(4:00) What's the deal with Poppi Prebiotic Soda? The company is being called out for its false claims. Why not go after more companies that make fake claims? There have been challenges to different rules for equipment and cycling. (14:00) There's always an effort to package snake oil. (18:30) Vinnie can't get behind products like these. If he thought they were good, he would make them himself. Even vitamins are being made into gummies. (19:00) When you stop eating sugary items long enough, your palate changes. Processed foods have been formulated to taste the same every time. (24:00) They discuss hunting venison and taking it to a butcher for proper dressing. (30:00) It's important to understand where your food comes from and to respect the animal.

(3:00) He is only telling the truth, so why the delay? He's realizing how much of an effect chemo has had on him. (13:00) But he knows how lucky he is compared to others who he sees struggling with cancer. He hopes to make it out to California later this year. Vinnie addresses a question regarding lifting weights and tendon strain. (22:00) Even healthy people can have tendon strain as they age. Just take a little more rest before your next workout. Taking TRT isn't necessarily beneficial in the long run. It has been what he has noticed with clients and people in consultations. A food question about weight creep and getting back on the wagon with NSNG®. (28:30) Often it's non-NSNG® foods sneaking back in, or overconsumption of things like dairy or nuts. Other culprits are flavored "zero sugar" beverages, and seed oils. Wine is a big culprit for many people. (35:00) A lot of American wines have added sugar. Alcohol isn't great for you anyway and will hinder your weight loss goals. Is stevia really that awful?. (42:00) There are benefits to getting away from it, the sooner the better. At the time of this recording, Vinnie's new documentary "Dirty Keto" was supposed to be released; however, it has hit a delay.

They talk about releasing a documentary and dealing with Amazon. (21:00) "The Incredible Shrinking Man" is Vinnie's name for Peter's health journey. (30:30) He eats a mostly carnivore diet with occasional vegetables. Occasional intermittent fasting has helped. He has noticed a huge difference in his energy. They talk about water weight and exercise. (42:00) Sometimes added water weight is an indication of inflammation. Fat shaming is bad, but there is a concerning level of what has become considered acceptable as "healthy." (52:00) Social media, video games, etc., have caused people to forget about the real consequences of indulging. (56:00) Things are glamorized when maybe they shouldn't be. But there is an increase of people trying things like the carnivore diet, and seeing positive results. Pay attention to what Peter is doing—some interesting projects are coming out!

(2:00) Often song lyrics will show how times don't change much. Gina shares a recent experience at a hotel and makes Vinnie explain his point of view on lettuce. (6:00) Meat on lettuce is unnecessary, as far as Vinnie is concerned. Even at high-end grocery stores, premium items can still be filled with bad ingredients. Vinnie had to ask his doctor about taking an iron supplement; the doctor's response surprised him. (12:30) Doctors are very busy and you need to be proactive in your health. It may be that Vinnie's overall health is so good, it appears his doctors may need to monitor him less. Back to Vinnie's "lettuce rules." (26:00) What about smoked salmon on a salad? What about a salad as an appetizer? Vinnie never likes to feel stuffed or gluttonous, which leads to the duo philosophizing on some biblical rules. (30:00) There have been delays in Amazon posting "Dirty Keto"; as a result, Vinnie is considering other distributors.

(2:00) Vinnie updates her on some of his challenges during treatment and how he had to advocate for himself. Michelle gives her and her wife, Corene's story. (9:00) An unexpected diagnosis turned their world upside down. They at least knew what to do nutritionally: the ketogenic diet. The American Cancer Society contradicted itself in its own statement. (12:00) Michelle and her wife saw over 32 medical professionals about the cancer diagnosis, and only one made a suggestion about nutrition, and it was incorrect advice. (15:30) She shares why a ketogenic diet is beneficial and what kind of changes they made in nutrition. Being in ketosis and paying attention to nutriton can help give you a fighting chance. The ketogenic diet isn't a cure, but it can significantly improve the outcome of many cancers. (23:00) What did Michelle do for research? (27:00) She understood cancer is a metabolic disease. They discuss how a vegan diet may make it hard to get enough nutrition. Michelle's wife needed much fewer radiation sessions than doctors predicted. Six months later Corene is in remission.

