Show notes

Episode 2434 - On this Wednesday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Gina Grad discuss resolutions, sitting is the new smoking, healthy food myths, toxins, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/01/sitting-is-the-new-smoking-episode-2434 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 Sitting Is The New Smoking Gina ordered "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, Vinnie's favorite book. (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 also co-hosts with Bryan Bishop for @LAmag on the Bryan & Gina Show, which you can find on any podcast platform and YouTube.

BEST OF: Statins and Cholesterol with Dr. Nadir Ali - Episode 2432 Jan 05, 2024

Show notes

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!

(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.

(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.

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.

(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.
