Fitness Confidential

Episode 2459 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich welcomes psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede to discuss how the proper diet is therapeutic, creates change for the better, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/03/change-for-the-better-with-georgia-ede-episode-2459 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 Sugars and Oxidative Stress More kids than ever are presenting with psychological problems. (2:00) Vinnie mentions Robyn Dobbins who openly shares how diet has improved her mental health symptoms. People are feeding their brains improperly. (4:30) There have been decades of misinformation, so treatment has been off. Everyone deserves the right information upfront rather than having to go through multiple medications. (7:00) Georgia goes through her personal history and how she stumbled onto dietary health changes. Vinnie asks her for more details on those changes. Sweeteners have a lot of side effects. (16:00) Sugar is the only addictive substance that society sanctions for children. (20:00) It is not only addictive, it is physically damaging to the brain. (24:00) It creates oxidative stress and insulin resistance. Refined flours do the same by causing a glycogen load; as a result, your insulin is up longer. (25:00) Most people are metabolically broken, so sugars and carbs are even more harmful. If your body "needs" sugar, your body will make it. Fats and protein are essential, but carbs are not. (31:00) The FDA recommends a bunch of nonsense. And now our gut health is a topic that needs to be paid attention to. Change for the Better Vinnie knows people whose adult kids are still having issues but refuse to believe that diet can help. (38:00) Georgia always uses dietary interventions first and she has found them to be the most effective for her clients (41:00) There are certain foods the brain needs. It's not just junk food that hurts, but also foods we've been told are healthy that aren't (like whole grains). Dr. Ede's book Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind addresses dietary therapy as a first step. (45:00) They discuss many different things that have been happening in the news are examples of declining mental health. (48:00) Bad mental health has become so common we think of it as totally normal. (50:00) Vinnie recently has heard about "safe rooms" at college—people are developmentally and emotionally less resilient. (53:00) Vinnie also worries about degenerative brain disease, CTE, and brain health. Vinnie asks how you get more N=1 cases on the books to demonstrate the advantages of diet and mental health. Changing your diet is change for the better. You can find Dr. Ede at https://diagnosisdiet.com. You can also find a clinician's directory on her website. Another resource is the Charlie Foundation: https://charliefoundation.org The keto diet is safe, but there is still a transition, esp if you are on medication.

Episode 2458 - On this Wednesday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Gina Grad discuss school lunches, how kids don't know to say no, hydration drinks, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/03/they-dont-know-to-say-no-episode-2458 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 They Don't Know to Say No Gina's husband is obsessed with Vinnie's UltraFats. (2:00) He uses them during all his training to fuel up, and so does Vinnie. As long as you have protein in your small intestine, your body will not catabolize muscle while doing training. (3:00) You don't need to load up on carbs. Another great use is for travel! (5:00) Gina started making her child's lunch because of all the processed foods that the school lunches contained. (9:00) Fois gras is banned in California because of the force-feeding of geese to make their livers fatty. Yet it is somehow acceptable to have school lunches be processed foods every day, which can lead to fatty liver, among other things. When a kid is hungry at school, they will eat what is in front of them, especially if it is chemically engineered to taste good. They don't know to say "no" to them! Vending machines in school became the topic of a South Park episode—about "Prime" beverage. (16:00) The episode is inappropriate for kids, but Gina wants parents to be aware of what is out there. President Bill Clinton was able to get soda out of vending machines at school. However, companies just filled them with juice and energy drinks instead. Vinnie shares a story about climbing with his nephews. (18:00) One nephew learned the hard way that maybe Vinnie was right about properly fueling your body. Gina shares the ingredients of the Prime hydration drink. (24:00) As you would guess, some of the ingredients are harmful, like cyanocobalamin. The kids are taken by the marketing. Gina has a new Instagram @myextrafamily and a new website, https://myextraseries.com. Go check out her socials--she shares some relatively recent news. Check out Gina's book My Extra Mom.

Episode 2457 - On this Monday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss how choices make your life, how belief in yourself matters, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/03/choices-make-your-life-episode-2457 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Choices Make Your Life Vinnie is excited about the upcoming episode with Georgia Ede. (3:00) Vinnie loves her and her new book sounds amazing. You can purchase it through his website link at https://vinnietortorich.com. Her research and clinical practice have seen outstanding results with dietary changes alone. Vinnie brings up a recent post by NSNG® fan Robyn Dobbins who has turned her mental health around through NSNG®. Robyn is very open about her health history in hopes of helping others. No one is saying that diet will help everyone, but it could make a difference in the life of someone you care about. Anna shares what changes she's felt by being NSNG®—she's noticed changes in her brain chemistry, too. (11:45) Her experience with her mother was an example of poor health and made an impact on her. She hopes her Eat Happy cookbooks have a positive impact. They discuss the various benefits they have experienced through their lifestyles. (14:00) There are things you can do for yourself that the medical community won't always address. (22:00) Make the change and be the example. (26:00) Your Beliefs Matter Prioritizing needs is essential--choices make your life! When you stop learning, you start dying. (30:30) Vinnie shares his cardio goals. (33:45) The importance of your choices, the time you take, and your belief in yourself cannot be emphasized enough. (40:00) Anna shares a story of how someone "a**holed" their way out of the entertainment industry due to their mindset. (50:00) Your choices and your mindset or limited beliefs matter. Everyone has to start somewhere. She shares another story about a success with her voiceover work. She had an epiphany on how her positive outlook got her important voiceover work. (57:00) Anna has an amazing crab cake recipe in her Eat Happy Too cookbook--go find it! Anna's upcoming Eat Happy Italian book is on the way.

