(3:00)  Things started to go wrong with her health around age 62, including RA (rheumatoid arthritis) and Parkinson’s. Doctors told her that there was nothing she could do and that she could only take the drugs to mask the symptoms. They also told her diet didn’t matter much other than to limit her fat and protein, based on her medication. Her symptoms got worse, and many other complications happened.   Hospitals are businesses, and they will only do so much. (17:00)  Mimi had a family that advocated for her and insisted on treatment.   Mimi continues with more details of her health journey.

But she started moving her body: she kept telling herself, &quot;Just ten more steps.&quot; (20:00) She finally met a doctor who recommended a high-fat, low-carb diet; as a result, she started to feel better. (26:00)  She noticed that eating over 70-80% fat reduced her neuro-related symptoms. Vinnie suggest listening to Dr. Mary Newport, whose husband’s Alzheimer’s improved on coconut oil.   She was on thirteen medications that she slowly started eliminating. (33:00)  Do not do this without consulting with your doctor first.   She has reversed all symptoms of Parkinson’s, and her diagnosis has been removed.

[libsyn_podcast id=28828263] PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS          YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE -  The Trojan Horse of Labels  Gina asks why &quot;Jesus Christ Superstar&quot; is the intro song. (2:45)  Vinnie explains his use of the phrase &quot;Jesus H Christ&quot; on X (Twitter). He doesn’t use it to offend or degrade anyone’s religion. Vinnie believes in making the world better—and that’s what he tries to live by. He had a religious upbringing, however, it was a negative experience; as a result, he doesn&#39;t follow any religion.   Vinnie’s VIP Accountability group opens up on Nov 29th—keep an eye on his social media to learn more. (16:00)  He’ll be adding more value and content as the group goes along.   He’ll be launching a special during December for Pure Coffee Club. (20:15) He never tells people they are required to buy his products to have success on NSNG®.  He appreciates that people are willing to support his products.   Gina loves how supportive Vinnie is—he never shames or judges. (21:00) Processed foods are starting to go through FDA review and are being considered for warning labels on the packaging. (23:30)  Vinnie wonders if it’s a Trojan horse, like the Nutrition Panels on labels.  Nutrition panels on labels can be manipulated; that&#39;s why you should ignore them and only go by the ingredients list.   They chat about what calories really are, and why they don’t matter much overall.   Gina just discovered Dr. Cate Shanahan, who has been on the podcast several times. (30:00) Don&#39;t forget about Vinnie&#39;s new subscription community. You can find out more by going to . Gina has a new Instagram .  Check out Gina&#39;s book .

(5:00)  She advises that women stick to NSNG because, without it, menopause symptoms would be worse.   They chat about “pain management” and how it’s not ideal–and even dangerous–long term. (6:00)  Vinnie talks about some of what he does to manage neck pain. He prefers to avoid the doctors who act like “the candy man.” NSAIDs are a silent killer; they slowly mess up your liver and your stomach. (13:45)   Anna has some thoughts about NSAIDS (specifically Advil), too, and her experience with it. (15:00)  Her recent colonoscopy showed long-term damage.   Vinnie mentions how he knows Advil isn’t meant to be used frequently. (20:00) He shares his personal experience with CBD (no THC). (23:30)  He takes a full-spectrum CBD that has minimal THC. Be careful, however, as according to some sources he’s read, continuous use could show up in drug testing. For him, it works similarly to Advil, but without the side effects.   Anna shares a question about gut health or “leaky gut”. (39:30)  There is a real connection between the gut and the brain.   Vinnie was viewing the final cut of his next documentary. (42:00)  This leads to a discussion about other docs and shows and how they can be edited down. Anna is fascinated with shows about cults. (48:15) Anna is the voice-over actor for the show, “Killer Couples”.   Vinnie goes over more details regarding his new VIP Beta-Group. (52:30)  The plan is to build more tools for the community to use.   The Pure Coffee Club website is up and running smoothly again.

