Open heart surgery? Yes. Right? Waking you up in the morning. Waking you up in the morning. Hey, I have a kid who needs a placebo. I can numb that thing and give my kids some placebo ice. That's great. Definitely can work for pain control because as soon as you're numb, you can't feel anything. But what's going to happen when you pull that thing off? We're going to come back.

So we have found that we have much better. And again, instead of saying that's bad, we're turning out and saying we have so many better tools now to manage congestion because that's really what we're trying to do with ice and healing is we're trying to stop swelling, right? But is swelling a mistake? No. By the body. And the chances are it's not really a mistake.

Again, two and a half million years of evolution. This stuff's pretty awesome. But what we know is failure to move and evacuate that swelling is a problem. So when we get people on non-fatiguing muscle contraction NMES devices like the H-Wave or something like that, we find that we can actually decongest and keep moving in controlled ways.

And we have much better clinical outcomes than we do if we ice.

Yes, I do.

Yes, I do.

Whenever I can, you know, and sometimes it's short sessions and sometimes it's super hot sessions. And sometimes I just get hot and cold a couple of times. And I try, like you said earlier, I'm not after some specific adaptation response. The sauna is a great way for us to chill out and hang out. And sometimes we're bored and we got to make dinner or move on. So, you know, I try to sauna.

If there's anything I do, I sauna a lot. Bigger the engine, the bigger the brakes. And for me, it's such a big brake.
