There is a chronic stress in society that seems to be going in one direction. It seems to be going up and up and up. And I was wondering if that ties into the subject of burdens we're carrying from our past that are keeping us elevated in ways that are suboptimal.

Yeah. And it has a big impact on your immune system. I've noticed that when I'm in a state of prolonged reaction, negative reaction to something, it only takes a couple more days for me to get a flu or a cold or something. And I'm like, bloody hell. Because I don't get sick often. So I think I get sick, kind of like I am now, maybe twice a year. And so it's very easy. It's almost like a shock.

And then it's very easy for me to trace my steps and see what brought me here. So this happened. My response was this. Eight days later, I felt my immune system go. Because I get sick so rarely, it's so unbelievably clear what happened to me. There's no like, oh, I touched something and then the germs got in my mouth. For me, it's so clear in my life.

So yeah, that's kind of what I want to do is I want to stop that happening.

Health is a huge focus for me in 2025. And I'm not just talking about eating right and exercising, I'm talking about my recovery too. I'm halfway through 60 workouts in 60 days. And to help my body recover, I've been using a health gadget that I've shared with you before. They're a sponsor of this podcast and their product has such a huge impact on my recovery.

I'm referring to my Bond Charge infrared sauna blanket. These are similar to the infrared saunas that you see in gyms and spas, but the big difference is that it's portable.

I started the year off at my home in South Africa so I brought the blanket with me and I used it most nights before bed when I was training hard and it helped me relax, it helped my muscles feel less sore and I wake up feeling more recovered. It works by heating up your body directly rather than just the air around you to improve circulation and reduce stiffness.

Because then when the winds blow, at least I'm anchored by something.
