THIS PODCAST

  • We started podcasting before podcasting was really a thing!
  • We’ve seen it all: Skype, Zoom pre-COVID, and more.
  • Now, we want to take our show to the next level.
  • Keep on the lookout for videos attached to podcasts (with cooking, workouts, etc.), and live shows, too.
  • In the next few weeks, hopefully we will take phone calls, too.

EVENING STIFFNESS

  • Anna has been using her stationary bike.
  • She’s really been enjoying this exercise.
  • In the evening, she has some upper leg and lower back stiffness.
    • It’s not lactic acid stiffness, but it’s her getting fit.
      • Do not fear, unless it is truly painful or immobile rather than just stiff.
  • Anna exercises in Zone 2, and goes on walks in addition.

LEARNING TO SKI

  • Vinnie really threw himself into skiing.
  • He threw himself on the ground in the bunny slope.
  • And then, he skied backwards. 
    • If you can do it backwards, you can do it forwards!
  • Vinnie made himself comfortable with falling and being uncomfortable.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

THE LOW CARB MOVEMENT AND NSNG®

  • Vinnie and Meagan have both noticed lots of progress over the past ten or so years.
  • When Vinnie started the podcast, he feared saying the word ketogenic because it was confused with ketoacidosis.
  • Many of the doctors Vinnie had on in early days of the podcast were not big back then; now they have their own big things going on!
  • Plus, lots of listeners and the like have started their own blogs and podcasts.
  • The Low carb movement is fortunately becoming more mainstream.
  • There are 27k people in the NSNG®Facebook group.
    • Meagan is an admin for this!
    • No question is too ‘simple’ or ‘dumb’ — members, be nice to NSNG® newcomers! Go about it with kindness!
      • You can’t try shortcuts, you need to commit to this. Ask as many questions as necessary to commit.
  • Meagan’s seen Vinnie’s work in action.
    • Vinnie has helped her, and now he’s helping her son, too.
      • Its multi-generational, and it multiplies with each person informed.

Going Down The Road Less Traveled – Episode 1801

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1801 – On this Friday show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie Tortorich to talk Vinnie’s road trip, food addiction, going down the road less traveled, tofu, the COVID-19 vaccine, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED

  • Going down the road less traveled happens often in life.
  • For Vinnie, it started with going to college, leaving the bayou, meeting new people, not getting instant gratification but learning a lot from his new environment.
  • Weight loss may be the same for a lot of people.
  • Lots of people who start NSNG have tried every other diet/fad/lifestyle, and it hasn’t stuck.
  • Try to take this road less traveled and dive into this lifestyle.
    • It may not be mainstream (yet), but it is the road you will stick with.
  • When the road gets tough, get out your machete and start hacking.
  • Also, it’s normal to lose weight slowly.
    • If you lose too fast, that can be tough on your body!
    • You might lose a lot to start and then it might slow down, or vice versa.

COVID-19 VACCINE

  • Vinnie just got the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
  • One thing western medicine does well is diagnostics and vaccines.

by Vinnie Tortorich

UNLEARNING BAD HABITS

EGGS

  • Finally, science is recognizing eggs are healthy.

Beating Insulin Resistance – Episode 1797

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1797 – On this Saturday show, Suzy Demeester joins Vinnie, and the two talk movies, beating insulin resistance, fine-tuning intermittent fasting, cholesterol numbers, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

SUZY’S STORY

  • She struggled with her health and metabolism-related issues.
  • All of the people she spoke with, some of whom were very well-versed in these issues, talked about fasting.
  • Suzy had been diagnosed with fatty liver disease, had other stress-related issues, and more.
    • When it came down to it, after listening to Jason Fung, she realized she was insulin resistance.

BEATING INSULIN RESISTANCE

  • Once she realized this was her problem, she took the plunge.
  • Susy began by cutting out sugar and grains.
    • She started with the obvious things (bread, pasta), and also seed oils.
    • Importantly, she allowed herself to eat as much fat as she could at the beginning.
  • It’s important to not beat yourself up if you mess up at the beginning –– just get back on the wagon right away.
  • She didn’t exercise, rather, she focused on one thing at a time.
  • Weight loss started fairly quickly, but more noticeably, her joints felt better.
    • She did lose a great amount of weight, too.
      • When she plateaued, she cut her fat intake down a little.
  • Then, she started fasting which really helped kick her insulin resistance.
    • It was all about getting into it slowly, intelligently, and fine tuning it.
  • With her fasting, after some time, she realized she didn’t need it to the same extent.
