00:00Hey guys, it's Dory and I'm the lifestyle director at Hollywood Life and I'm here with Jillian Michaels, very special guest.
00:05You know her from so many things and now she's, you're like, you have a million books, DVDs, your app.
00:14I just got the like, I used to do your DVDs.
00:17No, no, we were just saying because I don't even have a DVD player anymore.
00:20Now it's all about your app.
00:22Do you have, girl?
00:23So tell me about your app because that's the new thing.
00:26It is a new wish, I guess.
00:27Well, I mean, compared to DVDs, apparently I'm like 90 years old.
00:31Right, and I'm like 20, but with that said, yeah, we put, I say we because my company, myself, put out an app in 2017.
00:40We won best of for Google and Apple in fitness and it essentially allows me to be a personal trainer.
00:45Yeah, it's amazing.
00:46So it's totally customizable with regard to your meal plan, your workout regimen.
00:51You can pick anything from kickboxing to yoga, 10-minute workouts to 45-minute workouts, intermediate, beginner, advanced, whatever you need.
01:00I customize it based on exactly that, your needs and your goals.
01:03And we just talked about postnatal.
01:06There is a postnatal.
01:07Guys, I'm pregnant.
01:08Postnatal, yes.
01:09Okay, perfect.
01:10Could you tell?
01:11I didn't even hesitate to be like, and I see.
01:15She was like, maybe this week is good.
01:17We're going to do some fun celebrity moves and we're going to bring in another model.
01:20But right now, I just want to talk to you.
01:22You have a new book, The Six Keys.
01:23So The Six Keys is all about, quite honestly, I mean, this is Hollywood life, right?
01:29So it's all about like, how the hell does J.Lo look like J.Lo?
01:32How?
01:32How?
01:32And by the way, a lot of the moves we're going to be doing, it's like, how does Jennifer Aniston look like Jennifer Aniston?
01:36And Julia and Charlize look like Charlize.
01:39Sandra Bullock is 54.
01:41I know.
01:41I googled that the other day after watching Bird Box.
01:44Mother of God.
01:45Really?
01:46She looks amazing.
01:4654?
01:47And it's not like, oh, and then the filler and the injection and the this and the surgery.
01:52I trained Julia, actually, so I can tell you that she is as natural as it gets.
01:59And there's so much more that goes into it.
02:01So this book is about looking your best and feeling your best at 20, 30, 40, 50, and so on.
02:07And so many kids come up to me and it's like, I say kids, 20s, and it's like, oh, I started Botox for preventative reasons.
02:14And I'm like, okay.
02:17Like, I'm glad you care about, you know, like aging well, but like maybe we're a bit misguided here.
02:24Like we need to think more inside out, not outside in.
02:27And so the six keys are really these six hallmarks of health, right?
02:32These body processes from metabolism, how we adapt to stress, our inflammation process.
02:38These things determine how well you age or how poorly you age.
02:41And the book is all about turning these keys in the right direction.
02:45So, of course, diet is a component.
02:47Fitness is a component.
02:48Lifestyle.
02:49Mind, body, environment, and all that stuff.
02:51So can you change your metabolism?
02:53Because some people, and they probably don't even know, but they're like, oh, I have a fast metabolism or I have a slow metabolism.
03:00Well, this is very interesting.
03:03And it turns out that a slower metabolism is better for a longer life.
03:10And we, you know, I was like, how the hell am I going to say that?
03:13For years I've been saying that.
03:15Speed your metabolism.
03:16But when you think about what's the benefit of a faster metabolism, it's basically just you can eat more and get away with it, which is also not good for a longer life, even if you're petite.
03:26Because the more we eat, it creates what's called oxidative stress.
03:31It's releasing free radicals.
03:32And free radicals, maybe you've read about them or heard about them on your show, but essentially they age the hell out of us.
03:38They make your skin look crappy.
03:40They make your hair thin, fall out, all this bad stuff, right?
03:43So, no, you can't stop eating, but overeating, even when you're not overweight or eating too often, is actually bad for looking good and aging well.
03:55So how often should you eat?
03:58Because sometimes you hear that you should have five or seven meals a day.
04:01No, no.
04:03So one of the keys in the book is about metabolism.
04:05But how metabolism pertains to, you know, it's, again, it's Hollywood life.
04:09I'm going to just say beauty, right?
04:11And we're not talking about Alzheimer's, even though, of course, we want to avoid that.
04:14We're talking about it on the book.
04:15But how does it pertain to how beautiful you look and feel, right?
04:20Being the best version of yourself.
04:22Well, a slower metabolism simply means we just don't eat as much, right?
04:26And we move more often, and that's the law of thermodynamics.
04:28Calories in, calories out.
04:30And that's going to dictate how much you weigh.
04:32Okay, now when we're talking about beauty and we're talking about overall health and wellness,
04:36you do want to eat on a schedule.
04:38And this is where intermittent fasting has gained some real traction, but it shouldn't be.
