A lot of neuroscience research talks about the gut being your second brain. We all have it, we just tend to suppress it for whatever reason. So when that heart is elevated, when you start sweating, when your thoughts are a little foggy, when you feel uncomfortable, you need to pay attention to all of those things. Your body is telling you something. And then just saying if something ever comes to you that just seems odd, stop, pause and call me because a long lost grandchild. Do some fact checking, ask two people in your family or in your community. Does this make sense and how can I follow up?
Even if there are not many obvious warning signs, a gut feeling can tell you when something seems amiss.
