Normalizing Bad Health – Episode 1794

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1794 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk becoming a trainer, CPAP machines, steroids, normalizing bad health, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

BECOMING A TRAINER

  • It is SO EASY to become a certified trainer or dietitian. 
    • You can do it online fairly quickly.
    • Also, the dietitian courses teach the SAD diet.
  • This isn’t legit like it used to be.
  • Be cautious if you hear that people are certified but didn’t go to school for it.

NORMALIZING BAD HEALTH

  • A lot of the trainers who are ‘keto’ are very dirty keto.
  • Vinnie heard a trainer calling a CPAP machine ‘sleep equipment.’
  • And, they’re calling steroids ‘gear.’
  • That veganism is now so in is another form of this.
  • This is all normalizing health issues.
  • TV contributes to these issues, making medications seem normal and the like.

FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON iTUNES and AMAZON

  • Please also share it with family and friends!
  • Buy it and watch it now on iTunes to get it to the top of the charts.

FAT DOC 1 IS ALSO OUT

Exercise, Heart Rate Monitors, and Fat Adaptation

by Vinnie Tortorich

On today’s episode, Vinnie and Anna talk about our sponsors, the intelligent Dr. Noakes from South Africa, how exercise is not the best weight loss strategy, the best heart rate monitors to use, and Pierce Brosnan.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

  • One of Vinnie’s favorite songs is “Blinded by the Light”
  • Manfred Mann sounds like he says “revved up like a douche”

VILLA CAPPELLI OLIVE OIL

  • They have a really good podcast, check it out!
  • Paul foraged 40kilos of Morel mushrooms, borage, and wild asparagus
  • Best olive oil in the planet — the best to cook with!
  • ‘High smoke point’ was just a marketing tactic by other oils to get people to not use olive oil
  • Check out some of Anna’s recipes that use this olive oil
  • 10% off just for Vinnie’s listeners with promo code

DR NOAKES

  • Dispels all of his ‘haters’’ false dietary claims
  • Full interview here
  • Noakes is being hammered for one tweet
  • Chyron is wrong
  • Fat does not make your body too acidic!
  • Noakes is a PhD and an MD — can give advice without consultation

GYMS

  • Gyms used to be named things like “Vinnie’s Gym”, “Joe’s Place”
  • Now gyms are called things like Ultra Gym, we have pilates, spinning, etc.
  • People still getting fatter: exercise is a poor way to lose weight 
  • Gyms tend to preach calorie in – calorie out theory

FAT ADAPTATION

  • Serena can run marathon lengths without any extra sugar
  • Breakfast is good as long as it is heavy fat, not heavy sugar
  • Obesity increase and exercise increase are directly proportional
  • Dieting works better than the above, according to study
  • Aerobic activity spurs want to eat, spurs sweet-teeth
  • Once you become fat adapted, the craving slows down and eventually stops

SQUATTY POTTY 

  • Painkillers cause constipation for many
  • This pooping position putting your feet up really allows for proper defecation
  • Link to get one is on right side of every page

HEART RATE MONITORS

  • Fit bits tell you steps etc, but aren’t the best for this type of training
  • Best (affordable) heart rate monitors are Polar, Ironman
  • Simple is good

PIERCE BROSNAN

  • Tallulah’s commencement speaker was Pierce Brosnan
  • Vinnie would have preferred Richie Sambora
  • Pierce made his speech into a political statement
  • Said he was a PhD but was really only honorary
  • Put on too much of a show but at least he’s beautiful
  • Tallulah’s classmates will change the world
