Episode 2879: You Can't Eat Anything With Impunity. Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer take a call from Blake, a longtime listener who did carnivore, then put 40 pounds back on.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout A Friday Call-In The intro song is "Call Me," and that means it's a Friday show: you call in, and Vinnie talks to you. (0:30) Why Vinnie loves the call-in shows. Sometimes it's a success story, and sometimes someone needs help figuring it out. (1:00) White Oak Pastures: grass-fed, grass-finished meat. Use promo code VINNIE for 20% off your first order at whiteoakpastures.com. (1:30) Blake's Carnivore Story Blake found Vinnie's podcast while he was doing carnivore. (4:30) His cardiologist warned him off all that fatty meat, he fell off the carnivore wagon, and he's put 40 pounds back on. (5:00) The good, the bad and the ugly of carnivore, going back to when Shawn Baker first came on the show. (6:00) If Vinnie had to eat one single food for a month, he'd pick the chicken egg. (6:30) There's nothing you can do with impunity, not even drinking water. That includes eating meat. (7:00) Palate fatigue: did Blake get tired of eating meat? (8:30) How life changes, from family to COVID, knock people off the wagon. (9:30) Blake's daughter lost 140 pounds counting calories. So does calories in, calories out work? (12:00) It works like a charm, as long as you're willing to white-knuckle it. (13:30) Level one is cutting out sugars and grains. Level two is eating less. Weight Watchers is the same protocol. (15:30) Make your calories count: most of them should come from fat and protein. (16:30) Remember when everything at Costco was keto? A "certified keto" label could go on a bag of sugar. (17:30) Jaspr, Donuts and Cancer Jaspr: get $350 off with code VINNIE at jaspr.co/vinnie. It's a pre-Black Friday deal, and Vinnie now has five Jaspr units at home. (19:00) Back to impunity: you can eat a dozen donuts and start eyeing the next dozen. (21:30) At 64, it's time to eat on point. (23:00) Why Vinnie, a cancer survivor, stays so strict on no sugars, no grains, and the work of Dr. Thomas Seyfried. (23:30) After his leukemia in 2007, all of Hollywood told him to drink wheatgrass. His doctor called that hoo-ha and said we'd be hearing a lot more about sugar. (24:30) Soap, Deodorant and Chili's Vinnie doesn't use regular soap or shampoo. He uses Packer's Pine Tar Soap and Grandma's lye soap. (28:00) Anthony Jay's book Estrogeneration. (29:00) Keep it minimal: a deodorant without aluminum. Vinnie uses Primally Pure. (31:00) How do you eat at Chili's? Two burgers on a plate with tomato and avocado. Skip the bun, the ketchup and the fries. (32:30) French fries: "It's an abomination." (34:30) The Doritos Test Don't count calories. Eat until you're sated, then stop. (36:00) The family-size bag of Doritos versus a 12-ounce filet at Ruth's Chris. (36:30) Why the chips send you looking for ice cream: leptin, ghrelin, cortisol and insulin. (38:30) The influencers say calories in, calories out doesn't work. It does, if you white-knuckle it. (39:30) The couple who lost 80 pounds by dropping their nightly bowl of ice cream. (40:30) Six Oreos fit Blake's calorie budget, but they're hollow calories. (41:30) Your cardiologist's fear of red meat goes back to a misconstrued study from the 1970s. Read Nina Teicholz's The Big Fat Surprise. (42:00) One 16-ounce ribeye a day worked for Blake. Bacon and eggs, two patties at lunch and a steak at dinner did not. (43:30) Have broccoli or cauliflower instead of Oreos. The plants are not out to kill you. (44:30) Dr. Gundry wants you to peel your tomatoes and take out the seeds. Are you kidding? (46:00) Villa Cappelli: the best olive oil on the planet. Use promo code VINNIE at Villa Cappelli. (46:30) The Mediterranean Diet Myth Which Mediterranean? Calabria, Sicily, Puglia, Sardinia, Greece or the Middle East? (47:30) Ancel Keys studied Crete during Lent, when people don't eat meat. (49:00) The Seven Countries Study cherry-picked its countries. Vinnie made four documentaries about that one lie. (49:30) How does the Friday show work? If the questions are good, Vinnie will talk to one caller for the whole hour. (51:00) Next Steps for Blake Blake gets Vinnie's PDF free. (54:30) The VIP group isn't open all the time. Get on the list for next time at vinnietortorich.com/vip. (55:30) Read Nina Teicholz first, then listen to Dr. Zoe Harcombe's episodes. The 10 for 10 podcast bundles. (57:00) Is there such a thing as bad cholesterol? Vinnie on small dense particles, and why your cardiologist needs to read the right tests. (59:00) Vinnie's take on statins, and who they were made for. (1:00:00) "You basically just had a consult that the rest of the world gets to hear." (1:01:30) Vinnie designed the vitamins at PureVitaminClub.com, and everything is third-party tested. You'll find Pure Coffee Club coffee and Anna Vocino's products there too.

