Brought Pure Coffee Club coffee and had some on air
- Wanted house blend to taste like real Louisiana coffee
  - Beans from all over – Ethiopia, Sumatra, Costa Rica
    - All roasted differently, too
- Decaf never gonna happen
This was filmed live with all meet up participants in KC!

NSNG QUESTIONS

How does one figure out lean body mass?
- Go listen to last Monday show!
- Not a caliber that actually works
Is fiber wheat? Is fiber bad?
- First, Vinnie won’t go against a doctor’s opinion, particularly in a post-op or post-sick situation
- Vegetables have fiber, too
- Psyllium husk binds you up for about a week, which can’t be good
  - Psyllium husk is BAD
- Fiber in veggies is okay, particularly cruciferous veggies
SAD all about less fat, all BS
- Go in with any problem, doctors will tell you things like “eat less fat”, “more of x, less of y”
Listen for more!
