We have all of these amazing pieces of knowledge about how our environment affects our happiness. There's good research and it's the best time ever to be changing the state of your brain because everything you could possibly want can be found.
And for the first time in history ever, randomized clinical trials are gold standard in medicine. We have seven, eight, nine of them around how a Mediterranean style diet can help patients, patients who have clinical depression helping more than a third of them go into full remission. Particularly, you know, the one I think you'd like is the Amend trial, which was young men with depression in Australia. 36% of them went into full remission from their depression. And it was a small trial, but great trial. And 100% of them had sun improvement. And it was only two counseling sessions. And so you see data like that and then you see it reflected on the front lines. I've got one of my young guys in New York will send me pictures when he cooks something nice for he and his girlfriend. It's really, it's fun to see how people can take these ideas, apply them into their everyday life, and then again learn some of this new science of how things like isolation and engagement and even going out in nature affect brain structure and brain function.
