Gum is fine.

And it helps me wake up in the morning with my coffee.

I mean, the nicotine gets a bad rap from the delivery system.

And my fish oil.

I do fish oil, the patch, and my coffee with the little lion's mane in it.

And I'm perfect.

But you don't find that when you use the nicotine patch or nicotine gum that you get less of a calming sensation or a reward feeling from using that once you've been on that medication?

I've never gotten a reward feeling other than my head clears up so I can think.

First thing when I wake up in the morning, my head is very foggy.

And it's always been that way.

So if I need to do something important at eight o'clock, I'm waking up at four.

Right.

Just so I can be completely clear and ready to go.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Makes sense.

From early research and clinical observations, where does this look most promising so far?

I mean, I think number one, let's just talk about obesity, right?

So to me, obesity is still looking at addiction because People Overeaters Anonymous is not losing members anytime soon.

So America has an obesity problem.
