(18:00) He and Anna clarify that he was not judging the people themselves--what he was feeling was how they must be struggling with metabolic conditions and sugar addiction. Food and sugar addiction is real, yet the number of sugary drinks and junk food as entertainment that surrounded him was saddening.

Fighting Alzheimer's Disease with Dr. Mary Newport - Episode 2393 Oct 06, 2023

Show notes

Episode 2393 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Dr. Mary Newport discuss how adding more drugs to society is not progress, fighting Alzheimer's disease, the third edition content of her book, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/10/fighting-alzheimers-disease-dr-mary-newport-episode-2393 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 This is NOT Progress Vinnie welcomes Mary back to the show and they chat a bit about writing books. (2:00) Mary's book "Alzheimer's Disease: What If There Was a Cure? The Story of Ketosis" is in its 3rd Edition with new information. Vinnie brings up how he recently noticed how many drugs were advertised during football games. (5:30) So many of the ads are ridiculous! For example, rosacea is not deadly, but the side effects of the medication can be! Why are these drugs being pushed? This is not progress! Health insurance companies should offer CGMs to people at a discount—even for free—so people can see what certain foods do to their blood. (11:15) Mary agrees: it's the perfect way to see what they are doing wrong with eating. Monitors that track blood sugar and glucose simultaneously are now available and worth the investment. They often can be used for as little as two weeks to a month to get an idea of what affects your body. The effects of society getting heavier and unhealthier are having a ripple effect. (15:45) For example, two airlines are starting to weigh passengers before boarding to avoid overloading the plane's weight capacity. Mary reveals that 75% of people are diabetic or pre-diabetic by age 75; however, young children are suffering from it as well. (17:45) They discuss the nutritional guidelines and how they still do not address real health issues. She discusses infant nutrition and the benefits of breast milk compared to formula. (19:00) Formulas often have ingredients like seed oils and starches that are harmful. Fighting Alzheimer's Disease Mary shares what this third edition of her book includes. There's been even more information added. Alzheimer's is a scary disease with many challenges; however, she shares some wonderful examples of the benefits of ketones. Vinnie and Mary discuss how people hesitate to try variations on diet; the reality the only thing they are doing is experimenting with food. Things like coconut oil are not a miracle—but with consistency, there can be a marked improvement in health and longevity. (40:00) They also discuss ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and a protocol named The Deanna Protocol. You can find Mary's latest book on Amazon (link above in the notes), and many other bookseller websites.

Questioning Blue Zones - Episode 2392 Oct 04, 2023

Show notes

Episode 2392- On this Wednesday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Gina Grad talk about questioning Blue Zone theories, playing semantics, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/10/questioning-blue-zones-episode-2392 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 Questioning Blue Zones Gina asks Vinnie to share what he knows about "Blue Zones". (3:00) There's more awareness about "Blue Zones" based on a documentary. However, Vinnie can dispute some of the information in the documentary. Blue Zones are defined as certain regions that claim to have a record of the most longevity per population. The claims tend to advocate for a vegan diet, but Vinnie shares why he challenges the Blue Zone theory. He uses two examples that he is most familiar with: Loma Linda, CA, and the island of Sardinia, Italy. (5:00) They chat about Greece and how Ancel Keys cherry-picked information for his study. (9:45) A recent two-part interview with Dr. Bill Schindler can be found in these two Fitness Confidential episodes: 2384and 2387. There, you will get more details about what is accurate and which parts are questionable about Blue Zones. It is not attributable to just food but to the entire lifestyle. At times, the information given for certain studies is about semantics. (14:45) Speaking of lifestyle, Gina asks Vinnie to recall what he has explained about Roman soldiers and gladiators. (19:00) They also chat about areas like Japan; again, it should be based on the entire lifestyle and culture. 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.

