(5:00) He has gained abundant knowledge through the studies and scientists he has worked with. (8:00) Being a citizen scientist has advantages and disadvantages; while it allows for innovative insights, it can also lead to skepticism from trained professionals regarding credibility and expertise. He has also started the Citizen Science Foundation. Dave started learning more about cholesterol after having questionable test results. (14:00) He describes signs of a bad metabolism and that issues like insulin resistance are drivers of cardiovascular disease. (19:00) Metabolic health is a more critical cardiovascular risk indicator than LDL cholesterol levels, challenging traditional medical assumptions. Lean Mass Hyper Responders, a term coined by Feldman, describes individuals on low-carb, high-fat diets who exhibit high LDL cholesterol levels but maintain good metabolic health, sparking significant interest and further research. (22:00) Cholesterol Code Movie Dave recaps his journey and discusses the making of the documentary, "Cholesterol Code." (44:00) The film features personal narratives from individuals using ketogenic diets for various health issues, highlighting their experiences with cholesterol and metabolic health. "Cholesterol Code" incorporates scientific studies, emphasizing accurate representation of research findings and avoiding misleading claims, presenting a balanced view of ketogenic diets.

He had a medical emergency that revealed some serious gallbladder issues. (11:00) He was told not to eat fat, so he filled his diet with carbs, and his weight blew up. Chris also has celiac disease. Vinnie recalls a Heather McDonald video that shows her fainting on stage. (13:30) Chris recalls more of his health story. (16:30) He experimented with veganism, a pescatarian lifestyle, then back to meat. He went low-carb and felt better almost immediately. He lost fat and gained muscle at a slower rate; he's reached his goal in about 2.5 years. Chris talks about the "milk bar" at college; in college alone, he gained about 50 lbs. (25:00) Vinnie had his own weight gain story after college until a dear friend let him know he was gaining weight. What's the difference between a friend mentioning concern for weight gain and fat-shaming? (34:45) Obese people know they are obese. No need to mention it and shame them. Chris shares a story from The Telegraph that discusses a "vegan backlash;" Britons are eating more meat again. (45:00) GenZ appears to be adopting a whole-food omnivore approach to eating.

(3:00) A beer manufacturer is an example. People vote with their pocketbooks. Vinnie often gets asked what the best piece of fitness equipment to buy. (22:45) The answer is: the one you will use. Peloton was a marketing masterpiece. (25:00) If you get a spinner, be sure your saddle is also the right fit. (28:00) You can find fitness equipment that is gently used on Facebook Marketplace and online. A treadmill is probably the best out of the three because it is also a weight-bearing exercise. Echo bike or rowing machine: choose whatever you will use the most. (35:00) More variety can benefit you better. Rucksacks are great too. (38:00) At the gym, stair machines and treadmills are great. (40:30) The very best form of treadmill, however, is the big outdoors, if you can do it. Fresh air and nature are awesome! (43:00) Cardio is great, but you need to eat properly for it to benefit weight loss.

Mitchel, a caller, shared his personal experience of how eliminating seed oils significantly reduced shoulder inflammation from an old car accident injury. (05:46) The inflammation returned immediately after accidentally consuming seed oils again, providing real-world evidence of their negative effects. Vinnie described his 17-year cancer survival journey, noting how he exceeded typical survival expectations through lifestyle changes. When his oncologist showed interest in his methods, Vinnie offered to share his approach but was dismissed as 'anecdotal.' (18:48) If one knows they feel better on a healthier lifestyle, there is your "anecdotal" evidence. Second caller Mariano admits he feels pain in his joints when he goes off NSNG. (37:00) Vinnie asks what makes him go off plan if he knows he'll be achey. Planning for a LIL ("Life Into Living") moment is good; however, it's even better to plan how you are getting back on track and recovering from it. (48:30) Mark Tortorich, Vinnie's younger brother, joins the call. (57:30) Mark shared his recent experience with testicular cancer surgery and his commitment to exercise, starting with 10 minutes of daily cycling. He is gradually increasing the duration. He's also maintaining a carnivore diet and has already noticed improvements in his energy levels. Mark described the ubiquitous presence of sugar in unexpected places, from Big Lots to Aldi, noting how every corner features candy and processed foods.

