the millions of people who have not yet developed those complications who have diabetes and the folks who have prediabetes and obesity. And this is, you know, diabetes is the tip of the iceberg, right? We have a whole society below that where we need to drive impact because we can't just medicate everybody in the country.

So really thinking about the root cause and finding the right nutrition for the individual patient. And this is part of precision medicine, right? Personalizing your diet to what works for you. And it's hard work. I mean,

What our coaches and clinicians do at Virta, it's a daily, again, like a white glove experience where we're getting that data, we're doing that positive feedback to make those changes, to learn and course correct when things aren't going well, to celebrate when we get those lab reviews. So really, it has to be a very patient-centric, holistic approach.

I think so. I think if you could prevent, I mean, I'm of the mindset prevention is always better. Less is more. So if you can teach people to eat well and keep them healthy, that's better for everyone. They feel better. They have all the other Forget about just the metabolic risk. Think about neurocognitive risk, cancer risk. There's so many downstream things that just by eating right, we can fix.

And then I'll just really quickly say like even sort of transgenerational, like when young adults who are in their prime reproductive years When they're metabolically unhealthy, we know there's all this epigenetic changes that drives the next couple of generations to have metabolic dysfunction. So there's real implications for populations when you teach them how to eat correctly.

And the last thing I'll add is diabetes disproportionately affects minority populations and those with less socioeconomic means. Imagine if we could improve that without costly medications and prevent it. and close some of the complication gaps and the death gaps that we have in the United States.
