Episode 2108 - On this Sunday School episode, Vinnie Tortorich and Gina Grad talk Gina's breast reduction surgery, feeling comfortable in your body, healing, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/05/feeling-comfortable-in-your-body-episode-2108 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY Gina recently had surgery to reduce her breasts. She is a small woman (5'5") and her breasts were very disproportionately large. This was a medical surgery, not a cosmetic one. Her insurance company covered it quite easily. Post-op, she has to wear certain clothes and follow certain protocols to ensure she heals up healthily. For the first few days, she felt pretty sick. Now, she's feeling better but taking it easy. Mostly, she's walking, and it feels good -- including on a cellular level. Eating healthily tough because she is dealing with nausea, but she wants to get back on the wagon as soon as possible. Right now, she needs to eat what she can stomach, even if that's rice or bread. FEELING COMFORTABLE IN YOUR BODY Now, she feels fantastic and so much more proportional! It is tough on your body to have so much weight that is 'non-functional' insofar as it is not muscle. She didn't want to do anything with impact because it was uncomfortable and would hurt her chest. This took about 4 lbs off. She hopes to be "streak-ready" soon, post-op and back on the NSNG® wagon. PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched this week, January 11! Order it TODAY!

Episode 2107 - On this Saturday show, Katherine Craig joins Vinnie and the two talk Vizslas, battling allergies with diet, dog food, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/05/battling-allergies-with-diet-episode-2107 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods KATHERINE'S STORY She used to be the calorie queen -- she'd eat any and all sweets. Despite working in medicine, she'd eat cupcakes whenever offered. One day, she ate a cupcake and had a severe allergic reaction. It didn't have anything in it that she hadn't had before, but it kept happening. They didn't know what was wrong with her, but they gave her medication -- like putting a bandaid on a bleeding wound without figuring out what caused it. Katherine decided she needed to try something to stop the allergic reactions and her stomach issues. She began by trying paleo for one month. This was mostly meat, fish, veggies and fruit. BATTLING ALLERGIES The paleo diet took away the allergic reactions and her stomach pain, but as soon as she'd start 'cheating,' by eating anything she wanted, she'd get the pain and allergic reactions back. When she was eating badly, she was on TONS of medications and her environmental allergies. She also found out she's highly allergic to soy -- at restaurants, the meat must be cooked on foil to avoid touching the grill. If she has too much dairy, her environmental allergies kick back in. Much of this has to do with the body's inflammation, and when she is careful about what she eats (very low carb, no sugar, no grains), the inflammation is low enough that these allergic reactions don't really surface. NSNG® has worked for her, and it has also helped her avoid diabetes which she is predisposed to. PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched this week, January 11! Order it TODAY!

Episode 2106 BEST OF: We replay the first-ever episode of the podcast, where Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino launch the podcast by introducing themselves. They also discuss how the health & fitness industry has been less than helpful in getting Americans in shape, the China study, gluten-free diet, why Vinnie is America's angriest trainer, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/05/best-of-americas-angriest-trainer-episode-2106 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli AMERICA'S ANGRIEST TRAINER Vinnie isn't actually an angry guy. He's not mad at you. Rather, he's mad that those in search of money and power, and those who could make you healthy, do not look after your health. Simply put, your good intentions have been stolen, and Vinnie wants to help you get them back. FAILED DIET PLANS Anna had tried Weight Watchers. Things like this didn't work. She also tried a new app when this show started. But to be frank, the app which focused on CICO sets Anna and others up to fail and need their services again. You should never be eating in a way where you think to yourself: "I was good today." What really works is changing your lifestyle.

Episode 2105 - On this Wednesday show, Andy Schreiber and Vinnie Tortorich talk vegans on Twitter, losing muscle, various exercising like cycling and jumping rope, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/05/losing-muscle-is-preventable-episode-2105 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VEGANS ON TWITTER Vinnie's very active on Twitter. He tries to provide free advice through this medium. But often, vegans come after him. He doesn't like to block them, but they're so crazy. Unfortunately, they aren't there for conversation, they're just their to clog the conversation. This is personal, and sometimes they go ad hominem. LOSING MUSCLE In our 30s, we stop building muscle. Instead, we lose a pound or so a year if we don't do anything. But, you can keep (and grow) these muscles. It doesn't matter what age you are, your muscle fibers grow the same. That said, you might need more recovery as you get older. Think of Reagan -- he gained a ton of muscle after the assassination attempt. He needed new suits at 70 because of his muscle! Work the muscles you want to keep! It's that simple. Do a little every day, over the course of the day. Even getting up to move around can help with this. Weight lifting has lots of benefit for many.

Episode 2104 - On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk crazy veganism, common phone calls, walking the straight and narrow to fix metabolic disorder, the effects of alcohol, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/05/the-straight-and-narrow-episode-2104 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli CRAZY VEGANISM One of the bad parts of veganism is the 'splainers. They spend all their time talking about how they and the way they're living is better. That's all they talk about -- and it's an attempt at indoctrination. It's unsolicited proselytizing. COMMON PHONE CALLS Vinnie does lots of phone consults. There are three common types: 1. Am I doing this right? 2. I feel like I'm "plateauing." 3. I'm doing well about this, but what about life into living? People feel like this is working but they have common trouble. Schedule a call with him if you need some one-on-one consulting. THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW It can be tough to keep with it strictly. Anna and Vinnie both suggest going all in for 60 to 120 days. Sometimes people want to cut corners or change things up in a way that's not For lots of people who are metabolically damaged, eating things like tropical fruit are making deals with themselves. This is something that caused a problem from the start –– sugar –– so stay away with it. No excuses and no shortcuts! Especially if you have a sugar addiction. If you're beating addiction -- treat it like any other addiction. Before you know it, you'll be eating everything unhealthy more often than you'd like.

