And that's how they kind of stay youngish.

But like as you age, you keep,

doing that with the same pool of mitochondria, then you're going to get a bunch of old mitochondria mixing old stuff together.

Right.

So why wouldn't you want to like bring up new, healthy, young mitochondria into that pool?

Right.

So in my mind, when I hear mitochondrial biogenesis, I'm like aging.

Like that's the first thing I think of.

So anyways, cold exposure does that.

I do a lot of high-intensity interval Tabatas on a stationary cycle three times a week.

And I do a 10-minute, just 10, because it's efficient and I push my ass.

I push myself really hard.

That's the Tabata.

It's 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off, and it's 10 minutes.

You're maxing it.

And then I always have my sauna on preheating up.

I get it to about 189 degrees Fahrenheit.

I hop right in the sauna after my Peloton.

I literally like down a bunch of water and then I get in and then I like either read a science paper, prepare for a presentation or a podcast, or I...

hash over things in my mind.