04:43It's becoming a trend, and it's becoming a trend synonymous with calorie deprivation, right?
04:48The 5-2 diet, starving, five days out of the week.
04:51This is no good.
04:53So where all this comes from is a body process called autophagy.
04:57It's a really fancy way of saying housekeeping.
05:00This is when your body goes in and it culls dead cells and dead tissue,
05:04and it uses that material in some cases to recycle and build new skin cells,
05:08new bone cells, new blood cells, and that's all good stuff, right?
05:11And all the waste, it just gets rid of.
05:13But when you eat too often, you're inhibiting your body's autophagy process
05:19because your body's like, oh my God, we have nutrients coming in all the time.
05:22And so would you have these metabolic pathways that basically say like,
05:26a lot of food coming in, even if it's a lot of food coming in often,
05:30or a little food coming in often all the time, it inhibits that process.
05:34So this is where fasting is good for your health because it's a period of the day where you're not eating.
05:39But it's built in inherently.
05:41It's something that's been around for thousands of years.
05:43It's actually called breakfast.
05:46Otherwise known as breaking your fast.
05:50It's crazy.
05:50It is some crazy stuff.
05:53Yeah, this is breaking news.
05:54So this isn't that so, but the bottom line is if you don't overeat,
05:59so basically you don't eat more calories than you're burning in a day,
06:01and you don't under-eat, which is calorie deprivation,
06:04eat less than you burn a day, you live in this place called calorie restriction,
06:07which is balance, eat what you burn, live in that zone, right?
06:11And then you eat breakfast.
06:13Three to four hours later, you have lunch.
06:15Three to four hours later, you have a snack.
06:17Three to four hours later, you have dinner.
06:19And then you don't eat from dinner.
06:21So let's say you and I stop eating today at 8 o'clock.
06:24We wouldn't have breakfast again until 8 o'clock the next day.
06:27And if you have health-related issues, a doctor may extend that period up to 16 hours.
06:32I can't make it past 13 that I'm ready to eat my arm off.
06:35No.
06:35Which is no good.
06:36So I say 12, 12 is really the number that I think we can get to reasonably,
06:40and that's the schedule.
06:42And then you want foods that are rich in all the macronutrients, protein, fat, and carbs.
06:47And one of the keys, another key of the six keys is macromolecules.
06:51Your cells are your macromolecules.
06:55So how well your cells are duplicating themselves, how well they're functioning, right?
07:00How well are your liver cells functioning?
07:01How well are your white blood cells functioning?
07:03Your skin cells, how are they communicating?
07:06And when you think, like, how do cells communicate?
07:08I'm going to give you a bad example.
07:10When cancer metastasizes, those cells are communicating.
07:13It's dense in here, spread out.
07:16So we want the good cells to be healthy when they're recreated,
07:21and we want them to communicate optimally and function optimally.
07:26And they're made up of protein, fat, and carbs.
07:31Guess what?
07:32Sugar, right?
07:33Guess what?
07:33Where are you going?
07:34Where are you going with this?
07:36What?
07:36Because it seems like no one's eating carbs these days, except for me, because I have a good excuse.
07:42Me!
07:43Everyone's eating carbs.
07:44I know, and they're, like, definitely afraid of carbs.
07:47So what is up with that?
07:49Oh!
07:50So, okay, first of all, this is my job.
07:54This is what I do.
07:55Right.
07:55So, I actually am a trainer and a certified nutritionist, and I have been since I was 17.
08:01I am not 17.
08:02So you can imagine it's been a hell of a long time.
08:05In that time frame, I've worked with the top endocrinologists, the top sports medicine doctors,
08:10the top registered dietitians.
08:12I heavily research everything I do, and I do it for me.
08:16Yes, I'm a businesswoman.
08:17Like, I don't care what you eat for breakfast.
08:18Do you want to eat bacon and eggs for breakfast?
08:20Have at it.
08:21For me, I want to look great and feel great for years to come.
08:25So, I do the homework for myself, for my family, for my close friends, and I put it out in the world,
08:30and if people pick up the information I throw out there, they're great.
08:34But the reality is that keto, yes, will burn fat faster because you're starving your body of carbohydrates.
08:41You have no alternative fuel source.
08:43And, well, that sounds like a good idea.
08:47And in addition, hold on, let me give you the other benefit.
08:49So, you know, if you have something severe like epilepsy, doctors have looked at if ketones could potentially help these kinds of health-related conditions, right?
09:01But I don't have epilepsy.
09:03Do you?
09:03I think most of the celebrities that do this diet don't either.
09:07So, all right, great.
09:09It can also help with insulin-related health issues.
09:12Type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, which is related to insulin resistance.
09:17Now, here's what's so crazy about this is that I had PCOS as a kid.
09:21I was overweight as a kid.
09:24I am 44, and you know what?
09:27I ate carbs.
09:29And I lost weight.
09:30And I reversed my PCOS.
09:33It's crazy, I know.
