Episode 2071 - It is with heavy hearts we share that Dr. Hallberg recently passed away after a valiant battle with cancer. On this Best Of, we celebrate the life of Dr. Sarah Hallberg and play her appearance on the podcast in 2018. On this show, she and Vinnie discuss the Aspen Institute, LCHF health, reversing type 2 diabetes, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/04/remembering-dr-sarah-hallberg-episode-2071 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club Villa Cappelli REMEMBERING DR. SARAH HALLBERG Sarah was a wonderful doctor. She was a medical director at Virta Health. Also director and founder of program at IU: "Arnett Health Medical Weight Loss Program." Check out Sarah's awesome Ted Talk here: Reversing Type 2 Diabetes Starts with Ignoring the Guidelines Sarah was been chosen to be a Aspen Institute Health Innovator Fellow Leaders worldwide, in all different fields. She remains among some amazing company. 19 of the most innovative and fantastic people in health care. She is the only in low-carb. Specialized in Type 2 Diabetes. She and Nina also worked together. Sarah also published amazing research papers. She studied of hundreds of patients. LCHF HEALTH LCHF = Low Carb High Fat. More and more studies show that fat and heart disease are not directly correlated. Sarah's own research (and her study of others' research) has shown that people on LCHF diets have better cardiac and metabolic health. LCHF can also save folks money by getting them off various medications. Sarah and her family were also LCHF. There is so much misrepresentation out there about how we should eat. LCHF is a growing community. In Sarah's study, they looked at people on insulin. 94% of her patients who went LCHF had decreases in insulin they took. Each person in the study got their own health coach. Can make the difference to have that support and encouragement. Sarah could make safe medication adjustments this way as well. New paper shows results after a year of strict LCHF for type 2 diabetes patients. The results have been absolutely amazing.

Episode 2070 - On this Wednesday show, Andy Schreiber and Vinnie Tortorich talk Taylor Hawkins, the Oscars incident, decorum, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/03/the-oscars-incident-decorum-episode-2070 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods THE OSCARS INCIDENT Vinnie's favorite movie of the year was "King Richard." He doesn't watch the Oscars, but he's seen clips and memes of the incident between Will Smith and Chris Rock. It is in part so crazy because Will Smith is such a prolific actor. This violent response makes you wonder -- what is going on with him, and what happened to decorum? There's also concern about precedent -- comedians often cross lines and we can't try to censor them. There were infinitely better ways Will Smith could have handled this. His acceptance speech also seemed pretty crazy. "Love makes you do crazy things" is no excuse for violence. Ever. And while his apologies were a step in the right direction, he did not apologize to Chris Rock. That said, this was a bad joke. But these people are role models, and Will Smith must do better.

MISINFORMED DIETITIANS Anna found an article written by a registered dietitian discussing 'good carbs for cholesterol.' Yet, at the same time the article seems to acknowledge sugar and grains are not good for us. But it totally ignores the importance of cholesterol for our brain and body health as well as the importance of knowing the breakdown of your cholesterol number. If you need to eat healthy carbs, that should be veggies. Not junk. Many dietitians don't seem to know a thing about nutrition.

Episode 2068 - On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad and Vinnie Tortorich talk fasting while traveling, fueling up with fat, combating obesity and diabetes, fully committing to NSNG®, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/03/fueling-up-with-fat-episode-2068 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods FUELING UP Recently, Vinnie had a crazy travel day. Much of the time he was too busy to eat, and on the plane there wasn't really anything he could eat. The last meal he had before this accidental fast began was meat. He wanted to stock up on fat so he'd be good to not eat for such a long time. While he was at the hotel, he tried to do the best he could. Lots of eggs, for example! GOING ALL IN When people come to Vinnie and are metabolically broken, he suggests you go all in without putting life into living for several months. Give your body the chance to heal and don't confuse it along the way. This is the way to succeed! It will get easier with time until you do not miss the junk food.

