squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:Thank you. Thank you for having me, Lorenz. What an introduction.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:Of course, of course. I mean, I it only right. The CEO of Humanimal and you talk about the, you know, these organ meat supplement. That's interesting to me. Well, like, like I said, before we went live, I'm on a carnivore diet and I mean, I'm not an organ guy, but I try to eat liver once in a while so I won't get deficient in nutrients. And I know the significance of organ meats. In fact I teach my clients to do a nose to tail approach when it, when it comes to the carnivore lifestyle. Your mission, driven by your story. I want to talk about that. Can you share that story and how you got into. Your lifestyle today. I know you have a such an amazing story to tell us and how you transform your, your life and then founded your company, Humanimal. Can you tell us a little bit about that story?
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:Yeah, for sure. So it's kind of a, it's kind of a long story, but we're
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:we're here for it.
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:My health journey really started when I was in high school. When I was a child, my parents divorced which was super traumatic for me. My mom wasn't really involved in my life until, My later years by later, I mean, you know, 18, 19 years old. And so throughout that period, I really turned to food as a coping mechanism. And. In addition to that, I think I probably was nutrient deficient cause I lived with my grandparents most of the time when I was a kid. So we were kind of always back and forth with prepackaged junk food, you know, some bologna, you know, everything that was just highly processed and, you know, had high sugar contents. And so into my. adolescence, I was about a hundred pounds overweight and it really caught up to me when I was in high school. And I really started feeling the effects, like the emotional effects of just being overweight. I got made fun of, which was very emotionally traumatic at that time. And so I kind of came to this point in my journey where I was like, I either do surgery To get this weight off. And, you know, my dad was like, we can do it. I want you to be happy. I want to support your journey. Or, you know, I could do it myself. And so there was something inside of me. I was there the night before this. I can't even remember some kind of gastric bypass situation, sitting in the hotel room thinking, have I really done everything that I can do? You know, truly. And I mean, I was probably 14 years old. And that was sort of like the iceberg, like the tip of the iceberg that started it off for me. So I went home, started seeing a nutritionist, went on to lose some weight, and kind of did this yo yo thing, standard American diet, standard weight loss diet. Until I started bodybuilding in 2021, well, actually 2020. And so throughout that process, I kind of honed in on my diet. My mental health still wasn't good. So part of my mental health journey is I struggled hard with dissociation. So I would pretty much, not only food was my coping mechanism, sugar specifically, but dissociation also was my coping mechanism. And so I think sugar in and of itself would make me feel something, you know? And so I was so absent and devoid of emotions that I sought out sugar to just feel comfort and feel held. And so through that period I had had some health issues going on in the background, like hypothyroidism and anxiety. And so I ended up in 2021, having a grand mal seizure in the middle of Tulum, Mexico, and was in the hospital for three or four days. And from that point, I feel like I was like, wow, nutrition system has really failed me. You know, like, in the moment I didn't know that, but now looking back, like, that was what I was feeling. And so it took me, you know, I feel like a few months to just, like, reintegrate to life. But in those few months, I really noticed This like intense craving. And when I, for the first year after my seizure, all I ate was ribeye and vanilla milkshakes. And I know that that sounds crazy, but I mean, that's all I wanted. I would not eat anything else. And I did that for that, that year or six months to a year after that seizure. And then I ended up meeting a girl in Tulum, Mexico. I know this is a long story. I apologize. I met a girl actually, sorry, in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, while I was living there and I remember seeing her face and she was just, you know, So vivacious, you know, she just had this like dewy glowy skin. And I was like, I want to be like that girl, you know? And so I ended up sitting down and having a conversation with her