Next, I want you to identify
your avatars profession
What is the profession that is most likely to buy your
membership, to buy your product ,to buy your service?
Once you know that you can figure out the next thing what are these people's challenges?
I want you to identify three challenges that your avatar has whether that's safety and security lack of time and
resources
Lack of friendships or connections, whatever it is for your avatar
Think about what their needs are because here's the trick once you can create this profile and once you can identify
their challenges you can then solve their challenges

Top 10 Scary Canadian Urban Legends - Part 2 - Duration: 11:22.
Welcome back everyone - I thought Id return to Canada for our latest Urban Legends video.
Canada is the 2nd biggest country on Earth - thats a lot of land - thats a lot of land
for some creepy, mysterious and unexplainable things to happen - there was no way I was
gonna be able to fit it all into one video so Im back today with this - my name is Danny
Burke and this is the Top 10 Scary Canadian Urban Legends Part 2.
Starting off at number 10 we have the Tunnel Monster of Cabbagetown[a].
In August 1978, a man called Ernest had a run in with a strange creature in Toronto.
He and his wife were raising kittens when one of them escaped.
He stumbled into a cave nearby where he saw, in his own words -A living cnightmare that
Ill never forget- … Ernest described the monster as -long and thin, almost like a monkey,
three ft long, large teeth, weighing maybe 30lbs with slate grey fur- … he also said
its eyes were orange and red and slanted.
Before he even had time to process what was infront of him, the creature spoke to him.
It said -Go away, go away- in a hissing voice.
Then, it scurried off down a long tunnel.
Ernest was done, he got out of there as fast as he could, shaking with fear.
He never approached the media with his story.
He was afraid people would think that he was drunk or crazy.
His story only reached media when people began to leak it to the local newspaper.
He only agreed to talk if his last name was hidden.
The article contained this artists rendition of the creature.
It looks humanoid in nature but out of proportion, as if it had been deformed by its years scuttling
around in the Toronto sewers.
Ever since then, people have reported seeing the Tunnel Monster, still lurking in the shadows
…
Moving on to number 9 we have the Alien Base[b].
In 2017, media outlets started reporting sightings of strange lights hovering over Lake Ontario.
Within a few days, people were convinced that this was proof of alien activity.
Conspiracy theorists believe that there is an alien base which causes strange light patterns
- these orbs of light have been seen flying in the general direction of a local power
plant.
Is there anything behind that?
Perhaps.
The stories reached such a climax that the government was forced to issue a statement.
They said that the Canadian armed forces were conducting training operations in the area
and those exercises may have caused the visual phenomenon.
Of course, this had done little to quieten down the conspiracy theorists who are now
more certain than ever of the alien base beneath the lake …
Moving on to number 8 we have Lemon Mine[c].
Ever since the 1870s, people in Alberta have talked about Lemon mine - a rich gold mine
that is somewhere out there in the Alberta Rockies.
Nobody has been able to find it but a geologist Ron Stewart once claimed that he had found
it.
Skeptics said there was no proof the mine ever existed at all.
According to legend, the mine was first discovered in 1870 when two prospectors, Frank Jack and
Black Jack, stumbled across more gold in a cave than they had ever seen.
Once their joy subsided though, the men began to argue - they couldn't agree on whether
to stay put or return to the mine in the spring.
The argument escalated and in a rage Lemon grabbed an axe and murdered Blackjack as he
slept.
He was consumed by guilt and wandered out into the hills, never able to find the mine
again.
Ever since then, nobody else has - and the only clues lie in this murderous story …
Coming in at the number 7 spot now we have Gibraltar Point Lighthouse[d].
This is the oldest remaining lighthouse on the Great Lakes and the second oldest in Canada.
It was built in 1808 and guided ships for 150 years before being decommissioned in 1958.
The first lighthouse keeper was man called J.P Rademuller.
He disappeared under mysterious circumstances on January 2nd 1815.
Legend says he was murdered by two soldiers who had been enjoying his home brewed beer.
The killers dismembered him and buried his body in a few graves near the lighthouse.
The brutal death lack of justice is said to have made the man into a ghost.
The story seems like many other ghost stories but it does seem to have a bit of physical
evidence tied to it.
One former lighthouse keeper reported digging up a coffin in the area that I described before
- he found a small coffin and inside was a single human jaw bone …
Coming in at the number 6 spot now we have The Nanabozho[e].
This is an old story from Canadian folklore that originates among the Ojibwa tribe.
The legend goes that long, long ago - a beautiful woman lived on the moon and watched over the
Earth.
She was loved by all the people except two women who were very jealous of her.
So, one night, they pushed her off the moon.
The woman fell off the moon and fell into a lake.
There, the local tribe greeted her and built her a wigwam.
Eventually, they came to her for advice.
They named her Nokomis and after a very long time - the woman fell pregnant.
She gave birth to a daughter - Winona.
When she grew up, she was courted by many of the braves in the surrounding tribes.
One day, Winona was walking in the forest when the wind decided he wanted to steal her,
so the wind swept her up and took her out west to put her in a shack.
Nokomis was devastated and tried to use magic to bring her daughter back but nothing work.
An eagle visited her and told her what the wind did to her and said that the wind beat
Winona.
The tale continues and follows Nokomis and her attempts to bring her daughter back, fighting
through the elements and brutal tragedy - its a legend that has stood the test of time …
Moving on to number 5 we have The Lady In Red[f].
The Lower Bay Subway Station is Toronto is famous among paranormal investigators.
Many people have claimed it is haunted - specifically - by the lady in red.
People say she had black holes for eyes.
Her legs are nowhere to be seen as she floats along the railway tracks.
Even subway workers have reported seeing the Lady in Red.
Some have said they experience unusually cold drafts blowing down the tracks in areas where
cold drafts should be physically impossible.
Of course, the next question is who is the Lady in Red?
Well, some believe that she was a woman who either jumped or was pushed into the tracks
when a train came by.
Some of the subway staff believes that her ghost came to reside in the old pump room
and uses that as her base to head out and haunt the tracks.
Despite the many stories about the Lady in Red, nobody has reported making contact with
her and hearing the story from the horses mouth …
Moving on to number 4 now we have The Sasquatch[g].
I was surprised I didnt mention this one in the first video but here we are!
The sasquatch is said to be a large ape like creature that lives along the West Coast of
British Columbia and Northern California.
Its often described as a bipedal creature - 2.75m in height and 360kg in weight.
Theyre covered in long dark hair and leave large 50 cm footprints that amount to most
of the proof provided by believers.
The sightings are not a recent thing either - going way back to 1884 there was an article
that described the capture of a half man half beast near Yale British Columbia.
The people who found the creature described is as -something of a gorilla type- that resembled
a human covered in thick, glossy black hair.
The creature was said to be found unconscious on some railway tracks.
When it awoke it was chased away by a group of men.
In the years since then, evidence for the Sasquatch had amounted to first hand accounts,
tracks and bits of fur left behind - not enough for scientific confirmation - but enough to
keep the legend alive …
Moving on to number 3 now we have The Soldiers Tower[h].
Students at the University of Toronto are well aware of the many ghost tales that surround
the almost 200 year old establishment.
One of the most famous is perhaps the Soldiers Tower.
Its a memorial to the fallen Canadian soldiers of WW1.
However, the bell tower is also known for a grizzly tale.
Legend says that in the 1930s, a worker went to polish the bells at the top of the tower.
In a freak accident, he fell to his tragic death on the sidewalk directly under the tower.
In the years since then, people claim they have seen the mans ghost repeat this tragedy
over and over again, spiraling down and landing on the pavement before disappearing into thin
air.
Ive saved the most disturbing part till the end - some witnesses have described the apparition
as having the flesh and blood of a human being before he disappears into the ground.
I don't know why but that makes any ghost about 5 times scarier.
Gross.
Moving on to number 2 now we have The [i]Rom.
The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto is over 100 years old and full of fascinating artifacts.
Among the many ghostly inhabitants - two are always talked about.
One of them is Charles Trick Currelly - he was the original director of the museum.
People say theyve seen him wearing a nightshirt and wandering through the East Asiatic collections.
Staff have reported strange occurrences in this gallery and have even seen the director
on occasion.
Why is there?
Does he have unfinished work?
It has to be something serious to haunt your place of work for eternity … the other ghost
is said to be of a little girl called Celeste.
Staff and visitors alike have reported seeing her tiny apparition sitting in the McLaughlin
Planetarium watching the shows.
The planetarium has been closed for years since the last sightings and nobody is quite
sure if she still wanders among the seats there, waiting for one more show …
And finally at number 1 we have The Bashful Monster.[j] Thats the name given to this creature
that some say is like the Canadian cousin of the loch ness monster.
For over a century, locals of Okanagan Lake in British Columbia have talked about a monster
that they refer to simply as Ogopogo.
There have been over a thousand sightings.
