Vitamins and Gender Identity

by Vinnie Tortorich

: Episode 627 – Co-host Andy Schreiber joins Vinnie Tortorich this Wednesday on the Celebrity Fitness Trainer podcast to discuss gender identity, tonsils, vitamins, and Vinnie’s upcoming appearance at the Pasadena Icehouse.

GENDER IDENTITY

  • Vinnie is supportive of people making their own decision about their gender identity
  • However, he was just surprised that a child that young could realize their feelings regarding that
  • Andy goes on to explain how that works
    • He just had this instinctual feeling that he was not attracted to girls
      • Didn’t have to do with the sexual mechanics
  • Kids figure this out at their own pace
    • Some kids can figure out what their comfortable identity is at 5, others at 10 or 11 or older
  • Sexual identity is VERY different from something like changing food preference
  • Vinnie is just wondering where all this was when he was a kid
    • Andy believes the difference now is children are less shamed and less afraid to share their feelings
  • Caitlyn Jenner has had a role in changing the public’s idea of gender identity

PURE, WHITE, AND DEADLY

  • Dr. Yudkin
  • 1972, book written about the dangers of sugar
  • Cool thing is back in the early ’60s there was a war between Dr. John Yudkin and Ancel Keys
    • Ancel argued yes carbs, Yudkin argued sugar and carbs are bad
    • K ration in war is still based off of Keys
    • Keys only pushed sugar because it helped his wallet
      • Keys himself did not eat high carbs
        • “cereal is for the little people”
  • Sounded the alarm back in the 70s
  • Check out interesting article and also Lustig’s speech here! 
  • Yudkin was ridiculed and shamed, but posthumously it is making a comeback
  • Gladiators would stuff themselves with grains to get a layer of fat so when they fought they had something to protect them

VIDEO WE LIKE: 

NSNG COFFEE

  • Your body treats fake sweeteners and honey and stevia the same as it does all sugar
    • Agave syrup is sugar!!!
    • Causes a reaction in your liver
  • Vinnie puts one of three things in his coffee:
    • Coconut oil, for a little extra energy
    • HWC or some whole milk
    • A little bit of kerrygold butter
  • Coffee in and of itself is a flavor — if you don’t like how it tastes, then don’t drink it
    • “Just put some coffee in your coffee”
    • Remains bitter but eventually once you stop eating sugar and processed crap it won’t be so bitter
    • Same goes with all ‘bitter’ things — your taste buds will change and you’ll miss out on less
      • The fact that sugar changes your tastebuds is disconcerting enough

CHILDREN’S LUNCHES

  • Anna would rather see you pack a sandwich with hard boiled eggs and fresh veggies and such than something like a Lunchable
    • So processed and chemical-y
  • At the very least, nothing should be a processed food in a package
  • Carrots, cucumbers, nuts, apples, peanut butter, eggs, etc.
  • Just because food is from somewhere with healthy options doesn’t mean it is healthy
  • Kids having a knowing within them if you start to awaken it

WEIGHT TRAINING

  • Fan of Vinnie wanted to know how many sets/reps to achieve a certain ‘deal’
  • Wanted to know about how to add chest muscle
    • Are chest flies worth it vs bench press?
      • If you have a lot of time, use flies to complement bench press
        • If you strictly want to add muscle meat, do bench press then incline press
        • Flies are worth it if you have time to do it
      • Bang for your buck comes from presses
  • Vinnie does bicep curls with 5/10/15lb weights
    • He is rehabbing and doesn’t want to press it
    • He will not continue once he gets back to 30/40/50lbs
      • Then, he will do pull ups etc.
      • Vinnie doesn’t like what curl biceps look like
        • Too Mark Wahlberg for his taste
          • real boobs vs. fake boobs
          • Curl biceps look too done
      • Vinnie is also a fan of lat pulls
        • Use a band attached to the top of your door if you don’t have anything else
        • Pull down to your clavicle
  • Vinnie likes a little extra tricep
  • A crossfit body is a good body, but lots of people get hurt doing crossfit because of bad instruction
