(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. Always advocate for yourself.

(2:00) Even legal steps taken in other countries don't necessarily have the systems in place to enforce regulations. 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.

(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.

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 Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout 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.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout The Economics of Groceries Vinnie has been battling a virus, but don't worry—he's winning. (2:00) Grocery store pricing appears to be an "egg collusion" going on behind the scenes. (4:30) The quality of eggs matters, in the long run; however, do what you can. (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. Don't be fooled by all the "protein" additives. It's all a lie.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout 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?

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 Tablehttps://amzn.to/3SelRrs 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: https://ifixhearts.com/books/ 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.

(3:00) Is alkaline water helpful, or is it a scam? (16:30) The likelihood that it actually does anything is slim to none. Trying to add extra hydrogen molecules doesn't seem likely to do anything. In addition, sometimes solvents are added to water to make it more alkaline. They discuss other health claims that have been inflated. An element that will make a difference in your health is good-quality magnesium. (26:00) Vinnie shares how magnesium has helped his father over the years. Hidden ingredients are often in vitamins through the use of "proprietary blends." (56:00) Just like "natural flavors" in foods, ingredients can still hide chemicals and bypass the need to be listed separately. Anna's products are now linked to PureVitamin Club's website.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Reclaim Kids from Tech NOTE: This discussion speaks about various violent crimes. Parental discretion is advised for children. Dr. Lisa Strohman is a clinical psychologist, attorney, and author. Distractions have increased, especially as cell phone cameras have improved. (3:00) In addition, social media is a major challenge. At the same time, most people don't understand how AI actually works. (17:30) This raises an important question: What are we giving up for convenience? Critical thinking skills are being diminished. Writing by hand activates the brain's neural pathways; in contrast, AI encourages a more passive state of the brain. Dr. Strohman researched the Columbine tragedy in 1999. (34:00) Concerning trends show signs of increased narcissism, reduced empathy, and lower levels of oxytocin (a key bonding chemical). (36:00) As a result, many kids raised on tech and social media place less value on other humans, and certain apps make this worse. News spreads instantly, and memories of current events fade quickly as the next story replaces them. (47:00) Negative interactions are increasing; let's refocus on teaching how to be good humans. Society leans heavily on tech because it's easy; however, that's not necessarily a good thing. (1:05:00) Remaining Vigilant Safety settings on social media and other platforms are largely an illusion. (1:08:00) Dr. Strohman's team participated in a product liability case against Meta, involving the grooming of minors. (1:10:00) Pornography changes the brain in a harmful way. Another key point is that ads are deliberately targeted at children as young as 8, unless parents are extremely vigilant about filtering. Other high-profile violent cases are discussed. Again, parental discretion is strongly advised. (1:18:00) Dr. Strohman is working to restore control to the parents. "Harmless tech" is not harmless.

(3:00) We can all do better, encourage each other, and be an example. The American Journal of Public Health recently published an article that highlights the connections between the marketing approaches of Big Food and Big Tobacco. (13:00) Lunchables are marketed as having a good amount of protein; however, the breakdown shows otherwise. (19:00) Big Food's entire goal is to get you addicted to their products. (28:00) You can find a book focusing on this topic in Vinnie's Book Club on his Amazon page. The book is "Salt, Sugar, Fat" by Michael Moss: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DF5QS3H?linkCode=ssc&tag=vinnitorto-20&creativeASIN=B07DF5QS3H&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.DLRU885XQ4BV&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfvinnietortorich_109ME21EYG8380MBNX34_asin It appears that the American Heart Association finally agrees with what Vinnie has been saying for years: exercise is a poor way to lose weight. (43:00) Exercise is king for health and longevity! However, you need to eat real food, too. Another epidemiological study on meat consumption; however, it compares processed meats (like salami, pepperoni) to white meat, such as chicken (not processed). The comparison is off, so the outcome is off. (50:00) For a recent study on drinking tea, the article included all kinds of caveats, but the article about meat did not.

(4:00) They exchange stories from the early days of their careers; much of it was based on hard work and lucky timing. Both are in the business of helping people get strong and healthy. The carrot the client is looking for: losing weight, being lean, and being strong, so focus on that. Also, the "healthy" trend in the 1980s was high-carb, low-fat dietary rules. (22:00) Many doctors are tired of "sick care" and are now offering concierge services to help people get truly healthy again. (35:00) Both Vinnie and Ben have been approached by doctors who want to know more details about their fitness business. If you are aiming to be in the fitness business, know what you're doing with good, solid evidence. (47:00) Just start with a small idea and look for opportunities. The plan shouldn't be to get rich; the plan should be to help people. Be willing to work hard, do good, fair, and honest work. Don't wait for opportunity, create it.

