And she's also shown that it really, in combination with cognitive behavioral therapy, dramatically improves a battery of tests for major depressive disorder.

I mean, these people, just to give you a sense of how potent this effect was,

If you, there's a Hamilton scale that like this battery of tests that's done to measure, to basically assess people's mood, their depressive symptoms.

If you have like a three point change that's considered clinically relevant, these people were having a 16 point change after doing cognitive behavioral therapy, which is talk therapy with the heat bed.

So with the sauna exposure.

All this is to say, to get back to the clip of the person, the mom saying, why do I want to be a mom when it's like so hard, basically, you're dealing with these hard moments, is that, you know what?

Life is full of hard moments.

Whether or not you have children, it's going to be full of different kinds of hard moments, right?

And so the reality is, is you're missing out on that joy and the relationship that, who's going to take care of you when you're older too, right?

I mean, there's all sorts of reasons to have

A family, I promise you, the best thing ever.

life-changing i i would do 20 if i could like i said earlier it's patrick it's my it's my biggest regret in life is not having at least another child you know and and i again i try not to focus on that regret because that's the wrong mindset right you don't want to be focusing on the negative because it's the same thing is it too late i mean it's not too late it's not too late and i may be trying to explore opportunities but you know it's sort of a personal yeah i would know i get it question but

But what I will say is that for people out there that are younger and they have that mentality where they're like, I don't want kids.

I don't feel like I want to be a mom or a dad.

Mostly moms because they're the ones that expire earlier in terms of being able to have kids later in life.

I mean, there's options out there now like freezing down your eggs.

Very important, I think.

I think that's like if you're one of those women right now that are like, I'm never going to want to have kids.

I would say to you, like you may change your mind in 10 years and it will be very heartbreaking if you don't take steps right now to make sure that you can have children later in life, you know, because you might not be able to.

So, um, but there's always adoption and stuff.
