Transcribe →Cancer and Lifestyle with Dr. Thomas Seyfried - Episode 2468
Mar 29, 2024Tap to summarizeEpisode 2468 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Thomas Seyfried and they discuss metabolic dysfunction and therapies, cancer and lifestyle, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/03/cancer-and-lifestyle-with-dr-thomas-seyfried-episode-2468 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Cancer and Lifestyle Vinnie explains why he recommends listening to Dr. Thomas Seyfried. (2:00) Vinnie has been in remission and avoided chemo for 17 years by leading a ketogenic lifestyle. There are all kinds of side effects from chemotherapy, even though it can save people. There have been several theories of disease. (8:00) NCI states that cancer is a genetic disease of dysregulated cell growth, called the somatic mutation theory. Research has shown that damage to organelles causes mutations in cells. The treatment of cancer as a metabolic disease also allows people to participate in the management of their disorder. He explains the importance of oxygen and energy and how it affects the cells. (11:00) This is known as the mitochondrial metabolic theory of cancer. Dr. Seyfried explains some highly interesting experiments and theories. (14:00) Once there is an agreement on the mitochondria metabolic theory, treatment for cancers could be much less toxic and more manageable. (17:00) Cancer and lifestyle have been studied extensively. The idea is to reduce or eliminate the cancer through diet and medication that target the fermentation metabolism. They discuss glutamine and its uses in the body. (22:30) The Glucose Ketone Index What kind of diet and supplementation can help those who may have cancer? (27:30) The Glucose Ketone Index (GKI) calculator and how it works is explained. How the GKI happens can vary per person, but if you can keep the GKI measurement at 2.0 mmol or below, you can put pressure on the tumor cells. (29:00) Each person is their own experiment. Vinnie asks Dr. Seyfried to explain ketone measurements and monitors. (32:30) He explains some of the factors in various genes and what they mean, like in BRCA in women. There may be more options rather than getting radical surgery. They discuss the frustration of some doctor's approaches to other diseases. (40:00) Type 2 diabetes has replaced smoking as the number one risk factor for cancer! (43:15) They discuss the challenges of today's diet and lifestyle. (46:00) Low-cost and convenience foods are taking their toll on society's health. Give people the opportunity to make their own choices. Many doctors need to be re-educated, and people need to know all their options. (50:30) Processed food and glucose are a highly addictive force on the brain. (51:00) Dr. Seyfried is a professor who shares information about and is developing a protocol, which he hopes will be available soon.

Transcribe →Creating A Metabolic Storm with Dr. Ben Bikman - Episode 2405
Nov 3, 2023Tap to summarizeEpisode 2405 - On this Friday'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 Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast 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 and nutrition. (1:02:00) Ben says low-calorie, low-fat is not the answer—your first step should be a low-insulin step. Once you reach a certain goal, you can try intermittent fasting, but then plan properly. Vinnie adds that it is important to stay out of a "diet mentality." Vinnie shares an update to his website that you'll want to check out: a VIP section! Go to vinnietororich.com/VIP for more information. You can find Dr. Ben Bikman on social media @BenBikmanPhD.

Transcribe →Best Of: Sugar Fuels Cancer with Dr. Thomas Seyfried- Episode 2317
Apr 12, 2023Tap to summarizeEpisode 2317 - BEST OF: Today we replay an episode from 2015 when Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Thomas Seyfried from Boston College and they discuss all about how sugar fuels cancer. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/04/best-of-sugar-fuels-cancer-with-dr-thomas-seyfreid-episode-2317/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Villa Cappelli Pure Vitamin Club SUGAR FUELS CANCER After leukemia (and during) people kept telling Vinnie he needed to do certain things. (3:00) Eat macro-diet and micro-diet, juice everything, have wheatgrass, etc. or he would die. He went to his hematologist and asked how much of it was the truth. His incredibly intelligent hematologist simply said, "Stay away from sugar!" Everything is pointing toward sugar as one of the things that cancer loves. Sugar does not cause cancer; cells that make tumors feed on sugar. (4:40) Sugar is a prime fuel, but not the only fuel. Our red blood cells are constantly making a little lactate. Tumor cells have defective mitochondria so they make lots of lactate. Dr. Seyfried explains the mechanisms behind the process and why it's so important to understand. WHAT CAUSES CANCER? Cancer can be caused by a variety of things. (8:20) Some examples are radiation exposure, chemicals in the environment, chronic inflammation, and age. Mutations in genomes that we inherit can be involved. (10:35) People can be predisposed to cancers. Genomes are your set of genes and differences and mutations in them. However, there is a misunderstanding about cancer; the industry has believed that cancer is genetic because tumors have mutations. (11:50) This has caused a lot of misdirection in research and treatment. Dr. Seyfried explains even more of the science of how cancer cells work; cancer is a metabolic disease. (23:30) They also discuss the benefits of ketones and the ketogenic diet. It is highly important to understand the difference between ketosis and ketoacidosis--they are very different things. They discuss therapeutic ketones and whether or not they can help certain brain processing issues like autism. (55:00) You can read more about Dr. Seyfried on Boston College's website. https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/mcas/departments/biology/people/faculty-directory/thomas-seyfried.html Dr. Seyfried recommends the book Tripping Over the Truth, by Travis Christofferson.

(3:00) This leads to Vinnie explaining why he chose to play Louie Prima; it reminded him of entertaining the neighbors and what kinds of foods were involved.

Richard had learned a bit about low carb, but it wasn't until he heard Vinnie on the Mike Rowe podcast that he started incorporating changes. (2:00) They also chat about seed oils and the prevalence of diseases today such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, depression, and autoimmune disorders. (4:30) Cancer and heart disease were the only diseases you ever really heard much about in the 1970s. Richard then describes the multiple medications he was on when starting NSNG®; 5 of them alone were for treating T2 diabetes! He shares what the doctors and nutritionists told him to do as far as diet. He also shares what other progress he has seen since hearing Vinnie on the Mile Rowe podcast. Vinnie suggests that all the "Rowebies" should reach out on social media and let both Mike Rowe and Chuck Klausmeyer know the effect they have had by having Vinnie on their show. (15:15) Richard shares his experience of how frustrating it was to lose weight before even though he was following the established science. (16:20) Was told to eat low fat, and brown rice was ok, etc. He was about to give up on getting healthy altogether. Vinnie and Richard chat about Vinnie's three documentaries (see links below); as a result, Vinnie shares Gary Fettke's story. They also mention John Yudkin and Ancel Keys. Vinnie asks Richard what his current A1c is; as you can guess, it's dramatically different. Richard says NSNG® has been easy compared to all the other things he has tried--and effective!
