0:00.0	Welcome to the Cabral concept, where board certified doctor of naturopathy, Dr. Stephen Cabral,
0:05.8	shares with you exactly how you can reverse aging, take back your health, and live a life
0:10.9	full of energy and passion with new 20-minute episodes every single day to keep you healthy and engaged.
0:17.7	Now, here's your host, Dr. Stephen Cabral.
0:25.6	Hey, everybody, we're back with a brand new week here on the Cabral concept. Excited to share with you, one of my favorite books from when I was younger called Walden by Henry David Thoreau.
0:31.6	You might be familiar with it. Really popular book. Yes, it was published back in 1854,
0:36.6	but the material in it, 175 years later,
0:40.7	more than that now, is probably more important than ever. And Henry David Thoreau spoke about
0:45.6	this thing called BrainRot. Even back then, even before TV, internet, all of these different
0:51.3	things that can take our attention, he spoke about this thing about
0:54.5	being distracted, being overly busy. I'm going to get exactly to why he went to then live in the
0:59.9	woods for over two years in this place called Walden or Walden Pond. Now, I've had the pleasure
1:05.4	of actually hiking Walden Pond many times. I used to swim the pond way back in the day when I was
1:10.1	doing sprint triathlon training,
1:11.8	beautiful open water swim, a very, very popular destination, lots of traffic. But the interesting
1:16.8	thing is when you walk into Walden, they have a replica of Henry David Thoreau's cabin. Now here's
1:22.8	the thing though. It isn't actually his cabin or where he stayed. If you look and you'll be able to find it, you can do us do a little online search. You can hike to the original destination. You can actually see some of the stones that laid the foundation. Just a little aside there, I love being able to, you know, kind of the archaeologist in me, right? That's someone who used to love to look into that type of work.
1:47.8	Love to be able to say, oh, this is actually, you know, 150 years ago.
1:54.5	This is where Henry David Thoreau lived for a couple years as he was retreating to nature from society.
2:01.3	Now, I'm not saying that you need to go and live in the woods for a few years in order to be able to find yourself or to remove this brain rot. But what I wanted to share today was five specific tips that I try to use. And again,
2:06.1	I'm not perfect, but if I can keep them to the forefront of my mind and I can also teach my clients
2:10.5	and in our community as well, I think it's going to help us a lot. And that is because we are distracted
