[18:55] Starting your day off with the right breakfast sets the metabolic tone for the day. The perfect and easiest way to do this is with JJ’s All-In-One Paleo-Inspired Shake. [19:43] Listener’s question: I can lose the weight but I’m even better at gaining it back. How do I solve the weight regain challenge that I seem to chronically be facing?
