by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2093 – On this Sunday School episode, Vinnie Tortorich and Gina Grad talk about food poisoning, Guns N’ Roses, travel tips for motion sickness and combating nausea, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

COMBATING NAUSEA

  • Gina had terrible food poisoning last week.
  • She always cooks her meat so that she can’t even worry whether it’s fully cooked.
  • Vinnie’s had food poisoning and salmonella before.
    • He was on the ground with salmonella, so dehydrated.
  • Vinnie likes to travel, but he gets unbelievably nauseous from motion sickness in cars and on planes and boats, and even after spinning around a couple of times.
  • He doesn’t love Dramamine, but he doesn’t want to stop traveling. 
    • The little bracelets didn’t work — neither the electric nor the acupressure. 
  • Now Vinnie uses scopace — he was prescribed this by a doctor.
    • He loves it, in part, because he can drive after landing.
    • They don’t make it anymore, but you can still get it once it’s prescribed at compound pharmacies.
    • This is very different from Zofran, which you use when you’re already throwing up.

Benefits of the Carnivore Diet with Dr. Shawn Baker – Episode 2091

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2091 – On this Friday show, Dr. Shawn Baker joins Vinnie for another appearance and the two talk benefits of the carnivore diet, shredded bodies and lifting, rowing, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

DR. SHAWN BAKER

  • Dr. Baker has been on the show before.
  • He feels that he has been shadow banned on social media because of his views.
    • It seems they prefer the vegan view.
  • But he’s incredibly healthy and his been carnivore for some time.
  • It’s tough because all Dr. Baker does is follow the science.
  • Your political persuasion should not matter: this is about being healthy and feeling good.
  • He is all-in on the carnivore diet, and is also a big rower like Vinnie!

THE CARNIVORE DIET

  • Before it was coined ‘carnivore,’ it was mostly called the zero-carb diet.
    • But Dr. Baker realized “carnivore” was more accessible.
  • He did an n=1 experiment and felt so much better eating this way.
  • Dr. Baker’s diet is 99% animal products.
    • Every once in awhile he puts life into living, but he loves steak for breakfast.
  • This diet also helps those with autoimmune disorders — it’s a sort of healthy, sustainable elimination diet.
  • The more he sees, the more he believes in eating carnivore.
  • Carnivore isn’t for everyone — but for those that like it, they reap the benefits.
  • He doesn’t do the same thing every day.
    • But he likes to have steak and eggs for breakfast and early dinner or late lunch that looks similar.
  • Shawn shoots for highly nutritious meals that are tasty and satiating.
  • He is 6’5″ and 240 and might eat a dozen eggs and three lbs of meat in a day.
    • Vinnie compares his body to Gronk — except Dr. Baker’s is better at 55 years old. 
    • This is certainly not the norm — most people need way, way less.

BEST OF: Lifestyle-Based Intervention with Dr. Bret Scher – Episode 2090

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2090 – On this BEST OF Wednesday show from May 2021, Dr. Bret Scher and Vinnie talk learning from your clients, nutritional advice, properly interpreting cholesterol numbers, the sugar and grain industries, lifestyle-based intervention, the Diet Doctor, your body’s use of fat, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

DR. BRET SCHER

  • Dr. Scher has been on the show before.
  • Like Vinnie, he has a podcast and does consults.
  • He is an excellent cardiologist.
  • There are methods that will help a majority of people, but you tinker those methods to the individual.
    • This is what makes consults so rewarding and keeps Dr. Scher and Vinnie learning.
  • Some doctors stick to conventional wisdom; others want to be on the cutting edge.
    • Doctors who see it the latter way, like they have to keep learning and improving, are usually the better doctors.
  • Like for trainers, doctors receive very little nutritional training.
    • Though doctors don’t usually deal with bro science!

INTERPRETING CHOLESTEROL NUMBERS

  • In the 70s, we looked at a cholesterol number as a whole.
    • This is because we didn’t have the technology.
  • Now, if doctors do that, it is a complete cop-out.
  • We have so much more information.
  • Do NOT feel satisfied by your doctor’s interpretation of the whole number.
  • Look at HDL, look at trigs, look at LDL, look at the LDL break down.

LIFESTYLE-BASED INTERVENTION

  • Guidelines are highly oriented to prescribing medication.
    • Doctors get paid more money to do things quicker, even if medicine is involved.
    • This is why doctors will just prescribe rather than go to lifestyle.
  • Try to find a doctor willing to focus on intervention that is lifestyle-based.
  • Doctors who avoid extremism are usually the ones to trust.

Creating New Sugars – Episode 2089

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2089 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk misbehaving on the internet, creating new sugars, making a difference, staying or getting off of medications, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

CREATING NEW SUGARS

  • There is a patent war over new sugars.
  • They know they haven’t gotten it right.
  • One of them is called tagatose. 
  • They’re saying this is going to be okay for diabetics — this seems oxymoronic.
  • It’s similar to sucrose, and side effects are very similar to things like erythritol. 
    • This doesn’t seem healthy at all.
  • The article also says consumption of more than 30 g (which is something like one coke), will cause gastric disturbance.
    • Clearly, this can’t be good.
  • The sugars don’t even work well and they’re investing billions into it.
  • This makes both Anna and Vinnie sad — they just want people to know the truth and not buy in.
    • Vinnie and Anna vs. billions of dollars. This is a hard battle to fight.
    • We want to make a difference.

Misleading BMI – Episode 2088

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2088 – On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad joins Vinnie Tortorich and the two talk misleading BMI, cholesterol numbers, heart disease, smoking, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

MISLEADING BMI

  • Body mass index is generally a pretty inaccurate measure.
  • The calipers don’t work.
  • And often, the information can just be misleading.
  • Those who are muscly might have a higher BMI.
    • Vinnie has seen so many silly BMI NUMBERS because of this.
  • And just because you have a lower BMI does not necessarily mean you are healthy.
  • Gina was told she was very overweight based on her BMI.
    • She felt dejected and terrible.
    • Vinnie says: this is not an accurate or meaningful measure.
      • He KNOWS she is not overweight like she was told based on her BMI!
    • It doesn’t take into account so many important variables.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

STICKING TO RESOLUTIONS

  • Resolutions are tough.
  • A lot of people struggle to keep them.
  • Vinnie struggled to adhere to what he gave up for lent as a college student!
  • But he’s been very good at sticking to New Years resolutions.
  • Often he’ll do “no life into living” years, which means he does not eat anything that isn’t NSNG®.
  • This year, Vinnie committed to do an hour of aerobics each day.
    • He’s front loaded a lot because he has a surgery coming up and such.
  • Another goal was creating his boat with his own hands!

KAYAKING
