Well, it's a great pleasure to have you on the show Mark, to talk about your experience and knowledge in the field of hypertension and tie in Telomere biology into that. And I know we've had some discussions before at meetings, and I'm always fascinated to get your take on cardiovascular disease from an integrative and sort of aging standpoint. So I just like to get started by asking you how your approach integrates sort of aspects of aging Telomere biology into the diagnosis and management of hypertension and risk stratification, in your daily practice?
