Continuing our smoothie episode, Chef Cat and Nurse Bridgette talk about ways to eat delicious, nutritious food as part of a sustainable plan to live healthy. Captions below.
0:00:24.080,0:00:28.480
welcome to the ascend health show i’m your
host nick angeles and you’re so confused
0:00:28.480,0:00:33.120
right now as far as why am i drinking
a smoothie it’s a really good one too
0:00:34.160,0:00:39.520
i’m here with chef kat and nurse bridget from a
to z living well solutions hello and you probably
0:00:39.520,0:00:44.320
missed our last show which is where these were
made but we thought it was such a good time
0:00:44.320,0:00:49.600
that we’ll just continue and talk about a few more
things to run out of things to talk about so from
0:00:49.600,0:00:54.720
ascend health center where i’m one of the owners
i’m a nurse anesthetist we deal with mental health
0:00:54.720,0:01:00.640
we have psychiatry counselors we do ketamine
infusions sprovato which is a similar nasal spray
0:01:00.640,0:01:05.520
and also transcranial magnetic stimulation which
right now you’re thinking well i don’t understand
0:01:05.520,0:01:12.160
what smoothies have to do with any of that but the
idea is that of a holistic healthcare so sometimes
0:01:12.160,0:01:16.320
all you need is a smoothie and then you’re done
and you don’t have to take pills and then other
0:01:16.320,0:01:21.360
times you do need intensive medical treatments
until you get to the point where the nutrition
0:01:21.360,0:01:26.800
does make a quick difference in your life but
because it requires a holistic approach and
0:01:27.680,0:01:32.560
any patient or client it’s hard to say immediately
like oh this will fix you because we’ve all seen
0:01:32.560,0:01:38.640
those websites like the grapefruit juice or our
special no offense to what you said in the last
0:01:38.640,0:01:44.240
episode but our special stevia blend or this or
like this is the key and you can waste a lot of
0:01:44.240,0:01:48.800
money doing that or you can just simply narrow
down to exactly what you need well that’s why
0:01:49.600,0:01:59.280
you need a to z living well solutions so we are
the proud uh co-founders and owners of a to z
0:01:59.280,0:02:07.440
living well solutions we’re based in akron ohio
and we serve all over northeast ohio with box
0:02:07.440,0:02:17.360
lunches with a healthy message and our goal in
life at this point right is really to educator
0:02:18.000,0:02:22.880
and do you want to talk a little bit about what
edu catering means to a to z yeah absolutely
0:02:22.880,0:02:28.400
so just to add what nick you were saying about
it takes a team approach and obviously we have
0:02:29.200,0:02:36.000
three very unique positions here we’ve got a
nurse next to us i’m a anti-inflammatory nurse
0:02:36.000,0:02:41.440
holistic nurse and we have chef kat here and so
three different areas of life but they’re all
0:02:41.440,0:02:46.000
very important so we’ve got the health domain
but then chef kat here she’s got the food
0:02:46.640,0:02:53.280
category here and they all have to work together
and so what we do is educators education
0:02:53.280,0:03:00.400
and catering mix and we like to educate people
on what they’re eating why they’re eating it how
0:03:00.400,0:03:05.360
to swap out harmful ingredients and get yourself
the proper nutrition so that you can enjoy life
0:03:06.320,0:03:11.840
absolutely i remember i had a patient once who
said you know i wasn’t depressed anymore when
0:03:11.840,0:03:17.600
they put me on geodan but i also wasn’t awake
so i talked to the psychiatrist and i was like
0:03:17.600,0:03:20.640
i think this is cheating i’m not
depressed i was like no no no this
0:03:20.640,0:03:25.360
you’re not suicidal this is great and sometimes
it’s that way with our food where we’re like okay
0:03:25.360,0:03:30.720
i’m sad but i’m eating this bland food and i know
i should be healthy and i feel that doesn’t really
0:03:30.720,0:03:36.080
count as health this very cautious like okay i’m
doing everything i’m supposed to maybe i’ll live
0:03:36.080,0:03:42.240
for a long sad life like that’s not the goal of
anything no no no no you want vitality you want
0:03:42.240,0:03:49.440
longevity and a lot of foods actually when you sit
down with the right intentions as i like to say
0:03:49.440,0:03:56.320
and you produce a meal there’s so many emotions
that go into it and you should have an experience
0:03:56.320,0:04:01.680
when you’re cooking or when you go out to eat and
such and that’s why i think that being connected
0:04:01.680,0:04:07.680
to your food in some way is really important so
