(3:00) Barry is a chef and has come up with a product using organ meats. Vinnie hates liver, but he tried and loved it—there was no organ meat flavor. They share some thoughts, both pros, and cons, about some of the health conferences they know about. (4:00) They also discuss how a lot of companies misrepresent their product because of lax rules on labeling standards. (15:45) People don't understand they are being duped. James shares some of his concerns with labeling; for example, whether "organic" is truly organic. Vinnie has some additional insight through some of his own research. James is concerned that only the wealthy can be healthy due to the cost of things like grass-fed meats. (26:00) Vinnie and he discuss the cost of groceries and Vinnie shares ideas on finding deals. Vinnie asks James to share how he became a chef and about his product "Pluck", which you can find on Amazon and on James' website eatpluck.com. (47:00) James feels has found his calling and a healthy purpose by creating a product that allows people to get nose-to-tail nutrients. Organ meats are the most nutrient-dense foods. You can use Pluck in small amounts and build up your nutrient intake. Vinnie was impressed that the products didn't taste like organ meats and only had clean seasonings—no sugar or fillers.

(2:00) Vinnie and Gina give an earnest reminder to always reach out to someone when feeling mentally distressed. There are so many people who care, even when it doesn't feel like it. Gina shares a recent NSV (non-scale victory)—she fits into a new pair of jeans! (11:00) She has results she can FEEL, and it feels amazing. She added in a little intermittent fasting. But she also reads an article from the NYPost that claims intermittent fasting raises blood sugar, which doesn't makes sense. This leads to a conversation about how things like lycra and leggings help hide things like weight gain. (20:00) As a result, people end up ignoring and/or delaying changes in their habits. Both lycra and many epidemiological studies can be a type of "bending the truth." Back to the NYPost article: Vinnie addresses why epidemiological studies can't fully be trusted. (26:30) Correlation does not mean causation. There are so many variables, like sleep, and misreporting of food intake. Vinnie quizzes Gina and not even her MENSA card can help her out on this one! Gina gives an example of how her schedule affected her; her body became very dysregulated. 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 on YouTube.
