NSNG® with Family - Episode 1572
: Episode 1572 - Listener Bob Zimmer joins Vinnie on this Saturday show, and the two talk his weight loss journey, NSNG® with family, the benefits of magnesium and B12, working out without soreness, running in Zone 2, smart life into living and more! Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/05/nsng-with-family-episode-1572 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club Evamor Water Villa Cappelli F Bomb Crowd Cow BOB'S STORY Bob has done a consult with Vinnie. He was about 206 lbs, had acid reflux and trouble sleeping, as well as bad allergies. He does a lot of international travel, and listened to Adam Carolla & this podcast on planes and the like. At first, Bob dropped about 20 lbs without trying too terribly hard to be perfect. In March 2018, he hit a plateau. This was when he did a consult. Bob will post many of his NSNG® recipes on Facebook. He finds the Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/434957346580399/) quite helpful. He's into Zone 2 running. When he didn't stay in Zone 2, it was too difficult on him and his joints. Now, he can run more and regularly. When he went to Italy, he indulged and stayed in dietary ketosis. He ordered meatballs for dessert, for example. He had wine, but didn't go crazy! He also feels that working with your hands is important. Bob's a big car guy –– if you can't fix it, you shouldn't drive it. He taught his son all of these things. NSNG® WITH FAMILY For Bob, he feels he found so much success because his family was on board. He and his wife were raised in Chicago, so they love food. It was an adjustment, but doing it together was easier. Additionally, as Italians, they had to change the way they prepared food. They also cut the wine and dropped a lot of food fast. Unfortunately, there's a lot of sugar in iwne. Quickly, Bob was down to around 179 lbs! They all find it easier this way. The cooking is also much easier when everyone is all for eating the same thing. 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.

Low-Carb Athletics with Dr. Austin Jeans - Episode 1571
: Episode 1571 - This Friday show, Dr. Austin Jeans joins Vinnie Tortorich and the two talk about Coronavirus lockdowns, low-carb athletics, Olympic athletes and fat adaptation, ergogenic distractive science, and more! Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/05/low-carb-athletics-dr-austin-jeans-episode-1571 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club Evamor Water Villa Cappelli F Bomb Crowd Cow DR. AUSTIN JEANS Dr. Jeans is located in Zimbabwe. They are also shut down due to Covid-19. He specializes in Sports Medicine and works with many athletes. He & Tim Noakes wrote this fantastic book, The Low-Carb Companion. Dr. Jeans came up under the tutelage of Tim Noakes. https://www.amazon.com/Low-Carb-Companion-Dr-Austin-Jeans/dp/1533324794 LOW-CARB ATHLETICS Triathlon came to his part of the word in the 1980s. He has been a big triathlon competitor since that time. Dr. Jeans' wife was an Olympian! He has been involved in the Olympic world in sports medicine for many years. As an athlete, fat is the preferred fuel. It burns steadily like a log as opposed to sugar which burns out fast. So much of Vinnie's pain post- and during-workouts went away when he went low-carb. It can take four weeks to four months to get really trained up low-carb. It's important to take your time to make this switch before you're competing. For Olympic and other professional athletes, Dr. Jeans will find some down time for them to switch them over. He has seen optimal performance for many of these athletes. Dr. Jeans doesn't recommend ergogenic substances. They're unnecessary. All you really need is good nutrition, good sleep and good training. He's also not a big fan of supplements as a general rule. He does see benefits of vitamins like magnesium. 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 never had the best balance––this is because he is so dang tall! Not everyone can use rollers. Vinnie liked using rollers, but gave them away a long time ago. Track stands can also be good, but after some time they sound like a chainsaw. Same with the fluid ones. Rollers, you can stay on forever and they don't get hot. He does miss cycling.

