Now, old people, you know, they think about that a lot, right?

But the fact that everyone, everyone, and I'll go back, for those who joined late, my favorite quote in the book was, you know,

Okay, I'll let you figure out what the first one is.

All right, so we have had a fun discussion.

Trisha, you are a gem.

I just, you know, not only your Washington Post, Ask a Doctor columnist, this book, all the work that you do to, you know, advance the science.

And like you said, your work you're doing on Parkinson's.

A lot of people don't realize that this is very much in so many people rooted in their gut rather than their brain.

Hopefully we'll get some progress.

We need something there for Parkinson's.

We still don't have a disease-modifying intervention there.

So hopefully you'll be successful in working through the gut.

But thank you.

Thank you for this work and putting it together and taking the time.

I've had so much fun.

You made me laugh so much my nose is running.

And look, everybody, if you don't, if you don't, if you think you have perfect Bristol scale four and you have, you go everything perfect, maybe this book isn't for you, but it's probably for other people, you know, to get this book because most of us have a problem.

Yeah.
