represent ultimately mitochondrial dysfunction, all of the different cellular pathways that can result in mitochondrial dysfunction and or can reflect mitochondrial dysfunction.

And they believe that their test might be able to predict the development of autism, that every child at age one should get this blood biomarker, and it will tell us who's at high risk of developing a neurodevelopmental disorder. The test itself doesn't tell us what's wrong. It just tells us something's wrong.

And then the clinicians need to go to work and try to figure out what is going on, what is causing this metabolic mitochondrial dysregulation so that we could potentially intervene. I've talked with one of the leading mitochondrial researchers really in the world. He's got a set of 20 biomarkers.

that he believes represent mitochondrial dysfunction broadly and then there's another research group um that is is actually narrowed it down to just five different biomarkers in men and five slightly different there's some overlap but slight differences in women

And those five biomarkers alone were able to distinguish people with chronic severe suicidal depression from healthy controls with over 90% sensitivity and specificity. Wow. So I think that is one of the directions we need to go is we need to establish tests with all of these groups.

I want to just state clearly and plainly because one of the common questions I get is what's the blood test I can get for my mitochondrial health? There isn't one. That's the answer. There is not one. There are... lots of different biomarkers that can suggest dysregulation of metabolism and mitochondrial function. And again, these three research groups are all working on it.

In order to get those five biomarkers for men and women, I think they measured 400 different biomarkers. So we need to make sure that that gets replicated, that prospectively it can identify people. I'm less concerned about kind of the incentivizing and let's give insurance discounts and other things. I actually think the majority of human beings that I know authentically want to be healthy.

And they authentically, they really want to have healthy children. They will do anything to have healthy children. So I don't think we necessarily need to come up with some incentives right now. I think if we develop evidence-based tools that prospective parents can use to assess their own metabolic mitochondrial health and maybe more importantly, assess their prospective children's health,
