A New Face

  • Gina was offered a great opportunity to be a co-host on The Woody Show podcast. (2:00)
    • Vinnie is happy for her and welcomes Teresa as a guest.
  • Teresa is also welcomed and will be co-hosting a few of the shows.
  • They chat about smoking and drinking in sports. (6:00)
    • Nicotine is the stimulant, tobacco is the killer.

Paying the Piper

  • NSNG® and low carb is best. (13:30)
    • Vinnie is happy people can lose weight but is concerned about the major side effects of GLP-1s.
      • The amount of muscle you can lose in addition to the fat (up to 60%) can be dangerous.
      • Don’t forget your heart is a muscle, so what is happening to it?
      • You need to do weight training in general to offset muscle loss for various reasons, but especially if using these drugs.
      • At some point, you risk “paying the piper.”
    • Teresa talks about the expense of GLP-1s and insurance. (20:00)
  • Dr. Ben Bikman discusses his concerns about GLP-1s in “Dirty Keto” and other platforms. (23:00)
  • Given the complete discussion, they talk about politicians and where they get their money. (26:00)
  • The commercials for certain drugs acknowledge that they can lower your A1C; however, not enough for you to be non-diabetic. (29:00)
    • However, lowering your carb intake will get your A1C to healthy levels, even without medication

Real Challenges

  • Food addiction is a very real challenge. (34:00)
  • They suggest reading “Salt, Sugar, Fat,” available in Vinnie’s Book Club. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DF5QS3H/
    • Processed foods are designed to make you addicted to them.
  • Teresa has a book out called “Making It Home,” which is in Vinnie’s Book Club. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0593546083/

 

  • Dirty Keto is officially released on Amazon! (27:30) https://amzn.to/4d9agj1
