This is like pre wellness world, pre like having access the way we do today with experts on social media.

You know, all that was really available to to the inquisitive scientific world.

amateur mind was like, you know, maybe TED Talks and books.

But I had read enough books at that point that I realized that like even medical doctors, like,

aren't all that accurate or seemingly rigorous in terms of their research because there's a lot of misinformation in nutrition books, diet books, wellness books, right?

So I was like, maybe I could even be more rigorous in my research and even be more accurate and responsible than some of these MDs that I'm looking to for answers.

So I felt this, yeah, this, I guess, profound sense of entitlement to seize the reins at that point of our destiny.

I mean, obviously, it didn't go as well as I would have hoped in terms of my mom's health, which was out of my control.

But in terms of the knowledge that I've acquired, I mean, I've learned more about nutrition and health than I ever thought I would in a lifetime.

And also just because somebody has those credentials doesn't mean that they know what they're talking about necessarily.

So true.

You know, when people routinely cut you off, like I would often like get really irked by that.

But I brought some I have two close friends who have a tendency to like cut me off mid-sentence and like, you know, interject.

And I learned relatively recently, I forget where I learned it, but that for many people, that's actually a sign of anxiety.

People who are prone to like interjecting, they have like anxiety and that's why they do it.

So instead of getting like irked about that now, I'm like, I connected the dots and I'm like, actually that person is a really anxious person.

They're cutting me off because they just can't wait their turn to speak.

It's like, it's an anxiety thing.

It's like an anxiety tick.

It's not necessarily that they don't value.