(2:30) What she found out was a symptom of metabolic problems. Dr. Shanahan was one of the early voices who emphasized the toxicity of seed oils. (6:00) She explains how she started paying attention to seed oils. Her background in biochemical engineering transitioned to medical school; however, her personal medical issues led her to a deep dive into health. Her book "Dark Calories" is available in Vinnie's Book Club here. She explains the meaning behind the name. (13:00) Metabolic disease is rampant. Being "hangry" is a sign of insulin resistance, which is a stage of metabolic disease. New standards of testing need to happen; she's a big believer in using the HOMA-IR testing. They discuss oxidative stress and seed oils and how they are included in many things. (20:00) She defines what she has named as "The Hateful 8." It's a similar effect of oxidation as cigarette smoking. Vinnie asks her about her list called the "Delightful Dozen." (27:00) She hopes to get more doctors on board in expanding the message regarding various oils and the effects of oxidative stress. (35:00) Free radical particles are caused by oxidative stress; vegetable oils are "oxidative stress in a bottle." (42:30) Empty calories from processed foods and sugars can cause them too. She also challenges the use of protein powders. (46:00) Respecting Nature and how it works is important; trying to "outsmart" nature is a dead-end game. (54:00) The energy model of insulin resistance has to do with your body not being able to use its body fat as fuel. (56:00) Her book "Dark Calories" provides information that can help you reduce cravings while you heal from insulin resistance. (57:00) Working Against Nature Vinnie asks Cate how can people do better. (59:00) She provides several practical food suggestions. "Root cause" knowledge will help you. They pivot to cholesterol. (1:04:00) Cholesterol is a nutrient—it is a building block of cells and hormones. The egg is the most complete package of nutrients you can get. There are plenty of untruths in the "Game Changers" film; they elaborate. (1:06:00) You need to know what is both good and bad about the medical system. The conversation on nutrition is the American College on Lifestyle Medicine, which is a Seventh-Day Adventist group promoting their religious stance on eating and lifestyle. (1:10:00) Vinnie asks Cate's take on GLP-1s. (1:14:00) She is against them for many reasons; the first one is that those drugs are working against Nature. Acute muscle loss is happening to patients on drugs like Ozempic; remember your heart is a muscle. She lists other concerns she has about them. There's a new NSNG® Foods promo code you can use!

Episode 2492 - BEST OF: On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dr. Paul Kolodzik about testing metabolism with CGMs and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/05/testing-metabolism-kolodzik-epsiode-2492 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN You can watch this episode on Vinnie's Fitness Confidential YOUTUBE channel -https://youtu.be/ioG0zXHppaA TESTING METABOLISM Vinnie shared a recent Instagram post he posted about 3 things not to have for breakfast and received a lot of backlash about it. (2:00) They talk about the problem with oatmeal. Any proteins from oatmeal or similar are insignificant compared to animal protein. Dr. Paul Kolodzik MD shares what his concerns are as an Emergency Response doctor, and it's primarily metabolic health. (8:45) Television news covers more traumatic things like gunshot wounds, overdoses, etc. Most of what he sees every day is because of vascular disease, obesity, or other metabolic issues. They discuss some of the complications of COVID due to metabolic issues. (11:45) They discuss the issue of CPAP machines and the increase in usage. (17:00) This moves to a discussion on cholesterol and current medical care–it's more like "disease maintenance". Most of the time, treatment is just doctors trying to do what they are told they need to. BENEFITS OF CGM TESTING Paul is working similarly to a concierge model of health so he can give complete and proper care to patients. (24:00) He has licenses in Ohio, Indiana, Arizona, and Florida, and plans to expand. You can find him at www.metabolicmds.com. Paul and his team are advocates of utilizing a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) to help people reach their health goals. (29:00) It gives immediate feedback so clients can see how different foods affect them—they are fantastic tools. Vinnie equates the ability to view the results similar to reading a tachometer—it's like a human RPM gauge. CGMs aren't necessarily needed long term. Testing metabolism is a positive step for an investment toward your health. Once you know, you have to make a change. They discuss being "metabolically broken" and exactly what that means. (35:30) They discuss the "dawn effect" as well as how the hormones leptin and ghrelin work. Vinnie and Paul talk about the benefits of strength training and how it affects metabolism. (48:00) Paul has a book out called "The Continuous Glucose Monitor Revolution" and you can find it in Vinnie's Book Club. https://amzn.to/3WOirfa [the_ad id="20253"] PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE (2022) The documentary launched on January 11!