Episode 2456 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Andrew Schooner, and they discuss providing options for health insurance, low carb lifestyle, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/03/providing-options-andrew-schoonover-episode-2456 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 PROVIDING OPTIONS How did CrowdHealth start? (2:00) Andrew shares his experience with health expenses and the Affordable Care Act. His daughter's condition was dismissed as "medically unnecessary," which was wrong Approximately 200,000 families go bankrupt yearly over medical expenses, despite having insurance. Yet the whole purpose of health insurance is to prevent your family from being in financial distress! The healthcare system is incentivized to reject claims. (12:45) Most people feel like they have no power against the huge health insurance companies. You can push back and get reimbursed, but it can take a lot of effort. Andrew has figured out how to work around the standard health insurance system, yet keep costs down. (16:00) Vinnie asks for more details about CrowdHealth. (21:30) A lot of it is based on negotiation with hospitals and community contributions. His company handles wellness checks, too—not just major issues. Andrew explains in detail the mechanics of how the system works. His goal is to provide options for members. Andrew also follows a low-carb lifestyle and wants to begin a version of CrowdHealth focused on a "ketovore" lifestyle. (52:00) There are parameters to join the "ketovore" group he is planning, but it will benefit those who join. He hopes this will incentivize people to adopt healthy behaviors. CrowdHealth will not fund GLP-1. If you are interested in learning more about CrowdHealth, go to https://joincrowdhealth.com Look for Vinnie's NSNG® VIP Community and sign up for the waitlist!

(2:00) The requirements have changed since she's last been in school. They chat about the modern-day challenges at the butcher shop. (7:00) Gina is proud to be finishing what she started, even if it's a little later in life. (12:30) She shares what made her decide to continue. (13:00) She is done with her limiting beliefs. Nina Teicholz just earned her PhD! (14:30) Her book is The Big Fat Surprise. You can find it through the link on Vinnie's website. Gina asks Vinnie about Longevity Clinics. (18:30) They are highly specialized medical clinics focused on health, wellness, and longevity, often through bio-hacking methods. Some of the things aren't based on confirmed science. Insurance doesn't typically cover it either, and they are extremely expensive. Many "fixes" that people try end up being a deal with the devil because of the long-term effects. Gina has a new Instagram @myextrafamily and a new website, https://myextraseries.com. Go check out her socials--she shares some relatively recent news. Check out Gina's book My Extra Mom.

Episode 2454 - On this Monday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss companies getting called out, leading by example, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/02/getting-called-out-episode-2454 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Reminiscing & Producing on the Fly The duo starts reminiscing about the early days of the podcast. (2:00) Anna started writing her first cookbook and learned to do her own photography. They chat about the history of "producing on the fly." They have switched to a different platform, and sound and video have improved. Vinnie has confirmed through a source that he is being shadow-banned. There's a question about the olive oil in a popular coffee chain beverage. There is a UC Davis study that lists uncut olive oils. (14:30) However, the study is several years old now; as a result, they are not sure how current the list of good olive oil brands is. Anna recommends a deep dive into various brands; any reliable producer should be transparent about their process. Clive Prosumer espresso machine is Vinnie's favorite. (Clive doesn't sponsor the show). (17:00) Getting Called Out General Mills has been called out in an article by Consumer Reports due to plastics in some of their foods. (20:00) In "Estrogeneration," Dr. Anthony Jay addresses this topic. Podcast guest Mike Keen's (ep. 2375) research around Greenland reveals plastics were found in seal poop in one of the more pristine places on Earth. (21:00) Anna is disturbed by phthalates in some of General Mills' foods—how does it get there? (23:00) Phthalates make plastics more durable; however, they are considered a "forever chemical." This means they do not leave the body. They have been associated with heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, as well as causing hormonal dysregulation. Big Food doesn't care; they do what they can get away with until called out by consumer advocates. (26:00) You end up ingesting micro-doses over time. From canned beverages to packaged foods to what containers you use—it all adds up. It's important to read the ingredients on food labels; Anna shares an example of a protein bar. (30:30) The messaging claims for meat alternatives didn't pass Vinnie's "smell test." (32:30) "Plant-based" has leveled out, as has the "keto explosion" of packaged foods. Vinnie's "Beyond Impossible" documentary explains it all. (See additional show notes for links to the documentary). Anna reads an article about a new version of Beyond Meat that is coming out. The fake meat manufacturer is trying to lure back consumers. (41:00) Lead by Example Anna hears how hard NSNG® is when others in the family are not on board. (46:30) Belief work is a thing. Only make suggestions if someone asks about your progress. Don't preach "Vinnie says" or load others up with unsolicited "you should"s. Vinnie agrees: People have to do it on their own. Please avoid preaching and never shame others. Body positivity ought to be rebranded. Loving yourself and still seeking health are not mutually exclusive. Shoutout to a few of the great success stories of NSNG®. (54:00) Anna reminds listeners about belief work and evolving: Your physical you is changing but so is your mental awareness. (58:00) They discuss Anna's upcoming Eat Happy Italian book. (47:00) You can go to: https://eathappyitalian.com—upload your receipt and get bonus content.

