And that is a wonderful thing because I've had patients who've been 85 years old and learned new things because of the process of neuroplasticity.
And in the same way that you can actually change
Some people will say, you know, I'm just a stressed out person.
I have the stress response.
It's who I am and I'm not going to change.
I would refute that and say, in fact, your brain is always evolving and changing and growing based on neuroplasticity.
So you can change certain neural circuits and strengthen certain neural circuits and then weaken certain neural circuits.
And it's simply about the doing.
The more you do, when you do better, you feel better.
And that's really what neuroplasticity is.
It's like that your brain is a muscle just like your biceps.
You know, in the same way that you would train biceps, you can do the same for your brain.
And some of these techniques, stop breathing, sticky feet, movement, meditation.
I mean, there's so many that we could talk about.
Actively change your brain for less stress and more resilience.
Ooh, great question, Ken.
Okay.
So let's start a little bit, let's backtrack a little bit.
When you are just, you know, normal functioning and living your day to day, your brain is governed by an area called the prefrontal cortex.
So if you put your hand right here on your forehead, it's the area right behind your forehead.