Episode 2103 - On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad and Vinnie Tortorich talk good and bad oils, inflammation, saturated fats, cholesterol lies, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/05/good-and-bad-oils-episode-2103 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods GOOD AND BAD OILS Not all oils are created equally. This does not have to do with fat content. Rather, some oils are highly processed and cause tons of inflammation. Seed oils are among the worst. STAY AWAY from corn oil. This is similar to what they use in machinery! Vinnie thinks soybean oil should be illegal. Palm oil, however, is pretty good! Vinnie would recommend. Same with coconut oil and avocado oil. Olive oil, ghee and butter are always a safe bet. If anyone is talking to you about your cholesterol and oils, make sure you don't just take that at face value. So much of what we are told about cholesterol in the mainstream is BS. We need cholesterol and if we don't eat enough, our body will make more.

Episode 2102 - On this Saturday BEST OF show, Dr. Georgia Ede joins Vinnie Tortorich. The two talk biases, variables, epidemiological studies, the relationship between good nutrition and brain health, artificial sweeteners and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/05/sugar-and-brain-health-georgia-ede-episode-2102 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods BRAIN HEALTH She went to medical school in Vermont. Dr. Ede her residency at Harvard for four years. Dr. Ede believes that for many, it is easier to believe that saturated fat is what causes fat. Not always financial bias. Ex: Loma Linda University study (promotes vegetarian diet) found that saturated fats hurt mice (they ignored that also in the higher fat diet was a MUCH greater amount of sugar). Other studies that say meat is bad removed all processed foods at the same time. There are no pure studies that say animal foods are bad for your health. She believes removing the processed foods is where the money is at . Now, Dr. Georgia does not eat plant foods or dairy. Fish and other meats. Pretty extreme diet. In ketosis constantly. Insulin has to cross into the brain. Your brain can become insulin resistant. Then your cells will starve to death when your brain is filled with glucose that can't be broken down. Link between sugar consumption and Alzheimers. She agrees that these artificial sweeteners are so similar to sugar that your body can't really tell the difference. They trick the body into thinking carbs are coming, thereby raising insulin levels. Coffee, Dr. Ede believes, can be very helpful for those with head trauma, ADD, ADHD, etc. Stimulant is good!

Episode 2101 - On this Friday show, Mike Catherwood joins Vinnie Tortorich and the two talk Tom Leykis, Mike's career in radio, battling addiction, staying fit healthily, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/05/battling-addiction-staying-fit-healthily-mike-catherwood-episode-2101 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli CAREER IN RADIO Mike is a great voice in radio. You might know him as Psycho Mike from KROQ. KROQ is a hugely influential force in Los Angeles. He also co-hosted the famous radio show, Loveline, for six years. Mike got to KROQ in 2003. He grew up listening to the station. Prior to radio, he was an aspiring musician but as that didn't take off full-time, he found his way to radio. Initially, he wanted to be a songwriter and he played bass and guitar. His first gig in radio was in production on a morning show. BATTLING ADDICTION Earlier in his life, he suffered with addiction during this time. He would have long periods of blacking out and was really struggling. Mike had done so much damage before he got help that stuck. He would be clean for a few weeks at a time but he couldn't stay clean. The most recent time he (and hopefully the last time he'll have to) got sober, he finally realized this was something he had to do to save himself. Mike follows the twelve step program, but he recognizes it's not for everyone. It'll be 20 years of sobriety for Mike later this year! this means he'll have been in recovery for half of his life. It's important to Mike that he not forget about this period of time. He's proud of the man he is now -- not reckless, a family man. STAYING FIT HEALTHILY Mike looks amazing and stays in great shape. He even inspires Vinnie to keep working out! For Mike, he had to make sure that he did not overdo it with working out. He had to find synergy between his mental health and his p For awhile, he was genuinely addicted to lifting weights and looking better. His addiction bled over to his body. This wasn't healthy for him. He didn't care how many steroids he took, and he was still never comfortable in his own skin. Finally, a few years ago, he found how to find comfort in what he was doing and in his relationship with food. He now focuses on developing himself positively emotionally and physically.

They don't work - they're selling crap. Lots of products are marketed as healthy or 'keto,' but they're filled with crap and sweeteners. This is true of many vitamins and supplement products, too. And those are probably filled with seed oils. Try to avoid anything that seems too good to be true, or is just temporary. There aren't shortcuts, and real, whole food is always better. You also shouldn't have to pay extra to adapt to a new lifestyle. OLD-SCHOOL GYMS Vinnie used to go to some pretty old-school gyms, and prefers finding gyms like this if he can. Lots of the guys were body-builder types. They'd try to sell PEDs to one another! Anna sees a super roided up guy at her gym pretty often. And the other day, we was talking about eating quinoa.

