Tweetable Quotes
“Definitely mind games because it was more in the mind for me than physical than in the body, the gut or anything like that. It was really in the mind. It was a detox of discipline and attention.” - Dr. Johnson
“I knew that if my stubborn self who said, oh, I'll never give up cheese, I'll never do that because I was addicted to cheese, but if I could do it and still doing it, then somebody else could do it as well. If my busy lifestyle, I can do it, somebody else can do it as well. And I begin to fall in love with God's food. It felt like a different form of worship to me where I was just grateful for opening a pomegranate and just seeing the amazing wonders, that God did, and the colors, and the sweetness. And once you detox from sugar, you can taste real sugar that God made. It's amazing.” - Dr. Johnson
“I am a firm believer in education and doing things the right way.” - Dr. V