Episode 2453 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dave Feldman back to discuss the cholesterol conundrum with "The Oreo Test," and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/02/cholesterol-conundrum-dave-feldman-episode-2453 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 Cholesterol Conundrum Dave is an LMHR (lean mass hyperresponder) and explains what his "protocol" was. (2:30) He explains exactly how his protocol works. The cholesterol that you eat passes through you; however, the cholesterol that travels through your blood is produced by your liver. (7:00) Your body tries to keep a level of homeostasis. There are various opinions regarding cholesterol, but doctors are often required to prescribe statins. (10:00) Dave refers to Nick Norwitz and sample cholesterol levels. They discuss the term "settled science". (16:00) Scientists should always be prepared to challenge their hypotheses. (19:15) Science depends on replication to confirm. You can donate to help fund the studies: https://citizensciencefoundation.org is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, so your donation is tax-deductible. The conference Dave is presenting in Las Vegas in March this year is the Collaborative Science Conference at http://cosci.org. His current studies have been entirely grass-roots funding. Nick Norwitz's Oreo Study They launch into "the Oreo study". (30:00) Nick Norwitz compared what would happen to his cholesterol if he pitted Oreos vs Statins. This is the link to the study: https://doi.org/10.3390/metabo14010073 What was it about the Oreos that made LDL drop? How does an LMHR control the higher cholesterol? Data was gathered by Dr. Tro Kalayjian's team using some if his LMHR patients. The studies highlight the cholesterol conundrum. Vinnie asks Dave about a second study called "the Twin Study." (48:30) The finding claimed the benefits of a vegan diet, but the standards used are questionable. Dave is working on a documentary with the team that made "Fat Fiction." (53:00) There are a lot of key moments captured in it, as well as a lot of frustrating stories because of the misunderstandings around high LDL.

Episode 2452 - On this Wednesday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Gina Grad discuss the benefits of fresh air, plenty of sleep, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/02/benefits-of-fresh-air-sleep-episode-2452 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 The Benefits of Fresh Air & Sleep Gina's been walking a lot now that the heavy rain is done. (3:00) Vinnie loves shooting archery, kayaking, rowing—anything to get outdoors. There are many basic physiological reasons to get outside. (9:00) People from different regions handle things like weather and temperature differently. It's about perception and what you're willing to do. He shares a story about a friend who rowed across the Atlantic Ocean in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge (20:00) The friend explains how he trained for the race. Vinnie explains a "man on the street" series he has seen on Instagram. (23:00) The people he sees in them are all in good shape with various approaches to lifestyle. However, there is one thing in common: they all get 8 hours of sleep. In retrospect, Vinnie believes he could have given himself cancer years ago because he ran himself into the ground. He worked long hours and then trained for ultra cycling, but would only get 4-5 hours of sleep each night. Gina is so glad that the trend is now recognizing the importance of getting enough sleep. If you're not going to rest, your body will make you rest, but getting ill. Gina has a new Instagram @myextrafamily and a new website, https://myextraseries.com.

