hi there Justin Lord from paleo diet in a box calm author and creator of paleo no box nutrition system now firstly i'm going to apologize for the music i'm here at the box people are working out its open gym so please excuse the noise there but what I wanted to come today was I've had so many emails and calls and texts and also any questions on the Facebook page saying what the hell is paleo in a box well firstly it is not a nutrition system where we deliver food to your door in a box that you can wipe out straightaway what it is is actually a nutrition system an education system for athletes or what athletes that so it is specific to you now what's the difference between learning from us or me as opposed to any other paleo information out there well firstly it's a modular system it comes in different formats it's an mp4 mp3 so you can play this all back on your tablet on your mobiles or your iPods it's so simple and it's so easy people are telling me they're plugging in the earphones in the car and then listening to this on their way to work to really get that information ingrained into them secondly it's fed to you or Rickford to you in a sequence and the reason that we do that is because if you think back to when you bought yourself a book what do you do you head straight to the points that you want to find out straight away now what I wanted to do was go against that drip feed that information to you in a modular format so that you are told the underlying and foundation information that you need to know to make this a habit of a lifestyle now like I said it's modular we go through all of the fundamentals of paleo nutrition the proteins the fats the carbs are also record an energy thruster module pre and post what module and the reason that armed system is completely different to any other paleo system out there is that this covers all of the energy that you need to fuel those workouts and also the pre and post war nutrition this is where we deviate from standard paleo and standard paleo information out there and we rocket your performance to improve your fitness your health your performance and also your body composition to make you bitter stronger and faster there's so much information that pertains to you it is a amazing performance program and people are getting superb results so why not take a look around this video I'm sure you're going to find a link somewhere that's going to take you to a page where you can learn more about this amazing system and look at the testimonials where people are getting some amazing results on this justice system hitting pr's it is strength pr's and guad pr's they are smashing it I'll see you somewhere on the website soon you .

What is a Paleo diet, a Paleo diet is a diet that will help you lose weight faster than you have ever before. Learn more about what is a Paleo diet
Maybe you have actually heard of some individuals "consuming like cavemen" and shudder to think exactly what type of foods hey absorb. But that's unfair to right away conclude that Paleo diet
is consuming like a crude neanderthal. First of all, let's know exactly what Paleo diet suggests? The word Paleo originates
from the word Paleolithic that was ended for around 10000 ago. It is called Paleo due to the fact that the meals or permit us
say way of living in this sort of diet plan are normally discovered during the Paleolithic age. This is likewise called as the
diet plan of hunter gatherer, neanderthal, or the stone-age world.

a couple pork chops here they're not super thick but they're thick enough to get a sear on them but still have them be moist in the middle we are gonna pair that with some balsamic braised red cabbage and there's some caramelized apple and onion yeah it's kind of like that you can use this more like a paring knife and start around the top right I'll do the same thing on the bottom and then good way to attack it and then over here I'm gonna get after the cabbage and I'm gonna start that I got three slices of bacon I'm just gonna put a little oil in this pan preheated cast-iron skillet get my Bacon's on we got some garlic here when the knife is a quickly that's a good I guarantee that's gonna smell yeah bacon fat and garlic so olive oil after that we'll add a little onion going in there very nice I'm gonna cut flat here kind of get rid of that that that looking good so there's no seeds in there I'm just gonna take these okay got that apples are good no do you think this is sugar in apples a little bit so what we're going to do is draw those sugar out and caramelize apples we've got this pan going here make it hot go those out for you right what's up I'm like and all that cabbage the war oil pepper little throw some salt on top of this cabbage here back trapped in that moisture well this is really where the brave begins once we start to contain some of the moisture it will help break down the cabbage there we go so your job to kind of keep an eye on this cat as soon as you get our apples caramelized the point that we like them we'll just set them aside on a plate and then we'll hit up the onion you take a look at the cabbage okay go ahead and give that a stir she always started to break down a little bit we get some bleeding of the color into the center right the eventually that will bleed all the way to the middle dark purple check our apples oh all right now I got a hot pan here I'm gonna salt these pork chops liberally oil in the pan see the side down very crew so that you have a hot pan at least 350 degrees that way we can get a hard sear on these before the center is dried out these are the top so let's go ahead and transfer them to that in with the onions that be careful then you just want to kind of let them sit there for a minute all right let's take a look at our pork chops here not bad you let this thing go a little bit longer check Kat onions over here how they looking going through that Oh the ball write it for me I'm gonna pull that let this one cook a little bit longer so actually gonna tilt the pan all right we're gonna call this one good pull them off just let them rest in the beginning I did call this balsamic braised red cabbage so we're gonna give it a little balsamic right now hold that in a little bit more salt onions are done check those good apples are ready let's plate I'm gonna see if we can build that instead of kind of right across here Apple go right on top of the pork let's see if we can get a couple more let's show the car libation so you might want to turn these people Munya those will super can kind of like drape across here there you go cat it's good a couple more that tape down here and then when I'd look at picked maybe a nice little drizzle of balsamic they've got no car pull it all together so there it is balsamic braised red cabbage with a pretty hard seared pork chop some caramelized apples and onions and a drizzle of balsamic on paleo Nick this is Belmont Stakes bail me and we're doing what we can to help you keep it paying yo .

