What are the foundational things that you want people to know that

whether they're on these drugs, whether they're just wanting to approach things naturally, if they're struggling with food noise, if they're struggling with hunger, if they're struggling with excess weight that they feel that they want to drop off, what are some of these core tenants that they want to be thinking about incorporating into their life that you cover inside the book?

You know, when I think about my audience and the journey that they've been on,

And we're all on a journey and learning different things, learning from different educators like yourself.

I think that many of them, including myself, these are people that have a natural wellness bias, right?

These are people that naturally have a bias towards wanting to do things naturally, wellness.

They generally have a skepticism of over-medication, but they're still open-minded and understand that medications have a role.

You know, that's the psychographic of the individuals that are largely listening to this podcast.

When I look at the journey that a lot of them went through, and I went through this journey as well too, and I talked about it on my podcast as well, I used to believe that you couldn't overeat healthy food.

I used to think that no amount of olive oil was too much.

No amount of a healthy dressing, even with fantastic ingredients inside of there.

And I used to believe that

because I felt like I had heard people talk about this, is that as long as you just focused on staying away from ultra processed food or minimizing them very greatly, then there wasn't too much value to auditing your calories.

And then a few years ago, through my own journey of wanting to become more fit, less skinny fat, growing up as a under-muscled vegetarian kid, I started to look at a lot of things that I was eating and I was like, oh wow,

You can.

I don't eat any ultra-processed foods at all.

Why do I have a little bit of belly fat that's there?

Oh, you can overeat unhealthy food.

Yeah.

And it's not that the entire world can be described through calories in and out, but that doesn't mean that I shouldn't ignore calories at all if I have certain goals or things that I'm trying to pay attention to.