Episode 2451 - On this Monday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino review fitness crazes, NSNG® 101 exercises for mobility, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/02/nsng-101-mobility-exercises-episode-2451/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast NSNG® 101: Mobility Exercises and More It's been quite a while since Vinnie has been in the center aisles of the grocery store and tells the story of what he witnessed. (3:00) Anna is well aware of all the aisles and also knows what it costs to get products on the shelves. Big Food keeps you coming back for more and keeps your addiction to fake foods going strong. Anna recently visited her Dad and stepmom in Alabama. (10:00) People don't even realize they are addicted until they aren't (addicted). There is always difficulty in proselytizing to family and friends. Some people know better but still choose fake foods anyway. She tells of a recent sauce demo in Santa Barbara. (18:00) She met a very kind older couple who were at the store to buy all the Snapple—no, really—ALL of the Snapple. Vinnie emphasizes to stay away from non-food "foods" (19:30) Your best bet for better health is sticking to one ingredient, real, whole foods. The "ingredient list" on a steak is just steak. Fitness Crazes and Mobility Exercises The duo goes through a list of fitness crazes from over the years and reviews which ones seem effective or not. (21:00) They chat about stretch classes, yoga, barre, pilates, water aerobics, and more. Vinnie shares a cautionary tale about one type of "gym" he went to. Water aerobics is great for geriatric folks or people with joint or spine issues. Vinnie loves a good sauna. (36:00) Sweating is good for you—it gets the toxins out. Mobility exercises are great for ROM (range of motion). (39:00) Vinnie explains the differences between dynamic and static stretching. (41:00) Do not bounce on a stretched muscle! Anna asks him what some of the worst exercise crazes or gadgets he's seen in his 40 years as a trainer. (47:00) He shares stories of ineffective ab machines, rubber suits, jiggle machines, and much more. Some companies that make those gadgets don't care if they work, they just want to make a sale. They know they will sell because everyone wants "the promise." They both share stories of infomercials they worked on. (59:00) Anna is going to be doing a cooking video in the VIP community tonight! They discuss Anna's upcoming Eat Happy Italian book.

Episode 2449 - On this Wednesday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Gina Grad discuss investing time to exercise and the lesson of "pay now or pay later", and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/02/pay-now-pay-later-episode-2449 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 Pay Now or Pay Later Gina is feeling "soft and succulent" after being cooped up from all the recent California rain. (2:00) Vinnie relays a story from when he moved in CA in 1991. Vinnie recently spoke to someone whose philosophy was a bit different than his when it comes to success & money. (10:00) It's not about "luck," it's about planning and putting in the work and having patience. He relates buying a car to investing in yourself. Gina understands betting on yourself in terms of delayed gratification. (16:30) There's a social media trend about "treating yourself"--but it all centers around not really delaying gratification. Finances and health are very similar - you need to invest in yourself for the future. (20:00) They discuss country musician Toby Keith's passing away. Because Vinnie works out every day, he is ready at any time for a physical challenge--he invests the time daily. Mind Manipulation Gina reads and article about processed foods and how they are manipulated to be addicted. (25:00) "Salt Sugar Fat" by Michael Moss explains how scientists hired by Big Food help figure out "bliss points" of flavors and texture to keep you addicted. You can purchase it easily by going to Vinnie's Book Club and buying here. Don't believe it? Eat a 16 oz. steak compared to a 16 oz. bag of Doritos and see which one satisfies you and keeps you full. Your body keeps releasing insulin to cover all the food you eat, especially carbs. (28:00) He explains ghrelin, leptin, and insulin with an example about beer. Food addiction is tough because your body needs food as fuel to survive. Vegetables naturally have carbs, so you don't need pasta, bread, etc. (32:00) Vinnie's been enjoying eating fish all week.(33:00) They talk about steak and finding deals. Gina has a new Instagram @myextrafamily and a new website, https://myextraseries.com. Go check out her socials--she shares some relatively recent news. Check out Gina's book My Extra Mom.

Episode 2448 - On this Monday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino review NSNG® 101 with cardio training for your general health, the benefits of Zone 2 training, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/02/nsng-101-cardio-training-episode-2448 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast NSNG® 101: Cardio Training Vinnie and Anna have another episode chock full of great information! Grab your pen and paper and take notes if you can! You may need to listen to this one a couple of times! A little chat about the movie "Vision Quest" leads into the topic for today: cardio training. (2:00) The show got a compliment the other day. (5:00) Vinnie is providing as many tools as he can, especially in the VIP group. Anna will be doing a cooking demo in the group soon. Aerobics or Cardio training is your friend. (7:45) Vinnie explains his approach to cardio goals. (10:00) Anna asks Vinnie about his longer hikes and what he takes with him. There are different ways to make exercise fun for yourself. (16:30) Vinnie often talks about an hour of cardio a day—it wasn't that long ago that that was the norm. Now people spend more time on their phone or at a computer than they do doing cardio. (18:15) They discuss the idea of boredom during exercise. (19:00) There are a wide variety of ways to get cardio in. They also chat about getting sun in. Weight-bearing exercise: if you are an avid cyclist or swimmer, you still have to get on your feet and do weight-bearing exercise. (29:00) Weight-bearing exercise is how you build your bones up. Breaking up an hour of cardio into 2 or 3 parts is still great! (33:00) All About Zones Zone 2: What is it and why does it matter? (35:00) He gives examples of all four Zones. Everything is working in your favor in Zone 2. (36:30) HIIT is in Zone 4 and no longer burning fat. Anna asks about needing sugar in the blood for homeostasis. (40:30) Yes, in Zone 4 you may—but it only takes 1 teaspoon, not "carb loading." You are not maximizing your potential by doing HIIT every day. (41:00) Your body needs 3-4 days to recover after long HIIT workouts. Don't go doing Zone 4 every day to give yourself an excuse to have a donut. You're still damaging your body with the sugar. HIIT is only good for increasing your VO2 Max. Vinnie explains building up your VO2 Max. (45:00) For all the cardio he does, Vinnie only seldom does intervals. How do you calculate Zone 2 for yourself, and do you need a heart rate monitor? (50:00) You don't need a super fancy or expensive heart rate monitor to get your basic info. You can just take your pulse, but that can be tricky. Vinnie shares how to calculate your Zone 2 heart rate. (57:15) Take 180 minus your age. (Do not use 220 as your starting point; that is for calculating *maximum* heart rate). If you are a sedentary person, then minus 5 points. If you are already in good shape, you can add 5 points. The goal is 70-79 % of your maximum heart rate. Anna reminds us of many different grocery store chains where you can find her amazing sauces! They discuss Anna's upcoming Eat Happy Italian book.