we kind of say give professional tips we call
0:04:07.680,0:04:15.520
them pro tips but basically a lot of those pro
tips are focusing on how to live your best life
0:04:15.520,0:04:24.240
while eating a meal while preparing the meal while
even at work if you go out for lunch and you come
0:04:24.240,0:04:33.120
back really slow your employer’s not going to
be too happy either so we really um we cater to
0:04:33.120,0:04:40.560
corporations schools and institutions and we
really bring them healthy food but not like
0:04:41.760,0:04:46.720
we’re not giving you celery sticks and calling it
a day we don’t call it granola crunchy you know
0:04:46.720,0:04:53.600
some people call like that we we call it really
restaurant quality food that makes you crave and
0:04:53.600,0:05:00.720
enjoy it but also when you’re done eating it we
consider that as food as fuel so yeah we want you
0:05:00.720,0:05:06.240
to feel energized from the food that you’re
eating and uh we’re choosing specific menus
0:05:06.240,0:05:11.120
designed to give you the maximum nutrition but
also to give you the most bold flavors and that’s
0:05:11.120,0:05:16.080
where chef cat really shines so does it need
to be a subtle change or for example i think
0:05:16.640,0:05:20.560
during the obama years where they change the
school lunches and that was like a bunch of kids
0:05:20.560,0:05:26.560
threw away peaches like that was what happened
but at the same time if you’re giving a similar
0:05:27.200,0:05:30.960
if it’s a similar food it’s just healthier
ingredients is that like a better segue or
0:05:30.960,0:05:37.360
yes i would completely agree our whole premise
is that we know people like eating comfort foods
0:05:37.360,0:05:42.080
you know there are people enjoy chocolate
smoothies like the banana smoothie you’re eating
0:05:42.080,0:05:47.600
but we just want to swap out different ingredients
like instead of adding um you know chocolate and
0:05:47.600,0:05:51.520
sugar and chocolate syrup and stuff like
that we’re going to add a dandelion blend
0:05:51.520,0:05:56.640
that gives a cocoa mocha flavor but you’re
gonna get all these nutritional values added
0:05:57.200,0:06:01.680
and not have all that extra sugar and it’s also
energizing like when i’ve had dandelion mochas
0:06:01.680,0:06:06.640
like i’m sure some of it’s a placebo effect where
it smells like coffee tastes like coffee oh i feel
0:06:06.640,0:06:12.080
the caffeine yeah but it is almost a different
kind of plant energy where you just feel your
0:06:12.080,0:06:16.640
cells working a little bit better exactly exactly
plus there’s that whole like pat yourself on the
0:06:16.640,0:06:20.960
back like right you did a really good job for
drinking that smoothie but is there a limit to
0:06:20.960,0:06:25.280
that too i know we’ve talked about this before
bridgette of where people get so intense into
0:06:25.280,0:06:31.360
their health yes that i think our last discussion
is because i just listened to it again yesterday
0:06:31.360,0:06:35.600
and we made the point of like that person at
the party who’s eating the kale chips that’s
0:06:35.600,0:06:41.920
what i was thinking all along like in the corner
by themselves eating those celery sticks and
0:06:41.920,0:06:45.280
they feel good and they’re proud of themselves
but like everyone around them is like i don’t
0:06:45.280,0:06:50.160
understand what’s happening here yeah yeah now
we want to give a good balance between the two
0:06:50.160,0:06:53.840
extremes because we don’t want you eating
processed foods all day long every day
0:06:53.840,0:06:59.440
because that’s your body’s going to turn into
a donut basically but we don’t want you sitting
0:06:59.440,0:07:04.080
in the corner by yourself eating a celery stick
and segregating yourself because they’re eating
0:07:04.080,0:07:10.080
processed foods so that’s where we like to bridge
the gap between health and food i was going to say
0:07:10.080,0:07:15.520
wealth but that’s wealth is it’s energy i think
it’s intertwined because when you feel good
0:07:15.520,0:07:22.480
you just have a stature about yourself you have
confidence and such and so um we have some things
0:07:22.480,0:07:28.080
that we’ve established in our business called
guiding wellness principles and those kind of just
0:07:28.080,0:07:35.520
bring us back to what what are we really after
here and one of our guiding wellness principles is
0:07:36.480,0:07:42.240
understanding what is the sad diet and we want
to lead you to glad okay so that’s why i said
0:07:42.240,0:07:47.280
health and wealth it’s all about rhyming a to z
