These things actually are also activations of our parasympathetic nervous system.

So, and then like the question that you asked me that has taken me an hour, this is the most divergent answer of all time.

You asked me like, what is the thing that you can do?

And you asked me about food, but I'm actually going to divert away from food.

And what I'm going to say is like in the moment of stress where your sympathetic nervous system is firing,

you can breathe.

So all of these different forms of breath work that you hear people talk about, whether it's Wim Hof, or you hear Andrew Huberman talk about techniques, or it's in my space as a gastroenterologist, we use techniques called diaphragmatic breathing.

which are basically meant to really force your diaphragm to pull air into your lungs with deep breaths in through the nose, out through the lips.

These breath by itself has the ability to activate our vagus nerve, which can take the foot off of the gas and put it on the brake and allow you to get into rest and digest and safety mode.

To recap,

and acknowledge what I'm hearing you say, is that we can apply all the strategies in your book, Plant Powered Plus, to activate the power of your gut, to tame inflammation and reclaim your health.

There's lots of supplements, foods and strategies that we can implement.

But it sounds like if you're looking for ultimate health, ultimate freedom and healing, then revisiting and healing the traumas of the past,

and integrating them in a healthy way in your life so that you feel you've resolved them and they don't hurt you anymore, along with connecting to God or a higher power and having a beautiful relationship and faith in God or a higher power.

Those two things are just as powerful, if not more powerful, than any type of food, hack, sleep, sunlight that you can get in your life.

For a lot of people, that's the healing that they so desperately need.

100%.

I know what your next book is about.

It's about that whole chapter and going deeper on science and faith.

I feel like that is what you said people are starving for.
