Always Be Learning

  • Last year, Vinnie and Serena went on a vacation for the first time in a very long time. (6:00)
    • It was also the first time in a long time that Vinnie went water skiing.
    • Once he recovered from an injury, he was inspired to return to the activities he hadn’t done for years. (16:00)
    • He shares a skiing story that is a reminder to keep getting up after failing. (20:00)
  • Vinnie gives an update on getting creatine into Pure Vitamin Club’s product line. (34:00)

Benefits of CCTA Scans

  • Vinnie is interested in learning more about reversal of plaque in the arteries. (37:00)
    • For many years, medicine has stated that once plaque build-up happened, it could not be reversed.
  • Chris summarizes an article from Cardiovascular Business Journal. (40:00)
    • CCTA scans appear to show progression of disease in stages now, which was unavailable before.
    • However, using the test should be limited since it uses contrast radiation.
    • A CAC score tells you if you have plaque or not.
  • The CCTA (Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography) examines how much plaque, where it’s located, and its progression. (50:00)
  • Doctors and Big Pharma have been pushing Repatha. (52:00)
    • It came out in 2016 and did basically nothing. And then, it’s jumped 37% year over year.
      • The company made $953 million in sales in the second quarter this year of Repatha alone.
    • Many people are on multiple drugs.
      • Many times some of the drugs are addressing symptoms caused by other drugs they are taking. (56:00)
  • Never be passive about your health when consulting with your medical professional. Always advocate for yourself. (1:08:00)
  • Check out the Aletha Hip HookTM that Vinnie uses to reduce pain and increase mobility:

Turning Life Around with NSNG® – Episode 2017

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2017 – On this Saturday show, Terri Barnhardt joins Vinnie and the two talk Colorado snow, Terri’s journey, diabetes development, turning life around with NSNG®, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

TERRI’S JOURNEY

  • Terri is based out of Colorado.
    • She’s waiting for more snow.
  • She was always reasonably heavy.
    • At around age 21, she worked in Grand Canyon, and still gained 60 lbs in 9 months.
    • At the time, her doctor just told her to cut down on the peanut butter.
    • This weight gain occurred while she was active each day.
    • The diet was made up of lots of Mexican food (rice and beans), lots of margaritas, heavy carbs.
  • She continued gaining weight, and developed diabetes, was on statins, and the like.
  • When she was type 2, around 2012, her A1C was 13.3.
    • Then, she ballooned up from there.

TURNING LIFE AROUND

  • In about 2016, she was diagnosed with two separate types of cancer that were unrelated within two months.
  • She had kidney cancer and bone cancer in her opposite leg.
  • Her kidney surgery happened first, and then she underwent leg surgery.
  • At that point, she heard cancer would kill her or at least take her leg.
  • She had metal parts.
  • Terri then found a doctor who told her she needed to lose 100 lbs. or he would put her on full time oxygen.
    • Weight Watchers didn’t work.
    • Then, she found NSNG®.
    • She went all in, and it changed her life.
  • It took Terri a few weeks to figure out where her good intentions were being stolen.
  • She got off all of her insulin within six weeks.
  • She had other incredible developments, along with her weight loss, too.
  • Terri feels this way of living saved her life.
