PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club Thrive Market Villa Cappelli Crowd Cow DOCTORS AREN'T ALWAYS RIGHT It's healthy to question authority Not all doctors finish at the top of your class If something your doctor says sounds weird or wrong, call them on it If they can't explain the reasoning behind something to you, that should be a red flag Don's daughter was told to take a ton of Advil This, however, could cause stomach issues Don will be speaking to the doctor as a result VINNIE'S SHOULDER Vinnie had issues before he played college football Just aggravated those issues with that and a lot of his lifting afterwards By Vinnie's 33rd birthday, he was on his second surgery He could not raise his right arm at all Had to shake hands with his left Hardly could ride a bike at all His arm basically atrophied in his forties No muscle, could basically see the bone Had a ream and run surgery Different from any other shoulder replacement For the worst of the worst shoulder injuries Vinnie is still recovering from this surgery It takes years to build a bit of cartilage back He had also forgotten how to use his shoulder muscles in that arm Part of why he hasn't done this kayak trip is because he rushed the recovery to try and do the trip too soon and hurt his shoulder He is training slowly for it He WILL get this done Now, Vinnie has kayak friends! CHANGE THE MEDICAL WORLD Vinnie and Anna love hearing about podcast listeners in nursing and medical school However, the limited nutrition lessons that teachers give are often focused around the SAD diet A nurse-in-training's teacher told her fat calls diabetes Don't believe everything your teachers tell you Gary Fettke was persecuted for trying to save his patients' limbs He recently had his name cleared, but it was a long battle When you become a nurse or a doctor, spread the truth It is YOU who can change the world There are doctors and nurses doing the right thing out them Join them in this quest to keep people healthy, not just keep people from dying HEALTH-FOOD LIES It's hard to imagine foods we have been told are healthy are unhealthy Ex: veggie juices seem healthy, but they're just straight sugar Green tea frap is plain sugar The 'good' from green tea does NOT outweigh the bad Has 50g of carbs in 12oz In no world is this good for you! Naked Juices are misleading - NOT good for you
