Making Time for Your Health – Episode 2139

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2139 – On this Monday’s show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk about making time for your health, the science behind cooking a great steak, cast iron skillets, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

MAKING TIME FOR YOUR HEALTH

  • Vinnie and Anna start the show off with a few thoughts about the 4th of July holiday. (4:39)
  • Vinnie tells Anna how he’s been doing motivational posts on Instagram, and a lot of them are based on consults he has while he’s walking. (6:55)
  • He tells Anna about a call he just had with someone asking about how much time should be spent on exercise. (8:58)
  • Vinnie then wonders about “this time thing” and chats about the idea of “not having enough time” and making time for your health. (9:40)
  • People have time but are doing other things instead that they are not willing to give up to do better with their health. (13:38)
  • Vinnie reminds us that our bodies weren’t meant to be stationary–“use it or lose it.” (19:35)
  • As a result, he brings up a book he read by a paleoanthropologist that discusses how today’s modern lifestyle has made us humans weaker. (20:15)
  • Anna hears a lot of the same comments about not having time to cook meals; as a result, she has a lot of suggestions on how it can be better managed. (23:40)
  • This leads Vinnie and Anna to discuss how we all have belief systems of what is possible while discussing Dan Lynch, a rower and cancer survivor that Vinnie has had on the show before. (25:44)
  • Anna makes it a point to try to “rip open” any preconceived notion that doesn’t serve her. (28:28)
  • They chat a bit about plans for the KetoCon coming up. (30:15)

HOW TO TREAT YOUR MEAT & CAST IRON

  • Don’t forget to watch Anna’s cooking demos and recipes on Instagram every Tuesday. (42:45)
  • Vinnie mentions how he always cooks with his cast-iron skillet and even takes it with him while camping and on road trips. (42:48)

Battling Pre-Diabetes – Episode 2064

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2064 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk with Marie Tortorich, the saint. Anna and Vinnie also talk battling pre-diabetes, keeping cancer away, learning to cook and eat healthily, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

BATTLING PRE-DIABETES

  • Anna’s dad recently was diagnosed with pre-diabetes.
  • He’s 81 and doesn’t eat very well.
  • The doctor suggested he cut out sweets and carbs.
  • So, he’s cut down — but not cut out.
    • For example, he’s sharing his fries instead of having his own.
  • This is a good place to start.
  • Anna told him to get his A1C tested again in 6 months and he agreed.
    • If it’s still a problem, she’ll try to suggest he cut out these things completely!

KEEPING CANCER AWAY

  • A person Anna and Vinnie know battled cancer.
  • Now, he’s keeping it away with a low carb diet.
  • He was a guy who could eat anything without gaining weight — but he really wants to make sure he doesn’t feed cancer.
  • Folks who look healthy still can have serious, diet-related health issues.
  • That’s why this is important for everyone, not just those with weight to lose.

PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE

  • The documentary launched on January 11!
    • Order it TODAY!
  • This is Vinnie’s third documentary in just over three years.
  • Get it now on Apple TV (iTunes) and/or Amazon Video!

Going Back to the Basics with NSNG® – Episode 1818

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1818 – On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad and Vinnie Tortorich talk going back to the basics, food as a love language, intentional life into living, keto flu, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

GOING BACK TO THE BASICS

  • Gina has been on and off with NSNG® –– life happens.
  • However, she realized she was done eating unhealthily.
    • Though she allowed herself some slack while she grieved the death of her dad, she realized that had to come to an end.
      • People kept sending her food and gift cards, but she couldn’t keep using that as an excuse.
  • Recently, she decided to go back to basics.
    • This meant cleaning out her kitchen, stocking up on healthy, and going full-on cold turkey.
  • Eat whole foods. Cut out sugar and grains. Make it easy for yourself to succeed.
  • When you begin, make sure you have lots of salt. This will help beat keto flu and can also help with cravings.
    • This, coupled with a release of inflammation, might mean you pee a lot to start!

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.
