Episode 2227 - On this Saturday's show, we replay the first time Vinnie Tortorich speaks to Dr. Jason Fung and they discuss his book The Obesity Code, insulin and weight loss, metabolic syndrome, intermittent fasting, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/best-of-insulin-weight-loss-dr-jason-fung-episode-2227 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN INSULIN & WEIGHT LOSS Vinnie welcome Dr. Jason Fung, who is a kidney specialist. (2:05) He works often with type 2 diabetics -- the biggest cause of kidney nephropathy. Type 2 is linked closely with obesity. Insulin has negative effects. Visit his website here Vinnie tells Dr. Fung about his visit to his hometown of Donaldsonville. (7:05) Everyone he met was on multiple medications. They all had some kind of sugary drink in their hands. They discuss how obesity is misunderstood; it is linked with several diseases and is often a part of metabolic syndrome. (8:00) Dr. Fung recommends The Aetiology of Obesity Lectures. (9:00) Sugar is the enemy, not calories! Calories In, Calories Out (CICO) doesn't work or even make sense. (9:10) When you eat fewer calories, your energy expenditure (and thus fat/fuel usage) goes down. You simply get hungrier. It takes time to lose weight. Lots of things raise insulin, not just sugars and grains. (19:40) Insulin resistance leads to higher insulin levels. INTERMITTENT FASTING A key way to break insulin resistance is intermittent fasting. (23:20) Intermittent fasting should happen every day--Dr. Fung explains. (27:50) Having snacks doesn't allow your body to process all the hormones properly. (29:00) Shorter fasts aren't really enough. Dr. Fung explains the various fasting methods he recommends, even longer ones under medical supervision. Body switches to fat burning. (33:15) Obesity is a hormonal imbalance, not a caloric one. (42:00) Cortisol is a stress hormone -- encourages getting fat. Prednisone is a synthetic form of cortisol. Leptin is produced by fat cells and regulates how much fat is in the body If you have lots of fat, leptin is released and tells your brain to stop gaining more weight. When you are quite fat, your body stops responding to leptin. Leptin is a secondary hormone, so it doesn't pass the causal test. Ghrelin is another one of these secondary hormones; as a result, no lasting effect so doesn't pass the causal test either. Vinnie and Dr. Fung discuss a bit more about why CICO doesn't work. (45:00) Type 2 diabetes can be reversed in most cases; however, you can't treat a disease of having too much insulin by giving more insulin! (51:45) They give great comparisons as examples. There needs to be a grassroots movement for changes in the system; there are too many conflicts of interest with people who want to keep the meds going and how they fund things like universities. (53:40) NOTE: At the end of the show, Vinnie references Anna Vocino's old website, but she can now be found at annavocino.com.

Episode 2226 - On this Friday's show, Vinnie Tortorich speaks to Dr. Nadir Ali and they discuss low-carb events, lipotoxicity and cholesterol, dopamine and hijacking your brain, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/11/hijacking-your-brain-episode-2226 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN STATINS AND CHOLESTEROL Vinnie welcomes Dr. Nadir Ali back as a guest and they start by chatting a bit about Dr. Ali's focus on educational events, quality cholesterol, and living a "non-prescription lifestyle." (2:35) They also discuss how several doctors' or writers' careers have been limited, or even stopped, when they have tried to educate with the truth. (5:45) Maryanne Demasi from Australia is an example; Vinnie explains who she is. Also, both Gary Fettke and Tim Noakes have been targeted previously.

Dr. Ali goes into detail about when things like statins and CAC scans can be useful, and when they are unnecessary.

He also goes into detail about genetic factors like PCSK-9, and how it makes a difference in cholesterol levels. (20:30) Vinnie asks about the carnivore diet and whether it's a good idea for cholesterol. (23:00) There are plenty of good reasons to eat meat.

