(47:00) Diet trickery, tracking calories, etc., can be anxiety-producing. Nora loves the NSNG® approach so far, but struggles to know whether she's getting enough food or even too much. Emphasize "Non-scale victories" instead! (53:00) Continuous Glucose Monitors can help you learn how your body reacts to various foods. (1:00:00) There is such a thing as eating too much of a good thing. (1:04:00) Nora's goal is to be healthy and reduce medicines. She has a question about getting her husband on board.

Episode 2763- Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the adverse effects of GLP-1s, the dangers of muscle loss, and whether more fiber is necessary. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/02/dangers-of-muscle-loss-episode-2763 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 Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Dangers of Muscle Loss Semiglutide update: hate to say "I told ya so..." 4:00) They discuss perpetual motion. (8:00) This relates to GLP-1 in the fact that there is nothing you can do that doesn't cause a consequence somewhere else. (11:30) Vinnie discusses dealing with his second bout of cancer a couple of years ago. He is determined to be as active and healthy as possible. Eating strict NSNG seems to have helped him fight cancer more than if he had not been eating clean. (12:00) If you lose weight the old-fashioned way through proper eating, about 20-25% of your weight loss will be muscle. (16:00) However, that can be offset with exercise, particularly strength training. With GLP-1, a person will lose at least 40% of their muscle mass. (17:00) This matters because a lack of muscle contributes to all-cause mortality, and you can die sooner. Sarcopenia (natural muscle loss) occurs with age, typically starting around age 35, but it can be significantly slowed with strength training. (18:00) The number one drug Vinnie used to get asked about was statins, but now it's about GLP-1s. (21:00) If a person is losing a lot of muscle on GLP-1s, you can bet it's affecting their heart, because the heart is muscle. (25:00) Anna shares some info she's heard recently regarding Dr. Ben Bikman. (27:30) Some Thoughts About Fiber There is also debate about fiber. (36:00) They discuss myths about fiber and whether it is as necessary as others have claimed. Anna shares a story that makes her super happy about her cookbooks. (46:00) Vinnie is trying a week off from eating cheese, but he's wrapping up the week with Anna's Cheese Bites for the Super Bowl. (48:30) They conclude the episode with a discussion of discontinuing GLP-1s. Talk to your doctor for the proper protocol. If you decide to continue GLP-1s, please start strength training to offset muscle loss.

(2:00) Don Coddington has issued a challenge to Vinnie: No Cheese February. (19:00) Vinnie can't quite commit to that stretch of time. Anna recently made an NSNG version of mozzarella sticks. (23:00) They chat about buying beef tallow. (25:00) When buying tallow (or lard), read the label to ensure it is pure and contains no fillers. Anna discusses going dairy-free. (30:00) Her Eat Happy Too cookbook includes many dairy-free recipes or ones that can be modified to be dairy-free. You can purchase it here: https://annavocino.com/eat-happy-too/ Reading labels for food is essential. (36:00) Many products use marketing tactics that are misleading but still fall within legal limits. (38:00) Turn the package over and look at the "Nutrition Facts"; however, those numbers can be tweaked and may misrepresent the packaged food. (39:30) Vinnie and Anna give the breakdown. The truth lies in the actual Ingredients list. Different sweeteners will be listed in a single ingredient list to avoid adding numbers to the Nutrition Facts Panel. (44:00) This practice is not limited to sugar; it also uses seed oils. Anna discusses how product ingredients are measured and scaled up. (51:00) Vinnie will be having a guest who discusses how beef production affects what you get. (55:00) Price can always be a factor, but do the best you can with what you have. (58:00) Anna will attend ExpoWest and report back with trend updates. (59:00) Anna's spices are at all the SoCal Gelson's markets!

Howie started NSNG, and it worked great. (28:00) He had a consult with Vinnie because he felt he had plateaued and even started gaining some weight back. His LDLc skyrocketed, so he has questions and did his own research. Lean Mass Hyper Responders are people whose cholesterol levels respond differently to a low-carb diet. Dave Feldman is leading the research. at Cholesterol Code. He reduced his food intake and made minor adjustments, and his weight began to drop again.

