Source description (no synthesized summary yet).
Gary Brealey argues that reversing biological age requires a pragmatic, tiered approach starting with free foundational practices (grounding, breath work, cold exposure, sunlight), progressing to affordable testing and targeted supplementation based on individual genetic methylation profiles, and only then considering expensive devices, with the core insight being that most impactful interventions cost nothing and the key is consistent commitment to small promises rather than chasing expensive biohacks.
- Most powerful age-reversal tools are free and available (sunlight, grounding, breath work, cold showers) but require consistent daily practice
- Genetic methylation testing reveals individual nutrient deficiencies, enabling targeted supplementation for deficiency rather than guessing, producing measurable 3-7 day improvements in sleep, cognition, and anxiety
- Expensive devices (red light therapy, EWOT, PEMF mats) amplify gains only after foundational practices and testing are established; the limiting factor is commitment to small daily promises, not access to technology

Getting baseline health data through a general practitioner—including hormone panel, basic CBC, comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid panel, and nutrient deficiency screening—is relatively inexpensive and often covered by health insurance, and is the essential first step for most people because many live with pre-diabetes or hypertension (the 'silent killer' where sudden death is often the first symptom) without awareness.
“if you have health insurance go to your general practitioner and get them to pull a a general hormone panel you know basic CBC com uh comprehensive metabolic panel lipid panel um hormone panel and basic nutrient deficiencies and just get some data maybe you are hyper um maybe you are insulin resistant and don't know you people live with pre-diabetes for decades and are not even aware that they're pre-diabetic um people live with hypertension it's called the silent killer because very often the first sign of um severe hypertension is is sudden death”
A genetic predisposition to high homocysteine (hyper homocysteinemia) causes inability to metabolize the amino acid homocysteine, resulting in vascular constriction that drives up blood pressure, peripheral vascular disease, peripheral neuropathies, and ocular nerve damage with restricted circulation—meaning some cases of hypertension are caused not by heart dysfunction but by elevated homocysteine and can be treated by supplementing for the methylation deficiency that prevents homocysteine metabolism.
“let's say you have a genetic predisposition to have high homosysteine which means you don't metabolize an amino acid in the body called homosysteine um which everybody has in their blood right everybody that's listening to this podcast has homosysteine when you get hyper homocystinemia high levels of homosysteine because you have a gene mutation and you don't metabolize homosysteine this has all kinds of potential Downstream consequences hyperten um peripheral um vascular disease um peripheral neuropathies because of the low the the restricted circulation there's even um ocular nerve damage and all kinds of conditions in the eye because when homocysteine Rises to a certain level it causes a vascular constriction”
Genetic methylation testing (via cheek swab sent to lab) is the most overlooked thing in modern medicine and is a priority investment under $1000 because it reveals how each individual processes and converts nutrients, allowing for supplementation of specific deficiencies rather than guessing, with the premise that no compound enters the body in its usable form—everything must be converted through methylation.
“I would absolutely unequivocally I would get a genetic methylation test um I think you know in my opinion it's the most overlooked thing in all of modern medicine and it that is that um human beings most of us methylate nutrients differently meaning we process things differently in the human body”
Biological age can be measured through multiple biomarker methods including telomere length, glycan age tests, and seven specific blood biomarkers (as referenced by Dr. Walter Longo), and some individuals can be biologically older or younger than their chronological age—for example, a 45-year-old who is biologically 50 or biologically 35.
“our chronological age is you know how many years we've been on Earth and our biological ages how old are we biologically so if you could do this by biomarkers you can do this by telomere links um you can do it by something called a glycan age test so lots of ways you know Dr alter Longo would say you look at seven specific biomarkers in the blood to determine biologically where where you are on the um you know on on the scale versus your chronological age”
Cold showers produce hormetic effects through regular release of cold shock proteins and survival genes, providing a regular boost to metabolism, emotional state, and mood with zero financial cost, and have astounding long-term consequences even though the immediate sensation is challenging.
“I would add um uh I would add cold showers because of the hormetic effect not just because it makes you feel good but because the regular release of cold shock proteins the regular release of cerin survival genes um the regular boost to your metabolism to your emotional state to your mood and the cost of it being zero um those have really long-term um consequences”
Red light therapy wavelengths pass through the cell wall into the mitochondria and dissociate mitochondrial nitric oxide from cytochrome c oxidase, allowing oxygen to dock with the enzyme, which increases ATP production from 2 ATP to 38 ATP (net 36 ATP)—a 16-fold increase in cellular energy that makes red light therapy a mechanism for boosting mitochondrial efficiency.
