He credits many others, including Robert Lustig, Jeff Volek, and Eric Westman. Both Vinnie and Gary have seen an increase in health issues, particularly weight gain, among younger and younger populations. (10:00) Gary mentions a New York Times article that follows two sisters for a longevity study. (17:00) He reviews how dietary advice has shifted over the years. Marketing of sugary cereals and orange juice also ramped up sales of ultra-processed foods. (26:00) Generations of people were given the wrong advice for combating weight gain. (28:30) There is a possibility of “fetal programming,” which predisposes a baby to certain conditions like diabetes and obesity. But the message should *not* be to not even try to lose weight. What you eat and how your body responds hormonally makes a difference. (38:00) It reminds you that you can’t overeat anything, even healthy foods, without consequences. (51:30) Even people on carnivore can overeat. They discuss testosterone and weight gain. (56:30) Gary's next book (still in the works) is about the history of obesity science. (1:03:00) He also has a Substack called “Uncertainty Principles,” where he explores issues of good science and bad science.

You can find it in Vinnie’s Book Club here: Just when you thought you knew his story, there is so much more. Stallone's story is also a prime example of the power of “NO.” Non-sugar sweeteners. (27:00) A recent study states that there's no statistical difference between water and sugar-free beverages (such as Diet Coke). Coincidentally, or not, the study was sponsored by the American Beverage Association, which includes soda companies. Unfortunately, people may believe this and think they can drink cola drinks without harming their health. (29:15) Other sodas market themselves as healthy or “functional” drinks. One mixes its own “natural flavors,” but uses things like cassava. The amount of processing even needed to make cassava sweet is suspect. The “Dirty Keto” documentary addresses these kinds of products. The marketing of these products is shady. Instead of even saying they are simply an alternative, companies market them as “healthy”, which is misleading. Other Food Rules Kosher salt has its own rules. (48:00) Organic is a term that can be compromised, too. (52:00) This podcast isn't trying to scare you, but to help you navigate.

The Food Noise Fix - Episode 2865 10/12/2026

The Food Noise Fix - Episode 2865 Episode 2865: Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss hunger signals, protein, the food noise fix, and building new habits. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/10/the-food-noise-fix-episode-2865 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase! Choose from a 2-day, 4-day, or 6-day workout–or buy all three at a discount! TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: The Food Noise Fix Pumpkin spice and candy season. (2:00) Sylvester Stallone has a new book out that Vinnie is enjoying. (6:00) You can find it in Vinnie’s Book Club here: Anna shares that she sells her products at a local Pavilions during pumpkin spice season. (10:45) Vinnie describes a two-hour consultation with “Joey Six Pack,” a professional trainer seeking advice on fitness trends, particularly GLP-1 medications. (19:45) GLP-1 drugs are portrayed as potentially helpful for starting weight loss, especially for people with significant weight to lose. Users should develop sustainable eating habits in case they eventually stop taking the medication. “Food noise” refers to persistent thoughts or urges surrounding food; the term reportedly became popular through GLP-1 user testimonials and media exposure. Is it truly a good idea to always suppress “food noise, since hunger is a natural biological signal? Highly processed carbohydrates, such as chips, are presented as foods that can stimulate appetite and encourage continued eating. Protein- and fat-rich foods, such as steak, are described as more filling and less likely to lead to overeating. An optimal diet includes meat, fish, chicken, eggs, dairy products, and vegetables—particularly cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and kale. Eating more protein is also recommended to support muscle development when combined with strength training. The central message is to limit junk food, prioritize filling whole foods, and establish healthy eating habits rather than relying solely on medication, calorie counting, or portion-control tricks. Remember, Vinnie’s suggestions should not *replace* individualized medical or nutritional advice. Get Vinnie’s e-book here: Protein Intake and Muscle Anna saw a question on X about increasing protein but not using it to build muscle through exercise training. (39:00) Being on a GLP-1 should require increased protein and strength training, since a side effect is often lean muscle loss. Protein helps muscles build, but it will do little unless you stimulate the muscle to grow. Only work the muscles you plan on keeping! (44:00) People struggle to understand that once you become fat-adapted (through lower carb intake and ketosis), your body automatically tamps down “food noise.” (48:00) Don’t forget to get Anna’s new book Eat Happy Cocktail Hour!

