Be Organic Podcast – Season 3, Episode 3. Dr. Lauren and Dr. Dana Brindisi: HyperBaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Thanks to Justin Beiber, Tim Tebow, and an increased number of athletes, hyperbaric chambers have been the talk of the health and wellness world recently. What are these chambers? What do they help with? They promote increased oxygen, sharpening the brain and providing more energy, and helping heal tissue and nerves.

Put under pressure in a hyperbaric chamber, your red blood cells can bind more oxygen then they would normally at regular room air. That helps tissue heal and repair faster/better! The brain utilizes all of the oxygen that we take in, so HBOT can help greatly with treating neurological conditions. HBOT also helps the tissue of the body get more oxygen, aiding in the healing process.

We sat down with Dr. Lauren and Dr. Dana Brindisi, Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologists sisters, to talk about this mysterious chamber, how it can help people, and more.

Landon: Be Organic listeners. Hey guys, what is going on? This is Landon. So good to be chatting with you guys again. We actually have the pleasure of having Dr. Lauren Brindisi and her sister Dr. Dana Brindisi both on the show again. They were on our show last season, just brought some really great knowledge. I’m gonna give you guys their background again. But today we are gonna be talking a lot about the hyperbaric oxygen therapy. I’m a huge proponent of this. I use it every single week. It’s helped me in a lot of ways. I’m not gonna spoil the show, but this is something we’ve never talked about here on the Be Organic podcast. So I’m really, really excited to jump in. Let me give our guests their background just so you guys can hear just what they’ve done and all that they’ve accomplished. They’re very, very smart and I love to listen to them. The Brindisi sisters both found their love for helping others when they were younger, and this desire to help others only grew stronger in college. They both pursued a path in functional neurology and chiropractic neurology, and now work side by side at Carolina Functional Neurology Center right here in Charlotte. They’re both board-certified chiropractic neurologists, and Dr. Dana is also a certified functional medicine practitioner. Dr. Dana opened Carolina Functional Neurology Center in 2018 to provide the Carolinas with a cutting-edge approach to healthcare. A holistic treatment center that focuses on finding the root cause of your symptoms and provides you with the treatment and tools to live your most functional life. Throughout Dana’s career thus far, she’s had the opportunity to work with thousands of patients in a clinical setting, including myself, members of the U.S.A. Women’s Hockey Team, several NHL players and the U.S. Ski Jumping team. Now we have the utmost pleasure of having them both on the show today.

So I’m really excited for this episode. As I told you guys, I’m a huge proponent of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or what we like to refer to as HBOT. I know that’s a fun word, HBOT. I do this every single week. So Dr. Lauren, Dr. Dana, thank you so much for coming on the show. We’re so excited to have you again.

Dr. Lauren: Yeah. Thank you so much for having us. We’re excited to be here. 

Landon: Awesome.

Dr. Dana: Yes. Thank you.

Landon: You guys are fantastic. I know that, but for our listeners who have not maybe heard our previous recording, or if they haven’t heard about you, just tell us about yourselves and just kind of your line of work. 

Dr. Lauren: Yeah. So Dr. Dana and I, we are both doctors of chiropractic, but our post-doctoral training is in clinical neuroscience and functional medicine. We both practice functional neurology. We have two locations. I am here in the Charlotte office and Dr. Dana is in the Raleigh office. We work with patients of a variety of types, but usually across the neurological spectrum I’m dealing and ranging from kids with developmental disorders to concussions, vestibular conditions, degenerative conditions, kind of all the way across the board. And we do active neurological rehab in our office. We have a variety of modalities that we use to actually activate and exercise a variety of brain regions for each individual patient, and we both do have hyperbaric oxygen chambers in both of our locations.

