  SPEAKER_02: Give me your back.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_02: Well, that's a big question.

  SPEAKER_02: Okay.

  SPEAKER_02: Um just what did you want to be when you when I grew up?
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_02: You grew up.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_02: What did you yes?
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_01: I actually always wanted to be in skin or skin health.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, because I had acne and I'm like, I am figuring this out.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_01: Like, what where did we go wrong?
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_01: What am I doing wrong?
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_01: And I wanted an answer for people.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I went to nursing school because my dad said I couldn't become an aesthetician.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so he's like, you have to become something else.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, okay.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_01: So I went to nursing school and then I met a dear friend who was an esthetician going back to school to do injectables.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_01: At that time, this was like 2012.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't even know what injectables were.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_01: This is kind of when it was more of a secret.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: And um people would say, like, oh, who does your lips?
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, oh, it's MAC lip gloss with this color.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I had no idea what it was.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, fast forward, got into um bedside nursing for only one year and quickly realized that is not where I belong.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_02: And what's that look like, bedside nursing?
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_01: I was on a neurotrauma unit at Osborne.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_01: And I mean, it's it's um gratifying, but I had little ones and I was taking care of a lot of people with like traumatic brain injuries.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: Um, you take that stuff home with you.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: It's gotta be difficult.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_01: And you're like, my kids are never going in a car with me ever again.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_01: That's gotta be tough.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_01: So, but it was great.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, it was it was cool to see the good stories of you know, like motorcycle accidents and they come in and their jaws are wired shut, and then three months later they're walking out.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's cool.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_01: It was beautiful at times.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_01: So I did that for one year, and then I slowly went into aesthetics as I built my clientele.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_01: And so this is 10 years ago.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_01: And so I was doing the hospital.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: I was also an um a nurse at the Intel construction, like the power plant.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_01: I was the construction nurse.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_01: How did that come a bit?
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_01: Where did you get that job from?
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: Is that like a no-show job?
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: Seriously.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_01: I would have everything from like a splinter to a heart attack.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, I'm here, guys.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: Um tacos are gonna indigestion.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: I know, I know.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_01: And then another guy's like, I have acid, like taking my hand off.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_01: So, and then some days I would go 12 hours and not see anybody.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_01: So, anyways, it was a great job because the hours I could start at 4 and 30 in the morning.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, and then I could get the girls after school.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, anyways, um, I did the those two jobs while I was building up my clientele as an injector.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_01: And then as my clientele grew, I was able to let go of those other two and then fully devote to aesthetics um after about a year doing all three.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: And then fast forward a few years, maybe about six of them, I realized I think this industry is going to have a little bit more um ruling or legislation with it.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_01: And so I felt the push to go back to school to become a nurse practitioner because I knew fast forward we may have to have a medical director overseeing everything that we do as nurses.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_01: And so in Arizona, you have full practice authority as a nurse practitioner.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: So I went back to school strictly just to own my own practice, be my own medical director.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_01: So cool.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_01: And then during that process, you have to do clinical hours, and so I was able to do roughly 700 hours with a medical doctor, and um just be at like the forefront of our health care and look at what it looks like and how we're treating people, and I really saw a huge disconnect, and not that he wasn't brilliant, I think he's like one of the smartest people I've ever met in my life, but I think there's a big disconnect between Eastern and Western medicine, yeah, and then um peptides became really hot.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: So I started looking into peptides and then realized the missing piece was understanding hormones.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_01: So all that has led me to a mode where my business partner, Heather, and I, we have opened the practice together in July.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_01: It'll be two years that we've been there.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_01: Our baby will be two.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_01: And we offer injectables, hormone optimization, peptide therapy.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_01: We're rolling out IV therapy, like methylene blue and detox IVs, really cool stuff.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: Do you do the methylene blue?
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: I haven't tried it yet.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_01: I literally just picked it up last week and I'm really excited.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_01: We were just getting all the supplies.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_01: Have you guys tried it?
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I have.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: You know what's so funny?
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: You see, it's a social media world, right?
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: You see guys like drop it in their mouth.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: I'm reading everything, and I'm like, I think we'll do water.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: And then after a while, I'm like, I don't really feel it.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: So now I'm like dropping it.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: My whole mouth looked like I just ate blue ink.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was so all day.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, you can't do that.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_02: Like, you gotta like drop it in your throat or IV.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_02: IV is gonna be the best way to do it.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, Jess, one of the ways you could tell if it's real is if your urine's blue.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_02: She's like, I got blue urine screaming from the bathroom.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: My kids are like, you guys are weird.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_02: I felt like I only did it once, uh-huh, but I definitely felt a jolt of like clarity, energy.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, is this just poison?
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm just like, good poison.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_02: It was like literally, yeah.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_02: Good poison, I guess.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_01: But what are the benefits to it?
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_01: I'm excited.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_01: Well, we're just bringing it on now.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_01: So um to help really help bring more oxygen to your red blood cells.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_01: And so that can get delivered throughout the body better, and then overall cognitive benefits.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_01: So people are doing it for longevity to lower inflammation and help improve cognitive improvement.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I felt something.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_02: Are you still?
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you gotta see you gotta see Mel Gibson.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: Did you see that on Joe Rogan?
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_01: I love him.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: And he's yeah, he's a little I like Mel.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: Either you love him or you don't.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I like Joe Rogan.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I like both of them a lot.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: But he said, This is you just watch it because he's like methylene blue and a bunch of different things helped his friends with cancer and they're cancer-free.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's right.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: That's why you got it.

