Stop consuming chemical forms of Vitamin A.

These synthetic forms of Vitamin A activate sensory receptors in our digestive tract, triggering our sympathetic nervous system and fight-or-flight stress response.

When consumed, the chemical causes irritation of the digestive tissue.

Which activates the sensory receptors to trigger the fight or flight stress response.

Insulin, histamine and inflammatory cytokines are released to heal the tissue.

And finally, cortisol, endorphins and dopamine are released to lower the pain and inflammation.

As the tissue heals the stress response settles and balance is restored.

Short-term stress can provide benefits, but it's crucial to understand that regular consumption of products with added chemical forms of Vitamin A keeps us in a constant fight-or-flight stressed state.

Prolonged intake can harm sensory receptors, disrupting their ability to send signals to and from the brain.

This disruption can lead to adverse health effects such as inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and declining neurotransmitter function, resulting in heightened anxiety, fatigue, soreness, and a mix of hypo- and hypersensitivity to our environment.