HIJACKING YOUR BRAIN They switch to talking about how to get people to change their habits, as everyone always wants a "magic bullet". (31:00) Dr. Ali goes into how he and his colleagues have come up with tricks and hacks to help people improve their habits. (31:30) Dr. Ali goes into detail about the "dopamine spike effect." (32:10) He describes studies that show the anticipation of the reward is what spikes the dopamine, NOT the reward itself. He also talks about how food engineering has manipulated our brains to want to eat more, especially things like sugars. Vinnie and Dr. Ali discuss addiction, and willpower vs. changing your environment. (37:00) They discuss how to get someone who is less disciplined to be able to change habits. (47:10) Dr. Ali describes a study that shows how random rewards affect dopamine, anticipation, and behavior. (50:50) The same behavior modification is used in Vegas on slot machines. The food industry uses a similar effect to hijack your brain by modifying food to trigger addiction and purchasing patterns. This leads the conversation to today's tech, algorithms, and the challenge of addiction in that area. (54:00) Vinnie tells Dr. Ali about what he observed with a young man at the gym. Dr. Ali mentions how he has changed his environment to change his patterns. For all the benefits of tech, there is a detrimental side. (59:00) Dr. Ali can be found at alicardiology.com; on youtube at eatmostlyfats; and in his Low Carb Denver talk. [the_ad id="20253"] PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched on January 11!

Episode 2225 - On this Wednesday's show, we replay episode 266: Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss Dr. David Perlmutter's book, Grain Brain, with him in his first appearance on the show. They also discuss gluten and your health, saturated fats, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/11/gluten-your-health-dr-david-perlmutter-episode-2226 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN GLUTEN & YOUR HEALTH This episode is jam-packed with great information about how gluten and carbs affect brain health and function! Vinnie and Anna chat for a bit about a variety of things, then welcome Dr. David Perlmutter to the show. (18:05) Dr. David Perlmutter is the author of the bestseller "Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth about Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar--Your Brain's Silent Killers." It's all about gluten and your health. Gluten sensitivity may relate to 30-40% of all people walking the planet who have a significant inflammatory response when they consume this protein found in wheat, barley, and rye called gluten. (22:40) Gluten induces inflammation and inflammation is the cornerstone of everything you don't want to get, like Alzheimer's, heart disease, and even cancer. (23:30) Your risk of developing type 1 diabetes if you have celiac disease is increased by about 300%. (23:50) Gluten sensitivity is an issue that goes far beyond a gut and upset stomach; it can cause joint pain, skin issues, and brain-related problems like depression and dementia, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive activity, and even schizophrenia. (24:40) People are misled that once they go gluten-free they're going to lose a lot of weight, which isn't true. Gluten-free food still has carbohydrates. (26:35) Fruit should be limited as well; Dr. Perlmutter and Vinnie suggest what is reasonable, as fruit is a very concentrated form of sugar. (26:45) SATURATED FATS AS SUPER FUEL We desperately need saturated fat; as a result, we have to revise the whole notion that fat is bad for you. (28:00 Humans have been on a high-fat, low-carb, gluten-free diet for about two million years and it served us very well until the government decided to tell us that we need to go on a low-fat diet. (28:20) There's this bizarre notion that you need to have your whole grains each day and it just isn't true. (29:40) In 1992 the US government said we should eat a low-fat or no-fat diet and within 10 years of that doctrine, the rate of diabetes rose by 300%. (30:50) A recent study shows that saturated fat has no relevance when it comes to heart disease whatsoever. (31:20) Egg substitutes are detrimental to health but whole eggs are extremely healthful. (34:00) When it comes to dementia it's all about the carbs, not cholesterol--the brain needs cholesterol to function. (36:00) When people go gluten-free, cut out the carbs and reintroduce fat, we see breathtaking things: gaining back brain function, reducing issues with ADHD, losing weight, sleeping better, better libido, and less depression. (40:30) Glycation is the combination of protein and sugar, which increases the production of free radicals and turns on inflammation, which is the cornerstone of brain degeneration. (41:10) Dr. Perlmutter explains A1C; there is a perfect correlation between A1C levels and the risk of brain shrinkage and dementia. (42:00) As much as 54% of Alzheimer's cases in America could be avoided if people learned the impact of their lifestyle choices. (43:00) They also chat a bit about medications, especially for kids with ADHD. (46:00) They also chat about the relationship between doctors and drug companies.

