Well, the same blood that goes through the whole body goes to the brain.

And the same nervous system is also connected.

And it is estimated that some of our nerve cells are almost a metre long, so starting here and going long down.

And then you've got your vagus nerve called the wanderer that has its roots in the brain through the neck and down into our gut and through there.

It's all connected.

And when I was...

I was probably 19, 20, 21, 22, about those ages.

I worked as a psychiatric nurse and I didn't see people get better.

I saw the same people come back, more drugs.

And I remember thinking, well, this isn't working.

But I put that on hold until probably about maybe 20 years later where I

attended a lecture by Dr. Neil Nedley.

He was an American doctor who was a GP, and he was noticing that a lot of his patients were on antidepressants.

And this really surprised him, so he implemented lifestyle changes.

So dietary changes, exercise, drinking more water, going to bed earlier.

And he said if he could get equal to what medication does, he'd be happy.

He said far exceeded.

Now, when I heard him say far exceeded, I'm on the edge of my seat.

I thought, well, I've learned that you give the body the right conditions, it works well, and there are simple natural treatments, but what about the mind?

So that took me on another journey in another direction, looking at the effect of what happens in our body on our mind.