you know we’re really trying to get and i’m like
0:07:47.280,0:07:51.280
with it here you know there you go we’ll just do
limericks like straight limericks for everything
0:07:52.000,0:07:59.120
so so anyways we um we really try and show people
you know we’re you’re above average you’re more
0:07:59.120,0:08:05.920
than standard so you should eat above standards
and the standard american diet for a long time has
0:08:05.920,0:08:15.120
given a disconstrued way of picking out what
are the best foods for your body and i like
0:08:15.120,0:08:21.360
to think that everybody’s body is different
and so we use the sad and then we go to glad
0:08:21.360,0:08:28.560
and the glad diet is really just about focusing
on good ample nutritious foods and we go through
0:08:28.560,0:08:32.960
that with all of our clients but i’d love
to invite them to visit our website perhaps
0:08:32.960,0:08:38.720
that would be a great way to get in touch with
us yeah it’s a2zlivingwell.com correct yes
0:08:47.120,0:08:50.960
from health to wealth what if they say well
what about my wealth like do i need to give
0:08:50.960,0:08:54.880
up all my wealth so i can eat healthy because
that’s obviously a concern a lot of people have
0:08:55.440,0:09:00.400
like i just can’t afford it gas prices are up
my broccoli costs too much so what do you say
0:09:02.480,0:09:07.840
well one of our most famous things that we used to
say is you’re going to spend it now on your food
0:09:07.840,0:09:12.640
or you’re going to spend it later in a hospital
bed oh so you’re saying that they can see me in
0:09:12.640,0:09:18.720
a little bit or they can visit you now right okay
yeah that makes sense i think there’s everybody’s
0:09:18.720,0:09:25.840
got a place okay so there are times that people
will need certain services health-wise but if you
0:09:25.840,0:09:32.800
could grab rain and control of your health from uh
even wherever you’re at we meet you where you’re
0:09:32.800,0:09:39.200
at to say hey are you drinking only soda every
single day well let’s start incorporating some
0:09:39.200,0:09:47.520
really good filtered water are you snacking after
midnight well how about you eat like the way that
0:09:48.080,0:09:53.440
you eat very heavy in the morning lighter at
lunch and then even lighter at dinner time so your
0:09:53.440,0:10:00.000
digestion track has a way to catch up some people
choose different ways to um do the intermittent
0:10:00.000,0:10:06.320
fasting and such so there’s various approaches
to health but it’s just starting one step in the
0:10:06.320,0:10:12.320
at a time and that’s the key is that we we don’t
expect everybody to change everything immediately
0:10:12.320,0:10:18.320
clear out their cupboards you know go go crazy
and only buy organic and non-gmo everything
0:10:18.320,0:10:24.400
now that’s that’s later in the future and you
know even if you if you even get there but
0:10:24.400,0:10:28.560
just like chef cat is saying you know let’s
start with the most basics what’s your main
0:10:29.120,0:10:35.040
source of water is it pop is that how you get your
water in can we switch that can you start drinking
0:10:35.600,0:10:41.440
more water and maybe one pop a week or something
like that and so chef cat mentioning the small
0:10:41.440,0:10:45.520
steps in the right direction are eventually you’re
going to stack on those small steps and you’re
0:10:45.520,0:10:51.040
going to have a big result and also to add to your
um you know discussion with the health and the
0:10:51.040,0:10:57.840
wealth you know chef cat in the episode previous
was mentioning about the um the abundance of our
0:10:57.840,0:11:03.440
land that we have we’re coming into the springtime
and the summer time and there’s farmers markets
0:11:03.440,0:11:08.240
there’s local farms driving around you
know in in wadsworth i know there’s some
0:11:08.240,0:11:14.880
farms around here you pick uh berries and fruits
and things like that so sometimes you’ll be able
0:11:14.880,0:11:19.040
to get them cheaper buy them in bulk right and
you’re also saying it’s not inevitable like
0:11:19.760,0:11:23.280
you don’t have to start on this journey then at
some point you’re going to be like what’s what’s
0:11:23.280,0:11:27.200
the name of those of those pumpkin seeds if they
don’t have individual names i’m not interested
0:11:27.200,0:11:34.080
yet if we listen to our bodies we can know okay
this is enough for now or this is because that’s
0:11:34.080,0:11:39.120
what i think is the most fascinating about diets
there’s so many ideas but you simply have to even
0:11:39.120,0:11:43.600
