Pages or listeners, I thought I would answer your emails and I thought I would actually

0:03.4

do a lightning round or I would actually really try to answer as many emails as possible

0:08.1

in the shortest amount of time.

0:09.4

So we have a question from Discord Eleanor, says, Dr. Kirk, can you break down age regression

0:14.6

and all the different stages and the reasons for it?
