Episode 2495 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dr. Cate Shanahan about her new book about oxidative stress, the downside of working against nature, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/05/working-against-nature-dr-cate-shanahan-episode-2495 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 Root Causes of Oxidative Stress Cate first noticed issues in pro basketball players. (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!

(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.

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.

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.

(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.

(10:00) Vinnie shares the advice he gave her. He recommends people find an accountability partner, if necessary. You need to keep working it, even if it gets difficult. 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.

(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. (51:00) Dr. Seyfried is a professor who shares information about and is developing a protocol, which he hopes will be available soon.

(6:00) But it's a big battle. People need to think about the reality of food choices and habits. Gina reads part of an article that says there is a movement to get "junk food addiction" as a legitimate mental illness. (9:00) There are both physical and emotional "rewards" that people become controlled by. Mood disorders can happen and affect a person's relationships with others and oneself. Vinnie recently had Dr. Georgia Ede on the show (episode 2459) who has researched the effects of diet on mental health.

Episode 2466 - On this Monday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss advice from a soda company, Anna's Expo West experience, and more. [libsyn_podcast id=30504848] 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 Running the Asylum After sharing thoughts about caffeine & Vinnie's new neighbor, they discuss getting daily steps in. (3:00) They were sent an infographic poster from "CardioSmart." (12:00) It describes how much sugar people ate 100 years ago vs now—from 2 lbs per year to over 150 lbs per year, which is 3 lbs. weekly! Anna describes other items on the poster. 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.

(2:00) The days of doctors advising people to smoke to lose weight. (3:00) Doctors would give the same advice to breastfeeding women in the 1960s and 1970s. (4:15) They discuss other talk that happened regarding women, breasts, breastfeeding, formula feeding, etc. There are various cultural aspects regarding them as well. This started in the 1960s and progressed. The pendulum swings back and forth over the decades regarding the topic of breastfeeding vs formula feeding. Vinnie emphasizes that there are situations where women can't breastfeed, such as producing little to no milk, which is a medical issue. Women should not feel bad about it. There was a time when formula feeding was encouraged over breastfeeding. Gina brings up some of the gadgets her friends use. (12:00) Vinnie wants to know the ingredients of a brand of powdered baby formula. (15:00) Seed oils and powdered corn syrup were the first four ingredients. Follow the Money--AGAIN Gina shares her concern after going to a water park and seeing the number of obese kids, including young boys with "breasts." (15:45) Vinnie had a similar experience on a beach in the South—he was hard-pressed to find a kid who was at a lean, healthy weight. There is a free video on YouTube called "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" by Dr. Robert Lusting. (18:00) Vinnie gives Gina an assignment. (22:00) Gina has a memory regarding her days on the Adam Carolla Show, and a discussion between Adam and Dr. Drew. (23:00) Vinnie recalls a similar story on the show, regarding pasta.

(2:30) Many people start out feeling good on a vegan diet, but it is typically because they are cutting out processed foods. It's not uncommon to give veganism up later because it doesn't properly energize the body. Vinnie shares some of the stories he would have to deal with (wheatgrass is like blood).

It appears to be a type of fake fasting, because you're still eating food, and basically vegan. Vinnie explains what real fasting is and what low-carb eating does. (18:00) Chemicals in Your Cereal Gina shares another report she read: cereal, especially oat-based, has a residue of pesticides. (21:30) The discuss chlormequat and paraquat.

(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. (15:00) He shares what he loves about the show and the Stallone brothers. Fitness Q & A Anna shares some fitness questions. (28:30) For even more details, go back to podcast episode 2448 for NSNG® 101: Cardio Training. What are some exercises for shoulder and knee pain? It depends on the point of pain, but Vinnie gives some generalized suggestions. Anna shares some shoulder concerns she has. (36:30) She shares some pain she's been having. (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.

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.

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.

(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.

(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!

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.

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. Vinnie is impressed with the variety of input he's getting for the documentary. Look for Vinnie's NSNG® VIP Community and sign up for the waitlist! Go to https://vinnietortorich.com/vip to sign up!

(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. Go check out her socials--she shares some relatively recent news. Check out Gina's book My Extra Mom.

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!

(10:30) He's turned off from medications because of the condition of people he found with pills while on duty. (14:00) Vinnie talks about the black-and-white viewpoints that some doctors have (meaning not very flexible in their approaches). His neck pain and the approach the doctor wanted to take compared to what he found worked for him. He found some natural remedies that help with relief Eric meets with others in the law enforcement and first responders community to help them get help, both with PTSD and well as metabolic help. (22:00) Like a lot of people, he has a lot of frustration and feels like he's been poisoned by propaganda from special interests. It makes it difficult for people to get accurate information and help themselves. Vinnie asks him to explain the Thin Blue Line flag and how his organization "Cops and Campers" got started. (25:00) Eric loves the idea of creating a community for his fellow first responders. Eric shares how he and his wife came to travel in RVs and explains all the benefits that his family is experiencing. (32:00) He has become a health coach and he's looking forward to helping others, but is learning to navigate social media. (39:00) Eric shares some of the events he'd like to have shortly.

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.
