The Dangers of Inflammation on the Body with Dr. Shemek - Episode 1631
: Episode 1631 - On this Friday show, Dr. Lori Shemek joins Vinnie and the two talk what drove her into her field, the dangers of inflammation on the body, changing obesity standards, and more. Also, make sure to check out the NSNG® Summit, featuring many top luminaries, free & online to all this weekend, July 25 & 26. https://vinnietortorich.com/2020/07/dangers-of-inflammation-on-body-shemek-episode-1631 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS NSNG® Foods Pure Coffee Club Pure Vitamin Club Villa Cappelli Crowd Cow NSNG® SUMMIT This weekend, July 25 and 26, is the free & online NSNG® Summit. Tons of luminaries, as well as Anna, Vinnie and Andy will all appear this weekend. You can register in seconds at http://nsngsummit.com, and attend as many or as few sessions as you'd like. We will also be launching our NSNG® Foods Nut Butters this weekend. DR. LORI SHEMEK Lori is a top diet and nutrition expert. She's an author, a radio host, and a weight loss expert. Her great book, Fire-Up Your Fat Burn, can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Fire-Up-Your-Fat-Burn-Super-Easy/dp/1479170283 The book discusses best methods to lose fat. She is big on intermittent fasting and reducing inflammation. Dr. Shemek has her PhD. Her mother's constant ailments, as a result of horrible diet and chronic stress, drove her down this path. She combined her study of nutrition with psychology. DANGERS OF INFLAMMATION Inflammation is incredibly difficult on the body. When you're obese, your body is often terribly inflamed. She had to take care of her younger siblings as a teen while her mother suffered from sicknesses as a result of fat & inflammation. There are different levels of inflammation. Some inflammation is important - like when your finger is a bit swollen and painful when you have a cut in order to heal. Chronic inflammation is the core underlying cause of chronic illness, disease, weight gain. Look at cancer, obesity, and more. 75% of our population has this sort of inflammation. This only emits a trickle of a response. This means it doesn't go away. You need to intervene yourself. If you let cellular inflammation go on, the cells create an imbalance and this causes even more distress. You can't heal until that signal is cut off. Inflammation is necessary for people to look at when they're trying to optimize both brain and body health. The best way to ensure we can keep this inflammation at bay is by eating healthy oils, a nutrient rich diet, and more. A low carb high fat diet does this. Sugar harms what keeps inflammation away.

NSNG® Foods Nut Butters & Zone 2 Benefits - Episode 1629
: Episode 1629 - On this Monday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk stealing, muling drugs, Zone 2 benefits, the upcoming NSNG® Foods nut butters, Anna's marinara, and answer some listener questions, and more! Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/07/nsng-foods-nut-butters-marinara-episode-1629 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club Evamor Water Villa Cappelli F Bomb Crowd Cow ZONE 2 BENEFITS Many people ask why Zone 2 is better than Zone 3. When you start hitting Zone 3 or 4, you're not really burning fat, just sugar. So, the issue with burning sugar is that your body *does* need a certain amount of sugar at a time. You can get this with a lot of protein or some veggies, but why do this if it isn't necessary? The more exercise you do, the easier it'll be for you to stay in Zone 2. NSNG® FOODS NUT BUTTERS We are going to have energizing butters, all NSNG®. We use almond butter, coconut oil, and electrolytes from Pure Vitamin Club. There are two flavors –– The second has some Pure Coffee Club Honey Process coffee. These butters have THE BEST ingredients around. You're getting everything you need as an athlete in this one product. We are launching this with our NSNG® Summit. Sign up for this FREE, LIVE Summit featuring tons of experts. https://www.nsngsummit.com/ ANNA'S MARINARA Anna is also coming out with a jarred marinara that is NSNG®! This is one of the only ones that doesn't have added sugar. It has Villa Cappelli in it and is dairy free.

Controlling Epilepsy with Diet - Episode 1627
: Episode 1627 - On this Saturday show, Andy Reynolds and his family join Vinnie and they all talk working as a nurse, their son and controlling epilepsy with diet, other health benefits from low carb high fat eating, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/07/controlling-epilepsy-diet-episode-1627 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club ANDY'S LIFE Andy is English. He's from just outside of Manchester. He's a nurse. It's been quite different during COVID-19. Kids have largely seemed okay overall, but adults is a different story. They wear PPE––masks, gowns, and full on kits for those who need respiratory help. CONTROLLING EPILEPSY Their son was diagnosed with epilepsy. It got worse over the years. They realized diet could make a difference. Within a couple of weeks, they decreased from 150 a day to 40; after two months they were down to around 10 a day. The entire family realized it would be better if they all made this dietary change together. Eating high fat foods is certainly quite a better solution that cutting out part of a child's brain. The doctor mentioned to Andy's family the diet change and brain surgery at the same time. Diet should be the place doctors start, and right away. When they changed their diet, they felt that they all came out of a haze. His wife's headaches stopped, too. Andy went from about 94 kilos to 80 kilos now. (200 lbs to 176 lbs) His arthritis has improved incredibly. Andy's wife has lost around 40 lbs without exercising. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!

The BS Behind Game Changers – Episode 1466 https://vinnietortorich.com/2019/12/bs-behind-game-changers-episode-1466/ He previously joined Vinnie to talk about the lies laid out in Game Changers. Tim is all about trying to stop ideology from creeping into health and fitness. This is what leads to horrible health issues like we're facing with prevalent morbid obesity and more. Here are some of his writings: https://tim-rees.com/blog/ Tim's an English athlete himself. He recognizes the importance of meat. However, he also believes in regenerative farming. CUTTING THROUGH HEALTH BS Tim cuts through the BS. Don't give in to industries or organizations just because they're an "authority." Health is corrupted, largely. It's all the same voices putting out the harmful information. They seem like experts, but they're yelling "fire" in a movie theater. Tim thinks vegan/vegetarian doctors, trainers, and nutritionists should have to disclose their conflict of interest. Just because they do it doesn't mean it's good to push others into it.

Took him seeing low carb benefit his own patients that really led him in this way despite his classes teaching him CICO and SAD. Would visit Dr. Atkins, learned a lot from him. Now, Dr. Westman pays this forward and invites other doctors/scientists to come learn from him. Notes there's a lot of pushback that is unwarranted. Bad science promoted by things like religion.

He'd be able to do so fat adapted. Bring protein and some olive oil out. SMOOTHIES Smoothies just are not great for you. People like smoothies on diets. Don't try to game the system with smoothies. If you have a smoothie, okay, make sure you're putting the right things in it. However, try to avoid smoothies if possible. Really, they're all sugar. MILK Cutting out milk really isn't the end of the world. Many people find that they don't work well with dairy. Even if you're still on dairy, try to avoid milk. It's very sugary. Most milk substitutes also have sugar in them. If you want a milk substitute, you can make almond or cashew milk at home. Do what you can to get away with it. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!
