Relationship issues and the Pina Colada song. (3:00) Couples can have issues when each person doesn't treat their health the same way. (10:00) Sometimes, family or partners can engage in sabotaging behaviors because they are uncomfortable with themselves. (14:00) The reality is, you can not preach to others. It will not work. You can only take care of yourself. (16:00) The fiber craze is back, but now it's called "fibermaxxing." (23:00) The new recommendation from some influencers is over 100 grams per day, which is not only excessive but also unnecessary. Colon health is important, but "maxxing" on fiber is unnecessary. Psyllium husk is a gimmick. (28:00) The current nutritional guidelines suggest 25g for women and 38g for me; as a result, they do some math. (29:00) Vinnie shares the story from Chris McDougall called "Born to Run." You can buy it from Vinnie's book club here. (40:00) https://amzn.to/48zvDtm Things that are good for your gut include real kombucha, kefir, plain whole-milk Greek yogurt, and fermented foods like kimchi and raw sauerkraut.
