We're not supposed to fall 20 stories and survive.

That's why we do it, because it's exhilarating.

We're like, whoo, right?

People with irritable bowel syndrome, often, not all, do not want to ride a roller coaster because they feel like they're always falling.

Like metaphorically falling.

They will white knuckle, hold on for dear life.

Whereas other people are throwing their hands in the air, throwing, you know.

It's like we have a G-force accelerometer in our gut that is keeping track of your movement and telling you if you're about to die.

So literally when you get those gut feelings, like something's the matter, something doesn't feel right here.

That's your body saying, you think you're at risk.

You feel like you might die even.

Now, sometimes that's an inappropriate feeling.

Your brain is playing a trick on you.

Your brain is telling you that you're falling.

So that's literally how deep the gut feeling gets.

And Hippocrates said all disease begins in the gut.

2,000 years ago he said that.

What did he mean?

This is the core of who we are.

It's the ultimate visceral center of our selfhood.