Landon: That’s awesome. Thank you for that. I’m really excited to talk about hyperbaric oxygen therapy. One, because I had really never heard about it until I came to you guys and I was really wanting some clarity, some mental clarity, a little bit more energy, some more stamina. And, you know, I just kind of felt like I was having maybe some brain fog if you will. I’ve been doing the hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber for months now, and I can really, really see the difference. So let’s talk about that. Tell our listeners if they’ve never heard about it, what it is, and we’ll go from there.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Dr. Dana: So some people might know about hyperbaric oxygen therapy, but they might not know that they know. A lot of people have heard of nitrogen toxicity from scuba diving, and so a lot of people know that when scuba divers come up and they have this problem they go into a chamber. That chamber is hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The difference between that and what we do in our office is our chambers are mild hyperbaric chambers. So the amount of pressure that you’re under is a lot less compared to a chamber that you would see in a hospital. Ours are filled with ambient air, and then we use supplemental oxygen, versus a chamber that you would see in the hospital where they fill it with one hundred percent oxygen. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a tube or a tank that you kind of go into. Ours, you can lay down in. They’re very comfortable. They are soft chambers, so it’s not a hard shell, and you get zipped up into the chamber. You actually have to be inside and then the chamber pressurizes. In the first few minutes of being in the chamber and during the therapy, you’re gonna feel that pressure change just as if you were to dive down into a deep end of a pool. Or if anybody has been scuba diving, you understand that you have to clear your ears and things like that. So you feel that pressure change a little bit in the beginning. And then for us, you lay down. Our sessions are anywhere from one to two hours typically, and you just get to hang out in there. Most of our patients are getting supplemental oxygen, so we’re basically pumping in one hundred percent O2 through an oxygen concentrator so patients can wear a mask. This is just allowing us to provide you guys with more oxygen than we could ever carry at regular atmospheric pressure, or without a mask. The therapy in general is really comfortable. Most of our patients go in, you know, some people work in there, some people nap in there, some people watch YouTube in there. It just kind of depends on what you want to do for that hour that you don’t have anybody else around, and you can just kind of hang out. Most people enjoy it. We have a lot of people that ask about claustrophobia and stuff because you are contained in this chamber. Really most of the time people do pretty well. It’s a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. If anyone’s ever had an MRI, if you could handle that, you could handle the hyperbaric chamber a hundred times over, so it’s really pretty easy. 

Landon: Yeah, no, absolutely. It’s funny, I was going for an hour and then I opted to do two hours, first to make sure I was good with it, and then just kind of, you know, I just feel like the more time I spend in there, the better I feel. Also, it helps me like you just said, it’s the only time in my entire life where I’m literally by myself because we have five kids and they sleep with me. They’re like literally always with me. So I’ve opted for two hours really just to escape them. But no, it’s been fantastic and just kind of like what you said, you go into this soft tube and it’s almost like because you’re pressurizing it, it kind of blows up like a bubble almost. It doesn’t get super big, but it does definitely expand. When you’re laying in there, you can raise your arm up and it doesn’t touch the ceiling, so you have a lot of room in there. I don’t get claustrophobic, but I can understand why someone might have that concern. After doing it, I really don’t think that it’s a big issue. You know, and it’s funny like you said, I’ve brought my laptop in there before. I’ve gotten work done in there before. It’s awesome. For me, it’s two hours of time that I just get to do really whatever I want uninterrupted, and also I’m healing in the process. Let’s talk a little bit about that. How does it work, and really how does it help? How does it help to have more oxygen in your system? 

How HBOT Puts More Oxygen in Your System

Dr. Lauren: Just like Dr. Dana said, that like where I talked about how the tube blows up and you get put under pressure. When you get put under pressure, that actually allows our red blood cells to bind more oxygen than we otherwise would be able to at regular room air. When that happens, that’s gonna help tissue heal and repair better. So in our case when we’re dealing with patients who are dealing with a variety of chronic conditions, neurological conditions, we know that the brain utilizes the most amount of oxygen that we take in. For all of us in general, we’re utilizing all of the oxygen that we take in. So when you’re trying to live your life and then you’re also trying to heal and repair, and that goes for patients that we see, that goes for everybody on a regular basis dealing with a variety of things that can cause oxidative stress, the chamber allows the opportunity to dissolve more oxygen into the tissue, and help it heal and repair faster. And then the other thing is there’s a whole other variety of benefits that we’ll kind of talk about as the podcast goes on. But the biggest thing is it’s allowing our tissue to get more oxygen, and we need adequate amounts of oxygen for any tissue in our body to heal and repair.

Landon: Yep. I totally agree. When I go in there, it’s almost like a de-stress thing. I go in there, and it’s not like almost instant, but I definitely feel it kind of throughout the week. I just feel less stressed, and it doesn’t mean that I have less stress in my life. I guess my body’s just more equipped to handle it, and I feel more clear, like more mentally clear. Does that make sense? 

