Overcoming Carbohydrate Addiction – Episode 1976

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1976 – On this Friday show, Anna Vocino goes one-on-one with Vinnie, and the two talk Howie Mandel, aerobic activity, overcoming carbohydrate addiction, the danger of diet mentality, crunch, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

OVERCOMING CARBOHYDRATE ADDICTION

  • Don does a lot of climbing with Vinnie.
  • When they did Mont Blanc, Don was the heavy guy.
    • He could still climb as well as the rest.
    • But, the guides look at him and thought he was obese.
  • When he’s with Vinnie, he eats clean.
    • However, as soon as Vinnie’s nephews pulled out the Swedish Fish, Don was all in.
  • He has a sugar and carb addiction.
  • Don would do 70 hours of aerobics a month, but remained morbidly obese.
  • About two years ago, he tried to fight this addiction.
    • He abstained completely from sugar and grains.
  • Now, Don looks fabulous — slim and trim and he looks as athletic and fit as he is.
  • The only thing Don has to do is continue to fight this addiction.
    • While it isn’t an easy task to start, it becomes much easier with time.
    • Cut all of the crap out and go all in for several weeks, and you will notice the addiction start to fade.
  • Don can now climb to his heart’s content, without his weight literally weighing him down.
  • If you’re pounding the nuts and you feel like you can’t stop eating them, be mindful of that binge-like feeling.

BAD DIET MENTALITY

  • You need to try to beat the diet mentality when breaking the addiction.
    • If you eat something a little carby, try not to think you’ve been ‘bad.’ Just get back on the horse.
      • If you have a pear or something like that, don’t beat yourself up.
  • This is about fueling your body healthily.
  • This isn’t a reward and punishment system.
  • Rather, NSNG® is a way of eating and a lifestyle, not a diet.

Preventing Surgery & Mental Health Crises With Dr. Robert Cywes – Episode 1971

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1971 – On this Friday show, pediatrician and bariatric surgeon Dr. Robert Cywes joins Vinnie to discuss preventing surgery with diet, obesity as a substance abuse problem, mental health crises, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

PREVENTING SURGERY

  • Dr. Cywes is a surgeon.
  • He does many bariatric surgeries — gastric bypass surgeries.
  • However, he only does surgeries when they’re necessary.
  • Surgery is not an alternative to a lifestyle change.
  • We can PREVENT surgeries through lifestyle changes, like healthy, low-carb eating.
  • Dr. Cywes does see a good number of children getting gastric bypass-like surgeries.
    • Surgeries *can* be a necessary step for changing one’s life.
  • But really, we’re seeing kids begin insulin resistance at age 5.
    • THIS is what we need to change.

MENTAL HEALTH CRISES

  • Eating carbohydrates and consuming nicotine are used by kids as way to cope with emotional problems.
  • Many kids use these drugs because they are riddled with anxiety.
  • We can help these feelings — drugs like sugar and nicotine are NOT answers, they just do more harm.
  • We need to discuss the mental health epidemic among young people.
  • Obesity is a substance abuse problem.

Conquering Triathlon – Episode 1962

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1962 – On this Saturday show, Scott King joins Vinnie to share his inspirational story, and the two talk ineffective calorie deficits, skin removal surgery, conquering triathlon, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

SCOTT KING

  • Scott has been on the show before.
  • He realized he had to take action about his morbid obesity when his daughter ran out into the middle of the street and he couldn’t run to catch her.
  • At that time, Scott was 550 lbs.
  • Nothing happened to his daughter, but it was a wake up call.
  • Shortly thereafter, he found Vinnie and other like-minded individuals.
  • He finally started moving around.
  • Scott is 6’1″ 250 lbs now!
  • Last year, he had skin removal surgery which he is grateful for.
    • They took about 10 lbs off.

INEFFECTIVE CALORIE DEFICITS

  • Previously, Scott had tried everything, he thought.
    • Weight Watchers, shakes, CICO, and more. He had a gastric bypass at 552 lbs. and got down to 276. None of it stuck.
      • Scott and so many others yo-yo with CICO. It’s not sustainable. 
  • NSNG® has been the only thing that he’s found really sustainable and has stuck.

CONQUERING TRIATHLON

  • Scott used to be unable to get out of a chair without substantial effort.
  • Now, he’s done his first triathlon.
  • It was a shorter triathlon — he swam indoors 150y, a 10 mile bike, and a 5k run.
    • This is a huge feat.

Improving Metabolic Health with Dr. Philip Ovadia – Episode 1961

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1961 – On this Friday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Dr. Philip Ovadia talk finding accurate information, unhealthy processed foods, improving metabolic health,  COVID-19 and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

DR. PHILIP OVADIA

  • Philip is based out of Florida, but also travels to Memphis often for work.
  • He is a cardiothoracic surgeon.
  • The two most common surgeries he performs are bypass surgeries and surgeries dealing with lung cancer.
    • When it comes to the heart, he’s a plumber.
  • As a heart surgeon, he tries to help his patients understand cholesterol.
    • Just because cholesterol is there when there’s a heart problem, doesn’t mean *it* is causing the problem.

FINDING ACCURATE INFORMATION

  • To some extent, the information you receive is being controlled.
  • With health, the proprietors of the food control the flow of information.
  • Grain companies fund studies, others would have to admit being wrong, and more.
  • Think of all the lies we hear about health every day!
  • And, think of the environmentalists view of meat and how simply wrong that is.
  • Vinnie’s doc will try to tackle some of this misinformation-spreading and gatekeeping.
  • “Experts” are pushing us away from the most important thing in our history with respect to our advancement: meat.
  • Dr. Ovadia tries to get and teach people how to keep themselves healthy.
    • There has never been evidence that processed foods are good for you, but all of these meat substitutes are just that.
  • There’s a way to be a healthy vegan. But you have to be intentional.

IMPROVING METABOLIC HEALTH

  • Dr. Ovadia focuses on the metabolic health of his patients.
  • We can learn so much from this.
  • Over 80% of adults could not meet in-range levels of some measures of this health.
  • There are several good measures of our metabolic health:
    • Blood pressure.
      • If you’re on medication, you’ve already failed.
    • Blood glucose.
    • Cholesterol LDL levels.
    • Waist circumference.
    • Triglycerides.
    • He talks through these markers.
  • Consider asking your doctor about how you match up here, or check out the ranges online.
  • We can improve our metabolic health through our nutrition.

Softening Society – Episode 1960

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1960 – On this Wednesday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Andy Schreiber talk the John Muir Trail, softening society, Vinnie’s work as a personal trainer, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

SOFTENING SOCIETY

  • The John Muir Trail is a fabulous trail.
  • Part of it goes up Mt. Whitney.
  • The easier trail, the “mule way,” was designed for what Muir called the “soft and succulent.”
  • Things have generally gotten softer, and we’ve lost a lot because of it.
  • We’re softer in more sense than one!
  • As people have gotten lazier, many have gotten unhealthier.
    • Think TV dinners!
  • Seed oils and processed foods have hurt us greatly, but so has nonmovement, promoted by technological advancement and the emergence of ‘easier’ ways.
