February 07, 2024 15:00 - 24 minutes - 16.7 MBWhat do you think of when you hear the word "exercise"? For some, it's a burst of joy, and for others, it sounds exhausting. I know. I've worked with many people over the years. Exercise sounds like something you "have to do" unless you were raised around sports OR have simply grown to love it.

And if you’re not sure, simply ask yourself: Can I remove every food item in my life and be OK? Would I be OK if I ate simple, whole natural (not man-made) foods? If I had to remove everything else, how would I feel? Is there anything that would be hard to give up?
