(2:30) The huge amounts of frosting and sweetness were an assault on the senses. The gimmicks never end: Gina has seen vending machines for cupcakes. (6:45) Vinnie remembers taking Tallulah to frozen yogurt when she was a kid, but he limited how many toppings. (8:00) They recall when Vinnie was trying junk food on the air. (9:00) There were two of the items Vinnie tried that stuck in his head about how awful they were. So many people have been brainwashed into thinking junk food is good! (14:55) Remapping your brain is possible! (16:00) When you cleanse your brain and palette, whole foods taste even better! Vinnie has a lot of experience helping people to remove things like soda from their lives. (18:45) It only leads to better health. People make the mistake of telling themselves they can't give up things like sodas or sweets. Those who were resistant initially can't believe how much better they feel without it. That's why it is said so often that sugar is a drug—because it is addicting. The unsexy truth is to eat right, get rid of junky food, and exercise. (25:00) Gina has a new Instagram @myextrafamily and a new website, https://myextraseries.com. Check out Gina's book My Extra Mom. She also co-hosts with Bryan Bishop for @LAmag on the Bryan & Gina Show, which you can find on any podcast platform and YouTube.
