(2:30) How the hormones leptin, ghrelin, cortisol, and insulin work. (6:30) The body can become resistant to these hormones and create hunger even when your stomach is full. Teresa shares news regarding levels of chemicals in certain foods, including dark chocolate. (17:00) Vinnie advises athletes on what to do to bulk up. (22:00) You cannot "pump" fat; you can only "pump" muscle. Athletes need lean muscle, not fat. (23:30) Vinnie doesn't always advise protein powders, but there are a couple that may help with goals. (27:30) Creatine can help, too, but there are some caveats. (30:00) More is not better; if too much is taken over time, the body will downregulate and not produce its own. Other sources that have creatine are red meat and eggs. Creatine can also help with hydration, brain function, and other benefits.
