Loved today’s Friday call in show. Back to great info I can implement today without the reminiscing. Need more of that, regurgitation of how and what we need to do vs the story time. I feel lots of us need reminding of how to stay on track and what that looks like regarding foods, blood numbers and heart rates. Thank you for being a great teacher for this community! ❤️

This is a great podcast if you’re looking for reasonable tips on how to get and stay healthy. Vinnie is kind and extremely knowledgeable. His podcasts are full of great information and he really takes the time to get to know the people he talks to. Highly recommend.

Thank you, Vinnie, for your tireless work getting the news out on NSNG. You are an inspiration to me. I struggle with eliminating the sugar from my diet, but listening to your podcast always encourages me and helps me stay on track.

Been listening for three years and started following nsng 22months ago. I lost 30 pounds, dropped my statin and no longer use my cpap machine

The core content is good — but … Vinnie goes off on lengthy, irrelevant tangents. These become tiresome He could slice the time in half and have a fairly solid podcast. When you see a 2-hour cast, Vinnie is in a loquacious mood. Fast forward to what is worth hearing
