(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). Anna is more neutral about the idea of plant-based. She wants to make sure people are fed to their dietary preferences. There are various things you need be careful about when eating at restaurants. Anna is going to FoodExpo. (20:00) Vinnie gives her some advice of what to watch out for. Anna wants to see what is trending and to also get the word out about providing truly healthy options.

(24:00) The author of Wheat Belly, Dr. William Davis, (available in Vinnie's Book club) explains some of the issues behind the poor wheat quality of today.(25:00) Dr. William Davis has been on the podcast. Listen to episode 2210. Big Food companies say they follow government regulations, but they are often in cahoots with each other. Kellogg's is finally catching hell for suggesting cereal for dinner.

Show notes

Episode 2460 - On this Monday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss fitness goals, how nothing works like hard work, semaglutide drugs, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/03/nothing-works-like-hard-work-episode-2460 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 Nothing Works Like Hard Work Today's episode talks about aerobics, but Vinnie has some other things first. (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.

Change for the Better with Dr. Georgia Ede - Episode 2459 Mar 08, 2024

Show notes

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.

They Don't Know to Say No - Episode 2458 Mar 06, 2024

Show notes

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.

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.

(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.

(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!

(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. She also co-hosts with Bryan Bishop for @LAmag on the Bryan & Gina Show, which you can find on any podcast platform and YouTube.