There is no question that Catherine Belme is a Culinary Ninja and this video is proof! She joins me to make a Paleo version of a dish I used to make at The Kincaid Grill in Anchorage, AK. Our chops were twice as thick and we served it with buttered black pepper spaetzle, but I'd argue that the Paleo preparation is as tasty and filling.
oh hey guys what's up I was just playing around and now we're going to do this Thai turkey Throwdown so this is one that I love to make for my bankaccount great meals great snacks great all-around so grab all these ingredients that you see here and come right back because we're going to Thai town okay guys I'm just starting into some ginger here I got a half of a nub they're peeled I'm gonna peel the other half this backside or I guess the front side of the spoon I'm just going to kind of give it a rough chop okay Ginger's done guys on the garlic I'm just going to hammer it with the side of my knife good and then from there again just a rough chop this is going to cook down so I'm not too worried about having a big chunk this is a great start to any meal I'm going to get some salt and pepper on our turkey get that seasoned side down and you got it and then garlic and ginger like onion so half in here so I'll take a wooden spoon or bamboo school to start breaking that up and if you look over here I've got my food processor set up with the shredding blade and then from there I'm just going to turn this thing on as this thing fills up just take it out dump it in okay our guys carrots are rocking back over here time to get radical on some shrooms I just rip these off you can slice these you can quarter them let me just give this a little flip got some good color on our turkey underneath these carrots are going to break down terms will break down to give us some room we need to go in with some water chestnuts the bamboo shoots just going to help these guys along run my knife through life okay guys you can see which flame was hotter see over here the de color difference a little bit darker and some caramel is Asian happening this one's a little bit brighter return this flame up a bit but we just got to make sure that our turkeys cooked shrooms are raw and confident on that so I'm going to add coconut milk and some ball it's good a little healthy maybe a third of a cup fish sauce optional of course but I love it give it ten smooches one two three four five six seven eight nine ten probably need a little greenery in there so we're going to rely on cilantro for that but what I want to do I'm going to chill all this down first and then we'll add the cilantro at the end and I'll let you know when that happens show you how it goes our guys are going to retire turkey Throwdown chilled down see how I rhymes is down pretty creative huh anyways looking like this and as we said we're going to chill that down before we add our greenery obviously we're going to eat this right away go ahead and get the cilantro in but one of the ninja moves is to cool stuff down so that this green stays vibrant bright I'm not going for Oscar the Grouch we're going for like something more like this cilantro stir it in and man they're just getting a little pop all right guys so this I'll finish this up with some some ball-like day if I'm at a place I'm the reheat where I don't have some ball I'm all set I like a little heat mine but set yours up how you like great way to stock your bank account and just great all the way around so I'm paleo Nick thanks for watching and don't forget to keep it paleo .

I love this dish. It is practical, economical, ultra tasty, and an all around solid lesson in Culinary Ninjahood. Speaking of Culinary Ninjas, I've been reading a book by Rick Bayless and I love everything about the guy. He is an amazing writer, chef, historian, Spanish speaker, restaurateur, philanthropist, etc... They guy wears so many hats, they'd be difficult to count. He gives a ton of credit to his team, who helps him create endless, "top notch" products.
hey guys can do Nick here with the next episode it's not your mail bro one of the best series on the site we got slow-cooker action today we're going to be throwing down to the oxtail the only thing is I haven't seen any auction around for pretty much my whole life so where do these babies come from stay tuned we'll discuss it we'll get our slow cooker rollers I guess octo stew is kind of a classic French preparation you know there really aren't oxen around nowadays for kind of beef production right or oxygen production so these are actually just details they still label them octave just follow them alright anyways we're going to get into it what I got is two packs I think this is about six pounds I'm going to start my slow cooker with a cup of garlic and then I'm going to season these guys it's about 20 grams of kosher salt like that and some black pepper about how much tablespoon or so no we'll get those in there and then all around I've got this here is turnips four cups of turnips this is actually about six cups turnips and two cups of parsnips just dice those babies up and then we've got some mirepoix I'm going to sneak down in here as well carrots onions celery they'll all be in the recipe get a couple babies down in there and about two cups of red wine it's going to dump this and the goal here this slow cooker is going to take all the collagen the connective tissue kind of the bones and you know all the crazy stuff going on in the cocktail and it's going to break that down into gelatin we're going to get a nice kind of Demi gloss looking softer they forms it chill so what I'm going to do is throw the lid on this guy we're going seven hours on high so I'll cook down be beautiful and it's going to taste great too so check this new box whoa whoa hey hey yeah okay that's that you go I had an empty anyways this is what it's going to look like right so we cook that off and then poured it in here what I want to show you is kind of that gelatin type structure this is like actually the best jello in the world sugar free hmm red wine they're awesome so next step I'm just going to take my containers here give you them out label then I'm going to give you this stuff up but once it's all too difficult I'll show you what it looks like okay guys here with our oxtail stew all divvied up we've got six healthy portions put a little greenery on the top of each one just so that doesn't look kind of barbaric but it tastes really good I promise you that oxtail soup slow cooker style it's not gourmet it just tastes that way and paleo Nick is always here doing what he can to help you guys keep it paleo Oh .

