Dr. Natascha and Overmedication

by Vinnie Tortorich

:Episode 564 – Listener and NSNG success story “Dr. Natascha” discusses the problem of overmedication in the U.S., what people are taught is healthy, and how to properly educate patients on what IS healthy as a doctor on this Friday edition of the Celebrity Fitness Trainer podcast.

DR. NATASCHA

  • Not including her last name, for anonymity sake
  • An old caller — both she and her husband have called in multiple times
  • Originally from Germany, also plays the cello!

STATINS & OVERMEDICATION

  • Good to get a full particle panel before starting (and stopping) statins
    • You might not need a statin
    • A lot of doctors cannot read a particle test
      • Triglycerides, LDLs (low — bring sugar into your body to store), HDLs (high — poop stuff out), VLDLs (very low)
  • Statin can just modulate your putting ‘crap’ into your body
    • If you are eating very healthily, there are few people who actually need a statin

EATING “HEALTHY” FORTIFIED FOODS AND AVOIDING FATS

  • On the box, it says that it is “fortified” iron and healthy wheat
    • Wheat is never healthy
    • You don’t need to “fortify” a steak — it already has iron
  • Real food already has all of the vitamins and minerals so you do not need to eat fortified foods
  • Creatine is made by your body already, and is also found in meat — you don’t need pills!
  • We don’t need to be concerned with obscure things like Riboflavin
    • Never has been an issue before, so why are people making it an issue now?
  • People want to be healthy, but they turn on the TV, and the TV says a microwavable weight watchers meal is what is best
    • What must change is what people are taught 
      • Fat is NOT the enemy!

EDUCATING PEOPLE ABOUT NSNG

  • When Dr. Natascha gets new patients, she has to try to figure out whether or not she should mention NSNG
    • Some people will not hear it
    • She works in a hospital where the cafeteria serves high-carbs
  • What will help people short and long term?
  • She tries to educate those who will listen, and those who have time to try this lifestyle with some error
  • Doctors also have guidelines and ratings
    • Insurance or a board will look at why diabetics have high levels and no statin, even when really they should be NSNG and be even healthier
    • A healthy patient is not a widget
      • There are so many factors
  • Start with sugar is bad, limit your sugar, and educate on the different types of sugar
    • ex: fruit juice extract is still a sugar
    • Check out Food Politics here 
      • Ignore the nutritional part of this book, but the politics and laws and money and food history is interesting
    • Another great book here is Salt Sugar Fat:

FRUIT & OTHER SNACKS

  • Fruit went away in the winter years ago
    • Now because of GMOs and other methods, people eat fruit year round
      • Dangerous in a way due to the fact that sugar is so readily available even when naturally it should not be
  • Sugar is sugar, but still a better option than a snickers bar
  • In the 70s, things like Wheat Thins, and Protein bars, and “Healthy” Meal Replacements did not exist
    • People just ate real food
    • People have a powerful wrong perception of what is healthy due to the industry
