And we know that diet also plays a role. And one of the challenges, and I wonder how do you address this with your colleagues? Because this is something I've found even at Cleveland Clinic, working with some of the researchers, they're like, Well, we can't do everything at once. We can't do diet and exercise and supplements and sleep.

And I'm like, we can only do one thing at once because we don't know what's going to work. And I'm like, wait a minute. If you want to grow a nice garden, you don't just go, I'm going to give the water the plant water only, but no soil or sunlight. And then I'm going to give it sunlight, but no soil or water. It doesn't respect the laws of nature.

So how do you kind of battle that within the medical paradigm? Because it's really tough. We're looking for the single drug, for the single disease, or the single outcome, which is a model based on infection, which can work. But even then it's flawed because it depends on the biological terrain and why some people get sick and don't, or why some people die and don't. We see that with COVID.

Yeah, you were talking earlier about this idea of comorbidities, which is a term we use in medicine to describe diseases that occur in the same patient. So if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, reflux, we call these comorbidities. But we were talking earlier about how they may not really be unrelated, that in fact, they may be very connected.

And it sounds like from your observations, you made the conclusion that maybe it wasn't a coincidence that the fact that people who were overweight or unhealthy also had mental health issues, maybe there was a relationship, nutritional deficiencies, metabolic issues. You talk a lot about insulin resistance.
