Health Shouldn’t Be Political with Nina Teicholz – Episode 2086

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2086 – On this Friday show, Nina Teicholz joins Vinnie for another appearance on the podcast, and the two talk shadow banning, how health shouldn’t be political, following the science, obstacles in changing the way you eat, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

SHADOW BANNING

  • This is not a good thing.
  • Vinnie believes he and others like him have been the subject of shadow banning on social media.
  • Shadow banning is bad for democracy and doesn’t help depolarization of this country.
  • When folks got along and could be respectful, things were better.

HEALTH SHOULDN’T BE POLITICAL

  • Health has been politicized.
  • This shouldn’t be the case.
  • Meat was demonized, and those who ate meat didn’t care for the environment.
  • But the science doesn’t support these positions.
  • Politicizing it means that we don’t really hear or engage with the science.
  • We see this in things like meatless Mondays and vegan Fridays. 
    • Encouraging children to go vegan while the science shows that this is not the way to eat for healthy growth and development isn’t right.
    • And for many children, school is where they get their biggest meals.
    • Studies have shown that children who eat meat do better.
  • In Belgium, you can go to jail for feeding your child a vegan diet because it is not good for them. 
    • There, the science talks.
  • Nina wrote a great op-ed on this. Check it out here: https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-the-real-risks-of-vegan-fridays-20220211-uvx5kccnkzfwpa6vr7kilfx52m-story.html
  • You can also do your own experiment with your health. What makes you feel good? What helps you get healthier?

Treating & Preventing Migraines with Dr. Angela Stanton – Episode 2066

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2066 – On this Friday show, Dr. Angela Stanton joins Vinnie Tortorich to discuss her work in neuroeconomics, learning about finance, treating and preventing migraines, sodium levels, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

NEUROECONOMICS

  • Dr. Angela has a Ph.D. in economics.
    • But her dissertation was on pure neuroscience.
  • She is a neuroeconomist.
  • This means she runs neuroscience experiments and actual clinical trials.
    • When she looks at the outcome, she looks through financial models.

FINANCIAL SUCCESS

  • Don’t focus too much on the books.
  • The market is what you make it.
    • It isn’t what people you it is.
  • Dr. Stanton focused on the market for a long time and did well doing so.
    • She says — who cares what other people buy? 
      • She’s an investor who buys from companies she would use the products of and companies she trusts.
        • Tesla was one of these.

PREVENTING MIGRAINES

  • Much of Dr. Stanton’s work focuses on migraines.
  • A migrainer has more neurons associated with sensory neurons.
    • This explains sensitivity to light, for example.
  • Reducing sodium is a problem because having a satisfactory sodium level is important for brain health; especially for those with migraines.
  • Additionally, glucose removes sodium from your cells when you eat glucose.
  • Notably, eating a high glucose diet creates friction that contributes to migraines.
  • If you take carbs out of your diet, you can see the effects if you suffer from migraines — assuming you get enough sodium.
  • Many feel that they feel ‘dried out when they eat carbs.’
  • Eating salt and taking electrolytes is very important, too.
  • Check out her book here.

Making a Difference & Ignoring Hate – Episode 2039

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2039 – On this Monday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk making a difference, crazy vegans, making stuff up, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

  • Vinnie is committed to making a difference.
  • And as a result, he gets a lot of hate.
    • Vegans call him murderer, he faces other issues.
  • This does put him in a bad mood sometimes.
  • But for Vinnie, it’s just so much more important to keeping spreading truth about health and nutrition.
  • Some folks seem a bit (or, very) crazy when it comes to Vinnie and those who eat meat.
    • In this podcast, Vinnie plays a ‘talk’ from someone whose position was, as Anna and Vinnie said, quite out there (to put it out there).
