Episode 27: Health and Fitness with Vinnie Tortorich #NSNG

Celebrity trainer Vinnie Tortorich joins the podcast to dispel common health and fitness myths. Mike has been a fan of Vinnie's since learning about his "NSNG" (No Sugar, No Grains) lifestyle on the Adam Carolla Show in 2015. Since then, Vinnie has continued to educate people about health and fitness - making three documentaries, a PDF/Ebook outlining the fundamentals of NSNG, and surpassing 2,300 podcasts! I highly recommend also checking out Episode 5 to hear more about Vinnie and his incredible life story.
