You're going to be like this for the rest of your life. You just have to accept that, oh, it must be genetic. You know, the researchers and the clinicians who say that I have zero doubt. They actually have such good intentions when they say that. And the intention is, I don't want to blame people. And I want them to know this isn't your fault. This isn't your fault.
But by telling people it's genetic.

So I think that's, again, I think that a lot of people think that that's benevolent. I actually think it's harmful because you're making people hopeless. You're telling people that you are defective. That's not good. Your genes are defective. It's not your fault. It's your parents' fault and their grandparents' fault and their parents' fault and their parents' fault.

But you're going to have to take medicines for the rest of your life. I don't like that. And we're sorry that these meds aren't working ideally. This is the best we got. We're sorry that you're in the hospital every other year. Oh, man.

We're sorry that you can't work because your depression and anxiety are so bad or because your mood instability is so bad or because your ADHD is so bad or because your learning disorder is so bad. We're sorry you can't work. We're sorry you're not thriving. But that's just the way it is. And you're just gonna have to accept it and accept that you've got this unfortunate condition.

Again, in the last 25 years, we're telling that to four times more people. Four times more people than we were 25 years ago. And it's not because we're just recognizing it more. people's brains are being impaired. That's what I think. At the same time that we have skyrocketing rates of obesity and diabetes,

And we see impairment and appetite signaling and satiety signaling and fat cells and everything else. Obesity is that. Obesity is a biological pathological process. It is not good for you. By and large, I think for most people, it's not their fault.

If somebody's telling you, eat this food, eat these chips, eat these Pop-Tarts, these are good for you, and you're eating them, and those things are making you sick, I think the first step is somebody needs to inform the person that these are not good for you.
