Yeah. So when I was doing my training in internal medicine, um, it was funny. I actually thought I was going to maybe specialize in hematology, oncology. Then I thought I was going to do cardiology and I landed on gastro because I just liked the, the, the system. And I struggled with some irritable bowel syndrome myself. Maybe that's TMI, but I did. And I also liked procedures.

Like I wanted to be a proceduralist. So you do upper endoscopies, colonoscopies, and you get to do really cool things when you're in there with the scope, like stop bleeding ulcers and take out really large masses or polyps that could turn into cancer or that maybe are cancer. And you have a lot of opportunities to like

save people from surgery sometimes by being able to utilize the instruments and the and do the procedure the correct way so that's why I went into GI and I really like I said I do love the system it's like you know the hole in the donut you know everything from your mouth down to your anus And then it's also your liver, your pancreas, your spleen, your gallbladder.

So it's a big system to have fun with and diagnose a lot of different conditions and diseases and obviously treat them. So that's why I chose it. Then it was a perfect segue when I went into the functional integrative world, right, or the longevity state to transition. It was very natural for me to transition into being a gut microbiome specialist or really specializing and honing in on that area.

And also before I even went into the functional medicine space, I, you know, always gravitated towards treating the gut microbiome, like for years, like right out, right when I got out of my fellowship and I was in the conventional world, you know, my two senior partners who were both males, they were like, what are you doing? Like, they're like, why are you not scoping all these people?

They're like, how are you getting them better? And, you know, I was using nutrition and I was using probiotics. I was using all these things and they're like, what? And then they started jumping on the bandwagon and doing things like that. So anyway, I always gravitated toward trying to treat people more naturally. Right.

And more to the root cause and not symptomatic management pill for every ill. You know, so that's always been something that I was passionate about anyway. So it was a it was a pretty natural move for me.

Well, it's funny. So when I first got out of my fellowship and I started practicing, I started using probiotics and prebiotics, more probiotics. We don't learn about any of that.

And I don't know why, but I literally had a stack of like papers like this, this high of every article and any article I could get my hands on to, you know, basically, you know, understand like why this helps people stay healthy, how it impacts your immune system. Why?
