Remapping Your Brain

- The huge amounts of frosting and sweetness were an assault on the senses.
- The gimmicks never end: Gina has seen vending machines for cupcakes. (6:45)
- Vinnie remembers taking Tallulah to frozen yogurt when she was a kid, but he limited how many toppings. (8:00)
- They recall when Vinnie was trying junk food on the air. (9:00)
- There were two of the items Vinnie tried that stuck in his head about how awful they were.
- So many people have been brainwashed into thinking junk food is good! (14:55)
- Remapping your brain is possible! (16:00)
- When you cleanse your brain and palette, whole foods taste even better!
- Vinnie has a lot of experience helping people to remove things like soda from their lives. (18:45)
- It only leads to better health.
- People make the mistake of telling themselves they can’t give up things like sodas or sweets.
- Those who were resistant initially can’t believe how much better they feel without it.

- The unsexy truth is to eat right, get rid of junky food, and exercise. (25:00)
