So he stabs,
I step in in the same way.

32
00:01:56,383 --> 00:01:59,518
Now my hand slides down.
And where are we at?

33
00:01:59,954 --> 00:02:01,253
<i>I've been teaching
fighting techniques</i>

34
00:02:01,255 --> 00:02:03,889
<i>To government agencies
for more than 15 years.</i>

35
00:02:04,191 --> 00:02:06,859
<i>Including the U.S. Marines,
U.S. Marshals,</i>

36
00:02:06,861 --> 00:02:09,328
<i>U.S. Swat teams,
and U.S. Navy seals.</i>

37
00:02:09,530 --> 00:02:12,030
He's gonna stab me.
I go here and then I go here.

38
00:02:12,032 --> 00:02:13,298
And then I could go here,
or here.

39
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:14,700
<i>Nearly, all the techniques
I teach</i>

40
00:02:14,702 --> 00:02:17,269
<i>Are banned in the sport
of mixed martial arts.</i>

41
00:02:17,872 --> 00:02:19,138
I can control the direction

42
00:02:19,140 --> 00:02:20,405
Of the muzzle.
You guys see that?

43
00:02:20,407 --> 00:02:22,174
<i>These are some
of the most effective</i>

44
00:02:22,176 --> 00:02:23,742
<i>And damaging moves
you could use</i>

45
00:02:23,744 --> 00:02:26,745
<i>In a real life situation.
Be it in self-defense...</i>

46
00:02:26,747 --> 00:02:27,846
If I'm here.

47
00:02:28,582 --> 00:02:29,915
<i>- ...On the street...</i>
- I twist you round

48
00:02:29,917 --> 00:02:30,916
And I, then I knee.

49
00:02:30,918 --> 00:02:31,984
<i>...Or in war.</i>

50
00:02:31,986 --> 00:02:33,085
Straight into the trachea.

51
00:02:33,721 --> 00:02:35,988
Now you're gonna knee.
Step back and then rip.

52
00:02:36,357 --> 00:02:38,524
And the gun comes out.
Good.

53
00:02:38,526 --> 00:02:41,126
<i>This is life or death
for these guys.</i>

54
00:02:41,428 --> 00:02:43,729
<i>And I'm honored
to share this knowledge.</i>

55
00:02:44,431 --> 00:02:46,832
<i>let's see your muscles,
James. Let's see your muscles.</i>

56
00:02:48,235 --> 00:02:50,235
<i>- oh, yes!
- go on, do it again.</i>

57
00:02:50,237 --> 00:02:52,471
<i>- And again! That's right.</i>

58
00:02:52,907 --> 00:02:55,207
<i>that's it. Power.</i>

59
00:02:55,209 --> 00:02:58,610
James,
he was a very lively child.

60
00:02:59,046 --> 00:03:01,747
Quite hard to control.

61
00:03:01,982 --> 00:03:03,215
<i>James!</i>

62
00:03:03,417 --> 00:03:05,584
his teacher said to us,

63
00:03:05,586 --> 00:03:08,220
I'm finding it difficult to cope
with him

64
00:03:08,222 --> 00:03:11,523
Because he is so, um,
not aggressive,

65
00:03:11,525 --> 00:03:12,891
He is so...

66
00:03:12,893 --> 00:03:14,860
- Lively, really.
- ...Lively. Yes.

67
00:03:14,862 --> 00:03:16,795
I think that's probably
the better word.

68
00:03:16,964 --> 00:03:20,966
So I took him to one
of the training sessions

69
00:03:20,968 --> 00:03:22,267
Of kyokushinkai,

70
00:03:22,536 --> 00:03:24,670
Which is a very hard style
of karate.

71
00:03:24,672 --> 00:03:27,172
It's a bit more controlled
and structured.

72
00:03:27,675 --> 00:03:28,974
It calmed him down.

73
00:03:29,577 --> 00:03:33,145
From then on,
he took the karate to heart.

74
00:03:33,981 --> 00:03:36,615
Bruce lee was his hero
as a child.

75
00:03:36,617 --> 00:03:39,351
And he had big posters
in his bedroom.

76
00:03:40,421 --> 00:03:41,620
<i>Like a lot of boys,</i>

77
00:03:41,622 --> 00:03:43,755
<i>I dreamed about becoming
a kung fu master</i>

78
00:03:43,757 --> 00:03:46,158
<i>Who could fight off bad guys
in any situation.</i>

79
00:03:50,431 --> 00:03:52,164
<i>but when I was a teenager,</i>

80
00:03:52,165 --> 00:03:53,898
<i>I got attacked on the street
and beaten up,</i>

81
00:03:54,034 --> 00:03:55,734
<i>Coming face to face
with the reality</i>

82
00:03:55,736 --> 00:03:58,237
<i>That all those choreographed
karate routines</i>

83
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:01,673
<i>I'd spent years practicing,
were completely useless.</i>

84
00:04:02,476 --> 00:04:04,376
<i>Then I found out
that the same thing</i>

85
00:04:04,378 --> 00:04:06,712
<i>Happened to Bruce lee
when he was my age,</i>

86
00:04:06,714 --> 00:04:10,616
<i>Launching him on a quest,
the search for truth in combat.</i>

87
00:04:11,852 --> 00:04:14,419
<i>Lee went on to study
a wide range of martial arts,</i>

88
00:04:14,421 --> 00:04:16,922
<i>Taking only the best parts
of each discipline.</i>

89
00:04:17,391 --> 00:04:19,191
<i>His philosophy was simple.</i>

90
00:04:19,827 --> 00:04:21,426
<i>Research your own experience,</i>

91
00:04:21,629 --> 00:04:25,330
<i>Absorb what is useful,
reject what is useless,</i>

92
00:04:25,499 --> 00:04:27,833
<i>Add what is
specifically your own.</i>

93
00:04:30,371 --> 00:04:31,670
<i>armed with this philosophy,</i>

94
00:04:31,672 --> 00:04:34,006
<i>I vowed to follow
in lee's footsteps.</i>

95
00:04:34,541 --> 00:04:36,942
<i>Fifteen years
and five black belts later,</i>

96
00:04:37,478 --> 00:04:40,879
<i>I was given the opportunity
to put my training to the test.</i>

97
00:04:42,182 --> 00:04:43,715
- oh, good combination by Wilks!
- -good combination!

98
00:04:43,716 --> 00:04:45,249
Johnson trying
to fight back though!

99
00:04:45,252 --> 00:04:46,918
Nice knees by Wilks!

100
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,121
- Johnson is in trouble early.
- -Wilks is attacking.

101
00:04:49,390 --> 00:04:51,623
One hook in
and he's got the choke.

102
00:04:51,992 --> 00:04:53,625
He's got one arm across.

103
00:04:53,627 --> 00:04:55,027
- The hand!
- he's up and around now.

104
00:04:55,029 --> 00:04:56,628
- He's gonna tap!
- It's all over!

105
00:04:56,630 --> 00:04:58,697
- It's unbelievable.
- James Wilks

106
00:04:58,966 --> 00:05:00,432
Is the ultimate fighter.

107
00:05:00,434 --> 00:05:02,467
With seconds to go!

108
00:05:03,337 --> 00:05:06,738
Outstanding performance
by James Wilks!

109
00:05:07,241 --> 00:05:10,909
James Wilks
from Leicester, England

110
00:05:11,078 --> 00:05:13,345
Is the ultimate fighter.

111
00:05:17,017 --> 00:05:18,850
<i>Then, I got injured.</i>

112
00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:22,287
<i>I was sparring with a future
heavyweight champion</i>

113
00:05:22,289 --> 00:05:24,589
<i>And tore ligaments
in both of my knees.</i>

114
00:05:25,492 --> 00:05:28,327
<i>Unable to teach or train
for at least six months,</i>

115
00:05:28,329 --> 00:05:29,828
<i>I spent more
than a thousand hours</i>

116
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:32,764
<i>Studying peer reviewed science
on recovery and nutrition.</i>

117
00:05:33,267 --> 00:05:35,267
<i>Looking for any advantage
I could find</i>

118
00:05:35,269 --> 00:05:37,869
<i>To get back on track
as quickly as possible.</i>

119
00:05:38,472 --> 00:05:39,971
<i>That's when I stumbled across
a study</i>

120
00:05:39,973 --> 00:05:41,773
<i>About the roman gladiators.</i>

121
00:05:44,945 --> 00:05:46,211
the gladiator graveyard

122
00:05:46,213 --> 00:05:47,779
From Ephesus is the only one

123
00:05:47,781 --> 00:05:51,383
With a significant number
of individuals buried there.

124
00:05:52,086 --> 00:05:53,485
Archaeologists recovered

125
00:05:53,487 --> 00:05:57,456
The remains
of at least 68 gladiators.

126
00:05:58,092 --> 00:06:00,726
There have been
more than 5,000 bones

127
00:06:00,728 --> 00:06:01,960
Analyzed for the study.

128
00:06:02,596 --> 00:06:05,163
We found in the cross section
of the bone,

129
00:06:05,165 --> 00:06:07,599
Very high bone mineral density,

130
00:06:07,801 --> 00:06:12,337
Which indicated intense training
and high quality diet

131
00:06:12,339 --> 00:06:15,774
To build up strong muscles
and strong bones.

132
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:19,611
This diet gave the gladiators
a nickname, hordearii,

133
00:06:19,613 --> 00:06:22,481
Which means beans
and barley muncher.

134
00:06:23,484 --> 00:06:26,818
We know different food sources
give different amounts

135
00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:28,286
Of strontium in the bones.

136
00:06:28,489 --> 00:06:31,189
High strontium levels
in vegetarians.

137
00:06:31,191 --> 00:06:33,925
Low strontium levels
in carnivores.

138
00:06:34,161 --> 00:06:36,495
If there is low strontium
in the sample

139
00:06:36,497 --> 00:06:38,296
The flame will stay blue.

140
00:06:38,298 --> 00:06:40,232
If there is high strontium
levels,

141
00:06:40,234 --> 00:06:42,401
It will change from blue to red.

142
00:06:44,204 --> 00:06:47,406
The gladiators
were predominantly vegetarian.

143
00:06:49,309 --> 00:06:51,076
<i>This totally blew
my mind.</i>

144
00:06:51,545 --> 00:06:53,612
<i>The gladiators
were highly prized fighters</i>

145
00:06:53,614 --> 00:06:54,913
<i>Who got
the most advanced training</i>

146
00:06:54,915 --> 00:06:57,315
<i>And medical care
in the roman empire.</i>

147
00:06:58,318 --> 00:07:00,886
<i>To think that the original
professional fighters</i>

148
00:07:00,888 --> 00:07:03,155
<i>Ate mainly plants went
against everything</i>

149
00:07:03,157 --> 00:07:04,956
<i>I'd been taught about nutrition.</i>

150
00:07:05,292 --> 00:07:06,758
<i>and now,
ladies and gentlemen,</i>

151
00:07:06,994 --> 00:07:09,494
<i>The one and only, superman.</i>

152
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,600
<i>James,
does superman eat meat?</i>

153
00:07:15,836 --> 00:07:17,169
<i>- Yes.
- He does?</i>

154
00:07:17,404 --> 00:07:18,470
<i>- Yeah.
- Oh.</i>

155
00:07:18,472 --> 00:07:20,389
<i>Could you tell us
what sort of foods you eat</i>

156
00:07:20,390 --> 00:07:22,307
<i>At teatime when you come home?</i>

157
00:07:22,309 --> 00:07:25,577
<i>Nearly the same as dinner
but egg and...</i>

158
00:07:26,013 --> 00:07:27,212
<i>Lamb chop.</i>

159
00:07:27,581 --> 00:07:29,147
<i>Do you think
all the other children</i>

160
00:07:29,149 --> 00:07:30,916
<i>Should eat those sort of foods?</i>

161
00:07:30,918 --> 00:07:32,484
<i>Yes!</i>

162
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,051
<i>- In order to get strong.
- Hmm.</i>

163
00:07:36,623 --> 00:07:38,490
"the notorious" Conor McGregor.

164
00:07:38,492 --> 00:07:39,791
<i>Even in the UFC,</i>

165
00:07:39,793 --> 00:07:42,093
<i>This idea,
that meat makes you tough</i>

166
00:07:42,095 --> 00:07:43,395
<i>Had become a focal point</i>

167
00:07:43,397 --> 00:07:44,963
<i>For one
of the most anticipated fights</i>

168
00:07:44,965 --> 00:07:48,099
<i>In the history of the sport
between Conor McGregor,</i>

169
00:07:48,101 --> 00:07:50,969
<i>The world champion
in two different weight classes</i>

170
00:07:51,305 --> 00:07:53,322
<i>And Nate Diaz,</i>

171
00:07:53,323 --> 00:07:55,340
<i>Who accepted the fight
with only 11 days' notice,</i>

172
00:07:55,342 --> 00:07:58,076
<i>After McGregor's
original opponent pulled out.</i>

173
00:07:58,645 --> 00:08:00,745
<i>McGregor was a big meat eater.</i>

174
00:08:00,747 --> 00:08:03,381
It's steaks every day
for me. Steaks for breakfast,

175
00:08:03,851 --> 00:08:06,051
Steaks for lunch,
steaks for brunch.

176
00:08:06,553 --> 00:08:10,388
Grass fed, massaged beef,
all day long.

177
00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:12,524
<i>Diaz was on a plant based diet.</i>

178
00:08:12,526 --> 00:08:15,560
eat your vegetables.

179
00:08:15,829 --> 00:08:17,863
<i>And McGregor
had a field day with it.</i>

180
00:08:17,865 --> 00:08:20,065
This man, let's see, let's see,
can he fight.

181
00:08:20,067 --> 00:08:21,633
I'm a lion in there.

182
00:08:21,634 --> 00:08:23,200
Your little gazelle friends
are gonna be staring

183
00:08:23,203 --> 00:08:24,503
Through the cage
looking at your carcass

184
00:08:24,505 --> 00:08:26,505
Getting eaten alive.

185
00:08:26,507 --> 00:08:28,406
<i>McGregor was just
feeding off a stereotype</i>

186
00:08:28,408 --> 00:08:30,141
<i>That was pretty much universal.</i>

187
00:08:32,312 --> 00:08:33,812
You hit like a vegetarian.

188
00:08:36,683 --> 00:08:37,983
<i>I was curious
to find out</i>

189
00:08:37,985 --> 00:08:40,085
<i>If there were any
other elite athletes following</i>

190
00:08:40,087 --> 00:08:41,152
<i>A plant-based diet.</i>

191
00:08:41,455 --> 00:08:43,688
<i>The first I found
was Scott Jurek,</i>

192
00:08:43,857 --> 00:08:46,391
<i>One of the greatest
ultra-runners of all time.</i>

193
00:08:47,861 --> 00:08:50,529
<i>Scott built his career
running extreme distances</i>

194
00:08:50,531 --> 00:08:51,830
<i>Over brutal terrain,</i>

195
00:08:51,832 --> 00:08:54,299
<i>Conquering the sport's
most prestigious races,</i>

196
00:08:54,701 --> 00:08:56,801
<i>Including
the badwater ultra-marathon,</i>

197
00:08:56,970 --> 00:08:59,838
<i>A 135 miles through California's
Death Valley,</i>

198
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,008
<i>With temperatures reaching
a 130 degrees.</i>

199
00:09:04,811 --> 00:09:06,478
I was training
for the western states

200
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:07,879
One hundred mile race

201
00:09:07,881 --> 00:09:10,115
The super bowl
of ultra marathon racing.

202
00:09:10,417 --> 00:09:11,516
And that's
when I was transitioning

203
00:09:11,518 --> 00:09:13,018
To a plant-based diet.

204
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,853
I remember doubting myself,

205
00:09:14,855 --> 00:09:16,555
Even up to a week
before the race, like,

206
00:09:16,557 --> 00:09:18,189
"maybe I should have
eaten meat."

207
00:09:18,325 --> 00:09:20,358
But I led that race from start
to finish,

208
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,327
And won it for seven years
in a row,

209
00:09:22,696 --> 00:09:24,029
And there was no question

210
00:09:24,031 --> 00:09:26,831
That the plant-based diet
was fueling my victories.

211
00:09:27,601 --> 00:09:29,601
<i>When I met Scott,
he was gearing up</i>

212
00:09:29,603 --> 00:09:31,570
<i>For the greatest challenge
of his career.</i>

213
00:09:31,572 --> 00:09:33,071
- ...Inviting me over.
- When I'm moving,

214
00:09:33,073 --> 00:09:34,039
I'm definitely gonna be eating.

215
00:09:34,041 --> 00:09:36,808
<i>Having already mastered
single-day endurance events,</i>

216
00:09:36,810 --> 00:09:39,711
<i>Scott was now trying to become
the fastest person ever</i>

217
00:09:39,713 --> 00:09:42,213
<i>To run
the entire Appalachian trail</i>

218
00:09:42,215 --> 00:09:45,016
<i>A distance of 2200 miles.</i>

219
00:09:45,652 --> 00:09:47,352
my goal
is to break the record.

220
00:09:47,354 --> 00:09:49,454
Forty-six days, 11 hours.

221
00:09:49,456 --> 00:09:51,523
Let's go to Maine.

222
00:09:52,693 --> 00:09:55,393
Two marathons a day
over technical terrain.

223
00:09:55,596 --> 00:09:57,829
Average of 11,000 feet
of climbing,

224
00:09:57,831 --> 00:10:00,332
And 11,000 feet
of descent every day,

225
00:10:00,334 --> 00:10:01,866
Back to back to back to back,

226
00:10:02,169 --> 00:10:05,403
It's completely beyond anything
I've done before.

227
00:10:05,739 --> 00:10:07,772
<i>As Scott hit the trail,</i>

228
00:10:07,774 --> 00:10:09,908
<i>I was confused
about how his meat-free diet</i>

229
00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:12,010
<i>Could possibly give him
enough energy.</i>

230
00:10:13,146 --> 00:10:15,880
<i>so I reached out
to Dr. James Loomis,</i>

231
00:10:15,882 --> 00:10:19,117
<i>A team physician who was part
of two championships,</i>

232
00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:22,087
<i>A world series and a super bowl.</i>

233
00:10:22,089 --> 00:10:24,155
What I found
in the locker room was...

234
00:10:24,558 --> 00:10:27,959
Some pretty outdated ideas
about nutrition.

235
00:10:27,961 --> 00:10:31,229
You would go
to a pre-game dinner

236
00:10:31,231 --> 00:10:34,232
With the football team
and you would see this spread.

237
00:10:34,234 --> 00:10:36,701
There would be steak
and chicken.

238
00:10:36,703 --> 00:10:40,438
Very much protein oriented
because their perception was

239
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,807
That the protein
is what sustains their energy.

240
00:10:42,809 --> 00:10:44,342
But, in fact,
that's not the case.

241
00:10:44,478 --> 00:10:48,179
The actual energy for exercise
comes mainly from carbohydrates

242
00:10:48,181 --> 00:10:50,715
In the form of glycogen
that we store in our muscles.

243
00:10:50,717 --> 00:10:53,451
And when we sacrifice
those carbohydrate calories

244
00:10:53,453 --> 00:10:55,120
For protein calories
in our diet,

245
00:10:55,122 --> 00:10:57,255
What ends up happening is,
you will develop

246
00:10:57,257 --> 00:11:00,725
Really chronic carbohydrate
or glycogen depletion.

247
00:11:00,727 --> 00:11:02,027
And what does that lead to?
Well,

248
00:11:02,029 --> 00:11:04,362
It leads to chronic fatigue
and loss of stamina.

