- 3:07Speaker 1: Please welcome back again, a dear friend and inspiration and
- 3:11Speaker 1: uh and a real doctor by the way doctor to
- 3:14Speaker 1: money baking Confortation, Dr Ian Smith. How you doing, my
- 3:17Speaker 1: brother ever shundom? Great great to join you. How you're
- 3:20Speaker 1: feeling really good? Man? You still look at Trie You're
- 3:23Speaker 1: still look at good you know. You know, I guess
- 3:26Speaker 1: I've been seeing you all the way back to Jenny
- 3:27Speaker 1: Jones days, right, Yeah, it's been a long time. And
- 3:31Speaker 1: I you know, I was saying to you before we
- 3:33Speaker 1: started the broadcast that you know, I'm getting old like
- 3:36Speaker 1: everybody else. However, I'm in the fight. I think that
- 3:39Speaker 1: in life in a fight in a good way, not
- 3:40Speaker 1: a negative way. But you know, you can't just resign
- 3:43Speaker 1: yourself to sayings just happening. You have to say I'm
- 3:47Speaker 1: gonna be convicted and determined um to make a way
- 3:50Speaker 1: out of nowhere. And so what I try to do
- 3:51Speaker 1: all the time is and I'm not always successful, but
- 3:54Speaker 1: I try every day to be a better me. And
- 3:57Speaker 1: when it comes to the physical aspect, you know, I
- 3:58Speaker 1: work out the out of weights. I try to eat better.
- 4:01Speaker 1: I'm not perfect in my eating, but I try to
- 4:03Speaker 1: eat better. Uh. And I think that if people follow
- 4:05Speaker 1: just that basic kind of idea that I'm going to
- 4:08Speaker 1: be better in my physical movement better and my nutritional inta.
- 4:12Speaker 1: I think people be happier and look better and feel better. Well,
- 4:14Speaker 1: the thing about our relationship is that you know I
- 4:18Speaker 1: got bad eating habits and so and people always say, man,
- 4:21Speaker 1: but you don't look like you eat habits. Because I
- 4:23Speaker 1: read his books. You know, I'm one of them. I'm
- 4:25Speaker 1: one of them. I want them good and bad customers.
- 4:27Speaker 1: You know, when when when it gets bad, Doc, I
- 4:29Speaker 1: go to your book. When it's when it's good, I
- 4:31Speaker 1: get off your book. You know what I'm saying. But
- 4:34Speaker 1: but it allows me a system of of direction. And
- 4:39Speaker 1: I think that's what we're trying to talk about here,
- 4:41Speaker 1: because so many people out there have health, health issues,
- 4:44Speaker 1: they have weight issues because they don't have direction and
- 4:47Speaker 1: also a direction that's uh. I think it's tied to
- 4:49Speaker 1: common sense. And that's what I've always felt that your
- 4:52Speaker 1: books are tied to common sense. Correct. Yeah, you know
- 4:55Speaker 1: it's interesting you say that because so many people will
- 4:58Speaker 1: say to me, well, Instagram or Facebook with dr Ian,
- 5:02Speaker 1: I'm doing this, and I'm doing that, and I'm doing this.
- 5:05Speaker 1: But the problem is it's not that people don't often
- 5:08Speaker 1: know what to do or how to do it. It's
- 5:11Speaker 1: that they don't have structure. Right, you gotta have structure.
- 5:14Speaker 1: You just can't say I'm gonna eat better, but what
- 5:16Speaker 1: does that mean? I'm gonna exercise better. What does that mean?
- 5:19Speaker 1: And so I tell people all the time, yeah, well,
- 5:21Speaker 1: you know, yeah, what you're doing what it sounds like?
- 5:23Speaker 1: It sounds good, but it's not working well because we
- 5:26Speaker 1: need structures in our in our life, and with fast burn,
- 5:29Speaker 1: the structure is very simple. It's nine weeks um. It's
- 5:32Speaker 1: based on affordable, regular, accessible food. You want to go
- 5:35Speaker 1: to five different grocery stores to buy it. But it's realistic.
- 5:39Speaker 1: That's the key. Rashan. A plan is not going to
- 5:42Speaker 1: work for people if it's not sustainable and realistic. And
- 5:44Speaker 1: so I wrote this plan from the standpoint of the
- 5:47Speaker 1: use of What I mean by that, I mean I
- 5:49Speaker 1: asked two thousand people in my Facebook group to try
- 5:52Speaker 1: out the original draft of the plan and they gave
- 5:55Speaker 1: me their feedback. What they liked, but they didn't like
- 5:56Speaker 1: what work, what didn't work. Uh. The average weight loss
- 5:59Speaker 1: was fifteen and seventeen pounds and nine weeks. And as
- 6:02Speaker 1: much as I helped them, they helped me because I
- 6:05Speaker 1: realized there are certain ways to make it easier. So
- 6:07Speaker 1: for example, things that people took me complain about in
- 6:09Speaker 1: the program I took care of. You can have alcohol
- 6:12Speaker 1: on the program. There's pasta there's bread, there's stay, there's pizza.
