But to go back to if the perspective was you might need more thiamine, so you should try adding some nutritional yeast to...

to the dishes that you want to impart a cheesy flavor to, which is what nutritional yeast tastes like, because nutritional yeast is really high in thiamine, then that probably wouldn't have happened because the dose would have been a lot lower.

She would have gradually gone into it much more gradually, but also whatever those blockages were would have the other nutrients assisting them so the thiamine wouldn't be so out of balance.

So it's not just that you absorb it better or whatever.

It's also just the food, going food first really helps,

correct for errors that are a problem with your expertise.

Warren Buffett once said that a diversified portfolio is great protection against ignorance.

He said, it doesn't really make sense if you know what you're doing, but if you don't know what you're doing, you really should diversify.

And so that's what food does.

Food is a diversified portfolio.

And if you don't have the expertise to run around taking different

If you don't understand the biochemical pathway of the thing you're megadosing, you are not a candidate.

That's like buying an ETF and you don't even know what an ETF is.

Give that to your financial advisor.

And so, yeah, I think that...

Food first, pharma last.

Is the food first part of that is really just a protection against... But I do have the expertise and I still do food first because I know that...

My expertise in my own body is incomplete.

And so I might know a thousand times more than the average person about what thiamine does in the body, but thiamine's doing things in my body and I don't know what they are.

So I'm not gonna assume I know everything just because I have top-notch expertise in the field.
