Hey Marisa,

​

This field is so fascinating, I definitely think it is the new frontier in medicine and deserves all the attention we can give it. Soon to be physician here, I'm wondering if we have any evidence to actually recommend specific diets to improve our non-metabolic health (not talking about triglycerides and cholesterol levels), such as anxiety, depression, energy etc. It is my understanding that the enteric immune system and nervous system are integrated with our CNS. Anything exciting you can think of?

Is it tough to do what you do as an Astronaut with the enormous weight of your balls? Or does lack of gravity make this a non-issue?

What do you think the effects of a single payer healthcare system will have on the national economy?