Avoiding the Candy Man - Episode 2415

Episode 2414 - On this Friday&#39;s show Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Nina Teicholz about the price of propaganda at Harvard, in the food industry, and more.  https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/11/price-propoganda-with-nina-teicholz-episode-2414 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS          YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE -  The Price of Propaganda  Harvard is consistently putting out incorrect studies led by Walter Willet. (2:00)  Nina has done an extensive deep dive on why this is happening. The big question is, why are Harvard and Walter Willet so anti-meat? She gives a great example of why correlation is not causation. (3:45)   She elaborates on her deep dive into Walter Willet. (7:15)  He keeps trying to assert that the science is settled on the topic of red meat to avoid debate. (14:30)   Vinnie asks Nina a pointed question—What’s in it for Willet? (16:45)  There are a lot of parallels between him and Ancel Keys.   Nina gives more details about the research she has done for her book. (19:30)  There are many conflicts of interest regarding funding; there is a price for propaganda.  She has written about this topic several times and revealed such conflicts.   Actual clinical trials do not support Willet’s claims. He always makes hypotheses but never completes clinical trials. There are so many data points that he ignores.    Follow the Money  There are plenty of fake food companies that are expanding their business interests. (31:00)  They are the ones creating the narrative that meat is bad for the planet so they can claim they are saving the planet.   Coincidentally, the claim of cow burps affecting the climate didn&#39;t arise until after the low-carb movement became popular. (34:45) The Barilla pasta company came up with a $40 million campaign to get meat off the plate, so you could replace it with pasta. (44:50) Ruminants are essential for soil sustainability and health, so why the attack on cows? (38:30) They chat a bit more about recent funding behind Harvard; it includes a donation of $350 million. (40:00)  Even the Harvard Crimson, the student newspaper, called out the $350 million donation as disingenuous. (43:00)   Nina ends on a positive note that there are plenty of people who conduct N=1 experiments who find their health improving when going low-carb and eating meat. (46:15) You can find Nina’s article at her Substack here:  You can find her book Big Fat Surprise . She can also be found on X/Twitter @bigfatsurprise.

(1:30) Vinnie mentions recent experts on the show who addressed the “study” by Harvard stating red meat causes T2 diabetes. (5:00)  Gina says it’s not just  Harvard spouting this. (7:00) At a family member&#39;s recent doctor visit, the doctor repeated the same misinformation. Everything old is new again--the wrong information gets repackaged into a &quot;new&quot; trend.   Gina asks who is behind the movement to move away from eating real food. (11:00) Vinnie says people are getting lulled into the false message. (13:30) They chat a bit about Olympic sports which you win by moving backward. (15:30) Gina’s next question is regarding HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training). (19:00)  This question has to do with walking up stairs. Vinnie makes some general “steps” recommendations.   Humans were not meant to be sedentary! Your body is a move-it-or-lose-it proposition!  Vinnie always figures out a way to fit in some form of exercise.   Vinnie emphasizes there is no “hacking” your body. (24:30) Gina asks Vinnie to talk about her two favorite quotes from Vinnie.

Episode 2412 - On this Monday&#39;s show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino have a plethora of information to go through and answer questions for you in rapid-fire fashion, and more.  https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/11/a-plethora-of-information-episode-2412 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS        YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE -  A Plethora of Information  On today&#39;s episode, Vinnie and Anna are doing a rapid-fire Q&amp;A. (4:15) They review the details of Vinnie’s VIP group. (5:00) Vinnie wants to make sure you hear the upcoming interview with Mimi Morgan (@MimiKMorgan on X/Twitter). (6:00)  She has a phenomenal story of transforming her health by changing her nutrition.   They get back to the VIP group details. (8:00)  They mention several success stories of NSNG. This new format will allow Vinnie to be a little more hands-on in helping members.    Get Ready for Great Info  What are Vinnie&#39;s thoughts on weighted vests? (18:15).  Vinnie has suggestions for use, but you also have to be careful when using one. He also explains plyometrics.   Can Pilates act as a strength-training day? (23:45) How much fat is too much fat when starting NSNG and needing to lose weight? (25:00)  This is tough to answer because it’s so individual, but he has general guidelines.   How much protein is needed to gain muscle? (28:05)  Vinnie clarifies and addresses the myth of the “30-minute window”. Taking in extra protein is not how you gain muscle. Your body is going to use what it needs to fuel, so extra will not necessarily do more. Flooding your cells thinking your body is going to absorb more doesn’t work, despite what the bro-science guys will tell you.   What are Vinnie&#39;s thoughts on pills to increase testosterone? (33:30)  Vinnie shares his viewpoints, and Anna has a recommendation for women.   How can you get enough protein when meat is expensive? (38:00)  He suggests varieties of protein, which is best, and where you are being misled. You can also just find cheaper cuts of meat.   How many &quot;sets to failure&quot; for weight-lifting are necessary? (44:30)  Vinnie suggests the best ways to do this.   There is a question about bloodwork, protein, and BUN levels, but it’s a medical question, so ask your doctor (48:30) Specific exercises for visceral fat? (49:00)  You can’t spot reduce fat, even through exercise. Exercise on its own is not a great way to lose weight.   Vinnie plays a recent Instagram post that summarizes what to eat. (53:00).

