Key Takeaway:

“It's up to us to listen to our body or we just brush it off and keep going about. Well, guess what happens? It's going to get louder... until you're forced to pay attention to it.” - Jenifer Jenkins

“If you want longevity, you want a life of abundance, you will never find that in a quick-fix pill, ever. You have to understand that we have to look at it from a multifaceted approach. This is way bigger than just diet and exercise.” - Jenifer Jenkins
