WE'RE
WE'RE DIGGING INTO THE ARCHIVES ARCHIVES FOR THIS WEEK'S CARA'S
CURES AND BACK IN 2019. I SAT
DOWN WITH ONE OF MY FAVORITE
DOCTORS IN THE WORLD, THE WORLD
FAMOUS DR MARK HYMAN TO SEE WHAT
IS HE EAT EVERY DAY. AND WHAT
CAN WE LEARN FROM HIM? THIS WAS
BACK WHEN HE HAD JUST RELEASED A
NEW COOKBOOK CALLED FOOD. WHAT
THE HECK SHOULD I COOK? DOCTOR
HYMAN IS HEAD OF STRATEGY AND
INNOVATION FOR THE CENTER FOR
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE AT CLEVELAND
CLINIC. IS A WELLNESS CENTER.
NOT TOO FAR FROM US HERE IN
LENOX, MASSACHUSETTS, THAT YOU
CAN GO TO WHERE I GOT TO MEET
HIM AND SIT DOWN WITH THE GOOD
DOCTOR TO FIND OUT WHAT WE
SHOULD EAT ON A DAILY BASIS TO
LOSE WEIGHT AND FEEL BETTER.
TAKE A LOOK. AND YOU'RE DR MARK
HYMAN, THE AUTHOR, MOST RECENTLY
OF WHAT THE HECK SHOULD I COOK?
WHICH THIS IS OUR COOKBOOK TO GO
WITH? WHAT THE HECK SHOULD I
EAT? WHICH SORT OF BRINGS US TO
OUR FIRST QUESTION OF MOST
PEOPLE PROBABLY DON'T KNOW WHAT
THE HECK SHOULD WE EAT? IT'S
TRUE. WE'RE SO CONFUSED AND IT'S
NO WONDER BECAUSE ONE DAY THE
NEWS SAYS EGGS ARE BAD THEN
THEY'RE GOOD. THEN THEY'RE BAD.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T THINK OF FOOD
AS MEDICINE. BUT IT IS SO MOST
PEOPLE THINK OF FOODS CALORIES.
YOU KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO EAT
TOO MANY CALORIES. YOU WANT TO
BURN OFF MORE CALORIES THAN YOU
EAT. THAT'S THE SECRET TO WEIGHT
LOSS. EXCEPT IT DOESN'T WORK
BECAUSE FOOD CONTAINS FAR MORE
THAN CALORIES. IT CONTAINS
INFORMATION. BASICALLY
INFORMATION. BASICALLY INSTRUCTIONS THAT TELL YOUR
BIOLOGY WHAT TO DO EVERY MINUTE.
SO SPEED UP YOUR METABOLISM.
SLOW IT DOWN, SO WE REALLY
SHOULDN'T COUNT CALORIES. NO BAD
IDEA. DON'T COUNT CALORIES.
NEVER WHAT DO YOU EAT? LET'S
START WITH THE MORNING. MORNING
I HAVE A COUPLE OF BREAKFAST. I
LIKE YOU KNOW, PASTURE RAISED
EGGS NOT PASTEURIZED, BUT EXIT
OR FROM CHICKENS THAT RUN AROUND
AND PASTURES AND EAT ALL KINDS
OF GRUBS THAT MAKES THEM HAVE A
LOT OF NUTRIENTS. IF YOU WANT TO
MAKE IT FANCIER. HE HAS A ONE
PART BREAKFAST RECIPE FOR EGGS
WITH GREEN HOOKAH, A FLAVORFUL
SAUCE WITH GREEN VEGGIES. NO
TOAST. I'M NOT A BIG TOAST GUY,
I THINK YOU KNOW, FLAT GRAIN OR
SO GUESS WHAT? HOLY BREAD RAISE
YOUR BLOOD SUGAR. MORE THAN
TABLE SUGAR. SO IF YOU HAVE A
SANDWICH WITH TWO SLICES OF
WHOLE WHEAT BREAD, YOU MIGHT AS
WELL PUT TWO TABLESPOONS OF
TABLE SUGAR ON YOUR SANDWICH
FIXINGS AND YOU'D BE BETTER OFF
. DR HYMAN THINKS MOST PEOPLE
SHOULD BE GLUTEN FREE OR GLUTEN
LIGHT. ALL OF HIS BREAD. RECIPES
IN THE BOOK ARE MADE WITH NUTS,
FLOWERS AND SEEDS. OR YOU CAN
TRY BUYING PALEO BREADS AND
SPREAD SOME NUT BUTTER ON THEM.
