And I think it's because the pendulum has swung so far.

We don't need to go through all the stats, but we are one of the largest, if not the largest spender on healthcare worldwide.

We're one of the sickest, fattest, most disease-ridden nations in the world, civilized nations for sure.

Morbid obesity, chronic, you know, multiple chronic disease in a single biome.

42% of our children having at least one chronic disease, which is just astounding.

You don't see that in other countries.

We don't have a lot of education around whole foods, around the importance of mobility.

Things like community, connection, purpose go largely pushed aside as not having any impact on

on lifespan or healthspan.

What's really refreshing to me is I've heard you speak a number of times.

One of the things that you talked about were some of the specific agenda items that the FDA is doing.

And I want to talk about some of those because

You talked about, for example, the number of warning letters that went out during the last administration.

I think it was one.

The number of letters that went out under your administration, and it was over a thousand.

And if you could talk specifically about

your orientation towards prevention versus treatment.

Your intention is to try to keep people out of the system.

Because we know that once they're in the system, they just continue to progress.

And this is what we have right now.
