We are about health, healthy longevity (living longer, healthier). And as we age, it's harder to lean into this. Life changes - we get it. It can be harder, lonelier, more burdened...

Yes, we're aggressive/assertive/bold in our beliefs, but generally, you can't disprove what we believe. Your diet is the foundation of your health.

But why, when habits are bad for us (lack of physical activity, diet of highly processed foods and sugar) are we so resistant to change? Because we can be? Should we be allowed...
