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.
But on the other hand, I feel like the consumer, maybe because of podcasts like this, I think consumers are becoming more informed and discerning. They're looking for transparency in ingredients and manufacturing and quality. And I feel like that's part of Sensei's mission is to keep educating and informing our listeners so that they can make more informed choices.

Thank you. I think that may be a bug, might be an error.

Cause no, so if you, you have one, so, you know, and, um, and I appreciate you bringing that up to me and, uh, it's silly, but not really.

No, it's important to understand that. Yeah. And it's so, you know, one point where you're correct, it, it doesn't, saunas don't raise your core body temperature. Actually our core body temperature doesn't change unless you have an infection or there's something really dire happening. But when you take a cold plunge or you're in a sauna, it's, it is peripheral temperature.

It's skin temperature that's being modulated. So I think that's with infrared radiation, it is true that infrared radiation from an infrared sauna does penetrate below the skin, but it is inconclusive if that's why it's beneficial for your health. or more or less beneficial than traditional sauna.

Again, from the science and evidence, I think it's just a different mechanism of heat and radiant heat production. A little less air pollution in an infrared sauna versus a traditional charcoal sauna. But you're absolutely right. It needs to get you hot and you need to be sweating and you need to do it for 15 minutes so that your heart rate is pounding.

And I like to be a little dizzy by the time I step out of a sauna.
