And the reality is metabolism is those things and is related to those things and does largely influence those things. But metabolism is so much more than just those things. You know, the simplest definition is probably it's a process that all living organisms use to take food, oxygen, and some other critical ingredients like vitamins and nutrients and turn those into food.

energy or building blocks for cells and that that is what fuels our bodies it's how our bodies grow it's how our cells repair themselves but it's also how our cells end up making hormones it's how they make neurotransmitters it's how our muscles move in a way metabolism is biology So in that sense, it's like this overwhelmingly complicated thing.

Depending on where in the body it's occurring. Yes. When your, when your biology is off or when your metabolism is off, you are likely going to have signs or symptoms of a problem somewhere in your brain or body. And that could be high blood pressure, high blood glucose in the form of prediabetes or diabetes. It could be obesity.

It could be depression or anxiety or ADHD symptoms or seizures or Alzheimer's disease. It spans all of those. Again, not because metabolism is simple, but because metabolism is ridiculously complicated and all-encompassing when it comes to biology. So in that sense, some researchers will even push back on me and say, Chris, come on, that's not very helpful.

If you're saying that all of this is related to biology, then that doesn't really help us much. But once you see this big picture and you see these different puzzle pieces and how they all fit together, you can actually come up with shockingly revolutionary treatments sometimes for people with mild mental health conditions all the way to severe, crippling, disabling mental health conditions.

That is exactly right. That's the way most people think of...

You're a shrink and you lay people on couches and you talk to them about their dreams and their past and their childhood and everything else. Or you're focused on these chemical imbalances, all these neurotransmitters, and you're prescribing pills. Lithium, Prozac, Zoloft, Xanax, Klonopin, Depakote, whatever. You're just prescribing pills. to try to modulate the brain activity.
