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.

So how did you come to sort of understand that that was really going on, that the biology of that was something that was real?

Which is incredible because when you look at the level of mental illness in society, it's one of the biggest causes of disability. And one of the biggest costs is depression and anxiety. And I remember when I was seeing patients early on, treating them for insulin resistance and prediabetes and other issues or gut issues or diabetes.

other factors that were going on related to autoimmune disease or inflammation, and we would get them healthy, they would sort of say, wait, you know, my depression went away. My anxiety went away. My panic attacks are gone. My bipolar disease is better. My ADD is better. And I'm like, well, how did that happen?

And then you begin to go down the rabbit hole and you begin to look at the biology of what's happening. And one of the, I think the greatest discoveries around mental health is that it's an inflammatory problem very often that the brain is inflamed, but the brain can't say, ouch, like you have a sore throat or, you know, a swollen ankle. It manifests as all these psychiatric symptoms.

So I'd love to be sort of take us down the road of how inflammation is connected to mental illness and what the approaches that you're using to help correct that.
