This is life changing. Where did anyone get the idea that we HAVE to eat 3 times a day?? Our hunter gatherer ancestors would go days between food. They had to hunt it, process it, store it when they could. They were always in a state of fasting, naturally. That question was always on my mind. Reading this in the first pages of this book validated my thoughts on this. Today is Day 1 of my Day 30 fasting reset. I have already been prepping myself and seen major changes.

Amazing insights. Love the emphasis on how to incorporate essential oils into specific days of the menstrual cycle. It is a game changer for my wife. I love the empowered trio.
