Fitness Confidential With Vinnie Tortorich

: Episode 1923 - On this Sunday School episode, the lovely Gina Grad joins Vinnie Tortorich to talk unconscious weight gain, crazy milks, Vinnie's new doc, news, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2021/09/crazy-milks-unconscious-weight-gain-episode-1923 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods UNCONSCIOUS WEIGHT GAIN Gina has received lots of compliments about her weight recently. She realizes she didn't receive the same sort of attention to her figure when she gained weight. People don't tend to comment on this, and that's part of why it can sneak up on you. Now, she's feeling much more confident. Gina is walking miles a day, which has also helped. CRAZY MILKS There are many insane milks. Milk isn't really milk unless it comes from an animal! A new company is making milk from fungi. If you are that against milk, don't drink them at all!!! Vinnie would also recommend that most avoid milk altogether.

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/09/getting-healthy-eating-real-food-episode-1922 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods ANDREA'S JOURNEY Andrea's been on the show before. Feeling Full, Carb Sensitivity, and More! – Episode 1622 She works for Kars4Kids! The song sure is catchy. Her line of work is also insanely rewarding. Over the years, Andrea has experienced excellent change through this lifestyle. GETTING ANGRY TO GET HEALTHY For many, you have to be at a breaking point before you find this intuitive way of eating. If you want to be healthy, try getting angry. For example, if people doubt you, take that as an opportunity to prove them wrong! REAL FOOD For Andrea, it's so much about real food. She's seen those with other eating practices succeed by eating this real food. FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON iT

: Episode 1921 - On this Friday show, Anna and Vinnie speak with Marie Tortorich down in Louisiana, and they also talk gambling, "healthy" supplements, grain brain, and more. https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/09/hurricane-ida-healthy-supplements-episode-1921 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Belcampo Villa Cappelli HURRICANE IDA Vinnie's been receiving a ton of notes regarding his family in Louisiana. Thank you for your kindness! Everyone on Vinnie's end is safe and well. Other families may be less fortunate. Most shops are closed, but some are still serving the community (the local ones). Vinnie's mom, Marie, reports live on this show! The Cajun Navy has been instrumental. Marie thinks the rest of the country should take a page out of Louisiana's book in this respect. "HEALTHY" SUPPLEMENTS Don't add something unhealthy to what's supposed to make you healthy. Many of these vitamins and supplements are filled with sugar. They've built their brands on being sweet and

Fortunately, they are all okay. The generator was a bit of a life saver for them. Overall, Vinnie's immediate family is doing well. COFFEE AND ANAEROBIC TRAINING Coffee is good for you. It's an excellent antioxidant. It can be a useful tool with respect to anaerobic training. And, consider having coffee for improved recovery. There are many studies showing these facts.

: Episode 1919 - On this Monday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk Vinnie's new movie, cowardly "experts", dangerous fat-loss methods, inflammatory "keto" products, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/cowardly-experts-dangerous-fat-loss-methods-episode-1919 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Belcampo Villa Cappelli COWARDLY "EXPERTS" Vinnie invited many vegan 'experts' and doctors onto his new movie. His assistant traded some emails with a few of them. Vinnie was going to give them a platform and was not going to twist their words. But, ultimately, they were unwilling to come on. They wouldn't sign any releases or anything of the like. These individuals didn't want to be pushed or challenged. Vinnie was simply going to challenge bad information with good information, but he wanted all perspectives to make the movie as clear and real as possible. Folks speak in these echo chambers and know that if they are challenged, they will be proven wrong. Vin

: Episode 1918 - On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad joins Vinnie Tortorich to talk new nut butter flavors, working hard and finding success, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/finding-success-episode-1918 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods FINDING SUCCESS Vinnie largely feels he is successful because he's always working for the next thing. Like a shark, if he stops moving, he drowns. Use your free time to fight and work for what you want. For Gina, it's similar -- when she has some free time, she goes to work on her next project.

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/sticking-to-this-way-of-life-episode-1917 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods WAY OF LIFE Michael has been on the show before. Losing 120 lbs & Gaining Your Life Back – Episode 1327 https://vinnietortorich.com/2019/05/losing-120-lbs-gaining-life-back-episode-1327/ He committed to this lifestyle when he realized he had nothing left to lose. At his lowest, he was around 160 lbs. Currently, he sits around 245. His clothes that fit at 225 still fit -- he's primarily gained muscle. During the shut down, he fell off the wagon. He lost track of this way of life. He got lazy in shutdown and the like. Importantly, Michael lost 8 medications! He feels better and he is quite clearly healthier. He's been on meds for so long, and it's freeing to get off. Drugs

: Episode 1916 - On this Friday show, Tammy Krotz joins Vinnie Tortorich to talk Tammy's journey as one of many COVID-19 long-haulers, Dr. Teitelbaum's help with supplements and medicines, getting her life back on track, and more. https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/recovering-covid-19-long-haulers-episode-1916 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Belcampo Villa Cappelli COVID-19 LONG-HAULERS Tammy got COVID-19 in June 2020. She is an elementary school teacher. When she caught it, she didn't feel well, but she certainly didn't feel terrible or hospitalization-worthy. Tammy was in good shape. She got it after going to an outdoor concert, or from the friend with whom she attended the concert. There were around 25 people at the event, and she did distance, typically. Of course, it's also possible one of them got it elsewhere, or something similar. At the time, she was at least relieved she had gotten it out of the way without a bad case... but she was wrong.

