TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: Hunger Signals Dr. Jason Fung is a highly respected nephrologist and is the author of: His new book The Hunger Code: The Obesity Code : “A calorie is a calorie” is not correct. The quality of calories matters to your health. (8:00) What you eat determines what your body does. (11:15) There is a limit to how much you should eat, however. (12:00) Natural foods trigger satiety; ultra-processed foods mess with the body's natural signaling hormones. There are three types of hunger: homeostatic (physical), hedonic (emotional), and conditioned (social). (17:00) Food companies, over the years, have developed ways to keep you eating, even when your body isn’t truly hungry. (27:00) Many foods trigger a conditioned response. The term “food noise” is all over the place. Once you get your hormones working properly through low-carb, “food noise” goes away. (31:00) The process isn’t overnight, but it will happen. Dr. Fung offers his thoughts on “food noise.” (33:00) So much of our eating today is driven by conditioned responses and activities paired with food. GLP1s Are Not Magic GLP-1 naturally occurs in the body, and certain foods like protein and fiber will trigger it properly in your body. But the medical doses administered pharmacologically are massive and squelch all hunger signals. The biggest problem with exogenous GLP-1s is the loss of your body's ability to learn and respond to proper hunger signals. (36:30) Another issue is that it can also dull *everything* else in life, too. (40:00) They are a tool, not a magic bullet. Oftentimes, when a person stops the drug, they often gain even more fat than before. (42:00) There is, of course, the concern of muscle loss as well. If you are already fighting sarcopenia and add GLP-1s, there could be serious issues to follow. (43:00) Vinnie discusses “eating through” both bariatric surgery and now the GLP-1 meds. (46:00) These drugs can be effective, but there is always a cost. They discuss the transition Weight Watchers made when it entered the GLP-1 market. (54:00) They discuss other peptides and whether or not they are beneficial. (57:00) They discuss other “miracle cure” trends. What you *can* do is trust real food!

(38:00) Zone 1 is fine to start with if you’ve led a sedentary lifestyle. Zone 2 is optimal for many reasons and falls in the range of 70% through 79% of your aerobic capacity. There are many biological benefits to staying in this range, including mitochondrial health and blood health. Zone 2 can be used alongside VO2 Max training, especially if you are training for an event. VO2 max is defined as the maximum rate at which your body can use oxygen during exercise. (49:00) If you are starting from a sedentary lifestyle, do not jump into this type of training without a consultation from your doctor.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: All About Testosterone Today is all about the use of testosterone and whether it’s really necessary. (2:00) As we get older, testosterone drops; if you start it, it’s not likely you’ll get off of them because it’s hard to stop them. “Free testosterone” seems to be a big indicator; that is, the amount that is available for your body to use. (21:00) There are always many questions surrounding peptides and hormone replacement. The advice Vinnie likes to recommend is to fix everything else with your metabolic health first, and then see if you still need it. (23:30) Often, the decline isn’t age-related but diet- and lifestyle-related. (25:00) Vitamin D, especially from sunlight, contributes to hormone production, as do zinc and magnesium. Being obese has the largest impact on testosterone and metabolic function. (30:00) Lifting weights has a massive positive impact on your metabolism and hormone production (31:00). Quality sleep makes a difference! Just a three-hour difference in sleep can change levels in as little as a week. (32:00) Diet has the largest impact. The amount of fats, how many meals, and snacking—all of it can affect how (or if) your body creates enough hormones. (32:30) Magnesium is also good for building testosterone. (41:00) DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is derived from testosterone and can have effects on the prostate, hair loss, and more. (45:00) A good saw palmetto can help block the overproduction of DHT. As always, please do your research first. Creatine, when used in conjunction with heavy lifting, can be beneficial. Sleep affects many things, including leptin, ghrelin, and appetite. (56:00) Make sure you do your research before you decide on using testosterone. If your diet and lifestyle are optimal and you are still having issues, then maybe explore it.

GLP1s can be helpful for morbidly obese people, but people who are not obese shouldn’t be on them.

What are some definitions of perimenopause, menopause, and post menopause? (27:30) The gut is important for hormonal health because it helps break down hormones for use in the body. Vinnie shares a story about his Mom and why the idea of hormones doesn’t always sit well with him. (32:00) There is a difference between birth control pills and the bioidentical hormones of today. Hormones play a significant role in multiple organ systems, including the heart, bones, and brain. Is testosterone replacement necessary for men or women?

