Yeah, ran into Keith, 28 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.319 ran into a bunch of books and here we are. 29 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:27.760 Yeah. 30 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.280 And speaking of resources, they got links to a lot 31 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.000 of the resources they relied on at resore wellness dot org. 32 00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.040 I saw you interviewed Congressman Warren Davidson and how did 33 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.200 he end up get being interviewed by you guys since 34 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.239 you're focusing on fitness on the website. 35 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.079 It was interesting because my wife and I visited DC 36 00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.120 last month and got to meet with Warren and his 37 00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:46.920 chiefest staff. 38 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:47.640 He's a great guy. 39 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.920 I had a great conversation and his approach to COVID 40 00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.560 and what happened afterwards in the in the fact that 41 00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:58.439 there were these shutdowns and managed. He was extremely you know, 42 00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:01.799 emotional about that, just like we were, you know, And 43 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:04.239 so I said to him, heck with you know, talking 44 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.280 to you about political stuff, I'd love to talk to 45 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:09.080 you about health and wellness. So it was a great conversation. 46 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.360 I encourage people to go listen to the podcast. 47 00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.599 Yeah, go to story restore Wanness dot org and if 48 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:15.479 you've got a link to Spotify, that's where it is, 49 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:17.479 so you can get it multiple different ways wherever you 50 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.400 find your podcast. That's it, all right, Well, today we're 51 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.319 not going to talk about food so much or exercise 52 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.960 so much. We've been on those topics before. But something 53 00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:29.639 that I know a lot of people, including I deal 54 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:30.520 with stress. 55 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:32.879 I mean it's. 56 00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:37.960 It's easily the biggest thing beyond nutrition and exercise. Nutrition 57 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.120 and exercise are your biggest levers, right, I mean, what 58 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.280 goes into your body and what you do with it. 59 00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.879 But after that, the next biggest is stress. And you know, 60 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.039 there are multiple kinds of stress, especially in today's world. 61 00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:51.159 You got the stress of you know, what's going on 62 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.000 with the water, the air, the weather this week, you 63 00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:57.719 know with the huge you know, temperature spikes and the humidity, 64 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.599 so that all puts pressure on your body and has 65 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.840 side effects that are not exactly healthy. 66 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:05.560 Well, and I think it's stressed though, I mean I 67 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.759 think more long lines of cognitive stress. That means I 68 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.120 am stressed out by what I do for a living. Well, 69 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:13.680 you just showed me the stack of stuff you got 70 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:15.759 to read. It's like holy cavi. 71 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:15.680 You know. 72 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:17.759 And trust me, in that ream of paper that I 73 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.240 just showed you, there's not a whole lot of good news. 74 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.280 And so that's what I mean, that's where the clicks 75 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:24.719 come from. That's what people are interested in. You know, 76 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:26.439 Oh my god, what's going to happen? Oh my god? 77 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:30.800 What it's Usually it's something terrible. And you know, from 78 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:34.879 my perspective, I get stressed out over government action and 79 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.120 intrusions into my civil liberties and where they're spending money, 80 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.319 and the fact that my own labor is being used 81 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.639 against me in so many ways. And I mean, this 82 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:44.759 festers in the back of my mind twenty four to seven. 83 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.039 I can't do a damn thing about it except try 84 00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:49.520 to raise awareness and get people to pursue a different 85 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.280 political path or make a different choice when it comes 86 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.400 to that kind of thing, you know. But it's like 87 00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:58.199 a heavy weight, you know, And the fact that I 88 00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.520 cannot avoid it. I'm not by by by virtue of 89 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.759 what I do for a living. I'm forced to pay attention. 90 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:06.000 I can't take a break. 91 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:08.400 Well, just the fact that you've talked about it for 92 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.439 two minutes now means it's really front of mind, and 93 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.319 is cause it always it always it has got to 94 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.600 be causing, you know, the mental stress. And I always 95 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.720 think of it in terms of the prayer that the 96 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.639 alcoholics anonymous, you know, teach me to know what I 97 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:28.399 can change and what I right. Solimity if it's almost 98 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:29.920 like living in the moment, you know, the hell, if 99 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:31.720 we can all just live in the moment, we wouldn't 100 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.759 be thinking about extraneous things. We'd be dealing with what's 101 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.519 in front of us and what we're dealing with at 102 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.399 