[Music]

thank you

welcome to chamber exchange a TV show my

name is Tim Murray president CEO of the

Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce

and chamber exchange the TV show was

brought to you by our sponsor Bank

Hometown who we very much appreciate

allowing us to have this conversation

with you our viewers but also with our

guests and I'm very pleased to have with

us in our opening segment Phil George

who is the owner of holistic health

practitioners welcome Phil great to be

here yeah we're having a little chat as

they were getting everything warmed up

and ready to go here with the cameras in

the background

you have a really kind of interesting

business and you get the logo and the

hat on little little branding but you're

a clinical biochemist by background

correct and it was fascinating you've

gotten used that you know training and

knowledge to to help people and

companies and organizations we mentioned

the Veterans Administration right um

work on you know Health and Wellness in

in a variety of ways right uh What uh we

we talked before

um the VA brought me in basically to try

to get the the veterans healthy and so I

gave a lot of seminars I have slide

shows and I make it a very interactive

so it's not a lecture you've done this

across New England you've gone all the

NBA facilities I've gone in they they do

Retreats I've done Retreats for PTSD I

actually did one with lgbqt Community I

did I did the lgbqt uh veterans

and uh I try to make it entertaining

um and try to make jokes uh new kitchen

new kitchen uh as a sponsor they give

out gift cards so I'll ask I'll ask

questions they're related to health so

I'll get people involved so it's not a

boring lecture like if you when you go

to college you'll probably remember five

people yeah professors that were

entertaining so I try to make it very

entertaining very Interactive

it went so well with the veterans it

occurred to me that this would be great

for businesses

um the CDC did a study and said that the

average employer is losing over sixteen

hundred dollars

per year per employee so that adds up to

a lot of money depending on the number

of employees yeah I did I thought I did

the average I think I looked did a

little research the average is around 40

employees that's like 70 000 a year

that's a lot of money

so by the by the business owner uh

bringing me in and getting their

employees health that you're not only

having a short-term uh impact you're

having a long-term impact if we could

cut that number in half

the other thing that I found was

interesting I'll ask you this Tim uh in

terms of employees what is the most uh

what what do employees find is the they

get the the greatest satisfaction out of

a job what do you think it is ah

completing a task I don't know it's

being appreciated right okay yeah it's

not the money it's that they're being

appreciated so my thinking is what

better way is there for uh for a

business owner to show I appreciate you

than to make you healthy so we not only

uh you know get them healthy to begin

with we keep them healthy the other

thing that happens even though I'm there

for the hour doing my my presentation

it's going to become the water cooler

talk and that's what I found also with

the vets

when I go back into the Vets my each

each successive week uh I say okay guys

what worked what didn't work like we

talked about this during during the

break and when the guy said one one hint

I give is okay guys all I want you to do

you probably heard the expression

sitting uh sitting is the new smoking

right okay they found even athletes if

they you sit too long you wind up you

have what they call the increase of what

they call all course mortality which

means you die for any reasons just by

sitting too long not to mention this

stuff right right going over you could

back problems you get this and

everything else

so I said okay guys what I want you to

do is every commercial whether you're

dvring or not I want you just to get up

and I just want you to walk around all I

want you to do

simple thing to do we talked about

people that like to make changes this is

this is simple so what happened and the

guys came back that's the exercise the

activity side and then I'm sure there's

the whole nutrition nutrition nutrition

habits yeah but one small change one

small change can make a huge difference

so and with the Vets came back to me and

they said you know what that one stupid

thing you told me made all the

difference the other thing okay another

question for you Tim what what's a hot

seat here what's the largest what's the

largest muscle in the human body

the brain right it breaks out of muscle

I don't know muscle head right muscle

head Caitlyn muscle head right

I was an American Studies major science

and you know biology but not my thing

okay the largest Caitlyn do you know

what the largest muscle is she doesn't

know okay yeah it's the glute glute yeah

okay and the second the second gluteus

maximus right

and the second the second largest muscle

is the quadriceps yeah right here right

so think about it Tim you get up you

just walk around you just activated your

largest muscle right the other thing

muscles are a huge sugar hog so by you

walking around it's sucking in that

Sugar like crazy so it lowers your

glucose so if you're a diabetic it's

going to lower that you're going to

require less insulin just that one

simple thing

the guys get into it after a few weeks

then it was you know after you eat

nobody what I want you to do I want you

to go out for a little walk after you

eat right right because Tim what you're

activating is your quadriceps and your

glutes the largest muscles in your body

and they're sucking that sugar right

into it the other thing is we're walking

there's a condition called sacropenia

all that means it's a wasting away the

muscles as you get older right you have

you lose more and more muscle mass and

they found out the reason that older

people fall is not because they lose

their balance which which is what most

people think the reason this is the

muscles are so weak they hit a little

thing and they fall over and you've

probably seen studies once you break

your hip it's all over right right so by

doing those Simple Things by just simply

getting up and walking around uh and

doing that that that's one big thing the

other big thing you've heard the new big

thing now is intermittent fasting time

restricted eating yeah okay right I put

this is on the Peter blue show you

recently interviewed by Peter

with them

I got you and oh I have my own radio

show okay I Gotta Give a plug day it's

it's Wellness Wave radio

wcrn yeah you guys can call in we give

our prizes I'll give you hints and

everything else so um again again feel

free to tune it to that

but what I told Peter about intermittent

fasting quickly uh what happens is you

have something in your liver called

glycogen stores in other words you have

eating eating glucose so much is stored

in in your in your liver what happens is

after you go over a period of time you

exhaust all of your liver stores okay

the number is about 12 12 to 14 hours so

people think well how can I possibly go

12 hours without eating yeah how how

long do you you're supposed to sleep uh

sleeping probably seven eight hours okay

eight hours and let's say uh you don't

eat too much before you go to sleep I

joke with Peter about this how much is

eight and two Tim Ten okay

less you can hang in two more hours when

you wake up before you have breakfast

there you go you got your 12 hours right

there let's say I want to eat breakfast

then do four hours before you go to bed

that's that there's your 12 hours you

can do it any way you want to depending

on what and how you feel so you think

the intermittent fasting is is so huge

it's a good thing oh it's very good yeah

okay because what happens is after you

go through all all of your stores of

sugar the second the second fuel fuel uh

that you want to use is your fat yeah

what happens your body says I have no

more sugar

it starts pulling the fat out of you

yeah that's how you lose weight they've

done studies it's called a little

complicated it's called ISO caloric

which means they feed people the same

thing so I say to you Tim you can eat

the same crap you've eaten before all I

want you to do is go let's go that 12 to

14 hours they've done many studies on

this and what they found was just by

doing that one thing not changing your

diet right just doing that you lose

weight got it got it so we got one