Episode 2098 - On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad and Vinnie Tortorich talk reduction surgeries, the harms of bullying, good and bad teachers, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/05/the-harms-of-bullying-episode-2098 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods REDUCTION SURGERIES Vinnie and Gina both recently had 'elective' surgeries. Gina had a reduction surgery up top -- she's sick of being top heavy. This wasn't just cosmetic, though. It's for her health and her bones and such. For Vinnie, he had Guam removed -- a growth down below. Both are recovering now. THE HARMS OF BULLYING Vinnie was bullied as a child. His mom held him back because she thought he needed it. It made things worse. The other children, AND the nuns, bullied Vinnie. They called him "Vinna" because his deafness and speech impediment prevented him from saying his name correctly. They'd make fun of him in other ways too. This is why Vinnie does not like nuns -- they were supposed to protect him, and they hurt him. Then, the other kids thought they could do it too. This bullying left a mark on Vinnie. He can't imagine how much worse it is now with the internet. He understands why kids self-harm, especially when they don't have the support at home. Be kind to people, whether in person or behind a keyboard. Good teachers can counteract this. Some teachers ask for 'citizens of the week,' or asks students who they'd like to sit to. This lets them see who is being ostracized or bullied, and then teachers can give those students extra attention. Shoutout to the teacher that posted about this and brought it to Gina's attention!

Lots of people want to have their word, but it's difficult to establish an audience and keep them coming back. This is not easy work or passive income. Sometimes Vinnie still has to pay out of pocket month-to-month. If you want to find success, find an audience and keep them coming 2000+ shows later! Just don't expect this to be a significant source of income. QUICKER RECOVERY Dan's dad needed a hip replacement. His doctor told him that if he lost some weight before his hip shoulder and surgeries, it would help. Then, he went to Dan, and Dan showed him the NSNG® PDF and tried to assure him that what he was doing is correct. His dad was shocked by how good he felt. He had more energy, less inflammation, and lost around 25 lbs. From the time he had his first surgery (on his shoulder), he had incredible recovery within three weeks. He had his hip replaced on March 7. He didn't really need the painkillers, and didn't use the cane much. One wouldn't believe he had his hip replaced two months ago. The doctors were impressed, too. Dan feels this is, of course, because of his lifestyle change and healthy eating. Lots of other people (including Vinnie) have had similar experiences post-op.

Episode 2096 - On this Friday show, the wonderful Cynthia Thurlow, Nurse Practitioner, joins Vinnie again, and they talk the intermittent fasting transformation, cholesterol levels and the harms of statins, hormones in women, menopause, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/05/intermittent-fasting-transformation-cynthia-thurlow-episode-2096 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli CYNTHIA THURLOW Cynthia is a nurse practitioner. She's been on the show before! She realized she wanted to have deep conversations with her patients about nutrition and lifestyle, so she left her job which didn't promote that. Almost simultaneously, she began talking to many women. These women, like Cynthia, had just been told that they had to accept they'd gain weight in their 40s. Cynthia wasn't satisfied with this. From here, she did a TedX Talk which went big, and wrote a book. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_Li_LyPBlc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6Dkt7zyImk She focuses on intermittent fasting in women because most resources do not focus on female physiology or hormones. Cynthia doesn't want women to feel like they must apologize for being women. INTERMITTENT FASTING TRANSFORMATION https://cynthiathurlow.com/book/ Jason Fung wrote an endorsement of the book. Many women feel slaves to their scale, to counting calories, and to their treadmill. Cynthia believes this is very destructive and wanted to figure out sustainable ways to help women feel good about themselves and be healthy. If can be a great way for women to lose and then sustain their weight. Approaching health and medicine holistically is so very important. She realized many of her patients' total cholesterol levels were very low and they were on statins. This is a marker of morbidity and health issues. For diabetics, she found that statins could really hurt. We need cholesterol for our bodies to live and build. Fasting in women, we need to lean into our physiology. For example, things are different for women during their menstrual cycles. Estrogen and progesterone are important and make a big difference.

CHANNELING ENTHUSIASM If you're enthusiastic and committed, you can come from behind and succeed. You have to jump in to what you really want. Many people do this with NSNG® -- they have come from behind stories. Some of these folks have lost ~300 lbs. These stories don't just come in the form of health stories. Think of the making of The Godfather. Think of trying for that goal you've always wanted to achieve. Think of a passion you'd like to better commit to. You have to be unwilling to quit.

He called it Guam -- he took care of it, but it didn't have full rights, etc. After many years, he found a great urologist and had it removed recently. We say goodbye to Guam! This was just an elective surgery because it got too uncomfortable. He had a drain and had to get checked out. Vinnie feels great, all things considered. He's grateful this way of living reduces inflammation. THE QUEST FOR HEALTH Rina has a fabulous YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/c/The5MinuteBody She tries to edutain -- make educational videos that people also enjoy!

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/05/combating-nausea-motion-sickness-episode-2093 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods COMBATING NAUSEA Gina had terrible food poisoning last week. She always cooks her meat so that she can't even worry whether it's fully cooked. Vinnie's had food poisoning and salmonella before. He was on the ground with salmonella, so dehydrated. Vinnie likes to travel, but he gets unbelievably nauseous from motion sickness in cars and on planes and boats, and even after spinning around a couple of times. He doesn't love Dramamine, but he doesn't want to stop traveling. The little bracelets didn't work -- neither the electric nor the accupressure. Now Vinnie uses scopace -- he was prescribed this by a doctor. He loves it, in part, because he can drive after landing. They don't make it anymore, but you can still get it once it's prescribed at compound pharmacies. This is very different than Zofran which is what you use when you're already throwing up.

