So I literally thought I found the Holy grail and that everybody needs to be eating this way, right?

You're young, you're on a soap box.

You're trying to tell everybody how to live their life.

And that was me.

And I did that.

So then I was vegan for a few years.

And then naturally, as I got into the world of learning about precision medicine, functional medicine, I started running lab tests on myself.

And I started seeing for me in particular, who was feeling like

I don't feel like my brain is as sharp as it once was.

It was actually looking at my omega fatty acid profile and seeing that I was so deficient in omega-3s and looking at all the research around, especially depression, brain health, mood.

And I started to eat fish and I felt like my brain turned on.

Right.

Or we don't feel 100%, but we actually just think everybody's going through this.

Right.

So where I was going with this story to tee up my next question is that then after eating fish and feeling good, I started incorporating other animal foods and I started to feel like,

I feel a lot better.

And then over the course of period of time, I got more serious about resistance training and doubling down on like my exercise in a way that I was always active, but I was completely under-muscled.

And I learned that from, you know, all of Dr. Gabrielle Lyon's work and her podcast that we had on here was super pivotal for me and pivotal for a lot of our audience.

And then as I continue down the path of heart disease, a lot of people don't know this, but the highest at-risk population that's a minority in the United States is South Asians and Indians, right?

They have the highest cardiovascular risk, cardiac events for any sort of minority group that's there.