Episode 2066 - On this Friday show, Dr. Angela Stanton joins Vinnie Tortorich to discuss her work in neuroeconomics, learning about finance, treating and preventing migraines, sodium levels, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/03/treating-preventing-migraines-dr-angela-stanton-episode-2066 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli NEUROECONOMICS Dr. Angela has a PhD in economics. But her dissertation was on pure neuroscience. She is a neuroeconomist. This means she runs neuroscience experiments and actual clinical trials. When she looks at the outcome, she looks through financial models. FINANCIAL SUCCESS Don't focus too much on the books. The market is what you make it. It isn't what people you it is. Dr. Stanton focused on the market for a long time and did well doing so. She says -- who cares what other people buy? She's an investor who buys from companies she would use the products of and companies she trusts. Tesla was one of these. PREVENTING MIGRAINES Much of Dr. Stanton's work focuses on migraines. A migrainer has more neurons associated with sensory neurons. This explains sensitivity to light, for example. Reducing sodium is a problem -- having a satisfactory sodium level is important for brain health, especially for those with migraines. Additionally, when you eat glucose, the glucose removes sodium from your cells. Eating a high glucose diet creates a friction that contributes to migraines. If you take carbs out of your diet, you can see the effects if you suffer from migraines -- assuming you get enough sodium. Many feel that when they eat carbs, they feel 'dried out.' Eating salt and taking electrolytes is very important, too.

Anna and Vinnie also talk battling pre-diabetes, keeping cancer away, learning to cook and eat healthily, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2022/03/battling-pre-diabetes-more-episode-2064 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods BATTLING PRE-DIABETES Anna's dad recently was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. He's 81 and doesn't eat very well. The doctor suggested he cut out sweets and carbs. So, he's cut down -- but not cut out. For example, he's sharing his fries instead of having his own. This is a good place to start. Anna told him to get his A1C tested again in 6 months and he agreed. If it's still a problem, she'll try to suggest he cut out these things completely! KEEPING CANCER AWAY A person Anna and Vinnie know battled cancer. Now, he's keeping it away with a low carb diet. He was a guy who could eat anything without gaining weight -- but he really wants to make sure he doesn't feed cancer. Folks who look healthy still can have serious, diet-related health issues. That's why this is important for everyone, not just those with weight to lose. PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched this week on January 11! Order it TODAY!

He didn't even realize what he had! But he would hear, live, the likes of Dr. John and Allen Toussaint. CARBY VEGGIES All veggies are carby, that's the bottom line. Vinnie eats things like broccoli, still. He doesn't want people to stop eating veggies. But they are a side dish (or meat-jewelry, as Vinnie calls them), not the whole meal. Everything has value, and that value is usually limited. This is similar to things like nuts. PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE The documentary launched this week on January 11! Order it TODAY!

Episode 2062 - On this Saturday show, Anne Happel joins Vinnie and the two talk projects, braving the elements, outdoor adventures, trying to be healthy against bad advice, avoiding migraines, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2022/03/braving-the-elements-episode-2062 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods BRAVING THE ELEMENTS Anne and her husband moved to Minnesota during COVID. Her dog loves the water -- even when it's cold. She went tubing down the river, her dog jumped into the water and began to drown, and she jumped off of the tube into the freezing water and saved him. This was a life-threatening situation, but it was exhilarating. Then, she began swimming in that water every day. It's normally between 40 and 50 degrees, and colder in the winter. Over time, she's tried to stay in the water longer and longer, but she listens to her body when she does. She usually stays under between one and three minutes. Anne wants it to be somewhat challenging, which is why she does more than just take cold showers! The ice has cut her before, but she tries to be as careful as she can. Vinnie might try something like this in his pool, to start. TRYING TO BE HEALTHY Anne had tried to be healthy her entire life. Then she heard Fitness Confidential. She realized calorie and fat restriction was not the way to go. Generally, she was always fairly healthy. But she got bad advice still. This way of eating has changed her life. She hasn't had a migraine since switching her diet. Anne feels there's a connection. Anne tries to keep inflammation down, especially in light of her Crohn's disease.