Episode 2092 - On this Saturday show, we play a "Best Of" featuring Bethany McKenzie. The two talk Bethany's son's diabetes diagnosis, managing type 1 diabetes, Bethany's documentary: The Diabetes Solution, empowering other parents, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/best-of-managing-type-1-diabetes-bethany-mckenzie-episode-2092 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods TYPE 1 DIABETES DIAGNOSIS Bethany has been on the podcast before. She and her family were featured in the first Fat Doc. Her son has Type 1 diabetes. The family discovered this when she came back from a trip, and her son's weight had dropped from 46 to 40 lbs. Immediately, she rushed him to the hospital and he was diagnosed. In that moment, they realized they would have to change the way they eat. The dietitian was prescribing them all kinds of sugary foods. She was told the kid needed 60g of carbs a meal, and she wanted to do anything she could to help him, so she did it. She feels her diet was healthier before this. For 3 years, Bethany followed these rules and her son felt truly terrible and unhealthy. Then, she discovered that high carb was not the way to go. MANAGING TYPE 1 DIABETES It took Bethany awhile to realize eating all of this sugar was not helping her son. He had headaches, his blood sugar was always high, and it was simply unhealthy. Bethany found low carb and it has, with careful control, worked wonders for her son and for her family. When her son was 8, her doctor was so incredulous and said her son wouldn't grow right and would have an eating disorder. It was clear he just didn't understand. Her son was eating veggies and good protein and the like. She could see what the food was doing to her son's blood sugar, and it was clear that this diet was helping keeping it under control. This has given their family so much life and joy. Her son is healthy, smart, a stellar athlete, and has a fantastic relationship with food and with his parents. THE DIABETES SOLUTION Doctors aren't curious as to what their type 1 patients are eating. They don't even ask. Bethany has been so frustrated by the medical community's treatment of type 1. She created her own documentary which will be released on November 9th. Pre-order on Amazon now! Find it elsewhere, too: The Diabetes Solution | A Documentary by Bethany McKenzie, Founder of Let Me Be 83 - Passion River EDU http://edu.passionriver.com/the-diabetes-solution.html Fortunately, the tide is turning and more parents are recognizing the help that a good diet can bring.

Episode 2091 - On this Friday show, Dr. Shawn Baker joins Vinnie for another appearance and the two talk benefits of the carnivore diet, shredded bodies and lifting, rowing, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/benefits-of-the-carnivore-diet-dr-shawn-baker-episode-2091 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli DR. SHAWN BAKER Dr. Baker has been on the show before. He feels that he has been shadow banned on social media because of his views. It seems they prefer the vegan view. But he's incredibly healthy and his been carnivore for some time. It's tough because all Dr. Baker does is follow the science. Your political persuasion should not matter: this is about being healthy and feeling good. He is all-in on the carnivore diet, and is also a big rower like Vinnie! THE CARNIVORE DIET Before it was coined 'carnivore,' it was mostly called the zero-carb diet. But Dr. Baker realized "carnivore" was more accessible. He did an n=1 experiment and felt so much better eating this way. Dr. Baker's diet is 99% animal products. Every once in awhile he puts life into living, but he loves steak for breakfast. This diet also helps those with autoimmune disorders -- it's a sort of healthy, sustainable elimination diet. The more he sees, the more he believes in eating carnivore. Carnivore isn't for everyone -- but for those that like it, they reap the benefits. He doesn't do the same thing every day. But he likes to have steak and eggs for breakfast and early dinner or late lunch that looks similar. Shawn shoots for highly nutritious meals that are tasty and satiating. He is 6'5" and 240 and might eat a dozen eggs and three lbs of meat in a day. Vinnie compares his body to Gronk -- except Dr. Baker's is better at 55 years old. This is certainly not the norm -- most people need way, way less. PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched this week, January 11! Order it TODAY!

Episode 2090 - On this BEST OF Wednesday show from May 2021, Dr. Bret Scher and Vinnie talk learning from your clients, nutritional advice, properly interpreting cholesterol numbers, the sugar and grain industries, lifestyle-based intervention, the Diet Doctor, your body's use of fat, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/lifestyle-based-intervention-dr-bret-scher-episode-2090 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods DR. BRET SCHER Dr. Scher has been on the show before. Like Vinnie, he has a podcast and does consults. He is an excellent cardiologist. There are methods that will help a majority of people, but you tinker those methods to the individual. This is what makes consults so rewarding and keeps Dr. Scher and Vinnie learning. Some doctors stick to conventional wisdom; others want to be on the cutting edge. Doctors who see it the latter way, like they have to keep learning and improving, are usually the better doctors. Like for trainers, doctors receive very little nutritional training. Though doctors don't usually deal with bro science! INTERPRETING CHOLESTEROL NUMBERS In the 70s, we looked at a cholesterol number as a whole. This is because we didn't have the technology. Now, if doctors do that, it is a complete cop-out. We have so much more information. Do NOT feel satisfied by your doctor's interpretation of the whole number. Look at HDL, look at trigs, look at LDL, look at the LDL break down. LIFESTYLE-BASED INTERVENTION Guidelines are highly oriented to prescribing medication. Doctors get paid more money to do things quicker, even if medicine is involved. This is why doctors will just prescribe rather than go to lifestyle. Try to find a doctor willing to focus on intervention that is lifestyle-based. Doctors who avoid extremism are usually the ones to trust. PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched on January 11, 2022! Order it TODAY!