  SPEAKER_01: It is interesting where people are going with can't like I'm actually not scared to get cancer if I get it.

  SPEAKER_00: But that's the thing I don't get.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_00: Like, we have to really clean before the cleaning lady comes.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not, I don't understand that concept.

  SPEAKER_02: So get your shit out and let her clean.

  SPEAKER_02: Like I just that that truly care that their business is not just a job, it's an actual career and you want to help other people and that you get excited to help other people.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I don't know if I should you text me back.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_02: Like that's not normal.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_02: A doctor doesn't text someone back.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_02: Like, that's thank you for that.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_02: And I know I annoy you on the weekends.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_02: You really don't.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_02: I actually love when you text me.

  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, and I'm just texting you back, or I need comment really.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: Jess is at a truck stop.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_00: What is going on?
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_01: Just saw her location.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_02: Just drove past me.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_00: I was driving my son to baseball.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_02: She was in a truck on it's crazy because I'll never forget that feeling.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_02: Looking up and I got like the tingle.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_02: You know, the tingle?
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't do anything, so we're good.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, gee, thanks, Jess.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, but going to, besides the hormone pellet and the hormones, tell us about peptides because that is such a huge, like you said, such a huge topic.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_01: It's such a buzzword.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_01: It's such a hot thing right now.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_02: I get excited ejecting myself.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_02: I don't even know what I'm really doing, but it's kind of fun.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_00: My son's like, Dad, I was getting the butter and a syringe hit me in the top of the head.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my God.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_02: Tell us about butter peptides.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_01: Um well, when I was looking into peptides and learning more about them, and I think too, everybody is so much more educated today because of social media than so I have a lot of times people come to me and they're like, I want to try this.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, oh, I've actually never heard of this.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_01: So please let me look it up, give me a few days and like educate myself.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_01: Um I love peptides.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_01: Peptides think of them as signals.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_01: And so the reason why I went into understanding hormones was because peptides are signals, but hormones are like the environment.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: And so if your hormones are off or not balanced or declined, these aren't gonna operate as well.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_01: And so I felt like not that they don't work, but just not as well.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_01: And so anytime somebody would come in for peptides, I'm like, okay, well, where are we at with our hormones?
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_01: That's why it's important to get blood.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_01: How's everything?
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_01: Because we used to tell people you can't out-supplement a bad diet.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_01: It's true.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_01: You can't out peptide, you know, a bad lifestyle or just an aging human.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but I think they're great.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_01: I love them.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's we have we know like maybe 10, I feel like, that are floating around on social media, but there's thousands.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_01: And so it's a really cool part of the industry that is growing, that will get a lot of attention.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_01: Um, we did just release, I think, 12 more that are gonna be more readily available when they were removed from the category two list.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_02: Um so wildly enough, you know, Gina.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_02: My friend Gina, who's okay.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_02: I went to um lunch with my girlfriends the other day, and I haven't seen the one in a while.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, oh my god, you look you're so did you just get a spray tan?
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_02: Like she was a little tanner than she said peptides.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, no way!
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_00: Like you take a tiny bit, and I went in the sun in March.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, March.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, that's it.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, you look like you just got off a yacht.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_00: I know.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it is crazy.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_02: That might be my next one.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_02: So here's so tan.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_02: I just went spray tan.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_02: But like I would sometimes I'm so that one was on the list.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_02: So that's gonna be more readily available.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_02: Let's try it.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_00: Here's a question I got.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_02: I'll inject myself.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_00: So now people are readily like educating themselves, yeah, and people are buying it on their own.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, right.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_00: But then again, you don't know what you're buying, right?
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_00: So with you, I'm assuming, right, everything you get has to be like top-notch stuff, which is so important.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there are three compounding pharmacies that I feel safest with.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_01: Um's in Texas, one's here, and one's in Colorado.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_01: They all operate.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_00: Well in the US.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_01: All in the US, yes.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_01: Um there are other so I don't think research peptides are bad, but I don't feel safe enough to prescribe them to a patient.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I might try something and put something in my own body, but because it's not, you know, regulated yet, we don't really know what the dose is.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_01: We don't really know.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_00: Is BP 157 regulated?