- 6:17Speaker 1: I mean all these things, uh that programs say you
- 6:21Speaker 1: cannot have. I said, you can still have it, but
- 6:24Speaker 1: let's do it in a way where we have in
- 6:26Speaker 1: a healthier manner but equally tasty. Right, you can't go
- 6:29Speaker 1: healthy and still not be tasty. So I try to
- 6:32Speaker 1: do both and fast and fast burned. And I think
- 6:35Speaker 1: that's why people like it. Well, it's it's gonna be
- 6:38Speaker 1: proved to be my favorite now because you know, as
- 6:42Speaker 1: I stated earlier, I am not the best patient. You know,
- 6:44Speaker 1: if if if Dr was my was my doctor officially
- 6:48Speaker 1: said Roshan, come on that stop, you really really really
- 6:52Speaker 1: tripping that. But in your book you you allow me to.
- 6:56Speaker 1: I do eat in proportion, which is really always the
- 6:59Speaker 1: key too, and when you eat is the key as well.
- 7:02Speaker 1: And like I said, it's also knowing your body, because
- 7:05Speaker 1: you talk a little bit about that, because a lot
- 7:07Speaker 1: of people don't listen to their body. They don't listen
- 7:09Speaker 1: to the way body when you're telling you, you know,
- 7:10Speaker 1: because that's why I always heeds the story about people
- 7:12Speaker 1: talking about, oh he looks so healthy. Well, I bet
- 7:15Speaker 1: you if you don't went to a doctor, the doctor
- 7:17Speaker 1: they ever told me had the hot blood pressure, high
- 7:19Speaker 1: cholesterol level. Talk about that whole process, because your book is,
- 7:23Speaker 1: like I said, it's a true guide, but there are
- 7:26Speaker 1: all steps that they have to take to go along
- 7:28Speaker 1: with your book to be successful. Yeah, you know, it's interesting.
- 7:32Speaker 1: I think that. Um, what people have to understand is
- 7:35Speaker 1: that these books are blueprints. Yes, folks, are not the Bible.
- 7:40Speaker 1: This book says, this is a guide for you. And
- 7:43Speaker 1: the reason why people really like fast Burns because it's
- 7:46Speaker 1: so customizable. Like when you think about it, you know,
- 7:49Speaker 1: no one wants to be dictated to what they have
- 7:51Speaker 1: to eat every day, but they don't want to have options.
- 7:54Speaker 1: So there are options in the book. Every day, every
- 7:56Speaker 1: meal that has options to it. So you're vegan, vegetarian, caterion, carnivore,
- 8:01Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You can make it work for you. So
- 8:04Speaker 1: you have you have lots of options. Then the other
- 8:06Speaker 1: part of it is some people say, well, you know,
- 8:08Speaker 1: I don't want to go to a gym. I don't
- 8:09Speaker 1: like to go to a gym. I said no. Chapter thirteen.
- 8:12Speaker 1: These are all at home exercises you can do without
- 8:15Speaker 1: a gym membership, without the need for machines, thirty minutes
- 8:19Speaker 1: forty four or five days a week, and you know what,
- 8:21Speaker 1: you can break it up fifteen minutes in the morning,
- 8:23Speaker 1: fifteen in the afternoon. So I think that people really
- 8:27Speaker 1: are looking for plans that are allowing them not just
- 8:31Speaker 1: to diet rashan for the short term, but to make
- 8:35Speaker 1: lifestyle changes. That's why I'm interested. I'm interested in you
- 8:39Speaker 1: making a lifestyle change that you can live with. And
- 8:42Speaker 1: so do I want you to be perfect? No? Do
- 8:45Speaker 1: I expect you to be perfect? Absolutely not. But let
- 8:48Speaker 1: me give you an example. If you know you're going
- 8:50Speaker 1: out to dinner, and you know you're going to a
- 8:52Speaker 1: place that doesn't have the healthiest of foods, I want
- 8:54Speaker 1: you in your mind to say, you know what, tonight,
- 8:57Speaker 1: we're eating at so and so restaurant where it's not
- 8:59Speaker 1: a lot of great choices. So for breakfast and lunch,
- 9:02Speaker 1: I'm gonna be really good. I'm gonna really make sure
- 9:06Speaker 1: that I make smart decisions. So when dinner time comes
- 9:09Speaker 1: and I have whatever I'm gonna have, I don't feel
- 9:11Speaker 1: guilty number one and number two, it's not gonna really
- 9:14Speaker 1: hurt me because I ate so well early the day
- 9:16Speaker 1: that to me is the better way to live life.
