“The best thing I ever did for my food relationship was learning how to track macros and understand the ins and outs of nutrition. And the second best thing I did was stop doing that.”

“Everything is a choice. No one has a gun to your head saying that you have to do these things. You are the driver of your boat.”

- Ocean Trail

“Everybody’s looking for balance all the time, striving for balance. It’s not something you find like a penny on the sidewalk. It’s an active practice to cultivate that in your life.”