and she was carnivore. And so at that point it kind of started clicking, you know, I started making the connections between like, I just had this seizure. Right? Probably because I was devoid of nutrients, I was on prescription medication and all of these, like, standard American factors. And then I met this girl, and she was like, Oh, I'm carnivore, and I just eat steak all the time. And I was like, Oh my gosh, that makes so much sense. Cause I just crave steak all the time. And I did post seizure all of that time. And so she really was this turning point for me and my journey. And she came over to the house. She, we cooked together. We got, we went and picked up raw milk together and I kind of started this more animal based. I was still having fruit. At that time. And but the biggest thing that she showed me was eating organs. And so she came over and we would eat raw liver every day. And, you know, of course I thought it was gross, but I was. Also at the time progressing. So the first day I ate it, I felt okay. The second day I ate it, I was like, wow, I feel like some energy, you know? And then the third day I ate it, I started to get anxious when I took my thyroid medication and I usually would take it at night. And so I would be up like all night just with anxiety. And so finally it clicked on like the fourth or fifth day that it was my medication making me anxious. And so I started tapering down my medication and ended up getting off my thyroid meds within like a couple of weeks. I actually think it was within a week, but I don't want, I don't think anybody should, you know, just completely cut their medication off. But that was just part of my story and what my body was telling me to do in that moment. And so from that point forward, I just really knew that Oregon meets were like, so powerful, you know? And so even after, even after that, not only did my physical health improve, but like my mental health, I started connecting with people again. I could produce tears again. I could, you know what I mean? I could like live in the world and be happy.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:No, I actually had a major depression like six, seven years ago and when keto, it got better. But then when I went carnivore last year symptoms of depression all went away. So I, that's actually why I started the The podcast is because I want to reach out to people cause I don't really, I don't want to go on Google, you know, just researching stuff. I know there's a lot of misinformation out there, but no just connecting with people like you that had the same, you know, success story that I did. is really, you know, validating for me. Also what, what I want to ask you about when you said you said it made sense when, when you were craving steak at that time, what did you mean by that? I thought maybe I missed something.
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:Oh no. So the, the girl who was carnivore that kind of introduced me to the lifestyle. She, when she kind of started talking about what it is that she ate, which was basically at that time, raw milk and steak. And in my head, it, it just kind of clicked for me. I was like, Oh, it was never the sugar. It was the dairy and the steak.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:Yeah.
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:You know, my body was just craving it. Like I, I really wouldn't eat anything else. For at least six months and I think I maybe started slowly incorporating a couple of other things But that's like kind of when the I guess you know There's always this time in your journey and I'm sure you have had many of these moments where it's like this huh. It finally clicked moment or you hear a piece of information and you're like, Oh my gosh, that is it, you know? And so that was definitely one of the feelings that I had in that moment.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:Yeah. And it feels like when you, you know, I always talk to people about this when, when they say, Hey, you know, your diet's very restrictive. Yeah. Well, a lot of people who are on carnivore or keto diet, you know, if you're in ketosis, a lot of these people have suffered and had been failed by the conventional medical system, the traditional medical system, conventional way of treating disease, they've been failed and You know, like in your experience, you, you're lucky that you found somebody you connected with and, you know, her story resonated with you and it's the right timing that you absorb that information and sometimes it's the collection of those variables that You know, suddenly it clicks, right? And it seems like you have that same that same you know, epiphany for lack of a better term, right? It's, it's, it's, it feels that way, right?
