

186
00:18:19,620 --> 00:18:23,840
so we need to understand that chronic disease doesn't just happen in old age

187
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:30,080
it accumulates silently from from when you're young to adulthood so the peak preventive window

188
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:36,180
is between 20 and 40 years old now if you're past that age it's never too late but if we don't do

189
00:18:36,180 --> 00:18:43,980
anything about it we see in the stats that 50 percent of people between 45 to 55 50 percent

190
00:18:43,980 --> 00:18:50,420
of people have at least one chronic disease already did you hear that chronic disease is

191
00:18:50,420 --> 00:18:55,800
all over the place so i want to go back to anita crimes who is the global campaign coordinator

192
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:02,260
for the plant-based treaty and uh you know we're dealing with a crisis a health care crisis

193
00:19:02,260 --> 00:19:09,780
anita and there is this uh incredible solution why do you think this works what is your insight

194
00:19:09,780 --> 00:19:17,540
into that um i think with the green smoothie uh it's uh it's such an easy way to get your

195
00:19:17,540 --> 00:19:24,880
nutrients uh in a very fast delicious and effective way so you know it takes less than five minutes

196
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:31,560
as you can see you did it in such a fast way and you're actually eating the most nutrient-dense

197
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:38,240
food on the planet and so uh dr goldner she recommends that you you have kale at least

198
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:45,000
three four times a week so you could put kale and you could put chard spinach um so it's good to

199
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:51,640
have like a high-powered blender if you don't have a blender you can make a salad like a big bowl of

200
00:19:51,640 --> 00:20:00,440
salad uh with dark leafy greens um cabbage is also very healthy so i think why we are using this

201
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:06,900
particular green smoothie the hyper-inertia green smoothie and uh promoting cruciferous vegetables

202
00:20:06,900 --> 00:20:14,240
is because the vast majority of the population does not eat enough fruits and vegetables and

203
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:21,480
whole foods and um cruciferous vegetables have a reputation for being the most nutrient-dense so

204
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:26,880
so we feel that you know we can help individuals on a one-to-one basis but we can also go to

205
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:35,180
institutions like schools universities hospitals uh cities governments and just uh asking them to

206
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:43,060
introduce these green smoothies we can go to restaurants cafes uh you know community centers

207
00:20:43,060 --> 00:20:49,620
sports clubs i just think everyone could be doing this green smoothie so this we're we have a 30 day

208
00:20:49,620 --> 00:20:53,300
challenge for earth month but then we're going to continue it after earth month the reason we do it

209
00:20:53,300 --> 00:20:58,140
for 30 days is because that's that's about how long it takes for you to develop a new habit

210
00:20:58,740 --> 00:21:05,400
and this is the best habit you can you can develop is you know having hyper-nourishing green smoothies

211
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:10,200
or you know big salads every day and so dr golder recommends if you have a salad

212
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:16,180
make that the main part of your dish and then you add other things on top like tofu quinoa

213
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:24,720
beans but try try to have that as a meal have a big green green salad so she she has a green

214
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:31,200
smoothie and salad every day and then in for dinner might have some cooked vegetables in a stew

215
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:38,120
so uh you know it's good on so many levels uh in terms of it will lengthen your life because

216
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:44,740
this green smoothie works at the cellular level so when you have those omega-3s and this

217
00:21:44,740 --> 00:21:49,420
hyper-nourishment it makes your cells more flexible more able to communicate and function

218
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,680
and so you have 100 trillion cells in your body and then they are doing the job that they should

219
00:21:54,680 --> 00:22:00,820
be doing so you get more mental clarity um if you're trying to get fit and lose fat and gain

220
00:22:00,820 --> 00:22:07,360
muscle it helps you do that so it just um it just it's it's life-changing and it's the way we we

221
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:12,480
were born to eat it's the way we you know thousands of years ago so we're just returning to the way

222
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:18,040
we should be eating so what i think is really interesting is nilo far made a very good point

223
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,980
so we don't necessarily have to chew greens we can just stick them in a blender because part of

224
00:22:22,980 --> 00:22:28,980
the problem is a lot of people myself included sometimes i mean you know kale yes you should

225
00:22:28,980 --> 00:22:34,100
eat it and when it's done right like by a really great restaurant where they massage the kale they

226
00:22:34,100 --> 00:22:38,520
de-stem it because the stems are so bitter and they chop it up into little pieces and they

227
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:43,000
include all these great dressings it can be delicious but sometimes it's just like

228
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:50,120
it's a chore to chew the kale so you can have this and you can get your uh dose of kale that

229
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:56,180
you need to be super healthy now tiffany i want to go back to you for a second uh you have actually

230
00:22:56,820 --> 00:23:03,440
um done it not in a giant like cuisinart but you have like just a little a little gizmo

231
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:10,020
yes tell us about that yeah this i didn't have to buy anything special i just um i already had a

232
00:23:10,020 --> 00:23:18,140
bullet and it's just and you can make um you can make um if you want to make a this is from the

233
00:23:18,140 --> 00:23:23,460
bullet right here this will fill this up but sometimes i'll make like two of these and i'll

234
00:23:23,460 --> 00:23:28,920
just pour half of it out and then just fill it up again so you could make just with this right here

235
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:34,300
you could make this two of these but this is just this right here and it's so i didn't have to buy

236
00:23:34,300 --> 00:23:40,000
anything special and i'm not into washing the kale and cutting it up so i just buy it in the big bags

237
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:46,440
already washed and it probably takes me two minutes okay just throw it in the reason i wash the kale

238
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:52,100
i'll just tell you i use this is not an advertisement just a fact i use farm fresh to

239
00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:57,860
you they deliver fruits and vegetables to my door every monday night the reason is that a lot of

240
00:23:57,860 --> 00:24:03,840
times when it's up to me to go to the grocery store and buy this stuff oh look at the time and

241
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:10,140
then i end up eating something junky so during the pandemic actually um i started ordering and

242
00:24:10,140 --> 00:24:16,840
i kept it going because frankly it saves me money because what what happens is if i don't have the

243
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:22,080
food on hand i'll oh let me just order a grub hub and have something well you know for forty dollars

244
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:29,860
a week i get all these fruits and vegetables you know five kales uh oranges bananas apples carrots

245
00:24:29,860 --> 00:24:35,280
and then because they're in the house i find myself eating them and uh also my dogs are vegan

246
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:42,240
and i feed them uh the potatoes and the carrots and uh that sort of thing so i've actually uh been

247
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:48,160
getting this delivered and it's really worked for me i want to go back to mexico city very excited

248
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:55,900
to have somebody from mexico here um will you you are you are making this give it a shot i know

249
00:24:55,900 --> 00:25:01,580
that it's it's not easy to cook on camera but we're not really cooking just do your thing

250
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:08,760
okay thank you disclaimer i'm not a chef but i've been doing this green smoothie for a while so

251
00:25:09,220 --> 00:25:18,320
i just want to show you how easy it is like uh even this blender is not as good as i have in

252
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:26,340
in my other house where i'm not where i live uh but you can do it this like just putting the greens

253
00:25:26,340 --> 00:25:31,600
and some water and mix it like sometimes it make it easier if you put like more water

254
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:41,960
down so it blends in here and also we have the black tea and i put it on like just as dr julie

255
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:49,660
said like they're so anti-inflammatory for the omega it has helped me so much um and yeah you

256
00:25:49,660 --> 00:25:57,340
put just the greens and on the top you put like the mangoes and some banana also the mangoes are

257
00:25:57,340 --> 00:26:05,360
frozen just to keep it fresh and it will help in the taste but yeah as you see like

258
00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:11,260
the major thing is like the greens and then just put it some sweet to flavor

259
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,260
and yeah a little bit just mix it okay so i will start to mix

260
00:26:28,380 --> 00:26:34,200
there it is it's a quiet blender you can't even hear it that's so interesting mine is

261
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:39,580
noisy as all get out but we can't even hear yours and there it is blending you can see