(2:30) Get Vinnie's e-book because it's a good reminder of getting back on track if you went off the rails during the holidays, or, of course, if you are new to NSNG®. (6:00) You can purchase the NSNG® E-book for a small fee at https://nsng.vinnietortorich.com/product/intro-to-nsng/ What meats can you eat? What are the possibilities? (12:30) It's not required that you eat grass-fed or organic meats—eat what you can afford. Many times, you can find a local small farmer and buy a portion of beef or pork at a discount. What about processed meats like bacon, salami, and cold cuts? (18:00) How bacon is cured makes a difference. (19:00) Cold cuts can be acceptable on occasion, but they often have additives. Eggs are a fantastic food—completely nutrient-dense! (26:00) Good, real, whole milk cheeses, kefir, and full-fat Greek yogurt are all great choices. Don't be afraid of real heavy cream. Try to find one without any additives, if possible. Vinnie emphasizes that you can't eat *anything* with impunity, meaning you can't go rogue and overeat, even if you're eating healthy options. (20:00) Moving on to vegetables and fruits. (32:30) Leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables are your best bet. Onions and peppers are great, too. Enjoy savory fruits like avocado, tomatoes, and olives, but they also discuss citrus, berries, and eating fruit in season. (35:00) Nuts: High-fat nuts like pili and macadamia are the best; however, you can enjoy some others, but be careful—it doesn't take many to overdo them. (46:00) If you are trying to be vegan on NSNG, beans are a better source of nutrients than grains. If you are a vegetarian, eating eggs, cheese, and nuts is recommended to boost your protein intake. The Sweet Stuff They chat about "sweet treats." (53:00) Reducing your intake of sweet treats will change your taste buds for the better. Anna explains the intention behind including sweet treats in her cookbooks. They are meant to be just that—a treat for an occasion! Stay away from "grain-free" chips! They are made from ingredients like cassava and other root flours, which are very high in carbs.

Episode 2750 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer help start your fitness plan with the benefits of cardio vs. strength training and where you should begin. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/01/cardio-vs-strength-training-episode-2750 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 Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK workout videos Cardio vs. Strength Training Where does a beginner start? (5:00) Just start with what you know you can do. If you are sedentary, start with a short walk and gradually increase it each time. Your aerobic vs anaerobic capacity is different things. (9:00) Vinnie gives a list of the variety of things that qualify as each. There are different benefits to cardio and strength training. (17:00) What is recommended? Picking one focus and sticking to it (for example, cardio), or finding a balance between cardio *and* strength training to start? (22:00) Vinnie shares his brother Mark's journey. (23:00) Sometimes, you really do have to start with "baby steps" and grow into the routine. Vinnie likes to consider Zone 2 (70-80% of your cardiac capacity) as cardio; however, if someone is starting, any walk will help them get started. (36:00) In strength training, it can be intoxicating to feel yourself get stronger. (39:00) You will feel the strength before you start seeing visible gains. (43:00) The Zones Vinnie describes the Five Zones; however, you only need to pay attention to four of them. (47:30) The calculation to find Zone 2 (with the Maffetone method) is: 180 - (your age) = desired heart rate, or beats per minute. If you are already active, you can add about five more points to the desired heart rate. Before starting any exercise program, it is highly recommended that you see your doctor first and have a stress test. If you are eating correctly, such as with NSNG®, exercise will help build lean muscle mass. (59:00) More is not always better; sometimes, more recovery is better. (1:01:00) Vinnie recommends 4 or 5 hours a week for cardio, unless you are training for a marathon or similar competition.

(3:30) Vic bought a couple of Jaspr air scrubbers and is loving them. Vic has been a guest on a previous call-in show. He has a question about home scales that claim to measure BMI and body composition. (11:50) Vinnie gives him a mission to get a DEXA scan to compare the results with his Hume scale at home.

