Key Takeaways: How did Marcelle get into this career field? Companies see 80-hour workweeks as "full-time" now. If you have adrenal issues, you don't have an immune system that works. The good news is, you can do something about it! But it first goes with getting into the root cause. It's important to experiment with your body and what feels right to you. Love yourself and be gentle on this journey. What's the difference between adrenal fatigue or something like the Epstein-Barr virus? What is cortisol? We don't really realize how much we overextend ourselves. Remember, if you can't take care of yourself, you can't take care of anybody around you. There is no one-size-fits-all diet out there.

NO! At 70 years old, what is Marcelle's secret?   Episode Summary: It is a myth that we lose our sex drive as we get older. Why live in sexual pain and work burnout when you can revitalize yourself and live a version that is authentic, healthy, and full of life!
