So the way that I would recommend people approach this is trying to have dinner for some minimized alcohol. We can talk about that as a separate issue if you want to. Have dinner and then like basically I cut it off and go clean for a few hours of no food, no alcohol before you go to bed.

And that basically sets you up where if you take that and you combine it with seven or eight hours of sleep, you end up in a place where you've done at least 12 hours of fasting. And this is a pretty good start. If you get that to 14 hours, we did a study with Zoe.

So we did these interesting studies where we would basically put an app out and let people who want to participate in a giant research study just come in and volunteer. And so we had over 100,000 people doing a 14-hour fast. 10-hour eating window, 14-hour fast. You get to choose how you divide that up during the day, right?

They actually had less bloating, which suggests, because this is not a population without IBS, this is a general healthy population, and yet their bloating is improving. Again, that would support that your gut microbiome is in a healthier place.