(2:00) UPenn study references that the Keto diet can fight off cancer in early stages, and if undergoing chemo, can help with recovery. (20:00) Dr. Thomas Seyfried has been on the show discussing this. (22:00) Vinnie is an N=1 experiment of this. He believes that keeping himself in ketosis helped to stave off a remission in his cancer. He was told his cancer would return in 5 years; however, it didn't return for almost 17 years. His experience this time around was a bit different, but still better than his first battle with cancer. (24:00) He shares all the random advice he was given as "remedies" for his cancer while living in Hollywood. Hims/Hers and GLP-1s. The FDA should look at how this product is advertised without disclaimers. (38:00) Chris reviews a study suggesting that Wegovy lessens alcohol use. (42:00) They discuss why they have their doubts about this. It appears to be just another angle to try to advocate the use of the drug as alcohol use disorders are very complicated.

Going from a 5K to a 10K takes longer than you'd think. (19:00) Vinnie recommends trying 3 or so 5Ks first before trying to do a 10K. Slowly increase your distance each time while you are still training for your 5Ks. Training in Zone 2 is optimal. Take days off and let your body "absorb the fitness." Vinnie gives a sample running schedule. Grab a pen and take notes! (28:00) It takes a lot longer than what you think. Doing VO2 Max workouts more than once a week doesn't train you any quicker.

Using something like a GLP-1 is no different: you're tricking your body into a specific response, but if the lifestyle doesn't change, the weight will return when the drug is stopped. (13:00) We don't advocate smoking tobacco or pot because the long-term use is damaging. (16:00) However, Vinnie and Chris discuss the odd and inconsistent tobacco use rules. Fitness: are we doing it "wrong" (according to an article in the New York Times)? (29:00) So many people join the gym, but something as simple as walking is great! (34:00) Adding some weight can help, especially uphill. Get up and get moving! (39:00) Vinnie unleashes a bunch of ideas he's considering. (50:00) Interested in joining the NSNG® VIP group?

The Return of CICO - Episode 2604 Feb 10, 2025

Show notes

Episode 2604 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the return of CICO, hormones and eating, yoga and pilates, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/02/the-return-of-cico-episode-2604 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 The Return of CICO Vinnie has been getting a lot of questions lately regarding restricting and tracking calories. (2:00) Does CICO (Calories In Calories Out) work? (5:00) Short answer: yes. But why do it? It is a form of restriction and the best way of losing weight is through controlling your hormones, which can be done without tracking every calorie. (13:00) You can control aspects of your hormones through lifestyle and eating. Eating correctly and avoiding processed junk helps control insulin, ghrelin, leptin. Insulin regulates blood glucose. Ghrelin is the hormone that signals hunger. Leptin signals when you are full. Cortisol responds to stress and can cause weight gain. Vinnie explains how "resistance" develops. (30:00) Vinnie mentions he had a consultation where a caller's life coach joined in the conversation. (39:00) Anna loves this idea! Getting the extra help, if you can do it, could be beneficial. ALSO: You can invest in Eat Happy Kitchen through her website and StartEngine. (18:30) Details are at Eat Happy Kitchen. https://eathappykitchen.com/ Yoga/Pilates 101 What about yoga, Pilates, & stretching as forms of exercise? Vinnie loves yoga because it can stretch your muscles and joints, but it is not necessarily great for strength training. (43:00) Reformer Pilates is a great anaerobic exercise and great for strength. Don't rush through the exercises. Take your time and do it right. It should kick your ass, but not put you in pain. Stretching is good for muscles and joints, but doesn't count towards strength training.
