Vinny Lingham: Why “Healthy” Foods Don’t Work for Everyone | DSH #1724
Digital Social Hour
Early Bitcoin Advocacy and 2015 TEDx Talk
Vinny reflects on his 2015 TEDx talk, early Bitcoin adoption, and how Bitcoin's narrative shifted over time.
What if the health advice most people follow is backwards?
In this episode, Vinny shares his personal health journey — from early Bitcoin adoption and high-stakes poker to radically changing his diet, tracking inflammation, and questioning mainstream nutrition advice.
We talk about omega-3 vs omega-6 ratios, seed oils, processed foods, crypto cycles, risk management, and why testing your body matters more than following dogma.
This conversation includes:
• Why inflammation became his main health focus
• Cutting seed oils and ultra-processed foods
• Tracking biomarkers instead of trusting headlines
• Carnivore vs vegan debates (without ideology)
• Poker, performance, and mental stamina
• Early Bitcoin adoption and crypto risk cycles
• Why going “all-in” is usually a mistake
• How incentives shape food and finance systems
This isn’t advice.
It’s one person’s data-driven experience — and an invitation to think critically.