“these nanometer wavelengths of light will actually pass through the cell wall they'll pass through the mitochondria wall they will go into the mitochondria and they will dissociate a gas called mitochondrial nitric oxide they'll dissociate it from something called cytochrome SE oxidase and what will happen is when when this this gas this nitric oxide gas is released oxygen docks so so think of cytochrome SE oxidase as a as a one-armed man right he can either shake hands with oxygen or he can shake hands with nitric oxide in the most simplistic example”
Wim Hof Method breath work—three rounds of 30 breaths with extended breath holds between rounds—takes approximately 8 minutes and Brealey practices it without exception every morning within 30 minutes of waking, allowing him to hold breath for about 4 minutes during breath hold portions while most people last 30 seconds to a minute and a half, and this practice resets circadian clock particularly when traveling across time zones.
“I use a whm style of breath work I do three rounds of 30 breaths with a very extended breath hold in between um it is the one thing that I never ever ever ever Miss and when I say never ever um I won't miss I'll miss a commercial flight to not miss breath work and so that's a promise that I keep to myself every single day and my body my my body knows that within 30 minutes of waking I'm doing breath work every single day”
Before a PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) mat session, visual microscopic inspection of blood shows red blood cells clumped together like stacked quarters or stuck round cells due to loss of surface polarity, and after a 20-30 minute PEMF session at the appropriate setting, microscopic re-inspection shows blood cells separated and repelled from each other, demonstrating the repolarization effect of PEMF on cellular surfaces.
“if you actually want to test it um you could lay on a pulse electromagnetic field mat p& MFM and prior to getting on that mat just take you know um prick your finger take a drop of that blood and put it on a standard microscope 200 to to 1,000 power and what you'll see when you look at your blood is you will see that the majority of your red blood cells are clumped together and kind of stuck up they'll either look like stacked quarters in a roll of $10 quart $10 roll of quarters or they you'll see these round cells that are stuck together and clumped up”
Photobiomodulation (red light therapy) has vastly documented benefits for human health and virtually no downside, with the literature showing astounding applications for multiple conditions when searched by putting 'photobiomodulation' plus any health condition into Google Scholar.
“the therapeutic impact of photobiomodulation is very well documented I mean I don't think that there is anyone that has looked at the literature that would argue that ride light therapy has some astounding U benefits for human beings and has virtually no downside”
Humans cannot be productive during hyperbaric oxygen therapy at high pressures and high O2 concentrations (due to safety restrictions on electronic devices), making 90-minute hyperbaric sessions idle time unless used specifically for meditation, which is an inefficient use of time compared to EWOT which is only 10-12 minutes.
“you're not you're not exercising when you're in there you're not you you know you're not grounding you're not getting depending if you're you know what pressure you're at I mean some lower pressures you can bring a phone in or whatever and maybe be productive but when you start getting into the you know two atmospheres uh things like that like and higher concentration of o2 yeah it's the percent O2 that need that gets risky yeah exactly when you can't you can't bring a device in there or something so you're just really like unless you want to use that time to specifically meditate”
Proximity to light source dramatically affects light penetration depth and intensity according to power laws—moving from 1 inch away from skin means roughly half the light, 2 inches away means roughly one-tenth the light—so whole-body professional red light therapy beds with adjustable light intensity as distance from body increases are superior to personal portable devices.
“proximity to light matters right if you look at the most of the studies where they'll do tissue density studies or or light penetration studies on on non-oled cavers where you take light meters and you bury them in a non-oled caver and you you look at the mots of a Radiance um and the depth of penetration of light and you see how far into the tissue does It Go um I forget exactly what the with what the formula is but as you get further away from the skin there is a dramatic step down in in the in the P penetration density”
Red light therapy typically includes multiple light wavelengths (visible red light, near-infrared, far-infrared), with many devices appearing to have some LEDs 'off' when actually they have invisible infrared diodes that are on, and total spectrum includes collagen/elastin/fibrin support benefits, microvascular circulation improvement, and inflammation reduction.
