Quotes

• "If you're not fueling muscle, you can't build it. We need protein to fuel muscle. And as we age, we utilize protein less efficiently, making it crucial to prioritize quality protein and the right amount." Dr. Polly Watson
• “When we don't sleep well, we have worse insulin sensitivity, higher blood sugars, more inflammation, and hormonal imbalances that impact overall health." Kate Willis NP-C
• "Stress management is like brushing your teeth—a skill to develop daily. When life throws a curveball, you'll be more resilient and able to respond better." Dr. Polly Watson
