That's number one, like any clinician should be. And I'm sure they, the good ones do really good history because it helps tease out what direction you're going to go in. And then using testing to kind of rule out or rule out, rule in or rule out other things that you're concerned about. I think that is helpful, but you know, there's no one test that is perfect. I mean, it just doesn't exist.

Do I sometimes run tests on people that I'm convinced they have SIBO or they have significant candida or some other issue or even something more significant than that? And that's when I refer them to a specialist. But I think in many, many instances, if I'm having great concerns about, you know, do they have colorectal cancer? Could there be something quite significant going on?

But I think a lot of it is the interpretation based on the clinician's experience, taking a good history, and then also working with companies where you feel like there's a degree of reliability. There's one company that will remain nameless that since the pandemic, almost every one of my patients was showing up as having H. pylori. And I called the company. I said, how is this even possible?

Because this wasn't happening pre-pandemic. And that required me to do a little bit of course correction. It was like, okay, I'm going to start working with other companies because I'm concerned that this may be an aberrancy. This may be something that It just doesn't make sense that every single person's test would be positive for H. pylori.

When you look at a broad section of the population, it was like that just doesn't make sense. So I think it's it's a bit of provider preference, provider comfort, getting that good history and then deciding what does that patient specifically need? Like there's no one size fits all in my world.

Yeah. I mean, I think the biggest thing is understanding that we start in in one place. kind of realm, and we understand the influence of sex hormones are significant and profound. So it's not just immune function and why women in middle age suddenly start becoming more susceptible to parasites and other type of opportunistic infections, but it's bone health.

The gut microbiome and bone health are intricately related. Our mood is intricately related to the type of neurotransmitters we're able to create in the gut microbiome. There is literally next to nothing that is not impacted positively or negatively by the microbiome, including when we go into menopause.
