"If your CAC square isn't zero and if we've ruled out real bad disease, severe disease and we'll talk about that next, you know. I just want to keep that CAC score stable. Everyone always asks. Can I make it better? Can it go down? And yes, you can. I've seen that right. I've seen it go down 1015, 20 percent. Not gonna go from 200 to zero. But if you're 200 and next year you're 200 again. Great, if you're 100 and 75, 100 and 50, probably even better. The honest truth is we don't have a lot of studies on that because it doesn't happen a lot with the traditional approach. But we do have very good studies that show that as long as it's not getting worse as long as it's not progressing and the average progression in the studies, you know, not looking at this type of population. When you just look across the population, on average, it goes up somewhere between 15 and 20, maybe 25 percent per year. Okay, most people. So I tell people if it's going up less than five percent, which is sort of the margin of error of measurement. Anyway, we're doing good. You're at low risk of a cardiac event and. What you're doing is working and if it's not. Then we have to figure out why ye and that's an important thing. We can't just assume that if you're doing a good low Carb carnivore diet that you can put your head in the sand and ignore it. "
