In this episode, I had the absolute privilege of sitting down with Vinnie Tortorich, a pioneer in the health and fitness world. Vinnie is a seasoned personal trainer, filmmaker, and podcasting veteran, with a career spanning over 40 years. Known for his groundbreaking documentaries like Fat: A Documentary, Beyond Impossible, and Dirty Keto, Vinnie exposes the myths and misinformation rampant in the health and food industries.
We dive into his no-nonsense approach to nutrition, the transformative power of an NSNG (No Sugars, No Grains) lifestyle, and the bold truths behind diet trends like keto and carnivore. Vinnie shares the philosophy that shaped his career and personal life, including his inspiring journey battling leukemia while staying committed to optimal health. You don’t want to miss his take on food industry conspiracies, why science needs skepticism, and how to filter through the noise in modern wellness.
