the release of corticotropin-releasing hormone, the consequence is damage to the gut, right? The term that we use for this is dysbiosis. That refers to a damaged gut. Some people call that leaky gut. I'm talking about the same thing. I'm fine with calling it leaky gut if you want to. But it's dysbiosis. And so we are inducing dysbiosis. And the problem is that

If you are persistently damaging the gut, if you are just constantly inflicting harm upon it, how can it heal no matter what you do from a nutrition perspective and all these different things?

sleep and nutrition and exercise and they may have some sort of stress reduction mechanism that they follow. But if you're not directly addressing the issue, that open wound that exists that needs to be healed, then it's going to be hard for you to achieve true healing. And so I think ultimately the attention has to go there.

I completely agree with that. And, you know, it's interesting because you talked about a release of tension. And there are all of these things that we can do that are health and wellness sort of hacks. like breathing, for example. There's many different forms of breathing that we could do.

And in essence, they all work the same way, which is to flip us from the sympathetic back to the parasympathetic. We're activating the parasympathetic nervous system. But there's also these other things that I find to be really kind of cool when you consider this within the framework of the human existence, which is like holding hands, right?

I'm usually the first guy on the dance floor, but like, why do I love that so much? Why does that just work with my body so well?
