Summary

Episode 2392- On this Wednesday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Gina Grad talk about questioning Blue Zone theories, playing semantics, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/10/questioning-blue-zones-episode-2392 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 Questioning Blue Zones Gina asks Vinnie to share what he knows about "Blue Zones". (3:00) There's more awareness about "Blue Zones" based on a documentary. However, Vinnie can dispute some of the information in the documentary. Blue Zones are defined as certain regions that claim to have a record of the most longevity per population. The claims tend to advocate for a vegan diet, but Vinnie shares why he challenges the Blue Zone theory. He uses two examples that he is most familiar with: Loma Linda, CA, and the island of Sardinia, Italy. (5:00) They chat about Greece and how Ancel Keys cherry-picked information for his study. (9:45) A recent two-part interview with Dr. Bill Schindler can be found in these two Fitness Confidential episodes: 2384and 2387. There, you will get more details about what is accurate and which parts are questionable about Blue Zones. It is not attributable to just food but to the entire lifestyle. At times, the information given for certain studies is about semantics. (14:45) Speaking of lifestyle, Gina asks Vinnie to recall what he has explained about Roman soldiers and gladiators. (19:00) They also chat about areas like Japan; again, it should be based on the entire lifestyle and culture. Check out Gina's book My Extra Mom. She also co-hosts with Bryan Bishop for @LAmag on the Bryan & Gina Show, which you can find on any podcast platform and YouTube.
