So what do you think was going on in this instance with the connection between trauma and infertility?

You also have this idea that trauma accelerates aging.

So many conversations in this podcast are about longevity.

And when people think about longevity, of course, they think about sleep and physical exercise.

And they think about diet and reducing ultra-processed foods and all the things that play into reducing inflammaging, right?

That's a term that's come out over the years.

That's a great term.

And there seems to be some connection with trauma as being a major...

inflammation in the body.

They're all connected.

You have this quote from the book, trauma floods the entire system, breaking you down from the inside out.

And that's how we should think about it.

If we care about aging, if we care about, you know, living our best life and even just day-to-day happiness, separate from health span and lifespan.

Trauma is that thing in the background that's always attacking your body and without having a plan.

You mentioned this about your mom's story, but I think it's worth touching on a little bit more here in this phase of the conversation.

that trauma is in a way a social disease and it can be spread through this idea of secondary trauma, right?

You mentioned that earlier about your mom.

Secondary PTSD.

I'm imagining, you know, a question from some of our listeners would be, can loving someone with trauma

change their own brain and their own experience can be, can be being in close proximity with somebody who has this PTSD, PTSI.
