0:00I kind of want to take us down a path of helping us understand food is medicine from the perspective of the mind and mental health.

0:06Because we have a serious mental health crisis now.

0:15You have a screwed up operating system that got installed.

0:17I want to talk about a new term called the flavorome.

0:20The flavorome.

0:21The gut microbiome, healthy gut bacteria or disease bacteria can actually text message your brain up the vagus nerve back to the brain.

0:28The irritable valve causes the irritable brain, not the other way around.

0:46William Lee is a renowned physician, scientist, and New York Times best-selling author whose work has transformed how we understand the connection between nutrition, disease, and the body's natural healing systems.

0:59Circadian disruption affects all of us.
