(9:00)  Fitness and longevity used to be a byproduct of regular workdays and living. (13:00) We’ve become a very sedentary society, and it’s harder to fit movement in because of the current workday.

(16:00)  He emphasizes the need to always have something in front of you.     They discuss how cell phones have affected society negatively. (18:45) Mark shares thoughts on how, just like your body needs recovery from exercise, your brain needs recovery to reset from screen time.  The phone is interfering with and depleting replenishment. (19:55)   They go into a deep dive about other ways to disconnect; as a result, this leads to chatting about the need for reconnecting to nature. (22:00)  They reflect on what brings fulfillment to each of them. Vinnie tells Mark about Colin O'Brady and the 12-Hour walk. (28:30) Vinnie plays a bit from George Carlin about "stuff".

Reconnecting to Nature with Mark Allen - Episode 2366

Episode 2365 - On this Wednesday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Gina Grad talk about NSVs, how lycra lies, epidemiological studies bending the truth, and more.  https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/08/bending-the-truth-episode-2365 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS          YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE -  BENDING THE TRUTH  Today’s episode starts with a discussion about Sinéad O’Connor, who has tragically passed. (2:00)  Vinnie and Gina give an earnest reminder to always reach out to someone when feeling mentally distressed. There are so many people who care, even when it doesn't feel like it.   Gina shares a recent NSV (non-scale victory)—she fits into a new pair of jeans! (11:00)  She has results she can FEEL, and it feels amazing. She added in a little intermittent fasting. But she also reads an article from the NYPost that claims intermittent fasting raises blood sugar, which doesn’t makes sense.   This leads to a conversation about how things like lycra and leggings help hide things like weight gain. (20:00)  As a result, people end up ignoring and/or delaying changes in their habits.   Both lycra and many epidemiological studies can be a type of "bending the truth." Back to the NYPost article: Vinnie addresses why epidemiological studies can’t fully be trusted. (26:30)  Correlation does not mean causation. There are so many variables, like sleep, and misreporting of food intake. Vinnie quizzes Gina and not even her MENSA card can help her out on this one! Gina gives an example of how her schedule affected her; her body became very dysregulated.   Check out Gina's book .

Episode 2357 - In this Friday’s episode, Vinnie Tortorich welcomes author Andrea Bertaglio and they discuss the core of the problem with attacks on the meat and farm industries, and more.  https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/07/core-of-the-problem-with-andrea-bertaglio-epsiode-2357 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS        You can watch this episode on Vinnie's Fitness Confidential YOUTUBE channel - THE CORE OF THE PROBLEM  Vinnie welcomes Andrea Bertaglio, who is the author of "". (2:40)  Andrea is an environmental journalist who was investigating the farming industry. His goal is to get the correct information out into the world about meat, nutrition, and the farming industry.   Both Vinnie and Andrea's backgrounds growing up exposed them to farming, so they both have a working knowledge of what farming takes. (7:00)  They discuss the frustration of speaking to people with no working knowledge of farming. Others just want to look at data, preach from their offices, get financial backing, and determine public policy. Even knowledgeable people like Frank Mitloehrner are often ignored by certain activist groups.   It is important to get away from "confirmation bias" (only looking for information that confirms one's current beliefs) in all areas. (13:00)  Andrea discovered his own biases when he was interviewing farmers about the environment. (15:30) This was the tipping point and he realized he was naive and susceptible to dogma he had been exposed to early in his career.   Vinnie and Andrea discuss certain contradictions that often happen with extreme environmentalism and veganism. (23:00)  They also give examples of where naïveté actually harms the ecosystem. Conservation groups such as "Duck Unlimited" help keep the environment and ecosystem sound. (33:00)    RED MEAT AND NUTRITION  Vinnie and Andrea discuss the problem of vegan parents forcing their developing children onto vegan diets and the horrendous results.  Severe nutritional deficiencies to cases of death have happened. It's an example of when arrogance goes beyond common sense. (41:00) Misinformation is circulating and creating more health issues.   They discuss how the core of the problem is that there is a huge disconnect about where food comes from.  There needs to be an understanding of farming, the necessary nutrition meat provides, and the sustainability it can provide. Meat is fundamental for healthy development.

Keep Moving Forward - Episode 2352

Ted Naiman

Episode 2351 - In this Friday’s episode, Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Ted Naiman back to the show and they discuss the benefits of protein and movement for longevity and more.  PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS          You can watch this episode on Vinnie's Fitness Confidential YOUTUBE channel - THE BENEFITS OF PROTEIN  Dr. Ted Naiman returns to the show - Ted is very fit as he “walks the talk” of what he recommends to his patients. (2:30) Vinnie asks Ted his thoughts on protein and when to best eat it.  They discuss protein absorption and eating windows, and how much the average person needs. Ted recommends what he calls “bookending” and gives an example. Neither recommends one meal a day (OMAD); Vinnie believes that people try to use OMAD as a form of diet trickery. (7:00)   The two discuss protein powders and the differences between various types.  They agree—food should always be first. Powders are only a supplement and shouldn’t replace real meals. BCAAs (brand chain amino acids) are kind of pointless and more expensive. (14:00)   They discuss other proteins for vegans—are they bastardized and inferior? Can they provide enough protein? (15:50) They also discuss HMB supplementation (beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate). (18:20) It’s what your body creates when it breaks down leucine. This leads to a discussion about creatine as well. Vinnie asks Ted if there is any other supplementation that may be necessary. (21:00)  THE IMPORTANCE OF MOVEMENT  Vinnie and Ted discuss resistance training like bodyweight exercises. (26:00)  Jerry Teixeira also shows people how to build muscle by using bodyweight exercises. Ted explains what he does that keeps him as fit as he is.   Vinnie discusses workouts recommended by Fred Hahn and Dr. Ben Bocchicchio, which are one set of weights to failure. (28:00)  You can get a great workout done in under 30 minutes!   They discuss sarcopenia and how necessary it is to offset it by eating high-quality protein and doing weight-bearing exercises. (38:30) Even walking is a good place to start—anything where you actually bear your body’s weight on the ground is good. They talk about how you can progress as a beginner. Sitting all the time is dying—movement is essential for longevity! You can find Dr. Ted Naiman on Instagram and Twitter at @tednaiman and at .
