The Devil in the Details – Episode 2195

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2195 – On this Wednesday’s show, Vinnie Tortorich speaks to return guest Katelyn Goodwin, and they chat about covid-based frustrations, working at a  cardiology branch of a hospital, how the devil is in the details (in material), and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

THE DEVIL IN THE DETAILS

  • Vinnie and Kim start the show with some talk about frustrations during covid. (2:24)
    • From various inconsistencies to supply chain issues, they each have details and stories that were frustrating.
  •  The conversation switches to talking about the movie “Rocky”. (13:50)
    • They also chat about some of the details of the backstory in the movie getting made.
  • Vinnie asks Kim about her experience working in a cardiac hospital and what recommendations would be given to the patients there. (19:15)
    • The food choices are rarely good, and there is no real guidance.
  • This leads to a discussion about wearing scrubs and stretchy materials; as a result, folks ignore the signs of weight gain because the fabric is more “forgiving”. (23:40)
    • Things like brands changing clothing sizes is a detail that has changed, too. 
    • Vinnie and Kim also discuss that there shouldn’t be fat shaming; however, normalizing or glorifying morbid obesity isn’t a good message either, because it ignores health issues. (33:00)
    • Vinnie mentions he would train Lizzo for free because she could have such a great, positive impact and influence others. (34:50)
    • Stretchy material will always tell you you’re ok–it’s the Devil.

Sticking to This Way of Life – Episode 1917

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

WAY OF LIFE

  • Michael has been on the show before.
  • He committed to this lifestyle when he realized he had nothing left to lose.
  • At his lowest, he was around 160 lbs.
  • Currently, he sits around 245.
    • His clothes that fit at 225 still fit — he’s primarily gained muscle.
  • During the shut down, he fell off the wagon.
    • He lost track of this way of life.
      • He got lazy in shutdown and the like.
  • Importantly, Michael lost 8 medications!
    • He feels better and he is quite clearly healthier.
      • He’s been on meds for so long, and it’s freeing to get off.
    • Drugs mask the real problem; this way of life has allowed him to address the real problem: his diet and weight.

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.
