Patty, I'll add one thing on that too, is that one of the problems we have, right? I'll take it back to the military's mutual understanding, right? Situational understanding of these problems. And what happens is you always get these people, like I call it PhD to GED and GED to PhD, right? You have to get those two languages where there's mutual understanding. And a lot of the times your warfighters aren't going to be speaking medical language, right? And your doctors aren't going to be speaking warfighter language. So what we have to do is take those and meet in the middle somewhere. And we get people to understand, get mutual understanding. And that goes back to everything we do in the military working overseas, right? Having to be able to train your partner forces, sharing the message, getting them to understand you. So you're not forcing them to do it. They want to do it because they understand it. And that's what we did. Boone and I have been doing this our whole lives. And it's basically look at the functional medicine initiative. When we started that, there's a play off that. It's FMI, but it's also field manual individual, right? We talk about FPL, you know, Functional personalized lifestyle medicine FPL is also final protective line, right? So that's your understanding that we're trying to empower the warfighter to take ownership of their health and make it so it's so easy to understand that they can take that book and then immediately from reading that book they can start making Implementations in their life making better decisions immediately. That's huge, right? That's very impactful You don't need a PhD to do it. You don't have to take a college course. You don't need a certification It's literally, it goes back to everything we do in the military, understand the operational environment, right? And understanding the effects that has on your health, not just your mission, but we change that from mission to health. And once you can do that, people can understand how all those things in their environment are affecting them, you know, on a daily basis and just making better decisions. So say, say I'm a veteran and I'm looking in your book and what, what types of things am I going to find in there? I mean, just, Will you describe like any symptoms of traumatic brain injury? How, how much do you break everything down? Because I know some veterans, they didn't even realize that they had a brain injury and I would just have a conversation with them. And I knew instantly because I've worked with so many veterans who have brain injury, you know, there's different symptoms that they have. And so they're telling me all their problems. And I'm like, have you ever had a screening for traumatic brain injury? And they're like, well, no, what the heck is that? You know? Yeah. So how far do you go in the book of describing things? And yeah, can you go a little bit more in detail without giving everything away? Because we want people to read the book, too. No, boom, go ahead. You set up the format. Yeah, you're going to see that stuff. I think that, you know, also in not, you know, not insulting the intelligence of the of the target audience that's reading the book. guys know what PTSD is. Guys know what TBI is. And the first part of the book is I'm just telling my story. Hey, this is what happened. I couldn't figure it out. And then I did figure it out. And this was the answer. And this was the thing that worked to fix it. And there's several iterations of that, whether we're talking about traumatic brain injury, we're talking about sleep apnea, PTSD, we're talking, I mean, and all the modalities that nobody ever wants to tell you that actually work, but they actually work. And so we put all the modalities in there that actually work. And by no means, and the book is very clear about this, we're not trying to make people have our functional, personalized lifestyle. We're teaching you to build your functional, personalized lifestyle based upon the stuff you're dealing with. And you got to be honest about that stuff.
