: Episode 1762 - On this Saturday show, David Robinson joins Vinnie to talk his low-carb health success, controlling epilepsy with diet, his new book My Unremarkable Brain, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/01/controlling-epilepsy-with-diet-episode-1762 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli Belcampo ROWING FOR EXERCISE In his youth, David did row. Then, he got out of it for a bit. He tried to squeeze it in, but it didn't last long for awhile. Vinnie rows a lot. This past year, he rowed 2 million meters. David has gotten back into rowing too. LOW-CARB HEALTH David didn't have a lot of weight to lose. However, he did have some issues that a keto diet fixed. Check out his book documenting this, My Unremarkable Brain. https://www.amazon.com/Unremarkable-Brain-Fat-Fueled-Adventure-Ketogenic/dp/163676536X The book features interviews from several luminaries (and Vinnie, too!). David has always been a writer. The luminary shows on this podcast really got David on board. NSNG® is simple, and he liked that he didn't have to track and there weren't a lot of rules. He has lost 20-30 lbs between his eating and his rowing. CONTROLLING EPILEPSY WITH DIET David suffers from epilepsy. He had been on medication and seizure free for 10 years. In 2017, his seizures came back while he was driving. It started with audio auras. After this, David looked more into keto. He is still on medication as well. Hearing about the Charlie Foundation and Jim Abrams made a difference for him. He reached out to the adult diet epilepsy center at Johns Hopkins. She prescribed a very low carb, NSNG® diet. This ketogenic diet has helped him greatly. He has been seizure free for the past 3 years! Diet should be an adjunct therapy, not a last resort. FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON ITUNES!

: Episode 1761 - On this special 1-on-1 show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie Tortorich talk Clubhouse, New Year newbies, common questions for newbies, Anna's carnivore diet, the danger of 'cheat days,' and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/01/new-year-newbies-common-questions-episode-1761 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli Belcampo NEW YEAR NEWBIES If you follow us on Clubhouse, you can ask questions and the like. We will answer questions live from time to time! Every new year, new people join the Facebook group. Newbies, don't get bossy, and old members, don't get condescending or confusing. Stick to NSNG® -- let's keep it simple and teach people Vinnie's way. These people want help. Teach others kindly and don't push confusing or misleading information. There may be some gray area, so just stick to the basics with new people. For newbies, some may have trouble accepting this new way of eating. This doesn't mean they're weak -- it takes longer for some people. Older members, be patient! COMMON QUESTIONS No, sweeteners or honey is not NSNG. If you eat fruit, stick to berries (but maybe cut them out for 30 days). Don't have BBQ sauce of Ketchup –– they have a lot of sugar. Avoid salad dressings, just try olive oil and salt. You don't need to be in ketosis or count calories or macros. Cheat days are dangerous. Putting life into living is a very different thing. FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON ITUNES!

: Episode 1760 - On this Wednesday show, Andy Schreiber joins Vinnie Tortorich and the two discuss being just a tiny bit famous, land oil leases, flavor complexity in our coffee, our sales conversion rate (which is 50%+!), Amazon and our nut butters, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/01/flavor-complexity-in-our-coffee-episode-1760 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods People from 100+ countries can now purchase our nut butters and vitamins from Amazon.com. FLAVOR COMPLEXITY Coffee has gotten much better over the years. It used to be pretty bad! Diners would use a cheaper bean with high caffeine and not much flavor. Folgers is fine for many. However, if you want robust flavor complexity, try our coffee. We have several different roasts and blends, and our Explorer Series changes every month or two for fun, different flavors. Our beans are the highest quality. FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON ITUNES! Please also share it with family and friends! Buy it and watch it now on iTunes to get it to the top of the charts.

