: Episode 734 - Vinnie & Andy talk about the difference between white-labeling vitamins and Pure Vitamin Club (PVC) as well as the reason for using 4 types of magnesium instead of just 1 in a magnesium supplement. PEOPLE ASSUME (2:15) - Often, people assume that Vinnie's vitamin is white-labeled and that just uses his audience to sell someone else's product. White-labeling is very common and even some of close friends ask him if that is what he is doing with Pure Vitamin Club (4:35) - One of Vinnie's friends noticed that when he started taking Pure Vitamin Club vitamins, is pee was not fluorescent-yellow like when he takes other vitamins.

After they were done, they would eat a cookie or a muffin to replenish their glycogen. Doing this regularly causes the brain to begin associating low glycogen with eating a dessert. After awhile people would skip the aerobics and just go get the

: Episode 732 - Listener and NSNG success story Jess Allen Britt returns to talk about his weight loss journey, making NSNG a lifestyle instead of a diet, and developing grit. JESS ALLEN BRITT'S JOURNEY (3:00) - Jess tells his story Led a very sedentary life playing video games, drinking beer and eating ice cream during times of under employment. 370 lbs (6' tall), depressed, and so unhealthy that he'd throw his back out just walking around Has been trying to lose weight since daughter was born 5 years ago. 2 years ago he started to be able to keep it off IT'S ABOUT LIFESTYLE NOT POUNDS (6:00) - Vinnie works with a lot of large people and a loss of 100lbs seems to be the turning point where people start gaining the weight back. Jess believes that looking at a specific number of lbs to lose as a goal is not necessarily the way to go. The end number is not the way to look at it. You have to look at it like you're an addict, your an alcoholic and you can't function on alcohol so you just stop and you never go ba

: Episode 731 - Best-selling author and investigative journalist Gary Taubes returns to talk about his new book The Case Against Sugar and how the medical community and government are resisting the overwhelming evidence of sugar's harmfulness.

It's a hard tightrope to walk sometimes. GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES (4:20) - We have a fundamental problem because there are so many countries with government-sanctioned nutritional guidelines that are based on bad science. Anyone who gives dietary advice contrary to the popular beliefs is labeled as a radical. (8:00) - How do you respond to people who point to Southeast Asia as examples of high-grain, low saturated fat cultures that have

INTERMITTENT FASTING? (7:30) - There's a time and place for intermittent or medical fasts if you have broken metabolism is one thing.

(11:00) - Vinnie has never had a cortisone shot and is not a fan of them. In the past, athletes would be injected with cortisone to mask the pain from an injury allowing them to continue to play.
