Reah asks him some questions taken from the Mind/Body health chapter of "Falolity's Guide to Dad Brain" and Dangelo gives his thoughts on the current contributions to health management (or lack of, and difficult contributing factors).

This topic (stress) was so important  and held so much information we split it into two parts. In the first part we talked with Cheri about life stress and trauma.
