He is absolutely right about exercise and memory. At 52 and being sedentary for about 20 years with a terribly diet, I began exercising every single day and began eating only a healthy diet. Painfully and slowly I worked up to running 7 days a week and my memory recall has steadily improved. I have not skipped a day of exercise in a year, next goal is 1000 days without missing a day of running.

What really pisses me off is the amount of chocolate bars and candy in every store across the country. You have to walk through a tunnel of sugar to pay for your fuel.

I am 80 and still working out for 2hrs/day following these guidelines

60 yrs old. Two weeks ago I gave up my nightly bowl of ice cream. I can't believe the change. I am sleeping better feeling better & my energy level is way up. Now looking to remove more sugar from my eating habits.

You can really tell that this gentleman has a great heart. What a gift to humanity.

💯 agree. My mother started walking at 50 of age and has not stopped. She is 79 yrs of age, still walks and her mind is sharper then mine. No medication! Amazing!! She walks for 2 hrs every single morning and rest day is Sunday. Of course eating well. She is my idol. I am 53 of age now, been following her steps for 2 yrs now and I kid you not, not only the weight falls off but it just does so many other amazing things to your body and yes, your brain. Just amazing ♥️

This is the most important film I have ever seen. On YouTube or other media sources. Eat healthy and move people!

Real wisdom. Giving up sugar and refined carbohydrates about 15 years ago was the best thing I ever did for myself. People don’t want to believe it’s true because you pretty much have to buy whole ingredients and cook for yourself to truly get away from it. And stop eating out all the time. Processed food is garbage. People need to really start learning how to read a food label and they will see. Fast food restaurants and grocery stores are deadly. It all adds up in a day and they’re slipping little amounts into everything.

I removed sugar and went very low carb Feb 1st and the first 20 days was absolutely horrible. I almost went to the ER 3 times because of the withdrawals and seen my doctor once. I had tremors, migraines, vertigo and body aches. Just to name a few symptoms. I literally felt like I was dying. Today is 23 days and I am so glad I did it. My head is so much more clearer. I have more energy and I’m not as irritable and a bonus, I’ve lost 8lbs.

Another thing that makes tom such a great interviewer is that he has enough baseline knowledge to ask the right questions

I’m addicted to Impact/Health theory. What’s awesome is not only do these guests add value to your life, and inspire you, each episode has applicable information that we can all use. This is the channel to watch in 2019 if you’re set on self-improvement. Thank you, Tom!

My eyes turned teary when I saw Dr's eyes turned red when he was talking about the video sent by the kids mother. He could help the kid and many future kids...what a touching moment. He chocked. So do I, realization of having such a wonderful people on this earth. Thank you, Doc...we need doctors like you. 🤗

I'm in my 60s and have exercised every day all my life. We practically lived outside as kids. On a recent beautiful day, I noticed as I was walking that there wasn't one child at the playground, and I know there's lots of kids in that area. Way too much screen time obviously and maybe that includes the parents who are too busy on their computer to take their child to the park. So sad. Thank you for having one of my fav. health practitioners as a guest. I always learn something new. Dr. P mentions DHA being good for increasing BDNF - great to take a good quality cod liver oil (refrigerated) for that as well as some nuts. Pecans are my fav. since they have the best omega ratio (not so much omega 6 like in almonds and almond flour - I thiink people go overboard with this).

[JustCallMeElle]

I'm very grateful for learning the benefits of MCT oil. I'm someone who loves sweets and it's my main enemy in losing weight although I'm not obese, I am over the normal weight. Did keto and had a hard time losing weight. Took MCT oil and Boom! No more cravings especially for junk food!!! Even smelling the food doesn't make me crave for it at all. I no longer crave for sugar.

[Glowgirl]

Today is my 4th day going cold turkey no sugar... I have so much more energy wanting to get up early however I have had night sweats, dizziness and keep getting body aches all over my body!!! This sugar drug is worse than any other addiction I actually thought I was going to die on day 2!! But stick through it guys because the results will be amazing, already my skin is brighter and dark circles reduced ❤😍🧚🏼xxx

Congratulations to Tom, the conductor, he knows how to listen, and knows when to ask the proper questions.

People, read GRAIN
World is on the brink of a new era thanks to people like this Doctor.
The answers are in our abdomen.
cheers

[CleanCutt]

sometimes we go overboard ... we become obsessed with health issues ... and we end up spending our day measuring levels of everything. Daily exercise and a healthy low carb, no sugar diet is all we need to live a good healthy life. I am not going to spend my day terrified of higher levels of this and that.

[OneOfNone]

Been telling my patients this since 2012. Food is life! Inflammation is the source of most health issues. Thank you Doc!

[jamisongee]

Being in the medical profession I can vouch that this great man's teachings challenge the average GP's thinking. What an extraordinarily interesting time spent with this doctor. Many thanks.