Episode 2480 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Zöe Harcombe and they discuss calling out researchers for skewing the numbers for breast cancer screening, HPV, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/04/skewing-the-numbers-dr-zoe-harcombe-episode-2480 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Skewing the Numbers Dr. Harcome addresses health and wellness claims and debunks them when necessary. (3:00) One of the more recent articles was centered around red meat causing T2 diabetes. Another article claims intermittent fasting will cause cardiac death. (4:15) She shares a recent experience at a conference and addresses intermittent fasting. (7:00) She points out the details and explains how information was gathered. The headline is based on 31 people; however, the starting numbers of the study were significantly higher. This means that the entire study only used 1.5% of the information gathered. The report is then based on skewing the numbers. The next headline has to do with breast cancer screening. (27:00) There are very specific instances where highly extensive treatment may not have been necessary for some women. (33:00) The problem with this is that chemotherapy is toxic as well. Things like having the BRCA1 gene are not included in this, and shouldn't be; that is a different circumstance. HPV discussion: What is the current information about HPV? (39:00) Back to the breast cancer screening, Dr. Harcombe shares more information. (45:00) She shares how she personally approaches screening. They chat a bit about Princess Kate of the British Royal family and her recent hospital stay. (55:00) Belly Reduction Dr. Harcombe touches on a report about kimchi. (1:00:00 ) The claim says it can reduce "beer belly," but the standards of obesity are much different in Korea than they are in the West. A "beer belly" in Korea is a 32" waist. You also need to see who funds the studies—as usual, follow the money. Also, places like Harvard push an agenda; funding doesn't happen unless your study follows the agenda. (1:05:00) The system creates the narrative. (1:06:00) Dr. Harcombe shares what it takes to get research published; it's difficult, especially since her studies tend to go against the narrative.

Anna reads about how metabolism affects aging muscles. (29:00) There is no shortcut—proper nutrition and exercise are the best ways to combat sarcopenia. The study was done by the makers of Nescafé. Even though Vinnie has his own coffee company, he's curious about certain aspects of the claims. Vinnie has had to address overtraining in recent consultations. (44:00) Some folks struggle with the idea of breaking a streak and not being able to start again.

Episode 2471 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Nadir Ali and they discuss a variety of upsides and downsides of GLP-1, autophagy, bineging, seed oils, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/04/upsides-downsides-with-dr-nadir-ali-epsidoe-2471 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Upsides and Downsides Dr. Nadir Ali has been keeping a streak of riding his bike to work. (3:30) He sees benefits through managing food addiction with streaks. (7:00) They discuss overdoing exercise, with no rest. Some people have a fear of not getting back into it if they miss a day. Dr Nadir has a general rule that streaks can be beneficial as long as its not at the detriment of something else. Vinnie asks Nadir's opinion about Allulose & GLP-1 agonists. (13:00) Naidir has a lot of clinical experience, so he sees things on a day-to-day basis. Yes, there are benefits for some people, but there are a lot of downsides, too. Vinnie challenges some aspects of using a GLP-1. (24:00) Nadir agrees that it's only effective if a person does low-carb and intermittent fasting, (which is something Vinnie recommends without having to use the drug anyway.) (28:00) Additional Concerns There are upsides and downsides at certain levels of autophagy. (31:00) Too long of an extended fast can affect muscles. Vinnie asks Nadir about a low-carb, high fat being effective for weight loss and other metabolic issues. (36:00) There are instances where it may not be quite as effective. Are seed oils a detriment to health? They become a part of your cell membranes and do damage. (43:00) He gives an example of how it affects the retina. One single benefit you can do is to get seed oils out of your diet. Seed oils are ubiquitous in restaurants and included in most packaged foods. Binge eating - what can people do to help themselves? (53:00) Nadir has been looking into the pleasure centers of the brain in order to understand binge eating. Dopamine is the driver for the craving or behavior—but it doesn't really have much to do with the pleasure. In fact, as dopamine goes up, pleasure can actually decrease.

