Well, it comes from the immune system, right?

So actually, if you're going root, root, root cause, yeah, go to chronic inflammation, but then you actually have to go one step deeper and go, yeah, that's because the immune system, for whatever reason, feels that it needs to propagate an inflammatory response because of what it is sensing.

You know, the news has become quite alarming over the past week, okay?

And flights being cancelled, people wondering about the end of the world, all kinds of things.

And...

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.
