MY NAME IS ABDUL CLIFF MORRIS, WHERE MORRIS CARDIOVASCULAR RISK REDUCTION CENTER, AND OUR MAIN EMPHASIS IS TO CHANGE BEHAVIOR THROUGH EVIDENCE BASED MEDICINE FITNESS IN NUTRITION. AND I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE A GREAT IDEA TO TALK ABOUT HEALTH FROM NOT ONLY FROM A BLACK PERSPECTIVE JUST FROM A HUMAN BEING PERSPECTIVE BEFORE THE KIDS HAD LEFT. I PLANNED ON SNAGGING 34 OF THEM FOR A LITTLE DEMONSTRATION. SO WHAT I'M GOING TO DO, INSTEAD IS ASKED FOR ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD MIND IS COMING UP HERE FOR A LITTLE DEMONSTRATION BECAUSE I'M ALL ABOUT TEACHING. AND SO
[00:40:02]
ANY FOUR PEOPLE IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME UP. THIS IS VERY BRIEF DEMONSTRATION. I WOULD LIKE THE YOUNG MAN TO COME UP. ALSO, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL. EVERY LOT OF FUN. DR PHILLIPS. COME ON UP. I NEED OKAY. I GOT THREE. COME ON UP TO THE STAGE RIGHT UP HERE.THAT'S IT. AWESOME. ALRIGHT, AND I'M GOING TO STAND. SO I NEED ONE MORE PERSON. THANK YOU.

I WOULD LIKE FOR ALL FOUR OF YOU TO STAND RIGHT IN THE ROAD RIGHT HERE IN FRONT HERE. ALL RIGHT. SO ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AND DR PHILLIPS IF YOU COULD GET RIGHT HERE AND WHAT, MY YOUNG MAN RIGHT OVER HERE. OKAY, SO WHAT IS YOUR NAME? MARKETS MARCUS ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY. OKAY SO I THOUGHT TODAY WHAT I WOULD NEED TO TALK TO EVERYONE HERE ABOUT PARTICULARLY BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITY IS DIABETES, DIABETES. A THE DOES ANYONE EVER HEARD OF THIS THING CALLED THE A ONE C. HAS ANYBODY HEARD TO SAY ONE? C ALRIGHT. THIS IN MY OPINION IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT LAB THAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW. IN 2022 THE A ONE C BECAUSE IT IS THE BLOOD TEST THAT TELLS YOU HOW CLOSE YOU ARE TO DIABETES. BUT ONE OF THE BIG BUZZ WORDS OF 2022 IS INSULIN RESISTANCE. INSULIN RESISTANCE.
HAS ANYBODY EVER HEARD OF INSULIN RESISTANCE? YOU'RE ABOUT TO HEAR ABOUT IT NOW. OKAY ALL RIGHT. SO WHAT IS INSULIN RESISTANCE? INSULIN RESISTANCE IS THE CONDITION THAT LEADS TO DIABETES. AND SO UM, MANY PEOPLE WILL SAY, WELL, WHAT CAUSES DIABETES AND THOSE SAY, EATING TOO MUCH SUGAR, RIGHT? OBVIOUS RIGHT. BUT WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE IS THAT THIS INSULIN RESISTANCE INVOLVES THE TISSUES, THE ACTUAL TISSUES OF THE BODY. OKAY, SO MARCUS IS GOING TO COME OVER HERE WITH ME AND MARCUS IS GOING TO REPRESENT INSULIN IN THE BODY THAT IS SECRETED BY THE PANCREAS. SO WHENEVER THERE'S A LOT OF SUGAR IN THE SYSTEM, THE BODY SAYS, OKAY, WE GOT YOU KNOW THIS IS VERY TOXIC SUGAR AND HIGH AMOUNTS IS VERY TOXIC. SO WHAT THE BODY DOES IT SAYS, OK, I'M GOING TO MAKE INSULIN BECAUSE INSULIN IS THE GREAT STORAGE HORMONE. WHAT IT DOES. IS IT STORES THE SUGAR IF YOU DO NOT BURN IT. HE LIKE THIS. OKAY ALRIGHT. OKAY. ALRIGHT, SO. DR PHILLIPS. HE IS GOING TO REPRESENT THE MUSCLES OF THE BODY. SO I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO JUST TO PLACE YOUR HANDS OUT LIKE THIS. OKAY? I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU ARE YOUNG POET TO PLACE YOUR HANDS OUT. SHE'S GOING TO REPRESENT THE LIVER CELLS.
ALRIGHT, SO PLACE YOUR HANDS OUT AND HERE WE HAVE THE PANCREAS CELLS. PLACE YOUR HANDS OUT, PLEASE. EVERYTHING IN THE BODY NEEDS SUGAR RIGHT NOW. MY ARMS ARE WORKING BECAUSE THEY'RE USING SUGAR, RIGHT? I'M USING MY MUSCLES RIGHT? BUT WHEN I EAT A LOT OF SUGAR INSULIN IS SECRETED MARCUS. I'D LIKE YOU TO PUT YOUR HANDS UP LIKE THIS. LIKE THIS INSOLENCE WHO CREATED AND IT TAKES IN ALL THIS SUGAR IS SUGAR RIGHT, AND ITS JOB IS TO STORE IT AND PROVIDED TO THE MUSCLES.
