The human mind, body and spirit are very wise.
We do not just "malfunction"- we adapt.

Our bodies and minds are experts at adapting to keep us functioning, and humans can get "used to" a lot. When we chronically adapt to conditions that are deplete our health- too much work, too little rest, high stress, nutritional deficiency, lack of adequate interpersonal support, chronic illness- we eventually see the impact of this in physical, emotional and mental symptoms. In our daily life, we may be unaware of these adaptations, as they are often a product of modern society that places more value on productivity and  than on well-being or health.

This is a major reason why so many people in modern society continue to struggle with mood disorders, chronic pain and inflammation, hormonal dysfunction, metabolic issues, autoimmune diseases and other debilitating medical conditiond.

We were never meant to live this way.