- 9:18Speaker 1: You don't want to always be on a restricted, you know,
- 9:21Speaker 1: heavily specified program. I want you to do a fast
- 9:25Speaker 1: burn for nine weeks, then I want you to put
- 9:26Speaker 1: it on the shelf and say, okay, now I am
- 9:29Speaker 1: prepared in all the situations that come at me to
- 9:32Speaker 1: make better decisions. Whether the better decision part comes into
- 9:35Speaker 1: what we're talking about. Your career has always been tied
- 9:38Speaker 1: to I'm not gonna lead a book a little bit
- 9:41Speaker 1: because your role as host of the Doctors, which was
- 9:44Speaker 1: a groundbreaking to me. Also, it was groundbreaking because it
- 9:48Speaker 1: happened during COVID and you are a real doctor. It
- 9:52Speaker 1: affected African Americans overtly, people of color overtly. And so
- 9:57Speaker 1: with that being said, you're role as as happy as
- 10:01Speaker 1: we were because you came on my show. We talked
- 10:04Speaker 1: about it, what you're gonna do, but we all we
- 10:06Speaker 1: all thought that COVID would kind of like come and go,
- 10:09Speaker 1: and now we see it's not gonna go at all.
- 10:11Speaker 1: It's kind of like going to be like the flu.
- 10:13Speaker 1: We're gonna have seasonal uh COVID and eighteen shots. Look,
- 10:17Speaker 1: we talk two questions. The first question is coming into
- 10:20Speaker 1: perspective your role in what you had to play as
- 10:23Speaker 1: the host of the Doctors and COVID eighteen. And then
- 10:25Speaker 1: the long term will be my second of us living
- 10:28Speaker 1: with COVID. Yeah, two great questions. So the reason why
- 10:33Speaker 1: I agreed to host the show this year was because
- 10:36Speaker 1: if you think back before this year, there was a
- 10:40Speaker 1: lot of misinformation, a lot of you know, incredible discredible
- 10:45Speaker 1: information that was being disseminated from the White House on down,
- 10:49Speaker 1: and I felt like the country was confused and that
- 10:52Speaker 1: doctors and scientists were not leading the conversation. If you're
- 10:55Speaker 1: in a health crisis, the doctors and scientists need to
- 10:59Speaker 1: lead the discussion. If you're in a financial crisis, the
- 11:02Speaker 1: economists need to need to discussion. I mean, this is
- 11:04Speaker 1: just how it works. And so I felt like we
- 11:06Speaker 1: had spent a year spinning our wheels listening to all
- 11:09Speaker 1: kinds of nonsense, and so this to me personally, it
- 11:12Speaker 1: was a great opportunity to be on a big show
- 11:16Speaker 1: with a big, flat platform, to bring in experts to
- 11:21Speaker 1: talk about the issues. And I also wanted to bring
- 11:23Speaker 1: in diverse experts because experts come in all shapes and
- 11:27Speaker 1: sizes and all colors and background. So I wanted to
- 11:29Speaker 1: bring people from all walks of life and all experts
- 11:31Speaker 1: from all different voices to come in on the show,
- 11:33Speaker 1: So that, to me, person was very important, and I
- 11:36Speaker 1: think we did a great job of being able to
- 11:38Speaker 1: communicate to the rest of the country all things related
- 11:41Speaker 1: to COVID, whether it was vaccines, treatment, people who are
- 11:44Speaker 1: long haulers, how do you raise kids during COVID, how
- 11:47Speaker 1: do you date during COVID? All these topics were important
- 11:50Speaker 1: and I think that when I look back at my career,
- 11:53Speaker 1: this will have been a very important year because I
- 11:55Speaker 1: had some small say in shaping the conversation and around
- 12:00Speaker 1: COVID and and and dealing with COVID and also trying
- 12:04Speaker 1: to get people on air to talk about it an
- 12:06Speaker 1: incredible way. Now, when you look at the long term
- 12:08Speaker 1: of COVID, however, uh we're at We're at a very
- 12:12Speaker 1: critical point here because people who have not gotten the vaccine,
- 12:17Speaker 1: a lot of them don't want to get the vaccine,
- 12:19Speaker 1: and we need to still reach what's called herd immunity,
- 12:22Speaker 1: which basically says that enough people have either gotten vaccinated
- 12:26Speaker 1: or been infected that the vast majority of the population
- 12:30Speaker 1: is immune to getting sick and infected again HERD immunity. Now,
- 12:36Speaker 1: there are two ways to get to hurt immunity. You
- 12:38Speaker 1: can get there by vaccinating everybody. That's the fastest way
- 12:41Speaker 1: to do it, that's the less costly way to do
- 12:44Speaker 1: as far as life. If you vaccinate everybody, we save lives.
