Vinny Lingham: Why “Healthy” Foods Don’t Work for Everyone | DSH #1724
31 Dec 2025
Chapter 1: Why did inflammation become Vinny's main health focus?
You can get your omega-3 to 6 ratio as low as possible.
Chapter 2: What are the differences between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids?
In an ideal world, one-to-one.
Chapter 3: How did cutting seed oils and processed foods impact Vinny's health?
Mine's at three right now. I try hard to get it down, but you know, it's tough when you're traveling. You have a steak, you know, the animal's fed corn, so it's got a high omega-6 ratio.
Chapter 4: What strategies does Vinny use to manage risk in poker and crypto?
So it's hard to get it down to one-to-one. But if you look at a lot of the studies around longevity, people who have very low levels of omega-6s tend to live longer. Wow. And be healthier. And so you see this in like Okinawa and all these different parts of the world where kind of like the blue zones where you have these centenarians.
And one common theme is very, very high three to six ratios and more threes and sixes. Omega threes are anti-inflammatory. Omega sixes are inflammatory. So you want to cut out your diet every way. Your body can make some of the sixes, but you get enough laces.
Chapter 5: What insights does Vinny share about the carnivore vs vegan diet debate?
You don't need a lot of sixes. And if you have too much, you have inflammation. So I took my HSCRP, which is inflammation marker from 3.7 down to like 1.3, which is really, really good.
Chapter 6: How do incentives shape our food and finance systems?
So I cut out seed oils and I cut out high fructose corn syrup.
Okay, guys, got Vinny here. We're in Vegas. He was here last month, right?
Yeah, last month.
Chapter 7: What are the implications of testing your body and tracking biomarkers?
And you're back already.
I'm back already. Vegas is a regular hotspot for me.
Yeah, well, with your lifestyle, right? With poker and everything?
Poker, it's where a lot of the poker is played, for sure.
You made a good run in the World Series this year. Congrats. Thank you. It was great. Was that your best outing out of any performance?
Definitely. I mean, so I've really given myself really to playing the high rollers. I mean, I'll play a little small one year in there. I did the main event. I lost it like two days, and I got kind of tired of it. You got bored, right? It's a very long event. I mean, it's a seven-day stretch. And it's funny, actually.
On day two, I was right towards the end, and I was kind of like just below average, maybe 20% below average stack. And I was like, I don't really want to go into day three, kind of struggling to keep up with the average stack as the bigs are moving down. And I said to myself, okay, let me just make a move. If I bust out, I bust out, and I'll go play the high roller the next day, which was...
brilliant sort of as the outcome, right? Because I wound up coming fifth in the high road the next day. So that was a pretty big win for me as well, like in terms of my career.
Yeah. Yeah. You made it deep. That was 100K, right?

Chapter 8: What shocking discoveries did Vinny make while filming his documentary?
He could bring down Bitcoin to some extent. He could actually cause an unraveling.
Yeah. Well, now with institutional money, I don't think that would ever happen, right?
I'll challenge you on that. Really?
You think it could actually crash?
Yeah, because what's happening with MicroStrategy is he has to keep issuing these new types of convertibles in order to pay people from the previous convertibles he's issued because he doesn't want to sell the Bitcoin.
Oh, wow.
So it's kind of like, you know, it looks a bit primitive, you know, right now. And But, you know, the issue I've got with it is he has a single class of MicroStrategy shares and he's got all these layers on top of it. So if you own MSTR, you're the back of the queue. And so what we're seeing now is as Bitcoin's moving up, you know, MSTRs aren't moving up. So you've got this like, OK, well, why?
It's supposed to be a higher beta version of Bitcoin, but it's not performing as such. And so there comes a time where he can't fund the purchase of more Bitcoin selling MicroStrategy common stock because there's just too much preference behind it. Wow. So I've tweeted about this publicly. I've said that, you know, be careful of MicroStrategy.
And I think that my prediction would be that he does more damage to Bitcoin eventually than FTX did. Wow. Are you serious? I think it's a real possibility.