They know they haven't gotten it right. One of them is called tagatose. They're saying this is going to be okay for diabetics -- this seems oxymoronic. It's similar to sucrose, and side effects are very similar to things like erythritol. This doesn't seem healthy at all. The article also says consumption of more than 30 g (which is something like one coke), will cause gastric disturbance. Clearly, this can't be good. The sugars don't even work well and they're investing billions into it. This makes both Anna and Vinnie sad -- they just want people to know the truth and not buy in.

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/misleading-bmi-episode-2088 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods MISLEADING BMI Body mass index is generally a pretty inaccurate measure. The calipers don't really work. And often, the information can just be misleading. Those who are muscly might have a higher BMI. Vinnie has seen so many silly BMIs because of this. And just because you have a lower BMI does not necessarily mean you are healthy. Gina was told she was very overweight based upon her BMI. She felt dejected and terrible.

Often he'll do "no life into living" years, which means he does not eat anything that isn't NSNG®. This year, Vinnie committed to do an hour of aerobics each day. He's front loaded a lot because he has a surgery coming up and such. Another goal was creating his boat with his own hands! KAYAKING Mark is a big kayaker and rower! He does longer trips, too.

Episode 2086 - On this Friday show, Nina Teicholz joins Vinnie for another appearance on the podcast, and the two talk shadow banning, how health shouldn't be political, following the science, obstacles in changing the way you eat, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/health-shouldnt-be-political-episode-2086 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli SHADOW BANNING This is not a good thing. Vinnie believes he and others like him have been the subject of shadow banning on social media. Shadow banning is bad for democracy and doesn't help depolarization of this country. When folks got along and could be respectful, things were better. HEALTH SHOULDN'T BE POLITICAL Health has been politicized. This shouldn't be the case. Meat was demonized, and those who ate meat didn't care for the environment. But the science doesn't support these positions. Politicizing it means that we don't really hear or engage with the science. We see this in things like meatless Mondays and vegan Fridays. Encouraging children to go vegan while the science shows that this is not the way to eat for healthy growth and development isn't right. And for many children, school is where they get their biggest meals. Studies have shown that children who eat meat do better. In Belgium, you can go to jail for feeding your child a vegan diet because it is not good for them. There, the science talks. Nina wrote a great op-ed on this.

Mostly these are 5ks and 10ks. They come in varying difficulties. They do longer races, too, but Leona has stuck with the 5ks. Two of the races have had super versatile terrains. You have lots of obstacles along the way, including rope climbs and the like. Some are water obstacles, too. There's also a spear throw! She doesn't get a ton of time to train -- she's inconsistent with it. People really support each other and it's a ton of fun. Set a goal and train for one! JUMPING INTO NSNG® Someone recently wrote to Anna asking whether she should commit to this lifestyle now. She has had hormonal imbalance in the past and hasn't been able to lose weight. But her life is crazy right now -- her husband had cardiac failure and had surgery several weeks ago. Heart health comes up a lot on Vinnie and Anna recommend jumping full-in. The sooner you can start eating healthily, the better. If you're already doing it, continue to do it so as not to mess with your hormones. This lifestyle has helped Anna and her homeostasis.

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/paying-attention-in-school-episode-2083 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods CRUSHES As a freshman, you might have a crush on a senior. You're in completely different stages! You'd blush if they even looked at you. The dances were all silly, too. Boys were too shy to ask girls to dance, and girls wouldn't do it either. PAYING ATTENTION Anna sometimes struggled to pay attention in school. She'd get the urge to fall asleep. And she figured out ways around this to do well, but it was harder. She really feels she would have been able to pay better attention had she eaten better. But instead she ate junk and crashed after lunch. Eating well also likely would have helped her skin.

Eating right has numerous benefits. Check out her website for many Has many LCHF resources on her site. Since the publish of the new book, the critics have gotten angrier. It does not serve their interests for the truth about nutrition to come out. They are conspiracists. TIMOTHY NOAKES TRIAL Dr. Noakes is a doctor in South Africa. He was facing trial because he prescribed LCHF diet for a breastfeeding mother on Twitter. Sugar and grain industry use their influence to strike again. He was found NOT GUILTY of professional misconduct, thank goodness. However, the fact that he even faced trial for years is ridiculous. Noakes was just trying to show that the popular held believe (low fat, lots of carbs) is BS. Prosecution and persecution for his views on nutrition.

Episode 2081 - On this Friday show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie again in a continuation of last week's show to talk more NSNG® basics, including Ultra Fat nut butters, necessary macros, paradigm shifts, the 411 on various vegetables, starches, and flours, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/nsng-basics-episode-2081 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli NECESSARY MACROS We have a certain number of sugar in our bodies to maintain homeostasis. This is about 1 tsp. You do not need to eat more sugar to get this. Your body can do it through gluconeogenesis -- turning protein into sugar. Your body only really needs two macros: fat and protein. Brains prefer to run on fat! Plenty of people do ultra events without taking in any sugar. Some will fast, some will just eat fat. NSNG® BASICS This way of eating is cutting out sugars and grains (and things that your body treats as such, like starches). It's not cutting out everything like vegetables. Some people do carnivore, but that's not strictly what NSNG® is. The best vegetables are broccoli, cauliflower and brussel sprouts. Eat nuts in moderation -- but raw nuts like almonds or cashews. If you're eating real food, you don't need to count your macros. Nothing happens overnight here -- it's a paradigm shift. Avoid tapioca, cassava, etc., flours. Look at the ingredients. You'll be surprised with what you find in your 'healthy' foods. Don't rely too much on the store-bought stuff. Just because it says 'keto' doesn't mean it is low-carb of NSNG®.