that moment in time. So it's one thing. It's like 103 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:43.319 telling somebody to snap out of depression. I'll you got 104 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:44.959 all this going for you, just snap out of it. 105 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.560 And everybody who knows anything about depression knows it is 106 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.800 not that simple. It is so much more complex than that. 107 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:54.800 So I can tell myself, God, Brian, could just snap. 108 00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:54.920 Out of it. 109 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.920 Why are you letting this bother you? You have no 110 00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:01.720 control over it. But then I find myself sitting at 111 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.000 my house on my laptop four hours a day or 112 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.120 whatever and doing this for four hours on the radio, 113 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.439 and I'm just surrounded by it, so it's it's at 114 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:13.079 the forefront of my mind, so stress driven by jobs. 115 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.920 I have a doctor friend of mine, it's actually one 116 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.680 of my best friends, the godfather of my daughter. In fact, 117 00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:21.600 he's a surgeon, and I think about him because you 118 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:24.720 don't walk away from that. He's doing operations. Lives are 119 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:27.160 in his hands. You just don't go at home at 120 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.000 night and turn that crap off. I don't know how 121 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:30.439 you could. How you could, you know? 122 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.319 I think it's it's one of those things that you know, 123 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.199 life is what we make it. And unfortunately, when we're 124 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:36.759 put here on this earth to live a life, we 125 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.199 have a choice. We can stay wound up or we 126 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:41.079 can enjoy it and listening to the birds and the 127 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:42.920 bees kind of case scenario. But the question is is 128 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.240 how do you balance that? How do you catch yourself 129 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.680 in a downward spiral being cognitive and learning to say, hey, 130 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.160 I can take this time in my life to down 131 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.680 regulate and to really take in and enjoy what life 132 00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.319 is meant to be for us, or I can live 133 00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.600 the busy life, the city life, to whatever life. And 134 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.639 I think trying to balance that's the hard part. More importantly, 135 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:05.839 what is our brain doing in patterns? How are we 136 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.319 thinking in patterns? Because we're always gonna think because our 137 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:11.120 pattern teaches us to think that way. So learning to 138 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.519 break that pattern and say, you know what, life is short, 139 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.519 we should be grateful and it's in one person will 140 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:19.040 say it's it's very hard to be grateful and anxious 141 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.639 at the same time. So how many times during the 142 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.560 day do we spend going what am I grateful for? 143 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:26.680 What are the things in my life that I that 144 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:27.959 doesn't stress me out? 145 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.120 And do they? Are they real? Exactly? They are real. 146 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:32.360 But the situation that's. 147 00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.720 Going on in another country is also real, but it 148 00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:36.959 can't impact me. But the things that in my life 149 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:38.519 that can impact me or right in front of me, 150 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:39.519 and am I grateful for those? 151 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.160 Walking through a thoughtful analysis in order to shift the 152 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:43.600 focus of your attention. 153 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.800 Right, Well, it's in your head and truly stresses in 154 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.959 your head, but it definitely has physical side effects because 155 00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.160 when you're stressed, you can tell your blood pressure is 156 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.279 going up. Great's going up. That can't be good for 157 00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.920 long term health. And like you just mentioned, how to 158 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:01.879 how did I get into the wellness? Well that was 159 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.199 part of it. I mean stressing over the political situation 160 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.680 or stressing over you know, what's going on in the 161 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:11.920 engineering world. You gotta at some point say what can 162 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.000 I do to make that not hurt me so much? 163 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.600 Or are there alternative ways of doing it? So I 164 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:22.360 think there's a lot of implications with stress, both mental 165 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:27.079 and physical stress that get your body worked up, which 166 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.639 means you can't be healthy. I mean, you've got to 167 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:33.160 get the the body to be open to the idea 168 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.959 of you know, I got to relax, and when I relax, 169 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.639 my heart rate goes down, my blood pressure goes down, 170 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.759 and I've got to be able to identify, hey, I 171 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.560 can't do anything about this. I gotta let go. I 172 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:47.879 have to let it go. But it is tough, especially 173 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:50.600 if your job focuses around talking about it all the time. 174 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:52.720 Well, you know, the area lines a challenge and you know, 175 00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:55.800 plus plus four hours of time I got to fill in. 176 