Dr. Lauren: Yeah, I agree. I mean I enjoy going in the chamber when I have the opportunity. All of us deal with stress on a day-to-day basis, and that’s a huge cause for any of us to feel run down.

Landon: Yep.

Dr. Lauren: I feel like the chamber is a great way… I’m sure part of it is like you said, we can get in the chamber and you have a minute to yourself. A whole hour or two to do something just devoted to yourself to kind of get away from all the hustle and bustle. As Landon knows, the chamber in the Charlotte office, there are no windows, there’s nothing. You’re just in a room. You can turn the lights off, and you could be totally in the dark if you wanted to, so there’s that added benefit. I feel like when I get out of the chamber, I definitely have more energy. I sleep better, and I feel like my mental clarity, I just feel sharper. So it’s just a great tool. Even just a wellness tool for sure.

Landon: Yeah, absolutely. You know, it’s funny, we have a relationship with Tim Tebow. He’s our brand ambassador. I’ve actually talked to him about the hyperbaric chamber. He used to sleep in one every night. I know that Justin Bieber sleeps in his hyperbaric chamber at night.

Dr. Dana: Everybody mentions Bieber.

Landon: Yes, he kind of popularized this I guess. I’m hearing more and more that UFC fighters and different athletes are really spending a ton of time in the hyperbaric chamber. So I guess talk to us about the type of patients that you see, and how it could be helpful for them.

 

Who is HBOT For And What Does It Treat

Dr. Dana: Yeah, so there are a lot of different benefits. A lot of times we talk solely about the extra oxygen that you’re getting, and because it’s getting dissolved into your tissue and into the plasma of your blood you can actually circulate way more oxygen. That is usually exponentially more helpful for any type of condition, any type of healing, any type of wellness. Because Landon I’m sure, as you guys know, I’ve probably talked to a lot of people about mitochondrial dysfunction. There’s a lot of research being done, and it’s kind of looking like that’s the baseline for disease, and aging, and all of that stuff. But the hyperbaric chamber has a lot of benefits in addition to providing more oxygen. Actually the act of getting into the chamber and going out of pressure, and getting out, is causing something called neovasculation where you’re actually producing new capillaries. You’re building new blood vessels as you go in and out of pressure. You’re increasing the size and density of your mitochondria. For those of you that don’t know, the mitochondria is the powerhouse of your cell. It’s what’s creating energy at a cellular level for us to just be how we are right now. But then also we need excess energy if we want to heal from anything. It can heal nerves, it can heal wounds. It actually migrates stem cells, which is a huge area of research now. It can have anti-inflammatory properties, it can have antibacterial properties. So when we talk about who goes into the chamber, we’re putting people in there for neurological conditions, but we also see people with autoimmune conditions and different toxicities. Whether they have gut issues or mold toxicity, or Lyme disease, or neurodegenerative conditions. There are other practices. We don’t really do this in ours, but people use hyperbaric oxygen therapy for cancer and all of that stuff. Because the benefit is systemic and it affects your whole body, and in addition to the oxygen you get all of these other things happening at a cellular level. It is just a wonderful therapy. We can use it for so many different conditions. But also you gotta make sure you’re going to somebody that understands because not every person with every condition should be going into the chamber.

Landon: Right.

Dr. Dana: Those treatment plans and everything look different for everybody.

Landon: Yeah, absolutely. Now you guys are much smarter than me, but correct me if I’m wrong. If your mitochondria isn’t operating to its fullest potential, you really can’t heal, right? Because that’s really what’s allowing ourselves to regenerate and to heal. Is that a correct statement?

Dr. Dana: It’s gonna be difficult.

Landon: Yeah, exactly. You know, if we’re able to pump more oxygen into the system, help our mitochondria, then obviously healing can happen, right?

Dr. Dana: Mm-hmm. Your mitochondria does a lot of different things, and there are a lot of little nitty gritty pathways that are in there. When you go into the hyperbaric chamber, the benefit that you’re having is on what’s called your electron transport chain, where we’re actually dumping more oxygen at the end of that cycle so that you can produce more energy. There are a lot of other therapies that we use or supplements. For example, CoQ10 is a supplement that actually works on pathways in your mitochondria. Or red light actually works on pathways in your mitochondria. So there are a lot of different things that you can utilize to do that. Combining those things are also really good for people. There’s a lot of research being done on mitochondrial health and mitochondrial dysfunction, and kind of what that means for us as human beings in disease and in health.