262
00:26:39,580 --> 00:26:47,040
if you look to the right of the screen there it is the mango mixing in and uh wow this everybody's

263
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:52,580
like hey blender party that's adam leo we've got people saying tina walker says i'm going

264
00:26:52,580 --> 00:26:57,540
to start doing this go jane go sarah all right let's see what you got that was really

265
00:26:57,540 --> 00:27:06,260
fast whoa whoa okay take take a glass and try it because i think the point is people want to

266
00:27:06,260 --> 00:27:12,280
make sure that you actually drink it all right there you go take a sip

267
00:27:16,180 --> 00:27:23,860
it tastes so good because the mangoes and the banana are so um tasty and it seems like sweet

268
00:27:23,860 --> 00:27:31,540
um i really love the taste of the greens but i think anyone can join these like my mom joined

269
00:27:31,540 --> 00:27:38,480
these last um a couple of weeks ago and my mom is like a super picky with the food and she even

270
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:44,680
loves it so yeah you can try it it's for everyone great all right this is absolutely fantastic and

271
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:51,400
again doctors are talking about you know how this is important and you know i've got a lot to learn

272
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:59,120
about the gut microbiome what i do know is that your gut microbiome determines your serotonin

273
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:06,380
levels and your serotonin levels determine your meat your mood so when you're doing a green smoothie

274
00:28:06,380 --> 00:28:12,520
and eating super healthy you're you're gonna be happier too you're gonna have like a you know

275
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:18,080
a pep to your step look at the large amount of fiber i mean i think some people probably get

276
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:23,180
more fiber in that one smoothie than their entire day because some people don't eat their vegetables

277
00:28:23,180 --> 00:28:28,320
and when you're looking at the fiber it's going to help to detoxify the body it's going to really

278
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:34,920
help to again bring the toxins out of the system which will improve your energy your gut health

279
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:40,200
and the bananas that are in there so so there's going to be lots of prebiotics that are found

280
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,580
in smoothies as well and for those of you who don't really know what prebiotics are

281
00:28:44,580 --> 00:28:52,480
it's it's basically a fiber but it's used as food for our microbiome and when our microbiome

282
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:58,420
eats the prebiotics it can generate short chain fatty acids and the short chain fatty acids

283
00:28:58,420 --> 00:29:05,300
improves that gut barrier so it's a very important process that you know we get lots and lots of fiber

284
00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:12,960
in our body and all of this will translate to better skin health better liver health better

285
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:19,240
cardiovascular health you know i've seen people lower their blood sugars just by simply introducing

286
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:26,140
a smoothie a day reducing their cholesterol inflammation so in general you'll see that

287
00:29:26,140 --> 00:29:33,620
just by doing a green smoothie a day you are pretty much moving yourself into that preventive

288
00:29:33,620 --> 00:29:41,820
strategy of reducing chronic diseases all right now one person said thank you to dr brooke goldner

289
00:29:42,540 --> 00:29:47,320
tadlock and her husband tom tadlock for inspiring anita crimes to bring their green smoothie to us

290
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:54,740
at plant-based treaty can you tell me the backstory of this anita apparently dr goldner dr brooke

291
00:29:54,740 --> 00:30:02,100
goldner had an illness and again we're not saying the word cure this is educational only consult

292
00:30:02,100 --> 00:30:06,740
your doctor we're not prescribing we're doing something educational but can you tell us the

293
00:30:06,740 --> 00:30:16,360
story of all this goldner uh was a vegetarian as a child loved animals but she got lupus at 16

294
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:27,900
and had it till 20 20 28 so about 12 years and then she met tadlock and then they got married

295
00:30:27,900 --> 00:30:35,180
and he was into fitness and he was already doing this uh this smoothie um and then she started

296
00:30:35,180 --> 00:30:40,740
drinking it and because she was vegetarian he because he was at that point he was omnivore

297
00:30:40,740 --> 00:30:45,400
so he would eat meat but eat the green smoothie so he had to make it vegan for her so she was

298
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:50,460
eating tofu in the green smoothie and then she became symptom free and they didn't even understand

