Exactly. As someone with chronic fatigue I can vouch that brain-dead sedentary activity is what I go for whenever I'm having an extra bad day, because of the extra bad day. Being sedentary absolutely does worsen my state, too, but let&

This sounds extremely valuable. While it does seem like chronic health issues and endocrine disorders are going up, I'd definitely bet that a substantial chunk of the uptick in mental illness stems simply from loneliness.

The exact reason why overgrowth happens is because an opportunistic strain takes advantage of a dysbiotic state - even if you suppress it with antibiotics, your gut still lacks the robustness of composition necessary to be resilient. In fac
