I'm like thinking about like, wow, like I am. I have the ability in my body to build a human, 3D print a human, pull in a soul to that human. I don't need a peer-reviewed study or a textbook to tell me how to do that. Our body and our intuition and our minds and the subtle things happening inside us are important. They are incredible.

We have now been told that you can't trust it and you are dangerous if you do that. And I think that's one of the reasons why I think parents are very frustrated right now is because parenting, I'm not a parent yet, but Callie is.

And, you know, when we're being told now that parents are the enemy for using their own judgment about their families and kids, like, I think that's probably it's deeply frustrating to people. And that's basically what we're being asked to do. Yeah.

Yeah, no, I think the point about incrementalism versus radical is the question we need to be asking ourselves. Like, we're not, yeah. And so in terms of Alzheimer's, so I think something really interesting framing is that the brain, you know, it's only 2% of our body weight, but it uses 20% of our body's energy.

And there's been this theory with Alzheimer's of like, oh, it's the plaques in the brain. It's the tau and the tangles and the beta amyloid and all these things. And so we thought, OK, well, if we can get rid of those with a drug, like maybe that it'll improve. But no Alzheimer's drugs really work meaningfully.

And more recently, there's been this understanding of like, OK, metabolic dysfunction is definitely going up. We know metabolic syndrome and diabetes are going up and the brain uses 20 percent of the body's energy. And something that's happening in the body like diabetes is also happening in the brain. There's been this interest.

Chris Palmer talks about this in such an amazing way in his book, Brain Energy. But like we've somehow decided to separate the brain from the body as if they're different things when, in fact, they're all just made of cells. They're all just made of cells that do the same things. They need to do metabolism to keep the cell working.

So we've got this organ that uses 20% of our energy, and we've got 50% of Americans with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, which is fundamentally a metabolic issue. And of course, the brain's basically underpowered. It's not getting the energy it needs, and that's going to express itself as dementia. So it's been increasing exponentially.