299
00:30:50,460 --> 00:30:55,420
why for years she just thought oh she's happy she's in love then she figured then they figured

300
00:30:55,420 --> 00:30:59,920
it out it was actually the green smoothie and eating lots of cruciferous vegetables and omega-3s

301
00:31:00,620 --> 00:31:09,700
and she's been symptom free uh for for like 30 years now and um she uh is a doctor and also

302
00:31:09,700 --> 00:31:16,920
psychiatrist and uh she treats people one-on-one as a clinical doctor and so a lot of people that

303
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:24,820
uh to take on her protocol uh have reversed their autoimmune diseases including um you know lupus

304
00:31:24,820 --> 00:31:31,400
rheumatoid arthritis and various thyroid autoimmune diseases and so um and she's published

305
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:38,300
in journals and had like 50 000 downloads for some of her journal articles uh you know documenting

306
00:31:38,300 --> 00:31:47,840
uh her experiences as in her clinic so um a lot of other doctors support this like dr greger

307
00:31:48,580 --> 00:31:54,220
um i'm just reading dr firman's book joel firman's book from uh you know a couple decades

308
00:31:54,220 --> 00:32:00,300
ago he was also he says like eating uh cruciferous vegetables particularly dark leafy greens are

309
00:32:00,860 --> 00:32:06,440
are is the best because they're the most nutrient dense he puts them at 100 then he puts uh like

310
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:13,600
cabbages 95 and then other vegetables at 50 like uh peppers and things like that then at 40 he says

311
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:19,280
um like nuts and seeds and then at 30 tofu and things like that but then when you go to dairy

312
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:25,240
and other things like they're very low in terms of nutrients and uh some processed foods like

313
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:31,860
cookies are at zero so um one of the problems that we have is uh the rise in autoimmune diseases

314
00:32:31,860 --> 00:32:36,500
even among children and it's because people are eating so much meat dairy and eggs and processed

315
00:32:36,500 --> 00:32:44,120
food so um that's why it's so important to you know to have to eat your greens uh have your

316
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:49,180
flax seed or chia seeds and one thing i would recommend jane is that you use the whole

317
00:32:49,180 --> 00:32:55,120
flax seed and not the ground because it oxidizes the omega-3 so you should and it's cheaper to get

318
00:32:55,120 --> 00:33:06,000
the the seeds um so yeah so i'd recommend you do that so you can't hear you um that's very

319
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:11,700
interesting i was thinking the other way around that if you grind it it makes it more easily

320
00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:17,900
absorbable are you saying for the chia seeds and the flax seeds just put them in straight yes

321
00:33:19,460 --> 00:33:24,980
interesting so let me ask you tell us about the green smoothie challenge because we have people

322
00:33:24,980 --> 00:33:32,980
first of all somebody wants to know can you use frozen kale that is a question um and uh can you

323
00:33:32,980 --> 00:33:38,220
answer that one yeah she she recommends that you do not because you lose some of the nutrients

324
00:33:38,220 --> 00:33:47,080
so preferably use fresh please all right and what about your uh campaign like how do people get

325
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:54,140
involved is there a support website or facebook page where people can you know be part of a green

326
00:33:54,140 --> 00:33:59,940
smoothie community because it's actually been real really fun to find some of my friends like

327
00:33:59,940 --> 00:34:06,400
tiffany brunelli who's one of our top unchained tv volunteers and sarah siegel who's a top unchained

328
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:11,020
tv volunteer and i know they also do work with the plant-based treaty but then i was telling

329
00:34:11,020 --> 00:34:16,679
about this and they're like oh i'm doing the green smoothie too i'm like really oh wow so there's a

330
00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:21,679
lot of people doing it tell us about the community people are looking at this going yeah i need to

331
00:34:21,679 --> 00:34:27,719
start doing this where's the support okay so we we have a leaflet that you can download on

332
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:33,520
plantbasedtreaty.org under the take action section we have a green smoothie sign-up sheet and so we

333
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:39,920
have almost 600 people that have signed up worldwide and um so it's a 30-day challenge

