You're definitely going to have better long-term outcomes than for diabetes risk and things like that.

You're going to have lower HbA1c, better insulin sensitivity, lower fasting glucose.

And so I think that's sort of why that's showing up here in the actual outcomes, like you said, which

for most people, are more important than the biomarker data, probably.

I think unless you were measuring like with a continuous glucose monitor, you really wouldn't measure that.

You know, I think sometimes he's fasting.

I don't know how much stock to put in, say, like a fasting biomarker of your fasting blood glucose taken one time per year, like every single year.

Like, what does that really mean?

But now that we have access to CGMs and technology like that, I think you could actually you would actually see it in that data.

Sometimes it seems like that.

My wife will tell you maybe sometimes it seems like that.

But yeah, regarding the biomarkers of mitochondrial function, I know that's not what we're like talking about, but it is interesting to, you know, hopefully someday we have like an ability to look at, you know, a non-invasive test of say your mitochondria.

I think the best thing right now, which a lot of, which people have access to, but it's kind of

burdensome is to test your lactate during exercise or your resting lactate if your resting lactate is elevated or if you do low intensity exercise and your lactate levels are spiking up your mitochondria probably are not good that's like a poor way to describe it but either poor mitochondrial function not enough mitochondria so i think like a lactate test during exercise is probably the best way like currently non-invasively without having a muscle biopsy done but sooner or later hopefully we have some sort of biomarker to say you know what do your mitochondria look like

Yeah, for sure.

Unless you want to go get one of these huge like health panels done that cost probably several thousand dollars to do.

But I mean, honestly, like maybe maybe it doesn't matter too much, but it would be interesting for people to know, you know, does this protocol actually increase your mitochondria or not?

They do for sure.

Yeah.

Yeah.
