Staying Fit Healthily & Battling Addiction with Mike Catherwood – Episode 2101

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2101 – On this Friday show, Mike Catherwood joins Vinnie Tortorich, and the two talk about Tom Leykis, Mike’s career in radio, battling addiction, staying fit healthily, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

CAREER IN RADIO

  • Mike is a great voice on the radio.
  • You might know him as Psycho Mike from KROQ.
    • KROQ is a hugely influential force in Los Angeles.
  • He also co-hosted the famous radio show, Loveline, for six years.
  • Mike got to KROQ in 2003.
    • He grew up listening to the station.
  • Before radio, he was an aspiring musician but as that didn’t take off full-time, he found his way to radio.
    • Initially, he wanted to be a songwriter and he played bass and guitar. 
    • His first gig in radio was in production on a morning show.

BATTLING ADDICTION

  • Earlier in his life, he suffered from addiction during this time.
  • He would have long periods of blacking out and was struggling.
  • Mike had done so much damage before he got the help that stuck.
    • He would be clean for a few weeks, but he couldn’t stay clean.
  • The most recent time he (and hopefully the last time he’ll have to) got sober, he finally realized this was something he had to do to save himself.
  • Mike follows the twelve-step program, but he recognizes it’s not for everyone.
  • It’ll be 20 years of sobriety for Mike later this year!
    • this means he’ll have been in recovery for half of his life.
  • It’s important to Mike that he not forget about this period of time.
    • He’s proud of the man he is now — not reckless, a family man.

STAYING FIT HEALTHILY

  • Mike looks amazing and stays in great shape.
  • He even inspires Vinnie to keep working out!
  • For Mike, he had to make sure that he did not overdo it with working out.
    • He had to find synergy between his mental health and his p
  • For a while, he was genuinely addicted to lifting weights and looking better.
    • His addiction bled over to his body.
      • This wasn’t healthy for him.
    • He didn’t care how many steroids he took, and he was still never comfortable in his skin.
  • Finally, a few years ago, he found how to find comfort in what he was doing and in his relationship with food.
    • He now focuses on developing himself positively emotionally and physically.

Fighting Health Misinformation – Episode 1924

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1924 – On this Monday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk fighting health misinformation, the ‘freemium’ model, vegan Cam Newton, super-fan donations, helping your kids with their health, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

FIGHTING HEALTH MISINFORMATION

  • This show is giving away lots of information for free.
  • We love that! That’s how it should be.
  • However, we do need your support: please click through our website to Amazon.
    • It puts coal in the fire.
  • Vinnie thinks this is important enough that he’s willing to give their time and money to it.
  • And others, like Anna and Gina work on this show.
  • Vinnie would be ‘working smarter’ if he shut this podcast down and put that energy elsewhere with his businesses, but he’ll never do that.
    • Vinnie’s fighting misinformation, and that requires a lot of effort.

CAM NEWTON

  • Cam Newton, former MVP, was recently released from the Patriots.
  • Nobody knows precisely why.
  • However, his performance declined in recent years.
  • Additionally, he was oft-injured and slow to recover.
  • Interestingly, several years ago, Cam Newton also began a vegan.
  • He doesn’t look as strong nowadays.

HELPING YOUR KIDS

  • It’s important to make sure your kids have a healthy relationship with food.
  • Not making too big a deal is usually the way to go.
  • Vinnie believes if your kid is stuck on eating carbs, allow your kid those foods so long as they’re also eating healthy foods, too.
  • When it comes to health-related stuff, you have to trust your kids have an innate sense of wanting to look and feel good.
  • Lead by example, and invite your kids to join you — don’t force them.
  • You can also buy fewer junk foods and let them pick out something they want from time to time.
  • Cooking with your kids is another great way to show them how yummy healthy foods can be.

Crazy Milks & Unconscious Weight Gain – Episode 1923

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1923 – On this Sunday School episode, the lovely Gina Grad joins Vinnie Tortorich to talk unconscious weight gain, crazy milks, Vinnie’s new doc, news, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

UNCONSCIOUS WEIGHT GAIN

  • Gina has received lots of compliments about her weight recently.
  • She realizes she didn’t receive the same sort of attention to her figure when she gained weight.
    • People don’t tend to comment on this, and that’s part of why it can sneak up on you.
  • Now, she’s feeling much more confident.
    • Gina is walking miles a day, which has also helped.

CRAZY MILKS

  • There are many insane milks.
  • Milk isn’t really milk unless it comes from an animal!
  • A new company is making milk from fungi.
  • If you are that against cows milk, don’t drink it at all!!! (and don’t drink these ‘milks’)
  • Vinnie would also recommend that most avoid milk altogether.

Getting Back on Track And “Dirty Keto” – Episode 1689

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1689 – On this Monday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk getting back on track, victory laps, safely cycling, the slippery slope of eating sugar, “dirty keto,” food labeling and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

GETTING BACK ON TRACK

  • Sometimes people fall off track.
  • COVID-19 hasn’t helped a lot of people.
  • However, don’t keep making excuses to get back on track.
  • Vinnie can help you if you schedule a phone consult.
  • The Facebook group (which is free) is also a good resource.
  • Start TODAY, not tomorrow, not next week.
    • Saying “I’ll start on Monday” makes it easier to keep pushing that back.
      • You need to break the addiction.

SAFELY CYCLING

  • Vinnie wants to get back into bikes.
  • He doesn’t want to ride on the road anymore – it is simply too dangerous with distracted drivers.
  • He’s going to take up gravel riding!
  • Really kindly, an NSNG®er is giving Vinnie a bike because he is grateful for what Vinnie’s done for him.

DIRTY KETO AND EATING SUGAR

  • You can lie to yourself but you can’t lie to your liver.
  • Dirty keto is not going to convince your body that you’re healthy.
    • Your brain will still make the bad hormones and those cravings won’t go away.

FAT DOC IS OUT

  • You can also buy hardcopy or watch online at Amazon.
  • YOU CAN NOW STREAM FOR FREE ON AMAZON PRIME IF YOU HAVE IT!
  • Fat Doc 2 is in the works! Keep an eye out.
