And because of this gene, she's more prone to anxiety, more prone to having more difficulties under stress or any environment because she kind of can't clear the dopamines.

Because those help the mitochondria too, and they're very potent antioxidants as well. Yeah, I mean, it's interesting you bring up the mitochondria because Suzanne Goh is a pediatric neurologist at Harvard, Oxford. She's now pioneered a whole new approach to autism.

And she found that looking at very sophisticated brain MRI techniques called functional brain MRIs, she was able to see that these kids have very dysfunctional mitochondria with autism. So they can't make energy. So the brain has an energy deficit.

And so essentially what you found with Claire, in addition to the gut issues, in addition to the nutritional deficiencies, in addition to the genetics, she had sort of this underlying energy deficit in her mitochondria, which is making the brain not work properly. So optimizing the mitochondria is also part of the treatment protocol.

So George, what you said just now is really important. I want to unpack it. You talked about something called the exposome. And the exposome is basically everything that your biology is exposed to throughout your life from day one. and how that affects every system in your body.

So it's what you eat, it's your thoughts, it's exercise, it's sleep, it's stress, it's relationships, it's your microbiome, it's toxins, all the things that we have to deal with affect our biology. And we can modify those things. And 90% of chronic disease is caused by the exposome, not the genome.

So you might have genetic predispositions, but it doesn't mean you're going to get the problem unless you set yourself up by having

a lifestyle or exposures to toxins that are disrupting your your your biological function and causing problems in your gene expression so it's it kind of was interesting when you're talking about this case it's not just one thing you're dealing with your gut you're dealing with nutritional status you're dealing with you know nutrient deficiencies you're dealing with there are transmitted problems and genetics that make that difficult you're dealing with mitochondrial issues and toxins and there was one other thing you kind of found in her which i think is common and interesting which has to do with
