we have to be aware that the content we're consuming is sending that signal to our immune systems.

And I was really good for a while.

I sort of deleted X and Instagram from my phone.

So I would only look at them on my laptop.

And then I think, cause I was traveling in February, I'd put X back on for some reason.

And after this all sort of started to go down in the news,

I was finding myself on X for God knows how long just trying to stay up to date with stuff.

And I thought, okay, wrong end.

You do not need X on your phone.

Again, not trying to tell anyone how to live their life.

For me, I was realizing that I don't need 60 to 90 minutes of negative inputs into my life about stuff that is largely out of my control.

I just delete the app.

And even though that hasn't changed anything that is going on in the world, my experience of day-to-day life is completely different.

For many years, Jenna, I would specialize in seeing people with autoimmune disease.

This is out with where I was in general practice at the time.

I'd also see people for an hour, an hour and a half who had complex issues that they couldn't get resolution for.

And I used to really enjoy that.

And one thing I found

I mean, I don't have the exact statistics, so it was almost 100% of the time was when I did a timeline on people who suffered from any autoimmune disease, whether that be lupus, Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, whatever it might be.

I can tell you, it was amazing how many times in the six months prior to them getting a diagnosis, there was a significant stressor in their life.
