Are Statins Really Normal?
- 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? (48:00)
