So that is one of the biggest myths in all of this, in the nutrition, wellness, and medical system that really drives me nuts is that people just think, oh, this is just what happens. You start aging, and then you don't feel that well, and your energy plummets, and then you maybe have to go on a couple of medications, and maybe you get diabetes. Oh, that's just aging.
