Vinnie encourages people to go out and live life by trying new things. (4:00) There's a recent drug, similar to a statin, called Repatha. But is it better? (13:00) Statins were originally developed for specific heart-related issues; however, they have now gained traction as almost "normal," even though they weren't intended to be. Please do your own research and advocate for yourself, because no one is coming to save you. Society has normalized taking meds instead of normalizing better health. Pure Vitamin Club has revamped its website and added more offerings! (24:00) Anna has an update on her grocery store plans: Eat Happy Kitchen is pulling out of Kroger's Western divisions. (33:00) Kroger has decided to reduce the number of sauces it carries and is going for non-premium items. Be sure to go to Kroger-affiliated stores and buy up what you can! Anna's products are moving forward and earning certifications to ensure customers know Eat Happy Kitchen can be trusted to be the best! She is still trying to get into other grocery store chains, however. (35:00) A recent medical journal article was sent to Vinnie. The article's headline suggests people are poisoning themselves with semaglutides. Is that accurate? (42:00) The article suggests that several weight loss drugs were released before side effects were clearly understood. Movies, rom-coms, and Christmas movies vs. not Christmas movies?
