• Roger's bladder cancer diagnosis and how he disappeared his tumors naturally. Now he's cancer free for 3+ years.

• How we just flat out do not and cannot consume the right nutrients for optimal performance without herbs and adaptogens.

• What is an adaptogen?

• How adaptogens are often mislabeled.

• How the HPA axis - hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal - effects your stress and everything in your body is regulated by the HPA.
