BRYSON’S STORY

Bryson is a Virginia guy, recording from Silicon Valley
- Graphic designer – artsy and athletic
He is a fan of this podcast, and a fan of Vinnie generally
- Active on the FB page
Went to Dartmouth and ran varsity track and cross country there for four years
- An incredible athlete!
- 30:39 for his 10k
- Sub 15 minutes for his 5k
He ate a lot in college, but was always fit and thin
- Right after college, he felt like he blew up
- Ate the same way, but the weight just packed right on
- Vinnie put on a layer of fat after playing college ball, too!
Coming up on 30, he was 214 lbs
- Lost the weight doing calorie in calorie out
- He kept it off for awhile but it never felt healthy
Ended up getting back to 220 lbs

LOSING LBS

In 2014, he wanted to lose those pounds when he got up to 220 lbs
- Started back with calorie in calorie out
Found Vinnie via the Carolla effect
Started June 14th 2016
- Is now down to 185ish
- 6’1″
Was running a lot and had a stress fracture, but he is staying down without running a step
He can keep the weight off with a busy schedule and two young kids with no exercise!
Wants to get down to 175 lbs
He is currently plateauing
- Eggs are always the best bet for breakfast
- Get the good eggs- worth the extra few cents per egg
- 2-3 eggs are sufficient
- Snacks on cucumber and almonds
- Hits gym in the evening
- May have some sugar sneaking into his meat heavy dinner
  - Cutting this out may help his plateau
He indulges in ice cream sundaes with his kids
- Ends up eating a pint of ice cream on Friday night
  - It turns into the whole weekend
- If he cuts this out cold turkey, he will likely find more success

: Episode 1057 – Listener and Kiwi athlete Mark Thomson joins Vinnie this Saturday, and the two talk the new Fat Doc, helping those who want help, Mark’s NSNG story, and more!

HELPING THOSE WHO WANT HELP

People will use an exception to make a rule
For example, “Asian people eat rice, why aren’t they fat?”
- They eat incredibly healthily otherwise!
- Lots of fish, vegetables, etc
If people don’t want to believe something, it’s hard to convince them
Vinnie is here to help people who want help
Hopefully, his documentary will help others realize they want the help
Vinnie is not going to be making money off of his doc, but he feels this message is so important!
- Many want help but don’t know the truth

MARK THOMSON

Mark ate everything growing up
He is incredibly sport-oriented
He was gaining weight while doing hours of kayaking and biking a day
NSNG allowed that weight gain to stop
He is now healthier than ever and still kayaking and biking a ton
Heard Tim Noakes and it made a lot of sense to him
- A familiar story
Mark sea kayaks!
- Works on his own boats, as well

DR. RANGAN CHATTERJEE

Out of med school, he was so excited to help people
- Attended University of Edinburgh Medical School
However, he felt in medicine he was too focused
- Became a generalist, because he wanted to see how all parts of the body worked together
Frustrated that most of his day was filling out prescriptions and handing out pills
- This didn’t even help most of his patients!
His son, as a baby, nearly died from Vitamin D deficiency
- He thought, “how did this happen to my son, and how did I, a doctor, know nothing about it?”
- Many babies have this deficiency, and doctors don’t talk about it relatively often
- This started his mission to figure out how to permanently fix his son
- He ended up reading so much info that could help others, too!
He finally understood the root causes of conditions
Found himself with a TV show called Doctor In The House
- He has helped people reverse panic attacks, type 2 Diabetes, fibromyalgia, etc.
  - A woman went from in the type 2 Diabetic range to normal in around a month period
  - She also lost a good amount of weight in the process
  - He did this by cutting out sugars and grains and processed foods
  - Many of these diseases come from inflammation
- He didn’t want the fights on TV, but he also wanted to help as many people as possible
  - Some tried to sway him from his ultra-successful approach
  - People got scared from the other (wrong) sources even though his results were amazing
  - Social media is fortunately allowing for the rapid exchange of info, so more people are learning about the good
Main factors for our health –
- Four pillars:
- Sleep more
- Move more
- Relax more
- And we need to cut out these junk, processed foods!
Just released a new book, How to Make a Disease Disappear
- Already a bestseller, and one of Vinnie’s must-reads

MAIL BAG

A lady was having trouble with the website

- It is all a team around here
- We will continue to help!
People praise our customer service, as well

- Work really hard to serve everyone
Received some mail about how much the Vitamin D has helped someone’s sleep
- After just a couple of weeks, totally changed her sleep quality for the better
- She figured she got enough Vitamin D from sun, but it seems she wasn’t!

No Sugar No Grains #NSNG – REAL Before and After Stories – Cortney Suderman

by Vinnie Tortorich

Cortney’s Real Before and After Story , from her letter to Vinnie.

I was an athlete growing up and even managed to make the cut walking on to a D1 college rowing team. Once I was done with college the weight piled on easily. I was up and down and then back up plus an extra few, for years I went through this cycle. I have tried every fad diet out there, and I mean everything and always with eventual failure. Skip ahead a few more years and two kids later and I was an overweight mom. I hated what I had become but mostly hated what I was now modeling for my kids. I wanted us to be an adventurous family, I wanted them to be outdoors and love activity.

When I found NSNG through the first “Carolla effect” I was broken. Mentally, physically, and metabolically. I never truly weighed in at first because I was too scared to see the numbers but I know I was around 215 pounds. I am 5’5” so that was not a good thing.

Today I am healthy and strong. I weigh 155, give or take a couple, very consistently. More importantly I am myself again! I have learned to love running and have gotten back into triathlon. I’ve even tried new things like trail running. This last year I ran my first full marathon, multiple shorter races, completed a sprint tri, and an 18 and 20 mile trail race! In a couple weeks I will be trying for my first 50k. I am now in the body that my ambitious mind deserves and I cannot thank you enough for showing me the way!!!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You have changed my life and my family’s life!
