Hey Sol. Now that you're moving into the range of revenue that you might be able to invest, do you or Kurtis have any designs around conducting your own research?

Maybe there's a supplement or interaction that you think might be interesting but can't find any solid research on?

Maybe there's something that has weak evidence / poor experimental design that you'd just like to get to the bottom of?

Not sure how you'd turn that into real money, but maybe there's stuff that just "gives you an itch"?

We _may_ eventually start looking into doing our own original research, but at this time, zero plans.

We do have plans to start publishing some of our research as meta-reviews, but give us a bit of time on that.

Honestly, not concerned about that. That's the benefits of a lifestyle business - we're (quite) cashflow positive, so we don't obsess over a thousand here or there. It's just to get really solid research (especially in nutrition) is quite cost prohibitive. Maybe in the future we can be involved in some grants and study design, but nothing concrete.
