You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know

  • Vinnie had an idea for a particular gym in his early years in Los Angeles. (2:00)
  • Chris’ goals this year. (10:00)
  • Vinnie has a namesake! (15:00)
    • Recent guest Joseph Raney (episode 2581, “Doing The Right Thing”) and his beautiful wife have a new baby, and he is named after Vinnie.
  • Chris asks Vinnie’s thoughts about the high percentage of people going on GLP-1s. (20:00)
    • Time has shown that several predictions Vinnie has made over the years have been revealed to be on point.
    • He is right about the effects of GLP-1s; the side effects will not be worth it.
    • Muscle wasting, loose stools, constipation, and “bounce back” weight gain once off the drug are just the beginning. (36:00)
    • More serious ones are obstructed bowel and gastroparesis (paralyzed intestines, so food doesn’t pass through).
    • There is muscle wasting, but don’t forget, your heart is a muscle, too.
  • When you regularly eat a lot of carbs, you don’t realize how much of your brain fog, aches, pains, etc. are related. It becomes your “normal,” and you don’t know what you don’t know.
  • Anna and Vinnie will be at Bold Fork Books in Washington, DC, on January 15, 2025. (52:00) 
  • If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, it’s OPEN for all your New Year’s motivation and accountability at https://vinnietortorich.com/vip/
