it's like the blueprint is just it's just where we've come from as humans and it's so interesting that this discordance really between our genetics and our environment is just causing us to get really sick yeah yeah and I think also like we're in such a dope mean Loop right now because all the major industries in our world like are putting us on a dope mean Loop and so it's almost like if we don't step back a little bit we could be on that hamster wheel for our whole life almost thinking that we're happy but knowing that we're actually not that happy I mean depression and anxiety we all it's like it's through the roof suicide is just it's so disastrously high as one of the leading causes of death in the US so I do I do think that when you talk to people like people kind of know that something's not quite right with how things are going right now but I think it's it feels incredibly overwhelming to think about how to unpack this world that we're living in but just like you're saying I think step one is to you know go through all the factors of a modery that are impacting our cellular health and just like chip away at each of them like that that can look like we don't you know it' be awesome if we could all move to like a sort of Costa Rica but like you can bring those you can you know if you have a tiny little deck outside your apartment you can makeshift build a little standing desk out there you know you can do that you can choose to drink your coffee on a walk around the block rather than sit on your couch and drink it you know you can choose to open your mail sitting at a picnic table outside rather than doing it inside you can go to the farmers's market instead of going to the grocery store like there are small things we can do that get us closer and they get us probably 80% of the way there without it being like our life turning into a backpacking trip but like they're gonna look weird and then what you do is once you do the weird thing you realize there's all these other people doing the weird thing and you find your community it's very and then people like us all find each other and and we're back the tribe in community and it all starts to work yeah
