(6:30) They are trying to manipulate health numbers by temporarily quitting drinking. Vinnie has told the person they are lying to themselves about what it takes to be healthy. You can't lie yourself into a healthy diet. Using something like a GLP-1 is no different: you're tricking your body into a specific response, but if the lifestyle doesn't change, the weight will return when the drug is stopped. (13:00) We don't advocate smoking tobacco or pot because the long-term use is damaging. (16:00) However, Vinnie and Chris discuss the odd and inconsistent tobacco use rules. Fitness: are we doing it "wrong" (according to an article in the New York Times)? (29:00) So many people join the gym, but something as simple as walking is great! (34:00) Adding some weight can help, especially uphill. Get up and get moving! (39:00) Vinnie unleashes a bunch of ideas he's considering. (50:00) Interested in joining the NSNG® VIP group?
