It just kind of keeps the social machinery lubricated and yeah, all beneficial.

We've done enough episodes on the show.

You can, we have a back catalog.

Highly recommend checking out an interview that we did recently with a neuroscientist by the name of Ben Rien or Raine, who is, he's a neuroscientist and he wrote a book recently on how loneliness is actually a pro-inflammatory phenomena, right?

whereby, you know, it's a stressor.

It can raise levels of cortisol.

And if you're chronically lonely, it's not something that you want to, it's something that you want to, you know, find a solution for.

And I highly recommend checking out that episode of the show.

Again, he's a neuroscientist, so he makes the connection directly from, you know, loneliness all the way over to long-term brain health.

And yeah, it's crucially important.

So

um yeah so again it's the big levers no magic pill no magic blueberry uh no magic supplement um it's the big levers and trying to do ultimately the best that you can so I hope I hope that answers that question

This episode of the show is sponsored by Function Health.

Cholesterol is one of those biomarkers that absolutely matters for heart health, but it's not the whole picture.

A standard physical usually checks LDL cholesterol, but it often skips other important markers like ApoB, insulin, inflammation, and other indicators of metabolic health, things that can quietly drive risk long before problems show up.

Something that always surprises me is that most people wait until they're once a year physical to get labs, and even then they're typically just getting a small slice of the information that could actually help with prevention.

That's why I think Function Health is dope.

It helps you stop guessing by giving you access to 160 plus lab tests each year, including markers for heart health, metabolic health, inflammation, hormones, and environmental toxins.

You see results clearly on the Function platform, which gives you a fantastic bird's eye view of what's actually happening inside your body.

When you have better data, you're not reacting late.
