Controlling Leptin with Dr. Ron Rosedale

by Vinnie Tortorich

Dr. Ron Rosedale, nutritional and metabolic expert, joins Vinnie Tortorich on this special 2-hour Friday edition of the Angriest Trainer podcast to discuss what to eat, when to eat, and how to control the big weight hormone that often allows sugar to kill us: leptin.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

WHO IS ROSEDALE?

  • Founder of schools for metabolic research
  • Researches diabetes, aging, leptin, insulin, one’s metabolism,
  • Says a “disease is caused not by the breakdown of the part itself, but interference in the instructions to that part, a disruption in the unity of the whole”
  • The Rosedale diet
    • Believes NSNG is the way to go, although an apple or an occasional sweet treat will not kill you or be the cause of an issue
    • Book here

LEPTIN AND DIET

  • Leptin, a brain hormone, controls when you eat, how much, and how full you feel
  • This hormone causes you not to burn fat as fuel
  • Therefore, one has to control one’s leptin levels to help their metabolism
  • Our high carb, low fat diet compared to other countries really hurts our hearts and diabetes and such

How to Politely Refuse Unhealthy Food

by Vinnie Tortorich

  • Trans-fats will stop your heart — CSPI put this in your french fries
    • Used to be cow fat
  • The panel did not give advice on red meat but did ‘give warning’
    • “Long discouraged the consumption of processed red meat”
      • The sugar and grains lobby has been the one behind this all

UVA

Should You Take Psyllium?

by Vinnie Tortorich

Alex White from Australia joins Vinnie Tortorich on this Saturday’s Listener Question podcast!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR

  • Pure Vitamin Club

NEWSLETTER NEWS

  • No newsletter for awhile because Vinnie has been so busy
  • Working on new PVC vitamin
  • Been traveling and is now preparing for India Trip
  • New newsletter soon!

ALEX WHITE

  • He found NSNG because his dad, who is a hardcore cyclist, is NSNG
  • Alex is 29, his father is 60
  • Alex is a butcher
    • Much different than the propaganda videos portray it (much more humane in reality)
  • Cattle are a good example of the fact that carbs, and grain, make mammals fat!

ARE PSYLLIUM HUSK DRINKS OKAY?

  • It is very fibrous
  • The amount of carb that is connected to it is cancelled out because of the fiber
  • Vinnie always asks people: Why do you need psyllium?
    • All psyllium does is build up bulk in your bowels
  • Drinks like Metamucil tend to be bad because of sugar or artificial sweeteners
    • This is a no!
  • If you do not need it, wean yourself off slowly to avoid constipation
