Part 3 - Keep Your Body Healthy For Life with Dr. George Shapiro

Foreign.

Welcome to this edition of the million Dollar Mastermind podcast. This is where we pick the brains of high achievers from all walks of life and get their hard earned real world insights on winning. I'm your host, Larry Wydell.

And you can turn things around. Let's give people some hope. Like there won't be a clinic across the street from you tomorrow. You can get, you can find out where these are. You got the resources, you can go. But the thing is, you can start where you are now, changing your diet, start walking, doing things that, that will reverse the tide to where you're not being your worst enemy. You're starting to do good things for yourself. Wouldn't you say, George?

I would. And there's a doctor who started me on this. He was 61 at the time and this was a while ago, he a horn attack at 61 and he started getting healthy again. And he was actually my physician in sen and he's still going strong at 85 today. So, I mean, you know when you say, oh, it's far gone, I need to start this one, I'm 40. Absolutely not. I have patients who are 85, 87. I was just with a gentleman who was 88 this weekend at one of the conferences I've been to and he looked amazing at 88. Look at your friend Harvey. He is a machine. You don't. You need to really get that drive. Unfortunately, people lose that drive, they lose that motivation. You get in this rut and you think it's too late. It's not too late. It's not too late.

And the purpose of this is not to blow people's minds with confusion, but to stimulate them to realize you just don't have to take it. But you need to realize you can stand up for yourself. You can make a change. You can get information, this information that you've covered on here where it might have blown people's minds. Well, you can listen to it again, by the way. And you can also get Hunt and you can start talking about it to your medical professionals. You can start reading about it, looking at it on YouTube. You can start to bring these things into your life and start to change the direction towards health, prosperity, good things, rather than just drift off over Niagara Falls to your death.

Unfortunately, Larry, a lot of physicians who I train with are still referring to their textbooks in medical school. The way medicine is today. It's very hard to really focus in on a lot of the new data and new science because it's happening so rapidly and they're Bombarded with so many patients, there's a shortage of physicians. And so they're doing really what's called sick care. What I'm doing is, well, care prevention. I'm also doing some sick care as well, but it's a whole different way to do medicine. You prevent the disease, you see people when they're healthy, and you prevent the chronic disease that occurs later on. And we can change it. We can really change that, what's happening. But we also have these new advanced therapies that someone who's having an acute problem, we'll find out why you have that problem. The current medical management is not finding out why, just going to treat it. Your blood pressure's high. Let me give you a blood pressure pill. Your cholesterol's high, let me give you a statin. Yeah, I mean, we had a patient today, his cholesterol was 130, very, very low. His sugar was amazing. And he still had progression of his coronary plaque. And it turns out why? Because he had a gut parasite, believe it or not. And it was screwing up his liver metabolism. And it was in his liver and that's what makes cholesterol through something called HMG COA reductase. And it was. And things like this to find out why is really what you want. And everyone is. It's all personalized medicine today. Everybody's different. And no matter what your gene says, you can change it. So I agree. It's never too late to start.

Well, of course you can't use things that are not approved. Unfortunately, it is a long, drawn out process. However, there's a lot of things out there that are approved that you can use if you get the right people. But this, I'm fascinated with the testing. You know, until you get the test and you get the data, you really don't know which direction to go in. You're just throwing darts at things. It seems like there's an explosion or a big development in this testing.

Well, so if you don't test, you're not going to find it. A lot of physicians are like, no, don't test because you're going to find something. And those are called incidentalomas. Okay, that's an old term and that's nonsense. So far we've found pancreatic cancers, stage one, and now people are cured still alive today because we caught it early in stage one. The survival rate that cancer early in stage one is almost 90, 90% or more instead of 5% stage four. You don't want to be that person. You really Want to be proactive with your health. You have one body. And I think people need to get really more aggressive. And if they're not feeling right, there's a reason for it. Find out why. And you need to see that. You need to go to the right doctor. Most physicians don't understand this because they're involved in sick care. That's why we became doctors. That's what I learned. Sick care. Now there's a better way. Prevention, well care. And that's really our focus right now as well care. But we do have these advanced therapies. Have you ever heard of some called translational gap?

No.

You know, when you see something in the basic science lab, by the time it gets a general public, it's 18 years later.

