Quotes:

 

“If you have adrenal issues, you don’t have an immune system that works. Your hormones are terrible, and your thyroid doesn’t work as well. You can’t think.”

 

“It’s not being selfish to do self-care. It’s really about honoring yourself.”

 

“Men’s testosterone levels have gone down 50% in the last 20-30 years. That’s huge. It’s going to affect their sex drive.”

 

“We have been sexual beings from the beginning time, but our culture is very much puritanical about talking about it.”
