Right. Exactly. Or more.

I don't, you know, I don't, I could say a couple decades I could see for sure. Like, because things are really growing. Things are growing. And then gene engineering, you know, there's a lot of exponential growth in some of this synthetic biology world where they're, you know, doing all this gene engineering and it's like, they're just really kind of, like, it's kind of

I am very cautious when it comes to some of that stuff. So, but it's not that I don't think some of it works. Also, I just, you know, I'm a little bit of a scaredy cat, but I stick with the exercise. I'm just researching.

Yeah. And so those are the big things. And, you know, to kind of maybe go back to your question, I would say that, you know, I used to think that, you know, limiting protein was probably like, oh, you're better off being more plant-based. Now, I think exercise is the king. I think exercise is the longevity drug that if you could pill it up, we'd all be taking it. We all should be taking it.

And I think that the protein is important for fueling our muscles, for improving muscle mass, and for... repair as well. And so that would be a bigger thing. And also like, you know, intermittent fasting as well. I still try and I still think that it's important to do a type of it, time-restricted eating.

Yeah, I don't know exactly what endpoints that he was talking about, but I think the way I sort of think about it is you want to have a fasting period while you're sleeping because if the repair processes that we were talking about to kind of go back to the start of this podcast is that we were talking about your DNA is repaired when you're sleeping.

You're cleaning out stuff inside of your cells, pieces of DNA from cells dividing that have just kind of fragmented off or gunk, you know, just pieces of the cell, like there's all this gunk in our cells. And that process is cleared out.

When you sleep. However, if you just ate a meal before you hit the pillow, Your digestion, all that stuff, that goes on for like five hours. There's a lot of stuff happening that shunts energy away from that. The energy ships from repair. It's still in digestive mode.

So repair mode needs to be fasted.

So repair mode needs to be fasted.

I think typically it's like three hours are what a lot of the experts like Dr. Satch and Panda have sort of come to the conclusion. Because if you think about, if you finished eating three hours before you go to sleep, then for the first two hours, you're going to be finishing up the digestion process, right? And then the rest of the time, it's repair mode, right? It's repair mode.

So you want to give your body repair mode. And that's where I...