Oxtail is popular in many cultures around the world, but it's fair to say that the USA is behind the ball on tail consumption. It has become more popular recently and I even find it now at Costco and Sam's Club. Is this a sign that Americans are coming around? Or, is this a sign that more immigrants are shopping at America's big box stores? Either way, all cows have tails and we should eat them!
Dhar Clarkson here with the daily BS got another question about gaining weight while sticking to the Paleo diet so sticking to paleo your carbs are automatically going to be pretty low compared to kind of a normal Western diet where people are eating a lot of processed grains so if you're on a lower carbohydrate paleo type diet basically you don't have to go out of your way to make sure that you're eating enough things like sweet potatoes or even regular white potatoes or some of the starts your types of vegetables squash potentially even things like carrots fall into that category but they're still not going to be quite as dense as I'm eating processed grains or if you're you know you're getting that post-workout shake where you're adding in something like pure glucose or pure sugar it's going to be easier to gain weight in that situation so what I suggest is either either not eating 100% paleo and adding in workout drinks where you're adding in sugar or some type of denser source of carbohydrates right after your workout and whether it's you know a little bit of extra rice or if you you know if you want to be extreme about it you're not really worried about gluten you could add something like bread or pasta how how sensitive you are to those those types of nutrients does I want to recommend most people most people that say just add in some extra potatoes extra rice and then if you if you want to add a workout drink I would add in pure glucose along with whatever whey protein or whatever protein source you're using for that particular workout drink but the point is is that you at some point need to add some denser source of carbohydrates which is gonna help spur some growth can give you an insulin response and is going to help you get bigger and stronger a little bit faster than if you don't get extra carbohydrates in your diet so I understand paleo is pretty tough I mean the the thing that I didn't mention that kind of goes without saying usually is that obviously you should be eating as absolutely much as possible of you know the healthy paleo food that you probably already eating so if you're not getting five or six meals a day you're not stuffing yourself full at all those meals then that's probably step one and then at that point if you're just still not getting enough calories and especially enough carbohydrates then you can start adding these things in on top of the Paleo food that you're already eating so give that a shot let us know if you have any more questions if you like this video or any of our videos make sure to share it on your Facebook wall by clicking share and then the Facebook icon and then also like it Thanks truck dogs .

what is paleo this is actually a really good day for you to have asked me this because I've been thinking about how I wanted to answer this question for a little bit you know traditionally Pele with all about fresh foods vegetables proteins clean proteins clean foods things that you can pick up when walking through a forest you can pick up and eat things that grow naturally I think that we're paleo gets miss kebab y elated is when people you have to put a named everything and so just a name paleo makes people have to watch silly videos like this to find out what cleaned out to food is it makes it kind of mad because it's basically a marketing plot the whole thing about clean food just if it grows naturally you can pick it up and eat it it's not processed it's not man-made it's not fake then it's probably going to be good for your body to eat paleo is all about good clean natural foods the things that we cook at e dalla G or all everything is all good clean natural food for your body what is zone uh the big tour anything right now are macros Gina are you familiar with macros yeah just breakdowns of break down protein carbs and fats not going to trans yes and there are a couple little you know key components to it with a for the most part it's you know you count your macros you capture how much protein how much fat how much carb you have you know typically overlooking a day the thing about the zone which i think is really funny you know in the 90s like counting calories and then there's you know zoning your food and now there's macros but you know this changes the word but like how your body processes food it's not any different and so what's the sense in the zone what the zone is his own is all about portion control it's about taking any type of food and putting it into good portions for your body uh you know back in the 90s they talked about calories they talked about you know more calories a more calories out then after the after the calories they had the zone which really got a popular portion control and it didn't focus on counting so much it talked about of like literal amounts of food portions of food that you could eat already pre portion for you and now with that kind of into the calorie thing back with macros but they at the end of the day I think it's really important to know if zone is and how to do math courage hadn't do calories whichever way you want to do it because it will give you a good a good idea of what you're putting into your body so that you can make tweaks so the idea is if you know exactly what you're putting into your body then whatever results you need you can increase it or decrease it to get the result desired of it that we are looking for and the best resource that i have found would be crossed journals number 21 this is an old journal that i don't even think most crossfitters now exist anymore which makes me so sad but anybody who is looking to learn about portion control whether you're counting macros you're doing zone or calories whether you've ever cross it in your entire life or not this is something that i think that people need to read it is based off of dr. barry sears the zone dr. Barry Sears was a cancer and diabetic research doctor so it is just absolutely a but it is profound for people who are looking to do good clean eating for a health purpose but it's also good just for a lifestyle management bringing a new nutrition management but i would suggest googling this this article across a journal 21 you can also get it off of the e all at your Facebook page but what this guy is going to tell you it's going to tell you why it's important to put things in portions how to build a plate how to build a plate how to eat things they're not heed ology I mean I would love it if people only ever ate my food for the rest of their life but that's not very practical right so anybody know that would also take a lot of pleasure out of food and like Lynn living so ideally uh people need to know how to eat responsibly and this is a great resource to do just that how to build a play on the bed field section of it is going to boom be your block chart this is magic so we're calories are typically broken down you know it per calorie per food this is actually even easier than that so it will tell you a little dis lorica will tell you how many you know what blocking is what serving sizes are but the magic comes where you can literally just look at this little chart and you can find out how much portions you need so you can know you get really hungry for broccoli you get two cups of broccoli / block or maybe a half an apple it's just really easy mode um two halves I would suggest going and taking a look at this now there is one other thing another disclaimer that I would want you guys to know this is not all paleo food the zone is also awesome because you can zone anything in the world you can zone your coffee you can zone beer you can zone chocolate cake you can zone skittles you can also zone things like apples and broccoli but this so the journal 21 is not specifically only paleo foods so you have to shuffle out and think before you pick between your preferable foods and your non preferable foods but it will give you a very good guideline to how to portion all types of food love me some cross a journal to anyone .

