This past week I got to share my story with Danny Perez on the Monkey Mind podcast! We talked about being a professional athlete, dancing in my 40s, and what functional medicine is all about.

If we are really going to talk about the nutrients available in raw foods, we cannot ignore that raw fish, raw grass-fed lamb or beef, raw liver and raw milk have more nutrients and enzymes than some vegetables.