“it's not just red it's infrared near infrared um far infrared and the Red Spectrum so a lot of times when you look at these beds you it looks like several of the um light diodes are off they're actually on you just can't see them they're the invisible invisible spectrums and as red light passes through the skin I mean it has a very positive impact on collagen elastin fibrin microvascular circulation reducing inflammation incredible benefits for the eyes”
Methylation is the biochemical process where non-active nutrient forms are converted into usable forms—e.g., folic acid is converted to methylfolate, cyanocobalamin is converted to hydroxycobalamin—and this conversion is governed by specific genes that vary between individuals.
“what I'm saying is there is a process in the human body called methylation and this is where we take um something that is not the active form the form that we are using and we convert it in into the form the body can use so for example folic acid is essentially useless in the human body until it is converted into methylfolate um you know um B12 for example if you put it in in the form of cyanocobalamin it will be converted into hydroxy covalin so this process of conversion is called methylation and it's governed by several major genes”
Repolarizing cells through PEMF expands surface area, and with 32 trillion cells in the human body, the cumulative increase in cellular surface area across all cells explains why people feel so good after PEMF sessions—the measurable physiological effect compounds across the entire cellular population.
“if I could recharge it right if I could repolarize the surface of that cell if I could actually cause all the cells that are stuck together and clumped up where I'm losing surface area to separate and repel from one another think about the increase in surface area 32 trillion cells in the human body and this is one of the reasons why you feel so good afterwards”
Even for someone eating a whole food diet or strict keto, targeted micronutrient deficiencies can develop (e.g., from eating only chicken and cheese on keto), so a high-quality methylated multivitamin serves as a low-risk, inexpensive lever to improve kidney, liver, lung, pancreatic function, cognitive function, and anxiety even when diet quality is already optimized.
“I'm not saying it's going to fix your cancer Bo I'm saying it could improve your kidney liver lung pancreatic function improve your cognitive function downregulate anxiety improve your sleep I'm saying all of those things are absolute positive Prett inexpensive lever to try too right it's like that's one of the things very inexpensive and lowrisk lever right”
Exercise with oxygen therapy (EWOT) or multi-step oxygen therapy is based on the theory that aging and disease have hypoxia (low oxygen) as a component, so breathing 93-95% oxygen from an oxygen concentrator for 10-12 minutes during mild exercise (alternating 3 minutes walking with 30 seconds jogging) raises partial pressure of oxygen saturation in blood and is one of the highest-ROI single tools for age reversal given time investment and cost.
“the multi-step oxygen theory is that um you know the aging and and the ideology of most diseases has a component that is linked to hypoxia and so ewat exercise with oxygen therapy is taking a an oxygen concentrator and taking 21% ambient air filling a bag full of 900 L of 93 to 95% oxygen and then breathing that oxygen for for 10 to 12 minutes under mild exercise just to increase a little bit of the profusion pressure and so you raise your partial pressure the saturation level of oxygen in the blood”
Most people are clinically deficient in vitamin D3, and vitamin D3 with K2 (specifically MK7 form) is a baseline supplement almost everyone needs because vitamin D3 affects calcium transport and deposition into bone (not arterial wall), immunity, and fertility, and is easy to measure via blood tests for clinical deficiency.
“almost everybody needs to supplement with vitamin D3 5,000 I use a D3 with also K2 a specific form of K2 called mk7 um you know D3 just does so many things in in the body col cerol so many of us are clinically deficient in vitamin D3 not not the least of with just calcium transport and deposition into the bone not the arterial wall um but immunity um you know fertility uh you know there there there's so many outcomes from a deficiency in vitamin D3”
A methylated multivitamin (targeting specific methylated forms based on genetic methylation test results) can produce rapid measurable improvements within 3-7 days: significant decline in anxiety, improved delta wave sleep depth, traumatic improvement in cognitive function especially short-term recall, increased clarity and wakefulness, and improved waking energy.