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:yeah. No, it truly does. And, you know, there have been so many times throughout my journey that I, I have just thought to myself, like, Oh, this isn't working for me. Or, you know, and I feel like that's, some of it's food patterns from the past, some of it's just, you know, modeled behavior that you, You know, aren't real, like really willing to give up yet. And some of it is, you know, just like, I think your brain holds you back. Right. Like there are some just thought patterns that you can't get past, whether it's anxiety, depression. So, you know, if you're highly anxious, maybe like something's off or when you're depressed, it's like, Oh no, you know, Nobody's going to love you if you don't, like, you know, if you don't eat the cake at the family get together, you know, your mom's, you know, whatever it is. But you know, like I, I look back and I'm so grateful that I never quit.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:Yeah, no, absolutely. And again, you had that perfect moment when you're ready to, you know, Absorb that information because, you know, if any other time you met that girl and, you know, it wasn't the right timing, you wouldn't be able to, you know, process that, right? You would be, Hey, what, what the hell is the carnivore diet? Right? I mean, that's so restrictive. Like, why would people do that? Right. And for people, for us in it, it's freedom, right? It's not, it's not about restriction. And if you're somebody who. You know, got off medications or, you know, the relief symptoms of depression, depression can be really debilitating, right? You can't get out of the house. You're, it's just these you know, intense, irrational fear. Sometimes my experience, irrational fear, I couldn't even get out of the house six years ago, seven years ago, I was just this fear, right? But then you, you don't think that it would be the food that you're eating, right? And for you, it started with the environment too, like everyone else, it starts with the environment. And when, looking back now, we can say we were, we were trapped, right? We, you know, obviously you can't pick, you know, the people around you, your environment. That's why when you look at people now and they're suffering, you see them suffering. But it's, it's literally staring them in their face. It's really, really right in front of them and what's, you know, really causing the issues for them, but then they fail to realize it. And they're not ready to accept that information. It's really hard for, for, for me to look at these people and can't even do anything. All you can do is just when they ask you, Hey, yeah, this is what I did. And I, you know, I relieved my symptoms of depression and that's really all you can do. You can't really push you know, tell people what to do, right? At the end of the day, you know, again, if, if they, if they, if they're not ready, they're not ready. I love that. Hang on one second.
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:Oh, you're fine.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:Yeah. So, I want to talk to you about the raw beef organ. How, how, you know, how did you incorporate raw beef organs in that, into your diet and how did that, I know you talked about this a little bit. How did that act exactly. Impact your physical health?
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:So when I incorporated the raw beef organs, like I had said previously, I ended up getting off all of my medication, which was sublime. And then physically I just noticed that I had far more energy. You know, I didn't have those crashes in the afternoon. I feel like that are really common. I could just go all day. And as a person who has also struggled with ADHD you know, it felt like. Before the organs, it felt like my ADHD and my body were like fighting against one another because I was never able to actually be present in the moment and do the things that even my ADHD wanted to. Like, even if I had to, You know, cycle through that and like take control of that. I truly believe ADHD is a superpower, but if I, it was like my body refused to do anything my ADHD wanted to do or succeed at. And so something that I noticed was, I have tried to build a business multiple times and either one, I don't find something that I'm passionate about or two, I burn out after a month of planning. I'm like nah, you know? And so what I noticed, I think initially in it was kind of physical and mental, but was when I started working on my beef organ supplement line, I did not stop. And I have not stopped since the day that I started.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:Mm,
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:And that was the very first thing that I tried to do after, you know, going to, On this journey and incorporating the beef organs. And so, you know, physically, I think I was finally feeling so good that I was able to do what I needed to do and like focus and continue to prioritize my health and wellbeing because I was nourished, right? I made better choices. And I know some of those things aren't necessarily physical, but I think they are certainly. Important in the journey.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:Yeah, I know. It's, it's it's an amazing thing. It's like a superpower. It's like a light bulb that turns on right. And you communicate really well that you know, energy actually, you know, you get a lot of energy. And, you know, when I transitioned to the keto and carnivore diet, I didn't know what to do with the energy. Right. I, I also built businesses that that's thriving today. And, you know, I can't imagine myself doing it you know, years ago. Right. But now it's it's just amazing that what, you know, Eating the right foods can do for you. I want to ask you about, you know, obviously This is before you're you're founding your company. How do you communicate this with others? Like I mean the potential benefits are life changing and we know this but for some people they don't know that What's your approach when you when ask about this or do they ever the
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:mean, I feel like my, yeah, I feel like my approach when people ask about this is more. It, I mean, it's gentle, right? Like a lot of people, they don't know anything about this and organs seem like a foreign topic or subject of conversation. So I think something that I really try to do is take them on a small journey throughout history and just let them know that we have been eating. Nose to tail for much longer than we have not been. And that, you know, it used to be so important to eat the whole animal, because if not the village would starve, what else would they eat?
