“What’s at the end of your fork could heal you or kill you.” (3:13)

“What affects you before the age of 18 can set you up for a lifetime of chronic disease.” (3:43)

“If you think the food industry has your health in mind, you are sadly mistaken.” (21:25)

“If you don’t cook, I can’t help you get well because cooking is self-care.” (22:03)

“Automate, eliminate, and delegate everything you can in your life so that your vessel is filled up and you’re not pouring from an empty vessel.” (27:48)
