We don't want to get stuck there, but it's natural to feel that first layer of it.

But there's another side of that question, which is, hey, why did this happen to me?

Which is said with a different attitude.

And it's said with the attitude of, if I can understand how I played a role in this, then

the circumstances that led to this situation then I can do something about it I call it the law of responsibility if you had some role doesn't mean that you caused it if you had some role in this situation happening that's beautiful news because that means that you can do something about it if you had no role in it you unfortunately can't do anything and it's all a hundred percent up to genetics or whatever else is out there so we know

Genetics load the gun.

Lifestyle pulls the trigger.

And we also know from a lot of the research that's out there is that something like heart disease, it can start...

Way earlier in our life, well before we get symptoms.

And then one more layer that's there, we also know that there's natural variation in life.

Not everybody who smokes ends up with cancer.

I mean, the majority of people will, but not everybody.

Not everybody who's super fit will always have a heart that looks super healthy.

So when you are asking yourself this question, why did this happen to me?

What were some of the things that you found that were potential contributors in your situation?

Just to connect the dots to something you said earlier.

Sure.

I think what's so crucial for us all to understand, and you mentioned this earlier, is that sleep is where repair happens in every organ system in the body.

Our brain has its own detoxification system, the glymphatic system, which is activated in this deep sleep period.

In particular, deep sleep is super important for cleaning the brain out, you know, taking short-term memory, putting in long-term memory, getting rid of all the garbage that also builds up.
