(4:00) The mind can play tricks on you, and you don't always realize how the weight creeps up. He tried several ways of losing weight, and had some success, but the weight would always return. He enjoyed running; however, he hit a point where he could no longer do it due to damage to his hip. Finally, he got a hip replacement, but was told he wouldn't run again. (23:00) Tim went into a deep depression and felt like a shell of himself. Stress from work took a toll, and he started gaining weight again. (32:00) He made changes and described having an epiphany of how he could move forward. Tim has lost 115 pounds since starting again, and his wife has lost 70 pounds. Words of Wisdom: (43:00) Firstly, if you are depressed, get help from a counselor, doctor, pastor, etc. Tim has learned to speak up when he is struggling instead of "eating his feelings."

Episode 2689 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss how things are moving in a better direction with Gen Z, animal protein, the reduction of alcohol use, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/08/moving-in-a-better-direction-episode-2689 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Moving In A Better Direction Gen Z appears to be the generation that is pushing back against fake meat. (4:00) Many vegan restaurants are adding back meat; the demand for meat is still there. The theories are widespread; however, it all boils down to wanting both real animal protein and fruits and veggies. (13:00) Vinnie has nothing against vegans; he is simply for better health, which includes various animal proteins. There is a “reverse-engineered” process to make cheese. A genetically modified strain of E. coli is used to produce casein from scratch, enabling the creation of vegan cheese. (27:00) Blue Zones are areas that predominantly eat fresh, whole foods—yes, even meat; however, that part is often not discussed. (34:00) COVID news: There's been a backlash against alcohol based on overuse during the lockdown years. (39:00) There's a downward trend in alcohol consumption. Side note: Vinnie might get his first piña colada on a long-delayed vacation. The VIP group will reopen soon.  It's another tool you can use to meet your goals. Workouts will be added soon!

Episode 2687 - Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Laura Buchanan to discuss fears behind the Women's Health Initiative and the many benefits of hormone therapy. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/08/benefits-hormone-therapy-episode-2687 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - The Benefits of Hormone Therapy Lifestyle changes can significantly reduce the number of medications a person needs to take. (2:30) The number of drugs that are being prescribed keeps increasing; however, how much and for how long can the body take multiple medications without further debilitating the body? (7:00) Vinnie has questions about hormones. (14:00) The Women's Health Initiative announcement was based on incorrect information and a flawed study. The downside is that fear still surrounds it many decades later, so women have been denied treatment options. Dr. Buchanan explains how the study was done and the flaws within it. Hormone Therapy can be so impactful for a woman's life. (28:30) There are many options available today for estrogen, progesterone, and, if necessary, testosterone. Treatment can increase quality of life. Both transdermal and vaginal estrogen can be highly effective for all kinds of symptoms. (34:00) Vinnie asks about DHEA. (41:00) DHEA is more complicated because it's the precursor to the other hormones. Bioidentical hormones are regulated appropriately by the FDA. Testosterone does not appear to increase prostate cancer risk. However, if you are on treatment for metastatic prostate cancer, it should not be taken. (54:00) Systemic estrogen (as in patches) is approved for bone loss prevention. (57:00) It also helps decrease cardiovascular risk, anxiety and depression, dementia, diabetes, and many other health issues. The closer you start it to menopause, the more helpful it is.

Honor the fact that you are alive by taking your health into your own hands. (20:00) They discuss the origin of Gatorade. (25:00) It's morphed over the years and changed formulations, and not always in great ways. The Presidential Physical Fitness test is returning to schools. (41:30) They discuss one of the reasons it was stopped, which was to reduce competition. It's also an opportunity for kids to train for hard things, build resilience, and build character.

Episode 2685 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the abuse of weight loss drugs, understanding sugar in your body, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/08/understanding-sugar-episode-2685 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Abusing Weight Loss Drugs Vinnie has been travelling lately on a long road trip. (2:00) They discuss how they pack snacks for a road trip. There is some concerning behavior surrounding the use of Mounjaro. (9:30) Rather than eating healthy, people still want to eat poorly, but ramp up the usage of the drug. There is an emotional component behind overeating. (12:30) Understanding Sugar Why is sugar so bad? (21:45) They discuss macros and how much sugar your body needs at any one time. (23:00) If you don't load your body with carbs, then your body will burn fat, which is a good thing. The amount of sugar you need varies depending on your activity. (25:00) For example, a boxer in the ring will burn through sugar very fast. However, there are many activities where your body can produce what it needs with gluconeogenesis. Any extra sugar is stored as fat, or long-chain triglycerides. According to a recent interview Vinnie had with Dr. Tro, it's not uncommon for people to be on 19 medications. (29:00) The national average is 8 drugs. Vinnie explains complex carbs and the myth that claims they are better for you. (33:00) A glycogen load is bad because it causes your body to continually release insulin. Grains are starches, and starches are sugar. However, don't become carb-phobic. That's where Vinnie's rule of Life Into Living (LIL) comes in. (37:00) If you are in Italy, have the gelato: meaning on a truly special, limited occasion, enjoy yourself. Just don't let LIL become frequent or rampant. They chat about travelling and Chamonix. (40:00) Eat Happy Kitchen is for everyone, and several of the sauces are vegan.

