Yeah, you know, I'm glad you brought that up. And diving into the science just a little bit, I mean, the microbiome, which is connected to every organ system in our body, and you've talked about it extensively on this show, is... critical in both the development and the function of our immune system.

I mean, if you're born with a sterile gut, you're immunodeficient, and we know that from animal models, we know it from people. we know a lot about and you just i you've had dr hazen on the shows studied this in the most you know robust scientific way possible um you know we know what a healthy microbiome kind of looks like you know diverse and rich

You know, we've yet to dial it in to this organism, that organism. So, you know, we know that good diets that people that eat real food, you know, usually have a more diverse and rich microbiome, and that supports immunologic health. I'm reluctant to tell people, you know, Carl Sagan used to say that extraordinary claims require extraordinary data.

And so we don't know how to reduce it to that crystallized, eat this, do this, one thing. It's probably much more complicated than that. But we do know that prudent diets versus sad diets have a huge effect on humans.

Absolutely. Yeah.
Absolutely. Yeah.
Absolutely. Yeah.
So the next topic would be, you said exercise. Exercise. So I've been interested in exercise and immunity for decades. Decades, actually, probably one of the first areas of behavior and immunity that I became interested in. And it's a it's a it's a complex area to talk. So over the past many years, I try to invite world leaders in all of these areas to my center to visit.

And last year we had David Neiman, who is one of the leaders. undisputed leaders in this field. And, you know, I do believe in what we call the J curve of exercise, that people who are sedentary, people who are sedentary are immunocompromised.
