Vinnie and Anna are huge fans of Mark
Sisson...ultra-athlete, author of “The Primal Blueprint” and host of his
newsletter, “Mark’s Daily Apple”. They discuss vegan and paleo
diets, gut health, eliminating certain foods for overall health and
being responsible for our own well-being. And apparently, Vinnie
was upset with Mark’s staff and there had to be some damage
control. Do they kiss and make up? Let’s sit back, grab some
tea and listen in...
Vinnie
and Mark Make Up
- Backstory: Vinnie went on Mark’s show to talk about his new vitamin “Pure Vitamin Club"
- Mark wasn’t there to interview him, so another staff member interviewed Vinnie and didn’t let him talk about his vitamins. Apparently, it is a policy on Mark’s show not to advertise other products similar to their own
- So Vinnie wasn’t very happy and “discussed” the incident with Anna on the show
- But Mark called and apologized, they made up, cleared the air and are moving on
Vegans
and Paleo Diet
- People are attached to their belief system whether it’s vegan or paleo
- Vegans and vegetarians can do paleo diet
- It has more to do with what you eliminate (ie: sugar, grains) than what your source of protein is
- Eliminating sugars, grains and industrial seed oils is good for anyone’s health
Overall
Health and Gut Health
- The goal for gut health is a balance of good and bad bacteria
- Everyone is different...for some people, some fiber may feed the good bacteria
- Have to decide what you want to achieve...experiment with how foods affect you and keep a detailed record
- There’s no quick fix..it’s a work in progress
Antibiotics and Health
- They are overprescribed and destroy not only the bad bacteria but the good as well
- Recovering from an illness has a lot to do with the strength of immune system
- Ask your doctor if you have a bacterial infection. Antibiotics will not cure a virus and may delay your recovery as the antibiotics destroy all your bacteria as well
- While on antibiotics, take massive amounts of probiotics