: Episode 1759 - On this Monday show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie Tortorich to talk New Years resolutions progress, the most recent Saturday show and COVID-19 comorbidities, getting family on board (or not), easing into exercise, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/01/new-years-resolutions-progress-episode-1759 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli Belcampo NEW YEARS RESOLUTION PROGRESS Anna and Vinnie like to check in for the first couple months of each year to talk continued New Years resolutions work. If you've fallen off, get right back on! You don't need to do everything at once...things take time to change. If you aren't losing weight yet, stick with it for 30-60 days, and then try to figure out what could be causing stalling. If you don't exercise yet, that's okay, ease into it. Go slow, and then go a bit slower. However you need to exercise is great. Keep cooking your own food -- stick to the stovetop recipes. Anna has tons of super easy and quick recipes in her cookbooks, Eat Happy and Eat Happy Too. Don't let yourself off the hook now. Put some fat with your veggies, they will taste better! COVID-19 COMORBIDITIES Many comorbidities around bad eating exist. Type 2 Diabetes and morbid obesity are big comorbidities. Lowering inflammation is, at the least, a good thing. Make sure you communicate with your family or spouse or friends about medical directives. You may need someone advocating for you in the hospital. They can advocate for you to have fewer carbs and staying in keto. This *could* help fight the virus... THE CARNIVORE UPDATE Anna was, as of this recording, 14 days into her carnivore diet. So far, it's going well. Anna is feeling good and enjoying it. She's in ketosis! Recently, she added a bit of non-dairy into her coffee. Otherwise, all she eats is meat and coffee.

: Episode 1758 - On this Sunday School episode, Vinnie Tortorich, Gina Grad, and Andy Harris talk the Hilaria act, gaining lean muscle mass, cholesterol tests, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/01/cholesterol-tests-episode-1758 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods HILARIA BALDWIN The situation with Hilaria Baldwin (wife of Alec Baldwin), is pretty comedic. Gina and her co-host, Teresa, talk about this on their "Easy Listening" podcast. She reinvented herself...but then seemed to lie about it. She even seemed to forget the word for "cucumber," despite being born and raised here and knowing English. It's funny that Alec Baldwin played along with this. CHOLESTEROL TESTS Andy, Gina's fiancé, has run 4 marathons on NSNG. He runs faster and recovers much quicker. Now, he's trying to put on more lean muscle mass. He is concerned because he's cut down on the eggs and the like. His doctor told him his cholesterol was too high. However, his doctor, like most, didn't read and interpret a whole panel. You need to know your triglyceride, HDL, LDL levels and the breakdowns of each. If you don't eat enough cholesterol, your body will make cholesterol. You NEED it. Before you do these tests, you should be fasting. Your cholesterol levels can change from day to day, especially depending on what you eat. FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON ITUNES!

: Episode 1757 - On this Saturday show, David Scholes joins Vinnie to discuss his wife's death from COVID-19 complications, COVID-19 and sugar, horrible hospital diets, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/01/covid-19-and-sugar-episode-1757 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods COVID-19 AND SUGAR David's wife unfortunately passed away from COVID-19 complications earlier this year. She was only 48 years old. His wife suffered from Type 2 Diabetes, but it was under control. She did not stick to NSNG® or a ketogenic diet. David noticed that in his family, the members who ate sugar and the like had worse symptoms. For a while, it seemed his wife was getting better, but unfortunately she ended up in the ICU and passed after a lengthy 5-week battle. Three weeks into her hospital stay, David finally got to see her. But, at that point, she was largely sedated, unfortunately. He was worried about the food she was fed in the hospital. David tried to get the hospital to try a ketogenic diet toward the end, and they started with a 72 hour fast. She was 30% better with oxygen intake toward the end of that fast. The studies on this have not been tested in humans but have had positive results in mice. FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON ITUNES! Please also share it with family and friends!

