Episode 2827 – Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss lowering the bar when identifying obesity, smoking weed, and the effects of less sleep.
Lowering the Bar
- Vinnie has had a wonderful week. (3:45)
- He spent time with his best friend since childhood, and they ended up chatting about Jim’s health.
- Jim is ready to make some changes.
- The obesity rate has been coming down from its all-time high. (19:00)
- These metrics were taken between 2024 and 2025.
- However, childhood obesity is 20%, but in the 1970s, it was 3 or 4%.
- But what is considered obese has been redefined. (24:00)
- Lowering the bar doesn’t make things better.
- Also, the numbers were gathered by Gallup (people self-reporting), not from doctors.
- The introduction of GLP-1s is credited for these numbers, but that may not be accurate. (30:00)
- However, they still don’t seem to be a long-term solution because people abuse GLP-1s.
- Sleep has more impact on weight gain than you may think. (40:30)
- Less sleep can cause more cravings, among other things.
- Holy crap, we spent money on this study? (48:00)
- Result: Smoking weed is bad for your health.
- Daily smoking of weed holds the same risk of lung cancer as daily smoking of cigarettes. It’s not the substance; it’s the inhaling of smoke. (53:00)
