MEMORABLE QUOTES
"We don't need to do sauna therapy. We don't need to take any supplements. We don't need to do anything. What we need to do is minimize the exposure that we are getting." [28:50] -Lara Adler
"The FDA sunscreen is considered a drug because it has an effect and it's regulated as such. The FDA has not approved any of these European ingredients. For inclusion in the U. S. marketplace, and they say it's because they don't have enough research. It's like, yeah, but the EU takes a much harder look at these things." [35:10] -Lara Adler
