Calories in Coffee - Episode 2872

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Calories In Coffee COVID, coffee, and the millennial stare. 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. Anna noticed one in particular that claims to boost GLP-1. Don't fall for the grift! Anna's cookbook is a gem! Be sure to get it and ramp up your entertaining and menu offerings!

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! 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 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.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Obesity Science Gary has been writing about health for several years. He has written several books on low-carb and ketogenic lifestyles. He credits many others, including Robert Lustig, Jeff Volek, and Eric Westman. Both Vinnie and Gary have seen an increase in health issues, particularly weight gain, among younger and younger populations. Gary mentions a New York Times article that follows two sisters for a longevity study. He reviews how dietary advice has shifted over the years. Marketing of sugary cereals and orange juice also ramped up sales of ultra-processed foods. Generations of people were given the wrong advice for combating weight gain. There is a possibility of "fetal programming," which predisposes a baby to certain conditions like diabetes and obesity. But the message should *not* be to not even try to lose weight. What you eat and how your body responds hormonally makes a difference. It reminds you that you can't overeat anything, even healthy foods, without consequences. Even people on carnivore can overeat. They discuss testosterone and weight gain. Gary's next book (still in the works) is about the history of obesity science. He also has a Substack called "Uncertainty Principles," where he explores issues of good science and bad science. https://uncertaintyprinciples.substack.com/ Important Reminders Get Vinnie's e-book here: https://nsng.vinnietortorich.com/product/intro-to-nsng/ Don't forget to get Anna's new book Eat Happy Cocktail Hour!

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout The Power of No Vinnie shares how he got into coaching kids. Do good work and become even more valuable. Learn the power of saying no. Vinnie just read Sylvester Stallone's The Steps. Want to read it yourself? You can find it in Vinnie's Book Club here: https://tinyurl.com/slystllnebooksteps Just when you thought you knew his story, there is so much more. Stallone's story is also a prime example of the power of "NO." Non-sugar sweeteners. A recent study states that there's no statistical difference between water and sugar-free beverages (such as Diet Coke). Coincidentally, or not, the study was sponsored by the American Beverage Association, which includes soda companies. Unfortunately, people may believe this and think they can drink cola drinks without harming their health. Other sodas market themselves as healthy or "functional" drinks. One mixes its own "natural flavors," but uses things like cassava. The amount of processing even needed to make cassava sweet is suspect. The "Dirty Keto" documentary addresses these kinds of products. The marketing of these products is shady. Instead of even saying they are simply an alternative, companies market them as "healthy", which is misleading. Other Food Rules Kosher salt has its own rules. Organic is a term that can be compromised, too. This podcast isn't trying to scare you, but to help you navigate.

Sylvester Stallone has a new book out that Vinnie is enjoying. You can find it in Vinnie's Book Club here: https://tinyurl.com/slystllnebooksteps Anna shares that she sells her products at a local Pavilions during pumpkin spice season. Vinnie describes a two-hour consultation with "Joey Six Pack," a professional trainer seeking advice on fitness trends, particularly GLP-1 medications. GLP-1 drugs are portrayed as potentially helpful for starting weight loss, especially for people with significant weight to lose. Users should develop sustainable eating habits in case they eventually stop taking the medication. "Food noise" refers to persistent thoughts or urges surrounding food; the term reportedly became popular through GLP-1 user testimonials and media exposure. Is it truly a good idea to always suppress "food noise, since hunger is a natural biological signal? Highly processed carbohydrates, such as chips, are presented as foods that can stimulate appetite and encourage continued eating. Protein- and fat-rich foods, such as steak, are described as more filling and less likely to lead to overeating. An optimal diet includes meat, fish, chicken, eggs, dairy products, and vegetables—particularly cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and kale. Eating more protein is also recommended to support muscle development when combined with strength training. The central message is to limit junk food, prioritize filling whole foods, and establish healthy eating habits rather than relying solely on medication, calorie counting, or portion-control tricks. Remember, Vinnie's suggestions should not *replace* individualized medical or nutritional advice. Get Vinnie's e-book here: https://nsng.vinnietortorich.com/product/intro-to-nsng/ Protein Intake and Muscle Anna saw a question on X about increasing protein but not using it to build muscle through exercise training. Being on a GLP-1 should require increased protein and strength training, since a side effect is often lean muscle loss. Protein helps muscles build, but it will do little unless you stimulate the muscle to grow. Only work the muscles you plan on keeping! People struggle to understand that once you become fat-adapted (through lower carb intake and ketosis), your body automatically tamps down "food noise."
