I loved the video, as always, and shared it with my Pediatric Nurse Practitioner daughter-in-law. I do hope to see more projects on brain plasticity in older adults and Functional Medicine in general, contributed to your crowd-funding initiative to support that, and encourage others to do that too. Keep up the good work.

Many of us carry so much guilt about what has gone wrong in our lives, such as spousal abuse and divorce, but the more information about what we can do right, to the best of our abilities, is information that's personally appreciated. My children are adults now, and damage has been done, but I realize now that we did a lot that was right too to give them their best chance for a happy and purposeful life. Thanks for this. It's important information.
