Episode 2221 - On this Friday's show, Vinnie Tortorich speaks to Dr. Lisa Strohman about how some technology and social media have led to kids being "half-baked", how much of it creates disconnection not connection, the ill effects of certain social media, and more. http://vinnietortorich.com/half-baked-disconnected-dr-lisa-strohman-episode-2221 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN HALF-BAKED Vinnie welcomes Dr. Lisa to the show, who is the author of two books, Unplug and Digital Distress. Vinnie starts by telling Dr. Lisa about what he observed at the gym recently when a young man literally couldn't put his phone down. (2:30) So many people are dependent on their phones, but he doesn't want his life ruled by a 2" x 4" piece of glass! (7:00) Vinnie says kids are "half-baked" and what he means by that. Dr. Lisa agrees; kids do not have a real sense of self without having external affirmation; as a result, everything is distorted. (8:00) Kids don't understand tech as a mere tool. She has witnessed the psychology behind the use of certain technology. Dr. Lisa talks about the psychological profiling of the two teens behind the Columbine shooting in 1999. (11:40) This is a mental health problem--the disconnect is very real; many kids don't even know how to make eye contact. (17:20) She reviews some of the issues that impact kids at younger and younger ages. The addiction-reward neural pathway is getting activated early on. Vinnie shares an uncomfortable story about a teen he used to know years ago. (19:40) Dr. Lisa shares what she knows about how insidious "ad bundles" lure kids in. (23:20) DISCONNECTED They also chat about what they observe at places like restaurants, as well as how body image and filters are distorting reality and expectations. (30:00) The conversation turns to social media and the messages people see and respond to. (53:30) Vinnie gives the example of treatment between Lizzo vs. Adele. They chat about trending and how being negative gets you seen more; there is desperation to be relevant. The art of conversation, connection, and communication are getting lost. Vinnie asks Dr. Lisa what we can do. (47:30) Dr. Lisa gives several examples, including what she has done with her children. Many parents have given up because it's easier to hand over the device than to step up. She explains how devices are stealing children away from their parents. They also discuss the hyper-sexualization of girls and boys at younger ages and how they become brazen in their behavior. (52:45) Dr. Lisa and Vinnie talk about some of the trends, and how they affect standards of behavior towards one another, especially sexual behavior. They transition to the early days of online dating and today's online culture of dating apps and what it means to "swipe." (1:05:00) She talks about how some of her clients she see often deal with emotional issues from rejection. Ghosting is rude. Vinnie invites Dr. Lisa back as this is her specialty--dealing with the psychological challenges of tech and life online.

Episode 2220 - On this Wednesday's show, Vinnie Tortorich and return guest Lacey (Lucy X) chat about an update and a challenge: Lacy's workplace happenings, weight loss medications, a challenge from Adam Carolla, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/10/update-challenge-episode-2220 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN AN UPDATE & A CHALLENGE Vinnie welcomes back Lacey (not her real name, just like her other non-real names, Lucy X and Ms. Sierra). Vinnie asks her to recap her own personal success story and how it made her question her job at Noom. (1:30) They chat about some of the discrepancies, monthly costs, and how the company is pivoting in its methods. They also chat about the small cost of Vinnie's Intro to NSNG® e-book, and how it compares to programs like Weight Watchers and others. Ten dollars for Vinnie's e-book is not "nickel and dimeing"! Noom is now trying to incorporate medicines (GLP-1) into its program! (13:50) Noom is even contradicting itself in what it says works. So many of these drugs are simply dangerous and don't live up to the hype. Vinnie lets out an audible sigh. He has had enough. Vinnie switches up the conversation to chat about a challenge Adam Carolla proposed. (26:20) Vinnie has already stepped up! He encourages others to do similar and smacks down all of Lacey's excuses about doing that kind of challenge, too. It's a great habit to unplug and get out in nature without any kind of electronics.

