You know, once my daughter was born when I was 35, I, you know, thought about, hey, I gotta, you know, I'd been always interested in performance, obviously, and, you know, you mentioned it, swimming and all sorts of crazy escapades, but had never really thought about health per se.

And so I wanted to just better understand my own risk of initially cardiovascular disease, because that's the disease that runs most rampant in my family. And as I just became deeper and deeper in terms of my interest in understanding that, I wanted to start applying it to help others. And so I began to slowly sort of start working with other patients.

Because I'd never let my medical license lapse. The one thing someone gave me advice when they left, they said, hey, I know you think you're done with medicine for the rest of your life. Just take the test every two years. Keep your medical license. You'll be grateful you did, which was sage advice.

Because I think if you let the thing lapse, it can be a bit of a grind to reacquire a medical license. So that's kind of how I kind of slowly came back into it. And you have three kids? Yeah. How old are they? 16, 10, and 7.

Well, you have to make some sacrifices, right? So there are just certain things I don't do. I don't... I don't have a lot of idle time. And I think that idle time can be beneficial. I think there's value to doing nothing. And unfortunately, I don't have a lot of nothing time. I also don't have a lot of hanging out time. And it sometimes means I come across as a little bit aloof.

And when people say, hey, you want to get together? My answer is usually no. No offense, it's not you. But on the hierarchy of work and family, I just don't have the time, right? I don't... everything I do has to be somewhat measured.

And so between the time I make for exercise and hobbies and spending time with my kids and like once a month, I want to have a special day with each of my kids individually, right? Once a month? Once a month. So that means like going away, for example, like take my kid to Disneyland if that's the thing they want to do. Take my daughter... To L.A.
