Marriage counselors treat communication, conflict, and emotional distance as three separate problems.

But the real killer?

Chronic stress rewiring nervous systems to see each other as threats—so love feels unsafe.

Here's how to reset both before it's too late: 🧵 Image Most couples think, “Once we communicate better, we’ll be fine.”

But chronic stress rewires your brain to see your partner as a threat, not because you don’t love them but because you’re stuck in survival mode.

Better words can’t fix broken biology.

Andrew Huberman just dropped a 2‑hour masterclass on cortisol — your body’s main stress hormone.

High cortisol = burnout, faster aging, weight gain, memory loss, heart disease, Alzheimer’s.

Here’s a 7‑step protocol to fix your cortisol (backed by science):🧵 Image
Image
Step 1: Understand cortisol

Cortisol isn’t “bad.”

You need it to wake up, think clearly, and respond to challenges.

The problem is:
• Too much
• At the wrong time
• For too long

That’s the chronic stress pattern that quietly wrecks your health.

The deadliest killer isn't obesity or depression.

It's why you're depressed, anxious, and your nervous system is in chaos.

Here's the shocking truth about it and exactly how to break free (for good): Image Most people don't realize they're stuck in survival mode.

Because it's been normalized.

We've mistaken constant exhaustion, anxiety, and burnout for "just life."

Under the surface, it's quietly destroying you in ways you can't see… yet.

Anxiety, depression, and burnout are not “all in your head... They’re in your gut.

Your gut makes 90% of serotonin and 50% of dopamine.

When the gut is inflamed, your mind suffers.

Since your doctor won’t tell you this...

Here are 7 ways to fix the gut–mind connection: 🧵 The gut is lined with 500 million neurons—your “second brain.”

It talks to your real brain through the vagus nerve.

When your gut is balanced, you feel calm, focused, resilient.

When it’s inflamed, the signals go haywire—triggering stress, anxiety, and brain fog. Image

Leo Tolstoy.

Dr. Gabor Maté dedicated his life to curing childhood trauma.

His finding? Trauma is the root of most:

• diseases
• addictions
• stress & anxiety

It's not in your mind and invisible in your genes.

I've collected his 5 most powerful lessons: (THREAD) 🧵 Image

1. Western medicine sees disease as a separate "thing."

But Maté shows illness is not an entity; it’s a process.

Your life, relationships, and environment shape whether disease develops or heals.

Mind, body, and society are inseparable. Image
