Quotable moments:

"Your health should support your life and not the other way around." - Dr. Kerri Masutto

"You can't make a wrong decision because you'll always get immediate feedback on whether this is working or not." - Dr. Kerri Masutto

“So the first question that you really wanna ask is, not just what is the problem you have, because this is what most people jump into. They're immediately like, I have this problem. I have low energy or I think I have low testosterone or a low libido or I have too much weight. That's the problem. What I want you to look at is what is the impact that problem actually has on your life that's prompting you to go seek health?” - Dr. Kerri Masutto

“And so what is that impact that you're actually trying to solve for? And that's important because that's usually the real motivator. And if the wellness plan or the medical protocol doesn't actually improve that impact, you're not going to be happy with the results.” - Dr. Kerri Masutto
