Do you think that a lot of your colleagues in this space, you know, we're here recording in Santa Monica, you did your residency at UCLA.

If we went to them, your peers that went to medical school with you and said, hey, is a root cause of a lot of the chronic diseases that we're seeing out there, things that are exploding amongst people, especially in the last few decades.

Yeah.

Is a root cause of that the amount of crazy amount of time that we spend indoors?

What would they say?

You know, going back to your colleagues, you know, you said that they would say, show me the data.

Sure.

And often in medicine, if you study the history of medicine, the data, sometimes that's, you know, clinical experience.

Sometimes that's, you know, controlled studies, case studies, other things.

The data is often there, but it takes somebody to come in and connect the dots.

Because if you weren't taught about it, you may not know about it.

Yeah, you know, you're talking about what people care about.

And to really bring home this idea of the indoor epidemic,

you know, there's this idea that you share in the book pretty early on.

And it's this idea that what if the reason you're tired, anxious, and not sleeping well isn't your diet, although diet's important, it isn't your supplement, or it isn't your routine necessarily, but the fact that you're spending 93% of your life indoors.

Do people actually know when you talk to individuals or patients or former patients, do they actually know that, hey, the reason that I feel like

crap or have that afternoon slump especially might be because I'm spending way too much time indoors.

Is that connection being made?

It's super important because what you're talking about here is that, you know, the idea of the book is that we're spending 93% of our time indoors and we'll do a breakdown of where that time is.

Of course, it's the home, but it's other things too.
