Fitness Confidential With Vinnie Tortorich

: Episode 1963 - On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad and Vinnie Tortorich talk trick-or-treaters, Halloween, Vinnie's neighborhood, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2021/10/goodies-for-trick-or-treaters-episode-1963 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods TRICK-OR-TREATERS Gina wonders what goodies Vinnie gives to trick-or-treaters. Vinnie hasn't really had the opportunity to give out anything. He's not sure what he would do. He has heard of some giving out his nut butters. It is also okay for kids to have candy from time to time. This is kids's Super Bowl. The perfect time for them to put life into living. They're just kids -- and fully depriving them of things like this can create an unhealthy relationship with food. Tallulah had been taught to like healthy foods, so she would barely even eat any of her Halloween candy. This year, Vinnie may give out some high quality chocolate.

: Episode 1962 - On this Saturday show, Scott King joins Vinnie to share his inspirational story, and the two talk ineffective calorie deficits, skin removal surgery, conquering triathlon, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/10/conquering-triathlon-episode-1962 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods SCOTT KING Scott has been on the show before. He realized he had to take action about his morbid obesity when his daughter ran out into the middle of the street and he couldn't run to catch her. At that time, Scott was 550 lbs. Nothing happened to his daughter, but it was a wake up call. Shortly thereafter, he found Vinnie and other like-minded individuals. He finally started moving around. Scott is 6'1" 250 lbs now! Last year, he had skin removal surgery which he is grateful for. They took about 10 lbs off. INEFFECTIVE CALORIE DEFICITS Previously, Scott had tried everything, he thought. Weight Watchers, shakes, CICO, and more. He had a gastric bypass at 552 lbs and g

: Episode 1961 - On this Friday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Dr. Philip Ovadia talk finding accurate information, unhealthy processed foods, improving metabolic health, the COVID-15 and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/10/improving-metabolic-health-with-dr-philip-ovadia-episode-1961 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli DR. PHILIP OVADIA Philip is based out of Florida, but also travels to Memphis often for work. He is a cardiothoracic surgeon. The two most common surgeries he performs are bypass surgeries and surgeries dealing with lung cancer. When it comes to the heart, he's a plumber. As a heart surgery, he tries to help his patients understand cholesterol. Just because cholesterol is there when there's a heart problem, doesn't mean *it* is causing the problem. FINDING ACCURATE INFORMATION To some exact, the information you receive is being controlled. With health, the proprietors of the food control the flow of information. Grain companies fund s

: Episode 1960 - On this Wednesday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Andy Schreiber talk the John Muir Trail, softening society, Vinnie's work as a personal trainer, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/10/softening-society-episode-1960 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods SOFTENING SOCIETY The John Muir Trail is a fabulous trail. Part of it goes up Mt. Whitney. The easier trail, the "mule way," was designed for what Muir called the "soft and succulent." Things have generally gotten softer, and we've lost a lot because of it. We're softer in more sense than one! As people have gotten lazier, many have gotten unhealthier. Think TV dinners! Seed oils and processed foods have hurt us greatly, but so has nonmovement, promoted by technological advancement and the emergence of 'easier' ways.

: Episode 1959 - On this Monday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk staying busy with phone consults and yard work, taking responsibility for your eating, Vinnie's shakes, caffeine, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/10/taking-responsibility-for-your-eating-episode-1959 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli STAYING BUSY Vinnie and Anna both stay busy. Vinnie's working on his last documentary, his companies, his PDF, this podcast, and he does phone consults several days a week––and, Vinnie makes sure to make time to work out and get outside. In his 'spare time,' Vinnie has been putting in a lot of work on his and Serena's new house. He's on yard work now. TAKING RESPONSIBILITY If you don't think you have time to 'eat healthy,' Vinnie bets you do. Do you make your kids' breakfast. Go do your morning breakfast-preparing routine, and see how long it takes you. Do it at a normal speed, but don't count washing dishes. Now, scramble some eggs th

: Episode 1958 - On this Sunday School episode, Vinnie and Gina Grad talk good music, getting outdoors, millennials and popcorn, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2021/10/getting-outdoors-good-movies-episode-1958 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods GETTING OUTDOORS When Vinnie was a kid, he watched the Beverly Hillbillies, and he didn't get the joke. Vinnie spent all of his childhood outdoors. Hunting, fishing, you name it -- Vinnie was outside doing it. Encourage your kids to get outside! POPCORN Popcorn is not NSNG. However, Vinnie made some for the neighbors' kids while they watched a movie. They didn't realize popcorn was just .... popped corn!