Episode 2224 - On this Monday's show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss empowering people to better their health, unplugging, how nature will save us, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/10/nature-will-save-us-epsidoe-2224 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN CARB SEASON & CARB ADDICTION Anna is making a fabulous "Stewanesca" on youtube while she and Vinnie chat, so check it out! She's also describing her process during the show. You can also find the recipe for "Stewtanesca" on Anna's Substack at annavocino.substack.com. Anna has a link to her NSNG®-friendly Thanksgiving holiday recipes! Go here and Eat Happy! Vinnie starts the show by sharing an upcoming Instagram post about trick-or-treating. (3:45) He has a lot of hope in some younger doctors who are looking at medicine differently to avoid shelling meds out like candy. (5:45) Vinnie also mentions how many people have a hard time with carb addiction where something like one slice of pizza can really derail progress. (13:30) It's a great thing when people have enough awareness about themselves, so they can stay on top of temptation. The pandemic is in the rearview mirror, so people need to stop using that as an excuse. Anna agrees and Vinnie just wants to see people win; he references recent Saturday guest Jen Mendyka. You can hear her episode here. Anna mentions how she is reminded of Vinnie's story about going home to Louisiana to visit several years ago, and all the people he knew his age were on multiple medications. (15:50) She shares some thoughts on how her understanding has changed a bit during the past ten years and now she is also witnessing friends struggling with health and multiple medications. This is why they both care so much--it is so important to get the word out about proper eating and health, so people can empower themselves! (17:00) Vinnie and Anna chat about what a huge percentage of advertising is for medications; as a result, a whole country has been conditioned to think that they need medications to solve their health. (18:00) This only places more demands on doctors, who are already limited on time and their approach. Vinnie reminds us that we will financially break under our own weight. NATURE WILL SAVE US Vinnie chimes in with an update on his cardio goals for this year. He's very close, but he also isn't going to stop when he reaches his goal! (27:10) He also brings up the recent challenge he participated in based on what he heard on the Adam Carolla show. (28:20) He describes what he did, and it included unplugging for 24 hours. He describes what his big takeaway is and how freeing it was. Anna emphasizes that Nature will save us! As they wrap up the show, Vinnie and Anna chat about how grateful they are for the outpouring of support about adding a fee to the NSNG® e-book.

Episode 2223 - On this Sunday's show, Vinnie Tortorich and Gina Grad talk about fast initial weight loss, how your liver keeps score, and "white knuckling" it all, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/your-liver-keeps-score-episode-2223 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOUR LIVER KEEPS SCORE Gina is excited as she continues to lose weight with steady progress. (1:25) Vinnie chats about one of his brothers who has been struggling with weight loss for years. (4:00) His brother is always focusing on how much initial weight loss he loses but then struggles when the numbers slow down. A lot of people struggle because of unrealistic expectations; as a result, Vinnie tries to help with their perspective. Gina reminds us that "perfect is the enemy of good." Vinnie is reminded of a story he has about Adam Carolla and how the conversation and excuses build up. Small bites turn into big cheats, and your liver doesn't have a chance to level out. Your liver keeps score and doesn't care what your brain tries to justify. Vinnie and Gina chat about certain folks and their habits, which are only ways of "white knuckling" through things, instead of just keeping NSNG and being truly sated. (13:15) This reminds Gina of her recent anniversary dinner with her husband and how they enjoyed some great food and were satisfied without having to go all in on the NSNG® items.(18:325) They chat a little further about some Los Angeles dining and a particularly magical salad.

(1:30) She didn't have a lot to lose, but the difference is amazing and she looks both healthy and younger. Phyllis shares her back story of some of her struggles with weight and self-image growing up. (4:00) She did all the different diets starting at a young age. She was always worried about food and what she could and couldn't have. Being on NSNG®, she's noticed how dramatically her body composition has changed for the better. Vinnie and Phyllis discuss food addiction and its challenges. (8:15) She has read all the books by low-carb doctors and others so she is constantly learning. Being educated about the topic has helped her realize she will never go back to her previous way of eating. Phyllis describes how her health has improved with NSNG®: as a result, it helped her discover some food triggers. (16:00) She transitioned to carnivore, just to experiment, and she loves the way she feels. She has discovered food freedom and describes what she means by that. Vinnie understands what she means by that and has his own story to tell. (21:15) They also chat about how being surrounded by those who support you is so helpful. They discuss leading by example rather than preaching to others. Speaking of leading by example, Phyllis has a son who has improved his weight and health as well. (31:45) The conversation switches to old cereal ads and other ads that set a "standard of beauty"; consequently, they had negative effects in various ways. (34:00) Those were standards that made many people feel that they could never measure up. Phyllis needs to be celebrated!