The Frog in Boiling Water - Episode 2864 10/09/2026

The Frog in Boiling Water - Episode 2864 Episode 2864 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer speak with two callers about how weight gain can be "the frog in the boiling pot" and how to stay focused. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/10/frog-in-boiling-water-episode-2864 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

(5:00) She has struggled off and on depending on what life hands her, but she really wants to stay committed. She is doing better and has recommitted, but she has some questions. Vinnie shares the time in his life when he started gaining weight after leaving college football. (7:30) The point is how weight can creep up without even noticing. She shares what she does, but she still deals with the “f*** it's”, which is basically eating your emotions. (18:00) The goal for the mindset is to remain rational. Losing weight in midlife won't be as easy or as simple as it was in your twenties. (32:00) The VIP Group was opened briefly for Vinnie’s birthday, but is closed again. Membership may be available again around the New Year, so keep your eyes and ears open. You can join the waitlist at It’s a great resource for support, community, accountability, and access to Vinnie in group calls. Negative Results Scott King, a long-time NSNGer, is the second caller. He shares his weight-loss history for those new to the show. He had had gastric bypass surgery, but regained the weight he had lost. (38:00) Scott got a bit unfocused in his goals and became desperate enough to try GLP-1s. (40:30) He began to have negative side effects, and he was only on it for about three months. GLP-1s can cause serious digestive issues and, in some people, cause them to lose their drive, motivation, and zest for life. (46:00) He went back to NSNG® and focused, and he is losing weight again. (51:00) Sometimes it only takes one person to say the right thing to get back on track. (57:00) Thomas L. Cleave was a British naval surgeon who screamed about sugar and carbohydrates from the 1940s to the 1970s.

You can join the waitlist at Blue Zones—what’s happening? (24:00) Studies suggest it’s less about diet and more about community, family connection, and activity. There is a misconception that people in Blue Zones eat less meat. Some areas eat less, but other areas eat more red meat and seafood. Exercise is essential to health, but on its own, it’s not the best way to lose weight. (41:00) Eating a healthy, low-carb diet is what will help you lose weight; exercise is the cherry on top.

Vinnie also likes to do “dead hangs”, which is simply gripping and hanging from a horizontal bar for a good stretch. Anna shares a story to remind us that no matter where you live (United States, New Zealand, EU, etc.), you should read ingredient labels on packaged foods. (13:00) Vinnie has had neck pain for years and shares how he has managed it over time. (16:00) Three different doctors told him there was nothing he could do. Instead, he developed a system of stretches and exercises, and his pain has been significantly reduced. Vinnie also uses yoga blocks for his stretches. You can view and purchase them in his Amazon shop. A side effect of statins can be frailty and muscle wasting. (26:00) A prominent NSNG® VIP group member, Scott, recently started gaining some weight back because of a change in his habits. Scott shared his story in the VIP group: he had recently tried GLP-1s because he felt he was struggling a bit. Vinnie isn't fully against certain meds; however, the downsides aren't advertised, and the consequences can be brutal. There is also concern that many of these peptides come from unreliable sources. (35:00) Amino Acids Is taking an amino acid blend helpful? (38:00) It can be; however, not all may absorb well in capsule form. If you can eat the whole foods that the blend comes from (chicken, eggs, etc.), that would be better. Anna has already received a review for her new cookbook. Five stars, baby!

(3:00) Vinnie hopes everyone lives as long as possible with a high quality of life. (10:00) Over the years, many concerns have emerged about trends that could harm life and the environment. (11:00) One trend that has progressed and seems consistent is how sugar creates disease. But somehow now, influencers are saying low-carb is wrong. The poison is in the dose and frequency of sugar. (17:00) The invention of the CPG (Consumer Packaged Foods) has evolved into a “profit over people” model. (21:00) Convenience has been marketed in a manner that ultra-processed foods have taken over the market. Any kind of change can be tough, but you can work your way through it. (33:00) Single-ingredient foods are your best bet. People are recommitting to their health journeys before the holidays. (36:00) Go to Vinnie’s website to get the NSNG e-book. (42:50) NSNG® 101 Lightning Round Questions for the lightning round: Stick to one-ingredient foods. Get rid of ultra-processed packaged foods. Cut out any sugars, wine, beer, bread, “keto” packaged foods like “keto bread”, and sweeteners. What you *can* eat: meats like beef, pork, chicken and other fowl, game meats, fish and seafood. You can have non-starchy vegetables; however, Vinnie prefers cruciferous veggies the best. Fruits should be avocado, tomatoes, olives, and low-glycemic berries. Sure, other fruits can have nutrients, but if your goal is weight loss, avoid high-sugar fruits. Vinnie explains why white (and most other) potatoes should be avoided. Protein “health” bars are filled with junk. (54:00) They discuss how you can do an NSNG® lifestyle while trying to be vegetarian or even vegan. (58:30) Dairy depends on whether or not you are sensitive. If you are sensitive, you may gain weight. (1:00:00) Anna talks about her upcoming book, which is a beautiful party food book!