The native americans in the area speak of the monster.
They refer to it as Naitaka or Lake Devil.
According to their own legend, when their tribe arrived in the area, they had to try
and distract the fearsome monster by throwing a small animal into the lake so that they
could cross!
Descriptions of the creature are varied but some people have said it looks like a frog
from the front and a dinosaur from the back.
If youre struggling to picture that - don't worry - everyone does - only the people who
have seen Ogopogo will ever know what it truly likes …
And that is that!
A while since urban legends
Back on that?
No?
Why?
Where to next?
In the mean time …

Why Are Young Adults So Fragile? | We The Internet TV - Duration: 1:58.
I know Jonathan Haidt has talked about this, about the level of depression among college students, too,
where they aren't able to handle this, and when I hear about that,
it definitely changes the way that I look at the way that they're responding to these things.
Where it's like, at least I have a little bit of an idea of where they're coming from.
But I wonder, how do you then change things so that they are capable of doing that.
Because, for one thing, it's so easy to just say, "Oh snowflakes!"
[LENORE] Yeah, and get down on the "helicopter parents" when even if you don't want to helicopter,
you leave your kid in the car...
[LOU] You could be arrested! [LENORE] And somebody screams at you.
[LOU] So, what can you do? [LENORE] I have an answer! Call on me!
[LOU] Does anyone here know? Please, please Lenore!
[LENORE] So, LetGrow has two things that we're doing in schools.
One is the LetGrow project, where teachers tell the kids to go home and they have to do, for their homework,
one thing on their own: run an errand, make dinner, walk to a friend's house, get yourself to the bus.
And because everyone else is doing it, and because you're forced to do it by the school,
the parents, who've been...they don't know where the milestones are anymore!
They don't know what age you can let your kid play outside or trick-or-treat.
So, but everybody's doing it, so they let their kids do it, and then the kids start comparing notes.
"I went to the store!" "I went and got a slurpee!"
And then it becomes normal again.
And the people who are the most excited by it are the parents,
because they're so proud when the kid comes home and they've done something on their own.
So that sort of breaks the ice.
And the other thing is keeping the schools open for free play after school.
So you have all these kids, all different ages, coming up with a game, arguing about it,
changing the rules -- that's democracy -- and they're off their devices, so they're just playing!
Like we used to do. I don't know, with the horses in Uzbekistan, but the rest of us, here in our country!

Going to a Small Town in Quebec Trucker Rudi 01-08-19 Vlog#1647 - Duration: 17:18.
hey good morning good morning guys guess what I'm going to show you how much snow
we had gotten there I already cleaned this part I mean we didn't get too much
over here I guess we did have more last night according to my looks but I clean
most of the snow off already up here all of this was all covered in snow same
thing on this hole you couldn't even see this black box right there and the noise
here right there is my my bunk heater but I see the snow is melting a little
bit I don't know if you guys can see that it was dripping right there a
little bit but look at all of that underneath it here all of that is
covered by it was all covered right there too and I clean all of that
already last night but then let's take a look on there Nita here whoo look at
that there is still a lot of snow right there too oh yeah yeah yeah this this
whole thing was all covered in snow so see right there is already some snow
that fell off and I'm hoping that it will warm up a little bit and even more
snow will fall off let's take a look from the back here yeah look at all of
this up here all of these cross members they're all see how this is this is how
it was on the front there to like like same thing like that all of that covered
in ice right so I already pulled up a little bit just so you can see all the
tires got one they got hot it melts a little bit I always do that before I go
to bed right my hole lights were covered I already cleaned all of that yeah up
there I would like to clean a little bit more one of the lights is not really
visible but anyways we're just getting ours our day started checking on
everything making sure everything is I mean I already pretty much did that
but just showing you guys a little bit right on what everything looks like how
much snow we have all that stuff and um I bet you I'm a thousand or fifteen
hundred pounds heavier than I was yesterday so I'm hoping a lot of the
snow will get knocked off as I dry so way I get a little bit lighter but
anyways we gotta get going hit the road so coming right with me
so let's go here we go guys it is time to go see how the road is going to be
today and like I told you guys previously I'm really really hoping I'll
be I'll be losing a few pounds of that snow oh I see the Sutter Penner has
already left know where he went and off he went to go fuel up or what but I
don't see him in the fuel either and so he's already left oh yeah yay yes he's
in a hurry I didn't see him leave but he'll certainly left yeah you see all
this up here like they haven't cleaned this car to the driveway yet so it's
hopefully yeah we should be alright there we go get back on on the road here
and
see how the road is going to be but it still looks like there is quite a bit of
snow on the road yet I hope that will that will be cleaned up later and
they'll put quite a bit of salt on a road and hopefully that will help melt
all the snow off of my tractor and trailer right so that we will be a
little bit lighter hopefully that's gonna be the case because right now I am
a little bit worried like if the scale would be open in New York tur when I
enter I might be a little bit overweight but not much I can do about it I mean
other than go underneath there and knock all the snow off but but the fairings
being on the side of the trailer like they are it'd be quite difficult to
climb underneath there and knock all the snow off right party all right I guess
we're still under a slow slower speed limit up here so there we go now it
changed over to 90 so anyways it looks like it's just kind of cloudy this
morning at least it's not snowing anymore I think they're calling for a
little bit more snow later I think that's what I was looking
on the radar but for the most part we should be okay
dispatch was already asking me when can you make it there when are you going to
be available at the other end right because we have treated four guys going
there and that's the sucky part right because you know we have three different
people going there at the same time where are you gonna find reloads for all
three of us right so it might be a little bit of a challenge that's
probably why they're asking which I don't mind you know let them know right
so I kind of did a quick calculation they're not thinking I should be there
around ten o'clock tomorrow that's kind of what I'm thinking anyways so we'll
see I told them I'd be available at noon I figured this way it gives them two
hours to to offload me and whatever so I have a little bit of a playroom right
cuz I might be stopping somewhere and maybe going in by get me a bite to eat
or making me a sandwich in here right you never know
any oh let's continue on cruise I appreciate you guys tuning in again
today I really do let's make the best of today's day and it looks like it is
clearing up here so that's awesome I like that so that's coming right along
with me today alright guys now we are here on belief 69 Canadian route 69
we're going through a little bit of a town through here look at all the snow
that they got here piled up everywhere
anyways we're just cruising right on through here oh that was a good bump
right there and which I kind of need a few more bumps like that because I'm
trying to get rid of all the snow underneath my trailer right but anyways
I just figured I would show you guys a little bit of an old part of town here I
guess of Canada they are we're gonna how are we going to
get by here yo-yo is pure later a truck parked right here on the shoulder well I
guess they don't have much room right so yeah luckily no more cars were coming so
I was able to get by him but yeah this is this is getting tight up here that's
for sure they must have had quite a light show up
here for Christmas lights or something up there it looked like but I know this
is I've been through here before this is not my first rodeo through this town but
it's been a long time since I've been through here I'm telling you guys this
kind of stupid the way they got this road right you guys would think you good
go straight but look it up to sign the signs up here it says this middle lane
is actually a turning lane so you got to get into the right lane where you know
what's right now people are parked beside me there right so it's kind of
stupid the way that you have the system set up here too I don't know I'm just
saying but whatever right but we are getting very very close to
the key back state line or province line I guess you could say so we should be in
kabak here very soon very very soon we'll be in Quebec and our everybody's I
don't know what everybody's doing in town today because they're all out for
shopping and I guess they all stay at home the last couple of days because of
all the snow snow coming to or whatever right so they probably all stay at home
and now they're all going out getting their mail and going shopping and doing
all that fun stuff right well that's only inches on either side
yikes yeah that's it stuff bunny we made it we made it that's all that matters
right yeah oh I said 69 this is actually a route 66 I mistakenly thought it was
69 but oh well anyways now we get our red light we got to come to our stop
yeah yes I just figured true you go you know I'm going through a little bit over
town again and it's always nice right we are now getting very very close to the
border because my GPS just told me that we're only five kilometres away from
getting to the border and I as I was on the other side of this little Valley
there I saw a huge hill up there toward the right so I can see it already up
there I guess we'll see that here in a minute maybe you guys should be able to
see that aerbook we'll see it looks like the road is kind of bending a little bit
to the left there so I don't know if you guys are gonna be able to see it but
look pretty neat I'm pretty we have a different kind of mountain I guess
pretty much roundish kinda looking Mountain there so looks kind of
interesting I can see it just over the top trees over there but I don't know if
the camera will actually be able to show it but we'll see but yeah we are just
about to enter into kickback ladies and gentlemen and then we will start seeing
French signs which that's going to be a bummer but
maybe you can see it over there but yeah it's kind of hard to see but anyways as
you guys can see they've been putting quite a bit of salt on over here which
that's really really nice and the road is all the snow and ice is melting right
so that's a nice sign I like that but I can see the sign our I mean my GoPro
have my GPS I get it right here in a minute

Develop a Sales process - Duration: 1:07.