(2:00) She discovered Vinnie through the Mike Rowe podcast. She's lost 25 lbs on NSNG® and loves the lifestyle. Drew is the next caller. (22:00) He initially lost weight for his wedding by following a traditional CICO diet. He switched to NSNG® after hearing Vinnie on Adam Carolla. His energy is excellent now, and he has lost weight on NSNG®, and his health is better. Drew used to spend money on all kinds of diet gimmicks; however, NSNG® has been the only one that works and makes him feel great. (30:00) It's also easier to keep the weight off with this lifestyle. Joshua is next on the show. (40:45) They chat about gaming chairs and how long people are sitting all day. Joshua shares his health backstory of trying to lose weight. (46:00) He heard Vinnie on Adam Carolla, but thought NSNG® sounded a bit overwhelming. He would rely on keto products and allow himself "cheat meals" that would always turn into "cheat day" or even a "cheat weekend." His eating behaviors were leaning towards disordered eating. He also didn't feel or look healthy. Joshua ended up in the hospital for a marijuana-induced psychosis. (49:00) He has been both marijuana and alcohol-free for five years now. (5:00) During the process, he figured out he had an addictive personality. He was able to pivot his mindset, tried NSNG®, and hasn't looked back. (53:30) He's been losing weight with NSNG® and has lost approximately 50 pounds so far. He's found a lot of clarity and purpose in redirecting his focus and lifestyle.

(15:00) He uses several protocols in addition to NSNG®; however, Vinnie has some questions and suggestions for Lee. (21:00) He has lost and gained significant weight several times, and it's affecting his health. Vinnie is trying to get Lee to stumble less. Lee needs to stop trying to game the system. Lee also started lifting to strengthen his knees. He realized his sore knees were probably less about arthritis and more about lack of strength. Shelly joins the call. (46:00) She gives Vinnie an update on her health metrics. A DEXA scan is the best way to detect body composition (bone density, muscle growth, and body fat percentage).

(19:00) Ty's question: Summarize for newcomers to NSNG, the easiest first step one can take when starting. Anna: Start with your favorite proteins and build around that.

(29:00) Second call-in guest is Trish: Trish has been NSNG off and on for years. She is struggling to get back into it mentally. They discuss various reasons.

Episode 2729 - Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Amy Gutman to discuss doctor-patient dynamics, the need to trust and verify, and her book, "Powerhouse Living." https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/11/trust-and-verify-dr-amy-gutman-episode-2729 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 Trust and Verify During her medical career, Dr. Gutman came to realize that some of the things she had been taught were based on incorrect science. (6:00) She is an Emergency doctor, and has been since 2002. She was also trying to get her parents to be healthier; however, they have a hard time adjusting to improved and updated information. Vinnie has had a similar issue with his parents, particularly his mother. Due to a medical problem, he was caring for his Mom, and that's when he helped his parents implement changes. (12:00) There are ways to eat healthily on a fixed income. (16:00) Dr. Amy shares her experience getting her mother the correct medical help. (22:30) The discussion turns to the oft-misused term "doctor," referring to people who use it without an MD or PhD in medicine. (30:00) There is a challenge working with most Registered Dieticians as well. (40:00) Dr. Amy speaks about her challenges in convincing her parents to continue the healthy plan she set up for them. (43:00) Many people often say they will "do anything" to get fit and healthy, except for doing the actual things that get you fit and healthy. Marketing of products and medications can be misleading, too. (55:00) Vinnie's wife, Serena, is 64 years old and very fit. NSNG agrees with her! (1:05:00) Healthy foods increase your vitality! Foods like ghee help build "sexy" hormones. (1:10:00) Powerhouse Living Dr. Amy Gutman's book, "Powerhouse Living: Lead Your Life Like a Resuscitation," is about people changing their lives, both in body and mind. (1:13:00) You can find her book on Amazon and other booksellers. And in Vinnie's book club https://amzn.to/4r45gU2 It contains real-life examples of people who transformed their lives.

