I could be out and about with my friends. I could be anywhere when I have an idea for my upcoming book. This is why Notion, who are a show sponsor of mine now, has been an incredible platform for me. I've designed my Notion so that I can pull out my phone super quickly and store the idea in the section about my new book.

And I can collate pictures, images, voice notes, any type of media on the go, which means I'm able to capture that point of inspiration in a flexible way, and I'm no longer losing good ideas. I imagine many of the creatives and entrepreneurs listening to my podcast already use Notion. But if you want to try out Notion and you've never used it yourself, head over to notion.com slash DOAC.

That's notion.com slash DOAC. There was a shocking study that I read about this a while ago in JAMA, and it examined the impact of illness anxiety disorder, which they call IAD, formerly known as hypochondriitis, and the impact that being avoidant of health and illness has on your mortality rates. And the research analysed data from approximately 45,000 individuals over a 24-year period,

And the research analysed data from approximately 45,000 individuals over a 24-year period,

comparing 4,000 patients who had this anxiety around their health and were avoidant. And the findings showed that those with IAD that were anxious about health and getting checkups and those kinds of things had an 84% higher risk of death during the study period, dying on average five years earlier than those without the disorder.

And again, causation is hard to establish there because it could mean that being an anxious person means your cortisol is up anyway. Being an anxious person means you make worse dietary choices. But I've always remembered that and thought about how I find it much better, especially as I age and I'm going to be now confronted with more risks, especially things in men like prostate cancer.

Being on the front foot is probably a better approach.

That is coffee. Okay. And we've been talking a little bit about brown fat. Yeah. Is there a link between fat and coffee? Because I had someone the other day saying that if you want to lose weight, drink coffee.

What about fasting? People often talk about fasting as an intervention, as a form of medicine for the body. And I wondered if you had a take on that.

So there's one part of the body that we haven't talked about, which is, and my little mannequin here, inside its head, the brain. And I'm wondering how some of the themes we've talked about link to one of the most common brain diseases, which people talk about, which is Alzheimer's and dementia. We talked about, I can't say that long word, but...
