Today on the root cause medicine podcast. If I see in your genomics that you are hindered on serotonin

and your estrogen is off in your blood and your gut is a wreck, guess what? I'm excited. Because

I'm like, you may be so frustrated because you don't understand why this lexapro works for you,

that you have anxiety about the fact that you got to take the lexop and you anxiety about the fact you give anxiety and taking a medicine, you're going in circles, right?
