Does it change the overall diet?
Everybody would say no, right?
Like one – if you eat like junk most times but you have one healthy meal, it's going to do very little, right?
So why do we think it goes the opposite direction where like you have one unhealthy meal.
All of a sudden you've just undone everything you've ever done, right?

I think that is the biggest stumbling block is we have a lot of people who just really are afraid to try and fail and just get into execution mode.
And I think one of the most liberating things for me is
was that background in being a competitor and failing a lot.
It just got me over the like, oh, this is just part of it.
Like from doing a PhD, I'm sure you had plenty of stuff that just didn't work.
You know, like the number of experiments I came home with tears in my eyes because I couldn't even get the analysis to work.
Like I spent probably a year and a half going through every step of our analysis of muscle protein synthesis because I wasn't getting any data back.
Trying to figure out where is the kink in this chain?
for those who aren't familiar, like muscle protein synthesis to, to do like 50 samples probably takes you a week to get actual data back because you're
You're grinding frozen tissue, frozen liquid nitrogen, and you've got to keep it on a liquid nitrogen the whole time.
Like doing just 20 samples of that probably takes four hours.
Then you've got to homogenize the tissue.
Then you've got to separate it.
You've got to take it through various reactions.