09:34And I've done it for thousands of other people over the years, all of whom ate carbs.
09:40Unbelievable.
09:41Wait, hold the presses.
09:42So, my point here is that you can do all of the good things without the negative side effects.
09:47And when we get into negative side effects, I'm going to list as extensive.
09:50So, it's everything from starving your cells that are made up of protein, fat, and carbs,
09:55creating potential micronutrient deficiencies when you start making things like a banana or papaya or pineapple, the enemy.
10:03These things have all kinds of antioxidants, which fight those bad free radicals, right?
10:08Polyphenols, vitamins, minerals, fiber.
10:11And we need fiber for digestion, heart health, gut flora, or microbiome,
10:15which is related to fat metabolism, immunity, anti-aging, a host of other things.
10:23I mean, the list is extensive.
10:24So, okay, we're going to get beyond that.
10:26Let's say you're doing keto and you're restricting calories, right?
10:29Because generally in keto, it's like, I can eat whatever I want and still burn fat,
10:33which is really bad for your health, which I just explained why.
10:36But let's say we are restricting calories and we have this overnight fast grade
10:39and we're plant-based keto for the most part, which is really hard as you'd be living on next to nothing.
10:45But you're getting all the fiber and the micronutrients.
10:48You might be missing a few digestive enzymes and a few other things,
10:51but like you're being meticulous about it.
10:53But still, diets that are high in saturated fats,
10:58and I had to do an about-face on this one as well because for years I was like,
11:01look, I mean, at the end of the day, if it's not hydrogenated and it's not fractionated,
11:05it's not that bad, you know, but it is.
11:09And now studies are showing us that saturated fat,
11:13while, yes, there are good fats and healthy fats for heart health and brain health,
11:17diets high in saturated fats are literally shredding our telomeres,
11:21which are these little taps at the end of your chromosomes that protect your DNA
11:26and how well that duplicates itself.
11:30So, I mean, beyond all the other bad stuff, it's bad for your chromosomes,
11:35it's bad for the health and the function of your cells.
11:37It's extremely hard on your liver, on your thyroid,
11:41and that's if you did it perfectly, right?
11:45Like plant-based and all the other things I mentioned,
11:47it's just got a ton of bad side effects,
11:50and all the benefits can be gained through just common sense.
11:55Just balance macros, don't eat too much, eat clean versions of those foods.
12:00It's whole grains, right?
12:01It's not white bread, it's like quinoa, black beans.
12:06It's, yeah, fruits and vegetables.
12:09That is not the enemy.
12:10Yeah, so what is like a typical daily diet for you?
12:13For me, like, this morning I had organic Greek yogurt and fruit.
12:18I had banana.
12:19Oh my god, banana is also the devil these days.
12:20So much sugar.
12:21Loaded with fiber, by the way, and magnesium, and potassium.
12:25Like, so good for you.
12:27But, oh, okay.
12:28So, anyway, I had banana, berries, and Greek yogurt.
12:32So, protein, fat, carbs, because it was, like, low-fat, 2% over.
12:37We've been running around, like, crazy days, so I must admit it.
12:39I have not.
12:39I know, it's kind of a treat.
12:41I have not yet had lunch.
12:43But I had a snack, and it was, like, this seed nut bar called,
12:47it's actually called Nutso.
12:48It's so good, I'm obsessed with it.
12:49And it's this all-organic bar that I had that has, like, tons of fiber and omega-3s and micronutrients.
12:57And at some point, I would like to get to lunch.
13:01It's just my publicist over there.
13:03She's ordering lunch.
13:04At some point, where I'll probably, honestly, like, have some sort of, like, a bowl,
13:08like, a harvest with, like, root vegetables, whole grains, veggies, somewhere in there.
13:13Yeah.
13:14And sushi for dinner.
13:15Sounds good.
13:16Yeah.
13:16A lot of carbs in there.
13:18I know.
13:19And I am, yeah, I, it's nuts.
13:23And still, you know?
13:24And believe me, if I am genetically predisposed to anything, it would be the opposite.
13:29It's cancer.
13:30Three grandparents died of cancer in their 50s.
13:32Heart disease.
13:33One drop dead of a heart attack in their 50s.
13:36So, I mean, I was overweight as a kid, and I had an insulity-related health issue,
13:40like, polycystical brain syndrome.
13:42So, I mean, I don't, like, how is it not, how am I not, how am I not proven?
13:48I feel good about my 30s.
13:49That, I don't, or, I don't know, the thousands of people that have submitted testimonials to
13:54my website just because, and you can click on and go through them, of total strangers that,
14:01like, how is that not, I'm just, I'm boggled.
14:04I believe you.
14:05I think you know what you're talking about.
14:06I actually do, but if you don't believe me, you know what else you can do?
14:09You can look at the hundreds of studies I cited in my book.
14:13You can look at those, because I actually didn't do those.
14:15You did.
14:16You did do the medical research instead of it.
14:18It's fascinating.
