Guidelines and GLP-1s

  • Dr. Gary Fettke was in Vinnie’s first documentary, “FAT: a documentary.”
  • They discuss how dietary messaging has changed over the years. (8:00)
  • Whole foods, including animal proteins, are the optimal way to get nutrients. (15:00)
  • They discuss CGMs and how helpful they can be for awareness of what certain foods do to your blood glucose. (20:30)
    • Your body responds to everything you eat; however, some foods raise glucose levels more than others.
    • A CGM can help you discover your personal response and bioindividuality.
  • They discuss the U.S. Food Pyramid and RFK’s take on it.
    • Following the previous dietary guidelines has not helped; in fact, it seems to have made things worse.
    • For example, approximately 40% of the U.S. military members are overweight because of food served in military commissaries. (32:00)
  • The Magic Pill documentary is fantastic viewing. (33:00)
  • Vinnie asks Gary his opinion on GLP-1s. (41:00)
    • The mechanisms in the body when using a GLP-1 are very similar to being on a low-carb, ketogenic diet. (44:00)
    • Significant weight loss requires keeping protein levels up to help offset muscle loss. (48:00)
    • Exercise is very important, and can help with loose skin.

The Third Rail

  • They discuss Gary’s experience during the COVID pandemic, or “the third rail.” (57:30)
    • He also shares thoughts about the recent hearings where Anthony Fauci and he “pleaded the Fifth” 111 times.
    • The result of the pandemic is a percentage of the population realizing not to mindlessly follow medical authorities, which is good.
    • Stay inquisitive and question what comes across the news and social media.
  • Alcohol dampens T-cell lymphocytes’ function; ketones will boost them. (1:17:00)

Recovering COVID 19 Long Haulers – Episode 1916

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1916 – On this Friday show, Tammy Krotz joins Vinnie Tortorich to talk Tammy’s journey as one of many COVID 19 long haulers, Dr. Teitelbaum’s help with supplements and medicines, getting her life back on track, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

COVID 19 LONG HAULERS

  • Tammy got COVID19 in June 2020.
  • She is an elementary school teacher.
  • When she caught it, she didn’t feel well, but she certainly didn’t feel terrible or hospitalization-worthy.
    • Tammy was in good shape.
  • She got it after going to an outdoor concert, or from the friend with whom she attended the concert.
    • There were around 25 people at the event, and she did distance, typically.
    • Of course, it’s also possible one of them got it elsewhere, or something similar.
  • At the time, she was at least relieved she had gotten it out of the way without a bad case… but she was wrong.
  • Between June and August, after she had COVID 19, she felt okay.
    • Then, in August, she had severe aches and pains and was absolutely exhausted.
      • Her body felt like it was failing her with the fatigue and the like.
  • For the whole year, she felt absolutely terrible — foggy, pain, fatigue, and more. Her doctor told her a lot of people relapse like this.
    • Nobody could help her — essentially, they didn’t have answers and sent her to a support group.
      • The support group is helpful. There are 180,000 people in the Facebook group, and so many can’t even get out of bed.

TREATMENT

  • She sought out Dr. Teitelbaum because she did not want to live like this.
  • He has been on the show before.
  • The Dr. looked at her lab work in great detail.
    • Because he focuses on fibromyalgia and energy issues, he was a great person to work with.
  • Neither Tammy nor Vinnie are doctors.
  • Dr. Teitelbaum put her on several supplements: Vitamin 3, smart energy system, and some supplements to help with her pain.
    • These targeted her energy and her sleep to start.
  • Over the course of time, he also helped her with prescriptions medicines to help her thyroid and other centers of hormonal control.
