so this is the stuff that's slowing our metabolism it's making us sick it's making us unhealthy
but it's also definitely not helping us in our weight loss endeavors

struggling to lose weight to build muscle to stay consistent check out the link in the description
of this video we got a free training there for you that lays out our process a little bit more in
depth so you can start to understand how powerful it really is now today got something a little
special for you i had a buddy who reached out to me and he sent me this twitter thread now i'm not
on twitter i have an account but i don't tweet or anything like that but this thread is 12 visuals
that show why 70 of americans are overweight or obese and i didn't look through the whole
thing i looked through a couple of them and i was like this is gold and he suggested i make a video
so shout out to you dylan and uh that's what i'm gonna do because this is some really good content
and i do think it's important that more people see this stuff so 12 visuals that show why 70
of americans are overweight or obese number one 10 companies control almost all of the industrial
food we eat now i'm going to open the image this is pretty wild if you look at these this
is pretty much every generic brand that i have ever seen we've got things ranging from baby food
to beauty care products deodorant body spray we got cat food in there dog food we got snacks we
got candies we got breakfast cereals pretty much every generic food that you see in the grocery
store is controlled by 10 separate companies okay now that's a lot so hypothetically i'm not going
to say that this is true or false or anything like that but let's say hypothetically one of those
companies didn't have our best interest in mind maybe they were a little more focused on making
money than actually providing us high quality food if one of those companies had that in mind
you can just look at this graph like look how many different products would be affected from things
that we kind of know aren't as healthy right candies things like that but then also things
that we sometimes believe are healthy we got juices in there we got some baby food like i said
we got some beauty care products a lot of things that we could consider as you know not necessarily
the best of the best but still somewhat healthy cheerios right for example pepsico cheerios is or
general meals that is cheerios is heart healthy or healthy right super healthy must be good to have
first meal today hypothetically that wasn't the most healthy thing in the world if general mills
didn't have our best interest in mind could you see how maybe there's the potential that
a lot of these foods could be containing things that aren't actually the best for us
just hypothetically something to think about number two seventy percent of our crops are
genetically modified now that's crazy to me um so from a genetic modification standpoint you get a
lot of haters and who say oh it's not unhealthy it's there's no evidence there's no science
anything like that so i'll let you sit in this one i did a video on glyphosate you guys can go check
that out that's endotoxin it hurts your metabolism it hurts your hormones it has a lot of issues
with gut health and when you make a plant that's genetically modified you can make that plant which
if you normally sprayed it with glyphosate it would die you can now make that glyphosate
resistant which gives you the opportunity to spray a lot more glyphosate on that plant
so hypothetically if 70 of the united states crops are genetically modified that's the
majority of things that you believe are healthy fruits vegetables that now have this pesticide
that's deeply deeply messing with our physiology our body right we open this up we look we see
usa is about 70 and second place not even close is brazil 37 38 ish that's crazy that's a big
difference that's about double and from the second place like we're way way ahead of everybody else
so we'll keep going number three four meat packers control eighty percent of
all meat that we consume they undercharge the rancher and overcharge you the consumer
now as far as undercharging the rancher um 100 i mean if you look at
i just went to a local farm which that video will be out soon so you can subscribe to see that
um and it was very clear that they didn't have much support from banks they didn't have
much support from the government and so what you experience with these four large companies is they
have a large demand if they have a large demand their goal is to produce as much as possible
and so to produce what do they have to do they have to take a chicken that would normally take
two years to grow to full length or let's say nine months and they have to pump it with antibiotics
to make sure it's healthy steroids to make sure it grows all this other nasty stuff that takes that
nine months of growth and turns it into 90 days so they can turn more food over make more money okay
so hypothetically let's just let's just stew on this what if what if at least one of these
companies that produce 80 of all meats didn't have our best interest in mind wasn't too worried about
our health what could they potentially do you know something to think about we'll keep going
number four there's an overabundance of processed foods including 47 000 products in your average
grocery store this is just a fact you know the united states specifically and i don't remember
if he goes into it and like i said i didn't make it all the way but there's ingredients that are
illegal in other countries that are legal in the united states and that are in most generic
