I lost a loved one.

just a lot of stress at work.

It's just there was some sort of stress.

I mean, stress can impact your body in an even greater way or an equal way to diet.

So I do think that that's something that a lot of people are not fully conscious of today.

I mean, here's another big one.

A lot of us have the emotions we experienced based on our childhood.

It could be childhood trauma.

It could be toxic parents.

It could be being undernourished.

There's a number of things.

And most people have never dealt with childhood trauma.

And

And a lot of people have never sort of learned how to build virtue and positive emotions as well in order to regulate their emotional state.

And it's known that different emotions cause disease in different organ systems.

Fear, we know this one, that affects the adrenals, right?

And then your body starts putting out more cortisol.

So we know fear affects the adrenals and the kidneys and reproductive organs.

But then worry affects the digestive system.

Grief or not letting go of things of the past, that affects the immune system.