249
00:11:04,831 --> 00:11:06,498
<i>I wanted to know
how this whole</i>

250
00:11:06,633 --> 00:11:09,167
<i>"meat gives you energy" thing
got started,</i>

251
00:11:09,503 --> 00:11:11,569
<i>And traced it back
to the 1800s,</i>

252
00:11:11,571 --> 00:11:14,005
<i>When a famous German chemist
hypothesized</i>

253
00:11:14,007 --> 00:11:16,941
<i>That muscular energy came
from animal protein,</i>

254
00:11:17,577 --> 00:11:19,577
<i>And that vegetarians
were incapable</i>

255
00:11:19,579 --> 00:11:21,112
<i>Of prolonged exercise.</i>

256
00:11:21,581 --> 00:11:24,149
<i>Liebig's beliefs
were so widely accepted</i>

257
00:11:24,151 --> 00:11:25,934
<i>That they even inspired</i>

258
00:11:25,935 --> 00:11:27,718
<i>The USDA's
first protein recommendations.</i>

259
00:11:28,088 --> 00:11:30,555
<i>By the time science proved
his theory false</i>

260
00:11:30,557 --> 00:11:32,457
<i>With the discovery
that hard-working muscles</i>

261
00:11:32,459 --> 00:11:34,125
<i>Run primarily
on the carbohydrates</i>

262
00:11:34,127 --> 00:11:36,294
<i>Found in plants,
it was too late.</i>

263
00:11:37,297 --> 00:11:38,663
<i>People all around the world</i>

264
00:11:38,665 --> 00:11:40,398
<i>Had already bought
into liebig's ideas</i>

265
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,067
<i>About meat and energy.</i>

266
00:11:43,303 --> 00:11:45,303
<i>But not everyone was convinced.</i>

267
00:11:46,106 --> 00:11:47,539
<i>As early as 1908,</i>

268
00:11:47,674 --> 00:11:49,441
<i>Plant-based athletes
were starting to claim</i>

269
00:11:49,443 --> 00:11:51,242
<i>Their first Olympic golds.</i>

270
00:11:52,112 --> 00:11:54,679
<i>are you still sticking
to your vegetarian diet, Murray?</i>

271
00:11:54,681 --> 00:11:55,880
<i>Very rigidly, yes.</i>

272
00:11:55,882 --> 00:11:57,382
<i>and do you find
that's of benefit</i>

273
00:11:57,383 --> 00:11:59,303
<i>- To you, do you?
- Greatly, or I wouldn't do it.</i>

274
00:12:00,387 --> 00:12:03,722
Edwin Moses
winning the gold medal!

275
00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:05,356
Lewis gets it!

276
00:12:05,358 --> 00:12:07,659
And it's a new world record
as well!

277
00:12:07,861 --> 00:12:10,128
I changed my diet
to a vegan diet and I set

278
00:12:10,130 --> 00:12:12,097
All of my personal bests
at 30 years old.

279
00:12:12,099 --> 00:12:13,798
<i>The oldest man, ever,</i>

280
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,700
<i>To win a world
or Olympic men's final.</i>

281
00:12:15,702 --> 00:12:17,635
<i>and there
were current Olympians, too.</i>

282
00:12:17,637 --> 00:12:19,204
<i>Morgan Mitchell</i>

283
00:12:19,206 --> 00:12:22,006
<i>Is the two-time
Australian 400 meter champion.</i>

284
00:12:22,008 --> 00:12:23,508
<i>here comes Morgan Mitchell.</i>

285
00:12:23,510 --> 00:12:25,610
<i>This is very, very fast.</i>

286
00:12:25,612 --> 00:12:27,412
It's tough, the 400,
I won't lie.

287
00:12:27,414 --> 00:12:29,981
- The first 200
is pure speed

288
00:12:30,283 --> 00:12:31,933
And then the last 200,

289
00:12:31,934 --> 00:12:33,584
It shows who's got
that speed endurance training

290
00:12:33,587 --> 00:12:35,420
In their legs.
And obviously the last 50,

291
00:12:35,422 --> 00:12:38,623
You've just gotta pray
because lactic is hitting hard.

292
00:12:38,792 --> 00:12:40,925
You need to be able to hold
that endurance.

293
00:12:41,194 --> 00:12:43,261
<i>She also represented Australia</i>

294
00:12:43,263 --> 00:12:45,730
<i>At the 2016 summer Olympics.</i>

295
00:12:45,966 --> 00:12:47,432
a lot of people
had doubted me

296
00:12:47,434 --> 00:12:49,067
When I first became vegan,

297
00:12:49,069 --> 00:12:52,337
But my energy levels increased
incredibly

298
00:12:52,339 --> 00:12:53,805
And my iron, my b12,

299
00:12:53,807 --> 00:12:56,040
Everything that people said
would become deficient,

300
00:12:56,042 --> 00:12:57,208
Were amazing.

301
00:12:57,611 --> 00:12:59,043
I thought, I'm gonna make sure

302
00:12:59,045 --> 00:13:00,545
I'm beating them all
on the track.

303
00:13:00,547 --> 00:13:02,981
I mean, we're all friends,
but it was pretty cool to finish

304
00:13:02,983 --> 00:13:05,083
My Australian domestic season
undefeated.

305
00:13:05,085 --> 00:13:06,918
And to win the nationals
was obviously

306
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,219
That little cherry on top.

307
00:13:08,221 --> 00:13:11,022
Morgan Mitchell
is tearing away from the field.

308
00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:14,626
<i>There was also Dotsie Bausch,</i>

309
00:13:14,628 --> 00:13:17,228
<i>An eight time
USA national cycling champion,</i>

310
00:13:17,230 --> 00:13:19,931
<i>And two time
pan-American gold medalist.</i>

311
00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:21,699
my event
in track cycling

312
00:13:21,701 --> 00:13:25,603
Requires a massive amount
of explosive power.

313
00:13:25,806 --> 00:13:27,472
- Go. Let's go, ladies.
Go! Go!
- go!

314
00:13:27,474 --> 00:13:28,940
First of all,
we have got to get off the line

315
00:13:28,942 --> 00:13:31,843
And we're starting
from a dead start with one gear.

316
00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:34,379
We have to be able to move
that mass,

317
00:13:34,381 --> 00:13:37,115
That weight off the line
and get it up to speed

318
00:13:37,117 --> 00:13:39,984
Within three quarters
of the length of the track.

319
00:13:42,923 --> 00:13:47,125
My training regimen
involves six days a week,

320
00:13:47,127 --> 00:13:49,244
Climbing mountains

321
00:13:49,245 --> 00:13:51,362
Up and down for at least four
and five hours a day.

322
00:13:51,832 --> 00:13:53,832
Hard track sessions,

323
00:13:54,334 --> 00:13:55,934
And then big gym sessions.

324
00:13:56,536 --> 00:13:59,370
I grew up in Kentucky
so that's the land of casseroles

325
00:13:59,372 --> 00:14:01,372
And barbecue and meat.

326
00:14:01,374 --> 00:14:05,743
So when I transitioned over
to an entirely plant-based diet,

327
00:14:05,745 --> 00:14:08,847
I wasn't sure
if I was gonna survive.

328
00:14:09,082 --> 00:14:11,783
And I actually
became like a machine.

329
00:14:12,118 --> 00:14:15,987
I got up from being able to move
about 300 pounds

330
00:14:15,989 --> 00:14:17,689
On the inverted leg sled,

331
00:14:17,858 --> 00:14:22,927
To moving 585 pounds,
60 reps times five sets.

332
00:14:23,697 --> 00:14:25,196
<i>To move
that kind of weight,</i>

333
00:14:25,198 --> 00:14:28,766
<i>You need more than just energy,
you also need strength.</i>

334
00:14:28,768 --> 00:14:30,802
<i>In other words, protein.</i>

335
00:14:31,137 --> 00:14:32,837
<i>I just couldn't believe
that Dotsie,</i>

336
00:14:32,839 --> 00:14:35,573
<i>Or anyone for that matter,
could get enough protein</i>

337
00:14:35,575 --> 00:14:37,242
<i>Eating only plants.</i>

338
00:14:37,777 --> 00:14:39,444
I think one
of the biggest misconceptions

339
00:14:39,446 --> 00:14:40,745
In sports nutrition

340
00:14:40,747 --> 00:14:43,014
Is that we have
to have animal protein,

341
00:14:43,016 --> 00:14:45,216
In a particular meat,
to get big and strong

342
00:14:45,218 --> 00:14:48,186
And perform at a high level.
That's just clearly not true.

343
00:14:48,688 --> 00:14:50,755
All that protein that you get

344
00:14:50,757 --> 00:14:52,857
When you eat a steak
or a hamburger,

345
00:14:52,859 --> 00:14:54,559
Where did it come from? It came

346
00:14:54,561 --> 00:14:56,294
From the plants
that the cow ate.

347
00:14:56,563 --> 00:14:57,862
<i>I was surprised to learn</i>

348
00:14:57,864 --> 00:15:00,431
<i>That all protein originates
in plants.</i>

349
00:15:00,734 --> 00:15:03,635
<i>Cows, pigs
and chickens it turns out,</i>

350
00:15:03,637 --> 00:15:04,769
<i>Are just the middlemen.</i>

351
00:15:04,771 --> 00:15:08,172
<i>In fact, the largest study
to compare the nutrient intake</i>

352
00:15:08,174 --> 00:15:10,174
<i>Of meat eaters
with plant eaters,</i>

353
00:15:10,176 --> 00:15:11,976
<i>Showed
that the average plant-eater</i>

354
00:15:11,978 --> 00:15:13,778
<i>Not only gets enough protein,</i>

355
00:15:13,780 --> 00:15:16,281
<i>But 70 percent more
than they need.</i>

356
00:15:16,516 --> 00:15:18,149
<i>Even meat-eaters like me</i>

357
00:15:18,151 --> 00:15:20,518
<i>Get roughly half
of their protein from plants.</i>

358
00:15:21,221 --> 00:15:24,422
<i>But athletes need more protein
than most people do.</i>

359
00:15:24,791 --> 00:15:26,324
<i>So I crunched the numbers
from the study</i>

360
00:15:26,326 --> 00:15:28,860
<i>And realized that based
on the amount of calories</i>

361
00:15:28,862 --> 00:15:30,395
<i>I was eating
I'd still be getting</i>

362
00:15:30,397 --> 00:15:33,464
<i>More than enough protein
to build and maintain muscle.</i>

363
00:15:34,067 --> 00:15:36,734
<i>For example,
one cup of cooked lentils</i>

364
00:15:36,736 --> 00:15:37,902
<i>Or a peanut butter sandwich</i>

365
00:15:37,904 --> 00:15:40,772
<i>Has about as much protein
as three ounces of beef</i>

366
00:15:40,774 --> 00:15:42,273
<i>Or three large eggs.</i>

367
00:15:42,976 --> 00:15:46,010
<i>But what about the quality
of the protein? I'd always heard</i>

368
00:15:46,012 --> 00:15:48,246
<i>That plant-based protein
was inferior.</i>

369
00:15:48,682 --> 00:15:50,581
Proteins are strings
of amino acids

370
00:15:50,583 --> 00:15:53,117
And there's some amino acids
our bodies can't make.

371
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,253
Those are the essential
amino acids,

372
00:15:55,255 --> 00:15:57,655
So we have to get them
from food.

373
00:15:57,857 --> 00:16:00,124
And one of the arguments
about animal based proteins

374
00:16:00,126 --> 00:16:02,226
Being superior
is that plant based proteins

375
00:16:02,228 --> 00:16:05,496
Aren't complete, so you're not
gonna get all the amino acids.

376
00:16:05,498 --> 00:16:07,432
And that's a fallacy as well.

377
00:16:07,934 --> 00:16:09,567
<i>Again, I was surprised
to discover</i>

378
00:16:09,569 --> 00:16:13,171
<i>That every single plant contains
all the essential amino acids</i>

379
00:16:13,173 --> 00:16:14,472
<i>In varying proportions.</i>

380
00:16:14,474 --> 00:16:16,407
<i>And when it comes
to gaining strength</i>

381
00:16:16,409 --> 00:16:17,275
<i>And muscle mass,</i>

382
00:16:17,277 --> 00:16:19,944
<i>Research comparing plant
and animal protein</i>

383
00:16:19,946 --> 00:16:21,479
<i>Has shown that as long
as the proper amount</i>

384
00:16:21,481 --> 00:16:25,049
<i>Of amino acids are consumed,
the source is irrelevant.</i>

385
00:16:25,819 --> 00:16:27,452
<i>This all sounded great
in theory,</i>

386
00:16:27,587 --> 00:16:31,089
<i>But all the athletes
I'd met so far were pretty lean.</i>

387
00:16:31,358 --> 00:16:33,558
<i>If getting lots of protein
without animal foods</i>

388
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,128
<i>Really wasn't an issue,
where were all the big guys?</i>

389
00:16:44,971 --> 00:16:47,372
<i>Kendrick Farris
was the only male weightlifter</i>

390
00:16:47,374 --> 00:16:50,108
<i>To represent the united states
at the 2012</i>

391
00:16:50,110 --> 00:16:52,744
<i>And 2016 Olympic games.</i>

392
00:16:53,213 --> 00:16:54,946
Olympic style
weightlifting is going

393
00:16:54,948 --> 00:16:56,247
From the ground to overhead

394
00:16:56,249 --> 00:16:58,016
In one
or two explosive movements.

395
00:16:58,018 --> 00:17:00,618
The most explosive movements
that can be done.

396
00:17:06,292 --> 00:17:08,359
When I made the switch
to a plant based diet,

397
00:17:08,361 --> 00:17:09,527
People, they were like,
"I don't know

398
00:17:09,529 --> 00:17:11,029
How you're gonna lift
that much weight."

399
00:17:11,031 --> 00:17:12,630
And, "you're not gonna be
eating anything",

400
00:17:12,632 --> 00:17:15,333
You're just gonna eat grass.
Like, how you gonna be strong?"

401
00:17:15,735 --> 00:17:17,568
I qualified
for my third Olympic team,

402
00:17:17,570 --> 00:17:19,871
You know what I'm saying?

403
00:17:19,873 --> 00:17:22,140
I broke two American records.

404
00:17:23,143 --> 00:17:25,109
I won at the pan-am games.

405
00:17:25,612 --> 00:17:26,477
I was like, "man."

406
00:17:26,479 --> 00:17:28,980
Like, "I think, I should've
done this a long while ago."

407
00:17:28,982 --> 00:17:30,782
Like, "why didn't I research
this before?"

408
00:17:31,384 --> 00:17:33,418
<i>and Kendrick wasn't alone.</i>

409
00:17:34,187 --> 00:17:37,488
<i>Five thousand miles away,
I found another strength athlete</i>

410
00:17:37,490 --> 00:17:38,956
<i>Named Patrik Baboumian.</i>

411
00:17:49,135 --> 00:17:51,202
<i>Patrik is one
of the strongest men</i>

412
00:17:51,204 --> 00:17:53,905
<i>On the planet,
with multiple world records</i>

413
00:17:53,907 --> 00:17:57,141
<i>Including the front hold,
the keg lift...</i>

414
00:17:57,744 --> 00:17:59,243
<i>And the log lift.</i>

415
00:18:04,717 --> 00:18:05,950
<i>- How could one of the world's...</i>
- Yeah!

416
00:18:05,952 --> 00:18:08,719
<i>...Strongest men be so powerful,</i>

417
00:18:09,389 --> 00:18:14,125
<i>Eating only plants?
No meat. No milk. No eggs.</i>

418
00:18:14,627 --> 00:18:16,227
...Patrik Baboumian!

419
00:18:16,896 --> 00:18:18,362
Most of the training
I do at home

420
00:18:18,364 --> 00:18:20,398
Because
it's just more practical...

421
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,632
Someone asked me,

422
00:18:21,768 --> 00:18:24,235
"how could you get as strong
as an ox

423
00:18:24,237 --> 00:18:26,938
Without eating any meat?"
and my answer was,

424
00:18:26,940 --> 00:18:29,373
"have you ever seen
an ox eating meat?"

425
00:18:32,946 --> 00:18:35,713
I stopped eating meat in 2005.

426
00:18:36,015 --> 00:18:38,583
Up to that time I was 105 kilo.

427
00:18:38,718 --> 00:18:40,751
And now I'm 130 kilos.

428
00:18:40,753 --> 00:18:44,555
Also at the same time
I set, like, four world records.

429
00:18:44,691 --> 00:18:48,259
So when I stopped eating meat,
I got stronger and bigger.

430
00:18:48,261 --> 00:18:51,596
- Okay. So I just go under here.
- Okay. Yeah.

431
00:18:51,831 --> 00:18:53,064
Really take care of--

432
00:18:53,066 --> 00:18:55,233
Your-- your back
should really be straight.

433
00:18:55,368 --> 00:18:57,802
Pick it up.

434
00:18:58,004 --> 00:18:59,904
Get up.

435
00:19:00,406 --> 00:19:03,741
<i>At 700 pounds,
I could not move</i>

436
00:19:03,743 --> 00:19:05,042
<i>The yoke at all.</i>

437
00:19:05,044 --> 00:19:06,244
- It didn't move.
<i>- It felt like</i>

438
00:19:06,246 --> 00:19:08,412
<i>It was bolted to the ground.</i>

439
00:19:12,719 --> 00:19:14,919
<i>and that was just
his warm-up weight.</i>

440
00:19:18,291 --> 00:19:21,726
<i>It's hard to fathom
how strong Patrik really is.</i>

441
00:19:22,162 --> 00:19:24,262
<i>It's almost super human.</i>

442
00:19:29,369 --> 00:19:30,735
<i>when I met Patrik,</i>

443
00:19:30,737 --> 00:19:32,537
<i>He was training
to break the world record</i>

444
00:19:32,539 --> 00:19:35,373
<i>For the heaviest weight
ever carried by a human being.</i>

445
00:19:38,711 --> 00:19:40,445
<i>to break that record,</i>

446
00:19:40,446 --> 00:19:42,180
<i>Patrik would have
to carry 1224 pounds,</i>

447
00:19:42,415 --> 00:19:46,551
<i>That's the weight of a horse,
a distance of 33 feet.</i>

448
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,352
the thing
with the yoke is,

449
00:19:48,354 --> 00:19:51,122
If you really, really go insane
with the weight,

450
00:19:51,124 --> 00:19:52,323
When you do a step

451
00:19:52,325 --> 00:19:54,525
And all the weight
is on one leg,

452
00:19:54,527 --> 00:19:56,894
It sometimes feels
like your bones

453
00:19:56,896 --> 00:19:57,995
Could just break.

454
00:19:58,498 --> 00:20:01,432
It's probably one of the most
terrifying things

455
00:20:01,434 --> 00:20:03,568
That we do at strongman events.

456
00:20:14,147 --> 00:20:15,913
Here we go!

457
00:20:16,349 --> 00:20:18,416
<i>When Nate Diaz
stepped into the cage</i>

458
00:20:18,418 --> 00:20:19,584
<i>To face Conor McGregor,</i>

459
00:20:19,586 --> 00:20:23,654
<i>The Vegas odds makers had Diaz
as the four to one underdog.</i>

460
00:20:23,656 --> 00:20:25,690
he caught him again
with a right hook.

461
00:20:26,125 --> 00:20:27,358
And another left!

462
00:20:27,594 --> 00:20:29,827
And again
with a combination!

463
00:20:31,030 --> 00:20:33,030
Diaz trying to finish
with a submission.

464
00:20:33,032 --> 00:20:34,365
He's got it!
That's it!

465
00:20:34,367 --> 00:20:36,267
- He's got the choke!
- Nate Diaz!

466
00:20:36,269 --> 00:20:38,202
- He's got it, man.
- he has done it!

467
00:20:38,204 --> 00:20:41,272
Nate Diaz beats Conor McGregor!

468
00:20:41,274 --> 00:20:44,976
Oh, my goodness!

469
00:20:44,978 --> 00:20:48,112
Nate Diaz,
you just shook up the world.

470
00:20:48,314 --> 00:20:49,580
How does that feel?

471
00:20:50,049 --> 00:20:52,483
Aye,
I'm not surprised motherfuckers.

472
00:20:57,390 --> 00:21:01,158
It's a bitter,
bitter pill to swallow. Um,

473
00:21:01,327 --> 00:21:02,793
It was simply a...

474
00:21:03,129 --> 00:21:05,830
Battle of energy in there
and I--

475
00:21:06,399 --> 00:21:08,266
And he got the better
of that, so.

476
00:21:08,935 --> 00:21:10,334
Nine days out from the fight,

477
00:21:10,336 --> 00:21:12,536
I started eating two steaks
a day

478
00:21:12,538 --> 00:21:14,872
And it just came back to bite me
on the ass, you know.

479
00:21:15,208 --> 00:21:16,674
<i>This was the greatest upset</i>

480
00:21:16,676 --> 00:21:19,610
<i>In UFC history,
and it turned out, Nate wasn't</i>

481
00:21:19,612 --> 00:21:21,879
<i>The only plant-based fighter
out there.</i>

482
00:21:25,084 --> 00:21:26,183
I stopped eating meat

483
00:21:26,185 --> 00:21:28,786
Probably like around the end
of 2012.

