Gaming the System

  • The first caller is Lee. (6:00)
    • Lee has been off and on NSNG for several years and has been listening to the podcast since early on.
    • He gives his backstory about NSNG®. (15:00)
  • He uses several protocols in addition to NSNG®; however, Vinnie has some questions and suggestions for Lee. (21:00)
    • He has lost and gained significant weight several times, and it’s affecting his health.
    • Vinnie is trying to get Lee to stumble less. Lee needs to stop trying to game the system.
    • Lee also started lifting to strengthen his knees. He realized his sore knees were probably less about arthritis and more about lack of strength.
  • Shelly joins the call. (46:00)
    • She gives Vinnie an update on her health metrics.
    • A DEXA scan is the best way to detect body composition (bone density, muscle growth, and body fat percentage). (50:00)
      • A scale doesn’t give you all that information.

What We Tell Ourselves

  • Note: There is a discussion around Santa and beliefs—if you have little ones around while listening, we encourage listener discretion.
  • The origin of the “Daisy Dukes” and the show Dukes of Hazard. (3:00)
  • They discuss how information about topics like climate change has changed, and that we are always learning.
  • Vinnie relates the belief in Santa to the belief in what is possible. (13:00)
    • We tell ourselves things we want to be true, so we can get what we want. (16:30)
  • Oral semiglutide’s effects are supposed to be as effective as the injection, but there are still side effects. (21:00)
  • “The Decaf study.” They discuss decaf and caffeinated coffee and whether it is harmful enough.
  • Taco Bell has its own soda flavor, Baja Blast. (28:00)
    • They just launched their own pie based on the same flavor.
  • People think they can get away with one thing if they believe they are compensating elsewhere, but that doesn’t always work that way.
    • CICO, or taking a GLP-1, is an example of this; people will indulge, thinking that the running or the GLP-1 will take care of the fallout. (36:00)
  • The FDA is lifting black box warnings from women’s estrodiol packaging. (51:00)
    • This allows women options that they didn’t think were possible before to treat perimenopause and menopausal symptoms.

Flip the Script – Episode 2730

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2730 – Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino host guests for a call-in show to discuss steps into NSNG, the need to “flip the script,” and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE – @FitnessConfidential Podcast 

Flip the Script

  • Vinnie just got back from Barbados, his first real vacation in a while. (3:00)
    • He shares a story of how the locals were friendly and helpful.
    • He didn’t, however, engage with a pina colada as planned.
  • The first caller is Ty.
    • He got to meet Anna at a fundraising comedy show, and it was better than Disneyland. (17:00)

    • Ty’s question: Summarize for newcomers to NSNG, the easiest first step one can take when starting.
    • Anna: Start with your favorite proteins and build around that. Grilling and stovetop first—quicker and easier to get into. (25:00)
    • Vinnie reminds you to be mindful, but avoid being carb-phobic. Cruciferous veggies are your friend. (29:00)
  • Second call-in guest is Trish:
    • Trish has been NSNG off and on for years. She is struggling to get back into it mentally.
      • They discuss various reasons.
    • Be careful of the story you tell yourself. You need to flip the script in your head. (40:00)
  • Leslie is starting her own trail mix company with clean ingredients. (43:00)
    • She’s done a lot of research, and it’ll be especially great for camping and hiking.

      • You can get strong without hours of training.
  • Wayne is next and needs to be wearing some different t-shirt merch. (1:24:00)
    • He tried to transition slowly into NSNG—he’s not a “cold turkey” kind of person.
    • He has some concerns with his blood pressure and the medication he is on.
    • Vinnie does not give medical advice, but they discuss what could be causing it.
    • They advise Wayne to get a full health workup and to let his doctor know that he has changed his meds. (1:25:00)

    • She was also trying to get her parents to be healthier; however, they have a hard time adjusting to improved and updated information.

  • There are ways to eat healthily on a fixed income. (16:00)

  • Dr. Amy speaks about her challenges in convincing her parents to continue the healthy plan she set up for them. (43:00)
    • Many people often say they will “do anything” to get fit and healthy, except for doing the actual things that get you fit and healthy.
    • Marketing of products and medications can be misleading, too. (55:00)
  • Vinnie’s wife, Serena, is 64 years old and very fit. NSNG agrees with her! (1:05:00)
    • Healthy foods increase your vitality!
    • Foods like ghee help build “sexy” hormones. (1:10:00)

  • It contains real-life examples of people who transformed their lives. It is meant to inspire people to lead a life of purpose and adaptability, even in challenging and hectic times. It is not a stereotypical self-help book.
