Memorable Quotes
“The body reproduces from the parasympathetic nervous system, which is this rest and digest and relaxation.”
“Healing is two things. You need good blood flow and you need nutrients in that blood.”
“I’m not here to instill fake hope, but I’m always going to have hope for my patients. And to be honest, sometimes I have more belief and more hope for my patients than they do themselves, because they’re trying to protect themselves. They don’t want to be devastated. They don’t want to be hurt.”
