Yeah. Yeah. I guess when people hear the word metabolism, they think about weight loss.

Right. Right. What I'm talking about is much more a biochemist definition of metabolism, which is all these enzymes. You're talking about, you know, one third of the protein encoding genome. Right. that are doing enzymatic reactions that are making proteins function. So they are producing energy. They are running neurotransmitter synthesis.

The orange, right? And then you've got the phytochemicals, right? So that would be the purples. But you really do need to get... a lot of vegetables and fruits, and then you need your protein and fiber.

When you're getting your micronutrients, you're also getting the fiber because a lot of the micronutrients are coming from plants, which are a great source of both fermentable and non-fermentable fiber. I think it's a really simple way. There's so many fad diets out there, right? Carnivore, keto, vegetarian, paleo. And I do think paleo is the closest thing to what I'm talking about.
