    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. (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. (59:00) You'll find Pure Coffee Club, Eat Happy Kitchen, and Grazly products at PureVitaminClub.com.

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.

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. (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."

    The Frog in Boiling Water - Episode 2864

    Episode 2864 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer speak with two callers about how weight gain can be "the frog in the boiling pot" and how to stay focused. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/10/frog-in-boiling-water-episode-2864 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 The Frog in Boiling Water Nina is the first caller. (5:00) She has struggled off and on depending on what life hands her, but she really wants to stay committed. She is doing better and has recommitted, but she has some questions. Vinnie shares the time in his life when he started gaining weight after leaving college football. (7:30) The point is how weight can creep up without even noticing. She shares what she does, but she still deals with the "f*** it's", which is basically eating your emotions. (18:00) The goal for the mindset is to remain rational. Losing weight in midlife won't be as easy or as simple as it was in your twenties. (32:00) The VIP Group was opened briefly for Vinnie's birthday, but is closed again. Membership may be available again around the New Year, so keep your eyes and ears open. You can join the waitlist at https://vinnietortorich.com/vip It's a great resource for support, community, accountability, and access to Vinnie in group calls. Negative Results Scott King, a long-time NSNGer, is the second caller. He shares his weight-loss history for those new to the show. He had had gastric bypass surgery, but regained the weight he had lost. (38:00) Scott got a bit unfocused in his goals and became desperate enough to try GLP-1s. (40:30) He began to have negative side effects, and he was only on it for about three months. GLP-1s can cause serious digestive issues and, in some people, cause them to lose their drive, motivation, and zest for life. (46:00) He went back to NSNG® and focused, and he is losing weight again. (51:00) Sometimes it only takes one person to say the right thing to get back on track. (57:00) Thomas L. Cleave was a British naval surgeon who screamed about sugar and carbohydrates from the 1940s to the 1970s.

(24:00) Studies suggest it's less about diet and more about community, family connection, and activity. There is a misconception that people in Blue Zones eat less meat. Some areas eat less, but other areas eat more red meat and seafood. Exercise is essential to health, but on its own, it's not the best way to lose weight. (41:00) Eating a healthy, low-carb diet is what will help you lose weight; exercise is the cherry on top. They discuss a recent incident that happened at a Hyrox race.
