A Different Way to Be

  • It’s important to keep inflammation as low as possible. (8:00)
  • Vinnie is focusing on gut health and wonders if the raw milk kefir he’s incorporated into his diet helps; he is feeling 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.
