Yeah.

Yeah.

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

Okay.

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

But that was the context.

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

And it was then where I learned about two things.

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

One is where this idea of getting a PhD, because I noticed that most of the leaders will have a PhD, most of the leaders in the university.

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

And I realized in the United States is one of the training grounds, main training grounds for PhDs.

And the other one was nutrition.

I was a little bit more keen on perhaps going into veterinary school.

And then I had an experience in a dairy farm in California where I learned the value of nutrition.

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

There was more prophylactic rather than a palliative or like treating the cow, right?

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

And that kind of convinced me to look for a training in nutrition.

And then a friend of mine, the late Abel Garnath, he was able to connect me with some friends and my mentor at North Carolina State University.

And that's where I ended up doing my PhD in nutrition.

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

And that's where the career became.

Huberman Lab

And then maybe another detail in there is that I was so excited about taking... That's where I took my first physiology class.

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

And all of a sudden, I realized that in a way, the body was like a machine, right?

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

Like, obviously, it's a limited way of thinking, but the body was like a machine.

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

And one of the professors was a neuroscientist.

And I took two physiologists, two human physiologists with him.
