💡 Key Takeaways:
✨ Your health is your greatest asset. Don't wait for a crisis to make your well-being a priority. Investing in your health now is a long-term investment in your family and your future.
✨ Healing is a journey, not a destination. It involves lifestyle changes that stack over time. Be patient with yourself and celebrate the small steps forward.
✨ Detoxification is a powerful tool. In a world full of environmental toxins, actively supporting your body's natural detox pathways through tools like saunas, lymphatic support, and ozone therapy can be game-changing.
✨ It's okay to take a break. Whether it's a social media break or a podcast break, stepping back to rest, recharge, and focus on family is essential for long-term sustainability.
