BEST OF: Sugar & Brain Health with Dr. Georgia Ede - Episode 1942 Oct 02, 2021

Show notes

: Episode 1942 - On this Saturday BEST OF show, Dr. Georgia Ede joins Vinnie Tortorich. The two talk biases, variables, epidemiological studies, the relationship between good nutrition and brain health, artificial sweeteners and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/10/sugar-and-brain-health-georgia-ede-episode-1942 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods SUGAR AND BRAIN HEALTH She went to medical school in Vermont. Dr. Ede her residency at Harvard for four years. Dr. Ede believes that for many, it is easier to believe that saturated fat is what causes fat. Not always financial bias. Ex: Loma Linda University study (promotes vegetarian diet) found that saturated fats hurt mice (they ignored that also in the higher fat diet was a MUCH greater amount of sugar). Other studies that say meat is bad removed all processed foods at the same time. There are no pure studies that say animal foods are bad for your health. She believes removing the processed foods is where the money is at . Now, Dr. Georgia does not eat plant foods or dairy. Fish and other meats. Pretty extreme diet. In ketosis constantly. Insulin has to cross into the brain. Your brain can become insulin resistant. Then your cells will starve to death when your brain is filled with glucose that can't be broken down. Link between sugar consumption and Alzheimers. She agrees that these artificial sweeteners are so similar to sugar that your body can't really tell the difference. They trick the body into thinking carbs are coming, thereby raising insulin levels. Coffee, Dr. Ede believes, can be very helpful for those with head trauma, ADD, ADHD, etc. Stimulant is good! Maybe this is why Vinnie does so well with coffee. FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON iTUNES and AMAZON Please also share it with family and friends!

Misinformation Campaigns with Dr. Jonny Bowden - Episode 1941 Oct 01, 2021

Show notes

Episode 1941 - Jonny Bowden joins Vinnie this Friday for a second appearance, and the two talk misinformation campaigns, COVID-19, the importance of vitamins and supplements, making habits, and more. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli Belcampo JONNY BOWDEN In his 40s, he got the nutrition and fitness bug. He had a masters in psychology, so he always liked learning more. He got super into working out, became certified by various methods to become a personal trainer. An Equinox gym hired him after he hung around and worked on himself enough. He was a low fat, calorie guy for a long time. The certifying organizations really sold him these lies. However, then Jonny heard about Atkins. Some of his clients tried it and he saw how it actually worked. They were thinner, lower blood pressure, and more. He had cognitive dissonance and he needed to figure out how that worked. Jonny began thinking: What if what we've been taught is simply not true? MISINFORMATION CAMPAIGNS In health, we see many such campains. A lof of this gets very political. Then, the misinformation spreads. Jonny uses ivermectin as an example. The same was done with the food pyramid and the like. And, now we see it with attacks on 'unsustainable' or 'unhealthy' low carb. THE NUTRITION MYTH BUSTER Jonny now understands that low carb is the way to go. You can't outrun or out-exercise a bad diet. Because Jonny became so interested in all of this, he ended up getting a PhD in nutrition! Check out his books on nutrition myth busting here: https://jonnybowden.com/products/books/ Eating low carb strengthens your immune system. You build your house by eating well. He isn't insulin resistant, he doesn't have metabolic disease. This is huge for your ability to beat viruses like coronavirus. Real food in its real form is the MOST IMPORTANT thing in Jonny Bowden's opinion. If you're doing this, you'll eat way fewer carbs and more fat is it happens. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

Our Omega-3 Supplement - Episode 1940 Sep 29, 2021

Show notes

: Episode 1940 - On this Wednesday show, we discuss a brand new product: our Omega-3 supplement, the role of chlorophyll, fishy tastes, Gina's wedding & Vinnie's birthday, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/09/our-omega-3-supplement-episode-1940 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods OUR OMEGA-3 Our product is actually quite pretty. It's a very manageable size -- an every-person's vitamin. We recommend taking them with food, but you can really take them any time. Vinnie and Andy tested every aspect of this product. Why are you taking this? It does a lot of things. It lubricates your body, it helps your hair, it helps reduce inflammation, and more. To be clear, no supplement is meant to cure disease; rather, it's used to supplement bodily function. Vinnie notices the difference between this product and others that are supposedly similar to it. Many people (including Andy) are worried about a fishy aftertaste: the ingredients in our product prevent and limit this.

