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.

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
