JEFF GERBER From Littleton, Colorado Check out his website right here Family Medical Doctor Grabbed food with Vinnie, Serena, and Ivor Cummins Focuses on diet to cure a lot of metabolic and heart disease Low carb high fat, ketogenic, paleo diets & more CHRONIC METABOLIC DISEASE The biggest killer This is Dr. Jeff's focus People are just getting heavier and heavier People around Vinnie and Jeff's age have been fed the worst nutrition information over the years Due to the fact that the amount of time spent on nutrition in med school is minimal, and only preached reduced fat and reduced calories Chronic diseases have exploded recently People only given 'bandaids' Dietary approach is really the only way to make that chronic disease go away/be manageable It is a lifestyle change, just like NSNG is Difficult to convince people LCHF is the way to go when doctors prescribe heart healthy grains and calorie cuts The confusion between ketoacidosis (bad and not related to low carb diets) and dietary ketosis (good, what happens when you seriously limit carbs) does not help LCHF's case A lot of this misinformation comes down to money

About 15 minutes of exercise (body weight resistance) 2 days a week He has seen incredible results both in changing one's body and changing one's health with this diet LCHF can help diabetics, anemic people, etc. Eating this way burns fat instead of sugar Agrees that veganism is kind of like cannibilism -- you are eating stored body fat to make up for what you are not consuming Ends up being a high fat, high protein, highly carniverous diet This is why people lose so much weight

: Episode 675 - Andy Schreiber joins Vinnie Tortorich today to discuss testosterone replacement therapy and specifically, testosterone on this episode of podcast. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR Pure Vitamin Club TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY Andy used to apply a testosterone gel It was supposed to help his sluggishness It did give him a bit more energy for "Low T" (BS marketing) Doesn't use testosterone therapy anymore because it stopped working And, his insurance stopped paying for it No generic version at that time The alternative was injectable Then Andy started "shooting up" Did that for a couple years, and it did bring his levels way up Eventually stopped taking it ultimately he didn't have health insurance for a brief period Never went back on because he levels were high 200s and that is good enough Now, testosterone replacement therapy is marketed as being needed for so many men who do not need it

: Episode 674 - Vinnie & Anna argue about avoiding carbphobia and rant about AHA sugar recommendations, McDonalds Egg McMuffins and the recipes in a cancer cookbook. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR Pure Vitamin Club Villa Cappelli Squatty Potty BACK CURVES Three ways your back can curve Lordosis curving inward of the lower back Kyphosis the "hump" back Scoliosis sideways curvature of the spine AHA SUGAR RECOMMENDATIONS Says most kids are eating 3x more sugar than they should be No more than 6 teaspoons of added sugar (25g), kids under age 2 no sugar at all Finally, some sense!!! This is confusing, though, because they post lots of conflicting info While this is a start, Vinnie does not think this is enough Much sugar comes from cakes, cookies, sports drinks, sodas, etc. Just one can of coke goes over this! Vanilla yogurt hits 6 teaspoons July 2018, labels will be more accurate AVOIDING CARBPHOBIA You do not need to freak out about all foods with some amount of carbs For example, if you eat a tomato, you are fine! However, if you eat a ton of tomato sauce, it gets carbier Can be bad for people with A1C problems Type 2 diabetes and such You are concentrating the sugar when you turn it into a puree Still not nearly as bad as some other foods with added sugars Don't freak out about what you eat -- as long as it is NSNG, you're on the right path What Vinnie always says, "nobody ever got fat from just eating fruit" EAT YOUR BROCCOLI Can't take all food at face value For example, if you are eating corn on a cob it's certainly different from puree corn, popcorn, and corn chips It is ok to top your zucchini pasta with some tomato sauce! MCDONALD'S EGG MCMUFFIN In their new ad, in the middle they say they will be putting cage free eggs in their McMuffin's Small font says *by 2025
