@TheBlazeFanGirl @VinnieTortorich send an email to chris@purevitaminclub.com and I can figure out what's up :)

@VinnieTortorich @NSNGChris #NSNG I cannot get anyone to respond to me about the fact that I didn’t get notified of the last VIP session, nor can I access any sessions since 2/16. Just crickets…

@RoCasOK @SwimWearPlaya @hernan_migoni @tommyswriting There isn't a universal Colombian accent. Rolos, paisas, costeños, and Caleños all have very different accents...not to mention colloquialisms, mannerisms, etc.

@SwimWearPlaya @hernan_migoni @tommyswriting Neutrality is for Switzerland. Neutral Spanish is an urban legend. In movies, it is softened Mexico City's accent. Colombians have Colombian accent. No neutrality.

For someone learning Spanish: Colombia 🇨🇴 Spanish - HD, crystal clear Spanish Argentina 🇦🇷 Spanish - it’s like Spanish had a baby with Italian and that baby has a lisp that sounds like “chhhh” all the time Dominican 🇩🇴 Spanish- 2x speed Spanish with 50% of the letters missing

@peta "humane food is vegan" That's the best april fools joke I've seen.

Shoppers pulled up to a “humane meat” stand and things got VERY juicy 🔪💦 humane meat is a myth, the only guaranteed humane food is vegan 🍉 #AprilFools

After years of research, I owe you all an apology. I've been wrong. About everything. I spent the last decade telling you to avoid sugar and grains. I told you seed oils were poison. I told you the food industry was lying to you. I told you to question everything. Well, I questioned everything. And I finally found the truth. Sugar is actually essential for brain function. Your body needs it. Those headaches you get when you quit sugar? That's your brain telling you it's starving. I was literally telling you to starve your brain. And grains? The foundation of every great civilization. The Egyptians built the pyramids on bread. You think they were eating grass-fed ribeyes? No. They were carb-loading. I also want to apologize for everything I said about Kellogg's. Breakfast IS the most important meal of the day. I looked into it and that's based on real science funded by... well, it doesn't matter who funded it. The point is, a big bowl of Froot Loops and a glass of orange juice is exactly how you should start your morning. I've been working with some brilliant scientists at the Sugar Research Foundation and they've opened my eyes. Very generous people. Very well-funded research. Effective immediately, NSNG now stands for Needs Sugar, Needs Grains. I'll be launching my new program next week. It's called the SnackWell's Protocol. Fat-free cookies for breakfast, Gatorade for hydration, and a Jamba Juice smoothie with 87 grams of sugar for recovery. The science is settled. This post is proudly sponsored by @kelloggsus , @CocaColaCo , and the @American_Heart . Follow the money. Wait — I mean, follow the science. Happy April 1st. Question everything. Especially today. #NSNG #NeedsSugarNeedsGrains #SnackwellsProtocol #FrootLoopsAreHealth #QuestionEverything #AprilFools

@rtnnnie @seizuresalad It CAN be a symptom of a few things, but it's totally normal for people in her population, at least if you look at the science. I'm sure she noted your concern and immediately stopped all the epo she was "abusing," which is actually the key to what you're saying.

@NSNGChris @seizuresalad It can definitely be a symptom of chronic stress. Serum thyroid hormone T3 is the main driver of RHR, with the exception of the catecholamines. Recall the staircase phenomenon, the faster your heart beats, the more strongly it does so. That’s why elite cyclists die in their sleep

Everyone is all “fiber-maxxing” and I’m over here like…nah I’m good.

@ChrisMorgan20 @VinnieTortorich Just because you can eat something doesn't mean it's optimal. Cows can eat corn, but grass is better. There's no reason you NEED grains to thrive, much less to survive.

@NSNGChris @VinnieTortorich I don’t begrudge someone with absolutely no formal nutritional training making a living but excluding grains doesn’t make any sense unless we’ve been doing something terribly wrong for the last 100000 years.

Oatzempic. Let me save you some time. It's oats, psyllium husk, and wishful thinking blended into a glass. The internet is claiming it's high in fiber, regulates blood sugar, and will help you lose 5-10 kilos in 10 days. Where's the study? There is no study. Someone blended breakfast and called it medicine. Here's the thing about oats — fiber doesn't cancel out sugar. That's not how any of this works. Your body still converts those carbs. The fiber just slows down the damage slightly while you congratulate yourself for drinking gruel. This is basically real-life Colon Blow. If you're old enough to remember that SNL skit, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Is it better than injecting yourself with a weight loss drug? Probably. Or — wild idea — just eat real food. No Sugar. No Grains. #NSNG #Oatzempic #NoSugarNoGrains #RealFood #LowCarb

@rtnnnie @seizuresalad Except an RHR in the 30s-40s isn't pathologicial for trained athletes, especially endurance athletes like @seizuresalad...it's actually normal. If you are a coach potato....that's when it would potentially be a concern.

@seizuresalad Just because something is common doesn’t mean it’s not pathological. Your ad hominem and unwillingness to engage in good faith debate is appalling.

@ChrisMorgan20 @VinnieTortorich Lol just because some doesn't have a degree in nutrition doesn't make them not an expert and/or can't point out obvious things. Nor does it change anything I've said. But since you'd rather use logical fallacies than discuss the points...that's fine too. Enjoy your gruel👍

@NSNGChris @VinnieTortorich lol you appear to be an acolyte grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5…

@GuyNAustin @VinnieTortorich you mean this one?

@VinnieTortorich If you think what a dentist with a library card can do is impressive, wait till you hear about what a dentist named Price could achieve with a travel budget and a camera...

