Episode 2665: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss an intro to Vitamins 101, and the what and whys of taking supplements. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/07/vitamins-101-episode-2665 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - All the Feels Humans have an emotional recall with music and food. (2:00) An example is pumpkin spice around Thanksgiving. It can work in reverse, too: people can have an aversion to junk food after being NSNG® for a while. They discuss other methods that are used to enable or modify behavior, from marketing tactics to “people movers” in Vegas. Chris doesn’t miss air conditioning since he’s been living out of the country. (12:00) They switch to discussing the importance of getting a proper vitamin intake. Vitamins 101 Why electrolytes? Almost everyone is at some level of hydration. (16:00) But there is such a thing as over-hydration, which can cause hyponatremia, or low sodium levels in the blood. (18:00) So many people are afraid of salt, but they don’t necessarily need to be. (22:00) Salt is needed by the body as part of its functioning. Sweating, even only small amounts, and exhaling cause you to lose electrolytes. (25:00) You should take them, especially if you are active. Multi-vitamins: Do you really need them? Yes, it’s difficult to get a good range of vitamins from food only—it’s a daily insurance plan. Vinnie shares why he has a separate B12 in addition to B vitamins in the multivitamin. (37:00) Some brands don’t break down in your stomach properly due to some of the ingredients. (44:00) Other brands often use the synthetic, or non-absorbable, versions of vitamins. (46:00) Magnesium Most people are deficient in magnesium. It can help with how you feel and how you sleep. (47:30) Certain varieties of magnesium can cause a laxative effect if you consume too much. Pure Vitamin Club uses a broader spectrum of magnesium.

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.

Being Lied To and The Sugar Diet - Episode 2662
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.

Marketing Snow Jobs - Episode 2661
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!
