PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

PROFESSOR TIM NOAKES

  • Tim Noakes is a South African health expert who prescribes low carb diets.

TRIAL AGAINST GOOD HEALTH

  • Years ago, he received a tweet from a mother asking if her eating cauliflower could give her child who she was breastfeeding gas.
    • Dr. Noakes basically said no because the baby is getting real food.
    • He recommended she wean the child onto LCHF diet.
      • He meant, meat fish and dairy.
        • This was simply TRUE.
        • He didn’t want the child to eat cereal.
  • Health organizations brought him to trial.
    • They said he was unconventional and misleading…even though really he was encouraging good health.
  • Many other experts testified at his trial.
    • Nina Teicholz, for example, knocked it out of the park by telling the truth.

RUNNING ON SUGAR VS. FAT

  • Lots of ultra athletes try to rely on carbs.
  • It tends not to work for these longer events.
  • Many ultra athletes who use carbs bonk or feel horrible at some point.
  • Vinnie has found when his energy came from fat, he performed better.
    • This is why he’s made products like Ultra Fat.
  • Tim Noakes replicated this sort of thing in the lab.

Getting Back Into Exercise & the Fitness Middle Class – Episode 1670

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1670 – On this Wednesday show, Serena Scott Thomas joins Vinnie to talk the current hectic times, the fitness middle class, Serena’s long distance running, getting back into exercise, cooking nuts and more!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

FITNESS MIDDLE CLASS

  • This has nothing to do with finance.
  • It has to do with the many people out there who are not super fit or super fat, but need to lose some weight and get metabolically healthier.
  • Vinnie just wants to help.
  • He will keep working at this goal.
    • This is why Vinnie’s always onto the next thing.
      • He’ll keep launching products to help, or documentaries to educate.

GETTING BACK INTO EXERCISE

  • When Serena moved to VA, she stopped running for a bit.
  • She found that her aerobic and anaerobic fitness went away.
  • Her general strength suffered when she stopped.
    • Balance was worse, general muscle strength was worse.
  • It’s a use it or lose it proposition.
    • There’s not a ton of residual value.
  • Get back into it slowly!
    • This is how you get back to where you were, or go even farther.
  • Protein only helps if we work our muscles hard, too.

Workout Bikes, Ultra Events & A Marie Update! – Episode 1669

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1669 – On this Monday show, Anna and Vinnie talk wildfires, proper hydration in crazy heat, Anna’s marinara, ultra events, good workout bikes, and more, and the two provide a Marie update!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

MARIE UPDATE

  • Vinnie is in Louisiana with his mom.
  • She broke several bones, including a shoulder and a knee.
  • He’s helping her recover with physical therapy and what not.
  • But don’t worry, she’s doing great!

ULTRA EVENTS

WORKOUT BIKES

  • When Peloton came out, they couldn’t sell any bikes.
  • Then, they doubled the price and they took off.
  • They’re good bikes to motivate people through competition and whatnot, but with subscriptions and all the extras it gets expensive.
  • You don’t need a peloton to do a bike workout.
  • Many spinners are great. Check out Schwinn.
  • You can find one for several hundred dollars on Amazon and pull up a guided ride on YouTube.

Breakfast Lies & Smear Campaigns – Episode 1668

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1668 – On this Sunday School show, Vinnie Tortorich and Gina Grad talk breakfast lies, coffee smear campaigns, Barilla pasta “studies,” advocating for your own health, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

BREAKFAST LIES

  • Breakfast as the most important meal of the day was truly a marketing campaign.
  • Many cultures only started the day with an espresso or a light low-carb food like eggs or fruit.
  • Kraft mac n’ cheese and Reese’s both have “breakfast” items coming out.
    • These are huge lies.
      • These foods simply cannot be good for you.
  • Companies have been tricking us into thinking junk foods are breakfast foods for far too long.

The Importance of Meat & Belcampo with Anya Fernald – Episode 1666

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1666 – Anya Fernald, Co-founder and CEO of Belcampo, joins Vinnie on this Friday show and the two talk sustainable agriculture, the importance of meat, vegan lies, small farming and soil, the facts behind organic meat, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

ANYA FERNALD

  • Anya is located in Northern California.
  • She is the co-founder and CEO of Belcampo Restaurant and Butcher Shop.
  • She worked in animal agriculture.
  • Anya loves animals and wants to improve livestock outcomes.
  • She started her own company because she believes in better treatment of livestock.
    • This is not only better for the animals but it’s also better for the environment and the people.
      • Small, smart farming is good for the soil.
  • Factory farmed meat is the problem, not family farm meat.
  • You can shop her store online!
  • She was vegan for some time and vegetarian for 10 years.
    • But she began to play offense on defense.
  • Anya drinks a quart of bone broth a day.
    • She’s a huge believer in it.
  • She thinks getting vitamins and nutrients from the source is the best thing.
    • Absorption is better.
  • Anya has been on lots of cooking TV shows, too!

THE IMPORTANCE OF MEAT

  • With respect to fertility, those who eat meat as children seem to fare better later on.
  • The mother’s access to high quality animal protein was most related to offspring health.
  • She also feels that her kids are healthier and better off because they are big carnivores.
  • Back in 2006, she felt healthier when she began to eat more, higher quality meat.
  • Her company’s product focuses on animal wellness.
    • The company kills all of the animals and stores them itself.
  • Organic is not always better.
    • Organic can mean that the animals don’t get antibiotics when they might need it for comfort.
      • Anya will sometimes sacrifice organic status to make sure her animals are better cared for.

NUTELLA MOM

  • A mom sued Nutella in 2012 for marketing its food as breakfast.
  • Here’s the commercial she sued over:

  • Vinnie agrees its irresponsible and dangerous for these companies to be marketing horrible foods as things to feed your kids in the morning.
  • The lawsuit settled for around $3 million.
  • Other companies like Kraft still do this –– it needs to stop.
  • Breakfast is already a myth, and this just takes it to another level.
