Yeah, well, I would say I would back up and say our gut microbiome has a tremendous amount to do with the health of our gut microbiome, whether or not we can or cannot lose weight. And I know this because I just wrote a book on it. So I feel like this is a uniquely perfect time to have this conversation. So number one.

opportunistic infections whether it be a parasite h pylori candida dysbiotic organisms all of those things are opportunistic and so when someone says to me i think it's the parasite that is making me weight loss resistant and i'm like there's so many other things that happen first i think that it is a sign that there is a significant gut microbiome shift And it is not per se the parasite.

And I'll give you an example. So when young boys and girls are born and they're growing up up until puberty, our microbiomes are very similar.

It's only the advent of puberty that we start seeing differentiation in the microbiome. Obviously, men predominantly with testosterone, women predominantly with estrogen, but also progesterone and a little bit of testosterone. And up until we go through puberty, if someone chooses to get pregnant, they go through pregnancy. There's a shift in the microbiome. And then we get to perimenopause.
