So, Misha, I grew up in Ecuador, in the Amazon of Ecuador, the Amazonian side of Ecuador.

I came here in 2005, so 21 years ago.

I became interested in gut-brain biology because when I was in grad school, I got my PhD in nutrition.

I heard this woman in 2006 saying that after bariatric surgery, Like not only she lost 40% of body weight, her diabetes was gone, but she said that previously she had a repulsion for the yolk of the eggs.

But after the surgery, she had a craving for the yolk.

And I remember thinking that, like, you know, everybody should be studying these and it should be known.

So that's what I wanted to throw that out and just discuss what you think about that, the aspect of what do you think the lower levels know and what are the barriers to getting that information in and out? And then what are some of the technological approaches that we can take to move the needle on that stuff?

Hi, Michael.