Laurah Lawson explains Paleo, Zone, and How to build a plate.
Hi, welcome to my channel, I'm back with game and here Today we are going to talk about food if you want food, it was worth telling you which has many benefits although for Leo it is a style it is an approach of good nutrition because I restrict you for some people because in our cultures in our countries there are usually certain foods that are already are indoctrinated within and are part of the traditional cuisine and the They fulfill the elements of paleo, they do not do not fit with us Jolie to respect that you used a lot of meat is that a lot of meat exactly very because normally that married true those in political times who married any animal was fished but it is really from there the protein not from some other things for example milk did not exist if it existed at that time, but it was not consumed, it was not consumed as large as dairy how they are consumed now is very different from diets no it is a little different but they always have a similar approach what you have to eat are well ben saxton is not exact completely but there are always some guides, there are other positions where it is oriented and is in fact it is stimulated to consume much more protein so it depends a lot of your life of your lifestyle of if this is a lot of exercise if you have a lot burnout at work for example imagine the people who spend eight hours exposed to the sun doing manual work these people also need good fortune we return next week with successful gay that thanks for come thanks .

fifth Paleo tele I was just in Hawaii okay and imagine you go to the jet you go to the deli section to get some sliced turkey but all you see is all this cubed up fish that'd be kind of weird yeah cool Oh so anyways po ke is kind of like that right did you have some sliced up for the most part and why wouldn't you choose that over ham or turkey anyways we're going to give that one I'm going to show right now I think we have one other recipe on the sides just a regular traditional pumpkin volcano Sal what I saw there was like with a mayonnaise mixture so we're going to give that one a shot okay how's that so sounds delicious all you need to do is stand there and say okay okay alright so first thing let's get our mass emails going if you can crack this egg and then on mine I'm going to take out one of the white now Kelly when did we meet you remember how we met you were I was working at Reebok and you came in and did the civil chef experience cooking tonight yeah and then you've brought us over to the store to get our house right here there oh yeah and then we were so enveloped into the store experience that we showed up like five minutes before the seminar school but I mean it all turned out again okay so go ahead cut that in half like that oh that is magical yeah good and sharp and then hold one hand here we don't want to get any seeds in there so if you can squeeze it over your hand attached and you see Joe and they've got one little clove of garlic just do that give that a smash get that in there and then have you made Mayo before no it was like paleo male hey the Oh male cat call it mass email super clean so go ahead with the oil just drizzle it in the top and then all we're watching for here is with the Steve creamy them looks like you know separated eggs floating and oil then that's so good it in a picture fall to the top and in your pictures oh yeah hey Jenny one more way so for me I need them I'll play give it the rest of this lemon I'm kind of like really fatty tasting yeah go chill this will help cut through that all right so the Mayo is done we're going to set this aside and cut up our fish okay okay nailed it okay what do you take it so far pretty Hawaii I'm not been drinking okay okay okay yourself mayonnaise is more of a French thing but now is where it's all going to change okay sorry so it's naturally happening right now okay I'm going to cut up so when we look at the fish these this is kind of a lower grade tuna we didn't get the fresh stuff this is around eight bucks a pound instead of twenty-five dollars a pound right when you go to the deli there they can sell this for the prepared po'pay for ten bucks a pound how they're going to do that if the fish alone is 25 bucks a pound just tells you they're using this same product we also I also make it with high grade oh so senior grade ahi but I think this is a little bit more approachable for the general public and then when we look at it like this is going to be a superior piece to this could you tell why see these little lines in here is kind of like this connective tissue yeah harder to cut through and hard to chew through and so that's the only reason or not because of that my coloring make a difference it does you know this is going to be a better color than that yeah yeah right so there's a lot of different things that they grade but this is kind of from the center cut of the loin and then this is towards the outside and that's where this connective tissue comes in a lot of times they'll chop this up and make like your spicy tuna roll right that'll be the kind of connected stuff so anyways I'll use the easier ones for you I'll cut you here I'm going to go there you're just into like maybe half inch cubes 3/8 inch and we got the second cutting board here just to keep things clean once we're done we'll remove this wash up our knife and then we'll cut our veggies on the lower pork chop which you know Kelly gu meal prep or what do you tell me a little bit about your diet I currently follow a macros based diet which does a lot a little bit more flexibility one to two meals a day is currently an ice age meal oh sweet yeah little plug there um and then I do enjoy cooking but it's like very meat potatoes basic nothing nothing like out of the ordinary gorilla stew meat put potato me on slope in the oven yeah fish is cut up now we're going to take kind of tag-team these veggies with scallions and cilantro so I'm going to go here okay then cilantro what I like to do is always cut it here and stack those and then so I have a question I know that's what my husband has a