Show notes

Episode 2391 - On this Monday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss learning from failures, answer some cooking questions, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/10/learning-from-failures-episode-2391 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 Learning From Failures Vinnie and Anna discuss the topic of failure. (3:00) He mentions measuring things by your FQ, the "Failure Quotient". This has nothing to do with how smart you are; it has everything to do with brushing yourself off and getting back up. If you find poor excuses, you need to take a better look at yourself. (8:00) You have a brain, you make choices. Vinnie is considering doing small group Zoom consults; he'll figure out the details and give more information down the road. (11:00) He asks for feedback on the idea—contact him through X (formerly Twitter) and let him know your thoughts. Vinnie reminds listeners that it's not as important that you screw up, you must get back up. (15:00) He discusses how Tom Brady took average skills, learned what to develop, and looked at what he did with it. (16:30) He shares an example of a success story from his Rowing Class. (17:20) Vinnie discusses how people white-knuckle it through other diets, only to hit the goal and rebound up. This usually happens because they don't address what is going on mentally. Anna shares a story where she had to say no to what was a big deal for her business. (23:00) She talks about how she has changed over the years and how she handled it now compared to what she would have done before. Everything is an opportunity to learn and grow by learning from failures. She ties her story back to health and fitness, and how to not beat yourself up, just get right back on with the next moment. They chat a bit about Anna's new upcoming cookbook, Eat Happy Italian. (28:00) Vinnie's going to a wedding. (29:45) They chit-chat a bit about their younger years and what they realize now in comparison. Anna Has Answers Anna shares a couple of cooking questions she received. (39:00) InstantPot or CrockPot: What is the difference? Is one better than the other? She explains the difference and they both make recipe suggestions. A listener asks for a rundown of Anna's Eat Happy Kitchen spices on meat. (47:30) Vinnie gives a shout-out to listener Mark who recently finished a great climb up Mt. Whitney—he DNF'd the first time, but made it this time! (50:30) Vinnie plays a YouTube video excerpt, "How Keto Failed You". Why did it work for someone else, but not you? (52:30) He gives a rundown during the video and a map to move forward! How sugar activates the brain is another video to look for on his YouTube channel.

A Ruminant Revolution with Dr. Peter Ballerstedt - Episode 2390 Sep 29, 2023

Show notes

Episode 2390 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich and "The Sodfather" Dr. Peter Ballerstedt discuss the health of the environment and nutrition through a ruminant revolution, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/09/ruminant-revolution-dr-peter-ballerstedt-episode-2390 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 Pandemic of Metabolic Illness Dr. Peter Ballerstedt returns to the show and is known as the "Sodfather." Peter is a Forage Agronomist and has expansive knowledge of agriculture, the environment, and nutrition. He explains 3 key messages he is trying to spread: public health needs animal foods a sustainable food system is only possible with livestock, particularly ruminants. livestock and animal foods are a part of our (and others) varied cultural heritage Vinnie gets tired of the fast narratives put out by popular vegan doctors. (4:00) He referenced recent guest Dr. Bill Schindler who has studied human development back as far as 3 million years. (5:15) Peter adds that grasslands need ruminants for soil to be healthy and growth to be sustainable. Early humans discovered tools that helped their brain development; they went from being scavengers to apex hunters. They discuss the disconnect that happens as certain tech progresses. (11:30) People are becoming even more removed from certain aspects of life which makes things feel as if they are going in reverse. Peter asks: is it the tech, or what we choose to do with the tech? He gives an example of how Gary Taubes is doing some current research. They discuss the politicization through such campaigns as "meat is murder," etc. (15:00) Reconnection with the hard wall of physics, biology, and endocrinology should make people realize how negative campaigns against meat are misguided. The proof is the current Pandemic of Metabolic Illness happening. Obesity is a symptom of malnutrition—he elaborates. Ruminant Revolution Peter is encouraging a "ruminant revolution," which is to improve the productivity and efficiency of ruminant agriculture globally. (20:00) He and Vinnie also remind people that doctors are not your boss, they work for you. (22:00) People need to become better informed for their benefit. They discuss how politics has entered the food system. (26:30) Peter gives examples from both Germany and Brazil about processes that both didn't work and do work. (28:00) He explains what arable land is (able to be plowed and grown). All arable land is agricultural, but not all agricultural land is arable. Vinnie asks Peter's opinion about the recent uproar in Ireland about killing thousands of cattle to reduce emissions. (41:00) We must figure out how to feed the world the appropriate amount of animal-sourced food, for public health. Even if the U.S. got rid of animal agriculture, it would only reduce global emissions by approximately 2%. However, it would also imbalance the food system and reduce nutrition globally. One study that is never discussed states that a wildlife-dominated savannah and a livestock-dominated one are equal. (58:00) Those who are pushing the Dietary Guidelines for metabolic health are at least 10 years behind on the science. (1:02:00) Vinnie shares an idea that he and Nina Teicholz have had about creating a health think tank to better get the truth to the public. (1:03:00) You can find Dr. Peter Ballerstedt around the web and on social media and doing various appearances around the world. Here is a link to start.

