The point I'm making then is regulation, balancing our blood sugar, keeping our blood sugar under control is, while everything is important, I think that might well be perhaps the most important issue in terms of what throws the widest net, in terms of for your viewers, what they need to pay attention to, that this blood sugar regulation is in the front row.

and that we need to do everything we can getting back to diet. And I know you wanted to move past that, but I chose not to because it's so important, something we all make choices about every single day, unless we're fasting, of course. And

Everything we can with reference to diet to keep blood sugar levels under control, basically lower than they might otherwise be these days, I think is very relevant. Utilizing things like continuous glucose monitoring, checking our blood for ketones, being really aware of fructose in the diet.

So many things that influence blood sugar, our sleep patterns, our exercise patterns, sleep as we measure with our wearable devices, all of these things play into balancing blood sugar levels. And the brain is exquisitely sensitive to its provision of its fuel, which is basically glucose. And when that's compromised, when that is threatened, that really does set the stage for future decline.

I'm glad that you doubled down on the diet. I did want to cover diet. I was going to cover a few other things, but I'm glad you actually forced it in the direction that you wanted to go in because it's just another reminder that just like we say, you can't exercise your way out of a bad diet. If you're serious about brain health, you cannot approach the topic without thinking

thinking about blood sugar regulation. And I think that's an important message for our listeners. And it's a hopeful one because that's actually something that's largely in most people's control and will continue to be in their control as they start to use wearables like CGMs. And I know you're affiliated and I'm affiliated with a company that's doing some great stuff in that space.

We'll chat about them a little later on. I'm glad you doubled down because I think that is just an important thing for everybody to remember is that we're looking for sometimes the right supplement in the traditional world of medicine. It might be actually what medicines are there that you covered earlier, but it really has to come back to core blood sugar regulation.
