(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.

Episode 2707 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss keto-friendly oils, healthy aging, assessing aging with fitness tests, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/10/assessing-aging-with-fitness-episode-2707 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Assessing Aging with Fitness They discuss Serena's birthday. (2:00) The six best keto-friendly oils? (6:00) Olive oil, avocado oil, tallow, ghee, real lard, butter, coconut oil, and macadamia nut oil. Macadamia nut oil is expensive. Read the ingredients on your labels: even lard and tallow can be cut with seed oils. (15:00) Chris shares a list of fitness tests that can help assess the aging process. (16:30) If you want to see them, you can watch the episode on YouTube.   What about the focus on “mirror muscles”? (35:00) This refers to things like triceps and biceps curls. Performing compound movements is typically sufficient to gain strength and remain functionally fit. Various zones are good to focus on while working out. (38:00) Power Zone: Glutes, hamstrings, or “posterior chain.” Dead lifts need to be worked up to; it's not a beginner exercise. (39:00) Hip thrusts are good, especially with a hip thrust machine or with a Smith machine. Lunges are great, too, of course. Posture Zone: upper/middle back exercises Stability Zone: Pallof press or “Indian club” (which is a weighted bat or club) If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, it will be reopening soon.

Episode 2706 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the recent documentary about the "Liver King," and how it is "ick on the highest level." https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/10/ick-on-the-highest-level-epsiode-2706 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Ick On The Highest Level Anna and Vinnie recently watched the documentary about the "Liver King," whose real name is Brian Michael Johnson. Vinnie identified Liver King as a steroid user early on. Anna didn't pay much attention to the Liver King before. (4:00) The documentary revealed egregious lies and unsafe practices. Dessicated liver supplements can be great for you if you choose not to eat liver. But just like many other supplements, there are good brands and bad brands. (6:15) Anna created a list of takeaways from the documentary. The documentary is called “Untold: The Liver King” and is currently available on Netflix. (8:15) What you see is not what you get. Vinnie and Anna call out what didn't make sense in Liver King's reality show. The Liver King has been exposed as making unsavory decisions in life. Vinnie and Anna have been podcasting since 2012 and have previously been nominated for awards. (27:00) They discuss the ethics of some influencers in monetizing their platforms. Some of the information exposed during the documentary was that the Liver King was taking approximately $11,000 per month in steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. (38:00) Steroids are dangerous—they can be deadly. Pro bodybuilders have died because of them. (40:00) Supplements like dessicated liver can be beneficial, but vary widely in quality. Dessicated liver *with fat* is the optimal version to purchase. They are great to have if you don't eat enough meat, or if you don't care to eat liver. (44:00) Anna is learning to make her own yogurt. (47:00) Making yogurt and kefir is interesting, very cost-effective, tastes great, and is great for you!

(2:30) Vinnie shares his Porsche story; it helped him decipher what he really wanted. (5:30) He discussed how he finds help to improve his goals. Get the help you need! (13:00) Shelli is the first guest. (14:00) She heard Vinnie on Mike Rowe; however, her motivation kicked in after several family members died of heart disease. Luckily, her daughter has learned a good, healthy lifestyle. You don't have anything if you don't have your health! (23:00) Maria is the second guest to join the call. (33:00) She's changed her habit just through listening to Vinnie. She's never had a weight issue, but she feels better overall. Rand is the next guest. (49:00) He also discovered Vinnie through Mike Rowe's show. He's been doing really well with NSNG, but he has developed an odd issue. Rand gets hungry soon after eating, despite eating high protein and fat. Vinnie goes over Rand's typical daily meals and makes suggestions. (57:00) The culprit might be the amount of nuts he snacks on. If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, it will be reopening soon.