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:Yeah
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:And so I think I, yeah, I think I try to walk people through the history behind beef organs and, you know, let them know that it's, it's normal to eat. And especially. You know, what, what feels in your heart, like more natural and more normal, you know, as lab synthesized vitamin, you know, so in my head, I'm picturing sterile environment, people in lab coats with their little masks on waiting for something to blow up all to make vitamin B12, you know, whereas. An organ, you know, organ meats in a capsule. Like I picture a cow out grazing on a farm. You know, the, and then it, you know, yes, it went through the slaughter process and it, you know, lived on a grass fed grass finished farm. It's whole life had great energy. And, you know, now it's made its way into a capsule. It's been one step, you know, not, not 977 from,
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:it makes sense. It makes sense. Yeah. You know, it's, it's a, you know, I could feel that you have that, you talked about, you know, with your other businesses, nothing really clicked. And I believe maybe it's the, you know, your, your journey, your story that fuels it. Right. I can, I can sense it in your now, how we, the way you talk and the way you told your story, it's just, you know, really inspiring. You're inspiring for a lot of people.
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:Thank you.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:Yeah. Oh, I want to transition to, you know, your personal wellness journey to founding Humanimal. Was there any particular, you know, moment or, or realization that's, you know, sparked that decision, starting your own company? Yeah.
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:think honestly, when I.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:when,
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:where I was. I'm pretty sure I was in Vienna, Austria, and I had sort of, I, I told you a little bit about struggling with ADHD, and so at that time I was kind of like, I really need to get, like, my thoughts together, you know, like I need to, I need to calm down. My mind and just get it together. And so I ended up getting this small black journal that I kept in my fanny pack all the time. And so every time I would have a thought about something, I would just write it down. And when I started doing that, it's kind of like I started to see the patterns in my thoughts. And one of those patterns, not, not patterns, but like one of those voices that came through really strong was, you need to share this with people. You know, in a way that's bigger than even your story, you know, you need to be able to give somebody something that's going to change their life, you know? And so that's kind of where like the beef organs were born. And cause that, like for me, that was the thing, you know, after all of these years, I've been on a million different diets and I've tried a million different things. And I finally found the one thing that worked for me, you know, that, that broke through that barrier and was like, okay, you can do this. This is good. Like this works. And so that was kind of, that was kind of how Humanimals started. And I literally, I started this whole company with, you know, a few dollars and some Fiverr contractors. And, you know, we've grown and, and we've done well. And it's, it's been beautiful.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:I believe that when there's that story behind it and that passion And that you really want to help people. It usually goes well. Amazing. I felt that I felt that one.
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:I
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:what do you think now separates humanimal products apart from other organ supplements company? Yeah.
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:think for one, our quality is I am OCD. At the, at the least about, you know, what quality goes into my body, like what is going into my body. So, you know, a lot of supplement brands out there will use something like a capsule that's made of some synthetic
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:Yeah. Some companies, some companies wouldn't even touch their own products. Right.
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:Right. Right. And so for us, sourced from New Zealand and, you know, we believe that it is, The highest quality organ meat that you could get anywhere, you know, I mean, maybe aside from if you had a regeneratively farmed
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:Why New Zealand?
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:local butcher. So New Zealand has the highest cattle standards in the world. I use this example all the time I was trying to, so I was working with a marketing company in the UK and I tried to send my product over to them and they wouldn't accept it because they thought it was American beef. So. I thought that was really interesting. And I ended up talking to somebody at the USDA and, you know, we see all these memes about the ingredients, you know, from like the UK version of Oreos versus American version of Oreos. And like, it's a night and day difference, but you wouldn't even think to think that about beef. And so I've sat there and listened to this girl from the USDA asked me, Why are you not using American beef? And I'm like, why would I use American beef if the UK won't even allow it in their territory? And so, that's one reason. And, and that sealed the deal for me for using New Zealand beef, period.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:Cause I, I, go ahead, go ahead.
