Yeah, it's a great point. And for some people, it'll be okay. But here's the problem. When you have any sort of dairy can produce some degree of inflammation. So if you've got someone who already has some degree of cognitive decline, or if you're trying to optimize your brain span, then you want to take that into account. You want to get rid of grains, which can damage your lining of your gut.

You want to get rid of dairy. And it's not to say you can't slowly reintroduce it in the future. But you have to remember, when you see someone who's beginning to have some cognitive decline, only one of two things will happen. Either you will help them to improve, and we've published that many times, or they will die. They will go on to develop Alzheimer's disease and pass away.

So we want to do everything possible. We want to pull out all the stops to get the optimal reversal of cognitive decline. And we were the first to publish that back in 2014.

uh and so that does we want to do everything possible that includes getting rid of some grains that includes getting rid of dairy and includes getting rid of simple carbs and then you want to have a plant-rich mildly ketogenic diet you want to have appropriate exercise as you said and just go right down the list managing stress optimizing sleep these are things that people aren't doing when i ask people you know how much did you sleep last night what did your wearable show for your sleep

They don't know. So you want to have at least seven hours of sleep at night. You want to have at least an hour and a half of REM each night. You want to have at least one hour of deep sleep each night. And you want to have an oxygen concentration saturation in your blood of at least 94 percent while you're sleeping. So many people don't have that.

So they are getting this is why the brain span in America does not equal the lifespan in America. And that's something that clearly can be improved.

Yeah, it's a great point. So there's so much now for all of these things that we know that we didn't know even just a few years ago. So as you said, HIIT, this high intensity interval training has turned out to be the one that seems to be the most effective at reducing your risk for cognitive decline. But then beyond that, there are things like Katsu bands.

These are restriction bands you can put on your arms and your legs. And what they do is they actually give you more bang for your buck because what happens, Megan, is you get different mechanisms. So when you do strength training, you are improving your insulin sensitivity, which is critical for your brain and critical for preventing cognitive decline of Alzheimer's disease.