Episode 2079 - On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk taco bowls reicpes, the importance of spice, how statins aren't a cure, finding thorough medical care, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/statins-arent-a-cure-episode-2079 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli TACO BOWLS Check out the video of this podcast on Youtube. You can watch Anna make a taco bowl. She's using the whole hour, but really it only takes 15-20 minutes to make. Don't drain the liquid off of your meat. Get all that good fat! 75/25 grassfed ground beef is the way to go. Taco bowls/salads are a great, easy and flavorful meal. Vinnie likes them in the morning, too. Anna makes her own salsa for these bowls. And her own taco seasoning! Spices will keep your meals interesting. She starts with olive oil to cook her veggies -- if she's just doing the meat, she won't add oil first. Radishes can give you some crunch. STATINS AREN'T A CURE Vinnie would suggest trying to find a doctor who will help you avoid statins. There is so much misinformation about cholesterol numbers out there and what constitutes healthy cholesterol numbers. You need cholesterol, and having a high number isn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact, your brain needs cholesterol to function -- or it will make more! If you really wanna figure out if your cholesterol is good, 'total cholesterol' is not the number to look at. A good ratio is very important! Doctors then push statins on people without looking further into their numbers. They're even prescribing them prophylactically. Even great doctors do this, they're just following the charts. Statins might keep your cholesterol artificially in a 'good' range, but it's a bandaid -- not a cure.

Episode 2076 - On this Friday show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie and the the two go back to basics: they discuss starting out with NSNG®, how all of this works hormonally, common pitfalls, what to focus on and how to succeed, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/starting-out-with-nsng-episode-2076 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli STARTING OUT WITH NSNG® Some people who begin this lifestyle need to lose 10-20 lbs. Others need to lose well over 100. Avoiding sugars and grains works for both kinds of people. The information out there might be confusing, but here it is simple: if you're metabolically broken, let's fix that by strictly avoiding sugars and grains and things that your body interprets as sugars and grains. For those with less to lose, you still benefit. Ultimately, this lifestyle is about improving your overall physical and mental health. Check out the PDF at vinnietortorich.com. This is a great place to start. Follow it for a T for at least 30-60 days. Start with only eating high fat and protein. Anna and Vinnie also describe the difference between NSNG®, keto, paleo, LCHF, Atkins, carnivore, and more. They talk common pitfalls -- avoid things like potatoes, too much cauliflower, cassava flours, seed oils, stevia, other 'natural' and artificial sweeteners, and more. When you begin, stop looking for substitutes for carby things you used to eat. A lot of this is breaking addiction and/or dependence.

Episode 2075 : On this Wednesday's show Andy Schreiber and Vinnie Tortorich talk packaged keto food ingredients, grocery store "real estate," and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/packaged-keto-food-ingredients-more-episode-2075/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods KETO INGREDIENTS • The show opens up with Vinnie frustrated by a common theme in recent consults. People have been telling him that they have started buying packaged "keto foods" yet can't figure out why their success has waned. • Ingredients like arrowroot and cassava flours, potato and tapioca starches, konjac, and others are not grains, but are often used in "keto" processed foods. They are all starches, which behave in your body like sugar. Vinnie says stay away from them. • Similar issues are happening with other natural sugars like molasses, agave nectar, honey, and others—the body treats all sugars the same. • Many of the "keto health foods" at ExpoWest are filled with these types of ingredients and are therefore *not* NSNG. GROCERY STORE REAL ESTATE • Food manufacturers buy up "real estate" in grocery stores for specific placement to encourage more sales. It's all planned and part of marketing and sales. • Vinnie and Andy discuss a few previous advertising campaigns about food, and also the strategy of packaging and placement in stores. • The best way to shop for food at the grocery store is to stay along the outer aisles, as that's where items like fresh produce and dairy are usually placed.

Episode 2074 - On this Monday episode, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk feeling sick, calculating your Zone 2 heart rate, Nautilus machines, Vinnie's guest appearance on Mike Rowe's podcast "The Way I Heard It," and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/calculating-zone-2-heart-rate-more-episode-2074 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods ZONE 2 HEART RATE Vinnie recommends Zone 2 exercise. It is best for weight loss, and is also excellent for cardiovascular and general health. How do you figure out what heart rate you should aim for? Take 180 and subtract your age. But, add or subtract depending upon your fitness. If you aren't fit, subtract five from the number above. If you're quite fit, add five. That is the heart rate you should stay around to remain in Zone 2. You'll notice over time that you're getting more and more fit, and you'll burn fat and strengthen your heart. It's okay if you need to start really, reallllyyy slow to stay in Zone 2 when you start out. NAUTILUS MACHINES The Nautilus concept is as the angle gets smaller, the weight sets in. Vinnie describes very generally how to properly use these machines if you have them. Don Coddington will do one set to failure on all of the machines. Some people believe in going to failure -- this idea is in part what gave Nautilus its start. PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched on January 11! Order it TODAY!

