Both Vinnie and Anna have insight about this, and some of it boils down to ignorance (about what works) vs. choice (ignoring what they know).

How much fiber is needed when someone has gut issues? (33:20) How much is too much cheese or dairy? (46:15) What are some good arm exercises? (48:45) Vinnie gives some suggestions and Vinnie demonstrates one (so watch the video, too).
