And as you know, it's like the most limiting and also like even commercially is the most expensive right now.

Huberman Lab
Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis

But I promised you that this was a fun...

Huberman Lab
Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis

A fun topic, right?

Huberman Lab