484
00:21:29,322 --> 00:21:31,055
I grew up not even knowing

485
00:21:31,057 --> 00:21:32,957
About half
of these other vegetables.

486
00:21:33,326 --> 00:21:36,227
Asparagus to me just came out
like five years ago.

487
00:21:36,429 --> 00:21:38,696
You know what I'm saying?
That's just like, as a kid,

488
00:21:38,698 --> 00:21:40,731
I was like, "asparagus.
We ain't never see that."

489
00:21:40,733 --> 00:21:41,666
I'm like, "what's that?"

490
00:21:41,668 --> 00:21:44,969
<i>Bryant Jennings
is a heavyweight title contender</i>

491
00:21:44,971 --> 00:21:46,237
<i>Best known
for going the distance</i>

492
00:21:46,239 --> 00:21:47,371
<i>With Wladimir Klitschko,</i>

493
00:21:47,373 --> 00:21:50,107
<i>One of the greatest
boxing champions of all time.</i>

494
00:21:50,476 --> 00:21:52,376
my early years
growing up in Philly,

495
00:21:52,378 --> 00:21:54,545
The only thing we knew
was spinach in a can,

496
00:21:54,547 --> 00:21:58,983
Collard greens and Popeye's,
KFC, everybody frying chicken.

497
00:22:02,422 --> 00:22:05,056
Most people say, "oh,
where do you get your protein?"

498
00:22:05,058 --> 00:22:06,691
As if everybody that's in KFC

499
00:22:06,693 --> 00:22:08,326
Is looking at the back
of a bucket.

500
00:22:08,561 --> 00:22:10,828
Like, "yeah, how much protein
is--" y'all don't know.

501
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:13,064
So, y'all really don't know
what y'all eating.

502
00:22:14,067 --> 00:22:16,400
<i>I'd never really thought
about it like that before.</i>

503
00:22:16,736 --> 00:22:18,769
<i>What else was in the food
I was eating?</i>

504
00:22:20,106 --> 00:22:22,206
<i>An experiment to help answer
that question</i>

505
00:22:22,208 --> 00:22:24,542
<i>Was being conducted
by Dr. Robert Vogel,</i>

506
00:22:24,544 --> 00:22:26,877
<i>Co-chair
of the NFL's sub committee</i>

507
00:22:26,879 --> 00:22:28,379
<i>On cardiovascular health.</i>

508
00:22:28,381 --> 00:22:32,483
What you eat immediately
before an athletic endeavor

509
00:22:32,485 --> 00:22:35,586
Really can have major impact
on how you perform.

510
00:22:36,222 --> 00:22:39,357
There's a direct correlation
between a meal

511
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,359
And endothelial function.

512
00:22:41,527 --> 00:22:43,928
The endothelium is a lining
of blood vessels.

513
00:22:44,163 --> 00:22:47,131
It regulates blood flow
throughout the body.

514
00:22:47,133 --> 00:22:49,600
It knows
that a particular muscle group

515
00:22:49,602 --> 00:22:53,971
Or organ needs more blood flow,
and it dilates, it opens up.

516
00:22:54,340 --> 00:22:58,576
When the endothelium
is impaired, it cannot open up.

517
00:22:58,578 --> 00:23:02,246
It cannot allow blood flow
to increase as much.

518
00:23:02,248 --> 00:23:04,715
And therefore,
impairs athletic performance.

519
00:23:05,151 --> 00:23:07,518
<i>The test subjects
were three football players</i>

520
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:08,986
<i>From the Miami dolphins.</i>

521
00:23:09,589 --> 00:23:11,655
<i>Defensive back, Michael Thomas.</i>

522
00:23:12,425 --> 00:23:14,792
<i>And wide receivers,
Griff Whalen,</i>

523
00:23:15,661 --> 00:23:18,095
<i>- And Kenny stills.</i>
- caught for the touchdown!

524
00:23:18,264 --> 00:23:19,630
Kenny stills!

525
00:23:19,632 --> 00:23:21,565
Today, we're going
to be feeding them

526
00:23:21,567 --> 00:23:25,069
Three burrito breakfasts
with a lot of protein.

527
00:23:25,338 --> 00:23:30,341
Two of them have sources
of animal-based protein and fat.

528
00:23:30,343 --> 00:23:33,144
One is from beef,
one is from chicken.

529
00:23:33,346 --> 00:23:35,045
The third is
a plant-based burrito

530
00:23:35,047 --> 00:23:36,080
Which has beans in it,

531
00:23:36,082 --> 00:23:40,885
So the protein and the fat came
from a plant based source.

532
00:23:41,287 --> 00:23:44,989
Tomorrow, we're gonna feed them
all bean burritos.

533
00:23:45,892 --> 00:23:49,493
We're looking at the impact
of eating a different meal

534
00:23:49,495 --> 00:23:51,996
- On the same people.
- All right. Here's the beef.

535
00:23:52,265 --> 00:23:53,664
- Thank you.
- chicken here.

536
00:23:53,666 --> 00:23:56,467
- And the plant based one here.
- Thank you.

537
00:23:57,036 --> 00:23:59,537
<i>Griff has been
plant based for four years,</i>

538
00:23:59,539 --> 00:24:02,239
<i>So he got bean burritos
on both days.</i>

539
00:24:03,042 --> 00:24:06,577
On away games, we always eat
fried chicken, we eat Popeye's.

540
00:24:06,846 --> 00:24:09,180
I love fried chicken
and I love Popeye's.

541
00:24:09,182 --> 00:24:11,982
And I'm gonna eat Popeye's
every time.

542
00:24:13,653 --> 00:24:15,252
<i>Two hours after each meal,</i>

543
00:24:15,254 --> 00:24:16,787
<i>The players had
their blood drawn</i>

544
00:24:16,923 --> 00:24:18,189
<i>And put into a centrifuge.</i>

545
00:24:18,825 --> 00:24:20,791
<i>The red blood cells sink
to the bottom.</i>

546
00:24:21,027 --> 00:24:24,595
<i>An amber colored fluid
called plasma, rises to the top.</i>

547
00:24:25,498 --> 00:24:26,864
<i>If the plasma is see-through,</i>

548
00:24:26,866 --> 00:24:28,632
<i>It means there's not much fat
in the blood</i>

549
00:24:28,634 --> 00:24:31,435
<i>And the endothelium
is likely functioning well.</i>

550
00:24:34,307 --> 00:24:35,307
Michael.

551
00:24:35,908 --> 00:24:39,076
Today's blood,
and yesterday's blood.

552
00:24:39,479 --> 00:24:43,714
This is a plant burrito.
This is a meat burrito.

553
00:24:43,716 --> 00:24:46,517
Look at the difference it makes
in what circulates

554
00:24:46,519 --> 00:24:47,651
In your bloodstream.

555
00:24:47,653 --> 00:24:49,253
- Cloudy.
- cloudy.

556
00:24:49,388 --> 00:24:52,523
And that on top
is the fat circulating

557
00:24:52,525 --> 00:24:54,758
In your blood
from the meat burrito.

558
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,461
- Gotcha.
- Griff, you're the vegan.

559
00:24:57,730 --> 00:25:01,265
Here's your blood from today
and your blood from yesterday.

560
00:25:01,267 --> 00:25:05,236
- Nice and clear, both of them.
- So the fat from the avocado

561
00:25:05,238 --> 00:25:06,837
Doesn't have
that kind of effect?

562
00:25:06,839 --> 00:25:08,539
That's right. Kenny.

563
00:25:09,909 --> 00:25:12,910
You're the fried chicken guy.

564
00:25:13,045 --> 00:25:15,579
You wanna see
your chicken? There it is.

565
00:25:15,581 --> 00:25:17,915
Yeah, it's pretty gross to see.

566
00:25:18,050 --> 00:25:20,784
Sources of animal-based protein

567
00:25:20,987 --> 00:25:24,588
And fat have a tremendous impact
on endothelial function

568
00:25:24,590 --> 00:25:27,525
That lasts for six
or seven hours after you eat.

569
00:25:27,527 --> 00:25:29,894
So if you have bacon
and eggs for breakfast,

570
00:25:29,896 --> 00:25:32,096
A hamburger for lunch
and a steak for dinner,

571
00:25:32,098 --> 00:25:36,934
This is going on all day long.
Your blood is always cloudy.

572
00:25:36,936 --> 00:25:41,171
And the ability to operate
at your best is always impaired.

573
00:25:41,641 --> 00:25:42,540
Damn.

574
00:25:42,542 --> 00:25:45,809
I guess I won't be eating
my fried chicken no more.

575
00:25:46,579 --> 00:25:47,811
<i>Dr. Vogel's experiment</i>

576
00:25:47,813 --> 00:25:49,580
<i>Was backed up
by numerous studies</i>

577
00:25:49,582 --> 00:25:51,515
<i>Measuring
how a single animal-based meal</i>

578
00:25:51,517 --> 00:25:52,917
<i>Can impair blood flow.</i>

579
00:25:53,286 --> 00:25:55,553
<i>I also found a large body
of research</i>

580
00:25:55,555 --> 00:25:57,721
<i>Showing that plants
have the opposite effect,</i>

581
00:25:57,723 --> 00:26:01,158
<i>Improving endothelial function
and increasing blood flow.</i>

582
00:26:01,627 --> 00:26:03,994
<i>Controlled studies show
that simply drinking beet juice</i>

583
00:26:03,996 --> 00:26:08,032
<i>Before training allows subjects
to cycle 22 percent longer,</i>

584
00:26:08,034 --> 00:26:11,335
<i>And bench press 19 percent
more total weight.</i>

585
00:26:11,637 --> 00:26:13,504
I've seen races
where it has come down

586
00:26:13,506 --> 00:26:15,806
To the one thousandth
of a second.

587
00:26:16,108 --> 00:26:18,342
Sometimes, you have to do things
that you know your competitors

588
00:26:18,344 --> 00:26:19,410
Aren't doing.

589
00:26:19,412 --> 00:26:21,211
Getting every single advantage
you can.

590
00:26:22,181 --> 00:26:24,715
<i>Knowing I could get
enough energy and protein</i>

591
00:26:24,717 --> 00:26:27,885
<i>Was one thing, but seeing
what a single animal-based meal</i>

592
00:26:27,887 --> 00:26:30,621
<i>Could do to an athlete's blood
sealed the deal.</i>

593
00:26:31,724 --> 00:26:34,525
<i>It was time to give
this plant-based thing a try.</i>

594
00:26:34,527 --> 00:26:37,027
<i>But there was only one meal
I could think of.</i>

595
00:26:38,631 --> 00:26:40,831
Could I get two bean burritos,
please?

596
00:26:43,035 --> 00:26:45,269
Bean.

597
00:26:45,671 --> 00:26:47,504
Thank you.

598
00:26:48,541 --> 00:26:49,773
When I went plant-based,

599
00:26:49,775 --> 00:26:52,776
I thought that it would be
a longer transition,

600
00:26:52,945 --> 00:26:55,646
But I just immediately
started feeling

601
00:26:55,648 --> 00:26:57,781
Like I could go kick ass

602
00:26:57,783 --> 00:26:59,883
And not need the recovery
in between.

603
00:26:59,885 --> 00:27:01,452
It-- it was mind blowing
to my teammates.

604
00:27:01,454 --> 00:27:02,886
They were tired of me saying,

605
00:27:02,888 --> 00:27:04,922
Like, "let's go again
and again."

606
00:27:06,859 --> 00:27:11,028
Recovery
is the most essential element

607
00:27:11,197 --> 00:27:13,564
Of an elite athlete's existence.

608
00:27:14,300 --> 00:27:17,501
It's damage, repair, damage,
repair

609
00:27:17,503 --> 00:27:19,036
And you do that over
and over again.

610
00:27:19,038 --> 00:27:23,440
Because if you can do more work
and more repair,

611
00:27:23,442 --> 00:27:25,142
You're gonna be
the better athlete.

612
00:27:26,078 --> 00:27:27,344
<i>Dotsie was right.</i>

613
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,446
<i>Bouncing back quickly
between workouts</i>

614
00:27:29,448 --> 00:27:31,615
<i>Is a huge advantage
for any athlete.</i>

615
00:27:32,585 --> 00:27:35,586
<i>But the idea that food
could be the secret weapon,</i>

616
00:27:36,222 --> 00:27:37,821
<i>I had to find out more.</i>

617
00:27:38,891 --> 00:27:41,158
<i>Dr. Scott Stoll
is a former Olympian</i>

618
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,661
<i>And a team physician
for the USA Olympic team.</i>

619
00:27:43,863 --> 00:27:45,529
I work
with professional athletes

620
00:27:45,531 --> 00:27:47,498
That are very interested
in protein.

621
00:27:47,633 --> 00:27:48,899
Protein's important,

622
00:27:48,901 --> 00:27:51,502
But which package
is your protein coming in,

623
00:27:51,504 --> 00:27:53,303
Is the better question
to answer.

624
00:27:53,639 --> 00:27:56,740
The plant based protein
versus the animal protein,

625
00:27:56,742 --> 00:28:00,711
Which package is going to help
the body overcome inflammation

626
00:28:00,713 --> 00:28:02,579
And help the body to recover.

627
00:28:03,382 --> 00:28:04,948
In animal products,

628
00:28:05,251 --> 00:28:08,852
You're getting protein packaged
with inflammatory molecules

629
00:28:08,854 --> 00:28:13,057
Like neu5gc, endotoxins
and heme iron.

630
00:28:13,926 --> 00:28:18,762
When we consume animal products,
it also changes the microbiome,

631
00:28:18,764 --> 00:28:20,564
The bacteria that live
in our gut.

632
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:22,599
And the bacterial species

633
00:28:22,768 --> 00:28:26,136
That have been shown
to promote inflammation overgrow

634
00:28:26,138 --> 00:28:28,639
And begin to produce
inflammatory mediators

635
00:28:28,641 --> 00:28:30,074
Like tmao.

636
00:28:31,977 --> 00:28:34,378
<i>The study that showed
that a single hamburger</i>

637
00:28:34,380 --> 00:28:36,313
<i>Impairs blood flow also showed</i>

638
00:28:36,315 --> 00:28:40,217
<i>That it can increase measures
of inflammation by 70 percent.</i>

639
00:28:40,686 --> 00:28:43,587
<i>In the arteries,
inflammation reduces blood flow.</i>

640
00:28:43,589 --> 00:28:46,390
<i>In muscles and joints,
it can increase soreness</i>

641
00:28:46,392 --> 00:28:47,591
<i>And delay recovery.</i>

642
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,729
In plant-based protein,
you're getting protein

643
00:28:51,731 --> 00:28:54,031
That's packaged
with antioxidants,

644
00:28:54,033 --> 00:28:56,600
Phytochemicals, minerals,
and vitamins

645
00:28:56,602 --> 00:28:58,001
That are gonna reduce
inflammation,

646
00:28:58,003 --> 00:29:01,038
Optimize the microbiome,
optimize blood supply,

647
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,174
And optimize
your body's performance.

648
00:29:05,244 --> 00:29:08,011
<i>The antioxidants
Dr. Stoll was talking about</i>

649
00:29:08,013 --> 00:29:10,614
<i>Are found almost entirely
in plants,</i>

650
00:29:10,616 --> 00:29:13,584
<i>Which have, on average,
64 times</i>

651
00:29:13,586 --> 00:29:16,253
<i>The antioxidant content
of animal foods.</i>

652
00:29:16,756 --> 00:29:19,757
<i>Even iceberg lettuce
has more antioxidants</i>

653
00:29:19,759 --> 00:29:21,492
<i>Than salmon or eggs.</i>

654
00:29:21,927 --> 00:29:24,595
<i>As a result, switching
to a plant-based diet</i>

655
00:29:24,597 --> 00:29:26,563
<i>Can help reduce measures
of inflammation</i>

656
00:29:26,565 --> 00:29:29,666
<i>By 29 percent
in just three weeks.</i>

657
00:29:30,770 --> 00:29:33,570
I was about ready
to retire, as I should've been,

658
00:29:33,572 --> 00:29:35,606
Because I'm like 35
at that time.

659
00:29:35,875 --> 00:29:37,574
But I just kept getting better,

660
00:29:37,576 --> 00:29:40,944
And so...
...They had to take me
to the Olympics.

661
00:29:41,514 --> 00:29:44,848
We were complete underdogs
as team USA.

662
00:29:45,050 --> 00:29:48,218
In our semi-final ride
against Australia,

663
00:29:48,420 --> 00:29:50,921
We were down by 1.7 seconds.

664
00:29:51,056 --> 00:29:52,990
No one's ever come back
in team pursuit

665
00:29:52,992 --> 00:29:54,458
From a deficit that large.

666
00:29:56,862 --> 00:29:58,595
And we beat them on the line

667
00:29:58,597 --> 00:30:00,330
By eight one-hundredths
of a second.

668
00:30:05,938 --> 00:30:08,806
I was 39 and a half years old

669
00:30:08,808 --> 00:30:10,307
When I stood
on the Olympic podium.

670
00:30:10,309 --> 00:30:13,944
I'm still the oldest person,
male or female,

671
00:30:13,946 --> 00:30:17,281
To even go to the Olympic games
in my event.

672
00:30:17,583 --> 00:30:21,518
My diet
was the most powerful aspect

673
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,522
To me being able to perform
and produce for the us team

674
00:30:25,524 --> 00:30:27,090
At the Olympic games.

675
00:30:31,463 --> 00:30:33,397
<i>All of these athletes
and their stories</i>

676
00:30:33,399 --> 00:30:36,767
<i>Were impressive,
but my goal from the beginning,</i>

677
00:30:36,769 --> 00:30:39,002
<i>Was to recover
from actual injuries,</i>

678
00:30:39,004 --> 00:30:41,138
<i>Like the damage I'd done
to my knees.</i>

679
00:30:44,043 --> 00:30:46,076
and he's down
at the line of scrimmage,

680
00:30:46,078 --> 00:30:48,145
In the arms of derrick Morgan.

681
00:30:48,147 --> 00:30:50,681
<i>Derrick Morgan had been
on a similar journey.</i>

682
00:30:50,683 --> 00:30:53,016
In the NFL, the injury rate
is a 100 percent.

683
00:30:53,285 --> 00:30:55,485
It's a violent game.

684
00:30:55,487 --> 00:30:57,955
He's hit hard
and goes down there.

685
00:30:57,957 --> 00:30:59,957
And so, how you respond
to injury

686
00:30:59,959 --> 00:31:01,892
And how quickly you heal
from injury

687
00:31:01,894 --> 00:31:04,862
Is important because
if you're not on the field,

688
00:31:04,864 --> 00:31:07,664
You're not helping the team.
I was reading the research

689
00:31:07,666 --> 00:31:09,166
And seeing
that a plant-based diet

690
00:31:09,168 --> 00:31:11,835
Could be beneficial,
specifically for recovery.

691
00:31:11,837 --> 00:31:13,670
And so
I started incorporating it

692
00:31:13,873 --> 00:31:16,006
And I started seeing
really good results with it.

693
00:31:16,141 --> 00:31:19,676
I was recovering better.
I wasn't getting as sore.

694
00:31:19,678 --> 00:31:21,478
I was a lot less swollen.

695
00:31:21,981 --> 00:31:24,948
Basically, to confirm
what I was feeling,

696
00:31:25,284 --> 00:31:26,416
I got my blood tested.

697
00:31:27,152 --> 00:31:29,486
Six months
after being on the diet,

698
00:31:29,488 --> 00:31:30,888
All of my markers were down,

699
00:31:30,890 --> 00:31:32,856
My blood pressure,
my cholesterol.

700
00:31:32,858 --> 00:31:34,424
But the main thing
I was looking at

701
00:31:34,426 --> 00:31:37,661
Was the inflammation marker
in your blood and mine was...

702
00:31:38,063 --> 00:31:40,497
Almost obsolete.
It wasn't there anymore.