Episode 2684- Vinnie Tortorich welcomes "rogue" dietitian Shannon Davis, and they discuss hitting the tipping point, PE in schools, and weight loss drugs. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/08/the-tipping-point-with-Shannon-Davis-episode-2684 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - The Tipping Point Shannon Davis is a registered dietitian, but she describes herself as a “rogue” dietitian. (1:30) She has worked in organ transplant centers. Fatty liver disease is a carbohydrate or sugar problem, but patients were never taught that. Patients had always been told it was a problem with fat, protein, or fried foods. Dietitians need to be reflective and question the information they are recommending. (3:30) As a pharmaceutical rep, she realized she was peddling meds and not helping, and she hit her tipping point. (5:00) She discovered the low-carb and ketogenic health space, and now she feels she has found her purpose in teaching a healthy lifestyle. They discuss misinformation regarding carbs and “complex carbs.” (14:00) Shannon reviews her medical education and what she was advised to teach diabetics about carbs. (15:00) Besides interventions in dietary guidelines and metabolic health, The Presidential Physical Fitness Test for students should be required in schools again. (33:00) Kids have become sedentary, and they become adults who sit in cubicles. (42:00) The amount of medications prescribed for metabolic health is skyrocketing. (45:00) Weight Loss Medications Shannon is not opposed to medications; however, she firmly believes there is a place for them when truly necessary. (49:00) However, GLP-1s are overprescribed without a full understanding of their side effects, and oftentimes for minor weight loss. For example, hyperplasia: fat cells get smaller, but they multiply. This means that when you get off the drug, you will gain fat back, and in larger amounts. Side effects are loss of muscle and bone, digestive paralysis, optic nerve damage, erectile dysfunction, suppressed autophagy, and much more. There are natural ways to boost your own body's GLP-1.

Episode 2683 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss advertising, the Beyond Meat rebranding, and how a better diet means better results, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/08/better-diet-means-better-results-episode-2683 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - A Better Diet Means Better Results The Billy Joel documentary is super-engaging. (2:00) It's on HBO Max, and you must have an HBO Max account if you want to view it on Amazon. The documentary is in two parts and is called “Billy Joel: And So It Goes.” Vinnie addresses the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle jeans ad. (10:45) The outcry on social media appears to be unfounded. Beyond Meat has made a branding change and has shortened its name to just “Beyond.” (29:00) Vinnie's documentary “Beyond Impossible” addresses issues with fake meat. They discuss other fake foods and ingredients, including JUST “eggs.” (32:15) The FDA allows marketing on labels to include misinformation. Proteins from things like legumes are not equal to the complete amino acids and ratios of animal protein. (38:00) They review the “new and improved” recipe by Beyond. (40:00) Pure Coffee Club has a fun announcement. (42:00) Vinnie understands what it means to be overweight, eat cheap foods, and have a sugar addiction. (48:30) There's a revelation about changes to some brands of canned tuna. (52:00) They discuss an article in Sports Illustrated that states that exercise helps with weight loss. There needs to be clarification: weight loss doesn't happen unless you're eating the proper diet. (55:00) Eating the proper ratio of fat and protein will magnify weight loss. Exercise alone while eating a ton of carbs will not help your body burn fat for weight loss. The article was trying to emphasize that if you are on a diet, the more you exercise, the less muscle you lose, which helps your metabolism. (58:15) A better diet means better results. In the 1950s, people were often leaner because we were a less sedentary society. (1:00:00) More News If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, it will be reopening 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.