Do You Have a Solid Sales Process?
Developing a solid sales process is absolutely critical to scale your business.
And most creatives don't have one. Most creatives tend to kind of you know
do deals on the bag of a fat packet. Now that's okay to a point but
when you want to scale, you need systems. And the most important system,
is a sales process. Having a structured sales process that allows you to measure
the number of inquiries, the number of leads, number of prospects,
number of conversions and conversations and the number of sales.
Helps you to understand where there might be gaps in your process
and help you to refine the process. Most creators think their business is
different and that's a really fatal mistake. A sales process is a sales process.
And just because selling can feel a little bit uncomfortable,
if you think about it this way, if you're selling something that really benefits
someone, you have a moral obligation to make sure they understand
that you can help them. That's it for today folks, talk soon

Cowboys' Jerry Jones Addresses Ezekiel Elliott & Dak Prescott's Future | Heavy.com - Duration: 6:28.
Cowboys' Jerry Jones Addresses Ezekiel Elliott & Dak Prescott's Future | Heavy.com
The Dallas Cowboys fell short of the ultimate goal during the 2018 NFL season with a divisional-round playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
But it's hard to argue that with a strong core, young and rapidly improving defense, and playmakers on both sides of the ball that they aren't trending in the right direction.
And it's quarterback-running back duo Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott who have played the biggest role in the upward-pointing arrow.
After the Cowboys were eliminated from the postseason, Jerry Jones was on 105.3 The Fan Tuesday and addressed the team's future.
Specifically, he sounded off on both Prescott and Elliott while floating his thoughts and praise for both, per USA TODAY's Jori Epstein.
First up, was the somewhat obvious question of Elliott's future and whether he'd be a Cowboy for the "foreseeable future" and the response from Jones wasn't very surprising.
Jerry Jones to @1053thefan: "Do we want Zeke in the foreseeable future on the Dallas Cowboys? The answer is yes.
It'd be madness to think any differently." — Jori Epstein (@JoriEpstein) January 15, 2019 .
The Cowboys owner proceeded to echo a similar sentiment on Prescott and heaped praise in the direction of the young signal-caller.
Jerry also wants to keep QB Dak Prescott "in the short term and in the long term.
" Does he have resources to do it all? "Hell," Jerry said, "I want a bigger boat.
" https://t.
co/pXEBuCQ3jv — Jori Epstein (@JoriEpstein) January 15, 2019 .
Ezekiel Elliott's Immediate and Long-Term Outlook.
Obviously, the Cowboys are unquestionably going to have Elliott leading the way for the immediate future.
He's heading into the fourth year of his rookie deal with a fifth-year option available for 2020.
The fact Dallas has Elliott as their starting running back with a cap hit of just north of $7.94 million next season (per Spotrac) is a steal.
But the topic of discussion becomes the plan for Elliott in terms of his next contract.
While the All-Pro is going to get a huge deal regardless, the Cowboys opted against forking over money to DeMarco Murray previously, although that was a very different situation.
Taking Le'Veon Bell's number out of the mix, the current largest running back deals in the NFL feature Todd Gurley's $14.375 million average per year and David Johnson's $13 million.
From there, it drops to Devonta Freeman at $8.25 million and LeSean McCoy at $801 million, per Over The Cap.
Even factoring in those numbers, Jones, of course, knows Elliott is among the best in the business and will receive a contract along those lines, barring something unforeseen happening.
Impressive Play of Elliott, Prescott in 2018.
There's no question both of the Cowboys' young stars have put up strong numbers throughout their careers, but 2018 was impressive for the duo.
Elliott finished the year with 1,434 rushing yards (No.
1 in the NFL), caught a team-leading 77 passes for 567 yards and scored 10 combined touchdowns during the regular season.
Prescott rebounded from somewhat of an up-and-down 2017 campaign in which he threw 13 interceptions by completing 67.7 percent of his passes with just eight interceptions in 2018.
He reeled off a career-best 3,885 yards and scored 28 combined touchdowns (22 passing, six rushing) as well.
Both players will be staples of the future for Dallas, even if it means Jones has to fork over some big money in the very near future.

Referee banned after singling out 10-year-old girl's braids - Daily News - Duration: 3:29.
A Virginia basketball referee has been banned from officiating in any future games after singling out a girl's hairstyle and wrongly saying it was against the rules.
Erica Guerrier, who coaches her daughter's team, says the official pointed to her 10-year-old girl's braids and blue weave mid game and said the style was not allowed.
Guerrier says the referee made an unnecessary spectacle of her daughter during a basketball game in Chesapeake over the weekend.
Virginia High School League Executive Director Billy Haun says the referee should not have raised his concern publicly, WAVY-TV reports.
Hampton Roads Basketball Association commissioner Rick Ennis says the incident is under investigation and the referee won't be working future games in Chesapeake.
Wavy Privacy Policy
Mom Erica said: 'Basketball is her passion - that's what she does. He asked to speak with me and he mentioned that one of the players, when she goes to the next level, she is going to have to do something about her hair.
'He had my daughter come over and he pointed to I guess the point where he natural hair meets the hair braided in and said he did not know what that was. I said that's her natural hair.
'I've been in the game about 25 years and for me I had no clue what he was talking about so it was very important for me to get some clarity.
'Just to getting to the bottom of what are you talking about? There is no such rule, so why are you bringing this up in front of this girl that her only love is just to play basketball?'

The Virginia High School League does address hair in its rules but does not mention hair weaves.
Executive Director Billy Haun said: 'If there were concerns about that young lady's hair, that's a conversation you have with a coach and with a player, and in this case as young as this player was, you have the conversation with the parent before the game starts, but not during the game.
'Somewhere private. That's not something you do on the floor, during the game, before the game or after the game.'
The referee was contracted by The City of Chesapeake through the Hampton Roads Basketball Association.
The association's commissioner, Rick Ennis, says the incident has been 'taken very seriously'.
He confirmed the referee won't be working games in Chesapeake in the future.

Washington Post: Breaking News, World, US, DC News & Analysis - Duration: 12:31.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York announced Tuesday that she will run for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020, in a campaign that is expected to lean heavily on gender issues and imagery
She told host Stephen Colbert on CBS's "Late Show" that she believes she has "the compassion, the courage and the fearless determination" necessary
"The first thing I would do is restore what's been lost: the integrity and the compassion in this country," she said
"I would bring people together to start getting things done." Gillibrand, 52, is most well known for her efforts to combat sexual assault in the military and on college campuses, to repeal the military's policy of "don't ask, don't tell" and to make it easier for Capitol Hill staffers who have been sexually harassed or assaulted to report their experiences
The senator has latched on to the burst of activism prompted by President Trump's election and his policies, a movement that's largely driven by women
She called the 2017 Women's March on Washington "truly the most inspiring moment of my entire life" and joined the protesters who challenged Brett M
Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court last fall. She also stood up to fellow Democrats as the #MeToo era dawned, criticizing then-Sen
Al Franken of Minnesota and former president Bill Clinton for their alleged inappropriate behavior toward women
Gillibrand is also a vocal critic of Trump, and she has voted against his political appointees and positions at a higher rate than most Democrats
The president responded in December 2017 by attacking her in a tweet that she called "a sexist smear
" With the announcement made, Gillibrand plans to spend time with her husband and two sons on Wednesday in Troy, N
Y., where she lives and where her campaign will be headquartered. On Friday, she will start a three-day tour of Iowa
Gillibrand emphasized her family in Tuesday's announcement. "I'm going to run for president of the United States because, as a young mom, I'm going to fight for other people's kids as hard as I would fight for my own
Which is why I believe that health care should be a right and not a privilege," she said
"It's why I believe we should have better public schools for our kids because it shouldn't matter what block you grow up on
And I believe that anybody who wants to work hard enough should be able to get whatever job training they need to earn their way into the middle class
" Since Gillibrand was appointed to the Senate in January 2009 to fill the seat left open when Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, she has undergone a rapid and dramatic political shift, abandoning many of the centrist positions she held during her time as a congresswoman from Upstate New York and becoming one of the Senate's most liberal members
Trump's campaign manager Brad Parscale has seized on this transformation, pointing to Gillibrand as an example of Democratic "political contortionism" — even as Trump, too, has shifted in nearly all of his policy positions
Gillibrand has said that she developed a passion for politics while growing up in Albany
Her maternal grandmother was an influential political organizer, and her mother worked as a lawyer, had a black belt in karate and shot the family's Thanksgiving turkey each year
Gillibrand studied at Dartmouth College and the University of California at Los Angeles School of Law, then worked as a corporate attorney in Manhattan for more than a decade
