Um, tell us a little bit about what you're doing with Theo's Bridge Foundation and the impact you're hoping to make there.
25:06
Um, so with Theo's Voice, it, it, over time, it kind of just turned into a lot of comments and messages, um, kind of really directed about, you know, spectrum awakening and, you know, what would Dr. Skowron say about this [laughs] and this.
25:21
Like, you know, people coming to me thinking I'm a doctor, and I'm, I'm very clear with everybody, I'm, I'm so far from a doctor, um, outside of my home anyway.
25:29
And, uh, a lot of the questions were just, it's a lot of the same question.
25:33
Where do I start? How do I heal my child's gut? Where, where is the testing? And then I send them the link for the testing.
25:39
This is the testing, and they're like, "Oh my God, I, I can't afford that." And, you know, a lot of, and a l- and I hear that from a lot of people, and it, it really just, I'm like, how is that, how is this right? I just, it's something that helped Theo so much, and I've talked to hundreds of parents where that same, that same path that we went down, they went down, and they saw the same results.
26:01
Uh, like, who do we have to tell, like, this, that this is working and that it shouldn't be exclusive to people who have that, that extra money that can afford these tests? It's, so that's kind of what started in my head.
27:05
Mm-hmm.