Anna Vocino Returns!Take a walk with me down Fascination Street, as I get to know even more about Anna Vocino. Anna's first appearance on the show was released on 6.13.22. I recomend going back and checking that one out, as it was A BLAST! This time around, we discuss some different stuff. We kick the show off talking about her first experience on a film set. Anna was in the classic film Dead Poets Society, where she got to hang out with the late, great Robin Williams. We then transition into her work on another Robin Williams project, this time for television. The Crazy Ones was one of Robin's last projects, so naturally I ask her about working on that with him. Anna and I then talk about a series she worked on called Free Radio, and she tells some great stories from that set as well. Then we move onto the subject of her health. Anna has some fairly unique immune related issues that she deals with on a daily basis. She is fine, but does navigate some challenges, and she is very open about dealing with those. Of course, we discuss her working with the wonderful Vinnie Tortorich and theie podcast Fitness Confidential, before we dive into her Eat Happy empire! Anna has released 3 cookbooks (a fourth to be released in October of 2026), and an ever growing product line! Eat Happy Kitchen currently offers: 4 pasta sauces (marinara, arrabbiata, puttanesca, pink crema), and 1 seasonal pasta sauce (pumpkin marinara), as well as 4 spice mixes (BBQ Dust, Taco Seasoning, Dill Ranch Seasoning, Salt / Onion Dust), and now offering 3 flavors of Crispy Crunchy Cheese Bites (Cheddar & BBQ, White Cheddar & Onion, Monterey Jack & Onion). We talk about all of these products, and where to find them. They are all available at EatHappyKitchen.com, as well as myriad grocery stores nation wide. Anna shares some behind the scenes stories about what it takes to get a product on the shelf at your local grocery store. As always, no matter what we are talking about; Anna brings the funny! Oh, and pay special attention because we decide to offer a special deal to all of the listeners! 

Episode 2681- Vinnie Tortorich welcomes dietitian Michelle Hurn, and they discuss disrupting Big Food, lobbying for truth, and the downsides of shortcuts. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/08/downsides-of-shortcuts-michelle-hurn-episode-2681 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Lobbying for Truth Michelle Hurn has been a Registered Dietitian for years, but she challenges the current nutrition guidelines. (2:00) Early nutrition guidelines were established by Seventh-day Adventists to eliminate the eating of meat. The facts are lined up and vetted in FAT: a documentary. (6:30) Vinnie curates knowledge of other experts on his show. (11:30) Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has caused some disruption to the messaging; however, as long as Big Pharma and Big Food are allowed to lobby, there won't likely be much change. Lobbying affects both sides of the aisle, and changes have not been made. (18:00) It's part of what has been driving the decrease in metabolic health of our society. (20:00) Being a registered dietician is a challenge; positions in hospitals and schools pay less than half of what Big Food will pay. (22:00) Vinnie shares the story (and misconception) behind “fat burns in the flames of carbohydrates.” (28:00) Michelle shares her story of how she discovered what she had learned was wrong. (34:00) Her health had deteriorated, and she became very ill. It was when she learned about low-carb that she regained her health. Vinnie shares how he figured out how to fuel himself with fat for his ultra races. (40:00) Michelle is a marathon runner and made discoveries of her own, including high-fat/low-carb to fuel her body. (45:00) The Downsides of Shortcuts GLP-1s are all the rage, but nothing in biochemistry is free of consequences. (51:00) You can't affect any one issue in isolation. There are downsides to shortcuts. The side effects are a serious concern. Suppressing ghrelin can suppress hunger, but that means it also suppresses autophagy, which is your body's way of cleaning toxins from its cells. (52:00) They discuss other implications associated with GLP-1s, like loss of muscle tissue. Michelle and Vinnie have both helped numerous people just through the low-carb lifestyle approach alone. (57:00) Those changes alone have gotten people off certain medications and reversed diabetes. You can follow Michelle on Instagram and her website If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, Vinnie plans to open it again soon!

Episode 2680 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss Parkinson's disease, purpose, the marketing of sugar, and making the most of your time. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/08/making-the-most-of-your-time-episode-2680 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Making the Most of Your Time Vinnie had a long-term relationship with a woman who struggled with Parkinson's disease. (2:00) He also shares a story about Ozzy Osbourne, who was always very considerate. (5:00) Parkinson's has its challenges that appear to be less influenced by lifestyle. It can be early-onset and be diagnosed as early as age 35. This launches a conversation about leaving a legacy. (15:20) Vinnie's main interest has been to help people with their health. Coke made a big announcement that they are bringing “real sugar Coke” back into the U.S. (29:00) This is not a better option—it's still filled with sugar! Fruit juices are nothing but sugar. (36:00) Chris shares some trivia about the marketing of Coke, Pepsi, and Russia. (44:00) Phone screen diet update. (45:00) A study shows that kids who had cell phones or iPads before age 13 had more mental health challenges. (46:00) Has Vinnie noticed changes in himself or how he feels since using his phone only for work purposes? What goes into your body, both physically and mentally, affects what comes out. (48:00) Be wise in the use of your time! It's not true that technology always gives you more time. (52:00) A lot of technology just makes you lazy and lose health and mindfulness. (55:00) Do something useful and with purpose! For example, make dinner at home and have it be a part of family time—connection matters. Part of the success of Blue Zones is less about diet and more about community and basic human connection. (57:00) A lot of stuff is coming up with Vinnie in August, so keep an ear open!

