The last 12 days of juicing have given me so much energy. It’s nuts. I’ve been waking up before my alarm and literally just waiting for it to go off in the mornings. My foot and ankle seem to be healing faster and I feel better overall. Or maybe I just [...]
3 years ago you showed up at my door, nervous as hell.