- 12:47Speaker 1: We get hurt immunity. But some people won't take the vaccine.
- 12:51Speaker 1: So what does that mean? We can still retrd immunity.
- 12:54Speaker 1: But what that means is the people who do not
- 12:56Speaker 1: want to take the vaccine eventually will get infected because
- 12:59Speaker 1: the virus is like the cold virus. It's just gonna
- 13:02Speaker 1: stay there, and so those who don't. So imagine a
- 13:05Speaker 1: hundred people, imagine eight people get the vaccine. That means
- 13:09Speaker 1: those eight people are protected. Now you've got twenty people. Okay,
- 13:13Speaker 1: these twenty people who do not want the vaccine. The
- 13:16Speaker 1: virus is going to circulate within them. And then once
- 13:20Speaker 1: you get infected, then you will have some type of immunity.
- 13:23Speaker 1: That's what happens, right, They'll get infected. If they survive,
- 13:26Speaker 1: they will have some immunity. We don't know how long
- 13:28Speaker 1: that immunity lasts. We don't know how long, how good
- 13:30Speaker 1: it is, but they will have some immunity, but what
- 13:32Speaker 1: about the people who get it and will die from
- 13:35Speaker 1: So you're gonna reach herd immunity one way or the other.
- 13:38Speaker 1: I just think we should do it without losing a
- 13:40Speaker 1: lot more loss of life. It's finally here, the season
- 13:43Speaker 1: of celebration, and no matter how you celebrate with family
- 13:46Speaker 1: and friends, whether you're preparing for reis magos or Karamu

- 15:46Speaker 1: of my vaccination shots. At the time of the man,
- 15:48Speaker 1: I feel comfortable. It kind of gave me my light back.

- 15:55Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you. First one the first year,

- 16:42Speaker 1: is great. Dr George great. I love him, he's great,
- 16:46Speaker 1: but he's not you. And so, and that's important that
- 16:50Speaker 1: you understand that because you're just doing your job. You're
- 16:52Speaker 1: you're you're buried at what you do. You you're saving
- 16:54Speaker 1: lives on a regular basis. Sometimes you don't know that
- 16:56Speaker 1: you are seven. You just somethings, just doing your job
- 16:59Speaker 1: like any doctor to do. When you go into the hospital,
- 17:01Speaker 1: I just feel your hospitals is the TV. Your hospital
- 17:04Speaker 1: is social media, your hospital is a public medium, and
- 17:07Speaker 1: so you don't immediately see the results because you're not
- 17:09Speaker 1: there checking on us once a week, or we're not
- 17:11Speaker 1: coming in and checking on with you. But your voice
- 17:14Speaker 1: as an African American talking to us, it's so important
- 17:17Speaker 1: that at this point for me to get you back
- 17:19Speaker 1: on my show, not only to promote your incredible book,
- 17:21Speaker 1: because you've never failed me with your diet planes. I've
- 17:24Speaker 1: used them many times. And I've told you many times
- 17:26Speaker 1: when the book that I recommend my mother to use
- 17:30Speaker 1: your book and used just roll, I said, yes, she's
- 17:32Speaker 1: using it right now, Okay, and happen. And so what
- 17:36Speaker 1: is your role? And I am I putting too much
- 17:39Speaker 1: on your plate? No, no, you're not, you know it. Actually,
- 17:43Speaker 1: While I am happy on one hand, UM to hear
- 17:46Speaker 1: you being laudatory and complimentary about what I do and
- 17:50Speaker 1: it's impact on people, it's also very sad to me.
- 17:52Speaker 1: It's sad to me because there are a lot of
- 17:54Speaker 1: other undiscovered doctor hens out there who are going to
- 17:59Speaker 1: be better than me at what I do, who are
- 18:02Speaker 1: equally educated, equally articulate, equally informative, and equally helpful. Uh.