He reflects upon his recent conversation with Lori Fetrick (episode 2438) regarding "influencers" who have died. (16:00) Unfortunately, sometimes the cost of five minutes of fame is detrimental. Gina asks about a biotech gadget and "health-enhancing apparel" that apparently stimulates your muscles. (20:00) Vinnie answers about e-stimulation for muscles and discerns the B.S. from the truth.

Episode 2444 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Anthony Chaffee and they discuss cholesterol, ketones, claims of caveat mTOR, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/02/caveat-mtor-dr-anthony-chaffee-episode-2444 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 Ketones as Fuel NOTE: This episode is a load of information—grab a pen and paper, you may want to take notes! They open up chatting about the fitness of prominent low-carb doctors vs. vegan doctors. (2:00) Being lean and fit by eating right and staying active while growing older is important. (7:00) Your body only takes 4 grams of sugar at any one time; anything above that your body will treat as a toxin. (10:30) You need to eat the right things or your body will deteriorate. Every facet of your life will be improved by living healthfully. (13:00) Vinnie shares a recent X exchange about bananas. (15:00) The idea of "healthy carbs" is misguided. Anthony explains the biological functions happening with types of cholesterol. He shares an experiment with Oreos by Nick Norwitz. The misinformation is that your brain and body "prefer" sugars because they burn them first. Just because carbs get burned first does not mean they are the better fuel. Ketones are the optimal fuel for your body and brain. A frequent question Vinnie gets in his consultations is about statins. (23:30) Statins haven't even been proven to reduce the chance of heart disease or stroke. Anthony explains the history and rate of increase of heart disease; for example, the Inuit people. (34:00) Four grams of sugar in the blood looks like a level teaspoon. (43:30) The ketogenic diet and being fueled by ketones can reverse disease; his example is Pompe disease. They discuss how the body can produce its own sugar if necessary; however, ketones are a more efficient source. (48:30) Athletes on a ketogenic diet can fuel their bodies faster than athletes who depend on sugar and carbs. They chat about carb-loading and how it burdens your body. Vinnie challenges the idea of having to have a fuel belt doing marathons or loading kids up with muffins during soccer games. (1:02:00) Caveat mTOR They discuss mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin). (1:05:00) There is still a lot to be learned about mTOR. If you are eating something you are supposed to eat, then your biochemistry should work properly. The idea that we are getting damaged by eating food that humans have been eating for millennia (meat) is ridiculous. mTOR is a natural protein kinase that fluctuates in the body. You will never micromanage your biochemistry better than your biochemistry can. Anthony reads an amazing excerpt about how the introduction of agriculture has affected human health. (1:10:00) Alzheimer's dementia was observed in the early 1900s; however, no earlier medical literature has described that pathology.

Episode 2442 - On this Monday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino review NSNG® 101 with the food list, give you some motivational reminders, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/01/nsng-101-list-episode-2442 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast MOTIVATIONAL REMINDERS They give a mini tribute to singer Melanie. (3:00) Eric Couch (@BamaBass on X) lost over 100 lbs., but his weight loss slowed down and Vinnie's gonna talk with him. (7:30) Anna reminds us that today is what is most important—stop dwelling on any mistakes you made earlier. (9:50) Do whatever it takes to keep you motivated. (10:00) Vinnie talks about the Rocky Balboa movie he watched recently; even Vinnie needs to be motivated sometimes. Anna talks about getting her sauces into a new store with the help of Kurt Lepird. (16:00) Starting NSNG-- start with the pantry and clear it out. (19:45) The best way is to dive in—it will be most effective. They give other suggestions regarding temptation and when you live with others who aren't NSNG. Anna shares what some of the challenges were when starting NSNG. (23:30) Out of sight, out of mind helps. THE FOOD LIST Anna reads a fantastic list of what she has in her pantry to get you started. (28:00) There are things like nuts that, although considered NSNG, can be overdone. Pay attention to your hunger cues and any rogue snacking. Vinnie always says you can not eat any food with impunity; his friend Don is an example. Anna continues the list of refrigerated items, like dairy. (39:00) If you're not a baby, you don't need dairy; however, dairy (like cheese) is considered NSNG. She gives a disclaimer about meat--buy what you can afford. (42:15) Anna's new NSNG Italian cookbook is coming out later this year, but you can preorder it! Go through Vinnie's Amazon link from his book club to find it at VINNIE'S BOOKCLUB The Super Bowl is coming up. Anna's got tons of recipes for game day! Vinnie explains the sugar in bacon. (53:30) Anna's list is not necessarily comprehensive here, so you can reach out to her on X to ask questions. (56:30) She continues with the veggie list and gives clarity on items like sweet potatoes and squash. They chat about fruit and using citrus to add acid for flavor—that is different from drinking a glass of juice. Don't forget—olives and avocados are fruits! There are freezer items: make room for meats and for saving bones for broth! (1:02:15) Do not use bones that someone has eaten off of as those will hold bacteria from saliva. Once you start making your broth, you'll never go back to boxed broth. Anna's recipes are so good—it makes her happy when people tell her that they didn't use to like cooking, but now they do! (1:05:00) Stay away from grain-free items such as cassava and tapioca flours and starches and they will mess with your goals.

