Brilliant.

Which is really exciting.

So it just helps us be more recovered more of the time, which who couldn't use that?

Right.

Exactly.

Yeah.

The biggest factor is vagus nerve activity.

And and we can train that.

So that's what's really exciting is that the nervous system is highly trainable.

And that was discovered over the last hundred years.

But in particular, Eric Handel's Nobel Prize winning work in 2000 is one of the most famous neuropsychiatrists in history.

He discovered that the nervous system is highly trainable around fear and safety states and that fear and safety are our most meaningful inputs to not just us, but all all mammals and likely all reptiles going back hundreds of millions of years.

So we understand that that is how we evolved and how our, like, whatever else we think is on the top of our fancy human nervous system is working, that's at the core.

And if we don't address that first, then our bodies, if they stay in a fear state, are not allowing recovery to even happen.

Because if we're in a fear state, our bodies are believing that there's like a saber-toothed tiger around the corner.

And we're not supposed to be.

We didn't evolve to send resources to reproduction, digestion, immunity, and sleep and rest, and empathy and creativity.

When our bodies think there's a saber-toothed tiger around the corner, we default to fight or flight, which means all our blood flow is going to skeletal muscles.

So there's almost no blood flow left over for recovery.

So by just doing the deep breathing, by doing the soothing touch, by throwing on your favorite songs more often, by using Apollo, you're increasing the safety signals to the body through the skin, through the ears, through your senses.
