Yes, exactly what it was. It was very stressful, and I didn't make any money. But I wouldn't change anything for the world because that's where those doctors were kind enough to teach a medical doctor what they had learned. And I was open-minded enough to let them teach me, to let someone be a teacher. I don't know everything. And that's part of what's wrong with medical doctors.

Some in the system is that they aren't open to learning things that they weren't taught in medical school.

It's not a job. It's part of your life.

You know, at first I was dabbling in things like hormones, thyroid hormones, sex hormones, things like that. I really didn't understand because you're taught as a physician, you don't really understand the root causes. There are labels, but you really aren't taught. They'll say something in the environment, something in your genes caused it, and that's it.

No, it's sustainable. So, you know, they really, you know, I think with me, I started asking questions until I couldn't ask questions anymore. And one particular patient sticks out in my mind here at Whitaker Wellness. Actually, I was there when Dr. Mark Philaday was there, who does a lot in mold and lime. And it was the beginning of my career in functional medicine.

I didn't know a lot about those topics. And a patient came in who had heart palpitations at night and his thyroid was all messed up and he had severe anxiety and all these other kind of just very vague catch-all symptoms. And I was new, so I asked Dr. Mark Filaday to see him for me as a second opinion. And he came back and said, this guy's Lyme. And I missed it.

And I didn't even think to test for it. And by God, I never missed it again. I'll tell you that. That was my lesson. And so I watched him nurse my patient back to health. And I was on the periphery.
