You're going to have to be super disciplined, but is that unless you can get a hyperbaric chamber and put it in your garage. So I priced that out, turns out that's a little out of my price range and against, turns out you're also not allowed to have a hyperbaric chamber in a residential neighborhood. That's assuming you tell them. Whatever the hell you want to in your house, as long as nobody knows, how are you going to get one in and installed pieces? I mean, do I have just one piece at a time? Yeah. Yeah. Amazon's busy. I just don't worry about these boxes. So when they say they can bring you back around, how? So your brain is plastic, right? So we eat my brain brains made out of plastic. Oh, mine is definitely made out of, dude, as much, you know, come on. I mean, I'm not an MD, but I'm pretty sure in my school is not plastic. Where is it? So yeah, so neuroplasticity is a very real thing. You can, you know, I was always told growing up that you can never, you cannot regrow brain cells, right? Once once a part of the brain is damaged, like it's damaged, there's nothing you can do about that. And it turns out that's just not true. Your brain can reroute signals. Your brain can use parts of the brain to walk that were not meant for walking. I mean, your brain is the plasticity of your brain as such that your brain can pretty much use with the exception of the midbrain, right? The part that makes your heart beat and your, it makes you breathe. The rest of your brain can pretty much be repurposed with varying levels of difficulty to override the parts of the brain that are damaged. You just how are they doing this for you? So drugs, maybe in my weed. Okay. Yeah, so it turns out that's exactly what we want to stay away from. That's the self-medicating thing. Okay. All right. That doesn't, I'm not judging. So they've got me on medaphanil, which is an insanely expensive drug. They've got me on just a handful of like a vitamin cocktail, basically, but everything's at the right doses that they need specific for brain health. There's some adaptogens in there. I mean, I have to think of handful of pills every morning, but it's working pretty well. And then there's other things that happen that we always just say, well, maybe that's just the way I am because keep in mind you don't have the ability to sense your brain, right? So if I say, you know, tap your left finger, you can tap your left finger. If I say, you know, throw the, you know, right part of the frontal lobe of your brain is you have no ability to sense your brain, right? Your brain has no pain receptors, no receptors. So you cannot, you cannot sense what's happening except through emotion, through emotion, which is the very thing that we spent all of our time learning to not deal with. So a lot of, I think the soft community, and this gets into like larger portions of operator syndrome and things like that, but a lot of the soft community is hyper attuned and hyper aware of their bodies, right? Like we spend, I mean, that was our instrument. That was the tool of our job. So we take that very seriously. And we took cognitive performance extremely seriously, but we didn't take cognitive sensation very seriously. So the way that you, the way that you sense what's going on in your head, right, is, you know, they say, it's like, it's, you know, your, all your feeling comes from your heart. Well, that, that heavy, that heavy sense in your chest has nothing to do with your heart, right? Your heart is a muscle that moves blood around. I mean, it just says nothing to do with your heart. It has to do with your brain, creating a sensation in your body. So think of it, think of it this way. Like people have phantom pain, right? They lose a limb. They have a, you know, they don't have a right foot yet their right foot hurts. That's all in the head. That's right. That is in their brain. So you don't go, Oh, well, here, here's some, here's a motrin for the pain in your right foot. The right foot's not there anymore. It's like, all right, let's figure out cognitively what's happening. So your emotions are the link to the health of your brain. Your pissed off all the time. Your brain's not healthy, right? You're, you know, as you said, your law enforcement officers, your first responders, your soft guys, you're, you're, you're, you're jaded against humanity. Well, your brain's not healthy, right? You've, you've turned those things off because how can you be jaded against humanity? And yet at the same time, go home and look at your three year old daughter who thinks that you hung the moon and be jaded against humanity. So we're, we're calling it something that it's not. So on the brain health side, we as a community have to start making it okay for other guys, you know, another men in the community to, uh, to have moments of weakness and just be like, Hey, dude, like you seem really pissed off a lot.