(6:00) He's been taking creatine and increasing his protein ratio. Curb expectations when starting low-carb: initial weight loss can be rapid due to water loss from inflammation, but it will slow. (24:00) Vinnie doesn't like to judge other trainers, but…. (27:00) He witnesses BS bro-science all the time at the gym and gives an example of it. Be careful of bro-science; you don't want to be canceling out your efforts. Vinnie posted on social media about a study comparing fat burning to carb burning in elite athletes. (35:00) It has been shown that high sugar diets can affect memory. (53:29) There is a lot of bro-science and "hacks" out there, but it all boils down to the fact that none of it helps if you're not taking control of your diet and exercise. Consistency matters.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Rising Rates of Cancer Keeping strength up as you age is important. (10:40) Grip strength can be an indicator of health, and it can be measured. Why not do something simple that will help your strength? Obesity is a large driver in increasing cancer rates in people under 50 years of age, especially colon cancers. (28:00) Exercise improves certain biomarkers in kids. (33:33) Parents can help at home by keeping junk food out of the house, but ultimately, kids need to decide for themselves. Speaking negatively to them about weight issues can cause different problems. Carbs like bread, pasta, and grains can cause weight gain, even when keeping below a caloric range. (44:00) Calories in, calories out is not the end-all, be-all. Even eating low-carb can cause you to gain weight if you're adding too much to a meal.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout A Cholesterol Conundrum Vinnie recently posted on social media about the Women's Health Initiative. (3:00) The problem with Google is that you can "Google yourself right," so you can always find confirmation bias. There is a growing awareness of what constitutes a "clean" product. (17:00) For example, Anna's spices do not have fillers, preservatives, or anti-caking agents. Vinnie shares a story about a recent consultation. (28:00) CAC scans (calcium score test) are a great guide to see if heart disease will be an issue for you. Repatha was recommended even though the patient's numbers were great, and his calcium score was zero. Consider exploring natural supplements and lifestyle changes to manage cholesterol. The Cholesterol Code movie by Dave Feldman provides good information on cholesterol levels and the benefits of a low-carb diet. Anna goes over some bloodwork numbers and wants to discuss with her doctor. (50:00) Remember that the number ranges given in the results are representative of the general population. (52:00) It is often recommended to take CoQ10 alongside a statin. Statins deplete CoQ10, which can lead to muscle damage. Anna's products are now linked to PureVitamin Club's website.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Peptide Differences Vinnie is not above changing his mind if he gets new, reliable information. (4:00) Some forms of GLP-1s caused weight loss, but up to 60% of that loss was lean muscle mass, which is detrimental to health. (12:00) Different brands focus on different goals; however, weight and muscle loss can vary across brands. If you lose weight naturally, without assistance from GLP-1s, you may lose only 15-25% of your muscle mass. (15:00) The best thing doctors can do is also teach people how to eat properly, as the likelihood of staying on a weight-loss drug long-term is low. It is recommended that you start working out on Day One of your program. Don't wait until after you lose weight. (23:30) Recommend protein intake. (27:00) The older you are, the greater the challenge of keeping muscle mass. Eggs are an excellent source of protein. (37:00) Whole milk is associated with lower rates of childhood obesity. (40:30) A recent study from the U.K. came up with a health suggestion that seems a little iffy. (50:00) The liver is a meritocracy. (55:00) Sucrose and fructose affect the liver differently, but neither is good for the liver.

(3:00) Dave is an engineer and citizen scientist who has studied cholesterol for years. (5:30) It is a great documentary that addresses high cholesterol in an easy-to-follow manner. It also addresses the benefits of the ketogenic diet and how it may affect people differently. Nick Norwitz is well known for his N=1 experiment in lowering his cholesterol through a dietary regimen. (17:00) Dave explains Nick's experiment and the significance of the results. The experiment is not advocating eating junk food. It was a comparison and a data collection method. They discuss Dave's passion for doing a deep dive into cholesterol to create the documentary. (31:00) It took a while for Dave to convince others that it was a study worth doing. Lundquist and Dr. Matthew Budoff spearheaded the study. The study had 100% completion rate with 100 participants. Dr. Richard Bernstein was a T1 diabetic who decided to monitor his own blood sugar regularly and developed a system to do so. (58:00) But he was dismissed because no doctors believed people would bother to measure their own blood several times a day. But now both the study data and the documentary The Cholesterol Code are available, and people can become better educated.

(8:00) Vinnie shares what processed versus ultra-processed foods are. (9:00) Ultra-processed foods damage your focus even if you otherwise eat healthy. A recent study in Australia measured the effect of processed foods on ADHD. (12:30) For every 10% increase in ultra-processed foods, there was a measurable drop in people's ability to focus on cognitive tests. A 10% increase on average was equivalent to that sandwich-sized bag of potato chips! The FDA has stated that up to 70% of children's diets come from ultra-processed foods. (20:00) New York has rolled out a pilot program to reduce UPFs, and although it's early, the results are impressive. They discuss "Postum propaganda" from decades ago. (25:00) Some of the recommendations for schools, although they aim to move in a better direction, still need to include more real protein and healthy fats. (35:00) Your body can have a type of "muscle memory" and "fat memory," and yo-yo dieting demonstrates this effect. (38:45) Approximately every seven years, every cell in your body has turned over. (40:00) But it turns out your immune system has a "memory" as well, and even though you may have lost weight, your body may still see you at risk. Vinnie is not a fan of GLP-1s because your body can get to a healthier point without having to take drugs. It may not happen as quickly as with drugs, but the side effects are not worth it. (41:35) The "no duh" award this week goes to the study that confirms getting a variety of exercise is good for you! (43:16) They discuss pickleball.

(2:30) Stimulation is the new sugar. Digital detoxes are necessary. (30:00) Vinnie shares what he recently observed at a skating rink. Social media and just watching others is not the same as experiencing life. Anna has been trying to break the habit of using her phone as a pacifier. Mind over Matter. (44:30) Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer did a study that reflected how the mind affects the body. Vinnie summarized the study in a recent Instagram post. After 50 years of study, the results demonstrated that "the limits we accept as biological are almost always partly psychological."

Episode 2797 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss how much protein is enough, the gym as a "third space" to hang out, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/05/how-much-protein-is-enough-episode-2797 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

High protein is good, but by how much? (3:30) It depends on how active you are and your lean body mass; Vinnie shares some guidelines. And yes, you can gain fat if you eat too much protein. Vinnie recently started measuring his protein intake and realized he wasn't getting as much as he thought. (13:00) It was easy to find more ways to increase protein intake. Are protein powders worth the cost? (17:00) There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but Vinnie recommends using it sparingly, except in specific instances. There are a lot that are bastardized; also, only use unflavored ones. There was a recent study that discusses contaminants found in many protein powders. (20:00) Overeating protein will cause the body to store a certain percentage of the excess as fat. (21:00) Vinnie doesn't believe in a rigid window for eating protein after a workout. (27:00) When you eat whole animal protein, you will feel more satisfied. (32:00) Protein powder by itself doesn't have the fats, vitamins, or minerals that whole foods do. Training women in perimenopause and menopause is a newer trend. Women are getting back into the gym to get stronger and fight menopausal symptoms. (37:00) Gyms as a "third space": is it a good idea?

