Brain tracking technology shows that modern city environments place an unrelenting, exhausting demand on your mind.

Your biological repair queue has a massive line item for mental rest that cannot be resolved in a gym or on a mattress.
We are more disconnected from the natural world than at any point in human history. Your nervous system is paying the price for that isolation in real time.