Episode 2679 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss goals while aging, working with what you have, NSNG® as a baseline, and fitness in schools. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/08/working-with-what-you-have-episode-2679 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Working With What You Have Vinnie discusses his acquaintance Joe, who began following NSNG®. (6:00) Joe has lost approximately 100 lbs over the past year! Vinnie's recent goal has been prioritizing strength training over aerobics. (12:00) If you're older, it's never too late; it's even more important to get moving! Anna always works with her doctor on multiple regular blood tests. (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. There is always some level of obstacle, but she's feisty and doesn't give up. More News If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, register here!

(13:00) Laura shares how she fits in her Ultra training and how she even got into marathons and Ultras. (21:30) Athletics have come a long way, especially with women's advancement. (28:00) Badwater is one of the most grueling races on the planet. (32:00) Despite its difficulty, Laura loved the challenge and experience of it! She has participated for 4 years in a row. Vinnie shares how he transitioned from high-carb to low-carb during races. (39:00) Laura went through testing for training that required analyzing her core temperature.

Episode 2677- Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss questioning the reasons behind slower weight loss for women, lab-grown meat, and fitness trackers. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/07/questioning-the-reasons-episode-2677 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Questioning the Reasons Vinnie is learning a lot about making kombucha. (3:00) He has discovered that he can reduce the sugar in it and still maintain great flavor. Reasons for women losing weight slower than men, even on a ketogenic diet. (9:00) Frontiers in Nutrition gathered the metadata, and this is what they found. Testosterone makes it easier to mobilize fat. Variations in the hormonal biochemistry occur in most women, making losing weight a larger challenge. (15:00) Low-carb/keto still works for women, but can be at a different rate, so consistency is key. Lab-grown meat. (21:00) They discuss the difference between lab-grown and fake meat (like Impossible Burger). They discuss the marketing and messaging behind the motivation. Climate change is a motivation, and they discuss inconsistencies in the argument. (28:00) Lab-grown meat still contains chemicals and would challenge the environment for different reasons. (37:00) The definition of an “ultra-processed” food: lab-grown and imitation meat qualify as this. You can watch Vinnie's documentary “Beyond Impossible” to learn more. (42:00) Fitness trackers. Vinnie isn't always a huge fan, but if it keeps people active and cognizant of their goals, he's fine with them. (44:00) The unfortunate thing is that they are not always accurate. They don't always work well for obese people, and the algorithm was designed based on thin, healthier people. (46:00) Don't get mad at the companies, just don't make yourself dependent on trackers. Rely on yourself! They discuss examples of what they mean by this. It's also not great to become obsessed with the data. That can have its downside as well.

Your body needs muscle mass to thrive! (15:00) People need to move to stay strong and agile. (16:00) The Western world is spoiled because of modern-day conveniences. Anna has been traveling and has found it hard to find clean food. (22:30) She shares her experience and how she's noticed that her taste buds have changed.

Episode 2675 - Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Tro Kalayjian and they discuss metabolic matters related to GLP-1s, hormones, the keto lifestyle, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/07/metabolic-matters-dr-tro-kalayjian-episode-2675 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Metabolic Matters Dr. Tro is an early contributor and guest on the show. (3:00) Dr. Eric Westman's work influenced him, and he has since collaborated with Dr. Westman. Vinnie refers people to Dr. Tro all the time. Dr. Tro is licensed in almost all states for telehealth services. More than one-third of Americans are on a medication; the average for people over age 50 is on at least 4 medications. (10:30) Many medications are helpful, but other ones are overprescribed. (12:00) GLP-1s are an example of being overly prescribed. People are often not counseled properly about lifestyle and just handed out the drug. Most people can't tolerate the side effects and are off of the drug within a year. (18:30) Approximate 30-35% of the weight they lose on GLP-1s is muscle tissue; consequently, the heart is a muscle. GLP-1s have a place in treatment, but their use is limited and restricted to certain situations. (26:00) Vinnie asks Tro about taking hormones like testosterone. (31:30) They discuss side effects of taking testosterone for both men and women. (38:00) Boron and DHEA are involved in hormones. Are they good to use? (45:00) Recent Research from Dr. Tro's Team Dr. Tro and his team have recently written papers about amazing results in metabolic treatments. They even saw improved results in things like food addiction and binge eating. A ketogenic diet can help some people with eating disorders. The team also works with corporate health programs to help employees get healthy and help the company save money. (56:00) They discuss some of the other benefits that happen with healthy employees—the positive effects spill over!