if something resonates with your brain your body
might say you know what this isn’t working for me
0:11:43.600,0:11:49.200
sorry and then you have to no matter how how
much you’re like this is a philosophy that i
0:11:49.200,0:11:53.600
really like that it really makes sense for my body
right if we pay attention to our bodies that’s
0:11:53.600,0:11:58.160
where we can tell like no this isn’t working for
me well you’re greek right it’s all greek to me
0:11:59.520,0:12:05.280
the greek word for diet is dieta and the true
meaning of that where it originally intended
0:12:05.280,0:12:12.080
was lifestyle and so that’s what we try and
really share about is how to take hold of your
0:12:12.080,0:12:19.200
lifestyle not just monday morning manchester
you know it’s it’s about uh understanding that
0:12:20.000,0:12:26.160
there’s a lot of days in the week seven maybe
some say and um i don’t know why i said that but
0:12:26.160,0:12:32.480
you know there’s people don’t like mondays yes
they don’t really count i can’t mondays but um
0:12:32.480,0:12:39.040
with every day that ends in y we’ll say it that
way there’s an opportunity to make a good choice
0:12:39.040,0:12:44.400
so it’s not you know it’s great when you get on
a program and you want to clean some things out
0:12:44.400,0:12:49.520
and you want to call nurse bridgette or hopefully
it’s before you get to nick but he’s a good segue
0:12:50.640,0:12:57.200
it’s about really living with intention every day
so if you want to have that special treat on that
0:12:57.200,0:13:05.440
one day there’s still three other meals mostly uh
to choose a better option as the day progresses so
0:13:05.440,0:13:11.680
the more you kind of attack not a diet is just so
regiment although there’s times and places for it
0:13:12.320,0:13:18.720
it’s really great to understand that diet means
lifestyle and how are you choosing to live one
0:13:18.720,0:13:23.520
bite at a time right no that makes sense because
greek italian cultures they are like let’s eat
0:13:23.520,0:13:27.600
a lot let’s eat together yeah someone will be
offended if you don’t eat all this food right and
0:13:27.600,0:13:32.400
so if you start cooking a bit more healthy then
you can kind of get into that without because i
0:13:32.400,0:13:36.720
know my parents they get confused because let’s
say i gained weight and they’re like don’t eat
0:13:36.720,0:13:40.400
that much but but our culture says you need to
eat a lot so it was just a really funny thing
0:13:40.400,0:13:45.760
to watch where they wanted us to eat all this
food but also not eat all this food yeah yeah
0:13:45.760,0:13:53.200
it’s that monitoring that daily balance i guess
right so no that makes a lot of sense for sure
0:13:53.200,0:13:59.600
and working through the confusion you know to also
understand that every second that you everything
0:13:59.600,0:14:04.560
that you put to your mouth you know smoothie it’s
good smoothie very good that’s a choice that i’m
0:14:04.560,0:14:10.160
making and i’m choosing to eat this right now
and i could choose you know on the earlier show
0:14:10.160,0:14:15.120
i could choose to drink this sugar water that
says cranberry juice on it or i could choose to
0:14:15.680,0:14:22.800
get my sweets from fruits you know so every single
uh meal that you have is a choice every drink that
0:14:22.800,0:14:29.200
you have is a choice and maybe you know you
make three not so great choices but then you
0:14:29.200,0:14:35.600
make three better choices so i mean are you where
you at in that and probably eating with intention
0:14:35.600,0:14:40.720
with mindfulness can start with a smoothie yeah
because a lot of times there’s plenty of research
0:14:40.720,0:14:46.640
that if you slow down when you eat when you really
pause and like the food itself is more nutritious
0:14:46.640,0:14:51.680
but you can’t go from eating mcdonald’s to like
well why don’t you bake yourself some shepherd’s
0:14:51.680,0:14:57.520
pie and really think about each bite so a smoothie
is a really good transition for those five minutes
0:14:57.520,0:15:01.520
you’ll have that okay i’m paying attention to
this and then slowly you can grow into more
0:15:01.520,0:15:07.760
right right right yes yes that’s you know
okay so i have a funny story now so um
0:15:08.640,0:15:14.960
it’s i i grew up on fast food i’m not gonna lie
that’s that’s pretty much all my parents fed me
0:15:14.960,0:15:19.440
uh they’re wonderful parents i love them very much
but that’s what they knew to feed me right and it
0:15:19.440,0:15:27.280
was quick and easy and so i remember going to um
a fast food place with my dad and he got his food
