Committing to NSNG® - Episode 1722
: Episode 1722 - On this Saturday show, listener Andrea Novick joins Vinnie to talk failed CICO programs, reducing inflammation, committing to NSNG®, overcoming plateaus, and more! Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/11/committing-to-nsng-episode-1722 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods COMMITTING TO NSNG® Andrea is 45. She thinks NSNG® has helped her age backwards. Vinnie sees her on the Facebook page sometimes. She has lost about 103 lbs. Andrea looks like a different person! Andrea knows she started over 300 lbs. Her scale actually didn't register her weight. She's now about 207 lbs. A week in, the inflammation in her face was way down. NSNG® simply isn't that hard, she says. You just need to dedicate yourself. Andrea found Vinnie via her husband via the Carolla Show. This was much easier than dieting She had tried Jenny Craig and WW -- neither worked well, and both were very difficult. As soon as you stop starving yourself, you gain the weight back, she attests. The PDF is her favorite. She reads it every week or so. It's a commitment. Her husband has also lost to 30 lbs. They committed together. She went cold turkey and now has no cravings and didn't have withdrawals. You just have to make the decision that sugar & grains are poison. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

The Nutrition Myth Buster: Dr. Jonny Bowden - Episode 1721
: Episode 1721 - On this Friday show, Dr. Jonny Bowden, the nutrition myth buster, joins Vinnie to talk personal training, overcoming nutritional cognitive dissonance, affecting change in underserved communities, COVID-19 co-morbidities, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/11/the-nutrition-myth-buster-jonny-bowden-episode-1721 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli Crowd Cow DR. JONNY BOWDEN In his 40s, he got the nutrition and fitness bug. He had a masters in psychology, so always liked learning more. He got super into working out, became certified by various methods to become a personal trainer. An Equinox gym hired him after he hung around and worked on himself enough. He was a low fat, calorie guy for a long time. The certifying organizations really sold him these lies. However, then Jonny heard about Atkins. Some of his clients tried it and he saw how it actually worked. They were thinner, lower blood pressure, and more. He had cognitive dissonance and he needed to figure out how that worked. Jonny began thinking: What if what we've been taught is simply not true? THE NUTRITION MYTH BUSTER Dr. Bowden now understands that low carb is the way to go. You can't outrun or out-exercise a bad diet. Because Jonny became so interested in all of this, he ended up getting a PhD in nutrition! Check out his books on nutrition myth busting here: https://jonnybowden.com/products/books/ Eating low carb strengthens your immune system. You build your house by eating well. He isn't insulin resistant, he doesn't have metabolic disease. This is huge for your ability to beat viruses like coronavirus. Real food in its real form is the MOST IMPORTANT thing in Dr. Bowden's opinion. If you're doing this, you'll eat way fewer carbs and more fat is it happens. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

Turkey Tips with Anna - Episode 1720
: Episode 1720 - On this special Wednesday show, Anna joins Vinnie to talk Christmas trees, Thanksgiving recipes, Turkey Tips, and more! Have a wonderful, safe holiday. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/11/turkey-tips-with-anna-episode-1720 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods TURKEY TIPS Don't be afraid of turkey! Anna has perfect her turkey recipe over the years. You need to dry brine the turkey. If you have the first Eat Happy book, go look at the Easiest Roast Chicken recipe. Take it out today. Pour salt on inside and outside and put in back in the fridge. Dry brine is much easier than wet brine. This cures the skin, makes it moister and more flavorful. Get out a stick or two of butter with your turkey in front of you. Tuck the wings underneath. Poke the finger between skin and meat on breast, shove in pats of butter. Rub the rest of your butter all over the turkey. If you have anchovy paste, add a tablespoon to your butter before you shove it under the skin/rub the rest over. You can add fresh herbs too. Or, put quarter of onion and some herbs in the cavity. Put turkey in oven for 30 or 45 minutes before you baste it. But make sure the roasting pan has some chicken stock in. At least half a cup to coat the bottom of the pan! Anna only bastes every 20 to 30 minutes. She takes it fully out of the oven to do this. 12 lb bird takes two and a half to three hours. Check out the recipes on Anna's website here: https://annavocino.com/nsng-low-carb-thanksgiving-round/ Prep in advance or have a helper for other foods. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

They pulled Anna's cookbook because it didn't include "nutritional information." No duh, it's a cookbook. Anna isn't trying to give people a diet plan or the like. They should be able to make and enjoy what they want! She's working on this. Stay posted please! EAT HAPPY KITCHEN Anna has a great NSNG approved marinara out. Grab some before it sells. Next up, we have taco seasoning and a rib seasoning. More products are coming too. Look for them in the new year. SPARKLING WATER Flavored sparkling waters like LaCroix are good. Make sure there isn't any added sugar. Tonic water has sugar in it. AVOID this. Soda water is ok! So is club soda, mineral water. Vinnie highly recommends the SodaStream.

