Yeah. Yeah. And so I say that's low protein. So it sounds like for where you're at, that's about where you're at. But most men I know are typically in like the 200, 250 range. They have an idea that just there's no upper bound of too much protein. And so they just pound it. And so, yeah, I guess my 120 is generally speaking on the lower side of how most men think about protein consumption.
Especially with an hour every day working out. It's like a really rigorous schedule. So most people just assume you have to have more protein.

Yeah. Yeah. So we look at it. So we say like, basically you can look up blood biomarkers and say, cause once you get too much protein, it has a negative effect on the body. You can tease out those biomarkers, but then we've used MRI to say, what is my total muscle mass? What is my fat, you know, liver fat like throughout.

You can tease out those biomarkers, but then we've used MRI to say, what is my total muscle mass? What is my fat, you know, liver fat like throughout.
So for example, on my latest MRI scan, I'm in the top 1% for ideal muscle and fat. And so by every marker and then my cardiovascular fitness, I've topped 1.5% of 18 year olds. So that's the end point. So if you say, what is the protein intake? It's not solely based upon a dietary recommendation. It's like, what is happening in the body? And what is my muscle status?

What is my cardiovascular status? What is my energy? And so like, those are the end points where again, you move away from story and you move to data and let data resolve the debate.

Around 10.
Around 10.
It was like an approximate goal, but we were really trying to say, if you're taking every organ in the body, we're trying to make every organ in my body age 18. That's kind of a ridiculous idea in this moment, but it may not be in five or 10 or 15 years.

We've been successful in slowing down my speed of aging and then reversing the biological age of some of my organs, not all, like for example, my left ear. It's really this methodical progress to say, can you measure age and then move the organ back?

Yeah, we've tried to construct a perfect diet. So every single calorie I consume has a specific objective. If it doesn't achieve a goal, like we basically tried to just stack superfoods across the board. And so the nothing I eat, which is like cool or fun or culturally in, it has to have rigorous scientific evidence. And we have to measure it in the body that's actually working.

And so, yeah, I eat a lot of broccoli, cauliflower, lentils. hemp, pea protein, hemp protein, berries, nuts, seeds.
And so, yeah, I eat a lot of broccoli, cauliflower, lentils. hemp, pea protein, hemp protein, berries, nuts, seeds.
Yeah. So my first meal of the day is called super veggie and it's broccoli, cauliflower, black lentils, ginger, garlic. Yeah, that's the first meal. And the second meal is called nutty pudding, which is macadamia nuts, walnuts, flaxseed, pomegranate juice, some berries, and pea and hemp protein. And the third meal of the day varies every day.
