The answer is let's understand the biology of what is happening to the human brain and the human body and let's address it. And at the end of the day, it's not rocket science solutions. It's diet, nutrition,

I think that, yeah, so we have, we do have good research studies on this. The real answer is it's complicated. So first and foremost, I wanna say, women have a right to contraception, to effective contraception. We don't want lots of unwanted pregnancies. Let's start there.

There is. And so there are some women, probably a lower percentage than half, who will benefit from birth control pills. How many percentage? 50%. It's hard to say. I want to say anecdotal.