Wow.

Because of what we do in our company, Fountain Life, we're able to get something that's announced in four weeks to some of our members. So we're very aggressive when it comes to some of these new innovations. And we make sure they're safe, obviously. And everything we do is FDA approved, by the way.

And so it's important to just emphasize, again, there's a cause and effect relationship in the world. And if things are going bad, it's just like in your business, you can, you know, it's like, what's causing that? Let's change it. And all you're doing is taking that into the kind of mysterious. You know, it started they used to leech blood out of people to cure them for diseases. And basically just medicine started off just killing people, experimenting. But it's, you know, at least they were one thing he said, at least.

They were trying, you know, the number one cause of death is no hospital errors.

Hospital errors.

Unbelievable. Stay out of the hospital. You don't want to go into the hospital. Hospitals love to be filled. They love to be packed. The hospitals don't like me right now. I'm keeping people out of the hospital. The test that we do, we're diagnosing disease so they won't need surgery. And hospitals make money with surgery. Pharmaceutical companies make money with medication. If you don't have diabetes, you don't need the diabetes medication. You don't have high blood pressure.

You.

You don't need the hypertensive medication. If we reducing cholesterol early enough and not making plaque, you won't need stents.

Well, you've lived a life where you've been around some exciting people. And with this positive drive, not only in medicine but in business, what would you, if you're speaking to people, are out running their businesses today and everything in terms of just basically approach to life, what do you see those similarities between in the medical world and even in the outside world, like the Tony Robbins or even the people like the other entrepreneurs you're working with or people who come to see you?

So a lot has to do with your drive. Okay, how you feel, your confidence when you walk into the room. Do you control the room? Are you the captain of the ship? The people see you as a boss without you telling them, I'm the boss. And you just carry that. And what, what makes you feel that way is getting healthy. When you optimize your health, when you're feeling that natural, it's. You don't have to inject yourself with anything. It's just your natural hormones that you're born with. If you optimize those hormones. And there's ways to do it with nutrition and exercise, you have that drive and motivation, and you control the room. It's like I have. You feel my energy right now. It's like I'm through the computer. You can feel that, and everyone can feel that. And you need a good night's sleep. You need to avoid the toxins, you need to exercise, you need to eat better. And most people just don't do that. I learned one thing, teaching people how to eat, how to eat in a restaurant, how to eat on vacation, how to eat on an airplane. The first thing, you go to a restaurant, what do they do? They put a bowl of bread on the table, and you're starving. You didn't eat all day, you didn't have lunch. Just can't wait. And before you get that bread, you have a giant cocktail, a glass of wine or a martini. And now you're eating the bread. So what's in the martini? What's in the alcohol? Glucose. What's in the bread? Glucose. Immediately you have this rise of sugar, and insulin comes out, and insulin rises to lower the sugar, but because the sugar drops, you're hungry again. So you start eating a lot. And you eat so fast because you're so hungry, it's under 20 minutes. So the brain doesn't get the message that you're eating, so you keep eating. But after 20 minutes, the brain gives you the message, I'm full. And you don't want to even eat your entree because you had so many appetizers already and you had so much bread. And then, then you go right to dessert. And then you have your caffeine and your chocolate. So it's not eating that Bread. Don't have the bread. Put the bread away. There's combinations of food. First you should have protein, then your vegetables, then your carbs last. Don't want the carbs first. So there's different ways that you can interact certain food groups. You want to have the steak without the potato because you want your belly fat to digest the steak. You don't want the potato to digest the steak. But everybody eats steak and potato. So now just have steak, vegetable, salad. Right? No bread until you get down to your body weight. Lean. You have to not eat certain things. I love pizza more than anything. I could eat a whole pie by myself. You. But you know, if you get into this rut and you're 15 pounds overweight, you cannot have that slice of pizza until you're down £15. Make yourself accountable. I have an app on my phone, the pedometer app. I make sure I do 10,000 steps every single day before I go to sleep. After every meal. I try to walk 30 minutes after every meal. If I'm on a zoom call, I'll do the zoom while I'm walking. Now with telemedicine, after, if the COVID Everyone on computers doing meetings, walk during your meetings. You need to walk. Just walking 60 minutes a day can increase lifespan by 25 years. That was published in the Journal of Sports Medicine. And a lot of things that I preach are from peer reviewed medical journals that are published in literature.