Episode 2724 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss HRT in women, prepping for Thanksgiving, and getting started with new habits. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/11/prepping-for-thanksgiving-episode-2724 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Prepping for Thanksgiving Vinnie shares a story about finding a great deal on a winter coat. (3:00) A recent photo of Serena Vinnie posted on Instagram created quite a stir. (8:30) There was a lot of pushback in the comments, but Serena clarified. She has been able to manage various symptoms of menopause by following NSNG. Vinnie shares Serena's response. (17:00) Each woman's experience will be different based on their medical history. (20:00) Anna always gets compliments on her skin, but she credits not eating sugar or processed foods, which are non-negotiable for her lifestyle and health. (21:00) Thanksgiving plans are upon us. (28:00) They share advice on navigating Thanksgiving, especially when it comes to foods that may trigger you. Anna has updated her Thanksgiving PDF and added some recipes so you can make a fantastic NSNG-friendly holiday meal. You can find it here: https://eathappykitchen.com/products/eat-happy-for-the-holidays-cookbook-pdf. There is a small fee for the complete PDF, but you can also find her recipes individually for free on her website. If you decide to splurge during the holidays, just be prepared for the fallout and get back on track as soon as you can. Do some planning ahead of time, and "don't go stupid," so it will be easier to get back on track. The cost of plain meat patties from a drive-thru for a quick meal was still pricey. (38:00) Back to Anna's Holiday PDF: there are so many options, and you get great food options! (41:00) They share some lovely recipe ideas. Right Here, Right Now Mark, Vinnie's brother, is a surprise guest on today's episode. (53:00) He's been exercising more, getting outside more, and is feeling the improvements. Mark shares his experience joining a wellness center near his home and buying his gym clothing. (57:00) He found some bargains and is now heading to the gym!

Episode 2723 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss adding protein to processed foods, GLP-1s, and how it's all "lipstick on a pig." https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/11/lipstick-on-a-pig-episode-2723 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 Lipstick On A Pig Vinnie and Chris have been working hard on manufacturing challenges. (3:00) There is a change in marketing around diet. (10:00) Pop-Tarts is claiming it has a high-protein version. They review the ingredients list. (15:30) It's essential to develop the persistence to achieve the success you want. (24:00) Other junk foods, such as Doritos, add protein. But don't be fooled! Adding protein to crappy food doesn't make the crappy food "healthy." (25:00) It's just putting "lipstick on a pig"! Metabolic damage can be seen in just a few short weeks when eating ultra-processed foods. (26:30) Chris discusses a study on weight gain from consuming ultra-processed foods. (27:00) Even if a brand you have used before has clean ingredients, you need to be vigilant and keep checking the ingredients, since companies will often add things that aren't good, such as seed oils. (33:00) California has claimed it will be ridding school lunches of junk food, but it is spreading the goal out over several years. (38:00) There Are Choices GLP-1s are now available as oral medication, but do they cause the same effect as the injectable ones? (49:30) The same dose is marketed as "similar." (51:00) People who have followed and stuck to NSNG have gotten off multiple medications. Personally, Vinnie stays away from certain meds, including hormones, because he wants to avoid a recurring cancer. (53:00) There are often a lot of things you can do before you turn to meds in many cases. (55:00) Proper nutrition, exercise (especially weight training), and things like vitamin D and magnesium help! Vinnie gives an example of how he has naturally improved his testosterone levels. You have to actually push yourself beyond a certain comfort level to see and feel a difference. (1:02:30) Sarcopenia happens to everyone, but you can absolutely fight it.

