Exercise is King

  • Vinnie tells a story of “who is influencing whom?” (3:00)
    • We can all do better, encourage each other, and be an example.
  • The American Journal of Public Health recently published an article that highlights the connections between the marketing approaches of Big Food and Big Tobacco. (13:00)
    • Lunchables are marketed as having a good amount of protein; however, the breakdown shows otherwise. (19:00)
    • Big Food’s entire goal is to get you addicted to their products. (28:00)
    • You can find a book focusing on this topic in Vinnie’s Book Club on his Amazon page.
    • The book is “Salt, Sugar, Fat” by Michael Moss: https://amzn.to/4vUJl3b
  • It appears that the American Heart Association finally agrees with what Vinnie has been saying for years: exercise is a poor way to lose weight. (43:00)
    • Exercise is king for health and longevity! However, you need to eat real food, too.
  • Another epidemiological study on meat consumption; however, it compares processed meats (like salami, pepperoni) to white meat, such as chicken (not processed). The comparison is off, so the outcome is off. (50:00)
  • For a recent study on drinking tea, the article included all kinds of caveats, but the article about meat did not.
  • Update on the PVC Magnesium product. (1:05:30)
  • Anna’s products are now linked to PureVitamin Club’s website. Look under the “Food and Snacks” section to purchase them there, too. 
    • https://purevitaminclub.com/collections/food-and-snacks
    • Vinnie hopes to add other products as well, all of which will be health-related.
  • The NSNG® VIP GROUP IS NOW CLOSED AGAIN AS OF SUNDAY, MARCH 15TH

Flip the Script

  • Vinnie just got back from Barbados, his first real vacation in a while. (3:00)
    • He shares a story of how the locals were friendly and helpful.
    • He didn’t, however, engage with a pina colada as planned.
  • The first caller is Ty.
    • He got to meet Anna at a fundraising comedy show, and it was better than Disneyland. (17:00)
    • He and his partner, Michelle, are members of the VIP group and love the community. (19:00)
    • Ty’s question: Summarize for newcomers to NSNG, the easiest first step one can take when starting.
    • Anna: Start with your favorite proteins and build around that. Grilling and stovetop first—quicker and easier to get into. (25:00)
    • Vinnie reminds you to be mindful, but avoid being carb-phobic. Cruciferous veggies are your friend. (29:00)
  • Second call-in guest is Trish:
    • Trish has been NSNG off and on for years. She is struggling to get back into it mentally.
      • They discuss various reasons.
    • Be careful of the story you tell yourself. You need to flip the script in your head. (40:00)
  • Leslie is starting her own trail mix company with clean ingredients. (43:00)
    • She’s done a lot of research, and it’ll be especially great for camping and hiking.

Nutrition and Meds

  • Amy is the next caller, and she has a nutrition question.
    • She recently had an intestinal blockage and was in the hospital. (53:00)
      • They discuss possible options as Amy transitions back to regular foods from IV fluids.
    • She is a former triathlete who wants to transition into weight training. (59:30)
      • You can get strong without hours of training.
  • Wayne is next and needs to be wearing some different t-shirt merch. (1:24:00)
    • He tried to transition slowly into NSNG—he’s not a “cold turkey” kind of person.
    • He has some concerns with his blood pressure and the medication he is on.
    • Vinnie does not give medical advice, but they discuss what could be causing it.
    • They advise Wayne to get a full health workup and to let his doctor know that he has changed his meds. (1:25:00)
      • Never stop medications without consulting your doctor first!