Episode 2704 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss coffee culture, the decline of keto, and its popularity, climate concerns, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/09/the-decline-of-keto-episode-2704 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - The Decline of Keto Vinnie shares how he came up with his French Roast. (2:00) Chris was never part of the coffee shop culture. They discuss a recent discussion on X about coffee: It's heart-healthy! There have been other things that have been demonized, like meat; however, it's often based on conclusions from poor epidemiological studies. (12:15) Epidemiological studies can be unreliable, and data can be manipulated. (16:00) Nina Teicholz uncovered information in her research that exemplifies this in her book Big Fat Surprise, which is available in Vinnie's Book Club. (17:00) A small German study reports that the keto diet can help mental health. (18:00) Dr. Chris Palmer and Dr. Georgia Ede have both studied dietary lifestyle and its effects on depression and mental health. Global reports suggest the ketogenic diet is losing popularity. (24:00) Is it because of people getting tired of it, or is it GLP-1 use? They discuss another downside of GLP-1s, which is not learning to manage eating. The ketogenic diet is healthy for various reasons, including being shown to manage metabolic disease and provide mental health benefits. Companies are rebranding to relabel their products as high-protein, low-sugar, or gut-friendly. (32:00) If you are new to the podcast, Vinnie has a documentary about the fake meat industry entitled “Beyond Impossible.” (37:30) They discuss some of the content, including climate concerns. A Gallup survey indicates that there are 4% vegetarians and 1% vegans in the U.S. population. (45:00) Vinnie doesn't care what people eat; he wants them to eat healthily and avoid malnutrition. Someone to Blame They discuss other environmental arguments, such as how termites put out more methane than ruminants. (50:00) Various environmental arguments have changed and haven't come to fruition. There are concerns like monocropping, pollutants, and destroyed topsoil that are a concern. (55:00) John Wayne and his rugged individualism are apparently the cause of eating too much meat, according to some sources. If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, it will be reopening soon.

(38:00) Eggs, meats, fish, and seafood, and a variety of non-starchy vegetables, especially cruciferous ones. Cheese and other dairy products are good; however, some people are sensitive to them.

Episode 2702 - Vinnie Tortorich and Dr. Lisa Strohman discuss what is happening to us as a society because of social platforms, information silos, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/09/what-is-happening-to-us-dr-lisa-strohman-episode-2702 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - What Is Happening To Us There is intense conversation in this episode, and it is not intended for children. Listener discretion is advised. Dr. Lisa Strohman is an attorney, a clinical psychologist, and the founder of Digital Citizen Academy. Trying not to get political, but this discussion addresses mental health issues, particularly around shootings. (3:00) We are at a place where we do not accept ideological differences—why is this? (7:00) Social media platforms are a big influence. They discuss some of the details regarding the Charlie Kirk shooting; some of the references have to do with gaming. (11:00) The current tech climate allows for a huge expansion of communication and influence. (13:00) Why the need to celebrate violence against others? (21:00) Hate and violence have been amplified throughout the decades, especially in political forums. (22:00) Some aspects of technology have allowed us to outsource our critical thinking and communication skills. (28:00) Having some kind of empathy for others is necessary. (39:00) Data and Disconnect RFK Jr and the Tylenol confusion, especially surrounding autism. (42:00) We have handed over true scientific research to social media influencers. (43:00) There are 20 years of data that prove that being on devices more than three hours a day (using the tech as a toy, not a tool) causes brain damage. The average teen is on their phone for over nine hours a day, and the average adult is on 7 hours. We are actually sickening ourselves with misinformation. (48:00) Ironically, the current level of use of devices and social platforms has increased the disconnect with others, with community, and has caused isolation, anxiety, and depression. (55:00) Vinnie discusses his theory about the Charlie Kirk gunman. (58:00) Lisa has worked in the FBI and shares her thoughts. They discuss some of the discussions posted on social media before the event. is Dr. Lisa Strohman's website. If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, it will be reopening soon.

(3:00) Jim is the first call-in guest, who discovered Vinnie's podcast through Mike Rowe. (5:30) There is such a thing as overeating even of healthy foods. Vinnie shares an example of how even NSNG-friendly foods can sneak in too often. Jim asks about balancing fats and proteins. (19:00) Everyone in diet culture wants rigid, perfect ratios, but just find a good average that works for you. (20:15) Anna is the next guest and shares how she started NSNG®. (26:30) She has come a long way and is now running ultramarathons. She has also changed her life in other areas that have helped, including reducing alcohol. There are still ultrarunners who load up with high-carb gels, etc, and it's not necessary. You can train your body to use fat as fuel, even for ultramarathons. (36:00) Darren is the third guest. (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. (48:00) NSNG® helped him get off the CPAP machine. (51:00) Darren has been thorough in doing his reading and research, and all the science luminaries validate what Vinnie has been preaching for years. (54:30) Simply removing the highly processed foods makes a huge difference. (1:00:00) Be sure to strength train to avoid losing muscle during your weight loss—muscle is king! Darren has another question about getting hungry even after a large meal. He had been doing OMAD, but that could be the problem.

(3:00) Zone Zero refers to low-impact exercises, such as yoga and other gentler activities. (23:00) Even housework is good movement. However, to gain muscle, you need to be doing regular strength training. If your job requires loading and moving heavy objects (like farm work), that is often sufficient. They discuss what is meant by “active recovery.” (28:30) The belief that “more is better” is not necessary. You can get in a solid workout with fewer sets. (31:00) They discuss an article that reports how exercise can reverse cancer cells. (35:00) HIIT training seems to help. Chris delineates how the studies were done. The level of exercise can improve immune response through signaling myokines. Reminder: don't use tobacco products! (46:30) If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, it will be reopening soon.

