(03:11) Victor’s background and how he ended up becoming Dr. Tony’s patient
(13:20) How Victor got started on his health journey
(20:29) How Victor’s family has reacted to his health transformation
(23:27) How Victor overcame the obstacles in his way to achieve his goals with the help of his family
(27:44) Why so many in the Latin American and Native American communities are disproportionately effected by disease
(35:20) The dietary/nutritional history of Native Americans
(42:23) Wether there is any truth to the idea that Native Americans have resources that other communities do not have access too
(46:30) Cultural appropriation and culturally insensitive portrayals of Native Americans
