oh, so you brought people together? I was like, oh yeah, I guess I did. He's like, well, what's your business now? And we were laughing. It's like, it's called commune. It's like, I bring people together. He's like, that is the thread of your life. Because you value belonging so deeply because of your experiences as a child, you turned your biggest shortcoming into your biggest superpower.

You bring people together. You have to embrace that now. And that was a pretty beautiful eye-opening experience.

You can get it cognitively, but then when you feel it somatically, when you embody that, it's a different form of satori or catharsis.

Totally. And then it was also not completely understanding my own physiology. I mean, I remember sitting down with a Dr. William Lee, who I'm sure you've known. I was like, yeah, well, you know, well, I just have bad metabolism. And he's like sort of smiling at me. And he's like, no, no, no. The variation between people's metabolism on a genetic basis is really, really small.

And that our metabolism naturally doesn't really decline very much at all between ages of 20 and 60. It's actually the accumulation of fat and other things like that that actually then hurt metabolism. But just from a genetic perspective, you know, you got to lose that narrative. Like let that little meme of I have bad metabolism just disappear from your consciousness. And so that was helpful.

And then there was like a bunch of candidly like a spiritual part of my journey that kind of converged with this curiosity around my physiology. And it was the bridging of that, of the mystical and the medical, that I guess propelled a lot of other awakenings in me. You know, this notion, this Buddhist notion, that all we are really is change, that everything is impermanent.

And so clinging or craving to anything is always just going to result in a lot of dukkha, you know, suffering and dissatisfaction. But as applied to human physiology, That really violated my sense of self. I wake up in the morning and I look at Jeff in the mirror and I'm like, there's Jeff. He's a stable, reliable thing. He doesn't really change. He looks more or less the way he looked yesterday.

So there is a sense of self that is really anchored in physical continuity. But as I started to learn more about human physiology, I was like, nothing could be less true. You know, what we are are seven octillion self-assembled atoms having 37 billion billion chemical reactions per second. Literally, all we are is change. I mean, I'm not the same guy that sat down here 20 minutes ago with you.
