And that was regulated by NAD.

I think a few people who listen to this know about NAD and

So NAD seems to be kind of a dial on the rate at which energy is transformed.

So interesting.

I think it's conceivable.

And there's nice data on energy expenditure.

How much energy is the body burning to go through whatever it's going through?

And again, nothing in biology is free.

That's kind of one of the basic energetic laws of life.

Everything costs energy.

And in development, you see when babies are born, they're a little hypometabolic.

They don't burn as much energy as like an adult per, you know, kilogram or pound of body weight.

But then within like a year, you see this massive increase in energy expenditure.

And then it kind of peaks around five years of age when kids are like developing so quickly.

My son is six years old and he's learning so much, changing all the time.

So energy expenditure is like...

peaks around this time.

And then by 10, 15 years old, it's around back down.

And then by 21-ish, it's adult.

And then it's a flat line for the rest of adulthood.
