So is metabolic health really the common thread? Absolutely.

I think very much it is the common thread.

There's lots of studies that look at metabolic health that originally started from a cardiovascular standpoint.

So there is something called metabolic syndrome, and this is something that I've been screening patients for for a long time.

And it's important for patients to know this because these are things that are easy to pick up.

Because if you have certain metrics that give you a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, you're at more risk.

Maybe I can just speak to that a little bit.

So is there something that really excites you that you think will fundamentally change how we age in the next 5, 10, 15 years?

So how can people manage chronic stress?

We need to slow down enough to be aware of how our body feels.

So that is step one.

Having some bit of reflection on how are we feeling? Why are my bowels all over the place? What's happening? We think of the fight or flight hormones.

We wanna promote the rest and digest ones.

We talk a lot in medicine now about mindfulness.

Meditation is one thing that's become much more mainstream, and the reason this works is it down regulates that little part of your brain that is the fear and the heightened awareness center.

Is there anything we've missed, some takeaways that you can give to people to say, "Oh, yeah, okay, I, I, you know, I need to pay maybe a little more attention"?