703
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:42,900
A whole food,
plant-based diet

704
00:31:42,902 --> 00:31:45,235
Is gonna optimize the growth
of blood vessels

705
00:31:45,237 --> 00:31:46,236
Into damaged tissue,

706
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:49,640
It's gonna lay down new tissue
in tendons and muscles,

707
00:31:49,842 --> 00:31:51,808
It's gonna stimulate
their immune system

708
00:31:51,810 --> 00:31:55,212
To fight off infections.
So almost at every level,

709
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:56,880
Eating the right foods

710
00:31:56,882 --> 00:31:59,583
Is going to accelerate
the healing process.

711
00:32:01,020 --> 00:32:02,586
<i>Six weeks
into my personal</i>

712
00:32:02,588 --> 00:32:03,720
<i>Plant based experiment,</i>

713
00:32:03,722 --> 00:32:06,423
<i>I went to the gym to see
if I could notice a difference.</i>

714
00:32:06,825 --> 00:32:09,059
<i>I wasn't able to spar
or wrestle yet,</i>

715
00:32:09,061 --> 00:32:11,328
<i>So I decided
to hit the battling ropes.</i>

716
00:32:11,964 --> 00:32:14,531
<i>At my gym, lasting ten minutes
on the ropes,</i>

717
00:32:14,533 --> 00:32:15,732
<i>Gets your name on the wall.</i>

718
00:32:16,001 --> 00:32:18,635
<i>Only a few people
had ever hit 20 minutes.</i>

719
00:32:19,004 --> 00:32:20,837
<i>Even at the peak
of my conditioning,</i>

720
00:32:20,839 --> 00:32:23,006
<i>The most I'd ever got
was eight minutes.</i>

721
00:32:23,008 --> 00:32:25,809
- James, keep it going.
<i>- but on this day,</i>

722
00:32:25,811 --> 00:32:27,577
<i>I hit ten minutes easily.</i>

723
00:32:28,380 --> 00:32:29,579
<i>Then I hit 20...</i>

724
00:32:30,149 --> 00:32:33,517
<i>- Thirty.</i>
- you're at 45 minutes.

725
00:32:34,086 --> 00:32:37,220
<i>I thought, "holy shit,
I'm gonna do an hour."</i>

726
00:32:37,890 --> 00:32:39,156
<i>I went past the hour mark</i>

727
00:32:39,158 --> 00:32:41,124
<i>By about one minute
and just thought,</i>

728
00:32:41,660 --> 00:32:43,460
<i>"all right, that'll do."</i>

729
00:32:44,129 --> 00:32:45,929
I can't believe
you just did that, man.

730
00:32:46,332 --> 00:32:49,266
<i>The only thing
that had changed was my diet.</i>

731
00:32:50,302 --> 00:32:52,169
I could have kept going.

732
00:32:52,171 --> 00:32:53,770
That's way over
the record right?

733
00:32:53,772 --> 00:32:55,939
Yeah. A freaking hour.

734
00:32:59,111 --> 00:33:00,410
<i>When I was growing up</i>

735
00:33:00,412 --> 00:33:03,981
<i>The toughest guy in the world
to me was my dad.</i>

736
00:33:04,850 --> 00:33:06,984
<i>He taught me the value
of self-defense,</i>

737
00:33:07,486 --> 00:33:10,420
<i>And was always there to help me
when I got into trouble.</i>

738
00:33:13,158 --> 00:33:16,693
<i>But now, he was the one
who needed help.</i>

739
00:33:18,964 --> 00:33:21,198
<i>- You had a heart attack?
- Correct.</i>

740
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,433
<i>Had you had much in the way
of symptoms prior</i>

741
00:33:23,435 --> 00:33:26,169
<i>- To this episode?
- No, never before, the first...</i>

742
00:33:26,171 --> 00:33:28,105
<i>after my dad got out
of the hospital</i>

743
00:33:28,107 --> 00:33:30,007
<i>Following emergency
heart surgery,</i>

744
00:33:30,009 --> 00:33:33,010
<i>We got on a Skype call
with Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn,</i>

745
00:33:33,012 --> 00:33:35,512
<i>An internationally renowned
heart disease researcher</i>

746
00:33:35,514 --> 00:33:36,847
<i>From the Cleveland clinic.</i>

747
00:33:37,116 --> 00:33:40,250
<i>...Uh, always been, I think,
very fit.</i>

748
00:33:40,452 --> 00:33:42,152
<i>So somewhat of a surprise.</i>

749
00:33:42,454 --> 00:33:44,187
<i>Well, no, not a surprise.</i>

750
00:33:44,656 --> 00:33:47,924
<i>In all of western civilization,
there is nothing more common</i>

751
00:33:47,926 --> 00:33:49,559
<i>Than coronary artery
heart disease,</i>

752
00:33:49,695 --> 00:33:53,597
<i>And that is because of the foods
that most people eat every day.</i>

753
00:33:54,066 --> 00:33:55,966
<i>Do you happen to recall</i>

754
00:33:55,967 --> 00:33:58,127
<i>Into which of your arteries
that they placed the stent?</i>

755
00:33:58,270 --> 00:34:00,437
<i>Was it into the left anterior
descending</i>

756
00:34:00,439 --> 00:34:02,039
<i>- Or the right coronary...
- after seeing how much</i>

757
00:34:02,041 --> 00:34:03,740
<i>A single animal-based meal</i>

758
00:34:03,742 --> 00:34:05,542
<i>Can affect
healthy young athletes,</i>

759
00:34:05,544 --> 00:34:08,812
<i>I couldn't help but wonder
what a lifetime of these foods</i>

760
00:34:08,814 --> 00:34:10,747
<i>Might have done
to my father's heart.</i>

761
00:34:11,283 --> 00:34:13,517
In all of our studies,
we found the same thing...

762
00:34:13,919 --> 00:34:15,585
These same biological mechanisms

763
00:34:15,587 --> 00:34:17,721
That affect performance
also affect our health.

764
00:34:17,956 --> 00:34:20,090
Chronic inflammation,
oxidative stress

765
00:34:20,092 --> 00:34:24,061
- And endothelial function.
- When you eat animal products,

766
00:34:24,263 --> 00:34:27,330
You start to form plaques
in the coronary arteries.

767
00:34:27,733 --> 00:34:29,366
Plaque formation in the arteries

768
00:34:29,368 --> 00:34:32,135
Doesn't just limit the function
of the arteries,

769
00:34:32,137 --> 00:34:34,471
It can also block
the blood flow,

770
00:34:34,473 --> 00:34:37,874
And that's when the heart starts
to have some real problems

771
00:34:37,876 --> 00:34:39,876
Keeping up with the demands
of the body.

772
00:34:40,279 --> 00:34:42,846
In terms of heart disease,
oftentimes there is confusion.

773
00:34:42,848 --> 00:34:44,047
People think that "well",

774
00:34:44,049 --> 00:34:46,083
I don't eat red meat,
so I'm okay."

775
00:34:46,318 --> 00:34:48,151
We know that
it's more complicated than that.

776
00:34:48,153 --> 00:34:51,188
It's not just red meat.
It's not just the fat.

777
00:34:51,623 --> 00:34:53,423
<i>For nearly 50 years,
we were told</i>

778
00:34:53,425 --> 00:34:55,325
<i>That the primary cause
of heart disease</i>

779
00:34:55,327 --> 00:34:57,260
<i>Was saturated fat
and cholesterol,</i>

780
00:34:57,429 --> 00:34:59,863
<i>And that leaner meats,
lower fat dairy products,</i>

781
00:34:59,865 --> 00:35:01,598
<i>And egg whites
were the solution.</i>

782
00:35:02,534 --> 00:35:03,567
<i>But the research now shows</i>

783
00:35:03,569 --> 00:35:06,369
<i>That the other inflammatory
compounds in animal foods,</i>

784
00:35:06,371 --> 00:35:08,905
<i>Like those that
can impair athletic recovery,</i>

785
00:35:08,907 --> 00:35:10,474
<i>Also play a significant role</i>

786
00:35:10,476 --> 00:35:12,242
<i>In the development
of heart disease.</i>

787
00:35:12,377 --> 00:35:14,211
We're going
to do a whole lot better

788
00:35:14,213 --> 00:35:16,213
By just getting rid
of the animal products

789
00:35:16,215 --> 00:35:19,216
And there are really good
biochemical reasons for that.

790
00:35:19,218 --> 00:35:21,585
Heme iron is one of them,
for example.

791
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,955
Heme iron
is from an animal source, right?

792
00:35:24,957 --> 00:35:27,424
So, uh, most commonly
you think red meat,

793
00:35:27,426 --> 00:35:29,960
Even though poultry have it,
fish has it.

794
00:35:29,962 --> 00:35:31,294
They did a meta-analysis

795
00:35:31,296 --> 00:35:35,632
Looking over six prospective
dietary studies

796
00:35:35,801 --> 00:35:38,535
Over a 130,000 patients

797
00:35:38,537 --> 00:35:42,239
And they came to the conclusion
that one milligram a day

798
00:35:42,241 --> 00:35:46,476
Of heme iron is associated
with a 27 percent increase

799
00:35:46,478 --> 00:35:48,578
In risk
of coronary heart disease.

800
00:35:48,747 --> 00:35:52,349
To put that in perspective,
an average hamburger patty...

801
00:35:52,351 --> 00:35:55,485
Has about two
to three milligrams.

802
00:35:55,654 --> 00:35:58,155
<i>And it isn't just
the iron in animal foods</i>

803
00:35:58,157 --> 00:35:59,422
<i>That can cause problems.</i>

804
00:35:59,424 --> 00:36:02,459
<i>It's actually
the animal protein itself.</i>

805
00:36:02,861 --> 00:36:04,261
It's not just red meat,

806
00:36:04,496 --> 00:36:07,264
Not just chicken, not just eggs,
not just milk.

807
00:36:07,266 --> 00:36:10,800
It's the ingestion
of any animal protein.

808
00:36:10,936 --> 00:36:13,603
At that moment in time,
a process begins

809
00:36:13,839 --> 00:36:15,906
At a chemical level
inside the body.

810
00:36:16,308 --> 00:36:19,242
<i>When the protein found
in animal foods is cooked,</i>

811
00:36:19,244 --> 00:36:22,412
<i>Preserved, or even just digested
by our gut bacteria,</i>

812
00:36:22,714 --> 00:36:24,915
<i>Highly inflammatory compounds
are formed</i>

813
00:36:24,917 --> 00:36:27,017
<i>That corrode
our cardiovascular system.</i>

814
00:36:27,452 --> 00:36:30,487
<i>This helps explain why people
who get all of their protein</i>

815
00:36:30,489 --> 00:36:34,891
<i>From plants reduce their risk
of heart disease by 55 percent.</i>

816
00:36:35,327 --> 00:36:36,760
<i>It would also help explain</i>

817
00:36:36,762 --> 00:36:39,129
<i>Why the only diet
that has ever been shown</i>

818
00:36:39,131 --> 00:36:40,997
<i>To actually reverse
heart disease</i>

819
00:36:40,999 --> 00:36:42,332
<i>Is a plant-based one.</i>

820
00:36:42,334 --> 00:36:44,501
What we found is that
in the first month,

821
00:36:44,503 --> 00:36:45,835
There was improvement
in blood flow

822
00:36:45,837 --> 00:36:48,004
And the heart began
to pump blood more normally.

823
00:36:48,006 --> 00:36:49,639
After a year,
even severely clogged

824
00:36:49,641 --> 00:36:52,175
Coronary arteries
became measurably less clogged,

825
00:36:52,177 --> 00:36:53,843
And even more improvement
after five years.

826
00:36:53,845 --> 00:36:55,845
But in the randomized
control group, who were doing

827
00:36:55,847 --> 00:36:58,014
Just what their doctors
told them to do at the time,

828
00:36:58,150 --> 00:37:00,383
You know, less red meat,
more fish and chicken,

829
00:37:00,385 --> 00:37:01,685
Little exercise and so on,

830
00:37:01,687 --> 00:37:04,020
Their arteries got more clogged
after one year

831
00:37:04,156 --> 00:37:05,989
And even more clogged
after five years.

832
00:37:06,825 --> 00:37:10,193
<i>♪ Humpty dumpty sat
on the wall... ♪</i>

833
00:37:10,195 --> 00:37:11,962
<i>while all
of this sounded promising,</i>

834
00:37:12,097 --> 00:37:14,097
<i>My dad didn't just need
to get better,</i>

835
00:37:14,266 --> 00:37:16,132
<i>He needed to get better fast.</i>

836
00:37:16,835 --> 00:37:20,103
<i>The stents in his heart
were only a temporary solution.</i>

837
00:37:20,639 --> 00:37:22,239
<i>He could have
another heart attack</i>

838
00:37:22,241 --> 00:37:23,707
<i>At any moment.</i>

839
00:37:27,212 --> 00:37:30,080
<i>I found some hope at a firehouse
in Brooklyn,</i>

840
00:37:30,082 --> 00:37:31,448
<i>Where Dr. Esselstyn's son, rip,</i>

841
00:37:31,450 --> 00:37:34,017
<i>A former firefighter
and professional triathlete</i>

842
00:37:34,019 --> 00:37:36,052
<i>Was launching some
of new york's bravest</i>

843
00:37:36,054 --> 00:37:37,787
<i>On a powerful new program.</i>

844
00:37:37,789 --> 00:37:39,956
What's the number one killer
of firefighters

845
00:37:39,958 --> 00:37:41,224
In the line of duty?

846
00:37:41,693 --> 00:37:42,659
Heart attacks.

847
00:37:42,661 --> 00:37:45,295
Sixty-seven percent
of firefighters

848
00:37:45,297 --> 00:37:48,064
Who perish in the line of duty
die of heart attacks.

849
00:37:48,567 --> 00:37:51,334
So this, right here,
that is what we call

850
00:37:51,336 --> 00:37:53,570
A healthy artery.

851
00:37:53,572 --> 00:37:56,339
The blood can flow through
this huge opening here.

852
00:37:56,341 --> 00:37:58,341
And this is what happens

853
00:37:58,343 --> 00:38:01,478
After decades on the meat
and dairy diet.

854
00:38:02,347 --> 00:38:03,347
Okay.

855
00:38:03,649 --> 00:38:05,715
If you guys have been eating
this way,

856
00:38:05,851 --> 00:38:08,685
I want you to take
the seven-day rescue challenge.

857
00:38:10,155 --> 00:38:13,156
We bought you guys
plant-based groceries.

858
00:38:13,292 --> 00:38:15,592
I want you to give yourselves
the chance to see

859
00:38:15,594 --> 00:38:18,828
What your internal biochemistry
does in just seven days.

860
00:38:19,598 --> 00:38:21,231
I know
that my cholesterol is elevated.

861
00:38:21,233 --> 00:38:23,533
My ldl's are always very high.

862
00:38:23,535 --> 00:38:26,036
The same job that I was doing
like ten years ago

863
00:38:26,038 --> 00:38:27,203
- Without an effort...
- Yeah.

864
00:38:27,205 --> 00:38:29,506
- ...Is now taking an effort.
- Despite working out all week,

865
00:38:29,508 --> 00:38:31,541
Playing sports,
my cholesterol is high

866
00:38:31,710 --> 00:38:33,777
And growing by
about ten, fifteen points

867
00:38:33,779 --> 00:38:35,945
Every year for the last five
or six years.

868
00:38:36,148 --> 00:38:37,314
I realized a couple salads
a week,

869
00:38:37,316 --> 00:38:40,417
- It doesn't really cut it.
- I got two kids, you know, so...

870
00:38:40,886 --> 00:38:43,720
Hopefully I'll feel better,
have more energy and...

871
00:38:44,456 --> 00:38:45,822
Add some years to my life.

872
00:38:49,561 --> 00:38:51,394
<i>I went to see
if I could get my dad</i>

873
00:38:51,396 --> 00:38:53,330
<i>To make these same changes
to his diet</i>

874
00:38:53,332 --> 00:38:54,864
<i>As soon as possible.</i>

875
00:38:55,701 --> 00:38:56,900
well,
what are you suggesting?

876
00:38:56,902 --> 00:38:59,035
- Well, let's do the shopping.
- -tomatoes...

877
00:38:59,037 --> 00:39:00,737
...Cucumber,

878
00:39:00,739 --> 00:39:02,706
We have hummus dips,
blueberries, raspberries...

879
00:39:02,708 --> 00:39:04,908
<i>but my dad
can be a little stubborn.</i>

880
00:39:05,143 --> 00:39:07,410
...Soya yogurt
and that's about it, I think.

881
00:39:07,412 --> 00:39:09,045
<i>So I wasn't feeling
that hopeful.</i>

882
00:39:09,047 --> 00:39:10,347
we'll just drink tea.

883
00:39:12,784 --> 00:39:15,318
<i>I come from a town
called Melton Mowbray,</i>

884
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,388
<i>Known in England
as the "rural capital of food".</i>

885
00:39:19,391 --> 00:39:22,325
<i>It's the home of Stilton cheese
and the world famous</i>

<i>Melton Mowbray pork pie.</i>

887
00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:31,301
<i>the pace of change here
is very slow.</i>

888
00:39:31,303 --> 00:39:34,637
tick 20, tick 22, tick 25...

889
00:39:34,639 --> 00:39:36,606
<i>and my dad,
like most of us,</i>

890
00:39:36,608 --> 00:39:38,541
<i>Is a product
of where he grew up.</i>

891
00:39:41,079 --> 00:39:42,312
<i>I just couldn't imagine</i>

892
00:39:42,314 --> 00:39:44,247
<i>Someone as set in his ways
as my father</i>

893
00:39:44,249 --> 00:39:45,949
<i>Making such a big switch...</i>

894
00:39:46,585 --> 00:39:48,918
On the top there, that's worth
another 20 quid.

895
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,053
Give us 50 quid, the lot.

896
00:39:51,356 --> 00:39:53,990
<i>...Until I got home
and went back to the gym.</i>

897
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,693
You push me? Go here.

898
00:39:57,662 --> 00:40:00,330
<i>I've spent years working out

<i>And was my strength
and conditioning coach.</i>

901
00:40:06,571 --> 00:40:08,405
That's it, that's it, that's it.
More arms. More arms.

902
00:40:08,407 --> 00:40:09,773
<i>I told Lou

<i>I'd been doing

904
00:40:12,611 --> 00:40:14,978
<i>And he'd never mentioned
this before and he said,</i>

905

<i>"I've been on a plant-based diet</i>

906

<i>- For almost ten years."</i>
- okay, rotate.

907
00:40:20,118 --> 00:40:24,554
<i>Lou is 60-years-old,

My grandchildren can't keep up
with me.

911
00:40:30,862 --> 00:40:32,529
When I went
from an animal-based diet

912
00:40:32,531 --> 00:40:35,865
To a plant-based diet,
my blood pressure went down

913
00:40:35,867 --> 00:40:37,901
To, like, 110 over 70.

914
00:40:38,437 --> 00:40:42,839
My heart rate sometimes
has been under 50, like, 48, 47.

915
00:40:43,375 --> 00:40:45,675
I'm more focused,
I'm more relaxed

916
00:40:45,844 --> 00:40:48,278
And I notice
that I have a lot more energy

917
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:49,979
Because of the plant-based diet.

918
00:40:50,582 --> 00:40:53,583
Come on, come on! Oh, man,
come on, come on, come on!

919
00:40:53,585 --> 00:40:55,919
People in their 20s,
they come in here,

920
00:40:56,221 --> 00:40:57,587
We do a workout,

921
00:40:57,956 --> 00:41:01,558
I sustain the workout
a lot easier than they do.

922
00:41:02,194 --> 00:41:05,829
We can come in here and do 800,
listen to what I just said.

923
00:41:06,231 --> 00:41:10,934
Eight hundred kettlebell swings
and snatches in one workout.

924
00:41:11,236 --> 00:41:12,602
They can't make it!

925
00:41:13,972 --> 00:41:15,038
I'm not kidding you.

926
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,841
They can't hang, man,
I'm telling you.

927
00:41:18,009 --> 00:41:19,075
They can't hang.

928
00:41:23,281 --> 00:41:25,114
<i>There was another guy
my dad's age,</i>

929
00:41:25,116 --> 00:41:26,950
<i>Who had also made a big change.</i>

930
00:41:29,254 --> 00:41:30,887
I ate a lot of meat.

931
00:41:31,256 --> 00:41:34,691
I ate my ten, 15 eggs a day

932
00:41:34,860 --> 00:41:39,028
And, you know,
I had my 250 grams
of protein a day,

933
00:41:39,030 --> 00:41:40,797
Because I weighed 250 pounds.

