I always say it's much easier to be enlightened if your B12 level is normal or your thyroid's working or you're not mercury poisoned. You know, like you can meditate on it all you want, but if these things are not optimized in your biology, then your brain can't function properly and then your mood is affected and your well-being is affected and your ability to experience joy is affected. And all these things can be actually managed. And so you kind of have to work on both ends of the spectrum, you know, both your psychological patterning and your beliefs and your childhood traumas. But also, you know, we have so many people with biological things going on and function health. We, we, you know, 80 million biomarkers now and half a million people, and it's just stunning to me to see the number of people with undiagnosed things that are affecting the quality of your life. It's important to get the biological things out of the way so you can deal with the psychological things.
