I don't want to minimize or step back from my work with dietary interventions. There is no doubt in my mind it can dramatically change people's lives. But it's not just diet. It's lots of other things. And so it's putting it together and trying to make sense of the science for what does cardiovascular disease have to do with depression or PTSD.

On the surface, a lot of people scratch their heads and they really don't know. They assume that, well, one's a brain disorder and one's a heart disorder. And it's like, no. We need to integrate that because all of the risk factors, essentially the same biopsychosocial risk factors that increase risk for heart disease also increase risk for brain disease. And we need to start putting it together.

We need to be more sophisticated. We have computers. We have AI. It's 2025. We can do better. Yes.

And if you won't, then- I very much appreciate it. Well, it's true. Thank you very much.

I would say the concept of metabolism, metabolic regulation, mitochondrial function, mitochondrial health, actually is an umbrella concept for everything you've just said. It's an umbrella concept for, well, how do we create neurotransmitters? Where do these neurotransmitters come from? What regulates their production release from cells?

It's an umbrella concept for, well, how do we create neurotransmitters? Where do these neurotransmitters come from? What regulates their production release from cells?

And then even to go further, what impact do those neurotransmitters have on other cells? They are largely regulating brain metabolism. And the way we usually think about it is they are regulating brain activity. But if you ask the question, well, what is brain activity? Brain activity is either, it's fueled by metabolism, that a neuron cannot be active unless it has the capacity to

to increase its ATP kind of production. And then when you suppress a neuron, when you inhibit its function, the ATP production goes down. So whether you want to think of metabolism as just a consequence of neural activity, I actually think about it as an integral part of neural activity. It's kind of like your car can't go without the engine. A cell can't go without mitochondria.
