If you want it to run forever, you want to keep all the systems working right and in balance.

You don't let things get off too far.

And I think there's a tendency, and I think there's a problem with medicine today, we wait until things are broken and then try and fix it.

And so, obviously, what you want to do is have people as well-tuned cars for their entire life and then, you know,

pass away then.

That's how it should work.

And so I think that's what we want to do, keep people tuned.

And so we probably don't get off to a good start early in life when we start people with all these not so good diets, like all the success of processed food and sugar and losing our microbiome diversity.

I think we really want to keep our car

off and running right from the get-go.

It's a little bit late for some of us because we're probably a little bit hardwired, although I think we can tune that.

I try to do that as best I can, I guess.

Yeah.

Well, anyway, we'll do it the best we can.

Yeah, I think that would be good.

I'd love to know your microbiome.

And these are the sorts of things we're trying to sort out now.

I don't have an answer.

But I imagine the microbes you have in you, they have certain hydrolases that break down these fibers.

And everybody's microbiome is very, very different.