She helped represent the tobacco company Philip Morris in the 1990s amid a federal investigation — controversial work, at least among Democrats, that she has struggled to defend
In the late 1990s, Gillibrand volunteered on Clinton's first Senate campaign and distinguished herself as an aggressive fundraiser, a skill that has been key to her political career
"In my adult life, politically, no one has inspired me to get off the sidelines and truly make a difference more than Hillary Clinton has," Gillibrand wrote in a January 2016 essay endorsing Clinton for president
Clinton wrote a foreword for Gillibrand's 2014 memoir. Gillibrand first ran for office in 2006, beating a four-term Republican in a conservative congressional district that includes the Albany suburbs
In the House, Gillibrand joined the Blue Dog Democrats, a centrist group, and embraced many conservative positions
Her support of gun rights legislation earned her a 100-percent approval rating from the National Rifle Association
She opposed amnesty for undocumented immigrants and voted to cut off some federal funding to New York City until the city cracked down on illegal immigration
She opposed legalizing same-sex marriage. When Clinton resigned her Senate seat in January 2009, New York Gov
David Paterson (D) appointed Gillibrand, who was then barely known outside Upstate New York — angering many Democrats who considered Gillibrand too conservative
On the Hill, members of the New York delegation nicknamed Gillibrand "Tracy Flick" after the bubbly, blond and ambitious character played by Reese Witherspoon in the movie "Election
" Some of her policy positions rapidly changed. The night before her appointment was announced, she called a gay rights group to profess her full support for same-sex marriage
As she voted for gun-control measures, her NRA rating fell to an F. Gillibrand said in a CBS News interview last year that as she expanded her views beyond "the lens of Upstate New York," she realized that her gun rights and immigration positions were "wrong
" "I just didn't take the time to understand why these issues mattered because it wasn't right in front of me
And that was my fault," Gillibrand said in the interview. "It was something that I'm embarrassed about and I'm ashamed of
" She won a special election in 2010 with 63 percent of the vote and followed with 72 percent of the vote in 2012, when she earned her first full term, and 67 percent in November
Her last campaign came as Gillibrand navigated intraparty divisions over how to handle the #MeToo movement
In November 2017, Gillibrand said that Bill Clinton should have resigned during his presidency following his affair with a White House intern
That angered some Clinton loyalists. Former adviser Philippe Reines, who tweeted: "Over 20 yrs you took the Clintons' endorsements, money, and seat
Hypocrite. Interesting strategy for 2020 primaries. Best of luck."Three weeks later, Gillibrand called on her colleague Franken to resign following accusations of sexual misconduct from several women
She was the first prominent Democrat to do so, and many others followed, although she also faced criticism from members of her party and some major donors
"Enough is enough," Gillibrand wrote in a Facebook post. "The women who have come forward are brave and I believe them
While it's true that his behavior is not the same as the criminal conduct alleged against Roy Moore, or Harvey Weinstein, or President Trump, it is still unquestionably wrong, and should not be tolerated
"A few days later, Gillibrand called on Trump to immediately resign because he had been accused of sexual assault by more than a dozen women
Trump responded the next day in a tweet: "Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
. . someone who would come to my office 'begging' for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump
" Gillibrand said the tweet was "a sexist smear intended to silence me." One of the most prolific fundraisers in Congress, Gillibrand has raised more than $56 million during her political career, including $20 million between 2013 and 2018
But her prowess has led to criticism that she was too cozy with Wall Street. In 2013, the Daily Show's John Oliver confronted Gillibrand about campaign donations from Wall Street and said: "What I deeply want to know is: What do you have to do for that? What is required of you for that money? Because it makes me uncomfortable
" Gillibrand responded that it was her job to represent New York and its people, which includes those employed on Wall Street
She noted that she has called for more regulation of the banking industry and voted against the government bailout of banks
Nearly a year ago, Gillibrand stopped taking money from corporate political action committees, following the example of Sens
Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). During her reelection campaign last year, Gillibrand promised that she would "serve my six-year term" and not challenge Trump in 2020
Her Republican opponent replied: "Honestly, I don't believe that." Two days after she was reelected, Gillibrand said in a late-night television interview that she was considering a run
"I believe it is a moral question for me," she said. "I've seen the hatred and the division that President Trump has put out into our country, and it has called me to fight as hard as I possibly can to restore the moral compass of this country
"

The Sugar addiction is REAL and what to do about it! | Empowering You Organically #12 - Duration: 47:39.
Jonathan: Thanks everyone for listening.
We are doing another episode of Empowering You Organically.
I am joined by my co-host, TeriAnn Trevenen.
TeriAnn: Hey everyone.
Jonathan: We also have our very special guest, Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson.
Susan: Hi.
Jonathan: TeriAnn, give us a quick bio of Dr. Susan.
TeriAnn: Sure.
Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson lives in Rochester, New York, with her husband and three beautiful daughters.
She is a New York Times best-selling author for her book,
Bright Line Eating: The Science of Living Happy, Thin, and Free.
She's also the president of The Institute for Sustainable Weight Loss.
She is the founder and CEO of Bright Line Eating, which is a company with an unprecedented
track record for helping people lose all of their excess weight, and live in a right-sized body, long-term.
She has a PhD in brain and cognitive sciences, and she's been teaching at the university level for 13 years.
She has been a professor of psychology of eating and neuroscience of food addiction.
Jonathan: We coulda just said you're really smart.
And that would've covered a lot of that bit.
Susan: Okay, you want to hear something funny?
Jonathan: Do it.
Susan: I was on a Facebook Live and some guy was like, "Tell us again about how you have your PhD, please."
Susan: That was when I was realized there's a fine line between stating your bio and trying
to have some authority or whatever, and going overboard with it.
I'm really glad that you do the bios, TeriAnn, 'cause that would sound a little weird coming
out of my mouth.
Jonathan: For those of you who haven't listened to our first two episodes in season two,
make sure you listen.
We had Dr. Susan on for both of those, and we talked about some really phenomenal information.
We talked about emotional eating and stuff that happens around the holidays.
Our last episode we talked all about setting goals and Bright Line Eating, and really how
to be successful this year with your weight loss, your getting healthy goals.
Today we are gonna talk about a topic that is very important to me,
and that's sugar addiction.
I think that a lot of people really suffer from it.
Whether they suffer from it on a very minor scale, to a very major scale.
I know for me personally, one, I have a very addictive personality to begin with.
We've talked about how I smoked for 20 years, I've had challenges at times with drinking,
with other drugs, and overall just addictive personality.
One thing that I know that I'm addicted to and that's sugar.
There's no doubt about it.
I actually eat a ketogenic diet now because it really helps with that, because it minimizes
how much sugar, it minimizes all of that that I take.
'Cause otherwise I enjoy it way too much.
So, what is sugar addiction?
Talk to us about that.
What exactly is a sugar addiction?
And let's define sugars, as well.
It's something with a keto diet, and people say, "Well I don't eat carbs."
Well, why not?
Vegetables are carbs, you should be eating those, and people mistaking sugar and carbs
and all of that.
Let's start with identifying sugars.
Susan: Okay.
Sure.
I love how you use that word carb, and you know, there's eye rolling with the whole word
carbs, because it's an unhelpful word.
Jonathan, you and I have talked about this before.
I hate the word carbs, actually.
There's two words that I've identified that I have a little, "I don't like those words."
Diet and carbs.
They're unhelpful words for the same reason.
Okay, I'm gonna use a fancy term.
They obfuscate the meaningful distinctions.
They cloud the issue.
They don't help, and so as soon as you're using the word carb, you're not thinking clearly
about what matters and what doesn't matter.
'Cause the issue is not carbohydrate as a macronutrient.
The issue is really food quality, food source.
You want to be eating certain things that would be in the carbohydrate category.
You want to be eating apples, and spinach, and carrots, things like that.
And you don't want to be eating donuts, and bagels, and tons of pasta.
Susan: Using the word carb is unhelpful.
I think when most people say carb, they mean bread, or something like that.
But the real issue with bread is the flour.
It's the grinding down of the particle so that the digestive enzymes hit every surface
area of that molecule really hard, and it absorbs into your blood stream really fast,
and then it causes a big dopamine rush in your addictive centers, and so forth.
Susan: When I talk about sugar, Jonathan, what I mean is anything added to your food
to make it sweeter.
That lumps into the same category, on purpose, things as disparate as high fructose corn syrup,
table sugar, honey, molasses, stevia.
And then all of the artificial sweeteners, aspartame, sucralose, all of 'em.
The Sweet'N Low-
Jonathan: Stevia, erythritol, even [crosstalk 00:04:55], [inaudible 00:04:55], ones that
have no glycemic index response, right?
Susan: Yes.
Jonathan: Like the stevia and erythritol.
Anything that's sweet to the tongue, correct?
Susan: Yes.
Exactly.
Other than whole, fresh, real fruit.
Whole, fresh, real fruit.
It's gotta be fresh, and it's gotta be whole, is fine.
