Incredible. Amazing to see how much progress is coming on this front recently, and terrifying how much we don’t know and how crippling nausea can be. I’ve commented before on my wife’s condition and this, even just as a diagnostic tool, will prove immediately significant.

My wife’s been pregnant once, and she’s been nauseous for 3 years nonstop now - can’t keep food or drink down since a couple days after conception and it’s been tearing her mental health and our finances apart.

Amazing work by this team, and hopefully paves the way for much greatness to come.