Dominic D'Agostino rejoins Vinnie Tortorich to discuss ketogenic diets, the relationship between keto and weight loss, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/11/best-of-keto-weight-loss-dr-dominic-dagostino-episode-1718 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods DR. DOMINIC D'AGOSTINO Dominic has been coming on the show since the very start. He is the associate professor at USF, college of medicine. He's in the department of molecular pharmacology and physiology. Dr. D'Agostino is also senior research scientist at Institute for Human and Machine Cognition. He has his PhD, of course . Susan Masino is a colleague of his. Check out his website here. http://www.ketonutrition.org/ He is a big proponent of the ketogenic diet. Check out his book here. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0190497998/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=vinnitorto-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0190497998&linkId=61491ce009dc9a9f321b0f2edde8f556 KETOSIS AND SEIZURE CONTROL Dr. D'Agostino started doing research for ketogenic diet in 2010. He did substantial research into deep diving seizures and a ketogenic diet. KETO AND WEIGHT LOSS There was a study that came out that said ketogenic diet was not conducive to weight loss. This contradicts much of what we know! From the medical community that implements this diet for medical purposes, even they agree that this diet is helpful for weight loss. Weight loss is a "side effect" of ketosis. Ketosis dampens your appetite. When you are eating ketogenic diet, you will feel more sated from less. You also stop eating less processed crap which is the stuff that makes you hungrier. Exogenous ketones: these are the ketones that you can consume in powder. This can help get into ketosis without actually consuming that much of fat. It's better just to be in real ketosis, consuming lots of fat.. Exogenous ketones can help some, but others it has no effect. Dr. D'Agostino did this experiment with rodents. They were eating carb diets, and a good amount did not lose weight even with exogenous ketones. Some were able to lose 15% body fat, but this was only in a few. They are looking into why that is the case. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now! We need people to buy and review for it to stay at the top of iTunes pages. Please also share it with family and friends!

BEST OF: Obesity in America with Dr. Eric Sodicoff - Episode 1717
: Episode 1717 - On this Saturday show, we are bringing back an episode from 2016. Dr. Eric Sodicoff joins Vinnie to talk obesity in America, gyms, diabetes, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/11/best-of-obesity-in-america-eric-sodicoff-episode-1717 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods DR. ERIC SODICOFF Dr. Sodicoff is a Certified Internal Medicine specialist. He is also an Obesity Specialist! GYMS & BRO SCIENCE Before big box gyms and bro science, people were thinner. Now, thin is not what it meant before. Fitness is considered the best way to lose weight -- that is BS. Eating badly = weight gain. Going to a big fancy gym is no better than getting on the ground and doing crunches for the weight-loss goal. Europe does not have the same problem as us, largely because bro science and exercise are BS here. It is ALL ABOUT FOOD in reality. OBESITY MEDICINE Low fat does not work! He had trouble answering the question at first about people's weights. He learned more about diets, and realized the SAD was so wrong. Grelin and leptin are the main factors of obesity, and controlled by what you eat. OBESITY IN AMERICA America is so fat compared to most countries. We are stuffing people with processed crap! The food pyramid and dietary guidelines make matters worse. Sugar and grain is subsidized by the government This is the problem with America! People with highest BMI are those who buy subsidized crap. We need to work to make real, healthy food less expneisve. Some are pleasantly surprised that they can keep their grocery budget down when they stop buying the snack foods, the sugary drinks and the other sweets. In European countries, they eat some carbs, but they eat REAL food and in smaller portions than Americans, too. We subsidize wheat, corn, and sugar because it makes America money. We need to put our national health first. Obesity kills people in the country, and it's got to stop. We will be crushed under the weight of our own weight, otherwise. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

COVID-19 Vaccines with Dr. Jeremy Levin - Episode 1716
: Episode 1716 - On this Friday show, Dr. Jeremy Levin joins Vinnie to talk COVID-19 vaccines, extensive trials, new therapeutics, effective masks, the autism myth, vaccine distribution and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/11/covid-19-vaccines-dr-jeremy-levin-episode-1716 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli Crowd Cow Belcampo DR. JEREMY LEVIN Dr. Levin is an incredibly accomplished doctor and scientist. He has won tons of awards for his good work. One of them is the Albert Einstein Award for Leadership in Life Science. However, Dr. Levin has never been involved in the development of a vaccine. That being said, he knows how this works. Dr. Levin is from South Africa. COVID-19 VACCINES The Pfizer vaccine is incredibly high quality. There is real science behind this vaccine. Now, they're really looking at side effects. Dr. Levin thinks from Moderna & Pfizer there will be huge potential for really getting this pandemic under control. There are over 150 approaches being pursued right now. The trials are very extensive. It was a double-blind trial. They're like super controlled epidemiological studies. We should feel really good about what these companies are doing. Dr. Levin also talks distribution of vaccines. The concern about autism comes from a discredited study out of the 1980s. The myth promulgated but is just a myth. The risks of complications from NOT getting vaccines, however, is very real. He believes the vaccine will be widely available next year. THERAPEUTICS Now, many of the people who are contracting COVID are young populations. The high risk populations are fortunately avoiding the disease better. Regeneron and Eli Lilly have come out with antibody cocktails. These drive the virus down and help people get over the hump. Unfortunately, at the moment, only VIPs are getting this treatment. We can expect better therapeutics like this coming out soon. Social distancing works -- look at tuberculosis! EFFECTIVE MASKS The best masks are those with deep filtration. Any kind with some filter is preferred. You can't leave in a bubble, but having the mask + air flow is good protection. Any facial covering is better than none. This is a silent killer -- think of it like the flu. If someone next to you had the flu, coughing and the like, you would want them to wear a mask. It's the same now--just because they aren't coughing and outwardly being sick, doesn't mean they aren't spreading it. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!