934
00:41:41,066 --> 00:41:43,967
The one
and only Arnold Schwarzenegger!

935
00:41:44,302 --> 00:41:46,269
But as I got older
and as I started

936
00:41:46,271 --> 00:41:48,838
Reading up on it,
I recognized the fact

937
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,674
That you really don't have
to get your protein from meat

938
00:41:51,676 --> 00:41:54,377
Or from animals,
as far as that goes.

939
00:41:54,679 --> 00:41:58,815
So we started going more
in a direction of the vegetarian

940
00:41:58,817 --> 00:41:59,916
Kind of a diet.

941
00:42:00,285 --> 00:42:01,851
Now with doing it the right way,

942
00:42:01,853 --> 00:42:03,786
With the right spices,
all of a sudden,

943
00:42:04,222 --> 00:42:06,923
I love it much more
than the meat.

944
00:42:07,325 --> 00:42:09,993
And, you know,
the cholesterol went down

945
00:42:10,128 --> 00:42:12,795
To around 109. It was the lowest

946
00:42:12,797 --> 00:42:15,431
That it ever was
in my entire life.

947
00:42:16,201 --> 00:42:18,434
At almost 69.

948
00:42:20,338 --> 00:42:23,139
What we eat has a major impact
on our health and our well being

949
00:42:23,141 --> 00:42:24,340
In every way we can measure.

950
00:42:24,476 --> 00:42:26,910
People who eat a diet
that's high in animal protein

951
00:42:27,078 --> 00:42:29,145
Have a 75 percent increased risk

952
00:42:29,147 --> 00:42:30,980
Of premature death
from all causes,

953
00:42:31,182 --> 00:42:32,715
And a four
to five hundred percent

954
00:42:32,717 --> 00:42:35,151
Increased risk of death
from most forms of cancer,

955
00:42:35,153 --> 00:42:38,488
Prostate, breast, colon cancer,
as well as type two diabetes.

956
00:42:38,490 --> 00:42:41,858
The amino acids
that come from animal sources

957
00:42:41,860 --> 00:42:45,395
Tend to make our cells rev up
and multiply faster.

958
00:42:45,397 --> 00:42:47,630
For example,
there is accumulating evidence

959
00:42:47,632 --> 00:42:50,066
That high consumption
of proteins from dairy sources

960
00:42:50,068 --> 00:42:52,936
Is related to a higher risk
of prostate cancer.

961
00:42:52,938 --> 00:42:56,406
That chain of cancer causation
actually seems pretty clear.

962
00:42:57,142 --> 00:43:00,176
<i>Cancer has been linked
to other animal foods as well.</i>

963
00:43:00,178 --> 00:43:03,012
<i>Research funded
by the national cancer institute</i>

964
00:43:03,014 --> 00:43:05,715
<i>Found that vegetarians
who add one or more servings</i>

965
00:43:05,717 --> 00:43:08,117
<i>Per week of white meat,
like chicken or fish</i>

966
00:43:08,119 --> 00:43:10,720
<i>More than triple
their risk of colon cancer.</i>

967
00:43:11,122 --> 00:43:13,790
So it's not one set
of dietary guidelines

968
00:43:13,792 --> 00:43:15,758
For improving your performance
as an athlete,

969
00:43:15,894 --> 00:43:17,627
Another one
for reversing heart disease,

970
00:43:17,629 --> 00:43:19,028
A different one
for reversing diabetes,

971
00:43:19,030 --> 00:43:21,130
A different one
for reversing prostate cancer.

972
00:43:21,132 --> 00:43:22,365
It's the same for all of them.

973
00:43:22,367 --> 00:43:25,969
<i>As groundbreaking as Al
of this nutritional science was,</i>

974
00:43:26,338 --> 00:43:28,237
<i>I also found it
really confusing.</i>

975
00:43:28,506 --> 00:43:30,173
<i>How could meat be so bad for us</i>

976
00:43:30,175 --> 00:43:33,509
<i>If that's what our ancestors
were supposedly built to eat?</i>

977
00:43:33,912 --> 00:43:35,979
when we think
about the diet of early humans,

978
00:43:35,981 --> 00:43:38,281
We're often drawn
to thinking about meat,

979
00:43:38,283 --> 00:43:40,583
But plant foods
were more important

980
00:43:40,585 --> 00:43:43,653
Than the archaeological record
gives credit for.

981
00:43:43,922 --> 00:43:47,290
The food that could be relied on
wherever you were

982
00:43:47,459 --> 00:43:49,292
Was the plant food.

983
00:43:49,694 --> 00:43:51,861
The popular perception
of what early humans ate

984
00:43:51,863 --> 00:43:54,731
Dates back to the 1930's
to 1940's,

985
00:43:54,733 --> 00:43:57,166
When there was
some amazing finds

986
00:43:57,168 --> 00:44:00,670
Of early human ancestors,
animal bones and tools

987
00:44:00,672 --> 00:44:02,739
That very much looked like
they may have been used

988
00:44:02,741 --> 00:44:04,974
To butcher and maim
those animals.

989
00:44:04,976 --> 00:44:06,743
So very early on,
we had this notion

990
00:44:06,745 --> 00:44:09,345
That meat had
a disproportionately larger role

991
00:44:09,347 --> 00:44:10,713
In the diet
of early human ancestors

992
00:44:10,715 --> 00:44:12,015
Than it actually did.

993
00:44:12,017 --> 00:44:14,317
The bias
in the archeological record

994
00:44:14,319 --> 00:44:16,285
Towards stone
and bone preservation

995
00:44:16,287 --> 00:44:20,289
Over things like plants
has led to a very skewed view.

996
00:44:20,592 --> 00:44:22,458
If we look at deep time,

997
00:44:22,627 --> 00:44:25,862
Bones and stone tools preserve
very well,

998
00:44:26,197 --> 00:44:28,564
But plants decay very rapidly.

999
00:44:29,834 --> 00:44:32,635
What's exciting though,
is in the last decade

1000
00:44:32,637 --> 00:44:33,803
We've started to realize

1001
00:44:33,972 --> 00:44:37,674
Microscopic fossils of plants
do preserve quite well

1002
00:44:38,043 --> 00:44:39,042
And so we're revisiting

1003
00:44:39,044 --> 00:44:41,077
Some of these earlier
paleolithic sites

1004
00:44:41,079 --> 00:44:44,080
And finding abundant evidence
of plants.

1005
00:44:44,315 --> 00:44:45,448
<i>Advanced technologies</i>

1006
00:44:45,650 --> 00:44:47,950
<i>Like those used
to analyze the gladiator bones,</i>

1007
00:44:47,952 --> 00:44:50,053
<i>Have allowed scientists
to take a closer look</i>

1008
00:44:50,055 --> 00:44:53,456
<i>At the tools, bones and teeth
of our ancestors,</i>

1009
00:44:53,591 --> 00:44:55,792
<i>Leading to the discovery
that early humans</i>

1010
00:44:55,794 --> 00:44:57,260
<i>Ate mostly plants.</i>

1011
00:44:57,762 --> 00:45:00,363
<i>And the reason for this
is actually quite simple.</i>

1012
00:45:00,498 --> 00:45:03,900
Humans do not have
any specialized genetic,

1013
00:45:03,902 --> 00:45:06,602
Anatomical,
or physiological adaptations

1014
00:45:06,604 --> 00:45:08,771
To meat consumption.
By contrast,

1015
00:45:08,773 --> 00:45:12,408
We have many adaptations
to plant consumption.

1016
00:45:12,811 --> 00:45:16,279
We have longer digestive tracts
than do carnivores,

1017
00:45:16,281 --> 00:45:19,716
And this allows humans
to digest plants and fibers

1018
00:45:19,718 --> 00:45:22,318
That require
longer processing time.

1019
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:26,389
We also lack the ability
to produce our own vitamin C.

1020
00:45:26,624 --> 00:45:28,524
Vitamin C is found in plants,

1021
00:45:28,526 --> 00:45:30,827
So the fact
that we cannot make our own,

1022
00:45:30,829 --> 00:45:34,864
Indicates just how reliant
upon plants we actually are.

1023
00:45:35,467 --> 00:45:37,467
This is why
we have trichromatic vision.

1024
00:45:37,702 --> 00:45:39,769
This is very different
from carnivores,

1025
00:45:39,771 --> 00:45:41,604
Which have dichromatic vision.

1026
00:45:41,740 --> 00:45:45,074
We can see more colors
and this is very important,

1027
00:45:45,076 --> 00:45:49,112
Especially if you need
to find fresh, ripe fruit.

1028
00:45:50,215 --> 00:45:54,617
We have a brain that just
is desperate for glucose.

1029
00:45:54,619 --> 00:45:56,686
Is a-- I mean,
it's such a fussy organ.

1030
00:45:56,688 --> 00:45:59,055
That's the only thing
it really takes in for energy.

1031
00:45:59,190 --> 00:46:00,723
Well,
meat's not a very good source

1032
00:46:00,725 --> 00:46:01,758
Of glucose.

1033
00:46:02,026 --> 00:46:03,426
To have a big brain like this,

1034
00:46:03,428 --> 00:46:05,194
You need
to eat something different,

1035
00:46:05,196 --> 00:46:07,764
And the most efficient way
to get glucose

1036
00:46:07,766 --> 00:46:09,332
Is to eat carbohydrates.

1037
00:46:10,802 --> 00:46:12,301
<i>But what about our teeth?</i>

1038
00:46:12,303 --> 00:46:14,837
<i>Aren't they proof
that we're built to eat meat?</i>

1039
00:46:15,406 --> 00:46:17,073
In primates,

1040
00:46:17,075 --> 00:46:18,775
You might think canine teeth
are associated

1041
00:46:18,777 --> 00:46:20,576
With a diet of meat,
but they're not.

1042
00:46:20,845 --> 00:46:23,980
In gorillas, when males want
to intimidate other males,

1043
00:46:23,982 --> 00:46:27,049
They will show the length
of their formidable canines.

1044
00:46:27,051 --> 00:46:29,886
On the other hand, carnivores
have distinctive teeth

1045
00:46:29,888 --> 00:46:31,854
And they're shaped
like scissor blades.

1046
00:46:31,856 --> 00:46:34,257
They simply shred the meat off
and they swallow.

1047
00:46:34,259 --> 00:46:36,526
Compare that to the teeth
of a human being,

1048
00:46:36,528 --> 00:46:38,027
Square and low-cusped,

1049
00:46:38,029 --> 00:46:40,329
For crushing and grinding
tough plant tissues.

1050
00:46:40,565 --> 00:46:43,866
Right there in your own mouth
is the best evidence we have

1051
00:46:43,868 --> 00:46:45,968
For a diet
that could not have been meat.

1052
00:46:46,337 --> 00:46:51,440
If you just got placed
in some ancestral environment,

1053
00:46:51,576 --> 00:46:54,076
The best thing
you could be equipped with

1054
00:46:54,345 --> 00:46:55,878
Is not a very sharp spear.

1055
00:46:56,181 --> 00:46:58,247
The most important thing
you could be equipped with

1056
00:46:58,249 --> 00:47:01,717
Is knowledge of which plants
you can eat.

1057
00:47:02,187 --> 00:47:03,953
<i>Suddenly,
it all made sense.</i>

1058
00:47:04,189 --> 00:47:07,089
<i>The reason an animal based diet
isn't good for us</i>

1059
00:47:07,091 --> 00:47:09,325
<i>Is because our bodies
aren't built for it.</i>

1060
00:47:09,627 --> 00:47:11,727
<i>It's simply the wrong type
of fuel.</i>

1061
00:47:12,030 --> 00:47:14,997
<i>The only thing
that really didn't fit was b12,</i>

1062
00:47:14,999 --> 00:47:17,600
<i>An important vitamin
that everyone kept warning me</i>

1063
00:47:17,602 --> 00:47:19,635
<i>You could only get
from animal foods.</i>

1064
00:47:19,771 --> 00:47:23,439
<i>It turns out that b12
isn't made by animals after all.</i>

1065
00:47:23,641 --> 00:47:24,974
<i>It's made by bacteria</i>

1066
00:47:24,976 --> 00:47:27,743
<i>That these animals consume
in the soil and water.</i>

1067
00:47:28,079 --> 00:47:31,547
<i>Just like with protein,
animals are only the middlemen.</i>

1068
00:47:31,883 --> 00:47:33,449
<i>Before industrial farming,</i>

1069
00:47:33,585 --> 00:47:35,952
<i>Farm animals and humans
could get b12</i>

1070
00:47:35,954 --> 00:47:38,054
<i>By eating traces of dirt
on plant foods</i>

1071
00:47:38,056 --> 00:47:40,890
<i>Or by drinking water
from rivers or streams.</i>

1072
00:47:40,892 --> 00:47:44,393
<i>But now, because pesticides,
antibiotics and chlorine</i>

1073
00:47:44,395 --> 00:47:46,796
<i>Kill the bacteria
that produce this vitamin,</i>

1074
00:47:46,798 --> 00:47:49,732
<i>Even farm animals have
to be given b12 supplements.</i>

1075
00:47:49,734 --> 00:47:52,034
<i>And up to 39 percent
of people tested,</i>

1076
00:47:52,036 --> 00:47:55,504
<i>Including meat eaters,
are low in b12.</i>

1077
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,842
<i>As a result, the best way
for humans to get enough b12,</i>

1078
00:47:59,844 --> 00:48:01,911
<i>Whether they eat animal foods
or not,</i>

1079
00:48:01,913 --> 00:48:03,946
<i>Is simply to take a supplement.</i>

1080
00:48:07,619 --> 00:48:09,452
<i>When I caught up with Scott
a full month</i>

1081
00:48:09,454 --> 00:48:11,053
<i>Into his 2200 mile trek,</i>

1082
00:48:11,222 --> 00:48:13,856
<i>He had fallen well
behind record pace.</i>

1083
00:48:14,726 --> 00:48:16,592
not even a week
into the journey,

1084
00:48:16,594 --> 00:48:18,861
I'd developed a quadricep tear.

1085
00:48:20,832 --> 00:48:22,798
I had to start thinking,
"okay, how am I going

1086
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,500
To get through this?"

1087
00:48:26,404 --> 00:48:28,037
There are no rest days
when you're setting

1088
00:48:28,039 --> 00:48:29,505
A speed record
on the Appalachian trail.

1089
00:48:29,507 --> 00:48:30,606
Let's do this!

1090
00:48:30,608 --> 00:48:31,707
I needed to recover

1091
00:48:31,876 --> 00:48:34,176
While I was still pushing
my body to the brink,

1092
00:48:34,412 --> 00:48:37,013
Waking up the next day,
and the next day after that

1093
00:48:37,015 --> 00:48:38,681
And doing the same thing.

1094
00:48:38,950 --> 00:48:40,983
I really had to trust
in my training

1095
00:48:40,985 --> 00:48:44,253
And trust in my nutrition
to help me get up each morning

1096
00:48:44,255 --> 00:48:47,056
At 4:30
and put another 50 miles in.

1097
00:48:47,992 --> 00:48:50,693
<i>With only 12 days left
to break the record,</i>

1098
00:48:50,695 --> 00:48:53,896
<i>Scott still had 550 miles left
to go.</i>

1099
00:48:58,236 --> 00:49:00,236
they were experiencing
record rainfall in Vermont

1100
00:49:00,238 --> 00:49:02,772
When I went through.
And there was just no way

1101
00:49:02,774 --> 00:49:04,540
That I could be prepared for it.

1102
00:49:05,977 --> 00:49:07,710
I was trying to make up
all the ground

1103
00:49:07,712 --> 00:49:09,345
That I had lost with the injury.

1104
00:49:09,781 --> 00:49:11,881
Trying to get back
on record pace,

1105
00:49:12,050 --> 00:49:14,483
Getting two to three hours
of sleep, or less,

1106
00:49:14,485 --> 00:49:16,018
Night after night, after night.

1107
00:49:16,854 --> 00:49:19,555
Going over some
of the most remote stretches,

1108
00:49:19,557 --> 00:49:21,590
I put in 26 hours straight.

1109
00:49:22,927 --> 00:49:24,994
But the Appalachian trail
keeps throwing

1110
00:49:24,996 --> 00:49:28,531
More and more mountains at you,
it never really lets up.

1111
00:49:29,968 --> 00:49:32,802
And by the time I actually got
to new Hampshire,

1112
00:49:33,271 --> 00:49:36,872
The white mountains just...
Obliterated me.

1113
00:49:42,447 --> 00:49:44,246
<i>With less
than two weeks remaining,</i>

1114
00:49:44,248 --> 00:49:46,949
<i>Patrik continued training
for his world record attempt,</i>

1115
00:49:46,951 --> 00:49:49,185
<i>To carry more weight
than anyone in history.</i>

1116
00:49:49,187 --> 00:49:50,987
I started lifting weights

1117
00:49:50,989 --> 00:49:52,521
When I was 14 years old,

1118
00:49:52,924 --> 00:49:54,190
Because I was kind of wimpy

1119
00:49:54,192 --> 00:49:55,891
And small...
...In that time.

1120
00:49:56,361 --> 00:49:58,694
And I wanted
to be some kind of hero,

1121
00:49:58,830 --> 00:50:00,830
Able to help
if something happened.

1122
00:50:01,099 --> 00:50:02,631
This is my mom and dad.

1123
00:50:05,903 --> 00:50:07,370
When I was four years old,

1124
00:50:07,739 --> 00:50:11,207
My dad, my mom
and my little sister,

1125
00:50:11,209 --> 00:50:15,411
She was six months old,
they were in a car accident.

1126
00:50:16,314 --> 00:50:17,380
And...

1127
00:50:18,216 --> 00:50:20,316
Only my mom survived
the accident.

1128
00:50:22,854 --> 00:50:24,587
So when I was young,
I had these fantasies

1129
00:50:24,589 --> 00:50:28,858
Of, uh, being super-strong,
and if someone got trapped,

1130
00:50:29,227 --> 00:50:31,227
Being able to help them get out.

1131
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,054
<i>For any guy watching
that day,</i>

1132
00:50:58,056 --> 00:51:00,189
<i>It wasn't just a car
patrik had crushed.</i>

1133
00:51:00,358 --> 00:51:03,059
<i>It was a myth they'd been fed
their entire lives.</i>

1134
00:51:03,594 --> 00:51:06,295
<i>steak.
That's what a man eats.</i>

1135
00:51:06,297 --> 00:51:07,763
<i>made from stuff guys need.</i>

1136
00:51:07,765 --> 00:51:09,365
<i>eat like a man, man.</i>

1137
00:51:09,734 --> 00:51:12,668
There is no one that can relate
to that better than I do

1138
00:51:12,670 --> 00:51:16,105
Because I've lived
in that world.

1139
00:51:16,774 --> 00:51:19,375
Steak... Is for men.

1140
00:51:19,644 --> 00:51:20,543
- Go meat!
- Go meat!

1141
00:51:20,545 --> 00:51:23,012
They show
these commercials, burgers,

1142
00:51:23,247 --> 00:51:25,281
- George foreman with the grill.
- Yeah!

1143
00:51:25,283 --> 00:51:27,450
And the big sandwiches
and all that stuff.

1144
00:51:27,452 --> 00:51:29,785
<i>Eat like a man
and be full like a man.</i>

1145
00:51:29,787 --> 00:51:33,255
This is great, great marketing
by the meat industry.

1146
00:51:33,257 --> 00:51:34,790
<i>Serious man food.</i>

1147
00:51:35,126 --> 00:51:38,294
Selling that idea
that real men eat meat.

1148
00:51:38,296 --> 00:51:40,062
<i>You'll look like more
of a man</i>

1149
00:51:40,064 --> 00:51:42,098
<i>With a quarter pounder
in your hand.</i>

1150
00:51:42,100 --> 00:51:44,100
But you've got to understand,
that's marketing.

1151
00:51:44,268 --> 00:51:46,202
That's not based on reality.

1152
00:51:47,405 --> 00:51:49,405
Okay, I'm gonna take you down
to the exam room.

