Before you jump on that, I just want to double down because I think what you're saying is so important around nutritional issues. And many people are walking around with nutritional deficiencies that they don't really know they have. And one of the things we do at the Ultra Ball Center is focus on deep nutritional testing.

And we're seeing across the population massive deficiencies in omega-3s and vitamin D and magnesium and even things like zinc and iron. These are really common. And all of these affect the brain. And they're commonly found low in people with ADHD and even things like autism, the whole spectrum of neurodevelopmental or cognitive issues. And so you get a lot of information from the diagnostics.

And then you can use treatments to actually fix it. You can give people omega-3, you can give people vitamin D, give people magnesium and the right forms of magnesium. You can give people zinc, iron. All these things are critical in order for the brain to work because basically nutrients are the helpers for all the chemical reactions for every new transmitting you make.

And if you don't have optimal levels of these, your brain's not going to be working and the rest of your body's not going to be working because everything's connected, right? So it's really important that you found these things and they're easily correctable. So it wasn't just her gut or the yeast issue, but she had like a whole complex of things. And this is the point in functional medicine.

It's not just one thing. In medicine, in traditional medicine, it's like single diagnosis, single drug. In functional medicine, we look at the connections and patterns in everything. So we can see the tremendous things that are out of balance that are driving whatever problem we're looking at, whatever it is in functional medicine or in health issues that you have.

we actually were able to identify those dysfunctions. And that's what you did. We had a deep dive with this patient into their biology, and you found so much to treat.

And in the treating of that, you weren't treating ADHD, you were just treating the imbalances in her system, in her gut, in nutritional status, her mitochondria, that then helped her to actually have a recovery to set up normal function. So keep going on the next step you were going to talk about.
