Episode 1421 – Patrick Theut joins Vinnie this Friday, and the two discuss Patrick’s life as an athlete, heart capacity, reversing heart disease, the role of LDL and Vitamin K, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

FAT DOC IS OUT

PATRICK THEUT

  • Patrick has always been a super active guy.
    • Further, he continues to play hockey.
    • He also took up pole vaulting at age 45!
  • Patrick’s a process controls engineer with a background in biochemistry and bio-physiology.
  • Patrick, at 49, found out that he had about 4 years to live based on his heart disease.
    • He was determined to fix his heart disease – he’s healthy 17 years later!

REVERSING HEART DISEASE

  • Patrick took matters into his own hands.
  • He started with the internet after that fateful appointment.
    • Slowly, he figured out what he needed to do.
  • His immune system back then was horrible. He had to kick that back into shape, too.
  • He figured out that Vitamin K1 played a huge part in all of this.
    • He also purchased Menaquinone 7.
  • Patrick used these supplements as well as diet to reverse his heart disease and become a much healthier person!
    • LDL is the carrier for Vitamin K, so it’s necessary!

  • We have a delicious roast from this country
  • Small-batch in our Explorer Series
  • Class, dark-chocolatey coffee
    • Really rich and delicious

HIGH QUALITY PRODUCTS

    • Good manufacturing practice
  • We are also NSF products
    • Products rigorously tested by third parties to make sure our manufacturing is great!
  • We take great measure to make sure our products are highest quality
  • They would sue us if we put it on our products without their stamp of approval
  • Not all of our PVC ingredients come from USA, but the vitamins are made in the USA

A note: Andy in this show mentions that it would be posted on the 15th. Unfortunately, this was incorrect, and so the Bay to Breakers event already took place. It went swimmingly! We hope to see you at our next event.

Hydration is Key – Episode 1306

by Vinnie Tortorich

 : Episode 1306 – Vinnie goes 1 on NONE this Friday. He talks Anna’s new cookbook, airplanes, the fact that hydration is key, weight-bearing vs. resistance exercise, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

EAT HAPPY, TOO

  • Available for pre-order
  • Your card won’t get charged until the book is released
  • By that time, price will most likely be lowered
  • Go check it out now!!

AIRPLANES

  • Vinnie was on an airplane recently
  • The snacks were all super crap
  • Gummy bears, pretzels, that type of thing
  • Anna had a rude seat-neighbor on her most recent flight

HYDRATION IS KEY

  • Vinnie is not drinking on Fridays anymore
  • He needs to be hydrated for Saturday and Sunday
  • He’s hiking around 17 miles a day Sat/Sun
  • Has done over 60 hours of aerobic activity in 25 days
  • If you’re training, hydration is key
  • Many athletes are dehydrated without knowing it
  • Vinnie will probably cut out alcohol in a couple weeks until after his climb

WEIGHT-BEARING VS. RESISTANCE EXERCISE

  • Resistance exercise = lifting weights
    • Cycling is the same
  • Weight-bearing means you are bearing the weight of your frame
    • Walking is the best for this
    • Getting a standing desk helps, too
  • Continuing to walk will help your bones not go brittle

THE TRUTH ABOUT CALCIUM

by Vinnie Tortorich

It’s Wednesday and that means that Andy Schreiber is in the house…Vinnie and Andy discuss this coming weekend which is the First Annual NSNG Meetup.  They also discuss calcium…it’s benefits, what foods have it and different forms of calcium supplementation.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR

FIRST ANNUAL NSNG L.A. MEETUP 

  • This weekend, March 27 – 29th
  • Between 13-15 people are flying in from all over the country
  • Some of the events scheduled for this weekend and what to expect

CALCIUM – WHAT’S THE TRUTH

  • It’s needed   in diet and supplementation because the body does not produce it’s own calcium
  • Primarily found in dairy and also in darker, green leafy vegetables like kale
  • One form is calcium carbonate which can cause stomach upset
  • The other form is calcium citrate which has been shown to be more bioavailable
