[00:00:00]There's some studies that show that if you inject the frown lines with Botox, it improves depression scores. So, there's something called in this theory of embodied emotions that when we feel an emotion, whether it's sadness or happiness or other emotions that I'll get to in a moment, our face moves. And our face moving with these emotions is integral to actually feeling the emotion.

[00:00:21]So, if you inject the frown lines in the face or maybe these 11s here in the middle of your face. I've never had any Botox, but you know, I look at my face and I think, "Should I get this?" And then I read this study. If you inject the frown lines or you inject the places in your face that are being expressed when you have negative emotions, it actually improves depression scores. But if you inject the parts of your face like the laugh lines, it worsens depression scores because you can't the the theory would be you can't express the happiness as much. And so, there was a recent study that looked at that and then it also looked at and again, it's one study and I think it was a small study of 36 women, but there was a significant assuming and finding that when they injected certain areas of the face, women reported less orgasm intensity.

[00:01:02]Because >> They can't see if they're enjoying it or not. Well, because they can't express the enjoyment on their face when they're having the orgasm because you're paralyzing the facial muscles.
