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.
