I think it's possible.

It's possible that is a real effect.

It is.

I think it's also possible that, okay, well, if they're early time restricted eating and they finish eating at like 1 PM and they're not eating until, you know, 8 AM the next day when they're doing a blood draw, whereas the person who is just regular eating each right before bed gets a blood draw the next day.

I think it's possible that that might explain that small difference.

Now, I could be wrong, and so there could be a small extra benefit to it.

And I think, again, that would be one where I'm like I'd like to see –

how the timing of the measurement affects it.

Right.

So I would like to see what I would like to see is somebody do a study just like that.

But when they do their final blood draw and, and blood pressure, they do the same length fasted from the day before.

Right.

So that you're equating that fasting period before those things, because again, I think, you know, blood pressure responds relatively acutely to a lot of different things.

Stress, you know, if you just ate, you'll have a higher blood pressure due to solutes in your blood.

So,

you know, I think it's possible.

And I hold open that possibility.

I think what I tell people is like, practically, it's probably very little difference.

And so I look at practically, is this something that you can implement in your life and make a lifestyle?

And if the answer is yes, by all means, it's a great tool, right?
