Episode 2616 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino give you a lesson in Reading Food Labels 101, trickery in marketing and labeling, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/03/reading-food-labels-101-episode-2616 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Reading Food Labels 101 Anna loves her Owala water bottle. (2:00) If you are interested, it is available on Amazon and through Vinnie’s link: https://amzn.to/3DebbSz OWALLA 32 OZ FREE SIP. The “healthy at any size” movement is being debunked. Morbid obesity is not healthy, and people who are struggling with their weight and health should know they have value; and that’s why Vinnie and Anna want to help. (10:00) Vinnie understands why people want to take GLP-1, but he doesn’t think it’s a good idea because of its side effects. He also doesn’t want people to believe that’s the only way they can lose weight. People can lose a great amount of weight by going NSNG®, or low carb, and not be messing with negative side effects. (13:00) Right below the nutritional panel (NFP) is the ingredients list. (25:30) The “facts” listed on the “nutritional facts panel” are not necessarily facts, since they can be manipulated. (27:30) They are allowed a margin of error, but it’s a wide one. “Net carbs” is another misrepresentation and trickery. (34:30) Watch Vinnie’s documentary “Dirty Keto” to get more details. The ingredients list shows items in the order of volume; the most volume is listed first. The front of food packages can claim anything for marketing purposes. (42:00) Stick to one ingredient foods, like whole, natural foods, that are NSNG®, and you will never have to worry about it. Always read the label on packaged foods! (49:00) Anna reads the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) for nutritional panels for a food manufacturer to be able to claim “no carb.” (52:45) There is a margin of error that allows a company to claim no or low carb, but it actually *does* have carbs. Anna will be reporting from the upcoming Food Show! More News If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, register here!

Episode 2612 - Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dave Feldman about being a "citizen scientist," his documentary "Cholesterol Code," and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/02/citizen-scientist-dave-feldman-episode-2612 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Citizen Scientist People challenge Dave and the information he gives about cholesterol because he is an engineer, not a formally trained scientist. (5:00) He has gained abundant knowledge through the studies and scientists he has worked with. (8:00) Being a citizen scientist has advantages and disadvantages; while it allows for innovative insights, it can also lead to skepticism from trained professionals regarding credibility and expertise. He has also started the Citizen Science Foundation. Dave started learning more about cholesterol after having questionable test results. (14:00) He describes signs of a bad metabolism and that issues like insulin resistance are drivers of cardiovascular disease. (19:00) Metabolic health is a more critical cardiovascular risk indicator than LDL cholesterol levels, challenging traditional medical assumptions. Lean Mass Hyper Responders, a term coined by Feldman, describes individuals on low-carb, high-fat diets who exhibit high LDL cholesterol levels but maintain good metabolic health, sparking significant interest and further research. (22:00) Cholesterol Code Movie Dave recaps his journey and discusses the making of the documentary, “Cholesterol Code.” (44:00) The film features personal narratives from individuals using ketogenic diets for various health issues, highlighting their experiences with cholesterol and metabolic health. “Cholesterol Code” incorporates scientific studies, emphasizing accurate representation of research findings and avoiding misleading claims, presenting a balanced view of ketogenic diets.

He lost fat and gained muscle at a slower rate; he’s reached his goal in about 2.5 years. Chris talks about the “milk bar” at college; in college alone, he gained about 50 lbs. (25:00) Vinnie had his own weight gain story after college until a dear friend let him know he was gaining weight.

Peloton was a marketing masterpiece. (25:00) If you get a spinner, be sure your saddle is also the right fit. (28:00) You can find fitness equipment that is gently used on Facebook Marketplace and online. A treadmill is probably the best out of the three because it is also a weight-bearing exercise. Echo bike or rowing machine: choose whatever you will use the most. (35:00) More variety can benefit you better. Rucksacks are great too. (38:00) At the gym, stair machines and treadmills are great. (40:30) The very best form of treadmill, however, is the big outdoors, if you can do it. Fresh air and nature are awesome!

Vinnie described his 17-year cancer survival journey, noting how he exceeded typical survival expectations through lifestyle changes. When his oncologist showed interest in his methods, Vinnie offered to share his approach but was dismissed as 'anecdotal.'

(37:00) Vinnie asks what makes him go off plan if he knows he’ll be achey. Planning for a LIL ("Life Into Living") moment is good; however, it’s even better to plan how you are getting back on track and recovering from it. (48:30) Mark Tortorich, Vinnie's younger brother, joins the call. (57:30) Mark shared his recent experience with testicular cancer surgery and his commitment to exercise, starting with 10 minutes of daily cycling. He is gradually increasing the duration. He's also maintaining a carnivore diet and has already noticed improvements in his energy levels. Mark described the ubiquitous presence of sugar in unexpected places, from Big Lots to Aldi, noting how every corner features candy and processed foods.
