I think in like best case scenarios, they get up around a 0.8, 0.7, 0.8. The effect size for resistance training two times a week, 25 minutes a day for eight weeks was a 1.7 on major depressive disorder. Wow. Anybody who's a scientist out there, if they hear effect size of 1.7, they do exactly what you did. Their eyebrows go up and they go, are they sure that's right?

You don't see effect sizes like that very often. And I want to be very clear. I'm not saying do resistance training in place of SSRIs.

They hadn't trained before. Yeah, they were healthy or… I actually don't know the specific characteristics, but I knew they were coming from like not training right now. Hey, like, listen, both these things can be true. Maybe somebody needs to get an SSRI because like depressed people don't even want to get out of bed a lot of times. Right?

So getting them to the gym, even if they know it's going to help them is a hard, it's a hard swing. So maybe coupling that, but, That's just resistance training. And that affects this, right?

So I think one of the biggest revolutions we're going to see in science is the broad application of biopsychosocial across a bunch of different disciplines and stop thinking about, well, your body's a bag of meat and it's attached to your brain. And if you poke the bag, punch the bag, burn the bag, cut the bag, brain goes owie.

And I think we're going to start thinking about things much differently. And I think it's going to open up a lot more in science. And in fact, honestly, if I had to go back and do a PhD again, it would be in some sort of like psychology or whatnot. Because I just think there's so much untapped in that realm. And I was actually talking about this with somebody the other day. And it's pure anecdote.

I'm completely speculating. I have yet to see an interview with somebody who's in their 90s or 100s who sounds really stressed out. They're mostly like DGAF, right? And when you ask them what they did, most of them say, oh, I drink wine every night. The one lady I remember, she was like 110. She's like, yeah, I drink Dr. Pepper every day or whatever.