(9:00) NSNG® Foods is being put on pause until shipping issues are ironed out. (19:30) Production of UltraFat will stop for a time until issues with USPS have been remedied. The company is *not* closing, only pausing production for a time. Orders made up to July 1 will still be fulfilled. (32:00) Caloric Intake and Exercise Vinnie has always said that exercise is a poor way to lose weight. (33:00) A huge study that was just released used DLW (Doubly Labeled Water) methods to measure metabolism. Calories matter, but it's not the only thing to consider. Exercise is for longevity! (40:00) Your body compensates for increased activity by reducing energy used for other things, like fighting inflammation, stress response, etc. (41:00) The good thing about high fat and higher protein is that you feel full longer; however, you can not eat high *anything* without impunity. (44:30) Diet overall, especially from processed foods, increased body weight by 10 times! (46:00) Or another way of putting it: what goes into the body impacts your weight 10x more than how active you are.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, former mobster Sammy “The Bull” Gravano joins Adam in the studio! Adam kicks things off by asking Sammy if the Mafia still exists in any real form today, prompting Sammy to share wild stories from his past—including what justified a "hit," details on infamous figures like “The Iceman,” and even the grisly realities of body disposal. They also dig into modern court cases like the Diddy trial, failed socialist states like Cuba, and the collapse of leadership in places like California. Sammy shares insight on political bribery, claiming Democrats were easier to bribe than Republicans, and he reflects on the importance of the Mafia “code.”Fitness expert Vinnie Tortorich drops in to discuss today's modern health trends and their effectiveness. Adam shares his “safe spaces and octagons” theory, and Vinnie opens up about his experiences at Mount Whitney and extreme endurance events. They explore the truth behind infrared saunas and hyperbaric chambers, and Vinnie gives his hot takes on popular diet myths—debunking the health claims behind sourdough bread and brown rice, while promoting magnesium, creatine, and olive oil.In the news with Jason “Mayhem” Miller, the guys react to a viral airplane meltdown, where an entitled lawyer attempted to cut the deboarding line, sparking chaos and chants of “Karen!” from other passengers. The confrontation—complete with shouting, a crying baby, and social media backlash—leads to a broader conversation about travel etiquette and why patience is in short supply.

Episode 2668: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss the MIND diet and how healthy fats for a healthy mind happen with the right whole foods, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/07/healthy-fats-for-a-healthy-mind-episode-2668 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE -  Healthy Fats for A Healthy Mind The MIND Diet (2:30) The Mediterranean Intervention Neurodegeneration Diet, intended to slow cognitive decline. They discuss the suggested protocol, which still includes grains and almost no red meat, only fatty fish and chicken. It recommends avoiding saturated fat. The protocol is erratic and contradicts itself. (8:30) Epidemiological studies are not always accurate. Dr. Mary Newport has been on the show and specifically studies cognitive decline. (16:00) Studies demonstrate that saturated fats from coconut oil (MCT oil) and a ketogenic diet can slow cognitive decline and even reduce symptoms. (17:00) Here are links to some of Dr. Mary Newport's books:  The Coconut Oil and Low-Carb Solution for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Other Diseases: A Guide to Using Diet and a High-Energy Food to Protect and Nourish the Brain   Alzheimer's Disease: What If There Was a Cure (3rd Edition): The Story of Ketones   Clearly Keto: For Healthy Brain Aging and Alzheimer's Prevention The Complete Book of Ketones: A Practical Guide to Ketogenic Diets and Ketone Supplements The Mediterranean Diet is based on inaccurate and manipulated information. (19:00) The focus should not be on cutting out saturated fat, but rather on cutting out processed foods. (21:00) How good is a vegan chocolate cake? (24:00) A New York Times journalist states her reason for going vegan. After looking the author up, she is an environmental advocate; she is vegan based on her environmental beliefs, not likely because she had a good vegan chocolate cake. Just be authentic and accurate! Everyone can agree that everyone should eat clean, whole foods. Period.

(9:00) Vinnie explains the origin of the “220”. (11:00) It's an average heart rate, and the Zones are a breakdown from there. Zone 2 is 180- your age. He also explains why there may be some variations. Zone 2 is the most important because it allows you to be the most aerobically fit. (18:30) HIIT training is important, too, but after weeks of training in Zone 2. You have to build a base. Vinnie suggests HIIT once a week. VO2 Max is the volume of oxygen uptake, or the maximum volume of oxygen you can handle at any given time.

Episode 2665: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss an intro to Vitamins 101, and the what and whys of taking supplements. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/07/vitamins-101-episode-2665 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE -  All the Feels Humans have an emotional recall with music and food. (2:00) An example is pumpkin spice around Thanksgiving. It can work in reverse, too: people can have an aversion to junk food after being NSNG® for a while. They discuss other methods that are used to enable or modify behavior, from marketing tactics to “people movers” in Vegas. Chris doesn't miss air conditioning since he's been living out of the country. (12:00) They switch to discussing the importance of getting a proper vitamin intake. Vitamins 101 Why electrolytes? Almost everyone is at some level of hydration. (16:00) But there is such a thing as over-hydration, which can cause hyponatremia, or low sodium levels in the blood. (18:00) So many people are afraid of salt, but they don't necessarily need to be. (22:00) Salt is needed by the body as part of its functioning. Sweating, even only small amounts, and exhaling cause you to lose electrolytes. (25:00) You should take them, especially if you are active. Multi-vitamins: Do you really need them? Yes, it's difficult to get a good range of vitamins from food only—it's a daily insurance plan. Vinnie shares why he has a separate B12 in addition to B vitamins in the multivitamin. (37:00) Some brands don't break down in your stomach properly due to some of the ingredients. (44:00) Other brands often use the synthetic, or non-absorbable, versions of vitamins. (46:00) Magnesium Most people are deficient in magnesium. It can help with how you feel and how you sleep. (47:30) Certain varieties of magnesium can cause a laxative effect if you consume too much. Pure Vitamin Club uses a broader spectrum of magnesium.

