Raised on Fake Foods - Episode 2875
Episode 2875: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss kids being raised on fake foods, false claims about meat and inflammation, and body positivity. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/10/raised-on-fake-foods-episode-2875 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

Chris reads through a study, and a statistic he found is a bit terrifying. Part of the information provided in the study reveals that 68% of the kids' diets were ultra-processed foods. It's only in recent decades that ultra-processed foods have become so prevalent that many people consider them "regular food." There is a difference between a "processed" food and invented, chemical-filled ultra-processed foods. In today's food climate, are we raising a generation of people who don't understand at all what real food is? A recent headline claims that meat consumption creates inflammation due to L-carnitine. This claim has been misrepresented, and scientists within the study have come out against the headline. It appears to be just another attempt to discourage eating meat. Body positivity movement. Where it started, but where it has gone astray. Some of the messaging has been good, but there are negative aspects as well. Messaging ranges from encouraging binge eating to stringent use of peptides and hormones in bodybuilding competitions. Now GLP-1s are being accused of being used to "genocide" fat people by one group from Harvard. Vinnie's website got a refresh!

Know Your Beef - Episode 2873
Episode 2873: Vinnie Tortorich and Jenni Harris of White Oak Pastures discuss regenerative farming, grass-fed beef, and why it matters to know where your beef comes from. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/11/know-your-farmer-jenni-harris-episode-2873 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase! Choose from a 2-day, 4-day, or 6-day workout, or buy all three at a discount! TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Back on the Farm Vinnie opens with the theme from Bonanza and Sam Elliott's famous beef commercial. Jenni Harris of White Oak Pastures joins the show. Her dad, Will Harris, has been a guest before. Vinnie and Jenni agree that factory farming is not the best way to go. Jenni finds real common ground with her vegan and vegetarian friends. Jenni and her sister are the fifth generation of Harrises to live and work on their farm in Bluffton, Georgia. After World War II, farming changed in three big ways: commoditization, centralization, and industrialization. Her grandfather took the farm from many crops and animals down to just cattle. In the mid-90s, Will Harris became disgusted with the commodity food system and decided to change it. Today, White Oak thinks of itself as a little functioning food system. Better Beef Vinnie and Jenni talk about Dr. Temple Grandin, played by Claire Danes in the movie about her life. Temple designed the holding pens at White Oak's processing plant so animals move through stress-free. Vinnie explains, from his deer hunting days in Louisiana, how a stressed animal's meat tastes different. To White Oak, a factory farm is not about size. It's a lack of complexity. Jenni explains the difference between commodity and regenerative products. Grass-raised and grain-finished, or grass-fed all the way? Grain finishing speeds up the time it takes an animal to get ready for harvest. Her dad compares it to chaining a child to a couch and feeding them nothing but potato chips and candy bars. Grass-fed animals keep moving and grazing and gain weight at a much more natural pace. You are what you eat eats. Keeping the Farm Alive How does a farm like White Oak make a living? Jenni says the average farmer is in their 60s, and many farms are selling out. White Oak added processing, branded its product, ships direct to consumers, and welcomes thousands of visitors and workshop guests. Jenni left for Atlanta, then came home to be White Oak's marketing manager. What they lack in profitability, they make up for in quality of life. Vinnie, a die-hard Hallmark Christmas movie fan, says Jenni's story is straight out of one. Showing cattle in 4-H teaches kids real responsibility. Will Harris wanted to create an opportunity, not an obligation, for the next generation. Where's Your Beef From? Vinnie asks about beef labeled "Made in America" that could have come from anywhere. Mandatory country of origin labeling for beef was rescinded in 2015. Imported beef could then be repackaged here and labeled "Product of the USA," at a fraction of what it costs to raise an animal in the United States. Jenni calls it the single biggest event that decreased White Oak's volume. Since January 2026, imported beef can no longer be labeled "Product of the USA," but it doesn't have to name any country either. For now, the way to know is to know your farmer, though Congress is talking about bringing country of origin labeling back. Why it matters: there's a saying that a nation that can't feed itself can't really call itself free. Farms are being sold off for development and data centers. Vinnie talks about his friend Mike Rowe's podcast on producing more energy here at home. Vinnie explains why his vitamin company makes everything in U.S. factories, with third-party testing. A Special Offer Jenni started earning her paycheck when she launched White Oak's e-commerce. Vinnie has partnered with White Oak Pastures. White Oak Pastures has a discount code, VINNIE, that gets you 20% off your first order. Go to WhiteOakPastures.com to order. Vinnie will also send the details to his email list. Vinnie recommends the series Lioness.

Speaking of coffee: between 2003 and 2018, people are getting more calories from coffee. The increase in calories appears to be from non-diary creamers. Vinnie had certain expectations when he was dating. Buying better coffee makes a difference; you're less likely to "need" to fill it with junk creamers. Chris has a question about fasting and autophagy. Fasting has benefits, but it doesn't necessarily work long term. You still have to learn proper eating habits. Cycling hard for an hour can have a better autophagy signal than 72 hours' worth of fasting. Jaspr has a discount code, VINNIE, that gets you $350 off through the end of November.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Avoiding the Grift Anna has a Spotify list that goes along with her Eat Happy Cocktail Cookbook. Both Vinnie and Anna deal with the internet and marketing "grift." How can you avoid the grift? AI adds to the grift because of AI-created content. Vinnie always tries to be mindful about screen time, and now, because of the constant grift, he's trying even harder. He's also got long days in the car planned and sets himself up for success while on the road. Olive Oil products and blends. They discuss canola oil and sunflower oils. Both go through a heating process that makes them inflammatory. Adding a small percentage of olive oil isn't going to make them better. Notice how you feel after consuming them. Many people don't even realize how they feel because they are eating so many processed foods that they are unaware of the differences. Prices are all going up, across the board. Anna plans to go back to direct-to-consumer on the East Coast due to shenanigans by grocery stores. They play a hilarious clip of an SNL skit about biohackers and grifting to expound on the idea. More discussion of well-known grifter-type influencers. The beverage industry has expanded way beyond sodas, too. "Protein sodas" are becoming popular, but they really are just nonsense.

