I am. So it's exciting. So one of my passions has always been nutrition. And I started a company with a medical doctor about two years ago called AHARA. It was pretty clear to me when we got in the market, we've been in the market about one year, that really what people kept asking us for was help with losing weight.

And even we're selling into corporations, they would say, do you have a track on weight loss? We certainly did, but not the track they wanted. So we did. And we still do. We have a metabolic track to how to speed up your metabolism, foods that are best for you.

But really what they wanted in corporations and what our customers was telling us, no, we want to understand what's going on in the weight loss drug world. And we want to know how to eat if we choose to go in that route. So like an Ozempic or a Wagamay. And so we launched Ahara Med.

So we spent, I spent a lot of time along with some of the key people working with me, interviewing doctors, groups that are specialized in weight loss and can help someone. Number one, number two. We went to state-licensed compounders because the drugs in the compounding are similar. The active ingredients are the same. So they use the same active ingredients, but they compound them differently.

Compounding means they're made. They're actually made not in mass production with a big brand. They're small batch. And there isn't a drug shortage. There is a delivery mechanism shortage. So the big brands use special pens that obscure the fact that you're putting a needle in you.

It doesn't maybe look like a needle. But what I decided after talking to my investors, that we should own the compounding pharmacies. We should have the relationships with the doctors. And really importantly, we should work with the insurance companies to make sure that we could get nutrition consulting through registered dietitians approved with the insurance companies so we could be there.
