A Trickle-Down Effect

  • After chatting about music and Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, Vinnie and Gina chat about “learned helplessness”. (2:00)
    • Vinnie recalls when he first noticed advertising using negative messaging as men being dumb. (9:30)
    • Both hosts share stories about changing flat tires.
  • Gina tells Vinnie about what she has heard about ketchup and frosting. (15:00)
    • Vinnie explains sugar trickling during ultras and mountain climbing. (17:30)
    • He also addresses ketchup for this; the ingredients have a lot of sugar so it doesn’t surprise him that it would be used this way.
  • But he is NOT advocating having these items all the time—he suggests getting fat-adapted. (18:30)
    • He doesn’t recommend bars or goos or any of that; he has used just Life Saver candies.
    • There are only certain situations where he considered sugar trickling and he’s very specific.
    • But it doesn’t change the fact that frosting and ketchup made with sugar are not healthy.
    • You should be able to do your workouts fat-adapted. (23:30)
  • Don’t forget about Vinnie’s new subscription community. You can find out more by going to https://vinnietortorich.com/VIP.
  • Gina has a new Instagram @myextrafamily and a new website, https://myextraseries.com.
