That probably comes from somebody who’s privileged and understands healthy eating. For a lot of people, they’re still going to need education. We’re now able to address the hungry gut through the medications, but still the part that is missing is the hungry brain.

Those are all going to be important to the medications working well long term.
I often ask technologists this: A lot of these innovations, as exciting as they are, are predicated on the idea that most of them will be used for good.

They think they’re lazy. That’s it.