It's still way cheaper than any other low-carb expert charges, and it can change your life. It's about the same cost as a couple of coffees. They share many more thoughts about the topic, including how they both provide a vast amount of accessible information for FREE Vinnie wants people to be able to afford it, but still get the help they need.

Vinnie and Gina discuss regional weather and how it affects activity. (3:00) Gina notes that she is a person who is less hungry with more activity. They chat a bit about the bad idea of rewarding yourself with bad food after exercise. This leads to the discussion about running shoes, running, and how shoes affect your stride and stride length.

(1:30) Daniel discovered Vinnie through the Mike Rowe podcast. (7:00) He considered it a kind of "divine timing" because he knew he needed to make a change, but he wasn't sure how to start. NSNG® almost sounded "too easy"--but it works! They also discuss Vinnie being "shadow-banned" on various social media and on Wikipedia. (10:50) This made Daniel want to learn even more about Vinnie. Vinnie gives the backstory about his Wikipedia entry being removed. Daniel gives an interesting story of how he found out he had fatty liver; he also gives more reasons he was concerned for his health. (18:45) As a firefighter, he got a pretty big wake-up call.

Episode 2216 - On this Friday's show, Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dr. Stephen Cunnane and they discuss brain development and fats, taking care of your brain, supplements, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/taking-care-your-brain-dr-stephen-cunnane-episode-2216 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN TAKING CARE OF YOUR BRAIN Vinnie starts the show by sharing how he heard about Dr. Stephen Cunnane through Dr. Mary Newport, who has been on the show recently. (1:45) Dr. Steven Cunnane talks a bit about his book, Survival of the Fattest: The Key to Human Brain Evolution The book discusses brain development in babies and the need for healthy fats. (6:00) It also discusses how various nutrients play the part in various ways in human evolution. The big question Vinnie and Stephen discuss is: are you taking care of your brain? (15:00) Or are you letting it rot with what you are eating? Vinnie's interest in the brain comes from taking years of beatings playing football; as a result, he's curious about CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy). (16:00) Stephen says it's never too late to be able to make improvements; the question becomes "what can you do"? (21:25) Part of the challenge is the parameters given to doctors that make them hesitant to suggest low-carb. Mark Cucazzella is brought up as an example. The two discuss the movie "First Do No Harm", by Jim Abrams of the Charlie Foundation. (25:05) Charlie's doctors wanted to give him a lobotomy for his seizures; instead, they controlled his epilepsy with the ketogenic diet. They also discuss Eric Westman, Jeff Volek, Steve Phinney, Tim Noakes, and others and what an important part they play in low-carb science. They switch to discuss certain limitations of the current healthcare systems. (29:50) Certain low-carb doctors are walking away from standard practice so they can actually practice health care and not sick care. ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS Vinnie and Stephen also discuss what zinc and other minerals are optimal for the brain and how they help. (34:10) They discuss iodine, zinc, selenium, and certain deficiencies. They chat about the best sources of various nutrients. More is not always better, and Dr. Cunnane explains why. Don't over-intellectualize it: just eat sensibly. The conversation leads to a discussion about omega fatty acids, cholesterol, and ketones, and how the brain needs them. (46:30) There is still plenty to learn about cognitive decline and Alzheimer's; a lot of questions remain! (51:00) But there is more to it than diet and diabetes; social interaction, looking forward to things, and exercise seem to play a part as well in keeping a healthy brain. Conflicts of interest in science and medicine muddy up the waters of good information. (55:00) Dr. Cunnane has been awarded a research chair position at his university; as a result, the research will focus on ketotherapeutics. (1:01:30) They'll be studying ketogenic interventions of all sorts for mental illness, neurodegenerative disorders, and more.

(26:20) They also chat about what changed in the 1950s, Ancel Keys' studies, and dietary guidelines. Tim mentions the little-known fact about Ancel Keys near the end of his life.

(32:15) This leads to talking about cholesterol and saturated fats and why Total LDL is not a real indicator of heart attack risk. (34:00) They chat about the importance of getting a calcium score.
