[Music] hey guys dr. Berg here I have another really awesome Skype for you this is Shane Jones so welcome Shane exactly right thanks for doing this hey why don’t you just dive in and tell us a little bit about your story of what happened your struggles and then how you kind of overcame them over time sure yeah so I’ve struggled with my weight pretty much my entire life I grew up in a Filipino household so that meant a lot of rice a lot of starches a lot of desserts a lot of like sweetly marinated meats and I grew up you know learning that you know you had to finish everything on your plate and so I think all of that you know sort of predisposed me to gain a weight when I was a kid and so I pretty much just gained weight up until about high school and I think when I hit high school because I became involved in a lot of high intensity sports and a lot of running that the weight sort of plateaued and then we as a little kid will you ever wait or did you start gaining weight like when you got into high school no so I’ve been gaining weight I was big when I was like four or five and then I just got bigger until I reached high school sort of plateaued doing some sports and then it wasn’t until after college that I started ballooning up again when the activity sort of dwindled so now do you have any brothers and sisters yeah I have you did they would they overweight when there are five and six too so it’s two of us are or were two of us were overweight when we were kids and then the other two were like sort of skinny the whole time so it’s just kind of half this is interesting I’m going to talk about this because every time you know I talk to people that have been overweight their whole life I’m always interested what so can you tell tell me what age was it at five or was it at four was it at three did you start to notice in your pictures you started gaining weight 24 and that was like about the same with my younger my youngest sister - okay so now the question is you know it’s not normal for a little kid to gain weight unless there’s something that happened was there any anything that happened for example did you have asthma or any type of things were you had that your parents gave you medication steroids that before that was there anything like that I’m not sure for me but my youngest sister she had asthma and she also takes when she she has autism so she took like abilify and like just medications that made her more lethargic and hungry so I think for her her weight gain was much more rapid than mine just because she had those medications - with anything when you were 3 or 4 years old like tonsillectomy and sinus issues throat infections anything like that oh I got my tonsils taken out pretty early but I’m not sure if it was that early but yeah I did get my tonsils taken out when I when I was kid okay was there anything else that you recall that occurred just before you started gaining weight mmm not that I can remember okay with other people when I interview them definitely when they have the tonsils removed or have some type of virus or something somehow that seems to affect the metabolism that can do it as well but for you you’re not sure but you should keep looking at like keep maybe ask your parents was there anything that happened it would be just interesting to find out what one client I had she’s tried everything to lose weight I’m talking everything in fact if she doesn’t eat she doesn’t even lose weight if she doesn’t eat she’s done marathons triathlons she’s tried every diet nothing comes off and she’s been weight overweight her whole life so her husband brought her in very skeptical because they tried so many things so what I did is I worked on her immune system I didn’t even change her diet I work immune system it was the only time in her life where she started to finally lose weight a little bit each week well and then after about six weeks she was at about 1. 7 pounds lost per week and she stayed there for six months like obviously so that’s just kind of a side note for those of you that are watching that happened to have been overweight your whole life you know you always have to look at other things too now getting back to your story so you’re in high school you started becoming more active you lost weight and then I guess in college you starting anyway yeah so one it’s funny because after I thought my weight sort of would stabilize after puberty because that’s in high school after I went through puberty I was normal normal weight and then you know as I went through college and you know started tapering down on the activity and not really paying attention to what I was eating it just sort of sort of crept up behind me and it wasn’t I didn’t really even notice how big I had got until about a year after I graduated when I got a physical and I had all these like issues with my weight and my blood sugar and my blood pressure that my doctor told me I should start you know paying attention to that it wasn’t until much after what did you have did you have like what kind of conditions did they find well so my doctor told me that you know I was pre-diabetic and that I was pre hypertensive and that she wanted to run a lipid panel and check my blood glucose and stuff and that they were all indicating that I was on the track to you know become diabetic and hypertensive so I wasn’t too surprised about the pre-diabetes because my they’ve run said my dad’s had a family but I mean it just was kind of weird to hear at 23 like I didn’t expect that to be a thing right and then did you go through a lot of stress in college yeah that’s funny because you mentioned stress because I actually the first video I stumbled upon of yours was the adrenal body type and how people this body type manage stress and how that affects their weight gain and where you gain weight and I just like made a lot of sense that you know that was a body type that I had but yeah I’m really prone to stress and I’d like work it’s it’s a process to manage it what what did you study in college biology biology yeah awesome okay so now that you graduated then you started becoming more sedentary and you started game or weight and then what happened at that point yeah so there was there was some there’s an event with that um one of my younger sisters she played volleyball and then we had a sort of like gathering afterward and there were like all these games at the park and like I couldn’t like my knee my right knee gave out and I just felt really were like why like I guess I would just I haven’t been used to running for a while and I felt really out of shape and I was like maybe it’s because of all the weight that I’ve become sort of my mobility is you know taking a turn and then so at that point I was I figured I should start losing weight because I didn’t want my mobility to be even more hindered by the weight how much did you weigh that’s when it started what did you weigh at that point at your peak to 44 okay and I’ll totally I think are anything I’m 510 okay and in college I weight like that when I was in shape I’d say like 175 there’s no wow yeah and where did you hold the weight mainly around my gut and my like thighs so just kind of in the middle section pretty much yeah Wow okay so you’re at your peak you’re over 200 pounds and what happened at that point so it was really weird because I so throughout my life I’ve tried lots of different diets per se and you know they work to some extent and then I gain I’m back so I I was really worried about going on another crash diet because I like I knew enough that that wasn’t gonna be the the solution so I wanted some kind of lifestyle change that would help me manage my weight and I wasn’t really concerned with how fast or how long it would take to get there so the first thing I did was just take it easy I tried ma
