SMART FITNESS

  • You can learn how to work out better, more efficiently, to keep your body in tip-top shape.
  • Look at yourself in a mirror, watch videos of proper technique, and the like.
  • Practice makes permanent; not perfect.
  • It’s important to get and stay in shape as you get older. Don’t be afraid to adjust your routine.

BATTLING CANCER

  • Recently, Oscar was diagnosed with multiple myeloma quite late in the game.
    • After finishing a river race, he suddenly felt a pain in his back.
      • He went to the doctor once it was significant and consistent and this lead him down a trail whereby he discovered his cancer.
  • He was given 4-6 months to live, but he has beat the odds in this respect.
  • The diagnosis did take him by surprise because Oscar was a very healthful man!
    • He fasted, was incredibly fit, and the like.
  • It took him ages to recover when he was dealing with his sickness and treatments.
    • He’d walk 800 meters and need to rest for 24 hours.
      • But, slowly and surely, he built this back up!

Crazy Diet Books & Stolen Good Intentions – Episode 1929

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1929 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk snakes, Los Angeles, crazy diet books, stolen good intentions, dangerous snacks, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

CRAZY DIET BOOKS

  • Many of these books play on emotion.
  • The books from the 60s and the like are very fat-shaming.
  • They also talk about weight with respect to how your significant other will see you.
  • Really, you should want to lose weight if you are overweight because you’ll get HEALTHIER!
  • You do not have to hate yourself to get thinner — really, you have to love yourself and want to take care of yourself!
  • These diet plans tend to be marketing ploys. 
  • Some of these diet books limit things like brussel sprouts but force you to eat at least three fruits a day.
    • They don’t follow any science; rather, they’re specific enough to be convincing to those who really want to do the right thing.
      • It’s a case of stolen good intentions!

Healthy Meat with Diana Rodgers – Episode 1926

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1926 – On this Friday show, registered dietician Diana Rodgers joins Vinnie to discuss her book and movie, Sacred Cow, elitism and meat, healthy meat, the dangers of veganism, the moderation myth, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

SACRED COW

  • Diana has been on the show before.
  • She is a registered dietician!
  • Additionally, she’s working on the Global Food Justice Alliance.
    • She’s trying to make sure that meat and the like stays in diets.
  • Check out her book and film under the name Sacred Cow.
  • Diana is trying to combat the elitism against meat.
    • Not only is meat healthy, but pulling meat away from people is privileged.

HEALTHY MEAT

  • These days, to say meat is healthy is nearly blasphemous.
  • The fact of the matter — meat IS good for you.
  • And, meat is accessible to most.
  • Meanwhile, meat substitutes are expensive and inaccessible.
  • Beef is the least of the evils when it comes to meet.
  • Many studies that present results counter to this are funded by companies like Barilla.
    • And, the researchers don’t report this crazy conflict of interest.

Fighting Health Misinformation – Episode 1924

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1924 – On this Monday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk fighting health misinformation, the ‘freemium’ model, vegan Cam Newton, super-fan donations, helping your kids with their health, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

FIGHTING HEALTH MISINFORMATION

  • This show is giving away lots of information for free.
  • We love that! That’s how it should be.
  • However, we do need your support: please click through our website to Amazon.
    • It puts coal in the fire.
  • Vinnie thinks this is important enough that he’s willing to give their time and money to it.
  • And others, like Anna and Gina work on this show.
  • Vinnie would be ‘working smarter’ if he shut this podcast down and put that energy elsewhere with his businesses, but he’ll never do that.
    • Vinnie’s fighting misinformation, and that requires a lot of effort.

CAM NEWTON

  • Cam Newton, former MVP, was recently released from the Patriots.
  • Nobody knows precisely why.
  • However, his performance declined in recent years.
  • Additionally, he was oft-injured and slow to recover.
  • Interestingly, several years ago, Cam Newton also began a vegan.
  • He doesn’t look as strong nowadays.

HELPING YOUR KIDS

  • It’s important to make sure your kids have a healthy relationship with food.
  • Not making too big a deal is usually the way to go.
  • Vinnie believes if your kid is stuck on eating carbs, allow your kid those foods so long as they’re also eating healthy foods, too.
  • When it comes to health-related stuff, you have to trust your kids have an innate sense of wanting to look and feel good.
  • Lead by example, and invite your kids to join you — don’t force them.
  • You can also buy fewer junk foods and let them pick out something they want from time to time.
  • Cooking with your kids is another great way to show them how yummy healthy foods can be.

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1923 – On this Sunday School episode, the lovely Gina Grad joins Vinnie Tortorich to talk unconscious weight gain, crazy milks, Vinnie’s new doc, news, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

UNCONSCIOUS WEIGHT GAIN

  • Gina has received lots of compliments about her weight recently.
  • She realizes she didn’t receive the same sort of attention to her figure when she gained weight.
    • People don’t tend to comment on this, and that’s part of why it can sneak up on you.
  • Now, she’s feeling much more confident.
    • Gina is walking miles a day, which has also helped.

CRAZY MILKS

  • There are many insane milks.
  • Milk isn’t really milk unless it comes from an animal!
  • A new company is making milk from fungi.
  • If you are that against cows milk, don’t drink it at all!!! (and don’t drink these ‘milks’)
  • Vinnie would also recommend that most avoid milk altogether.
