But the spread around that is huge.

And with that, to me, the way that I spin that is that means that 75% of this isn't under your control.

You're gonna go in a downward trend, but you're in control of whether you're way undershooting that trend or you're way overshooting it.

What you wanna do is make your mitochondrial function as good as it can be

at any given age so that that downward trend will, you know, it'll be a lot slower.

And you can get to age 70 and you're not docked 50%, you're just docked 10%.

And I think that's what's happening when you see some of these seven-year-olds who, you know, are more fit than a lot of 25-year-olds, you know?

Well, I think that everyone has idiosyncratic things, and I think mitochondrial testing is very important.

But if I were to pick five things that just everyone should be doing for their mitochondria, a lot of it does look like health advice you might get somewhere else, but it actually is the best stuff, right?

So we mentioned creatine, and I think creatine is really important because it's not—

in the mitochondria so much as it carries forth the mitochondrial energy of the rest of the cell, but that also feeds back in the repair functions for the mitochondria.

And so I think creatine, optimizing your creatine status is super important.

And I think that...

Everyone who's not eating one or two pounds of meat per day should probably be taking creatine.

And you can think of it as if you're eating red meat and you're eating it rare, you can err on the side of one pound.

And if you're eating...

And I would include its red meat salmon, which is like a reddish fish and is actually quite high in creatine.

If you're eating white meat, white fish, and you're eating it well done, you want to err on the side of two pounds because they don't have as much creatine.

Then you cook the creatine out of them and you wind up with much lower dose.

Um, well, it's not the red color.