processed foods and so we look at studies right studies have specifically shown that they took
two groups of people they said fed them the same calories so weight loss is calories and calories
out so they fed in the same amount of calories same amount of macros proteins carbs fats all that
stuff one group was fed real food same numbers the other group was fed processed foods same numbers
the processed food group lost half the amount of weight than the the group that ate real food okay
so this is the stuff that's slowing our metabolism it's making us sick it's making us unhealthy
um but it's also definitely not helping us in our weight loss endeavors so there's that 47 000
products i mean you walk around your grocery store you'll see like the majority besides the meat the
milk the fruit the vegetables the majority of the aisles are processed foods even if they're labeled
organic or healthy or anything like that a lot of them have been processed pretty hard number five
our doctors have become legalized drug dealers and over prescribed medication rather than getting to
the root cause of our illnesses this is a fact you know i don't necessarily think all doctors i don't
even think most doctors are ill-intentioned i think a lot of them do have good intentions
but when we look at it nutrition when you're pursuing your doctorate nutrition is one class
in the entire however many years i think it's like eight or ten years of education nutrition is one
single class in one semester of schooling and you know from my perspective nutrition is a huge part
of the problem i've worked with people and reduced their diabetes made them pre-diabetic instead of
diabetic work with people who had had stomach issues headaches bloating all these things that
normally doctors would just prescribe things for that have been reversed with eating healthy and so
it's true man like you go to a doctor if it's not a good doctor if it's just your generic
doctor there's a high chance that rather than ask questions and get to the root of the issue
if you're experiencing some sort of issue with your body or your mind all they're going to want
to do is put you on a pill and again some are good intention but they just don't know
some are bad intention and they're making money you know they get paid for the prescriptions that
they're able to write out and so yeah another thing that's a little frustrating moving on
six our pharmaceutical companies control our food seed supply yep so monsanto is the company that
makes glyphosate which again did that video on it um it's pretty terrible it's pretty terrible like
you're getting the company that has weed killer that has been proven to cause cancer and they are
getting into our pharmaceuticals they're getting into things that are supposed to be healing for
us but more of you know let's suppress this symptom while simultaneously creating more
issues in the body okay so again not good number seven we broke the back of our small farmer and
incentivize farms to be as large as possible look up earl butts to find out more so earl butts i
believe he had some role in washington i don't remember his exact role but he allowed farmers
to or he incentivized them to basically use more of their land in a ineffective way i forget what
the actual story is here but i mean it says in the text incentivize farms to be as large as possible
so we wanted to get large large farms and large operations you usually need to cut corners when
it comes to taking care of our health in order to stay profitable to make more money so yep i mean
if we went to a local farm and you got real food the world would be a much much healthier place
or even if you knew how to grow your own food so number nine we demonize saturated fat which we've
eaten for thousands of years and have replaced it with refined grains and sugar fact um there was a
study that came out or something that came out that scientists were paid about fifty thousand
dollars back in the fifties or sixties to blame uh it was blame fat for what sugar was doing
and that's what they did and now look at our country you know we look at things so saturated
fat has gotten a bad rap but all the studies that have bad results with saturated fats are
using one type of saturated fat whereas there's multiple you know red meat is incredible for you
grass-fed butter is incredible for you raw milk is incredible for you all these things that we have
been taught are bad are actually incredible for our health and it's demonized saturated fat for
who knows what reason which is basically creating an imbalance we've got omega-3 fats omega-6s
most standard americans diets with the canola oils and the grains and all that stuff
very high in omega-6 which is inflammatory very low in omega-3 which is anti-inflammatory
so whereas the balance is what we want most americans have this insane
discrepancy in their omegas so another reason you know lack of education lack of information
whatever you want to call it people are being misfed this just terrible terrible information
taking it as fact and a lot of people are ruining their health because of it
this one i guess this is not 9.5 the average american eats 130 pounds of sugar per year
that's just insane i mean if you do a sugar-free challenge for a week look at the labels of your
food and you're going to be blown away at the things that sugar is in that you would have
had no idea i'm talking hummus i'm talking um i got a pesto once that had sugar in it there's
the sauces that you use there's an insane amount of sugar any drinks you buy there's most likely
an insane amount of sugar even if it's like the healthier ones healthier like gatorade and all