(2:30) She loves reading a real book rather than audio. Vinnie suggests she takes notes because writing them will help you accomplish them. Vinnie has a myriad of things on his resolution list each year. (4:30) He doesn't count the steps he takes while he gives phone consults—his cardio goals are separate from that. He's also taking to heart the mantra of "sitting is the new smoking." Exercise that prevents injury is what Gina is taking seriously. (9:15) No sitting while watching TV is her new habit. She emphasizes breaking habits down into manageable steps is the best way to go. A recent headline from the Daily Mail reports how certain "foods" contain toxins; however, some of those toxins have entered our soils, too. She's always wondered if this is the underlying cause of some cancers. (16:30) Dr. Anthony Jay has been on the podcast and has a book regarding environmental toxins. Estrogeneration can be found here. Plastics are infusing even remote areas; Vinnie recalls Mike Keen, who has also been on the show. Mike kayaked around Greenland and collected seal poop, which when tested, was shown to contain plastics. "Dr. Midge" on TikTok reports on four foods that aren't really "healthy" and cause insulin resistance and Gina asks for Vinnie's take on that list. (23:30) Gina has a new Instagram @myextrafamily and a new website, https://myextraseries.com. Check out Gina's book My Extra Mom.

She recommends people avoid making different dinners for different people in the same household. (18:15) Anna is prepping for surgery and is sharing what she's been doing to prep. (20:00) Her menopause journey has been a challenge. Peri-menopause and menopause are no joke. It is difficult and not just something you can "think your way" out of. Vinnie shares what his holidays were like. (25:00) He got sick over the holidays along with some other issues. They are planning another NSNG® 101 episode for the newbies.

Episode 2432 - BEST OF: On this Friday's BEST OF 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/2024/01/statins-and-cholesterol-dr-nadir-ali-episode-2432/ 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. The limitations on certain freedoms and access to information are concerning. The conversation leads to the use of statins. (12:07) Vinnie relays info from a consult he had and why he advised the person to find a different doctor. Dr. Ali goes into detail about when things like statins and CAC scans can be useful, and when they are unnecessary. For a doctor to just give you a statin and tell you it's good for you is not great; there are instances where a statin helps, and when they do not. 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. There is potential for lipotoxicity in some people; Dr. Ali explains. (25:10) There needs to be an individualized approach; as a result, it may be better to transition in stages. 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 2431 - On this Wednesday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Gina Grad discuss wasting junk food, changing habits, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/01/wasting-junk-food-episode-2431 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 Wasting Junk Food Vinnie often has to address people's guilt about "wasting" junk food. (3:00) He offers up a different way to look at getting rid of it. Either your health is a priority or it's not. He made a recent Instagram post about this very topic. They discuss things like "shelf-stable" puddings. (7:30) Vinnie shares he came to create Ultra Fat. They discuss some candies and frozen yogurt and sugar addiction. (15:00) Vinnie recommends a blind taste with frozen yogurt to see if there is much difference in the flavors. This leads to soft drink comparisons. Gina mentions how the same information coming from a different source is often received better. (23:00) A person in Gina's family is familiar with Vinnie and sees Gina's success. However, they didn't change their habits until they heard "only eat meat and veggies" from a weight loss center. This can be frustrating, but people only use correct information when they truly want to hear it. They have to want the change. Gina has a new Instagram @myextrafamily and a new website, https://myextraseries.com. Check out Gina's book My Extra Mom.

(7:45) He plans to keep "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill on a loop throughout the year to help him through some things. His goal to do more than 365 hours of cardio is on his list again. With all the nonsense of people trying to do "hacks" (shortcuts) in their lives, the reality is the things worth doing take time. (10:45) If you can learn to enjoy the process, that's when you will succeed. Vinnie opens up about some recent business issues that will also be reflected in his 2024 resolutions. (15:00) Vinnie is working to correct issues that he discovered. Anna understands the importance of customer service; she responds to every email herself. His goal is to win back loyalty from customers who may have been disappointed. Anna shares what she is learning as she runs her business as well. The tradition of listening to "Same Auld Lang Syne" by Dan Fogelberg continues. (31:00) The song is similar to a Hallmark movie. Inspired by the song, they talk about heading to Peoria, Illinois.