Episode 2796 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the basics of glute exercises with a booty-building 101, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/05/booty-building-101-episode-2796 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Booty Building 101 Body trends have changed over time. Older bodybuilding aesthetics favored smaller glutes; modern culture/influencers popularized bigger butts. (4:15) Contrasts natural training for glute development with cosmetic surgery trends (e.g., BBLs) and criticizes the extreme social media fitness culture. Vinnie warns strongly against performance-enhancing drugs, peptides, and SARMs. There have been multiple deaths among young pro bodybuilders because these substances are dangerous. (12:20) These are key glute-building compound exercises. You may want to view the YouTube video to see some of the items they discuss. (21:00) Back squats (can be free weights or Smith machine) Leg press Lunges or Bulgarian split squats Deadlifts Hip thrusts/glute bridges (machine or barbell) Genetics influence results, but progressive strength training can build more glute muscle over time. Training glutes twice per week (three times is "overkill"), spacing sessions out (e.g., Tue/Fri or Mon/Thu). Training Guidance Here is some program guidance: Choose 3 exercises each session from the main list and rotate the order each workout. Do a "to-failure" style session once per week. In the other weekly session, train at about 85% effort (higher reps, stop short of failure). Avoid going to failure in every workout to reduce the risk of injury and burnout. Keep these techniques in mind (28:00) Slight toe turnout is OK (about 10–12%), not extreme "ballet" turnout. Keep heels planted; if ankle/hip mobility is limited, elevate heels slightly until flexibility improves. For lunges, avoid letting the knee travel too far over the toes; aim for depth limited by hip flexor mobility while maintaining safer alignment. Avoid "tucking" the pelvis like a ballerina; think "sit back" with glutes engaged. Deadlift basics: push through heels, keep the bar close. It should be rubbing your quads, and hex bars can make the pattern easier to feel. Ideas for travel/mobility tips for long drives: stop often, move/stretch, consider using a yoga mat, and do a brief activity (jump rope, jumping jacks, etc.). (31:30) DOMS (delayed-onset muscle soreness) is microscopic muscle tears largely from eccentric (lowering/lengthening) contractions, not lactic acid.

Relationship issues and the Pina Colada song. (3:00) Couples can have issues when each person doesn't treat their health the same way. (10:00) Sometimes, family or partners can engage in sabotaging behaviors because they are uncomfortable with themselves. (14:00) The reality is, you can not preach to others. It will not work. You can only take care of yourself. (16:00) The fiber craze is back, but now it's called "fibermaxxing." (23:00) The new recommendation from some influencers is over 100 grams per day, which is not only excessive but also unnecessary. Colon health is important, but "maxxing" on fiber is unnecessary. Psyllium husk is a gimmick. (28:00) The current nutritional guidelines suggest 25g for women and 38g for me; as a result, they do some math.

She notices that if she eats something off-plan, it can take her 10 days to get back on track without feeling the negative effects. She asks about cortisol testing. (32:00) Keto dried fruit is taking off. (38:00) Keto dried fruit is misleading. Dried fruit is basically sugar bombs. Just because something is labeled "keto" does not make it low-carb.

Even luckier, Vinnie has Anna's Eat Happy Kitchen products to level up his cooking. Discussing processed foods and certifications. (30:00) The difference between "processed" and "ultra-processed" foods. Anna's products are minimally processed, meaning they blend simple ingredients without fillers or chemicals. Ultra-processed foods are packaged foods that have multiple chemicals, preservatives, and fillers, and are often nutritionally depleted. Many people think they only eat 20% ultra-processed foods, but it may be as much as 70%. (33:00) There is nothing factual in the "nutritional panel" on most packaged foods, because the numbers are often tweaked. (36:30) There is more accuracy in reading the ingredients list.

(10:00) There are many tools to help with weight loss, some better than others. (13:00) A recent post by Vinnie revealed the goal of big food companies to develop foods that even GLP-1s won't stop cravings for. Kris is our call-in guest. (19:00) How can a person still kick ass while aging without having to try gimmicky things like meditation, stem cells, mushrooms, etc? There are three primary things to follow. Get quality sleep! Limit screen time, especially before bed, and aim for 7 or more hours of sleep. Give yourself a full recovery from your workouts. (33:00) HIIT training should not be done more than 2x a week. Recovery is also done with eating quality animal protein. Strong legs are an indicator of strength and longevity. (50:00) Rucking is considered Zone 2 unless you are going uphill a lot.

The quality of calories matters to your health. (8:00) What you eat determines what your body does. (11:15) There is a limit to how much you should eat, however. (12:00) Natural foods trigger satiety; ultra-processed foods mess with the body's natural signaling hormones. There are three types of hunger: homeostatic (physical), hedonic (emotional), and conditioned (social). (17:00) Food companies, over the years, have developed ways to keep you eating, even when your body isn't truly hungry. (27:00) Many foods trigger a conditioned response. The term "food noise" is all over the place. Once you get your hormones working properly through low-carb, "food noise" goes away. (31:00) The process isn't overnight, but it will happen. Dr. Fung offers his thoughts on "food noise." (33:00) So much of our eating today is driven by conditioned responses and activities paired with food. GLP1s Are Not Magic GLP-1 naturally occurs in the body, and certain foods like protein and fiber will trigger it properly in your body. But the medical doses administered pharmacologically are massive and squelch all hunger signals. The biggest problem with exogenous GLP-1s is the loss of your body's ability to learn and respond to proper hunger signals. (36:30) Another issue is that it can also dull *everything* else in life, too. (40:00) They are a tool, not a magic bullet. Oftentimes, when a person stops the drug, they often gain even more fat than before. (42:00) There is, of course, the concern of muscle loss as well. If you are already fighting sarcopenia and add GLP-1s, there could be serious issues to follow. (43:00) Vinnie discusses "eating through" both bariatric surgery and now the GLP-1 meds. (46:00) These drugs can be effective, but there is always a cost. They discuss the transition Weight Watchers made when it entered the GLP-1 market. (54:00) They discuss other peptides and whether or not they are beneficial. (57:00) They discuss other "miracle cure" trends. What you *can* do is trust real food!

