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.

Whether it be a divorce,

bereavement, job loss.

I'm not saying it was the only cause, but it seemed to be the trigger that tipped them over the edge.

You've been studying immunology for many years.

Does that make sense to you through the lens of the science of the immune system?

This is where...

science and spirituality, for want of a better term, start to really combine and become one, right?

Because these concepts of acceptance are things that spiritual teachers and philosophy would have talked about for years.

So it's really fascinating to hear how that actually

can actually transform or certainly have an impact on people's physical symptoms because these things are not separate.

They're one and the same.

And now I spend a lot of time thinking about stress and what stress actually is.

And you can look at it through multiple lenses.

You know, my second book back in 2018 was all about stress.

And whilst I still stand by everything that was in that, I would probably write it differently today.
