Quotes

"I try to not care about on the surface what someone might do for a living or the letters after their name, and really get to know the story behind the person." (9:12)

"I'm going to challenge you, not in a way to make you feel judged or torn down, but to say 'hey maybe that's not really what you need right now'." (34:02)

"If you talk to him and ask him what is the most important component of his multifaceted approach which has shown amazing benefits... it's not food, it's not even movement and it's not even sleeping. It's love." (47:55)

"As much as I love the autoimmune protocol as dietary intervention, it's just a tool and part of a greater tool kit of personalized care and community and really loving and caring about other people." (48:26)

"Sometimes we want to jump immediately to the sexy stuff, the hormones and all this, when really if you just give lifestyle time in a controlled and supported setting, you are going to see some awesome stuff happen." (1:10:06)
