Notable Quotes
- [12:40] "I've been in practice 26 years and I keep my overhead low. I make sure my new patients have enough time from the start to the finish with me. I don't have a nurse that goes in there and does all the little things. I do everything from start to finish." - Dr. Glen Robison
- [18:35] "You can't put a price on your health." - Dr. Glen Robison
- [22:24] "When I see diabetic patients, they think it's mostly all food, what they eat. That's a fraction of it. What they don't understand is that type two diabetes has a huge component of emotion and so I find within my own practice that those that have been later diagnosed with type two diabetics that had some form of injury to their mental emotional side." - Dr. Glen Robison
- [23:16] "The kidney is worry and fear, the lung is grief and sorrow. So if you can get somebody that's diabetic to stop the worrying, to start loving themselves, to think of, 'okay, I am important. I can do this,' and really take their energy up. Well, lo and behold, their sugar levels start to maintain." - Dr. Glen Robison
- [29:14] "I always sign my books, I-N-J-O-Y. 'cause joy's not found on the outside. We only express it on the outside, but it's always in the inside and it's always there, but we take our whole life trying to find it." - Dr. Glen Robison
