If you broke it down, the core issue was a dysregulated stress response. From there you simply followed the thread, looking at how that dysregulation affected each of the body’s systems. We made a choice to start our investigations with the underlying systems. If we wanted to identify and treat what was wrong, we had to know what was happening on a molecular level. We turned back to the literature and tried to break it down system by system, figuring out as best we could exactly how toxic stress was disrupting the normal functions of the body.
