But I saw it, and I saw the kind of whispers in the wind let's say, the sort of tea leaves. And I was like, okay, this is really something. And when I started to do this with my patients and when we do this now, we see profound improvements in mood and obviously digestive health and all other areas of health. So gut is just linked to everything.

So fix the gut, fix the body, fix the gut, fix the brain. I know how powerful this is and how powerful functional medicine is for fixing depression because I also had it. myself. And it wasn't because of something that had to do with my psycho-emotional health, but my physical health. My brain literally broke one day in 1996. I felt like I had ADD, depression, and dementia all at once.

I saw lots of doctors, psychiatrists. No one could find the cause, although they wanted me to take Prozac for my symptoms. And no one could agree on the diagnosis. Some said I had depression. Others said I had chronic fatigue. And in fact, I did have chronic fatigue. And I started to de- dive into the literature.

And I consulted with other doctors and scientists, people on the leading edge of medicine. And I started to do some experimentation. And when I came to understand that it wasn't just one thing that caused my brain to break, it was accumulation of a lot of things. Diet stuff, stress, environmental toxins like mercury was a big factor. My gut was just a mess. In fact, that's what happened.

I had mercury underlying all this. And then one day I got some kind of gut infection up in Maine at a camp. And then boom, my gut was off. And it didn't get back on track for many years until I figured out how to fix it. And all that leads to inflammation. So rebalancing my gut microbiome, getting rid of the mercury. It was messing up my gut because mercury interferes with gut function.

It was the key to getting my brain and health back. I also saw this with so many of my patients. I had a woman who had severe OCD. She wouldn't clean up her house for years because she didn't want to move things around on the floor. Looked at her health and her biology and try to see what was going on. And in functional medicine, we just take out the bad stuff, put in the good stuff.

So I saw she had a lot of bad bugs in her gut, a lot of overgrowth of yeast, and I gave her basically an antibiotic and a fungal that was designed to kill those particular bugs. And literally overnight, her OCD went away and she was able to clean up her whole house after decades. I also had a little girl who was a sweet little girl, nine years old, but was a terror.