(3:00) He recently watched a movie called "Soul On Fire," and shares its inspirational story. (17:30) Dental floss story and hippy toothbrushes. (31:00) Why is Zone 2 cardio so great? (38:00) Zone 1 is fine to start with if you've led a sedentary lifestyle. Zone 2 is optimal for many reasons and falls in the range of 70% through 79% of your aerobic capacity. There are many biological benefits to staying in this range, including mitochondrial health and blood health. Zone 2 can be used alongside VO2 Max training, especially if you are training for an event. VO2 max is defined as the maximum rate at which your body can use oxygen during exercise. (49:00) If you are starting from a sedentary lifestyle, do not jump into this type of training without a consultation from your doctor. Zones 3, 4, and 5 are more difficult and not meant for long intervals. (52:00) HIIT training is not meant to be done every day. Vinnie explains what a "quad" is and how he does it. (55:00) If you're using a device like a Fitbit or Garmin (or similar), what should you look for in your numbers? So that you know, those devices aren't always super accurate. They can help, however. If you are near a hospital and can have a stress test done, do it. Do not do VO2 max training without knowing your range, as determined by the stress test.

Matt also drinks flavored sparkling waters and has questions about "natural flavors." Jon is the second caller. (20:00) He has questions about 50K trail races and proper fueling. Training with protein and fat is good, but during the race, a steady trickle of sugar can work. There is no real need to eat gooey bars, gels, or any of that.

Episode 2779 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer talk all about testosterone, if more is necessary, getting your vitamins, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/03/all-about-testosterone-episode-2779 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout All About Testosterone Today is all about the use of testosterone and whether it's really necessary. (2:00) As we get older, testosterone drops; if you start it, it's not likely you'll get off of them because it's hard to stop them. "Free testosterone" seems to be a big indicator; that is, the amount that is available for your body to use. (21:00) There are always many questions surrounding peptides and hormone replacement. The advice Vinnie likes to recommend is to fix everything else with your metabolic health first, and then see if you still need it. (23:30) Often, the decline isn't age-related but diet- and lifestyle-related. (25:00) Vitamin D, especially from sunlight, contributes to hormone production, as do zinc and magnesium. Being obese has the largest impact on testosterone and metabolic function. (30:00) Lifting weights has a massive positive impact on your metabolism and hormone production (31:00). Quality sleep makes a difference! Just a three-hour difference in sleep can change levels in as little as a week. (32:00) Diet has the largest impact. The amount of fats, how many meals, and snacking—all of it can affect how (or if) your body creates enough hormones. (32:30) Magnesium is also good for building testosterone. (41:00) DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is derived from testosterone and can have effects on the prostate, hair loss, and more. (45:00) A good saw palmetto can help block the overproduction of DHT. As always, please do your research first. Creatine, when used in conjunction with heavy lifting, can be beneficial. Sleep affects many things, including leptin, ghrelin, and appetite. (56:00) Make sure you do your research before you decide on using testosterone. If your diet and lifestyle are optimal and you are still having issues, then maybe explore it.

Vinnie's messaging has been consistent through the years, and with much success. (14:00) His approach also helps train people with lifestyle changes. GLP-1s can help some people in the beginning, but without lifestyle changes, there may be long-term challenges if one tries to stay on the drug long-term. Another issue that GLP-1s can affect is creating a dulled desire for other things, like sex. (20:00) "Food noise" is a real thing for many people.

What are some definitions of perimenopause, menopause, and post menopause? (27:30) The gut is important for hormonal health because it helps break down hormones for use in the body. Vinnie shares a story about his Mom and why the idea of hormones doesn't always sit well with him. (32:00) There is a difference between birth control pills and the bioidentical hormones of today. Hormones play a significant role in multiple organ systems, including the heart, bones, and brain. Is testosterone replacement necessary for men or women? (44:00) You still have to lead a healthy lifestyle; hormone replacement isn't a band-aid for a bad lifestyle. Mitochondrial health also plays a big role. (49:00) Sleep is foundational to your metabolic health as well. (54:00) Vinnie asks about DHEA and whether supplementation is beneficial. (57:00) What are things we can optimize for our health as we enter perimenopause and andropause? (1:04:00) Fiber from food is helpful for the gut for various reasons.

What does "ergogenic" mean? (6:00) It is basically anything that enhances athletic performance. There are also "ergonomic" aids specific to equipment. Ergogenic aids are not always worth the packaging they are in. (12:30) However, consuming meat and eggs is ideal for getting protein. There are various other forms of protein powder, but they still aren't as good as meat and eggs. (17:00) Some clinical trials use injected forms rather than ingested forms. (20:30) There has recently been a lot of talk about NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). (25:00) The reality is, we don't fully know the efficacy of these things. Two ergogenic substances we know are helpful for performance are coffee and creatine monohydrate. (30:00) SARMS and peptides. (39:00) A new claim about GLP-1s is that they cause scurvy, which is typically a vitamin C deficiency. SARMS (selective androgen receptor modulator) and steroids are different. (41:00) The reality is that the boring way works. (52:00) Vinnie addresses a recent issue with UltraSalt.

