by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2337 – On this Monday’s show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk about artificial sweeteners, fighting sugar addiction with tough love and delayed gratification, and much more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

TOUGH LOVE AND DELAYED GRATIFICATION

  • Vinnie starts the show by noting that he has been approached by several prominent health experts for a possible “summit” event. (2:00)
    • He gets a little concerned because he wants to ensure the NSNG® message stays as pure as possible.
  • The WHO (World Health Organization) recently released an article that discourages using artificial sweeteners. (15:30)
    • Vinnie was giving this advice since the 1980s!
    • Anna reads the article and they discuss why they are a problem.
      • They do not help with long-term weight loss and other undesirable effects. 
      • But then the WHO contradicts itself by saying things like raw sugar and fruit sugars can be ok.
      • The problem with sweet & sugary flavors is that they keep the addiction active, instead of breaking a bad habit. (17:30)
    • Anna and Vinnie dive deeper into the frustration of sugar addiction and how people try to find workarounds and “cheats”. (26:00)
      • Here comes the tough love and delayed gratification (artificial and real sugars) and the benefits of both. (28:00)
      • The only way to get better is to cut out what is causing the problem!
      • Some of Anna’s long-term successes that she has achieved are when she made peace with and accepted delayed gratification.
        • She makes some great points about the benefits of that behavior.
        • Vinnie adds some great examples of his own about this. (32:50)

PERI-MENOPAUSE AND MORE

  • Anna transitions to talking about the challenges of peri-menopause/menopause based on a message she received. (35:40)
    • Starting NSNG® should help with some of the symptoms, and book a consultation with Vinnie if you need some help.
    • Your body doesn’t respond the same way as when you are younger; NSNG® can help you with your hormonal balance.
  • Vinnie shares a question he received from a pregnant listener and his very practical response. (37:30)
  • Also, they talk a bit about not being carb-phobic; Anna elaborates. (50:00)
  • They finish up with some recipe ideas, and Anna rips open the time-space continuum.
  • Also, listen for the May promo code for NSNG® Foods’ UltraFat offer!

Demonizing Saturated Fat with Dr. Paul Mason – Episode 1576

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1576 – Dr. Paul Mason joins Vinnie on this Friday show, and the two talk the attempted silencing of Gary Fettke, the scientific establishment, wrongly demonizing saturated fat, lectin and Parkinson’s disease, exercise efficiency and more!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

DR. PAUL MASON

  • He hails from Sydney, Australia.
  • Gary Fettke and he are good friends.
    • The way politicians and the establishment came after Gary & others like him without science backing them should cause people to lose faith in establishment doctors.
  • He is very passionate about giving nutrition advice based on sound science.
  • Anecdotally, he epidemiologically notices the link between lectin & diseases such as Parkinson’s.
    • Lectin is found in higher quantities in grains and legumes.
      • Dr. Mason is wary of vegetarian and vegan diets as a result.
  • The actual science is that when people are properly fat adapted, they are more efficient athletes.
    • They’ll actually use less oxygen.

DEMONIZING SATURATED FAT

  • The elephant in the room is saturated fat–it’s almost an ideology surrounding how we treat and wrongly hate saturated fat.
    • There have been at least three comprehensive studies that show that saturated fat is not the demon.
      • These studies had delays in publishing.
      • People went into these studies hoping to prove themselves right.
        • That saturated fat wasn’t bad was disappointing news to many scientists/doctors/etc.
  • Dr. Mason recognizes that when findings contradict the establishment, they’re largely buried.
  • Faith that we have in the scientific process, as a result, may not be so warranted.
