You know, we get into the amount of protein you need to eat and the amount of fiber and, you know, it becomes a big conversation.

But I think we want to start and meet someone where they are.

And sometimes that just means stop snacking, right?

And stop eating like sugary treats.

So eating smart is one of those five things.

The third thing is to not smoke stuff.

And as I mentioned, if you smoke, you double your risk to develop MS.

And if you have MS, you can speed it up by 50%.

And so not smoking is one of the biggest impactful things you can do to slow the disease down.

Now, behind that is a really big conversation about other cardiovascular risk factors, but not smoking stuff is one of them.

And I say smoking stuff because I think smoking cannabis is, for very similar reasons, not so good for you because of the pro-inflammatory nature of sucking in carbon-based smoke.

Now, number four is the daily practice of mindfulness.

And there's so many different ways to be mindful.

And we just need to find one that doesn't suck.

And we need to just try to practice doing it.

So I shared with you that I have a lifestyle of showering.

In the pandemic, I added something.

When I'm done showering, I sit in the shower, cross my legs, I close my eyes, and I just breathe.

And at first, I sucked at it.

I would be like, Boster, get up.
