Avoiding a Slippery Slope - Episode 2664
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!

Air Quality Matters with Mike Feldstein - Episode 2663
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. Protein and heavy lifting are how you build a stronger, healthier body. (48:00) You do need some fat for your body to function properly. (50:45) There is nothing that you can eat or drink with impunity. (51:00) Follow Vinnie on X @vinnietortorich.

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!

Consistency Makes a Difference - Episode 2660
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.

Promoting Mixed Messages - Episode 2659
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."

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.

Episode 2655 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss fitness, staying in Zone 2 during training, some interesting news from Eat Happy Kitchen, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/06/staying-in-the-zone-episode-2655 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Staying In The Zone Vinnie shares a story about getting some differences in strength and fitness in different activities. (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.

(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).

(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!

(44:30) Physicians hesitate to counsel their patients because of the way funding works for hospitals. (45:15) It’s a sick-care problem. (47:00) There is fear and pushback on the ideas around shaming. (50:00) Many doctors’ offices avoid weighing patients because it supposedly “shames” a person. However, many treatments require knowing the patient’s weight for proper prescription dosage or treatment. Doctors’ hands are often tied because of the limited time they are allowed to spend with a patient. Dr. Amy had been vegan for 37 years and was beginning to get very ill, and she describes what issues she was battling.

(3:00) Breathing correctly can improve your nervous system, mental clarity, and even your eyesight. (8:00) Doing Zone 2 cardio while breathing through your nose can improve your health. (11:30) The longer you can stay in an aerobic state, the less lactic acid builds up. (20:00) The goal is to keep your breathing calm regardless of the intensity of the exercise. (23:00) Breathing can help regulate your emotions and your nervous system response. (35:00) You can get the effects of Viagra or nitrous oxide by breathing through your nose; proper breathing increases NAD, which is a vasodilator. (41:00) Breathing through the mouth is similar to rusting (causing oxidation) because it allows free radicals to remain in your system. (43:00) Robert enjoys using measuring devices such as continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) that track numbers over time. He uses a device that measures HRV by using an EKG patch attached to your chest.

(2:30) A good road trip is a nice “mental massage.” (5:15) He shares what he packs for the road trip. All of Vinnie’s businesses will be consolidated into one website soon. (16:00) Pure Vitamin Club, Pure Coffee Club, and NSNG Foods will be available on one website. Chris brings up Good Morning America and GLP-1s. (18:00) Zepbound is being touted as the most effective, but, of course, it will come at a cost. The drastic loss of muscle is a concern; after all, your heart is a muscle! Ten percent (the low-end percentage) of muscle loss in the 60 to 72 week time span is the same as 20 yearsof sarcopenia. (25:00) They give an example of a VIP member who has been slow to lose weight; however, they have figured out this person is undereating! Your metabolism can slow down if you aren’t getting enough calories. It can be as simple as adding another egg or two to make sure you are getting enough. This is the challenge with intermittent fasting and OMAD (one meal a day) approaches to eating. If you allow yourself to eat a treat, just get right back on the NSNG® plan. If you aren’t sure how to get started with NSNG®, get Vinnie’s e-book. Chris shares some of his weight loss journey.

(13:15) The national average for 8 through 10-year-olds in the United States is 6 hours a day on screens. For adults, it’s just over 7 hours per day; consequently, that means over 100 days out of the year! And that’s the average. (14:00) What kind of exercises can be done to improve your vision?

(3:00) What is the best time of day to work out, ideally? (10:45) In Vinnie’s experience as a trainer, he noticed that his clients performed the best between 9:00 am and 11:00 am. They discuss schedules and what your body can handle. For most people, the morning is best; ultimately, do it when you can fit it in. Vinnie did a whole documentary regarding various keto packaged products, called “Dirty Keto.” (18:00) You can find it in the links below--watch it on Amazon. A bread company just pitched to Chris to do ads on the podcast. (20:00) They review the label and ingredients for a particular keto bread. (24:45) People are misled by the idea of net carbs as well as other keto labeling. Ingredients are often still not good, and not NSNG®.

Use code BOGO25. Vinnie has been screaming about the harm that certain carbs can do for years. (2:00) He explains how a glucose spike and a glycemic load happen in the body, which can lead to insulin resistance. (6:30) The information dieticians have been giving about complex carbs has been misleading. Marketing agencies have been able to use buzzwords on products that only cause confusion. (9:30) For example, “gluten-free” and “gluten-friendly.” "Gluten-friendly" doesn’t mean anything, and gluten-free doesn’t mean low-carb. People think that their food needs to be “fortified.” (12:00) If you have cheese, you already have protein; you don’t need to “fortify” cheese; however, people are always looking for cheats or shortcuts. Anna reads comments from the sugar industry about RFK Jr.'s recent comments about sugar being poison. She is trying to effect change by bringing healthy products and yummy recipes to *everyone*. (18:00) She reads the response from the sugar industry’s Courtney Gaine, PhD; his claim of sugar consumption being the lowest ever is outright bullsh*t. (21:15) During the Lincoln administration, the average sugar consumption per person, per year, was approximately one pound; however, current estimates are at 150 lbs per person, per year. (23:15) Some research estimates up to 350 lbs per year! Jennifer is joining the show to discuss how she came up with a *year-long* dinner meal plan. (32:00) Almost no meal is repeated!

(2:30) Mark is a Raw Milk Farmer and has been for 27 years. (8:00) Pasteurization kills all the benefits of milk. Homogenization breaks up the butter fat for convenience’s sake. Mark explains other things that are done to commercial milk. Mark explains how he keeps raw milk clean and maintains its benefits. (12:00) The history of pasteurizing milk in the United States goes back to 1893. Milk used to get easily contaminated once dairies entered cities. (16:00) Cities were filthy decades ago and created “the milk problem.” Thirty to forty percent of people would die from contaminated milk in the late 1800s. Mark describes how raw milk is processed. (22:00) Mark’s farm has a lab on site that tests every batch for negative bacteria. The only benefits to commercialized milk are that it “lubricates cereal.” (24:30) Pasteurized milk is the number one allergenic food listed on the FDA’s website. Raw milk is not associated with bad digestion; it can heal the gut. (33:00) Food is the foundation of health, not medicine. (41:00) They discuss which states where raw milk is legally available. (43:00) Do your research on farms in your area, and whether raw milk is available to you or not. Mark’s raw milk is available in approximately 500 stores in California. Go to to find out more.

(3:00) How do these two phrases relate to making a comeback? (15:00) Pure Vitamin Club has made a comeback and has everything in stock. RFK Jr. recently stated, “Sugar is poison.” This message has needed to come from a government official for a long time. (18:00) The quantity of sugar consumed per capita has multiplied over the decades. A hybrid burger, “Both”, mixes meat with vegetables in the same patty. (28:00) Vinnie doesn’t like that the underlying message is that meat is bad, or at the very least, eat less meat. (30:30) Another hybrid "meat' is a chopped steak by Choppy. (33:00) Chris shares the ingredients, and it doesn’t sound great in Vinnie’s opinion. The desire for convenience makes people take shortcuts that they don’t need to. For example, feeding cereal to their child for breakfast instead of cooking eggs. Chris has some exercise questions for Vinnie. (43:00) Another fitness influencer suggests three things to do in the gym. Vinnie discusses why the three exercises may not be optimal. He suggests instead push-ups, assisted pull-ups, lunges, or bodyweight squats. Adding cardio and flexibility is always a plus, and it doesn’t have to be complex. (50:00) Vinnie discusses his “phone diet.” (53:00) He has suggestions on how you can reduce time on the phone. There are so many entertainment sources that people think they need them all the time.