- 18:07Speaker 1: And they're out there, brothers and sisters. Uh. And you know,
- 18:12Speaker 1: it's lonely being the only UM. And it shouldn't be
- 18:15Speaker 1: that way. We need to have more of our young
- 18:17Speaker 1: brothers and sisters be given the opportunity not to become DR,
- 18:21Speaker 1: even to be better than dr in Uh. You know,
- 18:23Speaker 1: I'll accept that I'm a pioneer in a way and
- 18:26Speaker 1: I but my hope is I've paved away for more.
- 18:29Speaker 1: I'm not one of those people who become successful and
- 18:32Speaker 1: then don't turn around uh and and not try to
- 18:34Speaker 1: help other people to get through the gates. I want
- 18:36Speaker 1: as many of us to get to the gates as possible.
- 18:39Speaker 1: And I'm just hoping that in this in this this time,
- 18:43Speaker 1: this moment of racial awakening and awareness, that people will
- 18:47Speaker 1: reevaluate all aspects of our society and look at TV
- 18:52Speaker 1: and look at the people who we bring on to
- 18:54Speaker 1: talk about education and law and politics and medicine, and
- 18:59Speaker 1: realize we gotta have diverse voices talking. It just can't
- 19:03Speaker 1: be the same people all the time. So while I've
- 19:05Speaker 1: been very blessed to have my platform, and you guys
- 19:08Speaker 1: invite me always to be on your platforms, there are
- 19:11Speaker 1: a lot of younger brothers and sisters who can do
- 19:13Speaker 1: the same thing, and I want them to have a chance.
- 19:15Speaker 1: As I said before the show started, listen, man, I'm
- 19:18Speaker 1: getting older. I've been doing this for almost twenty five years.
- 19:22Speaker 1: It's time for me to go out and play more
- 19:24Speaker 1: golf and be with my family. And I still write books.
- 19:27Speaker 1: But but I want to leave the stage and hand
- 19:31Speaker 1: it off to somebody else. UM. But people who are
- 19:34Speaker 1: in charge of who gets on the stage need to
- 19:38Speaker 1: have the awareness, UM, and the open mindedness to bring
- 19:42Speaker 1: others in. And that's that's what's important to me, Rashan,
- 19:45Speaker 1: is that other people get a chance to voice. I
- 19:48Speaker 1: am not uniquely intelligent. There are other intelligent people who
- 19:51Speaker 1: have gone to great schools, who have great information, who
- 19:54Speaker 1: can say the same thing, if not saying in a
- 19:56Speaker 1: better way than I say. I want them to have
- 19:58Speaker 1: a voice and have an audience. I'm opening um that
- 20:01Speaker 1: when people look back on my career, they will say
- 20:06Speaker 1: not how many bestsellers that I have in books, but
- 20:09Speaker 1: that they'll say, you know what, Dr Ian Smith was
- 20:11Speaker 1: a pioneer, and he opened the doors for all these
- 20:14Speaker 1: people to be able to come out and talk to
- 20:16Speaker 1: the world. Uh and represent us as African Americans and
- 20:20Speaker 1: a respectful, proud um and professional manner. Okay, cool, you
- 20:24Speaker 1: know as they said, you know you said some great things, sir,
- 20:27Speaker 1: Thank you. You know, you know you know, but I gotta,
- 20:29Speaker 1: I gotta. It's rebuttle on you. Those books that you
- 20:34Speaker 1: write are important because you're in African American and guess
- 20:37Speaker 1: what books are a number one because they were bought
- 20:39Speaker 1: by black people. So that means that you have you
- 20:42Speaker 1: have you have cleared the way as a pioneer for
- 20:45Speaker 1: people to respect medical advice, die advice, life advice from
- 20:51Speaker 1: a person that doesn't look like them. That's why you're important.
- 20:53Speaker 1: That's why I can't push you aside as you say,
- 20:56Speaker 1: I'm ready to go play golf. Got all that. That's
- 20:58Speaker 1: where vacations are far. Okay, we're talking about we're talking
- 21:01Speaker 1: about legacy creates a path. You know what I'm saying.
- 21:04Speaker 1: I'm talking about when I'm in trouble, I need my voice.
- 21:07Speaker 1: You know, when I was growing up man before the
- 21:10Speaker 1: foul cheese and all the world. Dr Welby m D
- 21:13Speaker 1: you know my man, all right, And so these are
- 21:15Speaker 1: the things that we grow up on. I'm just saying
- 21:17Speaker 1: is that you have become an institution. And I'm just
- 21:20Speaker 1: telling you just slow down, Doc, okay, and realized be
- 21:23Speaker 1: appreciated with what I'm saying about. I know you are.
