Episode 2224 - On this Monday's show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss empowering people to better their health, unplugging, how nature will save us, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/10/nature-will-save-us-epsidoe-2224 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN CARB SEASON & CARB ADDICTION Anna is making a fabulous "Stewanesca" on youtube while she and Vinnie chat, so check it out! She's also describing her process during the show. You can also find the recipe for "Stewtanesca" on Anna's Substack at annavocino.substack.com. Anna has a link to her NSNG®-friendly Thanksgiving holiday recipes! Go here and Eat Happy! Vinnie starts the show by sharing an upcoming Instagram post about trick-or-treating. (3:45) He has a lot of hope in some younger doctors who are looking at medicine differently to avoid shelling meds out like candy. (5:45) Vinnie also mentions how many people have a hard time with carb addiction where something like one slice of pizza can really derail progress. (13:30) It's a great thing when people have enough awareness about themselves, so they can stay on top of temptation. The pandemic is in the rearview mirror, so people need to stop using that as an excuse. Anna agrees and Vinnie just wants to see people win; he references recent Saturday guest Jen Mendyka. You can hear her episode here. Anna mentions how she is reminded of Vinnie's story about going home to Louisiana to visit several years ago, and all the people he knew his age were on multiple medications. (15:50) She shares some thoughts on how her understanding has changed a bit during the past ten years and now she is also witnessing friends struggling with health and multiple medications. This is why they both care so much--it is so important to get the word out about proper eating and health, so people can empower themselves! (17:00) Vinnie and Anna chat about what a huge percentage of advertising is for medications; as a result, a whole country has been conditioned to think that they need medications to solve their health. (18:00) This only places more demands on doctors, who are already limited on time and their approach. Vinnie reminds us that we will financially break under our own weight. NATURE WILL SAVE US Vinnie chimes in with an update on his cardio goals for this year. He's very close, but he also isn't going to stop when he reaches his goal! (27:10) He also brings up the recent challenge he participated in based on what he heard on the Adam Carolla show. (28:20) He describes what he did, and it included unplugging for 24 hours. He describes what his big takeaway is and how freeing it was. Anna emphasizes that Nature will save us! As they wrap up the show, Vinnie and Anna chat about how grateful they are for the outpouring of support about adding a fee to the NSNG® e-book.

Episode 2223 - On this Sunday's show, Vinnie Tortorich and Gina Grad talk about fast initial weight loss, how your liver keeps score, and "white knuckling" it all, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/your-liver-keeps-score-episode-2223 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOUR LIVER KEEPS SCORE Gina is excited as she continues to lose weight with steady progress. (1:25) Vinnie chats about one of his brothers who has been struggling with weight loss for years. (4:00) His brother is always focusing on how much initial weight loss he loses but then struggles when the numbers slow down. A lot of people struggle because of unrealistic expectations; as a result, Vinnie tries to help with their perspective. Gina reminds us that "perfect is the enemy of good." Vinnie is reminded of a story he has about Adam Carolla and how the conversation and excuses build up. Small bites turn into big cheats, and your liver doesn't have a chance to level out. Your liver keeps score and doesn't care what your brain tries to justify. Vinnie and Gina chat about certain folks and their habits, which are only ways of "white knuckling" through things, instead of just keeping NSNG and being truly sated. (13:15) This reminds Gina of her recent anniversary dinner with her husband and how they enjoyed some great food and were satisfied without having to go all in on the NSNG® items.(18:325) They chat a little further about some Los Angeles dining and a particularly magical salad.

Episode 2222 - On this Saturday's show, Vinnie Tortorich welcomes listener Phyllis Udice and they chat about her success on NSNG®, her transition to carnivore, food freedom, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/10/food-freedom-episode-2222 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN FOOD FREEDOM Vinnie welcomes Phyllis to the show and comments on what an inspiration her before and after photos are. (1:30) She didn't have a lot to lose, but the difference is amazing and she looks both healthy and younger. Phyllis shares her back story of some of her struggles with weight and self-image growing up. (4:00) She did all the different diets starting at a young age. She was always worried about food and what she could and couldn't have. Being on NSNG®, she's noticed how dramatically her body composition has changed for the better. Vinnie and Phyllis discuss food addiction and its challenges. (8:15) She has read all the books by low-carb doctors and others so she is constantly learning. Being educated about the topic has helped her realize she will never go back to her previous way of eating. Phyllis describes how her health has improved with NSNG®: as a result, it helped her discover some food triggers. (16:00) She transitioned to carnivore, just to experiment, and she loves the way she feels. She has discovered food freedom and describes what she means by that. Vinnie understands what she means by that and has his own story to tell. (21:15) They also chat about how being surrounded by those who support you is so helpful. They discuss leading by example rather than preaching to others. Speaking of leading by example, Phyllis has a son who has improved his weight and health as well. (31:45) The conversation switches to old cereal ads and other ads that set a "standard of beauty"; consequently, they had negative effects in various ways. (34:00) Those were standards that made many people feel that they could never measure up. Phyllis needs to be celebrated!

