They do great work. And so they were actually sending me some stuff, and I had known about some of this. But, like, Mediterranean diet has worked really well.

Yeah. Which I think, you know, let me come back to this point because I think it's super important, but leafy greens were a big one.

They pointed out a Rush Presbyterian study that I didn't know about that put people on, I think it was called the DASH diet and it included leafy greens as a big part of it and that had a dramatic increase in cognitive... I mean dramatically preserved cognitive performance in people who were on that diet. So the healthy diet is a big part. Now, nicotine is interesting.

So if you notice, a lot of people with schizophrenia smoke. And one of the things that's been found is that nicotine does seem to improve functioning in people, cognitive functioning in people with schizophrenia.

And so, I mean, just to give you an example – I could not function without that coffee that I had this morning and then coming in here. But my daughter would not be functional after those cups of coffee. Some people really are affected by these different things differently.