- 21:26Speaker 1: I know men, you go way back, but twenty five
- 21:28Speaker 1: years is just twenty five years now. Uh Now, if
- 21:31Speaker 1: you come on the show with show and come on
- 21:33Speaker 1: the show with the Pope barely gray beard and you're
- 21:35Speaker 1: looking I'm saying it might be our last interview with
- 21:37Speaker 1: Dr Smith. He looked back. Can you find his twin brothers?
- 21:42Speaker 1: Does the Twain brother look like that twin brother? We
- 21:44Speaker 1: really got problems. But you're not doing that. You're stabilizing yourself.
- 21:48Speaker 1: And this is why I said you can't go away
- 21:50Speaker 1: because see now we're battling age because see what happens
- 21:53Speaker 1: is people stopped dreaming when they hit a certain age.
- 21:56Speaker 1: They started fifty go, I can't do that sixth decade. See,
- 21:59Speaker 1: I know it's seventy eight and eighty. You're still gonna
- 22:02Speaker 1: be dr Ian Smith. We might be on book thirty
- 22:04Speaker 1: by the end, you might be you. You're gonna be
- 22:07Speaker 1: on another council. You're still telling us the direction and
- 22:09Speaker 1: the reason I look at you this way, the reason
- 22:11Speaker 1: I have to talk to you is this way. And
- 22:12Speaker 1: I know you're gonna of a comment about this, And
- 22:14Speaker 1: I wanted is that the next battle where you at
- 22:17Speaker 1: right now is letting people know age should not define
- 22:21Speaker 1: your dream? Am I correct about that? Let me tell
- 22:24Speaker 1: you something, uh statement I came up with recently that
- 22:27Speaker 1: I'm starting to like, and I say it more and more.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Even if you live to be a hundred, life is
- 22:34Speaker 1: still short. And by that I mean is that you
- 22:38Speaker 1: are never too old, uh to dream, to chase dreams,
- 22:42Speaker 1: to deform new dreams. Think about it. Life is so
- 22:45Speaker 1: short you should spend the entirety of your life in
- 22:49Speaker 1: the pursuit of fun and happiness and your dreams. And
- 22:53Speaker 1: it's not just about checking things off of a list
- 22:55Speaker 1: by the way because when I check some awful lists,
- 22:57Speaker 1: I add something else because that is what used to
- 23:00Speaker 1: me going. You want to you want to keep going.
- 23:02Speaker 1: So I agree with you that you know, as we age,
- 23:05Speaker 1: we tend to think, well, you know it's a different
- 23:08Speaker 1: season of your life. Well, yeah, life is seasons. But
- 23:11Speaker 1: that does not mean, Rashan, that you stop the pursuit,
- 23:14Speaker 1: that you stopped the dreaming, that you stopped looking up
- 23:17Speaker 1: at the stars and thinking and wondering. Those things I
- 23:20Speaker 1: think are the true texture and magic and beauty of
- 23:24Speaker 1: our life. What grows in the forest trees, Sure you
- 23:28Speaker 1: know what else grows in the forest, Our imagination, our
- 23:32Speaker 1: sense of wonder and our family bonds grow too, because
- 23:35Speaker 1: when we disconnect from this and connect with this, we
- 23:42Speaker 1: reconnect with each other. The forest is closer than you think.

- 24:57Speaker 1: Let's listen. Now we program into p gram and broken
- 25:00Speaker 1: down into the three parts. We're gonna talk about ignition,
- 25:03Speaker 1: into mission, and acceleration. Now, before we go there, when
- 25:06Speaker 1: you say that the power of negative energy balance. What
- 25:10Speaker 1: exactly does that mean? Yeah, before I explain that, let
- 25:13Speaker 1: me just say two people listening, go to my Facebook group.
- 25:16Speaker 1: We've got twelve thousand people doing fast burned together. The
- 25:19Speaker 1: Facebook group's name is called fast burn Challenge fast Burned Challenge,
- 25:23Speaker 1: And if you're not on Facebook, you can do it
- 25:25Speaker 1: through my Instagram which is at dr Ian Smith Spell
- 25:28Speaker 1: the Doctor out I A and Smith. Let me explain
- 25:31Speaker 1: you the subtitle the power of negative Energy Balance in life.
