Quotes: 

“Sleep and stress, those are the foundations of health. If you're not getting proper sleep, if you're super stressed out it's going to put everything out of whack.” - Dr. Lena Robertson

“How you set yourself up for the day also has a big impact. So getting the natural light in your eyes first thing in the morning. First thing in the morning go outside, doesn’t have to be long, get the light in your eyes. If you live in a place like me (Bellingham, Washington) get one of those lights, sun lamps.” - Dr. Lena Robertson
