BEST MOMENTS
"I started doing ketogenic diets over 30 years ago. I thought that was the answer for everyone. I put all my clients on it."
"The reality was about 80% of those strategies were similar. The other 20% was the nuances that we found within the individual."
"I think if your sleep is hyper optimised, if you're consuming enough protein feedings a day, and it's worth highlighting that that is the biggest downside of intermittent fasting."
"The reality is, and no matter how good your diet is, you're going to need supplements to fill the holes or your genetic weaknesses."
