study of fasting but also led to the discovery of what we call these fasting mimicking or calorie restriction mimetics so drugs that are fooling your body into thinking that you are under calorie restriction or fasting and those drugs you know some of your artists are running around starving all the time Exactly, exactly.

So, you know, metformin, I'm sure you've heard about metformin or rapamycin or calorie restriction pneumatics. So they fool your body to think that you're fasting and they induce part or all of the protective response. And this is why some of these drugs are being explored for their potential anti-aging effect. Um, there are also supplements that are emerging.

There's a, there's a process called mitochondrial biogenesis, which is the process by which you are making new mitochondria. And we know, you know, we know the pathways, the biological pathways that lead to this. Um, and, and some of them can be activated by drugs or supplements. Uh, a supplement, for example, that, uh, activates a mitochondrial function would be, um,

The urolithin A, I'm sure you've heard, a product sold byβ¦ I take it every day. Yeah, I take it every day too. And, you know, it's a supplement, so it's not going through the same process that an FDA-approved drug would be, but the company thatβ¦

you know, commercializes this called Timeline, has a very proactive approach to testing, you know, doing clinical trials and demonstrating the efficacy of what they are claiming. And we've collaborated with them, so I can attest to some of the results that we've published with them. So really interesting supplement.

And the last one, I mean, that I, you know, physical activity exercise is certainly a very strong way to activate mitochondrial function in your muscle. And we know, you know, your muscle mass is a very strong predictor of your life expectancy. So