Dr. Ben Bikman doesn't think GLP-1 is a good idea; he has been studying GLP-1 since they were first being researched. You can listen to that episode (#2405) through Vinnie's website and on YouTube. Gina asks about chewing gum as an appetite suppressant. (15:30) Vinnie recommends not listening to that source of information and gives his reasons. It includes a little science from NASA, which will give you something to chew on. Gina suggests a product (no affiliation to Costco or the product). Pre-cooked grass-fed tri-tip is a good shortcut, as long as it doesn't have junk ingredients. She doesn't want to be caught without something quick to make so she isn't tempted to grab drive-thru junk food. Gina has a new Instagram @myextrafamily and a new website, https://myextraseries.com.

He shares a story about "taking out the trash;" it's a story of accountability. (18:00) They discuss mindset, what defines greatness, and the idea of getting past the idea of failure. (20:00) This reminds Vinnie of a documentary about Phil Health, a multiple Mr. Olympia winner, called "Breaking Olympia." (25:00) Vinnie talks about the documentary; as successful as Phil had been, he still doubted himself. Be aware of what you see on social media—you never truly know what people are going through. For those who struggle with emotional components around eating, do a deep dive and reassess what changes you need to make to get back on track.

(2:00) Vinnie has been in remission and avoided chemo for 17 years by leading a ketogenic lifestyle. There are all kinds of side effects from chemotherapy, even though it can save people. There have been several theories of disease. (8:00) NCI states that cancer is a genetic disease of dysregulated cell growth, called the somatic mutation theory. Research has shown that damage to organelles causes mutations in cells. The treatment of cancer as a metabolic disease also allows people to participate in the management of their disorder. He explains the importance of oxygen and energy and how it affects the cells. (11:00) This is known as the mitochondrial metabolic theory of cancer. Dr. Seyfried explains some highly interesting experiments and theories. (14:00) Once there is an agreement on the mitochondria metabolic theory, treatment for cancers could be much less toxic and more manageable. (17:00) Cancer and lifestyle have been studied extensively. The idea is to reduce or eliminate the cancer through diet and medication that target the fermentation metabolism. They discuss glutamine and its uses in the body. (22:30) The Glucose Ketone Index What kind of diet and supplementation can help those who may have cancer? (27:30) The Glucose Ketone Index (GKI) calculator and how it works is explained. How the GKI happens can vary per person, but if you can keep the GKI measurement at 2.0 mmol or below, you can put pressure on the tumor cells. (29:00) Each person is their own experiment. Vinnie asks Dr. Seyfried to explain ketone measurements and monitors. (32:30) He explains some of the factors in various genes and what they mean, like in BRCA in women. There may be more options rather than getting radical surgery. They discuss the frustration of some doctor's approaches to other diseases. (40:00) Type 2 diabetes has replaced smoking as the number one risk factor for cancer! (43:15) They discuss the challenges of today's diet and lifestyle. (46:00) Low-cost and convenience foods are taking their toll on society's health. Give people the opportunity to make their own choices. Many doctors need to be re-educated, and people need to know all their options. (50:30) Processed food and glucose are a highly addictive force on the brain.

