“When I work with clients, I want to look at their lipid peroxide levels.

“Lipid peroxides tell us how your body is handling oxidative stress. This is really important because we’re all exposed to free radicals on a constant basis.

“We are exposed to toxins one hundred times more than we were a hundred years ago. There are thousands of toxins now in existence that weren’t in existence a hundred years ago.

“So it’s very important to look at and monitor what you’re exposed to, what’s in your body, and how to remove it from your body.”

”The amount of antioxidants in your body is directly proportional to how long you will live."
