Caveat mTOR with Dr. Anthony Chaffee - Episode 2444 Feb 02, 2024

Show notes

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.

Show notes

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.

(5:00) He defines an LMHR (Lean Mass Hyper Responder) as high LDL, high HDL, and low triglycerides. He explains his background to folks unfamiliar with him. (7:00) Dave is an engineer and noticed a pattern or system. He shares the study with LMHR was about and some of its challenges. Awareness of LMHR is growing, so it should be studied even further. Funding such studies is difficult; however, the low-carb community has stepped up. The study analyzes how much LDL independently induces a high rate of atherosclerosis (lesions on the artery walls). (23:00) The participants are part of a year-long study that will measure plaque volume and soft plaque progression. The majority of studies done are on people who already have various diseases. (32:00) Dave would like to see a larger percentage of studies done on healthy populations to find a common baseline of biomarkers. Dave shares some information about Dr. Matthew Budoff's presentation that may be more useful to view on YouTube. To view the slides go to Vinnie's YouTube channel for this episode to view the discussion. (36:00) It discusses the quantifying of atherosclerosis with CCTA. Dave goes through the slides and explains the findings. A total plaque sore is discussed. (48:45) LDL cholesterol does not correlate with the progression of plaque. The caveat: this is preliminary data and more information needs to be collected. (56:50) Both Dave and Vinnie hope that the funding they have received for projects will help people learn and be empowered.
