How to Keep Moving Forward
- Anna shares a wise reminder that applies to most things, including fitness and health: This Too Shall Pass. (2:00)
- Vinnie discusses a recent consult with “Judy” and what things were happening that have stalled her weight loss. (2:30)
- He doesn’t like the word “plateau,” because your body is always doing something.
- What it does depends on whether you are doing negative or positive things.
- So you need to keep moving forward!

Sugar Feeds Cancer
- Getting calories on people when they are dealing with cancer or similar things is difficult. (14:00)
- Often people just need to keep their weight on when their appetite is gone.
- Vinnie is dealing with 3-4 people right now who are fighting cancer; he shares his personal advice—but reminds us he is not a doctor.
- He describes his own experience during cancer regarding appetite and food.
- He recommends staying away from sugars because sugar and other carbs feed cancer. (19:30)
- However, if a person is struggling to eat during chemo, they need to keep weight on and they should eat what they can.
- Because at that point, their body needs something to have energy to fight.
- He also recommends desiccated liver capsules; but only the fatty kind.
- He makes other recommendations with protein, too.
- Anna reads a label sent in by listener Kristy Smith; the label is from Nestle Health Science. (23:30)
- As you can guess, it’s pretty much an abomination.
- It’s a mix of bad ingredients with added vitamins and amino acids; however, the added supplements are less than two percent of the ingredients! (27:00)
- Cancer grows out of damaged cells; when mitochondria get damaged, cancer grows from that. (28:00)