1153
00:51:49,407 --> 00:51:51,607
When I think of a manly man,
I think of somebody

1154
00:51:51,609 --> 00:51:54,410
Who has strength, endurance,

1155
00:51:55,046 --> 00:51:58,180
Sexual prowess and fertility.
In fact,

1156
00:51:58,182 --> 00:52:00,082
What the scientific studies
are showing

1157
00:52:00,384 --> 00:52:03,419
Is that the more meat men eat,

1158
00:52:03,421 --> 00:52:06,722
The more quickly
they lose their manly manhood.

1159
00:52:07,158 --> 00:52:09,125
<i>The blood test
with the Miami dolphins</i>

1160
00:52:09,127 --> 00:52:11,427
<i>Measured how a single meal
could affect blood flow</i>

1161
00:52:11,429 --> 00:52:14,363
<i>Throughout the entire body.
I asked Dr. Spitz</i>

1162
00:52:14,365 --> 00:52:16,031
<i>If he could conduct
an experiment</i>

1163
00:52:16,033 --> 00:52:19,101
<i>With three collegiate athletes,
but this time,</i>

1164
00:52:19,103 --> 00:52:21,871
<i>On a more specific part
of the male anatomy.</i>

1165
00:52:22,206 --> 00:52:25,040
So...

1166
00:52:25,042 --> 00:52:26,342
...Here's a model of the penis.

1167
00:52:26,811 --> 00:52:29,612
<i>Dr. Spitz
is the lead delegate of urology</i>

1168
00:52:29,614 --> 00:52:31,480
<i>For the American
medical association.</i>

1169
00:52:31,649 --> 00:52:35,117
<i>When it comes to the penis,
he literally wrote the book.</i>

1170
00:52:35,353 --> 00:52:37,720
Now, you're gonna be putting
this device on yourself.

1171
00:52:37,989 --> 00:52:39,955
One ring goes on the base
of the penis,

1172
00:52:40,391 --> 00:52:44,326
And the other ring goes on
at the tip of the penis,

1173
00:52:44,328 --> 00:52:46,061
Just behind the head
of the penis.

1174
00:52:46,230 --> 00:52:49,431
It knows how tight to squeeze
to know

1175
00:52:49,567 --> 00:52:51,800
When an erection's starting,
because when it squeezes

1176
00:52:51,802 --> 00:52:55,237
It'll determine, "oh, it's now
of a larger circumference."

1177
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:56,338
Something's happening."

1178
00:52:56,541 --> 00:52:59,375
What we're going
to look at is what effect

1179
00:52:59,377 --> 00:53:02,511
The meal you have
has on your erections that night

1180
00:53:02,513 --> 00:53:05,281
And you're gonna be eating
two different kinds of meals.

1181
00:53:06,083 --> 00:53:07,583
For this study,
on the first night,

1182
00:53:07,585 --> 00:53:11,587
We gave the guys burritos
that had meat.

1183
00:53:11,856 --> 00:53:13,756
Beef, chicken, pork.

1184
00:53:14,125 --> 00:53:18,661
But really high quality meats,
grass-fed, organic.

1185
00:53:18,663 --> 00:53:19,895
On the second night,

1186
00:53:19,897 --> 00:53:22,031
We gave them
very similar burritos

1187
00:53:22,033 --> 00:53:24,633
But we swapped out
the animal portions

1188
00:53:24,635 --> 00:53:27,503
- For a plant-based protein.
- This is really good.

1189
00:53:27,505 --> 00:53:28,938
I thought
this was gonna be nasty,

1190
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:30,172
I'm not gonna lie.

1191
00:53:30,541 --> 00:53:31,907
I didn't think we were gonna eat
a burrito.

1192
00:53:31,909 --> 00:53:33,375
I thought we were gonna get
a salad.

1193
00:53:37,248 --> 00:53:39,148
This study
is gonna take advantage

1194
00:53:39,150 --> 00:53:41,283
Of a natural function

1195
00:53:41,485 --> 00:53:43,619
That occurs
in men when they sleep.

1196
00:53:44,188 --> 00:53:48,090
Men's bodies create erections,
and this occurs

1197
00:53:48,092 --> 00:53:50,693
Throughout the night
while the subject is asleep.

1198
00:53:51,162 --> 00:53:53,996
And once an erection happens,
this device can sense it

1199
00:53:53,998 --> 00:53:58,300
And a printout is generated
of how firm the erection was,

1200
00:53:58,302 --> 00:54:01,136
How long it lasted and how many
of them there were,

1201
00:54:01,539 --> 00:54:04,707
To see if we can see
a physical effect

1202
00:54:04,842 --> 00:54:06,475
On erections as a result

1203
00:54:06,477 --> 00:54:07,977
Of what they just ate
for dinner.

1204
00:54:08,779 --> 00:54:11,180
This is where we take a look
at the results.

1205
00:54:11,449 --> 00:54:13,582
So, mason, I'm gonna give you
your results first.

1206
00:54:13,584 --> 00:54:15,417
- Cool.
- -let you take those out.

1207
00:54:15,419 --> 00:54:16,919
- All right.
- okay?

1208
00:54:17,321 --> 00:54:20,623
The bigger the circumference,
the harder the erection,

1209
00:54:20,791 --> 00:54:22,258
And so you'll notice

1210
00:54:22,260 --> 00:54:25,361
That that first circle,
which is the-- the meat meal...

1211
00:54:25,363 --> 00:54:27,062
- mm-hmm.
- ...Is not as big

1212
00:54:27,064 --> 00:54:29,431
A circle is not as hard
an erection,

1213
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,735
As that second circle,
the vegan meal.

1214
00:54:33,037 --> 00:54:34,437
Now, let's look
at the second sheet.

1215
00:54:34,672 --> 00:54:36,572
- The second sheet is a-- a...
- oh, my god.

1216
00:54:36,574 --> 00:54:39,275
...Accumulation
of how many erections

1217
00:54:39,277 --> 00:54:42,011
And for how long you had
over the course of the night.

1218
00:54:42,213 --> 00:54:45,547
So that first stubby graph...

1219
00:54:46,017 --> 00:54:47,283
...Is really-- it's not the size

1220
00:54:47,285 --> 00:54:49,151
- Of your penis.
- I'm so dead. I'm struggling.

1221
00:54:49,153 --> 00:54:51,387
It's not the size
of your penis, it's how--

1222
00:54:51,389 --> 00:54:53,522
How many minutes
throughout the night

1223
00:54:53,524 --> 00:54:55,224
- You had erections.
- Wow.

1224
00:54:55,726 --> 00:54:57,326
Blake, let's take a look
at your results.

1225
00:54:57,328 --> 00:54:58,560
- Oh, no.
- Okay.

1226
00:54:58,562 --> 00:55:00,963
Hold composure. I'm ready.

1227
00:55:01,866 --> 00:55:03,432
- And, look, again...
- Yup.

1228
00:55:03,434 --> 00:55:06,635
...Like mason, uh,
you were more erect

1229
00:55:06,871 --> 00:55:09,505
After the plant-based diet
than the meat-based diet.

1230
00:55:09,507 --> 00:55:12,107
Okay, how about how often
you had erections.

1231
00:55:12,243 --> 00:55:13,575
- Oh-oh.
- Wow!

1232
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,447
That's almost
a 500 percent difference.

1233
00:55:18,449 --> 00:55:20,182
Dang, man. That's crazy.

1234
00:55:20,184 --> 00:55:21,517
Blake, are you ready
for yours?

1235
00:55:21,519 --> 00:55:23,585
- Give me the dossier.
- All right, here you go.

1236
00:55:25,423 --> 00:55:28,590
You had
about a 13 percent change

1237
00:55:28,592 --> 00:55:30,893
In the hardness
of your erections.

1238
00:55:31,295 --> 00:55:32,295
Okay, let's look at...

1239
00:55:32,830 --> 00:55:35,597
How many or how long
you had erections for.

1240
00:55:35,733 --> 00:55:39,535
Bro. oh, fuck!

1241
00:55:39,670 --> 00:55:41,570
- Show it, dang it!
- yeah.

1242
00:55:41,572 --> 00:55:45,641
Don't hold out. Oh!

1243
00:55:46,143 --> 00:55:49,878
Bro, that's an hour, bro.

1244
00:55:51,315 --> 00:55:55,984
So you guys all had
a very similar response

1245
00:55:56,587 --> 00:55:57,986
To the meat meal

1246
00:55:57,988 --> 00:56:00,823
- Versus the plant meal.
- that's crazy.

1247
00:56:00,825 --> 00:56:03,792
Yeah, like, growing up, if I saw
some big dude at a restaurant

1248
00:56:03,794 --> 00:56:05,994
Eating a big old steak
and it's all, like, "oh, I--"

1249
00:56:06,230 --> 00:56:07,830
I need to be like that."
and then, like, I see,

1250
00:56:07,832 --> 00:56:10,232
Like, a guy ordering a salad
off the menu, I'm, like...

1251
00:56:10,234 --> 00:56:12,368
- He's soft, right?
- Yeah, I'm like, "oh, that guy."

1252
00:56:12,370 --> 00:56:13,435
- "What's he doing?"
- yeah, he's soft.

1253
00:56:13,437 --> 00:56:14,636
But really at the end of night,

1254
00:56:14,638 --> 00:56:16,338
I think the guy eating
the big steak is soft,

1255
00:56:16,340 --> 00:56:19,808
And then the other guy is hard.

1256
00:56:19,810 --> 00:56:23,145
So, when you take your date out
on valentine's day,

1257
00:56:23,147 --> 00:56:24,480
Where are you gonna take them
to eat?

1258
00:56:24,482 --> 00:56:25,842
- To the veggie grill, son.
- okay,

1259
00:56:25,950 --> 00:56:27,583
- The veggie grill.
- Yeah, I was just thinking
about that.

1260
00:56:27,585 --> 00:56:29,885
Now,
this is not a scientifically

1261
00:56:29,887 --> 00:56:30,986
Validated study,

1262
00:56:30,988 --> 00:56:32,287
But the results
that we're seeing

1263
00:56:32,289 --> 00:56:33,422
Are very exciting.

1264
00:56:33,724 --> 00:56:37,226
I think this is going
to wake a lot of people up.

1265
00:56:37,428 --> 00:56:39,495
I think it's gonna
wake up people who have penises,

1266
00:56:39,497 --> 00:56:41,330
And I think it's gonna
wake up people who like people

1267
00:56:41,332 --> 00:56:42,598
Who have penises.

1268
00:56:44,101 --> 00:56:47,302
<i>While all this talk
about erections was interesting,</i>

1269
00:56:47,304 --> 00:56:49,238
<i>It also made me wonder
about hormones.</i>

1270
00:56:49,607 --> 00:56:51,940
<i>Specifically, testosterone.</i>

1271
00:56:52,610 --> 00:56:55,644
I've never eaten a piece
of meat in my entire life,

1272
00:56:55,646 --> 00:56:58,280
And I've never had an issue
with testosterone.

1273
00:56:58,282 --> 00:57:00,382
I've gotten blood tests
and all my levels

1274
00:57:00,384 --> 00:57:02,317
Are right where they need to be.

1275
00:57:02,319 --> 00:57:04,486
And clearly, I don't have
any trouble building muscle.

1276
00:57:04,955 --> 00:57:07,423
<i>Studies comparing men
who eat animal foods,</i>

1277
00:57:07,425 --> 00:57:10,225
<i>With men who don't,
have consistently demonstrated</i>

1278
00:57:10,227 --> 00:57:12,661
<i>No difference
in testosterone levels.</i>

1279
00:57:13,130 --> 00:57:14,696
<i>I found this hard to believe,</i>

1280
00:57:14,698 --> 00:57:17,199
<i>Since plant-based diets
often include soy products,</i>

1281
00:57:17,568 --> 00:57:20,669
<i>Which I'd always been told
were loaded with estrogen.</i>

1282
00:57:20,671 --> 00:57:22,337
I post a lot of my food

1283
00:57:22,339 --> 00:57:24,940
And if it includes any type
of soy products,

1284
00:57:24,942 --> 00:57:26,308
Out of a hundred comments,

1285
00:57:26,310 --> 00:57:28,544
You've got 20 to 30
of them saying,

1286
00:57:28,546 --> 00:57:31,647
"hey, well, I heard that soy
raises estrogen levels."

1287
00:57:31,649 --> 00:57:32,748
Well, that's not the case.

1288
00:57:32,750 --> 00:57:36,485
<i>Soy, it turns out,
contains phytoestrogens.</i>

1289
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,687
<i>Compounds that look
like estrogens</i>

1290
00:57:38,689 --> 00:57:40,689
<i>But can actually have
the opposite effect,</i>

1291
00:57:41,058 --> 00:57:43,559
<i>Blocking some of our bodies'
estrogen receptors</i>

1292
00:57:43,561 --> 00:57:46,228
<i>And preventing
real dietary sources of estrogen</i>

1293
00:57:47,798 --> 00:57:48,864
<i>From taking hold.</i>

1294
00:57:48,865 --> 00:57:49,931
<i>The foods
that contain real estrogens</i>

1295
00:57:49,934 --> 00:57:53,335
<i>Are animal foods, like chicken,
eggs, and dairy,</i>

1296
00:57:53,337 --> 00:57:55,370
<i>Which can have
a significant impact</i>

1297
00:57:55,372 --> 00:57:56,772
<i>On our hormone levels.</i>

1298
00:57:57,074 --> 00:57:58,474
<i>Simply drinking cow's milk</i>

1299
00:57:58,476 --> 00:58:00,542
<i>Can increase
a man's estrogen levels</i>

1300
00:58:00,544 --> 00:58:03,378
<i>By 26 percent in just one hour,</i>

1301
00:58:03,647 --> 00:58:05,848
<i>While dropping
their testosterone levels</i>

1302
00:58:05,850 --> 00:58:07,115
<i>By 18 percent.</i>

1303
00:58:07,418 --> 00:58:09,618
<i>Another hormone
strongly connected to diet</i>

1304
00:58:09,620 --> 00:58:13,322
<i>Is cortisol, a stress hormone
linked to reduced muscle mass</i>

1305
00:58:13,324 --> 00:58:15,057
<i>And increased body fat.</i>

1306
00:58:15,593 --> 00:58:18,694
<i>Research has shown that people
who replace animal foods</i>

1307
00:58:18,696 --> 00:58:20,662
<i>With high carbohydrate
plant foods</i>

1308
00:58:20,664 --> 00:58:23,098
<i>Experience an average drop
in cortisol levels</i>

1309
00:58:23,100 --> 00:58:24,833
<i>Of 27 percent.</i>

1310
00:58:25,636 --> 00:58:27,135
this is what
I always heard, like,

1311
00:58:27,137 --> 00:58:31,139
You can't go lean,
you can't go shredded, vegan.

1312
00:58:31,141 --> 00:58:32,541
Because you have so much carbs.

1313
00:58:33,043 --> 00:58:35,711
But I'm standing here
in the best shape of my life.

1314
00:58:38,315 --> 00:58:39,164
Easy.

1315
00:58:39,165 --> 00:58:40,014
<i>I already knew
that processed carbs</i>

1316
00:58:40,017 --> 00:58:42,918
<i>Like white flour and sugar
can lead to weight gain,</i>

1317
00:58:43,053 --> 00:58:44,353
<i>But what I didn't realize is</i>

1318
00:58:44,355 --> 00:58:46,722
<i>That unprocessed carbohydrates
like oats,</i>

1319
00:58:46,724 --> 00:58:48,657
<i>Bananas and sweet potatoes</i>

1320
00:58:48,792 --> 00:58:51,426
<i>Are associated
with decreased body fat.</i>

1321
00:58:55,599 --> 00:58:58,000
<i>An eight-week
weight-training trial also found</i>

1322
00:58:58,002 --> 00:59:00,402
<i>That those consuming
a normal amount of carbs</i>

1323
00:59:00,404 --> 00:59:02,871
<i>Gained 2.9 pounds
of muscle mass,</i>

1324
00:59:02,873 --> 00:59:04,540
<i>While those
in the low-carb group</i>

1325
00:59:04,542 --> 00:59:06,074
<i>Actually lost muscle.</i>

1326
00:59:06,577 --> 00:59:08,310
a typical bodybuilding diet

1327
00:59:08,312 --> 00:59:09,945
Is a very low carb diet,

1328
00:59:09,947 --> 00:59:13,181
So these guys that haven't had
a carb in two weeks,

1329
00:59:13,450 --> 00:59:15,450
They're walking around
like zombies.

1330
00:59:15,452 --> 00:59:18,353
I'm backstage eating
all the carbs that I want.

1331
00:59:18,689 --> 00:59:19,855
They're like, "how are you"

1332
00:59:19,990 --> 00:59:22,024
Eating that right now
and you look this shredded?"

1333
00:59:27,064 --> 00:59:28,764
<i>back in Nashville,</i>

1334
00:59:28,765 --> 00:59:30,465
<i>Derrick introduced me
to his wife charity,</i>

1335
00:59:30,467 --> 00:59:32,334
<i>A professional chef</i>

1336
00:59:32,335 --> 00:59:34,202
<i>Who had helped inspire
a big transformation.</i>

1337
00:59:34,204 --> 00:59:35,571
- hey...
- Nice to meet you.

1338
00:59:35,573 --> 00:59:37,172
When I started cooking
plant-based,

1339
00:59:37,174 --> 00:59:39,575
Whatever I made for dinner,
I made a bunch of it

1340
00:59:39,944 --> 00:59:40,842
And would send it over

1341
00:59:40,844 --> 00:59:42,844
To the facility for derrick
to eat for lunch.

1342
00:59:42,846 --> 00:59:46,615
Because I knew he had no options
other than a side salad.

1343
00:59:46,617 --> 00:59:49,484
You've seen derrick.
Do you think a side salad

1344
00:59:49,954 --> 00:59:51,320
Is gonna fill him up?

1345
00:59:51,555 --> 00:59:52,688
Yeah, I love to eat.

1346
00:59:53,090 --> 00:59:55,724
In the beginning I was like,
I gotta psych myself out

1347
00:59:55,726 --> 00:59:58,093
To say I don't care
about flavor anymore.

1348
00:59:58,495 --> 01:00:00,228
It wasn't really a sacrifice.

1349
01:00:00,664 --> 01:00:02,397
She was still cooking, you know,

1350
01:00:02,533 --> 01:00:05,133
Mac and cheese
and chicken wings.

1351
01:00:05,135 --> 01:00:06,735
Just plant based.

1352
01:00:07,638 --> 01:00:09,838
It's taking that love
that you have for food

1353
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,808
And just changing it over
to better ingredients.

1354
01:00:13,477 --> 01:00:15,010
And so I brought it
into the cafeteria

1355
01:00:15,012 --> 01:00:16,778
And I had teammates coming up
to me.

1356
01:00:16,780 --> 01:00:19,414
Guys were taking jabs
and cracking their jokes.

1357
01:00:19,583 --> 01:00:20,782
At the end of the day,

1358
01:00:20,784 --> 01:00:23,885
The reason why I was doing it
was to become a better player,

1359
01:00:23,887 --> 01:00:25,988
Which inevitably is gonna help
the team.

1360
01:00:25,990 --> 01:00:29,524
Players started looking over,
like, "okay, that smells good."

1361
01:00:29,793 --> 01:00:31,760
They were like, "whatever
you send derrick, send me."

1362
01:00:31,762 --> 01:00:33,395
And I was like,
"all right, good."

1363
01:00:33,597 --> 01:00:35,364
It started with five guys,

1364
01:00:35,599 --> 01:00:38,600
And now, middle of season,
13 players.

1365
01:00:38,869 --> 01:00:41,703
I never intended this
to be a business at all.

1366
01:00:41,939 --> 01:00:45,374
But the last 15 years,
we haven't been to the playoffs.

1367
01:00:45,376 --> 01:00:47,876
So I'm gonna do anything
that I could do

1368
01:00:47,878 --> 01:00:50,579
- To help this team.
- There she go. How you doing?

1369
01:00:50,581 --> 01:00:52,381
How you doing?
Hopefully you're hungry.

1370
01:00:52,383 --> 01:00:53,715
Oh, definitely.

1371
01:00:54,151 --> 01:00:55,517
Sundays are good.

1372
01:00:55,786 --> 01:00:58,120
After the game, me and--
and the guys

1373
01:00:58,122 --> 01:01:00,055
Are always looking forward
to meal time.

1374
01:01:01,625 --> 01:01:03,125
- How you doing?
- Hey, how you doing?

