00:00You have lived in your body since the second you were born.
00:03You breathe with it, move with it, and think through it.
00:07But the truth is, you are a stranger to yourself.
00:12Right now, there is a silent war happening in your gut.
00:16Your brain is making decisions for you before you even think them.
00:20And your bones?
00:21They are constantly being eaten and rebuilt by tiny biological machines.
00:26Most people think they know how they work.
00:28They are wrong.
00:30In the next 30 minutes, we are going to strip away the skin
00:34and reveal the terrifying, beautiful, and bizarre secrets of the human machine
00:39that 99% of people will never understand.
00:43Let's start with the CEO.
00:45Your brain.
00:47You think you are in control of your choices,
00:49but research in neuro law and psychology suggests otherwise.
00:54Did you know that your brain shows electrical activity for an action up to 7 seconds
00:59before you are even consciously aware of making the decision?
01:03This is called the readiness potential.
01:06You aren't the driver.
01:08You're the passenger watching a pre-recorded movie.
01:11Your brain also filters out 99% of reality so you don't go insane.
01:16You don't see your nose, even though it's always in your field of vision.
01:20You don't feel the clothes on your skin after 5 minutes.
01:24Your brain is a master of deception.
01:26Most people think bones are just dry, dead sticks, that hold us up.
01:31Wrong.
01:32Your bones are a living, breathing organ system.
01:35Every 10 years, you have a completely new skeleton.
01:39Your body is constantly dissolving your bones to regulate calcium levels in your blood.
01:44If you don't eat enough calcium,
01:46your body literally starts eating itself to keep your heart beating.
01:50And your bones are stronger than steel.
01:53A block of bone the size of a matchbox can support 9 tons of weight.
01:57That's 4 times more than concrete.
02:00If I told you that you have a second brain,
02:03where would you look?
02:04It's not in your head.
02:06It's in your gut.
02:07The enteric nervous system contains 100 million neurons.
02:11That's more than in your spinal cord.
02:13This is why you feel butterflies when you're nervous
02:16or a gut feeling when something is wrong.

02:24We release deep dives like this every week
02:27to help you understand the world and yourself.
02:30You aren't just you.
02:32You are a walking planet.
02:33Only 43% of the cells in your body are actually human.
02:38The rest?
02:39They are bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
02:43There are more microbes in your gut than there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
02:47These bacteria control your moods,
02:50your cravings, and even your personality.
02:53When you crave sugar, it's often not you.
02:56It's the bacteria in your gut demanding a refill.
02:59We were taught that the heart is just a pump,
03:02but it is also the body's strongest oscillator.
03:05The heart's electrical field is about 60 times greater in amplitude than the brain's.
03:10It can be detected several feet away from the body.
03:13This is why you can sense someone's presence or vibe before they even speak.
03:19You are communicating through frequency before you ever use words.
03:23Your body is a master of repair.
03:25Your stomach lining replaces itself every few days so it doesn't digest itself.
03:31Your liver can grow back to its full size, even if 75% of it is removed.
03:37But the ultimate secret?
03:38Your body is designed to heal.
03:41But our modern world, the stress, the processed food, the lack of sleep,
03:47is a constant hack into its system.
03:5099% of people don't know their body, because they've stopped listening to it.
03:56You are a walking miracle of 37 trillion cells,
04:00all working in harmony just so you can watch this video.
04:03Treat your body like the temple it is,
04:06not the cage you think it is.
04:08Here it is.
