Workout Tips & Avoiding Pain - Episode 1594
: Episode 1594 - On this Monday show, Anna and Vinnie discuss country western music, Steven Tyler lookalikes, workout tips, avoiding pain, cycling on rollers, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/05/workout-tips-avoiding-pain-episode-1594 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club Evamor Water Villa Cappelli F Bomb Crowd Cow WORKOUT TIPS You may have shin pain from walking for awhile. Definitely be careful to avoid shin splints. If you change surfaces or your strike, this can cause shin splints. Try to make sure your butt is underneath you. If other parts of you hurt, think about whether it's because the parts that aren't hurting are simply stronger. When you start a new exercise, start slow and then slow down a bit. Don't roll out your muscles or bands for too long. This can actually be damaging. Vinnie recommends yoga balls to roll. Some soreness is okay–it means you're using those muscles, but you should never be in a lot of pain. Plus, if you're in a lot of pain you're less likely to keep exercising.

These include diabetes, hypertension, and other diseases that result from obesity. We need to fix this problem, and this pandemic has demonstrated it more than ever. Nobody wants to be fat and unhealthy. We have to get your good intentions back! As a result, it does seem people are more frequently having this conversation about health and what really prevents these sort of diseases. Doctors have recommended staying away from sugars and eating a more NSNG® diet, including doctors who have previously advocated for less healthy ways of eating. This is an unfortunate wake-up call for many. 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!

Fat-Adapted Running & Ultra Marathons with Mike McKnight - Episode 1591
: Episode 1591 - Mike McKnight, superstar ultra runner, joins Vinnie on this Friday show to discuss taking your body to the limit, getting back into sports after injury, fat-adapted running, and more! Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/05/fat-adapted-running-ultra-marathons-mike-mcknight-episode-1591 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club Evamor Water Villa Cappelli F Bomb Crowd Cow MIKE MCKNIGHT After high school, he was a bit heavy. He picked up running. Once he did a half marathon, he realized he was a pretty good runner. Mike suffered a broken back after a ski accident–following this, he really got into ultra running. 3 weeks into his broken back with a body brace on, he went out and ran half a mile. He felt bad, but it didn't hurt, so he started running every day. He recovered very quickly and began running 10+ miles every day. Trail running really appealed to him and he got hooked. He is also the winner of the Ultra Running Triple Crown: he had the fastest cumulative time over the Bigfoot 200, the Tahoe 200, and the Moab 240 in 2017. In 2018, he actually won each race individually as well. This was his breakout. He ran just under 7 days. FAT-ADAPTED RUNNING Mike recently ran 100 miles on zero calories. This is ultimate fat adaptation-you can still eat fatty foods to run while fat adapted. He originally started running fat-adapted because he had digestive issues while running doing anything else. Mike usually only allows himself to eat in a 6 hour window each day. The keto diet works very well for ultra athletes. He is "bonk-proof" and has a strong stomach. Mike eats a lot of meat and eggs, and before a race will also have an orange. He makes sure he's all stoked up on fat, and will have a TBS of coconut oil, too. He also finds day-to-day benefits like mental clarity and healthy weight maintenance. 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.

Vinnie's opinion is that this a just a political piece, and it just comes down to promoting your own political view. These pieces affect people because of the emotional aspect. As far as health is concerned, however, we need meat. Additionally, the environment is not an actual concern with meat.

You don't need an official race to get it done. Andy did it without carbing up, and this was his best time ever. He has seen his performance improve steadily as he becomes more fat adapted.

Check it out here: https://vinnietortorich.com/2018/08/crowd-cow-ethically-raised-meat-episode-1116/ Crowd Cow sells more than meat, they also sell chicken, pork and more. This company has done some wonderful things during this COVID-19 pandemic. There is definitely a shortage of meat, but Crowd Cow has lots of high quality, ethically raised meat for sale. This is a different supply chain. The shortage is in the industrially raised supply chain. You don't have to worry about us running out of meat. We buy from little farms and family owned small businesses. These are the best people to support because this will keep America running! They want to be able to sell you all of your meat for all occasions all from one place. Buy chicken for your kids' lunch and wagyu for your anniversary. Vinnie highly recommends the subscription. Anna & Vinnie both love this. The subscription is very changeable, and you can design it. They are also 100% certified carbon neutral! Joe has seen how his farmer's slaughter their cattle–it is a very peaceful, humane experience. Not all wild fish is not good. We have to be concerned with over-fishing.

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/05/best-of-ethically-raised-meat-episode-1585 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club Villa Cappelli Crowd Cow Evamor Water ETHICALLY RAISED MEAT Joe started a company called Crowd Cow. Here, you can buy meat from small vendors, you know who produces it and how it is produced. Animals that are treated well and killed humanely. You basically are sharing a cow with other people on the site. Not just cows, salmon, chickens, and many other meats. Serena has a hard time eating meat, but when she knows where it comes from and that it is raised well, it makes it easier. Check out Crowd Cow here! Buy your meat here! Higher quality, better raised. We all, at some level, want to know where our food comes from and when you buy in the grocery store, you really have no idea. There aren't many great natural sources of protein other than red meat. Red meat & eggs are the two true superfoods. Shawn Baker is an example of this. COW PARTS Cooking grass-fed beef is different -- Crowd Cow provides recipes for all different cuts, types, etc. They provide individual cuts, cut combos, and tons of different types of beef Some are tougher, some more fragrant Vinnie isn't a big cow organ guy, but some folks are and Crowd Cow sells organs too Be particularly careful with where organs come from Joe recommends browning and coating, throwing in carrots, mushrooms, etc to make it better Tongue is hard to find Grilled tongue is a top-level type of food Cooked for up to two days, thinly sliced, then marinated and grilled PROTECTING THE EARTH Many small farms which prevent over-development and pollution go out of business every year. If you support companies like Crowd Cow, you are saving these farms and helping the environment. Small farms also better in and of themselves in regards to pollution. Less mass production, less pollution. CRAFT BEEF Joe has a book on "craft beef". He learned not all grass-fed beef is created equal. Big producer TRUCK IN GRASS to feed cows and they get to count as "grass-fed". 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.
