It's funny, we have we have kids as young as five years old being uh diagnosed with ADHD and being put on f amphetamines, uh Adderall, Aritalin.

You know, and there's some kids who definitely need that.

There's no question about it.

I'm not anti med, but I think I think we're well we're well overdiagnosing or well over prescribing these medications.

You know, maybe the kid's running around, you know, because he's, I don't know, five, you know, and maybe instead of uh putting him on uh drugs to get a

five-year-old to behave like a 45-year-old, maybe instead of feeding him three bowls of frosted sugar bombs every morning, you give him eggs, protein, right?

Some veggies in the morning, and then you let him run around for a half hour instead of putting him in front of the television.

You know, then have him go to school and see the difference.

You know, the amount of things that I've been able to do for myself that have been massively that have massively shifted how my brain works and how I work and how productive I am and how happy I am.

They're little tiny things like exercising, like eating healthier.

I quit drinking.

Not that not not that I'm assuming that you know twelve year olds are drinking, but who knows?

But I quit drinking just because I understand that I don't have the ability to moderate.

And looking back on it now in junior high, I I didn't.

I if I had something I wanted to say, I said it.

I shared it, right? 'Cause it was the most important thing.

I have to share it.
