I want to say something to all the medical professionals that are here today. Then I'll use Mark Hyman in closing. Dr. Mark Hyman. Dr. Mark Hyman's here. Dr. Mark Hyman. Dr. Mark Hyman. Dr. Mark Hyman. Dr. Mark Hyman. Dr. Mark Hyman, welcome. To me, this has made a massive difference. You are honestly one of my heroes. One of the most influential authoritative leaders in the doctor space. Food as medicine. So I wanted to get the leading doctor in food allergies to join us to help all of us out. Dr. Mark Hyman, best-selling author, Dr. Mark Hyman. He did amazing blood work, and he gave them their whole lives back. Our food should be more treated like medicine. Medicine never tasted so good. He's also a best-selling author. The blood sugar solution. The Daniel Plan. Food, what the heck should I eat? Food, what the heck should I cook? A number of New York Time best sellers. A number of number one New York Time best sellers. What do you want? Number 12 now. For two decades we've cultivated and developed our expertise in functional medicine and our doctors and nutritionists and our providers are leaders in the field of functional medicine. Dr. Mark Hyman believes that we all deserve a life of vitality and that we have the potential to create it for ourselves. There is something that you do every single day you eat. Food is the most powerful drug on the planet. It has the power to not only prevent disease, but to reverse disease. The way we are treating disease doesn't work. We can't just be covering over symptoms with medications. We have to understand the body is a biological system, an ecosystem. What you put on your fork is more powerful than anything you'll ever find at the bottom of a prescription bottle. Food is not just calories. Every bite of food you take is literally like instructions to control your operating system of your biology. Sugar being so detrimental. Sugar is the biggest driver of obesity, type 2 diabetes, cancer, heart disease, even dementia. That doesn't make people at least pay more attention to this issue and get mad and get fed up about it. I don't know what will. We have to use the power of functional medicine to change biological networks and the power of love and community to change our biology. What we do to our bodies we do to the planet. What we do to the planet we do to our bodies. It's time that we step up and speak and act about things that matter.
