(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.
