Mark explains other things that are done to commercial milk. Mark explains how he keeps raw milk clean and maintains its benefits. (12:00) The history of pasteurizing milk in the United States goes back to 1893. Milk used to get easily contaminated once dairies entered cities.  (16:00) Cities were filthy decades ago and created “the milk problem.” Thirty to forty percent of people would die from contaminated milk in the late 1800s. Mark describes how raw milk is processed. (22:00) Mark’s farm has a lab on site that tests every batch for negative bacteria. The only benefits to commercialized milk are that it “lubricates cereal.” (24:30) Pasteurized milk is the number one allergenic food listed on the FDA’s website. Raw milk is not associated with bad digestion; it can heal the gut. (33:00) Food is the foundation of health, not medicine. (41:00) They discuss which states where raw milk is legally available. (43:00) Do your research on farms in your area, and whether raw milk is available to you or not. Mark’s raw milk is available in approximately 500 stores in California. Go to to find out more.

Episode 2638: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss making a comeback, how sugar is poison, hybrid meat, screen time, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/04/sugar-is-poison-episode-2638 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE -  Sugar Is Poison Vinnie tells Chris about a couple of common phrases that he heard a lot in his younger years. (3:00) How do these two phrases relate to making a comeback? (15:00) Pure Vitamin Club has made a comeback and has everything in stock. RFK Jr. recently stated, “Sugar is poison.” This message has needed to come from a government official for a long time. (18:00) The quantity of sugar consumed per capita has multiplied over the decades. A hybrid burger, “Both”, mixes meat with vegetables in the same patty. (28:00) Vinnie doesn’t like that the underlying message is that meat is bad, or at the very least, eat less meat. (30:30) Another hybrid "meat' is a chopped steak by Choppy. (33:00) Chris shares the ingredients, and it doesn’t sound great in Vinnie’s opinion. The desire for convenience makes people take shortcuts that they don’t need to. For example, feeding cereal to their child for breakfast instead of cooking eggs. Chris has some exercise questions for Vinnie. (43:00) Another fitness influencer suggests three things to do in the gym. Vinnie discusses why the three exercises may not be optimal. He suggests instead push-ups, assisted pull-ups, lunges, or bodyweight squats. Adding cardio and flexibility is always a plus, and it doesn’t have to be complex. (50:00) Vinnie discusses his “phone diet.” (53:00) He has suggestions on how you can reduce time on the phone. There are so many entertainment sources that people think they need them all the time.

Use code BOGO25. Vinnie talks about a recent consultation and how information has changed. (3:30) Cholesterol numbers are an example; he gives an analogy of a function of an engine. Electrolytes are not an energy source, like caffeine, but they are necessary to keep your body functioning. (9:45) The “rules” about hydration have changed over the years, such as how much water intake is recommended. (13:00) Misinformation about how much water to drink has led to incorrect or unnecessary habits. When you drink more water than necessary, you are depleting your body of electrolytes. Electrolytes help your body function. You stay hydrated by drinking the proper amount of water with salt and other electrolytes. Thinking you need a soda or Gatorade as a “boost” isn’t a good idea. The idea of drinking more water to lose weight isn’t really how it works. The Badwater Race occurs in one of the planet’s hottest places, Death Valley. (28:00) Many of the athletes who attempt it rely on UltraSalt. Vinnie addresses concerns about getting too much salt. (32:00) There is a slight difference between sodium and salt. Salt in junk food is an issue, but it’s less about salt and more about the junk. (38:00) Anna’s sauces will be showing up in certain Kroger-owned stores in a matter of weeks. (48:00) You can go to Anna’s Eat Happy Kitchen website store locator, enter your zip code, and find which stores carry her sauces. They discuss biohacks using UltraSalt.

Episode 2632: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss training goals and give a rundown of some vitamin basics you should know, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/04/some-vitamin-basics-episode-2632 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE -  Some Vitamin Basics Vinnie recaps his cardio goals. (1:00) However, this year he decided to focus more on strength training. It doesn’t mean he’s slacking on cardio. He’s prepping for another climb up Mt. Whitney in the upcoming months. They discuss “periodization" training. Vinnie switches to a recent consultation he had with a couple. (16:00) He realizes he needs to discuss the subject of vitamins more frequently. Full disclosure: Vinnie owns  Pure Vitamin Club. (20:00) Today’s lifestyles and stressors deplete the body of vitamins, so it’s good to supplement where possible. (20:20) Vitamin B-12 is essential and involved in developing red blood cells, brain health, and DNA. There are different forms of B-12 vitamins: methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin. Stay away from cyanocobalamin. It is a synthetic form and contains a cyanide molecule. Vitamin C is absorbed better when hooked to a fat molecule (meaning liposomal). (28:00) The reason Vinnie created a vitamin company is to help people be better. (28:30) When he was cured of cancer in 2007, he analyzed everything in his lifestyle, including the vitamins he was taking. He realized that even the high-end vitamins he had been using had crap ingredients. (31:00) Vitamin E is great to take, but take one made with tocotrienol, a better form of vitamin E. (40:15) Vitamins often work better when they are blended with the proper molecules. For example, Vitamin D3 is absorbed better when attached to Vitamin K. Two recent studies show that vitamin D can be an effective way to slow multiple sclerosis. (44:45) A specific strain of spirulina is apparently a usable form of B-12 for vegans. (47:45) Pure Vitamin Club’s B-12 is sublingual, so you let it dissolve under your tongue. Follow Vinnie on X @vinnietortorich. He has been increasing content, including videos.

Episode 2630: Vinnie Tortorich speaks to Dr. Anthony Jay and they discuss items from plastics to genetics, misrepresentation in the media, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/04/from-plastics-to-genetics-dr-anthony-jay-episode-2630 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE -  From Plastics to Genetics Dr. Anthony Jay was first on Fitness Confidential back in 2017. (2:00) His book can be purchased in Vinnie’s Book Club: Estrogeneration: How Estrogenics Are Making You Fat, Sick, and Infertile (Chagrin and Tonic Series)   He is a researcher and geneticist and the information he wrote in the book is finally being discussed on a larger scale. BPAs don’t always mean less harmful; BPS, phthalates, and other chemicals are substituted and can still be an issue. (5:30) The United States allows materials in products and food that are banned in Europe. (8:00) Pharmaceutical companies don’t have to release studies, and what they do release is often cherry-picked data presented to the media. Burning carbs for energy means autophagy is not happening. (18:00) Health and genetics play a part in an individual’s response to a virus. (23:30) Dr. Jay is a genetic researcher and consultant who helps people pinpoint possible genetic origins of health issues and helps them make changes based on data. They discuss the progression of COVID-19 and the mandates that came along with it. (31:00) The media and pharmaceutical corporations often use fear-mongering tactics and mishandle information. (40:00) Hope and Possibilities Anthony is hopeful that RFK, Jr. will make improvements in the health system, like getting crap out of infant formula. (47:15) What is Dr. Jay’s opinion on raw milk? (51:30) Some people are highly sensitive to dairy and generally need to stay away from all dairy; however, others can have raw dairy and not have an issue. Between raw and pasteurized, Anthony personally prefers raw milk and he sources it from a local dairy that he trusts. Conventional milk can have emulsifiers in it to keep it from separating, but emulsifiers are horrible for your health. Emulsifiers are tasteless detergents that weaken your gut lining. (57:30) 23andMe and DNA testing. (1:00:00) Dr Jay is a genetic consultant who can help you see what health needs you may have. (1:00:00) If you decide to use the services that analyze your DNA, you can often opt out of sharing your information. Dr. Jay can give you health insights consultation based on your genetic data.
