Of the three topics I’m writing about this week, this one might seem less significant than the others; it doesn’t have the same flow or gravity to it as the other statements. But, I would argue that it’s every bit as important and powerful as the others. It’s just something we haven’t heard much inContinue reading “Eat Your Own Personalized Diet”