But fruit juice is not.
And dried fruit is not.
You gotta draw the line somewhere, and that's where the line goes.
Susan: Now that reason that stevia and stuff like that, things that don't have a blood
sugar response, are out is that one of the major pathways for sugar addiction is actually
from the sweet taste buds themselves, straight up to the addictive centers of the brain.
So you don't want to be adding anything to your food to make it sweeter.
Susan: That's it.
So when you say, "What's sugar addiction?"
Should we go there?
Like what is it?
Jonathan: Absolutely.
Susan: I'm kinda laughing in my head, it's like, sugar addiction is sugar addiction.
It's like you asked, "What's cocaine addiction?"
Well, it's addiction to cocaine.
Susan: Sugar addiction in the brain is the same as any other addiction.
It's essentially dopamine down regulation in the addictive centers, mainly the nucleus accumbens.
So the addictive centers are these areas in the brain, you get the ventral tegmental area
and the nucleus accumbens.
It's a deep, primal, primitive area of the brain.
If you think of your head as a cue ball, or whatever, it's almost right in the middle.
If you carry your neck up, your spine up, then you get to the brain stem, and then just
a little bit above that, like an inch or two right above that.
Right in the core of your brain.
We're talking super old, super primitive areas, and their job is to give you enough oomph
to get up and get what you need to get to survive.
Susan: It's like yeah, sex, food, we gotta get us some of that.
Otherwise we're just not living long enough to stick around around here, and let alone
have children, and pass on our genes.
Susan: So, there are certain things that are so necessary that it is incredibly required
that our brain makes sure that we identify the availability, when it's around,
and we feel motivated to go get it.
Sugar addiction is like pornography addiction, in the sense that it's become really
widespread, because we have substances in our environment that were manufactured to
really hijack those brain centers.
Like donuts?
There's no such thing out in the savanna.
There is no such stimulus.
It's like a loop of pornography.
There's so access to any kinda of stimuli that's that intense out in natural conditions.
They were manufactured in order to be pleasurable to a certain degree, and what it does is it
floods those centers of the brain, the nucleus accumbens especially, with excess dopamine.
The dopamine centers respond by down regulating, thinning out, and then you're fine because
your brain's now responding more normally, 'cause there's fewer receptors and they're
not responding as well if you keep eating donuts.
Now everything's leveled out.
But if you stop eating donuts, you got a problem.
Now you have not enough dopamine on board, and you're addicted.
You gotta go get another hit to feel normal.
Susan: That's essentially what sugar addiction is.
On a brain scan it looks the same as cocaine addiction, alcohol addiction.
It actually looks a little worse, to be honest.
TeriAnn: What does it look like coming off of the sugar, just like other things that
you're addicted to in the brain?
Susan: If you look at a PET scan, or an fMRI, and you look at those areas of the brain,
the way those scans look is they usually use a color scale from blue to green to yellow
to orange to red, where the centers light up orange and red when they're really on fire.
A normal brain to normal stimuli will have some orange and red in the nucleus accumbens.
A drug-addicted brain or a sugar-addicted brain won't.
Those dopamine receptors have been blown out.
Susan: So, you just don't see much response there.
That's what they look like.
They look bleak.
Jonathan: We've identified sugars, and we talk about sugar addiction.
'Cause I personally feel like breads fit inside of that, for me, as I'm coming down off of
my sugar high, I can eat a handful of rolls with butter on 'em and get that same-
Susan: Totally.
That'll do.
Yup, totally.
That's a really important point, 'cause I've experienced this from 25 years now, essentially,
of being in the weight loss, food addiction, space.
People who don't give up flour don't succeed.
You can give up sugar, but you gotta give up flour, too.
If you don't think you have a problem with breads, and pastas, and those types of foods,
wait 'til you give up sugar, and you'll develop one, because the brain will take it as a substitute for sure.
TeriAnn: Share what you shared in the first podcast we did about why on, like different flours.
You even said coconut and almond.
Why do you say no to it?
I could say it, but I'll let you say it.
Susan: All flour, yeah.
It's not an issue of is it whole grain or not.
I know that whole grain flour is healthier.
It's got more nutrients, more fiber, than white flour.
But that's not the issue.
The issue is the grinding down.
I'll actually share something that I didn't share in the first podcast, brand new.
Susan: It's a concept from Dr. Alan Christianson, who's a good friend of mine.
He said the way he describes this to his patients is, the difference between a whole food like
rice, for example, and a flour like rice flour, from a metabolic standpoint, is the difference
between on a hot summer day in Arizona, taking a big brick of ice, like a one foot square brick.
Big brick of ice, and putting it out on the blacktop, on the driveway, to melt.
It'll melt.
It'll take a few hours, though.
Versus taking snow cone shavings, little shavings of ice, and sprinkling them on the blacktop.
Well, they melt on contact.
That's what flour is, is sprinkling snow cone shavings into the digestive system,
and it just absorbs like that, and you get the full force of the glucose, the fructose, whatever's
in that, hits the digestive system all at once.
It's not an issue of gluten or any particular substance.
It doesn't matter if it's coconut flour, almond flour, whole grain flour, gluten-free flour,
rice flour, potato flour-
Jonathan: Even almond flour, even though it-
Susan: Even almond flour, yes.
It's a matter of surface area and digestive impact.
It's the processing of it that matters.
Almonds are fine.
Rice is fine.
It's like, okay, so here's the best way of thinking about it.
What is a drug?
Jonathan, we've danced around the issue.
I have a drug addiction background.
You've mentioned, [inaudible 00:12:06], alcohol, drugs, whatever in your past.
What is cocaine, Jonathan?
Pop quiz.
Jonathan: What is cocaine?
Well, I mean it-
Susan: It comes from where?
Jonathan: It comes from the cocaína plant.
Susan: The coca.
Yeah.
Jonathan: Coca plant.
Susan: The coca leaf.
Jonathan: I lived in Panama, so we call it cocaína down there.
Susan: Oh, so you're in the natural language.
You're like three steps ahead of me, okay.
Susan: Have you seen it?
What does it look like?
I've never seen it live.
Is it like a bush or a shrub or?
Jonathan: I haven't seen it grown.
I did not go down into Colombia.
I was going to.
But yeah, it looks like a regular plant.
It's a simple, it's the leaf that they grind down and they dehydrate, turn it into a powder.
By the time we get it, it's been cut with all kinds of other stuff, because pure cocaine ...
Susan: There's a scientific journal article that's been published that showed that chewing
coca leaves is not addictive.
They put 'em in their cheek there, the hikers in the Andes Mountains.
It's not addictive, apparently.
It'll make your cheek a little, tiny bit numb, and I think it gives you a-
Jonathan: Definitely gives you energy.
Susan: Gives you a little bit of a lift, maybe like the equivalent of drinking half a cup
of caffeinated tea, or something.
Nobody's breaking into their grandmother's house to steal a VCR to get more coca leaves.
It's not addictive.
You take the inner-
Jonathan: VCR.
I like that you said VCR, right?
Did that just show our age when you said VCR?
Susan: I am so dating myself.
I know.
I know how old you are, too, I was just looking on your wall, your little thing that had your,
I won't say your birthday, but I saw it over there.
Jonathan: No worries.
I just turned 40.
I have no problem sharing.
Susan: Nice.
I'm 44, so I'm your elder.
Please act accordingly.
Jonathan: I will.
Susan: Lots of respect.
Jonathan: Don't steal my VCR.
Just saying.
Susan: Back to the point.
Drugs come from plants that have been modified in a certain way.
Cocaine comes from taking those coca leaves, which are not addictive, taking the inner
essence, and then refining and purifying it into a fine powder.
Susan: Heroin comes from poppies.
You can eat poppies, sit in a field of poppies and eat them all day long, and not get high,
and not get addicted.
You get the substance into your blood stream.
You will fail a urine test for opium.
You will fail a drug test if you have eaten a bunch of poppies recently.
But you didn't get high off it, and you didn't get addicted.
But if you take the inner essence of those poppies, and you refine and purify that
into a fine, brown powder, you get heroin.
So what we're doing in our food supply these days is we're taking these plants, we're taking
wheat, we're taking beets, we're taking corn, all wholesome, real foods.
And we're taking the inner essence, and then refining and purifying it down into fine,
white powders, and we're taking foods and turning them into drugs.
Research shows, according to some estimates, that sugar is eight times as addictive as cocaine.
Eight times.
You want to know the study that that one comes from?
Jonathan: Go for it.
Susan: Eight times.
Just in case you want to know how screwed you are.
Jonathan: Thank you.
Appreciate that.
TeriAnn: That's promising.
Susan: Said from one sugar addict to another.
I'm not putting you in any cage that I'm not in myself.
Susan: This study was done with rodents, and they took rats, and they injected them with
intravenous cocaine over, and over, and over again 'til they were quivering cocaine addicts.
