Making a Life Shift

  • Laura is the first guest. (3:00)
    • She has been relatively inactive most of her life, aside from some hiking and kayaking; however, she wants to become more active, healthy, and strong.
    • They discuss using CBD oil for pain relief. (6:30)
      • And, as always, do your research. (10:30)
    • Laura reports knee issues during exercise. (13:00)
    • Stairclimbing can be done in a way to lessen any knee pain.
    • MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) and glucosamine can support joint health, but they must be taken consistently over time to see results.
    • Laura struggles to get started on her workouts on some days. (27:00)
    • Rowing is an effective exercise, and Vinnie offers suggestions. (28:00)
    • The clicking sounds Laura hears when her knees “crack” are most likely nitrogen bubbles in her joints. (36:30)
    • Laura has one final question regarding making kombucha. (38:30)
  • Bobby is the second guest. (45:00)
    • Bobby used to weigh over 350 pounds!
    • Once he lost significant weight, he began wanting to gain muscle mass.
    • He has DEXA results that he wants to address.
    • They discuss heavy lifting, limitations, and goal adjustments, particularly to improve body composition and achieve a more defined look.
    • Bobby encourages people to make a life shift because it will be worth it — if he can do it, anyone can!

Gaming the System

  • The first caller is Lee. (6:00)
    • Lee has been off and on NSNG for several years and has been listening to the podcast since early on.
    • He gives his backstory about NSNG®. (15:00)
  • He uses several protocols in addition to NSNG®; however, Vinnie has some questions and suggestions for Lee. (21:00)
    • He has lost and gained significant weight several times, and it’s affecting his health.
    • Vinnie is trying to get Lee to stumble less. Lee needs to stop trying to game the system.
    • Lee also started lifting to strengthen his knees. He realized his sore knees were probably less about arthritis and more about lack of strength.
  • Shelly joins the call. (46:00)
    • She gives Vinnie an update on her health metrics.
    • A DEXA scan is the best way to detect body composition (bone density, muscle growth, and body fat percentage). (50:00)
      • A scale doesn’t give you all that information.