(28:30) Chris found a study about how bad health and fitness influencers often are. (30:30) So they found that 78% of health, fitness, and diet influencers are unqualified. More than two-thirds of the posts that they analyzed contained misleading, deceptive, or completely untrue information. They discuss misinformation online and in ads.

(6:00) Which leads to a favorite game: “Stripper vs. NFL” Anna found an article about lab-grown mozzarella. (27:00) It has been cleared without FDA approval. New Culture declared its own ingredient safe under a legal pathway called self-affirmed as generally recognized as safe, and never needed a decision from the agency. Getting rid of cattle is a bad idea since they are ruminants and they keep soil healthy. (36:00) Anna reads an article that states artificial sweeteners are linked to a much higher risk of heart attack, stroke, or death.

C15 is a fatty acid; however, you can get just as much when eating grass-fed beef or butter. (32:00) Do fitness trackers work for obese people as well as non-obese people? (43:00) Four major smartwatches were tested and found to overestimate certain data by 15%. A head-to-head study for people with obesity, prediabetes, and/or fatty liver disease was recently conducted. (52:00) The comparison was between ketogenic, Mediterranean, and plant-based diets.

A sedentary lifestyle is a deteriorating one. (23:00) Our bodies were meant to move! Your body doesn’t know what day of the week it is; it just needs to know if you’re doing something positive or negative to it that day. Your body needs motion, and more of it than some studies suggest! Turkey is not Vinnie’s favorite meat. (33:00) Turducken may or may not be the answer. Sleep deprivation can affect cognitive function; however, according to one study, 20 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise performs as well as a 90-minute nap when you are sleep-deprived.

(2:00) Vinnie consulted with a client who was struggling to feel stronger despite 4- and 5-day workouts. (16:15) Recovery between workouts is essential; it is part of the process of building muscle and strength. Vinnie shares advice on how to plan the week and get appropriate recovery between workouts. Exercise is a poor way to lose weight; however, it’s a great way to help support longevity by preserving muscle, strengthening bones, and managing insulin resistance. (26:00) Roseburia is an intestinal bacterium, and recent studies claim a correlation between Roseburia and grip strength. (35:45) Study out of Finland: people who drank more coffee had less total and abdominal fat, more muscle, and healthier metabolic markers, even at the same BMI. (51:00) What is TOFA, and what does it allegedly do? (54:00) It is an acronym for “5-tetradecyloxy-2-furoic acid,” which may help weight loss without muscle loss. The claim is that it shows more pronounced benefits when used alongside certain GLP-1s. But it has plenty of downsides, too. (56:30) Once again, there is no free lunch in nature. Everything has a cost. Weight loss shouldn’t be done with a pill or a substance if we can avoid it because you miss out on the dietary adaptation and learning the right habits.

The Third Rail with Dr. Gary Fettke - Episode 2846 Episode 2846 - Vinnie Tortorich and Dr. Gary Fettke discuss CGMs, dietary guidelines, GLP-1s, and the third rail of how the COVID-19 pandemic was handled. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/08/the-third-rail-dr-gary-fettke-episode-2846 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: Guidelines and GLP-1s Dr. Gary Fettke was in Vinnie’s first documentary, “FAT: a documentary.” They discuss how dietary messaging has changed over the years. (8:00) Whole foods, including animal proteins, are the optimal way to get nutrients. (15:00) They discuss CGMs and how helpful they can be for awareness of what certain foods do to your blood glucose. (20:30) Your body responds to everything you eat; however, some foods raise glucose levels more than others. A CGM can help you discover your personal response and bioindividuality. They discuss the U.S. Food Pyramid and RFK’s take on it. Following the previous dietary guidelines has not helped; in fact, it seems to have made things worse. For example, approximately 40% of the U.S. military members are overweight because of food served in military commissaries. (32:00) The Magic Pill documentary is fantastic viewing. (33:00) Vinnie asks Gary his opinion on GLP-1s. (41:00) The mechanisms in the body when using a GLP-1 are very similar to being on a low-carb, ketogenic diet. (44:00) Significant weight loss requires keeping protein levels up to help offset muscle loss. (48:00) Exercise is very important, and can help with loose skin. The Third Rail They discuss Gary’s experience during the COVID pandemic, or "the third rail." (57:30) He also shares thoughts about the recent hearings where Anthony Fauci and he “pleaded the Fifth” 111 times. The result of the pandemic is a percentage of the population realizing not to mindlessly follow medical authorities, which is good. Stay inquisitive and question what comes across the news and social media. Alcohol dampens T-cell lymphocytes' function; ketones will boost them.

