Memorable Quotes

“Anytime I’m talking with somebody about copper and especially zinc and stomach acid, that if you’re increasing zinc, I usually don’t see a great absorption until we know that stomach acid levels are getting to appropriate levels. But I personally am never giving someone stomach acid until I know whether or not H. Pylori is there.”

“I had a couple clients who we made really good progress. We know we’re killing pathogens. We’re making good progress. And then you kind of plateau. And my thing, I always do, is I just go back and say, what data do we already have? What do we know? And how can we associate your symptomology with the data that we have?”

“If you can shift it to a little bit of ‘This is interesting that I didn’t have this symptom yesterday and I do it today,’ first off, you don’t get all the panic hormones, AKA fight and flight, AKA cortisol, et cetera, adrenaline. But additionally, you become more friends with your body. You don’t feel like your body’s an enemy.”
