“We really want to implement lots of self-care and lots of time for rest and relaxation. This is how your body recoups, regenerates, and detoxifies.”

“If we can’t manage the lifestyle stuff, it doesn’t matter how many supplements we pop and we take because it’s the lifestyle stuff that’s adding fuel to the fire.”
