You know what's interesting when you say that?

I used to, when I was in high school, before basketball games or football games, it's like I had to go to the bathroom, you know, almost like 10, 20 minutes before, right before, I was like,

even though I was doing well and I was a good athlete and things like that.

And I was, you know, succeeding.

It's almost like every time there was a game I had to use.

And I was like almost running late.

It was like warmups are happening and I got to go run to the bathroom.

Yep.

And how is that connected to the brain and the gut when you feel like, oh, I gotta go to the bathroom.

Well, so this is your sympathetic nervous system.

Okay.

So this was, this is what was happening with you.

And it's parallel.

It's the same as when I was in medical school and you take, you know, basically 200 people that were at the top of their class in college, you put them all into one class and half of them are, are less than average.

Wow.

Right.

At Georgetown.

Right.

So there was a lot of stress.

Sure.