RIGHT OKAY. SO NOW MARCUS WANTS TO GO AND GIVE ALL THIS SUGAR TO THESE WONDERFUL MUSCLE MUSCLE CELL AND THE LIVER SALE OF THE PANCREAS CELL THAT NEEDED. HOWEVER, HOWEVER, IN THIS PARTICULAR BODY. THERE'S BEEN A LARGE CONSUMPTION OF SATURATED FAT. AND SATURATED FAT COMES.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT ? IT COMES IN THE FORM OF CHEESE AND GREASY FOODS AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS THAT IS VERY PROMINENT IN THE BLACK AND BROWN CULTURE. I GREW UP DOWN IN NORTH CALCULA KEY, SO I HAD THIS EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE. AND I'VE I'VE SEEN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CONSUME A LOT OF THESE PRODUCTS. THE SATURATED FAT SO I WANT YOU TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON WHAT HAPPENS. WHEN YOU CONSUME A LOT OF SATURATED FAT. ALRIGHT SO NOW THE SATURATED FAT ACTUALLY COMES INTO THE MUSCLE CELL. AND CAUSES IT TO CLOSE DOWN. SO, DR PHYLLIS PUT YOUR HANDS DOWN, PLEASE. OKAY EVERYBODY ELSE. KEEP YOUR HANDS UP. THAT'S IT. ALL RIGHT. SO NOW WHEN MARCUS COMES TO BRING ALL THIS WONDERFUL SUGAR TO THE MUSCLE CELL. MARCUS TAKE THEM SUGAR OVER THERE. OKAY BRING IT OVER TO THAT FILMS AND HOLD IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER. AT THE PHILLIPS IS GOING TO WAIVE HIS HEAD. NOPE NO, NOT TODAY BECAUSE HE'S FULL OF SATURATED FAT. FULL OF SATURATED FAT. OKAY ALL RIGHT , SO THEN THIS PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL EAT SOME MORE OF THE BACON AND ALL THESE THINGS THAT CAUSED THE ARTISTIC LOG. AND NOW HE'S GOING TO GO TO THE LIVER SALE BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE MUSCLES SAY, LOOK, I'M FULL OF SATURATED EFFECT. GO CHECK WITH THE LIVER. SO NOW, HE SAYS, OKAY
[00:45:02]
, SO MARK HAS GONE OVER TO THE LIVER CELL. BUT THE LIVER CELLS ALL SATURATED, TOO. AND SO, UM, SEATTLE. OH THAT'S SAD. OKAY SOL YOU GUYS PLEASE ACCEPT ALL THE SURELY THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH SUGAR AND THE LIVER CELLS SAYS. NOPE. I'M SORRY. MM HMM. SO THE LIVER SAYS, LISTEN TO ME. SHE WAS LIKE, GO CHECK WITH THE PANCREAS. GO CHECK WITH THE PARENT. MAYBE THE PANCREAS NEEDS SOME SUGAR, RIGHT? BECAUSE THE PANCREAS, EVERY TISSUE NEEDS SUGAR, SO THE INSULIN TAKES THE SUGAR OVER TO THE PANCREAS. HOWEVER THE PANCREAS ALSO IS SATURATED AND THE PANCREAS IS LIKE OKAY, SO I'D LIKE FOR ALL THE THREE OF YOU JUST TO DO LIKE THIS. THIS IS INSULIN RESISTANCE. THE TISSUES ARE RESISTANT TO THE INSULIN. ALL RIGHT. DOES EVERYBODY GET THAT? OKAY INSULIN RESISTANCE. SO HOW DO YOU CORRECT THE SITUATION? THE BATTLE IS IN THE PLATE, THE BATTLES IN THE PLATE AND THAT IS GETTING THESE THINGS OUT OF THE PLATE AND MOVING TOWARDS MORE PLANTS. PLANTS. HOW MUCH CHOLESTEROL IS IMPLANTS? ZERO OKAY, EXCEPT FOR JUST A FEW PEANUTS AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS SATURATED FAT AND CHOLESTEROL, ZERO RIGHT SO NOW BY EATING MORE PLANTS, EVENTUALLY, THE SATURATED FAT LEAVES THE CELLS AND TISSUES OF THE PANCREAS AND THE PANCREAS CAN ONCE AGAIN BRING THE HANDS UP. AND THE INSULIN CAN BESTOW THE SUGAR ONTO THE PANCREAS. THERE WE GO. ALRIGHT MARCUS, COME HERE TO THE LIVER. THE LIVER IS NOW RECEPTIVE. GOOD JOB AND THAT MARCUS, PLEASE COME TO THE MUSCLES BECAUSE THE MUSCLES NEEDED AND ONCE AGAIN, THE MUSCLES ARE NOW RECEPTIVE. VERY GOOD. MARCUS, PLEASE COME OVER HERE. THE CELLS ARE NOW INSULIN SENSITIVE. THEY ARE NOW SENSITIVE TO THE INSULIN THAT THE BODY IS TRYING TO MAKE. DOES EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND THAT? PLEASE GIVE OUR ACTRESSES AND ACTORS AROUND OF APPLAUSE AND YOU GUYS MAY HAVE A SEAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH GREAT JOB MARKETS AND MARKETS. GIVE ME SOMETHING. ALRIGHT, THANKS. SO I WANTED TO TAKE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TEACH BECAUSE I THINK THE BEST THING THAT I CAN POSSIBLY GIVE YOU IS A IS INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN USE TODAY. WHAT'S