STRETCHING

Stretching is INCREDIBLY important
Doing it before, does not reap you a whole lot
- However, now that Vinnie is a bit older, he does a few stretches before doing anything athletic
  - Twists, pigeon pose, etc.
Vinnie NEVER bounces when he stretches – don’t!
- You can microscopically tear pieces of your muscle
More important is to stretch after a work out
- Helps loosen the muscles up
- Longer stretch
Serena likes yoga to stretch
Long slow distance is important, tune in next week
Do it as a relaxing thing
It is a discipline that you really should make time for
- Within an hour of finishing a work out, go into stretches

Celebrity Dopplegangers…

Angela Lansbury & Sir Paul McCartney

WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY

Craig has lost 70 lbs just by changing his diet
- 330 lbs to 260 lbs
Carolla effect
Still has weight to lose
Had the opportunity to have weight loss surgery
- Risky, unhealthy, and really, temporary unless you change your diet
Might as well just go the diet route since it is safer and better for you
- AND much cheaper, too
- Also a sense of accomplishment by not having the surgery

PLAYBOY

Andy worked for Playboy for a long time
Vinnie also had a role there
Office had to make sure people did not overstep their boundaries
Did not use fact they were dealing with sexual-erotic material to act inappropriately in the work place
Cannot make other people feel uncomfortable
Tough for Vinnie because he had to comment on people’s physical appearance for his job

NEWS MEDIA

The media can often be brainless
People do not actually research what they report on
- Availability heuristic comes into play when reporters are looking for information on a topic
- Don’t actually delve into both sides
Many medical organizations are on the wrong track
- The media just follows these orgs that often have unsubstantiated claims without even considering another viewpoint

- Also consults very good for helping with this type of thing

Please be patient with your order getting to you, there were so many orders!
Reach out to Andy with questions

DOES NSNG NEED MORE SCIENCE?

Morbidly obese man on Twitter was asking for more science that proved NSNG was right
The proof is in our evolution!
- We evolved to this point eating meats, veggies, fruits
People who ate essentially NSNG/paleo had far fewer dietary health problems than we had
If you start eating NSNG for awhile, you will also notice that you feel much healthier
People are so misled by doctors who preach cholesterol/sat fats are bad
There is literature, though, if you need it
- Dr. Fung, Dr. Teicholz, Dr. William Davis, etc.
NSNG can improve your sex life, too!
NSNG is a lifestyle change, not a diet
Proof is also in all of the people who have lost tons of weight and improved their overall health changing their lifestyle this way
