Episode 2190 - BEST OF: On this Wednesday's show we're replaying episode 884, when Vinnie Tortorich speaks to listener Lisa Perez for the first time. As a result, they discuss Lisa's challenges growing up, how using her weight as an emotional shield is protection that kills, how NSNG® has helped her, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/09/protection-that-kills-episode-2190 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI LISA PEREZ Vinnie welcomes Lisa to the show and they start off talking for a bit about Lisa's background, and how they both share some Italian heritage. (2:22) Mostly Italian, but also an eighth Cuban, and she lives in NYC. People can still rag on Italians. Vinnie shares a little background from his side of the family that surprised him. Lisa found Vinnie through listening to Adam Carolla. (14:05) She relates to Adam a bit because they both had uninvolved parents; despite his rants, she feels he is compassionate because of his background. Both of her parents checked out when she was young. (18:00) Her dad left when she was very young and both parents were messed up and narcissistic. She always had to help her parents, not the other way around. Lisa learned from a young age how to be self-sufficient.

(19:00) She did a wide range of jobs, including as a clown, phone sex employee, and delivery driver, to name a few. She now is a professional writer.

(39:00) PROTECTION THAT KILLS Lisa is now NSNG®; she gives a little more story of how she found Vinnie. (48:48) She has learned how to no longer use food for emotional protection. She is comfortable with herself, weight is no longer her blanket. The NSNG® Facebook group has been a great additional support for her. Now, Lisa has lost a good amount of weight and is still progressing. (51:00) Vinnie makes the point that the additional weight is protection that kills. (52:00) A lot of people have sabotaged their good progress as a result of abuse. (53:53) Self-sabotaging is pretty common but once you overcome it will feel so much better! NSNG® has been part of a larger process of working on herself in various ways and she has come far! (57:10) Don't be afraid to make a change. Easier said than done, but do it one day at a time. On NSNG®, you can eat food, you just can't eat BAD foods! (59:30) [the_ad id="20253"] PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched on January 11! Order it TODAY!

Episode 2188 - On this Sunday's show, Vinnie Tortorich and co-host Gina Grad chat about some music and movies, some stats about fast food, bodybuilding, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/09/fast-food-bodybuilding-episode-2188 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI FAST FOOD & BODYBUILDING Vinnie and Gina start the show with a chat about a little music, movies, and a couple of celebrities that have aged beautifully.

Vinnie gives an example of why even things such as protein bars aren't great. (17:50) Everyone wants everything quick and easy and doesn't think about the trade-off. The discussion turns to bodybuilding as a kind of trade-off because steroids may get you a certain aesthetic result, but the real result is horrible health issues. (21:30) Famous actors and bodybuilders are now dealing with heart and other health issues due to heavy steroid use. People in their 20s and 30s are now dropping dead trying to compete with drugs that are even more dangerous today. Vinnie always admired fitness trainers like Vince Gironda, who never took steroids. Vinnie has never taken any steroids either. Gina describes it as the devil on your shoulder. Vinnie and Gina go back to the saying: there is no free lunch.

(8:25) Vinnie asks Steven about his health history--it was a mutation over time.
