My daughter and I were getting lunch in Denver one day after Yoga last week. It was this cool little place that was built in an old automotive garage. Anyway, I found something I could eat and we both ordered. When I was done ordering, Brit looked at me and said you always look and sound so [...]
My inspiration came through for me again this week. She and her husband have been stellar clients, doing everything I have asked, following their eating plan to the letter, titrating their supplements and sticking to them like troopers.
