Key Quotes

“I imagine dancers probably feel the same thing, you know, they put in the time, and then all of a sudden, your body just knows the movements, and then your brain can shut off...when you just let your brain stop judging the activity that you're doing, and you just do it and you let go, you do enter into a flow state. And I believe you can achieve that no matter what it is you're doing in life.” - Nicolette Richer

“Part of the therapy that I teach to reverse chronic diseases, we need those carbs for mental endurance as well as physical endurance.” - Nicolette Richer

“Also what happens which is really nice is when your body adapts. So it actually needs less calories as you continue in your endurance event. So your body just becomes very efficient at utilizing existing fat that it can burn and using the calories from the food.” - Nicolette Richer