Vinnie puts a call out to find her. He wants to offer her free help. (18:00) What would Vinnie suggest morbidly obese people can get started on a weight loss journey with him? (23:00) He always tries to “meet people where they are at.” Anna visits many online forums related to eating and lifestyle. (28:00) People are constantly trying to find substitutes and “game the system.” Redefining what a real treat is is the best idea. Anna has questions about the different forms of powdered protein. (40:00) The form of whey protein is whey protein concentrate, not whey protein isolate. If Vinnie ever uses powdered protein, it's typically an egg white protein. It’s bro-science that you have to eat within a certain window after working out. (44:30) Casein proteins release slower into your system than whey or egg white protein.

Maria shares her recent hip surgery and recovery, including how a carnivore-style diet and organ meats may have helped her healing. (26:00) Vinnie says clean eating, especially organ meats and liver supplements, can support recovery, but warns about overdoing vitamin A and copper. They discuss copper as having antibacterial properties and mention checking bloodwork. Kevin joins the show and says he was laid off after 30 years at a financial services company and is figuring out what comes next. (50:30) Vinnie encourages Kevin to stay confident, take his time, and consider work that is less vulnerable to AI disruption. (57:30) They talk about AI’s impact on jobs, especially in corporate environments, and the value of hands-on trades.

(3:00) Vinnie’s body doesn’t know it’s the weekend. (7:30) He shares a story about his hard-working grandfather. The lesson: why Vinnie doesn’t believe in “I can’t.” It’s also a lesson in following through on promises to others and yourself. Don't tell yourself "I can't." The Arizona Healthy Schools Act is attempting to ban ultra-processed foods during certain hours of the day while on campus. (25:00) It’s a little less about certain foods, and more focused on certain ingredients. (28:00) President Clinton had made the positive move of removing sodas from schools. (41:30) Unfortunately, sodas were replaced with other sugar-filled drinks, like juices. Even the American Beverage Association thought the law was ineffective. (45:00) Vinnie clarifies how he helps people break their habit of drinking soda, which is necessary if you are metabolically broken. (47:15) Avocados help lower LDL cholesterol, according to the Avocado Nutrition Center. (51:00) According to some well-respected cardiologists, high LDL is only a concern in a very specific context. Otherwise, keep enjoying your avocados! Also, stay away from tobacco products, including chewing tobacco.

(6:00) It was also the first time in a long time that Vinnie went water skiing. Once he recovered from an injury, he was inspired to return to the activities he hadn’t done for years. (16:00) He shares a skiing story that is a reminder to keep getting up after failing. (20:00) Vinnie gives an update on getting creatine into Pure Vitamin Club’s product line. (34:00) Benefits of CCTA Scans Vinnie is interested in learning more about reversal of plaque in the arteries. (37:00) For many years, medicine has stated that once plaque build-up happened, it could not be reversed. Chris summarizes an article from Cardiovascular Business Journal. (40:00) CCTA scans appear to show progression of disease in stages now, which was unavailable before. However, using the test should be limited since it uses contrast radiation. A CAC score tells you if you have plaque or not. The CCTA (Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography) examines how much plaque, where it’s located, and its progression. (50:00) Doctors and Big Pharma have been pushing Repatha. (52:00) It came out in 2016 and did basically nothing. And then, it’s jumped 37% year over year. The company made $953 million in sales in the second quarter this year of Repatha alone. Many people are on multiple drugs. Many times some of the drugs are addressing symptoms caused by other drugs they are taking. (56:00) Never be passive about your health when consulting with your medical professional.