334
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,699
for earth month but then we're going to continue it after earth month and we're we're we have uh

335
00:34:44,699 --> 00:34:50,980
zooms every week to just see how people are doing we have content posted uh daily on the plant-based

336
00:34:50,980 --> 00:34:59,000
treaty instagram um and uh we're gonna have a dance competition so thank you sarah for doing

337
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:04,820
that incredible song and um um so each week we have a different theme so the first week is just

338
00:35:04,820 --> 00:35:10,440
like how to make a smoothie and why it's why it's great and the second week is mental health so uh

339
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:15,360
as i mentioned dr uh goldner is also psychiatrist and a lot of her books so

340
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,320
her books cover mental health in particular this book called um

341
00:35:21,700 --> 00:35:26,900
this one called goodbye autoimmune uh a lot of it is just on mental health

342
00:35:26,900 --> 00:35:33,220
and uh it definitely makes you happier and then the third week we're talking about earth

343
00:35:33,220 --> 00:35:38,620
earth month sorry earth week and uh how the green smoothie also is good for the environment and the

344
00:35:38,620 --> 00:35:43,880
final week we're talking about advocacy so like how can we all be advocates how can we share the

345
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:51,000
green smoothie with our friends how can we introduce it to the workplace so for example we today we went

346
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:56,580
to brampton city it's a city just outside toronto that endorsed the treaty and we made a gallon of

347
00:35:56,580 --> 00:36:01,300
smoothie for the mayor and all the councillors and they all had it during the session and uh

348
00:36:01,300 --> 00:36:06,300
they're taking on they're taking on the on the challenge and doing it and for the last week we're

349
00:36:06,300 --> 00:36:11,480
also going to look at how you can affect institutions like hospitals schools universities

350
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:18,740
how can we introduce the green smoothie and and make it uh a part of menus for for you know all

351
00:36:18,740 --> 00:36:24,680
the different institutions you know from from your you know your from your dinner table to you know

352
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:30,680
the schools so that that's our goal is how can we spread this everywhere uh throughout the world

353
00:36:31,820 --> 00:36:37,740
one of the things i really like about it najeeb is that i can walk around with this all day in

354
00:36:37,740 --> 00:36:43,140
other words i made it this morning but i'm not going to drink the whole thing so i'm drinking

355
00:36:43,140 --> 00:36:49,040
it over the course of the entire day into the night and i'll tell you when it comes to me i'm

356
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:55,960
i'm a pretty good eater until about 9 30 at night and then that child mind of mine says i deserve a

357
00:36:55,960 --> 00:37:01,920
reward and i could do a hundred years of therapy it's not going to change i know that this is in

358
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:08,280
the hard drive that's when the candies and the chocolates and uh you know the sweets enter the

359
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:15,500
picture and i usually go off the rails if i could just cut it at seven o'clock so what i do is i

360
00:37:15,500 --> 00:37:22,640
have this now you know left over from the course of the day and it really reduces i'm not saying i

361
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:28,520
never have a sweets or treats at night but it really reduces the number of treats that i'll have

362
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:36,960
because it has psychologically the impact of a treat it's also filling and najeeb can you can

363
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:44,800
you address that or what's your process um so i actually do um like once a month a cleanse day

364
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:52,920
where i just drink juice the entire time um with that it's just it's crazy how like i'm full the

365
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:57,360
entire day i mean i'm actually having trouble finishing this second one i already only had

366
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:03,680
like an eight ounce one and i'm already getting full this is i need to have lunch or today so

367
00:38:04,580 --> 00:38:11,700
it's awesome how it's gonna keeps you energized as well i when i do my cleanses i still go to the

368
00:38:11,700 --> 00:38:17,680
gym i still have energy to go walk my dogs and go out i've done actually a couple of videos

369
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:24,340
about that too it's uh i feel like yeah it keeps you just up and going especially with snacking i

370
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:31,060
i actually have the same issue around like around that same time 8 30 9 p.m you know i feel like

371
00:38:31,060 --> 00:38:38,540
yeah i had a good day i deserve a snack um but with that juice usually i'm more into like the

