Episode 2873: Vinnie Tortorich and Jenni Harris of White Oak Pastures discuss regenerative farming, grass-fed beef, and why it matters to know where your beef comes from. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/11/know-your-farmer-jenni-harris-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 Back on the Farm Vinnie opens with the theme from Bonanza and Sam Elliott's famous beef commercial. (0:00) Jenni Harris of White Oak Pastures joins the show. Her dad, Will Harris, has been a guest before. (1:30) Vinnie and Jenni agree that factory farming is not the best way to go. (4:30) Jenni finds real common ground with her vegan and vegetarian friends. Jenni and her sister are the fifth generation of Harrises to live and work on their farm in Bluffton, Georgia. (5:30) After World War II, farming changed in three big ways: commoditization, centralization, and industrialization. (6:30) Her grandfather took the farm from many crops and animals down to just cattle. In the mid-90s, Will Harris became disgusted with the commodity food system and decided to change it. (9:00) Today, White Oak thinks of itself as a little functioning food system. (9:30) Better Beef Vinnie and Jenni talk about Dr. Temple Grandin, played by Claire Danes in the movie about her life. (9:30) Temple designed the holding pens at White Oak's processing plant so animals move through stress-free. (11:30) Vinnie explains, from his deer hunting days in Louisiana, how a stressed animal's meat tastes different. (12:30) To White Oak, a factory farm is not about size. It's a lack of complexity. (15:00) Jenni explains the difference between commodity and regenerative products. (16:30) Grass-raised and grain-finished, or grass-fed all the way? (20:00) Grain finishing speeds up the time it takes an animal to get ready for harvest. (21:30) Her dad compares it to chaining a child to a couch and feeding them nothing but potato chips and candy bars. Grass-fed animals keep moving and grazing and gain weight at a much more natural pace. You are what you eat eats. (24:00) Keeping the Farm Alive How does a farm like White Oak make a living? (25:30) Jenni says the average farmer is in their 60s, and many farms are selling out. (26:00) White Oak added processing, branded its product, ships direct to consumers, and welcomes thousands of visitors and workshop guests. (27:00) Jenni left for Atlanta, then came home to be White Oak's marketing manager. (28:00) What they lack in profitability, they make up for in quality of life. Vinnie, a die-hard Hallmark Christmas movie fan, says Jenni's story is straight out of one. (29:30) Showing cattle in 4-H teaches kids real responsibility. (41:00) Will Harris wanted to create an opportunity, not an obligation, for the next generation. (47:00) Where's Your Beef From? Vinnie asks about beef labeled "Made in America" that could have come from anywhere. (49:30) Mandatory country of origin labeling for beef was rescinded in 2015. (50:30) Imported beef could then be repackaged here and labeled "Product of the USA," at a fraction of what it costs to raise an animal in the United States. Jenni calls it the single biggest event that decreased White Oak's volume. Since January 2026, imported beef can no longer be labeled "Product of the USA," but it doesn't have to name any country either. (52:30) For now, the way to know is to know your farmer, though Congress is talking about bringing country of origin labeling back. (53:30) Why it matters: there's a saying that a nation that can't feed itself can't really call itself free. (55:00) Farms are being sold off for development and data centers. (56:00) Vinnie talks about his friend Mike Rowe's podcast on producing more energy here at home. (56:30) Vinnie explains why his vitamin company makes everything in U.S. factories, with third-party testing. (59:30) A Special Offer Jenni started earning her paycheck when she launched White Oak's e-commerce. (1:02:00) Vinnie has partnered with White Oak Pastures. (1:03:30) White Oak Pastures has a discount code, VINNIE, that gets you 20% off your first order. (1:04:00) Go to WhiteOakPastures.com to order. Vinnie will also send the details to his email list.

(3:00) Speaking of coffee: between 2003 and 2018, people are getting more calories from coffee. (5:00) The increase in calories appears to be from non-diary creamers. (12:00) Vinnie had certain expectations when he was dating. (18:00) Buying better coffee makes a difference; you're less likely to "need" to fill it with junk creamers. Chris has a question about fasting and autophagy. (45:00) Fasting has benefits, but it doesn't necessarily work long term. You still have to learn proper eating habits. Cycling hard for an hour can have a better autophagy signal than 72 hours' worth of fasting. (49:00) Jaspr has a discount code, VINNIE, that gets you $350 off through the end of November.

Both Vinnie and Anna deal with the internet and marketing "grift." (3:00) How can you avoid the grift? AI adds to the grift because of AI-created content. (13:00) Vinnie always tries to be mindful about screen time, and now, because of the constant grift, he's trying even harder. He's also got long days in the car planned and sets himself up for success while on the road. (16:00) Olive Oil products and blends. (25:00) They discuss canola oil and sunflower oils. Both go through a heating process that makes them inflammatory. Adding a small percentage of olive oil isn't going to make them better. Notice how you feel after consuming them. Many people don't even realize how they feel because they are eating so many processed foods that they are unaware of the differences. (31:00) Prices are all going up, across the board. (34:00) Anna plans to go back to direct-to-consumer on the East Coast due to shenanigans by grocery stores. They play a hilarious clip of an SNL skit about biohackers and grifting to expound on the idea. (36:00) More discussion of well-known grifter-type influencers. The beverage industry has expanded way beyond sodas, too. "Protein sodas" are becoming popular, but they really are just nonsense. Anna noticed one in particular that claims to boost GLP-1.

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.

