By the way, these muscles of the face that I'm describing, they also share source nuclei in the brainstem with the vagus nerve. And so this is another way to just stimulate the vagus from a palpation point of view, combined with this breathing type of exercise that also is... pushing the gas on your off switch.

So I think the more you can dose up on a parasympathetic stimuli prior to bed, you may find over time that you have less and less of this unconscious clenching overnight.

But I would say if you know you have pain in the morning every day and you want to go work out, just do a little bit of the work and then it'll free up so much of your range of motion and change the pain as we described, you know, we talked about earlier. So why not do a little bit in the morning and do a little bit at night?

Turn on the off switch.

Yes. Yes. So one of my goals with writing Body by Breath was trying to sell this notion of parasympathetic tolerance. I think that we are, we're not in a parasympathetic dominant society. We're not parasympathetic dominant beings. We're sympathetic dominant beings. But without doing, without investing in our own recovery, it's hard to keep producing. It's hard to Stay creative.

It's hard to keep thinking clearly. It's hard to make decisions for your family. It's hard to pick out which freaking color curtain you want to have in your new office. So it really is important to be able to create the... physiological ability to allow parasympathetic virtues to arise within your body. So I call this parasympathetic tolerance capacity.

And I personally need it for my own well-being. Otherwise, I will just grind it out. I will just go nonstop. I think that's just part of my own family lineage. Like you just, you go, go, go, you produce, you produce, you produce.

So, and I think that one of the things that I've also picked up from the fascia research space is that when we are constantly in a sympathetic aroused state, exposed to shots of our own adrenaline and cortisol constantly, that There are adaptive changes in our fascial tissues because of it.

So namely, your fibroblasts, it's been shown when they're exposed to adrenaline, don't have an immediate change. But after 24 hours, the fibroblasts... They convert due to the presence of something called TGF beta. They start to convert into like a gremlin version of a fibroblast, which is a myofibroblast. And a myofibroblast becomes a contractile cell within the fascial network.

And these myofibroblasts actually have myosin in them, and they are prevalent in people who have... thickened fascia, non-gliding fascia. This was first found in thoracolumbar aponeurosis. This was first found in people with low back pain, this high prevalence of these myofibroblasts. But it doesn't happen immediately.