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:no, no, go
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:Yeah. I heard something about, you know, you don't even label their meat grass fed because you know, duh, it's everything's grass fed here. Is that true?
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:Yes. If you go to the grocery store, And something says, you know, it's from New Zealand or it's from Australia. It is all, it's automatically grass fed and grass finished. And so, yeah, so that, I mean, that's always something good to look for in the grocery store, but you know, a lot of, we don't get a lot of meat from there.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:Go ahead. You were going to say something.
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:Honestly can't remember at
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:That's okay. I'm sorry for cutting you off, but
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:Oh, you're so
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:yeah I want to talk about the benefits. So let's go to the specific you know, the perks of, you know, taking organ meats it's a. You can take this as a sole supplement, right? Just the only supplement there. Because it's nutrient dense, it's bioavailable. Meaning, you know, it's absorbed by the body, like, as opposed to, like, you know, a superfood like kale, for example, only a fraction will be absorbed by the body. So, is it really nutrient dense? Right. We know it's nutrient dense and, but you listed some of these specific benefits here. You said, you know, nervous system support, mood regulation cognitive health. And I know this for a fact, you know, as people age, like these are the usual problems that arise in these individuals, right? What is the supplement actually doing? That's so good. For this specific health issues.
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:I think something that a lot of people and like the health and wellness industry is coming around, but the gut brain access or the connection between your gut and your brain is It's basically the first domino, right? It starts the entire effect of what the food that you eat does to your body. And so when you understand that it being the very first domino, you can kind of see where There are certain nutrients, micronutrients required for all processes across the board, whether that's immunity, mood health, cognitive well being emotional health. Like there are all these different things going on, but we focus specifically, you know, on mood health, but the benefits are far past that. But, you know, we focus on that because that's our passion. And that's what we want people to, we want people to feel better. But with all of that being said, there's a certain subset of micronutrients required for the production of neurotransmitters. And so neurotransmitters are those feel good chemicals that, you know, make you happy, you know, help you remember things. And for each one of those neurotransmitters, there's a specific set of micronutrients required to create that neurotransmitter. And it all starts in the gut. And it has to, so it requires these nutrients. I think it's like 50 percent of your production of serotonin is in the gut. And so, As soon as you eat, your, your stomach starts sending all these signals to your brain and your brain starts talking to your stomach about like, what are we going to cook up today? And so if you do not have the subset of micronutrients required to create these neurotransmitters, I think that's when you get to start seeing mood health issues, cognitive issues, and memory issues, specifically even hormonal imbalances, immunity issues this inability to fight off infections like in the gut, whether that's parasitic, fungus, or anything like that. And with beef organs, they are the only food source that I have found that have All the amino acids, enzymes, and vitamins and minerals required for this neurotransmitter synthesis. And, I say that because micronutrients is kind of a broad term. And I think when people hear micronutrients, you know, macronutrients versus micronutrients, people always assume that micronutrients are just vitamins and minerals like magnesium and selenium and vitamin B and vitamin D and You know, all of these very common vitamin A's, whatever. But that's not true. Micronutrients include other things like enzymes and amino acids. And so this production of neurotransmitters, and I would especially say this is probably problematic on a vegan diet you can't get that subset at the same time to create the neurotransmitters that you need.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:Hmm.
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:So, in a nutshell, that's kind of, that's kind of why we, that's kind of the assumption that we landed on and the hill that we will die on at Humanimal, is that beef organs have the only, they are the only nutrient profile with enough iron, amino acids and other micronutrients required for neurotransmitter processes. to even begin to heal mood, mental, and cognitive well being.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:Hmm. Also, especially when you're on a carnivore diet, you can be very nutrient deficient. That's why you gotta take the nose to tail approach. But if you don't like organ meat, right, you can take a supplement. Yeah.