Episode 2221 - On this Friday's show, Vinnie Tortorich speaks to Dr. Lisa Strohman about how some technology and social media have led to kids being "half-baked", how much of it creates disconnection not connection, the ill effects of certain social media, and more. http://vinnietortorich.com/half-baked-disconnected-dr-lisa-strohman-episode-2221 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN HALF-BAKED Vinnie welcomes Dr. Lisa to the show, who is the author of two books, Unplug and Digital Distress. Vinnie starts by telling Dr. Lisa about what he observed at the gym recently when a young man literally couldn't put his phone down. (2:30) So many people are dependent on their phones, but he doesn't want his life ruled by a 2" x 4" piece of glass! (7:00) Vinnie says kids are "half-baked" and what he means by that. Dr. Lisa agrees; kids do not have a real sense of self without having external affirmation; as a result, everything is distorted. (8:00) Kids don't understand tech as a mere tool. She has witnessed the psychology behind the use of certain technology. Dr. Lisa talks about the psychological profiling of the two teens behind the Columbine shooting in 1999. (11:40) This is a mental health problem--the disconnect is very real; many kids don't even know how to make eye contact. (17:20) She reviews some of the issues that impact kids at younger and younger ages. The addiction-reward neural pathway is getting activated early on. Vinnie shares an uncomfortable story about a teen he used to know years ago. (19:40) Dr. Lisa shares what she knows about how insidious "ad bundles" lure kids in. (23:20) DISCONNECTED They also chat about what they observe at places like restaurants, as well as how body image and filters are distorting reality and expectations. (30:00) The conversation turns to social media and the messages people see and respond to. (53:30) Vinnie gives the example of treatment between Lizzo vs. Adele. They chat about trending and how being negative gets you seen more; there is desperation to be relevant. The art of conversation, connection, and communication are getting lost. Vinnie asks Dr. Lisa what we can do. (47:30) Dr. Lisa gives several examples, including what she has done with her children. Many parents have given up because it's easier to hand over the device than to step up. She explains how devices are stealing children away from their parents. They also discuss the hyper-sexualization of girls and boys at younger ages and how they become brazen in their behavior. (52:45) Dr. Lisa and Vinnie talk about some of the trends, and how they affect standards of behavior towards one another, especially sexual behavior. They transition to the early days of online dating and today's online culture of dating apps and what it means to "swipe." (1:05:00) She talks about how some of her clients she see often deal with emotional issues from rejection. Ghosting is rude. Vinnie invites Dr. Lisa back as this is her specialty--dealing with the psychological challenges of tech and life online.

Vinnie asks her to recap her own personal success story and how it made her question her job at Noom. (1:30) They chat about some of the discrepancies, monthly costs, and how the company is pivoting in its methods. They also chat about the small cost of Vinnie's Intro to NSNG® e-book, and how it compares to programs like Weight Watchers and others. Ten dollars for Vinnie's e-book is not "nickel and dimeing"! Noom is now trying to incorporate medicines (GLP-1) into its program! (13:50) Noom is even contradicting itself in what it says works. So many of these drugs are simply dangerous and don't live up to the hype. Vinnie lets out an audible sigh. He has had enough. Vinnie switches up the conversation to chat about a challenge Adam Carolla proposed. (26:20) Vinnie has already stepped up! He encourages others to do similar and smacks down all of Lacey's excuses about doing that kind of challenge, too. It's a great habit to unplug and get out in nature without any kind of electronics.