Episode 2664 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss dining while on vacation, avoiding a slippery slope, and running with weighted vests. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/06/avoiding-a-slippery-slope-episode-2664 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Avoiding A Slippery Slope After a lesson in poetry and haiku, the topic of Summer vacation begins. (2:00) People want to indulge on their summer vacations, mostly at theme parks and on cruise ships. Vinnie had a lavish experience on a cruise once, but there was barely a gym! (11:00) He made do with what he had to work with. He also gets seriously seasick. The only thing to do on the cruise was gamble or overeat, neither of which he was interested in. Lately, many of Vinnie's consults have been centered around what a person, or family, eats on a cruise or at theme parks. (17:00) Make up your mind before you leave on how you are going to handle the event. (18:30) It's the key to avoiding a slippery slope! Anna gives a rundown of how you can approach the mindset. (20:00) Ask yourself beforehand about the emotional reasons, mindsets, and triggers you may have. Enjoy yourself, but be reasonable and plan. Anna reads a question from listener Bob Z. (35:00) Bob has a question about running with a weighted vest. It is not recommended to run with weighted vests. The long-term effect on hips and knees is not good. Rucking while walking is just fine, and it's best to have the waist strap that goes with it. Vinnie's new challenge for himself has been building a model train setup. (48:00) Anna's cheese bites are coming out, and Anna and Vinnie share ideas for some NSNG snacks. (55:00) More News If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, register here!

Episode 2663: Vinnie Tortorich speaks to Mike Feldstein of Jaspr air scrubbers about health, how much air quality matters, and what you can do about it. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/06/air-quality-matters-mike-feldstein-episode-2663 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE -  Air Quality Matters  Mike is the founder of Jaspr, which makes air scrubbers. (3:00) He has been in the remediation business for over ten years, including fire and mold. Vinnie has a question regarding radon gas: Is it a real thing? (6:00) Radon gas is the number one cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. (9:00) Vinnie asked about outdoor air quality and fire remediation issues. (12:30) The recent fires in Southern California, in Altadena and Pacific Palisades, are challenging. The amount of toxins in the air and soil is dangerous and may not be fully removed, at least not easily. The fight with insurance companies to get proper remediation and rebuilding is a long, frustrating process. Mike shares some of the other services Jaspr will do for their customers. (23:00) He also makes suggestions on how to deal with insurance company adjusters. They discuss how insurance tried to avoid paying, so you need to make a big stink appropriately. Vinnie asks Mike to elaborate and distinguish between air purifiers and scrubbers. (37:00) Warranties and the construction of the product make a difference. Sleep studies have been done where better air quality made a difference in sleep and allergies. (50:00) Mike gives suggestions for DIY options as well. (55:00) Filters and how often you need to change or clean them. (1:02:00) Mike gives other suggestions about things like bathroom and kitchen fans and vents. (1:07:00) He also suggests removing your shoes in the house.

Episode 2662: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss how you are being lied to about the Sugar Diet, the need for fat and protein, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/06/being-lied-to-and-the-sugar-diet-episode-2662 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE -  Being Lied To and The Sugar Diet After a bit of discussion about cartoon musicians and bubblegum pop, they switch to being lied to. (8:45) It's been around before, but in a different form: The Sugar Diet. It's similar to an All-rice diet or a Fruitarian diet. Vinnie reviews his interview with Michael Arnstein. (10:30) They talk about Cole Robinson and the “Snake Diet.” (22:00) He should be ignored simply for the fact that he fat-shames. He has recommended OMAD, high fat before, but seems to have added “sugar fasting.” Chris gives the details of “sugar fasting.” (24:00) You are being lied to: there is no nutritional value to sugar, and it causes damage to how your body functions. (26:00) Years ago, an all-protein diet based on protein drinks proved deadly to some people. (29:00) Big influencers are promoting a high-sugar diet. (35:30) Chris reviews what happened with the Rice Diet. (39:00) The reason it “worked” was an extreme caloric deficit. People in the study immediately regained weight upon leaving the study.

