I mean, the idea that the body is so powerful, you can put whatever you want into it, and it's going to be able to do what it needs to do with that. I love that. I wish it was true. But So I don't know.

Actually, no, I haven't spoken with pharmacists much. Pharmacists can interact with us. They often will do the medication or interaction checking for patients like that, or some pharmacists will really help their patient understand how a supplement or medication might be reacting if they have that.

So that's how we interact, but not a lot of direct interaction with pharmacists, at least me personally.

Right.

Yeah, there's actually a lot to talk about with the supplement issue and farms. We are trained in use of vitamins, herbs, and supplementation. And so most of us, not all of us, are experts in brands, utilization, and prescription of these. And it's a common tool we use like that. And yeah, and also the supplement industry is a bit of a Wild West, which is good and bad.

Yeah, because they're not regulated. You have a variety of products on the market and a consumer really doesn't. frequently doesn't have the education needed to understand why something costs $20 versus $80. Why would that be helpful or not?

And so most of the things you see in the drugstore are lower quality, lower cost supplementation that may be useless, mislabeled, or be okay, but it's hard to parse that out like that.

Oh, for me, I work with, I would say, a lot of... Or the issue, or not, yeah, whatever, yeah. Yeah, because, you know, we all have different specialties. Sure, OK. So I tend to... Common things in a primary care setting, cardiovascular risk, a lot of digestive issues. That's very common.

Oh, yeah, lots of things. People can use it. Yeah, instead of taking a statin, you might have, for statin intolerant people, there are other replacements, ways of working with diet, lifestyle, supplementation. That's a common place. I think functional digestive issues are a huge, huge area where we can provide a lot of relief for people.