thing with cilantro where it tastes like soap and it's a Florida so any of these any of these items you can just either like put the font on the sides you can add later you've got like friends you don't really have to add this I just love cilantro right you don't only have to be faster you got to be fast I'm trying it through it just like a CrossFit workout cool so that what I want to do then is I'm just going to set this aside we'll kind of use maybe use that for some garnish I just want to make sure we don't have too much in here and then go ahead and toss that in there all right so then ah what I want to do we're going to fold the Mayo in at the end to kind of give it this creamy look texture cool stuff I like to use tobiko or masago the teeny little orange fish eggs a few Mo's does it pull up a solution yeah those folding it would be good we weren't having today but just an idea so to get some flavor to the fish let's go with using it not all of it just gently start by point something this is just a gluten free soy sauce you can use a coconut aminos about that keep going on that let's start there and then use that spoon over there or kind of fold that together and then here toasted sesame oil what we could have done on our Mayo is finished it with a little bit of this right then we kind of a sesame male so now some heat leg heat or what do you think I do like he I'm kind of baby but I like you okay so the start goes out like a tablespoon was that just ground red chili like sambal you could use sriracha or you could take some red jalapenos and just smash them in the mortar and pestle or they laughs get some of this there and I don't really know the volcano style I just think that sounds cool hey yo Nick Kelly Jackson here helping you guys keep it paleo .

Isaacson so welcome to episode number ten of pursuing health I am here with Peter cats and dr.
Isaacson who is his physician and also my preceptor here in medical school I'm really excited to sit down with both of you and talk about Peters journey here I've known you for about three years now and he has a very inspiring story and I'm excited to talk about it a little bit more today so maybe we could start off um Pete if you want to talk a little bit about your background regress flag background growing up okay sure so yeah I was I was a pretty chubby kid starting in probably about elementary school and I think that's a lot more common today but back when when I was the chubby kid Elmer's well there's like two or three kids you know in the class and there were chubby kids I I was probably pretty good athletically but I just like food a lot so so uh you know I was never the first kid picked than any teams or anything like that pretty free average joint various teams in middle school and that sort of thing a little bit in high school just just some average academic type sports but then when I got to college it's probably the first time in my life I actually got get physically in shape actually became a vegetarian in college did that probably for about little probably 25 years I was vegetarian got into triathlons lost a lot of weight was pretty successful with that until I I had a knee injury okay and then I had some stress from the type of work i was doing at the time and and you were what how old were you at nothing well i think i got into those triathlons probably about summer run 19 20 years old something like that so I was the first time I was actually in shape for a while but then you know the real world took hold hurt my knee got busy with work and pretty much stopped doing any sort of exercise at that point so was it wasn't until about three years ago that I I found CrossFit as well as made some big changes to my diet and kind of get back into the the realm of being an athlete again probably feels good right yeah I want to talk about that more in a moment but first maybe you could talk a little bit about your sort of your your journey as you decline from those triathlons and maybe as some of these health problems started to creep in things that you had tried in the past to try to change your lifestyle to fight those sure so not long after I had come dropped out of the triathlon thing gotten gotten into the the real world doing some stressful work that sort of first chink in the armor I was probably starting to gain weight again kind of go back to my old eating ways not exercising first chink in the armor was was uh I started having a lot of just sort of dizzy spells feeling like I was going to faint this is when I actually first met dr. Isaacson okay because I i was going from doctors dr. sure there was something terribly wrong with me and dr. Isaacson was one of the backers I think I first met him in an emergency room oh and uh he eventually i believe was the person who told me he thought I you want you I think you have an anxiety disorder to which I said you know that's impossible I you know I'm not anxious and of course I didn't understand what things I just sort of was that at that time and for those listeners you don't know it's just it's it's actually like physical symptoms like we're you having like panic attack yeah exactly it's not like you have butterflies in your stomach like before a speech or something it's actually like you feel like at least in my case you feel like you're gonna have a heart attack or you're gonna pass out you're scary long story short I eventually learned that yes that's exactly what I had and started going on some medication for that did some cognitive behavioral therapy and kind of back on got back on track but I look back at that now as sort of the first the first like I said chink in the armor where that I think it was directly attributable to diet and lack of exercise and how long ago how long have you been working with dr. Isaacson has it been uh over well just about or just a little over 20 years I would say I think going to the close to that yeah yeah going back to when that was in my head okay yeah so then just slowly over a period of years I got heavier I still didn't do much exercise a lot of spurts of starting and stopping I remember several conversations with dr.
