They did not do successful things that made them happy, they learned how to be happy because happiness is a lubricant for doing the things that matter to you” (13:44) “That extra exhaust that comes out of the system, it shows up as muffin top. It shows up as sore joints, etc. If you can make those mitochondria work better, magic things happen” (23:36) “We don’t all agree on food, but we all agree that if you don't eat what's right for you, then you are probably doing it wrong” (29:36) “Gratitude is the doorway to forgiveness. And forgiveness is not about telling someone you forgive them, forgiveness is when you stop carrying someone else's baggage” (38:34)   Resources Mentioned: Game Changers by Dave Asprey The Complete Bulletproof Diet Roadmap Bullet Proof website Head Strong by Dave Asprey Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey Pre Order the Essential Oils Hormone Solution book and get $300 in Bonuses   Other Resources: Check out the full show notes page Keep up with everything Dr. Mariza Follow Dr. Mariza on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube
