 - NSNG® 101 Part 2, but first, a little bit about the Charlie Sheen documentary, currently on Netflix, called aka Charlie Sheen. (6:30) 
- Addiction is a constant challenge for some people.
 - Medically guided psychedelics are an emerging modality for people to use for various issues. (19:00)
 
 - Anna shares an article about a man who had cholesterol leaking out of his skin. (26:00)
 - A man is following a carnivore diet and consuming extremely high amounts of fat—pounds of fat every day. 
- He developed xanthelasma, a condition where cholesterol accumulates and develops yellow growths under the skin.
 
 - Vinnie feels the article is a hit piece. The authors took an anomaly and made it a "hit piece."
 
- They discuss not needing to track macros. (35:00) 
- Lose the obsession with food!
 - Tracking can be beneficial as a stopgap measure to assess where you're at. (39:00)
 
 - White potatoes vs. sweet potatoes. (42:00) 
- The glycemic index is a factor.
 - If you are going to enjoy a small portion of sweet potato, boiling it is best.
 
 - Nuts and nut butters are good, but can be overdone, so be careful. (49:00) 
- In terms of fat and carb content, pili nuts and macadamia nuts are the best.
 - Pecans and walnuts are next, but get plain raw ones, as roasted ones are often in seed oils. (54:00)
 - Almonds are good, but cashews and pistachios are higher in carbs.
