“I got five oils which was confusing cause normally I’ll get like one or two and then it occurred to me that I can combine them and so I took each bottle and kinda muscle tested. Okay, 6 drops of this, 5 drops of this, and I put them together, and I put them in my lower back and my first thought was I can go running.” [23:43]

“We know that our body is communicating with us, but sometimes we just forget to listen to it. So, there is a way of asking your body often yes-no questions so you can get more clarity about what is kinda the primary issue.” [25:34]

“The greatest gift I gave myself was just because I don’t understand something doesn’t mean it is not true, and it always left me with curiosity.” [29:44]
