In this episode, I’m joined by Vinny Russo—clinical nutritionist, personal trainer, and new dad—for a no-BS conversation on blood work, functional medicine hype, and how to actually get results without chasing 500 lab markers or miracle supplements. We dive into the difference between real coaching and overstepping your lane, how to use a primer phase before cutting, why rush cuts come with a cost, and how GLP-1 meds can be helpful if used the right way. This one’s packed with gold.
