Key Quotes from This Episode:
"You can meditate all day. You can pray all day. If you're not eating food, if you're not eating food regularly, if you're not eating to your total daily energy expenditure, if you're not eating macronutrient balanced meals, you will have symptoms."
"Just because your symptoms are so severe, it doesn't mean you need a severe intervention to match that. The cumulative effect of many small changes and many small supports can make a huge difference."
"Correcting, monitoring, and managing your relationship with light will change your life. Mic drop, end of story."
"You don't need a lobotomy. You probably don't need a surgery. You don't even potentially need invasive medications."