(6:25) Her child is T1D, but she and her husband were able to find ways to help their child. When she shared what she was doing with her doctor, his response was disturbing. Ryan explains more about T1D and the program he uses based on the research of Dr. Richard Bernstein. (10:30) Vinnie wants to know why there is so much pushback from the ADA and the diabetic and medical communities. (16:45) Ryan is making noise on X by challenging Dr. Bob Gabbay and the ADA. He discusses the "standard of care" document the ADA releases each year and his problems with it. The popularity of GLP-1 medications is (and isn't) astounding. Yes, a person can lose weight on those medications, but they damage your gut, muscles, and bones. The ADA accepts donations from Big Parma. It seems most people just expect to be on a slew of medications by the time they reach age 50. They discuss the problems they have with prominent vegan doctors.

(3:00) Gina mentions another trending diet—the 10-day Egg Diet. (5:15) Vinnie's take: He doesn't like fads. He recounts an appearance on the Adam & Dr. Drew podcast and discusses the bioavailability of certain foods. Eggs are a perfect food, but he wouldn't recommend it all day, every day. You'd just be teaching yourself another fad, which is a diet mentality. We all teach ourselves either positive or negative reinforcement. (9:30) Gina realizes that she has been eating a lot of beef recently; she hasn't eaten it for decades. (11:30) They chat about the Thanksgiving aftermath of leftovers. In his early days in Los Angeles, Vinnie was given boxes upon boxes of See's candies during the holidays. (18:00) Vinnie shares a little hack to curb his sugar cravings. (22:00) He loves espresso. He explains some differences in types of roasts (for coffee). Head on over to Pure Coffee Club for some great roasts.

Ben talks about how to tell if the load you're working with is enough. (16:00) The Colorado Experiment by Arthur Jones shows that it doesn't need to take that long to build muscle. (22:00) Your muscles send multiple signals to various parts of your body for better functioning. (28:00) Weight training is the best for that.

(2:30) The huge amounts of frosting and sweetness were an assault on the senses. The gimmicks never end: Gina has seen vending machines for cupcakes. (6:45) Vinnie remembers taking Tallulah to frozen yogurt when she was a kid, but he limited how many toppings. (8:00) They recall when Vinnie was trying junk food on the air. (9:00) There were two of the items Vinnie tried that stuck in his head about how awful they were. So many people have been brainwashed into thinking junk food is good! (14:55) Remapping your brain is possible! (16:00) When you cleanse your brain and palette, whole foods taste even better! Vinnie has a lot of experience helping people to remove things like soda from their lives. (18:45) It only leads to better health. People make the mistake of telling themselves they can't give up things like sodas or sweets. Those who were resistant initially can't believe how much better they feel without it. That's why it is said so often that sugar is a drug—because it is addicting. The unsexy truth is to eat right, get rid of junky food, and exercise.

Episode 2420 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich speaks with journalist Andrea Bertaglio who shares a recent controversy where truth is stranger than fiction, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/12/stranger-than-fiction-andrea-bertaglio-episode-2420 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 Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction Andrea is experiencing a similar thing that happened to Dr Tim Noakes. (3:00) His book "In Defence of Meat" has caused some attention, a lot of it negative. (7:00) He is being accused of trying to diminish animal welfare, but that is not what he is doing at all. He just writes science-based articles about the importance of meat in nutrition and the importance of livestock. He also writes about animal welfare and that it is in the best interest of both the farmers and the animals to have reasonable parameters in place. He tells a story that is an example of how certain rules affect farmers' ability to produce. (18:00) Vinnie wonders what a journalist is anymore. (22:30) Now there is "identity news"; Andrea weighs in. Andrea feels like he is transparent in his efforts and in informing the public. (27:00) Andrea explains how he got caught up in a current controversy. (30:00) Truth is stranger than fiction. He was invited to do a podcast interview but it was used for an article where he was misrepresented. He was attacked on LinkedIn and explains how a different article claimed to have reached out to him "in depth" when in actuality it was a "copy and paste" situation. (34:00) So there's a big lack of integrity behind the claims against him. Deep Pocket Interests Andrea explains some of the differences in how topics are addressed in different parts of Europe vs. in the U.S. (35:15) Vinnie discusses how corporations have their hands in so many of the U.S. organizations like the ADA and the AHA. (40:00) There are deep pockets involved in so many of these interests. Vinnie shares an Instagram post that received a lot of comments accusing him of fear-mongering. (42:30) Andrea is not interested in falling into conspiracy theory; however, there is a definite drive from certain ideologies to replace animal agriculture with manufactured products. (48:00) Vinnie gives a rundown on how the argument by vegans and other activists keeps changing. (52:00) Organizations in Europe are trying to claim that livestock animals are emitting more gases than transport vehicles. (54:00) They chat about other ideas that spark controversy. (49:00) Denmark is forcing farms to close to fall under climate numbers. In Ireland, there is a movement to kill over 200,000 head of cattle. Then there is the movement to get schools to reduce serving animal proteins. You can find Andrea on X @AndreaBertaglio.