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:I sometimes get asked why our products are so expensive. And I'm like, Well, I If you go to, I can't even think of a, I know there are tons of regenerative farms that have online stores and they sell their liver for like, I don't know, 16 a pound. And there are, you know, three pounds. Sometimes almost up to four in a bottle of our supplements. And so when you really think about it, I mean, it can be a cheaper option and plus you don't really need. So a lot of people think, Oh, I need to incorporate organ meats. I need to have a serving of liver a day. Not necessarily, you know, it's really a smaller number. Some people can do good on a quarter of an ounce a day. Some people can do good on an ounce a day. And it varies all in between. And so it really is just cheaper and more convenient to take them with a supplement.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:And I don't care. People charge more than for a whole lot of nothing to like some people.
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:Yeah.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:And here you're, you're, you're getting your life back. You know, a lot of people get their life back and it's that's why when people come to me, Hey, Karma or diet is, is expensive or, you know, rib eyes expensive or meat organs expensive. Well, I mean, I mean, It means that you're not ready to receive this information. Maybe wait a little, a little bit more. You know, some people get awakened by, you know, a diagnosis or, you know, if conventional medicine doesn't work for them, they, you know, go the alternative way. And then they find out, hey, it was the organ meat. that will help me after all. Right. So, if you're getting your life back, if you're getting, you know, there's freedom, right? It's not about if you cut out the junk, if you cut out everything else, it offsets, right? You're not eating out. You're not, you know, buying deliveries, you know, and you're just eating at home, having great quality meat, getting some organs, you know, you know, maybe, or maybe you can take supplements. What are your ass
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:Well, and really with the carnivore diet, you don't even need, I mean, you know, I suggest that everyone eats organ meats period. But you're really not, you don't really need to supplement with anything else. I mean, maybe some mineral drops to remineralize your water, which are, you know, 20 bucks on Amazon. So when you look at a, like a standard American diet and all the things you have to supplement with, you know, it may be you 500 a month for groceries for an individual, but then you have to have. 200 a month of supplements to even begin to offset the deficiency.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:and you can tell right away. If you're, if you think that it's not doing anything for you, then don't buy it, right? But, well, try it at least, right? When you try it, usually, you know, you feel a lot better. You know, you know, most people on the keto or carnivore diet, they're really connected with their body and what they're feeling. When they eat something, they know, if, you know, if it's laced with something or whatnot.
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:Yeah.
lorenz-_1_03-05-2024_120429:But if you're, that's the next step, right? If you're on a carnivore diet, the next step is to Really supplement with make sure you're not deficient with anything, right? That's amazing I want to ask you what's your aspirations for? Humanimal what are you trying to achieve here? Yeah
squadcaster-h0c7_1_03-05-2024_110429:You know, I think that I might be the first business owner ever to not really, I mean, I, you know, I care about making a living and living the life that I want, but I truly want humanimal to be a safe space for people who have been struggling for so long because I know that I was one of them. And it doesn't feel good to do it alone. And so I, I think that's where I see humanimal going. We're about to open up a, like 30 days to a more nourished you program where it's kind of just a series of text messages that you will get over the month. About like little tweaks that you can make in your routine to like move to a more nourished lifestyle. And I also think that. You know, we're more women focused simply because I feel like women often get tossed to the side when it comes to, you know, solutions. And I feel like we are the ones that, and I'm not saying, it's not a contest, but I do feel like Women unnecessarily struggle with things like period pain and infertility, like, on top of mental health issues. And it's all connected. But I think that that's, like, something that's, like, on our big to do list is also approaching. We're very satire, like, satirical, I think is how you say that word. Yeah. And, like, we do that on purpose because I feel like humor through my journey has been one of the only reasons that I've made it up on the other side. And so, we do our best to keep things super light hearted and, like, loving and funny when we can on purpose. I mean, it, you know, it comes pretty natural because I'm a pretty goofy. But just so that people have a true, you know, like safe space where they can come and they can be themselves and they can bring their problems, but they can see them in a lighthearted way and even humorous, you know, to just try to acknowledge them and move through them. And, you know, healing isn't easy for everyone. And so, yeah, I think that's where I really see Humanimal going is just being a bigger part. Of other people's stories. One of our little taglines is real people, real stories, real food.
