PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

TERRI’S JOURNEY

  • Terri is based out of Colorado.
    • She’s waiting for more snow.
  • She was always reasonably heavy.
    • At around age 21, she worked in Grand Canyon, and still gained 60 lbs in 9 months.
    • At the time, her doctor just told her to cut down on the peanut butter.
    • This weight gain occurred while she was active each day.
    • The diet was made up of lots of Mexican food (rice and beans), lots of margaritas, heavy carbs.
  • She continued gaining weight, and developed diabetes, was on statins, and the like.
  • When she was type 2, around 2012, her A1C was 13.3.
    • Then, she ballooned up from there.

TURNING LIFE AROUND

  • In about 2016, she was diagnosed with two separate types of cancer that were unrelated within two months.
  • She had kidney cancer and bone cancer in her opposite leg.
  • Her kidney surgery happened first, and then she underwent leg surgery.
  • At that point, she heard cancer would kill her or at least take her leg.
  • She had metal parts.
  • Terri then found a doctor who told her she needed to lose 100 lbs. or he would put her on full time oxygen.
    • Weight Watchers didn’t work.
    • Then, she found NSNG®.
    • She went all in, and it changed her life.
  • It took Terri a few weeks to figure out where her good intentions were being stolen.
  • She got off all of her insulin within six weeks.
  • She had other incredible developments, along with her weight loss, too.
  • Terri feels this way of living saved her life.

    • The timing wasn’t great with the documentary coming out soon.
  • He felt like he was living like the Walton’s! You wanna warm up? Go outside and start moving around.

  • They mostly went for pheasants.
  • He wore a tie and the long socks and the whole thing.
  • Something else that amazed them is how they drink so early in the morning!

THE VOGELS

  • Bill and Chris met on Match.com.
  • They fell in love and it’s been a great story ever since.
  • Bill says he convinced her to date him!
  • For Chris, she knew she wanted to get married again so she seriously surveyed the apps.
  • Bill and Christy talked on the phone a lot and then realized they had to meet.

DEAFNESS AND CANCER

  • Like Vinnie, Chris had hearing problems at an early age.
    • Chris’s problem was discovered at school when she failed the hearing tests.
    • She didn’t receive her first hearing aids until she was an adult.
      • She went through life without hearing much until she was established, and only then did she realize how much she was missing.
    • Until then, people thought Chris was slow — but that wasn’t the case . . . she just couldn’t hear!
  • And like Vinnie, Bill battled serious cancer.
    • He had leukemia and non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
    • Fasting made a world of difference for him — quite literally.
    • Bill is fortunate that he is living with this ‘uncurable’ cancer and is doing very well.

DR. ANTHONY CHAFFEE

  • He is a neurosurgeon with a focus on nutrition.

  • He has done a lot of work studying what the best nutrition for athletes is.
  • Check out more here: https://www.acnem.org/dr-anthony-chaffee-nem-practitioner-series/
  • He is carnivorous, like Shawn Baker.

SERVING IMPOVERISHED COUNTRIES

  • Importantly, he’s also served as a refugee camp doctor in a Rohingya camp.
  • Not many doctors do this, but it was important for Dr. Chaffee.
  • You start a clinic, and you do what you can — even if it’s dangerous, and it is.
  • Part of it is teaching local doctors.

NUTRITION FOR ATHLETES 

  • Growing up, both Vinnie and Dr. Chaffee heard that if you’re an athlete you eat red meat . . . but also carbs.
  • Vinnie realized early on that meat improved performance.
  • Dr. Chaffee, an All-American rugby player, eats a carnivore diet.
  • As an athlete, he saw the difference diet can make on performance and recovery.
  • He has since dedicated much of his practice to nutrition, and now does consultations focusing on low carb and largely carnivorous diets for his patients.
  • Much of this has to do with reducing inflammation.

BEST OF: A Nation of Sick People with Nina Teicholz – Episode 2010

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2010 – On this Wednesday episode, we play a Best Of, featuring Nina Teicholz from mid-2021. Vinnie and Nina talk Nina’s work, combatting a nation of sick people, “science” in nutrition, social media gatekeeping, saturated fats, the environment and cows, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

A NATION OF SICK PEOPLE

  • We are a nation of sick people.
    • Nina wanted to find out why.
  • There’s an incredible bad science foundation.
    • In the 1950s, we had the runaway train of bad advice: that fat was bad.
      • It could never be proven true, yet we continue with them.
  • Check out her book which discusses this: https://ninateicholz.com/about/the-big-fat-surprise/.
    • Nina talks about good fat vs. bad fat and all the myths in that space.
  • It talks about animals, politics, culture, and more.
  • When Nina had to start writing on this, it forced her to adopt a mindset different than the one she held.
    • She was used to the CICO, low fat, vegetarian mentality.
      • However, since she learned about low carb, high fat, she’s gotten healthier and lost weight.
  • It’s hard to combat this when there’s so much censoring of the keto community.

SATURATED FATS

  • We’ve come to demonize sat fats.
  • However, the science largely doesn’t support this.
  • A lot of Nina’s work focuses on this.
  • So many of the scientists who have debunked the BS have not received the acclaim they should.

PRE-ORDER BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE

  • Vinnie’s new documentary is now available for pre-order on Apple TV (iTunes).
  • This is his third documentary in just over three years.
    • He thought about distributing this movie himself, but Gravitas loved it so much that they partnered up again.
  • It will be available on January 11th. 
  • Vinnie wants this to reach the people who have begun vegetarianism or veganism because they care about their health and want to be healthy, but have thus far been lied to.
    • All of this processed crap is not the healthy option, and this documentary explains why.
  • Here is the link to the pre-order: http://bit.ly/beyondimpossibleitunes

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS

  • Happy New Year! This is the first Monday of the New Year — time to commit to your resolutions, no more excuses.
  • For Vinnie, resolutions are about giving up something or doing something positive for his health.
  • Vinnie’s resolution is to commit to a project.
    • He thought about building a Porsche, but now it’s looking like making a kayak.
      • He wants to be able to say “I made this.”
  • It was important for Vinnie to do something new for his resolution this year.
  • Anna loves the book called Your Best Year Yet to look for resolutions.
    • You write down your successes and triumphs as well as your failures, what went wrong, and what you learned from it from the previous year.
    • It helps you determine where your strengths and weaknesses are. 
      • Then, pick three paradigms. You might be able to work on patterns.
  • Make your resolution about your health, if you see fit!

BUILDING HABITS

  • Most resolutions end in January.
  • So, make sure your goal or resolution is attainable.
  • And understanding setting the goal or resolution is not enough on its own to establish a habit.
  • You can do this — make sure you’re really mentally committing for the whole year.
