Memorable Quotes
“I was one of those people that I wanted to find a pill, a powder, bio hack, a mechanism to bypass having to do the hard work. And all those things will help, but they’re not going to get you where you want to go. You have to protect the sleep. You have to do meditation. You have to do those things that help re-regulate your immune system.” – Betty Murray
“And I truly, truly believe that in order for us to feel empowered, we need to have all the data. And this test can be a way to look at if I am taking hormones, whatever hormones you’re taking, how is my body packaging those after use to get rid of one? And because there are pathways that are more favorable and there are pathways that are less favorable. And so, at the end of the day, you want to know that.” – Betty Murray
