My name is Nick norwitz As you mentioned, I grew up in the Boston area, Newton, Massachusetts, little suburb outside Boston. Went to college at Dartmouth, where I studied cell bio and biochemistry before doing my PhD in metabolism at the University of Oxford. And then after I finished my PhD, I came back across the pond, back to Boston to do my medical degree at Harvard, and I'm finishing up the last months of my MD, so about to finish the whole MD PhD saga and go off into the world. And it took me 28 years to figure out what I really wanted to do in my life, but I realized I love science, the science of metabolism, teaching about the science of metabolism and really empowering people to become their own, you know, their own scientists and take control of their health and leverage the power of metabolic health to transform their lives. I've just seen it happen again and again, so many times. And if I can have an impact on the world, it will be to make metabolic health mainstream, which is going to, you know, go hand in hand with just empowering people to transform their lives through lifestyle protocols.
