VOICE ACTING

  • Anna’s voice is everywhere!
  • Commercials, the Kimmel show, video games.
  • There are some video games she wishes she had voices but didn’t.
  • Will Anna become the IT voice that everyone recognizes?

GETTING BACK ON TRACK POST PANDEMIC

  • Many people gained weight during the pandemic.
  • Now that we’re entering a post-pandemic world, at least in the US, people are starting to get more serious.
  • Many are diving full-in.
  • However, people have forgotten a lot.
  • If you’re getting back into this, go back and re-read the free PDF and listen to old podcasts. If you need to, schedule a phone consult with Vinnie.
    • Go back to ALL of it. Reconnect with the basics.

DANGEROUS WEIGHT LOSS DRUGS

  • Anna was really upset by this.
  • This new drug has dangerous side effects.
  • Anna and Vinnie are here talking for free — you can fix your life for free without becoming beholden to more drugs that might make you sicker.
  • Big pharma is the one who profits from this.
  • The way to stop this cycle is by getting off of drugs through a good diet.

The Problems with Calorie Restriction – Episode 1859

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1859 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk Anna’s voiceover work, calorie restriction and eating disorders, diet trickery, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

CALORIE RESTRICTION

  • Thinking of eating in terms of calorie in and calorie out is not good.
  • It can create unhealthy eating habits.
  • Also, while it may work short term, it is not sustainable.
  • Calories are units of energy. You’re restricting fuel.
  • For some people, fasting feels like calorie restrictions.
    • This is why Vinnie thinks some people don’t need to or even shouldn’t fast.
    • Some people with disordered eating (or eating disorders) may find this exacerbates problems.
  • Now, you can’t eat no sugar and no grains with impunity.
    • People can still over-eat. But it’s not CICO.

DIET TRICKERY

  • Many companies market ‘shortcuts’ that don’t really exist.
  • Don’t think about things like “cheat days.”
  • Doing so can encourage trickery.
  • Keto companies can be guilty of this.

Eating on the Road and Exercise – Episode 1858

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1858 – On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad and Vinnie Tortorich talk driving, eating on the road, the keto ‘woosh,’ exercise, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

EATING ON THE ROAD

  • For those who drive a lot, planning ahead is crucial.
  • Vinnie talks to a lot of truckers about staying the course while on the road.
  • You can find okay things in some truck stops — look for jerky without added sugar, hard boiled eggs, pickles.
  • There are lots of things you can pack in a cooler for a drive.
  • If you need to get fast food, just get patties.

KETO ‘WOOSH’

  • Some people lose weight fast, then think they plateau.
  • But, usually it is normally water weight to start.
  • The weight will come off, but try to focus on non-scale victories, too.
  • Exercise can help.
  • This looks different for everyone!

BEST OF: Over Prescribing Drugs with Dr. Drew – Episode 1857

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1857 – On this Saturday show, we’re airing a “best of” one-on-one with Dr. Drew. The renowned Dr. Drew, a good friend of Vinnie’s, joins Vinnie today to discuss his work, addiction and over  prescribing drugs, cholesterol, heart health, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

DR. DREW

  • Dr. Drew is an incredibly busy man.
  • He has a radio show .
  • He even manages some outpatient work as well.
  • Regularly, Dr. Drew appears on several podcasts, including Carolla.
  • When you have worked 100 more hours a week as he once did as a hospital doctor, being hard-working in Hollywood is not so bad.
  • Dr. Drew is a big egg guy and has realized the benefit of eggs, even if it took some coming around to because of heart issues in his family.

OVER PRESCRIBING DRUGS

  • We now look at symptoms as a diagnosis.
  • ADD meds are a big problem in our society.
  • Many kids are over-prescribed.
  • For some, the more trauma, the more drugs which can compound the issue.
  • ADDERALL is a huge problem in schools.
    • High schools and colleges.
    • A PED that messes up your brain.
  • Statins are another problem, too
    • Many who eat NSNG come off of their statins which is funny because they’re eating more fat and meat.
    • Vinnie is not a doctor.
  • Many athletes take inhalers for effects similar to other PEDs.

Living Dairy Free And Tinkering Your Diet – Episode 1856

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1856 – On this Friday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk Vinnie’s dad’s recent YouTube debut, only children, living dairy free, tinkering your diet to fit you, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

ONLY CHILDREN

  • Anna is an only child. So is Tallulah!
  • Childhood as an only child is a weird thing.
  • She had to play games by herself, which was a little odd.
  • But she also gained a certain independence that served her well.
  • She learned to cook because she was on her own so much of the time.
  • Anna then attended boarding school.
  • For people plateauing, how much of something you consume depends on who you are!
  • A 30 min consult with Vinnie can help you tinker things to you.

LIVING DAIRY FREE

  • For Anna’s autoimmune disorders, she knew she had to cut out dairy.
  • She’s known since 2014, but she never really committed.
  • Dairy incites the auto immune response in her system.
  • In January, she went fully dairy free.
  • This is good, because she’s getting over her over-reliance on dairy.
    • When she went NSNG®, she really leaned on dairy.
  • Cutting out dairy is also a great thing to try when you are plateauing.
  • Her newer cookbook has more dairy free recipes!

SEED OILS

  • Seed oils are very bad for you.
  • They are super processed.
  • Try to avoid them!
  • Seeds, however, are okay.
  • Sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, etc. make a good snack — but eat them in moderation.
  • If you use something like sesame oil, only use a few drops.

VEGAN DOCTORS

  • Vinnie tried to find a vegan doctor to record for the upcoming movie.
  • However, most weren’t ready to cut through the BS.
  • Unfortunately, then, he doesn’t have anyone during this film, even though he knows some sane vegan doctors are out there.

Fueling with Fat – Episode 1855

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1855 – On this Wednesday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Andy Schreiber talk fueling with fat vs. fueling with sugar, becoming fat-adapted, grip-strengtheners, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

FUELING WITH FAT

  • Our nut butters are great for exercise.
  • If you’re fat adapted, you can do those ultra events without all of the sugary and carby products.
  • When you’re fueling on sugar and carbs, you’re going to have to consume so much more often.
    • Fuel from fat burns slower–in a good way. 
    • Vinnie also found that his stomach was so much worse during races when he ate all this sugar.
      • He would puke. Now that he doesn’t fuel with sugar, that’s largely gone away.
  • Do you want to eat Gu every 20 minutes, or just have some nut butters and the like every couple hours?
    • As you can imagine, one is definitely better for your body (and brain!).
  • It does take time to get fat adapted — commit, and you’ll benefit as Vinnie, Gina’s fiancé, and so many others have.
  • Once you’re fat adapted, it takes a bit to turn that fat into energy.
    • It’s a slower burn, but your brain prefers it, and your body works great.
