    Lowering the Bar - Episode 2827

    Episode 2827 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss lowering the bar when identifying obesity, smoking weed, and the effects of less sleep. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/07/lowering-the-bar-episode-2827 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 Lowering the Bar Vinnie has had a wonderful week. (3:45) He spent time with his best friend since childhood, and they ended up chatting about Jim's health. Jim is ready to make some changes. The obesity rate has been coming down from its all-time high. (19:00) These metrics were taken between 2024 and 2025. However, childhood obesity is 20%, but in the 1970s, it was 3 or 4%. But what is considered obese has been redefined. (24:00) Lowering the bar doesn't make things better. Also, the numbers were gathered by Gallup (people self-reporting), not from doctors. The introduction of GLP-1s is credited for these numbers, but that may not be accurate. (30:00) However, they still don't seem to be a long-term solution because people abuse GLP-1s. Sleep has more impact on weight gain than you may think. (40:30) Less sleep can cause more cravings, among other things. Holy crap, we spent money on this study? (48:00) Result: Smoking weed is bad for your health. Daily smoking of weed holds the same risk of lung cancer as daily smoking of cigarettes. It's not the substance; it's the inhaling of smoke.

    Are Statins Really Normal? - Episode 2826

    Episode 2826 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss trying new things, Anna's grocery store plans, and whether statins are really normal. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/07/are-statins-really-normal-episode-2826 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!

Vinnie encourages people to go out and live life by trying new things. (4:00) There's a recent drug, similar to a statin, called Repatha. But is it better? (13:00) Statins were originally developed for specific heart-related issues; however, they have now gained traction as almost "normal," even though they weren't intended to be. Please do your own research and advocate for yourself, because no one is coming to save you. Society has normalized taking meds instead of normalizing better health. Pure Vitamin Club has revamped its website and added more offerings! (24:00) Anna has an update on her grocery store plans: Eat Happy Kitchen is pulling out of Kroger's Western divisions. (33:00) Kroger has decided to reduce the number of sauces it carries and is going for non-premium items. Be sure to go to Kroger-affiliated stores and buy up what you can! Anna's products are moving forward and earning certifications to ensure customers know Eat Happy Kitchen can be trusted to be the best! She is still trying to get into other grocery store chains, however. (35:00) A recent medical journal article was sent to Vinnie. The article's headline suggests people are poisoning themselves with semaglutides. Is that accurate? (42:00) The article suggests that several weight loss drugs were released before side effects were clearly understood. Movies, rom-coms, and Christmas movies vs. not Christmas movies?

    Why Food Matters with Dr. Philip Ovadia -Episode 2825

    Episode 2825 - Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dr. Philip Ovadia to discuss confusion around LDL, his second book, and why food matters. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/07/why-food-matters-dr-philip-ovadia-episode-2825 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!

Heart disease is still the number one killer in the United States. (6:30) Dr. Ovadia's first book is a best seller you can find in Vinnie's book club: Stay Off My Operating Tablehttps://amzn.to/3SelRrs Even athletes in what appears to be extraordinary good health can still suffer from heart disease and cardiac arrest. (14:00) Heavy carb cycling or loading could be contributing to it. (16:00) How important is monitoring LDL only? (25:00) Small, dense LDL particles are important to monitor. Statins lower the large-particle LDL, which is the healthy form, but not the small-particle LDL. Insulin resistance and chronic inflammation are drivers of "bad" LDL. Dr. Ovadia explains how Repatha works. (30:00) He also explains some complications during its trials. A challenge of the Western medical system is that specialties have become too compartmentalized. (35:30) Pre-Order Dr. Ovadia's second book. Pre-orders are important to the algorithm. (Stay Off My Kitchen Table) He shares a story about his friend and ghost writer, Joshua. (41:00) Pre-order Dr. Ovadia's book using this link: https://ifixhearts.com/books/ Dr. Ovadia explains the importance of knowing what food goes into your body and what it does (or doesn't) for you. The vegan diet is propaganda. Dr. Ovadia explains. (54:00) Technology and testing methods have improved, and imaging is now clearer. Also, you may not be limited to dealing only with a local doctor; telehealth may now be available to you. You can also find Dr. Ovadia on socials and at iFixHearts.com.

(3:00) Is alkaline water helpful, or is it a scam? (16:30) The likelihood that it actually does anything is slim to none. Trying to add extra hydrogen molecules doesn't seem likely to do anything. In addition, sometimes solvents are added to water to make it more alkaline. They discuss other health claims that have been inflated. An element that will make a difference in your health is good-quality magnesium. (26:00) Vinnie shares how magnesium has helped his father over the years. Hidden ingredients are often in vitamins through the use of "proprietary blends."

    Reclaim Kids from Tech with Dr. Lisa Strohman - Episode 2822

    Episode 2822 - Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dr. Lisa Strohman about AI, social media breeding loss of empathy, and the need to reclaim kids from tech. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/07/reclaim-kids-from-tech-episode-2822 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!

Parental discretion is advised for children. Dr. Lisa Strohman is a clinical psychologist, attorney, and author. Distractions have increased, especially as cell phone cameras have improved. (3:00) In addition, social media is a major challenge. At the same time, most people don't understand how AI actually works. (17:30) This raises an important question: What are we giving up for convenience? Critical thinking skills are being diminished. Writing by hand activates the brain's neural pathways; in contrast, AI encourages a more passive state of the brain. Dr. Strohman researched the Columbine tragedy in 1999. (34:00) Concerning trends show signs of increased narcissism, reduced empathy, and lower levels of oxytocin (a key bonding chemical). (36:00) As a result, many kids raised on tech and social media place less value on other humans, and certain apps make this worse. News spreads instantly, and memories of current events fade quickly as the next story replaces them. (47:00) Negative interactions are increasing; let's refocus on teaching how to be good humans. Society leans heavily on tech because it's easy; however, that's not necessarily a good thing. (1:05:00) Remaining Vigilant Safety settings on social media and other platforms are largely an illusion. (1:08:00) Dr. Strohman's team participated in a product liability case against Meta, involving the grooming of minors. (1:10:00) Pornography changes the brain in a harmful way. Another key point is that ads are deliberately targeted at children as young as 8, unless parents are extremely vigilant about filtering. Other high-profile violent cases are discussed. Again, parental discretion is strongly advised. (1:18:00) Dr. Strohman is working to restore control to the parents. "Harmless tech" is not harmless. Dr. Lisa Strohman's website is https://drlisastrohman.com/ Anna's products are now linked to PureVitamin Club's website. Look under the "Food and Snacks" section to purchase them there, too. https://purevitaminclub.com/collections/food-and-snacks Vinnie hopes to add other products as well, all of which will be health-related.
