Yeah. Yeah, no. Actually, it's funny because I watched your TED Talk when I was in medical school, and I remember you talking about depression and how you have to look at micronutrient deficiencies, the gut health, neuroinflammation. And that whole concept just made so much sense to me. So you were definitely a part of the inspiration for me to pursue this. So thank you for that.

And in terms of, yeah, I read your books. I read, obviously, Jason Bland's functional medicine book, like his textbook.

Jeff Bland, yeah. And, you know, integrative medicine textbooks. Luckily, medical school was fairly easy. So I had lots of extra time and I could read. I had a lot of time to read other things. But the reason I got into it was partly because

I saw patients not always getting better and even my own mom had some medical illnesses and it was kind of frustrating when the doctors were just like, well, there's nothing else you can do. And, and then I started digging deeper and obviously I came across functional medicine and, and, all this kind of root cause work. And then I'm like, wait a minute, there is stuff you can do.

We're just not learning about it. So then it was kind of like, why aren't we learning about it? And then you realize it's just because doctors don't know what they don't know. And that's just how medical school is. You're being taught by specialists who might be the best cardiologists at their in-depth center. And they're amazing. They do amazing work. But they don't know much beyond what they do.

And that's just the limitations of their knowledge. And so oftentimes we're only being given one perspective, which is allopathic medicine. But it turns out there's a lot more than just allopathic medicine out there. And when you look at the totality of the research, you realize there's a lot of stuff out there that can be quite beneficial with less harm.

And that's really what drew me to this field was just because, hey, if I can do less harm for my patient and have the same benefit, why wouldn't I do that first? And that's kind of what got me into regenerative medicine because regenerative medicine is just a playoff of functional medicine, which is, you know, you're trying to restore tissue or restore dysfunction of the cell back to normal.

And now you can do that using cell therapy, gene therapy, or tissue engineering, or the combination of those three is kind of what we label as regenerative medicine.

Yeah, exactly. Our slogan is empowering the body's natural healing abilities. So that's what we live by. But to your point, it's not just limited to biological substances. You can even use something like bioelectricity or shockwave electrical signals that can manipulate the body at a cellular level to help it to heal.

So essentially, it's anything really signaling wise that can facilitate healing or regeneration in your own body. And that's why even peptides, in my opinion, fall into this category of regenerative medicine, because a lot of them are just sending signals. Especially, obviously, there are some peptides that are more regenerative in nature.
