help those people earlier on before the brain started to struggle and i think that that's really interesting and of course we want to do most to reduce the problem in the first place

They've also done studies on talk therapies.

So obviously psychiatry is compartmentalised into the talk therapists and the drug therapists.

And there's quite a lot of evidence that talk therapy does reduce inflammation levels and help your immune system.

So just in the same way possibly that talking to friends has that effect.

So talking to your therapist long term

will reduce your stress, and you can see that in blood markers as well.

The whole thing is starting to come together, that all these different ways of treating it can be working through similar pathways that look so different through the fact that we've got so distracted by Descartes, Freud, treating the brain as something so different to the rest of the body.

I'm uncontainably excited about the idea that we can dramatically improve our lives and our health just by making the right food choices.

This is really driving me to talk about it so much, to do the studies, to do the science, to spread the word, because, you know, we're seeing all the time the dramatic effects.

And I was talking about the TV program was doing with these, you know, these these families that are really suffering.

It just shows you what you can do if you start.

Treating food like you would treat medicine, you know, taking it really seriously and experimenting with it and noticing those differences.

And, you know, I get the feedback all the time because the books and the media, people telling me how their lives have been transformed.

And so...

That feedback keeps me excited on this topic.

And so I've never had that in my career before.

And it's super exciting.

Well, knowledge is power, but it's not the only thing.

You need tricks.
