It's always been assumed that
capitalism creates trauma and that money is the root of all evil
but what if we view it like technology? It's not good or bad
objectively; it's just a tool. So, then the only root question is,
'What is your energy, what's your intention with which you use
these tools?' That's the inner work of looking at yourself and
your relationship with money." - Tim
Chang

Are you getting the
quality nutrition your body needs?
It's what provides us with energy every day. And when we don’t
give our body the nutrition it needs, we feel it. It’s in the way
we lack motivation. It’s in the way we get stuck in ruts, dragging
ourselves to work, to lunch, back to work, and back home...
You don’t need to hire a nutritionist, though. You don’t need to
live at the gym, either. In fact, all you really need is about 3
minutes a day… and Organifi will do the rest.
