So I want to dig into that first, though. Let's go back to what you said about the impact of chronic stress on our lives, because I've I've actually spent a great deal of time with that as well. Seeing like the anxiety that's kind of built through my family and then kind of trickled down into my life and worked on fixing that. And it's a struggle.

I mean, it's a I think we all probably struggle with to a point. Some people obviously far worse than others. So. In your studies and your treatment of patients and things of that nature, if you could maybe, and I know this is hard to say, but maybe give a percentage of the amount of people you feel actually struggle with this and some of the techniques that you utilize to treat chronic stress.

And also, how serious is that for our general overall health?

Right. Okay. So I'm very sympathetic when it comes to people that have like mental health, anxiety, stress, but at the same time, I'm wondering how you differentiate this because what I've seen, I analyze people. I'm no psychiatrist, but I mean, with all of the work I've done throughout the years, I analyze people, actions, reactions, emotions.

That's kind of what I do from being in sales and then to interviewing people and being around people, you kind of have to have a knack for that. So I guess over time, what I've observed is mental health has obviously been talked about a lot more. And I'm also the focus on concussions and things like that in sports, right?

So we see this progression and it's it's I guess it's being more accepted to talk about it and to view it. But I do feel like some people revert to calling being stressed or in stressful situations than claiming they have a mental health problem. So I guess my question for you is, how do you differentiate if I were to come to you and say, Dr. Dave, I've got some mental health issues.

How do you differentiate between just stress and true like mental health conditions?

Okay, I'm going to relate this to something. And then I'm going to tell you why I admire your approach and why you're doing it. So for me, I do a lot of hormone optimization. And so I'll get people that will come to me and say, Oh, I'm tired. And you know, and oh, I've got this symptom or that symptom relating it to low testosterone, right? And They so quickly want to jump on TRT.

And They so quickly want to jump on TRT.

And so I'm going to compare that to with you. I'm assuming that a lot of people want to jump on a medication. But what I try to do and what I can see that you try to do is we try to find the root cause and fix that first as opposed to just medicating. So for me, you could you may have low testosterone for sure. I may pull your blood panel and see that it's there.

But I will go in and say, oh, you've got high SHBG. So that's bounding up your free testosterone. Oh, you have a liver problem. Oh, this and that's causing it. This let's fix this first and then see the result as opposed to just here's TRT forever. So is that kind of similar to what you do is let's dig in here, find the cause, treat that, see if it fixes the issue.
