22:42: "So if you're constantly focused on things you can't have, things you can't control, those types of things, if you're focused there, You're gonna prime your body to think that you are in a stressful state, that there's a sabertooth tiger after you and drive inflammation and lower your immune system."

23:05: “You can’t actually control all your thoughts. However, you can control the flashlight. Which thoughts do you wanna focus on? Which thoughts do you want to actually amplify?”

23:39: “We know that the emotions of love, of gratitude, of connection, of joy, of murth, creativity, all those positive celebratory emotions, gratitude being the top one in that list is actually anti-aging medicine. Whereas the emotions of stress, anger, hate, fear, resentment, worry, guilt, and shame drive the stress response.”

25:48: "If you're not paying attention to your sleep or what you're eating or moving or you're under a lot of stress. It drops the growth hormone testosterone in men which basically makes you feel sluggish, have brain fog, and put on fat easily."
