Memorable Quotes:
 
"Fasting is actually one of the most powerful ways that we can heal our bodies, and our body knows that, but our brain doesn't know that. We're trained to think that we should eat all the time and eating is what heals us. Eating is what nourishes us. But honestly, I don't think a lot of women realize it actually requires energy to eat and digest and break down food." – Dr. Tabatha Barber
 
"Once you hit menopause, it goes downhill a lot quicker. You know, like you said, the aging process, especially if you're not on hormone replacement therapy, the disease processes start to set in. But fasting is something that really you can utilize to slow those processes down and even reverse diabetes, reverse autoimmune conditions, because you're healing your gut, you're healing your entire body."  – Dr. Tabatha Barber

Memorable Quotes:
"Success, in my eyes, looks like a few very simple things done every day for a long period of time. And so it's going to look like—giving your body the calories it actually needs, when you go to the gym, being there with intent and focus, not just dilly-dallying and lifting the five-pound dumbbells, but challenging yourself for that one hour a day, three days a week, prioritizing your sleep just like you told your kids to, and then doing that over and over again." – Joe Hoye
"People should train bulk because different rep ranges are going to serve different purposes. Two things we do know is that as women enter midlife, their bone density is decreasing and their muscle mass is going away. And so lifting heavy with low reps is certainly going to tell your bones to stay strong. That's going to help you stay functional and safe as you age." – Joe Hoye