(16:00) Another question: Why is whole wheat bread a "joke"? (35:15) The average person who is not metabolically broken can typically have bread or pasta on occasion and may not be affected by them. (35:30) However, if you are metabolically broken, you can't afford to eat carbs. (36:30) For example, Vinnie has had leukemia, so he is motivated to avoid most carbs. Dr. Thomas Seyfried is an advocate of this approach because it has potential in aiding in the treatment of cancer. (37:00) Reminder—it's OK to be uncomfortable—it always is when you are trying to learn new habits. Don't be afraid to establish new habits simply because it may be uncomfortable for a few days.

Episode 2770 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss getting the most bang for your buck when doing cardio and strength training, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/03/bang-for-your-buck-episode-2770 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Bang for Your Buck Vinnie had a consult with a woman focused on ultra-running who trains hard. However, the harder she trains, the harder it becomes to succeed. (2:45) Vinnie (and other coaches she has hired) has told her she's training too hard. She needs to focus on what she's doing when she's *not* in the game. (14:00) He uses his own training history as an example. Optimal training happens in Zone 2, low and slow. (21:00) Training with a planned "down" schedule helps your body recover better and build endurance. (27:00) The process is similar when doing anaerobic exercises (weight training). (28:45) It makes sense to scale up cardio, then bring it back down, but how does that work for strength training? (31:50) Vinnie's workouts follow a periodization plan, which allows for proper recovery between workouts. What should people be doing on their "rest" days? (37:00) Doing aerobics, like a good walk, is "active rest." Mobility exercises are an option as well. Pilates is good for strength, but it also works the body differently, so adjusting Pilates workouts may be necessary to accommodate weight-training workouts. Meaning, you don't want to focus on the same muscle groups two days in a row. (38:00) Vinnie advises what to do on your "off" days to get the most bang for your buck. (43:00) You can usually find used equipment on places like Facebook Marketplace. Interval training is also a good addition. (47:00) He explains what a "four by four" is, which is a form of HIIT (high-intensity interval training).

Compliance and scaling up manufacturing needs are important. Vinnie won't work with a company unless it is GMP- and NSF-certified. GMP is Good Manufacturing Practices. NSF is the National Science Foundation. Supplements can be suspect if they are manufactured in a facility without GMP or NSF practices. Certifications can matter and can also be abused.

(6:00) Vinnie and Chris review the components of Vinnie's 2-day workout video routine. The Nautilus Principle refers to a specific order and method of using Nautilus machines. (17:00) The Colorado Experiment demonstrated how quickly muscle mass could increase with workouts to failure. (20:00) There may have been nuance involved in measurement, but it was still an impressive outcome. Training or lifting "until failure" isn't for everyone—you need a partner who can spot you and guide you. (33:00) They discuss what exactly "failure" is. (42:00) Chris provides the play-by-play, and Vinnie demonstrates "going to failure" during pull-ups. Maintain proper form to prevent injury and improve results!

Episode 2766 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss stopping food noise while being surrounded by processed foods, diet noise trends, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/02/stopping-food-noise-episode-2766 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Stopping Food Noise Today's topic is the conversation around "food noise." (3:30) The term has gained traction since GLP-1s became more popular. "Counting culture" has also contributed—people seek ways to accommodate unhealthy foods. (5:00) They discuss popular snack foods, cravings, and weight gain. The best thing you can do is not bring those types of food into the house. They share stories about ice cream and eating it on rare occasions. (16:00) If you are going to do "Life Into Living," save it for something truly good, not some dumb junk food. For example, have a gelato when you are in Italy. (19:00) Important note: If you want to stop food noise, do not eat the food that causes it. (22:00) Processed foods are meant to trigger cravings and addiction. When you switch to a low-carb diet, the food cravings often lessen over time and can even completely go away. (23:00) Going low-carb naturally mimics the effects of GLP-1 without side effects. Food has become political rather than just food. (31:00) Various diets have also become a type of food noise. People labeling themselves have gained an almost religious fervor. Subsidized crops are used as filler in processed foods; as a result, real, whole foods are more expensive. (35:00) They discuss Instacart and its impact on in-store grocery prices. (37:50) They discuss money, time, resources, and goals to eat healthy, quick meals. (41:00) Start doing things yourself and stop mailing it out to everyone else. (50:00) Vinnie shares a story from mentor Joe Dean about what it means to "take the garbage out."

(2:30) He is the president of Alphacat Consulting and focuses on personal growth and authentic leadership, with extensive expertise in navigating both professional and personal transformation. The Hard-Hard is your "Why": what is the physical, emotional, spiritual goal, and working towards it. What does Bobby have as examples for what "Easy-Hard" means? (9:30) Bobby describes his health journey not just for weight loss but for overall wellness. (17:00) People are often afraid of hard things, and at the other end of the spectrum, others think that if you're not suffering, you're not working hard enough. (20:00) There is meaning in the middle: struggle doesn't need to mean suffering. Finding your why is important, but not for the reason of "keeping up with the Joneses." They discuss the meaning of "Riding the Tiger." (26:00) Vinnie prefers to be active because it helps open his mind to new ideas. (37:00) The longer you wait to start something, the harder it is to start at all, and the delay gets longer. (41:00) They discuss a type of "divine intervention." You have to find your own rhythm. (46:00) Don't buy into anyone else's dogma. (47:30) They discuss self-talk, beliefs, and visualization. (53:00) Don't let the world get in your way. (58:30) Always think about what's possible and don't let others discourage you! (1:03:00) Surround yourself with positive influences, not those who try to drag you down.

