And it's been shown that interval walking improves a variety of metabolic parameters more than just walking. And again, it makes sense because when you're picking up the pace, you're working harder, you're making lactate, and that's one of the big signals for these glucose transporters to Come up to the top of the muscle and let the glucose in.

So I do think from a mechanistic understanding and also data showing walking versus interval walking, interval walking is better. When you can pick up the pace, when you can go a little bit more intense, it's better.

So that's what I'm working on. You probably don't... I'm not all jacked up, but that's been my new goal, particularly of late, but for like the past year, I've become more aware of it. I've spent more time focusing on it. I now have a coach who's great and coming to work with me to focus on that because I feel... I'll tell you when it really hit me.

I had someone on the podcast, Dr. Mark Madsen, and I have admired his work for years. He's like the intermittent fasting king. I've known of his research since it was in my 20s. He's also done a lot of work on hormesis, and I've followed his work for so much of my scientific career. So it was very cool to have him on the podcast and talk to him.

And we were talking all about everything under the sun with respect to fasting and hormesis. And we started talking about training. And he has been a track runner forever, big, big endurance athlete, mountain biking, everything. And he told me, he said, you know, the one thing that I really regret in my life is that I didn't spend more time building muscle mass. Because he had an accident.

He had a mountain biking accident and, you know, basically couldn't walk around and use his muscles for quite a period of time. And he said it really hit him hard. And so that was my first kind of like, oh, wow, I've always focused on endurance. I never thought I really needed to focus much on muscle. I'm not a bro. I didn't have that incentive to build the muscle.

And I knew it was important, but I didn't dive in deep enough and convince myself that it was as important. So That was the first sort of eye opener for me. And then I had Stuart Phillips on who does a lot of research on resistance training. He's the one that like I helped, you know, identify that the the RDA for protein intake is likely too low.