HE CALLS HIMSELF A PAGAN SOMEONE
WHO EATS MOSTLY PLANTS WITH LEAN
PROTEIN FROM ANIMALS AND MINIMAL
GRAINS FOR A MID MORNING SNACK
DOCTOR HYMAN LOVES A GOOD
SMOOTHIE YOU CAN PUT IN ALL
KINDS OF THINGS IN YOUR
SMOOTHIES YOU CAN PUT IN
COLLAGEN PROTEIN. THIS ONE HAS
BLUE BLUEBERRY ZUCCHINI, ALMOND
MILK, COLLAGEN POWDER. A LITTLE
COCONUT WATER. ALMOND BUTTER,
CHIA SEEDS, HEMP SEEDS CT OFF
WHAT DOES DR HOW MANY FOR LUNCH
FOR LUNCH? YOU KNOW IF I'M HOME
, I TYPICALLY MAKE WHAT I CALL A
FAT SALAD. THIS IS A RECIPE FREE
MEAL IN THE BOOK. THE GOAL IS
VEGGIES, HEALTHY, FAT AND
PROTEIN. SO PEOPLE ARE HAVING A
SALAD. JUST SOME SIMPLE THINGS
YOU WOULD TELL THEM ADD SOME
NUTS. ADD SOME PROTEIN AND. EVEN
THAT WOULD BE GOOD FATS. YEAH
AVOCADOS, OLIVES, OLIVE OIL. OIL
YEAH, PUMPKIN SEEDS ARE GREAT.
SPEAKING OF NUTS THERE DR
HYMAN'S FAVORITE SNACKS. THE
BOOK HAS RECIPES FOR ENERGIZING
TRAIL MIXES OR JUST EAT THEM RAW
ON THE GO NOW WE'RE GETTING TO
DINNER IS THE ONE QUESTION OF
WHAT'S FOR DINNER THAT A LOT OF
MOMS JUST HATE TO EVEN THINK
ABOUT BECAUSE IT'S SO BUSY
NOWADAYS. IT'S NOT THAT HARD. I
MEAN, TYPICALLY, YOU KNOW
THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT RECIPES
IN HERE, AND SOME OF THEM TAKE A
LITTLE MORE TIME FROM THEIR LESS
TIME. BUT I, YOU KNOW, I'LL
MAKE, FOR EXAMPLE, A STATE
SALARY TO SUPER EASY JUST PUT A
PIECE OF LIKE GRASS FED. SKIRT
STEAK ON A GRILL. SLICE IT UP
THIN, THROWING A BIG SALAD. SO
WHERE'S THE PASTA OR THE RICE?
IT'S NOT ON THE MENU. THERE ARE
ESSENTIAL FATS. THERE ARE
ESSENTIAL PROTEINS. BUT THERE'S
NO SUCH THING AS ESSENTIAL
CARBOHYDRATES. NOT NECESSARILY
BECAUSE TO EAT. WE DON'T NO CARB
TO LIVE AT ALL. EXCEPT WHAT I
WOULD SAY IS CARBOHYDRATES ARE
ALSO THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE
NEED FOR HEALTH AND LONGEVITY
THAT VEGETABLES MM. RIGHT NOW,
DR HAMMOND SAYS, WE REALLY NEED
TO START THINKING OF SUGAR AS AN
UNREGULATED DRUG THAT IS HOOKING
AMERICANS INTO PROCESSED FOOD
BECAUSE THE COMPANIES ACTUALLY
STUDY OUR BLISS POINT. LIKE HOW
DO WE MAKE SURE WE'RE GOING TO
EAT MORE OF IT. GOD OH, SO IT'S
NOT ALL YOUR FAULT. AND YOU KNOW
IF YOU COULD GOOGLE HE HAS A 10
DAY DETOX WHERE YOU CAN HELP GET
OFF YOUR SUGAR, HE SAYS IT ONLY
TAKES A MAYBE 30 MINUTES, MAX TO
PREPARE ALL OF HIS MEALS FOR THE
WHOLE DAY. THAT'S INCREDIBLE,
BECAUSE HE JUST PUTS WHOLE FOODS
TOGETHER. HOLD FOODS ARE FAST
FOOD SO YOU CAN VISIT ULTRA
WELLNESS CENTER IN LENOX,
MASSACHUSETTS, ACTUALLY, FOR
HEALTH SCREENINGS. I KNOW
MELISSA COLE HAS BEEN THERE AND
SHE HAD HER BLOOD WORK DONE.
IT'S IF IT'S SOMETHING YOU WANT
TO DO MORE, OR HE'S JUST GOT A
