The pharmacist is really going to be a prime educator.

And I'm glad that a lot of pharmacy folks are stepping up to, to do that because that is something very needed.

Again, we,

Whenever I get in a room with pharmacists, I could just like talk for hours and hours because this stuff is so fascinating.

And I learn a lot.

Like I say, the word of the day for me is pharmacogenomics.

Yes.

Actually, there are a few of them.

I'll kind of unpack them as I see it.

Number one is that when you are, the metaphor, when you're driving along at 120 miles an hour, you're going to miss the exits.

You're not going to be able to appreciate the scenery, things like that.

So it is a question of how do you slow things down or calm things?

The other piece that's very revealing, David, that you shared is how

the concerns that people in therapy are bringing to you, that it's now gone beyond just my personal life, but it's in ever-widening circles.

And to me,

Part of the problem is that we have the sense that we are losing control, that we don't have control of things.

And when that happens, we're under more stress.

And then the medical piece, which we know about, is all the stress hormones are like firing up like crazy.

And that makes you physically feel uncomfortable as well.

It's that fight or flight.
