For us who are falling in this chronic stress state, a lot of the guys you have on your

podcast, you know, we're always in this hyper-aroused state where eventually our adrenals stop.

three years. It has three in change. Yep. So we were at a different studio the last time you were

here. And yeah, I appreciate you coming back. I know we've been trying to line this up for a

little while now. Two busy schedules sometimes can be difficult even though we're in the same city,

but so since episode 49, the last three years, before we get into some of kind of the new topics

and things, health and nutrition and fitness related that we're going to talk about, give us

an update on what you've been up to. Head down, grinding quite a bit. My focus has really been on

my mission in functional medicine. I think last time I was on, I shared a little bit of my story,
