So when we're inhibiting glutamine and glucose, you're going to lose some weight and you're also going to lose some muscle. So we can't really start with someone that's emaciated with no muscle. There's no place to go with that. So he was really... Everything about his case was perfect for us. He hadn't had chemo radiation, so he wasn't all beat up.

He had some weight and muscle that wasn't going to hurt him to take that down a little bit. And so, yeah, he was perfect. But yes, but that's the fundamental, glucose and glutamine. And then everything else kind of stems from that.

And even we noticed with Michelle, she works out like three hours a day for the Ironman. And that will raise your blood sugar while you're doing it. And maybe after like three hours, it'll start to come down. But she might be at 60 or 70. And then when she's running, it'll be 110. And it'll stay pretty constant. And so...
