(3:00) Jim is the first call-in guest, who discovered Vinnie’s podcast through Mike Rowe. (5:30) There is such a thing as overeating even of healthy foods.

(26:30) She has come a long way and is now running ultramarathons. She has also changed her life in other areas that have helped, including reducing alcohol.

(44:30) He shares his health background and how he discovered Vinnie. Severe sleep apnea was depriving him of proper oxygen levels, and his doctor put him on a CPAP machine.