Sticking to Your Goals - Episode 2409

Episode 2408 - On this Friday&#39;s show Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dr. Zoe Harcombe and they discuss diabetes and meat, poor research, a need for a bottom-up revolution, and more.  https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/11/a-bottom-up-revolution-with-dr-zoe-harcombe-episode-2408 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS          YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE -  A Bottom-up Revolution  Dr. Zoe Harcombe has been on the episode before, and Vinnie recalls a quote she had discussed. (2:00)  People who had gone through bariatric surgery and who had lost weight would rather have almost any other affliction rather than be morbidly obese again.   Vinnie asks Zoe about the claim that meat causes T2 diabetes. (9:00)  The idea that meat, which humans have been eating for millennia is causing a modern-day disease (T2D) is absurd. (11:00) Harvard School of Public Health is consistently putting out misinformation based on survey studies. They chat about why they are so inaccurate.   Vinnie talks about how some of his consults go. (20:00) He shares with Zoe how he came to make “Beyond Impossible”. (26:45)  It was inspired by a deep dive into “reimagined” frankenfood products. He reached out to prominent vegan doctors to get their input, but he was refused by them.   Dr. Harcombe reveals that she used to be vegetarian and understands why people do it. (31:00)  She mentions the book by Lierre Keith, “”.   Vinnie asks her about her experience being vegetarian and vegan. (33:30)  She realized that the health problems she was having were prompted by a lack of animal products in her diet.    What Is the Endgame?   Vinnie asks what is the endgame for doctors like Walter Willet and others. (48:45)  Zoe discusses the importance of ruminants and topsoil in the food supply. If we continue on the path of veganism, we will destroy the planet’s ability to grow crops naturally.   Vinnie asks Zoe what is next in her research. (55:20)  She clarifies the recent research claim that red meat causes diabetes. People like Walter Willet most likely send such studies for peer review to those who are most likely to agree with him. (1:01:00) She’s written to Walter Willet personally and he refused to answer her questions.   Vinnie asks if he and others’ attempts to spread reliable health knowledge are futile. (1:06:00)  Dr. Harcombe says there needs to be a bottom-up revolution of getting knowledge out.    He also worries about how meat is being made more expensive and some people have to resort to cheap foods like pasta and rice to feed their families. (1:10:00)  They both give suggestions regarding affordable meat options.   Vinnie shares an update to his website that you&#39;ll want to check out: a VIP section! Go to  for more information.

(10:00)   Gina knows two people on GLP-1, and each is having a different experience. (13:20) Vinnie shares a headline about Nestlé making a “companion candy” to go with Ozempic. (14:30) They chat a bit about denim, fashion, quality, and self-respect. (14:45) They get back to the article and Gina reads about Nestlé and the “companion candy.” (22:30)  Why would people think that anything Nestlé makes would be “nutrient-dense&quot;?   Vinnie clarifies that carbs are not “muscle-sparing.” Just eat more real protein! They switch to discussing Vinnie’s upcoming subscription community.

