Your nervous system is this balance between the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system, often characterized by different neurotransmitters. So you have these excitatory neurotransmitters on one side, like glutamate, like, oh, very alert, let's go. And then you have GABA. Okay, we're chilling now, we're chilling. And look at like leptin and ghrelin.

pH balance, everywhere in the human body, health is characterized by this homeostasis. Back to your question. The ironic thing is that the body gets better at fostering homeostasis through a certain amount of imposed stress. So oftentimes it does take you to challenge your body's ability to get into the mud, right, in order to grow the lotus.

So this is why in an era that is completely denuded of discomforts, that's riddled with convenience at every turn. Here we are, sitting in these wonderful, comfy chairs, right, in a thermoregulated environment, you know, with this lovely tea. I mean, you know, whatever. If we sat here, we would just become like those characters in WALL-E, you know what I mean, right?

Just bring us food now, like summer squash in the middle of winter. I want it. You know, this is the way we live, right? And so... What's, I think, interesting is that in order to instantiate homeostasis, we actually do have to now press ourselves, press the edges of discomfort.

And whether, yeah, that could look like a physiological stress, like self-imposed calorie restriction or time-restricted eating, fasting, that could look like jumping into a cold plunge, it could look like getting into a sauna. That could look like getting up early and getting the proper light in the morning. That could look like, you know, lifting heavy things and overloading a muscle.

But that also could look like pushing yourself into social situations that feel like a little uncomfortable. That could look like actually having that stressful conversation with people that really, really don't agree with you on something. So it manifests... Our ability to kind of lean into discomfort, that opportunity manifests itself in so many different ways.
