I can prevent the three age-related diseases.

particularly Alzheimer's, heart disease, and cancer.

We're in a new day for this.

And people don't realize that we shouldn't have this defeatist attitude.

It's not necessarily in our genes at all.

And so I like holistic idea of treating the person, but using the tools, the science we have today.

And that is changing quickly.

And it's a combination of, you know, what were the old things that, you know, our mother would tell us about like diet and exercise and sleep.

And it's all the new things that, you know, sizing up a person's risk with AI and getting all over their risk and basically preempting and preventing disease, something we've never done before.

Yeah, I'm glad you asked that because the expense here is de minimis.

And the reason I say that is, you know, to get a whole genome sequence now can be done for less than a couple hundred dollars.

Polygenic risk score should be less than $50.

For the organ clocks, you know, it's going to be in the $100 ballpark.

For P-tau-217, similar.

All these markers are relatively inexpensive.

The only one that's

Up there, like $800, $900 are these cancer, multi-cancer early detection tests.

They're going to come down too.

The point being is, if you prevent one of these diseases, the difference in spending $100, $200 versus the treatment for these diseases, which are very expensive, if not even ineffective,

case in point, Alzheimer's.
