Vinnie had a chance to audition for the show and gives reasons why he chose not to. He and Gina believe Jillian is probably behaving as directed, however: It's a horrible way to treat people who are desperate to get help. The show's whole premise comes across as trying to help but is actually humiliating to the contestants.

Episode 2322- On this Monday's show Anna Vocino welcomes special surprise guest Serena Scott Thomas and they discuss "Solidcore" exercise, midlife challenges for women, and much more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/04/midlife-challenges-episode-2319 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN MIDLIFE CHALLENGES Serena Scott Thomas joins Anna Vocino on this special episode as Vinnie is on vacation. (2:00) For exercise, Serena has been going to "Solidcore". (6:00) She gives the reason she started, how it's going, and all the benefits she's experiencing. She had a running injury but also realized how weak some of her stabilizing muscles were. She loves it so much she is obsessed and goes 4-5 times a week. It has made great changes in her strength and physique. Anna and Serena talk a bit about hormetic stressors: you have to have a certain amount of stress to grow and get stronger. (21:45) Anna's 50th birthday is coming up soon and they discuss aging and going into your next decades as strong and healthy as you can be. Anna suggests Dr. Peter Attia's book, "Outlive", which is about longevity. It's important to give yourself your best shot at life! Serena recently lost her mother, and she and Anna discuss handling grief, and comfort cravings (both physically and mentally). This leads to discussing self-reflection, self-forgiveness, and transgenerational trauma. MENOPAUSE Anna encourages men to listen to the conversation about menopause. (42:15) It will affect men as well, so they know how to help their significant others. The women discuss many of the midlife challenges, such as mood, brain fog, hot flashes, sleep issues, and much more. For many women, menopause is brutal; the changes can be overwhelming. There are not a lot of remedies for many of the issues; however, both women notice that they feel better when staying NSNG®. There are all kinds of inexpensive meds for men, but not many for women. Luckily, it has been found that previous concerns about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) have been incorrect. Make sure you speak to a doctor who is well-informed about the current research. Anna feels particularly overwhelmed at times as she is dealing with some of these issues while having the stress of starting a new business. This leads to a brief discussion about cold plunges, which Anna has been doing. [the_ad id="20253"] PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched on January 11! Order it TODAY!

The Basics of NSNG - Episode 2321 Apr 21, 2023

Show notes

Episode 2321 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich brings in Anna Vocino to review the basics of NSNG® for newcomers to the show, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/04/basics-of-NSNG-epsiode-2321 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN A LITTLE INTRODUCTION This episode is to review the basics of NSNG for the new "Rowebies". (2:00) That's the nickname given to people who have discovered NSNG® after listening to Vinnie on the Mike Rowe Podcast. It is not uncommon for people to have consultations with Vinnie to stay on track, even if they've been NSNG for a long time. Vinnie describes how he started NSNG. (17:15) Vinnie has been an ultra athlete for years, yet got leukemia. He describes what part of his lifestyle was like as an ultra-athlete. THE BASICS OF NSNG® They run down the list of what you can and should eat. (28:30) List of Healthy fats, meats, eggs, full-fat dairy, and so much more, and the benefits of each. This list is available in the NSNG e-book, available here. Vinnie shares why you can over-consume the right things when beginning, as you are retraining your hormone responses. (47:00) They explain why CICO (Calorie in, Calorie out) is not effective. You can track macros and/or what you eat if you like, but it is unnecessary! You can be successful without logging everything, so it's easy. Some people come from a disordered eating or diet mentality, and logging every item can be negative. They chat further about ideal veggies to have. Anna shares ideas. (56:00) However, things like cauliflower crusts should be used with caution. Read the ingredients as they often use a lot of non-friendly fillers like Cassava flour and tapioca starch. Cassava, potatoes, and other tubers are starchy and behave in your system like sugars. They talk about condiments as well. (1:01:00) Anna reminds listeners to read the ingredients list on labels, not the nutritional panel. It's important to know the actual contents, not just the numbers on the panel. Vinnie and Anna advise newcomers to really give themselves time to acclimate and see results, especially if they have been metabolically broken for a long time. (1:11:00) They also talk about both natural and artificial sweeteners--both are bad! They also review various beverages, and why some are better than others. (1:18:00) PLUS...