that and so sugar is a massive massive part of our life and it is really negatively impacting
our body and 130 pounds is insane 1822 every five days you'd have about one can of soda worth
uh 2012 every five days you're looking at one two three four five six seven fourteen seventeen cans
of soda which is absolutely insane number ten we have replaced natural cooking fats ghee tallow
butter with industrial vegetable oils made in the factory yep vegetable oil seed oils get them out
of your diet i'm talking canola oils soybean oils grape seed oils the vegetable oils even
potentially some olive oils avocado oils can be pretty bad but for the most part like go with real
fats go with the coconut oil the ghee the tallow the butter like this is what we need to be healthy
i know it's scary i know a lot of people haven't fed this information for so long that it just
feels weird to think about eating that stuff because it feels unhealthy i mean i remember
growing up i thought butter was super unhealthy now i have probably two to four tablespoons of
butter every single day look at me look at me but for real like i'm not only do i look good on the
outside but i feel good internally i have good bio markers i'm very very healthy and so we got to get
out of this sense of fear of that if you eat a steak or you eat some butter you're going to be
unhealthy because it's just not true it helps us in the long term so get rid of seed oils man it's
really really gross stuff and then 11 we think that fake plant commodities like beyond me are a
healthier source than pure animal protein hey man brother i mean look at this second ingredient here
we got p protein isolate and then expelled pressed canola oil back to the seed oils this is just a
combination of a bunch of stuff made in the lab does not interact with our body in a healthy way
there's a lot of toxic stuff our body has to work through so again back to that toxic overload this
is not a good idea this is not going to make you a healthier person not going to make you a happier
person it's going to make it harder for you harder harder harder so please take this into account man
like don't buy the beyond meats if you're going to go vegetarian or vegan for ethical reasons okay
but get smarter protein sources don't just do stuff like this because this is awful number
12 you've never shaken your local farmer's hand they're incentivized to provide us with the best
quality food possible fact going in this farm and i'm glad i did before i made this video was super
super eye opening seeing how hard they work how they produce their food what they actually do to
slaughter it to take it through the process how it impacts our health how it impacts the environment
and most people don't even know a local farm near them they don't even know the name of a local farm
i mean i grew up in new jersey for 17 years i lived in connecticut for probably six years
and i never knew any farms near me i think i knew i knew one farm in new jersey but didn't know
anything in connecticut had no sort of interaction with any farmers other places didn't buy meats
from there whereas that's the high quality food that's the real food that's coming from the earth
so that's number 12. um that's all we got on this one and when you start to add these things up
and you really start to look at this like most people think they're being healthy i don't think
that and there's there's exceptions to every rule but i don't think that the majority of people
are going out and trying to be unhealthy i think that it's a big mixture of people just not being
educated enough to be aware like literally not even aware of how the things they're consuming are
affecting them but then more importantly there's just a lot of misinformation like the food pyramid
we're taught that grains are supposed to be the biggest part of our diet i believe grains have to
be the least part like i really think you flip it around and you have a pretty good representation
of what we should be eating and then we look at any diet and there's all these asterisks of
you know keto's high fat so let's just look at the label and look at fats whereas if you're consuming
high fat of canola oil you're not going to have a good time or you take a diet like gluten free
gluten can be super bad for you if it's processed which most gluten is but then if you're eating
just for gluten free a lot of products can be gluten free but have other garbage in them
so we've got to become more aware and that is step one and that's something that we focus on big time
in our program it's the reason our clients think that getting healthy is actually easy
is because they have an awareness they know what they're consuming and how it impacts their body
so again if you are interested in learning about what we do and potentially working together check
the link in the description of this video for free training other than that just build some
awareness you know like the biggest shift for me was starting to understand that
these companies did not care about my health about our health and that the biggest middle
finger i could give them was to take control of my health to eat healthy to feel incredible
so something to do on today something super important i appreciate you guys again like
the video if i brought you value subscribe to the channel hit that bell icon we're putting out new
videos at least once a week and they're all geared towards making you a healthier and happier person
besides that i appreciate you a ton as always make sure to eat smart move more
sleep deep and be grateful for this moment i'll see in the next video