April 6, 2017 - Adam and Drew open the show discussing Adam's goal to strive for an NSNG diet and the obstacles he faces in his own home that make that harder than it should be. They also take some phone calls from listeners before welcoming in our guests Vinnie Tortorich & Anna Vocino. They discuss Anna's cookbook ‘Eat Happy' and the idea of the NSNG lifestyle before Vinnie starts asking questions about Lynette's progress since they last met.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 2715 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss people "eating through the GLP-1", allowing your body to function properly, and misleading labels. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/10/allowing-your-body-to-function-episode-2715 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Allowing Your Body to Function The podcast platform is inserting ads for GLP-1s into his show. (3:00) He can't necessarily control what ads are placed. Vinnie doesn't advocate for the use of GLP-1s because he feels the side effects aren't worth it, especially since weight loss can be done naturally. Another problem is that some people “eat through the GLP-1." There is a tendency to overeat or continue to eat junk foods because they think the GLP-1 will offset the poor eating habits. Changing your lifestyle is a journey that may have challenges; however, a low-carb approach is the most effective because it allows your endocrine system to function as it was designed. (13:00) People ask what they can eat without impunity. (18:00) The answer is NOTHING. People often add things that they don't necessarily need; bulletproof coffee, for example. Certain foods affect hormones like leptin and ghrelin. (30:00) Once you stick to NSNG for 30 to 60 days, you can start to feel differences and develop the habits. (33:00) Misleading Labels Anna reads some ranch dressing labels. (36:00) The ingredient list is mayhem and misleading. By comparison, some of the ingredients are illegal in other countries and have also been known to cause cancer, such as titanium dioxide. Anna will be posting videos giving a rundown of other labels on her Instagram and TikTok, @annavocino. Anna is learning to make her own Greek yogurt, and it is amazing!

Have you ever wondered why nutrition seems so complicated, with constantly changing dietary advice, making it hard to know what's truly healthy? I speak with Vinnie Tortorich, a celebrity trainer and author, about cutting through nutrition noise. We discuss how the food industry feeds people untruths, shaping the obesity and chronic disease epidemic. Vinnie, who created the No Sugar, No Grains movement (NSNG), explains that celebrities achieve results through high levels of dedication. We explore why people must sacrifice for goals and how success requires facing failure and maintaining perseverance. Vinnie reviews historical dietary shifts, noting that grains are fattening. He shares how following NSNG supported his 17-year remission from leukemia, a period surpassing medical records. I believe you will find Vinnie's perspective very helpful. Key Takeaways The confusion around nutrition is not accidental; the food industry has been feeding people untruths for decades, contributing to the obesity and chronic disease epidemic. Celebrities achieve impressive transformations due to their "Type A plus plus personalities," meaning they possess the extreme mental capacity and commitment necessary to follow strict plans, such as only eating red meat, fish, chicken, and eggs. Success, both in fitness and in life, is built on the back of failures, a concept Vinnie Tortorich refers to as the Failure Quotient (FQ), which is the number of times one can fail and successfully recover. The NSNG philosophy arose from Vinnie's observation, contrary to prevailing 1980s nutritional wisdom, that grains (complex carbohydrates) contribute to fat storage; his Italian great-grandmother also understood that eating too much grain makes you fat. Following the no sugar, no grains diet dramatically impacted Vinnie's 2007 battle with leukemia, helping him achieve 17 years without needing chemotherapy—a time period significantly longer than the typical prognosis for his form of cancer, making him the person with the longest record. Political and corporate changes in food standards move at a glacial pace, but starting small—such as changing views on saturated fat and removing seed oils—is necessary to eventually alter public health outcomes.

(2:00) Anna just got back from two weeks of traveling in Europe. (12:00) She shares some details about the food and wine tour, champagne, and other lovely details. (14:00) Staying gluten-free and NSNG® was mildly challenging, but not impossible. (23:00) She shares how she managed her food while traveling. She also noticed that she never really saw an obese person while there. (37:00) With all the travel and all the food, show only gained 2 pounds. One thing she did notice was that food servers would say, “No, that's too much food.” She explains the story. (39:00) Our country needs to get back to eating more natural foods and fewer processed foods. Vinnie is going to a tropical island soon, and he plans to finally try a piña colada.

