And

The other thing I'm getting exposed to right now is sunlight, and you can find fresh water, and there's even this concept of earthing and grounding, like touching the surface of the planet to absorb a lot of the natural negative ions that the Earth produces to allow for the body's battery to be charged in a way that would fight inflammation or would increase energy.

And so when you look at a lot of these natural elements of lifestyle,

Yeah.

You've done your homework.

you can actually simulate many of those using modern-day technologies or biohacks.

Good job.

I have said that phrase of one foot in the realm of ancestral wisdom and the other foot in the realm of modern science.

So what I mean by that is red light therapy is very popular.

I'm walking through the forest behind my house.

People use infrared saunas or red light lamps or even head-worn red light helmets, for example, to enhance brain function, to decrease inflammation, to increase the production of heat shock proteins.

I've got this half mile long obstacle course that I've carved through the forest.

And in a moment, I'll come up on the goat and the chicken pens and a big garden of six

raised beds for gardening, and a lot of kind of like outdoor farm-style living.

And

You can get those same beneficial wavelengths of light from sunlight, but you can also bring it indoors, concentrate it, hack it, focus on the red light frequencies, and get the same benefits even if you're, say, whatever, indoors in Seattle during a dark and gray winter or working in a job that would limit you from being able to get out into the sunlight.

We often go outside, again, in this same forest, and we'll plant forage and find wild mint and nettle and mushrooms and harvest things that we can use in cooking.

I talked about walking on the ground or touching the surface of the earth.

Well, you know, from an ancestral standpoint, we know that a physical intimate connection to the surface of the planet seems to produce a variety of really beneficial biological effects.