(6:00) It is basically anything that enhances athletic performance. There are also “ergonomic” aids specific to equipment. Ergogenic aids are not always worth the packaging they are in. (12:30) However, consuming meat and eggs is ideal for getting protein. There are various other forms of protein powder, but they still aren’t as good as meat and eggs. (17:00) Some clinical trials use injected forms rather than ingested forms. (20:30) There has recently been a lot of talk about NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). (25:00) The reality is, we don’t fully know the efficacy of these things. Two ergogenic substances we know are helpful for performance are coffee and creatine monohydrate. (30:00) SARMS and peptides. (39:00) A new claim about GLP-1s is that they cause scurvy, which is typically a vitamin C deficiency. SARMS (selective androgen receptor modulator) and steroids are different.

She needs to focus on what she’s doing when she’s *not* in the game. (14:00) He uses his own training history as an example. Optimal training happens in Zone 2, low and slow. (21:00) Training with a planned “down” schedule helps your body recover better and build endurance. (27:00) The process is similar when doing anaerobic exercises (weight training). (28:45) It makes sense to scale up cardio, then bring it back down, but how does that work for strength training? (31:50) Vinnie’s workouts follow a periodization plan, which allows for proper recovery between workouts. What should people be doing on their “rest” days? (37:00) Doing aerobics, like a good walk, is “active rest.” Mobility exercises are an option as well. Pilates is good for strength, but it also works the body differently, so adjusting Pilates workouts may be necessary to accommodate weight-training workouts. Meaning, you don’t want to focus on the same muscle groups two days in a row. (38:00) Vinnie advises what to do on your “off” days to get the most bang for your buck. (43:00) You can usually find used equipment on places like Facebook Marketplace. Interval training is also a good addition. (47:00) He explains what a “four by four” is, which is a form of HIIT (high-intensity interval training).

When she started, gymnastics was treated as an intramural club sport. Title 9 helped improve some of that. They discuss how funding has affected college recruitment.

(20:00) There may have been nuance involved in measurement, but it was still an impressive outcome. Training or lifting “until failure” isn’t for everyone—you need a partner who can spot you and guide you. (33:00) They discuss what exactly “failure” is.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: Stopping Food Noise Today’s topic is the conversation around “food noise.” (3:30) The term has gained traction since GLP-1s became more popular. "Counting culture" has also contributed—people seek ways to accommodate unhealthy foods. (5:00) They discuss popular snack foods, cravings, and weight gain. The best thing you can do is not bring those types of food into the house. They share stories about ice cream and eating it on rare occasions. (16:00) If you are going to do “Life Into Living,” save it for something truly good, not some dumb junk food. For example, have a gelato when you are in Italy. (19:00) Important note: If you want to stop food noise, do not eat the food that causes it. (22:00) Processed foods are meant to trigger cravings and addiction. When you switch to a low-carb diet, the food cravings often lessen over time and can even completely go away. (23:00) Going low-carb naturally mimics the effects of GLP-1 without side effects. Food has become political rather than just food. (31:00) Various diets have also become a type of food noise. People labeling themselves have gained an almost religious fervor. Subsidized crops are used as filler in processed foods; as a result, real, whole foods are more expensive. (35:00) They discuss Instacart and its impact on in-store grocery prices. (37:50) They discuss money, time, resources, and goals to eat healthy, quick meals. (41:00) Start doing things yourself and stop mailing it out to everyone else.

(2:30) He is the president of Alphacat Consulting and focuses on personal growth and authentic leadership, with extensive expertise in navigating both professional and personal transformation. The Hard-Hard is your “Why”: what is the physical, emotional, spiritual goal, and working towards it. What does Bobby have as examples for what “Easy-Hard” means? (9:30) Bobby describes his health journey not just for weight loss but for overall wellness. (17:00) People are often afraid of hard things, and at the other end of the spectrum, others think that if you’re not suffering, you’re not working hard enough. (20:00) There is meaning in the middle: struggle doesn’t need to mean suffering. Finding your why is important, but not for the reason of “keeping up with the Joneses.” They discuss the meaning of “Riding the Tiger.” (26:00) Vinnie prefers to be active because it helps open his mind to new ideas. (37:00) The longer you wait to start something, the harder it is to start at all, and the delay gets longer. (41:00) They discuss a type of “divine intervention.” You have to find your own rhythm. (46:00) Don’t buy into anyone else’s dogma. (47:30) They discuss self-talk, beliefs, and visualization. (53:00) Don’t let the world get in your way.

(4:00) Vinnie loves the 4-day routine. (13:00) It includes both “to failure” days and less-intense days that are still effective workouts. This allows you some flexibility. Childhood playgrounds of a couple of decades ago are very different than today’s equipment. (18:00) Your body adapts over time; however, Vinnie explains that flexibility is built into the workout. (28:00) Life gets in the way, and missing a workout once or twice every 3 months or so won’t be a problem. But if you miss more than that, you will not see the results you want. What about ab exercises? (33:15) Vinnie only does abs on pull days or leg days. The Winter Olympics are on, and this leads to talking about the sport of Curling. (38:00) The biggest mistake a person can make with these workouts is *not* doing them. (46:00) Find ways to make the most of your time. Use your time well. There is such a thing as *over* exercising.