“if you really want to see magic things happen in the human body um supplement for those deficiencies a methylfolate deficiency a methyl cobalamin deficiency a a b complex deficiency um and watch how quickly I'm talking three to seven days um rather dramatic changes can happen in your body everything from a significant Decline and you know this the the occurrence of of anxiety to an immediate Improvement in the depth of your Delta wave of sleep or your sleep overall um to a traumatic Improvement in your cognitive function especially your short-term recall how sort of clear and cognizant and wake you feel um to your waking energy”
After age 35, 90% of people never sprint again (based on observed patterns rather than rigorous scientific data), meaning people stop conditioning auxiliary muscles of respiration (intercostals) and the diaphragm loses strength, resulting in shallow breathing from the apex of lungs rather than the lobes, which prevents adequate oxygenation and the diaphragm's massage of intestines for proper intestinal motility.
“I read a statistic I don't know if there's any real scientific data behind this that after age 35 90% of people will never Sprint again um I don't know if that's I could I could believe it true or not but you know as I just sort of walk the world and and look at the world around me I think about my own activity at 53 years old I really hadn't sprinted very often and and I'm pretty um aware of the need for exercise so so it's something I could believe again I don't know if there's real data behind it”
Grounding (taking off shoes and touching the Earth's surface) is a real physiological phenomenon where humans build up electrical charge that discharges into Earth, and this contact changes the surface polarity of red blood cells and other cells in the body, despite receiving criticism online as 'hocus pocus science.'
“grounding taking your shoes off and touching the surface of the Earth is a very real thing we get a lot of flak for that online that it's just uh Hocus Pocus science but it's actually very true human beings build up a charge you can discharge into the Earth you can actually change the surface polarity of your red blood cells and other cells in your body just by touching the surface of the Earth um we get that magnetism from the earth”
Keeping small daily promises to yourself—such as going to bed at a specific time or completing a planned workout—is foundational to building integrity with yourself, because breaking small promises trains the internal psyche to accept lies and breaks macro promises, and this discipline-building is more important than motivation for long-term behavior change.
“I would start keeping small promises to yourself and by small promises to yourself I mean the promises that you don't share with the outside world because um something as simple as I'm going to go to bed at 10:00 and then going to bed at 10:00 CU most of us will say I'm going to go to bed at 10:00 going I go to bed at 1:00 a.m. I'm going to work out tomorrow morning and actually just skip the workout um I'm going to go for I'm going to you know I get inspired by this podcast I'm going to start doing the 35 minutes of of um uh walking every morning I'm expose my skin to sunlight and then we don't do it”
A botanist or arborist will not treat a rotting leaf on a palm tree by touching the leaf, but by testing the soil and adding missing nitrogen to the soil, causing the leaf to heal, yet humans have stopped thinking about their bodies this way—instead spraying chemicals, synthetics, and pharmaceuticals onto symptoms rather than asking what is deficient in the soil (the body) that is causing the symptom expression.
“I always tell the story about when I was in grad school and I had to take all these plant bodney courses and which I really didn't like but you have to take them even though I was getting human biology degree and the thing that really stood out to me was that you know if if you have a leaf that is rotting in a palm tree and you call it true arborist a true botanist out to your house and he sees that leaf routing in the palm tree he won't touch the leaf he will cortest the soil and they'll say you know what there's there's no nitrogen in the soil and they will add nitrogen to the soil and the leaf will heal and and we've stopped thinking about human beings this way right we want to spray chemicals synthetics Pharmaceuticals on it we want to cut it we want to spray paint it we want to do all kinds of things to that leaf but we're not asking what is missing from the soil”
The vast majority of high-performing CEOs have far more detailed data on their businesses than on their health status—knowing precise revenue, employee counts, and profit margins while being unable to state their hemoglobin A1C or testosterone levels—despite claiming health is their top priority, indicating a critical gap between stated values and actual resource allocation to health.
“I actually was last night at um an event with Damon John and it was uh you know high high performing CEOs in a room that that Damon was doing a mastermind with and we were having an open conversation and if you went around the room and asked every single person you said what's more important to you your business or your health they would say oh my God my health um what's more important to you you know um how much money you make or your health they would say by far my health and then when you bring them up on stage and you say um okay well uh you know what's what what kind of business do you own I own a marketing agency how much money does it make $178,000 a month how many employees do you have 16 what's your net profit 44,00 a month what's your hemoglobin A1c blank yeah right um what's your testosterone level blank right”
Humans were evolutionarily designed to spend 85% of their time outdoors and now spend 97% indoors with regulated light and temperature, and this shift toward comfort-seeking is 'the aggressive pursuit of comfort' which actively accelerates aging, because exposure to natural magnetism (from Earth), oxygen (from air), and light (from sun) is essential to human health.
