What Is Happening To Us

  • There is intense conversation in this episode, and it is not intended for children. Listener discretion is advised.
  • Dr. Lisa Strohman is an attorney, a clinical psychologist, and the founder of Digital Citizen Academy.
  • Trying not to get political, but this discussion addresses mental health issues, particularly around shootings. (3:00)
  • We are at a place where we do not accept ideological differences—why is this? (7:00)
    • Social media platforms are a big influence.
  • They discuss some of the details regarding the Charlie Kirk shooting; some of the references have to do with gaming. (11:00)
  • The current tech climate allows for a huge expansion of communication and influence. (13:00)
  • Why the need to celebrate violence against others? (21:00)
    • Hate and violence have been amplified throughout the decades, especially in political forums. (22:00)

Data and Disconnect

  • RFK Jr and the Tylenol confusion, especially surrounding autism. (42:00)
    • We have handed over true scientific research to social media influencers. (43:00)

Bad Advice from TikTok – Episode 2346

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2346 – On this Monday’s show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss bad advice from TikTok, advocating for your health, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

BAD ADVICE FROM TIK TOK

  • Vinnie was having a good day spending time with friend Dan Lynch. (3:50)
    • Dan Lynch has an impressive record—he has rowed over 1000 days in a row, 2000 meters a day.
    • He rowed even while going through chemo.
    • Dan challenges himself to streaks with daily rowing no matter what.
  • But then Vinnie opened an email that led to a guy on TikTok who claimed to lose weight while eating McDonald’s 100 days in a row. (8:00) 
    • Vinnie plays the video and Vinnie and Anna analyze what they see. (10:35)
    • They explain why they are suspicious of the video as being authentic.
    • There is skirting of details and the guy sounds coached.
    • Looking at his TikTok, the guy appears quite media savvy.
  • They review the bad dietary advice from the TikTok video. (23:30) 
    • The man in the video denies having a relationship with McDonald’s.
    • Vinnie adds some thoughts to what he’s seen and heard.
    • Anna asks a question regarding calories; CICO can help you lose weight, but it’s unsustainable.

CUE THE MUSIC

  • Vinnie tries to calm down, and the best way to do that is through Indian music and Villa Cappelli. (30:15)
  • Anna reads an email from Melissa about how NSNG has helped her during menopause. (37:20)
    • Melissa even went vegan at one point but her symptoms got worse.
    • Melissa’s email is a positive message, as opposed to the TikTok video, which is like driving an infected monkey to an airport.
    • At least The Today Show gave a disclaimer from a nutritionist verifying that eating only McDonald’s is bad advice from TikTok.
  • Vinnie shares some of the concerns he hears from people while having consultations. (42:00)
    • He hears a variety of frustrations, including with their doctors and the “sick care” system.
    • Anna and Vinnie believe there will be a  huge fallout from the weight loss drugs that are popular now.
  • Anna tells the story of a recent doctor’s visit with her husband. (45:30) 
    • She discusses his A1C and fasting glucose and other concerns.
    • Anna refers to Loren as “ASAG”, “All sugars, all grains”–and it’s starting to catch up to him.
    • You have to find a doctor that is willing to work with you and who “gets it”.
  • Vinnie tells the story of Marie’s fall, her injuries, and how Vinnie helped handle it. (50:00) 
    • You can’t let doctors automatically steamroll you— you need to advocate for yourself!
