Yeah, this is amazing. And I think, you know, what's so interesting about this particular food is that it has like a multi-tool, like a Swiss army knife of effects in terms of the body. And it doesn't just affect the immune system and inflammation in all the ways I describe it. It also... has incredible effects on metabolism by regulating glucose metabolism.

The fibers in it help with cholesterol metabolism, improve your HDL and lower your LDL, and helps liver fat, and modulates something called AMPK, which is a critical pathway that a lot of people are studying related to longevity. It's what I call one of the four longevity switches that everybody's studying metformin for, but there may be other ways to do that without having to take a drug.

And it has effects on the microbiome in ways that help blood sugar control. So there's so much going on there, not just the fiber in it, but also the polyphenols, which now are needed for gut microbiome health. So this is such an incredible food, and you've sort of resurrected it from basically the grave.

I have done a tremendous amount of research on it, and we'll link to all the studies that we talked about. But this is kind of a moment in history when we're finally able to sort of make sense of food as medicine, not in this abstract way,

high-level framework, but actually in a very specific way with very sophisticated testing that isn't available clinically, but is a research tool to see the impact of These molecules that we can get from our food, you can make, I make pancakes out of it, you know, muffins, but you can get the sprout powder, which sort of enhances its benefit. And I put that every day in my smoothie.

You can sprinkle it on yogurt or, you know, put it in food. It's kind of like a superfood of the superfood in a sense. Your work in this whole area, I never even heard of the word amino rejuvenation until you said it, right? And never heard of amino metabolism, but now there's published papers on it. There's a whole field of research that's looking at this.
