Why Vinny Plays High-Buyin Tournaments

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.
