Our brain requires it.

So we can't always get it from food, which is important.

And it really calms the nervous system.

It supports all sorts of functions.

So I would focus on the glycinate versus like citrate kind.

But you guys have to talk to your doctors and figure that out.

Nature is critical.

I always try to just get outside, even if I can't physically go to a park or a space like that, just being outside is restorative.

It recalibrates us.

We're never meant to process the world, mostly through screens, which is how many of us kind of function.

So our brain was meant to attune to sound and wind and light and sun and rhythms and textures.

And so that's how

We need to bring that nature, those elements, those textures back into my life and into anyone's life.

And I think even just short exposure, as the science has shown, to be very helpful.

So even five to 10 minutes outdoors can lower our stress hormones and regulate our heart rate and all of those great things.

And they even say, I did a deep dive into this.

If you have to be in an office for most of the day, granted, definitely try to take your lunch outside or

go for a walk during a phone call can be helpful.

I try to do that sometimes, but even house, like even a plant, like putting a plant in an office has been shown to also lower stress and nourish our brain.

So I think there's little things we can do.
