(5:00) She advises that women stick to NSNG because, without it, menopause symptoms would be worse. They chat about "pain management" and how it's not ideal–and even dangerous–long term. (6:00) Vinnie talks about some of what he does to manage neck pain. He prefers to avoid the doctors who act like "the candy man." NSAIDs are a silent killer; they slowly mess up your liver and your stomach. (13:45) Anna has some thoughts about NSAIDS (specifically Advil), too, and her experience with it. (15:00) Her recent colonoscopy showed long-term damage. Vinnie mentions how he knows Advil isn't meant to be used frequently. (20:00) He shares his personal experience with CBD (no THC). (23:30) He takes a full-spectrum CBD that has minimal THC. Be careful, however, as according to some sources he's read, continuous use could show up in drug testing. For him, it works similarly to Advil, but without the side effects. Anna shares a question about gut health or "leaky gut". (39:30) There is a real connection between the gut and the brain. Vinnie was viewing the final cut of his next documentary. (42:00) This leads to a discussion about other docs and shows and how they can be edited down. Anna is fascinated with shows about cults. (48:15) Anna is the voice-over actor for the show, "Killer Couples". Vinnie goes over more details regarding his new VIP Beta-Group. (52:30) The plan is to build more tools for the community to use. The Pure Coffee Club website is up and running smoothly again. (59:00) They chat a bit about merchandise for each of their businesses.
