Well, you know, I mean, our partners are our hotels, Four Seasons and the Ritz Carlton. I think the one that I get the biggest kick out of are the IV drips at the pool. Yeah. They look sexy and it, and I think there's a fascination with pumping your body full of stuff, but there's no evidence that it works.

You know, my team of scientists and researchers, we've poured over the literature, trying to find some, some kernel of truth for why that might make someone feel better. And our best, most informed conclusion is it's because you're well hydrated. afterwards. You got pumped full of a liter of water and of course you're going to feel better.

But there's no evidence that being injected with B12 is necessary or beneficial for most people. So that's one. Another one where I'm really skeptical are peptide injections. And I don't know if you've turned around your cosmetics over the past couple of years, but most cosmetics nowadays have proprietary peptides.

Peptides are short chain amino acids, you know, some building blocks of any protein. And on one hand, they're being studied as a new type of drug, as a vehicle for delivering drugs because they're so powerful and so potent. And on the other hand, labs are whipping this stuff up. Cosmetic companies are whipping this stuff up in the lab. I can't find a toxicology report online.

And then they put this and they bottle up in a cream and you can put it on your face. And yes, you have outcomes. It will reduce your wrinkles, but at what cost? And that's what concerns me, is that in the pursuit of, call it anti-aging or looking younger or living longer, we're willing to make... sacrifices where we don't know the full cost of it. And again, my background was in proteomics.

I studied proteins, peptides and amino acids and all the things that they do in the human body. And they're so powerful. So the way that a peptide works is it triggers so many cellular pathways that we scientists don't even understand what cellular pathways and signaling pathways have been triggered by the peptide. It's a little bit of magic at the moment and not entirely scientific.

Yeah. And plus many of them are proprietary. So in Sensei's work, as we look at skincare and try to find evidence-based skincare products for our customers, there's been so many brands we've said no to because they concocted this chemical in their lab. There's no published peer-reviewed toxicology report that we can stand behind, that we can believe in. And Yeah, and I think that's unfortunate.
