And then finally, let me walk over here and show you this. We have stayed with red light therapy. We weren't certain whether it justified the time. I do this three times a week for 12 minutes. It uses both red light and near infrared. It's good for skin health, for healing, for mitochondrial health. Red light therapy has been shown to be useful for depression when it's exposed the forehead. So there's all kinds of things that just has general health benefits. And because I do work out quite a bit, I'm pretty active, giving a little boost to my recovery. So this one, we feel like the evidence is there to support doing this, even though we can't directly measure its effect because it's compounded upon other things we do. I'm very happy with the progress we've made looking at my damage. I think when I started, I was in the 98th percentile. My skin age was like 64 on one of the markers. On my recent measurement, I was between 37 and 42, so had significant improvements in the measurement.
