Episode 2079 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk taco bowls recipes, the importance of spice, how STATINS aren’t a cure, finding thorough medical care, and more.
TACO BOWLS
- Check out the video of this podcast on YouTube.
- You can watch Anna make a taco bowl.
- She’s using the whole hour, but really it only takes 15-20 minutes to make.
- Don’t drain the liquid off of your meat.
- Get all that good fat!Â
- 75/25 grass fed ground beef is the way to go.
- Taco bowls/salads are a great, easy and flavorful meal.
- Vinnie likes them in the morning, too.
- Anna makes her own salsa for these bowls.
- And her own taco seasoning!
- Spices will keep your meals interesting.
- She starts with olive oil to cook her veggies — if she’s just doing the meat, she won’t add oil first.
- Radishes can give you some crunch.
STATINS AREN’T A CURE
- Vinnie would suggest trying to find a doctor who will help you avoid STATINS.
- There is so much misinformation about cholesterol numbers out there and what constitutes healthy cholesterol numbers.
- You need cholesterol, and having a high number isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Â
- In fact, your brain needs cholesterol to function — or it will make more!
- If you really wanna figure out if your cholesterol is good, ‘total cholesterol’ is not the number to look at.
- A good ratio is very important!
- Doctors then push STATINS on people without looking further into their numbers.
- They’re even prescribing them prophylactically.
- Even great doctors do this, they’re just following the charts.
- They’re even prescribing them prophylactically.
- STATINS might keep your cholesterol artificially in a ‘good’ range, but it’s a Band-Aid — not a cure.