Isaacson encouraging me to exercise and do something about my diet and of course I always left the the the office visits with the new resolve but I try different things they'd last certain amount of time and and was never really able to stick with it but so then that over the years over that 20 years a different new problems health problems would start coming up so over that time I developed high blood pressure I had elevated liver enzymes my cholesterol began to get high my blood sugar also began to get high to the point that eventually I had a high enough blood sugar that I was definitely a diabetic mm-hmm and started on metformin which is a medicine for I think it's one of the first medicines most most people get when they they have diabetes and I had I had pre-diabetes before that but eventually I got got to this certain level and it wasn't long after that initial diagnosis that I then got to the point where the my Foreman wasn't enough and so dr. Isaacson recommended an injectable medication called Byetta that started that started me really being concerned and thinking oh this is the last straw I can't be I can't have diabetes I can't be injecting myself with medication check my blood sugar all the time I mean I really felt horrible like how could I how could I let myself get to this this point so that's what's really started getting me thinking I gotta do something so so that that was that was the point that sort of led me up to discovering CrossFit okay and dr. Isaacson throughout this time what is your what was your general approach obviously it has you know Pete's blood sugar starts to creep up and you start the medications you have the discussions about style and exercise what's your perspective on that this is an extremely common situation actually as Julie knows and it's one that is really challenging for us as primary care physicians Pete was really in a common group someone who busy with life work former athlete and really we had discussions just about every time I saw you I know students medical school saw you and we really work together to try to say what was a plan that we could come up with that would set you on a path and I really felt you know frustrated that I wasn't really helping you that much that we weren't getting where we want it to be and so it's a common situation and as physicians we really can't necessarily tell the patient what's best for them we can try to give some guidance and tell them where we want to go which is to get healthier and to lose weight but the path to that is often difficult and there's probably not one path for each patient so you've gone down that path and eventually you found something that worked for you yes so tell us about that so yeah I I listen to podcast like this one occasionally and and when podcasts were first starting to get popular which was probably about three or four years ago I was I was mowing my lawn and that usually takes me close at two hours so oh wow that's when I listen to podcast I was mowing along and I I can't remember the packs was a podcast about paleo something I never had heard about and and someone was on the episode and explained how they had lost a ton of weight eating a paleo diet and so I just sparked my interest and I bought a few books about it and thought it sounded interesting and thought hey I'm gonna give this a try and for those listeners who don't know Palio's I would say it's a flavor of a low-carb diet then there's a lot of different low-carb diets out there but but this is the one I came across and decided to give it a try and as I was starting to read about it and I started doing it CrossFit kept coming up in two different books I was reading the differ articles online some of the podcasts it just seemed to be sort of a loose connection between the two things and so I thought I could check out what what this is what CrossFit is and went on the main CrossFit website look for an affiliate i found one not far from me called CrossFit pains well just happen to be relatively close to my house went in there and decided I'm going to check this out and it was a complete shock it was but but I did have sort of a background as as an athlete for a while it did fairly intense sports so I think my personality was was kind of well soon yeah suited for something like CrossFit and so yeah you know the first three months probably I maybe went twice a week you know the people were great didn't care how in shape out of shape you were everything was scaled so it didn't matter what the workout was I was able to do it in some form and you know I probably couldn't walk up and down the stairs like like a lot of people for literally three months at a time I would it would i'd finally start getting recovered and bam it would happen again but you know i quickly started seeing results and actually before i started the crossfit just the low-carb diet immediately my blood sugar started going down to the point where I just started weaning myself off the different medications at first I stopped by etta and then I was noticing well it's still going down so then I started cutting back on the metformin and I think I probably came into an appointment with dr. Isaacson at some point and said yeah I just I just kind of stopped and he probably didn't really like that idea but it was it was working I was the blood sugar still low it going down and I wasn't having to take the medicine so I mean anyone listening this who has the same who has diabetes I feel like the first thing that worked was was just cutting carbs out a low carb diet it really carved I would cause your your bloodsucker to go up me was that at all difficult for you to change from going from being a vegetarian to suddenly eating a lot more meat yeah it was was definitely a mindset change I but I was I think why part of the problem and one of the reasons I probably end up getting diabetes because I was a vegetarian probably like a lot of Americans who ate pasta bread crackers cookies I mean it wasn't you know based on vegetables and whole foods right well I like that idea it wasn't what i ate in practice and so I think that probably contributed to my getting diabetes is it I just I was just eating massive amounts of carbs which are vegetarian right it's a very good point you know beans are high carb they're vegetarian they're probably not going to be causing a lot of high blood sugar like pasta or bread or cookies but but yeah that was that was like the main part of my diet so when i switch to paleo you know i did start eating meat but i've never been a huge meat eater even on paleo i do try to focus more on vegetables mm-hmm but yeah now now i do eat meat it was a kind of a strange changeover mm-hmm but but when i started seeing the results i really felt that I at least my body maybe most humans were meant to eat like this just because everything started all my blood tests all the all the health problems I had started going away one by one fall away medications fall away and I think especially you talk about your body being especially susceptible dr. Isaacson and I have talked about this about how sensitive you are to the carbs and how dramatically your your blood sugar