(4:00) Vinnie loves the 4-day routine. (13:00) It includes both "to failure" days and less-intense days that are still effective workouts. This allows you some flexibility. Childhood playgrounds of a couple of decades ago are very different than today's equipment. (18:00) Your body adapts over time; however, Vinnie explains that flexibility is built into the workout. (28:00) Life gets in the way, and missing a workout once or twice every 3 months or so won't be a problem. But if you miss more than that, you will not see the results you want. What about ab exercises? (33:15) Vinnie only does abs on pull days or leg days. The Winter Olympics are on, and this leads to talking about the sport of Curling. (38:00) The biggest mistake a person can make with these workouts is *not* doing them. (46:00) Find ways to make the most of your time. Use your time well. There is such a thing as *over* exercising. You need to have active rest days. (48:00) "Active rest" is movement such as walking, skating, or other activities between strength-training days.

Episode 2763- Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the adverse effects of GLP-1s, the dangers of muscle loss, and whether more fiber is necessary. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/02/dangers-of-muscle-loss-episode-2763 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Dangers of Muscle Loss Semiglutide update: hate to say "I told ya so..." 4:00) They discuss perpetual motion. (8:00) This relates to GLP-1 in the fact that there is nothing you can do that doesn't cause a consequence somewhere else. (11:30) Vinnie discusses dealing with his second bout of cancer a couple of years ago. He is determined to be as active and healthy as possible. Eating strict NSNG seems to have helped him fight cancer more than if he had not been eating clean. (12:00) If you lose weight the old-fashioned way through proper eating, about 20-25% of your weight loss will be muscle. (16:00) However, that can be offset with exercise, particularly strength training. With GLP-1, a person will lose at least 40% of their muscle mass. (17:00) This matters because a lack of muscle contributes to all-cause mortality, and you can die sooner. Sarcopenia (natural muscle loss) occurs with age, typically starting around age 35, but it can be significantly slowed with strength training. (18:00) The number one drug Vinnie used to get asked about was statins, but now it's about GLP-1s. (21:00) If a person is losing a lot of muscle on GLP-1s, you can bet it's affecting their heart, because the heart is muscle. (25:00) Anna shares some info she's heard recently regarding Dr. Ben Bikman. (27:30) Some Thoughts About Fiber There is also debate about fiber. (36:00) They discuss myths about fiber and whether it is as necessary as others have claimed. Anna shares a story that makes her super happy about her cookbooks. (46:00) Vinnie is trying a week off from eating cheese, but he's wrapping up the week with Anna's Cheese Bites for the Super Bowl. (48:30) They conclude the episode with a discussion of discontinuing GLP-1s. Talk to your doctor for the proper protocol. If you decide to continue GLP-1s, please start strength training to offset muscle loss.

(14:00) Switching to regenerative farming was a financially risky and challenging decision, but his farm has survived. (23:00) Large beef companies are allowed to import products from 20 other countries and still label them as products of the USA, under USDA labeling rules. (32:00) The labeling rules changed in 2015 through lobbying by major beef corporations. (34:00) Lobbying is rarely fair or reasonable because companies with deep pockets tend to prevail. (36:00) They discuss the new Food Pyramid. (39:00) Will Harris's farm, White Oak Pastures, has an online store that ships to 48 states. https://whiteoakpastures.com/ Vinnie has questions about ground beef.

(2:00) Don Coddington has issued a challenge to Vinnie: No Cheese February. (19:00) Vinnie can't quite commit to that stretch of time. Anna recently made an NSNG version of mozzarella sticks. (23:00) They chat about buying beef tallow. (25:00) When buying tallow (or lard), read the label to ensure it is pure and contains no fillers. Anna discusses going dairy-free. (30:00) Her Eat Happy Too cookbook includes many dairy-free recipes or ones that can be modified to be dairy-free. You can purchase it here: https://annavocino.com/eat-happy-too/ Reading labels for food is essential. (36:00) Many products use marketing tactics that are misleading but still fall within legal limits. (38:00) Turn the package over and look at the "Nutrition Facts"; however, those numbers can be tweaked and may misrepresent the packaged food. (39:30) Vinnie and Anna give the breakdown. The truth lies in the actual Ingredients list. Different sweeteners will be listed in a single ingredient list to avoid adding numbers to the Nutrition Facts Panel. (44:00) This practice is not limited to sugar; it also uses seed oils. Anna discusses how product ingredients are measured and scaled up. (51:00) Vinnie will be having a guest who discusses how beef production affects what you get. (55:00) Price can always be a factor, but do the best you can with what you have.

(3:00) She has been relatively inactive most of her life, aside from some hiking and kayaking; however, she wants to become more active, healthy, and strong. They discuss using CBD oil for pain relief. (6:30) And, as always, do your research. (10:30) Laura reports knee issues during exercise. (13:00) Stairclimbing can be done in a way to lessen any knee pain. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) and glucosamine can support joint health, but they must be taken consistently over time to see results. Laura struggles to get started on her workouts on some days. (27:00) Rowing is an effective exercise, and Vinnie offers suggestions. (28:00) The clicking sounds Laura hears when her knees "crack" are most likely nitrogen bubbles in her joints. (36:30) Laura has one final question regarding making kombucha. (38:30) Bobby is the second guest. (45:00) Bobby used to weigh over 350 pounds! Once he lost significant weight, he began wanting to gain muscle mass. He has DEXA results that he wants to address. They discuss heavy lifting, limitations, and goal adjustments, particularly to improve body composition and achieve a more defined look. Bobby encourages people to make a life shift because it will be worth it — if he can do it, anyone can!