372
00:38:38,540 --> 00:38:44,440
salty stuff because nothing about like sugar or anything because it's just gonna fills up your

373
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:55,920
body with that uh you're on mute still for those just joining us i feel like we got to play the

374
00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:03,660
green smoothie song again because it's so good and uh it's really danceable so i want to remind

375
00:39:03,660 --> 00:39:10,320
you when you're doing the blender you can dance get that exercise in and it's super fun i mean i

376
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,480
don't care what kind of day you're having you could be super depressed by the time you do the

377
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:20,340
blender dance with this green smoothie you're gonna be laughing i want to introduce you to my

378
00:39:20,340 --> 00:39:27,700
friend suzy she has a youtube video of how to make a smoothie it's a special greens recipe

379
00:39:28,580 --> 00:39:32,280
only four ingredients as you can see

380
00:39:35,740 --> 00:39:40,280
put the greens in first then it wants some fruit to quench your thirst

381
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:48,040
she said this green smoothie is totally pure i was sick with lupus and needed a cure

382
00:39:49,060 --> 00:39:53,800
try this smoothie pretty please the flavor will bring you to your knees

383
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:54,280
oh

384
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,020
she says it's different from the rest

385
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:11,680
her lupus put it to the test drink this green smoothie every day keep all immune diseases away

386
00:40:12,740 --> 00:40:19,280
healing your body from within this green smoothie for the win

387
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:24,380
one thing i thought was really cute she says in the video you can't over

388
00:40:24,380 --> 00:40:32,740
fruit your skin and hair will start to glow drink it at home or on the go i want to be

389
00:40:56,040 --> 00:41:02,720
all right okay oh my dogs go crazy when they when we blend our dance or when we play that

390
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:03,040
song.

391
00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:08,840
So Sarah tell everybody why you felt like inspired to actually write that song.

392
00:41:09,380 --> 00:41:20,940
So what happened was I write vegan songs that's what I do and then Anita sent me the link to the video on YouTube and she was like hey I want you to take the green smoothie challenge and watch this video.

393
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,420
So since Anita said it I was like okay I'll do it.

394
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,720
So I watched it because I juice anyway mostly all day.

395
00:41:28,260 --> 00:41:36,420
So I watched the video it's quite long but it's really good and informative and I love the part where she says put the greens in first.

396
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,500
So that's what's so important is you don't want to put too much fruit.

397
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:45,840
So anyway I decided I told Anita I love the I did it or whatever and she said well can you write a song about it.

398
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,260
I was like okay I'll try to.

399
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:54,940
So I just got the lyrics from the actual video on YouTube which is in my video also.

400
00:41:55,220 --> 00:41:59,200
So the best thing to do is watch that video it's so informative and amazing.

401
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:05,580
You can listen to my song to put the ingredients in to make it simple and like I said it's so delicious and I just feel amazing.

402
00:42:06,540 --> 00:42:11,880
Honestly I want to say thank you Sarah and what a really good song.

403
00:42:11,980 --> 00:42:13,740
I mean I like it it's very catchy.

404
00:42:14,100 --> 00:42:20,360
All right girls but I want to say that it does have a psychological effect.

405
00:42:21,060 --> 00:42:32,800
So many people are suffering from depression and you know we say when you eat death when you eat suffering it is going to translate into your mood.

406
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:38,800
This actually has a way it's almost like a natural high.

407
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,760
I want to do a round table starting with Tiffany Brunelli.

408
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,380
What are your thoughts on that Tiffany?

409
00:42:45,660 --> 00:42:47,240
Oh 100 percent.

410
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:57,700
Like I said I didn't have it for about six days after having it for a couple months every day and I just I could I was dragging I was eating more sugar.

411
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:02,880
I could tell first thing I did yesterday when I got home was make another one of these.

412
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,740
You can tell a difference once you yeah love it.

413
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,120
What was the change?

414
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:09,380
What is the difference?

415
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:19,240
I was dragging I felt you feel really hungry in the morning and throughout the day when I drink this I feel full I feel energized it feels clean.

