So, I I think there's there's two ways to approach this. Uh one is Yeah. So primarily I am plant-based excluding collagen peptides because I think the most important thing happening on the earth right now is that we are giving birth to super intelligence uh very on a very short time scale and if AI you becomes sentient to some extent in whatever form you want to define that and we don't want to meet yeah when it says like oh hey intelligent beings hey hey hey humans How do you guys treat other forms of intelligence? I think we want to be seen as a thoughtful and compassionate species and not brutal. And right now we are brutal. And so I think we really want to contemplate the um just like who we are as a species. And then number two, I think you could probably make an evidence-based argument that uh a plant-based diet with collagen peptides is a not the a leading approach for top tier uh biomarkers. This is not to say uh somebody couldn't beat my comprehensive biomarkers with meat. Entirely a possibility and it would be great if someone did. It's only to say we chose a track. We based it upon scientific evidence and we think there's yeah we think it's compelling in terms of the EV supporting evidence but it's not the only way. So again if someone else wants to take a different approach and if you look at the the studies uh for example the recent speed of aging studies the DNA methylation the green medit Mediterranean diet is the best performing and I believe that has some fish and some other meats. So there's definitely a presence of meat in some of the best performing diets. And so this is not to say that all meats are bad. It's just to be that um we've chosen a a particular path. So meat eaters, we love you. Please don't come at us. Yeah. Also, we should talk quickly about amount of protein. So the a lot of you know the quoteunquote official recommendation of uh protein intake is uh 0.8 8 gram per uh kilogram of body weight which is too low. The more uh appropriate recommendations so for endurance training uh 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram a day. If you're doing strength power hypertrophy you're in the 1.6 to 2.2 kg a day. Uh you could go higher but you you know than 2.2 two grams per kilogram, but you just want to be mindful that you're not overdoing it because you can have negative consequences. So, you want to make sure you're measuring your body to make sure that it's not causing some kind of harm. And then, of course, uh females, depending upon where you're at in your cycle, you want to modulate uh
