I'm working like a minimum of 12 hours a day, but most days, 15 or 18 hours, sometimes 30 hours straight. I'm giving everything that I got to getting through this process. And when you're in that sort of place where it's like, look, your sleep is disrupted. You don't have time for exercise. You don't have time for yourself. You're constantly stressed.

When you're in that place, you just, you desperately want some sort of control over your environment. You want something that you actually have control over and it needs to be something that makes you feel good. And for me, that thing was food. And so it's not like I sat there and thought that I was eating a healthy diet when I was getting $15 worth of Taco Bell.

But at the same time, I also really wasn't that worried about it because I thought I'm young. My body can handle this. I'm going to be like, I'm, you know, I'm strong enough. I'm tough enough. And frankly, I need this. Like I deserve this. I've earned this because I've worked so hard. This is all I got is this. And, you know, you make those sacrifices.

And over the long run, it's just like, I mean, I know this didn't happen overnight, but I felt like I woke up one day and I felt like you look in the mirror and you think of like my self-image of myself was an athlete. I played three sports every year when I was in high school. And you look in the mirror and you're just like, dude, who are you? And my gut was sagging over my belt.

I had high blood pressure, I had high cholesterol, tons of anxiety, and I was just in a bad place. And I knew I needed a way out. And the irony is despite, like nothing against these institutions, I'm very proud of my education, but despite being educated at Georgetown and Northwestern and the University of North Carolina, like I really didn't have a great solution to my own problems.

I didn't want what I was actually offering to my own patients, which was pills. I didn't want that. But I wasn't really sure how to fix this despite all that education. So there was a period of time where I was trying stuff. And the first thing that I tried was exercise. I thought I can exercise my way out of this.

And I was doing about 45 minutes of strength training plus 30 minutes of cardio of some variety. Um, six days a week and I could grow stronger and faster and those kinds of things, but the gut didn't go away. The anxiety didn't go away. The low self-esteem didn't get better. And so it was ultimately, frankly, stumbling into a dietary change that allowed me to get myself to a better place.

And when it, when it changed my life. I, as a medical doctor, felt like I have no choice now. Like this has to be a part of what I do for my patients. Because if you find something that powerful, that it doesn't matter whether you learned it in medical school or you learned it on your own.
