Memorable Quotes

“We need to understand why that egg quality is poor. And usually there is inflammation that is at stake here; the term is known as inflammaging. If you have inflammation in the body, which I promise you, all of us does, even if we’re carrying an extra two kilos or so, five to ten pounds, that’s inflammation. If we have brain fog, if we have skin issues, if we are tired and our energy is all over the place, our hormones are all over the place, that’s inflammation.”

“It’s not enough just to take the CoQ10 and to take the right form. We need to understand the supplement company, how it’s actually produced and how it’s protected.”
