And the amazing part is that they not only build our resilience at a literal biological level, but the same pathways that build resilience actually make us healthier and they make us younger because these mechanisms repair, they do all these housekeeping functions, they regenerate ourselves.

So it goes even beyond the conceptual framework of resilience to a biological equivalent of becoming healthier and younger in the face of stress. So it's reframing our relationship with stress to think about it more broadly. And of course, there's merit to reducing the chronic stress, but that is just a lot easier said than done.

Yeah, this is new because the key here is that you want to not just move, but move enough with enough intensity where you are activating a stress response. The stronger the stress, the more your body adapts and becomes resilient. So that is the difference. And it's changing some of the messaging, right?

Because, for example, we tell people as they get older, oh, you should slow down, you should do less. And that is the worst advice we can give people because it actually takes a little bit more of a stimulus for our body to adapt as we get older. And we want to continually grow and regenerate and renew our bodies.

And our bodies work through bioplasticity, which is the biological equivalent of use it or lose it. So if you challenge your brain, you grow brain pathways through neuroplasticity where your brain is sharper. If you challenge your heart through some level of exercise, that really raises your heart rate. You're making your cardiovascular system stronger.

If you challenge your muscles, I mean, we all know that if you lift heavier weights, you grow stronger muscles. This happens at every level. And the corollary though, is that when we don't, when we do not have enough of this good stress in our life, we become more vulnerable.

And that is really why the messaging around these health effects, like you said, the ones that are a little more fluffy now, we need to reintroduce that intensity because that is ultimately what we need to thrive.