WHAT TWO WAYS THAT YOU CAN LOWER YOUR INSULIN RESISTANCE. ONE IS BY GETTING ALL OF THE SATURATED FAT OUT OF YOUR LIFE AND MOVING TO A MORE PLANT BASED WHOLE FOOD PLANT BASED EXISTENCE. AND THIS IS WHAT WE DO IN OUR OFFICE. AND BY DOING THIS, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET MANY PEOPLE OFFER THEIR BLOOD PRESSURE AND DIABETIC MEDICINES, INCLUDING A GENTLEMAN , JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO WHO IS 76 YEARS OLD. HE IS NO LONGER ON ANY BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINE.I EVEN DISCHARGED HIM. I EVEN DISCHARGED FROM OUR OFFICE. HE WILL NOT NEED TO COME SEE ME BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN FREE OF HIS BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINE FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. AND THAT CRAZY 76 YEARS OLD AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU CAN DO THE SAME THING. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS A SPECIALTY FOR ANYBODY. I WANT TO CONCLUDE MY TALK TODAY AS I JUST WANTED TO BE BRIEF. AND TALK ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS BECAUSE THIS CORONA THING HAS GOT US ALL BACKED UP AND HAS CAUSED A MAJOR ISSUES. I HAD IT ABOUT FIVE WEEKS AGO, FIVE OR SIX WEEKS AGO. AND WHEN YOU HAD THIS THING HERE, IT HAS A TENDENCY TO REALLY THROW A MONKEY WRENCH INTO EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES. AND WHEN IT COMES, THE QUESTION BECOMES PARTICULARLY BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITY. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO GET THROUGH THIS AND IT'S GOING TO BE THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY ARE VIGILANT IN MAINTAINING HEALTH AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED. AND PARTICULARLY AGAIN, THE BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITIES. WE HAVE GOT TO COME UP TO THE PLATE. WE HAVE GOT TO COME UP TO THE PLATE. WE CANNOT WAIT ON GOVERNMENT TO DO THIS. WE CAN'T WAIT ON YOU KNOW, AND NOTHING HAPPENING IN WASHINGTON TO DO THIS. WE HAVE TO ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR HEALTH.
HOW CAN WE DO THAT? BY INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF THE WHOLE FOODS THAT WE EAT, AND ALSO BY INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. BY ALIGNING WITH A HEALTHIER STATE OF MIND.
AND HONESTLY, I THINK TODAY IS GOING TO BE A BIG DAY FOR PARTICULAR FOR EVERYBODY HERE IN THIS AUDIENCE. I THINK YOU GUYS ARE ALL HERE. FORWARD WITH A PURPOSE IN MIND. AND THAT IS TO LISTEN TO EVERYTHING THAT I'M TELLING YOU, SO YOU CAN TAKE THIS OUT AND GIVE IT TO EVERYBODY OUT IN THE WORLD. MAYBE THIS CORONA THING IS NOT SO MUCH ABOUT THROWING US OFF TRACK AND CREATING A LOT OF STRESS IN OUR LIVES. MAYBE IT IS HERE TO TELL US ABOUT OUR SEPARATION FROM EXCELLENT HEALTH. MAYBE IT'S ALSO AN AVENUE FOR US TO BRING AND COME BACK TOGETHER. MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR US ALL TO COME BACK TOGETHER , WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IN
[00:50:04]
VACCINATIONS AND KNOW WHETHER HIS MASK AND NO MASS DOESN'T MATTER. YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS WHERE YOU'RE WHERE IT'S AT, AND WE CAN ALL HAVE A CONVERSATION BECAUSE WE ALL BREATHING THE SAME AIR RIGHT NOW. AND NOBODY GETS OUT OF THE SITUATION UNTIL WE ALL GET OUT THE SITUATION AND SO THEREFORE, WITH THEIR FOLKS HOPE THAT YOU'VE LEARNED SOMETHING TODAY. I HOPE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN TAKE TO YOUR FAMILIES TO THE NEXT FAMILY UNION. YOUR NEXT CELEBRATION AT HOME SHOULD ALL BE MOVING TOWARDS EATING MORE GETTING MORE REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, AND THE FEAR OF THE VIRUS IS REALLY WHERE IT'S AT. BUT TODAY WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT SPREADING A NEW VIRUS, AND THAT'S A VIRUS OF FAMILY AND THAT'S A VIRUS OF EATING HEALTHFULLY. IT'S A VIRUS OF MOVING HEALTHWAYS VIRUS OF HAVING MORE PURPOSE IN YOUR LIFE.
