I'm doing amazing, man. Thanks for being here. You're welcome. Thanks for saving Dana White's life. That's what he credits. He credits talking to you and taking your advice, completely changing his life and now he feels infinitely better. Yeah. I mean, he did a lot of the work himself. Well, he had to, but you had to tell him what to do, but luckily he listened. Yeah. I mean, I think giving him a life expectancy just kind of validated it for him. It just really put it in his face, and you know, because that's something you can calculate. He's like, okay, well, I'm 53 now. 63 doesn't seem that far off. Right. You know, a lot of like high stress individuals that don't take care of themselves, their ticker checks out in around 65, 67, pretty standard, it just takes its toll. I mean, and the funny thing is, you know, when you go back and you look at the pictures of him prior to, he does kind of look like he was about to pop, you know, it's not good. Yeah. He had a big old moon face and he was, you know, the veins up on the forehead and the veins out of the side of the neck. What was like, first of all, how did he meet you? How did this come about and like, how did the conversations start? So we have a mutual friend named Carrie Kasem. If you remember Casey Kasem. Yeah, I know Carrie. I worked with her back in the day in the early UFCs. Okay. So, you know, I recently met Carrie and she had kind of a life-changing experience as well. You know, if you know anything about her journey with Lyme disease and chronic viral infection, I mean, she really, she really struggled and end up healing herself. And she took the same test that Dana White did and was life-changing for her. And she was like, what is this test? It's a genetic test. It looks at genetic methylation pathways. So methylation pathways? Methylation pathways. So think about it like this, you know, we pull crude oil out of the ground, right? But, but you can't put crude oil into your gas tank, right? Because the car doesn't understand that fuel source. So what happens is crude oil has to be refined into gasoline and then the car can run. Okay. So in human beings, there's a similar process called methylation. There's not a single compound known to mankind, not one. There's no vitamin, no mineral, no amino acid, no nutrient, no protein, no nutrient of any kind that enters the human body and is used in the format that we put it in. Out of single exception, everything we put into our bodies has to be refined into the usable form.
