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.

(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.

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.

They discuss brunch the following day and the chaos that followed. (33:00) Are donuts and beignets really a breakfast food? Vinnie shares his experience while visiting his parents. (48:00) They went to a restaurant where Vinnie ordered something that seems pretty harmless. Vinnie drives a lot for his trips, and they discuss how a good road trip can be good for the soul.

(5:00) Vinnie talks about an obese woman and a hiking story. (10:00). She became dehydrated quickly. Unfortunately, instead of a rescue story, it has turned into a mocking of large people. 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. (48:00) Anna’s going to Scotland, and has an idea for her coffee and tea while traveling. (50:30) She found a heavy cream powder that she likes and can travel with.

(6:00) Maria and Vinnie talk about life, sports, and cultural differences, including soccer, hockey, and fan behavior at stadiums. Vinnie argues that people should be tougher on their own habits and stop making excuses around politics, celebrities, and consumer behavior. 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. Kevin says he’s been getting back into weightlifting and jiu-jitsu, and Vinnie recommends a weekly zone 4 interval workout to improve VO2 max. Vinnie explains that zone 2 alone helps, but harder intervals are what really move VO2 max. He explains how to get to zone 4 and do what is called a “quad.” Try to do something physical every day, especially in the great outdoors!

(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.

(39:00) Belinda gives the history behind Loma Linda and Ellen G. White. Loma Linda is home to a food factory for processed foods.

(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.

However, Dr. Strohman has a patent application in for an app to help with enforcing habits and protections. (9:00) There are very noticeable differences in younger generations whose exposure to screentime and social media has been high. (12:00) Social etiquette and communication have been affected. The lack of certain brain usage can have an actual physical negative effect on the brain. (20:00) The brain is similar to a muscle in the way that it needs to be worked in a certain way to stay strong and healthy. Algorithms are designed to create compulsive use. (27:00) Also, oxytocin is affected negatively as well; as a result, there is a kind of numbing effect. Both child safety and content moderation should be considered. (29:00) As a result, there are many questions you should be thinking about to protect yourself and your children. Different types of psychological manipulation have been observed in thousands of “rooms.” It appears that Big Tech companies try to influence members of Congress to change rules to protect Big Tech.

(5:30) Olive oil, fish, and reducing refined carbohydrates increase two beneficial mitochondrial peptides. (17:00) The Mediterranean diet isn’t a diet; there is too much variation in Mediterranean regions to define it at all. (22:00) Go to Vinnie’s YouTube channel for visual reference during the conversation. (25:00) Artificial sweeteners are bad for your gut. (38:00) Combined with additional things like antidepressants, it made gut diversity even worse. Vinnie explains why he tries to encourage people to go cold turkey away from sugar and sweeteners.

Success from Resilience - Episode 2833 07/29/2026

Success from Resilience - Episode 2833 Episode 2833 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss success from resilience, healthy aging, food addiction, and social media influencers' advice. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/07/success-from-resilience-episode-2833 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: Success from Resilience Vinnie argues that people who achieve big things keep going through pain, setbacks, and repeated failure. (4:00) He uses examples like Elon Musk, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, and Lou Gehrig to illustrate that success usually follows repeated misses. Success is measured by failure tolerance, or, as Vinnie likes to call it, FQ (Failure Quotient). Resilience is important in life, and the only way to build it is through challenges. Accountability and consistency matter more than motivation alone, especially with weight loss and addiction. He says food addiction is real and that tools like GLP-1s are not a cure-all. Vinnie has a 45th high school reunion coming up. (33:00) He recounts the previous reunion he went to several years ago. The reunion story becomes a reflection on time, aging, lost classmates, and the shock of seeing how much people change. He became motivated to train harder and stay in shape for longevity and health. Is social media fitness advice targeted at women, myth or truth? (41:00) They review four specific claims regarding eating, fasting, and working out. Vinnie’s advice: eat real food, train, hydrate, and don’t get distracted by fitness influencer contradictions. Supply, cost, and food politics often make healthy eating harder due to economics and policy.

