FAT DOC

  • Ivor has agreed to be part of Vinnie’s upcoming Fat Doc
  • Vinnie, and Ivor, are lightning rods
  • Vinnie’s received funding offers from the meat, egg, etc, industry
    • However, we know that people on the other side are already going to fight this, so we won’t give them ammo to claim that this doc is “biased” due to its funding
  • Therefore, we need to raise money!
  • We’ll invite the Michael Gregers of the world on here, and have an open forum
  • “By the people, for the people” film

IVOR CUMMINS

  • Recently, Ivor was on the primetime Irish channel in which he debated for Low Carb/Keto lifestyle
  • He was essentially attacked, but fought back and really made them squirm because he was so good and right
  • The people who run the program attack anyone who isn’t on their side
  • Ivor knew he’d be attacked, ran with it, and really seemed to come out the victor
    • By the end of the video, and after the video, the host began to realize he was making some sense and her tone totally changed
  • Check out the embedded video below, or at this link
  • Doctors today are often incredibly confused
    • They’re taught certain things, and it is hard for many to go against what is ingrained in their lives and education
  • Watch Ivor’s amazing video, the Cholesterol Conundrum, which explains our perception vs. the truth about cholesterol here
  • He and Dr. Gerber have a new book out!

 

The Dangers of Overly-Safe Playgrounds – Episode 1065

by Vinnie Tortorich

 : Episode 1065 – Vinnie and Andy talk PVC and PCC customer service, replacement products, and the evolution of playgrounds to a point where kids are too protected on this Wednesday show.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

PLAYGROUNDS

  • Playgrounds have changed drastically over the past few decades
  • Back in the day:
    • See saws used to be quite dangerous
    • 8 or 10′ metal disk as a Merri-Go-Round
      • If your leg got caught in there, you’re screwed
    • 5 or 6 level high monkey bars over concrete
    • Stand alone, not sturdy swing sets
    • There weren’t adults saying “no, stop, be careful, don’t do that!”
  • Nowadays, kids are certainly safer but often too protected
    • There are a lot of articles about this
    • NYT has an article
    • Playgrounds may be too safe
    • Children need to encounter risks and overcome risks
    • It is good for a kid to skin a knee and the like – it makes them tough and helps them understand danger
  • We need kids to go outside and play more in general
    • Less screen time, more outdoor time

Zone 2 Changes and the Fat Documentary- Episode 1059

by Vinnie Tortorich

 : Episode 1059 – Anna joins Vinnie this Monday, and the two talk the Indiegogo campaign for the new Fat Doc (donate here!), Vinnie’s new great hire, Scott Mulvaney, Zone 2 changes, Anna’s water fast, and more!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

FAT DOCUMENTARY

  • This doc is not about NSNG
  • It is about how we got to this point, where everyone is fat following the US’s guidelines
  • Vinnie wants to get the best folks in the industry to talk what went wrong
  • He wants to break walls down because this often seems like a political issue
  • We need to get the ball rolling!
  • We’re going to get this on places like Amazon, Netflix, airline TVs, etc.
  • Anna herself made a generous contribution!
  • ANY amount counts
  • If you can’t give monetarily, please please please share with all of your friends
  • We are almost halfway to our goal
    • over 900 backers, over $63,000!

ZONE 2 CHANGES

  • The rough calculation of Zone 2 takes into consideration your age
  • With each year you age, hypothetically you’d take a number off of your Zone 2
  • You don’t need to change your Zone 2 overnight
  • Particularly if you’re in shape, you can add a few beats per minute
  • Zone 2 is most fat burning (not glycogen burning) and O2 using
  • If you are just walking quickly, DO THAT!
  • Don’t worry about looking “lame” because you’re not running super fast or lifting incredibly quickly in order to stay in Zone 2
    • Gotta get over that pretty quickly

by Vinnie Tortorich

: Episode 1057 – Listener and Kiwi athlete Mark Thomson joins Vinnie this Saturday, and the two talk the new Fat Doc, helping those who want help, Mark’s NSNG story, and more!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

HELPING THOSE WHO WANT HELP

  • People will use an exception to make a rule
  • For example, “Asian people eat rice, why aren’t they fat?”
    • They eat incredibly healthily otherwise!
    • Lots of fish, vegetables, etc
  • If people don’t want to believe something, it’s hard to convince them
  • Vinnie is here to help people who want help
  • Hopefully, his documentary will help others realize they want the help
  • Vinnie is not going to be making money off of his doc, but he feels this message is so important!
    • Many want help but don’t know the truth

MARK THOMSON

  • Mark ate everything growing up
  • He is incredibly sport-oriented
  • He was gaining weight while doing hours of kayaking and biking a day
  • NSNG allowed that weight gain to stop
  • He is now healthier than ever and still kayaking and biking a ton
  • Heard Tim Noakes and it made a lot of sense to him
    • A familiar story
  • Mark sea kayaks!
    • Works on his own boats, as well
