Episode 2107 - On this Saturday show, Katherine Craig joins Vinnie and the two talk Vizslas, battling allergies with diet, dog food, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/05/battling-allergies-with-diet-episode-2107 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS 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 bandaid 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. PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched this week, January 11! Order it TODAY!

Episode 2261 - BEST OF: On this show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk about Vinnie's mom, "life into living" during the holidays, day drinking (or not), marketing sugar, affordable NSNG®, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/12/during-holidays-episode-2261 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS DURING THE HOLIDAYS Vinnie's mom, Marie, had surgery several months ago, He went home to take care of her. At the time, she weighed close to 200 lbs. Vinnie had his parents eat NSNG® while he was there, and they enjoyed it more than they thought. Since then, they have largely kept up eating healthily -- especially his mom. Vinnie's mom is now down to 135 lbs! This weight loss allowed her to do the whole Natchez Trace Parkway drive. For the Christmas show, you might have heard Marie talk about lots of non-NSNG® foods. Vinnie gets it! If he were there, he'd probably have eaten some of the unhealthy foods to a degree. But the next meal, he'd be back to strict NSNG®. Anna also puts some holiday LIL. Her family has a tradition of tamales on Christmas Eve. It's good to avoid talking about diet mentality for one meal. Simply put, it's easier to just eat and enjoy for one meal. However, if you feel you can't do LIL without spinning out of control, stick to your guns. MARKETING SUGAR Part of why people get so out of control over the holidays is the marketing. We've turned something that should be about two days of really indulging (Thanksgiving and Christmas), and made it over a month. The "pumpkin spice" movement and the like have made this so much worse. WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE [the_ad id="20253"] PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched on January 11!

Episode 2469 - On this Monday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss accountability, the need to keep working it (NSNG®), answer questions, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/04/keep-working-it-episode-2469 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Keep Working It Vinnie is very happy with the feedback he is getting from the VIP community, especially the group calls. (2:00) He’s considering re-opening the group for new members, possibly within the next couple of months. He had a call with an NSNG® fan who has been struggling recently due to stress. (10:00) Vinnie shares the advice he gave her. He recommends people find an accountability partner, if necessary. You need to keep working it, even if it gets difficult. He shares a story about “taking out the trash;” it’s a story of accountability. (18:00) They discuss mindset, what defines greatness, and the idea of getting past the idea of failure. (20:00) This reminds Vinnie of a documentary about Phil Health, a multiple Mr. Olympia winner, called "Breaking Olympia." (25:00) Vinnie talks about the documentary; as successful as Phil had been, he still doubted himself. Be aware of what you see on social media—you never truly know what people are going through. For those who struggle with emotional components around eating, do a deep dive and reassess what changes you need to make to get back on track. Listener Questions Anna asks some listener questions about: the Canadian bloodwork system possible malbsorption of nutrients if your work is already very active, do you still need to strength train They chat about too much of a good thing. Let your body rest to avoid injury. Vinnie's recent Instagram post about GLP-1 received some pushback—but he’s not going to change the message: he doesn’t think taking GLP-1 is a good solution for weight loss. (50:00) The side effects are not good! Anna shares some thoughts about peri-menopause and menopause. (59:00) Stick to NSNG®--you'll be better off during this challenging transition.

: Episode 2021 - On this special Friday show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie to talk about phony food articles, the keto flu, hormones and diabetes, our new hats, and more! Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/01/phony-food-articles-hormones-more-episode-2021 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS PHONY FOOD ARTICLES Some alleged news channels give terrible nutrition advice. CNN claimed popcorn was a great pre-dinner snack. This simply isn't the truth. You have to make sure you're finding the real science. Not opinions, or the like, but science-based fact, with no funding from the sugar or grain lobby. Articles like this are misinformation, and they make things fluffy and dumb. Turning something that should be an occasional treat to a 'healthy snack' is simply wrong. HORMONES Carbs mess with your ghrelin and leptin. And hormonally, causing your blood glucose to spike and mistreating your body with sugar and grains can make you insulin resistance. Messing up these hormones is what can lead to type 2 diabetes. Making sure you control these hormones is therefore very important. PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched this week, January 11! Order it TODAY!

Episode 2459 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich welcomes psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede to discuss how the proper diet is therapeutic, creates change for the better, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/03/change-for-the-better-with-georgia-ede-episode-2459 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Sugars and Oxidative Stress More kids than ever are presenting with psychological problems. (2:00) Vinnie mentions Robyn Dobbins who openly shares how diet has improved her mental health symptoms. People are feeding their brains improperly. (4:30) There have been decades of misinformation, so treatment has been off. Everyone deserves the right information upfront rather than having to go through multiple medications. (7:00) Georgia goes through her personal history and how she stumbled onto dietary health changes. Vinnie asks her for more details on those changes. Sweeteners have a lot of side effects. (16:00) Sugar is the only addictive substance that society sanctions for children. (20:00) It is not only addictive, it is physically damaging to the brain. (24:00) It creates oxidative stress and insulin resistance. Refined flours do the same by causing a glycogen load; as a result, your insulin is up longer. (25:00) Most people are metabolically broken, so sugars and carbs are even more harmful. If your body “needs” sugar, your body will make it. Fats and protein are essential, but carbs are not. (31:00) The FDA recommends a bunch of nonsense. And now our gut health is a topic that needs to be paid attention to. Change for the Better Vinnie knows people whose adult kids are still having issues but refuse to believe that diet can help. (38:00) Georgia always uses dietary interventions first and she has found them to be the most effective for her clients (41:00) There are certain foods the brain needs. It’s not just junk food that hurts, but also foods we’ve been told are healthy that aren’t (like whole grains). Dr. Ede's book addresses dietary therapy as a first step. (45:00) They discuss many different things that have been happening in the news are examples of declining mental health. (48:00) Bad mental health has become so common we think of it as totally normal. (50:00) Vinnie recently has heard about “safe rooms” at college—people are developmentally and emotionally less resilient. (53:00) Vinnie also worries about degenerative brain disease, CTE, and brain health. Vinnie asks how you get more N=1 cases on the books to demonstrate the advantages of diet and mental health. Changing your diet is change for the better. You can find Dr. Ede at . You can also find a clinician’s directory on her website. Another resource is the Charlie Foundation: The keto diet is safe, but there is still a transition, esp if you are on medication. Look for Vinnie’s NSNG® VIP Community and sign up for the waitlist!