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:58.639 I mean, it's just like being on stage and you're 177 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.800 being lord or performing or actually try not to call 178 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.319 it performance because that suggests that I'm not being real. 179 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:08.120 But you at least have to be aware about the 180 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:14.120 facts and the information about the topics that people want 181 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:15.879 to talk about so they don't sound like a complete 182 00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.560 idiot every day. Not to me, that's a stress. So 183 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:20.000 I mean, there are things you can do. 184 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:23.639 You can in your case, you're getting the news out there, 185 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:27.920 You're helping influence people to change things. You can write articles, 186 00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:29.680 even if you don't send it to somebody, write a 187 00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:33.039 letter to the editor, and just get your thoughts down 188 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.559 on paper. That's an easy way to work. That sounds 189 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:38.399 a way to generate more stress. Find I find it. 190 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:41.720 It's sometimes it's easy to break it down. And let's 191 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:44.039 take a look at stress. So obviously we have work stress, 192 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:45.879 we have thought stress. But let's look at the things 193 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:49.519 that maybe we can control. For instance, you know your diet. 194 00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:52.080 What things are you putting into your diet and your 195 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:54.399 body that could be increasing your stress as far as 196 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.279 inflammatory stress. Right, your hydration, same thing, are you drinking enough? 197 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.120 Is your brain calm because you're well hydrated? 198 00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:02.440 What about sleep? 199 00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:05.879 Sleep's a fantastic way to get restorative sleep, but if 200 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.519 you don't get enough, you're going to have a stress cycle. 201 00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:10.480 And I know we're going to have a conversation about 202 00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:13.240 sleep too. And I think I got I got a point. 203 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.799 I want to make that I solve my getting to 204 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:20.279 sleep difficulties brought about by stress, the thoughts going through 205 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.080 your head, the things that everybody kind of experience. You know, 206 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.960 people experience all the time. You lay down at night 207 00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:26.639 and all this like what did I do today? What 208 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:28.080 did I say? I wish I hadn't said that, and 209 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:29.440 then you think about, well, all the things you got 210 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:31.879 to do tomorrow. That kind of that. That's a form 211 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.840 of mental stress. But it also impacts the sleep, which 212 00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:37.919 is a terrible thing as well. We'll get some of 213 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:40.120 the information on what lack of sleep and bad sleeps 214 00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:44.120 patterns can do to you.

And I to pass along one 258 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:51.720 of the mechanisms to manage stress for me. And I 259 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.759 like telling people this because I know how many people 260 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:56.440 struggle to go to sleep. And we're gonna talk about 261 00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.200 the importance of sleep here this morning with these guys. 262 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:04.279 But you know, very very long period of time where 263 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:05.919 I had problems going to sleep. You know, you're thinking 264 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:07.759 about all the stuff that you said, Oh my god, 265 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.279 you know, and it's racing through your mind that I 266 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:12.320 embarrass myself. Whatever things that you did, activities you went 267 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.080 through during the day, and then you think about tomorrow 268 00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:15.960 and what you got to do tomorrow, and oh my god, 269 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:17.440 I got that thing coming up at the end of 270 00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:22.039 the week. And why when you are laying in bed 271 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:25.279 and getting ready to go to sleep and doing something 272 00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:27.480 for your body that's so important, that is getting a 273 00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:30.519 good night's ress, why are we thinking about that kind 274 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:32.600 of thing. So I always start out if I feel 275 00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:34.120 and I've gotten to the point where I have no 276 00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:36.080 problem at all going to sleep anymore, because I've been 277 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:39.240 doing this for so many years. First off, it's the 278 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.480 worst possible talk. You're not going to be doing anything. 279 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:43.480 You're going to sleep, You're going to be laying in 280 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.320 bed think about stress, right because you can't unring the 281 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.639 bell of what happened, and you can't accomplish anything while 282 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:52.200 you're laying in bed trying to go to sleep. So 283 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.320 all those activities may be on your plate, but now 284 00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:57.399 is not the time to think about them. So try 285 00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:59.200 to start with that. And then what I always do 286 00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:02.240 is engage in the sort of meditative process. I close 287 00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:06.000 my eyes and I put myself in this peaceful tranquil 288 00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:08.279 and I use a forest and you know you mentioned 289 00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:12.399 off air a beach in Hawaii, wherever uncovered by anything. 