The one thing that kills me with clients of mine is an acceptance of being sick, as though it's an unavoidable reality...
And for the record, I'm not talking about serious illnesses, or chronic health issues.
Some things we can't avoid.
I'm talking about colds, flu, headaches, and upset stomachs.
Things that a healthy lifestyle can drastically reduce the risk of.
Immunity is something that can be so easily improved.
Today I'm talking about how,