Episode 2071 - It is with heavy hearts we share that Dr. Hallberg recently passed away after a valiant battle with cancer. On this Best Of, we celebrate the life of Dr. Sarah Hallberg and play her appearance on the podcast in 2018. On this show, she and Vinnie discuss the Aspen Institute, LCHF health, reversing type 2 diabetes, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/remembering-dr-sarah-hallberg-episode-2071 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club Villa Cappelli REMEMBERING DR. SARAH HALLBERG Sarah was a wonderful doctor. She was a medical director at Virta Health. Also director and founder of program at IU: "Arnett Health Medical Weight Loss Program." Check out Sarah's awesome Ted Talk here: Reversing Type 2 Diabetes Starts with Ignoring the Guidelines Sarah was been chosen to be a Aspen Institute Health Innovator Fellow Leaders worldwide, in all different fields. She remains among some amazing company. 19 of the most innovative and fantastic people in health care. She is the only in low-carb. Specialized in Type 2 Diabetes. She and Nina also worked together. Sarah also published amazing research papers. She studied of hundreds of patients. LCHF HEALTH LCHF = Low Carb High Fat. More and more studies show that fat and heart disease are not directly correlated. Sarah's own research (and her study of others' research) has shown that people on LCHF diets have better cardiac and metabolic health. LCHF can also save folks money by getting them off various medications. Sarah and her family were also LCHF. There is so much misrepresentation out there about how we should eat. LCHF is a growing community. In Sarah's study, they looked at people on insulin. 94% of her patients who went LCHF had decreases in insulin they took. Each person in the study got their own health coach. Can make the difference to have that support and encouragement. Sarah could make safe medication adjustments this way as well. New paper shows results after a year of strict LCHF for type 2 diabetes patients. The results have been absolutely amazing.

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/03/the-oscars-incident-decorum-episode-2070 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods THE OSCARS INCIDENT Vinnie's favorite movie of the year was "King Richard." He doesn't watch the Oscars, but he's seen clips and memes of the incident between Will Smith and Chris Rock. It is in part so crazy because Will Smith is such a prolific actor. This violent response makes you wonder -- what is going on with him, and what happened to decorum? There's also concern about precedent -- comedians often cross lines and we can't try to censor them. There were infinitely better ways Will Smith could have handled this. His acceptance speech also seemed pretty crazy. "Love makes you do crazy things" is no excuse for violence. Ever. And while his apologies were a step in the right direction, he did not apologize to Chris Rock. That said, this was a bad joke. But these people are role models, and Will Smith must do better.

MISINFORMED DIETITIANS Anna found an article written by a registered dietitian discussing 'good carbs for cholesterol.' Yet, at the same time the article seems to acknowledge sugar and grains are not good for us. But it totally ignores the importance of cholesterol for our brain and body health as well as the importance of knowing the breakdown of your cholesterol number. If you need to eat healthy carbs, that should be veggies. Not junk. Many dietitians don't seem to know a thing about nutrition.

Episode 2066 - On this Friday show, Dr. Angela Stanton joins Vinnie Tortorich to discuss her work in neuroeconomics, learning about finance, treating and preventing migraines, sodium levels, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/03/treating-preventing-migraines-dr-angela-stanton-episode-2066 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli NEUROECONOMICS Dr. Angela has a PhD in economics. But her dissertation was on pure neuroscience. She is a neuroeconomist. This means she runs neuroscience experiments and actual clinical trials. When she looks at the outcome, she looks through financial models. FINANCIAL SUCCESS Don't focus too much on the books. The market is what you make it. It isn't what people you it is. Dr. Stanton focused on the market for a long time and did well doing so. She says -- who cares what other people buy? She's an investor who buys from companies she would use the products of and companies she trusts. Tesla was one of these. PREVENTING MIGRAINES Much of Dr. Stanton's work focuses on migraines. A migrainer has more neurons associated with sensory neurons. This explains sensitivity to light, for example. Reducing sodium is a problem -- having a satisfactory sodium level is important for brain health, especially for those with migraines. Additionally, when you eat glucose, the glucose removes sodium from your cells. Eating a high glucose diet creates a friction that contributes to migraines. If you take carbs out of your diet, you can see the effects if you suffer from migraines -- assuming you get enough sodium. Many feel that when they eat carbs, they feel 'dried out.' Eating salt and taking electrolytes is very important, too.

He's 81 and doesn't eat very well. The doctor suggested he cut out sweets and carbs. So, he's cut down -- but not cut out. For example, he's sharing his fries instead of having his own. This is a good place to start. Anna told him to get his A1C tested again in 6 months and he agreed. If it's still a problem, she'll try to suggest he cut out these things completely! KEEPING CANCER AWAY A person Anna and Vinnie know battled cancer. Now, he's keeping it away with a low carb diet. He was a guy who could eat anything without gaining weight -- but he really wants to make sure he doesn't feed cancer. Folks who look healthy still can have serious, diet-related health issues.

Vinnie eats things like broccoli, still. He doesn't want people to stop eating veggies. But they are a side dish (or meat-jewelry, as Vinnie calls them), not the whole meal.

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/03/braving-the-elements-episode-2062 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods BRAVING THE ELEMENTS Anne and her husband moved to Minnesota during COVID. Her dog loves the water -- even when it's cold. She went tubing down the river, her dog jumped into the water and began to drown, and she jumped off of the tube into the freezing water and saved him. This was a life-threatening situation, but it was exhilarating. Then, she began swimming in that water every day. It's normally between 40 and 50 degrees, and colder in the winter. Over time, she's tried to stay in the water longer and longer, but she listens to her body when she does. She usually stays under between one and three minutes. Anne wants it to be somewhat challenging, which is why she does more than just take cold showers! The ice has cut her before, but she tries to be as careful as she can. Vinnie might try something like this in his pool, to start. TRYING TO BE HEALTHY Anne had tried to be healthy her entire life. Then she heard Fitness Confidential. She realized calorie and fat restriction was not the way to go. Generally, she was always fairly healthy. But she got bad advice still. This way of eating has changed her life. She hasn't had a migraine since switching her diet. Anne feels there's a connection. Anne tries to keep inflammation down, especially in light of her Crohn's disease.