HBOT Benefits for DNA

Landon: Yeah, absolutely. Any other reasons why someone would use the HBOT or any other conditions maybe that we haven’t discussed yet that they would use it for? 

Dr. Dana: Lauren, you wanna take that one?

Dr. Lauren: Sure. I mean, Dr. Dana touched on a bunch of them. I’m not sure if I have anything to add. They’re used for a variety of reasons. Anywhere from in the hospital for wound healing, diabetic neuropathies, burn victims. Now kind of what we’re seeing and what we’re doing with some of these soft chambers is they’re being utilized for a whole variety of conditions. Because it’s globally affecting the body, right? I think we’re gonna see more and more as continued research comes out with the chamber and these added benefits on a cellular level. You kind of look at it a little more globally in terms of how is that helping any type of tissue heal and repair. Then the other thing that I don’t think we’ve touched on yet is what they’ve been looking at in terms of the DNA, and what we’re dealing with the benefits of the chamber. For actually elongating a part of our DNA called telomeres, which we understand the telomeres shorten as we age. They’re actually showing that the benefit of the chamber in terms of actually elongating telomeres. I think that’s a huge aspect of research right now that’s really being pioneered in terms of understanding anti-aging, and how we can actually do things to reverse that and talking about, “Okay, we have our biological age, but what is our age actually in terms of the health of our DNA and our tissue?” That’s a totally different way to look at this versus just very condition-specific. I think there are benefits to the chamber that are gonna be far more reaching for everybody in a sense.

Dr. Dana: I think to see more people, Landon, that are using it like you are for wellness. Because I mean you guys started Clean Juice because you wanted people to be healthy, right? A lot of things that we do in healthcare in general are from a therapeutic perspective because we’ve already gotten ourselves into a situation that we need to kind of crawl out of. Whereas I think things like nutrition and hyperbaric oxygen and all of these different things that we have to offer can be super beneficial for people who don’t have any sort of issue, but they want to stay healthy. They want to maybe prevent themselves from developing a disease, or aging more gracefully, or just better in general. I think we’re gonna find that out with the research. I think just wellness, in general, would be a great benefit for a lot of people. If we could kind of spread the word. 

Landon: Yeah, no, I mean that’s like you said. That’s exactly what I’ve enjoyed about it. I don’t have a specific condition. I didn’t suffer from any kind of brain trauma or concussion or anything like that. I mean, maybe I did when I was younger. Who knows? I think that for me it’s definitely been more about the health and wellness side of it. I just feel better. I want to operate at my highest level, right? At the level that God wants me to operate at. If I’m not doing all the things that I can do to get there, then I feel like I’m kind of cheating myself. Things like making sure my diet’s on point and exercising, getting the right amount of sun, drinking the right amount of water, adding in the hyperbaric chamber, and some of these other therapies I have found have really, really helped. I’m in my late thirties, but I feel like I’m probably in the best, I wouldn’t even say shape, but just the best overall kind of health and wellness point I’ve ever been at in my life, you know? And I’m getting older. I’m approaching 40 and I feel better than I ever have. I think it’s for some of these reasons.

Dr. Dana: Your telomere age is probably 22. 

Landon: Yeah, exactly. Correct me if I’m wrong, and you guys might not know this story, but doesn’t Terrell Owens sleep in one every night just for that specific purpose? Have you guys heard that? He was doing this back when he was playing in the NFL, and I think he continues to do it. If you look at Terrell Owens, I mean, gosh, he’s probably in his mid-forties to, who knows? I think he’s maybe even 50, but he looks like he’s 30 years old. I mean, just absolutely amazing physical health. I think that the hyperbaric chamber is one of the reasons why.

Dr. Dana: That very well could be. I haven’t heard for sure, but I do know that there are a ton of, as we mentioned, celebrities and high-level athletes that use these regularly for I’m sure a whole host of benefits. 

Side Effects of HBO Chambers

Landon: Yeah, absolutely. Let’s talk about side effects or somebody who shouldn’t use it. Anything like that, that our listeners could learn about.

