(3:50) Dan Lynch has an impressive record—he has rowed over 1000 days in a row, 2000 meters a day. He rowed even while going through chemo. Dan challenges himself to streaks with daily rowing no matter what. But then Vinnie opened an email that led to a guy on TikTok who claimed to lose weight while eating McDonald's 100 days in a row. (8:00) Vinnie plays the video and Vinnie and Anna analyze what they see. (10:35) They explain why they are suspicious of the video as being authentic. There is skirting of details and the guy sounds coached. Looking at his TikTok, the guy appears quite media savvy. They review the bad dietary advice from the TikTok video. (23:30) The man in the video denies having a relationship with McDonald's. Vinnie adds some thoughts to what he's seen and heard. Anna asks a question regarding calories; CICO can help you lose weight, but it's unsustainable. CUE THE MUSIC Vinnie tries to calm down, and the best way to do that is through Indian music and Villa Cappelli. (30:15) Anna reads an email from Melissa about how NSNG has helped her during menopause. (37:20) Melissa even went vegan at one point but her symptoms got worse. Melissa's email is a positive message, as opposed to the TikTok video, which is like driving an infected monkey to an airport. At least The Today Show gave a disclaimer from a nutritionist verifying that eating only McDonald's is bad advice from TikTok. Vinnie shares some of the concerns he hears from people while having consultations. (42:00) He hears a variety of frustrations, including with their doctors and the "sick care" system. Anna and Vinnie believe there will be a huge fallout from the weight loss drugs that are popular now. Anna tells the story of a recent doctor's visit with her husband. (45:30) She discusses his A1C and fasting glucose and other concerns. Anna refers to Loren as "ASAG", "All sugars, all grains"–and it's starting to catch up to him. You have to find a doctor that is willing to work with you and who "gets it". Vinnie tells the story of Marie's fall, her injuries, and how Vinnie helped handle it. (50:00) You can't let doctors automatically steamroll you— you need to advocate for yourself! [the_ad id="20253"] PURCHASE BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE (2022) The documentary launched on January 11!
