00:00Y'all are just breaking your own hearts, ain't you?
00:03Tomorrow morning, soon as that sun peeks over the trees,
00:08your alarm clock's gonna go off.
00:10You're gonna drag yourself out of that warm bed,
00:14shuffle into your kitchen,
00:16and you're gonna do exactly what the system trains you to do.
00:20You're gonna eat dessert for breakfast.
00:22You'll pour a bowl of sugary factory sludge,
00:25or you'll heat up a pastry,
00:27or you'll stack up a plate of pancakes
00:30and drown them in artificial syrup.
00:33You think you fuel in your body for the day.
00:37Child, listen to me.
00:38I am 108 years old,
00:41and I'm looking you dead in the eye right now to tell you,
00:45you are poisoning yourself before the day even starts.
00:50Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
00:53Y'all repeat that little phrase
00:55like it came down from the mountain on stone tablets.
00:59It didn't.
01:00It is a hundred-year-old lie, baby.
01:03A slick little trick cooked up by greedy men in fine suits
01:07to get you addicted to sugar right when you wake up.
01:11They took the most important hours of your day
01:14and turned them into a sugar trap.
01:17And look at you.
01:18You've still fallen for it.
01:20Eating cake for breakfast,
01:22and then you sit around wondering
01:24why your mind gets so cloudy by noon.
01:27Wondering why your body is holding on to fat.
01:30Wondering why folks are dropping dead at 60 years old.
01:35Today, I'm gonna pull the curtain back.
01:38I'm gonna tell you exactly how they turned your morning meal
01:42into a carnival trick.
01:43And if you got the stomach for the truth,
01:47I'm gonna tell you what a 108-year-old woman
01:50actually puts in her body to survive.
01:53If you want to live a long life,
01:56you better open your ears.
01:58If you want to keep eating your corporate sludge,
02:01go on and click away.
02:03I ain't got time for fools.
02:06Folks always asking me,
02:08Miss Hattie,
02:09how did we start eating so much sweet stuff in the morning?
02:12Honey, I know cause I was breathing air
02:15when they invented it.
02:17I was born in 1918.
02:19When I was a little girl,
02:21if you woke up hungry,
02:23you ate real food.
02:25You ate whatever protein was left over
02:27from the night before,
02:28or you had a couple of eggs from the yard.
02:32It was fuel.
02:33It was savory.
02:35But then,
02:36the factories took over.
02:38Mr. Kellogg and the rest of them men in the cities,
02:42they realized you couldn't box up real fresh food
02:45and sell it cheap.
02:47But you know what you can box up?
02:50Stripped down corn,
02:52wheat dust,
02:53and pure sugar.
02:54They ran the food God grew through a steel machine,
02:58stripped all the life out of it,
03:00baked it into dry little shapes,
03:02and covered it in sugar
03:04so your babies would beg for it.
03:07Then they bought up all the advertisements
03:10and told your grandmamas
03:12it was the modern, healthy way to start the day.
03:15They took breakfast and turned it into dessert.
03:19When you wake up,
03:21your body is in a natural state of healing.
03:24But the second you shovel a bowl of sweetened oats
03:27or a stack of pancakes down your throat,
03:30you stop all that healing cold.
03:33Your blood don't know the difference
03:35between a bowl of heart-healthy cereal
03:38and a candy bar.
03:40It shoots your blood sugar straight through the roof.
03:43Your poor pancreas starts panicking,
03:46dumping insulin into your veins
03:49just to keep you alive.
03:51Then,
03:52two o'clock rolls around.
03:54The crash hits.
03:56Your eyes get heavy.
03:58Your brain feels like it's wrapped up in wet cotton.
04:01You feel starving all over again.
04:04So what you do?
04:06You buy another snack.
04:08You buy another product.
04:10They feed you sugar in the morning
04:12so you stay hungry and tired all afternoon.
04:16It's a trap.
04:18Plain and simple.
04:19So,
04:20if the cereal is a trap
04:22and the pancakes are just cake,
04:24what you supposed to do?
04:26If you want to walk this earth
04:28as long as I have,
04:30you gotta break their little cycle.
04:32You gotta feed your body
04:34what it actually needs,
04:36not what the factory wants to sell you.
04:39First thing I do
04:41when I open my eyes,
04:42I drink 16 ounces of warm water
04:45with a heavy pinch of real sea salt.
04:48Wakes the gut up gentle.
04:51Rehydrates the brain.
04:53And then,
04:54I listen to my body.
04:56Most days,
04:58I just have a cup of black coffee
05:00and let my stomach rest till noon.
05:03I let my body clean house.
05:06But,
05:07if I wake up
05:08and my body is truly hollering for food,
05:11if I am absolutely starving,
05:14I do not reach for the sweets.
05:17I eat the food God made.
05:20I eat protein.
05:22I'll fry up two whole eggs,
05:24pasture-raised,
05:26the way they're supposed to be.
05:28Maybe I'll have a few slices
05:30of real uncured bacon,
05:33none of them factory chemicals
05:35or sugar rubs,
05:36just the pork belly,
05:38the way it was meant to be eaten.
05:40If I want something cold,
05:43I'll have a bowl of real heavy,
05:46plain Greek yogurt.
05:48Not that thin mess packed
05:50full of artificial flavoring.
05:52The real sour kind
05:54that actually puts good bacteria
05:56back in your gut.
05:58I'll throw a handful of wild berries in there.
06:02Maybe half a banana.
06:04Real food from the earth.
06:06When you feed your body heavy protein
06:10and natural fat in the morning,
06:12you don't crash at two o'clock.
06:15Your mind stays sharp as a tack.
06:18You give your body
06:19the actual building blocks it needs
06:22to keep your muscles strong
06:24and your heart beating.
06:26The system wants you addicted to sugar, baby.
06:29A sick, tired patient pays the bills.
06:32A tired worker don't ask no questions.
06:35If you want to take your life back,
06:38if you want to reach 108
06:40with your mind intact
06:42and your legs still carrying you,
06:45you gotta stop treating your morning
06:47like a trip to the candy store.
06:50If it's sweet, it's a treat.
06:53It ain't breakfast.
06:55Stop eating their factory sludge.
06:57Drink your water.
06:59Eat your eggs.
07:00Eat your meat.
07:02Give your body the respect it deserves.
07:05You got a choice tomorrow morning.
07:07You can fuel your body
07:09the way the good Lord intended
07:11or you can keep eating their dessert
07:14and wonder why your body
07:16is giving out on you at 60.
07:19Don't be a fool.
07:21Time is getting short.
07:23It's the 11th hour.
07:25Wake up.
07:26It's the 11th hour.
07:26It's the 11th hour.
