So really, without you guys, that wouldn't be possible. Thank you so much for letting me share my story, too. And I just want to say also thank you to my aunt Teresa for being willing to donate.

Okay, yeah. So I'm speaking kind of of social media and maybe some other things that I've seen online. Can you speak to any of the not FDA approved weight loss?

medications or methods that I've kind of seen promoted, you know, like there's like tummy detox teas and there's like all of the, I know you're a pharmacist and you specialize in things that are approved, but have you seen any implications from the things that aren't?

Yeah, I can go ahead for sure. So I think I was the one that kind of sparked this conversation in the first place in one of the other episodes. We have several episodes on death, dying, hospice care. A lot of these things bring up these thoughts and feelings of mortality and immortality. And I, like Stan, had been around death pretty young and you're confronted with

A lot of these things bring up these thoughts and feelings of mortality and immortality. And I, like Stan, had been around death pretty young and you're confronted with

The reality of death when you don't even necessarily have a full understanding of what it means to be alive. That was my experience. And as I grew up and I continue to be surrounded by death and dying, as I grew up and I got a little bit. older, I realized despite seeing death, I did have an illusion of immortality, probably up until I was like 21.

I think that might have something to do with brain development that might have to do with, you know, education, learning. I'm not really sure. But now that I'm 25 now, and I work with participants, research participants that are 70, 80, 90, 100. And seeing death,

Seeing and speaking with these people on a day-to-day basis that are at a much different place in their timeline of life than I am, they remind me of my mortality. Despite me being so young, I think about that.

And I think that it has such a positive impact on my life, believe it or not, because I've turned myself into a little bit of a yes man, where I don't say no to things unless there's a really, really good reason for me not to do things. because I know that I might not have this opportunity again in my lifetime. And life is to be lived while you're alive.

And so I think that without the reminder that I get from my research participants, from the elders in my life, I don't think I would have the same outlook. And I truly think it makes me a better person. And I don't think I always had this outlook. I definitely had the illusion of immortality when I was You know, you're 16. You're like, what could happen? Like, I'll speed.

I'll do these crazy things. Nothing could possibly happen. When you get older, you realize anything could happen at any moment. Anything could happen. So that's kind of been my my transition, at least. And I know that that's kind of a unique position to be in at my age, but I do think it's a positive thing in my lifetime.