Episode 2061 - On this Friday show, Dr. Sean O'Mara joins Vinnie Tortorich and the two discuss his research, discussing obesity, fighting chronic disease, cutting out processed foods, types of fat, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/03/discussing-obesity-dr-sean-omara-episode-2061 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli DR. SEAN O'MARA Dr. O'Mara is a doctor, and also attended Villanova for his JD! He attended Temple for med school. He focuses on the optimization of health. We can optimize people to a new level. This isn't anything he considered as a doctor initially. Dr. O'Mara had severe disease himself, until he realized how his diet and lifestyle could affect his health. Now, he is all about how we can make ourselves the best, healthiest, and fittest versions of ourselves. Much chronic disease can be eliminated with diet and lifestyle. Cutting out processed foods was the most important thing for him. Check out his website here. https://www.drseanomara.com/about DISCUSSING OBESITY Dr. O'Mara believes in body positivity, as does Vinnie. Fat shaming does not help anything. However, both feel discussing the health implications of obesity are very important. Most with obesity suffer from other diseases. With obesity often comes other health conditions. Thus, it's important to discuss the health implications of obesity and how we can combat those. PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched this week, January 11! Order it TODAY!

Episode 2060 - On this Wednesday show, Andy Schreiber and Vinnie Tortorich talk Expo West, unhealthy 'natural' products, 'reinvented and reimagined' foods, Unmeat, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/03/unhealthy-natural-products-episode-2060 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods UNHEALTHY 'NATURAL' PRODUCTS Vinnie and Andy attended Expo West. Every product was 'reinvented and reimagined.' There were hundreds and hundreds of tables. Vinnie and Andy were in the 'hot products' section. The other products that Vinnie and Andy saw were far and away not 'all natural' like they claimed. Very few had as few ingredients as PVC, PCC, and NSNG® Foods's food. The other products that were really 'all natural' were things like pie and popcorn. But, this is of course all sugar and all grains. There was a good charcuterie place! They sold a lot of great meat. And some good coffee, too. Lots of jerky places had sugar and other crap in the meat. Vinnie saw a booth selling 'fasting bar,' which is a contradiction. There were tons of things like this. Lots of brands with names like 'nonmeat,' 'unmeat,' 'meatless,' etc. Unmeat really struck Andy! "Fish free, tuna-style flakes in sunflower oil."

Episode 2059 - On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk cigarettes and TV ads, cholesterol misinformation, drug lies, crazy side effects, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/03/tv-ads-drug-lies-episode-2059 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods TV ADS Sometimes Vinnie's Hulu movies have ads. This is really the only time he gets to see TV ads. Vinnie thinks of cigarette ads in the 20th century. Doctors were smoking. Nowadays, they can't actually drink in beer ads and everything comes with a warning. But it's not all good news. They would say in these ads that smoking 'makes the air softer.' They'd even show women with black eyes in the ads. But now, we see lots of ads for drugs that people do not need. CHOLESTEROL LIES Now ads largely focus on selling drugs. Vinnie plays a lipitor ad. Companies need folks to stay sick to sell more drugs. Of course, talk to your doctor. But take these ads with a grain of salt -- at best. Vinnie thinks that many of the things these drugs say they will treat may be treated better with diet -- but he is not a doctor, so consult with yours. Never forget: ads used to tell us that cigarettes were healthy. Ads don't always speak the truth. Vinnie hears misinformation about cholesterol all of the time. Doctors are spewing one thing on a commercial and another on Youtube or in the office. Vinnie would advise that you don't go to a GP for cholesterol- and heart-related questions. These drug companies also make taking the drug look attractive. The ads tell you subliminally to get on the drug ASAP. Think of the Jardiance ad. Vinnie and Anna look at the numbers and they show that these drugs don't often work. KETOCON 2022 Vinnie and Anna will be there this year! It takes place July 8 to July 10 in Austin, TX.

Episode 2058 - On this Sunday School, Gina Grad and Vinnie Tortorich talk Mardi Gras, creating a life you can be proud of, intermittent fasting and metabolic flexibility, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/03/creating-a-life-episode-2058 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods MARDI GRAS New Orleans during Mardi Gras is a lot of fun. Vinnie would close down his business. He knew people weren't working out in the weeks leading up to Mardi Gras and during that week, so he'd go to Cozumel. Catching coconuts was a lot of fun. As a kid, Vinnie loved the parades. Once he got to Tulane, kids were amazed by carnival, but for him it was old news! CREATING A LIFE James Reiss, who Vinnie knew, became the King Carnival. This kid lifted himself by his bootstraps and became someone. He got his stuff together in a difficult life, became a marine, and has since found success. His sister also opened the Blue Jean Bar which has since opened 12 locations and she has found success, too. Both kids have made the best for themselves despite the odds. What matters is determination and vision. PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched this week on January 11! Order it TODAY! This is Vinnie's third documentary in just over three years.
