And we're experiencing so many negative things from stress, but in, in just in general, like, how does the vagus nerve really, like, handle stress in the body in a positive way? And then we can talk about, like, the negative ef- effects of it.

Yeah, so to your point, like, we need that emergency system to turn on inside of our bodies.

Like, if you're running from a bear [laughs] or, you know, there's, you know, even, like, a workout, right? Like, a hard workout s- stimulates that sympathetic or that fight or flight inside of your nervous system, which you need to be able to release certain hormones and m- do certain movements in your body, you know, to be able to, um, get through that, if you will.

Now, we need to find that balance, which is where it can kind of become detrimental, where our body doesn't learn how to create that balance.

And so I think without going back, you can't really address what's going on now, right? Like, these are all learned behaviors inside of our system based on happening of events.

Like, you can go back to somebody's birth, right? Like, birth can be really traumatic, right? You get born into this world.

You know, you're under the hospital fluorescent lights.

But how do we start to differentiate this dysregulation from maybe it is something going on in our nervous system versus our hormones? Is it, like, a test we have to take, or is there something else that we could start to notate to, to bring to our doctor?