- 25:35Speaker 1: We want positive energy. That's calm ex spiritual energy. This
- 25:37Speaker 1: is different. This is food energy. So food. When we
- 25:40Speaker 1: say calories in the food, that's measurement of food. Energy
- 25:43Speaker 1: in the food. Food is energy. And so when you
- 25:46Speaker 1: eat more calories then you burn off for sean, you
- 25:49Speaker 1: end up having what's called positive energy balance. You have
- 25:52Speaker 1: more calories than you burned off. The body has to
- 25:54Speaker 1: do something with that energy. Energy just doesn't disappear. That's
- 25:57Speaker 1: not how it works. What does the body do with
- 25:59Speaker 1: that extra energy? It stores it as fat. Fat is
- 26:03Speaker 1: the storage form of energy. Okay, why do bears uh
- 26:08Speaker 1: you know gouge uh sorry, gorge on food before winter comes,
- 26:14Speaker 1: before hibernation. They do that because they're eating eating, eating, eating,
- 26:18Speaker 1: and they're getting fatter and fatter and fatter the blubber
- 26:21Speaker 1: because they're gonna eat that blubber during the winter when
- 26:24Speaker 1: their food source is very scarce. Well, same thing with
- 26:28Speaker 1: our body. Our body will take the extra energy and
- 26:30Speaker 1: put it as fat. Now that's positive energy balance. What
- 26:34Speaker 1: you want to be, however, is the negative energy value
- 26:37Speaker 1: then bounced just the opposite, so and fast firm. You're
- 26:41Speaker 1: still gonna have all your meals and all your snacks, However,
- 26:44Speaker 1: the amount of energy you get from them will not
- 26:47Speaker 1: be enough to meet the demands of your body's energy needs.
- 26:51Speaker 1: So your body has to find the energy from somewhere.
- 26:54Speaker 1: It says, where do I go to get energy? Oh?
- 26:56Speaker 1: There I go. It goes into the fat stores. It
- 26:59Speaker 1: takes the fat, it melts it or breaks it down,
- 27:02Speaker 1: it converts it into fuel that your body can use.
- 27:06Speaker 1: So when you're in a negative energy balanced state, that
- 27:10Speaker 1: is when you drive into those fat stores and break
- 27:13Speaker 1: that fat down. And that's why I'm fast burned. Not
- 27:16Speaker 1: only are people losing fifteen and seventeen pounds on average
- 27:18Speaker 1: and nine weeks, but they're noticing six seven eight inches
- 27:21Speaker 1: gone around their midsection because the book is putting them
- 27:25Speaker 1: into this negative energy balanced state. Now that's that's great. Now,
- 27:29Speaker 1: But you broke the book down into three parts, and
- 27:32Speaker 1: we know it's nine weeks, it's four one week that
- 27:34Speaker 1: is the middle week is worn, and it's four the
- 27:36Speaker 1: closest eye. It's called ignition, intermission, and acceleration. Why are
- 27:40Speaker 1: these keywords in the whole process of the nine week
- 27:43Speaker 1: diet program. Well, because the idea is imagining the analogy
- 27:47Speaker 1: of a car. So the first four weeks are the ignition.
- 27:50Speaker 1: You're just starting, you're just getting going, and so people
- 27:53Speaker 1: slowly make changes. Remember this is not about being a
- 27:55Speaker 1: diet this is about teaching you lifestyle changes. So people
- 27:58Speaker 1: for the first four weeks are just learning how to
- 28:01Speaker 1: eat differently, how to move differently. So it slowly takes
- 28:04Speaker 1: you in there so that it sticks. When you do
- 28:06Speaker 1: things too fast and too dramatic, people tend not to
- 28:08Speaker 1: hold onto it. But I slowly do it for the
- 28:10Speaker 1: first four weeks, and by the way, people lose about
- 28:13Speaker 1: their total weight loss for the nine weeks in those
- 28:15Speaker 1: first four weeks. Right then, the middle is intermission. It
- 28:18Speaker 1: is what it says, it's a break. You take a week,
- 28:21Speaker 1: you relax a little bit, reassess where things are, try
- 28:25Speaker 1: to put into practice some things you've learned over the
- 28:27Speaker 1: first four weeks, and you're good to go. Now the
- 28:29Speaker 1: last four weeks is acceleration, pedal to the metal. That's
- 28:34Speaker 1: what we're really driving into our fat stores, really melting
- 28:37Speaker 1: that fat, really losing the weight, really getting into that
- 28:41Speaker 1: that nice sculpted look, that change in appearance, and the
- 28:45Speaker 1: change and how we feel situation, and so that's what
- 28:48Speaker 1: the acceleration is. Those are the nine weeks. If you
- 28:50Speaker 1: hit your target, you put the book up, and now
- 28:53Speaker 1: you learn how to make the right decisions. If you
- 28:56Speaker 1: haven't hit your target, you do another cycle until you
- 28:59Speaker 1: need to get until you've gotten all the way off
- 29:01Speaker 1: that you wanted. But that is how the built the
- 29:03Speaker 1: book is built. Well, this is your twenty book. I
- 29:07Speaker 1: just gotta ask this question, what have you learned in
- 29:10Speaker 1: each book? Because each one has a different take, a
- 29:13Speaker 1: different chemical makeup, of different reason why you're attacking. They're
- 29:16Speaker 1: never the same book. I can attest to that they
- 29:18Speaker 1: all have a different scope of knowledge that you're providing
- 29:21Speaker 1: us about our bodies. What have you learned from from
- 29:24Speaker 1: book to book? This book I learned that number one,
- 29:29Speaker 1: that people are able to do different types of intermittent fasting.
