And then they get old, like we do.

They get old.

They move less.

It's very clear.

when you shut down insulin signaling, that doesn't happen.

They're youthful, they're moving around like they're young worms when they're supposed to be dead already.

And that was like,

Okay.

So let's talk about these key biomarkers for aging, like from a metabolic perspective.

What do you think would be the most indicative of biological aging and what biomarkers are good to look at?

And just for general metabolic health, would you add in some of the HbA1c and

you know, maybe ApoB.

So you mentioned LDL.

I mean, they don't even directly measure LDL.

They don't.

ApoB would be obviously a more direct measure, but then looking also at particle size, which I again think is important.

It's the small dense LDL particles.

Okay, great.

I think if you could leave people with just one practical takeaway about insulin, about their metabolic health, how they can improve their life, their health span in the long run, what would it be?

So you want to extend that state where you're basically improving insulin sensitivity.
