All right, Stephen, so for those who don't know too much about you, let's get your full story, and I know that you had some serious health issues as a kid and that kind of probably was what led you to do what you do now or got you started.

Yeah without a dad I always tell people so I'm a board certified naturopathic doctor and again a lot of people still don't know what

that is but growing up in Medford Massachusetts there's no way you ever have an

aspiration to not even become a doctor but definitely not a natopathic doctor

so one of my big things is that you know when I was a little kid

I was like any other you know young kid wanted to be a baseball player

wanted to be maybe an archaeologist and all these different things but what

happened was at 17 years old my life

literally changed forever. At that point I woke up one morning and I knew I

immediately knew that something was wrong. So I woke up, my glands were literally swollen so so big they were large

the size of golf balls that I couldn't swallow I like legitimately couldn't

swallow didn't know what was wrong it was really really scared again scared. Again, I've been sick for many, many years before that

and got constant, you know, flus and colds and science infections.

But what happened-

Not like a serious long-term thing.

Not a serious long-term.

Just always kind of just getting sick. And it never felt like this. long term. Not a serious long term. Not a serious long term.

And it never felt like this.

So what this was was the almost inability to move your body.

So it was almost like I was frozen.

So I went to stand up because I wanted to go downstairs, tell my mom,

like there's no way I can make it to school today,
