(2:30) They are available for purchase through Vinnie's Amazon page. https://tinyurl.com/captcrush Vinnie also likes to do "dead hangs", which is simply gripping and hanging from a horizontal bar for a good stretch. Anna shares a story to remind us that no matter where you live (United States, New Zealand, EU, etc.), you should read ingredient labels on packaged foods. (13:00) Vinnie has had neck pain for years and shares how he has managed it over time. (16:00) Three different doctors told him there was nothing he could do. Instead, he developed a system of stretches and exercises, and his pain has been significantly reduced. Vinnie also uses yoga blocks for his stretches. You can view and purchase them in his Amazon shop. https://tinyurl.com/ygablocks A side effect of statins can be frailty and muscle wasting. (26:00) A prominent NSNG® VIP group member, Scott, recently started gaining some weight back because of a change in his habits. Scott shared his story in the VIP group: he had recently tried GLP-1s because he felt he was struggling a bit. Vinnie isn't fully against certain meds; however, the downsides aren't advertised, and the consequences can be brutal. There is also concern that many of these peptides come from unreliable sources. (35:00) Amino Acids Is taking an amino acid blend helpful? (38:00) It can be; however, not all may absorb well in capsule form. If you can eat the whole foods that the blend comes from (chicken, eggs, etc.), that would be better. Anna has already received a review for her new cookbook. Five stars, baby!

He and his family have been NSNG® for quite a while and love it. He lost approximately 70 pounds, and his A1c is no longer at diabetic levels. His kids are on board, too! Starting kids at a younger age can help keep them healthier and steer them away from junk-food habits. (18:00) Mika is the next caller. (29:30) She shared how she heard of NSNG®. Social media has a lot of misinformation. They discuss ultra-processed foods versus eating real food, like a steak. (41:00) People also misunderstand how long-duration, high-intensity activity affects the body. This type of activity can require a different approach than an average workout. (45:00) Mika also asks about fasting. (49:45) Vinnie doesn't care to fast because he likes to get protein into his body first thing in the morning.

(3:00) Vinnie hopes everyone lives as long as possible with a high quality of life. (10:00) Over the years, many concerns have emerged about trends that could harm life and the environment. (11:00) One trend that has progressed and seems consistent is how sugar creates disease. But somehow now, influencers are saying low-carb is wrong. The poison is in the dose and frequency of sugar. (17:00) The invention of the CPG (Consumer Packaged Foods) has evolved into a "profit over people" model. (21:00) Convenience has been marketed in a manner that ultra-processed foods have taken over the market. Any kind of change can be tough, but you can work your way through it. (33:00) Single-ingredient foods are your best bet. People are recommitting to their health journeys before the holidays. (36:00) Go to Vinnie's website to get the NSNG e-book. (42:50) https://nsng.vinnietortorich.com/product/intro-to-nsng/ NSNG® 101 Lightning Round Questions for the lightning round: Stick to one-ingredient foods. Get rid of ultra-processed packaged foods. Cut out any sugars, wine, beer, bread, "keto" packaged foods like "keto bread", and sweeteners. What you *can* eat: meats like beef, pork, chicken and other fowl, game meats, fish and seafood. You can have non-starchy vegetables; however, Vinnie prefers cruciferous veggies the best. Fruits should be avocado, tomatoes, olives, and low-glycemic berries. Sure, other fruits can have nutrients, but if your goal is weight loss, avoid high-sugar fruits. Vinnie explains why white (and most other) potatoes should be avoided. Protein "health" bars are filled with junk. (54:00) They discuss how you can do an NSNG® lifestyle while trying to be vegetarian or even vegan. (58:30) Dairy depends on whether or not you are sensitive. If you are sensitive, you may gain weight. (1:00:00) Anna talks about her upcoming book, which is a beautiful party food book!

(3:00) Vinnie has established two rules for himself based on this. He never wants to risk wasting time. They discuss how much screen time people have, with multiple screens being viewed at once. (15:00) This leads to a discussion about storytelling and older movies. Vinnie spends as little time as possible on screen and on social media.

(38:30) The amount of sugar Tadej Pogačar reportedly consumes while racing is dangerous. Drinking too much water too quickly is dangerous, too.

(6:00) Which leads to a favorite game: "Stripper vs. NFL" Anna found an article about lab-grown mozzarella. (27:00) It has been cleared without FDA approval. New Culture declared its own ingredient safe under a legal pathway called self-affirmed as generally recognized as safe, and never needed a decision from the agency. Getting rid of cattle is a bad idea since they are ruminants and they keep soil healthy. (36:00) Anna reads an article that states artificial sweeteners are linked to a much higher risk of heart attack, stroke, or death. (40:15) Xylitol, often used in gums, toothpaste, and more, may lead to an increase in cardiac risk. They discuss other sweeteners, their effects, and downsides. (43:00) Go back to the rules: stick to whole foods, or real foods, not ultra-processed foods. (50:00) Anna is making her own mustard, and will be posting her recipe soon.

(21:00) Knowledge is king. Many influencers on social media promote practices that don't even make sense. (22:00) YouTube is a great source for learning, but you have to filter out the nonsense, too. C15 is a fatty acid; however, you can get just as much when eating grass-fed beef or butter. (32:00) Do fitness trackers work for obese people as well as non-obese people?

    Workout Recovery Matters - Episode 2848

    Episode 2848 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss how workout recovery matters to building strength and claims around a new supplement. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/09/workout-recovery-matters-episode-2848 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 Workout Recovery is Essential A little chat about Nickelback, breakups, and cycling. (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.

A large percentage were either rancid and/or adulterated with other oils. (44:00) Not all manufacturers may have known they were receiving adulterated oils. Anna shares some of the products on the list. If the product is "compositionally consistent with authentic oil", then the oil's rating was noted with a checkmark.

    The Third Rail with Dr. Gary Fettke - Episode 2846

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

(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.
