You know, and Marty Makary talks about this, like, I certainly didn't learn that medical error and medication is the third leading cause of death in the United States. I learned that patient comes in and I need to label their diagnosis and give them a pill. So When I speak of the tribalism, it's like I have so much compassion for doctors who feel stuck right now. They're stuck in a broken system.
The tribe that they're a part of has taught them a certain set of things. There are huge trillions of dollars of interest to make the things that they learn a specific myopic lens. And... Putting together dots is risky because if you step outside the guidelines, you're at risk for intense litigation and potentially ridicule.

I mean, I'm called pseudoscientific alt-right, you know, woo-woo caucus all the time. And so it's scary. And I think that fundamentally this is, again, why it comes down to like this is actually more of a consciousness and spiritual issue because it's like we need to pray for courage. We need to sit down every morning and decide what we want for the future. What do we want? We're all players.

We're all important. We all need to use our voices. Being complicit, like what future do we want and what are we willing to do for it? And get our priorities straight. Is our priority like our house and our mortgage and our boat and our comfortable life that's killing us? Or is it to elevate, to be stewards of the future and of the planet and to make some harder choices

And I think one thing I would just say, if there are doctors listening, I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but like this tribe on the other side, you know, that I think we're all in of like promoting health, like it's beautiful and people are really healthy and happy. And it's not that hard and it's not that expensive.

And everyone is welcome here in this tribe of trying to move humanity towards more health. harmonious future. And everyone is welcome. It's bipartisan. It's really about, like Brigham was saying, this is about team humanity. And team humanity always by extension will be team planet because they're interconnected. And so I think we need to break out of that sort of more

our past, you know, human selves of tribalism and really realize like, we need to be brave, we need to be courageous, we need to fight for life. And, and it's pretty, pretty bright and wonderful when we start doing that.

I would just add a few more dates. I think one thing about the research, we're one of the only countries in the world where the burden of proof for harm, we allow these chemicals to just enter our food system. We have 10,000 chemicals in our food system. Europe, only 400 because they have to show that it's safe before they use it.