(9:45) Chris reads excerpts from an article about "celebrity flexes," particularly "bendy bragging." (15:30) ACC—the American College of Cardiology put out a press release that advocates for exercise to be mandatorily prescribed for cardiovascular care. (24:00) This is important since exercise is the fountain of youth and helps with metabolic health. There are ways you can set up your own mini-gym at home for a low cost. And of course, there are many ways to exercise for free, like walking or running, and bodyweight exercises. Chris gives the bullet points that the ACC recommends. (32:00) Wearables (like Apple Watch, Oura ring, etc.) can help track your activity. Fitness trends and trackers: (40:00) Zone 2 Cardio, protein-forward eating, and strength training are all things Vinnie has been advocating for years. "Sober curious" trend and mocktails are gaining in popularity to lower alcohol intake. (46:30) Magnesium for sleep is beneficial. Rucking is good, but people don't always approach it well. They start with too much weight, or run with too much weight. (53:00) Mouth-taping is a trend, but there are concerns.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Course Correction Needed Vinnie is prepping to go on other podcasts so he can teach more. (10:00) Pre-interviews are a thing, apparently. Anna has run into the same thing for shows, but she never regrets participating. Vinnie had a pre-interview recently and wished it had been recorded because the conversation was so engaging. Anna demonstrates her voice-over chops by doing a Pure Vitamin Club for Vinnie. (27:00) There are two television shows that demonstrate the extremes in fitness. Between ultra-sports and binge eating, a "fitness middle class" seems to be disappearing. Vinnie wants to bring back the "fitness middle class," and shares what he means by that. (34:00) Dr. Robert Lustig's video from a few years ago discusses the impact of sugar on metabolism, especially in children. https://robertlustig.com/sugar-the-bitter-truth/ If the cost of health care feels overwhelming now, it's only going to get worse if society doesn't course-correct now. People get attached to hyper-palatable ultra-processed foods and do not want to change. (38:00) However, better health comes from improvements in personal choices. Paralyzed by Hope (the story of actress and comedian Maria Bamford) and Learning to Fly, about ultra-marathon racing, are both really interesting documentaries worth watching. (40:00) They discuss early health influencers and biohackers. (48:00) Vinnie has taken a deep dive into archery lately. (53:00) He decided to quantify his goal.

(4:00) Mackenzie learned about NSNG® through Mike Rowe's podcast. His goal is to gain weight by putting on muscle, so he needs strength training advice. (14:00) Vinnie recommends the 2-day routine, and how he can do most of the exercises at home. Protein intake should be between 80 grams to 140 grams per day for muscle synthesis. Chris brings up a frequently asked question about cold plunges. (28:00) Cold plunges aren't useless, they do have benefits; however, it doesn't necessarily do all the things that is promised. It can be easy to fall into the "next big thing," but avoid getting hyperfocused on a small percentage of gain. Dick is the second caller. (37:00) He's been a follower of keto for quite some time. He has several health issues he is focusing on improving, including losing some weight. It's all about sticking to your plan.

(2:00) Chris reads through a study, and a statistic he found is a bit terrifying. (14:00) 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. (24:00) 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. (37:00) It appears to be just another attempt to discourage eating meat. Body positivity movement. (42:00) 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.

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. (0:00) Jenni Harris of White Oak Pastures joins the show. Her dad, Will Harris, has been a guest before. (1:30) Vinnie and Jenni agree that factory farming is not the best way to go. (4:30) 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. (5:30) After World War II, farming changed in three big ways: commoditization, centralization, and industrialization. (6:30) 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. (9:00) Today, White Oak thinks of itself as a little functioning food system. (9:30) Better Beef Vinnie and Jenni talk about Dr. Temple Grandin, played by Claire Danes in the movie about her life. (9:30) Temple designed the holding pens at White Oak's processing plant so animals move through stress-free. (11:30) Vinnie explains, from his deer hunting days in Louisiana, how a stressed animal's meat tastes different. (12:30) To White Oak, a factory farm is not about size. It's a lack of complexity. (15:00) Jenni explains the difference between commodity and regenerative products. (16:30) Grass-raised and grain-finished, or grass-fed all the way? (20:00) Grain finishing speeds up the time it takes an animal to get ready for harvest. (21:30) 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. (24:00) Keeping the Farm Alive How does a farm like White Oak make a living? (25:30) Jenni says the average farmer is in their 60s, and many farms are selling out. (26:00) White Oak added processing, branded its product, ships direct to consumers, and welcomes thousands of visitors and workshop guests. (27:00) Jenni left for Atlanta, then came home to be White Oak's marketing manager. (28:00) 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. (29:30) Showing cattle in 4-H teaches kids real responsibility. (41:00) Will Harris wanted to create an opportunity, not an obligation, for the next generation. (47:00) Where's Your Beef From? Vinnie asks about beef labeled "Made in America" that could have come from anywhere. (49:30) Mandatory country of origin labeling for beef was rescinded in 2015. (50:30) 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. (52:30) For now, the way to know is to know your farmer, though Congress is talking about bringing country of origin labeling back. (53:30) Why it matters: there's a saying that a nation that can't feed itself can't really call itself free. (55:00) Farms are being sold off for development and data centers. (56:00) Vinnie talks about his friend Mike Rowe's podcast on producing more energy here at home. (56:30) Vinnie explains why his vitamin company makes everything in U.S. factories, with third-party testing. (59:30) A Special Offer Jenni started earning her paycheck when she launched White Oak's e-commerce. (1:02:00) Vinnie has partnered with White Oak Pastures. (1:03:30) White Oak Pastures has a discount code, VINNIE, that gets you 20% off your first order. (1:04:00) Go to WhiteOakPastures.com to order. Vinnie will also send the details to his email list.

