Episode 2634 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss Proper Hydration 101, including getting enough electrolytes, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/04/proper-hydration-101-episode-2634 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Proper Hydration 101 At the time of this episode, Annas Eat Happy Kitchen spices are on sale for a short 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 isnt a good idea. The idea of drinking more water to lose weight isnt really how it works. The Badwater Race occurs in one of the planets 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 its less about salt and more about the junk. (38:00) Annas sauces will be showing up in certain Kroger-owned stores in a matter of weeks. (48:00) You can go to Annas 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.

Use code BOGO25. Vinnie gives an update on his "phone diet." (6:00) It's been so freeing and he doesn’t miss it. He hasn’t seen IG for a month. A podcast Anna told Vinnie to listen to Sept 16, 2024, Scamtown “Extra Virgin Hustle." (10:00) Food fraud happens more than you can imagine, and examples can be found in books such as these, which are available in Vinnie's Amazon Book Club: Extra Virginity: the Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil by Tom Meuller Real Food, Fake Food by Larry Olmstead  Anna and Vinnie discuss items such as fish fraud and shredded cheese.

(18:15) Non-olive “olive oils” were sold nationwide in chains like Costco and Walmart. They explain what "pomace" oil is. The manufacturers know how much they can cut olive oil with cheap oil without noticing it. (26:00) The amount is often *up to* 40%. Anna and Loren have been targets of a scam and are producing an episode discussing it; however, it will be discussed at a later time. (36:15) Advertisements can be disingenuous.
