POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE — how does NSNG affect the kidney?

• Ultimately, Kristin will need to get kidney transplants because hers will fail
• She was told to stay away from animal protein and beer
• Vinnie is not a doctor so he cannot give medical advice
• Vinnie would think that diary, sugar, and grain could cause more inflammation and overall hurt
• Studies show that those with lower inflammation live longer (90-100+ years)
• Kristin already feels better after a month of NSNG

Dr. David Schecter, a Beverly Hills doctor who tries to relieve pain with the power of the mind joins Vinnie Tortorich on this Friday show of the Angriest Trainer podcast.

DR SARNO

• Dr. Schecter had really bad knee problems, went to see Dr. Sarno
• Dr. Sarno told him that most of his pain was psychosomatic
• His pain was lifting as he learned about it
• Dr. Schecter was amazed that he didn’t prescribe medication or anything else
  • inspired him

DR. SCHECTER’S WORK

• Think Away Your Pain 
• Works with patients who’s problems are often mostly in their heads
• David Schecter teaches people how to deal with often psychosomatically dealt pain
• He also will work with structural problems
  • If it is a mechanical problem, the pain is often corporal as opposed to mental
• His focus is TMS — brain stimulation

PAIN AND HOW IT EFFECTS US 

• Although Vinnie’s pain is mechanical, the brain makes it worse in times of stress and worry
• The brain amplifies and localizes pain
• Once you get into a mindset of chronic pain, it can be hard to get rid of
• Getting rid of mental pain can take longer, but can be a real fix, whereas a shot of cortisone or something similar is just a bandaid
• Adrenaline allows people to push themselves
• Often the pain is real, but it is not specific to one place because it is in the brain
• Ultra racing & pain
  • Exhaustion appears often as pain, hits you one place, if you beat it mentally, it will move around

On today’s Wednesday episode of the Angriest Trainer podcast with Vinnie Tortorich and Andy Schreiber, Vinnie and Andy discuss the importance of proper hiking gear and taking electrolytes to keep your muscles working.

ELECTROLYTES

• S! caps
• Salt blocks
• Don’t take too many electrolytes — that isn’t good for you either
• Vinnie and Serena both eat things that have salt in them on hikes and runs
  • Feta cheese and olives for example

ANDY THE HIKER

• Has hiked Mt. Wilson
• Wants to hike Baldy
• Big hiker!!
• Hiking shoes should be half to a full size bigger due to the fact that when you go downhill, your toes will ram into the front of your shoes
• Use moleskin on hotspots
• Fix toenail problems immediately

THE BULLDOG

• 4 miles straight up
• Hike near Vinnie
• Water won’t do it on a hot day — electrolytes are necessary
• Andy realized he needed electrolytes on this hike
