So I'm not studying NAD as a longevity molecule.

I'm studying in the context of

rare disorders to military, like operational stress, extreme environments, things like that.

But you have to do those studies and then you glean insights into that that can then translate into the world of longevity if you're showing mitochondrial enhancement and preservation.

Because as we age and we go through different stress conditions, then it's analogous to some of the things that we study.

I know there's a lot of buzz about NAD and a lot of work going on.

Some people say that with keto, right?

But I went to PubMed right before coming here.

There's 6,000 peer-reviewed publications on PubMed, and over the last year, 717 of them

And there's also 558 registered clinical trials on a ketogenic diet on clinicaltrials.gov.

I mean, you could look at CAR T therapy is something like this was like maybe four or five hundred.

I've been on top of this.

There's 40 to 50 clinical trials on psychiatric disorders.

So that includes bipolar, schizophrenia, major depression, anxiety disorders, anorexia, alcohol use disorders, alcohol withdrawal, traumatic brain injury, autism.

Well, anorexia is a psychiatric disorder.

It's the psychiatric disorder that kills more people.

So there was a number of studies.

Guido Frank, he's at University of San Francisco, I believe.

He's an expert in eating disorders, as is my colleague, Dr. Deanna Rancourt, who kind of has a peripheral interest in this.

But Dr. Guido Frank is running a study on anorexia.
