Ignorance vs. Choice – Episode 2313

Episode 2313 – On this Monday’s show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino answer several questions regarding health, plus the concern of ignorance vs. choice in lifestyle, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

IGNORANCE vs. CHOICE

Vinnie and Anna start the show chatting about various streaming shows that they’ve been (or should) be watching, as well as the 80s movies they enjoy. (2:00)
They then switch to answering questions from social media. (13:20)
- How can you influence those you care about to try NSNG^® before they go on meds?
  - Both Vinnie and Anna have insight about this, and some of it boils down to ignorance (about what works) vs. choice (ignoring what they know).
  - Anna had the same struggle with her mom, as well as with other people she knows.
  - All you can do is be a good example–don’t preach to those who are not ready.
- How much fiber is needed when someone has gut issues? (33:20)
- How much is too much cheese or dairy? (46:15)
- What are some good arm exercises? (48:45)
  - Vinnie gives some suggestions and Vinnie demonstrates one (so watch the video, too).
  - You may be amazed at how doing exercises properly, even with lighter weights, can really work your arms and shoulders.

Especially if you are new to the show, head over to iTunes or wherever you listen to the podcast, and write a great review! It helps the show gets noticed more, and gets the word out about NSNG^® and good health!

All About Protein Powders – Episode 2310

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2310 – On this Monday’s show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino answer some questions from prepping to run a race to teaching you all about protein powders, and more.

Vinnie goes through various types of protein powders, including for vegans and vegetarians. (14:00)
- Vegans and vegetarians may use pea or hemp protein, but they aren’t as digestible and are incomplete.
- Vinnie lists the various type of protein powders (whey, egg, etc.) and the differences between each.

- Stay away from powders that have flavors–they most likely have sweeteners and aren’t NSNG^®.
