In the evening hours as a means of helping us wind down and becoming more creating an environment that's friendly for sleep.

So yeah, that bright light is crucially important.

you know, I also drink coffee.

I drink caffeine.

Caffeine is great from the standpoint of staying mentally sharp.

It's a stimulant obviously.

Uh, but there's really good data now linking caffeinated coffee to better health outcomes across myriad domains, whether we're talking cardiovascular health, reduced risk for neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, even multiple sclerosis.

So yeah, I'm a big fan of, of coffee.

And, um,

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Eating a nutrient dense diet.

I don't hyper fixate on glucose spikes.

I know a lot of people make a big deal about glucose spikes.

I don't really believe that they are as big of a problem that they're often made out to be.

But I do try to just stick primarily to whole foods.

And in so doing that, you know, the food matrix does a lot of that grunt work for you in terms of making sure that you're not over responding to a carbohydrate rich meal.

When you've got fiber, when you've got water, when you've got fat, when you've got protein, blood glucose spikes are not something that you have to micromanage.

On the other hand, if you're eating mainly processed, ultra processed foods and drinking sugary beverages and the like, your blood sugar is going to be a roller coaster over the course of the day.

And that can impair subjective cognitive function.

So you just want to be kind of mindful of that.