416
00:43:22,700 --> 00:43:25,800
So let's go and do a round Robin Valeska.

417
00:43:26,860 --> 00:43:30,420
What is your reaction when you have this?

418
00:43:30,540 --> 00:43:31,980
What does it do to you psychologically?

419
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:36,140
We've talked about the physical benefits but what about your mood?

420
00:43:37,500 --> 00:43:52,820
Yeah it makes me feel more energized more fresh to start the day to do some exercise and I'm actually craving it like if I'm not having the drink smoothie for any reason like I'm craving it I just wanted to go and do it.

421
00:43:53,380 --> 00:43:55,500
So for me has been like life-changing

422
00:43:55,500 --> 00:44:03,600
like have more energized feel more clean more I wanted to do more exercise and do more stuff

423
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:11,500
and eat more salads and just dump the ultra processed foods because yeah sometimes I just

424
00:44:11,500 --> 00:44:18,300
wanted to grab like anything that it was easier for me to do or whatever but yeah this is like

425
00:44:18,300 --> 00:44:25,620
super easy to do and is like fresh and super powerful green smoothie yeah for me I mean.

426
00:44:28,540 --> 00:44:34,980
Anita tell us about your process like what time of day do you do this and how has it affected you psychologically?

427
00:44:36,020 --> 00:44:47,000
So I make the green smoothie every morning because I want to start off the day getting hyper nourished so I recommend people do that so that you just you're sure that you're having your nourishment.

428
00:44:47,860 --> 00:44:51,520
If I'm having if I'm feeling stressed and having a difficult day I may

429
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:58,140
make two or three jugs of it just to like because it helps me so much and I would also recommend

430
00:44:58,140 --> 00:45:06,640
watching Dr. Goldner's Wellness Wednesday show on YouTube and she does a Q&A and she's so positive

431
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:11,600
she's one of the most positive people I know and it's about she recommends that you live in the

432
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:19,320
present that you forgive that you move on that you it just she just has a strong message she's

433
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:24,480
very grateful every day because she thought she was going to die at 16 when she had lupus like

434
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:33,100
she had kidney failure stage four and she had to take chemotherapy for two years just to like

435
00:45:33,100 --> 00:45:38,120
put her immune system at bay so they wouldn't destroy her organs and she thought she was

436
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:43,620
gonna die and so the fact that she lived and then even reversed it and you know became symptom-free

437
00:45:43,620 --> 00:45:49,680
she's so grateful and so happy to be alive and so I just and she's a psychiatrist so I think

438
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:55,220
that's also helped with my mood is just having this green smoothie but also listening to somebody

439
00:45:55,220 --> 00:46:00,940
who is vegan and promoting this green smoothie to the rest of the world because she wants to give

440
00:46:00,940 --> 00:46:05,840
pay it forward and so I think all of us can just pay it forward and that's that's where my my

441
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:10,240
happiness also comes from paying it forward and seeing more and more people using this so I told

442
00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:14,480
all my friends about it and just telling you every day I talk to people about the green smoothie

443
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:24,060
and Najeeb let's ask you in terms of you you're you're a bodybuilder you work out like crazy

444
00:46:24,060 --> 00:46:29,560
you're in good shape so you didn't need to really lose weight but what does it do for you

445
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:30,140
psychologically?

446
00:46:31,500 --> 00:46:36,860
Well actually I've lost 100 pounds and I've gained 30 pounds of muscle being vegan

447
00:46:38,060 --> 00:46:43,800
and like incorporating juices helped a lot like having the cleanses and stuff so

448
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:49,240
it did help me lose weight quicker than if I was not including that in my diet

449
00:46:51,060 --> 00:46:57,820
Breaking news this is breaking news I haven't known you that long I thought that you were

450
00:46:57,820 --> 00:47:04,860
just this super healthy fit bodybuilder for your whole life and now you're telling me you lost 100

451
00:47:04,860 --> 00:47:17,200
pounds tell us about this yeah so what three years and some ago I was yeah 295 pounds it was I gained