“we get three things from Mother Nature we get magnetism from the earth we get oxygen from the air we get light from the sun the further we get away from those three things the sicker we become”
Ability to return to baseline metabolic state quickly after intense exercise is 'a really good marker of how huge marker truly athletic you are'—athletes who remain chronically stressed and elevated for hours post-workout versus those who complete effort and normalize represent fundamentally different athletic capacity or physiological efficiency.
“going off on a tangent from an athletic perspective being able to like go all the way and then come back to Baseline is a really good marker of how huge marker truly athletic you are do you stay chronically stressed and elevated after a workout for hours and hours and hours or can you do this do your business and your body just says I'm back to normal right”
A 50-55 pound kettlebell or a trap bar (hex bar) with plates is the single most important piece of exercise equipment available—either one enables compound movements, full-body conditioning, and farmer walks, providing maximum benefit for minimum equipment investment compared to specialized machines.
“I think if I only had one piece of gemm equipment I think a 50 maybe 55b kettle bell it's either be either be kettle bells or like a a trap bar you know like at one of the hex bars and some plates like that's like you can do so much with a trap bar”
Red light therapy was previously criticized online by people who now have sponsored placements for red light therapy devices—showing that once the evidence became clear, the same critics accepted it and monetized it, demonstrating how evidence eventually overwhelms criticism in scientific domains.
“it's like four years ago you know I was getting called all kinds of names because I was talking about red light therapy and now literally literally the same people have called me out on that are now funny enough having sponsored placements for red light therapy devices you know so it's uh it's kind of interesting how all of a sudden this is just okay we're not going to fight about this one anymore like once you learn it you can't unlearn it”
If people could experience the benefits of grounding, breath work, sunlight exposure, and cold showers for just seven days, this would provide a glimpse of how good they could feel and create intrinsic motivation to adopt more advanced biohacking interventions like red light therapy, targeted supplementation, and dietary optimization.
“what's what's astounding is I feel like if we could just get people to do those things for seven days give them a glimpse of how good they could feel and that's when you can start to bring all in all of the fancy biohacking things if you wanted to do red light therapy if you wanted to really dial in your diet you know if you wanted to start targeted supplementation well let's talk about some of those things”
Most people are wandering through supplement regimens taking many 'good' and 'amazing' supplements (NMN, Resveratrol, CoQ10, Ashwagandha, St. John's Wort, etc.) resulting in supplement cabinets with three shelves of 'great supplements,' but they haven't asked the right question: does my body actually need this particular supplement?
“most of us are wandering around in the Myriad of really good supplements is nmn and good supplements a phenomenal supplement is Resveratrol a good supplement it's an amazing supplement is CoQ10 a great supplement it's excellent for you but by the time you get to ashanda and St John's W and CoQ10 and NN and you know and and on and on and on you know pretty soon um you can have you know a supplement cabinet that's three shelves of great supplements but you haven't asked the right question which is does my body need it right”
Formulating a high-quality methylated multivitamin took 2.5 years of work involving third-party research partnerships, bioavailability studies, serum concentration studies, and licensing agreements with patent holders of patented ingredients—requiring sourcing raw materials from US suppliers where most premium ingredients are held by patent-holders, requiring extensive coordination to produce a truly bioavailable product.
“it took me two and a half years just to formulate one multivitamin called 10x optimize and I I have a lot of um respect for you know the folks in the industry that are actually doing real research real serum concentration studies real um bioavailability studies and and actually sourcing their raw materials from places that we know are bioavailable because a lot of them are sourced from China and if you want to Source everything from the United States and a lot of the um best ingredients are um held by Patent holders people that have you know patent their formula or they they've trademarked things and you need to go and actually enter into licensing agreements with them to license their raw material”
Red light therapy appears to produce measurable improvements in recovery metrics—lactate levels have been observed to return to baseline within 15 minutes of red light therapy bed use post-workout—providing objective evidence that red light therapy affects athletic recovery physiology measurably and quickly.
“D de austino was talking about red light therapy uh last time I was with him last week too and talking about uh his lactate levels just come down after 15 minutes of the you know that's I mean again it's like that's that's another cool measurement”
Dom D'Agostino is described as 'a brick house' on Instagram who behind-the-neck shoulder presses 285 pounds for reps at approximately 200 pounds bodyweight, demonstrating that high athletic performance is compatible with keto diet and careful supplementation, despite stereotypes about keto and athletic performance.
