Kristel says:
I picked up a lot of tips I’d like to explore more. One was that the pancreas is both an exocrine and endocrine organ. If the pancreas is struggling with it’s exocrine function, insulin, it will also struggle with it’s exocrine function, digestive enzymes. I also want to dig more into the use of limonine and inositol. The way you modeled explaining to a pt about taking early action to prevent ;ater disease was also helpful.
