QUOTES

“ A lot of these self-imposed physiological stress protocols end up having really potent psychosocial components to them.”

“Bad stress is modern and chronic. It leads to imbalances and disease. Good stress is paleolithic. It's short. It comes and goes.”

“I’m quite certain that the source of my diabetes was equally psychological as it was physiological… I believe that living in a constantly stressed state was contributing to dysregulated blood sugar.”