Periodization is the structure of workouts into cycles: "macro, meso, micro." (12:30) Another way of saying this is: to change things up to keep things fresh. Vinnie goes deeper, using his 2-day routine as an example. (15:00) Periodization is a way to build strength by focusing on different parts of the body. (19:00) Another approach Vinnie uses is in his aerobic exercise. (23:00) Depending on his goal, Vinnie changes things up. How do you know when you should mix things up? (33:00) When you're not seeing much change happening in your strength, or when you're getting bored. (39:00) There is such a thing as changing things up too frequently as well. (41:00) If you feel like you are not making progress, it may actually be time to let up for a little bit, not necessarily grind harder.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout A Lazy Protein Guide After some Flashdance talk, Vinnie and Anna welcome their guest, actress Sarah Baker. (11:45) Sarah's question is what is the 'lazy' way to get more protein into each day. (14:00) It's better to eat protein at each of the three meals each day rather than cram it into one or two. Stay away from hemp and pea proteins. The best protein is whey protein. (20:00) There are three types of whey: standard, concentrate, and isolates. Vinnie recommends either the standard or the concentrate; isolates are bastardized because they are more highly processed. Casein protein also has a good amino acid profile. (26:00) What is the difference between bovine protein, collagen, marine collagen, etc.? (30:00) Plant-based proteins are not effective. (38:00) Colostrum is the first milk a mother provides naturally. (41:00) Please be aware of claims that say colostrum for adults has benefits. Vinnie hates diet culture and the push to record macros all day, every day. (50:00 How do you calculate how much protein you need? (59:00) Getting between .6g and 1g per pound of lean body mass should be enough. Be careful around the gym bros — they don't always give good advice. They finish with a talk about their favorite music and concerts.

(3:30) Going to failure every time is not a good idea. What is a "set" and a "rep"? (14:15) What matters is the amount of time under pressure. (19:30) Look at the rep's quality and keep your form correct. Is there a particular approach to starting based on gender, age, or other factors? (28:00) Age can be a factor, but experience is the real factor. Vinnie describes how to gauge if you are lifting enough weight for you. (29:00) How frequently are you supposed to hit each muscle group? (32:00) Hitting each group more than a couple of times a week is enough to gain strength. More isn't necessarily better.

(2:30) Get Vinnie's e-book because it's a good reminder of getting back on track if you went off the rails during the holidays, or, of course, if you are new to NSNG®. (6:00) You can purchase the NSNG® E-book for a small fee at https://nsng.vinnietortorich.com/product/intro-to-nsng/ What meats can you eat? What are the possibilities? (12:30) It's not required that you eat grass-fed or organic meats—eat what you can afford. Many times, you can find a local small farmer and buy a portion of beef or pork at a discount. What about processed meats like bacon, salami, and cold cuts? (18:00) How bacon is cured makes a difference. (19:00) Cold cuts can be acceptable on occasion, but they often have additives. Eggs are a fantastic food—completely nutrient-dense! (26:00) Good, real, whole milk cheeses, kefir, and full-fat Greek yogurt are all great choices. Don't be afraid of real heavy cream. Try to find one without any additives, if possible. Vinnie emphasizes that you can't eat *anything* with impunity, meaning you can't go rogue and overeat, even if you're eating healthy options. (20:00) Moving on to vegetables and fruits. (32:30) Leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables are your best bet. Onions and peppers are great, too. Enjoy savory fruits like avocado, tomatoes, and olives, but they also discuss citrus, berries, and eating fruit in season. (35:00) Nuts: High-fat nuts like pili and macadamia are the best; however, you can enjoy some others, but be careful—it doesn't take many to overdo them. (46:00) If you are trying to be vegan on NSNG, beans are a better source of nutrients than grains. If you are a vegetarian, eating eggs, cheese, and nuts is recommended to boost your protein intake. The Sweet Stuff They chat about "sweet treats." (53:00) Reducing your intake of sweet treats will change your taste buds for the better. Anna explains the intention behind including sweet treats in her cookbooks. They are meant to be just that—a treat for an occasion! Stay away from "grain-free" chips! They are made from ingredients like cassava and other root flours, which are very high in carbs.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK workout videos Cardio vs. Strength Training Where does a beginner start? (5:00) Just start with what you know you can do. If you are sedentary, start with a short walk and gradually increase it each time. Your aerobic vs anaerobic capacity is different things. (9:00) Vinnie gives a list of the variety of things that qualify as each. There are different benefits to cardio and strength training. (17:00) What is recommended? Picking one focus and sticking to it (for example, cardio), or finding a balance between cardio *and* strength training to start? (22:00) Vinnie shares his brother Mark's journey. (23:00) Sometimes, you really do have to start with "baby steps" and grow into the routine. Vinnie likes to consider Zone 2 (70-80% of your cardiac capacity) as cardio; however, if someone is starting, any walk will help them get started. (36:00) In strength training, it can be intoxicating to feel yourself get stronger. (39:00) You will feel the strength before you start seeing visible gains. (43:00) The Zones Vinnie describes the Five Zones; however, you only need to pay attention to four of them. (47:30) The calculation to find Zone 2 (with the Maffetone method) is: 180 - (your age) = desired heart rate, or beats per minute. If you are already active, you can add about five more points to the desired heart rate. Before starting any exercise program, it is highly recommended that you see your doctor first and have a stress test. If you are eating correctly, such as with NSNG®, exercise will help build lean muscle mass. (59:00) More is not always better; sometimes, more recovery is better. (1:01:00) Vinnie recommends 4 or 5 hours a week for cardio, unless you are training for a marathon or similar competition.

(3:30) Protein levels are better, but recommendations for fat macros are still off. Institutions will follow the written guidelines, which are not necessarily reflected in the upside-down pyramid graphic. Institutions, like schools, have contracts with Big Food companies, which will affect how closely they follow the guidelines. (12:15) Chris goes through some of the guidelines. (15:30) The fat intake recommendations are off, in Vinnie's experience. (24:00) Saturated fat is limited to 10% of all fats. (30:00) Vinnie believes these guidelines are good overall, but didn't go far enough. (33:00) Institutions, companies, congresspeople, and others would most likely push back on a larger sweeping change. Whole grains, packaged breakfast options, and processed foods are at the bottom of the upside-down pyramid, and rightly so. (41:30) Limiting ultra-processed foods and refined carbs is recommended. (46:00) No meal should contain more than 10g of added sugars. It even defines what "added sugars" are. The last point discusses sodium and electrolytes.