A dentist with a library card exposed the biggest cover-up in nutrition history. In 2016, Cristin Kearns was a dentist-turned-researcher at UCSF. She spent years digging through archives and found something buried for 50 years — internal documents from the Sugar Research Foundation proving they paid Harvard scientists to blame fat for heart disease instead of sugar. In 1967, the sugar industry funded a literature review in the New England Journal of Medicine. The researchers were paid the equivalent of about $50,000 in today's money. The conclusion: fat causes heart disease, sugar is fine. They never disclosed the funding. That one paper shaped 50 years of dietary policy. The low-fat movement. The food pyramid. Millions of people cutting fat and eating more sugar. All based on bought science. Kearns found the receipts. The internal correspondence. The payment records. The sugar industry's own documents proved they knew sugar was the problem and paid to cover it up. The New York Times ran it front page. JAMA Internal Medicine published the full exposé. The sugar industry's playbook was out in the open. They bought the science. They blamed fat. A dentist with a library card exposed all of it. Question everything. #NSNG #NoSugarNoGrains #MetabolicHealth #FollowTheMoney #QuestionEverything #BigSugar

@ChrisMorgan20 @VinnieTortorich There's nothing in your post that contradicts my point. Fiber does help control the spike from the grains, but you know what else controls blood sugar? Not eating grains. If you think the post is to simply sell something...you have no clue what you're talking about or who op is

@NSNGChris @VinnieTortorich 😂 read my post excluding food groups or grains is completely unnecessary and merely a gimmick to sell a program with “support”. So much bs on X most people don’t both DYOR just follow whatever they read.

@ChrisMorgan20 @VinnieTortorich That's ironic since the science says there's nothing in grains you can't get from much better sources like meat, fruit, and vegetables.......with less impact on your blood sugar and actual nutrients

@VinnieTortorich x.com/i/grok/share/e… never take your nutrition advice from someone who’s business is to sell you…

@VinnieTortorich Good catch. Fill levels shift based on ingredient potency. Last batch we sourced a more potent form of magnesium, so less was needed to hit the same dose on the label. We could stuff it with fillers to make it look more full. That's not how we do things. Never will be.

By law, we are not allowed to give you less than what the label indicates. This is highly regulated. The reason you are seeing this is because the magnesium this time around was broken down into a finer powder. The weight is exactly the same. @NSNGChris

@Tommyskitchen25 @eathappykitchen @AnnaVocino @VinnieTortorich nothing worse than an over-smoked butt.

@eathappykitchen @AnnaVocino @VinnieTortorich I over smoked my pork butt so I topped it with some puttanesca gravy and Franks hot sauce. Freaking awesome

@Fleeing400 @luvscows612 @VinnieTortorich @TheBigPigWF They don't need to...even if they're owned and stamped out of Hanover. With Hershey, Utz, Turkey hill, and Synder's all right there...it's a shitshow

@luvscows612 @VinnieTortorich @TheBigPigWF Zapp’s is based in Louisiana not too far from Vinnie’s old stomping grounds. PA doesn’t get to claim them as their state just because sold out to Utz. 😂

@VinnieTortorich @TheBigPigWF's map vs Pa's. Pa does not win.

@TheBigPigWF @luvscows612 @VinnieTortorich They're owned by @Hersheys :)

@luvscows612 @VinnieTortorich For your information Dots Pretzels originated in North Dakota. I would say that’s bigger than most pretzel companies.

@luvscows612 @VinnieTortorich @TheBigPigWF Lancaster is the snack food capital of the world.

@TheBigPigWF @VinnieTortorich Looks like the gator won.

@VinnieTortorich @NSNGChris people get angry when they spill drinks playing a “sport”

@VinnieTortorich we actually have a post coming on him shortly. The story is insane.....which is ironically what they tried to call him.

He's why we started washing our hands. But it was long after he was dead before it finally cought on.

@VinnieTortorich I bet @XX_XYAthletics and @Riley_Gaines_ have some thoughts.

In 1967, they tried to physically drag a woman off the Boston Marathon course. She finished anyway. Kathrine Switzer registered as "K.V. Switzer" — bib number 261. Two miles in, race co-director Jock Semple sprinted at her screaming "Get the hell out of my race" and tried to rip the numbers off her chest. Her coach went down. Her boyfriend Tom Miller body-checked Semple to the ground. She kept running. She finished in 4 hours and 20 minutes. The photos went worldwide. It took five more years before women were officially allowed to run Boston. In 1972 the ban was lifted. In 1984, the women's marathon became an Olympic event. Today more than half of all marathon finishers in America are women. Switzer ran Boston again in 2017 at age 70 — wearing bib 261 one more time. Meanwhile in 2026, the LA Marathon handed out finisher medals at mile 18. You could quit eight miles early and still get the same medal as someone who ran the full 26.2. They called it a "safety option." Switzer got attacked for daring to run the whole thing. Now you get a medal for not finishing it. She didn't need a participation trophy. She needed them to get out of her way. Question everything. #NSNG #NoSugarNoGrains #QuestionEverything #261Fearless #BostonMarathon

@IRON100USA @VinnieTortorich I saw it right as we jumped on, don't sweat TOO much about it :)

@VinnieTortorich I thought I had cancelled that call for today and somehow it didn't happen. I want to try again after I get back from Florida. I am prepping pretty hard for that meeting in 3 weeks so that is the reason I cancelled. I am so sorry if I screwed up things. I hate screwing other people's schedules up because it happens so much to me. I am indeed sorry!