Episode 2710 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss failing, getting back up, having"life into living" moments, what happens after, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/10/what-happens-after-episode-2710 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - What Happens After Vinnie has failed multiple times, but he fights back and keeps getting up. (4:00) It's not how many times you fall, but how many times you get up. Vinnie explains how that philosophy extends to health and weight loss. (12:00) You only really fail when you stop getting up. (15:00) It's not an issue to have some true Life Into Living, but what happens after. You have to get back into NSNG®immediately. NSNG® is less about restriction and more about the fact that it is often easier to avoid certain foods in the first place than to constantly have to “get back on the wagon.” What you choose to LIL on should absolutely be special. It's not “let's grab a whole pizza” frequently. (20:00) Wing Stop appears to have added sugar to French fries! (28:00) Previously mentioned in episode 2707 were the Power Zone (glutes, hamstrings), Posture Zone (back), and Stability Zone (obliques). (30:00) The two remaining Zones are the Mobility Zone (overhead press and face pulls) and the Grip Zone. (42:30) Push-ups are the most overlooked exercise that is beneficial.

Episode 2709 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss addiction and taking things too far in certain diets, and answer some common NSNG® questions. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/10/taking-it-too-far-episode-2709 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Taking It Too Far This episode was recorded on 9/11, the 24th anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center. (2:00) It's hard to believe how much time has gone by. Setting quantifiable goals is a huge help. It allows you to reassess as you progress. (4:00) The better bet is to challenge yourself to grow and progress. NSNG® 101 Part 2, but first, a little bit about the Charlie Sheen documentary, currently on Netflix, called aka Charlie Sheen. (6:30) Addiction is a constant challenge for some people. Medically guided psychedelics are an emerging modality for people to use for various issues. (19:00) Anna shares an article about a man who had cholesterol leaking out of his skin. (26:00) A man is following a carnivore diet and consuming extremely high amounts of fat—pounds of fat every day. He developed xanthelasma, a condition where cholesterol accumulates and develops yellow growths under the skin. Vinnie feels the article is a hit piece. The authors took an anomaly and made it a “hit piece." NSNG® 101: Some Common Questions They discuss not needing to track macros. (35:00) Lose the obsession with food! Tracking can be beneficial as a stopgap measure to assess where you're at. (39:00) White potatoes vs. sweet potatoes. (42:00) The glycemic index is a factor. If you are going to enjoy a small portion of sweet potato, boiling it is best. Nuts and nut butters are good, but can be overdone, so be careful. (49:00) In terms of fat and carb content, pili nuts and macadamia nuts are the best. Pecans and walnuts are next, but get plain raw ones, as roasted ones are often in seed oils. (54:00) Almonds are good, but cashews and pistachios are higher in carbs. You'll be able to join the NSNG® VIP group when it reopens soon! If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, register here!

Eric is looking forward to Vinnie's workout videos that will be released in the NSNG® VIP group. They discuss issues Eric has had dealing with cholesterol and his doctor. (30:00) The ratio between HDL and Triglycerides is a better indicator of heart health. Carbohydrates really don't help you build muscle; 5g of creatine is better. (43:00) Some sports or competitions can be fueled with a small sugar trickle because blood glycogen gets used up so quickly. Examples would be kickboxing or boxing. Family Pushback Scott is the next guest. He has lost 325 pounds after starting NSNG® after hearing Vinnie on Mike Rowe's podcast. Why does it take people to be told they have one foot in the grave before it sparks change? (48:00) Scott's wife has lost over 100 pounds, and his son has lost 90 pounds! Scott has reversed COPD and congestive heart failure symptoms. (55:00) Hobbies are important to help your mind explore. (1:01:00) Scott has had family blowback about his new healthy lifestyle. A family member reported him to Adult Protective Services! (1:04:00) He had to go through three months of investigation. The accusation was abuse because of the change in eating and daily walks. Scott's wife has lowered her A1C and gotten off of insulin. (1:11:00) Vinnie shares a story about an NSNG® follower named Robert Stanton.

(44:30) He shares his health background and how he discovered Vinnie. Severe sleep apnea was depriving him of proper oxygen levels, and his doctor put him on a CPAP machine.

