[video v=AdHOXKLgGUY]The end section is not so great. It is not just about 'light touch regulation' as it is for each of us to realize how we personally, are addicted, and why, and what we can do to live in a better way.
Mark Hyman talks with Gabor Mate about the mind-body not as connected but as a single system, why are we seeing more chronic disease, stress, obesity, addiction, and so many other states of illness than ever before, the role of trauma, and much more ...
[video v=2MjONzZs1wo]Has eating become an addiction ?
[video v=Yg6UhhV_K1s]Simplest, and very effective, method is called daily fasting - don't eat 3-4 hours before sleep, or 3-4 hours after waking. This will put the body's build / repair phases back in balance.
One can see this distinction in the wider society too - East vs. West; cultures with different foundations - long term (family, infrastructure, community, the arts) versus short term (hype, sex, gossip, war). Mature versus immature. We versus me.
The immature mind thinks 'me'; the mature mind understands that life is really about 'we'.
Maturity is when one grows beyond the narcissism phase *.
'I' am just a small part of a bigger 'I' - humanity.

[video v=EKkUtrL6B18]One is controlled when one believes what one has been told (sold).
Freedom is removing these mind chains and seeing reality.

* (footnote) At BB, we think that narcissism is a development phase that most transition out of; but some stay there and it can become exaggerated. The traditional views might also be true; likely, there is an interplay involved.

Aside #1 : Q : Why does BB have so much content about health - nutrition and mental well-being ?
A : Because it is fundamental to everything else; one cannot see the beauty of life if one's mind is mixed up; one cannot live life to the full if one is ill.

Aside #2 : Confucius : One can grow from everybody one meets. On life's journey, one will meet wise people - learn from them; one will also meet foolish people - look deep within to see if one also has these follies.

Of all the four pillars of health - diet, exercise, sleep and relaxation - the last is often the hardest to improve.

To be free, is to be off the time-lapse trajectory of the past into the future. This means to stop rationalizing and die to the past - only then one can truly live in the present moment. The past is still the past, but one is no longer its hostage.
What stands in the way of a true life is - you - that is, the past, that one thinks of as 'me' (a mush of programming and fantasies - the noise that precludes clarity).
The truth is simple; but it is not easy. One must be aware of one's thoughts and see them not as you but as relics; to see these thoughts as what they really are and not be ruled by them. The first, and crucial, step is to see how one has been hijacked by the past. To be free, is to be free of the past.
Truth is not about believing, or 'knowing', a bunch of concepts; truth is being real.
At BB, we can recommend Alan Watts, Jiddu Krishnamurti and Gabor Mate as sincere and wise voices to explore this more; though there are many others, these are straight talkers (some of their talks are featured here). The thing is - the guide is not the truth, it is only a guide; never trust in or believe a guide as though it is the truth - either you simply believe this or that, or you are true. Don't be an addict - to a belief. Don't be an addict to your past and ego.
