- She was also trying to get her parents to be healthier; however, they have a hard time adjusting to improved and updated information.
- Vinnie has had a similar issue with his parents, particularly his mother. Due to a medical problem, he was caring for his Mom, and that’s when he helped his parents implement changes. (12:00)

referring to people who use it without an MD or PhD in medicine.
(30:00)
- There is a challenge working with most Registered Dieticians as well. (40:00)
- Dr. Amy speaks about her challenges in convincing her parents
to continue the healthy plan she set up for them. (43:00)
- Many people often say they will “do anything” to get fit and healthy, except for doing the actual things that get you fit and healthy.