(6:00) Vinnie talks about some of what he does to manage neck pain. He prefers to avoid the doctors who act like "the candy man." NSAIDs are a silent killer; they slowly mess up your liver and your stomach. (13:45) Anna has some thoughts about NSAIDS (specifically Advil), too, and her experience with it. (15:00) Her recent colonoscopy showed long-term damage. Vinnie mentions how he knows Advil isn't meant to be used frequently. (20:00) He shares his personal experience with CBD (no THC). (23:30) He takes a full-spectrum CBD that has minimal THC. Be careful, however, as according to some sources he's read, continuous use could show up in drug testing. For him, it works similarly to Advil, but without the side effects. Anna shares a question about gut health or "leaky gut". (39:30) There is a real connection between the gut and the brain. Vinnie was viewing the final cut of his next documentary. (42:00) This leads to a discussion about other docs and shows and how they can be edited down. Anna is fascinated with shows about cults.

Episode 2414 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Nina Teicholz about the price of propaganda at Harvard, in the food industry, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/11/price-propoganda-with-nina-teicholz-episode-2414 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 The Price of Propaganda Harvard is consistently putting out incorrect studies led by Walter Willet. (2:00) Nina has done an extensive deep dive on why this is happening. The big question is, why are Harvard and Walter Willet so anti-meat? She gives a great example of why correlation is not causation. (3:45) She elaborates on her deep dive into Walter Willet. (7:15) He keeps trying to assert that the science is settled on the topic of red meat to avoid debate. (14:30) Vinnie asks Nina a pointed question—What's in it for Willet? (16:45) There are a lot of parallels between him and Ancel Keys. Nina gives more details about the research she has done for her book. (19:30) There are many conflicts of interest regarding funding; there is a price for propaganda. She has written about this topic several times and revealed such conflicts. Actual clinical trials do not support Willet's claims. He always makes hypotheses but never completes clinical trials. There are so many data points that he ignores. Follow the Money There are plenty of fake food companies that are expanding their business interests. (31:00) They are the ones creating the narrative that meat is bad for the planet so they can claim they are saving the planet. Coincidentally, the claim of cow burps affecting the climate didn't arise until after the low-carb movement became popular. (34:45) The Barilla pasta company came up with a $40 million campaign to get meat off the plate, so you could replace it with pasta. (44:50) Ruminants are essential for soil sustainability and health, so why the attack on cows? (38:30) They chat a bit more about recent funding behind Harvard; it includes a donation of $350 million. (40:00) Even the Harvard Crimson, the student newspaper, called out the $350 million donation as disingenuous. (43:00) Nina ends on a positive note that there are plenty of people who conduct N=1 experiments who find their health improving when going low-carb and eating meat. (46:15) You can find Nina's article at her Substack here: https://substack.com/@unsettledscience You can find her book Big Fat Surprise here. She can also be found on X/Twitter @bigfatsurprise.

(13:30) They chat a bit about Olympic sports which you win by moving backward. (15:30) Gina's next question is regarding HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training).

This new format will allow Vinnie to be a little more hands-on in helping members. Get Ready for Great Info What are Vinnie's thoughts on weighted vests? (18:15). Vinnie has suggestions for use, but you also have to be careful when using one. He also explains plyometrics. Can Pilates act as a strength-training day? (23:45) How much fat is too much fat when starting NSNG and needing to lose weight? (25:00) This is tough to answer because it's so individual, but he has general guidelines. How much protein is needed to gain muscle? (28:05) Vinnie clarifies and addresses the myth of the "30-minute window". Taking in extra protein is not how you gain muscle. Your body is going to use what it needs to fuel, so extra will not necessarily do more. Flooding your cells thinking your body is going to absorb more doesn't work, despite what the bro-science guys will tell you. What are Vinnie's thoughts on pills to increase testosterone? (33:30) Vinnie shares his viewpoints, and Anna has a recommendation for women. How can you get enough protein when meat is expensive? (38:00) He suggests varieties of protein, which is best, and where you are being misled. You can also just find cheaper cuts of meat. How many "sets to failure" for weight-lifting are necessary? (44:30) Vinnie suggests the best ways to do this. There is a question about bloodwork, protein, and BUN levels, but it's a medical question, so ask your doctor (48:30) Specific exercises for visceral fat? (49:00) You can't spot reduce fat, even through exercise. Exercise on its own is not a great way to lose weight. Vinnie plays a recent Instagram post that summarizes what to eat. (53:00).
