Flip the Script

  • Vinnie just got back from Barbados, his first real vacation in a while. (3:00)

    • He didn’t, however, engage with a pina colada as planned.

    • Ty’s question: Summarize for newcomers to NSNG, the easiest first step one can take when starting.
    • Anna: Start with your favorite proteins and build around that. Grilling and stovetop first—quicker and easier to get into. (25:00)
    • Vinnie reminds you to be mindful, but avoid being carb-phobic. Cruciferous veggies are your friend. (29:00)

    • Trish has been NSNG off and on for years. She is struggling to get back into it mentally.
