And this is equally important. As long as your brain is saying, I am being assaulted, whether it's by organisms or or inflammations or whether it's by concern that, oh, my gosh, you're going to get fired from your job or some, you know, someone's pushing you to have something do by tonight and you're you're going to be up all night working on it.

I think about, you know, all the times as an intern when I was up two and three nights in a row without any sleep whatsoever and how horrible that was for me. So that sort of thing is going to give you a problem. So managing the stress and look, check your heart rate. Heart rate variability or HRV, easy to do. And let's see how you do for your age.

And by the way, notice, you can see your heart rate variability jump two or three fold by one minute of slow, deep breathing. It's striking. So telling your amygdala, I'm not dying, I'm not under that much stress, things are gonna be okay. And yeah, short periods of stress with resolution, fine. It's that chronic, oh my God, I've got something to do every day.

and just keep going, that's a problem. Then we've got brain training, and this is Professor Mike Merzenich, who is the father of brain training, who did a great job, started Posit Neuroscience, has developed BrainHQ, and has worked with Tom Brady and so many others who want to improve. In his case, it was improve his visual field, and it has worked very well for him.

So improving your cognition and reducing risk for decline, things like brain HQ and stimulation, and by the way, other forms of stimulation, photobiomodulation, great. Things like V-Lite and Neuronic and groups like that have done a really nice job. Mild stimulation in appropriate wavelengths and with appropriate frequencies has been very successful.

Yeah, and your circadian rhythms, huge. And then there is detox. And again, you could spend a lot of time just talking about detox, but there are some basics from filtered water to your elimination, your sweating. The study that's always quoted out of Finland, people who did saunas six days a week versus those who only did them two days a week.