Dr. Dana: Yeah, so again with our chambers because they’re mild hyperbaric, the side effects are pretty minimal. When we talk about more of a hard chamber that you would go into in a hospital setting, again that’s under a lot more pressure with one hundred percent oxygen, things become a little bit trickier in that regard. We do get concerned about central nervous system oxygen toxicity, or pulmonary toxicity. And then we talked about nitrogen toxicity where you really see that from scuba diving, and the chamber is actually helping with that. When we talk about mild hyperbaric, our chambers go up to 1.3 atmospheric pressure, which is the equivalent of diving down anywhere from 10 to 12 feet underwater, give or take. Really with that pressure change, the biggest side effect that we are concerned about is something called barotrauma, and mostly odic trauma. So we’re looking at trauma to the vasculature in the ear. That sounds really scary, but it’s kind of the equivalent to if you’ve ever broken a blood vessel in your eye, or if you know somebody where it looks funky, but really it’s a little bit irritating and that’s kind of it. It will naturally heal. We’re not under enough pressure really at 1.3 atmospheres to worry about any sort of rupture of the eardrum or things like that, that we would be concerned about. If you’re scuba diving at a deep level or you are going into a hard chamber that is at a higher atmosphere of pressure, those are the biggest things that we look out for. We combat that by our staff putting people into the chamber and we’re going very, very slow. We’re monitoring you guys the entire time. We give you walkie-talkies so you have communication with us. Really the first indication that you might have an issue is a little bit of pain in your ear. And then we’re dialing that back so we’re not pressurizing the system too quickly and we’re allowing you a moment to clear your ears, or we’re just kind of holding you at an atmospheric pressure and allowing your body to spontaneously clear that before we bring you up even further. Which, I don’t know if you’ve experienced any sort of difficulty clearing your ears. Some people do, some people don’t, and we don’t really know until you get in. 

Landon: Yeah. I have never experienced any difficulty with it. I mean, you definitely notice it. So I’ll give the listeners my experience in doing it when I go in. So I go in, they zip it up, and they start to pressurize it. It’s a pretty slow process. It’s not like it’s pressurized immediately, and that’s intentional, right? You want your body and your ears, and you know, everything you get kind of used to the pressure going up. They’re with you kind of the whole time making sure as the pressure goes up that you’re able to clear your ears. If you guys have ever been on an airplane, it’s kind of the same thing. Sometimes you gotta kind of either hold your nose and blow it just to clear that pressure from your ears or chew some gum. I’ve heard that helps too. My ears, because I’ve done it so many times now, I can do it without having really to do anything. I think because my body’s kind of used to it at this point. But it’s just like a plane. Going up in a plane and coming down. It’s the same kind of feeling. Or if you’ve ever swam kind of deep at the deep end of a pool, it’s the same deal, like where you have to clear your ears. I mean, that’s basically it. So once you’re pressurized in there, it feels like you’re just kind of literally sitting in there hanging out, working, doing whatever. Then on the way down, they come back in and they let the pressure release. And again, it’s a slower process just to make sure everything’s safe and that you come down okay. You kind of clear your ears again. And so that’s basically it. It’s pretty easy. You know, I was maybe a little intimidated the first time I did it just because I’d never done it before. I’ve actually been scuba diving. I’ve been on airplanes, so I kind of knew what to expect. But I think sometimes if you’ve never done anything before you can be a little intimidated, but once you do it the first time, it’s like, “Oh this is easy. I’ve done this hundreds of times in my life.”

Dr. Dana: Yeah, and the chambers, like you said, there are a lot of people that have these and they put them in their house. So these mild chambers, these soft chambers are really meant for at-home use. There are dual valves on them, so technically you could get yourself in and out of it. We don’t do that at the office. We take care of that for you guys as our patients. It’s a relatively simple process. To answer the second half of your question about people who maybe shouldn’t go into the chamber. There are some contraindications. We look at, under pressure we can kind of up-regulate some medications and we’re really looking at some very specific medications for cancers and things like that. Like I said, we don’t really treat those patients in our office necessarily, but if you’ve ever been on the medication or whatever, we pay attention to that. Women in their first trimester of pregnancy should not go into the chamber, but actually, they’ve shown some really great benefits for pregnancy and fetal development post-first trimester. Then there are some vascular conditions and things like that either in your health history or currently that we would look at before we would allow you to go into the chamber. So there are a few, but for the most part these mild chambers are really, really safe. Like we talked about, people enjoy going in them, take a nap, do your work, do some meditation. Whatever works for you. So we love it.

