Ultimately, I think truth will find its path, but you need to have distribution systems to get the information out. And those are now happening. I mean, your podcast alone is an exemplar of a distribution system of a different set of principles upon which a person can operate.
I think that what I'm very excited about is a combination of AI with the data set analysis now from big data banks that start looking at wearable device information in real time, coupled with biometrics like what Function Health is doing. and then tying that together with the regenerative agriculture and planetary survival methods.
So we think that there is a system that people can participate in, that their body is getting healthy as they're helping the planet to maintain its health, that we're all part of a system because that feed-forwards the psychology of wellness. And I think there's no, let's not dismiss the sociobiology of wellness as a community process.
All these things work together to create a shift of the paradigm that can happen, I think, remarkably quickly. I mean, when I think in my life of coming down to the wall between East and West in Germany, which people thought would never happen.
All these various things can happen remarkably quickly when you get a certain critical mass of individuals who recognize that the alternatives and options are there and available for their action.
That's exactly.
I totally agree. And, you know, it's interesting. I've been criticized by some for many decades that I had this view that personalization was the future where we were heading. And everyone said, that's not scalable. That's idealistic. That'll never happen. You can't have each person treated as individuals. I'm going to stand on this concept, as you just stated.
that with these new tools, there will still be the sentient relationship between a provider and the patient, but they will have access as the super doc to all this ability to categorize and to interpolate this massive amount of data to make it accessible to personalization.
And that will become then precision personalized healthcare, of which nutrition and lifestyle will play big, important roles as we start to understand how individuals' genotypes interact with their worlds and their environments and their diets. So we're right on the threshold of that actually becoming real.
And I think those who criticized me heavily for being overly idealistic about personalization, they may have to change their position.
Well, thank you. I hope we'll share it together. All right, Jeff.
How does it work to rejuvenate your immune system? So that has been a really interesting story that's emerging because generally what scientists will do, and you know this very well, is they'll look at those hundred different phytochemicals and they'll say, which ones are doing the heavy lifting?
So they'll go and they'll find- The reductionism. Yeah, they'll find a molecule. And then they'll study the heck out of that molecule. Well, that's been done with Himalayan turd or buckwheat. We could go on the list, rutin, quercetin, diosmin, luteolin. physitin, hesperidin. These are some of the major of the 100 or so phytochemicals in Himalayan ternary buckwheat along with 2-HOPA.
And each one of those has been individually studied and has been found
individually to have effects on uh immunorejuvenation yeah by activating this process of autophagy selective to the immune system and in fact now we have see all sorts of papers being published on quercetin it's it's the darling right now and quercetin is an important member of this family so i don't want to undersell it but quercetin doesn't work the same when it's working by itself as when it works with 99 other fighters yeah it's a team it's a team effort
That's right. And so here, as we get into fractionalized foods, saying, well, let's just pull one nutrient out and then we'll make that the nutrient of the month, versus saying, no, it's the combination that makes the orchestration of the fats that's causing immunorejuvenation.
Let me say one thing to loop back to a point you made earlier, and you did so eloquently, by the way, when you were talking about the fundamental processes that people start having problems with as they get older and get more ill. One of those you mentioned was mitochondrial function, which is the energy powerhouse of the cell where our energy is produced.
Well, it turns out that our mitochondria within immune cells can undergo injury. And when they do so, that produces a senescent immune cell. So the mitochondria itself can be the seat of the initial injury that then creates the damage to the immune cell to make it senescent. Now, what do you do to get rid of bad mitochondria?
the mitochondria can rejuvenate themselves in the absence of the cell rejuvenating. The mitochondria has a life of its own within the cell. And that process is called mitophagy. It's a subset of the big process called autophagy. And it turns out that these phytochemicals that are in Tyree Buckley specifically have been found to have mitophagy influences on immune cells.
So it re-energizes the cell.