Then they didn't give them a hit for a few hours, so they wanted one.
And then they gave them a choice between another hit of cocaine, which they were already addicted to,
and some sugar, which they'd never had exposure to before.
Cocaine or sugar.
And they chose the sugar.
Susan: Not only did they choose the sugar, but when they redid the experiment with saccharine,
Sweet'N Low, the pink packets, they preferred that, too.
Jonathan: Wow.
Susan: Over cocaine that they were already addicted to.
Already physiologically needed in their system.
Based on the strength of that response and some other things, based on how much shock
organisms will withstand to get another hit.
Like literally they put the little trough, the dispenser, over an electrocuted grid,
and you turn up the voltage to see how much shock will they withstand to get a hit.
You can measure addictiveness that way, too.
Yeah.
Sugar is like, to put it in the category of cocaine and heroin, it not only appropriate,
it's scientifically true.
It just is.
Sugar is right up there in terms of drug strength with heroin and cocaine and way beyond cigarettes,
by the way, Mr. Former Smoker.
Way beyond cigarettes.
Way.
Jonathan: We put sugar in everything now.
I mean, the fat-free movement that came in the [crosstalk 00:16:55] late '70s,
early '80s, and we've replaced all of the fats with sugars.
I think there's a lot of people addicted to sugar that don't even realize or don't even
identify that they're addicted to sugar.
Susan: But invite them to quit, and they'll see.
Jonathan: That's my exact point.
Susan: It's like, whoa!
TeriAnn: Well, and it's hard to-
Jonathan: How many kids are addicted to sugar?
'Cause sugar is in everything.
TeriAnn: It's hard.
You read labels now and people think they're not getting sugar in certain foods, but they are.
But they don't know.
They don't even know.
Susan: But they are.
80% of the calories in the modern day supermarket are laced with added sugar.
80%.
TeriAnn: I have a question for you.
Earlier you talked about, not in this episode but in the first episode we did with you,
about stevia, erythritol, things like that.
That's still a no-no, even though it's natural, not considered, "Sugar," by a lot of people.
Why is that a no?
Can you talk about that a little bit?
Susan: Because it's the extra sweet taste on the taste buds that connects directly to
the addictive centers of the brain that releases that dopamine hit.
If you want your brain to heal, you gotta stop putting the sweet taste on your tongue.
Jonathan: You know, when I was quitting smoking I had a lot of people say,
"Well, why don't you smoke an e-cig?"
Or, "Why don't you smoke a joint?
Or do something like that?"
Just the motion of inhaling something would've triggered me.
I don't know that it's the same, but I can relate it to that, that I can't do anything
that's even remotely similar to, other than inhaling oxygen.
But anything that felt like taking a hit of something would've instantly made me want
to smoke again.
Susan: Now we're gonna maybe wander off into some pretty deep research, but here's what
makes me and you, Jonathan, different from TeriAnn.
We're addictive, addictable, heavily.
TeriAnn, are you addicted to anything, or you run on moderation naturally?
TeriAnn: Oh no, I have some things in my life.
Susan: You have some things.
TeriAnn: But I-
Jonathan: Work.
She's addicted to work, there's no doubt.
TeriAnn: Work.
For sure.
TeriAnn: Yeah, there's definitely things.
I don't like to necessarily control other people.
But I like a lot of control over my life.
I would probably, to the point that it's an addiction of control in my life.
Things just so.
Things a certain way.
I could care less if your house looks just so.
And it's not so much about keeping up with people, it's a feeling for me.
Jonathan: Little bit of OCD.
TeriAnn: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Everything being just so for me.
I don't care for you, I don't care for him, I don't care what Travis' house looks like,
or Alan's house looks like, but I care what mine looks like.
Susan: Is it a problem?
Do you do it to the point where you're hurting yourself?
TeriAnn: No.
No.
There's been points in my life where yes, it did.
It was like, I would do things just so that it was, you know, this way.
Susan: 'Cause this is a separate topic now, but the whole thing of everyone's addicted
to something, or every excess is an addiction.
I take issue with that.
I have been really addicted to things, like sitting in a crack house for days upon days,
smoking.
Susan: I feel like unless you're harming yourself, knowing that you shouldn't be, wishing you
were doing it differently, with tears streaming down your face saying,
"Why am I doing this to myself?"
That's addiction.
I'm doing it and I can't stop.
TeriAnn: Oh, for sure.
There were points in my life, especially when hard things were going on, that the control
was so strong that it was like, "Why do I have to do this all the time?"
Susan: Yeah.
That's it.
Yeah.
TeriAnn: But it's interesting when you talked in a previous episode about getting to a point
where it's a lifestyle, and you get control over things like that, and you realize it
doesn't have to be this way, and you get past that.
TeriAnn: It was definitely something that happened previously when there was a lot of
stress in my life, but gaining control over that again.
I'm definitely-
Susan: Control over the control?
TeriAnn: When you talk about your quiz, I'm not a 10 on the quiz, but I've certainly had
things in my life where I could fall back into that super easy if my life got stressful again.
And now it's a control thing for me, like everything being just so, and feeling like
I'm stressed, and my life feels stressful, and my emotions feel chaotic if everything's
not just so.
It can be crippling for me.
Susan: Totally.
I get it.
Susan: So Jonathan and I are super addictable.
You're either low or moderate.
TeriAnn: Yup.
For sure.
Susan: What's different about how our brains work?
What makes someone addictable?
Jonathan: They like to party?
Oh no, sorry, I didn't know that was a rhetorical question.
Susan: Well, yeah.
TeriAnn: Party with donuts if you're talking about sugar.
Susan: We woulda had fun, back in the day.
Just sayin'.
Just sayin'.
Back in the day.
Jonathan: This is 15 years ago for me, too, so yes I'm with ya.
Susan: What makes our brains different turns out to be this interesting thing.
Researchers back in the day were doing basic behavioral experiments with rats in Skinner boxes.
Basically the rat presses the lever, they get food.
There are like a million variants of this experiment.
Susan: They tried this experiment where a lever came down into the cage, like it just
came down in there, and then three seconds later food came out into a dish.
The rats picked this up super fast.
Lever comes down, food's coming out.
They're quick on that one.
Easy.
Susan: What researchers didn't expect is that when the lever came down some rats ran right
over to the food dish area, which made sense, they just sit there for the three seconds,
wait for the food to come out.
But some rats ran over to the lever, and nuzzled it, rubbed up against it, like they loved the lever.
Susan: And researchers were like, "Why are they lovin' on the lever?
It's the cue that the food is coming.
But don't they just want the food?
Why are they loving the lever for its own sake?"
So they started doing some variants where they would only let the food come out
for a hot second, and then they'd suck it back up, and some of the rats would love the
lever so much they'd actually miss the food.
They'd miss the whole point because they were so into the lever.
It turns out that addictable rats are the ones who love the lever.
And the non-addictable rats are the ones who run right over to the food and go,
"Oh, there's the cue that the food is there. I'm gonna go get the food."
They're the sensible ones, they're like,
"Yup. Waitin' for the food."
The addictive ones are the ones who are lovin' the lever.
So what?
The lever is the cue that the reward is coming.
The rats were pulled toward that cue, almost to their own detriment, to the point where
they would even miss their sustenance to be pulled toward that cue.
Now think about what it means in this society, to be pulled toward the cues that
predict food rewards.
Let's say sugar rewards.
If you're pulled strongly, maybe even unconsciously, toward golden arches when you see them in
the corner of your eye, like all of a sudden your car is driving that way.
If you're walking down the hall of your school, 'cause you're a teacher, and
you catch a little glimpse of a Dunkin Donuts box, that pink box, through the window of
the teachers' lounge, and suddenly you're pulled in that direction, and your friends
are talking, and you're like, "Oh," and now you have a donut in your hand.
You don't even know how it happened.
If it's Friday night, and you're pulled toward the bar where the wings, and the beer,
and the nachos are happening because it's a certain time of day.
If you're driving to work, and you're pulled toward the Starbucks, and suddenly
you've got a latte and a muffin in your hands.
You can picture it, right?
Our society is one long stretch of food cues.
Time of day, smell, sights, TV commercials, on, and on, and on.
If those cues themselves pull you with a force that's magnetic, imagine the job of getting
over sugar addiction, of losing weight.
When it's not just that you gotta eat fewer calories.
It's like, well you've gotta break all of those association.
It's a massive job.
So when you talked, Jonathan, about being really cognizant when you quit smoking of,
"I'm not hanging out with people who smoke.
And I'm not gonna put myself at a party on a Friday night.
I'm gonna stay home."
You were aware of all the different cues that might undo you because they pull you harder
than they pull other people.
Those cues.
That's a little bit about what it is to be addictable.
You're pulled toward the cues to a degree that other people are not.
Jonathan: Absolutely ... Yeah.
