You know, even having their primary care physician So I'm wondering if you could just speak a little bit to that.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Barry, last thoughts. Just I think that our health chatter audience is going to really benefit from learning more about a health care resource that really, again, gets at the root of a lot of our health problems today. as we've talked about and really the focus on prevention and really leveraging the relationship.

Again, I think it's how do people get more knowledge and understand how to access naturopathic medicine, naturopathic physicians as an option for their healthcare and for their healthcare improvements. So Drew, as I say, it was great to meet you in person. and I just really appreciate your being on the program today. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you.

Yeah, I want to echo what Clarence said. It's very confusing because there's so much information and there's so many choices. And oftentimes when you have lots and lots of choices, uh, it becomes paralyzing for people. You don't, you know, it's like too many decisions that you have to make.

So what I, what I was trying to make sense of this is at two levels, one of them, um, you know, just to point out the one thing of, of the list with, you know, EPOs and HMOs and POS and PPOs and all of that stuff.

I think one thing is we need to at least develop a working understanding, a knowledge of what these things mean, just in general, because if you don't know what you don't know, you don't know what questions to ask. So I think there is an educational component as I was going through this and relating it to putting on my health chatter hat on the team here.

And I know before we, you know, Matthew hit the record button, we were talking that, yeah, we really need to, you know, to do this. So there's an educational component. But then the other part for me, and I just took the time to just jot down a few things that are major decision points for how you even get into this all. And so what I'm hoping is that our conversation, our health chattering,

But then the other part for me, and I just took the time to just jot down a few things that are major decision points for how you even get into this all. And so what I'm hoping is that our conversation, our health chattering,

you know, that we're going to do is just highlight some of these things. And then, you know, Stan, as you said, we're probably heading down the path of needing to do a few more shows on this to really help simplify this for our listening audience and actually for ourselves. I mean, the three of us, we're talking about how confusing it is for us.