Stay tuned for the flavor announcement - we're working with our ingredient suppliers now. VITAMIN C Pure Vitamin Club is also releasing a new Vitamin C product soon. It will be of the highest quality. It's a liposomal Vitamin C! The makeup is fairly unique to our Vitamin C as compared to similar products on the market. Yes, our daily cap has Vitamin C in it, but it can be good to take a specific Vitamin C supplement. This should help strengthen your immune system further! Vinnie and Andy both take Vitamin C-specific products. FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON

: Episode 1914 - On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk "grass-fed" products, high-quality magnesium, snakes, fake cheese BS, Instagram feeds, recipes, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/high-quality-magnesium-fake-cheese-bs-episode-1914 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Belcampo Villa Cappelli HIGH-QUALITY MAGNESIUM Pure Vitamin Club's magnesium is an excellent product. Anna's doctor loves Vinnie's products. Magnesium citrate can give people some... quick stomachs. But, our product doesn't do that. The one product we can never let people run out of is our magnesium because people rely on this. Vinnie takes two each night and one in the morning. FAKE CHEESE BS This company they discuss uses crazy jargon. They speak about your soul, inspiration, and other craziness. It sounds like they're trying to get you to join a cult. Just eat REAL CHEESE, or don't eat cheese at all! There are lots of crazy companies with insane money-making techni

: Episode 1913 - On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad and Vinnie Tortorich talk wedding presents, sugary vegetables, NSNG® restaurants, carby milks, vegans, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/sugary-vegetables-episode-1913 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods SUGARY VEGETABLES Onions and bell peppers have surprising amounts of sugar when prepared or eaten a certain way. If you're having a few slices of either, do not worry. But, a bloomin' onion or something of the like should be avoided. Caramelized veggies should also be avoided for ketosis reasons. VEGAN 'EXPERTS' Vinnie wanted some vegans in his movie. He was going to make sure their voices could be heard, but they said no. The emails will be in the movie, however.

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/taking-your-health-to-the-next-level-episode-1912 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods LOW CARB LIFESTYLE Kevin has been on the show before. He found Vinnie through Gina. Kevin turned to NSNG® after he suffered a minor stroke. He did this aged 45, 6' tall, 252 lbs. Kevin is still on medication and is considering other treatment options, but he knows his healthy diet helps. However, he does drink a lot, and may try to cut that out. For some people, alcohol consumption can have a significant effect. NEXT LEVEL Kevin wants to take his health to the next level. He does some significant walking on many days. Vinnie does recommend some aerobic activity at this point. Zone 2 activity is the way to go. Take 180 and subtract your age and that should be your Zone 2 heart range ge

: Episode 1911 - On this Friday show, Dr. Phil Maffetone joins Vinnie Tortorich to discuss his book, The Big Book of Endurance Training and Racing, Zone 2 and training slow, "odd" jobs, Mark Allen, and more. https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/endurance-training-racing-dr-phil-maffetone-episode-1911 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Belcampo Villa Cappelli "ODD" JOBS Vinnie and Dr. Maffetone have both largely blazed their own paths. They don't have some 'job title,' or anything like a 9-5. The whole concept doesn't appeal to Dr. Maffetone. He worked in a clinic for some time, worked with athletes, corporate clients, and more. But now, he marches to the beat of his own drum even more. He can't really explain his job. Similarly, neither Vinnie nor Dr. Maffetone know what they would do if they were ever to retire. Our brains can always keep going and growing. We're thirsty for knowledge and learning, and we should all strive to stay engaged one way or another. ENDURAN

Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/intense-ultramarathons-episode-1910 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods INTENSE ULTRAMARATHONS Serena runs ultras. She just did her first in Virginia. This was a 30 mile race with 7500 feet of elevation. However, it runs like a 50 miler because it is so difficult. Check it out: it's called Jarman's Gap. Many quit--even the most fit--but Serena finished all five laps. Serena is training for additional races. Luckily, the conditions likely won't be as brutal as they were when she ran Jarman's. It was hot as hell, and there was an incredibly intense thunderstorm. LAS VEGAS KETO EXPO We will be there. Check out our Ultra Fat product there. Next year, we will be at additional events. This event takes place October 15-16. FAT DOC 2 IS AVAILABLE ON iTUNES and AMAZON Please also share it

