UNDERCOVER SUGAR

  • Andy saw a FB ad for the Paleo Bakehouse
  • He checked out their website
  • Everything is apparently paleo
  • He found ingredients list on their donuts
    • Their third ingredient was crap, and it only got worse from there
  • “Sugar free” does not mean healthy
  • Evaporated cane juice which is really just sugar
    • By definition, this is REFINED SUGAR
  • Sugar has about 50 names that don’t have the word sugar in there
  • Check out Vinnie’s pdf for a list of all of these undercover sugars
  • Essentially, the government allows these companies to lie
  • Paleo does NOT mean healthy
  • Even more devious, they’re using natural chocolate liqueur which again is going to be sugar
  • They also use honey
  • Basically, sugar on top of sugar on top of sugar without using the word sugar

ANTHONY JAY

  • Anthony’s brother, Nick, was on last Saturday show!
    • He is an amazing guy, and also in the health care business
  • He is the author of Estrogeneration: How Estrogenics are Making You Fat, Sick, and Infertile
  • He looks at raw DNA code and looks at Detox genes
    • How does your liver get rid of toxins?
    • Some people can’t rid themselves of aluminum and the like easily, whereas others can, for example
  • First looked at animal genes, then got a real interest in human genes and DNA consults
    • Helps a lot of pro athletes as well
  • Works for Mayo Clinic
  • He analyzed Vinnie’s genes

VINNIE’S GENES

  • Vinnie’s body washes out salts more than the average person
  • He has to drink extra water and eat extra salt as a result
    • Part of the reason Ultra Salt exists
  • Needs more Vitamin D than normal
    • Both of his parents likely have Vitamin D deficiency
      • PVC also has a Vitamin D supplement!
  • Genetically disposed to caring about others more
  • Slightly weaker bones
  • He would likely get muscle damage from statins
    • Just ANOTHER reason not to buy into statins
  • Long telomeres — good for life expectancy
  • Red wine can improve his heart!
  • Coumadin resistant
    • His mom should be checked too seeing as she receives this drug and she may be resistant
  • He actually has a decreased sensitivity to fructose, including its taste and how much his body take it up
  • His genes suggest he may want to avoid high lactose
    • However, he doesn’t feel he does
  • Adderal and the like would make him go crazy
  • Slow metabolizer of caffeine — stays in his body longer
  • Most people can overcome most genetic weaknesses with the right diet and lifestyle

MARIE TORTORICH

  • Marie makes an appearance on this show!
  • She loves all her four sons equally
  • Mark likely was a better football player
  • Vinnie was a great baseball player but his shoulder was too injured by football in highschool
  • Her husband and Vinnie’s dad, Cy, has picked up the sax again!
    • He used to be a studio player

FAT DOC

POWER OF PHOTOSHOP

  • After the episode where Vinnie discussed Oprah, people talked about her more on the FB group
  • A lot of the photos of her are completely photoshopped
  • So wrong to say eating bread can make you thin, and photoshop your own photos to ‘prove’ it
  • At least show real results if you’re misinforming people!
  • Photoshop is sadly a very powerful tool

DIET PLATEAUS

  • When people do NSNG, they freak out when they plateau
  • They assume this means its just like every other bad diet in which you plateau then fail
  • However, often plateauing in NSNG just means you need to make a little change or give it some more time
  • Consults are great to figure out what to tweak
  • Consulting the FB group can also help
  • Also, a lot of the time you may lose weight and still lose inches or have clothes fitting better
  • It’s normal to lose some weight and have several weeks of nothing
  • Most important thing if you feel better
  • If you’re plateauing for a couple months or more, that’s when you really need to look into the specifics of what you’re doing
  • Some examples of reasons for pleateaus
    • Salad dressings
    • Too much of a good thing (too much HWC in too many cups of coffee)
    • Many other reasons!

KATY SULLIVAN

  • Katy is amazing
  • She’s been on the show back in the old days
    • Buy old shows for just a couple bucks a month to hear her on with Anna and Vinnie!
  • Katy is a bilateral above-the-knee amputee
    • Actually, it is congenital
  • A US Paralympic athlete, Katy is an amazing runner
    • Ran in a few track events and did incredibly well
    • Had a couple pounds to lose to improve her performance
      • She was already exercising so much (multiple times a day) — instructed to eat incorrectly by a nutritionist
  • After London, she retired and was not exercising NEARLY as much as she was
    • It was just a lifestyle change that truly helped her succeed
    • NSNG was the answer
      • The weight she needed to lose before came RIGHT off, despite the lack of exercise
    • Dropping carbs felt effortless, and so Katy reached out and found Vinnie
  • Now, Katy primarily swims for exercise
    • She pounded down her body when training for the paralympics
    • The impact was tough on her back, so swimming is low impact and great!
    • Also a big hand-cycler and into body weight resistance
  • Katy will be in the Fat Doc to share her story
