I think that's what I've always said for years is that disease is just the body's best ability to deal with a bad set of circumstances. Change the circumstances and the disease goes away. That's right.

So this sort of takes us to the next little portal I want to dive into, which is so high level inflammation is basically the root of all evil in terms of chronic disease. We now can measure its effects through blood biomarkers, through epigenetic testing, which measures the control system on our genes and how it's turned on or off based on different influences.

And we can then intervene with lifestyle or different foods or phytochemicals to see how the biomarkers change and how our immune age changes over time.

Yeah, so we've never really, you know, it's one thing to say, okay, I'm going to give you a drug or some food and see if it prevents a heart attack 20 years from now. But what's happening underneath is this chronic low level of inflammation, all these cytokines and inflammatory cells, chronic

going awry leading to these chronic diseases, but we're seeing those changes happen far before you might have a symptom.

Most people don't necessarily have access to full epigenetic testing and deep analysis. And your company, Big Boat Health, which has pioneered a lot of the work around immunorejuvenation, understanding immunosenescence, immunometabolism, which we're going to talk about, has done deep analysis using special chips that look at epigenetics.

This is not something you can go just get from your regular lab. It's a pretty sophisticated test. But you were sharing with me earlier that there's some surrogate blood biomarkers that you can use that we test regularly to infer what's happening at the epigenetic level. So what are those?
