(8:00) Vinnie is focusing on gut health and wonders if the raw milk kefir he’s incorporated into his diet helps; he isfeeling better. There is a point at which hyper-focusing on health and longevity detracts from the quality of life, not necessarily enhancing it. (11:30) They discuss several public figures who lived a robust, long life. (13:00) Many people resign to getting older, but others keep going strong for as long as possible. Those examples are people who are choosing a different way to be. Store-bought kombuchas are flavored and have more sugar. (18:00) Vinnie makes his own at home. It's stronger flavored and way less sugary. They discuss espresso and higher-end espresso machines. (23:00) Margarine and other estrogenic products have been discussed with expert researchers like Dr. Anthony Jay. (32:00) Chris reads an article about a “fiber-filled gut trick.” (34:00) It’s basically “wood pulp” (microcrystalline cellulose). The number of ingredients, especially chemicals and fillers, in things like bread is insane. Many brands of bread are up to 4 grams of sugar per slice.

(13:00) Candy doesn’t pretend to be healthy, and if you eat it, you know you’re making a choice. That’s why LIL (Life Into Living) is meant as an infrequent treat. Some people are addicted to sugar, however, so they need to adjust their intake accordingly. He shares a story about going home to Donaldsonville and a local coffee shop. (19:00) One of the coffee drinks sounds very sweet. It has condensed milk in it, molasses, and brown sugar. Condensed milk has 166 grams of carbs in one cup!

Ten percent (the low-end percentage) of muscle loss in the 60 to 72 week time span is the same as 20 yearsof sarcopenia. (25:00) They give an example of a VIP member who has been slow to lose weight; however, they have figured out this person is undereating! Your metabolism can slow down if you aren’t getting enough calories. It can be as simple as adding another egg or two to make sure you are getting enough. This is the challenge with intermittent fasting and OMAD (one meal a day) approaches to eating. If you allow yourself to eat a treat, just get right back on the NSNG® plan. If you aren’t sure how to get started with NSNG®, get Vinnie’s e-book.  Chris shares some of his weight loss journey.  (42:00) He discovered his wheat and gluten sensitivity after stopping eating certain foods like pizza and pasta. Now he is so well-tuned with his health, he can tell if even a small amount of wheat is in his food. Avoid processed foods; they are addictive and damaging to your health.
