And that's why we feel sad and cranky and stuff. Right. So there's a lot of stuff there that's evolutionary. But those are just two of the mechanisms through which like food is incredibly important for mental health.

Absolutely, right? And I think you touched on another really good thing, which is ultra processed foods are highly dopaminergic, which means that they elevate that dopamine, serotonin imbalance gets enhanced. So when you eat a bunch of ultra processed foods, you don't feel peaceful, content and accomplished.

You've given into that dopamine and you feel like some degree of regret and guilt afterward, right? So it also is working on that level.

Yeah, so I have two thoughts. The first is a really short one. So a recent study came out about ADHD information on TikTok and found that 95% of ADHD information on TikTok is wrong. So the first like kind of PSA is be super careful about mental health information on the Internet, because at least on one platform and one diagnosis, the majority of it is like just wrong. So be careful about that.

The second thing is in terms of I think what people are missing is that we're trying. We're not focused on changing ourselves. We're focused on altering our environment to make things easy for us. So it's kind of like we have a society where if you look at everything, we're like, okay, what are the tips? How do we detox off of dopamine? How do we brain hack or biohack or all this kind of stuff?

And I know you guys cover this stuff, and I think it's good. It's good to inform people. But there's a subtle thing that's going on, which is that we're trying to make things easy for ourselves. So if I take these nutraceuticals or I take magnesium before I go to bed at night, it helps me sleep. That can be good.

But I think what's really, really subtle here is that we're relying on our environment to make our life easy instead of learning how to live a hard life, instead of adapting and becoming like stronger. It's almost like, you know, at some point we started having escalators and elevators instead of stairs.

And now what I'm seeing in the wellness space, which I think people need to be super careful about, is are you basically like creating an elevator? for wellness, where you're outsourcing all of the work to a particular protocol or a particular regimen or a particular thing. And I'm going to do it this way, this way, this way. And I'm all for that stuff. I think that that stuff is healthy.
