I mean, what what brought you to this space to, you know, to be a gout expert?   Spiro  01:28 Well, I'm basically a patient been suffering with guilt since the age of mid 20s 2526 years old. And my story goes, one night, I was out drinking, being young, I was at the bar drinking a lot of whiskey that night, went home. And around 3am, I got struck by a gout attack in the big toe. It was very painful. I thought I had broken something down there, maybe. And so I basically went to the doctor the next day. And the doctor quickly diagnosed me as having helped, I didn't understand what that medical term was like, What is gout, they says it's something that you get, usually it's for life. And I confirm that by doing blood work. And basically, my uric acid was very high. So he told me, you would have to go on medication for the rest of your life. And that was very hard to a hard pill to swallow. Right. So I remember that first attack lasted maybe about three weeks. So it was very difficult to go to work, to chores and stuff like that. And basically, that's where it started. And then I want to learn more about the disease. So as I was doing research on Google, it couldn't find good patient information that was just medical jargon. So I decided to create a blog and explain the disease and what affects it, and what can help it. And basically, I took a deep dive into what foods you can eat, what foods you should avoid. And that's what my website got into conferences. So basically, it's a lot of helpful articles about diet tips, advice on lifestyle changes, and so on. And here we are today.   Roy Barker  03:24 Interesting. So if you don't mind, and this is for me, I'm sure. I'm sure a lot of people out there understand.

    Nutritional Neuroscience Used To Support Mental Well Being and Brain Function Featuring Delia McCabe There is an old saying we are what we eat. It's become even clearer through nutritional Neuroscience. What we eat is related to our body's health, our mental well-being, and our brain health.

And many of them were doing poorly at school. You know, the kind of kids that parents and teachers are desperate about. They say, oh, my goodness, this child has got so much potential and I wasted.   So I was developing question is because I was looking at the psychological variables that underpinned the underachievement.

The oneness with nature that Dr. Vorderbruggen has known since childhood is the foundation of who he is today. He has a master's in medicinal chemistry. his PhD is in physical and organic chemistry. He is the author of the Idiot's Guide to foraging is nationally recognized foraging and herbalist instructor and creator of foraging Texas, and I could go on and on and on. And, uh, but I want you to jump in here. I want you left off. You left off medicine man. That's the one that yes, and he is the herbs, the chemist herbal formulator for medicine man plant company, Merriwether. Thank you for being here. We're so happy to have you. We had you as a guest on our nutrition show. And today. It's exciting that we're going to talk about the aging factor and foraging.   Merriwether  01:57 Yes. And as I'm you know, approaching old age it's it's it's been something near and dear to my own heart and my own health. So, yeah, yeah,   Roy Barker  02:05 yeah. Thanks so much. And I guess what, you know, when we talked about this, and when we talked to you earlier, it just never really dawned on me about how good this would be, you know, for this show. But I think what's, what sparked it was you had a, you've got a new blood pressure mix that's coming out pretty soon. And so, you know, probably what a lot of us need.   Merriwether  02:28 Yeah, so the blood pressure pill, it's actually available now for medicine men plant co.com and via Amazon. So. And like I said, the whole thing is ancient plants for modern issues. And a lot of the health issues that we suffer from today. Whether it be young or getting up in age, a lot of it is due to lifestyle issues because we are maladapted. For this modern world, our bodies are still the bodies of caveman and cavewoman and are designed for the lives they left which we are no longer living,   Roy Barker  02:59 right. Yeah, we were talking the other day about even how our not only our bodies change, but also, I guess, because when we're young and probably a little stronger and a little healthier, our bodies can tolerate a little bit more abuse than once we get older. And so, you know, when things start going wrong, we really need to look at that nutrition and see, you know, what are we doing, you know, kind of sometimes even maybe backing everything out and starting over. But then also, you know, getting closer to the ...

Yeah.   Roy Barker  01:22 So tell us a little bit about about your new book. Well, first off, tell us about your journey just a little bit, you know, how did you get here? And what was able to give you the the time, the energy, I would say that the energy, you know, to, to write a book. And you know, the other thing is, you know, overcoming that page, you know, the blank page that typically mocks you or I don't know, I get so excited I got I'm gonna write something get down and get maybe three sentences like who were at all heard all those great ideas. I have go to delve a little bit about that journey.   Richard  01:57 I cheated.   Terry  02:00 All right, there we go.   Richard  02:01 So I never had to face a blank page. Well, how can you write a book without having a blank page? You interview people, and you get transcripts? So I interviewed about 75 people. They told some amazing stories. I intentionally let them talk. I didn't lead the witness. I'd ask questions like, Oh, really? Oh, tell me more. Oh, why is that? And so they went on and on and on. And at the end of the interviews, I had 800 pages of transcripts. Wow.   So I never faced a blank page, what I faced was too many pages that I had to now cut down to one of the really great stories. But backing up. Yes, I did cheat on this. But it still was a lot of work. I never had that kind of writer's block experience. But I had a lot of other challenges along the way. But some of my friends had told me some stories about what they were doing. And things people I'd known for quite a long time. And I didn't know you were doing that. That's really cool. One of my buddies had been in the Senior Olympics, and then won medals, and had been too modest to tell me about it.   Once he opened up on the story, it was an amazing story. And this guy, he was into fitness. And he was in several different events. And it was just a fascinating story. Over the next couple of weeks after that, I heard a couple of other friends tell me something interesting they had done. I, at one point, had this kind of eureka moment of saying these stories are terrific. They need to be told. And I'm in the ideal position to do that. I had recently retired, I had the time to do it, I had the interest to do it. And the question was, was there enough material out there to do it with and that turned out to to be the easiest part of all, having plenty of material was was really easy.   Terry  04:09...