Well, I've heard for example in line with that, their Harvard Longevity Institute. I forget the guy's name, but he said like information that needs to get out to people. He said, like the average female who walks 120 minutes a week, just 120 minutes of walking a week will reduce all incidences of like heart disease or stroke or whatever by 60%. Just, you know, and also cancer, you know, like breast cancer and all of that. 60% reduction just in 120 minutes a week of walking.

Exercise is so key. I think exercise about exercise and nutrition are 70% of this. 70, 70%. And unfortunately, if your hormones are low and if you have toxins in your body, you don't have the drive to do the exercise. Yeah, don't want to do it. If you're tired and you can't do it, then find out why you're tired. Yeah, I mean that's what we do. We find out why you're tired. Fix it. So from biochemistry I learned this cycle called TCA cycle or Krebs cycle and all these enzymatic reactions from food that we eat Whether it's a protein, a fat or carbohydrate, go through these reactions. They go through something called the electron transport chain. And the end goal is ATP. And this is happening in your cells. And ATP is your energy producer. We should make about a hundred pounds of this ATP adenine triphosphate every single day. And if you do, then you're optimized. Most people don't. Most people make 20% of that. So if I'm only making 20% of my energy, how can I go to the gym and lift weights?

How can I go walk?

I'm too tired. So first thing is, find out what's going on, fix it, and then start getting yourself elite again. You have one body, you want to maintain it.

And the thing is, it's just like how, you know, Rome wasn't built in a day. Start making a step. Make a step today. Start stepping, start moving, Make a decision. You're going to turn this thing around. And because knowing that you can, based off of what they've heard from you today, and start to move aggressively towards that better life, that happier life, that more enjoyable life that, you know, you want, that you're, you know, because why have success if you're not going to enjoy it or if you're not going.

To live long enough to write? You have to want it. So I know we're getting close to the end, but I want to tell you a story. I gave some lectures to big companies, and I'm not going to mention the names of the companies, but there were. One was like a major airline. One was. Was a major energy company. And they had 100,000 employees. And I said to them, we have a program where we can get all your employees healthy. And if you have a healthy employee and they don't get sick, it's going to help you with your business. Because to replace a vice president or treasurer of a company is devastating to your bottom line. And you know what? The chief medical officers of all these companies, you know what they told me? They go, our members, they don't want to stop eating their donuts. They don't want to stop eating their bagels. They like the way they are. They want to go home and have that be here and sit on the couch. They don't want to do it.

Yeah.

So that's the first step. You have to want to do it and you have to want to live, and you have to want that inside. And. And you start feeling it by just doing a little bit. And you wake up in the morning and you Start exercising. You do your workout in the morning before any. Everything starts early and you start feeling good and you look in the mirror at yourself and you say, wow, I'm not fat anymore. I'm starting to look good. I'm starting to get some muscle tone and that's good drive, you know, Fantastic.

Well, I always let my. I appreciate all of this information. And again, your energy comes right through the screen and so we could tell you're living what you're talking about. And I always like to give the guests the last word to wrap it up for the people that have stayed with us all the way through. What thing would you send people away with, want them to have on their mind to go and make this really useful to them?

I mean, you look, obviously if they're interested, we have a big organization, we can start helping people and seeing them in our offices. If they go to zio scientific.com or fountain life.com we can start helping you on your journey of a longevity. I would start watching your sugar. Stay away from high fructose corn syrup. Stay away from inflammatory meats. You want to have grass fed meat, organic meats, stay away from the fried foods, dairy, sometimes very inflammatory. So there's a whole thing. But before you start avoiding things, we want to find out where you're at. I would get a baseline. I would have everyone come in and get a baseline.

Yeah. Unbelievable. Thanks so much, Dr. Shapiro. It's been great and I'm looking forward to talking to you down the line because I know there's a lot of breakthroughs that are coming and it's going.

To be fun to every week have me back. I'll be happy to come back and give you some follow up and I'll be happy to help any, any of your people.

All right, thanks so much. I'll take you up on that. Thank you. Have a great rest of the week and weekend.