Episode 2661 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss cheese bites, go through a list of popular marketing snow jobs, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/06/marketing-snow-jobs-episode-2661 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Marketing Snow Jobs But first, and very much not a "snow job": Eat Happy Kitchen has cheese bites coming out! (6:00) Vinnie wants to enjoy them as part of his Mt. Whitney hike this summer. The cheese bites are low carb, clean (no junk ingredients), crispy, and filled with flavor. Heart-healthy grains are a lie. (15:00) Grains can create inflammation, including in your blood vessels and heart. Grains are not “heart-healthy.” (16:30 Breakfast is not necessarily the most important meal of the day. (23:00) If you eat breakfast, have a couple of eggs instead. If you have tried a smaller eating window during the day, but your weight loss has slowed down, try eating a couple of eggs in the morning. All the meals you eat are important: it matters what you put into your body. (26:00) Coffee will stunt your growth is also a lie. (31:00) In 1895, C.W. Post came up with a product made of burnt grains. He started a smear campaign against coffee so he could sell more “Postum.” Drinking eight 8-oz glasses of water a day is another inaccurate recommendation. (38:00) Michelle Obama had tried to address health and food awareness, but appears to have been shut down by Big Food companies. The focus was changed to drinking more water and moving more. Marketing and social media are filled with snow jobs. (44:00) Anna fills Vinnie in on how TikTok shopping works. More News If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, register here!

Episode 2660: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer talk to callers about how consistency makes a difference even when life gets overwhelming, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/06/consistency-makes-a-difference-episode-2660 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE -  Consistency Makes a Difference  No one wakes up wanting to be fat. Fat-shaming is not acceptable; however, there are indicators in society that demonstrate the health of the country is declining. (5:00) Obesity is less about genetics than we tend to think. Even the Pixar movie WALL-E sends a nod to this trend. The Callers  Dave has a question about rowing on the Concept 2; he gives a bit of backstory on how he discovered Vinnie and Anna Vocino. (17:45) He had weight loss with NSNG, but life happened over the years, and he fell into bad habits. (22:00) He was then diagnosed with cancer and dialed back into NSNG®. He's trying to dial in his Concept 2 routine. There is no such thing as permanent weight loss. Weight loss only works when you are eating right. (26:00) It only works as long as you are willing to work it! Vinnie gives Dave suggestions about using the Concept 2 and getting into Zone 2 and other challenges. (27:00) Charles is next: (39:30) He has been going through a slow process after knee replacement surgery; Vinnie gives some suggestions and encouragement. He lost approximately 40 pounds before the surgery and feels ahead of the game, despite healing being a slower process. Nina chats about how she went off plan and how she is struggling to get back to where she was. (50:00) Life will ALWAYS get in the way, so you cannot let that derail you. Nina has a summer reading list of books from Vinnie's Amazon Book Club: , , and Josh's daughter has health issues that require a lot of hospital stays. (58:00) His schedule challenges his ability to be consistently active. (1:05:00) Josh's approach and level of gratitude despite his challenges are inspiring. (1:11:00) Consistency will always make a difference in how you eat and exercise.

Episode 2659: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss three different topics that are all promoting mixed messages about health, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/06/promoting-mixed-messages-episode-2659 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE -  Promoting Mixed Messages Chris discovered an article in VegNews: a vegan Italian cookbook. (5:00) They divert to a bit of Italian-American history, which has had its challenges. (6:00) Back to the VegNews article: They ponder how an Italian meal can be vegan. (12:15) Vinnie's family grew veggies, but all the Italian meals centered around meat. There was a keto trial—a small trial—but testing high cholesterol. (22:00) They discuss how many studies have been misrepresented by not including countries whose cultural diets contain a lot of meat. Blue Zones has been misrepresented as well. The diets vary, and the level of meat is far more than what tends to be represented. The one thing all the Blue Zone cultures have in common is an active outdoor lifestyle. (37:00) If you want to get rid of heart disease, you must get rid of processed foods. (38:00) Lean Mass Hyper Responders have a different starting point to consider. (40:00) High cholesterol (LDL) in and of itself is not necessarily a problem; you need to look at it in conjunction with other factors. (42:00) The ADA launched the American Obesity Association. Novo Nordisk has contributed funds to the ADA. Novo Nordisk is the company that brought us Wegovy. (51:00) GLP-1s are not a Magic Pill; if they were, they wouldn't have deadly side effects. (52:30) The ADA amended its guidelines to say that GLP-1s should be the “first line of defense” of correction for T2 diabetes, rather than lifestyle. (54:00) The ADA is disengenuous because it receives millions of dollars from Big Food corporations each year to *not* tell you to cut out sugar and processed foods. (55:00) The information the ADA gives cannot entirely be trusted because of the sources of funding it receives. Follow Vinnie on X @vinnietortorich.