And I agree with you.
It still goes back, it's amazing as others that listen to this take that journey to break
that sugar addiction, of the challenge that they have ahead of them.
It's eight times more addictive than cocaine.
You talk about, I mean, we, I think about, you know, the holidays, and I think
about having a cheat day on Christmas, just calling it a cheat day, and having sugar and
candy with my daughters, and having that whole "fun day."
Then the next day there being some of those treats left over but yet I want to go back
to eating a ketogenic-style way of eating, which is what I prefer.
But all I see is an M&M bag over here, you know, a little chocolate thing there.
Some little thing there.
That's what I see, and it's like you know, you almost want to, you just gotta throw it
all out, or do something.
Susan: Did you eat them the day after?
Jonathan: No.
No.
Susan: And how did you not?
Jonathan: Well, that's willpower.
But if they were there every day, it would be different.
I don't keep a lot of that stuff in the house, but I do still keep things.
What I don't keep is my weaknesses in the house as much.
Susan: I think of ourselves as we embark on this breaking the sugar addiction journey
as having parts, and one of the parts is definitely the saboteur who whispers,
"Just a little. Time for a cheat day.
You deserve it.
It's been a long week.
It's your daughter's birthday."
Whatever the whispers are.
The first thing that the saboteur is gonna whisper is, "You can't do that forever.
That's unrealistic.
There's no way.
What about this event?
What about this occasion?"
It's basically like, it's the most rudimentary move of the saboteur.
It's the first move.
And so many of us fall for it.
And we forget that life doesn't show up as forevers.
Life always shows up as today.
There is no such thing as all those days in the future.
When we get there it will be today.
Susan: So, all you need is a plan for handling today.
You don't need a plan for handling all of the infinities into the future.
You will do just fine if all you have is a plan for today.
The one day at a time thing, as trite as it sounds, and the saboteur will say,
"Oh that's some slogan.
One day at a time.
What does that mean?
Come on.
You're never gonna not have any cookies ever."
It just goes right back into future tripping.
But actually, the truth is, you can have the cookie tomorrow, Jonathan.
You can have the gum in the future, and you can eat whatever you want at your daughter's wedding.
You just can't eat sugar today.
Jonathan: Right.
Susan: You give me today, I'll give you all those future days.
How's that for a trade?
Jonathan: It's true.
Listen, I get it from an intellectual side as well, 'cause smoking, there's no way in
the world right now that I would have a cigarette next week because it's been a couple months
since I've had a cigarette.
I mean, it's been over four-and-a-half years, so it's just saying goodbye.
That's the thing with addiction, whether it's cigarettes, or sugar, or coke, or heroin,
or something like that.
That's a friend.
That's something that's been there with you that we usually turn to at bad times,
but we also turn to, to, to good times.
It's the same thing with sugar.
Susan: Oh, and we celebrate with food brilliantly, right?
Big time.
Jonathan: That's the thing I think a lot of people don't grasp if they haven't been addicted
to smoking, and I don't think a lot of people that are addicted to sugar, which I think
a lot are, have not identified the fact that you're saying goodbye to a friend.
That's what you need to do, is say goodbye to that friend.
Susan: There are layers to that grief, too.
It's really important to honor that.
For a lot of us, food has been almost like a lover.
Jonathan: For sure.
Susan: I was an only child, raised in San Francisco by hippie parents who, you know,
you would love this story Jonathan.
My parents were, they met in a hippie commune, and they were on acid, and they bought a motorcycle,
and started traveling around the world.
And I was conceived somewhere in Costa Rica, and they kept goin'.
So, my mom was getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger.
They got down to Argentina, southern tip of Argentina, the hocked the bike for plane fare
back to the states.
Anyway, I was born in San Francisco, only child, and my parents got divorced,
and then my mom settled just a few blocks away from Castro Street, so very gay neighborhood,
1970s, 1980s.
There were no kids in our neighborhood, 'cause it was before a time when gay couples could
adopt kids, so I was the only kid in my neighborhood that I knew of.
There was a sadness in the neighborhood, 'cause my neighbors were dying of AIDS.
They were dropping like flies ... And I went to a school way across town on scholarship,
but since I was a white kid, no one knew I was on scholarship.
But I didn't really fit in.
They were rich, and two parents in the house, and very Leave It To Beaver-y.
And my parents worked hard.
My dad was a cab driver.
My mom ran this little shop in Fisherman's Wharf and worked long hours.
I was a latchkey kid.
I was home alone after school every day.
So I was by myself, in a neighborhood with no kids, on streets that weren't safe to be out on,
so I was just in the flat in San Francisco, and I turned to food.
Food was my companion, it was my friend, it was the activity, it was what I was doing
was making food.
I coulda made you Thanksgiving dinner when I was 10 years old.
With all the trimmings, every dish arriving to the table at the right time.
I could bake pies, I could bake cookies, I could bake everything.
Food was what got me through my childhood.
When people say, "It's hard to think about life without certain foods," for some of us,
foods are so woven into our identity.
I know there's people listening to this podcast that are like, "But you don't understand. I bake."
Or, "I'm the person who brings the dishes to the potluck.
It's like my most"-
Jonathan: It's their identity.
It's who they are.
Susan: Yeah.
Exactly, exactly.
So there is a grieving process of letting go of using food.
I go over to some people's houses and they've got cookbooks lining, like floor-to-ceiling
cookbooks.
It's food porn.
But I also don't want to paint it as just a bad thing.
For some people it's their creative outlet.
Susan: So, there are layers to that grief and that letting go.
I don't bake anymore.
I don't.
I've learned to be creative in other ways.
But just in the same way that you had to make certain changes when you became a non-smoker,
I had to make certain changes when I became a thin woman.
I orient toward food differently.
I've just changed.
Jonathan: We'll replace it with other things, right?
You replace it with stuff that's healthier, that's better.
The smoking got replaced with other things, or whatever it is.
Susan: Totally.
Totally.
Susan: I have a question for you Jonathan.
Jonathan: Yes.
Susan: Have you been intrigued by Bright Line Eating?
Have you thought about trying it?
What have you been thinking?
Jonathan: Absolutely.
Since we've been doing more podcasts and getting to know you more, I'm absolutely intrigued.
I want to dive deeper.
We had you on the show.
There's a lot of things we do selfishly.
We started Organixx, a supplement company, so that we would have the best supplements,
'cause I wanted to take 'em, and I wanted my family to take 'em.
We wanted the best supplements that were out there, and so that's why we started a supplement company.
It's why we're doing a podcast, and why we're having experts like you on,
is because we want the best information from the best experts, when it comes to things.
So it's something I was so excited about having you here for the new year, and to talk about
sugar addiction, and to talk about eating, and talk about our relationships to food,
and all of that, for selfish reasons.
Knowing that if I did that, just like our supplements, I would help hundreds of thousands
of other people.
So, yes.
Susan: What do you think Bright Line Eating might bring into your world or give you that
you don't have now?
Jonathan: More structure around the eating.
Yeah, more structure.
Susan: Totally.
That's a way that Bright Line Eating helps a lot of people.
There's so much confusion out there about what to eat and when.
You're busy.
You're a high functioning, get-it-done dude, right?
Jonathan: Right.
Susan: You got a lot going on, and to have the food nailed down, like done, handled.
That feeling of days are ticking by, and you're like, "Food? Check."
Like, ain't no thang.
And to have that bar set so that you know where you are with respect to it.
Not to say that every day you hit the bar, but the bar is set really clearly, and if
you slide off track, you know exactly how you can look back and figure out why, and
you know exactly the tweaks to make to get it back.
Where there's that level of precision and clarity.
You probably have that precision and clarity in other areas of your life, right?
Jonathan: Sure.
Susan: Where you know exactly what you're trying to hit.
Jonathan: Take out the guesswork, too, right?
Susan: Zero guesswork.
Jonathan: I look in my closet, every shirt in my closet is back.
I don't have to think about what I'm wearing today, it's gonna be a black shirt.
I know that.
Black shirt and either khaki shorts or jeans.
I'm being dead serious.
That's what I have in my closet.
Susan: It's the Barack Obama gettin' dressed approach.
Jonathan: It's these decisions that you don't want to have to make every time.
Why don't I just have something that's done and set.
Susan: Yup.
Bright Line Eating is that for food.
Absolutely.
We were talking at the break here, just before the podcast happened we were just
chillin' out, and I was in your kitchen, and you're like, "Oh, you're weighing your food,
and da-da-da."
And I was telling you like, "I like to weigh 112 pounds.
If I'm not 112 pounds, I like to make a tweak, and get right back there."
There is something so special for a woman like me who just struggled with her
weight her whole life.
There are no words for how much I've struggled with my weight.
There are no words.
And to be able to just dial it in like that.
Food, weight, handled.
Not a problem.
