He started with one month in 2018, and it went from there. He found that cross fit gyms were prevalent enough he could always find a rower. Eventually, he started driving with it. He's averaging around 8500 meters across 1000 days. CLEAN LIFESTYLE Dan tries to live a really clean, helathy life. He generally avoids alcohol and avoids caffeine. This being said, he does think he's a sugar addict. He does think he's gained a bit of weight as a result. FIGHTING LYMPHOMA A couple of years ago, he had a surprise health diagnosis––lymphoma. It's a rare, aggressive type of non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. He felt he had to advocate for himself while he dealt with this. His rowing machine was IN the hospital with him! He wheeled it in. 3 or 4 times since Dan's been admitted, he's brought it with him. In a few weeks, he'll be going into the hospital for about a month. He will keep rowing as long as he can, but if it becomes dangerous, he will stop. 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.

He's been on the show before. Find him here: Dr Tim Noakes: Nutrition on Trial – Episode 888 https://vinnietortorich.com/2017/09/dr-tim-noakes-nutrition-on-trial-episode-888 TRIAL AGAINST GOOD HEALTH Years ago, he received a tweet from a mother asking if her eating cauliflower could give her child who she was breastfeeding gas. Dr. Noakes basically said no because the baby is getting real food. He recommended she wean the child onto LCHF diet. He meant, meat fish and dairy. This was simply TRUE. He didn't want the child to eat cereal. Health organizations brought him to trial. They said he was unconventional and misleading...even though really he was encouraging good health. Many other experts testified at his trial. Nina Teicholz, for example, knocked it out of the park by telling the truth. RUNNING ON SUGAR VS. FAT Lots of ultra athletes try to rely on carbs. It tends not to work for these longer events. Many ultra athletes who use carbs bonk or feel horrible at some point. Vinnie has found when his energy came from fat, he performed better. This is why he's made products like Ultra Fat. Tim Noakes replicated this sort of thing in the lab. THE NOAKES FOUNDATION Check it out here: https://thenoakesfoundation.org/ Donate and fund important research. Tim Noakes is also trying to make low carb affordable. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/09/getting-back-into-exercise-fitness-middle-class-episode-1670 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods FITNESS MIDDLE CLASS This has nothing to do with finance. It has to do with the many people out there who are not super fit or super fat, but need to lose some weight and get metabolically healthier. Vinnie just wants to help. He will keep working at this goal. This is why Vinnie's always onto the next thing. He'll keep launching products to help, or documentaries to educate. GETTING BACK INTO EXERCISE When Serena moved to VA, she stopped running for a bit. She found that her aerobic and anaerobic fitness went away. Her general strength suffered when she stopped. Balance was worse, general muscle strength was worse. It's a use it or lose it proposition. There's not a ton of residual value. Get back into it slowly! This is how you get back to where you were, or go even farther. Protein only helps if we work our muscles hard, too. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

She broke several bones, including a shoulder and a knee. He's helping her recover with physical therapy and what not. But don't worry, she's doing great! ULTRA EVENTS Chris Kostman has been on the show. He organizes these amazing ultra events. Vinnie did a double century in one of his races. The BADWATER races are his. https://www.badwater.com/about-us/about-chris-kostman/ WORKOUT BIKES When Peloton came out, they couldn't sell any bikes. Then, they doubled the price and they took off. They're good bikes to motivate people through competition and whatnot, but with subscriptions and all the extras it gets expensive. You don't need a peloton to do a bike workout. Many spinners are great. Check out Schwinn. You can find one for several hundred dollars on Amazon and pull up a guided ride on YouTube. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/09/getting-into-podcasting-healthy-lifestyles-episode-1667 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods GETTING INTO PODCASTING Steve went to LA and has started a podcast. He's had some pretty amazing guests. In the first 12 episodes, he had Vinnie, Clint and Ron Howard, Scott Kelly (astronaut) and others. He's been on this show before. Check out his podcast, Fascination Street, here: https://fascinationstreetpod.com/ He's a family man who lives in Texas. It's a straight shot to LA when he records. He made some good relationships, started DMing people on social media, and more. Through this networking process, he's made some awesome friends. HEALTHY LIFESTYLE Steve is a great Carolla fan, and that's how he found Vinnie. He heard Vinnie so often on the show and Vinnie never strayed from his answers. Vinnie stuck to his guns, and that made Steve believe what he had to say. At first, Steve thought what Vinnie was saying was blasphemous. But then, he started listening and learning and realizing a lot of the stuff in the mainstream about health is wrong. When Steve started, he was 230 lbs and 5'10". He got a respiratory infection four times a year and had asthma which made it hard to exercise. Once he started eating healthier, and lost some weight, he grew healthier. He's lost 50 lbs!

The Importance of Meat & Belcampo with Anya Fernald - Episode 1666
: Episode 1666 - Anya Fernald, Co-founder and CEO of Belcampo, joins Vinnie on this Friday show and the two talk sustainable agriculture, the importance of meat, vegan lies, small farming and soil, the facts behind organic meat, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/09/the-importance-of-meat-belcampo-anya-fernald-episode-1666 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Evamor Water Villa Cappelli Crowd Cow ANYA FERNALD Anya is located in Northern California. She is the co-founder and CEO of Belcampo Restaurant and Butcher Shop. She worked in animal agriculture. Anya loves animals and wants to improve livestock outcomes. She started her own company because she believes in better treatment of livestock. This is not only better for the animals but it's also better for the environment and the people. Small, smart farming is good for the soil. Factory farmed meat is the problem, not family farm meat. You can shop her store online! She was vegan for some time and vegetarian for 10 years. But she began to play offense on defense. Anya drinks a quart of bone broth a day. She's a huge believer in it. She thinks getting vitamins and nutrients from the source is the best thing. Absorption is better. Anya has been on lots of cooking TV shows, too! THE IMPORTANCE OF MEAT With respect to fertility, those who eat meat as children seem to fare better later on. The mother's access to high quality animal protein was most related to offspring health. She also feels that her kids are healthier and better off because they are big carnivores. Back in 2006, she felt healthier when she began to eat more, higher quality meat. Her company's product focuses on animal wellness. The company kills all of the animals and stores them itself. Organic is not always better. Organic can mean that the animals don't get antibiotics when they might need it for comfort. Anya will sometimes sacrifice organic status to make sure her animals are better cared for. 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.
