Quotes

“FMD is essentially like fasting, but easier because you can have some calories. It’s mimicking a fasted state for autophagy and apoptosis.”

“In FMD, you’re so willing to look at all the things that become integrated. There is no reason good enough for those who want truth and want to get beyond doubt.”

“The more we hold those boundaries, the easier it becomes for us to defy culture and say, ‘No, this is what is best for me.’”