And then with it of course comes the self confidence, and the mental clarity, and the
lift in the mood that comes from eating the way we eat when we're eating well.
There's a million and one reasons to do it, you know.
And then the ability to do it, 'cause Bright Line Eating provides the automaticity that
makes it feel really free, and easy, and automatic, and handled.
Jonathan: With that said, I know we're getting close to the end.
I've gotta ask this question, 'cause again, I'm selfish and it's relevant to me, 'cause
I have a two-year-old and four-year-old daughter who love the organic lollipops in the pantry
right now.
Jonathan: How are you with your three daughters when it comes to sugar, and bread, and eating?
Susan: I feel like Bright Line Eating is not for all the people who need it.
It's for people who want it, and are willing to work it.
And that means grown ups who are making their own choices.
It is not something for parents to force down their kids' throats.
There's a problem with forcing our kids to eat a certain kind of way if we're living
in this society.
So, you wanna take your kids to some rural mountain commune in Oregon where all
they got is tofu and kale around, and that's all they're going to be exposed to, then great.
Feed your kids tofu and kale for the rest of their lives.
But if you're gonna live here in this society, you cannot turn food into the forbidden fruit,
because you will turn your kids into sneak eaters who hate you, and are craving
every calorie outside the house, 'cause the food mommy and daddy-
TeriAnn: And go to the neighbor's house and raid the pantry.
Susan: Exactly.
So we as parents are in a very painful, almost unwinnable situation, where the reality is
our kids are gonna get exposed to foods at birthday parties, at school, at Girl Scouts,
Boy Scouts, whatever.
Just fill in the blank, occasion, party, religious observance, grandmother's house, whatever.
Susan: The no sugar, no flour rules are not for parents to impose on their kids.
But there are some rules that are really helpful.
The rules are the division of responsibility.
I didn't come up with it.
This is Ellyn Satter's work.
E-L-L-Y-N, S-A-T-T-E-R.
Interestingly, if you go to her website, buy her books, just fair warning, she doesn't
believe in sugar addiction, and she doesn't believe in food addiction at all.
I've talked with the woman, and just sayin', she's obese.
I don't agree with everything she says about adult eating, by any stretch.
But she has a method for feeding kids that I think is genius, and it has worked so far
for me with my own kids, and it solves all my nightmares when it comes to feeding kids.
Not all of 'em.
But you know, it really is the linchpin.
So here are the rules.
The division of responsibility.
Are you ready?
Susan: As parents, we are responsible for when meals happen and what gets served.
We are responsible for providing food.
And then we become deaf, dumb, and blind, and we let our kids be responsible for whether
and how much to eat from what's provided.
So we do the providing and they do the eating, and we hands off.
So that means never commenting on, "Aren't you gonna eat your vegetables?
Take one bite of everything.
You have to finish your food.
Finish everything on your plate."
None of that.
You provided the meal, they get to eat from what's on the table.
If that means there was a pot of white rice, and there's some butter over there, and they're
eating nothing but white rice and butter for the meal, fine.
Their choice.
They get to choose, okay?
As a parent, your job is to provide meal structure, which is really important
for developing brains and bodies.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and kids need snacks, too.
Parents don't, but kids need a mid-morning snack, and a mid-afternoon snack.
You don't short order cook, which means you got more than one kid and you're serving whatever.
You're not making a grilled cheese sandwich for Sarah 'cause that's all she'll eat.
No, no, no.
You provide foods that are foods you feel comfortable serving from lots of different categories.
We're talking 1950s, Leave It To Beaver meals.
There's some vegetable on the table, there's some bread and butter on the table-
Jonathan: Some starch on the table, maybe some fruit, sure.
Susan: Exactly.
Just think like, food from every category, and then your job's over.
Susan: Now if you're doing Bright Line Eating, it's gonna be a lot easier, 'cause you're
eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and you're feeding yourself meals with foods from every
category, and all you gotta do is throw a big pot of starch on there, and put out from
bread and butter, and it's a meal.
It's a lot easier if you're doing Bright Line Eating.
Parents often fall down because they're not eating meals themselves, so how are they
gonna feed kids meals?
They're grazing, catches, catch, canning their food all day long from drive-thrus and vending
machines, and they don't even know where their food's coming, right?
The first rule of thumb is your kids will grow up to eat like you eat.
So make sure you're feeding yourself well.
That's how I feed my kids.
Jonathan: Love that.
I think that's a great way to end the episode, by the way.
I love that idea, that I need to provide the food, and I can provide healthy food,
but then it's on them.
They'll develop their own way of eating, and I need to lead by example.
I struggle right now, especially with two and a four-year-old.
My two-year-old, she eats everything, so I'm not worried about her.
But my four-year-old, it's like, "You gotta eat this.
Well, at least eat this."
It's not enjoyable.
I think that an emotional state matters when you eat, as well.
Susan: Totally.
You don't want to turn mealtimes into a battle, or an emotional battleground.
You don't.
Jonathan: Exactly.
Jonathan: Dr. Susan, this was wonderful.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Brightlineeating.com is your website.
I know you've referenced some other things.
You can always go to empoweringyouorganically.com.
We will have the transcripts, we will have the show notes, we'll have links to the book,
and to every other thing that you've mentioned on here.
We'll have links to studies, we'll have links to your website.
Is there anything else that you want to share before we close off here?
Susan: Yeah, one last thing, 'cause this podcast is on sugar addiction.
I just wanna presence, and I just mentioned the name of someone who doesn't believe in
food addiction, or sugar addiction.
I want to just presence from a scientific perspective where that debate comes from,
because it still is quote, unquote, debatable in science, whether food addiction, or sugar addiction, exists.
I just want to clear that up in people's minds.
Sugar addiction is real, and it's not debatable.
The reason that people bicker about it is because we've got a bunch of people who are
trained professionally in the treatment for bulimia and anorexia, for eating disorders,
to believe that there's no bad foods.
That you gotta get over food rules, and food exclusions, and that the treatment, the way
to health for someone who's been anorexic or bulimic is to learn to eat all things, again.
Susan: There is not anyone who is a researcher or scientist in the field of addiction who
does not believe that sugar addiction is real.
You take anybody who studies the brain from an addiction standpoint and ask them,
"Is there such a thing as sugar addiction?"
And they will look you in the eye, and they will say, "Yes there is.
And I can point to it on a brain scan.
It's right there."
That's where the controversy exists, is you've got psychologists who really are
clinicians who treat eating disorders, whose skin crawls a little at the thought that we're
gonna try to tell people not to eat sugar, 'cause they want their bulimics and anorexics
to stop thinking that certain foods are bad.
But the reality is that certain foods are problematic for some brains.
They really are.
They're like heroin, they're like cocaine, they're addictive, and for some people and
an approach of abstinence is gonna be more helpful than any other approach.
Susan: I also really believe that different strokes for different folks.
I don't think Bright Line Eating is the solution for everybody.
I don't think Bright Line's for sugar, or abstinence for sugar, is right for everybody.
I'm not looking to get sugar out of our food supply altogether, but I do think that we
need to empower people to notice if they're feeling like they're addicted to sugar, it
might be that not eating cookies is easier than trying to moderate and eat one cookie,
'cause the one cookie experiment never goes well for me, or for lots of other people.
So I just wanted to clear that up, because a lot of people don't realize that
that's where that so-called controversy comes from.
It's not controversial.
Jonathan: I'm glad you did.
I'm not involved in that conversation much.
I didn't even know to ask that question.
So I appreciate you clearing that up, and I think that if most people look in the mirror
and ask themselves honestly, you know, if they're, have addictive personality,
are they addicted to sugar?
They likely are.
They can look at them like myself, and it's the same thing around,
"I'll just have a few cigarettes as I quit down," or, "I'll just have a few cookies."
Jonathan: It's not gonna happen.
Susan: You can always try giving it up and notice yourself come down with flu-like symptoms, & shakes.
Jonathan: See what happens.
Susan: Yeah, see what happens.
Jonathan: See what happens.
Give it up and see what happens.
Jonathan: Listen, as with everything that we do on this podcast, it's just to deliver
you the information.
You're an adult.
Make up your own mind.
It's not on me to tell you what to do.
It's not on Susan or TeriAnn to tell you what to do.
It's our job to deliver you the information the best way that we can, and then you have
your own come to Jesus moment, and decide for yourself.
Is that an issue for you?
Is it not an issue for you?
What stuff do you want to accept that we talk about?
What stuff don't you want to?
You're an adult.
So, do that.
And I do encourage you though to do the research.
Go to brightlineeating.com.
Try it for a little while.
Do your own research and don't just make assumptions without trying it and being educated around it.
Jonathan: With all that said, I'm off my soapbox.
Thank you guys both for being here.
TeriAnn, thank you.
Susan, thank you.
And go to empoweringyouorganically.com for everything podcast-related.
Thanks again.
TeriAnn: Thanks everyone.