: Episode 1909 - On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk recent heat, Jane Fonda, fitness for children, success as a fitness trainer, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/success-as-a-fitness-trainer-more-episode-1909 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Belcampo Villa Cappelli FITNESS FOR CHILDREN Vinnie wanted to do a show on fitness for children. In part, he wanted to bring on great athletes (especially young ones) to inspire kids. You, as a kid, can do this, too! Starting healthy habits like exercise at a young age is so important. FITNESS TRAINER It can be difficult to become successful as a trainer. Vinnie became successful because he was attentive, relentless, and did it for a long period of time. Think of Radu or Gilad, for example. As with everything, many fail at first. Anna feels this in the voice-over and voice-acting world! Beware of people who get their certificate for personal training online and quickly. And make sure the pe

: Episode 1908 -- On this Sunday School episode, Gina Grad joins Vinnie Tortorich to talk blood glucose, ketone level testing, strict NSNG®, cholesterol and doctors, leg presses, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/ketone-level-testing-episode-1908 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods KETONE LEVEL TESTING Gina has been strict NSNG® for some time now. For Gina, this means no dairy. She wanted to know about her blood glucose and ketone levels. So, she got a home tester. She has the Precision Extra glucose monitor which can check both blood glucose and ketone levels. You need very little blood with this machine. It requires a quick and relatively painless finger prick. Tip: try pricking the side of your finger for fewer nerves. Anything on the scale means you're in ketosis. The higher number, the better.

: Episode 1907 - On this Saturday show, Cassandra Taylor joins Vinnie to discuss exercise without healthy eating, Cassandra's incredible weight loss journey, failed calorie restriction diets, powerlifting records, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/exercise-without-healthy-eating-episode-1907 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods EXERCISE WITHOUT HEALTHY EATING Exercise by itself is a poor way to lose weight. If you have a trainer but are not eating low carb, stop paying your trainer. Cassandra had this experience -- she was obese and her trainer would say she was strong, but that wouldn't actually help. All they said to her was "eat healthy at home." They wanted her to eat low fat and calorie restrict, but this did not work for her. These diets stop working when you stop paying attention. At her heaviest, she weighed over 400 lbs at 5'10" in her 30s. She avoided the doctor because she didn't want to hear what they had to say. SEEING THE NUTRITIONAL LIGHT Pr

Whitney, scuba, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/travel-preferences-pizza-crusts-episode-1906 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Belcampo Villa Cappelli PIZZA CRUST Anna does several different crusts. She has done cauliflower, fathead crust, and sausage crust -- sausage crust is really easy to cook at home! Vinnie doesn't believe in using bread substitutes too often, but these can be good when you really have that craving or your kids want pizza. TRAVEL PREFERENCES Vinnie and Anna both really like traveling. They're both Italian. Anna finally got her dad to visit Italy later in life. Vinnie's family still hasn't been. For some people, traveling abroad isn't the thing. Some people like cruises or resorts -- it's all about finding what you love and doing that! Vinnie suggests you do something where you c

: Episode 1905 - On this Wednesday show, Andy Schreiber and Vinnie Tortorich talk Ultra Salt, hydrating for motor skills, reversing type 2 diabetes, CBD products, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/hydrating-for-motor-skills-episode-1905 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods HYDRATING FOR MOTOR SKILLS Vinnie has recently realized the importance of hydration and motor skills. He noticed that he and others would start falling behind after a couple rounds of skeet shooting, out in the heat. Now, he takes Ultra Salt as if he were prepping for another physical activity, and it's really helped. His scores now remain constant instead of dip as he is out in the sun for longer periods of time. When you get a little dehydrated, it can affect your eyesight. Vinnie thinks this could be it. CBD PRODUCTS Vinnie uses this sparingly, three or four times a week, for his pain. It does not have THC in it. He has done his research to find the high quality stuff. He kissed a lot

: Episode 1904 - On this Monday show, Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino talk karaoke, hard knocks, hormones & junk food, alcohol, and more. Https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/hard-knocks-hormones-junk-food-episode-1904 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods Belcampo Villa Cappelli HARD KNOCKS Hard knocks can do two things: (1) make people want to quit and have a defeatist mentality, or (2) fire people up. Vinnie and Anna have had their share of difficulties. However, they don't say 'woe is me.' They use this to motivate them -- anger can be a good motivator if you cultivate it! Neither Vinnie nor Anna found success easily. They both still have naysayers but they keep fighting. HORMONES & JUNK FOOD Vinnie did a consult recently with a woman who put the weight she lost back on. She couldn't stop eating junk because people kept putting it in front of her. At work, for example, junk is available. If you're eating junk, it's not because you're weak. It's because you
