is that we can constantly improve.

Casey, for somebody that wants to dive deeper into this realm of metabolic health,

assessing where they're at on that spectrum and then optimizing,

how do you recommend they begin?

You know, Jesse, I think the first step is to just to really start basic.

There are literally six biomarkers that we can get for free generally on our annual
