When Tommy speaks of being careful of liquidating all your assets, he’s referring to the notion that causing absolute burnout to your mind and body will lead to chronic inflammation and a host of other problems over time.

While fitness and biofeedback apps can have their benefits, this show contemplates how being connected this way to your body’s nutrition and fitness needs can actually spread the gap further between your mind/body connection and produce an overly regimented life dependent on various gadgets. While such devices are lovely pieces of technology, on one hand, they also lead to not correctly exercising your most important muscle – your brain!