“before anyone is like oh Dom he's just ta keto guy like if you look at him on Instagram like the dude is a brick house like he's behind the neck shoulder pressing 285 for reps I mean the guy it's insane right and he's not gigantic he's he's not you know maybe 200 lb he's my point is is that like he's not an athlete but he trains like an athlete”
The fundamental principle of human existence is that 'the presence of oxygen is the absence of disease'—all humans die the same way through hypoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain), and most humans are on a 'hypoxic curve' where they either manage oxygen well or poorly, with poor oxygen management accelerating toward disease and pathology faster, making oxygen optimization the key to 'pushing off the Grim Reaper.'
“I believe that the presence of oxygen is the absence of disease um you know all human beings leave this earth the same way we all die of the same thing we all die of something called hypoxia lack of oxygen to the brain it's a definition of death we just tend to think of it as an event like a gunshot wound a bus car stroke heart attack but the truth is most of us are on a hypoxic curve we are either managing oxygen well or we are managing oxygen poorly”
Carbon dioxide buildup during breath holds causes vasodilation before oxygen re-enters the body, and breath work produces a 'high' that makes it Brealey's 'drug of choice,' feeling better for longer than other interventions while being more accessible and portable than alternatives.
“to allow that carbon dioxide to build up vasodilate before oxygen goes back into the body um so I would learn to do breath work”
Humans are 'very photovoltaic beings' and most people are not getting enough sunlight, so standing in sunlight with shirt off and recharging is a practical intervention Brealey practices even in public settings (middle of Los Angeles streets), and this can be combined with grounding and breath work anywhere, making free nature-based interventions portable.
“you know we're very photovoltaic beings and the truth is most of are not getting enough sunlight we're actually just not breathing anymore you know as we as we get older and our posture starts to collapse and our kyphosis and our lordosis changes and our and our shoulders roll forward and our hip angle changes”
Dom D'Agostino (neuropharmacologist and researcher) is very interested in lactate's effects on brain function and specifically studies lactate levels in different contexts (baseline, pre-workout, post-workout) because of this neurological interest, making him particularly interested in how red light therapy affects lactate levels quickly.
“you know he's a neuropharmacologist so he's really like the impact of lactate on the brain he's very interested in that so he likes to he likes to study that stuff”
A hypermax oxygen system (EWOT equipment) costs approximately $5,500, while hyperbaric chambers cost $15,000-$70,000+ depending on hard-shell vs soft-shell and size, making EWOT significantly more accessible
“so you're looking at yeah 15 grand 25 Grand typically for a hyperbar so yeah yeah if you want a real hard shell large one you know 50 60 7 thousand totally”
Red light therapy beds have been expensive enough historically that Brealey rigged a portable device to hover over their face on two chairs, but expressed concern about dogs knocking it down, illustrating the practical challenges of trying to DIY professional-grade red light therapy setups at home.
“and I've got four dogs and I just keep thinking like one of these days like Dennis a dog is gonna jump up and knock that thing off and it's yeah and like I'm just I'm a little TI because I'm just like because Dom was tell me too he's like no you got to get real close so I'm like sitting I'm I'm rigging it I'm laying on my back and I'm right”
People who have received criticism for advocating micronutrition should not be accused of selling snake oil for recommending multivitamins—the claims are specific (improved kidney, liver, lung, pancreatic function; improved cognition; reduced anxiety; improved sleep) and supported by biomarker data, not that multivitamins cure cancer
“I mean people people can't say that um like I selling snake oil multivitamin won't I'm not saying it's going to fix your cancer Bo I'm saying it could improve your kidney liver lung pancreatic function improve your cognitive function downregulate anxiety improve your sleep I'm saying all of those things are absolute positive Prett inexpensive lever to try too right it's like that's one of the things very inexpensive and lowrisk lever”
Beef is a multivitamin—it contains exceptional micronutrient density (aligns with Paul Saladino's carnivore philosophy) making it a nutritional powerhouse that others rely on for basal nutrient coverage.
“I mean I consider beef a multivitamin like yeah I'm I'm with Paul saldino on that but it's but I do think I'm with with you on a multivitamin”
