You said that muscle building is one of the best ways it's a non skin care intervention for healthier skin in midlife. Can you kinda unpack that? Women in their kind of midlife age range. They compared them doing aerobic Exercise to strength training. The participants who were strength training actually had a thicker dermis. You know, so dermis is where our collagen sits. When you're strength training, you're increasing insulin sensitivity, and then that kinda takes a load off of your cells. You're you're decreasing inflammation as well. Your mitochondria are optimally functioning when your cells in the dermis are affected by that. They're gonna work better, they're gonna build more collagen. Aging shows up in two ways. There's the aging you can see the lines around your eyes, changing your skin, the face looking back at you in the mirror. And then there's the aging you can feel the work out that takes a little more out of you, the height that feels harder than it used to, less energy, slow recovery. That creeping sense that maybe this is what getting older means, or you just have to settle for less. I don't believe that we should.

And that's why I use timelines. Powered by Mighty Pure. A unique form of uralithin A that supports cellular health and mitochondrial renewal. What I love about Timeline is that they use their science to address both sides of aging. Their topical serum is studied to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. And improve hydration. While their daily manufactures are studied to support muscle strength and energy, getting older is inevitable. Settling for less doesn't have to be.

Timeline enables us to support our bodies as we age from the inside out. And for the first time, Timeline is giving my listeners access to their prime day deal. 30% off a one-time purchase or 35% off when you subscribe and save. Start with your skin, start with supplements, or try both. The choice is yours. And right now, they're all at timeline's lowest price of the year. Go to timeline.com forward slash doctorhyman, but don't wait. This special pricing ends October eleventh. I've been a big believer in infrared saunas for a long time, but I really came to appreciate mine when I was dealing with mold exposure over ten years ago. My sunlight and sauna became part of my daily routine at that time, and I felt better every time I used it, so I never stopped. I'm still in it almost every day for circulation recovery and managing stress. And a big part of that reason is simple. It just feels good.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
