We've skewed so far on one side in healthcare in the United States in general that we've replaced common sense things with a pill, a prescription, a surgery, or a device. And I don't think we need to do that.

Well, you look great for 49. So whatever you're doing, keep it up. So the skin's an amazing organ, just like you said. It's the largest organ, the largest dynamic organ we have in our body. You have new skin, brand new skin every 28 days. So the surface of your skin turns over about every month.

Now the stem cells, which are in the lowest portion of our epidermis, remain and they generate the skin cells, but you have brand new skin the same way you have new gut lining every 28 days. It's amazing for many reasons because the skin is one of the few organs that can regenerate because of this. So you can grow new skin. You can test things on skin.

If your skin gets injured, it will regenerate and heal itself, whereas many other organs cannot do that. And because of this, it also allows us to use it as a model platform for studying diseases of all kinds. So skin's an amazing organ.

Yeah, that's a great question. So in order to understand that, we have to just look at the structure of the skin. So the skin generally is three layers, the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous fat. And the dermis is where most of the biologic activity resides. That's where our blood vessels are. That's where the nerves that innervate sensation and movement reside.

That's where our hair follicles, oil glands, and sweat glands reside. So stress has two components. There's what we call acute stress, meaning stress that happens within a short period of time. And then there's long-term stress or chronic stress. And both have different processes in the skin. And you see the results of stress