0:15:27.280,0:15:33.360
and we’re pulling out the parking lot and he’s
already got the wrapper ripped open and like the
0:15:33.360,0:15:40.000
it was it was a taco and the taco is gone within
like two minutes of getting it in the car and i
0:15:40.000,0:15:46.320
remember like looking at my dad like wow you
really ate that fast um why’d you eat that so
0:15:46.320,0:15:52.640
fast and he’s like well if i don’t eat it fast it
doesn’t taste good and that i mean i was a little
0:15:52.640,0:15:58.480
girl when he said that and that stuck with me like
why do we have to scarf down our food right for it
0:15:58.480,0:16:03.840
to taste good when we can sit here and savor
certain things and really enjoy each flavor
0:16:03.840,0:16:08.560
correct you know our tongue knows quality right
if you really give it a chance to think about what
0:16:08.560,0:16:12.480
it’s eating so then the mindfulness doesn’t work
if you’re eating something terrible because then
0:16:12.480,0:16:19.600
your brain’s like wait what are we doing yeah why
am i eating this nasty tasting thing i can eat a
0:16:19.600,0:16:24.160
lot so i know you guys were really nice with brand
names and all that but i won’t be so i went to
0:16:24.160,0:16:28.960
ihop because they had this great pancake all
you can eat special yeah and literally about
0:16:28.960,0:16:35.840
i don’t know 20 pancakes in or something my
body almost oddly was like we’re done here
0:16:38.320,0:16:41.600
i’ve got room for one more
pancake but it was almost an
0:16:41.600,0:16:46.480
audible voice of like no we’re done
you are done this is god’s peace
0:16:49.280,0:16:55.040
is that is that my cholesterol like what’s going
on here well it’s about balance right that’s super
0:16:55.040,0:17:01.440
brown yeah but it’s challenging too because a lot
of times like i i’m sharing with you bridget how i
0:17:01.440,0:17:06.400
did a study on all the ensure and those kind of
protein drinks and now even in surgeries we’ll
0:17:06.400,0:17:11.120
give them pre-operative patients and the patients
do great instead of going eight or twelve hours
0:17:11.120,0:17:15.520
without anything to eat or drink before surgery
they better wound healing they don’t need as much
0:17:15.520,0:17:20.880
pain medicine and some it doesn’t even make sense
but it it is well this is what the body uses for
0:17:20.880,0:17:25.680
fuel it’s food and if you don’t have it you’re
not going to heal as quickly right but then even
0:17:25.680,0:17:31.360
if you know modified corn proteins can do that for
us imagine if you actually spent the time to make
0:17:31.360,0:17:36.880
something like this yeah you give your body real
raw nutrition right and for some people that is
0:17:36.880,0:17:42.720
like a first step of okay let me have a nutrition
drink but then it’s that is one where you can’t
0:17:42.720,0:17:47.600
really stop there yeah what i said earlier about
i think people are more willing to start if they
0:17:47.600,0:17:52.160
realize okay there’s not some destination we’re
all saying like look i know that cauliflower
0:17:52.160,0:17:56.640
is on sale it’s a really good deal but i better
get the organic one instead yeah i think if you
0:17:56.640,0:18:02.000
have more flexibility yes one of our mentors
says health is a journey not a destination
0:18:02.000,0:18:07.920
and i think that’s important to keep in mind is
that you’re really it’s just a day-by-day thing
0:18:09.840,0:18:14.960
absolutely so if people want to reach you they can
go to your website correct and oh i did have one
0:18:14.960,0:18:20.080
question from the last episode you had mentioned
how you can freeze foods individually yes
0:18:20.080,0:18:24.000
everyone’s confused right now but this whole
all the show is is me trying to learn things
0:18:24.640,0:18:30.160
so do take like we’re really here for you it
really it’s it’s nick’s show which is really
0:18:30.160,0:18:34.800
embarrassing since i showed up late for the last
one but anyway so do you take like the blueberries
0:18:34.800,0:18:39.680
individually or like how individual are you
talking about this the blueberries individually
0:18:39.680,0:18:43.920
you put them on just like single layer just
a single layer that makes sense yes and then
0:18:43.920,0:18:48.640
once they’re frozen you can do whatever you want
then once they’re frozen they’ll just pop right
0:18:48.640,0:18:55.440
off and start putting them in bags i use a lot of
little parchment layers so i can you know it kind
0:18:55.440,0:19:01.840
of prevents them from clumping once they’re in the
freezer right so mm-hmm i have a youtube video i’m