290 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:17.120 You're alone and you're just peacefully walking and you know, 291 00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:19.240 you don't necessarily have any place to go. But what 292 00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:25.080 I'm focusing on is this fictitious mental walk, meaning I'm 293 00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:28.480 not focusing on the clutter. So it's a form of meditation. 294 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:32.799 You are consciously engaging in a thought process, unlike meditation, 295 00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:36.559 which is clearing your mind of everything. And that's almost 296 00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:39.279 impossible for a guy like me to accomplish my you know, 297 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:41.799 the seven squirrels running around in my brain. But by 298 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:44.879 engaging in this meditative process to the exclusion of the clutter, 299 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:47.000 you know what, I never get to where I'm going. 300 00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.159 I always end up falling asleep. And it's almost second 301 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.639 nature to me now and it really truly works. So 302 00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:54.840 maybe something that my listeners can try if they struggle 303 00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:55.759 to get to sleep. 304 00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:57.639 And it's a it's a mental process. 305 00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:00.399 I think the key thing was stressed during the day, 306 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.120 and like you say, nine times, the worst time to 307 00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:05.320 be talking about stress because you got to get to sleep. 308 00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:07.759 But during the day, you know, it does have that 309 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:10.000 side effect on your body. And can you go through 310 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:12.360 some of the you know, what is it that happens 311 00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:15.519 to cause chronic illness because of stress. 312 00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:19.320 There's this really cool term called inflame aging. Wi's basically 313 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:23.879 chronic inflammation that increases aging oxidative stress, which is as 314 00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:26.320 free radical. It gets tossed out in your body from 315 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:28.799 just normal daily activities, and then you increase that because 316 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.759 the cortisol production. Next to cortisol is a side effect 317 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:34.200 of stress exactly. And it's you know, it's your fight 318 00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:36.200 or flight chemical, right, it's to get me out of 319 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:39.720 this danger situation. Yeah, and what really that we don't 320 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:41.120 need that. We're not in danger. You know, right at 321 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.080 the top of the food chain, everything's pretty comfortable. But 322 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:45.240 for some reason we keep on building this court is all. 323 00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:48.320 And you add that to our environmental problems such as 324 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:51.919 you know, bad air, bad water, you know, small everything else, 325 00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:55.200 heavy metals, and now our mitochondria are getting their butt 326 00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:57.480 kicked and we have to do something about that. We 327 00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:00.120 have to clear that oxidative stress. And so there's any 328 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:03.919 different ways to clear oxidator stress. Ironically, it's your antioxidant's 329 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.720 your healthy blueberries and your veratrols and your NAC and 330 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:09.600 there's a whole list of them. You just google, you know, 331 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.279 the top five antioxidants and get to work. SANA is 332 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:15.919 another fantastic way to get oxidative stress out of your body, 333 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:18.919 but to get more onto the damaging of it. It 334 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:22.120 can actually cause epigenic changes. Your genetics can get changed, 335 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:25.200 and there's your cancer potential, your cancer risks. Not to mention, 336 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:28.720 your teleomers get shortened, which filmers are DNA exactly your 337 00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.240 DNA and that helps you rebuild all your new cells. 338 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:33.440 And so what are things like? Meditation is a great 339 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:36.879 way to lengthen your telemers. Deep breathing great way to 340 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:40.200 lengthen it. Antioxidation lengthen your teleomers, and that's kind of 341 00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:41.919 the goal when you're trying to do you're trying to 342 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:45.240 reverse inflammaging, inflammating. 343 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:45.919 I hadn't heard that. 344 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.559 When I send it to me, I'm like, what the 345 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:53.399 heck you misspelled inflammation? That's common. Inflammating makes sense. I mean, 346 00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:56.960 it's easily one of the bigger problems inflammation, especially with 347 00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.000 you know what's happening with the food supply and some 348 00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:03.000 of the crazy stuff they're winker process foods increases inflammation. 349 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:04.399 Right, and you see that in your joints, You see 350 00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:07.399 that in your anxiety. Anxiety can be a sign that 351 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.399 you have neuro inflammation. You know, neuroinflammation is a very 352 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:13.919 real deal. And so if you're feeling anxious or feeling depressed, 353 00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:18.000 your brain's just not thinking, right, it's probably inflammation. So 354 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:23.720 what you're saying is it is a a you're influenced 355 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:26.440 by your environment. Of course, the pollutants, toxins, et cetera 356 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:27.399 that we regularly encounter. 357 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:29.440 The environment. Of course, what we put in our body 358 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:32.279 literally has an impact on this.