- 29:34Speaker 1: That even though the science may say that time restricted
- 29:38Speaker 1: feeding is the best type of intimittent fasting for results,
- 29:43Speaker 1: that that doesn't work for everyone. Everyone can't necessarily follow
- 29:46Speaker 1: that plan. That's why I used the five two method
- 29:48Speaker 1: in the book. Also, so I learned that people need
- 29:51Speaker 1: to choose an intimitt and fasting strategy that works for
- 29:53Speaker 1: best for them. The other thing I learned is that
- 29:55Speaker 1: you actually can keep into a program some of the
- 30:00Speaker 1: won't call them cheap foods, but some of the fun
- 30:02Speaker 1: foods that people enjoy. You can still keep them in
- 30:05Speaker 1: a program, but keep them in a way that people
- 30:08Speaker 1: do not feel deprived, but they also are not over indulging,
- 30:12Speaker 1: and you can still help them lose weight with the
- 30:14Speaker 1: whole process of this. Uh, just a little little little
- 30:17Speaker 1: publicity here, I know you said the word listening. Now
- 30:20Speaker 1: I'm now on in television. I have my own network
- 30:23Speaker 1: that I'm own in Atlanta, Georgia, So hopefully I get
- 30:26Speaker 1: more sales for years on the A I B t
- 30:28Speaker 1: V two million homes in northern Georgia. And so I
- 30:32Speaker 1: just love the fact that I'm talking to a friend,
- 30:34Speaker 1: and I tease you when you talk about that old talk,
- 30:37Speaker 1: I'll get tired. You know, man, We're gonna be interviewing
- 30:40Speaker 1: each other and helping each other, supporting each other. Because
- 30:43Speaker 1: when I talk to you, man, and and we both
- 30:45Speaker 1: have seen our journeys and and I just smile when
- 30:48Speaker 1: I see your journey every time, because it's tied to
- 30:51Speaker 1: hard work. And I just like for you to close
- 30:53Speaker 1: and to everybody know that, you know, we all have
- 30:55Speaker 1: dreams and all this seems like you were saying there
- 30:57Speaker 1: are other dr Ian Smith's out there, but guess what,
- 31:00Speaker 1: There's only one dr Ian Smith. And that's what it
- 31:02Speaker 1: allows me to say that you are a blessing and
- 31:05Speaker 1: you have to continue to win. With that being said,
- 31:07Speaker 1: what are your closing thoughts? My closing thoughts are very simple.
- 31:11Speaker 1: That life is very fragile and very precious, and when
- 31:15Speaker 1: you value life, your own life, that means you automatically
- 31:19Speaker 1: value the life of others. That we have to live
- 31:21Speaker 1: and and comport ourselves in a way where we're respectful
- 31:25Speaker 1: to our other lives and to the environment, but also
- 31:27Speaker 1: that we are always chasing. We're chasing to be better,
- 31:31Speaker 1: We're chasing to be happy. We're chasing to fulfill our dreams.
- 31:34Speaker 1: When you have that type of drive in your life,
- 31:37Speaker 1: every day you get up like I do, and you
- 31:39Speaker 1: say to yourself, I'm gonna squeeze the most out of
- 31:43Speaker 1: this day because tomorrow is not promised to any of us.
- 31:46Speaker 1: So I thank you for being your friend. I thank
- 31:48Speaker 1: you for always having me on your show, and I
- 31:50Speaker 1: encourage others out there who I may never meet, that
- 31:53Speaker 1: you can do it too. Absolutely. Thank you dr Ian
- 31:56Speaker 1: Smith for coming in my book on my show fast Burn.
- 31:58Speaker 1: The Power Negative Energy Balance us five right now and

- 32:09Speaker 1: thought about myself because I saw something a little rib

- 32:13Speaker 1: saw the kid in my whole age. Okay, so life
