Stress And Health User Manual For Humans - Pt1 1/5

this is the first in a series and I've

told the most of it already so with

about the ideas and what we'll skip that

but basically what I've noticed over the

years is that we buy a car we get a user

manual we buy a microwave oven there's

the user manual we buy a computer

there's a user manual no one ever gave

you a user manual for the human body and

even though we go to school and even

though we learn all these things we

spend thousands of hours to school to

learn about math and science and

historical dates and presidents and

nobody ever teaches us about how we

function and really that's the most

important thing that there is so this is

a user manual for humans part one and

we'll see how far the series goes and

we'll start off with some basic concepts

and then we'll expand into personal

growth things and eventually

but when it comes to to health and

stress you can just check off for

yourself you can share with with with us

but what are some things that you are

interested in in changing improving

about your health pain weight strength

energy well-being clarity focus whatever

and once we talk about the body we want

to start thinking about it differently

so rather than thinking about the body

as a as a physical machine that we take

over to the hospital we bring them the

machine and they check it out and tell

us what's wrong with it we want to start

thinking of the body as hardware and

software it's a whole ecosystem so would

you all agree that whatever it is that

you checked off that you want to improve

it whatever it is that there's wrong

with with with your body or the function

would you agree that there's something

that isn't working right does that make

sense

and if that something was working right

then you wouldn't have a problem that

makes sense too so then the next

question is what what is it that isn't

working right what what level of

function what part is it that isn't

doing its job so we need to start

thinking of the body in levels of

function and the lowest level is passing

tissue that's the bones and the

cartilage fat tissue blood connected

it's all the stuff that if you go to the

hospital and they run a diagnostic test

that's what they measure they take an

x-ray they see where what happenings

would with your bones they take a blood

test they see what sort of chemicals

which kind of molecules which physical

particles are in that blood test they're

measuring passive tissue which really

has nothing to do with function it's an

effect of something else

and the next level up is active tissue

and active tissue is muscle muscle is

the tissue that can change shape and it

performs all the function in the body so

when you move a limb that's a muscle

when your heart beats that's a muscle

when your blood pressure changes that's

a muscle in a blood vessel that

constricts and so the the passive tissue

is a tertiary affect the active tissue

the muscle is secondary but the primary

function in the body is the nervous

system the brain and the nervous system

that regulates all function so once we

truly understand this this hierarchy we

know that it doesn't matter if you have

an ulcer or you have a headache or you

have a neck pain or if you're can't

digest food whatever it is that's going

on it is not the problem of the body

part because the body part is only

acting on the regulation

on the brain okay so whatever the issue

is there is an imbalance in the brain

and the only way that we can ever change

it is if we change something about the

brain something about the way that the

brain perceives it so that's why we we

measure that in this office and that's

why we use that as the yardstick to know

when we're making progress and and when

we're done and health what is health

we've already touched on that that's

when everything is working the way it

should and another way of saying that is

it's when your nervous system can

process and coordinate all the

information appropriately so you have a

hundred trillion cells in your body

every little cell is a little machine a

little miracle machine that can do all

of the wonderful things that you can do

it can process oxygen and nutrients it

can make proteins that have has

respiration and as excretion it does all

these incredible things if you put it in

a solution it will stay alive for

forever basically and all of these cells

are working in your best interest but

they can only work if they work together

and the nervous system is what helps

them talk to each other so

you can coordinate the effort to keep

you alive against the the world out

there in the world out there so we have

this miraculous body mind it is

self-healing self-regulating and it can

heal anything this sounds pretty basic

but think about this anything means

anything there is no condition that a

human has not recovered from there is no

cancer that is a hundred percent fatal

there is no disease that no one has

recovered from what that means is the

mechanism for healing is built in and it

took me years and years and years to do

to get that that you know it's not some

of the things it's not the little simple

things like a scratch or a thumbnail

it's anything and the only limit is if

we if we believe it can happen and if

there is some sort of interference if

there is something that is keeping that

mechanism from happening and that's what

we're going to spend most of the time

so when there is interference and when

there is imbalance what was it that

happened what's going on in the body and

so they would want to talk about

hardware and software so we all know

that a computer has a smart worm that's

the stuff that you can touch and the the

mechanistic

and electronic parts of it but we also

need software to run the computer

without the software the computer is

absolutely useless it just sits there

even with a power turned on it is

absolutely useless unless it has

software and unless it has a way for us

to to interact with it and the same

holds true with the body the physical

tissue is is useless without it is only

as good as the software operating it

when so what's a hardware lesion well a

gunshot a knife wound a broken bone all

those things they're pretty obvious that

there's something broken there's

something damaged about the physical

machine but what about diabetes

what about headaches what about high

blood pressure you can't take a picture

of it so it's not the physicalness that

that's the problem

and yet that's really the only thing

that our

our health care system can address is is

the hardware stuff so we're going to

talk about is the software and we're

gonna realize that all degenerative

diseases that's 99 plus percent of

everything that affects people when they

get older that affects our seniors

population all of that is a software

problems they're not suffering from from

gun wounds and broken bones they're

suffering from some regulation that

isn't working so when we when we start

understanding that that we are more

software as more signals then we also

start understanding that the medical

model as good as it is saving lives it

is based on something called

reductionism and reductionism means that

if you take a machine if you take

something physical and you start taking

it apart
