Your metabolism controls every stage of your life, from childhood to old age. It controls your weight, mental and physical performance, rate of aging, and much more. You can reprogram your metabolism by getting to the Zone. The Zone is not some mystical place but a defined state of peak metabolic efficiency.

Dr. Sears, today we are going to jump into the science behind Zone Foods
0:04
So without further ado, I'm going to give you the floor to really talk to us about what the goal is behind using Zone Foods
0:10
Well, the goal is pretty simple to basically live longer. Who doesn't want to live longer
0:16
So good starting point. But in the process, you will also lose excess body fat at the maximum rate
0:23
And you'll have clear thinking and basically have better mental and physical performance
0:30
So these are all those side effects by using zone foods. Good side effects
0:34
Now, how do you get those side effects? Those good side effects
0:38
Because you're activating the master regulator of metabolism in each of your 30 trillion cells
0:45
It's called AMPK. And if you can keep A&PK in a zone, not too high, but not too low, then all those things are a consequence
0:55
Because what you're doing is now reprogramming your metabolism. And it's metabolism that keeps us alive
1:02
It's metabolism that keeps us healthy. It's metabolism that basically makes our life easier to navigate
1:08
Now, what makes these own foods different? Well, first of all, why don't just follow those own diet
1:15
But life gets in the way. You've had your own experience doing studies at Harvard, diet studies
1:21
People are very compliant for the first couple of weeks. And then life gets in the way
1:26
And then you say you beg pay say please come in and just come in for a weighing So we had to say this is not going to change And people say well diet doesn work Say yes it does but you have to make it easy for the patient to comply
1:43
So we are using two different technologies to make these zone foods
1:48
Cut that Gordian knot, saying it's hard to do it. The first technology is called molecular baking
1:55
It's a patent technology that allows us to basically change. change the location in the gut that basically where proteins absorb
2:04
Now, you need protein at every meal. How much? About 30 grams. But no more, but no less
2:11
So that's why all those own foods come in basically convenient packages of 15 grams each
2:16
You can mix and match. So you get 30 grams. But now, with the molecular baking, the products such as primarily the pasta
2:26
and also the granola that's coming on, are basically absorbed in a different location in the gut
2:34
And by doing so, you send more powerful signals, the same signals sent by Wagovi to the brain saying
2:41
stop eating. A second technology we have is now you have to balance the protein with carbohydrates
2:49
but you want the lowest possible glycemic index. So the higher the glycemic index
2:56
the glycemic index, the less effect or the more inhibition you get on AAPK
3:01
Now for example the glycemic index of glucose is 100 The glycephructose is about 20 But we use a new carbohydrate It called alias
3:13
It's glycemic index zero. And as a consequence, it has a dramatic effect
3:19
on enhancing the ability of protein to stop hunger. So with these two dietary technologies
3:26
combined in the new zone foods, allows you to actually go in and practice genetic engineering
3:31
genetic engineering on each of your 30 trillion cells at every meal by the food you eat
3:38
Now, this means there's, I'll have to eat these foods the rest of my life
3:43
Well, it depends on how long you want to live. Your choice
3:47
But the fact is that, you know, they can come, again, not a crutch, but basically a drug
3:55
You decide how many meals a day you want to use the drug, guaranteed
4:01
to stop hunger for five hours. And the more you use that drug, the longer you live
4:08
The more you use that drug, the more fat you lose. The more you use that drug, the more you maintain physical and mental performance
4:17
It's like, again, Wagovi or O-Zempe. What happens when you stop taking the drug
4:22
Hunger returns. So really, the zone foods are our dietary solution to freedom from hunger
4:30
Freedom of hunger, Chung Using the foods you like to eat they fun to eat easy to make and incredibly easy to clean up Absolutely And what I love the most about them is they like easy shortcuts You know it like you know that if you grabbing it you got something healthy with protein but it also quick which I think as a mom is perfect
4:50
The one thing I did want to mention to Dr. Stewart's is that I know that we're talking about genetic engineering within the body, but molecular baking with the foods is that this is still a very natural process, this molecular baking
5:01
So it's not like we're manipulating things in the lab or anything like that. It's a very natural process with the way that these foods are made
5:08
Yes. The process is similar to making a loaf of bread. If you have dough, it just, but you bake the dough
5:17
And in that process, you're now beginning to basically use a part of this molecular baking technology
5:24
So we've basically found ways to add food ingredients to speed the process up in the baking process
5:31
So again, it's, say, there's nothing unnatural about unless you think bread's on
5:34
unnatural or pizza is unnatural, but it is basically now the ingredients we use that when you bake these products
5:40
they basically have basically change the location in the gut where they're absorbed
5:46
And that change of the location has dramatic impacts, positive impacts, on reducing hunger
5:52
So what they are, all these foods, they give you really the guidelines we all search for
5:58
Freedom, freedom. Freedom for what? Freedom from hunger. Perfect. And that's where the science is behind these foods. So Dr. Sears, thanks so much for being with me today
