But yeah, so just try to avoid plastic as a water bottle generally. And the thing is, on a bigger scale, the things which we can't see are now humanity's biggest threats. We're evolved to say, is there a lion in the bush or not?

know we can we sense it can we smell it can we see it whereas now the dangers of like co2 build up in the atmosphere we can't see it we can't smell it like we don't we don't know it exists so the only thing we know how it exists is we see a like a number on a screen that's like this is bad because this number we're like what does that mean we can't see it there's no real threat the same issue with microplastics it's like this unknown threat we can't see it we can't feel it

And so that's why like what I've been doing is I've been trying to say like, we, the reason why we measure everything is to basically give your body superpowers of awareness. It's like, now we understand like what's happening when you ingest fast food. We understand what happens when you ingest microplastics.

It's like, now we understand like what's happening when you ingest fast food. We understand what happens when you ingest microplastics.
What happens when you ingest, when you don't sleep well, like you see the whole system effect. And so it's really cool in real time to see like, actually, yes, like for example, one night of bad sleep is, can, I think it's four hours or less, reduces your NK cells by 70%. Your NK cells are what's killing cancer cells.

So like your army of defense systems, like 70% of your army is wiped out after one bad night of sleep. And so it just has these really catastrophic effects.

Yeah, yeah. Or like there's this thing called S- And so you want these levels to be like in between 20 and 100, mine are 63.8. When you don't sleep well, it's a toxin that gets inside the brain because the blood-brain barrier breaks down. When you have a bad night's sleep, it's the same level as a traumatic brain injury.

And so like the body's responding as though you had a traumatic brain injury from one bad night sleep. So these things accumulate over time and that's why it's a sleep is so critical. It's why this culture of entrepreneurship is like, Oh, sleep on your dad is so lethal to your wellness.

Yeah. IQR.
Yeah. IQR.
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, on the air pollution, I agree with you. I live in LA as well. So I have a air measurement device in every room of my house and filters. And so we measure the air quality in every single room 24-7. So you're right, like LA air quality is typically around the 60 mark, which is like... kind of bad. But in my house, it's perfect. It's zero.

And so I'm always aware of where the air quality is outside and inside. So yeah, I wish LA had better air quality. I love LA for so many reasons. I really wish the air quality was better. But yeah, I agree with you. It is a significant health threat. And it's not a good idea to have a lot of exposure to bad air.