went down once you change your diet and I think at one point what what was your ate your a1c at its highest yeah so it was a XII remember you been remember what was it it was I think about 11.4 with a normal being about six and i would say you had one of the more dramatic probably the most dramatic improvement in that measure of diabetes in the shortest amount of time I would say I think for you the diabetes was a wake-up call yeah that fundamentally changed the way you thought about things and really got you motivated and I think the positive results you got reinforced that it's it was really it was you doing the work and actually I was thrilled when you were cutting back on medicine you know I maybe wanted you to check in with me a little bit more but yeah I i also think what i found was interesting is that as i started doing the crossfit i don't know if it's because i was losing weight gaining muscle eating low-carb but the more the longer i did the crossfit i found that if i cheated and like you know had had goat went back to some of my old ways and i had an occasional binge on bad food or had a cheat day i would of course check my blood sugar right away as i started doing the crossfit mm-hmm longer and longer they would have little or no effect on my blood sugar interest so it's like it's like I I think the muscle there could be lots of reasons of course I'm not a doctor scientist but maybe it's that the muscle is using the blood sugar it's like another another pathway for that blood sugar to get used up maybe it's somehow increasing my sensitivity to to the insulin i'm not sure but but now i find that i can eat almost anything i want without any significant change in my blood sugar from day to day and that's probably because you've lost weight and that yeah because your insulin works better when you're at a lower weight and so the composition of the diet has a role but also if you're able to have weight loss that can actually your diabetes has been cured with lifestyle regiments really mm-hmm how often do you see that in your practice doctor Isaacson you know it's a potential for almost a huge number of people with what we call type 2 diabetes which is more weight related but it's difficult to achieve and so you're not alone but you know you're the minority of people who are able to do that but it's out there for everyone really they can have an effect on this more than medications a lot of a lot of ways yeah I mean and and not only the diabetes went away but now I think of my very last visit with dr.
Isaacson my blood pressure was below normal I got rid of I used to have sleep apnea I got rid of that all probably within six months of starting CrossFit um no more diabetes medication no more I used to have high blood pressure medication don't have that anymore literally at everything that though the anxiety mm-hmm I probably took that anxiety medication for 15-20 years I I stopped that absolutely no issues whatsoever so I can only think a link that all those things all those things also to the diet and the CrossFit yeah absolutely so what are that some of the things the milestones are things that you're most proud of in this whole process or things you've achieved it can be CrossFit related or you know medication health-related yeah well really you know reversing what was a train wreck it is is the best thing I mean losing weight it's something that I struggle with my whole life isn't any way now I feel like I have sort of a formula that I'm in complete control of to keep that weight off it really be able to do anything I want to do I feel like I'm 10 years younger at least biologically than my my age and I see a lot of people my age who are experienced of things I was experiencing that they're just experiencing them a little later than I was I experienced much earlier probably because I was heavier much earlier and I just feel like you know I sort of have a new freedom or sure a secret to staying young and healthy and be able to do what i want to do so so those those were all great achievements and then then in CrossFit itself I mean it I look forward to every single day it's sort of a fun activity to go do almost like you're going out for recess or gym class yeah I love the camaraderie I love the feeling I get when I went after I do a hard workout I would consider myself a little bit of a junkie share that's because there because there is this this very real sort of high you get absolutely after doing it I'm sure I'm sure I think we can connect on that level and there's so many things that you learn and CrossFit that are challenging that you're you're always going to be working on getting better at right so there's always a challenge and you're always kind of achieving something you never thought you could do in your life and I think when we first met you had gotten your first pullup recently so what things are you chasing right now well I i struggle with double unders ok I can do Single Double I cannot string together though yeah it drives me crazy yeah pull ups i did my first Murph this year Wow oh uh pull ups and myself so dr. Isaacson that workout is I was named after lieutenant Michael Murphy who was died in combat and there's a lot of hero workouts that are that are named after you know fallen heroes and so the workout is run a mile do 100 pull-ups 200 push-ups 300 squats and then run a mile and prescribed you do it all with a weight vest on so it is a doozy of a workout I did not use the way but I was very happy yeah 104 yes now I can't string them together and Kip and all that stuff but I did the hundred-plus that is fantastic so yeah to even think I'd be capable of something like that for years ago would it well I would have thought you weren't sane right if told me I'd ever be doing that but yeah I mean I mean there's so many things in CrossFit that i would like to think one day I might be able to do like a muscle up or or something like that right chester bar pull-ups which which I can't do yet there's always something to chasing and to be working on it is and i found out i found that i'm really good at some things across it I'm horrible at others just like it seems like everything yeah exactly amazing amazing so I'm so glad that that you found something works for you I want to talk a little bit more about why you think this was what stuck for you and dr. Isaacson maybe from your perspective to why you know he had tried other types of lifestyle modifications in the past that hadn't really stuck or hadn't really lasted for a while so what is it about CrossFit and paleo that made you stick with it for three plus years well as far as the paleo I honestly do believe that it that even though we you know no one in modern world can eat like some money who existed in the Paleolithic era that's the basis of the diet that for those who don't know that you eat what someone is living in that period of history would be able to eat mm-hmm so yeah we can't duplicate exactly what that is but we can approximate what it is and just the way I feel and the way my health improved based on that diet mm-hmm it's impossible for me after experiencing that to really try to go you know to go want to