It's going to help a little, but that's a situation where you want to make sure you have gotten your, your, your 20 or 30 minute exercise in. Or even if you did it earlier in the day, right? Because, but, but add the extra five minutes on top of that.

It'll really help.

It'll really help.

it does meal timing like around the meal time a little extra helps but yeah that's the case where if you're already physically active and you're doing you do that actually i like to do mine in the morning um it's just how i like even though i perform better performance wise if i if i go for a run in the afternoon i'll be like faster um yeah i still like the the pump i get in the morning it's just good to get a complete also it does it feels good to get a complete tired or later in the day sometimes

It does. Yeah. And then also I was talking about mental, that mental toughness. Like when I lift in the morning and I, and I, and I get, I do those like hard squats and stuff. Other things are easier. I can do anything today. Let's go. But it's true. I mean, I mean, it's not anything. Yeah. It's still hard, but like it is a little easier. It really is. Like I for sure know it. It's easier. Yeah.

Well, I did my first aging experiments 20 years ago. That was when I was just, you know, starting my scientific career.

Well, the answer to that, my real answer to that is kind of like more hardcore science. And I don't know if you want that or not. But it actually has to do with like 20 years ago, I thought aging was caused by... an accumulation of damage that we're just getting over time.

So damage just in general to our DNA, to our proteins, to our mitochondria, you know, and you have these hallmarks of aging and you have to go and fix each hallmark, like a surgeon. And it's like, you have to fix your genomic instability and you have to fix your mitochondria and you have to fix everything, right? Now, I think aging is a program, password 20 years. I think aging is a program and it,

It's something that is in our DNA at the level of our epigenome. So our epigenetics, these are things that are sort of kind of on top of our DNA that turn our genes on and activate them or turn them off and deactivate them. And it comes down to this concept of Dr. Steve Horvath's biological agent clocks. You've heard of these? The biological agent clocks.

Biological aging, right. How do you test that? There's a variety of tests for it.

Blood work, is that what it is?

Blood work, is that what it is?

There's a blood work test, and they test. They're called methyl groups. Essentially, they're just carbon with three hydrogens, and there's a pattern of them on our DNA. There's a pattern of them, and this pattern... I think is the aging program.