Episode 2216 - On this Friday's show, Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dr. Stephen Cunnane and they discuss brain development and fats, taking care of your brain, supplements, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/taking-care-your-brain-dr-stephen-cunnane-episode-2216 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN TAKING CARE OF YOUR BRAIN Vinnie starts the show by sharing how he heard about Dr. Stephen Cunnane through Dr. Mary Newport, who has been on the show recently. (1:45) Dr. Steven Cunnane talks a bit about his book, Survival of the Fattest: The Key to Human Brain Evolution The book discusses brain development in babies and the need for healthy fats. (6:00) It also discusses how various nutrients play the part in various ways in human evolution. The big question Vinnie and Stephen discuss is: are you taking care of your brain? (15:00) Or are you letting it rot with what you are eating? Vinnie's interest in the brain comes from taking years of beatings playing football; as a result, he's curious about CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy). (16:00) Stephen says it's never too late to be able to make improvements; the question becomes "what can you do"? (21:25) Part of the challenge is the parameters given to doctors that make them hesitant to suggest low-carb. Mark Cucazzella is brought up as an example. The two discuss the movie "First Do No Harm", by Jim Abrams of the Charlie Foundation. (25:05) Charlie's doctors wanted to give him a lobotomy for his seizures; instead, they controlled his epilepsy with the ketogenic diet. They also discuss Eric Westman, Jeff Volek, Steve Phinney, Tim Noakes, and others and what an important part they play in low-carb science. They switch to discuss certain limitations of the current healthcare systems. (29:50) Certain low-carb doctors are walking away from standard practice so they can actually practice health care and not sick care. ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS Vinnie and Stephen also discuss what zinc and other minerals are optimal for the brain and how they help. (34:10) They discuss iodine, zinc, selenium, and certain deficiencies. They chat about the best sources of various nutrients. More is not always better, and Dr. Cunnane explains why. Don't over-intellectualize it: just eat sensibly. The conversation leads to a discussion about omega fatty acids, cholesterol, and ketones, and how the brain needs them. (46:30) There is still plenty to learn about cognitive decline and Alzheimer's; a lot of questions remain! (51:00) But there is more to it than diet and diabetes; social interaction, looking forward to things, and exercise seem to play a part as well in keeping a healthy brain. Conflicts of interest in science and medicine muddy up the waters of good information. (55:00) Dr. Cunnane has been awarded a research chair position at his university; as a result, the research will focus on ketotherapeutics. (1:01:30) They'll be studying ketogenic interventions of all sorts for mental illness, neurodegenerative disorders, and more.

Episode 2210 - BEST OF: On this special edition of the Wednesday show, we replay episode 838 when Vinnie Tortorich welcomes back Dr. William Davis to discuss his book "Undoctored", the state of the healthcare industry, becoming undoctored, the effects of grains and sugars on your body, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/best-of-becoming-undoctored-dr-william-davis-epsiode-2210 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN BECOMING UNDOCTORED Vinnie welcomes Dr. William Davis who is a prominent cardiologist and also the author of "Wheat Belly". (2:00) Dr. Davis gives his own backstory of when he was in med school and the effects of the lifestyle and food that was available. (4:00) Vinnie and William discuss how diet is so important and the dietary guidelines are just bad! (8:00) All the grains that are promoted are to blame for T2D and autoimmune disorders. Many vitamin and mineral deficiencies happen because grains affect absorption and gut and bowel flora. (9:45) William then gives the reason behind writing his book "Undoctored". (10:30) Vinnie asks William where the idea of fiber and grains being beneficial to the bowel originated. (14:00) They also discuss how inflammation affects the body; Vinnie explains what would happen during his ultra racing. (20:25) William gives his thoughts on inflammation and toxins.

(46:15) William explains why parts of the cholesterol test aren't even an accurate measurement. Many doctors are motivated by money. (49:30) Because the sugar industry controls so much, often doctors become pariahs if they speak out against sugar and grain. An example is the treatment of Dr. Tim Noakes in South Africa when he was actually treating people and getting them healthy. (51:00) Dr. Davis tries to uncover the truths behind that in his new book. Health is a basic right. The grain industry has hired PR firms to discredit Dr. Davis. They also discuss several prominent vegan doctors. (56:00) William summarizes steps you can take for better health that he discusses in his "Undoctored" book as well. (1:01:10) Dr. Davis also discusses some of the books in his series, including cookbooks as well. (1:04:00) [the_ad id="20253"] PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched on January 11!