Dangers of Muscle Loss - Episode 2763 02/16/2026

Dangers of Muscle Loss - Episode 2763 Episode 2763- Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the adverse effects of GLP-1s, the dangers of muscle loss, and whether more fiber is necessary. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/02/dangers-of-muscle-loss-episode-2763 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: Dangers of Muscle Loss Semiglutide update: hate to say "I told ya so..." 4:00) They discuss perpetual motion. (8:00) This relates to GLP-1 in the fact that there is nothing you can do that doesn’t cause a consequence somewhere else. (11:30) Vinnie discusses dealing with his second bout of cancer a couple of years ago. He is determined to be as active and healthy as possible. Eating strict NSNG seems to have helped him fight cancer more than if he had not been eating clean. (12:00) If you lose weight the old-fashioned way through proper eating, about 20-25% of your weight loss will be muscle. (16:00) However, that can be offset with exercise, particularly strength training. With GLP-1, a person will lose at least 40% of their muscle mass. (17:00) This matters because a lack of muscle contributes to all-cause mortality, and you can die sooner. Sarcopenia (natural muscle loss) occurs with age, typically starting around age 35, but it can be significantly slowed with strength training. (18:00) The number one drug Vinnie used to get asked about was statins, but now it’s about GLP-1s. (21:00) If a person is losing a lot of muscle on GLP-1s, you can bet it’s affecting their heart, because the heart is muscle. (25:00) Anna shares some info she’s heard recently regarding Dr. Ben Bikman. (27:30) Some Thoughts About Fiber There is also debate about fiber. (36:00) They discuss myths about fiber and whether it is as necessary as others have claimed. Anna shares a story that makes her super happy about her cookbooks. (46:00) Vinnie is trying a week off from eating cheese, but he’s wrapping up the week with Anna’s Cheese Bites for the Super Bowl. (48:30) They conclude the episode with a discussion of discontinuing GLP-1s. Talk to your doctor for the proper protocol. If you decide to continue GLP-1s, please start strength training to offset muscle loss.

They discuss using CBD oil for pain relief. (6:30) And, as always, do your research. (10:30) Laura reports knee issues during exercise. (13:00) Stairclimbing can be done in a way to lessen any knee pain. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) and glucosamine can support joint health, but they must be taken consistently over time to see results. Laura struggles to get started on her workouts on some days. (27:00) Rowing is an effective exercise, and Vinnie offers suggestions. (28:00) The clicking sounds Laura hears when her knees “crack” are most likely nitrogen bubbles in her joints. (36:30) Laura has one final question regarding making kombucha.

(6:15) Vinnie’s workouts haveperiodization built into the program. Periodization is the structure of workouts into cycles: “macro, meso, micro.” (12:30) Another way of saying this is: to change things up to keep things fresh. Vinnie goes deeper, using his 2-day routine as an example. (15:00) Periodization is a way to build strength by focusing on different parts of the body. (19:00) Another approach Vinnie uses is in his aerobic exercise. (23:00) Depending on his goal, Vinnie changes things up. How do you know when you should mix things up? (33:00) When you’re not seeing much change happening in your strength, or when you’re getting bored. (39:00) There is such a thing as changing things up too frequently as well. (41:00) If you feel like you are not making progress, it may actually be time to let up for a little bit, not necessarily grind harder.

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: A Lazy Protein Guide After some Flashdance talk, Vinnie and Anna welcome their guest, actress Sarah Baker. (11:45) Sarah’s question is what is the 'lazy' way to get more protein into each day. (14:00) It’s better to eat protein at each of the three meals each day rather than cram it into one or two. Stay away from hemp and pea proteins. The best protein is whey protein. (20:00) There are three types of whey: standard, concentrate, and isolates. Vinnie recommends either the standard or the concentrate; isolates are bastardized because they are more highly processed. Casein protein also has a good amino acid profile. (26:00) What is the difference between bovine protein, collagen, marine collagen, etc.? (30:00) Plant-based proteins are not effective. (38:00) Colostrum is the first milk a mother provides naturally. (41:00) Please be aware of claims that say colostrum for adults has benefits. Vinnie hates diet culture and the push to record macros all day, every day. (50:00 How do you calculate how much protein you need? (59:00) Getting between .6g and 1g per pound of lean body mass should be enough. Be careful around the gym bros — they don't always give good advice. They finish with a talk about their favorite music and concerts. Did you miss it?: The NSNG® VIP group closed, but you can get onto the waitlist for next time by signing up at .
