And if in fact it's on more than it should be, and this is your example with these sort of autoimmune situations where it's sort of attacking something that isn't actually bad.
If you can just somehow calm yourself down, like be more relaxed, then potentially you're sort of sending messages to your immune system that maybe it can also be a bit more relaxed and that can genuinely change the way in which it interacts with, you know, whatever's triggering it and setting off this sort of autoimmune response.
To be very clear, you cannot heal an autoimmune disease by just relaxing.
That would be insane.
There's always multiple causes and influences on diseases.
Usually it's multifactorial, you know.
But one factor is also an interaction of the nervous system with the immune system.
Those two communicate, and we know those roots through medicine.
good medical research.
And there are these studies with relaxation techniques, stress influencing the course of autoimmune diseases.
So it is one factor that we can influence, but there's also other factors.
Like, as I said, maybe a viral disease has tipped it off in the beginning, or you're genetically more likely to develop autoimmunity because you lack certain signals or structures or have a little less of cells that
calm the immune system down usually.
So there's always multiple factors, but one of them is also your body being in a good state and your immune system noticing that.
I think that's fascinating because I feel like I was brought up thinking that is all crazy Californian woo-woo to think that your mental attitude could have any impact on your body.
I was definitely brought up with a very big divide between the mind and the rest of your body.
I think most of us were.
And this is just what happens when research has the luxury of being more differentiated.
Lots of research that I look at now is, you know, suddenly there's a gut-liver axis, there's a liver-brain axis, there's immune system-brain axis, there's, you know, all these axes that are now being called that.
They're basically just saying, oh, now we have the luxury to see all these finer connections and influences as well.
