And again, what it is, what's occurring is the activation of that stress response that's unremitting.

And when we do that, it negatively impacts the gut microbiome.

It negatively impacts the gut barrier and actively increases inflammation.

I think that there are a number of opportunities for healing.

And what I would say is that first and foremost, before I get specific to your question, we cannot allow modern culture to dictate and negatively affect our health.

And the problem that we have is that modern culture in both of our countries has created a normal that is not the way that our body was designed.

And I'm not saying that we need to go back to being like living in a cave.

That is not what I'm saying.

But what I am saying is that we need to take control of our environment, which includes our home and our day-to-day rhythms and patterns.

We need to take control of these things

to restore this natural relationship between our body, the way that it works, our environment, and ultimately that trickles down to our gut and our immune system.

That is the opportunity that we have.

So an example of this, what I'm referring to, is that we live in these homes.

They have controlled air, controlled temperature that is like continuous, exactly where we want it to be, 24 hours a day.

We have these windows.

We see some sunlight that trickles into the home through that window.

But we don't step outside.

We don't step outside nearly as much as we used to.

Think about 100 years ago.

I don't know if my family, meaning my grandparents, I don't know if they had a car.
