The Straight and Narrow – Episode 2104

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2104 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk crazy veganism, common phone calls, walking the straight and narrow to fix metabolic disorder, the effects of alcohol, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

CRAZY VEGANISM

  • One of the bad parts of veganism is the ‘splainers.
  • They spend all their time talking about how they and the way they’re living is better.
  • That’s all they talk about — and it’s an attempt at indoctrination.
  • It’s unsolicited proselytizing. 

COMMON PHONE CALLS

  • Vinnie does lots of phone consults.
  • There are three common types:
    • 1. Am I doing this right?
    • 2. I feel like I’m “plateauing.”
    • 3. I’m doing well about this, but what about life into living?
  • People feel like this is working but they have common trouble.
  • Schedule a call with him if you need some one-on-one consulting.

THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW

  • It can be tough to keep with it strictly.
  • Anna and Vinnie both suggest going all in for 60 to 120 days.
  • Sometimes people want to cut corners or change things up in a way that’s not 
  • For lots of people who are metabolically damaged, eating things like tropical fruit are making deals with themselves.
    • This is something that caused a problem from the start –– sugar –– so stay away from it.
      • No excuses and no shortcuts! Especially if you have a sugar addiction.
        • If you’re beating addiction — treat it like any other addiction.
    • Before you know it, you’ll be eating everything unhealthy more often than you’d like.

Bad Diet Fads & More – Episode 2099

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2099 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk Slow Horses, Minnie Driver, bad diet fads and unhealthy ‘health products,’ old-school gyms and the ‘roid’ look, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

BAD DIET FADS

  • There are lots of diet fads that are just money makers for their proprietors.
  • They don’t work – they’re selling crap.
  • Lots of products are marketed as healthy or ‘keto,’ but they’re filled with crap and sweeteners.
    • This is true of many vitamins and supplement products, too.
      • And those are probably filled with seed oils.
  • Try to avoid anything that seems too good to be true, or is just temporary.
  • There aren’t shortcuts, and real, whole food is always better.
  • You also shouldn’t have to pay extra to adapt to a new lifestyle.

OLD-SCHOOL GYMS

  • Vinnie used to go to some pretty old-school gyms and prefers finding gyms like this if he can.
  • Lots of the guys were body-builder types.
  • They’d try to sell PEDs to one another!
  • Anna sees a super roided-up guy at her gym pretty often.
    • And the other day, we were talking about eating quinoa. Of course!

Quicker Recovery with NSNG® – Episode 2097

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2097 – On this Saturday show, Dan Frey joins Vinnie and the two talk building things, running a podcast, quicker recovery from injury and surgery with NSNG®, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

DAN FREY

  • This is Dan’s first appearance on the show!
  • He is a software engineer.
  • And, like Vinnie, he loves building things.
    • His wife will find something she likes on Etsy and ask Dan if he can build it.
      • Dan will say yes and figure it out!
      • Vinnie’s building a kayak for himself right now.
  • Dan has lost 100 lbs!

RUNNING A PODCAST

  • It’s tough to run a podcast.
  • Lots of people want to have their word, but it’s difficult to establish an audience and keep them coming back.
  • This is not easy work or passive income.
  • Sometimes Vinnie still has to pay out of pocket month-to-month.
  • If you want to find success, find an audience and keep them coming 2000+ shows later!
  • Just don’t expect this to be a significant source of income.

QUICKER RECOVERY

  • Dan’s dad needed a hip replacement.
  • His doctor told him that if he lost some weight before his hip shoulder and surgeries, it would help.
  • Then, he went to Dan, and Dan showed him the NSNG® PDF and tried to assure him that what he was doing is correct.
  • His dad was shocked by how good he felt. He had more energy, less inflammation, and lost around 25 lbs.
  • From the time he had his first surgery (on his shoulder), he had incredible recovery within three weeks.
  • He had his hip replaced on March 7.
    • He didn’t really need the painkillers, and didn’t use the cane much.
  • One wouldn’t believe he had his hip replaced two months ago.
    • The doctors were impressed, too.
  • Dan feels this is, of course, because of his lifestyle change and healthy eating.
  • Lots of other people (including Vinnie) have had similar experiences post-op.

