And on the other hand, we're seeing an overactive immune system. So we're seeing both these under and overactive immune systems that seem to accelerate inflammation even more.
So what's really exciting is that we're now understanding how to intervene in this.

You know, you hear people, I want to boost my immune system, or my immune system's not working, or I'm like chronically ill, infections, I have a suppressed immune system. You know, there's something to all that, right? And I think, you know, we understand how the system works now. We understand what influences it, what harms it.

And it's the litany of things in modern civilization that are killing us all, right? The diet, the stress, the toxins, all the things we talked about, the increase in certain infections. And now we can intervene. So the question is, how do we start to think about this idea of immunorejuvenation to kind of reset our immune system?

Now, I want to say... So the key to unlocking healthy aging is to understand how to properly interact with our immune system.

And that's really predicted based on epigenetic testing of the expression of your genes and which genes are turned on or off in your immune system. And that's what we're doing now.

So basically the colorful compounds in foods, what we call phytochemicals, are part of a strategy to rejuvenate your immune system.

And those are plant medicines. They're things that actually the plants use for their own defense, but that we've evolved, co-evolved with, that actually regulate our biology in very specific ways and targeted pathways that we now understand.