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_01: BPC157, yeah.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_01: What's that one?
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that one it's like a recovery drug.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_00: It's like a wolverine.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it is great.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_01: That one's amazing.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_01: You can take it orally too.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_01: So my daughter, she suffered, um, she had ulcers.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_01: And so you could take it orally, and basically it will heal everything from hole to hole.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_00: It's really so healing.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_01: And with KP.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_00: I was, but I didn't like the fact that it gave me black and blues in my stomach.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_00: I was walking around.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just like hold pressure.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_01: Hold pressure after you.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_00: Is that I no, I don't mind.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_00: Roll off.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_01: Do you have to take them in your stomach?
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_01: You can do your stomach, you can do the top of your glute.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_00: Your uh right.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_01: You can do the back of your earlobe.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_02: Can you really take them in your earlobe?
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_02: No, I'm just kidding.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_00: Walk around like an earring.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_01: The back of your arm.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_01: Or it's kind of painful, but the top of like top outer part of your thigh.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, really?
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_01: It's painful for me.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_01: But I've tried it.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_01: I think our glute, we have a lot more cushion back here.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I can't.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_01: You can do like the top of it right there.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_01: But is there a spot that hits better, like for overall feeling?
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_01: Um, it's all going systemic.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_01: But it's funny because I used to think people were crazy for saying this.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_01: But Dr.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_01: Neil Rousier, I was listening to a hormone conference that he was hosting, and he was saying for men or women to give their testosterone in their thigh because there's more blood supply, and there's not as much blood supply in your stomach tissue.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_01: And I was like, oh my gosh, there is something to this.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_01: So I guess so I tried the top thigh.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_01: It hurts, and I bruised.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_01: But I'll try it again.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_02: That's great.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_02: Your favorite peptides right now that you personally give.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_01: Give?
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_02: Or take as well.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I love growth hormone stimulating peptides.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_01: So those are gonna be your smerelin, ipimerelin, tesmerelin, or cjc one two nine five.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, one of the pharmacies that I get from, it's compounded together, the CJC, ipimeralin, and sermorelin.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_01: So having like growth hormone in your body, elevated growth hormone, is linked to just overall longevity, better health, better everything.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: Things.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: And so that hormone alone with testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone, I feel is just as important.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_02: Is that injected too?
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_01: You would inject that five out of seven nights a week.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_01: And you can cycle that.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_01: Some people say you never have to come off.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_01: I always say, like, maybe take a month break and go back on it again for three months.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_02: Should I be on that?
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_01: Um, we could try it.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_01: Helps with insulin resistance, helps with better sleep, helps with muscle definition.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_01: A lot of people think they just need to be on trzepatide or um semaglutide or retrotide, which it's great.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_01: Those are awesome, but for long term, we need to think about our muscles, our bones, like everything that we're losing.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_01: And so the growth hormone stimulate peptide helps put on muscle, helps lean mass.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_00: Um sleep, right?
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_00: Sleep, recognition.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_00: Actually, hair too, the thickness of hair.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_00: I love that.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_00: So let me ask you this.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_00: Would a I guess everybody would be cool, but I think it would be cool for you, like if you had somebody that like really did not feel great about themselves, like were maybe a little overweight, insecure.
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_00: And if you take that person from point A to all the way to like them feeling wonderful about themselves, has to be like have you done anybody that's like from point A?
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_00: I know Jess is like S, like she's getting there, right?

  SPEAKER_00: Here's a compliment to you, but you're not starting from zero.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_00: Like you were really good when you're when you saw her originally, but I'm talking somebody like all the way to the left.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.

  SPEAKER_00: You know, you might have family members like that.

• 23:53
  SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_01: Because after we've done, you know, a huge treatment and they're in my chair for two hours, and I give them the mirror and they get tears in their eyes because they're like, I look like myself again.
• 24:03
  unknown: Yeah.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_01: And it's so rewarding.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_01: But now, after going through school and understanding hormones, it's just like that because now they feel better.
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
