You see a full picture of what's happening in your day versus a lab draw or a fingerprint is really just a snapshot, it's just a picture of that moment in time.” “..... fasting in general is a type of stress on the body and stress isn't necessarily a bad thing. It can be if it's out of control.”   “What people don't realize is that, sometimes when we say yes, exercise, they expect that I need to exercise for one hour during this huge CrossFit workout in order to get a benefit. And that's not true, any type of movement is helpful, even if you have a high carb meal or a bigger portion size.”   “Depending on what you hear when you hear the word carb, because if you hear carbon, you think like bread, pasta, rice, those types of things, maybe you need to tell yourself fiber, so that you go towards things with color.”   “.... even if you take a couple bites of your chicken before you eat, you know, your key or your rice or whatever it is that that makes a difference. So prioritize protein for sure.”