(3:00) Vinnie experimented on X regarding the naming of a post. Changing the words in the post name altered the level of engagement, even though nothing else in the post had been changed. (10:00) They chat about personalities in the health space. (13:00) Several have presented information that was taken directly from Nina Teicholz without giving credit to Nina. (15:00) The ketogenic diet has been around for over 100 years. (18:00) There is still plenty of disbelief that fat is healthy. (20:00) They discuss menopausal changes and how they affect a woman's belly. Serena saw changes after changing her exercise routine and trying a CGM. Anna found an article regarding an ingredient similar to Olestra. (30:00) Olestra is a modified fat that was in food products, but was short-lived as it would cause "anal leakage." Salt, Sugar, Fat by Michael Moss is in Vinnie's book club. (34:00) They chat about a recent guest, Vince Sanders, who discussed CBD products with Vinnie.

Vinnie shares his history as an athlete over the decades. (2:00) Vince talks about the bioavailability and absorption of oils and tinctures. They take cannabis oil and blend it with other oils. (15:00) His formulation and processing break down the oil into small particles that can dissolve in water. (18:00) CBD can have great benefits, but it can be cost-prohibitive. (19:00) They discuss Vince's regimen; it not only helps with pain issues but also brings a level of calm throughout his day. (21:00) CBD doesn't appear to affect the liver like ibuprofen does. (23:00) However, if you take a drug that is affected by grapefruit, then you should not take the CBD with that drug. Vince explains the differences in the various CBD product types and the percentage of CBD allowed. (26:00) Does CBD show up on a drug test? (38:00) How long until it expires? Oil can last a little longer. (43:00) Vince's company makes a wide range of products, including ones for pets. (44:00) Kratom has been used for pain, but it has a serious cause for concern. *Always* do your research first and work with your health provider.

(5:00) He shares how even very fit people can struggle in activities they don't do often. There is a way to strengthen your cardio and boost mitochondria to increase endurance. (15:00) Zone 2 training can make a big difference. Zone 1 is up to 69% of your aerobic capacity. An example would be a light walk or gardening. Zone 2 is 70-79% of aerobic capacity. Zone 3 is 80-89% of aerobic capacity. Zone 4 is 90-100% aerobic capacity. Zone 2 is a favorite because it's the range at which your body is still burning fat. HIIT training typically relies on sugar-burning. Calculate your Zone 2 by taking 180 - your age +/- 5 (depending on your activity level). If you are a sedentary person, subtract 5. If you are generally active, you can add the 5. Vinnie talks to a lot of obese people; however, they shouldn't worry about Zone 2 just yet. Focus on getting yourself to just move and do what you can do. (28:00) Wearing a heart rate monitor can help. Puttanesca Public Relations They switch to talk about Anna's Pumpkin Marinara and stores where it will be available. (36:00) She tells a story about the production and a challenge she ran into. No matter what happens, she wants customers to get the very best flavor and not mess around! Getting into grocery stores is an interesting thing. (41:00) She is trying to get the word out on her sauces, especially what Puttanesca is. Puttanesca is a wonderful flavor with kalamata olives and capers for an extra savory experience! She is running a special deal where you can get cash back from her. Listen for the details! (45:30) A viral trend that Anna participated in is a fabulous-looking onion and cheese crisp recipe, “frico”. She shares what it is and how she makes it.

(8:00) Vinnie is focusing on gut health and wonders if the raw milk kefir he's incorporated into his diet helps; he isfeeling better. There is a point at which hyper-focusing on health and longevity detracts from the quality of life, not necessarily enhancing it. (11:30) They discuss several public figures who lived a robust, long life. (13:00) Many people resign to getting older, but others keep going strong for as long as possible. Those examples are people who are choosing a different way to be. Store-bought kombuchas are flavored and have more sugar. (18:00) Vinnie makes his own at home. It's stronger flavored and way less sugary. They discuss espresso and higher-end espresso machines. (23:00) Margarine and other estrogenic products have been discussed with expert researchers like Dr. Anthony Jay. (32:00) Chris reads an article about a “fiber-filled gut trick.” (34:00) It's basically “wood pulp” (microcrystalline cellulose). The number of ingredients, especially chemicals and fillers, in things like bread is insane. Many brands of bread are up to 4 grams of sugar per slice.

(13:00) Candy doesn't pretend to be healthy, and if you eat it, you know you're making a choice. That's why LIL (Life Into Living) is meant as an infrequent treat. Some people are addicted to sugar, however, so they need to adjust their intake accordingly. He shares a story about going home to Donaldsonville and a local coffee shop. (19:00) One of the coffee drinks sounds very sweet. It has condensed milk in it, molasses, and brown sugar. Condensed milk has 166 grams of carbs in one cup!
