So is this some of the guidance that is coming out?

Yes.

So you'll have guidance for parents, guidance for educators.

Are you going to publicize some of what your research has shown linked to some of the harms so that—

Why don't you think more states have adopted these policies?

That's interesting.

Good to hear.

I don't purport to really understand who has the legislative authority over public school systems.

So the federal government can't legislate this in and pass something at a federal level that says, hey, we need these bell-to-bell policies.

That's really left up to the states.

That's great.

You know, we also talked about gut health at lunch today.

And it's so inspired to hear you talking about that.

I'm like, wow, the Office of the Surgeon General is really thinking about gut health.

We're in a new era.

This is...

really good because, you know, clearly in my work and my community, I mean, we know the detriments of having gut dysbiosis and all of the downstream consequences from behavioral disorders to what we call mood and mental illnesses to tension deficit and all kinds of consequences just from having a really disrupted gut microbiome or really poor gut function, gut dysbiosis.

So are there initiatives surrounding gut health that you're working on?

We make neurotransmitters there.

Yeah.
