All right, Alexis, we're rolling.

I'm fascinated with this whole, like, light health mitochondria rabbit hole that I've fallen down since Jack came on here.

And I love your glasses and I love your shirt. Make mitochondria great again.

Show it off. Let's go. That's beautiful. How did you get interested in this? And like for people that

aren't aware of you, can you just like lay out, who you are in your background and health and medicine?

Yeah, sure. So I got my PhD at Princeton. I graduated in December 2021. I was there for five

and a half years. Before that, I did my bachelor's in biochemistry and math at a small school in

Lehigh Valley called Moravian College. Before that, I was actually in culinary school, and I ended

up pivoting into science after a pretty crazy LSD experience that I had. It was like my first

psychedelic experience. LSD experience. Yeah, I was like 18. Steve, timer. Sorry, he forgot to do the

timer. Oh, okay. You're good. I thought you were saying like edited it out. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Anyways, that was like a very eye- thought you were saying, like, edited out. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, definitely not.

That was like a very eye-opening experience, just like the nature of reality.

It made me really question things because, like, for example, during that experience, I saw, like, the complimentary colors really strongly.

So everything was like red and green and purple and yellow. So whatever LSC I took at that time, it was really working

on my photoreceptors and my retina. I don't know why. I never had that experience after that,

but it was just very intriguing. I was like, this is awesome. I want to learn more. And I also had that

experience at Moravian when I was visiting my best friend there. And so it really just gave me a good vibe to the school. And so I was like, I'm going to transfer there. And I ended up kind of having a knack for chemistry. So I went down chemistry route. But then I really like biochem because of the applications. And I should mention that before this, like three years prior to this, I lost 100 pounds and had like this huge weight loss journey and like health transformation. So that was also a motivating factor and kind of

pursuing biochemistry and understanding the body more. But even at that point, I didn't have an

idea about career. Like, I didn't know what I wanted to do. I kind of just always followed

whatever felt interesting to me and curious about. So I did that whole thing in Moravian. I actually

only ended up going to Princeton because it was like a
