The human body is smart, incredibly adaptable and resilient, but it's not indestructible. And while it's always chatting with us (the human in the body) and doing its best to guide, inform and warn, sadly, we seem to be listening less and less, and drowning out the biological wisdom with a curious range of numbing agents and avoidance strategies; pain killers, anti-inflammatories, booze, junk food, recreational drugs and an ever-increasing choice of dopamine-providing distractions. *Bill Sullivan, Ph.D., is the author of one of my favourite books; 'Pleased to Meet Me: Genes, Germs, and the Curious Forces That Make Us Who We Are'. Enjoy.
