    Episode 2786 - Vinnie Tortorich speaks with return guest Dr. Jason Fung about managing hunger signals, the effects of GLP-1s, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/04/hunger-signals-dr-jason-fung-episode-2786 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

The quality of calories matters to your health. (8:00) What you eat determines what your body does. (11:15) There is a limit to how much you should eat, however. (12:00) Natural foods trigger satiety; ultra-processed foods mess with the body's natural signaling hormones. There are three types of hunger: homeostatic (physical), hedonic (emotional), and conditioned (social). (17:00) Food companies, over the years, have developed ways to keep you eating, even when your body isn't truly hungry. (27:00) Many foods trigger a conditioned response. The term "food noise" is all over the place. Once you get your hormones working properly through low-carb, "food noise" goes away. (31:00) The process isn't overnight, but it will happen. Dr. Fung offers his thoughts on "food noise." (33:00) So much of our eating today is driven by conditioned responses and activities paired with food. GLP1s Are Not Magic GLP-1 naturally occurs in the body, and certain foods like protein and fiber will trigger it properly in your body. But the medical doses administered pharmacologically are massive and squelch all hunger signals. The biggest problem with exogenous GLP-1s is the loss of your body's ability to learn and respond to proper hunger signals. (36:30) Another issue is that it can also dull *everything* else in life, too. (40:00) They are a tool, not a magic bullet. Oftentimes, when a person stops the drug, they often gain even more fat than before. (42:00) There is, of course, the concern of muscle loss as well. If you are already fighting sarcopenia and add GLP-1s, there could be serious issues to follow. (43:00) Vinnie discusses "eating through" both bariatric surgery and now the GLP-1 meds. (46:00) These drugs can be effective, but there is always a cost. They discuss the transition Weight Watchers made when it entered the GLP-1 market. (54:00) They discuss other peptides and whether or not they are beneficial. (57:00) They discuss other "miracle cure" trends. What you *can* do is trust real food!

(3:00) He recently watched a movie called "Soul On Fire," and shares its inspirational story. (17:30) Dental floss story and hippy toothbrushes. (31:00) Why is Zone 2 cardio so great? (38:00) Zone 1 is fine to start with if you've led a sedentary lifestyle. Zone 2 is optimal for many reasons and falls in the range of 70% through 79% of your aerobic capacity. There are many biological benefits to staying in this range, including mitochondrial health and blood health. Zone 2 can be used alongside VO2 Max training, especially if you are training for an event. VO2 max is defined as the maximum rate at which your body can use oxygen during exercise. (49:00) If you are starting from a sedentary lifestyle, do not jump into this type of training without a consultation from your doctor. Zones 3, 4, and 5 are more difficult and not meant for long intervals. (52:00) HIIT training is not meant to be done every day. Vinnie explains what a "quad" is and how he does it. (55:00) If you're using a device like a Fitbit or Garmin (or similar), what should you look for in your numbers? So that you know, those devices aren't always super accurate. They can help, however. If you are near a hospital and can have a stress test done, do it. Do not do VO2 max training without knowing your range, as determined by the stress test.

(2:00) As we get older, testosterone drops; if you start it, it's not likely you'll get off of them because it's hard to stop them. "Free testosterone" seems to be a big indicator; that is, the amount that is available for your body to use. (21:00) There are always many questions surrounding peptides and hormone replacement. The advice Vinnie likes to recommend is to fix everything else with your metabolic health first, and then see if you still need it. (23:30) Often, the decline isn't age-related but diet- and lifestyle-related. (25:00) Vitamin D, especially from sunlight, contributes to hormone production, as do zinc and magnesium. Being obese has the largest impact on testosterone and metabolic function. (30:00) Lifting weights has a massive positive impact on your metabolism and hormone production (31:00). Quality sleep makes a difference! Just a three-hour difference in sleep can change levels in as little as a week. (32:00) Diet has the largest impact. The amount of fats, how many meals, and snacking—all of it can affect how (or if) your body creates enough hormones. (32:30) Magnesium is also good for building testosterone. (41:00) DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is derived from testosterone and can have effects on the prostate, hair loss, and more. (45:00) A good saw palmetto can help block the overproduction of DHT. As always, please do your research first. Creatine, when used in conjunction with heavy lifting, can be beneficial. Sleep affects many things, including leptin, ghrelin, and appetite. (56:00) Make sure you do your research before you decide on using testosterone. If your diet and lifestyle are optimal and you are still having issues, then maybe explore it.