Landon: I love it too. I’ve been traveling a little bit here lately and I haven’t been in there in a couple weeks and I’m just listening to this podcast, like listening to you guys talk about, and I’m like I gotta get in there right now. I gotta get back in there. I’ve really loved it, and it’s funny, we’re always looking for great health and wellness tips here. Different things to just talk about how we can help people improve their lives. For me, I love talking about things that I love and that I do, and so to have you guys on here and to be talking about this is great because I really believe in it. I can really attest to how much it’s helped me optimize how I think I want to live. So I appreciate it and it’s been awesome to have you guys back on the show.

Dr. Lauren: Yeah, thank you so much for having us. It’s great to talk about these things. We’re just as passionate and we’re so thankful for you guys and everything you’re doing with Clean Juice to provide healthy options for people out there. So thank you. 

Landon: You’re welcome. Our sign-off question is, can you tell our listeners how you say you live your lives in the best way organically? I’d love to just kind of hear your perspective on that. You can take it a lot of different ways, but we’d love to ask that question here on the Be Organic Podcast.

The Brindisi Sisters’ Tips For Living Life Organically

Dr. Lauren: Me? 

Dr. Dana: Yeah. Mm-hmm. You go first. 

Dr. Lauren: Okay, I would say I think the biggest thing is really learning to listen to yourself. Listen to your body. Learn these types of things to understand what are things you can do on a regular basis to optimize your function and live your best life. I think that ultimately starts with listening to yourself and learning what you need to do and do what’s right for you.

Landon: That’s good. 

Dr. Dana: I love that. Mine was gonna be — you guys can’t see my pin right now — but mine was gonna be, “be kind to yourself”. Sometimes we’re not as good to ourselves as we are to everybody else, and especially that little voice inside your head. I feel like when you’re trying to live an organic or healthy lifestyle, or make some changes or crawl out of a hole of dealing with some sort of health issue, or otherwise, sometimes we can be really negative. I think that in order to live as organically as possible, you really gotta be kinder to yourself. And my pin says, “be kind to your mind.”

Landon: I love it. It makes a ton of sense. I think sometimes, especially as parents, and folks who are employed and have jobs, we can end up putting so many people in front of us, right? But then if we’re running ourselves down, if we’re not optimized, if we’re not really running at our full capacity, then we’re actually kind of short-changing the people who are around us. I know that if I’m tired and cranky and burned out and working too much, I’m not the best dad I can be. I’m not the best leader that I can be. So if I don’t take that time to invest in myself, I’m actually cheating the people around me. It’s kind of the opposite of how we think. It’s like, “Oh, I’ve gotta, you know, do everything for my kids.” Of course, kids take up a lot of our time and they take up a lot of energy, but if we’re not reinvesting back into us, then what are we doing?

Dr. Lauren: Exactly. Can’t drink from an empty glass.

Landon: That’s very well said. Well, listen I know we’ve got a lot of listeners right here in Charlotte. We’ve got a lot of listeners in Raleigh. Tell us where our listeners can find you guys either socially, or if they want to come check you out. If they want to even test out the hyperbaric chamber, tell us how we can get in touch with you.

Dr. Dana: Yeah, absolutely. Our website is carolinafnc.com. We have a lot of information out there about what we do, and we’ve got a pretty decent social media platform, so you can find us on Instagram. You can find us on Apple Podcasts. You can find us on Facebook, you can find us on YouTube. We put out a lot of content to build awareness for neurological conditions and for other options for people out there who maybe want to try something different than medication, or they don’t even want to try the medication. All of those platforms you can find us at Carolina Functional Neurology. We hope that we can help as many people as possible.

Landon: Awesome. I just looked up your handle on Instagram and it’s @carolina_functional_neurology. Good stuff on here. Some great content. I love how you guys do this. So listeners, go check ’em out. If you’re here in Charlotte, give their office a call. Get in that hyperbaric chamber. I’m telling you, it’s gonna be worth it. Pretty cost effective and I absolutely love it. Thank you guys so much for coming on the show to talk about this. I think it’s been an awesome show and it’s something, again, we’ve never talked about and we love bringing these things to our listeners. So we couldn’t have done it without you guys.
