Battling Allergies with Diet – Episode 2107

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2107 – On this Saturday show, Katherine Craig joins Vinnie and the two talk Vizslas, battling allergies with diet, dog food, and more.

KATHERINE’S STORY

  • She used to be the calorie queen — she’d eat any and all sweets.
  • Despite working in medicine, she’d eat cupcakes whenever offered.
  • One day, she ate a cupcake and had a severe allergic reaction.
    • It didn’t have anything in it that she hadn’t had before, but it kept happening.
      • They didn’t know what was wrong with her, but they gave her medication — like putting a Band-Aid on a bleeding wound without figuring out what caused it.
  • Katherine decided she needed to try something to stop the allergic reactions and her stomach issues. She began by trying paleo for one month.
    • This was mostly meat, fish, veggies and fruit.

BATTLING ALLERGIES

  • The paleo diet took away the allergic reactions and her stomach pain, but as soon as she’d start ‘cheating,’ by eating anything she wanted, she’d get the pain and allergic reactions back.
    • When she was eating badly, she was on TONS of medications and her environmental allergies.
    • She also found out she’s highly allergic to soy — at restaurants, the meat must be cooked on foil to avoid touching the grill.
  • If she has too much dairy, her environmental allergies kick back in.
  • Much of this has to do with the body’s inflammation, and when she is careful about what she eats (very low carb, no sugar, no grains), the inflammation is low enough that these allergic reactions don’t really surface.
  • NSNG® has worked for her, and it has also helped her avoid diabetes which she is predisposed to.

The Straight and Narrow – Episode 2104

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2104 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk crazy veganism, common phone calls, walking the straight and narrow to fix metabolic disorder, the effects of alcohol, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

CRAZY VEGANISM

  • One of the bad parts of veganism is the ‘splainers.
  • They spend all their time talking about how they and the way they’re living is better.
  • That’s all they talk about — and it’s an attempt at indoctrination.
  • It’s unsolicited proselytizing. 

COMMON PHONE CALLS

  • Vinnie does lots of phone consults.
  • There are three common types:
    • 1. Am I doing this right?
    • 2. I feel like I’m “plateauing.”
    • 3. I’m doing well about this, but what about life into living?
  • People feel like this is working but they have common trouble.
  • Schedule a call with him if you need some one-on-one consulting.

THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW

  • It can be tough to keep with it strictly.
  • Anna and Vinnie both suggest going all in for 60 to 120 days.
  • Sometimes people want to cut corners or change things up in a way that’s not 
  • For lots of people who are metabolically damaged, eating things like tropical fruit are making deals with themselves.
    • This is something that caused a problem from the start –– sugar –– so stay away from it.
      • No excuses and no shortcuts! Especially if you have a sugar addiction.
        • If you’re beating addiction — treat it like any other addiction.
    • Before you know it, you’ll be eating everything unhealthy more often than you’d like.

Protein Intake And Sauna Benefits – Episode 2040

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2040 – On this Wednesday show, Vinnie goes solo and talks sauna benefits, artificial detoxing, protein intake, building muscle, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

SAUNA BENEFITS

  • Vinnie is a big sauna fan.
  • He wants to build one in his home!
  • This allows him privacy while he stretches–he likes to stretch in the sauna.
  • Infrared saunas have been cropping up.
    • Studies say they’re better for you.
    • Vinnie looked into it.
  • If you have a regular sauna, air heats up to whatever temperature you’d like.
    • It’s like an oven.
    • You sweat, you reap all the benefits.
  • Infrared saunas heat up you, not the air.
    • Vinnie doesn’t think this is a bad thing.
    • Maybe these can be smaller.
    • But it seems like it provides the same benefits as a normal sauna.

PROTEIN INTAKE

  • How does protein interact with muscle building?
  • You do need protein to build muscle.
  • The best form of protein is animal protein.
  • If you work out, you probably should eat more protein than if you don’t.
  • The Bro Science window is BS, though.
    • There isn’t some 30 minute period where you must eat protein for your muscles to start building.
      • They’ll build over 36 hours or so.
  • If you do intermittent fasting, you can still build muscle so long as you do eat protein when you eat.
    • You don’t need protein 24/7.
  • Vinnie typically fasts 16 hours of the day.
  • But, if you eat too much protein (which is a lot), your body will turn it into sugar.
    • So don’t go crazy.

PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE

  • The documentary launched on January 11!
    • Order it TODAY!

Filling Meals & Personal Training – Episode 2020

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2020 – On this Wednesday show, Andy Schreiber and Vinnie Tortorich talk aerobics, filling meals, one-on-one phone calls, personal training, Playboy, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

FILLING MEALS

  • When you’re fat adapted, you can go all day without eating.
  • Sometimes, you don’t even notice you haven’t eaten, for instance.
  • For Vinnie, he’ll get to the afternoon — or even to dinner — and realize he is hungry and needs to eat.

PERSONAL TRAINING

  • Vinnie isn’t still a personal training per se.
  • However, he still does his phone consults.
  • He does this because he wants to continue to train people in some capacity.
  • For decades, Vinnie was a personal trainer and that doesn’t just go away.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

INTENSE ULTRAMARATHONS

  • Serena runs ultras.
  • She just did her first in Virginia.
  • This was a 30 mile race with 7500 feet of elevation.
    • However, it runs like a 50 miler because it is so difficult.
  • Check it out: it’s called  JARMANS INVITATIONAL MARATHON  
  • Many quit–even the most fit–but Serena finished all five laps.
  • Serena is training for additional races.
  • Luckily, the conditions likely won’t be as brutal as they were when she ran Jarmans.
    • It was hot as hell, and there was an incredibly intense thunderstorm.

LAS VEGAS KETO EXPO

  • Check out our Ultra Fat product there.
  • Next year, we will be at additional events.
