you know five hours of exercise a week where they're doing like one hour a day during the work week i really think that people would be nicer to each other so that would be number one um i think number two would be social connections with the people that you love um and to foster them and cherish them.

We didn't talk about that today and the role that plays in aging, which is something, it does play a big role in aging.

In fact, all the super agers seem to have this, you know, social connections is a very big, you know, not being lonely, like losing all your friends and not having that social connection

is devastating on on the body and the brain and it does age you faster but also um again it comes down to that like connectedness like like connecting with people it's just it's it's so good yeah it's so i don't i don't I don't know that it's better than or worse than like vitamin D.

And I didn't talk about that in my perfect day, but it actually is a part of my big day. I have a family and I spend a lot of time with my family. So that would be number two. And I think number three would be that. I think. I think there's a lot of potential people are missing in terms of their optimizing their health, their own health and their own lifespan and life expectancy and health span.

And it all comes down to Shifting a focus on what you need. What are the things that you need to run your body? We need essential vitamins and minerals. If you don't get vitamin C, eventually you could die. Magnesium. These are 30 to 40 essential minerals and vitamins. We need these fatty acids. We need amino acids.

shift your thinking to what you need to fuel your body and everything else will fall into place instead of focusing on what you need, avoiding refined carbohydrates. Well, if you think about what you need to eat, that's not gonna be in the equation, so it already goes away, right? And I think it's a simplified way of thinking about health, especially nutrition.

I know that's a hard one. So I think for me my definition of greatness is really trying to push past my mental barriers, things that hold me back, things I'm afraid of, my fears. to avoid thinking and seeing, to try to see less of the negative and more of the positive, seeing less of the problems and more of the solutions. I think that for me, greatness is really,

I think that for me, greatness is really,

pushing past the fears and negativity, I think. If I get past that, things are really great. I think last time I talked about honesty as my greatness, and I think that's definitely still part of my greatness. Yeah, I think just getting past the hard, hard stuff is greatness.

So whether it's in my social relationships or being a parent, being a wife, being a daughter or being a podcaster or being a scientist, in every part of what makes me who I am, There are things that hold me back. There are things I'm scared of. And there are things that I can identify a lot of problems in without seeing the solutions. And I think that those are not greatness.
