      • The ratio between HDL and Triglycerides is a better indicator of heart health.
    • Carbohydrates really don’t help you build muscle; 5g of creatine is better. (43:00)

Metabolic Matters

  • Dr. Tro is an early contributor and guest on the show. (3:00)
    • Dr. Eric Westman’s work influenced him, and he has since collaborated with Dr. Westman.
    • Vinnie refers people to Dr. Tro all the time.
    • Dr. Tro is licensed in almost all states for telehealth services.
  • More than one-third of Americans are on a medication; the average for people over age 50 is on at least 4 medications. (10:30)
    • Many medications are helpful, but other ones are overprescribed. (12:00)
    • GLP-1s are an example of being overly prescribed.
    • People are often not counseled properly about lifestyle and just handed out the drug.
    • Most people can’t tolerate the side effects and are off of the drug within a year. (18:30)
    • Approximate 30-35% of the weight they lose on GLP-1s is muscle tissue; consequently, the heart is a muscle.
    • GLP-1s have a place in treatment, but their use is limited and restricted to certain situations. (26:00)

    • They discuss side effects of taking testosterone for both men and women. (38:00)