452
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:24,980
all the weight from COVID I'm more of a gym goer I'm not really into like doing like walks and

453
00:47:24,980 --> 00:47:31,340
stuff outside now I am but back then I wasn't so I gained a lot of weight in like eight months

454
00:47:31,340 --> 00:47:38,660
nine months pretty quick so after I started looking into the health benefits of like how

455
00:47:38,660 --> 00:47:43,840
should I lose weight this time because I've done it like three separate times I was able to

456
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:50,260
see that the vegan diet so at first it was more like for the diet and health purposes

457
00:47:50,260 --> 00:47:58,380
so it took me three to four months to start seeing the whole difference with my body

458
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:04,800
I lost like 20 pounds in the first three four months and then with time and of course

459
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:11,400
going to the gym like an hour to two hours a day kind of helps a lot with the weight loss

460
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:21,500
but not now I'm at 183 183 pounds and I'm not sure I don't remember the muscle part of it but

461
00:48:21,500 --> 00:48:29,100
yeah I ended up like losing weight first and then building the muscle after so and I give it a lot

462
00:48:29,100 --> 00:48:36,020
of it goes to being plant-based and vegan because it kind of eliminated a lot of things around me

463
00:48:36,020 --> 00:48:40,900
like stopping at McDonald's and like Dairy Queen and all that stuff.

464
00:48:41,980 --> 00:48:50,580
So you've never looked back you're like you don't want that stuff now for those who are still eating that way what would you tell them?

465
00:48:53,020 --> 00:48:57,320
I tell them that there is a wall that you just need to figure out how to break

466
00:48:57,860 --> 00:49:05,340
I was the reason I started looking into the vegan plant-based diet and going vegan was because my

467
00:49:05,340 --> 00:49:11,880
wife started kind of looking into that first and asking me to kind of try it with her and I had

468
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:20,300
that wall where like I need protein I need you know to eat animal products to help me gain the

469
00:49:20,300 --> 00:49:25,800
muscle and all that stuff so when I broke that wall and I'm still thinking back at it like trying to

470
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:31,380
figure out how I broke it but it was just like hey let's try it and we'll see how it goes and then

471
00:49:31,380 --> 00:49:36,780
I'll never look back it's just there's that wall where you think is so hard so difficult because how

472
00:49:36,780 --> 00:49:43,000
we were raised and all the stuff we heard from our parents and like my parents thought I'm gonna die

473
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:49,260
like going vegan they literally started asking me every like month like did you do blood work are

474
00:49:49,260 --> 00:49:56,700
you checking yourself like it's just all the stuff that you were taught it's kind of a blocker and

475
00:49:56,700 --> 00:50:01,620
then you just have to kind of break through that and like try it first and see how it does really help

476
00:50:02,300 --> 00:50:06,800
well let me ask you were they asking you any of those questions when you were 100 pounds overweight

477
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:15,260
like no actually it's funny yeah uh I don't know yeah that's actually a good point yeah it is

478
00:50:15,260 --> 00:50:19,800
they always told me hey you gotta start watching what you're eating but that's what all they said

479
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:25,460
they never were like oh you should check because at first they're like oh you're young so you're

480
00:50:25,460 --> 00:50:32,200
not gonna have issues you'll figure it out later but um no yeah but now my parents are really open

481
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:37,460
to it they're very very vegan friendly I'm trying to make him go vegan so hopefully one day

482
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:48,400
but for now yeah they're very very opened up a lot that is a super inspiring story wow um okay

483
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:54,000
well we're almost at the end of our hour uh this has been really fascinating and I'm not even

484
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:59,540
anywhere near and remember we've got Sarah here who's had uh one I'm not anywhere near I'll be

485
00:50:59,540 --> 00:51:05,280
drinking this all day into the night and when it's toward the end that's when I'll have definitely

486
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:10,960
keep one for late at night when I get that sweet two-thirds not saying I won't have any chocolate

487
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:18,140
but it goes it gets smaller it's much more manageable and I'm not exactly sure why but

488
00:51:18,140 --> 00:51:24,320