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!

They discuss various diet influencers from decades past, such as Susan Powter. She shares some of her health backstory and about yo-yo dieting. (15:00) She has lost weight, is on no medications, and feels better at 62 than she did at 35. (20:00) Mike and Rebecca are up next. (30:00) They discovered Vinnie through Mike Rowe. Rebecca started before Mike, but they are both NSNG®. Mike wants to know how to gain weight (in muscle). (33:00) The only way to put on lean muscle mass is to lift heavy things. Rebecca lists several improvements in her health. (38:00) Using coconut oil and staying in dietary ketosis can help with brain health. (44:00) Jacob is the next guest. (48:30) He also found Vinnie through Mike Rowe's show. He's lost some weight, but seems to have slowed down a bit, even though his weight is trending downwards. (50:00) Drastic, quick weight loss can sometimes cause loose skin; however, some of it will snap back over time and with consistency in a healthy lifestyle. (59:00) They discuss hunting, especially deer hunting. (1:00:00) If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, it will be reopening soon.

Episode 2698 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss mixed messages in nutrition, MAHA, and the need to stop the insanity. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/09/stop-the-insanity-episode-2698 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Stop the Insanity Chris and Vinnie strategize on how to get more followers using AI. (2:00) They discuss Catholic school sex ed from when Vinnie was in school. (10:00) Using this as an example of contradictory messaging and hypocrisy. Mixed messages are the reasons behind many of the issues in the health of society today. (16:00) There are claims that obesity isn't related to personal choice. (17:30) Disadvantaged communities struggle since so many processed foods are cheap, and that can be true. (18:00) The other claim has to do with poor gut health, which Vinnie doesn't believe. (18:30) Vinnie believes it has to do with misinformation and following the federal dietary guidelines. MAHA appears to be divisive for various reasons. (27:30) They discuss some of the concerns expressed about changing the SNAP problem, including expense and waste. But it seems there should be workarounds to resolve the concerns, so stop the insanity. Big Food and Big Pharma aren't likely to want the changes, it seems. (45:00) They discuss Alpha-gal syndrome, which is an allergy to red (mammalian) meat and sometimes dairy. (47:00) It is caused by a tick bite. Other meats, like chicken and fish, can still be eaten, so there's no real need to go vegan. Apparently, Martha's Vineyard is a hotbed of Alpha-gal. (53:00) They discuss how expensive certain farmers' markets are. If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, it will be reopening soon.

Scott, his wife, and son have lost a combined 500 pounds so far! (7:00) He summarized the issue Scott had with a false report on him to the authorities. A long-distance relative thought there was abuse happening because they were following a “crazy diet.” Testosterone replacement therapy and the concerns Vinnie has with it. (14:30) The right foods, proper rest, weight training, and other natural alternatives can help with hormonal function. (16:00) Vinnie is not anti-medication or anti-doctor; he wants people to address concerns naturally before resorting to meds.

(2:30) Vic is the first call-in guest. (9:00) They chat about being neighbors in New Orleans. Vic has been NSNG® for a while and is close to his goal. (14:00) He asks Vinnie about stretching and flexibility. Vinnie understands the benefits of fasting, but his concern is that it should be done healthily so it doesn't become disordered eating. (22:00) Mike is the next guest and shares his background, including his experience with Type 1 diabetes. (27:00) He was following the suggested protocol from nutritionists, but was gaining weight. He went full-on NSNG® and lost 60 pounds in approximately three months. They discuss Zone 2 training as a form of glucose control, and also HIIT training. (40:00) You will achieve more lean body mass by doing strength training as opposed to just aerobics. (43:00) Sherry joins in. (47:00) She had tried Plexus, which is an MLM product. Vinnie explains the difference between cheating and “life into living.” (51:00) Sherry lost her husband to diabetes and other complications. He ate whatever and whenever he wanted, and relied on taking insulin to "fix" him. She has also noticed her autoimmune flare-ups (Hashimoto's)  have reduced.

