Chapters

A lot of what I do now is because of my own personal health and, like, where I was and how the trajectory that I was on compared to my current state of health and then how I affected change in my family's health, in particular my daughters. And I'll talk about that a little bit as well. But when I met you, initially, I was sick. I was 40 years old. So this was, what, nine years ago? And I was sick and a new parent and a couple years newly married. And I didn't have all the classic genetic predispositions. I didn't have the parents with heart disease and diabetes. And I wasn't raised in a house where people were smoking cigarettes.
