But I found out that I have certain metals that were higher in my body, like the metal content was higher in my body than it should have been, and that was causing anxiety.

And so, of course, I naturally had anxiety from other things as well, but it was amplifying it to like a pretty insane degree where like my neurons were like overfiring.

And so they gave me like a bunch of supplements and I took them all for a while.

And it really did actually like I still am an anxious person, but not the way I was during 2020.

And he was like, you're just you're just riling yourself up every day.

So once I did that, I did actually notice a pretty like big relief in my anxiety.

But it also was like.

par for the course for somebody who's got ocd and is always like anxious about what's the worst that can happen and we're in a global health pandemic it's like well health is the first my brain's going to go to yeah yeah yeah i it's interesting i felt very lucky during covid that um

It's not me to be alone with these little guys in here.

But, you know, we got through it.

I've done a lot of work on my OCD, a lot of like exposure therapy and whatnot.

So I think I'm like I wouldn't say I'm healed necessarily, but like for the most part, germs don't freak me out as much anymore.

Yeah.

Especially when you travel the way that I travel and my job is the way that it is.

Like, there was no option but for me to figure it out, honestly.

It was just, like, it kind of came during COVID.

And I was, like, what even is that?

I didn't even know I had this thing.

I didn't even know this was something that I was worried about.

And now it was, like, it was ever-present for, like, six months.
