Episode 2665: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss an intro to Vitamins 101, and the what and whys of taking supplements. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/07/vitamins-101-episode-2665 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - All the Feels Humans have an emotional recall with music and food. (2:00) An example is pumpkin spice around Thanksgiving. It can work in reverse, too: people can have an aversion to junk food after being NSNG® for a while. They discuss other methods that are used to enable or modify behavior, from marketing tactics to “people movers” in Vegas. Chris doesn’t miss air conditioning since he’s been living out of the country. (12:00) They switch to discussing the importance of getting a proper vitamin intake. Vitamins 101 Why electrolytes? Almost everyone is at some level of hydration. (16:00) But there is such a thing as over-hydration, which can cause hyponatremia, or low sodium levels in the blood. (18:00) So many people are afraid of salt, but they don’t necessarily need to be. (22:00) Salt is needed by the body as part of its functioning. Sweating, even only small amounts, and exhaling cause you to lose electrolytes. (25:00) You should take them, especially if you are active. Multi-vitamins: Do you really need them? Yes, it’s difficult to get a good range of vitamins from food only—it’s a daily insurance plan. Vinnie shares why he has a separate B12 in addition to B vitamins in the multivitamin. (37:00) Some brands don’t break down in your stomach properly due to some of the ingredients. (44:00) Other brands often use the synthetic, or non-absorbable, versions of vitamins. (46:00) Magnesium Most people are deficient in magnesium. It can help with how you feel and how you sleep. (47:30) Certain varieties of magnesium can cause a laxative effect if you consume too much. Pure Vitamin Club uses a broader spectrum of magnesium.