The poster is a general infographic about sugar, but it also tells approximately how much sugar you "should" have. The amount suggested is low, but approximately what is found in a can of soda. The poster is sponsored in part by Coca-Cola. So the underlying message appears to be, that you can lower sugar, but still have room for soda. It's not unlike Barilla Pasta sponsoring a study that says pasta is good for you. It appears that the inmates are running the asylum. You can let food companies know you disapprove of their products simply by not buying them. Choose with your wallet. The ExpoWest Experience They explain what it is. (29:00) They talk about premade cookies you can buy at grocery store bakeries. (33:00) Anna shares her Expo West experience while running her Eat Happy Kitchen booth. (35:15) She's been presenting to all kinds of buyers and investors who are very interested. There was a "beanless coffee" product she tried; as a result, Vinnie explains what "Postum" is. (41:00) It is a real challenge to be able to package good food and have it be shelf-stable. (47:00) Even healthy options she found still had sugars. She had some amazing interactions overall and is looking forward to what comes of it. She knows she has amazing products and she received all kinds of positive feedback!

Episode 2465 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich welcomes author and Certified Nutrition Specialist Amy Berger and they discuss getting the right advice, stalls, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/03/getting-right-advice-amy-berger-episode-2465/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Getting the Right Advice Vinnie tries to avoid guest experts who sell programs. (2:00) He feels some of them become gimmicky to sell their program. They discuss whether their efforts to correct misinformation and encourage low-carb is getting through to the masses. (5:00) The Ketogenic diet is therapeutic for so many conditions, but snake-oil types of "influencers" and other social media platforms negatively affect the message. The negative messaging prevents people from getting accurate information. Amy and Vinnie agree that it gets discouraging, but the importance and the success stories keep them going. (11:00) They chat a bit about regenerative farming. (16:30) At what point did the information change from "eat meat" to low-fat, high-carb—like pasta? (21:00) The low-carb way of eating is good and works with how the body is meant to. (25:00) Low-carb and the ketogenic approach work in tune with the body. People who don't understand biochemical science probably shouldn't be in charge of making policy about health. (26:00) What bothers Amy the most is when medical practitioners who should know better are giving bad advice, or closing themselves off to accurate information. People have trouble getting the right advice. If you want the benefits of low-carb, you have to stay low-carb. (30:00) Amy emphasizes that there are variations that can be done depending on the individual; however, that doesn't mean eating things like junk food. (32:00) Other people must stay strictly ketogenic to treat a medical condition. Adjusting the Mindset They address the idea of food restriction. (36:00) Restriction is in the eye of the beholder; when you are satisfied with real food, it doesn't feel restricting. Amy reviews the topics of her three books. (44:00) She is working on a fourth book about thyroid health. You can find all three books in Vinnie's Book Club https://amzn.to/3x7nIUo here: End Your Carb Confusion (with Dr Eric Westman) https://amzn.to/49lpNcR, The Alzheimer's Antidote https://amzn.to/3TuUOVP, and The Stall Slayer https://amzn.to/4a026rx Vinnie asks about supplementation and thyroid health. (48:00) She reviews what may help. Many of the symptoms of hypothyroidism can be debilitating; she knows this firsthand. Depression, even apathy, can be a serious symptom.

(2:30) Many people start out feeling good on a vegan diet, but it is typically because they are cutting out processed foods.

(2:30) He feels like there are a lot of doctors saying stuff just to be controversial and get more followers. You need both anaerobic and aerobic exercise! A lower resting heart rate (low 50s) is a good goal—but it takes aerobics to get there. Lean muscle mass has everything to do with longevity. (6:30) What does "fit" Mean? (11:00) It depends on your goals and what you are prepping for. Vinnie and Anna discuss "Leg Day" options. (13:00) Vinnie has been watching "The Family Stallone" show.

(To get the full effect, you may need to refer to the episode video.) There's a question about ketosis and gluconeogenesis. (41:00) They are not the same thing. There is nothing you can eat with impunity, even protein and fats. There are many people across the internet who claim to be low-carb experts. However, they confuse the message with the constant "hacks" they recommend. If there is too much gluconeogenesis, it means protein intake is too high. (44:30) Anna shares some observations about GLP-1 and the state of ketosis. (48:00) Ketosis is nature's GLP-1! But GLP-1 (semaglutide) has horrible side effects, like slowing down how digestion works. Vinnie will always tell you the truth. Anna's upcoming Eat Happy Italian book is on the way.