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. (1:03:00) He also has a Substack called "Uncertainty Principles," where he explores issues of good science and bad science. https://uncertaintyprinciples.substack.com/ Important Reminders Get Vinnie's e-book here: https://nsng.vinnietortorich.com/product/intro-to-nsng/ Don't forget to get Anna's new book Eat Happy Cocktail Hour!

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."

(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.

(2:30) They are available for purchase through Vinnie's Amazon page. https://tinyurl.com/captcrush Vinnie also likes to do "dead hangs", which is simply gripping and hanging from a horizontal bar for a good stretch. Anna shares a story to remind us that no matter where you live (United States, New Zealand, EU, etc.), you should read ingredient labels on packaged foods. (13:00) Vinnie has had neck pain for years and shares how he has managed it over time. (16:00) Three different doctors told him there was nothing he could do. Instead, he developed a system of stretches and exercises, and his pain has been significantly reduced. Vinnie also uses yoga blocks for his stretches. You can view and purchase them in his Amazon shop. https://tinyurl.com/ygablocks A side effect of statins can be frailty and muscle wasting. (26:00) A prominent NSNG® VIP group member, Scott, recently started gaining some weight back because of a change in his habits. Scott shared his story in the VIP group: he had recently tried GLP-1s because he felt he was struggling a bit. Vinnie isn't fully against certain meds; however, the downsides aren't advertised, and the consequences can be brutal. There is also concern that many of these peptides come from unreliable sources. (35:00) Amino Acids Is taking an amino acid blend helpful? (38:00) It can be; however, not all may absorb well in capsule form. If you can eat the whole foods that the blend comes from (chicken, eggs, etc.), that would be better. Anna has already received a review for her new cookbook. Five stars, baby!

Starting kids at a younger age can help keep them healthier and steer them away from junk-food habits. (18:00) Mika is the next caller. (29:30) She shared how she heard of NSNG®. Social media has a lot of misinformation. They discuss ultra-processed foods versus eating real food, like a steak. (41:00) People also misunderstand how long-duration, high-intensity activity affects the body. This type of activity can require a different approach than an average workout. (45:00) Mika also asks about fasting. (49:45) Vinnie doesn't care to fast because he likes to get protein into his body first thing in the morning.

(3:00) Vinnie hopes everyone lives as long as possible with a high quality of life. (10:00) Over the years, many concerns have emerged about trends that could harm life and the environment. (11:00) One trend that has progressed and seems consistent is how sugar creates disease. But somehow now, influencers are saying low-carb is wrong. The poison is in the dose and frequency of sugar. (17:00) The invention of the CPG (Consumer Packaged Foods) has evolved into a "profit over people" model. (21:00) Convenience has been marketed in a manner that ultra-processed foods have taken over the market. Any kind of change can be tough, but you can work your way through it. (33:00) Single-ingredient foods are your best bet. People are recommitting to their health journeys before the holidays. (36:00) Go to Vinnie's website to get the NSNG e-book. (42:50) https://nsng.vinnietortorich.com/product/intro-to-nsng/ NSNG® 101 Lightning Round Questions for the lightning round: Stick to one-ingredient foods. Get rid of ultra-processed packaged foods. Cut out any sugars, wine, beer, bread, "keto" packaged foods like "keto bread", and sweeteners. What you *can* eat: meats like beef, pork, chicken and other fowl, game meats, fish and seafood. You can have non-starchy vegetables; however, Vinnie prefers cruciferous veggies the best. Fruits should be avocado, tomatoes, olives, and low-glycemic berries. Sure, other fruits can have nutrients, but if your goal is weight loss, avoid high-sugar fruits. Vinnie explains why white (and most other) potatoes should be avoided. Protein "health" bars are filled with junk. (54:00) They discuss how you can do an NSNG® lifestyle while trying to be vegetarian or even vegan. (58:30) Dairy depends on whether or not you are sensitive. If you are sensitive, you may gain weight. (1:00:00) Anna talks about her upcoming book, which is a beautiful party food book!

(3:00) Vinnie has established two rules for himself based on this. He never wants to risk wasting time. They discuss how much screen time people have, with multiple screens being viewed at once. (15:00) This leads to a discussion about storytelling and older movies. Vinnie spends as little time as possible on screen and on social media. (28:30) Chris found a study about how bad health and fitness influencers often are. (30:30) So they found that 78% of health, fitness, and diet influencers are unqualified. More than two-thirds of the posts that they analyzed contained misleading, deceptive, or completely untrue information. They discuss misinformation online and in ads.

Episode 2856 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss a company making mozzarella without cows or FDA clearance, xylitol, and eating real food. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/09/mozzarella-without-cows-episode-2856 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 Mozzarella Without Cows Vinnie's favorite game is in season, so they discuss unusual names. (6:00) Which leads to a favorite game: "Stripper vs. NFL" Anna found an article about lab-grown mozzarella. (27:00) It has been cleared without FDA approval. New Culture declared its own ingredient safe under a legal pathway called self-affirmed as generally recognized as safe, and never needed a decision from the agency. Getting rid of cattle is a bad idea since they are ruminants and they keep soil healthy. (36:00) Anna reads an article that states artificial sweeteners are linked to a much higher risk of heart attack, stroke, or death. (40:15) Xylitol, often used in gums, toothpaste, and more, may lead to an increase in cardiac risk. They discuss other sweeteners, their effects, and downsides. (43:00) Go back to the rules: stick to whole foods, or real foods, not ultra-processed foods. (50:00) Anna is making her own mustard, and will be posting her recipe soon.
