• Death By A Thousand Cuts - Episode 2716

  Episode 2716 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss "misinfluencers", protein "coffee", how sugar is death by a thousand cuts, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/10/death-by-a-thousand-cuts-episode-2716 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  Death By A Thousand Cuts A recent article from the EAT-Lancet group lists nutritional experts in the low-carb, pro-animal protein space as "misinfluencers." (3:00) Vinnie always checks the source of an article before he even reads it. If it's Harvard and Walter Willett, you know the study is likely biased. (6:00) The lack of objectivity isn't shocking. (8:00) You can book a consult through his website at vinnietortorich.com using this link. >>> https://vinnietortorich.com/phone-consultation-2/ You can also see the link in the menu bar near the top of his website. He is here to help you, not scold you! They chat about golf. (26:00) They return to discussing consultations as well as food labeling. (32:00) Starbucks is experimenting with new protein-infused versions of its coffee drinks. You're not saving yourself by adding protein to a high-carb flavored drink. (39:00) Having that amount of sugar frequently is death by a thousand cuts. They discuss the recent criticism of the fitness and health of our military. (46:00) Chris explains his thought that Pixar's Wall-E should be looked at as a warning. (52:00) Weighted vests are all over social media. (53:00) First of all, do not run in a weighted vest. Weighted vests can be beneficial, but they do not necessarily fulfill all the claims being touted. (56:00) Serena will be adding some of her clothing suggestions and beauty product suggestions to Vinnie's Amazon Recommended Products link.  Self Care, Beauty and Grooming Products that Actually Work!

• Allowing Your Body to Function - Episode 2715

  Episode 2715 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss people "eating through the GLP-1", allowing your body to function properly, and misleading labels. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/10/allowing-your-body-to-function-episode-2715 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast  Allowing Your Body to Function The podcast platform is inserting ads for GLP-1s into his show. (3:00) He can't necessarily control what ads are placed. Vinnie doesn't advocate for the use of GLP-1s because he feels the side effects aren't worth it, especially since weight loss can be done naturally. Another problem is that some people "eat through the GLP-1." There is a tendency to overeat or continue to eat junk foods because they think the GLP-1 will offset the poor eating habits. Changing your lifestyle is a journey that may have challenges; however, a low-carb approach is the most effective because it allows your endocrine system to function as it was designed. (13:00) People ask what they can eat without impunity. (18:00) The answer is NOTHING. People often add things that they don't necessarily need; bulletproof coffee, for example. Certain foods affect hormones like leptin and ghrelin. (30:00) Once you stick to NSNG for 30 to 60 days, you can start to feel differences and develop the habits. (33:00) Misleading Labels Anna reads some ranch dressing labels. (36:00) The ingredient list is mayhem and misleading. By comparison, some of the ingredients are illegal in other countries and have also been known to cause cancer, such as titanium dioxide. Anna will be posting videos giving a rundown of other labels on her Instagram and TikTok, @annavocino. Anna is learning to make her own Greek yogurt, and it is amazing!

(4:00) Vinnie gets on a skating kick. (8:00) Brandon is the first call-in guest. (13:00) He had a severe injury to his knee, but surgery was denied because his body mass index was too high.

(41:00) Edward Bernays is considered the godfather of public relations, and he changed the rules of marketing.

(54:00) The second caller is Chris. (58:30) He found Vinnie a while back; he brought up a lawsuit against the makers of LMNT electrolytes. The product claims to have no sugar or sweetener, but after being challenged, that is allegedly not true. Chris chats about the big changes that occurred in his life over the past four years.

• Agreeing With Vegans - Episode 2713

  Episode 2713 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss PETA's recent messaging, agreeing with vegans on some points, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/10/agreeing-with-vegans-episode-2713 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN There is no video for this specific episode. We're sorry for any inconvenience. Agreeing With Vegans Movie chat (2:00) PETA has a new marketing strategy. (7:30) There is a "starter kit" to become vegan, even for your pets. Chris goes over some of the PETA ideology. (22:00) They have walked back some of their claims and reworded things on their website over time. Ironically, pet shelters run by PETA are not necessarily no-kill shelters. (24:00) Vinnie agrees that factory farming is horrendous, as is industrial dairy; real whole foods are important, as is the environment. (26:00) However, forcing carnivorous pets to be vegan is its own form of cruelty. (31:00) Neighborhood watch groups and gossip. (34:00) Newest weight loss fad: GLP-1 patches. (38:00) However, they don't contain GLP-1s. They do claim to have ingredients that act similarly to a GLP-1. A patch being effective seems unlikely. Texas A&M conducted a study that tested animal protein vs. vegan protein. (44:00)   If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, it will be reopening soon.