(11:00) Anna reads a portion of the Wall Street Journal article describing it. (8:00) Anna and Eat Happy Kitchen are working to keep her products reasonably priced. (22:00) Trends from the Food Show. (30:00) “Functional” beats “conventional.” There is a certain “premiumization” of products happening, like bone broth; Anna gives other examples. Adaptogens (like various mushrooms) have been getting a big push, too. (36:00) Seed oils have become a bipartisan political issue. (39:00) Non-UPF labels are coming as a new certification. (46:00) Red Vines is an example of ingredients that do not match the claims on the nutrition panel. How labels are designed makes a difference, too. The lie is next to the truth.

Lowering the Bar - Episode 2827 07/15/2026

Lowering the Bar - Episode 2827 Episode 2827 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss lowering the bar when identifying obesity, smoking weed, and the effects of less sleep. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/07/lowering-the-bar-episode-2827 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: Lowering the Bar Vinnie has had a wonderful week. (3:45) He spent time with his best friend since childhood, and they ended up chatting about Jim’s health. Jim is ready to make some changes. The obesity rate has been coming down from its all-time high. (19:00) These metrics were taken between 2024 and 2025. However, childhood obesity is 20%, but in the 1970s, it was 3 or 4%. But what is considered obese has been redefined. (24:00) Lowering the bar doesn’t make things better. Also, the numbers were gathered by Gallup (people self-reporting), not from doctors. The introduction of GLP-1s is credited for these numbers, but that may not be accurate. (30:00) However, they still don’t seem to be a long-term solution because people abuse GLP-1s. Sleep has more impact on weight gain than you may think. (40:30) Less sleep can cause more cravings, among other things. Holy crap, we spent money on this study? (48:00) Result: Smoking weed is bad for your health. Daily smoking of weed holds the same risk of lung cancer as daily smoking of cigarettes. It’s not the substance; it’s the inhaling of smoke.

Vinnie encourages people to go out and live life by trying new things. (4:00) There’s a recent drug, similar to a statin, called Repatha. But is it better? (13:00) Statins were originally developed for specific heart-related issues; however, they have now gained traction as almost “normal,” even though they weren’t intended to be. Please do your own research and advocate for yourself, because no one is coming to save you. Society has normalized taking meds instead of normalizing better health. Pure Vitamin Club has revamped its website and added more offerings! (24:00) Anna has an update on her grocery store plans: Eat Happy Kitchen is pulling out of Kroger's Western divisions. (33:00) Kroger has decided to reduce the number of sauces it carries and is going for non-premium items. Be sure to go to Kroger-affiliated stores and buy up what you can! Anna’s products are moving forward and earning certifications to ensure customers know Eat Happy Kitchen can be trusted to be the best! She is still trying to get into other grocery store chains, however. (35:00) A recent medical journal article was sent to Vinnie. The article’s headline suggests people are poisoning themselves with semaglutides. Is that accurate? (42:00) The article suggests that several weight loss drugs were released before side effects were clearly understood. Movies, rom-coms, and Christmas movies vs. not Christmas movies?

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: Why Food Matters Dr. Philip Ovadia is a cardiologist and heart surgeon. Heart disease is still the number one killer in the United States. (6:30) Dr. Ovadia's first book is a best seller you can find in Vinnie's book club: Stay Off My Operating Table Even athletes in what appears to be extraordinary good health can still suffer from heart disease and cardiac arrest. (14:00) Heavy carb cycling or loading could be contributing to it. (16:00) How important is monitoring LDL only? (25:00) Small, dense LDL particles are important to monitor. Statins lower the large-particle LDL, which is the healthy form, but not the small-particle LDL. Insulin resistance and chronic inflammation are drivers of “bad” LDL. Dr. Ovadia explains how Repatha works. (30:00) He also explains some complications during its trials. A challenge of the Western medical system is that specialties have become too compartmentalized. (35:30) Pre-Order Dr. Ovadia’s second book. Pre-orders are important to the algorithm. (Stay Off My Kitchen Table) He shares a story about his friend and ghost writer, Joshua. (41:00) Pre-order Dr. Ovadia's book using this link: Dr. Ovadia explains the importance of knowing what food goes into your body and what it does (or doesn’t) for you. The vegan diet is propaganda. Dr. Ovadia explains. (54:00) Technology and testing methods have improved, and imaging is now clearer. Also, you may not be limited to dealing only with a local doctor; telehealth may now be available to you. You can also find Dr. Ovadia on socials and at iFixHearts.com.