Episode 2221 - On this Friday's show, Vinnie Tortorich speaks to Dr. Lisa Strohman about how some technology and social media have led to kids being "half-baked", how much of it creates disconnection not connection, the ill effects of certain social media, and more. http://vinnietortorich.com/half-baked-disconnected-dr-lisa-strohman-episode-2221 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN HALF-BAKED Vinnie welcomes Dr. Lisa to the show, who is the author of two books, Unplug and Digital Distress. Vinnie starts by telling Dr. Lisa about what he observed at the gym recently when a young man literally couldn't put his phone down. (2:30) So many people are dependent on their phones, but he doesn't want his life ruled by a 2" x 4" piece of glass! (7:00) Vinnie says kids are "half-baked" and what he means by that. Dr. Lisa agrees; kids do not have a real sense of self without having external affirmation; as a result, everything is distorted. (8:00) Kids don't understand tech as a mere tool. She has witnessed the psychology behind the use of certain technology. Dr. Lisa talks about the psychological profiling of the two teens behind the Columbine shooting in 1999. (11:40) This is a mental health problem--the disconnect is very real; many kids don't even know how to make eye contact. (17:20) She reviews some of the issues that impact kids at younger and younger ages. The addiction-reward neural pathway is getting activated early on. Vinnie shares an uncomfortable story about a teen he used to know years ago. (19:40) Dr. Lisa shares what she knows about how insidious "ad bundles" lure kids in. (23:20) DISCONNECTED They also chat about what they observe at places like restaurants, as well as how body image and filters are distorting reality and expectations. (30:00) The conversation turns to social media and the messages people see and respond to. (53:30) Vinnie gives the example of treatment between Lizzo vs. Adele. They chat about trending and how being negative gets you seen more; there is desperation to be relevant. The art of conversation, connection, and communication are getting lost. Vinnie asks Dr. Lisa what we can do. (47:30) Dr. Lisa gives several examples, including what she has done with her children. Many parents have given up because it's easier to hand over the device than to step up. She explains how devices are stealing children away from their parents. They also discuss the hyper-sexualization of girls and boys at younger ages and how they become brazen in their behavior. (52:45) Dr. Lisa and Vinnie talk about some of the trends, and how they affect standards of behavior towards one another, especially sexual behavior. They transition to the early days of online dating and today's online culture of dating apps and what it means to "swipe." (1:05:00) She talks about how some of her clients she see often deal with emotional issues from rejection. Ghosting is rude. Vinnie invites Dr. Lisa back as this is her specialty--dealing with the psychological challenges of tech and life online.

Episode 2220 - On this Wednesday's show, Vinnie Tortorich and return guest Lacey (Lucy X) chat about an update and a challenge: Lacy's workplace happenings, weight loss medications, a challenge from Adam Carolla, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/10/update-challenge-episode-2220 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN AN UPDATE & A CHALLENGE Vinnie welcomes back Lacey (not her real name, just like her other non-real names, Lucy X and Ms. Sierra). Vinnie asks her to recap her own personal success story and how it made her question her job at Noom. (1:30) They chat about some of the discrepancies, monthly costs, and how the company is pivoting in its methods. They also chat about the small cost of Vinnie's Intro to NSNG® e-book, and how it compares to programs like Weight Watchers and others. Ten dollars for Vinnie's e-book is not "nickel and dimeing"! Noom is now trying to incorporate medicines (GLP-1) into its program! (13:50) Noom is even contradicting itself in what it says works. So many of these drugs are simply dangerous and don't live up to the hype. Vinnie lets out an audible sigh. He has had enough. Vinnie switches up the conversation to chat about a challenge Adam Carolla proposed. (26:20) Vinnie has already stepped up! He encourages others to do similar and smacks down all of Lacey's excuses about doing that kind of challenge, too. It's a great habit to unplug and get out in nature without any kind of electronics.

Vinnie and Gina discuss regional weather and how it affects activity. (3:00) Gina notes that she is a person who is less hungry with more activity.

Episode 2216 - On this Friday's show, Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dr. Stephen Cunnane and they discuss brain development and fats, taking care of your brain, supplements, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/taking-care-your-brain-dr-stephen-cunnane-episode-2216 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN TAKING CARE OF YOUR BRAIN Vinnie starts the show by sharing how he heard about Dr. Stephen Cunnane through Dr. Mary Newport, who has been on the show recently. (1:45) Dr. Steven Cunnane talks a bit about his book, Survival of the Fattest: The Key to Human Brain Evolution The book discusses brain development in babies and the need for healthy fats. (6:00) It also discusses how various nutrients play the part in various ways in human evolution. The big question Vinnie and Stephen discuss is: are you taking care of your brain? (15:00) Or are you letting it rot with what you are eating? Vinnie's interest in the brain comes from taking years of beatings playing football; as a result, he's curious about CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy). (16:00) Stephen says it's never too late to be able to make improvements; the question becomes "what can you do"? (21:25) Part of the challenge is the parameters given to doctors that make them hesitant to suggest low-carb. Mark Cucazzella is brought up as an example. The two discuss the movie "First Do No Harm", by Jim Abrams of the Charlie Foundation. (25:05) Charlie's doctors wanted to give him a lobotomy for his seizures; instead, they controlled his epilepsy with the ketogenic diet. They also discuss Eric Westman, Jeff Volek, Steve Phinney, Tim Noakes, and others and what an important part they play in low-carb science. They switch to discuss certain limitations of the current healthcare systems. (29:50) Certain low-carb doctors are walking away from standard practice so they can actually practice health care and not sick care. ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS Vinnie and Stephen also discuss what zinc and other minerals are optimal for the brain and how they help. (34:10) They discuss iodine, zinc, selenium, and certain deficiencies. They chat about the best sources of various nutrients. More is not always better, and Dr. Cunnane explains why. Don't over-intellectualize it: just eat sensibly. The conversation leads to a discussion about omega fatty acids, cholesterol, and ketones, and how the brain needs them. (46:30) There is still plenty to learn about cognitive decline and Alzheimer's; a lot of questions remain! (51:00) But there is more to it than diet and diabetes; social interaction, looking forward to things, and exercise seem to play a part as well in keeping a healthy brain. Conflicts of interest in science and medicine muddy up the waters of good information. (55:00) Dr. Cunnane has been awarded a research chair position at his university; as a result, the research will focus on ketotherapeutics. (1:01:30) They'll be studying ketogenic interventions of all sorts for mental illness, neurodegenerative disorders, and more.