Episode 2747 - BEST OF: Vinnie Tortorich welcomes psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede to discuss how nutrition can create better mental health, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/01/better-mental-health-dr-georgia-ede-episode-2747 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's NSNG® VIP Group was opened on January 2, 2026!

Sugars and Oxidative Stress More kids than ever are presenting with psychological problems. (2:00) Vinnie mentions Robyn Dobbins, who openly shares how diet has improved her mental health symptoms. People are feeding their brains improperly. (4:30) There have been decades of misinformation, so treatment has been off. Everyone deserves the correct information upfront rather than having to go through multiple medications. (7:00) Georgia goes through her personal history and how she stumbled onto dietary health changes. Sweeteners have many side effects. (16:00) Sugar is the only addictive substance that society sanctions for children. (20:00) It is not only addictive, but it is also physically damaging to the brain because it creates oxidative stress in the brain. (24:00) Refined flours do the same by causing a glycogen load; as a result, your insulin is raised longer. (25:00) Most people are metabolically broken, so sugars and carbs are even more harmful. If your body "needs" sugar, your body will make it. Fats and proteins are essential, but carbs are not. (31:00) The FDA recommends a bunch of nonsense. And now our gut health is a topic that needs to be paid attention to. Better Mental Health Vinnie knows people whose adult kids are still having issues, but refuse to believe that diet can help. (38:00) Georgia always uses dietary interventions first, and she has found them to be the most effective for her clients (41:00) There are certain foods the brain needs. It's not just junk food that hurts, but also foods we've been told are healthy that aren't (like whole grains). Dr. Ede's book Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind addresses dietary therapy as a first step. (45:00) They discuss many different things that have been happening in the news, which are examples of declining mental health. (48:00) Vinnie asks how you get more N=1 cases on the books to demonstrate the advantages of diet and mental health. Changing your diet is a change for the better. You can find Dr. Ede at https://diagnosisdiet.com. You can also find a clinician's directory on her website. Another resource is the Charlie Foundation: https://charliefoundation.org The keto diet is safe, but there is still a transition, especially if you are on medication.

Episode 2746 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer answer essential questions about starting where you're at in your fitness journey, protein, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/01/starting-where-youre-at-episode-2746 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Starting Where You're At First: Vinnie's NSNG® VIP Group opens up January 2, 2026! Vinnie's workout videos, group calls, and supportive community are waiting for you, FREE to all members who join! What is the biggest mistake people tend to make going into a new workout routine? (3:30) People tend to quit going to the gym after only two weeks or so after signing up. They use excuses even though they feel better while exercising. DOMS (delayed-onset muscle soreness) is another reason people stop. (10:00) This feeling will happen less and less as you become more consistent and stronger. Start where you are and work up—you don't need to go hard right away. (15:00) Don't be intimidated by others and where they are in their journey. You don't have to go to a gym all the time. If you don't have time for the gym, try some body-weight exercises. (22:30) When to eat protein and how much? (32:00) In general: 120-150g per day for average-height men, for average-height women, 85g-120g per day. (32:00) It's OK if you go a little over on some days. Eating something in the morning boosts your metabolism. However, it doesn't take much. What about sleep and recovery? (36:00) How to become disciplined? (39:00) A lot of it is attitude, and your attitude can change. How do you know when you are doing enough, especially when you hit a "plateau"? (45:00) When exercising, plateaus happen when you don't change enough. Changing up the muscle stimulation will help. They discuss a "starting strength workout." And finally: Be careful with the bro-science you'll see and hear on the internet. (54:00) A New Sponsor Jaspr Air Scrubbers has a discount code, VINNIE, that gets you $400 off for a limited time.

Vinnie and Chris have a plan for the Wednesday shows that will probably take several episodes. (5:00) They will address questions specifically about exercise and creating habits that stick. There is also a plan to bundle shows and videos for availability, for a small fee. (26:00) Some good news: The New York Times reports on saturated fat, and it's positive, for the most part. (36:00) It's a fairly neutral article, but they still don't appear to advocate for meat. In general, mainstream reporting is tipping in favor of saturated fat after decades of cautioning against it. (42:00) The challenge is that fake vegan doctors give out wrong information, as Michael Greger does. For example, he demonizes eggs, which are superior in nutritional benefits. Vinnie gives health recommendations for vegans. (47:00) Vinnie, Chris, and all of us at the podcast wish you a wonderful Happy New Year and a prosperous 2026!

Episode 2741 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer welcome three callers to discuss their success stories, dialing it in, keeping on track, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/12/dialing-it-in-episode-2741 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Dialing It in First: Vinnie's NSNG® VIP Group opens up January 2, 2026! Vinnie's workout videos, group calls, and supportive community are waiting for you, FREE to all members who join! Vic is our first caller. (3:30) Vic bought a couple of Jaspr air scrubbers and is loving them. Vic has been a guest on a previous call-in show. He has a question about home scales that claim to measure BMI and body composition. (11:50) Vinnie gives him a mission to get a DEXA scan to compare the results with his Hume scale at home. He also has a question regarding paring down specific exercises when he is very limited in time. (19:30) Kurt is the second guest. (25:00) He had been doing CICO most of his life, but heard Vinnie on Adam Carolla and decided to try NSNG®. He experiments with reducing things like alcohol and dairy and has seen even better results. They discuss focus and staying on track. Brooke is next. (44:00) She relays some of her backstory and how she discovered NSNG®. She struggled with body dysmorphia over the years. (50:00) With NSNG, she has improved her life, and the struggles she had are gone. She's also become a health coach. (56:00) They talk about some of her poorer eating choices during her younger years, like Krab Delights, which (not surprisingly) has no crab and is filled with junk. She got over that habit.