Vinnie's Big Announcement - Episode 2406

Episode 2405 - On this Friday&#39;s show Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dr. Ben Bikman and they discuss weight loss drugs, creating a metabolic storm, if calories count, and more.  https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/11/creating-metabolic-storm-with-dr-ben-bikman-episode-2405 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS          YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE -  Creating A Metabolic Storm  Vinnie asks Dr. Ben Bikman about GLP-1,  which are drugs used for weight loss, like Ozempic, Wegovy, etc. (4:00) Dr. Bikman confirms that there are negative consequences that should be considered and that jumping on these drugs should be delayed. (6:30)  He’s not opposed, but he says the metabolism cannot be tricked. The result of very high doses is the slow down of the intestines—food does not leave the stomach. (8:55) These drugs can create a metabolic storm, especially in high doses.   He goes into clear detail and shares examples of fat and insulin resistance. (12:00) But then getting back off the medication creates a “metabolic storm”. Vinnie brings up weight loss and muscle loss when on those drugs. (15:30)  Dr. Bikman elaborates on muscle loss. Trying to regain muscle is difficult, especially if you’re older. It’s not just a matter of muscle—you must also keep bones strong. (21:45)   They discuss resistance training and repetition—it’s most effective to go to failure. (26:15) Don’t worry about the calories, worry about insulin. Focus on nourishing your body with proteins and fat—you do not need insulin spikes to grow muscle. (28:00)  Dr. Bikman makes a general recommendation for success in health and weight loss.    Are Calories a Thing?  They discuss the quality of calories, not just the quantity. (31:00) Dr. Bikman elaborates on the two theories of obesity: the endocrine theory and the caloric theory.  Calories are a measure used in physics and don’t translate directly to biochemical science. (33:00)   The moment you spike insulin, you slow your metabolism and return to hunger earlier. (40:00) Why is it that when protein raises insulin, it’s not a problem? (44:15)  Ben discusses the hormone glucagon and some recent research that is being done. The results of this research are still pending, but Dr. Bikman has some suggestions.   Vinnie asks about the “dawn effect.” (48:00)  Ben describes the phenomenon and how it affects various issues like T1 and T2 diabetics. He recommends that breakfast be a low-carb version. (52:00)   Vinnie has questions about sugar and fat cells, long-chain triglycerides, and if the amount of insulin matters. (53:00)  Ben describes how fat cells grow and the role of insulin in that process.   Dr. Bikman says most people could not get to 600 lbs; he explains why, and what differences can occur in genetics.  He describes the various ways that fat cells react, and how a person can develop things like fatty liver disease, fatty pancreatic disease, and more.   They agree that all of it can be changed through lifestyle

Episode 2402- On this Friday&#39;s show Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dr. Jen Unwin about food addiction, CGMs and how once you know, you can&#39;t unknow, and more.  https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/10/you-cant-unknow-with-dr-jen-unwin-episode-2402 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS          YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE -  You Can&#39;t Unknow  Vinnie and Dr. Unwin jump into a discussion about food, addictions, and how certain behaviors can lead to disease. (2:30)  Vinnie, however, has a problem blaming folks for getting addicted to foods, because food is necessary for survival, unlike, drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes. Optimally, we should continuously stay away from foods that harm us. (9:00)   Dr. Unwin appreciates some of her earlier struggles because now she is more aware of what it takes to keep a healthy body and brain. (10:00)  They discuss “bonk” and how Vinnie learned about fueling with ketones. She discusses brain health, ketones, and what happens in the brain with sugars. (15:00)   What seems to have been functional in early human evolution has gone awry because of our modern diets. (22:30)  They discuss food-like items that mess with body chemistry and how they affect hunger signals. (29:00)   The body really doesn’t require more than 1-2 teaspoons of sugar to function, and your body can make that on its own from your liver. (34:00) They talk about CGMs and what a beneficial tool it is. (38:00)  Once you see what certain foods do to your body you can&#39;t unknow!    Faulty Research and Faux Information  Vinnie shares the recently published article claiming that meat causes diabetes. (40:00)   They discuss how it’s a flawed study that doesn’t even make sense physiologically. Diabetes is caused by carbs, and meat has no carbs.   Low-fat and vegan diets are misleading when it comes to health. (50:00) Dr. Unwin is advocating for food addiction to be recognized as a medical problem. (53:00)  She hopes for health regulations based on the labeling and advertising of processed foods. Next year she will be part of a food addiction conference where notable doctors and experts will be speaking.   You can follow her on X/Twitter @jen_unwin or Dr Jen Unwin-Fork in the Road to receive updates on the conference. Vinnie mentions the challenge of the correct health information getting out there because of funding from high-finance sources. (55:00)  He’s excited about important conferences like Dr. Unwin mentions because they fight misinformation.   Dr Unwin gives a little more info on the conference: May 17, 2024 in Central London at the Royal College of General Practitioners.