Best Of: Sugar Fuels Cancer with Dr. Thomas Seyfried- Episode 2317 Apr 12, 2023

Show notes

Episode 2317 - BEST OF: Today we replay an episode from 2015 when Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Thomas Seyfried from Boston College and they discuss all about how sugar fuels cancer. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/04/best-of-sugar-fuels-cancer-with-dr-thomas-seyfreid-episode-2317/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Villa Cappelli Pure Vitamin Club SUGAR FUELS CANCER After leukemia (and during) people kept telling Vinnie he needed to do certain things. (3:00) Eat macro-diet and micro-diet, juice everything, have wheatgrass, etc. or he would die. He went to his hematologist and asked how much of it was the truth. His incredibly intelligent hematologist simply said, "Stay away from sugar!" Everything is pointing toward sugar as one of the things that cancer loves. Sugar does not cause cancer; cells that make tumors feed on sugar. (4:40) Sugar is a prime fuel, but not the only fuel. Our red blood cells are constantly making a little lactate. Tumor cells have defective mitochondria so they make lots of lactate. Dr. Seyfried explains the mechanisms behind the process and why it's so important to understand. WHAT CAUSES CANCER? Cancer can be caused by a variety of things. (8:20) Some examples are radiation exposure, chemicals in the environment, chronic inflammation, and age. Mutations in genomes that we inherit can be involved. (10:35) People can be predisposed to cancers. Genomes are your set of genes and differences and mutations in them. However, there is a misunderstanding about cancer; the industry has believed that cancer is genetic because tumors have mutations. (11:50) This has caused a lot of misdirection in research and treatment. Dr. Seyfried explains even more of the science of how cancer cells work; cancer is a metabolic disease. (23:30) They also discuss the benefits of ketones and the ketogenic diet. It is highly important to understand the difference between ketosis and ketoacidosis--they are very different things. They discuss therapeutic ketones and whether or not they can help certain brain processing issues like autism. (55:00) You can read more about Dr. Seyfried on Boston College's website. https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/mcas/departments/biology/people/faculty-directory/thomas-seyfried.html Dr. Seyfried recommends the book Tripping Over the Truth, by Travis Christofferson.

(2:00) Anna then brings up how she has been getting into the "cold plunging" movement. (6:30) She describes how she's progressed doing it, how it feels, and how she hopes to benefit. She's been inspired to try it from listening to people like Gary Brecka. Cold plunges done correctly have shown positive healing results for people with autoimmune conditions. Anna's 50th birthday is coming up and Vinnie scoffs at the idea because Anna looks so amazing. (10:45) Anna wants to head into her next decade in the most positive ways possible. This leads to some fun discussion of doppelgängers, aging, and more cold plunging therapy. Vinnie wants to discuss weightlifting and a recent documentary he saw about bodybuilder Dorian Yates. (27:00) Vinnie shares information about certain bodybuilding history. He also advocates for what makes a good "leg day", and pushing your limits. They also discuss "natural" bodybuilding vs. steroids. GETTING YOURSELF MOVING Anna brings up a recent "cure" for constipation: a vibration pill. (41:00) They have a lot of fun with this discussion; however, there is serious talk about real ways to solve this health issue. The best way is to get your eating in proper order, with healthy foods and proper nutrients, and a healthy gut microbiome. And no, psyllium husks do not have the proper nutrients and are not necessary! They chat about how difficult it is to get people to think differently and be open to things like simply changing your eating. (47:00) People end up making themselves victims. People have also been led to believe that they should never question their doctors or the status quo. Vinnie and Anna share ways they have helped themselves by trying different, reasonable things.

Dealing with Carb Intolerance with Dr. Tim Noakes - Episode 2315 Apr 07, 2023

Episode 2315 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich and return guest Professor Tim Noakes discuss sports science, dealing with carb intolerance, your brain and "the bonk", and much more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/04/dealing-carb-intolerance-tim-noakes-episode-2315 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN DEALING WITH CARB INTOLERANCE Vinnie and Prof. Tim Noakes begin with a discussion of Tim's professional background, especially in the early years of sports science. (2:00) He has been involved with sports science for decades. Sports science studies the whole human biological system, and its entire functioning. They discuss the early days of sports science used in the Olympics and other events like the Tour de France and what things were discovered. Tim has written several books such as Lore of Running (now in its 4th edition) and Real Food on Trial. (11:00) Tim constantly reviews new information and updates his work based on the findings; you have to move with the evidence. Vinnie asks Tim to share what the issue was with Tim's historical trial and the "tweet heard around the world". (17:30) The trial was about information and not being able to speak outside the narrative of certain organizations. He gives various details about the trial, too. They turn to the topic of Diabetes. (26:00) Tim shares his history dealing with T2D and what he's discovered about himself using a low-carb lifestyle. He emphasizes that diabetes is carb intolerance. Vinnie and Tim discuss dealing with carb intolerance and give examples of ideal levels. (33:00) Even 1 gram of higher insulin inhibits the burning of fat.
