So we don't have anti-inflammatory or inflammatory measures in this particular study.

We have other work that supports the idea.

that mealtime regularity and time-restricted eating can be contributory factors to weight loss and ultimately reduced inflammation.

So we do have other studies, Jonathan, separate from the one that we're discussing, but it fits nicely into an entire conversation that we're having around inflammation being associated with fatigue.

Impulsive eating and increased appetite, bloating, changes in mood, right?

These are four of the elements that we've already discussed as being associated with inflammation.

And what we're seeing in a real world study, again, we don't have blood work, but in a real world study, when people follow this pattern, this is the payout.

And I would argue that if we were to zoom in on their body, we would discover that on a microscopic level,

there was an anti-inflammatory effect that's contributing to these factors.

So yes, and I think that the proof for the individual person who's listening to this and what they appreciate, the value that comes from research and clinical trials and things like this, they appreciate that.

But ultimately, they just want to feel better.

And to me, that is ultimately where the proof does exist.

But just to go back to the idea of meal timings being important, there was one study, Jonathan, this was not a Zoe study, but there was one study where they took a group of people and they just had them do a simple thing.

Shift your food from late in the day to early in the day.

And people who did this were rewarded with a drop in inflammation

And by the way, what's quite fascinating, a drop in their triglyceride levels by just eating their food earlier in the day.

And those who maintained a late dominant eating pattern, right?

Most of their food late in the day actually had their triglyceride levels going up.

And once again, this ties back to this concept of like postprandial inflammation.

So when we're digging into the specifics of the science, you can get lost in
