thoughts are branches and we're just swinging cuckoo bananas riotously from each one, you know? We're never here. We're obsessing about something in the past and projecting that into the future as some sort of negative anticipated memory, right? We build this anxiety like a mason with bricks over it.

And this impacts every other part of our life. You know, how we eat, you know, how we treat each other. how we feel day to day. And so what is interesting is that a lot of the physiological protocols, stress protocols that I talk about actually have very, very potent psychological effects. ramifications.

Totally. You feel high. I mean, being in a sauna creates endorphins, endo, endogenous, inner, endorphin, morphine, opioids, inner opioid. You're accessing your inner pharmacy, literally, when you apply deliberate heat to yourself. So yeah, those physiological stress protocols have protein impacts on your psychology.