Super easy recipe. Get a bunch of other stuff, too, while you're there. Anna & Vinnie both subscribe. HEALTH IN THE TIME OF CORONAVIRUS If you have your health right now, that is most important. Your priorities may change during this time, and that is okay. Be willing to shift with respect to your work. If you're cranky, ornery, fearful, etc., it will be hard for you to be creative. We are going to transition into a new normal. If things take a little longer but it's in order to keep your health, try to go with it! Consider others' healths with the things you do, too. Take this time to learn something new--but don't rush yourself. Vinnie's dad is learning to do more housework! It's ok, though, to also take this time to rest. Get serious about your health during this time. Do more than "giving it a shot." JON'S JOURNEY Jon Dunn has been eating NSNG® for awhile now. He looks like a totally different person! Originally he was an attorney, now he's a comic! Vinnie met him through Anna. https://jondunncomedy.com/ At first, it was difficult for him to balance all of his writing & performing with his eating and workout schedule. Eating a big meal before a show is the way to go for him. He does feel that the world may interact with him differently now that he's lost some weight. He's recently been put on CPAP. Sleep apnea may be helped through this way of eating. It could take some time, though. Go to Robert Rosenberg for issues like this! Cutting out processed foods really helped his hunger pangs.

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/04/treating-coronavirus-more-episdode-1568 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club TREATING CORONAVIRUS One day, we may need herd immunity to beat this. Herd immunity generally means 70%+ of the population has had the virus such that it doesn't spread so much. The issue is, experts are not sure if contracting the disease actually gives you immunity–so far there is no proof that that is the case. There are many treatments being tested. The FDA and others have found pros and cons to many. Vinnie talks the benefits of hydroxychloroquine – here is another relevant article documenting potential negatives: https://apnews.com/a5077c7227b8eb8b0dc23423c0bbe2b2 Eventually, as well, we will have a vaccine.

BEST OF: The Cholesterol Conundrum with Ivor Cummins - Episode 1567
: Episode 1567 - BEST OF: Nearly one thousand episodes ago, Ivor Cummins, a biochemical engineer, went into detail about the Cholesterol Conundrum. Modern research has clearly proven that the root cause of arterial plaque is insulin resistance, most likely caused by high amounts of carbohydrates, not high cholesterol or high fat. Listen here, on this Best Of podcast! Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2020/04/best-of-cholesterol-conundrum-ivor-cummins-episode-1567 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Coffee Club Pure Vitamin Club IVOR CUMMINS The Cholesterol Conundrum video can be found here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuj6nxCDBZ0 He is a chemical engineer. Originally, he was told he had to cut down his cholesterol. He didn't just listen to the doctor. He dug down the rabbit hole and DID NOT lower cholesterol. Ivor ails from Dublin, Ireland. CHOLESTEROL CONUNDRUM His cholesterol was a bit high. Liver enzymes (GGT and serum ferritin) were INCREDIBLY high . He asked the doctors what this meant & asked them what to do. They came back with very weak and unsure answers. Because of his science background & his family, he did not accept this answer. He values his health and this was not enough. He started researching after visiting 3 unsure doctors. Once he started researching, he found that very high GGT meant a reduced lifespan. GGT = Gamma glutamyl transferase. High levels = high inflammation in the liver. The liver has SO many functions, including making cholesterol. Excessive alcohol raises this, but he does not drink a lot. He found that high levels are associated with Fatty-liver disease which comes from eating too many carbs. Around 30% of adults have fatty liver disease. Carbs, sugar, and insulin resistance are the problem . Serum ferritin is a marker for metabolic syndrome. His was so high because he had been eating carbs and sugar & had this disease. Ivor's diet at the time: Quite a bit of pasta, bread, rice; Tried to not eat fat; He basically ate what the governments (incorrectly) press one to eat; Although for the most part he followed the "food pyramid" he always ate butter instead of margarine. More and more research showing that those who have high cholesterol are super sensitive to carbs. Vitamins are important to regulate all these as wells. IMPORTANT VITAMINS 70-80% of people are deficient in magnesium. Check out PVC broad spectrum magnesium! People are deficient in K2 (those who eat low fat especially). Vitamin D and sun exposure are very important as well. It's important for fitness and cardiovascular health. Disease conditions can drive Vitamin D even lower. Blood pressure drops with good Vitamin D/sun exposure. Arteries relax. Sun Exposure increases vasodilation. Normal sun is more important than Vitamin D pills, but if you can't get out in the sun, do take a Vitamin D supplement. Sun-related dangers are so so insignificant compared to the danger of cars etc. Also most sun-damage is fixable (melanoma is the bad one, though). You are LESS likely to have melanoma with MORE general sun exposure. Ex: outdoor workers have not increased melanoma like indoor workers in the last 40 years. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now!