0:19:01.840,0:19:05.440
gonna have to watch it because yeah unfortunately
i’m the opposite where sometimes i’m like well
0:19:05.440,0:19:09.840
i guess i should take this fork out of the
tupperware before i toss this in this yeah
0:19:12.320,0:19:18.960
and our youtube page definitely has some tips
that are just sometimes silly and fun that is
0:19:18.960,0:19:24.080
you know just cooking at home how you can
become faster how you can become more efficient
0:19:24.080,0:19:30.000
and have of course tasty food absolutely and then

our phone number is 330-754-4844
0:19:36.560,0:19:41.840
and we treat a lot of anxiety depression
we do some pain management on opioids and
0:19:41.840,0:19:46.560
really we’re good for a lot of those confusing
disorders where you’re not really sure what it is
0:19:46.560,0:19:51.600
migraines fibromyalgia even some long coveted sort
of issues because that’s a lot of what happens
0:19:51.600,0:19:56.880
when you aren’t eating the right foods your body
is unsure what messages to send yes you can’t even
0:19:56.880,0:20:00.640
tell what your symptoms are so we’ve we have
a lot of patients i’ve been to six seven eight
0:20:00.640,0:20:05.200
different specialists and they’ll tell me like oh
it’s all covered by insurance it’s like well it’s
0:20:05.200,0:20:09.200
partially covered it’s basically like a
really bad groupon is what’s happened here
0:20:10.880,0:20:15.040
that’s real funny and so but and so that’s
why it makes sense to find substitutes to
0:20:15.040,0:20:19.040
eat healthy because no matter what’s wrong with
you you know it’s gonna start getting better as
0:20:19.040,0:20:23.520
you eat yeah right even if it’s subtle and you
still need some other source of medical treatment
0:20:23.520,0:20:28.720
you know that you know sugar and simple
carbohydrates and the wrong kinds of fat are
0:20:28.720,0:20:34.720
not going to help you so well speaking of that i’m
sure you’ve seen non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
0:20:35.760,0:20:42.720
that is something really curious that’s becoming
more and more problematic right and non-alcoholic
0:20:42.720,0:20:48.800
fatty liver disease for those of us who may not
know is basically the liver is turning into fat
0:20:49.360,0:20:54.080
right it’s getting clogged up turning fat
typically we saw that with just alcohol use
0:20:54.640,0:20:57.760
but now we’re seeing it with the processed foods
0:20:58.320,0:21:03.440
and um you know that’s that’s something that we
have to be aware of that if we’re eating too much
0:21:03.440,0:21:08.400
sugar in general organs could be shutting down
because of what we’re eating right you know and
0:21:10.080,0:21:15.040
yes you’re going to help with things that we
don’t know what’s happening but also you know
0:21:15.040,0:21:19.600
every single food option that you’re eating is
fuel for that body that you’re feeding you know
0:21:19.600,0:21:24.000
absolutely food is medicine and you’re right
because i work in a lot of gi places and it’s
0:21:24.000,0:21:28.560
almost an epidemic at this point yeah where
it’s simply like because it used to be when
0:21:28.560,0:21:32.720
people in holistic medicine used to talk about
detoxifying and we got to support your liver
0:21:32.720,0:21:37.040
that the usual medical response was like this
is ridiculous your liver takes care of all this
0:21:37.040,0:21:41.200
but that’s a case where your liver is like no
actually i can’t yeah it’s getting overburdened
0:21:41.200,0:21:45.040
right and i remember the first time seeing
non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in the
0:21:45.040,0:21:53.520
clinical practice and it was a 30 year old
man he was a police officer and i was like
0:21:53.520,0:21:57.120
are you sure you’re not drinking like are you sure
there’s something that you’re not telling me about
0:21:57.120,0:22:02.320
i did the same thing like like i didn’t believe it
like yeah like he’s just like and he he’s like no
0:22:02.320,0:22:07.520
i swear i don’t drink alcohol and i’m like okay
i can really think about this here because i’m
0:22:07.520,0:22:13.360
seeing an alcoholic liver but as we’re finding out
it is more problematic and people really do have
0:22:13.360,0:22:18.880
to pay attention to what they’re eating absolutely
and starting with a smoothie is good good option
0:22:18.880,0:22:22.160
well i think this is a good time to end the
show because i’m almost done with my smoothie
0:22:22.160,0:22:25.840
i’ve been drinking it i better say this whole
time just so i won’t get it taken away from it
0:22:27.680,0:22:32.400