Food Can Either Hurt or Heal - Episode 2389 Sep 27, 2023

Show notes

Episode 2389- On this Wednesday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Gina Grad talk about dating apps, how sugar damages mitochondria, how food can either hurt or heal you, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/09/food-can-either-hurt-or-heal-episode-2389 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 Food Can Either Hurt or Heal Vinnie and Gina spend a few minutes talking about dating apps, having no luck, and people objectifying each other. (2:00) Gina has multiple friends who have met through apps and are now married. Vinnie gets clear on how some of the apps work, and basically, some of the apps are people just objectifying each other. Gina then plays a TikTok video about a popular coffee chain and how many grams of sugar is in its new pumpkin spice dessert coffee concoction. (15:00) The video states that 185 grams of sugar is in just one drink! Vinnie talks about a video he did years ago where he interviewed people outside a Starbucks about their drinks. He shares everything he observed. What people don't understand about all that sugar is that it is damaging their mitochondria and their DNA. (20:00) Damaging mitochondria and DNA creates a breeding ground for cancer to grow. Vinnie has been avoiding sugar for 16 years and his cancer has never come back, even after he was told it would return in 5 years. Food can either hurt or heal you, it's up to you. They also discuss Jim Abrahams, who was in "FAT: A Documentary." Vinnie recounts the story of Jim's son Charlie, who was a small child suffering multiple seizures a day. Even though Charlie was only 2 or 3 years old, doctors had given up. Jim had discovered the ketogenic diet, which was a 100-year-old proven therapy, but doctors were recommending a partial lobotomy! They were willing to cut out a piece of his brain, but not try changing his food! Jim made a movie starring Meryl Streep based on a true story similar to Charlie's. Look for the movie, "First Do No Harm," (1997). Check out Gina's book My Extra Mom.

How to Keep Moving Forward - Episode 2388 Sep 25, 2023

Show notes

Episode 2388 - On this Monday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss how to keep moving forward, how sugar feeds cancer, and more. [libsyn_podcast id=28126607] 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 How to Keep Moving Forward Anna shares a wise reminder that applies to most things, including fitness and health: This Too Shall Pass. (2:00) Vinnie discusses a recent consult with "Judy" and what things were happening that have stalled her weight loss. (2:30) He doesn't like the word "plateau," because your body is always doing something. What it does depends on whether you are doing negative or positive things. So you need to keep moving forward! Anna brings up Bulgarian Split Squats and they discuss how to improve them. (6:00) She also brings up other fitness challenges that are happening, especially during menopause. Vinnie still works out to failure and loves the calm feeling it brings. They chat about sleep, too; as a result, they talk about how magnesium helps. (12:30) Sugar Feeds Cancer Getting calories on people when they are dealing with cancer or similar things is difficult. (14:00) Often people just need to keep their weight on when their appetite is gone. Vinnie is dealing with 3-4 people right now who are fighting cancer; he shares his personal advice—but reminds us he is not a doctor. He describes his own experience during cancer regarding appetite and food. He recommends staying away from sugars because sugar and other carbs feed cancer. (19:30) However, if a person is struggling to eat during chemo, they need to keep weight on and they should eat what they can. Because at that point, their body needs something to have energy to fight. He also recommends desiccated liver capsules; but only the fatty kind. He makes other recommendations with protein, too. Anna reads a label sent in by listener Kristy Smith; the label is from Nestle Health Science. (23:30) As you can guess, it's pretty much an abomination. It's a mix of bad ingredients with added vitamins and amino acids; however, the added supplements are less than two percent of the ingredients! (27:00) Cancer grows out of damaged cells; when mitochondria get damaged, cancer grows from that. (28:00) After the ad for Villa Cappelli, the best olive oil on the planet, they switch to football talk. (40:50) This leads to a chat about the late Jimmy Buffett and his legacy on the planet. (43:00) Anna shares her two cover options for her upcoming Low-Carb Italian Cookbook. (44:30) Don't forget to check out Anna's Eat Happy Kitchen Substack, too!

