Quotes
“If I can just provide a bunch of information, like ‘girl, here, this is how we break it down, this is what’s happening,’ then women go, ‘Okay I feel so much more empowered, now I understand it, now let’s do what I need to do.’” (9:49)
“If hormones aren’t your thing, if you don’t know anything about the endocrine system, you just know you feel hormonally off, then it’s really nice to see somebody who can personalize it to you and just guide you through it.” (14:30)
“Biochemically, your adrenals do not give out like your ovaries do in menopause. In menopause your ovaries don’t have any follicles left; therefore, you can’t make hormones. That’s not the way your adrenals work; your adrenals don’t hit 50 years old and go, ‘Poof, I’m done, if the ovaries are done I’m done too.’ It doesn’t work that way.” (27:36)
“You can only burn the candle at both ends for so long before you meet in the middle and are out of candle, and it’s the same thing in your body.” (29:26)
“Your body is going to do what it can to fix you and to balance you. But if you keep abusing the system, you’re gonna continually have a messed up system. So you have to address it: it is one of the first things you have to address.” (38:09)