Episode 2695 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss a listener's bizarre health report, how labeling lies matter, and not limiting your goals. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/09/labeling-lies-matter-episode-2695 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS   YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Labeling Lies Matter Scott, a listener, was in horrible shape, but a family member called CPS services because they were worried for his well-being. (2:00) They thought he was going through a mental health challenge because he was eating healthfully and trying to become active. Protective Services observed him for 3 months to ensure nothing was wrong. But now, the family is on board. (7:00) The ridiculous viewpoint appears to be that a person must be mentally unstable for trying to eat low-carb and for eating more healthfully. (11:00) Vinnie's “Dirty Keto” documentary was prophetic. Companies had started marketing products labeled “keto” that were still junk. (17:00) Lawsuits are popping up based on claims made on certain keto product labels. LMNT electrolytes is being called out for the use of things like maltodextrin hidden under the canopy of “natural flavors.” (21:00) It's interesting to see people start to push back against Big Food. (27:00) “Keto Certified” is not something the FDA actually does. Washington, D.C, is one of the most expensive places to live in the United States, and it's not a coincidence that it's filled with luxury shopping areas. (37:00) Back to the RFK fitness challenge video (link below for reference). (43:00) Some view it as unfeasible for most people, so they shouldn't even try. (45:00) The moral of the story is to try something new and set goals. Get started at the level you can begin now, and set incremental goals. The goal isn't the problem—the problem is the limited mindset. (54:00) If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, it will be reopening soon.

Vinnie gives a list of bodyweight exercises and ways to get started with them. (8:00) Some of the exercises may be better viewed on YouTube. Squats, lunges, Bulgarian split squat, glute bridge Remember the phrase “slow is smooth, smooth is fast.” Slowing down and doing the moves thoughtfully will help you see results faster. (19:50) Vinnie discusses variations in push-ups and pull-ups, especially for beginners. (25:00) Core exercises are important, and a plank (and its variations) is a great place to start. (31:00) Doing situps on the floor is great, too. Calf raises are a nice thing to finish with. (35:00) Anna loves Reddit for various reasons. (39:00) Vinnie shares a story about Reddit and the Adam Carolla show. (This section is brief, but could be sensitive to some listeners; discretion is advised.) Anna shares an item from Reddit where a woman was asking for fitness advice. (46:00) The mix of good and bad advice is frustrating to read. They give ideas on how to give useful suggestions that counteract the bad advice given by others.

(3:00) Is Ozempic (or other semaglutides) affecting vision? (12:30) There is a specific eye condition (called NAION) that can be aggravated by semiglutides and cause permanent blindness. It is still being studied; however, people who are obese or have diabetes are at a higher risk of GLP-1s. Just be aware: if you are on a GLP-1 and have any changes in your vision, consult your doctor right away. Drugs such as these should be considered a last resort, not a first resort, and the side effects are why.(22:00) There is some good news that Gen Z is pushing back against processed foods and fake meat. (25:00) The more whole foods you have, the less likely you are to need certain drugs, especially for weight loss. (29:00) They discuss how misinformation turns into a trend. (32:00) A recent fitness competition between RFK Jr. and the Secretary of Defense. The video is linked below. (37:00) Vinnie analyzes the form and how off they were. He, however, is still glad the Presidential Physical Fitness is back. A challenge like this is a noble goal, but it must be done correctly.

Episode 2691- Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the docuseries "Fit for TV" and its behind-the-scenes revelations and exploitations. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/09/revelations-and-exploitations-episode-2691 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Revelations and Exploitations After a chat about hand modeling and voiceover actors, they discuss the Netflix docuseries “Fit for TV.” (2:00) The Biggest Loser, when originally aired, was exploitive. (8:30) The contestants weren't paid very well, and the trainers were questionable. The episodes were grueling to watch because of the treatment of the contestants. (16:00) They discuss some of the tactics the show used to get contestants. Contracts were complicated and presented in a manner that rushed contestants into signing. (18:00) They'd sign away their image rights, and the production company would own it. Vinnie shares his experience with the show's doctor (in a separate incident). After having Vinnie go through multiple tests, the show's doctor couldn't give Vinnie an answer as to what was wrong with him. Two days later, Vinnie found out he had cancer (from a different doctor). (22:00) Anna felt that the Fit for TV documentary didn't hammer down on the point hard enough about how dangerous and exploitive the show was. (29:00) Caffeine pills—are they harmful? (31:30). They discuss some of the contestants and their struggles, including one woman who had to be airlifted to the hospital. (39:00) An Offer to Help Danny Cahill was a contestant and the overall winner of the most weight loss. (51:30) However, he has since regained all the weight, and then some. Vinnie is offering special help to Danny at no cost and with no exploitation, publicity, fanfare, etc. Vinnie wants to help Danny regain his health in a healthy and sustainable manner. Danny has a public Facebook link at: Our audience has shown interest in reaching out to Danny to encourage him. Does exercise ramp up appetite, or suppress it?

(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.

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!

(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.

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!

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.

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!
