Quotes:
- “Every time I would get stuck or I’d want to eat something that wasn’t the best for me, I would just consider how I would want to feel tomorrow. Doing that prevented me from putting things in my body that was only good for a minute or two and then they weren’t going to be any good later on.”
- “Connect with as many people as you can and ask questions. The doctor cannot just put all your eggs in one basket.”
- “It was really finding out from other people who weren’t doctors that got me to ask the important questions.”
