and I get to have my good friend, Dr. Shivani Gupta, on the podcast with me. I met Dr. Shimani at a conference. And literally, people out there, you guys know when you meet somebody that you know you're going to jail with them. Like, it's almost like you see somebody like, oh, they're a long lost friend. And that's how I think we were, right, when we met each other. I'm like, how are you? How are you? And we gave each other the biggest hug. Remember that? I do.

We're going to talk about the inflammation code. We're going to talk about the inflammation coat.

We're going to talk about Argyvetics. So, doc, first, people like to know about you. So can you

give us a history of the doc? For sure. I grew up in a family that lived in two worlds. So I grew up in

Houston, Texas, and I also grew up in

India, in New Delhi, every summer of my life, visiting my grandparents and cousins. And so

living in two worlds is really weird because in America, if I'd get sick, you go to the pediatrician,
