And what should I be doing for sleep and health, sleep and nutrition?

And it's funny you bring up books.

I think, you know, I went probably 20 years where I never read any non, you know, any fictional book and said, this can't be good for my brain.

And then just consciously started, you know, reading books and reading more nonfiction books.

Listening to books or reading hard books?

Yeah, likewise.

Unfortunately, when I was an undergraduate, you know, with pre-med, they don't let you take any courses that are interesting.

So I never learned any history or, you know, all the books that I never read.

I started reading my kids, you know, English literature books that I never got a chance to and started reading history.

And so, yeah, I always felt just like just increasing knowledge was, you know, like I said, our brain just stores information.

That's one of its jobs.

So that's got to be useful.

But

But again, all of these things that I do believe help brain health, we need some way to measure it.

I think certainly if you feel healthy, that's an important thing.

If you feel like you're healthy physically or mentally, that's a good start.

But if we actually had a way to sort of track it the way we can track heart disease,

and lung disease and skin and things like that.

I think that will really boost everyone's confidence that this is really making a, making a difference.

So I don't think obviously boosting executive function is incredibly important, but I don't think it's going to happen just with technology.
