Episode 2317 - BEST OF: Today we replay an episode from 2015 when Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Thomas Seyfried from Boston College and they discuss all about how sugar fuels cancer. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/04/best-of-sugar-fuels-cancer-with-dr-thomas-seyfreid-episode-2317/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Villa Cappelli Pure Vitamin Club SUGAR FUELS CANCER After leukemia (and during) people kept telling Vinnie he needed to do certain things. (3:00) Eat macro-diet and micro-diet, juice everything, have wheatgrass, etc. or he would die. He went to his hematologist and asked how much of it was the truth. His incredibly intelligent hematologist simply said, "Stay away from sugar!" Everything is pointing toward sugar as one of the things that cancer loves. Sugar does not cause cancer; cells that make tumors feed on sugar. (4:40) Sugar is a prime fuel, but not the only fuel. Our red blood cells are constantly making a little lactate. Tumor cells have defective mitochondria so they make lots of lactate. Dr. Seyfried explains the mechanisms behind the process and why it's so important to understand. WHAT CAUSES CANCER? Cancer can be caused by a variety of things. (8:20) Some examples are radiation exposure, chemicals in the environment, chronic inflammation, and age. Mutations in genomes that we inherit can be involved. (10:35) People can be predisposed to cancers. Genomes are your set of genes and differences and mutations in them. However, there is a misunderstanding about cancer; the industry has believed that cancer is genetic because tumors have mutations. (11:50) This has caused a lot of misdirection in research and treatment. Dr. Seyfried explains even more of the science of how cancer cells work; cancer is a metabolic disease. (23:30) They also discuss the benefits of ketones and the ketogenic diet. It is highly important to understand the difference between ketosis and ketoacidosis--they are very different things. They discuss therapeutic ketones and whether or not they can help certain brain processing issues like autism. (55:00) You can read more about Dr. Seyfried on Boston College's website. https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/mcas/departments/biology/people/faculty-directory/thomas-seyfried.html Dr. Seyfried recommends the book Tripping Over the Truth, by Travis Christofferson.

She's been inspired to try it from listening to people like Gary Brecka. Cold plunges done correctly have shown positive healing results for people with autoimmune conditions.

(41:00) They have a lot of fun with this discussion; however, there is serious talk about real ways to solve this health issue. The best way is to get your eating in proper order, with healthy foods and proper nutrients, and a healthy gut microbiome. And no, psyllium husks do not have the proper nutrients and are not necessary! They chat about how difficult it is to get people to think differently and be open to things like simply changing your eating. (47:00) People end up making themselves victims. People have also been led to believe that they should never question their doctors or the status quo. Vinnie and Anna share ways they have helped themselves by trying different, reasonable things.

Episode 2315 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich and return guest Professor Tim Noakes discuss sports science, dealing with carb intolerance, your brain and "the bonk", and much more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/04/dealing-carb-intolerance-tim-noakes-episode-2315 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN DEALING WITH CARB INTOLERANCE Vinnie and Prof. Tim Noakes begin with a discussion of Tim's professional background, especially in the early years of sports science. (2:00) He has been involved with sports science for decades. Sports science studies the whole human biological system, and its entire functioning. They discuss the early days of sports science used in the Olympics and other events like the Tour de France and what things were discovered. Tim has written several books such as Lore of Running (now in its 4th edition) and Real Food on Trial. (11:00) Tim constantly reviews new information and updates his work based on the findings; you have to move with the evidence. Vinnie asks Tim to share what the issue was with Tim's historical trial and the "tweet heard around the world". (17:30) The trial was about information and not being able to speak outside the narrative of certain organizations. He gives various details about the trial, too. They turn to the topic of Diabetes. (26:00) Tim shares his history dealing with T2D and what he's discovered about himself using a low-carb lifestyle. He emphasizes that diabetes is carb intolerance. Vinnie and Tim discuss dealing with carb intolerance and give examples of ideal levels. (33:00) Even 1 gram of higher insulin inhibits the burning of fat. Many people don't understand that if they have large amounts of visceral fat, they are insulin resistant and at the very least, pre-diabetic. Your liver can produce any glucose your brain needs, except possibly over 4-5 hours of constant exercise; Tim explains. (35:00) The purpose of "carb burning" is not because your body "needs" the carbs; it's because your body is trying to burn off (or get rid of) the glucose in the blood. (35:20) Keeping your glucose and insulin flat is what keeps you healthy. (37:00) THE "BONK" They also discuss going through a "bonk", and how the brain responds to carbs, even sweetness. (37:15) Tim discusses a study where they discovered surprising results about burning carbs vs. burning fat. The people in the study who were pre-diabetic benefitted the most from a high-fat diet. (50:30) This leads to a discussion about questioning long-held theories. (51:00) So they discuss the different Zones in exercise that can be done on a ketogenic diet--it's higher than previously thought! They chat a bit about the training and success of Kenyan and Ethiopian elite runners. (55:00) Vinnie gets Tim's take on the use of drugs like Ozempic. (58:00) Changing your behavior is the only real way to be successful with your health. You can donate to the Noakes Foundation or The Nutrition Network; Tim explains the important work that they do. You can find Prof. Noakes on Twitter at @ProfTimNoakes and @loreofrunning. [the_ad id="20253"] PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched on January 11! Order it TODAY!

Both Vinnie and Anna have insight about this, and some of it boils down to ignorance (about what works) vs. choice (ignoring what they know).

How much fiber is needed when someone has gut issues? (33:20) How much is too much cheese or dairy? (46:15) What are some good arm exercises?