(3:00) Speaking of coffee: between 2003 and 2018, people are getting more calories from coffee. (5:00) The increase in calories appears to be from non-diary creamers. (12:00) Vinnie had certain expectations when he was dating. (18:00) 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. (45:00) 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. (49:00) Jaspr has a discount code, VINNIE, that gets you $350 off through the end of November.

Both Vinnie and Anna deal with the internet and marketing "grift." (3:00) How can you avoid the grift? AI adds to the grift because of AI-created content. (13:00) 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. (16:00) Olive Oil products and blends. (25:00) 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. (31:00) Prices are all going up, across the board. (34:00) 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. (36:00) 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.

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. (0:30) 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. (2:00) Mike describes Jaspr House, a home on Lake Austin where the team gathers, hosts partners and events, and gets together every Friday. (4:00) 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. (7:30) 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. (8:30) 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. (12:00) The Business of Giving Vinnie points out that most bosses would tell an employee to chase their dream on the side. (13:00) 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. (13:30) Vinnie compares it to Patagonia, except Jaspr is doing it from day one. (16:30) Jaspr gifts air scrubbers to schools and covers the filters. (17:00) 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. (19:00) Jocko Willink's team flew in from San Diego to compete in the invitational. (21:00) Vinnie's Jaspr Story Vinnie drove 23 hours over two days to get to Austin. (24:30) He has two Jasprs at home, and the one in the bedroom has made a big difference in his wife's snoring. (25:30) He retells his Concept 2 rower story. (27:00) 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. (29:30) Even with construction going on upstairs, the house has no dust. (30:00) Jaspr House has a Jaspr in nearly every room. (30:30) Why Indoor Air Matters Jaspr launched in May 2020, and its first 1,000 customers were doctors and dentists. (33:00) 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. (33:30) Cities treat our water, and many of us filter it at home, but nobody filters the air. (35:00) Mike says the average home they test has air 5 to 10 times dirtier than the outdoor air. (35:30) 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. (36:30) When Vinnie and Serena moved to Virginia, they refused to buy a newly built "formaldehyde home." (37:30) Air, water, food, and sunlight come first. Supplements build on top of that foundation. (39:30) One side effect of owning a Jaspr: you might become an "air snob." (40:30) Vinnie admits he was completely skeptical at first. (41:00) Mike explains his gifting approach with the story of the oak tree and its 10,000 acorns. (42:00) Vinnie shares how he started Pure Vitamin Club at his kitchen table to make the world's purest vitamin. (43:00) 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. (45:00) Jaspr filters are moving to coconut carbon, and new filters will have white end caps instead of turquoise. (46:30) 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. (48:30) Jaspr has a discount code, VINNIE, that gets you $350 off through the end of November. (50:00) 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. (52:00) Vinnie loves archery, and Mike is building an archery range on the property. (53:30) Vinnie shoots recurve and has sent over 7,000 arrows downrange this summer. The switch to coconut carbon saves about 1,000 trees a year and removes odors, formaldehyde, and VOCs better. The price isn't changing. (57:00) Jaspr is working on ways to repurpose about 2,000 returned steel shells.

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. (10:00) Gary mentions a New York Times article that follows two sisters for a longevity study. (17:00) 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. (26:00) Generations of people were given the wrong advice for combating weight gain. (28:30) 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. (38:00) It reminds you that you can't overeat anything, even healthy foods, without consequences. (51:30) Even people on carnivore can overeat. They discuss testosterone and weight gain. (56:30) Gary's next book (still in the works) is about the history of obesity science.

Stallone's story is also a prime example of the power of "NO." Non-sugar sweeteners. (27:00) 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. (29:15) 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.

(2:00) Sylvester Stallone has a new book out that Vinnie is enjoying. (6:00) 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. (10:45) Vinnie describes a two-hour consultation with "Joey Six Pack," a professional trainer seeking advice on fitness trends, particularly GLP-1 medications. (19:45) 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. (39:00) 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! (44:00) People struggle to understand that once you become fat-adapted (through lower carb intake and ketosis), your body automatically tamps down "food noise."
