Memorable Quotes:
"First thing in the morning. We need to experience that ebb and flow for cortisol to actually function properly. And it's this healthy rising tide of cortisol first thing in the morning that is going to allow us to feel alert, energized, focused, and ready to tackle the day. It's like nature's most efficient cup of coffee." [00:08:53] – Roudy Nassif
"When you are wearing sunglasses, it's actually the greatest endocrine disruptor ever. And the eyes are an extension of the brain, and you're just disconnecting yourself from the primary source that connects the outside with the inside." [00:19:42] – Roudy Nassif