Episode 2700 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss reversing symptoms of disease. Anna is cooking and reminds you, "Don't miss it, Make it!" https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/09/dont-miss-it-make-it-episode-2700 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Don't Miss It, Make it! Anna's going to be cooking NSNG®-friendly chicken parmesan in this episode and and you can view YouTube She is also making her Marinated Chicken Thighs and a Cheesy Broccoli side dish! Anna's recipes are available in her cookbooks, which are available on Amazon, as well as her Substack (blog). You don't have to miss your favorite foods. So don't miss it, make it! Vinnie just had a consultation with a caller who told him why she decided to try Vinnie's advice. (3:00) Many people are surprised by how much better they feel once the inflammation has subsided. For example, following NSNG® can often help alleviate heartburn, and foods like tomatoes can be reintroduced. (5:00) Anna is cooking up some chicken today and marinating it. (10:00) Acid (like lemon juice), olive oil, and seasoning are all you need for a marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes; however, several hours is best to get the flavors to infuse. Internal temperature of the chicken should be (near the bone) between 165-180 degrees F when finished. Oven temperature for cooking chicken should be 350-400 degrees F. Pork rinds can be used as a coating or "breading" for the chicken. Next, Anna whips up some cheesy broccoli. (41:00) This demo shows how easy it can be to create two main dishes and some sides within minutes. (48:00) You'll be able to join the NSNG® VIP group when it reopens soon!

Episode 2682 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss generations and trends in aging, what to do in addressing a plateau, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/08/addressing-a-plateau-episode-2682 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Trends in Aging After reminiscing about awkward things from the 1970s, they discuss healthy aging. (10:00) An article from a British newspaper discusses the difference in the rate of aging between generations. (18:00) Cutting out sugar can help you age better. (22:00) The mindset is improving about the idea of healthy aging. There are always things you can do to improve your health span. (22:00) Addressing a Plateau One of the most frequently asked questions Vinnie gets is about weight loss plateaus. (33:00) People will often loosen the reins a bit, but then struggle to return fully to NSNG®. For example, go ahead and have a bit of “life into living” when you travel; however, you need to be able to get back to NSNG® immediately, or you will reverse your progress. (34:00) The COVID years are no longer an excuse. It's been 5 years—snap out of it! (35:00) A true plateau means you are not losing weight or gaining weight. As long as you are not gaining, you should be okay. (36:15) Intermittent Fasting is being used as a weight loss hack, but many people overdo it and become undernourished. (39:15) There is a difference between using an eating window for the benefits of autophagy and going overboard and not fueling your body. For some people, overdoing the fasting can cause a rebound in weight. Don't try to serve too many kings—just stick to NSNG®, and your body will level out. What are some things you can do if you have hit a legitimate plateau? (43:00) There are some prominent carnivores in the health and fitness space that have reintroduced some carbs from fruit. (45:00) Be honest with yourself when you are analyzing what you eat and your goals. Vinnie's mother, Marie, joins the show on the phone. (49:30) Anna's sauces are in several stores.

(27:00) She discusses getting an advanced lipid panel. She has discussed it before on the podcast, but she has recently gotten some prickly comments from followers. (31:00) She is genetically predisposed to some things, and NSNG® keeps her at a great baseline. (33:00) So many people want a magic pill that they forget that there is nuance to addressing individual health needs. (33:30) You need to work with what you have. A person's lifestyle and genetic history can significantly impact how well something works; consequently, it may take a long time for the body to heal. (35:00) You cannot overeat anything without some measure of impunity. Your body naturally changes as you age; as a result, you may have to make adjustments as you progress. (38:00) The President's Physical Fitness Testing for kids is being reinstated in schools. (44:00) It had been removed due to a variety of reasons. Vinnie is very excited and has been wanting this for years. The fitness of our kids is important! Anna has been working tirelessly to make Eat Happy Kitchen products more accessible and in stores.
