So you have to be a little careful with this stuff, that you're making sure that your macronutrient profile stays high and that you're not kind of overstressing your body.

There are people who do great with intermittent fasting who can go three days and have some huge benefits, and there's people who actually are going to create more stress in their body and more muscle loss by doing that.

But if you had one rule, it would obviously be making sure that your protein intake is there.

Also, I'm going to add water to that mix because people forget so much how hydration is so important to us.

It is so neglected.

When you look at the muscle loss people had on GLP-1s, even if they ate enough protein, a lot of them started to lose muscle.

It was because they weren't drinking.

You also lose your thirst when you're on GLP-1, so you were not drinking water.

Then

I like to use this product called iCell water because it's an osmotic load to your water.

It adds some amino acids to your water.

And if you sip that during the day, it adds actually an osmotic load.

So it pushes that water into your cell, which is where you actually want the water to be.

So you can actually add this little iCell, which is actually an osmotic push of bringing that water into your cells so that you can hydrate the cells a little bit better.

But you need a lot more water.

Most of us are dehydrated.

I see it all the time when I look at it.

in-body scans and things like that, you can see there's cellular dehydration.

There's just so much.

You may have to have me back to talk about two of my favorite topics, which are ketones and why ketones are so incredibly, exogenous ketones are so incredibly helpful to us for aging.