1375
01:01:03,127 --> 01:01:05,027
- You come with an empty stomach?
- Yeah.

1376
01:01:05,329 --> 01:01:07,496
There's some
good times in this kitchen.

1377
01:01:10,300 --> 01:01:11,700
These are plant based burgers.

1378
01:01:12,036 --> 01:01:15,037
Grill up, smell,
and taste like beef.

1379
01:01:15,973 --> 01:01:18,974
And I'm making
truffle mac and cheese,

1380
01:01:19,209 --> 01:01:20,776
Buffalo wings,

1381
01:01:21,111 --> 01:01:22,611
Kale Caesar salad,

1382
01:01:22,780 --> 01:01:26,548
Crispy Brussels sprouts
with a smoked sauce reduction,

1383
01:01:26,717 --> 01:01:28,984
And we'll finish off
with a peanut butter cheesecake.

1384
01:01:28,986 --> 01:01:30,385
- Mm.
- mm.

1385
01:01:30,387 --> 01:01:32,220
- Oh, yeah...
- yeah.

1386
01:01:32,890 --> 01:01:34,790
- Thank you, babe.
- thank you.

1387
01:01:34,958 --> 01:01:36,892
So you guys have
all eaten charity's meal plan

1388
01:01:36,894 --> 01:01:38,093
- That she's done?
- mm-hmm.

1389
01:01:38,095 --> 01:01:39,828
And before
what was your perception?

1390
01:01:39,830 --> 01:01:42,230
Well, I actually
talked bad about y'all

1391
01:01:42,232 --> 01:01:44,933
For like, a couple weeks.

1392
01:01:44,935 --> 01:01:46,835
Did you think you needed meat
to be like, strong and athletic?

1393
01:01:46,837 --> 01:01:48,570
Right, that's exactly
what I thought.

1394
01:01:48,872 --> 01:01:50,872
I told him, I feel like,
my whole childhood life

1395
01:01:50,874 --> 01:01:53,842
Was a lie.

1396
01:01:53,844 --> 01:01:55,844
I definitely thought
I was gonna miss it.

1397
01:01:55,846 --> 01:01:58,280
And honestly, I haven't even
thought about it again.

1398
01:01:58,282 --> 01:01:59,381
I feel more energized,

1399
01:01:59,383 --> 01:02:01,349
Feel stronger.
It was pretty dope.

1400
01:02:01,552 --> 01:02:02,851
And what about the taste?

1401
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:05,187
- It tastes really good.
- the meals

1402
01:02:05,189 --> 01:02:07,456
Were always looking good,
and I found myself sitting

1403
01:02:07,458 --> 01:02:09,157
In the locker staring at
what they eating.

1404
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:10,726
So, you know, I tried it

1405
01:02:10,728 --> 01:02:12,172
And honestly, I mean,
I felt a difference.

1406
01:02:12,196 --> 01:02:15,297
And, you know, I was just able
to just perform consistently.

1407
01:02:15,532 --> 01:02:18,100
Yeah, you caught
your first touchdown
after you switched over, right?

1408
01:02:18,102 --> 01:02:21,069
Yeah.

1409
01:02:25,109 --> 01:02:26,875
<i>Six months
into my new diet,</i>

1410
01:02:26,877 --> 01:02:29,344
<i>My strength,
endurance and recovery</i>

1411
01:02:29,346 --> 01:02:30,712
<i>Were better than ever.</i>

1412
01:02:31,281 --> 01:02:33,115
<i>My dad's health was on the mend.</i>

1413
01:02:33,817 --> 01:02:35,784
<i>Even my wife
and kids were on board.</i>

1414
01:02:37,454 --> 01:02:38,987
<i>But I was also pissed off.</i>

1415
01:02:39,256 --> 01:02:41,723
<i>Why didn't everyone know
about this?</i>

1416
01:02:42,526 --> 01:02:44,459
<i>And then, I remembered
my grandfather,</i>

1417
01:02:44,695 --> 01:02:47,395
<i>Who died of heart failure
at the age of 63</i>

1418
01:02:47,531 --> 01:02:49,564
<i>After more than four decades
of smoking.</i>

1419
01:02:50,567 --> 01:02:54,069
<i>A paratrooper in world war ii,
he got hooked on cigarettes</i>

1420
01:02:54,071 --> 01:02:56,204
<i>During a time when young people
like him</i>

1421
01:02:56,206 --> 01:02:57,572
<i>Were being sold the idea</i>

1422
01:02:57,574 --> 01:02:59,975
<i>That smoking was actually good
for you.</i>

1423
01:03:01,645 --> 01:03:03,278
<i>babe Ruth,
idol of millions...</i>

1424
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,163
<i>to sell this idea,</i>

1425
01:03:05,164 --> 01:03:07,047
<i>The tobacco industry turned
to famous athletes,</i>

1426
01:03:07,050 --> 01:03:09,518
<i>The ultimate symbols of fitness
and health.</i>

1427
01:03:10,220 --> 01:03:12,687
<i>after a game,
Carl Furillo of the Dodgers,</i>

1428
01:03:12,689 --> 01:03:15,657
<i>Looks for a mild cigarette.
A camel, of course.</i>

1429
01:03:15,659 --> 01:03:16,958
<i>but right around the time</i>

1430
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,161
<i>Babe Ruth died
from throat cancer</i>

1431
01:03:19,163 --> 01:03:20,095
<i>In his early 50's,</i>

1432
01:03:20,097 --> 01:03:22,564
<i>The scientific evidence
was starting stack up,</i>

1433
01:03:22,766 --> 01:03:24,933
<i>So, a new marketing plan
was required.</i>

1434
01:03:24,935 --> 01:03:26,835
<i>according
to this nationwide survey,</i>

1435
01:03:26,837 --> 01:03:30,539
<i>More doctors smoke camels
than any other cigarette.</i>

1436
01:03:30,674 --> 01:03:33,742
For years,
the tobacco industry said

1437
01:03:33,744 --> 01:03:36,478
That their cigarettes
did not cause cancer.

1438
01:03:36,780 --> 01:03:40,549
And they trotted out
their own paid researchers

1439
01:03:40,717 --> 01:03:43,985
To come out with statements
to confuse the issue.

1440
01:03:45,355 --> 01:03:46,822
<i>Despite their efforts...
- brought to you</i>

1441
01:03:46,824 --> 01:03:48,924
<i>- By Marlboro...
- ...Cigarette ads</i>

1442
01:03:48,926 --> 01:03:51,326
Were eventually banned
from sports broadcasting.

1443
01:03:52,062 --> 01:03:54,129
<i>Just in time
for another big industry</i>

1444
01:03:54,131 --> 01:03:57,132
<i>To step up to the plate
and start playing the same game.</i>

1445
01:03:57,134 --> 01:03:59,067
- What's in the bag?
- Big mac.

1446
01:03:59,469 --> 01:04:00,535
Play you for it.

1447
01:04:04,608 --> 01:04:05,908
<i>With a new generation
of athletes.</i>

1448
01:04:05,909 --> 01:04:07,209
<i>- Including me.</i>

1449
01:04:08,078 --> 01:04:10,145
<i>but it wasn't long
before the evidence</i>

1450
01:04:10,147 --> 01:04:12,948
<i>Against animal foods
started stacking up as well.</i>

1451
01:04:13,217 --> 01:04:16,751
Now, that playbook is being used
by the food industry.

1452
01:04:16,753 --> 01:04:19,254
She's
from the national cattlemen's

1453
01:04:19,256 --> 01:04:20,839
Beef association.

1454
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:22,423
They're gonna hire
their so-called experts...

1455
01:04:22,426 --> 01:04:24,726
<i>Well, I'm first of all,
a registered dietitian</i>

1456
01:04:24,728 --> 01:04:26,261
<i>And nutrition scientist
and I'm a mom.</i>

1457
01:04:26,263 --> 01:04:28,530
...To create
just enough confusion.

1458
01:04:28,532 --> 01:04:29,965
Are you saying
with processed meat

1459
01:04:29,967 --> 01:04:33,034
That it is not, in your view,
carcinogenic?

1460
01:04:33,036 --> 01:04:36,037
<i>I don't say that it supports
a sufficient relationship.</i>

1461
01:04:36,039 --> 01:04:37,372
and they make it seem

1462
01:04:37,374 --> 01:04:39,741
As though there's doubt
about what we're talking about.

1463
01:04:39,743 --> 01:04:42,143
<i>This is not a link,
a causal link</i>

1464
01:04:42,145 --> 01:04:45,380
<i>Between red and processed meat
and any type of cancer.</i>

1465
01:04:45,382 --> 01:04:49,084
But would you recommend
reducing meat intake?

1466
01:04:49,086 --> 01:04:51,753
<i>- No, not at all.</i>
- How on earth is the viewer

1467
01:04:51,755 --> 01:04:53,488
Supposed to make sense
of all of this?

1468
01:04:53,891 --> 01:04:55,957
<i>With overwhelming
scientific evidence</i>

1469
01:04:55,959 --> 01:04:57,192

<i>To many of
the most common deadly disease</i>

1471
01:04:59,429 --> 01:05:03,164
<i>I discovered that the meat,
dairy and egg industries</i>

1472
01:05:03,166 --> 01:05:05,133
<i>Have engaged
in a covert response,</i>

1473
01:05:05,435 --> 01:05:07,869
<i>Funding studies
that deny this evidence</i>

1474
01:05:07,871 --> 01:05:10,472
<i>While burying their involvement
in the fine print.</i>

1475
01:05:11,308 --> 01:05:13,975
<i>One of the hired guns paid
to conduct these studies</i>

1476
01:05:13,977 --> 01:05:15,577
<i>Is exponent incorporated,</i>

1477
01:05:15,579 --> 01:05:18,880
<i>A company whose research
was used by the tobacco industry</i>

1478
01:05:19,049 --> 01:05:21,683
<i>To deny the connection
between secondhand smoke</i>

1479
01:05:21,685 --> 01:05:22,784
<i>And cancer.</i>

1480
01:05:22,786 --> 01:05:26,988
<i>For more than 50 years,
exponent has generated studies</i>

1481
01:05:26,990 --> 01:05:29,858
<i>That challenge the health risks
of everything from asbestos,</i>

1482
01:05:30,060 --> 01:05:32,894
Arsenic, and mercury,
to animal foods.

1483
01:05:33,030 --> 01:05:36,998
The formula works beautifully
for people selling food.

1484
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,401
It works beautifully for people
selling drugs

1485
01:05:39,403 --> 01:05:41,937
To treat the diseases
that bad food causes.

1486
01:05:42,139 --> 01:05:44,639
And, it works beautifully
for the media,

1487
01:05:44,908 --> 01:05:48,576
Which can give us a new story
about diet every day.

1488
01:05:48,578 --> 01:05:50,011
Here we go again.

1489
01:05:50,013 --> 01:05:52,647
New guidelines are muddled
and confusing

1490
01:05:52,649 --> 01:05:54,215
And not by accident.

1491
01:05:54,217 --> 01:05:56,751
- Eggs are in.
- So happy about the eggs.

1492
01:05:56,753 --> 01:05:58,019
I know, I'm happy
about the eggs.

1493
01:05:58,021 --> 01:06:00,822
- Eating bacon is okay.
- absolutely!

1494
01:06:00,958 --> 01:06:03,258
- Okay. Butter?
- Butter. Butter is back.

1495
01:06:03,493 --> 01:06:06,728
But despite
the appearance in our media

1496
01:06:06,863 --> 01:06:08,330
Of confusion,

1497
01:06:08,532 --> 01:06:10,332
There is massive
global consensus

1498
01:06:10,334 --> 01:06:12,968
About the fundamentals
of a health promoting diet

1499
01:06:12,970 --> 01:06:16,004
And it's a diet that every time,

1500
01:06:16,139 --> 01:06:18,707
No matter whether it's high
in fat or low in fat,

1501
01:06:18,709 --> 01:06:20,008
Higher in carbs, lower in carbs,

1502
01:06:20,010 --> 01:06:22,644
In every population,
every kind of research,

1503
01:06:22,879 --> 01:06:26,247
It's a plant food
predominant diet, every time.

1504
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,988
<i>Just when I thought
I'd uncovered every dark secret</i>

Yeah.

There's only about 5,000
of them left on the planet.

1514
01:06:53,043 --> 01:06:55,276
They've basically been hunted
to extinction

1515
01:06:55,278 --> 01:06:57,345
Because of the value
of their horn.

1516

01:07:12,295 --> 01:07:15,130
<i>Of the international
anti-poaching foundation.</i>

1522
01:07:15,132 --> 01:07:16,631
the poacher will maybe
have an ax or a knife,

1523
01:07:16,633 --> 01:07:18,767
- So we're trying to disarm them.
- yeah, yeah.

1524
01:07:19,302 --> 01:07:22,203
So he's gonna thrust
with the knife.

1525
01:07:23,073 --> 01:07:25,140
Here.

1526
01:07:26,243 --> 01:07:28,843
We are the seal team six
of conservation.

1527
01:07:29,379 --> 01:07:33,081
We're the guys that go in
and stop the hemorrhaging.

1528
01:07:33,750 --> 01:07:36,451
- Okay?
- Yeah. I'll stick to my AK-47...

1529
01:07:36,453 --> 01:07:38,253
- Yeah.
- ...You stick to that.

1530
01:07:38,388 --> 01:07:41,456
I lived every young boys' dream,
jumping out of choppers,

1531
01:07:41,458 --> 01:07:43,992
Blowing shit up.
Stuff that most kids, uh,

1532
01:07:43,994 --> 01:07:46,027
Can only dream of doing
on a PlayStation.

1533
01:07:46,830 --> 01:07:49,230
I came to Africa
because I was looking

1534
01:07:49,232 --> 01:07:51,032
For the next six month
adventure.

1535
01:07:52,102 --> 01:07:54,869
I saw a bull elephant
that had had its face cut off,

1536
01:07:55,038 --> 01:07:56,404
Tusks that had been taken.

1537
01:07:56,406 --> 01:07:58,106
The whole elephant
sitting there dead

1538
01:07:58,275 --> 01:08:01,509
Because some guy wants to have
a tusk on his desk.

1539
01:08:01,845 --> 01:08:03,278
What sort of ambush
is this called?

1540
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:04,846
- Linear.
- Linear ambush. Very...

1541
01:08:05,115 --> 01:08:07,982
I had money and I had skills
that could help these rangers.

1542
01:08:07,984 --> 01:08:09,184
...Using the minimum amount

1543
01:08:09,186 --> 01:08:10,652
Of force required
to get the job done.

1544
01:08:10,654 --> 01:08:13,455
And I made the choice
to dedicate my life...

1545
01:08:14,157 --> 01:08:16,758
To helping these guys protect
these animals.

1546
01:08:24,734 --> 01:08:27,902
After making that choice,
though, I started to realize

1547
01:08:27,904 --> 01:08:30,405
That every day,
I was going out on patrol

1548
01:08:30,407 --> 01:08:33,842
And protecting one animal,
and coming home at night

1549
01:08:34,044 --> 01:08:36,244
And putting another animal
on the fire.

1550
01:08:36,947 --> 01:08:38,246
And I knew I was...

1551
01:08:39,282 --> 01:08:40,882
I knew I was full of shit.

1552
01:08:41,351 --> 01:08:43,351
I created this flexible morality

1553
01:08:43,587 --> 01:08:47,055
That was convenient for me,
because if you don't eat meat,

1554
01:08:47,057 --> 01:08:48,990
You're some sort of vegan
that shrivels up

1555
01:08:48,992 --> 01:08:50,091
Into a string bean.

1556
01:08:50,694 --> 01:08:53,161
In my mind I justified it,
there's enough cows

1557
01:08:53,163 --> 01:08:55,029
On the planet.
They're not gonna go extinct.

1558
01:08:55,365 --> 01:08:56,631
But the longer I thought
about it,

1559
01:08:56,633 --> 01:09:00,502
The more I started to accept
what I already knew.

1560
01:09:00,804 --> 01:09:03,037
The easiest way
to protect other animals

1561
01:09:03,039 --> 01:09:05,540
Is just not to put them
in your mouth.

1562
01:09:07,043 --> 01:09:09,310
This whole fantasy
that we need meat

1563
01:09:09,312 --> 01:09:12,013
To get our protein,
it's actually bullshit.

1564
01:09:12,282 --> 01:09:13,548
I mean, look at a gorilla.

1565
01:09:13,550 --> 01:09:15,783
A gorilla will fuck you up
in two seconds.

1566
01:09:15,785 --> 01:09:17,886
What does a gorilla eat?

1567
01:09:18,255 --> 01:09:19,454
I just do the same things

1568
01:09:19,456 --> 01:09:21,222
As these big gray things
out here

1569
01:09:21,224 --> 01:09:23,358
That we're trying to protect,
elephant and rhino.

1570
01:09:23,994 --> 01:09:26,594
I just, uh, stick to plants.

1571
01:09:30,700 --> 01:09:32,066
The rangers that we support

1572
01:09:32,202 --> 01:09:34,335
Patrol five million acres
of wilderness

1573
01:09:34,337 --> 01:09:36,604
Protecting
these endangered species.

1574
01:09:38,441 --> 01:09:41,910
But the actual biggest threat
we have is the meat industry,

1575
01:09:42,345 --> 01:09:44,846
And the land that
they are continually taking away

1576
01:09:45,482 --> 01:09:47,815
From what we have left
of these natural...

1577
01:09:48,718 --> 01:09:50,084
Wilderness areas.

1578
01:09:50,987 --> 01:09:54,322
Inch by inch, yard by yard,
mile by mile.

1579
01:10:03,166 --> 01:10:06,234
About three-quarters
of all the agricultural land

1580
01:10:06,369 --> 01:10:09,871
In the world, is used
for livestock production,

1581
01:10:10,006 --> 01:10:14,209
And it imposes a huge cost
on biodiversity.

1582
01:10:14,211 --> 01:10:16,978
And what is the single
biggest source

1583
01:10:16,980 --> 01:10:18,413
Of habitat destruction?

1584
01:10:18,648 --> 01:10:21,115
It's the livestock sector.

1585
01:10:21,117 --> 01:10:24,619
<i>Meat, dairy, egg
and fish farming</i>

1586
01:10:24,621 --> 01:10:27,222
<i>Use 83 percent
of the world's farmland,</i>

1587
01:10:27,624 --> 01:10:31,125
<i>Yet provide only 18 percent
of the world's calories.</i>

1588
01:10:31,428 --> 01:10:35,029
<i>The reason livestock require
so much land is because,</i>

1589
01:10:35,031 --> 01:10:37,765
<i>Once again, animals are just
the middlemen,</i>

1590
01:10:37,901 --> 01:10:39,434
<i>Consuming on average,</i>

1591
01:10:39,436 --> 01:10:42,303
<i>Six times more protein
than they produce.</i>

1592
01:10:43,306 --> 01:10:45,406
<i>With more
than 70 billion animals</i>

1593
01:10:45,408 --> 01:10:46,874
<i>Consumed globally each year,</i>

1594
01:10:46,876 --> 01:10:50,144
<i>Growing animal feed
requires vast amounts of land,</i>

1595
01:10:50,380 --> 01:10:52,113
<i>Making it one
of the leading drivers</i>

1596
01:10:52,115 --> 01:10:53,548
<i>Of deforestation.</i>

1597
01:10:54,417 --> 01:10:56,951
<i>It also requires huge amounts
of water.</i>

1598
01:10:57,554 --> 01:10:59,988
Meat plays
a disproportionately large role

1599
01:10:59,990 --> 01:11:02,490
In causing this overuse
of freshwater.

1600
01:11:02,792 --> 01:11:05,893
Twenty-five percent
of the rivers in the world

1601
01:11:05,895 --> 01:11:08,329
No longer reach the ocean,
because we're taking out

1602
01:11:08,331 --> 01:11:10,898
So much water
to produce animal feed.

1603
01:11:11,201 --> 01:11:13,968
Water has been fed
into the grain

1604
01:11:13,970 --> 01:11:15,837
That's been fed to the cattle.

1605
01:11:16,306 --> 01:11:19,040
The cattle's been made
into beef.

1606
01:11:19,743 --> 01:11:24,846
One hamburger is 2400 liters
of embedded water.

1607
01:11:25,115 --> 01:11:26,948
That's a heck of a lot of water.