: Episode 1756 - On this Friday show, Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum joins Vinnie Tortorich to discuss treating low energy and fibromyalgia, vitamins and supplements and COVID-19, the SHINE protocol, the role of Vitamin D and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/01/treating-low-energy-dr-teitelbaum-episode-1756 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli Belcampo DR. JACOB TEITELBAUM Dr. Teitelbaum is a super-doctor. He is an internist and an expert when it comes to fibromyalgia, pain, sleep and fatigue syndrome. He was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and therefore learned about pain management Check out his website here! http://endfatigue.com He has also been on the show before. Some of his great books may be found below. TREATING LOW ENERGY This can appear in a variety of ways. Fibromyalgia is the worst energy crisis--it is a disease. You can't sleep but are exhausted and have other negative symptoms. You're spending more energy than you make. Really, people need about 9 hours per night. If you simply have insomnia, there are good tools that are natural. Try some melatonin, or magnesium, for example. Low energy (and even fibromyalgia) is very treatable, fortunately. Diet can make a huge difference. Additionally, use your whole tool-kit. Consider natural remedies (like vitamins), diet, exercise, medications, working on your hormones, and more. The tool-kit can be helpful for people with energy issues generally. Think of SHINE. S - Sleep. H - Hormones. I - Infections. N - Nutritional Supplements. E - Exercise. VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS AND COVID-19 There are studies being done on the interplay of vitamins and supplements and COVID-19. Many with severe COVID-19 have Vitamin D deficiencies. It certainly isn't bad to take a bit more zinc, Vitamin D, and similar vitamins. This WILL NOT cure or definitely prevent COVID. This may help you if you get it, or improve your immune system to prevent you from getting it. Vitamin D acts as a hormone and is clearly a vitamin. We are still trying to figure out if certain diseases make Vitamin D low or if people with low levels are more likely to have these diseases. FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON ITUNES!

: Episode 1754 - On this Monday show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie to talk school-age bullies and friendship, John Dunn's progress coming off of meds, sticking to NSNG®, healing your gut, Anna's switch to carnivorism, Vinnie's addiction to sugar, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/01/sticking-to-nsng-healing-your-gut-episode-1754 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli Belcampo SCHOOL-AGE BULLIES AND FRIENDSHIPS Both Vinnie and Anna faced bullies. Vinnie was deaf which caused bullying. Anna dealt with some mean girls. In high school, though, they both gained good friends. Vinnie had his friends but all of a sudden the jocks wanted to hang. He didn't ditch his old friends. Anna switched schools and had a fresh start! STICKING TO NSNG® If you've just started, stick with it! Check out the Facebook page where a lot of people share their progress. Even if the scale isn't moving, keep going. Make sure no sneaky sugars or sweeteners are sneaking in. Do it for a full 31 days before you step on a scale, if possible. Also, pay attention to non-scale victories, like increased energy, lost inches, and more! If it isn't working, schedule a consult with Vinnie, and maybe you can figure out if there's something amiss. You don't need to get fancy or do all carnivore (but you can), just eat no sugars (or sweeteners) and no grains. HEALING YOUR GUT If you have a lot of gut inflammation, there are several ways to try to fix this. You can try normal NSNG®, you will likely see improvements. Of course, consult with a doctor. You can fast (Anna doesn't like to). You can really cut out ALL carbs (by doing something like going carnivore). There may be other methods, too. There are tests that may reveal what foods you are more sensitive to -- again, consult with your doctor. FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON ITUNES! Please also share it with family and friends!

: Episode 1753 - On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad joins Vinnie to talk her fiancé's health journey, Vinnie's religious beliefs (or lack thereof), figuring out life, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/01/figuring-out-life-episode-1753 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VINNIE'S ATHEISM Vinnie is open about his atheism. He believes he became an atheist because of his experience with the church. More than anything, the nuns at his school were cruel. They treated him terribly, abused him, and made his life much harder. He had a hard time finding God in all of the abuse he was enduring from the church. FIGURING OUT LIFE Sometimes as a kid, you try to figure out your life. You may need to ask difficult questions to do so. If you are disrupting, that may be okay –– just be polite and respectful, but stay true to yourself and your beliefs. Challenging people and ideas can be a good thing if done with respect. As adults, when we begin these weight loss journeys, many feel they are figuring out their lives! Challenge what the government says about health, that is okay. Question what you've been doing if it doesn't work, etc. FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON ITUNES! Please also share it with family and friends!
