So add that to the mix.

You eat like that.

You don't work out.

You don't get any sun.

You sit in a desk eight hours a day or sit in a classroom eight hours a day.

What's happening is you're not

are operating at optimal level.

If you're not operating at optimal level, you're gonna want an escape.

That's why you see people, they work all day and they say, well, it's two o'clock and they go, oh, it's two o'clock, I'm here till five, I'm gonna have a candy bar or I'm gonna get a Starbucks.

And it's not, they're not getting a coffee.

They're getting like, yeah, to reward themselves to make it to five o'clock.

That's where this comes in.

And then they're depressed.

They go to the doctor, they get an SSRI.

Now they're on Prozac or Wellbutrin or Garbage or Xanax.

And next thing you know, they're on legal drugs, which turn into illegal drugs.

So for me, I tell everybody, you start eating right, you start working out, you start lowering your cortisol and figure out what your purpose in life is and stop doing a nine to five job because you think you have to.

Figure out why you're here.

You'll never want to get high.

It's that simple.