His dog has come fairly come to close. Hopefully, Vinnie's extra strength helped him kill these venomous creatures quickly. GAINING MUSCLE MASS Vinnie has gotten stronger. He's feeling good! Recently, he's gained a bit of muscle. He went to Gina Grad's wedding yesterday. Initially, when he tried on some of his old jackets and pants, they were tight. His lats were too big! Vinnie's done this by spending a little bit of time in the gym each day. It's happened fairly quickly, and you can do it, too. On the day this show airs, Vinnie turns 59 years old. Don't let age be an excuse. You don't have to lose too much muscle mass as you age.

Getting Healthy with Food - Episode 1937 Sep 25, 2021

Show notes

: Episode 1937 - On this Saturday show, Robyn Dobbins joins Vinnie to discuss her weight loss journey, the consequences of diabetes, getting healthy with food, mental health and medication, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/09/getting-healthy-with-food-episode-1937 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods GETTING HEALTHY WITH FOOD Robyn's husband turned her on to this way of eating. Her husband, Matt, found NSNG® through the Carolla show. When Robyn was around 40, the doctor told her she'd have to go on statins. She knew enough about Vinnie to know she could probably fix this, and asked her doctor for six months to figure things out. Her numbers increased impressively and she didn't have to start statins! Robyn, at one point, weighed 150 lbs at 5'1". Now, she weighs 100 lbs. Robyn is 44! She looks 10 years younger, and feels younger, too! Her husband, Matt, has lost around 75 lbs. He is 5'9" and 43 years old. The two took the bull by the horns and got their health under their control! For Robyn, she was on several drugs that affected her daily life. Now, she's so very much better. The medications made it difficult to live day to day. FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON iTUNES and AMAZON Please also share it with family and friends!

Integrity In Meat - Episode 1936 Sep 24, 2021

Show notes

Episode 1936 - On this Friday episode, Belcampo's very own Anya Fernald joins Vinnie to discuss her company, transparency and integrity in meat marketing, lies about alternative meat, and more. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Belcampo Villa Cappelli ANYA FERNALD Anya is the co-founder and CEO of Belcampo, one of the fabulous sponsors of this show. She has worked in animal agriculture. Anya loves animals and wants to improve livestock outcomes. She started her own company because she believes in better treatment of livestock. This is not only better for the animals but it's also better for the environment and the people. Small, smart farming is good for the soil. Factory farmed meat is the problem, not family farm meat. You can shop her store online! She was vegan for some time and vegetarian for 10 years. But she began to play offense on defense. Further, meat is important and healthy in our diets. INTEGRITY IN MEAT This is where Vinnie gets his high quality but affordable meat. A little bit ago, there was some drama with the company. A former employee appeared to have ordered from a different company than was listed. The company found out at the same time as the public. Belcampo ran a full audit on purchasing in 2019 and 2020 and published the results. They took accountability for the issues, but believe this will not happen again and they will provide more transparency moving forward. There is a level of rigor on everything with respect to compliance. Belcampo's labels match the product -- they make sure. She wants to be part of the change in meat production and selling. They'd love to be a bigger community with integrity and accountability. WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON iTUNES and AMAZON Please also share it with family and friends!

Show notes

: Episode 1934 - On this Monday, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk Vision Quest, working hard and working out, going NSNG® for life, real vs. fake supplements and more. Steven Crutchfield of Villa Cappelli makes a guest appearance. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/09/working-hard-and-working-out-episode-1934 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Belcampo Villa Cappelli WORKING HARD AND WORKING OUT As a kid and teen, Vinnie wanted to become a different person. His way of getting cooler and more confident was working out. Often, he trained in the heat to get himself fitter. Vinnie made talent out of nothing (or so he says) through incredibly hard work. Success (in any area) takes incredibly hard work. What can you do? Double down, commit to what you want to get good at. NSNG® FOR LIFE This is a sustainable lifestyle. But, it's a lifestyle, not a diet. Commit to it and it will become second nature. You'll be sated and the like, too.

Warming Your Joints - Episode 1933 Sep 19, 2021

Show notes

: Episode 1933 - On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad joins Vinnie Tortorich and the two talk Gina's wedding, playing hurt, warming your joints, processed foods, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2021/09/warming-your-joints-episode-1933 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods PLAYING HURT Recently, Gina's podcast, Easy Listening, had a podcast on being stoic. Vinnie's an expert at being stoic, so it really resonated with him. As a football player, he'd always play hurt. His coaches knew that if he was showing pain, it had to be really, really bad. WARMING YOUR JOINTS When you work out, warming up is very important. Vinnie will start with no-weight squats. If he goes for a run, he'll walk for half a mile before running a step. If you haven't been exercising, it takes nothing to get hurt. It's not too late to slow down a bit when you start your daily exercise.