: Episode 1957 - BEST OF: On this Saturday show, we feature the esteemed Nina Teicholz's third appearance on the podcast from August, 2018. Nina joins Vinnie to talk her participation in the Fat Doc, the "come-from-behind" story, lies about saturated fat, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/10/best-of-lies-about-saturated-fat-nina-teicholz-episode-1957 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods NINA TEICHOLZ Nina is one of Vinnie's favorite people She is a top luminary in the field. Vinnie likes to say the male version of her is Gary Taubes. She's been interviewed for the Fat Doc. Nina kindly took time off of her family vacation to shoot her part in Vinnie's living room. Check out the Fat Doc 3 when Vinnie's done with it, too! Nina's an accomplished author.

: Episode 1956 - On this Friday show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie to talk the Las Vegas Keto Expo, "keto" products, BS speakers, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/10/keto-products-and-more-episode-1956 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli "KETO" PRODUCTS Andy and Anna just went to the Las Vegas Keto Expo. Some of Vinnie's companies advertised their healthy products. However, the expo was really filled with terrible food. Some booths had good intentions, but many stole good intentions. There were tons of products with erythritol and other sweets on top of products that simply didn't need them. Nothing called 'caramel sauce' can be good for you. This is still sugar -- even if the sugar is 'natural' or comes in the form of chemicals. Why would you put this on chicken? These type of products are not good for you. Even if you aren't NSNG®. Plus, these products are also not satiating. Lots of these products have 15+g carbs, but have the nerve to say the

: Episode 1955 - On this Wednesday show, Andy Schreiber and Vinnie Tortorich talk Tuesday and Thursday Tips, "keto" products, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/10/the-pre-workout-myth-episode-1955 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods THE PRE-WORKOUT MYTH Pre-workout is a product made to be sold. It isn't necessary, and brands do not guarantee that it will help––because it might not. Often, pre-workouts are filled with crap you do not want to consume. If you want a little pick-me-up before you workout, try having some coffee or some other natural and healthy ergogenics. Coffee is good for you and is more guaranteed to have a positive effect, in Vinnie's opinion. Vinnie loves it before aerobic activity. Today, he had some before he rowed. "KETO" FOOD People slap keto on something even if it's filled with crap. Vinnie sees all of these kinds of products everywhere–at conventions, at stores, and more. These products are stealing good intentions. This is a huge pr

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/10/money-driven-talking-heads-sticks-and-stones-more-episode-1954 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli MONEY-DRIVEN TALKING HEADS There are talking heads on the TV and internet that talk nonsense. Sanjay Gupta is, in Vinnie's opinion, one of them. His opinions tend to be poorly backed. For example, there is weird support for sugar by some of these talking heads. Follow the money, see where it leads. Vinnie tries to break down people like this and more in his new documentary. He's tearing down everyone who is propagating BS. STICKS AND STONES Vinnie thinks we need to go back to sticks and stones. Don't let words affect you so much! If words piss you off, use them to motivate you.

: Episode 1953 - On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad joins Vinnie Tortorich, and the two talk wedding photos, multi-sport athletes, scholarships, Machine Gun Kelly, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2021/10/multi-sport-athletes-episode-1953 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods WEDDING PHOTOS Vinnie recently saw some of Gina and Andy's photos. They were stunning. Gina, as usual, looked absolutely phenomenally beautiful. The photos will be on Gina's insta and other social media. Vinnie met Teresa at the wedding! MULTI-SPORT ATHLETES Fewer kids these days play many sports. In Vinnie's day, the athletic kids played everything. You could get a ton of letters on your jacket. Vinnie had 4 for football, basketball, track, and field -- 16 letters total. They'd also get different champion and tournament patches, too. This worked for Vinnie! He got a D1 football scholarship to Tulane. It's good for kids to play many sports. It can often help the other sports, too. We should

