Memorable Quotes

“Our ovaries are developed when our grandmothers are pregnant with our mothers. And because basically 100% of our mitochondria is passed on from our mother, what we need to understand is the history and the health and the well-being, not just of our mother, but of our grandmother, especially during pregnancy.”

“Taking progesterone is not going to fix that. And so we have to start looking at a bigger picture. So then we can, number one, truly heal ourselves, but number two, stop passing generational disease onto the next generation.”

“When I see, for example, a lot of my unexplained infertility cases, they have insane levels of environmental toxins, and usually they’re anxious, they have digestive issues, whether it’s constipation or loose stools or nausea.”
