Yeah. So just like Callie, you know, we grew up in D.C. I was I loved biology, went to Stanford Medical School, went on to do surgical residency and head and neck surgery, climb the ladder, you know, do what every good medical student and resident is supposed to do, climb the academic ranks, publish papers, et cetera. And so I was heads down in that journey. And.

Just like Kelly's saying, like with what I think is happening with the American people right now and really more globally, like there was something inside of me that was whispering and then speaking a little louder. And then finally was a deafening call to me that like something is not right. Like I'm operating. I'm working eight hours a week.

I'm operating, you know, two, three, four or five surgeries a day. And, you know, in some ways, I feel good about that. You know, people, maybe their sinusitis is a little better for a little while. But fundamentally, when you pop up for just a second, which they don't want you to do in health care, you know, everyone's working their tails off.

But when you pop up for just a second and look around at what is happening to American health, children's health, health across the lifespan, as well as global health, it's a disaster. It's literally a disaster. And again, this isn't... People will say that's alarmist, but I... You know, in trying to understand, like, why don't I feel right about my work?

I just started looking at the data in a different way. And I started to look at what's happening with health trends. And if you just kind of run through the list of what's happening, it's unbelievable. Like we are getting destroyed and it's very recent and it's accelerating. The stats speak for themselves. You know, you know this very well. Seventy four percent of Americans are overweight or obese.

Now it's 50% of Americans have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Alzheimer's, dementia are going through the roof. Young adult dementias have increased like three times since 2012. So early onset dementias, we're seeing...