go back to the way I was eating so that has helped me I'll stick with the diet as far as the exercise I think CrossFit is kind of unique in there is a community type of activity so when you join a CrossFit gym there's a lot of camaraderie you look forward to seeing that the people who work there as trainers or that you work out with so that helps a lot and then there's also the you're always working on achieving something it's different every time you go and and really there is that addictive nature to me sure I love the feeling I have at the end of the workout absolutely and it's it's the same like before maybe you were addicted to sugar carbohydrates there's I've heard of people who have been addicted to drugs or addictive different things that do CrossFit and that kind of replaces for them that addiction or that thing that they can always go back to to get that that high if you you know want to want to call it that that's exactly what it feels like I mean I really I can't wait to go back excited for your workout in you know the work at itself often times its size right in the middle of it you're going awful and sucks with the end you just feel so good yeah so yeah what do you think dr. Isaacson well I think that you know there's not one size that fits everyone and so as physicians and and Julie knows us and learns us what we want to do is partner with our patient and really tap in and help them along the way we usually don't have all the answers we have some medical knowledge we can guide them but it's actually trying to be open to what the patient wants to work on so from my standpoint affect you were found something you wanted to work on and it connected with you was fabulous and I think having some structure so you didn't have to sit each day and decide what am I going to do today you had some structure imposed I think probably the CrossFit did a lot of that where you're going to go you had a community that supported you and we tried to support you in the office but really it was mostly about you and having a structure to what your diet was going to look like what your exercise is going to look like and the fact you had positive results it just reinforce this and really sort of jump started the whole process so you know I've actually been thrilled i think you have done the work on this clearly and that's what's true most of the time is trying to help the patient but most of the work comes from them anything that's true i mean every person's going to be a likely to succeed at something in particular it's finding what them what that is right yeah I do think like I was never a big weight lifter I do feel that has some some benefits that that you don't get from other exercises at least I don't know if that's specific for diabetes or not but it seems like having more muscle mass as opposed to just doing a cardio cardio program I believe has a pretty strong impact on some of the results I've been seeing just just a totally a personal opinion absolutely so and you know we see that it is important for for people to do exercise it's going to make them strong or two and it'll help you know later in life as you start to deteriorate like physically it's going to slow that process like we talked about we talked about in the CrossFit in the level one about not wanting to be in a nursing home when you're older because you can't get out of bed or you can't sit down and go to the bathroom because you've built up the strength over the years that you know you can support yourself into your old age yeah absolutely I i I'm playing the D cross her till day I died nursing see what happens here I'll be right there with you probably we're thinking about to the cost savings if you think about health care costs now well that's the amount of medicine you're on and you know the cost of lifestyle interventions is really so minimal compared to all the medical care I mean you're saving yourself a lot of money you're saving a lot of resources having to be spent in terms of medicine medical care so it is really an untapped resource I think I know Julie's very interested in pursuing this and its really a great thing because it just has benefits not only for the person but for our whole society really in terms of resource utilization and making the whole society healthier that's very true actually just in the last year it's the first time I've ever been on a high deductible health plan which a lot of people are going to a lot of companies are going to that type of model so not only am i saving money by not coming to the doctor but because I have this high deductible health plan I have a health savings account so I'm putting in what I would have paid for a traditional health plan anyway into the savings account and it is growing okay basically because because I'm not going to the doctor every every other month and buying all these different drugs and yeah supplies yeah so I mean you know there there's a silver lining yes there's tapes about it that's right and the fective do you just seem so much happier and healthier all around like you said you feel maybe 10 years younger and it's I'm sure it's permeating into all the different aspects of your life as well yeah well it does I mean you you feel even in non exercise or diet related areas just in life doing something at work a project something you don't want to do it just the success I've seen in CrossFit mm-hmm kind of translates into that if I have a project I don't want to do it I treat it just like a watt right this second I can do the workout I can do this I can get exactly I'm gonna just do a page by page and it's gonna be done 1 repin is exactly awesome well well thank you guys both so much for taking the time to sit down and chat your

In his 20's Pete Katz was an active, healthy guy - he competed in triathlons, was a vegetarian, and at one point even ran a health food store. A knee injury, a demanding job, and family life eventually took over and he found himself overweight and with a growing list of diagnoses and medications. The threat of having to take an injectable medication for his type 2 diabetes was the last straw, and Pete made dramatic lifestyle changes by starting a Paleo diet and joining a local CrossFit affiliate. I first met Pete in his primary care physician Dr. Isaacson's office as a second year medical student at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine.
In this episode of Pursuing Health, Pete, Dr. Isaacson, and I sit down to discuss Pete's journey back to health. We discuss his background and initial health decline, his frustration with various diet and exercise programs that were short lived, and why he has found Paleo and CrossFit to work so well for him. We also talk about the dramatic improvements in his health and quality of life that have resulted from these lifestyle changes.

Let's make this a good week, people. Get your butts in gear and don't make excuses.
I love today's preparation because it is the most unbelievably delicious tasting salad in the history of the world. I at it, learned how to make it, and saw several different preparations of it on my recent trip to Thailand and today, I'm sharing my rendition with you!
