Well, the way we do it now is super expensive.

It's

We do these gold standard tests, take several hours, hundreds if not thousands of dollars, depends how you do it.

We, believe it or not, can do it just from a simple glucose curve.

So you may not realize that when you put one of these glucose monitors on you and you drink a shot of glucose, you'll have a curve.

And that shape is different for different people, and that depends on their subphenotype.

So meaning if your muscle is resistant, you'll have a certain shape.

And if your beta cell is a different shape and if you're a combination of things.

And there are other factors, by the way, that play in here like your microbiome.

So the gut's in your – the microbes in your gut all play in this.

And so they basically affect the shape of your curve.

And now we're not there yet, but we're good for some of these like for muscle is resistant.

We can quite accurately predict –

whether your muscles are resistant just from the shape of that glucose curve, which you can get now from an over-the-counter purchase at a drugstore.

Well, we haven't.

Taken apart for that particular study, the difference between resistance training and – there's more a general activity measurement.

So people are more active in the morning.

If they're muscle-resistant, will benefit, have better glucose levels the next day.

So we haven't yet done resistance, but I'm very interested in this.

In fact, we have a separate study around high-intensity training running versus long-distance running.
