For instance, my brain is best between 5 a.m. and 2 p.m. That is when I'm going to get all my deep work done. I'm going to be creative. I'm going to think. After 2 p.m., I could build you a house. I can continue operating. But if I'm going to write a book, it's going to be early. So I do not work out in the morning because I'm not going to waste that brain energy.

on physical activity when I need it for this deep work. So that's the way I apply brain science. But I'm so lucky to be surrounded in the place I am now with people who put EEGs on your head and map your brain and tell you which brain pathways you're too stressful on and which brain pathways we can train. And you can train the physical brain like a muscle.

Yeah, so there's this company called Nestri that I just happen to have access to and they put EEG helmets on my precision longevity clients and we map their brains and look at For instance, here's an example. Things that are habitual take very little brain energy.

Even if we need a lot of brain energy, they become so habitual, our brain turns away energy from them versus things we're learning or things we're stressed about. We devote so much energy to that. So once this company maps our brains, then they have this

training program where it's almost like getting your cognitive brain out of the way and let your subconscious brain reapply energy to the pathways that you actually need, that you've begun to ignore, and it makes you more efficient. And I'm being inadequate in explaining it, but brain scientists believe that you can retrain the brain like a muscle and devote energy to neural pathways.

So I know we do this to athletes to try to squeeze performance out of them.

So, you know, after the understanding of human DNA, knowing what we're truly made of, It pushed us out of a time in medicine where we've been for the last 150 years, which is observe, and one size fits nobody. Now that we've sequenced the human genome, we can develop health plans, your health plan, my health plan. It's not generic. Here's an example.

When I have people who want to talk to me about living healthier longer and we draw a set of biomarkers, it's not 6,000 biomarkers. It's just a set of about 23 that are beyond regular labs. And I see that, for instance, maybe, Stephen, you have a high load of senescent cells. Well, I'm going to specifically design your gap nutrition according to what you need. You might not need

anything for inflammation because maybe your inflammation labs are good. But historically, what we would have done is say, okay, let's just give everybody the same formula, but now we're able to devise what your body needs at your time. I do the same thing with exercise.

I never say, let's have you do 150 minutes of moderate exercise because I have access to lactate threshold testing where you're walking on a treadmill, running on a treadmill, or on a bike. Every four minutes, we're pricking your finger. And I can tell exactly when your mitochondria, the little energy storehouses in your cells, go from burning fat to burning carbohydrates.

Every four minutes, we're pricking your finger. And I can tell exactly when your mitochondria, the little energy storehouses in your cells, go from burning fat to burning carbohydrates.

And that place is called the fat max. And that is when your mitochondria, your energy organelles, are most efficient. And that's where we want to work out. 80% of the time. So that's just an example of how I'm going to tell you what heart rate you need to work out in.
