My boy woke me up at like every hour. I'm hoping I don't have mommy brain.

Boom and we're live. The newly mommy Dr. Rhonda Patrick, first of all

congratulations on making people.

Thank you.

Yeah, the cloning project was a success.

We were talking before the show about what a strange biological shift happens in your mind.

And isn't it? It's amazing, isn't it? And not just your mind and isn't it is it's amazing isn't it not just your mind right like

your person absolutely yeah it's completely amazing I had no idea that I would love

being a mom so much.

You know, I kind of waited until later in life to have a child.

And, you know, that was for a reason because I was, you know, really driven and loved what I was doing in science and I felt you know I didn't

feel that calling to like I've got to reproduce I've got to reproduce and then finally I was like well

if I don't reproduce now I I might not get a chance.

So, you know, that sort of pressure kind of nudged me a little bit, I think.

But yeah, the whole like process of getting pregnant and having this like you know person

growing inside me just the whole thing was amazing and then after having the

baby and he's like a person now and he's four months old and developing this

little personality I'm like so amazed by how in love I am with him and how like

how much I would do anything for him and how almost

nothing really affects me as much like stress of various things in life you know

I just look at him and you know see him smile at me and do some little things that are like

uniquely him and the wonder and awe in his eyes and it's just like gone.
