SHR # 2506 :: BluePrint Power Hour w/ Coach Rob Regish

Jack Patterson
In terms of boosting immune function, what products would you put at the top of the list? If you had to buy one, what would it be? Is vitamin C better than Vitamin D? There are so many, and I’m not sure what forms to buy either. Is transdermal better than oral, and should I get a B12 shot from my Dr? Any tips?

Barry Darsow
I’m on the heavier side and always trying to lose weight. It’s tough, as I’m almost a pure endomorph. What are the most important things I need to know? I’ve got 90 days or so to the big family reunion, and I’d like to lose as much weight as possible.

Kevin O’Malley
How do I increase my bench press? I’m stuck at 300lbs and want to hit 315, I think it’s a mental block. How do I get past my sticking point (off the chest)?

Matt Rinaldi
Do you have any insight into anti-oxidant formulas? I’m looking for a good all in one, but haven’t found one I’m happy with yet. Also, what’s your take on using them? Do they really work, or am I better off just eating a balanced diet like my Dr says?

Patrick O’Connor
I heard Eric Fiorello died. Weren’t you on his show years ago, and why did you stop doing it? Do you know what he died from?
