Yes. And so, you know, a lot of people are hyper-focused on vaccines cause autism and they come back to rates of autism are skyrocketing. There has to be a reason. Well, I agree. Rates of autism are skyrocketing. I agree. There does have to be a reason. Maybe we're missing the elephant in the room. Rates of metabolic poor health are skyrocketing in our population.

Rates of obesity and diabetes are skyrocketing, but rates of poor metabolic health. So metabolic syndrome has five biomarkers, you know, abdominal obesity, blood pressure, um, glucose, high levels of glucose, and then high triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol. Those are the five biomarkers of metabolic syndrome. Only 7% of Americans are healthy in all five biomarkers. Only 7%.

Poor metabolic health influences neurodevelopment and offspring. We know that. So we see skyrocketing rates of autism. It's not just autism. We see skyrocketing rates of ADHD as well, simultaneously. And everybody's scratching their heads trying to figure out where is all this autism coming from? Where is all this ADHD coming from? Well, look around, people.

As the metabolic health of the United States population declines, we are going to see more neurodevelopmental disorders.

That is absolutely correct. And I go back to some of our prior conversation. So a 14-year-old girl who, is severely iron deficient, is metabolically unhealthy. Why? Because her mitochondria can't function properly without iron. She can be thin.

She can otherwise look like a healthy, attractive girl, but she can be metabolically unhealthy because she doesn't have all of the essential vitamins and nutrients that she needs. to have properly functioning mitochondria and metabolism. And why would that matter?

It matters because she might develop an anxiety disorder, or she might develop depression, or she might develop symptoms of an eating disorder. And then we're all scratching our heads, giving those labels, oh, you've got depression, you've got anxiety, you need Prozac, and maybe she really needs iron.

You know, what you're describing is kind of, in my mind, a really important next step. And the great news is that there are several research groups that I know of that are working on exactly that. One is a commercial company. I'm not going to name any names, but one is a commercial company that has a product of a series of biomarkers, blood biomarkers, that they believe are