Live from Jaspr House - Episode 2870
Episode 2873: Vinnie Tortorich and Jaspr founder Mike Feldstein discuss clean indoor air, building a business around giving, and an early Black Friday deal for listeners. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/10/live-from-jaspr-house-mike-feldstein-episode-2873 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club 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 Live from Jaspr House Vinnie drove to Austin, Texas, to record in person. It's only the second time in the show's history that he has recorded outside his own studio. He first had Mike on the show after the California wildfires, when he was looking for a way to get smoke out of a home. Mike describes Jaspr House, a home on Lake Austin where the team gathers, hosts partners and events, and gets together every Friday. It has a 20-person sauna, and Vinnie found a cold plunge and an assault bike out by the water. Jaspr recently hosted a team jiu-jitsu invitational right on the property. Eight teams of four, 32 competitors from all over the country, and a $20,000 cash prize. It started with Darren, who applied for a customer support job. Mike built his schedule around his jiu-jitsu training. Darren also gifts Jasprs to local jiu-jitsu gyms. Mike calls Jaspr an air education company that happens to make the world's best air scrubber. The Business of Giving Vinnie points out that most bosses would tell an employee to chase their dream on the side. Some brands spend $50,000 to $100,000 a day on ads. Mike would rather put that money into helping people and doing impactful things in the community. Vinnie compares it to Patagonia, except Jaspr is doing it from day one. Jaspr gifts air scrubbers to schools and covers the filters. Mike mentions a study in Finland where absences dropped by almost 30% after air purifiers went into classrooms. Vinnie shares a story about Paul Newman giving away his Rolex. If you can't give something away, you don't own it. It owns you. Jocko Willink's team flew in from San Diego to compete in the invitational. Vinnie's Jaspr Story Vinnie drove 23 hours over two days to get to Austin. He has two Jasprs at home, and the one in the bedroom has made a big difference in his wife's snoring. He retells his Concept 2 rower story. After a full year of rowing, the rower was almost perfectly clean inside. The dust was in the Jaspr's filter instead. He now leaves it on 24 hours a day. Mike says it costs pennies a day to run. Even with construction going on upstairs, the house has no dust. Jaspr House has a Jaspr in nearly every room. Why Indoor Air Matters Jaspr launched in May 2020, and its first 1,000 customers were doctors and dentists. Dentists in Ontario had to put an air purifier in every room, and a stronger unit meant less time between patients. Mike's background is wildfire smoke, hurricane cleanup, and mold remediation. Cities treat our water, and many of us filter it at home, but nobody filters the air. Mike says the average home they test has air 5 to 10 times dirtier than the outdoor air. Homes are built so tight that, without filtration, the air sits like a stagnant pond. Jaspr's logo is a tree because nature already makes great air. When Vinnie and Serena moved to Virginia, they refused to buy a newly built "formaldehyde home." Air, water, food, and sunlight come first. Supplements build on top of that foundation. One side effect of owning a Jaspr: you might become an "air snob." Vinnie admits he was completely skeptical at first. Mike explains his gifting approach with the story of the oak tree and its 10,000 acorns. Vinnie shares how he started Pure Vitamin Club at his kitchen table to make the world's purest vitamin. An Early Black Friday Mike explains why Jaspr saves its biggest discount for this time of year. Two years ago, they sold out for over three months. Jaspr filters are moving to coconut carbon, and new filters will have white end caps instead of turquoise. If your Jaspr ever breaks, they ship you a brand new one. If it isn't a game changer for you, they'll buy it back at full price and cover the return shipping. Jaspr has a discount code, VINNIE, that gets you $350 off through the end of November. That's $50 more than Jaspr's Black Friday deal. After November, code VINNIE still gets you $200 off. Go to Jaspr.co for more information or to purchase. The first 10 listeners who share their Jaspr story with the Jaspr team will get a free filter. Vinnie loves archery, and Mike is building an archery range

Scott King, a long-time follower of NSNG®, shared some very heartbreaking news. He's grateful to have discovered Vinnie and Anna. Vinnie shares what he's been observing with some construction workers, even younger ones. There seems to be no middle ground in health and fitness anymore. Either people seem to be drugged up on meds to get fit, or there is an increase in morbid obesity. There is no cure for autoimmune diseases, but they can be managed. NSNG® is how Anna manages hers. Vinnie gets comments on some of his Instagram carousels, but many people have an ideological attachment to ways of eating. Vinnie mentions friend Bryan Bishop, who recently passed away from a glioblastoma. He had been given a prognosis of 4 to 6 months to live. He lived for approximately 17 years longer. Bryan was on specific medications and often tried to stick to a low-carb diet, Vinnie explains. Messaging around certain conditions and diets can be confusing and frustrating. AI Faux Influencers AI influencers or personas with fake credentials are now becoming common. Fabricated info is horrible and manipulative. They discuss various things they have seen that have been fabricated by AI. Blueberries and the Rhonda Kirkpatrick confusion. Anna reads some of the points made and the apparent controversy.
