TOM NAUGHTON

  • Tom has been on the show for a long time.
  • Before making the excellent film Fat Head, he was a comedian.
    • As a comedian, his daughter missed him too much, and he realized he needed to return home.
  • Prior to being a traveling comedian, he was a reporter.
    • Back in the day, he reported on benefits of bad diets because he didn’t know any better.
  • Tom has also made a Fat Head for kids!
    • It’s important to teach kids from a young age the truth about food, what is healthy and yummy and what isn’t.

DIET AND HEALTH POLICY

  • The wisdom of crowds is knowledge based on our experiences.
  • Little groups of experts do not have as much experiences as the thousands of experiences in the crowds.
  • We should look to the people, not the singular experts for our health.
  • The vision of the anointed is the opposite of the wisdom of the crowds.
    • Knowledge based on academic theory that comes on suddenly is often much worse than the wisdom of the crowds.
    • Grand plans coming from intellectualism is often not the right way to go.
      • Sometimes, these folks avoid evidence to the contrary and impose their will on others.

The Obesity Epidemic & Oral Health – Episode 1844

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1844 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk their generations, the obesity epidemic, oral health, cholesterol and A1Cs, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC

  • It is fully here.
  • Vinnie was recently at the busiest airport in the country, and most people were overweight.
  • It’s no longer people who have ten or fifteen pounds to lose, they are very overweight.
  • The pandemic exacerbate weight gain for a lot of people.
  • Vinnie is angry because good intentions have been stolen and health care cannot keep up.
    • Instead, the health care system medicates people into sick rather than super sick when eating well could get you out of sick entirely.

ORAL HEALTH

  • For lots of people, eating well can help your oral health.
  • This way of eating may result in whiter teeth (even if you drink water) and much healthier gums.
  • Anna’s oral hygienist didn’t believe how good her gums look since she started eating this way.
  • Gum disease is an inflammatory disease, so this makes a lot of sense.

Beating Sugar Addiction – Episode 1842

by Vinnie Tortorich

 Episode 1842 – On this Saturday show, Dan Lucas joins Vinnie to talk Dan’s weight loss journey, beating sugar addiction with intentional NSNG®, cravings after dinner, chess, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

BEATING SUGAR ADDICTION

  • In 2017, Dan and Vinnie did a consult.
  • At that point, Dan had lost around 30 lbs down from 224–he is 6’2″.
  • This past Christmas, he gained to 232 lbs.
    • The worst part was, he felt terribly.
      • His cough came back and he generally felt much sicker.
  • Dan got back on the wagon, and he has been more intentional with his fat-eating and carb avoidance.
  • Since the New Year, Dan has dropped 32 lbs and is sitting at 200!
  • For Dan, a lot of this was breaking an addiction.
    • Some people can’t just have a slice of cake… they have to have the whole thing and Dan is one of those people.
    • It’s frustrating for him: he thought he had a lot of control, but when it comes to sugar, that goes out the window.
  • For some people, Life Into Living isn’t so easy.
    • If you’re an addict, break the cravings, don’t give into LIL.
  • If your brain searches for sugar, don’t give into it with “just a cookie” or something of the like.

POST-DINNER CRAVINGS

  • A lot of people feel cravings after they eat dinner.
  • Your brain is hunting for more food now that your hormones are going.
  • For some people, it’s because they’re used to dessert.
  • Vinnie’s suggestion: have nothing, or having a little charcuterie like Europeans do!
    • Throw some cheese, some cornichons, some prosciutto on there, if you can handle those things.

A Nation of Sick People with Nina Teicholz – Episode 1841

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1841 – The amazing Nina Teicholz joins Vinnie on this Friday show, and the two 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.
