Welcome to another episode of Revolution Health Radio. We’re going to head back to a Q&A format for a little while. As you know, if you’ve been listening to the show for a while, I like to mix it up. We’ve been doing a lot of interviews, which is great and really educational for me and hopefully for you as well. But I've been missing the Q&As and I know that some of you have as well based on the messages you sent and we’ve got a nice buildup of questions since we haven’t answered any for a while. So, I think for a little while, we’ll do some Q&As. Of course, I still may do some interviews here and there, but I think I'm going to stick with this format for a little bit. Okay, so with that in mind, I’d love to answer a question from a Reem. Let’s give it a listen. Reem: Hi,Chris. First I want to say thank you for everything that you do. You’re work has made a huge impact on my life and I honestly, truly cannot thank you enough for that. So you have my sincere gratitude. I want to ask about my dad who has been on medication for bipolar disorder for decades now. He sees a psychiatrist regularly and because of the drugs that he’s taking, he hasn’t been hospitalized in years. And we’re very thankful for these drugs for allowing him to live a normal life. At the same time, these drugs have very serious side effects and just last year he started complaining about being slow. And we didn’t really do anything about it, but it’s just gotten worse and worse. And now when you talk to him, it’s obvious that it takes him extra time to process new information and to then respond.