Reconnecting with Your Food with Dr. Bill Schindler - Episode 2387 Sep 22, 2023

Show notes

Episode 2387 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Bill Schindler to continue their discussion about raw milk, Blue Zone lifestyles, reconnecting with your food, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/09/reconnecting-with-your-food-with-dr-bill-schindler-episode-2387 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 Reconnecting With Your Food Vinnie welcomes Bill back for another episode since they were just scratching the surface in the previous episode. Vinnie asks Bill about raw vs. homogenized milk. (4:00) Bill says most milk in any grocery store has been adulterated. He explains the human digestion of milk, to help clarify why he advocates for raw milk. But he also explains why it can be dangerous under certain conditions. They explain the various fermentation processes of dairy. (11:45) The problem with dairy isn't the milk itself, but the system of handling it. (21:00) Pasteurizing doesn't make bad milk good; it makes bad milk not lethal. Bill shares where to legally buy raw milk. (29:00) However, this comes with the responsibility of doing your research and visiting the farms you are considering buying from. Bill describes homogenization, what it's used for, and why it's not superior. (31:00) They discuss various cheeses and Bill shares how a quality mozzarella is made. (36:00) He also explains what to look for in a real mozzarella, which can be very different than what is available in most grocery stores. Sardinians Have It Right Vinnie asks Bill to elaborate on his studies on the "Blue Zones", particularly Sardinia. (44:00) He gives great detail about his experiences in Sardinia, the food, the preparation, the activity levels, and the culture. He emphasizes the importance of the connection and respect they have for all of their food. The immediate Sardinian community is the source of their own food, not factories. Vinnie compares how many people in the U.S. handle exercise. (55:00) Many in the U.S. are "Fake Living"; he explains. It would be beneficial for our health to try to reconnect with food, and respect where it comes from. They chat about a couple of episodes of "The Great Human Race" involving lions, hyenas, and more. (1:08:00) You can find Bill's book "Eat Like A Human" here.

Show notes

Episode 2386 - On this Wednesday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Gina Grad talk about the war on fat, the myth of six meals a day, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/09/the-war-on-fat-episode-2386 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 The War on Fat Gina opens the show with a question to Vinnie about eating 3 meals daily. (2:30) Now that she has been NSNG® for a while, she feels like 3 meals a day is a lot of food for her. They also discuss some of the other changes happening to her since being NSNG®. They discuss where the idea of 6 meals a day comes from, and why it's B.S. (7:00) It started with the war on fat, which led to eating more carbs. She shares what she has seen in women's fitness and weight loss Facebook groups. (16:00) The topic is usually about plateaus and how to break them; not surprisingly, the advice she hears is off the mark. Vinnie sorts the B.S. from facts. Cheat meals are nonsense. Vinnie shares an example of a common struggle he hears during his consultations. (19:00) Many people stop doing what is working and start trying hacks from various sources. This kicks them back into the diet mentality. He and Gina discuss OMAD (One Meal A Day), which some people try. His advice will vary depending on what is going on in your life. He also shares a crab cake recipe idea that Serena makes. They wrap up the show with a conversation about the Gina & Bryan Show. Gina recommends that since the holidays are coming up, consider gifting the NSNG® e-book to someone you care about. 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.

Gilding the Lily on NSNG - Episode 2385 Sep 18, 2023

Show notes

Episode 2385 - On this Monday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss what is gilding the lily on NSNG, damaging DNA with genotoxic artificial sweeteners, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/09/gilding-the-lily-on-NSNG-episode-2385 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 Gilding the Lily and Damaging DNA Vinnie and Anna chat a bit about some celebrity and movie talk. (2:00) Vinnie describes why many celebrities were so successful following his guidance. (8:00) They discuss a common issue Vinnie hears during consultations. (10:00) People try to "gild the lily", meaning adding things that can be too much. You can't eat with impunity; it is possible to still have too much food. People want a magic number or an amount to work with, but there isn't one. This is why the consultations are so helpful because Vinnie can customize advice for your situation. Anna shares an item she received from a listener. (20:00) It's about a rice cooker and the claims the company makes about cooking "low-carb rice". So Vinnie explains about rice and starches and that claims like "resistant starches" are a fool's errand. (24:15) Anna then shares an article stating that sucralose (Splenda) is "genotoxic". (26:50) This means it is damaging DNA. Vinnie has been screaming about how sweeteners are bad for you for years. His message hasn't changed because it's the correct message! Vinnie and Anna keep producing this podcast because it is a labor of love. (32:00) Anna reads more about the sucralose article. (43:00) The conversation takes a turn to Anna's recent experience of demo-ing her sauces in a grocery store. There is a pandemic of poor health across society, which makes things like the COVID pandemic even more deadly. (53:00) Anna's experience at the store shows that there is still more work to be done to get the message out! They talk about a few recipes, from great burgers to a pimento cheese dip that Anna's created. (52:00) Don't forget to check out Anna's Eat Happy Kitchen Substack, too!
