Now, this is the part of your brain, and I'm going to try not to lose the audience here by getting real nerdy and talking about brainwaves. brain connection. But this is the one that's key for our development. Like I said, between the ages of pretty much from when you're born to when you're about 25 years old, those synaptic connections are starting to, they're developing.

And then there's a pruning process that takes place when you go through puberty. Just like our bodies go through puberty during those preteen years, so does our brains. And what happens is those synaptic connections start to adapt to how you live your life. And we start this pruning process for things that your body has identified what you need for survival.

So for myself, growing up in a household that I grew up in, I knew for my survival, I used hypervigilance as just one of the key things because I'm always like assessing what's going on. That comes from my senses, right? So many of us learn about our five senses when we're younger and that we're always assessing our environment.

So that's one of the key things that happens with our snap connections. Cortisol, again, is subjective based on the person. Depending on your environment, how you've adjusted that environment, some of your coping skills you have, it will determine how much cortisol you have within your body. But again, that's one of the key things to pay attention to. You can get a cortisol scan.

There's probably a bigger, fancier title for that. If you're ever curious and you go to the doctor, they can let you know how much cortisol is actually in your system as well.

That's a good question. I'm not sure. I would have to look that up to see if it changes as you get older. I would assume it does just because your hormones do. So I would assume that there are some changes that happens within the body for an individual, but I would have to do some further research to confirm that.

I think they're going to be this. I think this is an interesting question. I actually think about this pretty often as a father and also somebody who works with young people. I don't think that they're going to I don't think the stress levels are going to be worse. I think they're going to be different. And what I mean by that is this.

The kids that we have today, the last two generations, the Generation Zs and the new alphas that we never really talk about yet because they're all under the age of 13. But these kids are growing up in this fast-paced world that we didn't have. Our world was fast-paced for the time. But in this time... I would say culture, youth culture probably shifted maybe every 10 years or so.

In this world, youth culture shifts probably every four years or so. The last time I was in school-based therapy was 2017, 18. Now, even if the pandemic didn't happen, I think this still would have took place. The young people who are in school now, they are very different than those kids. It's like it's almost night and day because youth culture shifts over. Their influencers shift over.

Their interest levels shift over. Their language shifts over. So the culture changes. So what they're stressed out about also manifests differently than what we were. It's some of the core stuff that when we grew up, relationships, parental issues, some politics, but not that much. These kids are way more political than I think we've ever seen before.