1608
01:11:27,250 --> 01:11:29,217
<i>All told,
more than a quarter</i>

1609
01:11:29,219 --> 01:11:31,386
<i>Of humanity's
fresh water consumption goes</i>

1610
01:11:31,388 --> 01:11:32,920
<i>To produce animal foods.</i>

1611
01:11:33,256 --> 01:11:35,757
<i>And it's not just
water depletion that's an issue,</i>

1612
01:11:36,059 --> 01:11:37,825
<i>It's also water pollution.</i>

1613
01:11:38,695 --> 01:11:40,728
<i>In the united states,
for example,</i>

1614
01:11:40,730 --> 01:11:44,198
<i>Farm animals produce nearly
50 times more waste per year</i>

1615
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:46,267
<i>Than its entire
human population,</i>

1616
01:11:46,603 --> 01:11:49,937
<i>Polluting rivers, lakes
and groundwater</i>

1617
01:11:49,939 --> 01:11:51,372
<i>All across the country.</i>

1618
01:11:52,409 --> 01:11:54,676
The livestock sector
is responsible

1619
01:11:54,678 --> 01:11:58,946
For 15 percent
of global man-made emissions.

1620
01:11:59,082 --> 01:12:00,815
So to put that in perspective,

1621
01:12:01,084 --> 01:12:03,851
That's about the same
as all the emissions

1622
01:12:03,853 --> 01:12:07,455
From all the forms of transport
in the world, all the planes,

1623
01:12:07,457 --> 01:12:11,292
Trains, cars, vans,
and ships all added up.

1624
01:12:11,795 --> 01:12:14,395
Agriculture is not only
the biggest culprit

1625
01:12:14,531 --> 01:12:17,632
Threatening the future
for humanity on earth,

1626
01:12:17,934 --> 01:12:19,267
It is also the biggest

1627
01:12:19,402 --> 01:12:22,103
And most important silver bullet
to a solution.

1628
01:12:22,672 --> 01:12:24,572
<i>In the us,
where meat consumption</i>

1629
01:12:24,574 --> 01:12:26,708
<i>Is three times
the global average,</i>

1630
01:12:26,710 --> 01:12:28,743
<i>Shifting away
from an animal-based diet</i>

1631
01:12:28,745 --> 01:12:30,812
<i>Would reduce
agricultural emissions</i>

1632
01:12:30,814 --> 01:12:32,380
<i>By up to 73 percent</i>

1633
01:12:32,515 --> 01:12:37,018
<i>And save one million liters
of water per person, per year.</i>

1634
01:12:37,420 --> 01:12:40,188
<i>Globally, this shift
would free up a total area</i>

1635
01:12:40,190 --> 01:12:41,789
<i>Of land the size of Africa,</i>

1636
01:12:41,791 --> 01:12:43,725
<i>Taking pressure off many
of the world's</i>

1637
01:12:43,727 --> 01:12:46,627
<i>Most endangered ecosystems
and species.</i>

1638
01:12:47,330 --> 01:12:50,098
The message is overwhelming,
both for public health

1639
01:12:50,100 --> 01:12:53,501
And environmental reasons.
The more plants you can eat

1640
01:12:53,503 --> 01:12:56,471
And the less meat and dairy
you can consume, the better.

1641
01:12:58,575 --> 01:13:00,575
<i>After learning
how much is at stake</i>

1642
01:13:00,577 --> 01:13:02,510
<i>If we don't change the way
we eat,</i>

1643
01:13:02,712 --> 01:13:05,246
<i>I went back to Brooklyn
to find some hope.</i>

1644
01:13:05,548 --> 01:13:07,749
- How are you doing
with the weight?
- It's good.

1645
01:13:08,551 --> 01:13:09,617
It's good.

1646
01:13:10,186 --> 01:13:13,054
- One-thirty over 80.
- Yeah, see?

1647
01:13:13,056 --> 01:13:14,455
Did you do it right

1648
01:13:14,457 --> 01:13:16,290
- The whole seven days?
- Yeah, the entire time.

1649
01:13:16,292 --> 01:13:17,658
- You did? Good for you.
- Yeah.

1650
01:13:17,660 --> 01:13:19,427
After eating a meal,
I didn't feel like,

1651
01:13:19,429 --> 01:13:21,796
"oh, I gotta go find a couch
to sit on or lay down."

1652
01:13:21,798 --> 01:13:23,564
- Like, that I actually
felt energized...
- Right. Right.

1653
01:13:23,566 --> 01:13:25,299
...And I could jump
on the bicycle

1654
01:13:25,301 --> 01:13:26,501
Or go on the treadmill

1655
01:13:26,503 --> 01:13:28,202
- Or something.
- Or fight a fire.

1656
01:13:28,738 --> 01:13:30,271
She said
it was down 11.

1657
01:13:30,273 --> 01:13:31,706
- Eleven pounds?
- Yeah.

1658
01:13:31,941 --> 01:13:34,976
Your cholesterol was 262.

1659
01:13:35,111 --> 01:13:37,845
- Right.
- All right? Which is elevated,

1660
01:13:37,847 --> 01:13:39,692
- Much higher than we wanna be.
- Right. Mm-hmm.

1661
01:13:39,716 --> 01:13:44,652
- Today? A 176.
- Wow! Almost a 100 points, huh?

1662
01:13:44,654 --> 01:13:46,287
- That's fantastic!
- Yeah.

1663
01:13:47,824 --> 01:13:49,824
- Thank you.
- on your blood pressure,

1664
01:13:49,826 --> 01:13:51,826
You dropped 16.

1665
01:13:51,828 --> 01:13:53,394
- Wow. That's really good.
- on your systolic,

1666
01:13:53,396 --> 01:13:56,431
And two on your diastolic,
so you're now 130 over 82

1667
01:13:56,433 --> 01:13:58,166
As opposed to 146 over 84.

1668
01:13:58,168 --> 01:14:00,101
- Fantastic. Little bump there.
- Yeah!

1669
01:14:01,037 --> 01:14:03,604
Your cholesterol was 276.

1670
01:14:03,807 --> 01:14:05,673
I mean, you know that
that's super-elevated, right?

1671
01:14:05,675 --> 01:14:07,975
- Yeah, they were freaking out.
- They were freaking out?

1672
01:14:07,977 --> 01:14:09,977
- At the doctor's office.
- Well, you know what?

1673
01:14:09,979 --> 01:14:14,515
They should be freaking out now,
because today was 169.

1674
01:14:14,517 --> 01:14:17,418
Whoa! Now you're talking!

1675
01:14:17,420 --> 01:14:21,756
- One-sixty-nine?
- You dropped 107 points, my man.

1676
01:14:21,758 --> 01:14:22,824
That's amazing.

1677
01:14:24,894 --> 01:14:26,360
Here's what we got.

1678
01:14:26,529 --> 01:14:29,464
After seven days,
the cholesterol average drop

1679
01:14:29,466 --> 01:14:31,132
Was 21 points.

1680
01:14:31,301 --> 01:14:34,168
The average weight loss
was 6.12 pounds.

1681
01:14:34,304 --> 01:14:36,804
You guys,
instead of having arteries

1682
01:14:36,806 --> 01:14:39,106
That looked
like this here, right?

1683
01:14:39,275 --> 01:14:42,376
You guys are on the road
to having arteries

1684
01:14:42,378 --> 01:14:43,678
That look like this here.

1685
01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:46,614
And we know
that the number one killer

1686
01:14:46,616 --> 01:14:48,916
Of in the line
of duty firefighters

1687
01:14:49,052 --> 01:14:53,454
Is heart attacks.
This is a food created disease

1688
01:14:53,790 --> 01:14:58,426
And you guys don't have to be
another statistic.

1689
01:14:59,362 --> 01:15:01,429
My doctor wanted to put me
on a statin,

1690
01:15:01,931 --> 01:15:04,098
And I kind of looked at it
like that was...

1691
01:15:04,434 --> 01:15:05,867
Like cheating,
like an easy way out

1692
01:15:05,869 --> 01:15:08,836
And there has to be a healthier,
more long term alternative.

1693
01:15:08,972 --> 01:15:11,806
And then, when this opportunity
presented itself...

1694
01:15:12,809 --> 01:15:13,908
I took it.

1695
01:15:14,544 --> 01:15:16,177
When you eat
a healthy, whole foods,

1696
01:15:16,179 --> 01:15:19,180
Plant-based diet, it changes
the expression of your genes.

1697
01:15:19,182 --> 01:15:21,916
It turns on the good genes,
turns off the bad genes.

1698
01:15:22,218 --> 01:15:23,885
Your genes are a predisposition,

1699
01:15:23,887 --> 01:15:25,419
But your genes
are not your fate.

1700
01:15:25,922 --> 01:15:27,722
And even if your mother
and your father

1701
01:15:27,724 --> 01:15:29,991
And aunts and uncles
all died of diabetes,

1702
01:15:29,993 --> 01:15:31,425
Cancer, even heart disease,

1703
01:15:31,427 --> 01:15:33,160
It doesn't mean
that you need to.

1704
01:15:36,666 --> 01:15:39,333
Once I get to here,
I'm gonna come up,

1705
01:15:39,569 --> 01:15:41,602
And I'm gonna drop my head
on his face.

1706
01:15:41,771 --> 01:15:43,504
<i>With help from my new diet,</i>

1707
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:45,573
<i>I fully recovered
from my injuries,</i>

1708
01:15:45,575 --> 01:15:47,808
<i>And I'm back
to teaching self-defense.</i>

1709
01:15:48,344 --> 01:15:50,711
Or I could chop here
and start to come here.

1710
01:15:50,713 --> 01:15:52,747
<i>But with a critical
new component...</i>

1711
01:15:53,182 --> 01:15:55,182
<i>- internal defense.</i>

1712
01:15:55,184 --> 01:15:58,719
You can get improved blood flow.
That allows more oxygen,

1713
01:15:58,721 --> 01:16:01,255
More nutrients to the muscles.
And it's not just the...

1714
01:16:01,257 --> 01:16:02,890
<i>Armed with the truth
in nutrition,</i>

1715
01:16:03,092 --> 01:16:06,193
<i>I now have the tools
to help protect more lives</i>

1716
01:16:06,195 --> 01:16:07,695
<i>Than ever before.</i>

1717
01:16:08,231 --> 01:16:09,897
- It's good. Yeah.
- Is it?

1718
01:16:12,602 --> 01:16:15,903
Anybody else got
a fiver now?

1719
01:16:16,172 --> 01:16:18,306
Anybody else got a fiver now?

1720
01:16:22,278 --> 01:16:24,679
James! Good to see you.

1721
01:16:25,648 --> 01:16:27,114
How are you feeling now?

1722
01:16:27,116 --> 01:16:28,182
Very good.

1723
01:16:28,184 --> 01:16:31,652
The figure that I read,
it was 85 percent likelihood

1724
01:16:31,654 --> 01:16:33,120
Of your first attack...

1725
01:16:34,290 --> 01:16:35,723
And that kills you.

1726
01:16:37,193 --> 01:16:38,726
That's a high percentage...

1727
01:16:39,295 --> 01:16:40,761
Which makes me feel...

1728
01:16:41,798 --> 01:16:42,663
Very blessed.

1729
01:16:42,665 --> 01:16:46,400
<i>♪ Happy birthday
dear pops ♪</i>

1730
01:16:46,402 --> 01:16:49,503
<i>♪ happy birthday to you ♪</i>

1731
01:16:49,505 --> 01:16:51,105
Thank you.

1732
01:16:52,575 --> 01:16:54,976
We've gone down
the vegan route.

1733
01:16:55,545 --> 01:16:57,712
And we now have soy milk.

1734
01:16:58,014 --> 01:17:00,748
Marsha makes sure
I have my vegetables,

1735
01:17:00,950 --> 01:17:02,483
Insists on it now.

1736
01:17:03,186 --> 01:17:05,386
- How old are you?
- seventy-one.

1737
01:17:05,688 --> 01:17:06,954
- Seventy-one.
- mm.

1738
01:17:06,956 --> 01:17:09,256
- I'm one!
- And glad to be here.

1739
01:17:11,394 --> 01:17:14,261
What's up,
what's good with ya?

1740
01:17:14,263 --> 01:17:17,164
<i>Bruce lee understood
that the quest for truth</i>

1741
01:17:17,166 --> 01:17:19,233
<i>Is only useful</i>

1742
01:17:19,234 --> 01:17:21,301
<i>If you're prepared
to take action on what you find.</i>

1743
01:17:21,704 --> 01:17:23,571
It's best to lead
by example.

1744
01:17:24,007 --> 01:17:26,173
Most people say,
"oh, I just can't become vegan."

1745
01:17:26,175 --> 01:17:27,875
I said, "you're right.
It's a process to it."

1746
01:17:27,877 --> 01:17:30,011
I'll give you guys
some vegan chocolates.

1747
01:17:30,013 --> 01:17:31,445
People have this idea
in their head

1748
01:17:31,447 --> 01:17:32,647
That if they're gonna
do something,

1749
01:17:32,649 --> 01:17:35,383
It's an all or nothing approach
and that's not the case at all.

1750
01:17:35,385 --> 01:17:38,753
If you go to people and say,
"you must stop eating meat."

1751
01:17:38,755 --> 01:17:40,021
They'll say, "fuck you."

1752
01:17:40,023 --> 01:17:42,256
Who the fuck are you
to tell me how to eat?"

1753
01:17:42,258 --> 01:17:45,359
But if you explain it and say,
"hey, why don't you try

1754
01:17:45,895 --> 01:17:48,996
Once a week,
just chill it with the meat."

1755
01:17:49,999 --> 01:17:53,134
Fifty years ago,
no one talked about, "hey",

1756
01:17:53,136 --> 01:17:56,504
Maybe you should just get
your protein from vegetables."

1757
01:17:56,773 --> 01:18:01,876
But now, there is many,
many athletes,

1758
01:18:03,746 --> 01:18:05,079
Professional athletes
in all kinds

1759
01:18:05,081 --> 01:18:09,283
Of different sports,
that have done extremely well,

1760
01:18:10,386 --> 01:18:12,620
Staying away from animals foods.

1761
01:18:13,990 --> 01:18:17,558
Lewis Hamilton
wins the German grand prix!

1762
01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:18,926
We all wanna feel great.

1763
01:18:19,062 --> 01:18:20,828
We all wanna look great,
have more energy.

1764
01:18:21,164 --> 01:18:23,397
The most important thing
is about having the right fuel

1765
01:18:23,399 --> 01:18:24,632
In your body.

1766
01:18:24,634 --> 01:18:25,866
I can't remember feeling
this great

1767
01:18:25,868 --> 01:18:27,368
In my whole 32 years of my life.

1768
01:18:29,872 --> 01:18:32,206
At the 20,
comes back to the 15,

1769
01:18:32,208 --> 01:18:33,507
And Matthews goes,

1770
01:18:33,509 --> 01:18:36,444
Opening play touchdown
for the titans!

1771
01:18:36,879 --> 01:18:38,546
And I don't ever remember

1772
01:18:38,548 --> 01:18:41,882
A comeback like this.
This is unreal!

1773
01:18:42,051 --> 01:18:44,251
This was our best season
in the last 15 years.

1774
01:18:44,487 --> 01:18:47,688
Sacked
by Orakpo and Derrick Morgan.

1775
01:18:47,924 --> 01:18:50,658
And we had about 14 guys
on plant-based diets.

1776
01:18:50,660 --> 01:18:53,594
Jurrell Casey. Brian Orakpo!

1777
01:18:54,130 --> 01:18:55,730
Bright spot in this game

1778
01:18:55,732 --> 01:18:57,565
Was this titans defense.

1779
01:18:58,000 --> 01:18:59,467
Oh, my goodness!

1780
01:18:59,602 --> 01:19:01,469
Double digit sacks

1781
01:19:01,471 --> 01:19:02,837
For derrick Morgan.

1782
01:19:02,839 --> 01:19:05,172
He had his best season
of his career.

1783
01:19:05,308 --> 01:19:08,175
Titans
on their way to the playoffs.

1784
01:19:08,444 --> 01:19:09,810
We did it, baby!

1785
01:19:10,279 --> 01:19:12,580
And the playoff win
on my birthday was, probably,

1786
01:19:12,582 --> 01:19:14,215
The pinnacle of my career
so far.

1787
01:19:14,217 --> 01:19:16,517
Everybody's talked
about the defensive line

1788
01:19:16,519 --> 01:19:17,752
And this diet.

1789
01:19:18,788 --> 01:19:21,255
It was the burritos.
It was the breakfast burritos.

1790
01:19:21,424 --> 01:19:24,191
That's what it was.
That'll get you to the playoffs.

1791
01:19:34,303 --> 01:19:36,570
<i>By the time
Scott reached Mount Katahdin,</i>

1792
01:19:36,973 --> 01:19:38,639
<i>Word of his perseverance</i>

1793
01:19:38,641 --> 01:19:40,407
<i>Was bringing people out
in droves.</i>

1794
01:19:46,115 --> 01:19:49,984
<i>But after 46 days
and nearly 2200 miles,</i>

1795
01:19:49,986 --> 01:19:53,154
<i>Scott had only a few hours left
to break the record.</i>

1796
01:19:54,724 --> 01:19:57,992
this will be the heaviest weight
that anyone has ever carried

1797
01:19:57,994 --> 01:20:02,329
On their shoulders. Patrik
will be attempting 555 kilos,

1798
01:20:02,565 --> 01:20:05,733
Which is 1,224 pounds.

1799
01:20:05,735 --> 01:20:08,369
This is an official
Guinness world record.

1800
01:20:10,173 --> 01:20:13,140
The potential
of the human body is immense.

1801
01:20:14,610 --> 01:20:16,944
You can come out
of some of the deepest,

1802
01:20:16,946 --> 01:20:20,481
Darkest holes
if you keep pressing forward.

1803
01:20:21,851 --> 01:20:24,218
I'm gonna do this. Whoa!

1804
01:20:31,427 --> 01:20:32,860
Here we go!

1805
01:20:33,529 --> 01:20:35,196
World record attempt!

1806
01:20:35,431 --> 01:20:37,231
<i>Scott Jurek is one

<i>His latest quest,

1810

1811
01:20:48,077 --> 01:20:50,377
<i>...Eight hours

1812
01:20:51,214 --> 01:20:54,415
<i>three hours faster

1813
01:21:13,736 --> 01:21:16,303
Yeah!

1814
01:21:19,375 --> 01:21:20,875

Yeah!

I did it!

1817
01:21:25,982 --> 01:21:29,216
It's not about being
the strongest and the biggest.

1818
01:21:30,419 --> 01:21:31,852
It's really about

1832
01:22:12,695 --> 01:22:14,595
I basically start my day

1833
01:22:14,597 --> 01:22:17,064
With a big, big, big smoothie.

1834
01:22:17,066 --> 01:22:21,869
Some greens in it, like, kale
or spinach, some beet protein.

1835
01:22:23,239 --> 01:22:24,672
Pancakes really
at the top

1836
01:22:24,674 --> 01:22:26,373
'cause I like breakfast food,
anytime.

01:22:28,277 --> 01:22:30,878
I love my toast
with peanut butter.

1839
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:32,913
Lunch, I would make
a veggie burger.

1840
01:22:32,915 --> 01:22:34,815
Avocados
are really big one for me.

1842
01:22:35,918 --> 01:22:37,318
A big salad
with veggies,

1843
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:39,920
Quinoa rice,
I call it the trough bowl.

1844
01:22:39,922 --> 01:22:43,157
And then at dinner, anything
from Japanese to Mexican.

1845
01:22:43,292 --> 01:22:46,760
I love Indian food,
and also Thai curry.

1846
01:22:46,896 --> 01:22:48,329
Really just--
I like pizza.

1847
01:22:48,331 --> 01:22:50,531
If I'm about to just chow down,
like really get it,

1848
01:22:50,533 --> 01:22:53,200
- Man, a lasagna.
- If you like chicken nuggets,

1849
01:22:53,336 --> 01:22:55,970
Okay, they have vegan nuggets.
If you like meatballs,

1850
01:22:56,138 --> 01:22:57,738
They got vegan meatballs.

1851
01:22:57,907 --> 01:23:01,342
A lot of pizza, pasta
and burgers.

1852
01:23:01,777 --> 01:23:03,444
Sometimes even at the same time.