Intermittent Fasting Transformation with Cynthia Thurlow – Episode 2096

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2096 – On this Friday show, the wonderful Cynthia Thurlow, Nurse Practitioner, joins Vinnie again, and they talk about the intermittent fasting transformation, cholesterol levels, the harms of statins, and hormones in women, menopause, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

CYNTHIA THURLOW

  • Cynthia is a nurse practitioner. And she’s been on the show before!
  • She realized she wanted to have deep conversations with her patients about nutrition and lifestyle, so she left her job which didn’t promote that.
  • Almost simultaneously, she began talking to many women.
    • These women, like Cynthia, had just been told that they had to accept they’d gain weight in their 40s.
      • Cynthia wasn’t satisfied with this.
  • From here, she did a TEDx Talk which went big, and wrote a book.
    • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_Li_LyPBlc
    • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6Dkt7zyImk
  • She focuses on intermittent fasting in women because most resources do not focus on female physiology or hormones.
  • Cynthia doesn’t want women to feel like they must apologize for being women.

INTERMITTENT FASTING TRANSFORMATION

  • https://cynthiathurlow.com/book/
    • Jason Fung wrote an endorsement of the book.
  • Many women feel slaves to their scale, to counting calories, and to their treadmill.
  • Cynthia believes this is very destructive and wanted to figure out sustainable ways to help women feel good about themselves and be healthy.
  • If can be a great way for women to lose and then sustain their weight.
  • Approaching health and medicine holistically is so very important.
  • She realized many of her patients’ total cholesterol levels were very low and they were on statins.
    • This is a marker of morbidity and health issues.
    • For diabetics, she found that statins could hurt.
    • We need cholesterol for our bodies to live and build.
  • Fasting in women, we need to lean into our physiology.
    • For example, things are different for women during their menstrual cycles.
    • Estrogen and progesterone are important and make a big difference.

Channeling Enthusiasm – Episode 2095

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2095 – On this Wednesday show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie Tortorich and the two talk catching up with vitamin orders, channeling enthusiasm into your goals and passions, come-from-behind stories, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

VITAMIN ORDERS

  • We are currently catching up on orders.
  • Some of the ingredients in our vitamins were not available, and there wasn’t much we could do.
  • That’s why Andy isn’t on the show today – he’s busy making things right and keeping PVC on track.

CHANNELING ENTHUSIASM

  • If you’re enthusiastic and committed, you can come from behind and succeed.
  • You have to jump in to what you really want.
    • Many people do this with NSNG® — they have come from behind stories.
      • Some of these folks have lost ~300 lbs.
  • These stories don’t just come in the form of health stories.
    • Think of the making of The Godfather.
    • Have in mind trying for that goal you’ve always wanted to achieve.
    • Consider a passion you’d like to better commit to.
  • You have to be unwilling to quit. You have to not say no.
  • Put life into living, and do it with enthusiasm!

The Quest For Health – Episode 2094

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2094 – On this  Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich discuss saying goodbye to Guam, post-op recovery, and Rina joins them to talk carnivore, the quest for health, edutaining, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

POST-OP RECOVERY

  • Vinnie had a growth ‘down there.’
  • He called it Guam — he took care of it, but it didn’t have full rights, etc.
  • After many years, he found a great urologist and had it removed recently.
  • We say goodbye to Guam! This was just an elective surgery because it got too uncomfortable.
  • He had a drain and had to get checked out.
  • Vinnie feels great, all things considered. He’s grateful this way of living reduces inflammation.

THE QUEST FOR HEALTH

  • Rina has a fabulous YouTube channel.
    • https://www.youtube.com/c/The5MinuteBody
  • She tries to edutain — make educational videos that people also enjoy!
  • Rina has tried various lifestyles and is open to learning more.
  • She has had a wonderful experience with carnivore.
  • Over time, she’s gotten fitter and fitter.
    • But she started small, and that was important for her.