: Episode 1952 - On this Saturday show, the wonderful Lindsey Paul joins Vinnie for a second appearance to discuss her sport–extreme long range shooting–and her new world record. The two also talk unhealthy vegan food, Olympic sports, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/10/unhealthy-vegan-food-extreme-sports-episode-1952 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods EXTREME LONG RANGE SHOOTING Lindsey has been a real fan of this way of eating and the podcast for a year. She's always avoided gluten because she's always had some issues there. Recently, she sent in $24.64 as a donation to keep this podcast running. Vinnie was perplexed as to this amount. She decided to donate this specific amount because at the time, 2,464 yards is the world record she set as an extreme long shooter. Now, as of this past week, her (and THE) record is 2 miles! She was the first woman to win this event. https://tylerpaper.com/news/queen-of-the-hill-texas-shooter-becomes-first-woman-to-win-tw

Scott's new book came out recently. It discusses the life of a Hotshot, a Wildland Firefighter. This is a vocation that Scott is very passionate about. It is one of the most intense, difficult, physically demanding jobs. This book makes you want to learn even more. The job pays poorly -- Scott went from a corporate salary to this job. But, if you love it, you love it. And it is pretty heroic work, Vinnie thinks. SCOTT'S ONLINE PRESENCE Scott also has a fantastic company, LIVETHEFUEL. Check it out here. https://livethefuel.com/ It's a lifestyle brand and a podcast. Scott is a marketing en

He went on Whew!, $25,000 Pyramid, and Catchphrase. Total, he won around $33,000 and a TV. And, Andy looked great while he did it. COFFEE BENEFITS Coffee does have health benefits. Vinnie does little tips on the PCC Instagram. Check that out. Vinnie will drink coffee while he's watching a football game. Nobody would ever ask him why he's on his third beer; but people ask why he's on his third coffee. It really should be the other way around, as far as health is concerned.

: Episode 1949 - On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk creating content, genuine sponsors, the PDF, supplement scams, Starbucks craziness, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/10/supplement-scams-genuine-sponsors-more-episode-1949 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Villa Cappelli GENUINE SPONSORS Vinnie and Anna have always wanted to give out good, free information. To keep the show running, they've taken on sponsors. Villa Cappelli has been a sponsor for many years. They've been very picky about sponsors; Vinnie will only take money from people whose products he really believes in. Vinnie will not be filling the Belcampo sponsorship slot. Instead, he'll give ads for products he believes in without sponsorship money. Vinnie's never going to tell you 'you must by X for Y.' Because that would be a lie. This said, we do ask that if you are going to buy a cookbook or buy vitamins or coffee, that you do it from us. That keeps this whole project

This Sunday, Gina talks a lot about Squid Game. She was on this show before others! Ted Lasso is still on her re-watch list because of Vinnie & Serena. Vinnie and Serena watch Ted Lasso religiously. This is a phenomenon! Vinnie calls it 'darling.' GINA'S WEDDING Vinnie attended Gina's wedding a week or two ago. The wedding was beautiful. Gina wrote vows for Andy's (her husband's) son. They took a mini honeymoon to Idyllwild, CA. FOOD HANGOVERS During her honeymoon, Gina didn't eat particularly well. She decided to 'reward' herself with food. This is not the right way to think about it. She didn't

Episode 1946 - BEST OF: Journalist and author Marika Sboros (FoodMed.net) joins Vinnie for a third time to talk about more conspiratorial evidence that had surfaced since the publication of her new book with Dr. Tim Noakes The Lore of Nutrition: Challenging conventional dietary beliefs, which details the world-famous trial in South Africa designed to discredit him.

She'll fast for 24 hours, or something like that. When you break a fast, do it with something high in fat! Anna had chicken thighs and mushrooms. You do NOT need to fast on this way of eating. Vinnie doesn't think fasting is for everyone. Check out Dr. Jason Fung if you want to learn more about fasting. STAYING IN ZONE 2 Start slow with Zone 2. Eventually, you'll build up. Vinnie did 17 hours of aerobics over a few days and stayed in Zone 2 the whole time. Zone 2 exercise can be relaxing, and it's so very good for you. Hiking, walking, running, etc., can be zone 2 exercise. Listen to a podcast while you do it if time moves slowly for yo
