Trainer-to-the-Stars Vinnie Tortorich: "Sugar is the enemy." - #57


Listen Later

Is a vegan diet sustainable? Is the body’s fuel of choice fat or carbohydrates? Is sugar the real root of the problem?

Vinnie Tortorich - the trainer to the stars - gives answers and isn’t apologetic when it comes to stating facts. Even as a student back at Tulane, he knew to ask questions when something did not seem right.

With an educational background in physiology and nutrition, this fitness coach knows how valuable providing proper nutrition is for his clients. He's published book, three documentaries, and several businesses under his name, yet he still coaches simply because he loves it.

Listen as Vinnie points out the importance of eating meat, gives us some historical facts on veganism, and even shares behind-the-scenes stories about his documentaries.

For coffee snobs, stay tuned until the end because you might want to ask for part 2 of their conversation.
